Cubious Fact* about the Presidents.—Tbe
Bostou Transcript mentions some curious coinci

lives of the first i'leaidea s of ti e Uuitod States—
Washing ion, John Adam*, Jtfforson, Madison
James Lionr»e, John Q, iincy Adam* aud Jack
son. We qaeto some of tho most striking of
these :
“Four of these wore from Virginia. Two of tho
same name were from Massachusetts, sod the sev
enth from Tennessee. All hut one were sixty years
old on leaving olhco, haTi' g served two terms,
one of those w 10 s rved but one term, would
lave boons x'y year* of sgo at the end or soother.
Itiree c-t the seven died on the h of July, m 1
two of them on Tho same ray cf ibo v ye-r. Two of
them we*o on tho snb-commitrVo cf three who
drafted tie Declaration of Independence, and
these two died on the *amn dry at d j car, and on
the anniversary ©f tne D-c ration of (ndojpen

Declaration. The names ot threert the seven et.d
in son, yet neither ot transmitted his name
to a son. In respect to the n «tnes of all it may bo
said, in conclusion : Tho i itiais of the seven were
tha same, and etiil two others were he s»me. The
remaining one. who stands alone in th.s rar icu

Mr. Edit r : —An artiot© vpponrs io your puper
of this morning, headed ‘Beauties of thß Tele

rator.; gross ii justice lam compelled to a~k, ar d
-hall expect a recall of yOar Editorial remarks.
The message in question tv*s received here frem
Chirkst ucllijo veibatiiu assent to you, and the
4 eame. was sent verbatim to Charleston pap us.
Now, sir, you charge tho Operators with want of
.-etiS -, t k:il, <fcc , and further state that it really
amounts to robb ry. Quite a bold assertion, yet
c lining from the Frees, it might be supposed,
should bs passed by and aho.ryed with impaoity.
Not so. Operators have an eq ial right to pro ect
.their honor at.d rights as other meu. To the point
then : A s Op utters, wo have t o rigat to alter one
Lota of any mesr-tgi, when it has boon repeated a
second t mo and both times received al’ke, as this
was d:nr*. We have done our wuole duty, fear
lessly and faithfully. Again, it is too frequent
the case thatiba blame of errors mide by tho Be*
porter, as well as typographical errors, is thrown
upon the Telegraph. I huve often had the manu
scripts of Reporters toseLd from, and not on y
ioMibl their copies generally bungled dp, but m
such a s'.ale that more than ordinary care was re
qaired to read copy, ai d often been compelled to
lay i,aside o.i account of tho miserable v.riting
generally handed us by them. Wo are quite wi -
ling to shoulder our own bruits, but cannot nor
will not those of the Reporters ana Pr fs.
Respectfully, Jn>. A. Brenner,
Chief Ooerator, Augusta Office.
Tho Operator complains that we have done him
and hio fellows gross injustice, but fails entirely to
ehow in waat, e;r how. It he had shown that the
Agent cf the “Associated Press” at Columbia, had
senUl o dispatch as wo received it, “almost super
ceded''* &\, 'hen he wcui i have relieved the Tele
graph operator-, but this he has not done. The
Chariot-ton Courier, as «o showed, published the
same dispatch, “ Alvarez had b3eu sapercedtd*
A.” Now, whether the Courier , in trying to
make s use of ite dispatch, supplied “Alvartz”
lor “a/mos«,” or whether the operators here or in
Charleston committed the blunder, wo know not.
With tLo evidence beioro up, at the time the aiti
c e was pannod ,it was quito clear that the error was
eoMiurtiod in this ilfija, and nothin* tho Chief
Operator s: ys is at cli calculated to remove that
impression. Because, wo snppoßtd from the evi
dence afforded by the Courier, that it wus u Alta
rez, 'aa received theri, and that if the oporrtor
here, when he shw it was wrltteu “ almost ” by the
folegrayh, which made nimten-e, bad at-ked
Obnri«stontoc;rrect, it v.culd have been done.
Hence, it wia conclusive to our mini, tnatthe
error c immivted in this clficc by neglecting to
ask for a correction.
Just a- we had hub-bed this, the Chief Operator
Mr. ilrener, Ciilid in person to boo us, and as
sures i b ho is inforn e t by tho Operator in Co
lumbia, that the original copy, in the ha d- writing
of tl e A«*eut ot the “Assco a ad Frass,” is written
“ almost ,” and tint nothing ©lee can be made of it.
If this is true, of course our stricturos were m
just, and ve takepU***ura in o Buying. What ex
placatakm the Ancnt of the “Associatiuled Frees”
can moko f >r such a grois blunder, v.e kuow not.
Since tho foregoing was wril'eu, wo have re
ce vol ti e following dispa'ch from the agent of the
“Associated Frees” at Co umbiu:
“C-'Lumbla, Nov. l‘J.—Error in message the other
nivht was mads in Washington, either by operator
or correspondent; probably by tho former.”
While this* explanation rolioves entirely the ope
raito.s in Coiuuibia, Churiostou, and this city, it
by no means-relieves the agent in Columbia for
sending suCh a di-patch, lie kuow that it was
sheer nonsense, and It was his duty to have sup
pressed it there; but instead of that, he sends it
forward tdoeg tho whole hno, and the press are
made to pay lor it.
The sul j lined article from the New York Herald
shows that the word “ almost ” should have been
Ahnoiite:
“Byway of Lavana we have interesting nows

