/or Chronicle A SeniinfL
Gklenyale, near Casaville, Ga., t
May 7tb, 1955. f
7o 77*onuu Cunningham, K*q., cf Greensboro, Ga.:
Dear biß:—Your address and appeal to the Hon.
B. H. Overby, in the Chronicle A SenUntl of May
2d, is now before me. I nave read it more than
once, with feelings of deep intereel and w.‘h some
degree of surprise. An acquaintance of fourteen
yearp, and a knowledge of your consistent advocacy
of the Temperance reform, craated this intorea*.
and prodeced this surprise. A.low me, sir,
these circnmstancee, toaddree toyoaa br:et rep y,
in which I shall very candidly, plainly, end conr
teoualy dissent from yonr position, and oppose tke
idea of Mr. Overby's withdrawal from the candida
cy for Governor of Georgia, as a fatal step to tno
hopes of the fr;endß of prohib ; tion and reform.
In the hrst place, Mr. Overby was not nominated
Tjr Governor by the “Temperance Society ol Geor
gia.” His nomination wa l * made by a Convention
of the friends of prohibition, or, in oth r words,
tho opponents of the present licence and retail grog
hb jp system in Georgia. Tnie Convection was the
result of a preliminary meeting, held in Atlanta on
the fourth Tuesday in November last. A number
of the friends of reform, from different sections of
U c State, met in Atlanta at the time specified, and
alter deliberation and diacuss on, agreed to hold
another Convention in Atlanta, on tho 22i of Feb
ruary, with tho avowed object of nominating a can
didate lor Governor of Georgia, whose feelings and
views should accord with the principles before
stated. Tne result of the meeting in November
w:.:- pablishdcl to the world; the objects had in
view by those who attended were sow i broad-cant
over the land ; and aii who accorded in sentiments
with the Convention, wore invited to meet in At
lanta, or. tne 22d day of February.
The Convention in Atlanta, on the 22d of Feb
ruary met with open doors, and its objects were
known, or might have been known, throughout
the liu:i:s of our State. There were old-time Vi higa
and old-time Democrats in the Convention. These
names and there distinctions were laid aside and
sacrificed, I verily believe, upon the altar of tho
common welfare. Whiggory and Dem'cracy had
no part or lot in the matter, and were n't to have,
t il the evil—appaling evil, of which the Conven
tion complained, was banished from the State.
Mr. Overby cannot decline in favor of any party
or man. To do this would be to betray the confi
dence reposed in him by the Convention. Some
temperance men (?) believe that the mingling of
the temperance question with the politics of the
day, will do no good to the causo. Some temper
won believe this to be tho only course that
promises the shadow of a prospect to its success.
It is verily believed by many, tbot tho petty politi
litical organisations that have hitherto existed, are
th r ; prime cause of defeat in so many instances,
and are at the root and foundation of tho continu
ance of the present license and grog-shop sjetem,
which ib a dkg'ace to our statute books, and a
scandal to our Biate. The feelings aud opinions of
temperance men have hitherto been trampled upon
and scoffed at by demagogues and party leaders,
Heekirg for the loavos and fishot, and temperance
men, hereafter, moan that their opinions and views
shall bo respec’od. So long as they crouch to
present political organizations, this cannot bo. If
politicians do not respect them, they mean to ro
hpoet themselves.
What crisis exists in the affairs ot our State, or
can likely exist for coming years, to bo compared
in importance with the Temperance Kcforui ?
Look, sir, at facta all around you. Look at the
state of things existing ot this time in many por
tions of our State—portions, too, blessed with a
oliruate and soil unsurpassed for desirablenoss, by
any portion of God T s footstool. The license and
grog-shop system is doubtless a prime cau-ioof the
destitution and distress that prevails. Profligacy
and crime follow in tho wake of this system. To
remove this plague-spot from our border.-;, was the
object of the nomination of Mr. Overby. It wsb
believed also, that he was competent and well
flited for managing all the affairs that claim the
attention es the Executive Magistrate of Georgia;
and woll fitted for any crisis that might arise in her
affairs.
Tho object to be accomplished by the nomina
tion of Mr. Overby, is a noble one—worthy of tho
convention and worthy of the support of evory
ohristiaD, patriot and philanthropist in the State.
No, sir, Mr. Overby is not deceived, nor do his
friends wish to deceive him. That ho will be
e'ected, they do not say ; that he cannot be euclctl,
ii not quite clear ; but that he oushtto be elected,
there is no question with them.
