SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS......MONPAY. SEPTEMBER 16, 1350. THE MORNING NEWS. BY JOnN M. COOPER. William t‘. Thompson, editor T K a M •: Daily Paper, #4,00:::::Tri weekly, $2.00 All new Advertisements appear in both papere. Buffalo. 8mA 7.1850. 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. O AVAST SJAEIo Monday Morning* September 16, 1850. Largest Circulation in tbe City!! I North of Charleston yesterday morn* 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' Washington, Sept. 12, 1850. Tho bill extending Now Orleans harbor passed the House to-day. Cant. Davis, of Missouri, has been appointed Chief Clerk of tho War Department. Congress to-day paid a tribute of respect to the deceased Dr. Nos. a member of die House from Penn sylvania, and then adjourned. EF*Noi lng. . 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. Tho fii st number of a French paper, La Ga tette Francaise, made ita appearance in Boston on the 7th inst. SACKVII.LE.Scpt. 10—10 P. M. The Storm. The storm of Sunday night, from all accounta,has been very severe, and it is feared that immense damage has been done. Tho rain fell in torrents Rt Novascotia, and part of the town has been swept away. Maine Election. Boston. Sept. 10. A. M.—Tho re' turns from Maino are yet only partial, and rather in' 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. In tho S6 v «ith District, Mr. James 8. Pike, whig, gams 148 on the vote of 1848. ® Ties!! rn < i!i! rn ! .morally indicate the election of Mr. John Hubbard, the democratic candidate for Gov- 13ri| II ins < L°saysr Ci,UP ~ The ch « r ^t°n Mercury of We have made up onr yearly statement of the total receipts in the United States for the year 1849-1850, by which it will> appear that they amount to 2,099,970 bales, against 2,743,595 bales for the year previous, leaving a deficiency of 644.625 bails. On the receipt ot the New 1 ork statement, generally taken as a stan dard, some slight difference may possibly appear, but not ot consequence enough to invalidate ours in anv material point. * The Cholery—Fire, Ac. MtLWAUKtc, Sept. 7tn.—There have been two deaths lrom cholera during the past 24 hours. The steamer “Nilea” and a warehouse srejust huAlng. 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 than 100 days, loged in one day 325 miles, thus ex ceeding, by one mile, the greatest speed ever made by tbesteamship Atlantic. Such sailing is not to bo beat, Day train between Augusta and Athens.— The Augusta Republic says: The attention of the Directors of the Georgia Rail Rood, we understand, is now bring directed to the importance of running a day train each way between this city and Athens. 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 sentenced to the Penitentiary for ten years, the short est term under the law. 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.” [F ( OR THE morning NEWS.] 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 ! Special Notices. E. R. 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. CITIZEN. Mr. G. P. R. James, the celebrated novelist, will, the Post understands, visit Boston some time during this month and give a course of lectures on Modern Civilization.

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.
