efforts of contributors and editor have

een
satisfactory to the public and arcep ed
fulfilling the nromises made for them
it
the commencement of the enterprise. 1 j
The publisher undertook the work vith
a firm conviction that the great city ol
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine of general literature; that
notwithstanding the failure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, there
could be no impossibility of success vith
sufficient capital, perseverance and the
right system of management both by aub-
lisher and editor; stimulated by this
con
and that
i
viction he embarked in the enterprise
he result of the first year has pioved
his judgment' was correct.
It has long ceased to be necessary
reasonable, that we should speak of
pr
tne
all
Columbian as an lexneriment. At
events, it ts now aniexnenment subst
anli-
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as
tirm
a basis as any similar journal in the wprl'd.
Our Drincmle cares now record nJ
t jo
much the securing what ground we
have
gained (for we consider this sufficiently
secure) as the extension of our sphere fof
action and uiijity -not so much, even, the
mere enlargement of our subscription li$t,
as the most suitable moes of catering; fir
the amusement (-and shall we say oecasi-dn-ally
for the profii?) of our subsoriti s Jin
the present and in the future the rnafiy
whom we-have, and I lie mmv more we
shall undoubtedly have as time rolls oh.
We have made arraniiemems whicH will
enable us to present our friends with
beilishments of very superior taste,
and finish. In this; respect it is our
if. '.' it
em-
st vie
firm
purpose, it possible, to outvie all com
neti-
' i
lion. Our music and engravings, wei
cdn-
fidently believe, wijl not be equalled
very
certainly they snai not ne surpassed jin
. sat la
real merit by those ol any other maga
zine. We propose to give each month
two or more superb engravings, indepen
dently of two pages of music, by the rnfjsi
eminent composers, and a plate of au 'Aei-
. tic fashions.
. Regarding the literary and editoria con
duct of the Columbian, the publisher dries
not feel called upon to say more lhan a ye
,ry few -words. . The general management
ol this department J is, as heretofore, entrus
td to a gentleman possessing every quqli
fication for the task, and who has civen
abundant evidence, not only of the highest
ability. to put forth) a meritorious magazine,
but of the ability to put fot tb a magazine
exactly adapted to the tastes of our re; de'rs.
The publisher, therefore, has every confi
dence that what hfis already been (lore for
the literary value pf the journal wi l ibe
done aain. We -are perfectly wiilinjr that
ur future inthis repect shll be e-tirna-ted
by our past. The subjoined 1 st of
those who have furnished articles toi (he

satisfy, we fecl.assured, the most fasti diqus-

LIFE'S LESSON. ' ;"
Forget not regret not
The joys that have fled,;
Though sweeter and fleeter
Than fresh honors shed
From thejessamines cup,.
Or the bright chalice hid
From the gaze of the sun
'Neath the violet's lid.
Forget not regret not:
Hope ever should burn
The incense of love4
In her funeral urn,
Shedding glory and light
O'er the gems of the past,
By time on the altar
Of memory cast.
Forget not regret not:
Why should we regret,'
While one star remains, r
That another has set?
And though all may have faded,
Others brighter by far
Through the gloom may arise
Than one once worshiped star.
Forget not regret not:
Life's lesson should be
Like the stars that are hung
O'er the limitless sea,
A guide to our path,
Bright links of the chain,
To lead us and bind us
To virtue again.
From the Fayettville Carolinian.
THE GLOBE.
It seems to be settled now, that Father
Ritchie, of the Richmond Enquirer, and
Mr. Heiss, of Tennessee, will purchase the
Globe office from Messrs. Blair and Rives,
and be the official organ of the administra
tion. This change will probably add to the
popularity of the administration paper, on
account of the conciliatory course general'
ly pursued by Mr. Ritchie, who is a mild
er politician than Mr. Blair, and more dis
posed to harmonize and unite a party;
Mr. Blair is a strict party disciplinarian,
and lashes with a remorseless pen, all who
dare break ranks, or show symptoms of
mutiny. He gives quarter to none, and
never forgets or forgives a deserter. There
is a difference of opinion as to the policy
of this course. We prefer, in political
matters, concession and conciliation, where
no compromise of principles is involved.
We believe Mr. Blair and Mr. Ritchie both
to be 'as honest as sunshine," in their po
litical course, but quite opposite in their
notions of the true policyof a political editor
or leader. Mr. Blair is uncompromising in
his democratic principles, and he has
shewn himself on some occasions, equally
uncompromising in his course with regard
to men. As for instance, two persons are
spoken of for the same office, . Mr. Blair
takes a notion that one of them is a better
democrat than the other; and without any
regard to consequences, and with no dispo
sition to conciliate, he espouses warmly the
cause of one and neglects the other. This,
of course, breeds discontent f with the
friends of the neglected aspirant, and if
they dare shew .tbeir teeth uhe uses the
caustic without stint. " "
It was this characteristic of Mr, Blair,
as a political leauer, mac uas icau iu uie
present change of the proprietorship of
that paper, as the following paragraph in
that paper of Monday the 14th will shew:
From the Globe.
The Globe office and its appurtenances,
passed, on Saturday last, into the hands of
Messrs. Ritchie & Heiss. The Globe had
its origin in the will of Gen. Jackson, and
owes to him and. Mr. Van Buren, and
their political irienda,tthe success which
has attended it through fifteen years of
conflict, closed by theJate triumph of the
democracy, which efiaced the disaster of
1840. It has been the. misfortune of the
Globe, in sustaining the strong administra
tion of Gen. Jackson the vuncompromis

Drowned. On the the 5th inst , Sun
day last, a man was discovered floating on
the surface of the river, near 'Barry & Bry
ant's wharf, in this town. When taken
out of the watery it was discovered that he
had been dead some time. The name of
the unfortunate man was Benjimin Gaute,
believed to be a native of Wake county
7 We think he was from Raleigh.) Where
he was drowned, or under what circum
stances, has not yet been ascertained. A
Coroner's Jury was summoned, but with
out eliciting any thing, we believe. The
verdict of the Jury was, ihat lhe decea
sed came to his death by drowning."
This, if we are not mistaken,- is the fuunh

Alarming and destructive Fire in the

mark that for some six week pt we have
had no rain in this section of country, and
conseriuentl v, the spongy fihrous soil of
the Swamp has becoms dry, and ignites as
readily as tinder, and burns with the fer
vency of peat. The fire ' descends a great
depth in the soil and completely covers
the whole surface lor miles and mi e with
a living lire, which consumes every thing.
Vast quantities of ti.ober, shingles, s'aves
fences, &c, have already been destroyed,
and our neighbors on the edge of the
Swamp are in great dismay, for (ear of
their dwellings and plantations. It i
worse than a prairie fire because Khe subtle!
element penetrates under the earth, and ri
ses at different points.
The fire is nowr within some five or six
miles of this town, and a curious feeling is
exhibited by nearly all our citizens; a fe
verish anxiety, and a continual inquiry of
how the fire progresses, meets us at every
point. rsiuinbera are moving towards the
scene of devastation, and fearful rumors are
ever aVd anon started that such and such
plantations have been "destroyed.; . Negroes
who have long made the Swamp their
dwelling place, bears, snakes, &c , are lea
ving their strong holds and fastnesses,; and
seeking the high and solid earth, looking
for safety among those they have hereto
