LOCAL AFFAIRS. A Curiosity. Mr. J. G. McKee lias placed in our office a nondescript in the shape of a wa termelon, so intimately connected with a grape vine as to be apparently inexplica ble. Whether a freak of nature or inten tional, it is a decided curiosity in its way. Douglas in our City. We learn that Mr. *Marcellus Douglas, the Opposition candidate in this (the 2d) District, will address the citizens of this place, at Temperance llall, on next Fri day evening. We presume Mr. Crawford will be present also. .lust tl>e Iloolc. for tire Season. .1. W. Pease, bookseller, has placed us under obligation fora copy of “Knitting- Work, wrought by Ruth Partington”— a work by 15. P. ShiFaber, the Partington of the lloston Post. If you would deliver yourself from those malignant spirits— the blue devils ; “ this intellectual Punch” is a sovereign and most agreeable remedy. . Ain UHCintiiU in Prospective. Mr. Lloyd, the obliging agent of Tem perance Hall, informs us that he is in receipt of letters from those star theat rical managers and performers: W. 11. Crisp and W. 11. Fleming, in which they anuounce their intention of appearing, each with a full corp of actors and ac tresses, in Columbus, early in the season. All fond of the amusements of the drama, will receive the intelligence with interest. Two Fine Plantalons for Sale. As will be seen by reference to our ad vertising columns, Messrs. J. S. Williams und M. D. Oliver, Sr., offer for sale fine plantations. From our long personal ac quaintance with these gentlemen we cheerfully recommend their respective advertisements to the attention of all persons desiring profitable investments. Land hunters should not fail to improve the opportunities afforded for making good bargains. Attend to that Street. Wc allude to the part of Crawford street on the north side of fche Court House square. We notice the hands removing a large quantity of dirt from Oglethorpe street, on the west side of the Court House. Why not, George, put it in the centre of Crawford street, and show our citizens what a nice street you can make with side drainage. Try the experiment at this place, and see if every one will not be pleased with your ideas. Fine Egg Plant. Mr. W. 11. 11. Phelps lias laid upon our table a large specimen of Egg Plant, ( Solatium Esculentum.) We append his remarks in the note accompanying the plant: “ 1 scud you this Egg Plant as a speci men of what can be done in raisiug this excellent vegetable. It has withstood worms and drought, when every thing else was entirely destroyed. It weighs 2i pounds, and meusures 181 inches in circumference each way.” It Meeds Attention. The crossing near the Opelika Depot, is in a very bad condition at present, and should be promptly remedied by the prop er authorities. The rise from <he road to the track is very steep and the embank ment, which is of red clay, very soft, ma king it almost impossible for the lightest vehicles to pass over. The crossing should be graded, with a gradual slope, arid then planked wide enough to permit teams to pass either way. W’o trust the Marshall, if in his jurisdiction, will see to the evil at once, and have it remedied, and if it is the duty of the rail road company to have the crossing put in order, see that they do it, befoi’e cotton wagons begin to come in. Tlie Westminster Review. The issue of this most excellent Pe riodical for July, is on our table. As all Leonard, Scott & Co’s, republications commence volumes with issues for July —now is a convenient time to commence a Subscription for Periodicals that will doubly repay time expended in reading them. The Westminister lleview con tains eight attractive articles, as follows: What Knowledge is of most Worth; Jowett and the Broad Church; The In fluence of Local causes on National Char acter: The Life of a Conjurer ; The Gov ernment of India—its Liabilities and lie- ! sources ; Recollections of Alexander Von ! Sternberg ; The Roman Question ; Aus trian Intervention, together with the usual Contemporary Literature. ——-*■ How U It! We would like very much to know the position of the City Couucil versus the swine. Many of the porkers are ruuning at large in the streets, while a large number are still kept imprisoued. Now, as for ourselves, we are of the anti-swine liberty party, and do not like to see par tiality shown. If only a few of the swine are entitled to the run of the streets, all the melon rinds, peach peelings, and j empty sugar casks, it ought to be known \ which are the favored oues. There are ‘ very many other swine owners in this city who, iu obedience to the mandates of Council, are keeping their swine up, and they are extremely anxious to know, gentlemen of the Council, whether you have “renigged” on the swine-penning sensation. Come out like men, and own up, if you are unable to play the hand. A Fast City. From the Memphis Evening Argus, of ] Btli instant, wo compile the following, heads of local items which were gathered 1 up in that city in one day. Now don’t the local of the Argus have a honey time of it! What would we do if more acci dents and fights would happen in Colum bus ? But here's the bill of fare for the 7th: “ Drayman Injured “Drunk and Disorderly;” “Fast Driving:” (we’ll make a local about this, in Columbus, some day, if the bloods do not look sharp,) “ Pocket Picked ;” (a printer's pocket! gracious, what vandalism!) “ Fight on i Bhelby street, with clubs and brick bats ;” , “Infanticide;” “Fighting:” “Mortuary -—nineteen deaths for the week ;” “ Pro bable fatal Affray,” (two printers;) “ Serious Stabbing Affair ;” “Accident;” “Supposed Murder;” “Row at a Dance S House;” “Sent up:” “Another Great Conflagration—estimated loss $100,000;” “Still another Fire—loss $250;” “Wife i Whipped.” Well, don’t you give it up, reader, that the bill for Memphis, Tenn., 1 is full ? Fast place, that Memphis ! Columbus City Directory. W e yesterday received a copy of the new directory published in and for the city of Columbus, (Ga.,) by Messrs. Mears & Cos., the same that compiled the city directory for this city. Its typo graphical appearance is excellent, and it is doubtless accurate in compilation. It contains about 1,750 names, and will prove very convenient for reference among the citizens of our sister city. We are glad to observe that the advertising pa tronage bestowed on the compilers is ex tensive. They are eminently deserving gentlemen, of undoubted integrity, great enterprise, and we wish them success in their future undertakings.