General News.— ln England, there have been heavy frosts and considerable snow. Parliament has been prorogued to the 15th December. The Paris correspondents of the Lon don journals indulge in gloomy fore bodings. A writer in the Herald states plainly that the impression has gained ground that a rupture between England and France is imminent. Several of the Provincial journals published simultane ously violent articles against England, which are known to have been supplied by the government officials. England is warned lhat the hour of trial approaches, which may put an end to her greatness forever. Accounts from the French manufactur ing districts were unfavorable, the recent inundations in the southern provinces having done a great deal of damage to life and property. In Spam, the war with Morocco was popular. The interest of the foreign details of news is principally confined to the Mo rocco question. It is stated that France, anxious to avenge certaiu Moorish out rages, urged Spain to declare war against Morocco, aiding the former by considerable expeditionary corps. A Paris letter, to Le Nord, asserts that Lord Palmerston had declared to the French Ambassador that England would not suffer Spain to occupy both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar, and will oppose such occupation by force. The Times’ Paris correspondent says that this conversation caused much emo tion in Paris, and that the French Gov ernment will not change its Morocco policy. ihe French expeditionary force is ready to take the field. O’Donnell com mands the Spanish operations. The Lon don Times thinks the only danger is that France will annex Morocco to Algeria. It is stated that the American Consul had left. Tangiers for Gibraltar. The London Post says that England and France were still negotiating for a joint Chinese expedition. Per contra, the Herald states that the preparations had been suspended. The Paris Bourse had been dull and lower, but. recovered on Tuesday, and closed at 69f. 45c. The Pope had returned to Rome. The disturbances at Palermo have been confirmed. The contest between the peo ple and the troops lasted for three days, and the city was in a state of siege. The Pope has promised the French Am bassador some administrative reforms in his government. The receipt of the Spanish war news depressed the London stock market, but it improved at the close. A vaguerumor of the distrust in France influenced the funds, but they closed firm, and Consols, on Wednesday evening, were quoted at 96 The Liverpool Post of the 27th, gives a rumor of the loss of the steamer Royal Charter, from Australia, with four hun dred lives, and a half million sterling in specie. Two Slave Vessels Condemned. New York, Nov. 7.—Advices from St. Helena have been received, which an nounce that two slave ships have been condemned on the coast of Africa. One of them is the Stephen F. Townsend, of New Orleans, and the name of the other vessel is unknown. Later from Texas. New Orleans, Nov. 6.—The steam ships Arizonia and the lndinnola, from Brazos, arrived here to-day. They brought $25,000 in specie. Dinner to Judge Hale. The members of the bar in attendance upon the late term of the Circuit Court in Clayton, testified their high apprecia tion of the presiding Judge, both offi cially and personally, by a complimen tary dinner on Friday last. Occurring at the close of the Court, after several had left, the attendance was not large, but those present made up in hilarity what they lacked in numbers, and some hours were spent in unrestrained enjoy fhent. Sentiments, facetious, patriotic, ami miscellaneous, followed in rapid suc cession, and sparkling wit and glowing champagne mingled their bright and kin dred streams. From one end of the Cir cuit to the other, Judge Ilale has made the most favorable impression, alike upon the people and the bar, by his ability as a jurist, his promptitude and industry in the dispatch of business, his uniform courtesy and his admirable qualities as a man.— Eufaula Spirit of the South. Extinct Families. Mr. Robert Stephenson leaves no fam ily behind him. His wife died many years ago, and he remained a widower, so that the direct line from George Ste phenson, the eminent English Engineer, has died out. James Watt, the noted British inventor, left no descendants. It appears that men noted for their mechan ical genius, like many of those famous in literature, science and governmeHt in Great Britain, leave no children to per petuate their names. Shakspeare, Mil ton, Bacou, Newton, Collins, Thomson, Goldsmith, Gay, Congreve, Hume, Bish op Butler, Locke, Hobbs, Adam Smith, Bent ham, Davy, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Flaxham, Sir Thomas Lawrence and others, well known to fame in British an nals, having no lineal representatives now living. Arrival of Blooded Stock. The stock reported in the Mercury on Monday last, as having been shipped from England, arrived here in the ship Mackinaw, from Liverpool. The stock is owned by Mr. Richard Warded, of Union District, and consists of bay stud lota, by Storm, out of Beta, and raised by Mr. J. Milner, of Yorkshire, England. Bay mare Ela, by Pontifex, out of Dash — mare raised by Mr. Foster, Yorkshire, England. One Durham bull, Lord Laik infield, one year old, raised by Mr. Fos ter, Laikinfield, near Hull. One Durham heifer, Lady Laikinfield, raised by the latter gentleman. —Charleston Mercury. Had Him There. A writer in the Mobile Tribune tells the following : For many years Moses, a negro, was a servant at the University of Alabama, and waited on the students very faithful ly. He was however, a great hypocrite, and was on that account commonly called “ preach,” among the boys. One day he was passing a crowd of students, when one of them, out of mischief, called to him and said: “ I say, Preach, what are you going to do when the devil gets you?” “ Wait on the students,” was the ready reply. The Usury Law of Tennessee. A joint committee of the two Houses of the Tennessee Legislature has been ap pointed to investigate the effects of the Usury Law of the State, and to which shall be referred all matters in relation to conventional interest. Pennsylvania has already abolished her usury laws, and Tennessee may as well follow the example, GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. The following are the most important bills introduced Monday in the Legisla ture: SENATE. Mr. Gartrel offered a resolution that that part of the Governor’s Message which contains tbe suggestion as to a re duction of the Legislature, be referred to a special comm.ttee on that subject.

