Ascension of a Youthful |2£ronaut.
About 2.000 persons collected yesterday after
noon at Oakland to see Mr Kelly make the pro
mised ascension in his balloon. The balloon for
the occasion was one of the largest size, about
18 feet in diameter, and made of yellow silk.
The scene lor the ascension was in the town, not
far from the wharf. The arrangements for the
manufacture of gas were not properly managed,
and at 1 o’clock, the time fixed for the ascen
sion, the balloon was not more than half full.
At 3 o’clock it was two-thirds full, and the
crowd becoming impatient, Kelly determined to
try it. He had provided blankets, provisions,
bags of sand, and so forth, but the ballon would
not rise with him. Kelly being rather heavy,
several lighter men then got in, but they were
still too heavy. During this time the balloon
was loosened and moved off about 200 yards,
sweeping along near the ground. The crowd
called for a boy. and a number of them who
were near cried “ Let me go.” The car had
been taken off so as to make the ballon as light
as possible, and a light hoop about an inch square
and three feet iri diameter, with a light board
four inches wide lashed across the middle,offered
the only position for a seat
Upon one end of this board where it rested on
the hoop, a boy named Joseph Gates, aged 16
yd&rs, took*his seat partner, who was*
• atf little distance, cried to them to hold on till he
had given the boy the proper directions; but be
bad barely time to tell the boy to pull the rope
when ha hould wish to come down, when the
persons near let go, and the balloon arose
It first took a southward course until it bad gone
about two miles, when i? struck ano* her current
ot air and took a northern course, and when la *
seen was among the clouds, probably eight or
ten miles,northeastward!y ot Oakland, and 800 •
or 1,000 teet high.

hold of the valve rope, when Kelly’s
pawner fold him that it would be necessary to
. puli it to let the balloon down. Some persons
satj] they saw the boy pull the rope and saw it
break butrhisisnot probable, as the rope ap
pealed strong enough to bear two hundred
• pounds. Nosoouer had the balloon risen than
the crowd began to express their regie's Kelly
tried to pacify them by saying the boy had been
up before, but all hi% companions d*uy it. He
was rising very rJTpidly when' last seen v and
moving st>ll morerapiiily to the northeast. No
one can tell what his fate may b«. He had‘%iot
even fixed himself properly on his seat, bfftr w#is
sitting on the edge ot the hoop and leaning ba*k.
upon a rope. • It he does not succeed in op^ning
the valve to let himself down, be will be in
danger of becoming so numb with cold as to fall
out, or be might be frozen to death by the ex
treme cold ; or, if he succeeds in getting down
safely,-no-one knows how far it may be from
any human habitation.
Several of these present assert positively that ■
the boy let the rop#^^and that it blew up over
the netting. If this be true, there is little hope
of his escape alive. *'’

Safe Return of the Boy JEroagut.
Joseph Gates, the boy who made an ascension
in a balloon from Oakland on Sunday afternoon,
and for whose safe return there appeared little
ground to hope, arrived last evening in the Sac
ramento boat, safe except a sprain in his ankle.
He landed in Suisun Valley, fifteen miles from
Benicia, and five miles from any house. He re
tained his presence of mind throughout, during
the hour and a half that he was in the air, in
which time he travelled about fifty miles.
He was excited when he started, but when be
had risen a slight distance he became perfectly
collected, and leaned back in an easy position
against the cords. Here he sat, and for a long
time heard the cries of the crowd below, and
saw the whole bay and the couutry from San
Francisco to Sacramento.
The only unpleasant sensation he felt was cold
in his feet. He took off one shoe, and tied a
handkerchief about his foot, and then took off the
other shoe, but dropped his handkerchief, and
had to put on that shoe as it was before.
He wanted to come down soon after the bal
loon started, but the rope broke ; but he was not
disconcerted nor frightened. He knew very
well whither the balloon was goingjand wanted
to land near Bonicia, but could not climb the
ropes to cut the balloon, as he wished. This he
knew was his only hope, and he persevered un
til he succeeded in getting up to the body of the
balloon and cutting a hole with his penknife.
He was careful not to make the hole too large,
and when he was satisfied that it was of the'
right size, he slipped down to the hoop. The
balloon descended very gradually, and as it reach
ed the ground in the opoea plain he sprang off.
The balloon, lightened of his weight, rose again
rapidly.
He then walked five miles before he reached a
house, and the next day he walked to Bonicia.
