Fancy Dali at Madison fcprlngs.
Madison &?bing&, Aug. 10, 1654.
Medtrs. &iitore :—lt is ceediefes for me to at
tempt anything like a description of t is place to
\cn, for you aa well a* all others that have been
here, remember well ita cool shades, fine waiks,
»nd pare atmosphere, and health giving water.
My object in writing is to furnish yon with an
account of the Giand Fancy Bali on the Stb. It
was far more brilliant than any one ventured to
hope. Dazhne beamy, sparkling wit, and mirth
fu! fancy, combining, gave joyoua revelry. The
ball room was bfilliantly lighted, and at half past
6>ght the guests commenced assembling. First,
I noticed among the Kpectatora present to witness
the show, (for Messrs. Editors, mart allow
me to begin as they arrived, or else I shall not be
able to remember half the crowd,) Judge Lumpkin
of Athens, Judge Starnes of Augusta, Dr D’An
tignac, Dr. Dugas, mad Gov. Schley of Augusta,
all of whom were specially invited gnosta ; besides
various other gentlemen from all portions of
Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Ala
bama.
And now Jet me present the intelligent, witty,
and handsome Mrs. K—, of Beaufort. You may
be sure she eauaad shouts cf laughter, as she en
tered the room dressed as the wife of an old Eng
lish yeornan, “all of the olden-time.” She was
leaning on the arm of Dr. F ,of Macon You
must permit me to mention here Dr. P’s dress; for
it would be too unkind to separate so unique a
pair. Their dress corresponded well. I can only
describe them by saying they were vast in dimen
sion, hug* in rotundity and separatively antiqua
ted. Both sustained their characters admirably.
And could you have seen this happy couple, as
they plodded through the dance, you too would
have been convulsed with laughter.
Next came Mrs. A—, of Coiumbws. She ap
peared as the Morniug Star. Her dress was gos
pamir—three> kirtaedgad with hiu*. ric l U
£ied —a crown of stara upon her head and as Row
ing white veil. Her dress, form and mauner com
blued rich taste, perfect symmetry, and winning
fascination.
The next was Miss Y—, of Mississippi, as Mary,
Queon of Scetts. Dress, black velvet trimmed
with ermine, open in front, showing white satin
skirt. liei deep blue eyes, fair gentle f ee, and
quiet manner brought back with vivid recollection
the sorrows of tho unhappy Cjeen she so well re
presented.
Then Miss G—, of Mobile as Flora, dressed in
white Urleton, three flounces edged with white
satin ribbon, looped with flowers, hair decked with
flowers. Her bright sparkling eye, pretty fAce,
sylph like form, as she moved through the mazy
dance, seemed iudeed as if tho Fairy Quoen had
left her sylvan bower, to join in tho revelries of
the night.
Miss P—, of New York as a Spanish Senorita,
dress pink vilk skirt, black velvet bodice, black
flowing veil, pearl ornaments. Character well bus
tained.
Miss H—, of Charleston, Rich Fancy Dress.
Miss D—, of “ Swiss Broom girl—dross
white skirt, blue and white striped body.
Miss P—, of Charleston. Peasant Girl, dresa
white, trimmed with pink, and pink cap.
Miss R--. of Boaufort, an a little Sultana. Double
skirt of salmon and blue organdie, full bodice of
white laoe over salmon—turK n corresponding.
Miss McL—, of Portland Maine, as Helen Mc-
Gregor. Dross artan silk falling above tho an
kle—confined at tho waist by a silver belt in which
were a brace of pistols, scarf crossing the breast
and fastened at the shoulder with a gold clasp,
falling to tho floor. Nock and arms bare. Upon
tho head a highland bonnet with oaglo plume—on
the left arm a shield—in tho right hand a sword.—
This character was sustained with groat dignity
and propriety by this highly intellectual lady.
There were a great number of other ladies, who,
though not in costume, wore too attractive to be
passed by in silence. There was Miss T., of
Athens, whoso queenly beauty is alike renowned
both North and South. Miss L —tand Miss W—,
of Macon, whose t odeat demeanor and rare ac
c »mplishmontfl combine to render them charming.
Miss C—k, cf Athena, Miss M—n and Miss W—,
of Athens, Misses fc»— ar.d M—, of Augusta, Miss
S— of Macon, and many others, too numerous to
mention. Indeed, Messrs. Editors, a prettier col
lection of ladies never was assembled in Georgia
or elsewhere.
Now allow mo to speak of some of tiio most
striking costumes of the gentlemen, for ihor
were some of them that well deserve notice.
Mr. N—, of Macon, Rhoderic Dhu.—Plaid kilt

Smiß, the Caljornia Pionesr.— Wo gather ’
some interesting particulars concerning this re- <
markable man, trom a communication in a New I
York Frenoh paper, by a Pole, M. Holcnski, who 1
visited Mr. Sutter a tew jears since. He found <
the “Old Captain,” as Sutter i« familiarly called, i
though less than fifty, and freah and youthful in i
appearanco, a very agreeable and talkative com- 1
ranion. He ie engaged in writing the memoirs of
nia varied and adventurous career. Iu showing, i
hia guest his possessions, which were very ex- 1
tensive, he remarked, “Bat for the discovery of
geld I should uow he a very rich man.” The
writer says:
Jenn A. Batter, in whose mill-race the dis
covory of gold in California was made, is a Swiss
by birth. He was a lieutenant in the Swiss Regi
ment of Charlas X., and saw service at the revo
lution of ISBO, when he was wounded. After the
defeat, an exile of hia royal master, he came to
this country, and first settled in Missouri, where
he became naturialiied. He then wont to Oregon,
across the Fiains, then to the Sandwich Islands,
and thence, in 1389, to California, where he estab
lished himself at the junction of Feather and
American rivers, and called his place New Hel
vetia. Nearly the whole country was then occu
pied by Indians; but by one means or another, he
succeeded iu iuducing a large number of them to
work for him, and he lived among them aomething
like a sovereign.
When the Americans came to the country, and
war broke out, he took sides with the Mexicans.
When peace was established, as he had no other
title to hie immonse domains but ocerpancy, and
*a most of his Indians deserted him, he could not
continue to occupy the land, he found himself
speedily reduced from a great proprietor to a sim
ple farmer. He still, however, entertained am
bitious aspirations, and was a candidate for tbe
Governship of California. He was defeated, but
*n electioneering he uegiootei his private affairs,
and found it expedient to sail New Helvetia and
seek another residence. He betook himself to the \
vicinity of Marysville on Plume River, and called
, his new home Hock Farm. There with a com
[ potency, and joined by hia wife and children,
after twenty years’ separation, ho is leading a
| quiet rural life.
j Circular Saw§.— Jas. Slater, of Macon, Ga.,
j has taken measures to secure a patent for an im*

i to make the saw in auch a manner as to relieve

the edge of the saw are cct out, at pieces opposite
to one another, and the saw is so arranged in rela
tion to the crank pin of the engine, that ita tee.h

while the said pin is passing the dead points.

