My old green cotton “ umbercl, Thou'st served me long and served me well, And now it grieves my heart to tell That thou hast left me, — That thievish hand, with purpose fell, . Os thee has reJtrne. Many’s the we f and dreary day Thou'st braved the perils of the way, When lowering tempests did essay To soak me through ; Thou'st dared the elemental tray, As good as new. Relentless man ! us two to part, — Was there no softness in thy heart, j Ho voice from out its depths to start, Thy hand to stay? A fiend—a very fiend—thou art — 'Tis plain as day. But may no comfort on thee rest! May all thy airs, that should be west, Blow from the east with furious zest, Thy joy to ban ! May conscience render thee unblest, A wretched man! Round thee may raging rain-storms rear, And thunder threaten veDgeanco sore! May that old umberel no more Protection shed ! May heaven its rain resentless pour Upon thy head! [Frvm the N. O. Crescent , 9th insf.] The Unburied Dead On Sunday afternoon information was sent to the Mayor that numerous dead bodies were lying on the ground in the Lafayette Cemetery, unburied, for the want of force to perform the work of sepulture- The Chairman of the Com mittee on Cemeteries, Mr. Kurshedt, appointed by the Board of Health, repaired to the spot about dark. Near there he found the “ chain gang, 7 ’ which had been employed from early in the afternoon in the work of burial, coming away, having been unable to inter all the bodies. He prevailed on them, by promises of extra pay and a supper, to go back and resume the work. On arriving at the Cemetery, he found seventy one bodies laying piled on the ground, swollen and bursting their coffins, and enveloped in swarms of dies. The chain gang was set to work burying them, and by half-past three o’clock yesterday they were all interred. Or ders were given, we have been informed by the competent authority, that no more bodies should be sent to that Cemetery yesterday. One cause of the pressure on this Cemetery was, as we have been informed, the impassable state of Louisa street, burying ground of St. Vin cent de there are sixty graves dug, and left in consequence of the dif ficulty of getting to them. It is also reported that the reason why burial could not be pro cured in the Lafayette Cemetery, was because the Sexton retused to pay more than twenty cents each for digging the graves. This official gets a dollar from the Corporation for each body buried, and if from a niggard motive he failed to have the graves dug, to meet the requirements of the times, he deserves the most unreserved censure of the community. The burials have heretofore been made in this Cemetery in such a careless manner as alone to produce pestilence. The tops as the coffins have been sunk no lower than to a level with the sur face of the ground, and then covered over in the manner of potato ridges. In this situation they were subject to be exposed to the washings of heavy rains, and the sun acting on the putrid corpses within, they were liable to swell and burst the coffins, thus tainting the atmosphere with a putrescence sufficient alone to generate a plague. This was the state of things when several persons in the neighborhood, inhaling the rank effluvia, informed the Mayor of the fact, who immediately took active measures foi having the graves covered with eighteen inches of ad ditional eath. Orders have also been issued to the Street Commissioner to send bodies to Pot ter’s Field, or to St. Vincent de Paul, and the gates of the Lafayette Cemetery No. 2 have been closed for the present, except to bodies coming from the Fourth District. The Mayor, we understand, has taken the responsibility of applying remedies to meet the exigencies of the times. The City Council has done nothing commen surate with its power to alleviate the present pressing necessities brought about by the epi demic; but have left all to be done by private charity. This, however, is attributable more to ignorance of their duties on the part of its mem bers, and not to criminal inattention. Too much credit cannot be conceded to the numerous asso ciations which have undertaken the task of alle viating the present distressing state of facts, and to the Mayer who has taken such energetic ac tion in this regard. [ From the N. O. Picayune , 12 th inst.