With another of a local character, the following bill was lost: To render the estates of deceased per sons and minors liable for medical ser vices to hired slaves. The Harper’s Ferry Resolutions which originated in the Senate, and the same in substance as those passed by the House last week, were taken up and unani mously adopted. Liverpool Cotton Reports. We extract the following from the let ter of the Liverpool correspondent of the Savannah Republican. The letter is dated Oct. 7, 1859: Not half the persons engaged in the cotton trade understand how the sales in Liverpool are made up, and you will ex cuse me, if in order to explain it, I am obliged to occupy some of your space. The estimate of the day's sales is made up by a man, who, I understand, was originally a cotton broker, and whose wide range of acquaintance among the brokers, enables him to obtain from them their daily business, with the un derstanding, of course, which his charac ter so far fully supports, that said in formation be used for no other purpose but for the estimating of the sales. He consults only the larger brokers and makes an allowance for the rest, and generally hits the mark pretty well. By “ the mark,” I mean the report of the week’s sales, which is made up by the Cotton Broker’s Association, by turns, which they are enabled to do by an ar rangement among themselves—that on every Friday, as it used to be, or Thurs day night as it is now, each broker sends in a report of his week’s business to him whose turn it is to call on them, under penalty of half a crown. All cotton for warded is included in the report, and the forwarding agents also give in a return — such report includes nothing but cotton on the spot, where sueh sale was report ed. If sold to arrive, the sale does not appear until after the cotton has ap peared in the list of imports. The neces sity of this is obvious, as large sales to arrive might lead to some very false con clusions. Whoever considers the study of anato my I believe will never be an atheist; the frame of man’s body, the coherence of his parts, being so strange and paradoxal, that I hold it to be the greatest miracle of nature ; though when all is done, I do not find she hath made it so much as proof against one disease, lest she should be thought to have made it no less than a prison to the soul. —Life of Lord Herbert of Cherbury. “Yes,” said a kind mother, of one of our city churches, helping her little son to learn his Sunday school lesson, “Cain was a fugitive and a vagabond on earth ; he was so bad that he thought every man would slay him. Where could wicked Cain go to ?” ‘* Why, mother,” replied thoughtful Johnny, “Cain could have gone to Baltimore.” Mr. Douglas’ New Boole. Mr. Douglas has written a reply to J Judge Black’s strictures upon his Harper article. We have not and do not intend to read it. He and bis doctrines are both dead, at least in the South. The fearful commentary of the Harper’s Ferry in vasion throws a light upon his false poli cy, that no logic could shed. If the southern people iu the States need pro- ; tection to their institutions from the ag gressions of abolitionists, how much more must they need it in our territories ? Sup pose that it had been tbe law in Virginia that no protection to tbe slaveholder should be afforded by the Government of Virginia, or of the Federal Government, | what would have been the result of the ! late daring enterprise to produce insur- j rection? Senator Douglas, by his false doctrines of squatter sovereignty, would have our territories placed precisely in this position. How admirably it will further abolition designs and policy, mußt be most apparent. Let the General Gov ernment be denied tbe power to protect the slaveholder in our territories, and let the territorial legislature, by unfriendly legislation, or no legislation at all, put him at tbe mercy of such wretches as Brown and Cook, aud how speedily would slavery be crushed out of a territory! The Harper’s Ferry emeute lifts the thin veil he had woven over his policy, and shows it to be quite worthy of Seward or Greeley—a naked expedient for aboli tioniziDg all of our territories. The South, we are satisfied, will neither hear nor care any more about Senator Doug las’ abolition sophistries; she will as sert her rights at tbe next Presidential election, and Senator Douglas can go off, if he pleases, to Senator Seward. The fact is, it is of no consequence to the South how any men or party in the North shall act in the next Presidential election. The more they are against the rights of the South, probably the better.—Charles ton Mercury. Later from Texas. Tiie Feveb. —ln Galveston, from the 29th ult. to the Ist inst., eight inter ments of yellow fever patients were made. The appearance of frost gives the hope that the disease will now disappear. Tiie Crops. —The Columbia (Brazo ria) Democrat, of the 25th ult., says : Several of our sugar planters have com menced grinding; cotton planters con tinue to find good picking. The cotton crop of Texas, it is con ceded, will considerably exceed that picked and sent to market last year. Texas Rivebs. —The Indianola Cou rier, of the 29th ult., says: The Gaudalupe, Sau Antonio, Navidad and other streams have all been very high this week, from heavy rains in the interior. Productiveness of Gabdexs. The Paris Visitor gives the following: We were shown, a few weeks ago, a beet weighing 24£ pounds. We thought that good evidence of the fertility of the soil in Lamar county. We have now be fore us additional evidence of the rich ness of the land around us. J. H. Cook, Esq., brought to town on Friday last a squash weighing 119 pounds. It is nearly round, measuring 30£ by 