Drowned.
We are informed that a negro mun, property
of Joseph Woolfolk, Esq., of YVinnton, was
drowned recently in the Chattahoochee river,
at or n**er Woolfolk’s Bend, under the follow
ing circumstances. The man had been for
sometime a runaway, and was Ircing ehasacdon
the day in question. Ho ran into the river,
and was drowned before assistance could be
rendered. It is not known whether his drown- |
iug was a voluntary act, or the result of cramp j
or exhaustion, though he had been heard to
cay that he would not be taken.
There ia nothing known to us iu proof of
bnd treatment; nor any cause shown why he
should have expressed himself iu this manner.
Coroner W’higbt held an inquest on the body,
and the Jury rendered a verdict in accordance
with the facts. _
Fruit, Etc.
Our market is well supplied .just now with
musk and water melons, apples and canto- ’
lopes. Peac es have come in, but aro not very
plentiful. Plums and blackberries are scarce,
but may occasionally bo found. Tbo water
melons so far as we have seen, are not more
than “good middling.” A first rate article we
have not yet met with.
The vegetable market is fair, being well sup
plied with cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes,
ochre, green corn, squashes, beets, &c., &c.
We notico a marked improvement lately in
meats; mutton, shont, veal, beef, ham, are
easily procurable, and nil of good quality.
Chickens plentiful, and in great demand. —
Country butter abundant.

Our renders doubtless remember the robbery
of the American Express Company some time
ago in Michigan, where the box was received
in New Y’ork, apparently all right, but proved
to contain no money when opened. White,
the Messenger of the Company, together with
bis confederates, King and Ayre, have been
convicted of the robbery. Over fifty witness
es were in attendance, and the Company have
spared no pains to punish their delinquent
agents.
The Buchanan and the Fillmore papers, aro
publishing results of numerous elections, held
on steamboats, at large factories, the navy
ynrds, etc., with a view of showing tho pros
pects of their candidates. Thr grand total of
all these votings, and of the statements made,
prophecies, predictions, Ac. is as follows:
Mr. Fillmore will be elected by an over
whelming majority.
Mr. Fillmore will not get a State iu the
Union, unless perhaps, New York.
Mr. Buchanan will be elected by an over
whelming majority.
Mi. Riichannn may get Pennsylvania, but
will not carry a single other State.
The Fremont papers tell us that he also will
be elected certain. Hence there will be three
Presidents during tho next term, and there
will be no President at all.
A Washington dispatch states that the trial
of Mr Herbert, was to have taken place yes
terday ; and that of Mr. Brooks, some time
during the week. Mr. Brooks’ trial, if it be
contingent on the recovery of Mr. Sumner, is
not likely to come off’ soon, wo think. Sum
ner continues to “play possum,” despite abun
dnut assurances from his physicians that he is
well. We expect, if the truth were known,
he feels more mean than sick ; is not so much
indisposed as ashamed. Ashamed of bis
speech, ashamed - *■ his conduct during the as
sault, nd ashamed of his deceptions since in
feigning sick. Come, come, old fellow, this
will never do. Rouse up, shake yourself, be
a roan .’ Brooks will pay all tbo damages, and
no doubt the Doctor’s bill too. And if you
will only behave yourself in future, tho time
may come when even the South will forgive
your lapsus, and if you respect her rights,
come to respect you. But at any rate get up,
and take the stand. Every body is tired out
with your delay. *
The W. ft N. O. Telegraph Company, re
cently declared a dividend of two per cent—
the first since President Mowry of Charleston,
took the helm. The line has been leased to
the Magnetic Telegraph Company, who, it is

As the Magnetic Company have five wires be
tween New York and Bashing on, where the
other had but one, and that under lease, the
recent change will be very advantageous to
those using the line.