\ From Mexico. By the steamship Texas, Capt. Place, which arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, we have received files of the Eco -el Comercio of that place to the 7fh, and of papers from the city of Mexico to the 3d inst The Texas left at Vera Cruz the bark Gen. Hickley. to sail on the 9th for this port; and the B. R. Ardennes, Capt. Lambert, discharging, with all on board, except the captain, sick with the fever. The Eco was strongly advocating the forma tion of a savings’ bank in Vera Cruz. The principal difficulty, it says, to be apprehended in the way of carrying out the proposition, is that ofthe manner in which the funds ought to be in vested, so that they should not be exposed to the Kt arisks of a speculation, and that the interest pay able on the deposits should be well secured. The same paper publishes a letter Irom Ha m vana, under the date of July 11, giving an ac count of au accident which took place on the previous day, and by which one life was lost and a great number of persons were more or less in jured. A large number of persons had gathered to witness some races about to take place in the Campo Militar, and occupied seats which had been erected by some private speculators. The Captain General was to be present, and as he was entering those assembled pressed forward to see or salute, in doing which those in the higher seats threw too heavy a weight on the frail structure, and were precipitated on to those below, causing fearful alarm, confusion and not a little injury. D. Mannuel Rivero and D. An tonio Rodriguez were in hospital, scarcely ex pected to recover from the wounds they had re ceived, and D. Gabriel Alguacil had died there. The Siglo xjx. ofthe 28th says that the Go vernors of the frontier States have been directed to take the steps necessary to protect Mexicans from {he injuries sustained by the lailure oj the United States to comply with the eleventh arti cle of the treaty of Guadalupe, by which they undeitook to repress Indian incursions. It is also stated that the subject is to be laid before the Cabinet at Washington. Several mercantile failures are announced. Among them those of Arbida & Co., of Zacatecas, for $121,000 ; Valenzuela ft Suarez, of Silao, for SBO,OOO ; Villanueva, of Guadalajara, for $90,000. Others of grat importance, but of which no posi tive announcement is made, are also said to have occurred. A Senor Don Jose Maria Perezy Hernandez has been arrested on a charge of having, in the first place, got into practice as a lawyer at Que retaro on the strength of a forged certificate, and played other pranks, till he finally succeeded in being nominated as .one of the judges and ulti . mately as President of the High Court of Jus tice at Maza^lan. Touching Case of Conjugal Affection.— A touching case, illustrative of conjugal love, occurred at Memphis, Tenn., a few days since. A man and his wife were coming up the river, when the husband took sick and was supposed to have died. When they arrived at that city, the wite ihad a coffin purchased, and her husband was deposited in that last home of the dead. Just before the moment of closing the coffin, however, and the final interment of the deceased, tbe-bereaved and agonized wife insist ed upon once more looking upon and embracing the cold remains of the deceased partner of her bosom. Whether it was her warm embrace or returning conciousness, certain it is that the sup* poseJ Corpse suddenly evinced signs of life, and the proper restoratives being applied, within twenty-tour hours the invalid was enabled to proceed on his journey, with every prospect of a speedy recovery, owing his life to the untiring devotion and love of his true and faithful wife. Signs of the Times. —We notice in some of the whig papers, reports purporting to be from different parts of the State, to the effect that Mr. Jenkins, the Algerine Law Maker, will sweep everything before him. Os course every body knows that these are Buncomb manufac tures, put up to order, with a view to inspire en thusiasm in the ranks of the nameless organiza tion. None of these pretended renorts however, have originated in-this section of the State. It may not be amiss, then, to send up a report from our slighted section. So far as we have been able to learn, Johnson stock is worth one hun dred cents in the dollar, throughout the entire line of the democracy of this region. There is a batch of soft-shells in Snmter, who claim to be democrats, but who prefer to affiliate and associ ate with whigs, who will not vote for Judge Johnson. They are precious good democrats, and would vote for Johnson if he was a whig, and had been nominated by the whig party.— With the exception of these simon pures , we know of no defection in the ranks of any and all who claim to be democrats. But we feel safe in saying that Judge Johnson will not lose ten votes in South-Western Georgia, of those who are no at, or expect hereafter to be identified with the Democratic party. Mr. Jenkins, on the other hand, will get something near a party vote, though his Algerine principles will no doubt choke off many whigs from his support.— Upon the whole, South-western Georgia will give *Oid Hickory’ a splendid old fashioned ma jority. The nomination ot Judge Johnson cre ated an enthusiasm in our ranks far greater than we have ever witnessed en any occasion, of sim ilar character. We of the South, will do our selves honor, and will gladden the hearts of our democratic brethren in the State, in October next. Set us down right side up, and no mis take.