The Purser of the United States reports the
health of the Isthmus good, and the Railroad and
mole path in splendid order.
Bv this arrival we have San Francisco papers to
the first instant, containing all the California and
Oregm news, and also late news from Kamt
schatka. Wo commence our summary with the
news from California.
There is no intelligence of much importance
from the Eureka State. The San Francisco liven
ing News furnishes a summary lrom which we ex
tract everything of interest to onr readers, as fol
lows :
Politics has been the theme of interest during
the past two weeks, to the exclusion almost of
every other. Making nominations for the election
which is to come otT on the 6th inst., when State,
county and municipal officers will have to be chi
sen ; and electioneering and canvassing for these
who have been named, have been the public em
ployments of the major portion of our masculine
population. In the meantime business has con
tinued in the same state of depression, and our
mercant’le community yet sutler from an over
crowded market. Our accounts from ’he mining
and agiieultural regions yet continue favorable,
and as it is to these sources we must look for the
pennaueut prosperity and wealth of cur State,
there are no good reasons for despondency found
In our temporary hard times.
About 8 o’clock on the morning of August 20th,
afire broke out at Mokelumne Hill, which destroy
ed almost the entire town. All the principal
buildings in the place, including the effiee of the
Calaveras Chronicle, were consumed. The aggre
{ate of the loss, it is believed, ill not tall short of
500,000.
On the evening of the 19th August, the town of
St. Louis, in Calaveras county, was completely
destroyed by fire. Loss estimated at $150,000.
On the 17ih of August the town cf Campo Seco,
in Calaveras county, was visited by a disastrous
conflagration, which, in less than an hour, reduced
the entire place to ruins, not leaving a single
bouse standing. The flro was the work of an in
cendiary, known as Scottlo, who was publicly
whipped by the citizsus a short time previous for
the‘t. Total loss is computed at about $120,000.
The overland emigration from the States has
been rapidly pouring in daring the past, two
weeks. The now comers bring with them largo
droves cf cattle, and an unusually groat number
of horses. They appear generally in good health
and spirits.
Between sixteen and eighteen hundred Chinese
emigrants have arrived at this pert from Hong
Kong, within the last fortnight.
Since the Istoi August, the Chinese emigrant
ships, L’bertad; Australia, Levant, Exchange,
Louisa Jacobi Johanns, have be«n seized by
the United States marshal, under libels for vio
iatiou of the passenger act in carrying an excess of
passengers.
The French Consul at this port has given pub
lic notice through the newspapers, that the com
mander-in-chiet cf the naval forces of France, in
the Pacific, will consider all vessels sailing under
letters of marque as pirate*, and as such will treat
them if captured, unless commanded by a Russian,
an l has three-fourths of its crew composed of
Russian sailors.
During the past two weeks the heat of the
wcither throughout the inteiior has been unusual
ly oppressive. In the towns th'oughout Caiaveras
and other counties, e>pecially along the Moke
lumne river, tne thermometer has indicated ex
traordinary high temperature. Some places the
mercury rose to 100 degrees and 108 degrees in
the shade.
Consideiable rain fell in Nevada and vicinity
on the 21st August, an occurrence which for the
season is considered particularly remarkable. A
similar fre.-.k of the weather was experienced on
the same day in and aboa: Stockton.
The Britisu barque Skimmer of the Seas, from
Hong Jvrx-.g, which it was reported had been cap
tured by a Russian frigate, arrived in our harbor
on the n2i August.
On the evening of the 10th August the British
frigate Amphitrite, 24 euns, and the French cor
vette L'Artemise, So guns, being a portion cf the
Pacific allied fleet, arrived in our harbor, twenty
two days from Honolulu. They have, up to the
presont, romained a* anchor elf Saucoiito, where
they are receiving stores and apparently making
preparations for a long cruise.
The corner stone of a large and beautiful brick
edifice intended tor the First Baptist Church Con
gregation, located on the north side of Bueh
stroet, between Dupont and Stockton, was laid on
the 17ili August, with interesting and appropriate
ceremonies.
The Grand State Agricultural Fair and Indus
trial Exhibbion is to be held in this city on the
4'h, sth and 6th days of next October. Five
thousand dollars in premiums are offered for the
best specimens of fruits, flowers, grain, manufac
tures, babies, works of art. <fec.
