by the abandonment of Goruckpore by the civil

to restore in those districts.
Our latest accounts from Delhi extend to the 26th

more recently an auxiliary force of about two thou
•vftd six hundred men trom Cashmere lias marched

vice. Anew saige train from Faroxpore is expeset
t and by the end of August, and the Chief Commis
sioner of the Punjaub calculates that by the middle
of ibis mouth the force before Delhi will be little
short of 15,000 men. This estimate may be some
w hat -uo high. There has been the usual skirmish

The latest intelligence from Agra is to the 25th

uxpeuition to FVtehpore Sukree, and another to

A Vlw of iho
City. Monday evening. — There has been almost
a panic in the market for the English funds to-day,
ooraaioned by the advance of the minimum rate of
interest and diswunt to 7 percent, by the authori
t;eif the Bank of England. This extreme meas
ure has lakeu a large portion of the public by sur
prise, inasmuch as t: was scarcely apprehended that
the position of affairs was so unsatisfactory as to in
c.uce the Governor of the Bank to exert the power
visted in las office to advance the rate of interest
without waiting, as in the ordinary course, for a
resolution of the Board of Directors. It appears,
never, from the promptitude with which this
hn.ngc has been made and the extent to which it has
been carried, that the Governor of the Baukcon
dcrs lie has found, in the publication of the affairs
o: the Bank at the close of last week, a sufficient
| for infficliug on the whole mercantile com
mnnity of this country the additional burden of 1
per cent, in the rate ot interest within five days of
the time when an advance to 6 per cent, had been
made. It is true that the position of monetary and
c •.unm cial affairs in the United States is meet unsat
factory, and it is equally true that under ordinary
el r au stances a large outflow of bullion would
take place from this country with a much lower rate
. profit than is offered by the state of the exchanges;
b it still it may be questioned whether the dispatch
of bullion t .tier u ill be very large, in consequence
t the feeling of insecurity which would attend such
durations. The disturbed condition of financial af
fairs on the Continent of Europe more immediately
a lie- . us, but it is notwithstanding open to much de
bate (upn the data possessed by the public)
whether the evils that can scarcely fail to be
..used by so tuerviieee an addition to the rate of
♦•d scout'd” aa H per cent., within lese than a week,
wiH be compensated by the result* expected to fol
w so serums and so determined a step.
Vor the past three years we have had a periodic
return o( these extreme measures on the part of the
Bank. The mercantile community have, however,
been able to support the pressure with some degree
pftmpuattv hitherto, from ‘he high state of credit
, ontHirrenfly maintained, and the facility with which
c-ounnodiue* were absorbed by the chief markets of
tlia world. If the tale of proh: ou oar exports wss
but small, it was compensated for to a considerable
extent by the profits realized on imports. The
monetary “pressure m other countries, although se
vere. was not excessive, and not nearly so geaaraL
india and the United Stales always offered a safe
outlet for our productions, and capita! could always
l-e raised at the market rates hot carrying on eem
metvial operations Money, though dear, way easy,
l-nfertauateiv now the case ha* somewhat changed.
India is disuracled by a widesewead rebellion, and
truce in a great measure is paralyzed. In the United
S'w the ugontes of commercial crisis are being
endured.'ood although there is reason to hope that
tbs worst has passed, it must be clear to aH that
commercial confidence will not be so readily reetor
ct as t has been tore down, and that it Will perhaps
be month* betore credit will be even partially re
rstaWiahaii It ie therefore impossible to look upon
the advance of the rata of iaiereet and discount to
day but as a inoat grave and serious step. We
roc art now ship goods ad Itinlum to India and
Ainrriea. and thus one great source of the available
unanen-lal capital of this country is materially
narrowed . and although this is not an unmixedevif,
it is one which will tor the time seriously cripple
tue commercial world, and doubtless bring down
; many firms of standing and respectability. The

From the Manchester Guardian
M-acHrsriß, Tuesday, Get. 13-The commer
cial storm, reaching ns from the United States is
producing a serious effect. Instead of goods mo
ney flows to that quarter where it may be very oro
fit ably used in buyingup depreciated securities
This, added to the previous causes of drain, has led
the Bank of England again to raise the rate of in
terest; an advance of 1 percent having been de
termined upon at the meeting of directors yester
day morning. The increased difficulty of effecting
discounts, and of obtaining remittances which thus
arises, would alone restrict the operations of mer
chants.
What effect a continued diminution of demand
for years and goods may have upon production re
mains to be seen. As contracts run out stocks will
begin to accumulate, and if the mills will go on
working full time cotton will maintain its value or
become dearer from scarceness. Will spinners and
manufacturers pile np their products at so high a
cost J This is scarcely conceivable. It would clear
ly, then, be the wisest course for the whole fiction
trade to resort to short time at once. In no otbw
way can the complicated difficulties and dangers of
the position be effectually dealt with.
The failures in Glasgow are the
D. Macdonald, very extensive muslin manufactur
ers, whose liabilities are variously stated at £500,-
000, £600,000. aud even a still higher sum; J. Mon
teith & Cos., calico printers, having liabilities given
in some letters at £-150,000, and in others at £500,-
000; William Smith, calico printer, whose debts are
not stated; and Wm. Wardlaw & Cos., agents, ow
ing, it is said, £60,000. In reference to a rumor of
the sum owing by J. Monteith it Cos., to a Man
chester firm, we can state, on the best authority
that it is immensely exaggerated. We are glad to
say that the alleged failure of G. Pattison & Cos., of
Glasgow, is authoritatively contradicted. Iu Man
chester, Hugh Ferguson, stuff merchant, has inform
ed his creditors by circular, that he is unable to
meet his undertakings, which somewhat exceed
£40,000. This amount will fall chiefly upon Brad
ford. Mr. Ferguson is said by the Leeds Mercury,
“to have been engaged in speculative transactions
to a considerable extent”
A meeting of the creditors of James and John
Beard baa been held to-day at the Clarence Hotel;
Messrs. Hale, Worthington, aud Shipman being the
solicitors to the estate, and Mr. Broome, accountant.
The debts aud liabilities were staled at £61,000 the
assets £63,000. The latter consists ot stock, £13,-
000; good debts in England, £800; and balance
upon consignments to foreign markets, £ 50,000.
Sixty creditors were present or represented, and a
committee was appointed to investigtte jthe af

Edmund Whitehead also held a meeting. He oflers

Great Britain—The Newmarket Kaces.—
The race for the great Cesarewitcli Handicap at
Newmarket resulted in the triumph of Mr. Ten
Broeck’s “Prioress.’’ Thirty four horses ran, and
on the first attempt there was a dead heat between
Prioress, El Hakim and Queen Bess. The deciding
raoe between these three was won cleverly by Pri
oress by a length and a half. The success of the
American home was greeted with great cheering,
aud Prioress immediately became first favorite in
the betting for the Cambridgeshire stakes to be run
for at Newmarket on the 27th ot October. Before
the race 100 to X was laid against Prioress. The
value of the stakes exceeded £2,000 sterling.

The fl g was dropped to a beautiful start. Dusty
Miller bore his colors to the front, with Queen Bess,
Cerva, M. Debler, and the l’lush Colt following,
nearly in the order named:—Odd Trick, Fright,
Emulator, Ziz zag, Warlock, Prioress, aud Poodle
lying in the middle of the ruck. These positions
were unchanged uutil reaching the ditch, wiien
Cerva rushed to the front, Queen Bess being in
close attendance upon her, with Odd Trick third,
Emulator, El Hakim, Prioress, Fright, Zig-zag,
Warlock, and the Plush Colt forming the next lot.
At the bushes the pace began to tell, and War
lock, Plush Colt, and Poodle .dropped back, and
Cerva resigned the lead to Queen Bess. As they
descended the hill Odd Trick, Emulator, and Zig
zag also disappeared from the front. Ou approach
ing the cords Queen Bess, with El Hakim at her
neck, still held a slight lead, with Prioress running
by herself on the far side third, Fright, Zig-zag,
Warlock, and Emulator showing in front of the
ruck. One of the most exciting Cesarewitch finish
es ever seen then ensued. Prioress, half way up the
cords, seemed to be almost coming in alone, but the
tiny jockeys of El nakirn and Queen Bess made a
determined set to, and the judge, unable to sepa
rate the first three, pronounced a dead heat with
Prioress, Queen Bess and El Hakim ; Fright was
next, about a length and a half behind them, Zig zag
fifth, about a length and a half in advance of War
lock, who was sixth, and Martinet seventh ; Emu

was run after the last race in a deepening twilight,
which rendered it impossible to dist inguish the col
ors of the riders at a distance.. El Hakim was first
off, but after going about fifty yards Prioress, over
powering Fordham, rushed to the front aud carried
on the running to the ditch gap, where she was pull
ed back, andlay about three lengths in the rear,
Queen Bees going on with the lead, close attended
by El Ilakim. On coming down the bushes hill
Prioress hung to the left, and a shout was raised of
“The American's beaten !” but Fordham roused the
mare with his whip, and before reaching the foot of
the hill she bore her colors in advance, and quitting
her opponents half way up the cords, won cleverly
by a length and a half; El Hakim beating Queen
Bess by a head only for second place. A loud and
prolonged cheer hailed the triumph of the American
horse, and Mr. Ten Broeck was warmly congratu
lated upon the first victory achieved by him in En
gland. An objection was made by the rider of
Queen Bess against the rider of El Hakim ou the
ground of a cross.
The celebrated American horse Lecomte died
from an attack ot cholio. The horse Pryor had been
stricken out of all his engagements for the present
year.

