I “ Books not weghing over four pounds may be
sent in the mail, prepaid, at one cant sn ounce any
distance in tho United States under three thousand
milos, and at two cents an ounce over three thou
sand miles, provided they are put up without a
cover or wrapper, or in a cover or wrapper open
at the ends or sides, so that their charac'-er may be
determined without removing the wrapper. If
not prepaid the postage under tnreo vnousand
miles in the United States three cents an ou.tcs.
“It is a violation of the law to enckse or con
ceal a letter or other thiag, (except bills and re
ceipts for subscription,) or of communication tfier
its publication upon any newspaper, pamphlet,
magazine, or other printed matter. In ah such
caeee letter postage should be demanded, and, if
the person addressed refuse to pay such letter
postage, the package ahoold be returned to the

A Pacific Ton*. —The Journal of Commerce
recapitulates the various outrages, so-called, that
have been committed by Spain against the United
States., and then sonclndea in the following mod
erate lone:
"Nevertheless we have no idea that the difficul
ties that exist are likel7 Is invo ve us in a war with
Spain. "War is unnecessary to effect the result we
aim at, and can only be the consequence of gross
mismanagement on our part, or an insane folly on
the part of Spain, which there ia no reason to
anticipate. The pretiee consequence of Captain
McCauley's mission cannot ba foretold ; but wa
trn»t that the firmness which tho emergency re
quires, will be accompanied by 'tie utmost mod
eration that is consistent with national honor. Tho
people of the United Btates want peace, and they
will hold to severe account those who purposely
exaggerate tho present embarrassments, for the
parpose of involving us in wsr. The long chain
of provocations which has been offered by Ameri
cans against the Caban Government should bo
remembered, and mitigato our resentment at the
manner in which they have been retaliated.
"Above all. It should be borne in mind that tho
annexation of Cuba has nothing whatever to do
with the present qaestion ; that the vast majority
of Americans would regard the acquisition of that
island as a national disaster, and would consider
the administrationol General Pieroe unpardonably
eulpabls, if it woro to make the outrages that have
been committed a plea for attaining that object.
War would ba an unmingled calamity for the
United Slates; and though the chief burden of
mjary might fall on Spain, it would react fatally
upon our own interests, and if wise counsels pre
vail, it will not be Deeded.”

Morbai.itt in New Yoke Uppebtendom. —May
or Wood of New York, received a communication
from a young lady on Fifth Avenue, informing
him of a houso kept by a reputodly highly respec
table person on Groen street, as an assignation
house. The young iady herself had been frequen
tly importuned to go there:
His honor, thinking the affair of sufficient im
portance to warrent him in making pome investi
gations, placed tho matter in the hands of a trusty
officer with instructions to oolleot such informa
tion as was in his power. The officer accordingly
set to work, and ascertained beyond a doubt that
some twenty five of tho moat rospcotable ladies
residingin tho Fifth-avenue and vicinity, were in
the h»oit of frequenting this house for the purpose
of fulfilling engagements made to gentlemen of
high standing in society.
This information waa promptly reported to the
Mayor, wlio was subsequently put ia possession of
the uaraos and residences of thirteen of the ladies
above designated, and the namos, residences and
occupation of ton of the gentlemen referred to.
Gov. Kkedsb, of Kansas.— Gov. Reeder has be

“ Thoro is a feeling raising in the Territory
against '.he governor that only his absence will pre
vent a gouoral outbreak. Revolution is in every
mouth ; and if the President still persists in forcing
Reeder upon us, God only knows what the conse
quence will be. We hope, we pray, that wi will
no spared the necessity of such desperate mens
urns ; but ii wo are left tho alternative of livirg
under a despotio government, or of choosing a
moro honorable mode of freeing ourselves, we aro
plain to admit that wo shall choose the latter
course. In the lar.guago of Patrick Henry—“ Give