Mr. L. Bateman, father of the Bateman Children
charged 'pon two indictments with assaulting Mr.
Soule, editor of toe Chronicle, was tried before
the Court of Sessions on the 10th of August, and
discharged.
On the 26th August, forgeries to the amount of
some $7,000 were discovered to have been com
mitted upon Messrs. Sweetzer, Hutchings <feCo.,
Geo. O. Whitney <fc Co., and Ellis & Co., by a
young man named Walter Sherwood. The notes
were made by Sherwood, and the names of the
• above firm were forged by him as endorsers. It
seems • hat he has been c Trying on these forgeries
for several months past, but taking up the notes
as they fell due, with money obtained upon other
forged paper for large amounts. Sherwood has
since fled, ami has not yet been arrested.
Tnere have been various false rumors set afloat
during the past week of the ex stence of cholera
m this city. Up to the present no well authenti
cated cases have transpired.
Aoout a week since a tight occurred at Industry
bar between a large number of Indians and a par
parly of ten white men. The ludians assailed the
wnite* with a shower of arrow.-, wounding several
and finally compelled them to retire. The diffi
culty originated in an attempt by the whites to ar
rest some of the Indians whowere suspected of
the murder of two Chinamen.
On 2Jth of August, about one hundred citizens
of Nevada banded together and demolished all the
Chinese brothels in that place. They afterwards
attacked the Celestials and compebed every one
of them, male and female, to abandon the town,
and have d>.dared their determination of not per
mif'ngany more to locate in that vicinity.
On the morning of August 23d, Amanda Car
cone, a Frenchman, and Peter Auchimbault, from
Illinois, who had been arrasted for stealing cattle,
were taken from the custody of the authorities at
San Antonio, by a party ol lynchers and hung.
An artesian well has been bored in San Jose,
from which the water flews in a volume sufficient
to turn a mill. It boils up with great force, and
runs off a stream four feet wide and six inches
deep. Apprehensions are entertained t. hat it will
be impossible t.o control the water sufficiently to
a partial inundation of the town.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in its summary of
the news, says:
From all parts of the mines we have cheering
accounts of the gold yield. Searcity of water in
some few localities retards operations somewhat;
but the production still equals reasonable expecta
tion. The new mines on Korn river are steadily
growing in public favor.
The crops throughout the State are most abun

news.
From Kamtsohatka. —By the arrival of the
American brig Boston, Captain Hedges, we have
advices from Petropaulski, a Russian port on the
Peninsula of Kumtscbatka, up to July 16th. From
a gentleman attached to the Boston we have gath
ered intelligence of much interest just at this
juncture regarding the movements of the Russians
at that place. At the time the Boston left, there
were in port a double-banked Russian frigate of
44 guns ; the corvette Olleutza, of 22 guns, from
the Baltic, with a Baltic crew, a guardacosta and
the Russian American Company’s ship Kamts
chatka, armed with 8 guus, and with a crow of
twenty men. News of the war in Europe had been
brought to Petropaulski by the American barque
Bhering, and the Russians were making great
preparations to resist an anticipated attack by the
allied fleet. Tho port is defended by several
fortifications, and new ones are b3iug erected,
consisting of one or two masked batteries with
three or four mortars.
The Governor has under his command a full
regiment of soldiers thoroughly equipped, and is
coefi lent that he can stand a pretty long siege.
Petropaulski contains between 8,500 and 4,000
inhabitants, including a few Americans and Eng
lishmen, and one American store. Every body is
obliged to be a soldier or a sailor, and to respond
to the Governor’s call at a moment’s notice.
The town is situated on an inland bay, the en
trance to which, f-orn the ocean, is through a nar
row inlet, three miles in length, studded with is
lands, and commanded by several batteries. A
vessel may enter without dangor, although there
arc many difficulties to encounter. Captain
Hodges, with the Boston, beat in and out in a
fog.
The Governor thinks, and our informant also,
that it would be impossible to take tho post with
any thing short of a fleet of steamers, as new bat
teries are being built to cover every approach.—
The Russians wore daily looking for the arrival at
Petropaulski of an English frigate and corvette,
cn their way to Amoor river, at the mouth of
which they (the Russian.) have built several
strong fo’ts.
