Agreeably to a previous appointment, a large
meeting of the people of Oglethoipe county met in
the Court House and organized the meeting, by
calling J. W. Johnson to the Chair, and requesting
W. W. Davenport to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained by K.
Winfrey, Krq , and was to lake into consideration
the late aeiion of the Commission Merchants of
Augusta, and their advanced rates for selling Cot
toil.
On motion, a Committee of six was appointed by
the Chair to prepare resolutions for the action of the
meeting.
The following gentlemen were appointed : Lewis
.1 Ib upree, MialSmith, It Winfrey, D. C Harrow,
; J. S. Sims, and Win. Edwards.
The Committee retired fi.r a short time and pre
■ Rented the following resolutions :
■ Whereas, It has beer, rumored that there has
j been and is a combination of the Commission
Merchants of Augusta, to increase the rates for
u.g't’, U. and that they have determined that
.i ,1 hr- stored in Augusta to be sold for
„ |,,, m'e than that set by themselves—fifty cents
, . l,,ii* —ami in furtherance of said determination,
, . , monopolized the Warehouses in the city
, Augusta, for the purpose of coercing compliance
V I their demands, which (from ibe high standing
, : mesa, gentlemen) we cannot believe, and hope
■ Urey will publicly answer.
/ c vnlUl. Tnat considering the present price
j ami pi,.liable range of the price of cotton l„r the
i.-. p, the planter could not reasonably ob
’.. i b. a small advance in the charge for selling.
tred I t. That we are willing, while the range
i of (Hi e is high, to submit to the proposed advance.
/, ,tr, 1‘.’..1 That in th*- future—if the planter
•1 not (km, t by the Commission Merchant at
: a fair rate, according to ttie price of the staple—it
; will become the duty of those whoso interests are
thereby alTerded, to seek relief, by calling on com
pet. ,:t"and reliable men in the country to open
Wai. house in Augusta, for the purpose of transact
| ing th,.ir business.
Tl. i above resolutions of the Committee were
severally voted down.
I * was then proposed to take the vote of the meet
ing upon them undivided, and they were voted
down as a whole.
The meeting then passed the following resolution
—substantially the preamble ot tho Committee's
resolution :
A’ so/reil, That it lias been currently reported
hat Ihe Commission Merchants of Augusta have
combined for the purpose of increasing the rate.-, for
selling cotton, and have determined that no cotton
shall be stored in Angusta to be sold for less than
lift/ i ■ n!s per bale for selling and, in furtheranee
of -aid determination, that they have monopolized
the Warehouses for the purpose of coercing com
pliance with their demands, which (from the high
standing of these gentlemen,) w'e cannot believe,
and hereby call upon iliem to answer publicly.
llcHotveit , That a c ,py of the above be sent to the
Chronicle &. Sentinel and to the Constitutionalist,

Siva m Tit action on Common Roads. —The Lon
don ‘rimes gives the following ‘description of a sue’
va -.-.iful experiment in tho transport of heavy loads
of timber, on commond roada, by means of a trac
tion engine, with the aid of the “endless rail
way : ”
“The inhabitants of Woolwich yesterday’ evening
witiu - s.-d the passage of a line of vans heavily la
deu with timber, and drawn by one of BoydeU’s
traction engines and endless railway. Tho engine
is one which has been purchased by government for
use in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, And made
the whole journey from Thetford, iu Norfolk, draw
ing a load ot timber on four trucks, the foremost of
ul.-ch contained II tons, lOcwfc., and the second 10
tons lOcwt , the third 9 tons 10 cwt.,and the fourth
7 tons 10cwt., together with the van laden with
< cals, water, Ac , the whole load, including the en
gine, which weighs about 15 tons, being titty seven
tons. Tho “pattens,” or endless railway, enabled
Ihe engine to travel over the uneven and long line
of country roads, no.ne of which were scarcely pas
f-able on account of the lute heavy rains, at the av
• 1 age rate of about four miles an hour, and on en
tering Woolwich the speed w-as far greater.—
()! 1 airiving at the dock-yard gate the control of the
ngine w;is remarkable, being with its complete
load < onveyed with much facility into the interior of
the dock yard, where the timber is to be stored for
ship building.”
