Deneription of the Mormon Fortification* at
Echo Canon.
A correspondent of the New York Times who
! accompanied the Army on its march from Fort
Bndger to Ba!t Lake City, jpvea an intereatiiife- a<-
{
j therein:
We entered the celebrated Echo Canon 17 miles
j , ‘l 1 .”. fear “ Ver it i* at this point that the travel
j ler fairly ctrik.es the passes of the Wasatch r*nge,
j at, d outers upon the most beautiful and Bublimest
I ceecery to be found between the Missouri and the
\ ; dley of Great Salt Lake. Echo Canon, at its
eastern extremity, is a pretty valley, from 150
yards in width—ae well as I could estimare
it—-inclosed by eteep rocky hills on either .-dde,
their summit crowned with scattering dwarfed ce
llars. This valley is plentifully watered throughout
its entire length by Echo Canon Creek, fed by nu
merous spr.ngs of delightful water trickling from
tne hills, generally on the south side of the road,
S t en *t its western extremity into the
W eber R.ver. If I mistake not, the popular idea
inis canon at the East is, that it is a great rocky
gorge, wish perpendicular walla on either side, aucl
ho narrow that a stone dropped from the clifi on
either side, must necessarily fall at thj feet of the
trave.ler passing along the road.
Nothing could be further from the truth. At no
single point of the canon does this description hold
good. The mountains ou one side or the other have
a t'iope, though exceedingly steep as a general rula,
from one end ot the pass to the other. Occasion
ally ? here is a j.uipt where the road and the creek,
with its luxuriant fringe of young widows—close as
a Mexican chapparal—occupies the entire width cf
the valley—but generaUy the valiey will measure
from fori yto cne hundred yards lrom the base of
one mil to mat of the elevation ou the opposite side.
The mountain elevation are irregular, creased oc
casionally by great ravines sloping rapidly tov.arda
the creek from points of the ridges lying perhaps
half a mile further back than those whicb airectiy
overlook the valley. These ravines, as a general
thing, form available though rugged and arduous
avenues, by which pedestrians may reach Lbe
heights on either hand. Generally they would be
found altogether impassable for horsemen, all hough
once in a while paths can be found by which eavnl
ry could slowly asceua to the summit and tiauk the
road. Upon the crests of the hiils the country is
Comparatively smooth, so that troops of auy de
eoription could traverse them with little difficulty,
after once gaining the neights.
About five miles within the eastern end of the
Canon, we panned some deserted huts, which had
been occupied as an outpost of the Mormon militia,
and camped for the night a mile or so beyond them.
Daylight comes very early in this country, and at
mi i season We can see to read out of doors until
e got or half-past eight iu the evening, and our twi
.;gbt may still be traced over the western horizon
a! 10 or 11 o’clock ou a clear night. Three o’clock
n the morning ushers in the day, and by 4 the sun
begins to gild the hill tops with his effulgent, rays.
Half-past 3 o’clock on the morning of the lbth found
us up, in ample season to witness the most gorgeous
sunrise that I ever beheld. Old Sol, though busily
engaged in tinging a bank of clouds which appear
od to be nestling in a depression of our mountain
walls, did not beam his rays down upon the bosom
of the valley until we were miles upon our way
again. We passed full fifteen miles into the Canon
before we came across any of the Mormon fortifica
tions of which we had heard so much. Tne Cauon
here becomes narrower, the mountains rising to a
great height ou both sides—in some places as we es
timated, to fifteen hundred or two thousand feet
above the bed of the creek.
On the southern side the heights slope to the val
ley, and are covered with verdure. On the north
i hey rise in a perfect wa:l of rock, rising in many
Plazes almost, perpendicularly from 800 to 1000 teet.
This wall is bioken by ravines, however, every few
hundred yards, into distinct cliffs, which jut out in
craggy points, facing the road at obtuse angles in
either direction. Upon these jutting points we saw
the first “iortifications,” consisting of walls of loose
.-lone, laid up without mortar, and pierce l with
loop holes at tegular intervals. These walls or
breastworks were perched upon everyjuttiDg crag
i -r the distance of a mile or more, aud here
here nd there were piles of loose stoue, apparently
designed to be hurled upon the heads of travellers
along the road below. Soon after turning a bend
in the canon we came to a point at which all the
willows in the creek bottom had been cut away and
the whole pl/ict cleared.
A short distance further on a dam had been
thrown up across the entire width of the cannon.—
This dam, or breastwork, some five feet high, was
formed of the d.rt thrown out of a ditch about five
feet deep and ten feet wid9. The ditch was tilled
with water. The road crossed it upon a temporary
bridge, which could be easily thrown down. The
dam was quite substantial. A sluiceway at the end
opposite the bridge, or ou the south aide, provided
a free passage for the water of the creek, for the
time being; but near by it lay an abundance of
material with wh'ch it was the evident design to
close up the sluiceway upon the approach of the
t roops, ao as to flood the valley with the waters of
the creek, and thus form a large pond in front of the
breastwork. About two hundred yards further
another breastwork and ditch had been constructed
from the creek to a rock, near the base of the pre
cipice. Sufficient space was left, however, between
the rocks and the precipice, to admit of the passage
of the w’Hgon trains. It is evident that the purpose
of this second darn and * itch was to compel the
trains to pass close under the cliff which had probab
ly been mined.
