Heyne eras the son of a weaver, in thtj xnoet abject poverty. The Instinct ef knowledge seems, from the earilett child, hood, to have Impelled him Irmltahly to study. Placed at school by the reluctant charity of a very sordid protector, he gave himself to study with a seal which set. at naught the fiercest sufferings of warn, that continually verged upon absolute starvation. Ills life, op to the term even when the ncutc and liberal encomium ot a learned friend gained the notioft of the minister, and a professorship atGottingen,waanothing but a continued conflict with obecurity and wnnt, the most hopeless that could be. He lived to the age of 86, and foe at least 70 year* must have studied and lectured upwards of 14 hours a day. The following listofhia works will not, therefore, seem extraordinary t He published learned and copious edi tions of Homer, of Virgil, and of Pindar, of Apollodorus Rhodius, of Cotton end Parthe nius, end of Pliny, the Natural Historian. Of translations, he gave to the world a foil cart-load; among others, from the English, Guthrie and Gray's Universal History with large and very valuable additions. Besides these, we have his Prolusions, Eulogies Essays, See. 6 large vols. After these come his " Opuscule" in 6 vols, which contain many of his most valuable perfor mances. We were well aware that the circulation j in Francc of eheap editions of Voltaire end Ho?emu, was enormous; but we never met i with any exact information upon the subject till the other day. As our readers will find the subject curious, we annex the state ment. Of Voltaire*' entire works, were publish ed from 1817 to 1824, 31,600 setts, making 1,598,000 volumes. Of Kocscau's entire works, during the tame period, 24,500 setts, making 480,000 volumes. Of the dctachcd works of Voltaire and Hosscau, 35,500 setts, 87,000 volumes. Next to these the Novels of Pigiult Le Brun have the greatest popularity. Of these were published 33,000 setts, 126,000 volumes.

COMMUNICATIONS. M The country, that itnot worth improving, is not worth living in." Gen. William*' Sfteec/i. The decline of the prosperity of Charles ton may be attributed to abtientetUm and a want of native enterprize; the effects produced toy these causes should be consid ered together; they combine and rest on each other and producc accumulated evils By the modem term ab*cntuinmt it is in tended to express that state of things, where the wealth made in one placc is ex pended in another without any return : itc enectsare toimpovcrish the one and cnrich the other. Thus Ireland is the land of pro duction and England of expenditure; the wealth of the one is expendtd in the other, and Ireland has grown poor while England has grown rich. Charleston is as unfortu nate as Ireland; her citizens annually ex pend much of their income at the north, from whence it never returns. There are no reacting causes, which bring it back It Is entirely unlike that intercourse, which takes place between parts of the same com munity, where at one season of the year wealth flows to a particular point, and at another season a reflux take* place, and thus a perfect equilibrium is preserved; where all that is accu*?"t~?~? to Mt'HtVU in the general masa and the whole commu nity giMlually grows more wealthy without rendering any part of it morefioor. To il lustrate this Idea by example: some of the cltisens of Charleston, during the summer and autumn visit the interior of the state and expend there a portion of their incomes. During the rest of the year tills is gradual I |y flowing back to the city, and while the whole community in some extent may be growing more wealthy, each part retains its due proportion of accumulation. This is a healthy state of things; but it is not produced, when the cltiscns of Charleston expend large sums at the north; there is then no corresponding return \ instead of being visited by northerners, who come to expend ?nd replace that, which has been drained from us, we are visited only by those, whose object it Is to accumulate with out expending, and on their departure to catry all their accumulations with them. For past ages this has drained Charleston of its capital, bulsness of the city has been conducted by Grangers, who remain in it only so long as may be necctsarv to rnske a fortune. A striking exemplifica tion 's presented in Mr. Kohne who lately tiled in Philadelphia; hi* fortune wan made m Chai lestnn, yet Pennsylvania and New York are enriched by hit munificence. We do not complain of Mr. Kohne, he had a right to live where he pleased and to bestow lii* acquisitions aa best suited his inclina tions or his caprice. But the fact points nut the cause of the declension of tho pros perity of Charleston and fully illustrate* the pernicious effects which result from the trade of a eity being left to the man agement of strangers; and it further proves that until the natives of Charleston shall assume that active industry and enterprise, which are adequate to the transaction of its own commercial concerns, the same drain of Ha wealth will continue, and the same depressing misfortunes will hang over It. The evil can be remedied only by a new sod invigorating energy Infused Int.