The Struggle in the Home—Danger of the Bounda
ry and Territorial Ilille—Plan for gating them
Through—Another Omnibus, by Amendments—
Trifling on the Diplomatic. Bill—-Fugitive Slave
Bill—Movement of (ierritt Smith, Ift.
I Informed you, some day* ago, that tho Senate
bilb for the adjuatmont of the lexan boundary and
theeatabliibuent of territorial goremmenta, were in
danger or failure in tho Houaeof Representatives.
The danger haa increased, notwithstanding the de
cided efforts of tho friends of tho ndministrai ion. It
ii the opinion of judicious men who arc well ac
quainted with the feeling of tho House, that tho com
binations against the hills, taken singly, must prevail.
Them is, however, a majority in favor of tho princi
ple and object of the Texan boundary bill, though
there is much disagreement a» to its— details.
Borne of the northern men who will agree to tho
ton millions, insist upon the lino proposed by the new
constitution of New Mexico, or upon tho line fixed
by the law of Mexico. The great difficulty as to the
passage of the hill lies in tho mutual distrust which
northern and southern men cherish ns to each others
designs, and the total absence of any conciliatoiy or
compromising disposition on either side.—The south
ern men, with few exceptions, will vote against tak
ing up the Texan bill, in advnneu of the territorial
bills; while tile northern mou, for tho most part, will
insist upon passing the Texan and California bills
first. 1 am. by no means, sure that the majority of
the House is not decidedly opposed the territorial bills
as they stand. To say nothing of the southern op
position, a large majority of the northern members
are in favor either of non-action as to tho territories
or of the Wilmot proviso.
1 had supposed that a serious attempt would be
mude, to-morrow, or at an early day, to take up the
Texan bill from tho Speaker’s table and pass it un
der the previous question. I counted only n hun
dred members os certainly against it, yet 1 believe it
to be tho best chance for i’s success. Hut there are
now undoubtedly a hundred and twenty members,
at least, who will vote against that scheme. Some,
it is true, may vote to make it up, in order to kill
It.
In this perplexing state of things, a suggestion has
been made which may certainly relieve tho House
from somo of their difficulties. A portion of the
Southern democratic conservatives will propose to
unite the threo bills in ono measure, according to the
omnibus plan, and, in this way, it is thought they
may be passed without alteration.
Thus, suppose the Utah bill be first taken up, the
bill to settled the boundaries of Texas can be propos
ed as an amendments, and the hill establishing the
territorial governments of New Mexico as an amend
ment to the amendment. The previous question will
bring tho vote directly on the latter amendment, and
the amendment as amended and upon the bill as
amended, excluding any motion to add the Wilmot
proviso. This appears to bo a practicable scheme,
and it is in the hunds of those who can give it suc
cess. Tills three passenger omnibus would go back
to the 8enute,and there stand its chance for rejection
or concurrence, as tho cose may be.
The House is engaged inelaborate trifling ovorthe
civil and deplomatic bill. Demagogueism forma tho
basis of all the propositions for amendments. There
dues not seem to bo much disposition to expedite
the public business.
The Bcnate will, to-morrow, take up the fugitive
slavo bill, the bill of the committee of thirteen will
pass,unless decidedly opposed by thcjSouthcrn Sen
ators. It is very desirable that a bil> satisfactory
to the Senators from Virginia, Kentucky and Mary
land—States chiefly interested in the subject—should
be passed. But the bill should not only be satisfac
tory to them, but to the States in which it is to be en
forced.
It will bo easy to frnme a law that will aggravate
the evil instead oi curing it A more effectual law
against negro-stealing or abduction, within this Dis
trict, would be of use. I do not see why laws can
not be passed so as to reach tho accomplices of the
negro-stealers, who ure sent to this city by Northern
associations, (ierritt .Smith, a noted inun in New
