COLTJM'B tJS: Satnvrtny morning, Angaiit XU, 189 P. ItAKOKIV CITV CIRCULATION. Yellow Fever in Charleston. The Board of Health under date, Wednes day, 10 P. M m report that since their last publication, some new cases of Yellow Fever have occurred in the city, but no death. We learn from the Augusta Constitutionalist, that Hon. Robert Toombs passed through that city on Wednesday evening. Also, Hon. Charles Ready, of Tenn., A. O. P. Nicholson, Esq., of the Washington Union, and Hon. Benj. Fitz patrick, of Alabama. Hon. A. H. Stephens. We learn by a letter from Hon. J. F. Dow dell, published in the Auburn Gazette thut the Hon. Alex. 11. Stephens of this State, will ad dress the people at Opelika, Alabama, on Sat urday the flth of September, on the topics in volved in the Presidential Election. The Southern Quarterly Review. New Series. Vol. 1, No. 2—August, 1850. Edward H. Britton & Cos., publishers, Colum bia, S. C. We are in raceipt of the above number of the Southern Quarterly Review, one of the few periodicals, if not the only one in the United States, that challenges comparison witli the great British Quarterlies. It equals them in ability—in profundity of subject'and masterly treatment—and far excels them in its mechan ical getting up. The Review is now under the oditorial conduct of Dr. J. H. Thornwell, one of the master minds of the Union. The pres ent number contains tho following varied series of papers, to some ol which we may again re vert:—-Greek in the Middle Ages—Our Organs of Destructiveness—The Men of Science in the Miudlc Ages—lhe Infinite—Sleep and Dreams Miracles—North American Ornithology— The Crusades—Plato’s Phredon—Critical No tices. Tho price of tho Review is only $5 per an num ; it deserves the liberal support not only of Southerners but of every American who feels pride in the literary status and progress of his country. The Talladega Watch tower wants to know of us, whether tho block recently burned in Golds ville, Ala., was tho log cabin grocery, or the old corn (less) crib. We nro informed thut it was neither. Tho block was the anvil-block in a blacksmith shop, the only house burned. We further state for the edification of our con temporary that the paragraph about the tiro is circulating far and wide as a deplorable ca lamity. For ourselves we were not “sold;” when the paragraph was handed us, it was with the remark that wo could publish it, if we would, which led us to scent the mice, and make inquiries. Goldsvillo still survives! Her tiro department cousists of a large number of tin buckets and any quantity of willing hands to work them ; is also soon to be re inforced by tho addition of a hogshead on wheels. C. and A. Telegraph Company. The Apalachicola Advertiser is informed by the enterprising contractor, P. H. Musgrovc, Esq., for the Columbus and Apalachicola Tele graph Company, that there are already 100 miles of posts ready for the wires and that in the course of two weeks more, 50 miles addi tional will havo boon completed. Mr. M. says that he will have the line in operation as far south as Marianna by Ist November. Judge McLeau, of the Supreme Court, has written to tho Cincinnati Gazette iu regard to tho application made to him for a writ of ha beas corpus in the case of Robinson and others in confinement in Kansas, charged with trea son. Ho statos that as the indictment for troasou charged the offence as within the Con stitution, and that the defendants were arrest ed under a warrant issued by the court on tho indictment, he refused the writ, inasquich as illegality, tbe only ground for release, did not appeal - on the face of the papers. Texas Legislature. Mr. Bryan, on the 31st only, introduced iu the House a joint resolution, which requires the Govornor to convene a special Legislature on or before Ist of January, 1857, should the unti slavery candidate for the Presidency be elected ; and further, that the Governor for ward a copy of these resolutions to the Gov ernor of each slaveholding State. The resolu tion was referred to the Committee on State affairs. A letter from a bauk, continuing a genuine bill tor one thousand dollars, was, a sow days since, returned to the dead letter office, the prepayment having been omitted. This act of carelessness has probably thrown more or less blame on tho Post Office Department. Wm. A. Pratt, of Richmond, is in London, exhibiting tho painting of the “School of Athens,” iutended for tho University of Vir ginia, accompanied by lectures from himself. I he London Herald says the lecturer received “ a liberal round of applause.” A public meeting bus been called at Hous ton, Texas, to consider thu situation of J udgo