The Coo kfitntioiuii'Mt nm! Ourself.
The very dignified Edit rofthe Constitutionalist is
almost too nai h elevated on the stilts of hia own self
complacency, t* be M all approachable by common
men, but as lie has condescended to notice us, indi
rectly, and to -insinuate that our journal is not only
“careless, ” but “unscrupulous” in “making a
broad assertion,” but foolish enough at the same
t ime to “ fund, h the e v donee which proves it to be
false” we may be pardoned for this Feeble attempt
to fe'. t our j e]vea right, iu the matter at issue between
us. “ A cat may look tit a King,” therefore, dear
sir, allow an humble American to look you iu the
face, if we cannot liope to reach your superior,
judgment and under.danding.
The C nstitutionalist objects to our version of tho
following pas <agc in the Pr sident’s Letter to the
Connecticut Parsons:
“ The convention will soou a*?etable to perform
tho solemn duty of framing a Constitution for them
selvcs aud their posterity ; and in tho state of inci
pient rebellion which still exists in Kansas il is my
imperative duty to employ the troops of the United
States, should this become necessary, in defending
the a nventiou agau.qt violence whilst framing the
Constitution, and in protecting the “ bona fide in
habitants,’’ qualified to vote under the provision of
this iustiuuient, in the free exercise of the right of
suffrage, when it slant be submitted to them for their
{ve thought and still think that this Letter con
tains the odious dictriue of squatter sovereignty,
and that Mr. Buchanan has taken for granted what
his niau Walker has dictated must be done, to-wit—
that the nos the K&ik'as Convention
must be submi: all the * bona tide inhabitants*’
of the Territory Ye Kansas would not be ad
mitted into the fedeittcy of the States. The
Confetituiiona:: .ke that the phrase, “qualified
to vote under th, t orisiuns of this instrument' 1 in
the above extract, proves that Mr. Buchanan
meant only to say that the “residet-t cUieen&*\ quali
fied to vote by act of the Territorial Legislature,
should exercise that privilege and be protected iu
doing co, bv the military power of the country.
We think that this is a ‘ar latched inference. It*
Mr. Buchanan did not intend to intervene his Execu
tive it dim nee in tins matter, why mention it at all
just in time to influence tlie Convention ? Herein
is e, eu the “cloven foot” of Executive interference,
which uso dangerous to the South. As the Charles
ton Courier well fays, on this very point, “Cou.ing
from the President of the United States, the disj
penser of stars and garters and the holder of the
\< to power, thi j uuicuuts to dictasiou to the Con
vention of Kansas. W’hat light had Mr.-Bucba an
to Ufee private language, iu reference to an uucer
taiu event, to a hypothetical case } What right or
warrant had he to say. 4 When it (the Constitution
of Kansas! shall be submitted to them (the people
of Kansas’ for their approbation?’ It is obvious

We have frequency, aud fruitlessly, called upon (
our friends of the Democratic press, to name for j
our special information, just oue of “those great
Democratic principles” that are to be upheld by
the election of Seward, Brown, or any other of their
nominees tor office. They have failed not only to
,do it, but even to attempt it. Why then should the
people support your party and its nominees in pref-
I erecce to anybody else ?
The Columbus Comer Stone, a thorough going
I Democratic paper, takes up tbe subject, and in re
ply to an editor who twite it upon its support of
the A meric n candidate for Congress in the secoud
District, thus arraigns the hypocritical prentensions
<*f the party now Et>ling itself “Democratic:’* —
Savh. Hep.
The Empire State says : “We have had occasion
to remark before, that we have for years been
taught too look upon the editor of the Corner Stone
as a Demo *rat. somewhat erratic, however, but
neve; the less, and j voted U> those great tuodamentai
principles which distinguish the Democratic party
from its opponents. But this last summerset leaves
us in a slate of absolute bewilderment
Now, we have frequently endeavored to get th
Empire State to poiut oat what those *B re f£ P n “*
C i qes ’ are. but heretofore we have tailed. v\ e wid
her- enter upon a confessional; perhaps that wi l
draw him out, and chow wherein the difference be
teen us consists. In the first place, we are in fa
yoroi a strict construction of the Cci.stution in re
ference to the powers of the General Government.
We hold that, under tbe Constitution, the Govern
merit has no power tn make internal improvements.
The DemocT iiic party used to hold *h & f opinion—
Hues it do it now ? Mr. Buchanan is in favor of
building the Pacific Railroad —is he the exponent
of the Democratic creed ? Last Congress the De
mocratic party, having a large majority iuthe Sen
ate, passed seventy bills appropriating money for
internal iniproY eoients—was that Democratic ?
Mr. Pierce vetoed a!l these bills—was that Demo
cratic* We think i‘ was. Three of those bills
were passed over the veto. In that Democratic
Senate there were only 8 votes against one of the
I bill-*. Which was the Democrat, Pierce or the
Senate? It is true, the Democrats did not all vote
fur those bills, but they got _out of the way and let
them pass : and in our opinion, it Yvas done by ar
rangement. li. was an outrageous and indefensible
sacrafice of the professed principles of the party, and
of the rights of the people; and yet, the Democratic
pre-s of the South, and particularly of Georgia, ad
ministered no rebuke to those faithless steYvards. Is
this Democratic ?
We ae opposed to the system of giving away the
public lands, or to any appropriation of them except
lor the general use of all concerned. This used to
be Democratic doctrine, but of late years, the De
mocratic party has been going farther in that direc
tion than the old Federal party, under any of its
names or forms, La* ever dared to attempt to go.—
Is that Democratic?
Will the Empire State just tell us what are the
great fundamental principles which distinguish the
Democratic party from its opponents, and then tell
us what p<irt of the Democratic party stands up to
and supports them I When hejhas done this, it wll
be time to talk about summersets.
Distressing Calamity—Five Lives Lost.—
A letter in the Boston Journal states that on Tues
day morning, the loth lust., Capt. Jeremiah Thurlow
started in an open boat from N. W. Harbor of Deer
I land, Me., accompanied by Edward Beal, ot Ells
worth. Me., together with the daughter (her name
not remembered) and two grand daughters, Sarah
and KUen Jordan, of Capt. T. The daughter and
Sarah were young ladies, and Helen about twelve
yea 1 , sos age. Subsequently they took on board two
. trange gentlemen, but the boat had not proceeded
far before a flaw of wind capsized her. The letter
continues:
Capt Beal was sitting forward with Helen, whom
he caught as they went under the foresail. When
Beal came to the surface, the boat was lying on her
Ijeam ends, and no person except himself and Helen
ir. sight. He first saw Capt. Thurlow and daughter
rise, he supported her, and next the elder of the
strangers, who set amidships supporting Sarah. The
younger of the strangers was never seen after the
boat capsized. They succeeded in getting to the
boat, to which each of the men clung as best fle
couid, each supporting cue of the girls. The wind
was now blowing almost a hurricane, and of couise
there could be but little conversation between
them. The first word spoken was by Capt. Thur
low He said: “Beal don’t get scared; save that
girl!” “I am not scared; lam bound to save her,
or we will both go down together,” was the reply of
Beal.
Half an hour af er the disaster, the boat turned
bottom up, when all wore washed off and sunk.—
Capt. B. come to windward, tlie stranger to leeward
and Capt. T. astern, each still supporting his pre
cious burden. After once more reaching the boat,
Capt. Thurlow repeated his entreariesto tho others
not to be frightened, and to save the girls. The
stranger made no reply, but indicated by his actions
that, although much exhausted, he had not thought
of abandoning his charge. During the next half
hour they w ere repeatedly washed off from the boat,
and as often got back to it again Then a heavy
sea washed them cII and all sunk. Capt. Beal came
up to leeward, and Cap. Thurlow to windward, but
the stranger and Sarah never rose again.
This time Capt. Thurlow was unable to speak,
but waved his hand to Capt. Beal to persevere
About an hour aud a half after the boat capsized
Capt. Thurlow became utterly exhausted, and the
last Cap! Beal saw of him his fingers gradually slip
off the boat, and, with his daughther still clinging
around his neck, he sunk to rise no more.
When they went down, little Helen said, “Grand
pa has gone, and so has aunt!” “Well, don’t cry,
dear,” -aid Capt. Beal, “and let go my hand.” After
this, Capt Beal and the young girl remained in the
water another hour, making two and a half hours
from the time of the disa-ter. He was ft. last pick
ed up by C .pt. Geo. Bouesey, of the schooner Spar
tan, both belonging in Ellsworth.