Fifty yards from the west was another dam and
ditch which crossed by a bridge, designed to over
llow the bottom up to the second darn, and thus
prevent a train from crossing to the other side to
avoid the mined precipice. A hundred and fifty
yards further west we came upon the last dam and
breastwork. Here, evidently, the Mormon militia
had conteirplated making their most desperate
stand, for here were their most extensive works.—
The road turns a little to the southward, for a few
hundred yards, rising over a gentle ewell of land
leaving the creek bottom to the right, filled with a
luxuriant growth ot willows from six to ten feet
high, and thick enough to screen any object of less
height beyond them. The dam crosses the entire
cannon just east of the point where the road, in
turning southwa and, crosses the valley, and would
raise the water to a depth of six or 6ight feet. Just
below it a transverse cannon, or gorge, enters the 1
maid cannon from the heights on either side, and j
directly opposite to each other. The road crossing -
the main cannon here ran along a sort of bank form- j
ed lrom the sand which had washed down the gorge I
on the southern side, and extended itself half way i
across the bottom. The waters rushing down from
the northern gorge, during the season of high
water, had scooped outa gully on the northern
half of Echo Canon.
By taking advantage of these natural formations,
a little labor sufficed to make a tine breastwork on
the southern edge of the road, a hundred feet or so
i n length and about eight feet Ligh. The side, gorges
already referred to, widen the valley here to abou’
three hundred yards Breastworks had also been
thrown across these gorges at a right-angle with the
dam and breastwork On the sides of the steep
hills on the south of the canon, overlooking the gorge,
ditches had been dug, and breastworks thrown up
in front at different heights. These breastworks—
behind which hundreds ot riflemen might be posted
—command the entire works below •, but as each
upper line of works command the one next below
it, allot them would be completely at the mercy of i
a fiankiug party taking possession of the summit of
the hill. On the* sotytheru side, also, every availa
ble point, not fully protected by nature, was forti
fied by a sto e wall similar to those already des
cribed—some of them so distant froqj the road,
however, that it was no easy task to be certain of
their character.
1 have already remarked tuat tfie road at this
point rises over a swell of land. This is true of the
road for perhaps three quarters of a mile below the
last mentioned daiu. The northern half of the ca
non, iu consequence of this rise or “bench,” be
comes a deep glen the precipice on thi side rising
t,roi,” the bed of the creek. Iu the bottom of the
glen, adjacent to the road and the largest breast
work, shelter had been provided Cor
t. rsemen, thoroughly protected lrom cannon tire
We had been informed that a grard were
still stationed here; but three of our parly, u*clu i
ding your ccrr epondent, determined upou an ex j
ploration of the Mormon camp which lay along the j
for some distance west of the last ditch. Leav- 1
ini* tLe wa dashed through the willows, expect
ing at every be met by the challenge ot the
guard. In this wc were disappointed—ao sound
reached our eaie save the murmur of Ijrook and
the echo of our own voices. It was in tin* U,e

circular hoi? w,u, dunr iu the ground of the required
rise for tke of jsdge. Over this excava
tion poles were placed, rising ro 5. £eak at the top,
after the maimer of Indian lodge-poles.
These were interwoven with willow twige, au
thatched with straw, bark and grass. The doors .
wt-re formed of wooden frame work, thatched after i
same plan as the lodges. The dirt thrown from j
thv excavations was generally heaped up around the ■
-base bfYhe fi’h a view to warmth. Many j
of 1 ue~lodges also h&d okax-ey? of sod or rock, bui.t j
on the side of lodges opposite ih.- door. Three •

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MOTNING, JULY *2B, 18.58.
From the. Alta Californian.
The Shipwrecked Japanese.
The Alta of Tuesday made a brief mention of the
rescue of twelve Japanese from a rudderless junk,
by Capt. Winchester of the ship Caribbean, on her
voyage from China to this poi t. Yesterday, accom
panied by Thoro, the Japanese porter of v - *-iis,
Fargo & Cos , Mr. Van Reed, and Capt. Silvey, of
Sweeny &, Baugh's, we paid a vfeit to Capt an W.,
whj is an old trader bet ween our port and China,
hislast being his ninth round voyage. The Carib
bean laid ou r at anchorage off Oiark’s Point, aud
taking boat at Meigs’ wharf, we w ere soon along
side, and wel osßd on de k by Capt. W. himself,
who had but just returned from the city with the
Captain of the Japanese junk—hie first visit ;o an
American, and we may say, civilized city—which
will ever be memorialized from the fact that he had
a daguerreotype likeness taken, which he exhibited
to us with great pride, although evidently astonish
ed and bewildered as to the means of its accom-
plishment.
