Tbo late accounts from California, as usual, repre sent everything In tlmt golden land,as being in a most prosperous condition. The following letter, howev er, gives us a less flattering picture of tbo Now Kldo ratio. Tbo writer admits that bis body and soul are bold together by pitch plasters, from which wo inter that bo is physically inlirm, which tuny account in partfoi* tbo oblhjuity of bis incnlul vision. Wo should suppose that a country, the climate of which is fetal to mules and Jackasses, was not a lit place for him, and would advise him to leave by the |tirst bout. There are many persons among the crowd of adven - t urers, who have gone to California, who expected no doubt,that the gold was to be found'lying about loose mid that they would have nothing to do but. to pick it up and bag it. Such persons liave, of course, been disappointed, and their chugrin has caused them to louk with jaundiced eyes upon every thing about them —making tlio “radishes ns tough us shoe leather."— On tho other hand there has no doubt bdhn great ex- ngerations by those interested in^lorcirg tlio emigra tion from the Free States to California, and while al lowance is to he mudo for tho despondency ol the writer, wo may safely take u portion of his story for truth. Wo liuvo ulwuys been of tlio opinion that a revulsion would tako pluce in California, “ ...at all was not guld that glitteied" there, and that the pres ent artificial stnte of things, would have to give way to u more substantial and legitimate system.— That there is abundance of gold there no one may doubt. Hut wo do doubt if tho mini s will ever be worked with real profit until slave labor is introduc ed in California. But to return to the letter which we find iu the Express : ( San Francisco, June 20, 1850. “ * * * I shall now proceed to state, according to tho best information I cun collect, and as derived from a close personal observation, what is strictly true as regards this country. And 1 challenge any uiun to deny the truth of whnt 1 have written you. 1 consider California one o 1 the most gigantic hum bugs of our time, mid one that lots been most suecess- luhy kept up. Its mineral wealth 1 do uot question ; but evory dollar of gold, so fur, taken lrotn tile earth, heliovo me, has cost double its value. There is not a man that J Know of that has made any considerable amount by digging gold. But 1 can tell you how they do get tlieir money. Men in New York,and elsewhere, are sending the finest ships here, laden with property of every description. As soon as these vessels enter the harbor, they ure attacked by tins “ hounds" with which this country swarms. Then the tost comes who shall have the largest share of the spoils I The largo amounts of gold, received at. New York end other places, from California, are wind deceive the whole world/ It is impossible to give any accu rate cstinmtoofthe number of persons engaged at the mines; But it must ho overu hundred thousand, 1 think. The margins of the rivers are densely throng ed with adventurers, each man appropriating to him self say 10 or 15 feet—and even now so great is tho rush to scctiro a "location" that they travel through snow four feet deep to get at tho promised hunt." But whnt shall I say of this horrid climate? At this moment 1 can only keep alive by having a huge pitch plaster upon- my breast, a loot square.—with sundry blisters on other parts of my body. We have almost perpetually cold easterly winds, equal to the worst you nave at home ill ihv winter season. [Tlio' streets at San Francisco, are generally sunk in ntud from 4 inches to two feet deep.] Tlio atmosphere here ismilike any tube found in any other quarter of the habitable globe. When you inhale it, it has an effect upon tho system much tlio same as anthracite gas. It is an absolute truth, thrt it kills mules ami jackasses. Wherever you go, you will hear the poor animals coughing and sneezing tram its deleterious influences. ******** The soil is nil sand. As fur ns the eye can penetrate in any direction, nothing is s-cn but mountains of great height, Without a vertigo of v. gelation ot any kind taj>movo the view, it is the roughest country lover beheld. There is not a solltury aero of ground within ten miles of tho town, that is anything near u common level. I have seen some radishes that were grown here, that were as tough as shoo leather. (>ys tors are very plenty. They sell at $0 n quart. Sal mon, they say are cAught in the Sacramento, hot I would not vouch for tho truth of this story. * * Tbo prices of real estate, and the equally exorbi tant rents in San Francisco nro an absurdity. * * I will just show you how ridiculous are some of the estimates of California wealth, which have been sent home to the States to humbug unsuspecting people there. Frank Ward was called the wealthiest young man iu tho country. But the fact is he never could have realized even §10,000 in cash, lie built him r.while ago a mansion, which could he built now for §1200. It cost him $12,000. Becoming crippled for money, ho sold it for $28,000, and then turned round and hired it at a rent of $1000 a mouth. * * * ihirk Six Brothers the other day sold 71,000 feet of lumber Ibnguod and grooved, clear yellow, white pine planed hoards, for $21 per M. A few days since 100 Mi Boston No. I chinglos sold ut auction for $1,- 50 per M. i have a lot of splendid beef, which cost in Boston $17. 