Commercial Credit.—The Journal of Com
merce remarks: Whefi the strongest houses find
themselves embarrassed, and many who have main
tained a high character are obliged to suspend,
there ie danger yield to the prevailing
epidemic, who miglf have stood by making great
er efforts. Nothing but the sternest necessity can
justify a suspension wliftre there are sufficient a?-
seta to meet every liability. Every man should look
his position fully in the face. If he is insolvent, if
his liabilities are greater than or equal to his assets
and his affairs are growing worse, lie should stop at
once, and make an equal division of his property.—
But if he is solvent, if his balance is largely on the
right side, and the alternative of suspension is no
longer a question cf final payment, but of great
present pecuniary sacrifice, he should goon at any
erst short of risking his means, :o pay in full. A
man of large property Las no right to shut down
upon his creditors because he rfianuot pay without
ni..lung heavy sacrifices. lie is bound to pay at
all hazards as long as he can leave enough to pay in
full. Instead of this, we remember that during a
severe pressure in some former years, several
wealthy houses uispeuded, with a large surplus of
assets, leaving themselves a fortune after they had
wound up their affairs at their leisure, w hile some
weaker houses, who would have kept on but for
tliis unexpected ot slacle, wore swept away never
to rise to egaiu. As long as auy man Las enough
property to pay his debts, he should pay each when
it is due, and not yield to the temptations which
whispers that by a temporary suspension lie can sit
on his haunches until the storm goes by, and then
recover his position with less loss to hie estate.
Later from El Paso. —The San Antonio Ledger
has a letter dated El Paso, August 25, from which
Yve extract the following intelligence :
The campaign agaiust the Indians is ended, some
of the officers have already returned, and the com
panies arc only awaiting transportation to march
for their old quarters. Two engagements took
place, in both of which the Indians were badly
neaten, having lost some fifty killed and thirty pris
oners, with all their camp equipment. The Indians,
to the number of nine hunred, are at Janos, near
the boundary line betYveen the United States and
Mexico, receiving weekly rations from the State of
Chihuahua, and driving a brisk trade iu mules and
horses stolen from New Mexico and Texas. From
information received, their stock in trade, at last
accounts, was getting low, which accounts for the
depredations since the withdrawal of the troops
from the field ; several heads of mules and horses
have been taken off from tho neighboring towns
within the last week, and now we have just heard
that Col. Magoffin’s mules to the number of forty,
were taken Last night, from near El Paso, on the
Mexican side of the river. The people of our neigh
boring town of Guadalups followed and overtook a
party of Indians last we* k. killed three,and brought
iu seven prisoners, women and children.
We lmve had a fine rain within the last two
Yveeks, which secures us au abundant corn crop :
the wheat has also yielded finely, aud is noiv al
most a drug in the market—it is supposed that 10,-
000 fanegas are for sale at this moment in the val
ley, while wheat is brought from tho interior of
Mexico, 100 miles, to be made into flour for the U.
S. troops, at an expense of from sixteen to thirty
three cents per pound, to the United States, when
our own raised wheat, could be made into flour and
sold at from eight to ten cents, and leaving a fine
profit to the contractor.
Melancholy Accident.—We take the follow
ing from the Evening News of Saturday :
Robert Bowie, a young man about twenty-four
years of age. a clerk in the wholesale drygoods
.-tore of J. 8. & L. Bowie, corner of Meeting aud
Ha-eil streets, fell, sometime during last night, from
the third story window of his sleeping apartment
over the store, aud was takeu up dead from the
pavement this morning. Having been at work in
the store till a late hour at night, it is supposed that
he took a seat iu the window for the purpose per
haps, of smoking a segar before retiring, and being
pretty much exhausted from loss of sleep and close
and continued at ten'ion to business, which is re
qu red of those engaged iu the wholesale trade at
this season, he accidentally fell asleep, and losing
his balance, tel: upon the* stone pavement anderush
ed his bead so that death must hnve eusued in a few
minutes.
Ite was a young man of steady habits and high
moral aud social qualities, aud wa? beloved and
esteemed by all who knew him. His untimely
death will be lamented by a large circle of friends
aud acquaintances.
It may also be stated, in confirmation of the sup
position recorded by our cotemporary, that the Win
dows of the room occupied by the young man de
scended to. th© floor. His funeral took place yes
terday morning.— Char. Courier.
Later from Texas. —The Indi&nolian, cf the
Idth, has the following;
Mr. Oswald, t'.e editor of the Stoats Zeiiung. of
San Antonio, informs us that c onsiderable excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood of that city,
caused by an alt vok made on Saturday last by a
party ot Americans upm a detachment of tbe Gov
ernment train. from this port, under command of
Mr Tobin. It appears that seventeen carts, driven
by Mexicans, h&u reached the Cibolo in advance of
the balance of the train, when they were suddenly
assaulted by about thirty men, whose faces were
b:ac ked. The major dome of the train, an old Mexi
can, who had been with Jackson at the battle of
New Orleans, named Antonio Delgado, received a
idiot from the assailants. He returned the fire, end
killed oue of the a*snuking party ; but immediately
dropped dead himself. A general battle then took
place—the Mexicans attacking the Americans with
kxes, hatchets. Ac —fought heroically—and finally
drove them off. A young Mexican named Valdes,
an i Lis *wo brothers, were wounded. Three bails
were subst quently taken from his body, in ban An
tonio.
When the news reached San Antonio, it caused
great excitement. Twenty regular soldiers were
tent out under command of the Siier.ff—with or
ders, however, not to go beyond the limits of the
©Gantry —while Meters. Howard Wilcox went in
oowmard of about sixty volunteers in search of the
party which had attacked the train. No news of
any further renc ontres or violence had reached San
Antouioup to Sunday evening.
Why Sr ain Suspended Hostilities with
Mexico.—The Paris correspondent of the London
Tunes, speaking of the suspension ts ali hostile pro
ceedings by Mexico against Spain, sa\s it wasaoue
through the intervention of France and England,
which powers threatened to leave Spain to the con
sequences o her precipitation; that one of ihese
consequences was the * rear danger of the United
State > interfering in behalf of M exitaud endanger
ing Cubu. He says Spain’s plan was to light up ‘
civil war in Mexico, and to reinstate Santa Anna in
tbe Presidential chair. Communications had been
opened with him, and agents of his had arrived at
Madrid. In the background, and contingent on
many cicumstances, was a plan mooted and discussed
n Spain, of converting Mexico nto a monarchy,
j with a Spanish Bournon on the throne. Such a
j 90 65 l^e writer adds, could it be realized
woma be the commencement of civil war. and
i probably have the effect of throwing Mexico
into th, aria ol U Stales. y ait e probable I
‘ h wc her wisdom in letting Mexico
a.tme 1 uere is no guarantee &Le could get from
• France ana England which would have saved
Cuba, in tbe event of a war between her and Mexi

The Atrocities in India. —Letters continue to
be received from the Rev. Dr. Duff, tbe well known |
missionary in India: and though not of late date, ’
they supply some painful incidents connected with :
the mutiny. We make extracts:
July 2 —At an early hour of this deplorable re
bellion I was led—from the analogy of the \ eilore
mutiny, a3 well as various minute circumstances
which had cooie within my own cognizance—to in
fer that the cartridge affair and its alleged caste
breaking te denciee were a mere shallow but plausi
ble pretext in the hands of evil minded designing
men, and that the real originating cause ot the whole
mischief would be found of a purely political char
acter. To this persuasion I gave free expression at
a time when few were prepared to entertain it.
Every dia -loeure, bowe\*er. which of late has been
made, goes to demonstrate that it has been the re
sult of a long concocted Mohammedan conspiracy
against the supremacy and rule of Great Britain in
India.
Information received from arrested ppies arc pa
pers found in their possession serves to implicate the
ex-Kiu x of Oude, and especially his Prime Minister
the Nawab Ali Nukhi Khan—one of thecleYrerest
and widest of Asiatic intriguers. Indeed, it is said
that since his imprisonment in Fort William, the lat
ter openly avows that be had a principal share in
contriving and working out the deeply laid plot, and
that he glories in Laving done so. adding that he
has woven a web around the British Government
which it will not disentangle for many a day.
Tu ail appearance the titular Emperor of Delhi
and m-■ tubers of Lis family have also been deeply
implicated in the dark and foul conspiracy. Iu
time the Yvhole truth may gradually be unfolded.