Financial Affairs.— The funds declined j per
cent. The demand for discounts at bank is more
numerous than any during the month. Sixty thou
sand pounds were also withdrawn for exportation.
The American advices per Persia show that many
months must elapse before its consequences hete
will be retrieved. The chief danger of gold being
Bent hence to New York is om account of large ad
ditional purchases of securities, which our capital
ists have been tempted to make at present prices.
As respects commercial losses to be sustained this
side, very heavy amounts are believed to have fal
len on Lyons and Paris—Manchester, Bradford and
Glasgow will also suffer considerably.
From the Times of the Yith.
The bank to-day raised the discount to 7 per cent.
This measure was fully anticipated, and from the
extent of the applications to-day it is doubtful if
further movement will not immediately be found
necessary. The amount of bullion withdrawn from
the bank has been only nine thousand pounds, but
it is asserted that lour hundred thousand pounds
will be dispatched by the Baltic add Persia on Wed
nesday and Saturday next, and as the Indian ex
changes show an adverse alteration, it is also anti
cipated that the shipments in that direction by this
mail of 20th will be larger than at any one time
thought probable. With these prospects a freeh ad
vance iu the rate of discount can scarcely be avoid
ed, and perhaps we may again see the rate of eight
per cent at which it stood in October. 1847. In
proportion, however, to the suddenness of the pres
sure, will be the rapidity of the ultimate reaction.
There is nothing to excite apprehension that the
disturbance will be protracted. The sole cause for
anxiety is the fall of such houses, in the provinces
asd elsewhere, as are unavoidably compromised by
the American failures and fluctuations in the markets
for Eastern produce. This should not beget, how
ever, any vague terror calculated to lead men to a
single day of general financial distrust The belief
is, however, that the decided action of the banks
has removed all danger on that account. Altogether
the feeling exhibited to-day was such as to excite
pride in our healthful system of finauce, and to con
firm the impression that, although the shook from
America comes upon us in the midst of the Indian
mutiny, ste shall be able to withstand it, so that its
consequences, heavy as they must necessarily be;
shall not destroy confidence or interrupt the general
welfare of the country. The flactumons in the
unds to-day have been extiemely greatt
Four failures were announced from Glasgow to
day. The principal one was that of J. Monteith
A Cos., whoee liabilities are believed to be exten
sive. They were large shippers of Glasgow goods
to America and elsewhere. The other houses are
Patterson A Cos., McDonald A Cos., and Wallace &
Cos.

The quotation of gold at Paris is nearly two
tenths per cent dearer than in London, and at
Hamburg five tenths dearer. The fluctuations in
the funds to-day have again teen rapid and exten
sive.
The market opened with great weakness, but
there was subsequently considerable reaction and
a more healthful tone in all departments of business.
Console for money were first quoted at 86 1-2. No
sales, however, were pressed, and gradual recovery
took place, which was assisted by several purcha
ses on the part of the public. The range was
then between 87 and 87 1, until noon, when the
government broker appeared as a buyer of
X 10,600 exchequer bills on account of the sinking
fund. This increased the tendency to confidence,
and ultimately, notwithstanding the announcement
that the Bank of France bad adopted a rise of one
per cent in toe rate of discount, transactions were
affected at the rate of 874 to 87j, and 88 to SBi for
the 10th of November. After the regular hours
there was lees firmness, and quotations were 87 1-2
to 87$ tor money, and tte to sf for the account.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1857.
New Orleans .Money .Market.
Saterdat Evening, Oct. 24.—The official bank
statement for the week shows the following changes
as compared with the preceding return :
Decrease in Short Loans $814,254
Increase in Specie 375.405
Decrease in Circulation 109’%C1
Decrease in Deposit 283 234
Decrease in Exchange 385,235
Decrease in Amount due distant Banks.. 117,018
Decrease in Deposits proper ] 66,216
These figuree fully vindicate the opinion we ex
pressed last Monday, that “the succeeding statement
would be an ascending one, and that the specie line
had seen ite lowest point,” The returns, as will be
perceived are favorable, as indicating increased
strength on the part of the banks, but it will also be
seen that the contracting process has not abated,
and that the curtailment of loans within the last
fortnight has amounted to nearly two millions. To
what extent this policy can be pursued without af
fecting the customers of the banks, and reacting un
pleasantly on the portfolios of these institutions, is
a question now in progress of solution. In the
meanwhile, it is satisfactory to know that the ability
of the banks to afford relief ‘8 on the increase, and
if hitherto withheld from prudential considerations,
it ought not to be considered as inaugurating a sys
tem under which a policy ot such questionable pro
priety should be indefinitely perpetuated. Doubt
less, however, the various managers will take this
important matter under immediate advertisement,
SPd if wise counsels prevail, they will not fail to
respond partially at least to the pressing wants of
the community. Outside it is wel 1 known that
money cannot be had at any price, and hence the
only reliance of the merchants ia on the moneyed
institutions.

The tone of the market to-day was not encour
aging, though towards the close the improved figures
of the bank st-temeut inspired a little more confi
dence. The suspension of the banking house of
Messrs. Robb, Hallet be Cos., New York, had its es- I
feet also in repressing any disposition that might I
otherwise have been manifested to operate with I
more freedom. We are happy, however, to state
that the misfortunes, which, according to the best
information we can obtain, will be only temporary,
does not affect in the slightest degree the bank of
James Robb, an institution managed entirely apart
from the banking business of the bouse, and that
its means and resources, as may indeed be seen
trom the returns, are more than ample to meat all
and every demand. Whilst much sympathy is de
servedly expressed for Mr. Robb, the community
here have the most implicit confidence in the man
■agement of the bank.
It was exceedingly difficult to pass Exchange of
any kind this morning, and where casual negotia

as scarcely to admit of a quotation. Some Sterling
was sold at 92 for cash ana 95 in barter, but even
the best people cannot move freely at 90. They
may sell a trifle, and then the money gives out.—

