[ From the Charleston Cou ricr.
Lines suggested by the Mortality in New Orleans.
BY NINA.
Moerning is within thy gloomy walls,
Proud “ Crescent City” of the fertile West;
And sorrow hath dominion in thy halls,
With wan Disease, her pallid, hideous guest.
Ne festive sounds are heard in the sad nights—
Jlo merry laugi, no mirthful song, no dance—
No flashing lamp to cheer the gloom—no lights,
' Save those which round the sufferer’s doath-bed
glance.
O ! stricken city! deep and dark the curso
Os pestilence has fallen, and the doom
Os thousands, fills the rattling funeral hearse,
W ith fearful numbers for the sated tomb, —
Still widely sweeps Death’s keen aDd fatal scythe,
And still the victims fall beneath its blade;
Yet Death unsatisfied exacts his tythe,
And reaps his loathsome harvest undismay'd.
Infection floats on every passing breeao,
And Fever’s hot breath fills the heavy air ;
The wretched cottage, and the home ot ease,
Alike are stricken—Death is everywhere.
Days come and go, and still they bring no change
No pause in his headlong and fierce career
All sounds, save those of mourning, now seem
strange,
Mingled with shrieks of agony and fear
Thus plague and pestilence once darkly hung
O’er Egypt, in the early days of yore,
And sorrow's fear wet robes around it clung,
For dear ones vanished, to return no more :
Yet penitence brought mercy from above,
And “ Isreal’s God” received the prayer
Which burst from breaking hearts, a wailing cry
Borne upwards on the trembling winds of air.
Then think not that thy Father’s God,
Will heedless turn from prayer of thine,
But lowly bend and kiss the chastening rod,
And to his mercy all thy woes resign ;
High in thy stricken horn 1 s thy altars rear,
Let humble prayer like incense pure, arise ;
His pity will incline a gracious ear,
His pardon wipe the tear drops from thine eyes.
Charleston, 6. C. Sept. 9th, 1853.
Unionisms.
‘‘Mr. Webster is pledged to sustain opposition
to the admission of new States ‘because of the
existence of Slavery therein.’ Hence Union
men cannot consistently fall back upon the above
resolution and vote lor Mr. Webster.”—Consti
tutional Union Sept. 2, 1852.
If Mr. Jenkins did not vote for Webster, he
ran as Vice President on the same ticket with
him. Mr. Jenkins was then, in the judgment
of the Editor of the Constitutional Union , an in
consistent Union man. What shall be said of the
inconsistency of the editor of the Union, in sup
porting and voting for one who was thus incon
sistent, according to his own standard of consis
tency ?
“Now what is there to distinguish the Union
party of 1851 from the National democratic party
of 1853.” The Union party stood upon the
Compromise question—there stands the demo
cratic party as plainly as deeply committed.”—
Constitutional Union , March 10, 1553.
This was written and publishd by the editor
of the above named paper last March—six months
ago. Where is he now ? Opposing the demo
cratic party, which, a little waile ago, he could
not distinguish from the Union party of 1851.
“Southern Rights presents not a single issue to
National and States right men, nor have we a
Cheves, or a McDonald, or a Quitman, who does
not stand llatly, bolt, upright, upon the Georgia
Platform. To organize a party vjlien there is noth
ing to oppose the purposes of its organization , is
next to impossible under our political institu
tions. A basis must be found differing from
some other organized basis—principles must be
advanced and opposed, or the people will not take
sides when there is no controversy, and nothing
involved but the interest of the spoilsmen.”—Con
stitutional Union , March - 10,1853.
This too bears date of March 10th, 1853, six
months ago. And yet we find the editor who pen
ned it enlisted in the vain effort to sustain just
such a party organization as he pronounced im
possible. unless he considers his present party the
Whig partv. Whichever it may be, what are
they after but “the interests of the spoilsmen ?”
“Upon all questions of administrative policy,
there is scarcely a shadow of difference between
the whig and democratic platforms. Upon all
questions ot Constitutional law, Southern Whigs
are thoroughly committed to the positions of Gen.
