. Probable Death of Mr. Webster.
Baltimore, Oct. 23.
‘ A dispatch just received here (this aitomoon)
from Boston, states that Mr. Webttcr is dying—
that ho cannot live throughout Iho day.
■ [From previous reports about the illness of Mr.
•Webster, wo uro approhonsivo that this nows is
too true.—Eds. RepJ
Memo. Editors I porcolvo by the tonaof your
paper, that you aro in favor of tho adoption by tho
National Government of a liberal ayatem of inter
nal improvements, and no less zealous for tho pros
perity of your city.
I purpose, in this article, to draw your attention
to what I concoive to bo ono of the most important
subjects of tho day, and ono, in which, Savannah is
vitaly interested, vis: tho construction of a Ship
Canal acroes tho Peninsula of Florida.
You havo seen, I presumo, that an appropriation
has been made, for tho survey of the Peninsula, with
reference to this work. I am sufficiently acquaint
ed with tho Gulf coast of Florida, to know that a
desirable terminus on that aldo can bo secured.
And I am informed by persons upon whom 1 can
rely, who have lived on Indian River, on tho At
lantic coast, that at a cable’s length from tho beach
there is from sixty to sovonty fathoms, rapidly run
ning out of soundiup into tho Gulf stream, which
sweeps closo by. Tho country between Tampa
Bay and Indian River, is low and level, not rising 1
think, nt ils summit lovol,more than forty lectnbovo
tide-water, and in this summit thcro aro streams
and lakes sufficient to aot as feeders to the Canal,
and oven ii theso did not oxist tho nature of tho
country is such that tho infiltration alono would
most probably supply tho Canal. I cannot doubt
the perfect practicability of the work. It is unne
cessary to enter hero, into a discujsion of the vast
importance or tho work, or of tho great interests
connected with its successful completion. My pur
pose is to allow tho poculinr interest which Savan
nah, Charleston and other South Atlantio ports
havo in it, and tho great benefits which thoy will
derive from it.
The terminus of this canal on tho Gulf side,
should bo at some point on Tampa Bay, and its At
lantic terminus at or in tho vicinity of the mouth ol
Indian River. This river extends about 12U miles
along tho Atlantic coast of Florida running parallel
with tho coast, and only separated from it by nar
row Islands or Keys. On tho abovo authority, 1
am told that it is navigablo throughout most of its
length for stoamers drawing soven or eight feet,
tho only obstructions being at a point known as tho
"narrows", extending but a short distance, and com-

says of it-:

Indeed, if we mistake not, thoy havo been confirm
ed by, tho investigations of others. This matter of
a ship canal acroes tho peninsula has engaged the
attontion of the people of the United States for tho
last fifty yean. Its importance has been so great,
and so universally acknowledged, that it has never
been lost sight of. A suitabio occasion has arrived
for ordaining such a moans of intercommunication.
There is now & considerable surplus revenue in tho
Treasury which is always increasing, and which
must soon be quarellcd for by Congress. What
bettor use can it bo put to than the excavation of a
grand canal, demanded imperiously by tho inter
ests of commerce! The national cunsequonco of
such a communication ought to make for it friends
in all quarters. Tho letter of our correspondent

commanleatioha that will be now to some persons.
The Steamer St. John’s.—On Thursday, we
paid a long-deferred visit to tho hull of this now
steamor, now nearly completed. It is being built
at the ship-Yard of Mr. H. F. Willink; Jr., which
yard,' they will find who measure the road, is
located down tho river at a pretty good fraction or
the distance Irom Savannah to Cockspur. Mr.
VViluny has astonished the solitude of tho marshes
there with tho frequent sound of hammers during
the summer, and the nice dry area which ho has
formed near and around the St. John's proves the
ok), adage .that, “a workman is known by his
chips."
'Its St. John's has an admirablo model for the
business in which sho will be engaged—!, e. it is
adapted to the curving passages of Romerly Marsh,
and such like places, and yet it is made for floct-
ness. We should think her model a good match
for the Welaka, made by Messrs. Jones & Papot
—both Savannah vessels ab oco.
Her dimensions aro:
Length of keel, 130 feet;
Length on deck, 150 feet, having a rake foward
of 51 feet;
Breadth of boam, 26 feet;
Extreme measurement from outside to outaido of
guards, 47 feet;
Depth of hold, 8 feet 4 inches;
, Side wheels 24 feet in diameter, with 6 feet
length of bucket;
The draught of the steamer when in running
trim will be 4i feet.
Thoso who will take the trouble to examine her,
will agree with us that sho is a clean, thoroughly
built Rod pretty vessel, reflecting great credit on
Mr. WtLLtax. Everything done so far, is on tho
best principles^! regards every requisite of strength,
durability and comfort. Her accommodations will
be for 80 passengers, and tho cabin arrangements
will be somewhatnovel.
The St. Johrfs will be launched about tho 12th
proximo, and be ready for duty by the 1st January
next. She is owned by soverol gentlemen in this
city, her list of stockholders presuming no Florida
names. Our old acquaintance, Capt. Freeborn,
who is part owner, will command her; and when
she takes her place on the lino, wo shall havo a