(-rent Knilroud Failure.
The Illinois Central Railroad has failed, and made
an assignment. This is the greatest among the
great failures of the passing day.
The Illinois Central is the longest railroad in the
United States. It is 704 miles long. At last ac
counts it had cost over $23,000,000. Its gross re
ceipts at the last yearly return were $2,476,000 ; its
nett receipts were $1,031,000. On the 19th of Sep
tember its stock stood at 94, and as late as Satur
day stood at 71.
As evety one knows, this road was richly endow
ed by the State with lands granted by Congress.
The grant was 3,840 acres to every mile. So that
the whole grant waa over 2,700,000 acres of land.
These lauds were appropriated by the company in
maimer following : 2,000,000 of acres were mort
gaged as security for money to be raised for the con
struction of the road. The money expected to be
raised in this way was $17,000,000. The bonds bore
7 per cent, interest, payableon the Ist of October
and April in New-York; 250,000 acres were to be
held subject to sale, so as to form a fund for the pay
ment of interest, until the receipts of the road should
pay interest. The balance—some 400,000 acres—
were to be sold from time to time to “ meet Buch
demands as the exigencies of the Company may
demand.’’
The minimum value of the 2,000,000 acres (mort
gaged for construction) was set down at over $lB,-
000,000. Tic company also created stock to the
amount of $2,000,000.
The landß and the road were conveyed in trust
to Morris Ketehum, of New-York, and to John
Moore and Samuel Lockwood, of Illinois. The trust
thus created was to secure the construction of the
road, and those who loaned it money on the strength
of its lands and road.
The bonds called construction bonds, to the
amount of si; ,000,000, have been issued. Besides, I
$3 ,000,000 of 7 per cent bonds, secured by lands I
other than those set apart to secure the construction
bonds, have been issued. These $3,000,000 are
called tree-land bonds.
At the minimum valuation put on the 2.000,000
acres, which were mortgaged to secure the con
struction bonds, the whole landed property may be
considered worth $25,000,000. The last sale of the
bonds was 65.
So sanguine were the proprietors of this road that
the proceeds of the bonds and the lands sold would
put them amply in funds, that they made it a con
dition of tiie construction bonds that the company
might at any time purchase those bonds, or any of
them, by paying, in addition to the regular interest,
the principal, with twenty percent, added. Iu fact,
few supposed that such a road as this, endowed as it
was, could fail of being excellent property. It had
$2,000,000 of capital subscribed. It had such pro
ceeds in money as near 700,000 acres of land would
yield to pay interest as well as for < onstruction. —
And it bad the proceeds of the $17,000,000 construc
tion bonds.
The cost is set down by the Railroad Journal at
as we have stated above, a little over $23,000,000.
The construction and free-land bonds amount to
$20,000,000, if they have all been sold. The inter
est at 7 per cent on these bonds is $1,400,000. The
nett receipts of the road at the last yearly report
were given at $1,031,000, and the gross at $2,476,-
000. Os the gross receipts, 5 per cent, are payable
into the Illinois State Treasury, as the bonus agreed
on for the land grant. Five per cent on the gross
reoeipta last year were over $123,000. And if the
sum above given as nett receipts is what is left after
deducting merely running expenses, this $123,000
must be deducted from these receipts, thus leaving
the sum applicable to the payment of interest from
the receipts at $907,-JIO, which would fall short of
the interest supposed to be due over half a million
of dollars.
The lands sold by the company amount to about
300,000 acres, at near sl4 an acre. Should all the
land granted.them sell at the same rate, the aggre
gate would be between thirty and forty millions of
dollars.
The lands and roads will now, in the regular
course, go into the hands of the bondholders or be
sold for their benefit. The suggestion that the road
will be no longer operated cannot, we suppose, be
grounded iu any knowledge of the intention of those
who control it.
Education of Girls.— Tne subject of physical
education is beginning to attract attention. The
following remarks are from the Boston Courier,
written by the editor after having attended a school
testival in Faneuil Hall:
“But there was one thing we noticed which did
throw a little shadow over our thoughts. We stood
on the platform, very near the boys and girls, as
they passed by to receive a boquet at the hands of
the Mayor. We could not help observing that not
one girl in ten had the air and look of good health.
There were very many lovely countenances—lovely
with an expreesion of intellect and goodness—but
they were like fair flowers resting upon a fragile
stalk. Narrow cheet, round shoulders, meagre forms,
pallid cheeks, were far too common. There was a
general want ia their movements of the buoyancy
and vivacity ot youth and childhood. The beat of
the day and the nervous exhaustion of the occasion
were to be taken into the account and due allowance
should be made for them. But this was not the
first time that we were forced to the conclusion
that here in Boeton, in tie education of girls, the
body is lamentably neglected. And it is a very
great and serious neglect, the oonsequnces of which
will not end with the sufferers themselves. Os what
use is it to leant all sorts of things during the first
sixteen years of life, and to stuff the brain with all
kinds of knowledge, if the price be a feebly or dis
eased body f A finely endowed mind shut np in a
sickly body is like a bright light in a broken lantern,
liable to be blown out by a pnff of wind or ex
tinguished by a dash of rain.
If the destiny ot women were to be put under a
glass and looked at like a flower, it would be of
little consequence ; but woman must take her part
in performing the duties and sustaining the burdens
of life. These young model scholars, in dne time,
will marry men whose lot it is to earn their bread
by some kind of toil, in which their wives must
needs aid them To this service they will bring
intelligent capacity and conscientious purpose ; but
how far will these go without health, and the cheer
ful spirits which health gives ? A sickly wife is no
helpmate, but a hindermate. If we neglect the
body the body will have its revenge. And are we
not doing this T A'ewe not throwing our whole
educational force upon the brain ? Is not a healthy
city born and bred woman getting to be as rare as
a black swan ? And is it not time to reform this
altogether f Is it not time to think something of
the casket as well as the jewel—something of the
lantern as well as the light ?”
Til low Fiver at Milton.—A private letter
from Pensacola, written on Friday, gives us the
following information :
The yellow fever is prevai’ing to some extent in
Milton. Fla., and isof a very malignant type, there
having been, up to the time of the steamer's leav
ing on yesterday, seven deaths since the previous
morning There is a great panic among the in
habitants : and really it is not to be wondered at
after the disastrous effects of the fever there in
1853.
The little town of Milton is situated on Blaekwater
Kiver. some twenty-five miles above Pensacola, in
the very midst of the piney woods, and is usually
unsurpassed in respect of healthfulness by any spot
in Florida, or anywhere else In 1853, it iuay be
remembered, there was no place that suffered more
severely from yellow fever. Then, however, the
disease had gradually advanced from New Orleans
to Mobile, from Mobile to Pensacola, and from
Pensacola to Milton. Now, at the close of a season,
when these cities have been almost, if not altoge
ther, exempt from yellow fever—with the excep
tion of New Orleans, we might say entirely so—that
it should suddenly break out in this remote spot is
an unusual and unaccountable phenomenon, even in
the history of this mys'erious disease Mobile
Tribune.
The Financial Management of the municipal
affairs of New Tork appears to be at loose ends. A
report has just been made to the Council which
shows that nearly eight millions of dollars are due
to the City Treasurer, which ought to have been
paid long ago. On assessments unpaid there is the
sum of 14,759,000. and of unpaid taxes $2^36,000.
It is strongly suspected that these amounts have
been intercepted on their way from the tax payers
to the Treasury.
Daniel Bean.
In bis peaceful habitation on the banks of the
Yadkin River, in North Carolina,Daniel Boon, the
illustrious hunter, had heard Finley, a trader, so
memorable as the pioneer, describe ‘a tract of land
west of Virginia as the richest in North America or
in the world. In May, 1769, leaving his wile and
offspring, having Finley as bis pilot and four others
as his companions, the young man of about three
and twenty wandered forth through the wilderness
of America, “in quest of the country of Kentucky,’’
known to the savages as “the Dark and Bloody
Ground,” the‘ Middle Ground,’’ between the sub
jects of the Five Nations and the Cherokees. Af
ter a long and fatigueing jonmey through mountain
ranges, the party found themselves in June, on the
Red River, a tributary to the Kentucky, aud from
the top ot an eminence surveyed with delight the
beautiful plaiu that stretched to the north-west.—
Here they built their shelter and began to recon
noitre and to hunt. All the kinds of wild beasts
that were natural to America£-the stately elk. the
timid deer, the antlered stag, tße wildcat, the bear,
the panther and the wolf —crouched among the
canes, or roamed over the rich grasses which, even
beneath the tniekest shades, sprang luxuriantly out
of the generous soil. The buffaloes cropped fear
lessly the herbage or jbrowued on the leaves of the
reed, and were more frequent than cattle in a set
tlement of Carolina herdsmen. Sometimes there
were hundreds in a drove, and round the salt-licks
their number was amazing.
The summer in which tor the first time a party of
white men enjoyed the brilliancy of nature near
aud iu the valley of the Eikhorn, passed away in
the occupations of exploring parties aud the chase.
But one by one, Boone's companions dropped off,
till he was left alone with John Stewart. They
jointly found unceasing delight in the wonders of
the forest, till one evening near Kentucky river,
they were taken prisoners by a band of Indians,
wanderers like themselves. They escaped and
were joined by Boone's brother; so that when Stew
art was soon after killed by savages, the first victim
among the hecatomb of white men slain by them in
their desperate battling for the lovely hunting
ground, Boone still had his brother to share with
him the dangers and attractions of the wilderness,
the building and occupying the first cottage in Ken
tucky.
In the spring of 1770, that brother returned to
the settlements for horses and supplies of ammuni
tion, leaving the renowned hunter “by himself
without bread, or salt, or sugar, or even a horse or
dog.” “ The idea of a beloved wife,” anxious for
his safety, tinged his thoughts with saduess; but
otherwise the cheerful, meditative man, careless of
wealth, knowing the use of the rifle, not the plow,
of a strong,’ robust frame, in the vigorous health of
early manhood, ignorant of books, but versed iu
the forest aud forest life, even fond of tracking the
deer on foot away from men, yet in his disposition,
humane, generous and gentle, was happy in the un
interrupted succession of “ sylvan pleasure.”
One calm summer’s evening, as he climbed a
commanding ridge, and looked upon the remote
“venerable mountains,” and the nearer ample
plains, caught a glimpse in the distance of the Ohio,
which bounded the land of his affections with ma
jestic grandeur, his heart exulted in the region he
had discovered. “All things were still.” Not a
breezes o much as shook a leaf, lie kindled a lire
near a fountain of sweet water, and feasted on the
loin of a buck. He was no more alone than a bee
among flowers, bat communed familiarly with the
whole universe of life. Nature was his -ntimate,
aud as tho roving woodsman leaned confidingly on
her bosom, she responded to his intelligence.
For him the rocks aud fountains, the loaf and the
blades of gross had life ; tiie cooling air laden with
the wild perfume, came to him as a friend; the dewy
morning wrapped him in its embrace; the trees
stood up gloriously round about him as so many
myriads of companions. All wore the character of
design or peril. But how could he be afraid! Tri
umphing oyer danger, he knew no fear. The per
petual howling of the wolves by night round his cot
tage- or his bivouac in the brake, was his devoraion;
aud by day he had joy in survey ing the various spe
oies of animals that surrounded him. lie loved the
solitude better than the towered city or the hum of
business.
Near the end of July, 1770, his faithful brother
came back to meet him at the old camp. Shortly
after, they proceeded to Cumberland river, giving
names to tbe different waters and lie then returned
to his wife aud children, fixed in his purpose at the
risk of his life aud fortune to bring them as soon as
possible to live in Kentucky, which he esteemed a
second Paradise.— Bancroft’s History.
The Deet Sea Soundings iiy the Arctic.— The
United States surveying steamer Arctic has return
ed from her deep tea explorations, completing her
former surveys aud examining into the practica
bility of other telegraphic extensions in connection
with the great transatlantic scheme. The first part
of the work was completed successfully, but in the
deep sea soundings, the sounding line, several thou
Sund fathoms long, was lost. The plan proposed
was to make soundings and thermal observations,
at intervals of thirty miles, between Halifax aud
Bermuda, and thence home. This ia only a portion
of an elaborate examination that is being made of
all the phenomena connected with the Gulf Stream,
under the direction of Professor A. D. Bache, the
head of our Coast Survey Department. The prin
c pal instrument in these surveys has been the
thermometer, and by its aid they were able o mea
sure the amount and locate the limits of the Gulf
Stream with no little accuracy. The temperature
of the surface, being affected by a thousand causes,
can be little relied on, but a systematic thermal ex
amination at a depth of 15 or 20 fathon s has been
effected. Temperatures were observed eveD to the
depth of several hundred fathoms, varying at first
by distance of ten fathoms, and afterwards, as the
differences in temperature on descending became
less perceptible, by greater distances between the
thermometers. These observations Bhowed that
the Gulf Stream is comparatively a superficial cur
rent, aud is underlaid by vast strata of cold water,
so oold as to carry to Southern regions the tempera
ture of the far North. In the passage from Halifax
towards Bermuda elaborate thermal experiments
were made. At the last station, before tho parting
of the line and loss of their last sounding apparatus,
the temperatures increased from a depth ol nearly
three miles in a very regular proportion, beginning
with 25 degrees on the bottom and running up to
45 degrees. 14 degrees, 66 degrees, and 54 degrees,
to finally 75 degrees on theiurface. Some of the
depths obtained were enormous—the greatest relia
ble depths ever obtained.— Ball. Amer.
The Process of Wheel Making, at the car
wheel and thq tire works, in Jersey City, is one of
the most interesting in all the various operations of
modern mechanics. The tread or exterior of the
rim is east iu contact with a heavy ring of iron, pre
viously turned smooth. The metal employed is hot
blast iron, and small quantities of white iron are ad
ded whenever the metal proves not sufficiently in
clined to chill. The .depth to which the harden
ing is effected on the rim should be about half an
inch, and this may be very readily ascertained if
the casting be broken across at that part. In order
to afford means for thus ascertaining the depth of
the hardened metal, small projections termed
“trials” are cast ou the side, which trials are broken
off by a hammer after the wheel is cold, and readily
show by the color and highly crystaline appearance
of the fracture the precise depth of the chill. The
mould, constructed in the ordinary manner, except
for the insertion of the chill, is broken up as soon as
practicable after the metal lias been poured. Eight
minutes, says a writer in the Scientific American,
who describes this operation, waa the time allowed
in the instance which we timed ; aud the wheels,
still bright red-hot, are at once transferred to ‘‘an
nealing pots,” where they are covered deeply with
dry sand, and allowed to remain three days grad
ually cooling. The interior cavities, of course, are
produced by coring, the cores being sustained by
slender iron rods, which remain in the perfected
casting, as part of the Bame. The material of the
cores is disintegrated aud removed in the usual
manDer, by stirriDg it with rods inserted through
holes of quite moderate Bize, left for the purpose in
side plates.
New Passenger Car. —At the late Fair in At
lanta, anew Passenger Car put up at the shop of
the State Road, was exhibited. The whole of the
work was done at this shop, and nearly all the
materials used in its construction, is of Georgia pro
duction. It was put under the direction and supervi
sion of Mr. David Emanuel, Master Carpenter of
the Western & Atlantic Rail Road Wood Shop.
This Car equals any brought from the North, and
excells them in many particulars. The inside is most
elegantly furnished and beautifully ornamented.
The painting is magnificent—done by Mr. Tomlin
son.
The actual cost of this Car, is five or six hundred
dollars less than those purchased at the Northern
Factories. It ia truly astonishing that Southern
Rail Road Companies should annually expend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, in the purebaee of cars
when as good aud even better, an artilre can be
made at home, and at less cost than those put up at
the North. The policy heretofore pursued, is not
only objectionable in an economical point of view,
but grossly unjust to our own mechanics.
A few years ago, David Emanuel was a poor
orphan boy, living in this city; by dint of industry
and preseverance, he has become master of bis
trade and can compete with the best car builders at
the North. Encourage our own mechanics, and our
Rail Road shops will soon have Emanuels enough
to build all our cars, and no thanks to Abolitiondom.

