A contemporary thinks "the day may yet come when men will be propelled by steam power, the boilers being placed in their coat tail pockets." It is proposed to bold a Democratic State Convention at Columbia, on the third Monday in April next, to appoint delegates to the Charleston National Democratic Convection, which meets one week thereafter. Wendell Phillips says the Constitution, the bond of our Union, is a compact with hell and a league with the devil.? Probably that is the reason that Wendell, Wade, Webb, Greely, &c., are so much opposed to dissolution. ' Hon. Judge Mason, of Iowa, who made himself so popular with the Inventors of the country while he held the office of Commissioner of Patents, has, we learn, associated himself with Munn& Co., at the Scientific American Office, New York. A bill has passed the Senate of Tennessee to amend the ursury laws which fixes the rate of interest at 6 per cent., but allows the recovery of 10 per cont. for borrowed money where the parties shall have so agreed, and such agreement be expressed on the face of the contract. The New York Herald states that the celebrated firm of Stewart & Co., extensive dry good merchants, have found it necessary to discharge 50 clerks in consequence of the falling off of the Southern trade; and over 100 firms of lesser note have been compelled to curtail expenses from the same cause. A few days since a resolution passed the Missouri Senate, calling upon the Governor for information or evidenoe upon which he issued certain bonds to the Cairo and Fulton Railroad. The Governor, in answer, sent to the Senate the following message: "Because I have the right and power to do it." It is stated that a large number of mail contractors have informed the Department that unless Congress makes an appropriation early in January for the postal service they cannot oontinue to transport the mails. Over four millions are due contractors for arrearages for the year ending last June. The Hartford Times says : A gentleman called at our office, on Monday, who is about to start for tne State of Alabama to start a hatter's shop and factory there.? The trade from this quarter having been much injured, he removes from Connecticut and takes away the business and the hands employed here. In this way Connecticut is made to suffer. Each Republican member of Congress has received a circular, dated Trenton, N. J., Deo. 9, and signed by a committee of twelve gentlemen, appointed by the friends of Win. L. Dayton, urging that gentleman's claims forthe Republican nomination for the Presidency. One argument employed is Mr. Dayton could carry the , States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Twenty thousand tuns of iron require i to Aa yaar-oo- railways, ow- ( ing to "wear and tear," and twenty-six mil- ' Hod wooden sleepers require to be replaced annually from the same cause. Three hundred thousand trees are annually felled to make good the decay of the sleepers, and this number of trees require for their growth, five thousands acres of forest land. The London Herald condemns the hanging of John Brown. The Philadelphia Ledger asks if the British Government do not intend to hang Nena Sahib, in India, if they catch him. To which we may add, was hanging John Brown, after a fair trial, worse than blowing scores of Sepoys a day from the mouth of cannon, without any trial at all ? If it was worse, we will try to improve upon it the next time, by adopting towards future John Browns, the British mode of punishing insurrectionists. A negro girl belonging to Mrs. Nail, was burnt to death in this town, on last Tuesday, the 3d of January. She was engaged cookiDg dinner when her dress caught fire, and having on hoop-skirts, it was impossible to extinguish the flames. Drs. Lambert, Morrison and Cornwell, were instant ly called in, but she was dreadfully burnt and died in three hours. Mr. and Mrs. Nail, and Mrs. Clark, we learn, were all smartly burnt in attempting to save the girl. ? Chester Standard. The State of Arkansas has enacted a very stringent measure against free negroes, which goes into effect the 1st of January. All free negroes, found in the State at that period are to be sold into d slavery. In Mississppi, a law adopted on r the 7th iustant, provides that free negroes E shall leave the State on or before the 1st of July, 1860; or, if they prefer to remain, that they shall be sold into slavery, with a right of choice of misters, at a price assessed by three disint erested slaveholders, the proceeds to go ir.to the treasury of the county ;n which the provisions of the bill may require it to be executed. We