TERMS: E-ailvpaper (if paid in advance) ....per annum. .$8 00 Tri-Weekly (if paid in advance) per annum.. 5 00 Weekly (if paid in advance) per annum.. 200 AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 27. FOR GOVERNOR, HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Os Baldwin County. Do the People of Georgia wish to agitate again the Slavery Question? This delicate and paramount subject is intro duced into these columns at this time, not for the purpose of provoking discussion—for of it the people have had 'enough—but to advise them of the fact, that the spirit of agitation is abroad in the State, and that we have reasons to believe, that the slavery question will be the ruling topic of the present canvass. We admit that all the fears and apprehensions expressed ;in regard to the rights of the South, and the pre sent peril of the Union—mean just nothing at all except to catch votes. The conduct of those who are going about indulging in their vain speculations and false prophecies, belie their sincerity, for after all, they are not pre vented by their over anxiety in reference to this matter, from buying and selling and making money and enjoying themselves, though at the same time they would induce others to act as though their property and the government were on the very brink of destruction. Now we protest against the right of any man thus to disturb the peace and good order of society, by creating false alarms on any sub ject, which if true, might be good ground for un easiness. But more particularly is it reprehen sible and unjust, when this is done about a ques tion in which such an amount of property is in volved, and whose value is more or less effected by every excitement touching ifs security, and on one which has so recently caused the foun dation of this Union to tremble to its centre. It is a criminal and interested trifling with one of the most momentous subjects connected with the future prospects and destiny of one portion of this confederacy—and yet it, for all purposes and on all occasions, is talked about, as if it could be managed by the veriest tyro in the science of Government, and a fit theme on which the man of yesterday could, with impunity, shout forth his flourishing decla mation. Besides this, it shows a dangerous spirit and an unhappy temper of mind, manifest ed by a never satisfied desire to create strife and discord, and a never failing energy in fomenting ill-will and discontent in the most happy and favored circumstances, by which they are sur rounded. There are such men in communities and they extend their evil and pernicious in fluence wherever they go, and to whatever they turn their attention. They are marked and ab horred as evil doers, busybodies, lovers and pro moters of everything that will set man against his fellow-man—communities against commu nities—States against States, and all against the Union. We ask in the name of every thing we love and all that we cherish, is it not time that we should cease our wranglings with one-another ? Has not the public mind been already excited to its highest pitch—is there any necessity for more ! Have not the wounds of the country been bleeding long enough and free enough—and is it not time they should remain closed and closed forever? • We ask again, is this dispute to continue year after year, and is there to be no end of this hos tility and discord between the North and the South? Are we to be taught continually to look on our northern brethren as enemies, and that they desire to see the day arrive when all of our interests are to be precipitated into ruin ? Answer ye men of discord—you who are contin ually harping about the rights of the South, and danger to the Union. You deceivers of the peo ple—who know that the Union is in no danger of being dissolved, and for party purposes would practice a deception on them, by proclaiming its peril, when you know that it is secure.— You are the disunionists—and we make the charge in the face of all that you do and say.— Even in Richmond county, there is a call for a Union Meeting—a shallow and unholy prostitu tion of that sacred name. Is there a clique or party in our midst, that is opposed to this Union? We challenge the production of that name The very inference is a gross libel on our people and they will ultimately put down those who, to catch votes, are proclaiming danger, dan ger, when there is none. It is a hollow device which is discovered and which will be remem bered. The Ball In Motion. We begin to receive letters from sections of the interior where Democrats were recently divided, highly favorable to the success of our Democratic candidate for Governor. Among the number, we give the following from a recent Whig in Gwinnett county, under date of Law renceville, July 24. Keep the Ball in motion. Before closing this, would be in teresting to you, to learn something in relation to crops and politics in this section. We