heaven born

Another of Gansevoort Melville's distinctive terms shows up in one of the early sketches by "Borderer" for the St Louis Beacon. I still need to find and transcribe the original newspaper version. Text below is from the "Rocky Mountain Tale" of Sha-wa-Now as revised and reprinted in the Military and Naval Magazine (September 1835):

The sun in mid-heaven is but a tame spectacle; his effect, though dazzling, is simple; there he is something, alike beyond our ken and thoughts, merely useful. But when he approaches, as if it were, our earth in setting,—is surrounded by the horizon's mist,—it is then that he is the glorious father of a thousand beauties; a hemisphere blushes red as roses; a mountain structure of calm and motionless clouds seems a palace of fancy adorned with every heaven-born hue.

Why is the name of the Philanthropist Howard associated with such heaven born remembrances.  (Gansevoort Revises Augusta)

Distinctive I say because "heaven born" is Gansevoort's idea for replacing Augusta's word "sublime":

Why is the name of the Philanthropist Howard associated with such sublime remembrances.

UPDATE! Text of Sha-wa-now from the St Louis Beacon is now transcribed and available at Dragooned.