— Mont. Adv. River Bride. At a meeting of the passengers of the River Bride, from Eufaula, ou the sth iust., on her trial trip, Mr. J. H. Dan fortli was called to the chair, and S. 11. Dent requested to act ns Secretary, when the following resolutions were unani mously adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of the pas sengers are due Capt. I’endergrast and officers for their kindness, attention and liberality, during this very pleasant trip. Resolved, That we can recommend the “Rride” as one of the swiftest, steadiest and smoothest running boats on the river, 1 and that we believe the experiment a de ! cided success. Resolved, That from the well known I character of her officers, and from what we have seen of the boat, we can heartily recommend her to the confidence and patronage of this community. J. H. DANFORTH, Ch’n. S. 11. Dent, Secretary. August sth, 1859. LIST OF PASSENGERS. I J. M. CARET, J 11. BUTT, 11. M. HUNTER, * 11. COOK, W. G. SHADIIACK, 11. M. SMITH, A. J. VEAL, WM. L. BALLARD, J. J. CARTER, JOHN E. BRAY, J. HARDMAN, J. N. HAMILTON, B. F. TREADWELL,WM. WELLBORN, J. A. WALKER, JOHN C. KELLEY, D. St. LEGER, M. KING, Esq., w. S. DANFORTH, ROBT. BRANNON, Uncle Sam Outwitted. Every body knows Uncle Sam Koocko gey as the embodiment of good humor and noble heartedness, extremely fond of a joke, whether it is on his side or against him. Traveling not long since, through the State of Mississippi, he entered a ; small town where there was, to use his own emphatic language, more children, and pretty ones, than he ever saw in any town. In the course of his perambula tions around the place, be came up to one of the good ladies of the town industri ously engaged in the duties appertaining ito housewifery. He rounded to, and ac costed her with the usual salutations.— After introducing himself as Uncle Sam j Koockogey, from away over in Georgia, he remarked to lier, “Madame, I have j traveled nearly all over the Union in search of a place where there was no j children, and I have not yet found any such place.” The lady stopped her work and looked upon him for a moment and replied, “Mister, if you want to find a place where there’s no children, you j must first find a place where there’s no women.” Uncle Sam says he come to the conclu sion that the lady was ahead of him by several tricks that time, and he returned at once to his hotel, satisfied that her doctriuc was cwrect. The Rail Road Bridge. We are pleased to state that Maj. How ard, the energetic President of the Mo bile and Girard Rail Road, has a large force of hands at work on the bank, blast ing out and dressing rock for the piers to the bridge, on which the track of his road will cross to Georgia soil. It is cheering to see such progressive signs of an early completion of a work so much desired by every friend of the road, and particularly our merchants. And in this connection, we must not omit to notice the building of a rail way, which we shall designate the Chattahoochee River Bank Rail Road. Its purpose is to transmit the rock for the piers to the site of the bridge. The idea is a good one and eco nomical. We hope soon to hear the whis tle of the Mobile and Girard Road loco motive iu our city. Anything Stirring To-day 1 Yes, considerable any quantity of drays, carriages, buggies, rockaways, ex presses, rail roads, oinnibusses, horses, hogs, cows, the goat at Temperance Hall, Prof. Mason’s “juvenile children,” the mechanics on the Baptist and Presbyterian Churches, Rankin’s new building, and at the various machine and carpenter shops. In short, everywhere there is a considera ble stir, except among the mer chants, who seem to have “tied up for the season,” in consequence of “low wa ter.” “Anything strange ?” you ask of the little Factory girl. “Well, I reckon there is considerable, if you call a few thousand spindles whirling as if they would tear themselves into a thousand giblets, stirring, sir, yes, sir; a conside rable stirring.” “Anything stirring?” we ask the pretty weaver, with her four looms. “I guess yon’d think so, if you | were attending to every loom in the city one day.” “Anything stirring?” you ask the editor. “Nothing more than we manufacture, and that is pretty hard work about now, as the raw material is extremely scarce.” More Complaints. Avery worthy gentleman, and old citi , zen, requests us to call the attention of i the proper authorities to the practice of throwing into the streets waste tin and iron, from the tin shops and gin manu- . factory. He has a servant who recently j trod on some pieces from the j Gin Factory, which has assumed a very j serious aspect. Every one is aware of i the dangerous nature of rusty iron or ! steel to the human body. Many cases are ou record of lockjaw and death, re sulting from a rusty nail penetrating the foot. We know enough of the gentlemen in charge of the Gin Factory, as well as the tin shops, to say that they do not continue the practice through auy willful design, and we doubt not will do their duty in avoiding putting it in the street in future. It is the business of the public carts and hands to remove this rubbish so soon as itis deposited in the street, so as to prevent accidents, and we trust they will attend to it. Rowdies Around. We learn that a portion of this hopeful class of mankind, which infest every city, > town and village, were bruising around ou Friday night at unusual hours, and committing depredations upon the prop erty of peaceable and gentlemanly citi j zens. We are somewhat surprised that they should escape the vigilant eye of our City Police. Are you afraid of the Supreme Court, gentlemen ? The police should do their duty, and risk the con sequences. Look very Picturesque. Those wagons, drays, carts, carriages, buggies, rockaways, &c., which are per mitted to stand in the streets. It may be very convenient to our livery stable men, 1 but is not very ornamental, or conve nient to every body. There used to be an ordinance prohibiting all this, but we presume it has been permitted to go into retiracy, like many others, for fear of that monstrous Supreme Court. All Right