Caught. —We are infomedthat two underground
railroad agents from “way down East” were captur
ed in Sumter county last week and lodged in jail.
It seems that the scoundrels had several interviews
with some negroes aud persuaded some of them to
leave for free-niggerdom, but one of the would-be
midnight emigrants informed bis matte- of the
affair, after reflection had brought him to his senses.
The master therefore dressed and blacked himself
into a counterfeit negro and went to the place of
rendezvous, where he met the “liberators” and
talked and laughed “high negro ‘ to them until all
their plans were discovered, and evidence enough
to convict obtained, when the master and con
federates threw off their disguises and arrested the
thieves, and sent them to “durance vile ’ and the
prospect of a few years at hard labor in the carpen
ter's shop over about Wetu i pka. A swift and easy
voyage to them to that pleasant place where they
will be able to do the “state some service, ’ and
learn more useful trades than that of stealing other

Distressing Incident. —Last week a son of Col.
Joseph J. Winter, of this county returned from
Kansas after an absence of some three years, we
beneve His appearance had so changed that even
his father did not recognize him when he entered
th 6 parental mansion. After the son had made
himself known, the father stepped to the door es an
adjoining room, and calling to two of his daughters,
informed them that a gentleman desired to see
them. Upon entering the room, the young lames
did not at first recognize their brother, but almost
instantly the eldest, named Cecillia, recognized
him and sank ins’antiy to the floor, dead. Being
somewhat delicate, the joyous surprise of tnus un

she was d'eariy attached, was too much, and her

Thx DiAMOKD.—The cutting and polishing of dia
monds involves a loss of nearly one-haif of their
weight. So difficult is the art, that it is *aid there
“is but one lapidary in the world Coster, of Amster
dam—to whom stones of extraordinary size would
be entrusted. The universal standrad by which
the diamond ia estimated is the carat, formerly
exactly equivalent to four troy weight. It
is now, however, never of the full weight. The
standard price of the uncut £en. weighing one
carat, is from seven dollars and a hAf to ten dollars,
according to their purity, shape, etc.; that of the
•'brilliant cut ia from thirty to forty dollars; the
‘rose” cut tt worth about half as much as the bril
liants of the same weight an dquality. The rule by
which diamonds of all sizes are estimated is, to
multiply the square of the weight by the above
prices. A diamond of the first water, “brilliant”
cut, and weighing three hundred carat, would be as
large as a hem's egg, and would be worth $3,000,000.

copy from the back of a one dollar bill in the pos
s.’saion of a gentleman of this city. They are peeu
l.arly appropriate to the times, and will no doubt
awake a sympathetic feeling in many who read

And thou must go, my beautiful,
To pay remorseless dun—
Must pass forever from my hand,
My cherished only 1.
Thou wert as good as X or V,
For thou wert all I he and :
And now, to lose thee in this way,
Confound it—’tis too bad.
The rich have stores of larger bills,
And double eagles too;
But they can’t feel the love I felt,
My cherished rag, for you.
But, go away—l cannot smile—

To think I am, when thon art gone,
Decidedly dead broke.

Commerce of Cincinnati. —The Superintendent
of the Merchants’ Exchange, Cincinnati, has issued
a statement of the trade and commerce of that city
for the commercial year ending August 31st, 1857.
It affords evidence of the present prospective great
ness of the “Quceu of the West.” The following
comparison of her trade for several years indicate
steady progress:
Y-ors. Value of Imports. Value of Exports.
1851 2 $41,-56,199 $33,234,896

1856- 77,090,146 55,642,171
With the large crops now gathered, the increase
for the coming year must be far greater than for
any year previous. The imports of Hour and grain
for the last ten years compare as follows :