Premium Cotton.—We learn, from a private
despatch, that T. J. Smith, Esq, of Hancock coun
ty, received the first premium for twenty bales of)
Cotton at the Macon Fair. It is worthy of note that
this Cotton was ginned by a roller gin invented by
Mr. Oglesby, of Augusta. This is, perhaps, the
first time that a toller gin was ever put ia operation
for tho ginning of Upland Cotton. A specimen of
Cotton ginned in this machine, which Mr. Smith
refused to send to the Fair, may be aeon on our
Round Table.
Savannah Water Works.—Tho loilowtng is

this eft,, dated, laB .

from Glasgow to Savannah, the Iron pipes for your Wa

miles of tho navigable waters of the St. John's,
canal hero to that extent and the removal of some
obstacles in the upper waters of tho St. John’s
would secure nn inland navigation, safe and pleas
ant, from your city to Tampa Bay on the Gulf, for
the class of steamcre now running between your
city and Jacksonville, on the St. John’s. Thus the
main artery of travel and commerco between the
Gulf and Atlantic States and between Europo, tho
Gulf and Pacific States would bo tapped by your Sa
vannah boats, which would pour their full freights,
pessengers and merchnndiso into the lap oi your
prosperous commerce, for you can readily perceive
that passengers arriving at tho eastern terminus
and desirous of visiting any of tho South Atlantic
ports, would take this route, in consequence of its
safety, smoothness and variety.
Tho vast country bordering on tho St. Johns, on
Indian river, and extending along tho canal to
Gulf, would bccomo tributary to your city. It
would certainly be tho thoroughfare of travel for
the Gulf, Pacific and Mexican States, and tlio fa
cility of passago to n mild southern climate, on the
headwaters of tho St. Johns or along the banks of
tho canal in tho interior, or on tho genial coast of
Florida on tho Gulf, would induco many from tho
Northern States and interior to tako this route, for
along the Atlantio nnd Gulf coasts of Florida, or
between tho tonnini, almost any vnrioty of mild
winter climato may bo found.
I have no doubt that this enterprise will bo warm
ly advocated during tho next session of Congress,
nnd my wish is to draw public attention to tho sub-
joct with tho view of eliciting as much information
on the matter as possible, nnd I known no channel
more appropriate than your excellent and univer
sally read journal. If you think proper, givo this

The Isabel.—This splendid steamship, now
about resuming .her trips to the Havana, hns been
refurbished, nnd fitted up anew in the most elegant
style. In short, sho has been completely over
hauled—lias received new boilers, and her machin
ery has been subjected to a careful inspection. Tho
Sun says of the repairs and renovations:
"So thorough have they been that sho looks like
a now ship, and may be regarded as in all respects
better than she was the day she was launched. Tho
expense incurred in her repairs cannot bo much less
than $40,000/’