Native Cotton. —The following is an extract
from a letter, published in tlie Talllahassee Flori
,h in X Jhui uni, and dated the J Ith of Sept., at
Fort Myers, Fla:
“While on a scout near this place, on the Curloo
sahutchee River n few days since, I found a large
quantity of wild cotton. This cotton is growing in
a low marshy hammock near the river; when first
discevt red 1 could hardly believe the fact, but upon
examination 1 found it to be cotton in its crude and
uncultivated state. This cotton has the appearance
; <>f Nankeen cotton; but I think this ia caused by
the r< 4 bug, which seems to have the same effect
on the bolls as rust on the stem. The leaf of this
j cotton is very much like the Sea Island iu shape,
; but from the feeling of the leaf and shape of the
bolls one would suppose it to be upland. The cotton
grows very high, and seems mostly barren, but this
1 think, is owing to the thickness of the growth.
Phis cotton is well acapted to tlie climate aud soil
1 hat i: grows all winter; it may seem unreasonable
v Yt’ii.Vu-. but l am confident that I saw* some stalks
that arc at least four or live years old. It is found
mostly in the vicinity of the river. I went with
r lont-1 Rogers aud others, who are well acquainted
.’ :h the cotton plant, to look at this cotton, and
they all prounuuced it cotton, growing naturally in
an uncultivated soil.’*

Living Without Aatxno.— Mr. J. L. Studdaril
sends to the Albany Jouriltv the following remark
able case of a Mrs. Hays, i • Iloricon, Warren
county, New York, who is kuown 11 that section
as “the woman that lives with, ut eating.’’ lie
says •,
As to the fact that she goes without eating, I
think after remaining with her eighteen hours, there
is no doubt of it. The character ot Mis. Hays, amt
a large number of other competent witnesses, is
such as to make their statements worthy ot ooiili
deuce —especially as they were given under oath. 1
also think the condition she is in precludes the idea
of her eating.
She appears to be entirely unconscious ajr.d is in
almost continuous spasms of the most horrid char
acter. She has had long continued spells ol rais’ng
her body up, then throwing herself back so as to
strike the top of her head upon the bed—thus bring
ing her face and feet so near together as to form a
semi-circle with her body. Sometimes her head has
been drawn back so that the line of her face would
be reversed and would rest upon the pillow. Then
ehe would straighten out again and there would bo
the most forcible agitation of her whole frame—a
violent quiver—a rapid spasmodic action ol every
nerve and muscle, with strangling and gasping for
breath, like a person in the last agonies of dealli.—
This strangling and gasping is in consequence of
suspended respiration, during tho period her head is
so forcibly drawu back. At one timeshe remained
in that position twenty minutes, twelve minutes
were the longest while I was with her. I applied a
looking-glass to her face as a test, but could see no
evidence of her breathing- She does not now
usually remain in those peculiar spasms longer than
from three to five minutes. During a space of
three weeks they estimated that she went through
with these motions at least once a minute on an av
erage. One day, on which they kept some account,
there were not less than three thousand live hundred
of these spasms.
The least particle of food taken into the room will
produce violent heaving and retching. 1 simply
handled bread and then went near the bed, and it
produced heaving which was alarming. 1 sprin
kled an impalpable and almost imperceptible powder
of surcharum tact is upon her tongue, and it pro
duced violent, heaving, which lasted over one hour.
From the statements and affidavits I have, which
I believe to be essentially correct, this woman has
not eaten anything, and not even taken a drop of
water from about the twentieth of last February to
September 11th, the time I saw her. She has not
eaten more than a person would eat at one usual
meal, while iu health, since the twenty-eighth of
June, lSoo, now about twenty-seven months. For
a few times during this period, she has taken a lit
tle drink and a few tea-epoonsfull of berry juice and
the juice from apple-sauce; but all that you can
call nourishment would not amount to one ordinary
meal during the whole period. The digestive action
of the bowels has also been entirely suspended,
since a year ago last June. 1 hope some of our
eminent professors and men of science will take the
trouble to visit this mysterous case, and give us
some philosophical explanation.