York, lias Invited fugitive slaves to assemble on the
21st in Madison county, New York, with a promise
of hospitality, &c.
Ho probably expected, when ho Issued his card,
a considerable accession to his number of runaway
clients, from the enterprise of his coadjutor and
lieutenant, (Chaplin,) whose present engagements
will not permit him to attend the jubilee. Hut, it is
evident that, in Cozemorovia, Midison county, N.
Y„ will be found, on tho Slst, a number of runaway
sluves, and of tho fellows who abducted them from
their owners. Either a good haul by the police or a
Cape May riot may be expected. Ion.
Lnuucb of the Hnvnnnah Floating Dry
Dork.
We wore present yesterdny morning at the launch
of the Dry Dock, which took pluce about half past
eight o’clock. The spectacle was an exceedingly in
teresting one and the launch was managed in a man
ner which reflected the highest credit on the capacity
and skill of Mr. Landkrshine, under whose dircc.
tion tho Dock lias been built. The flret essay to move
tho immense structure from the weighs was made by
the Steamers (Jen. Clinch and St. Mathews, but after a
’long pulland a strong pull together,"upon the hawsers
attached to the Dock, they only proved their inability
to accomplish the undertaking, the St. Mathows los
ing a part of her after railing and her boat, in her des
perate effort to assist the Dock into its own element.
The stenmers were finally detached and both moved
oft', tho St. Mathews cutting a rather "sorry figure" as
we say in Georgia, minus her tail-feathers. After
some further preparation and after Mr. Landershine
hail brought his appliances effectually to hear upon
the upper side of the dock, tho steamers wero again
attached, when the Dock, with scarcely any assistance
from them,moved smoothly and steadily if not grace
fully from the ground weighs, and settled ns gontly in
the water, ns if it had been a baby’s cradle instead of
n cradle in which ahips are to bo nursed. The crowd
then gave three hearty cheers in compliment to tho
successful accomplishment of this new anil impor
tant enterprise, an enterprise which is destined not
only to pay handsome dividends to the proprietors,
but greatly to benefit the maritime and commercial
interests of our city.
The Dock is on the plan of Gilbert’s Patent Bal
ance Floating Dry Dock; is 220 feet long, by 65 wide,
and 20 feet deep, and is capable of receiving a vessel
of 2500 tons burthen. We learn that it is expected to
have'the Dock in readiness for the reception of ves
sels by the firBt of November. It will havo two en
gines and twelve pumps, and will, when completed,
be equal to any other merchant ship Dock in the Uni
ted States. The engines and machinery nre being
built by our enterprising fellow citizen, A. N. Mil
ler.
We take pride in the Savannah Floating Dry Dock,
which we regard as another and important move
ment towards that commercial eminence and pros
perity which is the sure destiny of our city. There
is a spirit of steady,persevering enterprise among our
business men, which is accomplishing great things
for Savannah, and which cannot fail speedily to con
duct her to that rank among tho commercial cities, to
which, by her geographical position and natural ad
vantages, sho is entitled.
We understand that the Dock will remain a few
dayBin its present position, near Jas. A.Quantock's
Mill, previous to being taken across the river to
Low’s Wharf where it is to be stationed.
LARGEROBBEItY—CONFLICT BETWEEN THE
MILITARY AND THE ROBBERS.
The schooner Sharron, Capt. Ducey, from Cha-
gres on the 31st ult., arrived at New Orleans on Fri
day, Ackerman Sc Co.’s train, from I’nnama for Cha-
gres, was attacked ten miles out from Panama, on
the 25th July, and robbed of $38,000 in gold dust.
The authoritiea at Panama dispatched twenty-two
soldiers immediately in pursuit of the robbers; they
came «p with them a few miles from the city, when
afighttook place, In which sixteen of the robbers
were killed. The government troops did not succeed
In re-taking the lost plunder. The government nil
thorities were about sending out a much stronger
force on the 30tb, with a determination to clear the
Isthmus of tho robbers.

