Frost —The Charleston Conner, of Saturday,
says :—We have beard from reliable sources that
there was “ a heavy white froat” at Mount Holly,
distant about nineteen miles from (be city, and on
the Northeastern Rai road the deposit of frost w.s
traced at least within a dis*ace of fifteen miles
from the city. Froet was also c! sely marked f.i
Summerville, and at different points on the South
Carolina Railroad, down to a place within seven
miles of the city

The Columbus Enquirer of Saturday evening
says: “Another fro-t, heavier than that of Friday,

The Crots.—The Benton (Lowndes county,
Ala ) Herat learns from a gentleman who is an ex
perieoced and skil ful planter, residing near Benton,
that be has already got out more cotton thau hie
whole crop, either of last year or the year b fore
am-muted to, aad that b.s provision crop wi I he
abundant.
The Cotton Crof —The accounts from the cot
ton crop in this Htate, says the Chambers (Ala.)
Tribune of the Bth, are much more flattering than
we anticipated a week or two ago, and from pre
sent indications the crop through the OOtt m region
will be out of the fields at an unusually early pe
riod. The staple is rapidly opening everywhere,
and as a gene, al thing it will be housed without
auy injury from rain. lu this way, the cotton will
boos fine color, and being so dry the bales will be
lighter than usual.
Cotton —The Eutaw (Ala ) Whig of the 7th
says : We have hoard it said lately, by intelligent
men, that there hat nU been a better crop of cot
ton raised in the Fork since 18 39. Those planters
who were apparently etfleriug most from the rava
ges of the hull worm, are now in high spirits from
the fina yield which is now certain. Home of them
are gathering from e gbl hundred to twelve hun
dred pounds to tho acre at the present picking.—
We may confidently look for n slight llood of nw
nsy next spring.

TkomasvtUs Report sr.
Peabody a Prolific Cork.—Mi. William Slade,
of Dooly ooun'y, informs us that lie planted a tie and
of ten acres the present year ot this Corn, from
which he gathtue l four hundred hu-held, an avei
age of forty buabtU to the a* re. lie eelcoted one
Hereof the beat, and measured from it ot good corn,
seventy-one bushel*. This corn wau grown on pin* 4
land, manured pretiy well with Comport, alier
which he addi and one hundred and sixty pounds of
Guano to the acre, planted in iowd nix feet apart,
eighteen inched in tho did 1 , the guano wad* apphod
about midway between the billd in the drill. /u
----la*Kt Time*.
01; ano and Salt.—There has been quite an ex
tensive outlay among our Hancock plen’ers, lor
Guano to apply to cotton the past gen
tlemau expended the handsome sum ot $< ,(KKJ for
thia dinglo fertilizer alone Last year it paid weli it
seems, thin year it pays over the lett shoulder. I tie
guanoed cotton has suffered ui >re with tho rust
than any other. We still hold to what we have
heretofore enunciated, that, the purchase of Guano
two yearn hence will be much smaller than now.—-
Purchased in email quantiiied, aiyl applied judi i
oualy, to particular classes of land*, in moderate
quantities and especially to winter crops, we think
It will pay then a half dozen years toother ; but
on summer crops, a decided failure of our crop in
three or four years takes oil’ all tho profits.
Salt, has been usod on cotton and corn to advan
tage the present, season. It will be tried on wheat
this fall, and next year, cotton planters wi l use ir,
more extensively. We tir • ly believe that the saute
value per acre will pay better in the long run than
the guano. We intend. to apply a sa< klo tho acre
by way t expeii neut lor wheat, and will probably
test the guano by it. Our experiment with it on
corn was satiifactory. It is doubtless a cheaper
manure at present rates than Guano or lino.
Last tall we app ! i“d 185 lbs. ot Guano to y acre
of wheat at a cost of 740 cents. The. wheat grew
off finely, ou'stripped the lest ot tlie field, and ran
up nearly a foot higher ; but tho manure seemed
nearly spent, *nd made but a small head. The re
sult was, lost about enough overplus to save us
from lose, leaving the land in our opinion poorer in
•alts thau the nirrounding acres, tor the growth ot
grass and weeds i-* not more luxuriant than in the
rest ot the field. We took off of that acre about
1200 Km. more than we put on of valuable salts,
which, in our humble opinion, is obliged to tell in a
eeiies oi years.— Sander sri fie Georgian.