With regard to corn, the crop, the present year,
prom’ses to be the largest ever gathered, the weath
er having been favorable aud the breadth of land
planted was very large.
The wh at crop is oelieved to be much in excess
of any previous year ; but as it was injured by rust
in many localities the quality is likely to be inferior.
The planting of barley was stimulated by the great
increase in the consumption of beer, aud the pro
duction is estimated at twenty five percent, in ex
cess of any former year. Respecting the manufac
ture of whiskey, we extract the following, showing
tiie quantity distilled iu Ciuciunati during the past
aud previous years :
1856-7 531,873 bbls.
1855-’6 428,001 *“
Increase 103,872 “
In the distillation of thi sthere were consumed 7,-
978,095 bushels of corn aud other grain. Cincinna
ti in addition to being the great potjt market of the
country, and the great manufacturing emporium of
the Western portion of the Republic, is, also, be
yond all doubt, the most extensive whiskey market
in the world.
In the prices of cattle and hogs, a deeliue is anti
< ipated the present season, on account of the abun
dance of the crops wherewith to fatten them, and
tiie inducements to grow t !io--e animals during the
past nine months have been very strong. The
number of hogs packed in the city last season was
344,512, or nearly 61,060 less than during the pre
vious year.
The crop of flax seed the present year is a very
large one, the higlt prices obtained for it the last
year or two having led to a rapid increase in its pro
duction. At a late meeting of the oil manufactur
ers, after a careful comparison of notes, it was esti
mated that the yield exceeded the capacity of the
mills represented to crush—which embraced all the
leading ones iu this State and Indiana—loo,OOfl
bushels. Anew rule has been a opted in selling
oil, which we have before referred to in our paper.
Oil henceforward is to be sold by weight, in con
formity with a law of the State passed last winter,
7 j lbs. being given in each gallon, aud the barrels
iu all cases to be charged for.— Balt. Amer.
Retorts of the Kansas Election.— Election
returns have been received from nearly every coun
ty in Kansae, and the result is, every district, except
the Leavenworth and Atchison Districts, has gone
overwhelmingly Free State. Such a disparity of
strength was scarcely ever before exhibited De
tweeu two contending parties for power as is seen
in the vote throughout all Kansas, except on the
immediate Missouri border. Seventy to nothing,
150 to 3,210 to 0, 905 to 11, this is the way the vote
runs where the polls were nit convenient of access
from Missouri. We said the Free State ticket was
overwhelmingly victorious except in the two dis
tricts mentioned. In this we slightly erred. Ac
cording to the true vote cast in this district, the
Free State Party carried the day by 1,300 majori
ty, out of an aggregate of about 2,300 votes. All
waa right bo far, aud wound stand so except for the
fraudulent returns mentioned elsewhere.
Admitting, however, the Johnson county, and all
fraudul :nt returns, Marcus J. Parrot is elected by
about three thousand maiority, and Secretary
Stanton has indicated his readiness to give him his
certificate of election.
Johnson county has sent up to the Secretary’s
office returns giving for the county some 1,700 Pro-
Slavery majority. The mass of these returns are
from the Oxford Precinct, a little town on the
Missouri line, or, rather, the village, what there is
of it, is on the Missouri side. There are not thirty
legal voters living at that Precinct, aud only some
eighty were polled the first day. But the polls were
kept open, or pretended to be, another day; and
now the pretence is made that from a thousand to
fifteen hundred votes were polled the second day.
Now, according to the census of the Pro Slavery
men themselves, Johnson county contains only 496
votes, and a total population of only 890 inhabitants!
Os course, such monstrous returns give prima facie
evidence ot being fraudulent throughout. A majori
ty of 10,000 would be just as reasonable and honest
from Johnson county as this 1,700 majority.
We learn that Secretary Stanton openly avows
his conviction that the returns are fraudulent, and,
of course, under such circumstances he can give no
certificates based upon them. Indeed, should an
attempt be made to defraud the members rightfully
elected by the people, of their seats, by the admis
siu of these fraudulent returns, we think we speak
advisedly when we say, that the peace of the whole
Territory would be immediately and most immi
nently hazarded therel y. —Laurence ( Kansas) Re

Safety of Letters and Gold at Sea.— Mr. Jo
siah Foster, of Sandwich Mass., has just brought
before the public an invention of his for securing
the safety of gold and valuable papers in cases
where the vessel in which such matter is transport
ed is lost at sea. It is called the Patent Marine
Safe and Metallic Mail Bag. The Boston Adver
tiser publishes the following report of the Commit
tee who have examined it.
“ The safe exhibited by Mr. Foster was about the
size of a medium sized mail bag, and so construct
ed that it must remain perfectly water tight though
it should be pressed under the water and kept there
for years. When filled to its utmost capacity with
mail matter aud thrown overboard, it floated upon
the water like a cork; and to test the extent of its
buoyancy it waa afterwards loaded with two hun
dred and thirty-six pounds of stone, and it was then
sufficiently buoyant to buoy up two men. The loss of
so large an amount of gold and the mails by the foun
dering of the Central America, suggested to Mr.
Foster the idea of a marine safe, which he has suc
ceeded in perfecting; and which needs only to be
seen, and the buoyancy 6t it tested, to convince of
its utility and the importance of its being brought
into general ÜBe in the transportation of mails when
ever conveyed by water; and without doubt it will
be substituted for the leather bags now ueed, as
soon as submitted to the inspection of the Post Of
fice < Department. After an examination of this
safe", our astonishment at its buoyancy is only ex
ceeded by our astonishment that something of the
kind has not long since been introduced.”
The Land Speculators —Au article in the Chi
cago Tribune informs us that shoals of people from
New England and the Middle Stateß are travelling ‘
Westward to look after the farm lands and build
ing lots, in which they invested so much money last
summer and spring, at a time of great inflation, or
upon the security of which they lent money to wes
tern men. The Tribune adds, that these invest
ments are hopeless now, and will be so for years to
come. But this probably depends upon whether the
holders of such lands and lots continue to expect
good prices. The article we quote from says that
the amount of land now for sate is immense, in fact,
out of all proportion to the demand at present, or
any prospective demand for the next ten years. As
for the building lots nine-tenths of them might as
well be sacrificed at once by their owners for any
price they will bring. From the tone of the western
papers it is quite clear that none of the land now
held by speculators will be saleable for a long time
to come, unless thrown into the market for what
ever it will bring. Then emigrants and settlers
will be attracted to the regions which the eager ap
petites of speculators had swallowed up. But if
not, then the next tide of emigration will pass over
them entirely and they will be forgotten. —Baltimore

Steam Going a Whaling. —lt is said that the
whale ship America, which sailed from New Bed
ford on Wednesday of last week, took out a steam
whaleboat. The machinery consists of two oscilla
ting engines placed in the stern, which drive a pad
dle wheel. ‘This boat can be propelled at the rate
of twelve miles an hour—two more than the usnal
speed of the whale. It is about two feet longer and
one foot wider than the ordinary whale boats. The
steam generating cylinders can reeist a pressure of
1,000 pounds to the square inch. This innovation
evidently contemplates an abandonment of the old
method of approaching the whale by stealth, and
in a long chase will be a great labor-saving ma
chine, but it is doubtful if the experienced blubber
hunters will trust themselves in a steamboat to tight
whales. Safety in this business depends upon ce
lerity of movement, and while an ordinary whale
boat, managed by skilled oarsmen, would “sta. n
ail’’ and evade the uplifted flukes of the whale, a
sciew steamboat would be knocked higher than a
kite, boiler and alh To tow the whale boats it
would, no doubt, be very serviceable, leaving Jack
in good wind to tackle the fish after he had reached
the scene of action.
Pepper— Pepper is an almost universal condi
ment. Black pepper irritates and inflames the
coatings of the stomach, red pepper does not, it
excites, but does not irritate, consequently it should
be used instead of black pepper. It was known to
the Banians, and has been in use in the
from time immemorial, as it corrects flatulence
which attends the large use of vegetable food.
Persons in health do not need any pepper in their
food. But to those of weak and languid stomachs,
it is manifold more hea.thful to use cayenne pepper
at meals than any form of wine, brandy or beer
that can be named, because it stimulates without
the reaction of sleepiness or debility.— Journal of
Health.

under date of October 8, says that a cargo of slaves
has been landed at San Juan de la Bemedios, from
the brig Abbot Deveroux, which “oetens vely be
longed to an American, glorying under the name of
Dnnkwater, a Portland man, who purchased and
cleared several other vessels. The Deveroux land
ed her cargo without any difficulty, numbering
nearly four nnndred souls, and was destroyed.'’ It
is stated that the captain of the brig received $30,-
000 for the rouud voyage. The writer adds: “The
J. H. Becord, former.y of Newport, and also of
Com. Drink water's fleet, is repo-ted as having
landed her cargo. For this I cannot vouch as yet;
though 1 do not consider it at ail impropablo.”
Short Credits.—The wholesale dealers in silk
and millinery goods in Boston hare come to an
agreement not to give more than four months credit.
There seems to be a general disposition in trade to
shorten credit and get nearer the cash system, the
only safe system for business.

