. * The Brunswick Rood.
The following letter from 44 A Traveller,” address
ed to the editor of the Courier, will be read with in
terest, as fornlshlng practical evidence of tbo pro
gress of the Brunswick Railroad. We won politely
furnishRd with It for simultaneous publication with
our cotemporary. Wo shall oertainly take pleasure
in recording &U such evidences of good faith on the
part of th\ projectors of this enterprise, and also
congratulate the people of Brunswick, and those on
the entire line of the road, over the advantages and
beuedts to be derived therefrom:
2b Me Editor qf Me Savannah Courier, Bn j—It afford* me
much gratification to communicate to you, the fact that on
Tuesday the first trial of the nemlocomotire waa made over
five mile* of the Brunswick Railroad.
The citizens and strangers in the city accepted the pub-
11c invitation of Messrs. Collins and Alexander, tho contrac
tors, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, fur
nished with seats on the open ears, made the excursion.—
The Road, so far as it is completed, exhibits a fine specimen
of the skill and ability of the contractor*. Iron weighing
sixty pounds to the yard Is laid upon the cross ties, dis
pensing with the use of stringers, equal to a saving of five
hundred dollars per mile.
Every one who participated felt delighted, and inspired
with renewed confidence in the success of this great and
important enterprise. On the return of the cars to the de
pot, Levi S. D’Lyon, Esq., who was invltod on tho occasion,
was particularly requested and urged to address the assem
bly, to which request he responded in an appropriate and
welt delivered speech, which was well received, and much
applauded.
On the succeeding day, at 4 o’clock P. M., ihe now and
splendid steamer St. Johns, arrived in this port, in beauti
ful style, with colors flying, and a flue band of muaio, as
cending the river for a short distance.
On her arrival at the wharf, the Contractors addressed to
Capt. Freeborn, a polite invitation for himself, passengers
and crew, tc accompany them on an excursion over so
much of-the Roiul as was completed, and to take a glass of
wine, The invitation was readily accepted, andwith their
fine band of music they reeaired to the depot.
The ladles, citizens and strangers in the city, assembled
in greater numbers* and at the sound of the whistle, the
engine was again in motion. The scene became interesting
And its novelty in that section of country, filled every heart
with gladness and rejoicing. The ride was an easy and de
lightful one. The day was fine, and added much to the
pleasure of all who participated. Arrivod at the Flvo Mile
Station, Major Edwin H. Bacon, of Savannah, belngpresont'
was loudly called for, and requested to address the people.
Major Bacon then, without a moment’s notice, promptly
responded in an admirable speech, which elicited rounds of
applause. Among the many good things said by him, ho
remarked that“ humbugs were generally found on paper—
that there could be no humbug In laying a track of iron
rails, weighing sixty pounds to the yard.” Major Bacon en
couraged, by his remarks, the Brunswick poople to press on
in their enterprise, which, he said, would not only be felt by
Brunswick, by Georgia, but the whole world.
After a delay of a few minutes, the beautiful ongtno was
roversod, and the party returned to tho city, highly grati
fied at their bright and growing prospects. On the arrival
of tbo cars at the depot, Colonel Edward Tatnall Sheftall f
of Iauren* county, was callod upon for an address. Unex
pected as the call was to him, he readily complied, and en
tertained his hears in a neat, pertlnont and eloquent speech,
•which was wall received. The party then adjourned to
tho Oglethorpe House, kept in fine style by Mr. Wood, where
tboy were refreshed with an abundance of well iced Cham
pagne, until the moment of the boat’s departure arrived.
Many toasts were drank, aud the party separated with but
ono sentiment—Success to tbo 8t. Johns, the city of Bruns
wick and her noblo enterprise. A Tiuyxuxr.
Tub William Sbabbook.—This Bteamboat has re
cently been thoroughly overhauled in Charleston, fife
ted with a new boiler, and re-furnlshed throughout,
rendering her in all respects equal to now. She re-
Burned her trips on Friday morning between Charles
ton and this city, having left the former port at 7 A.
M., via Beaufort, Port Boyall Ferry, Boyd's Landing,
Hilton Head and BlufRon. Hor popular comm&ndor,
Capt. Puck, and all concerned In thus contributing to
tho accommodation of tho pnbllo, well deserve the
success which will doubtloss reward their enterprise.
Repair* to the Mktamora.—In consequence of
uomo slight repairs being necessary to this boat, she
did not leave for Charleston on Friday morning. Bho
will be detained but one day.
Njtw Cotton—The first bale of Sea Island Cotton
of tbo now crop was received in Charleston, on Wed
nesday last, by the steamer Florida, Captain Surtts,
from the plantation of Major John E. Tuton, Hamil
ton county, Middle Florida, consigned to Messrs.
Tunno, Pinokney A Co.
The now steamship Tennessee, the consort to the
Palmetto, tor the Baltimore and Cbarloston lino, was
launched at half-past three o’clock on Wednesday, at
Baltimore, In handsome style.
Tike August* and Waynesboro* Railroad.
Yesterday evening we bad the pleasure, in com
pany with a number of gentlemen, guests of Messrs.
Finn A Osmond, tho enterprising contractors for the
first twenty .miles of this road from this otty,of a ride
out as tax as the road is completed, near ten miles.—
The trip was a most agreeable one, the plealure of
which was not a little enhanced by the very hand
some collation which they had prepared for the occa-
tion. To us it was a source of much gratification to
observe the excellence of tbe road, equalling, wo
think, in all the requisites of a good road, tbe best In
tho opuntry. It is, apparently, very substantially
bailti and aasmooth as any road wo overpassed over
inanyseoUon ofthe Union.
There remains yet abont thirteen miles of the road
to he oompleted, all bat one mile of which is graded,
and refcdyfor tho timber and iron. Messrs. FT AO.
have some ten pities of tbolr contract to complete,
and theyato now laying downamiloa week, and it
is expected the remainder will be finished as soon as
IhelrV, or at an early day thereafter. We may, there