Voluntary Return into Slaver t —Facts
have come to our knowledge which speak louder
than auy argument which we could offer, as to the

are . h follows : About thirteen months ago a bright

from Memphis, and went to Cincinnati, where ahe
remained tor over a year. About two day a ago she
voluntarily returned to thia cPy and gave herself
up to Mr. J. VV. Wlikiuson, a iiiend ut the family,
requesting him to write to Mr. It. 11. Parkam, who
lives nfar LaGrange, and is the lather of Mrs Pry

ferred slavery to Cincinnati freedom. The girl is
named Emily, and is well known in thia city. She
says she hud a hard tiino in Cm* luuati—mat she
was eick a good deal, and found a great difference
in having u mas < r and mistress to tako care of her
when sick, and having to take cure ol lierseif. She
sayssho riiti away Irom Memphis and had to run
away from Cincmuall to get back. The foregoing

An Extraordinary Proceeding.—Last week
we mentioned the fact that C. Powell & Cos., of this
place, had, by the defiant positiuii taken by the
East IVnneseed and Virgiuia Railroad Company,
been defeated in attempts to collect judgments
against the company, to tt:e amount of fifteen bun
ared debars. We have einco learned that Mr. VV.
B. Shapard, of this place, had obtaiued a judgment
against the company lor one hundred doliais; an
execution issued u on, which was levied upon tim
ber, purchased by the company, to becojverted in
to cars or us -d lor i omt* at her purpose.
A day or two since, the company upon applica
tion to Judge Tur’eyt obtained nu i iunction to re
strain, not only C. Poweil& Cos and VV. B, Shapard,
from having SHtndaciicn of thdir judgments, either
by levy, by garnishment, or by other process, bur,
ad other creditors from “moiectieg,” ‘•hurrassing,”
or‘ annoying” the company with suits, until the
lien of the State, predicated upon the loauof bjuds
to the Company, is removed.
It is known to our Teuueasce readers that the
boudd oi the Stule, loaned to the company, do not
mature until the expiration of thvty years from
their date, and the effect of this injunction is fb re
strain every creditor, it matters not to what extent,
or tor whut consideration, from taking any judicial
process whereby he can nave satiif&otion ot his de
mand out of any property of the company, real,
personal, or mixed. And thus the employees of tiie
company—the laborers who repair the ’road—the
woikmeu in the shops—tha drivers of the locomo
fives—conductors, Ace., Ace., may at an} 7 time bo
refused puyment, and that without remedy, if the
principle upon which thia injunction is granted is to
be ludiutuiued.
The proceeding is novel, and we believe without
precedent, aud we refer to it that creditors may be
admonished what litigation arid restraints they aro
to encounter if they shall attempt to enforce the
company to pay debts, the obligation to pay which,
no individual could, with any pretence whatever,
controvert, either morally or legally.— Knjjville
Citizen, Oct. 7.
Terrible Alli-tiy on the Fair Grounds at
Mush wile, Trim.
The exhibition grounds of the Tennessee State
Fair, whic i opened at Nashville on Monday last,
were, on Wednesday, the scene of a terrible affray,
which resulted in the death of one mail, and the
serious, and perhaps mortal wounding of two or
three others. The Nashville Union eays:
It occurred oil the promenade back of the upper
tier if seats, and created the grevest excitement
imaginable. So unexpected whj it to those in at
tendance upon the Fair, that it was impossible to
ascertain the f lets attending the sanguinary affair,
and we can only give the most intelligible narrative
we could deduce trorn the mass of contradictory re
ports which were Hying with almost lightning rapidi
ty over tbs grounds.
It appears that a fsu J of a very bitter nature has
for some time existed between John. James, and
Sandy Owen, sons of Everett Owen, of Williamson
county, aud Sam. and Geo. W. Cowan, sons of Mr.
Owen e wife by a former husband. Saus. Cowan
met Jas. Owen, who had hi? wife leau ug upon his
arm, at the Fair yesterday morning, and spit in his
face. Shortly afterwards" James and Sanday Owen
met Sam. Cowart on the promenade hack of the up
per seats, when Sandy Owen commenced an attack
upon Cowan with a stick Coweit then drew a pis
tol aud shot Owen thiough the to art, killing him in
stantly, and simultaneously the friends of the par
ties interfered, making a vigorous and fearful use
of sticks. During the melee that ensued, tour or
6ve, or perhaps six addit : ona! shots were fired.—
When the combatants were seperated. it vs? ascer
tained that Jas Oweu waeshot in the hand, through
the thigh, nr.d in the back above the hips, ranging
into the lungs. It was thought his wounds were
mortal, and that he could not survive until this
morning. Upon bringing Sam. Cowan to the city,
it was as ‘trtaiued that he was mortally wounded
by a pistol shot, the hall hAviug entered the up; er
part of the forehead and ranged backward, where it
lodge r.
Gen. Joel A. Battle was horribly mangled about
the head from blows infim-fed with a heavy stick,
and it is reported hat his skull ts tracured, from
winch he? wa? suffering the most excru.rating pain
last evening. Fears were entertained that his
wound? would prove fatal.
Mr. Thomas Batte, who wa? standing near when
the afliay commenced, received a slight though
painful fi sh wound in the wrist from a pistol shot.
A pistol ball passed through the coat of the gate
keeper at the riug near where the tight occurred.
We heard of several others who were slightly in’
inrod from blows indicted by sticks, among others
Mr W A. Davis.
It is a u iracla that several otters were not killed
or wouuded, where sc many were in the vicinity.
It is proper that we should say this and stressing
affair was tus result of a family feud of several
week s standing, aud that it did not grow out of
any thing connected in any way with the fair. In
the five years during which these tairs have been
held here, this is the first serious difficulty which has
occurred. It is lust, therefore, to the ifllcers of the
fair, that the public should know the above facts,
aud understand that the difficulty grew out of noth
iug over which they had control.

