liahed iu the New Orleans Christian Advoeats. —
The writer, after describing his trip through Vir
ginia, says:—
“Oar steamer is now ascending the Potomac
The qnestions are going round among the passen
gers; “W;«re is Mount Vernon?” “Have we
yet got in sight of Washington's grave ?” To
whi:h the general reply given was that the boats
always toll their balls as they pass that place. In
a short time we tound ourselves approaching the
object of our regards, and the conversation tamed
upon, as then stated, that the Southern ladies, led
by the ladies of Georgia, had resolved on purchas
ing the grounds, and dedicating them to their
country and tha public enjoyment. With heads
uncovered we stood and mused over the past, the
present, and the future. One of our company,
Rev. C. K. Marshall, of Mississippi, silently drew
from his pocket an old letter, and as is his wont,
began to scribble on the top of his hat. lam al

Servility and Arrogance.—ln the correspon
dence between tlio French Consul at San Francis
co and the authorities, appears a lettor from one
Richd. P. Hammond, holaingthe exalted position
of Collcc’-oroftho port of San Francisco. Mr. H.
communicates to the French Consul lhat he has
heard that tho latter was present as an invited
guoat at a dinner given to Gen. Wool and Gover
nor Foote. Mr. H. says:
My own intercourse with yon, potsonal and oih
cial, my estimate of you as a gentleman ot high
character, cultivated intelligence and rctined
tastoe; the respect you can but feel for the go
vernment you represent, und that I know to be
duo from you to tho government to which yon are
accredited; ult these elements of opinion lead me
to boliovo that you would not, knowingly, design
to participate in a political demonstration against
the President of the United States.
1 trust 1 shall not bo mistaken in the opinion
that you, as others, liavo botn unwittingly, and to
tho perpretators oi the trick disgracefully, entrap
ped to a protended entertainment to two dist'n
gnished citizens of our land.
The public notification to tho world that you
tiers a participator in this pretendedentertalumen t,
makes it proper that I should seek, in order, at
least, tbat oar intercourse for the future may be
shaped by the tenor es your reply , a public assertion
of tho position wi ieh you choose to ocoupy. [Our
italics.]
My own conviction of what that position must
bo, its contrast and opposition to that which you
are made to hold, indnees mo to intrude my private
hopes and views in a communication, which might
moro oropnrly have boon altogether official.
With high respect, your obedient sorvant,
Signed, liioHAjm B. Hammond, Collector.
M. I'. Dillon, Consul do France, San Francisco.
The offonco committed by the Consul seems to
have consisted in the implied insult givon to the
mußtor ol' Mr. Hummoml, by attending a dinnor
given to gontionnn who condemn tho policy
of the Administration. Mr. 11. goes on to say that
Mb futuro relations with the Consul shall bo
regulated by Ithu reply|fo his lettor. “Wo sup
pose,” says the Baltimore Patriot “that this offi
cial, having obtained his post by sycophancy and
supplication, is dosircus to commend himself to
tho President by somo act of personal devotion;
ho therefore forwards to| Washington this certifi
cate of his servility. But what law gives this
Foueral money-charger authority to opou a diplo
matic correspondence with the representative of a
foreign power? or, to call him lo account for at
tending a dinnor to which he wub invited?
“Mr. 11. hopes that the Consul did not ‘design to
tuko part in u politioal demonstration against tho
I’rosident of tho United States!’ What if ho did ?
Havo not foreign gentlemen attended demonstra
tions in Ilia favor. Wo cannot understand this
now doctrine that officials in tho p>ay ot ilia Go
vernment are authorised to demand satisfaction
for a demonstration ofopinionagainstthe adminis- '
tration, and to make their per.-oual oivilities the
reward of tho approval, or their withdrawal the
condemnation, with which foreigners may choose 1
lo regard tho acts of our Government. Mr. George '
Saunders assomhlod all the political otillawa at his 1
tablo. Mr. Spence committed his Government as '
far as ho could to the cause of Turkey. We have !
us yet had no remonstrance on this account; but
Mr. Hammond, a salaried bung-guager, quits his 1
proper businoss of exploring holds and scrutinizing '
invoices, to tell tho Commercial Agent of France 1
that if he goes to an anti-l’iorco dinner their rela- !
tious must be iu future hostile. Really Mr. Ham
mond ought to bo promoted to a diplomatic sta
tion, where his fidelity lo tho administration might
bo moro usolul. Porliaps the rigorous arrest of
tho French Consul by another of tho Fedoral ter- 1
riors was a consequence of his impudent accop- 1
lanco of din no- invitations. Let it bo made penal
for a foreign officer to accept a dinner invitation 1
without loavo of tho Government.” —Mobile Ad
vertiser.
A Ci’lUSttan Motheb.—Tho Kov. Dr. Hawks
recently delivered a loctaro before the Historical
Bocicty of tho city of Now York, when he rotated
tho following story, illnstrativo of female horoism:
“Among those,” ho obsorvod, “who formed a
part of the settlement during the revolutionary
struggle, was a poor widow, who, having buried
hor husband, was loft in poverty, with the taßk
upon hor hands of raising throe sons. Os these,
tho oldest, oro long, fell in tho cause of her coun
try, nnd sho struggled on with tho youngest as
best sho could. After tho tall of Charleston, and
tlio disastrous defeat of Colonel Buford, of the
Stato of Virginia, by Tarlton, permission was
givon to some four or fivo American females to
carry necessaries and provisions, and administer
some relief to the prisoners on board the prison-
Bhip and in the Ja ls at Charleston. This widow
was one of the volunteers ou this errand of mercy.
She was admitted within tho city, aud braving tho
honors of pestilence, employed hersolf to the ex
tent of her hnmblo means in alleviating the de
plorablo sufferings of her oountrymen. Sho knew
what sho had to encounter ; but, notwithstanding,
wont bravely on. Her mission of humanity hav
ing been fulfilled, she left Charleston on her re
turn; but alas! hor exposnro to the pestilential
atmosphere she had been obliged to breath, had
planted in her system tho seeds of fatal disease;
and ere sho reached her home, sho sank nnder
an attack of prison fever, a bravo martyr to the
cause ot humanity and patriotism. The dying
mother, who now rests in an unknown grave, thus
left her only son, the sole survivor of his family,
to tho world’s charity; but little did she dream,
as death c.osod her cyea, the luture of that orphan
boy. Tho son bccamo President of thie f roe Re
public—for that widow was tho mother of An
drew Jackson.
SLKinso is Kailp.oad Cars.—Some few months
sines wo noticed an announcement inthe Northern
papore which conld not fail to prove acceptable to
the travelling public—namely, the fact I hat Mr.
John T. Hamnult, of Philadelphia, had devised a
plan for adjusting the Boats in railroad cars so the
occupants ooald enjoy alt the pleasure aud advan
tages of a recumbent position, enabling them to
obtain the necessary ropose even during long
journeys—a consummation most devoutly to be
'wished, and whlcit will be fully appreciated by
any person who has travelled all night in care
furnished with seats of tho usual construction, in
which every position has been assumed in the
Tain hopo of hitting upon an easier one; and each
fresh attempt only resulting in tho discovery of
some new inoonveuionoc. The legs cramped up
—the houd bumping about at the risk of having
the nock broken, aud tho painful feeling of ex
cessive sleepiness, obliged to be borno without the
hope ofrolief. The contrivance of Mr. Hammilt
consists of a seat placed in the same poeiiion in the
car as tho present stylo of seats usually occupy.
It is made, however, on the reclining principle,
and its occupant, by moving a simple knob, can
throw himself back in a reonmbent posture, with
out any other exertion thau moving his hand. The
backward movement of the seat throws up a pad
died leg-rcat, and the traveller is then to all in
tents aud purposes roclining on a luxurious lounge
with tho single exception that he has no pillow.
But this difficulty Mr. iiamuiitt has also overcome.
Each scat is furnished with a sliding, self-adjust
ing head rest, which can be moved without the
sligntest trouble, so as to suit the statute or ca
price of tho traveller. These rests are made to
oouform to the shape the head, and beiug covered
with velvet, and nicely padded, they form very
comfortable pillows. This entire arrangement is
neat, compact, simple and effective, and withal
exceedingly tasteful. The occupant of the scat, in
getting out of it, restores it to its original position.
The machinery, by which the desirable object of
converting a seal into a couch is effected, is so
simple iu its construction, and is made upon such
correct mechanical principles, that its becoming
deranged or brokeh with ordinary usage is almost
impossible.
The soats, we learn, have been introduced into
the right ears on the Baltimore and Philadelphia
Railroad, and have given ihe fullest satisfaction,
vv e are a.so informed that the patent scats have
bten or are about to be introduced upon the Wil
mington and l.aleigh and the Wilhrnglon aud
Manchester Railroads. Indeed, we learn some of
them have already been pat on the Manchester
road, and aro all that ia claimed for Ihem. If so
there cau be no question of their general adop
tion in care running at night.— IVaningUn Jour
nal.
A Rruc or rATBioTL-M.—Gen. Wooster, to
whose memory a monument has recently been
erected in Dambary. Mass., was killed at Ridge
field by an English bullet, in 1777. The Burgeon
at the Danbury hospital, where the dying General
was brought, probed his wounds and searched for
the bullet in vain, and the ball still remained in
the body when it was consigned to the grave.
Seventy-seven years afterwards, as we learn from
the New Haven palladium, in 1554, when it was
sought to removexhe remains of Woostcr, the exact
spot of his interment was uncertain. Diggmgnear
the place where a few aged persons snppo ed the
grave to have been, soon the skull and larger bones
of a man were found. Then two bunches of mat
ted wire were thrown out; the) were the epaulettes
of tho dead. Next was found s portion of a plume,
and finally a lump of clay was tossed up, which on
being broken by the laborer, was discovered to
contain the leaden bullet. This was conclusive
proof of the identity of the remains. The bullet
was known to be of English man mad are from its
extraordinary siz 3—being much larger than those
used by the Americans. How little the soldier who
sent the fatal messenger of death imagined that it
would be held to the gase of a great concourse of
people aud honored by them as a precious relic,
seventy years afterwards:

AUGUSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1854.
Reports ao American Industry.
j The London Illustrated News introduces the
i reports of Whitworth and Wallis, two of the Brit
| , ish Commissioners whs attended the Industrial
Exhibition at New York, by some highly compli.
mentary remarks on the Cnitid States. These
gentlemen speak by the book—Mr. Whitworth
. being an eminent engineer or tool maker, of Man
chester, and Mr. Wallis connected with the manu
factures ot Birmingham. We have only roam for
the following portion of their reports :
“1 could not fail (says Mr. Whitworth) to ba
impressed from al! I saw there, with the extraor
dinary energy of the people, and their peculiar
aptitude in availing themselves of the immense
nstarsl resources of the oonntry. They call in the
aid of machinery jn almost every department of
industry. Wherever it can be introduced as a
substitute lor manual labor, it is universally and
willingly resorted to. For example, in plough
making, eight men canftnish thirty ploughs per
day: in door-making, twenty men make a hun
dred doors per day; in last making, the process is
completed in a minute and a half; in sewing, by
machinery, one woman does the work of twenty ;
in net-making, one woman does the work ol a
hundred. Tho eager resort to machinery, wher
over it can be applied, under the guidance of su
perior education and intelligence, is mainly tha
cause of the remarkable prosperity of the United
States. Combinations to resist the introduction of
machinery arc unheard of in the Stateß. The
workmen hsii with satisfaction all mechanical im
provements; the importance and value of which
as saving them from the drudgery of unskilled
labor, they are enabled, by education, to under
stand aud appretiato.” “In every State of the
Union, and particularly in tho North, education
is, by means ol the common schools, placed within
the reach of each individual, and ail classes avail
themselves of tha opportunities afforded. The
desire of knowledge, so early implanted, is great
ly increased ; while the facilities for using ft are
amply provided, through tho instrumentality of
the almost universal press. No taxation of any
kind lias been Buffered to interfere with the free
development of thi »j?w«jjnt^ n ‘ o^ r t^ ro ™'
v qVjnoe rs, wnore tht MiifflSjiire laborer can In-'
dirge iu tho luxury of hia daily paper, everybody
reads, and thought and intelligence penetrate
through the lowest grades ot society/’
The observations made by Mr. Wallis confirm
those made by Mr. Whitworth.
Thus tho astounding fact is revealed to us by
Mr. Whitworth aud Mr. Wallis, that the individu
als of the mighty moss,of human beings existing
and coming into cxistenee in North America, are
superior to the average of Europeans. If they are
not exactly, as has been said, a nation of Frank
lins and Stephensons, they abound iu men of
enorgy, genius and talent, and are as mnoh supe
rior individually, as they are in national progress,
to the Italians, tho Spaniards, and the Germans.
Mr. Whitworth, too, statos that tho Americans,
finding a groat plenty of wood in their country —
having, in fact, to clear it away, in order to get
unencumbered ground to cultivate—have applied
it to every possiblo purpose, and manufacture it
by every kind of labor saving machinery. They
havo saw mills, planing machines, machines for
making boxos, matebes, lasts; machinery for sav
ing labor in making lurniture, ploughs, churns,
carriages, &c. So that Mr. Whitworth, ono of tho
most ingenious and well-informed of men, is him- I
self astonished at tho numerous applications of i
machinery to the manufacture of wood. “Eng- i
land has done sou etbiug in this way,” he remarks
“by the celebrated block making machinery at i
Portsmouth, but much less than lias been done |
in America.” lusteal of the Americans borrowing i
from Europe, tho people of Europe, especially of |
England, who arc host able from their own i
achievements to nppreciaio what is done else- I
whore, are borrowing from America. From one ■
thing tho Americans have gone to another, with- <
out coming through Europe. \
“The character (says Mr. Whitworth) thus giv- (
en to ono branch of manufactures has gradually |
extended to Other... Applied to 'tone dressing, ]
one man is onabled to perform as much work as ,
twenty masons by hand. So groat, again, aro tho i
improvements effected in spinning machinery, |
that one man can attend to a mill containing 1,098
spindles, each spinning three hanks, or 8,264 1
hanks in the aggregate per day. In Hindostan, 1
where they still spin by hand, it wonld ba extrav- ,
agant to expect a spinner to accomplish one hank ,
per day; so that in tho United States wo find tho j
same amount of manual labor by improved machi ,
uory doing moro than 8,000 times tho work.” ,
On many other points thoy are eminently sue- i
ooisful. Thoy have machines for making slrrts ,
entirely, except the gussets; tin i one woman does |
as much as from twelve to twenty hand sewers. ,
In applying India rubber to many purposes thoy ,
aro eminently sauoesstuL Thoy havo more rail- j
ways and telegraphs than any othor poople, and ,
make more use of them. They do not waste their ;
resources ouornamoutal buildings betore the rail- j
way is brought into working order, but, good j
souse predominating, they study economy in the <
construction and speedy completion of railways, t
There aro betwoon twenty and tnir’y olootric com- )
panics in the States, aud there are not less than t
15,000 miles of telegraph lines, and more are con
tinually boing constructed. Thoir lines are used ,
by all clossos, and for the conveyance of all kinds |
of information. Thus, wliilo it is quite true that j
the Americans derived the beginnings of their j
knowledge and their arts from Europe, they have j
long since gone far aboad of Europeans, and in ’
material arts, as well as in political aud moral reg- i
ulations, they surpass all that is considered to be ,
excellent in the old world.
Thoir progress, which is connected with their