1 paid but $4 for it here ? 1 have pur chased 13 now boats, which enme from Boston, and for which $ 10 freight was paid on each bout. They costtoe .hut $27,30 eiich. Business of all kinds is enrried on herp after tho most cut throat fashion imaginable. An example: Tho other day there was an auction sale *f trunks, for storage, ft Sacramento City, (about 1500 in nil.) A mnjqrity of the owners were probably dead ; tho remainder did not call in time—and so trunks and contents were sold, nnsight, unseen, to anybody that Would buy them at from $1 to $3 apiece. One of the lucky purchase!'* found $1500 in gold dust in one of the boxes ho hud bought in this way. The’ Corporation (if it deserves thu name) sold several lots tho other day, at an aggregate bid of $000,000. On that property all put together, you could not. in New York, negotiate a loan of $2000. * * * The ? rioc of labor, here, dosorves a word or two. When came hero 1 found Iroin 1000 to 1200 persons “tent ing" out, covered with all kinds of rags, sick, couch ing, and dying. There was not a day's labor to be had for more than a hundred of these poor wretches ““'he coming winter will he productive of the most, ■aril of misery .and suffering. The facilities for ling money huyo been getting worse and worse . a the day 1 arrived. Seeing the downfall that I8t ere long take place, 1 have sold my lumber for the market price, $175 per M. and am determined not to deal in anything above tlio prices currontnt home. I have yet to see the first purson who 1ms express ed any satisfaction with this place. * * * Again 1 tell yon it is a shocking country. * * * Th 0 sacrifices that are made in the prices of some of tlio vessels at this port arc immense. The hark Tecum- sell (400 tons; which CT)6t $14,000 in New York, lias been sold for $1700. I could mention hundreds of like instances, showing losses equally ruinous. Women had better commit suicido if they bnvftnny serious intention of coming to California. The' oh- mate is terrible. You see grave yavds nil over. Wo have three very largo ones in San Francisco,and these toll a tale not to he misunderstood I■ have met a great many lawyers, doctors, and clergy, who had come from New York. Not one of tilemisdoing walk Tito best they ure doing is to make out u hard-scratched living. * * * Trust no man that is connected with California. Thu excite ment ami the huge delusion it has occasioned will in the end he productive of a greater loss of life and property Bum even was sacrificed in the war of the Revolution. Time will prove that whnt 1 say is true. Yours. ' II. 1’. HOYT. Sip#u for Death of a Yuan# Lady by Eightniug.— On the evening of the 30th of July, at twilight, Miss Charlotte Ann Wooers, u highly accomplished youii"- lady at Uroen Bay, Wisconsin, was sitting in her father's house against n partition over which a stove pipe communicated with a chimney, during a thun der storm, singing with her sister, Mrs. Lnthrop, ns- was her custom, (he, plnntive ballad "Goodbye,” each bearing it separata part At that moineur a heavy cloud passing over the house discharged its fearful contents. The fatal shaft entered the chim ney, followod the stove-pipe to 'the stove, and then down the partition against which tile deerused was sitting, and exploded just over her head. The room was-fillcd with a sudden blaze of light, u thundering crash followed by a piercing scream was heard, nnd Miss Mooers, who hut a moment pefore was in per fect health. now enveloped in flames, lay upon the Uuor.lusen Able taut apparently dead. Immediately remedies used, hut no signs of life appeared. Her neither, with much presence of mind, breathed in her month, throwing a volume of air Into her lungs, which was repeated again nrnl again by her lather, until I»y extraordinary efforts a slight response whs observed, a contraction of the lips, « quiver of the clilu, followed by partial respiration until she was so far restored to consciousness ns to regain her sight, to spruit, to know her friends around Iter and appre ciate their efforts to alleviate her sufferings, hut not to fully understand the cause of her distressing con dition. So many senses having been restored to he r it very naturally raised in thu minds of her afflicted parents and friends, hopes of her ultimate recovery ; but thosehopes were illusive.

