UHitawwroL Attcmpt —The following, trans
lated from the last Fsria Conatitutlonnel, give* an
account of a recent attempt by a Russian prince to
aasasslnato the distinguished geaeral-in-chief of
the Torkinli armies:
“Frince Gortschskoff had resolved to remove
Omer I’aclia, and fir this purpose he or bis amis
ssricH had tried to poison that gallant general, who
has ulrca ly iloun so mueh towards the regenera
tion of Turkey. It appears that a European phy
sician, who arrived some months back at Constan
tinople, obtained, by dint of solicitation, the direc
tion of the military hospital at Hchumla. It seems
that Omer Fuchs soon perceived that this person
kept up mysterious relations with Russian spies,
and in consequence ho kept on his guard. Soon
after, being warned that there was an intention to
poison him, he feigned to be indisposod, and sent
for the modical man in question to attend him.—
This person, after examining the patient, went out
to preparo a calming potion, whicn, on hi* return,
he presented to Omor Facba to drink. The gene
ral-in-chief of the Turkish army requested the phy
sioisn to taste it first himself, and as the other le
fused to do so, ho f treed him to drink the whole
ofltinhis presence. Seeing that the physician
then wanted to hurry out, he forced him to romain
in the tent, in order that he might judge of thees
feet of tho notion. At the end of some hours the
physloian died from the poison.”
An Amxrkian Abboad. —The following extract
of a letter published in the Newark Daily Adver
tiser, is stated to be from an eminent American
statesman. It is dated Genoa, September 7,
1858:
Biuce spending forty most agreeable days in
London, wo have been constantly on the go. We
have rannnckod thoroughly Ireland, Scotland, Bel-
Sium, the Khiuo from Cologne to Bales, and
witzorland, more beautiful by far than either. In
all these countries wo found a state of public and
frivate prosperity whioh surprised us greatly—
reland excepted. Even there a great ohango is
boing brought about by harsh measures ; and the
Frotestant portion of it are is prosperous as the
other States to which I have referred. These are
the direct effects of a long peace and go fhr beyond
what wo at home havo any idoa of.
In England there is an obvious change in the
habits and disposition of tho peoplo, ana the so
tiou of tlie Government. Liberal principles and
fooling* are clearly asoendant, and the House of
Commons rules in fact everywhere. I cannot con
vey this idoa more oloarly or authoritatively to
you, than to repeat a remark of Lord H -’s (a
descendant ofa high Tory fam ly, whose father I
hoard make tho ablest apocch which was made
against the reform bill, and who is himself a man
ol maturo age, usd highly respectable talents,) at
tho breakfast table of Bir 11. J., himself an invete
rate lory of 1880, but now quite liberal in his feel
ings— too change, said Lora 11., that has already
taken place in the constitution and others which
aro inevitable, have made England virtually a re
public und it is to be regretted that every body is
not suUloiently impressed with this truth to induce
them to unito in efforts to preserve tho people, by
educating them lor tho safe enjoyment of righto
which they must inevitably possess. This Is. I have
no doubt a just description of their politioil condi
tion. «
The llueon and Frince Albert are discreet and
exceedingly wall-disposed people who are oonteut
to oat their cake in peace. In every branoh of the
government the groatest oaro is taken not to offer
any uuneoessary affront to that public opinion,
whioh, every one fools, governs the country, and
tho llonsoof Commons, oonsoloue of its power, Is
content to tolersto, and I doubt not in the absence
of tyranny and intolerable oppression by the Crowu
to sustain, the monaroby with its pageantry and
parade.

Thk Enperoii or Russia.—' The New York Mirror
chroniolos tho following story of the Emperor of
Russia:
“A friend of ours, who has just returned from
the East, was recently present at a review of 180,-
000 Russian troops by the Smperor, whom he de
scribes as s perfect specimen of the phyaioal man ;
in height six feet three, and admirably proportion
ed, with snow whiio hair and ruddy countenanoe.
He was plainly dressed In a dark green frock, with
a black ehapoau without feathers | and mounted on
a coal-black charger, of itmnenoe else, the Caar
looked ‘every inch a king.’
“As the troops were passing before him he aud
deuly rai*eJ his hand as a signs! for a halt, when
he dismounted, walked up to s private in tbo ranks,
and asked him to unbutton his ooit. On finding
that the soldier was without a shirt, the Emperor
promptly ordered the officers of the company to
Siberia,'aud the officers of tho regiment were in
stantly degraded to the rank of privates. Some
two hours afterwards Nioholaa made another In
spection of the oonditien of the soldiers; and find
ing ail right, promoted every officer in the division,
conferring the orders with his owu hand. It is
this kiud of discipline that makes tbs Russian ar
my nue ot the most efficient in the world, and the
head of it tho idol of t he common soldier."
The X. Y. Journal of Commeroe, of Wednesday, ,
contains the subjoined paragraph:
Cotton Bkokkr's Association. —We noticed on
Monday, an association under this title, and we
are glad to learn that at lof the regular ootton
brokers in this city have signed the articles of agree
ment and beootne’members of tho Board. This
Association will issuo daily huletins ot the sales,
and stale of the markot, and on Monday will give
authorized quotations or the current pr.ooa. They |
will form a Board of Arbitration to which all dis
pntee and questions in regard to any transactions
in cotton may be referred for settlement. This will
be found of great utility and convenience to those
residing out of the city, who may have difficulties
to be settled hero to which thev cannot give their
personal attention. The Board will keep standard
samptea of cotton, to which all Bales of given de
scription must conform. The members are liable
to a Sue for omitting to render to the Secretary
notice ot tho sales on the day they are made; and
such an omission, if extending to mors then one
day, will lead to expulsion from the Board. Under
thie system the Bales will bs classified and reported
with an aocuraey never before reached in this
market; while the trade will acquire increased dig
nity and relative importance.