of the Senate. All motions to amend were rejected.
The vote in every instance being—yeas eleven, nays

‘ The Harvest. Finer harvest weather than that with
tich Piovidcuce has blessed us could not be desir-
The reaping of the corn fields is In progress
ublin and some of the midland and Southern
Sumplea of new oats and barley are
t in pretty freely at the Doublin Corn Ex-
aid tho quality of both is described ns ex-
i some of the more forward districts the

(he injury to wheat is partial, and tho

time there is nothing to warrant the
st apprehension for tho present immense
i crop, and vast quantities are now consumed by
the humbler classes.
The Potato Blight.—The Galway Vindicator and
cne of the Limerick papers, received on the morning
of the 3d. renew tile disheartening reports about the
potato Wight. It is stated that a large pprtion of
tho crop has been destroyed in l he Island of Arran,
and in - tune localities In the vicinlty|of Lough Corrip;
but with the exception of these, the accoumts receiv
ed from every part of the couutry are in the highest
degree cheering. "sBfejhuiiilpt
. Sale of the O'Connell Properly.—The estates of Mr.
John O’Cuunel were to bo sold by the Commissioners
on the 8th of August. They comprise 13,124 acres
producing u gross rental of £2961 12s S4d. The great
er portion of these lands are held by the present
owner in fee simple, a small portion only bci ug sub
ject to nominal head rents.
A gentleman, who is journeying in Ireland on busi
ness, and who ia commercially interested in form
ing an accurate judgment as to tho probable yield of the
crops, has written to the house with which he is
connected, stating that the grain everywhere looks
well and that potatoes, with very' few an d trifling
exceptions, wear a healthy and vigorous appearance.
incumbered Estates in Ireland.—On Tuesdays
Parliamentary paper was issued, containing some
observations by the Commissioners upon the subjec-
of their distribution of the funds arising from tho
sale of incumbered estates in Ireland and the trans
fer of any part thereof into the Court of Chancery,
it appears that the Commissioners h&ve sold more
than ualfla-milUoa’s worth, of property, and of that
sum they hope to distribute the entire in their court
with the exception, of .£25,000, which may be trans
ferred to the Court of Chancery. About £100,000
has been already distributed, Tho Commissioners
hops, without any assistance from any other court,
to distribute £200,000 before vacation, and £200,000
more in the month of Ootober; they add that “there
is no part of their practice which gives the public
such satisfaction as the readiness with which pay
ments are made when the. rights of parties are cor
rectly ascertained.’ ’ >
Ho Fon the Gold Region! We would direct
the attention of our rcuders to tho advertisement in
nnotlicr column of the Steam propeller Commodore
Stockston, which if sufficient encouragement is offer
ed will suil from Charleston for California on the 15th
of September. It will be seen that it is proposed to
take a limited number of slaves. The voyage has
been projected by several Southern gentlemen of
standing and character, and we huve seen aprivate let
ter by which we learn that several sluves are already
entered for tho expedition. The opportunity it a
favorable one for those who desire to test the practi
cability ot mining with slaves in the United States
territory in California. There is little doubt that
a good, able hand would pay for himself and the ex
penses of his passage by one year's labor in the mines
tw A negro was arrested and committed to tli e
Guard House on Tuesday night,on whose person was
fonril the key of the sture in which he is employed-
That frequent robberies are committed by negroes who
obtain, or are entrusted with the keys of tile stores of
their employers, there can be no doubt. Our citizens
should be more cautions. They should pay some
attention to their' own premises, and not rely wholly
on the protection of the city watch, the small num
ber of whom renders it impossible for them to
guard against the designs of those who are disposed
to rob.
A Nobleman Indeed. A private letter from Eng
land to a friend, says: The Duke of Bedford has
contributed most nobly to tho State, by buildings
quantity of cottages for the working classes of Tavi
stock. Health, comfort and cheapness are hereby
combined. A cottage of five rooms, with garden,
piggery, conrtlage and conveniences, for £3 10 per
year. An address from the men inhabiting them, has
been presented to the Duke, to which he made a suit
able reply, reiterating the maxim— 11 that if propdfcr
had its rights, it also had its duties,” and reminimig
tho tenants that they could not better show their grat
itude for his bounty, than by taking care of the pro