This aeonautic tour is, undoubtedly, one of the
mest remarkable on record. When we consider I
the youth and inexperience of the navigator, the |
unexpectedness ot the trip, the scanty accomrno
dations, his success in climbing up the cords and j
cutting the balloon in a perfectly suecefsful man
ner, and bis fortunate escape from the many
dangers, the voyage has scarcely an equal lor ro
mantic interest from the time of Mongolfier up
to the present day. To climb the cords was a
labor of extreme d fficulty, for they weie only
about a quarter of an inch in thickness, and the
distance irom the hoop to a point practicable for
cutting was about twelve feet. But few persons
could perform the feat of climbing such cords near
the earth and much less three miles above, for
that was about the height to which he ascend
ed. He saw not a little danger, but his voyage
will become famous, and his name will be spo
ken from Euro|»e to Austialia He can sell or
ganges and nu*s with a perfect rush tor a few
days. One of the first questions, af’er his arri
val here. w<s what his partner had done with
the money ior the oianges and pea nuts in the
basket he left behind He was not entirely
sorbed by the romance of im voyage, nor for
ful by the fright.
A Cut© Yankee.
The following good one is published in the
September number cf Harper’s Magazine It
is told by a correspondent who signs himself
“ Timmins ”
Among our passengers coming home, said he,
was Mr. H , not long ago a deputy collector
in our port, at the custom house ; a most enter
taining gentleman, who has no idea that be is
telling any: hmg amusing, until he is reminded
ot it by toe loud laughter of everybody about
him
When I was Deputy Collector in New York,
says be, l was sitting in my office one hot af rer
noon, when a long. slab«ided. Yarikee-looking
fellow came in with a kind of guilty look, his hat
dangling in his hand, his head hanging on one
side, and his eyes cast down, but with a curious
kind of a smile too, as I thought, sneaking fitful
ly across his face. He stood by the door for a
minute, twirling his hat, and seeming to be
afraid to come forward to where I was sitting.
“ Well, sir,” I asked, “ what he wanted ?”
“ Be you Mr H ?” said he.
Yes, Mr H is my name.”
“ Yaes; but be you the Deputy Collector of >
New York State ?” 1
I answered that I was the Deputy Collector of
the Customs of the city of New York.
“Edzactly.” says he—“ yeas ; the very man I 1
want to see.”
He hesitated again, and twirled his hat more 1
rapidly than ever. <
“ What is your business with me? state it,” ;
said I, rather sharply. “My time is too valu- -
able to be wasted in useless talk or delay.” <
“ Yaes,” said he ; “ ’dzactly so. Well you see, 1
I’ve got into a leetle trouble; and I come to see 1
if you couldn’t help me out a little.” 1
He fingered his hat again, and I grew impa- t
tient and nervous.
“Go on,” said I, “ and get through. What ia g
your trouble ? and bow can I help you ?or what d
j*gve / got to do with it,” . I f
w Well,” he went on, “ I was dowH to Havana
the other day, and being fond of smokin’ I
bought a few cigars for my own use: and when
we got back to ’York, I didn’t know that there
would be any hurt in bringing in a few ; but as
a man w T as bringing on 'em up Broad street, they
was arrested ‘ for dewties,’ the man said— ‘ dew
ties, and he said they must all be forfeited, or
confiscated, and that I could not have none on
em none on ’em,’ he said, 1 unless I could git
em entered.’ And he told me I couldn’t get
noneon ’em entered until you had give permis
sion, and that he rather thought you wouldn’t do
it, dewty <Jr no dewty.
I was struck with his simplicity—his green
ness. I thought at the time—and was disposed to
overlook what might have been an attempt at
smuggling, in consideration of the fact, that after
all it was probably pure ignorance.
So I said: “As you seem to have been igno
rant of the revenue laws, I will enter your ci
gars, and you can have them upon the payment
of the duty. How' many had you ? ”
“ Twenty thousand on ’em !”
“Twenty thousand cigars for your own use ?
This alters the case entirely.”
“Wellnot’dzactly for my own use, but I
wanted some for my friends to smoke tew
That’s all.” ’
“ Well, sir, on payment of the duty, the cigars
may be taken away.”
Dewty! not arter they’re ‘ entered ,’ there
am tno dewty , is there ? That’s what the man
said tha» took them off the cart.”
I explained to him that the cigars must pay a
duty, and that it was a great favor to himself to
be permitted to take them away at all.
“ Well,” he said, putting on his bat,and hold
ing the door ajar, “ I hain’t got no money to pay
dewties; but I’ll go up town, up to street,
i to see a friend of mine, and maybe he'll take ’em
j out. Good-arternoon. 1”
! The next day, just as I was about leaving my
desk, the Yankee •* operator” came in, bringing
a dark, Spanish-looking person.
« ••« [Ve come to get them cigars,” said he, “ that
wa^ arrested for dewties. My friend, here, will
payjjjia.dewties.”
j Thaftcessary preliminaries were gone through
the cigars were taken away.
* • E#rly on the morning of the next day, as I
i "*■’ sitting at my desk, I felt a faint tap on my
shqplder ; and looking up, who should I see but
» my Yankee customer standing over me!
“ How de du to-day ?” said he.
“ I am quite well, thank you ; but what do you
want of me now ?
j “ Nothin’,” said he—“ nothin’—got done!”
| . And he gave a wink and a leer that none but
just such a lankee as himself could give.
