WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 14.
Mo»r W»»*•<!•
Tliii is ■ usnal wsnt of all classes at this Bill
presenting season, ai.d we regret to say we are
not singular in this respect. Under ordinary
circumstances our wants at this period, would
have been great, but the late calamitous lire lias
made them much greater than they would other
wise hare been. We must therefore earnestly
entreat our friends not to neglect ns in this hour
«.f trial. “Entry little helps,'' and if ell of you will
piomptly send wbstyou owe, we shall lie very
much relieved-and we shall feel greatly obliged
to all those who can affordftmd will pay us a
year in advance.
booth Carolina has, therefore, renewed her
deterin nation to uiuintaiu and enforce those
laws tin reference to colored seamen) which
Great Britain has officially declared to lie in vio
lation of tho treaty between her and the Unit' d
States. The last British communications stated
the removal of these causes of complaint to hr;
an urgent necessity, and gave notice that the
tienaial Government would be called upon to
use its power to compel the observance of the
treaty. The nlFair begins to grow critical, and
to threaten either a grave for. ign or a domestic
controversy very soon.— Picayune.
Unlike the Picayune, we do not imagine that
the affair will either become critical or that it
threaten-' either grave foreign or domestic eun
tr , versy. The English Foreign Pecret iry lias
doubtless been made the victim, perhaps a wil
ling one, of an Abolition iutrigue ; hence, the
new and grave importance which tho ipiestion
lias becu recently made to assume by that func
tionary. There is but one policy for this gov
ernment In pursue in relation to this question
with both England and Frauce, and that was dis
tinctly indicated by Mr. Webster, some years
since, which was, that there would bo an end of
the treaty between the two governments, if the
English persisted in demanding free ingress
and egress to and from southern parts fur that
class of seunien, for the southern .States would
not übaniiou their rights under the Constitution,
to pass all laws necessary for the public safety.
W lien this government takes her position on
that pi .tform which she is obliged to do whenc ver
either England or France presents the issue, it
will then become their duty to determine wheth
er they can utrord to make the sacrifice of dis
solving the present treaties, or acquiesce in the
local laws of the Stales which exclude all such
seamen from their shores. This will present an
issue for those two governments, that will open
their eyes, and with all their affected devotion to
the causa of liberty, me imagine they will he
apt to estimate the conscqucnoes of persisting in
•heir demands. And unless wo er. atly under
estimate their powers of calculation, and give
them quite too much credit for their love of the
i.luiighty dollar, we am very much mistaken if
they do not prefer to lie content with things as
they are, and advise their shipmasters to assign
that class of seamen a different destination,
Counterfeit Note# In Clriulcil »•
W'k have, been shown a One Hundred Dollar
Counterfoil Note on the Bank of the State of
Georgia, payable at the Branch Bank at Wash
ington, dated Sept. 3d, 1848, signed A. Porter
Cashier, and (i. B. Cumniing, President.
The signatures of the Cashier and President,
are well executed, hut all the other part* nro
very indifferently done. It is a red back note,
with the words I ‘Stale Bank of Georgia" engra
ved on the hack in lurge letters, whilst the origi
nal has nothing of the kind on it. The vignette
and border differ entirely from the genuine
note. On the left hand end is a steamship, and on
the right n steam car and Locomotive—while
on the genuine note, there is nothing of the
kind.
The Coolest Impudence.
Whin Kossuth made his appearance in thi*
country, and boldly assumed to teach the Ame
rican people, their distinguished statesmen and
patriots, what were the true principles of our
government, and what the proper construction
to he placed upon the sentiments of the immor
tal Washington, we thought it, altogether, taking
into consideration his position and the circuni
stances under which he came to the country, a
piece of the most brazen faced impertinence, and
the coolest impudence that hud ever met our
observation. Nor have we been disposed to
change our opinion until we met with the fol
lowing article from the Baltimore Clipper, which
we think takes the wind entirely put of the sails
of the distinguished Magyar : Read it:
How it Works. —Two of the Hungarian 8
that came to this country in the steamship His
sissippi arc about starting u newspaper in New
York to bo devoted, first, to the freed m of
Hungary, and secondly to the local a Hairs of
the United .State*. The pruspoctus is pub ish
ed in the papers of that city, and looks very
much it* if the Abolition faction hud a hau l in
its drawing up. The editors, who sign them,
selves A uynrman and F. Wutschel, in speak
ing of that part of their jornunl which will he de
voted to the United States says;
Jhe full >wing are the pending questions of
the present policy in reference to which we
will give oar course and platform :
J. The slavery question. With regudtoit,
we consider the compromise no settled so
lution, but a provisional law, for the abrogation
of which, at least so far us the extradition of
slaves is concerned, we will employ all the
means which a public organ can comm md.
