Dabi2n, Feb. 12, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: I observe that Hoc. William
C. Dawson has been proposed, jq the htaucnal
Intelligencer, as a candidate for Governor of this
btate, at the neat election. I take It for granted,
as the movement has been made at Washington,
that the suggeeticn of hi* ncme was made with the
concurrence 01 Messrs, Toombs and Stephens, as
they aro coupled wi.h »;rne disrespectful epithets
in connection w.th this i .att* r, in the opposition
pres.".
I am clearly of the opinion that Mr. Dawson wiii
receive a haudEorao majority in this district, if
there is no lakovy;'.imtie.B.i among the leading mc-i
of enr party. We will go for him, because be :s
not only a true Georg au, but a true friend to our
seaboard ; you may rely upon it that. Governor
Johnson’s vote, in this county, will nol be par
Iwularly jlitteiiruj. Let us know in tirns > who are
candkdut.s t and wo ill give them a warm support,
iiut ir the> are brought out after the public mind
is p jicond against them, and their opponents are
un<ier fail way, I bhuil look upon their nomination
no* iwan honor or a triumph, but as a sacrifice.
Y ours truly, A ScßiCKinta.
And frcm th 3 tone of the letter accompanying
i , I degm it propel, in order to prevent all iiiiseon-
Htrootion c t my position on the subject, »o stalo
that, while I entertain for Mr. Dawson tha highest*
rc-pcct, fnd shall give him my cordbl support
1 i*L utiiae of Governor, if he b 3 selected and nomi
nated by a convention of those with whom it bus
been rr y pride as well pleasure heretofore to act,
yet I had nothing whatever to do with the “move
ment alloded to.
Mr. Jenkins, over and above eve y other man in
the State, is the man of my choice am preference
for Governor.
You wiL please give this an insertion in your
paper. Yours, very respectfully,

Mobile in Mourning. —Tho ordinance closing
grogshops and business houses of Mobile, like
similar enactments elsewhere, does not please
everybody. It wont into operation Sunday be
fore last. Speaking of which dty the Mobile cor
respondent of the Picayune aays:
It was the first Sabbath to be operated on by the
new tangled extract of tho blue laws, which our
suicidal authorities have grafted ou our city code
to kill themselves with. At least to some it must
prove fatal. By the dawn of day a crape weepier
was found on tho closed door of every bar room
in the oity, and thousands of merry jokes were
cracked on tho defunct, the disease and tho doc
tors.
An up countryman, seeing the wood whore he
had but lately taken a wet, inquired “Who is
dead?” “Old Nick,” said the towney. “Aud
who was Nick?” Why the man who kept this
place.” Indeed! do folks die now so quick as all
that? poor fellow 1 I took a drink with him quite
after midnight, and now hg’s gone. I thought the
epidemic was over 1
In another cose, cno of our boys, who had boon
in Texas (or a low weeks, returned thence yester
day morning, bringing a party of choice spirits on
their first visit to Mobile, which ho had pa nted in
all tho bright colors of home. “You will be so
delighted with the hospitable fellows; but lotus
try some bitters at tho Hole-in-tho-Wall, a small
place, but possessed of tho right kind of stuff.—
Hero it is. What! a weed ? then poor Jim is gone.
I am sorry for that—he was hearty when I left,
but let us go to Joumes.’ Why bless me 1 there is
a death hero too, or olse the-parties are related,
which 1 never hear of.”
About thirty vessels arc constantly ongaged in
carrying fruit to Now York from the West India
Islands, whouco the chief supplies of pine apples,
banunas, cocoa-nuts, Ac., are derived ; but a much
larger trade in fruit is carried on with ports in the
Mediterranean, which supply annually something
like seventy or eighty cargoes—principally oran
gos. Tho Journal of Commerce says:
Tho importations of last year are estimated by
one of the principal dealors as follows: 75,000
bunches of bananas from Baracoa, sold hero at
from $1.25 to $1.50 per bunch. 2,000,000 Baracoa
cocoa-nuts, sold at from $25 to SBO per 100.—
Twenty cargoes of pine-apples from Malanzas und
Havana, averaging 80,000 dozen per cargo, and
sold at from $8 to sl2 per 100. 20,000 St. B3rls
pines, sold at from $7.50 to $3 per 100. 200,000 i
dozan from the Bahama Islands. The latter sold i
very low « n account of the prevalence of the chol- i
era. Ton cargoes of Havana orangos, averaging
850,000 each, have been received thus fur the pro- i
eent season, the crop being more abundant than at
any time during tho last fifteen yor rs. Prices are t
roducod nearly one half, compared with last year’s 1
rates. £
A correspondent of tho Philadelphia North
American states that tho title ot L ; .eutenant-Gen-
oral, does net deprive Gen. Scott of his full rank ,
of Major General, as the former is merely to be f
conferred by brevet. Thero will, therefore be no J
occasion for any contest between tho friends of |
Generals Wool and Twiggs for the succession, i
He farther states that in full rank (Brigadier Gen- <
oral) Wool is tho senior of Twiggs by more than *
five years ; bntbievot Twiggs ranks over Wool, f
tho commissions of Major Goneral by brovst being t
dated Sept. 23, 1640, and Jfeb. 28, 1847, rc- 1
spectively.
The Toledo Blado of February 16th, bays there J
is in the interior country, on tho farms, a con
stant demand for more laborers than can be ob
tained. There is a bund red times more of food
actually wasted iu tho interior daily than would
support tho thousands now almost in a state of
starvation in fihstern cities. Food is abundant—
laborore scarce. This tho Blade knows from long ;
personal observation in tho interior.
Among tho measures likely to occupy a promt- |
neut placo in tho attention of the Canada Legisla
ture, is a Prohibitory Liquor Law. Iu tho former
part of the session, 257 petitions, with 41,182 sig
natures, were sent in. Among the petitioners
were the Roman Catholic Bishop of Montreal, and
over 20,000 of his flocir.
A law having been enacted in Sardinia for the*

He denountss tho Sardinian government, and de
clares the enactment to be of no effect.
The FaMine in Zantf.. — The Boston Advertiser
contains an appeal in behalf of the sufferers from
tho failure of the currant crop in the island of
Zmte, who ore said to still continue in a most de
plorable condition. A lettor signed by a large
number of ladies of rank in that island has been
addressed to the ladies of this country, imploring
their aid in saving some of tho victims of famine.
Two boxes of articles of Greek and Turkish manu
facture, from tho same quarter, are on their way
to this city to be sold for the benefit cf the poor of
that island.
Hoe Packing at Cincinnati. —Tho Cincinnati
Price Current makes the grand total of hogs pack
ed in that city, during the season, 855,786, which
as compared with last year’s figures, shows a
falling eff in the number packed, of 75,402. The
Price Current says:
Our returns from tho interior are not sufficient