freedom, illustrates its advantages. For the oom
ploto proof thut political freedom gives b rth to in
dividual superiority in every man in the States,
approximating to tne first rate geniuses of the old
world, wo are indebted to the elaborate and excel
lent reports of Messrs. Whitworth and Wallis. Mr.
Whitworth visited and inspected a number of es
tablishments for malting steam engines and ma
chinery of all kind 3; ho examined all sorts of in
struments and all sorts of factories. Mr. Wallis
did something of the same kind, but was more
limited in bis range, confining himself chiefly to
“manufactures as a result;” while Mr. Whitworth
oxpandod his observations to “machinery as u
means,” in which, says Mr. Wallis, the Americans
are remarkable for “originality of conception, con
struction and application.”
While other travellers have glanced over the
surface of society in the Statos, anmeirg us by its
oddities and its merry or fareial contortions, these
commissioners have been privileged to inspect the
beatings of its youthful and mighty heart, to ex
amine xhe sinews an 1 the muscles of its growing
and hercnloan frame, and the picture which they
draw of its impulse and its powor, excite our ad
miration of the probable destiny of man on earth.
That civilization proceeds with tolerable uniformi
ty, soems exemplified by tho past history of Eu
rope. That all nations aro hereatter to grow and
expand together more than heretofore, seoms high
ly probable from the rapid increasing communica
tion between all. Tho most distaut in space aro
brought within a sow days or weeks of each other.
The oldest and tho neweßt—China and America—
aro in close and continual communication. There
fore, wo may hopo all mankind will become what
the Americans are. At least, tho addition, in a
century, of one hundred millions to tho population
of the civilized world—tho addition being in ad
vance of tho majority of the nations of Europe, as
much as those aro in advance of the majority of
tho nations ot Asia, will have a wonoerful and
beneficial influcuoc on tho progress of all. Into
tho various important details of tho different man
ufactures oarriod on wo cannot follow tho reports
of the commissioners ; but from no other writings
or books that wo aro acquainted with can so much
information be obtained of what is doing in Ame
rica, or such an insight be gained into society there.
The Defalcation at the (7.8. Mint.
J. Etiglo Negus, the woigher of bullion at the
Mint at Philadelphia, is skid to be the person
charged with tho large defalcation. As all tho
bullion in tho establishment, passed through his
hands, it is difficult to tell now much treasure is
really missing. It is reportod that ho transmitted
a igreat amount to Europe whither ho has fled.
In speaking of the matter the Philadelphia Ledger
says:
We understand that suspicion was first directed
against him by the fact of his requesting the re
finer to pass through the usual refining process a
small amount of dust, without any aoconnt being
taken of it, it being, as he alleged, for a poor wo
man of his acquaintance, who desired to nave it at
once; as ho, Negus, was acquainted with the cir
cumstances, tho usual forms might be waived.
Tho refiner demurred somewhat to the deviation
from the rule, but did as was requested, and re
turned to Negus the proceeds. Shortly afterwards
he cirne to the refiner again with a similar re
quest, soling, again, as he alleged, for some poor
woman.
The refiner took the dost, and went through the
operations of refining it, but in the meantime ac
quainted the principal officers of tho mint with
the facts ot the case. A wax impression was then
made of the locks of Negus’ safe, imitation keys
firocured, and watch set on his operations. Short
y afterwards, one hundred ounces of gold dust
were missed, and on opening hia safe the missing
paicel was found. It was replaced and the watch
further continued, when shortly afterwards a par
cel of seventy ounces was trussed. His safe was
again oxaminod, and tho abstracted parcel found.
Negus was thou charged with the robbery, wheD
he attempted to divert suspicion of any dishones
ty of purpose by alleging that he merely took it to
soe if it would be missed, and to show how neces
sary it wa. thrt more checks should be introduced
into the business of tho establishment to prevent
the reality of his illustration. Without admitting
the propriety of his act, the officers inquired the
purpose of the abstraction of the hundred ounces
previously. His countenance at once betrayed his
guilt, and he confessed his crime, paying back all
it was known he had taken. He sailed on Satur
day last from New York, in the Washington, for
Southampton. How much more he may have ta
ken, if any, or why he was permitted to escape
unpunished, are matters unknown and unex
plained.
Return of Qcobgia N tenons from California.—
The New Orleans Picayune says: The steamship
Pampero, on her last trip ftom San Juan, bronght
up twelve or fifteen slaves, who, together with
their master, were on their return from California
to Georgia. The slaves were taken out to Califor
nia by their master in the spring of 1850, and as
soon as practicable after their arrival in San Fran
cisco started for the golden mines, where they
have ever since labored faithfully, the proceeds ol
their labor rendering their owner wealthy. When
they returned to San Francisco, the owner ad
dressed them, and informed them that they were
free, and offered to rig them out in fine style, and
give each of them a sufficient sum of money to
enable him to start fair in the world for himself.
Without a single exception they refused. They
had ail been looking forward with great glee to a
return to the “ old plantation ” and the “old folks
at home,” and so go back they all came, and by
this time, perhaps, they are astonishing the young
darkeys, who have never left home, with the won
drouß instances which befe. them in the land of
gold, and gratifying them with a sight of the mon
keys, paroquets, Ac., wuich they picked up on the
Isthmns of Nicaragua.