Pierce, and upon questions of foreign policy that
able journal, the National Intelligencer, has giv
en its unqualified approbation of the opinions of
the President. How then can a party be organiz
ed in opposition to the administration ? There
must be something else beside an itching for the
spoils , or unfounded and irrational prejudices upon
which to build up a great national party.—Con
stitutional Union. May 19, 1853.
The above was wiitten by the editor of the
constitutional Union, less than four months ago.
Yet we find him now in a party organized in op
position to the administration —Which will he
plead guilty to "the itching for the spoils” or “un
founded and irrational prejudices ?”
When Gen. Pierce was nominated, we united
with a number of S. R. men and presses, in en
treating a re-organization at once, of his friends
in Georgia, upon the Baltimore Democratic Plat
form. — Constitutional Union. Feb. 10, 1853.
The Spirit of Re-union. —The Federal Union,
Savannah Georgian and Macon Telegraph urge
a re-union of the democracy of Georgia on the
Baltimore democratic platform—leaving the doc
trine of secession as an abstract question and not
a test of democracy. This is all that the Union
whigs asked last fall and all that they now de-
HRML mand. — Constitutional Union, Feb. 10, 1853.
■Hji The Demacracy ot Georgia have re-united on
the Baltimore democratic platform, “leaving the
doctrine of secession as an abstract question and
not a test of democracy.”
Yet where is the editor of the Constitutional
Union? At war with the democratic party,
abusing the democratic administration, suppor
ting a Webster candidate for Governor who de
nounces President Pierce and sneers at the de
mocratic party. The editor will not deny that
he has changed. What reason does he give for
his change ? None that would clear him of in
consistency of the grossest character in the judg
ment of any reasonable man.— Marietta Advo
cate.
Boston, Sept. 10. — More Robberies of Rail
road Freight. —A large quantity of stolen goods
was dis covered last night at Concord, N. H.,
conssisting of boots, shoes, leather, clothing,
cloths, hardware, hollow-ware, fancy goods, &c.
Some of the goods have been recognized as hav.
ing been stolen from some of the stores in that
vicinity, but the greater part from the various
cars, railroad depots, &c. They were found at
the house of Justice Squires, who fled before he
could be arrested. Squires was oardoned out of
the State prison about four years ago. It is es
timated that $50,000 worth of goods have been
gtolen at various times by Squires and his gang.
Cincinnati, Sept. 9. —Attempt to Kidnap —
Shooting Affair. —A hack man named Greene,
and a city watchman named Bloom, were held
to bail to-day in SI,OOO, for ai resting and at
tempting to kidnap Watkins, a free mulatto.
Tbty were conveying him in a carriage last
night, and had nearly reached tber river, when
their progress was arrested by a mob.
. Jjft- Monument to an Honest Boy.—Nathan
M' C. Ely, of New York city, has contributed $lO
towards the erection of a monument to the little
Norwegian boy, named Iverson, who was pitch
ed into the lake and drowned bv two of his as
sociates, at Chicago, because he would not go
into a garden and steal fruit for them. A Chicago
citizen also contributes $5, and the Democratic
Press appeals to the Sundry Schools to take up
contributions for this purpose. Accounts ot the
cause ot the little fellow’s death were circulated
among the Sunday School classes in Chicago,
that they might learn of one who had so beauti
fully illustrated the principles of Christianity.

The Dix Letter.
As we expected, the letter of the Hon. J. A.
Dix, defining his position on the slavery ques
tion, is like a bumb-shell thrown into the ene
my’s camp.
This exposure of the falsehoods published by
whig prints and uttered by whig ora tors,also their
hypocricy, has’eaused the editor ot the Chroni
cle to make an unwarantable, not to say an un
gentlemanly attack on the gentleman to whom
Mr. Dix’s letter was addressed. Bur the writer
of that letter need give himself no uneasiness
about what the Chronicle says. The water must
be muddied before the cuttle fish can make his
escape, when attacked.
The gentleman who wrote to Mr. Dix stands
too high, where known, to receive injury from
the malicious shatts of the Chronicle. To those
who are not acquainted with him personally,we
: will state, that he is a native of Richmond coun
-1 ty, the ex-Mayor of our City, ex-Judge of the
u Inferior Court, Professor in our Medical Col
. lege—in short, a man of unblemished reputation,
• and ol superior talents and acquirements; in in
dependent circumstances, and no office seeker.