The “Banner County” of Georgia, at tho last
election, suooeded in returning one member to the
Legislature in favor of the temperance reform ;
and he, too, (as X hoard an intelligent political op
poneutof Cass county, declare tho other day,) was
a worthy and useful member—always at his post,
and ready to give an intelligent vote upon overy
question that was taken. Well, sir, at tho election
this Full, I hope aud believe Greene county will
send two members in favor of the reform. At
another election, I hope and believe aho will return
three. In Cass county, wo shall have a full ticket
in tho field, with * good prospect of success. But
dofoat this time will not deter us. We hove nailed
our flag to the mast, and it cannot come down, till
victory ia proclaimed.
Agaiu, Isay, Mr. Overby muatnot—cannot—de-
cliio in favor of ary man, or at all. Letmy friend
Thomas Cunningham, Esq., stand firm to hiß post;
let Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. Johnson, and every lever
of his State and species, abandon their petty
party organizations, and rally to his standard, and
a viotory will bo won in Georgia, in comparison
with which quoations that do now divide and dis
tract her peopio, or all questions that are likely to
arise lor years to come, sink into insignificance.
Y our fellow-citizen, Bsnj. Bkantly.

much less than those of the previous year.
The nnmbor of Bibles printed during the year
amount to 275,400, aud oi Testaments 626,000 ;
making a total of 901,400. The number ot vol
umes issued is 749,896. The number issued since
tile organization of the society is 10,458,647. Tho
number of agents at presont employed in the
domestio flold is thirty-five, including two on tho
I’aciflc ooast.
During tbo year a new German octavo Bible,

The Election Biots in Louisville, Ky.— The
Louisvi'le papers give extended accounts of the
-iot there on Saturday, the 6th inst. In attacking
Merkel’s Brewery, they fired six shots into a room
occupied by Mrs. Merkel and her ohildren. Asa
acral passing along Jefferson stre;t to tho grave
yard was stoned. John Snydor and C. Kaioh
wire out and mangled badly, aud one of thorn will

by two shots out of tho tweaty-six fired at him,
had previously fired into the band of rowdies,
aud thus inducod them to fire upon him.
Pakx Lynched. —The Platte (Mo.) Argus con
firms tho rumor that Park had been lynohed. It
says :
We ioarn that George S. Park, the abolition
agent ct tho Boston Emigrant Aid Society, was

So it seems that justice, though slow, is overtaking

i .dividual and his neighbors resented the outrage
in the manner indicated. Park’s cabin was re
duced to ashes.
The SeauYLEB Fraud.— At the annua! meeting of
the New Haven Railroad Company on Thursday,
the President anno meed the discovery of other
trends ccmm.tted by K.bert Schuyler, by a sys
tem of false entries of accounts to the amount of
$157,527. The manner in which these frauds
were committed is thus described:
Tho Company has suffered serious loss from oer
*ain frauds committed by Robert Schuyler, as
President, and as a member of the firm R. A G.
L. Schuyler. It should be remarked here that the
Construction Accounts have been kept upon a set
of books distinct and separate from these of the
Treasurer ar j those which represent the transac
tions of the Company connected with their
transportation BusiDess, and that these “Con
struction Brooks,” (cousistiug of Journal, Cash
and Ledger,) have always been kept in the posses
sion of Robert Schuyler, or of his firm, and since
May Ist, 1858, were written up by the dorks of
dial firm, and were never seen, previous to Mr.
Schuyier’s fiight, by the Treasurer of the Company,
■has preventing him from knowing that any traud
was being practiced. These facts will account for
the facility with which Mr. Schuyler could commit
the trends how re erred to, wittout any fear of de
tection. After the expenditure of the capital of
$5,000,000 by the Company, Mr. Schuyler, as
President, had been borrowing money for the ex
■wa, of the cost of the road and equipment beyond
that sum. For the sums so borrowed he gave
receipts, s gaed by “ Robert Schuyler, President
“ New Y ork and New Havas Railroad Company;”
sud a portion of these loans were repaid by issu
ing bonds to the parties making the loans. Some
ot these loans were made to the Company by the
firm of K. A G. L. Set uyler, and, like similar loans,
were credited to that firm upon the construction
books: from time to time these credits were bal
anced by issuing bonds to the firm, whose duty it
was thereupon to retain the cash receipts which
had been given them. Mr. Schnyier t after having
need some ot the receipts given by him, as 1 resi
dent, to his firm, by passing them over to the
Treasurer of the Company, in part payment for
the purchase of certain stock, afterward claimed
and received from the Company an issue of bonds,
as payment tor the sains represented by these same
receipts as credited to his firm upon the construc
tion books.