removal cf the Switch on the S*ajo Road at the

he isCv.mpeUed to haul his lnne,nefir two'mileg,

tacts, w.th the disgraceful transac

among all right-minded men, that the Governor
and his Chief Engineer has deea«ed it absolutely
necessary that some explanation should ba made
to appease the pubßc. Hebce tho following Ie ter
of the Superintendent has been published;
Millxdodville, Nov. 8, 1855.
Messrs. Mdliore /-Oowrviug ui some or the op
pcs'uon napara, a g«>od deal es remark upon the
action of our Roa i cwnoeruing the turn -oat at Mr.
Howard’s Lime Kdn, well calculated to make a
false impression onthe public miud, I for a
place in your to explain the c-übject.
Before I took cuafa* of tne Rjad, I had uotioed
the many serious accidents which had happened to
the trams ai the two turn outs which had been put
down at Howard’s ano kiln*, m Oas» co
aud I considered ihem nuisances which should be
rem ved; and among my first official acts as bu
permiendent, was an order to take out me “frogs”
a-, those p ffnis. Against this order I sr, o n received
remoneir .nets from both Messrs. Howard aid
Rogers, oat 1 should neverthe ess havs adhered to
tny de'ermination, had nofc Mr. K gers pruuuced a
contract agree! to by Mr. Mitchel, by which tiie
.oaJ was plac*2d under obligations to keep a turn
out at his kiln, so long as he burned lime, and
the right ot way through his Ln.d was the oonside
ra ion paid for the maintenance ot the turn out. I
*as compelled to rec go *) this agreement and
rescind the order, ai tar as Mr. R>gers’ kiln was
concerned, aud as 1 Gould uot c ose boiu, i did not
then close either. I deieruuned, however, not io
pass an opportunity to rii the road of those an
noyances. dome lima in September las*, iu con
seqaetice of the frogs breaking at oath kune toe
truck of the Road was&ose<l a. both, and wo Jouud
ourselves for the time, at least, clear of these in
terruptions.
Appktaal ons were iooa recaived from both
po nts tor the frogs to be replaced, to wuiou it was
replied, that oven if replaced, cars could not be
• etc th re in consequence of the great dornaud
from regular B:ations. As er wii icg two or throe
complaining letters, Mr. Rogers came iu person to
Atuuta, to represent his case. I i na i
wntlen, that 1 coaid not send 1 ini cars trflfeu even
if the irog was put to, atid I then proposed to
purchase h s right to a turn-out, which had been
guarantied to him. After some lilila negotiation,
we agreed upon the which he would Uke for
the right of way anu torn-out privilege. It was
paid to him, ai.d writings were exeba ged\by
which the Road secared the right of way and was
relieved from the auuoyuuce ot a frog at R gars,
kiln. Being ti.us cleared of one, aninotcou
sd »ui cf sny obligation to continue the other, I
caused Mr. Howard to be informed that the frog
would not bertp'ac idat his kdn. Tnis is th*
iru hful history ol the whole tran.-ajtiou.
As to the ii jury to Mr. Howard,it ib in a great
mea-mres : mag nary. He is only required to haul
his lime to Kaigaton—a distance ot less than two
mile—and ne will usual y hud cars there into
which it onu be loaded. Ue w. lthuseuj >y a reg
ularity in his tus no-*s which will p.y tto him the
cost ol hauling—even itne.-hooid not put bis
customers that acd uoual charge, ana I am very
- ure he Will not deny, that ituru g the mouth sic
OJeiing the removal of his frog, he ba-> sent <lf
more lime than for two months auto. ior to this act
of the Road, which has been adjudged so outrage
ous and oppressive.
The at.enpt to connect Gov. Johnson with
thet-e transact.ons, and to make it appear cs an act
ot political veng aic *, though quite in keeping
with the malevolence which has chaiaeterised his
opponents iL tho late canvass, is entirely vra ui
toas. The # ro* was removed before the election ,
aud the measures adopted to close up these copious
sources ol |uccideut were entirely my owu, aud
d cisie i by my conviction of their propriety.
While on the sabje -t of Mr. Howard’s griev
ances, I will advert also to the public comp aint
made by him ou the sabj-ct ol his Freights.
Lime transported f ooi his kiln to Atlanta is
charged .xact.y as I found it charged when I be
came dapermtendent, but my predece-sor mace a
reduction on lime destined to Augusta, Columbia
and other points. He made reduction aso on
corn, whea', and mine other articles, destined for
the se&b'iard. Conceiving this policy to re in cou
11 ct wi h the Superintendent’s oath, to make no
discriminations in favor of Railroads connecting
in Georgiu, and being confirmed in this opinion by
Judge K ng arid Mr Cujler, to whom I ruirgebted
the difficulty, I direiti d bit all down Freights (Lute
it.cludtdj should bear the same charg s tuheLUtr
ojfisig'tfd to At anta or print* b-.bow, and this is our
invuiiable ruie. A bushel of wheat from Chatta
nooga, a barrel of flour irom E.owah, or a cusk ot
lime from King&tou, pays tne Road the same,
whether intended for ooneamptiou at Atlauta, or
sent forward to the mo3t distant markets.
Very respect.ully, your ob’t. rerv’t.,

