From tho Richmond Enquirer. The Dead Ben and the Cities of the Plain. In the Old Testament Scriptures there is an account of the utter overthrow and destruction of certain cities, the Inhabitants of which aroused Divine ven geance. It has always been a favorito theory with many moderns, that the Dead Sea covered the site of ’ha cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,and, unless we err collections, Lieut. Lynch gavo that opinion an indorsation. Indeed, our gallant officer had no doubt Vh. - e fonnd Mrs who, we are told, s^8h t eran f0rm * , ' ,nt0 apillar of 8011 forlookingback A book hasjost been , n blUhed in England, and we presumo will soon appear « n this country, which will give the quietus to the popnia. m eaa 0 n this sub ject It seems that Monsiour de Sanlej a member of the French Institute, could not coincide m tbo opin ion with the popular notions of tho overthrow of the cities of tho plain—regarding them as unauthorized by the scriptural history of that event. His desire to vludlcato the correctnes of his views induced him to visit the Holy Land. Accordingly, he left for tho scene of his labors In 1860, being accompanied by his son, by the Abbe de 8t. Mlchen, and several intelli gent friends. In that and tho following yeur, he pur sued his archaeological explorations with the happit * results. He was abundantly supplied with means, and hav ing secured a strong body guard of infantry and cav alry, be was enabled to proceed with his mission without danger from the nomadic tribes of Arabs.— He directed his attention, first, to a careful examina tion of the Dead Sea. Beneath tho Btinking waters of this remarkable Bea, popular tradition had located Sodom and Gomorrah : but he was soon convinced that, like the apples which were onco believed to grow upon its borders, the popular idea had no foundation in foot. Bat he fonnd the cities of the plain, and rode among their ruins. His eyes looked upon their widely ex tended remains, bearing evon now tho ma>*> of that terrible visitation—" fire from Heaven ’’—which con sumed and destroyed them. Upon the shores and in valleys where they originally stood, this French sav ant discovered their blackened ruins. It is surprising that they have not been sooner dis covered. The Holy Land nos been a point of interest with all travelers and explorers in all times. From the crusades until the present hour, men have (lock ed thither and trodden the land more full of Bublime memories than any Ibther portion of the babbling earth. But wo easily account for the failure to discover these relics of the olden times. Men have always via- Red the Dead Sea, and as they looked upon its slug gish, salt waters, have regarded them as shutting up in darkness the city accursed of Heaven. Hence no traveler has sought after the oitics of the plain, and it has been reserved for the French savant of the present day to bring to light this Btrong confirmation of tho Old Testament records. From the Belleville Engle. Illinois In 1800. At the above period, Illinois composed a part of the Territory of Indiana, and contained two counties, Bt. Glair and Randolph. Iliipola at that period numbered about two thou- Band white inhabitants, and perhaps twenty thousand Indians. The colored population, slaves, and free negroes, amounted to perhaps two thousand bouIs. The two French villages, Kaskaskia and Cahokia, were the limits ot the settlements north and south, •xcopt a few inhabitants in Peoria, Prairie, Da Chien, and some other inconsiderable French habitations. On the west the Mississippi was tbo boundary, and a small settlement of Americans, east of the Kaskas kia village, the Horse Prairie town on the Kaskaskia river, and the Turkey Hill settlement, limited the population on tho east. Thls was a very inconsiderable portion of Illinois occupied by tho whites in 1800, and the balance of the country was tenanted by the aborigines. Tho Americana were mostly settled iu tho Ameri can Bottom, and what was at that time called the New Design. The French possessed tho villages of Kaskaskia, Prairio, Da Rocher, and Cahokia. Thera was no inhabitants in Fort Charles village, oriuSt. PhilHppe, which was sometimes called “ the little vil lage.” This year one Blnglo inhabitant, au American, resided in the little village. Fort Charter at this period was in some tolerablo repair. The walls of tne Fort and houses, were not much mutilated, as they are at this day. In it there were several pieces of Iron cannon, which remained there until the war of 1813, when they were taken away to the frontiers. There were several water mills bnllt In the country at that day. Gen. Edgar had a fine flooring mill with French bam, located on a small stream east or the Kaehaskia river, where Mr. Riley has a mill at this time. Henry Levons had a mill on Horae Creek, a few miles from the month of the creek ; Joseph and Andy Kinney both hod water mills near the Now De- algn. Vallentlne had a mill on a Btream west of Wa terloo. Jody had a water mill a short distanco west WMteslde’a Btation, in the present Monroe county, waaa mill on Prairit du Point creek In BA Glair county.

