The Jasper hod not arrived last night when our post office closed. Tssmttwoovs Galk in this Intkhior .— Wo learn from a gentleman who arrived last evening by the cars from Macon, that the gnVe which passed over tair city on Saturday, extended to the interior of the .State, and that it was very destructive hi its effects upon the cotton nnd corn crops. In Griffin it was very severe, prostrating trees, fences and the crops in the neighborhood. In the districts heard from, the corn has all be ’n blown down. On some of the piaatatioua the cotton has been whipped to pieces, and the hard rain has beat it into the earth, complete ly mining the prospects of the planter. Between Parry and Macon, a distance of about 22 miles, the tpnil stage was compelled to cut its way through the trees which had been blown across the road. Tim wind commenced blowing on Friday night, and on Saturday moruiug, from 7 to 12 o’clock, it blew a perfect hurricane, from all ejuarters of the compass. It is believed to have lieen the severest gale experienced in this Stale for a number of years, and tho destruction to the growing crops, it is feared, has been immense. At Augusta, a large number of treea were prostrated, and the river rose very rnpidly. The Tennessee and Alabama papers brought by the Western mail last night have the appearance of having been submerged, by which we in lei that the watercourses in tho up country have been much swollen by the heavy fall of rain accompanying the gale, which teems to have prevailed over a vast extent of country. RrsB in the Savannah Riveb at Augusta.—A private dispatch received yesterday forenoon, states that the river at Augusta, hud risen 23 feetJ) inches, up to 11 o’clock on Saturday morning, and was still rising. It is thought that the dry state of the swamps will absorb this body of water lieforo it reaches the vicinity of our rice plantations, and that little danger need bo apprehended from the freshet We are indebted to a friend for a copy of a pamphlet entitled, “ I-ocuJ Events and Incidents at Home,” a very ngrecnhlo trio of sketches by Dr. J. B- Living, of Charleston. A .Fishing' Excursion, in which the capture of a shark is narrated, ami a full description of tho Moultrie House, on Sullivan's Island, are among the contents The Dr. is a grace ful writer and imparts an iutercst to the ininutin of detail, while his descriptions of incidents are graphic and pleasing. The Art of Ailrertising. The committee appointed by Sir. V. B. Palmer, to decide the award of a silver cup to the writer of tho host essay upon the subject of advertising, have, as we see by the last number of tho Register, made their re port. The committee consisted of Messrs. George R. Graham, of “Graham's Magazine,'' William M. Swain, of the'Tubllc hedger," and George H. Hart, President of the “Philadelphia and Wilkesbarre Telegraph Company," and the prize has been awarded to Ho race Greeley, Esq., of tho New York Tribune. Tho cup wiil cost $100, utid will be covered with elegant designs, relating to commerce aud trade. We make the following extract from the prize essay: The merchant, therefore, who aims to succeed in business, must aim at these two points—lirst, to be, sure that he can satisfy a wide demand for the arti cles lie deals in, on the lowest practicable terms; se condly, that every body within the proper scope of his business is made aware of his ability and confi dent of bis disposition to do so. These points at tained, he has only to do his business properly, as it comes in upon him, aud his fortune is made. To the merchant or dealer who is sure of his abil ity to fill orders ou the most favorable terms, the at taiimieut of un adequate publicity is a matter of pri mary concern. If his circle of trade is properly tho county in which ho lives, then he should take ef fectual measures to let every family in that county hnowKhat he sells, andanwhat condition. It is idle The I republican nnd Harwell’. That Yte.pnblir.an, of yesterday morning does not even attempt to answer our article of .Saturday* Our cotempornry contept# himself with reprinting hm former extracts from our paper, to prove (what wc have already twice admitted nnd explained,) that we did at one time favor the Senatorial Compromise; adds another to show that wo had reprehended ultra- ism aud buneombism, suil concludes his article with a reiteration of his story about that marvellous 1* t encli- man, whose apparition seems to haunt his mind- tie are free to admit that the edtto r very successfully ac complishes all He undertakes in his last article, but we must confess that we are unable