fty- There will not bo any paper issuod from
this office to morrow, this day having been set
apart by the President of tho United States, as a
day for “fatting, humiliation and prayer.'* It
will be seen by refercnco to tho Proceedings of
Couucil that Uto public offices and business of tha
City will be closed and impended.
C0a®BspoNDENT8.—Wo received a number of
communications late yesterday. They will np
pear in our next issue.
Ths Health or Savannah.—Public attention
abroad is invited to the proceedings of Council, In
this morning's paper, in regard to tho health of
our city. The highest authority in tho city, the
Mayor and Council, hnvo declared that there la
not, and has not been, a case oft holer a among ns,
and that.our pcoplo never enjoyed better health
than at the present time.
Oolethorpe Fibb Coupany.—This well or
ganised and very efficient company paraded yes
terday for exercise, with full rauks. Their new
cap and uniform looked exceedingly well; their
Engino was, as usual, in order—and altogether we
were much pleased with their appearance.
OCT- We at o indebted toqtir friend, Mr. John
J. Waver, for a cluster of tho finest grapes we
have seen this season. Wo do not know what
kind they arc, except that they are the very best
kind. The cluster measured about fourteen in
ches in circumference.
Accident to the Jaspes.—We learn that the
steamer Jasper was considerably injured while nt
the quarantine ground near Charleston ou Wed
nesday Inst, by the steamship Southerner coming
In contact with her.
OO* In view of tho frightful ravages of the Chol
era in various parts of our country, this Day has
been set apnrt by tho Chief Magistrate of the Re
public as a day qf Fatting Humiliation and Prayer.
The recommendation will be observed by the
Rcvcrcud Clergy, and divine services held in tho
various churches of the city. Though free from
the plague ourselves, we must confess that among
the judgments of Heaven, none has ever been
more conspicuous than Peitilence. Sometimes it
lias been actually miraculous. It- was so, when
it traversed Egypt ins single night, and destroyed
the first-born of every family. Iu other eases na
tural causes, to some extent, have been detected,
and thus multitudes have come stupidly and ir
reverently to overlook the divine hand. At length
it seemed necessary to send abroad the destroyer,
in aspects of greatly increased obscurity nnd mys
tery. The great pestilence of modern times is the
Cholera. About twenty years ago it traversed
tho earth, and swept into eternity fifty millions
of its inhabitants. It is agaiu on its mission, and
with terrific power. Its causes are yet undetect
ed. Its form of progress among the nations is
unaccountable, it is the disease of no continent,
country,climate or season of the year. The most
science and experience have gained in rcgnrd to it,
is soma light as to the exisliug caiucs, tho symp
toms of its approach, and a few counteracting in
fluences. The Cholera is still visiting city and
country, and carrying dismay over the earth.—
Nor, perhaps,i* it rcsduriuble to expect that it* mys
terious ravages will bt! permanently arrrcstcd.tiil
man,especially in Christian lands, is brought to re-
cognize in it Ihcprcsenrcandpowcrufthe Supreme
B ing. What but n palpable miracle could more
clearly mark it as a visitation of the Mast High ?
Why theu should not chriittiuns, rulers, and the
people at large, with one heart and voice recog
nize the justice of Uiis chastisement, abjure the
sins which may have occasioned it, and raise the
earnest cry, 'Spare thy people, O Lord!’ How
much more rational, aa well as honorable to the
Infinite One, such a demonstration of humility,
than either impious complaint, or reckless sto
icism, or that alarm which hopes for safety in
flight! There is something awful in the thought
that the Almighty is walking abroad in his an
ger upon the earth, and taking vengeance with
his own right arm!

The Dress op Members or Parliament.—An

England’s parliamentary celebrities:
Tho advent of summer weather has exorcised a
sheering effect upon tho personal of tho Houso of
Commons. The sombre trues in which honorablo
gentlemen arrayed themselves during tho gloom
of winter, nnd tlio still gloomier spring, havo giv
en way to buff, tho iilnc, and tho white.
When treating of tlio House of Lords, wo inci
dentally mentioned that attention to tho matter
of dress did not form a characteristic of their lord-
ships. As regards tho majority of thoso who tako
tho most interest in the proceedings, and whoso
jersons yon consequently see the ofteneat, sloven-
Incas nnd shabbiness are tho rule. U Is mention
ed of Napoleon, that he was readily distinguished
from the officers who accompanied him by tho
plainness of Iris attire; so many of their lordships

tho view, apparently, of distinguishing It

IVuthingtim, July, 1849. j
Sir: A detiro to discharge faithfully the duties
devolved on this office in rclatlou to Agriculture,
prompts me to seek impartially from persona of
known experience arid research the best informa
tion onthaseveral topics embraced in this circular,
and Upon such others us may, in tho judgment of
practical men, contribute to tho benefit of that
vitally important branch of our national iudustry.