understand that over one hun-j dred hands have recently been discharged from one of our largest manufactories, in consequence of orders from the South having been countermanded. The factory has been in very succesful operation for six or eight years past, doing a very extensive bu- j siness, the major portion of which is with! the South. It is also very probably some 1 fifty more will have to be discharged short- jj ly, if there is not an end to the Slavery agi- i tation now going on, both North and South, i there not being work enough to keep them i employed, even at reduced wages. This < factory, when in full operation, furnishes < employment for some four or five hundred 1 men.?Philadelphia Pcnnsylvanian, 31s/. ' A few nights since a huge and ver- 4 dant Tennesseean concluded he would be inducted into the mysteries of tne Sons of Malta, and had a friend to propose his \ name to the lodge at Nashville, Tenn. He 1 was balloted fur, and immediately went in | to join the expedition. He had been in butj a short time when he was handled rather | roughly, and concluded he could not hold !. his oats; so he tore loose from the guards, and met the sentinel at the outer door, knocked him senseless, and broke for the . coffee house near by. He entered with his hat in his hand, took off his coat, and swore , furiously; said he was 17 miles from home, I but could whip any Son of Malta in the j United States, and cursed the sideboards) and other furnituse necessary in the long i. room. The house rang with shouts of laugh , ter from the bystanders, and the fellow was \ soon simmered down to a good humor. ] ?|t gkkMUe (feiptmr , . ?. < "* * * y edited by SAM'L W. MELTON" WM. W. EAST. YORKVILLE, S. C. ( THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1860. Special Notice.?All communications, on matters connected with the paper, should be addressed to "The Yorkyille Enquirer and not to the Editors or Proprietor, personally. Persons desiring prompt attention to their favors, must bear this in mind. Capt. D. D. Moore, Maj. Myles Smith, Samuel G. Brown, J. L. Thomson, and Samuel J. Kutrsndal, of York; John R.

We have been requested by Capt, E. M. Fabis, post-master, to state that the post-office here tofore known as 'Catawba Creek, N. C.,' has been discontinued. All packages intended for that neighborhood will be stopped at 'Pleasant Ridge,' North Carolina. SAW-MILL, AC., FOR SALE. Mr. C. J. Kek, offers at private sale his Steam Saw and Grain Mills, situated seven miles east of Rock Hill. As he has moved and must sell, he promises an excellent bargain. Purchasers would do well to see his advertisement, which may be found in another column. HOBIE-MADE FOREVER I Mr. Hustxe, of Virginia, has already appeared in Congress in a suit of home-made; and, we learn, that the members from South Carolina and perhaps other Southern States will soon follow his example. Three ohecrs for the movement started by the Richmond ladies, and a million whirs for Southern spindles, and home-made forever! THE WEATHER. On Saturday last we were visited by a slow day's rain, melting away all the snow; and since then the weather has been moderating. The oc- J casional carrol of a bird, in the morniog, has reminded us of the coming spring-time. But the clouds are heavy over head, and one of those sudden changes, peculiar to our variable oiime, may bring down upon us in an hour, another driving snow-storm or a cold and biting rain. WINTER. Winter, in some respects the most cheerless of seasons, betokens well that the whole year is crowned with the Creator's goodness. The world out of doors is just repelling enough to make us draw around the fireside and nestle in each other's hearts and affections. The winter of nature is the summer of home-love. The heart, as much as the flowers, needs the warm sun of affection and social intercourse, for its growth and development. A thousand offices of kindness are performed for man and beast doing this dreary season. Even the robin or snowbird, that chirps at the window for a crumb of ^read, is not turned away empty. Thus the heart grows and lives on the dew of its own charities. It is made self-strong and happy by the power of love. A nature, sufficient to itself, yet leaning on heaven for support and protection, is i treasure; and such is the growth of winter. Still, we love to see a brighter world around us, and welcome with gladness the resurrection jf the ti overs -tW?oog4-of hirda-in Spring. They remind us that if a man dies he shall live igain; and the bright new earth, in its robe of rreen, whispers to the soul the hopo of heaven ind blessedness hereafter. THE