TIM Recast RIIHsg ArsoU at Tort
On the authority of a private letter from Pott
Graham, Texas, the Washington Star fires a new
version of tha alleged deal iu wbicn Major Arnold,
j ot the 2d drag ions, •»» killed bj Asa .slant tjur
! geon Steiner It seem* that Steiear and Lie-ten
; ant Bingham ware quarrelling, aud so diaturbed
| th«garrison as to compel the commander, Major
j Arno'd, t‘i go to them and order them to their re
j -pectiv- quarter*. Steiner then told A. that it ho
! placed hnn tit.der arrest, be would lull him. This
j threat belli* inkeu a* a mere abolition of pas-iont
i Arnold took no notice ot it, and the quarrel ers
: went to their reapectiee quarters. On the next day
J when they bad lima to cool their passions, Arnold
j aant the Adjutant ot the poat with an order to ar
rest both. They were found at Lieut. Bingham a
! quarter*, apparently about to renew the quarrel.
Stainer, on reading the order for hia arreat, gave
bimaelf up, and again remarked that ho would kill
i any man who should arreat him, and desired to ace
Arnold. The Adjutant adviaod him not to go over
to A.’a quarters, feat he might commit himscil by
using violent and insubordinate language; bathe
persisted iu going there.
in a few momenta, the Adjutant heard pirtol
shots there—six—and, rushing ovet, fouud Ar
nold laying weltering in his bloody in the pas
rage between hia two rooms. Steiner bad
I fired four shots, each of which had taken effect
and Arnold bad fired two, neither of which
hit Steiner. Arnold lived but fifteen minute
st or being shot. Steiner had escaped when
the Adjutant entered, but he re-arrested him
a ihw moments afterwards saying that be wa
shout to mount his borse to go and deliver bimsell
up to the civil authorities, lie is now in custody
at the post. Mrs. Arnold was in the Major’s quar
ters, and probably saw the whole affiay. Steiner’s
offence is punishable with death, of course, under
martial law, and we take for granted that ho wiJ
lie fourthwitb court-martialed, uulesa the civil au
thorities take him by writ of hafjtas coryue , out of
the hands of the military—and afterwards, if the
law courts fail to oonvict him.
Steiner, who is a native of Pennsylvania, is said
to be one of the most accomplished surgeons in the
servioe, and so devoted to his profession, that du
ring the Mexican war, after ho had sufficiently at
tended to the wounded on the American side, he
wu in the habit of going amoug the Mexicans and
dresaingand operating on their wounded.
Cleaning Stained Cotton.
Jdaunt B. Black, of Abbeville, Bouth Carolina,
makes the following communication to the Inde
pendent Preee, which may be very valuable to the
Cotton Planters, all or nearly all of whom, have
stained ootton this season. Let the method be
tested:
Ms. Editok:—Having discovered a simple pro
cess by which cotton soiled oy the late rains, may
lie cleansed and whitened. 1 make the sugges
tion for the benefit ot farmers. Take a common
wheat-tbrasher, and raise the cylinder one inch,
the box one-half inch, which will throw the frails
un inch from the cross-bar, and by placing the
cross bars sn inch apart, the dirt and trash pass
through and fall in a heap near the thrasher, and
separately from the cotton. In this way I cleansed
enough dirty cotton to make some three bales of
ginned cotton in sbouttwo hours. It can be clean
ed as fast as several hands can feed the thrasher,
and when done, is as white as that which hue
opened since the rain. Very respectfully,
Josxru B. Black.

the third shot fired, and at that instant the target
sunk in the hallow of the sea, the ball passed
through the top of the swell to the spot where the
barrel was placed, and had it remained in its po

fate of the others. Pew old veterans in the ser

INDIAN INSURRECTION IN ROOI'E KTVER VALLEY.
The San Francisco papers of the 30th furnish
the following important intelligence from Kogtte
lilver Valley, in Oregon. It is oxtractcd from tho
Portland Commercial of the 291 h of August.
Late on Saturday evouing last Mr. Etlinger ar
rived here direct from Jacksonville, bringing a
despatch announcing that a general outbreak had
taken plaoo among the Indian tribee in the vicin
ity of Rogue Kivor. It appears that for some time
past the various tribes in the vicinity t|f tlie above
named rivor have rnado groat oomplaints, and be
come generally dissatisfied at the number of Bos
tons who wero congregated on their former hunt