does, a variety ofaubjccts, with all of which no
otto person can be suppos.d to |be practically fa
miliur.lt isJprcsUmod that each ono lo whom it may
be addressed will coufino his observations to such
matters ns hnvo come under his own experience.
Such information it is the purpose of Congress in
this rnodo to collect and distribute for the common
benefit of the agricultural community, nnd itcon-
not but bo, in the aggregate, of enduring value.
Excluding more esUrnutes and local details of
weather ami crops, which may bo found in the
able agricultural journal* of tho country, the de
sign of tho aunual report lo wbioh you arc invited
to contribute is to bring to light aud register in a
permanent form important tact* and discoveries,
the (emits of actuni experiment, which might not
otherwise become so soon nor so widely known.
It is likewise intondod to constitute a repository
of agricultural statistics, founded upon official and
other reliable data, which may serve aa authentic

'Macon and Savannah.”—Wo publish an
article from tire Macon Journal <5* Mettenger of
Wednesday under the foregoing caption, affect
ing a great deal of virtuous indignatiou against
us for urging on our citizens the completion of
tho Waynesboro’ Road, as on ofljet for the quar
antine laws of Charleston, and for recommend
ing a meeting on that day in which the pcoph
of that City, through their delegates were plot
ting at Macou against the interests of Savannah,
and for enquiring into the “way* and meant” by
which the Road from Macon to Madison is to be
built. We presume tho article was meant more
to act upon the Convention about to be held in
Macon than upou us, especially as we had mere
ly alluded to the citizens of the latter town. Our
remarks were intended more particularly for the
people of Charleston, and the Editor knew it,
We defy the Mettenger to point out a single
“taunt” or “jeer” at Macon or its proceedings,
or any expression o f“passion”or “prejudice” con.
cerniug that City. We Brink it would have
been more candid for our cotemporary to have
published our article, as we did his, that
his readers might hive perused it, which wo fear
he did not carefully do himself, or he would not
have gone off at half-cock. We do not deny that
we feel indignant, and justly so, at Ure course
Charleston has pursued towards us and our State.
Not content with the advantages our Ruil-Roads
give her, she even claima their construction and
ownerslripby calling them her lines of Internal Im
provement. But we do deny any manifestation of
-'restless anxiety,” “loss of temper,” or “feigned
contempt” in this quarter towards Mscoti, and we
call for the proof. We do not ace the need of the
exciterncntof any hostility towards Sava n nah or the
Central Road on the part of Macon and her peo
ple. If the project of her contemplated Road is
‘simple matter oi business,” a “remunerating
undertaking,” why attume, ns the Mettenger has
done, that Savannah is hostile to it? Why talk
about “the wailings aud warning* of the Savan
nah press,” when such have not been uttered ?
We might retort upon the editor, and say that
the people of Savannah had reason to expect some-
tiling better from him. He lias resided here, and
knows therefore that the feelings of this conunu
nity towards Macon are not such as Ire has repre
sented them to be. We fear that his new-born
zeal for Charleston and his desire to find fault with
tho Republican have induced him to do gross in
justice to our people. At for his attack upon us,
we do not care for it—we have heard “Sir Oracle’
whistle before.
The truth is, the Savannah people will not op
pose the proposed crossing, if the people of Geor
qia think it for their convenience and intereBt.-
But, wo do not like to sec the people of Charleston
called in, like the Trojan horse, to carry out any
enterprise as being professedly antagonistic
Savunnnh. Build ns many roads as you please,
in any part of the State, so our city does not
have to invest its capital in them—und we do riot
fear tireir working against Savannah, when once
wq have completed the Augusta connection. Let
the produco once go there, nnd we shall have our
Road, as wo now have the River, to meet tho com
petition of Charleston at that point, on the most
favorable terms. It is, however, very certain thnt
agricultural produce will not bear 300 miles of
transportation to the scncoast, when it can reach
an equally good market in 200. Some travel may
be diverted from us, but tho produce, which makes
the trade, cannot be, aa long os wo can furnish the
mcaus and facilities to purchase it. When these
fail, and our market becomes a bad one, then will
produce ho diverted from us, and not before. We
are informed, that so far from this, tlio Savannah
market has boen an improving one for thrco.ycrirs
State Unity.—Ths Duty qf Savannah.—'The
Atlanta Inteltigencer says: “It is essential to the
prosperity of n State, that every section of it bo
brought to act together in harmony, in every
measure of general utility. To insure such har
mony of action, our citizens must be brought to
feel thnt their interests are not nt variance with
each other, but arc inseparably intertwined to
gether. Our Rnil-Roiu!s havo done much to pro
duce this state of feeling, by promoting an in
tercourse between citizens in different sections.