Whig editors are compelled to notice this let
er, so that they may make comments by which
they s f ill hope to gull their readers into the be
lief that Mr. Dix is still an abolitionist and free
soiler. But like the Stork and the Eel, when
they have swallowrd it and think it out of
sight, on turning round they still behold it sta
ring them in the face. One washing in Whig
waters, purifies such men as Fillmore, Webster,
and a host ot other leading compromise, aboli
tion, freesoil Whigs ; but seven washings nor
seventy times seven, will not purify a Demo
crat. Do you know the reason why this differ
ence ? We will tell you readeref. Bore Demo
i crats begin to dip, the patient is so purified and
clean, that if he were dipped seven hundred and
seventy times, he would not soil the pure water.
On the other hand, take such Abolitionists and
Freesoilers as Fillmore and Webster, and Cor
win ; so black were they when immersed, that
when they come out, the slightest shade of im
provement in their appearance—the least removal
of the dark coloring always worn by them, looks
like purification—but the water, aye, the pure
Southern W hig water in which they were dip
ped, receives the excrescence, and becomes dark
and loathsome. Fillmore, Webster and Corwin
may become pure from one dip, but the water
, never can be purified.
This letter we are glad to see has created quite
a fluttering in the Whig tanks. Some seem to
insinuate that it is got up to effect the pre
sent election—some that it is a Roorbach—while
others wish to see the original letter which called
it into existence.
The Chronicle of yesterday devoted nearly a
column to it—(which by the bye is an astonish
ing fete for that paper), and the Savannah Re
publican ot the 12th, nearly the same space. It
is a bitter pill gentlemen, but you must swallow
it—if you cannot keep it down, we cannot help
it—you must try it again.
The Championship of the State Road.
The “ Republican Citizens ” Party have to sub
mit to another check to their arrogrant claims to
all the henors for their great men. of having ori
ginated the scheme arid accomplished the con
struction of the great State Railroad.
It is too often the fate of unaspiring, patriotic
and hard-working citizens, to be pushed in the
back ground after they had achieved important
services for the public, while showy and oratori
cal leaders rise up to appropriate and weave into
l their own chaplets, the wreath those toilsjhave
justly won. The modesty of true merit often
shrinks quietly back from a scramble for the
honors and rewards a grateful public stands rea
dy to bestow. The real benefactor of the people
■ often finds his highest enjoyment *in the pure
f feeling of self-approval, and reaps his reward in
. beholding the substantial benefits t o his fellow
. citizens his patriotic labors have realized.
Such seerr.3 to have been the case with Col.
M. J. Camden, of Cherokee, for whom a eorres
. pondent ol the Marietta Advocate claims the
i championship of the Western & Atlantic Rail
» road. We submit the following article, signed
1 “ Justice to an impartial public, not doubting
their fair and intelligent decision. It is a claim
put forth at an awkward time for the Republican
Citizens’ Party, who have been .badly whipped
in every political issue *they have raised, and
' have not a leg left to stand upon in national po
litics. Their last hope has been to grab all the
honors derivable from the history of our State
. legislation, and appropriate them to their own
, exclusive use during the present canvass. But
* even in this they will be foiled at all points.
The testimony of the late Gen. Thomas Glas
i cock to the labors of Col. Camden, in favor of
i the State Road, will have more credit with the
people than all the flourishing puffs the Whig
newspapers are bestowing upon their candidates.
No man better knew, than that lamented and
powerful popular leader, whose influence and la
bors achieved most for the Road in our State Le
, gislature. The 4 testimony on this subject was
i corroborated, it appears, by the voters of Cher
okee county, for Col. Camden, like many far
| seeing patriots before him,was temporarily made
I a martyr to his good works.
, We are pleased to learn that his fellow citi
cens are anxious to make the amende honorable
by returning him to the scene of his former la
bors in therr service.
[From the Marietta Advocate .]
Col, M. J. Camden.