on tlie Swine. One of the City Aldermen, has in formed us that the anti-swine law is still in force, but at present inoperative, for the want of faithfulness on the part of the Marshal. This is rather a bad show ing for Jim and George, and we hope they will put themselves right. The Bun for the Summer. PersoAi abo contemplate leaving tbe city dui- j ing tbe coming summer months, will bear in mind that they can have tbe Daily Son sent to their address, by calling at the clerk’s desk and : paying 50 cents per month. > Tlie River Bride. This model little steamer, in com mand of Capt. Pendergrast, madeher first appearance at our wharf cn Friday morn ing last, and was received by our citizens with many demonstrations of welcome. The “ Bride” is the lightest steamboat ever built for this river, we believe, and is pronounced by every oue who has seen her, a decided success. She arrived , here with forty-five tons of freight, draw ing only 20 inches. As to her build, we think her model is unexceptionable, and her engine works like a charm. The hull was built by the veteran steamboat-man I Charley Blain, and tbe engines by a firm in Columbus, Ga., and truly, the splen did manner in which they have executed the work, reflects the greatest credit on both parties, and shows conclusively that we can compete successfully with the mechanics of the North and West. Through the politeness pf her gentleman ly and accommodating Captaio, some twenty of our citizens took passage on the “ wee thing ” to Fcrt Gaines and back, and every one was perfectly delighted with the trip. The distancefromone wharf to the other 1 (over 40 miles) was run going down, in 2 hours and 50 minutes, and tbe trip back was made in a fraction over 5 hours. Owing to the chimney being too small to give sufficient draft, she could not make a full head of steam, and con sequently, did not run as fast as she will when this defect is remedied. The traveling| public, as well as the merchants and planters along the river, have every reason to congratulate them selves on the success of this enterprise, as they can come and go, and send and receive goods, even in the middle of the summer, without delay, expense and trouble to which they have been heretofore subjected. It behooves every one of them therefore to patronize the “ River Bride,” and show their apprecia tion of the noble enterprise, and encour age the working men who have invested their all in building her. If properly managed she is obliged to make money, for her accommodations are excellent, and her expenses will be light. All she asks is patronage, and certain ly the people, who have business to do on the river, will not be so blinded to their interests as not to give it to her. Anoth er thing should be considered in this con nexion, she is only charging customary rates, which is something unusual in the summer season. The spirit of liberality on the part of her owners should be en couraged and appreciated. ‘Persons in this section who are getting goods from the North, should lby all means send them to Columbus to be brought down by* this boat, as it will be cheaper and more expeditious. We feel confident that if she would establish a regular schedule and run by it, she would do better, for then those who wish to order goods, or travel, could calculate with certainty on her arrivals and departures, and not be compelled to resort to other modes of conveyance, as is • too often the case. We would respectfully suggest the pro priety of this to those who have the ! management of her. We heartily wish the “River Bride,” her officers and own ers the greatest success. Hurrah for Southern enterprise!— Eufaula Express. The objection alluded to by the Express has been removed, by the removal of her I small chimneys and the substitution of : others of sufficient diameter, to make “a full head of steam.” The extract annexed is from a corres pondent of the Charleston Courier of ! August sth. He writes from Archer, the j present terminus of the Florida Rail j Road: The crops in this section are looking and doing remarkably well, especially cotton. Exemption from the caterpillar j and violent storms the residue of the sea- i son, will be the means of the cotton crop ! —Sealsland—of East Florida being great- i er by nearly, if not quite, one half than j that of any previous year. The greater portion of this crop will find its way over : the Florida Rail Road to Fernandina, and thence to Chai’leston for a market, j Though I should not be surprised to see quite a market established in Fernandina for the sale of cotton for direct shipment thence to European ports. The quantity j of the staple which will be shipped over j the Florida Rail Road to that young and | thriving city, and the fact of there al- \ ways being a sufficiency of water on the bar at that place, would certainly seem to justify the prediction. From this point (which you will bear in mind is the present terminus of the | Florida Rail Road, distant one hundred and fifteen miles from Fernandina, and between which points the cars are now running) an excellent line of stages is now running to Cedar Keys, thus making the transit to and from Cuba, the Isthmus and the South-western States regular, safe and pleasant to the immense num ber of persons who have occasion semi occasionally to travel by some route or i other. The Cuba mails are now carried over this route, and on the completion of the road, which will certainly be some time the coming Fall or early in the Win ter, the great Southern mail will doubt less also be carried over this road. It certainly will if expedition, regularity and economy are considered, as I believe they are by the present able and efficient Postmaster General. * Charleston and Savannah Road. We congratulate the friends of this en terprise, says the Charleston Courier, on the encourageing information contained in the letter from the general contract ors, Drane & Singletary, to President Drayton, as follows: Col. Thomas F Droyton, Presdent Charleston and Sananmh Bail Boad. Dear Sir —We are pleased to inform you that we have recently secured the services of Messrs. McDowell & Callag- j non, withe their force of one hundred and fourteeu negro hands. They will proba- j bly commence work on the 10th. This accession} to our present force on tbe