in this meeting we observe the nanus* of some of
the leading D.m zirrats in the countj, and we pre -
same numerous others participat'd in the dcliber
atior.a.
At a uncling held at Cherokee Hail, Manila,
on the 6th inst., of the Union Republican jwrtv of
Cobb County, to ratify the proceedings of the iate
Republican Convention,
On motion of Dr. M. G. Slaughter, Maj W rn. Y.
llanaell was called to the Chair, and on motion or
A. A. Winn, Dr. Slaughter was colled aa a- ociate
Chairman, and Robert 8. Burch, Esq., requested
to act aa Secretary.
On motion of Gen. A. J. Hauscll, a Committee
of five consisting of A. J. Harisell, N. B. Knight,
N. M. Crider, A. A. Wir.n and E. W. Joiner, E-iqri.
was appointed by the Chair to report matter for the
consideration of’thc meeting.
The Committee through the Chairman made
the following
eerobt:
The questions which have for several years lost
past, and which do now agitate the whole countn.-,
arise from the existence of the institution el ela
vrry. It is against that institution that aoouftoft,
regardless of constitutional barriers, agitates
and threatens—and against it, that fruMviMn has
banded its numerous organizations in the free
States of the Union.
We nave witnessed an attempt by these factions
to foist upon tfc%country the “ Wilmot Proviso, ’
and we have witnessed the defeat of that attempt,
in the passag > of the Compromise measures of
1850. In the maintenance of these measures,
which gave to the South aii she coold demand by
virtue of Constitutional right, the Union party of
our own section defeated an eftort in tne slave
States to resist the Compromise and directly in
tended to dissolve the Union.
It will not be denied, that a party has been long
growing up in the South, friendly to disunion. It
was the boast of II r. Ekolt in the U. S. Senate, that
he hod been a disuniouist for twenty years, and he
but represented thousands of others, who tired of
regular government, or maddened by ambition,
have long since been prepared to attempt the un
tried experiment of bettering their fortune by re
volution.
The scenes of 1650 are fresh in the minds of all.
the Abolitionist had been foiled by the passage ol
the Compromise Measures, and were venting their
dissatisfaction in opposing “the f ugitive slave law,”
in threatning disunion, and in denouncing the
sacred charter of our Union —The (Joiutitutum
—as a “league with h*U.”
Tho secessionists, or if they would prefer being
so called—tho Southern Rights democracy were in
-1 sioti at Nashville, fulminating their auathemaß
iiguiuatthc Compromise, and urging the assem
bling of a.Southern Congress “to provide for our
independence.’’ There were two parties North
end South, at war with the Compromise and the
Union, and at one lime it was fearfully doubtful,
even if the tjoneermliven succeeded in the Southern
states, whether or not the catastrophe of dUunion,
might notstill result from tho uctionof the fanatics
at the North. But tho storm passed—the conser
vatives of the Union rallied in their strength, re
solved that tho compromise should be maintained,
a id in pursuance of this resolution, and with the
belief that ho represented tho union sentiment,
contributed lurgely to the majority of Gen. Pierce.
And now when we did anticiriatci.il the exulta
tion which flows from successful action in a righ
teous cause, we are met with disappointment, and
the cloud which lowered over the Union, seems
dark and more portentcous than ever. The
enemies of the union, were defeated in divition.
The union men of the South defeated tlio adher
ents of the Nashville convention. The union men
of the North defeated tlio Abolitionists. It has
ticen reserved for President Pierce, to combine
their scattered forces, by giving to each of these
divisions, North and South, power and efficiency
through the patronage of the government. What
friend of tho constitution, and of the just rights of
the South in the union, can contemplate a crisis
thus foreshadowed, without dread nnd alarm?
Who can feel safe, and at peace, with the knowl
edge that men, controlling powerful factions, now
control our government, who but two years ago
would have looked with delight upon its broken
fragments.
11l view of liicso unquestioned facts, wo, the
Oorißcrvative party of Cobb County, opposed to
disunion on the one hand, and abolitionism on the
other, with a firm reliance upon the intelligence
and patriotism of u majority of the American peo

rights,

Wisconsin is absorbing the great body of tho
migration to snch nn extont that Michigan finds
herself rather neglected, and the papors of that
Stato are discussing moans for diverting the stream
settlors to their own vacant lands. According to
tho Detroit Froe Press, much of tho popularity of
Wisconsin with emigrants is to bo ascribed to the
judioious laws passod by tho Legislature of that
Stato to oucourago emigration thither. The Do

passed through Buffalo from Quebec 0 few days
ago, on their way to Wisconsin.
Accidents in coat mines in Groat Britain are so

At a meeting recently held in London to promote

Florence and Nashville Railboad— We learn
from the Florence Gazette that the Nashville and
Alabama Bailrokd Company and the Florence and
Nashville Railroad Company, have agreed to unite
their roadsat the State line dividing the States of
Alabama and Tennessee. This agreement seals,
we believe, all controversy between the two com
panies, and on tho strength of it the Alabama
Company have employed Mr. Anderson, a compe-
engineer, to survey and locate the road from
Flic ace to the State line, so «a to have it ready to

