The great American Triumeviri are one by one fast descending to-beir graves-indeed but one of the immortal trio of CALZIoux, CLAYrand WEBsTEat is now-living may the surviving-member meet hislast end with the same firmness and readiness of his departed brothers. Mr. CLAY's personal friends, we understand, have taken. his remains to Lexington, for the friendly pur. pose, we presume, of burying them beneath the .soil he loved so well. The great Carolinian and his noblecompeer, the great Kentuckian, are gone for. ever,,but they are still and ever will be, "The dead, but sceptred sovereigns who rule our spirits from their urns." Upon their sacred tombs golden flowers and fruits are still springing, "fruits wherein 'lie Nepenthe, Bowers 'that are flowers of Amaranth." May their last sleep be long and gentle. Upon'the green turf that covers their mortal remains, let the refreshing 'dews of sorrowing-affection discend. As they have immoitalized themselves by their genius and virtue, let them be -honored by all that is endearing in, social or domestic charities, and blessed with public revera tion and unperishable renown. ggb Ma.' WILLIAM H. CRANE of Augusta Geor gia, is now offiering great inducements to those who are desirous of,purchasing "Summer Dry' Goods." Mr.CIANE, we know, had on hand a very large stock-of spring goods; and we suppose. he is endea voring to make place for the." Fall Fashions." Du ring our- different visits to Augusta, we have fre q'uently'had the pleasure of stepping into Mr. C's. store, and can assure all those who call upon him of a hearty reception, and what, perhaps, wiill please them more, the very cheapest prices and best bar. gains. g5 WE call attention to the Advertisement of S. & E.

THE SOIL OF THE 80UTO, Turs is the' title of an Agricultural Journal, the first copy of which, that we have received is nowv before us. -We have not liad -a leisure opportunity for -its perusal, but from a mere glance we have became so much interested in' it, as to promise our selves a rich treat from its columns. We presume, from its name, that it n ill he entirely devoted to facilitatin: horticulture and agriculture in the South. <The utility and want of such a Journal is too deeply felt not to be-known. It is published at Columbus Ga., at the very moderate rate of $1 per annum. IOSSUTHI'S MOVEMENTS, THE late, conduct of Kossuti, and more particu larly the influence exerted by him at a meeting of the Germans in New York, has produced an unusual de gree of sensation among all parties. Indeed it is now evident that, this audacious man is endeavoring to interfere, as mutch as possible, in the affairs, of our country. Having failed to acconiplish his great end of causing, or rather coinpelling, our government to adopt his visionary schemes, he is determined to interi vene, in our most important affairs, and meddle with oar rmost sacred sud inviolable riglits. It cannot be doubted but that -among other things, Governor IKosstrru is bending all his energies to wards uniting the Germans, throughout the' United States, upon one platform, or rather compelling them to vote for that Presidential candidate most favorablsi' to intervention. . This is we think not only'a very. impertinent, but also a highly important step-inde-ed one that may, if successful, determine the election. "The German votes in thisplace,". says the New York Hermld, " number some twenty thousand,, and .in Pennsylvania and other States they nrmber perhaps threehundred thou sand. If they should all vote in one way, or even a very large nuinber of them vote diflerentdy.from their. party, they will upset the balance of power .between the two partiis,'eonfound all calculadions, and cause the election of the weaker man, and 'the triumph of the weaker party.' Now we do not. pretend to say, which of the two parties: (we mean the Democratin dr ,Whig) are most' in favor of intervention, for we have always under stood that neither would have anything to do with it, in'-iket,deemed it. entirely a foreign question and highly lippolitice . Therefore if the Germans should determine to cast a united vote for an intervention daididate, they must find that candidate in a'diflerent party-he must-beloag'hither to the anti-slavery, free sdil or any oilier theth'the Whig or Deniocratic. It is certain,however, that let their candidate be who he' may, (provided he is not a Whig or Democrat) their vote will' very materially weaken the Democratic prty,.q the Germans, it is generally. coneeded,- be-. lqag-to that party.

