Monday Morning, August H, 1880.
A Gale. On Saturday the weather was again re
markably warm, and about noon it was more op-
presaive than on any day during the past week. At
3 o'clock, the thermometer stood at 24°. About 4
o'clock a gale from the North Eastsprung up, accom
panied with a alight ruin. It lasted about half an
hoar, bat daring that period, did considerable dum-
ageto the trees on the hay ; window shutters and
sign boards were blown in every direction.
During the gule, which was uncommonly severe
for a period oi fifteen minutes, the truSs-work of a new
cotton shed, for the Hydraulic Press, ut the Eastern
Wharf, was blown down, it was 2z5 feet long and
(>U lent wide, and at the time it fell several persons
were at work on it, aud we regret to state tiiut three
colored boys were injured by the lulling ot the ratters
ono rather severely.
iar We learn from the Charleston Courier, that
the Oca Cow, a notice oi tho capture of which was
published in thu A tics, a few days since, died in that
kity on Friday morning, its skin uud skeleton have
been preserved.
fSS** Ship Tamerlane, of tiavannali, now at Nuw
Bedford, has been purchased by Messrs Thomas
Knowles & Co, for a whaler, to bo communded by

Southern Righto Meeting in Clurke.
The Athens Mug of the 1st mst., says thut tho
meeting held in thut place, lust efuturduy, was attended
by a largo number of citizens Iruiu town auu
country, Several speeches were delivered on vurious
sets oi resolutions introduced, uud thu meeting
finally adjourned to meet aguiu on Thursday
next, 8Ui lust. Among the speakers was Judge
HkNkVj K. Jackson, who ill an able address advo
cated the Senate Compromise. An ubstruct ot Judge
Jackson's remarks appear in thu lust Atnuus Banner.
His views of tho question are similar.to tuose advunc-
. ed at the late meeting iu tins city by J udgo Law. Ho
conceived that the non-lntorveunuu policy is the
true policy of the South, aud that we gum more ter
ritory by the Clay Compromise thuu oy the' Missou
ri hue, by the adoption oi which we concede to Con
gress the right to legislate on the subject el Slavery.
For our own part, wo would be very willing to ud-
hore to the nou-interveutiun policy, u tho Northern
majority in Congress were not seeking to do indirect
ly what that policy would preclude them from do
ing directly, nut when wo see the movements ulreudy
on loot to deprive us ulevery inch ot the public domuin,
by the admission of wildernesses el Indians und
mixed bluoda ot all tribes uud nations us free States,
we think it is time to draw the hue, be that lino what
it may Whut good will non-intervention do ue
when we are shut out from, the Pactiic, uud hemmed
in on sill aides by a cordon of li eu States J
Judge Jackson very properly regards the ques
tion as unconnected with party politics.
Howell Cobb for thh Compromise. lion.
Howell Cobb, has written a letter to W. H. Hull,
Msqr. of Atbeus Ha., in which he takes strong
grounds in favor of the Compromise oi the Com
mittee oi Thirteen. He expresses his pretureuce
lor this Bill over iiny other plan as yet suggested

EF* A trunk belonging to the Express line of
Messrs. Butterfield and Wells, was discovered to lio
on tire on Tuesday lost while on the wharf in New
York. The trunk was full of valuable silks and
jewelry, and on opening it, it was found that some
one had poured a quantity of Sulphuric Acid into the
keyhole, setting nearly all tho packages on fire.—Sev
eral buckets of water wore poured upon tho burning
goods, and after considerable trouble, tlie firo was
extinguished. The loss and damages sustained by
fire and water, will, in all probability, exceed $600,
upon which there is no insurance.