Physical Training of Children—No. ‘-5.
The Influence of Air on their Health and Lives.
Me Editor It appears from the best calcuia-
I lions, that at ie&ctone half of the children who arc
die before they are twelve year* of age ; of
the surviving half, at that peried, hew many per
ish before they attain to maturity 1 How maty
others are stunted in their growth, distorted in their
figure, or too much enfeebled from a variety ot
causes, to enjoy the real p.essures of hie ? VV hat a
train of Lis seems to aw&i: th 9 precious charge the
moment it is taken out of the hands of nature'. But
the worst offthese calamities are the result of mii
managemoat or neglect, and I shall endeavor lo
show before I complete th 9 series, how they may
be prevented by tender and rational treatment. —
Tue first want of anew bora infant is clearly mani
ferted by its cry, not arising from auy sense of
pain, but from a fetimuius or impulse to expand
the lunge, a:.d thereby open a free passage :or the
circulation of the blood, and for the admission of
air, which is bo essential to the existence of every
living creature. The air which ij thus inhaled,
after imparting its vital properties to the entire
eyetem, favors tl.e removal of the perepirable mat
ter constantly from the interior surface of
the lungs, and carries off with its expulsion a con
siderable portion of tLe noxious and superfluous
humors A the b .dy. The purity of the air is thus ;
destroyed, ad in consequence of being frequently j
breathed, it oecou:es unfit for the purposes of res
piration. In a confined place, therefore, it is not air,
bit rather the unwholesome exhalations of the body,
which must oucserve the purposes of respiration.—
And every other cause which tends to waste or pol
lute the air, renders it in eorns degree injurious to
the strength and health of those who are forced to
breathe it.
In this very brief account of the most important
of the vita’ functions, I have avoided scientific de
tai jS, in order that it may be the more intelligible to
tue reader. The quality of the air we breathe ie of
much greater consequence than our and
dr;nk, at every period of life, more especially in
infancy, a etate of the utmost delicacy. Good aii
braces, and bad air relaxes the delicate frame.—
The former is a source of health aHd vigor—the
latter of infirmity and disease. If the nursery be
kept properly ventilated and free from iuapUiitie3,
the infant will soon become hardy enough to be
taken out into the opeu air, not OLly without
tho least danger, but with the greatest advantage,
provided, always, the season of the year and the state
of the weatner encourage such early experiments.—
A month sp nt within doors is confinement enough
in almost every case, aud the nursery should then
be frequently exchanged for green fields and sunnv
heights. There jour child will drink, as it were,
the vital stream pure from its fountain head ; he wi J
draw in at every breath fresh supplies of strength
and vitality, while the bracing action of the air on
the surface of the body w 11 give it a firmness un
attainable by any other means. In the course ot a
few months the state of the weather need not be
much regarded, aud its unfavorable changes, unless
the heat or cold should be inteLee, ought not to
operate as a check on the daily excursions.
Our climat >ie very fickle. We will suffer much
from its extreme variations if we do not accustom
ourselves to them in early life. Do not, therefore,
sacrifice the future comfort and safety of the mau
to mistaken tenderness for the infant. If your
child be accustomed from its infancy to the viciss -
fades of the weather, he will have nothing to fear
from the b eak North or the sultry South, but will
bear change of eeason, of climate, and of at
mosphere, not only without danger, but without
