ORIGINAL POETRY. FOR TUE ADVERTISER. STANZIS, The spring-time is upon us now, All nature's smiles proclaim her birth A myriad flowrets form the bow Which promises a teeming earth. Around the maidens radiant brow The hawthorn-like a snow wreath gleams Lilies and roses mingling, show, In her fair face, their purest beams. The woodbino strews a coral shower Along the path her footsteps press, From violet beds and jasmine bwer Sweet odours meet in glad caress. -Mid forest arches broad and green A glorious diapason swells Sweet symphonies, from choirs unseerr, Steal from the brake where mock bird dwells. Now high in air: now glaneing low, The feathered throng, all wild with joy, On all alike their songs bestow On Lord of state or farmers boy. Whilst magnet-like earth'' hidden store Attraets the plough-shares strength again, Deep from the soil it tunas the ore,, In sheaves of richest golden grain. The skies have donned a brighter blue, The rivulet its spray throws high, And in its depths reflects the line Of nature's freshest, loveliest dye, With sacred trust and holy fear The day-spring from on high well greet, And from this bridal of the year Bow meekly at the Giver's feet, RosE CorrAGr_ From the- Charleston Mercury. Rabun Gap. MESSRS. EDITORS. I perceive by the report or Col. BztovK. Engineer on the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, that he makes the distance from Chatanooga to Charleston, via the Rabun Gap, 484 miles, and via Atlanta and Augusta, 418 miles, niaking the Augusta, route shorter by 36 miles than the Rabun Gap. The Engineer makes this report upon the basis of running as the Road now runs from Anderson C. H. to Columbia. But let us suppose the road were run from Aiken to Cambridge, or to ANDEnSON'S Mills (at pre sent Dysos's.) Then from Charleston to Ai ken is 120 miles. and from Aiken to Cam bridge, by or near Lor's, is 43 miles, making in all 163 miles; whereas from Charleston to Columbia is 130 miles, and from thence to Cambridge is 71 miles by the present road which.makes 201 miles in all, a difference of 38 miles-so that the difference between the route to Chattanooga from Charleston, via Augusta, may be overcome by running a road from Aiken to join the road at Cambridge, and thence to Anderson C. H. And the Rabun Gap. Now, 1 Yenture the assertion that there is iopart of the State where a road of the same' ditance can be run cheaper than from Aike'n to Caimbridge;' or to Drsos Millsf on the GreenvilliRoad. From Aiken te a paint about one mile West of LOTT's there is but one hill of the least notice-this on the ridge that divi~ m..a'waters of Saluda from savannah, there is almost a level grade to within two miles- of Cambridge, or to within three miles of Drsos's mills. There is no water to cross until you reach Ninety six er.eek near Cambridge, or Half way i~wamp~inear Dysox's. If yen will examine MnIr.'s Map of the different Districts of the State, you will see the ridge distinc.tly marked' and Lorr's, about 8 miles East of Edgefleld C. H. laid down too. Thi route would avoid Saluda river, or the bridges otv'er Little river, Bush river, and even Broad Jiver, and being besides 38 miles nearer to Charleston. Thus, besides being the safest for all heavy trains, it wvould make the route from' Charleston to Chattanooga two miles nears by the Rabun Gap, than by Augusta. It would avoid crossing Savannah river only liigh'uji, where it would be easy and safe. This would have its corresponding effects upon all points beyond Chattanooga too, and bring Charleston so much nearer to Mem phis and Nashville. It would avoid the hea vy trestle work about Covington, Georgia, the bridge over the Oconec--the competition at Atlanta, in another road-the bridge over the Etown, and all along the Georgia Statte Road, besides the tunnel, wvhich will most certainly give way some day. And it' the gap were filled up by a direct line from a point near Cambridge, or Dyson's Mills, onl the Greenville Road, to Aikcn, it woaki avoid a circuit of 38 miles further; the crossing of Saluda, Little and Bush rivers, besides Broad river; and then the swamp at the Congaree, and all their dangers and expenses. This would give a dry line from Edisto river up~ to Andersou D'strict, or rather up to Rocky river. The route from Aiken to Dysoni's ferry was once surveyed by the Engineers of the Railroad under the direction of Gent. HIMNE, when lie contemplated