We now see bat in part The fall view, the harmony and proportion of things, are all necessary to dear up our judgment.” Martin Luther's Will.—In the last will and tes tament of the great German Reformer occurs the fol lowing remarkable passage: “ Lord God, I thank thee that thon bast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man npou the earth.

He was walking up Clark street to bis res idence, when he saw a man sitting npon tbe side of tbe walk near Monroe street, but did not remark him particularly. Just after he passed him, he beard a pistol shot, and found himself wounded in the left arm. He was carrying his hand behind him under hi* coat, and fortunately received the charge upon his fc»re-ann, which would otherwise probably have killed him. The pistol was discharged so near him thtt the coat was set on lire. Two square slugs en tered tbe inside of bis left arm about five inches above the. wrist, and passed along tbe bone to the joint, where they were cut ont by a surgeon, together with piece* of bis coat, which they carried in with them.— The pistol most have beena large one, heavily loaded —tbe coat was a think woolen garment, and tbe sings passed through several thicknesses or cloth and wadding before*reaching his arm.—Chicago Demo- . erotic Prut, Qth.

Tbe emigra tion from the State, which, from 1838 to 1843, was, at the least cal eolation, one hundred thousand, carry ing at least ten millions’ worth of property annually, is somewhat at a stand now. A large class of wealthy and respectable people are now emigrating to Alaba ma from different parts of the Southern States. There are 50,722 square miles in Alabama, which, computing the population at 771.871, gives 15.21 in habitants to the square mile.

We heartily welcome to the Democratic fold all Buch as desire the stability and prosperity of their oountry, by upholding tho rjghts or the States in their individual and federal capacity; tbe right of suffrage, untrammelled by property qualifications; itodwho will subscribe to the general principles npon which the Democratic party barf so long and snccess- fully withstood the attacks of its enemies. That H. V. Johnson will be elected the next Gov. ernor of Georgia, and that toe snccess of Mr. Shward In tho First Congressional District are events natural ly to be expected, we will not undertake to Bay—w# are entirely willing to leave the matter in the hands of the people npon the issues presented, not doubting their intelligence or their patriotism. Their decis ion cannot be averse to their own interests, and to those of their common country. It is for them to say whether those who have sought to abridge the elec tive franchise shall rule the destinies of oar noble State, or whether those whoso sympathies and prin ciples are with tbe masses, BhaU occupy the chair of State, and represent them in the halls of the Nation al Legislature. . Retraction ofa Calumny. Some time since a Whig paper in North Carolina Btarted an absurd story that a negro or mulatto had been appointed by the administration keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat. This was seized npou with avidity by the Whig papers of Georgia and other Southern States, and made the subject of the bitter est animadversions. Having served the purposes of its fabrication, the paper in which it first appeared now retracts the calumny in tbe followipg terms : In spite of all the prudence and caution which they can exercise, editors will sometimes be led into error. Such was oar case in regard to the appointment of keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat. Instead of a mulatto having been appointed, as we are informed on most respectable authority was the case, we learn from a letter from a friend in Hyde, and from another friend in this place who was In that connty lost week, that Capt. Robert RalliBon has been appointed to tbe Long Snoal Boat; that Capt. R. is a very respectable citizen of Hyde, one of the acting magistrates of toe connty, and that the appointment is the best which has been made in that region. Of coarse oar inform ants were misinformed as to who had been appointed to tbe Long Shoal Boat.” * This Is another sample of Whig attacks In this State on tbe administration. We shall see whether tho Whig papers which copied the “ negro ” state ment, will publish this correction.—Chiu. Mercury. This is just what might have been expected. The idea that Democrats in North Carolina would have recommended the appointment of a person of color to office, is preposterous; and that Gen. Pierce could knowingly have made such appointments, is equally absurd. The “ Conservative” organs nro welcome to make as much ont of this “ cock-and-bnll” story os they can. Having circulated the slander, will they have the magnamity to circulate tho correction ? We shall Bee. The Hon. H. V. Johnson addressed tbe citizons of Richmond connty, last evening, at the City Hall, Au- gnata. Arrival.—Tho steamer State of Georgia, Capt Garvin, from Philadelphia, arrived yesterday, P. M. to C. A.

O’Btbnb, of this city, we regret to learn, died In New York on Thursday last. He was a native of Savannah, where he leaves a mother, sev eral brothers and other relatives living. Weather and Health.—For several days past the weather had been very sultry until yesterday af ternoon, when rain fell heavily, accompanied by vivid lightning and load thunder, the result of which was, that tho temperature became cool and pleasant. The heavy rains of August and September have washed onr streets pretty thoroughly. Savannah has enjoy ed, to far, very general exemption from disease.

European News.—By the nrrival of the stcamsr Franklin at New York yesterday, and the snbseqnent arrival of the Cunard steamer Niagara at Halifax, with Liverpool dates to the 3d instant, we bavo a full week’s later intelligence from ail parts of Europe.— An unsettled aud feverish breadstuff market is an nounced, with an advance during the week of Gd on Hour, 3d on wheat and Is on corn.

