Tuesday Morning, September 3, 1850.
Largest Circulation in the City!!
Anotheb Heavy Freight. The Steamer Oregon,
Cupt. Shaw, left our city on Saturday morning for
Augusta, with a large and valuable freight. She car
ried about 200 tons of freight, a portion of which
was in a fiat. Wo noticed among the cargo 145 hlids
oi Molasses, 15 lihds. of Sugar,.u large quantity of
Bagging, Oil, &c. ?tll our steamers now carry heavy
freights, und tho hum of business under the bluff, be
gins to remind us of the approach of winter. The
river is in tino navigable order, and all goods “have
quick dispatch.”
Fall Business Commencing. The present in
dications uro in favor of a very large fall trade-
larger, perhaps, than lias ever been transacted in Sa
vannah. Within the pust live days some twenty ves
sels have arrived at this port laden witli goods for
our merchants, who aro receiving immense stocks of
groceries, dry goods, und plantation supplies, for the
fall trade. In a few duys our market will be stock
ed with a full supply of all the articles demanded by
tho interior trade, and our merchants will be prepar
ed to supply country dealers on ns liberal terms ns
they can he supplied in any other Southern market.
Tlio facilities of trade between this city und the inte-
ior of this State, ns well as portions of Tennessee
and Alabama, nrc daily increasing. Our merchants
have felt this fact in tho increased demand from those
sections, and have prepared themselves to meet and
second the movement which is destined ultimately
to make our city one of tile most important commer
cial ports on tho Atluntic Coast.
Our correspondent, Equity, reminds us tlint
while rents and real estate has greatly advanced
within the past year, there has been no correspond
ing advan ee in the wages of our mechanics. We are
not sufficiently conversant witli the matter to be able
to judge of the disparity of which he compiuins.—
Wo have always been under tho impression that
wages here were ns high as in any other Southern
city j if they aro not, wo 6eo no reason why they
should not be, as certainly the laboring mnn’s expen
ses liore are us great ns in any city in tile Union.-
We think our correspondent may regard the Im
provement of which we spoke as a favorable indica
tion, tor it is a well settled principle that where oth-
r interests prosper the raachnuic arts must also
prosper. The price of labor, like everything else is
regulated by the supply and tile demand, and will
command its value.
Southern Medical I.lterature.
Southern Medical Rei>orte. An., Ac Edited by E. D-
Tenner, M. D., ot New Orleans. Vol. 1,1849. New
Orleans, B. M. Norman : New York, Samuel 8.
ft William Wood.
It is a well established fact, that diseases are mod
ified by climate, soil, and lucidity. Climate in its
proper sense is not constituted by lines of Longitude;
hut is varied by other causes, such ns elevation nbovo
tlie level of the sea, vicinity to water, absence or
presence of woods, us is well known to the scientific
Meteorologist
It is a singular fact that olio of the Isothermal lines
of the world, as laid down by Humboldt, runs across
the whole continent of North America, almost in the
latitude of 36 deg. 30 min.
Although nil the Southern States,except Maryland,
Virginia und Kentucky, lie below tills latitude, there
is still a very great diversity of geological formation
in the various Southern States, or indeed in parts of
the same State. For instuuce, our own Goorgiu bus
every foiinution, from the alluvium of the seaboard,
to the granite of the upper counties.
it is a fact in nature, tliut lertile soils arc us prolific
of the sources of disease ns they are of tile fruits of
tho earth. To this cuuse it is owing that the teeming
soil ol the South has rendered its climate more des
tructive to huinun life tliun the less fertile soils of tile
more Northern Stutes. Tho opportunity then lor
observing diseuso is frequent for tlio Southern prac
titioner of inediciue. The fact that many skillful
physicians exist amongst us cannot be dou bted. Yet
for one Southern physician who writes out his observu
tions, there uro u hundred Northern ones who do the
same. Whence the difference 1 We answer, first:
from tlie violent nature of tlio discuses predominant
amongst us, und the frequent changes in them from
tneir periodical eliuructer, the pructicc of tlio South
ern Bliyeiciun is more arduous than Unit of his
more fuvored Northern confrere. His time is so
much occupied by practice, that he can really spare
But little of it for writing essays, and hunting up au
thoritics. His essuys are limited to Uie bed side, und
tlie only authority he cun conveniently consult, is the
gieut one of nature. Second—tlie spurscucss of our
population prevents that aggregation of medicul men
which, utter all, from the constant collision of intel
lect it gives rise to, is one of the greatest incentives
to assuming the pen. Dr. Tenner of New Orleans,
long and favourably known to his professional breth
ren Uirougliout the Union, from his connection with
tho New Orleans Medical Journul, ns one of our few
Southern physicians, whoin the midst of active medi-
cul pursuits could find time to wield his pen, bus de
termined to uifordun incentive to medical men in the
South to enter upon the field of professional litera
ture. About fifteen mouths since he issued a pros
pectus for publishing unnuully a volume of medical
reports on the medical Topography, meteorology and
prevalent diseases of the Southern States, to ho fur
nished by physicians practising in those States. The
volume now before us, published ill the beginning of
this year, is tlie^firstjfruit of tiiis enterprize. Contri
butions to it have been furnished from Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South, Caroli
na, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Tenessee und Texas.