35 inches in circumference. Texas Trade in Wheat. —The Waco Southerner mentions the following en couraging fact: The streets of Waco, within the past week, have been frequently blockaded by Mexican carts, loaded with flour for San Antonio, Monterey and Saltillo. It as serts that Texas flour is regarded by the Mexicans as infinitely superior to Cincin nati and St. Louis flour, and the exceed ing low rate of hauling, which never ex ceeds one dollar per hundred, enables them to obtain it as cheap, if not cheap er, than they can have Northern flour shipped to Matagorda or Rio Grande City. A Friend to Old Brown. Mrs. Lydia Maria Child is presumed to be referred to by the Herald’s Richmond correspondent in the following passage, dated October 28th : “A letter was received from a Boston lady, asking the Governor’s permission to go to Charlestown to nurse old Brown, and pledging her honor, while she was a strong abolitionist, that she would take no improper advantage of the privilege. The letter contained a note addressed to Brown himself, which she raquested the Governor to forward to him after he had read it. Both were unquestionably the best productions I have ever seen from the pen of a woman; and, woman-like, they breathed all the sentiments of sympathy, kindness and affection that martyrdom in a holier cause might be supposed to elicit. She avowed herself frankly a thorough abolitionist, while disapproving the means resorted to by Brown to accomplish the ends sought for. One thing was appa rent from these productions, and that was that she was truly sincere in her opin ions ; and the Governor could not help expressing regret that so accomplished a person should sulfer under such an illu sion as seemed to have possessed her. He will grant her permission and guar anty her perfect immunity from auy vio lence or indignity in the State. But as to the privilege of acting nurse to Brown, that is a matter in the discretion of his physician at Charlestown, and he may admit or exclude her at will. The pre sumption is, however, that she will have entire liberty to exercise her humane offices in behalf of that ‘brave veteran,’ as she designated old Brown.” New York and New Orleans. W'e find the following communication, signed “A.,” in the New York Times, of the 29th ult.: From a private letter from Mississippi, we learn that the connecting link be tween New York and New Orleans, the Mississippi Central Rail Road, is rapidly approaching completion. Large forces are at work on the re maining twenty-four miles of unfinished road, over which gap there are running daily eight lines of coaches. The completion of this great through route, from New York to New Orleans, is an event of no small importance to the business community. Consolidated with the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail Road, it constitutes a link in a line of two hundred and thirty six miles, under the control of the Mis sissippi Central Rail Road Company. Ho I for tlie Fair. The Executive Committee of the Ala bama State Agricultural Society are au thorized by the President of the Rail Roads West Point and Montgomery, and Montgomery and Pensacola, to state that visitors to the Alabama State Fair will be transported to and from the city upon the payment of one fare. All stock and other articles for exhibition free —the owner taking the risk. Also, the Adams’ Ex press Company have kindly agreed to bring to the city any articles for exhibi tion weighing not over fifty pounds, and return the same free. N. B. CLOUD, Sec’y. Pike’s Peak Mines. A correspondent of the N. O. Pica yune from Chicago, says: The news Pike’s Peak continues to be highly favorable. A gentleman of this city, who has just returned from that section of country, reports that the general health of the mines is good. About five thousand persons will winter there this season; and the amount of ter ritory in which gold has been found, is about fifty miles square. The quantity of the precious metal, he thinks, is ex haustless. He is of opinion that over half a million of dollars worth of gold has been taken from that region since last Spring. W’e have been shown a letter directed to a gentleman of this town stating that a man by the name of Snyder is in the neighborhood who hails from North Caro lina, and says that he is a printer, and passes himself off as a Mason in good standing. The writer of the letter (who is a highly respectable gentleman,) says that the said Snyder is an imposter and is not entitled to the benefits of the Order. Masons will therefore please take notice thereof and govern themselves accor dingly.—Elba Democrat. Fatal and Shocking Shooting Affair. This morning, one of the most painful cases of shooting occurred which it has been our unpleasant duty to record for some time, and which has resulted in the death of the parly, Lewis Jones, a young man aged about twenty-one, and a Clerk in the General Land Office. Tbecircum stances attending it, as far as we are enabled to learn, appear to be as fol lows : Young Jones was spending last evening with some friends on Massachusetts Ave nue, and some occasion presenting itself, he found his pocket book missing. He wrote a note to his mother, a widow lady, who resides on the South side of New Y'ork Avenue, between 9th and 10th streets. The note was delivered, and a reply made that she would much prefer he would come and get it himself, as it seemed that she was a little fearful be was intending to be absent that night or leave the city. Not getting the pocket book, he re turned to his mother’s residence, where he was most kindly admonished on being so wild, and in being absent from home so much of his time, and urgently pur suaded to remain