Financiai. Affairs. —We take the following in
teresting items regarding financial affairs from our
exchanges;
The St. Louis Republican states that in conse
quence of the suspensions of Chouteau, Harrison ft
Valle, the owners of the Iron Mountain, in Missis
sippi, orders have been given so stop operations at
the Iron Mountain, ami that the number of opera
tives thus discharged will amount to 150. At La
lede Rolling Mills, in St. Ixiuis, and the coal banks,
the number is stated at 400. A good many of these
men have families, and the prospect for them, as
well as for others is a gloomy one, ftnless tbe price
of provisions, etc., should experience a rapid decline.
At Taunton, Mass., the tack factory of Lovett
Morse and the Taunton Tack Company’s factory
have susDended operations, as has also the tack fac
tory of S. Rhodes & Son, at Dighton, Mass About
tiO hands have been discharged from the works of the
Taunton Le-omotive Company, Fairbanks) and
those remaining put upon short time. The manu
factories of Berkshire county. Mass., are nearly all
of them either suspending entirely or working on
short time.
The Cumberland Coal and Iron Company have
made an assignment of all their effects. Tins mea
sure was adopted in preference to paying the pro
sent high rates formmey. wherewith to meet ma
turing obligations, of which it is said they have out,
(as floating debt, contracted in the purchase boats,
oars, wharves. Arc.,) some ts .00,000. They have
due them, however, it is represented, a considerable
sum for coal, tor which they have the parties’ notes,
runniug four months, besides other assets, with
which they calculated to meet their obligations.
Baltimore Money Market.
Wednesday, P. M.—We have no spiecially new
feature to notice in financial affair? to-day. The
banks are discounting good mercantile paper to a
fair extent. It is gratifying to know that our mer
chauts and business men continue to stand firm,
meeting their obligations manfully. No failures
have transpired, and ti e most stringent pieriod
being past, none are seriously apprehended.
A good deal of papier is offering on the street
which meets freer negotiation at 1 j Tper cent a
month for good to favorite notes. Capitalists, how
ever. do not purchase vety freely unlees the names
and securities are undoubted. Money on call ito
per cent a month. Virginia bank note, old. 11 per
cent discount. others do. ito S per cent discount. —
Nothing doing in notes of Western banks.
Exchange on the North is not in so much demand.
We quote it at 8 percent, premium in Baltimore
funds. Exchange on London 7to 9 per cent do.
and in limited request.
Gold is in request and selling at 5a 6 per cent,
premium. Silver in small lots at 4ff6 p>er cent,
prem.
Stocks are dull and we note a decline to day in
Baltimore and Ohio and Northern Central.
Our advice* from New York and Philadelphia,
indeed from ail piarts of the country, denote a very
unsettled and stringent condition of financiai affairs.

From the Charleston Standard, of Sunday.
Filin m int Ci'iisis.
The financial crisis, whiflh for some time has been
impending over our community, was consummated
yesterday by the failure of the Bank of the State to
continue specie payment.. The day before, it was
understood, that i.he bills of this Bank had not been
taken on deposit at the Hank of South Carolina ; and
soon after the doors were opened yesterday, an unu
sually large number of bill holders and depositors
came upon the Bank for specie and balances. The
specie and bills of other Ranks were all drawn out
as the day advanced, and about 12 o’clock a notice
was given by the Direction that no further specie
payments could be made. Some little feeling was
occasioned, but there was no excitement. It was
known that the assets of the Bank are abundantly
sufficient for its liabilities, while it was also known
that, in the event of any possible deficiency, the
State is liable to make it good, and besides the in
convenience occasioned to depositors and bill hol
ders by their inability to make these available im
mediately in settlements with other Banks, there
were 110 startling or painful circumstances attending
the occurrence.