Progress of tbe Srmlt 8to Marie Canal.
Wo learn from tho Lake Superior Journal that tho
work on the canal is progressing very rapidly. The
force of tho contractors has all been concentrated
thi look sites. About two hundred men are now at
work on tho upper look, and evory day shows a deci
ded progress. The excavation', at its lower end, Is
within twenty-four Inches of. tho bottomland one
week of fair weather will ; probably see one-third of
tho look ready for laying down, tuo foundation tim
bers, which is the last preparatory work needed be
fore commencing the massive walls.
The balling wheel pit is sunk to a depth of 18 feet,
and is to go some where lower. The last five feet of
it has been composed or solid, hard red sandstone in
layers of a foot or more in thickness, which is a sure
indication that a part, if not tho whole, of tho lower
lock bottom will be of tbo Borne material, which will
be far better than was feared might bo found. The
company have purchased a powerful steam tng, which
is expected here tho coming week with some large
scows, with whloh tho business of bringing stone
from Drummond’s Island will at onco be commen
ced.
Tbo work for carpenters and masons is just com
mencing, and soon there will bo a large force of each
class employed. The first crib of tbo pier at the low
er end oi the canal has been sunk iu its placo, and in
a short time the company’s dock will be doing a live
ly business. A force of about 25 men are now em
ployed in cutting down and hewing timber for locks
ana piers on Sugar Island, 12 miles below this place,
on some pine lands which the company located for
this purpose. The company have contracted for the
facestone of tho locks to bo procured at Malden, near
Detroit, bat oxpect to use the limestone of Drum
mond’s Island tor tho backing, or most bulky portion
of the walls. Every part of the work is therefore now
fairly commenced.
The Pacific Railroad,
This question is hourly becoming more involved.
The prevailing impression that it is now questionable
what may bo tho eventual position upon which the
Administration will present themselves next winter,
is evidently having weight with 44 the party ” every
where. There are thousands whose sympathies with
tho opponents of the government’s connection with the
schome on constitulonal grounds os well as grounds
of political economy, incline them greatly to oppose
the measure, who. desiring to sustain the Adminis
tration, have, until recontly, been checking their in
clination to take position against tho project. En
couraged by tbe oxlsting uncertainty as regards the
views of tbo Administration in this connection, they
are rapidly falling into line against it.
A recent publication from Mr. Septimus Norris, of
Philadelphia, will also serve to strengthen tho oj
Bition to tho government’s connection with it.
Norris has for twenty years past been at tho head of
the largest locomotive building establishment in the
United States, aud has had iuchargo Bimilar works
in Russia, for tho government. Beingthus
tho leading practical railroad man tho world over,
his views are entitled to great weight, and will have
their legitimate influence. Now, no estimates that
allowing but four huudred passengers per diem at
$60 each, the Paoiflo railroad will pay $2,000,000 per
annum over and above six per centum on the $100,-
000,000 the construction of the work is to cost, and
an ample allowance for wear and tear of road and
machinery, the expense of running the trains, Ac—
His calculations seem to have demonstrated past
dispute, that, in fact, stock in the proposed enter
prise will pay at least eight per centum per annum
by the transportation of only 400 possongers per di
em, alone.
The statistics of the travel between California and
Oregon, and tho rest of the United States—fixed and
wellascertoinedfacta—Bhow that many more th&a
four hundred pessongers per diem already make the
journey, at an average cost of at least $250, (instead
of $60) and with a consumption of an overage ofat
least thirty days time, instead of six days, which are
to bo required for the Journey when tho railroad may
be completed. Tho publication of Mr. Norris iB sure
ly destined to be regarded by many os furnishing pos
itive proof that the work may bo safely undertaken
by private companies, without government aid. We
fanoy It will have Infincnco in inducing many, (who
heretofore, were willing to see tho government iden-
tlflnd with the work, only because they behove it to
bo othorwise impossible to build it,) to ebango their
position upon tho question.