Prince Gortschakoff, the Russian Ambassador

The engagement with M’lle Rachel to visit the

Commander Ringgold is in Washington, busily

During the last three or four days we have had
a little rain, but moro is wanted. The miners are
complaining sorely. The Prices Current and
Shipping List of this city gives the following:
With the exception of a somewhat diminished
demand for monoy, wo have no change of any im
portancoto note in financial matters in San Francis
co. The dullness in business con times, and is,
in fact, almost unprecedented, while but very little
dust is coming in from tfio mountains, and the
prospect of an immediate increase is not filtering.
Everv interest in the State in at present exceed
ingly depressed—the agriculturists faring as a
general thing, however, better than oithor the
miners or the merchants, while the mechanics are,
probably, worse olf than any of the others. Such
hard limes were never known before in California.
There are at present mojo persons unemployed
in this city than at any lime since 1849 ; and the
same remark, if we can rely upon the reports of
tho interior newspapers, hold good ail over the
State.
Wo are still, however, iu a much better position
than any of our neighbors in the Ea t, inasmuch
as wo have every reason to believe thatu few days
of steady rain will afford us substantial relief ;
while with them tho present distress is too deep
seated to be alleviated by unylbing but long pa
tionce and the practice of tho strictest economy
and systematic retrenchment. Even as wo write,
wo have to note a chauge in the weather here
which promises to boos tho greatest benefit, the
rains having fallen to a considerable extent during
the last 24 hours. Should the same prove to have
been the case in tho interior, and more cspacially
should it continue raining, wo may expoot a re
vival—it may bo but a partial one—before long.
It may surpriaosomoof our readers on tho East
ern seaboard to learn that wo have boon so little
benefltted by the rains of tho early part of Janua
ry. Before tfioir advent wo wero continually re
gretting the continuance of tho fine weather, but
since then wo have had no bettor times to report.
This is easily explained when we have tho facts
before us. In San Fruncisco we had rain, but
throughout the mountains a storm raged which
covered the country with enow, and, for the pro
sont, afforded no relief to tho miuers. Tho higher
mournum ranges are u>w deeply imbedded in
snow, while the earth in tho lower mining coun
try, was so baked that the water which fell wbb all
absorbed. What wo want is a fortnight’s steady
rain. As soon as wo get that monoy will become
more abundant and times improve. At present
wo remain dependent on tho canals for our supply
of dust.
Fearful Steamboat Explosion.
Wo tako the following particulars of the steam
boat explosion from the San Francisco Journals:
Sackamesto, Saturday, Jau. 27,1855, 1
1.80 o’clock, P. M. j
Ono of the most fearful accidents that has ever
happened on the Pacific coast, has jnst occurred.
The" steamer Pearl, from Uarysvillo, just as she
passed the conflux of the Sacramento and Ameri
can Rivers, exploded, and sont in a moment from
forty to sixty human beings into eternity. It ap
pears that the Enterprise, (Citizen's Lii.e) and the
Pearl, (Combination Lino) were racing from Ma
rysvillo to this city, ami just aa the latter was
nearing the wharf, tho boilers burst, and resulted
as abovo described. There wcro ti passengers on
board, many of whom were Chinamen—most of
them wcro on the forward part of the boat, near
the guards, as i 3 usual on the landing of the boats.
It is impossible to toll how many were saved;
but from the statement of an eye witness, who as
sisted in convc.vine Several of the wounded and '
dying to the hospital, it is believed that more than
two thirds have perished. Some of them wore
drowned; others completely blown to pieces;
others with their arms and legs blown oil', and
otherwise terribly mutilated. The pilot, who waa
thrown several fsel intojthe air, escaped with but
little injury, end also the cook and steward.—
Theso are the only oSaers of the boat who were
saved. Capt. Davis, Purser Oilman, and Mr. Mc-
Bride, of Wells, Fargo St Co’s Express, are all
dead. The treasure belonging to Wells, Fargo dk
Co., is sunk. They are now about making prepa
ration for its recovery. Mr. Keefer, of Adam’s &
Co’s Express, was saved. The oorpes of several
Chinamen are lying on each side of the river—
most of them at Yolo. The boat is a total wreok.
The Enterprise arrived this moment, being about
20 minutes behind the Pearl. It is impossible to
procure the list of passer gera as the clerk was
blown up with the rest. All that is known defin
itely is, that there were ninety-three on board. A
rope w:.s procurod, and the wrack has been haul
ed to tho river side, abreast the (xfti Works. The
after cabin and the bull are all that remain of her.
Those passengers who were fortunate enough to
be aft in the cabin, providentially escaped uninju
red.
The bow of tho boat was literally blown into ten
thousand pieces by the force of the explosion, and
here it was tnat mostof the passengers had assem
bled, to catch the first sight of their destination.
Iu tho cabin tho floor was torn up by the s'.cam
pipe communicating (the Pearl being a stern wheel
b--a') with the engine and shaft. Several gentle
men were found here badly scalded, and «cmo in
a dying condition. The boat or rather the wreck,
then commenced parting; one half Doing more
completely destroyed than tho other broke loose
from the remaining portion of the hull. The ef
forts of those on board and on shore were then
directed to bringing the wreck to the shore. This
was soon effected, and what remained ol the boat
w. a m cored alongside of a storoship situated about
the foot of G.-st.
In the meantime many bodies (some of them
mutilated in a shocking manner) were recovered
from among the fragments floating in the river.
The number of musing is about thirty, while
eight dead bodies have been found, and also sev
eral persons who were wounded.
As an incident worthy of note, it is mentioned
that a large and powerful dog, of the bloodhound
species, plunged into the river soon after the acci
dent, and reined Mr. James Johnson, who was
ihghlly scalded, but nevertheless helpless, and
would have teen drowned, but for the deg.
Adam’s & Co.’s Messenger, Mr. Keefer, had just
gone alt to get his express matter to take forward,
and it saved hi* life. The letters, treasure, and
express matter cf Adams <fe Co. were also saved:
the letters were soaked by tailing in the water.
Judge Anderson, of Nevada, and G. A. Schult,
of Marysville, were killed. Tr.ere were only four
ladies on board the Pearl, ail of whom were saved
without injury. The Messenger of Rhode & Lusk’s
express was killed, and all the express matter lost.
Mr. Samuel Jones, book-keeper of Wells, Fargo &
Co., was badly injured, hot not dargerously. All
ths firemen of the boat but one were ti led. Mr.
Randall was killed. The pilot was badly injured.
Mr. Gilman, clerk cf the boat, was not killed—he
was hut slightly wounded. The steward wa3
saved. Mr. Springie was bally wounded.
A great many died after being taken to the hos
pital,and large numbers of the passengers had their
leg« and arms blown off. Fourteen boaies were
taken to the Station House in Sacramento, and
of these three white and six Chinamen were recog
nized. It is now ascertained that there were about
140 persons on board, of which 85 only were Chi
namen.
The news from the mines is that the rains haTe
once more set in, and as there has been plenty of
auriferous earth thrown up, waiting for the water
to disintegrate the metal. It is expected if the
rain continues steady for a week there will be a
large prod net of gold. The Southern Californian
has received further eonlrmation of the reports of
rich gold diggings in the Kern river section.
Many people are on their way thither, and from
present appearances a the usand people will be at
work there during the winter.
The Indian troubles in the neighborhood of the
Klamath River continue. A number of white
men have been killed—six certainly—and about
thirty Indians. A general rising among the In
dians of the North is leared.
Tmx Mrsua ox Kuan Riteb.—Late arrivals from
Kern River represent the miners as doing remark
ably well, from *ls to *BO per day being the usual
yield. Teama a r e leaving Los Angelos daily for
the river, and a line of stages wid be put on the
route by the Ist February.
From geo' lemen who have just arrived from the
vicinity of Kern River, the Californian receives
still further confirmation of the reports o' rich
gold diggings in that section. Many people are c n
their way there, and from preaent appearance of a
tbouaand persona will be at work daring the week.
CoL Coffee, who haa been prosecuting the Govern
ment survey in that region, lately arrived in Los
Angeioa. We understand that he hae about com
pleted his survey.

