Shipwreck.-*—
The U. S. steamer Poinsett, Capt. Pock, from
Olack Creek via Savannah al Charleston, reports
that the schr. Joseph Hand, from Havana, for
Charleston, was wrecked on the 32d inst., on the
Gaston Bank, near Savannah, with a cargo of
GulVcc, Sugar and Molasses. The vessel and
cargo will be a total loss. The crew was saved
and had arrived at Savannah, previous to the,
i Poinsett’s leaving. : /
North Carolina Erect.
North Carolina is‘‘redeemed, regenerated and
disenlhrawllcd” —she too has joined in the loud
chorus of triumph and joy, which commenced in
Maine, and has been reverberated from almost
every State in the Union. Nobly has she spurn
ed executive dictation, and rejected with scorn
the active and corrupting influences of sub treas
ury hierlings. From this tbc Loco F ocos
throughout the Union may learn their approach
ing fate. Make way then for her, and let it be
proclaimed loud and long, Irom one end ot tbc
Union to the other, that North Carolina has
elected a Whig Governor! a Whig Senate ! ! and
a Whig House of Commons !!!
There are sixty five counties in the Slate, all
of which have been heard from, says the Raleigh
Star, except three. In the last Legislature, these
three counties were represented by Administra
tion men. Should this again be the case, then
the Whigs will have a majority on joint ballot ul
14 —8 in the Senate,, and Cin the House. II
there be any gain in cither county, it will increase
the Whig majority by so much.
Kentucky Election.
The Louisville Journal slip of the l'Bth says:
“The parlies in the Legislature, so far as national
politics arc concerned, will be about the same as
last year.—The Whigs having an overwhelming
majority in both branches. The convention has
been voted down by a larger majorhy than has
ever been given against any question, that agita
ted the people of Kentucky.”
Indiana.
The Indianapolis Journal of the 11th inst. con
tains a list of members elected (o the Legislature
from about fifty counties of Indiana. The poli
tics of the members elect are not gnen. The
Journal remaiks that a large majority of them are
Whigs.

I and France, is now being matured, and will
I shoilly be laid before tho public in a form which,

’ tvhich will secure that co-operation necessary to
success.”
The N. V. Journal of Commerce stales, on tho
authority of gentlemen connected witii the French
trade, that it has been determined at Havre to
build four -steam ships of 1800 tons burthen each
to constitute a line between that port and New

COMMUNICATED.
First Animal Report ol the Augusta Uc
iievoleut Society.
Organized for the express purpose to ailbrd
relict to the suffering and distressed among us
it is a question divested neither of interest nor
importance, to each member of the society, to
ascertain, what good it is afi'ecling in our com
munity 1 How have its operations been cin
ducted t How far have the objects lor which it
was originally intended been fulfilled 1 How
have its officers discharged their duties 7
It affords us no ordinary pleasure, to stale, that
during the year just closed, (August 17, 1858,)
forty-six individuals and ihirlyAwe families have
been relieved by the charities of the Augusta
Benevolent Society—nor have its operations
been limited to giving succour to these seventy
eight cases, in a pecuniary way. The fil n <ln of
tiio society have not only contributed to procure
the necessaries ol life, but the sick-poor have
been regularly visited by its members, and tlicjir
personal services liberally bestowed upon tho
distressed. Not only lias the cup of kindness
been freely offered to the distressed, but it. has
been carried to their bedsides by those ready at
all limes, and at every sacrifice, to give llieir
personal attention. Your committee arc also
happy to find by the minutes of the society, that
at not a meeting was one of the officers absent—
the President, Secretary and Treasurer, were in
variably punctual, and ever prompt in tho dis
charge of their duties.
The Augusta Benevolent Society consists of
less than one hundred members, of whom seventy
five are males and about twenty are females, who
have agreed to pay annually a sum equal to
about six hundred dollars, being about fifiy-fivo
dollars less than tho amount expended last year.
This deficiency in receipts is however more than
made up by donations—in fact tiro amount of
donations during' tire year just closed, even ex
ceeded that received by subscription, arid lias left
in the treasury an unappropriated balance of one
thousand and seventy-eight dollars thirty.seven
cents, which with one hundred and ninety dollars
of unpaid subscriptions, makes a balance of neat
twelve hundred dollars, ft will thus bo seen
that lire society is not so much in need of funds
to relieve the sick p >or, as of members (partial,
larly females) who are willing :o go out and dis
tribute its means to lire distressed in our com
munity. This duty is cnorous to those lew
members of the society who remain in town
during the summer, the season of grea esl labor,
and though they have not complained, others, it
not all, ought to share in it, as it lias been neccs
sary to appoint frequently the same persons
upon visiting committees. We think this sul
jeet needs only to bo properly presented to our
citizens, to have tire number of our laboring
members much increased We fee! persuaded
that instead of some twenty or thirty members,
the number now actually engaged in dispensing
the charities ot a benevolent association nr Au
gusta, there are hundreds in our community who
, would esteem it not only a duly but a privilege
And who would not visit the sick 7 Who would
not clothe the naked 7 Who would not feed the
poor 7 Who does not sympathize with the
aliiictcd 7 Who would not relieve the distressed?
Who would not solace tire bereaved 7 Who
1 would not relieve the widow and tho orphan 1
i Blessed is lie that considered] the poor, the Lord
, will deliver him iu lime ol trouble,
r Your Committee would, in conclusion, olfer to
4 the Society tiro following resolutions ;
1. Jtcsolved, That in view of the actual con.
dilion of the Augusta Benevolent Society, more
especially of the prosperous state of its ticasury,
we have abundant causes to ho grateful to Almigh
. ty God ; and while with contrition we confess
e that all lias not been done fur the relief el the
sick-poor among us, still we are thankful at being
made the humble instruments ol doing some
e good.
e 2. Ifesolvcd. That the Society is under great
obligations lot the libcial donations pn L -r nted to
I. il dnrmg iho past year, from lho estate of Mr.
i Richard rulmian, and from the Grand Jury ot
Richmond county. .lime Term, is;iB,
d. Jivsotval, That iva present our sincere
thanks to the Editors of the Constitutionalist
t and Chronicle <.V Remind, for their generous
it oiler to publish gratuitously the notices of the
Society, and that we consider il moreover a very
liberal donation on their part to the Society.
•I. Jiaolved, That the Secretary he requested
e 1° lurnish this third resolution to the Editors ot
the above named papers for publication.
5. Kesolved, That the thanks of the Society
11 arc justly due to tiro olllecrs, lor the very fuilhlul
‘I discharge ol their duties.