On last Saturday evening the British Barque
Ringdove, Captain John Nutman, bound for
Cork and a market, went to sea over tho Cape

Captain Nutman discovered oa board two ne
gro slaves, who had concealed themselves with
the view of making their escape from their
owners. Ho immediately put back, and about
4 o’clock on Sunday spoke a pilot-bout in
which was Mr. Frank Morse, a pilot, in whoso
charge ho placed the negroes. Mr. Morse
lodged them in Smitliville jail to await the

We published yesterday an account of a late
scene in a Philadelphia church, whore the min
ister, instead of preaching “Christ crucified,”

his congregation with diatribes on slavery.
Since then, wc fine the following account of
tho action taken in the matter, by the Vestry
of tho Church.
The Vestry of the Episcopal Church of the
Epiphany, at a late meeting passed tho follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That tho members of the Vestry
have learnod with deep and sincere regret,
that the Rector of this Church has deemed it
his duty to select the Lord’s day and the pulpit
of this Church, as the time and place for the dis
cussion of sectional politics, and while desir
ing to entertain and express nothing inconsist
ent with the highest respect for a gentleman
holding so sacred and important an office, they
feel it a solemn obligation to declare their dis
approbation of tho substitution of such themes
for the simple preaching of Jesus Christ and
Him crucified ns the hope of a ruined wo Id.
Resolved, That wo most respectfully but
(Irmly protest against any repetition of such
like sermons as that preached ou the evening
of Sunday, the 29th instant.
Resolved, That the Secretary be requested
to communicate to tho Rector copy of tho
foregoing resolutions.
Footing up tbo Losses
ThePariscoricspondent of the London Times
writes :
“ 1 am credibly informed that the French
army buried 28,000 meu in the Crimea this
wiutor alone. Exclusively of that enormous
item, our losses and theirs arc very near iu
proportion. Out of 200,000 men they lost
more than 40,000. In our army of 97,000
men we lost upwards of 20,000. Os courso
neither French nor English ever had such a
number together at any one time; these fig
ures relate to the total number of men landed
from time to time in tho enemy’s country.”
Tho American State Convention.
This body met in this city on yesterday.—
Preliminary to a permanentorganizution, Mar

On taking the chair, Dr. Miller made an
eloquent and powerful address, which was re
ceived with great applause.
The number of delegates in attendance is
very largo, and the greatest harmony and en
thusiasm prevails. A ticket will be presented.

Rencontres in New Orleans.
On the morning of tho Ist inst., Mr. G. W.
Kendall, ex-postmaster of New Orleans, and
Mr. T. S. McCay. U. S. District Attorney, met
on Oanal street. New Orleans; Mr. Kendall
seized Mr. McCay by the collar and beat him
with his fist until tho bystanders separated
them. Mr. McCay drew a revolver, which was
kuocked out of his hand by Mr. Kendall.
Both were taken into custody, but Mr. Mc-
Cay declining to make any charge against Mr.
Kendall, they were both liberated; the latter,
however, being fined ten dollars for a breach
of the peace.
Tho following day another affray took place
on tho same street, in which Mr. Kendall
again participated. The Picayune says:
“It appears that high words’ arose between
W. G. Kendall and Mr. Thomas Adams, con
cerning Kendall’s attack on U. S. District At
torney McCay on Tuesday, and that Kendall,
having at the time a knife in his hand, at
tempted to strike Adams. He, however,
caught a Tartar, for his antagonist kuocked
him down with a well directed blow, and then
gave him one of tho most unmerciful beatings
that mortal ever got. Quite a number of per
sons looked on delighted with the sport, and
one or two small supplement affairs grew out
of the general conflict.
Strychnine.
In Ceylon and several districts of India
grows a moderate sized tree, with thick shin
ing leaves, and a short crooked stem. In tho
fruit season it is easily recognised by its rich
orange colored berries, about as large as gold
en pippins, the favorite food for many kinds of
birds, within which are the flat round seed,
not an inch in diameter, ash grey in color, and
covered with very minute silky hairs. The
Germans fancy they can discover a resem
blance in them to grey eyes, and call them
crow’s eyes, but the likeness is purely imagi
nary. The tree is the strychnos nux vomica,
and tho seed is the deadly poison nut. The
latter was early used as a medicine by the
Hindoos, and its nature and properties under
stood by Oriental doctors long before it was
known to foreign nations. Dog killer and fish
scale are two of its Arabic names. It is stat
ed that at present the natives of Ilindostuti
often take it for many mouths continuously,
in much the same way as an opium eater eats
opium. They commence with taking the eighth
part of a nut a day, and gradually iuerea; o
their allowance to an entire nut, which would
be about 20 grains. If they eat it directly be
fore or after food, no unpleasant effects are
produced ; but if they neglect this precaution,
spasms result.
The Fair Grounds.
In our last tri weekly issue, speaking of the
great improvements at the Fair Grounds, we
stated the diameter of the internal ring of the
Amphitreatre at seventy six feet. It should
have been one hundred and seventy six. This
was corrected for the weekiy, but another er
lor was allowed to continue in the article as it
appears on the outside of the weekly: the area
of grounds is stated as comprising tweuty
acres, when it should be thirty.— Montaomeru