• Mb. Borrow .—The reosnt Convention of Teach •
. era sad tbe prospect of another iu November, i eve
~ made the poblie interested in the subject of
schocb; and i have mad* some memoranda of
e subject* ou which to make »ome remarks. Imu
not at-setter, but dreumaUnora have turned my
; eusulion 10 the aufcje*, •»<* • prolonged eUy in
' vest-ms p ills of Georgia have given me opportune
t I tie* for observing the result* of our presrut »ys
' tom oi female education, which very few person*
t have had. Ths first itsm Is text books. The
' constant obsoges of books whiob so drain tbe par-
I see of parents, really make one fancy that Yankee
teachers moot be in leegne with Yankee publish
ers. The elementary books now used are eapecul
' ly unfitted for nee. A really good compand of kis-
Vory Is * thing yet to be seen. If uniformity could
ba see*red, so large editions would be required
that the books could be furnished very cheaply; but
even were a good edition prepared by competent
eatbority it might be, impracticable to bring it into
general use, except in few schools under Suteoon
tr«l. The Legislature might poraibly peas a law
prohibiting the collecting of school bills in such
schools, unless these books were used. In saying
a sat of text books ought to be prepared by South
erners, I would not be supposed to sanction tbe
notion of those, who are so intensely and ridicul
ously Southern as some ware, who prepered a
Southern apeakar which did not even admit
speeches by any but Southern men, end a very
poor affair it was too.
Tbe second item is female colleges. There has,pro
bably, been no subject on which more humbug baa
been uttered for the last 90 years than female edu
cation. In Georgia it baa, in an especial manner,
been onr put humbug; on* which bat to name was
to open the parse strings of ail liberal people.
Now, when a people have a pet hombag, woe be to
that luokleea individual who attempts to open
their eyes. In Georgia wa often hear the boest
that this is th* first but* in which colleges for wo
men were ever established. Vain glory, even
where the boast is trns, is rather ridiculous, aud
leads to a habit of mediuting on one’s own merit*,
wbieh la certainly not favorable to seeing or cor
recting fanlts. The first objection to them is to
Boarding Schools altogether. If education only
referred to what one learned of books, it might be
admitted that it could be obUiDed at a large
boarding school, perhaps, as well as elsewhere.
But it refers to character, manners, tastes, <fcc., aud
for ell these the frtfarioot system of large board
ing schools L exceedingly bad training. I can
speak with experience on this subject, for I was
partly educated at one myself, and a very excel
lent one, the Bsrhamviile (8. C.,) School, kept by
Dr. Marks. The training of character can be very
little inflnenoed by teachers in these schools; but is
almost entirely influenced by the association of other
girla, and this association is, in sueh schools, tbe
result of aoeident. As for manners, no boarding
aobool, either North or South, can train them pro
perly ; for good manners are tbe result of a fine
character as a foundation, eduoated into a proper
etpresaion of Itself in manner, by association with
well bred people. The aelf-poseesaion which is
the chief characteristic of fine manners, iB based
apOD a proper appreciation of one’s self and others.
A proper appreciation of one's self depends on
having a ebaractar whiob entitles os to respect, and
* proper appreciation of others, on good reeling,
improved by that deference well bred society com
pels ns to pty each other. Girla edneated at home
in a family which has well bred visitors are im
proved by that association, but in a boarding
school, of course, for girls to go into society would
evidently lead to so many evils that it could not be
desirable. A good many of those who go North,
come home with a sort oi eonfldenoe, the result of
the consciousness they have been to Mrs. so and
so’s fashionable school, and so are supposed to be
accomplished; but tbia, though it certainly is
better than tho moutais hontt, with which they
would otherwise be afflicted, only produces a sort
of pert forwardness, rather than lady-like ease and
self-possession. Where girls do come home with
really fine manners, they would have bad them
had they remained at home, for eonre people are
constitutionally well bred. The only thing which
oan be said in tavor of the gregarious system, is that
it is a substitute for something better, when, as in
many esses, that something bettor con not be obtain
ed. Tne daughters of planters living in theoountry,
sometimes, eannot have the benefit of a good day
sebool, and all mothers are not calculated to be sn
advantage to their daughters in training character
and manners. Most of our women are so devoted
to “stitoh, stitch, stitch, seam and gusset and gus
set and band,” like Hood’s Shirt woman, ttyrt they
have no time for anything else. Not that I would
be suppoeod to slight stitchery, for to be a fine
needle woman la certainly a feminine and graceful
accomplishment, (I do not refer to the workiug of
worsted enormities, or the making of purees end
slippers too fine to be used, or any other euoh time,
•yes and health-wasting abominations;) bat life
has other duties not inconsistent with needles end
house-keeping. The truth is, tbe state of things
which make those large boarding schools desirable,
is by no means to he gloried in. Binoe, however, we
rnußt have them, they sbonld have aa little of tbe
gregarious element es possible, aud in no case
should tbe numbor be greater than should be suf
ficient to suutain teachers of English, Music and
French ; and a large number of girls never ought to
board together. There ia more speculation in theao
things than people imagine. Men who own pro
perty in stagnating little villages are very willing
to have female colleges, and while contributing to
the wanta of us benighted females, improve the
value ol their own property.
Aa for the came College, which we Georgians
take such exuberant pride in applying to female
schools, unless the things which we oult colleges
are something better than the things which are
called by the good old-faehioned name of board
ing Schools, 1 must think tho magnificence of
the term only a little ludicrous. I have known
many of the pnpile, and 1 think the standard of
scholarship about on an average with that of Bar
hamvllle and other schools. Few of (he “ college’*
girls, however, seem Imbued with those literary
tastes, whioh Dr. Marks excited in hiß pnpils.
The only difference that I can see is, that the col
leges are celled so, are chartered, and 1 believe, to
some extent, endowed ; the classes Into wbloh the
girls are divided, are oalled Senior, Junior, Ac.,
the teachers are called the “ Faculty,” and the
examinations are called Commencements, and they
give Diplomas. A testimonial of having gone
through with the presor bed oourse of studies is,
doubtless, a very good thing, especially in the
case of a young lady who expects to teach ; and>
perhaps 1 might bo inollned to attach more impot
ence to them, had I found the ownership of one,
always indicative of soholarahip. My chief objec
tion to the college system, however, lies in the
Commencements. Can you, Mr. Editor, give me
ono single reason, good or bad, which shall jnstify
the public reading of compositions by young
girls. To write a good English style should bo
part of the education of every lady, because all
may he called upon to write letters, but this oan be
attained without this public reading, and if 1
could not, every well wisher to the young ladiee o’
Georgia would aay, in th* nemo of common sense,
give it np. I don't know whether it is intended
to train onr young ladies into the orators of Wo
men’s Righto Conventions, bnt the plan seems
admirably designed to effect that object. If any
thing ornel be needed to convince parents that
aooh exhibitions are ntterly inconsistent with all
onr Ideas of female delicacy and retirement, enrely
the epithet “ femalo brass foundries,” applied to
them by some wit or other, ahonld settle the mat
ter. The true statement of the case is, that they
are designed as an annual way of bringing the
school before the public, getting into tho papers
and advertising it. 6 “rely parents can eee
that. This evil, however, >ll soon work its own
cure, for I see the editors who have been remarka
bly long suffering, are getting tired of euoh adver
tisements, whioh pay nothing and bore their
readers. Ware you, Mr. Editor, aver so unfortu
nate as to attend one of these Commencements I
Were yon ever so unmercifully bored f If ao, you
will excuse me for getting a little excited upon the
subject Os course, it is not to be expected every
young lady could write an aiticle in which people
generally could be interested, and therefore the more
shame to those who compel the poor things to
“embody and unbosom, that whioh ie net within
them, and wreak wont of thought upon expres
sion,” if I may be permitted to make a parody
These productions remind me of what I once
heard eaid of some similar affusions, “ that they
had all the merit which proceeds from want of
fruit, and all the fruit that proceeds from want of
merit.” To put a total and to them, it would only
be necessary to apply the first part of Dr. Wither
spoon’s advice to young theological students,
“ never begin until you have something to sayi
and be sure to atop whan you have got through;”
and I don't know but the same rule would put an
and to the annual addressee made at Commence
ments, and 1 dare aay the respectable gentlemen,
whose time and talents are called into requisition,
would be glad to be freed in tutura from euoh
demand*. Not that I would accuse them of
having nothing to aay, for I dare aay they have
many valuable ideas to offer upon many subjects,
and that is the vary reason they should not be
expected to waste time and talents on a subject
! which has been ao wofolly used up, that he who
oould find anything new to say on it would ha a
| genius indeed. The troth is, wa Americana