the direet route to Cincinnati. It was found to be a most beau tifu route, with not the slightest obstruction, except at Shaw's creek about eleven miles above Aiken. In permanently commanding the rich trade of the interior West, it is of the greatest imn portance that distance should be shortened, and also that the route should be suited to heavy transportation without risk or con stant expenses for heavy repairs. If the junction were made from Aiken to Cam. bridge, I hesitate not to say that it would effectually secure, first, independenace to Charleston and all the internal improve meats of our beloved State, and would ine vitably command the trade and travel to Knoxville, Nashv'ille, Memphis and Chata. xnooga, and the rich countries of wvhich they are centres. The Raboun Gap is of the last importance to us as a State. Instead of being secondary to and dependant upon Georgia, it will at once place us boldly along side of her as an independant rival for the commerce of the WVest, together with all its moral social and political power. The mouth of the Ohio is the heart of our continent; towards that point all the longest and largest rivers run. The Missouri from the W~est, near 2000 miles, including the Yellow Stone up to the base of the Rocky Mountains, and then the Mississippi from the far North, the Ohio from the East, the Cum berland and the beautiful Tennessee from the South-all concentrating towards the mouth of the Ohio. A circle there, with radii 150 miles, would embrace the heart of our continent. From Cape Ilateras to Cape Florida, the ocean makes an indenture, or great bay, the centre of wvhich is Charleston, with a fine harbor, nearer to this heart thnan any other point on the coast. Nature intend ed it to be the outlet to the world of tis vast interior. Of course New Orleans, in many points of view, for heavy articles, is equal ini position-but then New Orleanis has the dificult and dangerous navigation of the West India islands, and Cape Florida, to encounter,where insurance is high, and where you must lie out of a return cargo from four to six weeks longer than by a direct route free of insurance, to the interior West. The Tennessee River seems to sweep round in its great band towards the Atlantic. as if to invite the junction at a more convenient point than New Orleans. -This Rabun Gap enables us to pass the Mountain range at its lowest depression, and below the freezing region, so as to give a constant open com munication. It gives the interior West a direct outlet for its surplus breadttuffs, for the market of Enrope. with a redundant population, and enables them to bring back, in the safest and quietest manner, precisely those things needed from Europe. A com inunication through the whole length of South Carolina, independent of much compe tition in Georgia, and embarrassments from rival interests, hi which we must be con trolled by their Railroads, would make all our investments much more secure, bring about a difirent mode of thinking and acting, and connect us more intimately with all the sympathies of the interior; and finally, iden tify us together in interest. We could thus be prepared to diffuse the full influence of these moral and political principles, which may become necessary in the future conflicts of the Republic, to give us strengthL, and de fend our ultimate independence. This is emphatically a great work for the St tie. The polities of the question have a gre: t and mighty bearing upon it-too coiplica ted and too delicate to be developed fully at present. Charleston has her part to act in it-she must throw off her old habits and antiquated provincialism, and enter with zeal into the new hAbits and spirit-stirring enterprises of the day. She once had her rank anccording to the position assigned her by nature; she once imported more than every city north of the Potomac together. This was before the adoption of the Fed. eral Constitution, and before the final action of the Government was brought to bear di rectly upon our trade. The Treasury order of HAaILToN, by w%'hicl public dues were received in paper of the Bank at Philadelphia, the Bank of North America, although only part notes at the time, w::s the first blow struck at the iniportations of Charleston and the South. There was then no bank South at all, and of course it wrs cheaper to pay duties in credit paper thai coin. Then the navigation laws, and the treaty with Great Britain regulating trade with the West Indies -toethier with the Inmber duties, trans. ferred all trade from Norfolk and Charles. ton to New York and the North. But for the navigation laws. the tari:Th, the banking system .