Tho Democratic members of tho Lrgislature held a meeting in the Senate Chamber last night, for con sultation. Tho doors were closed upon all not Sena tors or Representatives ; but It Is understood that the attendance was tolerably full, aud that a resolution was passed to go into caucus for the nomination of United States Senator and Judges of the Supreme Courttho nomination to he mado by a two thirds vote when there are three or more candidates, and by a simple majority when the candidates are ouly two in number. The difficulty of making a nomination on the two thirds principle is likely to bo so great, that I have still hope that no election of Senator will take place during the present session. Iu regard to the aspirants for the office, the two strong men of the party are manifestly Govs. McDonald and Cobb. Who of the two la the stronger, it might bo hazardous to say. The adoption of the two thirds rule for tho gov ernment of the caucus may cause tho defeat of both- bringing abont the election of some third man,—Iver son, Chappell. Warner or some one even whoso name has not been mentioned. Such a result, however, I do not anticipate. If an electiou is made McDonald or Cobb will be Senator, I think. Bnt the result of the ballot this morning for Judge of the City Court of Savannah, admonishes mo of the worthlessness of most speculations as to the issue of Legislative elections. A few days sinco I expressed tho current belief, in Baying that Mr. Griffin would beat his competitors. The vote shows that ho was tho lowest candidate—their strength on tho last bal lot being in the order of their names—Howard, Ba con, Bilbo, Griffin. G. T. Howard, Esq., having re ceived 116, a majority of the votes cast on tho 3d bal lot, was declared duly elected. Mr. Blakely was chosen Solicitor General of tho Coweta Circuit on tho fifth ballot— boating something less than a dozen opponent«- The Candida*"* Director of the Bank of the State were Messrs. Rabun and Brantly, of Savannah, The latter was successful. Thus far all tho offices fillnd have been filled by Democrats. It Is not likely that the elections to fol low will result differently, aB tho Democrats have o n joint ballot a majority of from 20 to 25. The Cadets of the Georgia Military Institute took their departure this morning. They were received yesterday afternoon by HU Excellency, Gov. John son.

The question as to whether those members of tbs Savan nah Fire Company who have sent in their resignations to Oounoil, and have passed resolutions to disband the Com pany and divide the funds amongst themselves is a legal proceeding which will, I presume, be argued elsewhere. I had nothing to do with that matter, having been told at tha same meeting in ftea of the Ordinance passed by Coun cil, that I would not be allowed to vote, or have any voice in the proceeding* of the meeting. But to their statement. They say that the difficulties arose from a want of proper subordination on the port of th* Oglethorpe Fir* Company. Now, we havo endeavored timo and again to procure from them the specific charges on which they ground their aoeusatton of insubordination, and have urged them to give ue a hearing, and allow ue to produce counter testimony, which they have alwaya refuse to do. We appealed to Council and they recommended that we should have a hearing. At the next meeting of tho 8avannnh Fire Company, l received th* usual notice of the meeting about noon of the day of meeting, but no notice whatever, that the charges would be taken up, ind woe con sequently unprepared to rebut them by testimony I could have produced had they given mo notice end then ohargoa were made of which I had never heard before. But Jet me notice a few of these charges. We were charged with dlaoboylng the orders of Gilbert Butler at a fire that occurred at Ur. Dorgan’s store. At the time complained of we were throwing two streams of water Immediately on the fire, when Ur. Duller ordered us to supply ono ol his pet onginea with one of oar streams, that they might carry it to whore it was of no earthly uso. He lushted that we did not do so, and coraiug up in a rngo said If Oglothorpo Company can't obey my orders thoy hail better loave the ground," when somo reapectablo citl- tons who were standing by said, "Mr. Butler, Mr. Oliver has obeyed your ordeis." Wo had iu fact immediately ta ken oil the pipe from our hose and thrown the stream into the engine in obedience to his order. Now as to tho cor rectness of such an order, I must leave the public to Judge, as well aa of the competency of tho officer who would glvo such an order. I would simply ask if in forcingtwo streams from nn engine, one stream having an opening of of inch for ogress, and the other 3 inches, whether the water would not be forced through tho largest opening