From the N Y. Com Ado ,of Saturday
Later from California.
The steamship Illinois, Capt. Hartsteine,
from Chagres byway of Kingston, (Jamaica >
arrived this morning.
The Illinois made the outward passage to
Chagres in eight daye three hours. On the re
turn, she reached Kingston in forty-ssven hours,
and from Kingaton to New York m five days
seventeen hours—thus making the running
time from Chagres to this city seven days six.
teen hours—-being the quickest passage on re
cord.
The Brother Jonathan arrived at Chagres in
nine days six boors from New York, and left
on the evening of the 9th inst., for San Juan
de Nicaragua, with vary few passenger* on
board.
The Illinois brings three hundred and seven
ty four passengers. The specie on board
amounts to $1,859 358.
Revolution in Chili. —The French brig Mari#
Louise, from Callao, arrived at Panama, on
the 2d inst. She reports that when she left, on
the 20th of Bept., the steamer Chili had just
arrived from Valparaiso, bringing information
that a revolution had broken ont in Chili, and
that many of the troops had declared in favor
of Gen. Santa Crus, for President; that
Coquimbo and other cities were in posvesoion
of the new party, and that every thing through
out the republic was in a disorganized stale.
Gen Santa Cruz was the unsuccessful can
didate for ihe presidency at the late election,
Senor Don Montt being chosen by a large
majority. The latter is a civillian, and it being
the first time that the army candidate has been
beaten, trouble was anticipated when it was
known that ha was elected. This anticipation,
it appears, has been more than realized.
From Californio.—By this arrival we have
San Francisco papers of the 15th of Septem
ber, nine cays later than our previous advices.
The intelligence generally is not of the average
interest or importance. The San Francisco
Herald of the latest date, in its summary pre
pared for the steamer, says:
The leading event of interest, and one which
has been the ohief topic of discussion in po
litical cirticles during the past fortnight, is the
election of State and county officers, which was
held on the 3d inst. In this county, the Whigs
obtained an average majority of 695 for State
officers. For county officers the honors are
about equally divided. The returuß from sev
eral of the frontier counties have not yet been
received, and there is still ■ doubt as to the ro
suit for Governor. The vote is very close;
both parties claim the victory, and the official
returns can alone decide the question. The
remainder of the Democratic State ticket, in
cluding Messrs. E. C. Markle and McCorkle,
for Congress, are elected. The Legislature
will be Democratic in both branches, and
will no doubt elect a Democrat to the U. 8.
Senate immediately after organizing. The
vote throughout the State is small.
A most important step has been taken by
the inhabitants of the Southern counties, ds
sireua of dividing the state and forming a Ter
lituria! government for that portion. Two
addresses have been issued to secure eoncert
of ac ion, and a convention of delegates has
been called to assemble in Santa Barbara on
tho third Monday in October. Delegates have
already been appointed to attend from Santa
Clara, San Diego, and other counties. All
the members of the Legislature recently elect
ed front that section at the state are pledged
to urge a division of the ensuing session.
Crime has most sensibly diminished through
out the state, and no execution hvs taken
place, either here or in the interior, since the
sailing of the last steamer. The Indians in
the southern part of the State are quiet; tnose
in lbs North, in Trinidad and Klamath coun
ties, are becoming somewhat troublesome.
The gold diggings continue to yield rich re
turns to the labors of the miners. The auri
ferous quartz veins are being extensively
worked, and generally with great success.
The amount shipped by the steamer Panama
which leaves to-day, $1,700,000, exhibits no
falling off in the production of gold in our
state. In the dry diggings, miners aro only
waiting for the rainy season, to take out large
amounts of gold.
San Francisco has recovered from the two
great conflagrations of May and June, and has
been rebailt in far better style than before.
Numerous fireproof brick and stone buildings
have been erected, and many others have been
commenced. Altogether, the condition of af
fairs in our state is highly satisfaetory.
Another fire at M*ryso.Ue. —The Marysville
Herald records another large fire in that city,
which took place ou the 10th of Sept.
