The Northern Mail.—The steamer (Jen. Clinch, due on Saturday night, and the Melamora, due hint ' evening, hud not arrived at 11 o’clock luat night. O'* Tlie Telegraphic wires between tills city and Charleston, have not been in operation since Hutur- dny noon ; probably broken by the gale. Rise in the Savannah River.—A despatch re ceived from Augusta on Saturday morning states that tho river at that place had risen npwurds of four feet, and was still rising. This will enable our steam ers to reach Augusta without difficulty, and the large quantity of freight dnily landed on our wharves lor the interior, will meet with “quick despatch." Cdttinu Rice.—We learn that it is the intention of several planters to commence the cutting of Rice on the Ogeecheo River to-day. The accounts of tile crops arc very promising, uud it is said the yield will lie large. [We iiad quite a sovore blow on Saturday. It commenced enrly in the morning, and continued un til evening. Between 4 und & o’clock it blew a per fect hurricane, prostrating several large trees in the city; there was also ulieavy lull of rain. The rice on the neighboring plantations fullered considerably, in South Carolina the wind was higher than in this city, und wo h'aru that on several plantations tile entire crops of rice were prostrated. Cigars as is Cioars.—Wo received on Saturday a present of a box of fragrant Havana's. As our friend is not the sort of annul to stund a puli’, we must content ourself with pulling his cigars. JTIm; Macon Muss .Meeting nod tlie Georgia Citizen, Tho Western Mull lust night brought us nothing from Mncon nor from any other point except Augus- tu. We nro assured, however, by a gentleman who canio passenger on the cars, that the articles in the Macon Georgia Citizen, anil tho Republican, of this city, grossly misrepresent tho true character of the meeting. Our informant states that 3000 to 5000 per sons were present, mid that notwithstanding tho en thusiasm of the people in support of the rights of the South, the proceedings were characterized by mod eration and tho strictest decorum, 'flic Resolutions adopted by the meeting will he found in another col umn. Much excitement prevailed, in Macon, in conse quence of the violent and abusive articles which hail appeared in the Georgia Citizen, to one of which we alluded ill oitr paper of Saturday. A meeting of citi ■ zens,without distinction of party, was hold, and a committee of thirteen appointed to wait on the edi tor, Mr. I,. F. W. Andrews, mid demand of him the author ol’ono of the articles, and to notify him to dis continue his paper. During the conference of the committee with Andrews, u hu ge concourse of per sons assembled round his house, who would, in ell probability imve subjected him to Lynch law, hail it not been for tho timely interference of. Dr. Collins in behalf of tire family of the editor. On being as sured by Dr. C., that Mr. Andrews had promised to discontinue his paper, and leave the city within ten days, tho crowd consented to disperse. Our inform ant states that the people are resolved that tho paper, which lins so grossly assailed their feelings and mis represented them, shall not be again issued in that city. Accidental Death.—Mr. Lucius Oglevie, of Lexington. Geo., wus killed by tho accidental dis charge oi a gun on tho 17th inst- In company with his brother and a young friend, he was lenving the house oi CoL W. J.

The American Steamship Atlantic arrived at Liver pool at mldnigh t on Tuesday, tho 6th inst. Her run ning-time from dock to dock is stated at ten days, eight hours and twenty minutes, thus beating all pre vioiis trips across tho Atlantic by several hours.