rendering tho other stream useless; whereas if tho openings were equal the force of water through c&ch would be equal. Another charge was—disposition to riot and beating ne groes at th* fire in Ynmncraw. This charge was preferred by Mr. Walsh, who made his statement, which was alto gether different from mine. Mr. Walsh, however, when he came to me the next day for the key of the Engine House, made uoo of this remark : “ Mr. Oliver, when I went homo last night, I reflected a good deal upon what you said re specting tbe difficulty at tho Yamacraw fire, and at last came to the conclusion that I was mistaken, and that you wore right." Now, the circumstances were these: At tho commencement of tho Are, we took the cistern in Liber ty square, supplying a line formed through the stables, and after wo had been working there a long time, Mr. Walsh came to me, and told me ho wanted to break up that line, and form one from tho canal, and desired mo to bo in read!- .... *****$& Murder in Atlanta.—A telegraphic despatch dat ed Atlanta, Nov. 12, 12.30 I*.

Railroad Accident.—We learn from a passenger who came down from Milledgevllle last evening, that the passenger train, whloh left Milledgevllle for Gor don, on Friday morning, when four miles from the former place, was thrown off the track, by tho mis placing of a swltoh, and the engine thrown down nn embankment of several feet, fortunately the pnaaon- ger cars became detached from the locomotive, other wise a number of lives might have been lost. We re gret, however, to learn that one of the firemen was very seriously, perhaps fatally, injured, and that the engine was somewhat damaged by the foil. Tho N.

Ho came again ahorlly after, and said that as we had been working a long time from the cistern, ho would glvo uh a position in Margaret street, on tho fire, and desired mo to station tho engine in that atreet, and ho would form a lino to us from tho canal. I did so ns soon as tho order was given to tako up, but Instead of forming a line to us, It taken in another direction altogether, and we wore left in front or the fire, unablo to do anything towards checking it. As soon as I ascertained that they were not going to supply us, I looked about to seo where we could bo of ser vice. I found a woll in tho yard of Mr. W H. Davis, with ills permission we went in there ; but tho well was soon exhausted. I Won saw the chief FIndimi, and told him how we were situated, when he desired mo to go to West Broad Btreet, near tho stables, and he would form line to us from Liberty square. 1 therefore went accord- to his instructions, and Nos. 3 and 4 were ordered to sup. ply us. The manager of Vo. 4 demurred, complaining that his englno, of inferior power, was placed between two much superior. [Charges wore not preferred agatnet him, how- ov»r.] Ho got ready to supply us, and doslred me f 0 bring our engluo nearer to his. While in tho act of doing so, Mr. Walsh ordered him to continue his hose pnst us on to the firo. As the negroes wero exscuting this order, I heard them make use of language calculated to irritate tho mem- bers of Oglethorpe. Such expressions ns 11 Ah ! Ah ! white mnu fooled this timo." What white man do now?” For some such expression one of the nctrroc* was struck. I cannot say that the negroes have been oncouraged in their insolence, but remarks of a similar character have fre quently been mado by thorn in the hearing of Oglothorpu Company. Tho person, however, who struck the negro on this occasion, was reprimanded, and is not now a member of the Company. I have nover seen any disposition to riot on tho part of thn company except in that ono Instance, when it was Instantly cbe6kod. Another charge, and a most frivolous ono, was, tho wast ing of water a l tho same firo. After they refused to glvo us water in the line formed, wo were told that the Washing ton Company was stationed in Broughton street, and would supply us. 1 ordered the Company opposite the resi dence of Dr. Richardson, and was there supplied by tho Washington, who supplied us through three lengths ofhoso. through a three inch opening, and we forcod tho water onto the (Ire in Margaret-strcet, through some ton or twelve lengths, and throe quarters of an inch opening ; because some of tho water escaped from the box, wo wero charged with wasting water. Another charge was—beating negroes, and threatening members of the Savannah Fire Company, at tho firo nonr the Railroad. I did not hoar anything of that matter un til somo days after, when I took somo troublo to ascertain tbe facts of tho case. It nppears that as tho Company were going to the fire,and before I had joined them, they were running by tho side of one of tho negro compnnies, when ono of the negroes laid hold of a member of tho Oglethorpe and endeavored to drag him from the englno ; and, when thoy got to tho Canal, they mado uso of threatening Ian guage towards tho whito Company Under these circum stances ono of them wns struck. As to threatening mem bers of tho Savannah Fire Company, tho threat* were made by persons not at all connected with the Oglethorpe Com pany. The only time I did not obey tbo orders of tho offleor In command, was nt Gibbons’ fire ; 1 must acknowledge diso> bedieuce them, although not aa Mr. Butler states. Ho says he gave orders to halt the Company In West Droad street. I did not, as I told him at tho timo. hear the order, or I should have obeyed. 