The Sau Francisco papers have news from the
East Indies and China, but not of as late date as
we have via England. We do not find any later
news from the Sandwich Islands.
From the N. O. Picayune of Saturday.
Tbe lietolotiou in tbe .South
By tho stoamship United States, Capt. Schenck,
which arrived last night at Aspinwali, we have in
telligence from Acapulco to the 7th inst—the Pa
cific steamer connecting with the United States,
having touched at that port on her way down.
Correspondence with which we are favored an
nounces that General Alvarez in person, at the
head oi 2,500 men, entered the city of Yutela, on
the 4th inst. Tho Government troops, it is sta
ted, had previously abandoned it on learning of
his approach. They left only on the 3d, just in
time to escape him. From that point Alvarez pur
poses pushing forward to Cbilpanciugo, which he
was expected to reach in a few days without op
position, as all the Government troops from the
State of Guerrero, with the exception of a detach
ment of 1,500, who have been left at Tixtla to re
tard his march if possible. They must retire,
however, on his approach, for they are by no
means capable of meeting him, as his force is not
only far superior in point of number*, out would
die to a man for their chieftaiu. They are well
armed aod equipped, too, and Alvarez himself is
in fine health aud spirits.
From Chilpanciugo he will prepare to march di
rect on to the city of Mexico. There is little doubt
that he will enter it triumphantly. Santa Anna
from all indications, is already preparing to ab
dicate.
Cfhcial bulletins of the liberating army, publish
ed at Acapulco on the Ist and 6th inst., with copies
of which we are favored, denounce Santa Anna
for selling the Mesiila Valley, and give accounts
of various movements of troops and pronuncia
meutos. The town of Zitacuro pronounced, it ap
pears, on the Bth ol July. Thecomplete destruc
tion of a lorce of Government troops, 800 strong
is recorded to have taken placa in the middle of
August, by troops commanded by Col. D. Kpig
menio Hueito. An ineffectual attempt to bribe
Col. D. Pascual Aecencio Tores, one of Aluarez’o
ofhreis, is said to have been made. Many of the
principal towns of Jalisco are said to have j oined
»he revolution. A detachment of Alvarez's tr oops
having b>en seduced at guillilla to join the Govern
j meat forces, is said to have subsequently turned
■ round agdn and forght very valiantly for their
chief. The place was taken'by the revolutionists
with a force of 150 men, and a loss of a captain,
a sergeant, and seven soldiers killed and two ser
geants, one corporal and three soldiers wounded
Gen. Diaz Salgado aud Comandante Don Ignacio
Diaz are said to have refused effers made to' them
by Santa Anna to abandon Alvarez. The town of
Cavuco pronounced on the 10th of July.
According to these accounts, the revolution is
all but a fa.it accompli. We are curious to see
what accounts with respect to it we shall receive
through the papers republished in Mexico, and
which will be due here on Monday next.
From Tampico. —We have been favored with
the following communication from Tampico. Its
news is no less amusing than it would be startling,
if true. We give it precisely as wo receive it, be
cause ittreatßthe subject just as it should:
Tampico, Sept. 9, ISs4.—Perhaps it may not be
uninteresting to you to know what it is to have
a bad name, though it should be unjustly and un
warrantably cast upon you by a contemptible ene
my. Os that fact you shall have the choice of
pleading guilty or innocent, my object being
merely to show you how you stand in the estima
tion of your neighbors Lore. On the 2d in-tant
our extensive and prolific semi-weekly periocieal,
under the caption of “El Comerico do Tampico,”
after several days’ extreme suffering with agon
izing fancies, was safely delivered of the following
elegant official offasions:
Fillibustees. —By an official communication, re
ceived last Thursday, Gen. Francisco G. Casanova
has been expressly informed that a party ot fili
busters are preparing to sail from New Orleans for
this placo, on board of an Anglo-American steam
er, with the infamous design of eftaeting a pirati
cal invasion.
Previously to receiving this startling intelligence
it had been foreseen by Gen. Casanova, and pre
parations commenced, but now that his anticipa
tions are confirmed, he has taken all proper meas
ures, wi:h the fim resolution to defend this port,
and liberate it from the rapacity of those vile ad
venturers! Viva!
“El Comerico” has quite recovered, aud stalks
abroad in the happy security of her matchless
prowess, bidding defiance to all Gringo Filibusters
in spite of their numbers, though they should be
millions.
