r; man i r'' SEttCCLANEUM AND POHPEII IN 1339. I Herculaneum and Pompeii seem both i very distant from the focus of Vesuvius. < They are now separated from it by inhab- i itants and cultivated spaces, which have been conquered from the iava and recov- < ered from the volcano. The village of i Portici is built upon the roofs of the first I ot those two cities, which was petrified on i the day of its death, and into the tomb i of which one-descen'ls as into a mine, by i a sort of shaft, ending at the theatre I Avere, it i9 conjectured, the inhabitants Were assembled when the eruption sur- i prised them. It was in 1639 that the I ruins of the city made their appearance < for the first time, in an excavation made i at random, which was resumed in 172*, 1 and finally organized in 1733, with ?d. i i i 'I'ho (lia^nvnrv nf the I miTilOIC Sliuuess. * ??v -v? j theatre and of every thing else has taken i place since that period. The theatre is j T Greek architecture; it is ornamented with a fine front, and with marble collimns standing on the stage itself; the spectators occupied twenty-one rows of si ens, with a gallery above embellished -with bronze statutes. One can still distinguish the places allotted to the magistrates, the scene behind which the actors withdrew, and a number of objects which excite in the traveller mingled astonishment and emo ition. There is also at Herculaneum a rforum surrounded with porticos and temples, which are almost all of them damaged, and a gaol with old rusty iron tbars, to which the prisoners were chained ?a melancholy feature of all times and places, and a monotonous emblem of human society at all periods. As you leave i these excavations, which have as yet J made little progress, and cannot he much j ??* J ?.*1 ? ln.nrnrinir th?? finfplv ' I'Xienneu wiuumi cinmu^.i,.^ , of Portici, you distinctly perceive several strata of lava, proving beyond a doubt that Herculaneuin was drowned in repeat-i ed eruptions of Vesuvius. The difficulty of carrying on the excavations at so great a depth, and under the very foundations of a new town, has caused the ruins of Herculancuni to be almost abandoned for those of Pompeii, which present a far more striking inter- I est. At Herculaneum there are only cat- j i a combs. At Pompeii the Romans entire- ! Jy revive; the houses stand and are fur- I nibbed and ornamented with picturesque . paintings, the cellars are stocked as well j as the tables; in more than one dwelling i the dinner has been found on the table, < and the skeletons of the guests around it, i and then you enter every where on the < same floor; and as the ashes, which lie i but a few melres thick upon the ancient j buildings, are cleared, tho town appears, i as ours come to light again when the < now melts in mountainous count, ies? j You arrive by a suburb wholly lined with < Roman toinba, and walk over a Roman i pavement, worn out by Roman vehicles; j you may ente^r tile inn; there are the stables, with the rings to fasten the horses; close by is the farrier, with his sign* ?.??.. If von oenefrate into one i U? Wl 1110 UVWM J ? ? r- - of these tomhs, you will find urns con- | taining ashes, hair, and fragments of cai- J cined bones. Every where are displayed I inscriptions, unaffected, and touching, such as the epitaph dedicated by a woman i to ber husband : 44 Servilia, to the friend j of her soul." Let us advance ; we are | in the town. To the right of the gate i you behold the guardian's sentry box cut < into the stone. Take the footway, for j there are footways at Pompeii, Roman i footways, with pasts at intervals on both sides, footways whorein one ceases not j to gaze on wheel ruts, made 1800 years ; ago. Whom do vou wish to he taken to! You have but to speak?the names are written on the door of every house in large red letters. Here is an apotheca ry's shop, with his drugs in phials, with surgical instruments, and balsams still yielding a smell. Here are far different ? L..I ? -- 4f P ntrtp uaii Kntro iningS, UUl lily lauu ; uuioi| j*'u iiu?i. nothing to foar; but I dare not tell where you are, unless you have, perceived the sign over the door. What think you of it ? and yet facing one of those houses stands a temple of Vestn. Let us, then, pay a few visits; we are in n baker's shop, and here is the flour- < grindstone?suppose a stone sugar-loaf, i covered with an extinguisher also of atone?rub the one against the other, af- i ter throwing some corn between them, and you have a Roman mill. This | wretched piece of machinery was en- I trusted to the hand of slaves. But I have i reserved a surprise for you ; here is some bread?do you read the baker's name i hollowed out of that carbonized pancake ? take and break it. Open that cupboard ; I you will find there preserved olives, dried I lintels, and eatables of all descrip- i tions. A saucepan has been carried to i the Naples Museum, containing a piece or meal, as well preserved as by Mr. Appeal's process. What a number of meals - ' l it i C \ J ? Vesuvius interrupted on uiai woiui nay i I, nevertheless do not think that the Romans were great eaters. I have carefully explored a number of kitchens and dining rooms at Pompeii, and I have found, even in the richest houses, but very trifling cooking apparatus, and min. iature table utensils. Their plates were real saucers, and the tables upon which the dinner was served up, but little stands, jjn general of stone or