SAVANNAH,_GA.:
TUESDAY MORNING. JANUAltY M,'
<nU Clty of Macon •ud u»* Cbb*** 1 r * 11-
Th« Uto bitter attacks of tho pabilo Journal* of
Mafonupon>,be Central Railroad Company and the
city of Savannah, aro calculated to provoke reply,
but aa tho oomjdalnt of the people ol that city has
found expreaelon in certain rcaolntlon*, adopted in
town meeting, which to-day appear in our columns,
It la better to meet that complaint, and to allow its
utter want or ronndAtlon, than to attempt any reply
to odltorlals which have not tho merit of a single ar
gument, bat which havo baon written in bad temper,
and to excite prejudice and anger. Tho proceedings
of tho town meeting have the merit of civility, whilst
the articles referred to are devoid of evory feature or
common ooortesy.
It la said that the consolidation of the stocks of the
Central and Macon A Western Roads, so as to make
one Company aud Koad from Savannah to Atlanta,
trill enable such Compauy " so to control and mo
nopolise the transportation of Cotton and other
fteight to and from Atlanta, Griffin, Columbus. Ogle
thorpe and other pointa on tho linos of tho Macon A
■Western, the South-western and Muscogee Railroads,
by discriminating iu freight agalust Macon, aa to re
tard and prevent the same front being qffered for sale
in the Macon matket, or from being discharged at
JVfacon,” aud. therefore, tho aid ortho Representa
tives from Bibb county is invoked by tho town meet
ing, in opposition to each consolidation.
It must bo obvious to tho most common understand
ing, that if It were tho purpose of any two of the
Connecting Railroads which join at Macon, to dis
criminate against Maoou, that purpose could bo ac
complished by a mere agreement for a through rate
Of freight, boned on a plan of discrimination. Indeed
It has been a complaint against tho Railroads—that
they have alwaya hitherto, by just such agreement,
discriminated against Macon. The act, then, of con
solidating tho stocks or the Central and Macon A
Western Roads, is stripped at once of the idea of
Its confering any greater power than thoso Compa
nies have always possessed, and continue to hold at
this day. If the complaiut alluded to is tme, then,
go rely, tho Companies ran discriminate and havo
always exercised tho right to do so. The charters
of tho Compaules contain no limits upon their rates,
and thoir charters are contracts between them and
tho State, which the Legislature itself cannot in
fringe. The statement that the bill now before the
Goucral Assembly will enable the consolidated Com
pany to discriminate, and thus to monopolize ami
control transportation, I* fallacious. If the right of
transportation, luwfully enjoyed by the Macon A
Western Road, a Road which is in no wiso a compet
ing or rival Road to tho Central, but on the contra
ry a feeder to it, bo now transferred to the latter,
bow cau that transfer create a monopoly 7 £. mo
nopoly to what greater possible extent than tho re
spective existing monopolies of tho two Companies,
If their charters can bo, with propriety, called by
that name 7
Ever alnoo the opening of tho Macon A Western
Road, now more than fonr years, there has existed a
through rato ofTrolght between Savannuh and At
lanta, and also between Savannuh and Griffin. Since
the South-western and Muscogee Roads havo been
opened there baa likowise been an agreed through
rato between Savannah and Oglethorpe, and between
Bavannah ami Columbus. So also lias there been nn
agreed through rate between Savannuh and Chatta-
nooga, and between Charleston and Augnsta and
Chattanooga. Such agreements for through rates
have the express sanction of a public statute ; in
truth they exist of necessity, ns well as by law.
It is this through rate of freight between Suvannah
And points beyond Macon of which Macon has com
plained, and which Macon has called discrimination
against her. What Macon demands is, that cotton and
other produce and goods shall uot he controlled so os
to pass through her territory, hut, on the contrary, he
made to stop there for sale or oiler in her market
Were this demand of Macon answered, no planter or
merchant resident at any point beyond that city,
would have the right to send his cotton lor sale direct
ly to Savannah ; ho would he forced to pay tribute to
tho central city. It is to the plain advantage of tho
Central Company that cotton should stop in Macon
and be oflbred for sale; for, in tliut case, tho Central
Company would profit just so much os its local rates
exceed its share or portion of a through rate. Rut it
would at onco, by all persons beyond Macon, be con
sidered arbitrary and unjust in tho Central Company
bo to retard produce at Macon, in order to exact more
for transporting it than would be fair to tho distant
planter or merchant.