It is not known, nor is it believed, that any spe
cial cause has occasioned this result. By reference
to the monthly Bank Statements, for the last few
years, it will appear that the circulation, deposits,
and other liabilities of this Bank are about the same
they have been; its specie, exchange, foreign and
domestic, and other easli assets, have not been di
minished ; and the calamity, therefore, is one to
which all Banks in Charleston, and particularly the
BaDk of the State, must be always liable under the
present system of exchanges.
Thissystem, to say the least of it, is an unfortu
nate one. Our crops, when sold in foreign markets,
give us credit abroad, but we have no payments,
comparatively, to make abroad, and must sell our
credits, therefore, where there is a mar <et for them
This is only in New York, and our banks, therefore,
to enable merchants to cotton, must take
their bills on Europe or New York. To make their
bills on Europe available they must sell them in
New York, and under ordinary circumstances the
eyntem is not productive of embarrassment. The
banks, to fulfill their office of facilitating the sale of
produce at the South, must invest a consideiable
portion of their capital to that object, but they can
bring the specie on from New York to meet emer
gencies, and it is the same in effect as though the
specie were at hand. Rut the commercial system
of New York has become convulsed. They are not
able to respond to drafts upon them for our money
there to our credit—they are not able to purchase
our exchange on Europe, and the banks at the
South, therefore, though in the strongest possible
condition, are liable to be crushed by the convul
sions of another commercial system upon which
they have happened to become dependent. The
evidence of this fact will appear from a comparison
between the Rank Statements of the last, month
ami the same month in 18. r >(.
From this it will be seen that the circulation of all
the Ranks in August, iSf>7, was $7,6i r ,877 ; net pro
fits on hand sl,77‘J, 1 lii; deposits $'.1,051),276; mak
ing an aggregate of immediate liabilities $12,161,-
profits $1,667,000; deposits $3,253,841; making ail
aggregate of immediate liabilities in 1856, $12,265,-
612, showing an increase of liabilities to the extent
of only about $200,01)0. At the same time the as
sets were as follows in 1857: specie, $1,252,058;
domestic exchange, $10,535,422; foreign exchange,
$•296,671; making an aggregate of cash assets, sl2,
084,151; and in 1856, specie, $1,383,208: domestic
exchange, $7,886,222; foreign exchange, $275,176;
making an .aggregate for that year of $9,544,608;
making an increase in cash assets for 18. r d, of $2,-
610,000 ; and as we were abundantly easy in 1856,
it cannot have happened that the present embar
rassments have occurred from any immediate error
in our banking system, but from causes which are
outside of it, and which are liable at any time to
occur so long as the system shall continue.
We have little question but that the Bank of the
State could have avoided the necessity of suspend
ing specie payment, if it had been thought proper
to incur the sacrifices necessary to that object. Jt
had, it is true, as will appear from the last Bank
statement published, a circulation amounting to
$1,163,517, but this consisting to a considerable ex
tent of small bills, was not likely to come in rapidly.
There was also a feeling of confidence in the sta
bility of this institution, which would have kept the
bills in extensive circulation ; but it had besides one
hundred and twenty-five thousand four hundred and
forty-nine dollars iu specie, $524,322 in domestic
exchange, £ 118,000 in bonds—the most of them of
the State of South Carolina —$620,1)00 in stock, be
sides a credit in England, the amount of which is
not known. These could have been sold at a heavy
sacrifice perhaps, but for a sum doubtless sufficient
to meet the exigencies of the occasion ; aud by
sacrificing this property and inexorably enforcing
payment in full from the debtors of the Bank, it is
scarcely to be doubted but that the Bank could
have sustained itself. The course, however, would
hare been serious to the interests of the community
and the State, and from the lights that are before
us we are inclined to commend the Direction for the
course that they have seen proper to pursue.
