Death of I.onln J.’liilippc.
The ex-king was born nt Paris, ou the Gth of Oc
tober, 1770, and was, therefore, in the 77th year of
Ilia age. Ilia father, the fourth Duke of Orleans, was
descended from tho younger brother of Louis the
Fourteenth, viui became notorious for his dissolute,
selfish, and reckless life. In the revolution of 1789,
he assumed tho title of citizen Kgallte, and voted to
decapitate the King, his couolp, lie afterwards per
ished on the scaffold himself, dying with a stoical
sensuality Which has made Ids name infamous
forever.
Ills eldest son was cducrtrfd under the care ot
Madame Ocnlis, an accomplished woman, who lived
ill tho family of the Duke secretly as his mistress.
She was, however, faithful to her trust as teacher,
and i aught the young prince lessons of prudence,
wisdom, and sell denial. At the age ot 12, Louis
Philippe beckme Colonel of tile 14th regiment of
druguons by inheritance, that post always descend
ing to the eldest sou of the Dukes of Orleans.—
When tlio Revolution broke out, the noble* general
ly emigrated, but tho young prince adopted the lib
eral opinions ot his lather and remained in France.
In 1790 he joined his regiment. In 1792 he was made
u lieutenant general, and in September of that yoar
fought afVulmy. In November, hegreatly distinguish
ed himself at.lemBppes ; indeed, the victory of that
duy insy be attributed principally to him. The fall
of Duinourier, however, who had been his intimate
friend, and the execution of hit father, soon destroy
ed the brilliant prospects of tho young prince, and lie
was forced to flee from France.
For some time ho wandered about Switzerland
under au assumed name, It being perilous to be
known even there in liig real churucter. lie was
frequently hi much poverty, and was once compelled
to sleep in a barn, being suspected to be a robber iu
consequence of his homely dress and his want of
luggage, for he was traveling on foot. The hardy
habits in which lie hud been educated were of grout
service to him at Ibis period. Subsequently he
spent some time in Denmark. 8wedenaud Norway,
but finding no European country entirely safe, ho
resolved to embark lor the United States. He land
ed at Philadelphia oil the 24th <if October, 1796, Tile
house is still standing, at the N. VV. corner of Prune
and Fourth, where ho resided. The popular report
that he was so poor as to be compelled to teach
school at Haddunfidd, N. J., is a mistake; for be
brought sutilcient funds tu enable him to live com
fortably, though not ostentatiously, for awhile, and
subsequently he received small remittances Irom his
mother
In February, 1797. his two brothers arrived also at
Philadelphia. Washington, thdh President, received
the exiles with distinction, and invited them toMt.
Vernon, where they spent several days. After tills
the priliccB made a tour to Butfalo, Niagara, and sub
sequently visited New York, Boston ami Newport—
Returning again to Philadelphia, they remained here
savernl months, when they set out for Pittsburg, on
the 10th of December, 1797. The West was then a
wilderness, and the Ohio navigated only by keel
bunts, fit one of those vessels the princes descended
to New Orleans, frequently being compelled, Irom
sickness of the crew, to take n hand at the oars." So
desolate was tho Mississippi, in thoso days, that, be
tween New Madrid^'and Natchez,' a distance of aOJ
leagues, they only met three habitations. From Now
Orleans they sailed to Havana, the purpose being to
take ship to Spain, where their mother had found n
refuge; but this was denied • and, us a lost resort,
they went to England, by way of the Bahamas and
liallfux.
Louis Philippe, with his brothers, reached London
on the 15th ot February, 1890. A reconciliation now
took place between the elder and younger brunch of
the House of Bourbon. The princes continued to
reside principally in England till 1808, when the two
younger having died, Louis Philippa went to Skilly,
where he soon after married Mnria Amelia, the daugh
ter of Ferdinand IV., the exiled King of Naples. The
union wus one of affection, and not of policy, and is
understood to have yielded a felicity rarely found in
palaces. When Louis X VIII., alter tho fall of Napo
leon, was retored to the crown of his ancestors, L, Phil
ippe returned to France, where he regained n large
portion of the immense estates of his family. He did
not however, enjoy much influence at Court. The
elder branch of the Bourbons had always mistrusted
the Orleans branch, and this jealousy still continued.