the previous reports by Commodore Morris.
BrltlHh Cotton growing In the Went Indies.
It has become tho fashion of late, in certain quar
ters at the North, to discuss tho resources of tho
South, and to estimate the probabilities of a foreign
rivalry in the production of our grc*‘ staple, by
which the Cotton of the Southern States will be shut
out from the European markets. England, it is well
known, lias for many years been endeavoring to in-
troduce tho culture of Cotton into India, and, in tho
hope to render her manufacturers independent of the
Americun producer, lias expended millions of dollars
in experimenting with the soil, labor and inferior
fibre of her India possessions. All these efforts have
proved abortive; and though Egypt, Brazil and
Surat liavo supplied a moiety of the inferior qual
ities of Cotton consumed at Manchester, it lias
been found that the cotton fields of the Southern
States of this Union were the only safe reliance,
und the only source from whence a supply equal
to tho dcniund could bo obtained, iu tbe apprehen
sion that the crops of tho United States may foil to
supply tlie increasing demand, and with u view to
promote as much us possible their independence of
our cotton market, the Liverpool and London Cham
bers of Commerce have recently turned their atten
tion towurds the West Indies, and arc examining tlie
cupncity of Jamaica for the cultivation of Cotton.—
We have information by the last steamer that a lead
ing mercantile house in the first mentioned city had
laid before the Cliuirmun and Council a sample of
tlie article grown in tlie neighborhood ul' Kingston,
'amaica, from New Urleuus seed, and band picaed.
It had been examined by several experienced bro
kers, who ull pronounced it ruuking up to New Or-
leuns “fair,” worth 7 l-2d. per.ib. to-duy ; but,from
several known facts, it wus concluded tho Egyp
tian, Brazil, aud Surat seed would udapt itself bet
ter to tropical culture. These samples of Jainaicu-
grown cotton were exhibited by the house of Messrs.
Cuinpbell, Arnolt be Co., who miproVod tho oecusion
to assure thu Chumber tiiut one of their ugcuts hud
gonu to the United States, instructed to acquire u
practical knowledge of eotum culture. They state,
moreover, thut they uro importing seed both from
tho Surat district and Egypt, to encourage the West
India enterpize.
The New York Evening Express iu an article tin
this subject suys :
In tlie West India islands the cotton plant is suid
to bo perenuiul, blossoming utter tue spring und uu-
tuinn ruins, und yielding two successive crops in
June and December ; und not only so, but tlie siirub
instead of being unnuully replanted as in thu South
ern States inlgtit be pruned down to much udvau-
tugu for ut loust three successive years; tlie light
soil abounding uloug tlie coast, also, is very favora
ble to its growth, uud tile most essential feature, dry
weather, during the picking season, we are assureu,
cun generally be relied on, uud, of course, there is
nouu of tiiut precuriousness arising from lrost, Ate.
The discouraging state of tlie sugar interest in the
Island of Jamaica would eeenij to oiler u fair oppor
tunity for tho cultivation of cotton. Tho iubor
widen the lutter requires is said to be nut liulfso se
vere ns that which tiioTormer unremittingly demands.
Labor is cheap, and it is certain that tiiosc who cuu-
not be induced to work upon u sugur plantation
would readily consent to the cultivation of cotton.
Even women and children could find eusy and pro
fitable employment, so comparatively light is said to
bethe tux imposed by tlie climate of Jumaica upon
thephysiciul abilities of tho labor.
All these facts are urged upou the immediate con
sideration of the Chamber of Commerce, witli a
significant appendix that tho moral considerations
involved, alone, should stimulate the friends of free
labor, as well as the friends of the manufacturing in
terests, to speedy action in tho matter.
These movements are pregnant with considera
tions worthy tho prot'oumiest reflection our friends
in tho Southern States can give to them ; consider
ations it is not needed we should particularly point
out here. They are, or should be apparent to all,
and especially to such rampant patriots ns now and
then tell us, after a public dinner at Charleston or in
other localities, oft' in that latitude, that without the
cotton of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, tuid
Louisiana, the world in generally would go to pieces,
—but particularly Great Britian and the Northern
States of this Union.
We cannot agree with tlie editor that this move
ment has anything in it to excite the apprehensions
of the South. The policy of England towards her
West Indian colonies lias long since given the death
blow to thoir agricultural prosperity. Tlie few years
past has shown tho inability of these islands, in their
present condition, to compete with us in the cultiva
tion of sugar, notwithstanding the fostering protec
tion of tho British government; and it is but a fair in
ference that if they cannot grow sugar successfully
they cannot produce Cotton successfully. The edi
tor ’s mistaken if he supposes that Cotton needs no
culture, and that it requires n less expenditure of la
bor than sugar in its production. -The crops require
very nearly 'lie same amount mid the same class of
labor, and while the West Indian planter is dependent
on the apprentices and imported Coolies of those is
lands, lie will never be able to compote with the plant
er of the Southern States. Even witli the same class
oi labor the former could not excel the lntter in the
production of cotton. While the world wants cot