Terry, ot San Francisco. The Judge was for- ! merly a citizen ot Houston, and his friends are j veiy indignant there as to his treatment by* the Vigilance Committee of San Francisco. Fred. Douglas has withdrawn the ticket of the Aboliouists from his paper, and gives two columns of reasons for supporting Fremont aud Dayton. Hie degree of LL. D. has been coufered up on lion. Charles Sumner, by Amhurst College. ihcjlailahassoe Sentinel states that applica- j tion will be made ut the next session of the I legislature of Florida for a charter of a Ruil -1 road from Quincy to the Georgia line, in the 1 “direction of Baiubridge. A lad named Joseph Tyler, son of J. D. Ty ler, of Montgomery county, Tcun., was killed a lew days ago, while engaged in a playful game of fisticuff with a student at his father's school. R R. Meeting in Bainbridge. We learn from tiie Bainbridge Argus that a Kail Road meeting was held iu that town on the 14th, D. H. Hays in the chair, to take into consideration the recommendations of the Board of Directors of the .Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad company, to tho citizens of j Savannah and Southwestern Georgia. Sixty delegates were appointed by the chair to represent the Railroad interests of Decatur county, at the Convention to bo held in Thom asville on the 4th proximo. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Sims, who said He had no doubt the people of Thomas and Lowndes would compromise upon the Bruns wick line and still less doubt of the inclination of the peoplo of Savannah to come to it. That the true interest of Decatur was to use her in fluence to produce that result. But in the event that a compromise could not he effected upon the Brunswick line to Thomasvillo and from thence to Bainbridge, our delegates ought to give to the Savannah, Albany and Gulf com pany assurances that if they will run their road from the initial point, direct to Bain bridge ; the people of Decatur would favoj the move and stand by them to the last. * Atlanta & LnGrango Railroad. “Wo have been favored,” says the Savannah Republican, “with the Report of the President and Superintendent of the Atlanta & LaG range Rail Road, from which we make the following statement: Kni'iriiigfi of the road for the year ending 30th June 1278,123.74 Expenses of management for the year 104,343.00 Leaving not jirofitH fur year's operations $173,780.74 in-duct liftlnnco of intercut acc0unt.513,957.84 “ two dividends of $4 per share each 68,044.80 —.72,002.64 Applicable to reserved fund $101,778.10 This statement only shows what has been done the past year, during the greater part of which time the road has been under the man ugement of Geo. G. Hull, Esq., as Suporinten nent. He certainly can congratulate himself on his suoccss, and the stockholders on their profits. The fact that the Hon. Juo. P. King is President, is a sufficient guarantee for its continuing to be a paying road. ♦ The Atlanta papers contain nothing in re gard to the elopement from that city. We pre sume they will get wind of it some time during the present century, and put it under their “latest news” head. The Savannah Republi can says:—Tn the “Elopement” paragraph yestorday, ive were too fast in saying that throe children of one of the parties were placed at the institution of the Sisters of Mer cy to board. The ladies of that institution have not seen nor heard of the children allu ded to. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph states that numbers of cattle and horses are dying on the prairie, in consequence of the scarcity of wa ter. This has been an unfortunate year for the stock in that State. Great numbers per ished from cold last winter, and now others are dying from heat and thirst. Ail old line Whig writes to the Boston Times that lie has a nephew who wants to acquire a military education, and wishes to know which would be the best —sending him to West Point or the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Prof. Mell, formerly of Mercer University, Penfield, Las been elected President of the Cherokee Baptist College, at Cassville, Ga. The last Tuskegee Baptist contains an ac count of Deacon John’s trip to the lower re gions. The Deacon is the first man we ever heard es who returned from that latitude. The election in Texas, on tlio 4th inst., was for I'hief Justice and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, Attorney General, Comptrol ler, Treasurer, District Judges and county offi cers. The Clergy on Hoops. The Courrier des Etats Unis, has a Paris correspondent who writes that the French Em press has declined putting herself at the head or the reactionary movement