[WRITTEN FOR Tnz SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] AMERICAN LITERATURE. A Literature. purely American, must not passively submit to an abject imitation of that fostered by the institutions of any other country. Liberty and independence, united to virtue, are the groundworks upon which our Goverinent is founded. Loose this bond of union, and you at once destroy the beautiful fabric of our institutions. If virtue be of so great importance in sustaining our proud position.then all Republican Literature should aim at establishing this, upon afirin?r foundation, and its defenders must write regardless of the scorn of lho*3 corrupt govern incuts which would exult in the downfall of thi- Republic. Thus their testimony will l?e more dear to posterity, from the utter want of selfish interest with which it wan given. The geniti* which is called into full activity and vigor hy the longing desire of fame, must be interested : that stimulated by the desire of gain, must be mercenary. The many walks of busy life, and the rug1V01I nf lulmr iv i 11 *iaI nofmit menu < a VI IMWV'I| ? III IIVIi J'OI llllt lliail^ IV devote h life to Literature; hence not. a few ot the nioftt beautiful effusions in poetry and prose, are the offspring of minds whose influence is more powerfully fell in the great action of our nation's progress. Others there are, who, like the violet, just raise their modest heads from their domestic duties, to throw a sweet flower into the world's path. If lost, or unheeded, of course there is no regret The great free school system, or system of general education, now scattering its radiant beams over our land, will soon make knowledge of eaAy access to every cottage home, and the glorious result will be, that national intelligence will forin the basis of American Literature. From the lovely valley, imbedded Atnong the green hills, as well as from the mountain top, will spring forth geniuses who will eiectrtly and startle the world. In both our own country, and in the trans-Atlantic States, the present is the gold* en period of Literature; licit in its brilliant array of gifted minds; mind* whose outgtishing* are like the mountain streams, pure, hut sweeping away everything which opposes their ouward match. Others there are, which, like the meteors flash, leave,apparently, a path of light, but it proves to be a bright illusion. I'hey lingo viet with beamy, and the guilt of crime assumes but a romance. JJial Literature alone it worth acquiring, which impresses upon the mind increased knowledge, and a high gratia of morality, chastened feeling, and nigh aspiration.? Possessing these, mso will accomplish tho end and aim of Inn creation. He can enjoy the pleasure* of life without selfishness, withstand the various changes of fortune without a murmur, and scatter abroad his gifts wilii the feeling of brotherly kindness. In a free country, man's honor is kept bright by virtue and generous feeling, and the instinctive love of liberty will teach hitn to put a high estimate upou the privileges of others. But, to return from this slight digression, . let us briefly notice some of thedepariments of Literature, recalling, as we pass along a tew writers, wlio Unve done honor to iliemselves f?nd country in their several sphere* of action. In all tho sciences, the American mind, by its originality and clean elucidation, has struck out for itself new paths, exploded old theories, and, consequently, brought to light many tilings, which hitherto remained in doubt and uncertainty. Iliitoiy, teeming w ith exciting scenes and stirring events, rich in heroic achievements, high-toned patriotism, and lofty purpose, has engaged the gif.ed pens of Bancroft ami Prescott ; the former, by bis vivid style and vast resources?the latter, by bis fine arrangement, and interesting narrative, would 1 do credit to any age and nation. < Shall wo cross the ocean's wave to find works on ethics and philosophy t No; not while we boast a Nayland, a Hitchcock, and 1 a host of others. These fields of Literature have brought to their aid many gifted minds I ?a strong array of brilliant talents, which are as shining lights, shining brighter and < blighter. All have their peculiar influence 1 and particular admirers. Although some of tho writers on ethics differ materially on slavery, yet ihev all agree upon the fundamental principles?the different views on i our peculiar institution being traceable to their early instruction, and the particular ( doctrines of their respective sections of the Union. Shall the young physician, fresh from the walls of his Alma Mater, just entering upon his practice in the prairies of the far West, or in the northern portion of the country. innlfA f It A ItrflPtino nf Rurnnonn nltfoiolunu ? r ? " his guide ! or should lie not rather turn to i treatises by American authors, and there find the remedies for the diseases, which the varied climate and soil of our country produce? Of course, the latter method should be pursued, as the diseases ditfer so 1 much in their nature from those of Europe, thai the best medieal writers of the old world, havo but lightly glanced at them. < The American physician will always find the medical works of American authors his 1 best guides. And has the department of the Law been I an idle spectator all the while) We think not, and although our writers, in this field of Literature, may not possess the terseness i of