ton—and until the human family turn sans culottes
or resort again to fig-leaves—the demand for tt will
continue to increase, it will procure it wherever the
best quality of tlie article is to bn had on the best
terms. The South has never encountered any form
idable competition, and, with her soil mid domestic
institutions, lias no cause to apprehend any that she
will not be able to meet.
But, even if Cotton to bupply tho world can be
grown in the West Indies—aud even if the Cotton
of the Southern States is to he driven from tlie mar
ket by the cotton of tho Ea6t or West Indies, what
will the “friends of free laboY" at the North gain by
the change?—or in what respect will tile South be
rendered worse olf than the North ? Wo can at least
grow Cotton for our own 'Consumption, while the
Northern manufacturer will he compelled to buy it
of its British producer. Iu this we would have a
signal advantage, while in every other respect we
would be on an equal footing; for tl-erc is no pro
duct of the earth cultivated at tlie North that our soil
will not produce in abundance—no mineral that our
mines do not furnish us, and no production of art
that Southern skill mid ingenuity cannot supply.
True, Cotton is our great staple, and may be call
ed tho great staple of the American Union, since it is
tho basis of her export commerce; but it is not nil tho
wealth of the South; and should the time ever come
when its cultivation will cense to be profitable, it will
be seen Hint we have within ourselves ns much of
the elements of independence as any other section of
the Union.
Correspondence of the Daily Morning Fetes.
New-York, July 20, 1850.
The weather is too sultry to permit any news to
be stirring, so excessive is tho languor produced by
jt, that it really secni9 to ho too treat an exertion even
to think. When ministers of tlie Gospel (those of up.
per-ten-dom, of course) find it inconvenient to prencli,
shut up tlie church, and follow their congregations to
watering places, ono may suppose, tiiut the religious
fire has been extinguished by the more powerful rays
of tho sun, and that a recess was absolutely necessa
ry. Nearly all the fashionable churches in tho city
are now closed, and up town is decidedly not at
home.
Sir Henry Lytton Buhver, arrived here on Satur
day, and will shortly take possession of his Cottago
on Staten Island ; he is now on tho Island, tho
guest of a neighbor. lie complains greiitly of the
climate of Washington, I hear, and is quite enerva
ted by it. Mr. James, I understand, will visit Sir Hen
ry when he is domiciliated.
Great preparations are making to give General
Pnez a public reception to-morrow, it is said, thut
the authorities will join in the ceremony, but I dont
believe it. For my part, I think we make such mat
ters too common. It is nil very well for the country
men of distinguished individuals, and the public,
who choose to join them, tu give a reception ; but to
incur vast expense, ot tho cost of an already heavily
taxed people, upon the arrival of any hero and pat
riot, is us impolitic as it is unjust. We are glad to
welcome the hero, oppressed from every land ; but
tlie sincerity of tho welcome is not proved by pomp
und show. Garibaldi will be hero in a day or two,
and if one is to be honored why not the other, miiV
so with every persecuted victim who conics to ouP
shores. W
Forrest, tho tragedian, I am sorry to say, is fast
degenerating into loaferism, and seems “hale fellow
well met" with any ono who will associate with him.
He is boarding at a third rate hotel here, and I have
been surprised to see how much ho has descended,
judging from tlie appearance of those witli whom he
driuks attlic bar, and the familiar “Ned” with which
they usually accost him. Mrs. Forrest, I believe, is
now in tho choir of Trinity Church, and teaches tile
piano,on which she plays with remarkable skill. I hear
no more of the divorce suit, although 1 am assured
thatForrc8t lias commenced one in the Philadelphia
Common Pleas, aud she, ono in the Courts oi this
city.
The journeymen tailors of the city are still in a
state of desperation—tlie goose is warmed no more,
and the thimble is thrown aside—they now promen
ade through tlie streets, hold mass meetings, frighten
industrious and reasonable workmen, nnd kick up.
all sorts of of antics in violation of good order and
of tho laws. A mass meeting of the Cralt was held
on Saturday, when undisguised socialism stuck out
considerably in the resolutions nnd speeches. The
only question, however, seems to be, whether they
shall dictate to the bosses, or tlie bosses to them, and
I presume tho bosses will speedily decide ‘hat.
The number ot deaths in tho city increased last
week, being 76 more than tho previous one. The
whole number was 467, and of these 300 were cliil
dren. Three enses of cholera were reported, but it
is believed improperly so. Young doctors are very
npt to mistake diarrhea,or malignant cholera morbus,
for the Asiatic cholera, nnd inconsiderately report it.
There is evidently no epidemic. The exposures and
excesses caused by tho funeral procession, no doubt,
swelled the bill of mortality considerably.
Most of the crew of the supposed slaver Mar
tha, have been liberated; but the Cuptain is still in
prison, and it will go hard with him, I think.. He is
to bo examined this week.
The Atlantic went otf again on Saturday, with 122
passengers, and a good freight. There was consider
able interest exhibited on shore as she passed down
the river. Bets were offered that she will be in Liv-
“rpool in ten days, but they were not very reudily
taken. The Ohio left for Cbagres on the same day
with 106 passengers. Several ladies were among
them.

