SAVANNAH MOKN1NG NEWjS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1850, i— ffi 1 " 1 11 ■™" r 1 THE MORNING NEWS, nv JOHN ni, eoorRH. #11.1.1AM T. TEblip'sOT^EDITOK TRIM m Daily Paper »4,00:::: t mw«ekly #2.00 .<li new Advertisements cnvear in both papers. From Californio. The steamship Georgia arrived at New-York from Obagres via Uavana on Saturday afternoon, with 330pa«iensers, having left 250 at Havana to go to Mew-Orleana by the Ohio. She also brings #1,100,- 000 in Gold dull. We make the following abstract of her news: F*om Havana.-—The Georgia left Havana, on the evening of the 2d inst. Every thing was quiet on the Island, and Americans were permitted to go on shore at Uavana, without difficulty. The American steam- ers were also allowed to be moored at their docks, A bttter’foeling was manifestly prevalent, and the Lopet expedition apparently nearly forgotten. F*om the Isthmus —Whetl the Georgia left Cha. gres on the 26th of November, the Empire City was still there, awaiting the arrival of the special train, from Panama. The Northerner arrived at the latter .place on the 19th, with $6i)0.000. and the Panama on the 21st, with about #2,500.000, so reported. The Panama’s manifest showed #1,951,194. Two of the passengers of the Northerner recently arrived from Acapulco were robbed of their gold dust at Panama—ono of #3000, the other, Mr. Tuten, of #3 500. Gen. Mosquera, ex-president of New Granada, it is announced, is about to leave Panama for a visit to the United States. The rainy season had set in but Panama was healthy. It will be recollected that Mr. B. R. Harden, son of Bn Harden of Kentucky,disappeared rather sudden, iy irom Panama, shortly after he had received there the revocation of hia appointment of Secretary of Legation to Chill. The paper above quoted says:— On Friday last, as a party of gentlemen Were as- eroding the mount, in in the rear of the city, about midway up hey discovered the remains of a human being. Though there is now no part of that human ■frame left but the bare bones, there is sufficient evi dence to render almost certain the deduction that they are those of the unfortunate Harden. These evi- deuces consist of a letter found in one of tbo pockets, dated Havana Dec. 1849, addressed to Hon. Ben. Har den, Bardstotvn, Ky., commencing “My dear father” and ending with ‘-your affectionate son, Rowen.”— Besides this there were a silk handkerchief, two keys, a knife and part of a silk purse. From the appearance of the ground there is some suspicion that he was murdered. Fbom California.—There had been great rejoic ing in California ovei the admission of the State into the Union. A most lamentable steamboat explosion occurred at San Francisco on the 29th of October, by which a great number of lives were lost. As the steamboat Sagamore, was about to leave the wharf, the boilers exploded, in <tonsequenc»of not being supplied with water,tearing the boat to piece* and scattering masses of lumber and human bodies in every direction. From seventy-five to one hundred passengers were on board, of whom only some twenty escaped with their lives, many of them dreadfully wounded. The Cholera had made its appearance in the city, and several deaths had occurred. It was introduced by a vessel with passengers from Sacramento City. The papers express the belief, that the epidemic will not rage to a very great extent, the climate and loca tion being considered unfavorable to the disease. Business woe not so active as formerly. The Gold mines continue to yield, but fortune* are not realiz ed. Stele bonds and scrip had improved since the news of admission into the Union. The resu|t of the late elections had not been fully ascertained, The two great parties would be nearly equally devfded, though the Democrats would hare a small majority on joint ballot, u matter of some inr portance, as a U. S. Senator was to be elected in place of Mr. Fremont. Indian disturbances continued in the mining re. (ions, and several fights bad occurred. The overland, immigrants had nearly all arrived having endured the must appalling privations. Hun dreda had died form starvation. ter, and partook more of the wild beast than of man kind. An Armenian family wa* massacred, inclu ding the Infant at the breast, and even Turksthem- selves were wounded, because they remonstrated against such excesses. . . . , From Hong Kong, it is reported that the Insurgents are beating the Imperial troops, and are within one hundred miles of Canton. 8ir James Brooke a mis- slon to Slam has proved a lailure. , Prince Dominique Orsini has been appointed Min- li-ler of war to the Pope, in the room of Baron de Knl ertmatten. who has resigned. Moosignor Hil debrand Rossini has been made Director General of Police. Frldny MornlnK.December 13, 1850. Largest Circulation tn the City!? rBf» We Invite the attention of the readers of the Netceto the interesting letter from our California correspondent, published this morning. Second Crop Apples.—A friend laid on our table yesterdny two apples—one a June the other a Horseapple—being of the second crop from the same trees this season. The apples are well matured, and are of the ordinary size of the species to which they belong. They were grown by Mr. John H Brant- lv. Sen., of Bibb County,at his place, two miles from Macon. Cholera in Alabama.—The steamer Isabella ar. rived at Montgomery Ala., on Saturday last from Mo bile with Irish laborers to work on the plank road in that vicinity. On the passage five persons died, and when she arrived at the wharf four more were dead upon her deck; she also put ashore four more who died shortly after, making in ell thirteen deaths. The Advertiser of the 10th, says the people had been much exposed to sovere weather on the pas. sage. No other cases had occurred, and the Board of Health had taken steps to prevent similar landings in future. News by the Asia. Enaland.