Fuaai the Producer .f Yellvvn Fever. —A
writer in a New Os lean® paper says there can be no
doubt that the poison producing yellow fever is

odoriferous partiiles of a roee or other fragrant
tlowtre are diffused through it. aud are known by
their saluting our olfactories on approaching idem

filled with them in fever time. But nether cbemi
oal analysis nor the microecope is able to detect
inch an agreeable impression on ihe senses neither
have they been able to detect the subtile poison
that produces yellow fever. Whatever, then, may
be the cause producing the fever, one thing is be.
lleved to be certain, vix : that it is diffused through
tbi atmosphere, and that whoever breathes a suffi
cient quantity of that atmosphere to imbibe acer

About three weeks ago, Mr Carver, ot Alabama,
and Jauie Green, ot ibis county, left the Warren
t m Springs, and repaired to the District of Colum

prevented by the arrest of Carver. The cause of
thin and jffiv ulty wss not made public. Both parties,
however, returned to the Springs, where they re
mained t*> t! e present time. It appears that the
oiffiiu ty had not been adjusted, and that ill-feelings
st*.l existed Laid night, Carver was heard to curse
the family generally, which, reaching the
ivtrri of Jamrs Green, excited the latter very much.
After the danon-g was over in the ball room,Green
i uuc in contact with Carver, stabbing him with a
bowie-knife, and killing him instantly. There weie
two eye-wimesscs to the affair, but they dilTer ma
terially in ibtir statements. One of Them states
that l arver collared Green before the latter made
i.n attack upon him—the other statee that Green
was nut <*'-dared by Carveruutil G had made a pass
at him with the knife. The hff*ir had produced a
feeling ol deep regret throughout the whole commu
nity, as both partus were h ghly esuemed by all
who knew them. Green made no attempt to escape
hi and was immediately arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Wail, who was pr- sent at the Springe. He is a son
of the late Jocet Green.

Letter from ihe Copper Mine*.
Ducktown Copper Mines, Aug. 20,1858.
Mr. Editor: I arrived in this very interesting
mining region yesterday, and found its dozen mine*
iu full blast—giving employment to several thou
sand pernors, and direct and incidental support to
more women and children than probably any other
country of like extent on earth. Each mine is a dis
tinct community, with its school, church, and all the
collateral attachments of a well regulated mining
establishment. Several have smelting furnaces,
which reduce the ore to a motte or regulua cf from
50 to 70 per cent. This is crushed and packed iu
boxes, aLd wagoned to the railroad, thence to Balti
more, New-York, or Swansea, in Wales, where it
is sold.
A good furnace will reduce 5001) pounds per day.
The most of the ore now worked, is obtained near
the surface, at from 50 to 100 feet, is termed by the
miners “ black oxide,’’ but is rather a vitrious bi-
Hulphuret. containing from 10 to 20 per cent —some-
timed from 30 to even 49 per cent of copper. The
green carbonate is found in considerable quantity
at two of the mince. The superincumbent part of
the vein is a hydrated oxide of iron, (limonitej ami
at a greater depth, varying from 150 to 375 feet,
t ley find beautiful tpecimens of the yellow sulphu
rs!, which will ultimately afford all the workable
o:es. Most of the mines are conducted on the
strictest principles of modern science—the officers
and miners are men of enlarged practical know
ledge, obtained in the best regulated mines in Eu
rope All the operations have assumed a fixed cha
r icter and steadily progress till iu a few more years it
will equal any section on the globe for its immense
mineral pro uctious and eniighted scientific Bystem
of developments and onward march.
It is now far in advance of outward public opin
ion’with regald to its progress iu ihe* arts and its
onral condition, in a population of some 60U0 di
vided into over half a dozen communities, I saw
but one man iutoxicated iu two days, which speaks
highly cf its inhabitants, and clearly surpasses many,
if ?ot all of our older towns ana villages
At the Iliwasree mine, they ha T . e a Masonic Hail
i and a Printing Office 1 The latter recently eatab
liehed, under the ownership and supervision of W
P. Collins, whofie industry and enterprise can t fail
of securing a liberal patronage from a people who
evince so much interest in the development of all
the resources of their country.
Arrangements are even now being made to cele.
brate the s- cctssful laying of the Atlantic Telegraph
Gable. llow many of our interior towns of far
greater pretensions show so high an appreciation of
that gigantic effort of the human mind 0 .
You would be astonished at the muscular power
aud endurance of mar y of these mountaineers. As
an instance, whilst Bitting in Mr. Patterson’s store,
a young man came in from the Troy Mountains aud
purchased a sack of Flour of 100 tbs , shouldered it,
and left Upon being asked how far he was going
t, carry it, he naively replied, home, s.x miles over
a rough mountain path! Soon after, a second
shouldered a sack of Salt and moved off as lithely
as a “ deer in a walk.” Such ia the effect of habit.
They will carry heavy loads for miles over rocks
and mountains, and wade streams with impunity.—
They are a hardy, healthy and happy race, primi
tive in their manners and dress, with but few wants
and those easily supplied. No hoops distort, their
natural proportions, and create that sense of the
ridiculous related by Fanny Fern of a female school
in New England, where, upon examination day, the
girls were prim and starchy , and arranged in rows
like “ tittle barrels. ’
Here the idea of hooped-up casks never enters
our bead. Nature is untrammelled, ana you every
where see the Grecian beau ideal of beauty as j
handed down to us in the inimitable statue of the
“Venus de Medici,” where the form of the body is
show'll in its natural proportions without that wasp - j
like distortion of the waist, so eagerly sought after j
by our modern fashionable belles. Hoops destioy j
all the peotry belonging to woman, aud reduce her ,
to an artificial doll. The pertinacity with which •
they cling to this fashionable relic of the feudal ages
is the only argument against the mental equality of
the sexes, which, it is to be hoped, they will epeedi j
y abolish, and adopt something more reasonable j
aud graceful.
The view from the hill-top, eaet of the Hiwasaee
Mine, is one of the moat magnificent in the world, j
You are placed in the midst of a vast baein, eur- .
rounded on ali sides by immense ranges of mouu j
tiius—with isolated groups, scattered about over !
what was once, in by-gone ages, a great inter- \
montane lake, forming little islands—whose waters j
have long since burst their barriers and found their j
way to the ocean, leaving this lacustrine basin ;
with its thousand cbrystal streams, its hills aud I
valleys tor agricultural, manufacturing and mining ’
purposes.
Far to the Eastward, lofty mountains sweep
around the horizon from Carolina and Tennessee
Southward for hundreds of miles opening wide
elfins occasionally, through which you have faint
glimpses of the far-off Blue Ridge, whose undulating
outline can scarcely be distinguished from the float
ing clouds. Ou the North the Iron, or Smoky
Mountains loom up sublimely and tend North-east
ward until they are lost in distance.
The setting sun threw a rich flood of golden light
over ti e landscape, broken now and then by dark
shadows from t. e lolty peaks of the mountains —
the gorgeous array of clouds—the picturesque effect
>i the Mining villages with their furnaces heaving
up huge columns of sulphurous smoke like rninia
ture volcanoes —all conspired to render the scene
one of indescribable grandeur and magnificence.
Filled with the most gowing emotions of gratitude
t y Almighty God, I descended to the Hotel and was
ajon in the land cf dreams.
The next morning the whole scene was changed.
Trie valleys and hills far and near were all envelop
ei in a dense cloud of smoke from the furnaces
which had during the night settled down, and con
tinned till 10 o’clock, when the sun’s heat lifted the
attain and the grand panorama burst upon the
vision again with magic effect Yours.

