lUhivty Sketches.
There were in conveyance across the Eric Rail
road some valuable horses. They formed part of
the burthen of a long and ponderous cattle train
which was bearing to market—to that extraordinary
city market which never seems to be so full as to
be "cheap—a drove ot which, before the Railway
era, would have with slow delays, been driven on
foot over the long and weary ways—pasturing for
the night wherever chance shelter might be
available, aud subj cted to all the looses and
casualties of a laborious travel. They were now
in comfortable cars, resting even while they jour
neyed, woudering—if that emotion is known be
yond the circle ot man—that they were the passive
instead ot the active, in transportation, Not hav
ing clear preoeption of the future, the brief and
coudus ve calamities of the abbaltoiis were n;d
from them.
It was anight of intense cold, and however
luxurious to cattle, whose experience of lloor and
root is limited, to the attendants, the crevices aud
openings of the cars let m entirely more of the
wiin north-wester than wasagreeuh The owner
ot the horses in the car near the tender had an
apartment ra’her better guarded, and as he un
derstood all the ways of his animals, he was not in
the same tear w hich others less experienced would
have of being with them. Nor is it without real
danger to ride in a car with a horse. Tne sadden
start may break the ha'ters,aiid in the fright a
scene ol plunging and trampling takes place, in
the midst of wbic’t, the presence of man might,
for his own sake, be we'spared, lie who tides
with his horse in the car mast have courage and
energy, so that he shall not be appalled at a false
ala r m. and that if he is in danger, he can mount
and keep his perilous position unharmed.
Toe train was approaching the lot g »3ven miles
down grade which occurs just before entering
Deposite from the Westward. At the last station
tae Superintendent bud deemed it best to have
two very heavily burthened cars affixed to the
rear of the train. They greatly augmented the
load, and the engineer demurred, but the discipline
was good, and tne order wns obeyed. It gave the
engiue enough to do, on the level grade, and all
It wanted on an ascent. What precisely it was to
do, when the heavy grade was to be run de»D,
was not quite clear. Toe engineer nad nerve,
however, and while he doubled the safety, he did
not falter. The eats coupled, the slight blow was
given to the starling bar, and the train was cff.
The engine gave forth its exhau-t, (as the word is
quaintly phrased of energies that know no ex
haustion) with a vigorous wuis le and ever the
level the whcelß rolled sharp and hard in the bitter
frost.
The train was due at i eposite at such a time
as would cause it to meet another, which by that
time was to be on the switch—awaiting the pas
sage of the western cattle train, la a lew min
utes, my informaut found thet the down grade
bad been reached, lie had with him several of
his friends who were in the same business, and
who bad left their uncomfortable cars for his
pleasanter one. The tremendous pre-sure of the
load, soon bore upon the engine. The stout cat
tle, the heavy and weighty ems, and the great ad
ditional burthen which had been added at the iast
station, crowded on the machine, from which the
engineer, soon realized the condition of his train,
had withdrawn the steam —so that it moved by its
own momentum alone. Another and more appal
ling truth soon manifested itself—tha’ with the
Increase of cars additional breakman hud not been
sent, and that the brake force was becoming pow
erleas. Powerless 1 it soon became as a velvet
touch rather than a grasp on .he wheels. The ice
On the rail rendered even th 3 force that was ap
plied useless, ana each instant increasing, that
train fir.-t rolled—then rushed—then tore "along ;
—my informant says he knew of no gradation of
speed. From the moment the down grade was
reached it seemed to him and his companions—
shut up as they were in that close apartment with
animals whose strength would at first terror ,
arouse to destruction —to him tho sensation was
as if the train fell S It had that peculiar motioD, i
not continuous or regular, as in tho rapid roll of ;
the wheels, but as it all elec weie away, and it
was going at the speed of a huge mass, fal.irjg, aud
the acclivity of descent increasing each second ;
—aud all this fearful lime that train at Doposite
w&- to be met I They knew it was to be met.
Engineer, and fireman, and brskeman, and con
ductor, and the hardy drovers that verethe pas
sengers, knew it, and in their terrific speed they
feared less, if it might be, lor themselves than for
thisdoomed train, lurongh which, aud over which,
amid-t dead and mangled men, and crushed frag
ments, never stopping tor shriek or sorrow, their
train would go The miles, they were passed
ever, no man thinking of their existence. The
train tore onwards. The men upon it intensely
conscious, and even the cattle appalled by a now
sensation. The Engineer stood on his platform,
knowirg that the wildest and most appalling
danger was about him, iu shape aud form irre
sis itole if the thread of safely snapped. The
speed made a leap for life but a more rapid rush
to death. He could not retreat. The wheels re
fused the iast adherence to tho brake. The
pondrous train drovo itself madly on, aud iu an
instant more Deposite was to be reached.
Perhaps every man’s experience shows, it is
raos probable, that on the train coming westward,
there were those who were provoked at the delay
which prevented them from reaching Deposite.
It was, they said, too bad to be behind time, (as
if Time wte not often our shield from sorrows.)
The train ought to be at its card place- Indeed,
if th*y were the managers of the road the trains
would never be out of the minutes- Every car
usually has on it some of these safe reformers,
who accomplish all impossibilities, it being so safe
and easy to theorise. It did not arrive, the grum
blers were yet on tho road. Well was it for them
that they tailed; for when the desc nding train
reached Deposite, it no more stajod or stopped
than the emerald waters do in their fail at Niagara.
It would have pulverised another had it encoun
tered collision. On it wont—the engineer feeling
as ii his heart might throb once more, when he
aaw that the tram he expected to have crushed
was out of hm way aud unharmed.
Tne level reachod— the awful speed slackened,
and though it was n°t bright up under conlro
until it had run miles beyond the place of stop
mng-yet the jouruey-’he ll^ hl _ lJle eeven
leap bad been aocompusheu safely.
The command being wit h tha engine again—tho
train was backed up, and when they who were iaio
arrived, they had the blessed opportunity of theo
rising about what might have happened —their
sage cone’usions occurring in parenthesis of the
courses of a nice and hot supper—keenly enjoyed
In that bleak and cold night, instead of struggling
for delivery from the wreck of Ufa, and limb, and
property. ’LoDg was that fearful ride remember