From Havana. —The correspondent of the
Charleston Standard, writing from Havana under
date of October 25, says :
On the 15th inst. we had another slaver intro*
duced to the waters of our port by the Spanish war
steamer Neptune, having on board 540 Africans in
most wretched condition, having been for several
days without food and ou short allowance ot water.
The name of th ; bark we cannot ascertain. She
was built in Baltimore, and we understand fitted
for the voyage in New York. The officers and
crew, all Spaniards and Portuguese, were permit
ted to leave in the ship’s boats after capture, by the
officers of the prize, and are now in this city and
vicinity. The negroes have been distributed to tiie
various public works, iu consummation of the latest
poliey of this government in relation to these
“Emaucipados,” who are never to see the freedom
which they claim.
Our business continues very favorably, consider
ing the condition of affairs in the United States,
and we have had r.o failures or suspensions to note
until yesterday—the house of Brudes & Cos , for lia
bilities, said to be, ou tho street, from $500,000 to
$1,200,000. The house is new, and Ido not think it
possibly can be involved intsuch a heavy amount.—
The assets will not be large, in proportion to any
amount that may appear, as the debt is incurred by
dabbling in our new stock creations—where fancy
had all, and reality nothing. We have heard inti
mations of oue or two other concerns trembling,
but they will not be of much consequence should
they go by the board—their indebtedness is hero,
and to persons who have the wealth to endure any
loss that may befall them. Another week of trial
may bring us to a clearer sky and better times;
but we have, at least, money enough to pay for all
the rice, lumber, pitch, &c., that we require for the
sustainment of life or comfort. We have really no
quotations for anything, except articles for con
sumption and freights.
The Utah Troops. —Tin; War Department is in
receipt of despatches from the Utah expedition,
the first received since their departure from Fort
Leavenworth. Considerable uneasiness had been
entertained by the Department respecting these
troops. The despatch received is from Lieutenant
E. B. Alexander, commanding Tenth Infantry.—
He says:
I respectfully submit the following remarks upon
the march of the eight oompanies of the Tenth In
fantry under my command from Fort Leavenworth
to this place, a distance of six hundred and twenty
five miles. The battalion started from Fort Leaven
worth on the 18th of July, and being composed
mainly of recruits, the length of the marches for the
first four or five days was inconsiderable, not ex
ceeding teu or twelve miles. The men, however,
became accustomed to marching very soon, and un
less the heat was powerful very few fell out. The
march across the prairie country from Fort Leaven
worth to the Platte river was made within the time
allowed by Gen. Harney’s orders, and was, per
haps, the most exempt from loss and accident ever
known. Willi a train of ninety-seven wagons and
over six hundred auimals, but five mutes have been
lost—one by straying and four by death—and not a
wagon has been broken. The journey along the
Platte was one of great ease, as the road is good and
grass abundant everywhere. The men and animals
improved in strength remarkably. The sick report
has never exceeded twenty, and has averaged
twelve. This, in a command of five hundred, is
very small. No serious sickness has prevailed,
though four cases of billious fever, produced by
treat alterations of temperature and miasma of the
Platte bottom, have occuired. These cases the As
sistant Surgeon has reoouimended to be left at this
>ort. Col. Hoffman having kiudly consented, I
lave determined to leave them until the two com
panies under the command of Col. Smith come up,
when they can be brought on.
The order of march has been strictly preserved,
and the column marched by platoon ponts with reg
ular intervals, at.the rate of ninety-six or one hun
dred steps per minute. The camping arrangements
have aleo been as regular as the ground would ad
mit, Having in view the proper guard over the
mules and wagons. I have adopted the plan of de
tailing a company for guard, and posting it in the
most convenient place, by which the commander is
enabled to post pickets and seutinels so as to guard
every approach. This plan saves many details, les
sens labor, and excites a spirit of emulation which
insures great vigilance.
The officers of the command have attended faith
fully to their duties, and many have Shown great
powers of enduring fatigue, being on foot all the
time. On the sth the march te Utah will be re
sumed ; and although the accounts of the road aB
regards grass will make it more difficult than any
thing we have yet experienced, 1 hope to give a fa
vo-ab'e report upon my arrival at Salt Luke City.
I may be excused in expressing the pride I feel
in the successful accomplishment, by my regiment,
of to muoh of its first arduous duty; and 1 confi
dently express the belief that unless some very un
forseen accident occurs, it will reach the Teriitory
of Utah in a condition of perfect efficiency and dis
cipline.
Hard Times among the New England Facto
ries.—The Lowell (Mass.) Courier, from personal
inquiries of the officers of the different companies,
presents the following view of the different manu
facturing corporations in that city:
The Hamilton Manufacturing Company are run
ning 13,000 out of-18,000 spindles, and run but five
days in each week. The print works are in full ope
ration, but run only five days. On the Appleton
two thirds of the works are in operation, but they
run only five days per week.
The Lawrence have stopped 650 out of 1.820
looms, and expect to stop 125 more within a short
time, They are now running six days, but expect
soon to stop one day per week. Notice has been
given that there would be a reduction in the price
of labor, but the per cent has not been fixed upon.
The looms stopped on this corporation were those
on which heavy cloths were made, so that the re
duction in the number of pounds manufactured is
nearly one-half.
On the Suffolk one-half of the works are stopped,
and the others run six days per week. They have
not reduced the price of labor, but expect to very
soon.
The whole number of looms on the Tremont is 760,
of which they have stopped 374. They have re
ceived notice that the wages will reduced 121-2 per
cent, commencing on the November payment.
On the Merrimac one mill, in which sheetings
have been made, is stopped. All the other works
are running six days per week. They have reduced
the price of labor, but the redaction is not the same
on all the work. It is from 10 to 16 per cent, and
will ake effect in November.
All the mills on the Boott are stopped, and we
could not learn when they are to start up again.
On the Massachusetts 350 out of 1527 looms are
stopped, and the others are running but four days
per week.
On the Prescott 1630ut of 671 looms are stopped,
and the others are running but four days per week.
Os the Middlesex Company we are authorised to
make no statement, except that they have not yet
decided what they shall ao.
Ihe Lowell Company have stopped all their cot
ton works. Something more than three-lburths of
tbe works in the carpet department are runningfive
days in the week. This company has also given no
tice that the wages will be reduced. The reduetion
will not be uniform, but varies on different kinds of
woik.
An English Triblte to Capt. Herndon. —Tbe
Liverpool Poet pays the following tribute to the
bravery of our lamented countryman :
While the heart swells with pride at the recite’ of
deeds of heroism done by our countrymen in India,
it is no less grateful to see, equally high qualities
manifested under difficulties by our kindred men
beyond the Atlantic. The wreck of the Central
America, fatal and painful as it was, presents in
stances of composure, eooiness, consideration, and
. real heroism, which dignify humanity. The cap
tain of the Til-fated vessel was truly of a noble na
ture. He died in the discharge of a duty which he
might have in part neglected with impunity; hut in
him the finest part of ancient chivalry appeared.
In the presence of peril, the women and children
were his first oare. He prepared to enforce this in
tention, but it was unnecessary. The passengers
and crew were as resolute, determined and humane
as himself -, they seconded him in everything, and
even the women were reedy to do the work of men
in aiding him. Some time ago, Captain Hail, we
think it was, wrote the account of two wrecks—an
English and a French vessel. The conduct of the
Englishman contrasted finely with the Frenchman;
they were obedient and fearless. Capt. Herndon
and his men behaved not less nobly ; and their con
duct and the conduct es the passengers speak irre
sistibly in favor of the high toße of tbe American
mind. Their country ought to be proud of them;
all Christendom wifi praise them.