Stewart county has subscribed about $1*25,000 in

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1854.
From an Occasional G-trespondent of the Courier
dt Enquirer.
Gossip From Turkey.
Constantinople, J uly 18.
I had scarcely closed my last letter, when we
of the death of the gailent young Irish offi
cer, Butler, to whom I alluded in that letter. Yon
will doubtless have received, ere this reaches you,
full particulars of the deeds and the last moments
of the young man. We have had information of
another death—aud of a f ersonage usually consid
ered loftier too—but it has not effected us so much.
Intelligence recently arrived here of the sudden
demieo of Abbas, Pacha of Egypt, and has pro
duced very little excitement. The deceased Pacha,
indeed, seems to have been no amiable ruler, and
to have been quite as little estimable as a man.—
Save the doubtful merit of permitting the English
to have uninterrupted passage through Egypt to
the:r Indian domains, he is said not to have pos
sessed a solitary virtue. His enernice, in fact, re
present him to have been stained with every crime;
but we must remotnbei it is foea who so delineate
him. He ia succeeded by a younger son of Me
hemet Ali, and is supposed to have been cat off
by pniaon. The present ruler is an older, but it
yet remains to be seen, whether ho will prove an
abler man. Hitherto he has disclosed none cf the
political wisdom which characterized his great but
guilty graxidairo, (the ruthless destroyer of tho
Mamelukeß,) nor of tho fire of his late eider broth
er Ibrahim, one of the fiercest Islamites that ever
crossed a field.
flis death will produce a little change upon the
Porto. A few months ago he sent an envoy to
treat for the marriage of his son with one of the
Sultan’s daughters, out great was Abdul Modjid’a
wrath to learn that he was only to pay about $600,-
000 for the bride On your aids the water, matters
are managed othf vwise; here, however, it is cus
tomary to pay for a wile. I griovo to say it, but,
from tho highest to the lowest, woman is hero a
saleable commodity, and the deceased Pacha was
considered to have offered a very shabby price for
a daughter in-luw of such exalted origin, borne
persons iudro l aflLni urn tho Sultan seut him a
bout string in return, ua the only reply worthy such
an uubaU.-dji.nGry offer, aud the disappearance of
oce of + ►*brr*- xtt~ r dan’s of th* n»l
>*'*, m. ?’ ’bra marl of imperial atmet.ot if
supposed to have been applied to the Egyptian
neck, is considered to corroborate the scandal. But
I attach small credit to the rumor, us Abdul Med
jid has hitherto shown little partiality to the rerne
diob o! cithor sack or bowstring. Few of the la
dies of the harem have as yet enjoyed the one,
and there is no satisfactory proof that any of his
satrrpN have till this moment been cut ofl by the
other. Tho non-receipt of the money, however,
has* lod to postponement of the marriage of anoth
er of the prolific Sultan's family with a bod of
Redschid Pasha. Redsahid who was once a jour
nalist, but is now oue of tho most powerful por-
Bouagcs in the Empire, is either a very thrifty man,
or labors under that proverbial poverty which has
long been characteristic of tiro noble Order of the
Quill. Hence, he was to pay no coin for the honor
of tho proposed alliance. But what he could not,
or would not, givo in money, he was ready to bes
tow in 44 malt.” In other words he was to lend his
vigorous assistance, and tho bonoflt of hia vast
European knowledge to the Porte in it* present
emergency. Tho Sultan, however, was to pay all
the expenbos of the marriago and, so exhausted
at present is the Imperial Treasury, that the de
scendant of the Prophet was unable to defray the
ocst of its celebration.
Redschid of coarse, indignant or disappointed,
stand? aloof, and the friends of Turkey havo roa
son at this moment to deplore his absence, or the
want of some equally vigorous mind; for never
was the country in a more critical position, or suoh
aid more required. The blunter* which tho Porte
commits are incredible. It has just consummated
its tolly in virtually coding tho disputed provinces
to Austria; by committing the still grestor error
of wholly abandoning the control of its armios to
the allies. Pronch and English officers are to be
appointed to the comnir.nd ot the native troops,
troui tho rank of Generai down to that of the
lowest subaltern. In return tho Porte is to receive
the nominal advantage of having theso forces clad
by French woolens and supported by British pay ;
but how long Louis Napoleon may be in a humor
or position to fulfill tho fo.incr part of the agiee
ment, it is impossible to sry. There is little deubt
howuvor that, though John Bull will at first
demur to this revival cf the costly days of “sub
sidizing,” ho will be constrained by his govern
ment to contribute to the U*t. sut in con
tingency—and in fact whother the two Powers
perform their part of the agroemont or not—the
independence of Turkey is virtually signed away;
and henceforth it must occupy a position scarcely
loss degra led than that of those provinces in India
where the unhappy uutiv provinces havo beou
compelled to accept the equally futal gift of Brit
ish equipment, British officers and British pay.
Meaiitime the war lags slowly on, and little or
nothing seemingly will bo done this year. As for
Sevastopol, it is s*fe from miratiine attack as ire
any of your inland cities. A short time ago 1
visiiod it, and nothiug can exceed its strongth. A
relative of mine in the Crimea, being in enfeebled
1 ealth, 1 readily obtained a pass ; and, being
happily connected with no party, the Jiussians
received me with all that courtesy which they
profess, and pay, to science—science over whose
head the storms and the frowns of war, they re
cognize, should pass innocuous. By the com
mandor’s spocial favor I was permitted to visit the
citadel, and it surpassed all that I had previously
dreamt of in tho annal of warfare. Tho channel
is so narrow that only one vessel can enter s'; a
time ; and twolvo hundred guns issuing from four
largo forts of three tiors each, frown defianoe and
throaten destruction on all who have the hardi
hood to approach. The mouth of the harbor is
moreover defended by six or seven largo vessels,
which would most effectually rak i any ship at
tempting to onter ; and even if all theso impedi
ments should fail, an expedient remains benind
for clos.ng up the port by an impassable chain, bo
that if tho allies with their whole fleet endeavored
to force a passago through, they would be effectu
ally arrested and hurled in wi d confusion on each
other. Theso forts, so far from being more briok
and mortar, i.s represented by tho English last
winter, are built of granite, strong and massive
Beemingiy as the primeval rocks ; and the rooms
in which tho guns aro worked, instead of being,
according to the same veracious authorities, so
narrow and ill-ventilated as to threaten the in
mates with suffocation, aro largo and ample, and
constructed in conformity with tho most approved
rules of modorn fortification. The ships of war,
indeed, in consequence of the gross peculation
which ox.sts in all Russian affairs, are not so ably
or efficiently constructed as ours, or oven those of
tho English and French. They may possibly !>©
open to all the objections and the contempt which
tho allies freely cast upon them ; but why, it may
be asked in return, do not these Rigualize their
courago by an attack on a foo whom they describe
as so unprepared 1 Does not the very oircumslanoe
of bis aUef?ed weakness only cover them with
additional disgraco f
It is Beemingiy equally idle to talk of assailing
Sevastopol by laud. The place is, indeed, vulner
able in that direction, as it apparently possesses
no adequate defences. But a Russian army of an
hundred and fifty thousand men is present on tho
Crimea, aud if any such comparative handful as
tho English and French fleet oau bring should
disembark, they will be hurled, writhing and de
featod, back with the words, “Why came yo to
Sevastopol ?” ringing in their ears. Thoy may, it
is true, by ranging their fleet around the narrow
neck of territory which separate** the Crimea from
the t. niuud, endeavor to cut off the Russian sup
plies. I n Iho spring and early part of the summer,
this might havo been possible; but it is fast be
coming impracticable now. The fogs which will
in »x weeks arise from the bowom of the Euxine,
will so obscure them that they will not see fifty
yards from their ships, and the equinoxial gales
will bo so terrible that these cannot possibly hug tho
shore. So well aware are even the Russian ladies
of these facts that they jeericgly inquire “when
Masters Bull and Frog is to come,” and thoy gene
rally add some remarks which aro moro compli
mentary to the gallant propensities than to the
military prowess of the English and French. The
Crimea is the favorite watering place of the higher
order of tho Russian noblesse. Many of those como
down from Mosaow daring the summer, as your
citizens repair to Staten Island, or the English to
the Isle of Wight; and it is superlatively amusing
to listen to tho small talk of the ladies as they lave
their limbs in the lovely waters ol the transparent
tea. Most ot those beauties, tiro representatives
of tho old Muscovite aristocracy, aro eminently
witty ; and, I regret to add also, they aro eminently
profligate.
The friends of Russia may therefore maintain
perfect security as to the safety of Sevastopol, and
while it remains in her possession, she will assur
edly dominate tbe Euxine, aud threaten Constan
tinople at any time she feels inclined. A sail of
three days will at any moment bring her fleet
down on the devoted city, and some maroauvre
suoh aa this will assuredly be attempted should the
allied fteota bo crippled by any abortive attempt
upon tho stronghold. It is this consideration alone
which can excuse their inaction ; bat no snch sat
isfactory explanation can bo offered for their con
tinued idleness in the vicinity of tho Danube.—
Tho Euglish and French troops are there lying in
superior numbers within a few marches of the
Russian?; yet no preparation is .made, nor oppor
tunity sought, for attack. Meantime, is
decimating their ranks. The watcrmeior.a and the
marshes are now cutting thorn dowa by hundreds,
and so soon as the oxpoc*od cholera arrives, it will
carry them off by thousands. Jealousy, too, is
ereeping into their presence, for the forces of the
respective armies are obliged to envelop their co
lors in oilskins, as they bear upon them inscrip
tions by no moans agreeable to each ot or. “ Wal
cboren” is a very unpleasant reminiscence to the
j Englishmen, and “Waterloo” is not less repog-
I rant to the stomackß of the French. Tho Russians
are wall aware of theso facts, and they relish them
i amazingly; for it is an utte- mistake to suppose
that this nation is but half civilized. 8o far as 1
i have seen them, they are inferior in astuteness,
penetration aDd refinement, to no race whatever.
; The Czar, of course, wiil profit by the whole, and
turn every contingency to account. Ido not my
* self choose to indulge in the folly of political pre
diction, but if you have any sportiDgmen amongst
you, I should reoommend them to back the auto
crat as wiuner of the prize. Ismail.