Weather ulCrops.
! I* Louisiana. —The Alexandria Democrat of the
i 28th alt., says:
Within the last ten days we have had frequent
shower* nf rain. The crop* promise well.
Tho Shreve.ijA.rt Southwestern, of the 29th ult_,
says:
The plants, though backward, generally have a
very promising appearance in this parish. A fail
size cotton boil has been picked from the field of
Mr. John Raine, nine miles south of Mar.-hail.
From Bowie county, Texaa, we learn that the
crop* look well. Ou the cane lands in the bot
toms, and the uplands adjacent, both cornand cot
ton arc fair; but on the black lands cotton is not
good. In Bed River connty, corn and cotton are
now backward, but if tho weather continues good,
average crops ot both will be made. Mr. Daniel
Mathis, of Pine Creek, has sent to the Clarksville
Standard several large fall heads of wheat, as a
specimen ol this season’s growth. Mr. M. intends
to contend for the silver goblet premium offered
by the agricultural association of Texas.
Mr. Black, of Bossier parish, bas sent to the
Minden Herald a cotton limb containing full
grown bolls, the growth of the present year.
The Mansfield Advertiser says:
We have had a fine Bhower and some sprink
ling of rain in Mansfield and the surrounding
country during the present week. The crops are
doing tolerably well; in fact felly as well as can be
expected after the late, wet and backward spring
with which our planters had to contend. In the
western part ot the parish there has not been a
sufficiency ot rain lately, and the crops begin to
nutter for want of it.
The Jackson Mirror, of the 80th uIL, Bays:
All above and around ana beneath ns bas turn
ed to nearly a white beat. The corn is ruined.
Thousands of acres will not more than pay for
harvesting, and hundreds will not be harvested at
all. The cotton is not yet ruined, but much of it
wilts with the rising sun, and stands all day as if
dying, while all of it is destined to be small unless
wo have heavy rains soon.
The Feliciana Whig, of the 29th ult., says:
Captain Lewis Sturgis, of this place, has pre
sented us with a cotton boll about two-thirds
grown. The boll he sent us was evidently decayed
to a considerable extent. Planters of experience
who examined it, pronounce the disease with
which it was infecteed the regular cotton rot. The
boll was from a bloom of the Bth of June.
The Opelousas Courier, of the 2dißßt., says:
We had a good rain on Monday last; crops con
tinue to improve; country healthy, and business
dull.
The I’ointe Coupee Echo, of tho 2d inst., nays
While our neighbors in the upper part of tho
parish had to complain, if of anything, of too much
rain, we, ill the lower part of Pointe Coupee, False
River and the Islaud, were suffering from a
drought that seriously ipjured our corn crop. The
cane and cotton passed t hrough the fiery ordeal al
most unscathed, and will now have more to fear
from moisture than from drought, as it commenced
raining yesterday with a will and vigor that con
vinced us that the month of J uly will be as wet as
its predecessor.
The Claiborne (Ala.) Southerner of the 2d inst.,
says:
Wc had another refreshing rain Wednesday
night last. In some portions of this county no
rain has fallen for several weeks, in others the
planters have had too much. One tiling iscortain,
the corn crop will be very short; the cotton crop
no better.
The following remarks of the Greensboro’ Bea
con, of tho Ist inst., as to the prospect ofthe crops,
says the Montgomery Advertiser, arc applicable
to almost ull sections of the State. About Mont
gomery they have had some rain lately, but it is
feared too lato to repair, or even mitigate the in
jury sustained by the drought. Cotton may re
cuperate, but tho corn is pretty generally a “gone
case”:
The Dbouobt. —lt is now upwards of three
mouths since wo have had in this place, or vicini
ty? a plentiful rain. During the month of April
we had two tolerably good, though not plentiful
rains, since which, wo have had only a very low
light showers, scarcely sufficient for thoroughly
laying the dust. In some neighborhoods east and
southeast of this, they have had one or two pretty
good seasons within tlio last few weeks ; and we
understand the crops in those neighborhoods are
nothing like as unpromising as they are in this
section generally. The corn crop, except in the
bottomlands, is, in most cases, too far gone to bo
benefited by tho future rains. Many fields will not
produco a bushel to the acre. Cotton has also been
doing badly for the last two or three weeks.—
From present indications the corn crop will bo tho
shortest made in this section since wo have re
sided in it, which is a period of some eighteen
years, and tho cotton crop dccidodly a short one.
The Camden (Ala.) Republican of tho 2d inst.,
says:
No rain yet. Corn has suffered so severely that
we can entertuin no hope of its now recovering,
even if the windows of Heaven should be opened
for tho next month. Cotton looks dwarfish and
sickly, but has timo to recover yet, if the season
should henceforth bo favorable. It may now be
regarded ns a fixed fact that the corn crop is a
failure, and that the cotton crop will not astonish
tho world.
The Columbia (8. C.) Banner of the 80th inst.,
says:
The disastrous drought still continues —vegeta-
tion is almost destroyed, und fearful deficiency
in crops may be anticipated. Tho oak trees in
the neighborhood are dying of thirst. The thor
mometer yesterday, reached 95 degrees in the 1
shade.
Tlio Yazzo (Mish.) Democrat, of Wednesday the
29th ult says:—Tho weather continues dry. For
sovcral miles around tho city there has not been
rain enough for nearly two months to completely
lay the dust. In some portions of this and Holmes
county thero lias been an abundance of rain. W e