It is to be hoped that this alarming information
will roach you before tho expedition leaves your
port. Should you persist in coming, with a view
of carrying out your piratical schemes, you will all
be swallowed up, and your history will bo even
moro melancholy than that of a certain Jonas who
was devoured by a whale.
Dios Y Libertad.
Later from the Isthmus.— By the arrival of the
steamship ended States wo have Panama papers
to the 15th, and Aspinwali papers to tho 16th inst.
The Aspinwali Courier says:
Since our last steamer summary we have had a
great deal of rain, and the Chagres river rose so
high as to cover its banks in very many places :
the vi'lage of Obispo was completely flooded. But
no serious damage was done.
The effects of the summary modes of disposing
of criminals adopted recently, has become more
and more apparent continually. Tho Isthmus is
riw perfectly free from depredations or assaults,
and our city is as quiet as a New England village,
composed of the church, the school-house aud
the store. But tho end of these things has not
coma by any means. Much more has yet to bo
done.
Though the present season has not been marked
by a general fatality irAhe result of the sickness,
by which a considerable number of our residents
have been visited, wo have scarcely ever known,
since our residence upon the Isthmus, so many
cases of death from the consequences of intemper

Board of Health—-Toe Hew Cases.
It is matter of regret to us, and particularly so
to the public generally, who desire the fullest and
most satisfactory intelligence of the progress of
the epidemic, to perceive that the Board of Health
omit to report the new cases daily occurring.—
There can be no satisfactory or sufficient excuse
for this ommisßion. The public, and especially
our own citizons, both in aDd out of the city, are
deeply interested to know whether the pestilence
is increasing or abating, and nothing could fur
nish evidence so satisfactory, as the daily reportß
of the now oases. Tneso reports are noio made to
the Board—why are they concealed from the pub
lic ? If they are of no interest or value, why does
the Board request them of the physicians? If
thoy are of interest to the Board, they are of
equal interest to the public, and should have
the same publicity as the deaths. #lt is no suffi
cient excuse to say that the physicians will not all
report regularly—that some will neglect it. That
is to be expected—for no man can reasonably cal
culate that the reports will be complete and strict
ly correct—that is scarcely possible. Vet they
should be made, approximating us nearly as pos
sible correctness, and if there be omissions on
the part of physicians to report, the fact should
be uotod in the published statement.
We hope the Boa'd will soo the necessity for
publishing the reports, and thus do all in their
power to satisfy tho public mind on tho subject.
Mail Service oil the South Carolina Kali road.
Thx l’rosidout of this road, J. W. Caldwell,
has published a letter, in reply to ono of tho Post,
master General, giving tho reasons, why the Com
pany declined to run two daily mail trains on the
road, and shows very satisfactorily and conclusive
ly, that tho blame should properly attach to the
miserably apology for a Postmaster General, who
now prosidos over that department of tho Govern
ment. Tho chiel points of the letter of Mr. Cald
well are embraced in the following extracts, to
which wo invite the roaders attention—especially
those who, from the Postmaster General’s statement
of tho matter, have been induced to boliove that
the Railroad Company were to blame for tho failure
to run a second mail train.
If auy ovidenco were wanting of the inefficiency,
not to stay stupidity, of the Postmaster General in
the management of the department, it would be
found in the fact, that he is paying to run two
daily mails to Wilmington—an important office,
while for all points south of that there is but one
daily mail. If the public interests require two
daily mails, they should be extended through the
entire line, and the road 3 south of Wilmington
should recoivo a compensation equal to those north
of it. This is a proposition which no impartial
mind will controvert:
The increased compensation asked for by this
Company, for the increased service required, was
SIB,OOO, equal to $62.59 per mile, on two hundred
and nine miles of road—t hat is, from Charleston
to Augusta, and from Brauchvilie to Columbia—
makin » $8 >0 per mile, the rate paid to alt the roads
from New York to Wilmington on the same line.
It must bo also observed, that the expense of run
ning the train on the South Carolina Road is great
er than on any other on the line, from the fact that
the trains have to start from Charleston and run
to Columbia and Augusta separately, making the
whole distance runtwo hundred and seventy miles,
while we ouly receive pay for two hundred and
nine miles of mail service.