1 did not know ho had given any such order, nor did I see him until wo got down to tho fire, whon ho ordered us fmm tho ground. That order I dlso- beyod; for, seeing that there was no water on the fire, and thinking we could check it. if not put it out altogether, I ordered the Engine to tho clstern.and seeing that the doors ol the coach house had not been opened, I had them open ed and the carriage haulod out, aud by cutting through a partition, carried the hose directly into tho loft and put out the fire. After wo bad done this, I obeyed Mr. Butler’s ordor to leave tho ground, but did not do so until I had en. deavored to find the Chief Fireman, to get his permission. It will be iu tho recollection of a great many how wc wore treated at tho fire which originated in Mr. Butler’s shop. We wero ordered to take position, and after wo had got all ready for work, counter orders were given throe or four times, until tho men wero exhausted with dragging the engine through the heavy sand from place to place. So it has been in numerous instances, and wo were com pelled to bolieve that the object was to annoy us, and pro voke some overt act of rioting on our part. Had there bcon any disposition to creato disturbance on our part, I think wo had provocation enough to havo made it appa rent. But the truo causo of the difficulties is Opposition to White lire Companies, which has been apparent from soon after the organization of tho Oglethorpe Company.— Our charter makes our first two officers, by virtue of their e, members of the Savannah Fire Company. Tho first year those officers wero nominated to Council by the Savan nah Fire Company, and admitted to all the rights of regu lar members j after that they were afraid thoy would get too many from the white Companies, and thus loose the control of the Firo Department,when their ••occupation would be gone." So they refused to nominate successors to those whose terms of office had expired We told them we did not require it of them j we only wished to be mem bers of their body so long os we were officers of the Ogle thorpe Company, and that so soon as our terms of office oxpireil our membership in tholr Company ceased. But no I wo were graciously permitted to have a seat at their meetings, but not to say a word, or to have any vote. We were not even allowed to vote for the officers under whose command we wero to se^ve. and to whom wo wore to yield implicit obedienco. After appealing to Council to havo tho matter investigated, for we foil, and felt deeply, that our character as peaco and order-loving citiieas, was assailed, they passed an ordinance declaring the first two officers of tho white Company, now existing, or that may hereafter exist, members of the Savannah Firo Company, and enti tled to all the rights and privileges of memoerehip. Yet, in tbo face of this ordinance, I am told that I may take ray seat at their mootings, but. can take no part -in their proceedings. Thoy resign! and why 1 because Council did not gte« them th* power to dictate to the white Companies who they should elect for their officers: " not giving us a check upon the nominations or the two first officer! or the Oglethorpe and Washington Fire Companies, thus forcing upon us, as participants of our charitable, or coporate fund, those who havo no hand in making it up, or in preserving it." “ or it might be unworthy of incompetent asssoiates! ” They Mem to forget altogether that those two officers havo a con stituency of free, white oitizens, more nnmeroue by far than their own body, porhapn os intelligent and os competent to judge of the fitness and worthiness of their officers. And, as to their charter fund—let me ask how much bos a great many of their members contributed to It ? Ilave they all contributed an equal amount ? Was there not a time einoe tbe formation of tbo fand, when they had not contributed anything? Is not every member they admit open to the same objections? However, that was not an object with us. We cere nothing (or their fand. We wish to have a vole* in their meetings and something to say in tha alee- tteu of officer* who are to b* over us; nor do w* think we ask more than avaij citteea it entitled to.