Meanwhile, gleams of light, like the following, shoot
cut upon the subject. Au officer who escaped from
Fyzabad states that, in a conversation with the
s&badar of his own regiment, the latter said, “as
you are going away forever, I will tell you all about
our plans. We halt at Fyzabad five days, and
march via Darriabad upon Lucknow, where we ex
pect to be joined by the people of the city. Pro
clamations have been received from the King of
Delhi, informing all that he is once more on the
throne ot Lid fathers, aud calling on the whole array
to join his standard. Rajah Maun Sing has been
appointed commander-in-.-hies in Oude.” The sab
adar farther added, “You English have been a long
time iu India, but you know little of ns. We have
nothing to do with Wajid Ali (the ex-King of Oude)
or any of his relations. The kings of Lucknow were
made by you; the only ruler in India empowered to
S’ve sunnods (titles of kingship) is the Emperor of
lki; he never made a king of Oude, and it is from
him only that we shall receive our orders ”
July 3.—Already some of the fugitives of the
northwest have arrived in Calcutta; and their oral
accounts more than confirm the distressing accounts
which from time to time have appeared in our pub
.ic journals. Toe condition of the northwest is, ac
cording to the testimony of these respectable eye
witnesses, beyond measure deplorable. It seems
to be oue universal scene of violence, depredation,
and plunder—no government, with its wholesome
restraints, anywhere—no administration of justice—
n control of police authority—no collection of
revenue—no traffic—no buying or eelling—every
mans nand up-lifted against his neighbor—might
being right, the strongest is tor the moment the
sovereign power.
An eye witness to the brutal conduct of the muti
nous sepoy s at Allahabad, who himself had a nar
row escape from their ruthless hands, thus writes: —
“ A next door Eugli&h neighbor of mine was visited
one night by a gang of upward of two dozen se
poys, tully equipped with destructive arms. On the
hue and cry being giYen, I went up to the terrace
cf my houte, aud saw with my own eyes the rascals
cutting into two au infant boy of two or three years
of age. while playing \Gtli his mother; next, they
backed into pieces tbe lady; and £ubs< quently, most
shockingly and horribly the husband.” The writer
made his escape by a back door, aud, by means of
a bamboo, he mauaged to cross the Ganges, aud
make Lis way through multiplied difficulties to Be
nares.
At one of the stations, a lady, in panic terror, had
hidden herself iu an obscure corner of the house.—
Through a chinck or crevice iu the partition she saw
the bleeding head of oue of her children rolled 03 a
ball across the floor; and on emerging from her hid
ing place beheld the fragments of another scatter
ei about her!
An officer and his wife were attacked by many
soYvare, or mutineers of native cavalry. The brave
officer singly shot dead seven of them on the spot,
and at last was overcome by a number of the rebels.
luslead, however, of ailoYving himself to be dia
graced by the scoundrels, under the pressure of the
awful emergency, he first killed his wife, and then
pat an end to his own life.
A small party of gentlemen, with a young lady
lately resident iu Calcutta, and well known to some
of us, effected their escape to an isolated house,
where they were hard pressed by the ferocious mu
tineers. Iu case of their being eventually over
powered by numbers, they entered into a mutual
though dismal agreement, to kill the lady to save
her from tlie brutal outrages of tbe murderers, aud
then to sell their own lives as dearly as they could.
Cotton Osnaburgs.—The Columbia Mills have
adY r anctd the price of osnaburgs to I3£ cents. The
high price of cotton, and comparative low price of
cotton goods, has caused the stoppage of more than
one half of the Northern factories, aud many at the
South. Within the last week we learn the stoppage
of three ‘factories in Georgia, Yvhioli prefer to close
rather than run at heavy loss. One of the chief
causes of the low price of domestics is, that many
merchants make them a leading article, and iu or
der to assist the sale of other goods, sell them
below uost, expecting to make up the loss by rais
ing on the price of other goods, the true value of
which is not so well known to the buyer. This
policy is calculated on the ignoiance gullibility (so
to speak) of their customers, and operates verv un
justly to the manufacturer. We recollect ouce hear
ing a story that would illustrate lo consumers how
much they save by buying goods of these undersel
ling merchants.
A Yankee sea captain was at the port ol Malta,
and on his return home submitted his aocounU to
the ship agents, who objected tosomeof tbe items;
among the rest, to sundry charges, viz ; Jackass
Cl —Jackses £ l —which Yvas accounted for by the
fact that when in Malta the captain frequently re
l:e zed the monotony of ship life by the pleasant
exercise of evening rides—the ecst of which he in
cluded in hi3 bill. On objection being made to
these by the agent, the captain said he would strike
them out and make out anew bill. This he did,
but for every jackass struck out, he put in one bail
sail cloth £l, or so many pounds of rope £l. On
presenting his bill the second time, it was approved.
On telling of it afierwards, our honest captain said
that tne jackass was there still , only they could not
see him.
Thus it is with those who purchase of cheap men,
who make a scape-goat of leading goods. Many of
our country friends who visit the city aud purchase
silk dresses and cotton osnaburgs will find, by look
ing closely into their bill, that “the jackass is still
there, 1 ’ though they de not see him.
We hope that hereafter our merchants here will
not give reasons for this complaint to be made. The
Columbia mills are the only ones in the State manu
facturing osnaburgs. They have expended a large
amount (upwards of $ 10,1)00 since their purchase
in improving and adding new machinery, and
certainly deserve sup port. Whilst cotton has adY ranc
ed fifty per cent, within tli ‘ last year, cotton goods
have advanced but twenty-five per cent. — South
Carolinian.
The Assassination of the British Charge at
Lima —lt has alreadj’ been stated that the Hon. S.
11. Sullivan, the British Minister at Lima, in Peru,
had been assassinated by some unknoYvn person.—
It appears that Mr. S3, was, at the tifie, sitting down
to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Cheeseman. The as
sassin entered the dining room abruptly, aud, en
countering Mr. Sullivan, discharged a blunderbuss
directly in the groin, and saying, “now I am re
venged,” made his escape. He had several com
panions on the outside. The off iir created the great
est excitement throughout the city, and the military
and police Yvere immediately ordered to search for
the assassin, for whose arrest a reward of $3,000
was offered. Mr. S was still alive at la-t accounts,
but could not possibly survive.— Balt. Sun.
A letter says: It is now reported that the act was
committed by some of the most respectable persons
in Lima. However. I will give you.the rumor. It
appears, a short time ago a ball w.s given by one
of the leading families iu Lima, and Mr. Sullivan took
there a well known prostitute that lie has kept a
long time as his mistress; tbe gentlemen present
remonstrated with him, calling his attention to the
fact that it Yvas a gross insult to all persons present,
to which he is said to have replied that she Yvas as
good as any woman present or in Lima, and that
they were all a set ot prostitutes.
Toombs a Modern Abraham!—Mr. Toombs,
proposition to throw his arms wide open and em
brace foreign paupers and felons in his bosom re
minds us of the parable of Dives and Lazarus, in
which old Abraham is represented as enfolding
Lazarus in his bosom, to the astonish and vision of
Dives! Bobuelsets himself up as even more chari
table than Abraham, because he is not pnly willing
to take the virtuous and diseased pauper and beg
gir. but the vicious and abandoned—the co:rupt
and defiled—the whole abominable filth of wretched
Europe, euf Id them in the arms of his political faith,
and take them to his bosom in affectionate regard!
W e are glad to hear that the respectable foreign
population amongst us, repudiate this degradation
of their own position as adopted citizens, and utter

Melancholy Suicide.—On last Monday, at
about sun down, Vv illiam Henry Hora, the only son
of William llora. ot this place, committed 6uicide,
by shooting himself through the brain, with a pistol.
He breathed only about half an hour after the fatal
act was done.
lie was a young man of fine prospects, baa only
graduated last we belie \*e, aud was iu busi
ness with his father, lie was surrounded with every
thing that could make life desirable, was strickly
moral, and upright, and exemplary in the walks of
life, and was the do! of his family. Nothithstanding
for som© weeks back he had been subject to seasons
of great despondency and gloom, and secluded him
self from society. On Monday, however, he was
more cheerful than he had been, and for a brief
fepace of lime was left alone >n the house, his mother
having gone up town. While she was absent he
committed the melancholy deed.
lie appears to have gone about it very deliber
ately, and some circumstances tend to the conelu
. ion that he had reflected on it for some days.—

NegroSi eali.no. —A man, bearing the name of
George Nowell, who, we understand, has been for
several months living iu different parts of Russell
County, Alabama, was arrested at Opelika on
Wednesday, on the charge of negro stealing. The
circumstances, as we learned them, are as follows:
On Wednesday last he had in possession at Opelika
a negro fellow, from description, recognized as the
property ol Judge John Brown, of Russell county,
who was at the time absent from home without the
master's leave. The negro, discovering his attempt
to sell him, escaped from him, whereupon Nowell at
tempted to get dogs to overhaul him. This elicited
inquiry as to who Nowell was, when be was recog
nized, and the public became satisfied he had no
claims to the negro, aud was arrested. The case
was investigated before Magistrates, and Nowell
was committed for a further hearing at the approach
ing term of the Circuit Court, to convene next
week. The negro is still at large.