The additional train required will cost the com
pany $53,000 per annum, exclusive of the wear and
tear upon tho road. The following statement from
tho Chief Engineer, Mr. W. M. Stockton, whose
professional ability and veracity uono will doubt,
gives tho items of this additional expense;
Wages of hands sl9 70
Wood 10 00
Oil and taiiow 4 50
Wear and tear of engine and cars 28 00
Extra train 13 05
Cost of train for Hamburg road $72 25
“ for Columbia 72 25
Daily expense $144 go
Or for the year $52,742 50
The additional pay allowed by tho Department
to other roads for a double daily mail is $02.50 por
mile, which would give sotrio two hundred and
five miles of road $12,812 50, leaving $39,930 to bo
made up by an inc eased travel to the extent of
about twenty-seven passengers per day.
xho President of tho South Carolina road says,
with regard to the probable increase of travel:
Tho increase of passengers on our road, how
ever, cannot be great, Inasmuch ns the company
now run two daily passenger and mail trains over
their road, neither, however, suiting the require
rnont of the department as to the additional ser
vice proposod. Under such circumstances we
could not expect a larger increase than ten pas
sengers daily, producing an income of $14,190.
The additional mail pay claimed by tho company
is SIB,OOO, making $27,400, thus leaving a loss to
the company of $25,600. But if we should com
ply with the requisition of the department and
perform the additional service without the in
crease of pay, tho company wonld lose $83,800 an
nually, or, under a contract of four years, the sum
of $154,490. Such a sacrifice cannot in justice be
required of any company, aud will not be made by
us.
In relation to the charge of the Post Master
General that tho Company has failed to run two
trains daily, the explanation is as follows:
The facts on this point areas follows: When
tho preseut contract was made it conditioned that
an express train should leave Charleston for Au
gusta at 11 o’clock, to s cure tho connection of
the mail when the Wilmington boats did not ar
rive in Charleston in time for the 8 o’clock train.
Sometime in 1852 this contract was so modified
by tho department that the running of tho express
train was dispensed with, except when tho mail
should arrive in Charleston alter the 8 o’clock train
had loft, but before 11 o’clock. In making this
modification this company agreed to start a train
at 5 o’clock, P. M. from Augusta and Charleston,
which has been done up to this time; and this
company, moreover, hasstarted a train from Colum
bia and Charleston about the same hour, carrying
an important mail, for two years, tor which they
received no additional compensation whatever.
It will, therefore, be seen that ihe charge made
by the Post Master General, that this company
was under a contract to perform double daily ser
vice, which they failed to perform, is utterly
groundless. A copy of the order modifying this
contrac has been furnished to tho department by
this company. We have faithfully performed the
service required by the contract.
Tho statement closes, by announcing that as the
Post Master General has ordered the Company to
change its schedule, without increasing tho com
pensation, they have given notice to the Depart
meDt of their intention to abandon the contract on
the Ist of October, which by its terms, thoy have
a right to do; but that the public interest might
not suffer, they are willing to extend the time of
discontinuance to the Ist of November next.
Agricultural Fair Postponed.
The Fair of tho Southern Central Agricultural
Association, which was to bo held in this city in
the latter part of October, has been postponed, in
consequence of the epidemic, to the 20th dat of
November.
Tho papers of this and the adjoining States will
please notice the postponement, and call the at
tention of tho public to it.
Dr. Bacon.
It affords us sincere pleasure, as it will to ovory
generous heart, to announce that a private letter
from Savannah conveys tho gratifying intelligence
that Dr. Bacon is convalescent. May ho long be
spared to miuistor to the wants of tho sick is the
sincere prayer of every philanthropic heart.
While in Alabama last week, says tho Editor of
the Rome Oourier , we could not help noticing the
rapidity with which the Opelika Railroad is be
ing completed. Having traveled almost its entire
extent wo found that tho grading is nearly if not
quito finished, and the superstructure was being
laid in niany places. Tho iron has been landed in
Savannah for the track. The wholo road, it is be
lieved, will be in running order by January next.
The Brattleboro’ Eagle gives an account of a
man who lived some time after having his neck
broken by an enraged stallion. The fracture of
the neck compressed the spinal marrow so violent
ly as wholly to prevent it from affording any com
munication between the brain and the body. As
a consequence the whole body below the fracture
was paralyzed, deprived alike of sensation and the
power of motion ; but he retained the full posses
sion of his mental faculties and conversed intelli
g«Otly.
