[FOB THE TIMES AMD SEMTIMBC-J TO MBS. C****~. 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. October, 1553. T. H. 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. [From the London Times, of the 9th ult.l 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. I eimts .ant) SmtimL 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. [ From the Constitutionalist. ] 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 alist 23 d inst. [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 pal Churchin the United States, with the con sent of a majority of the members of the House of Bishops as herein after enumerated, to wit: [Here the sentence gives the names and titles of the following Bishops, according to seniori ty ; Meade, of Va. ; Hopkins, of Vt.; Smith, of Ky.; Mcllvane, of Ohio ; Doane, of N.

In the name of the father, and of the Sonant of the Holy Ghost—Amen. Thos. Church Brownell, D.D., L.L.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut, etc. At the conclusion of the sentence, the House of Bishops retired, and the House of Clericai and Lay Delegates adjourned.
