Wilmington, August 26.—A telegram re ceived from the Mayor of Charleston this morn ing, says the yellow fever is in Charleston and 'the Board of Health think it has assumed an epidemic form. Through trains have been dis continued between Wilmington and Charleston. Passengers are now changing cars at Florenoe. Sleeping cars will not be allowed to nm at all between the two cities. The authorities and citizens here are bending all their energies to wards improving the sanitary condition of the city as a measure of prevention. Charleston, August 2G.—The Medical Socie ty of Charleston, in view of the exaggerated reports abroad as to the presence of yellow fe ver here, held a meeting last evening, and, after fall investigation and discussion, resolved to make official publication of the real facts of the case as follows: That yellow fever, of a mild type, does exist to a limited extent in Charleston—that it is mainly confined to one neighborhood—that the first case dated from July 27th, and, during the month that has elapsed since then, there have been, perhaps in all np to this time, thirty-five cases, "of which five have proved fatal; bnt that the disease does sot seem to spread rapidly or widely. It is added that a difference of opin ion exists in the profession as to tbe probable Bpread of the disease. The Beard of Health announces, this morning, that the number of cases reported since the 23d inst., indicate that the disease is assuming an epidemio form. Washington, August 2G.—Tho St Augustine dispatch announcing the loss of the Ladonia is signed “Editor Press.” There is a weekly pa per in St Augustine called the Press, John F. Whitney, editor and publisher. There is no confirmation of the loss through authentic chan nels. We are still hopeful that the story is a hoax at half-past 12 to-day. London, O., August 26.—Mrs. Colburn, late Mrs. Baffenbarger, has been honorably acquit ted of the accusation of poisoning her late hus band. San Francisco, Angnst 26.—The bark Hong Kong, thirty days from Yokohoma, has arrived, with teas for the Atlantic seaboard on through bills of lading. This is the first caTgo shipment thus made. The officers telegraph from South California for more troops, stating that an Indian war is inevitable. Tho Colorado, from Panama, has arrived—all weU. New York, August 2C.—The Coroner's jury of Brooklyn over the Westfield victims, returned a verdict that the boiler, originally defective, was worn out by use and invited a catastrophe. Vanderbilt, President of the Company, Math ews, United States Inspector, Braisted, Super intendent of the Company, and Bobinson, engi neer of tho boat, aro responsible and should be held accountable for the deaths. The arrest of the parties is ordered. The Italian celebration was undisturbed throughout. San Francisco, August 2G.—There is a dis credited rumor that the Apaches have killed General Crook. New Yoee, August 2G.—Arrived, Calabria. Caroline Conway and Charley Hovey were the only passengers on tho Ladonia. Washington, August 26.—Napoleon visited Chatham to-day. The Frenoh Assembly will probably adjourn the 10th September. The state of siege in the departments will be raised when the National Guard is disarmed. The Blancos rebellion in Uruguay is crushed, and amnesty proclaimed. The police and popn- lace came in conflict, and one was killed and two wounded. The Governments of Great Britain and the United States have chosen Count Luigi Corte, Third Arbitrator at Geneva under the Washington treaty. It is positively announced that the Emperors of Germany and Austria will meet at Sola burg soon. The reports of Beast’s retirement from the Austrian Ministry, are groundless. Tho entry of tho Carlists into Spain is imminent Five heavy columns of troops have been sent to the frontier, and a civil guard concentrated. The Archbishop of Madrid directs the clergy to-refuse the sacra ment to nil persons married by civil rite. All parties in the French Assembly are dissatisfied with the leaders. Goldsboro, N. O., August 2G.—Very gloomy but reliable reports reach the Carolina Messen ger newspaper from nearly all of the connties in eastern North Carolina, of great damage to the cetton crop from the rust. Much alarm pre vails among the planters. The prespecst, so good a few weeks ago, are now very unfavorable, especially in tho cotton counties of Wayne, Dauphin, Lenoir, Green, Johnston, Wilson and Pitt. In these counties the drouth and rust will necessarily cut the crop short fully one- third from last year’s receipts. Similar ac counts are given by gentlemen who have re cently passed through more of the western counties. Fortress Monroe, August 26.—The sehoono* Marion is ashore at Body's Island. The E. F. Dunbar was abandoned at sea. By the arrival of the steamer Resolute, from Body’s Island, we have the following particulars from the schooner Marion: She reports the weather too rough to get the schooner off. It was too heavy to boat the caigo to the steamer. It had to be landed on the beach. Tho Resolute landed about thirty tons of cotton and ties, and pnmped her ont yesterday, bnt sho filled again owing to the rough weather. The Resolute left the steamer B. & J. Barker with her, and returned for an other steam pump. Sho goes back to-night, and, if the weather favors, will save both vessel and cargo. The Marion was from Liverpool for Boston, with a valuable cargo Of machinery, cot ton ties, crockery, etc. New York, August 2G.