against hoops, leaving the Clergy to tight the battle single handed : and adds : One of them, in a sermon, lately told his fair devotees that, according to the Scripture, the gates of Paradise were exceedingly narrow, and that consequently they could not hope to got in with tlieir dresses spreading so enor mously. Another, un Archbishop, being pres ent at a soiree in the Palais de St. Cloud, strove in vain to make his way between two rows ol’ ladies, which resembled’two mountain ranges of gauzes and flowers. One of them, while endeavoring to make way for him, said : “ Excuse us, Monseigneur ; the dressmakers put so much stuff in our skirts’ . ‘That there is none left for the waists,’ answered the witty prelate, who pushed on between a double row and resplendent exhidition of beautiful white shoulders, without turning his eyes to them very much, or being under the necessity of using the handkerchief of Tartuffo. Melancholy Suicide. Mr. Ldw. \\. Moore, a young man in the employment of Mr. Charles A. Dickey of this city, committed suicide yesterday about one o’clock p. in. lie was seen to pass by this of fice in a cab, aud it was remarked by those of his acquaintance who observed him at the time, that lie was remarkably pale and must have been sick. Immediately on reaching his cham ber wo learu he attempted to cut his throat with a razor, but failing iu that, he applied the muzzle of a rifle to his mouth aud shot himself and expired immediately. The causo of this sad act, we learn, was a sevre attack of neuralgia, combined with great nervousness and the anxiety occasioned by a press of business. —Mobile Tribune. Hailstorm. On Monday afternoon a terrible hailstorm swept over a portion of New Hampshire. In Manchester rain and hail fell heavily for two hours. In Londonderry the hail-stones fell “larger than largest Baldwin apples.” In Bos ton glass was broken, vines demolished and the standing crops much injured. At Squog the meeting house was struck by,lightning and slightly Injured, the lightning-rod broken, a large stone step moved from its place, some ■clnp-boarding ripped off and the head of a large post split. hlri.

IL, South Carolina, has recently been obliged to resign liis position aud return North, because of his approval of Senator Sumner’s course and his expressed opposition to Southern institutions. This is only one of the many instances in which North ern preachers have been compelled to leave the South on account of their hostility to South ern principles. The editor of the North Caro lina Christian Advocate advises them to stay at home until both preachers and people at the North get a better temper and learn more of the principles and spirit of Christ and Ilis Apostles. It is not alleged that Mr. 8., acted imprudently, but his known political opinions rendered him un-fit for tho ministerial work among the people of Barnwell.— Petersburg Ex press. Princely Display. A fact which will give some idea of the splendor Prince Paul Esterhazy is to appear in at the Russian Emperor’s Coronation, Moscow, is, that each of the six horses, reserved exclu sively for his personal use, is valued at from eight thousand to ten thousand florins— s3,ooo to $4,000. The cloth of his favorite horse is a tiger’s skin, the edges of which are ornamented with brilliants, on which his fami ly arms are designed in diamonds. This luxu ry will be understood, when we mention that the diamonds of the Esterhazy family repre sent a greater value than all its other property put together. French Immigration. The Bas Canada states that fifteen families of French farmers from Normandy and fifty two individuals from Belgium have arrived, to settle on the government lands, in Lower Can ada, and they are only the first instalment of a very large French emigration expected there during the present season. It is believed that these 15 families from Normandy are a larger emigration from France to Canada than lias taken place in any one year since the conquest of the province. Adjournment of Congress. Tho General Appropriation bills have nil been passed, excepting for the Army; and this, as is well known, was defeated on account of the “Republicans”adhering to their amend ment restricting the operations of the military in Kansas, and providing for the disarming of the militia of that territory. The bill made appropriations to the extent of fourteen mil lions of dollars. The extent of the damage which will thus be occasioned is beyond com putation, especially when we take into consid eration the Indian wars prevailing on tho Pa cific coast, aud tho paralysis with which the army will be afflicted. Hostile operations cannot be oarried forward on credit, arid no mouey can be drawn from the Treasury except iu'pursuance of law. Besides, the operations at the various arsenals and armories will have to be suspended in a great measure, perhaps altogether, until an army bill shall be passed mt a future session. There is some talk of an •extra session, but this could not bo consum mated iu a less period than sixty days, aud •we doubt whether the extreme measure will be resorted to, especially as the regular ses sion would then not be far distant.