have been visited with fine rains for the last two weeks and corn and cotton are now looking well. I think the crop here will be an average one. ‘ In regard to politics, our prospects in this county are truly flattering. The Democrats are united, and there are a number of patriotic whigs, mysell among the number, who are con vinced that the principles of the Democratic party are the correct ones for the country, and are now battling for their country and Democ racy. We expect to give a good account of our selves next October. We have not as yet formed our ticket for the legislature, but will do ao the first Tuesday in next month.” Habersham Oorn. We have been presented with the sample of corn blade mentioned in the letter below, re ceived from the plantation of Maj. Williams, of Habersham county. It measures in its present dry state, nearly five inches across, and if a fair sample, which we have no doubt it is, the crop would no doubt do a low-countryman good to look at. Maj Williams is generally considered one of the best farmers in the up country, and generally makes fine crops. He is a hale, hearty widow'er of about 70 years of age, and as the writer of the letter below is one of the fair sex? we must say it w’as rather ungallant on his part’ to invite her to ride through his splendid field of corn and lose herself: Habersham County, July 19. “ Corn crops are generally looking very shab bily. Maj. Williams has a splendid crop, being mostly bottom land, has suffered but little. He has a piece of Corn which surpasses any I have ever seen. It is really a treat to ride through it. It has the largest stalks I ever saw, and so tall, that one cannot touch the top riding on horse back with a long riding switch. I went through with the Major yesterday morning, While ri ding across, he got rather a head of me, about a rod, I suppose, and I was completely lost and could not find him any where for sometime. It amused him very much to think I should get lost in his Corn. This morning he brought me a piece of blade to send you, so you may see the size. It is not only one or two stalks, but all over the same size. It is the most beautiful grove I ever saw. The piece I send you has faded from being exposed to the sun after being plucked.” The Catastrophe at Niagara Falls. The Buffalo papers contain thrilling accounts of the late accident at Niagara Falls, by which three lives were lost. Avery, the young man who clung with desperation to an upright log from 9J o’clock on Monday night until 6 o’clock on Tuesday evening, was only 20 years of agei and, to add to the painful interest of the frightful scene, his distracted father was one of the throng of spectators which lined the shores during all day on Tuesday. During the day hundreds left Buffalo by the railroad trains, but, on their arri val at the Falls, were unable to render the un fortunate man any assistance, and were com pelled to look on with painful suspense until their worst fears were realised, and the fierce element whirled its poor victim beneath its boiling current. The Buffalo Commercial has the following additional particulars: Our informant tells us that Avery was in a part of the rapids where the rocks rise nearly to the surface of the water. A log of wood, appa rently wedged tightly between the rocks, and crossed by another, still higher out of the 4 water, was his resting place. Here he remained, hall clinging to and half perching upon the log, from which he would occasionlly slip down and walk a little on the rocks, which were only a short distance under the water. A few feet in advance was a small fall of about four or five feet, and here and on each side of him the waters rushed wi dly on at a speed of about forty miles an hour. About 2i o’clock in the afternoon, a raft was constructed formed of crossed timbers, strongly fastened in a square form, a hogshead being placed in the centre. The raft was strongly secured with ropes on each side, and w'as floated down to the rocks up on which Avery was stationed. As it approach ed the spot where he stood, the rope got fast in the rocks, and the raft became immovable. Aveiy then appeared to muster strength and courage, and descending from the log, walked over the rocks to the place where the rope had caught and labored long and hard to disengage it from the rocks. After some time he succeeded, and then w r ith renewed energy, inspired by the hope of rescue, he pulled manfully at the rope until he succeeded in bringing the raft from the current towards his fearful resting-place. Avery now got on to the raft, making himself fast thereto by means of r pes which had been placed there for that purpose, and those on the land commenced drawing it towards the shore. It had approached within thirty feet of one of the small islands, towards which its course was di rected, when suddenly it became stationary in the midst of the rapids, the ropes having again caught in the rocks. All endeavors to move it were found to be in vain, and much fear was entertained that the strain upon the ropes might break them and oc casion the poor fellow’s loss. Various sugges tions were now r volunteered, and several at tempts were made to reach him. One man went out in a boat as far as he dared to venture, and asked him if he would fasten a fope round his body and trust to being drawn in by that. The poor fellow, however, shook his.head des pondingly,as though he felt that) hjp had not strength enough remaining to makes; himself se cure to a rope. At length a boat was got ready —a life boat, which had arrived fr(>^a|.