ing grounds, and this dissatisfaction lias sprung
into a burning desire to exlenninato the whites
irom the regiou of Roguo Rivor Valley, and regain
their former footing and reserve that entire valley
for their own use. in order the moro effectually
to carry out these designs several tribes have join
ed, among wbleh are thb Klmath, Rogue River,
Smith River, Shasta, and it is supposed that a
large portion of the Snakes had also agreed to co
oporate with them.
A portion of each of those tribes, to the number
of about 800, have established their headquarters
and stronghold at a point called Tabic Rock, said
to he one of the most impregnable fortresses in the
territory, and about eight miles distant from Jack
sonville. If, therefore, any engagement should
take place, we may suppose that this fortress will
be the Beene of action.
At the time Mr. £. left Jacksonville nearly 20
persons had been butchered by the Indians.
Among them are Dr. Rose, J. R. Hardin, Mr. Wil
lis, Mr. Noland and Mr. Smith, and the Indians
had burned upwards of a dozen dwellings.
Heretofore the Snako and Rogue River Indians
have never amalgamated for the purpose of acting
againat the whites, and if the report is true thut
they have joined, it is a certain evidence that they
have determined to carry on hostilities on an ex
tensive scale, and ttie only effectual mode of put
ting a stop to their depredations, is to apply a dos
perato remedy, and teach them a similar lessor,
like nnto that which tho Caynscß have heretofore
been taught by tho old sottlera in this valley.
Like many other tribes the Rogue River Indians
derive their name from their propensity tor steal
ing, aud their well known predatory talents have
acquired tor them the unenviable title of Rogues.
We learn from the gentleman who brought the
news, that tho Indians,during the past few weeks
killed no less than twenty miners and settlors,
and that great excitemeut exists around and in
Jacksonville, iu oousoquence of tho cif sens not
having ammunition enoagh to warrant them in
commencing hostilities. Immediately on the first
sympathy or a disturbance, an express was des
patched to Crescent City to procure aid and am
munition ; but unfortunately there was but a small
amount of the latter on hand, but that was freely
given.
Upon the return of the messenger from Cres
cent City, a despatch was immediately sent to the
Acting Governor, G. L. Curry, praying that 100
stand of arms and 4,000 roun.t of ball cartridges
he sent to the relief of the citizens. Tho steamer
Eagle was then chartered, and proceeded to
Vancouver, where, through kindness and exer
tion of Mr. T. J. Ec -ersen, tne keeper of ordnance
and stores, the required supplies were obtained
and were landed at Oregon City on last Sunday
evening. On Mondaythry were placed on board
tho Phoenix, and forwarded to their destination.
We learn that Gen. I*ue, at the head of seven
ty-live volunteers, proceeded to the scene of ac
tion immediately upon learning of the outbreak ;
and great praise is due to the citizens ot the sur
roueding country lbr the prompt manner in which
they responded to the call of their fellow-citizens
in Rogue River Valley.
The foregoing is all we can learn upon this sub
ject np to the present, and onr readers may rest
assured that we shall keep them “ poeted up” in
all cireurasUnoee attendant upon this outbreak,
which will prove disastrous to both the whites and
Indians, as it will tend to stop the trade of one
party, and will-stop the breath of many of those
engaged with the other.
P. B.—Sinoe the above was in type we learn that
the Indians have added to the aggressions by bru
tally mnrderiDg Jndge Skinner, Indian agent iu
that distriot.
The Portland Commercial, of the 25th, likewise
furnishes the foitowing items:
Gen. Palmer is about to explore that region of
country situated between Tiliamook and Kowis
rivers, and their adjacent valleys. The object
sought is to discover if the conn'ry is suitable as
a location for tha remaining Indian tribes in Ore
gou, with a view of removing them thither and let
them remain in quiet possession.
New flour has already made its appearance in
our market, and the reports lrom the crops
throughout the valley are very favorable, yot we
are inclined to think that notwithstanding tbe ad
vantages our farmers posses* for the cultivation of
monster crops, and the enormous price their pro