Astray in thf. Florida “Army.” —The follow
ing letter, dated the oth September, at Fort Myers,
Fla., appears in the Florida Republican :
Friend Moore : Knowing that you take a deep
interest in the welfare of tbe Regiment to which I
have the honor to be attached, I will inform you that
at present there is a g<*od deal of sickness in the
differeui camps. We very otten hear platoons fir
ing over the graves of our fellow soldiers but amid
all our gloom a dark shade was cast ove. our hearts
by the sudden arrest of Major Dozier, Dr. Rogers,
and Lieut. Marsh. The latter was arrested and
fdaced in cloee confinement, on account of a recontre
ietween himself and .Sergeant Monroe, of the Regu
lar Army, on the *Jd icst., which resulted iu Monroe
being mortally wounded. He died yester ay. It is
hard to obtain a correct account ot the unfortunate
affair, as the volunteers who were present differ
widely from the regulars in their testimony. Yet I
have gathered enough to clear away the cloud that
might be cast over the fair character of Major Dozier
and Dr. Rogers.
Our Major hearing Marsh and Monroe using harsh
words P* each other in the Sutler’s store, command
ed the peace, when he was asked by Monroe, who
he was ? Major Dozier replied, lie commanded j
these boys, and was Major of the Regiment. Mon- !
roe, in reply, said that he was a damned liar, and ;
struck him. Dr. Rogers then ran in between them,
when the Dr. was struck. Immediately the report [
of a pistol was heard, whoee ball, with lightning j
speed, bore the summons of death. aDd the unlor- i
tunate Monroe was hurried off to the hospital, from i
whence he came out a corpse. Sergeant Monroe j
was much respected in the army, and I understand. ;
has left an interesting family to mourn his loss.
Tbe steamer is about to leave and I nave not
time to give you a detail of the good conduct of our !
Lieut. CoL Wright, who never forgot his position
during the excitement, but with coolness h quell
ed the riot which bvghn to wear a dark and bloody j
aspect.
Our Colonel heeiust arrived with ParkhilTa com- i
pacy. which fills the regiment. We will now go
into active operations. Hoping soon to make a good
report of a scout, I remain yours respectfully,
L. A. Hardee.
A.n Unpleasant Tiwast.—Fourteen yean ago a
French officer, Uhricb, whilst fighting against the
Arabs, was struck by a ball in the eye. A few days
ago he had a slight attack of apoplexy, which shook
him greatly, and a few nights after be was awakened
from his sleep by a sense of suffocation. Jumping
up he found that the bail had, bv degrees, worked
its way down, and had at last fallen from tbe upper
part of his mouth into his throat ’ By violent ef
forts he succeeded in dislodging it, and is now do
ing well. The ball, though diminished by corr aion,
was found to weigh twenty five gramme*, (about
Ibur-fithe of an ounce)

How the Peoples Money Odes.—The bogus
Democracy have repeatedly asserted that the charg
es brought in regard to their squandering the pro
ceeds of the State Road were false. A great many
honest voters believed tlu-ir assertions and dis
believed the facts presented by the American party.
This cannot be helped now. But gome idea of how
the money goes may be gathered from the following
facts.
One of our Rome Merchants, recently returned
from New York, showed us a Rail Road Ticket, of
.which the following is an exact copy :
No.
WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAIL ROAD.
FROM CHATTANOOGA
TO ATLANTA.
$5 00. W. A. FORT.
This ticket was given to our friend by Mr. J. L.
Brewster, of New York City. Mr. B. said that when
at Chattanooga last summer one of the clerks in the
employment of the State Road gave him some five
or six of those Tickets. He u.sed one or two him
eelf—gave two or three to his friends in company
with him, aud had this one left on his arrival at New
York. This Chattanooga clerk gave the Now York
gentleman s*2s or S3O o? your money, Tax Payers of
Georgia, for nothing r.t ali; and this, and ten thou
sand other instances cf corrupt profligacy and steal
ing accounts for no money getting into the Treasury
as proceeds of the Road that ought to pay at least
$ 120,000 yearly.