^uffalo — and was launched. Seeing the a o ns, Avery unloosed his fastenings, wish inten tion of being ready to spring boat. Borne on by the rushing waters, the breathless suspense of the boat approached the raft. A thrill ran th*iii**h the crowd—the boat lived in the angry/ —it struck the raft—a shout of joy rang fai th* from the shores, for it wns believed that he .Unsaved —when suddenly the hope that had bejjjj'f raised was again destroyed—a moment’s conf?£ffn fol lowed the collision, and in the next the victim was seen in the midst of the waters, separated from his frail support and struggling for life. For a minute or two the poor fellow, striking out boldly, swam strongly towards the - island, and the cry echoed from shore to shore that he would yet be saved. But soon the fact became certain that he receded from the shore—his strength was evidently failing. Gradually he was borne back into the fiercest part of the cur rent —slowly at first then more rapidly. Swiftly and more swiftly he approached the brink of the fatal precipice—the waters had him at last, their undisputed victim, and madly they whirled him on to death, as though enraged at his persevering efforts to esca; e their fury. A sickening feeling came over the spectators when just on the brink of the precipice, the doomed man sprung up from the waters—clear from their surface—raising himself upright as a statue, with his arms flung wildly aloft, and with a piercing shriek that rang loudly above the mocking roar of the cataract, fell back again into the foaming waves, and was hurried over the brow of the fatal precipice. The boat w’hich was made fast to the log, and the raft, are still swaying to and fro in the cur rent. None of the bodies have been found, and probably never will be.

Diminutive Engine.— lt is stated that Mr, Warner, a Loudon watchmaker, Las sent to this country, for exhibition at the World’s Fair, the working models of two steam engines. The smallest one, an oscillating cylinder en gine, stands upon an English four penny piece, (size of a half dime,) with room to spare ! The cylinder is but one-sixth of an inch in diameter, the length of stroke three eighths, and diameter of the piston is that of an ordinary needle. The other is a beam en gine, composed of more than two hundred pieces. The length of the stand is three and a quarter inches, length of beam two and a quarter inches, diameter of cylinde three eights of an inch, and the length of stroke seven-eighths of an inch. Both of these en gines are screwed together with the delicacy and precision of the works of a watch. Memphis and Charleston Railroad. —We learu from the Memphis Enquirer that the work is progressing finely on the section of this road beyond LaGrange. There are about 800 men at work now on the first 23 miles, and additional laborers go up from Memphis with almost every train. All the heaviest work is now begun, and the Enquirer expects soon to be able to announce that the work is in actual progress on every section of the entire 43 miles. Even at this dull season the number of passengers over the road will average not less than LOO daily. The iron is laid down on the Sommerville Branch for a distance of about four miles, and the work is progressing well. The cars will be running over it about the middle of Sep tember. An auction sale of 5,089 bags of Rio Coffee, took place at Philadelphia a day or two ago. It realized SBO,OOO. This is the first auction sale of the kind which has taken place in Philadel phia in several years, and is attributed to the great reduction of auction duties by the last le gislature. Paris Fashions. The New York Journal of Commerce has a letter, dated Paris, June 27, giving the following account of the prevailing fashions in ladies’ dress. We copy it for the information of our readers, to whom, we are pretty confident, noth ing in our paper can be more acceptable: The toilettes most in demand at the present moment are those adapted for the watering places. The style of dress now worn at those fashionable places of summer resort is very bril liant and extravagant. A novelty in robes has recently appeared, very different from anything w T e have been accustomed to see, and which deserves a description. The silk skirt has seven, eight or nine flounces of graduated shades of the tame color, the darkest being placed at the bot tom*of the skirt; the body of this dress is of a lighter shape than the lighest colored flounce.