The flames were first seen rising from the
rear part of the store of Mitchell A Nums, on
the Sc nth side of First, near, and West es D
street.
In the course of net more than half an hour
all the houses inoleded in the following limits
were utterly consumed. All the bouses on
the South side of First street, from D street
to the a,ley dividing the blook between D and
C streets ; the houses on the alley, from First
street to the Levee, except the corner house
end the one adjoining, the houses fronting the
Levee from the alley io Datreet; all the houses
on D street from the Levee to First street— the
whole sqnsre with the exception of the two
above buildings, being totally levelled to the
ground. There were in all about 25 buildings
burned.
Scarcely any of the goods in tha burnt dis
trict were saved.
The following is a list of losses, so far as we
could get them at the moment.
Friedman A Co., .(6,000
Mitchell A Nums, B,GW

There was a serious fire at Spanish town
•r Ysella, on the Callaveras river, on the 6th
of September. About oae hundred and fifty
houses and tents ware destroyed, with proper
ty estimated at $350,000. The fire originated
in the American Hotel. The flamer spread
with such rapidity that the building and
its contents were destroyed, while the fire was
communicated to the adjoining buildings.
Bev©r»l ai abtiinod firms were burned eat, and
among them Lovelace A Willi a(na , loss $15,.
000 { Purcell, Johnson A Co., $26,000, John
son, Eber A Co., $30,000
Indian A Join. —Dr. Wozeoorafi. the In
dian commissioner, returned to San Francisco
from his tour of the Indian district, on the
10th of September. He was te proceed in a
few daye to the Cosumnes river and Lawson’s
ranch, on the Sacramento, for the purpose of
treating with deputations of the hostile tribes
in that reigion, who were the cause of the
state troops being called into raquiaion. Alta
California says:
With tbo exception of these tribes, all the
Indians South of Pitt river have agreed to the
terms proposed by Dr. Wozencraft, and hd
has every confidence that they will adhere to
the stipulations, and if not molested give no
further trouble to the whites Dr W. thinks
that before toe expiration of the year, ther>will
be ns many as 80,000 Indians upon the reser
vations already made, a large number having
already commenced their occupation.
With a party of dragoons the commissioner
penetrated tb* country North of the Pitt River
accompained by a number of friendly Indians,
but the savages of that district fled at their
approach like antelopes. He tksn returned
and camped on a small creek emptying
into Pitt River, and aubseqneatly with
Lieut. Wright, who accompanied the ex
pedition as a volunteer, and a small party es
men, made a rapid march np tha creak, and
came upon a large party of Indiana. A few
shots were fired and the Indians fled. Lieut.
W. was hit with an arrow, bat very slightly in
jured. Tonr Indians were taken prisoners
and conveyed to eamp, but they enbseqnently
escaped.
The first reservation made by Dr. Wozea
craft comprizes about twenty five sqoire miles.
The boundary line runs East from the Ba
erairento River, North of Reading’s, for 25
miles, thence North to Pitt River, and ia bound,
ed on the North by that stream. The second
reservation is on Feather River, and eoneisteef
n narrow etrip of land about six miles broad
by twenty in length, and upon which there aro
now tho representatives of twenty two different
tribea.
The third reservation is on the Saerameato
river, to tho north of Sntter’aelaim, extending
back abont three miles, and ap tho river fifteen
miles. This will probably be occupied by,
from 250 f to 3000 Indiana from tho coast range
and all in the Sacramento valley, from Btone
ereek to Feather river, and froaa tho mouth of
the Yaba.
The foarth reservation osmprises • tract of
land twelve miles square, between the Bear and
Yuba rivers, set aside some time sinee, upon
which it is anticipated there will be between
6000 and 7000 Indians.
Tai Lonnen Exnismo*.—A letter from
Edward Riddle, Esq., the American Commis*
sionor, has the following items under date of
Lokdoit, Sept. 26.
Os the articles added to our department since
my last letter, most honorable notice has been
taken by the daily journals. Indeed, for the last
four weeks there hae been an evident effort on
the part of the leading papers, snd of the Times
especially, to treat our part of the Exhibition
with marked consideration, noticing in full, not
only the contributions recently added, but what
ever of merit and ingenuity was observed
among our heretofore much abused productions.
