Losdom, Dacamber £.
Tie probable terms of the Austrian treaty, and
the bnsinesa to be brought before Pat. lament at
* i s meeting on Tuesday next, the 12th instant, are
the points which continue to oooupy public atten-
I '.i-.n. Fiom Sevastopol there has not been much
important news, but the advices reach to the 27th
of November, and one or two farther successes of
a gratifying kind have been reported.
After the announcement ol Austria having pos
iti ely consented to join the Woeteru Powers, ad
i vices were received from Vienna purporting to
detail the principal terms of the agreement. These,
however, are understood to have been erroneous,
aud nothing of a reliable character has yet trans
pired on the subject, except that Austria has un
_ dertaken to commence olfenaivo and Jefonsive
operation-, unless the Czar shall before the end of
the present montn yield to tho terms required
from him. He moat also, if he desires peace, sue
for it himself, Bince the Powers have not, as was at
first reported, engaged themselves in any way to
present propositions for bis acceptance.
One rumor that prevailed when the Austrian
alliance was made public, was to the effect that
England and France had undertaken, in conside
ration of it, to guarantee Austria in all her existing
possessions. This created much adverse feeling,
since snch a pledge would have involved active
assistanoe to her in potting down now and at all
future periods any rising that her misgovernment
m'ght occasion in Hungary or Lombardy. The
Rpprohoueion on the subject was, however, un
founded, the intention to give any such guarantee

that the junction of Austria with the Western i
powers will not improbably lead to an early peace. 1
They think that the Czar may even have urged \
Austria to adopt the step in order to give him the i
opportunity of yielding on the pretext that against 1
such a combination further resistance would be I
useless. Under this view they interpret all exter- 1
nal signs to suit tbeir wish, no matter how ranch
they tnay seem to bear in an opposite direction. t
For instance, although so far from showing any <
disposition to succumb, the Czar is now sending <
large masses of troops toward tho Austrian frontier •
with more expedition than ever. This, it is argu- t
ed, may br merely a trick to give an appearance of 1
unshakable determination that may operate in pro - “
curing better conditions, end should therefore be '
construed rather as an evidence of his intention to t
treat than anything else. Again, although it is r
mentioned in the Vienna letters that Austria join- f
ed Franco and England with the greatest roiuc- l
lance, and not until she was forced to choose one t
side or the other, it is contended that this relec- v
tance was merely a feint to prevent her intended t
service to tho Czar from being peroeived.
It is needless to state that these are the opinions
of a very small minority. Austria, it is true, f,
is still regarded with distrust by all cl ssee, p
but it is not believed that the Czar has any pre- c
sent intention of giving in. That he wonld accede 0
to the four points, by his refusal of whioh he origi- n
Daily provoked the war, may at length be gathored y
from a formal communication made by M. Nessel- h
rode to the German Courts, but he is well awsre
that what would have sufficed before bloodshed
and expenditure bad been incurred, cannot now
be entertained. The acceptanos at this moment of .
any arrangement which did not virtually involve
hia surrender of the Crimea wonld be fatal to the j
English Ministry and moat probably to the reign t
also of Louiß Napoleon. '
The offer to the German Courts iB looked npon, .
therefore, merely as anotter oi those abortive ef
forts to procure delay oy which the course of Bus- j
sia has been distinguished from the commence
ment of the dispute. It has often been pointed
out that so far from the Czar possessing greatness
of character, and it is his peculiarity to be distin
guished by that worst kind of feebleness—fre
quently obsorved in men of hugh frames who get 6
u reputation until times of real difficulty—which v
results.from obstinacy, without intellect. George a
tho Third was a specimen of the class, although 1
without the coldness, crnelty and unoonscientious- c
ness ot his prototype. J 1
The Cxar, theretore, it is believed by those who > !
take this view, will go on making concessions, but
never to such an extent aB a wiso and bold man h
would at oucc propose lo avoid further disaster,
aud will thus bring about that ruin to bis ompire
which, bat for his ewn existence, could never have
been accomplished.
The latest notifications from Sevastopol consist
merely of short messages by telegraph. According
to these, the garrison made a sortie on the 25th of
November, in which they were repulsed by the
English, who in pursuing them took and kept nos
session of two batteries of seven guns each, which
the Kuhsians iu their flight had not time to spik »,
aud this affair was followed on the succeeding day
by another sortie on the French, ending a so in a
repulse with a loss of &30 Russians, and 75 on the
siao of tho allies.
The proceedings in Parliament in the short sea
son before Christmas are still understood to be
intended to be confined to the necessary votes for
increasing tho army and the militia. The number
of additional troops of the line is to be about
40,000.
The greatest activity continues to prevail in
sending out reinforcements, ammunition, and
stores of all kinds, Bcrew steamers being employed
in all available cases. Tho 500 railway laborers
engaged to construct tho tramway from llalaklava
to Sevastopol are expected to sail in the course of

Postscript.— Tho Spanish Cabinet have resigned,
owing to ibe Finauce Minister having been outvo
ted on the maintenance ot the octroi duties. As
they have really an immense majority favorable to
their general policy, this dilficulty will probably
soon be arranged. By their prompt determination
to resign, they will have added to their strength
in tho eyes of tho people, who are conscious that
they cannot do without them if they would hope
for anything but anarchy. The Ohtmber will
therefore bo forced to retraota its vote, or to hit
upon some ©ompromise. Spectator.

The Journal de Bt. Petomburg of tbe 28th nit.,
announces that Prince Menehikoff, writing on the
18th of November, reports the damage done by
the storm to have been very great among the ship
ping of tho allies all along the Crimean coast. The
fire of the batteries grew weaker and weaker eaoh
day, and the approaches of the ouemy were entire •
ly suspended. The Kussian loss for several days
had beeu only four killed and fourteen wounded.
The Knglish had attempted to establish them
selves at the head of the oook yard, but had been
repulsed with loss.
Bkklin, Wednesday.—A despatch from Bt. Pe

Monscli:koll, writing on the 27th, states, “The
allies continue their bombardment of Sevastopol,
but their lire is weak, and causes us scarcely any
loss or damage. It is obvious that they are
strengthening their position aud establishing new