Albnqaerquo, tho Brazilllan Minister, protests ajralnBt the results expected from this resolution of Peru, la a degree detrimental to Brazil, In answer Tirado, the Peruvian Secretary of State, declares that if tbe right of navigation on the Ama zon la an exclusive right of the people on the shore, Peru cannot deny the right of navigation to nations holding treaties with her. Not finding plausible grounds for refusal, and not considering this purmlt prejudicial to the interests of Brazil, the Peruvian govoruraent has licensed those expeditions. The Secretary claims Peru to be irres ponsible for the designs of theBo companies. Peru cannot consistently deny these companies access to her dominions, according to the treaty, and she is not responsible for any other construction of tbe decree of April 15th. Ho concludes with tho wish that all impediments to tho navigation of the Amazon may bo avoided, by the establishment of conferences, which will causo nn agreement of the plenipotentiaries ot' the said State. —N. Y. Express, Nevy York lfilcctlon. Tho election is over, bnt the smoke of battle is yet too dense to show more than partial results. In tho city, tho returns indicate that the Whig and Reform tickets have succeeded for Municipal officers. Iu the wards where obnoxious Aldermen (as in tho case of Sturtevont in tbe Third) were re-nominated, whether by Whigs or Democrats, tho Reform ticket has tri- implied. In the Second Ward our neighbor William- 9sn, of the Sunday Disjntch, is elected Alderman, and reighbor Herrick, or tho Sunday Atlas, is also elect ed in tho Nineteenth Ward. Tho fate ot the Judiciary tickets, District Attorney, Ac., are in a maze. It is thought that Clarke and Da ly, run by both " Hards" and “ Softs,” are elected to tie Supreme Court, and Common Pleas. Of State Stnatora, Barr, " Hard," In tho Third District, and Whitney and Erastus Brooks, in the Fourth and Sixth, art elected. Tho Fifth District is Doubtful. k is impossible to givo anything definite from the Staa, though there is every appearance that tho Whigs have swept it almost clean—they will havo prolably 100 of the 128 Assemblymen, and 20 or more of tie 32 Senators. This Senate, with an Assembly to bt elected next year, elects the next U. S. Senator. So fir as heard front, tho " Hards ” have beaten the " So'ts,” though the result between the two factions in tie State is yet problematical.— -V. Y. Mirror, Oth. The Revenue Marine Service. Tte Washington Star states that tho Secretary of tho Treasury lias addressed a circular letter to the comnanders of various U.S. revenue cutters, desig- natirg their duties for tho coming Reason of danger and distress on our coasts. These orders embrace all tlat can possibly lie done in ths utmost solicitude of tie Secretary of tho Treasury, to save-life and propirty exposed on the coast to the rigors of cli- inateand tho dangers of the seas: Tic Caleb Cushing, to cruise between'Mount Desert and Cape Naddock 5 Morris, between Cape Naddock and Holmes’ Hole: James Campbell, between Holmes' Holesnd Gardner's Bay, Washington, between Gard ner's Bay nnd Little Egg Harbor; Forward, between Lit til Egg Harbor and Cliingoteaguu; Campbell, be- tweet ChTngotcague and Cape Ilatteras; Jos.