STATE PRESS. The Columbia Carolinian, since New Year, ias visited us in a new dress. We felicitate the )ublisher on its improved appearance. It is n itandard journal, always up with the news, and in able advocate of Southern institutions. The Camden Journal, comes to us enlarged md otherwise improved. Mr. J. W. Call, is asociated with Col. Warren, in the Editorial dejartment. Prosperity attend them. The Sumter Watchman, after tho first of ^pril, will commence a tri weekly issue. This peaks well for the enterprise and public spirit if the district, which bears the name of the irave and gallant hero of tho revolution. We hail with pleasure the advent of the 1Southerner," a new weekly published at Dar ington, S. C., under the management of Mr. F. \ Warlet. In politics it is ultra State Rights, ,nd conservative in State matters. Mr. War,et adds to these qualities a warm and earnest levotion to the great Temperance movement of he day. He is favorably known as the former ditor of the 'Flag.' We very cordially welcome lim back to his old vocation, with many wishes or the success of the 'Southerner.' The tone of the State Press is at present high, .nd its spirit watchful. From the mountains to be seaboard, that union of sentiment which imlarts vigor and power to action, is felt to 'perade every point like an atmosphere.' The poode may 'trust in God and keep their powder Iry,' and go to their 'farm and merchandise' with a oerry heart and the song of freedom on their lips, mder the assurance that the 'State Press,' when lecessary, will call for their stalwart arms and irave spirits in the hour of battle. May heaen's richest blessiugs still descend on our dear 'almetto State! Mr. P. S. Layton has resigned the editoial charge ot the Fairfield Herald (weekly) and Register (tri-weekly); and Dr. D. M. Clarke akes his place. The former has our kiudest wishis to accompany Lim in his retirement from the msition of editor; and the 'extended hand' of he latter we receive with many welcomes to his lew vocation. Our valued contributor, J. Wood Davidson, continues to act as 'contributing Edior.' MARRIAGE. A kind pastor, to whom we are grateful, has landed us some interesting statistics on thissubcct. During the last year the gentlemen, mar ied by him, averaged twenty-five, the ladies, aineteen years of age. For the last ten years :hc many marriages at which he has officiated, jeeurred most frequently in the following order! ){ months:?December (1) ; January (2); Feb j :uary (3); November (4); August (5); July (C) ; n March only three occurred ; in October two; April, May and June, being on a par. These "acts are suggestive. We wish that our friend had given us a full iccount for the last ten years; because wo are j mpressed with the belief that, in this time, there las been a gradual diminution of marriages anoDg the younger class of young men. Now, ffith good old Ben. Franklin, we are the friends j )f early unions. We would not encourage such ! laste in this matter as to interfere with thorough ;ducation, full development and severe preparalon for the weighty affairs of life. Physicians, awyers, teachers, ministers and all who have opportunity, need to look after a free, full and nanifold culture of body, mind and soul, as a prerequisite to this important step. The complete armour of life is not to be put on in a day. But we frequently sec young men who have passed through this period of culture, and others who have, without thorough cultivation, ended :heir school days and entered upon business, aesitating to take upon them the yoke that is j ? easy and tbe burden that is light. YouDg friends! marry. Marry, while tbe heart is yonng and i pliant, and may wed itself wholly and harmoniously to the objeot of your choice. Marry, while the door of your heart is open for the ingushing of the pure and wholesome stream of woman's lore. Marry, ere the evil days come when your shirts shall be buttonless, and your evenings spent in gloom and loneliness. We are aware that some say tho extravagance and idleness of our girls would ruin their prospects, but, our word for it, they are mistaken.? They know not how faithfully a true woman clings to the one she loves, and, becoming a part of him, shares his poverty and misfortunes, if need be, with a glad heart. The lore that is stronger than death is also stronger than folly and vanity. Marry, young friends, marry! FOREIGN NEWS. The Peace Congress meets in Paris on the 20th January. It has been stated that tho Pope claims the Presidency of that body for his Plenipotentiary. This, however, is denied. Count Cavour will represent Sardinia there. Prom