— There are other silks with the same number of flounces, each of which is of a different color; the last flounce, for instance, is violent, the next above is green, and the third grey, and so on ; these flounces are trimmed with a ribbon of the same color. The bodies generally worn with these gay skirts are of white muslin. The fa vorite sleeve of the present moment is that styled the Anne of Austria sleeve; this is a double sleeve, the under one of w r hich is white, either muslin, lace, or taffeta; it is almost tight at the shoulder, half wide towards the elbow, and tight at the wrist; the outer sleeve is of the same material as the dress, and is cut straight, wide, and rather short, and is open from the shoulder to the edge, only drawn together in three places, thus showing the white sleeve through the openings. Manv dresses are made •of white muslin with seven festooned flounces; also of Louisa blue taffeta with three flounces pinked at the edge, each surmounted by a pink ed ruche. Very short pelisses, ornamented with an abun dance of bows and ruches, have been in great vogue until the last few weeks, when a change has been made in the shape of these graceful gar ments. These mantles are now longer and ful ler, and plaited a la vieille , and are trimmed with three or four flounces of lace. The magnificent black Chantilly lace forms a beautiful decora tion for the pelisses. Black lace points and scarfs are favorite additions to full dress toilettes. Bonnets and caps are literally covered with flowers; wreathes of light roses made of crape and lace, are formed into caps and head dresses for dinner or evening costume. On tuscan or rice straw bonnets there are placed beautiful jas min tufts of straw and daisies mixed with field flowers. In linen articles there are new bodies, which serve the same as chemisettes and under bodies; the fronts are of Valenciennes insertions and English embroideries; also Valenciennes lace with muslin bouillons, through which ribbons are run. The Empress collar is made excessive ly wide and rich. This style of collar is only suitable for ladies who are stout, as it sets off from the neck, displays the throat and spreads over the shoulders. Jewelry is as much worn at the entertain ments at watering places, as in the ball rooms of Paris. Many bracelets cover the arms ; corals, chased gold and enamelled ornaments are in good taste, even when worn with the morning costume. For promenades on the sea-side or in pub lic walks, the Eugenia mantilla cars forms a pretty and dressy garment. Its shape is low on the shoulders and rounded in front; the width in the midd'e of the back is very nearly half a yard, and the length varies two yards to two and a quarter. It is gradually narrowed towards the ends, which are not more than eight inches wide and are cut square. Three rows ot white guipure, four inches wide, sewed on flat, cover this w’hite silk mantle. A guipure silk braid heads each row r of lace, anß, a guipure lace from 12 to 14 inches in w r idtnj sewed round the edges, completes this mantle. The following recipe* for making Tomato Figs has been received by the Directors of the South Carolina Institute from Mrs. Johnston, to whom a Premium wa9 awarded at the last Fair for Tomato Figs. The recipe having been re ceived too late for insertion in the report of the Board, they now make it public, for the benefit of their fellow-citizens: Tomato Figs. —Put three pounds of clarified brown sugar to every five pounds ot tomatos.— They must be first scalded to remove the skin, then placed in a stone jar, tomatos and sugar al ternately to extract the juice ; in 24 hours boil them in their own juice until the sugar pene trates and they look clear, but not so much as to mash them. Very little boiling is necessary.— Return them to the jar to remain two days, when you must pour off the syrup ; boil it and throw over the tomatos. In two days more boil the syrup again and throw over them. Let them remain two days, and then shake them from the syrup and dry on dishes, turning them every day for a week of good drying weather in the sun. Should the weathei be damp after all the boiling is finished, they can remain in the syrup until good weather. When perfectly dry, pack down in small wooden boxes, treating each layer to sifted loaf sugar. New Cotton. —The Albany Patriot of the 22d inst., says : We have recently seen several very fine specimens of the cotton weed, and on Tuesday last a gentleman brought to our office some open bolls of Cotton grown near this place. It is estimated that Baker county will this year produce thirty thousand bales o Cotton. We have had rain again this w’eek. The weather continues fine and the country healthy. The Selma State Sentinel says that Messrs. Reed & Crow are now about completing