J .Ty.- 1 The Mails for Havana, Cliugrcs, Panama, Cal ifornia and Oregon, to go by the Steamship Ohio, will lie closed at 10 o'clock this morning. i 'Zp' We are indebted to lion, iluuit A. Haral son, for a copy of his able speech in tlio House of Ucpresentntives on the Territorial Question, deliver ed on the 10th inst. We have also to thank our Representative, lion. Jos. W. Jackson, lor interesting public documents. The papers of tlio interior aro chiefly filled with tho proceedings of State Rights meetings in al most every County in the Stuto adopting ami recom mending the Missouri Lice. Such unanimity of sen timent never before prevailed in this State on any subject. What is to become of the little politicians who still endeavor to make n party niattor of this great and vital question I The editor of the Macon Messenger says he lia* re ceived formal notice that Dr. Andrews, after tnkin>* legal advice, bus resolved to institute an action for li. be! against thoso who publish the preamble to the reso lutions of the lute meeting of tho citizens of that place, the object of which was to silence his press. Had not the doctor hotter bring an action nguinst the meeting itself. ITT A number of tho citizens of Kingston have addressed Robert Munroe Harrison, the American Consul there, asking him to nddross liis government upon the subject of establishing a regular mail com munication, through the port of Kingston. Great in jury, they represent, has been sustained for want of n regular Postal communication, such ns lias been es tablished with the United Slates, and other British Colonies. J The now threo cent pieces, recently issued from the Philadelphia Mint, have, on one eido the words “United States of America,” in which is a cir cular wreath enclosing the numeral “III.” On the reverse side is tho Liberty cap, inscribed with tho word “Liberty,” nnd surrounded with tlio rays. Un derneath the cap are the figures “18p0.” White Boy Stolen by Indians. Thc^Ocula(Fla.) Argus of the 10th inst., says. A white boy was re cently stolen by the Indians from the lower part of that county. The lad had been sent for a branding iron. The horse which he rode returned that night with tho boy’s suspenders braided in his mane. In vestigation proved the vicinity of Indians. The Ar gus says much excitement prevails. Families are again breaking up. Tho boy’s parents inconsolable mg, * had t> m MPTnu-I E'■ their F to ilei Compliment'to Caft. Brooks of the Steam er Metamoua. The following handsome and well merited compliment was paid to Copt. Brooks, of tlio steamer Metamora by a number of gentlemen of Charleston who were conveyed by Capt. B.to Sulli van’s Island during the severe gale of Saturday Inst. A meeting of passengers was convened in the cab in of tile boat, and the following preamble and reso lutions adopted: It is esteemed proper, when those, especially con nected with the public by their employments, perfotgpi nets of spirit and generosity, that tlio subjeccamf such benefits should riot^jiily enjoy tho gratification nnd privilege of expressing their gratitude, hut should he permitted to make the expression of'their gratitude public, nnd commend suelt worthy conduct to tile notice of tho public, as an incitement ami example to others. , We, the passengers on board of the Metamora, for Sullivan’s Island, deemed the event of this evening as such an occasion, and esteem ourselves ns having re ceived suelt a benefit from Captain Brooks. We found ourselves on the wharf, with n high gulcblow ing, night at linitd, separated from our families, with no means of communication with the Island from rite regular quarter. Capt. Brooks, prompted by the generous feelings characteristic of liis profession, and worthy of a commander, to rescue a party of gentlemen in an exposed condition, nnd considered in peril, and from sympathy to ourselves, promptly yielded his services, and at much inconvenience fur nished the aid of his boat: Bo it therefore. Resolved, That this company esteem it a privilege to return thoir grateful acknowledgements for the courteous, considerate and kind interposition in their behalf. Resolved, That a ropy of these proceedings be fur nished Captain Brooks, by the chuirmau huJ secreta ry of this meeting. OTIS MILLS, Chairman. E. L. Adams, Secretary. Squatter Modesty. The San Francisco Herald, edited wo- believe by a “ certain Crane" who went out to the boundless '• State of California," some few months since, ns a nonin tervention missionary, after travelling over thu North* urn States collecting subscriptions to his paper, snys: ” There is one thing upon which the people of this Stnto hnveho division of opinion. The proposition to run the line of the Missouri Compromise to the Pa cific, can never find favor in California. The people, whatever may be tlieir sentiments of self-denial, ur"-’ ingthem to prefer an adjustment of tile whole con troversy at once, to any partial settlement, evenal- though the latter should advance their own interests nevertheless cun never consentto submit to a contrac tion of their present boundaries. This is wholly out of the question. It is proposed by but very few—Jef. forson Davis, Mr. Clemens, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Yulee, Mr. Butler, nnd one or two others; but it meets with no tavor from any hut those who are opposed to all compromise, and whom we cannot hold less censura ble than such men ns Mr. Ilule and Mr. Seward. Of