— Oglethorpe Democrat , 12 thinst. Dreadful Suffering and Deaths at Sea.— Capt. Young and the only known survivors, ten in number, of the ill-fated barque Argyle, which recently founded on her passage from Bristol to Quebec, arrived at Quebec on the sth inst. She was loaded with iron, as has been before report ed. Capt. Young states that their sufferings have been dreadful They were nine days in one of the ship's boats, drifting about on the ocean, and six of these days were passed with out food or water—during which time seven ot the men in the boat died of exhaustion and hun ger. Os the survivors, two are females—one of whom is an old lady, turned over 50 years of age, who, to add to her sufferings, was doomed to see her son, a fine, strong young man, of 23 years old, die of hunger by her side. The other female is a young woman—and strange to say, both of these females were exposed to the same privations that the men were, and yet they lived through them. There were twenty-five persons on board the Argyle, including three passengers, viz : the young, the old lady and her son ; all of whom betook themselves to two of the ship's boats, one of which has not since been heard of, and it is feared that but two of the twenty-five have been left to tell the sad tale. The telegraphic report of the news from Cali fornia, announced the important event of the marriage of Lola Montez, the public dancer, to a California editor, by the name of Hull. The Calif®rnia papers give us the particulars, which we copy below’. It will be seen that many “ distinguished citizens” of California, besides several ladies,” lent their presence and counte nance to the ceremonies. This is the third hus band of this famous woman—the tw’o former ones being, w r e believe, still alive and well, as is also the ex-king of Bavaria : Married, on the 11th of July, at the Holy Church of Mission Dolores, by the Rev. Father Flavel Fontaine, Curate, Madame Marie Elise i Rosanne Dolores, Countess of Lanesfeldt de j Heald, Baronness of Rosenthal, and Chainoinesse j of the Order of St. Therese, to Patrick Purdy ‘ Hull, Esq., conductor of the San Francisco Whig and Commercial Advertiser of this city. The ceremonies were performed in strict con formity with the rules of the Mother Church, but rendered peculiarly impressive by their pure simplicity. The distinguished bride, on ap proaching the sacred altar, deposited at the feet of the Virgin, with appropriate demonstrations of devotion, a beautitul offering. There w’ere present to assist the solemnities, besides sevcal ladies, the Hon. Beverly C. Sanders, late Collec tor of the port of San Francisco, Hon. Wm. C. Hoff, James E. Wainwright, Esq., Clerk of the county, A. Bartol, Esq, ex-Presidant < f the Board of Assistant Aldermen of the city, H. M. Gray, M. D.,ex-President of Board of Aldermen, His Honor Alex. Wells. Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California, Alex. G. Abeil, late Consul ol the United States for the Sandwich Islands, Louis R. Hull, Esq., Asso ciate Editor of the San Francisco Whig, Robert B. Hampton, Esq., P. A. Brinsmade.Esq , J. Ben son, Esq., James Grant, Esq., late Alderman, and H. J. Clayton, Esq. The marriage certificate was duly attested by James E. Wafnwright, Esq , in his magisterial quality of Cleric of the County. After the ceremonies, the bridal party was hospitably entertained by the Curate, at his apartments adjoining the Church. After the rerurn ol the party to the city, the happy pair were waited upon at their residence, in ti e house of Mrs. Gates, by some of the most distinguished of our citizens, among whom were I Hon. John B. Weller, of the United States Sen ate, His Honor George W. Baker, City Record er, Gregory Yale, Esq., Honorable Judge Par sons. The California ppers inform us also , that the citizens of Sacramnto received Mr. and Mrs. Hull with a serenade of tin horns, pans, pots, gongs, &c., and other like demonstrations of re spect. The marriage of Mad. Lola does not in terfere, it seems, with her pub lie performances. She danced before the iiremeu of San Francisco on the night ot the 11th July, and afterwards made a speech to them from her window. At the conclusion ot the speech, her husband invi ted the firemen “ to step in the bar-room below’, and take a drink at his expense,” w hich they did. The Late Col. Bliss. —General Twiggs, on the occasion of the decease of Col. Bliss, issued the iollowing general orders : Headquarters Western Division, ) East Pascagoula, August 5,1853. ( [Orders No. 13.] The Major General with deep regret, announces to the Division the death of Lieut. Col. W. W. S. Bliss, Assistant Adjutant General, late. Chief of the Staff ot'Mthe Division Staff, and formerly the Chief of the Staff of the Army ol Occupation in its arduous -and memora ble campaign under Major General - Taylor. On the night of the 4th inst. he died, a victim to the prevailing deadly epidemic. ') A nairative