Nowell is a rati\*eof Ohio, and is believed to be
one of an underground Railroad party. His inten
tion was, no doubt, to sell the boy and steal him
again, when they would have proceeded .being in
funds) on their way to the iana where all the bad
negroes go. —Columlais Sun.
A New Invention—Railway Stati n Indi
cator —At the office of Mr. H. G. Wilson may be
seen a very ingenious, yei simple contrivance, re
cently got up by Mr. C. J. Smith, formerly of this
city, but now of Waukesha Cos., which be calls a J
Railway Station Indicator. It is of course a matter j
■if great convenience to travelers te know what
station they are approaching, and the practice has
generally been for the conductor to open the door
of the ears and call out the name; and, the cars be
ing in motion, in a very few cases is the name dis
tinctly heard. Mr. Smith's invention consists of a
small box. placed within the car. containing a cy
| finder in winch is painted tbe names ol the station,
ard having a be 1. and a wire leading to a handle
uiaide of the car. On approacLing a station, the
brakesman pulls the wire, tne bell is struck and the
c> finder revolves once, exhibiting the name of the
fetation.
It is aver}- ingenious affair, and a caveat has
been sited at Washington by the inventor.— Ahl-

Slate Road Prinlinff.
The article under this head, which we copy from
the Atlanta American , should b° read by every
voter. It is an apt illustration of the general man
agement ot that road in ali its departments. Par
tizans and favorites must be rewarded with fat jobs
and contracts, and thus the people's money is squan
dered from year to year, to compensate them for
partiz an services. It is no wonder, then, that the
road only pays a dividend of one per cent, while
other roads in the State, not so favorably lecated,
pay rct to ten per cent, pei annum. These facts
should open the eyes of the people to the impor
tance, nay positive necessity for the sale of at least
two-thirds of the road. Were this done we hazzard
nothing in saying, the State would derive a larger
revenue from tbe remaining third, under proper
management, such as it would have iu the hands of
a private company, than it now receives from the
whole road. We felt confident when we saw the
official report of the amount paid for printing by the
road, that there was “something rotten in Den
mark,” aud the develop meats in the article of the
American conclusively establish the correctness of
that opinion. Let the people read it aud decide for
themselves. The property is their s, and if they
determine to let it be thus managed for the future,
the fault is their’s, because they have the power,
and it i3 their duty to correct the evil.
The Monetary Crisis at the North.
Late yesterday afternoon we received the fol
lowing Telegraphic dispatch from Philadelphia, an
nouncing the suspension of the Bank of Pennsylva
nia, and the refusal of the Gerard Bank to pay de
positor’s checks:
Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—The Bank of Pennsyl
vania has suspended specie payments iu conse
quence of a heavy run.
There is a general alarm aa to the solvency of all*
the Banks
The Gerard Bank has temporarily refused to pay
depositor’s checks.
Business is nearly suspended in consequence of
the panic.
When, some weeks since, the first heavy failures
were aunOunced among'the stockjobbers, and oth
ers who had over traded, we indulged the hope that
the tightness in monetary affairs at the North would,
ere this, have passed away ; but the almost daily
announcement of heavy failures, established the
fact, that the disease was more deeply seated and
virulent than we had supposed. And now, tbe in
telligence of the suspension of these two banks, both
institutions of high character and extensive credit,
presses upon us the reluctant conviction,, that
the panic has not yet reached its greatest height;
and that it is destined to go on, involving other in
stitutions and individuals to an alarming and even
more disastrous extent., Oue of the worst features
in this sad intelligence, is the wßnt of confidence in
the soundness of tho banks—which, if it become
general, will result most disastrously to all classes at
the North, andaffeot, to some extent, sot a brief pe
riod, the monetary affairs of the South.
The first question which suggests itself to the
minds of ail intelligent men is, what effect will th ; s
monetary crisis at the North produce at the South?
This is a question more easily asked than answerod
satisfactorily. Yet, we think the South has litilo to
apprehend, indeed nothing, save a temporary em
barrassment and stringency in monetary matters.—
Our reasons for this opinion are satisfactory to our
own mind, aud Yve shall express them briefly.
The South was never in a better condition to re
sist the effects ot a monetary panic, because she has
net overtraded, is not therefore in debt, and tho
circalal ion of her legitimate Banks was never so
small at this season of the year. They are conse
quently sound, and deserve the highest confidence
of the people. In addition to this, we are already
realizing the proceeds of the largest crop of Wheat
ever grown in the Southern States, which of itself,
is no inconsiderable item; aud we are just begin*
ning to avail ourselves of the proceeds of the Cotton
and Sugar crops, perhaps by far the most valuable
ever grown. Ileuce the resources of the South, the
pi e ent yaer, must be larger by many millions, (pro
bi 1 ‘y ‘'fty to one hundred) than ever before known.
T i e facts induce ua to believe that the South will
cer ai ly bo in better condition monetarily, than at
any f rmer period in her history ; whatever may bo
the pressure resulting from overtrading and specu
lation at the North.
It is true, as in all other monetary panics, we
may be sympnthically affected for a short period.,
but with proper caution that can only be of limited
duration, and may for a time affect the price of our
great staples; because of the difficulty of making
negotiations. This we think very probable, nay
almost certain, but we are equally confident it
only be temporary. And e\*en against this, we may
protect ourselves to a very great extent, by holding
back our cotton, for a brief period, till the necessary
arrangements can be made for its purchase. The
planters therefore, have this matter in their own hands
and may control it. It i3 now quite certain, that tbe
crop cannot be large, and that Europe will require
it all, as rapidly and even more rapidly than she can
get it. Tlie prospect is, therefore, that prices will
rule high—higher than any season for many years.
It is, therefore, a matter of the highest consideration
that the planters ehould combine to protect them
selves and the whole South, against the consequen
ces of forcing their staple rapidly upon the market,
and thereby depressing the price.
These are our views very briefly and hurriedly
expressed, and Yve submit them for what they are
worth, with an abid ng confidence in their correct
ness in the main.
Fifth C'ontfrpsuioniil DfMtrlct.
Judge John W. Hooter, of Cassville, has pub
lished au address to the voters of the Fifth Con
gressional District, declaring himself an indepen
dent Democratic candidate, for Congress, in opposi
tion to Judge Wright, the nominee of a conven
tion. Judge H. charges that the nomination of
Wright was the result of intrigue and bargain,
hence he opposes him. W'e give the concluding
passages of the address:
“If nominations fraudulently made are to be rati
fled by tlie people, and the tyranny of party disci
pline is suen that the rights of freemen are to be
sacrificed to the unholy purpose ot maintaining par
ty drill—if the Democratic party is in fact so lost to
all noble influences, it cannot be held together even
by the “cohesive power of public plunder.”
“Having discharged my duty. lam content. I
do not wish the vote of any man whose standard of
morality recognizes the authority of nominations in
conventions by intrigue and management—not to
say bargain raid sale. I must add I feel the most
sovereign contempt for the man who has no higher
amb tion than the success of a party, and if party
success is to be secured by the sacrifice of principle,
l cannot be such a partisan.”
John W. Hoofer.
Cassville, Sept. 19th, 1857.
Defalcations.—We learned yesterday that W.
11. Bart less, Teller in the Southwestern Railroad
Bar.k, at Charleston, had proved a defaulter in the
sum of $60,000. He has left the city. Mr. Mil
ler. a Teller in the Bank of the State, also at
Charleston, we learn, is a defaulter to the amount
of $20,000.
Since writing the above, we have been informed
that Mr. Bart less has been arrested in Wilming
ton, N. C., and a large portion ($53,000) recovered.
Sharp Financiering.—The New York Express
p&ys that some of the late failures by produce houses
have placed several ship owners in an awkward pre
dicament. It appears that in thretf cases bills of la.
ding have been signed in advance of the receipt of
goods on board, upon recei v ing the check of a par
ty of supposed solvency as security.