Our paper to day contains the advertisement of tlie steamer Commodore Stockton, which is shortly to sail from Charleston for California, nnd which is to take out os passengers a number of ,Southern gentlemen with their slaves. It will he seen by tho following extracts that tlie plun of establishing a slave colony in California, with u view to work tlie gold mines oi that country, is seriously entertained, by men of char acter and influence. The scheme is on an ex tensive scale, and offers a favorable opportunity to those who wisli to emigrate with their salves to the gold region. We are assured on good authority -thut tlie asso ciation will he formidable in numbers nnd influence. If there be nny way in which the Southern people can assert and practically test their right to a joint parti cipation in tlie public domain, nnd mineral wealth of California, this is it. In this way we may testnon-in- tervention, as well as the practicability of employing slave labor in tlie mines. We are told that where slave labor cau bo profitably employed, there it will go, and it is hinted thut a considerable portion of tho people of California, having becomo convinced of its great advantages in that country .desire its introduc tion. If this he true the proposed plan will fittest the fact. The inducements to muke tlie venture are very great, nnd tlie presont is u fuvoruhie- opportunity for those who desire to participate in tlie enterprise. Tho Mississippian, in relation to tlie proposed slave colony in California, says: "The elements of this slave colony are in existence, we have hud tlie opportunity of personally knowing tlie tact, and can say til at it is comprised of citizens of several .Southern states—some of whom are well known in tlie Union. Letters have passed tlirim-'h our liunds only this pust week from citizens of Geor gia, Alabama, and Virginia, in each of which propo sitions are made to join the colony with slaves, Tnis colony receives the countenance of some of the first citizens of Mississippi. Tlie interest felt.ia universal and is not: extraordinary. Tlie idea is not visional y. “ Letters reached us from California, stating that slave lubor at the mines is worth ten dollars per day. A slave can at least secure that amount to his mas ter. After the placer mines shall be exhausted, and even now, the gold in the rocks, which is the origi nal source of all the deposits in tho rivers, cannot be profitably obtained but by slave labor. Then again, tho valleys to be cultivated, require irrigation wjfieh is another profitable sphere for the employ ment of our slaves. Tlius, then, in tlie only two pursuits now known in California, slave labor 13 a more profitable investment than in the United States. “ Justified by tlie constitution, and rendered expe dient from its violation by others, the Colony will ho formed in California, we reiterate, if the country is nut stolen from us by tlie uction of Congress. A grosser outrage 011 tlie South could not he perpetra ted in view of tlie intense anxiety of our people to go there witli their property. L-1 it he understood, and pondered upon, that five thousand slaves will he sunt to California before the expiration of this yeur, if the odidus measure now before Congress, to admit Cali fornia with territory enough for a dozen States, can be, as it ought to be, repudiated by Congress. We look upon the present movement with feel ings of intense interest. Hero is our only audlast hope of being participators in tlie golden harvests of Culitornia lor which southern blood lias been spilled so profusely ; nnd shall wo luse it ? Tlie value of our slaves at homo would increase one hundred per cent. There is not a planter in Mississippi, who has a single negro, that will not feel the effects of this slave imigration by an addition oi' at least four hun dred dollars to tho value of that slave. A slave in California is now worth five thousand dollar's ? Such is the deep pecuniary interest that may now he sacri ficed by the admission of California. Take that away from the South, nnd besides placing us at tho mercy of the North by tile increase of free soil States, and nearly all that wo have won from Mexico, save na tional honor, is forever lost to us.” The Calamity at Lynnfield.