The New York Daily Advertiser Of Fri
day contains the following extract fiom n
letter recently received by gentleman in
that city from friend in EIsineur. The
letter was dated 25th November
1.-THE epidemic which has prevailed in
different parts of Russia still continues !;
and very alarming circumstance is, that
when its course is supposed to have been
arrested at one point, it sometimes appears
at the distance of from 30 to so German
miles, passing over the immediate country
without affecting it. A post which recent
ly arrived from Moscow reported 300 new
cases which had appeared in one day; and
HOO appeared on the last day Of which we
have accounts by another post. The Their
mometer has been as low as $50 below zero
at Gehe in Sweden; and, Of course, in Rus
STA also The weather must have been very
co'd yet the disease is not checked. The
imperial court at st. Petersburg, were pre-
pared to retreat, in case of danger, to We
burg in Finland"

SOLEMN WARNING. A man who was
sometime since confined in Jail on a crmi-
nal charge, was released the l4th ult. and
while on his way home called at tavern in
uf"nby' and there drank several times of
sPirltnouS liquors. From the time he left
the tavern till last Tuesday he was not
seen; then he was found by the wall at the
roadside frozen to death. He had doubtless
drank to lntoxication. A friend has sug-
gested desire. that the sale of sp;rituoss
liquors OF all kinds might be prohibited at a
less price than a dollar dron Ne wish
the legislature would make it criminal Of
fence to sell repeated drams to any body,
more especially to men who happen to be in
their cups and confirmed drunkards There
IS no sight more revolving and no object
more, loathsome than drunken man, and
ne who knowingly contributes to the spec
tacle, deserves the harshest rebuke which
society can bestow upon him.

We publish by request, the following extract of a letter from citizen of this State but now in Geor- ga, to his friend in this place, which will bring be- fore the public the Southern Review, which we deem work of much merit
 The Southern Rerietc-'I am gratifed ts find an increasing disposition among the friends of correct principles, both in politics, morals, and literature, to encourage this valuable journal. It very deserv- edly occupies the front rank among the penodicas of this country The Editor, MT II. S. Legare, (pronounced Legre,) is the Attorney General of S.. Carolina, and confessedly the finest classical schQl lar in America In point of raried learning, he may be the inferior of Charles Butler, the Catholic Bar rister of London--and of Dr Thomas Cooper OPthe South Carolina College; both of whom consider to be the two most learned men living. lie Is, now evel, quite young man yet, and has not had the benefits of the Iucubrati0nis rigiat annorum, which these gentlemen have had. Dr Cooper is himself a contributor to this Review. The fact s, there IS more talent and far more honesty (which is great thing in Reviews nowadays) enlisted in the cause of the Southern Review, than in any other publica- ton of the day.
 The great and the crying evil in this our day, in the republic of letters is that the press IS rendered subservient to the f-pennybitjo jobbing speculat,ng ne,osmongers. It is degraded from its former high vocation of being auxiliary to the promotion of sci ence down to the low and sordd views of the mere
 
 been substituted fo rthe Platonian philosophy. We have pensioned scribers and pensoned presses. Men are hired, not to write what they think, but what suits the interest of their employers. The Review CT praises or condemns, as best subserves the views of ssme great publisher and bookseller. The first is paid for what he writes and the last gets his neration from the gmliibily which is inflicted upon the community. He is enabled to sell books which might perhaps moulder upon his shelves So vitiated has become the public taste, and so dependent the public mind in the northern parts of this Confedera cy and in Europe, that no new work and no new theory, however just it's claims may be, win it's way, unaided, to public favor. The deep broad notes of that great Cerberus of modern literature, the periodical press must beopened upon it before the dull gaze of the populace be pointed to its beau ties A knowledge of these facts has impressed me unfavorably with Reviews in general, but thank Cop, there are some independent presses. Among these humber the Westminster, in London, and the Southern Review in Charleston. This is emphati- cay the case with the Southern Review. It is the property of few distinguished gentlemen in South

We respectfully solicit the attention of the Post masters al Moulton and Decatur to the late circular letter ofthe Postmaster General, repubshed in our paper of the 18th inst It is unpleasant at any time to be notified by Postmaster that a subscriber de- clines receiving his paper; but it is really provoking to learn that we have been sending papers for months to persons who have removed to other places.