seem to imagine if we have somebody to make a

The Agricultural Fills.
Gekknville, S. 0., October. ISM.
Mb. Editob As you are directly connected,
through the press, with tho great eanse oi improv
ing the agricultural, aud developing tno natural I
resources of the South, oa connected with slave
labor, (Democrat, as I am,) I have determined to
lay aside my political prejudices, and tddreea von
this note to make some suggestions fbr the con
sideration of our common friends, toaemng sub
jects iu whioh we are all similarly Interested, and
in tho promotion ot which, if wo do not ail feel in
oomtnon, it shall not be my fault.
My first suggestion is, that tho Bcutnern Cen
tral Agricultural Association continue us annual
meetings at Augusta for several of me next Years,
if not permanently; because it is s central point,
connected, by railroad aud water, with all the At
lantic and Gulf States, and a part of the west, which
connections are becoming, daily, moro intimate.
It strikes me as being s point te wiuon more
stock and people can be couvonientiy concentrated
than any other. South Carolina eouid. I know,
very conveniently have added largely to the num
bers of Btock at the lato Fair, but oar peoplo did
not take as much interest in the matter as tbev
would have done if thay had known thesnow waa
to be continued at Augusta. I know some One
cattle, horses and sheep that will Had tbolr wav to
the Augusta shows if they are eontmned for a
series of years or perpetually at that place.
The influence of such oxhibitiouaand gatherings
are useful in proportion pretty muon to their six*.
And I have no doubt the concentration of Georgia
and South Carolina in Augusta wonid produce
muoh greater benefit than they would either be
able to accomplish by acting singly. And the
nnion of the two would form • nenctcns upon
whioh there would boa large uggragition from the
other Bontbera States.
Again tho expensive fixtures of tbs mow-ground
already erected In Augusta, would no an expense
saved by oontlnulng the shows there. And, there
fore, the oity could next year add more premiums,
with less money, than she furnished this year;
and I have no doubt tho shows would amply repay
her, in eash, for all so contributed.
The other suggestion is, that tbs Convention of
the Southern or Slave-holding States, to be held in
Columbia next December, take the necessary steps
to blend that propoaod organization with the
Southern Central Agricultural Assoelatlon.so that all
the public leaders in the groat cause of developing
Southern resouroes and protecting cur peculiar In
stitutions agaiust the world, shall all have an an
nual coming together at acontral f elnt. to consider
of the common interests. loan parcel vn no valid
objection to such a course, and maay snostautlal
reasons which I have not time to uotce in thla
hasty note, will readily occur to ever j sensible m*D.
The days could bo spent in examining stock, see
ing old friends, making new aid valuable ac
quaintances and instructive conversations ; and
the nights, from early candlo light to late bed-time,
In publio discussions, hearing addietaes. reports
and transacting the necessary business. In this
way, one week, annually spent, would diffuse an
immense amount of information, increase soc’-abll ■
ity, unite the Slave-holding States in kiud Ibellnga
and interest. Tours, most KesjeotfUily,