Although Dr. Tenner, in tlint portion of u book
last written, but first read, his preface, speaks with
great modesty ot the contents of the volume, edited
by him, (and to which hehas also largely contributed)
we are much mistaken if tlie medical profession do
not place a much higher estimate upon it than he has
done. The truth is that he has collected ar.J embo
died a vust deul of highly useful information, and
such ns w 11 hereafter greatly contribute to the pre
servation of hculth and the prolongation of life, in
tlie exposed portions of the Southern States. Wo
hope he will persevere in his lauduble undertaking.
It would be out of place, in a daily like ours, to
go into any detailed criticism of tlie several articles.
But we do cordially and conscientiously recommend
it to the favorable attention of the medical profession
at the South,and think tlint every Physician ought to
make himself possessor of a copy.
It can be ohtuined at the book store of Mr. J. II
Cooper.

Jockey Legislation. The Washington corres
pondent of the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser 6ays: “Some
jockeying has already been exhibited in planning tlie
bills, for the best chance in the race. It the Territorial
Bills are prescribed first, und the Wilmot is pat to
them, as it may be ill the House, there will be a flare up,
or a stampede, as it is called, on the part ot the south
ern gentlemen, to interrupt business. If the Texas
bill can be passed, possibly California admitted, then
tho Territorial Bills may be overslaughed, aud thus
General Taylor's plan came out with success, from
the necessity of the case—which, by the way, was
both ita foundation and' defence. An effort will be
made, if practicable, ,o amend the Texas Bill, by ob
taining more land for New Mexico. If successful,
tho majority for passing it will be much increased.”
The writer thinks the territory in dispute is “bound”
to becomu free soil.
W ashington Rumors A dispatch to the N. Y.
Express says It is tlie general belief tlint tlie Presi
dent will veto the Fugitive Slave Bill, on the ground
of the unconstitutionality of the provision.
Another rumor states that Mr. Kennan’s resigna
tion has been accepted, and that Mr. John M. Botts
of Virginia, will receive the appointment.

Improvements in the Daguerrean Art.—
Great improvements in tlie various processes of tnk-
ing Daguerreotype likenesses, have been made in this
country, and much credit is due to American Artists
for tlie perfection to which they have brought the ori
ginal discovery, as well as for tile numerous and im
portant inventions and improvements which they
have introduced. Among the newest discoveries
connected with the nrt is ouo by a Mr. Brady of N.
York, by which lie is enabled to tuke Dnguerreaii
miniatures ill Ivory. By this process, says the N, Y.
Tribune, it is believed that miniatures enn bo obtained
nt less thun half the original price of these beautiful
and hitherto costly works of art. Tlio specimens
we have seen of the new process combine hi an emi
nent degree the beauty of a fine painting with the
fidelity of tlie Daguerreotype. This improvement,
when fully established and thrown open to the pub
lic, will no doubt win its way to general favor.
Another important discovery is thatol Ifr. Howes
of Boston, we believe, by which nn ordinary sized
daguerreotype miniature cun he magnified to life
size, or larger, if necessary, and thrown upon' n can
vass or any other flat surface, retaining nt tlie same
time all the clearness and detail of the daguerreotype,
so that nn artist may seat himself before this mugni-
tied reflector and render it a perfect copy, in light
Riid shade, os well as outline, ot the original. This
discovery will facilitate tho work of the portrait paint
er, and save a large amount of time consumed in sit-
l.ng.

Friend Thompson : In your article of Saturday
morning, commenting upon the scarcity of house,
and tlie ndvunce of rent, you forgot to stute tlie tact
that the city authorities had reduced the taxes on real
estate twenty-five per cent. How is this ? House
rent has advanced, cotton 1ms advanced, the price
of negroes has advanced, abolitionism to the contra
ry notwithstanding j brend-stuffa have advanced. In
fact there is notan article, (tea excepted,) that the
poor man eats drinks or wears, but what lias advanc
ed ; and how is it, I would enquire, that with all these
facts before us the wages of the mechanics arid la
bouring classes remain stationary? How is it possible
tor them to meet their increased expenses, and sup
port themselves and families without their wages ui e
increased also. This is u subject that should attract
tlie serious consideration of the mechanics and work-'
ing classes. EQUITY.
Baltimore, Aug. 26—P. M.
