will be in Bnrke end Jefferson counties eirly in October,
laden ed with tbe finest bunch of MULEB ever seen in those

times. They ere a premium lot, end none of the soft,
sappy, mushroom stock; but have been fattened exclu

EXTENSIVE BALE OF VALUABLE TOWN LOTS,
IN KNOXVILLE, TENN., AT AUCTION.
ON SATURDAY, the first day of OCTOBER next,
we will offer for sale at auction, FIFTY TOWN LOTS,
In Knoxville, having fronts of flrom 26 to 7b feet, end depths
of 126 end 160 feet.
These lots are In a compact body, and front upon seve
ral of the principal streets of the town, among others that
which connects the portion of the town in which the busi
ness Is at present chiefly transacted with the depot grouods
of the East Tennessee and Georgia, the East Tennessee
and Virginia, and the Rabun Gap Railroads—all of which
Railroads will be completed within the next three or four
years. In the centre of the ground which has thus been
divided into lots, is a Market Plsce, one hundred and twen
ty five feet wide and five hundred feet long, which has
been selected by the Town Council for a Market House—a
neat and commodious structure, to be erected this fall.
Many of the lots will front upon this Market Place.
The very many advantages which these lets offer to per
sons, desiring to purchase property for any purpose what
ever in Knoxville, will be seen upon an Inspection of the
ground—lt is slmost level, so that no grading will be re
quired. It is of sssy access from the Railroad Depots,and
is so located, with reference to other portions of the town
and the highways folding into it, that It Is admirably fitted,
not only for residences, bat for business purposes. It is
exempt—the greeter portion of It—from municipal taxa
tion ; and. In every point of view, almost presents greater
Inducements to purchesers than any other grounds in or
about Knoxville.
It Is the purpose of the proprietors, in offering these
lots for sale at auction, while they hope to obtain for them
selves remunerating prices, to give all who desire to re
move to Knoxville, an opportunity to become owners of
lots st reasonable prices.
Diagrams of the ground will be furnished these who wish
to purchase.
Terms of the sale—One-third cash, end the remainder
payable in twelve and eighteen months, with Interest.

Those wishing to avail themselves of this opportunity

and send it to the Factory, or to Messrs. Seymour, Ansley
A Co., in Augusta, with instructions as to the quality of
Cloth they wish made—whether heavy or light. If the

for washing it. Burrs nre not objectionable, as a machine
is provided for removing them.
Wool is also carded into rolls, for those who make their
Negro or other clothing at home.
The terms now offered are so reasonable as to warrant
a continuance of the liberal patronage heretofore ex tend
ed by the planting community.
The wool should be sent as soon after shearing as
convenient, with <Ae mime of the owner distinctly mark
ed on the bag or bale, that all the patroni of the establish
ment may he accommodated in due time.

Dost thou deem my love so light a boon
That thou may’at throw it idly by.
As winds may waft a Sower at noon.
And leave It low at night to die?
By all my spirit's pain and strife—
By all the hopes that now reward thee—
Thy proudest boast in after-life
Shall be that I—that I have loved thee.
Not mine the boon to droop in grief—
Not mine the tool to pine alone—
The pang though passionate is brief;
The doubt Is o’er, the dream has flown.
The love of one so light of heart,
Were scercely worth one fond regret;
AU Is not lost, although we part,
The pearl in lire’s cap sparkles yet.
gome chords there are in Love’s sweet lyre,
Thy false band knew not how to play;
Borne gleams remain of Feeling's fire —
Thou could’st not aU my heart betray.
I'U win a name from wayward Fame,
That thou sbalt hear with fond regret;
The heart thy falsehood left to shame,
Shall find aome glorious solace yet.
Yes! by this moment’s pain and strife—
By ail the hopes I have restored thee —
Thy dearest boast in after-life,
Shall be that I—that I have lovod thee.
Fan'll Osgood.

THE DECEIVER.
Once—lt seems but yester’ eve—
I heard thee praise her beautious hair,
And can’st thou ask why I should grieve
To see the wreck of one so fair ?
Her voice was like a bird in Spring,
'T would break my heart to hear it now,
She moves along so pale a thing,
How came she thus ? thou asketh bow.
Go, heartless villi an, if the world
Were not to meanly bUnd and base,
From yon gay group thou would’stbe hurled,
And brands of shame would scar thy bee.
Justice may sleep and men may praise,
The song of mirth enchant thine ear;
Bat God, who numbers all onr days,
WiU not forget the mourner’s tear,

How to Spoil ■ High-spirited Wife.
“ What did you apeak in that way to your wife
for, young man !” asked old ancle Rogers of his
nephew.
“Because it’s fun to see her spark up,” replied
the hopeful Benedict; “ I like to make her black
eyes shine, and her round cheeks grow red os
any damask rose. And it’s quite tragic the way
sho put* her little foot down and says ‘ s-i-r.”
By the muses I If you’d staid long enough un
cle, I'd have Bhown you a Queen. You’ve no
idea how grandly Bhe tosses back her fierce little
head—or with what a Dido like air she wrings
those delicate hands of hers. It quite breaks the
monotony of life to get up Buch a tempest to or
der. You Bee, uncle, one tires of clear sunshine
and blue sky—and so, as I know she owns this
spunkey temper, I just touch it up with the spur
matrimonial, and let it gallop till I see fit to reign
in.”
“ I’ve as good a mind to root out that sapling,
Hal., and use it over your shoulders, as I had this
morning to eat my breakfast before yon spoiled
my appetite.
Yoa are taking the surest way to ruin a mer
ry strong organization. Saving your presence,
I despise the man who thus tampers with a pas
sionate but living spirit. Look st your wife—how
delicate her beauty 1 Look at your household—the
very temple of taste and neatness. The little
fixings on the mantle, the fringing and tasseling
here and there give it a touch beyond the com
mon to your humble furniture. That lounge
that lenda bo grand an air to your parlor, I had
set down for no less than a fifty—when lo! it
turns out that five dollars and a woman’s ingenu
ity deceived an old, experienced upholster like my
self.
Then look at the vines she has trained, the
flowers she has planted, that loan toward her
when Bhe approaches them, as if she wus their
guardian angel! Why Hal., is it possible the
possession of such a being as this, tempts yon
to an absurdity that will surely end in destruction
of yonr domeatic happiness!”
“ You are mighty serious about this little thing,
uncle.”
“Serious 1 unfortunately lam something moro
—a victim to my own indulgence in a similar
infatuation. You have heard”—here uncle Ro-
SBrs gave a great sigh—“ that lam not happy at
ome. My own fault! Every bit of it!” and the
old man gave mother earth a savage blow with bis
cane.
“If a man marries an angel and torments her
into a fiend, who’s to blame but himself.” My
wife was very handsome, and as you say spunkey.
There never needed to have been a warm
word between us, but I liked to seo her angry.
I liked to see the delicate nostrils expand—the
large bright eyes scintillate sparks of fire,—but
1 did it just once too often. I know the very time
that anger raised the final barrier of opposition,
and that nice sense of right beeamo an exacting
and imperious tormentor.
“And now your uncle is driven from the
homo of his nephew, where he hoped for peace,
and tortured with the fresh opening of old
wounds.
“ I tell you, Hal, you spoil your wife, you will
ruin her; it’s not manly; it’s a burning shame”—
and the old man’s thin lips quivered with excite
ment.
Hal. said nothing thou, but when he returned
he ground hie pride between hia teeth and begged
hie wife’s pardon.
“I’ll never taunt you for fun again, Carry,” he
aaid in a low tone. And she replied as she hid her
tearful face in his bosom —
“lam so quick, so passionate—but indeed I
never begin it; and you have been so noble that
I will try and conquer this hasty temper. But
Hal,” Bhe added roguishly, shaking her cnrls in
hisface, “ what will you do for your qneenf what
will become of Dido tragedy, etc.—liaf”
Her husband blushed (I contend that a man
looks handsome when he blushes) and a kiss seal
ed the reconciliation. To-day, after forty years
of wedded life, Hal. boasts that he remembers but
onoe making up after a storm —and that was away
back in the noney moon. Ever since he has had
still waters and a steady voyage i and uncle Ro
gers who died years ago—peace be with his ashes
—used to eall Hal’s home a paradise on earth.
DBEADrcLScFyEBiNO.—The citizens of Stanford,
Dutchess county, (N. Y.) are to have a donation
party on the Ist oiSeptember for the benefit of a
worthy citizen, Mr. Mosher, who for the last
twenty-nine years has been entirely confined to
his bed by that painful disease, inflammatory
rbenmatism. Tho following account of his suffer
ings is given:
“During the first year after his attack his knees
were dislocated and ossified, and subsequently,
one after the other, every Joint of the lower ox
tremeties was drawn assnnder and ossified. After
this his pains became less aente, and being natu
rally industrious and ingenious, he commenced
making shoes, whipß, ana such other articles as
he could while lying in bed. He thus helped to
maintain himself, and for eleven years in this way
continued to work, when his disastrous afflic
tion becamo more severe, and his arms were dis
located joint after joint until every articulation of
his body (save the extreme of the ring finger on
the left hand, and a very stiff motion of the right
shonlder) became fixod and immovable as a statue.
He yet remains in the same helpless situation,
suffering quite often fits of severe sickness and
>ain, and for the last fifteen years the only act he
taa been able to perform towards supporting ex
istence is to swallow what food is forced into his
month through the contracted aperture made by
the removal of his three front upper teeth.
“What ia again remarkable, during all this long
continued suffering his every want and every as
sistance which his necessity calls for has been mast
asiduously rendered him through the persevering
faithfulness and untiring affection of a sister, who,
like himself, is iu indigent circumstances.
The Motuibof Victoria.—The Dnchess of Kent
is at Progmore, which is an extensive cottage ornee
in Windsor Park, once inhabited by Queen Char
lotte, ofsnufly memory who has been immortaliz
ed by Byron, as
“An ugly, bad old woman.”
The Duchess, as mother to our Queen, is provid
ed for by the public. She has an annual allowance
of £82,000, besides sundry residences rent free.—
The curious part of the matter is that, while her
daughter was heiress-presumptive to the crown,
(which was a position involving some expense,)
the Dutchess had £20,000 a year; but when Vic
toria became Queen, lessening her mamma’s out
lay, the obsequious Melbourne ministry got Parlia
ment to raise it to £B2,l)oo—thus showing that the
less she had to spend, the more she must receive !
It was whispered, at the time, that Lord Mel
bourne wished to become third husband to the
duchess, who was then aged 51. Nothing came of
it, and the lady, now in her 68th year, is not likely
to change her condition. She has been a fine wo
man, with dark eyes and hair, but is now very
stout and flabby—known, wherever she drives, by
immense quantity of rouge with which she bedaubs
her cheeks. — London Car. X. T. Sunday Time*.
Important Intitoon. —The London papers
announce the following invention, which, if the
promisee here given should be verified, is likely
to prove of extensive utility.
Outta Ptreha Yarnitk— John W. Bennett has
discovered a very effectual means of preserving
writings, charts, bank bills and pictures, as well
from injury by time as from lorgery or alteration.
The process is a most simple one, consists merely
of running a very delicate coating of guttapercha
solution over the surface of the article. It is per
fectly transparent, and is said to improve the ap
peranee of pictures. By coating both sides of an
important document, it can be kept in the best
preservation. It renders it waterproof, and the
plan would thus be a valuable one for ship charts.
If used on bank bills, it would be a mo6t efficient
means of preventing fraud, inasmuch as no alter
ation could be made c n the face of the hill with
out removing the coating, which would be im
possible to do withant destroying the whole.
Bicxnt Tbit or the Pacific.—' The N. Y. Herald
saye-Capt. Nye, of the Pacific, was on ChADge yes
terday and received the congratulations of his
friends, cn account of his speedy passage with_one
wheel of his fine ship. He stated thaffor the first
three days he had a splendid run, having made
ftiUy 1,000 milea, up to the breaking of bis shaft,
on the 4th day, (three days and twenty hours after
to departure) he made ISO miles against a head
wind. Afterwards the weather became favorable
during the voyage. He thought that had the ac
cident not oocnrred, he would certainly have reach
ed N. York on Friday evening, or early on Satur
day morning. Captain N. thought the shaft was
injured dururg the bard voyage experienced last
winter and that the iron at the point strained, had
gradually given way until not much over one
Sighth or one fourth of sound iron remained at the
point of fracture.