The Theatre.
Mb. Editob:—Since the arrival In omrmidet
of Mr. Crisp and his excellent Thasti ioal Corps,
mooli has been said and written meritoriously of
their performances generally—withes* specification
or exception.
Having been a nightly visitor at' ■Concert HalL”
and having as often come away mere mu more
highly delighted and gratified, w* f eel that too
much cannot be said or written is pi ewe, as oom
pensation for their laudable efforts re improve, In
struct and amuse; henoe, with ;oar perauseion,
we shall endeavor to adduce a few marks, drawn
from a oloee observation, upon the ns«n« aertte
of each performer.
Mb. Cnmr, of whom we are an aieeat admirer,
there can bo but one opinion, and Hit In acaord
anoo with the whole Theatrical world—the volee of
both Continents—aripe scholar, a jnet delineator—
the master of his profession. Mora nom oar pen
would be superfluous.
Mbs. Cbisp, who has won golden opinion* from
all classes, is a lady of no ordinary ability. Her
conception of character is most vivid **d lift-like.
So admirable was her personation C " *ns&r.e n in
the "Lady of Lyone," you saw onl> * r»». cash
ing and beautiful coquette—in the ,* the
humble and penitent wife—in “Mamma * the plot
ting, fiend-like artifices of an ambiftawa. determin
ed woman.
Next in rank, Miss Macohecob ounaaa apaea and j
notioa—a lady for whom nature haa oeoe so much !
in personal attraction, that were aba oven devoid
of professional talent, her appearanaa aione would
plead atonement. Though apparently very young,
she is possessed of much material, ana promises
to become not only an ornament, on* a great fea
ture in her vocation; a sweet voioa, a oeantiful
figure, an amiable manner, she reminds us very
much of Miss Julia Dean.
Mias Dicxxss and Miss Jbsaubb are also favor
ites, and nightly share a libci al demonstration of
approbation. The former displays muen natura 1
ease and skill in character; the latter, dj cultiva
tion of voioe and attention to style, would rank
high as a songstress.
Ms. Fvllbb, an old established favorite, we can
safely endorse, in common with all Ibai have had
the pleasure of witnessing his peamnnanoee, as
inimitable, in many of his charactmo, 81* "Untie
Footle' and "Peter Simpeon wet* panormanoee
of much finish and taste—being aleweaoAeient to
confirm the opinions of his worth.
Mb. McKxsni is a careful and pNM actor, and
apparently one of impulse alone. Many of his
characters are rendered with the Onwunlnstlng
can of a laborious student. tVe would mention
particularly his “ Beaueeant," “Mteimf "and
"Stuielf— this last, his best oonostvod and mom
finished representation, leaving VWJ little room
for improvement—whilst in other saam (wnneeea
sary to mention) he has disappoints* our expecta
tions.
Lima Bcrron, as he styles himself, has an im
mense fund of humor, very clever, isa a great fa
vorite. A little more legitimacy or restraint in re
gard to deviation, wonld undoubtedly mace a vast
improvement; however, rather titan miss eaen
evening the funny physiognomy of this fitue Son
ofMomna, we will content onrselve* wnn n-a ex
tempore and local jests, and still tfctah him lrre
tisttble.
Mbwbs. Boons and Hall are born young man
of mueh promise, and prove a valuaMa addition to
this moet excellent company.
Having thus for given a brief outUae Individual

were original. They evinced a depth of thought
and beauty of ezpicasion that would have done
credit to maturer year*, and were delivered in a
manner ao easy and graceful as to have been well

Distribution of the Spoils In New York.
The Washington Union, ever ready to extol the
acts of President Pierce, right or wrong, and to
abuse his opponents, denies that the Administra
tion has appointed a single Freesoiler to office,
knowing him to be such. It this be trne, then is
tho President a weaker man than we had supposed
and our readers know we have not a very exalted
opinion of his capacity. Everybody in the United
States knows the editor of the famous Cleveland
Plaindoaler is a Freeeoiler, if the President does
not, and its has received an appointment from the
Administration.
The N. Y. Herald has instituted an inquiry
into the political anteoendents of the more
important officials appointed in the Btate of New
York, which will be found below. We will leave
the reader to draw bis own conclusions, with the
single remark, that the “ Soft shells ” are those
Freesoilera who have made a show of swallowing
theirprinciples to get office. In other words, they
are nearly synonimous with the regular Freesoil
ers. — Savannah Repub.

Latter from Judge Bronson—ln reply to the Sec
retary of War.
To the Editors ' The Hon. Jefferson Davis re
cently published two letters in the Washington
Sentinel relating to New York matters in one of
which he spoke of me as “having been a very few
years ago tne abvocate of freesoilism,” and refer
red to a letter whioh I wrote in July, 1848, to a
▼an Buren or freeaoil meeting in this city. The
General very generously adds, that he is willing
in this, as in other cases, “to drop the inquiry into
by-gone opinions and associations,” and to “ad
here to the compact of 1852.” While I duly
appreciate the iatended kindness, I have no occa
sion to avail myself of this short statute of limita
tions: for I never had any “opinions” or “associa
tions” on the side of “freesoilism." Although I
did not engage in the strife of politics while occu
pying a high judicial station, it is well known in
this State, and probably in some others, that I was
a firm supporter ofGeneral Cass in 1848, and deci
dedly opposed to Mr. Van Buren and the leading
politician* who joined him in his revolt. I have
never had but one opinion, nor acted in more than
one way, in relation to the slave question.
The letter which has been mentioned proves
that I declined freesoil “ associations,” and was
opposed to freesoil “ opinions.” Mr. Van Buren
and his followers were then insisting that Congress
should enact the “ Wilmot proviso” and exclude
slavery from the New States and Territories. They
j also said that the slave States would demand the
Interference of Congress to suthorixs them to cany
their slaves into free territory. I declared myself
opposed to any action of Congress on tho subject,
either byway of prohibiting or authorizing slavery
in any territory where it did not already exist.
This would leavs the matter to be settled by the
States themselves, when States should be formed
On the mere constitutional question, the opinion
was expressed that slavery oonid not exist where
it was not authorized by law, and consequently
that if the master removed with his slaves into a
free State or territory, the slaves would bs free.
Whether that opinion, so far as relates to the
Territories of the United States was well founded
is s question, which may at some time be consider
ed by our Courts of J ustice, and by their decision
I shall abide, but as yet I have seen no reason to
change my views on the subject, and I shall not,
therefore, invoke the act of compact of 1852 to
cover up any old heresy in politics.