The Japanese were called upon deck, and reeeiv
ed Thoro Dy bowing, at the same time folding their
hands across the abdomen. They are a fit e looking
body of men, differing in feature, costume and hab
it from the Chinese The majority are poesessed of
regular features, and several are really fine looking,
conspicuous among which class are the captain and
second mate. The first mate partakes of th* Chi
nese type, whilst but one of the cew has the al
mend shaped eye. They were dressed peculiarly,
wearing blue cotton trow sera, ala Chinovs, white
cloth socks, to wuich sandals of straw were attach
ed by a thong passing between the third and fourth
toes and around tbe ankle ; a loose wrapper style Oi
an outer dress, with two or three under garments
seemingly of similar shape, folded across the breast,
the whole held together by a girdle, which at the
same time permits the garments to become the re
positories of tbe various articles and essential por
tables, answering for pockets
Tney wear no cues, but the tap of the is
cleanly ehaveu, allowing an outer edge of the hair I
to grow long which is carefully gathered up over j
the head in a knot, permitting only the centre of the
frontal portion, a continuation of the forehead, to
be exposed. The hair is finer iu text me than that
of the Chinese, and ail their visages were innocent
ot a beard or moustache Captain W. informed us
that they were of very cleanly habits, bathing eve
ry mo mng, and that during the voyage they refused
to associate with the Chinese passengers, and in
using the culinary utensils after them, were very
particular to scour them thoroughly. On the ship
they endeavored to render themselves useful, and
always exhibited great alacrity iu aiding iu the ship's
sailing, by pulling ropes, &c. Although unable to
use any English w ords, from the intelligent expres
sioii of their countenances during the propouu ling
of questions it was evident to us they at least com
prehended the meaning of many.
Previous to giving an account of these strangers
as taken from their own lips, the following extract
from Captain W.'s log will best explain their con
dition :
“May 19, at 4 A. M., fine and clear, saw an object
to windward, which looked like a ship dismasted:
tacked and stood towards her, and made her out
to be a junk, with an old torn sail set standing to
wards us. When about half a mile to leeward of
the juuk, she lowered her sail and put out a canoe
aud came alongside with twelve men and their
luggage. Tney all uncovered their heads aud fell
on their knees, and by signs asked to take them on
board, which we did, although we could not under
stand the r language. One, apparently the cap
tain, wrote on a piece of paper in similar characters
to those of the Chinese, but none of the Chinese
passengers could understand it, save the word Ja
pan. lie then produced a board, with the likeness
of what we knew’ to be bis juuk, ingeniously built,
representing her as ehe appeared alter 3 heavy
typhoon, with her rudder broke masts carried away,
&.C., and a little jury-mast rigged. Sent the mate
on board, and f.-und her as illustrated by her crew
—rudder broke, masts carried away, and every
thing ma disorderly state ; her bottom covered
with barnacles, said to be two feet long, as she had
been tossing about Jor five or six months. We saw
it waa impossible for her crew to take her to land.
She waa laden with wine, oil and barley. Took
seven tubs of the former and ten bags of the latter
as provisions for crew, as they bad doubtless lived
on the same for months.’’
In addition to the above particulars, Captain
W. stated that when they were relieved, the majori
ty were covered with boils, aud were nearly half
blind from their exposure.
With their effects, they brought a quantity of Ja
panese tobacco (which unfortunately they had con
sumed prior to their arrival here,) a compass, a
violin, some littie china ware, the junks papers and
a cat. The compass is iu a small pear wood box,
about the size cf an ordinary inkstand, the needle
being in a sunken cavity in the centre, which is
1 ned with silver foil, and divided into four equal
divisions by two black lines, with the pole marked
by a character. The needle is of iron, shaped some
wtiat similar to the hour hand of an old fashioned
bull’s eye watch, a steel pinion, with a rough brass
head, the whole covered with a glass, set in a brass
rim. The exterior edge of the box is divided into
1 welve compartments each, marked with the Japa
nese planets, and a smaller circle subdivides these
divisions.
The violin is also of pear wood, with a square
end covered like a banjo, with parchment made
of cat fckiu, sc Thoro stated. It has three strings of
colored silk, which are tightened by long fluted
keys, turned in the palm of the hand. Ihe handle
is joined for convenience. This is said to be a
woman’s instrument. The China ware was of or
dinary character, with a design neither chaste nor
elegant, although some might deem it natural. The
junk's papers were contained iu a cedar cabinet,
rather of rough workmanship, and ou the inter
preter’s inspecting them, they were pronounced to
be receipts, invoices ot caigo, commercial letters,
and clearance papers, tholalterextraordinary docu
ments, formidable with gigantic charge.era, and
plentitude of paper. These documents, tbe captain
of the junk placed in Captain W.’s hands, with a
request to take especial caie thereof. The cat wan
also brought forward for inspection. It proved to
be a tabby of respectable size, mottled white and
tortaioe shell, but tailless, if the slight stump ir, had
can be dignified as a caudal extremity. This ani
mal, as Thoro states, eDj: ys tbe name of Miekine
chop in Japanese. In the pronunciation of Jap
anese terms, we give them as they are pronounced,
and not being in possession of a vocabulary, the
reader will please accept them as correct, as tar ae
sound is concerned.
Aided by Thoro, we were duly presented to the
rescued mariners, who, in reply to a request to
narrate their adventures through their captain, fur
nished us the following, which, although elicited by
direct aud frequent questionings, we have placed
in the shape ot a narrative :
Capt. Jchtzabo stated that the junk A-ar-meer,
manned by twelve men, residents of Oali, the Pro
vince of Handar, Japan, left the port ot Isai, bound
to Jeddo on the loth or August last, laden with
rice, barley, wine, hats and lumber. At ‘J o’clock
the ensuing morning they encountered a heavy ty
phoon, aud so desperate were their prospects of
riding it out, ae in its tury the rudder had become
broken, and the vessel almost unmanageable, they
commenced to throw over tbe cargo, at which they
labored for five hours until all were exhausted.