It is not the quality of our race on either side
of the Atlantic to be overstocked with humility.
When we were best abused, we were not in*
dined to cultivate any extraordinary amount of
self-abasement. And now that we aro most
indiscriminately praised, whatever may be the
motives of our encomiasts, I very much doubt
the salutary effect which will be produced upon
us, abroad or at home.
Among our new contributions no single one
has excited more attention, or been received
with more favor, than the Maynard lock and
primer, of which I have spoken before. I took
occasion to show its operation to one of the
editors of the Time*, who was so struck with
its ingenuity, simplicity, efficiency, and redac
tion of cost, that it was immediately noticed In
that paper, and as a consequence in many others.
Through the influence of Col. Reid, I succeeded
in calling the attention of the Government to its
merits, and it is now at the Board of Ordance
Department, awaiting the meeting of the com
mittee on email arms to test its practicability.
The gold plate just sent from the house of
Meas. Ball, Thompkins A Black, of New York,
and during the last week only exhibited, has ex
cited much attention from its tasteful design,
accomplished workmanship, and above all, ex
traordinary auriferous coler. This service of
plate, a present from the Mayor and ethers of
New York, to E. K. Collins, Esq., is said to be
twenty-three carats fine —a moat unusual maxi
mum tor beating gold, and accounted for by the
•uperior malleability of the California metal.
Mr. Bigelow, of Boston, has given ns an im>
portant accession of strength in the shape of
some specimens of Brussels carpet, woven upon
Kwer looms. Although various attempts have
en made to adapt the power loom to carpet
weaving in England, theie has never been any
machine perfected for that object. The loom
upon which there carpets were woven has been
some time in nse, and upwards of eight hundred
hands are now employed in their manufacture.
Each loom requires the attendance only of one
girl, which, in the ordinary mode of carpet
weaving by hand, a weaver is required in addi
tion to another to draw. It is capable of produ
cing four times the quantity in the same space
of time as coaid be woven upon the hand loom.
As many colors can ba used in weaving as in the
ordinary Brussels carpet, and the specimens
show an even, regular thread, tar surpassing the
productions of the hand loom.
By the decision of the Executive Committee
I was obliged to forego the satisfaction of exhib
iting that meritorious specimen of art, the apoth
eosis of Washington, which waa received among
our recent contributions. I greatly regret this
but it was not to be avoided. Indeed it was not
until the picture was unpacked, strstchod, and
framed, that I learned the Executive Committee
feared dissatisfaction would be given by its ex
hibition to other foreigners who had been pre
cluded from the same privilege. lam happy in
being able to eay, however, that it hae been seen
and appreciated by aome of the connoisseurs in
the fine arts in London.
Mr. Ashcroft’s invention for preventing steam
b oiler explosions has attracted much notice
from engineers and other practical scientific men
here, 'i he experiments he is making have satis
factorily settled the correct application of the
principle he claims. Orders have been given for
its introduction into several new steamers now
fitting for sea.
Among the members of the Jury upon musi
cal, instruments was M. Thslberg, the unrivalled
pianist, whose compositions have given him pre
eminent renown all over the world. I feel under
personal obligations to him for the fairness with
which he insisted that every one of our instru
ments, especially piano fortes, should be tried.
In the violins of Oemunder also, he was of most
special service to us, tryiug each one himself
and returning once and again to pass npon the
merit of a Cremoni, with which he was greatly
delighted. Should Tbalberr carry out hia inten
tion of visiting the United States another year,
our citizens will have an opportunity of enjoying
a feast in mutic to which they have rarely been
treated.
To the moving machinery department of the
Exhibition, where from the beginning our show
has basn of the smallest, there has recently
been added from one of our Western States, by
a Western man, one of the moat Ingenious ma
chines in the World | I refer to the stave ma
chinoof Mr. Wells, of Milwaukie. This very
complicated but effective piece of machinery ac
complishes the work of six men, taking the
timber from block and producing staves of the
reqaislte site and shape far more perfectly than
they are ever made by hand. It is exciting
much interest among those who daily visit that
part of the Exhibition.