—The lute terrible calamity at Lynnfield, Mass., by which thirteen per sons were drowned, hus spread a general and heart felt consternation through that village. The bodies have all been recovered. A correspondent of the Tribune gives tlie following sad particulars : A Mrs. Garland lost two benutful children, one of 8 years and tho other nil infant—while she was barely saved by a man's seizing her by tlie hair of the head, and dragging her upon tile upset bout—she is now de lirious. Her husband was cm shore, hut came out in a bonttoo late to save his beloved children. The lath er und inotb-r are now in nil agony of sorrow, having hut one eurvi i ing child. Two years ago they were be reft of three darling children by tlie fatal scarlet fever, uud now again their house is indeed left unto them desolate. One young lad succeeded in tearing oft' his clothes anil swimming ashore. A Mr. Hainan (whose wife null chilli were both drowned before his own eyes, lie being on shore and utterly unable to help them,) became frantic, running to mid fro, tearing up tho earth in his agony. IIo is now a raving maniac. Ou Friday the bodies were sent to tlie houses oi' their afflicted friends: two beautiful sisters (the Misses Brown) to one house, n lovely daughter unil infant child to another, a youngmoried couple to another, a young lady to another,'und so on, making an exhibi tion ot solemnity and bereavement never before wit nessed in our vicinity. Four bodies have been sent out of town—one, that of a ynuii£ lady, « Miss. Ad- •ams, from Boston, who came down to spend a few days with her friends in Lynn. On Saturday the last sad rites were paid to the dead. An accident of a somewhat similar character oc curred near Boston, on Friday the 16th inst. A par ty of five persons, consisting of Capt. Samuel Ful ler and ills son, of Rockport, Mr. Greig, and a lad named Inglis, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Francis E. De Biois, of Boston, went on a fishing excursion and are supposed tohaveboraaH drowned by the capsizing of the boat ina squall The bodies of Capt. Fuller mid Mr. Greig have been recovered, also tlie jacket oi De Biois. Aid to Professor Webster's Family.—A paper lias been circulated, during tho past week, among tlie more wealthy of our citizens, to raise the sum of $20,000, to be given to tho wife nnd children of Prolessor Webster, to provide for them, and place them above want during life. The paper is headed by Mrs Geo. Parkman, wife of tho murdered man, with tho smn of $500. The subscriptions have already nearly, it not quite, reached tile proposed amount. Mr.’An drews, the jailer, says that Dr. Webster, in his opin ion, will hold out firm to the last—that lie has not eat en eo heartily for some time past. His family visited him during last week and remained witli him until 6 o’clock. They are not aware of the exact time of ex ecution, but know tho day to be fixed. No persons are allowed to visit him, except his family, and cler gymen, lor spiritual purposes.—Boston Mail, The Philadelphia Muuiier. Speaking of the late murder and robbery in Philadelphia the Bulletin enys: ✓ The robbery nnd munlor of Mr. Charles Burr, watchmaker, last evening, presents to tlie startled minds of tho people ot Philadelphia, a crimo unpar alleled for boldness and nttrociousness by anything of tlie kind that has ever occurred in their midst, if in deed, in tlie whole country. The weapon used by tho murderer who inflicted the fatal stab must have Bern « powerful dagger, and the villain who drove it home a monster of Herculean strength. The solid hone of the sternum was penetrated, and tlie heart witli its pericardium completely transfixed, through tlie right ventricle and right* auricle. Tho hemorrhage was internal, and the chest tilled with blood. The weapon was withdrawn lrom the wound, without tlie smallest particle even of the point (us far as could lie discovered by the post mortem examina- tlunj'hcilig broken off. It is a subject of deep regret that tlie murderers should have escaped, and it is to lie hoped that some thing may yet turn up to bring them to justice. The domestic relations of tlie murdered man make the circumstances attending his assassination truly awful and heart-rending. We conversed, last night, witli the person who broke the nows to his wile. She had been married only eleven months, and has just recovered from her first occouchment: Comfortably und handsomely situated in iismaU house in Kensing ton. she was happy. Having rocked her baby to sleep, she had prepared tlie evening meal tor her hus band, and was standing in tlie door, waiting his com ing. Alas? what heart does not bleed to tliiuk of her overwhelming grief! Female Medical Colleoe, Phila. This Insti tution, witli six professorships for tho instruction of women in medicine, surgery and chemistry, has been established by an Act of tlie Legislature of Penn sylvania, and will hold its first session iu October next in the city of Philadelphia. Mnil Stonmci'H for Africa, We noticed a few days since tlie receipt of a pam- p*hlet copy of tho report of the Naval Committee of the House of Representatives in,favor of the estab lishment of a line of mail steamers to the Western const of Africa. The subject is one which is attract ing considerable attention throughout the country and will probably be acted on at the present session of Congress, should thot body