Five hours after they cut away the masts, which
eased the junk, and they bore away at the mercy of
the eiorm and flood. For 24 days they were tossed
about in n succession of etorms, when they hove
overboard a portion ot their lumber, and endeavor
ed to rig jury masts and anew rudder, but another
typhoon swept over them, and as the juDk rolled, so
heavy as to threaten a complete revolution, two an
chors’ attached to two hundred (the interpreter said
two thousand,) fa! horns of hemp-cable, were got out
to keep tbe junk’s head to the sea.
From that time, for over four months, they tossed
about, at the in*rcy of the waves, and having erect
ed jury masts ana mail sail, attempted to reach land ;
but they saw nothing but the wide expanse of wa
ters until the Caribbean hove in sight. Where they
wefe, they haye no knowledge. They were kindly
rescued by Capt. Winchester ; have been k ndly
und conßide*&tey treated, but desire to reach Japan
as soon as possible. In reply to u that
they would have to take a for China, or await a
government vessel, the captain, with Considerable
emphasis, stated that they did not wish to visit
China, but would patiently await direct conveyance
home.
The captain also furnished us with the following
list of the chew, with their ages and families:—
Igbsixabo, captain, aged 3b years, bad wife, two
children’ aud parents living ,Duidho, first mate,
aged :13. had wife and pare., a living; Tsuezaboo,
second mate, aged 29. had wife and parents living ;

relatives when they ldft Japan.
The constant succession of ram sttarus proyided
them with water, which they gathered even when
not necessary, to store tor future wants, whilst

really begin to think that they can spin, and many
of the younger ones would like to learn to spin.
Let the calicoes lie on the shelves and rot. i would
rather build buildings every day and burn them
down at night than have traders here communing
with our enemies outside and keeping up a ieil all
ihe time, aud raising devils to ke.-p it going They
brought their hell with them ; we can have enough
of our own without their help Taisia the deliver

feel ? Better, I presume, than you ever have.
We are able to d* :*od the city and keep out our
enemies, but if we prove to our Father in Heaven
end to one another rha* we are wil iug to hand back
to iiim that which He has given us—which n not
a sacrifice—aud that love not the world nor Ihe
things of the world. Ho will preserve the people
until they can becoin righteous You never heard
me say that wo would slick to this citv, bu> we will
defend ourselves against the floods ot iniquity
which our enemies wish to over vj elm us wi'ti by
the introduction of a lie vticus and corrupted sol
diery. If we vacate the ground, that may satisfy
them ; but if they undertake to come in before we
are ready we will send (hem to their oug home
Some may marvel why the Lord I? ays, “Rather
than fight your enemies, go away. It is because
many ot the people are so grossly wicked, that were
we to go out to tight, thousands ot the eldert- would
go iuto eternity, and women and children would
peri<b. Is every man and woman wicked? No,
ho majority of this people are doing the best they
can ; bur the ignorance of the people is astonishing
Be patient; the Lord is full of mercy and great
kindness, and bears with our woukLuvses, and He
wishes to bear with us until we come to understand
ing—until we know how to be righteous before
lli.n. Ido not want men to go into eternity cloth
ed with unrighteousness. We have talked about
redeeming Z on, but the people are not ye’ righte
ous enough to receive and build up Zion in its pu
rity, though they arc growing to it.
1 have a certain knowledge within me that the
eiders of Israel will never be permitted to lay judge
ment to the line and righteousness to the plu nuiet
with regard to the wicked and ungodly, until they
underst tnd righteous principles aud live to them. —
Ido not care if we live until doomsday und ar
l.unted as long as e live, and go into rhe grave,
inti our eons and daughters come up alter us; if j
they cannot arrive to the knowledge of t;** truth I
they also will have to live in sorrow and > r d/ Uon |
until they are worn out, nr-d another gt mi :>d j
shall come up after them. God is not wil ug that j
unholy hands shall carry out fcis judgment*; in the j
latter days. When men go out to tighr J want |
them to go so fuil of the power of GoJ that balls J
cannot hit them, and that the judgments and mercy j
of the Almighty may rest in their hearts—then they ,
will know what to do.
Let this people go together and be together, and |
let the women say there is such a th’ng as flax and j
such a thing aa a wheel with which to spin it.. That j
makes me think of a young Boston lady ou a visit ;
to the country. She did not wish it known shat she !
was at a 1 eountryfied, but wanted to appear quite j
delicate, aud upon seeing a flock of geese, “O, dear j
me,” said she, “what are those geese?” Some of j
our women are inclined to say, “What do you mean ■
by a spinning wheel ? What do you mean by a j
loom ?” Such are female loafers, who bring up the !
children in idleness and buy starch in t .e stores i
instead of makinr it. Bat now, thank God, there
are no stores in which to buy, and I hope there wil! ;
not be any more here, for it is the conduct of trad- 1
ers, who have fattened in our midst, that has 1
brought an army into our Territory. I would rather ]
see every building and fence laid in ashes than to |
see a trader come iu here with his goods. I want j
you to understand t hat we are in fa vc* of home
manufacture in geod earnest. Raise sheep and flax •
and make cloth, and raise cotton an fast as you can j
and we will try to improve.
