letters is sent.
To prevent delay in the examination and com
fiarison of letter bills, the postmaster at each of the
arger offices will assign to some confidential clerk
(not employed in opening the mails) the duty of
opening in his absence, official letters addressod to
him.
5. In all large offices, where letters are received,
en f ered and mailed by different persons, it shall

eu velope as provided in section 4, addressed to the
postmaster at the office to which the corresponding
package of registered letters is to bo sent. It
aUo be his duty to make up each packago of
registered letters, seal the package with wax at the

if there bo one, and will pass it with the letters to
tho olork who kce;s the account of registered let.
tore received for distribution, who will enter its
contents in his account, and indorse upon it his
signature or initials. He will then fill up the cor
responding return bill, noting upon it whether
correct or otherwise, and will pass it to the post
master or his principal assistant, who will see that
it is returned by the first mail thereafter, with his
indorsement, to the office of mailing.
Kugiaterod letters mailed at a distributing office
for their respective offices of delivery, are to be pass

count of rogisiered letters receive into tho charge
of the clerk who keeps the account or registered

registered letters are legibly and aoeuraoly kept;
and at the end of eaoh quarter ho will forward
with his quarterly returns full and perfect tran
soripts of such accounts, with the letters and bills
pertaining to them, retaining tho original accounts
in his office for referonee.

Post Offico Department, 10th May, 1866.
JisD ot the Cdbak Expkdition.—We find in tl e
>Baltimore Sun —corroborated by articles in other
papers—tbe following alleged abandonment of th o
late reputed Cuban expedition :
Ekb ot the Quitman Efpedition.—lt is state 1
that, at a meeting of the Cuban Junta, held at
New Orleans on the 29th ultimo, Gen. John A.
Quitman handed in his resignation as Comman-u
--er-in-Chief of the .expedition which has been to
long organized 'against Cuba. All of the Ameri
can officers who held commissioners in this Quit
man army have also resigned, and the cause of
Cuba is now in the hands of the Junta.
The authority for this statement is not disclosed,
but it is rendered very brobably by the little e»
eouragement which has been given to the expect,
tiou at homo or abroad. In tho first plaoe, our
Executive Government not only showed no tavc r
to the Ostend scheme of acquisition, but stili le: s
to filibustwo designs on the island, which it for
mally denounced and menaced with all the pen
alties of the law. lathe next place, the Senate,
on the last night of their late session, refused to
countenance a repeal of our neutrality laws; and,
thirdly, and perhaps not the least discouragement
was, that Gen. Conoha had placed tho island in
such a state ot defence, a- d was prepared to give
any filibustero expedition so warm a receptior, as
to render the enterprise as doubtful in its pleasant
ness as it* success. With so many discourage
ments, therefore, we think it very probable that
the statement copied above is true, and that we
may consider “ Othello’s occupation” as gone—for
tho present at least.—Aa«. Jut.
Nmum Qciimxa or Minx.—ln the Medical
Convention now in session at Philadelphia, Dr. N.
8. Davis, of Chicago, on Thursday presented a
report on tae nutritive qualities of milk, and also
on the qnestion whether there is not some mode
by which the nutritive constituents of milk can
be preserved in their purity and sweetness, and
furnished to the inhabitants of cities in such
quantities as to supersede the present defective
and often unwholesome modes of snppjy. The
report says, that when railroads were opened into
the interior of the country, it was said that milk
would be furnished to residents of qitie6 in the
polity that it was found on forms, but a sufficient
time had elapsed to demonstrate that suoh is not
the case. Tee conveyance oi the milk from the
farm to the cars, the transit on the railway, and
the time lost in its delivery throughout the city, it
was clearly ahowß, had the effect of making it un
fit for the nourishment of a child. Daring the
past half century experiments had been made
with a view of preserving milk fn its pure state,
yet it was bnt recently that a discovery had been
made by a gentleman in New York, which was to
evaporate the water and mix with white sugar,
which rendered it what is termed solidified milk.
In his practice he had ased this improved milk for
the nourishment of infants, with the most grati
fying results, and alter caving kept it tor three
months; and he knew of its-having been kept
twelve months without any injury to its qualities.

Mb. Wise atfeabs to be preparing himself
should he meet with defeat in the coming Virginia
election, for that deepest degradation into which
the disappointed politician can fail—a merited end
unpitied overthrow. His harangues are unparallel
ed in the virulent bitterness of their toee and char
acter. The most violent and abusive language
alone suits his utterance of the estimation m
which he holds his opponents. Pretending to be
democratic he aails those who take the liberty of
thinking differently from him a “ousy,ChristJese,
godless set,” “fair specimens of the spawn of
blackguardism, Know Notkingiam and rabbleism,’ 1
<te. Such language would disgrace the reeling be
sotted habitue of a groggery—ooming from a can
didate for the governorship of Virginia, the land
heretofore of courtesy and refinement, it ia more
than shocking. These ebullitions of bad temDer
and worse taste must be regretted by Mr. W lie's
friends and oan certainly add nothing to the
strength of hw cause. They are rather premoni
tions of defeat, and wiU hereafter be restorted
upon him by thoee who now applaud as among
the causes contributing to his overthrow £ai*.