At 8 o'clock, A. M., -a most excellent Brass Band from the City of Augusta, under the command of Mr. Jon BonSLEi,. took: its position. in* the Court House Portico, which fronts the Public Square,-and there enlivened all listeners with some of the very finest strains of Martial Music it has ever been our good ' fortune to hear in $dgefield.

'Ie com manded the- respect of all-and 'we havo' already heard that they may look for a second engagement amongst us within the next two weeks. At half past, 10 o'clock, A.

Whoever has carefully observed the course of the above named gentleman-on' the above named subject, cannot but be struck with the odium, which it seems to be his endeavor, on every occasion, to heap -upon all who have not felt themselves called upon to occupy the posi tion which he has thought proper to assume on the subject. The Christian ministry, and Christians gen erally, who, in the exercise of that right of opin ion to which every man is entitled, have declined to take their places under the banner of the so called temperncee reform, are made the subject. of the grossest misrepresentation, and held up as the enemies, virtually, of a cause which they profess to love, and on principles as high above those which they are called upon to adopt, as heaven is above earth. -At Darlington C. H., a few weeks ago, Mr. W. is found taking the bold and startling posi tion, that during 'his sojourn in the State of South Carolina, so far, he had heard but a single Minister of the Gospel advocate the catuse of temperance from the sacred desk. .Now what, we ask, does Mr. W. mean, when he says that but a single minister in the State had advocated, in his hearing, the cause of tem perance from the pulpit?- Does he mean that the rest have not held up the order of the "Sons of Temperance," as an order to which all ought to belong who would be temperate ?' If he means to say tis, lie is certainly correct, so far Ds this simple fact is.concerned. But when he. draws the conclusion from this, that they are living in the neglect of tiio high duty to which~ God has called them, of inculcating the princi-. pIes of temperance among' those to whom it' ay -be their privilege to minister,'he beth falls into the grossest fallacy, and is guilty of thi ost shameful violation of truth. If the order sf the." Sons of Temperance" embodies alone' th principles of temperance, to the exclusion of avery othier system, the conclusIon to which Mr. W. is so bold in coming, is not fallacious, but torrect. But if,-on. the .contra~y the Christian eligion, which, it is-to be hope tLhe mninistry at argo are honestly endeavoring to advance, cdri titutes the real and only genuine embodiment f the great principles of. temperance,. thieere. rse is true. The conclusion adverted to is ot correct, but fallacious; and if so, howifoul nd shameful the injustico of whiejtMr. W. is An .surely it liasedide to asenous asnt e esll with irg h srt ase fv3 c byhl theern tv r ' sponsil]ed R od-and bywhom? hr-o So fs 1 Mr. Phip S.

They bantered each'other to take hold of it first, and at last the boldest seized it suddenly by the tail, jumped back two or three. feet and then let it fall... He looked at the other, as much as to say, If he's.not dead it's a capital sham! Th4 other made'a similar essay after, which they 'nilternately dragged and shook it, and conulted some time before. they agreed that it.was netually dead..

AN AMERICAN DRAGOON KILLED AT CARMAR Go.-Tho'Mbxican account of the affair is-r-" A dragooi belonging-to 'Gen. Harney's escort,.was killed a few days ago, at Carmirgo, by the Mex ican -troops. It seems three of them had leave to cross, with their horses for a pleasure trip, as is usual sometimes in the service. It appears they. had their arms as well as horses. The Mexicans say it happened in this' wise. The dragoons got drunk; and one of them insisted that he could charge alone,.and take a battery which was parked in the plaza. His compan ions, having more reason and, discretion begged him to dedsist; but putting 'spurs'to his horse, he 'charged .full speed upon the piece, though warned by the sentinel not to come too near. Upon this lie drew a pistol and wounded the sentiisel in the arm, which has since been am putated. He then charged upon the piece, and was shot with six balls by the sentries 'having charge of the battery.. The body was then ta ken to the river, and sint over to General Har ney." This is the Mexicans account. We have not heard the other side.' tHE WAY TO Do BUSINEss NOW-A-DAYS. The Boston Dnily Bee says: To keep up with the times, and be somebody, is to advertise.