Strange Big nr—Seventy Swarms op Beks at
War.—Ezra Diddle, a well-known citizou of this
town, and for many yoars engaged extensively in the
management of bees, communicates to us tho follow
ing interesting particulars of a battlo among bis
bees :
He bas soventy swarms of bees, abont equally di
vided on the east on west sides of his house. On
Sunday, August 14, hla house was suddenly filled
with bees, wnich forced the family to fleo at onco to
tho neighbors. Tho seventy swarms appeared to be
out, and those on ono sido of tho honso were arrayed
in battlo against those on tho other side. They fiflod
tho air, covering a snaco of more than one aero of
ground, and fought desperately for some threo hours,
and whilo at war no living thing could exist in the
vicinity. They stung a large flock of Shanghai chick
ens. nearly oil of which died, and persons passing
along tho road side were obliged to make hosto to
avoid their sting. A littlo after six o’clock quiet was
restored, and the living bees returned to their hives,
leaving the slain almost llttcrally covering the
ground, since which but tew have appeared around
their hives, and those apparently stationed as senti-
nels to watch the enemy. But two young swarms
were entirely destroyed, and asidofrora the terrible
slaughter or bees no other Injuiy waa done. Neither
patty was victorious, and they only ceased on the ap
proach of night, and from utter prostration.—C’oh-