The Anti-BUvery residents of Kansas Lave ad
dressed a memorial to Congress, giving their ver
sion of the recent occurrences in the Territory.—
The following are the concluding paragraphs:
“We might continue the list of these sickening
details until the blood of every freeman would boil
with indignation; but it is useless. One more
'instance alone we wilt refer to. In the 18th elec
. tion district, where tha population was scarce, and
no great amount of foreign votes was needed to
overpower it, a detachment from Missouri from
sixty to one hundred, passed in with a train of
wagons, arms and ammunition, making their
camp, the night before the election, near Moores
town, the place of the polls, without even a pretext
of residence, and returning immediately to Missou
ri after their work was done, their leader khd cap
tain being a distinguished citixen of Miasouri, but
late the presiding officer of the Senate of the United
States, who had a bowie knife and revolver belted
-around him, apparently ready to shed the blood of
any mau who refused to be enslaved. All these
facts we are prepared to establish if necessary, by
proof that "would be competent iu a court of
justice.
From a careful examination of the returns, we
are satisfied that over three thousand votes were
thua cast by the citizens aad re idents of the States
snd that a very large portion of the residents were
deterred or diacoaraged from going to the polls.—
If thi&copdition of tbiugs is allowed to prevail, we
are reduced to the state of a vassal province, and
are governed by the State of Missouri.”
The Platte (Mo.) Argus commenting upon the
recent destrnction of the office of the Parkville.
Luminary says:
We are satisfied that in FarkviUe alone, other
abolitionists can be found, who ought to be dealt
with—men as destitute of moral principle as Parke
-or Patt'.rson. Preachers of the Gospel, who, in
stead of teaching the merits of our Saviour, incul
cate the lessons of abolitionism. They must be
looked to. It is not alone among Northern Meth
odist that an abolition preachercan be tonnd—and
herein we admire the spirit of our resolutions to
investigate the conduct and teachings of ail,
whether Mithodist, Presbyterian or any other re
ligions denomination.
We shall have occasion hereafter to point oat
other traitors in Parkvillee, as well as Borne nearer
home. We shall keep up the ball until it rolls to
Jackson and Hole, and even to St. Louia county,
sweeping into rivers and brazing bonfire the abo
litiomsm of the Inquirer, Messenger, Democrat,
Intelligencer, and others of the same Btripe.
For this consummation we devoutly pray—for it
we are determined to fight until their colors strike,
or their presses are annihilated.
We urge all to go to Parkville on Saturday next.
It will be an eventful day, and we hope all will
turn out. We want it done calmly and deliber
ately. If Parke demands a trial give it to him bat
let it be summary. Let it be joßt and impartial,
and let the verdict bo upheld.
The Kansas Herald of Freedom puts forth the
following warningto all persons who maybe dis
posed to re-enact the scenes at Parkville, which
resulted in the destruction of the Luminary press:
It was said by the rioters in Parkville, on Satur
day, that the destruction of the Luminary office
was designed as an example to bthers, and it is
very knowingly hinted that onrs will meet with a
similar fate. Very well, we have coneludod to give
any number of perso s wbo wish to perpetrate
suoh an act of folly, a freo pass to “kingdom
come,” and we pledge them every assistance in
our power. Probably many of them never took
au upward journey, and would like to try the ex
periment of sailing on a blaze of glory, such as a
couple of kegs of gunpowder, exploded at an op
portune occasion, would furnish.
We have not a member in our fanflly, ourself
included, who would not deem a transit into the
fnturo life with compagnons de voyage, of a goodly
number of printing press destroyers, as a favor
rarely to be met with. Should the Herald of
Freedom office at any time be invaded for the
purpose of destruction, we give this timely warn
ing to all, both friend and foe, that unle-s they
wish to “go up” they had better keep aloof from
its immediate vicinity, for our purpose is fixed,
and the consequences esnuot be prevented.
We have prepared a duplicate copy of our sub
scription books, and that subscribers may not be
losers by any contingency which may arise, we
horeby authorize and deputize our eeteomod friend
and general agent, H. A. Billings, to resume the
publication of the Herald of Freedom, should it
bo suspended by violence, at suoh point as he may
designate, and we further donate to him our entire
effects in Kansas Pennsylvania, or elsewhero, to
prosecute the publication of euch paper, with this
one condition, that he shall give the advocates of
slavery partioular “ Josse” during the balance of
his life.”
The St. Louis Intelligencer publishes extracts
from the press in all parts of Missouri, which
condemn in the strongest terms the destruction of
the industrial Luminary by a mob. The St. Louis
Republican of Thi rsday last, states that on the
day previous, Mr. Parke, one of the editors of the
Luminary, called at that office, and adds:
Mr. Parke is the owner of slaves—has grown np
in Missouri, and acquired wealth, and we sbonld
not suppose from bis appearance and character,
that be would make himself obnoxious to any
olass of people. We do not protend to say what
his partnor in the publication of tho paper (Mr.
Patterson) may be, but we do not think Mr. Pnrko
onght to call down the indignation of any set of
men. However all this may turn ont Mr. Parke
has acted as n prudent man in retiring from the
scene of tho late troubles, instead of attempting to
resist them.
While on this subject, it may be as well to cor
rect a story which has been started, to tho effect
that Mr. Parke waß lynched by a party in Kansas
Territory, just before he loft lor this city. No
thing of the kind happened. $0 attempt was
made to commit this outrage upon him, and we
hope tho abolitionists, when speaking of these
things, will o nit this enormity.