the boring of the Artesian well at the foot of Broad street. Water was obtained at the depth of 198 feet, sufficient to run out; the depth now is about 400 feet, and it discharges about 125 gal lons per minute. It is the second boldest w T ell in the place. The same paper states that the Artesian well in the yard of the Selma Manufacturing Com pany is the best Chalybeate water, and is a great place of resort for the citizens. “ We took an occasion the other evening, in company with a friend from Louisiana who de desired looking at the things “ about town,” of giving this well a visit, and we were surprised to find the number of carriages there, and the persons visiting the well for the purpose of drink ing this water. This well promises to be a great acquisition to this place—it serves to sup ply all the purposes of that large manufacturing establishment, and is useful to the citizens as a mineral beverage. It is delightfully situated, in a grove of oak growth, and conveniently situated for a delightful walk of an evening.” [communicated.] Covington, Ga.. July 25th, 1853. Mr. Editor: —Through the columns of your paper, I wish to propound the following ques tions to the Hon. H. Y. Johnson : First, Do you believe the people of this State have the right to control the retail traffic in spirituous liquors within their respective mili tia districts as they may think proper? Second, Are you in favor of their enjoying that right? o; would you if elected Governor of the State of Georgia, give your sanction to a bill which would lead directly to such results? I have taken this method to satisly many voters as well as myself, who are Democrats, and some whigs. NEWTON. Imported Stock.— The imported stock which arrived at Philadelphia from Liverpool, a few days ago, consists of fifty head of Durham cat tle, thirty-two sheep, one celebrated Cleveland bay horse, and a Neapolitan sow, with a fine litter of pigs. A portion of this fine stock, (which has been selected, from the most cele brated herds in England,) is the property of R. Atchison Alexander, one of the most wealthy young men in Kentucky, and the remainder be ings to a company of farmers, in the counties of jrayette,Bourbon and Woodford, in that State. Ihe expenseattending their introduction, it is said, will be over fifty thousand dollars, as they have been purchased without regard to expense, as may be interred from the fact of a bull and heifer having cost five hundred and twenty-five dollars 8 ’ ° r W6n y ' BIX hundred and twenty-five [Correspondence of the Morning 2Vfu>».] The Crystal Palace—The Opera—The Markets. New York, July 20,1853. I wrote you on the 16th instant, and even at the risk of weatying your readers, I must con tinue the same subject, namely, the Crystal Pal ace. Singularly enough, the chief excitement here, in regard to the exhibition, exists among strangers—many of them of the unsophistica ted Moses of the Wakefield-school, fresh from the most rural of the rural districts, who gaze with unfeigned admiration at the outside of Barnum’s Museum, and are ready to faint as soon as they enter the great Glass House. These, and gentlemen from other large cities of the Union, whose stay in New York must necessari ly be limited by the calls of business, from *ne principal bulk of the present visiters, while the “ natives,” the Cockneys of America, are holding back, as vegetable dealers say, lor a better show. The natives, who are in town, are wise in one respect, and unwise in another. They certainly will get more for their money by and by; but, in the meanwhile they are losing the valuable opportunity for studying the curiosities which are now being exhibit ed, and which are more “ comentable” in the midst of what theatrical folks style a thin house.” . . ... What is it, though, that keeps depressing the stock of the Crystal Palace Company ? Is it the absence of the anticipated crowds—for crowds there have been none —or is it that people doubt the greatness of an undertaking which has been honored by the presence of the President ? At present it is indeed difficult to say what can be the reason that Crystal Palace Stock, which used to be up to 180, is very dull indeed at 123 and 125. The wet weather may possibly have some effect in deterring visitors,and as the num ber of these has a great influence on the stock, it may be that the rain has made the shares too moist for present business purposes. Be this as it may, however, disappointment is rampant among the.stock holders, stock jobbers, and out side runners of Wall-street, whose chances of making what they poetically term “a handsome haul,” out of the transaction, are looking more slender than is likely to be agreeable. There are, on the other hand, one or two points which shoald be taken into consideration. With the exception of a few families of stand ing, and a few others who erroneously suppose that by their assiduous attentions to the English commissioners