Mr. Editor :—I see in some of the last papers
that the credit of securing the building of the
State Railroad is claimed lor Mr. Jenkins by his
friends, and for Mr. Bartow by his friends. !
Since the enterprise has proved so successful,
and the road is found to be so great a benefit to ,
the people of Georgia, and particularly to the ;
people of the Cherokee country, any man
may well be proud to be able to say that he act
ed a useful part in building the road. Probably
no man in Georgia is entitled te more credit in
this particular, tban the gentleman whose name
I have placed at the head of this communica
tion.
Col. Camden was in the Senate from Chero
kee county for three years during the most exci
ting and critical period of the struggle. He took !
a bold position in favor ot the road. He had !
lived many years in Tennessee, and after coming •
to Georgia had travelled much over the Cherokee j
country. He was therefore probably better ac- j
quainted with the route for the entire length of j
the road than any man then in the Legislature, j
Railroads were then but little known, and many
members of the Legislature doubted the practi
cability of the route, and as the appropriation
must be a heavy one, and the loss to the State
very great, if the enterprise should prove a fail
ure on account of the route not being practicable,
many members were disposed on this grouiad to
vote against the bill. Col. Camden worked
night and day to remove those doubts, and caused
several Senators to vote for the bill who, know
ing his acquaintance with the entire route, did
so on his personal assurance of its practicability.
It is true there were eloquent speeches made by
other able men in the Legislature, which had
their influence. But it is a well known fact,
that there are usually two classes of men of in
fluence in a legislative body. One class are the
speaking members, who make most display, and
are apt to be most noted in the newspapers, and
to claim to themselves the credit of carrying
every important measure. The other class is
composed of working members, who make but
little public display, and yet every person at all j
acquainted with legislation knows that it is im
possible for the speaking members to carry any
great measure without the aid of those business,
working members. Indeed, they usually do most
that is done. To this latter class, belonged Col.
Camden. That able advocate ot the Railroad,
General Thomas Glascock, before his death, said :
to a gentleman in Canton, “ You are under more '
obligation to Col. Camden for the State Road j
than to any other man in Georgia; but for his !
active,efficient stand in its favor, the measure •
would certainly have been defeated.” For this
very activity in securing the Road, Col. Camden
was denounced and put down in his own coun
ty. The people were misled, or such would r.ot
have been the result. They have long since
Seen it, and have been anxious to testify their
approbation of his course by bestowing upon
Col. Camden any office within their gift. Nat
urally modest and retiring, he has constantly re
fused to be a candidate. When the last demo
cratic convention for the county met, Col. Cam
den was absent from the State on a visit to some
afflicted friends, and, without his knowledge or
consent, he was unanimously nominated for the
Senate. On his return, at the earnest solicita
tion of his numerous friends, he yielded his per
sonal wishes, and consented to become a candi
date. It is believed that the people will return
him to the Senate by a larger majority than any
man has ever got in the county. The people
w’ill vote for him it is believed without respect
to party. They recollect that some years since
they paid $2 50 to $3 00 per bushel for salt, and
for other groceries aud necessaries in proportion.
The reason was, we had no Railroad, and these
heavy articles were to haul so far on wagons
that they were very high. Now we get salt at
75 cents to one dollar per bushel, and other ne
cessaries in proportion. The reason is, we have
a Railroad to bring them almost to our doors.
And we have a Railroad to carry off our produce
to market, and are enabled to realize much bet
ter prices for it than we formerly could—while
the price of our land is greatly increased, and j
our country every way benefitted. Strike out
our Railroad, and you take from our county
most of the advantages and comforts which we
now possess.
In making the above statement in reference 1
to Col. Camden, I feel confident that every can- j
did man will bear me witness that I have done
but a simple act of Justice.
The Algerine Law.
ll Justitia ” made her appearance again in the 1
Chronicle of yesteiday, i u support of the Alge- [
line Law. Any one perusing her article, how-!
ever, can see at a glance, that from her position, |
she cannot put a true value on the elective fran- j
chise. It is true, as she says, that we have a j
Senate aud a Governor to watch over our inter
ests, as well as a House of Representatives, and
that the Governor, like the Board of Aldermen, !