Extract from Mr. Fillmore’s Speech at
Albany
The agitation which disturbed the peace of
the country in 1850 was unavoidable. It was
brought upon us by the acquisition of new ter
ritory, for the government of which it was ne
cessary to provide territorial administration.
But it is for you to say whether tho present
agitation, which distracts the country and
threatens us with a civil war, has not been
recklessly and wantonly produced by the
adoption of a measure to aid in personal ad
vancement rather than in any public good.—
[Cheers.] Sir, you have been pleased to say
I have tho union of these States at heart.—
This, sir, is most true, for if there bo one ob
ject dearer to me than any other, it is the uni
ty, prosperity, and glory of this great Repub
lic ; and I confess frankly, sir, that I fear it is
iu danger. I say nothing of any particular
section, much less of the several candidates
before the people. I presume they arc all
honorable men. But, sir, what do we see? Au
exasperated feeling between the North and the
South, on the most exciting of all topics, re
sulting in bloodshed and organized military
array.
But this is not all. Wo see a political par
ty presenting candidates for the Presidency
and Vico Presidency, selected for the first time
from the free States alone, with the avowed
purpose of electing these candidates by suf
frages of one part of the Union only, to rule
over the whole United States. Can it be pos
sible that those who are engaged iu such a
measure can have seriously reflected upon the
consequences which must inevitably follow, in
case of success ?—[Cheers.] Can they have
the madness, or the folly to believe that our
Southern brethren would submit to be gov
erned by such a Chief Magistrate ? [Cheers.]
Would he be required to follow the same rule
prescribed by those who elected him, in mak
ing his appointments ? If a man living South
ot Mason and Dixon’s line be not worthy to be
President or Vice President, would it be pro
per to select one from the same quarter, as
one of his Cabinet Council, or to represent the
nation in a foreign country ? Or, indeed, to
collect the revenue, or administer the laws of
the United States ? If not, what new rule is
the President to adopt in selecting men for
office, that the people themselves discard in
selecting him ?
These arc serious, but practical questions
and in order to appreciate them fully, it is on
ly necessary to turn the tables upon ourselves.
Suppose *hat the South having a majority of
the Electoral votes, should declare that thev
would only have slaveholders for President and
Vico President; and should elect such by their
exclusive suffrages to rule over us atjhe North.
Do you think svo would submit to it? No, not
for a moment. [Applause.] And do you be
lieve that your Southern brethren are less sen
sitive on this subject than you are, or lees jeal
ous of their rights? [Tremendous cheering.]
If you do, let me tell you that you are mistak
en. And, therefore, you see that if this sec
tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to the
destruction of this beautiful fabric reared by
our forefathers, cemented by their blood, and
bequeathed to us as a priceless inheritance.
I tell you, my friends, that I speak warmly
ou this subject, for I feel that we are in danger.
I am determined to make a clean breast of it.
I will wash my hands of the consequences,
whatever they may be; and I tell you that we
are treading upon the brink of a volcano, that
is liable at any moment to burst forth and over
whelm tho nation. 1 might, by soft words,
hold out delusive hopes, and thereby win votes.
But 1 can never consent to be one thing to the
North and another to the South. I should des
piso myself if I could be guilty of such evasion.
[Tumultuous applause.] For my conscience
would, still ask with the dramatic poet
“ Is there* not some secret curse—
Some hidden thunder red with immortal wrath—
To Must the W’roteh who owes his itreatnes
To his country’s ruin ? (Cheers.)
Clay—“l had rather be right than be Presi
dent. [Enthusiastic and prolonged cheers.]
It seems to me impossible that those engaged
in this, can have contemplated the awful con
sequences ot success. If it breaks asunder
the bonds ot our Union, and spreads anarchy
and civil war through the land, what is it less
than moral treason ? Law and common sense
hold a man responsible for the natural conse
quences of his act, and must not those whose
acts tend to the destruction of the government,
be equally held responsible! (Applause.)
And let me also add, that whon the Union is
dissolved, it will not be divided into two Re
publics or two Monarchies, but broken into
fragments, and at war with each other.
New Iron Steamer for the Savannah River.
Mr. John A. Moore, of this city, has contracted
with Messrs. Harland & Hollingsworth, of Wil
mington, Delaware, for the construction of an
Iron steamer to run in the “Fashion Line,”
on our river. Tho dimensions are to be 158
(eet long, 45 feet beam, and 51 feet hold. She
is to be propelled by two stern-wheels, each
24 loot in diameter, and 18 feet face of buck
et; driven by two high-pressure engines, 22
inches diameter, 6 feet stroke, arrayed with
poppet balance valves; three boilers 15 feet
long, 40 inches diameter, with 28 tubes 4 inch
es m diameter each. This will be the widest
steamer ever built at Wilmington, and her im- 1
mense beam will enable her to carry a large
cargo on very little water, Her computed
draught of water i 6 12 inches; her carrying
capacity 800 Urns or 3200 bales of cotton
With a cargo of 1000 bales cotton, she will i
draw 24 inches; with 2000 bales, 36 inches.— !
Her speed will be great fora freighting boat
say 11 miles per hour up the river. She is to
be placed ou the line in September, and will
form anew era in boating on our river.—Au