be so fortunate ns to dispose of tlie important questions now before it. Thu report of the committee is highly fuvoruhie to the proposed plan, which emanates from a number of gentlemen in various parts of the Union, who have associated themselves for tlie purpose, and have, by memorial to Congress, asked for the conn- teunnee and assistance ot tlie government of tho U. .States. The report recommends tlie acceptance of the proposals of tlie memorialists, with some modifi cations. The plan thus modified will be us follows: The proposed line is to consist of three ships, which shall muke trips to Liberia monthly. One ship is to leave New York every three months, touching at .Savannah for freight uml mails; one to leave Baltimore every third month, touching at Nor folk and Charleston for passengers, freight and mails —and one to leave New Orleans every third month, with liberty to touch at any of the West India Is lands. Their course will be to Liberia, with liberty to touch at any islands or ports on the coast of Af ricn. Tho return trips are to be circuitous, first to Gib raltar, carrying the Mediterranean mails, thence to some Spanish port, to be designated by the govern ment, probably Cadiz—thence, touching at Lisbon, (1’ortugul,) or Brest or some other French port, to London—bringing mails from all those points to tho United States. The details, as modified by tlie committee, require each ship to be not less than four thousand tons bur den, and to cost not less than nine hundred thousand dollars, of which the Government is to advance two- thirds ina five per cent, stock, redeemable at the end of thirty years, which is to he repaid by the coi-irae- tors, in equal anuuul instalments, beginingand ending with the service. The ships are to he built so us to he convertible at the least possible expense into war steamers oi' the first class, and to be kept in repair, and with all necessary improvements and alterations to keep them lit for that service. Each ship is to be commanded by an officer of the U. S. Navy, aided by four pussed midshipmen ns watch officers, to bo pro vided for and paid by tlie contractors. Tlie Government reserves the right of control, and tlie liberty to take tho ships, or either of them, in time of war, paying their appraised value not exceeding tho original cost. Two of the said ships are to bo finished and ready for sea ill two and a half years from the signing of the contract, and tlie third within three years. 'Tile Government agrees to pay forty thousand dollars as compensation for services for every trip, nnd the contract is to continue tor fifteen year s from tho time of the completion of all the ships. _ The contractors stipulate to carry and deliver tlie, mails ; and agree further to curry on each and every voyage they make so many emigrants, being persons of color, not exceeding 2,500, ns the American Colo nization .Society shall direct, tho society paying ten dollars per head for each one over twelve years of age, und five dollars per head for all under twelve years—the sum to includo transportations of bag gage nnd also supplies of suilors’ rations. The Colo nization Society now pny not less than thirty dollars a head. The committee argue at considerable length to show that tlie project is a safe and profitable one in a commercial sense, and that there is ample security for the repayment of the advances by the Govern ment. The real question, however, (remarks tlie N. O. Picayune) is whether there are public objects suf ficient to justify the advedture—for it is one—inde pendently of the commercial security of the invest ment. The committee do not disguise that the pro motion of the exportation and colonization of free blacks is one oi their leading motives—but there are a large class of objections to the direct exercise of any such power by Congress, as that of pla ng col onies out of the limits of tlie United States. The main ground is therefore put forth thut this is a measure in consonance with tlie established policy of the country, which lias for its object the creation of a powerful steam navy, to be used in time of peace in carrying mails, nnd convertible in time of war into armed vessels of great power. In that point of view it will receive a support which it would have no right to expect considered as an enterprize under taken to promote directly the colonization of Liberia. The writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin, alluding to the commercial advantages which would be likely to result from the establishment of steam communi cation with Africa, remarks: Great Britain conducts a traffic with Africa valued at $28,000,000 per annum, while we, witli a com merce not worth that many thousands, are compell ed to keep up 11 naval force upon tlie Western Const partly to protect this British commerce, and at the same time, shield our National character Horn a cer tain species of dishonor. With tlie facilities we pos- sess, and superior advantages from our local posi tion, why should we not enter into competition for this tralice, which in a lew years, owing to the col onics und republics annually springing up, niurt ul timately prove of immense value, and bo conducted in exchange ior our manufactures of cotton, tha* noware obtained lrom British looms. Our entire commerce with Africa in 18411, was as follows: Domestic exports -..