To illnstrato this whole matter: take the facts, os
they exist at this day, relating to the article of cotton.
Daring this season, tho local rate on cotton between
Macon and 8avannah has been forty cents— between
Savannah and each of the above named points—viz.:
Columbus, Oglethorpe,Griffin and Atlanta, fifty cents
per one hundred pounds. The distuuce between Bn-
vannah and Macon is 192 miles, but Ib justly estimat
ed (by reason of the vast expenditure for crossing the
Octnulgeo, and the anuual sum of twenty-five hun
dred dollars paid by the Central Company for that
crossing to the corporation of Macon,) at 200 miles ;
the distanco between Macon and Oglethorpe is fifty
miles; between Macon and Griffin from fifty to sixty
miles; between Macon and Columbus and Atlanta,
respectively. 100 miles. The rate or 60 cents to Ogle-
thorpo and Griffin is fairly proportionate to distance—
tho distanco being one-flftb greater than the Central
lino—the rate is one-fifth greater than the local rate
of the latter line. Here, then, is no pretext to speak
of discrimination against Macon. At Atlnnta there
exists competition—rivalry for tho business—which
may pass by either of two lines to tho sea. At tho
instance of tho- Macon and Western Company, the
through rate W09, by tho agreement of oil parties
whose Hues lead to Atlanta, fixed at tho through rate
to Charleston. Without such agreement, or tho low
ering of rate on tho Bavannah line, it is obvious that
all the cotton would take the Augusta and Charleston
line. The Macon and Western road could not get
that cotton—Macon would never see a halo of it. With
what show of justice can Macon complain of tho At
lanta through rate 7 Let a candid public answer. At
Columbus there is cheap rivercarringe to Apalnchico-
Ja. Before the openiug of the Muscogee Road Macon
never had sight of Columbus cotton. Columbus was,
at times, a better market for cotton than Macon.
Without a rate or 60 cents, it was not the interest of
the people of Columbus to send their cotton to the
Atlantic. At that rate, thirty thousand bales of cot
ton have, during this season, passed over the lino to
Savannah. Again, with what show of justice cun
Macon complain of the Columbus through rate 7 Shall
it bo said that because tho Central Company allows
to the South-Western road ten cents per hundred, and
to the Muscogee road a like sum, and takes for its
Bharo thirty cents of tho through fifty cents, it dis*
criminates against Macon 7 To say so—and it is what
Maoon Bays—is erroneous and unreasonable. Ib the
Central to block the way to these roads aud thoir
customers by demanding of them its local rate?
Could the Central expect so to cramp them 7 The
Central Company might possibly force Oglethorpe
cotton to pay two local rates and tribute to Macon,
and thereby procure for itself great prollt. But what
would be the feeling, what the complaint—tho rea
sonable complaint—of Oglethorpe 7 The attempt to
deal thus with Griffin cotton would bo abortive ; for
Griffin cotton would go up tho Macon and Western
Itoad, and then to Augusta or Charleston. Is there
for any candid man, any further need of illustration.
But there is a oonclusivo answer, an actual cstopjtcl
to the whole complaint which Macon makes about
discrimination. That answer, that estoppel, is this
It has been agreed, by deed, between the corporation
of Macon and the three Railroad Companies, with ex
pressed view to destroy tho power of unjust discrim
ination, that the through rates between Savannah and
Oglethorpe aud Savannah Griffin, shoubl always be at
least twenty per cent, higher than the existing rates be
tween Savannah and Macon. For tho right to cross
tbe Ocmulgeo and join tho roads, Macon fixed her
prico of 15,000 per annum, during the existence of
the road charters, and that stipulation os to through
rales. For poaoo and for public advantage, tho Com
panies yielded—agreed to pay tho prico and to make
the stipulation. The Central Company, instead of
peace, has found the sword, of Macon, burnished
anew, at evory move it makes for tho advantage of
tho people. Will the people, or tho representatives
of the people, now taho sides with Macon aguinst
tho Central Company 7 They cannot fall to soe that
tho measure of consolidation is asked as well by the
■Macon A Western Road, as by the Central; they can
not fail to see that It Isa measure of pnbllcadvantago,
because it will immediately, by saving expenso aud
conoentrating actiou. vastly cheapen transportation.
