HORACE-LE SAGE-BYRON.
BY GEORGE PADDISON.

If by some uncomfortable destiny, second Alex
andrian destruction of books should occur, many
would rush forward to save some long cherished ia
vorite. Admirers of the sententions would pounce
upon Quintus Horatius Faccus; Gil Bias would be
pucked from the flames by the lovers Of graphic de-
scrption of every day in the actual business
of fe WHILE if all else belonging to the emanatlons
of Byrons geniu; had persisted, the loss might be
deplored, but would be speedily forgotten, had some
holder hand succeeded in the rescue of Don Juan.
Horace-Le Sage-Byron-a trio how like, yet
how dissimilar! How kindred in the design and
general drift of their argument; how alien in the
means of its Development!
Let us take them on their morality The second
epistle of Horace deserves to be written in charac-
tiers of gold 1t is, within itself, miniature Book
of Proverbs Poor Richard" himself is not more
pithy in maxims show to live" and show to ac-
quire credit in living" Further on, nothing can
excel the portrait of a " blackguard'- specimen
of that spccious blackguard-to be met with now,
as then, in every grade of society:

ors cougar, or American tiger, and the
fierce wild cat, while thousands of deer,
elk and antelope tempt the traveller at ev-
cry step.
The mountains are as yet unexplored or
prospected; a few have penetrated a
short distance over rugged sleeps, and
along deep, yawning chasms, until driven
back by the SHOWS. The settler at Cherry
Creek can only look upon Longs Peak to
the North, Pixies Peak to the South, and
behold them rearing their majestic forms
amid the clouds, which wrap their sum-
mits in silent gloom. He may look upon
the dark line of mountains between, and
only conjecture what vast wealth may be
found in its cavernous depths.
Messrs Wynkoop and Steinberger, uu-
der the guidance of Antonio Juiss. will
penetrate through the mountains 10 Grand
River, branch of the Colorado, entering
the mountains by way of each la Poudre,
following along the base of the Medicine
Bow mountain, thence up the Medicine
Bow Creek until reaching the dividing
verge, which runs traversely with the
main chain of mountains and which sep
crates the waters of the Colorado, Rio
Grand, Arkansas, and Platte. This is be-
lieved to De the fountain head of the float
gold which is found in greater or less
abundance upon all of said streams. But
by far the most important result, which ii
is to be hoped will result from their expe-
dition. is the discovery of a natural route
to the Pacific, and the mountains will moi
be abandoned until the practicability Of
such an undertaking is determined. But
of this, more at future time.
While it is acknowledged that many
ridiculous stories are afost with regard to
the new Gold Regions, yet destiny has
marked out for this great watershed q
mighty future. Already the hustle and
noise of improvement is heard where once
was heard but the tramp of the Indian
warhorse the cleaning axe and burnish.

to keep the Democrats in Massachusett
from overthrowing the Republicans by
force, as there is to-day in keeping mob
force in Southern Kansas to prevent the
tens of Pro- Slavery men from crushing
out the hundreds of Free State men, with
the laws in their hands.
The Border Rnfians of '55 and SO COM
mitted outrages in the laudable, as they
thought, business of planting favorite
institution on the soil of Kansas, while
these men can be actuated by nothing
higher than revenge and plumber. If in
dorsing the Border Rufiians in $50 defeat
ed The Democratic party in the North, an
Endorsement of these men with their plat
form will, certainly, defeat any party that
does it in 1860.