Edward Everett on Agriculture.
Hon. Edward Everett delivered an Address be
l fore the New Y'ork State Agricultural Society, at
Buffalo, on Friday, the 9th instant. It closes with
the following eloquent and instructive paragraphs :
A greater than Burke in this country, our own
peerless Washington, with a burden of publio care
on his mind such as has seldom weighed upon any
other person,—conscious, through a considerable
part of his career, that the success not only of the
American Revolution, but of the whole great ex
periment of republican government, was dependent
in no small degree upon his eouree and conduct, —
yet gave throughout his life, in time of peace, more
of his time and attention, as he himself in one of
his private letters informs us, tothesuper ntendence
of his agricultural operations, than to any other
object. “It will not be doubted,” says he, in his
htot annual message to Congress, (7th of Deoember,
L9b,) “that with reference either to individual or
national welfare, agriculture is of primary impor
tance. In proportion as nations advance in popula
tion aud other circumstances of maturity, this
truth becomes more apparent, and renders the cul
tivation of the soil more and more an object of
public patronage * * *
Among tho means which have been employed to this
end, none have been attended with greater success
than the establishment of boards, charged with
collecting and diffusing information, and enabled,
by premiums and small pecuniary aids, to encourage
aud assist a sprit of discovery and improvement.”
On the 10th of December, 1799, Washington ad
dressed a long letter to the manager of hisfai ms
the last elaborate production of his pen,—transniit
iug a plan, drawn up on .hirty written folio pages,
containing directions for their cultivation for seve
ra. years to come. Iu seven days trom the date of
this letter his own venerated form was “sown a
natural body, to be raised a spiritual body.”
Nearly all the successors of Washington in the
Presidency ot the United States, both the deceased
and the living, passed, or are passing, their closing
years m the dignified tranquility of rural pursuits
One of the most distinguished of them, Mr Jefler
son, invented the hill side plow. Permit me also to
dwell tor a moment on the more recent example of
the four great statesmen of the North, the West,and
the South, whose names are the boast and orna
ment of the last generation, Adams, Calhoun, Clay
and Webster, who forgot the colossal anxieties, the
stern contentious, the herculean labors, and the
thankless sacrifices of the publio service, in tbe re
tirement of the country and the calm aud healthful
pursuits of agriculture. One of these four great
men it was not my fortune personally to behold in
the enjoyment of these calm aud national pleasures;
but I well remember hearing him say, with a radiant
countenance, that there was nothing in the triumohs
or honors of publio lite so grateful to his feelings” as
his return to his home in Carolina, at the close of
the session of Congress, when every individual on
hie plantation, not excepting the humblest, came
out to bid him welcome and to receive the cordial
pressure of his hand. 1 was often the witness of the
heartfelt satisfaction which Mr. Adams enjoyed on
his ancestral acres, especially iu contemplating the
trees planted by himself, thousands of which are now
scattered over the estate. While he ministered iu
this way to the gratification aud service of other
times, he feit that he was discharging no small por
tion of the debt which each generation owes to its
successors. At Ashland, in 1829, I rode over his
extensive farm, with the illustrious orator and states
man of the West; and as the “ swinish multitude,”
attracted by the salt which he liberally scattered
from his pocket, came running about us, iu the
beautiful woodland pasture, carpeted with that fa
mous Kentucky blue grass, he good huinoredly com
pared them to the office-seekers, who hurry to Wash
ington at the commencement of an administration,
attract ed by the well flavored relish of a good salary.
Mr. Webster, reposing on bis farm at Marshfield,
from the toils of the forum, and tho confliots of the
Senate, resembled the mighty ocean which, after as
sauitiug the cloudy battlements of the sky, with all
the seething artillery of Lis furious billows, when the
gentle southwest wind sings truce to the elemental
war, calls home his rolling mountains to their peace
ful levely, aud mirrors the gracious heavens in his
glassy bosom. * * * *
One more suggestion, my friends, and I relieve
your patienoe. Asa work of art, I know few
things more pleasing to the eye, or mere capable of
affording scope and gratification to a taste for the
beautiful, than a well situated, well cultivated farm.
The man of refinement will hang with no ver-wearied
gaze on a landscape! by Claude or Salvator; the
price of a section of the most fertile land in the
West would not pureba e a few square feet of the
canvass on which these great artists have depicted
a rural scene. But nature has forms and proper
tious beyond the painter's skill; her diviue pencil
touches the landscape with living lights and Bhadows
never mingled on his pallet. What ia there on
earth which can more entirely charm the eye, or
gratify the taste, than a noble farm ? It stands upon
a southern elope, gradually rising with variegated
ascent from the plain, sheltered from the north-wes
tern winds by woody heights, broken here aud there
with moss-covered boulders, wliich impart variety
And strength to the outline. The native forest has
been cleared from the greater part of the farm, but
a suitable portion, carefully tended, remains in
wood for economical purposes, and to give a pictu
resque effect to the landscape. The eye ranges
three-fonrths of the horizon over a fertile expanse,
—bright with the cheerful waters of a rippling
stream, a generous liver, or a gleaming lake—dot
ted with hamlets, each with its modest spire ;—and,
if the farm lies in the vicinity of the coast, a distant
glimpse from the high grounds of the mysterious,
everlasting sea, completes the prospect. It is situa
ted off the high road, but near enough to tbe village
to be accessible lo the church, school house, the post
office, the railroad, a sociable neighbor, or a travel
ing friend. It consists in due proportion of pasture
and tillage, meadow and woodland, field and gar
den. A substantial dwelling, with everything for
convenience and nothing for ambition, with the
fitting appendages of stable, and barn, and corn
barn, and other farm buildings, not forgetting a
spring-house with a living fountain of water, — iccu
pies upon a gravelly knoll, a position well chosen
to command the whole estate.
A few acres on the front, and oh the sides of the
dwelling, set apart to gratify the eye with tbe
ohoicer forms of rural beauty, aro adorned with a
stately avenue, with noble solitary trees, with
graceful clumps, shady walks, a velvet lawn, a
brook murmuring over a pebbly bed, here and there
a grand rock, whoso cool shadow at sunset streams
across the field; all displaying, in the real loveliness
of nature, the original of those landscapes of which
art in its perfection strives to give the counterfeit
presentment. Animals of select breed, such as Paul
Potter, and Morland, and Landseer, and Rosa Bon
heur never painted, roam tire pastures or fill the
hurdles and the stalls; the plough walks in rustic
majesty across the plain, and opens the genial bo
som of the earth to the sun aud air; nature’s holy
sacrament of seed-time is solemnized beneath the
vaulted cathedral sky; silent dews, and gentle I
showers, and kindly suushine, shed their sweet in
fluence on the teemping soil; springing verdure
clothes the plain ; golden wavelets, driven by the
west wind, run over the joyous wheat field ; the tall
maize flaunts in her crispy leaves and nodding tas
sels—while we labor and while we rest, while we
wake and while we sleep, God’s chemistry, which,
we cannot see, goes on beneath the clouds; myriadß
and myriads of vital cells, ferment with elemental
life ; germ and stalk, and leaf and flower, and silk
aud tassel, and grain and fruit, grow up from the
common earth; the mowing-machine and the reap
er-mute rivals of human industry—perform their
gladsome task; the well-piled wagon brings home
the ripened treasures of tne year; the bow of pro
mise fulfilled spans the foreground of the picture,
aud the gracious covenant is redeemed, that while
the earth remaineth, summer and winter, and heat
and cold, and day and night, and seed time and har
vest shall not fail.
Montgomery Race — Tuesday. —The first day’s
race—mile heats, best two and three—brought toge
ther a considerable crowd. At the tap, there came
to the score, Dr. Cassey's ch. g. John Chain, Messrs.
Hunters’ ch. f. Corinne, Gen. C. Robinson’s b. f.
Mary Myers, and Mr. Hereford’s b. c. Kolia.
The Georgia horse was the favorite, though the
two Alabame fillies were not without friends. Neith
er of them, however, was on her beßt foot. When
the nags came to the score, it somehow happened
that they all got away without waiting for the tap.
Thus it happened, that at the very outstart, the
only amendment made to the Metairie rules, by
our Club, was brought into practical operation.
John Chain ran nearly half round the course; while
waiting for him, the Judges allowed the horses at
the post to be clothed.
A pretty start was got, and it in ‘'ediately be
came manifest that John Chain wasto take the heat.
Corinne made the play at him for it; Mary Myers
was next; while Kolia was distanced. Time Ist
heat 1 :48j.
The second heat was but a repetition of the first,
save that Mary Myers changed places with Corinne,
coming in second, while the Georgian took the heat
and race with ease, in 1:483.

The Flower Growing from a Tumefaction.
—We mentioned, a few days since, the ease of the
lad Northrop, at Ithaca, upon whose deieaeed limb
there grew a singular formation, like to the passion
flower. Dr. Hawley, formerly of Geneva College,
has written a more detailed account of this case.—
The lad is from 13 to 14 years old, and has been sub
ject totendernes- and disease of the hip joint, which
at two years of age, resulted in extensive tumefac
tion ; three years later an abscess was formed, and
finally the disease caused the dislocation of the hip
joiuie. For four months the patient had been una
ble to move an inch in bed; abscesses have formed
in tbe abdomen, through which the fecal contents
of his intestines aro discharged; and his nervous
sensitiveness has been Buch that he would allow no
one to touch him or make an investigation, and
walking acroos the floor has caused him to cry with
pain. Thu- prolengation of his life wae regarded as
a miracle. On the 4th inst., there was projected
from the right limb, wLieh fra long time bad been
greatly swol'en, a stem, on the inner side, at the
edge of Ihe ifaatroenemioa muscle, rising at right
angles with it, more than seven inches in height,
with a flower squarely set up it, resemblin ; the
Passion Flower, or the China Aster. On Wednes
day the boy felt an oozing from what bad been ex
pected to be an abscess, and expressed great relief.
He did not permit any examination until Saturday
afternoon, when a stein was seen arising at right
angles with the limb, at about the height of three
inches, crowned with pure whi.e buds, resembling
the white buds of the orange! On being exposed
to the light, the flower expanded, and assumed the
color of a beautiful grayish purple.— Rock. Dem.
Balloon Ascension.— Mr. Samuel Wilson, a
successful aeronaut, propdSee,U assisted by the peo
pie of Charleston, to give an ascension, on or about
the period of our coming Fair. Beside the offer of
such a rare attraction aud aumsemen t, he desires
to appropriate a liberal proportion of the receipts as
a benefit to the Mount Vernon and Calhoun Monu
ment causes. He will wait upon our citizens to
obtain subscriptions and sell tickets—the latter at
fifty cents; half price for children tinder 14. If be
can raise means enough within a week to cover the
expenses, he will promptly proceed with his prepa
rations, which require the remaining time.