Dot.—These fellows will make tbe word Captain m odious M the word occupy ; which waa an excellent food word be- fore it waa ill sorted: therefore Captains had need look to it. —Shakespeare. A striking feature in tho political history of this country„la the difficulty that has always been experi enced by the Conservative or Retrogressive party, in suiting them with a name. They have, from the first, been allowed to choose for themselves; and whatever cognomen, they as sumed, has been acquiesced in by the other party; yet, after a few years, they have invariably become dissatisfied, and abandoned tbe title they bad chosen. They set out in the beginning under the appellation of Federalists. This word is now so odious, that many will find it difficult to conceive that it was once a popular and honorable designation. Yon would in sult a man now, if yon called him a Federalist; but there was a time when the name was claimed with pride. It meant a man who was in favor of- the Con stitution of the United States, and of a more efficient government, and closer union tbnn tbe old conferation. This was tho BcnBO in which it was used by Hdmilton, Madison And Jay, in their famous essays. When parties began to be developed, as Washing ton’s administration drew to a close, this name was seized upon, as a tower of strength, by John Adams and his friends. In tho conreo of twenty years they had brought it into total disrepute, and by general consent abandoned it. Tha next title they took was “National Republicans.” This they wore out in about eight years, and fell into a dreadful perolexity wbat to call themselves next. In a moment of happy inspiration, Webb, of tbe Courier Sr Enquirer, (we believe be is entitled to tbe honor) hit npon the name of Wnio. It was caught op with avidity as the very thing. It was short and easily pronounced. It con veyed no particular meaning, and committed no man to any particular set of opinions; and it waa a name to the Ameri ’ »— .... mentibr decide tha -T,-™- r—of American papers, but or caws, mm and not principle away welfare, should make 'mBr b« decfiion or «dilorUU. which U . common oorrap* lion to be reported by oil portico.

In many places cotton is shedding not only its leaves, but tbe squares and yonng bolls are tnmingblack and failing off. Tbe rest, too, is doing considerable 1 injury, and in a few instances we learn that tho boll-worm has made it* appearance. Col. Young informed us the other day that tbe worm had niado its appearance in his cotton,aud was making sad havoc, notonly with yonng but also with grown bolls. Fears of a short crop in this section are beginning to be pretty gener ally entertained, and a few days more of wet weather, such as we bavo had for the past week or two, will fully confirm those fears. we learn that in Jefferson County, Florida, tbe cat erpillar has made its appearance in great numbers, nnd are doing great damage to cotton.—ThomasviUe Watchman, 14/A. . . .several 0 _ caccio bas left a vivid narrative of its appearance at Florenw, about tbe middlo of the fourteenth centnry.

The wek following they were 6534; the week after that 71B; and the next week C533. The pestilence now roddly abated. Tbe mortality for the ensnini five weks, respectively. 4520, 4337,2665,1421, am 1031. ly the.5th of December, the weekly deaths from plcue had fallen to 210. This, after the awful mortaliy which had preceded it, was considered a trifle; tie fugitives consequently returned to town, and buaaess was generally resumed. 44 Tbeifatality of tbe earlier epidemics, it is thus scen.fai exceeded tb&tof the fever now raging in New Oreans. The lA)ndon Plague of 1600. however, seems t; have been about as mortal. Estimating the I present'population of the American city at 80,000, and takng the mortality of the week ending, August tho Ufa, which was 1208, we find that one person died at of every sixty-three. In August, 1665, the populilon of London, as we have Been, did not ex ceed 30.000; tbe deaths for the week ending on the 16th o^that month.werc about 4,500 ; consequently, one pe«on out of sixty-six had died. By the 5th of Septer^er, however, the weekly mortality bad risen to 696£fwbicb was one death for every forty-three in- babitaos. Before tbe epidemic at New Orleans can be aa faal, tbe weekly mortality must rise to 1860. 44 Ouer pestilences, since the London one, have been v»ry fatal. - In 1720,60,000 persons perished at Marseilles, or quite half of the population. In Egypt, Syria^nd Barbary, tbo mortality from plague has frequeitly trebled, and even quadrupled, tbe present raortaky at New Orleans. In the 44 Great Plague,” Londollost 100,000 of her inhabitants, or one-third of tbo«»\wbo stayed to encounter the pestilence.’ He .palls# an jan who wool# him bold the i, were yon ever in Benjamin WHoess^Yess-l-r! % Lawyer—Did ydn see any liquor there 7 ' Witness—No «*I-r I Lawyer—Did you see any thing containing liquor there 7 Witnera—Not as I knows of.

But there is another side to this story untold. The merchant was from Georgia—Sa vannah, wo think. On being asked why he did not retnrn hero nnd buy, when bo fonnd the New York market so mnch higher, the reply was substantially, 44 that taking every thing into consideration—the want of fipeedy communication between here and Sa vannah;” lie thought it best to bay in New York.— He went farther and fared worse- What a lesson to him, and what a lesson to us.—Balt.