Tho Galveston Nows of Tnseday last, gives the
following acoounl of the narrow escape of the
steamship Charles Morgan from destruction by fire
on her last trip from this port just before her ar
rival off Gal veston bar:
Tho fire broke out near the cook’s stove, bnt was
afterwards discovered in the holds of the steamer.
Somo four feet square of her deck had to bo cut
away in order to get at the flames, when they were
finally extinguished after some fifteen or twenty
minutes of well directed efforts on the part of the
captain and others. Although an accident of this
kind is well calculated to strike terror into the
stoutest hearts, threatening all with the most ter
rible death that can well be conceived, yet we un
derstand there was no undue excitement among
the passengers and crew. Capt. Lawless ia highly
complimented for the coolness and self possession
with which he gave his orders, until all danger dis
appeared. The fire toek place on Friday evening,
about six or eight hours before the steamer arrived
at our bar, which was about 10 o’clock on Friday
night.
The Galveston Nows is informed that Sea Island
cotton is successfully cultivated in several parts of

various places, from Gonzales to tho Gulf, to go
into the cultivation of this description of cotton.
Not less than one thousand acres, tho News is in
formed, will this year be cultivated in this cotton
in Wostern Texas.
We have the welcome intelligence by this ar
rival that copious and refreshing rains have fallen
in several parts of Texas.

unanimoualy. It is presumed that Hiss acted in
this singular manner at the advice of his counsel,