more at home with his mother and sisters. After this friendly conference with his only parent, he re tired. This morning, on appearing with his family, his mother again took him aside, and beseeched him kindly to be better in future; to leave these compan ions who detained him from home; and to live more with his parents and sisters, and at the same time throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. He appeared to heed her for a mo ment, but withdrew from her arms, and then suddenly drawing a pistol, re marked: “I have lived long enough, I can’t stand this ; or, “ Mother, see wbat I am going to do,” and then pointing the pistol to bis forehead, fired. The ball entered about tbe centre of his forehead, and he sunk almost lifeless into bis agon ized parent’s arms. The alarm was given, and the household were soon present, to gether with the neighbors and passers by. Physicians were immediately sum moned, who probed the wound, but could not find tbe ball. The wound was large and frightful, owing to tbe proximity of the pistol to his head. He remained in sensible, writhing in the agonies of paiD, until death relieved him of his sufferings. This sad occurrence happened at about 9 o’cl ck, and he died about twenty min utes past 1 o’clook this afternoon. This is not the first attempt he has made to commit suicide, he having taken an overdose of laudanum a short time since, but which failed in its object. Yesterday he applied to a friend to be his second in a duel which he expected to take a part, caused we believe, by a love affair. The deceased was very small for his age, and was the son of the late George H. Jones, assistant secretary to the Presi dent to sign land patents. At the death of his father he took his place in the Land Office, and was the sole support of his family. Dr. Young and other physicians did everything in their power for the suf ferer.— Washington States. 3d. Transitions in Gentlemen’s Style. “Young America,” the rage for the last five or six years, is beginning to make way to the athletic —a result of the sports which are the fashion, such as rowing, base ball, cricketing, etc. It is curious, however, to watch the equally inexplicable and irresistible coming in and going out of “style” for men, and a a very good description of the thing is given by an English writer on the sub ject. He says: “The ‘blood’ was dying out—the fighting, strong, swaggering, hard headed, mqscular blood was fairly going out of fashion. ‘The swell’ was not born or thought of, being entirely of a nobility of a recent creation. There were the interim stages of the ‘ buck’ and ‘dandy.’ Effeminacy was the vogue, in sanity the ruling mode. Gentlemen boast ed of their weak nerves, interchanged vapid Brummelisms, padded their limbs and shoulders, plastered curls on their foreheads, even to their eyebrows, splashed aboht eau de Cologne to keep off the odor of ‘low people,’ wore stays, and bragged as having done a daring coarse thing, that they ‘had once eaten a pea !’ The man of fashion of that day was not altogether a thing to be a very highly re spected. Southern Inventions. The New York Journal of Commerce says : The South was very well represented at the American Institute Fair, consider ing the distance of the contributors from the scene. Among the ingenious inven tions from below Mason and Dixon’s line, were a pump, cotton-seed planter, a hy draulic elevatot, a wind and-water wheel, a corn-husker, a sub-soil-plow, a dump ing-wagon, an automaton car-break, a table-refrigerator, and many other con trivances for agricultural or household use. Several of these took medals or di plomas, and their average excellence was quite equal to that of the Northern en tries. Were not the forwarding of ar ticles from distant parts of the South at tended with so much trouble, expense and risk, the entries from that section would have been still more numerous. These articles—full-sized machines or models—having vindicated the inventive genius of the South at the American In stitute Fair, are now to be sent to the exhibition of the South Carolina Insti tute. which commences at Charleston on the 14th of November, and which will un doubtedly attract a vast variety of South ern inventions. A Brave Boy. A lad named James Meagher, who is employed in Dr. Doster’s office, on Ba ronne street near Canal, did a brave thing about four o’clock on Thursday morning. A burglar made his way into the office, looked at the boy to see if he was asleep, (the lad slept in a back apart ment,) and then proceeded into the front room. Between the room where the boy slept and the front room there was anoth er apartment, where Dr. Doster had left two Derringer.pistols for the lad in case of necessity. When the burglar went into the front room the boy got out of bed quietly, rushed to where the pistols were and got them. The thief was then alarm ed, and rushed at him, but the lad pre sented the pistols at him, holding one in each hand. The burglar then retreated, and as he got upon a ladder that was agaiust the yard wall James fired, but missed the fellow, who, however, fell from the ladder, but then succeeded in effecting his escape through a doorway and into an alley.