Medical Aid.—Drs. Campbell and Cross, of
New Orleans, deputed by the Howard Associa
tion of that city, accompanied by a number of ex
perienced nurses, arrived in this city Wednesday
night, 7 P. M., en route for Savannah, for which
place they left by the morning train of Thursday.
During their stay here, they examined several
cases of yellow fever, and pronounced it the same
type ofdiseasethat prevailed ! n New Orleans last
summer. We are gratified to learn that Dr. Cam
pbell will return to Augusta, and remain during
the prevalence of the epidemic, to offer whatever
aid he can for tho relief of tho sick. The con
duct of such men needs no commendation—the
world can and will properly appreciate it.
We copy from tho New Orleans Creole of tho
23d inst., tho following notice:
“Our benevolent and ever watchful citizens—the
Howard Association—are on the alert, to sse in
what way thoy may effect the most good with those
princely revenues which the American people
have entrusted to their management. Huving
known most of the gentlemen personally, and
knowing that our opinion as to character will be
received with reliance in far distant places—we
state with pleasure, that the benevolent donors,
ot every sect, creed and nationality, have a suffi
cient guarantee in the private, public and official
character of those thirty good Samaritans, tfiat
whatsoever means are entrusted to them will bo
judiciously and economicady disbursed, and duly
accounted for.
“Our object, however, is not barely to bestow
upon the Howards the praise due them; but to
announce that thoy have been taking active meas
ures to relieve the present distress at Savannah,
Augusta and other places.
“We understood yesterday that Dr. S. D. Camp
bell had been engaged by the Association for'a
mission ot mercy to Augusta, Ga., and that he is
to take along a number of Durses. Dr. Campbell
has boon residing on Dryades street for some >ears
—a region abounding with very poor people—es
pecially the laboring Irish. We watched his
course throughout the epidemic, aud never knew
him to neglect tho poor, who were unable to pav
in ordor to servo the rich. He was very success
ful too, with some hopeless cases. Verily the
young gentleman deserves well of his country.—
Ho is a true son of the generous old North State
and a well read and a skillful practitioner.”
“Godspeed thee on thy errand!

Our readers will, wo are confident, peruse with
unfeigned gratification the above report, which
seems to indicate that the violence cf the die
ease is on the wane. We learn, also, from au
thentic sources, that the few eases that uow occur
appear to yield veiy readily to medical treatment.
Favorable, however, as present appearances are,
precaution against the disease should not be re
laxed, nor absentees venture to return until a frost
shall have effectually banished all symptoms of dan
ger. Like the lull ci'tho temptest the pestilence
may have partially ceased, only to rage with in

Death of the Hon. Joseph \V. Jackson.
Wo are this morning called upon to record the
death of one to whoso worth those < damns have
again and again borne testimony—not with reluct
ance, or by constraint—but in the full conviction
that too much could not be said in commendation
of his virtues. Tho Hon. Joseph W. Jackson, late
member of Congress from this District, died of
yellow lover at his residence in Savannah, about—
o'clock yesterday. A man of scrupulous
honesty and the most chivalrous and unbending
integrity, he goes to the grave with the respect of
all who ever knew him.
Tne deceased was for many years connected with
the politics of bis nativo State, and less closely,
with those of the Union. He commenced his
political life under tho auspices of that illustrious
statesman, Gov. 'lroup, whoso disciple he ever
considered himself, and whose confidence, in an
eminent degree, he enjoyed up to the period of
his death. We need not then say that he was a
States R ; ghts politician of the strictest sect.
Col. Jackson has been frequently a member of
our city council, Mayor of,Savannah and has served
repeatedly in one or the other branch of the Geor
gia Legislature. In February, 1850, he was elect
ed to the Congress of the United States, t fill tho
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon.
Thomas Butler King—receiving in this city the
then unprecedented Democratic majority of 402,
and being the first Democrat ever elected from this
District. At tho conclusion of tho term, he earn
estly desired not again to boa candidate, but was
constrained by the pressure of his political frionds
to yield his wishes to theirs. Ho was elected by
an increased majority. He served out his second
term, commanding in an eminent degree, the re
spect of the House of Representatives, for the
purity of his character, and the manifest conscien
tiousness of his every political act. No pereuason
could induce him to go back to Washington,
though it is probable that had he been again a
candidate, ho would have been electod without op
position. He withdrew from public station, “and
gave to repose at homo that interval of thought
and quietude which every wise man would wish to
place between the turmoil oi life aud the stillness
of eternity.”