—It is reported that a canal boat in the Raritan River was run down by the propeller Annie. Capt. G. Thurman, his two sons and daughter were drowned. Geo. S. Cobb, of Atlanta, Ga., has been ar rested on a charge of stealing S10,000 from the office of the Southern Express Company. Cobb was money clerk in the Atlanta office at the time of the robbery. Chicago, August 2C.—The honse of Jacob Rib3kate has been burned. Ribskste and child were burned fatally. His wife was burned to death. Washington, August 2G.—The report of Gen. Crook’s death is discredited at tbe War Depart ment. The Polaris has arrived atHolsteinbnrg,from Greenland. All well. She met the Swedish North Pole Expedition. Savannah, August 2G.—There has been a se vere storm on the line of the Atlantic end Gulf, and Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Rail roads. The telegraph wires are down, and no trains have arrived to-day. A tornado is re ported to havo passed over Tallahassee, FIs. A heavy blow hero for twenty-four hours. Harrisburg, August 2G.—A passenger and freight train collided to-day on the West Port or Erie Road. Four employes were killed and two passengers. WrLirrsoTGN, August2G.—Our city authorities have issued an order of which the following is an extract: “No person from Charleston will be allowed to stop within tho corporate limits of this city, and no person who may visit Charleston from this city will be allowed to return during the continuance of yellow fever in Charleston.” New York, August 2G.—Arrived, Enropa, from Java; arrived ont, steamer La Place. Charleston, August 26.—Arrived, schooner A. S. Gaskill, Phiadelphia; steamer Georgia, New York. Savannas, August 26.—Cleared, steamers Montgomery, New York; San Salvador, New York; brig Proteus. Washington, August- 2G.—Lieut. Charles A. Sehetkey, who was on the steamship City of Houston, makes the following report to Secreta ry Robeson; Febnandina, Fla., August 21,1871. Leaving-New York on tho 12th, in obedience to orders, we proceeded towards Key West. Had good weather until the evening of the 15tb, when atmospheric changes betokened a hurri cane. At 4 o’clock p. m. on the lGtb, being 12 miles east of Cape Oamaval, we encountered breakers of a reef off of that point Here the commander of the vessel, Daniel Partridge, be trayed incapacity, running the vessel in danger ous proximity to the reef. I judged that the vessel was within the limits of the cyclone, on its western side—the vortex being about east, and advancing. The ship was run north and northeast for two hours. At 8 p. m. Sehetkey was called by the first offioer to the pilot honse for consulta tion, who found the captain unfit to command, Sehetkey says from liquor or narcotics. He placed Lieut. Commander J. Schooler in com mand of the ship. Schonler was invested as first officer in command. By this time the ves sel was in the hurricane. All efforts were di rected to her preservation. The sails were split, and nothing was left to save the vessel except to back her, which was done at the suggestion of the first officer. After backing fifteen min- utes the port tiller chain broke. All attempts to secure the rudder failed. Heavy seas came oyer aft, and the cabin was flooded. The cap tain had turned in, and the crew proper of the steamer except first and second officers and as sistant engineer, became frightened and wonld do nothing. The firemen deserted the fire room- and, securing life-preservers, awaited their fate on the hurricane deck. The'ship’s officers having given her tip, the naval officers on board under oommand of Schooler, set the men under their charge lo work bailing ont the ship. There was three feet of water in the fire rocm. Extinguishing the fires the water was reduced. Fires were renewed under the donkey boiler by which the water was pumped out of the ship. From 5 a. xt. to 4 p. m., on the 17th, the vessel was without motive power—the gale increasing un til 7 a. xt . The bulk heads of the engine-room and cabin were used to start the fires. The foremast was ont away to preserve the vesseL Fire was started under one boiler, the other having broken adrift. The steam pipe was now cracked and the ship was helpless until the 19tb, when one boiler was shoved up and the steam pipe temporarily repaired, and the ship brought to Femandina. Boston, August 2G.—John Adams Bates, one of the oldest paymasters of the United States Navy, is dead. New York, Angnst 26.—A dispatch from Charleston, alluding to the progress of yellow fever, says the declaration of the Medical So ciety is considered by leading physicians, inclu ding the Health Officer, as an extreme state ment—many of the cases upon which it was based being donbtfnl. The Health Officer does not consider the facts of the case justify him in withholding clear kills of healih from the New York steamer winch sails to-day. Paris, August 26.—Faidherbe has resigned his seat as deputy because M. Bevel’s commit tee had decided to report in favor of making the Assembly now sitting a constituent As sembly. Athens, August 26.