Transmitted Expressly for the Daily Morning Fetes.
NEW York, Nov. 30, 12. M. >
Received in Savannnh Dec. 2, 9 A. M. j
Cotton Market.—Our market has experienced
a decline of a quarter (j) since the receipt of the
Europe's news.
Nine lives were lost by the burning of tho steamer
Columbus. Capt. Hollingsworth was also severely
injured.
SECOND DESPATU.
ORGANIZATION OF CONGRESS.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT.
Baltimore, Dec. 2, 9j P. M.
Both Houses of Congress were organized to-dny.
The Message of President Fillmore was communi
cated to both Chambers tit half-pent two o’clock.
The President approves and declares his intention
to sustain the Compromise, and all laws enacted to
carry out and enforce its provisions. He favors Inter
national Improvemdhts— recommends thnt provision
bo made for retired Officers of the Army and Navy—
is in favor of a reduction of postage to three cents
on letters to any point within the United States,
to be pre-paid. He recommends tho adoption ot ad
valorum duties, and a moditication not an increase ot
the Tariff.
The report of the financial affairs of the country,
for the last year la very favorable, showing the re’
ceipts of the Treasury to be Four Million of Dollars
aver the expenses of tho Government.
The Presidents feliciates the country upon the
peaceful relations which weas a nation at present aus
tain with all other powers.
|£gp* An article is going the rounds ot the papers
which states that “Massachusetts has 3,358,887 card
lactoriesl” Massachusetts is a great State, and takes
the lead of allsister States in manufacturing ingenu
ity and enterprise. Nevertheless we must be per
mitted to doubt this statement.
What Does it Mean I—The Now-York Express
of Thursday says:
The Tribune, which on Monday, was dead against
present Agitation, to-day is fuller than ever of llu
matter. It declares THE EXECUTION OF THE
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW “ IMPOSSIBLE IN
THE FREE STATES, ” THAT “THE WHITES
WILL CONNIVE AT AND CONSPIRE TO
WARD THE RESCUE AND ESCAPE OF THE
FUGITIVES,’’ and adds the following by way of
stimulous and encouragement to the nc£umps :
“The fugitives themselves would of Kurse resist
the process, and their colored iriends would gener
ally incite to and aid in so doing—who can blame
them i The law is no friend ot theirs—it does not
secure but tramples ou their most precious rights—
is their enemy, heir tyrant, their plunderer, robbing
them of thbir liberty, family, property and home.”
We have before expressed our fears that the result
of our late election would be wrongly construed by
the abolitionists of thq North. We hope and trust
the action of the Convention may have the effect to
remove'all erroneous impressions from their minds.
THi FUG1TVE LAW MUST BE ENFORCED.
New York Nov 88.—Money is exceedingly abun
dant to-dny and rather easier than noticed yesterday.
There is a good deni of private capital in the market
and also a large amount bfcdpnging abroad which has
not been remitted mainly because of the high rata of
Exchange, and incidentally because it could- be
more profitable employd here than in Europe, it 1ms
been supposed bv many that as soon as Cotton and
other produce bills were in tho market to any extent
remitanees could be made upon terms morendvanta-
geous than to export specie or purchase bills nt'equi-
valent rates,and tiiut supposition has thus far been cor
rect. Sterling Bills have already declined and still
lower prices are looked for by many. The range
is from 108j a 1091, the latter rate for prime bills,—
109 j is the par of Exchange, and the market is tend
ing downward, the balance will'soon be in our favor
In edition to the regular Stock sales at the Ex
change; there is daily quite a large business done in
the lending Eastern and Western Railroad and State
Stocks, which never comes before the public,

Whole number of votes polled 1566.
Pennmanship.—We Invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Jenbee aud
Millab, in another column. Wo have seen some
specimens of the improvement made in a few lessons
by the pupils of these gentlemen which are truly as
tonishing. Those who desire to acquire “a good
baud'' should not lose the present opportunity.
The Isaac Scott.—This beautiful new steamer,
commanded by Capt Taylor, departed last evening
for Uawkinavibe, with a fine freight. She was built
in our city, by, Messrs. Jones St Pafot, and her con
signees are Messrs Brigham, Kelly & Co . This is
her first trip, and we have no doubt she will realisn
the expectations of her owners, and become a favor
itewith the public.
Late from St, Domingo.—Accounts from the
City of St. Domingo, of the 4 th inat., stntethat every,
thing there was quiet. The Government was making
preparations to drive back tho expected invasion of
the Emperor Faustin.