—2Y. 0. Bulletin. Large Reward. Governor Wise has issued a proclama tion, in which he offers $2;000 reward for the apprehension of Owen Brown, Barclay Coppie, Francis J. Meriman and Charles P. Tidd, who were engaged in the Harper’s Ferry invasion. A letter in the New York Tribune, written from Cham bersburg, Pa., says that they were in that place the very night that Cook was taken from there to Virginia. He adds that “they are now safe,” bnt we think it very likely that $2,000 will bring them. —Savannah Hetcs. The Wounded at Atlanta. The Intelligencer of yesterday says: None others of those wounded by Monday night’s sad catastrophe, are dead, at this writing, though Samuel F. Downs and Frank O’Brien are lying in a most crit ical condition. Dr. Pomeroy, we learn, is somewhat easier. A rumor was cur rent, about noon yesterday, that Mr. Downs was dead. It was unfounded; but his case is looked upon as fatal. Paddy was summoned to court for re fusing to pay a doctor’s bill. Judge— “ Why did you refuse to pay?” Paddy —“ What for should I pay ? Share, did he give me anything but some emetics, and the divil a one could I keep on my stomach at all, at all.” v ’ Fire In Buffalo, Kw 1 ork. Buffalo. Nov. 9 -The grain elevator in this city was burnt last night. About 200,000 bushels os grain were consumed, and the loss in other valuables is near $200,000. From the (Old) Spirit of the Times. Letter from Benloiij Aisbftiuo. Dear Spirit: In your last number you have called ou the lovers of the Turt to give their views and opinions on the sub jectof a National Jockey Club and Race Course. That this is a great turn among Turfmen will not admit of a doubt, and if an appeal to them be made in a proper inanuer, it will be responded to most cheerfully from every section of our widely extended racing community. I having all my life, now in the “ sere and yellow leaf,” been a passionate admi rer of the race horse and of the sports of the turf, and being anxious to see a Na tional Jockey Club established, I have concluded, in accordance with your sug gestion, to give my opinions relative to the mode and manner of bringing about an object so desirable. Let us consider: 1. How a National Jockey Club may be formed ? 2. How the Purses may be raised? 3. At what place the meetings should be held. 4. Who is to be the Proprietor of the Course ? * 5. At what time the meetings should come off? In reference to the first question, “ bow the Club is to be formed,” I would sug gest that every Jockey Club in the United States should, in its corporate capacity, be a member of the National Club, and should be represented at each meeting by delegates appointed either by the President of each Club, as may be deemed best, whose expenses should be paid by their respective Clubs. 2. The raising of purses to be run for presents some little difficulty. The amount should be of a magnitude to cor respond with the dignity and respectability of a National Club. The purse for the four-mile day should be $5,000, that of the three-mile day $4,000, that of the two-mile day $3,000, and another of $2,000 for mile heats, best 3 in 5, which in all would be $14,000. How is this sum to be made up? By subscription ? I do not believe it could be done in that way. The different Clubs, composing the National Club, could contribute but little, if auy, towards it, for the most of them are but barely able to raise purses for their own meetings. Individuals will not subscribe unless they could attend and see the sport. What other mode then? I answer —Let each purse be a post-stake, entrance SI,OOO, p. p., the second horse to receive back his entrance money, and the Club to give SSOO to the third horse, out of the proceeds arising from the gate, &c. If there be more en tries than sufficient to make up the purses for each day, let the entrance be reduced accordingly. For instance, if there be ten entries to the four-mile day, the en trance may be SSOO. For the purpose of increasing the sport there might be sweep stakes for two and three year old colts and fillies, with a purse added by the Club. 3. Ia a selection of a place to hold the meetings, which should be annual, ac cessibility should be the first considera tion. Washington and Charleston have been spoken of. The first is on the out skirt of the race horse region. There are but few race horses bred east of that place, and there are, I believe, but two places where races are held east of it— Baltimore and New York. Charleston, no account of the age and respectability of its Club, would be a suitable point, but it is too romote from, and inconveni ent to, a large portion of the racing world. Atlanta, Ga., would be the most central and accessible point, but I have understood that a good track cannot be made in its vicinity. Columbus, Ga., is tho next most central place, and I would recommend that the meetings should be held there. The course is a fair one, being, I believe, perfectly level, and hav ing but one objection to it—that of being rather sandy. The citizens are hospita ble nnd clever, and I believe there is ample hotel room to accommodate all who may attend the meetings. 4. The course should be owned by the National Club as a joint stock company, each Jockey Club holding an equal num ber of shares. It should be under the control of a committee elected by the Club, which committee should appoint a Treasurer and Secretary, and have the power also of appointing a sub commit tee to take charge of the course, super intend the erection of suitable buildings, repairing, &c. 5. The meetings should come off at such a time in the fall of the year as would be suitable, on account of weather, and as would allow time for parties to reach Columbus from other races. If that could not be done, let the meeting be held on the Ist day of May, wheu the weather would be pleasant, and the racing would be over anywhere except at Baltimore and New York. After the National Meet ing was over horses could be taken to each of these places in time for the races. These suggestions, hastily written and without mature thought, have been thrown out under the hope that others more com petent may take the matter in hand and prosecute it to a successful conclusion.