that the House feared important developments to

AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1855.
California Items.
The Alta California of the 17th, in its summary,
furnishes the following intelligence :
Daring the past week we have had frequent and
heavy rains, carrying rejoicing to the miner, the
farmer and the ranebero. The “ dry season” is
approaching, and we can expect but a very few
rainy days before next winter. Probably more
than an average quantity of rain has fallen the
past season. The mountain streams are all fall,
and from the mining region we hear no complaints
of a w#Lt of water.
An overstocked market contributes to a depre
ciation of all description of merchandise. During
the psst week the following named clipper ships
have arrived at this port; The Tornado, Sunny
South, Sea Nymph, Morning Light, Charming,
Manlius, Flying Arrow, Water Witch and West
ern Comment frexn New York; the Telegraph,
Charmer, Saracen, Reindeer, Beaton L’ght and
Golden City, lrom Boston ; and the Greenwich
and Sparkling Wave, from Philadelphia; seven
teen ships, and all heavily laden with goods. Os
coarse a large loss must result to the shippers, but
there will be a proportional gain to the oonsunaers ;
and there is scarcely an article, certainly none of
the necessaries of life, that cannot be purchased
here as cheaply as in- any of the Eastern markets.
There is a complaint of dull limes and a tight
ness of money ; failures of mercantile houses and
reafestate owners are noted ; two of them among
persons who have recently ranked with the wealth
iest in the Stafo.
The mines aie yielding largely, and every day
brings reports of new discoveries. Mining is by
far the best business‘in California. It is the safest
and promises the surest return. Mechanics and
olerks, who in times past have been intent ©n fol
lowing their professions in San Francisco and
other cities, are now flocking to the mines to try
their fortunes at gold diggings.
The steamer whiohsailß to-day will take more
treasure than hat been shipped byaDy Bteamer
sinoe the bank faßuro. A considerable sum goes
in the shape of fnight money, earned by tho dip
pers recently arrived. -
Tho O.'-S. Land Commission is making sure pro
gross in th» ssttlenant of land titles: Judge
Felch has been caned to Washington; and the
other Commissioner, Messrs. Thompson and
Farwell, are devoting their entire attention to the
business of the Board* -There con be no doubt
that within the yagr every title in tho Btato will be
adjudwotarf.
Both branches of the Legislature have fixed
upon the BUth instant as the tune for adjournment.
There have been some rumors recently touching a
revival of the Senatorial question, bnt it is not
very probable that this vexed matter can be brought
up again this session. The Legislature has passed
au anti-gambling law. It is very stringent in its
E revisions, and must effectually close all the gam
ling houses in the State. Mr. Doafias’ bill for
div ding California into three Stites—Shasta,
Calif ornia and Colorado—is in the hards of a com
mittee; but division cannot take place this year.
The recent decision in the case of "ho Mariposa
and Ritchie cases, by the Supreme Court of the
Uuited Siates, has produced n feelingof rojoicing
amou& the land claimants. Thoy fcol now that,
sooner or later, justice will be doue tuem.
The newe from Kern River is of thi same nature
as tho accounts received last week. I’ho diggings
are by no means bo rich a3 at first represented to
bo.
That mysterious personage, “Sam,’ is around
in these parte. In San Jose, last week, his favorite
candidates fir c'rty officers were defeated by the
“Indpondents," a fusion of all factions. In other
parts of the State he lias been more successful.
Brunches of “Freedom’s Phalanx” aave been
organized in different section of the Stifle. This is
a secret organization, designed to operate against
tho Know Nothings.
Tho Treasurer of the State last week redeemed
18500 of the State bonds at par. Tlia Treasurer
has $50,000 te be applied to the redemption ot tbe
7 per cent, bonds, but as he can got no bonds here
he will advertise in the East for bids.
Major Robert Barnard, U. S. Egineers, died at
Los Angeles on tbe Othimtant. His remains were
brought to San Francisco Cor interment.
About two hundred men are at work at the
Navy Yard, at Mare Island. Laborers’ wages $8
per day; mechanics’, $5 to $0 per day.
Tho brig Vesta, with Col. William Walker and
about one hundred and fifty of his followers, was
to have sailed yesterday lor Nicaragua. Colonol
Walker has roceivod a grant of land in that coun
try, and goes to “colonise” it. [So it appoars Col.
Walker und his party did not sail on March 81, as
was reported by the San Francisco Sun.]
The San Francisco Herald says that rents of ail
kinds of buildings have fallen more than one half
within the laßt six or eight mouths, and many
eligible houses and stores may be seen placarded
“To Let.”
The clipper ship Spitfire, which sailed from San
Francisco on the 16111 ult. for China, carried up
wards of one hundred and fifty Chinese passengers.
Major Barnard, wheso death at Los Angeles, is
noticed above, was a native of New York. His
disease was liemmorago of the lungs.
The Sacramento Tribune, of April 14, says :
It is proposed to establish a Know Nothing or
gan at San Francisco upon the adjournment of tho
Legislature. It is said a large fund has been
raised for tho object, and that several well knowu
writers will be oditorially connected with it. The
design is to make it a campaign paper, only to
continue until the fall election.
Laver vkom the Isthmus or Panama. —The As
pinwuli Courier says that thougn there have boen
very frequent and nnnsually severe rains tbe rail
road is in excellent condition.
A severe shock of an earthquake was felt in
Aspinwall at about 9-49 P. M., on tho 25th of April.
The Courier sayß:
A severo shock of an earthquake was felt in this
city about 940 p. m., on the 25th. It ran from
South to North, and the vibrations lasted for more
than half a minute, shaking all tho buildings in itß
range severely. It appears to have affected an
aroa of not more than a milo in width, to much ex
tent, and to have traversed the entire transit of
the Isthmus quite generally. It was felt very per
ceptibly in Panama, and all along tho lino of the
Railroad. At Gatnn it displaced one of the houses
belonging to the Company, used as a hospital, and
tho effects of its progress were visible at other
' points.
The Keen Riveb Mines. —Since our last issue,
says the San Diego Herald, a number of citizens
have returned from tne newly discovered mines,
and all confirm the information wo have heretofore
givon of the fact of gold being found. A majori
ty of those who have returned are so well satisfied
with what they have seen, that they are fitting
themselves out with the necessary mining imple
ments and provisions, and intend immediately re
turning. A few others who woro not so well sat
isfied in regard to the productiveness of tho mines
at tbe point now worked, are still so sanguine that
rich placers are to bo fonnd in the same range of
mountains, but further south, that they fitted ont
with a month’s provisions and started out on
Tuesday, 27th March, for tho eurpose of thor
oughly prospecting tho range of mountains as far
sonth as the State fine. Several men came in from
the newly discovered gold mines on yesterday,
April 4th. Thoy report that those at work aro
barely making day wages. A parly of two mon,
by hard work, took out forty dollars in ten days.
i'he following is from the Los Angelos Star of
tbe 14th inst., which is the latest dale receive by
the America:
Several persons have recently arrived from the
Korn River mines, and some of them will return
after tarnishing themselves with the requisite ne
cessaries. Ono of our acquaintance says some of
tho claims, whiob, at the beginning, prospect very
rich, have entirely given out, and others are im
proving in richness. Ho informs us that Mr. Cal
houn lias a fine claim, paying $8 to tbe man per
day. Mr. Palmer has another, from which he is
realizing $lO per day; and Mr. Moore from $5 to
$S por day to the man. Many others aro paying
well to those who work. Two, or oven one dollar
per day is far bettor employment than to come
bock hero and leaf around cmr grog shops. The
shoulder strikers that mado themselves so conspi
cuous on the first rush to the diggings have noarly
all left for parts unknown. Mr. Horefold left this
week with a large stock of goods for hig stores in
the mines, which fact proves tbe fallacy of the re
port of there being no gold in that region.
Mobe Gold Dbcotehiib Retorted. —ln the val
ley of the Tehaehepy, says the Southern Cali
fornian, some distance this side of Kern River,
parties have lately prospected, aud find gold in
abundance throughout it* entire extent, some
twenty miles is length by from five to ten ia
breadth. As we are informed, no one locality ap
pears to be richer than another; bnt the whole ex
tent of the valley seems to be impregnated with
the precious metals. Whether this will prove to
boa mere superficial affair, that will eke ont and
exhaust itself, remains to be seen. Os tbe fact
that gold has been found that pays twenty five
cents to the pan, and that, too, not alone in some
one favored Bpot, but everywhere that an examina
tion has been made, admits of bo donbt. Should
this valley prove to bo ae rich as anticipated, it
will become one of the most attractive portions of
the miniug regions, as it is now on account of Re
great natural fertility of soil, <Scc.
Those who have visited tho volley universally
describe it as superior to any tract of country they
oversaw, completely shut in by majestic moun