An article recently published In tbe Tenth Legion
of Virginia, says, that in consequence of the agitation
on the subject slavery, iu the last General Assembly
of tho New School Presbyterian Church, which met
at Buffhlo. a number of ministers of that persuasion,
in tho Synold of Virginia, have signed tho following
resolutions, and proposed them to tho other Southern
Synods for adoption:
1. Resolved,/Hnt tbo Presbyteries In tbo slave
holding State* dccllno making any response to the
Inquiries proposod by the late General Assembly.
2. Resolved, That said Presbyteries be folly repre
sented in the noxt Assembly.
3. Resolved, That sold Presbyteries Instruct their
delegratcs to tbe next Assembly, in tbe event or the
subject of slavery being introduced, to propose reso
lutions expressing in the strongest terms tho opinion
of tho Assembly,that all fortber agitation of the sub
ject in tbat body la most unwise and improper, and
should not be permitted. And should the Assembly
reruse to sanction such resolutions, tbat tho delegates
from sold Presbyteries be instructed immediately to
withdraw and nnito with thoso from other portions of
tbo churoh opposed to the fortber agitation of this
subject In tbo Assembly, either In a new organization
or in such otbor measures os in their judgment will
be most expedient.
’The same paper says that some 6f theflouthorn
members of this churoh are in favor of Immediate
accession, and. that, possibly, some will take tbat
course, bqt tbat tho plan Indicated In tho abovo reso-
Intiona seems generally preferred.
-The editor of the Buffalo Express has been shown
a new invention for the use of railroads, which Is no
less curious than usefol. It consists of a telegraph,
whloh, being plaood at any station upon a Ono of