by his friends to procure his banishment to tho

Sixteen other Stale prisoners were also released

The Prevailing Epidemic.
'I his subject has, at last, been regular ly brought
before the Hoard of Health, and they have done
their duly by giving publicity to the fact, that tho
Stranger’s Fever is now prevalent, and has been
su lor some time.
That they should have, as yet, hut little data
to enable them to give proper information us the
true slate of our health, does not at all suprise us;
hut now that they know that tho enemy is upon
ns, it becomes them to collect and publish nil
/rrc/v connected therewith. Let their reports be
received and read by the public, with a confidence
in their correctness. Let our friends, abroad, he
assured the matter is not worse than is there set
forth. Leave no lurking, soul-destroying dread
in the mind of iho absentee, that Death is ma
king more rapid havoc, than he had ever before
been per milted. Tho mind of man is prone to
make the last evil appear the worse, and, there
fore, for the moment, gloomy redactions may re -
main ascendant, but they should he schooled into
their proper sphere, and never be allowed to pro
ponderate, where activity and exertion are requi
red.
’Dint many of tho cases that have occurred
have been of a virulent character, and fatal in
their termination is the fact, ami such has usually
been the case, when iho disease lias prevailed.
Resides which, the weather has been peculiarly
unfavorable for a number of days past, continual
soaking rains, with an occasionally peering forth
of (he sickly-looking sun, just to open the pores
of the earth, and allow the vapors to rise, only
again to he over-clouded and avalanches of r ain
to he poured again upon the earth.
We distinctly ex| ress (he opinion tlint all who
are only temporary lesidents of the oily, and who
have the means of going away lor a season,
should do so without any delay—and have no
doubt that the destitute portion of our population
who may he subject to die disease,.will be fur
nished wilh the means of leaving by the proper
authorities. To such as intend making Charles*
ton their home, and the heme us their families,
wo say never leave the soil from which you tie.
rive your nurture and support, because her natu
ral enemy makes hut a show us attack. As sunn
should a leader of an army, or a soldier in the
ranks, who had been boasting ufbis valor, shrink
and lly from tire approach ol a foe. Let such in
dividuals manfully meet the crisis, trust to J’mvi
dencc, tho skill of their physicians, and the kind,
ness of their friend-, and they will, probably, in
a few short weeks, be equally prepared with the
natives, to aid the sick, and the strangei’s in their
turn.
For our own people wc have not a word to say.
They know their duly. It is not new to them.
We have physicians us skilful, perhaps, as any
on the habitable globe ; and the hearts of our
citizens are as philanthropic as ever boat in the
breasts of men. The sound of distress or pain
needs but to lie heard to rally hordes of friends
to the bed-side of llic sick stranger, and every
consolation that can he afforded to the sufferer
will be poured out wilh a boniticcncc ami a ful
ness that cart only he realized by those who have
experienced it.
Wc arc not, therefore, at all disheartened—all
that is to ho done is, to meet the disease at the
threshold, look, tho gloomy monster full in the
eye, grapple wilh him, anil through the sustain
ing support of a merciful and bcneficicnt Creator,
he must and will he, in a short lime, conquered.
Hrop fora few weeks the idea of rutin: attention
' to business, and neglect mine that arc, sick ; and
it will iic hut as a moment,‘when we shall find
ourselves again among happy, contented and
j prosperous faces, again immersed in tho cease