Th« AfitoMlural Vaii«
W* take pleasure in calling the atten’ien of
the public to the advertisement of the Georgia
Railroad, proposing to transport passengers to
the Agricnltnral Fair at Macon, and to express
the hope that a large number of the planters
will avail themselves of the opportunity to be
present.
These Fairs are ameng the most efficient
means for developing the resources of our
great and growing|State, and no true Georgian
who feels a just pride in the rapid progress
which the State is making in her onward march
to greatness, should fail to give them his earn
est and sealons support.
This is emphatically the age of progress and
improvement in Agriculture, Mechanics, the
Arts and Sciences, and those planters who ne
gleet or omit to avail themselves of the benefit
which these exhibitions are se well calculated,
and will so certainly confer, will as certainly be
left behind in the roes. Go, then, all of you,
and improve yourselves by learning from one
anether.
Isath Carolina Election*

Caroline for delegatee to the Southern Can.
gross are very near complete, and ahew that in
a vote of npwerda of 40,000 tho Co-operation
majority is 8,076.
This result brings fresh to oar recollection
the prophetic spirit exhibited by the disunion
organs in Georgia daring the recent canvass,
when wiih a view to help their sinking for
tunes, they sought to cateh a sow credo lons
voters by pnrsnading them, "if Coxa was alec*
ted in Georgia, South Carolina would imma*
diately secede !”
What now will be thought of tho prophets
and their prediction T Coxa has beta elected
by over 18,000 majority—the news was spread
throughout Sooth Carolina, and lo I that State
bearepndieted Secession and the Secession
ists by ever S,OOO votes I
ladeed the Secessionist, have only carried e
single congressioal district in the State. Wba t
a triumph of liberty, the constitution and the

Correspondence of the Chronicle <f» Sentinel.
Wasuixutox Citt, Oct. 15, 1851.
Thu late election in Georgia, 1 trust, from
the returns received, hs_. been responded to
in Pennsylvania by the defeat of Johnson.
I think alao, that it does not exhibit much
strength for Gen. Scott, the tilent candidate,
in the Keystone State. But I did not take up
my pen to give yon news, or discuss the
merits of any candidate for the Presidency,
but to show the triumph of truth.
In the Washington Union of this morning
there is a very complimentary notice of Mr.
Cobb, of Georgia, the Governor elsct, to which
every friend of that gentleman will respond.
Bat, at the same time, I have no confidence ia
the sincerity of the editor, for at first, when
he thought the whole Democratio party of
Georgia, would support McDonald, he gave
Mr. Cobb bat a lukewarm, and that conditional*
support Besides, the same paper, in another
article, charges "the Whigs of Virginia and
tbo Whigs of the whole South, as attempting
to use, er rather abuse, the patriotic impulses
of the people." If Mr. Donelaen really
thinks so of the Georgia Wbigs, he exhibits
but little sagacity in praising a triumph in
which they shared largely and which, if he
believea, as he asserts, relecta credit upon tho
political course of Mr. Cobb, attaches with
e«|ual credit to those who hare sustained him.
But the triumph of Messrs. Cobb, Stephens
and Toombs, does not consist so much in the
triumphant approval of their course and the
large majorities they have reeeived, as the
acknowledgement now, on the part of those
who differed with them then, that they were
right from the beginning.