— Cor. Balt. Clipper. A Sextuple Bond. Tliore is an old, gray pussy cat in Newark, •who has recently hud an addition to her fami ly of six kittens, all of which are joined to gether near the hind legs. In lifting one up, you raise the whole, like a hunch of bananas. This interesting group of felinity seems to live very harmoniously together, with the excep tion that neither one can tell which is its own tail! These latter appendages are so twisted and intertwined that even the grave and staid motb.c - c il herself cannot unravel the myste ry, apd hence the kittens quarrel occasionally. TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS. Later from Europe. New York, Aug. 20.—The Africa has ar rived with Liverpool dates to the 9th instant, being three day 9 later. James McHenry’s Circular notices no new features iu the market; quotations are steady, demand fair. The sales for the week amount ed to 63,000 bales. QUOTATIONS. Fair Orleans 7d Middling Orleans Old. Middling Mobile ‘...6]d. Fair Uplands'. G|d. Middling Uplands 6 3-16d. Tho stock of cotton at Liverpool was 770,- 000 bales including (148,000 bales of American. Consols closed at 95. The market for Flour and Wheat has been unchanged since Tuesday, Aug. sth. In In dian corn we have no change to notice. At Manchester trade was satisfactory. The Bullion in the Bank of England has slightly increased. Two London firms, Bickford & Keene, and Courtney, Kingsford & Cos., had suspended. The Mexican bondholders were dissatisfied with the position of their claims and had re solved to memorulizc Comonfort upon the sub ject. They would also ask the British Govern ment to enforce their demands, and suggest if no relief is granted, that they will invite the Americans to buy the bonds and pay them in cash or territory. The terms of the surrender of Saragossa are not known. Passports have been given to all persons wishing to go to France, and all persons arrested have been released. The Rusiau officials have resumed authority iu the Crimea. The fleets have Test the Black Sea and every thing has been satisfactorily settled. Later from Kansas. Sr. Louis, Aug. 19.—Accounts from Kansas state that Gen. Lane, with men under his com mand, lias entered Topeka. Later accounts say that Brown’s company have attacked and burnt Georgia Colony.— Six persons are reported as having been killed, and Col. Treadway’s company were taken pris oners. It is also reported that the Freesoilers in their attack ou Franklin had seven of their men killed, and that three hundred were wounded during the conflict. A great deal of excitement prevails in the Territory, as it is understood that the pro-sla very men are making preparations for a gene ral attack on the Freesoilers. A meeting has been held in Kansas city, at which the pro slavery men resolver to send two thousand men into the Territory. The Missourians have constructed a number of block houses at different points, and with a plentiful supply of arms have garrisoned them. A call is made for a general muster of Missou rians. The attack ou Franklin was to capture arms collected there, and the Freesoilers captured one block house, containing 60 stand of arms and a cannon. Fillmore Meeting in Albany. Albany, Aug. 15.—The Fillmore meeting on Thursday night was one of the largest ever held in this city. Delegates were prosent from New York, Troy, Lansingburg, Green Island, Cohoes and Greenbush. It is estimated that not less than 18,000 persons were on the ground and in the hall of the Capitol. The principal speakers were F. A. Talmadge, W. C. Hasbrouck, Francis Gran ger, George Copway, E. T. Wood, Thomas 11. Bond, E. O. Perrin, Samuel Glover, of Troy, and others. Several bands of music and a large number of banners, transparencies, &c., accompanied the procession, which extended from the Capitol stone around tbe Park, down State street to the Post Office, and some dis tance along Broadway. John N. Wilder was the President. Steamer Empire Sunk. Memphis, Aug. 19.