his fernoos letter, dated Sept. 18, 1855, iu

that “ they were bid in f * ihe roid by a gentleman

Hook, of Chattanooga, who bought the cars, that
they were Platform and Ut ck Curs, and that he
bouvhttheoi on his own account, and not as the
agent of the road or any person. So much for the
veracity of the Superintundeul’s statement. That
his account of the removal of Mr. Howard’s switch
is in thesamo category, no candid, impartial nan
will deny, who will read the following latter of Mr.
Howard :
Kingston, Nov. 9th, 1855.
Messrs. Editors. —A copy ot the At ma Exami
ner has been Font to mo, to day, Containing a let
ter from Mr. J F. Coopor, the Suparmrer dmt of
the Western 6c Aiiaut.c Rail Road, ia relation to
tbe Lime Kilns at itiis olace. Mr. Co per has been
drawn lulouevoral serious errors, which it is my
duty to correct, iu tho same puolic way in whicu
they have been attend
Mr. Cooper’s first son’ence is an extraordinary
ouo. “Observing iu soma-ot the opposition papers
a good doal remark.-* apon the action of our Hoad,
concerning the Turnout at Mr. Howaid’a Lme
Kilu,” Opposition to what! To tho Hail
Roaa i I know of no such opposition papers.
Does he use the term in a political teur-o, and
does he refer to opposition to the D mocratic Far
ty m the Stale? if so, the word is inadverteut. It
grates upou the ear, when us d iu explanation of
an offic al iransjctiou, by one entrusted with a
vast pecuniary interest, wholly separate from po
litical parties, and which b,l#>»gH neither to bo
Administration nor the opposition, but to the
whole people of Georgia.
Mr. Coopor says: “Before I took charge of the
Hoad, 1 had uoticid tho many sorious tccideats
which Pad happened to the trains at Howard’s aud
K g r»’Lime Kilns iu Cass coualy.” “Among
in> first ifficial acts was an order to take cut the
at t ee places.” The admission here is iu
c-iuiioua. It is prejudging a case and upon slight
evidence. M . Howard aud Mr. Rogers’ kilns are
separate interests—they are more ih.n six miles
apart. Did the accidents happau to oue o<* both.
If to one, is the other to be punished, although
iunccent of harm. Mr. H gerscan ►peak for him
self, but as to this turnout, I asset t, that during a
period of nearly ten year.-*, but two ate dents have
happan*‘d, neither of whiOJ was attributable to the
Lime K low. The first of those ac idents was
caused, there is every reason to believe, by a
person who wis put out for misconduct from the
passenger train in tha morning of the day in wh.oo
tne accident occurred. The switch could not at
that time be locked, and for nine years the pub
no safety depended on the earnest but gratuitous
vigilance of the Foraman at tl e kilns.
Tne second accident happened in this way: Mr.
D nmjado had built a Turnout tor the purpose of
getting rock at this quarry, to LUiid the lLo*ah
Lfridge for tLe Riil Hoad. The Ergineer of the
rock traiD, wno was in cha ge of the switch, neg
looted to ebange it ar d tbe cons* queuce was a col
lision with the Express Train, bmee the accident
a regular irog has been placed born, which was
k®pl locked and nj acccent has tince occurred.
I cannot see that these two accidents are ‘‘nume
rous accidents” iu ten years, or that these kilns
are in auy way chargeable for them or that they
make a valid reason for interrupting a state of
things wi ich had continued uninterrupted and
unquestioned du’iug the administration of eveiy
one of Mr. Cooper’s predecessors. But when wo
make up onr minds before hand it is not difficult
to be misled.
I did not suppose it was necessary to obtain a
written obligation from Vie State iu regard to this
turnout, more are cei lain obligations which can
not ba made sirouger by writing. For more than
a mile, through this properly and Col. Frunkhn’a,
no right ol way has beeu charged the Slate. When