Pacific Hallroad.
New Yobk, April Ilth, 1855.
Edit,* or th* Cbboniole A Sintinie —Sib: l’er
! mit me to call yonr attention to the editorial article
I in the New York Herald ot Monday, the 9‘.b inst.,
! entitled "Pacific Railroad—Survey of the Southern
I Route,” and to ask the favor that you will re-pub
I lish it, for the information of the Southern people.
: It was for the purpose of cauaiog this survey to be
I made, thstl consented to become a Direc'or of the
Atlantic and Pacific Eailroad Company. My ob
| iect was to prove to the country what I knew to be
’ a fact, that the Southejn route is the only practic
able one for a railway to the Pacific; and that the
legislation of Congress, in attempting to provide
for the construction of a road on any of the North
ern lines, would be misdirected, and in the end
prove to be utterly futile. The line which we have
surveyed, and to which the article in the Herald
refers, is Socth of all the lines surveyed by the
War Department, under the appropriation by Con
gress. Tha Government has spent, I believe,
about three hundred thousand dollars in their
surveys, and have failed to find a line sufficiently
practicable to induce the commencement of the
work, either by the Government, or incorporated
companies; whilst the line we have surveyed i*
graphically sketched in the article in the Herald,
with the exception that it runs the whole distance
thro gh a fertile country, susceptible of profitable
cultivation; and not as the Herald baa it—“of
desert-like character from one extremity to the
other.” This survey establishes the fact that the
Southern States possess the only practicable line
•or a railroad to the Pacific, and that their institu
tions will proceed, peri pauu with its construction,
lo that ocean. It will open to Southern enterprise
the rich mining districts of New Mexico, Cbihu»-
hua, Sonora and California. The necessities which
will govern the accomplishment of this enterprise,
will show that slave labor must be employed in its
construction. Passing, as it will, more than a thou
sand milts through a rich mining country, it will
be impossible to retain free laborers upon the work,
at any price which the most extravagant expend
iture would justify. In a country where Wild ad
venture is the characteristic spirit of the popula
tion, as it is in all mining districts, and where for
tunate “strikes” may possibly procure large sums
with a very small amount of labor, the people be
oome averse to regular expioyment at stated rea
sonable wages. This work, from the eastern line
of Texas to the Pacific, will, with the exception of
abont throe hundred miles in the eastern counties
of Texas, pass through a region which is, at pres
ent, almost uninhabited, bat susceptibio of sus
taining a dense population, which will flow along
the line aa the work progresses, but not in sufficient
force to control the tnrbnlent masses of foreign
laborers usually employed in our railroad under
taking*. Oar slave population, therefore, affords
the only description of labor which can be availed
of,with safety and certainty, for the accomplish
ment of this great work. This description of labor
is already protected by tho institutions of Texas,
through which eight hundred and fifty miles of tho
line will run ; and also in the territory acquired
under the Gadsden treaty, which is now annexed
to New Mexico; that territory being authorized,
in the law organising its Government, to come
into the Union as a State, with or without slavery,
as tho people shall determine.
The distance from El Passo, ou the Western line
of Texas, to tho rivor Celorado, tho Eastern line

