Marco Bozznra. BY FITZGREEN HALLECK. At midnight, in his guarded tent, The Turk was dreaming of the hour, When Greece, her knee insupplianccbent, Should tremble at his power; * In dreams, through camp and court, he bore The trophies of a conqueror; * In dreams, his song of triumph heard ; Then wore his monarch’s signet ring,— Then press’d that monarch’s throne, —a king ; As wild his thoughts and gay of wing, As Eden’s garden bird. An hour passed on, —the Turke awoke ; That bright dream was his last; He woke—to hear his sentry shriek, 0 To arms! they come! the Greek ! the Greek - He woke—to die—midst flame and smoke, And shout, and groan, and sabre stroke, And death shots falling thick and last As lightning from the mountain cloud: And heard, with voice as trumpet loud, Bozzaries cheer his band. “Strike—till the last armed foe expires, Strike—for your alters and your fires, Strike—for the green graves of your sires, God—and your native land.” They lought like brave men long and well They piled that ground with Moslem slain. They conquered—but Bozzaris* fell, Bleeding at every vein. His few surviving comrades saw His smile, when rang their proud—“hurrah,” And the red field was won ; Then saw in death his eyelids close,- Calmly as the night’s repose, Like flowers at set of sun. C ome to the bridal chamber, Death! Come to the mother when she lecls, For the first time, her first-born’s breath y, Come when the blessed seals, Which close pestilence, are broke, And crowded cities wail its stroke; Come in consumption’s ghastly form, The earthquake shock, the ocean storm ; Come when the heart beats high and warm. With banquet song and dance and wine— And thou art terrible: the- Sear, The groan, the knell, the pally the bier* And all we know, or dream, o* fear Os agony, are thine. But to the hero, when his sw r ord Has won the battle for the free, Thy voice sounds like a prophet’s word. And in its hollow tones are heard The thanks of millions yet to be. Bozzaris ! with the storied brave Greece nurtured in her glory’s time, Rest thee—there is no prouder grave, Even in her own proud clime. We tell thy doom without a sigh ; For thou art Frcedoom’s now, and Fame’s— One of the few, the immortal names, That were not born to die. * Marco Bozarris the Greek hero, fell in a night attack upon the Turkish Camp at Laspi, the site of the ancient Platsea, August 29,1823, and expired in the moment of.yic tory. His Jast words were —“To die for liberty is a pleasure not a pain.” Learn to Spout.— This is the first advice that a female whale gives its young, and it is jnst the advice that every American mother should give her boys. In no country in the world is there such a field for off hand speakers to operate in as in the United States. A man capable of stir ring up a multitude at a mass meeting can reach any office in the gift of the people, be ginning with comptroller of poultry, and leaving off with the Presidency. In the present Con gress there are fifty-six Senators ; forty-three are or have been lawyers, leaving only thirteen for all the other professions. Now, why is this ? Why should twenty thousand lawyers have eight times as many representatives in the Se nate as the whole twenty-five million of other people ? For no other reason in the world than that lawyers are generally good speakers; But why should good speakers be limited to one profession ? We know not of a single good reason. Every school should have a declamation club connected with it. Boys of all classes should be initiated in the art and mystery of persua sion. With early training the mechanic and farmer would become as successful “on the stump” as gentlemen who consume their oil in pouring over the old fogyism of Coke and Lit tleton. To be a good speaker, all that is requi red is a first class memory and a little manly confidence. The former can be acquired by practice at any time, the latter however can only be obtained by “breaking the ice’’ during our schoolboy days. Again we say, “learn to spout.’’ Mississippi. —We rejoice to see that the dis sensions and divisions that have so unhappily existed in the Democratic ranks in our sister State, since the adjournment of their State Convention in May, and which seriously en dangered their success in the approaching elec tions, have given way to reason and prudence, and that the party is once more united, with the single exception of the division attempted to be produced by Gov. Foote and his friends.— The number ot these latter, however, is daily growing “small by degrees and beautifully less.’’ Foote has leaned so much to the whigs—coated thor support so openly, as to render him com paratively powerless in creating discord in the party in which he professes to belong. The principal obstacle to an effective Union of the party, consisted in the running ot Gen. Reuben Davis of Aberdeen, a gentleman of much infl u . ence and popularity, as independent candidate for Congress from tbe State at large, on account of unfair dealing which he supposed to have been practiced towards him by the State Con vention. This difficulty is now fortunately re moved. Gen Davis has accepted an agency from the New Orleans and Great Northern Railroad Company, and retires from the can vass. The \ icksburg Sentinel, in .noticing Gen. D’s. withdrawal, says: Thus the last cloud disappears from our po litical horizon ; and thus we see one graod aim °*! r labors accomplished, the re. uni -1 ot the Democratic party.-AioMe Reg . times mtk Smiittfl. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. ” SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 15, 1853. The Resnlt in Muscogee. Disappointed politicians can’t see clearly. They are like blind adders, and strike, in the dark, at every breath that rustles the leaves around them. We cannot blame them 5 it would be unkind to grow angry with them ; it would be unchristian to retaliate even though it would be as easy to do so as it is about the result in Muscogee. It is charged that “the Democracy spent much money to gain the election.” No doubt some money was spent on both sides; but not as much, certainly, by the De mocracy, as is usual in general elections. We know of one Conservative, who spent a cool thousand, and we would be willing to take a bet, that no one Demo crat was out of pocket the half of that amount. “Free quarters were opened iu the city for the voters.” That may be so ;we did not visit the ren dezvous. But a more secure, if a more retired, and cheaper resort, was provided in the country by the olh er side—if rumor is not dreadfully at fault. At any rate several “floats” very mysteriously disappeared the day before the election, and did not make their appear ance again in the city until afterwards. A writer for the Southern Recorder charges that stockholders in broken banks took part in favour of the Democratic ticket, in order to elect Judges of the Su preme Court, favorable to their interest, and used the money freely which they made by the failure of these banks, to secure its election, and thus defeat a recovery ! This is a most singular charge in the face of the fact, that Alfred Iverson, the head and front of the Demo cratic party in Muscogee, is the identical Judge who made the decisions by which the liability of the stok holders in these broken banks was fixed. Besides, there is not a man in Muscogee, spoken of for Judge, who has any personal interest, in the Bank cases, re ferred to by the correspondent of the Recorder. And as further evidence of the futility of the charge, we proudly and triumphantly refer to the fact that Mr. Worrel’s name was printed on both the Whig and Democratic tickets, and he received the almost unani mous vote of the whole people, albeit he has no inte rest in the world, in the final issue of these troublesome causes. It is also well known that large stockholders in these broken banks voted the entire whig county ticket, and that a distinguished lawyer, who is counsel for the stockholders, used all his influence on the same side. There are twosidcs to this question, if the stockholders were on our side, when were “the holders of the bills and other demands against the broken banks in this place?” They, of course, were on the other side, if the stockholders were on ours ; and their influence and votes counteracted the influence and votes of the stockholders. But we are giving too much importance to this ridiculous charge. We do do not know, or imagine who the correspon dent is; but we presume he is one of the “bill holders, ’’ who imagines that the whole earth revolves around his little ease. We commend to him the fable of the wagoner and the butterfly, and for fear he may not be familiar with the classics, we will mention that once on a time, a countryman overloaded his waggon with hay ; the soil was soft and the wheels stuck in the mud : He whipp’d his horses, but in vain ; They pull'd and splash’d, and pull’d again, But vainly still ; the slipp< rysoil Defied their strength— A Buterfly, in flower conceal’d, Had trarell’d with them from the field ; Who in the wagon was thrown up, While teasting on a buttercup. The panting of each lab'ring beast Disturbed her at her fragrant feast; The sudden stop, the drivers sigh, Awoke her gen’rous sympathy. And seeing the distressing care, She cried, while springing from'her place, (Imagining her tiny freight A vast addition to the weight,) “I must have pity—and be gone, Now master Wagoner, drive on.” But badinage aside •, we aro tired and sick of this eternal fuss about the bank cases. There are other people in Muscogee beside very respectable ‘‘bill holders,” and their attorneys, and “stockholders’’ and their attorneys. The