a IMackstone, or the polished finish of a i Coke, still they richly merit a meed of i praise, for the scientific form to which they 1 have reduced the laborious commentaries of 1 English writers. Where there are so many different States, the natural result is, that there must be different laws ; and as each State is a sovereignty in itself, the national woiks must he tl.e surest guide to the American lawyer. Works on this science < are on an increase, and some of thetn will compare favorably with any in the world. I liave we no Narrative and Descriptive Literature of our own ? Does not our country, 1 with its varied scenery of hill and dale? ' with its wide extended prairies, and gently 1 sloping lowlands?with its sweet murmur- 1 intr I trunks. nn.l mnintiifl m*?i? ? ??!iK Ii. . mountains And valleys?furnish themes to i this class of writers ! The grace and ease of Irving, the exciting sea stories of Cooper, I the patriotic narratives of Sinims. the graph- j ic pictures of Paulding, speak loudly in our behalf. We proudly, point to them, and, in < the language of the Roman matron, say, "these are our jewels" in this particular i branch of Literature, But these stand not alone; they are surrounded by a host of i worthy contemporaries, who have graced Narrative Literature with their most bcauii- 1 ful etfuMons. Do we lack in Poets ? Not in number, surely. 'Tin true, we cannot boast a Homer, i a Virgil, a Milton, nor a Scott; yet there are many worshippers of the "tuneful nine" < who. for sweetness and beauty, pathos and i sentiment, have done honor to themselves ?iiu iu nieir country. ana we giaui)' nai! them a* brother American!!. The baeuty nnd freshness of Bryant, the sweetness of Mrs. Sigourney, the elegance of Halleck, the iig'lii grace ui Willis, refute the foul tation of the haughty Englishman, that we have no Po^ts. And Longfellow's Hiawatha?where can its eaual be found for ingenuity and originality ? It stands without a rival?u grand gloomy and peculiar '?the admiration of all. Our country, with its great diversity of scenery and productions, furnishes the noblest themes to the Pastoral Poet. Rural life, in all its felicity, opens wide her gates at his , approach, nnd invites hitn to breathe his strains in harmony with lue happiness of a country life. Here there is no need of invoking his muse to sing of delicious fruits the thirsty soul has never tasted?of groves and fountains, whose refreshing coolness is only felt in the heated imagination of the gifted Poet. Ilere are to be found every variety of fruits; licre Are to be seen founts and streamlets, wbicb the imaginative mind of the Greek would have peopled with Nymphs, Sylphs, and every other species of Fairies. Narrative Prose ami Ileroic Verse, have here exhaustless fund from whence to draw their supplies. Although our Legendary Lore cannot boast the silvery frost of age. yet it has the lig it of Truth, which is a much higher recoinmen dation. Tis true, wo are not able to point out to the traveler the gr'm old ca*tle, characteristic of ambition ami cruelty ; but, with a feeling of pride, wc point him to the monumental marble, commemorative of noble achievement*, w hich put to shame the heroic days of chivalry ; to our battle fields, where right finally triumphed over might, where a second Leonidas sacrificed himself upon the altar of Liberty?where another Regain* won for himself imperishable renown by his acts of patriotism and self-devotion. In a word, our Revolutionary period furnishes many thrilling incidents to the pen of Historical Romance. Nothing, perhaps, has more largely contributed to the diffusion of useful knowledge, than the Period cal Literature of our country. Under this head we include the magazines, teviews, weekly and daily newspapers. The time wa*. when the number of these were few, and but a scanty patronage bestowed upon them. Our people found in the journals of other lands that intellectual knowledge which tliev desired, and which the gifted writers of their own country could have furnished, had they only received that encouragement and support which tliev deserved ? without which it were folly tor any man to expect to succeed ns an author. At this time, however, the picture presents a different aspect?periodical literature has been steadily increasing from that time iu mi*, iiiiu now, in poini ot aiinnlilv, and the varied learning and lighter polish, our periodical literature, perhaps, cannot be surpassed bv that of any other nation. From its light form and unassuming appearance, it possesses manv facilities for getieini diffusion Like the little violet, it gently winds itself down the mountain ateep, as well a* through the green meadows covered with roses. It refreshes the laborer at his ontlage home, after the toils and itiuls of the day?it brings to light sparkling peaila from the great ocean of thought?it restores to their oiiginal elasticity and buoyancy the depressed spirits of youth?in fine, it furnishes food for pleasure and improvement to every class of persons. But it is to the futuro that we are to look for the brightest prospects of American Literature. When time shall have polished the ruder parts of our natures?when education shall have become general?when the mind, the intellect, not wealth, shall be the true index of the man, then will the store-hou>es of the mind be opened, and the rich abundance therein contained be poured on our land?then