have heard of some plantations on one portion of
which plenty of rain has fallen, while on the other
thero has been none. The corn crop must be
short; several valley planters have told us that they
will not mako ton bushels to the acre. Cotton
continues backward.
The Memphis Whig, of Tuesduy last, says—A
short trip into tiro country gavo us an opportunity
ofviowing tho crops and prospects. Since tlio
rains of last Thursday, which wore pretty general,
the corn and cotton crops have improved much
nnd look to bo in a healthy, thriving condition.
Tho wheat and oat crops are very indifferent and
will not prove much more than hulf a crop.
In several neighborhoods in this and Fayette
county, we heard of numerous cotton blooms hav
ing made thoir appearance during the past week;
also, from Marshall county, Miss., wo hud the
same report. With seasonable weather during
July ana August, the planters may yet mako ex
cellent crops of both corn aud ootton.
The Florence (Ala.) Gazette, of the 25th ult.,
says—Wc wero shown the othjeT day a full grown
cotton bloom, grown on tho plantation of Thomas
J. Foster, in Lawrence county. This is the first
wo have heard of during tho soaeon.
Wo learn from tho Vicksburg Whig that aglo
riously refreshing rain foil at that place on W ed
nesday night last.
Extract of a lotter to tho Editors of tho Southern
Recorder, dated
Stai-.ksville, Juno 28, 1853.— Partial showors
have deoondod recently over this section Os coun
try —not insufficient quantities in somo places to
do much good—yet others copiously. The con
sequence is that many are needing rain and those
who havo not planted and cultivated as they
should havo doue, are in a fairway to make but
little if any Cotton. Cotton is generally small as
yet, but remarkably full of bolls and squares.
The health of our country is generally good.
A man by tlio name of Bandy, stolo a negro and
two horses below Thomasville last Saturday night,
aud wub apprehended by a Mr. Graham and some
of hia neighbors, and conveyed to Albany, where
the Sheriff and another gentleman met them from
Thomas and took them in custody. .
Rain.— On Sunday afternoon, a light shower of
rain fell at this place, and in tho vicinity—the
heaviest that has fallen here since the 17th of April,
nud yet it wet tho parched earth Bcarce an inch
deep. The District has suffered an unprecedent
ed drought of nearly twolve weeks’ duration, un
relived by even one good rain. During the last
week, the temperature of the atmosphere has been
intensely hot, wilting and withering every form of
vegetation—tho thermometer the while ranging
from 00 to 97 degrees in tho shade. The corn
crop in many sections has boon irreparably injured;
it is too far spent to bo much benefited. Cotton
looks tolerably well, considering all things; though
it is pushing its fruit on too rapidly. This is re
garded by many farmers as a bad symptom.
Wo havo heard several farmers express a deter
mination to abandon partially the cultivation of
cum, so uncertain has this crop become of late
years. There can be no doubt, that the country
depends too much upon this cereal. Wheat, rye
and barley—all excellent grains for horses, and
other kinds of stock, and all ot them more certain
titan corn—should bo more extensively cultivated.
Barley is a very shure product. The only objec
tion to it, is that it requires to be prepared before
it is fit for use.— Kewberry ( S. C.) Sentinel.
Rain. —Within tho last wook fine and copious
showers have fallen in this neighborhood, and rain
has been generally had, we believe, in this section
of the State. It has been less abundant immediate
ly at Marietta than in almost any other part of the
county. The crops in this county, though injurod
by tbe drought, will not be near so short as waa
anticipated.— Marietta Advocate, 7th inst.
Rain.—On Tuesday afternoon, we had a very
heavy rain—tbe first we have had for a long time.
The late rain will probably boos some benefit to
lato corn; but the first planting is too faradvanoed
to reccivo any material Benefit from it.— La Grange
Reporter, 7th inst.
Rain.— At last, after a drought that threatened
annihilation to the entire crops of the country, wo
are favored with considerable rains. The rains
commenced on Saturday last, and havo continued
from day to day, in more or less abundance, up to
the time of our going to press. We still hear of
some localities, however, that havo received no
rain, but it is hoped they will not long be without
it. On the whole, we think our farmers may con
gratulate themselves on the prospect for a half
crop, where but lately serious apprehensions were
entertained of a total failure.— Griffin Union, 7th
inst.
Lynchbcro and Tennessee Bailboad. —The
Abingdon Virginian alludes to a visit made by
John K. McDaniel, Esq., president of this road to
the Southwest, on the business of his office. The
Virginian says that Mr. McDaniel assured the edi
tor that the road would be completed to the Ten
nessee line by January, 1865 ; he stated that the
iron is all purchased and that several cargoes had
arrived. The iron will be laid at the rate of eight
miles per month and this rate of progress will
complete the work in less than eighteen months.
Mr. J. B. Monnotof the New York Hotel, who
now owns the entire square occupied by the hip
podrome in that city, it is stated, is contracting lor
white marble sufficient to build a front elevation
seven stories high, and 800 feet in length.
We learn from the Savannah Republican, that
the subscribers to a new hotel, in that city, met on
Saturday evening, and organized the oompany by
choosing J.P. Screven, Wm. M. lVadley, John
W. Anderson, Solomon Cohen, and A. K. Lawton,
Directors. The subscriptions now amount to