The destruction of has opened very
grave questions. According to advices lately re
ceived, the place has been UtaHi poseeeion of un
der the orders ot the British Atoiral on the West
India station, who has
holding it until the question <* jurisdiction shan
be settled between Great Bridiei and the United
States. This act ie constmed <0 be m violation 01
the Clayton and Bnlwer Convution which binds
each of the two great contractHigparties not to oc
cupy, colonize, or fortify any art of Central Ame
rica*. The deetructi >n of thd settlement on our
part was not in violation of that Convention, bo
cause wo did nM attempt to r /am possession of
tho cite after burning the tow J. eui bravery
is equal to our magnanimity aad power, the Exec
utive will **f course promply t 1 measures to ex
pel the British intruders, and to terminate their
occupation. It may be proacmed therefore that
Captain Hollina will immedixtolj be despatched
to San Juan, with a powerlul squadron, and
with orders to compel the present occcupants
of the place to vaeuate it, and il necessary
to sink and burn their ships. A bloody aud de
cisive naval battio in the i>ay Oi 6an Jnan thas ap
pear* to be inevitable. Any coarse lesa summary
end energetic than this will Bfijeot
tratien to the reproaon of truckling to British pow
er, under a provocation strong enpugh to call for
summary vengex.ee when tb® aggrasoion came
from the weak and defenceless.
The bo in bard me at and bur p igof Greytown is
assumed by the official orgauj^f'*justifiable act of
hostility against Great Britax . in vindi'at.on of
the Convention of April Id, l|u\. It is contended
that the town government of Sin Juan was oalab
lished and organized under/a grunt from the
Zatnbod chief called the King Mosquito, which
wj*» signod by tho British Ibnaul. Tho con
tin nance of the British Proton,orate was evinced
in this aot of the Consul. Thsextirpation of the
settlement waa necessary $$ up the pre
t rare, and re-aseoVfdtv.ri; ‘ hda; yon -
v orion. The pro pt . f i 1:1‘. :~;h :r.<
authorities in tha West Indies is, upon their part,
clearly an acceptance of the issue. Xf the Home
Government approve their conduct, a eft-rus belli
will certainly have occurred. Nay, it may be more
truly said, that war already exists by tho acts of
both parties.
The charges of piracy, lawless violouee, and of
intentional insult to an ambassador of the United
States agaiust the people of Greytown, have been
abandoned by the Government-. Investigation has
proved tho com, —into of the Transit Company
undeserving the serious attention that has beer,
given them, and the report of Borland that he
was 44 insulted,” untrue. The citizens wii! there
fore bo indemnified by act of Congress, though it
ia probably that several millions ot dollars will bo
extracted from the Treasury in satisfying their
claims.
Tho protest of the Nicaraguan Minister haa been
answered by informing him that the j risdiotion
of that State over San Juau is acknowledged, and
that the expulsion of the squatters and the burn
ing of their tenements was neoessary to assart it.
The claim of Nicaragua has always been denied by
Great Britain while exercising her protectorate
over the Mosquito shore, $ pretension now two
centimes old. To iho frequent representations
and remonstrances of the Nicaraguan government
in this matter, Lord Palmerston always replied in
a note of four linos, to the effeot that “IlerMa
jesty’s government cannot do anything admitting
a doubt that Grevtown belongs to tho Mosquito
territory covered by Her Majesty’s protection.”—
Tho Clayton and Bulwer convention was made,
and by that instrument Great Britain bennd her
self to abandon that nrotoctorate. But she does
not abandon it, and M r * Clayton subsequently ex
plained that, under the convention, she was not
bound to do so; that n fact, a wrong construction
had been given to the treaty, and that so far as the
question of territorial jurisdiction was concerned,
the treaty waca -:pad letter. Mr. Webster took
the sums view, bat reobmmonded that Greytown
.-honld be mutually regarded aa a froo ocuimorcial
town, subject to no foreign jurisdiction. This
proposition was acquiosced in by Great Britain,
and the town grew and flourished under tkat tacit
arrangement. This was a practical, just and most
statesmanlike adjustment of the difficulty. Tho
British government h*B been preparing to extin
guish all her obligations to the Mosquito Chief and
his people- growing opt of the relat ions of an ally
and protector which she had sustained for two
centuries towards them; whsn tho ruffianism and
the blundering diplomacy of Borland, and tho
unaccountable prociiitaucy of tho Administration,
intervened to abstract this amicable settlement of
a diffionlt controversy, and to bring on a state of
things which may lead to the most serious results.
This Government affects now to consider that
San Juan and Musquitia belong to Nicaragua, al
though it is bound by tho treaty of 1850 not to
decide between the claims of the Central American
States to this territory, to the prejudice of any of
them, but to use its good offices to reconcile their
diflsrenoes g owing out of this dispute.
In the meantime thp unfortunate Amerioan,
German, French and native residents and citiyona
of Ban Jnan are ground to powder between the
upper and nether irillstono. They accepted a
charter under the actual or tl d« facto ” Musquito
Government and the British protectorate. The
United States says “why did you not take a char
ter from Nicaragua ?” The reply is firstly becanee
Nicaragua was not the actual governing power,
and secondly because * c could not decide her
claim to jurisdiction to be better than Costa Rica’s,
and laatfy, because under tho advice of the Amo
rican Government we thought it prudent not to
recognize any foreign jurisdiction whatever. This
is not satisfactory, responds tho Pierre Adminis
tration, and forthwith Greytown i» reduoed to
ashes, and its inhabitants made houseless wan
derotsln the woods and jungle? of the coast.
This is a sim t e and truthful history of the
affair, and if it is not creditable to the wisdom,
the justice or humanity of our Government, the
fault is in those who now conduct it.