tains, covered by a luxuriant growth of the finest
bunch grass, which in the month of January was
over two feet high, and watered by streams of the
purest water; affording unsurpassed attractions
to settlers, many of whom have already established
themselves and are making improvements with
the design of permanently remaining there.
The Gadsden Purchase.— By the gentleman just
arrived, says the Southern Californian, from the
Gadsden Purchase, we have received information
ot tha party who left here some months since un
der the direction of Mr. Sackett, formely of this
eity, for the purpose of taking possession of a
rumored silver mine situated within the new tcr
titory. The mine or mines -civa been known as
the PieDchcs do Plata. It will be recollected that OR
their way the party made discovery of a very rich
copper and gold mine, some hundred miles the
other eide of the Colorado, aad a portion of tbe
expedition with Mr. Sackett ram anted, while the
balance went to the aii.ar mine. The gentleman
above referred to, has been residing for a year
past in the vicinity of these mines, having pni cea
sed and stocked a ranch, which had been tormerly
destroyed and deserted in consequence of the hoe
tillty of the Apaches. He says that the silver mine
is a failure ; extensive explorations have been
made and numerous shafts discovered, showing
that formerly mining bad been carried on to a
great extent, bnt have been long since deserted.—
Silver undoubtedly exists, but not in sufficient
quantities to make it JncratWe, at the present time
especially, when every difficulty has tp beenconn
tered-in the way of hostile oavages, scarcity and
great expense of obtaing the necessaries of life,
want of adequate msans of trensporation, etc. Af
ter a snort stay, therefore, the party retracted
tbeir steps to the copper mine. This onr informant
represents to be very rich and valuable.
Lateb jbom Obegon. —By th. arrival of the
steamship Empire City, ws b-ve Portland (Ore
gor) papers to April 7, fourteen days later than we
previously had. They contain very tittle news of
general iaterest.
The municipal election in Portland took place
on tha ad. “Sam” was present, (he’s a great trsv-
and carried everything before him. George
W. Yanghan was eleeted Mayor by 101 majority.
All other city officers and the ConccUmen elected
were recommended by Sam, and had large majori
ties. Last year the Democrats were triumphant at
the city election by a sweeping majority.
We notice that progress is making in the estab
lishment of telegraph communication between
Portland aad &an * rancisco. The Betting up of
poets for tne wires has been commenced at the
Portland end of the line, and the Oregonian saye:
W e learn that the work on that portion of the
line leading from the Sacramento valley north
ward, is being rapidly proeecuted, and will soon
be in operation as far north as Yreka (the Oregon
line.) The time intended for finishing the Une
from thi* piaoe to Corvalis is short, which when
finished will bat require the continuation of the
line irom that place as far south as our southern
boundary, to place us in instant communication
with San Francisco.
Prize Peats. —Barney Williams, the Irish
comedian, who has just returned from a successful
professional tour in Caliiomia, makes the follow
in* liberal proposals to dramatic sntbors. He
offers $l5O for the best faroe, SBOO for the best
three act drama, and SSOO for the best three or
five act comedy, in each of which the prominent
characters will be an Irishman and a Yankee
woman. The plays are to be handed in at the
Broadway theatre by the first of August.
Tne Bolden Age DUasier.
The following account of the disaster to the ship
Golden Age we tin ! in the Panama Star, from Al
len McLann, who was on board :
A little after midnight of the 28th of April, we
passed the Is'and of Montircso?, the sea perfectly
smooth, and a good mpon; from thence Capt. Wat
kins steered direct tor the passage b tween the Is
land of Quibo and Qaicara, inclining to the shore
of the latter, in order to keep clear of dangers
(sunken rocks) laying towards the shore of the
other named isiand. At about 2A.M. of the 29th,
the ship going over the ground at the rate of 14
miles per hour, pointed out for the passage and
apparently clear of the reef off Quic -ra, as laid
down upon the captain’s chart, she struck full and
fair. The captain was on dock himself (speaking
with Mr. As pm wall.) as indeed he had been ail
night, and doing all a skiltul and prudent
navigator could to guide his ship in safety. The
sea was calm and smooth, without any appearance
or indication of hidden danger—instantly upon
striking, an immense volume of water rushed into
her forward—the pumps were all put in immediate
requisititm, boats cleared away, &c. In five min
utes the Engineer reported the water rising with
great rapidity, utterly beyond all efforts of the
pumps.
At this time wo had fifteen feet forward and
seventeen fathoms after and amid ships. The Cap
tain’s fisst intent on of landing his passengers in
stanly, was frustrated by the rapidity of the rise
of the water in the hold and her settling aft, from
the depth of the water amidship and aft, whioh
circumstance rendered it imperative to drive full
length on thereof. At this instant Bhe rollod hea
vily, and her bow fell off the reef or rock. Having
a good head ot steam, Watkins determined to run
on a little further for the main reef, which he
knew lay a short distanco ahead; upon starting,
she rollod heav ly, from side to side, and streered
wildly, coming to too much, and striking a second
time. He backed her off, keeping her stem cloar,
and egain went ahead, running along the reef, de
laying his purpose of beaching her so long as ho
had steam to force her ahead until ho should find a
■pot offering the best chance of saviug his passen
gers—of course, time flew, aud thus passed anoth
er five miuutes, the water up to the furnaces of the
port boilers and above those of the starboard one
—all the fin>s of the latter out. Shj still had steam
in the boilers; the engineers and firemen up to
thetr necks in water iu the fire room.
A few hundred yards ahead we could make out
a small cove, beyond the point of the island, bight
ed apparently with a sand bank. The steamer
still went ou nndor command of her holm, the
water gaining on the pumps, bailing, &c. An
other five minutes, ana the balance of the fires
were out. W e had about a hundred yards yet to
go to our cove, which we were now nearly abreast
of.
The captain put his holm hard a port and headed
right on the beach. Tne water along the aide con
tinned deep, and the engine turned over very
slowly. On wo wont, sounding tea fathoms, six
fathoms, and finally she stopped, her bow within
thirty feet of the shore ; but so slow was her move
ment that no one felt the stop. We had 17 feet
all round ; the boilers only had steam enough left
to make some two or three revolutions. Alter our
first leeling of gratitude to Almighty God for our
deliverance from a sudden and tearful danger from
the Arctic’s fate—we paid tribute in admiration to
Watkin’s for his admirable coolness, presence of
mind, and great efficiency, quick thought and
prompt action I
I cauuot omit to mention the perfect behavior of
tho passengers in all respects. The discipline
quietly Dutcff;ctly maintained from tho tiist mo
ment of peril, with tho prompt measures taken,
inspired gene al confidence. No apparent alarm,
no rush, no noise—all stood ready to obey orders,
and moved and acted as directed. Tho women
were the truest of the true, and set an example
worthy to be remembered and followed.
Another account of it says;
A crash ensued, and the steamer stood still. A
silence followed for a moment, tending to inspire
the mind with awe, each whispering to a neighbor,
“What Is it?” “What has happened?” Rush
ing tumultously on dock, it soon became too evi
dent to ns all what was tho matter. Tne noble
steamer was aground in about twelve feet, with the
deep water’of the mid channel uuder her stern
post, her forefoot knocked away, stem broomed
and the water coming in ra idly—steam roaring
through the escape pipe, and the beam at 45 de
grees, (the engine being on its centro.) All this
required but a few moments for its full compre
hension, for the people generally wore pretty cool,
and discipline prevailed.
“Beach her as quick as God will let you,” said
Captain Tyler to tne commander, who saw from
the quantity of water in tho fire room, to Fay noth
ing of tho smell of gas produced by the water en
tering the furnaces, that the leak was a very sori
ous one. The weight of tho water found i:s way
to the after hold, owing to tho inclination of tho
keel, and buoyed her bows from tho rock, by rea
son of which she came gently off, and, ioiling heu
vily, shifted the immenso bulk of passengers from
side to side ou the hurricane deck. A turn back
cleared her off the reef. A turn ahead and she
struck again, being slow to answer her helm now.
She struck tremendously, as though tho swell set
from uuder her, aud so let her down upon tho
rocks—she carooued badiy, and took in water on
her starboard guard.
Onco more the passengers on dock shifted sides
with the shock, and this time there wont up a
shriek as though the last mom .nt had come. Onco
more a revolution back, onco more a bell to go
ahead, and she swept gently by tho hidden dan
ger—fires all out, and out littlj steam, and Bank
in still water, near a smooth, Bandy beach.
Manv of the ladies now begged to bo lauded, but
theirj roars wore soon quelled, and all remained
quietly on board till the J.L. Stephens came along
and took us to Panama, only two days after. Tho
Golden Age, it is supposed, would be saved in a
damaged condition.

