Ravages of the Cholera—Fire in San Fran
cisco.
New-Youk, Dec.20,10} P. M.
The steamer Cherokee arrived here this afternoon
with two weeks later intelligence irom California,
bringing half a million dollars in Gold dust.
The papers contain terrible accounts ot the ravo -
ges of cholera at San Francisco and Sacramento Ci
ties. The mortality had been very great.
Another destructive lire had occurred at San Fran
cisco, by which the Eagle Hotel, Galena Hotel, and 12
other buildings, were consumed. Loss estimated at
$40,000. Business is represented as being vei“y

Import op Rail Road Iron.—The Br. Bark Kings
ton, Cspt. Robinson, arrived lastevening from Car
diff, Wa es, with 3,754 bars of Rail Road Iron, for the
East Tennessee and Georgia Rail Road Company,con-
signed to Wat. P. Tepft, Esq.
The Second Shad.—It seems :hat neighbor Con.
Don of the City Hotel is not to be altogether dis
tanced in the shad race. His boarders luxuriated in
a lino broiled shad at dinner yesterday.
By the way, it strkes us as very strange that the
shad are so slow in coming up to be eaten. If they
knew what a “distinguished stranger'’ the first shad
% and had one half the ambition of a Genin or a
Dodge, they would certainly quicken tneirpace;
and if they could but be aware of the affectionate so
licitude with which their approach is anticipated,
they would surely hasten to relieve yearning bosoms
of their anxious and expectant admirers.

Congressional Brides—A Washington corres.
pondent of the New York Miror, says : “At the Na.
tional there areno less than eighty brides—several of
them being Congressional brides. These gay birds
are ominous oi a brilliant season.’’
This is all very well, but the business oi the coun
try should not be neglected for those "gay birds.”
Members of Coogress should appropriate some
more suitable time to the business of bird catching
and bird taming.
Wkalthv Corporation. —The corporation of
Trinity Church, of New York city, is the richest in
this eount'y, aud may be said to be amonget the rich
est churches iu the wortd. Its property is estimated
at from twelve to sixteen millions ol dollars.
Arrest op a Fugitive Slave.—We learn from
the Fayette (Pa-) Whig that the first arrest under
the Fugitive Slave law, in that country, was made at
Union town, on the 17th instant. The slave was
claimed by a citizen of Maryland, and was to have
bad a hearingtyslpre Commissioner Irwin on Wed
nesday last. There wasnot the slightest excitement
on the occasion.
A great dog fight is to come off soon, in a
hotel near Boston. Use dog belongs in New York,
and the otherin thatcity. - The brutes who allow the
dogs to fight, says the Bee, reside iu the same cities,
and each one bets $200 on his dog
Ingratitude of the Republican-
Tile ingratitude of the Republican is only equall
ed by its cool effrontory. We confess that alter
all we have done for the editor in times pnst, al ter all
the effort wo have expended in reasoning him into a
tenoblc position on the Southern question, we wero not
prepnred for such an i ngrateful “fling” as that con
tained in his paper of yesterday morning. When
last summer, he took ground against the Conven
tion, questioned the right of the Governor to call such
a body together, and opposed any ultimatum, any de
claration of Southern Rights principles by the people
of Georgia, in the generosity of our feelings towards
him, we expostulated with him against such a course;
and when afterwards, he opposed the passage of any
resolutions by our meetings in this city or the adop
tion of any platform of general principles by our
delegates, while he labored to convince his readers
that there was no necessity for action, and that the
South had no cause of apprehension or dissatisfac
tion. wo remonstrated with him against so suicidal
apo'icy; and we flatter ourself that we were some
What instru mental in bringing him up to the position
on this question which he now occupies, and which
he so reluctantly assumed. Little did we suppose
then that lie would have the hardihood, the in
gratitude to turn round upon us, and endeavor to
drive us from our own ground. Little did we then
think that our convert would have the unblushing
effrontery to attempt to monopolise the very South
ern Rights Principles in which we had been to so
much pains to indoctrinate him, and to charge us
with inconsistency for defending them. But it is a
trite saying that “Republics are ungrateful.” The
maxim we suppose applies to “Republicans" as well,
and we must not, honcetorth, allow ourself to be
surprised at the ingratitude, as we have long since
ceased to wonder at the effrontery of ou r cotemporary.