We are pleased to learn that Messrs. Townsend,

Ilso inadvertently mentioned Messrs. K. h. S od
dard A: Co. as sufferers 111 the same building. lhm
firm as our readers all know, is located at 165
Mooting street, nearly opposite to the Charleston
Hotel, and escaped if jury entirely. The second
floor the building umoofed in Hayno stree' was
occupied by Mr. H. Stoddard, whose damages also,
we are pleased to state, are scarcely worth men
tioning.
The liamstead Club House—a building and site
long known to many of our readers —was blown
down by the gale.
Mr. R chard Arnold, on King street North of
Ann-street, sustained a loss of scuiescven or eight
buggies, which wore destroyed by tho downfall of
tho exhibition and sales shod iu which they were
placed.
Accounts received yesterday from John’s Is
land and James’ Island, repre ent the gale us hav
ing been very destructive generally to all the
planting interests of these Islands.
From what we have seen and heard, indeed, wo
entertain the most featful apprehensions|ooncern
ing the crops generally of Long Cottons and Rice.
Wo have been politoly favored with tho sub
joined extracts from letters from Ashepoo and Wai
ter boro’ :
“AsiiEPOO, Sept. 9.—Tho title commenced run
ning over the banks at Ctmbaheo at twelve o’clock
yesterday, and at one o’clock the fields were six
feet under water. It nearly reached ray house
and tho negro houses. There is a reg tlar inuuda
tiou, I presume, throughout tho Rite fields ou
Oombaheo. 1 left lor Ashepoo at nine o’clock,
this morning. Thero was not a bank to bo seen,
't presented tbo appearance on every sido of an
angry ocean.
“1 came to this place aud found everything un
der water. The tide now—B p. m.—is one loot
and a haifundormy house.’’
“WALTEhboao’, Sept. 10.—I left Ashopoo at
eleven o’clock this morning. The water had fal
len one foot aud a hall'.”
The plantations mentioned in the subjoined let
ter, are on the Western branch of Cooper River,
except Fish l’ond. Honnoau's Ferry, and the Villa,
whicu are ou the Eastern branch. This rivorom
tributes in tho neighborhood of 20,0UQ tierces to
tne rioo crop;
“Western Branch, Coorxn ßiver, Bvnday, Set
TLiiuuß 10, I. I’. M.—Knowing tne deep interest
you take in Cooper Rivor, I will mention the cas
ualties so far as I have heard them. The river is
nearly a wreck. I have two breaks, one fifteen
fe jt lorg, ton deep, the other, twenty-one feet long,
eleven doep at high water. I think I shuli soon
them, but cannot begin to estimate my loss.
Nearly the wUolo crop is't float, as 1 had nearly
finished cutting, and had ail stacked in tho field.
“Rice Hope has a break, quite a large one, I bo-
Uevi.; Fish Pond, a break; Bouneau’s Ferry, a
break ; and 1 hear the Villa has one also. Dean
Hall, three or four; the Bluff, a small one ; Point
Comfort, a largo one; Whappahoola, 1 be iovo, is
safe; Harry Hill; a serious b'-eak, in the old
p'ace); Buck Hull, none; Pauley’s, a break; Mep
kin, a break. These are ail I have beard of, but
cit not say if th r 3 may not be mor-. All tho p!i n
tations wero uuder water from Friday until to
day.”
Tho following letter gives some particulars ie!a
tivc to the effects of tho storm on tho Carolina sido
of the Savannah River:
“Lavuel llilp, Sept. 10, 1854.—1 am a, a loss
how to tiegiu a letter to you. Tho - term or rather
burrs ane has ruined everything. All of our Rice
have been swept away. We hau 821 acres cutaud
all stacked but 84 acres, when Ihe storm came on
u* ou Thursday night, except a little that is lodged
among the logs and stumps in the new ground. It
commenced blowing from Northeast on Wednes
day and on Thursday we had strong wind from
tho same quarter, with frequent .-bowers, but with
this exception it was not more alarming than on
Wedn* fduy. On Thursday night the wind and
rain increased, and on Friday the wind still in
crea-ing until 12 M , it Hew terrific until about