of the brilliant sftvices of this la mented officer, would be superfluous here. They are familiar as household words to his comrades of the army, often on the lips of his fellow-citizens, and graven on the records of eventful periods of bis country’s history. In many official writings are preserved the eviden ces of a mind powerlul, acute and adorned with taste and learning. Os blameless t; orals, upright and affectionate in private life, he has, in zeal and devotion to public duty, left an example still more worthy ol emulation than the brilliancy of his fams. His enlightened exactnese and attention, in even the smallest duties of life, could only be equalled i n merit by the modesty and temperance w’hich he displayed on the noon-day of reputation and at the heig ht of success. By order of Major Gen. Twiggs : - W. Lav, A. A. A: G. Rain. Our city was visited yesterday with a very heavy fall ot rain. It commenced at 12 and continued until 2 o’clock. learn from Dr. Posey, the Meteorologist 0 4 this city for the Smithsonian Institute, that the quantity 0 f rain which fell during that time, measured 2 inches 645-1000. In that part of near the Baptist Church, the watOr was very deep and that street from the Gus.rd House to Liberty street, was covered with water.— Savannah. News, 1 5th inst. V erdict. —We stated in the News of Satur day, that Max Andre had died from the effects of the wounds which he received about a week since. Co r oner Eden held an inquest on his body on Saturday, and the jury returned a ver dict “ that the deceased came to his death by wounds inflicted on the back, below the ribs, near the right side of the spine, inflicted with some sharp instrument, but by what means is unknown to the jury.”— lb. AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY MOANING FOR GOVERNOR, HON. HERSCHEt V. JOHNSON. ’ Os Baldwin County. Mr. Webster and Freesoilism. We cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of pre senting, for the information of the Webster press throughout the State, the following brief and authentic history of the freesoil party, to which their studious attention is very earnestly in vited. It has ever been deemed requisite for those who set themselves up as critics and in structors, to be well informed on those subjects on which they essay to enlighten others. This rule is as operative and essential in politics as in other themes of discussion. The very glaring inconsistency of those who are now attempting to render the present administration unpopular, on account of what they term its freesoil ap pointments, arises from the fact that the rule above alluded to has been entirely overlooked. Theii course cannot rationally be accounted for on any other ground, except that of pure and factious opposition. They are evidently labor ing under the impression, and wish the public so to’believe, that they have very recently discov ered a distinct and separate class of people at the North, who are freesoilers—wrtho have never been heard or known of before, and who, if Mr. Webster had been nominated instead of General Scott, and Mr. Webster had been elected Presi dent of the United States instead of General Pierce, would # never have sprung up to give them or the country any trouble or uneasiness whatever. But for this unfortunate mistake on the part ot the people in the choice qf their President, there never would have been any cause of com plaint on account of these people or any thing else connected with the management of the government. This being the case, however, the responsibility of every thing that is done—the appointments to office, the protection of South ern rights, the salvation of the Union—are all assumed by those who have not been particular ly invited to attend to such matters. We repeat, therefore, that all the fuss and un easiness which these Webster leaders and Web ster presses are making about General Pierce’s Northern appointments must arise from the reason heretofore assigned, viz: their want of knowledge as to what Mr. Webster taught and believed. Surely, otherwise the disciple would not oppose his master. Their entire willingness to consecrate themselves to his service and to learn of him—the eager and impetuous manner in which they broke through all the restraints | of party discipline, in order to exalt him and to es'ablisli his opinions in preference to one who ■ was born and bred under a Southern sun— strengthens the conclusion that they are entirely ignorant of what were his peculiar freesoil views and sentiments, and would not consequently by their course be “ engaged in their unhallowed en deavors to blacken his memory.” They would remember that “ he still lives,” and that in their i blind desire to injure another, they would be taking issue with one whom they sustained for President. The suggestion of such an alterna tive would be very “ humiliating” to those who wished to redeem the State by preventing