Whereas, the unforUmale occurrence of Strait'
gers I'ever, and the unusually huge number of
persons, recently arrived in this Oily, who are
subject lo the assaults of that malady, render il
necessary, in addition to all that lias boon done
that every oilier possible effort should bo made

restore the health of the City, and, at the same
moo, to alluviate ihe condition of iho suffering
poor, who aro unable to provide for themselves
now, tbeiefoic, lo the end (hut these desirable ,
objects may bo attained, and, under (ho blessing \
ot Divine Providence, ilto health of the City be

Ido hereby summon the Commissioners ot j
Health to convene, Thin Dm/, at 1(1 o’clock, at ,
the Council Chamber, lo make arrangements lor
a slriet examination ol all ihe lots in 1 heir respet's

Ido also hereby require the City Inspector, '
(Dr. A. C. Howard) carefully to examine the 1
IJtirnt District, and to take immediate measures
tor the correction of any nuisances, if any such 1
there ho, which may be discovered in llie said 1
District. I
Ido also hereby require Marshals Moses and !

fruiterers in Market street and other places, and 1
lo report thereon inslanter, and the suporinlcn- 1
drills ol slieclsare hereby required toaucoui| any
lbe Marshals, for the purpose of removing in
slanily any tilth or rubbish, or decayed vegetable
or animal matter, which may ho directed lo be re
moved liy the said Marshals, for the abatement
01, or as calculated to engender sickness,
1 do also hereby give notice dial arrangements
have been ooule lor a supply of ISioou tome, tout
Chloride of Dime, to all persons who may be una
ble lo procure those articles otherwise, ami dial
they Will be freely distributed lo all such persons
upon application at the office of llie City Inspcc.
lor, 8S Church street.
1 oo also hereby nolily all poor persons, strati*
geis, tba provision has been made fur Ihe exten
sion ol medical care, and suitable accommodation,
lo all, such ns may requiie the interposition of
the City, and that ibis provision will bo promptly
executed in every cute in which the names of
persons requiring such aid may bo loft at Ihe office
ol die Mayor, or the City inspector.
I do also hereby earnestly call upon Iho citizens
lo examine their premises, and to cause all offen
sive mailer to lie immediately remedied or remov
ed :to examine limit cellars, and to have whalov- '
er water they may contain immediately thrown
out, and to see dial their cellars arc kept open and 1
ventilated during the day ; and I do hereby give '
nonce that I shall accompany the Commissioners
of Health in their examinations ol lots and cellars, 1
and that, in every instance in which these requi- I
siln.ns are not attended lo ,lhc law will be instant- 1
y mid strielly ontorced.
His proper to add, however, whilst these efforts 1
arc made, and these additional precautions taken
lint the disease is by no means ns extensive now 1
as it lias been, in former years, at the same peri- 1
od rtf its existence; that every effort lias been
made, for months past, lw keep the city clean, ami 1
thus to preserve the public health ; that the cily 1
is believed in be cleanlier now that it ever has !
been in any prcceding’yi ar ; dial the disease is
entirely confined lo strangers, almost all of whom
have very recently arrived amongst us, and dial
the existence of die disease ilsell is entirely owing
to a peculiar constitution of the atmosphere, caus
ed by the late unparalleled beat of the weather,
followed ns it lias been by heavy and continued
rains, and to the hard labor, imprudent exposure,
and gross irregularity of those who were moat lo
a ile to lie affected by it. I do, therefore, again
warn all strangers, who can, to leave the • ily ; all
who cannot,lo avoid every thing by which iheir
si stern may lie overheated or inflamed, and expo
sure to die deleterious influence of the night air
and dew. Dot those simple and wholesome pre
cautions be taken by them, and much may be
done to attest the progress of this tearful malady,
and lo restore lo our city its accustomed cliutac
trr lor health.