Confessedly, upon the loco of tho preamble to their
resolutions, the town meeting at Macon desire to stop
cotton and other things in thoir market, to be sold or
oflbrod for sale tbore. Will tho representatives of tho
people be so blind as not to see their true interests 7
Tbe expectation is indulged that an answer—a fair,
candid and lawful answer, basbeen thus given to this
complaint ol discrimination against Macon. \>it Ma
con stick to her deed—to the hard terms she pot npon
tbe companies, as the companies have ever honestly
stuck to their deed, bad for them as the bargain is—
That would be upright and Mr. A*»y thing else _
not dpi >«ht and fair. Tbe companies ask only thoir
legal rights.
But the town tneotiiite goes further, and asks tho
repeal of the law giving conneotii.g companlei the
right to taiao their roada to tho Central. So far as
existing contract* are concerned the Legislature will
not attempt to Interfere. What mlschlof has been
worked by tho Inw 7 Without the aid and undertak
ing of the Central Company the Mlllodgcvlllo and
Eatonton branch roads would never havo been built.
Without that aid a road to Moutioello cannot be built.
Has tho Central Road, by it* aid to tho cltlxons of
Mltldla Georgia, done no good7 Without another
word on this bend the Central Company and Savan
nah might bo content to lesvo this point with tho re
presentatives of tho people. But a few more words
can, with propriety, he said. Who la now begging
the Georgia Railroad Company for aid to build and
incorporate for them a Railroad from Macon to War-
renton 7 Tho very cltlxons or Macon who cry ont
against tho Central Company and Savannah; and
these citizens are amongst tho foremost of tho men
who asked tho State for au omnibus Railroad act to
curry through tho Macon aud Warrenton ltoud, to
Injure if possiblo, Savanuali and tho Central Road.
Still further does tho town meeting of Macon go.
It goes even to the extent of enlightening tho peo
ple’s representatives with a new plan for managing
all tho railroads in Georgia—a plan now to all tho
railroads in the Union—a plan which, alter twenty
years’ experience iu tho conduct of railroads, tho con
centrated wisdom of railroad enginoers, managers
and directors, did not hit upon—a plan which tho in
genuity of Macon alone could produce. Tho meeting,
after saying that when tho legislature granted rail
road charters, it contemplated “that the charges for
transporting freight and passengers thereon would
be uniform, and alike to all, in proportion to the dis
tance tho satno might bo transported,” and tliut it has
been disappointed in “ this obviously just and reason-
ablo expectation,” by reason of all tho railroads in
Georgia charging *• for transportation between points
along thoir lines much higher rates, by tho mile, than
when transported from one terminus to tho other,"
asks the representatives from Bibb to cure the great
evil by proonring a law “ requiring each and all tho
railroads in thlB State to charge a separate sum far
loading and unloading all freight received upon their
respective roads, aud a certain rate per mile lor trans
porting tho sumo, which shall bo uniform and uliku
to all. in proportion to tbe distance tho same may bo
transported, and without regard to the points between
which tho samo may bo transported.” Sueh is tbo
new plan of getting round tho roads—tho plan of fix-
iug them—the plan, us Tom Jones’starling would
havo raid with an oath, to “ nick ’em.” Really this
onslaught upon uil tho railroads will, in spite ol tho
gravity of the subject, excite special laughter.
If tho Legislature contemplated any such tiling,
lmw cosy was it to linve said so iu the charters! Thu
Legislature was uot quite so green. It expected no
such thing—it expected that tho man who travelled
or carried his goods 600 miles on a railroad line,
would bo entitled to a little more consideration, and
a little hotter rate, than ho who went or carried only
tivo miles. It did not dream of the plan of making a
separate charge for loading and unloading—for. it
doubtless thought that a Company would be willing
to charge less for loading and unloading to one who
gave it a 600 mile job, than to him who only went in
for a five mile ndventure.