I “We did that thing up handsome, did'nt we ?”
j said he.
“ W>>at thing?” I asked.
i “ Why, them cigars,” said he. “ They was’nt
Cuba cigars, them cigars was made in Connecti
cut 1 I got a factory tneie myself; and I had
them " took up,’ on suspicion. But folks.” he
added,“ will like ’em iust as well as the choicest
Havannas. Fact is there’s a good deai of decep
cion piactuced about cigars J”
I showed the impudent, designing, unscru
j pulous lellow the door and he went out wink
: ing and laughing. “ We did that thing up hand
| som !” as it I myseif had been a party to the
j nefarious transaction
i Iron.—We mentioned (says the New York
in a brief article on the subject of Iron
our enterprising capitalists were
attention to investments in the
nrraTiffjjjcture of Iron, but we find that such in
vestments although made to a very considerable
j extent am in no way commensurate with the
increasing consumption of the country. The
j manufacture of Iron will undoubtedly very soon
j become the most important business interest in
| this country, and those who early engage in it,
at favoiahle locations, must reap immensely
profitable results from their invtstment. The
many railroads now making through different
paits of our inteiior, are giving access to mineral
regions, the value of which are now little dream
ed of by their present owners. We have un
doubtedly Iron ore, in quality equal to any in
the world, and we have it in the Iron mountain
ot Missouri, and in Lycoming county, Pennsyl
vania, in quantity positively inexbaustable. We
have before us the report of the Lycoming Iron
I and Coal Company, J. F. Butterworth, Esq . Pre
sident, from which we learn that this company
own some two thousand acres of land in Lycom
ing county most of which is covered with hori
zontal strata of Iron ore and Bituminous Coal in
| quantity sufficient to produce fen millions of tons
\ of Iron , and adjoining this tract are some fifteen
! thousand acres of land on which are the same
veins of ore and coal. From the certificate of
W. C. Frego, an old and experienced Iron mas
ter, which accompanies the above report, we
see that he says that Pig Iron can be produced
in Lycoming county, for about $lO per top.
It would seem almost marvellous that with
Pig Iron selling at $35. that such extensive min
eral wealth should remain undeveloped. Indeed
we «lo not believe it will long remain so, for by
this report we also learn that a Railroad is now
being made from Elmira in this State to Wil
liamsport, Pa., which passes directly through the
mineral region of Lycoming county. The qual
ity of the Iron made trom the ore of Lycoming
county, would appear from the certificates an
nexed to the Director’s report, and from Profes
sor Hodges’ report, to be very superior. Mr.
Hodge says in his notes taken when on the Geo
logical Survey of the State “ The Iron made
from this white ore is said to bring ten dollars
on the ton more than that from any Centre coun
ty ore. It takes the form of the mould in its
minutest parts and makes strong castings, and
when refined will bear repeated bending back
and forth without fracture.”
We feel that in encouraging the increase of
the manufacture ot Iron by showing to the capi
talist what to us appear as favorable locations
for the erection of Iron works, we are benefiting
not only the producer and consumer of Iron, but
what to us, is of far greater importance, we are
1 greatly increasing the demand for healthy labor
and thereby benefiting the workm- men whose
service will be necessary to bring out thisminer
al wealth. If is also a question of no small im
portance land owners and farmers in the neigh
borhood who have opened to them here new
markets and new means of wealth.
[From the N. O. Picayune 4th inst.\
From the West Indies.
We have received files of the Kingston (Ja
maica) Morning Journal to the 12th ult.
The yellow fever, we perceive trom them, still
continued to carry off occasional victims In
Jamaica, as here, the sufferers are principally
unacclimated persons. Among the deaths caused
by this scourge we see recorded those ot Staff
Surgeon Ferguson, ol the British armv, who died
at Up-park Camp, on the 30th of August - As
sistant Surgeon Walter W. Harris, who died at
the same place on the 6th ult.; and Assistant
Surgeon Gideon I\ W Griffith. ..f the 3<l West
India Regiment, who died at Lucea,on the26th. !
These gentlemen had all lately ariived in the
colony. There is Jittle room to doubt that he 1
th-re been sufficient field tor the operation of the j
disease, produced by immigration. Jamaica would
have suffered with all the severity that the
Southern States have from this terrible pesti
lence.
The new Governor. Sir Henry Barkly, had not
yet arrived, but intelligence had been received
that he would arrive about the 13th of Septem
ber. Mrs B-irkiy would proceed to Jamaica by
way of New York, together with the Chief Jus
tice, Su Joshua Rowe, and his lady, who are
returning al er an absence of more than a year
and a halt I hey left England on the Ist ult
Sir Henry Barkly’s Secretary, Mr. Austin, had
arrived on the 9ih ult. Immediately on thear
riva ol the new Governor, however, he was to
proceed to New York to accompany Mrs. Barkly
thence to Jamaica.