•J. Land reform. Wo defend the principle
of land reform, ami contend ng inst monopoly
of the soil.
The prospectus U uecotep uii )il by a certifi.
cate of character and capacity signed “L. K’S
jutli.”
Here are two men driven from the land op
their birth into a conterminous nation whete
they were held enplives until the generous
sympatliiesof the American people sttgges cd
the propriety of sending a national vessel to
bring them and 'heir associate exiles to our
shores, where they might breathe the air of
liberty, and escape the oppressions of the des
potisms of the old world. They came, destitute
of every thing. The recipients of the noble
bounty of the American people—the tvliol t
American people—and on their arrivul at New
York, were the objects of the charily of the
corporation ol that city, us long as the cityuu.
tlmrilies would tolerate them ; indeed, until the
city declined to foot the bill any longer.
Under such circumstances, two of their uuin
hcr, who go before the American people with
the certificate of Kossuth os to their purpose to
issue a journal, and in their programme of
uolicy, indicate their purpose to enter at once
ppon the tusk of changing the character of our
government, subverting its fundamental prin
ciples, and making the usages of the government
subservient to their utopian theories of sociaj
reform, unity and fraternity, and infusing into
our system the principles of agrariauistn.
This we think is decidedly cool—the coolest
piece of impudence that we ever recollect to
have noticed in all our observation of imperti
nent foreigners.
It is proper to remark that wo attach very
little consequence to the efforts of these gentle
men. notwi'hs'anding their desire to avail them
selves of the influence of Koasulh’s name. We
feel assured that among all classes, fanatics ex
cepted, of reflecting wen, they will be regarded
as impertinent and officious intermedlers, and
will be treated accordingly.
Atrocious Murder and Robbery-
We learn, that on Sunday night, about 11
o’clock, two persons came to the house of Mr.
Herring, in Columbia county, on the Washing
ton road, nine mile* above Augusta, and called
him to the front door, and requested to be allow
ed to stay all night. He asked them in. They
told him to come out, as they had a hotse and
buggy with them. As soon as he got outside
the door he was shot down. Mrs. Herring then
barred the door and prevented the entrance
of the murderers. About an hour afterwards
they returned and fired through an augur hole in
the door and killed her. She died in a few min
utes after being shot They then entered the
house and took therefrom one hundred and sev
enty dollars.
Mr. Herring survived to give the above par
ticulars of this atrocious affair, and was still liv
ing at the last accounts. He was shot twice,
and has two balls in his body. There is no pros
pect of his recovery from his wounds. He states
that one of the men was a large and powerlul
mulatto fellow. The other a white man.
A pack of good hack dogs have been procured
and put in pursuit, and we hope to he enabled to
announce the arrest of the murderers.
Mr. and Mrs Herring were an elderly couple,
aged about 60 years each, and were living by
themselves, there being no other persons, white
or black, living on the premises.— Constitution,:!,

Ihi Angnsia Bridge
j Some time since the Augusts Chronicle
charged ihalth- South Carolina Railroad, while
I complaining of the obstruction of the tolls and
1 portage between its depot and that of the Genr
g a Rallioad, was -dually ex'orting large
amounts of piofit f*r conducting this interme
diate lan-i• ess. We denied this charge, as in
deed the * hole history of the matter showed
it to be incredible, aad even absurd. But the
Chronicle lies in su’eta nee repeated it, ami
challenged a denial on the authority of the
President of the South Carolina Railroad. We
could only reply to such a challenge authori
tatively. We have converted with the Presi
dent, and are authorized to make the following
statements:
The difference in the charge for freight made
in their tariff of rates to "Hamburgaod Augusta
or the Georgia Railroad Depot,” was adopted
with a view to cover as near as possible, b it
never to exceed, the toll and drayage actually
paid over the Augusta Bridge, aud so farfrom
being any source of profit to the Company, it
has generally been a losing business, and in
some years the lots has been heavy.
Every consideration of interest, policy and
doty urges the Company to dish unhen trade
of every possible encumbrance and to reduce
charges that nece-aarily exist, down to the
lowest possible p.iint; and in the pursuance of
this obvious policy, the Eolith Carolina Railroad
could never for the sake of a petty gain, sacri
fice n touly more permanent but more certain
and immediate sources of profit.
Eiirdly. in confirmation of this, the President
informs us that the Company greatly prefer
delivering goods at their depot iu Hamburg at
the ra'es charged, to delivering them at the
depot of the Georgia Railroad. At particu'ar
times the remit may be slightly in their favor,
but in the aveiage it is certain not to be, be
cause their rule is simply to save themselves
from loss, and to find their advantage for the
toublc, in the increase of the business of the
road.