his known radicalism, this indicates that Sardinia intends to take a high stand for the liberties of Italy. The Neapolitan Government has consented to an Italian Confederation. A previous report that the Emperor of Austria intends to abdicate his throne, receives no confirmation. Hungary is in a precarious condition. The Austrian army in that country is reckoned 50,000 strong. Political and religions agitation areunited in the minds of the people. We may reasonably look for another Hungarian war. Tho war between Spain and Morocco continues. The Spanish forces concentrated at Ceuta are still acting on the defensive. The Moors have sustained a heavy loss in a recent engagement. The only item of interest from India is the aoceptance, by Sir Hope Grant, of the command of an English expedition against China. In Great Britain, Lord John Russel answers the memorialists on Mexican affairs, in regard to non-payment of claims, that England is endeavoring to come to an understanding with other powers respecting the course to be pursned with regard to that country in the future. He points out the difficulty occasioned by the United States recognizing one individual as President, and England and France another. The weather in France and England has been remarkably severe. The markets are firm.? Provisions are steady. Wheat is advancing. : - . MERE-MEJfTION. Hod. John Letcher, Governor-eleot of Virginia, entered on the disoharge of his Exeoative daties on the 2d instant. *.* Col. L. T. Wiqpael, Senator elect from Texas, has arrived in Washington and taken his seat. This adds another voter to the Democratic party. The Washington correspondent of the Savannah Republican in speaking of Col. Keitt, says : 'I take him to be about 36 and 40 years of age.' That makes 76, doesn't it, Mr. Matthew Matics ? Welearn from the Standard, that Mrs. Anna Wtlie, wife of the late Judge Peter Wylie, died in Chester on the 18th ultimo. One of our exchanges advertises for two compositors 'who don't get drunk,' and adds that 'the editor docs all the getting drunk necessary to support tho dignity of the establishment. The FreDoh Budget for the ensuing year calls for an expenditure of of ?73,000,000. There was a heavy fall of snow in New Orleans on the 1st instant. A horse arrived in New York, on Saturday, from Italy, only seven hands high. He is to be sent to Washington to Mr. Buchanan, as a present from J. H. Binda, the United States Consul. It is no wonder that the wind is solemn and a hundred centuries. The Chester Standard states that at Herndon's extensive sale of land and negroes, in Union, week before last, property sold very high. One likely negro girl brought the extraordinary price of $2000. A writer in the Winnsboro' R'gister promises to be one ' of a thousand to subscribe each a hundred dollars, to secure a line of freight and passenger steamers between Charleston and Europe. 1 On the authority of the New Haven Journal, it ' is stated that Col. Sam. Colt, of Hartford, has made arrangements to establish a manufactory for fire arms at Richmond, Va. The capital [ required is SI,000,000, of which Major W. M. B. 1 Hartley, oi Connecticut, nag agreeu 10 lurmsn one-half. The Charleston Courier says that the New Court of Appeals opened in that city on Monday last. O'Nkall, Chief Justice; Johnston and F. H. Wardlaw, Assooiate Judges. The Petersburg (Va.) Express says that birds are very plentiful in that market, aud that robins were sold there by the bushel, price one dollar, on Saturday last. It is stated that the late John E. Cook was born on the 16th of May 1830, was sentenced to death on the 16th of November, executed on the 16th of December, and his child was born on the 16th of last July. Some of the Southern papers are in faver of exchanging the six New England States for the island of Cuba. A poor man out West, whose wife has just presented him with twins the fourth time, has applied for a divorce on the ground of her having an overbearing disposition. There is a firm in New York under the mild and soothing title of 'Snapp and Byte.' The Government of Farini has published a decree suppressing the Tribunal of the Inquisition as incompatible with modern civilization. In consequence of the act of Spain in declaring war against Morocco, thousands of Jews have been compelled to abandon all that they possess, and to seek protection under the friendly shelter of the British flag at Gibraltar. Rembrandt Peale, the celebrated painter, is said to be seriously ill. The imports into New York for the past year amount to $113,000,000, against 1 $60,000,000 last year, and $80,000,000 in 1857.