marble, which could bold but one dish at a time. The guests lay down as soldiers round their mess. What is admirable, delightful, charming, overwhelming, to us barbarians of the nineteenth century, is the exquisite pureness and delicacy of shape of all the uten*ila which served the Romans in domestic life# One must see those candelabras, lamps, vises of all sizes, those charming little bronze calefactors, (for every thing wts of bronze,) those tripods, scales, beds, chftire, those graceful and so ingeniously wrought shields which AH up whole rooms it the Naples Museum. One must, (i r> ' . * . above all, see the toilet arsenal of the Ro- i man Indies?their combs, tooth-picks, I curling-irons, and the pots of vegetable, ; and mineral rouge found in a boudoir.? < Thus the Roman ladies used rouge and | Jeceived the people, just as is practised < now-a-davs; they wore, like our ladies, those necklaces, rings, and ridiculous ear- I rings, which add nothing to beauty, and diminish not ugliness. How times rejemble one another, in spite of the space that separates them. Above thirty streets of Pompeii are now estored to light; it is a third part of the town. The walls which formed its an:ient enclosure have been recognized; a magnificent amphitheatre, a theatre, a forum, the temple of Isis, thnt of Venus, and a number of other buildings, have been cleared. The secret stairs by which the priests of those times slily crept to prompt the oracles, have been detected. On beholding so many monuments which display in so lively a manner the importance of public and the independence of private life among the Romans, it is impossible to resist a feeling of sadness and melancholy. Behold, along the fall of earth, the vestige of the breast of a woman who was buried alive, and stiffened by leath?behold the stones of that well, worn by the rubbing of the ropes?exam, ine that guard house, covered with cari. eatures of soldiers?one might suppose that the Roman people still existed, and that we were hut strangers in one of their towns. Who knows what future discov. eries may be made in those august ruins! Vfurat employed upon them 200 men every year. Only 60 men and ?1000 are now employed upon them. The ex. cavations proceed, in consequence, with dismal slowness, however great mavhe the interest which bis Sicilian Majesty takes in their success. It is not in Rome < ?devastated and disfigured Rome?th ?i one must go to study the Romans?it is in Pompeii. Pompeii, as regards antiquities, is worth all Italy together. [From the Temperance Advocate.] DARMXGTON COURT HOUSK, 8. C. Mr. Editor:?As yoy have, most use. fully toihe public, and, I trust, profitably to yourself, converted your journal into a Semi-Agricultural, I take the liberty of forwarding to you for publication, the subjoined draft of a hill, which I propose to bring before the Legislature, at its next Session. During the last winter, I broached the general principle, of exempting real estate from levy and sale under exe. cution ; hut the bill not being reached in the regular call of the Calendar, and feel, mg indisposed, especially as I was a new member, to call up for consideration out af its regular order, so novel a proposition in the history of our legislation, I had no opportunity of perfecting the details, and developing the character of the measure according to my ideas of the plan. Had the measure been considered, [ should have sought, by amendments, to make it conform in its provisions to this, which I now submit to the consideration of the public, as well as to the members of the Legislature. The details, no doubt, may i>e improved. 1 Without stopping to inquire, how far it night he politic in the State to exempt n some degree, her agricultnral domain, from the vortex of speculation, and to mofy and control the commercial tendencies if her former legislation, it may not be improper briefly to state the oluects of the proposed measure. > It is not a grand scheme of splendid aims, and magnificent expenditure, such ' ? * ?' ? L? J m have too otten dazziea ana aisappomieu our citizens ; nor has it the teeoimnendation of a connexion with party politics, by which many a measure otherwise un important is sometimes puffed into grandeur, and its author into greatness. It is an humble, and I hope may prove, a successful effort to improve practically the interests and happiness of the State, in in her common and every day concerns, by protecting the domicil and farm of the hardy yeoman and his family, from the 9trong and injurious tendencies of former legislation. I am content, in my humble sphere, to labor for such an object, and leave the walks of greatness, and schemes of grandent, to others of more gifted endowments?happy, if by anv instrumentality of mine, the interests of the country, and the happiness of my fellow.cit'zens, may be advanced.?That the measure proposed would have that tendency, I have been, after much reflection on the subject, * * * 1 f inaucea 10 oeneve. 1. It will check emigration?and thereby add to the population of the State. Without some such measure, the pre-emption system of Congress in reference to the public lands, together with the temptation of a rich soil?will continue to drain the State of her hardy sons. I do not pretend that the pre-emption system is wrong, but I think it consistent with the true interest of South Carolina to counteract its tendency in drawing off her citizens. 