they are impressing those foreign, ers with a sense of American dignity, there can scarcely be a hundred complete households in the city. That gregarious compound unit known as 44 everybody,” is off to Saratoga, Longbranch, Virginia Springs, Newport, New Rochelle and everywhere else besides, where he only dreams of the Crystal Palace and anticipates by visions the beauty of that fairy place. He does not hur ry himself, of course, because the exhibition is still incomplete, and he knows that by waiting he will soon see it to greater advantage, and ac cordingly he prefers for the present to continue his angling and bathing. He is right, let him, like a wise hydra as he is, enjoy the country while he can, winter, the old ogre, comes fast enough, let us be merry while he sleeps. The English department of the Crystal Palace, though containing many very attractive and beautiful objects, is not, by any means, as full as I expected to see it. The French department is particularly empty, while the best stored por tion of the building may be said to be that be longing to Italy. There is a great contrast ob servable between the two departments apper taining to Italy and the United States, than in any other branch of the Exhibition. In the former everything is graceful, beautiful, artistic, and so forth, but there is little or nothing that is absolutely useful, while in the province of the United States everything is solidly useful, while there is precious little that can be called strictly graceful. The greater part of the contributions from France are said to be still on the water, and a great many packages are expected to ar rive from England. I have been taking a note here and another there, but will defer till my next any detailed notice of the contents of the Exhibition. Mean while, I assure you I have seen enough to con vince me that there is assembled under the roof of the Crystal Palace, a sufficient number of cu rious, interesting and instructive articles to fully warrant a trip from Savannah. Come up and let us astonish some of you Georgia gentlemen. The opera troupe are not getting very full audiences at Castle Garden, which is only to be accounted for by the same cause as keeps the Crystal Palace comparatively empty : namely, the absence of half New York from any part of New York, comprised within the limits of “the city.” People like well enough to hear the great artistes who are performing at Castle Gar den ; but the town is warm—the country is cool —the town is full of miserable odors—the coun try teems with the breath of flowers and the perfume of new made hay and fruit blossoms— the city is still half full of men who bore you to death about the Buffalo platform and the Balti more ticket, and similar humbug—while in the country you have the singing of birds, the hum ming of bees—the honest watch-dog’s bark, the lisping of children and all the other sweets men tioned by Byron, including the rainbow. King Solomon who was up to a thing or two, said truly that “ there are a time and a place for all things,”—and New York in July is certainly no place for a man who can go into the country. The rumors of war in the East have lately thickened on us—and it is a curious fact that while a great many of the English residents are inclined to look on war as inevitable, our own men of business are sanguine of peace. In the interim, however, breadstuff's run up like every thing, there being accounts of poor prospects for the European harvests generally superadded to the reports of impending war. Flour is very firm to-day at SSIJa $5.50 per bbl. for common State brands. In Cotton there is no activity, and prices re main without alteration. Exchange on England, 9i a9J per cent. Nessuno. A gentleman named Dunlop being present at a party where one of the company had made several puns on the names of persons present, remarked that he had never heard his name pun ned upon, and did not believe it could be done— “ There is nothing in the world more easy, sir,” replied the punster, “just lop off half the name and it is DunP We have had several refreshing showers since our last issue, and our farmers are now confident of making almost, if not quite, an average crop. We think from present prospects the probability is strong that the rats and the weevil will eat some of the dollar a bushel corn.— Buena Vista Vademecuum , 22 d inst. Remedy for Cancer. —Col. D. Ussery, of the parish of Desoto, informs the editors of the Cad do Gazette, that he has fully tested a remedy for this troublesome disease,recommended to him by a Spanish woman, a native of the country. The remedy is this: Take an egg and break it; put in salt, and mix with the yolk as long as it will receive it; stir them together until the salve is formed; put a portion of this on a piece ot stick ing plaster, and apply it to the cancer about twice a day. He has tried the remedy twice in his own family with complete success.