ions of the Supreme Court of Georgia, wbioh wilj
uclude the twenty-fifth volume, and will be pub.
t abed immediately alter that volume is completed
.ae Digest will contain the rules of Court, and will
e complete in two volumes He is also preparing
or publication, a compilation, of ail the statutes
assed by our Legislature with notes ot every deci

i nis work will require a great deal of labor, conee.
uentiy will not be ready for publication as soon as
tie former.
These books will be ot great service to the Bar of

iwyera to carry around the circuit with them I
peak from my own judgment, having examined
i iie plan thoroughly some three weeks since, while

Business in Boston.— Tae Boston Traveller, in

agremaks :
During the past week there has been an Lnereas
and activity in irade. Oar c jmmiseiou merchants

. oHraging prospect of crops in that section, more
articulary that of cotton, is favorable, both to the
buyer ami seller. The favorable report from the
ogar plantations in the lower Mississippi is also
ncouraging. These indications of prosperity must
ufuse new vigor into at! branches oi industry We
-nderetand that the merchants from Tennessee,
(ieorgia. South Carolina and Texas me purchasing
oil up to the maikof former years.
The success in crope underlies the whole fabric
, f trade and incites producers to become oonsum
Ir? In’ this respect our Southern merchants can
•nd no fault. The West has not comparatively
een so prosperous Tne evil of speculation, an da
” too firm reliance on prospective prosperity, have
‘ed the merchant? and others m that *dt on into
error, and proved a stumbling block in the way of
redit with oar merchants here. Thu 9wU can be
remedied by short credits or cash payment*, ana
’hus restore confidence, and in the end be more
:&vor&ble both for boyerand seller.
The exceeeive foreign importations for the pa?t
’.wo years, especially in locia produce, are fast de
creasing A Large portion of the “gunny cloth’ ’

wo’-ehouses, hs been scattered.
Tie favorable news from the Southern crops is
encouraging to our ship-owners and builders, and
we hear of several contracts for ships, both here
and at the eastward.