Farti er from Mexico.
We have been favored vith the subjoined ex
tract from a private letter to a friend in this city.
It will doubtless be penreed with interest:
1 “ Gen. Gadsden, our Minister, is getting along
smoothly with this Government. It is agreed that
neither American nor Mexican troops shall oocnpy
the dispated terirtory in the Mesilla Valley, while
negoitr.iiotis are pending. This was proposed by
- Santa Anna, and readily accepted by Gen. Gads
, den. The best feeling at present seems to prevail
in the Government toward Americans. For in
stance, »n American vessel was detected in smng
' gling, or st least pretty strongly suspected, in the
port of Acapulco: being detained and an officer
. having been placed on board until an examination
should take place, the eaptain one night slipped
his cable ana pat oat to sea with the officer on
- heard. He was pursued, overhauled and brought
: | trees, and then with alt his crew thrown into pri
— soa. On a representation from Gen. Gadsden,
however, the vessel, captain and crew ware re
-1 leased.
“Another case occurred at Paso del Norte, where
. an American stole some Mexican cattle, and was
pieced in prison to stand his trial for the offence.
There again, the American Minister interfered,
l In both instances, I am satisfied that right and
5 justioe were on the Mexican side of the question.
Bat the Mexican Government, in a written com
munication to onr Minister, informed him that his
- wishes in,these cases were acceded to, and the men
i released out of an especial regard for his Excellen
cy. Gen. Gadsden, and as an especial favor to him;
end aa suoh they desiied him to consider it.
* “There is no doubt of all this. It was an espe
i- dal fcvor to him, and not an act of policy and jus
h ties. But there is no doubt Santa Anna expects
i- to make by tke operation in the negotiations now
it i pending ; as his month is watering for some mo
i* J neTUOder the eleventh ertiole of th*Tli«tMeety of