Important Facts about the Greytown Affair.—
Wo invite particular attention to tho facts »tatod
in the following extract, taken from tho Washing
ton correspondence of tho New York Journal of
(kfwmerce. Thoy will show how inoxensabie and
unmindful of the laws of nations has been thecon
daot ot the Administration:
Washington, August 7.
Mr. Marcoletta, the Minister from Nicaragua,
lias entorod a strong and pungent pretoat. against
the wanton and outragsons assault upon, aud de
struction of, the town of San Juan de Nicaragua,
—a town claimed to be within th© territory and
jurisdiction of the Nicaraguan Kepubiioan. Mr.
Borland himself, in hi» letter to Mr. Maroy, states
that the United States Government had acknowl
edged the toveroiguty of Nicaragua over the Mna
quito Territory. Os coarse, the United States go
vernment should have sought redress from tho
Stato of Nicaragua, instead of tho destruction of
the town of San Juan. Again, it San Juan was
not within th© jurisdiction of Nicaragua, then Mr.
Borland had no right to protection iu his diplo
matic oharactor in that town.
The apologists for Mr. Borland an i the Admin
istration insist that Greytown was & piratical tovtn.
This is the only pretence got up in justification of
its destruction. Now, then, there are those now
hero, who aro really entitled to credit, and who
have had raueh experience in various communities
and countrios, aud who have been often in Grey
town, and were there within the last four months,
who assert that se a sober, quiet and orderly com
muuity, it has no superior «v*n in tho United
States' We have official men, and private indi
viduals of undoubted integrity and intelligence,
who are ready to inak© good this assertion oefore
the Government or a Committee of Congress.
We may add that tho act of burning the town
cannot bo extenuated on the plea that the inhabi
tants were pirate©, because, as has been remarked
by a contemporary, our Government had recog
nised the legitimacy of tho authorities of Grey
town by maintaining a commercial agent there.—

Dcdlbtmuje, Ala., Aug. 6, 18 54.
Mr. Mditor.—Presuming that the det&dofthe
discovery of a plan by which can be rs pidly
and easily made is never uninteresting to tho
readers of a newspaper, I set about giving you a
ahort account of the way matters move alo g
amongst us denizens of the rocky hills of To) »-
poosa.
Early in tho spring, a gentleman of the nun of
M ilnor, from Georgia, formed a company for ihe
purpose of tracing out the vein of Copper whivh is
supposed to take its coarse from Duok Town,
Tennessee, through this region of country. Ope
rations were at onee commenced; abundant sur
face indications, resembling in every particular
thoeo of Duck Town, were found ; ana a shaft
sunk, a short distanco from this village. 1 think
as yet nooopper has been found, though the indi
cations are eo good as to induco the belief that
oopprr does exist here, and to ©no' nrsge the
;urt*.or progress of the work. Th© digging is now
suspended, but, 1 learn, Is to be recommenced so
soon as the heat of the weather wiil permit.
Prof. Tourney, our accomplished State Geologist,
is now making exploration of the country, and, I
learn, pronouncta the indications identical with
those at Dnck Town. A shaft has also been sunk
near Oak Bowery, in the adioiniug county of
Chambers, with what success I have not learned.
The search for copper led to the discovery of
gold, on a »ractof land lying on Tallapoosa river,
now belonging to Messrs. Berr, Morgan and King.
All three of these gentlemen possess considerable
experience in mining, and are sanguine in the
hope of realizing, In a ve*y short a fortune
for each out of their discovery. The vein lies upon
a email branch, which r«ns along from the adja
cent pine woods over a bed of trap rock, and
empties into the river. From $2 to $5 per diem
are got out by each hand. Os couroe it must pay
much better T han this, when the proper arrange
ments have been made, and rain falls so as to
supply a sufficiency of water.
Another rich deposit has been found on the
adjoining plantation of Mr. Wm. Kashin, which
will soon be worked. A panful of earth taken
from the river side, on Mr. R.’s place, yielded up
wards of fifty particle**.
A largo number of hands will soon be employed
in this country getting out the metal, and the
barren hills of old Tallapoosa will become tbe s©
oond Eldorado. The weather is exceedingly dry
and hot. The corn crops are ruined. Cotton is
promising, but also wants rain. D.

Terrible Railroad Accident.
CHABUOTTxaviLiJt, August 15.—This morning the
freight train left Greenwoou Tunnel at sunriee,
end when it had proceeded abont four miles, was
thrown from the track dj the obstruction which
had been put there by some bend-like assassin.
Large rocks were rolled down and placed upon the
track, and sills and rails were laid for some dis
tance—several hundred yards. The grade of the
road is 76 feet to the mile where this shocking
affair occurred. The Ingineer did not see the ob
structions until it was too late to atop the train.
He reversed the engine and remained at his poet"
getting injuied seriously. The fireman, a young
man named Wm. Nnnnaily, was instantly killed.
The engine, a new one, the William Overton
which cost about 19,000, is injured abont $4,500!
Snapicion rested upon two persons living in the
neighborhood, and they were arrested arid exam
ined, but no proof nas been elicited sufficient to
cause their detention.
The accident caused a delay to both traina the
down train about seven honrs, and the up train
between two and three. Passengers end baggage
had to be changed, as the traina could not pass by
the ruined looomotive on the Lrack. J
It is to be hoped that the authors of this act will
ne found ont and punished. wm