Pacific Railroad — Survet or the Southern
Ro*te. —Wo havo received a small volume in man
uscript, abounding in beautiful pictorial illustra
tions, and embracing tho results of a topographi
cal roconnoissanco of the extreme Southern ronto
for a railroad from the Mississippi valley to the
Pacific ocean, by A. B. Gray, late U. S. Surveyor
of the Mexican Boundary Commission. This
manuscript wo shall publish os soon as wo oan
conveniently make room for it in our oolumna. In
the meantime, we oan promise our readers that
this reconuoissauco will give all tho practioal in
formation desired io reference to this Southern
Pacific route. .
Th ho notes include an examination of the entire
Southern lino, from the eastern limits of Texas
wostward to tho Rio Grande and K1 Paso ; thence
through the defiles, and over tho depressions of
the Sierra Madre, or Rocky Mountains, into the
elevated table lauds of the Gadsden corn try ;
theuco following tho general direction of Colonel
Cooke’s wagon route to tho Pacific. The advan
tages of this ronto, as shown in tho late report of
the Sectary of War, over all the other Paoific
rentes for a railroad, are that it is from five to
eight hundred miles shorter than any other, that
it is entirety free from the obstructions of bdows
and freshets, that it will require no tunnelling,
very little bridge bnilding, and that over the
greater part of it the cross tics and rails may be
laid down with little or no grading, end that thero
are vory tow points where any heavy grading will
be required. The disadvantages of this route are
the general abssuoo of timber, the general scarcity
of water, and the predominating desert-like char
acter of the country, from one extremity to the
other. These drawbacks, howovor, exist on every
othei route, in addition to tho obstacles of vast
chains of snow-covered mountains, volcanic defiles,
deep ravines and waters courses, and a great in
crease of the length of the journey. Wore other
things equal, the single item in favor of Iba ex
treme Southern route, of a saving of at least fiv
hundred miles over any othor from the Mississippi
valley, wonld be conclusive. But it has advantages
in respeot to olimate and topography equally de
cisive. Ittnrns the vast mountain barriers, wnioh
by ail the other routes, will havo to be climod over
or tunnelled.
Nature and the topographical ongiuoers concur
in favor of this extreme Southern ronto. There
is, and oan be no other practicable route for a Pa
cific railroad for half a centnry to come, within the
limits of tho United Slates, short of tho annexa
tion of Mexico. And, as the next Congress may
be oalled upon to decide whether they will deviso
the ways and means for tho Pacific road, or con
sent to the loss of all our Pacific territories in the
establishment of an independent Republic, the
road by this Boutheru route, »» the only really
practicable one, suggests itself as a great Union
measure, and an imperative pnblio duty at any
cost. .
The Battle o» Inxsbkarr. —By a eonfessicn
made by the writer of “The Story of the Cam
paign,” publishing iu Blockwood’s Magnaine, and
himself an officer of Arli lery, serving in the
Crimea, a piece of good fortune actually saved the
British from complete destruction at tho battle of
Inkermann. There was a moment, he says, in
the progress of the battle, when the right of tho
English position 1 was absolutely without deience,
aud the enemy, by advancing resolutely, must
have turned it, but, from some panic, or some
other cause, they fortunately retired instead of
advancing.” Before the Russians returned to the
attack, the routed regiments were rallied, fresh
troops were brought up, and a French division
came up, and, throwing themselves into the com
bat, pressed tho Russians back. Upon tbir, tho
New York Sun eays:
Usd the Rassisns succeeded in turning the Eng
lish right—and we are told it was once in their
power—tlie groat object for which the battle was
fought on the Russian side would, most probably,
have beer, gained. The writer in Blackwood says:
Our position once penotra'ed, the plains affor
ded ample space for the deployment of the col
umns, winch might then attack in succession the
different corps ot the allied army scattered on the
plateau at intervals too wide for mutual and con
certed defence.