I am willing to leave this place, ir I am called :
upou. and to lake joyfully the spoiling of my goods ; ]
it 13 all right. It is a trouble for r.a to taker care of
the property we have, and if 1 knew that ii; wa? !
just as pleasing to the Lord, I would rathev reduce i
it to ashes. We can move chairs, bureau?. <fcc.— ■
“Shall we take out such articles first!” Charge!
your minds with this counsel bishops and nii ciders •
of Israel; tbe articles oi food are the. tir-.t to be 1
moved to safe places. Take rare of the eatables, J
and see that they are well secured, take care of our ;
grain, &c., first, and see that the Indiana cannot get ;
our oxen aud cows; that we will take cave of tbe .
people, and then if wo have time we can move i
more or less of the valuable furniture, ar; i leave ,
our doors, lumber, &(*. Perhaps we may come :
back fiere and perhaps not I would as soon be !
here aa anywhere and anywhere as hero—whero 7o7 j
ihe Lord may require me.
With regard to doctrinal points, that which we :
do not understand should not be talked about in ■
this stand; and the elders of Isreal should never j
contend about any point of doctrine that does not j
pertain to the present day’s salvatiou. Brother |
Hyde has been speaking ot our Father and God . ]
the remarks are very good; but what does the !
point involved in his remarks coicern us ? It is 1
neither here nor there ; and there sre many ideas j
that may be advanced without enlightning our j
minds. When Igo where Joseph is ho w ; il bo the j
President of this dispensation. If he is rhe God i
that stands there, and I do not see any other, it will j
be right, or if Peter is God, all right for be never
will become a God unless he is duly exalted to j
that station. Joseph will not be to th ; -; people, i
u.nbss he is crowned a God ; and if he L, be will be
like the rest of the Gods. And what w.li bp the dif
ference? Suppose that Enoch, Abraham, or M f*es,
be our God, 01 the Prophet Isiah, what is the dJfer
reuce? Who cares? There are many things thv
brethren talk about that are neither here nor ihere i
to us. They had better be looking after a few
potatoes froip which to make starch, ■ r. travr for
bonnets.

A Returning Witness— A very intelligent
African servant, who had enjoyed for years ihe
confidence of his owner in this city, was permitted
to visit New York and the Northern cities in Au
gust, 1857, and was furnished with funds, and with
letters to gentlemen, with request lor all necessary
directions aud assistance. The agents and emissu
nes of mischief, who are pledged to mar, is far as
possible, the substantial happiness of the negro in
Amer ca, alter some time heard of the visit and the
visitor, and assailed him with all their deceptive
and specious Their importunity aud
extravagant aasert-ons finally overcame his dvo
ted and long tried attachment to his owner, and he
absconded, ceasing all communication with tbe
friends aud a quaintances of hi i owner. Traces
and cm sos inf jrmation were however, obtained,
which could have promised a recovery and return
under the iaw, but no resort was made or intended
to this remedy, as the owner expressed his deter
initiation never to receive or re ain any service but
willing service from one who had enjoyed his con
fidence iu such measure.
Aa soon ai the truant and the victim of mischiev
ous interference found himself apparently secure
against legal process, reflection and observation
begaL tbe r work of comparison, and his intelligent
and educated mind was directed to the conditions
and resource* of h 8 race at an-; near his Northern
residence’ a> compared with his experience and re*
collections of home, aud of South ru life. The re
sult wes mt- aud bitter regret, which almost
grew into despair, and issued i< a letter of egnejid
and touchingly ingenuous confession, written by
the errant servaut to his master and owner, beg
gi g p rmtatfion to return.
A proper and suitable reply was sent to the ad
dreer as duec.ed by the servant. The result was
the app a) an'ee aud return of that, servant himself,
who is now at his own old home, with a determina
tion that nothing but deatii sha 1 remove him there
from.
For reasons or obvious considerations, we omit
name and other particulars, but the facts we have
stated may be received with ah confidence by our
readers, and are known to many readers in this city.
The servant himself has reported the case to us,
and his account agrees with that written by him
to his owner, who informed us of the reception of
the letter, aud of the gratified ion it afforded; a gra
tification, we may state, iu which pecuniary consid

Distressing Casualty.—Ou Friday evening,
about 7 o’clock, tiveyouug women, named Asjaval
Van Gilder, aged 14 years; Hannah H. Bryan, 15
years of age; Eden Smith, aged 15; Ma garet
Flynn, aged 16, and Louisa Ever, aged 19 years,
all inmates of tha House -4 Mercy, under the care
of M ss Richmond, in Eighty-six h street, near the
Nor. h river, proceeded to the river for the purpose
of bathing. Atier making the necessary prepara
ti n-, all tbe girls joined hands aud went some qia
tance info the water, but f-eipg unacquainted w ith *
tbe presence of a tew deep holes near the eighty
sixth s*reet dook, they unfortunately got beyond
their depth, and being unable to swim, sank to the
bottom Their situation was witnessed by several
pe r -ou” on shore, who immediately used every pos
sible effort o rescue the girls, but without effeot
at-they were ai’ drowned. Notone ol the bodies
war seen at er first disappearing under the water.—
The probab lity is, therefore, that the unfortunate
girls remained locked in each other’s embrace, and
wi.l be found in that condition.