pa n or inconvenience. The importance of fresh
air, aud of frequent exposure to all sorts of weather,
iu early life, must derive additional weight Irom a
con ideration of the bad effects of confinement and
unwholesome air upon those who have passed the
age of cradithood. This may account lor the fact
why so lew who are placed iu hospitals aud large
charitable institutions, live. Such places are gener
ally crowded with old, sickly, and infirm people, by
which means the air is rsudored so extremely per
nici’ us that it becomes a poison to young children*
Thia is especially true iu large cities, where the
poorer classes live in low 7 , dirty, and contracted
streets, to which the tir has hardly any access.—
I hough adults, who are hardy and robust, may
jive under such circumstances, yet they general y
prove fatal to their offspring, few of whom arrive
at maturity, and thoje who do are api to be weakly
and deformed. This is a hard lot lor this clasj of
population, for tho wretched parents are not iu a
condition to take them often out into the pure a r
but those in better circumstances are without any
excuse for neglecting so e3:?sutial a patt of their
duty. It is the ir business to see that their children
are daiiy carried about and kept in the open air for
a sufficient length of time. This will perhaps be
better accompli bed if the mother accompanies
them, for servants are too often neglectful of these
matters, and suffer a child to sit or lie on the damp
ground, instead of leading or carrying it about.—
Besides, the mother herself needs air as well as her
child, and how 7 can ihe be better employed than in
the performance of this duty.
Another bad, though a very prevailing custom,
is that of making children sleep iu small apartments,
or crowding several beds into one chamber. In
stead of this, the nursery and the sleeping apart
ments should always be the largest and most airy 7
m the house. When children aro caged in small
rooms the air not only becomes unwholesome, as I
have before remarked, but the heat relaxes the sol
id a of the body, lenders them inactive, and predis
poses children to colds, and to many other diseases,
particularly of a convulsive character. All medical
men who have had much experience with children
must admit that convulsions, of which so many
children die, aro Irequenlly to be attributed to a con.
fined aud impure air. 1 wish to impress its truth on
the minds of mothers, to make them sensible of the
danger of small or close rooms, aud of the perni’
clous folly of covering an infant’s face in bed, or iu
front of its cradle, thereby making it breathe the
same air over and over again wliile it sleeps. It
may be of no lets consequence to repeat the cau
tions to patents which I pointed out iu my former
ui tide, against sending their children while very
young, or indeed at any age, to crowded schools,
the atmosphere cf w’hich is really a floating mass of
impurities. The breath and perspiration of so
many persona in a room, even supposing them all
to be in good health, must waste and corrupt the
a’r, destroy its vitality, aud render it totally uuGt
for respiration. But should any one of the children
happen to be diseased, all the rest are very likely
to become afflicted. When I see a poor little child
w 7 ho can hardly pronounce La mother's name, car
ried tv> a crowded school, I really feel stronger emo
tions of pity than if I had seen it conveyed to an
infected neighborhood; for in the latter, means
would be adopted to keep children separated, to
prevent the spread of contagion; but iu the former
case, all are thrown together, aud there remain with
relaxed lungs,open pores, aud steaming bodies, eo
that it is a miracle it any escape.
The plants of genius and of manhood cannot
flourish but by fit quent expoeure to the enlivening
rays of the sun. W. S. M.