The gi\*er of the check failed before the pro. i
duce came to hand. The bills of lading have been !
used as security for exchange, leaving the ship in {
the lurch.
This is anew mode of financiering, but as neces
sity is the mother of invention, we expect tbe present
tightness in the money market will bring out latent
genius in the way of raising the wind.
Death of a Revolutionary Soldier—Wt.
Vaughn, the last Revolutionary soldier resident in
Sumter District, S. C , died on Monday last. He
was born in May, 1764, and was therefore in his
ninety-fourth year.
Gloomt Prospect.— The -New York Tribune
predicts that by the first or middle of next Decem
ber, at least one hundred thousand persona in the
city of New York will be out of employment and
nearly out of means. The ship yard* in New \ ork
are nearly idle, the foundries but half working, and
the great clothing stores doing very little. It is
stated that women come to New York from places
hundred miles away in quest of work from the
clothing etoree, only to be turned off with none and
compelled to beg their way home again. The Tri
bune adds that piacee have looked for servant girls
for some time past; soon servant girls will look
earnestly for places, and be very glad to and them.
It is predicted that soup houses for hungry laborers
who can find no labor will be wanted before Janu
ary The Journal of Commerce is of opinion tha*
hardly, since 1837, bas’so gloomy a prospect for
winter lowered upon the laboring classes of New
York.
A Treasury circular has been issued, reducing the
premium to be paid on the Ist of November upon
the redemption stocks of the loan cf 1847 and 1848
from sixteen to fourteen per cent., on the loan of
1842, from ten to eight per cent., i*.nd on the Texas
stock of 1857, to five per cent.
“Stealing Judge Brown’s Thunder.”
Judge Brown has become such an “artful dodg
er” on all questions connected with the present can
vass, that he charges Hill with stealing his thun
der. In his speech at Home, he is reported to have
said :
“Mr. Hill had stolen his thunder—that he (Brown)
at the discussion at Newnan had first used the argu
ment for and proposed the establishment of a com
mon system wiib the proceeds of the sale of the
State Rad. Ii there still remained any funds, to
set t apart, that the interest arising from it might
be a; pr.ed to reduce the taxes of the people ; or,
‘et r*ueii_ remaining fund be used to assist in Wilding
t hr r railroads in different portions of the State.
We quote from the Augusta Constitutionalist.
Tnis is certainly a very unfortunate declaration,
and subiects him to the charge either of artful
dodging, unscrapulousness, or of having a very
convenient memory. The platform adopted by the
Convention which nominated Mr. Hill, contains
the following clause, which Judge Brown, no doubt,
had pasted in his book, when he made his speech at
Newnan:
“We favor a change in the administration of the
State Railroad, by taking it out of the hands of the
Governor, and if need be, by a sale of two thirds,
or the whole of it, to private parties. In the latter
event the fund thus raised, after the payment of the
public debt, could be disposed of in either of the
three following ways : The education of the children
of the State, the reduction of the taxes of the peo
ple, or in affording aid in the construction of roads
in other portions of the State.”
This is, to our miud, quite conclusive, as to who
originated the thunder, and it behooves Judge
Brown to account for how he oame by it, and by
whom the theft was perpetrated.
South Carolina Banks all Right*
We are indebted to Mr.T. S. Metcalf, the Presi
dent of the Mechanics’ Bank in this city, for the
following telegraphic despatch received yesterday
and dated,
Charleston, Sept. 28,1857.
T. S. Metcalf President. —Our city and coun
try Banks are all right. The question of suspension
will not be entertained.
H. W. Connor & Cos.
Fire in Savannah.— The Savannah Republican
of yesterday says :—A fire broke out about five
o'clock, Saturday morning, in the double two-story
wooden tenement building, corner Liberty and
Abercorn streets—the first tenement owned by A.
A. Smets and occupied by Thomas G. Pond, the
second owned and occupied by G. S. Frierson. It
originated in Mr. Pond’s apartment, and the flames
spread so rapidly that the entire building, with its
contents of every description, was destroyed. The
family of Mr. Frierson had barely time to save them
selves. Mr. Pond and family are absent from the
city, and there is reason to suspect that the fire was
applied by an incendiary. An adjoining two-story
wooden building, owned by L. Connell and occupied
by Mrs. Frazer, was also, for the most part, con
sumed, though the furniture, &c., were saved. The
buildings were all fully insured, we learn, in the
Charter Oak Company, A. Wilbur, Agent. Mr-
Pond had an insnrai -e of$7()0on his furniture ; Mr.
Frierson was insured on his building and furniture
in the sum of $2,000 —both in the same company.
Another attempt was made on Sunday night to
fire a building, but was fortunately discovered in
time to prevent its becoming serious.
Science am ong the Japanese. —M. Von Siebold,
the distinguished scientific author, states that the
kuowiedge of the natural sciences amongst the Ja
panese is much more entensive and profound than
is generally supposed. They possess a great many
learned treatises thereupon, and an admirable geo
logical map of their island by Buntsjo. They are
well acquainted with the systems of European na
turalists, and have translations of the more impor
tant of their works. They have also a botanical dic
tionary, in which an account is given of not fewer
than 5,300 objects, and is embellished with numer
ous fine engravings.
New York Republican Nominations. —The
New York Republican State Convention met at Sy
racuse on Wedndesday and mado its nominations
as follows:
For Judge of Appeals, Timothy Jenkins, Oneida.
Secretary of State, Almon M. Clapp, Erie. Comp
troller, Robert Donnisob, Orange. Treasurer, John
T. Hogeboom, Columbia. Attorney-General, Wm.
Curtis; Noyes, New York. State Engineer, George
Guddes, Onondago. Prison Inspector, Thomas
Kirkpatrick, Albany. Canal Commissioner, Ariel
F. Thurston.
Raise More Food. —The New York Post gives
some “advice to the tillers of the soil,” from which
we take the following sensible and timely remarks:
The revolt in India is the harbinger of famine;
one hundred and eighty millions of human creatuies
will need large supplies of food from the products of
other regions. The army of India, the transport
for that army and its supplies, the necessities
growing out of the disturbed state of that great
English dependency, will call for much of our sur
plus beef, pork, and dour. The two last named
artioba are the product of every year, but beef
requires of nourishment before it is ready
fi uue. i'll” wicked, wanton waste of breeding
power, which is the besetting sin of American far
:utrs ught to be checked. Every farmer ought
to be r quired to give ail account of himself, who
kills a female calf. We ought to preserve every
• l o>'.v v-aif” for five years to come. By this method
we might soon have a supply of beef not only for
ourselves, but for any emergency abroad.
The St. Louis papers report that there were four
fires in that city on Sunday last. The fourth one
was quite extensive, being that of a lumber yard,
on the corner of Eleventh and Locusi streets. The
entire loss is estimated at $40,000. It is supposed
to have been the work of incendiaries.
Who the Humane Captain Is.—The brig which
came in collision with the schooner Lucinda Ann,
Capt. Wall, from Philadelphia, and disabled her,
and the captain ot whioh brig, when asked to lay
by, said he “would help the schooner to h—l,”
proves to be the Borneo, Captain Craig, which has
returned to New York. The captain of the brig
Borneo has been informed by the President of the
Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company that he will not
insure on him until he dears up the charges prefer
red by Captain Wall. The affair will be examined
into by a Committee of the Underwriters.
A Parallel. —Of the great loss of life on the Cen
tral America, the Philadelphia Press says: The only
parallel within our memory is that of the Amphi
trite, lost off the coast of France over twenty-five
years ago, with about eight hundred convicts on
board, who perished in a sudden squall, the greater
part of them being handcuffed and linked two-and.
two with fetters, and unable to make any effort to
save themselves.
A Significant Fact. —The Richmond Dispatch
says : —The last New York Independent, a paper
which serves God and Mammon, being the organ
of new light religion and of the “commercial agen
cies,'’ (espionage houses) in New York, publishes a
list of the mercantile failures and suspensions that
took place during the previous month in all quar.
ters of the country. The number is eighty-six in
all; and only eleven of them are c.oing business
south of Mason & Dixon’s line. This is a signifi
cant commentary on the persistent misrepresenta
tion bv the Black Republican papers of the busi
ness habits of Southern merchants.
