SALUDA.
Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.

L
WAsnINGToN, Oct. 10.
The political cast of Pennsylvania has
no doubt undergone change. The
Whigs here expected a Waterloo defeat
of their ticket for the Legislature and Ca
nal Commissioners, and they will not be
disappointed.
Some Of the Whig papers undertake
toaccount for the late popular demo .ra-
tions against the Administration and the
Wing party. Certain it is that most Of
the elections for Congress since March
fourth have gone against them. The
Democrats attribute this to an alIedged
transfer, by Gen. Taylor, of his power
and duties and Judgment to his cabinet;
to alleged administrative errors, and to an
alleged Inconsistency between the acts
after, and the professions before the cleo
ton of President. But the Wings say
that it is owing to an injudicious use of
the Executive patronage, whereby the
administration has been weakened, in
stead of strengthened The New York
Courier d. EaQui,er hints that there is
too much nepotism in the distribution of
office. ur
Gen. Taylor will probably commence
his second tour on the l1th. 1t has been
asked how he can leave public affairs?
The answer is that he does not leave
them. He can give an order in Boston
as well as in Washington. He signed
the Cuba Proclamation in Harrisburg
Gen. jackson issued the order for the re-
moval Of the depositcs while in Boston,
onhis grand tour.
Purser Bcale arrived here, the other
day, with dispatches from California 1t
is now quite certain that State Consti-
tuition will be formed and Senators in
Congress chosc.., and Representative
The illness of Thos. Butler King will be
much regretted.
There has been much remark here up
on the attack made in the "Union" upon
Mr.. Ewing, relative to an alleged promise
by him of an Office to Douglas, the Flo
rist, in consideration of obtaining house
from Douglass at a low rent. 1t attract
cd more attention here than gossip usual
ly does, because it was known that Doug
lass had authorised the publication in the
"Union" and presented the facts, and Of
fered to prove them. A vindication of
Mr.. Ewing is, therefore, looked for. 1t
will probably turn out, upon investigation,
that Mr.. Ewing was committed by the
indiscrction of his agents TO whom he left
all the details of his business.
We had rumor, some time ago, that
Mr. Ewing would not object to going to
Russia ms Minister For some reason un-
explained, the Cabinet have left that mis-
sion open. We have no diplomatic rep
rosentative there, and cannot have till
next spring, even if an appointment be
made now. 1t is quite important that
the President should appoint some one
who will be likely to pass the ordeal of
the Senate.

MULTUM IN PARVO.

WHAT'S life? A vital spark, brief
span, breath suspended bya single
hair between heavens fair fields and the
fathomless abyss Of mortal misery and
despair; Pickering meteor that shines
awhile and then goes out
What is Joy? 'ris the well-spring of
pleasure: a messenger of peace, price
less thing, a hallowed dream.
What is grief? The cxcning of pleas
ure; the deep and sombre feelings of re-
gret; the child of sorrow.
What is fame? An cnvious name; a
theme for devils: the parent of envy,
jealousy and rage.
What is sin? The son of Satan, twin
brother of death, the father of corrup-
ton.
What is religion? The pilot of the
soul to the bright fields of heaven; a com
munication with the saints of light.
What is love? an incXprcssiblc thing; a
volume in word an ocean in a tear;
seventh heaven in a glance; whirlwind
in sigh.
What is truth? 1t is that principle
which emanates from the throne of the
Deity; the great champion of the rights of
man.
What is happiness? An unseen thing
golden dream of pleasure; the Chris
tian's great desidcratum
What is death? A sleep; rest from
earth's tolls and cares: a separation of the
soul from the tenement of lay.
What is immortality? An undying
name; an everlasting home for the re-
deemed sons of light.-Dol. Newspaper

THE COURSE OF LIFE.

Translated rRoh TIE sPAsisH.
OF lei its slumber break,
Arouse It's senses and awake,
To see how soon,
Life with lis elories, glide. away,
And the Stern looIslep oil Decay
Comes stealing on.
How pleasure, like the passing wind,
plows by, and leaves US nought behind
But grief at last;
How still our present happiness
Seems 10 the hayward fancy, less
Than wha' is pas;
Our lives like has'enine streams must BE-
That INTO one enguhDg sea
Are doomed III tall;
The Sea OF Death whose waves roll Oh,
Ger king and Kingdom, crown ana 'n1one'
And swallow all.
Alike The rivers lordly tide.
Alike the humble riv'lets snioe
To the sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by siae
Within the grave.
Our birth is but the starting place,
Life is the running OF The race,
And death The goal;
There all our steps al last are brought,
TEal path alone, Of all unsoueht,
Is iound Of all.
Where is the strength that Knocked decay,
The step that rose So light and gay,
The hearts bliihe lone2
The strength is gone, the step rs SLOW,
And Joy grows WEAKNESS and woe
When age comes on.
Say, then, how poor and lille worth
Are all those giltlerug toys OF earth,
That lure rs here;
Dreams OF a sleep that death must break,
Alasl before il bios Us wake,
Yet disappear.