Road ensures the completion of the en tire Road, with the exception probably of some fifteen or twenty miles of track laying, by January, 1860. The well known character the above gentlemen bear for energy, perseverance and attention to business, places beyond a doubt the completion of the portion of Road they have undertaken to do. The work will be vigorously pushed, and we i have no hesitation in sayiDg that if the Savannah River Bridge was done the cars j could pass from Charleston to Savannah by March, 1860. Respectfully yours, Drank & Singletary. The Selma Daily Courier, speaking of the boll-worm in tbe cotton crop, says : For some days we have been listening for the announcement, by the farmers, of the appearance of the boll-worm on the cotton crop. On yesterday the cry came to us from the bottom lands on the Caha ba, and from the prairies. Tbe farmers inform us that they have never known these ravagers make a more vigorous on slaught than they have on the present crop. The weather, just now, is peculiar ly favorable to their increase. Thus, we fear, has been blasted one of the most flattering prospects for a crop of cotton that has been known for several years. We yet hope that our friends have look ed on the dark side of the picture, and that the ravages of these destroyers may not prove general. Georgia Patents. In the list of patents, issued from the | United States Patent Office, for the week ending August 9th, 1859—each bearing that find one to Elijah P. Beau champ, of Preston, Ga., for improvement in cotton-seed planters, one to Lawson G. Peel, of Webster county, Ga., for im provement in corn-planters, and one to j Charles A. Robbe, of Augusta. Ga., for improvements in gas retorts. Peabody’s Strawberries and Corn. Mr. Peabody, of Georgia, has a well earned reputation as an agriculturist, and an interesting account of his country place and his peculiar farming, taken from a Columbus (Ga.) paper, will be found in the advertisement of Mr. Wal ter MortOD, 3 Poydras street, who for many years has been Mr. Peabody’s agent for the sale of his hautboy strawberry plants and prolific corn.— N. 0. Picayune. A decidedly new feature has been added to Godey's Lady '3 Book iu tbe getting up of a “Health Department.” It is conducted by Dr. John L. Wilson, near this city, au intelligent physician, a fluent and graceful writer. We subjoin an extract from a receut number : Exercise among the Fashionables— The Hope of our Country. —The major ity of youDg ladies educaied according to the notions of modern society are ruined in health by the time they leave school; but should one possess sufficient natural vigor of constitution to resist the destruc tive influences to which she has been sub jected, the work of death is generally completed when she enters society. She then doffs short dresses and pantalettes, which are exchanged for long skirts, that are anything but favorable to free muscu lar movements. She is now denied the ; little liberty she had in her girlish days; and the little exercise allowed her by so ciety is far from beiDg the best for the promotion of health and vigor. Exercise on foot is considered ungenteel, and is taken either not at all or only when the weather and everything else are perfect ly favorable ; and then this exercise, as it is called, is a mere listless stroll for a : short distance, and is unworthy the name of exercise, in comparison with those’ full, free, natural, unrestrained move ments which bring all the muscles into play, expand the luDgs, quicken the cir culation, arouse the brain, invigorate the digestive organs, *and reanimate all the vital powers. These candidates for fash ionable honors (!), instead of employing themselves in some useful occupation that would give healthful exercise to both mind and body, spend their days in lounging on sofas 01* in making fashionable car riage calls, while their mental food con sists in the idle gossip aed the trifling in anities of fashionable life, or in some overwrought story of sickly sentimental ism. And are these the hopes of our coun try ? Are these the mothers of a future generation ? If so, our prospects are gloomy, indeed! If so, the term of hu man life, already so frightfully abbrevia ted, must grow shorter and shorter, until the race becomes extinct. But, thank God, these are only a frac tion of the human family, confined mostly to the higher circles of city life. In the country, we have a large reserve of Na ture’s noble women, blooming, healthy maidens, who know nothing of the de structive follies of uppertendom, or, knowing, disregard them, because they are at war with common sense, subversive of morals, restrictive of rational liberty, and ruinous to health. We do not pretend to say that all coun try girls are everything that they should be; but in their observance of the laws of health generally, and particularly in the matter of exercise, they are far in advance of the fashionable devotees of city life; and it is to the country we must look for the salvation of our race ’ from physical as well as moral degenera cy. Will not the country women of America awake, then, to their high desti ny ? Will they not study, obey, and preach the gospel of health, until the tide of fashionable folly is turned back, which is sweeping off so many in our cities, and threatening to spread disease and death throughout the land ? The communication annexed is from a Utica paper, in the State of New York. From the description given by its corres pondent, the successful culture of Pea body’s llautbois in the North may be considered as established. It is the same plant for which the Alabama State Agri cultural Society awarded Mr. Peabody a gold medal. To the Editor of tlie Morning Herald. Fealiody’s llautbois. “Wife, into the garden, and set me a plot, With strawberry roots, of the best to be got.” So sang Thomas Tusser, three centu ries ago, in his “ Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandrie.” If he could revise his Georgic with the benefit of my expe rience, to-day, he would be apt to do his own planting,.select Peabody’s llautbois as “the best to be got,” and invite his wife to join him in making two bites of a berry. Before me is a basket of strawberries from the garden of Mr. E. B. Lucas, which one can contrive to see without a microscope, and