The Atlantic Carle. —Ex Governor Price, of
New Jersey, has suggested to the Navy Department
the propriety of lending the Niagara to the East-
India Company to assist inlaying down their tele
graph cable, provided they purchase of the Atlantic
Company that portion of the cable which is now
coiled upon the decks of the Niagara. But Secre
tary Toucey baa decided that he has no power, even
if it were desirable, to lend a government ship to a
private corporation to assist in any work whatever
Orders will ge out to Cant. Hudson to proceed to
the Chinese seas with the Niagara, unless the altera
tion which was made to her in order to accommo
date the telegraghic cable may render important
repairs necessary to make her an efficient ship-of
war, in which event he will return to the United
States.
Workingmen Discharged —Since Monday about
one hundred aDd twenty-five men have been dis
charged from the workshops of the Reading Rail
road Company, in Reading, Pa., says the Gazette,
and it is expected that more discharges will follow.
The company - have stopped all new work of every
kind, and will, for the present, confine the opera
tions in the mechanical department of their business
to necessary repairs of running machinery. The
Reading cotton mill has also suspend'd.
Pairo & Nourse’s Banking Establishment.—
The Washington States has been furnished with the
sum total of the liabilities and assets of this estab
ment, which are as follows :
Liabilities $-200,000
Assets —Securities in individual notes and
city stocks 183,000
Securities in western lands 108,000
“ “ “ held jointly. 110,000
The first experiment, on this continent, of light
ing a city with gas made from peat was successfully
tried in Portland on Monday. The light was clear
and brilliant, and few of the citizens were aware
that coal was not used as usual.
Shocking Tragedy at Bangor, Me.—A shock
ing affair otc’irred on Sunday, in aschool boy quar
rel between Wm. Crosby, eon of Wm. C. Crosby,
Esq, and Charlee Lowell, son of John Lowell.—
Young L. well was stabbed by Crosby with his
p icket knife, and died within tenminntes. The
la is were each about 15 years old, and attended
school in the same building.
i Collision at Sea— A Humane Captain.— The
j New York Courier of the 21st says : “Schooner
Anna Gardner, of Boston, Harding, from Philadel
phia for Boeton, which arrived at this port yester
day, reports : Sept. 18, Sandy Hcok bearing North
west 55 miles, fell in with the schooner Lucinda
Jane, of St. George, Wall, master, from Philadel
phia for Belfast, Maine, in a sinking condition, had
been run into by an unknown brig a short time pre
viously. Took off the captain and crew and brought
them to this port. Capt. Wall reports after finding
that the schooner was sinking, requested the cap
tain of the brig to lay by her : his reply was, “I
would help you if I had a chance,” and so left
ns. U understood the brig was bound for Charleston
or Jacksonville.”
Decided. —The contest for the construction of
one of the new steam sloops-of-war, ordered by the
last Congress, has been decided by the Board of Na
val Commissioners in favor of Mr. Westervelt, of
New York, and the decision has been approved by
the Secretary of the Navy. The principal opponents
of Mr. Westervelt were Messrs. Curtiss, of BoetoD,
and Page of Norfolk.
Harper s Magazine, for October, has been re
ceived by Geo. A. OatiS be. Bbo. The leading &r ■
tides are “The Ship of the Desert,” “A Winter in

fusely illustrated.
Harper s Story Book for October, has also been

Death or an Editor. —Major John C. Bates,
een ! or Editor and proprietor of the Alabama (Mont
gomery) Journal, died on Tuesday evening last.
Messrs. Persse be Brooks, of New York, extensive
paper manufacturers, have failed.
The Fon du Lae Railroad has made an aseign t

Stale Road Print ins;.
A few days since, we copied an article from the
Atlanta American, exposing the frauds practiced
upon the State in the printing for the State Road.—
The Intelligencer, the recipient of the State Road
printing, contradicted the statements of the Ameri
can, to which the American makes the following
reply:
“We assert “on authority” that it is irve. We
assert “on authority “ that “5 Freight Books” 8 qrs.
each are charged at one time at $23 each. We as
sert “on authority” that two more of the same kind
and size are charged at the same price soon after.—
We assert “on authority ‘ that one bill confca ns
among other items, these, to-wit: 7 reams, Freight
Lists and Ruling at sl7 per ream ! I Book, 6 qrs.
(pag’d.) $19!! 10 Receipt Books, 10 qrs. each S2O.
50 each!! 4 Freight Books 8 qrs. each at $23 each !!
And tee assert “on authority” that this bill foots up
an amount the “Intelligencer’’ would call “fabu
lous” if Mr. Hill were to name it, and that it was
paid without being audited or approved!
“It is easy to write the word “false” on paper.
It is easy to give a denial to a charge. If the puces
paid for all work done on and for the State Road
are just and right, and no more than is paid by oth
ers, why do you feel a reluctance to name the prices ?
We dare you to give them! You flatly say, “uo
such amount has ever been paid.” We as flatly
say such an amount has been paid. And that is
not all—we further say it has been paid without be
ing audited and apvrooed by the officers whose duty
it was to audit ana approve, before the money could
be drawn, in order that the State might be protected
from such whole sale swindling! The Intelligencer
dare not give the prices it receives for it3 State
Road work.
“Haw do you like the ‘milk in that cocoanul V ”
We commend these statements of the American
to the attention of the tax payers of the State, as a
very fair illustration of the manner in which the peo
ple’s money is squandered by the spoilsmen on the
State Road. With such facts before ti e public, no
man need be astonished that the Road only pays a
dividend of one per cent, per annum. ludeed, the
only surprise they should feel is, that it pays a cent
into the State Treasury.
WkßTkrk Land Speculation. —The Grant coun
ty (Wisconsin) Herald seems to have but little sym
pathy for land speculators. Living in close propin
quity to the scene of operations, it may be presumed
to speak “by the card.” The Herald’s artiole is as
folio ws:
“The holders of large bodies of Western lands on
speculation are a sickly set of fellows. The chauces
are that large portions of the late lowa, Minnesota.
Northwestern Wisconsin entries will be in second
hand market far below Government prices. Their
air castles, built ou land monopoly, are haying their
foundation washed away by a crashing crisis of their
own begetting, for it is conceded that the present
bank crisis is caused by letting so much money out
to land speculators. We bave always held, upon a
basis of calculation that must stand, that the losses
far overbalance the profits on Western land specu
lations when such speculations are attempted by
non-residents. That there are some accidental prof
its to a few non resident land holders we admit, but
in a large majority of cases there are heavy losses.
All that is good, and great, and wise join in perpetual
conspiracy against nonresident land monopolists.
This is the great secret never taken into account by
the poor deluded victim who offers his money in
sacrifice and himself to disappointment.”
New York and Erie Railroad Company.—lts
Critical Condition. —A conference of stock and
bond holders, iuvited by the president and directors
of the New York and Erie Railroad, was held in
New York on Wednesday, and was addressed by
Charles Moran, the president of the road, in ex
planation of its present condition and future pros
pect. The Express gives the following as the
substance of his remarks :
Mr. Moran states his wants to be the subscription
of the new loan of $6,000,000, to give him $3,000,-
000 of cash duriDg a period of ten months. With
this amount he can wipe out every dollar of debt,
close the construction account, complete the Long
Dock, and get the road in a condition to earn $7,-
000,000 per annum. His expenses he estimates at
55 per ctnt., and it cannot be exceeded. His state
ment of the details of the business of the road
showed that since 1854 the floating debt has only
been moderately enlarged, and that the road has
improved its property $420,000 —after taking care
of its interest and sinking fund, the latter now
reaching $1,300,000. He did not attempt to palliate
the condition of the company—it was, und is
threatened with protest. Its daily wants are suppli
ed by its daily receipts; and it is only by the kind
ness ot such frieuds as John A. Stevens, Esq., of the
Bank of Commerce, and others, that it escapes. Its
labor has not been regularly paid •, and unless its
owners—upon this showiog ot the value of their
property—come forward, there is imminent risk of
failure.
On motion of Benjamin Loder, Esq., a committee
was appointed to prepare a ticket for the annual
election, and to confer with the directors in rela
tion to the finances of the road. The committee is
composed of Benjamin Loder,‘John Stewart, Jr.,
W. Whitewright and John 11. Gourlie, Esq., presi
dent of the New York Stock Exchange. At this
meeting a subscription of $144,000 was made to
the new board.