Sir Charles Edward Grey st’ll remained in the
island, and we yet see no announcement of nis
being about to leave it. A meeting, indeed, had
been got up in Kingston to present an address to
him on his approaching departure, but the ad
dress is justly treated as of itself a burlesque on
truth and merit and a> inviting, or rather pro
voking, a warmer condemnation of his odious
and disastrous administration, than the inhabi
tants might otherwise have been inclined to
express. That meeting was called by
the Custos, at the instance of such parties as
confer no honor on him by their expressions.
Another meeting was immediately called by the
Mayor, at the instance of every name of influence
or standing in the city, not, indeed, for the pur
pose of directly, boldly and justly condemning
the conduct of Sir Charles, but of indirectly
doing so in an address of welcome to be prepared
for his successor.
Mining operations are being pressed with a
good deal of energy by the inhabitants, and un
der ordinary circumstances the prospects of their I
proving eminently successful would be consider
ed more cheering. But, as usual, they are threat
ened with blight from the “mother-country.”
When the Government is not interfering to
crush the hopes and efforts of the colony, power
ful interests rise up and do for themselves what
according to their creed she ought to be doing
for them. So, now, such endeavors are being
made in England either to monopolize the mines,
or to prevent the formation of companies in
England for working them, as the colonists de
clare that they will only with the greatest dif
ficulty, it at all, be able to surmount. Public
meetings, however, had been held and strong
efforts were being made to this end, and we can
only wish them success.
Letters had been received from those who
emigrated for Australia in the bark Glentanner.
1 hey had arrived at Bahia in Brazil. One child
had died since their departure ; there was a case
of measles on board at Bahia ; and one passenger
had been putin irons “for telling the captain he
w - as ho Englishman” With these exceptions all
were well.
Mr. Joseph Stone Williams, a young member
of the Jamaica bar, had been appointed Attor
ney General of Honduras.
The report given in the last Jamaica papers of
the death of the Governor of Honduras proves to
have been an error. That of the Governor of
the Bahamas was meant.
Highly Interesting from the Japan Expe
dition.
By the overland Indian mail, received in En
gland, we learn that the United States expedi
tion sailed from Loo Choo on July 3, for Japan.
The announcement is thus made in the Over
land Register of July 23:—Commodore Perry
with the steamers Susquehanna and Princeton,
and the ships of war Plymouth and Saratoga,
left their anchorage on the coast of Loo-Choo, on
the 3d inst., (or Japan. Tne Powhatan is now
on her way from Singapore, and the Vandalia
fiigate may be daily looked lor here, when it is
exacted both vessels will immediately proceed
to join the Commodore. The following inter-
I esfing notice ol a visit made to the island of Bo-
I nian we extract from the North China Herald
j of the 9th inst:
Information has reached us privately, that
| while the United States fleet were in the neigh
borhood of Napikan, (Napakiang ?) the Susque
hanna and Saratoga went on a cruise eastward,
and touched at sevetal beautiful islands, where
1 they distributed live stock. Tney also touched
iat an island named Bonian. To their su-prise
they discovered a few European residents, con
sisting oi English, Scotch, Irish and Spanish, who
had leit whalers and established themselves there.
Amongst them were about eleven women. The
Governor ot the island is a Scotchman. He
claims the island as his own, and has been set
tled there about twenty years. He has a family
ot several children, one of whom was drowned a
few days before the Susquehanna touched there,
in endeavoring to cross the bar.
The Commodore has made a purchase of a
piece of land containing about ten acres, for fifty
dollars. It is in a good situation, on one of the
best sites of the harbor, arid is intended for a gov
ernment coal depot. The island is mountainous,
and the harbor excellent, having from eighteen
to twenty fathoms of water at the anchorage.
Shellfish, such as lobsters and crayfish, abound ;
on land plenty of wild goats are to be found.—
Plums, bananas, plantains, and other varieties of
fruit, are abundant on the island.
The Russian frigate Callas, and a Russian brig
of-war, immediately followed the American
squadron.
With reference to the American Japan expe
dition, we find the following in the Weser Ga
zette:—“ft is stated that the Russian government
has resolved to resist the attempts of the Ameri
cans against Japan, and that the Russian squad
ron which recently sailed lor those seas was in
tended for that purpose. The Russian govern
ment has sent for Professor Siebold, who resides
on the bank of the Rhine, to obtain from him
every information relative to Japan, and as to
the best means to be adopted to defeat the at
tempt of the United States. M. Siebold is w ell
acquainted with Japan, having resided there
many years. The Dutch government is said to
be pleased with this determination of the cabi
net of St Petersburg, as the Americans also
threaten the Dutch archipelago, and as, moreover,
the English press express themselves in favor of
the Americans, and have lately begun to throw
discredit on the Dutch rule in the East Indies.”
British Intervention in South America.