The spe -ch 'us received w;tn a round of ap
plause, aud a in y .oa was made that the Chairman
be un&nimoudy elected Prosidontof the Conven

On motion, the Uulv r.ticn waa opened with
prayer by the Bsv. Mr. A:*fXtm of Coweta.
Ua motion of Mr. Hayguvd, of Fulton, a call by
counties for delegates was made, and the several
delegations presented themselves and their names
were recorded. (Not having room in our columns,
aLd having failed to obtain a correct list, wo omit
the names.)
The President rubmitted the proceedings of a
meeting held in Savannah for the purpose of ap
pointing delegates to the Convention: also letters
irom G. W. Germany and Thomas Hatchings of
that city, which were read an i received.
Upon a call of the roll upwards of one hundred
delegates were ascertained to be present, repre
senting 23 or 30 different oounties.
Mr. rhoma=, or Elbert, moved the appointment
of a committae ot twenty-one to p epare and report
business for the Convention; aaid committee to
report at 8 p. m.
Upon tim motion some discussion was excited.
Mr. Norci oss opposed the motion' aa calculated to
embarrass and delay the action of the Convention.
They utoJed no ooinmittee. Tho Convention was
then prepared to proceed to business. He was
h;m-ielr prepared to present buaiWr**.
,Mr. Thomaa said he did not to eigbarrass
the action of the Convention,nor d«iajit. HoTmT
only proposed the committee as it was customary
in such deliberative assemblies. But if the Con
vention was prepared to proceed with business, and
the gentleman from Fulton had a resolu ion to
offsr, ho would withdraw hia motion. The motion
was withdrawn.
Mr. Noroross, of Fulton, submitted a resolution
declaring it expedient to nominate u candidate in
fxvorof p ohibition before the adjournment of the
Convention.
Mr. L. Ecneau, ot Clark, offered as a substitute
resolutions in favor of prohibition aud committing
the Convention to an immediate nomination. Mr.
Ecneau supporte » his motion in an impassioned
speech. He deprecated any delay. The time for
action had come. The party must act, and act at
once. Ho was in favor oi nominating a candidate
for Governor now. Ho was followed by Messrs.
Brantley, of Cans, (late of the Banner,) Smith, of
Newtou, Grest am, of Cherokee, in lavor ot tho
resolutions, and Messrs. Thomas, of EJbert, Doyle,
of Spdding, and Hauleiter, in opposition.
Mr. Haygo >d, of Fulton, obtained the floor and
moved tho following as a substitute.
1. Resolved , That the prehibition ot the tratfloin
ardent spirits as a beverage presents the only hope
of relief from the blighting and destructive influ
ence ofspirituous liquors.
2. That we consider tho success of our
cause i arumount to all political questions now un
der discussion in this State, and pledge ourselves
to the promotion thereof.
8. Resolved, That it is expedient for this Con
vention now to nominate a candidate to be ron
for tne cflioi ol Governor of this Slate at the en
suing election, kn ?wn to boa proper exponent ol
those views.
4. Resolved, That we recommend to tho friends
of prohibition to present candidates for tho Legis
laturo in tho several counties of this State at the
ensuing election, who may bs relied on to carry
out, by proper legislation, tho views of this Con
vention.
The resolutions wore accepted, and the ethers
withdrawn.
Feuding tho passage of these resolutions, Mr.
K. Keneau,of Fulton, made a very animated and
forcible speech iu favor cf prohibition, and sepa
rate and independent action. He spoke feelingly
and eloquently of the manner in which their ap
plications to tho Legislature of the State had been
received, of tho contemptuous disregard of their
positions. He believed that the friends of the
cause had nothing to expect from either of the
dominant parties of the State. Helioved that the
friends of prohibition hud only to unite in order
to carry the reform. Aavocated the immediate
nomination of a standard-bearer for tho purty —
one who should carry their flag from the moun
tains to th seaboard—and believed that the can
didate of tho party would be electe ' in October
next by the largett majority ever given to any man
for the office oi Governor, and that the white and
spotless banner pi temperance and prohibition
would float in triumph from the towerß of the
capital in November next. His speech was re
ceived with bursts of applause.
Mr. Hanleiteroffoied a preamble and resolutions
deprecating precipitate action on the part of the
Convention: believing it inexpedient to nominate
an independent candidate, and proposing to sus
pend action until it could be ascertained whether
either or both of the party candidates lor Governor
would or would not agree to sanction a prohibi
tory law.
Mr. Hunleiter sustained his resolutions by some
pertinent remarks.
On motion the preamble and resolutions wore
laid upon the table.
Dr. J. K. Smith, of Fulton, obtained the floor,
and af.er some questions of order, involving his
right to speak, was permitted *..^pror > eed. He op
posed the nomination of a candidate; believed it
inexpedient to take separate and independent
action. He believed that the question had never
been fairly submitted to the people; that the
press, that unfailing index oi popular feeling, had
□over advocated it. Ho believed, too, that there
were other obligations to party th «t would be con
sidered by thousands of the friends of the cause
as paramount to those of temperance. That there
was another party that seemed silently and unseen
to bo pervading overy state, county and neighbor
hood. That thiß party was said to have acquired
a position and strength iu tho State to render it
advisable that no action on tho part of this Con
vention should array it in opposition to it.
Mr. Thomas, of Elbert, obtained the floor, but
gave way to a motion to adjourn. The Conven
tion then adjourned until 2 p. m.
2 P. M.—Tho Convention re assembled, Mr.
Brantley of Cass rose and prefacing his motion by
some exciting remarks in which he feared that