I.ouie Philippe, in consequences, lived u retired life
tor many years. But, though taking no prominent
part in public ail'uirs, be was secretly courting popu
larity; and such was Ills success that when in 1890
Charles X. was dethroned, tho nation looked to. him
to accept the vacant crown. The intrigue by which
Louis Philippe obtained royalty, promising to rule us
a liberal monarch, is well known, ns is also his treach
ery utter obtaiuingtho crown. For nearly eighteen
years he contrived to maintain his position, partly by
force, partly by subtlety, till the revolution ot 1848,
deprived him of power even more unexpec.edly than
he had obtained it. Since that period he has resided
in England. His exile probably hastened his end,
though at bo udvaitced au age, he could not have sur
vived much longer.
The character of Louis Philippe may be doduccd
from this career. lie sacrificed every tiling to po
licy. There was no such thing ns honesty or sin
cerity in the men; ho never could have died for u
principle; and tho urts of intrigue were more accep
table to him thnn a straight forward course. JJo
was a bruve man. ns his conduct nt Jeinnppes, and
his coolness during many ntiempis to assassinate
him, profe. In his domestic relations he was kind!
affectionate and of simple habits. Prosperity did
not Intoxicate, nor adversity depress him ; but lie
bore both w»th the calmness of an equal ami iliscip-
lined mind. As King of tlio French lie was not
■without patriotism—ho did much to adorn Paris,
and enrich tho public galleries ; and in his endeavors
to preserve peace, he was governed as much liy the
interests of his native land us by his own. ltut bis
amhition was to perpetuate his dynasty, and lor this
he sacrificed honor, the good of his pooplc, and, us
events prated, his limiily interests and his own life.
Had Louis Philippe honestly carried out the pro
mises, made when he ascended the throne, lie might
to this day have been living, and living as Kiug of
tho French. It is true his path was surrounded by
difficulties. But a straight forward coarse might
have removed these, wl He a circuitous arid treach
erous one was sure, ns facts have proved, to Inc rosso
them. If Louis Philippe had regarded the true in
terests of bis peoblb, he would, even If he had fallen
a victim to revolution, have earned the applause of
posterity; but having consulted his own selfish ad
vancement, and broken tf>£ moat solemn pledges in
doing so, his name can never be regarded with rever
ence, or even respect—Phil Bulletin.
Arrival of the U. S. Skip Eric.—The Turkish En-
ruy—The U, S. store-ship Erie, VV. D. Porter, Lieut.
Commanding, arrived ut New York on Thursday
morning, from Constantinople, na anmmnced by tele

Largest Circulation in the City! J
A Handsome Phesbnt. We take pleasure in ac
knowling the receipt of a pair of Kid Gloves from
our friends CunnxLL Sc Bonos. They are of a very
superior quality and fit us a glove should fit, hand-
somely. We presume they arc fresh from the mint,
and that they came passenger* with tliu extensive and
splendid stock of new goods, which, as will bo seen
by their advertisement in another column, Messrs.
C. Si B. are now opening.
Arrival of Locomotives—Commercial Proa,
perlty of rinvanmth.
The schooner Kensington, Capt. Foster arrived
here Ycsterdny from Boston, making the passage in
the extraordinary short time of Jive, days ! Tho enp
tain informs us that he had a still blow of wind during
the entire passage. The Kensington bas on board two
LocomotiveEngines.numed, ‘-The Macon," and ' The
Augusta," intended for passenger trains on tho Cen-
trul Kail Road. They wore manufactured at the Bos
ton Locomotive Works, and arc represented ns high
ly finished pieces of workmanship. These engines
will be placed upon our road without delay, and
will be iu readiness to convey to tho interior the pas
sengers which our now line of steamers will bring to
our port. *
Thus are we quietly but steadily a.lvuucingjin a
system of local,maritime and internal improvements,
which is destined to exert u powerful influence upon
tho commercial prosperity of Savannah. With n line
of steamers between this and New York, a •regular
line of Liverpool puckets, and our increased river and
rail road tacilitie* for . reaching the interior, what is
to prev. ut Savannah from becoming tho grent com
mercial mart cf our section. Already tho subject is
attracting the attention of commercial men in upper
Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama, who are becoming
sensible of the advantages which a commercial inter
course with jus otters to them, and are reudv to co
operate with our merchants, in building up the com
mercial independence of the Soutii. Tile Huntsville
(Ala.) Democrat alluding to a late article of ours on the
subject, has the following:
Our Southern Atlantic Sea Ports.—A Intc.Savannah
Morning Atlas, represents that the Full business is
commencing with -indications in favor ol u very
large trade’'—that within live days some twenty ves
sels hud arrived laden with immense stocks ut dry
goods, groceries, und pluntutiagr supplies—and tout
healers in the interior can be •wuplied on as liberal
terms hs in any other Southern market. It repre
sents that tile tHCihcies of trade with the interior ol
Georgia, as well as portions of Tonus joe uud Alu-
huuiu, ure daily increasing, and the Suvannuh mer
chants iiuve felt this fact in tlio increased demand,
and have prepared to meet it.