night, when it shifted to East aud from thut to
Southeast, and eoniinued 10 blow all night. At
high water on Fr.day the tid j broke over us, and
on the high water on Friday night, covered the
whole plantation aud swept everything before i’.
It came up through the plantations below us from
the side, just as a freshet from above, and I have
seen no freshet a.-> high since 1 have been ou the
river.
“The water is still on the fields and perfec’'y
salt. I came down the river this morning from
Burnsbic landing, and water up there in the river
is salt. There is not a vestige of Rice to bo seen
anywhere that was cut, everything i- swep: away.
Ua klr. ManigauU’s plantation, Mr. Barclay’s, Mr.
btruth, e-tale ol McPherson, all gone, i have not
heard from the estate of Chisolm, but presume
1 they have shared the same face. 80 fur 1 have
not heard of any loss of life. Our young rice
that wa* green on Thursday has the appearance of
being ripe a week or teu days.
“ We have three breaks in the river bnrk- hut
not very deep, which we will mend immediately.
The tide in the rive l ' still oon tin ties high, an Ins
soon as the water goes off will -ave ail the rice we
can. At the estate of T v lot’s we had some 200
acres cut, ai! of which is gone. Mr. L zard had
some 6)0 acres, Mr. Smith some 200 or more. Our
Peas are all gono. I will write you again soon,
and endeavor to writo more particularly. I have
never before witnessed such a destruction oftim
ber in the pine land, some places are almost en
tirely cleared ; Roads completely barricaded. The
loss every where is incalculable.”
vVc have also been favored with an extract cf a
let’er from Savannah, dated the 9ih instant, giv
ing a few particulars relative to the crops on 'ho
same sido of the Savannah River a- mentioned in
the above letter, but a little lower down.
“ We have beard from tho pienp’.e belonging to
Mr. Huger, who inform us that all he Rice whi h
was gtaiked in the field at Judge Hnger’s nnd Dn
J. A. Hugor’s place was swept away and is totally
lost. Happily no live? were lest, although some
uneasiness exisis about a negro of Dr. J. A.
Huger’s, named Mingo, who was with three others
on board a fiat which suuk, and who has not boon
hoard of since.
“ Since writing tho above Mingo has appeared.”
Subjoined is an extrac’ from a letter, dated
“Chapman’s Island, Pon Pon, 8. C., Sept. 10,
P. M.— Wo have had a very severe gale, and all
the rice that was cut, is afloat on the banks and
in the ditches; that which was not cut, was
whipped with dry wind for so long a time before
it was wet, that a third of the rice was beat off.
Loss estimated, about one-half of the crop. Ow
ing to a large quantity of dead fi-h and frogs, the
place is now very offensive. The harvesting fists
are on tho high grounds, and borne are entirely
lObt.”
The servant bearer of the above letter, states
that, on his crossing the Pon Pon River, he ob
served it was covered with floating rice, and that
the Bay Swamp on the west side of tho river, con
tains all the rice that was cut.
Effects of the Late Storm —A negro man,
named Richard, the property ot Mrs. Howard, was
killed during the storm on Friday last, by tho
falling of a wall at B ako’b Mill. It was not known
until Sunday, when tho body began to decom
pose.
The brig Mary Ann, bound from Charleston to
Atakapa*, La., was dismasted and blown ashore
on Tybce Island, and it is feared she will provo
a total loss. Her commander, Capt. Johnson,
died of yellow fever, afeorleaving Charleston, aud
wa- buried at sea.
The schooner Cotton Plant, which arrived here
yesterday with a cargo of rough rice, was driven
ashore Friday night iu Romlcy Marsh, but was
got cff without injury.
The so iooners W. D. Jenkins, and James and
Augustus, hence for Brunswick, (iu., without car
goes, were blown high and dry upon Romley
Marsh, and it is feared they can not be got off.—

