ISIIi;II,MtK\T I'liEsS' Without t-Ynr, Flavor or Affection.” EATONTON, GA. •SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 12,1854. What shall we do ? Huypy is that man. who.-never, doubts but that his o.vpi mm uis,arcs-dvvays tho .correct ones. — Thrice, blewsed is he who can always asseverate that ‘wr party is right.” Oh 5 for a return of the tunc when we childswear to the infallibility of Do morruey with the same holy steal which induces the papist toSiC'Ticve that the pope cannot err. Oh! for a return of the halcyon days of t 844, when, tho’a boy, ami unable to vote, we wore able to loSk with a feeling akin to pity upon that man who enquired, ,“\\ ho is J.eius iv. Polk,” and who doubted that this statesman vats indeed none other i than a political Messiah. Blessed time when in ! tsts we cast our maiden vote for General Cass, and believed bur party as pure and holy as were the crusaders when they marched through blood •unit carnage-to wrest the sacred city from the do minion of the Saraapn. Such have been our thoughts for the last lew y'ars, in wjjieh we have been most earnestly en deavoring to anchor our political faith in some har bor where the storms could not blow and uulastba i us front our moorings. In 1849-50*51. after hav- ; Jrtsf been tossed upon the boisterous sea of partisan strife, we thought we had found a place where we j „• mid rest our faintness in the lap of the Union i ;.. ; rtr. The concern was called a Union hotel by i ■ •ur opponents, but wo did'not catv f«r that. .So j long as wo had good fare, nice clean beds to sleep j iH>on. and our pillows cushioned with the down of faith in the patriotism mid honesty of our party, •we were satisfied to live even in a tavern, or to j dwell in the tents of the Constitutional Union j party. bat about ihe time we began to feel like we were i fit home in the Union Party, the winds blew and j floods came, and the rains descended and boat ! up va that h fuse, and it tumbled down, and great j was the fall thereof. The concern, after having a j great run of custom for several years, burs tod up. | 1: had paid very good dividends, and had benefit j. J th>' country. But the board of directors dis- j fererl among themselves, and the partnership was I dissolved. (litr much esteemed friend Robert j Tootubs has all the available assets of the Union 1 1, to! in his hands, and. for aught wo know, in t 'ticls to op m another concern to be called tlie Re- j publican party, though the Free Boilers of Massa- j ckusetts have already gotton up a Republican af- ! fair themselves. But wc hope Mr. Toombs will j not do so. however. Well, after the Union party was scattered to the I four winds of heaven, and the Southern Rights par ty acquiesced in our platform, and took a snug seat j upon the same, acting again in unison with the j national Democracy, calling on their union broth- 1 ren to aid them in the election of Pierce, we were ! glad to believe that the good old days of Democ- j racy had returned again. The Democratic party ! bad been divided, and tern into sell’sms and sac- j tions. and was sick, as it appeared, even unto j death. But as old brother S. said by Judge C., j the party wasn't Sick enough yet. It must play ; s--me more such fantastic tricks in the sight of high j h avi nas we re well c alculated to make the angels • v-.-p. A Union Pierce ticket, and a Southern j Tkakts Pierce ticket were put before the people. ; Our sclf-rciSpeet as Governor Cobb said, would not | allow us to yote for Pierce through the medium of j st, ticket upon which our wing of the party was not j r....regent.*dr This was taxation without rcprts.-n- 1 ; led and died some time ago. Arid it was too late ; at this it age to bring us to the support of any such ; principle. One wing of the Democracy, then, voted j • way, and another, onotli -r. The party contin idivided, and we felt more like we belonged to a j taction than to a party. But by and by a Governor had to bo elected- Govern r Johnson, a Southern Eights Democrat was p-it on the course, and Union Democrats help ed to run him through, with the implied, if not ex press, understanding that if Johnson succeeded, Howell Cobb was to bo made Senator. From the cordiality with which the two wings of the De rm -racy worked together, we were fully of the opinion that the party was once more a unit.— Well so it was—in the sense in which Pierce's cabinet is a unit. That is they were a unit agree ing to disagree. For although Union Democrats carried out their part of the contract and elected Johnson governor, brother Colquitt and other brethren went to Milledgovillo and had Howell Cobb hung on the gibbet of defeat, and said the hemp was sown with which to liang all other Un ion Democrats. Wo would be pleased to hear from brother Colquitt how his crop of hemp has stood the drought this summer. We wore deeply chagrined at the defeat of Cobb, and again found that all our hopes of union and harmony, had, like riches, taken to themselves wings and flown away. We were taunted by our Republican Whig brethren who said like Job’s horse “ha, ha!” or like the old woman when h-.