Thi: Dxtlomact of tbs Wxb.—The telegraphic
despatch from Halifax, published, gave informa
tion of the conclusion of an offensive aud dofensive
treaty between Austria, prance and Eugland. As
the articles of this treaty had not been officially
fublisbed when tbe America left Liverpool, it is
npossiblo te speak ot them with celikiuty, and
especially since the various journals (give conflict
ing accounts. The following summary, which we
find in the London Morning Chronicle, appears to
be the most nearly authentic :
‘•The treaty commences by repeating and re
cording the declarations and the principal acts of
the conference of Vienna, as well as the declara
tions and engagements contained in the notes ex
changed on the Sth of August, 1564, between the
high contracting parties.
“It maintaii s tne four points ol guarantee as the
necessary basis of peace, at the same time that it
reserves and recogni.es te each el the Powers the
faculty of extending them by additional conditions.
“Austria binds herself to France and England,
as she had already done to Turkey by the treaty of
the lilhof June, 1854, to occupy the Principalities
for the purpose of repulsing the Russion troops, if
they attempted tore enter them.
“Austria proclaims the right, as justly belonging
to Turkey and to the Allies, ol making all the
movements which may suit them for the purpose
of attacking either the Kussian troop, or the Rus
sian territory,
“If, in consequence of her attitude in the Prin
cipalities, or for any other oause, Austria should
find herself at war with Russia, the alliance, offen
sive and defensive, between ner, France and Eng
land, shaii be established by the fact of tbe war.
“If, before the end of the present year, 1554,
Russia should not have made propositions which
are considered aeoeptabie, and which ensure good
and durable peace, the Three Powers will advise
as to the means of obtaining that peace.
“The Three High-contracting Powers bind
themselves not to accept any proposition for the
re-establishmeot of peace without having delibera
ted upon it in oommon,”
The London Standard of the evening of the Sth
inst., contains the following despatch, which adds
the important intelligence that Prussia has also
joined the alliance: —
■ “Paris, Dec. 7.—A telegraph from Berlin stale!
that the new ireaty between Austria and the West
ern Powers hsd been sent there, and that, at a
Council held on the 6th by the King and his Min
isters. the adhesion to the treaty was determined
on. This produced great surprise among the Rus
sian party. The public both there and here has
received this change most favorably, and the funds
have risen greatly. The treaty is very shortly to
be published. . ....
We think this despatch of questionable au
thority. , . .
The Pays sums up tbe change in the situation
as follows It must be admitted that this situa
tion is excellent, for it may be summer up m ®f e
two important declarations : Austria is allied to
ail Germany in a defensive point of Tiew. and ste
is allied to th# belligerent states, Turkey, France
and England, in an offensive point of view. We
think that tnis is a new step in advanoe winch

“These propositions are drawn np below as

t ° empire—-that their religious and civil rights
shall be placed henceforth under the guarantee of
v* iu .£ ow ?*®» aQ< * that so the principal object
which Russia has had in view in the present war
shall be attained.
If the sentiments which have dictated to his
Majesty the prevent deeiuration, are appreciated
in Germany, as wo have a right to suppose they
will be, wo think we may iudxigc in the hope that ,
i the Confefieratioij a- »v! the r** e
and entirely reassured as to the German int rests
engagod in this quarrel, will profit by its unanimi
ty to throw its weight into the balance of Europe
in favor of a pence, for wnich Austria and Prussia
have spontaneously presented to us, in tho four
points, a basis which would satisfy them complete
*y-.
If, on the contrary, there is any wish to make (
use of the union—maintained once more by tho 1
care of Ku3hia—to put forward now conditions in
compatible iti substance as well as in form with
his dignity, the Emperor does not doubt but that
the States of the Confederation will reject ail such t
pretensions, from whatever side they may come,
as contrary to the .sentiments of gooa faith with J
which they are animated, as well as to tho true in
terests of Germany. It ir» a neutrality maintained t
with firmness and perseverance, such as hair been c
proclaimed since the origin of this contest, that e
the Emperor thinks Le ha* a right, in all justice,
to demand from her, in return lor the deference :
with which he has roceived tho wishes which have 1
been addressed to him in her name.
“Accept, &c., De Nesselrode.” :
It will be observed tba*, in this note, Russia of
fers to accept the four points, modified somewhat
to suit her views. The London Times in the
course of an elaborate article on the subject, con
eluding with the expression of its belief that
“war on a moro extended scale, and not peace,
will arise out of the present conjuncture of affairs,”
says:—
About ten days later, and alter the result of the
battle of lukermauu was known by the Czar, the
Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg was informed
that the Russian Government was disposed to ac
cept the four points without those modifications.
In both cases it is evident that the real object of
the Russian Cabinot in making these declarations
was to obtain from Germany “a neutrality suppor
ted with firmness and perseverance;” but in both
cases the manoeuvre seems to have failed, lor even
Prusiia was not restrained from concluding, the
additional article to her treaty with Austria, and
Austria proceeded without any further delay to
complete her treaty with the Western Powers.

pressing the English funds, it being considered as
an indication that the Czar will not succumb ex

The Present State or the Wjje—The war has
now entered into one of those periods of pause and
inaction which, even in the stoutly main
tained contests, must of necessity intervene.—
Winter has closed the Baltic against a further repe
tition of those maritime promenades which, with
the little interlude of Bomart>und, have employed
the energies of one of the finest fleets that ever
left the shores of England. Tho same cause has
put aa end to the campaign in Armenia, and Turks
and Russians may there resign themselves for the
next six months to a poace guaranteed by the im
perious intervention of frost, snow, and ice. On
the banks of the Danube the flame of war nas burnt
out, the Turks having neither lood, clothes, nor
military stores sufficient for a seriously offensive
movement, and the Russians having betaken them
selves by sea and by land to reintorce tho army
of tho Crimea.
At Sevastopol itself the allies are looking for
shelter, ammunition, clothing,and reinforcements,
and guarding against the possibility of being forced
to gain, at equal risk and equal cost, another vic
roiy like that of lukermann. The Russians seem
becoming every day more sensible of the tremen
dous blow they have received, and, engaged pro
bably in the difficult task of feeding aud sheltering
an army sent post for oui annihilation without
anything bat the most portable means of destruc
tion, can take no offensive measures. Both par
ties are recovering their breath for a moment be
fore they close again in the mortal struggle. This,
then, is no unsuitable time for recollecting some
lessons of experience out of the mass of events,
and treasuring them up for future use. We have
learnt much, and have paid dear for our knowl
edge ; let us hope that we shall not require to pay
the price a second time in order to fix the lesson
on our minds.
From ike London Times of Dec. 5.
The Gale in the Black Sea.
Os the many and great losses suffered by the
Anglo-h rench Expedition from one cause or an
other, the storm on the 18th of November, of
which we have at length the melancholly details,
may almost be regarded as the worst. It is true that
the immediate loss of men is not to be compared
with the numbers placed hors de combat at the bat
tle of the Alma ancl Inkermann, still less with the
victims of cholera. It may also be admitted that
for a oountry so rich as ours, and with such a
power of rapid production, the loss of material is
usually little more than a temporary inconvenience.
In this instance, however, tne losses come in a
form, and in a time, most unfortunate that could
be desired by the worst enemy of the expedition.
The total loss ol men at the various stations cn
coast of the Crimea on the disastrous 13th cannot
be less than a thousand, besides those that have
fallen into the hands of the Cossacks. Tne loss of
vessels was thirty British and French wrecked and
half as many dismasted at Balaklava, and eighteen
wrecked or dismasted at the mouth of the Katcha.
Our men of war, thanks to the precaution of fre
quently trying their cables, have come off with no
farther damage than the loss of guns, or of mssts,
or of rigging, the twisting of their rudders, or the
springing some leaks.
The French have lost the Henry IV., a noble
three decker, and a favorite war steamer. Thus
ter we have sustained no loss beyond the ordinary
drain of war; but the greatest calamity is that of
which we scarcely now know the full. The Prince,
a magnificent screw steamer of 2,700 tons, carried
out the other day to Balaklava the 46th regiment, all
the winter clothing fort! e troops engaged in the
siege, including 40,0-0 great coats, flannel suits,
un3er clothing, socks and gloves, beef, pork and
other provisions, hospital stores for Scutari; and
a vast quantity of shot and shell to carry on the
siege. These are wholly lost, and nothing remains
of the Prince but half a dozen of her numerous crew,
who managed to get on the eliife when she was
“broken to powder” against them. The Resolute,
with 900 tons of gunpowder, also went to the bot
tom. Thus, it seems, all the materials for carrying
on the siege and providing against the severity of
the winter have been carried off at one fell swoop;
and, even if we think to content ourselves with
merely maintainiLg our position on the heights
before ievaatopol, ft is evident that we are not in
a condition to stand our worst foe, the coming
winter, .
Everything seems to have conspired under a