Tbo profit sign of the times, to which all others are subordinate, is hostility to the institution of slavery. There is not only a Northern, but a ( Southern wing to this faction. We have renew- ( ed evidence of this fact with every mail that comes. 'There are traitors in the camp.' Wit- , ness, besides the hundreds of cases which have i been brought before Vigilance committees, the Rev. Daniel Woktii, a native of Guilford, N. Carolina, and a minister of the Gospel, who has been arraigned before the bar of public opinion, 1 and openly rejoices that he may follow in the i wake of John Brown, to martyrdom ! Yet 1 through the love of friends, he has been enabled < to give bail for his appearance at court in a bond \ of five hundred dollars. G. W. Vestal, of the i same State, and the same sentiments, similarly i convicted, has given bail in a bond of two thousand dollars. Both of these men, it is proved, 1 have for some time been avowed abolitionists with 1 impunity. An old man, named Turner, has re- l c'ently been arrested aud tried at Greensboro,' 1 for circulating Helpers Book, and gave bail for 1 five thousand dollars. A few days ago in Ken- i tucky, twelve families were sent off in a body to- ' gether. Tney are among us, and of us?those i who have the traitor's blood running dark and ] poisonous in their veins. 11 Hopefully, us an off-set to this, the prevailing sign here, is t ie voice of union, self-relianoe and independence ringing out dear and lond over the Sonthern States. From onr exchanges we gather numerous and encouraging evidences of a growing desire for direct trade and non-intercourso. Savannah has adopted resolutions in favor of 'direct trade,' 'patronage of Southern commerco and manufactures', 'education in Southern schools and colleges,' 'patronage to Southern authors and editors,' 'employment of Southern teachers and the use of Southern schoolbooks,' abd, 'non-intercourse with all cities and scotions at the North, inimical to slavery and Southern institutions.' A spirited public meeting has been held at Darlington, and a call published for one in Marion District. Many other localities, we are glad to see, are warm and ttirring with kindred life. PnnRnnnsrit nnnn thin manlv movement, and springing np from it like a mush-room, comes the whining, wheedling, miserable clique who hope, by the all-potent spell of anion meetings and sympathy with the 8outb, to lull the fretful Southern bibeling into slumbers again! Rahway, in New Jersey, ha^just awaked at this late day, likeanither Rip Van Winkle; and in a'wee, small voice* like the bleat of a lamb in the storm, has lovingly resolved that slavery is, recognised by the constitution?that there is no 'irrepressible conflict,' and that New Jersey doesn't want a Speaker wii.h feelings hostile to us. Btess them 1 they ought to change Rahway'B name to Radway; for this is a sovereign remedy forjalV our wounds! We do not mean to say that there are not isolated casos of true men at the North, but they are powerless. The great, rulinf masses have 'stooped over the tarn and inbaled the noxious breath coming up from the pit of ruin.' Meanwhile, in the words of another 'it will be gratifying to the people of South Carolina, to learn that their Representatives in Congress are awake to the living, vital interests peiding before the country.' When they received;the message which our Legislature sent them, ihey held a meeting with members from Virginia, for the purpose of interchanging views and adopting a settled line of policy. In addition to this, Mr. Mixes, recommends the election of a temporary Speaker, in order that the House may organize and satisfy the demands of the official incumbents, anc: after that, a general resignation of the members and dismemberment of Congress, for the purpose of returning home and laying the whole question before the people. Wkat a wise recommecdation, if only practicable! But the Yankees, we foar, are too ounning and full of duplicity, to suffer the question to be asked them so squarely and honeBtly, 'do you intead to overthrow this ffovernment ?' If this coarse of events terminates in a rapture of the Union, the South should be prepared, with arms and ammunition, to fight her own battics. Wo commend, therefore, as a wholesome sign, the movement to establish an armory and manufactory of arms at Richmond, Virginia.? The capital to be invested is $1,000,000. A Pennsylvanian proposes to take half the stock ; but we sincerely trust he will not get any. What benefit, or independence, would accrue to us from this investment