Upborne by Angels in a world of sorrow
In other’s anguish losing half her own—
So taught by grief that darkened souls might borrow
Their light of sunshine from her lips alone.
Herself a seraph, whose unfolding pinions,
And upward glance, betray her heavenly birth ;
Yet ling’ring still right ’mid the dull world’s minions
To win some wand’rer from the ills of earth.
Oh, fair in form, and lily-pure in spirit !
Heaven-watched, yet humble in thine upward way!
Oh, such as thou, are they who shall inherit
The strength and triumph of a better day.

I JLOVE THEE.
_ t
I love thee, dearly love thee,
As the floweret loves the dew,
As the moonbeams love the.billow
Swelling beautiful and blue.
As the rainbow loves the cloudlet
That lies slumbering in the air—
O, yes, I love thy sunny brow,
Forever bright and fair.
In sunshine and in darkness,
In sorrow and : n care —
In festive hall or silent grove—
I love thee everywhere.
’Mid thorns or fragrant flowers,
In sadness or in glee,
Thy pure unsullied countenance
Is ever blight to me.
I love thee, wildly love thee,
And I would this sentence brief
Were written with the crystal dew
Upon each tender leaf,
I would that it were murmured
By the laughing meadow streams--
That it might dwell in all thy thoughts,
And all thy glowing dreams.
I would that every happy bird
On every bush and tree
Would sing it to thee softly,
Yet with warble wild and free.
I would that every zephyr
That comes from o’er the lea
Would bear upon its bosom
Those burning word’s to thee.

The Passage of the Dardanelles by the French and
British Steamers.
That this measure was not dictated by any
change in the immediate relations of Russia with
the Western Powers, and that it originated in
the representations addressed to their Ambassa
dors at Constantinople by the Turkish Govern
ment, is what our readers have already learned;
but it is not improbable that negotiations may
be quickened as well as facilitated by the pro
ceeding, and there will certainly be no inclina
tion in this country to quarrel with so desirable
a result. The case thus created derives its im
portance from the following transactions and
considerations:
It had been a ruling maxim—first of Turkish,
and, afterwards, of European policy, that the
Dardanelles should be closed to foreign ships of
war. In the first expedition of Mehemet Ali
against his nominal sovereign, Russia had ex
erted herself with extraordinary ofiiciousness to
send succors to the Sultan in his trouble ; and,
though much of this sympathy was superfluous,
and all of it suspected, the Czar founded such
claims upon his services, that, at the conclusion
of the affair, a special treaty was negotiated be
tween Russia and the Porte, at the dictation of
the former Power, to be valid for eight years.
This was the treaty known as that of Unkiar
Skelessi, and it provided that, in consideration
of past emergencies and prospective need, there
should be a defensive alliance between the two
contracting parties. By virtue of this alliance,
Russia was to guarantee the Porte against the
dangers apprehended from Egypt, and the Porte,
in return was to exempt Russia from regulations
which closed the Dardanelles to all other Powers.
A few years afterwards, Egypt was in rebel
lion again, but the task of intervention was as
sumed by the European Governments in com
mon ; for a time, to the exclusion of France,
which was thought to incline too much to the
interests of the Pasha, but ultimately, by genet*- !
al consent and co-operation. Accordingly, in j
1841, arrangements’were effected for the second I
time between Mehemet Ali and his sovereign, j
and the position of the Porte towards Egypt
and towards Europe was defined anew. By the
treaty then concluded, the privileges of Russia
disappeared, and the Dardanelles were again
closed to foreign flags of war of all nations alike.
Ibis is the treaty of 1841, the instrument now
in force and action. Its stipulations provided
tnat the Suitan should admit no foreign ships of j
war. info the Dardanelles, so. long as the Otto- i
man Porte should be at peace.