day momii.g, 'Jlh inslant, at the advanced ago of I
ninety years, eight months and seventeen days, s
In the “days which tried men’s souls,” afnl during ,V
the whole of the revolutionary war, Mr. Morrell d
was a captain and major in the continental army, 1
and belonged lo the lourlh rogiineril of New Jin- 11
scy iiiiliiia. He was in the. buttle ol Hong island, 1
and received a bull in bis right breast, which pus. 1
sod through his body, above, bis lungs, and v,e *
lured bis shoulder blade, from the neighborhood 1
ol which the bull was subsequently extracted.
He also received another wound in Ins right bond. 1
lie narrowly escaped the continued lire of the 1
British troops, by feigning himself dead, and after I
Hie lialllo he was borne fro in Hie field lo N. Y., 1
in a hurdle,and his wounds wore dressed by the 1
surgeon general of the army. Before his wound- 1
were fully heated be rejoined the tioops, and was
at the tainted of li randy wine anil Uunnsuluwii,
us well as performed various services for die conn
mitten of safely, unlit, by ill health, ho was com
pelled lo retire.
It was not until the law of Congress passed in
183a, when he was over 85 years of age, that he
ever received a pension, since which lie lias shared
in the bounty of the government, by being placed
on the pension ioll.
In the year 1785, Major Morrell entered the
itinerant ministry ol Hie Methodist Episcopal
< HiUrcli, in which o/liee ho eontmued dll his death,
f or toe first twenty yeais or more he filled many
of the most Important stations in that denomina
tion, including New York, Philadelphia, Haiti- <
more, and Charleston, S. U. Ho travelled cxlon- 1
sively with the venerable Bishop. Ausbury, by S
whom lie was greally beloved, and for whom he k '
always relumed the greatest nlfeeliim. At length, I
by a rupture, occasioned by lus excessive lulmis in 1
the. itinerant field, bo was obliged wholly to tie- *
sen from tiuvelling, although he has continued to
preach every Sabbath, when his health permitted, s
in Elizaliclhlown and its vicinity, up lo August, I
1835, when he preached his last sermon, being '■
then neatly 88 years of age. Until ibis time Ins 1
physical energies wore but little impaired, and it 1
is said, though more than four score years old, he B
could preach as long ami loud as he could forty It
years before. His intellectual vigor did not even v
then tail him, as his manuscripts show, many ol v
them giving evidence of uncommon originality 1
and acuteness of llomglil. Indeed, up to the 1
hour of hi- death, he retained full possession of I
the (acuities ul his iniiid. 'J'be following entry
in Ids journal, made will, bis own hand on the I
first ol January last, is written in a slyle of perm '
manship which is l,mly astonishing, showing no *
evidence of tremor.in his hand, or faltering in his 1
nerves. It is introduced as n beautiful exhibition 1
of the slate of mind and beait which ho posses

nate as to he connected with the Government, and
which is always worth a premium, mid providing
it currency ofdcpreciatod paper lor tho people;
who are not conuccled with its operations.
We are told in reply |o this objection, that tho
people have the right to require gold and silver in
•ho payment of their debts; this is tine, hut they
ean never succeed in currying out the system ;
lor when attempted, it prostrates every interest.
Look how it Would work. A owes U, li de
mands the specie, A draws upon the flanks; so
far as their specinfurls, they pay tip: hut finding
the policy of every one, is In take their specie
from them, and lo stop the circulation of then
hills. In self defence they require the payment
es debts due them, to be made m specie likewise—
Now what is the result'!
Tho people owe the Thinks twice what the
Hanks owe them for tin ir hills ; one half of their
debt is extinguished by their own hills; how is
the other half to ho paid ! It must ho paid in
specie ; where is it lo come from ! The flanks
yet have all they stalled with, and one half the
debt of the people lo them is unpaid ! There is
not a sullieiency in circulation lo pay them ; hut
admit there was, where is the specie to come from,
to pay the debts the people owe each other ! It.
must be bought from the stockholders in the
Ranks, who will close up tho Hanks, and com
mence buying property—not in the character of
Hankers, hut as citizens; or lending it out. at a
rate of inteiosl, as great as they please to charge.
In bringing about all this, properly must he de

bundled dollars, and nil other property would de
crease proportionally.