The Democratic primary election tor members or
the County Committee and Stats Convention took
place here on the dOih July. It was a very quiet
acd Well ordered tffair—the quietest D-mocratic
primary election tirat ever took place in San Fran
cisco. It resulted iu a comp ete success by the Ad
ministration wing. The Custom House and other
Federal officials tinned out tn manse to secure th e
result, ana disgusted not a few honest ciiizene by
their shameless interference with lbe local politics
of the country. Their offices were deserted, and
their whole a reutiun devmed to the primary polls.
The ‘'people’ Party” have also begun to act. A
call was circulated aud signed by about a thousand
of our most influential citizens, asking the People’s
Nominating Committee ot 18n< lo name two per
sons from each District to act as their successors,
aud bring out a ticket for the ensuing election—the
names so suggested to be subject to confirmation
by a public meeting in each of the District. The
has been done, and the People’s Pai ty will doubt
less have a ticket in the field, independent of poll
lies.
On Sunday, July diet, groat excitement was
caused in tins city by the arrival of the steamer
Oregon,from Victoria, with the news that during
the night before lie -earner hud mil on a rock
prom mtoiy called Point Reyes, about “5 miles from
Sail Francisco, aud that while she was thue pmg
against a rocky precipice that juts up from the sea, !
some forty or fifty of her passer gers had attempted |
to jump ashore, but wuether they had succeeded iu ■
doing so, and were sale, or had fallen into the sea. I
was unknown. The steamer, ou getting clear of
the rocks, was iu s) dangerous o condition that t: I
was not deemed possible to wait and ascertain tin j
fate of those who had deserted her. but the capt ain |
made tor this city with -very po- ible speed—using
all the putrq.s to keep the wssel free from water
A steamer was immediately dispatched to the place
of the disaster to look after the missing passengers
—but before site got back, a number of those who
had jumped trom the Oregon arrived here in safety,
by the steamboat from P -mUui-a F’orfy three Had
jumped upru the rocks, where !hey passed the i , -ht.
Next day they found their way t-> a ranch, where
animals were procured to take them to Petaluma.
It was not known certainly that any li\ es wers lost.
It is believed however, that some of those who
leaped from the ship either fell short of the rock
and were drowned, or slipped eff into the water
during the night. Some of those who reached here
in salety, declare that they saw persons struggling
in the sui t beneath them while they were on the
rocks. The occasion of the accident was a dense
fog, which prevented the look cuts on tlie steamer
from seeing the laud until ehe had approached it
very nearly, running nearly full upon it. She teas
but a little distance out ot her true track. The
placing of a fog bell on Point Reyes lias long been
urged
From thk Fkasek River Mines.—Though the
rush trom this Stats to the new niiiiea in the British
Possessions on this coast lias now pretty much ceae
ed, still the newa from there lias occupied a large
portion of publio attention. Our latest dates from
Victoria, A’. I, are to he 28tli July, and from the
diggings ou Fraser River to the HU'ii ot the same
mouth. The news is not yet conclusive eil her as
to the richness or extent of the new gold field; but
our last accounts arc certainly very lavorablu. If
we are to believe Governor Douglas, there cun bo
little doubt of the existence of rich gold fluids in
that region. The functionary, who possesses better
means of information than any other person, i-< re
ported to have used the following language in a
public speech at Victoria ou the I9tli July when
aduressing a crowd of miners :
“Tois 1 will tell you, as my own settled opinion
that I think the country is full of gold, and that east
and north and eoutb oi Fraser River, there ia a
gold field or incalculable value and extent i have
told our glorious Queen so, ana now I r. 11 you ho.”
Toe w atcr in ti v numerous streams wa* at ias
beginning to fall fur the season, and the snow in the
mountains which heretofore has fed them, is pretty
near exhausted. A good many miners are already
workiig on the bar? in the rivers, and some of them
are doing very well Ali were sanguine that as soon
aa the streams fell they would take out large quail
tilie? of gold. Anew route has been discovered to
the Upper Fraser liver region, by the >i Har
rison and Lillooet rivera and Ihli:s, and some easy
trails. This was considered of great value, as one
oi the principal difficulties heretofore to be con'.tn
ded agH'uat, was the difficulty /if transporting pro
visions to the upper -waters o Fraser river, where
ihe principal diggings are said to be located. The
Hudson Bay Company now permit ell persons ti*
taker up an unrestricted quantity of provis uiu to
the u iuing region, and there seemed to bo little or
no suffering there now lor the want of food. The
Hudson Bay Company and its officers have acted
with the utmost fairness and liberality in ail their
dealings with the miners and others, and are very
popular, aud uuiveraahy respected.