Drltow'd Review#
Mr. EJUor : I reapedf ally ask for a brief space in
your co'umLS to uolicit public attention to the
merit3 of the publication, the name of which is
glaced at the head of this article; aud Ido so with
the greater pleasure, as Protejaor Stueckrath, who
is associated with Mr. Deßow in the conduct of the
Revtjc, ia now in our city, aud will be pleaded to
take the names of such of our citizens ad may de
aiie to subscribe to it. Having long been a reader
of this work, the writer can but express hia surprise
that it has not been more extensively patronised in
this city aud immediate section. Whatever ia moat
radically important to the South, either in defense
ot her pecui ar structure of society, or the develop
ment of her resources and interests in agriculture
manufactures, commerce, education, internal im-
provements, &c., is advocated in this Review with
an ability and practicalness unexcelled, and, 1 think,
unequalled in any similar work in this country or
Europe. No question is more vitally important to
the South than that of A riean slavery. Much has
been written on this eubject by publicists and
pamphleteers for and against the institution; but
nowhere, in all the range of thought aud fulness of
exposition, can its true nature, its moral, social, and
political merits, be found more philosphicaily ex
pounded than in the pages of this Review. In it
are found facts as opposed to dogmas, experience
opposed to theories ; and the institution stands out
boldly and triumphantly vindicated against the
puerilities aud rickety sophisms of its deadly foes.
The Revieic is emphatically the herald of an age of
progress in public sentiment favorable to the
peculiar institution of our beloved section. The
specialities of negre slavery are so truthful,y por
trayed that the mirtls of the more skeptical are
made to see, as by demonstration, that whatever
most utilises tbe negro is beet for him and the white
mau ; that the normal reLtio.’ of the negro is sub
ordination to the white mau : that uegro labor is
essential to southern and tropical civilization.
The Review is not confined to the interests of the
South whhe they ate primarily prominent, no in
terest in any section is overlooked, and ali are so
brought into view that the statesman, the m irehant,
the mechanic—indeed, all classes ot intelligent citi
zens can see, as if from a lofty summit, the great
progress of social, commercial and political events.
The October is a splendid number of the Review.
The contributions a-e rich, full of useful thought,
and clothed in elegant diction. Editorials are plea
sing and instructive. Time, money by thousands,
patriotism, love of section and countrv, all are ex
pended upon this work. Will not our people foeter
it by their substantial patronage T No better op
portunity can present itself than the present. Pro
fessor Stueckrath is in the city, to receive and re
ceipt for subscriptions. It is pleasing to know,
that in encouraging this work, we can aid in
strengthening the rights of the Sou th without draw,
ing the sword, and building up Southern proeperity
without being inimical to the general good of the
Union of States. Patkiotiom.