LAST HOURS OF THE COMPROMISE BILL IN
THE SENATE.
We give below the proceedings In the Senate, on
Wednesday last, with the ayes and nays of the va
rious ballotings on the compromise bill, in order that
our readers may understand the true history ot the
fate of the measure and he able to judge how
much wrong bus been committed and by whom.
Washington, July 31st, 1850.
Senate. The Compromise hill wus taken up—
pending the motion of Mr. Norris to strike out the
provision which restricts the territorial governments
from passing any law prohibiting or establishing
slavery.
Mr Jefferson Davis opposed it.
Tho amendment was agreed to, yeas 32, nays 21,

21.
Mr. Walker brought forward an amendment strik
ing out all except what relates to California. But
Mr. Pearce offered an amendment, which took pre
cedence, to wit; to reinstate what had been strick
en out relative to New Mexico, and the amendment
of Mr. Downs adopted yesterday, und provides that
the terriiorial government of New Mexico shall go
into operation on the 4th day of March, 1851.
Mr. Pearce spoke ill support of the motion.
Mr. Foot resisted it, nnd declared that it would de
feat tlie bill.
Mr. Rusk opposed the amendment. He hnd hop
ed that Texas wouId beat rest for one day. Ho
would stand to be shot ut, but not every dny to be
snapped at. He complained of tho want of sym
pathy and regard for the rights nnd feelings of Tex
as. He was afraid that some were ready to test
tho strengh of this government in a conflict with a
State. It would be found a hazardous experimeqf.
Mr. Dawson opposed the amendment.
Mr. Shields had with reluctance voted for the
amendment of the Senators from Georgia. Upon
reflection, he would not defend that provision; And
he would support tlie amendment of tlie Senator
from Maryland, (Mr. Pearce.)
Mr. Benton spoke at length in support of the amend
ment, and in opposition to tlie surrender of New
Mexico to Texas. IIo was in favor of keeping pos
session of New Mexico until tlie title wus decided by
competent authority.
Mr. Houston and Mr. Dawson replied.
Mr. Pearce’s amendment was finally agreed to—
stricking out certain sections relative to N. Mexico.
Mr. Dawson's amendment was agreed to, yens 33,

Mr. Underwood said tlie bill could be passed, but
it was necessary to give NowMexico a government.
Do it ourselves or let Texas do it, or have a territo

clause saving the rights of Texas.
The question was taken on Mr. Douglas’s amend