eat without making wry faces. About one half of them will meas use four inches in circumference. They are of irregular shape, somewhat flat, (not in taste, but in form,) and lobed, like a melon. They have a sweeter, finer flavor than Wilson’s seedling, and—judg ing from the sample before me—are well worth the attention of northern cultiva tors. The plants were from the grounds of Charles A. Peabody, of Columbus, Ga., by whom they were first cultivated. Compare them with the small acid straw berries which rustic girls retail from their tin pails, and one cannot help won dering that any man or woman owning or renting a rood of sojl, should neglect the culture of this fruit. q. v. Clinton, June 16, 1859. How a Soldier Feels iu Battle. A young French officer thus writes of his first experience in battle : Our officers kept back, for we were not numerous enough to charge upon the enemy. This was, however, most pru dent, for this murderous fire, so fatal to the white coats, did us but little harm. Our conical balls penetrated their dense masses, while those of the Austrians whistled past our ears and respected our persons. It was the first time I had faced tire, nor was I the only one. Well, lam satisfied with myself. True, I dodged the first balls, but Henry IV., they say, did the same at the beginning of every battle. It is, in fact, a physical effect, independent of the will. But, this tribute paid, if you could only feel how each shot electrifies you. It is like a whip on a racer’s legs. The balls whistle past you, turn up the garth around you, kill one, wound another, and you hardly notice them. You grow intoxica ted, the smell of gunpowder mounts to your brain. The eye becomes blood-shot, and the look is fixed upon the enemy. There is something of all the passions in that terrible passion excited in a soldier by the sight of blood and the tumult of battle. Everybody who has tried it testifies to to the peculiar intoxication that is pro duced by beiDg in a battle. There is an infatuating influence about the smell of powder, the shrill whistle of a bullet, and the sight of human blood, that in stantly transforms men from cowards to heroes—from women sometimes to mon sters. None can tell of the nature or mystery of that influence, but those who have been in the fray themselves. 1 New Propeller for tlie N. V. and Sa vannah Line. Samuel Sneden has now on the stocks of his shipyard in Greenpoint, New York, a propeller for the above line, of about 1,900 *ons, carpenter’s measurement, to be called the “ Richard R. Cuyler,” in compliment to our highly esteemed fellaw citizen, the President of the Central rail road. She is 225 feet long, 32 feet beam, and 25 feet depth of hold, and is con structed in the most complete and thor ough manner, and of the best materials ; it being the intention of the builders and owners to have her as strong as wood and iron can make her. She is to be fitted with one inverted cylinder engine of 70 inches diameter and 4 feet stroke—a sac simile in design of the engines of the screw steamers Montgomery and Hunts- i ville, but of much larger dimensions. ‘ The ship will be launched in about three weeks, and her machinery, which is near ly completed, will be put into her with all possible dispatch, with the intention of getting her into the line early this fall. Mr. Sneden has also made arrange ments for the building of iron steamers, and has now on the stocks, approach ng completion, an iron side wheel steamer of 700 tons, the Alabama, to run from New Orleans to Mobile via Lake Pont chartrain, in Capt. Jas. L. Day’s line.— Savannah Republican. Merchants’ Shipping Beceipts. Anew supply, just from the binder’s bands neatly rnled and well bound, for sale at the SUN OFFipe.

France is preparing for a naval disarm ament. The Paris Bourse closed, on Wednes day, at G 8 45. The American Minister at Rome has obtained four hundred dollars compensa tion for Perkins, in the Perugia affair. The steamers Asia, Hungarian, Ade laide and A3tna, had reached Liverpool. The French army of the Rhine had been | dissolved. In England, anew Indian loan of five million pounds sferling had been an ! nounced. The compensation grauted to the Per kin’s family, by the Papal Government, for losses sustained at Perugia, is about two hundred dollars. | Numerous disasters had occurred to | American ships. The Glencoe, from | New York to Bremen, took fire on the ! 30th of July, ran ashore near Bremenha ven, and burnt to the water’s edge. The Abby Blanchard, for New Orleans, took fire at Bordeaux, on the 29th of July, but the damage was not known. The Ilauover, from New York, was total ! ly wrecked on the South Bank, near i Shanghae; the crew were saved. The Saxonville from Boston, to Hong Kong, was put into Manitius in a leaking | condition: a part of her cargo was thrown overboard. The Robert, (sup posed to be the Robert M. Sloan) from Gottenberg to Boston, sprung aleak near Skagen, and was run ashore near Jut land ; about fifty passengers were landed at Hayerting. The Alexander, from Mar- I seilles to New York, stranded near Gibralta. | # Arrival of tlie Quaker City. New York, August 12. — The steam ship Quaker City has arrived from Ha vana, with dates to the Bth inst. The yellow fever has assumed an epi demic form in Havana. The British mail steamer had arrived there with two millions in specie from Mexico. The Purser of the Quaker City reports no demand for Sugars; 7J reals were offered for number twelve, but it was held at 7f. The stock in Havana was 250,000 boxes. Exchanges had improved; London was quoted at 15, and New York 5J premium. Great Gathering of the Song oI Mhl ta—Election of Cardinals. The St. Paul, (Minn.,) Pioneer of the 20th ult., gives an account of the gather | ingof the Sons of Malta, at the Falls of ; Minnehaha. We quote the following: The delegates present and by proxy proceeded to ballot for the nine Cardi ; q,als—electing one at. a time. The elec tion was spirited, and the friends of the different candidates labored zealously for their favorites—the contest being as to who should be chief of the Cardinals. Ten ballots were had, and the last one resulting in the election of Jerome Bona parte. The defeated candidates were Stephen A. Douglas, Guisepjte Garibaldi, Louis Kossuth, Prince Albert, George