i'nc report had at the beginning of the month,
reached Mexico and Vera Cruz that hostilities had
broken out in the Mesilla Valley between the
tr jops of the United Stutes and the Mexican forces
under Gen Trias. Os eoor-e, no small excitement
wax the consequence. Intelligence about tbe same
time arrived that additional forces were being
po-ted on the Rio Grande by tbe United States, by
shiak, ofeour-e, the already awakened solicitude
was augmented. El Universal, and after it other
papers of lie city of Mexico, and subsequently
those of Vera Cruz, ontered warmly into tho con
ideration of the correctness of the report* and
also of the measures to be pursued in the event of
their being confirmed. Generally, by the well in
formed, the intelligence appears to have been at
"nee doubted ; but Ei Universal having given it on
he authority of a correspondent, whose credibility
it emphatically cudor.-ed, it could well bo pro
nounced, withoutdirect information from Mesilla,
contrary- to fsets. Fears were expressed that lien.
Trias, w ith the small force ut his command, might
have been sacrificed, iu u vain defonco of his coun
try, which his patriotism, it was said, would be
sure to induce him to make at hazards. The
(otter which conveyed the information to this
effect, likewise stated that there wu- some 10,000
United States troops in Texas tho object of which,
taken iu connection with tho report from Mesilla,
could only reasonably be presumed to be a new in
vasion of Mexico. The Eco del Comoroio, how
ever, reviewing very ably the whole of the cir
cumstances connected with tho affairs of the United
Stutes and Mexico, came to the conclusion that tho
reports were in the highest degree improbable.—
Tbe excitement nevertheless, was so serious that
the Mupremo Government thought proper to call
on Mr. Gadsden, the United States Minister at
Mexico, for explanations, and the immediate con
sequence was the setting at coso all the present
fears of our neighbors. Tbe Diario Official, of the
Bth,says:
“Wo have the satisfaction of being able to eive
assurance that at tho War Office Communications
have beon received from Gen. Trias, which reach
down to the 19th of last month ; that is to say, two
days later than tho date of the letter Irom Muta
uioras, [relied on by the El Universal,] and that
from them it is known thut up to their date no
difficulty had occurred at Mesilla.’’
“lie hud, indeed, bis fours in coiisequoncc of the
increase of American troops in Nuw Mexico, and
the arrival of Gen. Garland in command; but we
have pleasure In announcing that the Supreme Go
vernment, so attentive to all that relates to the se
curity aud independence of tho nation, immediate
ly domuiido i explanations from tbe Minißtor of the
United >-Lulus, and that he gavo iu the name of his
Government, tho most positive assurances that the
approach of theso troop*, n.uch fewer in number
than had been represented in the letter from Mata
morus, involved no hostile view, and that friend
ship and hurniomous feeling between the two
countries would bo preserved with tho greatest
care.”
The resolution with which Santa Anna would
maintain the lights of tho nation, and at tho sumo
time would avoid giving all cause of offence, was
referred to as well as assured, and tho Mexican
pooplo wore called on to rely on his vigilance.—
l’l.e Universal immediately copied tho correction
of tho Diario Official, and explained that it had
boon misled.
Tho Eoo del Cummorcio, of Vera Cruz, devotes
several articles to the consideration of the instruc
tion said to have been given by Mr. Gadsden, and
considers that unless it be lolly understood that
the attempt to carry them out is to be made only
pacifically, there may be some danger of hostili
ties between the two countries. Our cotcmporary
says:
“Wo already intimated iu our editorial of the
day before yesterday that if the good result of the
mission which the American Minister proposes to
effect at this Government is to iufiucuce the har
mony and concord of the relations which exist be
tween Mexico and the Republic of the North, wo
soe thutit is very possible these relations may alter,
because the projected proposition can by no means
bo mado agreeable to Mexico.
“In the first place, the concession of u strip of
our territory at the 32d degree of latitude, for the
purpose of constructing for tho United States a
railroad to put them in couimunicotion with their
possessions iu California, presents inconvcuionccs
of such a nature that tho imaginary advantages of
whioli the use and profit of tho road would be in
common to both countries, neither offer nor can
oiler an adci[tiuto compensation to the prejudicial
effects which Mexico would sustain, even without
referring to the question of many accessory com
plications, but supposing the proposition limited
to tho concession oftho land.”
The Eco tlion proceeds to grant that under the
faithful administration of the affairs of tho road,
tho Government ol Mexico, in common with that
of the United States, would enjoy tho advantages
of conducting troops, correspondence, bnggage,
provisions, and anything else required for the pub
lic service, at half usual rates as well as other ad
vantages. But, on the other hand, it contends :
“With tho cession of the land for the railroad
the Government would not secure advantages tor
Mexicans. Our relations with tho Northern Re
public by land are reduced to nothing, and it can
not bo otherwise when Moxioo wants interior
roads by which to convey, at little cost and witli
speed, tho products of the UnitodStates consumed
in our country.”
Ana it proceeds to argue that as at present,
neither byway of Matamoras norlhrongh El Paso,
foreign imports are introduced into Moxioo, for
the reason just assigned, so they would not bo in
troduced by the rail way, but still by Vera Cruz
und Tampico.
Surely here is a cause lor deep reflection on the
narrowness of the scope with which such a vast
undertaking as tho Pacific railway is regarded, in
tho very country of all others whose salvation de
ponds on tho powor of its inhabitants to appre
ciate and prosecute corresponding and subsidiary
undertakings. But we have not time now to pur
sue it.
Tbe Eco also goes on to say that for the Mexican
Government, to consent that such a people as tho
Americans should traverse its most thinly popula
ted and undefended frontier, would bo tantamount
to consenting to the loss of the nationality of tho
poople. That is a fear that may as readily be ex
ou-od, as it may bo removed by appropriate pro
visions.
After this the Eco overthrows its own objections
us to tho possibility of introducing imports into
Mexico by the railway by admitting that with all the
difficulties and exponses, smugglers would do it
to such au extent as to keep tbe treasury empty.
The Eco pursues these and leas important ob
jections through sever. 1 numbers, and finally
leaves the subject unconcluded in the latest which
has roaohed us.