Til a above is the reply of the ( harli.-ton
Mercury, to our article, charging the Charleston
Railroad Company with receiving moie for the
transportation of goods than they paid. We
made the charge di-eet, and challenged a denial
upon the authority of the President- and we
pledged ourselves, if Mr. Conner denied, and
would give us access to his tariff of charges, and
wlial the Company pays, to prove the charge. It
h h not only not beendenled, but is virtually ad
millod in the article above —the subdued tone of
wli'cli shows how completely the Meicury and
' r. Conner are cornered.
Nor is this all, they have suppressed die truth.
\\ lietber they have suggested a falsehood, the
reader roust judge. Mr. Conner Mithorizes
the Mercury to say, that “the Tariff of rates
bet*ecu the Hamburg and Augusta depots was
adopted with a view to cover as near os possible,
hut never to exceed, the toll and drayage actually
paid over the Augusta Bridge ” This may have
been true at the time this tariff of rates was
adopted hut that it is not true now, no p an knows
better than the President of the Charleston rail
road company Let us see how a plain, unvarn
ished tulewill expose <hia shuffling of ihe Presi
dent behind his Tariff ofrate*. The T» iffofrates
ivns established in the spring or early summer of
1850, and was arranged to suit a conti act then iu
existence with an individual or comp my, who
had contracted to transport all merchandise and
produce between the two depots. That con
tract has expired long since, and the Railroad
Company have entered into another contract at
decidedly lower rates. And notwithstanding,
‘''every consideration of interest, policy and duly
urges the Company to disburthon trade of every
possible encumbrance, and to reduce charges
that necessarily exist down to the lowest possi
ble point,” according to the Mercury and Mr.
Conner, still Mr. Conner has been particularly
curefnl siot to reduce his tariff of rates down to
what lie actually pays for Ihe transportation of
goods aud produce between the Hamburg and
Augusta depots. For this suppression of a fact
we leave the Mercury and Mr. Conner to es
cape as best they may, and the intelligent
render may determine to what extent they
are guilty of endeavoring to make a false im
pression oil the public mind by their pieteud
ed denials and efforts at explanation.
Intekkatio al Magazine.—Through the po
liteness of Mr. Thomas Courtney, we have oil
onr table the January No. of tilts truly interest
ing monthly; and judging from the list of
contributors announced for the present year, the
new volume is destined to be more popular
titan any of the preceding. It is one among the
largest and most interesting periodicals of the
day, and we therefore commend it to the
patronage of the public .

Lafayotto Course.
The annual races, over this Course, com
menced yesterday. Notwithstanding the cold
weather there was a good attendance. The
track was in beautiful condition, and expectation
was on the tip-toe to see two fine races. The
first announced was a colt stake, for three year
olds, two mile heats—42oo entrance—half for
feit. There were four entries, but to the disap
pointment of the crowd, the only entry that
made its uppearancc on the ground was Mr.
John Harrison’s c. f. Maid of Edgecombe, who
finding no competitor, walked over the Course,
and took the purse, the other entries paying for
feit.
SECOND RACK —MILE HEATS.
There were four entries for this heat, bat on
ly’ three of the horses got oft' at the tap of the
drum. The race was well contested, until the
horses reached the last quarter, when John Har.
rison’s c. f., Maid of Edgecomb dashed gallantly
ahead, and won the race easily—Secession second.
Time lm. 525.
After the expiration of 15 minutes, the three
horses again started. The start was not as good
as the first, and it was not until the horses reach
ed the half mile post that they cair.e fairly down
to their work. They kept, as before, well to
gether, until entering the quarter stretch, when
the rider of the Maid of Edgecombe let her out,
and she again came in ahead ; thus winning the
race with apparent little exertion. Time—lm.
525.
The following are the .entries for this day's
purse, s3oo—two mile heats :
Mr. Singleton's b. f. Mirth, 4 years old, by Wag
ner, dam by Glaucus. Dress Red and Black.
J. Harrison, Sr.’s b. h. Nat Pope, 4 years old, by
Sovereign, dam Mary Elizabeth. Dress Fan
cy.
P. S. Fowlers (Mr. Turner’s) c. f. Elizabeth
McNary, 4 years old, by Ambassador, dam
Princess Ann. Red.
After the main race there will probably be a
sweepstake run.
The main race will come off' 1 o’clock pre
cisely.

The Ad Valorem Tax Bfll.
This enlightened and just measure has success
fully run the gauntlet though both Houses, and
now only awaits the Governor's signature to be
come a law. We presume it will meet his ap
prov and may now be considered the law of
the State.
We congratulate the friends of the measure on
the result.
A letter dated shortly before the sailing of the
Cambiia on the 27th ult., states that there was
but little business doing at Liverpool, it being
Christmas week, and the weather rather un
pleasant.
Correspondence es the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Wssuivoro* fiTV January 7, 1852.