To ask the passage ol any such law is, in fact, an
absurdity ; the Legislature could not do it if it would—
it would not do it if it could. Produce and merchan
dize will conic and go to and from the sea despite
tho clamor of Macon to discharge them for sale in her
market.
If Macon were not, as sho rosily is, daily growing
in wealth, iu population, in tenements for rent, in
costly private residences, in schools, in ^irkshops,
in manufactures, iu good hotels, and iu all the de
ments of prosperity and stability, our rulers might
pauso to listen to this terrible thunder of her people
upon the Railroads, and to ascertain whether it was
.real bona fide thunder or not. As the cose stands,
seeing that Macon is prosperous beyond other inte
rior towns, that her prosperity depends upon her
connection with 8avannali, that her interests and
Savaunah’s interests aro mutual, they will, most
probably, conclude that the thunder is unreal—as
unreal as the roar of the celebrated Mr. I)aw, “tho
great intestino Roscius of bis day.” 'The reader, in
passing, will pardon this pleasantry; the new Macon
plan of working the Railroads alone provoked it.
If tho members of tho Senate and House of Rep
resentatives shall duly consider the application of
tho two Railroad Companies for consolidation, they
will see in it only tho certainty of quicker aud
cheaper transportation. They will apprehend no
greater danger from a singlo monopoly, if that nnmo
must bo used,than from two monopolies working to
gether. If n like measure, in the case of tbo Central
line of New York has, upon trial, met the approba
tion of the experienced and sagacious pcoplo of that
State, turning a lmlf dozen Buch monopolies into ono,
they will follow tho examples and confer a lasting
benefit upon tho people of Georgia, especially ujHtn
those who reside at points remote from the sea,

a company to Savannah embracing oomo of tho best
talent or tho oountry, aud spoilt his whole enterprise
by fblating upon ns the most Intolerable stick of a
tenor that ovor walked through hi* port. Tho taint
ed Do Vriea, a good singer and first rate actress—the
best Norma wo have over had hero—was his Prima
Donna. Tho docp, rich, voluptuous contralto, Yietti,
-—great In Moffio Orainl; tho respectable, portly, cor
rect Roil, the obliging, versatile, powerful Boneven-
tano, all sang and played, first to “ crowded bouses,"
next to 11 frill houses," then to “ good housos," and
finally to no houses at nil, against the withering,
freezing inaction and vocal modiocrity of the so-called
tenor of Lorinl. That speculation was a failure.
Aguin wo are visited by a Company ; and who aro
they 7 Let mo promise, Messrs. Editors, that it is not
fair to form an unchangeable opinion (and then, school
boy like, stick to it) from tiio first night’s perform
ance. Again we have Do Vries, a prima donna with
whom wo are all content. Wo will sit and listen to
her ovory night, and wo may safely promise It be
fore hand, for Bho is an actress nud will make
every part suit her whether adapted to her voico or
not. Then I see by the bills for to-night wo are to
havo Signora Bidonburg as Muffin O'si'/u, and thon
wo shall flud out who we aro to havo for our contralto.
Tiie basso is Taffanulli, for whom we predict great
sucoeM in Figaro. There is a remarkable* supio-
ness of tho knees, a quick, nervous, spasmodic sort
of action of tho muscles, which with his competent
voice, will carry him through with prodigious eclat.
There is a self-satisfied air about tho working of his
oountcnanco which will bo more ellbotive in tho fac
totum than in tho stern, cruel Lord Ashton. Yet ho
will hardly act better this season than he did In ex
pressing his violent romorso at findiug that tho suc
cess of hU plan for Lucia'B mnrriugo had deprived her
of reason.
If Signor Arnold! has a cold, and is suffering from
consequent hoarseness, (which really seems to bo the
case,) wo may yet discover that wo havo found a good
tenor. But if he sang that glorious role of Edgardo
in his own natural voico, that voico is deficient in
many of tho requirements of a good tenor. A bass
singer may, in a case of necessity, force himself
through his part; but so may not a teuor. We must
have no counterfeit material about his voice. He
must havo sweetness, ovenness, ease and purity, or lie
is no tenor. No man can have these and a bad cold at
the ramo time, therefore let ua wait before wo judge.