An old paper has the following : 44 A very devout fellow, not being able to please his nice piety in his pravers, used only to repeat the alphabet, and then add, 44 Oh Lord God, put these letters into syllables, and those syllables into words, and these words into sentences, that may be for my real good.” Mr. Speaker, said a member of the Jamaica Legislature, discussing a bill for the regulation of the timber trade, 44 I know these timber mer chats to be most egregious rascals—l was in the timber line myself twelve years.” 44 Mike, and it is yerself that can be after tel ling me how they make ice cream?” 44 In truth I can—do they not bake them in cowld ovens, to be sure.” The Albany Express tells a very good story about a barber-pole pantalooned youth, who re cently went on a visit to his grandmother, in the country, and astonished her very much by wearing such 44 patched trowsers from home.” BY TELEGRAPH. * Reported lor the Constitutionalist Sc Republic. New Orleans, July 24. Yellow Fever in New Orlean£ The Yellow Fever is rather bad here, .but is mostly confined to the hospitals. Thirty to forty deaths are reported per day, mostly among the lower classes. The Arctic’s advices came to hand last night, but no general news. New Orleans, July 25. Later from Mexico. The steamer Texas has arrived, bringing ad vices from Mexico to the 16th inst. The Texas brings Vera Cruz dates to 22d inst. No mail from California had been received. The failure was supposed to be caused by the Mexican Post Office authorities on the route, de laying the license for examining the mails. The papers are filled with discussions on the Spanish Protectorate, which is favoredby gov ernment. The Orleans Commission were appointed to form rules for the Jesuits, who were invited to return to Mexico. Santa Anna wa3 preparing for a union of Church and State. Count Bouldon, the French invader, had ar rived in Mexico, and had visited the President. A Decree had been issued fixing the penalty of death for defrauding the Treasury. The Diligence from Mexico to Vera Cruz had been robbed, and one passenger killed. Fifteen robbers had been arrested. There had been a dreadful inundation of the town of Jalisco. The town of Hera Jucan had been destroyed and many lives lost. Bishop Timoll, was among the passengers in the Texas. Later from California. The steamer Pampero has arrived with dates from San Francisco to the Ist inst. The repoits from the mining districts are most favorable. O’Donohue, the Irish Patriot, arrived at San Francisco on the 22d June, and has published an account of his escape. He is now on his way to New York, in the steamer Northern Light, which vessel left San Juan on the 12th, with six hundred thousand dollars in gold. Gov. Bigler has been re-noninated for Gov ernor of California. Counterfeit Gold Slugs were in circulation in California. The clipper ship Typhoon, ran ashore and stove a hole in her bottom. She was repairing. The mining town of Rough and Ready has been entirely destroyed by fire. The schr.

Markets.—Flour quiet—Haxall sl3 a 14 ; Rio coffee 12 ; Boston Pork, better, clear 27 a 28, and Mess 25 ; Hams 16 a 18 ; Lard in kegs 13, and in tins 14 cents. From Oregon. The Pampero brings later advices from Ore gon, than previously received. Gen. Lane, had been elected Delegate to Con gress. Good Coal mines had been discovered near St. Helens. Gold had been found on aSrtain River, which had caused considerable excitement at Portland. Charleston, July 26—p. m. The Danish brig Anna Margaretta arrived here to-day, seven days from Havana, bound for Copenhagen, with sugar.