We, of course,need not stop to remark that j
when a foreign army crossed the Turkish fron
tier, tor the avowed purpose of coercing the
Turkish Government, a state of peace was ex
changed for a state of war, and the Sultan be
came at liberty to open the Dardanelles, to such
vessels as he thought proper to invite. On the
part of the Turks, the closing of the Darda
nelles was, of course, a rule of common pru
dence ; for here,in fact, first fortifications
ot Constantinople. But on the part of Europe,
trie principle was founded on jealousy alone.—
\Y hen the work of decay could be forwarded the
Ottoman empire was “maintained in its integri
ty by depriving it of a valuable province ; when
it required to be leit undisturbed in its decline.
Mehemet Ali, its intended regenerator, was
turned back upon his heels. Fho G reeks were
allowed to rebel; the Egyptians were not.
This is European policy in the East—a policy,
be it observed, which Russia can aUvavs inti
mate and determine; for, by deciding upon in
terference herself, she can always bring the
other powers into the field of action in quest of
their private perquisite. The closing of the
Dardanelles against foreigners, by common con
sent, simply means that all the States of Europe
wish to debar every State in particular from
getting any unfair advantage in the matter of
the “Ottoman Empire/’
W e sincerely trust that Egrope will not be
plunged into war, alter the blessings of forty
year’s peace, on this particular development of
this interminable question; but we have our
duties, and must discharge them. Russia must
be controlled in her encroachments —of that ne
cessity no European statesman entertains a
doubt; but, as negotiation has hitherto been
effectual, we hope the same result may be ex
perienced once more. It is from this point of
view that we regard the entrance of British and
French vessels into the Dardanelles. The mea
sure itself, though in some sense a counterpoise
to the invasion of the Danubian Principalities, is
in rio respects a counterpart ol that proceeding,
for it has been executed only in compliance
with a desire of the Sultan, after circumstances
had authorized him to exp. c=sit. But, as the
presence of the ships will strengthen the hands
of the Turkish Government, and as it maybe
taken for evidence of earnestness on the part of
the Western Powers, we think it may promote
an early settlement of the question. There can
really belittle reason, as we have already shown,
why the settlement should be delayed. At first
it might not have been clear to what the Czar’s
pretensions tended, or what opinion was to be
formed of their probable effects. At present,
however, it is plainly understood that he claims
such a species of protectorate over the whole
Greek Church in Turkey as would render many
millions of the Sultan’s subjects his spiritual
vassals. If this should actually prove to be his
ultimatum, we can scarcely suppose that France
and England, or indeed any European Cabi
nets, are without some prepared conclusion up
on the question so raised. The British and
French Governments have already declared, in
terms sufficiently plain to be unpalatable at St.
Petersburg, that there is a certain degree cf en
croachment by Russia upon Turkey which they
are not prepared to allow, and, in evidence of
their resolutions on this point, they have des
patched their fleets to the Turkish waters. Are
the requirements in which Russia still persists,
however colored* or disguised, such as bring
them within this category ? This, and this sim
ply, is the question at issue, and the sooner it is
resolved the better.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 26, 1853.
TELEGRAPHIC.
j A dispatch was received from Montgomery yester-
I day afternoon directed to one of the editors of this pa
j per. It conveys the cheering intelligence that there
were no new cases of Yellow Fever.
Growth and Business of Savannah.
The prosperity of our seaport is a matter of pride,
not alone, to our Savannah neighbors, but to every
Georgian. There is no reasen why the Empire State
of the South should not have an emporium that shall
rival the more Northern Atlantic cities, and the pres
ent prosperity of Savannah promises to realize all that
a Georgian’s pride could wish for in that respect.—
Subtract the foreign population which flows into the
Northern Atlantic ports, and we doubt whether any
one of them would indicate a more rapid growth than
Savannah has within the last five years. The Railroad
extensions through South-western and Western Georgia
are all so many feeders to tho business of Savannah.