the time of the convention would be consumed by
speaking, moved to limit each speaker to 20 min
utes.
Mr. Thomas declined to speak if thus limited,
or if the convention did not desire to hear him.
Mr. Doyle of Spaulding opposed tho motion as
ungenerous and unjust. The minority had a right
to be heard.
Mr. Montgomery moved to amend the motion by
allowing Mr. Thomas one hour, and limiting othens
to 20 minutes, which after some considerable dis
oussion was passed.
Mr. Thomas then rose—ho prefaced his remarks
by reading the following resolutions:
Resolved , That tho license laws of this State con
stitute a system wrong in principle, destructive in
its effects to the moral aud physical prosperity of
the people, and ought to be repealed.
Resolved, That the General assembly ought to
pass a law to give immediate and entire control of
tho retail liquor traffic to the people to bo affected
by it.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the friends of tem
perance to take care that tho incumbent of the Ex
ecutive office of this State, bo such a manjas will not
interpose tho veto power to arrest such a law If
passed by tho General Assembly, and therefore we
will nominate a candidate for Governor.
Resolved That wo deprecate tho multiplying of
political parties in this state, and that wo seek no
office by this movement, unless the opponents of
our cause force us to do so—and as a pledge of the
rectitude of our intentions, we herby authorise the
President of this covcntion to appoint a committee
whose duty it shall be to ascertain as soon *s
practicable the opinions of all other candidates who
may bo nominated for Governor, and if one or more
will pledge himself to give the executive sanction
to such a law as is herein indicated, then to with
drawn our candidate from tho contest.
Resolved, That we recommend to the friends of
the cause throughout the State to use all honorable
means to return members of the General Assembly
who will vote for a law to put the retail liquor traf
fic under the control of the people as approved in
the second resolution.
Mr. Thomas stated that he did not propose any
thing new to the Convention; his resolutions only
embodied the sentiments of the Convention ex
pressed two years ago. Ho had opposed the action
of that Convention at first, but subsequent reflec
tion had satisfied him that their course was right.
He had adopted their platform, and regretted to
see this Convention abandon it. He believed it
unwise to form new parties. All that the friends
of reform noeeded with a Governor was to sanc
tion any prohibitory Ipw that might be passed by
the Legislature. Ho believed that either of the
party candidates would do thi«. Ho thought the
only legislative action we required was that asked
by the Convention two years ago. He believed
that if the retail traffic were placed in the hands
of the people they would put it down. We needed
a temperanoo Legislature, and we should strive
for that.
His remarks were listened to with great atten
tion, and portions of his speech elicited loud ap
plause.
He moved his resolutions as a substitute for
those offtred fey Mr. Haygood, which motion was
lost.
The resolutions of Mr. Haygood were then read
severally and adopted.
When the third resolution was read Mr. Thomas
moved his resolutions as a substitute for it. The
motion was lost.
The resolutions of Mr. H. were then adopted.
Mr. Thomas then moved that his resolutions be
taken up and acted on by the Convention. After
some discussion this was dons. The Ist and Brd
were passed, the 2d, 4th and sth were voted
down.
The names of W. H. Crawford, of Bumpter, and
B. H. Overby, of Fulton, were put in nomination
for Governor. The delegates voted by counties,
each county being entitled to the number of votes
it has in the General Assembly of the State, and
upon counting out the votes it appeared that B.
H. Overby received 58 votes and W. H. Crawlord
received 22. Mr. Overby was then nominated *by
acelemation.
A committee was then appointed to notify the
candidate selected of his nomination and request
him to accept.
On motion a committee of twenty-one was ap
pointed, of wnich the President of the convention
was chairman, to prepare and publish an address
to the people of Georgia.
On motion the thanks of the convention were
returned to their President and Secretaries for
their able and impartial discharge of duty.
Oq motion the thanks of the convention were
voted to the city Council of Atlanta for the use of
the City Hall.
On motion the proceedings of the convention
were ordered to be printed in the Temperance
Banner.
On motion the convention adjourned sine die.
A Matob CmcrMvistXD.—The Major of Detroit
determined, a few days aince, to pot a stop to the
driving of fast horses through the principal streets
of that city. So, in company with a posse of po
iicemen, he walked deliberately through the mid
dle of Jefferson avenne, a beautiful, wide street,
which is generally the oonrse for trotters. Arrived
at the end of his promenade, the worthy Mayor
was fatigued, and gladly accepted the invitation of
a gentleman to take a seat in hia cutter. _ No soon
er was he seated than the horse broke into a 2.40
pace, and the conservator of public morals found
himself flying along at a speed quite destructive of
anything like dignity, and entirely subversive of
municipal discipline. The proprietor and driver
of the sleigh made the most strenuous efforts to
stop his horse, and pulled upon the Ones till his
arms were lame, which everybody knows is the
way to stop one of our American trotters, but the
animal could not be induced to tarry, end dashed
on. Tbs other fist ones in the street, seeing the
Mayor set tha example, at onoe entered ‘ Dto J£*
oonteet, and a merry time was the result. The
owner of the horse has aince expressed his extreme
regret that his animal should have behaved so
badly, and threatens to sell him, while the Mayor
baa not aince been seen promenading the avenne.