Daring the year ending Maroh 81st, 1555, the
sum of 4566,000, about SBBO,OOO, is reported to
have been expended in the care and mtinte'.ance
OI the Louden parks and pleasure grounds, of
which the three parks that immediately join each
other—St. James, the Green and Hyde Parks—
cost £20,000. Regent’s Park costs y early A5,500
and Victoria Park £2,800.

A Sbickin* case of DepkatjTY has recently
been the subject cf ccmmcat in this city. The
care is that of repeated and most artfully contrived
tcefts by one who has borne the character and
maintained the standing of a lady, depending on
her own exertions for a means of support, as a
lady’s companion. Os her guilt there is scarcely
a shadow of doubt, bhe has been in Newport
once or twice, at ono time stopping at £ hotel, at
another wt'fc a orivate family; here -ho was arrest
ed and is now in cur jaii aws.tiug trial.
She is spoken cf to us as extremely lady-like
in her rc rollers, cultivated and fascinating to a
more than ordinary degree, aud on hearifg her
converse one can hardly be Isd to suppose for a
moment that for so long a time see has carried on
her evil practices. Ye stub Is the case, ar.d she
has had ms: v modes of operat nc. Waile red
ding with the - -l ily of Judo 2 Miller, of New
York, es ccmrinion to Mrs. M., t e it use was
mysteriously robced (entered, it was at first sup
posed) a- i many art mi of value carried cff.
The accused wss the first to find oat that the
house usd been entered, and wss so successful in
ascertaining whet strtie cs ha! been carried off as
to lead to scs;. iei:n. Awa'crt taken at that time,
and seen on her person id N rwport, led to her de
tection, snd on examining ner apartments in New
York abundant evidm ce was found to establish
her guilt. At the time of her arrest she was resi
ding with a lady in this City cs a ctmpartton, and
it w as found, cn examirg her trunks, that she had
robbed the house ot s:x battles of old rum, a small
p’teher. and several articles oi 1 'tie value.
We understand that a reqaidtion has been scat
on from New York, and she will be taken to that
city for trial. Sue is Ecghsh, by birth, we believe,
and her I n her mends’ sake.—

If lotteries arc for tLo public good they should
bo tccouriigcd. If they are f imply it different,

Oar Legislature In the act below, now on the
Statute book and in tu'l force, has declared them
I tc be unauthorized and unlawful. That act pre
-cribes a kor;..ture of not less than five hundred
doiiais for elite* or expo-mg to sale, or adverti
sing or causing to be advertised lor sale or aiding
or assisting or bcinar any wise concerned in
the sale or exposure to sale of anv lottery ticket or
tickets. This is a good law. It is founded on
correct principle. It ought lobs strictly enforced.
Is it ecfurced ?
Those agents in oar large cities who advertise
or clfer for sale, lottery tickets in foreign
schemes are dearly in violation of the law and lia
ble to its penalties. But, there is an advertise
ment to be fonnd in almost ail the papers in the
State headed “ By authority of the State of Geor
gia,” in which the subscriber announces that, hav
ing accepted from the Commissioners the agency
and management of the Fort Gaines Academy
L j ter y he has established the principal office in
Atlanta Georgia. A grar.d scheme i.- proposed to
b(i drawn in that city on the 24th of May when
160,000 will be distributed in prizes. In this
scheme th ;ro ere only ten thousand tickets
offered at $lO each amounting to SIOO,OOO on the
promise of getting back $60,000 in prizes..