Peabody, John W. Forney, John Slidell, Gov. Alex. Randall. The remaining eight regular Cardinals were elected, each on a ballot, as follows : Geo. Peabody, of London; Louis Kos suth, of Hungary ; Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, U. S. ; John W. Forney, of Pennsylvania, U. S. ; Alex. Randall, of Wisconsin, U. S.; Alex. Ramsey, of Minnesota, U. S. ; Don Alvarez Merrino, of Cuba. Supreme G. R. Cardinals were “then ap pointed as follows: New York City— Henry Ward Beecher, John Van Buren, Isaac V. Fowler and Horace Greely. Boston—Gov. Banks, Charles G. Greene and William Schouler. Cincinnati—J. Scott Harrison, G. E. Pugh, Frederick Hunt and A. W. Francisco. Cleveland— Col. S. Bliss, Stephen A. Sturges, Dr. G. Ames, Gen. J. W. Fitch, A. P. Winslow, Gen. B. Senter, A. W. Fair banks, Dr. E. T. Sterling and Chas. F. Brown. Toledo—Gen. James B. Steed man, C. R. Dennett, 11. P. Smith and Col. J. R. Bond. The remuneration of the S. G. R. Car dinals is to be in proportion to their ser vices. It will be seen that, although Europe again has the Chief of the Order, the United States have virtually five of the Cardinals. As Don Alvarez Merrino is a devoted friend of the project of annex ing Cuba to this country, Cuba is to be classed hereafter, so far as the action of this Order is concerned, as already part and parcel of the Union. This has been decreed by a unanimous vote of the Car- j dinals present. There were many distinguished brethren ; from abroad, among whom none com manded more deservedly the attention of the Assembly than Cardinal Haroun Bey, j of Constantinople, and it was regretted ! by all that he would not consent to act as one of the Cardinals for the ensuing year. The brethren are indebted to Franklin 1 Steele, Esq., for the comfortable quar- j ters in which the feasts in the old fort j was held. The feast was only attended by six of the Cardinals, three of the most distinguished and worthy Cardinals hav ing been detained in Europe by the pres ent war. There were several delegates from Eu rope, and a number of Grand Command ers from almost every State in the Union, and Cuba, who, together with a few brethren abroad, participated with, the Cardinals in the feast, which was conce ded on all hands to be one of the most sumptuous and splendid ever gotten up in this country. Over two million mem bers of the Order were represented, and . from all parts the most encouraging re ports were received of the “condition” i of the Order, and its rapid increase. The time and place for the meeting of the grand body next year was not agreed upon, owing to the absence of a large ma jority of the Cardinals, whose duty it is, under the constitution, to designate the time and place. The proceedings of the American Sci- 1 entitle Association, at Springfield, on Monday, were possessed of unusual inter est. Prof. Silliman, Jr., called attention to the effects of lightning on gas pipes. | The question of the increase of danger to dwelling houses from the introduction of pipes, was discussed. Fros. Pierce read a paper on the personal peculiari ties of astronomers, and Prof. Loomis read one relative to the Laws of Storms. A paper on the Geology of the Rocky Mountains, by Mr. William I*. Blake, attracted considerable attention. ‘South Western Kntl Rand. The President and Directors of this toad made their report at Macon on the 11th instant. Weextiact a portiuu re lating to the extension to Fort Gaines and Eufaula, from the report of the Chief Engineer, as being of more interest to this city, and our friends at the terminus of each line-from the junction The gra ding, it seems, is being rapidly extended to Eufaula, having been finished to Pa taula’ Creek, west of the junction with the Fort Gaines line, thelst of July last. It is the opinion ot the Chief Engineer that the entire grading, to Eufaula, will be completed by the Ist of March next, in which event the citizens of Eufaula will witness the coming of the train to the east bank of the Chattahoochee by the Ist of May. On the Ist of September next, thereafter, a similar event will mark an era in the history of Fort Gaines: Eufaula Line.—All the grading, clear ing, grubbing and masonry on this line from Junction with Fort Gaines line to Pataula Creek, was finished the Ist of July, and is progressing rapidly between Pataula Creek and Eufaula. If the contractors succeed in doing as much work in the next six months as they have in the last six, (and I know of no reason whj r they may not) the entire grading, &c., will be completed by the 15th of February, or Ist of March next. If so, there is no reason why we may not be running our trains to the river at Eu faula by the first day of May next. Bridges. —The bridge across Ilolanee or Butler’s Mill Creek, 400 feet long, is beiDg built, and will be completed in a | few days. Most of the timber for the bridge across Pataula Creek is delivered, and the contractor will commence work on it in a few days, and have it ready be fore the track can reach that point. Superstructure —The cross ties have been delivered on the first six miles, and are being delivered on the line continu ously, and will be in readiness to the First Station, 8;J miles from the Junction j with Fort Gaines line, by the Ist of Octo- : ber—and to the Station, one and a half mile, west of Pataula Creek, (14 8-10 miles from Cutlibert,) and within 9J miles of the Chattahoochee River at En faula, by railroad line, by the 15th day of November. The string timbers are being sawed on the line of the completed road, and will be carried forward as wanted. The track laying will be commenced at Cuthbert on the Bth instant, and will be continued at the rate of one mile per week—reaching the first Depot on this line by the 15th of October, and the Sta tion west of Pataula by the Ist of Decem ber at the farthest. Fort Gaines Line.