will timid and retiring genuisea plainly see the path they are to illumine with their gifts, placed upon the sacred altar of Literature. This future Literature must, of necessity, be as varied as there is diversity of climate and habits. From the hroad Atlantic, which laves our shores on the east, to the Kooky Mountains, which raise their rugged peaks high toward Heaven?from the gulf-washed shores of the " land of flowers," to the gauite hills of the Old North Slate?throughout the length nnd breadth of this Union, literary men will spring up, whoso writings will nboiuul in all those peculiarities incident to their respective sections. The prose and poetry of the Runny South will yet breathe a sweeter fragrance. The sweet scented orange groves, and the beautiful scenery of flowers, will be emblematic still of the fervid imagination of the chivalrous Southerner. Whilst in the cold North, the discoveries in Philosophy and the Sciences will increase. In every section, knowledge, love, feeling will travel with the unseen speed of "angel's visits." Oh, w hat a glorious day is yet in store for us Americans. In contemplating the future Literature of our country, let us not forget to hear in mind the glorious effects it will have on other nations. This should stimulate each and every one to make a wi?e use of those means witli which the Creator has endowed him. that he may add his mite, in rai-ing the Literature of his country to the highest state of improvement?that he may be able to place a gift in the great treasury of Truth, whose benign beams, diverging from one common center, shall irradiate the whole world. That freedom, which can fan into a bright flame, all that is noble in mind, and all that is lovely in virtue, must, and will be appreciated ; and this combination of virtue and independence, if rightly undersbaal, and rightly practice*!, will cause our Literature to be ibe Standard Literature of every nation, and our country, the standard of future re public*. In view, then, of the glorious resuit* which the future temptingly display* to n?, let us adopt, m our motto, that beautiful inscription on the wall of the chapel at Saint Wolfgang, in Germany : * Look not mournfully into the pa?k It come* not back again. Wisely improve tire present. It i* thine. Go foub to meet tbo T- ? shadowy Futuro without fear, and with a manly heart" CLIFTON. Greenville, S. C., Aug. 22d, 1837. Jtlisttllimtons 1\ tailing. Talleyrand and Arnold. There wan a day when Talleyrand arrived in Havre, on foot, from Paris. It was in the darkest hour of French revolution. Pursued by the bloodhounds of this re'gn of horror, stripped of every wreck of properly, Talleyrand secured a passage to America, in a ship about to sail. He was to be a beg gar and a wanderer in a strange laud, to earn his bread by daily labor. " Is there an American staying at your house !" he asked of the landlord of the ho tel. " 1 am bound to cross the water, and would like to see a person of inHuence in the New World." The landlord hesitated for a moment, and then said : " There is a gentleman up stairs either from America or Ihitain, but whether from America or Eng and, 1 cannot tell." He pointed the way, and Talleyrand ? who in his life was a bishop, prince, and minister?ascended the stairs. A miserable suppliant stood before the stranger's door, knocked, and entered. In the fa;- corner of the dimly lighted room sat a man of some fifty years, hi* arms folded, and his head bo wed upon his bieasl. From a window directly opposite, a flood of light poured upon his forehead. Hi* eyes looks from beneath the downcast brow, and upon Talleyrand's face, with a peculiar and searching expression. IIis form, vigorous with the snow of fifty, was clad in a daik. but rich and distinguished costume. Talleyrand advanced?stated that he was a fugiti%e?and, under the impression tha* the gentleman hefoie him was au American, solicited his kind offices. lie poured forth his history ir. eloquent French and broken English. " I am a wanderer?an exite. I am forced to fly to the New World without frieml or home. You are an American. Give me, j then, I beseech you, a letter of yours, so that j I may be able to earn my bread. I aiu willing to toil in any manner. A life of labor would bo a paradise to a career of luxury in Fiance. You will give me a letter to one of your friends) A gentleman, like you, doubtless lias many friends." The strange gentleman arose. Willi a look that 1 alley rand never forgot, he re treated towards the door of the next chain ber ; bis eyes looked still from beneath his darken brow. He spoke as he retreated backwards?bis voice full of meaning : * i nin the only n.an from the Now World who can raise his hand to God and say, I have not a friend?not even one in all America." Talleyrand never forgot the overwhelming sadness of the look which accompanied these words. " Who are you I" he ciied, as the strange man retreated to the next room; " your name t" " My name," he replied, with a smile that had more of mockery than joy in its con vulsive expression, " my nauie is benedict Arnold lw He was gone. Talleyrand sank into a chair, gasping these words : " Arnold, the traitor!" Thus you sec, he wandered over the earth | like another Cain, with a murderer's mark upon his brow. Eloquent Passage.?Tire followling beautiful passage is from h lecture ou ** The Philosophy of Life," delivered by Mr Win ter