The Kiiot mt St. Louis.
The Bt. Louis papers of Wednesday and Thurs
day last contain additional details of the riot in
that city. The conflict booths to have bteu con
tinued throughout Tuesday and Wednes ay, cud
was not finally queiled until the regular police were
disbanded by the Mayor, and a police force, com
posed of citizens, organized to preserve the pexuse.
On Wednesday night everything was quiet. The
papers differ as to the origin of the riot. The
Republican throws the blame of it upon the Irish,
who, it says, 44 to the number of three or four
hundred surrounded the polls, using loud, angry
and inflammatory language and winding up by
stabbing a boy.” The Intelligencer ou ins other
Bide says: “It is impossible to state with aocuiacy
precisely how the thing began, or with what party
the blame of commencing it lies. Tho fact is, tb*u
people had been prepared to expect a fight on elec
tion day; many were armed iu anticipation;
fuel was there, and the first accidental spark kind i
led it into a fearful flame.” It further says:
“ There was r*o especial hostility to anv particu-
Hr nation, class, clique, or creed. The Irish were
attacked because the fight happened to bo com
menced by an Irish rowdy ; had it been a German
who struck the first blow, no doubt tho fury of
tho mob would have boon directed agsinst the
German, end *o on. To suppose that there was
any premeditated anti Irish or anti Catholic fool
ing at the bottom of it, is us wo have maintained
from th first, a great mistake.”
Tl.e Republican in its issue of tho 9th instant
gives th* following:
Further Particulars of the Riot. —Wo are
enabled to give a more definite account of tho ter
rible riot which took place in this city oveuing bo
faro last. The killed numbers three, and the dan
gerouaiy wounded three or four more. An inquest
was held yesterday over tho bodies of two men at
the health office—Joseph Freeman, a CaMidi.-tu,
who was shot ou tho lovce, near the intersectio of
Morgan streot, and John Garvey, an irishman,
who was shot in an alloy running from Washing
ton avenue to Morgan street, und James Fagan,
stabbed near the intersection of Washington ve
nue and Third street, and who died at. the Sisters’
Hospital last night. These arc all the known killed,
J jlii Dpv.ghctty years of ago, -n Irishman.
i■. c: : MS, iC Sfroi the log ,i
gan, head y beaten, and not e*o ctod to
recover. Patrick Kinney, leg broken, and ampu
tation thought necessary. Daniel Mulligan, living
near the corner of Riddle and Seventh str< eta, shot
through the u domen, recovery doubtful. Post,
an auctioneer on Broadway, stabbed by Cooper,
who is no* in ja'd. Jackson Fowler, shot in tho
side, not dangerously. James Russell, shot in tbe
arm, wound slight. A number of others received
slight wounds, but from the fact of their having
participated in the riot, thoirs aro bent secret.
There was a large number of disturbers of the
peace and rioters before the Recorder yesterday
forenoon. George Western aud Timothy Lynch,
ffr disturbing the peace at the poll.", were lined
SIOO oac .; John P. Cooper, charged with an as
sault to kill, bftd his case continued ; 11. Doqgkcr
ty, Martin Sullivan arid Comciius jfolfey were up
for rosistiug officers—cases continued. Six per
sons were called to answer for riot, 11 being ar
rested lost night—John Sheppard, George McGin
uis, Charles Chartviile, a slave of Kingsland and
Cuddy’s, Phillip Porter and another person. The
cases of all w ere coutinuod.
[The intolligoneer then gives a list of ovor fifty
houses, principally German and Irish taverns and
boarding houses, tyhicu weie sacked or destroyed
by tho mob. lu addition to these, a number of
houses had windows broken, signs pulled down
and tho inmatos frightened off. Tho damage was
confined almost exclusively to a low order of sailor
boarding and drinking shops, scarcely one of which
woro left unmolested.']
During yesterday, and up to a late hour la t
night, no further serious disturbance has taken
place, but it was evident from the constant passing
of large numbers of persons through tho strce’ .
that Lh • excitement was not altogether allayed, a*, d
vory properly tho Mayor again cailed out the mil -
tary at dark. Two or three companies of foot, and
one of cuvalry were on duty at a late hoar, and
doubtless this precaution prevented a second out
break,
Arrests aftor uark were numerous, and before
10 o’clock the calaboose was pretiy well filled. Five
persons woro bioaght in by tho police, three
charged with exciting tho iiot. ’ One man was arm
ed with a formidable bowio knife, and at the time
of the arrest was trying to excite a crowd on Mu'u
street; ho had a Htono in each hand, and a club
under his arm. A second person was brought in
with stones in his hands, and a third similarly
armed ; a fourth was all bloody and had his head
severely cut- At a late hour last evening a man
named John Desmoino was stabbed on Green
street and taken to tho Hospital.
During yesterday and last night the most im
probable rumors wore afloat, which s rvod to
agitate th public mind. It was reported at one
time that from two to three thousand persons
had collected near tho head of Groen street armed,
and determined on revenge—this rumor was un
founded ; again it was said that tho Irish had col
looted in great force in the suburbs, and were
waiting for night to make an attack upon tho city.
This whs a great absurdity ; nevertheless it did
not want for channels of communication and was
freely circulated.
Os tho various exciting tales afloat there wns not
tho least foundation for any, and the day. ai d the
bast portion of tho night passed over without any
disturbance even deserving tho name of row.
Mobb Fighting. —At about 11 o’clock in-t night
a collision took place on Groen, near the corner of
Sixth street, between a party ol' American and
Irishmen, resulting in the death of one man and
the wounding of six or seven others.
From persons who woro on tho ground at tho
time, wo learn that a party of Americans woro
moving out Green street, when they were fired
upon by a body of Irishmen collected i*t the corner
of the street. A number of shots woro tired in
rapid succession, resultihg in tho deulh, h* before
stated, of one man, an Irishman, name ! Morris
Loo, who it is supposed was accidentally killed by
a ball fired by his own party. He was taken into
a drug store at the corner of Morgan street, where
ho died in a few momenta. He stated that he had
been iu St. Louis but three days, aud was in no
way concerned in the fight.
The wounded were taken to tho same drugstore,
and to physicians’ offices in the neighborhood.
Wo saw and couvcrsed with four. A. G.Tic®,
American, badly wounded in both 1-gs and
shoulder, besides being shot in the hand. liis
physician counted twenty-five buck-shot holes on
his person, the wounds, howevor, not considered
dangerous.
Thomas Ferguson, a young man 25 years of ege,
badly wounded in tho shoulder, and in the legs;
tho wound in the shoulder thought dangerous; his
wounds woro inflicted by buck shot. Ferguson
resides on the corner of Aahloy and Collins -itroots,
and works in one of the maohiuo shops in this
vicinity. Mr. Michel, a trunk manufacturer, rmd
ly wounded, having three or four shots in tho legs
and arms, and one through the thigh; he was
suffering gro*t pain—considered dangerous.
John Nelson, tobacconist, lightly injured, having
one or more shots in tho shoulder. Mr. Holiday,
rnembor of tho Continentals, seriously hurt, hav
ing x shot in tho thigh, and other injuries—he was
taken to tho office ot Dr. Boislmore, w here his
wounds were dressed. A boy, whoso nemo wo
did not* learn, war, badly hurt, but was *»•..■ quickly
taken from the ground that no one know who feu
was or whence no was taken.
So far aa could be ascertained there were seven
wounded and one killed, ns we nave g ; vcn above,
although rumors current stated tho numb r much
greator. Capt. Blackburn of tbo Continental*, and
one or two privates of his company receive i slight
wounds. The military did not arrive until after
the firing ceasod, whan, to frighten off rioter-* who
might bo larking around, thoy fired n volley or
two.
LaTSr.— One o'flock, A. Jf.—A report has just
re&chod our office that tho fighting is still going on.
A donse crowd is collected at tho corner of Ninth
and Riddle stroots. Firing has been <!■ ne there,
and E. R. Violet, a we'd - nown iron merchant of
this city, has been murdered. There i~ no doubt
about the death of thiß gentleman—cyo witnesses
inform us that he was walking along tho -trout,
with another citizen, when he was shot down.
Mr. V. has been taken to his hotel a stiffened
corpse. Tho firing came from a ho so on the
cornor of Biddle and Ninth.
The man who it ta supposed shot Mr. Violett
wa* arrested and taken to the calaboose. A large
horse pistol was found in his possession an i about
two pounds of powder and bull. He gives his
name as Timothy Lyddon, an Irishman.
At the corner of Broadway and Ashley streets
two mon were shot down about 1 o’clock. One wo
understand is John Faley, Lieut, of tho Night
Police, and the other a Mr. Snyder, a coffee house
keeper of the Sixth Ward. Snyder is dead, and
Falcy it is thought cannot live. Severe! others
were badly hurt at that point. Wo know uotwhere
this thing is to end. While we write ut half pa*'
1 o’clock, the fire beil3 arc to.ling, and tho street
aro filled with excited citizens. Policemen are
“ rapping” in every direction.
Riot and bloodshed ia the order of tho night—
what the day may bring forth wc dare notsuv.
The Republican of Thursday says:
Peace Kestobed. —We arc happy to bo able to
state that up to 11 o’clock lust night, the city wa.*
perfectly .quiet and peacouble. Very ibvv y r <>ns
were on the streets during tho evening. y‘c m tii.g
thn special police, and they had then i • •'•ot»ion
to make arrests. We just met a cava u.tdo of the
one hundred and twenty mounted men who wore
making & circuit of the lateiy disturbed parts of
the city.
In their round they met perfect quiet —a solemn
calm seems to have overspread theoity like a man
tie of mercy. The contrast with this time last
evening is great. It is in fact almost incredible to
contemplate a perfect calm after so terrible a storm,
accomplished in the few intervening hours. W e
now feel warranted in announcing that, in all pro
bability, a perfect quelling of the riot has been
accomplished, and that our citizens may fear do
more bloodehed.
The Riot et St. Louis—The Sglit kept up Four
Days.
According to a telegraph despatch, the riot in
Bt. Louis was not finally quelled until Saturday
last.
The St. Louis Democrat of the 10th inst, thus
notices the events of the preceding night:
After this renewal of the night’s disasters, as the
news spread along the streets that still turther
blood had been shed, and that some of our bet
citiaena had been killed, the excitement commen
ced raging again, and a large crowd of per-'
lectod along Fourth street and s’tried' with
stooliflg, . m
shed
The spectacle of tho infuriated masses mo-.Wo
swiftly along firing pistols in the air and venting
the loudest oaths and exclamations against the
Irish, while the fire belis of the citv were ringing
and shouts were heard tTom all parts of the city
was a most exciting and terrifying scene—quite
enough to alarm one, that the reign of terror in
our city was just reaching its heigi t and that but
one drop of blood had been spilled where there
were thousands demanded by the excited masses.
A company of about five hundred men during
the after part of the night, formed themselves in
order, and being armed with mnskets which they
had procured, marched up the street to the Bt.
Louis University, where they expected alien
oounter would take place, previous reports ot the
college being fi.ied with arms, ammunition and
belligerent Irish, having filled the ears of the
whole city. But happily no opposing forces, of
kind were m-t, and the company disbanded.
Toward daylight the quiet was general all over
the city. Ab morning came again, reports of the
death of Mr. Violet’, and others seemed to occasion
the deepest sensation. Large crowds collected
around the police office and calaboose and up and
down several of the principal streets, whose sole
topics of conversation were the outrage,, of the
previous night, and the means to be taken to
secure safety and peace to the city.
About 9 o’clock a proclamation of Mayor How s
was posted all over the city, calling the people to
the conrt-bonso at 12 o’clock, m., for the purpose
of consulting abont the best measure to oe taken
to ouel! th. mob and restore order. The meeting
was a very large one, notwithstanding a heavy
mir was falling at the time. Speeches were made
bv Mr Rennet, Mayer How, Mr. Lueasand Judge
Bates, "all of which were most enthusiastically re
eeived by the large crowd.
About ten persons lost their lives during tno
riots. A still larger number have been severely
wounded, The following proclamation has been
iaaned to the Catholics of St. Louis by Archbishop
Kiohard :
Xho tutfersigned most earnestly recommends
i those of the Catholics of the city who may not be
actively employed in co-operating with their fel
low citizens ih preserving order, to remain as
much as possible at their homes, to avoid assem
bling in the stroets aud giving credit to false and
exaggerated rumors, and to rely on the measures
taken at the general meeting of the citizens, held
this day, for the restoration aud preservation of
the public peace. Peter Richard,