A letter in the London Times, dated Buenos
Ayres, Aug. 2d, states that the fall of Urquiza has
“just brought to light a piece of diplomacy that
will redound little, in these regions, to the credit
of Sir Charles Hotham and M. St. Georges. It
appears, and beyond doubt, that, in the certain
prospect of his fall, these gentlemen negotiated
with the late Provisional Director the cession of
the Island of Martin Garcia, the Gibraltar of the
Parana, to the British and French Governments,
as a guarantee for the free navigation of the in
terior rivers. It is a most odious transaction, for
which General Urquiza had not a shadow of right
or authority, and will be resisted with the last
drop of Argentine blood, and it may lead to com
plications with the United States and Brazil, the
remote consequences of which no one can fore
see or predict ”
The New York Herald remarks that the is
land of Martin Garcia is the key to the whole ol
that valuable portion of South America which
has been for the last forty years undergoing a
series of revolutions and changes of goverr. ment
without number. It is worthy of remark that
at the very time when this negotiation was go
ing on, England and France were urging their
tripartite treaty on the United States, by which
we were to forego forever the possession of Cuba.
An Editor’s Life.— The Demopolis"Sentinel
thus plainly discourses on this subject:
“ The fate of an editor is beyond question a
hard one. Other kinds of business have inter
vals of relaxation, in which the energies of the
mind are invigorated by change; but there is no
rest for either publisher or editor. It is his du
ty to cater to the amusement of his readers, and
in seeking to perforin this part of his duty, he
chains himself down, and whilst the laugh is
merrily ringing under his office, and everybody is
exulting in exemption trom labor, he is taxing
every faculty, turning his brains “topsy tuivy”
—ransacking huge piles of insipid papers in quest
of something for his readers. Those who have
never felt the necessity of writing, regardless
of the condition of the body, or the frame of!
mind, can form no adequate conception of the I
hardship of an editorial life. When he has i
written, then comes the tug. Every blockhead
has to pick at and critise his articles. The grave !
and phlegmatic has no relish for anecdotes, and
the devil-may-care sort of a fellow thinks that !
too much spac*- is devoted to grave matters the i
housewife scolds her husband for taking the pa- !
per, because there are no receipts in it tor ma
king pies or curing whooping-cough—old maids
are angry because no more marriages are an- 1
nounced. Thus it is that an editor can never
please everybody.”
Railroads in England.—The Travels and ,
the Receipts. —According to an official docu- •
j ment recently submitted to Pa.liament, the i
nUI T TT° f P® s f en S ers conveyed on the railways ,
ol the United Kingdom during the six months j
ending on the dlst of December last, was 49-
886,123; of which 5,859.215 were of the Ist ]
class. 17.524.651 of the second class, 26.484 866 ■,
of the third and Parliamentary classes and 17,- j
991 were holders of season tickets. The aggre
gate of receipts Irom this number of passengers
j was £4 360 168 The receipts in the same ~pe
riod Horn the transport of goods, cattle, parcels
and ma Is, amounted to £4,5CD,105; and the to
tal income derived from the two branches of
traffic amounted to <£8.850 273. This was an in
crease in the total income ove/ that of the pre
ceding year of £602 336 : but it is remarkable
that, with so large an increase in the aggregate,
there was a diminution in the receipts from pas
sengers 0f£230,659. This comparative falling j
off of this branch of revenue is attributed to the
effect of the Great Exhibition of 1851, in having
not only augmented the receipts of that year, but
reduced in s'ome degree those of the year fol
lowing from the large number ot merely occa
sional visitors to the capital, who had availed ,
themselves of the period when it presented an
unusual attraction.
Ihe Weather —Saturday night and Sunday
gave indication of abundant showers of rain,
which would have been serviceable in laying the
annoying dust of the streets. The wind was
from the Bouth and West and heavy black clouds
overspread the whole heavens, but no rain came,
and yesterday morning we had a sharp bracing
wind Irom the north, which continued nearly j
all day. We are not as yet advised whether this
change had any effect upon the health of the i
city.— Mobile Register ith.

i k\v York, Oct. 4.—The steamship Crescent
arrived this evening at 10 o’clock. She
brings 000 passengers and a million in specie, in
cluding among her treasure $40,000 of Australian
gold, per Adams & Co.’s Express, being the first
shipment Irom that county by the California

met the steamship Star of the West. West ol
Caicos she also saw a ship dismasted.
The health ol the Isthmus was good, and the
weather very pleasant. The news from the
Isthmus was otherwise unimportant.
Australia. —The Crescent City brings Aus
tralian dates to the 20th of July, which had been
received at Panama. The miners in Australia
w'ere agitating a reduction in the license tax.—
Large meetings had been held, which those in
I attendance were armed to the teeth. Great ex

Fresh discoveries of gold had been made, and
the mining intelligence was favorable.
Valparaiso. — Valparaiso dates to the Ist ol

Catharine Hayes was soon to complete her
career at the rate of $2,000 per night.