Among the many disasters on thi lakes during
tho late fearful gales, was the sinking of tho pro
peller “Lruco Mino,” belonging t# the Mculreal
Mining Company. Tho following particulars of
that event is from the pen of one of the passen
gers:
We left Goderich on Monday, Nov. 27; during
tho night a torrifio gale came ou,*nd we sprung a
leak ; everything that could be get, at was thrown
overboard to lighten her, but the vater continued
to gain on us; at daylight it hai put oat the fires,
thus stopping the working of the engines; the
rudder had become disabled, and we were com
pletely at tho mercy of tho waves. At 2P.M. wo
could see land from tho mast head, apparently
about twenty miles distant, and wo wore drifting
towards it ut the rate of about a mile an hour.
At 10 minutes to threo P. M., (when wo all
hoped she could bo kept afloat at least eight hours
longer by moans of tho pumps) tae carpenter rush
ed up and reported that she could not possibly
float five minutes longer. There were twenty-six
souls on board, including three passengers and
myself. There were only two small jolly boats to
suvo us. A rush was made to them, vheu Captain
Fraser, (a sou of the late Col. MoK&uzio Fraser,)
produced a brace of pistols, and, tockiug them,
threatened to shoot down the first man who at
tempted to get into cithor of the foats until order
ed to do so; this had the desiied effect. 1 was as
sisted to tho mate’s boat with fifteen others; the
captain took nine with him; tho latter’s boat was
launched without difficulty, but oirs getting foul,
the tackle could not be let go, and the mate, with
wonderful presence of mind, an 1 grasped an axe
which fortunately was lying close by him and com
menced cutting tho four parts of tho rope, and as
he had severed the last, the pan to which it was
attached disappeared below water. The “five
minutes” in which to make our preparations to
leave the wreck, had hardly expired, when the
steamer was rapidly sinking iu about 70 fathoms
of water.
Already we hud had two fearful escapes, for if
the last stroke of the axe had failed to do its duty,
wo must all have gono down within five seconds ;
and eecondly, if the promenade detit had not par
ted bodily from tho hull; and tha: prevented the
suction, both boats must have been drawn into the
vortex. And now our danger was, appareu'ly, ub
groat as ever; for before wo left die wreck, the
captain and nmto had come to the conclusion that
tho small boats could not live ten minutes in so
heavy a sea—the waves rolling mountains high,
and we having at least fifteon miles to go to reach
the shore. lamat a loss to '.escribe tho fearful
passage—almost every wave would have filled
the boat, but threo buckets having boon luckily
thrown into her, tho men were enabled to bail her
out at intervals between the coming of the waves,
which weroso large that about half a minute would
elapse botweou them. About 10 P. M. wo got
among the tremendous breakers, which advised
us of our proximity to the shore; to *pt surprise
of all we got safely through them, Aid within a
minute after wo passed close to tho point of Cape
Hurd a most fearful iron bound and to our
unspeakable ioy, a bay of oalm waier.
Oar mate (liuneau Lambert of Goderich,) one
of tho very lew men on board who know anything
of Goorgian Bay, gave us tho unweh am3.informa
tion that there w» s not- er hum? l ’! 'wrf' 'op&n i.u
and thirty miles of us, and tha .
could be accomplished only by bout- Lnit H could
never be walked, and if the wind continued wo
must inevitably starve, for not a pound of any
thing eatablerlhul wo saved.
We made a fire, and our all, namely our clothes,
in which we had been drenched to tho Bkin, wo
allowed to dry upon us. Next morning wo walked
around the island upon whieh we landed under
tho point, and descried with joy a smoke on the
neighboring island, which we at <uco concluded
to bo that of tho captain’s party, and whieh was
the first news wo had of their having reached laud.
We immediately mad o a tiro, in order to attract
their notice, when they came over to us. W 0 were
once more all together again, excepting the carpen
ter, who, poor fellow, having jumpod from the
wreck for bur boat, and missed it, was swallowed
up in tho vortex.
It was then decided that we should run for this
place, (Owen’s Sound,) and suffice it to say, that
after the most dangerous run from point to point
of the coast, (having weathered eveu a heavier gale
than thut iu which the ill-fated steamer woutdown)
but feeling that we might polish as well by water
as by starvation—tho waves washed over ua con
stantly and wo never had a dry thread on us—we
reached this last night (Saturday) at 3 P. M. (4
days and 5 hours from the time the steamer left
us,) not having tasted food iu that time. Capt.
Fruser reached hero with his boat’s crew at 8 this
morning; wo had not scon them after tho first day.
Casualties. —We regret to learn that Christmas
day did not pass off without accident or crime.—
About 6 o’clock in the evening, James Bhea is re
ported as having shot Jeremiah Sullivan, while
an ier the influence ol liquor. The wound inflict
ed is considered dangerous. The difficulty oc
curred near the intersection of Bay Lane and East
Bread street.
In the afternoon, ihe horses attached to the City
Hotel omnibus took fright from the constant
explosion near them of ‘fire cracker?,’ and dashed
up the Bay towards West Broad st. In the litter
street they came in contact with a tree, injuring the
omnibus considerably and detaching themselves
from it. They ran on until they rcached-the Kail
road track, where they encountered the evening
train, when one of them, a valuable animal was
run over and instantly killed. Mr. Morse, the
driver, was on the omnibus when the horses became
frightened, and, we re ret to learn, was considera
bly though not seriously injured.
About the same time, the hoises attached to
Harden & Co.’s Express wagon took fright from a
similar cause, and ran away, breaking the wagon
to pieces.
William Graham, an engineer, had his right hand
badly injuied by the explosion of a powder flask.
Ho was pouring the powder upon a bunch of
crackers, which he held, with a lighted segar , in
the other hand, when the fire was communicated
to the flask.
Joseph Geiger was injured in hi 3 right hand
also, by a pistol, bu. not seriously.
A young lady in the family ot William Newman,
of Bryan county, and four of his children were
badly burnt by the explosion of a powder horn. —
The party was assembled around the hearth, and
the young lady engaged in filing the horn, when a
spark was thrown from the lire to the loose powder
in her lap. Her face was much burnt and scarified
and at last accounts she was partially delirious and
thought to be in a critical condition. The injury
to the children was not so serious. —Sivannah Be