to discover a single point in which he has controverted ou r argument, or in which he has justified his own course on the ques tion now agitating the country. A ,3 be does not an swer one of the charges which we have preferred against him, we are constrained to take his silouce for assent to their justness, and to consider liis arti cle in the light of a tacit surrender of the question at issue between us. We are encouraged to believe that our cotompora- ry has upon reflection been led to see the error into which he has fallen, anil that, divesting himself of tho prejudices which he had permitted to bias his better judgment, he is beginning to view the great section al question of the day, in which the most vital inter ests of the South are involved, in its true light. We believe that he begins to see that it is here, as at. the North, no party question, and that loyalty to the South demands that it should here, us there, he bold above party considerations and influences. He sees that many of the ablest and best men of hi3 own par ty, nnd of all parties, have- placed the question upon this ground, and that they are zealously laboring to conciliate all eludes of opinion among us, anil to pro mote unanimity and harmony at the South, in de fence of her rights and interests. Wo believe that such are the editor’s convictions, and that he has re solved instead of vuinly attempting to fortify a false position to assume more tenable ground, by taking his stand with those who contend lor an honorable, just and permanent adjustment of the difficulties which now so Imminently tliroaton our political Un ion. We trust that we are not mistaken in our con. struction of the editorials in the Republican, ot yes- terdny, and that we may yet have the satisfaction of seeing our worthy cotemporary, whose fidelity to the South we have never impugned, and for whom we entertain the highest personal respect, occupy ing the same ground on this question with ourself. We hope that all differences between us in relation to this matter may cease, and that, however we may disagree on other subjects, wo may soon have tlie satisfaction of mutually congratulating the peo ple of Georgia on the cordial unanimity of the press Which their interests are so deeply to speak ot tho cost as an impediment—he might os well object to the cost of sheltering Ilia goods from bad weather; protecting them from thieves, or dealing them out to customers. All tho other cost of his business is incurred without adequate motive or return so long as this essential element of his bu siness is neglected or scrimped. If his location nnd his stock only entitle him to expect the custom of his own township or neighborhood, then he should incur the expense of fully informing that locality. Just ao with the wholesale merchant who aspires tu « custom co-oxtensive with his State, his section or the whole Union. II he is prepared to satisfy s< wide a deinluid on favorable terms, the expense of apprising those whom lie decii eo for customers of the nature ol his business, the cliaructer yf his stock, tho range of his prices, and the reason why ho should be dealt with, is one which lie cannot re fuse to Ineur without gross incompctehcy and ruinous prodigality. By thus refusing, ho increases his ex panses for rout, lights nnd fuel, clerk hire, Ac., from a half per cent, to three, five, and iu some eases to ten per cent, ou his aggregate sales, aud renders it mo rally impossible that he should sell as cheaply ns his more enterprising and capable rivuls. In effect, ho confesses defeat and incapacity, and retreuts to the rear rank of his vocation. Sumo men who know enough to advertise are yet so narrow as to confine their advertisements to jour nals of their own creed or party. If they do not chooseto trade with any but men of like faith, this is wise ; but if they desire to have the whole public • for customers, it is otherwise. The last paragraph is deserving the particular at tention ot busiuoss men. The lines italicised In the second paragraph are elso not to be ovorlpuked. It - deed, the principle laid down by the writer is worth the silver cup nnd more to every man of business who adopts it and acts upon it. The essayist does not go into an argument to prove that the most effective way to let every family in the county (or city) know what he sells, Ac., is to advertise in tlie paper in the county or city having the Largest Circula tion. He knew that a fact which must suggest itsell to every reflecting mind needed neither illustration nor eulorcement. Appropos to the subject and the titan, we may re mark