The facts ot the occurrence roon became known
to Sergeant Slott, of the Twenty second preened
police, who procured six •ffic*rs, procured boats,
grappling irons and'made a thorough search for the
bodies until midnight, but without avail, owing pro
bably to the etrong tide which prevailed at tbe
time At daylight yesterday morning Inspector
Coulter of the Twenty-second precinct, renewed
rbe search, but up to ?>even o’clock A. M. none-of
rhe raiseing bodies had been recovered. It is feared
that the tide has carried the bodies turther out into
the river. The search, however, will be vigorously
continued as loDg as there is aay hope of success.—

A Remarkable Affair.—Under this head the
Sunday Mercury prints the following precious eto
ry, which will do very well for light reading such
hot weather as this :
A Fifth avenue love case has recently come to
light, which throws the most wonderful romance of
ancient times into the shade, and promises some
rich developnments. A younger son of a wealthy
Wall street banker is the happy man who wa9 be
loved by two daughters of an avenue millionaire,
and both were bent upon having him for their lord
and master. But bauker junior had a preference
of his own, and not being a particular favorite with
palter famitias, proposed a midnight elopement.—
Tne favorite fair ouejumpedat the idea, and agreed
to meet him ou a certain evening ou the curb, after
all the family had retired. Her eister overheard
t he proposal and acceptance, and resolved to thwart
her rival, though her projected plan tor so doing was
as curious as ingenious. She followed, and caused a
friend to follow, her sister wherever she went before
the appointed night had arrived, noting carefully
all her actions and purposes. The intended bride
had her suspicions, but they were not very deeply
tired, and hence she was rather careless in her pre
parations. She! bought a dress tor the ocoasion—a
dress ot a peculiar material and bad it made up by a
dressmaker. Her sister being informed of this pro
ceeding, did the same, causing her mantle to be ex
actly modeled after the other ; she also purchased
other things for the same reason, and copied her sis
ter-rival iu everything.
In the room of the bride eloct was a large cheval
glass reaching to the floor, was one of tbe adjuncts
of the toilette, aud a veil of thin lace waa lying over
it, when not in use. On the morning of the appoint
ed day, the scheming siatar <*mwi lo me
v.tv.u wmle its proprietor was riding out, aud by the
aid of her bribed menial, removed the books from
the back of the glass ; she then scraped all the quick
silver lrom the bock of the glass, aud after remov
ing all tracesof her work, left the room. Towards
eveuiog she again stole in, dressed iu a travelling
dress, etc., similar to her sister’s, and concealed her
t eil behind the mirror—being there enabled to sur
vey all that was going on in the room, through the
lace veil, while no one could perceive her, with
out going close to the latter for some special pur
pose.
Soon the bride elect came in, slept a short time
on a lounge, and near 12 o’clock hastily arrayed
herself in the garment she had prepared. She then
went toward the cheval, careless threw aside the
veil, and beheld what she supposed to be her own
reflection. Could it be? Was she her sister in- •
stead of herself? Was it not a delusion ? How
( ame her sinter by that dress ? She moved her
arms, she jumped—the reffaction did the same.—
She was indeed her sister instead of herself, and
lull of this idea, she resolved to fly to her room, lock
the door, and tnrow the key out of the window, so
that no one but herselt should run away with Ban
ker, jr.
Away she darted, half crazed, when her sister
went quietly down to Banker, Jr., palmed herself
off as her sister, was hustled off to the residence of a
certain clergyman, and married in the dark. Next
morning, the poor deluded bride that was to be,
hardly dat ed to look at a mirror ; but when she did
a tearful suspicion flashed across her mind, and off
she went to look at the cheval Then there was a
time Paler famtlias and Mater ditto was called
up and informed that the bird had flown. Nothing
has since been heard of Banker, Jr., and his inge
nious wife, but it is reported that they sailed in the
Persia last trip. The enraged father will start iu
pursuit by the next steamer. Beware of woman’s
cheval-ry.
France and the Slave Trade —The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Commercial Adver
tiser says
The storm i aised in France by the language in the
Hotwe of L >rds od the slave trade has somewhat
subsided. It is a happy, trait in French character
which permite so ready a relinquishment of a disa
yreeablo subject There was a time when the sword
decided all questions of a like character, and when
war would have been the result of such a quarrel.
Lord Malmesbury explained officially the language
of himself Rod his colleagues in the Cabinet, buthe
could not take upon himself the exoneration of oth
er important members of Parliament, who have
not yet withdrawn their charges against the French
Government. Subsequent information wiil again
bring up the subject of the Kegina Coeli, and then
perhaps we will know the entire truth. Till then he
French version, which is the only one with a sem
blanoe of authenticity, must be received, and the
violent denunciations of Lords Brougham, Carnar
von and others, held as libels. The whole ques
tion of the French African emigration system must
come up and be discussed between the different
Cabinets, aud no doubt we shall sooner or later
know what estimate to put upon the Byatem.
Tiie attack also upon Spain in the llouse of Lords,
upon this same subject of the s ave trade, made a
deep impression in Francs; and if it should have no
other effect, it has at least served the purpose of
drawing from the French journals, a hint that Spain
will be supported by France in case of any trouble
with England. If the English fleet, which accord
ing to the English Foreign Minister, protects alone
the Hand of Cuba from the Amerioaus, should be
withdrawu, as threatened, the French navy will sup
ply its place. In any case, France may be oounted
ou as a fast friend of Spain.
The Atlantic Telegraph Cable.—The New
York Evening Post has been informed that Profes
sor Morse has never expected that the expedition
now upon the Atlantic would be successful, though
lie is quite sanguine that a cable can be laid and
worked between the termini which the company has
selected. He does not disguise his oonviction that
the cable on board the company’s steamers is much
too heavy, and that one of half ita weight, or less,
might be laid and worke.d effectively. His views
upon this subject,and Ihe consequences to which
they have led, are said to have been the controlling
reasons for his being left out of the Board ot Direc
tion, at the election whioh immediately preceded
the reduction in the price of the stock.