By r«-f> ieu e to tiie pMo-cediug'ofa Commit
tee, sty tin:: theiu-elvcs the National Democratic
Committee, it will be perceived they Itave re
commended that a convention of the Demo
cratic party throughout ll:e Union, by delegate*
duly appointed by tbe Democrats of the serera
Slates, be held in the city of Ballimoie, on
Tuesday, tbe Ist day of June, 1832. In tbe
Washington Union, of tbe 3d January, 1632,
you will find an account of their proceedings.
You will also perceive that Joseph W. Jackson,
of your State, is one of the honored members
of that committee. That the people of the
South may know something of the feast to
which they are invited, I send you a copy of a
letter written by the chairman of tbis Commit
tee, B. F. HaUett, Esq., of Massachusetts, in
July, 1661. giving an account of tbe Democratic
party of his State, and foreshadowing the true
policy of the Democratic party in the Presiden
tial contest of 1852. Mr. HalleU's views thus
far have been followed to the very letter, except
they have repudiated the compromise. The frec
soif Democrats have hypocritically pretended
to be with them, in order to resume their na
tional relatio- sin the next administration. Mr.
R intoul of Massachusetts, is one already elect
ed as a delegate to the Baltimore Convention.
I presume that Mr. Hallett was not ae well ac
quainted with the policy of the Fire-eating Dem
ocrats of the South as to give any indication of
what they intended to do. They have done
likewise —and the comoined foice of Free-soil
ism and southern ultraism now controls tl.e des- I
tiny of the Democratic Party. How your rep- !
reseulative from Georgia, Mr. Jackson, can
look his people in the face, is to me a matter of 1
astonishment. Thinking as he does, that Cobb
and Toombs aud Ste. hens are unworthy the 1
confidence of the southern people, and then to
turu round and recommend that people to unite
in convention with Rantoul, Preston King,
Cleveland, and the abolitionists of the North, s
too humiliating to contemplate. I am uot sur
prised at the course pursued by the fire-eaters of
the South, in uniting with the freo-soilers of the
North, and organizing a party which they call
the National Democratic Party. It is iu accord
ance with every thirig they have heretofore
done. When you take iuto consideration the
two distinguishing characteristics of those two
factions, the want of principle, and the desire
for po «er, connected with their late disastrous
defeat, it creates no astonishment at their meet
ing iu harmonious council to secure the one, liy
exhibiting the other It is. however, a matter of
surprise that the conservative Democrats of the
North wi I not see the dangers into which they
will be driven. There are so many aspirants
tor the Presidency, and the chances for many of
them are so slim, that rather than be unsuccess
ful they would, no doubt, co-nperatc with free
Negroes. The more prominent, are jealous of
any and every man's position, the least promi
nent. I have no hesitation in believing that toe
lukewarm defence that has been given to Mr.
Cobb of your State, by tlnse Northern Demo
crats who agree with him in his present exalted
position, relative to the compromise and Uni n
question, apprehend that he might prove a dan
gerous competitor. They are willing and re dy
to receive all the benefits of his popularity and
position with the conservative southern Demo
crats, and at the same time will stand by and sec
him denounced l,y those whom he has so suc
cessfully put dow n in their efforts lo overthrow
the Government. But my object in this letter
was to give you the letter of Mr. Hallett, that
the people of Georgia may know what is to he ;
served up at the feast, to which Col. Jackson,
one of their representatives, and an exponent of j
the Southern Rights party, has invited them.
An Observer.
Boston, July 2, 1851 j
Dear Sir : I hasten to answer your favor
the earliest moment after its receipt, I having
been out of to wn —1 was not aware of the death
of Mr. Clarke. The Executive Committee have
power to till vacancies, and I wish you to au
thorize me to substitute your name, or m me one
approved by tho State committee of lowa.
1 he National convention, I presume, willbe held
in May, 1852, at Baltimore. We propose to
have a meeting of the National committee at
Washington, in January next, soon after the be
ginning of the next Congress, to confer as to
ihe time and place of holding the convention.
In the mean time, I am desirous, as chairman
of the committee, of obtaining from re.iable
sources in each State, the position of the Dem
ocracy on the issue which we must distinctly
meet i i the next canvas —of sustaining the
compromises of the last Congress as the adjust
ment of slave agitation in Congress.
This must be made the test issue, aud unless
the Democracy of each State can come up to it,
they will only embarrass the National party. In
this State, the Democracy is about disbanded
and merged in free soilism; hut a portiou will
be left, who will nffirm the rational principle,
and when this is done the rest will hypocritical'
ly pretind to be with us in order to resume their
Notional relations iu the next administration.
But Massachusetts is a mere cypher in the next
election. Her Democracy cannot give an
electoral vote, and the most we hope to do is
to prevent their doing any mischief. But in all
the States where a vote may he given, it is of
the utmost importance that the platform should
be laid down broad enough for the Union. It
will give me great pleasure to hear from you.
