SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS....’..FRIDAY, AUGUST, 23, 185jj. Brldny Morning, August ‘-*3, 1H5Q. (Correspondence of tho Baltimore Sun.) Washington, Aug. 18, 1850. 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. Important from Washington. Baltimore, Aug. 20.

The vote in every instance being—yeas eleven, nays twenty-eight In tlse United States House of Representatives, on the same day, a motion to take up tho Utah, Califor nia, New Mexico and Texas Boundary Bills, was re- rejected—the vote being ninety eight ayes to ninety- eight nays ; a majority of two-thirds in the affirma tive being necessary for the success of such a motion.

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 at has commenced, and it will become ral before tho middle of August—There pcarauces of an earlier us well as an est, including all kinds of crops; for (he injury to wheat is partial, and tho 1 it likely to approach un average, 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 perty- 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? ings.

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, on his way to a southern camp-meeting, now bei ng held in the neighborhood of Salem, Fauquier coun ty, Vu. It is expected the bishop will be present at 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.

The Marietta Helicon says: “That Coloncy Brooks, censuo taker for this county, informs us that the population of Marietta consists of 1160 whites, nnd 650 blacks; making i»all, 1800.” 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.
