Revolting Narratire^-'Wc learn by a despatch just
recelvedfri.m Detroit, that the steamer .1. IV Morton,
S icked up a man from the apar of a vessel on take
liebigan. The vessel waa capsized in a gale a week
ago, since which time lift haa been drifting about tho
latte. For the want of looil, he had eaten-n Is llngfira
entirely off. He ia still olive. '
Know Cuba.—A letter from Havana, dated 1st inst-
says, that the recent execution by the Garote at Car
denas, of Don Bernadio Hernandez, has created
mucli talk. Hemaildes was a planter, residing near
Cardeztas, and the crime for which he was executed
was for the hospitable manner in which he received
and treated aome of the Lopes party, at the time of
t heir capture at Cardenas. Hcrtlandsz was a-gentle-
man of great influence and wealth.
The Spanish storeahip St. Cecelia reached' Havana
August 30, with a fresh detachment of Spanish troops
The same letter says: that the Dierto do lh Marina
had announced that a treaty of alliance had formally
b oen entered into between Spain and England, by
which the latter bound herself to sustain Spain against
all attempts at revolution, by the people of Cuba, or
other part* of die Spanish domnin. Another object
of this treaty was to prevent the lauding of any mbre
Lopez expeditions.
The correspondent of tho New York Sun, of first
ihst says;
TheDlaHo gthtes that in conformity to the above
named treaty,the English frigate ‘‘Indefatigable 1 ’ was
recently despatched to cruise arou«d Cuba, and keep
Watch of vessels approaching that coast. The Indo-
fbtigable, on her pusago, touched at Jamaica, to leave
orders for the Admiral of the station, couched in the
most stringent terms, towards the treatment of any
vessels suspected of designs against Cuba. Tho frig
ate was fifteen days, according to the Diorio, in reach
ing Havana from Jamaica, in consequence of tho im
mcnae numbers of vessels which it fell in with, every
one of which was boarded and examined, to make
sure that thore were no arms, powder or men on
board, bound to Cuba. Owing to the immense com
merce of the United States, In those parts, the ma
jority of all the vessels fallen in with were American.
But all were examined, not even excepting the regu
lar American steam packets from Chagrcs. In every
instance, says the plnrio, wuon a vessel was thus ex
amined, the fdiicfatigablo exhibited at her fore the
Spanish flag, thus recognising the right of Spain to
search all vessels approaching the Cuban coast, and-
atgnifying the hearty co-operation of England to sus
tain Spain's interests. It is not believed here that any
such treaty as the Diario speaks of has bcenexeouted;
nor have we heard that any American vessels have
Boon searched as alleged.

