LETTER OF HON. JOHN G. CALHOUN,
FORT HILL, July 9, l849.
DEAR Sir:
am greatly obliged to you for a
copy of tho proceedings of your meeting. ]
have read it with great deal Of pleasure.
You ask me for my opinion. as to the course
which should be adopted by the State conven>
ton, in October next I have delayed answer
inp your letter until this time, that | might
more fully notice the developments at the
north, before gave it. They are more and
more adverse to Os every day. There has not
been a single occurrence since the rising OF
Congress, which does not indicate on the part
of the north fixed determination to push the
abolition question to the last extreme.
In my opinion there is but one thing that
holds out the promise of saving both ourselves
and the Union and that is a Southern conven'
ton, and hat,i much longer delayed, cannot
1t ought to have been held this tall, and ough
not to be delayed beyond another year. /
our movements ought to look to that result
For that purpose every Southern State ought tc
be organized, with a central committee, anC
one in each county. Ours is already. 1t il
indispensable to produce concert and Dromp
action. In the meantime, firm and resolutt
resolutions ought to be adopted by yours anc
such meetings, as may take place, before the
assembling OF the Legislature in the fall
They, when they meet, ought to take up tht
subject in the most solemn and impressive
manner.
The great object Of Southern convention
should he to put forth in solemn manner tht
causes of our grievances in an address to thu
other States, and to admonsh them in a soleml
manner as to the consequences which mus
follow if they should not be redressed, and Il
take measures preparatory to it in case the.
should not be. The call should be addressed
to all those who desire to save the Union AM
our institutions, and who in the alternative
should it be forced upon us, Of submission o
dssolvihg the partnership, would prefer til
latter,
No State could better take the lead in thi
great conservative movement than yours.
is destined to be the greatest sufferers if III
kaholitonsts should succeed; and I am nc
certain, but by the time your convention meet
or at farthest, your Legislature, that the tim
will have come to make the call.
With great respect, am, Re,
J.C. CALHOUN.

THE LOAVEs AND FIsHEs.

Our good natured contemporary OF the
Vicksburg Sentinel we fear is getting mad
We don't mean crazy. But just hear how he
talks OF his superiors of tine Mississippan
upon the subject OF division, and the right
of dictation. If any evidence were wanting
that lie is brave man, here it is.

The slady' writer's Of the abolition journals
are making very bitter assaults upon the prom
inent wings at Washington who are standing
by the constitution and the Union. A lady in
the last Liberator, has two addresses to Mr..
Clay and Mr.. Webster, the former Of whom
she charges with an utter want Of generosity
or justice in any of his great speeches. and the
latter with utter baseness.'
We will venture to predict that if that 'lady'
will devote her time to mending her husbands
stockings, and keeping her children's hands
and faces clean, she viii confer more happiness
upon the humun race than by writing for news
papers,
.Anoll lady once said to brave Sergeant
of NapoIean--'TeIl your Emperor have per-
feet conrempt for him. Il will Madam, res

bad it will make him feel.'

The Castles we BniIt in air.


There were builders strong on the earth of o!d,
To-day there are planners rare;
But never was temple, home, nor hold
Like the castle we built in the air.
We piled them bioh thro' the long lone hours
By chill hearth's Pickering brands,
Thro' the twilights heavy with wintry show
That found us in strange lands. Ters,
The store was small and tie friends were few
We own'd in those building days,
But stately and far the abtlcs grew
That no gold on eutth could raise;
For time was conquered aid fortune moved,
Our wishes were buildings there,
And oh! but there gather'd guests beloved
To the castles built in the air.
No place was left for the bonds and fears,
For the lore so sagely small,
OF this ginning world that wears our years
Away in its thankless thfall.
Once more we stood in the light that cross'd
OuI Suuls OH tHelI UlUInlHg LhCKA
And oh that we had not loved o r lost,
But ever the dream comes back!
1t was JOY TO pause by the pleasant hones
That our wand'iing steps have pass'd,
Yet weary looks through the woodbine blooms
Or wreathng vines were cast.
But there fell no age and there rose no strife
And there never was room for care,
Where grew The flowers of our dreaming life
By the homes that we built in air.
Oh! dark and lone have the bright hearth
grown
Where our fond and gay hearts met,
For many have changed, and some are gone
But we build the bIthe homes yet;
AS men have builtin the date trees shade
Ere Egypt raised her fanes,
Ere star was named, or brick was laid
On the old Chaldean plains.
Even thus have they framed the towers &
thought
As the ages came and went,
J From the fisher boy in the Shetland boat,
To the Tartar in his tent
And some that beyond our azure say
There are realms for hope and prayer
Have deem'd them but line'rngs by the way,
These castles we build in air.

