Touching Story.—The London Sailors’ Magazine contains a statement, copied from a Moravian paper at Labrador, of the wreck of an English vessel—the Graham—in Hudson’s Bay, and the hardships and privations of a por ** tion of the crew during a lonelv voyage in ip their boats, of nearly eight hundred miles, to one of the outermost islands in the Bay ofOk ak. Here they were approached by two Es quimaux ‘‘savages,” in their kayaks. At first the sight of them inspired alarm, but upon an examination of their countenances, the Cap tain was induced to believe they were not ill disposed. On nearing the shore, they found four Esquimaux families had their dwelling there. The Esquimaux, on seeing the destitute condition of the shipwrecked voyagers, gave them a large cod-fish, and invited them on shore. But not altogether relieved of appre hension, they did not venture at once to ac cept the invitation. At length the few that were able to walk went on shore, where they heard the woman channting, as they afterwards learned, a hymn of praise to God for their deliverance ; saw them afterwards engaged in washing their clothes ; and presently preparing a meal of * - fish and seal ’s flesh for their refreshment ; ‘he hardy mariners were overcome, says the wri ter, and burst into tears. The secret of lhi« conduct was in the fact that a Christian mis sion had been established, long before, on that dreary coast, and thus “icy Labrador” respond ed to the benign influence of Christianity- A Model Stove. —ln section No. 9, Quin cy Hail, the latest improvement in the Stove line which has come under our notice is that for which letters patent have just issued to Messrs. Jewett & Root, of the Eagle Furnace, Buffalo. N. Y.. for their “ Folding Door Parlor Stove,” designed either for wood or coal. It combines both beauty and utility in an emi nent degree. It is arranged with Blowers, which are folded in a pocket and covered with a case door, when not in use. They are closed on either side of the grate, and swinging upon hinges, when opened fall into a recess, over which is an outer door corresponding with and forming a part of the from of the stove, which entirely covers them from view. This convenient and original arrangement, forwhich the patent was granted, avoids all trouble of handing loose blowers. No soot or ashes find their way to the floor or carpet, and the stove presents the same appearance whether the blowers are in use or snugly hidden away in the pocket. It can be used as an open or close stove, as occasion may require, and canaccom module itself to a strong or light draught chim ney, and by its having a double set of blowers, a full or half draught can be given, as may be desired. It thus combines all the advantages of the heat and convenience of the stove, with the pleasantness of the fire-place—a desid eratum which has long been sought after by stove men. We understand rights will be sold for those sections of the United States which will not interfere with the interest of the pro prietors.—Boston Transcript. Something must be done.— The editor of the Providence Journal, in a satirical article on the subject of publishers of newspapers working for nothing and finding themselves, says : “ We have noticed several atrocious cases where editors had the audacity to demand pay for cost of publishing matters of the high est public importance, such as resolu tions of thanks to steamboat captains, puffs of new schools, ward meetings" marriages, Mand obituary notices of infant children. Some thing must be done to put a stop to this, or editors will soon begin to think that they have the same rights as other people.” I The Submarine Telegraph between Dover and Calais was laid during the last week of August, and England is now connected with the continent telegraphically. The operafon of laying the wires was performed bv the aid of a steamer. Between the paddle-wheels, in the centre of the vessel, was a gigantic drum or wheel, nearly fifteen feet long, and seven feet in diameter, weighing seven tons, and fixed on a strong framework. Upon it, was coiled up, in careful, close convolutions, about thirty miles of telegraphic wire, one tenth of an inch in diameter, encased in a covering of gotta percha, the thickness of a little finger. The point proposed to be reached—Cape Grinez—the nearest landmaik to the English Coast, and between Calais and Boulogne, is a distance of 21 miles, so that a surplus supply of 9 miles ot wire was held in reserve for the purpose of slackening. The route was B|p|Arked by a series of pilot buoys The ves sel steamed out at the rate of three or four miles an hour into the open sea, in a direct track for Cape Grinez. The operation of paying out the thirty miles of wire commenced on a signal to the sailors to “ go ahead with the wheel, and pay out the wire.” which was continuously streamed out over a roller at the stern of the vessel, the men, at every 16th of a mile, being busily engaged in riveting on to the wlrd squarh leaden dathpa of weights ol from 15 to*2s lbs., which had the effect of sinking the wire in the bottom of the sea, which, on the English coast, commences at a depth of 30 feet, and goes on varying from that to 100 and 180 feet. The whole of the casting out and sinking was accomplished with great precision and success, owing to the favorable state of the day. This is the most extensive experiment yet made in carrying the telegraph under water. tUhrtmiclc Sentinel. AUG UST A , Gr A : SATURDAY MORNING, .... SEPT. 31. - 1 ■■ *i ■ , '1 he Northern Mail failed last night beyond Charleston. Opinions of the Press. We might fill our paper with extracts from the journals of the South, of both political parties, expressing their deep and heartfelt gratification at the settlement by Congress of the agitating questions of the day, but we can not without prejudice to our usual variety give place to them. We may, however, be pardoned for transfering to our columns the following from the “ Richmond (Va.) Enqui rer,” a paper that basso long held such promi nent rank among the democracy of the South: “ We have but little room to-day for comments on the copious and important facts which we spread before our readers. The last week was one of the most momentous in the history of this great confede racy. The Housj, after exhibiting a spirit of fac tion and a trifling with the highest destinies of man kind, unworthy of the Representatives of a free and enlightened people, finally, and with sudden alacrity, came up to the work before them. On Friday they passed me Texas and the New Me !can bills con jointly —and on the next day (Saturday) the Califor nia bill by 84 majority and the Utah bill by 9 majori • ty. The struggle has been intense, and the result most momentous. Por a long time the dark angel of disunion hovered over our land—but the events of the past few days have chated away the lurid spirit, the skies have brightened, and the patriot breathes free once more, at the prospect of the continued peace and progress of the,free institutions of this, the only genuine Republic on the face of the globe. While we are free to say, that some things have gone far differently from what we had hoped, yet, in review ing the enormous difficulties in the path, we cannot but conclude that the people generally will acquiesce in the settlement of the slavery question, taken as a whole. e ask attention to the proceedings of Saturday , which we give at length. They require no expla nation. The salient points will strike the attention of the intelligent reader. We confess our surprise that the California bill has passed so easily. We had expected that its opponents would have coalesced to emba tressif not defeat it, by parliamentary ma neuvering. The attempt was made twice, but only ten votes could be rallied to the call of the yeas and nays, to effect the obj. ct. We have all the time been satified that the bill had such strength that it must pass, (It received, indeed, the votes of 21 members from slaveholding states!) Our only hope was that the limits of the s‘ ite might have been re duced —and we have more than once expressed the belief that such a result could have been attained, had not the adjustment been so uncompromisingly resisted in the Senate. It is proper to add, that many southern men, (Mr. Toombs among them) prefer the admCdon of California with her present boundaries —on the ground that, if she were divided, the two states would send four free-soil Senators, instead of tico as at present. Again, it is believed by many, that slave labor will be found to be advantageous for the working of the mines, and that, to attain that ob ject, the people of California will amend (heir Con stitution accordingly—self-interest being the rule of action. “ Os course we may expect fierce denunciation, in some quarters, of the whole batch of measures which have passed Congress, and which, we believe, will crush Northern fanaticism, by removing the pabulum upon which they rioted. * ♦ ♦ * Upon a settlement of the irritating questions which have perilled the Union, we trust that a good spirit will animate the two sections of the Union—that fanati cism will be put down at tha North, and that a more just regard for Southern rights will infuse itselfinto the Northern portion of the confederacy. We have happily escaped from the precipice of disunion. Let the North gather an useful lesson from what has just passed, and learn to practice more justice and regard for our constitutional rights.” But we have seen no journal which seemed to feel greater joy, than the Florence Ala., Gazelle, one of the leading Democratic jour nals of North Alabama. The editor seems to have been thrown into an ecstacy of delight. Hear him : *■ We are too happy this week to write Editorial. Ail we can say is, that the compromise bills have passed—the Union is saved, and Rhetlites and dis unionites are numbered among the things that were. If we were not the big dog among tho Sons of Tem perance—we should unquestionably take a spree. Friends, rejoice with exceeding great joy.” The Tuscaloosa Flag, another prominent and Jeadicg organ of the Democratic party of that State, remarks: “ California is admitted as a State, the Texas Bill, the New Mexico and Utah Bills, without the Wil mot proviso, have become laws before this time. While we deeply deplore the admission of California v. ith her enormous limits, and could have wished that other counsels on this matter could have pre vailed, we wish it distinctly understood that we are not among those who would dissolve the Union on that account. The whole matter of admitting California we believe to have been informal, to say the least, and was unwisely hastened by executwe interference. But other States have been admitted without passing through the preparatory steps, and though we tnir.k both Congress and the last adminis tration are highly to blame, the one for improper in terference, the