the turnout was made ulm >st C'dempcraneo .sly
with th j Jayißg of the Ban Road true* as ihe State
assisted tn malting it, there was no limit 01 time
specified for ns contmanee, as there had been lor
years as regular a plici 01 business as any d- pot on
the Real, as many different admtnisttaliens nad so
required it, as it was known tr.e costly improve
ments have beeu made and heavy cll'jrs or pur
chase decline 1 iu view of the lac lilies connect d
with his turnout, there was every reason to
it as a fixture. N > written obligations cou d make
the reasons stronger for this belief. The more
especially, as last year, after Mr. Cooper ha J
spokan 01 removing the «rog and n*d seemed to
aOaiidou til idea of it, after he had rec< g jixsd my
••right” in this turnou’, which he exoreased a
desire to arrange in a mam er aa'isfaetury to both
panic-*,at the instance of the Road ana for it
coiiveuieneeand additional safety, ttao creation of
the turnout was s ightly changed, a new posi ion
was leve led by the £ng:neer of the Kjad, and
it.eua k laid under Ibe superiniondeuce of a Bail
Rotd Agent. Yet, Mr. Cooper speaks as uucou
cornabiy of •emoving this nuisance as it it were *
peobie in his path.
Mr C iop r is in error ss to the lime when the
freg Was r-. moved. lam surprsed that be should
speuk po hastily. The frog wa • rot removed, in
i s e/>t'.mber t but on the VnL day of Oe', b*r , the day
as er the election. Ou .Saturday the foreman ot
me Road informed m*, in presence of wit nesses,
tnat fie was ordered by Mr. BarroD, the Bupervi
sor, to remove the frog because it was d iiuag-d,
and wonli be immediately re placed. Irthi' smte
aieLt bad n -t beea made, the removal of ihe *rog
wo j.d hav beeu res ated st the time. It was up
on grcuud to which the £ta.e had no righr. Beve
rai days having elapsed, I wrote to euqa*re ot
Mr. Walker, whoo the frog wm to be rep'ac d, in
•rder tha: I might wri e to builders below, who
were clatiiorvus lor inn , as their workmen were
idle for want ot it. To ims civil aud natural en
quiry, 1 hive never received an answer. I met Mr.
tfsrron, accidently, some oays atier writing Mr.
W biker, and was informed by Mr. Barron, in an
swer to my enquiry, wnen the frog was to be re
plaoed, that no had received orders from Mr.
cooper, to csr.se the rail to be spiked down, which
wa* soon done.
This serious act was performed without one
word tome, or without ever an answer to my en
quiry.
Mr. Cooper is again in error ae to my making an
application to him to replace this switch. When
no answer was retu'ned to my oivil enqairv, self
respeat tor bade ai y farther application. I ahaii
lo- k to another quarter for redress.
I is to be hoped that Mr. Cooper will correct
the errors into which he has, I am constrained to
bel eve, inadvertently fallen. Tne errors are
these: “That kilDs have been copious
sources o# accident,** that Mr. Howsrd ‘*wb« in
formed that the frog would not be replaced at hi 6
kiln,” that ‘•appi.ca’-ions were received both
points for th* iregs to be replaced,” and that 4fc the
irog was removed before the eiecHon.”
Mr. Cooper ui sure’y uot in earnest in paying
that “ hen ji;> done to the kilns, is rather imagi
nary than rwd.” An imaginary injury, to becom
peded to move 120,000 barrels ot Lime at every
burning, wo an ar:icie which can
not be w&gened, except in dry weather. Ao
imaginary injury, whoily to atop the transporta
tion of Ume lor manure, and to reqaire the uurn
iug of it for mechanical purposes, to ba brought
| down to the ama lest possible sc ial I sincerely
trn t that Mr. Cooper may never be effected with
any sach **immgn.r? icjarv,” which shall cal
down at a blow the value of tir property by thou
sands,#* his act has done fer me and mine.
Very Respectfully, your ob’t serv*',