LETTER CT THE HON. W. C. RIVES.
An interesting letter from this distinguished
gentlemen, now minister to France appears
in the Charlottesville A dvocate, in reference
to the unfortunate difficulties that now ag-
tate the public mind and distracts the councils
Of the Nation.
We give a courle OF extracts:
"The position which the saveholding States
should occupy is an impregnable one, by its
simplicity as well as self evident justice, -
A bsolute nonntervention on the part Of Cons
gress should be our motto-no Wilmot provi~
so no legislation whatever by Congress, either
to prohibit or to introduce slavery in the new
territories. Leave then 10 the natural and
spontaneous courle of things, and to the peo~
pie who may settle the country the unimpaired
liberty, when the time arrives, to establish a
permanent government for themselves. to ex-
clude or Kermit slavery--as to them may seem
good and as it will then be their unquesliona-
BILE right freely to decide. If we go beyond
this, and demand of Congress any action what
ever in aid Of the establishment of slavery in
any portion Of the territories in qustion, we
abandon the great principle Of non>nterven'
ton, which aon constitutes our safety and
the invncble justice Of our cause"
"There is one wish, however, which
could humbly form, and that is, that all my
counlrymen, to whatever State, section or par
ty they may belong, could view this vital ques
ton from a foreign land, with the quick
ened American sympahies which such poin
of view rarely fails to begeti and then the,
would pronounce with one voice that every
thing is comparatively worthless and con
temptible which stands in the way Of the pre-
servaton of that glorious Union, one and in
divisible, which has protected our liberty an
independence, developed our prosperity an
aud greatness, and made us what we hav
hitherto been. and, but ior the sinister CLIQUE
raised by the breath of civil discord, we shoul
at this moment, more than ever be the wond'
the admiration, and the study of the world

WHAT IS DIRr?--Old Dr.. Cooper, Of South
Carolina, used to say to his students, Don't
be alraidiof little dirt, young gentlemen. Why
nothing at all is offensive when chemically
viewed. Rub lrle akali upon that 'greese
spot on your coat, and it undergoes a chem
ical change, and becomes soap Now rub il
with little water and it disappears; ii is
neither soap grease, water nor dirt. That
is not very odorous pile Of Dirt you observe
there, Well scattera little gypsum over it
and it is no longer dirty. Everything you call
dirt, is worthy notice your as students Of chem
srry. Analyse il! Analyae it! It will all
separate into very clean elements
Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread and
meat and that makes very sweet young lady
| saw you kissing last night. So, after all
you were kissing dirt-particularlly if she
whitened her skin with chalk or Fuler's earth
There is no telling, young gentlemen, what
is dirt. Though l may say that rubbing
such stuff upon the beautiful skin Of young
lady, is dirty practice Pearl powder,
think, is made Of bismuth--nolhing but dirt,

A startling ascovery, confrmatOry Of the
truth of the book of Jonah, has been made by
Mr.. Layord. In excavating the city OF Nine
veh, he discovered the name Of Jonah inscribed
upon the ruins. That prophet, as our readers
know, was sent TO announce to the people Of
Nineveh the destruction Of the city, His elo-
quence converted many Of them, and "GOd
repented him Of the doom He had pronounced,
and spared the city for that time. Jonah then
became the prophet Of Nineveh, and was rev.
erenced by the inhabitants. AZ was the
Oriental custom, they doubtless inscribed bis
name in conspicuous places onthe walls Of the
public edfces, and the inscriptions engraved
by AssyriOn hands a thousand years before the
christian era, have been found by Mr.. Laya,d.
This is one o. the most extraordinary demons
STATIONS Of the accuracy of biblical history We
ever heard of.
Az yet we have only seen the beginning OF
the end. The city Of Ninevah has scarcely YET
been entered, and when the excavation shall
have been completed, if Mahomotan ieaIo usy
should ever permit the cOnsummatiou, we may
expect illustrations of the prophecies that will
strike the world with awe and wonder.
Great credit is due to the British government
for the muuifcent spirit they have exhibited III
ailing the labors of Mr., Layard-- placing at his
command vessels for the navigation Of the Eua
Prates, conveying to England the magnificent
sculptures which he has dsentombed, and
aiIording him every facility which money or
British authority could secure. We should be
glad to see a similar spirit exhibited by the
government of this country, in reference Il

The senate of the United States.

A glance at the Senate of the United States Will
show an array of talent and patriotism seldom equal
led, and we believe exceled. 1t is seldom in
deed that any deberatve body has ranked among its
members five such men as CAss, CLAY, CALHOUN,
WEBSTER and BENTON No body of lawgivers in the
world can enter into the remotest competition; and
perhaps ages may elapse before even the U. s. Sen
ate will afford such display Amid the conflict OF
parties, of intnrAsts and the fanatcism of
sections the gravity and influence of the Senate is
looked to to assuage anmosities and conclate differ
ences and feel the utmost confidence in its inter-
position at the present crisis While the Senate re-
mains we feel but little anxiety for the Union.

Fire at sca-seventy Lives Lost.

The New York papers contain an account of the
burning of the Ship Caleb Grimshaa on her way from
Liverpool to New York with nearly four hundred
passengers on board 1t seems that fire was discov-
cred in the hold of the ship on the 18th of Novem-
ber The CONSERVATION of the passengers became
terrible. Some of them crowded into the quarter
boats, and filled one of them full that she swamped
and all on board os her were drowned.
raft constructed from the spars and planks on
deck was taken possession of by sixty of the strong
est passengers, who cut it loose from the ship 1t
was soon out of sight and not again seen AS it
blew very heavily the succeeding day. the certainty
is, that all on the raft persisted
The boats were then filled with all the persons thew
could hold and were kept in tow five days and nights
when the British Barque Sarah Cook came in sight
and took them all aboard. They were carried into
Fayal. The Captain and seven of the passengers