This fact is ulso shown, with regard to Savannah,
Charleston and Augusta, in the increased number of
advertisements ol business houses in those cities, to
be tound in our columns. We are happy to see these
o.’idoiiees of increasing commercial intercourse be
tween the interior aim Riur Southern sea ports, and
the semi-sea purt city oi Augusiu. Wo trust that the
inducements offered tor reciprocal trade muy con
tinue to increase, until Southern inferior merchants
may find it to their interest to lay in their supplies in
Sothern cities, and cease to make their biennial visits
to the South-hating North. Wo wish tosee tlio Soutii
as wholly iiidepcndont of tho North, iu a manufactur
ing and commercial point of view, us she is agricul
turally. Let this time arrive—uud to hasten it wo
wish the citizens ol the South would resolvo Lhat al
tar a certain fixed period, they will uot buy goods
purchased in u Northern murket—let this time arrive,
wo say, und the South would have her due influence
iu equalizing the operations 01 tile government, in the
collection uud disbursement of the revenue, uud in ar
resting tiie assi.ulis of fanaticism upon her institu
tions. Huvu our merchants ever tested the Southern
markets ! if they have not, wo trust that they will
not long delay it.
The Mystery Explained—We published some
six weeks ugo, an uccoulit of what was considered a
singular phenomenon in the vegetable world, which
had made its appearance iu tho cane thickets in
vaifcus parts of Tennessee, where tiie cane wus lound
to bo covered with fruit resembling wlieut. This wus
supposed tb be a liybrido generation from wheat,
and naturalist^ were puzzled to account for so singu
lar -« freak of nature. jY correspondent of the Knox
ville Register, Ilia paper from which we took the first
account, thus explains the mystery : “ it is,'’ says he,
“no engonderment from wheat, but simply the pro
duction of tho cane itself. I have seen come of this
“cane wheat,” and it is nothing in the world but the
natural seed ot the cane. The crundaria macrosper•
ma, of which there are two varieties, arundo recta und
agigantca, (Elliot, p. 91), vol. 1,) is a plant which
flowers and seeds only at long intervals; agigantca
the large variety, onceiu twenty or twenty-live years!
The a recta fructifies irregularly, sometimes once in
two, lour, six and even nine and ten years. A doscrip
tion of this pluut may also be found in Michaux, p. 74.
vol. 1, and Walter, p. 81.”
IdfP Abby Folsom bus sent Jenny Lind an invita
tion to ho present nj un anti-hanging meeting, and
sing between (he speeches. It is to be hoped Jenny’s
good sense will keep her out of such company.
Death of Caft, Vincent.—Capt. II. E. Vin
cent, an old and respectable citizen of Charleston,
died an Saturday evening at his residence in that city.
Capt. Vincent was for many years a ship master
in Charleston, but more recently hud engaged in the
business of Ship Chandlery.
EF The Archduchess, mother of the Grand Duke
of Tuscany, arrived at Rimini on tho 12th, to udore
the miraculous painting of the Virgin (that which is
said to more its eyes,) and presented to it two dia
mond bracelets and several hundsful of gold coin
E3P Amongst the newest inventions are swim
ming stuckings, acting on the same principle as the
webbed feet of aquatic birds. They were tested by
oue ot the members ot the British Association, who
by theiraid, swam with ease from New Haven to
Leith harbour, nguinst tido.
S3P* In the wurorooms of a celebrated Parisian
goldsmith there are now exhibited a crown,a sceptre,
a wand of justice, und a sword ot state, manufactur
ed expressly for the Emperui of Hayti, at a cost of
nearly .'229,099. If Burnurn could munage to catcii
him 1
ivP’’ From China there is a very interesting re
port, to tho eflect that the Emperor is about luniiully
to tolerate Christianity in his dominions.