1 Jsnds. The >ahlln Fieemsu’s Journal laughs
at the alarm of the London Times, in relation to
the filibostero expeditions ia the United States,
and sfyj:
14 We have heard Dotting of the Filibustering
vagabondage which failed so miserably under
General L>pec, aud which the Time* says is once
more about to Attempt iheon qi f »‘. of tbe Qieen
cf Use Antilles. England's *t ffi uliy may now
prove, as It did before, America’s opportunity;
but certaiuly no great naval or » prepara
ticos have'b'3eu. or are now being made by the
Stales to give effect to thtir supposed hostility.”
Tte Journal, alluding to the rumored descent
upon Ireland, says;
“We read some mortis ago in the American pa
i and reao unions by Iriah inßQriec
tionary commiuees exhortingth*nr countrymen to
enrol tbtnatives in volamecr corps for the recon
quest ot Ireland. We paid no attention to such
demonstrations. Ardent minds, feeling for the
wrongs ol tteir country, may be allowed the most
fervent expression of sympa by tor a people with
whom they are connect© 1, many by tie * oi blood,
and all by identification with a c mm on country.
“We thought the ‘invasion 1 more a rhetorical
figure than a probub’e rea ity, but if the Times be
correct, the tn.ng is aotaady contemplated, and to
ibat end th /vigilance ot the t q tadron is anxious
ly d reeled. Acj t iug more utterly Lopeless thau
; uuh au expedition, is not wi bin the range of hu
mao imagination. We scarcely sav that on
this side ot the Atlantic there is no encouraging
eiemenr, and surely, before veuturiug on so h au
expsri mo t as !he in vasion ot a country three thou
sand milus distant, the prormters ot tbe undor
taking shou'd tcq-iaint tuemseives with the sen
liuiciutß and feelings of the invaded, without whose
ac iveco operation, iu the event of si: ni ng, every
man in thoexped.tion would be certain'y captured
or destroyed. Tne most sangu-ne syinpathi»ere
with tl© objects ot such au expedition in this
country would reprobate thou tmiptiu fac* of the
utter disconrageaient which mast await it. There
never was a time a hen the people were less d s
posed.to armed iQ£U r reoiion, and from the con
b .aut intercourse between Ireland and America,
the originators of this un dnesa—if it be anything
more than a dream—must havo discovered the
total absence ot any sympntby for such move
ment.”
Oca Relations with Great Britain. —The Nat
ional lute ligenaer of Tuesday says: We have
boon informed by a gentleman wuo has much fcet
ier opportunities than wo have fur acquiring a
kDOwltdgeof diplomat c secrets, that the later
from a “Fhiiadelpbig merebaut sojourning in Loi -
don,” which was transferred to our columns of
3 eslerday, is erroneoas i u its statement of a qurr
rcl having ccjnrrei “between the American Ad
ministration and Lord Fuimerstou’a Miuistr}”
in relation to the Central American Treaty. We are
told that thare has bien no harsh correspondence
ou that subject with the British Minister ol Foreign
Alfffrs, aud that our Government has made no
other “demands” thau each as it might properly
make, asking the British Government to state
definitely its con itruotions of the treaty, to which
it baa not yot replied. The inlimutioD, therefore
that there has been a rupture of relations is rot
well-founded; nor has there beeD, as wo are in
formed, any complication oi affairs that threatens
a rupture.
England and the United States. —The National
Intelligencer of Wednesday says: “In our brief par
ngraph ot yesterday roferrirg to recent correspon
denoa between the Government of the United
Btates and that ot Great Britain it was inadverten
tly stated that the latter bad not replied to the
request to make known definitely its construction
of the C ayton Bulwer Treaty. The reverse is the
fact. The British Government has made a reply,
agreeing to the c instruction of our Government
and submitting a different construction, bat leav
ing the question open for further negotiations.
The correspondence his not been angry or un
friendly in its tone on either side. Indeed, from
tho unbinity and courtesy which is known to
character;z3 the parties entrusted with it, no harsh
ness or diplomatic impropriety could havebien
expected.”
Black Republicanism. —The Richmond Dispatch
says:—This las and vilest of the isms seems to
havo met a mebt ignoble fate in New York. Gree