Important to the Planters op tub South.—
It is stated (says tho Baltimore Sun) that ar
rangements have been made through a responsible
banking house in this city, in correspondence with
Europe, to make advances to planters who desire
promoting a direct trado with the Continent of Eu
rope. Tho American says that the parties engaged
in it are of tho highest character, and it under
stands that all the necessary details havo been ar
ranged, and it only remains for tho planters to act
or not, as they may deem fit. The planters will
be addressed by circular or personal application,
and will be put in possession ol tho uecessary
information to enable them to judge for them
selves.
At a late meeting of tho British Association for
tho advancement of Science, (according to the New
York Post) Sir David Brewster laid before tho So
ciety a rock of crystal lens, taken from Nineveh,
where it had for centuries, lain entombed in the
ruins of that once magnificent city. Ho establish
ed tho statement by producing tho lens itself, which
was of a somewhat oval shape, 16-10ths inches in
its greatest diameter, and of tho character known
ns plano-convex, the plain side being one of the
original faces of tho crystal, whiio tho convex side
had tho appearance of having been ground on a
lapidary’s wheel, instead of being shaped in tho
dish-shaped tool now used by opticians. It has al
ways been believed that the ancients were entirely
ignorant of lenses and their properties—to say
nothing of tho important 'optical instruments, the
telescope, microscope, &c., which nro formed of
them.
The French Navy.—Much attention is now at
tracted towards tlio immense navy of France. It
is increasing so rapidly as almost to justify the be
lief that Louis Napoleon intends, in due time, to
“try conclusions" with "perfidious Albion.” In
tho course of tho year 1853, the French navy will
Mock Courtesy.—Tho N. Y. Courier It En
quirer, speaking of tho kind reception of tho
Black Warrior at Havana, lately, sayqj
It is quite in keeping with tho Spanish Colonial
policy in such matters, which is to
“ Compound Tor alns they are incltned to,
Ity damning those they hate no mind to.* 1
It is their wont to endeavor to compensate for
their tyrannical conduct to thoso whom thoy wish
to oppress, by an excess of courtesy to those whom
they wish to conciliate. But, in tho present cose, it
is safe to say that tho unmeaning compliment will
not bo allowed to balunco tho deliberate insult.

IRIPOUTANT FROM HAVANA.
The Crescent City at New York.
This stonmor arrived at New York on the morn
ing of tho 19th inst.
The following particulars of tho reception of the
Crescent City at Havana, wo take from tho N. Y.
Courier ij Enquirer:
Tho Crescent City entered tho harbor of Havana
at break of day, on the 14th, beloro tho lights wore
out, and it is supposed by thoso on board that it was
owtug to her not being seen, until woll insido of the
liurbor, that they were not molested. At Bunrisc
tho Cupt. of the Fort camo alongside and asked for
tlio obnoxious Mr. Smith, who ho wus told wus
still on board; he then informed Capt. Porter
that as tho ship was in Fort no steps would bo
taken to turn him out, but that no communication
would bo allowed with tho shore or any ono from
the shore.
Cupt. Porter said that ho desired to present his
■Alnpl ... tlin (Linai.l fin wMnll ihn IVnt.ln nI" thfl
, , tore since, Dung n ro tost to tho Consul, on which tho Captain of tho
up tho revenue from that source to at least fifteen | p or t, politely oiforod to get further orders from tho
Capt. General, in the mean timo, informed Captain
nnd a quarter million of dollars for tho first quarter
of tho fiscal year. We must look for an incomo,
exclusivo of tho proceeds of tlio Publie Lands, of
over $50,000,000, and an addition to tho already
burdensomo surplus oi twelvo or fifteen millions of
dollars.
Starvation at 8ea.—Tlio barque Kremlin,
which recently arrived at San Francisco, when in
longitudo 134 deg. 41 min. west, nnd latitude 35
dog. 10 min. north, on tho 26th ol July, fell in with
the brig Rostrand, bound for tho same port from
Pnnamn, with paasongors, mostly New Englanders,
who had started for California, but, reaching tlio
Isthmus, were unable to get passage in the steam
ers, and were obliged to tako thuir chanco on board
this old brig. Whon fallen in with, thoy were out
of provisions and water, in conscquenco of which
twenty-two of them had died. Tho Captain of the
Kremlin took off eight of tho survivore, nnd sup
plied tho remainder with provisions and water.
Women or the Plains.—Tho St. Louis Union
of tho 9th says: "Among tho possengore on
Banner State were tho three Miss Hums, who nro
just in from the Plains. Those Indies formerly re
sided in Kipley county, Ind., and in tho month ol
April last, in compnny with somo sovdn nr eight
members of their family, passed through this city
en route for California. Thoy had not mado any
considerable progress in thoir journey across tho
plains, before tho cholera in its most malignant form,
made its appearance among them, and when they
reached tho city of Salt Lake, every malo member
oi tho party had fallen victims to tho nwful scourge.
Thus left alone, and without thoir natural protect
ors, tho ladies determined to return homo, and per
formed tho return trip without encountering any
extraordinary privations. This is a very remark
able and painfully interesting case.