at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mr. Win ter is a young man, not more than twenty years of age, and has already won a high reputation as a poet and pro*e writer: " For the greatest human intellects there is no exemption from the common doom.? I have sometimes thought how sad, yet how sublime, must have been the emotions of that man, whose privilege it was to stand Ktr fKm nf slliol'cni.asa i "J ? ? ?on tliat sweet him) noble face, when <!ealli had called out all the strage beauty which never lives then. It was worth a life time to have stood there one minute?to have laid your hand on that broad brow, and Marled at the | cold chill ; and, so pausing, to have called up i in memory all the magnificent ci eat ions of his genius, and worshipped him there in the silence and gloom: But he is dead and gone ; At his SiKtiu a gi rru grnM itiri, At his heels a stone. So they all go. Man dies, but nature is eternal. The seasons keep their np|x>inled lime; day returns with its golden splendor, and night with its eloquent mystery. The same stars which lit the ghastly battle field of Troy ?rough with the dead bodies of ancient heroes which shone on the marble streets of imperial Rome, and on the sad eyes of Virgil, steeple** in the living glow of in?piraliol??-the watch tires of the angels, which through centuries of devastation and change, have still humeri on uncea-ingly? speaks to us as they did to Dante, and bhakspeare, and Milton, of the divine glory, the omnipotence, the everlasting beauty and love of God r Tobacco.?It U one of the inoet powerful poison* in the vegetable world. It belong* to the same list of drug* with pruasic acid, arsenic and henbane. Many a man is chewing or smoking enough every day to kill outright three or four men using it in the same way for the first liino. Its deadly action is first felt upon the nerve power. When enough is taken at once to destroy life, it* nicotine principle suddenly kills the electro-vital fluid circulating in the nervous system. Various experiinc its on dumb animals exhibits its shocking power to agonize and kill. A single drop of its condensed oil. would take the life of the hardiest inan accustomed to its use. Its next fearfu! work is seen in the Mood. It reaches the circula-* tion by the absoibents of the mouth. It reaches it also by the process of respiration. As the blood arrives at tbo lungs to exchange gases with tho air, the particles of oil floating in the smoko of tho cigar or pipe, are inhaled into the circulation, and deposited in every part of the system. Put a victim of this habit into a hot bath, let full and free respiration arise, then drop a tly into that water, and it dies at the instnn' of contact.?Medical World. Carrying a Vkrdict by Strataoem.? The following plan is stated to have been pursued bv some officials at the late Worcester sessions, (England,) to hasten the decision of a refractory jury, who were locked up to consider their verdict: 44 It was past supper time, and the Court officials had no relish to pass the night in waiting upon the 12 good men who were so excessively conscientious. A large dish of beef-steaks, fried with onions, giving off a bodv of aroma sufficient to fill the largest hall in England, was brought into the passage close to the door of the unhappy jurymen s piison. The Bailiff, who wished the 44 stand-outs " at Jericho'opened the door ; the cover was taken off the dish ; the arotna of the steaks and onions floated in ; it invaded and pervaded every square inch of the Black Hole, and the jury's nasals were violently affected. Mere mortal Englishmen could not long stand out against such a remembrance of supper. A second opening of the door and an advancement of the dish enabled the jury to find a verdict. Whiskey. ? A merchant in our city, says the Columbia South Carolinian, sold a barre! of whiskey to a customer, and it seems it has goiten him into trouble, as no doubt it did many who drank it. Upon being called on to pay for it, the following reply was received : Der Sir, I Received your letter a few days a go and I am a shame of il but Der sir pleas Wait till the last of December and 1 will Corn down to Columbia and setel Willi you Der sir you roto to me to send it in a leter I Wood do so if bad it Der sir that Whi.-kcy Cost me more than I made on it I look a trip over in to newbery and leff a man to tend to seling of it tell I Came home and lie plade the Duce he sole a Botle fool of Whiskey Which Cosed me to Bo in dited so that Disabled me seteling with you at the time I ought to tho god giv helth -you sIihI have your mone this Winter [ Wood Coin sooner hut I ain overseeing so Cant get off no sooner an so I Beg your pardon.

A gentleman is one who treats everybody with respect, whether ho be black or while, low or high, poor or rich, lie does not bow to wealth, scrape his knees iu honor, nor hold his tongue when he sees wickedness in high places. lie desires to make every one happy around him, and never gives just catiso of offence to any one. You always receive from him a civil answer to your inquiry, and he kindly imparts to you any information in his power, lie will not say a word to injure your feelings, or allude to a subject to pain your heart. Whatever may be done, he will not manifest angry feeli.:g.?, or use unbecoming language. He uses no profane or indecent words, smokes no cigars in your presence, nor spits tobnc co juice an your floors.