But a bad cold docs not interfere with the actor ; and
l ray to you in all candor, Messrs. Editors, that I do
not believe that Bencdetti or Salvi would havo mude
it necessary for Madame do Vries to pull and shako
their arms, in order to givo her an opportunity to ex-
hibit her grief at his abrupt departure, when he di.i.
covers sho lias signed tho contract. But if Signor
Arnoldi will como out of his present hoarseness with
a clear, swoet, even voice, we can well afford to waive
the actor for the singer.
Tho ohonis is ono of tho best wo havo ever had in
Savannah—woll drilled, prompt,and evenly balanced.
The orchestra, under tho able conduct of Arditi, is ns
perfect as that number of performers can be made. I
noticed on lost night, tho clarionet solo received tho
applause of tiffs leader himself, which,of courso.gavo
the cue to the dress circle. It was certainly very res
pectably executed. Arditi understands as well as any
leader I have ever seen, tho main object of his ap
pointment—to sustain and give finish to the vocaliza
tion ; aud ho accomplishes the purpose ho correctly
and completely as to placo tho vocalist entirely at
case in every passage,
The most discourteous and unnecessary noglcct
ever practised upon any party, this company seems
to have beeu subjected to. There aro no properties
there is no competent attendance, no furniture; there
is nothing, apparently, but the bare walls and that
worn-out scenery to recelvo them, mid contribute to
their success. This want of mdchanical forco about
tho theatre ha3 been a blur upon the conduct o( the
nrauagement from the begiuning of tho winter,
meanness, or want of capacity which has well nigh
ruined tho prospects of tho concern on otlior occa
sions this winter, and may yet break it up. If we
are to have the opera here, let us givo them a proper
reception before tho curtain if they deserve it; and
if wo do not see that they havo a proper reception
behind the curtain, they cannot inform us whether
they deserve to bo welcomed or not. Nothing short
of a feeling of disgust can bo excited by hearing tho
telling funeral bell produced by striking upon a
piece of old iron. There is but one way to designate
properly tills sort of management, and that is simply
calling it an imposition upon the urtists and upon the
audience.
aiu inclined to think wo shall not liavo tbo opera

all acta now of force, authorising and allowing tho Central
or any other Railroad Company to lease other Roads or use
and work them in connection with their own.
And whereas, in the opinion of this meeting the ohject
of the legislature In granting tho various Railroad char-
tors now of force in Georgia, was to advance and sub-erve
the iutereat of the State and public at large, contemplating
that the charges for transporting freight and psuen
thereon, would be uuiform and alike to all in prnportli

llesuli'ttl, That our Senators and Representatives are re-
quested to use thoir best endeavors to procure the passage
of a Inw requiring each and all the Railroads In this State

DcatU of Dr. McGouldrick.
Wo regret to learn that Dr. Richard McGouldrick,
an old and well-known citizen of Macon, died in Deca
tur county on tlio 25th of December last. The event
will not take our community by surprise, ns his health
for several months had been in a condition exceeding
ly precarious. Dr. McGouldrick was a nutivo of Ma
ryland, but had resided for more than twenty years iu
this city, where ho loaves many friends to lament his
loss. He wus a man of unusually quick perception,
and os a practitioner of medicine was highly huoccsh-
ful and popular. His nature wan emphatically kind,
nud few mon were endowed with e. disposition more
amiable and social than his. Requiescat in pace.—

Mnrylnndcra on the Siui Frnuclaco.
Among tho officers on board the steamer San Fran
cisco, a largo majority of those who distinguished
themselves for their disinterested efforts for the safe
ty and comfort of their fellow-passengers, Capt. Wat
kins, the noble commuuder of the steamer, is u Mary
lander, as are also Major Wy.-c, the two Liuiiteuuiits
Winder, Colonel Burke, uud Lieutenant Murray, of
the Navy, the latter of whom especially, is universal
ly spoken of as having exercised the kindly feelings
of ills nature to soothe and console the timid, and his
superior nautical knowledge to counsel with the offi
cers of the vessel uud give hope to the strong, that
their united labors would ultimately bo crowned with
success.