—The Roman Catholics of England are preparing an audress to the throne, said to have been written by Cardinal Wiseman, assuring the Queen of unalterable loyalty and unshaken fidelity. The fol. lowing story is current .— The Rev. Dr. Jelf declared at the meeting at St Clement Danes, a few days ago the Queen was the flrst to denounce the Pope’s invasion of her au thority “When she heard of it," said the doctor, she at once tent for Sir George Grey, the Home Sec retary, who, on obeying her summons, found her Meje>ty walking up and down the drawing-room in .a State ol great excitement. -Sir George Grey,'said her Majesty, ‘1 am Queen of England ; I will nut bear this.’ ” [Correspondence of the Daily Morning IVetcs.] Milledoeville, Dec. 11,1850.) 10 o'clock, A. M. } The Convention met pursuant to adjournment. Las evening after my communication was closed, the or ganization of the Convention was completed by the election ol Davenpobt. of Clarke, as Doorkeeper; Jesse Oslin, of Cobb, as Messenger. The President announced the names of the gentle men selected to compose the committee of thirty - three,under Mr Jenkins’ resolutions adopted yes terday, ns follows: Middle District— Jenkins, Lawton, Flournoy. Eastern District.—Bartow, Cooper,'Smith. Southern District.—Blackshear, George Wilcox Gatlin South- Western District—Crawford, Taylor, Irvine. Chattahaockcc Dtstrict.-McD.mgald, Clarke. Bivins.

Ocmulgee District—Kenan, Sanford, Meriwether. Flint District.— King, Williamson, Collim. Jilr. Calhoun, of Dekalb, offered a resolution re quiring thatull resolutions offered for the considers tion of the Convention by Delegates, should be re ferred to the committee of thirty-three. Thia resolution gave rise to a discussion in which Messrs. Jenkins of Richmond, Sewabd of Thomas, Kenan of Baldwin, Thomas of Elbert, Hill of Troup, Thomas of Hancock, and Hull of Clarke, partici pated. The resolution was adopted with an amend ment by Mr. Thomas of Elbert, that the Counties be called in their order. Thomas, of Elbert, Babtow, of Chatham, and Cox, of Pike, submitted resolutions which were re- terred to the Committee of Thirty-three. Mr. Wabd, of Chatham, offerred resolut ions pro viding seats on the floor of the Hall for newspaper reporters. Also providing for the appointment of a committee to procure the services of some suitable person to report the debates and proceedings of the Convention. Mr. Meriwether proposed an amendment that the proceedings of the Convention should be printed under the supervision of the President, by the State printer, at the rates allowed by law for public print ing. After discussion, the resolution of Air. Ward, as amended by Mr. Mebiwether, was adopted, and 3000 copies ordered to be printed. I omitted to state yesterday that the President of the Convention was directed to procure the services of a Chaplain during the sittings of the Convention. 12 o’clock, m. The Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning. Kxtraordinarv Scene at aPusevitb Chubch. —During the morning service at the Chapel of St, Barnabas, Pimlico, on Sunday, a large crowd collected outside tbe edifice, huotiug and yell ng and rendered it necessary to close Ihe gates A police force having been sent for,enableu the congregation to leave unm Tested, The mob amounted to about luou persons. —»• The Senate of Hamburgh has declined the invita tion of Prussia to furnish its contingent ot troops as • party to tbe German Union. A council of war is held daily at Vienna at which the Emperor presides. Ireland —Qn tbe 16th Nov. one of the most fear* ful swims k own for many years visited Limerick anditaenvirons— Pint wind blew w-th terrific vio- Sence commencing about twelv o’clock, andeontinu ingwitbout intermission during tbe entire night Several houses were stripped ot the slates particular ly those in exposed situations, and chimney stacks were blown into tbe street in many parts of the city. On the river tbe storm raged with great , fury. Tue moon being a few days past the lull, the springs were consequently at Weir gieatest height, aud as the gale blew from the W. N. YV.. nearly iu a direct line up the river the tide rose to an extent almost unpre cedented iu the memory of the eldest waterman on the Shanon. The waves covered the quays in eome places to the depth ot three u..d four toot, and rolled into the adjoining streets with resistless fury. Ali the shops on the quays were filled with water. Tho brig Hil ton, of London, moored at Harvey’s quay, had her aides stove in, and suffered other serious inju ies in her hull. A pilot boat and several smacks were capsiscd and foundered iu tho docks. It was feared that the dis asters down the rivei were numerous. No lives were lost tn the city, but a poor woman coming to town with milk waa drowned. The Limeric Reporter says ; The appearance ot the Lower Shannon was truly awful. Thu entire country at both antes ol the river was under water to tt vast extent; the embankments being torn away, no impediment was offered to the flow of the waters, winch chafed and swelled as though an angry sea had inundated the land. In tho Upp^r Shannon about Castle Connell, Doonas, Ktlla- loe, anu Lough Dergh to Drcimin- er, the storm is rep resented as having been equally violent itgita effects, so as to stop all communication by water. KilhusH, Nov. 20—For the last two days it has blown a severe gale, and continues Irora WNW.~ Tbe Edmund, of London, lor New York, with emi grants, drove on .shore last night at Kilkei, and lias gone to p eces.