Turning <■ Wm*i-Curing Potato* Yin*..
Mr. Editor ThickiMg that some of my brother
ploughmen, may be benefitted by a seasonable sug
gestion, I offer it (if you please) through your col
umns.
Every body knows that the maturing of a crop of
weeds, is as exhausting to the land as any other -,
aud before a killing frost ia the time for p.owing
them under as a manure.
How to do It.—Attach a trace chain to the
e’evis of a two-horse plow, the other end around
the right handle, midway, fasten a weight eight or
ten pounds—tha* it will bear down weeds of any
siae, bolding till the turning farrow covers them.
Kesptfuily yours, Fakxcr.
P. g.—To cure Sweet Potatoe vines, it is only
necessary to hang them on a fence, fifteen or
twenty days—they are excellent for bones or cattle.

Franklin College—A New Plan Proponed.
Mr.. Editor:—l hope the riadere ot this will cot
! be alarmed because the plea in reference to fc rank
(in Colley® is termed nctr. Old things are not a!*
ways the best things. Fcr several years pae: I
Lave had a plan in my mind in re .stance to the
above named College, and the educational interests
of Georgia, which, at sirmr time, I had intended
making public. lam induced to do it at this time, j
because, as I am informed, the subject of colleges, .
aud especially the policy proposed to be pursued in j
relation to Fraokiin College, is now being agim- j
ted through the country, aud is finding .ts way into j
“the papers,'’ and from what I learn, is Lke.y to
Cad ita way into the next Georgia Legis.ature.— ,
LCU ItO OJt iUIU “■?)
; There are a few things I wish to premise before
j 3tate Ibe new plan alluded to. Ist, I presume that
j it will not be denied by any one, that whatever
; policy ia carrying forward our educational enorts is
likely to produce the greatest good to the largest
number of cur community is preferable to any and
all plan3 that favor localities only, eo &a to restrict
the general good by bestowing i f -3 bieseinga on a
fcW.
2d. I would remind the reader that we now have
in successful operation four male Colleges iu Geor
gia, at which eometiiicg over five hundred students
are in attendance, let. Frank.in College, a State
! institution, reared up and endowed at the expense ot
I the tax paying citizens of Georgia, irrespective oi
1 religions denominational preicrences. 2i. Tne Mer
cer University, erected and endowed by the Bap
tists and their friends. 3-i. Em -ry College, erected
and now being endowed by the Methodist?, and 4th,
Og ethorpe University, erected by the Presbyte
rians. Now, if I am not mistaken, although these
last three named Colleges are all denominational,
yet in any offensive or improper sense, not one ot
them is sectarian. More thau that, I very much
doubt whether they are one particle more so than
Franklin College has been and now is. Their sec
tarian am, if such it mu=t be called, is purely inci
dental.
I now submit, 3i, That denominational Colleges
are, and have been, and as I* believe wiii continue
to be, the moit efficient instrumental ties by which
to promote a a thorough collegiate training, owing
to various cauces which in this article I may not
stop to specify. If so it becomes the bounden duty
of all lovers of literature to promote these. This
leads me to fcubmit my il new plan ’in reference to
Franklin College. It is this: Sell it lo the Episco
palians. Does this startle anyone? Why not
sell it—if indeed this can be done—to them ? lam
told they need a College in Georgia, and it is said
they purpose to have one. Well, if they bad Frank
lin College could they not, would they not be likely
to manage it as well or even better than the State
drvs or can ? II it could pass into their hands at a
price such ns they could afford to give, the State
making it their interest to buy it, then the purchase
money paid to the State could be equally divided
amongst the other three denominational Colleges
in Georgia. This, I have no doubt, would give
more general satisfaction than any disposition which
could be made ol it as to the future. Tne fact is
notork us that a State can seldom, if ever, manage
such interests as thtse aa well as a denomination
can, and one, too, who knows that to succeed they
will have to compete pretty successfully with other
like institutions. That the course of instruc ion
now given in our Colleges U more thorough and
the students better trained than they would be in
the absence of denominational competition, I have
no doubt.
With the Editor’s permission, I shall scon notice
the plan on foot to make Franklin College a Uni
versity, and attempt to demonstrate that targe
endowments, beyond the actual necessity cf a Col
lege, is its bane, and the precursor of a decline as to
its real utility. W. J. Parks.