Cnttid Siam Smxn Must-sim.
Harbor qf Napa, 1m Quo Island, J>dg t, l&M.
We bare been here little more than a month,
auxionaiy expecting the Powhaun, Vandalia, and
Macedonian, which have not yet arrived. If all
should go well, I may, in my next, be able to give
you a de-cription of the first 4th of July celebration
in the harbor of Jeddo. All oar hopes run in that
direction; but we may be di-appointei*. Our
squadron is uow composed ot the following vessels :
The Snsquehsuns, Mississippi, Plymouth, Sarato
ga—the two latter are sloops oi war, and the other
three storeehips.
When we arrived a deputation of Mandarins
came on board and requested as not to land, at
the same time offering all the provisions wa might
need. The Commodore informed them that hia
communication mnst be wM, .the Regent, who a
few days afterwards visite>f-gt> flag-ship. The re
sult of the conference was tlil'we should be allow
ed to visit the shore, <fcc. I was among the first to
land, and enjoyed a rich treat in a sight of the
Loo-Choo Islanders. Their appearance is in the
highest degree, effeminate and simple, end is in
creased by their dree*. They shear the top of the
bead, leaving a ridge of hair all ronnd. Thin,
when it grows long, is gathered np and made into
a knot on the crown, the ends being turned under
and concealed, and all brushed so smoothly as not
to leave a hair out of place. It im then kept in its
place by two pins crossing each other. Their dress
consist* merely of e pitce of light airy material
thrown over the shoulder* and gathered by a belt
at the waist, th-ends hanging down almost to tbo
ground. Their sandals are made of n kind of
straw, secured by a strap over the instep and an
other connecting with it, rearing over the foot and
passing between the big and next toe. This ie the
general dress. That of the Mandarins and the
“npper ten” is somewhat richer; there is a little
more of it, end they are allowed the Inxarv of
stockings. All, npon entering a house, leave their
sandals at the door.
The only Europeans hsre are an English mis
sionary and liis family who have been living here
about Bevcn years. The natives use every means
to get rid.of him, bnt he sticks to them like a bro
ther, and considers it a God-send when a strange
vessel happens to call this way. He sometimes
sncceeds in getting a crowd together and com
mences his discourse to which they all listen atten
tively. As soon, however, as he shows any symp
toms of excitement, the police give a signal, and all
leave him in the midst of his sermon.
We see a few Japan*!*jnnks every day, and on
board of them some of our “friends from Japan.”
They are large, fine looking men, and I suspeot,
would not be very easily handled. They are, how
ever, quite sociable and friendly. I went on board
one of their junks soon after she arrived. They
brought ns tea and pipes, examined ns curiously,
and were greatly pleased with a number of things
we had about us. We showed them a watch,
which astonished them os much ns Columbus did
the Indiaus when his ships first hove in sight of
America. In return they exhibited their little
trinkets, wine.- generally were not new or strange
to us. Before coming hore I did not know that
there was anything so formidable in my appear
ance as to cause any one to run away from me, bnt
even now, at the sight of any of us ooming towards
them the people scatter and ran like frightened
sheep. As to the women, they canDOt be approach
edto within gun shot. One .day, when gunning
in one of the farming villages, a woman, oarrying
two bnckots of water on a bamboo stick swung
across her shoulder, suddenly tamed a corner to
wards me. As soon ss she saw me she stopped,
dropped her backets, threw away her bamboo, and
took to ber heels. On coming up to the spot she
had started from I was sorry to find that she had
knocked the bottom oat ot one of ber backets. If
the faalt was mine, it was unintentional, and I
conld’nt help bnt smile, and wonder whether I
was very ugly.
In 1886 two English sailing vessels and in 1848
an English steamer visited this port. With the
exoeption of these and one or two whalers, and the
American aloop of war Preble, the vessels of onr
squadron are the only ones, either Europeau or
American, that have ever been here, and we are
the only ones who have remained any length of
time.
Some of the most beautiful spots in the world (I
believe, and some who have seen more of the world
than 1 agree with me) are to bo found on this is
land. They are not oxcelled in Italy or any part
of the coast of tbo Mediterranean that I have seen,
nor in auy of the places in all the latitudes and lon
gitudes through which we have passed in onr voy
age hither. The farmers generally live in clusters,
as I may say, and in some cases a larger number
settle together and form a village. On each side
of the streets there is a hedge or wall of bamboo
growing straight to the height of twenty feet and
coming together at the top, forming a beautiful
qreen gjthioarch. The house* are poor, and stand
jack about twenty foot from the street. In front of
each, übont half way between the gate and the en
trance to the house, is planted a close hedge, form
ing an effectual screen.
P. 8. When I commenced my letter I was two
days ahead of my reckoning. There is now no {
longer any hope of hearing our Fourth of July sa
lute echoed back from tbo wails of Jeddo. We
are, howover, not tar from Japan, and my next
will be written in eight of the Emperor's palaoe, if *
I live and all goes well.
Wreck of the Br. Ship Annie Jane—Three Hun*
dred and Forty-eight Lives Lost! l<
Our English files by the Niagara, announce one
of the most terrible catastrophes on reoord—the B '
total loss of the ship Annie J ane, Mason command- 01
er, belonging to Liverpool, which was driven a1
ashore on the iron-bound coast of Barra Island,
daring the recent gales, on tho night of Wed nee- "
day, the 28th Bept., when no fewer than three Atm- 81
dred and forty eight passengers—men, women and "
children—met with a watery grave. The Annie al
Jane was a large vessel, and sailed from Liverpool,
for Quebec and Montreal, on the 9th of last month, cl
with some 450 emigrants, most ofthem Irish fami- c<
lies. It is presumed that she had made some pro
gress across the Atlantic, whou she encountered c ’
the lato fearful south-westerly gales, which disa- a
bled her and rendered her unmanageable, and in
that hopeless condition she was driven back and
dashed on the terrible coast of Barra, one of the
Hebrides. With a point called Vatcrsay, where
the wrock occurred, the Island is six miles in ll
length and two and a half broad, and lies some fives 81
miles south-west of the next island. There is a
lighthouse on tho head, which is the highest in the 111
united kingdom, being 680 feet above tho level of w
the sea. Such is the terrible ebaraoter of the coast, *|
however, that there is little chance of a vessel be- F
ing rescued when onco it is entangled among the b
reefs. Several of tho survivors contrived to get a
passage from the island over to Tobermory, a small H
seaport in the Isle of Mull, and from them the au- B
thoritiea learned that 848 passengers were drown- it
ed, and 102, with Mr. Bell, the chief officer, and w
12,ofthe crew, saved.
We give below portions of the fearful narrative: si
* * * * At tho time the ship struck, all the vi
officers and crew were below, but tbero were also H
on deck a largo number of passengers, who bold
on by ropes and rigging, and with feelings of des- R
pair oontemplated their fate. Moanwnilo, the g,
great majority of the passengers, including ait the
women and children, were below in their berths, g(
but the striking of the ship gave them a fearful m
wakening. Mauy rushed on deck in a state of
nakedness; wives clung to their husbands, and t |
children clung to both some mute from terror,
and others uttering appaling screams and eagerly
shrieking, “Is H ere hope?” The scene is de- g
soribed by the survivors as the most agonizing h
which it could enter iuto the heart of man to con
oeive. After the first shock was over tho passon
gers rushed to '.he boats, three of which were a
placed between the mizenmast and the poop, and t ]
the fourth lay on the top of the cooking-house for- ».
ward. The light-boat had already been lost. But
the boats (were of no earthly use, for they were g
all fixed down and secured, or lay bottom up.— j,
While the passengers were thus clustered round j,
the boats, and within a very few minutes after the
ship had grounded, she was struck by a sea of
frightful potency, which instantly carried away tho j
dense mass of human beings iuto tho watery waste, •
and boats and bulwarks went along with them. At *
least 100 of our fellow creatures perished by this
fell swoop. The wild wail of the sufferers was ?
heard for a moment, and then all was still. \
The great majority of the women and children, ®
as well as some of the male passengers, remained *
below, either paralyzed by terror or afraid that “
they would be washed away in tho event of their *
coming upon deck. Bet their time also had come. ~
The frightful thumping of the great ship, taken in c
connexion with her cargo of railroad iron, mist
have immediately beaten the bottom out of her ; a
and while her fabric was in this weakened state, l
another dreadful sea broke on board and literally I
crushed that part of the dock situated between the (
mainmast and the mizenmast, down upon the t
bertha below, which were occupied by terror
striken women and sleeping children. They were l
killed rather than drowned, as was fully evinced (
by the naked, mutilated, and gashed bodies which
were afterwards cast on shore. The main and i
mizen masts went at the same moment. This <
second branch of the catastrophe took place with- \
in a very few minutes after the passengers and 1
Sari. of the crew had been swept away from the 1
eck along with the boats. The most of the re
maining seamen and passengers now took refuge <
on the poop, which was a very high one, and each I
succeeding assault of the sea carried away its victito
or victims. In short, within au hour after the An- ]
nie Jane struck the remaining stumps of her masts
went by the board, and sho broke into three 1
pieces. An additional number perished at this
disruption; and ail the survivors remained on the 1
poop, with the exception cf seven men, who bad j
secured themselves on the topgallant forecastle. ,
The poop fortunately floated well, and, as it was
about high water, the wreck wss drifted inwards >
by the wmd and each heave ol the sea, when it fi
nally grounded about 4 o’clock a. m. The fore
castle, with the seven men, camo ashore much
abontthe same time.
The wreck had been observed from the island
almost as soon as the day broke ; and, in the first
instance, seven or eight ot the Barra men camo
down to render such aid as might lie in their pow
er. Tne remains ot the mizenmaa w. re still at
tached by the shrouds to the wreck of the poop,
and by the help of tho islanders it was placed so
as to form a sort of bridge or ladder between the
poop and the shallow water; and, as the tide had
now fully ebbed, all the survivors got on shore
without much difficulty by 7 in the morning.—
When mustered the survivors were found to num
ber a total of 102, of whom one was a child. 12 were
women, and 28 belonged to the crew, exclusive of
the captain, who wa3 also saved. When the poop
was driftee ashore he secured himself upon it* sky
light. But the departed friends es the survivors
were ashore before them, for the beach was literal
ly lined by their dead bodies, as well as by innu
merable fragments of the broken ship, and the
• light part of her cargo. None of the survivors es
timate the loss of life at less than 860, and consider
it dote upon 400 eovle. The latter would be the
case if 500 individuals, including children were on
board, as is generally believed. Almost all the
cabin passengers perished, including Captain Mun
ro, of Quebec. r
Such as were saved remained by until the tide
ebbed, when they waded ashore, the water taking
them nearly to the armpits. At daylight tho bay
was strewn with dead bodies to the number of
nearly 800, greatly disfigured, many of them with
out limbs and heads, and nearly all naked, there
by showing how instant must have been their
deatb, and the fearful strength of the waters which
in so short a time made such havoc.
Only one child was saved. It belonged to an
humble Irishwoman, who. with her two children,
was about to join her husband in America. She
straggled hard to preserve them both, one on her
back, and grasping the other in her arms ; but
when the ship parted, the latter was dashed into
the sea, and the other remained.
Melancholy Accident.— An accident occurred
near Marion Court House on Friday evening last,
on the Wilmington and Manchester Rail Road, by
j which Dr. F. L. Zemp, of Camden, 8. C., was so
badly injared that it has been necessary to ampu
. tale one of his legs, and it is feared it will be ne
, ceesary to amputate the other.—We learn that his
. physicians regard his recovery as extremely doubt
ful. The accident was caused by the sudden set
I tling of a portion of the Road freshly laid which
. threw some of the cars off the track. Dr. Zemp
t was unfortunately standing on the platform of one
of the passenger care, when the sudden jolt thi ew
' him between two platforms—hence his severe in
learn that Dr. Zemp is thought to be better. We
, trust sincerely he will recover.— SumterriUe,