$676,769 Foreign do 31,642' Total exports $708,411 Imports 495,74-J Total exports and imports $1,204 153 England, as 1 have said, exports to aiid'iniports nc “ merchandise, &e., to the amount of $28,- 000,000 and tins shows the importance of attaching the colonies of tlie western coast to our trade I’-SJPt. Pi‘or to the downfall of that empire, concen trated within the vnilies of the Nile, the most, if not tlie only, commerce of Wat vast continent; but mod ern research lias satisfied us that westward—pursu mg the undeviating law of political destiny-tlie star oi African glory wends its way. Liberia may vet become the lhcbas ot modern times, and number not her hundred brazen gates for the egress of ar mies, hut navies for the supply of the world, and America her treasure-house. Life in Philadelphia. A Philadelphia letter dated Aug. 19th., says— Our criminal calendar is again stained with Wood, resulting from tho indiscriminate use of fire-arms by tlie Mqyameusing rowdies iu settling their feuds and wreaking their vengeance upon tlie unfortunate co lored population. Two of this class, Henry Ray mond and Samuel Williams, were at Eighth nnd South streets on Sunday morning, about one o’clock, when a carbine was tiled upon them from a gang ot firemen on too county side ot South street. The shot was aimed at Raymond, hut hit an on- fortunate Swiss, named Arnestoust, who, in company with two countrymen, E. Dubois and C. Cirvolssier was crossing the street at the time. Two bails struck him, one ot which, passing through his heart, caus ed immediate death. . , ,. -Philadelphia. -Aug. 19—9, p, M. Another Cold-Blooded Murder—Highway Robberti.

New York, August 19. There is little or nothing of an exciting nature in tlie city at present. Commerce may be said to have opened her day-book, and the wholesale houses down town are full of business. Iam told that rarely has there been a larger number of buyers in the market at one time. A great many are from far West, and are obliged to come early in the full iu order to re. cuivc their goods in good season, for in some instances they are three months on the road. The prospect of a great fall business is very promising, and everybo dy is 1 joking forward to “ a good time.” It ih net true thut the Count de Alcoy arrived in the Pizznro. Tin: Countess, two children, nn officer of rank who accompanies her, and attendants, came in her, and I believe they have ulready left fur tlie East, on their way to Europe, where tlie Count is to join them. They remained strictly private during their stuy in tlie city. The Sun who is bitterly opposed to everything Cuba-ish, hail on the bulletin bonrd, under the head of “ distinguished arrivals,” on Fri day, 11 Count de Alcoy, from Havana, and John Smith, from Saratoga." if meant as ridicule, it was a lam entable failure, for it lacked one very essential quali ty—wit. ’ A mysterious case of inveiglement is under investi gation, in which a very pretty, lady-liko womun, nam ed Mary Jane Starr, is charged witli bamboozling ail eli’erly married gentleman, named Ira Topping, and tlie father of a grown up family, out of consider able sums of money, and finally out of his real estate worth some $20,099 or $30,000. The creature actu ally took possession of tlie house in which Topping lived, turning them into the street. Now how this was managed, ia the mystery. Mr. T. must either be a very nervous or a very wicked man, or both; for thut tlie woman exercised an extraordinary influence over him, is very clear, but it has not been stated, in what way it was obtained. The truth, however, must come out in a public examination, and then I pre sume there will be some fun. An elderly gentiemun named Boyd, is mixed up with the affair—he is a lawyer, and clerk in tile Supreme Court; but lie in sists tliut he merely acted as adviser to the female, in obtaining her rights. It is a queer story, and there is much more in it than meets the eye at present. The number of arrivals at this port last week was over five thousand. It is gratifying to know, howev er, that laborers ure iu greut demand, and that able bodied men may resort to some employment imme diately. I understand that Garabnldi has been deterred from encouraging any public demonstration, by threats, that having rendered himself unpopular with the Roman Catholics here, by liis conduct iu Rome some disturbance might take place. 