Raising the Central American. —The New
York Post says it is reported that negotiations are
going on between the Boston Submarine Armor
Company and the underwriters of the Central
America, to raise her hud, which is supposed to lie
in about 28 fathoms water. The specie in her alone
would furnish ample inducement for the experi
ment, if her position can be accurately fixed, and
that it can, is probable, from the fact that Capt-
Herndon was reported to have given her position
to the vessel which refused to come to his relief-
Should the work be undertaken prointly, there is
thought to be reasonable chauces of success.
Changing Names of Vessels. —We are glad
that attention has been called to this subject. When
a man changes his names, it is genrally from no
honest purpose. It is fair to infer the same, as a
general thing, ©f veesels. Os course, there may be
exceptionable cases, but it would be a good rule to
require every vessel changing Ivor name to be des
cribed by an alia*, as, for example, The Central
America, alias George Law. Tlie instances are not
few in which an old or unseaworthy vessel has been
disguised under anew name, for the purjiose of
commanding that public confidence to which it was
not entitled, and thereby deliberately exposing hu
man life and property to wholesale destruction. A
correspondent of the New York Evening Post de
dares that the “Illinois,” on the same line with the
“Central America,” is an unseaworthy vessel. No
doubt, there are at this moment scores of other ves
sels, upon our ooasts and rivers, a good deal more
unsafe than either of these steamers.
Report of Schooner Eldorado. —The follow
ing is the lull report of the schooner Eldorado,
whioh was in the vicinity of the Central America
at the time she sunk, and has since arrived at Bos
ton :
The schooner Eldorado of New York, Capt. Stone,
from Galveston on the 22d ult., arrived here to day.
Capt. Stone reports that on the 11th insl., ho expe
rienced a hurrican-, from the northeast to the south
west, and lost in it a foresail and received other da
mage. At o’clock P. M. of the 12th inst., when in
lat. 31° 25’ lon. 77° Iff spoke the steamship Central
America, it blowing a very heavy gale at the time
from the northwest, and heavy sea running ; passed
by her when distant from her about one hundred
feet; aud laid too until 9 J o’clock on the morning
of the 15th. Her lights disappeared at 7} o'clock
P. M.of the 12th inst. Capt. Stone then wore the
ship, and ran as near the ship as possible, but saw
nothing of the steamer or passengers. He wore the
skip every two hours, and a man was stationed aloft
at daylight, but could discover nothing. He saw
three other vessels laying by, one of which was the
bark Saxony.
A Pertinent Question. —The Sparta Georgian
addresses the following sensible question to the
people, to tie answered in the coming election :
“The Democratic candidates in tbe 7tli and Bth
Districts are continually appealing to the people for
their votes, because they belong to tbe dominant
party, and their opponents to one tiiat is powerless.
Now we ask the voters of those Districts in all
ooncience who is most likely to Bocrifice the interests
of his section, the congressman who is ree to vote
as he pleases, having no national or northern affilia
tions, or he who is Dound to the great national
Democracy and the 51 northern Democrats by the
strongest poesiole party lies ? Who will make the
most faithful advocate of the South, he who looking
for national preferment aud the keeping up a great
national party at ail hazards, or he who has nothing
to look to beyond his own State or section, and
nobody to please but his constituents 1 Let the
people answer.
Serious and Fatal Difficulty in Anderson
Countt, Texas —A Member of Congress Elect Re
ported Killed. —The Washington (Ark.) Telegraph
of the 2d inst., says :
r We learn by a gentleman, just from Texas, that
in a difficulty which occurred at Palestine, Ander
son countv, recently, Judge Reagan, member of
Congress elect for the Eastern District of Texas, his
brother aqd three other persons, were killed. Our
informant did not learn the origin of the difficulty,
or any further particulars.
The Loss of the Norfolk. —The Philadelphia
Ledger, of Friday, says that the passengers on the
lost steamer Norfolk speak in terms of high praiße
of the conduct of her officers. It says :
To the collected coolness and presence of mind of
the captain, and ready obedience of his officers and
crew, they ascribe, under the providence of God,
the preservation of their lives. The unfortunate
ship sunk within two minutes from the time the
passengers and crew left her. Os course, the pas
sngers had no time to save anything belonging to
them. Their wants were promptly attended to by
Mr. Webster, the agent of the company, who fur
nished them tickets for the South and money for
their expenses.
During the afternoon, Mr. Waples, first engineer,
and Mr. Henry Waples, seoond engineer, with stew
ardeas and firemen, eight persons in all, arrived
from Baltimore. They were in the first boat, and
were nicked up after being at sea six bonrs, off
Smith 8 Island, North of Cape Charles by the steam,
er Caledonia, Capt. Layfield, bound from Charles
ton to Baltimore, who showed great kindness in re
lieving their wants. Whilst in the boats they hail
ed a hermaphrodite brig, bound into tbe Chesa
peake, who answered them, but kept her course
without assisting them.
The Norfolk Herald says tbe most of the goods on
the Norfolk were intended for upper Virginia, and
a very small portion of them for that city and Ports
mouth.
Bank Messenger Robbed.— The Boston Trans
script gives the particulars of tbe robbery of $9,-
100 from the messenger of the Worcester County
Bank:
This Bank is in the practice of having its bills In
circulation here which are redeemed at the Suffolk,
sent home by the conductor of the train over the
Great Western Railroad. It appears that Mr. Jerry
Cole, the conductor of the three and a quarter P. M.
train from the city, received a little black trunk
containing the above stated amount. This be as
usual placed ic a safe located in the saloon of the
car, locked the safe and also tbe door of the saloon,
put the keys in his pocket, and wend about his usual
business. When within a few mites of Blacks tone,
he proceeded to obtain the trunk ; found the door of
the saloon and safe all right, but the trunk and its
valuable contents were missing.
Bteamer Talomicco. —The Savannah Nans
saysßy the arrival of the steamer Swan, we
learn that the steamer Talomicco, which left on
Wednesday for Augusta with freight for that city,
when below Old Sisters’ Ferry, broke her shaft,
lost one of her wheels, and ran upon a sand bank.
Mistaken Identitt. —A man named Aloert Pat
terson was recently indicted at Boston for Bigamy
for having married one Elizabeth Adkins under the
name of Eli Merrill. He was positively identified
by the clergyman and other parties, and was detain
ed in jail two weeks when he succeeded in produ
cing the bona fide Eli Merrill in court, who testified
to bis own identity and the fact of his marriage and
Patterson was thereupon released.
Handsome Reward.— The passengers rescued
from the wrecked steamer by the brig Marine sub
scribed and presented to the captain, officers and
crew of tbe latter vessel, as follows ■ To the captain,
SSOO ; first mate $100; spqpnu mate $75 ; two cooks
and steward $l5O , sailors $25.
The Bank Suspennioos—Panic.
When we penned our hurried remarks on Friday
night, in relatiou tc the monetary crisis at the North
we did not sosoou anticipate the realization of the
conviction then expressed, “ that the panic has not
>et reached its greatest height; and that it is des
tined to go on, involving other institutions and in
dividuals to an alarming and even more disastrous
extent”
But ere it had gone to press, the telegraph brought
us news of other suspensions ; and the indications
now are, that it will extend throughout the entire
North and Northwest, with a very few exceptions.
Indeed, the disease Beetns to have assumed an epi
demic form throughout nearly all that region of the
Union. New York, we hope and believe, will not
yield, and probably Boston. At the South, how
ever, the skies are much brighter, and in the Cot
ton growing States we apprehend no such a result,
except, perhaps, in Tennessee, where their banking
system has always been conducted on erroneous
principles. In South Carolina we are rejoiced to
think and believe the proposition will not be enter
tained, uor indeed in Georgia among those institu
tions which are properly organized, and have trans
acted a legitimate business. The Wild Cats will
probably yield, and we should not regret such a re
suit, as it will effectually rid the country of the nui
sauce. We trust, however, that the people will
compel every Bank that suspends specie payments,
to forfeit its charter. That is the only true course to
secure sound banking, and safe and secure iustilu
tions.
In our previous article we expressed the opinion
that the only effect of the suspension at the North,
would be a temporary derangemeut of, and strin
gency in the monetary affairs at the South, which
would be promptly relieved, as soon as the necessa
ry negotiations and arrangements can be consum
mated for the purchase of the cotton crop now
coming forward. Nothing has occurred to change,
respect, the opinion then expressed ; aud
should the New York Banks continue specie pay
ments, of which there now seems very little doubt,
the derangement will be of shorter duration than we
had anticipated. But should New York suspend,
the South can go on unharmed, save a temporary
embarrassment, and her institutions can furuit-h a
sound specie pay’mg currency to her people, if the
people will it, and will only see that their will is
obeyed. Let them not lend a listening ear to tlie
multerings of the croakers, who ar. * just uow having
a fine time of it; but on the contrary, require of the
Banks the prompt performance of their obligations,
which they are abundantly able to do ; for they arc
now strong, and as the crop reaches the market aud
goes forward, will become stronger every day.—
What the people want is a sound currency—one at
all times convertible into coin. Preserve this, and
there is little to be apprehended from panics.