2. It will improve the character of our population, by establishing and fostering a class of honest ycomannry, with those feelings of patriotism and independence, which result from permanent settlements and interest in the soil. 3. It will assist in the developement of ' I... Z I Z our agricultural resources, oy inducing many of our poor, but industrious citizens, to improve small farms, with a certain prospect, that the comforts and means of subsistence, thereby provided for their wives and children, will be enjoyed by them beyond contingency. And here, I might add, that it would be an act ofsober justice to such wives and children, inasmuch as it would be, in a great measure, but establishing upon them, the works of their own hands. 4. It would add to the happiness of the community, not only in the way just named but likewise hv inducing families to build better and more comfortable habitations xnd other necessary tenements, and by freeing them from the harrassing anxieties ind apprehensions of being turned out of Joors by a Sheriff: And thus too, the general wealth and appearance of the country, would be advanced. I might add many other considerations to show the tendency of the measure towards the general result stated ; but they will suggest themselves, and I forbear. The principle of the bill has already been recognized in the act of 1823?referred to in the bill itself, and proposed to be amended. Surely, if no complaint arises Tor exempting goods and chattels from levy and sale, uone ought to be made as to a similar exemption of the homestead of families, particularly when it is recollected that the State has never sold her soil, hut generously gave it to her citizens. One or two of the Western States have already, 1 believe, adobted similar measures. By inserting these suggestions, together with the draft of a bill accompanying them, in your journal, you will oblige yours, dec. A. D. Sims. A BILL.

Stf PROSPECTUS OP X THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S BOOKT Or Magizine of USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE. There are many periodical publication*. yet one more is wanted. The friend* of-general Education?the advocate* of the diffusion of Useful knowledge?have long desired to *ee tbo coinme ricement ofa monthly magazine devoted to the instruction and entertainment ofYounj persons of both sexes, .conducted with' Ml* view to their improvement in Literature, sci&ce, and the conduct of life, written, not in the colloquial language which is addrasse#to- vory young children, but with such attention to tbo s yle as shall render it worthy the notice of theso who are acquiring the art of forming their Literary taste; and filled with such various, original, anu valuable matter as shall render thw volumes when bounn up, worthy a place in the Family or School Library. It is the purpose of The Young People*! Book to furnish mcii a Magazine. Ho has provided ample means for the accomplishment of hie nbjoct; and he pledges himself to the friends of liberal and judicious education throughout the United States that he will produce a work which shall be in every respect worthy of their attention and patronage. There is a period in the progress from early childhood to maturity, and that by fin means a short one, during which the expanding minds of young aro seeking in every direction for useful knowledge, as well as intellectual entertain* ment. ' Everv book, paper or pamphlet which prom* i>es either, is eargerty read, and every circle or society ofa literary or scientific east is earnestly sought. During this period the young person is not satisfied with that kind of instruction which is given to mere children.. Something more elevated?something nearer the stodfes ana parsuits of active life is required. A friesd alw ya at hand who could point out the proper studies to be pursued, the true methods of devel. opemcnt in Literatuie and Science, the best course of Reading, the surest processes of Investigation, the most recent authorities in Expert* mental, and the most learned in Historical research?a friend who could relipvs the drynew of abstract truth by a familiar anecdote, nsfrativa A or illustration?who could scatter a few races cf literature in the ragged paths of severe science* would indeed be invaluable. Such a frh-nd not one Youth in a thousand, ai either sex, can have. There is no teterabla substitute to be found in any book we n ight say in any library. It is proposed in seme meat, lire to supply the want of such a friend in Tim Young People's Book. One of the leading objects of the werk will ha to point out and illustrate by practical exsmple* the proper methods of self instruction in tha various departments of Literature and Art, t# suggest appropria'e departments of study and inquiry, to prescribe courses of Reading, and ta indicate the progress wl.kli im<y be made in the Sciences, so tar as the limits of the work will allow. The form* into which the different branches of iuslruetihn and entertainment wi 1 i e thrown* will be regulated by the particular object in viow at the sam<, anil the eLts 01 readers always addressed. Essays, Narratives, Ai ec.-'otes. Tales. Hist#, rieal Reminiscences and Sketches, Critiques* Descriptive articles in Geogsraphy, Geology Natural History, Antiquities and Travels* Biographical Notices & Poems will all in turn become ti e vehicl s of intollcctual developement and eniertai moot.