Severe Gale on the Chcsapcohc Iiay- The steamer
Gazelle returned this murning from St. Michael's
Camp Meeting on the Eastern eliore, and brought up
Capt. Barlow and the crew ol tlie schr Savannah,
trom this port ior Newport, R. I. with coal, which
was sunk oil Harper’s island, in tlie bay, during the
severe storm on Saturday night. The Gazelle also
reports passing in the bay a schooner und porgee up-
sei. A report prevailed at the camp ground that
tlie schooner had on hoard nn entire family on their
way to attend the earup. All nro supposed to have
been lost. Several other vessels are reported to have
been lost; among them one from Savannah.
Norfolk, Aug, 27.
Severe Storm at Norfolk. The storm of Saturday
night, Irom S. E. to W„ was tlie severest experienced
i“ tlle Chesapeake for thirty years past. The steamer
“Osceola” had her wheel house blown away, and
several, small vessels were seen ashore, some dismas
ted, ott the Capes. Several houses in tlie country were
blown down, and a woman and two children were
killed.—We have heard nothing ns yet from the
coast; hut serious injuries are apprehended.
Professor Webster.—It is said, upon good nuthori
ty, that the medical student who entered Dr Webster's
rooms, at the time the dreadful scene ofNovember
last was being enacted, will publish a statement, after
the execution, giving full particulars of all he saw and
heard. It appears tlie student had left his rubbers in
the Docter’s laboratory, and finding the doors locked
and supposing the Doctor had gone to Cambridge, he
raised a window und entered that way.—Boston Her
ald.
A Revolting Case. Jonathan Muuroe, a farmer,
living in Seekonk, Muss., aged 38 years, was arrested
on Monday night last, and examined before Justices
Shove and Starkweather, on complaint for an assault
with intent to commit rape on- his own daughter, a
benutiful and modest girl, 15 years of age. It appear
ed, n't the examination, that ior tlio last two years he
had frequently beat her in the most brutal manner to
comped her to yield to his wicked design. The ac
cused was committed to jail in Taunton to await liis
trial.—Pawtucket Gazette.
It is remarkable, in the nbove table, how large a pro
portion of tlie British emigrants prefer the U. S. not
withstanding all tho exertions ana influences used by
their own government to lead them to their own col
onies. Last yeRr near three fourths caineto the U.S.
This is anew proof of the attachment of the mnsaes
in Europe to our free institutions, nitho' the aristoc.
racy, and aristocratic writers there, so strongly on-
denvor to circulate had opinions respecting us.
It is a new feature in the history ot migrations that
n large number of the British emigrants are brought
over by funds gratuitously provided by relatives al-
uily in tlie United States. A writer in tlie London
Chronicle, July 15, after learning tlio amount of bills
transacted in this wny by five houses in Liverpool,
estimates tlint tho grand sum of one million sterling,
or near $5,000,000, is thus sent over every year. This,
to us, seems nlmoet incredible.
But, from whnt has come to our personal knowl
edge, we are inclined riot to doubt the fact stated. It
is a well known fact that our Irish laboriug popula
tion, true to the impulses of a generous nature, send
u large portion of their earnings to their relatives in
Ireland, to enable them to join them in this lnnd of
equality and plenty. It would, perhaps, be a fair es
timate to set down one-fourth of the earnings ot the
Irish in this country, over their own support, to the
afund which is regularly flowing back to Ireland for
tile purpose of liberating relatives and friends from
the political bondage of the mother country. What
ever be its precise amount, wo know it to be very
large, and it is a gratifying item, not only in “die an
nals of the poor,” but in tlie current history of tlie
world. A future Bancroft or Macaulay should not
forget it.
DVsuys tho Newark Advertiser, remarking on this
subject, in edition to the 300,000 British emigrants of
last year, we knew tlie number of our own to tile
great West, and the number of Russians to .Sibe
ria, and the Germans, Dutch, Norwegians, and other
Europeans, who are going out to fill up new coun
tries, we would be able to torm a more definite idea
of the present great Providential movement soon to
ulter the entire face of the globe. Wesupposethe
whole company will he about one million 1 And this
wonderful current is to continue yeai after year—lin'd
increase in its millions we know not how many fold,
until the prophecy is fulfilled that “ many shall run
to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
ISF 5 * Tlie President of the City Council of Satillo,
in Mexico, lias sent an invitation to the Mayor of
Brownsville, Texas, to attend the Annual Fair which
is to commence nt the former place on the 25th inst.
and continue to the gth of October. As an induce
ment, the President informs tlie Mayor that “Besides
the regular amusements, there will be seven hull
fights, commencing on the 29th September and end
ing on the 5th October.