An election had been held for officers under the provisional government. The result was not definitely known, bnt so far as ascertained Stelle had a majority for Governor. Efforts are being made to induce the people to participate in the election for Drlegates from Kansas, which takes place on the Bth inst. The project was opposed by the local pa* :rs which argue in favor of the non-inter.ention in Kansas affairs, having but recently elected a delegate of their own, who is expected to urge an immediate organization of the Territory of Jefferson. The Outlaws at Brownsville. New Orleans, Nov. B.—Advices from Brownsville, Texas, of the 2d inst., state that Cortenas and his band were still threatening that city.

Herald republishes the following from its issue of Nov. 18, 1829, nearly thirty years ago: Cotton. —We stated in a short paragraph in last Friday’s paper, that some gentle men from Edenton had brought 45 hales of cotton to our market through the canal, as an experiment, to ascertain if the ex pedition and cheapness of transportation in the first place, and the price which they could obtain for it in the second, would be an inducement to bring their entire crops to this place. It affords us much pleasure to state, that they were perfectly satisfied with the result, having readily obtained 9J cents for their cotton, and returned home with a determination to send the balance of their crops to our market. N*w Orleans Election. New Orleans, Nov. B.— The election here yesterday passed off perfectly quiet The American ticket is elected by a large majority. The Democrats have elected a member of the Legislature from the Fourth District. Mra. Child and the Insurgent Brown. Some imperfect extracts from the an nexed letters have been published; we have thought it advisable, to a correct understanding ot the subject, to give the entire correspondence. Mrs. L. Maria Child (who asks to be allowed to “nurse” and “soothe” the insurrectionist, 13rown,) has heretofore beeu known in this section as an authoress of some pretensions, whose literary contributions have served to till up the columns of one or two Northern periodicals. Hereafter she will be regarded, in the South at least, as be longing to the Harriet Beecher Stowe “circle as one whose morbid enthusi asm and fanatical zeal beclouded and viti ated a judgment, otherwise, perhaps, clear and sound. —Richmond Enquirer. LETTER FROM MRS. CHILD TO GOV. WISE. Wayland, Mass., Oct. 26, 1859. Governor Wine:—l have heard that you were a man of chivalrous sentiments, and I know you were opposed to the iniquitous attempt to foree upon Kansas a Constitu tion abhorrent to the moral sense of her people. Relying upon these indications of honor and justice in your character, I venture to ask a favor of you. Euciosed is a letter to Captain John Brown. Will you have iue kindness, after reading it yourself, to transmit it to the prisoner? I, and all my large circle of abolition acquaintances, were taken by surprise, when the news came of Capt. Brown’s re cent attempt; nor do I know of a single person who would have approved of it, had they been apprised of his inten tions. But I, and thousands of others, feel a natural impulse of sympathy for the brave and sutf ring* man. Perhaps God, who sees the iumost of our souls, perceives some such sentiment in your heart also. He needs mother or sister to dress his wounds, and speak soothingly to him. AVill you allow me to perform that mission of humanity? If you will, may God bless you for the generous deed ! I have been for years an uncompromis ing abolitionist, and I should scorn to deny it, or apologise for it, as much as John Brown himself would do. Believ ing in peace principles, I deeply regret the step that the old veteran has taken, while 1 honor his humanity toward those who became his prisoners. But, because it is my habit to be as open as the day light, I will also say that if I believed our religion justified men in fighting for freedom, I should consider the enslaved, everywhere, as best entitled to that right. Such an avowal is a simple, frank ex pression of my sense of natural justice. But I should despise myself utterly, if any circumstances could tempt me to seek to advance these opinions in any way, directly or iudirectly, after your permission to visit Virginia had been ob tained on the plea of sisterly sympathy with a brave and suffering man. I give you my word of honor, which was never broken, that I would use such permission solely and singly for the purpose of nurs ing your prisoner, and for no other pur pose whatsoever. Yours, respectfully, L. MARIA CHILD. LETTER FROM MRS. CHILD TO JOHN BROWN. Wayland, Mass., Oct. 26, 1859. Dear Captain Broun-.— Though person ally unknown to you, you will recognize in my name an earnest friend of Kansas, when circumstances made that Territory the battle ground between the antagonis tic principles of slavery and freedom, which politicians so vainly strive to re concile in the government of the United States. Believiug in peace principles, I cannot sympathize with the method you chose to advance the cause of freedom. But I honor your generous intentions. I ad mire your courage, moral and physical. I reverence you for the humanity which tempered your zeal. I sympathize with your cruel bereavements, your sufferings and your wrongs. In brief, I love you and bless you. Thousands of hearts are throbbing with sympathy, as warm as mine. I think of you night and day, bleeding in prison, surrounded by hostile fuces, sustained only by trust in God, and your own strong heart. I loDg to nurse you, to speak to you sisterly words of sympathy and con solation. I have asked permission of Governor Wise to do so. If the request is not granted, I cherish the hope that these few words may at least reach your hands, and afford you some little