Fires and Riots in the. Cities. In Baltimore on
Sunday last, there were six fires—rows not recorded-
In Philadelphia, as usual, several fires and a fight, in
which one man was shot dead on the spot.
(North and South.—“The increase ot manufac.
tures in the South will be felt heavily this season in
the North, as a large portion of their usual demand
is cut off.” Thus says the New York Tribune of the
7th instant. We hope there will be a continued "in
crease of manufactures in the Soutji,” not that the
North may prosper less, but that theSouth may pros-
or more; not that the North may bo injured, but that
the South may more nearly approach a position of
true independence, which can only be reached by
progress in the industrial arts, a diversity of products,
and a diversity of employments for her population,
and increased self-reliance and increased energy nnd
enterprise, devoted to the development of her rich
resources.
Chattanooga and Nashville Railroad.—A-
bout three hundred Irish laborers arrived at Chatta
nooga on Thursday laat, to work on the "Chattanooga
and Nashville Railroad." They commenced their la
bors about two miles from the former place, where
the Tennessee River washes the base of the Look Out
Mountain, around which it is necessary to carry the
Road. At thia place, for nearly a mile, the termination
of the Mountain on the River is n perpendicular wall
of rock, about six hundred feet iif height. Along the
base of this, an immense wall is to be built—much of
which will have its foundation in the bed of the River,
and be carried to such a height as to be above all fresh
ets and dangers from high water. This work is quite
practicable, although a very heavy job. Within a
mile, this Mountain is 2,200 feet in height; and wo
venture to say, that there is no p'ace on any Rail
road in this Union that can present a scene of equal
grandeur and sublimity. The suction, which it is said
draws so many travellers through our State Road Tun
nel, will not lose its momentum hereafter, until they,
arrive at this point—Macon Messenger.
Division of the South. The following extract
from the concluding portion of the late speech of
Hon. David Hubbard, of Ala., in Congress, contains
truths sensibly and forcibly expressed.
Before 1 conclude. I wish to speak a word to south
ern members, and through them to the southern
people, upon the subject of our own misconduct;
arising from our jeulousies nndrivaiships among one
another. It is our own divisions which have ena
bled the northern section of the Union to encroach
upon the rights oi our constituents. And our conduct
here for tho last ten years reminds me of an incident
reported in Eistory, where England was trying to re
duce Scotland to submission by arms. Sir Wil
liam Wallace was the patriotic leader of the Scots,
and England, like our Northern opposers, had
seduced many of the Scottish leaders into her
armies, Robert Bruce among others. In these
contests, it is related that one day, after a hard
fought battle, Bruce sat down to his meal with
the English nobles, with his hands all besmear
ed with the blood of his own count, ymen slain in the
battle; upon seeing which, a haughty English earl
could not conceal his disgust. "Look,” said he, "a
that Scot; see how he eats his own blood." This in
sulting taunt, although true, cut Bruce to the heart.
He could not eat another morsel, but quietly rose
from tho table without uttering a word. That night
Bruce joined the standard of his countrymen; and
never rested or Blept quietly until every hostile loot
had been driven far beyond the- "Scottish bo’-.r.' 1
I, air, never hear a southern man speak against
his section of country, or read a southern paper op
posed to us, but I think that some cool, calculating
northerner, like the English nobleman, is expressing
his disgust “for the fellow who eats his own blood."
When will every true-hearted southerner like
Bruce, leave the camp of the oppressor, and join the
standard of bis own country I Until then, the north
will neither regard onr right) nor respect our lee?