and another carriago like hor, if ho were to estab
lish an accommodation lino for passengers between
the Railroad depot and the Eastern wharves? Givo
the thing a trial! It will pay, surely, from this time
till next July, at least.
The Movement of Cotton.—For the last few
days the 7 plank road has been alivo with drays
laden with all descriptions of merchandise, among
which'of course, cotton is tho most conspicuous.
Evory thing indicates that the receipts of cotton
will bo unusually large hero this year, and tho con
tinued fine weather will do much towards realizing
tbo favorable anticipations entertained. At tho
Railroad depot yesterday, thoro were not much
loss than 6,000 bales, and it is altogether probable
that the receipts for October will be fifty per cent,
beyond thoso of the same month last year.
’ On Wednesday night a very elegant fancy dress
ball came off at tbo Lanier House in Macon. A
costumer from.Npw-.york was in attendance who
supplied superb dresses ot prices varying from $5
to$15. Itis said that tho affair went off wo)l.
Wo regret that some of our Savannah friends who
proposed to figure at it, arrived a little too lato.
Why did they hot advertiso tho ball 1
by sails, 120 by steam, and 8 by both methods com
bined on now principles.
A Lono Exile.—On the 9th instant, says tho
New Prussian Gazette, a small carriago, drawn
by two small ponies, stopped at a hotel in Kloa-
tertrasec, at Berlin. In it were an old man, mean
ly dressed, with a beard reaching to his breast, and
a female nearly os aged as himself. The inn
keeper, not pleased with their appearance, and not
understanding tho language in which tho old man
addressed him, refused to reecivo thorn. Tho old
man then spoko in French to an office! who was
passing, and requested him to speak to tho inn
keeper. Ho informed the officer that ho came from
Siberia, where ho was trasported in 1812 os a pris
oner, he being at the timo a sergeant in tho French
army. After marrying, nnd living in Siberia lorty
years, ho had suddenly folt a strong desiro to visit
his native country, nnd with the aid of the Rus
sian authorities had set out for Nancy, the place
of his birth.
The toreign papers state that Queen Victoria at
tended the recent gathering of tho Scottish clans
at Brecmor. Sho was attired in a victoria tartan
dress, black velvet polka, Royal Stuart tartan satin
scarf, and black silk drawn bonnet. Prince Albert
wore a lull Highland costume of Royal Stuart
tartan. Tho royal children were also dressed in
tartan, and thoy all sat on two sofas of Farquhar-
8on tartan, on a Tartar carpet!
Outrage.—Tho LouliviUo Courier of the 5th
inst. says:—"About 7 o’clock lost ovoning a follow

This mode of ascent hns not only been equalled in
this city, but surpassed. Mr. J. G. Fallioant per

to painting the tower and spire of tho Independent

Ho assured us, in talking about it once, that ho had

Tire Eruption of /Etna.—W o find the follow
ing graphic account of tho lava in a letter dated
Catania, August 30:
_ Yusterday, after breakfast,wo reached Zafiarana.
From the Inst house in the village wo saw tho lava
at gunshot distance, and nt that distance the beat
was very great. Tho manner in which tho extra
ordinary and (rightful torrent advanced is not to bo
described—it must bo scon. It moves slowly and
uninterruptedly; tho first waves, if 1 may so ex
press myself, rise and full nt tho least obstacle they
encounter; then send forth streamlets here and
there, recede, extend themself cs, and again ad
vance. Now it is heard as a continued sound of
Porter, that the ship might bo in port as long ns
suited his purpose, and might go to sea when she
pleased, as they acknowledged no control over, but
uominuuicatc, sho should nut in any manner.
Such was tho Captain General's order, and by
way of enforcing them, tho guard bouts were placed
on all sides of tlio ship, filled with tbo usuul polico
to board vessels.
Cnpt. Porter, after breakfast, ordered tho paint
pots got up, und set tho men to work systematically
to puiut the ship outside, from wbieit mancuuvro it
was supposed by tho guurd bouts that she intended
o stay ut least u week. In conscquenco the police
bouts were reliovcd, and two bouts with regular
crews detailed from a frigato to watch the Cre
scent City.
At nino o’clock, tho Captain of tho port enmo
alongside ugain, and informed Capt. Porter that
ho would nut be permitted to lay his nrotest before
thoAmorican Consul. He was asked by Captain
Porter what uso a Consul was, if American vessels
in difficulty were nut permitted to communicate
with them. That in any civilized nation, a Consu
was recognized ns tho representative of his country,
and tho laws ol* nutions cntitlo citizens to have au-
!ss to him.
Tho Captain of tho port doclinod entering into _
discussion of the matter, nffititiing (which was
true) that he was exercising no authority of Itis
own, but acting entirely under ordors. Tho inter
view terminated; so did the outside painting, nnd
steam was ordered up.
Tho captain intended to drop two copies of his
protest on board an American barque ana brig lying
In tho lower harbor, when just ns tho Crescen
City was about moving ahead word came oil' thu:
Mr. Morales, (of tho house of Drako & Co., am
agent of this compauy) had permission to come
along side, which he did in a few moments aftor in
a shore boat, but accompanied by u government
boat with three officors.
Mr. Morales thought this difficulty could bo got
over by Mr. Smith sending a written denial to the
Captain-General with regard to the accusations of
Peter Hicks. This Captain Porter refused to per
mit, as he had made himself two disavowals which
had not boon received, nor would he permit c
officer on bourd the ship to go to tho authorities.
Ho considered it bencuth tho dignity of the Com