Very truly, your ob’t. ser’vt.

Emigrants to Liberia.
Fifty-one negroes, emancipated by the will o
the late John W. Houghton,left this city on Wed
nesday morning last, in the steamer Hancock for
Savannah, on their way to Liberia. They will
leave in the Packet which is expected to sail from
that port for Liberia in a few days.
Ample provision is made by the will for an
outfit for them, and for their support for a rea
sonable time after reaching the Colony.
Items.
George Steers, the designer and constructor of
the yacht America, received a complimentary
banquet in Nevv-York on Friday.
The new steamer Elk, we learn from the Ple
beian, is expected daily to be placed upon the
Elk river. She was built to order for a Com
pany who intend to run her upon that stream al
together.
Sin John Fbanklin.—lt will be seven years
on the 20th of next May, since Sir John Frank
lin sailed on the expedition which has excited
so much interest. The probabilities are that he
and his companions have long since perished.
The New York Commercial of Thursday after
noon says:
The mails that left by the steamer on Tuesday
night for Boston, by the Stonington boat, did not
arrive in time for tne steamer that left at noon
yesterday.
The Hungarians in New York have written
a letter to the mayor of that city, expressing their
deep gratitude for the many acts of kindness
shown them, personally, since their arrival in the
steamer Mississippi.
Gale.—A violent gale blew over Galveston
on the night of the 29th ult., which did much
damage to some of the steamers and small boats
in port, and also to the foot wharf.
Cold.—From all accounts it wonld seem that
in the recent very cold weather old winter threw
his black and Iror.en mantle over the whole
country.
Asylums fok Idiots.—A State Asylum for
Idiots has been established in New York. Simi
lar institutions in France, Germany, England
and Massachusetts have produced highly satisfac
tory results. Specimens of the work of the pu
pils in carpentry, shoe making, needle-work
writing and drawing, have surprised and delight
ed those to whom they were exhibited.
Petrified Man.—The Morris (111.) Yeoman
states that not long since, while some men were
digging a coal bank, near the canal,they exhumed
the body of a man in a perfect state of petrifac
tion. From the conluroy cloth in which the legs
were encased, the cords and seems of which are
perfectly defined, it is supposed to be the body
of one of the Irish laborers engaged in the con
struction of the canal. The limbs are nearly
perfect, and are completely transformed into
stone.
The emigration from various Irish ports, be
tween March and October 1801, inclusive, is
put down at 270,000 persons!
On the western waters during the year 185
53 steamboats were lost—64 seriously injured—
-700 persons killed, and a million and half of pro
perty sent to the bottom.
A resolution has been introduced in the Sen
ate of Tennessee, providing that any “ soft talk”
to the gentler sex, which is not serious inten
tioned, shall be punished as a misdemeanor.
Eighth or January. —The Savannah Geor
gian says the anniversary of the battle of New
Orleans was celebrated with much pomp in
that city.
The English papers say that Lord Campbel
has laid down a rule that every plaintiff or de
fendant who is to be called as a witness must be
out of court from the commencement of the case
until he is put into the box, and that as soon as
he has been examined he must again leave the
court.
Four hundred and eighty-one buildings, be
side 41 additions, were erected in Washington
City during the year 1851. This exhibits Wash
ington in a state of rapid improvement.
When the winds of applause blow fresh and
strong, then steer with a steady hand.
The Atlantic, we regret to perceive, brought
no intelligence of the 'steamship The City of
Pittsburg, which sailed from Liverpool on the
30th oflast November, for Philadelphia. Serious
apprehensions for her safety are entertained.
' To«napo in Mississippi. —The Tomsdo which
wently swept the MissMsippicoust.and to which
we referred, in our last, was more destructive
i of life and projierty than was at first reported.—
Some twelve or fifteen lives were lest, several
houses blown down, and a large amount of dam
age done to property of various kinds. The
Baton Rouge Advocate says, the damage in the
immediate neighborhood of that place would
amount to at least SIOO,OOO.
The maiden name of Lola Montez was Rog
sanna Gilbert, and she it the daughter of a poor
shopkeeper in one of the British islands. She is
now past twenty-seven years, and, it is said )
still retains her beauty.
Railroad Meeting. — The citizens o Benton
county, Alabama, held a meeting in the Court
House on the oth instant, to take into considera
tion the propriety of instructing their Represen- j
tatives, in the Legislature, as to the position of
that county, upon the bill now pending before
their Legislature, to aid by endorsement, the
Selma and Tennessee River Railroad Company.
The object is to connect the Alabama and
Tennessee rivers. Thus there would be a di
rect communication between the Tennessee
river and Mobile Bay.