capaciiy is equal to that of the largest three deck

Jlsval Usage in Bringing febtps To.
Tbe following ia tfle material portion of an article
in the 41 Boston Poet,” bo far as it describes the
naval usage in 4< bringing ships to
Admitting the plea cf several journals that Span
ish men-ot war have a right, in present circam
slances of apprehension, to tscertsin the real char
acter of ail vessels approaching the coast of Cuba
by tbe usual methods practiced by all navies, we
abound inquire what are really those utual meth
od*.
A recent number ct the Intelligencer states that
it is the opinion of the best informed naval com
manders in the United States that the Spanish
ships of war are only practicing what they, under
similar circumetances, would do; that is, bring to
and ascertain the characters of passing ehipi. The
Boston Journal quoting from the Washington cor
respondent of tbe Philadelphia Enquirer, saye:
*• Tee old Laval commanders now here, all de
clare that, under like circumstances, they would
act as do the Spanish commanders on tha coast of
Cuba; that during the continuance of a state of
things as exists in Cuba it is just and proper that
every vessel approaching that coast shonld be com
pelled, by ali tbe usual intar.*, to reveal herself, and
to satisfy the commander of her character and pur
poses.”
Let us now state what are the usual meant
pursued by naval commanders for ascertaining the
charade- of ships at sea. It is usual, then, in the
first place, to mahe sail and overtake the vessel,
(case of tne President and Little Belt, for instance,)
wfcon, if her appearance create suspicion, to order
her to heave to to receive a boat—a course always
attended with a full knowledge of the personal
responsibility incurred thereby, and therefore not
lightly or uselessly resorted to. If circa instances
prevent the overtaking, a gun is fired with blank
cartridge, which is ever understood as a desire for
the stranger to heave to or close with the man-of
war. A ready acquiescence with this invitation to
communicate is always regarded as an indication of
her innocence.
Ii the stranger persist in avoiding intercourse
with the man-of-war, a shot is then fired across her
41 forefoot”—that is, across her bows—a 3an intima
tion that she is within retch of the guns of the
man-of-war. Then, and not till then, if she still
persist in an endeavor to escape, may shot be thrown
at the vessel, under a lair and reasonable presump
tion of her suspicious character; butthe shot should
be directed so as to take effect upon the sails and
rigging, in order to cripple and retard her escape,
rather than into the hull, lest the lives and limbs of
the crew (who cannot control the conduct of the
master of the vessel, and therefore should not be
jeoparded,) should be sacrificed.
Nuw, whether right or wrong, this is the usage
of the naval service, and to which, I presume, these
naval commanders have compromittod themselves,
ii indeed they, with their characteristic prudence,
have compromittod themselves at all.
A Humor and its Concxquhncm.— Wo translate
the following illustration of Russian military rule,
for the Daily News, from a German paper:
At the timotho report of the taking of Sevastopol
was a rich nobleman from the town of
S , on the frontier of Galicia, recieved a letter
announcing the fail of Sevastopol and the burning
of Odessa. He had at the same moment some
friends with him, to whom he communicated the
contents, requesting them, however, not to men
tion it. Unfortunately his wishes was disregard
ed, and in a few hours nothing was spoken of in
all Warsaw but the burning of Odessa and the
taking of Sevastopol. The report was carried to
Prince Paskicwitch, who immediately sent for the
nobleman and asked him “Count, from whence
have you this news ? ’ The nobleman handed to
the Prince tho letter he had received. “There is
not a word of truth in all this!” said the Prince.
“I thought so,” answered the Count, “and I only
mentioned it to a few confidential friends, and
with the request not to repeat it.” “The Govern
ment has full confidence in you, and es you have
rcpeatodly given proofs of your loyalty,” said the
Princo, “wo are far from the wish to punish you
for this. But I desire that you should convince
yourself, by a pleasure trip to Odessa and Sevasto
pol, that this report is totally salsa.” “As your
Highness orders.” “Go to my Secretary and Ife
will tell you my further wishes.”
Tho Count left and repaired to the Secretary,
who handed him a prepared passport. Scarcely
had he arrived at bis own house, wlien an aid de
camp entered, and announced to him that the car
riage and post horses wore awaiting him. During
tho time the burning of O tossa and taking of Se
vastopol occupied all Europe, our unfortunate
Count was on his unwilling journey jbehind four
fiery steeds to oonviDce himsalf of the truth of the
report. He was not allowed to stop on route. At
Odessa he was taken to tho palace of the Gover
nor, who received him very kindly, but imme
diately orderod him to Sevastopol. Here also be
was politely received by Prince Menschikoff, taken
everywhere, and then immediately 6ont back to
Warsaw, where, as poon as he wan out of the car
riage, he was conducted to the Princo, who accos
ted him with tho remark, “Well, Count, what do
yon now believo ? Are Odessa and Sevastopol
taken 1” <4 oh, ycur Highness,” answered the
Count, who was half dead with fatigue of his hur
ried journey, “both towns nro still secure, so secure
that they never can bo taken.” “Go then,CouDt,
invite your confidential friends to your house, tell
them under the seal of sccresy, all you have seen,
so that this day all Warsaw may know it.”
Scarcely had tho Count reaobed his house, when
tho same aid do-camp entered and handed him
tho bill of tho expenses of the journey. The un
fortunate Count had to pay sevon thousand and
some hundred silver rubies for his indiscretion.
Since this affair no ouo in Warsaw tells oven to
his bosom friend. news from the scat of war,
though it should have appeared officially in the
public journals.
Fibe in Savannaii.—The alarm of fire, a few
minutes past twelve this morning, was occasioned
by the burning of four small wooden houses. The
fire originated in a small building on the lane be
tween York and South Broad streets, one door
east of the intersection with West Broad. In a
very short time,it spread to the frame buildings
on the west end of the block, all of which, (four m
number,) were destroyed. Three of the houses
were occupied by negroes, and the fourth, on the
corner of York and West Broad streets, by J. H.
Baßhior, as a grocery store. The flames spread so
rapidly, thet but little time w»» loft for the removal
of goods and furniture. Mr. Basblor, wo regret to
state, while engaged in bis store, had his clothing
set on fire, by the explosion cf a liquor or eam
pheno barrel—which, we could not learn. He was
not soriously injured.
The property was owned by the estate of Wink
ler, and was of but little value. There was no
insurance upon any of it, except the stock of Mr.
Bashior, whieli was insured in Savannah officer.
The fire, it is bolievod, was the result of aoci
denl, having been first discovered in ono of the
houses occupied by the negroes.
Another Alarm.—Another aiarrn of fire wsb
given from the Exchange steeple, at tweuty min
utes past four, this morning. The outbuildings of
a dwelling house on Liberty street—whoae property
we could not ascertain—were discovered to be on
fire. The couflogralion was subdued, howevor,
be'ore tho arrival of the engine companies upon
the spot. Tho damage snstained was but little.