course such n proposition cun never receive any con siderable support. That a number of those in favor of tho measures of the compromise committee, may assent to the extension of the line of the Missouri Compromise, to the eastern boundary oftho State, is highly probable i and, of course, we should not ob ject. Anything that will lay the troubled spirit of dis union forever, will he hailed with joy by tlio people of Ibis country, as well as those of other portions 1 of the Union. But the boundaries ot California must not he disturbed." Why not, pray? Why not “disturb the boun daries of California” for the purpose of “laying the troubled spirit of disunion forever," as well ns those ol Texas ? Is not the esta'dished sovereignty of Tex as us much to be respected as the pretended, unac knowledged sovereignty of California? Are not the rights nnd feelings of a brave people, who fought for and established their right to the soil they occupy, as much to' ho regarded as those of a heterogenous mass of grasping speculators nnd squatters, of all races, tribes and nations, who have, without leave or license, eeized upon the public domain, only to plunder it of its wealth, nnd then return to whence they came? A little modesty would become, these gold digging trespassers, when they speak to the pro: prietors ol the gruund they occupy. Memphis, August 21st, 1850.

Dear T : In my letter Of yesterday, I gave you come account of the improvements mudo lately near the canal. In continuation of the subject, I will no tice to day the novelties in tho city. • Tho most prominent of these is the Pail nnd Buck et Factory of Glcndunniiig & Co. 1 have often said when looking at the neat uud precise manner in which thoso common water puils are inndo, that it was strange that they could bo niforded nt such low jffices. But it censes to be a matter of wonder, when wc see the modus operandi, nnd bocomn nware of the ease and rapidity with which they are produced.— The green timber is taken into the shop below, and placed in the seasoning room, n room in which by mentis of steam thrown upon it in large volumes,it is seasoned in a day. By mentis of n circular saw, it is cut in lengths fur working. A cylindrical saw then gives it the concave shape required to make it a part of the circle. Then us quickly hs a man can move his fingers, n little plane runs through the bench, nnd tongues one side and grooves the other of each piece. Then with a pair of circular saws plucnd nt the right distance apart, the ends are cut off, and the proper length given. The pieces being now ready to go to gether, they are placed upon a cylinder for that pur pose, and tuc upper hoop is put on, cut and fastened almost before you can ask how. The bucket is then put upon the lathe ; and by means ot a singulnr shap ed plane, shoved into it, is made, by the rapidity with which it revolves, smooth in less than two min utes, mid besides, has the groove cut to tit the bottom in, the edge rounded oil', nnd the whole as smooth as saiul paper can make it. To put the bottom in, anil put o i tho lower hoop, handle, Ate, are the work of a lew minutes, ditch is the rapidity with which the work is done, tlint three men, so tho superintendent informed me, can turn out five hundred buckets per day. A cabinet maker's sltop, you will say, is no uncom mon building, nnd is hardly worth being included among the improvements in a city of any pretention. Of an ordinary cubinct maker’s shop, I grant this would he very true; but when you go into sucit an establishment as that of C. A. Platt & Co., you will think there is something worthy of notice iu it.— Why,that chimney, 70 feet high, will make you pause; ami you will be sure to enquire into the meaning of that interminable “Whiff! iff! iff I ill! ill!" us tlio steam engine performs the labor of many, many men. Go into tho lower room, and there see circular siavs grilling nt you in every direction, like chateaux dcfrisc ; or whirling nnd fizzing like so many wheels of pyrotechnical manufacture. Here they cut the timber into tlio various lengths required ; aiql it is passed up stairs with u sort of “pnrutnrngamnmehe presto-puss!" movement. In tlio second story, plain ing, tonguing and grooving, morticing, tenanting,and other machines that 1 enn't pretend to remember, be sides turning lntlies of every variety, call your utten tion. I have forgotten the number of workmen em ployed in this establishment, but 1 know there is noth ing approaching it elsewhere iu this State. Messrs, l’latt & Co., ltere make nearly all the-furniture they sell, nnd will make anything for you, as cheaply as you can procure it from the North, and much better. Proposals are called for. to build a new bridge to enter the city at tile upper end, on tlio site of one that, was built there in 1835 and carried away by the great flood of 1810. Augusta, independently of the politi cal divisions of the citizens, has always been divided into two parties in business interest, up town nnd down town. The up town boys, tlio 600th district G. M. pride themselves on the title of “the bloody 600th” and 1 once saw nearly 200 of them march to the polls in double file to deposit their votes' for Gen. Harrison.