N ore lx and Portsmouth.— The Richmond
Despatch of Wednesday says : We learned from a
gentleman who reached this city Monday after
noon, that the fever has again appeared at Ports
mouth, and that thero were twenty one oases there
Sunday. The~e have been four deaths since Sat
urday, among them young Reynolds and Snead,
whose illness we mentioned yesterday.
Ho seys tho weather in Noilolk and Portsmouth
is camp and disagreeable, atd the very worst du
ring which oases of fevor con’d oocur. Tho Trans
cript oi yesterday dees not mention these facts,
but our information is perfectly reliable, and we
fear the sad news is too true. The Norfolk papers
mention no now cases c f fever there.
Health or Mobile. —The Advertiser of the 11th
says. We publish this morning tho official report
of the City Sexton of the interments during the
week ouding at 6 o’clock last evening. The
wholo number is but 19—three less than the
sum of the previous report. Among tne
number will be found ono by yellow fever, for
the appearance of which we are somewhat at a loss
to account. Tbe diseases and causes ot the deaths
are so various that no indication i 3 afforded of the
prevalence of any peculiar sickness, and it is
probable that the next week’s bill of health will
bs cleaner even than this. We append an
abstract from the report

i Foreign Immigration.— The Richmond Dispatch
says: The French Journal des Debats has a no
ticeab'e article upon the suhj?ct of European
emigration to the United States. It quotes its
statistics from the report of the English Commis-
Bionorß of Emigration from whic it appears that
from 1815 to 1854 the number of emigrants that
took shipping in tbe ports at the United Kingdom
was, in round numbers, four a quarter mil
lions, and that of that number nearly a million
and a half were comprised within the short space
of four yevre, ending with the cto9e of 1854.
SinOi 1851 there has been a regular decrease. It
appears that in that year the amount of emigration
to the United States sto'd in relative proportion
with that io Australia as 15 to 1 while in 1854 th;s
di-proportion was reduced to Bto 1. In the ten
moot! a of the present year, ending Blst
tbe number of arrivals at New York was only
119,420, against 288,551 to the same period of
18 r >4.
The French and English journals are making
great efforts to reduce even this dimin shed tide
cf emigration. Bot il Frenchmen will leave their
old homes, tbe Dobats recommends to them tbe
beautilol colony cf A'geria, vr&ielk it paints in the
most sedactive colors.
Forxion Ref uaxxs —The R cbmond Vis patch
says:—“The Governor of the island of Jersey,
(Grevt Britain,) has without.much legs!suthorit),