Major Wysewas bom in Baltimore comity, gradua
ted at the Military Academy iu West Point. 1837, ami
immediately thereafter proceeded to Florida, where
ho joined his regiment, and ho Imd to encounter hard
nnd nctive service in tbe Seminole war that was then
f oing on. When the war ended he was stationed in
'lorida, aqd continued in active service in the army,
in several stations, till tho Mexican war broke out, ut
which time he was sent with his regiment to Tampi
co. Here, by order of Colonel Gates, ho went with
the light battery under command of Col. Do ltussy,
to the rescue of the Eucarnation prisoners, of which
Major Borland, now our Minister in Central America,
was one. In this expedition tlio Americans, number
ing only ono hundred and twonty-Hvo men, were sur
rounded by a party of Mexican soldiers, of between
twelve and fifteen hundred. They wore then ut a
considerable distance from Tampico, and for three
days this small bund of Americans had to fight for
their safety. By their own unfailing bravery, aided
by the effective service of their artillery, thoy Kept the
Mexicans off, nnd succeeded iu reaching Tampico,
not, however, without the loss of some of their bra
vest men, among whom was Lieutenant Taney hill, a
volunteer from Baltimore. On this expedition their
grape-shot guvo out, and a most effective substitute
was made. They guthered load from some of the Mex
ican public buildings and made them into bullets.—
These thoy put into empty champagne bottles that
they found there, and charged them into tho artillery
guns, nnd fired them into the enemy witli most do-
Hiructive cfluct. For his conduct ou this occasion,
Cnpt. Wyse was breveted by President Polk with tlio
title of Major. Since the close of the Mexican war,
he had beeu in active service in the army, and at tho
time of tlio disaster to the San Francisco, wus on his
way to California, with tlio United States troops that
had beeu ordered there for tlio protection of that
country.
TUB DROWNED OFFICERS.
Major and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel John Mar
shall Washington, of the United States Army, who
was swept from tho deck of tho Han Francisco soon
after her troubles commenced, was oue ot the most
useful, ns ho had made himself one of tho most dis
tinguished artillery officers belonging to tho service.
He was a native of Virginia, and must have attained
tho ago of 68 or GO years. He graduated os a cadet
at West Point, iu tho class of 1813 ; was commission
ed Third Lieutenant in the Artillery in 1817, and rose
rank by rank, to his majority iu the Third Artillery,
iu 1847, February 10. In a week from this promotion,
he won his brevet as Lieutenant Colonel, by gallant
and meritorious conduct on the hotly-contested field
of Buoniv Vista. Ho wus a thorough tuctitian in the
artillery service, nnd ns early as 1824 was made in
structor in the Artillery School for practice at Fort
Monroe.
After the battle of Buena Vista, nnd at the close of
the Mexican War, in 1848, Major Washington was ap
pointed to command an expedition across tlio plains
of Mexico, via El Paso, to the Pacific Ocean, which
ho accomplished amidst the greatest physical difficul
ties, and the rigors of the climate. His command
was to the ninth military deparment, and from Octo
ber. 1848 to October. 1040, lie acted us the Military
Governor of New Mexico. Ho has since, we believe,
been chiefly attached to the service on the Pacific, nnd
it was while iu charge of nn additional artillery
force, destined tor that distant region, that lie lost his
life, on an element und by a calamity bo different
from tlio scenes of danger in which it has been bis
pride as a soldier to risk it.
Major George Taylor was a cadet of the class of
1833. He won his first brevet—tliut of Captain—in
the Florida war, in 1840, and was commissioned Cap-
tain in February, 1847. In 1842 lie served ns Assis
tant Professor of Mathematics ut West Point. In Oc
tober. 1847, he won his brevet of Major by gallant nud
meritorious conduct at the battle of lluaniuntla, in
Mexico, and iu July. 1848, distinguished himself in
action at Atlixco. IIo was a native of Georgia. Mrs.
Taylor was lost with him from tho wreck of the Sun
Francisco.