French Wine Statistics.— Among the many bad
things swallowed by the American people, it is
charged upon them that they drink au immense
amount of bad wine • and Honors. For aught we
know, this may all be true, Gutfic tn the following
statistics furnished the New York Farmer’s Club,
at a recent meeting of that body, it will be seen
that there is enough of the genuine article pro
duced in and exported from the wine-frrowinx re
gions to quench a vast deal of thirst. The Maine
law, in several of the States of this Union, hp not
seemed to interfere with the use of the article to
such an extent as to keep prices from advancing
in consequence of the great falling off m produc
tion. . , , .
Nearly 5,000,000 acres of land are employed in
the cultivation of the vine in France, from which
is made annually 900,000,000 gallons of wine. The
average value is 15 cents a gallon. The french
wine 3 have doubled or trebled in varne witnin two
past years. Average annua! total value of the wine
crop, a fraction less than SIOO,OOO,000.
Export*.—so,ooo,ooo gallons are annually export
ed. The southwestern and south-eastern districts
of France are the most productive.
Bran dt. —12,000,000 gallons of brandy are annu
ally exported.
Excise.—The excise duty on wieos and their dis
tillations in 1358 was $235,000. .
Laborers.— The number of persons employed in
the cultivation of the vine and roMiiaeJureof wine
is a fraction short of 2,000,000 ; ai-d y®
sons are engaged in selling wine. Most of the
wine lands are untiliabl *, sterile end hilly. The
wine culture does not average a return of mere
than 114 per cent annually.
Disease. —The disease of the viL r ; is pretty gene
ral throughout France, though th? southern sec
tion suffers most. This disease has prevailed for
three or four years, and threatens to desvioy tee
business.
The CracLETiLLE Bank.— A <?<***
Bill Holder.— The Ohio Statesman tells 1 * good
stcry of a Cincinnatian, ft great friend
ville Bank, who, at the time of its
on his way to it with fifteen to twenty thousand of
its promises to pay, which he designed convert
into* coin. W ben to arrived be
wills astonishment by the news of its “JjP® I ™®*?

that he would return home the next in he ro=fced
to the telegraph office, and sent them the following
startling despatch: “Circlevilie Bans t£3 B one to
hell, and / uiU be there to-morroic.
Tee High Price of Papes.—The great advance in
the price of paper within the last six “f »
put the publishers of newspapers to .nee
tion how to counteract the evil. It »•
in the West, among other things, that publishers
reduce the sue of their papers: cemand advance
payment in all cases; cutoff -deal-heads, and
prune exchange lists. The effect of this would be
to redace the consumption of white paper and enable
the printer to live. It is now stated that rags can
not be had in sufficient quantity, and the reply to
this is that an increase in the price of paper win
not supply the deficit. Advance payments would
remedy a host of evils atiendanton publishers.
Lao. against Wrso*. —At a skating match re
cently held at Madison, Wisconsin, a mile Was
run in one minute and fifty-six seconds, starting
included. It U said to be the swiftest time on

> j ftteuai Vernon.
r- j We alluded briefly yesterday to tiiQ refusal of
eJ Mr. John K. Washington, tho proprietor of Mount
i- [ Vernon, to euteri&ia tho overtures for a purchaso
0 , made by the ladies of the Mount-Vernon Asscoia
e I c: Lllis cil • following extracts from Mr.
r Washington’s iettor will txuibU more a; large the
0 reasons which Lave mduetd him to come to his
1 decision:
i u With every disposition )ivid .icws with
a regard to the pract cabiiity * •aa plan the ladies
1 have in view, iqr acoompiionm- ue purchase of
r Mount \ ernon, and there is scarcely
l any obstaele wnio i iheii anlinng energy and de
-1 votion, when once enlisted, cannot overcome, there
i are still insuperable objections in my mind to the
; gratification ot their wt*nea.
“I am entirely uuwdiing that Mount Vernon
should pass txoa* u*y poest&&ion, unless to the
1 State of Virgin.* t>r to the United Butet. The on
ly reason thut have for desiring this disposition of
th- prupert, is thatit may be perpetually preserv
ed .rotn the lot which r ust eveaiuail) beiall it, as
a private possess on in the dispersion of families
and cli» uges of fortune almost necessarily attend
unt upon out form of government. It would cause
me me greatest regret, if amid such changes, irom
any act 01 mine or my doaeeudeuta, Mount Vernon
should be perverted to uses, inconsistent with the
voucr.d ion due to tho memory and character of
him with whose life it is so iuiiinaio y conuocied.
“ Yet I c.unot help foreseeing that as the pro
perty of uny private person or association, this
lamentable result must sooner or later occur. It
is true, that if the plan d vised by the ladies is
practicable, and it is consigned to tbs custody of
Virginia, this result would probably be obviated.
“ Bui, sir, beautiful as is the tribute of grati
tude these excellent and devoted ladies would pay
to tho memory of our common Father, would not
the world cry shame on the governments and on
thß men who would stand by and permit them to
make such a sacrifice, even on such an altar ?
“ For my own part, i had rather present it a free
. to the State or uat*o»*. GifUa aao&her wrould
’ _ - i • . ‘ '
receiving those offerings of patriotism from the
mothers wives and daughters of Virginia. No
s r; much us 1 admire and revorunco the many
graces and virtues that adorn the ladies of my na
tive {State, 1 cannot consent to be instrumental in
the orectlon of the graceful monument, designed
by their patriotism and illustrative of it, but
which, at the ssrnc time, would commemorate tho
degeneracy of myself and the men of our land.”
Wo believe that $200,000 is tho amount which
Mr. Washington asks lor Mount Vernon, from
what we have heard of tho present condition cf
the estate, wo incline to the opinion that it would
take about SIOO,OOO more to put it iu order.— (
Possibly, after it was obtained and put in
for this very moderate amount, it might bo kept
in order a', the trifling expenditure of $25,000 per J
annum. In view of these probabilities, we quite J
agree with Mr. Washington, iu the doubt which *
he seems to ontortaiu whether “the plan devised .
by the ladies is practicable.” J
As the last reding place of tho mortal remains .
of George Washington, as the home which was J
hallowed by his presence during life, it is impos
sible to place too high a varuo upon Mount Ver
non It can no more be estimated iu dollars and
cents than tho sunlight, or tho free air. All the
gold of California could Lot pay for it. Apart,
however, from its hallowed associations, it is noi j
at all more valuable, we are informed, than tho J
other poor farms of that region, and, as an estuto,
has gono down, we learn, till it presents few signs
of its formor condition. If th.s bo truo, apart from
its associations with the memory of Washington, j
the 1 lace would scaroly be worth the acceptance 1
of tho United States or of Virgiuia, even it Mr. j
Washington should ‘‘present it a free gift to the ]
State or nation.” ]
What does he moan by say ng, ‘little as either j
would deserve it” (tuegilt.) Wear© ut a less to ]
imagine what crime or misdemeanor has been j
committed by the United States or by Virginia, to
elicit such a robuko. What has Virgiuia done or r
left undone, that she should b 3 taunted in this *
wise by the pres.out proprietor of Mount Vernon ?
Certainly, iu no land is the memory of tho father
of his country held more sacred. Why does not
Virgiuia 'deserve' to have the cuatody of the tomb
of Washington? Give us the reason. It is a
grave charge, and wo call for the facts which sup
port it.
Wo honor the motives of tho ladies concerned
in the effort to purchase tho Mount Vernon estate,
but, oven could Mr. Washington’s consent be ob- *.
tainod, wo doubt the practicability of their plan.
It would involve an expenditure far beyond any
thing they contemplate. Virginia ought to buy
Mount Vernon, ana, if tho proprietor will accept j
the reasonable sum of SIOO,OOO, we think it prob
able the State might consent to purchase it.—