Terrible Tragedy Id Maryland.
The Body of a Murdered Woman Found. The
. Baltimore Hun; of yesterday, has a letter giving an
account of a brutal murder, which took place a lew
days since on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lino,
near Lection 20, about twenty miles west of Cumber
land, Md.
“it appears that on Sunday last, near Section 20 a
man was attracted by the singular conduct of bis dog,
Who persisted in scratching at a particular spot, and
harking furiously. In a few moments tho dog suc
ceeded in exhuming a human band, delicately form
ed, and the man immediately after set to work and
disinterred tho body of a young and beautiful look
ing female, with small and beautifully formed hands
and limbs. Her nose was broken and her breast
much braised from the blow of a bludgeon. Her
throat WOa cut from ear to 'ear ; and from the confu
sion and absence of any great quantity of blood, the
throat was supposed to have been cut after death, to
mnke death certain. In her pocket was found a letter
from hor husband, Thos. McLaughlin, and a marriage
certificate, dated Brooklyn. The letter was address
ed to ‘‘Eleanor Feehly, prospect Hill, Brooklyn. N.Y.,
to bo forwarded to Ellen Egan," and expressed a
desire on his part for her to meet him at Cumberland.
The marriage certificate was signed by **H ugo Ma
guire, Raster, C. Brooklyn, New York.
The man supposed to be M'Lnu ghlin, arrived at the
30th section of the road on the 3lst of August, the
same day he had left the 20th section; and, on the
murder being announced there on Tuesday last, he
immediately disappeared, ovincing great agitation.
And what makes the suspicion more direct against
him M the tact that a hat, identified as belonging to
the missing man, was found in the hole underneath
■ the murdered body, which, it is supposed fell off in
the darkness and hurry of the moment, and was cov
ered up before ho missed it.—At ten o'clock on tho
night of Tuesday, six of the engineers started on
horseback in pursuit of tho fugitive, and hopes were
entertained that they will bo enabled to overtake him
before ho started West in tho morning.
Conjgrv.selomil Proceeding* .
Washington, Sept. 10.
Senate. Mr. Douglas presented the credentials of
Mr. Gwln, Senator elect from California.
Mr. Barnwell presented the credentials of J. C.
Fremont, Senator elect from California. Mr. B. re
marked that he had doubts as to the propriety of ad
mitting Caliinruia, but to Col. Fremont ho had no
personal objection.
•After some discussion, in wbloh the legality of this
election was questioned, they were qualified imd took
their seats.
The bill to abolish tho slave trade in the District
was taken up and after aome amendments offered,
and some debate, tho Senate adjourned without com
ing to a vote.
House of Representative. The bill making appro
priation for the support of tho Millitary Academy
at West Point came up in order, and tho amendments
of the Senate were concurred in. So the bill is final
ly passed.
Mr. Boyd stated that tho representatives from the
State of California, Messrs. W oodtvortli and -Gilbert,
Were present, and desirous to be sworn in.
Mr. Venable raised the auestion of constitutional
right of those representatives to take seats—having,
said, been elected before California was recogniz
ed aa a State, and before she was admitted into tho
Rnlou.
This question was argued at length; but before a
ODclnsion could bo arrived at, the House ad journed'

An AMI9T.—Our citzeni are aware that for some
time past numerous stores have been entered and
small amounts of monoy abstracted from the tills.—
It caused considerable surprise that nothing else
should have been disturbed in the stores entered.—
Our police have been actively on the look out for
some time, hut up to Friday night no clue could be
had to the partlea committing the robberies. That
night another 6toro was entered, and sufficient evi
dence was procured to cause the arrest of a young
negro boy, about 18 years of age, who has confessed
lie was engaged in all the robberies, and he implicates
several of his companions.
Abbival of the Gkobgta. The steamship Geor
gia, Lieut. Pobtf.b, from New York, for Cbogres,
vin this port, arrived on Saturday afternoon. She
loft New York on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock
and arrived off Charleston nt 1 A. M., on Saturday.—
She waa boarded by tho Pilot Boat Saeannah, 7 miles
out side our bar, (in a heavy rain) on Saturday alter-
noon, and received the mails from this city. The Pi
lot Boat received from tho Georgia 78 passengers for
tills city, and arrived at tho wliarfi at 2 A. M., yester
day morning. Tbe list of passengers will bo found
under the proper head.
ThkFlobida War again Commenced.—VVcper-
cotve hy the Congressional proceedings of tho 27thi
that Mr. Cabell, of Florida, introduced a bill in tho
House, providing for the raising and equipment of
six companies of Volunteer Militia, to accomplish tho
removal of the remaining Indiana from Florida.
By a passenger who arrived in this city on Satur
day from Florida, we learn that the Indians ore still
determined not to remove. It is now some months
since Billy Bow-Legs had an interview with Gen,
Twigqb, and he stated then that he would not ro
move. It seems that tbe people of Florida intend to
undertake the removal of tho Indians themselves.
PnOGRAMME Fon THE FIRST CONCERT. JENNY
Lino’s first song in America was the celebrated aria
fromNormn, “Casta Dira." The seond “77 Tureoin
Italia.’’—a duett with Sig. Belleti. The third a trio
(Camp of Silesia) for voiccand twoliutes. Thefourth
the “Herdman's Song,” an echo piece. And the one
reserved for the grand finale was the “Greeting to
America.’’ composed for her by Bayabd Taylor,
Esq., intended, no doubt, to "bring tho house down.'
For each of these, Mr. Gf.nin, the purchaser of tho
first seat, paid the sweet sum of forty fine dollars.
At Jenny Lind’s first Concert 8000 persons were
present. The scene was very brilliant, and tho au
dience went into raptures.