The connexion which has recently been made between
the seaboard and Columbus by the Muscogee Road is
one of the greatest value to Savannah. Already are
we sending thousands of cotton bags to Savannah which
have heretofore gone to the Gulf, and the trade of this
season is but a drop in the bucket. When the Opelika
road is completed, and the Girard Road is extended to
Union Springs, it is within bounds, to estimate that
Savannah will receive from 75 to JOO thousand addi
tional bales of cotton from this section. In this connex
ion, we are reminded that Savannah has hitherto over
looked the interest which she has in the early comple
tion of this last Road. She can make a subscription of
one or two hundred thousand dollars to this enterprise
without feeling it, and the increased trade which she
would derive from it would speedily reimburse her,
though the entire subscription were lost. Her inters
prise in works of public improvement is upon tbe tongue
of every body, but she has begun in the great work of
building up her trade. These thoughts have been |
suggested by the following remarks which we find in j
the columns of a late number of the Georgian ;
Growth and Business of Savannah. —Never in the
history of any Southern City has a more prosperous
growth been enjoyed than by Savannah at this time.—
Within the year past spacious and tasteful places of busi.
ness and dwellings have been erected in various parts of
the city ; while old buildings have been re*modled, giv
ing them all the convenience and beauty of modern times.
Tho sever -.1 tenements on Bull street, extending from Con
gress to Broughton, are now being vacated, preparatory
to demolition and the erection of the new Hotel. Forty
per cent, on the capital stock of the Company has been
called for. payable on or before this day (the 20th.) The
occupants of the building on the Southwest corner of
Bull and Broughton streets are abc ut vacating, and an
elegant structure of brick, for business purposes, it is
to take the place of the venerable wooden fabric, which
in years gone by was not only an ornament to its neigh
borhood but to the city. What was but two or three
years since known as “the Commons” is now the court
end of town ; stately brick dwellings, “with all the mod
ern improvements,” as the New Yorkers say (for mar
ble mantels, grates, ranges, water and gas are all enjoyed)
occupy the ground. Turn whichever w-ay we will the
most unmistakeable evidences of thrift and general pros
perity greet the view. Our wharves are enlivened by al
most constantly discharging cargoes of merchandize;
wholesale, retail, forwarding, commission and shipping
merchants are full of business ; our mechanics are over
run with work, for which they are promptly and liberally
paid; in a word all departments of industry “stiok out with
fatness,” almost literally proving this a land flowing with
milk and honey, as it truly is a one in which grows the
olive and the pomegranate.
Judging from the past and the indications of the pres
ent, it is not too much to much to believe that our city
in extent and population will more than double within the
next ten years. Let the same liberal foresight be con
tinued which has for the last few years characterized our
people, and we may justly claim one of the most impor
tant, as we now do one of the most prosperous, cities in
the Union.
Eight Persons Poisoned. —On the Bth inst. a man
named Alexander Russell, of Limetown, Washington
county, Pa. who had been insane for some time, put a
quantity of arsenic into a pot of mush which was cook
ing in the house of John Duer, of the same place, and
then swallowed a large dose of the poison himself. Du
er and his family, six in number, eat of the mush, and
were very sick, but recovered with proper remedies.—
Russell suffered for nearly a day, during which he ac
knowledged what he had done, and then died.

The Planter’s Hotel.
This new and promising Hotel, lately opened in our
graced on yesterday by the presence of many
members of the corps editorial, invited by the enter
prising and courteous proprietor, Mr. J. M. Simpson.
The entertainment consisted of a good dinner —a real
first-class dinner, in fact, washed down by good wines
of various kinds -, and it was an occasion rendered more
pleasing from the fact, that it introduced, and welded
together, many members of the press, who, before were
strangers to each other. Although it was well under
stood by all, that no formal character was to be given
to the entainment, the following sentiments were given
or handed in :
By C. A. Peabody, Esq., (of the Soil of the South.)