Its time, the numbor of can, whether baggage, 1st or

Tho details of the condition of many of the ofllcora
and soldiers at that period, according to history and
oral tradition, wen) melancholy In the extreme. Pos-
seeing no menus of patrimonial inheritance to foil
back upon—thrown out of even the perilous support
of the soldlor at the commencement of Winter, and
hardly fit for any other dqty than that of Ihe camp—
their situation can hotter be imagined than described.
A single instance, as a sample of tbe. situation of
many of the officers, os related of tho oonduct of
Baron Steuben, may not be amiss. When the main
body of tbe army was disbanded at Newburgh, and
the veteran soldiers yrere bidding a parting forewell
to oooh other, Llout.-Col. Cochran, an aged soldier of
tbeNew Hampshire line, remarked, with toots to hla
eyes* as ho shook bands with tho Baron s
"For myself, I could stand It; but my wife and
daughters are in the garret of that wretched tavern,
andl have no means of removing thorn.”
Come, come,” Bald the Baron, “ don’t giro way
thus. I will pay ray respeots to Mrs, Coohran and
hor daughters.”
When the good old soldier left them, their coun
tenances were warm with gratitude—for ho left there
all ho had.
In one of the Rhode Island regiments were several
companies of black troops who had served through
the whole war, and their bravery and discipline were
unsurpassed. Tho Baron observed one of these poor
negroes on the wharf, at Newburgh, apparently in
great distress.
" What Is the matter, brother soldier 7”
" Why, master Baron, I want a dollar to got homo
with, now the Congress has no furthor uao for me.”
The Baron waa absent for a few moments, and then
returned with a silver dollar, whloh he had borrowed.
” There, it’s atl J could get. Take it.”
The negrq received It with joy, balled a sloop which
was passing down the river to New York, and os he
reached tho dock, took offhls hat and Bald—
“ God bless you, Master Baron l”
These are only single illustrations of the condition
of tho array at tho dose or the war. Indeed, Wash
ington bad this view at tho close of his farewell ad
dress to the army at Rocky Hill, In November. 1793:
" And being now about to oonotede theso, his last
B nblio orders, to take his ultimate leave In a short
mo ortho military character, and to bid a final adieu
to tho armies he has so long had tho honor to com
mand, he can only again onor,in their bebair, his
recommendations to tneir country, and his prayer to
tho God of armies.”
“ May ampleiustioe bo done them bore, and may
the choicest of heaven’s favor, both here and hereaf
ter, attended thoso who, under divine auspices, have
secured innumerable blessings for others.”
“ With these wishes and this benediction, tho Com.
mander-in-Cblef Is about to retire from service. Tho
curtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the
military scenes to him will bo closed forever.”
The closing of tho “ military scenes ” I am about
to relate.
Now York had been occupied by Washington on
the 25th of November. A few days afterwards, ho
notified tho President of Congress—which body was
then in session at Annapolis, in Maryland—that as
the war had now closed, ho should consider it his
duty to proceed thence and surrender to that body
the commission which ho had received from them
seven years before.
Tho morning of the 5tli of December, 1783, was a
sad nnd heavy one to the remnant of tho American
army iu the city of New York. The noon of that day
was to witncBB the farewell of Washington—he was
to bid adieu to his military comrades forever. The
officers who had been with him in solemn council,
the private who had fought and bled in the *' heavy
fight.” under his orders, were to hear his commands
no longer. Tho manly form nnd dignified counten-
ance of tho “great captain” waa henceforth to live
la their memories.
As the hour of noon approached, the whole garri-
Bon at the request of Washington himself, waa pat
in motion, ana marched down Broad Btreot to Fran*
cls’jtavern, his headquarters. Ho wished to toko
leave of private soldiers alike with tho officers, and
bid them nil ndiu. His favorite light infantry wore
drawn up in tho lino facing inwards, through Pearl
street, to the foot of Whitehall, where a bargo waa iu
readiness to convey him to Powle’a Hook.
Within tho dining room of tho tavern wore gather
ed tho Generals and field officers to take their fare
well.
Assembled there wore Knox, Green, Clinton, Steu
ben, Gates, and others, who had served with him
faithfully and truly in tho ** tented field but alas I
where were others that had entered tho war with
him seven years before? Their bones crumbled in
tho soil from Canada to Georgia. Montgomery had
yielded up hla life at Quebec, WooBter fell at Dan
bury, Woodhull was barbaronsly murdered while a
prisoner at tho battlo on Long Island, and Mercer
fell mortally wounded at Princeton; the bravo and
chivalrio Laurens, after displaying the most heroic
courage in tho trenches ofYorktown, died in a tri
fling skirmish in South Carolina; tho brave but ec
centric Lee was no longer living, and Putnam, like a
helpless child was. stretched upon tho bed of sick
ness. Indeed, the battle field and time had thinned
tho ranks which entered with him in tho conflict of
Independence.
Washington entered tho room—the hour of separa
tion had come. As he raised his eye and glanced on
the faces of those assembled, a tear coursed down
his check, and his voice was tremulouB os he saluted
them. Nor was he alone. Men “ albeit, unused to
tho melting flood,” stood around him, whose uplifted
hands to cover their brows, told that tbe tear, which
they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke tho an
guish they could not hide.
After a moment’s conversation, Washington called
for a glass of wine. It was brought him. Turning
to the officers, he thUH addressed them :
41 With a heart full of lovo and gratitude, I now
take my final leavo of you. I most devotedly wish
your latter days may be os prosperous and happy as
your former ones have boon glorious and honoraDlc.”
lie then raised the glass to^his lips, and added, 44 1
cannot como to each of you to take ray leavo, but
shall bo obligodto you ir each of you will take mo
by the hand.”
General Knox, who stood nearest, hurst Into tears,
and advanced, incapable of utterance. Washington
grasped him by the narid, and embraced him. Tho
ofliccrs came up successively nnd took an affectionate
leavo. No words were spoken, but all was tho 41 si
lent eloquenco of tears.” What were mere words at
such a scene? Nothing. It was tho feeling of tho
heart—thrilling though unspoken.
When tho last officer had embraced him, Washing
ton left tbe room, followed by his comrades, and pass
ed through tho line of light infantry. His step was
slow and moasured, his head uncovered, and tears
flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to sido
nttho veterans to whom he now bid. adieu forever.—
Shortly an event occurred more touctiing than all the
rcat. A glgautio Botdlcr who had stood by hla side
at Trenton, stepped forth from tbe ranks and extend
ed his hand.
4 ‘ Farewell, ray beloved General, farewell.”
Washington grasped his hand, in convuiaivo emo
tion in both of bis. Ail disclplino was now at an end.
The officers could notlreatrain tho men as they rushed
forward to take Washington by the hand, and the vio
lent sobs and tears of the soldiers told how deeply
engraved upon their affections was the lovo of their
commandor.
At longth Washington reached tho barge at White
hall, aud entered it. At tho first Btroko of tho oars
ho rose, and turning to the companions of his glory,
by waving his hat, hade thorn aBilentadicu. Their
answer was only in tears ; and tho officers and men,
with glistening eyes, watched tho receding boat till
tho form of their noblo commander was lost sight of
in tho distance.
Contrast the farewell of Washington to his army at
Whitehall, In 1793, and the farewell of Napoleon, to
his army at Fontainblcu, in 1815. The ono had ac
complished every wish of his heart. His noblo exer
tion had achieved tho independence of his country,
and ho longed to retire to the bosom of bis home.—
His ambition waa satisfied. He fought for no crown,
no sceptre, but for equality and the mutual happiness
of his fellow beings. No tint of tyranny, no breath
of slander, no whisper of duplicity, marred tho fair
proportions of his publio or private life; but
44 He was a man, take him for all In all.
We ne’er shall look upon his like again.”
The other great soldier was the disciple of selfish