The Union, in the article to which I have
alluded, says, that be (Mr. Cobb) "opposed
the Southern address which emanated from
Mr. Calhoun, and out of which may be said to
have come the Nashville Convention." What
an admission for the Washington Union t just
look over the files of that paper for Janusry
and February, 1849, and see the denuncia
tions against the Southern Whigs for their
course on that snbjeot. Itistroe. it was theu
conducted by Mr. Ritchie, bnt the party
South, with the exception of a very few, sus
tained that address. And if my recollection
serves me, in his paper of the 16th of Jan
uary, 1849 —1 have it not before me and write
from memory—Mr. Ritchie predicted that the
Southern Whigs bad dug their grave by their
course. Ue, no doubt, intended to include
Mr. Cobb and those other Democrats who
refused to sign that address, that Southern
address, which now proves, according to the
opinion of Mr. Doxelson, the successor of
Mr. Ritchie, to have been the Father of the
NaskaiUe Contention- You will remember
that two addresses were presented to the
meeting of tin Southern members, the one,
I believe, prepared by Mr. Calhoun, the other
by Mr. Berrien, the former of which was
adopted by a vote exclusively Democratic,
with the single exception of Gayle, of Ala
bama. It ia also upon the record that Mr.
Stephens, of Georgia, introduced a resolution
to the effect that it waa inexpedient to issue
any address to the Southern people. Now
the metropolitan organ perceivaa what wero
the consequences of that address, praises Mr.
Cobb for his independent action on that occa
aion, and yet pretends to beliove that Messrs.
Toombs and Stephens, who were sustained at
that time by Mr Cobb, are attempting "to
nse, or rather abuse, the patriotic impulses of
the people." Ido not refer to these things for
the purpose of claiming for the Southern
Whigs the exclusive credit of having foreseen
the trouble that that address would bring upon
the South, or battliog against and successfully
resisting the evil consequences of that pro
duction, but to shew tbe unfairness of an
editor, whose views of patriotism and duty
never extend beyond the idea of appropriat
ing every thing, whether rightfully or wrong
fully, to hia own party. Besides, it gives me
an opportunity of exhibiting the sagacity of
tbe "triumvirate" as they are termed by their
enemies, Messrs. Toombs,Cobb and Stephens,
by showing their consistency in this whole
matter.
The Union newspaper, and almost the entire
preas of ita party So nib, denounced these
yery men for witholding their approbation and
signatures from au address, a Southern address,
which now, that same paper, which clamors
daily about the National Democracy, asserts
produced the Nashville Convention, the object
es which was to dissolve the Union. Do the
records of the peat presents more complete
triumph es truth, or a mare successful vindi
cation of the wisdom of these men, relative
to this subject, from the beginning to the end 7
Had Messrs. Cobb, Toombs and Stephens,
yielded to tbo influences which were brought
to boar at the time of the issue of the South
ern address, such as sectional appeals and
wise predictions of political death, this Union
would, in all probability, hava bean dissolved.
But wi b the meui comein recti, they did their
duty then, and their reward nets ia tbo trium
phant approval by the paopie, and a ooufession
of jndgment by their opponents. Long may
they live to enjoy that eontidenee and servo
tboir country with a saal commensurate with
their ability. "As Oxsxnvan."
Tlso Wife ml Kossuth.
The New York Eupran, in an article on the
expected arrival of Kossuth, relates the follow
ing incident, illustrative of the devotion of his
wife to her husband after being exiled to Tur
key:
With him oemes his heroic wife, who, after
his exile commenced in Turkey, with incredi
ble sacrifices and devoted disregard to a thou
sand dangers, traversed hostile territories, sub
mitted to deprivations and underwent suffer
ings of every kind, joined him at his retreat, by
the foot of Mount Olympus. It was under the
protection of a pasapoat from the British Con
sul General, at Belgrade, that as British sub
jects, under assumed names, she and her com
panions were enabled to accomplish this sreat
adventure, and when, on the twenty-eighth
day, a courier was sent in advance of them to
apprise Kossuth of their approach to tihumla,—
(ho was ill, and on account of the many plans
el the Austrians te assassinate him, the Sultan's
authorities would not allow him leave Shumla
and go te meet bis wife,) the news es her do
liveranoe and her approach occasioned the
liveliest satisfaction to all the refugees; and
the Hungarians and Polas went as far as the
gates of the city to meet this heroic martyr of
the cause of Hungary. It was night when the
carriage neared the city; and as it entered the
gates she found the stree a lighted with hun
dred* of lights, gre«n, wbi e, and red, (he colors
of the Hungarian d ig, and was welcomed with
tho moat friendly shoots from the whole body
of tbe refugees. And tbe account from which
wa have quoted goes on to say :
"When Madame Kossuth descended from
berearriage she found herself in the presence
of her husband, who had risen from his bed of
illness to receive the poor * Maria F n," of
the plains of Hungary. In place of receiving
her in his arms, M. Kossuth, overcome by
feelings of admiration tor the sufferings which
his wife had undergone, and by gratitude for
her devotion to the cause of her country,
threw himself at her feet and kissed them.