The Lite ot a Glsutese.
Mias Sylvia Hardy, the lady now being exhibited
at Barnum’s American Museum as the “Maine
Giantess,” ia a woman of peculiar and remarkable
characteristics. Iu birth and descent, she is
thoroughly American. She was born in 1825, iu
tho village of Wilton, Frauklin county, State of
Maine. Her father, who died at 66, and before slm
wbh six years old, was born in the same village.—
Her mother, who still lives, aud is now 57, was
born in Falmouth, Maine. Her grandmother was
born in the same town. Her grandfather was born
in Martha’B Vineyard, Mass.
Miss Hardy was, at birth, one of tho smallest of
infants. Dr. Barton, of Wilton, who attended
her mother at tho time, ÜBed to remark that he
bad never seen anything, oven of tho twin kind,
so diminutive. Her twin brother diod at a very
early age. Both togother only weighed, wo aro
assured, thtoo and a half pounds.
Miss Hardy remained a child of very ordinary
size until she was twelve years of Bge, when she
suddenly took to growing with a rapidity that
alarmod her friends, and startled all h r acquaint
ances. As she had five sisters, ono of whom was
older thau herself, and all wore below than above
the common statute of the sex, her growth was
the more surprising.
At thirteen Miss Hardy was tall. At fourteen,
Bbe was a novelty. At fff een, Bho was a wonder.
She increased in this extraordinary manner until
she attained her twenty first yoar, whon sho re
mained stationary for about four years. During
this period of rapid growth, it was impossible to
make her clothing fit her with anything like com
mou accuracy, She seemed to alter each day.
She p' obably altered each week.
The dress that became her ono month was there
fore useless the next: and thus, for nine years, it
was neoosssry to make all her apparel with super
fluous tucks find folds, in ordor to accommodate
them to her condition.
One effect ot this elongating process was, of
course, oonstaht ill hoalth. She was excessively
thin, and could not, under the circumstances, bo
come any stouter. She wse so weak as to be
almost unable to stand.
Her bones could not strengthen in substance suf
ficiently fast for their continued expansion, and so
grew painfully brittle. In attempting to walk,
therefore, one day, she fell to tho ground and frac
tured a leg seriously. Nature, however, in the
celerity of her physical developments, soon reme
died tho evil, and thus tho cause subsequently
aided in tho cure.
Miss Hardy is now about *0 years of age. She
has grown about Beven inches since she was twen
ty-one, and is nearly eight feet high at the present
mernent. She weighs three hundred and forty six
pounds, is massively proportioned, robust, mat
ronly in her appearance, symmetrical in figure,
bat inclined to stoop, (as most tall people are,) a
habit acquired in her native village, where her gi
gantic height subjected her to a sorutiuy on the
part ol strangers, most annoying to her bashful
nature.
HeFfeatures are large. The expression of her
faoe, if not handsome, is amiable ; her disposition
ia mild and gc-n lo to a pleasing degree. Her
movements are easy and graoefui, although, hav
ing never before left her village home, she is as yet
nnsophistica'ed in fashinable ways, and moves and
acts with a timidity that a littlo more acqu iutar.ee
with public life will readily remove.
The Rev. Wm. Badger, of Wilton, Dr. Barkor,
Dr. Pea lee, Columbus Gray, Esq., attorney ot
law, of the same place, indeed nearly all of tho re
spectable portion of the population of Wilton and
East Wiitoft, knew Miss Hardy well, and speak of
her moral character in terms of the highest regard.
She certainly Is one of the most wonderful natural
phenomena of the age.
A good hit. —The New Herald thus pitches in
to the Richmond Enquirer;
“ Which is Which? —The Richmond Enquirer
says that the London Times always arrays itself
in favor of any movement against tho well being