villains have been at last sheared, as the ciscs ui
murders were again becoming very frequent. On
the 2nd ot January a gipsy caiuo to the chief

threat of immediate cxcc v- n wa3 nex’. t ied on
him, when the gipsy, in order to sa e himsoU,
declared the whole a." a g3t up story. He eupon
ho was sent in charge of a c :vuss to the pi i on,
but neither yarsnor hp.nlcull' are in faahk;i here,
aud the gipsy inunsgo i to make hia escape again.
Next morning he wu found .deal in the open

In tho evening cf the C-aa s nore

fouud to contain the body of an E iglish soldier,
with a bullet through his head.
On the night ofthe oth three F.c oh i rs,
walking through one « f the sire -at i\ra, sud
deuly eimaupc 11 two G.ooks carrying the 1 o iy of
an English suilor. Suspecting tho commission of
afoul deed, the Frenchmen unsiung their rifl.s
which hung at the r sides, and gave cha- o to the
Greeks, wlio instantly dropped their burdm, and
ran off. The chase continued, up one lati-j and
down another, lor some time, when the j u.sued
suddenly halted, and give loud shrill wv.Hlo.
Suddenly the previously empty kmo was c* vvded
with dark figures, who rushed 04 tho unfortunate
Frenchmen who had thus nobly endeuvoioi to
avenge the do th of the Eog'i-h sailor. They
tired, and made a gallant Btand lor some time,
until the overwhelming numbers bore them down,
stabbing and clubbing them without mercy. Soon
after, somo cavasses passing by, tho ruffians dis
appeared again as quickly as they had como to the
rescue of their lellow murderer, but not without
leaving two of the Fronccrnen dead. The third
lived just long enough to make his statement to
the police, who instantly searched all the neigh
boring houses, courts and alleys, but without find
ine anything suspicious whatever.
A former member ot the Bader- Volunteer
Corps, who has been obtaining a scanty livelihood
here by executing all sorts ot commissions, where
by he not unfrcquently camo in contact with seme
of the scam of all uati us, volunteered to find the
haunt of this mysterious gang, aud a* ho could be
generally depended upon, his tender was accepted,
and u dagger aud a revolver given him for protec
tion. Ou tho morning ot tho Shh he w * found
dead outside of Peru. A cava 3, who had also
volunteered to solve the mystery, l.kewis fill a
victim, and was picked up 0110 morning C3vcred
with dagger wounds und perfectly dead.
On the 11th, however, the was solved.
It happened as follow..: —A Polo ot the name of
G’abacz, and an Italian, Pisani by name happened
to occi py the same room. Tho Italian led a vory
free and easy life, was seldom at home, r.n 1 do<-s
not appear to have been a novieo in gambling ei
ther. After having been out a l night, Pi&uni en
tered their common dwelling on tho morning of
the loth, with dejected look, which caused his
friend the Polo to demand of him what ill luck h?
had had. Pisani answered, that ho had lost all
his cash that night at play, and had even to leave
his gold watch as security for a borrowed sum, ad
ding “ I shall go and redeem >• y watch directly or
the rascally host will change it—and I would not
lose that watch for tho world. Hung these name
less streets and numberless houses 1 I shouid de
spair of finding the cabaret again but f.r a clover
trick ol mine ; as I left tho houso I cut a large
cross on tho house door with my knife—that is
my only guide, but it is a mark which tho old
rogue cannot easily efface.” Ho took ail his mon
ey and every valuable trinket he possessed and
departed determined to loose all or win his money
back.
Glabacz had a presentiment that something would
go wrong, and determined to go in search cf his
friend if he did not make his appoarunco by next
morning. Morning came, but no Pisani; aud Gla
baez therefore set out to carry his resolution im of
feet. He had waudered about fruitlessly for alv at an
hour, when heenteroda small carburet to r. iresh
himself with a glass of rum. lie gave the 1 ost a
piastre, and demanded his change in paras. In one
of these paras he had only the day before scratched
his name with u nail,and rccvgn.zjd lias belonging
to Pisani, who must have given away that para.
Ho therefore entered into conversation with tho
gin-shop koeper, asked him whether on lialien
had been here lately, and whether ho ha 1 play ed
at his house. The man evaded tho question, and
his manner appeared altogether so odd that Glabacz
quietly took his departure In order to bavo a look
at the street door. Sure enough, there w s tie cross
hurriedly scratched on tho outside. Turning into
the next street, ho met a tile of policemen attend
ing on somo arabas, which contained tha bodies
of those who had fa'len victims n tho past
night. There ere Id corpse-; cf the.'C 7 were
English, 4 French : Pisani iay lifeless here too.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch,

Staunton, Saturday Night, Feb. 24.—The Circuit
Court has been engaged since Tuesday 1 in the
investigation of the alleged caso of Seduc-ion, al
luded to in a previous letter, and will probably not
get through with it before Monday evening. The
plaintiff claims damages to the amount of SIO,OOO.
Messrs. Stuart and'Baldwin are his c tinsel;
Michio, Bheffey, and It. P. Kinney, for the i. vud
aot. I have seldom r.oeu such in: ores:, ma .Boated
in a civil action, by tlio citizens of this comm mity,
ia which I am happy to say, cases of this eharac
ter are extremely rare. The courthouse has been
literally jammed during tho progress cf »ho trial,
and speculations a* to tho result arc heard on all
sides. Without expressing any opinion myself, I
will briefly state tho positions of the parties liti
gant, and before 1 mail this, give you the verdict
of the jury, if they can agree, which is thought to
be doubtful.
The statement of tho Plaintiff, by his counsel, is
to this effect: That about t . ho years iio
received into his family, as an adopted d u Tiler,
a little girl six yoars of age who had beni left by
tho death of both her humble parents in a desolfito
and destitute condition upon tho cold charitiosef
the world, &ho was treated in all respects as bis
own child, and every attention was ’pai l to her
mental and moral training. Tnat ho was affection
atoly attached to her, was evident from the doep
feeliDg whioh he manifested during the j rogre.-s
of the trial. She lived in his l’urai’y un f il she bad
reached the ago of mxtocn, when the astouudiug
discovery wlh made that she was about to become
a mother. Tho discovery overwhelming to
both her parents, who h d never barb red * sus
picion adverse to their adopted daughter’s purity
and virtue. She told her story, and charge 1 that
the defendant had sought and won her joung as
factions, seduced her from the path cf rectitude,
ana under promise of marriage, accomplished hor
rain.
Thedsfendant, on the contrary, denies the whole
story and clr.rges that tho alleged victim of his
seductive arts and false promisor, is a female of
loose princip es, if not entirely abandoned char
acter.
During tho second day’s proceedings, qnito a
thril ing incident occurred in the Courthouse.
The defendant had introduced a witness, who
swore positively to the fact of criminal intercourse
between himself and tho female iu question, pro
vious to the date of hor alleged int m »cy wi n the
defendant. When tho question was propounded
to him and he answered affirmatively, 1 ho poor
unfortunate girl gave a shri
forget, und pointing her dol cate little h: < a' the :
witness in the box, pronounced the ta.-!iiuoi.y
basely false. She subsequently bcci. o deeply
affected that she was removed from the Court
house, but was again re-called, when she declared
upon oath that she h3d never before laid eyes upon
the witness. A number of gentlemen testified, at
a subsequent stage of the proceedings, that from
a knowledge of his general character, they wou d
not believe him upon oath, while others atated
uuhesitati-glv that they would.
The defendant is a young man of attractive per
sonal appearance, a lawyer by of whom
I know nothing, either good, bad or indiTerent,
save what I have gathered from the te-timeny in
this cause. His alleged victim is a comely, upright
ly looking fema’e, now ninet en years oi age.
The argument waa opened ye-’erday morning by
Col. Baldwin, with his usual ability. Ho vas fol
lowed by Mr. Shcffey, for the defender r, in a
speech of rare power; t -day Mr. Michio made
one of the most masterly arguments, on the same
side, that I have ever listened to. Mi. Stuart will
conclude the argument on Monday, and the case
will be submitted to the jury. I will add aP.
giving you the result.
Mo jin ay Evening.
Mr. Stuart addressed the jury for about four
hours this morning, but thj courthouse was so
crowded I did not have the opportunity to hear
him. The jury retired, and having remained in
their room for several hour?, returned to the judge
a moment ago with the information that they could
not agree. Toe judge adjourned th em over until
tomorrow. If they should agr o I will let you
know, bat I trust it may be bet down as a “hung
jury. Yours in baste, Lenox.