An Exciting Strike at the Conestooo Cotton
Mills, Pennsylvania. —Tbe directors of the above
named mills, which are situated near Lancaster,
having announced to the operative' l , thut “on and
after the lSt-h inst. the time of working will be
changed to twelve hours,” a general strike was the
result among iho operatives, who furihor mani
fested their indignation by throwing snow-balis
aud stones at some of tho “bosses” and into the
windows of the mills. The Lancaster Daily adds:
The stars and stripes were then brought upon
the ground, and a portion of tho Lancaster Rifle
Brass Band, whoso services were brought into re
quisition by the strikers, when a procession was at
once formed, which had tho effect of stopping mill
No. B—all the operatives leaving their looms. At
one time there wus a show of riotous conduct on
the part of tho “outsiders,” but tho prompt action
of his Honor tho Mayor und his officers, who were
on the ground, (several arrests baing made,) soon
c nei Jigmlaries Connected With the a&ira were mado
rather uuwilliDg listener* to tho qiestions and ex
pressions of many of tho female operatives, such
as “1 guess you wont make us work—will you ?”
<fec. ? <fee.
Since penning the above, wo understand that at
a meeting of the stockholders, held at their offico
at one o’clock yesterday, tbe resolution adopted by
the managers relative to the chaugo of working
hours, was unanimously approved. Whether tho
operatives will or will not acetde to this regulation
is uncertain.
Presentation of a Sword to Major Wise. —A
New York letter says:
Last eveuing Major Wyae, of the third r.illory,
was presented with a handsome sword, by Colonel
Burnett, on behalf of the citizens ot New York, as
a token of their admiration of his conduct as a
soidier aud a citizen during his stay among us. It
will bo romemborod that M»>jor Wyso was sus
pended, for six mouths, by military court martial,
for disobedience of General Scott’s o r dcra, and
now, that tho six months has expired, ho is
about to sail for San Francisco, there to rejoin
his regiment, which sailed some tiino since. His
friends, of whom he has not a few, took the occa
sion to make the presentation to him, and accor
dingly at eight o’clock a number of gentle ', en con
vened together in the Astor House for thut. pur
pose. Tho sword, a very houdsomo one, boars
the following inscription : “Presented to Brevet
Major Francis O. Wyso, UJ3. A., by citizens cf
New York, in testimony of his devotion to tho
soldier and his fidelity to tho interests of tb© ser
vice.”
Vanns of A Manuscript. —The original manu
seript of Gray’s Elegy was lately sold at auction in
London. There was really a“seone” in the auction
room. Imagine a stranger entering in the midst
of a sale ot some rusty looking oil bocks. The
auctioneer produces tioo small Half sheets of paper,
written over, torn aud mntil led. He calls it a
“most interesting article,” and apologises tor its
condition. Pickering bids £lOl Kodds, Foss,
Thorpe, Bohn, Holway, and some few amateurs
quietly remark, twelve, twenty, twenty five, thirty,
and so on, till there is a pause at sixty three poundo.
The hammoi strikes.
“Hold I” says Mr. Foss.
“It ia mine,” says the amateur.
“No, I bid sixty-five in time.”
“Then I bid seventy.”
“Seventy-five,” says Mr. Foss; and fives are
repeated again, until the two bits of paper are
knocked down, amidst a general oheer, to Payen
and ‘ Oss, for one hundred pounds sterling ! On
these bits ot paper are written the first crafts of
the Elegy in a country church yard, by Thomas
Gray, including five versos which were omitted in
publication, and with the poet’s interlinear correc
tions and alterations—certainly an “interesting
article.” Several persons supposed it would call
forth a tan pound note —perhaps even a twenty.
Pome Packing in tue West. —The Louisville
Courier of Monday has tho following remarks in
relation to Pork packing:
The season draws to a close slowly, owing to the
backwardness of buyers, or rather tho want of cash,
and the difficulties of transportation from the in
terior of Indians, which is now tho only source of
supply. The total number of hogs killed this sea
son, up to last night is 218,553, which compared
with last year’s operations, : hows a falling off ot
49,164. At the end of the -rason thn n-Sf arity
will be still groater, the short crop of cor:, and
tightness ot t-io money marker being the axis ring
causes. Prices Saturday were drooping, and the
market dull, the prevailing quotations being 4 a
cento not for light to good hoars. A lot of 200 sold
for cents, and a drove of 95 head at si.3u cash.
The Specie of the Coentry. —The Secretary of
the Treasury estimates the amount of specie in the
country on the SOth cl September last at $241,000,-
000. He says: “Os this sum there was about $60,-
000,000 in the banks and $26,000,000 in the United
States Treasury; the rest being in circulation
among the people or hoarded up.” At the period
of the discovery of gold in California there was in
the country about $100,000,000, and of this $50,-
000,000 was held by banks and $50,000,000 by in
dividuals. Thus, in about seven years, the amount
in the bank vaults has only increased $10,000,000,
while the amount in private hands has increased
$95,000,000.
The individual who threw himself before the up
passenger train of cars on Thursday, and was in
stantly crashed to death, is reported to have told
a negro that he was the incendiary who caused the
conflagration at Columbia, and knowing that he
would be certainly hung if detected, he intended
to commit suicide. He was a German cigar maker
and was missed from Columbia on the night of
the fire.
It is stated that Mr. 81 rang, the Mormon leader
of Beaver Island, is elected to the Legislature of
Michigan. The whole Mormon force voted for Mr.
Peck, the only Democrat elected to Congrss from
that Btate.
Col. J. W. Whitefieed, who has just been elect
ed a Delegate to Congress from Kansas, command
ed a regiment from Tennessee in the Mexican war,
served two terms -to the Tennessee Legislature,
and was appointed by President Pierce an agent
to tbe Indian tribes to Nebraska and Kansas. He
is said to be a man of great energy of character
and strong natural abilities, and in his late canvass
maintained tbe doctrine ot popular self-govern
ment.
Valuable Coppeb Mines in Hakbis.— We under
stand that Copper ore of value has been found on
the Pine Mountain, 4 miles west of King’s Gap, in
Harris Co. A mass of 5 lbs. of ore, found on the
surface of the earth, has been brought to this city
and smelted, which turned out one pound of pure
copper. No shaft has as yet, been sunk, and it is
impossible to say how valuable tbe mines may
prove. The lands are owned by Mr. Zachariah
Ware. The distance of the mines from market
wiil, we presume, materially decrease their value
even if they should prove very rich in ore.—Co
lumbue Tima.
Fatal Aocioknt.— We learn that Mike Hughes,
a train hand, was killed yesterday, near the 21
mile poet, on the Central Railroad. He was at
tempting to get on the train while m motion, when
he fell and the care passed over him.—. Sir. Rep.
Gbeai Teliobaphixg,— The Pacific arrived at