Beware cl’ the Wild Cat-.
In the present monetary crisis, it behooves the
people to watch carefully, aud avcia all contact
with the Wild Cat Banks aud their issues. Be espe
cially careful to give them neither countenance or
circulation; avoid them as you would a highway,
man, and the contents of your purses will be much
more secure and valuable. To enable the people to
protect themselves, as much as possible, against
these institutions, we subjoin a list of them ; all of
which we regard totally unworthy of confidence or
credit:
Merchants’ Bank, of Macon.
Interior Bank, Griffin.
LaGkange Bank, LaGrange.
Bank of Greensboro’, Greensboro’.
Southern Bank, Bainbridge.
Cherokee Insurance & Banking Company, Dal
ton.
Planters’ & Mechanics’ Bank, Dalton.
North-Western Bank, Riugoid.Oa.

“.Still they Come.”
Dr. Jno. G. Slappey, a pi eminent Democrat of
Baker county, publicly repudiates Brown, in a U t
ter to the Macon Citizen, and declares his intention
to vote for Hill. We like to see such evidences
of unselfish patriotism—they augur well for the
country. Dr. S. is a man of intelligence, wealth end
influence. He has the capacity to distinguish be
tween the two candidates and the honesty and it/e
----pendence to declare for the better man, regard!- ss
of the dictates of party. We think the balk t’
boxes, on Monday next, will disclose the fact, tl at
there aie thousands of such Democrats in Georgia,
as Dr. Si.appey.
All could have been Saved. —The Norfolk
(Va.) Argus is informed by Capt. Burt, of the brig
Marine, that had such precautions been taken in
board thejateamer Central America, when tbc Ma
rine was seen approaching, as would have enabled
the two vessels to ride together by hawser, they
would have continued only a few fathoms apart,
aud all could have been taken on board the brig
before dark. The Argus says :
He informs us that wheu he bore down for the
steamer, knowing his own disabled condition and
that he must ueceessarily drift far to leeward ; aud
hoping that those on board the steamer woul< 1
realize this, he made every preparation on board
the brig for riding by a hawser—and expected to
find a boat out from the steamer with the end of
one of her large hawsers on board. He according j
rouudod to close under the stern of the steamer so
close that a biscuit might almost have been tossed
from one vessel to the other—and close enough to
have received one of her lines from a small boat—
but to his dismay, none such was in reudiness; and
in a minute more he was drifting rapidly away, lfc
is confident that he contd have saved every son/, if he
could only have made fast to the steamer! In this
opininion men of nautical experience must univer
sally concur.
The Central America was provided with several
noble hawsers, strong enough to have held tlie ves
eels together in the then state of weather. We can
onty gneve that tlie experiment of running out the
hawsers was not attempted on board the ship when
a crippled brig was seen approaching—the only
means of rescue.
Monument to Gen. Greens..—A large number
of the citizens of Guilford, N. C., assembled at the
Court House, the 18th inst., for the purpose of con
eidering ihe propriety, and of instituting some plan,
by which a suitable monument might be erected to
the memory Gen. Nathaniel Greene, of Revolution
ary fame. L<ydon Swain, Esq , was called to the
Chair. Addresses were made by several gentlemen,
and Ex-Governor Mordiead offered the following
resolutions, which was unanimously adopted :
Rr.no/ved, That it is due Gen. Natlidniel Greene
that a monument be erected to his memory upon the
plains of Guilford.
Resolved , That it becomes the National Legisla
ture to erect that monument. .
Resolved, That It is the duty of the Legislature of
North Carolina to erect said monument, provided
the National Legislature declines.
Resolved, That if the National and State Legi. la
tures decline, the people, of Guilford will erect t his
monument.
For the purpose of carrying out the object ex
pressed in the above resolutions, Jesse H. Lindsay,
Esq., offered the following :
Resolved , That we organize an association to be
cai.ed “Tlie Greene Monument Association,'’ and
t this end a committee of seven be appointed by
the Chair for the purpose of drafting a constitution,
to be submitted to the consideration of the meeting
at an adjourned session.
Resolved, That a Committee of three be appoin
ted to confer with the aforesaid Committee, and re
port permanent officers of the Association.
These resolutions Wfre also unanimously adopted,
ud in accordance with the first, tbe chair announc
ed the following Committee: Jesse il. Lindsay,
Robert P. Dick, W. A Caldwell, Rev. N. I*. Reid,
M. S. Sherwood, E. W. Ogburn, Dr. D. I*. Weir,
and the chair was added to the Committee.
For the fulfilment of the requisition in the secoud
resolution, the following Committee waa appointed :
Andrew Weatherly, James M. Garrett, Robert M.
Sloan, Sen.
“Chalking their Hats.” —We have been told,
says the Griffin Union , that an ex-conductor on the
State Railroad will swear, if necessary, that there it j
a practice on that road of designating favoritee and
“dead heads,” who pay nothing for their rides by a
chalk mark on the hat. Mr. Hill did say here that
he had heard of such being the practice and we have
also heard it from dismtercslcd parties, who could
have no motive for telling an untruth upon the
subject.
The truth is Mr. Hill has stirred up the sinners of
the State Road considerably. He has dectected
and exposed their iniquity, and they try to compen
sate themselves for the unpalatable truths he has
told by deiamation and low’ abme of him. It won’t
do. Benjamin H. Hill has a private reputation
which any man might be proud of We do not be.
lieve that he would wilfully tell the most insignifi
cant falsehood, even if he was sure that, by so doing
he could secure his election. The charge of cheat
ing him on the State Road is sustained by the very
conductor who did it; and we believe the chalk
mark equally true, though we are not certain that
Mr. Hill mentioned that as a fact within bis own
knowledge.
The Panic Affecting the Price of Tobacco
—The Richmond Examiner observes that the to
bacco trade of Virginia has centered in New York,
owing to the present banking system, and brings
facts and figures to show that this interest is already
feeling with a vengeance the pressure now raging in
the great commerci; 1 emporium of the country.—
Tobacco of the quality which ten days ago sold in
Richmond for 15, 17 and S2O, s<ld on Thursday for
10,12 and sl4, and the market falling.
Mr. Henry F. Smith, of Rochester, N. Y , has in
his possession a chair which ranks in antiquity with
the furniture in Independence Hall, dated back to
1774. In that year, a set of nine, of which this is
one, were presented to tbe mother of Mr. William
Morse, of Griswold, Connecticut, a f her marriage.—
Mr. Morse is now nearly one hundred years oid, and
this identical chair has stood in a particular comer,
and has been habitually used by him for more than
sixty years.
Hail Storm. —The Lynchburg Courier says that
the storm on Saturday was very destructive in parts
of Roanoke and Bedford counties. The crops of
com and tobacco were beaten down by hail stones
as large as a mans fist.
The necessary repairs to the Norwegian bark El
len, w.fich rescued a number of the passengejs by
the Central America, are to be made at the Gosport
Navy Yard. This is as it should be.
The “Republicans” a.* and Negro Suffrage.—
The constitution in lowa, which the “Republicans
advocated, was adopted by a majority of 1
Thenegrc suffrage clause, however, was voted down
by over 40,000 majority. The votes show the sin
cerity of “Republican” regard for the negro.
The Cincinnati Commercial states that the busi
ness of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad during
the past month has been immense—much larger
thfLn any previous monib since its opening.
Gold to be Coined.—lt is stated in the Philadel
phia Pr<*s that within a few days $750,000 in re
fined bars of gold, stamped by the New York av
sa* office, has been received in the united States
Mint for coinage, and that half a million more s
daily expected. This fact is interesting ”in Connec
tion with the present rate of exchange, as a proof of
the strong check given to the exportation of bullion
by the extraordinary demand tor it here.
Ho Cholera— Dr. J. E. Manlove, a distinguish
ed physician of Tennessee, says that “hog cholera,’ j
which Is destroying so many swine throughout tAie
west, is a disease of the lungs, and not cholei aas
generally supposed He thinks its cause is evidently
of atmospheric origin. I