immense damage has been done. Tho rain fell in

swept away.
Maine Election. Boston. Sept. 10. A. M.—Tho re'

definite.
TheViret Congressional District, as tar as heard
from, is doubtful, and the vote runs very close.
In the Second Distrtct John Appleton, democrat is
elected by a small majority, or rather plurality.
In the Fourth District it is thought Mr. Charles
Andrews, democrat, Is elected; which will be a demo
cratic gain.
In the Sixth District Israf 1 Washburn, jr., whig, is
probably elected; being a whig gain.

Extract of a Letter from Athens, TENN.-Far-
mera along tho vuley, from Chattanooga up to Vir
ginia, are not only suffering from short crops but arc
now losing all oftheir cattle, such as cows, steers, &c,
from a disease introduced by drovers travelling from
Alabama to Virginia. Tho disease is called the mur
rain, and is spread in tills way: where ever these
droves are put up for the night, the neighboring cat
tle will be sure to take it, and when one has it, tho
rest must all die, as no preventative can be found.
“The disease acta in this way, tho cattle first be
come covered with a peculiar tick, and then in a day
or two die. I passed yesterday from Cloveland to
this place, and could see numbers of dead carcases
lying over the fields.
“One farmer has just lost his last, numbering 1,
head in a week; with another who has 20 or 30,this
disease has commenced and is certain to take the
whole number.
1 1 learn that the crops in middle Tennessee are
generally good. Speculators are purchasing all the
poor hogs here, intending to drive them where corn
is plenty, where they will fatten, and bacon them up.
So we may have bacon, if not hoga."
0*=A telegraphic correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, says a special messenger has leftfor Texas with
the boundry bill, to ask its acceptance of the Legisla
ture of that State.
Ptf'The Water Witch, which made the run from
New York, around the Horn, to San Francisco in less

The Augusta Republic says: The attention of the
Directors of the Georgia Rail Rood, we understand,

U. S. District Couax.-Tiie Marietta Advocate
of the 12th inst., states that the District Court of the
United States tor the Northern District of Georgia,
Hon. John C. Nicholl presiding, adjourned on Tues
day the lOtli inst. William W. Stuart, charged with
embezzeling from the mail, plead guilty, and was