—During a violent storm which passed over Lamia, a town on the Turk ish frontier, lightning struck a powder maga zine, which exploded with terrible effect. The destruction of property was very great. The inhabitants were terror-stricken, and fled to the country. SARATOGA TABLEAUX. What Happened When the Gas Went Ont and What tbe Candles Revealed, “Law,” the Saratoga correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser, gives a cap itally comio account of what happened at one of the hotels there the other night when the gas went put. He says • It was ten o’olook. The stage drove Up from the depot. Almost every lady expected her husband on the train. Many young ladies ex pected their sweethearts. Neither the stage, the driver, nor the horses were visible. From force of habit the passengers felt their way to the reception room. I got mixed up with the crowd. Twenty-five married ladies, seven old maids, and four young ladies commenced greet ing the passengers in the darkness. “My dear William 1 why did yon stay so long ?” exclaimed a sweet young wife, and she threw her arms around my neck—onr lips met. I wasn’t going to be a darned fooL Far different. . Now, a dear, sweet, liquid-eyed brunette threw her arms wildly around me. “O, Eu gene, why did yon not write oftener?” she sobbed, and then Bhe sank sweetly on my bos om. I said, “weep not, Julia,” and then I kissed her swepUy twenty-two times. It was delicious. It made me think of my first wife and my college days at Yale. A ponderous ma tron now approached—dress decollete, hair a la pompadour. She took me in her arms and whispered, “O, Charles, did yon bring my beau tiful dog—did you ?” Madame, my name is not Charles, and I hate dogs. I’dhill every d—d—d—, but she fell fainting at my feet. A sweet, golden-haired blonde now took my hand. She pressed it gently, saying: “Dear Albert, Iknow it is you, and I am so glad to seo yon 1 You won’t dance with Lizzie Smith, now, will yon? Now, do promise me!” I Baid I wouldn’t. Then she held her cheek close to mine. It was hot with love’s young hope and pure, sweet affection. YVe were very happy. 1 None but a wicked man would have brought sadness to this sweet, pure young heart—full of confidence, warm with virgin affection and beau tiful with splendid girlishness. “Do you still love me, Albert?” she whis pered. “ Undoubtedly,” I remarked. “ How muoh, darling ?” “ A heap.” “O, I am too happy!” she murmured, as she twisted her fingers in my auburn hair and held me in a sweet embrace. This sort of thing went on for seventeen min utes, when C. Leland appeared in the distance with a tallow candle. I quietly withdrew and mingled unobserved in the crowd. As the can dle appeared, twenty-seven young gentlemen were seen slinking Lands with as many young ladies in the different comers. I have seldom seen such an affecting scene. It was a great display of affection. One married geritleman was holding the hands of two ladies. The hair of the ladies wa3 generally crimpless, while the hair of the young gentlemen did not display a parting place. I reflected, “how kin such things be, and overcome us like a summer show er ?” I consulted with J. Billings. He says they kan’t. So I resolved to leave the place. Business Is Business. It is a long lime since anything better than this has appeared: The editor of the Colorado Herald had occa sion to leave town for two or three days, and he committed his paper, during his absence, to the charge of a young man, a novice in journalism, whom he had just engaged as his assistant. Be fore leaving, he instructed tho ambitious young editor not to permit any chance to go unim proved to force the paper and the very small size of tho subscription price upon the atten tion of the. public. “Always keep before your mind the fact that the object of this paper iB to extend its circulation,” he said; “and whenever yon see a chance to insert a puff of the Herald in any notice yon make, pile it on a3 thick as yon can. Keep the people stirred up all tho time, you understand, so that they will believe the Herald is the greatest sheet in the United States.” Tho parting tear was shed, and tho editor left The following night, while ho was far away from homo, his wife died very sud denly. Upon the assistant devolved the duty of annonneing the sad intelligence to the public. He did it as follows: “gone, but not forgotten.” We are compelled, this morning, to perform a duty which is peonliarly painful to the able assistant editor, who has been engaged upon this paper at an enormous expense, in accord ance with onr determination to make the Herald a first-class journal. Last night death suddenly and unexpectedly snatched away from onr do mestic hearth (the best are advertised under the bead of stoves and furnaces upon onr first page), Mrs. Agatha P. Burns, wife of Rufns P. Burns, the gentlemanly editor of the Herald. (Terms three dollars a year, invariably in ad vance. ) A kind mother and an exemplary wife. (Office over Coleman’s grocery, up two flights of stairs. Knock bard.) “We shall miss thee, mother, we shall miss thee.” (Job printing so licited.) Funeral at half-past four, from the house, jnst across the street from the Herald office. Gone to be an angel now. (Advertise