Wo fear that the work ot conversion is not so tho
rough ns it should have been,or lie would nothave such
serious objections to our bolding our principles in
common with him. It is to be hoped, however, that
now lie is so well assured ho “is on the popular
side,” lie will become stronger in the Southern faith,
nntil like an innocent “lamb,” as lie calls himself, lie
will feel no apprehension in making bia bed with the
“wolf."
We aro uncertain whether the editor's obtuseness
is real or affected. Whether it is a peculiar disin
terestedness which he feela in the success of the
Morning News, or whotber it is the force of habit,
acquired by a subserviency to party, by which his
mental vision has been jaundiced, and his judgment
distorted in tho practice of the arts and deceptions of
partisan warfare, we are unable to say, but certain it is
he seems to have no conception of the principles by
hich an independent press is governed. Hecannot
reconcile it to himself thatwe should have any opinions
of our own upon the groat questions of the day; and
because we aronot, like him, torced to follow thelend
of some ambitious demagogue, or political clique at
Washington, and to advance and defend their posi
tions, right or wrong, through all the vicissitudes and
changes of great national questions, ho charges us
with inconsistency. Ho is filled with wondr- ot our
somersets, and says we remind him of the “invisible
Harlequin.” He admires our “agility and adroit
ness,” and expresses his utter consternution at find
ing us, as he says, alter our “many attacks upon the
Republican," standing side by side with him.
We are sorry that it has been the misfortune of the
News to be the bete noir of tho editor, and are glad
the.t we have afforded him some diversion to com
pensate for our “many attacks upon the Republi
can." The illustration he has given us is, perhaps,
not a bad one. But he should have carried out the
Bimile. The difference between us is, that while our
gyrations and somersets, like those of the sprightly
Harlequin, are at our own option, and by our own
volition, he, like poor old Pantaloon. the Buffoon in
the play, is metamorphosed at the will of others
and made the sonpe-goat of their innumerable di
lemmas, by the more prominent characters in the
political pantomime.
But we apprehend that it is not so much our
principles, nor our pretnuded metamorphoses, that
disturbs the quietude of the “lamb” of the Republican
We cannot think he has any real objection to our
sharing in his political principles, but there are other
principles and interests, far dearer to him, whieb he
has no disposition to share with us; and it is for this
reason that he has been steadily striving to place us
in a false position before his readers, and to stigma
tise the News as on ultra disunion press. We are
tired of defending ourself from theso oft repeated
misrepresentations of our course, and as the public
will understand arid appreciate the motives of both
journals as they deserve, we are perfectly willing to
let the assertions of the editor pass without further
contradiction.
Opinions' of the Southern Rights Press anil
of the P eoplc.
The Griffin Jeffersonian, one ot the ablest South*
etn Rights papers In ihe State, is out in an article
cordially approving tho proceedings of the Conven
tion. The editor says>y‘ For oureeli, wc are entire
ly enet.sficd, because, in our opinion, the Convention
have done precisely what the candidates on the other
ticket, in this State, would have done, hnd a majori
ty on that ticket been elected,”
A meeting was held in Griffin, on Monday night, in
which buth parties joined in adopting resolutions
approving of this course of the Convention.
The Colutrtbus Times, distinguished, during tho re
cent controversy, lbr its extreme opinions, speaking
of the Convention, says:
While it has gone jusf as far as the veriest fire-
eater could defire, in reference to future aggressions,
it has upset all the crotchets of Toombs and Stephens
and the Columbus “Enquirer," touching the highly
triumphant character of the acta of the last Congress
in respect to Soutfiern Rights. In short, admitting
it as a foregone conclusion that the vast was to bo
forgiven, tho Convention has planted its stakes for
the future as deeply as it could well have been done.
* * * f » * *
On the whole, we fancy wo nre about as Well
pleased with the procecdhgs of this body, as some
of the ultra sort of submtmionista, who are for tho
union under all circumstnoce of aggression.”
Hus the "lamb” of the Republican any objection to
lying down with these “wolves" ? Wo wait to hear
its bleat. ,
A French Tkagedy.—Grant sensation has been
caused in the department of the Charente, bv the
arrest of the Countess duS and of the cure of
the commune ot St. Geriimin, on the charge of hav
ing poisoned the eervaui of the latter, in order tc
prevent her from rerealiig the adulterous connec
tion which existed betwetn them. Tile body of the
servant, which ’he cure hid caused to be buried with
great haste, has been duj up and poison found in it,
wiient the Count du S-—]—. a highly honorable man,
heard of the hrrriblo accusation against his wife, he
proposed to her that they shou'd both commit suicido
and that their child; aged eight die with them. The
Couiite-s consented, A pan of charcoal Was lighted,
and the three fastened iienlselves in a loose room.