The Late Gala—li Jury to the Crops.
\Ye contiuuo to hoar very melancholy accounts
lromtho seaboard, of the destructive effects of iho
recent storm. That portion of the coast, especially,
from Georgetown, S. C., to Brunswick, Gu., seems
to have suffered most soverely, and our Cnarles
ton exchanges of yesterday aro full of the disas
trous details. ThoKieo crops noar Georgetown,
up North Santee, on the l’ec Dae, &a., are greatly
irj ared; and the Cotton crops of the coast and Sea
I lands also. It appears that the storm extouded
along tiro entire range of coast from Florida to
Baugor, Mo., and supposed that it continued us far
North as Newfoundland. A despatch from Bau
gor, Me., states that a tremoudous thunder storm
commenced there last Wednesday evening, ac
companied with hail and strong gules, which con
tinued throughout tho night. This was the iirst
rain that had fullou in that region for two months,
and as tromendous tires had been prevailing in
the forests thoro for sevoral days, tho circumstance
would go to confirm tho accuracy of Prof Espy’s
theory that immense tiros will invariably produce
heavy showers and high winds. The storm also
raged with groat sovority on tho same nig't in tho
neighborhood of Boston, and Koine, Oneida coun
ty, N. Y, In the latter place builuings were blown
down, and trees uprooted, Arc. It is certainly
somewhat strange, to soy tho least, that tho storm
should have commenced iu tho regions of country
that have suffered so much from drought and ex
tensive fires. A despatch dutod at Albany on
Saturday afternoon states that a heavy rain storm
had set in that extended far to tho Westward and
appeared to bo travelling East.
The Wilmington (N. G.) papers stale that their
city was visited by a severe blow from tho South
east on Friday and Saturday, and that a number
offences, trees, Ac., were prostrated. On Satur
day night a whirlwind passed over tho Eastern
limits of the city, which cut a clear lane along its
course about as wide as a street. Tho Journal says
that it cut the top undone end off' of Mr. Harris’
house a-- completely as though the work had been
done with a knile. The roof was carried a con
siderable distance, as was also sevoral kitchens and
other outbuildings. Pines, two and three feet in
diameter, were snapped off with ua much apparont
case us though they had been pipe stems.
Ock readers will remember our notico of tho
homicide of James Eek.<e by Henry O. Keener on
the 10th inet., and that Keener had not been ur
n-tad. Wo learn that he surrendered himself
voluntarily to the custody of the law yesterday, and
was committed for examination.
Progress of th» Fever in I’aar lesion.
We regret to staio, says tho Standard of yester
day, that there has been no abatement in the rav
ages of the yellow fever since tho storm, nor can a
result so dosirablo bo expected for many days to
c me. Much may bo done towards mitigating tho
effects of the disease by propor care in keeping
premises, streets, An, as cleanly ns possible, by
living abstemb a ’y, and by avoiding undue ex
do.su re, exercise and excitement. We aro inform
ed that the Mayor and corporate authorities ore
now v ; gorously exerting themselves lo make
amend s - for past oversights and neglect, and while
they are thv- engaged it is hoped that every good
; citizm wili freely tender them assistance. That
| many trects, alleys and low lots have been allowed
I to bce< me deplorably II! ! y and unhealthy wc all
I well ku w, but now that the authorities have been
i Sully aroused to the necessity of purging and
1 purifying all localities, let us award them duo
I credit for their exertions. Thoro is one abuse,
1 among many others, which wo hope soon to sec
I r.-medi i ; large numbers of men may every night
I be found ,-J joping in the open air, ou side walks,
boxes, benches, wharves, stalls in the market, Ac.
Those men hold out every inducement for the
fever to make thorn its prey. Gu making enqui
ries res; octicgt!: . reckless sleepers wo were in
form:-! tl t if all wero arrested by the guard tho
guard-house would not hold them ; further, that
the members of tho guard being nearly worn out
with fatigue it would boa useless task to undertake
any uch duty. Further, wo understand that a
large number of the guard themselves ore confined
by sickness, &ud that cot two thirds of them could
be mustered on Sunday night. Under theio cir
cumstances it behooves every good citizen to lend
a helping hand in every possible way. If wo
would rid ourselves of tho disease wo must first
remove the cause.