Ourrcadera will notice tho call of Capt. Jernigan to raise a Company ol men to act in the removal of tbo Scninoles. We cure not how much pay thoy re ceive, tut we protest ugaiust a war, ami give it as our opinion that not one fourth of the citizens in East and Buith Florida are in favor of any hosty action by the State, and we do hope the peoplo will hold meet ings, and in nil soberness, uiiinilucnccd by war speeches or party bias, state their wishes in the mat ter. Tho lust legislature, influenced in part by an opinion that it was the popular will for tho State to take tie removal of tho Seinirioles in its own hands, passed tho law for their removal. Let tho people now speak lystematically and unequivocally. If the ma jority ire indeed in faVor of carrying out that law now. be it so. But stop for Heaven’s sako all individ ual scribbling in favor of a war. We confidently be lieve, ai wo have before said, that a war now, com menced and carried on by the State, would effectual ly destroy its prosperity.—Florida Mirror. The Presbytery op Florida.—This body met at Quincy, Fla., on tho 12th of last inters except thre« worn preseftt. under its care, one-half was represented by Ruling Elders. Rev. Homer Hendeo was elected Clerk in place of Rev. J. W. Hume, resigned. Rev. J H. Parmlee was recommended to supply tho place of J. W. Espey os Colporteur, who is in bad health. Tho Itev. 8. J. Milliken and Rev. Henry Cherry, (the lat ter a citizen of this county,) wo notice, were appoint ed as delegates to visit Micanopy, Newnansvillo and Ocala, Fla., with tho view of establishing churches at those places. An adjourned meeting of the Pres bytery was appointed to bo held in Tallahassee o'clock, P. M., ou Thursday before the 4th Subbath in this month. The Presbytery adionrned on the 15th, Next regular meeting at Monticello, in April, 1854.— 'Jltomasville tVatehman, Oth. Heine—Henry Heine, tho Gorman poet, has for many year* past been struck with paralysis. His limbs, his body, his features, oven to his very eye lids, are lame, and, to all purposes, like those of a dead man. Indeed, it may bo said that lifo only lin gers on the brain and totigue—tho man is a mere corpse—the poet alone survives. An exiio from his country fur many long years post,and for many years past, too, a captive to illness in the back room of a small apartment in tho Faubourg Poissinlcre, nt Paris, tho pcet—whose early flights of fancy created a now era in German lyrics, and, one might almost say, in German politics and religion—has Btill been active : and if not his best, at least his most pungent books, have issued from that living head attached to a dead body, which keeps its long vigils in tho heart of tho Babel of France.—New Quarterly Review. Damages dy the Loi*es Expedition.—In tho Ha vana Diario de la Marina, of the 28th October, there appears an authorized and final report of tho opera tions of tho relief committee for compensating per sons in Cuba, for the injuries suffered by them iu cou- sequence of the invusiou of the island by Lopez and his confederates, and it appears that the whole stun of money contributed for the purpose was $285,823 38. All of this was paid to tho sufferers or their sur viving relatives, except $5,155 not yet claimed, and $19,817 18 surplus, which latter amount, by recom mendation of the Captain General, has been handed over to the Trcrsurer of the College of Public In struction. __________________ Seizure of Seven Hundred Kegs of Powder.— Tho Fire Wardens of the First Ward Police, on Sat urday night took possession of seven hundred and se venty kegs of powder, which had been illegally land ed at the foot of Broad street, from a sloop lying in the stream. Their operations were first observed by officer Lynch, who gave information to tho Fire War dens, and also at tho station liouso. When those in charge of the barge which landed tho powder saw tho police advancing, they mado every effort to es cape with the powder, but were too late to effect their object. The powder came from tho manufactory ot Enfield, Conn., and was deposited in the orseual in Cist street.—N. Y. Mirror, 8th. LoaoiNG Statistics.—Tho Jacksonville Republi can, of tho 10th inst., contains the following statistics: To supply nineteen mills on the Saint Johns river with logs, it is estimated to require au average of ten teams, of four mules each, for every mill worth $800, a team, including carte, gearing, etc. This would bo one hundred and ninety teams, em ploying an averago of two and a half hands to a team, to afford the usual quantity of sided timber aud round logs, with tho other labor tnatmaybe required—mak ing a total or 475 hands. Choppers will command $20 per month as wages, and teamsters $30 per month; forage of teams $75 per month, per team ; provisions for hands average $7 each per month—then tho permanent capital In vested on tho river would be: For teams, carta, etc $152,000 Choppors and teamsters wages, per year 130.800 Prorisions of hands 30.000 Forage of teams, 171,000 Expense for oil, wear and tear of tho carts, tools, chains, ropo, etc., at $60 a year per team, 9.500 Capital must be invested from timo to timo to a large amonnt for timber land, at $1,25 per acre. Ordination.