—The grading, j clearing and masonry on the first eight and a half miles of this line from the Junction with Eufaula line is nearly com pleted, and will be ready for the track by the Ist of September. The balance of this lino was contracted to be completed by the Ist of July, 1860, which con tracts, I doubt not, will be complied with. We may therefore calculate certainly on opening the road to Fort Gaines by the Ist of September, 1860, at farthest. Superstructure. —The cross ties are be- | ing delivered, the stringers arc being 1 sawed, and will bo on the road when wanted. The track laying will be commenced as soon as the track reaches the Junction ! with the Eufaula line, and be continued to the first Station, or Depot, 9f miles from Cuthbert, and 12 miles from Fort Gaines, to which point it will be finished by the 15th of October. I herewith submit a table, showing, in a condensed form, the different items and total accounts of expenditures, and the amounts necessary to complete the differ ent divisions of the extension line : [The table shows the expenditures on the different divisions of the extension line of the Road to have been $845,- 289 77. The amount necessary to com plete the Road from Cuthbert to Eufaula and Fort Gaines will be $613,930 88.] The total estimated cost of the Road is i $1,462,220 G 5. The number of hands employed on the j Road, counting a horse, cart and driver as such, and a wagon and team as three hands, are 900, as follows: C 54 hands, 186 horse carts, and 20 wagons and teams. j Respectfully submitted. Virgil Powers, Chief Engineer. The “Code” in California. The California papers gives us the par ticulars of a recent affair of honor, in which U. S. Senator Broderick was con cerned. It appears that an altercatio# j arose at the breakfast-table of a hotel between Mr. Broderick and Mr. D. W. | Perlcy, who is not a citizen of the United States. Mr. Perley’s statement is that | he was grossly insulted in the presence of ladies, without the slightest excuse or provocation, by Mr, Broderick. For this he sent a challenge to Mr. Broderick. There were some questions of punctilio raised as to the shape and time in which satisfaction had been demanded, but Mr. Broderick’s refusal to accept was placed on different grounds. These are some what curious. He will not fight at all during the present political canvass. His reason for this is that if he fights at all he may be compelled to fight a politi cal duel, which would interfere with his electioneering projects. A second reason is that he will not fight a foreigner. His political rights under the State laws would he affected thereby—that of such an adversary would not. His third reason is, that he is a Sena tor in Congress, and if he be compelled to accept a challenge, “it can only be with a gentleman holding a position equally elevated and respectable.” He is too elevated to fight anybody under a Senator. The range within which he limits his obligations to the code of honor, is. in this way, farther reduced, by excluding from equality as gentlemen with him, all less lofty in rank than that which he claims for a Senator. It is imposible to say, how extremely small the circle might not be made, until we learn what sort of men Mr. Broderick esteems to be the equals in rank to Sena tors. Representatives may be exclu ded as inferiors. Is an ex-Senator rec ognizable? Is a Governor quite up to the mark? A member of the Cabinet, a foreign Minister, whose term has expired and who has no office to be put in peril, sufficiently “elevated?” The minister of a foreign power is excluded under the other rule. How many are there, accor ding to these definitions, to whom Mr. Broderick would accord the right of de manding satisfaction, if he should insult them, however grossly ? Or is there a local application of this, by which Mr. Broderick may be understood to convey the meaning that there is a Senator whom he would be willing to fight,if asked at a convenient occasion? It would have been much more manly in Mr. Broderick to say at once that he does not recognize the obligations of the code of dueling, and repudiates the obli gation to expose his life when called to account for insult. That would he a de fensible position ; and if it were accom panied by a corresponding carefulness of speech and courtesy of manner, which would refrain from giving offence the more because predetermined to refuse the customary demands for atonement, it would command respect. But such fanciful distinctions as this California dignitary sets up for the bene fit of politicians ; this qualifying of the duties of honor and courtesy between gentlemen by the rules of interest and convenience; this setting up of nationali ty and rank as exemptions from laws of hoilor that are otherwise acknowledged, are more likely to be considered as pre tentious subterfuges. —A’. 0. Picayune. t We saw yesterday, says the Mobile Tribune, of the 6th inst., the skin of a moccasin which was killed by a gentle man in this county, which measured 7 \ feet 6 inches without the head. This is no “ snake story,” yet it is the largest of the species we ever heard of. Traveling Agent. Mr. 7,ach. Roger* is our Traveling Agent in Alabama,and is authorized to receive and receipt .’ pr subscriptions to the Daily and Weekly Sun , Tle Crops. A correspondent of th•: ('bnrlestort Daily Mereary, of the lltli, gives the following , as the tesuß of his enquiries and obscr | vatiou of the prospect of the crops. We think his conclusions are warranted by the facts: l p to the Ist of August the crop in 1 South, Middle and North Alabama, Mis sissippi, Arkansas atul Texas, was large in quantity and promising. Since the : 19tii ult. there .had been general and heavy rains—as much as cotton could j stand without injury—and unless these ceased, considerable damage must eusue I from some of several causes. The weed was already larger than last year, and wet weather now would be apt to rot the i bolls, or make the plant cast them for a second growth, late in maturing and like ly to. be cut off by frost. Worms, too, would be produced by dampness and i heat with a sappy weed. During the last ! week, since there was news from the j plantations, several heavy rains have oc- I curred in North Alabama, apparently ! general. If so, the crop has suffered in proportion to the rains. This is the most critical time, and dry weather for the next twenty days is very important, as it will affect the crop to the amount of sev eral hundred thousand bales, one way or the other. Should the season, from the Ist of August, have already proved dry, and should this favorable condition con tinue for two or three weeks longer, the yield of cotton, with an average fall for picking, will be the greatest ever known, and 