British Government. This summary proceeding
seems to have a'armed Koaautb, who. writing to
New York upon the eff.ir, says he has no donbt
'bat the Ministry will, at the next session, rccom

adopt the renewal of the Alien Bill, which, be

Imtoktant to TRX OH.pn.N6 i.NTxaxar. —Tha de
oree of tue French government allowing foreign
buiit vessels to be naturalized, aud to take tbe
French flag with all its privilege!, in the payment
of ten per cent, ou their aaseaaed value, it i.
ti ought will cause a good demand lor American
vessels. A Paris correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, says it will be a great opening for
American vessels ol 600 or 800 tons, and more es
pecially for steamers ot I,OCO to 1,200 tons, which
will be in great demand, and will meat with a
reedy sale. They have also admiral Umber, lum
ber, naval stores, Ac., tree of duty for tha an
suing three years. This will open a great market
tor ail these articles, and likewise give profitable
employment in their conveyance by onr vessels.

Sending Paupers West. —The Directors of the
Cincinnatti City Infirmary havo written a letter
to the May or ot New York, complainii g that the
authorities of that city are in the habit of send
ing foreign paupers to CincinnaUi. Toey say :
“We have almost weekly arrivals of batches of
from three to twelve paupers, who are sent hen
from your citv, and are landed amongst us without
money or friends, ma yof whom are s ; ck when
landed, whose expenses to this place are paid bv
the emigration societies of your city or by the o ’y
authorities themselves. These, if not sent b&ok,
would Boon become a public charge upon n s ; many
are in a sickly cond tion, and caunoi ho sent back,
others linger along for a while until they become
fa u etned upon us, and finally become a public
change tor li'e.”
To this the Mayor replies, that no transhipment
of paupers westward has been made by the auth
orities of Ndw York, and that they were doubtloss
forwarded to Cincinnatti direct from Earope. In
proof of this he says:
‘‘The Hamburgh ship from Ham
burgh, which arriv» d at this port on the 17th Sep
tember brought tiour criminals sent out- y the
order and at the expense of tho au’horities of
Gustrqw, Duchy of Mecfebnburg, direct from tho
prikeo at that plice. These rersons wars provided
with through tickets troua New York to Milwau
kie. tickets wero purchased from the
agents in Hamburgh. All tho priroipal forwarding
lines have agonoies in the leading European cities
for tbe sale of through tickets into the interior ot
this couutry. Thus you will see that tbe foreigu
emigrants shaded to by you may properly repro
sent themselves as from this ti y; t ey have
merely passed through « n routo from some work
house or poor house in other landi, and instead
of being s«nt by our own authorities have been
for ward :d even to your very doors by the inhumane
and inhospitable governors aud overceera of their