MISCELLANY.
From the Savannah Daily Georgian.
Southern Female College Comineneement.
M£*■!:<. Ennons Unavoidable circumatanoee
have prevented me from sooner giving you t
short notice of the commencement of the Southern
Female College, at Lagrange, which took place on
the 20th of July last.
High as our expectations had been raised from
the wide-spread reputation of this deservedly
popular seminary, they were more than realised.
It nas been long indeed since the citizens of La
grange, and the patrons of the institution, have
been so much gratified as on this occasion. The
admirable essays of the graduates, the interesting
character of the exercises, the large and attentive
audience, together with the surpassingly beautiful
and appropriate address of the Hon. Robert M.
Charlton, conspired to render the day more than
ordinarily interesting.
The young ladies ot the graduating class, from
what wecould see for ourselves, as well as from
the unauimoos report of those who were best
qualified to judge, exhibited unusual talent and
promise. It is rare to see a class of that number
presenting intellectual capacity so uncommon,
culture and attainments so high, and mental train
ing so thorough. It must be highly gratifying to
their instructors that some of this class have re
ceived their whole course of education at this in
stitution, having risen from the primary depart
mentto be members ot a class of which their pa
rents and friends, their Alma Mater—their very
State—may be be proud. The essays struck us as
being of unusual interest and merit, slightly
touching upon and evincing acquaintance with the
more masculine topics engrossing public attention
at the present day,"yet displaying throughout, as
well in the choice of subjects an in the manner in
which they were handled, a refinement, elegance,
and delicacy purely feminine. This impression
most have been general, for we have never seen
essay s listened to with such Haltering and noise
less attention or such deep interest. This we at
tribute not only to the intrinsic merit of the com
positions themselves, but to theadmirable manner
in which they were read. The fair graduates, one
and all, without raising their voices to an unplea
sant or unlady like key, wore distinctly heard
throughout the largo and well-filled hall, plainly
showing that to the charms of a well stored mind
and the valuable and indispensable accomplish
ment of writing well, they had added the no less
valuable and far more into feminine accomplish
ment of reading well.
Then followed a short, but touching and appro
priate address by Mr. Bacon, the President, to the
graduating class, in which, with no word of ful
some flattery or unmerited compliment, he ren
dered a just tribute to their character and merit as
pupils, and their gentle and lady-like deportment,
congratulating them on the happy and creditable
termination of their course of study, and with many
wishes for their future happiness and welfare,
bidding them an affectionate farewell.
Then came J udge Charlton’s address. So many
thousands and tens of thousands of Commence
ment addresses have been delivered all over the
land, we thought everything that can be said, had
been said and re-said, and dressed over in new
garbs, till every body knows every word the
peaker is about to utter before be opens his lips.
So we thought—when the Judge aroso to address
us. Very lew words, however, had been uttered,
before we discovered that we had entirely mista
ken the man. Attention was speedily riveted.
All was anew, brilliant andoriginal ; sentence af
tersentonce of glowing imagety poured from his
lips, till he had fairly elevated and transported his
audienco to the fairy land, whose features he bo
vividly described. Not long did he linger among
those sylvian shades, butlod us on, while playful
irony and sparkling humor, touching pathos aud
matchless argument, mingled with such pleasing
alternation and charming variety, that the audi
ence were fairly transported: constantly waver
ing between the desire tor breathless silence, to
lose no look, no word, no intonation of their
Speaker’s voice, and that of applauding senti
ments and appeals which went to tbe heart of every
one who Leard them. The conclusion of the ad
dress showed us that the eloquent speaker was no
less the poet, the painter and tbe patriot than the
orator, and carried us one and all to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. Not a man, woman or
child was present who was not delighted, for the
day’s exercises constantly deepening in interest
had so effectually absorbed the attention of all,
that not one had a moments leisure for fatigue or
weariness, and the only regrot at the close of the
oration was, that it was ended.
We had heard of Judgo Charlton, his ability,
his eloquence, his talent, but truly indeed the half
had not beon told. By his visit to LaGrange he
has made many new and fast fri. nds, and we
hope that Georgia may long be able to retain him
in her service in the Senate of the United States.
Long may he live, an honor and a blessing to his
native State, and long may the Southern Female
College continue to prosper, and may she have the
good fortune of graduating many such classes as
the one whose diplomas wo have just seen award
ed. Georgia may well be proud of her literary in
stitutions, her pupils aud her orators.
An Obsebveb.
From the N. T. Journal of Commerce of the 27th inet.
Burning of the Cherokee.
The steamship Cherokee, owned by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, (Law, Roberts, A?pin
wall, &0.,) was discovered to be on tire about half
past 7 o’clock last evening while lying at her dock
at the foot of Warren street, North River. She
was filled to replet ion with a rich and valuable e .r
--go, including rich invoices of sillts, and was to sail
at 2 o’clock to day for New Orleans, via Havana.
Every available foot of space was occupied by
freight, even encroaching on her passenger cabins.
A large amount was refused for lack of room to re
ceive it.
It is judged that the fire originated from drags
or somo other substance contained in her cargo.
The watchman of the dock, as we learn from him
personally, first pdfceived the fire through the side
lights of the after cabin, his attention having been
previously attracted by an unusual smell. He im
mediately shouted to the watchman of the deck,
who happened to be directly over where the fire
was noticed ; and upon opening the cabin door,
the fire was seen coming up the companion-way.
An effort to advance was repulsed by the over
powering heat and smoke. The fire was already
beyond control. The alarm was given, vocally,
and by the bells of the adjaoent ships and steam
ers, and the fire companies speedily arrived, from
both upper and lower districts. A report having
become current that there was powder on board,
evident reluctance to approach within harm’s way,
was manifested; but one intrepid fellow rushed to
the supposed Bourco of danger and seized upon
the amunition, which consisted, however, of but
ton pound cartridges, used for salutes, and threw
it overboard.
The flames soon enveloped the vessel amidships,
there being an intense heat in the vicinity of the
engines. Streams of water were directed upon
the fire without any perceptible result, and the
destruction of the ship was seen to be inevitable.
Everything moveable on deck that could be reach
ed, was thrown overboard, and the surface of the
water, now lighted up to silvery brightness, was
covered with articles which numerous boats were
engaged in securing. The flames next caughtfthe
mainmast and rigging. The spectacle presented
was grand beyond description.
In every direction the piers, steamers and roofs
of dwellings, presented a mass of human beings,
which tho light of the burning steamer brought to
view with the distinctness of daylight. Dense
columns of smoke rolled off to the south-west, in
termingled with fierce flames, variously colored
by the consuming drugs, spirits, <fcc., of which the
cargo was composed—while the rigging now in
flames resembled a net work of fiery lines stretch
ed across the heavens.
Two steamers took hold of the homing vessel,
with a view to move her into the stream, where
she might be scuttled and sunk ; but it was found
that she was immovably fast on the bottom, it be
ing low tide, and the hawsers parted. A consulta
tion was held by officers of the steam ship compa
ny and the chief of the fire department, when it
was resolved to direct all efforts to fill the steamer
with water, both through the hose playing through
the side-lights and open spaces in the deck, and
through holes cut in the bows of the ship at the
water-line. By this means, it was hoped to at
least save that portion of the cargo, in a damaged
state, whioh might be submerged,—also the en
gines. It was ascertained from the engineer, that
the boilers were filled with water, so that they
were less liable to injury, and that all danger of
explosion was obviated by the adjustment of the
valves, which would “blow off” with twenty
four pounds of steam.
By 10 o’clock, the decks had mostly fallon in;
tho wheel-houses and bulwarks amidships were
partially consumed, though the masts were still
standing; fierce jets ot flame were issuing from
the stern and siae-lights, forward and aft. But
little promised to be left above water-mark, be
sides a blackened and charred hnlk.
The Cherokee was a fine steamer of 1244 tons,
built by Wm H. Webb, for the Government line
of steamers, but was afterwards purchased by the
P. M.S. S.Co. About one year ago she was re
built, and put incomplete order, with new boilers,
<tc. She was valued at pretty near $250,000, and
as it is customary with this company to insure
their own vessels, the insurance offices had no
risks on her. She was 210 feet in length, had 34
feet breadth of beam, and 17 depth of hold, and
was under the command of Captain Baxter, who
succeeded Captain Porter to the Crescent City,
upon the settlement of the difficulties at Havana
with the Cuban Government.
The stearner had no specie on board, but one in
dividual had sent baggage aboard. That was a
lady who arrived from Boston yesterday morning,
and unfortunately lost all. Several of the officers
and crew fared little better.
The cargo exceeded three hundred tons, and is
supposed to have been as valuable as any that was
ever shipped from New York for a southern port,
by these steamers. It is impossible to judge with
accuracy, but its worth is supposed to have been
something like half a million o* dollars. As ship
pers are accustomed to deter getting insured till
the day of the sailing of the steamer, a considerable
proportion of the cargo is presumed to have been
uninsured. That part of it occupying the freight
deck is probably saved with damage from water.
During the fire, several slight explosions occurred,
and with occasional bursts of flame, made the scene
one of great excitement. The extensive freight
sheds occupying the dock, were several times on
fire and narrowly escaped.
As soon as maybe found expedient, the hulk
will be jiumped out, or raised with a derrick, and
be rebuilt. One of the city ships builders offers
to put her in sailing order for SIOO,OOO. The tim
bers are supposed to be sorind, below the lower
deck. The machinery and boilers are inatolerablv
good state of preservation. 3
A large quantity of freight stowed on the lower
decks will be recovered, damaged by water. Some
shippers have lost as high as $12,000 or more. The
vessel cost the company 250,000, with the improve
ments, but they have more steamers than are need
ed, and'she might have been bought for a sum
considerably less than is here named.
This morning, the Cherokee is a charred and
unsightly hulk, scuttled, and sunk up to her guards.
Fire continued to smoulder among the fragments
of timber and rubbish that remained in sight, upon
which firemen were still directing their streams of
water. A number of laborers were engaged in all
parts of the wreck, throwing overboard the loose
timbers and bits of wood to be carried away with
the tide, and semiring the loose iron fastenings,
small portions of machinery, rope, Ac.
Heavy Trade in Peaches. —One of the princi
pal peach dealers estimates the daily arrival of
peaches in this market at 60,000 baskets, or even
more 1 The peach trade has been maintained to
this extent for the last five days, but must soon
decline. Nine steamers a day come in, loaded
down with from 6,000 to 10,000 baskets. A few
dealers charter boats exclusively for their bnsinese.
Two run to Amboy, five to Washington, N. J.,
and two to Brunswick. They arrive between 12
and 2 o'clock in tbe morning, and at the dead of
night, when the city is wrapt in clamber, the
wharves of the peach steamers present scenes ot
the greatest activity, confusion and excitement.
Probably twice as many peaches will be brought
to market this season as were last, though not as
much as during tne famous season tune years
ago, when the fruit was generally not worth more
San the baskets it filled. Prioes take a wide range.
From two to Bix shillings is a common price,
though baskets of very choice fruit were sold yes
terday for five dollars.—Jew, oj Qm l.
■OW-A-DAYP;
Alee! bow every thing has changed
Since I was sweet sixteen.
When eU the g ris wore homespun frocks,
And aprons nice and clean:
With bonnets made of braided straw,
Thai tAgd bcDttth the chin.
And shawls laid neatly on the neck.
And fastened irith e pin.
I recollect the time when I
Rode father’s horse to mill.
Across the meadows, rock and field.
And up and down the hiU,
And when onr folks were out at work.
As sure as I am a sinner,
I Jumped upon a horse, bare-back,
And carried them their dinner.
Dear me'. young ladies, now-a-days
Would almost bint away,
To think of riding, all-alone,
In wagon, chaise, or sleigh;
And as for giving *• Pa” hi* meals,
Or helping “ Ma” to bake.
Oh! saints, 'twould spoil their lilly hands,
Though sometimes they make cake.
When winter came, the maiden’s heart
Began to beat and flutter,
Each beau would take his sweetheart out
Sleigh-riding in a cutter.
Or if the storm was bleak and cold,
The girls and beaux together
Would meet and have moat glorious fan,
And never mind the weather.
But now, indeed, itgrives me much
The circumstance to mention.
However kind the young man's heart,
And honest his intention,
He never asks tbe girls to ride.
But such a war is waged.
And ifheseesher once a week,
Why surely “ they’re engaged!”