Coolies for Cuba.—There has been for many
months a projeot on foot for tho introduction of
6,000 oooiies from China into Cuba, as plantation
laborers, to supply the placo of negroes, the
importation of whom (rom Africa is to be prohibited,
if possible. The English capitalists having tho
matter in charge, were dolayed in their arrange
ments by the urgent demand of vessels for the
Crimea, wbioh rendered it diffiouit to effect suitable
charters in London. They have finally transferred
the scone of their labors to this city, audavesselis
now fitting out at thiß port for China, under a
contract for 1,200 emigrants.
They will be lenaod at Panama, cross the
Isthmns upon tho Baiiroad, and be re-ehippod at
Aspinwall for Cuba. What the expense of the
voyage will be, wo cannot state precisely, but as it
cost the Baiiroad Co., SIOO per head for laborers
from China to Panama, we estimate the expense
cf each emigrant to Cuba at $lB5 to SIBO. The
French Government, or a company under the
sanction of that Government, are negotiating also
for a supply of labor from tho same quarter for the
French West Indies, so that a largo number of tho
Celestials will have a fair chance for a home on this
side of tho globe.— ls. T. Jour. Ocm.
Kxavy Dakasbs —W. B.Seebers, a young man
of good character, had the misfortune, last sum
mer, in Memphis, under the operation of a oity
ordinance, to be sentenoed to the ohain-gnng in
atonement for some triv'a! cffence wherewith he
was charged. Whilst working on the bluff, with
a chain around his ankle, a heavy pile of dirt foil
on him snd broke his lag. Thereupon, ho brought
suit against tbe city, claiming $55,000. We learn
from the Eagle and Enquirer that on Wednesday
last, tho trial of the case, which had oocupiod the
Common Law Court for several days, was brought
to a oloso, the jury finding a verdict for the
plaintiff and awarding him $16,000 damages. The
Eatbo and Enquirer says :
We have understood that tho ground on which
this verdict pra-s obtained, was this: that the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen have failad to pess a va
grant law, and there being no Bach i»v in existence,
the CiW Recorder had no power to subjeot the
plaintiff to confinement at labor as penalty for any
violation of city ordinance; and that his confine
ment being illegal, the corporation is liable for ail
damages resulting to hie person in consequence of
such confinement.
Fire at Station No. I.—Wo regret to hear that
sevaral buildings, including out-houses, water tank
and a quantity of wood, at the first station on
Muscogee Baiiroad, wore destroyed by fire on
Thursday last. The amount of damage is not
reported. A portion of the track was aiso burnt,
bat this was immediately repaired, and no deten
tion of the cars occurred. —Columbus Inquirer.