The people of the Dominican Republic are expect
ing an expedition from the United States to attnek
the Haytiena, in which event, a strong force ot Do
minicans will march to assist the enterprise.
Ship Ashore.—Captain Berry, of the ship Silas
Holmes, frovi Near-York, saw a large ship ashore
between Sand Key and Key West on- the 20th ult.,
supposed to be the British ship Erin-go-Bragh, from
New-Orleana, with a full cargo of cotton for Liver,
pool, and a large number of wreckers around her.
Pork —The Knoxville Register, of the 28th inst.
says :—Such has been the amount of pork offered
for sale in our market, (much of which has been sold
at ®4.) that we will not be aurprisad if, before the
season closes, the price recedes to $3 50 per liuudred
pounds. We have already heard ot one or two sales
at $3.75.
Dreadful Steamboat Dinas ter! I
THE STEAMBOAT A. DOUGLASS BLOWN UP.
Twenty Five or Thirty Lives Lost !
The Mobile papers contain accounts of the explc,
sion of the steamboat Antoinette Douglass, while on
her passage trom Montgomery to that city.
It appears that previous to thu occurrence, the
Douglass was lying aground on Tate’s Shoals, and
while her captain was making evory effort to get her
over it, she bursted one of her boilers with a terrible
explosion. At the time the greater part of the pas
sengers (numbering some hundred ind twenty
five) were fast nsleep. The noise instantly woke
them, and those who were unhurt fled to t he deck i*
great terror. The scalding steam rushed through
and enveloped all {Arts of the boat. With greRtdiffi
culty, a number of the passengers, with several of
the wounded, lied in their night clothes to the barge
laden with cotton, which the Douglass had in tow,
This was cut loose from the wreck and went drifting
down the stream.
Fortunately the steamboat Arkansas, was lyinf
about a mile above the scene of the disaster, and
hearing ihe explosion, and apprehending the cause of
it she immediately got up steam and went to tile
rescue. She soon reuched the burning ruin and took
off’those of the passengers who were on it—thus in
all probability, saving numbers of them trom a
watery grave, or, perhaps, a more terrible death by
fire. She lay alongside until the hurrienne roof of
the Douglas was evelopedintlnmes,attheemmi-
nent hazard, it is said of her own safety. Sbe then
drifted down and took oft' those who were on the
barge which was cut loose.
Shortly after the steamboat Wm. Bradstreet came
alongside and offered every assistance in aid of the
survivors, many of whom took passage on board of
her.
It Is stated that there were about one hundred and
twenty-five passengers on board of the Douginas. Of
these wo have accounts of some niuety tivo. The
gthers, it is supposed, were killed either by the ex
plosion, or, in their terror, fled to tho wnter and wore
drowned. The effects of the passengers were nlinost
entirely destroyed. Com. Moore, who was among
them, saved his baggage. The papers and books at
the boat were also lost.
The cotton destroyed is reported at about eight
hundred bales. Including what the Douglass had’on
her barge, there were some fourteen hundred bales
altogether.
The papers give a list of tlie killed and wouqded.
Among the latter we find the name of Mr.N, M.
King, of Georgia. Among ihe passengers who es
caped uninjured, are A. J. Freeman, Hays Jolly
lady and two children, Wm. Roland, Jno. VV. Ro!
land. R McCallisteb, lady and two children, A.
Perdue, E. Pebduk, and Alexander Webster,
lady and child,all 6f Georgia.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Express
Savannah. Nov. 20th.
The State rights or Southern party will succeed in
Chatham, (this County)—the Union party in the State
—but one of the strongest—most determined appeals
will go from the Georgia Convention that eve: assail
ed our Northern brethren. One tiling is ci ' sin—
they will unanimously resolve thut the repeal ufthe
Fugitive Slave Luw—or the application of tl -Wil-
mot Proviso will be the signal for a dissolution of
the Union. South Carolinu will eeccdc, this session or
make arrangements for it—bnt l do really hope that
the respectable poition of the North will keep down
those higher luw men, such as Seward and Van Bu-
reti, or the country is gone. A merchant lias no
business with politics—but in this instance all your
Merchants should put shoulder to the wheel to save
the country from demagogues.
It is most ardently to be hop d that "the respecta
ble portion ot tho North -1 will not disappoint the
hopes of the writer. Upon thoir action, the fate of
the Union is pending.