The eases in which the doctor’s certificate did
not give the cause of death, were as reported by
the Board of Health for the last flvo weeks in the
preceding table, to the number of 279. Os these
at least six-sevenths were yellow fever cases,
giving 289 for that class of disease out of the 279.
These, added to 6170 at the foot of the general
table above, show that in the four districts of this
city, from May 28 to August 27—or within a day
of three months—6449 human beings have died of
yellow fever.
It would be an interesting statistical fact for the
Board of Health to inquire into how many chil
dren aud grown persons, born here, have died of
the fever? how many have had the fever twice ?
how many colored persons have diod of it ? We
know a number of children born here, under the
age of 10 years, who have died of the fever ; we
know positively one case, and have heard of a
good many, where the person attacked had al
ready had the fever here ; we know of negroes
who nave had the fever and died of it; and we
know, too, of a number of persons who have lived
hero through several epidemics, some of whom
have been attacked this year and others have es
caped it altogether.

The decrease in the returns of the hospital for
the week jnst ended over the previons weeks, is
marked. This is partly owing to the influx of pa
tients of the indigent class to the several infirma
ries established by the Board of Health and the
Howard Association. Still a marked decrease in
new eases, in charity and in private practice, is
generally reported by the physiolans, and we have
some hope of seeing as marked a decline in the
course or tho coming week in the cemetery re
ports.
The contributions, liberal, large and prompt of
the people of the principal cities of the United
States, continue to reach our city, most of the sum
being destined for the Howard Association. The
Mayor has received a handsome amount to be dis
tributed where he thought it most needed. This
generous sympathy with our stricken city will nev
er be forgotten by the people of New Orleans. If
money could stop the pestilence the purses of our
warm frieDds all over the country would have ere
this found a specific remedy; as it is, they have
alleviated much suffering, soothed many paDgs,
saved many lives. May Heaven’s blessing and
the heartfelt gratitude of a great city reward the
kind and noble donors!
It is to be regretted that the Board of Health
did not, from the first organization of the infirma
ries established by it, order the reports of those
places to be handed in and published daily. In
conjunction with the Charity Hospital report, these
returns would give an approximately accurate idea
of the number ot the indigent poor suffering from
the epidemic, and would be the best barometer of
the duly state of the disease. It is not too late yet
to adopt this measure.
The following is the report for the several in
firmaries from the date of their establishment up
to yesterday:
Infirmary No. 1, Hevia street, First District, established
August 1—
Admissions 814 I Deaths 121

The report for the twenty four hours preceding
onr visit yesterday, was: Admissions 5, deaths 8

In connection with this infirmary is an asylum
for the reception of the children who have become
orphans daring tbe ravages of the epidemic. In
this asylum we found twenty-five inmates of all
ages.
Infirmary on Magazine street, established August 19—
Admissions 99 | Discharges 12
Deaths 16 | Remaining 71
These admissions, however, include tbe orphan
children received here, of whom there were some
fifteen. The report of this infirmary for the twen
ty-four hours preceding our visit yesterday was:
Admissions 11, deaths none, discharges 4.

There are now five asylums established for the
reception of children who have been made orphans
by the pestilence: one in tbe building of the Chris
tian Brothers School, on the comer of Constance
and Poeyfarrc atreeta, which contains about 180
inmates; one in the Fourth District, as noted above,
containing about 25 children; one in the Third
District, with about the same number of inmates;
one in cennection with the Magazine street infirm
ary ; one recently established on Liberty street,
and which we did not visit. Altogether, these
asylums do not contain less than two hundred chil
dren.

The Comet.
On Saturday last, about half past 7 P. M. a large
Comet was seen by many of onr citizens—and ex
cited much attention. Its altitude when first
seen was abont 20 dag., its position 20 deg. North
of West, as near as could be ascertained in tbe
absence of proper instruments—the tail wis ex
tended about 5 deg. and nearly vertical—it was
very plainly discemable with tho naked eye—its
head was apparently as large as Jupiter, though
not quite so bright. On Monday night it was ea
gerly looked for, but owing to a dense cloud was
not seen until nearly an hour later, and then at
apparently 25 deg. of altitude. As none of the
astronomical phenomena of the year point to the
appearance of this Comet, we mast wait for the
information concerning it from some ofthe obser
vators throughout the country.
It however is very probable that this is the same
Comet that made its appearance in A. D. 1264,
and 1556, which is supposed to be the same as de
scribed by tbe Chinese annalist, as having appear
ed in tho year 104 and 895, and again in 975—its
period of leluin is 292 years, and was expected in
1848, but on calculating the probable disturbance
occasioned by tbe planets, Mr. Hind calculated its
return in 1858, August 2d—aud Mr. Halley 1860,
August 22d—it is therefore more than probablo
this is tbe same Comet, which not meeting tho ob
structions calculated on by astronomers has
made its appearance the 20th of August, 1858.
Shonld it remain visible long enough, and ap
proach near enough to the earth to present the
same appearance it didin 1264. it will be a sight
to be remembered, as it then bad a tail exten
ding over 100 deg. in length—more than one half
the apparent firmament.
As great dread has heretofore existed in the
minds of many persons concerning the appear
anceof Comets, it will be pehaps well to state
that they are considered as’ well regulated bo
dies as the planets in their motions, but as their's is
an ellipse, they are long out of sight of thi> earth.
Os the 600 or 700 comets on record, the orbits of
177 have been computed. Herseheil, the great
astronomer, has from observations drawn the
following osnclusions: —That the matter of the
nucleus of the comet is poworfully dilated and ex
cited into a vaporous state by the action of the
sun’s rays escaping on the portion of the nucleus
which is turned toward the sun—it is prevented
from proceeding in the direction first impressed
upon it by some force directed from the sun drif
ting it back and carrying it to a vast distance be
hind the buu, thus forming the tail. The enor
mous velocity and immense distance to which tiiia
matter is carried from the comet precludes tho
possibility of so feeble a gravitating force as is
supposed to be possessed by the nucleus or head,
being able to retain it, and therefore at every ap
proach to the sun a comet losea somewhat of its
balk. Bcssell calculated that the mass ofHalley’s
comet, whose period was 74 to 77 years, lost
1-23000 of its whole quantity.
A Man Reatored (o Life after Borlnl lor Ten
Montba.
The subjoined extract is translated from tbe
Paris Journal of Magnetism, which quotes as its
authority a very remarkable book, published by
Mr. Osborn, an English officer, on his return
from the Court of Runjesting, in India. We
most also add, that Gen. Ventura, who was one of
the witnesses in this extraordinary transaction,
testified to the correctness of the statement when
he subsequently visited Paris. Mr. Osborn says:
“On the 6tb of Jane 1838, the monotony, of
our life in camp was agreeably interrupted by 'the
arrival of an individual who had acquired great
eelibrity in the PuDjaub. Tho natives regarded
him with great veneration, on acootint of the facil
ity he possessed in remaining underpound as long
as he pleased, and then reviving again. Snob ex
traordinary facts were related in the country con
cerning this man, and so many respectable per
sons testified to their authenticity, that we were
extremely desirous of seeing him; for instance,
Capt. Wade, of Lodhiana informed me that he
had himself been present at tbe resurrection of
the Fakir in the presence of Gen. Ventura, the
Bajah, and several men of distinction among the