The “ Hard ” Ratification. —The ratification
meeting of the Hunkers or Hards, held at tho Park,

place, there was many moro persons in attendance;
next there were far more enthusiasm; finally se
veral of the ‘big guns’ who were advertised did ac
tually appear and spoak—Daniel S. Dickinson,
Cbarlos O’Connor, Geo. W. Clinton, James T.
Brady and Lieut. Gov. Willard, of Ind., among
them. Tbe two meetings contrasted would seem
to indicate that the rival factions stand very nearly
as they did in 1848 ” Tho speeches were remark
able, tlio Times says, for tlieir intense bitterness
toward the other wing of the party, and for the de
termination that pervaded them never hereafter to

Dickinson was greeted with the most intense en
thusiasm, and his speech, which was devoted to a
rehearsel of the treachery and hypocrisy of the
Barnburners, was applauded from its opening to it

Tin TrUow Fever w< (he Howard Anortatlon-
We are indebted to oor friend, Mr. J. 0. Earn.*,
ot New Orleans, an indefatigable member of tbe
Howard AeeoctaUon of that oily, for tbe following
interacting narrative. It will be read witb deep in
terect, inasmuch a* it snpplies the most succint
and accurate information on the subject that has
yet been given to the public:—
At your suggestion, and with tbe view of an
swering the many end very natural inquiries of
Now Orleans friends and others, whose sympathies
have been warmly excited in behalf of the snffsr
mg city, I proceed to give such facts and details in
regard to the epidemic that baa scourged us, and
more particularly the imsition and acta of the How
ard Association, of which I have the honor of be
ing a member, in connection therewith. I must be
concise, for were I to go into the subject at length,
my article would be too long for the columns of a
newspaper.
In the early part of June, (I cannot pretend to
entire correctness in date) a vessel arrived from
Rio, with a cargo of coffee, having lost several per
sons on her voyage by yellow fever, and landing in
the Fourth District, (late Lafayette,) several then
suffering from it. At about the same time a vessel
from one ot the West India islands landed several
of her crew in the Third District, also sick with
the fever. To those unacquainted with the geogra
phy of the city, it is necessary to say that these tyro
districts are at its extreme points, and these ves
sels were probably three miles apart. From those
points the fever gradually spread. Oor city was
never better prepared for its extention, if long
neglected and filthy streets, as well as yards and
tenements, contributed to it. The introduction of
the disease was like the application of a lighted
match to a pile of combustible materials.
I do not believe that yellow fever is oentagious,
but I do believe in Its infections influence. To ex
plain. If a person, whose system is prepared by
the surrounding influenoes for the reception 01
disease of any kind, exposes himself in a sick room,
where there are yellow fever or cholera patients, he
is very apt to imbibe the disease from infection.
So with cities. But to return to my subject. Slowly,
but surely and fatally, tbe fever marched toward
the centre of tbe city, travelling North from the
4th district, and South trom the 2d, and it waa se
vera' week* before the two divisions met, and
united their force on Canal street. Then it was
that the number of deaths in one day reached 315
—238 of which were by yellow fever. No one, not
a witness of the scene, can form any conception of
the gloom that pervaded the city. Tbe most fri
volous, reckless acclimated person in the whole
community, on that day, waa despondent. It is one
long to be remembered by some of us.
As to the character of the fever this year com
pared with that of former years, I have a word to
say. Since 1828 1 have passed through many epi
demics, and in each a change in its phase was per
ceptible, though comparatively slight. In this, I
think, the whole medical faculty wiil concur with
me. The one of 1858, however, has been of a
widely different character from any of previous
years. More insidious in its attack, more malig
nant and fatal, and almost every symptom varying
from those before recognized. It is to its quiet
and unsuspecting manner of approach that its
fatility in the main is to be attributed. No warn
ing was given. The poor and ignorant, the class
to whom our members confine their care, would
suppose they bad taken a slight cold, and not send
for aid until perhaps the fever had taken such a
bold ot them as to make it almost impossible to
combat it. Hence it is that thia class have most
suffered.
1 have no space or time to relate minutely all
the symptoms, treatment, &c., but if any of your
medical men, or others who have a desire to know
will call upon me at the Irving House, I will com
municate Ireely the result of my experience,
gathered daring the chsrgo of same 470 cases.
Suffice it to say under this head, that the less medi
cal treatment and tbe more nursing, the more cu
rative has been the treatment. As to the extent of
tbo epidemic. I estimate that up to this date, there
have been 88,000 cases, of which 9,000 have died.
There are pr uably in the city 8,000, who, like
myßelf, have never had the fever, that_will escape
it, unless strangers flock in to feed it. Noone oat of
New Orleans, however latitudiuarian bis imagina
tion may be, can comprehend the extent of suffer
ing, misery, sickness and death that the members
of the Howard Association have encountered in
the discharge of their duty. We were all, when
visiting '.ho sick und starving, in their dens and
hovels -ocated in back yards und other oat of the
way places, only accessible perhaps by wading
through wuicr, mud und filth, remiuded of the old
saying, Ono half the world does not know how
the other half lives.”
The opinion seems to have obtained currency at
tho North, even with the (acuity, that persons may
have yellow fever twice ; and I have boen asked by
onr citizens of New Orleans if many have not ibis
year had it a second time. To this I answer most
emphatically, No. I have metthosewho mostcon
scientionsly believed they had been twice attacked,
baton investigation it would be tonnd that they
had once been deceived by the error, ignorance or
cnpidity of their physician. By error I mean, that
the best and most experienced (physicians are
sometimes deceived, particularly in years when
we have no epidemic, but what they term sporad
ic cases. Ignoranoe often leads physcians who
locate in our city, intervening years between epi
demics, and who have never seen yellow lever,
to pronounce a case to be so, because it resembles
those laid down in the books. Experience teaches
that all publio theories on the subject are almost
valueless, and that one good nurse, acquainted
with the disease, is worth more than all the book
doctors in chrietondora, I have üßed the word cupi
dity. No trade or profession is free from those who
prey upon others. Unprincipled men and quacks
creep into even the medioal profession. These
pronounce a bilious, typhoid, or even congestive
fever, to bo yellow fever, because thereby they
can got a double or treble fee. I can cite more
than fifty cases in proof of my position on this
point—one in my own family. Let no one, who
has friends in New Orleans, who have once had
the fever, feel the least apprehension for their
safety.
As to the probable continuance of the fever, if
no strangers or uuacclimated persons enter the
city, no new cases will occur, as its three months
01 'continuance now expire, and the old theory
that a frost was ncoessary to its exclusion, is en
tirely exploded. In 1847, the fever was extinct a
month before frost. Bio, Vera Cruz and the West
India Islands never have frost, and yet the fever
always expires in threo mouths after its inception.
Let not, however, the unacclimated return under
the belief that they will be sufe, as they will but
be fuel for the embers of a subdued or nearly ex
hausted tire. Evon should reports show for a week
no deuths by fever, there would be danger in re
turning.
1 feur material sufficient to keep alive theepide
