Rave become satisfied that too much was con-
ceded in his times, and in the Ilad, to the power
of destiny, the power Of government, the power
of association over the fortunes Of men, and
that this was to admit that man was not under
God, the arbiter of his own fate--which is the
true idea of good religion and good govern
ment So he composed the Odyssey--the story
of man, an individual first separated from the
Greek Union, then from his own followers ana
left alone with nothing but the favor OF God Tor
counsel and support. Hence the Odyssey be-
gins
The man, for VISIONS various arts renowned,
Long exercised in woes, oh Muse resound
Wbo when his arms had wrought the destined
fall
or sacred Troy, and RACED her heaven-built
wall,
Wandering from cline to cline, observant
Their manners noted and their states surveyed,
On stormy seas unnumbered tolls he bore,
Safe with his friends TO gain his natal shore,
Vain tolls their impous folly dared to prey
On herds devoted to the god ofday.
The god, vindictive, doomed them never more
(Ah, men unbIessed) to touch that natal shore. y
Ulysses was exempted by his virtues from
the fate of his comrades, and fell into disasters
only when he disregarded the admontions of du-
ty. The Illiad was written rather in conformity
with the doctrine, then popular, of Fate. The
Odyssey asserts that of individual free-wll

| " Perverse mankind whose wills, created free,
| Charge all their woes on absolute decree
| All to the booming gods their guilt translate,
And follies are miscalled the crimes OF fate"
And, as the liberty of the individual man to
regulate his own destiny is thus asserted, we
claim the authority of HOMER, not only in favor
Of secession, but against Intervention, and exult
in the faith, that whatever may be the follies or
the crimes of States, the friendshipor enmity of
men, the individual man who is worthy to be
free, can never be slave.

nyy- We have not interfered in the personal
controversy between Mr.. CLEMENS and Mr.
RHETT, for obvious reasons; nor do we desire
now to express any opinion upon its merits.
But as the Republic has thought proper to
intervene, in most offensive manner, we would
merely make suggestion as to the proprety
of the course it has thought proper to pursue
In an editorial of yesterday, that print closes an
abusive TRADE upon Mr.. RHETT's parade of
piety," and "traitorous conduct and declara-
tions," with the folio wing words:
I'm the meantime, the estimate of character
applied by Junius to one ofhis opponents seems
not to be wholly inapplicable to his case. "As
much detestation as can be united to the pro.
foundest contempt" appropriately describes the
nature of the feeling which the majority of our
readers will be disposed to entertain and to eX-
press in regard to- Mr. Rhett."
What Mr.. CLEMENS, in the heat of embittered
controversy, scorned to stoop to, his volunteer
aid of the Republic has done, gratuitously, and
without the shadow of excuse.
After Mr.. RHETT's declarations, this certainly
is cheap display of chivalry; but he who avais
himself of an opportunity to insult with impu-
nifty, and strikes one whose hands, he knows
are tied, though he may not excite " detestation
certainly cannot escape" contempt. We do moi
constitute ourselves the champions of any o
our political friends who may be personally as
sailed, but feel well satisfied that the :" majority
of our readers" wilkconcur with us in this opin
ion, and recognise thej Justice of this retort.

United STATES MAIL STEAM SH tp
CoMPANY--T THROUGH PASSAGE 10
CALIFORNIA

TIE public will be gratifed to learn that the
J. United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abied TO announce that their Arrangements are now
complete ior sending passengers through from
New York TO San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts Of this Companv 10 meet
the wants Of travel to California, by proyid,no
ships on the Pacific, IN connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, 10 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This done
from desire TO accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships nom reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers in gong forward, against the advice
OF the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
Tor the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HUDsoN.
lT1MUS, Capt. HIrCHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, OF the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. SCHENcK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARTsrEN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