natives, and that after his interment had lasted
several months."
The following are the details which were given
him of the interment, and those that ho added
on his own authority of the examination:
“At the end of some preparations which had
lasted several duys, and which would be too tedi
ous to enumerate, the Fakir declared himself
ready for the experiment: the witness mot
around a tomb of mason work, constructed ex
pressly to receive him. Before their eyes the
Fakir closed with wax (with the exception of
his mouth) the apertures of his body through
which air might be admitted; then he stripped
off all his clothing. He was then enclosed in a
linen bag, and by his direction his tongue turned
back, so as to enclose the entrance of his throat.
Immediately after this operation the Fakir fell
into a lethargic state. The bag which contained
lum was then closed and sealed by the Rajah.
This sack was then placed into a wooden box,
which was locked with a padlock, and sealed.
The box was lowered into the tomb, over which
was throwned a great quantity of earth, wliioh
was trampled down and then sown with barley:
finally, sentinels were *et to watch it day and
night. Notwithstanding all these precautions, the
Rajah still was conspicuous; he came twice
during ten months that the Fakir remained
buried, and caused the tomb to be examined; he
found tho Fakir precisely as he had left him, per
fectly cold and inanimate.
The ten months having expired, they proceed
ed to the final examination. Qen. Ventura and
Captain Wade saw the padlock Opened, the seals
broken, and the chest raised from the tomb. The
Fakir was removed; there was no indication of
the heart or pulse. In the top of his head there
remained some slight sensatiou of heat. After
first placing the tongue in a natural position and
then pouring warm water over his body, he began
to evinco some signs of life. After two hours he
was quite restored and walked about. This won
derful man is about thirty years of age, his fig
ure is unpleaant, and his oountenance has a cun
ning expression.
“He says that ho hod delicious dreams during
his interment, and that restoration was very pain
ful to him.”
Science fob Every-day Life. —A variety of in
teresting and important papers wore read before
the American Scientific Association during the
late session at Cleveland. Wm. H. Thomas,
Esq., of Cincinnati, read an essay, which dis
cussed the indication of weather, as shown by
animals, iusects and plants ; and was full of facts,
many of them new, and of scientific explanations
of themselves. Birds, it asserts, invariably show,
by the way they build their nests, whether a sea
son is to be windy or otherwise. If the former,
they thatch the nest between the twigs and lining.
If the latter, they omit these precautions. If a
dry season is in prospect, they build in open
places. If a wet one, they chose sheltered spots.
A careful observation of these peculiarities will
afford, Mr. Thomas says, a certain criterion, early
in the spring, of the coining weather.
Snails also reveal, by their habits, whether rain
may be expected or not. Several species of these
animals invariably ascend the stems of plants
two days before a rain, in order to place them
selves on a leaf, there to imbibe tho water, for they
never drink. Other species have tuberculeß that
rise from their bodies generally ten days before a
rain, there being a pore at the end of each tubercule
to imbibe the water. Others grow yellowish
while just before a rain, returning to a darker
color after rain. Locusts also foretell rain by
sheltering themselves undob the leaves of trees,
and in hollows and trunks, os soon as, by the
changes in the atmosphere, they discover that rain
is impending. Most leaves of trees are also ba
rometers, for, if rain is to be light they turn up
so as to receive their 411 of water, while, for a
long rain, they double so as to conduct the water
away.
Another member, Professor Brooklesby, of Hurt
ford, read a paper describing a spring, near his
residence, whose waters rose invariably before a
rain. Ho suggested that the diminished atmos
pheric pressure which precedes a rain was the
cause of the phenomenon, and recommended that
observations should be made overthe whole coun
try, to ascertain whether the phenomenon was
general or only exceptional. It would be curious
if the former could be established, and not less
useful than curious, for if nature has made every
spring a natural barometer, the fact will be a vast
benefit to know. —Mobile Register.
The Ether Bhip.— We have already noticed the
invention by M. Trembley, Paris, of a mode of
propulsion by chloroform or ether. The Paris
journal, La Freese, announces the new enterprise
as follows:
“The establishment of transatlantic lines no
longer requires, as the condition tine qua non of
itß existence, the sanction of the state granting n
subsidy. Under the praiseworthy initiative of the
MM. Gauthier Brothers, of Lyons, anew company
has been formed. This company, owner ot the
invention of M. du Trembley, is at the present
moment organizing a service of rapid transport
packets between the principal ports of France and
the ports of America and India. According to the
memoir published by MM. Gauthier Brothers, ape
cial services will be established in the ports of
Lorient, Nantes, Bordeaux aud Marseilles. These
services will correspond with the principal points
of the American continent, New York, Norfolk,
Martinique, and Bio Janeiro.
“They will touch at intermediate points, or will
be connected with these points by auxiliary lines.
The ships will be built upon the mixed principle,
that is to say, they will have the power of üßing
together, or separately, steam and sails. The speed
of the ships will be from ten to twelve knots an
hour. If government desires to establish a postal
service, ships intended exclusively for the trans
port of dispatches will be provided, and will have
a speed of sixteen knots per hour. As for our
selves, happy at last to Bee our country enter npon
the path on which other great nations have gone
before, ws congratulate ourselves on having pre
dicted in some sort what is now taking place. We
most heartily wish for the enterprize ths success
which, in fact, we do not doubt will attend it.”
Whilst, however, these magnificent promises are
made by the friends of the new motor, the Govern
ment is paying more attention to the caloric en
gine of our countryman, Ericsson. The Minister
of the Marine and of the Colonies has nominated
a commission, charged to examine the hot air en
gine which Mr. Ericsson has sent to Havre, and
which has been put up and set to work in the
buildings of MM. Mazeline. M. Combes, a mem
ber of the French Institute, is now at Havre mak
ing experiments with the engine. Bagret is ex
pressed that Mr. Ericsson has not bad time to for
ward to Havre a description of the improvements
he has already introduced into hia machine, in
order that they might be examined and conclu
sively reported on by Mr. Combes during this
visit.— Balt. American.
Catholic Oi'orations in thx Unitan Statzb.—
A letter from Father de Smel, dated Bt. Louis,
February 6th, 1858, whioh appears in the July
number of the “Annalt of the Propagation oj the
Faith," contains some important statements re
specting the condition and prospects of the Bo
man Church in the United States. According to
this writer the Jesuit Society progresses here at a
slow but steady pace, having already seventeen
colleges, a number which would soon be doubled
if the requisite staff of teachers could be proenred.
Bequests for new establishments are made by the
Bishops in all parts of the Union, including New
Mexico and California. In New Mexico there are
stated to be one hundred thousand Catholics, of
whom ten thousand are Indians, and for all these
there are but twelve priests, and not a single
school nor college. In the whole United States
the letter says, there are Dear four millions of
Catholics, though all of these figures seem like
mere rough guesses, not based upon actual data.
Father de Smet complains of a groat lack of
priests, which, as he expresses it, is “keenly felt
in a country where Protestantism, indifference,
irreligion, infidelity, rusn like a torrent in ail di
rections, and bear in their current thousands of
Catholice.”— Philadelphia American.
The treasonable correspondence found conceal
ed in Maj or Andre’s boots, when he was searched
by Paulding. Williams and Van Wert, has re