* the native population, which may become equal to the tart of conducting the exten sive commerce, which Its peculiar and Ik' vored situation enables It to command; when thla shall take place* the accumela tion of itatrade will enrleh Charleston and not foreign countries or northern cities i and till thia 'toes take place, It Is vain to complahi?sneh eomplalnts are Ilk# those sf the sluggard, who replms at the p^oe* P?rky of hie Isieetslaei neighbor. We notice another cause of the declen sion of CharVeateu, the prevalence of that selfish seehsrtsd, whteh confines Its views lo.tho Umto uf the cltjr; this he* becn.un fortunately tl?e ?ih In iortkr tuuee and it U believed to not now -ritlreljr r?moved. Few In the elty have njr knowledge of Um Interior of the state, it* capabilities or the iUU of He lni|Mrwvement or civilisation, or Its Intimate csansctlon with the pros perity of Charleston, . A Charleston!?, when he exteodi his views beyond the untitle horizon of his own dwelling, gene rally takes the direction of New York, Ballstnn or the falls of Niagara. This en* tiro want of acquaintance with his own state Is accompanied with a perfect apatt.y on the (abject ot iu improvement; yet on the prosperity of the interior of South Caro lina does the elty depend. The country, the source ot its wealth, la neglected, and the interior commerce is diverted into oth er channels leading directly from it j thus Cheraw, which ought have been occupied by the young merchanta ot Charleston, and supplied by its ftinds, Is n mere tributa ry to the prospects of New York, minister Ingto its wealth and greatness. The very funds which a Charlestonlan has spent In the grand emporium, is sent to Hamburgh or Augusta and carries on a trade. In which Charleston has no participation. All this It owing to that indifference in the native population ot our city to every thing in the interior of our own state* which has here tofore ao strongly marked the great mas* of its inhabitants. This indifference should cease : Charleston should learn to appreci ate the country that supports it,?its capa city, its improvements and its comforts and sometimes visit it, even should it inter fere with a trip to the lakes. The change is Uking place, and the conviction is strong ly prevailing that Charleston has the sour ces ot its wealth in the Interior of the south, and that the stream must be conducted to it by the efforts of its own citizens. The con templated Rail Road to Augusta is an evi dence of this change, and if the inhabitants of Charleston should persevere and accom plish the undertaking, it may, and most probably will, restore the trade which has been rapidly leaving it, and may call into action the native cnergiea of the place? on their energies all must depend) if they are wanting, if to foreign zeal, and foreign skill and foreign entcrprize all ia to be entrusted, Charleston may have her rail road to Au gusta, and it will only bring wealth to her door to be distributed by foreign hands to more favored cities. We have been luad into these observa tion* from hearing that fears have been ex pressed that the ncctssary funds may not be raited to enable the company to go on with the Augusta rail road. If it fails, the failure mu*t be owing to the causes above noticed. Charleston possesses the means to accomplish the undertaking, and if they are withheld, it must be because they are destined to take another direction, or there must be a of confidence in the entei prizc. This latter can only be owing to a want of acquaintance with ib? ?? tain of Charlestons' pr.*peritv- " W" a,regularly from"-"?'???f'>??? tains flow to the ocean in the broad bed of the Savannah. If Charleston expccts to participate in the blessings of the Interior trade of the South, she must use the means to conduct its current to her; and there can be no doubt that the rail road is the best, I might almost say, the on ly means of effecting It?Let that fail, and Charleston fallt to rite no more, LBOAL DECISION*.
