RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA*
Baltimork, Oct. 18,10 4, P. M.
A negro and white riot took place t >day in Phila.
dclphla, growing out of the operation of the Fugltivo
Slave Law.
No very serloua damage was done. In the me
lee a policeman lost one of his fingors, which
was bitten off by a negro. The new lew en
counters a most determined opposition from the
blacks, who are countenanced by the abolitionists,
There is, however, a resolute determination on the
part of the authorities to put it in force, and you
must not he surprised to hear of scenes of violence
and even blood shod in some of the Northern cities.
It remsins yet to bo seen whether the white populace
will uphold the iaw or tho negroes. I believe they
will sustain the former.
Heavy Train or Cotton.—The new locomotive
Kentucky, arrived last evening with a train of twen
ty-five cars, containing 989 hales of Cotton and 26
hales Domestics. This is her first trip on the Road,
and sho drew the train with great cam. In noticing
the arrival of the Kentucky some time ago, we
stated that she was manufactured ntthe Boston loco
motive works. We rany now add, she has proved
herself a first rate engine. It may not be improper
to state, in connexion with this subject, that the lo
comotive force on the Central Rail-Road is now com
plete, end is cqusl to the 1 ncreasing business of the
Road, which has doubled itself within tho last lew
years. Tho Road itself is in capital order, and will
compare favorably with Buy other Road in the coun
try. We question if thrre is a Road in tho United
Btatcs upon which so few accidents occur.
Row at Jenny Lind’s Concert In Ronton.
A telegraphic despatch received by our cotempo
raries on Monday last, i-tlmated that there had been
some difficulty at Jbnny Lind's Concert on Sntur-
day night, in Boston. The New York papers re
ceived yesterday, contain further accounts of the
affair, by which it appears that an immense crowd,
some 6,000 people, attended the concert which was
given in the Fitchburg Station House. Thn room and
corridors being densely crowded, a rumpus ensued,
in which the windows were broken, and several la
dies fainted end were carried from the building.—
Thn accounts state that the utmost confusion prevail
ed, in the midst of which Barnvm came forward and
announced that any who desired to have their money
returned, could retire and apply for it on Monday
morning, whereupon great numbers left the room.
In a card which appeared in the Boston papers on
Monday, Barncm asserts that ho did not sell as many
tickets as the house would hold by a thousand, and
that the noise, confusion, fainting of ladles, breaking
of glass, &c, which took place, were the result of
the “unmannerly conduct of those who had tickets
and got in first." Hejofi'ers to refund the money to
those who did not get in. Miss Lind is said to be
deeply aflected by the occurrences.
The Boston papers ere divided in opinion as to the
causes of the disturbance. Some denounce Barnum
in good set terms. Others defend him. In tho streets,
however, he is abused without stint
Mr. Barnum denies, in his card, the statement liith-
ei to made, that there has been the least falling out
between him and Miss Lind, but avows that she
hns hitherto treated him with the utmost considers
lion.
Jenny lies something yet to learn of American
character. We hope she will sec moro of ns before
slut makes up her opinion of us. If she will pay us
a visit, (without the guarantee of the $12,000 or
$15,000,) wo will ensure her a cordial welcome and
respectful treatment. She shell have no riotous.de-
monstrations, but' she will have the hearty appreel-
ation of a well behaved and dctceming public, who
we promise will not bore her to death for contribu
tions.
We believe she goes to Philadelphia from Boston.
York paper, |bs production of some unscrupulous
villficr now in ourmidst The letters aro dated Savan
nah, 28th and 30Ui of September, ond wero doubtlessly
written by some lying philanthropist, whoso studied
purpose is to vilify and slandor ogr people, and by
the grosaest falsehoods to increase the prejudice al
ready existing in Northern communities against
our Institutions.
It is proper that our citizens should be I nformed of
tho character of this correspondence, In order that
they may he upon ttyir guard, and that Borne
means may ho adopted if possible to detect the au
thor ; for it is vory evident to our mind that a man
who would write such infamous falsehoods as are
contained in these letters, is not too good to ap
ply tho torch of the incendiary, or to instigate any
.kind of mischief.
r Portions of the letters are too coarse and offensive
for publication In any respectable community, and
wo only wonder thut any paper In New York should
polluto its columns with such .vile slanders. The fol
lowing extracts will givo the reader an idea of tho
character ot tho letters. Wo begin with thn first let
ter dated:
Savannah, Sept. 28 1850.
“According to proraiao 1 will attempt to give you a
description of our city. It la beautiiully situated on
a high bluff, and tho first thing that attracta tho no
tice of the traveler is its beautiful situation and the
manner iu which it Is laid oft'. It contains an abun
dance of shade trees and many handsome buildings
One would suppose that tho city contained every
thing to render its inhabitants happy and comlorta-
bio. But alas, there is a failing and a mighty one.
The citizens generally are proud and aristocratic, or
would be so if they had the means. Thero are few
cities in the United States that conttin, or are cursed
with more vice and debauchery than Savannah.
And why is it ? I will tell you. The people have
elected one as their ruler, that is un unjust ruler.
When a person is charged with an offence, anil ar
raigned before his 1 honor' for trial, his first enqui
ry it ‘from whcnco do you hail 1' The 2nd is ‘ wliat
is vour occupation V And then the last (which de
cides tho offender's fate) ‘are you a or a — 1
If the first, his case is hopeless, as far aa justice is con
cerned. If the latter his chance is good. It trom
the north, he lias but littlehope. Such is the ‘Honor
able Mayor of onr city By this course he encour
ages vice, and l*nssure you there is enough ol it.
In this community, it is unnecessary to say one
word in disproof of the false and ridiculous charges
medo by tho writer against our worthy chief magis
trate. Their absurdity will he a sufficient refutation
in tho minds of all sensible men, at home or abroad.
It would seem that the writer had fallen under the
official notice of His Honor the Mayor, and that his
malice is prompted by a recollection of the punish
ment which he has received. If this ho the case, it
is very evident that he did not get his deserts, or be
would not now be running at large inn community
which he has so basely slandered. Tho supposition
that the writer has come in conflict with our mu
nicipal regulations, is strengthened by the spirit of
vindictiveness which he manifests in his second let
ter against onr City Constables. After abusing them
in the most shameful munner, libelling tho dead and
traducing the living, he proceeds:
“Shame on the officers of Savannah! They are
worse than can he imagined or described. May the
dny soon come when they shall receive their just re.
ward. They are a curse to tho city and a disgrace to
tho State. _ ,
«• To-day is the Sabbath, but I see tho doors of the
rum shops thrown wide open, the streets stream
with drunkards, and disgraced beings—men and wo
men. The law of the State forbids this ; but the law
of Savannah, “which is greater ?'* acknowledges it as
right. The Mayor grants licenses for them to keep
pouring out their “poison," even ou the Sabbath.
Savannah deservos a pestilence of some kind, and it
would he a blessiugif it would come and remove
those that nroelected to rulo over the place. Justice
will be meted outsomeday or other. Letthe negro
become drunk and he wlio gives him the poison lor
the small aum of three cents escapes Justice; nut the
poor negro 1 walk with me to Jail, to-morrow, and
there witness a sight that none hut fiends can perpe
trate. Seohira tied, with his arms atrctchcd to a
windlass or rope until tho Bkin almost separates.
Then sec him who iB to administer justice; hear tho
lash as it rings; and see the flesh laid open I 1 his,
this is justice in Savannah, where the people profess
to bo Christians! Where is the rumsellert He
“pays for his license,” and must bo let alone I Grcut
God! whut a conscience some persons have !
“Our couple still enjoy lile und go to church reg
ularly. The old man will hear of it soon, and then
farewell world, with him. Walton."
Such nre the letters written from this city for
Northern publication. It may be said that their ut
ter falsehood and absurdity render them harmless.
To some extent this is the fact. Nevertheless, they
are calculated to prejudice the mind, of tho less in
formed at tho North nguinst us, and to increase their
already deep rooted hostility against our people and
institutions. But we have given them place for still
another reason. Tho writer of such letters is a
dangerous man in our community—he is capable of
doing'much harm, and should, if possible, be de
tected and expelled from our midst. He is perhaps
an emmissary, and even now engaged in carrying
out tho dangerous machinations of his confederates.
Tno publication of the above extracts may lead to
his discovery. We hope they will. Who is “our
couple,” who “still enjoy life and go to church regu
larly I" and who is "tho old mau <" These allusions
may afford some clue to the identity ot the writer
who signs himself "Walton."
Commercial.
.Saturday last, on suspicion of having poisoned his
own family. On Friday night last, after supper, al)
who had partaken of tho tea or milk were seized
with sudden fits of sickness. Doctors were immedi
ately called In, and after due examination, pronounc
ed the family poisoned. A stomach pump was then
procurod and applied to tho persons aflected. 1 he
family,consisting of Bridget Hahn, tho wife; Mrs.
Mary Winn, her sister ; John Hahn, the son, a boy
about fourteen years of age, and a domestic named
Bridget Phalun, wero pronounced out of danger,
with the exception of the boy, who is still laboring
undor tho effects of tho poison. It appears that
when the father sat down to supper, ho refused to
drink cither the ton or milk, on account, as ho said, of
the disagreeable taste of both.