Fatal A^fbay. The Macon Tribune of the 14th
says : Wo regret to learn that a difficulty occurred
at Forsyth yesterday, between Jos. Cohron, editor oj
tbe "Bee," and Ruplius J. Pinknrd, Clerk of the Su
perior Court of Monroe county, which resulted
the immediate death of the latter, from tlio dlsehurgi
of a pistol in the hand of the former.
EtTTlieSt Louis Republican of the 30th ult. says
During the paat three days Government contracts have
been made, iu this city, for the early delivery of 8.300
bags ot superfine flour—the bulk of 4,300 bbls at the
rate of $4 per bbl.
E3PTho Charleston Mercury of Saturday say..
Wo have authentic information from Milledgevillo’
that Gov. Towns will certainly call a convention of
tho State. Doubts of his action had been expressed
in various quarters, though tor ourselves, we never
for n moment doubted, and tbe information was
sought to satisfy others.
Oar River Steamer*.
In our steamboat column will bo found the adver
tisements, among othsrs in various trades, of four
steamers whoso business is on the Savannah River.
The De.Kalb, the II. i. Cook, the Hancock, and the
Oregon, arc employed exclusively on the river and
arc devoted to tho business between this city and Au
guste. The introducti4> of these boats upon our
river is an event of recent octxirrcnco. Years ago,
there were fine packet boats, whoso almost sole busi
ness was the transportation of passengers; while
common unfurolshca boats were employed to stesm
between two flats loafed with the greater part ot tile
produce and merchandise transported over the
stream. For aome yiars back, however, the packets
hare been withdraws, and the only means of com
munication,thave beeu by those unsightly and uncom
fortable towing boats, which had no regular hour
fob starting, and no particular days for reaching their
destination.
Now on Tuesday morning the Cook, on Friday
morning the Haneocl, on Friday afternoon the De-
Kalb, and on Saturday morning the Oregon, leave
punctually at tbe hours indicated in their several ad
vertisements, and aro as regular ns bouts can be in ar
riving nt the advertiswi point. Indeed when wo take
into consideration th« distance they travel, it is aston
ishing that they can be so regular. Two hundred
and fifty miles are accomplished, and the omnibusses
turn out at tho appointed hour to receive the passen
gers, and are rarely dhappointed.
VV e have been on all these boats, and lmvc travelled
on some of them, and can testify to the neatness and
accuracy with which their accommodations for pas
sengers are prepared, and tho watchfulness in their
duties, and courtesy and attention to passengers
which characterise their commanders. They are,
none of them, of that large class, (carrying hundreds
ot passengers, and freights of from two to five
tfibusand bags of cotton,) which are known on the
western waters ;—if they were they would bo unfit
ted for tlie service in which they aro employed.—
They are all, however, of sufficient strength, size and
tonnage, to carry from five to twelve hundred bags
of cotton ; and in thecotton season they do so regu
larly. And they will transport comfortably, from six
ty to eighty passengers, each. For this last purpose
their cabins are fitted up in an elegant manner, and
the stewards are selected trim among the most popu
lar in their vocation; and as isr as our experience goes
are devoted to the business of making every travel
ler feel as if he were in his own house—civil, temper
ate and competent, they awsit and execute yonr c.ohm
mands with a most pleasing promptness; and wo t™
the understewards who areneglectiul in tiiis particu
lar ; for the head steward and stewardess are rigor
ous, even to an amusing extent at times, in their dis
cipline.
It is with a feeling of pleasure that wc dwell upon
tho recollection of our trips on these boats, for we
hove enjoyed aome of the pleasantest hours ot our
leisure in travelling on them, and mixing with the
courteous, well bred people, who are the principal
way passengers. In the winter season the company
is always large, and we have the opportunity oi mix
ing with, and cnjoyiug the society of strangers, ob
serving their ways, and learning many new things
which we con learn only from strangers. And in
summer there are but few, generally, and in a trip oi
from 25 to 30 hours duration (which is their time) one
is sure to become acquainted with that few,— unless
he happcncs to bo one of those unsociable, morose
beings who have no business among whole-souled
people. Then during the day, we arc lounging about
the boat taking short napi, or remarking to our fel
low passengers—for a man must talk to some body—
upon the appearance of the natives at the various
woodlandings, or enjoying their generous hospitality
whilo the boat is “ wooding up." And then after tea,
as they do not allow cards on theso boats, and
whist is consequently prohibited, what is aman to do
but walk round behind the ladies’ cabin, and remind
the pensive young lady who sat next you at table,
that you had promised to relate to her an incident
concerning some high bluff which she jumped up
from the table to see, at your suggestion. Then
if you have an active imagination, you con relate the
story precisely as it occurred, and if you have not,—
why don't go behind the cabin at all, but turn into
your birth, and growl ut the long passage. If your
lady ia a siuger, sing a song yourself, even if you
have to whistle the high notes, and she will sing for
you in return. Or if you can’t raise vocal music, per
haps the clerk will have an accordeon on board.—
Every young lady on tho river plays the accordeon.
And if you can borrow a flute,—for every clerk
plays the flute—you can accompany the lady in a
grand aria. Ah me I
We confess there was no intention on our part
of getting into this last reflection when we com
menced writing a dry, business paragraph; and in a
business point of view no doubt it looks very erratic.
Iiut if we are censured for it, we are just mean
enough to shift the blame from our own shoulders,
on to those of the officers who have uniformly treated
us so well on “ our river steamers.”