Whpn, however, the lather snw his son struggling in
the agonies of death, his courage failed him, and he
broke the window for air. Mediealassiatance having
been promptly nfforded, all three recovered. The
Countess and her clerical paramour were lodged in
the goal of Angouleme, tri await their trial for the
alledged murder.—Qiligntni's Messenger.
Woman Murdered— A young woman, Maria
Kenny, died at Brooklyn, N. Y., on Friday, from hav
ing had her bead fractured by a slung shot in the
hand of a fellow who forced himself into her com
pany on the ferry boat, the wgek previous, and
whomahe repulsed.
J3P - Paper from tow is stated to have been invent-
and made at Berlin, so difficult, if not impossible,
to be counterfeited, that it will supersede all other
fabrics for bank notes, stamps, Ac.
Flax Cotton.—An industrial invention of impor-
I tanca is spoken cf in some of the foreign journals—
W It is a recently discovered mode of preparing flax for
P, the manufacturer, "by which the dilatory, costly and
wasteful process of Steeping is altogether supersed
«d.” The Paris correspondent of tho New York
Journal of Commerce, referring to this invention,
*ays-“Mr,?. Claussen has succeeded in menulac
taring the unsteeped flax into various descriptions of
material wh(eh possess respectively all the warmth
of wool, the softness ot cotton, and the glossiness of
eilk, and which, to the eye and the touch, are identi
cal with those fabrics. Arrangements were in pro
gress for making, in Manchester, experiments on
large scale with regard to the value of Chevalier
Claussen’« mode of adapting the flax fibre to the cob
ton machinery."
ET The Anti-Papal Movement in England is the
main subject of comment in the English papers. Lon
don badadded to iu already numerous pronuncia
men to*, during the week ending Nov. 30th. by a great
outburst at Guildhall. Scotland is also stirring,—
Resolutions denouncing the Pope as the man of sin,
were passed in the General Assembly in the Scottish
capital by acclamation. It has been announced
officially th-t her Majesty receives with very great
satisfaction ail addresses presented to her against the
late bull of the Pope. Mr. Hume, a liberal member
of parliament, ridicules tho idea of the clergy of the
Church ofEngland pretending to be alarmed at the
proceedings of the Catholics, and declares that the
Church has much more to fear from the Anti-State
Church Societies,whom this movement will strength
en, than from the Pope’s bull.
. From Turks Island—Tho schooner Tremont,
Captain Mitchell, arrived at New York on Sunday
from Turks Island, whence ahe sailed on-tbe3d inst
There was no salt to he obtained either at Grand
Turk's or at Salt Key, when the Tremont left. Seve-
■ml vessels that had come to take cargoes to New Or
leans were obliged to leave without them. The Tre'
wesS was obliged to go over to the East Harbor, on
the Caicos, U> procure a cargo, and there was a very
Httieieft when she sailed. Owing to the great quail,
tity of rain which has fallen lately it was not expect,
•d that anymore would be made before March or
April. ■

Curious Revenge—Or. How a Woman Lost a
Beautiful Leg.—The London Lancet, of July,tells the
following extraordinary story:—
Late one evening, a person came into our office,
and asked to see tne editor of the Lancet. On being
introduced to our sanctum,bepiaced a bundle upon
thp table, from which he proceeded to extract a
very fair and symmetrical lower extremity, which
might have matched “ Atlanta’s bettnr part,’ ’ and
which had evidently belonged to a woman.
“There,” said he, “is there anything the matter
with that leg! Did you ever see a handsomer? What
ought the man to be done with who cut that off ?”
On hearing the meaning of these interrogatories
put before us, we found it was the leg of the wife of
our evening visiter. He had been accustomed to ad
mire the leg and foot ofthe lady, of the perfection
of which be was, it appears, conscious. A few days
liefore he had excited tier anger, and they had quar
reled violently, upon which she left the house, de
claring that she would be revenged on him, and that
he should never again see the object of his admira
tions Tiie next thing he heard was, that she was a
patient in tho hospital of , and had her leg am
putated. She lmd declared to the surgeon that she
suffered intolerable pain iu her knees, and begged to
have the limb removed—a petition rh e surgeon com
plied with,nnd thus became the instrument of her
own absurd revenge upon her husband.”