Gen. Scott’s election. In thus presenting the history of the freesoil party and Mr. Webster’s views bearing on this subject, as furnished by himself, to these presses, we are not unmindful of one of two effects that will certainly ensue from it. Either they will desist from their assaults on the administration, through respect and deference to what Mr. Web ster has said, or they will become more furious | and desperate on account of the truth. These “narrow-minded politicians in Georgia” and some editors, wiir become more enlarged in their I views, less sectional, less arbitrary, less exciting, | less disposed to inflame the minds of the people against their government without a cause, more disposed to encourage peace and friendly rela tions towards both portions of the Union, to write wholesome editorials, and make sensible speeches that will encourage the people to stretch forth their powers and energies to develope the yet unknown resources of the States to edu cate the children,to build school houses and rail roads, and to read and disseminate the Southern Cultivator. On the other hand, if these good effects are not produced, they will call to mind what Mr. Webster said: “Uhatthe Buffalo platform con tains nothing in relation to this matter which does not meet with the approbation, and the un qualified approbation, of the Whigs of the Northern States,” and with renewed spirit will attempt to avenge themselves on Gen. Pierce, for having, perhaps, appointed to office some of the very men who have stolen the freesoil sen timents from the Whigs. If this is their pur pose, a full head of “ enthusiasm” is already manufactured at hand by Mr. Webster in his speech of 1848, and which will have more effect than fifty speeches delivered by Richard Y. Yeadon, Esq. “ A party has arisen among us. calling itself the Free Soil party. The assumption ot such a name by this party reminds me of a joke made by Swift, or some other humorist, on a person who had made not a very tasteful use of a Latin phra-e Dulce et natale saurn. Fine words; I wonder where he stole ’em. “ Really the exclusive appropriation ot the name of Free Soil by this party, was a very bold proceeding. They have certainly stolen the sentiment from the Whigs ■ it was a clear case of petit larceny. Are these men better lovers of lib erty than we are* No! Wc are as good lib erty men and anti-slavery men as they profess to be themselves. “ But what is the history of this so called Free Free Soil party ? Why, just this. Some years ago a schism broke out in the Democratic party of Nerv York. This widened by degress, and at length Mr. Van Buren put himself at the head of the smaller portion. When Silas Wright was nominated a second time for Governor of New York, the two parties had become very hostile to each other, and assumed the rival names of Hunkers and Barburners,which appellation they continue to wear to thi» day. It appears there from, that the schism in the Democratic party is of rather long standing. There was an actual outbreak years ago among them, and all this be fore any other question of Free Soil rose in that quarter, and before the Wilmot Proviso or any opposition to slavery as a party principle. Down to the period of the annexation of Texas, all the Democratic party followed the party doc trines, and went for the annexation, .slavery ex tension and all. The opposition to this measure proceeded, in the first instance, solely from the Whigs. I say, the Whigs alone, for it is notori ous that nobody else, either in the East, West, North or South, raised a finger against it. If such an effort was made,it was so inconsiderable that it attracted no notice till, by the efforts of the Whigs, the people were aroused to a sense of their danger, and a feeling of opposition to the extension of slave power. Then , and not till then, the Barnburners seized upon this branch of Whig doctrine and attached it to their policy, merely to give them a certain predominancy over their rivals. “Oiiginally, therefore, the Barnburners had no more to do with the doctrine of Free Soil than with the question of masonry or anti-ma- , sonry. They only adopted it to secure an ad van age over the Hunkers. But, having appro priated this just sentiment, though, still retain ing all the rest.of thirty.nine articles of the Lo cofoco creed, they now call upon the Whigs of Massachusetts to enlist under them !-I had al- most said to be subsidized by them, only to give them the ascendency in New Yurk politics?