to our commercial and business public, that though the circulation of the Morning Sews is ns large, if not larger than that of both our coteinporu- l ies, our rates for advertising arc not higher than theirs. We trust that our readers will attribute the solicitude which we feel for their interests to tin: proper motive, and excuse us for reminding them of this important fact at tliis time, when the Fall business is shortly to commence, and when, if there is any philosophy in a prize essay, for which a hundred dollar silver cup vriu given, tlie wide-spread circulation of their adver- lisnieuts is a matter of material importance to them. It at all times aff ords us greut pleasure to serve tlie public, especially in tho advertising line; more so bo. cause we feel that the benefit is mutual, and that it is in our power to give an ample equivalent to tkeadver titer. What we liave written and selected above on the subject, will, we trust, seive to open the eyes ot Znr business men to their true interests, and to con vince them ot the propriety of adopting the wise pel JVJ otthe Post Office Department, even if, like it, they enculd, in these days of exceeding liberality, obtain a gratuitous insertion of their advertisements iu a jour nal of larger dimensions, hut less circulation than that rbe Merging News. on a question m involved. With unfeigned pleasure we insert the following extract from the Republican of yesterday, as indi cative of the present views of our cotemporary ou the Southern question. Speaking of the lute Mass Meeting at Macon, the editor suys: We have heretofore expressed our honest prefer ence, with proper amendments, tor the constituent measures of tho Senate’s Adjustment, over any other plan which has yet been suggested. Our opinions in this respect have undergone no change; but it is proper to add, as wo have often remarked before, that it is not with us an ultimatum. Should it tail, or should it be found practicable to divide the territory by the line of ZIP 30% we shall readily acquiesce. We desire to see this controversy brought to an end; but while such is our wish, our ardent wish, it is due to tlie North to say, that the people of Georgia will not tamely submit to any further aggressions upon their rights. They are, as We believe, opposed to the secession of Georgia, or the disunion of these States, for any thing that has yet occurred; but the North should not conclude that therefore they wiil not war, and war to the knife for their constitutional rights, if they persist in the atrocious policy which they have commenced. A high-toned and sensitive people will, when the alternatives are presented, prefer disun ion, anarchy, political annihilation, or any other ca lamity. instead of dishonor and degradation. An ev idence of this is furnished by the meeting at Macon, which, though small in numbers, and characterized, os in the case of Mr. ltlictt. by.sentiments in advance of public opinion,s hows the extent and profoundness of the excitement which now convulses the South. The lines of union mid disunion are fast being drawn amongst us, if recent events huve not already distinct ly denned them. Kor tlie present we enroll our selves with the friends of the Union, and hope the time may never come when there shall be cause for us*to change our position. Such sentiments will meet a hearty response from the true men of . the South, of all parties, while they will have a wholesome influence at the North While our cotemporary gives utterance to such sentiments as these, ho will be in no danger of mis leading public opiuion at the North or at the South, Sq long as beholds such views bis conservatism and moderation will exert their due influence here at home, while he will not have the mortification of see ing himself quoted by Northern papers, as evidence ot the apathy, discord and weakness of the South. Correspondence of the. Daily Morning News. Sand Hills, Uichmond Co. Ga, August, 23,1850. Dear T: you are sufficiently well acquainted with these precincts to know that the Hand Ilills are made a place of resort by the people of Augusta during the pummet* months ; being about three miles irom the city, and, in elevation, far above it. I now address you from tlie extreme northern point ot these hills; as a place overlooking tlie vaU» y ot the Savannah River, aud commanding, in tlie distance, a view ot tlie rolling country ou the Carolina side. At my teet be gins a little vale rich with virdurcand dotted with na tural fountains, winding its way through woodland and meadow ground, till it loses itself in the broad valley of the