be made up to $150,000. The Directors were au
thorised to buy lots and proceed at once to make
contracts for the completion ofthe building.
In the last number of 'Wilmer & Smith’s Eu
ropean Times, it is stated that the prevailing con
viction, is, that but for the state of politics in the
east of Europe, they should now have a higher
range of prices in cotton, yarns, and goods ; and
that, ifapeaeeful settlement should be Bpeedily
effected, a rise must ensue. The paper adds:
It is now certain that the operatives in this dis
trict will suoceed both in obtaining some advance
ot wages and effecting a general restriction of the
hours of labor at 6 o'clock in the evening, and this
must tend to higher prices for the produce of our
mills, though, as to the raw material, its operation
will be in the contrary direction. At the termina
tion of the week's notice, all the mills at Stock
port, that were in the Employer’s Association,
ceased operation, and are now closed. Eight or
ten employers, mostly small ones, who were not
in the Union, have paid the required advanoe of
ten per cent. In this town some large spinners
have effected a compromise. At Preston the me
ters are under notice. In feet the movement is
in active progress ill all directions.

PolK County Whig and Union Meeting.
July 4, 1858.
The Whig party met at the Court House in Cedar
Town according to adjournment—A. N. Verdery,
Esq., in tho Chair, and W. W. Webster as Secre
tary.
Abner Darden, after making a sow remarks, re
lative to tho difficulties likely to arise between the
two wings of the Conservative party in this Coun
ty, at the same time urging the propriety and ne
cessity of united action in the support of Charles
J. Jenkins for Governor, &c., submitted the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, It is necessary that the Conservative
men of this county should act together in harmo
ny, and same difficulty being likely to arise on
points involving no principles, in order to prevent
this, and that all may act In concert, therefore,
Be it Besolved, That we approve and adopt the
resolutions proposed by the Convention recently
assembled in Milledgevillc, nominating Charles J.
Jenkins as a candidate for Governor, and that we
furthermore pledge ourselves to support the nomi
nee.
Besolved, That inasmuch as thero is another
meeting called this day, which is believed to agree
with us in principle, that a committee of three bo
appointed by tho Chairman of this meeting to con
fer with such committoe us may bo appointed by
the other meeting, and report whether both meet
ings can be consistently merged into one—this
course being desirable to this body.
Be it further Besolved, That under existing cir
cumstances we consider it impolitic to make -.ny
nomination upon tho present occasion, and that
we recommend to these meetings (should they
unite) to request tho conservative voters of the
Militia Districts in tho County, to send up four
delegates each, to meet in convention at Cedar
Town, on some future day, to nominate candidates
for the Legislature.
After some discussion between Dr. Joel L. Flan
egan, W. P. Wilkins, Geo. W. West, B. J. Wil

name, the preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adoDtcd.
Tho Chairman then proceeded in accordance
with the second resolution, to appoint a committee
of throe, consisting of A. Darden, W m. Wood, and
Joel L. Tlanegan.
Whereupon the oommittec retired, and after a
short time returned and reported that they had
met a similar committee appointed by the other
meeting, effected a compromise, and recommend
this meeting to adjourn sine die.
A call was then made inviting the conservative
men of all parties to meet and to take such other
steps in the premises as might be deemed advisa
ble.
After tho meeting had convened, on motion of
Wm. F. Janes, Esq., A. N. Verdery was called to

Anti-Retail Meeting in Hancock.
At a meeting of the citizens of Hancock county,
held at the Court-house on the 4th day of July, of
those opposed to the retail system, John Graybill,
Esq. was caked to the Chair, and Dr. E. M. Pendle
ton appointed Secretary.
B. T. Harris, Esq., arose and explained the ob
ject of the meeting, and offered the following pre
amble and resolutions:
Whereas an effort is now being made throughout
our beloved State, to improve the condition of the
people, and to advance the moral, social and po
litical interests of the country, to lessen the taxes
which are now and ever have been imposed on the
sober and industrious for the support of pauper
ism and defence of crime, and to render more se
cure the lives and property of our citizei s by a
wise, just and legal change of what is usually
called the “Retail System,” giving to’the people
of the counties the right to decide by their votes
whether they will tolerate this traffic or not, the
source of a very large proportion of the crimes
which have been committed against the persons
and properly of our citizens, as has been demon
strated again and again by investigations into the
causes of crime, and of numberless other ev'ls,
which, were it necessary, might be enumerated
here; and whereas it is the right as well as the
duty of the good people to express their opinion
upon this as well is every other question or pub
lic interest, we do hereby
Bssolce, That we regard with approbation, and
we do most heartily concur in the aforesaid effort
to secure the passage of a law by the next Legis
lature, which shall embrace all necessary regula
tions, as jn the wisdom of that body may appear
constitutional and proper for authorizing the legal
voters of each county to decide by vote whether
the retail tr ffic shall be allowed or prohibited in
their respective counties.
Besolved. That in view of the importance of this
measure, the great benefits which it is expected
arp to accrue to the country in coming time, that
we pledge ourselves to sustain, advance and pro
mobs, by ail honorable, just and constitutional
means, the aforesaid movement.
Besolved, further, That uninfluenced alike by
unity considerations, or by religious bias, we go
fertb as citizens of • common country, determined
to do “our duty, our whole duty, and noth
ing but oor drnyand that we regard with feel
ings of pity any and every attempt, come from
what quarter it may, to east suspicion upon
the parity of oar motives, or to question our right
as freemen to act in accordance with our judgments
and the dictates of our feeling*, when not viola
tive of the Constitution of our country, or of the
rights of others.
After the presentation of the preamble and re
solutions, Mr. B. T. Harris made some able and
I ngthy remarks in support of them, and was fal
lowed by Mr. Linton Stephens, who opposed them
in an eloquent speech, on the ground of their un
constitutionality. Rev. C. P. Beman and CoLT.
M. Turner each made a strong argument in sup
port of the resolutions. Mr. Stephens rejoined,
and Mr. Harris closed the argument in an effective
and eloquent speech.
Col. Turner then moved that the resolutions be
adopted unanimously, which was done. Signatures
were then called tor to the petition of the Atlanta
Convention, and numbers came forward and add
ed their names to the list; after which the meet
ing adjourned, having resulted very favorably to
the cause ot Temperance, imparting new life to the
efforts of its friends. John Gratbill, Ch'n.