Thr death of Eugene Sue, the novelist, nnd author of " The Mysteries of Paris," ' Tlio Wandering Jeer," ?kc.. famous and exciting books in their dav, has created a sensation across the channel. But although an ardent advocate of the poor, he <vns himself n luxurious dandy, lie always wrote in kid gloves; bad his mosey washed before he handled it: had hi* hair dressed twice a day ; gave grnnd banquets ; lived en Prince ; dressed and scented himself to extremes, and yet never looked, with his bull-neck and brawny shoulders, liko a gentleman,? Had be been a " man," with his genius ho might have done something. As it was, he said: into nothingness tho moment he was elected to the National Assembly. 1 ?? h?l i ? Moiimoxism.?Elder Ilvde, lalo a Mormon prophet, recently delivered, to a small audicnco at the Academy of Music, New York, an interesting lecture on Mormonism. He gave some curious particulars of tho Mormon creed, mode of initiation and prac| lice, told some queer stories of Brigham 1 i oung s power among the Saint?, and said | that of his style of oratory Henry Ward Beecher was a wondeiful counterpart. He expressed the opinion that the steps taken by the Government, in sending out soldiers and judges, will be of little utility in suppressing Mormoniam, as the Mormons will gain more recruits than the soldiers, and the judges will have no cases brought before them to try. The Wat to Win a Simple Woman's Love.?Let your hair hang in superfluous ringlets over your neck and shoulders ; never suffer a razor to touch your face; squeeze yourself into a coat of mulberry cloth ; put on a vest striped with green yellow, and red pants, checked with blue, crimson and purple ; shove your feet into a pair of hoots with the heels at least three inches high ; dangle a little black cano, tipped with brim; a huge brass ring upon your finger, and you will be the lion of the day, and win tho heart of any simple flirt you meet with. The N. Y. Mercury says that there are no " little girls" now. The sex jump from infancy to young womanhood. They talk of marriage at ten, and nt fifteen have families. A tiny creature recently swore, at Detroit, that that she was " over fourteen" in order to persuade a justice to tie the martiage knot; hut it turned out thai she had placed the figure fourteen in her boots, that she might not peijuie herself. Cupid is a sly dog. Both young and old become partners iu his gentle duplicity. Bitten by a Rattlesnake.?'The Connellsville (Da.) Enterprise says that Mr. G. W. Shaw, of that place, was bitten in the band by a large rattlesnake, whereupon ho immediately put his hand to his mouth, and succeeded, by sucking, in extracting the greater portion of tho poison from the wound. His arin was swollen consi<Wol.l?? ~V ? but he is now out of danger. This is a simple remedy, and should be borne in tniud when others aro not at hand. A Rocking Stone.? A Ban Antonio (Texas) paper says that about six miles east of Goliad, on a branch of tho ManahuilU, there is a rocking stone of huge flint rock, weighing ten or flfieeu tons, which is so nicely balanced that it may be rocked like a cradle by a touch of tho hand ; yet tho might of a hundred men would not suffice to move it from its pluco. When struck, it rings with a loud clear sound, which Is repeated as if it were struck twice. An old lady from the country, had a dandy from the city to dine with her on a certain occasion. For the desert there was an enormous apple pie. " La, ma'am," said the gentleman, "how do jou manage to handle such a pie?" " E;wy enough," was the quiet reply ; " we make the crust up in a wheelbarrow, wheel it under an apple tree, and then shake the fiuil dowu into it." Mrs. lit/bbs always had a full house. Two years ago she used to collect lobsterbacks, oyster shells, and steak-bones, and .1 e -?-L miun mem iii irum ?i mo aoor, anil advertine for boarder*. Tlie bait always tool;, and the old lady now indulge* in a three* story domicil door plato, and case. Landladies having a banketing after these latter things, will do well to runke a note, Education is a companion which no misery can depress?no crime can desuoy?no enemy cau alienate?no desjiotism can enclave. At home a fiiend, abroad an introduction?in solitude a solace?in society an ornament. It chastens vice: it guidea virtue; it gives a grace and government to genius. Without it what is man! A splendid slave : a reasoning savage. Inquest.?On the 16th instant, (says the I Keowee Courier,) an inquest was held over i the dead body of Adaline Grey, in this Di* trict. The jury was ettibfcrtneled by J. 0. O. Kiuse, E?q., in the absence of the Coroner. The verdict of the Jbry was that she came to her death from want of medical attention and proper nursing.
