Export of Breaditnft—Advance of Freight*.
The New York Herald of Sunday says :—The
value of the transactions made in br'Kidetuffit yes
terday probably surpassed anything heretofore wit
nessed in this market sihce the famine year of
1847-48. If We suppose, which is not fat from
the fact, that 150,000 bushels of wheat were sold,
the sales will give the following aggregate fig
ures :
150,000 bushels wheat at an average price of $2
per bushel, $300,000
15,000 bbls. flour at an average price of
say, $8 per bbl 120.000
40,000 bushels corn at 89c 35,600
15,000 bushels rye at an average of about
Total $479,400
Making an aggregate of near half a million of
dollars worth of breadstuff's sold in this market in
a single dsy, and chiefly for export! When we
add to these products the sales of cotton and other
staple articles, the day's transactions probably a
mounted to half a million of dollars. Such a for
eign demand for our agricultural produce must
keep down the price of foreign exchange and pre
vent the shipment of specie, except at a consider
able loss. Last year our crops of breadstuff's were
failures. We had nothing scarcely to send to Eu
rope but cotton (and that in diminished quantity.)
and gold dust. As to flour and wheat the exports
nearly ceased. During the past winter and spring,
and first two months of summer, freights were
ruinously low. The lowest point reached during
the season for flour to Liverpool, was about 12)c
a 18c. per barrel, and 6c. a 10c. per bushel for corn
and wheat. The rates are now about !?1 per bar
rel for flour, and about 22c. a 23c. per bushel for
grain. To Havre, where flour and grain could
scarcely be sent at all at one time at nnv price,
ships now get $1 per barrel for flour, 25c. per
bushel for grain, and one cent per pound for cot
ton. This indicates a very great change for the
better. • Last season our exports were chiefly con
fined to gold and cotton. This year we have every
thing abundant. I’lcnty of cotton—plenty of
breadstuff’s, and plenty of gold from the mines of
California. A nation thus in a position to feed
and clothe all the rest of the world, with gold for
pocket money, cannot, except by reckless and
wasteful extravagance, fail to Ve tolerable well
off. =

Massacre ok Emigrants at Devil's Gate.—
Mr. John Wiggins, a s<m of Hilly Wiggins, of
St. Louis Mo., lias just called at our office and
given us the following information in reference
to the rumored massacre of emigrants at Devil’s
Gate :
The train consisted of ten wagons, 3000 head
of stock, and according to the statement of Capt.
Doniphan, of Missouri, who was captain of the
company, there were 300 souls. Mr. Wiggins
says he has no means ofknowing the exact num
ber of people in the train, but lie heard Captain
Doniphan say there were about 300. Ihe great
er part of the company were from Missouri.
Thev left St. Joseph, Mo., ou the loth March,
and got along very well until the 13th of July,
when they camped at Devil's Gate lorthe night,
tj> to this time they had seen but few Indians
on the load ; consequently they became careless
and declined “standing guard’’ at night. About
oneo’oiock at night,about ‘2OOO Sioux and Chey
ennes charged upon them while the whole com
pany were asleep, killing all bn’ six men, six wo
men and seven cliildieii, and dining oil’ evety
animal.
Among those who were killed were Captain
Doniphan, C >’. l’ierre Clioteau, of Si. Louis;

“The questions involved in the negotiation
are Understood to be of a delicate and highly
important character, involving deeply the inter

[From the Chronicle & Sentinel ]
State Road—What Does it Mean 1
\Ye are told that large dividends have been de
chired by the Western A Atlantic Railroad du
ring the year now drawing to a eloSe. We know
that the cars of the State road liavc beetl Sold by
the Sheriff’ in Tennessee—that the creditors of the
road have been compelled''t'O"Submit to a heavy
shave.
And now it appears ‘hat there is some dissatis
faction on the part of the Central, Macon and
Georgia roads, and that they have withdrawn
tln ir car? front the State Road. The consequence
is, that we do not behold even beggarly trains of
empty boxes. The business of the road has come
comparatively to t stand still. Wheat is trans-
I'orled on open trucks, exposed to all vicissitudes
ot weather. We are told that there are no cars.
Where are they ? Are they all sold ? or did the
road never own them ? Is this the Empire Slate?
Soi.l out at one end and borrowing at the other.
\\ lien no longer able to borrow, trade ceases, —
the wheels of industry are stopped along the whole
line—yet this road pays into the Treasury, dur
ing this administration, $150,000. It would be
better to sell it for a song, than for the credit of
the State so to suffer, and the industry of it;? cit
izens to be paralyzed from fear of a reliance so
insecu re.
Cass.
The \\ it.o Hint.— We are strongly inclined
to think [hat the approaching Legislature will
not be as seriously troubled with office seekers
as lias been the fate of its predecessors. The
American party, so far as its members are con
cerned, w ill, for reasons very clearly developed
by the ballot box, be quite moderate in the wild
hunt, whilst the democrats avowedly contend
ing for the good of the country will not so far
belie their profession of disinterested patriotism
as to mingle in any disgraceful squabbles for—the
tew petty offices to be distributed. We do not
speak, of course, from any fery accurate ittfot
mation, but after making tolerable diligent en
quiry it is our deliberate conviction that there
will not be more titan thirty or forty candidates
ft am this city. Now, if the citizens of the State
generally arc as modest as our own, the inference
is clear that if the offices do not go a begging,
there will go many an applicant begging for the
offices.— (o. Enquirer.
The Dost on lieu states that a gentleman hav
ing asked Senator Wilson how lie could consis
tently use Ins endeavors to overthrow a political
organization from which he had received the
most desirable office in the gift of the people of
Massachusetts, the honorable Senator replied :
“I'll blow the whole thing (American party) to
kill and damnation /”
Great country this, and it seems to bo full of
great men, whose prevaling greatness, however,
is mote apparent in their frequent resort to lan
guage similar to that above qttoted. A leader
in the old Dominion denounces the American
party as a “godless, lousy set,” While the “great
gun” of Georgia Democracy, (during his recent
trainpoosiug in one of the upper towns,) charac
terised the same party as “slimy toads.” To
odset this, another of the same stripe, according
to the Augusta Chronicle, stamps the aforesaid
great gun” as “a low down Scoundrel!” —
Verily, if we judge a tree bv its fruit, we should
say that among the everlasting great men of this
country, the spirit of anti-Americanism begets a
feeling of hatred for all who disagree with them
and a contempt for dignified conversation and
chaste language in their public harangues.— Cos.
Enquirer.
Pennsylvania —The Democratic
candidate for Canal Commissioner, has been elect
ed by a large majority. The American Party
had no candidate in the field, its Executive Com
mittee having advised his withdrawal, and the
support of the Fusion candidate. That the Fu
sion Party should be defeated in Pennsylvania,
is a matter for congratulation—bnt it does not
follow that there is any reason for Southern men
to fejoiee at the success of the Democratic Par
ty. Reeder, according to the Pennsylvania
standard, is a sound national Democrat.—Jour
nal dt Messenger.
A Second WultHeld. —Recent English jour
nals mention that a young preacher of the Meth
odist church is creating as much excitement as
Irving and Whitfield didin their day. The Lon
don correspondent of the New York Sunday
Times says : “His name is Spurgen, an Ihe can
scarcely have reached his 22d or 23d year, I
should think. His eloquence is extraordinary —
it overwhelms yott with its force and brilliancy;
and his voice lias the characteristics which
| Whitfield’s is said to have possessed— a ringing
■ tone, and capable-of being heard by an assem
blage of ten thousand persons.”