Facts About ths Fbvkrv—A few months ago a
merchant of this city took to his homo and heart &
S utbful bride, and wont to reside in tbo Fourth Dis-
ct. Wishing to live in privacy, he engaged only
ono servant—o fresh green girl, from tho Emerald
Isle. Bho took the fever, and In a few dayB died.—
Another was hired, and shared the same fate. A
third and a fourth filled the vacancy in tbe household
nnd followed in succession tbe sweeping summons of
the same fell destroyer. Following the Impulse of a
natural dread, the merchant went to Mohllo to avoid
the destructive visitation of tbe scourge, and the next
day buried bis young and beantifol bride. Disgusted
with a homo where nought but empty chambers
served to call up tho memories of departed joys, he
returned to tho city to sell out his household, determ
ined to leave a locality to him so suggestivo of sor
row. He diod the next day. When our informant
visited the premises, there was but one living crea
ture there. It was a solitary parrot, swinging in its
lonely cage, and walling unwittingly its deserted
state. Alas, poor Pel!—iV. O. Crescent, 20th.

The NorWslk Tragedy.
Palladium Orpins, New Haven, Aug. 29.
In the cose of Comstock, the conductor of the New
Haven train at the time of the Norwalk tragedy,
which has been on trial during tbe past week at Dan-
burry* thejunr could not agree. They stood nine for
acquittal, and threo for conviction, as near as could
bo ascertained.
They were again sent out, and were to return a ver
dict at li o'clock to-day.
Bomo or our newspaper contemporaries aro exert
ing themselvoB, in ahighly creditable manner, to re
lievo the distress in New Orleans, by making their
offices the Bureaus of collection, where monies are
received and 'promptly forwarded. This Is generous,
noble, praiseworthy^ But when these same contem
poraries occupy a ha\fcolunpj. daily, in their papers,
with accounts of what, they have done, and are do
ing—when they publish In foil, every tolegraphlo
dispatch which leaves their offices, addressed to tho
Mayor of New Orleans, and every letter so addressed,
and every scrap of scrip In connection with the col
lections they are taking up, they make themselves
liable to unpleasant comment—they excite the won
der of many, os to the meaning of all this parade—
they cause numerous conjectures as to the probability
that self-interest and policy, rather than sympatlr
and oharity, have been tho incentives to the boasteL
deeds; aad they disgust all of thut class of persons
who believe it woll for ono hand to be Ignorant of
what tho othor hand dooth in the way of charity.—

Mortality.—The deaths In this city lost week
numbered 514, being 445 less than that of the week
previous. There is no diseaso of an epidemic charac
ter In the city. There was one death from yellow
fever mentioned os having occurred at tbe City Hos-
K ital, but the deceased was sick with tho fever when
e arrived hero from Now Orleans on the 17th inat.
Tho deaths in Philadelphia the past week were 227,
of which number 134 were children. There were 19
deaths from various kinds of fever, including four by
yellow. In Boston there wore only 97 deaths, a do
orcase of 29 from the previous week.—N. Y. Mirror,