— For one. I propose to do no such thing. I do not like the service. ‘‘ I repeat, that this Buffalo Platform, this col lect ot the Barnburners, contains no new thing that is good ; it has nothing new which the Whigs of the Middle and Northern States might not adopt. But it is going too far for that party to ask the Whigs of Massachusetts to carry that matter in to their State election.” We well know gentlemen, that the Buffalo platform contains nothing in relation to this matter which does not meet the approbation , and the un qualified approbation , of the Whigs of the Northern States.” O ar State Fair. The Committee who have in charge the ar rangements for the next annual Fair, have been at work, and have all their contracts made for the necessary buildings, &c. The Lafayette Course has been selected, and a more appropriate spot of ground cannot be found in the State. The best of Premiums offered by the Society, will induce competition,and we look for a large attendance. In addition to the premiums offered by the Com mittee, it wil> be seen by this morning’s paper? that our spirited Warehousemen have made up four different premiums for Cotton, viz: For five best bales of Upland, a Silver Cup SIOO “ “ second best 75 “ “ third “ So “ best 3 bales Jethro Cotton 50 These are liberal offers, and the small planter has as good a showing as the large. Public Meeting. We are requested to state that C. W. Young, Esq., the Independent Candidate to represent the Bth district in this State, in the next Con gress, will address the citizens of Augusta, on Saturday evening next, at the City Hall. Whigs and Democrats, Scott men and Webster and Jenkins men, are requested to attend. We are pleased to learn, and so will his numerous friends, that Professor A. G. Longstreet arrived in our city yesterday, in good health and his usual flow of spirits. Southwestern Railroad Extension. —The Savannah Georgian, ot the 14th instant, says : At a meeting of the Directors of the Southwest ern Railroad, held at Macon, on the 11th inst., it was voted unanimously to extend the road the distance of about thirty-five miles beyond Americus, provided planters and others along the line of the proposed extension will furnish two-fifths of the estimated cost of the work. Two-fifths will be $225,000, according to the estimates. The extension will be in a rigbt line through the 12th district of Lee, and the 4th of Randolph, into the 3d of Baker county, striking the boundary of the latter at a point nearly mid-way between Albany and Fort Gains. The survey is to be made immediately. I We are informed that there is not the slightest I doubt that the planters will subscribe the amount required of them. It is of course known to our readers that the road from Oglethorpe to Ame'icus has been for months under contract—the work in a state of vigorous prosecution. When the extension now’ contemplated is completed, it can hardly be doubted that Savannah will command all the cotton grown in the highly productive region embraced between the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. The crop of that section, already large will be greatly augmented under the stimulating influences of increased facilities for reaching the markets of the world. Speed. —lt is stated that the most rapid speed ever attained by a steamer, has been accom plished by a North River steamer, called the Alida, which recently made the trip from New York to Poughkeepsie, 82 miles, Within three hours and ten minutes. This is faster than any trotting horse, being at the rate of a mile in 2m. 19s.—a speed equal to 620 miles per day, of 24 hours, and last enough to take a steamer across the Atlantic within less than five days. Masonic Movement. —A Masonic Lodge in Michigan has passed resolutions calling upon the Masonic Lodge? throughout the country to unite ! in raising a fund for the purchase of Mount i Vernon, in order to save it from anticipated de -1 gradation. The jury of inquest over the killed by the recent collision on the Camden and Amboy Railroad have returned a verdict, in which they j affirm that: The collision was caused.by gross negligence on the part of John Anderson, engine driver of the train irom South Amboy, in running said train at unusual speed by the station and around the curve at Old Bridge. The jury also find that Edward Muschamp, conductor of the train from South Amboy, is highly censurable for omitting to compare his watch, and that of the engine driver, with the standard clock of the Camden and Amboy .Railroad Company in New lork, on the day of their collision, agreeably to instructions expressly given by said Company. lhe jury exonerate the said Company from any censure in regard to said collision. The jury further think that if the orders of said Com pany had been obeyed, the collision would not have taken place. The jury exonerate the agents and officers of the train from Philadelphia from any censure.’’ T. he jury consisted of twenty-one persons, of whom fifteen signed the verdict. The others refused to assent to it, on the ground that the Directors of the Company were not free from blame, and that they had not done all that was proper or in their power to secure the safety of trains in passing the point where the collision occurred. The wounded are all doing well, with the ex ception of the son of Mr. Martin, of Baltimore, whose recovery is still considered doubtful. The Re\. Mr. Purviance and lady have both nearly recovered from the bruises they received. Their son, whose leg was broken, was also doing well. The Post Office Department have recently decided that under the law of 1852, a subscriber residing in the county in which a paper may be printed and published, is entitled to receive it ] through the mails free of postage from the post* office within the delivery of which he may re side, even though that office may be situated without the limits of the county aforeseid. The O Donohoe and Trainor duel case has been discharged, the accuser declining to prose cute. Both of the gentlemen appeared in court, and having shaken hands, became friends again, The New York Day Book, of the Bth inst., says: “Swain, of the Philadelphia Ledger, is negotiating for the New York Herald. Last Friday he offered $400,000 cash for the whole concern, Hudson and all, or $70,000 per annum in perpetuo. Neither proposition has been de finitely accepted. The WashingtonJßepublic says; “ The Secre tary of the Navy, we have reason to believe, wilf, in his first report, urge strenuously on Congress the importance of adding to the works of the service suitable facilities for the construction and repairing of most of the machinery required for the steam naval service of the United States, in which they are now entirely deficient, to the great injury of the Government’s interests. At present nearly all such work is done under the lowest bid; which results in having improper and nefficient machinery, time and time again palm jed upon them despite the rigid inspection under which all such work is received.” A. New Orleans dispatch to the New York Commercial Advertiser says i “ The Howard Association have taken nearly two thousand in charge during the last three weeks, while in 1837, they had only one thousand two hundred and fifty-two in charge during twelve weeks. They will have five thousand interments to ef fect before the fever subsides, at a cost of ten dollars each.” Major Malory, a soldier of the revolution, died at Lockport, August Bth. He enlisted in the service of the American army at an early stage of the revolutionary war, and served under Washington in several important engagements. On the breaking out of the war in 1812 with Great Britain, he again re-entered the «ervice, and fought in all the battles of the frontier under Gen. Scott. He carried to his grave wounds re ceived at the battle of Chippewa. The captain of the schooner Arunnah, from the Bay of Chaleur, arrived at Kennebunk, Maine? reports that on the 28th of July he was run into by the British steamer Devastation near St. John Island, sustaining considerable damage. He has entered a protest, and will make a statement of his case. The U. S. sloop of war Decatur had boarded several American fishing vessels in the Gulf, and informed them of the presence of the squadron. The steamer Princeton arrived at Halifax on the 6th, and was received with the usual salute by the British flag ship Cumberland. An American fishing schooner was seized by the Devastation, and tauen into Prince Edward’s Island, but was afterwards released. Chinese Language. —Who would haVe thought six years ago that the laws of one of the States of the Union would have to be published in English and Chinese for general circulation ? Yet so jt is. The ninth section of an act passed by the California Legislature, for the collection of the foreign miners’tax, has been printed in the Chinese language, for the information of more than thirty thousand Chinese in the new State. Tong’k Achich, a Chinaman, certifies that the translation is “ faithful an! good.” Don Calderon de la Barca. —The New York Express says: “Xh e Secretary of State of the Spanish Government, or Minister of Foreign * Affairs, and the Minister from Spain to the U. States, (Don Calderon de la Barca,) will sail in the Washington on Saturday for Southampton, and from the nee take passage to Spain, to enter upon the responsible duties of his new office. It is not true that a successor has been appointed by the Spanish Governmeni to represent the court of Madrid at Washington ; and the late Minister will probably have the pleasure of se lecting his successor. M. Calderon and M. Soule will Le the chief negotiators at Madrid in all that appertains to this country. They are old acquaintances, if not old friends—both very courteous in their way, but neither inclined to surrender a point of etiquette or interest belong ing to their respective countries. It was option al w’ith the Spanish Minister to return to Spain in the enjoyment of the first office in the gift of the Queen, or to remain here as the Spanish am bassador. The offer ofp'omotion, however, from the Spanish Government is usually considered as a royal command, and for slight causes cannot be declined. In this case, we are glad it has been accepted ; for while M.