There was some sense in the remark of a
Scotchman who, in reading the sayings of Solo
mon—‘Snow is beautiful in its season,' exclaim
ed, ‘Ay, nae doubt it is beautiful to you, sitting
with the vines and lasses of Jerusalem aside you
but had you been a poor stone mason, ye had said
no such thing/
Tariff.— This puzzling name is derived from
the town of Tarifa, at the mouth of the Straits
of Gibraltar. It was the last stronghold which
the Moors disputed with the Christians; and
when the former held possession of both the pil
lars of Hercules, it was here that they levied
contributions for vessels entering the Mediter
ranean, whence the generic name.
Painful. —A young lady of Cincinnati, step
daughter of a well known merchant tailor, has
just received the painful information that a rel
ative in Eugland has taken leave of all subluna
ry things, and left her a little legacy of $-30,000.
The Universal Yankee.— Not many years
ago the commander of a Russian Exploring Ex
pedition, in the Atlantic Sea, coming on a re
mote and solitary island, was proceeding, as a

The New York Tribune says that a Company
is forming in New York to undertake in earnest
the construction of a Canal to connect the Atlan
tic with the Pacific, by a new and more South
ern route. The company is styled the Atrato
Interoceanic Canal Company.
The route possesses advantages which Baron
Humboldt long since proclaimed to the world,)
and which are recorded in Congressional docu
ments. — [House Report, No. 145.] The Atrato
route is the most southern of those proposed for
water communication between the two oceans.
It commences at the very root of the Isthmus,
where the Bay of Uraba opens the way into the
mouth of the Atrato. This is a line stream about
180 miles in length, with a very straight course
and gentle current, and a depth of seven to
twelve feet, according to the season. It rises in
a swamp, which, on the southwest, sends out the
San Juan, whose course for about sixty miles
brings it to the Pacific, and one of the finest har
bors known.
Both these streams flow through regions
abounding in gold mines; and the mountain
ranges, which interpose an uninterrupted wall
between the oceans, from Mexico downward,
here sunk and disappeared. Yet these two rivers
have been out of the range of travellers since
the overthrow of the Spanish power. The pop
ulation is very thin, and some large districts are
almost unpeopled and in the possession of the
Indians. Humboldt learned, to his surprise, that
a canal was dug in 1788 between the head wa
ters of the two rivers, by the inhabitants, and
served for many years for the passage of loaded
boats, carrying merchandise between the wes
tern coast and different points, even as far as
Carthagena, The Congress of New Granada
have recently granted to some Americans an
exclusive privilege to make a canal for the pas
sage of larger vessels, with rights and facilities
of the most favorable character. Everything in
dicates that active operations will soon be com
menced in those new and inviting regions, in
various departments of industry. Specimens of
several ores, particularly of gold, are in this city,
which attest the riches beneath the soil, some
having yielded at the rate of $22 to the pound.
The rock is easily pulverized.
Washington, Jan. 7.
All the circumstances connected with the al
leged difficulties on board the U. States steam
frigate Mississippi, after she started with Kossuth
and companions for this country, as reported un
der the authority of an attache to our papers, are
gospel truths, and are on record in the Navy De
partment, and will be furnished when called for
officially by Congress. The thing went so far
that Kossuth challenged Captain Long, but sub
sequently withdrew the challenge and apologis
ed. This apology sealed Capt. Long’s lips—for,
among men of honor, retraction and apology
close the lips of both parties. Still the facts oc
curred, although suppressed for the timo. It was
a series of petty insults and vexations continued
irom day to day.
[We give the above, remarking that tre have
confidence in the authority. It only goes to prove
what we said in effect, at the time of these al
leged difficulties, that it was nonsense to expect
perfection from Kossuth, any more than from any
otker man—he being human like all the rest of
us, and, therefore, liable, to similar failings, mis
apprehensions, &c. But the nobleness of the
tiue, the honest and the brave man comes out in
the subsequent ample acknowledgment and apo
logy when once seeing his own error and the
wrong done a friend. Let others imitate the
example.— Editors S««.]

MELANCHOLY DISASTER!
Explosion of the D. S. Mail Steamer Magnolia—
. Lou of Captain McNally, and Eleven Elands be
longing lo the Steamer—Total Destruction ol the
Boat.
Frotn a passenger who arrived in this city on
Sunday*morning, from Darien, we are placed in
possession of the melancholy intelligence of the
explosion of the U.S. Mail Steamer Magnolia,
Capt. P. McNelty, on Friday afternoon last, at
4 o'clock, while lying in the stream si St Simon's
Island, opposite the plantation of Mr. J. P. Coop
er, taking in a quantity of Cotton from a flat.