who came through with the slaves and their owner,
and who were perfectly coenizant of the matters
stated, and we recommend this simple and truthful

no desire to hear the truth. It would destroy their
business, falsehoods being their stock in trade.

William Wimaks.— Almost equal in authority
and years with the senior Bishop of the ehurob, is
William Winans, of Miaaiafipp;. Ha never rises
to his feet, but that he la recog- 'iedbytlm presid
ing officer, and the floor and tho ear of the body
cheerfully yielded to him. He e tht opposite in
every other rrapect
dine of life. He is utterly careless in dreas and
manner; his brown gray hair Nils negligently
about over his face, and he sits and stands just as
it suita his convenience. But when he begin* to
speak, his tall form rises to its ntmost height,
his small liquid black eyos sparkle like a jam, and
hesweops through his argument likes hurricane on
the plains. Hia enuneiation is distinct and rapid,
and every sentence is not only forcibly emphasised,
but overy word properly aooented, and pronounced
according to the best authorities. Hia manner is
animated, bisgesticulation vehement and hia voice
full, round and clear. He never is at a lota for
either a word or an idea. He throws hi* heart
and soul into his speech, and convinces not leas by
his earned sincerity, than by his cogent logic.
Not less attractive in private life, than aa a de
bater, is this venerabla man. True, haiantteily
careless in manner and despises all tha graces, bnt
his simplicity wits confldenoe, hi* earnest enthu
siasm elicits communion, and hia loving heart
draws all men to him. He, too,ia on the verge of
life and has well nigh done his work. He has
prepared a volume of discourses for the prots,
which the book agent of the church is autho
rised to publish. We await ita appeartnoe with
anxiety, and, till then, take leave of “the old man
eloquent.”
Dr. William A. Smith, of Va.—There are some
men wh i are not only great indeed, but who look
great. Such a man, we presume, was Martin Lu- i
their It is impossible to conceive of the great re
former as a puny little man, with narrow cnest and f
cracked voice. He must have been a broad shoui •
toed giant, who stood upon legs of brars, with a ■
voice which shook the old German cathedrals, like ,
the roll of distant thunder and a face luminous with s
intellcetand crowned by a brow on whioh authority
set enthroned. No other man would hiv9 dared j
to lay his hands upon the pillars of the church of i
Rome which thou bestrode the world like a Colos- j
bus. and shako down the proud arches vhich they
supported ;orif he had the world would have c
laughod at him for his presumption.
Just such a man is Dr. William A. Smith, of ;
Virginia. He is only about five feet and a half high, ,
but his frame is large and knit together with mns- ;
clos of steel. lie is the embodiment of strength, ,
and looks as if he defied tho wear of labor. His 8
face and forehead are broad and mvsive, and his ,
clear bine eye lias an undaunted look. Be etandß -
erect upon his feet, with hia head thrown back, j
and looks out upon nature and up the heavens, ,
with suoh unblenching bravery, that one is almost ,
led to think that his mind has struggled with all ,
mysteries, and his hear’ wrestled with ill powers, t
and found nothing abovo his capacities. Yet time .
has loft its mark upon him. He is slightly lame '
and limps in his walk ; his light hair has fallen
from his brow; but their defects do not in the J
least impair the majesty of his presenot, they are .
but the scars of the veteran. Add to these rare ,
gifts a loud, oretund voice, which vibrates npen ,
the air like the peal of an organ, and you have be- t
fore you the intellectual giant of Methodism, and 8
the beau ideal of Anglo-Saxon manhood.
Dr. Smith is a Virginian by birth. His father c
was a merchant, but died insolvent while he was a (
boy. Ho was bound apprentice to a shoemaker, J
bnt was soon afterwards released from the articles .
by a Mr. Russell, who hod rooelved great favors
from his father, and offered a place holds store.—
This offer he declined, having embraced religion
and determined to devote himself to thegospel
ministry. His early educational advantages were i
limited, but by dilligent application and (he foroe 1
of native intellect, be has made hlmaelf a edholar, f
and ia now successor of Dr. Olin in the Preeiden- 1
cy of Randolph Maoon Col liege Va., and it is a very i
general opinion that thocollego hia suffered node- i
triment "by the change. t
The Methodist connection have long known and
appreciated the lofty intellect of this gifted man, i
but he was never known to the country at large
until the fanatical spirit of the North, upon the i
subject of slavery, brought the North and South in I
collision in 1314. He then stood forth the oham- f
pion of the South in tho defence of Harding, and i
bore a prominent part in all the debates of the (
General Conference which effocted the division of |
the churoh. <
His intellectual developments bear a close re- t
semblance to those of Calhoun, of whom he is evi
dently a disciple, and it is believed by many that i
he is in no respeot his inferior. Oar readers <
have had the pleasure of reading in previous is- <
sues of our jonrnal, an abstract of two lectures de- i
livered by him in this city on the eubject of
slavery. They were oharacteryied by great depth i
and originality of thought, comprehensiveness of j
view and thorough analysis of principles. He I
sees at once into the heart of a subject, and has I
the remarkable faculty of making the mostab- t
struse reasoning palpable to the commonest oom- <
irebension. It is to be regretted that be has not i
ong since published bis discourses upon slavery.
Wo are satisfied that they are the most masterly |
defence of southern institutions which have ever i
been delivered. We ore pleased to announoe that i
be will give them to the public at his earliest eon- \
vonience.
It may astonish our readers that a man so emi
nent was not elevated to the Bishopric by the i
last General ConteremrO, This will not surprise i
ns when we recollect that Calhoun, Olay and Web- 1
ster, were passed by to make room for inftrior men
by the American people, Intellect is imperious,
and scorns to conciliate When It cannot oon vinos.
Besides, little men arc not ablh to comprehend
gieat men, and are sure to mMnterpiet ft its; and
therefore, fear them. —(Mwmhn Imef.

proving as we suspected, that the proclamation of j
-hli,g-paon, regarding the taking of Tub-lew on ,
tho 14th January, and the subsequent march ot |
his victorious army to meet the Southern body of ,
rebels, is a fabrication. On tbe day in question ,
there was indeed a fight, in whioh, acoording to \
Shing-paon, some four or five hundred of the rebels
were slain ; bnt the latter retain possession both j
of Tnh-lew and Tsing-hae. So far from Shing- <

rescript from the Emperor etating as the rebels .
have now been in possession of the posts in ques- !

been able to disturb them in the slightest degree,
notwithstanding his blustering about repeated vio- -
tori a*: that Tsang-bib-lin-sin be ordered to ad- ,
vauce, and join his forces to those of Shing-paon, .
to make one grand attack on the rebels’ position- '
The Emperor adds, that if Shing-paon hangs ,
back and does not easrt himself, Seaause Tsing- ,
hih-iin-sin has been ordered to advance, thus .
throwing the responsibility off himself upon the i
amoved named officer, he will chop off hia head \