News of the Slave Trade. —The New York
Times says that Capt Vinas, the Spanish Captain of
the slaver Lady Suffolk, is now in New York, the
guest of a Spanish merchant, who has fitted out
many vessels for various Cubau ports, at which,
however, their arrival has not generally been very
promptly announced. The Times adds:
The Captain makes no secret ot his connection
with the slaver Lady Suffolk, but is quite comma
nicatire as to the incidents, results and embarrass
ments of his voyage. He slates that tho precise
number of negroes which he shipped on the coast
of Africa was 1,187, and that he landed 1,059, hav
mg thus lost 130 on the passage. Ho attributes
tins large mortality to the tact that he experienced
protracted and frequent calms on the way, and i
thus necessarily maae a lang passage. He states
that he was alongside the coast of Cuba for seve
ral days, awaiting favorable opportunities to land
his cargo, and that he was robbed of nearly 100
while they were on their way from the coast to '
the several plantations aijiong which they were .
distributed. It will be rememembered that M.
Zulueta received the largest portion of the slaves,
nearly six hundred being sent to his plantation,
whilo four hundred were assigned to M. Abren,
who lives-at Havana, but who has not yet been ar
rested by the Captain-General. Captain Vinas 1
thinks that Gen. Canedo ia in earnest in his determi- 1
nation to punish Mr. Zulueta severely, and to put a
stop to this hitherto flourishing branch of Cuban |
commerce.
The Crvstal Palace. —The official programme
of the Inauguration of the Crystal Palace appears
in the New York papers. The ceremonies are pos
sitively to take place on the 14th inst. and will con
sist of prayer by the Right Rev. Bishop Wain
wriglit, an anthem composed for tho occasion, and
sung by the New York Sacred Harmonic Society,
addresses by the President of the Association and
by distinguished guests, closing with the hallelu
jah chorus. The exhibition is to be open after the
14tk to the public daily, (Sundays excepted,) be
tween the hours of 10 A. M. and 7P. M. The price
of single admissions is placed at fifty cents.
Postal. —Additional articles to the Convention
agreed upon between the Post Office ofthe United
States of America, and the Post Office of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for
carrying into execution the convention of Decem
ber 15, 1848, have just boenpublished by the Post
Offico Department. Their effect is thus concisely
stated:
We have heretofore been paying 84 cents single
rate postage to St. Thomas and other places in the
Danish West Indin Islands where tho distance
does not exceed two thousand five hundred miles,
and 44 cents when over that distance. Tho De
partment has recently ascertained that the British
postage from Kingston to these places has been re
duced from a shilling Stirling to four pence Stirling.
Tho charges above stated having been based upon
the shilling British rate, our Post Office Depart
ment, under the treaty, claimed for our correspon
dence tho advantages of the reduced rate, which
was at once acceded to by the British office. Thus
the singlo rato postage on letters (not newspapers.)
to St. Thomas and other points in the Danish
\V T ost India Islands, by United States packet to
Kingston, is reduced to 18 conts when the distance
from the mailing office is under, and 28 cents when
over 2,500 miles, the reduction being eight pence
Stirling, or sixteen cents—rather an important
item. ,
The Caloric Engine —Capt. Ericsson has finish
ed a beautiful little model of his “ caloric engine”
for exhibition at tho Caystal Palace. A calorie en
gine of sixty horse power, fitted np to drive the
machinery of Messrs. Hogg <fc Delamator’s Foun
dry, New York, will bo thrown open to public in
spection during the continuance of tho Industrial
Exhibition. In relation to the present condition
ofthe calorie ship the New York Times says:
Rapid progress is made in constructing tho new
cylinders for tho ship Ericsson, and we learn that
she will be brought round from Williamsburgh,to
tho foot of West Thirteenth street early, next
week, to receive her new machinery. The state
ment made in the papers, some timo since, that
her engines had been entirely taken out, was quite
incorrect. Nothing whatever was removed bat
the cylinders. Tho ship will also be thrown open
to the public during the early part of the Crystal
Palace Exhibition. The Havre papers state that
the Calorie Engine sent out by the Humboldt,some
weeks since, had been set to work, and that the
French Government had sent down a Commission
to examinine and report upon it. Capt. Ericsson,
we understand, sends out by the steamer Baltic,
on Saturday next, a working model of the Calorie
Engine, for use in tho lecture room of the Society
of Civil Engineers in London.
A gentleman from New Orleans, says the Win
chester Virginian, by the name of £. W. Diggs,
died at Capon Springs, of consumption, on Thurs
day night or Friday morning last. He was found
dead in his bed. He had with him a very large
sum—3o or $40,000, principally in drafts; certifi
cates of deposite, &o.; all of which was duly taken
care of. The body was interred at Winchester, by
the Odd Fellows, to which fraternity the deceased
belonged, with all the honors.
The house in which the Declaration of Inde
pendence was written, at the corner of Seventh
and High (or Market) streets, Philadelphia, is now
occupied as a clothing-store and printing-office.
Tho monument to tho captors of Major Andre,
to be erected at Tarrytown, is to consist of three
blocks of marble, with a shaft forty feet in height,
on whioh a snitable inscription will be engraved.
From China.
Hong Kong, April 21, 1858.
Our advices from Shanghai are to the 12th inst.
Nankin had been taken by the rebels, but it had
ssince been invested by tho troops from Pekin,
who arrived too lato to save it; a battle was to take
place on the 12th, by agreement with the con
tendng forces.
£ Should the rebel* succeed, Shanghai would fall
into their hands.
There appears to be a bad foeling existing to
ward foreigners on the part of the rebels 1 the
fruitless attempt of the U. S. steamer Susquehan
na to get np the Yang tzi-Keang, and the not much
more successful excursion of the Science toward
Nankin, were not intended or expected to induce
the belief that the foreigners wore neutral.
Freights to England had advanced to £B. 10s,