Captain Homco B. Field was of New York—agnid
nate at West Point of the class of 183G. He was made
brevet Captain tor gallant u meritorious conduct iu
the battle of Huamantla, m Mexico, in October, 1817.
He first entered tho 3d Artillery in July, 1850, at
Second Lieutenant.
Lieutenant Richard H. Smith was of Tonncssco, ap
pointed to one of the additional regiments authorized
in 1847—tlio 14th—as a Second Lieutenant, aud waa
transferred to the 3d Artillery in June, 1848.
THE RlCKNKflS ON THE HAN FRANCISCO.
Dr. Wm. P. Buell, Burgeon of the Ban Francisco,
has addressed a letter to the Herald in relation to tho
statement that the cause of tho sickness among tho
troops was tho eating or preserved fruits, and dissipa
tion nnd gluttony. He says that the statement is en
tirely erroneous, nnd desires in justice to the memory
or thoso unfortunates who perished under circum-
stances of awful distress, seldom paralleled, perhaps
never surpassed, to havo it stated. Thu sickness
broko out in tho socond cabin, occupied by soldiers’
families, capable of accommodating 200. but in which
GOO were stored without any means of ventilation,
and adds:—
Hero among women and children tlio cholera com
menced. They had never seen or tasted preserved
meats or fruits. On this point I made tho most par
ticular inquiries. Their food had been hard bread
and cold water. It was all wo had to give them, ex
cept that Homo mixed vinegar or molasses with the
water. These aleovcs after the Unit day or two were
filled witli the sick, dying and dead.
Tho atmosphere was such that I felt it to lie at tho
risk of my life evory time I entered them. These un
fortunates could not leave their berths to attend to
the ordinary calls of nature. The result can be bet
ter imagined than described. Wo have hero then in
operation, excessive overcrowding and accumulated
filth, without ventilutiou, bad air meagre and insuffi
cient diet. Add to these tbe strong influence of inoral
causes—all tlio depressing passions—fear, anxiety
agony of mind. Shall we look uny farther 7 ’
CaPT. ORKIQHTON ON ’t'lIANUK.
Capt. Creighton, of tho Three Bolls, a liuo looking
man, after uiuch importunity, appeared on ’Chango
at Now York ou Tuesday, and was most vociferously
cheered, receiving threo times three rounds or up-
plause. This uid uot satisfy tlio merchants and oth
ers— they wished him to mount tho stand so that all
could see him. Col. Janies Leo leading him und
others assisting, until lie was mounted on the stand
when lie uncovered and bowed politely to the multi
tude, who again gave a shout of three additional
cheers.
Tlw gallant captain seomod too much ovcrcomo for
utterance, and again bowiug in acknowledgment of
tbe com pi I monte-paid him, retired from the ntand in
company with Col. Lee. There was a grent rush to
shako him by the hand. A dense crowd surrounded
him, and were most happy to give his hand u shako.
Among those who approachedTiim were some of our
old respectable and retired sea captains, now engaged
as merchants or in other pnrsuita along shore nnd
who gave his hand a grip which only sailors know
how to give each other.

INTERESTING FACTS.
Further Inqnlry concerning tho ill-toted steamship
San Francisco, has elicited^ the toilowing tocte:
1. Sho wm entirely chartered by tlio Government
for tbe voyage, so that tho owners had no Interest lu
the amount of her cargo except to see that she wn*
not overloaded. Hair » cargo paid them Jost as
U1 2°Hor enSlVfreigbt list consisted of 3 AGO barrels
of Government stores, which could not have weigh
ed over 1,000 tons, and probably weighed less. Ito-
sides this, she carried 800 peiaon*, (mainly United
States troops, with their aims and baggage.) and her
coal. Estimating them at 50? pounds per bend,
(which seems large,) thoy add but 200 toua to her
3. Slie had 750 tons or coal on board when sho left,
which was considered by her owners bare y sufficient
to curry her not to Valparaiso but to Rio Janeiro, the
nearest practicable port nt which coa^ could be uro-
cured. There 700 tons had been sent to await her,
aud a like or larger amount to Valparaiso. Bhe was
chartered to stop at Rio Janeiro, Valparaiso and Ac
apulco for coal. Tho direction lo the engineer to
drive her but eight revolutions per minute was given
wiili a view to tlio fact that her coal was considered
barely sufficient to Inst her to Rio—too iittlo If she
were driven rapidly. I
4. Counting every tiling sho carried, she would
scorn to havo nad but 1.750 tons. Her rated capacity
was 2,500 tons. We think these facts exonerate the
owners from blame with respect to her loading und
management. As to her modtf, we arc not convin
ced that it was a good one. Good iudges havo pro
nounced her too square behind, while others declure
that she was quite sharp there. Bo with regard to
her draft of water. We ore assured tliut it was but
iittlo over sixteen foct at tho bow and less than fif
teen nt tho stem, which, for a vessel twenty-five feet
deep, was not unusual. Of course, tlio judgment that
her guards were within two feel of tho water when
hIio left our harbor, was erroneous.