late contenst was waged by them on party principles—gallantly on each side—and lost by the one because they could not get enough votes, and won by the other because they were more active, or more popular, or had better principles. All excusses about the money spent on one side, and not on the other, bill-holders and stockholders, et cetera , are all gammon, and every body but the man that makes them, knows they are. Be honest, gentlemen, and aeknowl edge the corn. W T e conquored you in a fair fight; the arms we used, you used ; and the only difference is, that we plied them more adroitly and in a better cause. Judges o! the Supreme Court. It will devolve upon the Legislature, shortly to con vene, to elect two Judges of the Supreme Court. The qualities which are necessary to constitute a good Judge, of this august tribunal, are so varied that they can rarely be found united in the same individual. First of all, he must be a just man ; and this implies not only scrupulous honesty, but a mind capable of mak ing the nicest discriminations between what is right and what is wrong. He has to follow the wrong door in all the tortuous labrynths of iniquity ana condemn him. lie must be a bold and incorruptible man. His cheek must not blanch at the threats of the violent, nor his palmy itch for the gold of the opulent man. He must be learned in all departments of the law ; for he reviews the decisions of all inferior tribunals ; and not only learn ed, but have the power to apply his knowledge, eo in stanti , it is demanded by the exigencies of the cases which come before him. By the peculiarities of our judicial system, no time is given for lengthy investiga tion of authorities, and often none even for continuous reflection. There are uot many men in Georgia who pos sess all these qualities. Where ever they can be found, they ought to be seized upon by our Legislators and invested with the ermine of justice. Confident, that, at least, two gentlemen reside in Western Georgia who possess these qualities in an emiuent degree, we will not be restained by a false deleoacy from present ing their claims to the public. We allude, of course, to Marshall J. Wellborn and Henry L. Benning, Esqrs. Mr. Wellborn gained an enviable reputation, some i years ago, as Judge of the Chattahoochee Circuit, and j has since extended his knowledge by foreign travel, I and a participation in the complex legislation of this gt eat country, as Representative in Congress. Since his retirement from political life, he has devoted himself to the practice of his profession. Mr. Benning, we belive, has never filled official sta tion, but has, for a number of years, devoted himself ex clusively to the practice of his profession, with eminent ! success. Both of these gentlemen have the entire confidence of this community, and all attempts, here or elsewhere, to weaken their position before the country, are laughed at, as the mere ebullitions of disappointed political hope# and aspirations, by the dispassionate and disinterested of both political parties. The elevation of one or both of them to the Supreme bench would give unqualified pleasure to the great body of both political parties in this part of the State. Apathy in the Second District. This is the excuse of several Whig papers for the de feat of Jenkins in the State. This is unkind, ns well as unjust, to the gallant men who bore the Whig ban ner aloft in this district. The defeat of the Whigs here, is attributable to the superior activity and zeal of the Democracy, and the strength and goodness of their cause, and not to any want of ability, zeal, or activity of the Whigs. They fought every inch of ground, defend ed every strong hold, brought into the fight every spe cies of arms, and maneuvered with excellent skill. The county candidates did their utmost, we know, and we doubt if one solitary Whig who is now chuckling over his election, in other parts of the State, did half the work of their defeated friends iu this District. And we are sure that James Johnson, their candidate for Congress did his duty and his whole duty to his party, lie talked incessently for his side, rode over a very large extent of country, spoke wherever in the judgement of his party anything could he made by speaking, and fell with his feet to the foe. Be generous, therefore, gen tlemen ; give hono>r where honor is due, but reserve your censure until you find the guilty man. The Whigs here feel bad enough on account of a defeat, which was unexpected, without being held responsible for faults of which they are not guilty. Take lessons from us, and learn to be temperate. When the fight was raging, we did our best to whip you, but now its over, we give you our right hand in token of continued love and good felling until war is again declared. Till then let us live in peace, and let byegones