The Horticulture of the South : A rosy child yet in
its infancy, soon promises clustering curls, and Flora’s
garland wreaths shall bind a matrons, brow, and thou
sands of fair women end stern met), shall worship at her
shrine.
By W. B. Carlisle, (of the Charleston Courier.
The Georgia Fair, individually and collectively : For
beauty, worth and virtue, they may enter the list of
competition against the world.
By W. Maefarlane, (of the Southern Literary Mes-
Richmond , Va.)
The Proprietor of the Planter’s Hotel—whose table
excells even the exterior of his building.
By Jas. Gardner, (of Constutionalist and Repub
lic.)
The Planters’ Hotel: Under its present manage
ment, it worthily bears the name of a House, which in
former times was famous for its good cheer, and was
tlic favorite resort of the intelligent and refined.
By I. K. Whitaker, (of the Southern Eclectic.)
The Press : Give the printer a place where he can
stand, and he will raise the world.
By Col. W. 11. Young, (of the United States Review ,
N. Y.)
The Press: May it so thoroughly press out all local
prejudice and partiality, that the spirit of the North,
South, East and West, shall be so transfused and com
mingled, that the most astute political alehymist shall
fail to analyze and separate the various parts of this
glorious Union.
By T. Lomax, (Columbus Times and Sentinel.)
The Augusta Press ; In hospitality, as enterprise,
are worthy models for their brethren.
Railroad between Savannah and Charleston.—
A movement has been made for a Railroad connexion
1
i between these two cities. We notice in the Charles
! ton papers that a meeting was held in that city on the
! 18th inst., at which the following resolutions were
! adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the rapid expansion of com
mercial intercourse marking the present day, the people
of Charleston have observed with lively interest every
movement for facilitating that intercouse and strength’
ening our connexion with other sections of the tcountry.
Resolved, That wo have observed with peculiar satis
faction the measures now occupying the public attention
for promoting an easy and rapid communication by Rail
Road between the cities of Savannah and Charleston.
Resolved, That the proposition of our friends in the
country for a Convention in this city on the Bth and 9th
of November next to mature this enterprise, meets with
our warmest concurrence and co-operation.
Resolved, That a delegation of thirty-one citizens (the
presiding officer of this meeting to hoof the number) be
appointed by the Chair to represeiit’the people of this
city in the proposed Convention.
Resolved, That the City Council of Charleston be re
quested to invite the public authorities of Savannah to
send Delegates to the Oouv.-nii.Mi.
D"W(j regret to learn from the following paragraph in
a Mobile paper of tbe IBth inst., that the extensive
lumber mills in which our townsman, John Forsyth w r.i
interested, havo been entirely consumed by fire. The
loss wo understand to be $20,000, instead of $15,000,
as stated in the paragraph below, of which SII,OOO only
were insured :
Fire. —Between 2 and 3 o’clock yesterday morning, a
fire broke out in the newly erected Saw Mills of Messrs.
Ogden & Forsyth, on Blakely Island, opposite Congress
street, and speedily consumed the entire buildings—lor their
combustibilities and isolation from all help, rendered them
a mere bonfire. Ilow the fire originated, we have heard no
tangible conjecture. The time gives rise to thoughts of mal
ice ; although in such a situation, with the river dividing it
from the city, it would have proved as easy a prey to the in
cendiary at mid-day.
The premises were estimated at a valuation of 815,000 —
eleven ol which were covered by insurance, there being
five separate efticers having each $2200.
Great Fire in Paris. —The immense establishment
of M. Jourdain-Ribouleau, at Louviers, the largest
cloth manufactory in France, in which about 1,200
workmen were employed, was completely destroyed by
fire on the 2d instant. In less than a quarter of an
hour the whole of the lour buildings, each five stories
high, of which the manufactory was composed, were
one mass of flames. The loss is estimated at 1,500,000
francs. The municipal council has voted a'sum of 100,000
francs to meet the most urgent wants of the workmen
and their families, who amount in number to nearly
3,000.