Savannah. How sweetly ami how mu sically goes the little stream through the middle of this vale ; now creeping lazily ulong and turning in to minaturo whirlpools and eddies ; anon, dashing impetuously, with a violent attempt at a roar, and, with leap after leap, finally plunging into the deep bosom of tho river ! The sun as it rises over this scene gives a richness and a brilliancy to each feature. The dark lolinge ot tlie trees reflects the light with a warmth, and steadi ness that give- an appearance of luxuriance to the grove in which those trees have grown ; first tipping their tops with bright hues, nnd gradually changing to a full blaze of light beaming upon every leal on the surface. The tall grass growing in little patches seems to absorb the sunlight and to be insatiable in its demands for greater warmth. And the merry riv ulet goes dancing along, making a thousand turns and whirls, and reflecting an eccentric mirror, a hundred suns lor one that shines down upon its bo som. This is the hour when nature puts on her gay est attire; for there’s not a leaf in the grove, a flower, or blade of grass, but bears its dew drop to reflect in the colors of the rainbow, the bright warm rays of theearly morning sun. Observe it nt noon, and a change has come over all- The flowers that with a consciousness of inward pu rity reared their heads in the early sunlight, are now abashed, are discomfitted with the warm embrace Apollo tenders them ; and they avert their heads till his fervor is exhausted. The trees seem to bear up under the oppressive heat with the consciousness of strength. The cattle, which in the morning nipped the medow grass and luxuriated in the dew moisten ed herbage, now stand chewing the cud under the shade of the trees that are interspersed through the valley. All is changed, save the sweet stream that dances day and night through the sunlight or moon light, through rain or starlight, still the same merry, laughing rivulet. And so the change goes on,till evening comes with its glorious sunset, and its mellow uncertain light. Then the last rnya of the setting sun gild with u soft rich hue the luscious fruits,hanging as it impatient ot their hour to ripen, and to fall; then nil the vegetable world looks up again nnd is resuscitated under the kindly influences of the softly falling dew ; and then the various voices of animated nature come, one by one upon the ear, singing the old songs which are mingled with our recollections of the melodies of our childhood. The Knty-did, the cricket, the whippoor will, the owl that trills a tremulous note,-—aye the pompous frog, and all the hundred choristers that swell that evening hymn, come,and bring me to think that before I am aware of it the sun is gone, and dork, ness reigns over all the beautiful valley lying at my feet. Think you I am painting from my imagination ? If so, how much you wrong m^giad how much you wrong the lovely spot I have^rempted to portray.— It is all I have described it, for nature has been lavish of her beauties here, and though art has done but lit tle, yet enough lias been accomplished to add to the beauty of the scenery, the luxuries of the soil. Rut 1 must bid you good night, for you must knew that we do not sit up here, by gas lights, reading proof un til one half of natures appointed time for sleep is ex pended in the hardest labor of the day. Nay, I have trespassed too fur already, and the very Katy-dids have changed their time to go-to-bed and are ring ing it in my ears. You see we are waited on here by strange servants. Resides the Katy did who tells us when to go to bed, L have a warbler here. A beautiful sweet singing bird,* Whose voice at early dawn is iica rd, In accents ringing clear. Tlie Colton Crop Louisiana.—The accounts from Concordia, Ten- sun, and Catahoula parishes, are vary unfavorable. Tlie overflow of the Mississippi, in the spring ruined theearly crops nnd the late drought and Poll worm have almost entirely destroyed what the flood left. The Concordia lutelligcncer says : On-highest estimate of the crops to he gathered this year in this region, and all for the want of good and sufficient levees along tlie Mississippi capable of keeping out the inmieuse quantity of water thnt gush ed through the numerous crevasses in Ten.it-. Madi son amt Carroll, would not he more than one-seventh of an entire auu anticipated crop. Mississippi. The editor ot the Viekshurg IVhig during a recent trip through Hinds and Madison coun ties, Miss., found that the cotton was three or four weeks behind time, though the recent fine weather had brought it forward amazingly.