There are other provisions (says the Poet) whioh
have been suggested to us, against tbe accidents to
which the plans for laying submarine cables have
thus far proved to be liable, whioh we will submit
without argument for what they are worth.
“A cable coiled cannot be uncoiled without kinks.
“ Therefore the cable must be reeled to be laid.
“ The necessity for two vessels to lay the oahle,
quadruples (and more) the risk of accidents.
“ Therefore the cable must be laid from one ship.
“ T e voyage to England is easier, shorter and
safer than the voyage from England.
“ Therefore the vessel with the cable Bhould Btart
from this side.
“ There is one vessel, and one only, oi tonnage
and room sufficient to carry the whole cable, to mt:
the Leviathan.
“ Therefore, the cable, it ever laid at all, must
be Htuwed on a succession of reels in the Levia
than, and the Leviathan muat sail from our own
shores.”
If these views should be deemed to possess guy
value, it would be easy for the Leviathan io bring
the cable with her to thie country, and lay it on her
first trip home.
Harmonious Party.—The Richmond Enquirer
iast week said that,
“The Democracy of Virginia, so far as we can
judge, has been about equally divided on the ques
tion of Leco.npton or anti-Lecompton.”
So, it is evident, may it be said of Missouri, an
other slave State. In Illinois, probably, nine-tenths
of the Democratic party are opposed to Leeomp
tou ; even the Augußta Constitutionalist is forced to
admit that the Leoompton Democracy there are a
“mere faction. ’ In Indiana aud Pennsylvania,
too, there are indications that the Douglas wing k is
Stronger than that of the Administration.
In view of these divisions among themselves,
how ridiculous and hypocritical is it lor Southern
Democratic presses to heap denuoiciations on a
tew faithless Americans in Maryland and Kentucky >
The beam in their own eye is a much more serious
and dapgerous matter, because their deserters are
not only more numerous, but tbere is no knowing
what a liances they are going to make or to
strengthen. Nearly all the influential Abolition
damagogens in Congress were once “National De
mocrats.”—Columbus Enqr.
A Caution to Unhealthy Mothers.— lnvalid
mothers often prolong their existence by daily con
tact with their children. I once know woman who
by weak lungs and mineral doctors, bad been pros
trated with incurable consumption. Her infant oc
cupied the same bed with her almost constantly day
and night. The mother lingered for months on the
verge of the grave, her demise being hourly expec
ted. The child, meanwhile, pined without any ap
parent disease. Its once fat little checks fell away
with singular rapidity, till every bone iu its face
was visible. Finally it bad imparted to the mother
its last spark of vitality, and simultaneously both
died. I saw recently stated in a newspaper that a
man in Massachusetts had lived forty-one days
wflhont eatiug anything, during which period he
had been nourished altogether by a little water, and
by the influenoes absorbed by him while daily hold
ing the hand of bis wit e.—Dr. E P. Foote.
Dedication of the Girard Church.— The Me
thudist denomination of Girard have just completed
a very handsome Church edifice, which was dedi
cated on Sunday last with appropriate ceremonies.
Ihe dedication sermon was preac) ed by Rev. W. I
G. Connor, President of tbe LaGrange College,
from Luke, chapter xi, and part of the second verse,
“ Thy kingdom come.” It was one of the ablest
and most eloquent sermons we ever listened to.—
After tbe sermon, tbe preacher announced that there
was a deficit of some two hundred dollars in pay ing
for the Church, tc meet which a collection was ta
ken up, when the sum of two hundred and five dol
lars was collected, in an audience of perhaps not
more than two hundred and fifty persons, a majority
■of whom were ladies. This Breaks very well for
the liberality of the people of Girard.
The Cbnroh was designed and built by Mr. B. V.
Gif(brd, and is a very creditable piece of arcbitec
'ture. It is well and substantially built, and the in
side work exhibits great architectural taste. The
building, we understand, cost about eleven hundred
dollars, and is complete in all its arrangements with
the exception of a bell, which they hope soon to
supply by the assistance of friends.— Col. Sun.
Peaches eor New York.— lt might appear im
probable, and be doubted by many, of tbe immense
quantity of Peaches and other fruit now being sent
to the North from tbe central parts of Georgia, were
not the facts immediately before us. On Friday
iast nine cars left the central Railroad depot in this
city loaded principally with Peaches, for the New
York s'earners, the largest quantity is said to be
from Columbus—the remainder from this place.
The quantity of Peaches, Watermelons, and oth
er fruits, t hrough ibi section of tbe State and we be
lieve in other parts, is incalculable—e well as be
ing of taperior size and quality.— Macon Jourual Sc
Mettpnger.
A Horrisle Death —The pilots of the Ante
lope confirm the loss of the boat. The machinery
will be saved, and also a portion of her cabin and
ail her cabin furniture. They state that the fire
commenced in the hold, while some ot the crew
were arranging the freight stowed there. It is sup
posed that one of the seen was smoking, and that
he liad re sort to whisky, of which she had two hun
dred barrels in the hold, shipped at Mount Vernon.