-nd credit. which the Fed eral Government built up at the North, Charleston would at this day be the depot for the WcsL India trade on one side, and tihe trade of the interior West and Northwest on the other. A new day iny yet beaim upon her-ener. gy, enterprise and indeponidence may do much for her. Instead if her looking to New York and coast steamers, let her look to direct steamers to Europe, cutting the At lantic ocean below the icehurg region. Let her form her connections direct with Europe id the West Indies on one side, and with the heart of the American Continent on the other, byv direct Railroad lines of her own, independant of any other rival State interest. Such rivalry in trade will add to thie pros npritv of till. and isnentiahl toouniduiu., dence, and the permanet stability of our pre sent investmetnts in ititernal improvements, as~ well as most other st ocks. SOUTII CAROLINA. BLOoDY AFFICAY IN KENTUCKY-SEvER AL P~asoxs KILLED.-The Louisville Courier gives an account of a bloody affray which occurred near Lancaster, Ky. on the 13th inst. between Russel, Is:diah' and Frederick IHill, and two or three of their sons, on one side and a party who had fortified thiemselves in a tobacco house on thle other. Not hing is said ais to the origin of the ail~ray, except that as thme Hills arrived opposite the bonse, they were fired on aiid and Russell Ihill killed. The account in the Courier then goes oii to say: "The hIllis then charged upon the house, anid Isaiah Ilill was killed just as he was get ting over the fence. The door oif the house was forced by the remnainuing Ihills, and the fight continued with short arms, atnd bowie? knivea.

TireaE are several advertistments in this num ber to which all would do well to give their at tention. One is of the Great Sale of Negroes, &c.,.to take place at Aiken, on the 27th of this month. We understand that much of this property is very valuable. The others are from A ugusta merchants, to wit: Messrs. L.%r.LXnusTEDT & WIMIEALEY in the Dry Goods line, J. A.

WE have been gratified by the perusal of a very able ani fairly written Tract upon " Episecopacy, ested by Scripture," handed to us by the worthy Clergyman who.has charge, of this portion:of the South Carolina Diocese. Of courseo it is not our .aim to originate anything bordering upon section al controversy. But, at the ruggestion of the donor, we have no objection to state very briefly our opinion upon the matter discussed in the limpllet under consideration. We think it capable of proof that there were officers of the Chtrch, in the days of the Apostles, to whom very diffierent duties were assigned. But as to the absolute necessity of ordination by an Apostle, to render one fitted for the work of the ministry, we cannot fully perceive its inculcation in the scriptuiral passages referring to this subject. We hold that no arrangement of discipline, made by the early preachers of the Gospel, was inspired, or was imposed upon their followers as a necessary and indispensable regulation, to prevail thronghout all ages and changes. For this would he placing the temporal rules of. the Christian Church, as regulated by mere men, upon an equal footing with the moral lessons of that Church as expounded by the Son of God himself. -it occurs to us, that from the whole tenor of the Gospels it may be gathered, that the breathing of the Holy Spirit, upon one'whom Heaven wishes to raise up as its chnmpion, can never demand, as a pre-requisite, the imposition of hands by any par ticular man or set of men. .But some form of ordination is certaily e.rpe dhtnt, to ensure respectability.and piety to she pplpit,.as furas htunn supervinion is enpuhle of achieving this end.

The Hall was densely crowded, and the utmost entlusiasn was manifested when any of the speakeis ilenounced the acts of Loui< Napoleon. M. Gustave Maequet, ex-editor of the Le Peuple Souverein, said that the revolution of '48 was a glorious event, beause it overthrew a modarch who, after haviing taken the crown by the consent (of two hundred men, main ained his power for eighteen years by cun ning and violence, and at last lost it without rourage or dignity.