Tub Darien Snip Canal—It la now more than a
year since we announced, soys the New York Evening
Post,the organization of acompany in London for the
construction of a ship canalaoross tho Isthmus of Da
rien, from San Miguel to Puerto Escosses. Since
then, the engineer of the company, Lion Gisborno,
ban been making a survey or the country through
which the canal is to run, and’has forwarded a portion
of his journal to Alexander von Humboldt, from
whom no has received a reply. It contains several
observations worthy of Its author’s fame and genius.
He mentions, in tho course of his letter, that ne was
the first person who took guano to Europe, and for
forty years tried In vain to have Its agricultural value
appreciated. Ho also says that he is tho oldest trav
eller in both the tropics of America, and that ho ob
tained the first line.of levels across tho isthmus of
Panama. Humboldt Is now lu the 84th year of his
age.
A Shark-Lire Appetite—wo learn that a man,
well known in the West end of tho city for his vora
cious appetite, devoured for a wager at the Lexington
market, on Thureday night last, two medium sized
watermelons, two cantclopes, a quarter of a peck of
R eaches, and half a dozen raw encumbers! Up to
jo time of closing our report no symptoms of cholera
morbus had appeared, although several amateur phy
sicians continued to watchfully anticipate an attack of
tho most violent nature.—Baltimore Times.
Newspapers in England-Newspaper publishing
has hitherto labored undor great and oppressive bur
thens in England. Iu these days, when every body
reads and must know how tho world goes, newspa
pers have attained so wide a circulation and patron
age, that tho government has naturally regarded
them as offering couvenient sources of revenue. Ac
cordingly, they have been oppressed with a Btarap
duty upon every copy issued, and a tax upon every
advertisement inserted. This, however, is about to
cease. Acts which havo lately passed Parliament,
and been approved by the Queen, provide for tbe re
moval of the advertisement duty, as woll as the stamp
duty on newspaper supplements.
The Great Western Mail—We learn that the
great mail from Baltimore and Washington to Cin
cinnati and Louisville. Ac., is to bo ran in a few days
by the way of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, un
der an improved schedule, in thirty-oight hours from
Baltimore, and forty from Washington to Cincinnati,
where it connects closely with tho regular mail to
Louisville. This is a saving of twelve hours on tho
present timo, to Cincinnati, and twenty-four to Louis
ville.—Rail, American.
Conklin and Works Sentenced— On Batnrday
lost. Judge Ingersoll, of the U. 8. District Court at
New Haven, overruled tho motion for arrest of judg
ment In the caso of Alfred J. Works and James II.
Conklin, and sentenced tbe prisoners each to two
years confinement in the state prison. The prisoners
wore convicted of having, with intent to defraud the
United States, transmitted to tho Pension Office, a
certificate, in support of a claim, knowing tho samo
to bo false. The sontcnco is considered very lenient,
as by statute the term of imprisonment might havo
been mado ten years.—N. Y. Com., Aug. 29.
Tho name of tho man who caused tho imprisonment
of a poor widow in Portland, Malno,for a aobt of $15,
Is stated to be JameH Huio, residing in Boston. Tho
B-ston Bee says ho is a very pious man, and recently
left a churoh because tho minister did not preach tho
gospel in its purity 1
A Baronet in the House-By tho death of Bir
Jamos 8tunrt, Chief Jnstico of Lower Canada, his

Okill Stuart. The House can now boast of having a
knight and a baronet within its walls. Tho late Chief
Justice died without leaving a will. His property,
therefore, under Mr. Baldwin's primogenture bill, will
be divided among his children. This is an example
of the wisdom of tho law, for tho present baronet is
independent-Kingston Herald.
Death in our Office—We give this morning tho
sorrowful intelligence of another calamity in our of