other for not reducing her limits we repeat it, that we are not in favor of a dissolution of the Union for this reason alone. “We are firm believers in the resolutions of’9B and ’99—and guided by them, we do not think this action of Congress so “dangerous” in its tendency as to call upon the South for the ‘extreme physic’ of secession. The remedy of State interposition ac cording to Mr. Madison, Is only to he invoked by the States on‘occasions deeply and essentially affecting the vital principles of their political system. Acting then upon the principles thus laid down, we are not in favor of a separation of the Union, because Cali fornia is admired into the Union. Though its ad mission may be illegal and unconstitutional, still it is not in our opinion, sufficient cause for destroying the confederacy. “ The Texas Bill, as we understand it, if accepta ble to her, should unhesitatingly be accepted by the Southern people. Fur the surrender to the United States of a portion of her Territory in the North Western part of the State—whicl though large, is yet but a very small portion of her vast domain —she is to receive $10,000,000 to be paid her by the United States. This is not only highly beneficial to Texas, but will tend g eatly to strengthen the South and her institutions. Texas it will be remembered has never ceded her public lands to the U. States, but reserv ed them as fund to pay off the debt created when she was a separate Government. She, for a surren der of but a small portion of her Territory, receives enough to discharge her public debt, and will retain for her own use the bulk of her vast domain. This will p;t her in a condition which will invite emigra tion from every part of the country —the extent and fertility of her soil—the cheapness of her lands—the exemption from high tuxes, will form inducements to settlers, such as no new stale has ever held out, and we may speedily look to see the State divided into several new slave Slates. In this view we re gard tho Texas Bill as a decided benefit, to the South —and look upon it as the future means of strength ening our institutions. Upon the whole, we are glad the troublesome question is settled, and we shall rejoice if it be the means of restoring harmony to a distracted country. Governor Quitman of Mississippi, has ap pointed a State Central Committee, consisting of twelve gentlemen, to select such articles as may be submitted by the citizens of that State as most suitable for exhibition at the great In dustrial Convention to be held at London in May, 1851 -aisr Vm i a?-. Zt~t~ 6dttV«Rtt(Mi The following is the act of the last Legisla ture under which the Governor is expected to call a Convention : An Act to authorize and require the Governor of the State of Georgia tj call a Convention of the ;people of this State, and to appropriate money for the same. Whereas, the non-slaveholding States have for a series of years perseveringly interfered most wrong fully with the institution of slavery at the South, by such aggressive measures of interference as to ren der it no longer a question of doubt that the Federal Legislature will soon adopt such restrictive measures against the institution of slavery as to trammel, fetter, and confine it within certain geographical limits never contemplated by the original parties to the constitu tional compact; and whereas Georgia, in her sove reign capacity as a State, has delegated no other power to the Federal Government than those found in the Constitution of the United States, and believ ing that her best interests, and her honor as a sove reign and independent government, require that she should meet all encroachments in a calm and manly spirit of resistance: Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in Gen eral Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That should the Congress of the United States pass any law prohibiting slavery or involuntary servitude in any territory of the United Slates, or any law abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, or any law prohibiting the slave trade between the States where slavery may exist, or admit into the United States as a State of the Confederacy the sparsely peopled Territory of Cali fornia and New Mexico, or should the Governor of this State receive at anytime satisfactory evidence that any slave or slaves having escaped from this State, and that such slave or slaves is or are refused to be given up to the proper owner, by the authority of the State in which such fugitive or fugitives may be found, then, or in either of the foregoing events, it shall be and it is hereby made the duty of the Gover nor of this State, within sixty days thereafter, to issue his proclamation, ordering an election to be held in each and every county to a Convention of the people of this State, to convene at the Seat of Government within twenty days after said election. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the coun ties now entitled to two Representatives in the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of this State, shall each be entitled and shad elect four de legates to said Convention, and the counties which are entitled to one representative shall elect two dele gates to said Convention. Sec. 3. An 1 be it further enated, That said elec tion for delegates shall be conducted and held in the same manner as elections for members of the Legisla ture now held in this State, and that all returns of elections shall be forwarded to the Governor of this State, who shall upon application furnish each dele gate elected with certificates of election. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the sum of thirty thousand dollars be and the same is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of said Conven tion, and that the members of said Convent ion shall by vote regulate their per diem pay and mileage. Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That said Con vention shall elect all officers necessary to their or ganization. Approved, Feb, 8, 1850. The remains of Capt. John Gwinn, of the United States Navy, who died at Palermo, (Sicily.) Sept, 4th, 1849, were brought home in the U. S, ship Erie. For the Chronicle 8? Sentinel. The authoritative statement in the last Fede ral Union, leaves no doubt but that Gov. Towns will call the Convention contemplated by the act of the last Legislature, to consider what mode and measure of redress Georgia should adopt, because of the admission of California. Approving as I do the course pursued by our Senators in Congress, and by our Representatives, Stephens,Toombs, Cobb, Owen and Wellborn, upon the questions which have arisen out of our Territorial ac quisitions from Mexico, I would suggest to the several Counties in which these gentle men reside, the propriety of sending them as delegates to the Convention. They have re presented Georgia in Congress with fidelity and ability, they understand the questions at issue, and the true interests of Georgia—they are at the same time attached to the Union of the Slates, and the rights of the South—their voices should be heard in the Convention. Floyd. A NEW GRAPE. The Lincolnton (N. C.) Republican, gives the following account of a new Grape Vine, called the Lincoln Grape, from its being first found iu that county, and which as now attract ing much attention. A few days since, we accompanied our friend, Dr. Butt, into his Vineyard, which has been planted and brought to its present highly productive condition all within three or four years. The sight presealed to us, on catering, would have thrown an excitable epicure into ecstaiics. Although there appeared to be a little too much shade to admit of abundant growth, and the ripening process in its highest per fection, yet the large, full, rich clusters, apparently resting on each other, hung, in a luscious profuse mass, all over and among the thrifty vines. The Doctor has not less than twenty-five or thirty varieties—the Catawba and other choice native pro ductions, the Isabella, the best French Wine, and some eight or ten others of the most celebrated grapes, all together presenting a checkered scene of extreme beauty, ofevery color, from nearly a clear white to the darkest hue ; but none was to us half so attrac tive as the deep-blue, though not very large Lincoln Grape, which has recently been taken from its wild state in the woods, and cultivated with such surpris ing success, by Dr. Buttand a few others. The vine is ot a vigorous growth, and it is far the most prolific bearer we have ever seen. The bunches are large, and in general so completely full, that not another can grow upon the cluster; and the flavor of the grape is much superior to any other we have evej tasted. In this we are not singular ; for we are in formed by the Doctor, that every one of his numerous visitors, before being informed which is the natural growth of Lincoln County, invariably selects the Lincoln Grape as far the most deliciously flavored of ajl the excellent qualities growing in his vineyard. The produce of a single vine of the Lincoln G'rapo growing in this county, is almost incredible. The quantity is estimated, by a Reverend gentleman of the first respectability and others who visited it this season, to be not less than one hundred bushels ! The Lincoln Grape, when its superiority becomes generally known, promises to become the popular grape of North America. The growth ofthe vine is more vigorous, it is a more prolific bearer, the grancs ripen more evenly, are leas liable to rot, aud the fla vor is much finer than any other cultivated here • but how much of this ia owing toils adaptation to’this soil and climate, of which it is a native, we are not prepared to say. If like the Catawba, which is also a native of Lincoln county, it flourishes elsewhere as well, its cultivation will, in a very short time, become general. Too much credit cannot be awarded to Dr Butt for the the pains he Uas taken to excite an interest in the science of horticulture, aud in the cultivation of the soil generally. Gin Manufactory Burnt.— On Thursday night last, about II o’clock, the Steam Cotton Gin Manufactory and Saw and Grist Mills of A. D. King & Co , situated about three miles below this city near the Coosa River, were consumed by tire, nothing having been saved but the books of the concern. The fire orig inated in the upper story, and cannot he ac -The Joss ,s eat »'«ated at about slo,Uoo.no insurance. This is the second catastrophe which has befallen the enterprising proprietors of these Mills, within the last eighteen months, either of which would have served to weaken the perseverance of an ordinary mind ; but we understand that Mr. King is preparing, already to erect another establishment upon the ruins of the late one. Success to him.— Rome South erner 19//*. Ihh River at Sr. Louis—The dike from Bloody Island to the Illinois shore, opposite St Louis, is nearly completed.