The Speakership. —The Washington Correa
pondentof the N. Y., Courier & Enquirer, says:
“Ex-Speaker Cobb and Mr. Stephens are elect
ed by great majorities, and both of fhem will be
liittididates for Speaker of the House. Cobb did
not mUfcli cotnmend himself to the Northern mem
bers of his party in his administration of the of
fline six ycard ago, blit if the Administration adopt
him (is its candidate lie will get tHe fllll party vote.
In a certain contingency he might receive all the
Southern Whig votes, and he would thus dbtain a
plurality, which after repented trials will, as
then, be declared sufficient for an elefctioii.”

Affecting Scene. —Col. Harringtoh, An of
ficer of distinction in the war of 1812, died at
his residence in Clarke county, Alabama, on the
125.1i inst. At his burial, his slaves collected in
large numbers near the grave, and one of them,
an old man, requested permission “to pray over
his old master.” llis fellow slaves and fellow
mourners joined in a hymn which he gave out
fiom memory, when he offered to the Throne of
Mercy a prayer, which for the deep pathos and
profound humility and adoration, could not be
excelled. The tears of a large concourse of white
persons present showed how deeply they were
moved by the fervor and earnestnes of this good
old slave.
A Washington letter says the fall of Sebastopo
produced great excitement ambtig the high officials
at the Federal capital, hy many b’f these etiiinent
personages the impregnability of that fortress did
not admit the questioning, and the opinion Al
so freely entertained that another winter in the
Crimea could not but prove fatal to the ht/pes of
the allies. The latter continues:
One of our oldest and most practical generals,
at present in this city, represents # his opinion,
the lighting and generalship of the French, in
their several attacks upon the Malakoff before
and including its final capture, as unequalled by
any military achievement of the present age.—
During General Scott's visit to W ashington last
summer, that distinguished soldier, in conversation
observed that the allies could only hope to attain
their object by the adoption of the plan, which he
then explained, and strange as it may appear, by
following the course pointed out by Gen. Scott on
the partofthe allies, Sebastopol no longer remains
a Russian fortress. The anecdote is now, for the
first time, made piiblic by ore tb whom it was re
lated, and might have been allowed to pass into
forgetfulness had not the cirCbmstance above men
tioned, the storming of Sebastopol, brought it to
recollection.
Few readers can be aware, until they have had
occasion to test the fact, how much labor Os re
search is often saved by such a table as the follow
ing—the work of one now in his grave. If “His
tory is Poetry,” as one who is a true poet himsel 1
forcibly remarks, then here is‘Poetry Personified.

Sale and Appropriation of State Bail Boad.
Wlien we hear that it ia the intention to at-Jl the State
Rail Road to prevent Executive patronage, let the sacri
fice be what it may, we are astonished. We snggest
that its value or cost be mado the basis of a circulating
medium equal in amount—that this circulating medium
be made a fund for Gxneral Education of all the chil
dren of Georgia, between certain ages, under the- control
of directors during good behavior, wbo shall likewise
have the appointment of all agentt on the State Road;
while the Inferior Chart of each comity shall be the trus
tees of a sufficient amount of these bills, Which are only
to hi receivable, (not redeemable,) (6 pay a sufficient
number of teachers quarterly, to teach alf the Children
in each county, as well as the appointment of such teach
ers. Herein overy man is interested by the value aa a
standing capital ; which capital may be made use of an
nually, so long aa the world lasts,for that purpose. That
these directors be under the immediate control and direc
tion of the Legislature. And that the fund placed for
general education be considered a trust fund in the hands
of the Inferior Chart as Trustees, and'that they be held
accountable as such for miss (or non) application. This
plan disposes of executive patronage and educates all
the children of Georgia for all time to eome, and stil 1
keeps the Road (not gold and silver) as a basis.