her news was telegraphed to New Orleans and
printed there at noon the same day.

To which, if wo add, (for the past year,) the Stocks in tho interior Towns, &c., tho quantity burnt
iu the interior and that lost on its way to market, to the Crop as given above, rooeived at tho Shipping
Ports, tho aggregate will show very nearly k the amount raised in tho United States the past season—say,
in round numbers, 3,000,000 bales, against, 8,860,000 for tho year 1852-8—8,100,000 for the year 1861-2
aud 2,450,000 for tho year before.
During the year just closed, there was received here, 2,258 bales byway of the Now York and
Erie Kailroad, 1,182 by the New York and Erie Canal, 7,490, at Baltimore, and 1,500 at Philadelphia
from tbe West, nearly, if not quite all of whioh, it is believed, came from Tennessee, and we have ac
cordingly added it in another place to the Crop of the country.
Tho quantity of now Cotton received at the Shipping Ports to the lstinst., amounted to 1890 bales,
against 716 bales lost year, and 5,125 tae year before.
Tho Shipments given in this Statement from Texas, are those by Sea only.
It may be well to observe, that the proceeding Statement of tho Crop, is that of the United Slates
as a whole, and does not purport to give tho Crops of the States, though the Shipments, Stocks,f&c.,
are neoessarily arruuged under the different leading Shipping Ports or States, as tho case muy be.
It is well known, that, by tho extension of Railroads aud other means of transit, oftentimes large
quantities of Cotton grown in one State are received at, and shipped from, tho Sea Port of another,
and this, to a greater or less extent, is the case with every Cotton growing State in the Union.— flew

Tho review of the business affairs of November
in Hunt’s Merchant Magazine for December, em
bodies a brief account of the causes of the present
financial embarrassments in the free States. This
is a subject of universal interest, and we accord
ingly extract what of the explanation is essential
to tho understanding of the opinions of the Maga
zine. We may, however, preface the subject with
the following table, which shows the receipts of
duties at five of tho principal ports during the
month of November this year and last year. It
shows a largo reaction aud contraction in the im
port trade—a fact which is better, than any other,
to show that the country may have touched bot
tom in this crisis:

The official returns from which this table is made
np come down only to the 25th from Boston, and
the 18th from New Orleans. The difference, how
ever, is non-essential. The decrease within the
month of November amounts to forty per cent. —
Within October it was only, in the aggregate about
SBOO,OOO. Hunt’s Magazine says:— Mobile Tribune.
“The commercial embarrassments noticed in our
last have continued, and in many sections of the
country the pressure has increased, until credit is
shaken everywhere, and all classes are made to re
a ize the insecurity of worldly possessions. The
causes which led to this have been a long time at
work. The prosperity which prevailed almost
universally np to the middle of last year had made
our business men so confident in their own strength
that all classes had expanded their engagements
far beyond the protection of their own resources,
and were exposed to the storm which began to
gather on every side. The first great shook to
credit was the discovery of the Schuyler fraud,
which brought to a stand nearly all thoae works of
internal improvement for whose successful com
pletion a large share of public confidence was so
necessary. From that moment sacrifices began,
and the Railroad interest will never wholly recover
from the blow. The war in Europe created more
or less money pressure abroad, and capitalists
thero were less liberal in their investments here,
at a time when their assistance would have been
most acceptable. Goods which had accumulated
abroad where the demand has almost ceaßed, were
crowded upon our shores, at whatever advance
could be obtained, thus aggravating the evil. At
that moment, instead of liberal shipments of
breadh!oii'i to cover this new drain upon our re
sources, the exports fell off, owing to the high price
of cereals in the interior, and the great scarcity at
the seaboard. The failure in the harvests here
Lad been greatly exaggerated, and farmers were
led to heard the’r products. The cotton crop, part
of which might have been relied on in this emer
gency, was kept back by the dreadful ravages of
the epidemic which prevailed in the vicinity of
Southern ports. From New York, those who had
contracted large foreign debts were obliged to send
the specie, and this rapidly increased the evil.—
While this was going on at the seaboard, a worse
panic began in the interior, and especially in the
west and northwest. In Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa and Missouri, and to
some extent to the States on the south of the Ohio,
a large circulation of bank notes, mostly of the
free Banks, had been obtained through expendi
tures for Railroad purposes, and the general ex
pansionof business. When the oontraction began,
this circulation earns in rapidly, and found the
banks wholly unprepared to meet it. As the diffi
culty became known, the excitement increased,
and every effort made for relief odlv heightened
the panic. All the banks wh’ch had balances at
the east drew for them, and borrowed to the extent
of their credit besides, while between twenty and
thirty, perhaps more, of institutions which were
really solvent, were compelled to suspend payment.
A large number of private bankers were carried
down in the crash, and the distress became general.
The public is now less excited, but the difficulty is
not removed, and cannot well be until there be a
revival of business, by large shipments of produce
now hoarded. At the South, the evil has not, as
yet, been so seriously felt. The planters have not
been for many years in so secure a position, and if
tbe crop of notion now making shall sell briskly in
Europe, they will escape to a greatextent the panic
which has e’sewhere prevailed. During all this
severe pressure in the money market, and general
disturbance of public confidence, it ia a cause tor
congiatulation, that the mercanti e community
have stood the trial so nobly. Very few merchants
previously in gcod credit have been obliged to sus
pend payment, i nd even among tbs weaker houses
the failures have not been as numerous as might
k*ve been expected.
VOL. LX IX.—NEW SERIES VOL. XIX.-NO. 1.
The reason of this may be loand in the increased
supply of metalic currency remaining in the coun
try. Over one hundred million dollars in gold coin
have been added to the circulation ol the United
States since the discovery of gold in California.—
Thus, although the rates of interest havo been high
for nearly eighteen months, there hus been no such
scarcity of money as has been felt in former periods
of commercial embarrassment. The impression
now prevails that the convulsion has reached its
height, and that having passed the crisis, affairs
must now gradually mend.”
The Duello.— The duelling code has mot a sig
nal and deserved rebuke at the hands of George D.
Prentice, Ksq., editor of the Louisville Journal;
a gentleman whose high position has enabled him
to administer that rebuke with proper odoct. Be
ing recently at Little Bock, Arkansas, ho was cal
led upon lor a retraction of certain things he had
published, by Mr. Butt Hewson. The retraction
was refused and the alternative of a meeting re
jected in the following communication:
Little Lock, Nov. 24, 1854.
Sir:—Your note, dated yesterday, was handed
to mo this morning. I have no other reply to
it than that which I made to you at first.
I cannot properly say to you that I retract the
personalities of my article in the True Democrat,
for Ido not think it contains any. 1 have distinct
ly disclaimed any such construction of the language
of that article as would imply an imputation upon
your personal character or conduct, and I do not
rocogniso uny right or reason on your part to ask
or expect more of me. This I deem quite as much
due to myself as to you.
Presuming that your noteß are written to me
with view to a duel, 1 may as well say here, that I
have not the least thought of accepting a chal
lenge from you. I consider my strictures upon
your writings entirely legitimate, and, at any rate,
the disclaimer that I havo made ought to satisfy
you.
I came here from a distant State because many
believed I could do something to promote a great
and important enterprise, and as I havo no reason
to think that my labors are not altogether in vai j,
I do not intend to let myself be diverted from them.
There are some persons, perhaps many, to whom
my life is valuable, and, however little or much
value I may attach to it on my own account, I do
not see fit at present to pul it up voluntarily against
not call a man to the field unless he had done me
such a deadly wrong that I desired to kill hjm,
and I would not obey his call to the field unless I
had done him so mortal an injury as to entitle him,
in my opinion, to demand an opportunity of tak
ing my life. 1 have not the least desire to kill you
or to harm a hair on your head, and 1 am not con
scious of having done anything to entitle you to
kill me.
I do not want your biood upon my hands, and
I do not want my own upon anybody’s. I might
yield much to the demands of a strong public sen
timent, but there is no public sentiment, nor even
any disinterested individual sentiment, that either
requires me to meet you, or would justify me in
doing so.
I look upon the miserable code that is said to
require two men to go out and shoot at each other
for what one of them may consider a violation of
etiquette or punctilio in the use of language, with
a Kcorn equal to that which is getting to be felt for
it by the whole civilized world of mar.kind. I am
not afraid to express such views in the enlightcd
capital of Arkansas or anywhere else.
I am not so cowardly as to stand in dread of any
j imputation on my courage. I have always had
[ courage enough to defend my honor and myeelf,
j and I presume 1 always shall have.
I Your very obedient servant,
George D. Prentice.