According to a London letter in the New Y'ork
Times, General Espartero, tho head of tho new
Spanish Government has hud ss veral interviews
with Mr. Soule, and has informed him that the
Spanish Cabinet will do its best to settle all mat
tors of difference having a pecuniary character, and
as to questions cf national honor and dignity, the
United States cannot expect any groatcr satisfac
factiou than in the fact that the impeached govern
ment, at whose hands Spanish subjects have also
suffered in justice, has been driven out by apopu

Africanization in view, but no purchase is likely . —
the government being confident that, with an hon

will become more useful and better satisfied de

Dancing with a Boor Black —A correspondent
of the Now York Times, writing from Saratoga, is
responsible for tho following ;
“There bus been aristocru y hero of all grades
and shades, from tho genuine ‘pinion pure,’ down
to the 1 mushroom’ and ‘ codfi h’—and 1 looked in
ouo e'-euing and saw tho taltt de chambre of a
gentleman at one hotel, waltzing with one of tho
haughtiest beauties, wtio was denominated belle,

lady would have smiled so graciously ou him, or
permitted his moustache to come so near her cheek,
if she had known that he had spent part of the

Law and Luck. —A gentleman from Thorold,

duced the pile down to an even SIOO. On Saturday
night he started to take Liao cars for home, but
found that ho was too late and must remuin over