If such be the case, we fear the present will prove a smaller crop than the last. Alabama.—The Eutaw (Ala.) Democrat of the 14th inst., says that the crops, except on the richest slough lands, will be cut short. The Huntsville Democrat of the 22d inst says : We can safely say that from the unprecedented drought, the crops of corn and cotton will be very deficient throughout North Alabama, and the adjacent counties of Tennessee. Not more than one-half, and in some instances, one-thiril of an average crop ot Cora, will he gathered in a number of counties ; whilst Cotton bids fair to do but little, if uny better. Some planters have cut down their corn on their laud and shocked it. Itis believed but little pork can he fattened in this whole region, from the fact that planters and farmers will require all oi their corn for bread and feed for their horses. Such a state of things is unprecedented, and causes serious alarm, where abundance (of grain at least) has universally prevailed.

We are no friends of mob law or violence of any kind, but until we know more of the circumstances of the cnee we are unable to say how fur the com munity of Macon are excusable for putting it in force. Such proceedings are of rare occurrence in our Southern communities, and yet it would be arrogat ing too much to suppose that our people had reach ed a degree of refinement and civilization which pre cluded the possibility of their resorting to Lynch’s code under circumstances of great provocation.— Our mobs are of u different class from those of the northern cities, and even til these times of excite ment a common amount of prudeuce nnd circum spection is ample protection against m»»b violence. Exchange Hotel, Baltimore.—An Alabamian sojourning in the Monumental City, thus writes of the Exchange Hotel, to the Mobile Tribune : It will not do to pass over the attention which u traveller receives at this Hotel. Itis certainly supe rior to any in this city. The appartments are airy aud commodious and the landlord is a * Prince” in his line.

I would ad vise my southern friends, it they want to be attend ed to a la SL Charles, to come to the Exchange.

Masb Meeting. A tremendous gathering of peo pie met at Montgomery, Ala., ou Saturday, the 17th inst. They upproved of the Nushville Convention, ratified its proceedings, declared in favor of Texas, and exhibited in their enthusiasm the utmost devo. tion to Sout^fprn rights. The Advertiser says that i t wax the largest meeting that ever assembled in tha oity. TIis crystal fountain cup, He dashes in—then, as lie sings, He shakes the bright drops from liis wings, And cries, 14 get up ! get up 1” And so at dawn. I “ will get up,” to go through again, the course of to-day and every day; to go over these grounds again and again, and think of the days long past, when I framped them over with the light heart of a thoughtless school boy. You have, perhaps, been over all this ground ; but you came not as 1 did, a roving boy, with gun or fish- ins: rod, tramping with a ruthless school boy’s tread, the very beauties of leaf and tlower, and waving grass, which now I pause to admire, or stop and look upon, with a kind of pleasing sadness. No botanist, nor ge ologist, nor any man of science, ever learned the crooked paths through wood or meadow, with half the precision with which a school boy learns to tread them. No, though In I ve ’till the silver hairs have outnumbered and outlived the black one’s in his locks, he will never lose the recollection of the shape of every rock, and course of every stream, he knew in school boy days. So have found my memory serve me. There’s not a tree in yonder wood, But I did know and love it well, See, here, the trunk, where one hath stood— I knew that tree before it fell. And oft beneath its branches long, 1 stretched me out nt eventide, And heard the wandering robin’s song Come echoing from the green hill-side. And when its leafless branches told, That winter came with visage grim, - I watched the squirrel, free and bold, Leap lightly up from limb to limb. Rut now ’tis gone ! it’s verdant shade, It’s long green arms have passed away; And other sapling9 of the glade, Shall flourish thus, aud thus decay! Methinks I hear a murmuring voice, Ah ! well I know it’s music dear ! . Hark ! yonder rippling stream rejoice, That summer time is drawing near. Thus hath it sung, thnt gentle rill, Through many a warm nnd sunny day ; And thus ’twill warble sweetly still, When you and I have passed away. It. A Wild and Rabid Fox. On Saturday evening last, at about dusk, as