mic has already gone forward, as I met severul
boats on tho Mississippi and Ohio rivers bound
down loaded with passengers. At Memphis, 1
found abeut fifty mechanios on a boat goiDg to New
Orleans. The prospect of high wages induced
them to sacrifice good situations.
Os what material is this world of ours composed i
These men, under the influence of avarice,betray
feelings of humanity, and perhaps I might add,
symptoms of iusanity. Inhumanity, becausethey,
by feeding the epidemic, endanger the lives ot
those who have thus far escaped, and insanity,
bocause none but a fool, an idiot, or a maniac,
would go to New Orleans now.
As our boat lay along side theirs, several came
on board to make inquiries respecting tho health
of the city, wages, <fco. I endeavored to dissuade
them from going, and as a winding up argumeut
advised them to take thoir coffins with them, as
they would be needed, and the article was very
scaroe and difficult to be obtained in'the city of
their destination. I could but reflect, how many
of those poor fellows will be thrown upon the
Howard Association.
Some desire has been felt bv the publio to know
more than has been published respecting the
Howard Association.
It is a body composed of thirty members, char
tered by the state, and, if I mistake not, is the only
one that has a perpetual charter. It has been in
existence under its present name fbr sixteen years,
though many of its members had served for years
boforein the “ Samaritan Society." Ourcharter re
quires that wo devote our time to the indigent sick
whenever the Board of health declares the ex
istence of an epidemic in the oity. We have no
funds from the state but are entirely dependent
upon the liberality of our citizens and others for
the means of carrying out our object. This year,
the City Council neglected to elect a Board of
Health, which it was their duty to do at their first
meeting in May. We, however, took the respon
sibility of organizing for duty on the 27th of June,
considering that the fever had then reached a
point that proved it to be an epidemic. The next
week a board of health was elected, a majority of
whom were taken from our members.
was fortunate, as the two bodies conse
quently acted iu perfect harmony, and co-opera
ted in all undertakings of a charitable and be
nevolent character though their respective duties
are distinct. The powers of the Board ot Health
are sanatory, those of the Howard Association
confined to benevolent services to the sick and
their families.
The rules adopted by the Howard Association
for their government are very rigid, and by some
may be thought arbitrary; but experience has
taught us that, to be sufficient, our discipline mubt
be strict.
Members neglecting their duty are immediately
stricken from the list, and others elected in their
stead. This has occurred in but one instance this
year. We have what we call rolief meetings every
evening at 6 o’clock, and one meeting a week for
the transaction of business. Every member is re
quired to hand in weekly a list to the secret ry, for
record, of all his cases, their residence, birth
place, attending physician, and whether discharged
under treatment, or dead. No member is permit
ted to give money, but carries with him a supply
ot meat, ice, and grocery tickets for distribution; al
so tickets cf admission into hositals, asylum?, and
orders for such other necessaries as may bo re
quired, such as mattrasses, musquito bare, <fcc.
Each member has the power of appointing one
or more assistants, to be confirmed, however, by
the Association. The member is held responsible
for the acts of his appointee, and no assistant can
distribute tickets except they are eudoreed by the
member appointing him. Great care is necessary to
avoid imposition. We expect to be cheated one
case in ten, but go upon the principle that the oth
er nine should not Buffej in consequence.
Our financial affairs are reduced to almost a per
fect system, for which we are mainly indebted to
our worthy secretary, D. I. Ricardo, and our trea
surer, G. Kurcheedt. Sufficient guards and checks
are placed upon expenditures, to prevent over
charges and imposition.
To give some idea of the extent of the business
operations of the Howard Association, I may men
tion that the secretary has two clerks constantly
employed in recording the names of the sick, ap
plications of nurses for situations, &c.; and tbe
treasurer’s office, where three clerks are employed
in examining and paying bills, ia crowded from 9
A. M. to 8 P. M.
I should like to go more into detail on this sub
ject, but have already been too prolix. I estimate
the number taken in charge by the Howard Asso
ciation, np to this date, at about 10,000, at a cost of
sl4 to 815 each. Os this number probably 2000
have died. In all my estimates I only include the
city proper.
We have five infirmaries for the reception of the
sick, each provided with two physicians, all re
quisite nurses, &e., and placed nnder tbe snper
vision of a committee of two members of the As
sociation.jWe have two “coconvaiescenthospitals,”
where those recovering are sent, andaie nursed
and fed until qnite able to resume their ordinary
work. We have three orphan asylums for the
surviving children of those who have died, in
which asylums wet nurses and others are ri-” '
employed. Os the 10,000, Ido
have sent more than o '“' *ri.v
hospitals, th* suppose we
»>--• _uuo, possibly 2500, to the
uiners being taken care of by ue at
-uetr residences.
Outside of tbe city the mortality has been great.
At Carrollton, Jefferson city, Gretna, McDonough
ville and A ere, all of which are contiguous, and
all ot w. is receiving aid from the Howard
Assoq .1. fistress baa been great. In addi
tion, si ett New Orleans, which was on the
Blk in- . rubers, with physic ans and nurses,
have e -dll to some dozen places over the lake,
Mobil . coast and intenor towns, where the fe
ver on never before known, but where it is now
raging with great virulence.
the question has been esked me, somewhat
,y surprise, whether members are paid for
i ti services, I wish it distinctly understood, that
s their services are given gratuitously, and there
is not a member whose pocket haa not suffered
more or less at various times, by giving from a
dime to fifty cents to purchase such little necessa
ries as could not be procured on tickets.
A tew days before leaving, I telegraphed to onr
several collecting committees to ask for no farther
donations, as we should have plenty of funds. I
now regret having done 80, as the aid sent ont of
the city at the expense of the Aasjeiation, most
necessarily incur a large additional expenditure,
not then anticipated.
Were it not essaming a prerogative that belongs
to the Howard Association collectively, I should
ask to return tho gratetnl thanks of our body to
the liberal doners, North, Booth, East and West,
for their contributions. W ithont aid from abroad, we
coaid not bsve gone on, bat should have been com
pelled to cease our labors when funds ware exhaus
ted. Tbe individual members on one occasion
were sued, their treasury being exhausted. They
will lifft *g»i w be canght In tt> » n m t pwiltunin
' Several cf our liberal ei'iatna, however, stepped
forward and pai i the debt.
Wneti the epidemic ceases, the Association will
publish * complete list of all the cases under their
cbaige, the number of deaths, with their names,
: nativity, <fee.t they will also exhibit a balance
i sheet, which will embrace the amounts received,
I and where from, the names of all tbe donors and
amount of their respective contributions, and the
: entire details of expenditures. Much s course is
! not required by our by-laws, but it is due to our
! d s’ant friends, who have contributed so freely,
i that they be made acquainted with the manner tn
which the r money has been expended. A copy
of this report will be forwarded to every contribu
tor.
There are many other matters in oouuectiou with
this subject which I should like to touch upon, bi t
were l to 9ay all that my memory supplies, you
would have no room in your paper for other and
more valuable matter. Respectfully, yours,