But this i* said to done by authority of the State
of G..rg.a, We turn to the Statute Book, and
hnd that in 1831, soma twenty odd years ago, it
w:.i er:ac‘ed ‘‘that John Dill, Edward Delony,
Solomon V. Wilson, James Buchanan and Gaor*e
W. he and they are hereby authorized to
rfti - 3 by lottery, a sum not exceeding fifteen hun
dred dollars for the purpose of building an Aca
demy in the town of Fort Gaines.” Those com
znh&i?nera are now said to have appointed an
ai d manager in the city of Atlanta in the
year 1855. As some acts authorizing particular
lotteries for special objects are of older date than
the go erai act declaring lotteries unlawful, and as
this is one of them, the whole scheme may bo
. gal. But the mere f_ct, that under a Legislative
grant in 1381 of aatbority to raise SISOO to build
an Academy in the town of Fort Gaines, it is now
attempted to rai;*e $40,000 at a dash in the city of
Atlanta is strong y against such a presumption.—
i>ut if the proceeding in this case and in others,
are unlawful, such a public sentiment should be
form.d, as will secure enforcement of the law.—
The press sho ild call attention to the evil. That
newspapers arc p by lottery agents is no
sufficient reason for silence in regard to a great
public evil. Few are aware of the extent of this
evil. It might seem that oomraon sense would be
sufficient to protect men against such impositions
lotteries, but it is not so. Such is the fascina
tion of this, as of every species of gambling that
men will not listen to common sen-e. What would
be thought of any one who has so little knowledge
of human nature, that he will enclose a thousand
dollars to a trader, a perfect stranger, with an or
der to send him a negro worth the money? Very
few persons have sufficient conti lence in their fel
lows as to do any such thing as to send even five
dollars to any unknown merchant in a distant city
with directions to return the worth of it in homo
spun. Yot, many aud many a ten dollar bill is
received by the lottery dealer, wi h the sitnplo re
quest, “send mo the wortn of it” in “lottery tick
ets.” Where is common sense in such cases ?
Overwhelmed and swept away in the infatuation
whic » alike impels the successful gambler to ven
tare still more in order to increase his gains and
the looser to venture still again that he may re
trieve his leases. —Marietta Advocate.

It is known that Dr. J. F. Posey, of Savannah,
has beea engaged by the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington, to take daily observations of every
tning pertaining to the weaker at this place—such
as the amount of rain, the range of the thermome
ter and barometer, the amount of moisture in the
atmosphere the prevalence of fogs, the direction
of the winds, <fec., result of these
v aliens are an y recorded, an i a transcript regu
larly forwarded to Washington.
Knowing these observations wore taken with
great exactness, and were as near absolute truth as
r-oience could briLg .hem, we called upon Dr.
Posey some days ago to ascertain the r&Dge of the
thermometer and the quantity of rain that had
tailen, the past twelve mouths, as compared with
the ten preceding years. The following table ex
hibita the number of inches of water that fell from
the first of May, 1554, to the first of May 1855, to
gether with the corresponding months for 10 years,
from 1544 to 1554. It also shows the average tem
perature for the same period. It may be well to
add, that the average for each month for each of
the ion years is taken, aud then the general aver
age of all of those months for the wnole period.

lbt May, 1355; whereas the average for the prece
ding ten years is 50.249—making a difference of
12.453, or about % less last year than the average
f-r 10 years. Tins difference will appoar more
striking when it is remembered that two years of
severe drought are embraced in the period from
1544 to 1654. In 1847, the number of inches of
rain that fell, was 69 950, or nearly twice as much
a& fell last year. In 1843 there were 56.895 inches;
in 1849 there were 50.420; and in 1850, 55.270.
The dry weather which has prevailed at Savan
nah the past twolve months, extended throughout
this aud adjoining States. In some portions of
southern Georgia, platters have been compelled
to haul their drinking water five and ten miles,
aud in some instances to drive their cattle from
ten to seventy miles, to the nearest river or pond,
and there leave ihem! Kailway companies have
found difficulty, in some places, in obtaining the
necessary water for their locomotives, aud tho
rivers have been so low, especially the Omulgee,*
Flint and Chattahoochee, with the upper portion
of Savannah, as to interrupt navigation, aud thus
keep back produce beyond the usual time. This
is true of other cotton growing States. Mean
while, the operations of planters have been very
much retarded.
In regard to the range of the thermometer, it
will bo seen by adding up the two last columns
and dividing the result by twelve, that the average
temperature the past twolve months, tho year
round was 65 deg. 21, and for the precedirg
teu years, 67 deg. 18. Aud yet last summer was
considered the warmest for more than twenty
years past, but the winter months, as will be seen,
were so much colder than usual, that tho aggre
gate heat of the whole year was loss than the
a verge. Besides, the condition of the atmophere
last summer, and the long continued drought,
made it appear warmer than it really was.
These tables are of much interest, and we avail
ourselves of tho occasion thus publicly to return
our thanks to Dr. Posey for the use of them.
The Cotton Trade of ibe United states.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is indebted to Messrs.