solace. May you be strengthened by the convic tion that no honest man ever sheds blood for freedom in vain, however much he fnay be mistaken in his efforts. May God sus tain you, and carry you through whatso ever may be in store for you. Yours, with heartfelt respect, sympathy and affection, L. MARIA CHILD. GOVERNOR wise’s REPLY TO MRS. CHILD. Richmomd, Va., Oct. 29, 1859 Madam: —Yours of the 2Gth was re ceived by me yesterday, and at my earli est leisure I respectfully reply to it, that I will forward the letter for John Brown, a prisoner under our laws, arraigned at the bar of the Circuit Court for the coun ty of Jefferson, at Charlestown, Va., for the crimes of murder, robbery and trea son, which you ask me to transmit to him. I will comply with your request, in the only way which seems to me proper, by en closing it to the Commonwealth’s Attor ney, with the request that he will ask the permission of the Court to hand it to the prisoner. Brown, the prisoner, is now in the hands of the Judiciary, not of the Executive, of this Commonwealth. You ask me further to allow you to perform the mission “of mother or sister, to dress his wounds and speak soothingly to him.” By this, of course, you mean to be al lowed to visit him in bis cell, and to min ister to him in the offices of humanity. Why should you not be so allowed, Madam? Virginia and Massachusetts are involved in no civil war, and the Con stitution which unites them in one Con federation guarantees to you the priv ileges and immunities of a citizen of the United States in the State of Virginia. That Constitution I am sworn to support, and am, therefore, bound to protect your privileges and immunities as a citizen of Massachusetts coming into Virginia for any lawful and peaceful purpose. Com ing, as you propose, to minister to the captive in prison, you will be met, doubt less, by all our people, not only in a chivalrous but in a Christian spirit. You have the right to visit Charlestown, Va., Madam, and your mission, being merci ful and humane, will not only be allowed, but be respected if not welcomed. A few unenlightened and inconsiderate persons, fanatical in their modes of thought and action to maintain justice and right, might molest you, or be disposed to do so, and this might suggest the imprudenco of risking auy experiment upon the peace of a society very much excited by the crimes with whose chief author you seem to sympathize so much ; but still I repeat your motives and avowed purpose are lawful and peaceful, and I will, as far as I am concerned, do my duty in protecting your rights in our limits. Virginia and her authorities would be weak indeed— weak in point of folly and weak in point of power—if her State faith and consti tutional obligations cannot be redeemed in her own limits to the letter of morality as well as of law, and if her chivalry cannot courteously receive a lady’s visit to & prisoner. Every arm which guards Brown from rescue on the one hand and from lynch law on the other, will be ready to guard your person in Virginia. I could not permit an insult even to womau in her walk of charity among us, though it be to one who whetted knives of butch ery for our “mothers, sisters,” daughters and babes. We have no sympathy with your sentiments of sympathy with Brown, and are surprised that you were “taken by surprise when news came of Captain Brown’s recent attempt.” His attempt was a natural consequence of your sym pathy, and the error of that sympathy ought to make youjdoubt its virtue, from the effect on his conduct. But it is not of this I should speak. When you arrive at Charlestown, if you go there, it will be for the Court and its officers, the Com monwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff and Jailor, to say whether you may see and wait on the prisoner. But, whether you are thus permitted or not (and you will be, if my dvice can prevail) you may rest Assured that he will be humaoely, lawfully, and mercifully dealt by, in prison and on trial Respectfully, HENRY A. WISE. To L. Maria Child. The Fatal Shooting Affair. We gave yesterday the particulars of the sad catastn phe which happened on that morning, resuiting iu the death ot Louis Jones, as stated. It appears that- young Jones has for more than a year filled the clerkship in t .e Land Office left vacant by his father’s decease, the salary of which was paid to his widowed mother for the support of her family, consisting of seven children. Mrs. Jones allowed her son one-fourth oftho salary for his own use, nn ar rangement with which he was dissatis fied, and wanted one-half. Not judging this desirable, Mrs. Jones bad reasoned with her son, on the subject, and this, coupled with her persuasions for him to lead a more quiet life, caused that un easiness which, in the end, resulted so unhappily. As it has been natural to him to sometimes intimidate his mother by threats to take his lift, when she did not favor his peculiar wishes some doubt is entertained as to his purpose, many supposing that the explosion of the pistol in the position he had it at the moment it went off was not his real intent, and that at the worst he only wished to in timidate his mother to bring her to com pliance. The pistol which he used was a Der ringer, and its contents passed through the frontal bone of the interior of the head the ball going through the brain and lodging within the cranium. The medical gentlemen called in were Drs. Wm. P. Young, Lovejoy, Ironside, and Ilolston, by the last of whom the wound was probed. Little or nothing of effec tive help could, of course, be rendered, yet whatever was possible under the cir cumstances these gentlemen did not fail to afford.— Washington States. The Harper’s Kerry Affair. Charlestown, Vn., Nov. 4.