As soon as tbe fire was discovered, tbe men were
ordered out of the hold, the hatches were closed,
and tbe boat was run on the bar. A loud knocking
was heard on the lower deek, t whieh p-oceeded
from a man who was stiil in the hold. Tim hatches
were at once opened, but the smoke was so dense
that no one could venture down, and u> keep the
flames from bursting oat, the hatches were again
closed The man was of course suffocated. It is
supposed that he had become intoxicated from
whisky. After every effort to subdue tbe flames
proved unavailing, a storm came on and blew tbe
boat syme distance off; she was then scuttled, and
sunk in sixteen feet water
The Agamemnon and Niagara.— Whilst the
Niagara was lying in an English port, helping to
take in the telegraphic cable, the English newspa
pers constantly instituted compai icons between her
aud the British ship of the line, Agamemnon, exalt
ing the latter to the-skies, and intimating tuat the
f- rmer might possible be carried to the bottom by
the weight of the telegraphic wires. The two ves
sels have sinoe been put to the test of a trememd
ous storm on the Atlantic, and whilst the Agamem
non was reduced to such a condition that her com
mander gave her up at one time tor lost, the Niaga
ra rode the waters as bouyant as a cork, and
scaroely felt the gale which nearly foundered her
etiampuin. A glorious triumph tor the genius of

Beer vs. Wine. — A letter from Paris, Jons ’24,
says tbe wholesale wine merchants at Bsrcy cane >
even yet make up their minds to lower their prete
sinns, although the publie appear to have desert id
them to a degree unparalleled at any former per vd
in this country.
“The change which has come over the habits f
ti e people in this respect is most remarkable,
may uow walk up the bouleyards, or along; the t
of the cases outside the barrier, aud you wul harY
see au individual drinking wine, 7'out le inon'p
bon rot ors, and onvrttr ai ke, are sitting with their
‘jugs ot beer’before them, like so many German
students. John Barleycorn has for the moment
fairly vanquished the god of wine, and reigns su
preme. There is not a case or restaurant in ail Pa
ris which does uot announce, in large letters, that
’English beer,’ ’Bavarian beer,’ and hp.lt a dozen
o’ her species of ’malt,’ are to be found upon the
premises. The heat recently rose here to 95J de
greas, and the consumption of malt liquor during its
continuance has been eomewhat enormous. The
brewers proved wholly unequal to supply the de
mand, n the vast increase which has
taken place in these establishments duriug the last
two or three years; and as lo that favorite Parisian
liquor, at ali times in so much reqnestjveleped Biere
blanche , a man might ramble all over Paris before
lighting on astray bottle undisposed of.”
London Dilapidated. —According to the Lon
don Times, considerable portions of the oity are in
a state of dilapidation already GoyooJ tbe pvwoi of
innovation, except by reconstruction. The Timee
proposes large expenditures for this purpose. It
says :
“If things go on in the present way we shall soon
have to leave off boasting of English oomfort. The
word wiil be as inapplicable to the country as tbe
epithet ‘merry’ in the old ballads Here are 3 000,
OHO of us living in London in a manner which is
every day becoming more and more unbearable.
Foreigners have always been disappointed in Lon
don, but now a days they are astonished, uot tosay
disgusted. No doubt some improvements have
been made; new distriots have arisen, better built
aud better drained than the old, but they are at the
extremities, and London proper is beooming more
foul and dingy and dilapidated and Btinking every
day. The Parisian, the Viennese, the New Yorker
is surprised at the meanness of the houses, the
closeness and smallness of the shops, and the gene
ral slovenliness and want of oare which meet the
eye on every side. The Londoner seems to have
no idea of puiliug down a house. Whether from
want of enterprise or from a bad system of tenure,
vast distriots in the most advantageous situations
are covered with worthless houses, whioh are al
lowed to stand, and become worse and worse year
ly, until they tumble down or otherwise cease to be
habitable.”
Northern Travel.— The ex-editor of the South
Carolinian writes from New York on the 13th inst:
The travel to the North is far less than usual—the
express trains and steamers are empty; and for tbe
first time, at this Beason, we notice the St. Nicholas
Hotel with but a small company. Two years sinoe,
at this very time, there were twelve hundred in the
house, aud now we doubt it there are tnree bun
dred. True, the thermometer has been at 100°, but
the transient crowd has heretofore kept the house
full.
On Saturday aud Sunday we were in Philadelphia.
and endured the heat of to 98°—a temperature
almost reminding one of wbat Sir Joseph Banks
submitted to in the oven as a philosophical experi
ment. Our philosophy is now to get away from
suoh experience, as we prefer what we desire fried
or roasted to be done in the kitchen. Yesterday,
on reaching Jersey City, we found a okange had
taken place during the night before, and a perfeot
gale received us on the ferry boat. It is now quite
pleasant in thie city of oonfusion and bustle, wnere
ceaseless motion is ever present. ■
While at Old Point Comfort, we had conversation
witli gentlemen from ali parts of the Sounh aud
found Gov. Adams’ slave trade projeots are gener
ally repudiated, as destructive of ootton interests
and ruinous to the present valuable and improved
system ol slavery. We met, however, one Virgl
man who advocates the Governor’s idea, on the
ground of being a disunion measure, and sayß he
ropes Gov. Adams may be elected to the U. 8.
Senate, to agitate the question there; that he wants
the question of disunion brought up, aud no measure
will do it so effeotually.
There are but few Southern people in New York
—the thass of our citizens being at the Virginia

Railroad Acdident. —The mail train on the
Virginia and Tennessee R. K. met with an accident
near Salem, Va ,ou Monday, by a oow being on tbe