The papers do not give the cash receipts for admission as heretofore. The Plymouth Rock hits off the Boston At las in the following humorous style : “The Bos ton Atlas, a paper which was the ardent advo cate for the election of Gen. Scott, and which has always been closely allied with Wm. H. Seward and Horace Greeley, who boldly spit upon the Baltimore platform, is in great tribula tion lest Gen. Pierce’s appointments would not be sufficiently national in their character. In desd, so sensitive has the revered editor become upon this point, that it forms the principal topic for discussion in that exceedingly national paper and almost daily it has a half column or so upon the subject. Now, were it not that he is a pious man, and used to preach for al living, we should actually think that Parson Hudson was inconso lable at the loss of that truly national office kept by the naval officer at Boston.

Affairs in EußorF..— lt was feared that the Emperor of Russia would not withdraw the troops from the Principalities, in which case the allied fleets would pass the Dardanelles. A despatch from Constantinople, dated the 20th ult., states that the Porte and the great powers of Europe had agreed to the proposition of Austria that the fleets be withdrawn and the Principalities evacuated simultaneously. The London and Paris funds, however, had declined in consequence of a statement that had been made in the Paris Constitutionel, to the effect that England and France would not agree to this arrangement. It was reported that the Czar of Russia had or dered fresh levies of troops to be made. Moldavia had declared itself independent, and refused to pay tribute to the Porte. A similar movement was anticipated in Wallachia. It was asserted that the Porte was about to is sue an ultimatum stating that if the Czar were not satisfied with the assurances of the Sultan, and persisted in offering war, Turkey would ac cept it. The Hospadars in the Principalities had been ordered to retire to the right bank of the Danube. The Egyptian fleet arrived at Constantinople on the 19th ult., with 12,000 troops. It is rumored that a secret treaty had been made between Turkey and the United States, by which the latter promises to assist the former. Russia has demanded ofJPersia the cession of the province oi Tauris in lieu of a debt of 85,- 000,000 roubles.

Their election hy a triumphant vote, is,a ‘fixed fact.’ ‘Manifest destiny’ may be seen ‘sticking out a feet in that nomination.

I submit the following as aa s instanco of the utility otvour great medicine. My child, three years old, was suddenly attacked with a terrible disease, which in "Jess than six hours prostrated it to total helplessness. The limbs became so rigid that not a joint could bo bent: the flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived (A I feeling: the eyes fixed, partially closed and alto- fl ■ gether blind, following this was deafness to all 1 sounds; the spine became contracted and so curved S that when lying on his hack the head and the heels 1 only touched. Indeed, the child presented every .;JH appearance of being dead. Immediately on the • attack, the family physician was called in, and for / % three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling, but | all in vain, although it was blistered a dozen times M and various rubefacient Liniments applied. A consultation of physicians was then held, but to no purpose, the case was then brought before the Medi cal Society, but nothing could be suggested which had not already been done, and the doctor then told me he could do nothing more. We then commen ced applying your Liniment freely over tho entire length of the spine, and you may imagine a pa rent’s joy, when, after a few applications, returning animation was apparent and it rapidly recovered withthe exception of the sight, which did notbe- j come perfect for near a month. The child is now healthy and robust as can be. five -|j* other cases of same kind oecurrod previously in my i wt • neighborhood, all of which died, when there is no doubt if your Liniment had been they wouldused have recovered.
