rare unoo| the European scholars, espe
cially ilio#e of Germany. Of some of these
imb the e pet toes works seem scarcely
credible) end yet, when wo compere them
wkh their endless, perpetoel diligence, the
-wonder ceases. Take, for en Instauoo, the
following focts, which ere tethered from
the lift ef Heyne, who by no meope torpast*
<s many of hie cotemporariet in Germany,
cither In the extent of hie attainments, or
the voluminousneet ef hb works.
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,