I
can veto what he pleases. But the difference
consist in this—every free white man of the
age of 21, who has paid his lawful taxes,can vote
for Representatives, Senator and Governor—but
for Aldermen, he mus* own SIOOO real estate or
pay $25 taxes. But, hello olwe are getting into
a scrape. We must beg Miss Justitia’s pardon,
we are only editor pro tem. The real Simon
pure is absent. We will forward her communi
cation, and she must therefore excuse us for
turning her over to the editor.
Mistake in a Name.— The name of Philip
McGran a worthy and esteemed citizen of Augus
ta, now deceased, appears in the list of the signers
, of the petition for the Algerine Law, as publish
ed in the newspapers. It is published in italics,
he having been a Democrat while in life. He
did not sign the petition. The name should be
Philip McCan, a very worthy Whig of this city.
Grand Lodge of the United States, I. O.
O. F.—We have received the report of James L.
Ridgely, Esq., Grand Secretary of the Grand
Lodge of United States, I. O. O. F.. from which
it appears that there has been paid into the
Treasury since Sept. 22, 1852, tho sum of ten
thousand twenty-nine dollars and twenty-seven
cents. The further sun of three hundred and
sixty-two dollars and eighty-six cents, for ac
count of “ Honolulu Hall Fund,” has been re
ceived, but is only applicable that that object.—
The former sum, $10,029 27, is the revenue pro
per of fiscal year.
The balance on hand, per report of Committee
on Finance, of last session, was $16,226 66, ma
king, with the receipts of the year an aggregate,
exclusive of the ‘’Honolulu Hall Fund,” of
$26,235 93 in the hands of the Treasurer during
the year. Os this sum, up to August 22, 1853,
the Treasurer has disbursed, in payments for ap
propriations of last session, mileage, salaries of
officers,current expences and special investments,
the sum of $21,321 60, leaving a balance on that
in his hands of $5,914 63. Adding, however,
the sum 0f55,427 75 invested on account of the
Honolulu fund, leaves an actual balance of
$11,342 37.
Revenues of the United States. —The New
York Journal of Commerce, from sources of in
formation, most official, estimates the revenue of
the United States for the year ending June 30th,
1853, at $61,000,000; a greater amount of Re
venue proper, than was ever before received into
the Treasury during a single year. The esti
mate of Secretary Corwin, for the year after the
first quarter’s statement had been received, was
only $51,000,000, so that the actual returns have
overrun the estimates $10,000,000.
The totals of which this aggregate is made up
are—from customs $59,931,895.52, from public
lands, $1,667,084.99, miscellaneous, $567,823.97.
It appears from a parliamentary return that
last year the declared value of British cotton
manufactures and cotton yarn exported from the
United Kingdom was £29,868.087, the highest
amount except one, for the year 1833, in which
year the value was £18,481,240. In 1852 Eng
lish exports of cotton to Russia were $174,733 to
the northern ports, and £19,417 to ports within
the Black Sea, while to Turkey the amount was
£1,779,693. To the British settlements in Aus
tralia the amount was £337,960, but to China
£1,905,321; highest amount ol cotton goods ex
ported to one place last year was £5,358,442 to
the British territories in the East Indies.
Contracts for Hoas.—lt is stated that’lo,.
000, raised in Illinois, have been offered at $3.60
net, delivered at St. Louis, without a purchaser.
At the Cincinnati Exchange, for several days
last week, 3000 head of Indiana hogs were offer
ed at $3.75 net, deliverable at Madison, without
a buyer.
Heavy Rains. —On Saturday and Sunday, <
(says the Milledgeville Federal Union, of 13th 1
inst.) very heavy rains fell in this section, put- ;
ting a stop to all transportation by Railroad.
The cars from Gordon did not reach this, city on
; Sunday, and had not arrived when we went to
: press—we are unable to say when the damage
i will be repaired, but we hope in a day or two.
j For this reason our papers may be detained a
day or two beyoud the usual time.