A Mistake in the Dark—A few. evenings since,
while a gentleman of this city who wears a profusion
of dark nalr, and la of dark complexion, was walking
with a lady on the avenne, ho was accosted by a
watchman, who scizod him by the collar, and said
that he had no business out after hours.
“After houre,” exclaimed the arrested gentleman,

«c. The common consent of all who havo used Barry’s Tri-
copherus. whether for tho improvement sndinvlgoratlon of
the hair, or for eruptions, outs, bruises, fcc., place* it at the
head all preparations intended for the like purposes. This
Is no ill-considered assertion. Figures and facts bear It out.
The sales average a million of bottle* a year: the receipts,
in cash, 1100,000. This year the business will exceed that
amount. The number of orders which dally arrive at the
depot and manufactory, 187 Broadway, New York, address
ed to Professor Barer, enclosing cash, and requiring imme
diate attention, would scarcely be believed. The wholesale
domand Is from 2,000 to 3,000 bottles a day, probably ex.
ceeding that of all the other hair preparations conjoined.
The popularity of the article everywhere, and the liberal
terms to dealers, combine to increase its sales with great
rapidity; and improvements In its composition, made at
considerable expense, adds to its reputation as well as in-
trinsic value. For sale, wholesale and retail by the prtncl-

bale* Sea Islands, against 2^02 bales Uplands and 121
bales Sea Islands at the tame time last year.
At the time of dosing our last review the market wes
languid, and pricee were too Irregular to establish quota
tions. Hlnco that date we have had no change worthy of
notice, the dally operations being merely nominal. The
stock on hand is too light to anticipate any material change
until tho now crop cornea Into market freely.
The operations for the month of July amounted to nearly
860 bales, at extrema* of 7 to 11#$., and for August to only
634 bales at 7)4 to 10X4—making an aggregate since July
2d of 1483 bales, at the prices published below.
The sales of the past week did not exeeed 68 bales at 8J(
to IlMd., which lndude 8 bales of Ihe new crop j and the
market closes in such an unsettled state that it ia impossi
ble to obtain quotations.

Ska Islands—The operations in this description are only

exceeded 60 bales, at 18 to 884 $ ft.
RICE—Tbe demand for this article has continued nnaba-
ted,aatfjprlce*have-been firm, with tmtslight variation
since the dateof onr uut report. The sales of July amount
ed to 1.217 casks, at $3 60 to $3 87)4 H 100 ft. The trans
action* for the month of August foot up about 800 casks,
at $3 02)4 to $4 00, and 70 caaks prime which brought
$4 26 100 ft.
FLOUR—Owing to the small stock on hand and the con
tinuance of adverse winds, which prevented vessels from
reaching this port, the operations in Flour hare been quite
limited since our last, and prices have ruled considerably
abovo average rates. The market, however, has recently
been well supplied, and ordsrs can now be filled to any ex
tent, at our quotations.
GRAIN—There has been a moderate demand for Oats, at
extreme* of 46 to 62)44 V bushel. Com has been scarce
and in demand at 86 to 964, but the heavy arrivals within
the past two week* have caused a decline, and holders are
row offering at 76 to 804 wholesale. It retails in lota at
80 to 864.
HAY—The demand for this article is brisk at our quota
tions. Tbe stock on hand continues light, aud operations
are limited for want of a supply.
LIME)—Owing to the extensive Improvement* going
our city thisarticlo continues in demand for building pur
poses The market, however, keeps well supplied, and all
that is offered meet* with ready safe at $1 60 V barrel for
Rockland andRockport.
GROCERIES—The articles comprised under this head
bavo beon in limited demand daring July and August,
owing to the absence of country buyers. The market is
well supplioil and our merchant* are constantly adding to
their stocks in anticipation of an extensive fall trado. It is
now, we believe, generally admitted that Savannah is ono
of the best Grocery markots in the Union, and many mer
chants from the interior of this as well as the adjoining
States, who have heretofore purchased their stocks in New
York and Philadelphia, find it their interest to buy exclu