a description of the fortifications, with suggestions
in regairi to weak and expoaad points. There ia

We published in the Eecorder of the 25th ult.,
Judge Johnson’s views of the politics of the day,
as contained in his letter of November 5,1850. —
Scarcely three years since—end now, those opin
ions ere obsolete. The charge of inconsistency

"What then is the first thing to bo done ? Re
trace our steps we cannot. But we can at least
terminate these accursed alliances. Then, let Ihe
first object of onr State Convention be the con
struction of a true Southern Bights Platform, on
whioh may be rallied aud organized a true South
ern Bights Party, whose watchword shall be un
compromising hostility to all men and all parties,
either North or South who are not only above sus
picion, but openly and unequivocally in favor of
the constitutional rights of the South.
No* where do we find the consistent Judge in
1858 l and who are his associates. Does he and
Ins party stand aloof from every body. North and
South “who are not above suspicion?" Do Dix,
Vroom, Brown, Grey, and others of like character,
who are now receiving favors at the hands of the
administration "stand above suspicion ?” And
have they proclaimed themselves openly and un
equivocally in favor of the constitutional rights of
the South ? When, aud where, we ask l And
yet Judge Johnson is now in fellowship with them
instead of "terminating the aocursed alliance.”—
Alas! alas I The magic influence of office and
power —their bitter vituperations against the South
and her institutions are lost sight of by tho Simon
purs Democratic Party South.
In re-organiz.ng the Democracy of Georgia in
1858, did every one oome up and stand upon this
true Southern Bights Platform of 1850 ? Uncom
promising hostility to all men North or South, who
are not only above suspicion, but openly and une
quivocally are in favor of the Constitutional rights
ofthe South?” Not one! Aud yet they openly
say, “we are not changed !” Their watoh-word
is now “Gen. Pieree’s Administration.” Is this
consistent 1 Is there no “accursed alliance”
here, especially when Gen. Pierce’s appointments
sre made from the ultras of party—and not from
good conservative constitutional men—in direct
violation of his Inaugural '!
In 1850 Jndge Johnson’s zeal for Southern
Bights forced from him the acknowledgment that
there was not enough virtue in either of the two
national parties to suit him or his friends. Speak
ing of the Fugitive Slave Bill, he says; “ when it
was proposed by Mr. Mason of Virginia, it re
ceived bat three Northern Votes in tbe Senate,
and barely enough in the House to secure its pas
sage. Indeed, U wonld have never passed the
Senate, for the dodging of Nothern Senators,
who, though known to be opposed to the bill,
wanted the moral courage to meet tbe question.”
Where are “ the dodgers” now ? Have they been
expelled from the ranks of the Democratic Par
ty, that the South may hold allianoe with them for
the sake the es Union ? No—they hold the same
opinions still, but being good democrats—Aboli
tionists and Free-soilers—are closely hugged by the
“ Southern Bights” party—Judge Johnson now
foremost in the lead. Why this glaring incon
sistency ? Tbe spoils! The spoils 11
The truth is, the Southern Bights or Fire-eating
party of 1850, and the re-organised Democracy,
us they call themselves in 1858, are so totally dis
simular as light to darkness. They have “ re
traced their steps,” though their leader said, “they
could not.” They have eaten their own words.
They stand now in such a position to all their for
mer tenets, that it wonld seem they could never
have the hardihood to charge inconsistency npon
any other party, or attempt to hookwink or entice
Ifnion Democrats to act with them. Wo think
the Union Democrats are made of sterner stuff
and will not lack the moral courage to meet any
Question before them at the ballot box—spite of
udge Johßon’s opinion of that “contemptible”
Union Party “ who wonld still chuant hymns to
this gloriouß Union,” let Congress do her utmost
against the South! — Southern Recorder.
Then and Now.
“It is almost universally admitted that the South
has been grievously wronged by the late action of
Congress, respecting the territories of the United
Btatos. There are few, however, who deny even
this proposition. They are of course, not only for
uncomplaining submission, but for kissing the
hand that smites us. They ovon profess to see in
the reoent measures of Congress, the indication of
a returning sonso of justice, on tho part of the
North, ana the dawnings of a brighter day for the
South. To reason with such would bo “like cue
ting pearls beforo swine.” “Let them alone, they
are joined to their idols”—offloe and place—and
ready to sacrifice on their altars, principles aod
home and country. With such, I have no sympa
thy—for them, I can have no respect. If their er
ror be founded in ignorance, I pity them as fools; if
it be the offspring of designing ambition, I con
demn them as knaves.”
Such was the language used by Judge Johnson
in his letter of November 5, 1850—in which he
places all thoso, including Oov. Cobb, who approv
ed the Compromise in the category of fools or
knaves. How characteristic aro these choice terms,of
his love for Union men and principles—with what
supreme contempt did this advooate of resistance,
look upon the whole submission pack !
But now, how different 1 He is suddenly enamor
ed with those knaves and fools— adopts their plat
form—makes the Administration of Gen. Jackson,
(force-bill and all,) and the inaugural declarations
of Gen. Pierce, tho exponents of his creed—the
“brilliant illustrations ” of his new-born Democracy.
“The Union must be preserved,” says Gen. Jack
son, and commissions bis fleets accordingly—just
so, says “Hickory Johnson.” The Compromise is
constitutional and ought to be unhesitatingly oh
served, says Mr. Pierce—precisely so, responds the
fire-oater. How can the ‘■‘then and now" Mr. John
son be reconciled. Was the Johnson of 1850 sin
cere in urging resistance 1 Is the J ohnson of 1858