-r old man told her that the cow had eaten up the ..•rind-stone, “We told you so!” We had to grin and endure it, and at the. same time console our tadves shat, we union ’ Democrats were martyrs to principle, and had offered up our pious selves on the ■altar of our country. What must we do? Wo had seen our leader hang, arid, heard that a crop of hemp had been sown for the purpose of dtslocatiugbur own cervical vertebrae. What were'we to do? Aye that was the question. What wore weKo do? Btiel> to our principles, and tlfe "corpse of our murdered fader. We were to be allowed the glorious priv ilege of inning martyrs for our country. 1 Hike et decorum eat mo patria mori. We resolved to do it. Howell Cpbb was sgcri fieed, but we hoped bis corpse would bo eriiOgUned in the sprees and fluids 0(1 principle, so that if two thousand rears hence Ids body should be taken by "'.ct unborn generations and examined as we now .do an Egyptian mummy, they would find it still sound and uneorrupted, in principle, •In thef meantime Pierce had sided with the Softs against the Hards. We, in our humble sphere, took the part" of the Hards. And we thought Cobb did 100. This was the principle which we thought still clung to his remains. And al though we .had no party, wo still had our jiriaciplef, anti'though not easy, were m easy ns we could bo. We looked forward to the good times a coming for the finally faithfuh but about this time Cobb made the speech in which he is said to have sided with the. Softs, and then We looked abroad, and being disappointed m onrlhvorite poli tician said, there is none good, nb hot one. But notwithstanding this,we still clung to the jlards in New York with some degree of hope and eon solution. Wo laudcddhem hr the skies, and de lendod them against the attacks of their Demo cratic brethren, South. And when it was prema turely announced that their representation in Con gress had ’all voted for the Nebraska bill, wo pre maturely wont into a glorification on she subject, and hallooed before wo laid gotten out of the woods. But the truth came out that Peck, Peck-, ham, Maurice, Wheeler and Oliver had all voted against the .Nfybraska bill, and were sorely inveigh ing against the President for his devotion to the slave power. We the) like Brother Smytijo .felt once when lie praised the porfynpance of and oertain show whieb never cyme off,' We were then very i ~~ ' ! silent about Ihe Thirds’ until their recent conven f ion and the letter of Brofison when wo picked tip courage to oefond them again. And now, just about' ihrs,titue, come rumors that the Hards and Softs me about to come , together for tho sake of j the spoil.'.-! * ) Mow what shall an honest men do when men j and parties change about so? Wo would like to have the opinions of the Recorder and Federal Union |on this head. Men and brethren, what shall wo | do ? Mr. Calhoun and the Minister. Mr. Scovll, (lie private Secretary of Mr. Calhoun, has recently published an account of this great man’s last moments. A Mr. Butler, an Episcopal minister and chaplain of the Senate, and a young man, called to see Mr. Calhoun, when upon his death-bed, in order to converso with tho dying Senator upon the subject of religion. The follow ing extract from Mr. Sunil's account tells what took place. Mr. Calhoun enquired of his Secretary who a certain visitor was, who had called at tho I door; “Who is it?” he asked, j ".Mr. Butler, sir.” "Why do you not bring him at once? It is his right as my colleague.” “It is not Senator Butler, sir.” •■Butler? 1 don’t know any other—who is lie?” "It is the chaplain of the Senate, sir, the Rev. Mr. Butler,” "What does he w ant?” "lie says lie has heard you are very low, and considers it lii.s duty to come and talk to you about serious matters.” “Send him off about his business. To come to talk to mo, nonsense, and at such a time as this!” "I went to the door, and informed the chaplain that Mr. ('., was too ill to see him.” "1 on certainly must be mistaken. Does he know me?” T cut the matter short, with a decided “Yes, sir lie does; and he says he don't want to see you. and 1 won't disturb him by going in again with your name!” The Rev. Mr. Butler left and when I retimed to the room, tlie impudence of the call wa-j still in his mind. Ilis eyes were closed, but I heard broken sentences such as “To call on my for such a pur pose!'’ "Young man not half-grown!” “Subject that I have thought of all my lift. ! Uow we have no disposition to attach blame to tho Rev. Mr. Butler for what he did, as wo have no doubt he acted ftvnnUie purest motives,and according to the generally received opinion that it is a minis ter s duty always to converse with a dying man with releronce to his expectations beyond the grave. Me blame no one for holding to this opinion. But wo humbly conceive that there lies in it an error. Air. Calkouu said it was nonsense for Mr. Butler | to come to talk to him upon such an oceasion, and j said in accents broken by indignation and the death i struggle, “To call on me for such a purpose!” “Young man not half-grown!” “Subject that I I have thought of all my life!” U'c have no idea that Mr. Butler intended to bo | presumptuous or impertinent. But lie certainly was ! both, and so the man thought who, all-but immor ' tal here, was just putting off what of mortality i there was about him, and beginning to view things I with an eye partially lit by rays from the throne of ; God. Mr. Calhoun, as he said, had been thinking | upon the subject of his connection with tilings ! unseen all his life. And what thinking man does ; not-turn his thoughts to. this subject? He had sub j mitted the evidences of Christianity to tho analysis iof his powerful and discriminating mind. And we ! have read that he was a most potent defender of the system of Jesus of Xazareth. It was presump tuous, then, for anyone, and particularly a young man, to go uninvited to his death-bed, to converse i with him upon the subject of religion. But Mr. Calhoun aside, it always seemed j to us to be unnecessary, if not improper, to intro duce the subject of religion, of heaven and of hell— for even if nothing is said about tho latter, the idea of heaven will suggest its opposite—to a person about to die, especially when such conversation is indulged in, us makes its object appear to be to j frighten the dying man into a death-bed repentance. It strikes us that in the solemn hour of dissolution, frail mortality should bo left in the hands, and to tlie mercy, of its Maker. No conversation should be indulged in by a minister or other person that i can add a pang to the bosom of the dying man, or of those who stand around las bed-side. If fill ins life has been passed and no provision has been made by himself or by liis God for his future be yond the tomb, it is too late to have tlie work be gun in the death agony. If tho dying man wish to converse upon the subject of religion himself) let him do so. If not, smoothedown his pillow as he dies, and leave him to the care of the God who made him. The minister by going to liis bed-side cannot save him, nor will all the conversation there indulged in wrest him from, or give him to, the des tiny which his Creator lias in store for him. The Southern Eclectic & Home Gazette. We have received the first and second numbers of the above journal, and publish its prospectus un der the head of new advertisements. The Elec tic J; Gazette starts under more favorable auspices than any literary paper which has yet been estab lished at the South. It has upon its list 5000 sub scribers. Those, then, who have heretofore failed to support Southern literary journals on account of the frail tenure which they held upon exis tence, need not four on that ground to sub scribe for tho Eclectic Gazette. This journal may be considered established. It is a large quarto of 16 pages, printed on good paper with neat type. And when some improvements are made, now con templated by the editor, its body will not be sur. . passed by that of any other paper in the Union. Then as to Its soul—or. to drop metaphor, its con tents—its advantages are great. It will havo tho whole range of British literature—the solidity of the quarterlies, and sparkling tales and gossip of the magazines, ah'! the piquancy of the weeklies to select from. The good taste of its editor is a guarantee for the excellence of his selections. It was a good idea, that of 1 deriding The Eclectic and The Gazette. In the Elcctic department we can g'et good tales and good essays, and they will conic of* toner than in a monthly publication, and in the origin al department we can go t editorials upon Southern in terests, and & weekly summary of news, gossip and pftfagvdplis. Mio Smytho has before him a fine field, almost entirely unoccupied, and we have no doubt will cull from it many choice bouquets with which to gratify the tastes of his readers. Os the superiority of The Eclectic & Gazette , con ducted properly, over Northern journals there can be no doubt. Thoro is a peculiar style in all the productions of the Northern magazines and journ als, which, exclusive of a current vein of fanat icism in all its panoramic aspects, is little to tlio taste of Southern readers. This style is what may be termed thq Yankeefied style, it is full of guesses, aud had orters, and considihles and a nasal twang front puritanical probosces, perceptible even on tho printed page, running tltrough a muss of frivolity, frippery, impertinence and narrowness.