A New Planing Machine.—Mr. JohnG. Bertholf,
has in operation at the Hamilton Works, Newark, N.
J„ a newly invented.machine for planing wood mould
ings ; which is said to he more simple in its construe ■
tion than any yet invented. The Doom occupied by
it is but a few feet square, and the whole machine is
readily managed by one hand It i« capable of turn,-
ing w.ood mouldings to any desired shape, not over
5 inches wide, and 2J inches thick. Machines here
tofore in use for the same purpose, havebeen unwield-
iy in their construction, requiring, several hands to
put them in motion, and the product of their labor in
a given period, is much smaller than by this. Mr. d.
is. the proprietor of the right ol that Stute.
Cotton Crop in Alabama.—The Mobile Tribune
of the 18th inst., says: During the current week we
have had frequent—once or twice heavy rains—but
we are not advised whether they have extended into
the cotton- districts. If they have, wo may expect
soon to hear complaints of too much rain, especially
on- prairie and other stiff' lands. Our own impres
sion, however, is that the state of the weather
since about the 20t>h June, has been altogether as fa.
varuble os could be expected, and that consequently,
on tho sandy bottoms and uplands, we look for a fair
yield for a late crop, while on the prairie nnd other
stiff lands, where the stand) are generally bad, the
turn out must be indifferent.
A Question of Decency. Shocked at the per
formances at Saratoga, one or two editors at that
place have denounced the Waltz ns an indecent and li_
cencious dance, and it is noUmnreliable that the con.
troversy on thia important subject may be renewed.
Blackwood, whose opinion is generally worth heed
ing, has some remarks pertinent to the occasion. Old
Kit North says:
"For a man to be fond of shuffling and twirling
himself out of the dignity of steps which nature gave
him, picking his way like a gose upon red-hot bricks,
or gyrating like a had tee totum, in what English fash
ionables call a " valse”—I never see a man thus occu
pied without a fervent desire to kick him.”
Lgi” Bishop Andrew, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, arrived in Alexandria on Friday lost,

held in the neighborhood of Salem, Fauquier coun

the laying of the corner-stone of the new church,
in Alexandria, on the 12th. of September.
Protesting in the Senate. During the debate
in tho Senate on receiving the protest of the South
erners against the California bi 11, a fact of some im
portance was stated on the authority of a letter from
Mr. Madison, viz: that a proposition was made in
the federal convention to give the Senate the power
of a protest, and it was rejected.
What’s the Exigency?—It is stated in the Union
that Mr. Kaufman, one of the representatives of Tex
as, who, from ill health, had gone to the springs in
the vicinity of Winchester, Virginia, has been tele
graphed tor, if his health will permit his return.

Silveh Mine in Kentucky. The Knoxville
Register of the 15 th inst. say) :—We understand that
specimens of silver ore found near the Cumberland
Falls, in Kentucky, were exhibited a few days since
in our city by Mr. Lewis Renfro, of that state. We
also learn that the qualities of this ore have been test
ed by a skillful assayer who certifies that the yield is
sufficiently large to afford a profitable investment to
those who may embark in the business, A speci
men of the precious metal produced from this ore,
was submitted to Mr. Samuel Bell, of this city, who
pronounces it pure silver. We understand that the
vein of this ore extends to a distance of a quarter Of
a mile, and iB ten feet in depth, and that it’ia supposed
to be inexhaustible. We trust that those concerned
in this enterprise wiii realise a handsome profit on
their investment.
How th® Boll Wokm is Destroyed.—The
Planters of Mississippi, have discovered a means of
destroying, the Uy which is said to produce the Boll
worm, so destructive to cotton, which they are prac
tising with-the most satisfactory results.
The method consists in placing throughout the
field, at regular intervals, numbers of plates filled with
molasses, which act as traps for the flies. The plates
should be- set upon stakes, about as high as the top of
the plant, nnd the molasses should be mixed with
vinegar, to produce fermentation; and thereby diffuse
the odor. The dishes should be set in the evening.
Some of the planters in Green county, have caught
several thousand-flies in a single night.
The editor of the Abberdecn Independent, who has
visited the eotton fields in his vicinity, speaking of the
plan,says:
We saw the plates of molasses and vinegar, and
saw numbers of these millers or flies in them. The
experiment seems to be entirely successful, and we
recommend it to all our planting friends for trial
forthwith. The molasses and vinegar are mixed so
as to be of a thick consistency, nnd. the plates placed
in tlia ratio of one to 2 or three acres.
Bishop Ondebuonk.—Tho editor of the Protest
ant Churchman, in New York, has several signifi
cant rumors, among which are these two: Some of
the old clergy of the city, tired of the "anomalous
position of the Diocese,” wish to frame "a compro
mise or omnibus,” palatable to the minority ; and
that Bishop Gnderdouk purposes to send in his resig
nation to tlie New York Convention, coupled with
the condition that Dr. — be appointed his successor.