Horrible Murder.—A boy named James Kelly best a colored boy named Cox, abuut 15 years of age, to death, a few nighta since, in tbe jail at Pittsburg It appears that Kelly beat him brutally with a stick, and then pulled oil bis pantaloons and sat him on tbe hot steam pipe, holding him there and continuing to burn, choke ami beat him, till he became insensible; th> n it appears tbe three witnesses first gave the alarm and summoned the jailer. He found the boy h jrrL bly burned and beaten, and the sufferer died of his injuries, about five o’clock on Saturday morning. Correepontence of the Daily Morning News. ! San Fbancibco, Nov. 1, 1850. MR. Editor :—I have to thank you for a file of your journal (recently received. My gratitude is the greater, as wither the Georgian or Republican has reached me this distant outpost of Anglo-Ameri can enterprise In return for your courtesy, I have thought thatOome details respecting this country would not prove unacceptable. It is difficult to convey by meanB of the pen, potent as it is, a corject view of this country, its resources, climate, end inductions. Above all, it is more than difficult to ptrtray, with sufficient force, tho spirit aud energy vVliicli animates tho people. What firstnrrests attention are tho very few wo men and chldren. The next feature is the robust ana vigorous character of the men—whether irom the Northern, Western or Southern States, they seem to be picked iten—such as a General would select for endurance ol the march or hardihood in the field. Very few at? passed middle age, and those of ath letic form. line tenths of the population are men who would irrest attention to tlieir robust sinews and powerful frames. You frequently meet with menjwhoRe firms would tower above Forrest’s, aid cd by all the factitious advantages of drees and stage effect. The characteristic of the people is that o*' indomitable, nergy. This city it about two years old. Previously it waa a mere Puetilo. Within that period it has gathered in its harbor six hundred ships, and within its streets a population of 25,000. Five times desolated by fires each time Animus like, it has recovered from every fall with redoubled strength. It contains some ten Chur ches, five Theatres, several hundred restaurants, and whole blocks of brick structures, which vie in beau, ty with similar edifices iD any of our Atlantic cities. A yenr since, the necessaries of life were diffiult ot procurement, and many cooked their own food; now any one may procure (/or money) at Drlmonico’s, and many other restaurants, as luxurious a feast as the cuisine of New-York could afford. Ice creams, sherry-cobiers, planked streets, gambling Houses, fandangos, bear-fights and balls, speculations, fail ures, fights, and robberies, proclaim that eating, pug nacious, reckless, working, enterprizing man is here with all his vices, and Borne of his virtues. Another feature in the population, ia the apparent insensibility of men to startling events and appalling occurrences. Many have crossed the wilderness to reach the land of promise—others have, for months, been tossed upon the storm stirred ocean, and others have dared the leeB apparent, but not lees real dan gers, tn the shape of cholera and the dreaded Panama fever. The life they have led, has prepared them for vicissitudes ot every kind. Every thing is new, the climate, is strange and capricious, tue pursuit of men earnest. There is no play here; everything is seri ous. Ttie accumulation of wealth absorbs every feeling. Tho sweet charities of life, the softening in fluences of the domestic hearth, are wanting; and the snuggle und contention of men in every avenue of business ia no holiday work. You have doubtless received conflicting accounts of the climate. This is attributable to the variety of temperatures which exist. In the interior you have one of Italian softness; on tbe sen coast, old Boreas, “that blustering railer,” is for half the time puffing away with might and main. The summer in San Francisco, with exception ol the coldest days in sa vannah, is not behind in coolness, your winter months; while in the interioi the Mercury will rise as high as it does with you in midsummer. As to the agricultural resources of the country, they have been underrated. This must prove a great provision, grain and fruit country. It is to the ex clusive thirst for goldi to the desire to grow sudden ly rich, that the failure of many emigrants is to be attributed. They rush hither, leaving their families behind, with only one thought—that oi getting up their pile in the