—There has been a marked abatement in the excite ment here to-day ; the town is as full of people as when the excitement was at its height, and strangers are continually coming and going. Judge Russell and lady, and Mr. Hoyt, who first took up Brown’s defense, left here this morning for Boston. Coppee was found guilty yesterday; has not yet received sentence. Shields Green, one of the negro pris oners, was put on trial to day. He is defended by Mr. Sennett. The evidence is closed, and the case will be submitted to-morrow to the jury. Copeland is next for trial, aad on Mon day it is expected that the wounded man, Stevens, will be brought up. It is almost certain that Cook will plead guilty ; first submitting a written confes sion or statement of his connection with Brown. His brother-in law, Gov. Wil lard, of Iddiana, is still here. Governor Banks, according to a New York letter writer, “got into the wrong box” at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, a few days ago. Having spent a part of the evening in the company of the ladies, he very naturally entered the public room, and taking his seat, puffed his cigar away most vigorously. He was either unknown or unobserved by those present, for he had not long been there when he discov ered that he was in the wrong box;, that he was, in fact, attending a Democratic meeting. As soon as he discovered his mistake, he rose and begged pardon of those who appeared to be prominent act ors in the meeting, and left the room. Wheu it was known that the innocent in truder was the Republican Governor Banks, of Massachusetts, many gentleman insisted upon having him brought back, in the hope that he might return to his first love and become a good Democrat again. Cash Business. One thing, says Burleigh, about the Ledger makes the business less compli cated than that of any paper in the city, so far as the proprietor is concerned. The Ledger is published on Mondays. The issue is over 300,000. The whole edition is sold at one time, and is bought by one firm, who take the whole issue ; and the paper is paid for on Tuesday morning by cash put into Bonner's hands. All that Mr. BoDner has to do is to get out the paper. It is handed, all complete, to Ross & Toucey. On Tues day the cash is paid ; and all the risk, expense and trouble of circulation, with the profit over and above the price paid to Mr. 8., is in the hands of the pur chasers. I am informed that the sum paid Mr. Bonner, is between $5,000 and $6,000 per week. Inundation and Loss of Property. The Pensacola Tribune, of Wednesday morning, says: We havejust been informed of the loss of a very large amount of valuable prop erty by a recent, freshet at the settlement of Messrs. Kennedy & Ellison, on Fish River, Baldwin county, Ala. The inun dation was truly frightful, while the wa ter rose to an immense height, carrying in its course everything on the premises. We regret to record the loss of life, that of a negro man, who was drowned on the occasion. The following is the loss of Messrs. Kennedy & Elison ; 2000 bar rels rosin, 450 barrels turpentine, 11 mules, and a valuable negro man. A minister who was stopping on the premi ses at the time lost a fine horse. We hear of there being insurance on the property destroyed. The Terminus of the Underground Rail Road. The Chatham (C. W.) Planet says that on the 2d of October an agent for the colonization of Jamaica visited Chatham, addressed the people of that place, and endeavored to show that Jamaica offered unequaled advantages for colored settlers. The negroes, however, passed the follow ing resolution : Resolved, That in view of the fact that a crisis will soon occur in the United States to effect our friends and country men there, we feel it the duty of all colored persons to make Canada their home. The Camels are Coming. The Selma Reporter of Tuesday informs us that Mrs. Watson, who is pretty exten sively in the importation of camels, is in Selma with some seven of the odd-looking animals. She will exhibit them at the State Fair, which is to begin at Montgom ery on Mouday next, and we hope she may receive a premium for each, as well as one for herself. Mrs. Watson is said to be the widow of a deceased officer of the U. S. Army. She is a very intelli gent as well as handsome lady, and we wish her all sorts of good luck in her en terprise.—Mont. Confederation. The Herald is informed by a dispatch from Richmond that it is the intention to try Cook, the Harper’s Ferry rebel, in the United States District Court for that dis trict. This course has been determined upon with a view to compel the attend ance of Seward, Greeley, Wilson, Howe and the other outsiders, who are suspect ed of complicity in the late insurrection. The list to be summoned will embrace every individual, wheresoever he may re side, whose name has been identified with this movement in any connection, however remote. Still Another Gin House Burnt. On the 3d inst., near Elyton, Ala., the gin house of Dr. Hagood, with 40.000 pounds of seed cotton, and four bales of cotton, were burnt. A negro man in the gin house was also fatally burnt.

Copeland has been found guilty of murder and insurrection. Found Guilty. Charlestown, Nov. s.—Shields Green, ‘one of the negro prisoners, was found guilty this morning. The first count, for treason, was abandoned, upon objection being taken by Mr. Sennett, that it was not proved that the prisoner was a free person, and therefore did not come under the statute, which reads “ any free per son.” The sentence was deferred. Copeland is now on trial, Mr. Sennett defending. Tranquility is in process>f restoration. Arrival of the Overland Mail. St. Louis, Nov. 7.—The Overland Mail of the 14th has arrived.

All the military companies and soldiers in the Mexican war would meet him on his arrival and escort him through the city. All classes of people were preparing to pay him their tribute and respect.