ment of the year, to four percent., at which it now
stand-. The expectation, however, is that the
nexi change will be Irom four to five per cent, at
one step.
Should this course be adopted, a higher point
will then have been reached than at any period
since the p.nicnf 1847. But there canoe no
doubt ol in* necessity, and the desire of all the
leading merchants is to see it resorted to at once.
The i ffl ix ot bullion lust week was nearly half a
million sterling, and it lias since been going on
nearly gl the same rale.
The cause for the wish on the part of the sound
est commercial lions, s, that no hesitation should
be shown by the Bank in meetiug this state of af
fairs, is the knowledge that it has been created by
tbe mania for shipments to Australia, and not by
any thing wrong in the ordinary current of mer
cantile operations. It is seen i hat an unpreoedent
edly healthy course of general trade, which might
have continued for years, has been altogether dis
turbed by a torrent of speculative consignments to
oue quarter—and that, too, the most distant on
the globe, where the population, whatever may be
its prosperity, is still scauty, and where, in the case
of a glut, the alternative of getting to other mar
kets is presented only in the smallest dogree. Any
measure, however sevcie, that may cheek such
madness, will, therefore, be we'comed by nil steady
business men, and that nolhiugbu' an 'uncontrol
able pressure will operate toward the desired cud
is every day becoming more apparent.
Last week in the taco of the warnings already
given, the number of vessels despatched from the
port of London for Australia was greater than on
any former occasion. Their total was fifteen, with
an aggregate capacity of in,ooo tons, all of which
were engaged at the most extravagant rates of
freight. At Liverpool the same eagerness is ob
servable, and there, also, freights are higher than
ever, every available ship being immediately se
cured. The other less important ports are like
wise participating in the folly according to their
degreo, and thus a spoetae'e of unreasoning ex
citement is presented throughout the whole nation,
such as has rarely been paralleled. It must be
also borne in mind that many of the continental
countries are likewise making direct consignments
to Sydney and Melbourne, not only of various
kinds of produce, but also of manufactured goods
to a very lar. e extent. Germany is sending ship
loads of boots and shoes, and France, brandy,
wines, silks, &c.
Coupled with this, the equally wide speculation
iu China still continues to give an additional im
pulse to the drain ol specie, and further heavy
quantities of silver are expected to be despatched
by the next overland mail, although the demand
for that purpose during the lost day or two has
rather subsided.
The only circumstance likely to induce the
Bunk of England to postpone tho anticipated rise
are the arrival of about £350,000 in gold from
Australia, which has taken place within these two
days, aud the continuance of moderately favorable
weather lor the harvest. Those, however, who are
mostsensibleof the peculiarities ol the period would
be sorry if the atep should be even temporarily de
layed on these grounds. Tho conviction is that if
the rate were at once raised to 5 per ceut., a steady
recovery in the money market would bo the result
from that time ; while it is feured that in the ab
sence of a less stringent method a considerable in
terval of uncertainty may yet occur before a
healthful position can be regained.
In political affairs there is nothing new. The
probable consequences of the refusal ofTurkey to
accept without modification the conditions pro
posed by the allied powers are still a subject of con
stant discussion, and they have added to the de
pression in the money market by other causes.—
Thero is a feeling, however, that although the
chances of war are increased, the danger of En
gland or France becoming involved, is actually di
minished. It is probable that Turkey and Hungary
might combine and mako a good stand against
Kussia, while Austria would find herself threatened
in Lombardy; but in a conflict of this kind England
would look on as a neutral power. Sho has given
her advice to the Sultan, and if he prefers not to act
upon it he can of course, take his own way.
The English funds have experienced a heavy
fall since the last dutes. Consols were then at 96%
and to-day they have touched 95%. The final
quotation, however,shows a slight i ccovery, owing
to the anticipations regarding the intentions of
tile B nk of England having become less decided.
They have closed at 96. Spectator.
France. —From Paris we learn that the Emperor
had returned to the capital, aud was present at a
Cabinet Couucil held at Bt. Cloud on the 11th inst.
In con-eqnence of the financial mea-ures of the
Government the French funds had aguin declined.
The Moniteur publishes another denial of the
statement that large quantities of corn had been
purchased by tha French Government. The pur
chases o I 419,000 hectolitres made about six weeks
since, in England, for the army and navy, is the
only fact of the kind, says the Moniteur, which
can have furnished a pretence for such allegations.
Bey rnd this purchase, which was made for the ex
press purpose of not influencing the home market,
the Government have never thought of meddling
directly or indirectly, with any operation in the
grain market.
Russia and Tobkev.—An answertotho offet that
the Russian Czir lefused to sign the modified note
had been despatched from St. Petersburg to Vien
na on the 7th inst. It was not certain whether the
rejection was puro and simple, or whether, says
the London Times, reasons for die rejection were
slated wit ch would necessarily load to further ne
gotiations.—War between Russia and the Porte
was now considered inevitable.
Telcgrapbio accounts fiom Constantinople to the
29th of August, state that tho Turks were waiting
impatiently for u manifest from tho Sultan, ex
plaining the position of Turkey with respect to tho
other powers.
It was again stated that Lord Stratford de Red
cliffe bad sent iti his resignation as Ambassador to
tho British Government.
The cholera wa-> making havoc in Bessarabia.
The Cronstadt Zietungh 'S advices of the 80th
of August from the Lower D nube. After inform
ing us that the Turkish army is “mad for war,”
the correspondent says: “If it should come to
blows, the campaign could not last long. The
Russians moved slowly, hnl surety, and even they
who are hostile to them do not doubt that their ad
vance to Constantinople would be little more than
a parade march.
M. Nogues, editor of tho Journal de Constanti
nople, has received a hint from tho Turkish Go
vernment that if he writes any more violent arti
cles against Russia ills paper will be stopped.
It is estimated that the armaments of the Porto
up to tlie middle of August must bavo cost 120,
000,000 piastres.
The greatest disorder is said to prevail at Da
mascus. Some fanatical Mahomedan bad ill used
the French and Russian Consuls. Tho former got
satisfaction, but the latter none. Tho authorities
are so feeble that few persons venture to ride out
in the environs of the city, lu Aleppo where
there is an energetic Governor, things are better.
Two ‘primates,’ who attempted to create distur
bances, were sent offto Constantinople. The en
virons of Jerusalem are insecure, and no one can
venture to travel on the Jaffa road without an
escort.
From Australia. —Advices from Adelaide,
South Australia, to the Ist of June, describes
constant advance in the value of land. The town
lots sold as fast as they could be offered. Average
price of £lls per acre.
Advices from Pesth, Western Australia, to the
Bth of June, contain satisfactory accounts of the
progress of the colony. Public meetings had late
ly been held, at which the desire of the inhabi
tants to continue to receive convicts from
England was strongly and unanimously expressed.
The number of convicts in the colony at present
was about 2,050, and it seemed to be the general
wish that fresh arrivals should take place 1o the
extent of 1,000 a year. It appears thnt a less
severe system has been enforced for thoir treat
ment than that which has prevailed in the other
colon'es, and the result is alleged to have been so
favorable as to render offences, especially those of
a violent character, extremely rare.
Austria. —The lost jewels of Hungary affirmed
by the Austrian Government to have been stolen
by Kossuth and his ministry, advices from Vienna
state, had been discovered near Orschova, buried
under the ground. The jewels comprise the Hun
garian crown and insignia and the cloak of St.
Stephen. The latter was almost destroyed by
damp.
News by the America.
The Collins mail steamer Baltic, Capt. Comstock,
arrived at Liverpool on the evening of the 14th.
She was off Holyhead at half past ten in the