— After tho new bridge was washed away their sit. prcniacy seemed to be waning ; but the establish ment of the factories near their end of the city reviv ed their sinking fortunes, and now by n grand rally they have succeeded in getting their favorite project on loot again : the building of another bridge, to put them on an equulity with their ancient enemies, the buttenders at the lower end of the town. Gas is talked of to light the city. They ought not to talk of it, but procure it nt once. There is no city in the Union which could look so well by “ gas light." All the business being done on one street, they would make n show hern, suelt ns can be made in no other place. They will have it too, I suspect, for a spirit of improvement is abroad, nnd will not be satisfied while any evil remains uncorrected. I have taken up much room and time in noticing the improvements of this place, for the purpose of making the people of our city acquainted with what has been done in other quarters of our State, that they may compare it with whnt we have ourselves accom plished. And I feel a glow of pride and satisfaction, iu contemplating the advance of our own people in wealth and independence. It is so much towards preparation for that position which we will have to assume nt no very distant day, among the nations of the earth. The elements have been long nt work, mid their effects have slowly nnd steadily driven us fro-n our psoitioits, until now, with the traitorous sympathy of some of our temporising people, we are deprived of the means of retaining even a decent equality in the councils of the nation. Can any man of common reflection, or of any experience in tho character of those people who thus drive us step by step before them, say, that when they have obtained this undoubted ascendancy, they will then consider ately grant us common justice. The idea is prepos terous I No sir: aggression after aggression, insult after msult, and injury after injury, to which our past experience will seem a complimentary exchange of courtesies, will he the reward meted out to the for bearing, down-trampled South. Our very soil will be polluted by the bold step of the fanatic and the incen diary, ami the torcii flaunted insultingly in our Dices. Then shall the bayonet be the only resource, nnd bloody will be tlio struggle. But that struggle must come, and with it cotnes the decree to rend the Union asunder, and build upon its ruins, at least two sepa rate) nations. What patriot can look forward to this event without a feeling of sorrow ! But whnt South erner can contemplate the humiliation of his native soil, without thinking of his musket and his rifle? Such sir will inevitably he the result, if a firm stand be not made now. That wc will unite in making this stand, 1 have no hope now; nnd this it is thnt makes me glad to see every step towards that independence which will he ultimately forced upon us, iu our mis guided ett'urts to save tho Union. ft. E. Ap* It is stated that there are nt the present time, 20,076 army pensioners iu the United States, of whom only 12.7'U have drawn their allowances. The num ber of persons in Georgia entitled to pensions from the Government is 555, of whom only 164 have drawn their money. By the act of 1818, 20,485, per sons were pensioned. Of this number there remain but 1,576! and thus far only 702 have applied for tlieir allowances. This shows what an amount of injustice is unin- tcntionidlj done those who meritoriously deserve all they have added to their credit, nnd yet who die with- i ut receiving their lawful stipends, Tho fault, how ever, lias been their own, either in nut understand ing hew to make the proper application, or of negli gence, for the department ispromptin discharging all liabilities of the kind. Philadelphia, Aug, 22—6 P. M. A Ilian apparently deranged from the effects of in toxicating liquors, about 4 o’clock this afternoon, entc red the uvunue leading to Independence Hall, and while there picked up u ease knite from an eating stand, and, without further ceremony, cut his throat from ear to ear. He then walked out into the street ahd fell on tin- pavunient. lie was soon picked up and conveyed to tiie mayor’s office, where he died iu a few moments afterwards. He stated, previous to eommiting the deed, to some persons with Whom he had been conversing, that liis mime was John Stnithi and that lie wus a ixeri-huut of Portsmouth, Vaf The New York Tribune, urges the cultiva tion of Flax instead of Cotton, ns n stronger, hettei nnd more economical material for human use, good Flax being raised nt six cents a pound, whereas Fair Orleans Cotton commands more than twice that sum with an advancing price. With improved machin ery, (something which would do for Flax, whnt Whitney’s Cotton Gin has done for Cotton,) he sup poses that the manufacture of Flax will, by and by, be made more available for domestic purposes. We