short period of time. Seven hundred and fifty
orphan children left destitute, and without friends
or kindred, havo been taken charge of by the
Roman Catholic Bishop, aided by some benevolent
citizens. A lawyer who fell a victim to the dis
ease, bequeathed several thousand dollars in aid
of these orphans.
Late IVoin Havana.
By the arrival ol tho steamer Gov. Dudley, at
Charleston, on Tuesday morning, 11th inst., wo
received udviccs from Havana to the 7lh and Key
West to tho Blh inst.
Tho nows is of an unusually interesting charac
ter, Both Spaniards and Creoles wore beginning
to exhibit strong manifestations of disapprobation
against the existing order of things, and what was
e/en still mo. e discouraging to the government,
some of the newly arrived soldiers, who wore tho
first participants in the recent revolution in Spain,
wore disocmiua'.ing their rebellious principles
among their associates. This looks decidedly om
inous and forebodes another reign of troublo and
excitement for Gen. Concha, who has probably by
this time resumed hia old post of Chaptaiu-Gen
oral.
The Havana markets continued dull—though
very littlo was doing in sugar, prices retained their
former firmness. The demand tor rice was brisk,
and higher prices were looKod for. A salo of a
cargo of flour had boeu mado at fourteen dollars,
but five cargoes that had recently arrived wero un
sold. There waa scarcoly any demand for freights,
especially for England. There was more demand
for vessels for this country, which could not be
Lai.
We learu that two American seamon had beeu
imprisoned on a charge of having been engaged
in the : lave trade ; but as Mr. Barton our newly
appointed Consul, had arrived, nothing defi
nite appears to havo been known respecting
their case. Owing apparently to a fear on the part
of the authorities that revolutionary symptoms
might bo manifested, tho bull-fight advertised for
last Sunday week did not take place.

Col. J. "Watson Webb, who is now in England,
writes lo the New Y'ork Courier & Enquirer, that
in throe months or before Christmas, wheat will
have fallen from 65 to less than 45 shillings per

The Ncwark'(N. J.) Advortiscr states that the
dealers there are purchasing potatoes in tho back
country from the farmers at ton shillings per bush
el, and allowing them to remain in the collars of
tho farmers, bringing thorn hero for retail as they
are wanted. So high is tho price of potatoes—
from $J to $4 a bushel—and the prospect of a
heavy crop is so poor, that (the Advertiser adds)
the anticipated profits warrant such operations.
Advices from Rio Janeiro to tho 3 1 ult., state
that a Russian vessel in the port of Rio, and two

their determination to soizo them at sea under any

Important to Dyers.— The Paris Moniteur In'
dustriel publishes an account of a mode of dyeing
b'ue without indigo, invented by M. Rydin, of
Bocas, in Sweden. He obtains a good bine, which
w shes web, by employing es mordant the oxydo
of chroma dissolved in an acid. Iu place cf oxyde
of chroma, a double salt may bo used, or double
sulph.ato or chroma and poU s'i. Tho salt, is ob
tained by putting together one part of bichromate
of potash dissolved in water, and one and a halt
or two parts of sulphuric acid. Wine, brandy,
sugar, and syrup are added, and, lastly, tho mat.er
capable of bringing the chromic acid to tho state
ot oxydo of chroma. To uye 15 kilog. of cotton,
for instance, es much oxyde salt of chroma is ta
ken ns has been obtained by the reduction ot five
grammes of bichromate of potash, and displaced
iu a decoction of 15 kilogrammes of Campeachy
wood. The dyeing may be effected in one opera
tion by putting together the salt of chroma, tho
wood, and tho cotton, and heating tho whole ; or
tho cotton may be mado to tuko the mordant iu
salt of ch: na, ! o‘ or cold, and then placed in a
hath of Cmnpetchy wood until tho required color
is obtained. By varying tho proportions of these
dmgs and diminishing them, the shades of grey*
lilac, and agate may he obtained.
If the Knew Nothing principles ever obtain in
this country, there will be one good result there
from, that has been little thought of. American

help, excellent as the latter is in many cases.
Fianos must bo played less, and pots and kittles
looked after more; fewer silks and more calicoes
used, less walking in the streets will bo seen, and
more walking in the suds about wash tubs.
If you want to gain a woman’s affection don’t

The streets of New York city are now kept
lighted by gas lamps every r.ight, without regard
to the aspect cf tho firmament and the change of

Council in response to numerous public complaints
caused by the previously dark condition of mere
than half tho thoroughfares of tho city, at times
when tho gas lamps wero not lit, on account of
the moon being brillinut.
wages of labor in San Francisco sound al