1 suspect thut Bishop Hughes is at the bottom of tills, as you will re member that Garibaldi’s object was to separate tlie temporal from the spiritual office of the Pope. If this be true, it is much to be regretted; because, the very idea that such a thing could take place, is repugnunt to that freedom of opinion, of which we boast. While 011 this subject I may mention another rumor, tliata row is expected to takeplaceon the 20th September, between tlie order of the United Ameri cans, and the Irish. It seems tiint the notorious Ned Buntline, will have suffered a twelve months’ im prisonment on Blackwell’s Island on that day, for his participation in the bloody affair at tile Astor Place Opera House, and will then be discharged. He is a member of this order, and in the filthy sheet he owns, is continually striving to incrOnse the ill-feeling to wards tlie Irish population. Well the l nited Ameri cans have resolved to meet the fellow on liis landing ii om tlie Island and escort him in triumph to the city anil the Irish, they do say, will take measures to shew their detestation of the man, anil the association at the same time. There must be a collision be tween these parties sooner or later without doubt; and when it does take place, there will be sanguinary work. The Police are two-thirds Irishmen, and they could not be depended upon at such a crisis, and If the military be called out, only one result need bo an ticipated. If the O. U. A. carry out their intehtions witli regard to this Buntlinc, it will be nn outrage, and an insult to the community and should be mark ed with unmistakable condemnation. The great trade sales will commence on Wednes day next. Cooley and Keese have a most extensive cattalogue ; the largest it is said ever submitted to the trade. The city is still very healthy ; the mortality being confined in a great measure to children. We have no cholera and no signs of it at present. Tlie num ber of deaths last week was 407, and of these 337 were children and youths. The Hunkers, as I supposed, carried the day at the primary election; but I never saw such an illustration ot the ireedom oi the ballot-liox. The democrats are destined to be without tlie loaves and fishes for some time to come, I presume. The tailors are very quiet at present; all but ten of the rioters have been liberated on bail. I dont hear any more about tliut public demonstration of the trades. The result of tho last battle has struck terror to their souls. CHARLEMAC. The Macon Maas Meeting. The following are the resolutions passed by ac clamation ut the Mass Meeting held in Macon 011 Thursday last. Resolved, That wo approve the Resolutions nnd Address of file Nashville Convention, and recom mend them to the cordial support of the people of Georgia. * 1 Resolved, That in recommending the pooplo of Georgia to acquiesce iu the application of tlie Mis souri Compromise line of 36° 30’ to the Territories of the United -States, with a recognition of slavery South ot that! we propose the acquiescence for the sake ol tlie peace of tlie country, and the preser vation of the Union. Resolved, That itis the Constitutional right of the citizen to be protected in the enjoyment, in the pub lic Territory, of any property which, by the laws of the State, of which he is ,111 inhabitant, he is author ized to own ; and to withhold from him this protec tion, is to debar him of a Constitutional right. Resolved, That the admission of California into the Union, witli her pretended organization, will ho the sanction of the most unjustifiable aggressions oi in truders upon tlie public Territory, on tlie rights of fifteen sovereign States of this Union. Resolved, That the Territorial policy of a majority of the tw i Houses of Congress, is to prevent, forever tlie admission of another slave State into the Union,’ subvert tin: rights of the South in the public Terri tories, and eventually to abolish slnvery in the States- thus converting a Government which was estab lished ior tlie protection of all, into nn enrine of at tack and spoliation of a portion of its members. Resolved, That we invite those who meditate’these aggressions to pause before they perpetrate a wren" which they cannot remedy, nnd to wh eh .a people having the spirt of treemen will never submit. Resolved, That should the event occur in which it shall become the duty of the Governor, under the direction oi tlie last Legislature, to call a convention id tile people of Georgia, to consider o” the neces sary’ measures of safety to the State, itis the opinion ot the meeting tliut our Senators and .Representa tives in Congress should immediately return to their Slate, and unite with their constituents in consulta tion and action on such measures.