been organified into two columns, the one under
i ihe command of Col. Wright, and the other under
Major Garnett. These iwo columns are now ad
! vanning in different directions into the interior ot

said to be well arranged. I i* to be hoped that
such activity, and tuch a demonstration, will have
the desired effect on tLe troublesome savages in
that quarter.
A correspondent of the Oregonian, writing from
old Fort Walla Wal a, under date of the 13lU inet.,
says :
“W r e leave here to-day for Shuswap, under the
charge of Mr James McLaughlin, who was yester
day unanimously chosen bv the company as the
most suitable person to lead the party. Our force
consists of 92 men, ell in good health, and armed

irg here for the last ten dayp for reinforcements to
our party —hearing that a number were on their
way up from the Dalles to join u—but they have
not arrived, and we shall go without them.
On the 9th several Indians came near the camp
of Mr. iu broad daylight, and rau <>tl
16 head ot his company’s horses. They were soon

of camp, while the men were at breakfast. A few
ineff dual shots were fired at them before they
were out of sight. We all expect to have some
difficulty with the re 2 devils, and intend to give
them a warm reception.’’
Capt. Robertson's company, numbering near four
buudred men. left the Dalles on the 20th, for Yaki

be remembered that Capt. Robertson and company
wore driven out • fhat country k few week- ag s
by the Indiana, after they had prospected and found
rich gold diggings on the Wenatche, about thirty
miles from Priests’a Rapids. Tiiey have been re

Queer Fix for a Queen of a Free People
In the course of a savage anti-Napolean article the
Liverpool Times of the sth thus epeaks of the
Queen’s part in the Cherbourg fetes :
Ia Fiance, as in England, there is a trite and sig
nitiu.aut adage : “ Tell me the company you keep,
and I’ll tell >ou who you are.” Although nothing
could be more wide of the mark Ilian the applica
tion of this proverb to the Queen of England, we
are satisfied that not a few of the Freuch nation
may consider that our beloved Qae< n approves of
thekiogiy action of h;r august ally, “Napoleon
111 ’
O her ideas suggest themselves to the mind,
when we take into consideration the pari which
eheia tn ptriorm in the inauguration ceremonies
What, then, is the part which ihu Queen of E g'aud
is lo teke at the Cherbourg foies thi-day ? Si.e will
evidently assist at unveiling the statute of the firet
Emperor, on the base of which ia an inscription
which rightly interpreted, is nothing les.i than an
audaciousitaub, and a uiori.-trous menace to Eng-
land and her people.
Next she will witness the flooding of docks origiu
ally and coi.l't - vily denit - fl >at invading

months past have Almost qua)iff and them to cope
with the pick of our British tare, and if directed,
enable them tn make a descent up.*u the Isle of
Wight, try the powers of resistance at Alderney, or
prompt an attack upon Portsmouth or Chatham.
This Cherbourg m uionstraih n will be a >igu of
the despotic triumph over the people of France,
and a Lint dial the time may come when the liber
lies of England are liable to boat Tacked by the
menacing design? of the present luler of that conn
try. Considerations such as these lead one to ques
iun.the policy of the Queen of England being an
active pui’ieipator in s. *.h scenes. Whatever part
she may play in the great performance, wo are oer
iaiu she will no; i rget what, is due to her own po
sit ion and the honor and defense of the vast do

Not lacking either spirit or ambition, she accept

of our fellow-creatures bears itneas to them ; and

“bow, and l sincerely hope with truth, that tlie
atrocities attributed to her were greatly overrated,
they still admit reluctantly, that these poor crea
tures wire only cut to pieces. Henceforth, of
course, it way war-to the knife. She became the
very soul of the moveim-nt in thus* pavta. Her
forts were atrengtheiied, her men gathered together
in boasHtv, stores laid iff, and every preparation made
for siege or tight.
For herself, she dressed in male .allire, for greater

to a shout of joy. Was there danger ou the ram

fiery storm. Jhansi overwhelmed, she found her
way with her body-guard to Calpee Here the
name determined wul was seen, here the same spirit
shown Beaten, but not conquered, she rapidly Jol
lowed the clever move of Tan, in Topee on tie Gwa

GRAlN.—Wheat continues in good demand, owing to
Its scare ty, especially for prime lots. It is, however
beginning to move more freely in the up-country, ana
the market will p obab:y soon be well supplied. There

CHARLESTON, August 27— Cotton —During the
early part of the present week the demand continued to
afa r extent, aud as the stock on sale was very light
holders received very full rates, aud in some ins’ances,
particularly for the better grades, an advance of 4ft 4c.
was realized. On Wedne-day one or two purch strs
wanted some fine Cot'ons, for which, *n tbe absence of
stock to select from, they were compelled to par an out
side price, which would be no criterion of tbe market—
and as there were no transactions on Thursday, we are
again in such a i irregular market to give even nominal
quotations. Ihe receipts of the week have been 738
bales, and the sales 1771 bales
Rice —The demand for both foreign and coastwise ship