Liverpool, and on the 28th saw a large steamer
showing American colors, bound East.
On the absorbing question of the Eastern dis
pute the intelligence by the America is little more
than a confirmation of that received by the Wash
ington. Another version of the telegraphic des
patch, referred to yesterday, is given, which in
stead of being “more warlike” is, in our judg
ment, jo-t the reverse. The present version is
that the Emperor of Russia, while rejecting the
Turkish modifications, “abides by the Vienna
note, and promises to evacuate the Principalities,
if the Porte accepts it, pure and Bimple.” Suppo
sing this to be the more correct version, it is mo
ra 5' certain that the Sultan will be required to
accept the terms. The Czar's assurance of bis
readiness to evacuate the Danuhian Principalities
being then carried into effect, wha r becomes of the
repealed assertions to the country, both in the
English and oar own journals 1

Omar Pasha wrote to Prince Gortchakoff, notify
ing that if the Russian gun boats approached too
near the Turkish batteries, th y would be tired up

Until recently the Turkish operations all seemed
directed toward Grengrove, to prevent the Bus

fortified the line of the Balkan between Shnmla
and Tornova.
Gen. Dhneberg’s corps had established its gen
eral quarters at Crsjeva, and the operations in
crossing the Danabe will be by Weddison a* d
Sephia. The Turks will of course fortify tin
passes, as they have the lines of Shurnia und
Tsruova; in which esse it is thought that lie
Russians will ascend the river, and cross iu berviu.
The chief dragoman of the Russian Embassy bad
arrived at Constantinople from Odessa, attend-d
by several steamers. The arrival had caused u
sensation, but it relates to the affairs of the Com
mercial Chaovelleaire.
It is said that tbe French Ambassador urgentlv
attempted to persuade the Porte to recall the modi

The Russian party in Constantinople proposed
changes in the Turkish Ministry. Rica Pasha, ex
Minister of War, to supercede Mehemed Ab,
Russia’s bitter antagonist.

In Great Britain the weather was broken.
France. —A courier had arrived in Paris, bring
ing tho decision come to the day before, by the
four Ministers, viz: Lord Aberdeen, John Russel!,
Clarendon und Palmerston ; another courier took
his departure for Marseilles, with orders to em
bark there at once, bearing a despatch for Lord
Stratford do Redcliffe, which it is said in a well
informed quarter, enjoins him to employ every
possible means to induce the Sultan to except,

bidding Austrian operatives to visit Switzerland.
The Federal Budget lor 1854, shows a surplus of
600,000 francs over the estimated expenditure ol
thirteen millions.
Germany. —The London Times correspondent
says that the German papers almost universally as
Bert that the United States are backing Switzerland
in her opposition to Austria, and promise her ae
tive assistance. The recentappointmcntofaU.S.
Ministei to Berne, the self-confidence in the Tici
no difficulty, and the boldness of the Americans in
the Koszta affair, are tho grounds. The Bund
thinks tho report improbable and says there is a
more probable belief throughout Germany that the
cabinet of Vienna is endeavoring, in connection
with the grievance in the Koszta affair, to induce
the governments of Europe to demand from the
United States Government a declaration of its
views on the subject of intervention in European
politics, on the laws of nations in general and on
the subject of citizenship in particular. The latter
gives rise to continued remonstrances, especially
in Germany, where emigrants returned from the
United States are claimed.
Austria. —The Austrian Consul General at
Smyrna had been decorated.

The Latest News.
Tho following intelligence, embracing the very
latest news, was telegraphed from London to Liv

The Cotton Crop in Mississippi.— The following
letter from an intelligent planter in Missisßippi, to
his merchant in New Orleans, gives rather a
gloomy picture of the cotton crop in our sister
State. The writer is a gentleman on whose state
ments the utmost reliance may be placed:
Palatine, Sept. Is, 1858.—When I last wrote
you, I gave you a very flattering account of the
growing crop, but, since then, a very material
change has taken place in my evop, and 1 believe
it is a general complaint throughout this section of
tbe country—bow mqsh further, lam unable to
say. We are one month behind last season in
picking, and, as yet, have not bad full picking.
All of the first crop of bolls have rotted, caused
by some insect, some say it is a small worm; bnt
as far as I have ascertained tbe oanse, I flud it to
be a small bug in tbe shape of a June bo<* -

S 1 am sore there will not be more than ha,r a
made; and a late frost will be deprecated on
account of the epidemic which prevails in your
*Uy and Natchez, and, in fact, all the towns on
thg,southwest seaboard.
The Secretary of tbe Treasury is succeeding ad
mirably in calling in the United States stocks re
deemable in 1868, which are owned in England
and Other foreign coontries. One batch, amount
ing to SIOO,OOO, arrived at the Treasury on Thurs
day from one holder in LiverpooL
The arrival of the Caroline Knight, at New York,
brings later intelligence from Puerto Csbello. The
revolutionary troop* of Venezuela had nearly all
submitted to the power of President Monagas,
giving the brothers a present triumph. It was be
lieved, however, that their government would not
exist long, although likely to be strengthened at
the Presidential election of next year. Trade was
very doll at Puerto Cabello.
A rumor is current in German circles in New
York that tbe Bank of Darmstadt, an institution of
high character, with a capital of $20,000,000, pro
poses to establish a branch in that city, with a ca
pital of $10,000,000, and there is reason, it is said,
to believe that tbe rumor is well founded.
Marshfield, Mass., where now repose tbe remains
of the illustrious statesman Daniel Webster, has
been during the past summer visited by not less
than 12,000 persons, and crowds still continue to
throng the place.
The New York Herald proposes that the Gov
ernment shall employ Coin. Vanderbilt’s Steam
Yacht, the North Star, to send ou a minister to