be byegous. Georgia. We are gratified at the daily evidences which are afforded of the high and influential position which our noble commonwealth occupies in the Federation. The following extract from an address of Albert J. Picket, the historian of Alabama, will be read with interest. By the way, why is not this distinguished citizen called to fill some political position worthy of his moral worth and large attainments. We suggest him, as Col. Win ston’s successor in the Gubbernatoria chair of our sister State. Let the State honor the man who honors her. But to the extract, Col. Picket says : The most prospering and enterprising State in the South is that v hieh lies upon our eastern border. She has nine hundred and ninety-nine miles of Railroad, over which run, night and day, cars laden with freight and filled with passengers. Georgia is truly a great State, and a pattern tor ours and all other Southern States. Her limits are so large as to compose ninety-nine Counties: the soil of which is as diversified as the climate; yet, her people and products are brought together, in the space of a few hours, by means of the great internal improvements to which I have alluded. Evidences of remarkable prosperity are observable in all directions in that State. The water-tails are seldom left as Nature formed them ; but Factories and Flour Mills are pro pelled by their power. In Augusta, the Savannah river has been conducted to the most elevated ground, by a long ca nal, which is studded, also, with Mills and Factories.— There is, too, a general intelligence existing in Georiga that we do not find in :ny other State. Whatever is illiberal and mean in other States appertains not to Georgia. I have reference, of course, to her public spirit. The people look to the interest of their whole State, and effect im provements upon a scale of magnitude and importance.— itavines of great depth are tilled up; the mountain spurs are levelled : mountains themselves aro tunneled ; costly, bridges are thrown across rivers—all—all—for the tracks oi Railroads. From the Tennessee River to her distant sea-board, Georgia opens to her people every facility ; the young, the middle-aged, and the old rapidly travel from one portion of the State to another. No one can visit Georgia without becoming satisfied that she possesses a great and happy people. The Correspondent of the London limes. The Washington Union charges without naming him, that C. Edwards Lester is the American correspondent of the L ondon Times whose assaults upon President Pierce have been of late characterised by so much violence and defamation. The motives which influence this shameless man are thus exposed in the Washington Union. We shall not writedown the name of this hired tradu cer of his own country’s fame ; but we will daguerreo type him by the light of truth reflected from the record of his past life, until all good men will call out for “a whip of scorpions to lah the traitor naked through the world.” Before the inauguration of President Pierce, the corres pondent of the London Times visited Concord, and im portuned him for a position in the diplomatic or consular establishment. Chief among his recommendations to the favor of the President elect were his letters to the London Times , copies of which he carried with him, and among these were the most profuse and extravagant laudations of that gentleman. He hung about Concord for “days, and persisted in his application with characteristic effrontery. After President Pierce’s inauguration he called on Gov ernor Marcy, and sought to propitiate him by the same means, and by offering to procure the insertion of articles iu the London Times. But all to no effect. His history was written too plainly and tco recently to be forgotten and the administration would not have dared to listen fa* vorably to his application, and for the reason that it would have been a degradation. Ilis petition was rejected, ’and now the London Times groans under his calumnies ! But why was his application rejected ? We will answer : He was a United States consul at Genoa, Sardinia, and was appointed by Mr. Tyler iu June, 1842 ; and though professing to be a democrat, removed by President Polk in September, 1847. Ilis career at Genoa presents a rec ord of misconduct and disgraceful abuse of his trust as an American consul which more tahn justified the executive act which called him home in disgrace. We have no wish to nauseate our readers by a detail of his profligacy and abuse of trust whilst at Genoa, but will be content to glance at a few of the well authenticated facts. The Hon. R. W. Wickliffe, junior, our distinguished charge d’affaires at Turin during the most of the time that the cor respondent of the London Times was at Genoa, being his superior in position,"and more or less acquainted with him, was