The papers give further particulars of the state
of affairs at the Chinchas, growing out of the dif
ficulty with the American ship Defiance. The
Defiance, on going to sea, saluted the other
American vessels, and was fined, A second sa
lute was then fired, which so enraged the Peru
vian commander of the port that he went on
board the Defiance with three boats with armed
men. After a severe encounter, the captain ol
the Defiance was seized and bound, and then
thrown into one of the boats, by which he was
severely injured The Peruvian commander hav
ing taken posse siou ol the Defiance, took her to
Calloa, and retained the commander in prison.
Mr. Clay, the American minister to Lima, forth

went in her to Chinchas to investigate the whole
affair. He has transmitted the result of his in
vestigation in a dispatch to Washington
Business has become paralyzed throughout the

will be delivered by Henry Williams, Esq., ot
this city.
On tne 21st of March, 1825, General LaFay
ette, then on a visit to th s city, assisted by the
Masonic Lodges, laid the coiner stone of the
monument now standing in Johnson square to
the memory of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, and on
the same day another was laid in Chippewa
square for a monument to Count Pulaski. The
amount of funds collected have not till now
been sufficient for the erection of both monu
ments. Hence the one in Johnson square has
heretofore been known as the “Greene and Pulas
ki Monument.” In 1820 the State Legislature
granted a Lottery tor the purpose of raisi ig a
fund for the erection ot these monuments, and
we are gratified that the operations of this lot
tery have at last resulted in the procurement ol
the necessary means to build the second monu
ment. On the 11th of October, 1779, Count
Pulaski, in Savannah, sealed with his blood in
death his devotion to American Liberty, and the
anniversary of that day is a fitting period for the
imposing ceremonials ot laying the corner stone
for the erection of a monument sacred to his
memory. The foundation is a substantial piece
of work by Messrs. Lufburrow & Jones, and the
superstructure will be reared by Mr. Rob-rt E.
Lounitz. Why this monument was not reared
in Chippewa^square, upon the corner stone laid
by Gen. Lafayette in 1825, we are not advised.

I he Weather. —After some eight days’ spell
of fine, bright, spring-like, bracing weather, we
were on Saturday introduced to one of those un
meaning, provoking days, that so invariably ac
company a fixed change in this climate. And
on Sunday evening the change itself came, after
the changeable day. Sunday was itself a de
lightful day, but immediately after dusk the wind
gradually veered towards the North, banged win
dows and doors about a little, and made the “folks
at home” fancy themselves all the more com
fortable for the latter being closely shut. War
mer covering at night was found necessary;
and some people began to speculate on the price
of coal. Yesterday opened with all but a wintry
aspect, and although some ventured out without
looking before them, they were reminded pretty
keenly that it was not so warm as it had been.
We know at least one who tooiv the first oppor
tunity to get home and exchange summer drill
for warmer woolen; and by the time night was
coming on he wondered how he should have felt
if he had not. Winter is coming now—that is
a fact.— N. O. Picayune , 4th inst.
Life Insurance. —The Superior Court has
given a decision in the case of Callander vs. The
Keystone Lite Insurance Company. It is clearly
decided, that any misrepresentation or conceal
ment by any applicant for insurance of a fact
which is material to the risk, whether made by
mistake or fraud, is latal to the policy—and that
any lact, which, if known, would increase the
risk or the premium, is material. The defence
set up by the Company was, that Callander had
committed suicide, and that moreover, he had
misrepresented his occupation at the time of ap
plying for his policy by calling himself a farmer,
whereas, he was engaged in slave-catching.
Lhese tacts were clearly made out on the trial,
and the Supreme Court aflirrn that such defence
is a good one, and fatal to the policy.
Wisely Done. —At the recent session of the
hock River Conference of the M. E. Church,
held in this city, a series of resolutions were in
troduced upon the subject of slavery. The Con
ference very wisely considering, as we suppose,
that the question was one over which they had
no jurisdiction, that its agitation on their part
could only result in stirring up bitterness and
strife within the bosom ol the Church and it fur
ther inflaming the sectional animosities which
previous agitation had engendered, stamped the
whole thing with the seal of their reprobation,
by tabling the resolutions. Other religious de
nominations would undoubtedly promote the
ends of their organization by following the ex
ample of the Rock River Conference upon this
subject.— Chicago Democratic Press.
Custom House Revenues. — We annex a ta
ble ol the Custom House revenues for the year
ending 30th June, 1853, which, it will be seen
amount to SSB 931865 52 against $47 339 326
60 for 1852, and $49,017,567 92 for the fiscal year
ending 30th June, 1851. New York, as usual,
litres the largest, being about two-thirds of the
whme. At the five principal ports comprising
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans
and ban F rancisco, the aggregate exceeds 54 mil
lions of dollars.