aide, claims, the charity of his Empress—or, it
may be, as an awkward captain of a steamer,
effects te run down some lubbering captain of u
small craft on the Baltio—and, while supposed io
be thus roaming over the Empire, ularms his inin-
iaters by suddenly presenting himself amongst
them. A few years ago, an American frigate—
alike celebrated for the beauty of her proportions
—the solidity of her form—and quickness of sail
ing—entered the Harbor of Cronstadt. Her ar
rival was at onoe communicated to Nicholas, and
before her anchor was fairly down, one of his
richly ornamented steamers was observed ap
preaching across the wide bay. The steamer
stopped at about one hundred yards distance
from the frigate, and a dazzling group of officers
was seen to enter a barge, the course of which
was immediately directed towards the ship. Act
ing as coxswain to this barge, aud seating himself
at the stem, appeared a conspicuous ligure, with
a small white cap, encircled by a red baud, and
attired in a single breasted dark green frock coat,
the attire «ermmofnl>g u-.Hfc the -ladWidiwP*
subordinate capacity, and presenting a single con
trast |to the epaulettes, and other finery of those
under whose orders he soorned stationod. Always
prepared to receive such visitors, onr naval com
mander met them at tho gangway and gave them
a cordial welcome. Among them was the vice
chancellor of the empire, tho minister of marino,
and a number of admirals and general officers,
who went “alt” in the cabin of tho commodore,
whilst their coxswain, as if conscious that ho must
look out for himself, walked “ forward” and min
gled carelessly with tho common sailors. As ho
examined the battery and scrutinized the bul
warks, asking now and then questions, the hardy
tears, train to discern tho air and tono of real au
thority, instinctively touched their tarpaulin hats,
and winking knowingly to each ether, whispered ,
their conviction, that it “ was the old boy himself I” ,
This suspioion circulated with rapidity throughout ,
the frigate, but not one deemed it decorous, by the |
slightest word or look, to intimate its existenco to
him who thought himself, os he wished to be, ab ,
solutely unrecognizsd. After inspecting this
specimen of our naval architecture and armament, ]
the splendid cavalcade re-ontorod their barge. And .
now arrived tho moment whon tho commodore |
was to decide whether ho should give tho ordina
ry salute of twenty-one guns, or twice that num- ]
her, constituting an imperial salute. The sub- ;
pected coxswain was then observed, alone, and |
leaning on the wheel of the steamor, as the man- ,
of-wars heavy cannon thnndred from her ports. ]
He remained silent and stationary until at tho ,
Bocndof the twenty-second gun—ho startled with (
surprise—gathered his officers around him—and
after he had explained to them that the “ cute (
Yankees” had seen through his disguise, ho issued .
his ordors for tho resumption of his truo character; ,
signals were immediately noticed to be exchanged <
with the snrronnding forts, and aud ten or twelve t
Russian ships in the harbor. Tiie star-spangled ,
banner was llion hoisted at tho mast head of the ,
steamor, graoefully playing across the tows of the |
American ship, while overy other armed vessel ,
commenced firing answering salntos. When ,
iheso ceased, and tho flag of the Union slowly (
descended, and Nicholas proclaimed his real pres
ence by hoisting in its stead the standing of hi 3 |
house —the dark doable-headed eagle, on a yel- |
low ground—whose appearance, as if by magic, ,
awoke tho cannon both on the shore and tho ,
bay, producing the deafening roar of 2,000 guns. ,
The self confidence which loads to thjse cccontric ,
movements, characterizes the deportment of the ,
sovereign everywhere and at alt times. Our fan- ]
oies are apt to imagine him always moving in state,
and hedging himself around with guards and at- |
tondants, with all the show end pomp of tho ap- >
pnrteDanccs of tyranny. Suoli is not tho case.— ,
Wby, the elected citizen, the king of Franco, with ]
powers oxpresßly deflnd and restricted, feels sate j
only within his palace walls, or surrounded by his ,
soldiers: whilst Nicholas, the unrestricted and ir- |
responsible despot, maintains, in all his intercourse 1
with his people, the freedom aud carelessness of (
unimportant privacy. He is seen at all hours—in ,
a small single horse sleigh—in an open carriage—
on horseback or on foot nnaocompauiod and un- ,
distinguished, except by those familiar with his ,
general personal appearance or physiognomy, ]
strangers often unaware of his presence pass him •
without respect.

The Missouri Compromise.
The New York Courier & Enquirer of the 8d
iust., contains an Editorial upon the subject of the
Nebraska Bill in which it is contended that t !, e
South has gained nothing by its passage. It says:
“The Sonth has not evou established tho principle
of non -intervention by tho movement,while by tho
repeal of of the Missouri Gompromiu”, if hat lott
three Slave States m Texas." The editor adds:
“In short, they (the South) have swept down
all the barriers against sectional encroachment
which were raised by tho wisdom and toil of oth
er days, and opened the way for bare majorities in '
future Congress to rule as they list. They have 1
given new energy to tho resistance against tho 1
acquisition of Cuba. They have taken from the
Compromise oflßso all its moral force as a com- ]
pact and made the Fugitivo Slave Act tho subject j
of fiercer controversy and more violont opposition
than ever.”
The Courier <ft Enquirer in times past has man- |
ifested a spirit of justice towards the South which
entitles its able conductors at least to tho respect 1
of onr people. Still we cannot assent to the cor- <
reotness of any ono of the above propositions. 1
We believe tho South and tho country have
gained largely by tte passage of the Nebraska '
Bill. The phraseology of the Bill is distinct, posi- 1
tive and unequivocal. It gives to the people of 1
the territories tho power to settle tho question of 1
slavery for themselves. It is shear Bophistry to
declare that tho section allowing foreigners to vote 1
in the primary elections amounts to intervention. 1
The repeal of tho Missouri Compromise wo re
gard as a signal triumph to the South. The clause
repealed was nothing more nor leas than an enact- 1
ment abolishing slavery north of 88d. 80m. It '
prohibited its existence thore, and all slaves car
ried thither by thoir masters were, ipso facto, freo.
Is it cot a viotory for the South to be ablo to blot 1
each an enactment from the Statuto Books of the 1
Conntrv? The Courier 8s Enquirer scorns to think
that this compromise was a platform on which all
parties could stand—that it was something sacred
which oonld only have been destroyed by profane
hands.
It is indeed a great pity that the people of tho
North did not think of this saoerodness of the
Missouri Compromise when they resisted its ap
plication to both Texas and California 1 It is a
wondrous pity that their sense of justice and their
regard for sacred oompacts did not prompt them
to extend the line of thirty six thirty to the Paci
fic. The plea is too shallow. But the Editor of
the Courier & Enquirer says he will advocato a
repeal of the repealing clause, and tho re-estab
lishment of the Missouri restriction. Ho oven in
timates that bis Northern allies will go farther—
that they will not bo satisfied with any thing short
of the repeal <f the Fugitive slave Law and the de
struction of the Compromise of 1860.
All we have to say is:
14 Lay on MacDolT.”
If the North iB resolved to pursue tho course
indicated—4f she will persist in excluding Southern
men and their property from a fair partioipation in
the pnblio domain—the common property of all—
the sooner the Sonth knows it the better. There
are hundreds and thousands of men hore, who
have heretofore stood by tho Union, but who
wonid promptly unsheath the sword on such an
issue. Indeed the Sonth wonid be a perfect unit.
The robbery wonid bo too bold—too barefaco to
admit of a moment's hesitation. In thatjeTent
majorities wonid be powerless for tho injured
party wonid had defiance in the teeth of the ad
versary—they would not stop to count the,value of
tho Union.
The great and redeeming feature of the Nebaska
Bill is, that it gats rid of sll compromises. It
establishes a great principle—the principle of self
government. It takes the whole question ofsla
very from the hands of corrupt men in Congress,
and places it, nnder the constitution, in the hands
of the people. It leaves each of the compromise
measures to stand upon ita own merits, ar.d all we
have to say is, that if tho fanatics of tho North wish
to raise the question of repeal, so far as the Fugitive
Slave law is concerned, let them rate it. They
will at least have consolation of being burled in
the grave of the Union.
We advise onr friends of the Courier & Enquir
er to keep 0001, and to temper tho Northern senti
ment to a softer standard. The Missouri restric
tion mill notbere established ; nor milt the Fugitive
Slavs lam be repealed. The compromise of 1850 is
stronger to-day than it ever was. The fugitive
law is stronger at both the North and Sonth, than
it ever was before; the very scenes of murder and
treason recently enacted at Boston will exert a sal
utary influence upon popular sentiment, even at
the North. We are not concerned for the fotnre.
We think there is still virtue enough left at the
North to quell the wild spirit of fanatical madness.
If not, the Sonth can easily take care of herself.
She has the labor, the resources and the products
to become agreat, & powerful, a prosperous and
independent nation.— Savh. (four.
Nxw Annexation Pbojeot.—A letter from
Washington says the State Department has receiv
ed despatches from Mr. Greig, the United States
Consul at Honolulu, to the effect that the King of
the Bandwich Islands had renewed the application
to be annexed to the United States, either as a ter
ritory or a State, and urged an immediate deci
sion, on the ground that England and France were
pressing him to such an extent that unless the
United States interfere promptly, there would no
longer be an opportunity of doing so. Mr. Greig
replied, that he was without any instructions on
the subject, or power to act—but he ultimately
consented to open negotiations, as a private indi
vidual, subject to the approval or otherwise of
his government. It is expected that the result of
these negotiations will reach Washington city in
the course of a month, and that they will present,
directly, an application for admission into the
Union, unless, indeed, some unforseen difficulty
should arise in adjusting the preliminaries between
the King and Mr. Greig. It is understood our
Government is wholly uncommitted in the matter.
Another letter from Washington, says : Impres
sions in relation to the contemplated annexation
of the Sandwich Islands are fully confirmed. The
negotiations have been industriously pushed for
ward ibr sometime past, and a treaty annexation
is expected by the President, in the next despatch
es from Hawaii. It is fully believed that tne ar
rangement had been so perfected at last advices as
tobe safe from future accident.— Sack, Sep.