Mortality among Poultry. —There has
been a great mortality among the ducks and
chickens ot the residents of Wilmington, Dela
ware, says the “Blue i=Hen’s Chicken.” Whole
flocks have been swept off by some unknown
disease. Grown fowls would be apparently well
and hearty, when a tremor wonld seize them,
and in a few moments they would fall dead.—
Ducks, in so me instances, took the gapes simila
to chickens, and died soon after being taken.
The Freshet — The Railroad. —The Savan
nah Republican of the 13th inst. says:—We are
indebted to the courtesy of a friend foi some par
ticulars of the treshet in the Oconee river, and
the damage to the Railroad, by which our regu
I lar communication with Macon is temporarily
interrupted. We are informed, that within the
past few days more rain has fallen at and beyond
the Oconee river than tell in the great Harrison
freshet of 1841. Mr. Wadley, the indefatigable
superintendent of the Central Railroad, passed
; over the entire road to Macon on Sunday lash
and finds that the track is considerably washed
! betvyeen stations No. 15 and A small mill
above the 166'mile post is carried away, also.
| one small bridge. We are gratified to learn that
| the bridge over the Oconee river has sustained
| no injury, and that the damages will be so far
repaired by Thursday next, as to allow the
cars to run regularly through to Macon. The
| road has suffered no injuries between this and
| the Oconee river, and the cars go up to No. 15
! without interruption.
New Cotton.
We understand a sale of 80 bales of the New
crop, fiom the plantation of Col. Clanton, were
sold by Messrs. Rees & Crocker, on Wednes
day last, at 10 3-16 cents—quality middling.
A late number of the London Times states
that the proprietors of railroad stock in Great
Britain, are computed to have squandered seven
ty millions of pounds sterling in Parliamentary
contests, and to have obtained leave to make
railway lines to the aggregate value of forty
millions of pounds sterling, which they have in
| the end been glad enough to relinquish.
Post-Office Conveniences in London.—
! There are in London 374 post-office receiving
| houses, and the number of collections daily from
! each is stated to be from two to eleven. The
| proportion of the population to each receiving
houses is 6,316. The number of offices at which
| money-order business can be transacted is 61 >
| and the proportion of the population to each is
| 38,725. The number of deliveries daily is lrom
three to ten.
A new mode of illumination has been devised
by M. Alexis Godillot, of Paris, whose experi
j ments have been witnessed by M. Fould, the
[ Minister, M. Visconti, the Imperial Architect,
! and numerous others, government offic als and
J scientific men. The principle, is the multiplica
j tion of light by means of innumerable small mir
; rors arranged in a particular manner in a multi
j tude ot frames b«und together, the whole made
! to revolve while reflecting the light from a bright
j burner placed before them. The reflecting pow
er is so great that, it is said, sufficient light is
; furnished to enable a man to read at the distance
of a kilometre, —about two-thirds of a mile.
Sale of Cotton. — The New York Herald of
the 6th says: During the past week between
10,000 bales of Cotton were purchased on specu
tion, on the supposition that the product of the
new crop would, on account of the yellow fever,
be one month later than usual in reaching New
Orleans. For the first time, (at least to any
extent,) Cotton has reached Baltimore by the
Ohio and Baltimore Railroad. One house in
that city has received 860 bales, via the Western
rivers and Baltimore, and 300 by the way of
Lake Erie and the Erie Railroad. It was said
that some Cotton had reached Baltimore from as
far South as Memphis.
Another Whig Roorback Nailed.
We copy the following communication from
th tt Federal Union of the 13th inst. Oh shame*
where is thy blush?
To the Public.
Some weeks since I saw a statement purport
ing to give some remarks made by Judge John
son at a public meeting in Canton, Cherokee
county, last year. Judge Johnson and myself
were invited to address the people in Cherokee.
I was sitting in five feet of Judge Johnson du
ring the whole of his speech. I therefore heard
all he said on that occasion, and I heard no re
mark similar to the one stated in the last Re
corder, namely: that he Judge Johnson, ‘'had
no confidence in Union men, that he would not
trust one of them to far as he could throw a
that the buzzards would eat them before the end
of dog days, &c.” There were over one thousand
persons present on the occasion, and 1 appeal to
that vast assemblage to say, if they heard any
such remark. lam surprised that it has not been
contradicted before.