Tennessee Marble.—We have been shown a
very pretiy specimen of marble taken Irom a quar
ry ou the plantation of Mr. J. G. Whittaker, nine
miles from Lebanon, on the Franklin road. The
marble is of a beautiful grey color and i3 suscepti
ble of the highest polish. We understand Prof. Saf
ford examined the specimen and pronounced it a
fine article. A small monument, partially pt lished,
was exhibited at our Fair and excited generally ad
miiatiou. Mi. *•-hittaker iuforms us that the quar
ry is some ttn acres in extent and appears to be in
exhaustible. The deeper he penetrates the earth
the more plentiful the marble appears, and of a
finer quality. We trust the discovery may prove a
fortune to him.— Lebanon ( Tenn.) Herald.
Burned to Death—A littie son of John and
Ehzabelh B and, living some ten miles south of Le
banon, was burned to death a week or two ago.—
Toe fat hr and mother had gone to a camp meet
ing, leaving their children in the care of a negro
woman, ihe next morning the children got hold of
a box of matches and while playing with them they
ignited and set the little boy’s clothes on fire. Great
efforts were made by the negro woman to extin
guish the flames, but she did not succeed until the
little tellow was severely burned. He died on the
following night. He was some four or live years of
age. —Lebanon (Tenn ) Herald.
Forty two Passengers Rescued from the
Steamship Austria. —H. B. M. srearu frigate Valo
rous arrived at New York on Thursday from Ply
mouth, England, iu 28 days, via Fayal, 16 days
She came here lor the purpose cf conveying Sir
Gore Ouseley to Nicaragua. The Valorous brings
from Fayal 42 of the passengers of the ill-fated Aus
tria, who Were taken to that port by the French
barque Maurice. Tho list of those known to be
saved is now extended to eighty-eight—of passen
gers aud crew— distributed as follows :
Lauded at Halifax by the Lotus 12
Landed at Quebec by tlie Catarina 22
Landed at New York by the Valorous 42
In Hospital at Fayal 3
Gone from Fayal to Hamburg 9
Total 88
Thi? arrival also adds twenty one names to the
list of passengers lost, among whom we find {repor
ted UoKeuthal and M. Gottschulk, of Mobile.
The New Y'ork Commercial .Advertiser mentions
the following mournful instance :
Os the passengers arrived here there was not one
who had not lost relatives or friends on the ill fated
steamer. Mib Betty Erdwurni, who was on her
way with her four children to her husband in
Charleston, S. C.. lo3t all her little ones. One, a
bright little boy, was swallowed up in the flames;
her three little girls the laebed to & lope aud sus
pended over the side, but the rope was burned
through aud they fell into the sc-a. All of the wo
men were very much burned, amt terrible scars at
test the severity of their sufferings. Some of their
wounds are still unhealed. Moat of these people ate
very poorly clad, aud are quite destitute.
The Comet is now rapidly approaching Venus.—
About the 17th instant, the time of its nearest ap
proach, it will be, as seen from the planet, thirty six
times as great a? it appeared to the earth at its
maximum. The nearest apparent approach to Ve
nus will be on the 19lb instant, when it will be be
tween two and three degress distant. Owing to the
great velocity with which it will be moving (about
thirty three miles per second) it will be subjected to
the disturbing force of the planet for such a short
time that its orbit will not be very much changed.
If it had arrived three da>-3 earlier it would have
passed so near as to present to Venus an appearance
more than three thousand times as magnificent as
it appeared to us on the bth and 9th inst&Dt.— Bos.
ton Post.
Drought.—A correspondent of the Petersburg
Express, writing from Halifax, N. C., says: After
several weeks of continued drought, during which,
I think, the earth became as dry as I ever saw it,
we have rain enough to allay the dust, but not
enough to saturate the ground and put it in order
for seeding wheat. The sgn for more rain, how
ever, are very promising, and we hope .t may con
tinue until the ground is thoroughly wet and the
streams raised eo that the mills can go. Some per
sons have had to go thirty or forty miles for meal,
lecvntly, on account of the lack oi water et the
creek mills in the country.
From New Y’ork to Havana via Nassau, N.
p.—We understand from good authority that the
British Government have completed a contract
with the Me-srs. Cunard to run a monthly line of
steamers between the Bahamia Islands and New
Y'ork. and also to convey the mails to and from
England. Nassau, New Providence, will be the
port in the Bahamas. Messrs. Cunard intend dis
patching a steamer this Fall from New York to
Nassau onee a month, which steamer will proceed
thence to Havana, calling again at Nassau ou her
return to New Y'ork. This steamer will have su
perior accommodations for passengers.
A Curiositt —We have been shown a small
branch of an apple tree on which there are two
sorts of apples upon the eame twig, vis., two Rhode
Island? Greenings anff a Roxbnry Kussett. The
tree is about ten year? old, and the fruit eprings
from a Rhode Island Greening graft. The tree has
never before produced any alh-r than Greening ap
ples The Russett is upon the extreme end of the
twig The tree stands about 3 rods from a Russett.
Now what caused this Russett to grow upon a
Greening graft ? The tree is upon tbe farm of Abe!
S Sexton. Lebanon, Conn —Hartfji and Times.
The Missing Balloonist —Mr. Bannister and
Dartv who went in search of Mr. Tbnr?ton, the
missing seronaat. have returned and given up all
hope of finding him. Mr. Bannister thinks now
that the violent motion of the bal.oon swaying to
and fro in the air, and iu great elevation (three
miles) caused the unfortunate man to resign his
hold and drop to the earth m which case he must
have been dashed into such minute particles as to
leave but few traces.
Thanksgiving Dvr.-The Governor of New
Hampshire has set the example of naming the -Oth
ot November tor Thanksgiving Day, and it is sug
gested that all the other governors follow sun. The
25th of November is the centennial anniversary of
the surrender of Fort Du Quesne (now Pit.?burg,
which terminated tbe rule of France on this conti
nent. It ia also the anniversary of the evacuation
of New York by the British, which occurred twen
ty five years laier. W aahington marched mto each
place with his victorious troops each time. These
events would give a peculiar significance to a na
tional celebration on that day.
Shocking Death.—A partially insane lady who
was visiting a brother near OrviUe, Ohio, in tbe vi
cinity of Mesei'.on, on Tuesday morning, stood near
the railroad track watching the approaching train.
When near she sprang upon the track and run upon
her bands and knees to meet tbe engine. Efforts to
stop the train were unavailing, and five cars in pass
ing over the body ground it to fragments.