Georgia Elections.— We look with muoh inter
est to the result of this eleotion. It is a test of the
popular capacity to renounce tho shackles of party
ana select their representatives upon the just basis
of personal competency, and the adaptation of
political principle to the promotion of popular wel-
The Georgia organization as we understand it is
emphatically republican; it neither endorses the
Executive supremacy of the Democrats, nor the
consolidation of the Fedralists. It does not deem
it the interest of the States that the General Gov
ernment should contruotand own all the works of
internal improvements within tho States; nor does
it deem it a patriotic obligation upon the peoplo of
Georgia to advocate an increaso of duties for the
nurture of a local interest, whon the climate, raw
material, and position of Georgia, arein themselves
a protection adequate to the support of any manu
factures by hand or maohinery whiob may be estab
lished in the State. The republican organization
of Georgia does not advocates restoration of tho
ancient flsoal connexion between the Federal Gov
ernment and a National Bank, because, as the
constitutionality of such an institution depended
upon its necessity, there is no longer any propriety
in adding to the powers of the Government or the
patronage of the Executive.
It is impossible to prediot tho result of this at
tempt at political reform. Those who owe their
positions entirely to their connexion with party,
are of course indignant, or apprehensive of tno re
sult. We note, as agood effect of this new divi
sion, that some of the most vehement advocates of
Disunion three years ago, aie now roproaching the
Republicans with desinging to revive the sectional
dispute now so happily adjusted.— Washington
Rep. 25 th inst.
“ Tho timet change and men change with them."
Never was the truth of this old adage more ful
ly verified than in the history of the disunion
leaders. Once they were for breaking up the
Union, nolens volens; now they are, it appears,
the only true lubmiitioniete in the country. Once
they contended that a State might kick up her
hells, and jump out of the Union whenever and
however she pleased. Once Secession was a
constitutional and peaceful remedy, now it is only
a revolutionary right. Hear what the Cassville
Standard says of Judge Johnson’s Fresknt views
upon this subject. Speaking of his speeohes in
Cherokee, the editor of that paper says:
il He believe* the right of Seceetion exists only at a
RrvonmoNAXY —not at a constitutional right."
Now this is the testimony of one of the Judge’s
own organs. It is even stated that he admits the
constitutionality of the Compromise. What will
the Macon Telegraph , Columbus Times, Oglethrope
Democrat, Marietta Advocate , and other similar
papers, who made orthodoxy npon this subject a
condition precedent of their support, say to this
position of their candidate 1 Can our Southern
Bights friends in justice to themselves longer sup

tergiversates to catch the votes of those Union

2d. Thst the bad chloroform, containing free
chlorine and hydrochloric acid may be produced
by using a bleachiDg salt of great strength with
squantity of aloohol disproportionately small.
Bd. That the bad chloroform may be produced
by receiving tho distillate into water, so as im
mediately to withdraw the alcohol from the chlo
roform. . , , .
4th. That the bad chloroform msy be produced
by passing chlorine directly into chloroform.
sth. Thst no formula for its manufacture can
be relied upon as a guide, since bleachingsalt vary
in strength when derived from different factories,
and vary with age. In the foregoing experiments
the range is from 15 to 80 per cent. '
6th. That quick lime added to the mixture does
not promote the economy of manufacture.
7th. That the chlorine and hydrochloric acid
of bad chloroform, as observed bv Dr. Dwight,
may be removed by agitation with a little alco
h°Bth. That the ill effects observed in the ad
ministration of chloroform, are not due to the
presenoe of chlorine, as the irritation is such
when it is attempted to inhale it as to prevent inba

9th. The ill effects are not due to any poisonous
product arising from the action of , b ’ e V*' n ?
on the small quantity of fußell oil in the alcohol em
ployed in the manufacture of chloroform.

of constitution or temperament of some patients,

Another Slave Caen.
The steamer Tropie landed at the wharf on
Thursday evening about io’olook, having onboard
three slaves, Edward, Hannah, andSnsan who had
been purchased in the np country, and were being
taken to the Sooth. The matter becoming known,
a habeas corpus was applied for npon the affidavit
of Wm. Troy, a oolored man, and they were
brought before Judge Finn yesterday afternoon.
Upon being brought before the Judge, the wo
man Hannah expressed a wish to be allowed to re
turn to her master on tho boat. Tho Judge im
mediately remanded her to the eußtody ot the
claimants withont investigation. Judge Flinn
asked Hannah if she had the charge of the ohild
Susan, to whieh she answered that she had.
Whereupon the Judge also ordered her beck
into the custody ofthe claimants without exami
nation. Mr. Jolliffe protested againßt remanding
the child back without examining the ease. The
Judge said he would take the respousibility, and
the two slaves Hannah and Sußan, were taken ont
of Court and conveyed over to Covington. Susan
was a little girl of some four or five years of age.
The examination in regard to Edward was then
taken up.
Mr. French the captain of the boat; Mr. Eno,
the clerk: Mr. Lipsey, who had the slaves in
charge, ana several others, were examined. From
their testimony it appeared that Edward, with the
won an and child, were bought by Mr. Doty and
Mr. Ambrose in Virginia, and taken on board the
Tropic, to be conveyed to the plantations of the
purchasers in Mississippi. Edward was put on
the boat at Cattleßburg, iu manacles, and so con
tinued until they arrived in this oity. They were
in the immediate care of Mr. Lipsey, the agent of
the purchasers, wlio had been employed to take
thorn down tho river.
They had intended to land the negroes in Coving
ton, but were prevented from doing soon aooount
ot tho lowness of the water. They therefore laid
up the boat at tho Ohio shore. The boat was at
tached to the landing in the usual way. Shortly
after tho boat landed Lipsey took]the three slaves
on to the Ohio shore, and took them from above
Sycamore streot, on tho landing down to the ferry
boat, and took them over into Covington, where
they were kept during the night.
Tiioy wore brought back in the same manner
Josterday morning, and replaced on the ateamboat.
n doing so it appeared that the slaves were in this
oity on the Ohio shore, and at considerable dis
tance from tho margin of tho river. They were ell
this time under the immediate charge of Lipsey,
the agent ofthe owners, Doty and Ambrose.
After the oase had been argued by oouncil (or
both parties, Judge Flinn said the ease oame be
fore tne Court on a writ of habeas oorpus. Both
parties had said they were ready, and he seid if
he commenced it, he shonld deoide before sdjonrn
ment. What was the ease? The boy was taken
on board the boat in Virginia, in custody of the
agent, and the captain of tho boat agrees to take
him to Cairo. He further agrees, when he reaches
Cincinnati, to land the boy at Covington.
Arriving here, he found it impossible so
to do, and he lands on tho Ohio shore, the boat
being abont 40 feet from the line. By the ad
vico of some passengers, the agent takes the boy
on the Ohio shore, takeß him to the ferry boat,
and earrios him to Covington; keeps him there
over night; returns him to-day at tne appointed
hour for starting. When again on board tne boat,
the writ is served, and the boy brought before the
Court.
The question is, does this particular land give
the boy his freedom 1 The authorities read by
the counsel for the boy, all related to States whion
had a local law on the subject, and on them the
decision was based. We had no statute on the
subject, and, of coarse, must not look to the de
cision of those States which had statutes on the
subject. We do not set here to make a new rela
tion between these parties—we merely wish to in
quire what the relation between them is. The
oase did not come within the acknowledged prin
ciple—that a voluntary bringing of a slave to a
free Stato conferred freedom.
Lipsey, the ageut, contrary to the oommand of
the owner, had brought the slave here, —would
that have conferred freedom 1 Saifon, the captain
of the boat, had done se I Neither of these eases
would have given him freedom—they would have
been treated os a case of ordinary escape. The
law was not a trap, it must be interpreted by the
principles of common sense. The egont was com
pelled by force of circumstances to bring the boy
on to the Ohio shore—it was not a voluntary act.
None of tho cases read by counsel for the slave
were analogous to this.
Wo have a decision of our own courts very
analogous to it—the decision of Judge Seed, ana
by that the boy must be remanded to the care of
tho agent of his master. The arm of the law that
brought him here is strong enough to take him
back. There could be no doubt in this case. The
order of the Court was, that he be remanded to
the custody of the agent and placed on board the
boat.
An order to this effect was plaoed in the hands
of the Sheriff.
A bill of exceptions to the decision in the case
of the child, and also in this case, was then
filed by the counsel for tho slaveß.
The Court adjourned, and the boy was conduct
ed to the boat by the Sheriff.