down Main street from Smith, where they bad
been to hear a street preaoher, they were sudden
ly fired upon from the windows of the Irish booses
on both sides of the street. The number shot is
variously stated. One speaker said he saw two
dead bodies carried off, and another saw 7. The
wounded are stated at 40 to 80. Another version
says 40 to 80 killed.
The Amerioans after being attaoked returned to
Catherine street Ferry and many suooeeded in get
ting on the boat, while others, numbering 100,
were left behind in the Ferry House, whero they
are now imprisoned, the ferry boat having stopped
running, and the Irish having blocked up the oth
er side.
At the meeting in the Park it was resolved that
those present arm and proceed by Brooklyn, by
other femes, to release their oomrades. The vote
was carried by a unanimous shout, and the orowd
proceeded to Grand street ferry. A gentleman
who passed down Main street at 6 o’olock, before
the Americans came along, says that the street
was then Ailed with Irish, armed with stones,
clubs, pistols, bottles, Ao., awaiting the approaoh
of the Americana. All aooounta concur that the
Americans were walking quietly along, paying no
attention to the groans and hisses with which thoy
were first sainted.
Nrw York, 11 P. M—The lose of life at Brook
lyn was greatly exaggerated. Only two persons
were killed, one a policeman and the other a boy,
who was shot through the forehead and instantly
killed. Many were terribly injured, especially tho
Irish, who resisted the police. Large numbers of
Irish are under arrest. The Shields Guards did
uicsofCmoricans aro on guard, and the rest at tho
Armory. Two Irish companies took arms from
the Armory, and marohed ont with orders, going
to South Brooklyn, away from the soene of the
riot. A collision between the military is feared os
the companies say the Irish troops shall not enter
the Amory again.
The Amerioans shut up at Catherine street ferry,
got over safe. All now is quiet.
Wi copy from the New York Courier & Enqui
rer of Monday, the following account ol the Brook
lyn riot :
Riot and Bloodshzd in Brooklyn—The Milita
ry Called Out—Great Excitement.— A terrible
soene was enacted in Main street, between Water
street and the Catherine ferry, last evening abont
dusk. A number were shot and many more were
badly injured with clubs and stones.
The cause of all this was the appearance of a
procession of New York Native Amerioans against
whom tho Irish located in the above neighborhood
had a grudgo, in coußeqnenco of the previous
Gunday’s pro/oodings. Tnis was the cause of all
the disturbance.
As had been announced on Bund&v evening of
last week, a preacher, attached to the Primitive
Methodist Church of Bridge street, appeared upon
tho lot on tho corner of Smith and Atlantio streets,
at ,the appointod time and delivered a sermon.
Hia namo is Jos. Folger, and he was aooompanied
and assistod in the exercises by the trusteos and
officers of his church.
The text was part of the 2d verso of the 15th
chapter of St. Luke, “ This man reoeivoth sin
ners from which he argued that Christ preaoh
ed to all kinds of people,—to mixed multitudesof
different faiths, such as were gathered here on
this occasion. Previous to the sermon, a pravor
was made, in which the hope was expressed that
all these people (round about) might be made bet
ter instead of worse by coming there. The ser
vices passed off quietly, no disposition being
evinced to molest the preacher or disturb tho pro
ceedings.
The procession from New York arrived some
time before the sermon commenced. They num
bered probably about a hundred or more, three
abroast, and marched and oonntormarchod up and
down Atlantio street awaiting tho arrival of tho
preacher, when they came np and stood
until the sermon was over, wheu they pro
ceeded down Smith street towards tho Catherine
Ferrry in tho sarao order that they came.
From 12 o’olock noon a orowd began to assem
ble, and about 5 o’clock it numbered ovo 6,000.
Thi Mayor, the Chief of Police and the whole dis
posable force under their command were present.
By the exertions of the Mayor the sidewalks were
kopt clear so that people could pass unmolested,
and not, like on previous occasions, be compelled
to go around the distance of several blocks or run
the risk of the consequences. Ho deserves great
credit for tha firm stand he took and the prompt
ness evineed in seeing his orders exeouted.
Daring the afternoon there were some slight
disturbances on the corner of Smith and Atlantio
stroete, in which a number of white hate were
knocked off, but no further damage was done.—
The offenders were promptly arrested.
The Now York procession on proceeding down
towards the lorry were followed by a large orowd.
They walked in an orderly and peaceable manner.
An occasional hoot or oheer greeted them and that
was all until they reached Main and Water streets.
Hero, and streets leading thereto an immenso
orowd had congregated as about half of tho
procession had passed Water street a general cry
was made by the Irish, “Hip, boys, hip," “Now
go in,” “Come on boys" and with that came
showers of stones, stioks, and brickbats, levelled
at the New Yorkers. A grand rush was now
made, but the line of the procession remained un
broken, and marched to the ferry house gate, and
entered with military precision. As they were
assaultod, thoy fired pistols at those who strnck at
them, and it is probable that abont thirty shots
were fired. Several were shot; one a bov, and a
man who tell upon tho pavement, apparently dead.
Somo five or six were snot, and a great many more
had their heads, arms, and legs broken with clubs,
i’istols were also fired from house tops, and stones
fell like hail in every direction. The New
Yorkers wore within the gates, and as they wore
being pelted, they fired a number of shots at the
orowd without. One of the ferry boats took off
a load of the New Yorkers, but the pilots of the
two remaining boats, seeing what was going on,
would not enter the dook but stood off during the
continuance of the riot. They finally entered the
slip, and all there not arrested wero permitted to
take their departure.
The police had hard work. Thoy had to fight
like tigers. No matter of what oountry, (and many
of them are Irish,) they did their duty manfully.
When one would attempt to take a man into cus
tody, he was sure to be beaten with clubs, and
several wore badly hurt. They also used their
clubs freely, and knocked down all who resisted
them, when they could do it.
The military came upon tho ground after tho
disturbance had ceased. They had been stationed
at the Armory daring the afternoon, awaiting or
ders. The Mayor came with them, and as he
walked down Main street read the Riot Act. The
Sheriff also appeared upon the soeno of action;
aud the military were stationed so as to prevent
any further outbreak. The mob was oleared away,
and quiet was restored. This was about 8 o’clock.
The regiment on doty waa the 14th, under Col.
Jesse C. Smith.
In the confusion that prevailed it was impossible
to ascertain if any one, or bow many were killed
or wounded. Two are reported dead.
A German named Brock, was tripped up and
had bis thigh fractured. Nine persons at the Hall
were badly ont, and their wounds were dressed by
Dr. Daniel Ayres. Five were more or less injured.
There was a gathering in oar own oity in the
evening of Amerioans, at which several persons
from the soene of events in Brooklyn appeared and
addressed the crowd. After a few brief speeches,
a portion of the crowd left for Brooklyn, bnt quiet
had been fully restored before their arrival.