by the Times' articles approving of the principles
ot the new American movement. The Kiohmond
Enquirer forget a that the London Times was as
ardent in support of Geneeal Pierce’s election to
the Presidency as it is in favor of the American
party. Was th« London Times, supporting Gen

Taking down a 4udc-e.—One of the old fashion

argument in tha case. “ But, may it please your
honor,” says tha advocate, “yoar honor will cer
tainly hear an argument if your honor has decided

“ May it please your honor, l don’t see where in

I don't snow where to find one.”
Cayuga Lake.— The Ithioa journal says that a
phenomenon similar to the one noticed in the wa
ter of the Seneca Lake has been observed in those
of the Cayuga. The waters suddenly rose about
three feet five inches and remained at that height
six or seven minutes, then subsided, and after a
brief interval, again rose two feet snd then fell to
its original icrel. It is stated that while rising
like a huge wave, the water turned up two old
wrecks of boats near the pier, which were com
pletely imbedded in mud. In tbe reflux an old
boat t'jmsd up near the pier, which no one aver
remembered having seen. An old fisherman said
he had lived beside the Cayuga fifty years, and he
never knew it to out such tantrums before.

Middle Ground Railroad.
At a Railroad Convention, held at Griffin, on
the 14th March, 1855, composed of delegates from
the counties of Henry, Spalding, Pike, Meriwether
and Harris, to consiaor the propriety of oonstruot
ing a Raliroad, (to be called the ‘ ‘Middle Ground
Railroad,”) from Covington, Newton co., through
Henry, by McDonough and Griffin, through Meri
wether, by Greenville, through Harris by Hamil
ton, and hence to Columbus; amongst their other
actings and doings, they appointed tho undersign
ed individuals, “To prepare for publication, an
Address, setting forth the advantages to be real
ized,” (and wo may add, by the publio, as a con
venience, and by the capitalists, as an investment,)
from the construction of said road.