Noil, Brothers A Co., of Now York, for a valua
ble circular in relation to “The Cotton Trade of the
United States.” It is full of useful information.—
Tho six principal shipping months being over, the
following facts are given concerning the disposi
tion of the Cotton received thus far. To make the
analysis as intelligible as possible, tho authors of
the circular show the quantity taken by each class
of buyers up to the Ist of November, the average
weekly distribution of each of tho six months
since that date, the total taken by each to the pre
sent date, tho total taken by each in tho whole of
last season, and the quantity still required by each
to make it equal to that cf last year:
“Greatßritain took till Ist Nov., 66,000 bales,
and per week in November, 24,000, in December,
47,000, in January, 51,000, in February, 48,000, in
March, 48,000, and in April, 80,800. Making a to
tal quantity of 1,089,000 bales, against 1,604,000,
in all last season, thus still requiring 515,000 bales
to make her purchases equal to those of last year.
“Franco took till Ist Nov., 29,000 bales, and per
week in November, 6400, in December, 7700, in
January, 8000, in February, 11,000, in March,
17,000, and in April, 14,000. Making a total 800,-
000 bales, against 894,000 in all last season, thus
still requiring 74,000 to make her purchases equal
those of last year.
“Other Foreign markets took till Ist Nov., 12,-
000 bales, and per week in November, 8800, in
December, 88u0, iu January, 10,500, in February,
10,800, iu March, 8500, and in April, 6600. Making
a total of 193,000 bales, against 841)000 in all last
season, thuß still requiring 148,000 bales to make
their purchases equal those of last year.
“American consumers took till Ist November
47,000 bales, and per week in November 8400, in
December, 4000, in January, 11,200, iu February,
12,700, in March, 27,000, and in April, 21,000.
Making a total of 416,000 bales, against 606,000 in
all last season; thus still requiring 190,000 bales
to make their purchases equal those of last year.
“The grand total so far disposed of, then, sums
up 2,008,000 bales, and the quantity still required
to make the purchases of all equal to those of last
year would be 992,000 bales, to meet which there
is tho stock of 354,000 bales now in the ports and
tho future receipts for the remainder of the season.
Whither all will require as much Cotton as last
year, is too large a question to enter npon in this
circular.
“Were the receipts for the remuinder of the
season only to equal 4 those which come in subse
quently to this date last year, or any previous oc
casion, it is apparent that there would boa seri
ous deficiency, as tho largest receipts after this
date wore 469,000 bales last year—the uvorogo of
Llio previous five season; giving only 245,000 after
Ist May ; but even without a general rise of riv
ers, there is good reason to calculate on a large
excess in tho future deliveries. We seme time
since observed that little if any increase could bo
expected till May, as even in April tho receipts
last year averaged 86,000 bales per woek, which
might easily be doubled with a general rise of
rivers. Tho facts are so far confirmatory of th s
viow, for without any such general rise the re
ceipts this week amount to 85,000 bales, against
60,000 last year, and by telegraphic advices from
Mobile and New Orleans, it appoars that the ta
bles of next week will show 17,000 bales at Mobile
against 4000 last year, and 41,000 at New Orleans
against 87,000 last year, the first increase at the
latter port since January. There will probably be
an increase every week this month, greater or leßs,
according to tho state of rivers.”
The steamship Louisiana, Capt. Talbot, arrived
at Now Orleans from Galveston, brings dates to
Saturday slh inst. The papers in almost every
part of the State complain of the drouth. The
\Vi co Era states that the crops in that section are
suffering greatly. The Era says that MoLellan
county is about to receive a large accession to its
population and wealth, it having learned by pri
vate advices that quite a nmnher of planters from
Tennessee, of extensive means and good moral
cbracter, design moving to that favored section
during the year. Flour is S2O per barrel at Waco.
The Huntsville Star says:
Tne weather is still dry. The river has been
rising, but not much. Cotton is being wagoned
to market from all distances.
The Crockett Printer has the following:
Several trains of ox wagons loaded with cotton
passed through town last week, and more going
this week, all destined for Houston. All hope of
the Trinity seema to be given up, and there is still
inducement for steamboats to asoend should the
river rise soon.
They nppoar to have some rain in the vicinity of
Centreville. The Pioneer sayß:
To-day, Monday, 2Sd, the sky is clear, with
scarcely the appearance of a cloud to be seen. A
flne rain on Thursday night and Friday moi ning,
fell Northwest and North of us, and reached to
within three miles of town.