of Northern capital on Southern soil ? It "would be doubly ruinous, by welcoming our enemies to our homes and firesides, aid thus cementing, more closely, that intercourse which the movement is designed to cut off. We should be wise and watchful. We are floating on stormy waters with a leak iu our ve3sel. May heaven steer us safely! MAINE'S POEMS. Avolio : A Legend of. the Island of Cos, with ?Miscellaneous andJJrsn*atia. By Paul H. Hayne. If the embodiment of a cultivated taste, a fertile fancy, and a rich and vigorous imagination, in rerse that flows, now sweetly as the willow-loving brocks, and now majestically as the "rushing, mig.hty river" bo Poetry, then we claim for Mr. Hayne the honored name of Poet. We bave rend his volume through and through, with i heart-warm pleasure. Not that we have d is:overed no ill-solected word?no unfelioitous line ?no prosy paragraph, no entire poem even, whioh wants the chastened vigor of Mr. Hayne's isual mood ; but in spite of an occasional blemsh, the volume before us is a proud contribution to American Literature. Avolio, the first and longest poem in the book, ,s founded on the legend of "the Daughter of 3ippocrates,"tobefound in Leigh Hunt's Indica:or. To this wild and beautiful legend the imnf nnr Por?t has added "several new fe*"?' ? ? noider.ts, besides endeavoring to give to the narrative a cast more purely ideal." He has admirably succeeded in this bold and daring effort.? Phe introduction of Actaeon and the "Song of ;he imprisoned Naiad ;"|the "preternatural land icape," and the very grasses instinct with "hor id life," give to the poem an air of weirdness ind ideality, indescribable. The three Odes which follow this?"To Sleev," >n "Ar(" and on "Nature the Consoler,"?while hey possess different degrees of merit, all beong to a high order of poetry. The first and he last of these are well-nigh rivals for our adniration. They are full of sweetness and sentinent. But the Ode on Art is our favorite of the hreo. There is a stern grandeur and unflagjing creativeness of imagination?a facility of liction and melody of verse?in this Ode, which stamp it one of "the marble poems." We quote i single passage, descriptive of Raphael:? Next. Raphael comes with calm and star-like mien, Fresh from the Beatific Ecstacy, His face how beautiful, and how serene t Since God for him the awful veil had riven, That shrouds Divinity,? And rolled before his wondering mind and eye Visions that we should gaze on but ? to die i Tho Sonnets?which come next iu a body? ire well executed and rank high among this spe>ioM of composition. Wc venture to qnote one which we think beautiful, and which we have not seen quoted elsewhere:? Along the path thy bleeding feet hove trod, O Christian Mother! do the martyr-years, Crowned with suffering, through the mist of tears Uplift their brows ? thorn-circled ? unto God ; Mott bitterly our Father's chastening rod Hath ruled within thy term of mortal days, Ye", in thy soul spring up the t ones of praise, Freely as flowers from out a burial-sod : Nor liuth a tireless Faith essayed in vain To win from sorrow that diviner rest, Which, like a sunset, purpling throuoh the rain Of dying storms, maketh the darkness blest ; Grief is transfigured, and dethroned Fears Pule in tho glory beckoning from the West. Tie Small Capitals are our own. Of the miscellaneous pieces we would not differ widely from the taste of the Edgefield Adver'iser, which is as follow?:? "(1) The song. Fit/, swiftly Fly; (2) The Two Simmers,- (3) The Villaye Beauty ; (4) The PicA 7)art)h f Fi\ Thf Of '.lire VJ ti. utumyiii I ^ ?, - ... The Bridal; (0) The Will And The Wing." Between 1 and 2 we would make room for Palingenesis; 2 and 8, for "Flowers from a Grave and between 4 and 5 for "Queen Galeia." "The Presentiment," "On a Portrait," "Here Long Ago" and "0! your eyes are deep ma! tender," deserve a place somewhere among these ; but we cease to cull and compare, lest we should lay half the volume before our readers, is deserving the first place. Mr. Hatne has done himself great credit in bis dramatic fragments. Antonio Melidori is the longest and most perfect piece given. When we read "Queen Galena'' and "The Island of the South,we were struck with their dramatic force; when we read this fragment, we were convinced that Mr. Hatne's genius is truly dramatic.? Tbongh Antonio's character is a little crippled in the turning point of the catastrophe, the truthful and happy delineation of his "wandering mind," in the olose, calls baok that interest in his fate which partly subsided, when