Later from Mexico.
i The U. S. Mail steamship Thos. Forbes
ommanding, arrived at her wharf this morning
at 8 o’olock, having left Vera Cruz on the Sth inst,
at 10 A.M.
Wo have received by this arrival files of our
Mexican exchanges to the 8d inst., from the capi-
I tul, and Bth from Vera Crnz. The news is impor

from the strict control that the Government exer
cises ovor tho press, the particulars of tho differ

following from our exchanges:
On tho 15th of July last, Santa Anna grautod to
Don A. ,1. Atocha an exclusive privilege for tho
construction of a raiiroad and telegraph from El
i’aso, or from l’reaidio dol Norte to the port of
Guaymas, on the Gulf of California. Mr. Atocha

years from the time of running the line, or in fact
within fifteen years from tho granting of the priv

cept such as may bo necossary for the roadway
and stations.
Tho political situation of the country is becom
ing daily more complicated, and rmucra of the
most alarming character to the Government, to
such a degree that on tho 29th nit., a decioo was
issued in tho oapital, declaring that all persona cir
culating false or alarming news, or that Bhould
censure tho acts of the Government, shall bo ar
rested as a conspirator, and .üb.iectad to a fine of
A desperate battio has been fought between the
Government troops and tho Insurgents at Mount
Limon, but the papers containing the particulars
have not oomo to hand. From what we can gather
by subsequent reference to the affair in the Vera
Crnz “Echo,” it appears the Insurgents, under the
command of tho intrepid Faustino Villalva, had
established their headquarters on the summit ot
Mount Limon—(the geographical position of
which mountain wc wo pot acquainted with);
thoy were attacked by a : ection of Government 1
troops under command of Col. Felix Zuluaga, who ]
completely routed thorn, four hundred being left ;
dead upon the field, among whom was the brave, i
but unfortunate Villalva. A large amount of corn, j
ammunition and camp eqhippago fell into the 1
hands of tho Govoruinflnt troops, fho date of this a
affair, or tho number of troops engaged, is not i
givon. The nows of tho victory reached tho City v
of Mexico on tho 22d ultimo, and was received a
with great rejoicings. t
A division of troops undor tho command of Col. li
Francisco R. Moreno, about the hiuuo date, en- v
countered a largo body of the insurgents between
Ayutla and Ajuchitlau (near the southern oxtremity s
of Guerrero) and completely routed and dispersed n
them. v
Tho first of those victories, the “Echo” remarks,
is of vast importance, aud will go far towards the
re-Oftablishment of peace in tho Department of
Guerrero, to which end tho ISupromo Government
has made suoh noble exertions.
This nows being the Government account of the
battles, should be received with great caution, as
il may turn out something like Blanco’s paper
victory at Cerro I’orogrino.
It is also stated that a detachment of 200 light
troops of the lino, under command of Col. Antonio
Gomez, surprised tho rebels, who had risen against
the Supreme Government iu the village cf Coctzal,
oii tho 18th ultimo, by snrroundingthe place in the
night tlmo. Twonty-ono rebels with armain their
hands wero taken prisoners, and four persons
who attempted to escape by running woro fired
upon aud woundod.
Among those taken was a guerilla chieftain
named Joso Quirino, who, it is slated, aside from
having served as a soldier iu tho army ot Alvarez,
hs been employed as a constant spy upon the
operations ot the Supremo Government and the
authorities of that village. Tho nocossary stops
had already been taken, suys tho “Echo,” to ad
judgo tho delinquents and havo them punished;
which moans that a drum-head court martial was
held on t he spot, and tho poor fellows shot by the
magnanimous soldiers of his magnanimous Bo
rene Highness.
Tho “ Echo” of Vera Cruz published in an extra,
on the evening of the 4th inst., tho following tele
graphic dispatch irorn the city of Mexico :
Mexico, Aug. 8, 1854.
“The Count Raousset do Boulbon, who lately
disembarked at Guayamas to place himself at the
head of tho Fronch who had already arrived there,
and onlistod in our army, with whom he raised
tho standard ot rebellion, und pronounced against
tho Government, was defeated on the 18th ultimo
bv Gen. Yauez, to whom ho surrendered, with 200
of his compatriots, in which he lost 46 of his men,
killed and wounded.”
this dispatch is signod by Blanco, Minister of
War, and is addressed to tho Governor of Vera
Cruz. Wo hope it is more veracious than some of
the previous dispatches of this officer.
Tho “Eco,” iu commenting upon this occur
rence, felicitates tho General Government upon
the success that attends its energotic measures for
the conseigyttion of tho public tranquility in all
parts of the country, and remarks, “ Tho lesson
they have received at Guyamas will not bo lost on
these bands of adventurers who havo fixed their
nging eyes upon our country; especially when
hoy are made to understand that they may expeot
Irum the energy of tho Supremo Government tho
chobtisoment they so richly deserve.”
Further among in our exchanges we find that
tho Corro lixuju, where the first battlo spoken of
'took place, had been besieged for sixteen clays by
the troops of the Government, at the end of which
timo it was “heroically” assaulted and taken by
storm. Tho rebels being put to flight and pursued
by the victors for several miles, very few succeed
ing in effecting their escape.
In roward for tho valor displayed by the officers,
and troops under their command, in storming tho
Cerro Limou, Santa Anna has promoted Colonel
Felix Zultnaga to tho rank of genoral, breveted
the ramainder, and recompensed the soldiers in
kind.
We havo alroady received intolligonco, byway
of tho Rio Grande, that a revolution had com
menced in Victoria, the former capital of Tumauli
paa, headed by u young lawyer, named Juan
Garza. Il is attracting considerable attention in
Mexico, tho pronnneiados having adoptod the plan
of Ayulta, promulgated by Alvaroz. So soon us
the nows was received at Tampico and Matamor&s.
a strong section of troops from each city marched
on Victoria to quell the movement, and tho latest
news In regard to tho state of the insurrection re
ceived in Mexico, were that the insurgents had
fortified themselves in Victoria, with two pieces of
old iron cannon, which had been long since abuu
donod as useless, and some old small arms. They
aro represented to be without money nnd muni
tions, and there was not the possibility of a doubt
that thoy would soon be overpowdored and rocoive
the punishment they merit, fwhioh of courso
means that they would bo shot.) And, indeed, it
would seem they have but a slim chance, for
several battalions of troops, besides tho two from
Matamcros and Tampico, havo been ordered to
Victoria, from Ban Luis Potosi and other adjacent
points.
In tho States of Oajaca, Chiapas and Vera Cruz,
and in fact throughout the entire South, those
formidable filibusters, the locusts, aro carrying
everything before them, destroying the crops and
making a famine inevitable.
We find in the Mexican papers no nows of any