ments inserted for ten cents a square.”) Well, the editor arrived home that day at coon. Slowly and sadly he was observed to arm himself with a double barreled fowling, piece, into which ho inserted abont two pounds and a half of bullets. He marched over to the office, followed by an immense crowd. The as sistant editor was bosy in painting a big placard to be tacked on tbe hearse. It bore the legend, “Bay yonr coffins of Simms, over the Herald office.” The assistant editor cast his eye around and peroeived his chief. Care sat upon that wan cheek, and thnnder clothed bis brow. He leveled his gun. The assistant did not wait. With one wild and awful yell ho jumped from the second story window, and strnck ont for the golden shores of the Facifio. It is believed he eventually swam over to China.— Chicago Post. Chautauqua Lake, New York, has lately been Infested with a great plague of flies. For some days they hare gathered around the shores at Mayville in such quantities as to darken the landscape. They are very short-lived, and on one morning two and a half baskets of dead flies were swept from the front verandah of the chief hotel of that village. On the opposite aide of the street, where a fresh coating of green punt bad been applied, the little pests lay to the depth of rax inches. The remittances sent by previous emigrants to their friends in Great Britain amounted in 1870 to $3,037,000 transmitted from North America, and $64,020 from Australia. Mercer University—Her Building Enterprise. Editors Telegraph and Messenger ; We are pleased to state that the committee charged with getting up plans and estimates for the college buildings are earnestly engaged in their work. They have sgreed upon (he desiderata of the enterprise, laid their wants before the great architect, Samuel Sloan, and others of the best reputation, and invoked their highest taste to famish plans, which shall meet the present and prospective wants of the institution, and afford an object of just pride to the city of Macon and the friends of the University. Designs are being sought, with a view to an expenditure of from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars. So soon as the plansand estimates can be pro cured, they will be laid before the Board of Trustees for their election; and then the build ing will be commenced. In the meantime we beg to suggest to the cit izens of Macon that the peculiarities of the un dertaking call for a respectful patience on the part of the pnblio towards those who are in charge of the college affairs. This is no private enterprise, upon which one man may decide and act withont delay. The University is the property of the Baptists of Georgia. It is under the control of more than a score of trustees, each of whom has his share of the responsibililg and the right of directing all its movements. These gentlemen, selected by the Georgia Baptist Convention for their in fluence in various sections of the State, are scattered all over Georgia. They work in this important pnblic interest, withont remuneration and at their private expanse. They cannot give their whole timo to the pnblic. Their families and various local private interests make con stant demands upon them. The convenience of all most bs considered, in fixing times for meeting and consultation. It is impossible that a pnblio enterprise so controlled can move off with the speed of a private undertaking. Again, we aro engaged in an effort put up such a group of college buildings as will meet present exigencies, and also provide for the de velopments of the future. We would combine the highest convenience with all attainable ele gance. The problem is worthy of study and careful deliberation. Few men, if any, conld be found capable of deoiding, at once', even upon the present wants to be met in such an undertaking. Bat none, without reflection and investigation, cvul<} wisely determine upon those exigencies, which lie in ihe probabilities of the future, and upon the most modern and enlight ened modes of meeting them. The best arcul- tectural talent of the country ought to bo and will fc# consulted before a blow is strnck. It would be extremely unfortunate if those charged with preparation for tho building should impatiently hurry out upon a badly digested plan. It would be a lasting monument of their short sightedness, and an unfailing sonree of mortification to enlightened friends. Exoepting from the compliment the humble author of this article, the character of the gen tlemen who compose the building committee, entitles them to every presumption, that they will first comprehend and then perform, their duty, with all the speed compatible with discre tion. Their known good senso and zeal for the University will ensure success as early as a ripe success can he obtained. When the trustees last met iu Macon, on the 4th of July, the litigation abont the amendment of the charter had not been finally settled. They could not then proceed to build. By measures then passed, the settlement has'since been con summated. Thereby, the amendment granted by Jndgo Cole, locating this Institution in Macon, has been fatly and finally affirmed by tho Supreme Court of the State, and the re moval to Macon is an accomplished fact. Mer cer University is not to come to your city, but is already there, and cannot get away. These statements show why bnildings have not yet been begun, and ought to assure you, that in due time you will seo the fullest development of Mercer University in yonr midst. Meantime, we would respectfully suggest, “let patience have her perfect work.” John T. Clarke, Chairman Mcrcer^University Building Com mittee. Cnthbert, Ga., August 22, 1871. Letter from Fort Gaines. Fort Gaines, Clay county, August 23d. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Having gymnasticised myself on tho outer part of a meal, which as to girth, shows on increase of circnmferenco, I sought for tho Datt.v Tele graph and Messenger, of tho above date. Tho columns of this popular paper I scanned with no little degree of interest. I find, Messrs. Editors, this paper to bo a li sinc qua non” to the existence of a great number of citizens in this southwestern part of the State, and were it not for the unbounded generosity of those who are Us recipients, or the "next door” of a great many, its nomenclature of subscribers would increase 25 per cont. However, “borrowers” or “spongershave always lived; bnt often incommoding tho more liberal. Tho crops between Macon and this metropo lis (!) aro quito variable, as a general thing they are so so, if so good—abont two-third3 a crop expected. , Dawson, Cnthbert and Fort Gaine3, in whica places I have recently been, are fearfully dull, more especially, the tirBt and last. It is attribu table to the groat scarcity of the “essence” of tho existence of onr worldly men. Bat, since “brevity is the soul of wit,” I will be brief in mentioning a point or two where one can get many of the indispensably essential pleasures, around which wo so fondly and lin geringly dwell: First, the Dawson • House, (Dawson,) kept by Mr. B. F. Collins, who makes it a specialty to provide numerous “good things ” for the inner man of his guests. The Hays House, (Cnthbert,) proprietor of the same name, does bnt corroborate its former reputa tion, as a No. 1 Hotel. To bring this hastily written and desultory letter to a close, I will respectfully bow and re tire (owing to my somnolent proclivities) to be anon wrapt in the inviting arms of somnus, of course; there to dreamily explore the elysian fields, in search of absent loved ones.

A few days ago he was driving the animal across tho prarie, when it suddenly stopped. The man left his wagon and attempted to induce that mule to move on, but without success. He beat it, he choaked it, he threatened it, and he cursed it, but it refused'to budge. He tied fire-crack ers to its tail and exploded them, bnt the mule merely tamed its head in a languid sort of way, examined the fire-works, and calmly winked at the man. Then tho man thought perhaps the mule had forgotten something ana wanted to go back, so he tried to tom him around; but the mole expressed a firm determination not to go home. The man became desperate, and thought ho would build a fire under the mnlo; bnt ns fast as he would kindle it the mule, standing firm upon three legs, reached over with its other leg and kicked the flames out. Then ho tore his hair and swore—the man did—and horoshed to tho wagon and got twelve pounds of gunpowder, and he dug a hole under that mule and built a mine. Then he coverod up the charge and laid a slow match and stood off a little piece while he lit it. There was a ramble, a roar, then a terifio explosion; and amid the cloud of dust and unheaved rocks, the mule was observed lo fling Us hind legs in the air and fo support itself upon its fore feet in that position until the blast was over, when it quickly assumed its old attitude, and a gen tle smile passed over its features as it per ceived its master lying down, groaning and carsing the day on which he was bom. It was of no use. The man went home and brought two yoke of oxen. He hitohed them to his mule, and thoy pulled; but the mule dug its hoofs into the prairie, and there it stood as firm as Cassabianca on the burning deck. Then the man, in a furious rage, went and got three moveable steam engines and ohained them to the mnle. Three half-inoh cables were snapped asunder, and tho mnle still maintained the defiant attitude. It is there yet, and the man has made a contract with a builder to go ont there and erect a mill over the mnle, because be rogards him now as one of the permanent Axtnres of the plaoe, and he thinks he oan apply the power for the mill by arranging to have the mule’s tail twisted right hard every few minutes with machinery. The following story iB related by Mr. Jeffer son concerning the first Oontinental Congress t “Delegate Harrison, of Virginia, desiring to 'stimulate,' presented himself and friend at a certain place where supplies were famished Congress, and ordered two glasses of brandy and water. The man in charge replied that liquors were not included in the supplies fur nished Congressmen. ‘Why,’ said Harrison, ‘what iB it, then, that I see the New England members come here and drink ?’ ‘Molasses and water, which they have charged as stationery,’ was the reply. ‘Then give me the brandy and water,’ quoth Harrison, and charge it as/ueh’ ’’ Markets—Evening Report.