Canton, April 19, 1858.
The depressed stato of markets noticed in onr
last still continues, nor can we hope for any relief
until a more settled state of affairs obtains in the
North. Our latest dates from Shanghai are to the
28th nit., at which time there was no improvement
in trade, and tho rebels continued their career un
checked. Added to the above mentioned cause,
is the fact of immense shipments of manufactured
goods being on the way, whioh render holders
anxious to realise.
In Tea, business is quite nominal, from the
smallness ofthe stock.
Freights are still firm, and will continue so nntil
tho arrival of ships now detained in Australia.
P. S.—We aro just in receipt of tdvices from
Shanghai to the Bth current. The rebels had
taken possession of Nankin and Chinkiang foo,
and were menacing Shanghai itself. There was,
however, a considerable naval force (English,
American and French) sufficient to protect the
lives and property of foreign residents. Trade, of
course, was completely at a stand still.— N. Y.
Oommtrcial Adv.
Damaged Corn.—Thousands of bushels of heated
corn have been shipped from Chiehago within a
few weeks. The Buffalo market is overrun with
damaged and heated corn, and it is being sent to
New York as fast as transportation can be had.
There it is used by distillers, who buy it at almost
their own price. The practice of manufaturing
whiskey from damaged corn is getting to be
quite common throughout the country.
Practical Secession. —There was quite a flare
up, as we anticipated, in the District Convention
at Calhoun, on Wednesday last. The friends of
Col. Tumlin dissatisfied with the game of the fire
eaters, entered their protest and withdrew in a
body. Alarmed at the aspect of things, the seces
sionists, for appearance-sake nominated Chastain,
to keep the Union vote from Tumlin and thus se
cure the election of Dr. Lewis. Poor Chastain,
hi? political days are numbered.
Col. Crook, fire-eater, received the nomination
for Judge, over Lumpkin, re-organised Democrat,
and Messrs. Underwood and Milner disordered
Whigs.— Southern Recorder.
Mzlax-choly.—We have received a letter from
Mr. F. F. Sieg, of Americas, informing us that
James N. Lester, aged 17, William A. Lester,
aged 14, Robert M. Lester, aged 6, Christopher H.
Lester, aged 4 years, and Emma E. Lester, aged
15 months, all children of Mr. Alfred J. and Mrs.
Amelia B. Lester of Sumpter county, in this State,
all died in the short space of one week. The re
mains of three of them were in the house at the
same time. The disease was dysentery, which
prevails in that region of the State. The be
reaved parents have our sincere condolence. The
letter came to hand too lato to publish entire.—

Caracas, Venezuela, June 7th, 1858— Messrs.
Editors :—ln my previous letter you were inform
ed of a revolution having broken out on the 24th
of May, in Valencia and the valleys of Aragna. On
learning the fact, the Government immediately de
spatched troops to the disaffected provinces, who,
after a few slight encounters, were completely
successful in putting it down, scattering the rebels
like “ chaff before the gale.” Thus ends the revo
lution, at least for a time. A number (f prisoners
have been captured, among whom are Gen. Santa
no, Mariano, and Col. Matnrell. The excitement
incident to the revolution is fast subsiding, and
bnsinese resuming its wonted activity.— Cor. of the
S. Am. and U. S. Gazette.
Great activity is shown at ail the military poets
of France. Detachments of marines on their way
to Toulon pass almost duly through Paris. Ordere
have been issued to all seamen on leave of absence
whose term of service has not yet expired, to pro
ceed forwith to Brest aud report themselves to the
admiral. Orders to raise seamen have been
received at Honflour.
A corespondent of the Memphis Appeal writes
that the poet Alexander Smith whose productions
have recently made anch a sensation in the liter
ary circles of Scotland, and are so favorably noticed
in the English Reviews, was, in 1846, a “seedy”
and Deglected indiviual in Wisconsin—the butt
for ridicule ofaU the literary people of the ilk—
and that after seeking in vain throngh all our prin
cipal eastern cities, for a just appreciation of the
merits of a volume of bis poem*, then recently pub
lished, he went to Europe, where be bos become
famous.

Great Conflagration at Oswego.
Osweoo, J uly 5,1853. —One of the most destruc
tive fires that evor took place in our oity, broke
out about half-past 10 o’olook this morning. The
flames spread with the most unparalled rapidity,
and continued to rage for many hours, defying till
the efforts of the firemen to chcok them. The heat
was so intense that some of the engines caught
fire, and were thrown into the river to save them.
Between the toll bridge and the piers every mill,
warehouse and store is gone, including the mills
and warehouses of Messrs. Fitzhugh & Littlejohn,
Ames, Doolittle, Abby, Penflold, and othors.—
These mills were mostly constructed of wood,
which accounts for the rapid extension ot the
flames.
Every mill north of Bridge street (viz. Fitzhngh’s,
Doolittle’s, Wyman’s, &c.,) was burnt, also Ames
and Hall’s elevators. Nearly two hundred dwell
ings and stores are also in mins.
The section of the town consumed is bounded
on the west by the river, on the south by Bridge
street, on the east bv Sixth street, and on the north
by the Fort grounds. The only property saved
within these limits is Randall’s elevator, the second
Methodist church, and a half dozen dwellings.
Tho loss is not less than one million and a half,
including goods in store. There were) over 800,-
000 bnßhels of grain consumed. All the insurance
offices will suffer heavily. Among the losers are
the following.
Fitzhugh & Co., $20,000 on mill; insured for
$12,000. There was a large stock, some 15 or
20,000 bushels of grain inside.

hundred feet, was so great that it was feared the
opposise side would catch, but the wind blowing
strong in the opposite direction prevented it.

state. Total loss S4OOO. The fire was thought to
be the work of inoendiaries and much alarm pre
vails. The Oswego and United States Hotels were
both on fire last evening, and the City Hotel was
set on fire during the night, but no damage re
sulted in either oase.