From tlio nultlmora American.
Capt. James T. Watkins, the Commamlcr-of
. the Steamer Ban Francisco.
Messrs. Dobbin & Fulton :—Allow the correction
of an error, into which all our Baltimore papers have
fallen, lu making Annapolis the birth place of Capt.
Watkins, of the ill toted steumer Ban Francisco. An-
nu|>oli* was not the birth place nor ever the residence
of Captain Watkins. He was born ut No. 221 Wolfe
street, near Alice Annn.ubout the year 1810. and was
early bereft of both parents ; his father, Capt. James
Watkins, was lost at sen, by shipwreck, returning to
Baltimore from the West fudlcs. His mother, when
dying, gave tier two children, “James Thomas"
(Capt. W.) and “ Margaret," to the care of her broth
er, Capt. Thomas Kennedy, formerly a shipmaster
out of tills port, but now a resident of Hpringfleld,
Ohio; by him they were raised nnd educated, and
with Captain Kennedy, James Thomas began his sea
faring life, in the schooner Lapwing, of Baltimore,
and for several years lie sailed out of Baltimore. His
wife, was n native of Anne Arundel county, but had
been for a long timo a resident of Baltimore, (Lex
ington street,) and was a Baltimorean when she wus
married to Capt. Watkins. His life from boyhood lias
been eventful; many thrilling uud touching instances
urc told of him, in ull of whirli ho lias exhibited the
same uniform coolness, firmness, and valor. It was
his voluntary arrest of the riugleuilcr of a mutiny, on
a ship coming from tiio Pacific to New York, (ho a
passenger) that brought to him the attention and
favor of a loading Boston merchant, through whose
agency he entered into the East India trade, where
ho became distinguished, not only tor thoqnnlitics
that constitute a seaman uud commercial agent, but
also for intrepid bravery.
While in command of tlio Antelope (1G guns,) he
was placed in temporary chargo of the steamer Can
ton and assisted a British war vessel in capturing a
fleet of junks; for this service, not only an admiralty
vote of thanks was given to him, but also by the offi
cers on tlio station, a splendid sword, a notice of
which I suLjoin from n Boston paper.
A splendid gold mounted sword lias been present
ed to Capt. James T. Watkins, of Baltimore, by offi
cers of Her Majesty's ships Columbine, Fury nud
Hastings, for the gallant assistance which lie render
ed in tlio destruction of a Chinese piratical fleet on
the 23d of September and 1st of Octolicr, 18411. Capt
Watkins was at tbe time iu command of the steamer
Clinton, on the coast of China, aud while cruising in
search of a missing vessel, came across a fleet of junks
and the British war brig Columbine in pursuit. He
made fast to the brig and 'towed i or to a position
where she was enabled to bring her guns to beurwith
good effect. The flight and pursuit was continued
until tiie junks were taken ond 1800 pirates either
killed or taken prisoners. After the pirates were
driven into a creek. Captain Watkins joiued the boats
of the Columbine in pursuit, und himself slew a doz-
i of tiie pirates.
Justice and truth nliko demand tills correction ; to
which may bo udded that his host of frionds in East
Baltimore think the honor of his birth place should be
known to bo Old Fell’s Point.
