SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS.... VV E DNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1850. la| TI1E MORNING NEWS. nv JOHN M. UOOFKK. WILLIAM T. THOMPSON 1 , EDITOR T B H M S : Dully Paper, 84,00:Trt-weekly #2.00 AH new Advertisements avotar in both paper*. 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.

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.

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. p „ , , CONSrQNEF.fi"^ 5 Per steamer Jasper Irom (M, [Jertz, Pad el ford, l’ny & pr> r I rerecUrKensingtou,frmnBoaton^’„ ^*1 fs* F&V? 8 Wpe. 8 M Poun ds, el-sham & sun.

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.

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.