Another Fatal Drawbrige Accident.
Philadelphia, July Bth.—This morning at two
o'clock the freight train which loft Wilmington
for Philadelphia ran into Brandywine Creek, at tho
draw of the bridge, on tho outskirts of the town.
The bridge tender says that he gave the proper
signals, but no attention was paid to thorn.
Tho iocomotivo, teudor, and two large platform
burthen ears were precipitated into tho creek, pre
senting a mas of ruins. The engineer, named
Girwin, and tho fireman, were drowned. The con
ductor and other persons on the train fortunately
escaped. If it had been a passeugor train the acci
dent would have been equal to tho Norwalk catas
trophe.
Wilmington, Jmy B.—The accident was caused
by the bridge tender going to sleep. Ho heard tho
whistle of the train coming out of Wilmington,
and in his fright does not know what he did. He
thinks, however, that lie raised his lantern, which
was the proper signal that ail was right. Thus
the officers ot the train were deceived, and thought
all was right and went ahead.
Charles Garwin, tho engineer, belongs to Elk
ton, and is unmarried. Reuben Titus, the fireman,
was crushed beneath the ehgine, tondor and three
platform cars loaded with cross-ties.
The bridge tender is very worthy and sober man
and has been keeper of tho bridge for six yoars.
He was only on duty every other night. After let
ting the train from Philadelphia aoross at 12 o’clock
feeling tired, he thought ho would lie down. lie
fell asleed, and was so alarmed that ho did not
know what ho did. This is liis own statement.
He was so overcome by his foeiings that ho at
tempted suicide. He has been arrested on tho
charge of murder, and held to bail before the New
Castle County Court.
The verdiot of tho jury exonerates tho Company
entirely from all blamo, ns tho instructions to the
bridge tender wore of tho most oxplicit character.
Washington, July B.—Despatches were received

of which was made by the previous arrival, huvo
again failed, and consequently been broken off.
An extension oftweuty days had been given for
the vessels in port to leave the harbor. The ex
tension was granted in consequence ofthe formal
ity of the blockade up to the period previously al
lowed. Since that time, howovor, the blockade
has been vigorously kept.
The ships Gondola, Cronstadt, Roman and H.
A. Barling had been permitted to discharge and
will take in whatover return cargo they can got
within tho specified time, which expires on the 3d
of June. At the date of tho sailing of the Alfred

for New York. The Cronstadt would commence
loading for Boston, and the Roman for New York,
as soon as the cargoes on board were dischar
ged; part of iheir return cargoes had already
been engaged, consisting chiefly of bales.
Tho shipments of hides for some timo to oomo
will be very small.
Tho government had boen authorized to rnnko
another emission of $10,000,000 to defray the ex
penses of the wa;,
Occasional sorties are made but without much
damage to either party.

FACTS CANNOT BE DOUBTED.
Let the Afflicted Read and Ponder.—More
than 500 persons in the city of Richmond, Va., alone testi
ly to the remarkable cures performed by CARTER’S SPAN
ISH MIXTURE. The great Spring Medicine and Purifier
ofthe Blood is now used by hundreds of grateful patients,
who testify daily to the remarkable cures performed by the
greatest of all medicines, Carter’s Spanish Mixture. Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism, Scrofula, Eruptions on the Skin, Liver
Disease, Fevers, Ulcers, Old Sores, Affections of th Kid
neys, Diseases of the Throat, Female Complaints, Pains and
Aching ofthe Bones and Joints,are speedily put to flight
by U3ing this great and inestimable remedy.
For all Diseases of the Blood, nothing has yet been found
to compare with it. It cleanses the system of all impuri
ties, acts gently and efficiently on the Liver and Kidneys,
strengthens the Digestion,gives tone to the stomach, makes
the Skin clear and healthy, and restores the Constitution,
enfeebled by disease or broken down by the excesses of
youth, to its pristine vigor and strength.

cosmetics ever used. A few doses of Carter’s Spanish
Mixture will remove all sallowness of compaction, bring
the roses mantling to the cheek, give elasticity to the step
and improve the general health in a remarkable degree
beyond all the medicines ever heard of.
A large number of certificates of remarkable cures per

daily falling in most parts of the State. These, of course,
will produce a favorable effect upon the growing crops of
Cotton, even without more, and the signs are indicative of
slavery weather.
GROCERIES.—The operations in the Grocery market
are still confined to the filling of small country orders.
The operations are, therefore, limited. In prices we note
no change, and would refer to our quotations for the cur
rent rates.
PROVISIONS.—The operations in the Bacon market are
limited, and the article is dull at our quotations. Flour
continues abundant and prices the same.
GRAIN.—Corn continues rather scarce, and our quota
tions are fully sustained, though the prospect for a decline
is favorable. No change in Wheat.
EXCHANGE on the North is worth a half per cent, pre
mium.
FREIGHTS—The late rains hare improved the naviga
tion of the river and steamers ply without difficulty.
Freights are the same as previously reported.