The Magnolia was one of the regular mail boats
which ply between this city and Florida, and has
always been considered one of the finest and
fastest boats on our waters. She was quite a
new boat, and bad been lately thoroughly re
paired, and a new boiler placed in her, manufac
tured at the Foundry of Mr. A. Miller, of this
city. We are told by disinterested individuals,
who were employed in constructing the boiler,
that it was manufactured of the best material,
and no pains or expense were spared to make it
a superior piece of workmanship.
The explosion was tnily terrific. The main
mast was broken into three pieces, and some
bales of cotton on deck were thrown one hun
dred and fifty yards from the steamer. The
whole of the forward part of the boat was blown
out, and she sunk in five or ten minutes after the
accident. By great exertions, the passengers
were saved, with the exception of two on deck,
who were killed by the explosion.
A letter received in this city from a gentle
man in Darien, who derived his information from
a passenger, states that the Magnolia is a com
plete wreck, being entirely broken into frag
ments.—Capt. McNelty, we are sorry to relate,
was blown overboard, and has not been found;
the supposition is that he was instantly killed.
The barkeeper. Mr. Thomas Cody, of this city,
and eleven hands belonging to the boat, were
killed. The mate, Mr. Mattier, the first engi
neer, Mr John Austin, a native of the city of
New York, and ten others (says the same letter,)
are more or less injured. Nothing was saved
from the wreck.
Great credit is due to the first steward of the
lioat, Samuel Whaley, a colored man, by whose
exertions the lives of several ladies, passengers,
were saved.
Apassenger who was on the boat at the time of
the explosion, informs us that the total number
of persons on board, as far as could be ascertain
ed, including passengers and crew, amounted to
sixty-three. After the passengers succeeded in
getting on shore, an effort was made to ascertain
how many were lost, and it was believed that
only eleven were missing. All the ladies, it is
said, were saved. The passengers got into the
flat which was alongside of the steamer at the
time of her explosion, and landed at Ml. Coop
er's plantation, where they were kindly treated,
and where every possible attention was given to
the wounded.
The Magnolia parted at the shaft, and the
bow floated off and capsized. The stern gradu
ally settled but did not sink entirely, having a
qaantity of cotton on desk. Nearly all the pas
sengers were in the cabin at the time of the ex
plosion. Mr. Thomas Cody was taken on shore
and in about fifteen minutes afterwards expired.
St. Simon’s Island is about fifteen miles from
Darien. Mr. Joseph Ross, of this city, a passen
ger, immediately left the Island for Darien, and
came to this city yesterday morning, bringing a
letter containing the sad intelligence. Mr. Ross
was rowed across the river which divides the
Island from the main land, and saw the bow of
the Maguolia floating down the liver, nearly five
miles distant from the place of the disaster.
Capt. McNelty and Mr. Ross were on the up
[»er deck oi the boat in conversation, not more
than five minutes before the explosion occurred.
Capt. McNelty was walking forward at the
time of the disaster.
The Magnolia belonged to a company in this
city, of which Mr. M. A. Cohen was the agent.
The first engineer, Mr. Austin, was skillful in
liis business, and had the reputation of being a
fust rate engineer and machinest. He was for a
time employed on the steamship Alabama as
second or third engineer.
What was the immediate cause of the acci
dent is not known, and probably will never tie
found out.
A letter from Darinn to a gentleman in this
city, says:—“Gen. James Cooper, of Florida, a
passenger on board the Magnolia at the time of
her explosion, has just arrived here with a por
tion of the U. S. Mail, taken from the steamer
in a damaged state. The whole of the forward
part of the boat was blown out, and she sunk in
five minutes afterwards. 1 have forwarded five
ti.ail-bags in charge of Mr. Joseph Ross, a resi
dent of Savannah, and a passenger on board of
the Magnolia.”
Capt. McNelty was an estimab'e man and a
careful and experienced officer, and was greatly
esteemed by the travelling public. He leaves a
wife and large family of children in this city to
mourn their irreparable loss.
At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, the agents
of the Magnolia sent the steamer J. Stone to the
place of the disaster, with a physician on board,
to render such assistance to the wounded as they
required, and to bring the passengers to this city.
The Magnolia was on her return trip from
Florida to this city, and was due on Saturday
morning. Very little anxiety, however, was
felt on account of her non-arrival at the usual
hour, as the high winds on Friday, it was
thought, had detained he/. When the intelli
gence of the disaster reached the city, it pro
duced a very general sensation, as a large num
ber of our citizens were supposed to have been
on board. No list of the passengers on board
was forwarded, and no further intelligence from
her can be received until the Welaka arrives,
which steamer is due to-day at noon, or till the
return of the J. Stone.
[From the Charleston Courier , 13i/i inst. J
Arrival of the Marion.
The steamship Marion, Capt. Berry, arrived at
her wharf about midnight from New York.
We learn by this arrival that the new steam
ship James Adger, was launched in fine style at
noon on Saturday, from the Ship Yard of her
builder, Win. H. Webb.