Fifty Thousand Dollar Ring.
A wine dresser of Albano, near Rome, is said
to have found in a vineyard the celebrated
ring of Polycrates. This ring, the history of
which is f .miliar to all readers of Schillor’s
ballads, was brought to Rome after the
death of Poiyeratcs, 522 years before the birth
of Christ; it was seen also by Pliny, and men
tioned by him. The Emperor Augustus plac
ed it in a golden case, and deposited it for
safety in the Temple of Concord. The stone
of the ring is of considerable size, and oblong
in form. The engraving on it, by Theodore
of Samos, the son of Talikles, is of extraor
dinary fineness and beauty. It represents a
lyre with three bees flying about; below, ou
the right, a dolphin ; on the left, the head of
a bull. The name of the engraver is inscrib
ed in Greek characters. The upper surface of
the stone is slightly concave, not highly pol
ished, and one corner broken. It is asserted
that tbo possessor of this ring has been offer
ed §50,090 for it by an Englishman, but has
declined it, expecting to make a more profita
ble bargain with the Emperor Alexander.
Blue Ridge Rail Road.
We had tho pleasuro of learning, at Ander
son, that a portion of the iron for the Blue
Ridge Railroad had been purchased in Europe,
and was shipped for Charlest on. The cars will
be running on a portion of the Road, between
Anderson and Pendleton, by December next.
Large preparations arc making by the contrac
tors for carrying ou the work at the tunnel,
and the bridges and masonry along the line.
We met Judge Frost, at Belton, on his return
from the tunnel.
There is now another rail road on tho tapis
at Anderson, connecting Atlanta and Charles
ton. This is to be the great line of travel
from Washington City to New Orleans. It is
said the money necessary to construct this
road will be raised in tho cities of New Or
leans and New York. Wc suggested that it
would shorten, very much, the contemplated
rail road, to connect Newberry, and Chester,
and Anderson, and Atlanta, instead of build
ing a road all the way from Atlanta to Char
lotte.—Greenville (S. C.) Patriot.
Chemical Analyses in the Patent Office.
Dr. C. T. Jackson, of Boston, has been en
gaged by the Agricultural department of the
Patent Office, to travel through the countiy
and make c iumical analyses of various kinds,
with a view to determining the amount of nu
triment in different grain—the amount of tan
nin contained in the barks and other materials
used by tanners—tho determination of the
amount of phosphoric acid in the soils on the
sea-board, supposed to bo exhausted, as com
pared with the virgin s- ils of the West, and
other matt* rs connected with soils. Ho will

also various grasses and the soils best adapted
to their cultivation.

Costa Rioa Railway.
Despite the civil war in Central America, a
number of Liverpool gentlemen have issued
the prospectus of “The Costa Rica Railway,”
which is to extend from San Jose, the capital,
to the Pacific. The exclusive right has been
given for ninety nine years to Mr. Farrer. a
gentleman now in Liverpool, who has resided
tor many years in Costa Rica, authorizing him
to levy rates, which will give 20 per cent, on
the outlay, the receipts per annum being esti
mated at £9,706, and the expenses at £7,006.
Upwards of £2,000 shares have been taken
up already, and a contract for tho construction
ol ton miles of tho railway has been made.