The New-York Earthquake.— I The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser of 6ct. 24, giveg the follow
ing account of the late earthquake there:
“ These be parlous times.’* Already stricken by
panic from causes above ground, the deep fottnda
Sd 6 e rth have shaken beneath us ;we have
ea u the roar of the pent-up forces hid within this
eggshell ot a world, and felt thek billows roll along
toe frond ground. That is we have had an earth
quake.
About JJ P. M., yesterday—everybody knows the
time, for it was just after bank hours—there came a
shock, apparently lrom the southeast, which people
at once recognized as earthquake. Those walking
on the street did not feel it; those &tandin°* still felt
the jar of the ground beneath them, and looked to
see what furious driving omnibus made such a noise.
But in buildings there was a fright.. Those on the
ground floor felt the jarring and waving of the walls,
and saw crockery dancing on the dinner tables, chi
na rattling in the closets, stove-pipes tin one in
stance) falling, while in another a dilapidated chim
ney parted with a few of its topmost bricks.
Th^farther up from the ground the greater the
shock. In the-fourth and fifth stories there was a
sensible tottering of brick walls, and tools rolled
from the benches of workmen to the floor. There
was a general scamper to the street , and for a mo
ment all manner of questions about what hogshead
of sugar had broken loose, what jib-boom of a vessel
run into water-side buildings, what, fire-proof safe
had fallen, what boiler had burst, or what powder
magazine had blown up 1 But the borborymous
(look at the dictionary) mutterings from the bowels
of our common mother explained the thing, and all
settled down on one conclusion—we had had an
earthquake.
There were some incidents, funny enough now,
but people forgot to laugh at them at the time. At
the Court House a trial was in progress. At that
point the shock was so decided and startling that
the last trump could not have emptied the room
sooner. It was a general stampede. Out rushed
the audience, with it went the lawyers, over railings
went the jury, regardless of their solemn oath to
“well and truly try,” and after them came the con
stables, all pouriug down the stairs into the street,
with pallid faces and shaking knees, while in ono
case a person fainted. The only souls left in the
court room were the- judge upon the bench, Mr.
Haven one of the counsel in the case, as imper
turbable as is his wont, a young lawyer who never
gets in a hurry, and the witness on the stand, who
was bound to die at his post.
,lu the school houses, school was very summarily
dismissed, and it is fortunate that no accident oc
curred in the sudden rush.
So much for incidents. The duration of the shock
was probably fifteen or twenty seconds. It was
by far the most severe ever felt in this was
universally ditiueedover the city, and was so start
ling as to spread a momentary but serious conster
nation. Invalids, particularly, suffered from the
alarm and excitement of the moment.
The Republic says :
“One lady, on Michigan street, was so frightened
that she lmd 30 fits in succession, and has since died.
A warehouse, on the pier, had tbe foundation
shaken from under il. Feople were much fright
ened and astonished, and as might be expected,
speculate and talk much about it.”
The Lockport Journal says :
“A distant shock of an earthquake, accompanied
with a rumbling sound, occurred yesterday (Fri
day) afternoon at 3i o’clock. The inmates in many
houses on the back streets were alarmed by the
movements of utensils, the rattling of dishes, and
disruptions of furniture generally. The shock was
noticed by hundreds of observers in this village, in
the Lower Town, and at Wright’s Corners, and so
far as we have heard from, in various localities
throughout the country. The shock extended over
a large portion of the c untry, as will be noticed by
our telegraphic despatches. At Tonawauda aud
Buffalo it was particularly severe.”
Wreck of the Reindeer—Shocking Loss of
Life.— . Monday last may be set, down as one of the
most fatal days in the yea*—fatal.to life and pro
perty both on land water. In the morning upward
of twenty iiyes were lost by a dreadful aonfUgra
tion. and before night upward of twenty more lives
lay coki m the embrace of death on the shores of
Lake Michigan. It was a hard day on the lakes.—
It blew a most terrible gale, with a heavy, blinding
snowstorm. We hear of it along Lake Michigan,
up Lake Superior, and cun trace it by its work of
disaster along the smres of the lower lakes. It. was
only yesterday, however, that we realized to the full
extent the severity of the gale.
About noon of yesterday tbo propeller Mears ar
rived in port from Big Point Sauble, bringing intel
ligence of the wreck of the Canadian steamer Rein
deer, about eight miles north of the Point. She also
brought over Chas. Rowe, the mate of the schooner
Alwildnr— also lost—who communicated to us some
ot the particulars. On Tuesday last two men arri
ved at Point Sauble almost naked, and their feet
badly irozen, who informed the people of the n* igh
borhood that they were firemen on board the Rein
deer, and that they were the sole survivors of the
entire crew, she having been wrecked the previous
evening. They stated that nil day Monday a most
terrific ale blew from 8. 8. W., suddenly shifting
to all points of the compass with a tremendous sea
running. The steamer kept up pretty well all the
forenoon, but in the afternoon she shipped a heavy
sea, winch extinguished the fires, aud the Captain
had no resource left but to set the helm up and
make for the beach. For several hours-in the even
ing the hurricane and snow storm increased in fury
and it was utterly impossible to see or do anything.
Those on board ooula only await with anxiety the
fate which they knew awaited them. At length,
somewhere about midnight, the steamer struck, and
almost instautly the sea broke over her, aud wash
ed the whole crew into the lake, where twenty-one
of them found watery graves. The two men who
escaped were firemen, aud they state that they are
utterly unable to relate how aud in what manner
they were saved. The first they knew after she
struck was when they found themselves on the rocky
beach. Next day the steamer was nearly all brok
en to pieces, and her timbers and cargo were strewn
along the shore for miles.
The Reindeer was a side wheel steamer, ; known
here by sailors as a “Polly-wog.” She was ’ owned
by Iloloomb At Henderson, of Montreal, and sailed
from tills port on the lfifh inst., with 43,000 bushels
wheat, 61 barrt-hcof tallow, ami some flour for Bt.
Joseph, where she was to take on some flour and
then start for Kingston. She had a crew of twenty
one and two passengers. The name of the captain
was Geo. Patterson, a Scotchman, who belonged
to Kingston. lie was much respected by all who
knew him. The name of the steward was James
Henery and that of the purser, Charles Bradford ,*
but these are all the name j which can be obtained
of the agent of the steamer at this port. She was
eight to ten years old, and was valued at from fif
teen to twenty thousand dollars. The cargo was
owned by Renaud & Frere, of Montreal. Both
vessel ana cargo were insured.
The propeller Wisconsin, Captain Hickey, arriv
ed here on Thursday evening from Ogdensburgh.
On Monday last he had to put into the Manitous,
where kefouudthe propellers Racine and May
flower. Two sail vessels were thought to have gone
ashore at Glen Hai bor, nearly opposite the South
Maniton Island. They were seen for some time
attempting to make the harbor, but they disappear
ed and itia feared they were lost.
The schooner L. Whitney is reported lost on the
east shore of Lake Michigan No particulars.
Some fears are entertained regarding the pro
pellers Pot omac and lowa, which would have to
encounter the gale jn all its fury on Lake Huron.
They left the Manitous on Sunday evening.
The gales on Lakes Erie, Ontario and Huron has
been also very severe.— Chicago Press of the 2 Uh. *
A Broker’s Agent in .Difficulty. — A few days
ago, an agent for one of our prominent broker firms
presented some Kentucky notes at the counter of
the bank, in one of the river towns in Kentucky,
and politely asked for the specie. The following
colloquy and incidents thereupon turned up :
Officer of the Bank—“ Where are you from TANARUS”
Agent—‘ That is immaterial, sir.”
Officer--“ Are you a broker's agent V’
Agent—“ That’s my business.”
Officer—“ Whose money is this ?”
Agent—“ Mine, aud I wish to know whether you
will redeem it, or whether you are broke V’
Hereupon the officer consulted with other offi
cers of the bank and in a few moments afterwards
the specie was counted out in half dimes, dimes,
quarters and half dollars. The agent was slightly
nonplussed for an instant, not being provided v/ith
a black carpet-brig, but observing a suspicious
gathering of outsiders in the banking-room he found
there was no time to be lost and immediately com
menced stuffing the precious but troublesome metal
into his belt. That tilled, he stowed more into his
breeches pockets until they protruded like the joles
of a China pig. Next he filled his coat pockets un
til they were distended like an Alderman’s paunch,
and there being still more left, he was fain to con
tent himself by thrusting the balance in his bosons
until he looked as full breasted as a thorough bred
short-horned bull.
A dozen or more excited fellows of the town,
very respectable looking personages withal, had by
this time surrounded the agent ar and manifested A
determination to bar his exit from the bank, and
sternly indicated a desire that he should “shell out. 7 *
Being a plucky fellow, the agent simply remarked,
“Gentlemen, you will oblige me by permitting me
to retire.” No one moved. The latter reiterated
his desire with a slight emphasis, approaching a de
mand. Still no one moved. The agent now per
ceiving the futility of amiable requests, simply •
drew out a Bowie, and remarked quietly, but witn
a smack of ugliness, “You will please to get out of
my way, lam going out of that door.” He went.
When he got into the street, liowever, he was beset
with other annoyances. The populace jeered and
threatened him. Home proposed to egg him, and
to compel him to “shell out,” at all hazards. All
remained a convenient distance from him, however.
iMeantime, his breeches pocket, unaccustomed to
euch tremendous strains, began to yield, and the
ageut, feeling the weight, of his rcßjxniHimlities ac
cumulate, got anxious and began to bweat.
At every step somebody rushed at him. At last
he was compelled to use both hands in sustaining his
pockets, and so be plodded through the streets of
the town until he arrived at tbe hotel where he so
journed. There he was comparatively ease, and
had opportunity.to procure convenient means for
carrying Ids troublesome load. The people of the
town also refrained. from farther threatening de
monstrations, and the agent left rejoicing at bis es
cape. He states that it is quite natural to suppose
that his nervona system was considerably excited.

a Conscience.— A few days since Mr.
a rVi Duncan, a wholesale silk merchant on
KlSed a letter that Had been ad
dressed to him at Princeton, Hy., h:a former place
of residence. Enclosed was a remittance and a
very singular statement. It was to tbe effect that
some twenty five years ago the writer of the letter
had forged an order signed by a Mr. Hunter, and
it procured some goods of *lr. Duncan. Conscience
had at last aroused him to a sense of tbe sin be bad
committed, aud he returned tbe ernount with inter
rest. The letter displays unusual intelligence, and
was evidently written by some person who is now
a professional man. Mr. Duncan has generously
donated this conscience money to tbe Amerioaa

Montgomery and Pensacola Railroad.—We
leern, from a conservation with Samuel G. Jones,
Esq , Chief Engineer and Superintendent of the
Montgomery ana Pensacola K inroad, that 21 miles
of the Boad wifi be in running order in the course of
tbe ensuing week, and that in a very short time he
will have enough of it in runuieg order to plane
them ont of tbe praiiies, through which a
great portion of the Road, now completed, runs. We
also learn from him that a large shipment of iron for
this Road bas been made from Europe, but owing to
the stringency of monetary affairs be fears that they
wilt not be able to meet tbe payment, which will
necessitate its going into bond, from which he
thinks it can speedily be relieved, from tbe securi
ties Uiat the Company can furnish. Ho tb'nks the
stringency of the money market will operate to some
I extent against the progress of Uie Road, but ex*
| presses strong hopes that they will be able to push it
I forward to a speedy oompletiom—C'o/umhw ott*.