Execution of Indians. Five Indians were ex
ecuted in Oregon city on the ad of June last for the
murder of Dr. Wniteinan and his family. It seems
that the Indians were incited tu tho murder by their
aupersticious feelings. The small p >x was raging
ton great extent iu the territory, and Dr. W hiteman
did not meet with as much success iu the treatment
of the Indians as ot tho whites, owing, no doubt, to
the difference in the manner of living between the
two races, aud the consequence was that the former
suspected him ot administering to them “bad uied-
iciue,” and he and his family fell victims to their su
perstitions.
Slates among the Mormons. A California corres
pondent of the Boston Traveller says :
“It may not be generally known that quito a large
number of slaves are now to be tound among the
Mormons of Balt Lake, introduced into that commu
nity by Southerners who have connected themselves
with those people from time to time.”
We don't believe a word of this statement. We
doubt very much if any southern people have joined
the Mermans. A Southern Morman would, so far as
our experience goes, be a new tiling under the sun.
Mr. Barringer, Minister to Spuin, denies the indig
nities said to have been oflsred him by the Spanish
authorities.
Tub Fugitive Slave Bill.—The N. V. Tribune.
docs not believe that the bill whirh was passed on Sa
turday, as introduced in the original bill, will amount
to much in practice,us the laws wore stringent enough
already. It doubts, however, whether Commission
ers enn be tuun-l vvho will fulfil its requirements In
some sections, and does not suppose that five more
slaves will be caught under this, than uuder the old
law.
YVe share in the doubts aud suppositions of the Tri
bune in reference to the operation of the measure.
The correspondent of then. Y. Express, speaking of
the vote In tho House on the bill, soya:
The majority which passed the Bill wus large, and
was mainly made up of Southerp men, nmny North
ern men not voting.
Wo believe tho bill received thirty-two Northern
votes out of 123 I ..
Religious Revival. The Madison Tieitor states
tha; a religions revival is at present proceeding in
that community which has resulted in the conver-
ei.fii of some seventy persons. About titty have uni
ted with tho churches, and tiie meetings are still in
progress and continue deeply interesting.
L A meeting is to bo held in Macon to-nfghf, for
the purpose of organizing a Southern Rights Associa
tion, in that city. A meeting for a slmilun purpose,
was held in Columbus on Saturday night last.
The recent unconditional surrender of tho public
domain to Free Soil by Congress, is not regarded by
the majority of tile Southern people, as an honorable
and satisfactory adjustment of our sectional difficul
ties, und lew are found in Georgia who are willing to
echo the noDfis ot Northern rejoicing over the con-
aummutiou of their triumph.
DtSSATISFIEDWtTH THE ACCOMMODATIONS. The
Poor House nt Lowell, Mass., was attacked with
brickbats, &c., by a band of foreigners, who were
dissatisfied with the dissipline of the place as extend
ed towards thoir brethren, who take refuge there.
' Amicable Postal Arrangement. We learn
from the National intelligencer that the Post-Office
Department lias received official intelligence from
the General Post-Ofliee in London, that “hencefor
ward nil letters addressed to the United States, aud
not directed to lie otherwise sent, will ho transmitted
by the first packet, whether British or United States,
which is dispatched alter they are posted.” The
British Post-Olfiee has hitherto mailed exclusively
by the Cunnrd steamers, except when the writers
ha ve directed the letters to be sent by the American
packets.
It is officially announced in the New York
papers, that Jenny Lind has determined to appropri
ate the entire net receipts of her visit to America,
however large they muy be, to the establishment and
endowment of a system of tree schools iu Norway
and Sweden. In addition to tlio charitable donations
made from the proceeds of the first concert, she has
distributed #2,500 in private charities since her art
val.

Washington, Sept. 13,1850.
Orders liavo been issued to several Navy Yards, to
lmve certain vessels of war fitted out and ready for
sea upon the shortest notice. At our yard, tiie work
on the Vixen and Water Witch, will be vigorously
prosecuted. It is supposed tliut these instructions
have reference to recent rumors of another expedi
tion to Cuba. jj
fir Messrs. Richardson, Watson &, Co., have
headed the enterprise of establishing a line of steam
propellers between Philadelphia and Liverpool, with
the subscription of $190,909. This constitutes one-
third of the amount required to lurnisb two steam
ships of 2,000 tons each, of sufficient speed to start
oue from either side once u month. The above is the
extent of the plan as at present, but the two will he
increased to four, if the necessities of tiie trade shall
require it.