pool murket closed very firm at tho Europa’s quo
tations, with very fuirsalos during the week. These
accounts, with tho very light receipts from tho
interior of our state, and continued tsvorable news

with good daily sales, and on the filler qualities fully
an 3 cent higher prices have been paid, than the

Macon and Westeiin Railroad. Tho Dlrec
tom of the Macon and Western Railroad, says the
Griffin Jeffersonian, are putting the road in thorough
repair, taking up the old bar iron and laying down
new sleepers and a stout and durable U. iron in its
place. The workmen nre now progressing between
Griffin and Jonesboro. A lino new brick Depot
House has been built at Griffin, a new turn-table will
he built, und everything appertaining to the road bo
put in thorough repair. The Railroad connection 11 1
Macon appears also to be in a train likely to bc t-fleet
ed in a short litre. It is said |the Railroad Compa
nies offer the corporation of the city of Macon the
sum of five thousand dollars per annum in perpetui
ty, for the privilege of a connection and general de
pot in the eity. The city authorities have appointed
a committee to consider of the proposition, who are
expected to rep ort at an early day.
When these plans are nil completed, they will make
the rente by Savannah to the North very commo
dious again, und as it is the nearest, thn travelling
public will not fail to BTnil themselves of its advon
luges.

been but six weeks in this country and has given six
teen concerts, which have produced say 8160,000,the

is divided between her and Mr. Barnum. Within
this short spaco of time, she lias given iu the way of
charities, to New York Societies $10,000; to Boston
Societies 7,255 ; and to Chicago Swedish Church,
1,000; in nil $8,255—to say nothi'igof her private
w. n i m9 givings, which are understood to be neither
■ few nor far between(in this respect alone unlike
angels’ visits.”)