Correspondent** of the Charleston Standard.
Havana, Dec. 28, 1854.
I passed soma hours, a lew days since, in tho
Punts Castle, or jail, and, did time permit, would
send you a description of it; however, that plea
sure must bo delorred until a future opportunity ;
th -re aro no eleven persons confined there
including AugUßtine Montoro and Charlou Colin,
under tho charge of having been concerned, or
guilty of tho assassination of OaFtonado. Tho
cruelly and ridiculousness of this will be manifest
when I toll you that tho man who did the foul, yot
well moritod deed, is, it ie commonly understood
here, in the United States.
1 found Augustine Montoro a veiy gentlemanly
persou, as lima capable, I Bhould imagine, of as
sassinating a man r>.s 1 know myself to bo. Charle3
niurdor, and tho extreme cruelty of their im ri ;
oumont could never bo porpetrutod in any but u
country under Spanish dominion.
My object in visiting tho Puuta, was to offer my
sympathy and any iittlo attention in my powor to
Mr. helix, who, you will remember, is ohurgod
with being oounected with tho landing of tho
arms, Arc., recently, at Baraeoa. Ho, howovor,
(poor follow,) was still incomunioado, and I oould
not see him. Ho is confined in a darkened room,
deprived of ovon tho light of day, with a soldier
constantly standing sentinel boforo the well bolted
door. 1 had, however, the pleasure of a long con
versation with Mr. Lncoate, whose real name I
ascertained to be Francisco Estrampes, and I will
endeavor to describe, as well as my feeble pen will
permit mo, tho conversation that took place be
tweon us—premising that Mr. “Estrampea” is a
tall young man, of soino eight and twenty, or thirty
yoarsofago. “1 was seized, sir,” said be, “at
Baraeoa, placed on my back in tho filthy hold of a
vessel, with my arms so tightly fastoned bonind
mo, as to give me great pain, aud I vrat not per
mitted to havoa mattrasa, which my friends wish
ed to bring me, to rest my aching bones upon.
Thence 1 was taken in chains to tho castle at St.
Jago do Cuba, where, after a long confinement,
thoy brought mo, in the hold of a vessel, to Ibis
place. During tho six days passage from St. Jago
to thi3 city, I was kept in tho hold so cruelly tied
as to bo unable oven to smoke a segar. A biscuit
in tho morning, aud another at dinner tiuio, was
my daily and solo allowance of food.”
Upon my inquiring as to tho manner in whioh he
supposed the authorities at Baraeoa had obtained
the information whioh led to tho seizure ol'thoarms
aud to his arrest, ho replied—“l hove but to-day
discovered that fact. I came consigned to a man at
Baraeoa, named Franoiaco Hernandez, und he, the
tiaitor to his country, went to tho Governor of Bar
acoa, aud deposited with him all my papers &o.—
The Fiscal this day read to mo the deposition made
by Hernandoz, aud when I smiled at the mis state
ments contained in it, I was asked why I smiled?”
1 replied, “at the thought of whatmust be tho feel
iuga of such a misoreant as Hernandez. I was un
der examination yesterday and to-day. Sir,” he
added in continuation, “they showed mo a flag
whioh thoy hudseizod, and onquirodto what conn
try it belonged, it is to be tho flag of Cuba when
she is free. I came hero to fight under that flag
and gain my country’s freodom, or to die )o. hor.
No suoh cause was over gainod without bloodshed;
I care not for my life, and I presume my b.ood
will be shed, and I only rogrot that it did not
happen lighting for my country’s liberty. But it
is no illusion. I pledgo myself, though yon may
deem it such, Cuba will ero long bo iroe. It is bo
ordained, and what must bo will bo.”
Upon boitig asked by the examining Judges, if 1
did not know it was a crime to attempt to raise a
revolution iu tho country, “ I replied,” said ho,
“That I know that thoy, uudor tho Spanish laws,
considered it as such ; but, according to y view,
it would boa blessed deed to free Cuba from tho
ohain that Spain had placed around her. When
they asked if Mr. Felix was not to have been my
second in command, I spurned tbe idea, saying,
Mr. Felix knew not the object of my coming to
Cuba. Ho came here to pass the winter, and to
avoid tho cold of the North. W hen thoy said, who
did I know in Cuba; to whom did I look for sup
port? I said I knew no one; know not who
would support me; but I came to fight for Cuba’s
freedom, aud free, I again repeat, she very soon
will be.”
Incidents at Inkermann. —An English oflicor,
writing, November 7, from camp, says: “ We
wore firing musketry into each other at between
fiftoon and thirty paces distance, now aud thou
oharg.ngand driving them back, und then driven
jbaek Tfiafeeneliand
‘ np in one mass, which kept on advancing or re
tiring us wo gainod or lost the advantage. Wo had
luckily built a loose stone wall along tbe front of
our position, which we could manage to hold
against an enormous foroo. Tho Allies wore five
times driven back, quite to tho ores 1 , of our posi
tion, but wo ovory timo drove tho onemy hack and
followed them up. Afior a loDg timo our people
got some eighteen pound battory guns into posi
tion, by which wo woro enabled to knock about
thoir artillory s good deal, and at last thoy were
everywhere driven back.”
An artillery officer says : “Suddonly tho smoko
closerv.., a way, and wo discovered the Russian in
fantry witnin t ou yards of us. X shall never forgot
tbe aspect of thorn, fellows, dressod in their long
gray coats and flat git zua „ ai)B firing most delibe