To those who knew him we would say, may we,
like him,
“So live, that when our summons comes to join
'i he innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of dfath,
We ga Dot, like the >,utry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach our grave
Like one that draws the drapery of his couch
About him, and lie s down to pleasant dreams ”

The Specie Drain.
“What becomes of our California gold?” a°k a
newspapers querist, and a cotemporary pithily
responds, “inquire at the offices of the Collins and
Cunard And this reply truthfully
indicates the direction of the gold current, though
it does not attempt to show its cause. Tne Plain
fact is that we are sending tne gold cut ot the
country as fust as we receive it, to pay the
debts which under an extravagant and foolish sys
tem we have contracted k abroad. That wo are pay
ing ourdebt is not a matter for complaint, even
t l oughsufferingsomepL sent difficulties in the hon
est efforts, provided there was a reasonable prospevt
that we would at last accomplish the task, and
have tho satisfaction of saying to ourselves and to
the world that we are out of debt. But unbappi y
there is no present promise of such and auspicious
conclusion. We exported last year thirty-six mil
lions, and yet at the end of 1854 to have fully as
large an indebtedness abroad as in 1553.
Our excessive importations are no doubt the
immediate Cause of .this anomaly, which itnpos l s
os the country the tabled task of Sysiphus :—our
foreign debt is the stone at which we are lorever
laboring without reaching an appreciable result.
At once the honest debtor and unthinking spend
thriit, wo tenaciously sustaiu our credit by drain
ing the country ot the precious metals, and then
heap up an increasing debt by an extravagant re
liance upon the manufactures, the prodi cts and
the capital of Europe. In ether wordsjwij my ex
travagantly of Europe to sustain our credit,and
build our railroads by the aid of British funds and
iron and for them we have to pay ultimatdy
with American gold, which :i kept at home would
have met all our wants and made us a properous
as well as anuniudebted nation.
The free trade movement which established the
present tar'if and reudered us dependent upon
Europe for a large portion of our manutactures has
been the exciting cause of the evils we now suffer
and the workiug of thatcause has been inereared
by the ease with which we were enabled to accu
mulate an European debt, and the encouragement
given to the formation of extravagant habits upon
the part of our people. To these stimulating
causes of an excessive importation another has
now been added by the commetcial depression ex
isting in Europe. The manufacturers of goods in
France, England and Germany with their home
markets stagnated and the demand from other
quarters deerea-od by the ex sting war, have re
course to tho American market as the ouly resoit
for the disposal of their accumulating stock. To
this latter influence we must attribute tho largely
increased foreign import oi the last month. The
falling off'in our imports during the months of
June and July was a very gratifying one, aud in
dicaled that the receipts for the quarte' would be
much below those for the same period of last
year. But August has displayed a very different
state of affairs; foreign merchandise has again
been pouring in with a rapidity almost if n< t en
tirely unprecedented. The supply of foreign
goods thrown into the New Yoi k market during
August amounted to sl4 194 646, making a lota!
for the eight months of 1854 of $65,552,857, aud
an increase of nearly filly per com. over the sup
ply of 1852. It must be manifest that the wants
of the country do not require this extraordinary
increase in the supply of foreigu goods, nor wiii
our wealth and ability be sufficient to pay for it
excei t at the expense of a serious contraction of
the monetary resources of the country. It is true
that the foreign owners of these goods wiii have
to sustain a heavy ioss in the diminished prices
they will receive from s glutted market; but it is
also true, that our ability to pay will be lessened
by several causes. The cotton crop will be some
hundreds of thousands of bales less than in 1353,
and the demand for our cereal crops must be
much less than in that year, whilst there is no
probability that the reoeipts of go d from Califor
nia will be so largo. These are important con
siderations in connection with the ability of tho
country to meet its foroign indebtedness aud in
view of them we can scarcely expect an early ces
sation of the drain which is now carrying eff . o
rapidly and heavily tho specie ot the country. —