Observer, of the 14th inst. says:—
The committee of gentlemen from this aud oth
er Btatea, designated \f>r the purpoee, assembled
in this city on Thursdsy last, the anniversary of
Mr. Clay’s birthday, to select the plan for a monu
ment to be erected over the remains of that vene
rated statesman. The committee was composed
of some twelve or fhteen gentleman, araoar whom
we observed Messrs. Z. Collins Let, of Baltimore,
and Lara. Anderson, of Clneinnati, who are distin
guished iu their respective localities as gentlemen
of great tante aud cultivation in tha floe arts. Gov.
Powell, cf Kentucky, was present and preaided
over the deliberations of the meeting.
Upwards of one hundred models were presented.
For the purpoae of enabling the committee to havo
a better view of them, the President of the Associ
ation procured the large and elegant ball room of
the Broadway Hotel, and had them all appropri
ately arranged therein. Moet of the plane were
fine specimens of art, and admirably des gned,
but several of them wore very superior in arrange
ment and design. In faet, wo understand the com
mittee had no little |difHanlty in coming to a con
elusion as to tha one which should ha Boleetad,
and to which, of course, the premium of SSOO
should be awarded. They, however, finally de
termined to reccommend the model preaented by
Mr. Hamilton, of Cincinnati, which is a gorgeous
Gothic Btructures, and, if finally adopted, will cer
tainly make a monument worthy of tbe moet illus
trious man of the age, and whose namo and fame
it is designed to aid in transmitting to future gen
erations. The decision of the committee is not,
however, final, as according to the charter of the
company, the matter has to be submitted to the
stockholders for their comfirmation.

Another PrsrENsioit Bridge Destroyed by the
Wi*d.— The people of St. Anthony, Minesota,
have been enterprizirg; enough to build in wiro a
suspension bridge over the Mississippi at tho Fallß
cf St. Anthony. Its completion \7an rightfully a
matter of much rejoicing in that thriving village.
Their pride hna been soon humbled, however, for
on Sunday, the 2Cth of Maroh, a terrible gale of
wind destroyodiit. A correspondent of the Mil
waukee Santine! says:
The wind swayed It and raised it in the centre,
and aa thoj had not secured it to tbe banka to keep
it from rlfing, it had raised the floor above the
cables, and capsiaad and really omptied it out like
water oat of a bucket, and prooipitating its woods
on tbo ice. As most cf the timber and all of the
iron can be used again it is believed from three to
five thousand dollars will repair ibetdamage.
Extinguishing Fires. —A patent has beon grant
ed to Wm. Loughbridgo, of Maryland, for a method
of extinguishing fires hy an arrangement of pipes
and other apparatus, by which water may be
forced, at a moment’s notice, from a reservoir or ;
fountain to any part of a city, town or district, to
extinguish fires by mears of a stationary steam
or other engine. The same arrangement admits
of the necessary supply of water for all other
purposes, domestic and manufacturing, without
interruption, during the time it is used for the fire.
It will, probably, not be long before it will be found
useless to carry fire engines to the place of confla
gration. Stationary engines, worked with ateam,
wili answer instead. Water may be forced through
them any required distance, and bs equalty as
efficient in subduing the flames.— Phila. Ledger.