rately at our poor gunners, onu picking thorn down
liko so many crows.”
An army officer writes : “In my opinion, our
force (that is tfio French and English) did not ex
eeed 25,000 men of all arms. Our French comrades
fought bravely; they show little mercy to tho Rus
sians. Nothing can exceed tho cordiality which
exists between us ovory day in tho camp, coming,
as thoy say to seo ‘Mon comrade Anglais.’ Both
armieß detest tho Turks, and now more than be
fore, as, through their negligence and cowardice,
they let themselves bo surprised, and very nearly
lost Bulaklava. Somo of thoir officers are or were
tried by couit-martia! for this affair, und the whole
Turkish force was brought along side of us. They
were under srms, looking on during tho battle, but
would not be permitted to fire a Bbot or give any
assistance. They are this day assisting to bury tho
dead—tho only thing they aro fit for.”
Another officer writes: “The gallant 88th and the
Zouaves (a Preuch regiment) chargod together as
one regiment, aud woro completely mingled—you
conld not tell one from the other—and put all to
death that came in their way.”
Fire.— Tho alarm of fire, about two o’clock yes
terday morning, was cccasioncd by tho burning of
four small wooden houses on tho streot, not yet
named, leading from tho eastern end of South
River streot. Several email houses adjoining took
fire, but were saved without mnch damago. The
property destroyed was owned by tho estates of
Dominick O’Byrno and Henry James. The loss is
email; thoro was no insurance. —Savannah Stp.,
25th inti.
I)axis. Outrage.— During the alarm of firo Sa
turday night, a man named Ish .naol Hover entered
a sleeping apartment attached to tho grocory es
tablishment of J. Mehrtene, oil tho plank road
near the city... The room was occupied at the time
by Mr. James R. Mehrteus, a brother of the pro
proprietor. Hearing a noise near his bod, he call
ed out to tho person in Gorman,, supposing it to
bo hia brother; wheroupon the thief, having rillod
his pookets of their contents, rushed down stairß.
Mehrtene pursued and ovortook him, when Hover
turned upon him with a knife, and inflicted iwo
severe wounds upon his right arm and one upon
the left: afior which ho escaped. Murslial Russell
was immediately iuformod of tho occurrence, aria
went in pursuit of Hover.. Ho succeeded in ar
resting and lodging him in jail, whore ho now
awaits the further process of tho law.
The circumstances attending this doub.o crime
of theft and stabbing, only aggravate the offonco.
It is bad enough to steal one’s money under any
circumstances ; but to do so during an alarm ol
firo, when ail good citizens are supposed to be
abroad assisting in saving the property of their
neighbors, and then to stab the person who has
thus been robbed, is a crime of a very grave char
acter indeed.— ih.
How a Man Feels in a Fight. —You have, l
presume, devoured all tho accounts which have
been sent home as to our glorious ohargo. Oh,
such a charge! Never think of tho gallop and
trot which you havo often witnessed in the Pfcca
nix Park 7/hen you desire to form u no'ion of a
fonuine blood-hot all-mad charge, such as that
have como out of—withafow lanceprods, minus
some gold lace, & bomlot chain, and Brown Bill a
(the charger’s) right ear. From the .moment we
dashed at tho enemy, whoso position, and so
forth, you doubtless know «h much about as I oau
toll you, I know nothing, but that I was impelled
by some irresistible forco onward, and by Borne
invisible and imperceptible influence to crush
evory obstacle which stumbled before my good
sword and bravo old charger. I nover in my life
experienced such a subliu o sensation as in the
moment of tho charge. Borne fellows talk of its
being “demoniaa.” I know this, that it was such
as made mo a match for any two ordinary men,
and gave me such an amount of glorious indiffer
ence as to life, as I thought it impossible to be
master of. It would do your Caltio heart good
to hear the most magnificent cheer with wbioh wo
dashed into what P W calls “the gul
ly p.crimage." Forward—dash—bang—claDk, and
there wo were in the midst of such smoke, cheer
and clatter, as never beforo stunned a mortal’a ear.
It was glorious ! Down, one by one, aye, two by
two fell the thick skulled cud evernumerousCos
sacks, and other lads of the tribe of old Nick.
Down, too, alas, fell many a hero with a warm
Celtic heart, and more than ono fell screaming lood
tor victory. I could not pause. It was all push,
wheel, phrensy, strike, and down, down, down
they went. Twice I was unhorsed and more than
once I had to grip my sword tighter, the blood of
foes streaming down over the hilt, and running
up my very sleeve.
J cannot depict my feelings when we returned.
I sat down completely exhunstod and unable to
eat, though deadly hungry. All my uniform, my
hands my very face, wore bespattered with blood.
It was’that of tho enemy ! Grand idea! But my
(eolinge, they wore full of that exultation which
it is impossible to describe. At least twelve Rus
sians were sent wholly out of the way of the war,
by my good steel alone, and at least bb many moie
put on the passage to that peaceful exit by the
same excellent weapon. So also can others aay.
What a thing to reflect on. I havo almost grown
a soldier philosopher, and most probably will one
of these days, if the bullets which are flying about
so abundantly give me time to brush up. —Lttitr