twinkling of an eye, and of then rusmng back to their tiimilies. To him who is contented to thrive by systematic industry, there is no country on earth like California The time is past when fortunes are to be accumulated with the suddenness which attends upon tb s drawing a prize in a lottery. Some few have thu grown rich, but where one has succeeded, shunned have failed. The edict that man was to gain nis bread by the sweat of his brow, holds good here as elsewhere. Still, there is no doubt that a greater amount oi the staff of life, for a given Quantity of the juice, is obtained in California than in any other country; and this is the secret of the indomitable spiritof work which forms the “genius of the place.” Men work hard because they are well paid- Thus the stimulous given to individual effort, contri. butea to the aggregate of general enterprise. Ne. cessity adds her stimulant to tho incentives which remuneration affords. A man must work to live. One may live perhaps comfortably for #100 per month. If accustomed to comforts, he will, to pro- cufe a continuance of them, have to spend double, at least, that amount. There is one characteristic which distinguishes the Special Notices.

Chlobofobm.—The discussion of this anmsthetic agent was continued by the New-York Academy of Medicine on Tuesday evening last, with particular re ference to its use in obstetric cases. The general opinion appeared to bo, that it was judicious to apply chloroform, where the case was painful, except in the very few instances of an idiosyncracy in the sub ject, which made it objectionable, or repugnant.

The influence and position Of a man is not determined by the depth of his pocket, or the amount of his credit at tbe till of a bank. He is estimated for his personal qualities,his talents, ener. gy and personal courage. Many of your nabobs, to whom the expectants of bank favors '• bend the preg nant hingesof the knee,” would be shouldered into the gutter if they did not stand out of tbe way. The two most extraordinary men in California are by no means wealthy. I allude to Capt.SuTTEa and Gen. Pebsifbb F. Smith. The former might have been a millionnre, Hut is as poor os a -church mouse.' Yet none visit California without paying a visit to “old Sutter." As to the latter, his services have made him kuown to the whole country. I was pre pared when we met, to see a frank-hearted soldier but he is m^re than this. Every inch a soldier, he is a gentleman all in green. With fascinating man. ners.an open demeanor, a vein of strong common sense which pervades his whole conversation, he is one of the most fascinating men I have ever known Pity, his name is Smith ! Despitethc name, 1 predict, if his lifeis spared, tbe people will call him to the White House. He ia a Democrat of the first water, and yet so tree from political intolerance that the Whigs cannot but esteem him. Mark my words, if ever 11 s-ldier is called to the Chieffjagistracy.it wilj be Persifeb F. Smith. Of him it may be t -uly said, “lie has no friends to reward, no enemies to punish." He is the man too, who has the manliness to act out that sentiment. Gen. Smith has recently purchased from Gen. Vallejo an extensive farm in the valley of 8onoma, and has sent out for hia family, intending to make California hia permanent residence. There is some excitement here about U. S. Sena- tor. Tbe Legislature, on joint ballot, will be Demo- cratic by a small majority. The two most prominent candidates are F«esiont, the present incumbent, and Weller, formerly of Ohio. From whatl learn, the former stands little chance of re-election. South ern men will go against him by reason of his connec tion with Benton. Northern men will prefer a Northern or Western man. To give you an instance how men go ahead here: >[ou know M .who waa a contractor on the Cen tal Rail Road, and B , a partner in a mercantile house on toe Bay. Well, they arrived about three months since. A fortnight after their arrival, they ob- tallied a contract for . rading a portion of the streets, by which they have cleared #20,000. There are few of your townsmen here I suppose when California becomes an old settled country, the city of Ogle, thorpe will wake up to the knowledge of the fact that such a place exists. Be that as it may, my warm- est aspirations are for the welfare of that good old city, where, if the feta are selfish and corrupt, the many are honest, and patriotic, and LIBERAL UAHTING’S SYIIUP OF NAPTHA.—For xa Coughs, Colds, Consumption, and all diseases of the Chest aud Lungs, For sale bv dec 10 Q.