WHEAT. —Good White Wheat is scarce and in de
mand, but all other grades are dull of sale; and p ices
tend downwards. We quote good ;o prime Ked 90 cts.

would bring Si.ls. There is a wide range, however, in
the quality brought to market, and we hear of sales of
inferior lots at figures much below our quotations. Com
is steady, but the demand is limited to the wants of
consumers, and a heavy arrival would soon depress

The absence of tonnage still continues to have an un
favorable influence on the market, though not to the ex
tent that we noticed in our last qircu’.a-, and the antici
pation of an early supply has ceased the appr. he: r.ions
which were entertained upon that point. The receipts
continu •to pour at a speed which is without a paral
lel ia any previous year, and the larga offering stoexs to
gether with the unwillingness of buyers to enter the
market without a material reduction, has caused a de
c.iue of a full £c. during the week.
Our circular closes u: on a deprdssed market, with but
little demand, and an anxiety on the part of holders to
sell. In tbe peculiar condition of out rnarke icisdifii
cuit to present reliable quotations, though those v> e offer
seem to represent the carr. nt prices >f to day, as well
as cau be done under the circumstances.

Wheat— There is very little demand for Wheat, and

Exchange —The receipts of produce are even heavier
this week, than last, and the amount of exchange offered
has increased iu proportion; this cause, together •- ith
the srral amount wautt-d to pay our northern ndobted

we h-ar thatsigut bibs have been sold out doors at h I*

check at this figure, as it will pay t > import coin. Time

SAVANNAH, Oct. 18, 4 P. M— Cotton —The decline
which has taken place in the la t three days, Las eua
bled buyers to till orders which ha-: e been he and for some
time. This cause, together with the ease w.th which
freight engagements can now be effected, both foreign
and coastwise, has brought buyers it to the marker, and
proGuced an active demand which has been free* y met
by holders. There is a large offering stock on the mar
ket, and the dullness of last week has made holders
somewhat anxious to realise, and kept prices easy. The
sales to-day toot 1,566 bales, at the following particulars:
1U at. 10J, >5 at 11, 12 at 11 1-16, 110 at Ilf, 367 at 112.. 253

quiteunsettled, and sa es made at irregular prices, ren

present are as near as can be obtained.

Sugar —The marktt continues depre sed for both raw
and refined, and prices gradually favor buyers. The
decline on raw within a week is three-eighths of a cent
per lb. The extreme quietude of the maraet of late, s j
unut-ual at this period, u: the season, and the consequent
depression in the market values, notwithstanding money
is so abundant and cheap, is a matter of surprise to ma
uy, aud of disappointment to most of those interested in
thi- 1 branch of trade—the paucity of demand is traceable
to the reluctance of Western buyers to come forward in
view oi a large crop of Louisiana and prospective low
price®, a id though clocks on the seaboard ate light, the
business is small in the absence of a demand ?rom the
interior. Refined, too, are quite dull, and this adds to
th depression, as refiners buy sparingly of raw, and in
s me instances have and minishea their production. Sales

Our Cotton market has been much more quiet this
week than dur ug the throe preceding; Exporters have
taken a fair quantity, but the trade being supplied for
the moment hate limited their purcha-es. American
descriptions continue to be offered freely but without
pressing on the market, aud prices are lolly supported.

■ JjI VERPOOL, 10th Mo. Ist, 1858.—The Grain market
since 1 uesday has remained in the same passive state
noted tor some time past, still there seems an impression
gain’ug ground that our present low prices may induce
tanners io Lo;u oack supplies, especially as our prospect
for ioreigu supplies of Wheat is remote.
a he numerous arrivals < t floating cargoes of Indian
Corn at port of call are finding a tolerably free sale at
31s per qrlor Galatz, and 29s 6d2)3Js for Ibrail, aud’tis
probable during the next week the whole will be cleared
off.
Deliveries of Wheat from our own farmers for the
pa,t week consist of 135,38 L qrs against 127,412 quarters
same v.eek last year; average price this year 44s 2d,
again 157 std corresponding period last year.
The farmers’ deliveries fur last week (which were not
published in time for insertion in our last; consisted of
133,60Uqrs Wheat, a.ainst 135,344 qrs hame period last
year. Average price 44s lid per qr, against 56s 9d ier
qr same time iast year.
The moderate trade passing at our market this morn
ing ia foreign Wheat was at the rates current on Tues
day ; Irish imw still hangs on hand and pressed for sale,
owing to the doubtful condition of most parce-s.
Good barrel Flour is scarcely obtainable, and for such
full rates would be paid, but Hecoudary sorts, as well as
Irish sacks a e barely enquired for, and prices irregular.
Indian Com veiy dull, at previous rale. New Oats as