The Fugitive Slave Excitement—Arrest of the United States Marshal. —George Smith, the fugi tive, was to-day remanded to his master. A writ of habeas corpus was subsequently sued out, and an attempt made to take possession of the negro. The United States marshal, upon what he conceived to be legal grounds, refused to sur render the fugitive, whereupon the marshal himself was taken into custody by the sheriff for contempt of couit. The matter has pro duced quite an excitement. Cincinnati, July 22. Mississippi Whig Convention. —The Mississip pi Whig Convention assembled at Jackson. It was the largest Convention assembled in the State for many years. Hon. W. A. Lake, of Vicksburg, was chosen President, and R. K. Arthur, of Vicksburg, and Thomas Palmer, of Jackson, appointed Secretaries. A general com mittee of one from each county was appointed. Francis M. Rogers was nqminated for governor. The Convention denounced General Pierce for appointing free soilers to office. Mr. Rogers has accepted the nomination. Louisvillr, July 22. From Santa Fe. —The Santa Fe mail arrived at Independence on the 24th. James S. Webb, of Santa Fe, and Major Gordon, of the army, came as passengers. Everything remains quiet in New Mexico. Col. Sumner was passed at Cotton Wooden on his way to St. Louis. The mail brings no news of interest. The party met Gen. Garland and Gov. Meriwether on the Ar kansas ; also large parties of traders and others— all getting on finely. We heard a friend relate the accompanying incident the other day with not a little zest, and to the amusement of a good many bystan ders— ‘Jumping into an old-fashioned stage coach last month, in company with nine others to jostle over 10 miles of unfinished road between Pittsburg and Philadelphia, I was very much amused with the following characteristic dia logue between a regular question asking ‘ Down Easter’ and a high-heeled Southerner. We were scarcely seated, our Yankee be ga.i: 4 Traveling East, I expect v 4 Yes, sir.’ ' Goin' to Philadelphia, I reckon?’ ‘ No, sir.’ 4 Oh, ah, to New York, maybe ?’ 4 Yes, sir.’ 4 Calc’latin to buy goods, I presume ?’ 4 No, sir.’ 4 Never ben there before, I wouldn’t wonder ?’ ‘ No, sir; never.’ ‘New York is a wonderful place.’ ‘ Such is my impression, sir.’ ‘ Got letters, I expect?’ ‘ Yes, sir; I am provided with letters of intro duction.’ ‘ Wouldn’t mind showin’ you round myself a spell, if you wanted.’ 4 1 thank, you, sir ; but I shall not require your assistance.’ This last remark of the polite but reserved stranger was a poser; and the ‘inquisitor’ fell back a moment to take breath, and change his tactics. The half-suppressed smile upon the face of the other passengers soon aroused the Yankee to still further exertions ; and summon ing up more resolution, he began again : * Stranger, perhaps you are not aware how al mighty hard it is tor a Yankee to control his curiosity. You’ll please excuse me, but I really would like to know your name, and residence, and the business you follow. I expect you ain’t ashamed of either of ’em ; so now won’t you just obleege me V This last appeal brought out our Southern friend, who rising up to the extremest height allowed by the coach, and throwing back his shoulders replied. 1 My name is General Andrew Washington. I reside in the State of Mississippi. I am a gentleman of leisure, and I am glad to be able to say, of extensive means. I have heard much of New York, and I am now on my way to see it ; and if I like it as well as I am led to J expect I intend to—Bur it !’ Then was heard a shout of senatorian laugh ter throughout the stage coach, and this was the last of that conversation. *’ Mr. Jones, don’t you think marriage is a means of grace ?” “ Certainly, my dear madam; anything is a means of grace that breaks up pride and leads to repnetance.” Exit, Mr. Jones, under the influence of a mop handle.