After a dry spell of two months, says the Victo
ria Advocate, and when we had begnu to fear that
the rain apparatus in this part of the country had
got entierly out of gear, we were favorod yester
day with delicious corn quickening and pea-revi
ving showers, for which »e are duly grateful to
our venerable and much-abused friend, the gentle
manly clerk of the weather. Iu a short time we
expect to be overloaded with the bounteous gifts of
Ceres, Pomona and Flora, the fruits of his j udicioue
good nature.
The ladies es Georgetown held a meeting on the
Bth ult., on the snbject of alcohol and drunkenness,
and passed resolutions requesting merchants to
bring no more liquor into that town for sale. A
committee wss appointed to wait upon the princi
pal business men, which, having done, they report
that only one Blore gave entire satisfaction of
complying with the request. The others were
doubtful:
They herefore unanimously resolved, that wo
solcmuly and fi mly pledge ourselves not to trade
at any store where intoxicating liquors of any kind
aro kept, if wo know it. And furthermore, that
we will, each individual, use all reasonable exor
tions to find out, and make known to each other,
the fact of liquor being kept at stores pretending
to bo without it.
We cut the fohowing paragraphs from the Dal
las Herald:
Never since the settlement of this country, has
there been so dry a season as the present. There
has been bnt one rain since the first week in Jan
uary, and in many places none at all. Iu addition
to this the spriog has been unusually baokward,
and the growth of everything retarded by the suc
cession of Northers with which we have been vis
ited. But now that warm weather has set in veg
etation of all kinds is patting forth rapidly, and
notwithstanding there has been little or no rain,
the com crops, we learn, are growing, though not
rapidly. From a gentleman who has recently
travelled through tbe counties below this, we
learn that below Ellis the prospect of crops is
gloomy indeed. In those conuties they have bad
no rains, and have planted their corn two or three
times in vain, the ground being so dry that it will
not come np. He says they have now abandoned
all farther efforts aotil it rains. If they are fa
vored w.ih rain soon, they can yet plant their corn
and make good crops.
The wnest crop is injured by the frost, in places
in this county, to a greeter extent than we sup
posed. Some fields are heading ont cloae to the
ground: the consequence ia that the heads are
small and trifling. There will, however, be an
average yield on this side of the river.
Our neighbors in aome of the Eastern counties
are said to be in a wofnl plight for the “staff of
life.** On the road from Shreveport to this place,
we are told, there is almost no corn at all to be had
for any pric i. A large surplus was made in this
county, out it is now gone to supply the wantA. Os
our famishing
The Gbanabces ox tbs West.— ls the receipts
should continue as heavy as they are at present
until ihe dose of the season, the year with ns will
prove one of the moet remarkable, in a oommer
cial point of view, ever known. Wheat, com,
oats, rye and dour are largely over last year’s re
ceipts for ths same time, and .the amounts coming
forward appear to be increasing every day. The
Upper Mississippi, which usually sends out larger
supplies of grain than the Illinois, this season falls
far behind her aggregate of shipments. Should
that section give anything like the supplies here
tofore received, we have no hesitation in stating
that the grain business of this market will show,
at tbe eloie, sn increase o: at least twenty-five per
cent, over the -rperations of any preceding year.—
The comparative pancity of receipts from the Up
per Mississippi is attributed by many to low wa
ters and hign freights —by others to a scanty sur
plus. We hear it stated, however, by those who
are in constant communication with traders at
prominent points, that large lota of grain are held
ready for shipment, awaiting only fair opportuni
ties for transport tion.
It is somewhat singular that with these liberal
supplies, and a fair prospect for their continuance,
tha: prices should be at the figures which our mar
ket reports exhibit. Wheat, corn and oats are
nearly at twice the enm they commanded one year
ago.— St. Louis Etpubiican, April 2s,

Zrom the Savannah Republican .
Later from Calloiuia.
We learn from a private latter, received per Isa
bel, by a mercantile nouse in Savannah, that the
jtoamship Golden Age, Capt. Watkins, left San
Francisco the afternoon ol the 17th April, lor Pa
i ama, with 712 pus eugers, 40 children, and sl,-
BeO,UOO in gold. Shortly after midnight, on tho
23th, she struck upon a auoken rock off the island
ol (puibo, in 17 fathoms water, going at full speed.
binding that the water was gaming rapidly,
GipL Wutkins determined to beach the Btoame~,
which ho did, by running her ashore ou Quican
island, 2J5 miles from Panama.