Monster Steam Sbifs'kor Australia.— The East
ern Steam Navigation Company, of London, have
concluded provisional arrangements for the con
struction of the engines and hull of the first vessel
ofa new line of steamers, to sail between that port,
India, and Australia. The dimensions and powers
of the ships are intended to be as follows, viz:
length, 080 feet; breadth, 88 feet; depth,sß feet:
with screw and paddle engines; aggregate nominal
horse power, 2,600. This extraordinary size the
company consider necessary when the nature of
the trade in which they will be engaged, and the
length of the voyage they will have to perform, are
taken into consideration. They will carry a suffi
cient quantity of coal to perform the entire voyage
to Australia or Japan, and home, a' 1 will have
upwards of 5,000 tons measurement left for mer
chandise. They will have 600 oabins for passen
gers of the highest class, and ample space for thoee
of the lower. In increasing the size of the vessels,
the company believe that they will obtain the ele
ments of speed hitherto unknown, and if, hereafter,
coal applicable to the purpose of steam oan be sup
plied from the mines of Australia, the carrying
capacity of the ships will be proportionately in
creased. It is believed that the great length of
these vessels will enable them to pass through the
water at a velocity of fifteen knots per hour, with
a smaller power in proportion to their tonnage
than ordinary vessels now require to make ten
knots an hour. No doubt is entertained but that
the voyage between England and India, by the
Cape, will be reduced to from thirty to thirty-nine
days, and between England and Australia to thirty
three or thirty-six days. The hulls of the ships
will be of iron, and of more than usual strength,
whilst the magnitude of their dimension will afford
peculiar facilities for introducing many precau
tionary measures conducive both to strength and
security.
Accident on the Central Kailroad. —On Mon
day last, the down passenger train from Maoon
ran upon some cows near station 12, and the En
gine was thrown off the track. Mr. Patrick Bcrns.
the fireman, jumped from the engine and fell
down the embankment, which was about ten feet
high, and though not outwardly hurt, his internal
injuries were so severe that he died in about 2J<
hours. The injury was probably to his spine, aa
he lost the use of his limbs before he died, and
said they were destitute of feeling. The engin
eer was caught by some part of the machinery but
not hurt. The curs were not thrown off the track,
and of course no passenger was injured. Mr.
Burn’s body was brought to the city, and an in
quest held upon it by Coroner Eden. The ver
dict rendered was in accordance with the above
facta.— Sack. Republican, 81*1 ull.
Necktalizino Oitknsive Odors.— The North
British Agriculturist furnishes a statement of
Lindsey Blyth, in relation to a very succesaftil ex
periment for destroying a most offensive smell in
a stable, arising from the decomposition of ma
nures. He tried the mixture of Epsom Salta and
Plaster of Paris, (gypsum)—“ the most wonderful
effects followed and the stable-keeper was delight
ed.” Previously, the stable was damp and un
wholesome: and if closed for a few hours, the
ammoniacle vapors were suffocating. After sprink
ling the sulphates underneath the straw, and along
the channel of the drain, the smell disappeared,
and even the walls became drier. Qe recommends
as an economical preparation for this purpose and
for sewers, magnesia limestone dissolved in sul
phuric acid, (forming sulphates of magnesia, or
Epsom salts,) with a portion of super-phosphate
or lime (made by dissolving bones in aulphurio
acid)—these, at the same time that they retain the
escaping ammonia, add greatly by their own pres
ence, to the value of the manure.
Another Great Cave in Kentucky —A party of
gentlemen, week before last, partially explored a
cave in Muhlenburg county, about ten miles south
of Greenville. The cave was first discovered lest
winter by a person who tracked several raocoons
into it. The gentlemen who lately examined it
went in, as they supposed, about two miles, when
they came to a pit which they could not pass for
want of a ladder, but saw that the cave extended
beyond. While travelling the two miles, they
discovered eight or ten branches leading ofi in
different directions, some of them apparently lar
ger than the direct avenue. A petrified monkey,
as perfect in shape as if it was alive, was found
in the cave some weeks ago. The Muhlenbui*
county surveyor intends making an early exami
nation of this cave, when the publio will no doubt
be put in possession of fnrthif information OOQ*

hlhrijinrilMlr Creation of Wealth.
If one ehonld attempt to get together all the fuote
that show the value of the railway an a oreator of
wealth, btialneas and property, he would find the
aoeonnt qnite voluminous, and after all, perhaps,
And hia labors thrown away, because such facta are
not now needed to stimulate the faith of capitalists
and others. The thing that now is most wanted,
is a proper degree of prudenoe. We should re
strain men rather than invite them to build more
railways. We should oaution them to' beware of
that dangerous re-aotion whioh always follows the
strength of the fever. There is a natural law in
operation in the human eoonomy in trade, and
everything else, whioh it is dangerous to forget or
tamper with. Prudent men know this, and gener
ally act upon, though sometimes they forget its full
influence. In the operationofonrrailwaysystem,
certain matters have transpired which are worth
repeating, and we shall apeak of a few of them just
for the Interest that railway men may feel in the
general subject.
In comparing the oensus of Massachusetts of 1840
with that of 1850, several facts aro found, showing
the influence of railway. The valuation of the
State doubled in that period, going ft-0m5800,000,-
000 to $600,000,000; we say doubled, because the
census returns so indioate, but had we Bald treblod,
It would probably be nearer right, for, as men grow
rloh, the more apt are they to conceal the amount
of their wealth. Among other things noticablo wus
the faot that there were seventy-two townsin which
the population did not increase from 1840 to 1860.
They were all agricultural towns, not enjoying
railway fkoilities. A number of these rural places
contained more inhabitants in 1880 even than they
did in 1850. This faot may be accounted for by the
fact that, as our railway wore built, the tendency
of population was to their immediate lines. The
rapid inorease of valuation of property located on
the line of our railways ia too well known to rcq u i re
comment. In some of tho Western States whore
the railways now constructing have opened the
wild lands to the market, there has been n rapid
sale at a very large per oentare over the (Govern
ment price. The Galena Jeffersonian in notioing
the matter, states that every acre of Government
land aloDg the Hue of the Illinois Central Railway,
not claimed by the company, has been taken up by
speculators and settlers at $3 50 per aoro. A few
years since it oould not havo been given away, and
ten years henoe probably Borne of It will be worth
fifty or even a hundred dollars per acre, while the
average inorease in price for the whole, will not lull
short of three or four hundred percent. Therapid
inorease of property in theStato of Michigan, where
railway construction was oommenoed at a very luto
period, will show some remarkable facts for the
stultist. The two main lines of railway, the Michi
gan Southern and the Michigan Central Ruilwayn,
were both finished through fromtbe east to Chica
go in the early part of 1853. Wo givo below the
valuation of the State of Miohigan for the years
1851 and 1858:
Valuation In 1851 $81,536,657
Valuation in 1858 76,785,465
Inorease in two years $55,308,588
There are some thirty counties in the State of
Miohigan, besides the Northern Peninsular of that
State Tying upon lake Superior. The two railways
run through but twelve of these oounties. Now,
had this increase of $65,308,588 been equitably dis
tributed over the whole State, the railway oounties
would be entitled to about one-seventh of it, or
nearly eight millions of dollars. We give below,
oopied from the Chicago Tribune, the valuation of
the different oounties, through whioh these two
roads are run, at the periods specified. The fol
lowing relates to the Michigan Central Railway:
Valuation. 1851. 1858.
Wayne $8,888,318 $18,067,881
Wasntenaw 2,461,878 6,375,000
Jaokson 1,616,459 4,810,656
Calhoun 1,687,487 8,646,816
Kalamacoo 1,064,192 4,810,655
Van Buren 641,668 1,683,561
Total $11,084,247 $40,444,018
Increase of six oounties $20,859,771
The valuation of the oounties through whioh the
Michigan Southern Railway ia looated, is as fol
lows:
Valuation 1851. 1858.
Monroe $960,844 $1,886,000
Hillsdale 966,240 4,167,925
Branoh 887,280 2,874,854
St. Josephs 1,088,920 4,119,675
Berrien 875,749 2,874,854
Lenawee 411,666 1,200,448
Total 45,166,899 $18,066,858
Inorease of six oounties $18,902,469
From these facts it appears that instead oi show
ing only one seventh of the total inorease of value
in the State, the twelve railroad counties have over
three-fourths of the entire inorease of valuo in the
whole State. Those facts may be multiplied to
almost an indefinite extent, but we see no reason
for it at present. With the light whioh the publio
has at present upon the advantage ol railway con
struction, they do not need any urging to go into
railway building. We fear we shall soon have oc
casion to And arguments to restrain that extension
of the system whioh threatens to eat up the entire
floating capital, if not the credit of the country.—