The San Antonia Western Texan learns that the
drove of oattle, males, Ac., [en route for Califor
; nia,] owned by Messrs. Post and Hedges of that
' oity, ware attaoked by the Indians about one hun
dred and ten miles this aide of £1 Paso. Two men
' were killed, a few woonded, and 176 head of cat
tle driven off.
This evening. May 17th, says the Western Tex
an, we received the news tnat several Indians
crossed the San Antonia river abont thirty miles
below our oity, and stole ttree American horses
from the rancho es Mr. Flores. In tho vicinity of
thoir route from tho San Antonia to the Medina
river has been found the dead body of a Mexican
boy, eighteen years of ago. He was shot evident
ly by the same party of Indiana on their way
down.
The Western Texan, of tho 18th, learns that the
Indiana have been seed in several places In the
last few days in the vioinity of tho Atosoos. Many
cattle have been killed, horses stolen, &0., and we
expect every day to hear of moro of their cruel
depredations. They are now having fine times.
Wud Cat is at the Dead of all this, and wo beliovo
that the Mexican nation holds about the same po
sition with these Indians that England held to tho
Amerioan Indian tribes in the United States and
Canada during the Revolution aud the last war
Howev®r, we will not go ao far os to say that M«x
too offers these Indians a reward for eaoh scalp,
but we know they have great inducements held
out to them; aud aa for Wild Cat, he is now re
turning his compliments to our Government for
the many favors they havo granted him, and he.
no doubt, expeota that we shall sooner or later
purshaae his friendship by giving him “big heap
of money;” and, regarding his treatment hereto
fore, he has very plausible reasons to expect this.
An oxpress has at this moment arrived, says a
communication to tho Victoria Advertiser, bring
ing news of five hundred Seminole aud Camanche
company of mustangere, traders, oitizsns and sol
diers. Several were killed when tho express loft.
He left them fighting yesterday evoning, and sup
poses all will be killed. They first attacked a oom
pany of twenty-five soldiers, and killed all but two,
and then immediately surrounded the mustangors
and traders, who were pushing to the rolief of tho
soldiers. Tho express says he thinks thirty Mexi
cans aud five or aix Americans were killed in the
company of mustangere, besides the soldiers near
by. The oxpress is a Mexican who made his es
oape by running through the Indians after all hope
was left. He says his horse was killed under him
and he mounted and Indian’s horse near by and 1
saved himself. Several other scattering squads are I
also killed in that vicinity, and one family. The <
Indians wore heard to say during the fight that 1
they wonld kill everything and desolate the ooun- I
try to the Rio Grando. This report is generally 1
believed here, and considerable exoitement pre- 1
vails. J
The oorn crop in the lower part of this county
looks fine. It was generally planted early, and h
ita promising oondition shows tho importance of q
oarly planting. In the upper part of tho oounty “
much of tho oorn was planted comparatively "
late, and does not look bo woll. There, rains t'
have not boon so seasonable as in tho lower part y
of the oountry. «
Cotton generally looks well whero it was planted I
in season. Late cotton does not look bad, except H
in Boms particular localities. Taken together, the p
crops of the oounty look woll, and we may oxpeot d
a good yield of both cotton und oorn. a
At this particular time, “things in general” in b
these regions on tho Lavaca and Navidad look u
encouraging. There is plenty of good grass, and h
corn,and cotton, and all other crops aro growing v
finely. *
t
Critical and Alarming Situation of the Inhabt- o
taut, of Zanlo aud Cephalouis in the lonian
I.landa.
Events of tho most painful nature are occurring
in these sunny and once happy islands, and mise
ry in its worst form is preying upon thoir indus
trious and heretofore thriving population. This is
tho fourth year that the current orop, tho staple
product of these islands, has failed, and tho natu
ral consequences of this failnre is tho destitution of
all classes, high and low, rich and poor. These in
dustrious agriculturists, who have boon poor at
best, havo generally lived on the crop that was to ]
come ; their prosont calamity, therefore, finds them
altogether destitute, and their sufferings are most v
intense. And yet woro this all that thoy aro at
one time callod upon to suffer, their oondition c
would be comparatively oasy. To destitution, how- "
evor, the lato troubles m tho East have added scar- Ic
city, and this ciroumstanco renders their conditien
still more distressing. These islands are dependent
on Russia for thoir grain, and on Turkey for all other
previsions. From these ports all exports are now
either prohibited, or rendered impossible by tho
unsettled state of the country, and the immenso h
armaments which absorb all available piovisions. n
The general stagnation of business also whioh B
must follow suoh a state of things, adds to tho h
numbor of the sufferers as well as to the poignancy
ot the sufferings. In short these poor people aro <>
now suffering all that penury, war and famine w
oan jointly infiiot upon man. li
Suoh an aoeumnlation of evils is seldom the lot e
of one community at one and the same time. Tho
position however, of these people, is rendered n
still more oritioal by the faot that these evils aro of t
such a nature aa do not admit of any immediate I
relief. Not only there appears to be no osoape for 3
them from their present painful position, but their o
circumscribed situation, their own internal condi- r
tion, as well as that of tha neighboring continent, «
rouoerits continuation ItTTa long ported of tizfie «
most probable. With them no telegraph an-. r
nounoea to a wealthy neighbor tho wants of a dy- 1<
ing community—no railroad poure plenty from the
fruitful West. Theif oondition is destitution and
misery, surrounded by the soorching sands of tho
dosort ; with the future looking more dreary and
dark, if possible, than tho presont. Despair stareß
them in the face, and all they can do is to compose ,
themselves and wait for death to relieve thoir auf- ~
ferings.
Thk Turkish Army.—A private correspondent at
Shumla, writing to a friend at Constantinople, un
der date of the 9th of April, says :
“In my quality of friend to Turkey, I have very
bad news to give you. The passage of the Danube
by the Kusaians was a thing to be expected, nor is
it at all prejudicial to the ulterior operations of the
Ottoman army. The consequences, however,
must become injurious to the Sultan’s cause by the
indifferennco, the incapacity, and want of taot on
the part of his own officers. Circumstances of a
very disastrous naturo accompanied tho retreat of
the Ottoman forces, in the shape of pillage, Ares,
destruction of all the villages of the district of Do
brudsoha by the Bachibozooks. The Russians
crossed the Danube at Hirsova, Matchin and
Tooltcha ; there was an engagement only at the
latter place; one battalion only boro the whole
brunt of the Russian forces, and it sustained their
attack behind entrenchments, with admirable he
roism, for twenty-four hours. The few who sur
vived wore made prisoners of war by the Russians,
who also captured nine cannons. The rest of tho
army of the Dobrudscha is placed under the com
mand of Mustapha “aoha, composed often batta
lions of Turks, and ten or (Egyptians,) of one regi
ment of cavalry and with thirty-five pieces of can
non, with an abundance of Bachi-bozooks. Ho
has retired upon the Karasoo near to Bhumla,
where he arrived yesterday afternoon.
“This retreat ot Mustapha Paoha has been ac
companied bv a general devastation of the country.
On the sound or the first cannon the Bashi-Bo
zooks dispersed and led the retreat, pillaging and
burning all the inhabitants whom they met, Mus
sulmans as well as Christians, without exception,
so that tho regular troops which followed them
only met with ruins. Unfortunately, Mustapha
Pacha, commanding the corps of Dobrudscha, him
self gave the original ordor to set fire to the vil
lages, under the pretext of Ibuß leaving nothing
for the enemy. The retreat was made with very
great disorder, especially at the outset. Selim
Pacha, commanding the Egyptain troops, was
greatly indignant at the conduct of the Basbi-Bo
zooks and at the apathy of Mustapha Pacha. Ten
battalions lost would not do so much harm to Tur
koy as their conduct, and the incapacity of some
?ichas. All the province of Dobrudscha, as tar as
ani-bazaan, is literally destroyed. Civilized peo-
Ele, on hearing these facts, will lose their sympa
ly for Turkey.
In a later letter the same correspondent says t
“The Bachi-bozooks, who have pillaged and de
vastated thejprovinoe of Dobrudscha, are severely
punished. Omar Pacha has had all the culpable
brought to Shumla, where they daily arrive in
numbers of five, six or ten. They eaoh receive a
strong dose of coup d* baton, amounting from 800
to 1,000 per bead, and after this pumshmont he
does not send them book to their oomrades, bnt
puts them among the regular troops. Omar Pacha
has these fellows caught without regard to any
grade. A day or two since, a chief of the Bachi
bozooks received 1,000 blows, and that in the pre
sence of all his subordinates at 8b umla. Howe ver
sovore this punishment may appear, I yet believe
that U Is necessary to keep these half-naked sav
ages in order. Indeed, they should all be incor
porated into the regular army.
Arrival o» the Florida.— Another Halt Water
Fugitive.— The steamer Florida, Capt. Woodhull,
arrived here at a very early hour yesterday morn
ing. Among the passengers brought by the Flo
rida was a fugitive slave who had attempted to es
cape from Charleston. He had secreted himself in
the coai bunk of the Charleston steamer Nashville,
but having been discovered in his hiding place,
the Captain of the Nashville, transferred him to
the Florida off Cape Lookout, and he arrivod heio
yesterday morning. The negro says he belongs