the woods, which broke ont simultaneously at va
rious point* throughout North Carolina and Vir
ginia, soom now to bare nearly abated, aftor having
canstd a destruction of property hitherto unparal
leled.
Nearly or quite one half tho woodland lying be
tween this city »nd Richmond has been swept by
the lire. From North Carolina we hoar that tho
damage has been even greater than in this vicinity.
The nigh winds of Friday last carried the fire on
ward tnrongh tho forests with such rapidity that
all reeistance was utterly vain.
In the neighboring county of Chesterfield the
destruction of property has been immense. Dr.
Bmitb, living on James River, had three ttuurand
lords of wood piled npread.vfor market, the whole
of which was destroyed. Hb loss, alone, is near
SIO,OOO.
Tho dwelling and onthonses of Mr. Tics.
Friend, living on the Richmond Turnpike, be
tween the railroad and the rivor, and at a consid
erable distance from the woods, woro also set on
fire by the flying sparks, and totally destroyed.
His loes cannot fall short of $6,000.
The dwelling house and buildings of Mr. B.
Franklin were also consumed. We are unable to
give tho extent of his loss.
It is supposed that the loss of property in Ches
terfield will not fall short of $50,000, while the
damage to tha soil and the growing timber cannot
be calculated.
An old lady and her daughter, living near Dnd
loy’a Depot, on the Wilmington (N. C.) Railroad,
while endeavoring to check tho progress of the
flames towards their dwelling, wore surrounded
by the fire, and becoming oonfuaed, were burned
to death before any assistance coaid be rendered.
We coaid not ascertain their names.

is a total loss.

Sums Achors.—A high wind is prevailing from
the North-east, as we put our evening edition to
press, and regret to add, that it has proved disas
trous to ahippiog in tbe vicinity of Tybee. Tho
bark Clarmont, bound hence to Liverpool, with
lumber, went ashore last night on Tybee beach.—
The sea was breaking »ver her this morning, and
it was feared she would bilge.
The ship Southport, from New York to this port
went ashore just above the Light House, also on
Tybee beaoh, and is leaking badly. She has an
assorted cargo, and is consigned to Dana & Wash -
bum.
lho bark Glasgow, outward bound, with lum
ber for London, dragged her anchors aud went
ashore ouCookspur island. It is not believed that
she will euatainany serious injury. She was con
signed to HanterA Gainmell of this olty.
The ship Alleu Austin, loading at Tybee, with
cotton, dragged her anchor and was driven ashore
on Tybee. It is not supposed that aho will be
greatly damaged. She was consigned E. Moly
neuz.
These disasters occurred dnriDg laat night. The
blow came on suddenly, and it is possible that the
Vvssels were not prepared for it—though of this,
wo have not ba«n able thus far to obtain exaot in
formation. The ateamer Wm. Gaston has been
Bent to their assistance, and every effort will be
made to afford instant and efficient relief. There
is reason to fear, however, a<i there is no inclina
tion of abatement of tho gale, that the Clarmont
and Southport will be greatly damaged, if not lost.
Gapt. E. J. Black’s water-boat was likewise
driven ashore but we have no particular* as to its
situation.— Mae. Kej>. Saturday afternoon .
Ship* Aahere.
fbo sudden gale of wind that sprung np
oarly riday morning, the ship Bouthport, Oapt.
VV nson, and tko British bark Clermont, Captain
Soioy, aud Glasgow, Capt. Ward, went ashore on
the Northern or inside b*aoh of Tybee island. The
Southport ie ashore on the knoll off the Northern
point of the island, and at last account sho had
bilged, and the tide was flowing and ebbing
through her. She was from New York, bound to
’his port with an assorted cargo, oonsigned to the
following houses in this oity : M. A. Cohen, Pat
ten, Hutton A Co., Wells <fe Verstille, Cleghorn A
Cuuningham Ruse, Davis A Long, Greenville A
Go., Crane A Roger*, Hunter A Gammell, Kenne
dy A Beach, King A Bon, W. P. Yonge, C. A. L.