We are indebted to our New York contempo
raries, for copies of their Journals of Saturday,
as also to the Purser of the Marion for their
prompt delivery.
We perceive from a telegraphic despatch from
Washington, in the New York Herald, that it is
stated on unquestionable authority, that Mr.
Clay has written a letter in favor of Gen. Cass
for President. It is also asserted that Mr. Fill
more will soon be out with a letter, declining to
be a candidate, but intimating that he is in fa
vor of Mr. Webster. Great commotion is said to
exist among the other Presidential candidates.
The steam ship Brother Jonathan, from Cha
gres 20th ult., and Kingston, Jamaica, 3d inst.,
arrived at New York early on Saturday morning.
She brought, however, no later intelligence from
California.
The Cholera still lingered in many of the pra
yinpiftl towns of Jamaica. The Kingston Stan
dard of the 30th ult., stated that private letters
had been received, stating that Sir Charles Gray
was about to be recalled, and that Lord Harris,
the present Governor of Trinidad, would be his
Successor.
The steam ship Union was laying at Chagres
awaiting the arrival of passengers.
The U. S. mail steam ship Pacific, Capt. Nye,
sailed from New York for Liverpool, on Satur
day, with forty-nine passengers, and nearly a
million pf dollars in specie in the following pro
portions, viz: $624,100 in American gold, j£l,llQ
in sovereigns, and *3OO in English silver,
The Ohio, Capt. Schenck. sailed from New
York on Saturday for Chagres, crowded with
passengers.
Gov. Johnson, of Pennsylvania, has addressed
a letter to the President of the U. States, agreea
ato the request of a recent meeting in Phila
phia, soliciting an official appeal Irom Wash
ington in behalf of the Irish exiles in Van Pie
man’s Land.
The strong fueling lately exhibited in the mining
districts of California in favor of introducing slave
labor into that portion of our territory on the Pa
cific, has, we perceive, had its effect on many citi
zens on the Atlantic coast who, well aware of the
innumerable advantages that would oocrue to them
were they permitted to employ that particular de
scription of property in the gold regions, are daily
making arrangements for the transportation of
themselves and slaves to that section of our posses
sions, and that fine steam ship, the Isabel, has on
several occasions had on board some passengers with
their servants en routo for tho Pacific. On her last
trip, she took out a large number, amongst whom,
as we loarn from the Yorkvillo Remedy, wore twen
ty young men with as many nogrocs, from Burke
and Catawba Counties, North Carolina—some, says
tho Remedy, hardy looking fellows, who seemed
bent to havo their share of tho gold dust, if hard
work or hard knocks can bring it. The following
is a list of their names:—R. C. Perkins, and four
servants; Thos. Walker and throe do., T. J. Cor
pening and one do.; W. A. Wallace and one do.,
Bartlett Berry and one do.; T. Avery and one do.;
J. Keller aud one do, Patton Pearsons and three
servants of R. C. Pearson's; Jackson and William
and two servants; Robert Long, Wilburn Patton,
Thomas Walker, William Dorsey, Henry England,
Philo Kay lor, Michael Keller, Isaac Whisenhunt,
Monroe Webb, Daniel Hicks, Joab Hicks and three
servants of James C. Smyth's.
We understand, likewise, that soveral other par
ties from North Carolina, are about starting with
their slaves, and that the agent in this City, for the
Isabel, has several applications for passage, and we
have little doubt their labors will be attended with
such success as to indace a very large emigration
from the slave-holding States, during the next year,
os from all accounts there are there certain seasons,
as in the Southern States, when negro labor is alone
available with safety to health in damp and marshy
localities. —Charleston Courier, 12/A inst.

COTTON. —Our market opened on Wednesday last
with a fair demand, at the following quotations : Very
Inferior to Ordinary, 6 s 6) a 6); Middling, 7 a "J;
Good Middling. 7| a 7|; Middling Fair, 7! a 7f; Fair,
7J; Fully Fair, no sales. On Thursday the demand
continued good, and salos were made to some extent
before the Cambria’s accounts were received. After
the receipt of her advices, the quantity offering was
less, and holders were enabled to realite prices they
could not get in the morning On Friday there was a
good demand, and the sales made were generally at ! a
! cent advance on the lower grades, and full ! on the
higher, over the prices of Wednesday last. On Satur
day the demand continued good, and the sales made
were at fall prices. On Monday and Tuesday the de
mand was kept np, but the stringent prices asked by
holders, caused buyers to he more cautious in their clas
sification, so much so, that we found generally a differ
ence of about ! cent between them in prices and grades,
at the close of our inquiries yesterday. Middling Fair
was then selling at 7J, and Fair at 8 cents, with ready
purchasers—no Fully Fair offering.