I travelled with Judge Johnson and had fre
quent and full conversations with him, and I
know that we fully concurred in the manner we
should conduct the discussion which was to con
ciliate Union Democrats. More than that, I
was a Union Democrat, and had Judge Johnson
indulged in any such remarks under the circum
stances, I should have considered it a personal
insult, offered to myself, and should have repell
ed it then and there. I know that Judge Johnson
was if possible more assiduous to unite the De
mocracy than myself, and nothing could have
been more suicidal than to have pursued the
course above imputed to him.
I had hoped that the present canvass would
have been conducted upon nigh and lofty princi
ples, and I cannot for a moment suppose that
the coirse of Mr. Jenkin’s friends in this partic
ular can be agreeable to him, knowing as I do
with an uniuteirupted friendship of nearly twen
ty years existing between us, I unhesitatingly
say that he is a gentleman of high-toned honor,
and that he would scorn to gain his election by
such means. And I emphatically say the same
of Judge Johnson. lam satisfied that he would
prefer defeat to success through the misrepresen
tations of his friends. And as a personal and po
litical friend, I rejoice that the Democracy have
been, and are, and I hope will continue to con
duct the canvass in that elevated manner which
has characterised their course to the present

Heath of Natchez, Miss. —During the four
days ending the Ist inst., there were 22 yellow
fever deaths, and it was supposed the disease
was slightly abating. A letter from the town
says:
There are not four hundred people in town,
including men, women, children and negroes.—
The stores are all closed, and every one who
could get away has gone to Washington, about
six miles back of the town. There is no mayor
in town, and only two of the aldermen to be
found. A person can walk the main street of
the city, in the middle of the day, and not meet
two human beings. Such a stampede was never
before known.

Tfp.stble Gale at Sea.— The Steamship Geor
gia Severely Injured. —We learn that the steam
ship Georgia, Cape. Budd, which sailed from New
York on Monday afternoon last, at 4 o’clock
with about 300 passengers for Aspinwall,on the
following Tuesday, in lat. 36 20, lon. 73 56,
(Cape Hatteras bearing north-east, and distant
80 miles,) was overtaken by one of the most ter
rific gales ever experienced on our coast. The
rain fell in torrents, while the wind blew a per
fect hurricane. The Georgia’s fires were soon
put out by the heavy fall of rain, and so serious
was the straining in the gale that she sprung
a leak, and the pumps choking, finally six feet
of water accumulated in the hold. Great alarm,
of course, for the safety of the vessel was excited
among the crew and passengers, but the captain
(Budd) preserved great coolness and command,
and at this stage of affairs addressed those on
board, urging calmness and energetic fortitude.
The result was that all hands set earnestly to
work to hail out the vessel, which was finally
accomplished, so far as to enable the firemen
again to build the fires. Steam was thus got up,
and after all the peril which had been gone
through with, the Georgia was enabled to reach
Norfolk on Saturday afternoon last, to the great
joy of the passengers, not, however, without
having suffered considerable damage. Such is
the extent of her injuries that she will not be
able to proceed to sea again for some time, and
will have to be put in hand for immediate repairs.
The passengers, we learn, have generally left
Norfolk, and many came up to this city by the
regular boats. Among them is Archdeacon Drew,
of the Bahamian Islands, to whom we are in
debted for the above facts.
We learn also that the schooner Henry A Bar
ling, from Montevideo for New’ York, put into
Hampton Roads on Saturday evening, in a crip
pled condition, having lost her spars in a sale.
The Foreign Breadstuffs Excitement.—
The following is an extract from a commercial
letter, from Antwerp, dated August 23d, receiv
ed by IVfrr. Wer.kelmen, of Baltimore :
“ The excitement in the grain market is as
great as it was in 1846 and 1847, and the prices
are continually advancing. Stock on hand
small, and no sellers; but a large business is
done in cargoes of wheat under way from the
Baltic, at prices from 14 J to 15 guilders. The
demand for wheat for exportation, particularly
to France, where the crops are represented to be
lighter and the stock smaller than in 1846, is
very great.”