To My Child.
Have you not seen the timid tear,
Steal trembling from mine eye?
Have yon not mnrk'd the flnsh of fear,
Or caught tho murmur’d sigh ?
And can you think iny love is chill,
Nor fix'd on you alone;
And chii you rend, by doubting still,
A heart so much your own?
To you my soul's affections move,
Devoutly, warmly true;
My life has been a task of love,
One long, long thoughtof you.
If all your tender faith is o'er,
If still my truth you’ll try,
Alas I know but one proof more
l’ll bless your name and die !

COMMUNICATED.
Among all the evidences of progress in our city,
there is nothing that does her greater honor than the
skill of her mechanics. A more competent cIbbs of-
workmen in the several callings is not to be found any
where. They have been making their way steadily on
ward in spite of tho farce of old prejudices in iavor
of what is brought from afar oft. Nothing is wanting
but a generous pntronage, to enable them to compete
successfully, not only in the excellence oftheir work,
but in cheapness of price also, with the artisans of
any other part of the country.
As a specimen of what they can do, We would call
attention to a French Secretary, lrom the work
shop of Mr. Bognrdus. It is made externally of rose
wood, ot a beautiful grain, .highly polished, and in
laid with satin wood. Tho facing of the interior is
of the latter material, set oft' with ornumcntal work,
in a very tnsteful manner. For its clegando alone, as
an article of furniture, it would adorn the boudoir of
a lady. But this is not its only nor its chief recom
mendation. It has the three useful properties of com
pactness, capacity and safety. The lower part con
sists of four spacious drawers.
Above, there is a lid which opens and shuts upon the
part more properly forming the Secretary, and this
lid, (which, when laid open, may be used for writing)
la a curiosity in itself, os It Becms to possess n sort of
intelligence of its own in drawing itself up to the
sticking point for locking. The interior is lined with
a mirror. Within this portion there is a variety of
drawers, some of which cannot bo opened, or even
discovered, by any but those in tho secret. Jewelry,
money and valuable papers, may be entrusted to their
safe keeping, with as much confidence as if they were
deposited in a sub-treasury vault. They would baffio
the adroitness of tho light-fingered gentry, who have
lately been levying contributions on our citizens
Above on the outside, is another large drawer. The
whole is elaborately finished even in ita minutest de
tails, and does great credit to the ingenuity and taste
of the maker. t
Mr. Bogardus has permanently Becured tho ser
vices of Mr. Englehart, who is celebrated as a French
Secretary maker, both in France and at tho North
and it is only necessary for our citizens to call and
examine this specimen of his skill, to be convinced
that they cannot go further and fare better.