Uur Minister in London, Mr. Buchanan, will

consequently, no indication of unfriendly feelings

It is wi'h regret we aro called upon to announce {
the decease of Thorn ou Carper..er, E#q., lute su
perintendent and chief operator in Charleston ,
station of die Washington aud Nov Orleans Tele- i
graph iine. . j
Mr. Carpenter was a native of Camden, S. C., j
in which place he received his preparatory cduc° j
tion prior to his admission into ibe South Carolina, •
College at Columh a. He had beeu noted from hit'
earliest years for the possession of those qua itio .
of head and heart, which inspire confluence umi
conciliate esteem, and the sad regrets of many
friends ill be olicitod, by tho mournful announce- |
merit of his untimely death.
Mr. Carpenter was especially distinguished i
his interest in and devotion to the various branches
cl chemical science, in which ho had attained a
proficiency v eidom reached at bis years. He had
bevn for some time Professor of Chemistry in a
Western College—we believe in Oakland, Missis
sippi a station which ho only resigned in conse
quence of the severe exactions made on his health
and service-’.
Mr. Carpenter’s position in onr tolegraph'c ser
vice gave us frequent oppor unities of knowing
and j udging bis merits, and it affords us here a
melancholy pleasure to testify that in all respects
wo ever found him capable, courteous, and lailh
ful.
The services of telegraphic operators and agents
in all our Southern cities are not estimated and ap
preciated sufficiently. From the newness of the
business it hn» been the case hitherto that South
ern cities could not obtain a supply of acclimated
operators, and yet thcan employed in that respon
sible and difficult trust have been faithful to their
posts under all circumstances.
It may afford a melancholy satisfaction to Mr.
Carpenter’s surviving friends ata distance to learu
that horoccived all tho attentions which kindness
anti regard could suggest. Although not a resident
of onr city for a long period ho was not a
—for his virtues and merits had conciliated tnany
friends, who esteemed aud cherished hi-n in hte
as they now mourn his untimely departure. lie
wus, we believe, about thirty years of age.
The sad removal of Mr. Carpenter involves th
clnet “uties of our station on Mr. Samuel 11. Bing
ham, who wi I he found luliy competent, as we
aro assured by ample experience, to discharge
them to their enlro satisfaction of the community.
Though advised by friends to leave the city, ne
has determined at all risks to remain at his post,
UDd wo trust that his devotion to tho Oomp.ny
will bo duly appreciated. — Ch, Cour :2 th inst.
Loss of tiie Ship Delia Maria of Charleston. -
We iegret to learu from Furser F. Dreyur ut t .
steamer Gov. Dudley, that at 11 o’clock on Mon
day morning tho Dudley fell iu with the ship
Del a Maria, Captain Bierce, belonging to Messrs.
John Fraser & Co., of this city ashore, in two
and a half fathoms of water, eff Hilton Head,
on tho Southern end of Gaston Bank. She
had last her fore, mizzen, muintoprnast and jib
boom. The water was up to her deck onbersu r
board si ic and both her anchors wore hanging
over her bows. Both boats were gone, and there
was no s gna of her captain, crow or passengers.
A Savannah Pilot boat was alongside tho ship, tho
the crew of which informed Captain Crowell, of
the Dudley, that they had discovered the ship in
tho situation she then was on Sunday, and ti :■
there wero several tranks and a quantity of chil
dren’s eloathsou board.
The Delia Maria iei'c Liverpool on the 12th of
July for this poit, and arrived tis our Bar on the
6th inst., when she took on board as Pilot M .
Frederick Burroughs, of this city. Among th ,
passengers wero a son of E. W. Walter, an ! W
G.Trenholm, E-q., of this city. Itiahoped, how
ever, that all on beard wero able to remain by the
ship until the gale abated, in which case they Lav s
doubtless reached Hiiton Head or some of tho
neighboring islands in their boats.
The Delia Maria and her cargo was insured in
our local office- to the extent of «oae SO3 or s7t),-
Ojo. The remainder, we presume, is insured ui