—The steamer Empire has been sunk, near this city. No particulars given. Fire on the Steamer Asia. New York, Aug. 20. — A fire occurred on board of the steamer Asia to-day, before she put to sea. The loss is about fifty thousand dollars. This was her regular day of sailing, and it is presumed she will have to delay her trip. Presidential Proclamation. Washington, Aug. 18.—The Cabinet held a meeting this afternoon, and decided on the fol lowing proclamation, calling an extra session of Congress to furnish supplies for the army. By the President of the United States of Ameri ca.—A Proclamation. \Vliereas, whilst hostilities exist with various Indian tribes on the remote frontiers of the United States, aud whilst in other respects the public peace is seriously threatened, Congress has adjourned without granting the necessary supplies for the army, depriving the Executive of the power to perform his duty iu relation to the common defence and (security, and an ex traordinary occasion has thus arisen for the assembling of the two Houses of Congress, 1 do, therefore, by this, my Proclamation, con vene said Houses to meet at the Capitol, in the City of Washington, on Thursday, the 21st day ot August instant, hereby requiring the respective Senators aud Representatives then and there to assemble to consult and deter mine ou such measures as the state of the Union may seem to require. In testimony whereof, I have caused the Seal ol the United States to be hereunto af fixed and signed the snmo with my hand. FRANKLIN PIERCE. Hon. Sterling G. Cato. We were much pleased to see this gentleman iu our Village last week. He has taken ad vantage of a brief intermission of official du ties to make a visit to his friends in Barbour. Tho Judge represents the prospects of the South in Kansas as very good. We are glad to welcome him once more in good health and wish him a pleasant return and an honorable and useful career in Kansas Clayton (Ala.) Banner, 21st. Fatal Effects of Guano. Mr. Silas Gravel, a resident of Lower Ma rion, Montgomery county, Pa., lately died un der these painful circumstances. It appears he was preparing a lot of guano to sow prepara tory to putting in a turnip crop, and had at the time a number of sores upon the back of liis hands. Into one of these sores the guano penetrated, and in u day or two after lie expe rienced a sharp pain in one of his arms, which extended rapidly to the shoulder, and from thence to liis body, growing most acute, and causing his whole system to become swollen. Physicians were sent for, who pronounced the case beyond medical skill. In this state he lingered in great agony for about a week, when death relieved him of his sufferings. A son having asked tiie father's age, the fa ther replied: Your age is 21 years ; to which if five-eighths of both ages are added, the sum will be equal to mine. What was the father’s age ? IVhere is the Algebra class ? The W elsh Presbyterians intend to erect a house of worship in Philadelphia, where the gospel will be preached in Welsh and English. Disgraceful Affair. A most disgraceful affair occurred in our <ji;, on last Monday night, the 11th inst. The fact, are as follows, as related to us by the sufferer of this outrage himself. Some two month ago, a man who says his name is John Saul,. berry, came to this city from Sumterville, 8. (. and engaged to do work on the Marion Branch Road. While in the city on Monday night, young man by the name of Perkins, at the City Hotel, proposed that they would g 0 t 0 Nance’s Tank to bath; while at the tank’ some seven persons ran up disguised, gathered held of Saulsberry, earned him by force some J three hundred yards up the river to an old J shanty at a brick yard, stripped him of hi? I clothing, and most inhumanly whipped him 1 with a cow-hide and a paddle, and blacked hi- I person. They then carried him to a house o! a illfame, and with licks upon his person, forced! him to break through a window into the house 1 they then took him to the house of a negr 1 woman, made him liug and kiss the uegr wench, and perform various other interesting I and amusing (to them) tricks. He says the’ then took him to the Exchange drinking hous. and forced liquor down him, and finally carrie, him to the porch of the City Hotel, where, ai ter inflicting quite a number of stripes with cow-hide and paddle, turned him loose perfect ly naked, and less of all the money he had- | sl3 20. Saulsberry says the only reason the*, persons give him for this barbarous and un | lawful outrage were, that he had failed to par ) his hotel bill of about S3O, and that he ha ; been taking buggy rides with some young la-a dies. We know nothing about the previous Liston 1 of Saulsberry, and had never seen him unti 1 he called at our office on yesterday to exhibit ;i to us the laceration of his flesh made by these jj men. He seems to be a respectable individuai f and to our mind it is one of the most heinous j outrages that has ever been perpetrated in 1 this State, and it is just one of those violation! 