<)Hto Railroads. —A correspondent of the New
York Daily Times furnishes some interesting in
formation in relation to tho Ohio railroads. In cou
sequence of its geographies! position, and without
any prccouceivod plan, the great mass of these
works have assumed the form of a system. As the
great land gateway through the Central West, Ohio
will necessarily have most of its railways running
East and West, connecting the cities of the Atlan
tic with the Mississippi. As occupying tho spuee
between Lake Erio and the Ohio liiver, tho next
object is to oonnoct those-water courses. Accord
ingly, it is found that, between tho eastern and
western borders of the State, thero are no less than
nine through lines made, or being tnado; while be
tween Lake Erie and Ohio River are six through
lines. Thero aro various other linos to connect in
termediate points, and to answer special objocts.
Os the eighty-four counties in the State, sixty-four
—if the present plans are all carriod out—will have
railroads through their county seats. Tho fifteen
general lines are carried on by thirty incorporated
companies, whose aggregate expenditure will in
tho end amount to anont seventy-five millions of
dollars.— Balt. Amer.
Tins European Protest.—The Sow York Ex
press reiterates its statement that England and
France had joined in the protest against Captain
Ingraham’s conduct in the Kosta affair. It says:
Our correspondent speaks on the very best uu
thority. Mr. Cramptou, the British Minister, wu»
the first to call on Mr. Marcy. Mr. Sartige had
his instructiens some lime since to call on the
Secretary of Stuto. These instructions were vorv
speoifle and pointed, but their delivery iu person
was delayed until Thursday, the 22d inst, owing
to the absence of tho French Minister at New
port, until Wednesday evening, when ho retain
ed to the Capitol.
The Government knew that these instructions
were to come from France, and had been so in
formed specifically some time since. The Remon
strance is in terms that Captain Ingraham’s con
duct was a violation of the Law of Nations.
Mr. Maroy has had his reply ready for some
time, but it lias had to undergo some modifica
tions. You may expect it at almost any moment.
Austria, ho says, having appealed to the world to
justify its conduct, tne United States will also
make an appeal to tho world, in behalf of Capt.
Ingraham’s conduct, in saving Koszta.
It sonld seem, Ihereloie, that each of the flvo
European powers had concluded to take ground
against tho United States in regard to Ko.-zta.
But wo apprehend no real collision of arms from
thiß paper warfare. The United States hold to
oneset of principles and will maintain them, and
the powers of Europe to quite another set, and
we suppose will maintain them also.
The Crop. —We extract the following from a
letter received yesterday. The writer has been
travelling through tho district for tho past three
mouths: “Crops are very sorry in Oktibbeha,
Lowndes, Chickasaw, Monroe, Choctaw and Win
ston counties. Half a crop is all that can bo made,
the worm and rain together have knocked it up all
through those districts.”— Mobile Ado. 30 th.
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad.— At
a meeting of the Board of Directors of the East
Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Company on
Wednesday last, Thomas B. Callaway, Esq., re
signed tho office of President, and Maj. Campbell
Wal’ace, of this city, was unanimously elected to
succeed him. 'i’ho Company aro certainly under
many obligations to Mr- Callaway, for the invalua
ble services he has rendered them through the
many difficulties with which the construction of
the road thus far has been encumbered, and for
which he certainly should have received a much
more liberal compensation than has seen given
him.
So far as the new Preuroent is concerned, wo
know that be liaathe capacity, the intelligence and
the energy necessary to enable him to do, as we
have no doubt he will, all that is desired by the
impatient public, in the way of expeditin''the com
pletion of the road. So that we think tho stock
holders und tho public at large may congratulate
themselves upon having so efficient a gentleman tQ
succeed Mr, Callaway.— Knoxville

Weekly Report Tnesdey, P.M.
COTTON.—Dp to the period of the receipt of the Euro
pean advices by the steamers Washington and America
there was a good demand fur the better grades, and our
last week's quotations were hilly sustained, while the lower
grad a con t nue<l depre sed and entirely neglected.
Since then tha markst has been at a stand, as holders were
not rlispoetd to submit to a decline, which buyers demand
ed, to induce them to enter the market—for the last three
days, therefore, there has been little or nothing doing. We
continue oar quotations ot last week, remarking that they
are merely nominal in the absence of operations:
Inferior and Ordinary 7 @8 ) ...
Low Mid ding to Middling.... B#© 9# f uuu ‘
Good Middling @lO (active do-
Midd.iog Fair— @ U'JK j mand.
The receipts for the season are unusually light, and most
of them are stored, as parties seem unwilling to accept the
offers of buyers.
THE CROP.—The week just closed has been fkvorable
both for gathering and the maturing ol the growing crop,
having been dry with cool nights and warm days. The
complaints, however, continue very general, of the dis
astrous effects of the rains in August and September.
GROCERIES.—Tae tr .nsactions in the Qrocery market
have been very 'air fir the reason. The stocks have been
much increased within the past two weeks and are now
very complete in every department. Coffee, notwithstsnd
iag the slight decline in Northern markets, remains firm
at our quotations. The supply is not latge. Tbe stock of
Sugars is very ample, and holders are look! rg for h gher
prices, though we note no change. Salt is held very firm
and as the stock is sna'l, holders anticipate a further ad
vance. The supply of Molasses is abundant and the cur
rent rates correspond with our quotations.
PROVISIONS.—The demand fora choice article of Ba
con continues good, and prices are very firm. Good Hans
are scarce and high. Sec quotations, which afford a fair
in ex of the market. In Flour we note no change, though
holders are very firm in their asking rates.
GRAIN.—Tne transactions in (bm are confined princi
pally to the demand for City consumption, and our quota
tions are barely sustained. A large lot would not command
over 65 cents. The demand for wheat continues goidat
our quotations.
BAGGING AND ROPE are in fair demand at our quo
tations. -
BEEP AND HOGS.—Grass Fed Beef is worth 4Vc., and
Stalled s@sVo. Shouts of 50@75 lbs. command 6@6jtfc.
lb. No demand Ibr large Hogs. There are no Sheep in
tlie market. There is a good demand for all.
EXCHANGE.—The rate for Checks on the North is# $
cent. prem.
FREIGHTS.—The river Is lower than for some weeks,
though still navigable. The rates of Freight havo under
gone no change.

OBITUARY.
Died in Warrenton, Warren county, G».,od the morn
ing of the 17th Inst., THOMAS RICHARD, infant son of
Daniel B. and Sarah hi. T, Pilcher, aged one year two
mouths and nin i davs.
Then sleep on darling Infant, Bleep,
And may the willow o’er thee weep,
Till God on high shall bid thee rise
In triumph to aecend the shies.
and Christian Index please oopy.
Died In Mobile, of Yellow Fever, on the 28th of August.
WM. II FLEMING, in the 48th year of his age,
Mr. Fleming was t native of L ncolu county, In this
State, and brother to our esteemed fellow-citiaen of that
name. For a short time be resided in this city but re
moved to Mofoi e where he had formerly been engaged In
business, and had an exteusive acquaintance. Integrity,
industry, aiuubil.ty and piety, contributed to form in
him a character of no ordinary worth, and to give h m a
title to the respect and affection cf thoso who knew him.
In common with his venerable father, who still survives,
aud two brothers, one lately deceased, he was for years a
member and officer of the Pijabytcrian Oburch. “He
was a «rood man—fu lof tl*e Holy Ghost and of faith.” He
lived the iife and died the death of the righteous. And
his desolate widow, fatherless children, and mourning
friends, “ sorrow not even as others which have no hope.”