LIVERPOOL, June 24.—Our advices of the 17th inst. $
Africa, reported the Cotton market &s closing that day
with a better feeling; and sales of 8000 bales. The more
pacific accounts of continental affairs, which gave rise to
this improvement were dissipated the following day, but in
anticipation of American advices being favorable to hol
ders, the transactions of Saturday also amounted to 8000
bales, speculators taking a fair share. The Europa arrived
the same evening; her accounts, however, did not produce
any change, and Monday’s business closed with estimaied
Bales of 7uUO bales, the market being freely supplied by
holders. Tuesday’s operations were more circumscribed
and 0000 bales were the reported sales. The Atlantic’s ad
vices being without effect on Wednesday’s business, which
was estimated at 7000 bales, and yesterday at 8000 bales,
of which speculators and exporters have taken about one
seventh; the lower qualities continue abundant in the mar
ket, and the prices at which they are offered has induced
some large purchases in them; the better classes are more
firmly held, and although not saleable in quantity, rates
are steadily maintained.
The total sales of the week amount 56,930 bales, of which
8,010 are to speculators and 7440 to exporters, and include
43,810 bales of American, of which 4,950 are to speculators
and 5070 are to exporters, leaving 41,660 bales of all kinds
to the trade.
The import for the same time is 89,418 bales, of which
30,698 are American.
PRICES TO-DAY.
Fair. Middling. Ordinary.

The business to-day is not characterized by any new fea
ture, the est mated sales being 7000 bales, of which specula
tors and exporters have taken 1600 bales, and the market
abundantly supplied.
Nothing has occurred during the past week calculated to
impart increased confidence to the commercial community,
our produce markets are still biased by the uncertainty of
the turn political matters en the continent may take; the
accounts we are daily receiving thence are of the most
warlike character, and a collision between contending pow
ers seems almost inevitable; great faith is, however, still
entertained oy most people for a pacific solution of differ
ences, and the business of the week has been influenced
more in the hope that peace will be maintained, th \n any
settled conviction on the subject; with such a result trade
would no doubt extend, and with the extension improved
rates for the raw materal follow, which features have not
been witl out effect with operators. Although the Ameri
can accounts by recent arrivals are anything but favorable
for the growing crop, the expressed operations of certain
plausible writers in New York on this subject, and the ar
guments, adduced in support of such, are considered quite
premature, and the motive too well understood to have
that weight attached to them, similar advices at a later
period would, in the absence of other causes to the con
trary, produce.
HAVRE, June 22.—Our Cotton market was dull yester
day, the intelligence received from Liverpool not having
responded to the views of speculators.
To-day the demand has been moderate, the sales having
amounted to 800 bales in all descriptions. Holders are wil
ling sellers at the quotations of last week.
The imports to-day amount to 12,000 bales by the Me
donack, Trumbull, Elvira Owen, from New Orleans, and
H. Godwin, from Mobile.
The weather continues good for the fields in general.
The export trade, namely for the United States, remains
active, and full rates Are paid for New York and New
Orleans.
LIVERPOOL, June 24.—The advices from the United
States to the Uth inst. are still considered favorable for
Cotton holders, the excess in the receipts still falling off,
and the reports of the growing crop representing it as
rather backward and unpromising. A fair amount of busi
ness has been done in Cotton here during the week; the
daily sales have been 8000 bales at steady prices. The
market would probably have been far more buoyant and
active but for the uncertainty respecting the Eastern diffi
culties. The best opinion appears to be that these will be
settled by negotiation without resource to hostilities. A
strike of the operatives at Stockport, which threatens to
extend to other places, is also exercising an injurious in
fluence on the Cotton trade.
The week’s sales amount to 56,080 bales, including 8,010
for speculation and 7,440 for export, we make no change in
the quotations since last week, except in “Fair” qualities,
which arc raised lb.
To-day the market continues steady. Sales 7,000 bales.
We quote:
Fair Orleans 6%d... .Middling.... fid. to 7 l-16d.

Fair Uplands 6#d.... Middling... .515-16 d.
Corn Market.—The weather continues extremely favor
able, and the corn market has been quiet with a drooping
tendency. At this day’s market, however, there was an
improved consumptive demand, with increased business,
and except for white Indian Corn, which is Is. $ qr. lower,
there is no material reduction in prices since this da>
week.

HAVANA, July 7.—During the last ten days the busi
ness that has been done in our Su*ar market amounts to
little, comparatively speaking. In the first place, ship
ping is rcarce ; secondly, the news from abroad is not
favorable; and, lastly, holders are firm, it being impossi
ble for purchasers to obtain Sugar to any amount at the
lowest prices quoted, as the rates obtained for a few stray
lots, under peculiar circumstances, are no guide for the
dealer who can afford to wait until the proper moment.
The stock in this market is about 240,000 boxes, an
amount which in our most busy times might be exported in
three weeks. Should nothing create an active demand
from my observation and experience I should say that the
produce remaining on hand will be dribbled off in small
lot-, ai full rates, with a probability of a rise. There is no
anxiety to sell, as most of the speculators are men of heavy
capital ; and those planters who have not sold, are not
obliged to do so until convenient.
Muscovados, I consider as being at their lowest point.
I think the symptoms are for a rise; however, during the
present inactivity, little can be said with certainty to
guide operations.