4,000,000 will be a moderate calcula -1 tion. But if rains have prevailed since J August 1, and if they continue, the crop : must be much diminished—to what ex tent will depend on the amount of rain . and the effect in rotting, shedding, caus ing second growth, and breeding worms or rust, with the sort of season for pick ing, and the time of the first killing frost. By the end of this month a fair idea will be had by those who observe whether the crop will be lajgo or mode rate. At present no judgment can be given. The corn crop will be rather a short one—in places sufficing and in others not enough. Early corn is everywhere seri ously injured by drought, though not by any means generally destroyed. The stock raisers of Tennessee are contracting everywhere within reach for fields of corn i yet unbroken, to supply their deficiency —sls and S2O per aero are the common prices of these contracts. Along the line of rail road in Georgia, from Augusta to Chattanooga, the cotton is very small, and the corn has evidently suffered much. Many fields will make literally nothing. In the great cotton regions I judge the corn will be enough, with an economical use of it. Dr. J. Marlon Sims. “ Long Grabs,” a favorite correspon dent of the Lancaster (S. C.) Ledger, has visited New York, and thus writes concerning a distinguished sen of Lan caster, who is honorably and conspicu ously known as the founder and physi cian of the “ Woman’s Hospital” in New York: This afternoon I spent with Dr. J. Ma rion Sims, his lovely wife and agreeable and interesting family of children. Many of your readers will call to mind Dr. Sims. lie is a native of Lancaster, born in the Hanging ltock section of our dis trict, was reared in our village. After being graduated in the South Carolina College, and completing his profession, he located in Montgomery, Ala., where he soon, by merit alone, took the lead in his profession. His health became en feebled, caused by his large practice in a hot climate. The summer season he was compelled to spend in a more invigora ting clime. This induced him to locate in New York. Some may attribute bis location here to choice, but the sequel of his life since, which has been a continued series of usefulness to thousands of suffering females, shows tlie band of Providence. He is now in the enjoyment of fine health, a lucrative and extensive practice, bis patients being from all parts of the United States. . Asa surgeon be has no superior; in the surgical world he has a world-wide reputation; his name will go down to posterity as the successive discoverer and triumphant operator for certain fe male diseases, which before bad been the opprobium of the medical profession. Lancaster may justly be proud to add his name’ to her illustrious trio, “Jackson, Miller and Blair.” llis scientific and skillful attainments and usefulness can only-be truly appreciated by the medical faculty and the female world. The Doc tor still retains the elasticity of youth, a good flow of spirits, and all his warm Southern feeling and impulses. Florida, Atlantic and Central Gulf Kail Road. The Mercury, of the 18th, says that ; Mr J. P. Ptyan, tlie Charleston Agent of the Company, has received a communica tion from the President, Col. J. P. San derson, authorizing him to close the pur- ! chase of one thousand tons of rails, with j John Frazer & Cos., to be delivered by the Ist of November. This, with the recent purchase made in New York, will com plete the track of the road in season for the present crop to be forwarded to mar- ; ket. To which the Mercury adds : This is cheering news. The Florida, Atlantic and Central Gulf Itail lioad, chartered by the Legislature of Florida, extends from Jacksonville to Alligator, a distane'e of sixty miles, with the ultimate intention of being continued to Tallahas see, with branches thence to Pensacola and Apalachicola. It is already con structed and running to Baldwin, thirty two miles from Jacksonville, where it in tersects the Florida Hail Hoad, from Fer nandina to Cedar Keys. The road is one link in the great line of the Atlantic Coast Hoad, and will eventually be connected with the Charleston and Savannah Hail Hoad by a northward spur to Savannah. When completed with its connections, it will serve to bring back trade and travel | to their legitimate channels, and place the mercantile interests of Charleston in the commanding position to which they are entitled. It will certainly be regarded as good news, that there is a sure prospect of the fine cotton of Columbia county, of the present crop, not only finding its market in Charleston, but of reaching this mar ket by steam. It only remains to say, that the instruc- * lions in Col. Sanderson’s letter have been fully carried out. From the Boston Courier. Still another Letter from Gov. Wise. We are indebted to Lieutenant John S. Foster, Corresponding Secretary of the Boston Mercantile Library Association, for a copy of Governor Wise’s letter in answer to an invitation to lecture before the Society next winter. It is in the following words: Richmond, Ya., July 27, 1859. To John S. Foster, Esq., Chairman, &c. Dear Sir: I hardly know how to decline your invitation, but must do so. Please present my acknowledgments to the Lecture Committee, and say, that I am about to start for our mountains for a tour of sixty days, examining routes and reservoirs for a canal. That from that time to the Ist of December, I shall be engaged in preparing materials j for my last message to the Ya. Gen. As- ‘ sembly, upon whom I must wait constant- j ly uutii the Ist of January next. And that thereafter I shall be busily occupied in fixing a bouse and borne for my family, after four years absence. Besides all this, extra labors of grievious burthen fall heavy upon me. So I cannot accept this call. I have no time for literary or any other composition. lam a bad shot at the best, and I am not going to Boston to shoot at game on the wing. I would like to bag you if I could. Oh !if I could lag Boston! —the whole nation would be safe then. Yes, I always loved old Bos ton —she was the saloon of the Tea Par ty. And some of these days, God willing, I will try to see what is the matter with her that she don’t throw overboard like she used to and bless her still. Very hastily, but truly yours, HENRY A.