Tho discipliuo of the crew was porfocc and the
passengers bohaved admirably during Gie disaster,
remaining ou hoard until taken off by the ste'.mer
Jehu L. Stephens, which landed them all safely
at Panama the 2d of May. From Panama, they
passed by railway across to Aspiuwall, whenco
they sailed for Now York via Kingston.
We are uot informed whetherthe $1,800,000 w is
also saved, though wo presume it was.
Tho steamer Panama was dispatched on the 8d
inst, to the assistance of tho Golden Ago, and
strong hopos woro entertained of saving her,
though the tide was flowing and ebbing through
her.
Tho John L. Stephens left Panama again for San
Francisco on the night of the 2i. The Golden
Guto would take from Panama the New York pasß •
engers of the s’h May.
From California we Itarn that the rains contin
ued, and that the mines wero producing well.—
Confld nco in mercantile circles was returning.—
Tho Legislature would adjourn 80th April. An
off »rt would bo rnado on the 23d to elect a U. 8.

ful.
Terrible Powder Mill Explosion. —Wo have
already briefly noticed tho explosion of a powdor
mill near Rochester, N. Y. The Rochester Demo
crat furnishes the following particulars of this ter
rible calamity.
“The three buildings in which the powder is
mad* and stored, wero blown up successively,
causing the sevoral distinct concussions experi
enced. Five men employed in them were killed by
tho explosion. Their names are as follows : James
McCann, foreman; Mathew Clark, Edward Mo
rim:, Frederick Christian Myers, laborers.
“McCann and Myors leave families. John Riley,
another of the workmen was in the sal-nitre
house, a short distance off, at tho time of tho ex
plosion, and was not killed, but somewhat injured.
“One of the men was thrown over the high
bank and trees standing upon it, perhaps ono
hundred feet high, into the field boyond, a dis
t"P.C:i of many rod?. The body was portent, but,
like all the rest, entirely nude, and blackened by
the powdor.
“Every building was blown to fragments, so
that no vestige of them remained.
“Tho tops of the trees on oaoh side appear as if
a fire had run over them.
“ Thß log of on 9 man was hanging in tho top of
a tree.
“Mr. Wetherell, who was the first person to reach
the creek from the city after the disaster, gives us
further particulars.. The cylinder mill, and maga
zine woro near together, having been rebuilt since
iho explosion of last winter a little south of tho
wutor power used in operating them. No ono
lives to toll tho cause of the explosion, dud it is
telt ontircly to conjecture. The present owners
of the mills are John C*ombie and Edwin Gilbort,
ol this city, fcncJ'Wm. Faruhain, jr., of Mechanics
ville, Saratoga county. Mr. James Conoly dispos
ed of his iulerest in January iast.
“ Ail the bodies were completely denuded (not
a rag or shoo remained) and blackened, and from
all but one the hair was completely singed off.
They were thrown from ten to seventy rods, and
one of them was torn into fragmonts. Tho man
who was not killed, was net badly injured by the
shock.
“ The in the surrounding buildings was
shattered, but no other material damage wm* done.
“Tuis is the fourth time that these mills have
up within five jears, and tho third time
within twelve or fifteen months.”
f mall Pox in Knoxville, Tennessee — Rains,
&o.—Wo make tho following extract from a pri
vate letter just recei ved from Knoxville: —Atlanta
Intel .
Knoxville, Tenn , May 10, 185$,
Messrs. R ggles & Howard :—Gents.:—Two
CRtee of Small Pox have made their appearance a 1
the G ass Works, just above this city. The city
authorities have stationed a guard on this side of
town to prevent, if possible, its being communi
cate l to Knoxville, though the citizens are in a
state of excitement; some are leaving the place
and others are being vaccinnated, Ac.
Thc j e facts do no harm as they constitute the
topic of conversation here.
The recon* rains have extended all over this
country, though not enough has fallen up the
country to cause a sufficient rise in the Rivers to
bring down fiat boats. A light frost fell hero on
the night of tho Bth inst., not enough to injure
anything. Produce of all kinds, high and scarce,
with an upward tendenc .
May Fkost—Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day n-ghts of lant week, there were very fair frosts
in upj or Cherokee. Wo learn that no serious
damage has result' d to crops of grain —the corn
only being very Mightlv bitten.— Atlanta Irdtlii