The Growing Crops.—We have been kindly fur
nished by commercial houses, with the following ex
tracts from letters received in this city.
Extract from a letter received in this city, dated
DanieltoN, Beaufort District, S. C., Sept. 9, 3850.
We are now busily picking cotton—owning to tho
lato storm it is the poorest stuff I have ever seen, and
it looks like it was the last of October; the cotton is
done growing and rusted to the top, the crop here
will be short and no mistake. In Barnwell District
1 am told there will not be hall crop of cotton, and
many planters will not make two bushels of corn to
the acre.
Extract of a letter received in this ci ty, dated
Houston County, Geo., Sept. 11.
I have delayed writing to you, that I might gather
as much information in relation to the actual condi.
tion of the Cotton crop as possible. I find that tbe
recent storm which passed through this country, and
which, in all probability, extended over the entire
cotton planting region, more disastrous thin. 1 antici
pated, or you could possibly supposo. The crop was
by no means good before the storm, ns I suggested in
July. The plant was too young anil tender and of
too sudden a growth to retain the fruit it was then
putting on ntthat advanced time in the hot season.—
As you have repeatedly heard, tho storm continued
lrom ten to twolve hours—blowing the cotton in eve
ry direction, bruising and bri aking off the young
fruit and forms; breaking all the lateral roots, leaving
nothing from which to derive nourishment, but the
main top root. Tho consequence is, the weed is
shedding all the young fruit, not being aide to sup.
port it. This is particularly tho case in the counties
south of this, where the lands are stronger and the
weed larger. On some of the better farms tbe ilum-
age is estimated at one-third of the crop.
With all this disaster, the crop of Georgia must be
smaller than last year. I have heard from most of
the middle and upper counties, nnd the crop with on
ly an occasional exception, is much behind that of
last year. Mr. ’s crop last year was one of the
poorest in the county, as you are aware. This year
he planted one-fitth more, and his crop will not yield
more than Inst year, and the crop this year is nearer
an average for the county than last
Every person with whom 1 have conversed, agree
that this crop is behiud the last crop considerably,that
is m this State. Planters, with bat few exceptions,
will hold back their crops for higher prices^nd the
market must open late and prices rule high.

Gzobgia Convention. The Washington Union of e % r bark Gen T , or from Phl] . delphia , C AGrf
Saturday says: “Wo understand that a respectable ••• —- - - - - - —- «*
agent of Georgia, who is now in Washington, is au
thorized, ns soon as a bill pnsses for admitting Cali
fornia ns a State into tbe Union, to obtain a certified
copy of it, nnd transmit it forthwith to the Governor
of the State. As soon ns this is received, Governor
Towns intends to summon a convention of the peo
ple, lay tlie whole matter before them for the purposo
ot reconsidering it, and then to propose a general
convention of the Southern States.”
The Crops in Marengo and Choctaw, Ala.—
In the Clarke county Herald, of tho 4th inst., the Ed
itor says: "We have, within a few days past, paid a fly-
ingvisit to the counties ofMarcngo and Choctaw. Du
ring our absence, wd made particular inquiries about
tbe crops, end learned that they were very short, in
consequence of the drought; in tlie latter county,
edrn on the stalk was selling at one dollar per bushel,
and not much to be had at that price. Cotton wns
opening finely, and tho planters busily engaged
in picking it out; it is doubtful whether it will reach
half a crop; end should there be an early frost, heavy
enough to kill the bolls, it will not reach that. These
remarks apply equally well to this (Clarko) county-
Salt I’etre Again.—Tho ship Elizabeth Anis-
lio has been destroyd by fire at Comsingmoon, in
India. She was laden with cotton, saltpetre and opi
um. A cask of spirits first caught fire and almost
immediately afterwards 1300 lings of saltpetre went off
like a shell, blowing the side oft' the vessel, and cob
ton bales, opium chests and other articles, high into
the air.

a statement made through the Journal of Commerce
te the effect that he hpd agreed to pay Miss Linil a
thousand dollars to secure her presence at his hotel-
Beautiful state of Society in the California Mines.
Not less than twenty murders have occurred within
the last twenty-five days, and robberies are numer
ous. But these wretches have now to leave. We
have forborne with crime until patience has ceased
to be a virtue. Our laws here have been entirely in
adequate, ami demnml much assistance to have them
enforced. Men nnd women seem to be alike harden
ed in crime amlinlquity. A certain inadame, now in
this town, buried her husband, and in 74 hours after
wards she married another. One of our fnirlovely
damsels bad a quarrel with her husband —lie took the
stage for Stockton, nnd the same day she married
another man. She changed her name from Mrs. L
s to Mrs. W e.