The effect of this wash will be to improve the harbor, and carry away Duncan’s Island affording a landing along the whole front of the city. From the Columbus Enquirer, The Convention, It is generally supposed that the Governor will call a Convention, and in view of such an event there is beginning to manifest itself a small caving in on the part of the disunionists They have found that the people will not stand their wild and dangerous doctrines, and will not send delegates to that Convention who are bent on the destruction of the government. Hence they have attempted to ease off on se cession,then to compromise or non intercourse and finally some of them are liberal enough to leave the mode and measure of redress to the discretion of the Convention. Well this is hauling in your horns smartly. But are the people so green as to be humbugged by any such stuff? The Governor is not authorized to call a Convention except by straining the law of the last legislature to meet the simple and single fact that California has been admit ted as a Slate. What can the Convention do that will alter the condition of that State ? Will its members be guilty of the folly of attempting to repeat or set aside the law bv which she was admitted 1 Surely not. What then will they do ? This is the question that the people must look well to, for its action will depend entirely on the kind of men that are sent to represent us there. It is openly avowed by the more unscrupulous of the disunionists that Georgia ought to withdraw at once. Well the Con vention is the only agency by which she can be torn from her sister States, and if a majority of its members are of the right stamp this nefarious purpose will be consummated. Now it is the received opinion that whatso ever the Convention may do, will be binding on the people, that ai! must submit to its ac tion and abide their fate under its decision. If this be true, how all important it is that we as certain well what the delegates selected intend to do. There should be no foul plavi n the matter. If Georgia is ripe for disunion and her people desire to experience the penis of such a fate, they have nothing to do but fill that convention with the turbulent and dissat isfied spirits that have labored for months to prepare the public mind for anarchy, blood, and final despotism. But we will not insult our fellow citizens by such an insinuation. They know the value of the government un der which they live, and we are not afraid that they will commit the destinies of government to a set of men who are laboring to destroy it. They will do no such thing. but it is tauntingly asked if Georgia will back out from her position, and if her people will deliberately repudiate her own act 7 The answer is at hand. The people have not spo ken on the subject; they never authorized the Legislature to call a Convention either to se cede from the Union, or dissolve it. Bui art ful and designing men have discovered of late that this Convention may be converted into an engine powerful enough to destroy this Government, and strong enough to crush the resistance of the people. But there is a mis take in this. Coming events have cast their shadows over the laud, and the people are now beginning to see in the half way gloom around them the ultimate intentions &f their very par ticular friends. The time then to resist the movements no \v on foot, is when the dele gates are selected. Send to that Convention the disciples of Rhett and others of his kidney, am l what will you have to hope for but that awful condition beyond which there is nothing but the gloom of despair ? VVe speak to the happy nd prosperous farmers of tl.ecountry, who scarcely know, by its weight, that there is a government at all. VVe speak to the me chanics, who have plenty of work and get well paid lor it. VVe speak to the merchants, whose commercial relations extending far and wide, enable them to see and feel the untold and incalculable ruin that would follow in the t:ain of civil commotion. VVe speak to each and every one, and ask if they can hope to bet ter their condition by slabbing off and joining some little confederacy ? If not, look well to what you do. There are men openly for dis union-men. who if they had the power, would drive from the State or hang every mother’s son who has the independence to differ with them. Send such men to the Convention, and what may the country expect of them when clothed with such tremendous power ? Will they regard the peace of your families, or the safety of your property as of any consequence, provided they can carry out their schemes? Not they. Although we are not in the habit ofdictating to our fellow-citizens, yet we feel that the present is an occasion full enough of danger to warn them again to look well to the future.

It is soothing and healing in its nature, and is admirably adapted to allay and dissi pate that annoying and distressing irritation which so much prevails at this season of the year, caused by coughs, colds, and chills, brought on by frequent and sudden changes of the weather. We know of seve ral severe cases which have been radically cured by the use of this Balsam. Some two years since a frieid of ours was eulTering under what was thought to be confirmed consumption—a severe cough, loss of appetite, night sweats, &c. By the use of the Bal sam, he dispelled these alarming encroachments, and is now in the enjoyment of comparative good health, New England Washingtonian, Boston. LOST VOICE RESTORED! New Bedford, Aug. 10, 1948. Mr. S. W. Fowie; —Having seen many certifi cates published in relation to Dr. Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, I take this opportunity of offering u word in its favor, which you a;e also at liberty to publish. A few months since my wife’s lungs be came so much affected by u sudden cold, that she lost, her voice, and suffered severely from pains in the breast. Her situation caused her friends much alarm. Having heard your Balsam strongly recom mended by those wno had used it, I purchased a bot tle of your agent in this place. She took it accord ing to directions, and it produced a wonderful effect. Before using one bottle >he had completely recovered her voice, the pains subsided, and her health was soon fully restored. Yours truly. (Signed,) HENRY G' BRIGHTMAN. P. S.