1 of the rights of persons that should be made 1 an example of. We denounce in the roundest 1 terms nil species of mob-law. We have good 1 laws, and if there is a violation of these laws. - we have honest and upright men enough in this | city and county to have those laws enforced. 1 and therefore, there could have been no excuse 1 for this outrage in our city. —Selma [Ala. I Sentinel. Chinese Gleanings. The Chinese, as our readers know, are ven different from the inhabitants of most of the I heathen countries. Among the points forffl which they are remarkable, is the numbers: 9 their books with the mixture of wisdom and J folly with which they are filled. As sped 9 mens, we shall now give our readers a fen I of their proverbs. These will show that, while i there is much darkness in their hearts, there H is some light also. Prosperity is a blessing to the good butajl curse to the evil. Better to be upright with proverty, than 1 wicked with plenty. If you love your son, give him plenty of the 1 cudgel; if you liate him, cram him with dam- j ties. A word once spoken, a coach with four | horses cannot overtake it and bring it back. J They who respect themselves will be hoc- | ored; but they who do not care about their M character, will be despised. Hear one side, and you will be in the dark; ;| hear both sides and all will be clear. It is foolish to borrow trouble from to-mor- 1 row. To do good and wish people to know it, i;i I not true goodness. When doing what is right, the heart is easy j and becomes better every day, but when prac- I ticing deceit, the mind labors and every day 1 gets worse. Those who touch vermilion become red, aid J those who touch ink become black; so peopif I take their character from their stupid com- j! panions. A gem uncutis of no use; ..o a man untaught j is stupid. He who labors with the mind, govern- 1 others; lie who labors with the body, is got- I erned by others. Our readers will not fail to see how nearly a some ot the proverbs now quoted agree with i Scripture truth. These, we have no doubt. j have been preserved from very ancient times | hen the Chinese want to describe a person 1 who pretends to be very brave, and makes a § great parade in order to show bis courage, 1 they say that “he is cutting off’ a hen’s bead 9 with a battle ax.” A coward who boasts of his courage they cal! J a paper tiger. They compare a person who pretends to bel ; what he is not, to a fox who tries to look m | noble and strong as a tiger. If a person is ignorant of books, they say ‘Turn him upside down, but not a drop of j will come out of him.’ They describe un unstableman who does not. I know which way to take or how to act, us onei I who fears ghosts at the front door, and thieve* 11 at the back.. It is a common saying, that ‘a greedy man j ] is a serpent who wants to swallow an elephant- 1 He who chatters to no purpose, ‘climbs *[ I tree to catch a fish. ‘those who learn little from what they see - I are like the dogs of Shuh barking at the sun i — Juv. Miss. Mag. Iron Cars. t Since the recent terrible slaughter on tbij North Pennsylvania Railroad, public attention! has been turned to tho necessity of havingl I ears built ot a totally different material tin-! j wood, more particularly for passenger tram l portation. Dr. La Mothe has recently punn ed an Iron Car which is building at PattersoD N. J. It will be of the ordinary shape ot dimensions, being designed to sent 50 passu | gers, and rest on two four-wheeled truck; The body of the car will consist of strong ir ; ! bauds, twelve or fifteen inches apart, runefc j lengthwise and crosswise, and secured by riv ets at their intersections. This will constitu j the frame work, which will be covered -if sheet iron on the flooring, and iron panels v-H glass windows, on the side. Ventilators v> * be liberally supplied at the top.

Frempnt Ladies in Council. At a recent pic-nic party held in this vicit I ty, the “ Republican” ladies proceeded ; 1 forma “Jessie circle” when a damsel jf went for “ Fremont, free love, and a free tig t: j entered the ring, and pitching into a masculp j , acquaintance who had offended her, gave 1 ‘ particular jessio, to the great detriment of !>■’ j physiognomy, clothing and tout ensemble-” This pugilistic feat was duly applauded, m may be oonsidered as among the first fruit the feminine political enthusiasm got up ! ‘ partisans of “ John and Jessie.” Let the l’-” j isians look to their laurels !