Startling Developments.
Maqnifioxnt Bohkme of Codntibfxitino tux
Ohio Btat* Stock Banks fboii to* Ohio in al Platkh.
—All remember the recent shock produood upon
bankers and bill holders throughout the State by
the startling telegraph announcement from Cin
cinnati, that bills, to wbat amount was unknown,
on various of the State Btock Banks, were in oir
oulation, struck from the original plates, but Jilted
up by counterfeiters. Ol oourao, banters were hh
liable to be imposed upon by these bills as bill
holders, and as a measure of safety it was sug
gested to shut down upon the entiro circulation of
this class of banks. A regular stampede among
the bill holders was the consequence, aDd a run to
a considerable extent on all the State Stock or In
dependent Banks was the result.
A convention of bankers wus called at Colum
bus to investigate the affair and report to tho peo
ple. It 1b supposed that the auditor, who logally
Is in possession of the plates, had been guilty of
some oriminal negllgenoe, or that the engravers
were leagued with rogues to enrich themselves and
ruin the hanks. All sorts of rascally conjectures
and oriminal suspicions were afloat by both bank
ers and people, to the great annoyance of some,
and much aotuai damage to the banks.
At last the mystery has been unraveled, and we
are permitted by one of the parties most deeply
concerned, to give publicity to the following state
ments;—
A few months ago a rumor was current that a
few bills on the Miami Valley Bank had found
their way into oiroulation without the proper filling
up and registry at the auditor’s office. It may be
well to state that the general law authorizing what
is called free banking in this state, requires the
auditor to procure the engraving and furnish the
bills for said bank, ohurgmg the expense on their
acoonnt, and that as fast as said banks deposit with
him state stock securities, he issues bills duly re
gistered to the same amount.
Bawdon, Wright & Co., Cincinnati, had been
employed to get the plates for theso banks, and
foroonvenienoe, as they were oontinually receiving
orders from the auditor for new issues, kept the
plates in their possession. Thus matters stood,
till, a few weeks ago, an alarming quantity of
these genuine bills, with counterfeit signatures,
appeared, not on the Miami Valley Bank, but of
some half dozen others of the State stocks. The
public were alarmed and put upon their guard,
and at the same time, the auditor, Mr. Jones, the
agent of the engravers, and as we Bald before, the
bankers, set themselves about investigating the
affair.
To the vigilanoeand indomitable perseveranoe
of the auditor, who, although silent, slept not, is
muoh of the credit due tor exploding this, tho
most ounningly devised and stupendous scheme of
public robbery ever oonoocted in this or any other
country. He went to Cincinnati, found the plates
all right, and in their plaoe in the engraver’s
hands. Nobody suspected about the establish
ment—all was quiet there. Tho next object war,
to trace their issue from first hands. This was
impossible. The next was to go among the rogues
ana scoundrels in the city, and they are always
plenty enough in Cincinnati, visit the jails and
gambling booses, and with bribes, elicit the secret.
Here “the snake was scotched.” Among the
gang of counterfeiters recently arrived at Cov
ington, Ky., was found one who knew ail about
this matter, and for a consideration, revealed the
whole affair.
He was one of several who had bribed one of
the employees of Bawdon, Wright & Co's estab
lishment, to furnish them billsln small amounts,
from time to time, for cosh in hand. Thiß em
ployee was counted tho most honest and upright
man in the establishment, had been there 11
years, treated in all things confidentially, and was
entirely above suspicion. For some months back,
Mr. Jones, the agent, had observed a change in
his appearanoe, looking haggard and fatigued, and
supposing it was ill health, oooaaioned by so much
confinement, induced him to go East for his
health, where he still was when this developement
took place. Yesterday it was telegraphed to us
that he bad been arrested, which acoounta for giv
ing publicity to this to-day. It was feared he
might leave the country, if informed of what haft
been revealed against him by his accomplice in
the Cincinnati jail. As near as can be ascertained,
about fifteen thousand dollars of those spurious
bills have been issued, but the informer thinks
that considerable of it still remains in the coun
terfeiter’s hands.
A lady, one of the gang, now confined atColum.
baa, oonfirme this statement. The banks have de
termined to redeem as fast as presented, all their
old iasne, and have ordered new plates on which
new isanes are to be made. Mr. Jones, the agent
of the engravers, has redeemed some thousand
dollars of the spurious currency, ontof his private
funds. In the end, the public can lose but little.
Tbe banks, trom the inoonvenience of withdrawing
their old circulation and getting up new, will suffer
much.
It is said that this same gang of counterfeiters
had got their schemes laid to git hold of the plates
of tbe State Bank, in the hands of other engravers,
and had not this affair exploded so soon, would
have had out any quantity of “ State Bank,” bills
in conjunction with the independent banks.
It is said by those who have been investigating
the matter, that it has been the best laid plot, most
cunningly devised and prudently conducted of
any on record in the criminal history of the coun
try, and in another month would have been put in
operation on so extended a scale as to have pro
duced a general panio by the distress and disar
rangement it would necessarily create in our
money affairs.
Thx Gold Diooinss in Eduetocld are still pro
mising great results. Dorn's is more properly in
Abbeville; but various others, with the richest
indications, are about to be worked in this Dis
trict also. That of Capt. James Dorn, Dr. Dsn
drum & Co., is already progressing finely. We
understand that one of the owners refuses fifty
thousand dollars for his fourth of it. Some ten
or a dozen locations are thought to present highly
favorable marks of a golden abundance. We shall
have Nabobs a plenty in Edgefield yet. The
day for usurers is past and gone. Money is plen
ty (andgold coin too,) at 7 per oent. The fiot ia
we can get It now almost upon our own terms.
They’ll beg us to take it after a while. Bve the
bye, we see it ststed thst a French Chemist has
discovered a bona fid* process of making gold. If
so tbe long sought for Philoeophere’s Stone is
found, and the Golden Age is here. We would .
like to get Frenoby’s reolpe before the value of
the article becomes toomuoh depreciated.—Ad

Cotton at tbs Cbystal Palace.—W e are inform
ed that samples of the bales of Cotton exhibited at
the Crystal Palace were submitted to tbe examina
tion or a committee of three gentlemen of our city,
two of them cotton brokers and the other a mer
chant, for their opinions on its merits; they de
cided the samples were beautiftil to tbe highest de
gree ; that the one marked 8., of Dr. Samuel
Bond, of Memphis, Tenn., was most attractive in
color; but tbe one marked A., exhibited by Col.
John Pope, of Memphis, Tenn., was superior in