Ckj” A letter aeceived by the Atlantic, by a com
mercial house in New York from a leading and reliable
commereirl house in London, states that the reported
declaration of war by Turkey against Russia is without
foundation, and was started for speculative purposes.
O’ A distinguished German scholar gives the popu
lation of Turkey in Europe, as being about 15,500,000,
and that of Turkey in Asia, 13,700,000, making a total
of nearly 30,000,000, about half the population of Russia,
and nearly equal to that of France, though vastly less
compact than the last.
O” It is said that James Gordon Bennett, editor of
the New York Herald, has been in this country thirty
years, and was naturalized only three years ago !
A Pleasing Incident, at the Pair. — We un
derstand that on Thursday last, Col. Davidson,
the Chairman cf the Executive Committee, au
thorized Mr. John S. Hutchinson, the auctioneer,
that he would give a Silver Cup to the best
looking Child, of fourteen months, of native
growth, exhibited on Friday. Well, Friday
came, and the auctioneer mounted his rostrum,
and announced that he was ready to receive com
petitors. A young daughter of Mr. Robert
Glover, one of the Course, was placed in his
arms, who with youthful simplicity, after a little
fondling, became friendly, and placing hertiney
arms around his neck, not only captivated him
(for hear in mind reader that he has none of the
same sort himself,) hut all present, both male
and female: After crying (no not crying, but
asking) if there was any more competitors on
the ground, the little one still clinging affection
ately to him, he announced that she had taken
the premium, and presenting it to her while in
his arms, it seemed ns much delighted with its
now present as any one on the ground. We
did not see the scene, but the auctioneer assures
us he will have nq objections to its repetition,
provided he has one of the same sort to exhibit
himself, at the next Fair,— Augusta Constitution

[From the Constitutionalist & Republic.J
Agricultural Fair Grounds.
We visited the'place yesterday where so many
anxious hearts palpitated with delight and fear,
during the last few days. The excitement is
over and the products of the toil, of months and
weeks, and days, of female hands, and of the
sinewy arms of men, are now taken off to their
respective owners homes. We have passed
many pleasant hours during the Fair, in notic
ing the matchless handiwork of contributors,
Some persons may complain, that the arrange
ments of commodities were not so good as they
might have been—allow that it is so—hut let
them reflect, that this is the first Fair in Augus
ta, and that
“Whoever thinks a faultless thing to see,
Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor ne’er will be.”
The situation for the Fair was happily locat
ed, and the arrangements to exhibit every arti
cle, were well conceived and carried out; hut
contributors delayed to send their articles to
such a late hour, and then such an accumulated
quantity was forced upon the directors of the
grounds, that it is almost a wonder that articles
were exhibited even so favorable as they were.
Cattle and Hogs; Shaughi Chickens and fancy
embroidery ; cotton hales and Canary Birds;
sweet potatoes and Silk Patch Work Quilts,
came in at the same moment, and every person
presumed that their contributions could be re
ceived and properly placed away, as fast as
wagons, drays, or carts could bring them to the
ground. They were mistaken, and some little
want of proper arrangement followed as a con
sequence.
It is said that the citizens of Augusta and
Richmond county did not contribute sufficient
ly from the “Loom, the Plow and the Anvil”—
that the number of their contributors was small.
Those who think so, have either taken the opin
ions of others for facts, or they have not closely
examined for themselves. A large portion of
the Ladies Department was supplied from this
city and county —the Mechanical, the Floral
and other departments hear testimony to the
number and value of our contributions. While
we thus speak of home, let us not be under
stood as endeavoring to undervalue the contri
butions from abroad. Other portions of the
State, and other States sent us not only gems to
decorate the Fair, hut most substantial commo
dities, that we shall ever feel proud to acknowl
edge. It has been a gala week in our city, and
all things taken into consideration, the Fair has
given general satisfaction to the numerous visi
tors and competitors for premiums. We hope to
be able to give a list of premiums awarded early
next week.