Disgraceful Riot —The Bath (Maine) TYibune
gives an account ot a most disgraceful roit, which
occurred in that city on Sunday, tbo day previous.
It uppea s that the Catholics attempted to lay the
corner stone of a new church but wore interrupted
by a mob which put a stop to the acts
cf violenca. The Tribune aays:
During the forenoon a wooden cross, which had
beou erected was forcibly pulled down, in
the afternoon an American fl ig was raised amid
the cheering of a c>m i lerubie number of persons
who show, d'hemselves hostile to the exercises
and the oocasion. Mr. Russell, acting Mayor, pull
od the flag down amid shouts of him out’’
and hi-ses. But ou his leaving it was again put up.
A rush Taeruade forthecoinerstone which had been
previously laid and several attempts made to re
it from its setting, which was prevented, an
we l-am, by tho exertions of Marshal Walker and
Mr. Coustab'e Leach, who kept the crowd at bay.
The Catholics, finding they would be oppo*ed in
their exercises, quietly withdrew aud lett the law
less mob in of the field. No attempt
that we hear of was made to arrest any of the dis
tuibjrs of the peuc up to four o’clock.
At abjut flv*. o’clock, the crowd, haviug ac
complished their 0' jßcts and prevented the relig
iouHexercises, gradually dispersed. Boeing the
temper ot the people, the Bishop sent word to his
parish that tho exercises would not be held.
We blush to think that in th’B city of churches
and law and order the Saboath should d>3
broken by auch scenes of lawlessness and violenca.
We are mortified that a tow low and irresponsible
persons should bo permitted to again blaokeu the
character ot ouro ty, and think themselves upheld
by a majority of its voters.
Americans in the Crimea.— The following para
graph, from tho Constantinople correspondent in
the Crimea, will be read with pleasure:— #
“Tho military commission, composed of Majors
Deiafloldaod Mordeoia, and Captain McCellaud,
arrive 1 here some
on up to the Crimea. These distinguished officer-)
were received here by the Ottoman min sters with
much kindness and courtesy, who offered every
facility lor the prosecution of their mission. They
have been provided with letters of recommenda
tions for the Turk sh Pashas commanding the
Saltan’s forces at Sebas'opol and Eupatoria. They
have also been given every possible facility by tbe
British government, and all will be received kind’y
by the tffijers in the Crimea. They have With
them all nccossary equipments lor encamping
i ear Goeral Simpson’s headquarters. It is not
known how far tne Frerch will be officially courte
ous to them. Mar y Armnoms, private individu
als, have boeu up to the Crimea to visit the won
derful fortifications made by the Kussian engi
and fcave all been treated with respect
and kindness. Whatever may be tbe feelings of
the French and English Government toward*
that of tbe United States, no bad one exist an ong
the officers of tbe form r against the private
cit z nsofthe latter. There is, however, a d*-
cid dly bad feeling growing up between Che
British and French office: s, which will soon break
oat into acts of aniiuosiiy.”
Short Skfsions—A Farmer’s Fpeeoh. —The
Cleveland (Ohio) Herald brings in a seasonable
anecdote, founded on a resolution for adjourn
ment in tbe Legislature of that State—a resolution
which is invariably foand to be a wasto of time.—
Tbe incident is related to show the excellent prac
tical sense of Mr. Leverett Johnson, a member of
the House:
“Tho inc dent occurred in the session of 1887—
’B3, Mr. Johnson tb in being a new member. Some
four weeks of tbe sesdon had ezpirod, when a
mem be* offered a resolution t- at the Legislature
nhoold adjourn some lime in the month of Febru
ary ensuing. The resolution elicited warm discus
sion, and had r>retty much used up a whole fore
noon, when Mr. Johnson rose for the first and
perhaps the only time. He said, in substanoe,
that he was a practical farmer ; that it w»s not
rustrmary for farmer* when they went into their
fluids to sit down upon the plough-tail and spend
the day in deciding •» ben they would go home;
but they set about their work, and when that was
dene they went home. He added that he thorght
the House had better follow tbe ex*mple of the
farmer, and do up their work an 1 then go home,
and not waste any more time in the preHeut use
leas discussion. These views met wild tbe entire
concurrence of the bTdy, and nothing more wan
said of going home until the business was done.”
The Loudon Defaulting Bankers —By the Pa
cific we learn that the tiial and condemnation of
tbe Lmdon bankers, Sir John Dean, Paul, Sira
ban and Bates, bad taken place. Tue trial lasted
two days. Their plea, under the cleave of the
bankruptcy act, that, having confessed their ap
propriation of the securities of their customers,
they were absolved from criminal proceedings, did
not avail them, aa such confession mast be ex
torted under examination, and not volunteered •
in addition to which, strange to say, their admis
sions referred only to securities dispo-ed of in
1855, which they bad purchased to replace those
stolen by them in 1854. The jury found them
guilty, and the Judge, Baron Anderson, with
rnuen emotion, passed sentence upon them. As
he said it was the worst case he could conceive
possible under tbe criminal act, so be awarded the
highest pena’ty, and therefore sentenced all the
prisoners to be transported for fourteen years.—
Tbe severity cf the sentence had crested a pro
found sensation.
Within a radius of five miles around Sebastopol,
it is supposed that more blood has been spitt, more

The consumption of wool in this country for the
years 1858 and 1854, was tb'Ut three hundred

and nineteen millions in mtnufactured good*. Is
it not apparent that by this system we are driving
tbe rrcductsof oui own country from ibe market,