B. & H. Weed, Dana A Washburn, McMahon A
Doyle, Hoicombe, Johnson A Co., J. W. Ander
son, Crugor A Wade, Champion A Watts, J. B.
Moore A Co., and to order. Doubtless portions of
her cargo wore destined to different points in this
and the adjoining Staten. Tho goods, we havo
reason to believe, are fully insured, though most
of them, will probably be savod in a damaged
stato. The ship is owned in Southport and fully
insured. If tho weather should continue as fa
vorable as it is at tho moment wo write, tho vessel
will doubtless be got off. She was consigned to
Dana A Washburn, of this city, and has been
running for several years in their line of Now
York packets. Formerly she was engaged in tho
Now York and Charleston trade.
*uThe bark Clormont dragged her anchors, and
was driven ashore. Had the gale continued, which
fortunately it did not, her situation must have
been extremely oiitieal. No doubt she will bo got
off with but little, if any, damage. Sho was clear
ed the 18th, by Audrsw Low A Co. for Bristol,
(Eng.) with a cargo of 241,180 toot P. P. timber.
Tbe bark Glasgow, went ashore on a mud-bed
in Ccckspur roads and will bo got off, if she has
not been already, without difficulty. Her oaptaiu
sent up word to her consignees here that he want
ed no assistanoe. She was cleared at this port,
tho 20th, by Hunter A Gammell, for London, with
484,488 feet P. P. timber, and 7,8£6 oak staves.
Beside the foregoing vessels, there were also two
large American ships whioh were in imminent
danger at one time of going ashore by dragging
their anohors, but they have since boon got into
safe positions.
Capt. E. J. Black’s water boat was likewise
driven ashore but wo have no particulars as to its
situation.
The anchorego at Tybee has always been con
sidered both sale and convenient, and i 3 so, but
the blow, Friday night, camo on so suddenly, that
vessels lying there were not prepared for it. The
shipping in port wa» not at all affected. —Savannah
Republican , Monday.
Row in ▲ Church.—On Sunday, tho 15th inet.,
quito a row occurred in Christ (Episcopal) ohurch
iu Boston. It appears that there had been a pre
vious disagreement between the wardens and tbo
pastor, Rev. Mr. Smithett, and that tho former had
two constables stationed in the church daring ser
vice on Sunday. Mr. Smithett, it is alleged, or
dered both,the constables and wardens out of
church in the morning, but they refused to leave.
Tho order waß repeated in tho aftornoon, when
quite a scene followed, which nttraoted a large
orowd on the out side, and quist was not restored
until about midnight. Two arrests wore made.—
Tho wardens, it is contended, wore not fairly elco

DB. ROBERTS’ COLIC MIXTURE FOR INFANTS,
cures that intense pain of the bowels which oecnr
almost daily daring the first few months of life, unde
circumstances where there is no reason to suspect, as its
cause, any disturbance of the digestive organa, from the
bad quality or undue quantity of the food. parox
ysms of pain are often so violent as to dmarb the house
hold, and elarm the mothe, - ; &adln her anxiety to re
lievo her child. «h« fees* injurious aaodyaes are resorted
♦o. such as Laudanum, Paregoric, Godfrey's Cordial, Ae.
These produce costiveness, and other evils, which render
the remedy worse than the disease.
Immediate relief in all cases, waeshat depending on
flatulency or spasm of the bowels, will be obtained from
the use of ths uouc Mixtures.
Im peculiar advantages of Roberts’ Colic Mixture con
sists in its giving in tact relief to pain—procaring healthy
and refruahing slumber—while it acts gently on the
bovels—and is always safe. Try it.