The Late Fratricide in Virginia. It has seldom
been our lot to have to record a more cold blooded
murder than was committed in Mathews countv day
before yesterday. Capt. Sidney Lane, well known in
this community na a sea enptnin, was cbgaged with
his brother. William Lane, in building a vessel in the
above county, where they both resided. A negro wo-
man living near where die work wus going ou,picked
up seine chips from around tho vessel, for winch of
ten®® Sidney Lane bent her unmercifully. Hie broth
er hearing how badly the woman wua whipped, went
to hie house on Thursday morning, to remonstrate
with him tor such cruel treatment to the negro for so
trifling an offence. He told Wm. Laue to leave him-
that it whs none of his business, and if lie said more
to him about it he would shoot him. IJis brother dis*
regarded tho threat, as no angry words had passed
between them ; whoreuponhe took up n duuble bar
rel gun and fired nt him, one barrel taking effect in
the tace, the other in the body, when he tell to the
floor. Finding lie had not entirely killed him, he
deliberately re-loaded his gun, and placing the muz
zle directly against his breast, shot the load tlirough
his body. Lane then took a canon and crossed the
river before a sufficient posse could be mustered
to take him, and up to tho time our informant left
wua Ht large.
The Washington correspondent of the Balli.
more Sun says—
It is supposed that some further attempt will be
made, at this session, to modify the present tariff’
but any such attempt will be unsuccesful.
1 o say nothiug ot tiie House, it cannot be presum
ed that the Senate, which bus just received an ac
cession of two free-trade Senators, will favor any
such measures. The demands for a change have
come chiefly from those interested in the pig-iron
business, and the manufacturers of cotton fabrics
As to tho former, Dr. Sturgeon showed in tile Senate
that the depression was temporary, uiisin- from
over-production here as well as in England The
other branches of tke iron interest are prosperous
As to cottons, many factories have stopped, and
merely because there has been so much over-produc
tion of these goods that the prices did not keep up
with the enhanced value of the raw material. But
we have exported a lurge quantity of cotton mods
during the last year, and imported some of a"kind
that eair.e ill competition wirh the domestic tabric.
Notwithstanding the statements which I have seen
in the numerous taritl memorials to Congress, the
mporta of the last year have been exceeded iii
amount by the exports; and though public stocks
have been sent nbruad to the extent ot live or six
mil otis during the year, yet the amount of specie
m the couutry has been increased some ten millions.
Indian Outrage.—'l’lie steamboat Gen. Shellds has
been lying Hgrpund near the Choctaw Agency Land
ing. some thirty miles above Vhii Boren, Aik
Slid the crew all discharged but the carpenter and
mate, who were left in charge of her. A few days
since tour Cherokecs, in open daylight, went on
board, and they found the carpenter aud mate sepa
rate, in the two extremes of the boat. The Indians
separated; two gathered upon one of the white
nt-ti and two upun the other: knives and sticks
were used lhe carpenter escaped, got upon tiie
Choctaw side ol the river, and proceeded to Fort
Smith. Whilst escaping hcheurd the cries of the
mate, and uelieved he was killed; but he wus
afterwards tound alive in the wo ds. The Indians
then broke open the snfe, took wlint money tin y
could hod, all the carpenter’s clothing, with some
other valuable property, and then departed.

I he trieuds ot the tarifl'in Congress had a conference
last night on the subject. A?ter a compariam of
view, they determined to offer a proposition, in the
nature ol a declaratory construction of the provi
sion inserted m the civil and diplomatic bill ot 1846
.requiring the appraisers, in a •‘teasing duties, to a!
dupt the average market value of goods, wares and
d , urlu K t!le J’ imr ending June 39th,
1649, under such general regulations, to lie prescribed
by the secretary ot the Treasury,as will insure uni-
term value in the different parts of the United States,
su fleet to the condition t atnodutics shall be assess-
eu on a valuation less than the market value of tiie
arncles in the principal parts of the United States
Able attempt at modification is not entirely satis-
factory to the inumitacturiug interests, but, us it
would be a great improvement on tee present de
struetive system, it is partially acceptable, and wi’l
Sst^a? “ lursu number the friends
it is intended to introduce this proposition in the
m'reran! 1 !““ 'i m 'y' , ' iy ,“ declaratory enactment
m regard to a law already existing, it is believed
that any objection against it ns r measure origina
ting revenue cannot be 1 airly urged It will be of-
leiyi mtec shape ot an amendment to the civil
»,! ! diplomitec appropnation bill, and if defeated in
tne Senate it yvill be tried m the House.