he so foolishly promised Affendouli to attend the feast of "Unity and Friendship." Philota is without a blemish. Her unselfish love and devotion to Antonio are conceived and executed in the true spirit of the Drama. So is Rousso's perfect villainy. The tragic muse steps majestically through the whole pieoe. It were better called "Philota" in its present state ; because on her concentrates the reader's sympathy. We respectfully suggest that the hero or heroine of a tragedy should do nothing and be nothing, which will mar the reader's interest in his or her fate. We hope our poet will yet be able "to compose a tragedy of the usual length upon this subject;" in which case we humbly recommend such an alteration in the plot as will free Antonio from the just charge of recklessness which he incurs in going to the feast We8hallwait with some impatience for the1 "Conspirator," in full statue. The precions morceaus, culled from that Drama, are just enough to excite a desire to see the whole. Come, Mr. Haysb ! let us have it all soon! We predict for it "a wreath of immortelles.' The last but not least meritorious poem in the book is "The Realm of Rest." It is the happy ending of a Volume which has given us unfeigned pleasure in the perusal. We have met with minor faults?words, lines and even whole poems objectionable?but taken as a whole, the vigor, taste and versatility of genius displayed, are sufficient to raise Mr. Hatkb very high in the rank of the standard poets of the day. When we say this we mean it as no paltry praise; for the age of Tennyson, Poe, Alice Carey, Susan T. Archer, Amelia Welby, Mrs. Osgood?of Caldwell, Meek, Timrod and Grayson, and a host of minor songsters?in spite of all its materialistic tendencies?iB an intensely poetic one. We thank him for the pleasure he has given as; and sin oerely recommend him to all?whether readers of poetry or not?as entirely worthy of an hour's reading and a lifetime's praise. We especially recommend the Volume to those who are not accustomed to read poetiy; for, in the language of Goethe, "we should do our utmost to encourage the beautiful, for the rueful will encourage itself." * mil r? general ure.. In Yiew of the fact that General Lanb, of Oregon, may be nominated for the Presidency by the Democratic party in the Charleston Convention, we think it right to give oar readers an epitome of his views on the question of slavery, in the Territories. We think them sound and statesmanlike, and friendly to the South. They were made known to us through the National Intelligencer: Mr. Lane, of Oregon, briefly stated that, while he would not deny that Mr. Douglae and Mr. Pugh were good Democrats, he differed from them in their opinions on the Territorial question For himself, he held that the Territories were the common property of the States, whose citizens, by every principle of equality and justice, were consequently entitled to enter the domain with whatever was recognized as property by the law of their States; and that property, of whatever kind, when thus removed to this common domain, was equally entitled to protection from the law-making power. The Territorial Legislature could not establish or prohibit sla very, but conld and should protect the slaveholder in the enjoyment of his right to the labor of his slave so long as the Territorial condition lasted ; and, if this protection were not farnished by the Territorial Legislature, it would be the duty of Congress to aiford it. CONGRESSIONAL ITEMS. From our exchanges, wo make the following Summary of news from Washington, since the lost issue: Washington, January 5.?The proceedings in the Senate to-day were unimportant Adjourned until Monday. In the House, two ballots were bad for Speaker. On the first ballot, Sherman received 104; Vnllandigham 69; Gilmer 17; rest scattering? necessary to a choice 107. On the second, Sherman received 103^ Bocock 56; Nelson 8; reft scattering?necessary to a choice 106. January 6.?Mr. Miles spoke in the Hinse to-day, and showed that the anti-LecomptabistS were to blame for the non-organization 6t the House. He proposed to electa temporary Speaker and pass the appropriation bill, and then resign their seats, this throwing the question of the day before the people. " T In a ballot for Speaker 112 were necessary for a choice. McClernard received 87, Bocock 82; rest BCttiienug. The Joint Union and National American Committee last night inoretysed the number of the committee and authorized the preparation of an address to the people of {he Union. It was stated in the meeting that the information as to the snccess of the movement from various sections, was highly gratifying.