Steamboat Dtiaateri—Three titeamera hunk—
lioata aud Cargoes Lost.
We have to record the losa by sinking, of three
hrgo boats trading between this port aud Now
Orleans, within as many days. The unfortunate
boa’s are the H. D. Bjood, Dresden, and James
Robb, all bound to New Orleans with cargoes of
produce. We have gathered the following par
ticulars of tli9*o disasters:
The officers of tho steamer New Luey, which
arrived from Now Orleans on Sunday night,
brought intelligence of the sinking of ho Dresden
and Kobb. Tho Dresden enmo in contact with u
sunken wrook, at widow Merriweather’s, a few
miles below Now Madrid, last Thursday. A holo
was torn iu her hull—and she bogan to sink rapid
ly. She was run ashore as soon as possible and
sunk—hor bow r.p to the guards and her stern in
fifteen or twenty leot water. She is cureened con
si lerablv, and it is doubtful whether she can be
raised. The impression is that tho boat and cargo
are a total losa. The Dresden had on bourd a
Urge and valuable cargo, and we have been unable
to get a full list of her freight.
The following items have been ascertained:
John Duffy shipped 1,275 sacks of oats; John
McCleggan, 680 sacks do.; H. T. Ferguson, 800
sacks do.; M. Fallon,Boo sacks of bran; H. Ames
& Co., 156 bbls. of the whole amount of oats
would probably reach 4,000 sacks. It is thought
that nearly all tho froight will bo lost, or if re
covered, will bo in a very damaged condition.
The Dresden is owned by Capt. Saltmash— her
commander—and others, the Captain owning five
eighths of the boat, for whioh she was insured in
offices iu this city for $14,600. The boat was
valued at about $20,0C0.
Tho Dresden was comparatively a new boat and
was very valuable as a freight boat. Tho steamer
Now Lucy drew up alongside and took off a por
tiou of her crew.
The second boat in tho unfortunate list is tho
James Kobb. She struck a long near the fcot of
Devil’s Island, above Cape Girarde «u, on Satur
day last, whioh tore away a part of her hull. She
was run ashore as speedily as possible aud sunk
in a short time. She lies in about twenty feet
wuter at tho atom, and in four or five feet at the
I'ow. The water at the stern runs over her oabiu
floor. I; is said that the Kobb will also be a total
loss. Most of her cargo will he lost. It consisted
of flour, whisky, lard, grain, and about seventy
head of cattle, amounting in all to near six
hundred tons.
The steamer H. D. Bacon was in sight when the
Robb sunk and wont to her assistance. Tho Ba
con took off'the stock, aud a few light articles of
froight, aud pawned on down. The New Lucy
when she arrived came alongside and took off hor
crow. Tho Kobb was a very fine and popular
bout, and herlosß will bo sensible felt in tno Now
Orleans trade. She was owned by Capt. H. Cur
roll, her commander, and others, and was insured,
iu cffi.cs in Louisville and Cincinnati. Os hor
freight, she had of flour alone over 2000 barrels,
all of which will bo more or less damaged, und
much of it entirely lost.
Tho last boat hoard from In thia unfort mate list
of victims is the H. D. Bacon, and she appears to
bo the most hopelessly sunk, if indeed, there bo
any choice.
Tho H. D. Bacon loft this port for Now Orleans
on Thursday last, with a valuable cargo. She struck
a log near Widow Beard’s Island, wnich broke her
hog chains and some of tho timbers in her hull,
causing her to loak slightly, but not so as to dam
age any of hor cargo. Bhe ran to Kush Tower,
whero she lay for aoout twenty hours repairing
hor hog chains, Ac., so as to be able to continue
her trip. Bho then started on, aud was in sight oi
’.ho James Kobb when she met with her fatal acci
dent. Tho Bacon, as wo have before stated, took
about seventy heud of stock from the Kobb.
Tho following particulars of her sinking we have
from Captain Carlile, one of the pilots of the boat,
who arrived in the city, last evening.
When she was rounding te at Cairo, about $
o’clock on Sunday evening, she struck a rock for
ward of the forward hatch, and tore a largo holo
in her hull. She began to sink very rapidly. The
wheels wore immediately stopped, and she floated
off town stream. The hold was instantly tiled
with water, and when it was beginning to float
over the lower deck tho stock were cut loose.
Only five or six cattle out of the sevonty succeed
ed in reaching shore; tho remainder wore drown
ed. When the water closed over the lower deck
two or three hundred barrels of lard and whiskey
wero swept overboard aud lost. It is thought all
the freight on deck was lost in this manner. The
boat sunk to the cabin floor in less than two min
utes, aud in this manner flouted down about half
a mile.
All the peop’e on beard had goneto the hurricane
deck, aud the bell was rung for help. The steamer
N. W. Graham, which wa» lying at Cairo, went to
theif assistance und took off the officers and crew,
and a few deck p eseugeis, there being no cabin
passengers on board. The boat at length came to
halt on some rocss, there she now lies in about
eighteen feet water. One of Ead’s A Nelson’s Beil
boats, which was at the wreck of the Chancellor
went to the Bacon, and will probably succeed in
getting some of the ireight out of the hold in a
damaged condition. The boat is doubtless a total
loss ; al*o the greater part of the cargo.
The H. D. Bacon was commanded by Capt. Cun
ningham, and belonged lo Messrs. McAllister A
Co, George Taylor and John Lowery, and was
vulued at $2 >,o<*o. Bhe was insured lor $14,(00,
iu the following office*: Lumberman’s $4,000;
Pac.fi. $4,000 ; Globj $8,o00; and Citizens SBOOO.
Her freight list was iDbured in the Globe company
for thro3 to S4OOO. Her cargo may b 3 summed up
as follows: Flour, 8,675 barrels; whiskey, 50
barrels; lard, 800 barrels; oats, 100 sacks.
We iearn that Messrs. Hewitt A Richmond were
heavy shippers having $6,000 worth of lard, and
$9,000 worth of flour on board.
It is a consoling reflection that in these three
disasters no lives v.eio lost, though the amount of
property must be enormous. We have heard 10
estimate made, and in the present uncertainty with
regard to the amount of freight whioh may be
damaged or entirely loet, —we cannot venture up
on one. Certain it is, that the loss of these boats
will have an influence on the shipping interests of
St. Louis, at east, for a time, until their places can
bo supplied by others.
The Intelligencer of the same day says :
These are hard times on steamboat man and in
surance offices. Throe of oar first-class steam
boats, with full cargoes, sunk in one week, and
causing a loss of property amounting to not less
than $200,000 worth of property, is a blow that
will not be lightly felt, and compose a truly fright
ful chapter of aciidents.

