How LESLIE DIP Ir.-While the imma-
culate C. p. Leslie was Land Commissioner,
resolution calling for an inspection of his
books was adopted. The books ;cre pro.
duced i'll dlc time, and 10 and behold they
were found to be in the same condition as
when received from the bindrr-not pen
stroke in any of them. He said the law re-
CURED the books to be kept clean and neat,
and as he wrote Il miserable hand, he thought
he would comply fully with the law, and not
detace them. The committee were com.
PEELED to accept this condition OF things, and
as 4 consequence, for these and other rea-
soas, no suits were entered against Charles,
Notwithstanding the notorious "IIcll.hole
swamp and other transactions. The
"ilish Joint may, perhaps, tind an open
ing for suit. They will certainly try it.
The hanging of the wrctchcd negro,
Cush Harris, is to take place on the last day
OF this month. Sheriff Castor Informs us
that he has not yet decided upon the SPOT
Tor the execution. la the meantime the
condemned man makes confession to Nj:
CASTOR that he aloue devised the murder Of
Mr. Holloway and pcrpetrated it, no one
assisting him, and no one being PRIV to
the deed. This, however, is clearly not
true, as any sensible man may Judge who
heard the evidence upon the tria-partic-
ularly Vince Coldwel's Before the final
hour, Cush may probably tell another tale.

MESsRs. EDITORS: am greatly entertain
ed and edited by the controversy going on now
in yoar columns between John A. Thomson
and Charles Davies respecting the historical
value of Homer Had. As to the poetic mer-
it of that Incompatible work | take 1t for
granted that there can be no dispute. Many
centuries ago, Longinus, the father OF the art
Of criticism, compared the Had with the Sun
10 his meridian splendor The Odyssey, auo-
Their immortal poem CT Homer, be compared
with the Evening Sun, it not being as power
ful as the Had, but in many respects more
charming. The critic who conceived this sub
lime smile was himself man of extraordlna-
genius, ana it is to be hoped that the heartlesS
queen who betrayed him TO the vengeance OF
the savage Roman may have to expiate her
treachery by being compelled for all eternity
to read Patent Office Reports or the poems Of
Maeyius and BayiuS.
DO not pretend to cast any more light on
this subject than MeSsrs. Thomson aud Davies
have already furnished, and | will not attempt
taatas comDoaere lies The question at issue
is whether or not Homer is to be considered in
the liaht Of a reliable historian as well as that
of a sublime poet, aud as Mr.. Thorn son takes
the affirmative | will make free to ask him for
an explanation of a certain passage IN our IA
vorite author which. ON the theory that Homer
is absolutely truthful, fills me with perplexity
have not Homer with me at present, either
in the original or IN Translation, aud | will
quote from memory.
OF all the books Of the Hal, the m list stir
ring is the Eighth 1t opens with Council
Of the Gods and positive command from Ju-
piter TO the inferior Deities that they shall not
interfere 10 the battle which he ioresces APP

aud, as usual, attention /, paid to the repast.
Homer being very fond Of representing his he
rocs as huge feeders. Fearing that you may
not have Greek type will give YOU trausla-
ton OF the passage describing the Troians max
iug sortie after having done Justice to their
mornings ratiuns The translation is by an
author not sufficiently known to fame. but