— It is all gewgawish, with nothing of heart, and little of head. It bears the same relation in its charac ter to Southern literary productions tlmt tho Scotch man does in his daily walk of lift) to the English man., Suohisnot tho case with British periodical literature, and such will not bo the case with tho original productions of the Eclectic & Gazette. The people of the South, and of Georgia especial ly are beginning to call for something more within their borders than more partisan shoots, filled with vulgar 1 abuse and low personalities. Wo nay it with shame for ouy section aud our Stato, that un til within a very recent period no other than one of the above-described jodmals could be tolerated by our people. To offer them a literary or independent gazette was lik e giving meat to babes, But things urc changing! Our people are beginning to think for tuefnselves, and their tastes are becoming E-i ■ enough refined to demand something like tho cul tivation of pure literature. They ore growing tired oi l he; slavery which yoked them to mere partisan prints, themselves bowing their necks in tho wake ol some poor, pitiful, vile, scurvy, low-down poli tician. A few years ago, and such a thing as a lit erary or independent journal was not known in Georgia. Now wo havo in literature tho journal which heads this nrtielo, and as independent prints we have the Georgia Citizen, the .Corner Stone, the Journal <1- Courier, tlie Daily News, and tho Inde pendent Pi'ess, all doing well, and increasing in the fatness of prosperity. Bartizan sheets aro becom ing a bore, and even tho little papers springing up in \ arious parts of tho State, devoted to fun and jokes, are becoming more popular than the storeo t\ ped laudators or contemners of l’ioree and his cabinet—those journals tho centre of whose orbit is a slake driven in tlie ground with Fierce, or op position written upon it, and whose centripetal force is a chain and a collar. Iho year ISa-A may ho termed tho year of now newspapers in Georgia. They are springing up like mushrooms all over the State. Some of them, wo know, will be wilted in tho rays of tho sun of fu.il ure—perhaps many of them. But their springing up indicates a restlessness on the part of t\- 0 peoplo foi anew order of reading. It is 'an auspicious omen, and augurs well for the future literature of this .State. 1 here is a spirit of enquiry and fnmlom of thought abroad hi the Stake of Georgia which wo do not recollect to have witnessed before. Young America is growing rampant. Old fogies must look out, and not bo unmindful of the spirit of tho age. The Schoolfellow. In tho absenco of any juvenile publication at iho South, wo recommend the above, published by Evans & Dickerson, Booksellers and Publishers, GOT Broadway, New York, and by J. J. & S. P Richards, Booksellers, Macon, Ga. It is edited by Wm. C. Richards well known in Georgia and the South as a friend of our people and their interests.

Sickles to Van Buren. 2 Langiiam Place, ) Portland Place, July 11, 1851. ) My dear Mr. Fudge, alias Air.

Sickles. Van Boren's Reply. Queen’s Hotel, Cork Street, July 12, 1854. Dear Daniel —Do you think I’d shoot A gentleman of your repute ? Confound it, no ! I'd rather go, And drink a glass of wine or so. Now as to words in Tam’ny Ilall, They mean just this—nothing at all. They’re said to make tho fellows shout, And laugh, and stamp when I’m about. Plague take your niggers and free-soil, Your Hards and Softs and their turmoil : I do not care a single groat About these fellows, so I float. 1 take back every word I said As quoted from that kinky-licad.

By the Star of the West we have received interesting intelligence from St, J nan and Kingston, Jamaica, regard ing the destruction of the former, and the measures that have been resorted to by the representatives of Great Britain as to the affair. The accounts concerning the positions assumed by the commanders of the British vessels at San Juan are contradictory ; but it .it is certain from the proclamations that have been promulgated on the departure of the American vessel of war that one of those officers at least put the town un der martial law, and moreover took upon himself the task of inflicting pun ishment upon criminals of a certain class. These facts go to show tlie character of tlie British interference.— At Kingston, the rendezvous of the British West India squadron, the great est excitement prevailed on the receipt of the news of the burning of San Juan, and all sorts of rumors were put in circulation as to the retaliatory mea sures that should be adopted.