Ird an Troubles lu Texaa.
A letter to the San Antonio Texan, dated Frede
ricksburg, February 7th,says:
The I idians in thia section have committod some
of the most daring, unherj-d of ravages in our
frontier history. On the first day of the
month, a party o-ima to Mr. J. E Doss’s stock
ranebo, about twenty mile* west of this place, and
out of mere wanton oruo'ty, killed fifty or sixty
head of fine fat oattlo, left them or many of them
lying not touched by aught savo the fatal arrow,
whieh had caused their death. Basides tbi-*, they
have stolen every horse and muU up m which they
could lay their hands, in every direction; and
then, as if not satirflsd with thus destroying the
hard earned property of iho peaooabio, industrious
farmers; they determined t> proceed a step fur
ther, and imbrue their hands in human gore; being
resolved as it seemed, to ascertain whether or not
there were any among us who would venture to
turn out and ohastise them, as they so r ohly de
served.
They accordingly on last Saturday, the 8d inst.,
came upou a German of tho namo of Foroh in the
woods, whither ho had goue to work, aud mur
derod him in the most horrible maunor, having
shot him literally full of thuir ac ursod arrows;
and alter stripping him of overy article of Clothing
of any value, they concealed his body in a small
thicket, took his hor-e and sot ont tgain, to seek
for other victims! Net long did they havo to

The San Antonio Texan has received a commu

that quarter—horses, mules and cattlo killed and
drivoa off from every quartor, and the inhabitants

China.— Wo have been favored with a China
circular of December 9 h, containing an extract
from tho Hong Kong Register of the 6ib, as fol
lows :
“Tho accounts from Canton by yesterday’s post
boat have eg in given occasion for alarm, or at
least for anxiety, and have, we suppose, led to tho
departure of the Barracouta. We have be6U so

have mustered in foroe in the Muoao Passage. On
Saturday a continuous engagement was kept up
during the whole da, between the Imperial and
Triad fleets. The smoke, whi h rose iu volumoß
above the trees and hills, extended over a lino of
several miles. The force of the insurgents is said
to consist ot 850 or* ft of various sisoa and do
ucriptions, tilled w'th men well armed according
to the Chinese fashion. On Sunday the cannon
ade was still kept up till tho afternoon. This ad
vance has not been without etfd on tho native
population, whose supplies have been long strait
owed by the insurgent operations. Chinese of
respectability, finding that notwithstanding their
liberal contributions, no progress is made in the
restoration cf pcaco and order, are beginning to

lif ports or Dry Goods. —The Now York Journal
of Commerce presents its monthly statement of
the imports of dry goods at that port. The im
ports again show a lurgo decline, the total for the
last four weekß being $2,157,227 less than for the
corresponding period of last year, end $8,156,240
less than for the same time in JBSB. Ti e compara
tive figures are—February 1858, $8,721,822; 1854,
$7,427,249; 1855, $4,81*4,685. Total thrown ou tho
market same periods—lßsß, $9jL54,7jUjL 1854, $9,-
064,989; 1806, $5,897,762. The failing off in the
imports for the month is oven greuter in the
amount entered directly for consumption, the total
entered for warehousing shows an increase, while
the withdrawals from warehouse show a still larger
increuse, proving that the market is not over
stocked, even ior tho sinull trado doing. The
total decrease in the imports of d»-y goods during
the last eight weeks ts compared with the same
period of Jaßt year, $6,759,804, and $6,091,865, as
corapured with the same period of 1858. Tho
Journal remarks:
“The falling off has been grontost In silks, but
has also been very large in both cottons and wool
en g. We stated in our Junuary exhibit, that the
imports for del very won'd show a less compara
tive declino than had hem exhibite 1 for tho pre
vious two mouths, and this is verified by the state
ment now rendered. The total rece : pts of dry
goods last year, for the five weeks ending March
80th, 1854, amounted to $8,799,161; wo do not
think the mpoits ter tho next fl /e weeks, will fall
fa. below the same amount. It is evident that the
ratio of deohne is now far less than it has been
during the previous three months, and that the
period of greatost difference is past.

Volcanic Repeating Pistol —Wo have aeon nn4
fired a pistol, recently invented and patented,
which bids fiir to excel every thing in that lint
t 1 at has y t bo m offered to the public attention.
It soems to* combine all that could bo desired in
such a w eapon. Colt’s pistol compared with It
seema like a distortion, or a clumsy, uncouth, and
ridiculous affair for a fire arm. The vo’canio piR
tol carri s a Minis or conical hall, in a rifle barrel,
and will put it through a three inch plank at a
distance of ninety rods. The receiving tube will
hold ten bail Cirtiidgos, wh'ch may be deposited
in two seconds of time. The piston may bo dis
charged thirty times in fifty seconds. It is so
contrived that it is not liable to accidental dis
charge. There ia no priming, no caps, rnd thero
fore no danger to tho eyes from any ignition near
the broach. Neither is there any recoil, so as to
jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. Tho whole con
struction is so simple ms not to get out of order
even from lODg use. The powder and r all are en
closed in the samo metallic cover, so that a person
could swim a river with one of these in his belt
without in the slightest degree injuring the powder.
In short, the weapon is in all respeots one of the
most perfect things in the shooting lino that wo
ever took into our hands.— New Haven Ha'Aadium.
The Baltic's Letters. —The Journal of Com
merce says: The .etlera by the B iltic have a more
cheerful tone than the published accounts Bever
ul of the leding Lor don Bar kerß write, that, iu
their opinion, commercial affairs will r.how an im
provement which will continue throughout tl e
summer and autumn, in spite of the war. The
mail bring* out liberal orders for American secu
rities, and the English fund maintian a remarka
ble buoyancy, considering tlie stale of political
affairs. We notioe that large ordcrH have boon
received from the continent, and particularly from
France, fcr various article* of foreign and domes

the former cannot be conveniently, owing 'o tho
absence of French vessels. Wby tho French ship
owner* are not shrewd enough to see the propriety
of sending out French ships with their o.dera for
Cub* molasses, when there ia a discriminating
duty in their favor, can be accounted for only
on the supposition that th ir range of vision is
bounded b> Martiuiqai end Guadalupe. In mo t
other countries tho Government are far be

mercial operations, but i/ France it ia other wife,

Quarantine. —The Vicksburg Whig, of the 7th,
says that “the city of Natchez has deputed their
talented and gentlemanly Ileal h Officer, Dr. L.
P. Blackburn, to urge before the Legislature of
Louisiana, now in session, the importance of es
tablishing a Quarantine at the Baiize, in order to
teat the momentous and absording questions an to
whether or not the valley of the Mississippi may
not be protected from that terrible appallirg
scourge the yellow fever , which has proved bo dis
astrousto the lives and interests of tho people of
this section.”
It is supposed that the Council of Vicksburg will
also s'nd a deputy to Baton Rouge to zo operate
wi’b Dr. Blackburn. We should not be surprised
it similar movements were made in the towns and
villages on the Mississippi, within the range of tho
yellow fever.
The Whig, of th • following day, concludes an
article on the same eubject with the following re
marks:
1 lan it be possible that U e city of New Orleans
will be bo forgetful of her interests as not to use
a’l possible means to insure tho establishment of
the quarantine. If she fails to do so plaoes
that are now forced to trade with her during the
prevalence of tne epidemic, must in self defense,
make arrangements to do all their business either
in Memphis, St. Louis or Louisville. The trade
now going South to New Orleans must find un
natural depots for its action. Let that city wake
up to its interests. More anon.”
If a quarantine ia established at the Baiiz?, tho
Lake approaches to the city should also be quar
antined. And tho enforcement of the law should
be rigid, cr else no good would result frem tho
measure. We have little hope of the passage of a
law of the kind this session that will answer the
ranch-needed ends, but n?xt winter, we confi
dently anticipate success.—A T . O. Bulletin,