! Crossing thk Atlantic in a week.— Since
we noticed the statement made by Mr. Norris of
the building of a steamship—himself the engi-
I lie ®. r ’W. Griffiths the nautical architect—
which was to cross the Atlantic in six days, a
number of inquiries have been made of us re
specting it. Answers to them cannot be given ;
18 • to Wa ' fc development of events,
J?rom Major Norris and Mr. Griffiths we expect
nothing ordinary, and if their vessel makes the
voyage in eight and a half days, instead of six,
! the / m « st «et the broom. This would be most
extraordinary sailing, as it would be an average
of 360 miles every day. We shall be more than
: satisfied it the new steamship does this. Any
thing new that may come before us respecting it
we shall report to our readers.— Scientific Ameri
can.
AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9.
Election Returns.
We have the following returns in addition to
those published yesterday:
Emanuel County.
The Savannah Georgian of yesterday, says a
report had reached that city, that Emanuel coun
ty had given Seward upwards of fifty majority,
and that the probability is that Seward is elect
ed by three or four hundred majority.
Rabun.
A private letter received by us last evening,
states that Johnson’s majority in Rabun county
[official), is 260 votes.
Savannah, Oct. S.
In Lowndes, Jenkins’ majority is reported at
22, and Seward’s 38.
In Camden,Johnson has a majority of 179 and
Seward 180.
In Montgomery,Jenkins has a majority of 239
and Bartow 209.
Richmond County Democracy.
In no part ot the State was the battle for the
principles of the Democratic party, and the vin
dication of the Federal Executive, fought with
more gallantry, and determined nerve than in
this county. Long overshadowed by a majority
sometimes reaching near four hundred, the Demo
crats have fought hitherto under the conviction
of defeat, and fought only from pride of opinion
and a stern sense of duty. The contest opened
this year under not less disheartening circum
stances. It was to be fought against a confident
party, having at its head its most meritori
ous son, whose home. and warmest friends were
in our midst—here where he had not an enemy,
and where there were none who did not wish
him, in all respects, politics excepted, success and
prosperity. It was under these circumstances,
and almost without preparation or organization,
and without a tull ticket in the field on which
to rally, the Democrats went into the contest
and marched to the polls. The result proved the
party stronger than it has been for many vears.
It is notorious that many Democrats voted for
Mr. Jenkins, and yet his gain was but eighteen
over the vote ot the Whig candidate in 1849.
This encourages the Democracy to renewed ef
fort, and they leei confident that one more such
contest will give them the county. Col. Mil
ledge bore himself gallantly [and ably through
out—winning many friends by his frank and
bold bearing, ar d proving even to his most zea
lous opponents that he had talents, energy and
popularity that are destined to be formidable to
them, and valuable to the Democratic party in
many a future contest. He has already proved
that his services as a legislator are valuable, not
to a party merely, but to his native county and
State. The time will come when he will be
again called into requisition.
The Election—lts incidents and Excite
ments.
The week just closed has been probably the
most exciting, politically, ever known in Geor
gia. Certainly in this community there never
has been any thing of the kind to surpass it.
Both parties went into the contest on Monday
last with high hopes, mingled with many anxious
fears for the result. Every body felt interested.
Every body felt excited. Not only did “the lords
of creation,” but we may add “the ladies of crea
tion,” and the boys and the little children partici
pated in it. Even the musical little darkies felt
it as they carolled in the streets to the tune of
“I’ll bet my money on the bobtail nag,
Will somebody bet on the bay ?”
Every body bet something that had no scru
ples against betting ; and no doubt some did who
had, but the latter took pains not to let the left
hand know what the right hand was doing, and
we presume with equal quietness will fork over,
or rake down the stakes.
As the returns came in from day to day and
from hour to hour by telegraph, and the prospects
of the opposing candidates for Governor alter
nately brightened and grew dim, their respective
friends took their turns upon the anxious ben
ches. In fact those benches were fully occupied
all the time, and sometimes there was a little
crowding to make room for all the mourners.
Not a few who had never thought seriously be
fore on the subject of betting on elections, in its
ethical aspects, began to moralize most contritely
in calmly reviewing the matter, and to suspect
that they had done wrong. These salutary re
flections were not confined to one side, but
were equitably participated in by both Whigs
and Democrats. Still there were occasions not
only for hope, but for most jutulant ebullitions,
kindly allotted to each, and their respective can
didates were several times elected by the re
turns, apparently, beyond a doubt.
On Friday night, both the Chronicle office and
that ot the Constitutionalist, were scenes of bois
terous excitement, the streets in front were pack
ed with a dense mass of citizens, and the air
resounded alternately, with the cries of hurrah
for Jenkins,Jiurrah for Johnson , the tooting of
horns,tm trumpets andwitb other uncouth sounds.