—The solotnn ceremony of Ordination was performed in the Episcopal Church, in this town, on Friday morning, the 4th mat., by the Right Rev. Bishop Rutledge, of this Diocese. The orders of a Deacon in the protestant Episcopal Cbnrch were con ferred upon Mr. Archibald F. Gould, the candidate being presented by Rev. W.D. Harrow, Rector of the Church. The Bishop delivered an appropriate and eloquent address on tbo occasion. Wo are happy to learn that Rev. Mr. Gould will be located at Ocala, where there are a number of mem bers of tho Church who have not hitherto been favor ed with the services of a regular minister.—Jackson ville Republican, 10th. Flour Trade op Rochester—-It may be of in terest to those abroad, says the Rochester Union, who have never visited the flour mills of this olty, to know something of the extent of their operations at this season of tho year. There are ninety-two runs of stones in motion here, all engaged In merchant grinding. They manufacture daily soven thousand barrels of floor, for which they tako in thirty-ono thousand buBhels of wheat, the total value of which is forty-one thousand dollars. To purchase tho Btock and oporatc these mills, over twelve hundred thousand dollars are drawn from tbe banka every month. A Sea Mouse—A beautiful living specimen or tbo aphrodite ia exhibiting in England. The fish Is six inches long, and presents the general appearance of a sole. Jt is fornlabed with 26 feet on either edge of tbe nnder part of the body, tho extremity of eacn leg or foot possessing foor or five tentacnlaj. The great remarkablo feature, however, is the fine glossy fila ment or hair which fringes the sides of the animal all round, every hair reflecting the color of the rein- bow.' : • - I ., ittr-of 100to800 miles,•stretches over twenty-five degrees of latitude, covering 200,000 square miles lu snrfttoo, like a huge floating garden, in which countless myriads of minute animals find food and shelter. Now, It Is the eddy of numerous sea rivers which collect in ono Bpot.and the cold water of tho Northern Atlanllo mixing with tbo warm streams of the southern and western currents, which produoo tho temperature roost fitted to pro mote this amazing development of vegetable and animal life. What becomes of the done! remains of this vast marine growth ? Do thoy decompose as fast as they are produced ? or do they accumulate into deposit* or peculiar coal,destined to reward tbe re searches of future geologists and engineers, when the Atlantic or onr day has becomo the habitable land of an alter time ? In the chart of tho Pacific Ocean we are presented with another remarkablo Instenco of tho Influence of sea rivers on vegetation. From tho shores or South Victoria, on the Antarc tic continent, a stream of cold water. GO degrees In width, (the reader will recollect that In lilgh latitudes tho degrees or longitude arc very narrow,) drifts slowly along in a northeast and easterly dlrestlon across the Southern Pacific, until it impinges anon U10 South American coast, to the south of Valparaiso. There It divides into two arms—one of which Btretoh- es south nnd east, doubles Gape Horn, and penetrates Into the Southwestern Atlantic; the other flows northeist and then northwest along the coast of Chill nnd Peru,carrying colder waters luto the warm sea, and producing a colder air along the lopr plains which stretch from the shores of the Pacific to the base of tho Andes. This current, discovered by Humboldt, and called after his name, lowers the temperature of the air about twelve degrees, while that or tho water itself is sometimes as much as twenty-four degrees colder than that of the still waters of the occau through which it runs. The cold air seriously affects vegetation along the whole of the coast: at the Bamc time that tho cold stream raises fogs aua mists, whloh not only conceal the shores and perplex the naviga tor, but extend inland also, and materially modiry the climate. The beautiful and boneticiont character of modify ing influence becomes not only apparent, but most impressive, when we consider, os the rain map of the world shows us, that on the coast of Peru no rain ever falls; and that, like the desert of Sahara, it ought, therefore, to be condemned to perpetual bar- reness. But in consequence of the cold stream thus running along Its borders, " the atmosphere loses its transparency, and the sun ia obscured for months to gether. The vapors at Lima arc often so thick that the sun seen through them with the naked eye as sumes the appearance of the moon’s disc. They commence in tho morning, and extend over the plains in the form of refreshing fogs, which disap pear Boon after mid-day, and uro followed by heavy dews, which nre precipitated during the night.” The morning mists and evening dews thus supply the place of tho absent rains, and tne verdure which covers the plains is tho offspring of a sea-river. What a charm- ing myth would the ancient poets have made out of tins striking compensation.