kind from Acapulco, or from Gen. Alvarez.
In Michoacan alternate advantages are reported.
Tho troops of the Government had rocaptured the
town of Zitacuaro, and the insurgents had driven
the Government forces from Puereporo and Urua
pun. The Governor of Michoacan has proclaimed
laws of the most severe kind against thoso who
should disturb public order, and several execu
tions aro announced.
Ponalla, in the State of Chiapas, hud also pro
nounced in favor of Gen. Alvarez. The Govern
ment woro about to attack them.
The Diario Official has a long list of active move
ments of troops, but these seem to be mostly con
fined to paper.
Rousset de Boulbon is announced as having ar
rived at Ganymas, and it is stated that he had vis
ited Gov. Yanez und offerod to resido in the coun
try as a peaceable citizen. Many of tho men who
wore in the former expedition under his command,
und that afterwards wont there to join the Mexi
can army, ore stated to have joined him.
The Universal announces that troops were being
sent from the capital to Sonora, as that depart
ment is threatcued by tho Count RoeusacL.
A decree has been issued, authorizing the free
importation of a ms and munitions of war by the
port of Vera Cruz aud along the northern fron
tiers.
Another has been issued, authorizing the free
importation of grain into Tabasco, which is men
aced by famine.
Tho Indians are committing their depredations
throughout the States of the Northern frontier.
An occasional grandiloquent account of their de
feat and utter extermination ia published, but they
seem to have numerous lives, for they reappear
at some place not far distant from tho scene of
their annihilation. A letter from Chihuahua
gives the following said picture of its condition:
The country is devastated, the crops destroyed,
the estates ruined and lost, the herds and flocks
are the prey of the Indian, and a thousand dangers
peril the life of man. The ranchos and haciendas
find no assistance from the towns, aDd miaerj,
terror and desolation is slowly penetrating on all
sides.
A decree has been issued by the Supreme Go
vernment declaring that all males botweon the
ages often and fifty years must arm themselves
for the defence of their families and tho country.
Farm servants must be mounted and armed at the
expense of their masters.
In 'he states of Durango and Zacatects great
alarm had been caused by the appearance of large
and well armed bands of savages. In one of their
encounters the treops wore defeated with consid
erable slaughter, and the official account states that
the Indians were all armed with rifles, and that
they fired and manoeuvred so well that the officer
has no doubt they wero commanded by Ameri
cans. In proof of this fact he states that many of
his men “w jro wounded in the region of the
heart I”
The town of Copainala in Chiapas was almost
entirely destroyed by fire a short time since—77
oases were consumed. Famine is threatening the
r happy people of that department, and the pa
r ers already record several deaths from hunger.
The locust continues its ravages throughout that
portion of Mexico.
It ic stated that a company has been formed by
six gentlemen in California with a capital of $50,-
000, for the purpose of pumping out and working
tho Tajo mine, in the State of Sinaloa. It was
formerly worked by Spaniards, and is reported to
have always been very rich in yield, but was
abandoned during the War of Independence, and
has not been worked since.
Some one having placed on tho array list the
name of Santa Anna with the title of Capt. Gen
eral the President issued a special order to the
Minister of War ordering it to be erased and
“General of Division” substituted. The Presi
dent states that he returned to Mexico only to save
her, and speaks of his services in the War of in
dependence.
Orders of the most contradictory nature aro be
ing continually issued. On one day it is ordered
that all deserters from the army who shall present
themselves before the 28d September shall be par
doned ; on another, prisoners of war, deserters
and even civilians are ordered o be phot.
A sergeant had been shot at Vera Cruz for inci
ting the soldiers to rebellion, and at Michocan a
person who had been secretary to one of the insur
gent leaden* mot the seme fate.
The Sigio states that Santa Anna had negotiated
drafts for one million of dollars on New York at 2
per cent premium.
Yucata.v.— Advices from Madrid to the sth July
had been received. The war with tbo Indians
continued, and the Government troops had met
with several disasters. A corps of 845 men naa
been sent to nt'ack the headquarters of the In
dians at Chan .Santa Crux. The Indians lied, and
the tbira.y troops on entering the well drunk hear
lily of tho water. Very soon the entire command

through the wilderness for a distance ot twentv

Harper’s New Buildings.—The now edifloo of
Harper & Brothers in Clifl street, on lola Nos.
82, 84, 86 and 88, is now nearly completed, and
will be ready for occupation in about a month.—
The building is composed of brick and iron, fire
proof throughout* and is a model strncturo. The
plans aro now, and weredosigned by Mr. John B.
Oorlies, who has the contraot for erecting thiß
budding as woll a l * one of a similar description on
Pourl street, adjoining the abovo in the roar. The
structure on Cliff streol is 112 feet in length, 62
feet in depth, and is six stories in height, besides
the basement. Iron girders and iron beams, sup
port each floor, which is of brick, and arohed. The
window sashes aro of iron, with a simple mode of
ventilation attached. No wood of any consequence
has boon used in the ontire work, and should the
contents burn a score of times, the fire 7."mld
scarcely have any matorial effect upon the muin
building. However, in the event of a fire ooctiring
in any one of the six stories, it could not possibly
communicato to the others, as there aro no stairu,
Dor woll boles in the interior. The conveniences
are abundantly providod outside, there being a
spiral stairway loading from the yard, about the
centre of the rear, running the outire height of
the structure—Bs feet. This has a landing and on
tranco at each story, and to prevent accidents, the
whole is encased by a circular piece of brick work.
The stairs are iron, with iron steps and iron risers.
Besides thin stairway in the yard is an olevator for
hoisting heavy articles to either of the stories.—
The yard is I*o foet long by 28 feet wide, and con
tains the boiler, so that in the event of an explo
sion the result could not be very serious, The
engine, which is new and 60 horse power, will be
sitaatod in the basement. The building iHOneof
the strongest that we have over seen, and when
finished it will bo quite a curiosity.
The structure on the Pearl street side has just
been commenced, and will bo similar to the cne
briefly described abovo, except that it will have an
under cellar, and bo five stories in height. The
length is 180 feet and width 75 foot. This building
will be completed and ready for occupation about
the first of January next, whou the Messrs. Har
pers will be prepared to conduct the business of
their house on a 1 more oxtensivescale than over.—