U«u. Beale aB4 tke California InAlasa.
Tfi» paragraph which we oopy from the Alia
Galtfomia speak* eucouragiugly of the dww plan of
bavingihe Indiana of California from being killed
up m war* with the whites or sinking into we and
degradation, which has been adopted by Congreta
at toeHUtaooe of Snperiutcoiient Beale, and gives
to the Superintendent a well-dseerved word of
praise. He eeetna formed by nature to “tubdur and
charm” the savage mind. Justice, humanity, ge
nerosity, seif possession, and the confidence iu
danger inspired by dsu!itlh<s courage, give him an
esoondant over these people and » facility ot me
naging (hem which has rarul> been seen in any
person. Great as has been ilia success in travelling
among these savages, from the Hiseieeippi to the
Pacific, and gaining their good will, be baa even
added to ilia reputation during his last expedition
over the unexplored route of the Upper Colorado.
Three times he had to depend upon the resources
ot l)is mind, his self-possession, his knowledge of
Indian character, and the steadiness of his con
fidence to save his life. At the crossing of the
East Fork of the Colorado, where he lost arn.s,
provisions, and ammnnition, and bad to send back
iiis party to get snpplies, remaining with two or
three comrades, ha was discovered by twenty
Utah*, who prepared to attaok him. He went
among them, gained their friendship, and hnnted
with them three weeks, till his party returned. He
afterwards encountered three hundred Utah
warriors, returning from a war expedition against
the Mormons : they drew up against him, pre
paring their bows and rifle*. He went in among
them, aud they became lrieuds and facilitated hia
passage. At the Little Salt Lake he fonnd the
Mormons breaking up their small settlements and
collecting into a strong one for defence. They
warned him of the danger trom the Pah-Utah*.
and that he and his little party would be killed
and robbed if they went on. They went ou, and
fell in with a camp of these most dreaded Indians
aud most iuveterato horse thieves. Beale went up
to them, inquired for their chief, told him, as he
had told all the rest, who lie was, and, delivering
hia mules and horses to the chief, required them
to be seat by his young men to a good place ot
grass and water and brought back to him in the
morniug ; all which was done, being the first in
stance known iu their history in which they miss
ed a o'.ance to steal a mulo or horse when they
could. —National lntelitgencer.
Indian Poliov or tux Gknkbal Govkk.nment.—
The arrival of Mr. Bcule, Superintendent of Indian
Affdrce, and theaunouuccnieut ot the result of hie
late interview with n number of the tribes of the
South, attraota attention to the present aud pro
able future condition of the Indians of the State,
and the policy by which they are to be governed.
It has become a question whether these unfortn
nute pcoi'lo shall be exterminated aa soon as possi
ble, or remain in their present degraded, denmeo
jees, and ho; eloss condition, or become the sub
ject of judicious and just care ou the part of the
General Government, and elevated in the scale of
humanity to tho position of a civilized and self-de
pendent people.
The first proposition is too revolting to all sense
of justice and common humanity to be entertained
by a virtuous and Christian public; the second is
too nearly allied to the first to be decided npon as
a system of policy. To leave tho Indians as they
are is to make them a thieving, predatory, thrift
leas set of semi barians, inimical to the well-being
ot the State, and destructive to their own exist
ence. Tho third alternative is demanded by a con
sideration of national justice to the Indians and
a regard for the interests of the State. Thisiß the
alternative looked to by tho Fedorsl officers in
cliarge of the Indian department in California.—
Tho plan by which this policy is to be carried out
will, we think, inoet the approbation not only of
the Government but of the people of the State.
It is simple, economical, aud calculated to im
>art the greatest moral, intellectual and physical
lenefits to the Indians that they are capable of re
ceiving. Mr. Beale, in his report to Congress,
suggested, uud is uow preparing to put into oper
ation, this plun ; which is to make reservations of
land(nselesßtothe white.nv.m, but adapted to the
wants of tho ludian) of sufficient number and ex
tent to accommodate the tribes to be located; to
furnish them with sufficient provisions to main
tain them until thoir own labor supplies their
wants; to give them farming utensils,stock,seeds,
plants, &c.; to induct them, by the agency o( pro
per superintendents, into the rudiments of agri
cultural scienco; to appropriate the surplus pro
ducts of thoir labor to their own education and
social improvement; to establish schools,oliurch
os, and otlior elevating institutions among them.
These are tho outlines of tho general plan. The
Superintendent purposes commencing his opera
tions with the Indiaus iu the southern part of the
Tulare plains| the reservation to be located in the
vicinity of Tejou. The tribes in that region, with
some of whom Mr. Beale recently had an official
“talk,” have a natural taste for agricultural pur
suits, which they practice now, to somo extent, in
their primitive manner, when thoy are not molest
ed; unil thoy arc ext emely anxious to avail them
selves ot the proposed system of colonization.—