a part of the family of Mr. Nichols, residing on the bluff, about a mile below the city, were going up stairs from the dinner room, one of his little daughters, who preceded the rest, was violently attacked and severely bitten by some ani- mul which had concealed itself in a passage. Her screams called the rest to her aid, when the infuria ted animal again attacked anything and everything within its reach. It being dark, it could not be as certained wha- it was, until the arrival of the gar dener with a lantern, when the animal attacked him, biting through his pantaloons and boots. It also bit very severely a dog. The party finally succeeded, after great difficulty, in killing‘it, when it proved to be a very large wild fox, and presumed to be in a rabid state.—Natchez Courier. YSth inst. We read the above with painful interest. There is no question of the fact that foxes do at times be come rabid; and their bite is said to be even more virulent than that of the mad dog. We once knew j a young man—and a highly intelligent and promis ing young man he was—bitten by a nmd fox. For a long series of years—some twelve or fifteen, he was subjected to fits of a most violent character, racking his physical constitution nnd seriously im pairing his mind. While the fits were on him, and these occurred invariably once a week, he uttered a terrific noise, which could scarcely have been distin guished from that of a fox or small dog in the death agony. This, we understand, is the characteristic effect of the bite of the rabid animal.—N. O. Cres cent. s u N MOON High Wffl| August. Rises. Sets. Sets- Morn. n 1 S 5 O . H. M. H. M. h. m. H.

Amalgamation and Inhumanity.—On Tuesday lust, u New York constable took to the tombs in that city, a colored bov about ten years of age, whom lie found in a paint shop, corner of Pearl and Chatham sts., in a state of destitution from the want of food and clothing; the boy at the time was crying bitterly, and his person bore marks of being cruelly beaten. He stated that hisname was Albert Yarwood, nnd that he had been stolen from his mother in Demerara. While reciting hi9 tale before Justice Lothrop, a man of genteel appearance, named Thomas Yarwood, a dnguerrinn artist, made his oppearnnee in court, and claimed the boy as his son by a slave at Demerara. lie stated that he had frequently beat the boy with u horse Yfhip, uud that he did not get half us much as lie deserved. Yarwood is now married to a white woman, and the boy has been livmg with the other children. He was taken charge of by the authorities, and will be sent to Ihe Colored Home. Value of Newspapers. A thousand times says the Macclesfield Courier, have wo heard this question and unswer. Two gentlemen meet— l * What’s the news?” says one. “ Nothing but what you see in the papers.” They pass on about their business. Has it ever been noticed that among the thousand benefits of a newspaper, not the least is, that it does away with title-tattle, gossip, street-yarn, foolish exaggera tions, scandal, and news-mongering, which once took up so much of tlie time of those who were always hearing or telling some new thing. One real evil of social life is thus ended. The man rises in the morn ing, looks over the paper, is satisfied that he knows all that is worth knowing of the passing history of the world. He has nothing to tell and nothing to hear further. He docs not spend his time in giving information which his neighbor knows as well as himself. He is not annoyed in the midst of his business or pleasures by the recital of ufliiirs in which he takes no interest. The same with women. Curiosity is gratified with out the loss of time. The scandal of tlie day has not employed a hundred busy, meddling tongues ih its circulation and exaggerations. Conversation takes a higher tone. Principles of morals and taste are dis cussed ; the new poem, the last book, the magazine, or tlie review becomes the subject of conversation. Even in the minor matters of life, society owes u large debt to tlie newspaper. : I would not liuve thee Young Again.** I would not have thee young again, Since I myself am old ; Not that thy youth was ever vain, Or that my age is cold ; But when upon thy gentle face 1 see the shades of time, A thousand memories replace The beauties of thy prime. Though from thine eyes of softest blue Some light hath passed away, Love looketh forth as warm and true As ou our bridal day. I hear thy song, and though in pan ’Tis fainter in its tone, I heed it not. for still thy heart SoeuiB singing to my own. 20,000 DOLLARS!