Flax—The Losses of Ignorance.—lt is certainly
a curious contract that cn one side British India
is exporting £BOO,OOO worth of flaxseed and >hrow
iug away £500,000 of fibre ; on the other, Ireland
is raising to the value of £2,000,000 of flax fibre
and rotting in the steep pools $500,000 worth of
seed! It is Russia alone that has boon benefiting
by the ignorance of the Hindoo ryot and the
prejudices and carelessness of the Irish farmer.
No particle of the valuable plant is allowed by her
nobles to go to waste. She sells us to the value
of £8,000,000 of fibre and £900,000 of seed each
year, and does not even take our manufactures in
return. The Hindoo burns the firbe and the Ul
sterman rots the seed, which, turnod into money,
would buy our manufactured goods and largely
help to free us from reliance on a State whose
political system must frequently lead to a crisis like
the present, and whose commercial policy must
ever deprive us of half the benefits of internation
al trade. —Belfast ( Ireland ) Mercury .

a.andor that would destroy tho reputation, ami in
uoudo tbal would corrupt tho mind. Kvory im
partial and right thinking individual must revot
lit the horrid calumnies that have lutclv boon em
ployed against tho ruler of Enssia and' his family
In a wrotohed monthly organ of Gladstone's, the
C.ianceltor of tho English Exchequer, with whom
they first, originated, it is intimated that tho I ri s
sent Czar was privy to tlio murder of his father •
though any ouo who takes tho trouble oven to re
fer loan almanac, will find that Nicholas was then
but a child of four years old, and that his ago alone
must have exempted him from such a crime. Ido
notthink of reverting to the fact that the assussiu
ation ol Paul can bo tracod distinctly to British or
igin, us any one who consults tho journal of Lord
Whitworth, the British onvay of that day, may
ascertain ; hut it certainly ill becomes tho Kn list
Government now to alludo to such a slander, oven
if it were not wholly baseless. Gladstone, how
ever, is an experienced porsonnge in dealing with
this peculiar species of calumny, and most repre -
hensible modo of attnok. If you will turn to the
records of the nefarious China war ol 18h>— ! i you
will find that, though piotossing to bo u remarka
bly pious man, lie saw no harm whatever ill tho
barbarous practice of “poisoning tho wells,’’ hut
oil Hie coutrury soomod to consider it a- a very
natural and innocent spocies of warfare. His
journal, tho Morning Chrouiclo, has accordingly
boen employing tho same weapons over since the
outbreak of tho present struggle—somotimos in
sinuating that tho Czar was mud, at others that ho
was about to abdicate, on a third occasion that he
might bo removed hy assassination, and, lastly,
that he had hut lately administered poison to his
eldest son in consoquonce of thoro being some
difference of opinion betwoou them concerning
the expediency of the war.
need not toll that all these reports, as well us
thoso which roprosont tlio Emperor as sinking
under tho united effects of guilt, anxiety and re
morse, are utterly unfounded in truth. Both the
Czar and the Czarowiclz tiro ut this moment in tlio
enjoyment of tlio most oxhillirnnt health. Nicholas
may besoen daily at St. Petersburg driving about
unprotected, in a one horse dros.ky, amid tho ao
. clamnticns of his subjects, and the heir apparent
of the empire, but lately returned trom Cionstadt,
wheiw hoiad f ur 3 ome weeks previously been em

Napier’s anticipated uttack, and only quitted when ’
he found thut there was no prospect ol it at prosout
being made.
Wore tho Czar inclined to retaliate in this un
worthy species of warfare, he has ample arrows in
his quiver. The scandal mongers hero assert that
he has undoubted proof that Prince Albert up
wards of fifteen years ago, wont through the
ceremony of marriage to corrupt tho innocence of

The Ernporor of Kussia will never sign a dis ■
honorablo peace. He has vast rosourocs, is loved
by his devoted subjects, and is an extraordinary
man not a miserable tyrant, half civilized, as the
vile rimes and other English pipers call him.
Row different is the course of the French papers,
wliorc you never see any personal abuse ! Kussia
has always been friendly to the United State/,, and
has no jealousies of us ; silo fights in the Christian
cause, though no doubt at tho same time has very
ambitious views. Thoeonquest of Constantinople
would bo in favor of tho Unitod States in every
way as regards commerco and free trade. The
Turk, only as interest dictated, allowed tho export
of grain, but Russia would throw open ull the
trude. Why should we sido with a /ace encamped
in Europe for four hundred years, which has been
treating all Christians as the vilest of creation 1 X
admit that I detest the debased Greek ; at the
same time tho Moslem has none of my sympathy in
this war. It is time tbal their encampment should
be broken up and they expelled. Europe has
boon degraded and has Buff ered long enough from
their tyranny. Attila Genseric, and other barba
rians, were tender masters compared to tho rule of
the Turks.
Religious Revival. —An unusual degroo of inter
est in tho sabjoct of Religion is now being
manifested among our citizens, extending to every
ago and condition. Meetings have beet/ held
nightly for near threo weeks in the Methodist
Courch, and present appearances indicate that
they will be protracted for an indefinite time to
come. That good ma*, tho Key. Samuel Anthony
has labored, almost unaided, with a z-.nl and
onergy worthy of his M.--tor’s cause, and under
his pious ministrationsmany have been gathered
into tho fold of the faithful.
Some of tho wisest and best of men have re
garded these seasons of excitement as improper in
themselves, and injurons to the cause of genuine,
vital religion; yet upon this thero aro wide differ
ences of opinion which every mind must settle for
itself. We trust that in the present instance much
good has been done, and that tho impressions re
ceived m-y long outlast the occasion that gave
them birth.— Wilke Hep.
Religious Revival. —We understand that the
meetings in the Methodist Episcopal Church are
still continued and thatthe interest is apparently
on the increase, tfuitea norni.orof porsoHS have

sual and beautiful solar phenomenon was v.sitno

rg.The sun appeared to no surrounded by seve

appeared and intersected, each other at two Os PC-
S' ,joints. The, inner circumference of tho rings
Within the points <>f intersection were dark, but
havond tbo points of intersection they were lu
minous. Several otter circles and urcs of circles
appeared with tho sun either in their circanife
rence or near one side. Under the sun was tho
appcaranco of an inverted rainbow. Tho phe
nomenon was exceedingly curious and interesting.
The appearance is very unusual in this latitude. It
is supposed to be caused by refractions and reflec
tions of lighten moisture,snowor ice, suspended
in tho atmosphere. One, similar to that of to day,
wan observed in Connecticut, Sept. 9, 1814, and
another ofthe same general character at Jackson,
Tenn., Jan. 1, 1824.
The Millerites, wo understand, regard tho phe
nomenon as a sign ol M tho end of all things,” that
event having been fixed by some of them to come

An Improved Piano.— The Paris correspondent
of the New York Times says: I have hardly space
left to allude to a new and remarkable invention.
It is a contrivauco for giving to tho piano the only
quality it wanted—a prolonged sound. For ton
years has this been sought for in vain. It was im
possible to make the piano sing, by obtaining from
it a sustained note, like the human voice or tho
violii. Thai burg’s greut merit, besides his unri
valled execution, was his manner of at loast ap
proaching, upon the piano, tho sostenutv imlßpen
sable in many kinds of music. The Invention is
very simple, ana is efficient and infallible. The
inventor is M. Alexandre, the manuiacttirer of tho
Orgoe Melodium, and the first specimen of it ia
intended for Li»U.
