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. BkoWnstilue, Pa., Sept. 10. —itroeious Mur der and Arson —The house of Wm. Seeress, at Perryopolis, ten miles from this place, was en tered by robbers last night and his wife murder ed* himself so badly wounded as eo leave but little hopes of bis recovery, and the house plun dered and burnt with his wife. There is no clu» to the discovery of the perpetrators. ' 'auguhta^ga! s *™ THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 15. ' |c- - —•— FOR GOVERNOR, HON. H. V. JOHNSON, Os Baldwin County. DIST. FOR CONGRESS. 1— JAMES L.

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 R. W. Flournoy. 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.

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.” Arrivals at the Railroad House.