Tiie Model or Miniature House.— One,
among the many attractions of the Fair, was
the model or miniature House, thoroughly fra
med, built by James and Edward McDonald,
apprentices to Mr. Wm. H. Goodrich, ot this
city. The House was framed and two stories
high, had four chimneys and eight fire places 8
rooms, 26 windows, 26 pairs of window sash,
and 200 panes of small window glass. There
were 15 panel doors, a front porch and back
piazza, with hexagon columns. The house has
a hip roof, and stands upon twenty imitation
brick pillars. In a passage, on the first floor, a
cylinder and twisting hand rail stair case con
ducts to the upstairs ol the second story. All of
the interior of the house is complete, with man
tle pieces, fire places, transom lights, &c., &c.
This House was built by candle light, by these
two apprentices, who have not been two years
at the carpenter’s trade. While it is a compli
ment to Mr. Goodrich, it evidences mechanical
taste and industry, of the highest and most pro
mising order on the part of the two brothers.
The praises bestowed upon this building,by the
visitors to the Fair, must have been more grati
fying than donations of gold or silver goblets.
Beatiful Fly Brushes.— Mr. James Godhy,
of this city, exhibited at the Fair, which we
omitted to notice, two fine Fly Brushes. One
of them was gorgeously decorated and excuted
with consumate taste and beauty. The other
was very beautiful. Mr. Godby is a master
hand in the production of such articles.
Deposition of Bishop Ives.
On Saturday, the 15th, being the ninth day
of the session of the Triennial Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States in the city of New York, formal sen
tence of deposition was pronounoede on Bish
op Ives. Tiie following are the special proceed
ings and sentence of the case, viz:
Rev. Dr, Bach, Secretary to the House of
Bishops, announced that the presiding Bishop
was prepared to pronounce sentence of depo
sition upon Levi Silliman Ives, D. D., late
Bishop of North Carolina, and that the House
of Bishops would attend as a House for that
purpose in the Church of St. John’s.
The President, Rev. Dr. Creighton, left the
Chair to receive the House of Bishops, who en
tered in seniority, and took their places in the
Chancel, the House of Clerical and lay Delegates
rising.
Rt. Rev, Bishop Meade offered up the Lord’s
Prayer and other petitions selected from the
Book of Common Prayer, appropriate to the I
occasion.
Rt. Rev. Thos. Church Brownell, presiding
Bishop, then pronounced the sentence of depo
sition as follows:
Whareas, Levi Silliman Ives, D. D. Bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Uni
ted States, in the Diocese of North Caro
lina—in a communication under his proper hand,
bearing date, “Rome, Dec- 22, 1852”—avowed
his purpose to resign his “office as Bishop of
North Carolina,” and further declared that he
was “determined to make his submission to the
Catholic [meaning the Roman] Church.”
And Whereas, There is before the Bishops
ol the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Uni
ted States, acting under the provisions of Can
non I. of 1853, satisfactory evidence that the
said Levi Silliman Ives, D. D., has publicly re
nounced the communion of this Church, and
made his submission to the Bishop of Rome, as
Universal Bishop of the Church of God, and
V icar of Christ upon Earth, thus acknowledg
iug these impious pretensions of that Bishop,
thereby violating the vows solemnly made by
hnn, the said Levi Silliman Ives, D. D. at his
consecration as a Bishop to the Church of God,
abandoning that portion of the flock of Christ
committed to his oversight, and binding himself
under anathema to the anti-Christian doctrines
and practises imposed by the Council of Trent
upon all the Churches of the Roman obe
dience:
Be .it therefore known that on the 14th da v
of October, in the year of our Lord, 1853 1
Thos. Church Brownell, D. D., L.L D., by di
vine permission Bishop Diocese of Connecticut
and presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episco