She endeavored to apeak and offer her hus
band consolation and tranquiiity, while her
own poor feeble heart waa ready to burst with
amotion. Her voice failed her, and amid the
reiterated shouts of the Hungarians and Poles,
this heroic woman was oarriad to her hus
band’s apartments."
In our rejoicings, therefore, at the liberation
and the coming hither of the great patriot, let
os not forget tbe heroic adventures of his no
ble wife, and let the same interest which the
British Consul at Belgrade, and the united
population of Shumla displayed in her success,
tbe same respect for her virtaes, the same joy
at her happiness, be manifested by the fathers
and sons, the brothers and husbands of Ame
rican women.
Fatal CoxsxqusNeES of Follt.— An oc
currence, which happened at a young ladies’
seminary in New York, is men.ioned in the
Times of that city, which presents another
proof of the folly of indulging in the thought
less practice of a'tempiing to frighten others.
Two of the young ladies in the institution were
engaged in their own room, conversing upon
the science of anatomy, in the course of which
one of them proceeded to relate some experi
ence she had formerly acquired in a dissecting
room. Just as the conversation reached this
point, the door of the room opened, and an
other of the inmates of the seminary entered
with slow and solemn tread, having a white
■beet wrapped about her form, and her face
powdered to perfect whiteness, her jet black
hair, eyes, and brows, presenting a contrast
which gave a startling hvidness to her ghost
like countenance. The lady who was relating
her experience, as already stated, is said to be
mentally superior to any of her classmates,
and noted for her strength of mind and free
dom from nervousness and absurd sensibility.
So sadden, however, was the approach of the
figure, just at a moment when her mind was
least prepared for any thing associated with
thoughts of the dead, that upon beholding the
apparition she fell senseless to the floor, and
•woke to the scenes around her only to show
her anxieus attendants that reason had fled and
last sad tokens of the mental wreck. At last
accounts no change was discoverable in the
distressing symptoms of the unfortunate girl,
and there is little encouragement to hope that
reason will ever resume its seat. r l his occur
rence, of course, has produced much distress,
both in the seminary and in the families of the
respective parties.
A Petrified Hcmax Bodt.— Several streets
being about to be opened through the Metho
dist Episcopal grave yard and Light st., extend
ed, a large number of tho remains of the dead
have been removed by their relatives and
friends. This week, taking out the coffin of
Mrs. Vansant, a lady who has been dead 17
years, the lid being partially broken in, Mr.
Vansant, the hnsbsnd of the deceased and the
Shane, who were present, noticed
that the body appeared whole, and on examin
ing it, found that it was petrified as bard as a
stone, and perfect in all its parts, the only
change being that it was nearly black. The
grave was in a wet place, much of the ground
being in fact so moist that it is necessary to
bora boles in the sound coffins in order tbst the
water may run oat. Wa have beard of the
petrifaction of human bodies elsewhere, but
this is the first case that has come under our
knowledge in this city or State.— Baltimore

place amongst ns, we can never forget those many
excellencies cf character which shone so consplcn
oatly in his every act (winning theesteemof all who
knew him) and which peintid him out not only ns a

community in which he lived, as an example to be
imitated by all wko cherish a high regard for the
principles of truth, integrity, virtue, benevolence and
justice.

theirs. Uur loss, we know is not equal to their loss;
but we feel assured that oar great master Architect
who has called eur brother hence "to finish his
work," in other sphere, will not fail to be a comfort
er and protector to the widow "and a father to the
fatherless."
Retained, That we will wear the usual badge of

and that the Lodge be clothed in mourning for the
space of three months.