TRADE AND BUSINESS, daring the week have been
very fair In almoet every department, and the . prospect is
now flattering for a good business season.
GROCERIES.—The transactions in the Grocery market
have been quite extensive, keeping heldera actively en
gaged. The stocks an ample and Increasing. We note no
change in any leading article, and would refer to onr quota
tions as a fair index to prices.
PROVISIONS.—The Bacon market la well euppUed, the
demand is, however, not so great and prices are not so firm,
though we make no change ia our quotations, as a good
article, which la very scarce, will oommand them. Se'cs
ofan Inferior quality, of oourae, are made at lower ratee.
The demand for Flour oontlnuea good and prices are firm.
See quotations.
GRAlN.—Heldera of Corn are rather more firm, though
we do notchange our quotations. The supply la equal to
the demand, which is not large. A large lot would not
command above 66c. Wheat commands, readily, our quo
tation!.
SALT continues acaroo, and ia retailed from store at 11.76
V sack. It commands, readily, $1.70 by the quantity.
EXOHANGE3.—The Banka sell Checks on the North at
34 V cant- prem.
FREIGHTS.—The lata ralna produced a rise of several

Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 14.— Cotton.— There hu been more
doing in tbe Cotton market during the preaent week.
Prices clote very steadily at the rates of Friday last, and
are in eotne cases a shade higher
The accounts from tbe other side are by no means fa
vorable regarding the crop, ard to this cause, and the ex
haustion of stocks in spinners' hands, must mainly be at
tributed the present steadiness. As regards matters on
this side, there is on tbe whole little change for the better
Political affairs are in as ontieal a posttion as ever. Honey
though by no means scarce, remains unchanged In value
At Manchester business has been very dull, though Tor the
last day or two there hat been rather mere doing at low
prices. The labor question remains unsettled; the hands
have turned out Wi»an, and the mills at Preston will be
closed at the end of this week.
The sales of the week are 87,800 bales, of which 0,880
bales on speculation and for export, leaving 80,470 bales to
the trade. The market to-day It steatfir. hales 7,000
bales. We quote:
Fair Urletns, 7ȣd _ middling 6Vd
Fair Mobiles, 6tfd middling 60-16 d
Fair Upland, Ojgd mlddlidg 5 f-ltd
i Com.—A considerable fall took place In our Corn mar
kets in the early partof the week, but this decline having
attracted buyers for consumption, we bare had for the last
two days a good demand, and prioes of Wheat and Flour
hare recovered the decline, closing at the rates of Friday.
1 Indian Corn Is dull at a decline of 8s per quarter.—si.
Dennuton db Co,
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 4. During the early part of the
preaent week the Cotton market was exceedingly depres.-ed
and some irregular sales were made at a decline upon the
previous week’s prices. During the last two days, however,
there has been an Improved demand, mainly owng to the
expectation that the sp.nuers and operatives will shortly
adjust their differences. The Trade, being bare or Stock,
have purchased more freely In consequence, and, aided by
some demand for export and on speculation, prices have
more than recovered the last decline, aud Xd. advance in
tbe current qualities is established to-day upon last week’s
quotations*
The transactions for the week ending last evening are
estimated at 87,800 bales, Speculators taking 8.600 and ex
porters 8,8"0 bales. To-day tbe sales reach 7,000 bales,
and the market clossee very steadily at the following quo
tations:

The total stock in this port la placed at 708,000 bales, of
which 462,000 are Amerioan against 416,000 and 808,000
bales American at same time last year.
There Is no perceptible Improvement to report as yet in
the state of Trade In Manchester.— Broum, Shipley dk Co.
HAVRE, Oet. 18.—There has been a dull market to-day.
The sales of cotton amount to 600 bales only, but without
any material change in prices. No arrival from the Uni
ten States has taken place.
Flour Is In good demand and sells at 441. per bbl. In bond
—wheat also is held firm.
Public attention continnes to be directed to the eastern
question but although the discount of tbe bank of France
has been raised to 4 peroent. financial matters remain In
a satisfactory state, and business in general, pursues its
regular course. !

Dally paptr at $5,00 a yen.*, and iheir Trl Weelny at $8 ,00,

sent subscribers, who do not choose to pay in advance,
the paper will be furnished at the reduced rates on and
after the first of January, aid those who hu»e paid in ad
vance will be credited accordingly.
We propose also to Issue a Weekly paper, commencing
early in November,at $2,00 a year, to be paid for Invaria
bly in advance. To c.ubs of ten, the Weekly will bo fur
nished at $15,00.
We make this reduction in the price of the Rktcblicak
for three reasons: First, because a e detire to scatter the
paper over this and udjoiuing Kates, in order, hs Ur as
we are able, to extend the relations and increase the bu
siness of Savannah, believing that whatever promotes the
prosperity of the city, cannoi fail to exe t a beneUci*! effect
upon our own fortunes. The great facilities we for
distributing daily, tri-weehiy, anu weekly tut iligtit t, by
our railroad connections and steamboat 1 ues, eu-outage
us to be ieve that the undertaking will be, because it ought
to be,BUCoessfiil.
Secondly, because other papers throughout the couotry |j
are reducing i heir rates of subscription, and we would
place our readers upon a footing as favorable as that en*
joyed by the reeders of those papers.
Third,y, because we shall never be more able to mike
the reduction than at present. We wou'd not boaat of our
success,yet we beg leave to say that the support which
our patrons have accorded us up to thi* time, enables m
to make thi< reduutiot ,and thua lo offer some slight ac- *
knowledgement for tht ir past fmrs. We hope th -y will
see in thi« fact reason tor acoutinuanceOf their patronage,
and so such efforts as they tuay fiudit convenient to make
iu procuring us additional subset ioers. The step we have
resolved upon must result in loss, without a large acces
sion to our subscription list.
The growing importance of Savannah, as a commercial
centre, to the Planter, the Merchant, and indeed to all
classes, at least in this Slate, reuuers it unm.ceß4.ry for
us to offer any argument why they should aval them*
selves of the means thus offered, for obuii lug the latent