-Mr. Chittenden was Chairman. The Democrats of the House are hopeful of an organization next weelr, by the aid of the AntiLccomptonites and Americans. January 7.?In the House, to-day, there was a debate involving party priaciples. There was one ballot for Speaker; Shennan lacking three votes. Hamilton from Texas, received 89. The remainder of the votes were scattering. January 8.?There is much alarm prevalent among the Black Republicans to-day, and consequent activity, in view of (he prospect of an early election of a Speaker by the Demoorats and the Americans. The Black Republicans have relinquished the hope of being able to institute the plurality rule, or to elect Sherman, and are canvassing to-day for another ar.d less obnoxious candidate. Senator Toombs, of Georgia, will not introduce his carefully prepared bankrupt bill, in consequence of the threatening aspect cf the political and social relations of the country. January 9.?In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Iverson made a strong speech against squatter sovereignty. In the House, three ballots were had for Speaker, generally with the same resalt. On the last ballot, Sherman received 105, Hamilton, 88, Gilmer 18?necessary to a choice 110. The Louisiana delegation waited on Postmaster General Holt, to-day, relative to the irregularities of the mail between Washington and New Orleans, and it is understood the latter gavo them to understand that the department contemplated a reduction of service, on the gtound that the postal expenditures of Louisiana exceeded the revenue by upwards of half a milaon per annum. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. AN INTERESTING RELIC OP THE PAST. A few days since, a gentleman of seventy wu-? !-?. 1 it,, ID lers, put 1U10 our uttuua IUC umiuo vi a uuuio- j ty, whose existence, fifty years ago, has some lessons of interest for us at this day. The Book (in MSS.) referred to, is the Records of "The Bethesda Circulating Library Society." It was organized in August, 1810; and was, by mutual consent, dissolved, August, 1816. It's object, as stated in its Constitution, was to "promote and I facilitate the acquisition of the great advantages, resulting both to individnals and to the community at large, from a general diffusion of divine and natural knowledge." The method pursued, was to purchase books in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or Charleston, South Carolina, with the money accumulated from an initiation feo, and an annual instalment. These Books were assorted, and marked by lots. At quarterly meetings, the lots were exchanged ; and thus, in the course of j time, every member had access to all the Libra-1 ry, amounting to about fifty lots, numbering each, from one to four volumes. I Among the books belonging to the society ,/ maybe mentioned the works of Thomas Scott J' D. D., President Edwards,; James Hervey, Dr' Withcrspoon, Dr. Paley, Dr. Buck, Wilberforc/ 1 Bishop Newton, and Rev. John Newton. A\f, Reid's, Locke's, Knox's and Goldsmith's Essa^; Works of Benjamin Franklin, Sterne, Pope, /d- 1 dison; History of Travels, by Ashe, Park, Epmberger and Worrell. Also, Ramsay's History of South Carolina, Ferguson's Rome, a hist^y of England, Moore's France and Italy, AdamVNew England, and Snowden's North America. / Also, Zimxnerm&u on Solitude, Curran's Speeches, &c.

The desirable and fcrtant object of bringing books within the re* minds thirsting for knowledge, was effioienaeoniplished through the simple means of a doting library. The method is worthy of imi Ja, and should commend itself even now towages, churches and communities. A circuli library, properly condnoted, might redeetjgny wasted hours; dissipate much ignoranaefine and educate many a noble, but obsourwlect, and prevent much social corruption aribral degradation. 2. The appreciation andjference these men, half a century ago, bftsHl substantia! and high-toned literature, is Me contrast with the tastes and mental habit many communities now. Of all the roll .in this library, there was not one whose te: ly was not to instrnct?make wiser and bl > The taste displayed furnishes a most wil ig rebuke to the modern passion for, and ra ter, the sickly, trashy, nauseating stuff of 4 bo many of the novels, etc., are made, and ai ie wishy-washy, namby-pamby, demoralizing ter that floats through so many of the perials, &c., of the present age. : .

One of tl 1s a venerable patriarch of well nigh four so rears.