How can this Road pay dividends when every
clerk can give every traveller he fancies S2O or S3O
in Tickets, give, in fact, so many that they are scat
tered from Chattanooga to New York City. —Rome

\ California Lady in Search of the Betrayer of
Her Friend.
We met yesterday at the Miami Depot, a lady
who has exhibited the most indefatigable pereseve
r&nce in the pursuit of information under embar
rassing difficulties. Three years ago she resided in
California, which State in fact, she claims now as
her residence, and there became acquainted witn a
man named Munson, a pleasing, cool, affable gen
tleman, who-o adroitly work <1 his way into her
confidence that she introduced him to a youug lady,
Ia near and dear friend, possessed of some fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars in cash. The result, as
might have been anticipated, wae the consumma
tion of the lady’s heartfelt wishes—the marriage of
her friend to the polished and affable gentleman.
A few months rolled round, and every tiling pass
ed off smoothly enough. The husband was affec
tionate and attentive . the iady all love and confi
dence. Finally, the husband expressing a w’ish to
euterinto business and settle down ••.’* hie, the con
fiding wife dYew from her bankers almost the whole
of her fortune and p aced it in hi= hands. A week
after, the steamer sailed for the Atlantic side, and
the husband departed with the gold, leaving his
confiding victim to the tender mercies of a local
world that is far too busy to look after individual
wrongs in which they have no personal or pecui iary
interest.
The lady who had brought about the match left,
and boldly faced her responsibility in the premises,
and on the sailing of the next homeward-bound
steamer, she took passage for New “i ork, determin
ed to follow the betrayer of her confidence and the
love of a wife to the bound? f civilization, and
bring him to punishment. Arriving in New York
she got tracee of his footsteps, followed him over
various routes, until she tracked him to a village
in Pennsylvania, where she found him with another
wife, to whom he had been manied before going to
California! A warrant was issued for big arrest for
bigamy, but, havmg no proofs ot his second mar
riage. after a short examination, he w’as discharged.
Nothing daunted by this unlocked-for termination
of affairs, the lady immediately returned to Califor
nia, procured the necessary affidavits substantiating
Munson's marriage there, together with evidence of
the fact of hia having absconded with some $15,000
of his second wife's funds, and once more returned
i to the Atlantic side in search of the betrayer of her
i triend. And that search she has pioeecuted now for
two or three months, with the most determined and
‘ restless perseverance; but thus far without success.
He had left the village where ne resided when ar
re*ted for bigamy, and although the lady bad ob
! tained some subsequent traces of his movements,
; when we met her yesterday she had not yet succeed
. ed in ascertaining his present residence, although
she is satisfied it is somewhere in the West. She had
! already expended a large amount of her own funds
1 in the pursuit, and expressed her determination not
to give up the chase until her **sweet revenge had
; been gratified, and tin- viilian brought to justice.—
> The lady pursuer left yesterday for Cleveland,
where she has friends residing. If she may not be
classed amongst the ‘'strong minded women, she
is certainly a very determined one.

OBITUARY.
Died in this city, on 11th inat, PAUL, aged eleven
months and eleven days, son of Henry and 11. A. Roa
signol.
Died, on the 9th in*t., of Typhoid Fever, in tho 23d
year of his age, PASCHAL W. ROBERTS, of Thom
son, Columbia county, Ga.
He wan a truly promising and amiable young man,
universally respected and neloved by all who knew him
Though connected with no Church bis morality and re
gard for religion were far beyond that of ordinary young
men—always manifesting a supreme love and venera
tion for every thing honest and of good report. And
from his remarkably vorrect notions of true religion, his
broken-hearted friends are cheered with the soothing
hope that be was taught and led by the spirit—the more
so a he expressed a perfect willingness to die.
Strange, that death could not spare this blooming and
hopeful young man, and take one who was nearer done
with the world. But, this is his character—
“ A tl casts of conduct, all degrees of health,
All dies of fortune, and all dates of age,
Together shook in his impartial urn,
Come forth at random : or, if choice is made,
The choice is quite sarcastic, and insults
All bold conjecture and fond hopes of man. ’