The boll worm was at work, though not to any
great extent. Planters seemed unusually fear
ful of a great falling off in their crop. Having

and have still to complain much of being behind

thought, that had tho noblo personages held a

Yet theso wero the tnen who wero to join tho
Lord Chancellor as Lords’ Commissioners, to give

As a whole I would sav that the Commons dress
better than tho Lords. Lord John Russell is for
the most part exceedingly neat. Ho is small but
well made, and hissurtout clings to him like a
glovo. At he nromuimdcs In the gallery, the sub
ject of his lordship’s health forrnBa frequent topic
of comment. Homo ono will say, “Lord John is
not looking woli;” “That ho isn’t,’’taysasecond;
Aow can he ?” says a third.
Upon another occasion tho judgment will be
reversed. “How well his lordship looks t” says
one; “What a change I” says a second; “He’s
been to Windsor.” says a third. My impression,
however, is that it is all a matter of waistcoat.—
When that region presents a dork aud dreary as
pect, his lordship is pronounced to bo ill; but
when something light nnd cheering peeps forth,
his lordship's health has undergone a wonderful
‘“t provement.
Without exception, however, tho most remark-
sblo man in the llouso in point of attire is Colonel
Sibthorp. It would roquiro tiro pen of a Stultz, at
tho very least tho frenzy of Thimble's poet, to
scrlbo tho covering in which thut gallant officer
envelopes himself. Tho greater pnrt is composed
of wnfstcoat; and when 1 maintain that its stripes
me os broad as ribbons,strong cnougir to harness
n kid, hang loosely from his neck, some idea of
the grandeur of tho Colonel’s presence tnay be
formed.
His trousers, too, are striped; none of your
PJiitry shepherd’s plaid kind of thing, like Lord
Brougham’s or Sir Robert Peel’s, but stripes to
match the wniatcoat. There is, also, a watch
chain ami n bunch of seals of a size which nt
onco proclaims that the Colonel’s ancestors must
havo been fortunate enough to discover a “dig-
gin” of their own. The coat is curiously devised,
tire object being to show as much of the waistcoat
ns is consistent with preventing tho coat from
falling over the shoulders.
It will readily bo supposed thnt a good deal of
linen enters into tho tout ensemble. Tho surmise
correct; as much encircles tho nock and streams
from the wrists of tho fortunate officer ns would
convert sonic of tho sldrtlcss looking peers into
dandies, and yet, when all this was done, tho
colonel could not bo called a collar less man.
Altogether, his appearance is imposing; and
tire electors of Lincoln had bettor take care of
their household gems, particularly if thero is
reason to fear that thoy uro susceptible of tlio
softer impressions, upon those occasions when Bio
colonel calls to present them with his packets of
tea, or to artk if tho delivery Ims token place.
But Mr. Thomu* Duncombe bn* immortalized tho
illustrious senator. Tiro colonel sneered upon
ouc occasion, at St. GUe*. Mr. Duucornbo roso
in defence:
“Perhaps tho honorablo and galhnt colonel is not
aware how tho parish of St. Giles Is composed.
[Tho colonel declared ho was uoti] It contains
several of tho Inns of Court, and tha residences of
the most eminent lawyers.
'* I confess I never saw a Lincoln ten-pounder;
but If I might bo allowed to judge of them by their
representative, I should say tha? from ono end of
Finsbury to tho other—from St. Gilo’s to St. Luko’i