compelled te report his misconduct to the home government. He did so in repeated despatches, the whole making, as we are assured, a solid and irrefragable mass of evidence of his unworthiness of the respect and confi® dence of his country. Mr. Wickliffe chat ges him with repeated acts of falsehood, fraud, and deception. He claimed to be the neph. w of President Polk in order to induce M. Vespucci, of Florence, to reward him, on con* dition of his getting the American Congress to grant him a large body of land because he was a lineal descendant of Americus Vcspucius. To bind the bargain, M. Vespucci put into his hands a picture of great value and age, which had been in the family for years. He attempted to pro cure a large fee from an Italian gentleman who wished to be made United States vice-consul at one of the Sardini an ports, the revenue of which he grossly and intention ally exaggerated. He was charged with appropriating the wages of the sick American seamen who were lying sick in the hospital at Genoa, and when he left on leave of abseence he provided no money to repay the debt, so that the poor sailors might be relieved. To save the cred it of the American legation, Mr. Wickliffe and vice con sul paid the debts lelt by him. including money retained by him, and belonging to the invalid seamen. Wlitn he left < n a leave not to exceed four months, but which was protracted beyond a year, he directed the vice eonsn] at Genoa to take the key of the Consular chest, and he would find in that money to pay the debts of the consu late by him, the London Times’ correspondent, contrac ted, and upon opening the chest not a cent was found. That wheat production of Ohio is estimated to average 25,000,000 bushels per annum, of which 13,000,000 are surplus. It is said that only about one-fifth of the land in the State is under cultivation. While some of the premium crops exceed 50 bushels to the acre, tho ave rage yield of the State will not exceed 16 bushels. Fire in Macon. —The Journal and Messenger of yesterday says:—On Tuesday morning about two o’clock, the warehouse on the corner of First and Cheery-street, occupied by Messrs. Wyche & Gates, and owned by Leroy Napier, was discovered to 1* on fire, and notwithstanding the active exertions of our cit'zens to save it, was totally consumed, together with a small woodeu tenement, on First street, adjoining it. The warehouse was insured for $1,500 in the yEtna Insurance Company of Hartford. The house on First street was owned by a non-resident, whose name we have been unable to learn, and was insured in the Southern Mutual or Savannah Mutual Insurance Co.— There was a small lot of cotton in the warehoue at the time of the fire, a few bales of which were destroyed, together with two or three hundred bushels of corn. — The adjoining buildings on Cherry and first-street (all of them wooden) were in imminent peril, and were saved with great difficulty Yellow Fever Statistics.— The whole number of deaths in Mobile by yellow fever, from Ist of August to the 30th of September, was 782. The greatest num ber of deaths in any one day was 38, on the Bth of September. The total number of deaths for the two months mentioned, from all causes, was 1070. In 1839, the last time the epidemic was in Mobile, the to tal number of deaths from all causes, for the same two morkhs, was 531. Showing that the epidemic this year has been more than twice as fatal as it was in 1839. Tennessee Legislature. —The Legislature convened in the new capitol on the morning of the 3d. In the Senate, Edwin Polk of Hardeman county, received the votes of the democrats, and was elected Speaker over Dr. McCarriger, for whom the whigs voted. After forty-two votes for First Clerk, 11. 11. Harrison, R. S. Paine, and T. W. Bell, being candidates, the Senate adjourned. In the house, (all the members present ex cept Smith of Haywood, and Cummings of Coffee coun ties,) W. H. Wisener was elected Speaker over Gen. Wm. Wilmer, for whom the whigs voted. Richard B, Cheatham was elected First Clerk on the first bal lot. The balance of the day was spent in ineffectual attempts to elect a first Assistant Clerk.