—Edinburg Review. A Striking Simile. A recent SwisB traveller describes a village in the Grison county, situated on the slope of a great moun tain, of which tho strutaslielvc in tho direction of the pluce. Hugo crags directly overhanging the village, and massy enough to sweep the whole of it into the torrent below, have become separated from the main body ol *ho mountain in tho course of ages, by great fissures, and now scarcely adhere to It. When they give way the village must perish. It is only a ques tion of time, and the catastrophe may happen at any day. For years pnst, engineers have been sent from time to time to measure the width of the fissures, who re port them constantly increasing. The villagers for more than one generation have been fully aware of their danger ; subscriptions have been once or twice opened in tiie cantons and in Germany to enable them to remove : yet they live on in tneir doomed dwellings from year to year, fortified against tiie ulti mate certainty and daily probability of destruction by the common sentiment—things may last their time and no longer. It is needless to say how much of this popular fatalism is exhibited in tbe habitual acquies cence of modem society in the political institutions under which it lives. The cracks and crevices in the mountain which overhangs our old privilege-founded European system, aro constantly seconded by explor ers, and their reports are never re-assuring ; we are more and more convinced of the insecurity of thrones nud commonwealths; political sagacity wholly fails to reveal to us the manner of their re-construction.— Yet we live on in a kind of provisional safety, recon ciled to the constant neighborhood of dangers, against which, apparently, we can no better guard ourselves than the villagers can prevent the fall of their rocks. —Edinburg Review.

Liberal Donation—Tho Board of Trado of this city have by a vote appropriated upwards of $1000 to the use of the Association for the Relief of tho Poor of Baltimore. This amount was the balance of the fund raised by the Board of Trade for the relief of tbo Now Orleans sufferers during tbe past summer, and which tho Howard Association of that city declined using alter the abatement of tbe cholera.

He will sail her, when finished, against any ship in the world for $10,000. Orphans’ Home.—The Protestant Ladies, of allde nominations, in New Orleans, uniting cordially under tbe broad banner of tbe Bible, have, after dno’consid- eration, formed themselves into a corporation for the purpose of affording a " Home ” for the destitute Or phan and Hall Orphan children. Tho Association has purchased the property on the corner of Live Oak and Seventh streets, Fourth Dis trict, for the new Asylum, and will immediately add another building, so as to have ample accorarnoda- ti6ns for their young charges. They have at present • upwards of seventy orphans, who will be removed from their present situation to their new " Home ” on the first of next month. Many of tho citizens of New Orleans have already contributed to the young Asylum.—N. O. Crescent, 7th. Daniel Martindale.—The Baton Rouge Gazette, of tbo 2d, learns that Daniel Martindale, District At torney of East Feliciana and editor of the Louisiana State’Paper, died at Juckon on tiie 1st. He had gone to Jackson to attend a friend who was sick with the fever, where he contracted tiie disease and was short ly numbered among its victims. Tho Coast Survey party under Lieut.

Ellicott and Edward Gillis- pie, in which thu latter was killed, and the former mortally wounded. Both held positions of respecta bility in tho community. From a Smyrna letter of the 5th of October, it ap pears that Koszta wus still in the French hospital, the United States Consul having refused to send him off, in obedience to the order of tne American Minister at Constantinople. Tho French Consul also refused to execute nn order from the same source, and Koszta himself declared that, under tho circumstances, he would not quit the prison ; so that the affair is as far as ever from being arranged.