Cholera in New Yore—Twelve Cases ox
Cholera.— The city inspector reports that the
whole number of deaths fast week was 415. This
shows an increase of 105 over the number report
ed for the corresponding week of 185 S. As usual,
consumption takes the lead in the work of death.
The report says consumption 67, convulsions 88,
still born 85, dropsy 27, fevers 49, inflammations
82, marasms 21, apoplexy 10, small pox 10. But
the most alarming feature in the report is the num
ber of deaths from cholera. It now appears cer
tain that the dreaded visitor has come, and it is
time to caution people to be careful in their choice
of diet and mode or life. We hope that the disease
will not become epidemic, and that in order to
prevent its becoming so, the authorities will take
prompt and effectual measures for _ cleaning the
streets and abating all nuisances noxious to health.
The inspector reports that during the week 12 per
sons died of cholera, 12 of cholera-morbus and 5
of cholera infantum. The number of deaths from
dysentery was 18, and from diarrhoea 7. It is said
that all the victims of cholera were of foreign
birth.— Com- Adv _

route permanently located; and we are assured
that in twe years at the farthest the road will be in
P»rfe«t running order. Whed completed this route

considerublo sensation. But wo ovor estimate it.
Out of a small oirole, how soon we shall bo forgot

The gay will laugh,
When thou artgoue,the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each on e as before will share,
His favorite phantom.
2. The world will go on without us. We may
have thought a vory important wheel in tho great
ruaohinery will bo ungeared when wo ure gone.—
But the world goes cluttering on as if nothing had
happened. It we filled important stations in socie
ty ; if we had wondered wbat would or oould be
done if we were removed ; yot how soon others
will fill our stations I Tho world will be a bust
ling, active world without ua. It was so before we
entered it. It will be bo when we are gone.
8. When we are dead, affection may erect a
monument. But tho head that sets it up will soon
bo as powerless as ours, and for the samo cause.—
How soon they that weep over us will follow ua l
The monument itself will crumble, and it will iall
on the duet that covers u». If the marble or gra
nite long endures, yet the eyes of affeotion will not
ondure to read the graven letter... Men will give

On my grassy grave
The men of future time will careless tread,
And read my name upon the senlptured stone;
Nor «i!lthe sound, amiliar to their care,
Beeall my vaniabed memory.
4. When wo are dead our influouoe will not be
dead. Wo loave opitaphs upon indestrnctable ma
terials. Our manner of life has been writing them.
We have stirred up fhougbt aud awakoned emo
tion. The wonderful-machinery of mind has felt
ourpresenoe. We have pressed the stamp of our
character into the warm wax of our moral sensibi
lities around ua. Our plaoes of business, our so
cial resort may know us no more; but living ac
countable beings feol the influence that involves
our personal departure. _ .
6. When wo are doad the kingdom of God will
not die. It did not depend on us for existence.
And onward will it go when we have (leased to
live. Happy, indeed, if it had been the honor
and joy of our labors to havo promoted it. Bleat
ed is it to bo remembored as having loved Zion, as
taking pleasure in her stones, and favoring the
dust thereof.
Saered, consoling thought. Tho kingdom <H
Christ moves on, when wo drop our earthly re
lations to it. Other servants of God will risa Mr
fill our places. A brighter star may rise for th*
one that has fallen. Strongor hands than ours
may come into the ranks.

will our survivors thiuk if it marked our diame

ponder it. And thoughts how many, and hoW
comforting, will riso amid tho panga ot real sorrow
over our depaituro, if we had shown forth tbW

Daniel Gorman, of the ship Jessy, from Limerick,
was on hi* outward voyage, and when about for
ty-five miles Southeast of the Island of Anticosti,
during a thick fog, and surrounded by field ioe,
he b sard the report of a gun. Supposing it to be
a signal from another vessel near at baud, he caus
tho fog bell to be rung, to avoid a collision. In
about twenty minutes the fog cleared off, and bis
ship was found to be close to a piece of ice, on
wbioh lay in view the body of an Indian extended,
and still bleeding profusely from a wound in the
chest. He was quite dead, and not far from him
lay the body of another Indian, with a dead seal
alongside of him. The first poor fe How it is con
jectured despairing of the relief from certain death
by starvation, had just put a period to his exis

They probably went out together on the field ice

Hokjud Mdbdebs on Lono Island.— A triple
murder of a moat diabolical character was perpe
trated at Culeiiogue, in the town of Boutbbold,
Suffolk County, LoDg Island, last Friday night.—
Mr. James Wickham, a farmer, and formerly a
merchant doing business in Hew York, his wit*
and a negro .ad, are the victims. Nicholas Dane,
an irishman, who had but a short time prepfously
left the employ of Mr. Wickman, is suspected of
being tbe perpetrator of the horrid deed. There is
no doubt but that be intended to prurder the whole
family, and then fire the dwelling. Provider tialfy
the servant girls awoke, aud effected their escape .
from the premises, thus saving their own lives,
and to some extent frustrating tne designs of the
villisn. The excitement in the neighborhood of
tbe cetaetrophe is intense. It is some thirty years
since a mnrder was committed there, and the peo
ple very naturally are in greet alarm. The whole
region ia up in arms, and vigorous measures havo
been adopted to capture tbe m urderer, who bed,
npto Sunday, succeeded in eluding hie pursuere,
though known to be lurking inthe