— Delta. W. D. Porter, of the U. S. Navy, has an interesting letter in the N. Y. Post on ship building. He suggests that our steamers should have narrower paddles, of the traperian shape, with the largest base near the vessel’s side. The requisites of a fast steamer, he says, are— first, length ; seeond, fine entrance ; third, light draft of water 5 fourth, narrow floats, and few of them, and and leverage. [FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.] The Recorder’s Private Correspondent. We can easily forgive the spirit that prompted the Re corder’s “private correspondent,” and pity the state of mind he is in—and the excessive chagrin he leels at the defeat oi his darling party based on beau-ideal principles. How manfully does he beat against that irresistible supremacy of correot principles which is bearing down upon the weak ranks of Whiggery, like the strong wave of the oceon on weeds that gather there—hurrying them against the rocks and the shore. Would he compare the sum of money won from the game of broken banks and spent to forward the election of Democrat, with that lavishly bestowed by spirited “Repub licans,” the difference would all be in my eye Bettie Mar tin. But this private correspondent, like the drowning man, has caught the straw, and although the promise of support is as false in the one as the other ; he is welcome to the hold that stays him up. GOBBLER’S HILL. [From the Washington Union.] The Policy of the Administration—Mr Guthrie’s Letter. The annexed letters will be read with inter est, as bearing intelligibly upon the policy and position of the administration in regard to the distribution of the public patronage. Washington, Oct. 8, 1853. To the Editor of the Union : It seems the public have obtained, through the press, an imperfect statement of the contents of my letter to Collector Bronson and the other custom-house officers at New York ; and as the subject is a public one, l place in your hands a copy of the letter, which you are at liberty to make public. James Guthrie. Washington, Oct. 3, 1853. Dear Sir : Since the conversation we had up on the subject of the unfortunate division in the democratic party in New York, I feel more and more convinced that the present disorganization cannot fail to endanger the success of the prin ciples of the party there, and to prove injurious elsewhere. But the separation is effected. A conviction has forced itself on my mind that, by democrats pledged to each other upon a common platform of principles, the division could and ought to have been prevented. You are aware that the principles of the Bal timore Convention and the policy intimated in the inaugural address, the President and his constitutional advisers stand pledged before the world, ihey have been and are united as one man upon those principles and that policy, and had reason to believe that all gentlemen who consented to accept office under the administra tion stood pledged to the same principles and policy. As the President understands the principles avowed as the platform of the party at Balti more, all democrats who joined in upholding and carrying out the same were entitled to be recognised as worthy of the confidence of the united party, and consequently eligible to official station. That all could not obtain office was manifest; and that the distribution could not be exactly equal among the different sections of the party, was equally certain. Yet the distri bution was intended to be so made as to give just cause of complaint to no one section ; and it is believed that this intention has been carried out, not only by the President himself, but by most of his appointees in respect to the offices under the latter. It has so happened that your appointments have been very generally made from that portion of the party to which you now adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union and harmony. That desirable object has failed to be attained; and the other portion of the party feel that they have not been fully recognized by you, and, as things now stand, may not do justice to your motives. I call your attention to this subject, and to the fact that the President and his cabinet, with entire unanimity, recognize that portion of the partion as democrats distinctly avowing am] firmly maintaining the principles ofthe°Balti. more platform, and entitled to be recognised by appointments to official stations in your depart ment. Allow me to express the expectation that you will so recognise them in the only way that will carry conviction with it. I have not hitherto deemed it necessary to make any particular inquiry with regard to” the section of the democratic party to which persons nominated for positions in the custom house at New Fork belonged prior to the re-union of the party in 1849, which re union was supposed to itiave been thoroughly cemented in the great and triumphant contest in 1852. But, as the pres ent excited state of feeling among political friends who acted together in 1852, and who now stand unequivocally upon the same plat form of principles in New York, is suggestive of a discrimination of which the administration will not approve, I shall send a copy of this letter to the naval officer and the surveyor of the port, in order that there may be no misapprehension as to the policy which the President will require to be pursued. I am, very respectfully, Jamks Guthrie. G. C. Bronson, Esq., Collector, New York. Cutest Intdltymce. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Canada.