Capt. Porter, also refusod on his own part to hold
any correspondence with any one on the matter ex
cept through tho Unitod States Consul. It was
then endeavored to uscortain from Cupt. Porter the
nature of tho document ho wished to send to tlio
Consul, and if it contuined a disavowal of tho char
ges against Mr. Smith.
They wore informed that it was a protest, and
that it referred to tho two former disavowals mode
by Capt. Porter; but at at the same time it was
written in plain terms. Tho object was evidently
to get some kind of apology or acknowledgement
of wrong on the part of Mr. Smith, which would
enable them to settle tho affair which was becom
ing rather troublosomo.
In this, howover, thoy rccoived no assistance
from tho Crescent City, and after somo discussion
among tho Spanish officers, they offered to go on
shore und seoif it was not possible to got tho pro
test delivered, to tho Consul. Thoy thought it
could bo done if it was first ascertained whether tho
document contained anything offensive to the
Spanish Government.
Information on this matter was denied them,not-
withstnnding which tbo officers did not go ashore
with Mr. Morales, and aftor somo time the Acting
Consul, Mr. Moreland, camo alongside in a gov
ernment bont. in company with tho Captain ot tho
rt, Don Gulllemo Chacon.
'I he Consul was not, however, permitted tocomo
on board nor allowed to wrilo homo by tho Cres
cent City. Capt. Porter delivered his protest m
person,and boing informed by Mr. Moreland that
nothing more could be dono, the Crescent City put
to sea neither subdued or conquered.
As sho passed tho Custom-nouao, thousands were
assembled to witness her departure. The star-
spangled banner was run up to tho foretopmaat
head, as she passed, and as it floated out upon tho
breeze its stars looked as bright as evor.
Not a sound was heard from that vaBt multitudo;
but thoro wore beating hearts in that crowd filled
with tho belief that tho insult to that flag would bo
avonged.
Many silently,attested thoir respect by uncover
ing their heads, as tho steamer under a full head of
steam swept by the mole.
As tho Crescent City passod by Moro Castle, sho
fired a gun in honor ot the flag that floated proudly
at her foremost hood, and seemed to bear detianco
to tho frowning Castle of despotism.

Letter from William Gordon, Esq* for several years U.
S. Deputy Marshal for tho District of Massachusetts.
New Dkdford, March 0,1851.
Messrs. Retd, Rats* 4* Austin—Gentlemen: For the
last six.years, uiy wife has Leon almost constantly anile-
tod with thut most distressing malady. Dyspepsia. Fre
quently during that period of time, site has been com
pelled to give up the ordinary cores of my family, nnd
confine herself to the house, lr not to her room. Her at
tendant symptoms were oonstlpntlon of iho bowels,hend-
ache, pain In tho sldo, acidity of thu stomach, severe
nausea, nnd dejection of spirits; nnd fur weeks at a time
scarcely a particlo of moisture mado ils appearance on
the surface of the chest or limbs. Thu most simple food
when taken Into tho stomach would cause distress.
In tho inoantlino various medicines were resorted to,
but without auccoss. Near the closo or last Autumn,
whon much reduced In health nnd strength, sho was
earnestly solicited by a lady In Uoston, wuo had been
greatly ocnofllted by using the same, to procure and take
the Oxygenated Hitters. Sho did so. Iu loss than one
week sho whs greatly relieved, aud lu less lime than ono
month was ablo to superintend all household cures of the
family. Bho Is now restored to a good degree of health
nnd strength. Therefore, from what I havo seen and
tnnwnln herenso, 1 take great pleasure In recommend-
ng the use of Dr. Green’s Oxygenated Hitters to every
E rson who inuy bo so unfortunate as to be afflicted with
spopsla. Respectfully your*