These facts leave only oue InfoTonoo. With all
this, is creeping on a general distrust in the
soundness ot houses iu trade, the ahund mco of
mouey is keeping thorn up now, but how long will
it last?
Why do not tho Mills work “abort time?”
li’cuusc Cotton is cheap and they rely on tho
power of oh ap goods to force extended murk ts
for themselves, besides it is u vory heuvy 1 »ss to
tho Mill owners to stop or work “short time,”
nothing but necessity will sufli'o to make 1 horn.
Their operatives become dispersed, the r machine
ry deteiiorated, their intere.-t and le t rnn on,
their ox| ences are great to keep things in order—
so long as they can york to l.ws loss tha t hoy
would incur by stopping, they will work. They
oaa do so now,sbut when tho 10-s is a little great r
they must and will stop. The state ol' Tr de l
have described prevents any advance in their
goods no mutter what Cotton goes io. If Cotton
advances while goods are stationary—‘.heir loss
by working soon excoods the loss by stopping, and
they will stop. This is the point 1 thi k yen
overlook in your circulars. Tho price of CAton
is the solution of tho question whether **) ort time

Wo regrot that such a sodden change Ims ; gain
corn© over thi* gs that wo dare not ‘uko upon our
selves to recommend our friends at pieseut to
*end out orders for Cotton at such limits as wo
fool sure will only bo practicable, knowing that
about the present time yon wil', with our r cent
chocring ndvices, bo np at figures too high by far,
for a profitable result on our present scales, and
which we think probable may not ho exceeded by
more than an per lb. for awhile at leant, us
short time is now certain; and if Piu tin j T a
Russia tho export demand will almost cess**, us
already merchants begin to tremble for the Con
tinental Bank credits. Things look vory gloomy
here, and if wo prosecute the war, with r g >r,
mouey willhe wanted in which, will Jtqnp
down a»l speculation, and Chiton never get adodrtc d
on rner ly Trade buying. The now crop proves
very poor in quality.

Wo have your favor of 22 1 u t., with circular,
and note carefully your views as to Cotton which
probably under ordinary cirouiustanc-s
would liavo proved quite correct, —but tho (lids
of tho war und the state of Foreign markets ap
pear to exert a paramount influence ovor this
market, and to preclude tho chance of a profit
unless prio s with yon recede to tb ntonridsis
(say 6>£ cents f>r Middling Cotton with >£d.
treigh .) Our market is heavy und wi h over) up
pearance of going lowor. Tho apprehend »n of
the largo arrivals which must cause sooner or later,
frightens holders and tho pressure to so l con
tinues. Wo much fear there is iitt'o g'od to I o
dono this yoar in Cotton. Tho only chum* is
lower prices with you. Wo still look for iuilures.

Romance in Real Life.— Some years ago a very
beautiful young lady was tho wurd of a person
in Louisiana, who defrauded her out of quite a
large fortune. This lady came to this city, w 1 oro
ahe married, but not living on good term with
her husband, finally obtained a divorce from him
and rotirod to a convent. Whilst she whs there
she roceivcd a lo’tcr from tho bod of her farmer
guardian, informing her of his father’s dca’h,
and that himselfhad heired ull his vast property,
bu! that he could not consent to retain that which
had been treacherously taken from another, and
offering to make restitution.
The lady immediately proceeded to Louiftiana,
had an interview with the heir, au«lreceived back,
both principal ar.d interest, all that she hud been
wronged out of. The stra'gost part of tho story
remains behind. No sooner had she got possession
of her fortune than she returned to this city,
■ought out her former husband ; and in a u w dry*
was re married to him. Verily, the love of w man
passe th understanding. The janies are now liv ug
in St. Louis, and it iB to be hoped wII agree
better than formerly.— Louie Intel l ye,io r.
Mope Excitement at Mt. Pleasant.— A corres
pondent at Mt. Piearant inform* u* thu th ri is
ut present considerable excitement in that litt’e
village, and fears are entertained of an unpleasant
disturbance. It will be remembi red that a num
ber of ladies lately destroyed a lot ofliqm ra there,
thus breaking up tho only “bar-room” in the
town. It appears that a German who keeps a
bakery there also sells beer. The ladies have no
tified him that if his countrymen chco o to drink
beer ho can sell it to them ; but if he offers to give
orsoLl any of his malt extract to any of their rela
tives or to any American they will give him u spe
cimen of feminine bravery by entering 1 is hone*
and dof-troying his beer kegs. Tho baker, r-ome
wbat frightened, calied a meeting of Ibe beer
drinkers ut his homo last Monday evening, when
it was determined to defend tho beer at all haz
ards, even if fire arniß had to bo resorted to. It
is feared that if tho women attempt to destroy the
baker’s beer tbey wiii oe fired upon and that a
disastrous disturbance will onsuo.— Cincinnati

The Chinese Revolutionary Leader.— The Rev.
J. F. Roberts, a missionary to China, recently de
ivered a lecture at Louisvi le, on the insurrection.
He alluded particularly to the leader, and said hat
he ha first visited the house of Mr. K -berts in
1849. He was then a literary.man, engaged in
teaching school. His visit was superinduced by
a desire to learn from Mr. R. what be know con
cerning the new faith, as he termed the Christian
religion. With him—an inmate of his bouse, a
close stndent, strict in hie attendance on worship,
and diligent in peril iug the Bible—hi remained
ove- two mouths. Then he presented hmi ell as
i n applicant for baptism and clinron membiiship,
but at tho suggestion of cno of the m Jiiioe’H, de
ferred oeing baptized until some means of liveli
hood coald be obtained. This was necessary, as
the instant he left his native religion, he would
lose his caste.
As or that Mr. Roberts heard nothing further of
bis pupil until the insurrection broke « ut. As it
tnumj hed, the loader sent word to his old teacher,
acd has demonstrated, at least so Mr. R >bcrta
thinks, by his acts and word*, that the lef-sous
taught by the American missionary were iu< ffuce
able. Among h s public acts are law* ordering
the bihle to bo taught in schools; the destruction
of idols; the prohibition of opium, and other io
forms that have already hud a happy effeoi uccn
the revolutionary districts. Os the ultimate suc
cess of the revolution there seems to be no doubt.
From it great results are anticipated to religion
and commerce, for though there may be much
falsity in the belief of the revolutionary parly,
they have advanced far beyond the ex lu'ivenesu
of the old Tartar dynasty ßaltimore American.