From tho abovo statistical basis, the road must
be the carrior of a largo amount of produce and
our staple commodity, not only from the countios
above indicated, but snperadding a large amount
of freight from counties lying contiguous to tho
line of road, with constantly returning cars, richly
freighted to supply tho wants of a large and rapid
ly increasing population ; bosides bringing to our
vory doors, tho commerce of tho Gulf, and Groce
ry market of New Orleans, the best supplied, and
the cheapest in the world.
Tho city of Columbus is already foreshadowed
as the point of distribution for the commerco of
the Gulf, and this road in reaching this point,
pifsses over no preoccupied territory, and wii l in
terfere, with the niaki.g and earnings of no rival
lino. Passing over a largo and fertile scope of
country, containing a large and rich population, it
will content itself with tho earnings and emolu
ments dorivablo from its own immediate sphere of
action; and dividing with other lines of road tho
commerce of the Gulf, it will not fail to attract tho
consideration of the capitalists;—it will not foil to
yield as profitable and remunerating roturns as
that of any road now traversing the State.
The gloat mail must pass over this road. Wo
say tho great mail must pass over this road, be
cause the rulo regulating the transmission of the
mail to and from important commercial points,
requires tho selection of the nearest and most ex
peditious lino of route. It is upon this principle
that Savannah, since tho completion of the Opelika
road, may reasonably claim tho transportation.
For the Georgia Railroad to expect to rotain tho
service, whilst it remains at so great a distance
from Columbus, is Utopian in tho extreme. And
so it is with everything else, for as long as man
retains his reason and properly considers commer
cial tconomy, so long will lio seek the nearest mar
ket and that by tho shortest route. The conside
ration of time and expense, will evor exact from
him a constant adherence to this powerful and
oontroling motive.
The city of Columbus, as woll as the sovoral
counties, (already designated) lying on the lino of
this contemplated road, should bo very active in
promoting and securing the consummation of an
ontorprize, to thorn of vast import. The peoplo,
along the lino of tho road, must not forget that the
Mobile and Girard railroad will soon be completed
to Columbus, for necessity, exacting necessity,
requires its speedy construction. Says tho “Mont
gomery Mail“ That in consequence of tho want
of transportation, there is no doubt there has boon,
and will bo, a dead loss in that citv of at least five
dollars a bale, on thirty thousand bales of cotton.”
Andsuporadding to this intelligence, “The Mobile
Tribune estimates the entire loss for the season, on
the whole cotton crop for the State, from the ina
bility of planters to get their orops to market at
two millions of dollars.” To moot theu this im
mense trade, that must bo carried by this Great
Road, thopoople of the designated countios should
have their road at Columbus ready to receive it.
Would you have a market tor tho productions of
yonr toil and labor 7 Would you have brought to
your vory doors a rich and varied commerce?—
then hasten with ns to raise the means which shall
secure a result so desirable.
We do not know that Columbus is required to
patronize any siDgle road to tho exclusion of others.
All will influence her destiny, and to each she
should oxtend the ready and helping hand. Sho
cannot remain a passive spectator. She can behold
all the approaches wit i a single and undivided
interest. Her prosperity in these approaches is
collective, and does not depend on any single one.
All roads which expect to protit by tho commerce
of the Golf, mus- approach Columbus. This is
the point of distribntion; there is none other ; it
is her destiny, every road approaohing her, (and
many must,) are but so many instrumentalitOß,
which shall tell her future story, maguifloence and
wealth. Her location is now and ever will bo her
destiny. Her bright and happy fntnre is not to be
predicated on present achievements, on existing
developments. Sho is destined to rooeive upward
and onward strength from causes which lie in her
and about her; and of which all tho past is but a
faint foreshadowing.
Savannah, with a prndonoe and foresight emi
nently her own, lost no time in preparation, in
making a connection with Columbus; sho is now
there ; she has passed it; sho is at Opelika. Is
the trade of Now Orleans to bo secured by the
Montgomery and West Point Railroad? Savannah
is at Opelika. Is the trade of New Orleans to
be secured by tho Girard and Mobile Railroad ?
Savannah is at Cotumbu-, and sho is there, too,
without competition—with only a distance of two
hundrod and ninety-ono miles, from whero the
turbulent wave lashes the frottod shoro to the
gushing murmurs of Chattuhoochee’s sparkling
wa'ers. Savannah is at Columbus, now ready to
link on with the groat Mobile and Girard Railroud,
to roceivo its rich and varied freights—and spaed
it on to fur and distant points.
And where is Charleston and Augusta ? Do
they expect to divide with Savannah tho trade of
Now Orleans, and tho Commerce of the Gulf? If
bo, they must approach Columbus by a a«ui and
nearer route, they must overcame some and not
small inequalities, in distance. And this distance
must be annihilated, else all thoughts of compe
tition abandoned. Let us bo accurals in a muttor
so grave, trom Savannah to Columbus is two
hundrod and ninety-one miles. From Charleston
to Columbus, by Opelika, (and her only route,) is
four hundred and forty seven miles, a distance in
favor of Savannah and aguiußt Charleston, of one
hundred and fifty six miles. From Augusta to
Columbus, by Opelika, (and her only routo,) is
three hundred niid eleven miles, a distance m ta
vor of Savannah and against Augusta of twonly
ono miles. Tho distance from Covington to Co
lumbus by Opelika, (the only route,) is one hun
dred and eighty one miles. The proposed road
from Covington to Columbus, passing through the
counties of Newton, Henry, Spalding, Pike, Meri
wether, Harris and Muscogoe, will not exceed
hundred miles. Charleston, Augusta j,nd Coving
ton, approaohing Columbus by this now route,
save eacketghty one mile;, distance sufficient to con
struct throe very railroads. Charleston
is ner.ror Columbus by seventy-five miles. Au
gusta is nearer Columbus by »lxty-one miles.
Thus, instead of being behind Savannah, twonty
ono miles, in her approach to Columbus, she is in
advance of Savannah sixty one miles, a considera
tion, to August a, of vital importance. Covington
in her approach to Columbus, by this new way,
actually absorbs distance itself saving eighty one
miles, in a run of one hundrod and eighty-one
miles.
In ear estimate, wo boldly throw the glove, and
say, if here is error, detect ft, expose it,
Augusta will look in vain for a more favorable
point than Covington, as the starting point of this
r.ew enterprise. For if we preserve the true prin
ciple in Kuginooring, that wo must take the short
est practicable routo, between any two specified
points; if the character of the country through
which this road will pass, its capability end fitness
to sustain a road, its being the nearest—an air
line-direotion, between the points named, should
somewhat g aide us in a transaction so grave and
serious; then I say, that Covington alono, is indi
cated as the starting point.
And this now enterprise will yet do more for the
pubhe interest, it will summon into new and active
life, the slumbering energies of some who only
sleep, because, just now, it is their policy. Did
Savannah and the Central Railroad in eighteen
hundred and fifty-three, expend Mte sum of four
thousand dollars, on the sutvoy of the North Ala
bama and South Atlantic Railroad, merely for the
purpose of being a-doing? Did sho moreiy sur
vey that portion of it between Griffin and Now-
I nan, to announce the barren facts, that this linked
the road would measure ta rty six milee and a
fraction ? Did she never exp.c! to respond to tho
claims and demands of the people of North-west
ern Goorgia and North Alabama? The mercan
tile Interest of Nownan, the people of Coweta and
Carrol aro anxious for this connection; they wish
to identify their interest with Savannah, and in
a fem mure turnings of the sands in the glass of
Time, the hour will have come. Hut it is the pol
icy of Savannah, just now, to slumber,—sho is at
Columbus, —she is there alono in her glory—with
out a competitor. And whilst undisturbed, she
will remain so, in a state of indefinite repose. But
let this new enterprise bo commenced, certify to
the world that the new road from Covington to Co
lumbus will be built, and you will have aroused
! tho lion in bis lair, and not only will the connec
tion bo speedily made, between Griffin and New
nan, but Savannah will tup the new road at Cov
ington, by the extension of the Eatonton Railroad,
and from the connection reap a glorious harvest.
And where is Charleston and Augusta? stave
they abandoned all further competition lor this
trade? Have they, will they apprca.fi Columbus,
the point of distribution ? Is Charleston at Colum -
bus ? Docs she stand on an equality with Savan
nah at this moment ( Why, Savannah is nearer
Alabama’s Capitol than Charleston is to Columbus.
Char'resson eannot so easily break company with
her ancient rival, resign all, let go the last plank
that would save hs? gallant bark, and confess, no
longer ability to buffet the waves of competition.
Come, there is no time for delay, we must speak
cow, act now, or not at all; Columbus still stands
on the banks of the Chattahoochee, tha Mobile and
Girard Railroad will soon be there,—say, Charles
ton and Augusta, will you bo ihere too 7
We have ever been the friends of widely consid

Terriule Accident on the J i fi>.ssonvili.e Rail
road,—The Cincinnati Times gives an account of
toe explosion on tho Railroad, published by us a
day or two since. It says :
Tho locomotive Bartholomew, to which was at
tached the freight train, on the Jott'orsonville Rail
road, blow up on Wednesday evening, a few miles
beyond Henry villo by which acacident the engineer
Griffin Harris, aud tha fireman, Thomas Curnoll'
wore instantly killed, and a brakoman, whoso name
we did not loam, was seriously, if not dangerous
ly wounded.
Tho accident was causod by wiml of wn'or to
the boiler, and was tho result of oitlior gross igno
ranco or culpable carclossuess.
The pumps wore known to be ont of order and
unserviceable ; and, under those circumstances, it
is a matter of surprise to ns that tho engineer was
allowed to use tho ongine.
The foroe of the explosion was torrillc. Tho n
giuoor was blown one hundred and seventy paces
from tho train, through tho thick branches of iho
trees, upon which were scattered remnants of his
mutilated body and torn clothing. The firotnan
was horribly manglod ; his entrails torn ont; n

this appeul has been responded to, already, with
a liberality, which promises success.