New York Reporters Limned by “ One c r
Them.” —Somebody who is evidently behind tho
curtain, writes as follows to the Springfield (Mass.)
Republican :
“There is a corps de reserve to pick up “horrible
tragedies,” “destructive conflagrations,” “daring
borgla-ies,” ‘strange developments,” and “inn
eating occasions” c t every description, aii over the

half its history is iu type, under the press, and on

ot thu mangled bony, aud attendant circumstances.
The next day he goes to the Toombs, procure: a
private interview with the murderer, aud worms

birth, pedigree and adventures, as the latte
willing to have made public. If he fails in this,
he indulges ; n an elaborate personal description

our j ournals will give them daily statistics of its

and you will find along room or suit of rooms,
where twelve or fifteen men, fierce with mustache

Marine Nuws. —The brig Mary Ann, which left
Charleston on Tuesday, sth inst., lumber laden,
for Atiokapas, La., lost her captain, John 11. John
son, of Rockland, Mu., at sea, from yellow fever.
The mate was obliged to throw the body over
board next morning at daylignt. Tne vessel is
now ashore at Tyiv o inlet, dismasted and water
logged. The mate Mr. Grew, aud a crew of five
narrowly escaped with their lives. They wero with
out a small boat, tho same having been carried
away in the storm of Friday.
Os tho disasters in the harbor, our reporter hat
compiled the tollowing, viz:
The steamer Oregon was badly injured in tho
storm of Friday, and is now lying at her wharf.
Tho steamer St. John, slightly, ran into by u
schooner driven from Fig Island Saw Mill.
Tho J. Stone is badly injured in her machinery
and hull, and is up the river at McAlpin’s.
The Metamora is in Rumley Marsh, slightly in
jured.
The Sam Jones, badly damaged, now lies oppo
site tho city.
The barquo Douglass and a Prussian barque,
bound out, aro ashore between Coekspnr aud Ty
beo, both dismasted. The brig Amelia is sunk
where the Dry Dock stood. Tho sloop Virginia is
ashore on Tybee. The Catherine Chard, the sclir.
Company, sloon Splendid, Fort Georg) Packet,
and other small vessels, aro high up in Rumley
Marsh.
Residents of Savannah in New York.—We sea
by the Now Y'ork Times, of the 9th, that a meet
ing of the residents of Savannah, then present in
that Qty, was hold tho previous evening at the
Astor House, for the purpose of devising measures
f,r the relief of the victims of tho Y'eilow Fever
in Savaunali. The Press having bten excluded
from the meeting, tho Times was unable to affoid
any information of the result ar r ived at.
We feol that the right spirit is abroad, and we
are glad to see thoso who have fled from the pesti
lence mindful of tho suffering and want lei be
hind them, ami ot the_ brave and noble s; >its

the sick and dying.— Sav. Georgian 11th.
Bad “Time Coming” for Hard Drinkers.— Tho
whiskey, brandy and wine crop is going to be very
short this year. Braudv “is riz,” and" wines are
rising iu price. Cause, partial failure of the French
vintage. Tho grape crops of the Ohio valley will
be far less than usual this year; and the “sparkling
Catawba” and the “still wines” of native produc
tion will be scarce aud dear. Then the short crops
ot corn, rye and potatoes, will create a demand for
all our grains for food; and distillation must be
greatly reduced. In fact the lovers of good liquors
will he compelled either to pay rousiug prices, or
reduce the quantity of “indulgence.” Good bran
dies have risen nearlv a doliar a gallon in four
weeks, and whiskey ht.s risen about a sixpeu o
per gallon in six weeks. It will ; rohabiy rise still
moro rapidly as the effects of the drought develops
themselves.
The temperance cause may find an unexpected
ally m the unexampled drought with which too
oountry is affloted. With such prices as feodum.-
bear, should the dry weather prove as des ruetive
to crops as is apprehended, people cannot afford to
pay exo bitant prices for drinks also.
We wish we had more severe laws against tao
adulteration of liquors. The temptation to make
liquors by iv~natural processes will be strong, and
such compounds are most destructive to health.