Soon however, the despatch from Athens was
announced, “Rabun gives 400 majority for John
son,” and very soon after Appling, Wayne and 1
Ware, as giving 154 gain to Johnson. These
operated like wet blankets on Whig hopes, and
soon the streets became quiet and almost deserted- -
Much depended on the vote of Rabun. The
returns fiocn Cass,and Cherokee, and Union,and
Jackson, and Madison, had struck a chill of dis
appointment to the hearts of the Democracy,
which even the magnificent majority of Old
Franklin, that ever glorious and immortal ban
ner State of Democracy, tailed to remove. It
was feared her gallant conduct was insufficient
to replace the defections which had marked thi®
eventful battle. But when Old Rabun was an
nounced as faithful to her time honored flag of
Democracy, the most perilous point of the con
flict was hapnily past, and victory was certain.
There have been many inaccuracies, some tri
vial, some important, in the returns. Those of
Rabun were afterwards reduced to 270 majority. !
and next to 260 for Johnson. Gilmer has been
200, 550, and 600 for Johnson ; Lumpkin 179
and 386, and other similar cases occurred both as
■ to Whig and Democratic counties. But yesterday
the question was reduced down, not to “who is
1 elected Governor,” but “what is Johnson’s ma
-1 jority.” A question we are still unable to answer
with accuracy.
Among the rumors yesterday, was, that the
vote cf Franklin would be vitiated for informali
ty ; but we considered that as one of the daily
rumors set afloat to hoax, to perplex and worry 1
the already fevered public. This game of vitia- '
ting election returns is one that both sides can I
play at, and one side would be as likely to lose as !
much as the other. Franklin, we presume, was se- '
lected as the county for the hoax, because the re
jection of no other one county could possibly
change the election.
There need be no fears, however, but that the
popular will as already expressed, will be res
pected ; nor need there be any, that the State j
has secured in the person of her talented son,
Herschel V. Johnson, a worthy, discreet and ef
ficient Executive.
Hon. Mr. Barringer, the U. S. Minister to i
Spain, recently had an audience with the Queen, l
when he presented his letter of recall, and made
quite a flattering address to Her Majesty, who
responded in equally complimentary terms, ex
pressing her desire to maintain friendly relations
with the American government.
Gas Works.
We understand that the Gas Works are under
going some repairs which is the cause of the gas
being shut off for the last three nights. It is
expected that in a day or two more the repairs
will be completed.
Gold and Lead in the Alleganies.—The
Fairmont Virginian says that an old gentleman
arrived in that town, a few days since, with
some gold specimens of lead ore, and some spe
cimens of what he contended is gold quartzi
which he says he obtained from the mountains,
but resolutely declines to state where he fonnd
the ores he exhibits, and exultingly declares that
if the one is gold, he has already enough of it on
hand to insure him a thousand dollars at the
mint.
We learn from a telegraphic dispatch in the
Augusta Chronicle 8f Sentinel, dated Montgomery,
*/llti. } the oth inst, that there were very few ca
ses of yellow fever in that city, and'that the
panic which existed last week had nearly sub
sided. Business, however, was very dull.
In our issue yesterday, the above paragraph
was inadvertently published with the word Mont
gomery omitted. We regret that the error should
have occurred, but we believe any intelligent
reader would readily perceive that there was
something left out, and not construe it to mean
that Augusta was afflicted with the pestilence—
indeed it is proveibial that Augusta, like our own
city, has been favored during the past summer’
arid continues to enjoy an unprecedented state of
health— esto perpetua. — Chas. Courier , Bth inst.
The Sloo Contract tor the Tehuantepec road,
it is said, is complete. The contract was made
with Sykes & Co., ot Sheffield, England, to com
plete the plank road, from Suchit, to the Coatza
coalcos river, to the Pacific, a distance of 76
miles, in one year from the first of December,
and a railroad from ocean to ocem, 163 miles, in
four years from the first of December.
Mules. —The Huntsville Advocate says 7.500
mules have passed through one toll gate in Ken
tucky on the road leading to Cumberland Gap,
this season, destined for Georgia and South Car
olina. The mule crop this year is estimated at
33 per cent, larger than usual. Prices, however,
are very high in Kentucky notwithstanding.

sho.ild not lose sight ot the tact that an advance
in prices diminishes consumption, and that the
short crop will thus go larther than the <*ame
quantity would in a year of plenty. The ero«
ol barley and rye are also very good, and the
crop oi potatoes in that portion of Europe is
better than for many years.
In Great Britain the crops are below the aver
age, so that, taking the whole together, there
: will probably be a demand for American bread

, nets. But this does not settle the question of
! Profit to the speculators. The supply offered in
i the Fiench or British markets may be so con

i any further advance. The GovernmentofFrance,
and the French and English capitalists, and do-*
ing all in their power to produce such a state of
things. In France, the police record even im

throughout the empire, noticing the namesd
the buyer and seller, and tire price and quantity
purchased. The late advance in the rate of m
terest by the Bank of England is designed also
to discourage speculators. The present price of
grain and flour will yield a large income to the
producer; and any considerable advance will
probably go into the pocket of some specula
tor.