observe in connection with this subject gront im provements noted in the manufacture of /Hemp. “The Maysville Herald (Ky.) of the 10th. announc ing the successful establishment nt thnt place (by J. T. Cook Sc Co.) of tin extensive manufactory of Ky- unized Rope and Bagging, wherein the II -nip is taken directly from the field as cured for the ham or stack nnd broken without lotting either by dew or by wu- ter. The machinery required for the breaking is of course of great power, hut one breaking ehgino will turn out haif a ton of dressed hemp (fiber) per day. The saving in quantity by this process, as compared with tho dew-rotting and dressing, is ten per cent, whilo the Kyanized process, (which was found not to answer witli either dew-rotted or water-rotted hemp,) here works to perfection. The reason is said to he that Rotting is a process of decay, nnd Kyaniz- ing can prevent but ennnot arrest decay ; on the con trary, it rather accelerates the process when already commenced. The material used by Cook & Co. in the Kynnizing process is kept a secret, but they, sny it is not expensive. All the fabrics used by them have an extraordinary power of endurance under tho operation of the elements. The s (lives orsvoody portion of hemp stalk are carried directly from the breaker by ma chinery to tho furnace, into which a fun throws them, nnd the sixty horse engine requires no other fuel. The Maysville Herald has a calculation showing that for an establishment making 20,000 yards of bagging per week, tho weekly expense would be $1,992 under tho old system, while with this machinery n much better ami more durable fabric is produced at a cost of $1,285, making a savingof $700.” Distressing Death from Hydrophobia. Wo learn from tho Natchez Free Trader, that Miss Sarah Ful ton, a lovely and interesting young lady of nineteen years, belonging to Franklin eouniy, Miss., came to her death on Sunday, tho 14th inst.. from the bite of a mad dog a “out four weeks previous. The Free Tra der snys : "Miss Fulton, on Saturday morning, felt shooting pains from the place where she hud been bitten in the arm, ascending towards her neck and throat, but was* well enough to ride some distance to attend a temperance barbacue. The day being hot much water was drank, and whilo attempting to drink, the poor girl felt un unaccountable spasm, or chill, prevade her frame, which prevented her from drink ing. i s site rode home she grew worse, and told tin: gentleman who accompanied her that she would die of canine madness. The paroxysms soon be- came dreadful; her mouth constantly filljng with snlivu, and throwing out foam, which had to be wip ed away constantly. Her distressed and hoarse breathing could be hoard for many hundred yards, nature sunk under the awful struggle in about twen ty-four hours, and death came to her relief on Sun day evening, the day after she was taken ill. What is most awful, nnd fills the community far and near with a prevading gloom, is tlio fact, that Mrs. Fulton; a widow nnd u mother of Miss. Sarah, was bitten much worst) thnn her daughter, by the same dog; ti negro.belonging to them, 'was also bitten, neither of whom, us yet, have felt the symptoms of tho disense.” The Hurricane.—Wo continue to receive ac counts of the ravages of the Into storm. Tho Mil- ledgcvillc Recorder of Tuesday says: Many trees in this placo ns well as in the country were prostrated, in places obstructing the roads. Cotton is materially damaged. The gale commenc ed from the east, then changed and subsided when blowing from the west. It thus twisted the cotton, corn und all other growth in every direction. All tiie cotton open was totally destroyed, and the stalk of the cotton divested of n considerable portion of its fruit. It being court week with us, we yesterday had an opportunity of conversing with a number of planters from the country, as well as others from adjacent counties. Tlieir accounts nro gluoomy.— They generally think thnt cotton has by this catastro phe been cut short at least one tenth of what other wise it would have made. Corn, in rather an imma ture state, has in many instances hail the stalk broken otf, nnd the residue thrown in every direction on tfifc ground. Fodder not pulled pretty much destroyed. We certainly hnve never experienced in thisplucea more protracted and severe gale. Wc hear of no lives lost. * The Macon Messenger of yesterday says : In this city no material injury was done to build ings ; hut many valuable trees were uprooted, slid much damage was done to shrubbery, fences, See. On the Macon 6c Western road considerable injury was done to the track by tile falling of trees across it. by the washing of the embankments, the sliding of the cuts, &.c. The Curs were, in consequence, delayed in tlieir arrival on Saturday and Sunday too late hour. The damage, however, was soon repaired, and the trains now arrive witli their accustomed regularity. The line of Magnetic Telegraph, both East and West, has been interrupted in its operations, nnd will pro bably continue so for a day or two longer.