Congressional Proceedings,
Tlie proceedings of tlie House, on Wednesday
and Thursday, were of nn interesting character. The
Texan Boundary Bill being called up, and read for
tlie first time, Mr. Inge demanded that the hill should
be submitted to the test of tlie 116th rule. The rule
was read as follows:
“The first reading of a bill shall be ior information,
and if no opposition be made to it, the question shall
be, 'Shall tills bill he rejected?’ If no opposition he
made, or if the question to reject he negatived, the
bill goes to its second reading without a question.”
The Speaker said the question would he on there
jection oi tlie bill.
Mr. McClemand moved the previous quest'on
which was seconded.
The main question was ordered.
The question was then taken, shall the bill he re
jected ? und it was determined in the negative. Yeas
35, nays 168
The hill was rend a second time.
Mr. Boyd proposed nn amendment to tlie bill, by
ndding tlie bill of the Semite to establish territorial
governments for New Mexico and Utah, omitting
those parts of each making an appropriation for the
public buildings and library in said territories.
[By striking out those purts of the Senate Hill for
establishing territorial governments for Utah and
New Mexico it does nwuy with the necessity, unde r
tho rule, of considering those hills in the committee
of the whole on tlie state of the Union—and the
probability ot their defeat by a long debate.]
The amendment having been rend,
Mr. Megde raised a question of order—tlint tlio
amendment was not gernmin to tho bill, and because
it was, in eflcct, contained ill the Senate bill now
pending.
The Chair overruled the point of order.
Mr. Schenck appealed from the decision of the
Chair, und demanded the yens and nays. ' These
were ordered and taken, und the decision was affirm
ed—yeas 123, nays 83.
[The elavery question is left by the amendment to
be settled by the people of the territories when they
proceed to organize State Governments.]
The amendments having been read, Mr. Boyd c laim
ed the floor to address the House. Mr. Richardson
desired him to yield it to him to enable him t8 present
nn amendment to the bill, providing for the admis
sion of the State of California into the Union.
Mr. Boyd refused, butyielded to Mr. Williams, who
moved that tlie House adjourn. It adjourned on a
vote of 109 to 95.
On Thursday the hill was brought rip as the unfin
ished business, with Mr. Boyd's amendment giving
territorial governments to New Mexico mid Utah.—
Tlie hill in this shape is known us the new omnibus.
Several amendments were made and {Joints of.or-
der raised, which gave rise to considerable debate,
tlio attention of the opponents of the measure evi
dently being to prevent action on it, in the shape in
which it was presented. In tiie course of tlie pro
ceedings Mr. Root, of Ohio, moved the application
of the Wilmot Proviso. Tlie House ndjourned with
out coining to a vote. The Southern Press speaking
of tlie proceedings has tho following :
Second upset of the Omnibus.—Tlie Omnibus was
reconstructed and brought into the House of Re
presentatives yesterday, anil started with a skilful
parliamentary maurger on tlie box. Another Ken
tuckian, but a Democrat, Mr. Boyd, undertook to
run it through; but the vehicle immediately went
to pieces and tlie passengers weVe all spilt out. Thus
ends tlio first chapter in tlie House, of tho adventures
of the new coalition.
Shameful Mob at Chilicotite.—On Sunday evening
last, a set of real scoundrels mobbed the "Sisters of
Notre Dame,"at Cliilicothc. The papers of that place
are lull of the proceedings, both of the mob and of the
good citizens. We understand tiiis is the ninth time
that the “Sisters ot Notre Dame,” at the above place
have suffered insult and violence since they started
their school there. On this occasion their house aud
academy was pelted with rotten eggs, and some of
these “inoffensive and do fenceless females” were
driven forth to seek shelter, while a part remained
“sick unto death,” to meet their fate, he it wbut it
may.
A meeting was held and n reward of $100 wns of
fered for the arrest and conviction of the lenders in
this disgraceful affair,—Cincinnati Commercial.

more Sun says:
The programme agreed upon ten days ago by
Speaker Cobh and Linn Boyd has been so far suc
cessfully carried out. and Boyd's strong team, with
Texas, New Mexico mid Utah, iH likely to lie driven
successfully through the House, and from the Senate
up the avenue and past tlie White House—and all be
fore Friday night. The unanimity with which the
House sustained the Speaker's decision, and thereby
set up tlie new omnibus, is nn indication that it will
pnse. The Southern men generally sustained tlie de
cision. Every difficulty scorns to lie ohvinted by con
necting the territorial hills with the Texan boundary
bill, and by putting the whole ahead of California.
The distrust that prevailed among the Southern mem
bers as to the course of the North is tints removed.
Upon inquiry, I linve ascertained that Boyd’s om
nibus will pass the Senate, with the aid of several
Eastern votes, which were till own against the origi
nal Senate omnibus.
The opinion is expressed very generally that the
two ileuses will he prepared to adjourn inafort-
the War Department.
subject It is likely to be satisfactory
to both Ileuses.
