The Late Fair,
We copy below several extracts from the Au
gusta correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
They are from the pen of W. B. Carlylse, one
of the assistant editors of that ably conducted
paper, and one of the best descriptive writers
connected with the press of the South. We
hope he may not only live to see, but enjoy un
interrupted health until the next Annual Fair of
the Southern Central Agricultural Association
meets in this city, where he will find warm and
admiring friends to greet him, and we hope to be
one of the number.
October 19.
Floral Hall.
One of the three large canvass tents we have
referred to, is aptly named “Floral Hal!/’ being
devoted to specimens floriculture, and the richer
products of the garden and nursery. The first
positive command given to man. was an injunc
tion to till, and dress, and keep a garden, and
even now the hardy farmer, doomed to soften
and subdue the sometimes stubborn and un
yielding soil, finds in a garden his simplest and
purest recreation. The garden is indeed the last
result, the highest sketch, “the bright consum
mate flower” of the noble art and vocation of
of terraculture—our farming and planting pro
cesses are perfected as they opproximate garden
ingin many respects, and hence all our schemes
of agricultural improvement, recognize the gar
den as an important element. If Eve, as com
mon accounts and interpretations go, first caused
man’s expulsion from the Garden of Heaven’s
first planning, her fair daughters have nobly re
deemed her fault by endeavoring to allure and
win him back. But the ladies here, as in all de
partments of the fair, are diverting attention
trom the inanimate beauties, and we must there
fore enter and survey Floral Hall.
We are stopped at the very entrance l.y a
rich pyramid of flowers, displaying every hue
and variety, and elevated on a large cubic pedes
tal of evergreens. This bears the name of J. W.
Bessman, whose nursery has also furnished a
large assortment and varity of the plants and
flowers that deck the greenhouse or enliven the
parterre. With the exception of the pyramid
first described, these are arranged with a view
to floral effect, on concentre and circular stands
or shelves, rising in pyramidal graduation, Mr.
Bessman occupying a large proportion.
We next meet the collections and contribu
tions of Thos. T. Tobin, formerly of your city,
and well known to your floral amateurs, who
exhibits a large display of the nurslings and
pets of horticulturists, including 40 vaiieties of
the Dahlia.
The portion assigned to F. A. Mange, and well
occupied by him, exhibits also a rich variety of
similar products, including some rare and recent
ly introduced exotics, both floral and fruit bear
ing. Around the canvass we find an outer cir
cle of shelves, stands, &c., to which we now
turn, having gone all around the pyramid.
Fruits and Flants.
Eyeing some fine looking grapes as eagerly a9
the fox in the iable, (the said grapes, however,
not being sour as your deponent’s palate can at
test.) we learn that they are contributed by S.
Rose, Esq , of the Macon Journal & Messenger,
In happy adaptation both to name and pursuits,
Mr. Rose has been appointed Chairman of one
of the Committees of Adjudication, in this De
partment, he having been very successful in his
horticultural attempts, and pruning a plant as
well and a willingly as he pens a paragraph.
Lucky man! Unlike others of his craft, he is
not indebted to the casual courtesies of friends or
strangers tor bis taste of ore or juicy fruits.—on
the other hand, he loses perhaps many occasions
for paragraphs beginning with thje well known
formulae “we find on our table,” &c. (Was ever
anything so effectually lost , that it could not be
found on an editor's table.
These grapes of Mr. Rose were plucked from
the vine a few days only before their exhibition,
having been preserved in situ, by a simple pro
cess ot applying paper bags, which, we believe,
was first tested by himseif. rle has thus pre
served them, until the 20th December, in one in
stance. in lull juice and flavor, anti is now confi
dent that the process will succeed in any ordi
nary season, in extending the period through
which we may enjoy this delicious product of
the garden
Hard by these grapes we observe several bot
tles fil ed with grape juice—two brands of Geor
gia Scuppernong Wine, made by Mr. Rose from
his own grape. They we;e not entered for pre
miums, but exhibited for the information and
gratification of others, and some editorial breth
ren, for whom Mr. Rose extracted a cork, were
unanimously of the opinion that any well fur
nished daig store contained many articles much
harder to take than this grape juice. One brand
was two years old, and proved decidedly what
has been before tested—the wine making quali
ties of the Scuppernong—and Mr. Rose thinks
that his latter attempts have been more success
ful, as to the details and modes of working. We
devoutly w r ish success to him and all enterpris
ing persons and gardeners who are developing
our own resources, and improving our advanta
ges of nature, soil arid climate. Why should
Southerners who wish to drink a bottle of wine,
be compelled to pay tribute to the distant apple
orchards of New Jersey?
Mr. Rose also exhibits Peaches, a late variety
of excellent flavor; Guavas, from his own gar
dens, Pomegranates, &c. 6
The r.ext contribution reminds us, involun'a
rily, ol that * fair maid of Kilkenny,” whose
“lips were like strawberries smothered in cream ”
for on the label we find the name of Charles A.
Peabody, Esq., of Columbus, Ga, who contri
butes twenty-three varieties of Strawberries,
and not one bad sort. Mr. Peabody is also a con
sumer of Printers’ Ink as well as other fertil
izers, being connected with the agricultural de
partment of that well-known journal, the Soil
of the South. The name of the journal desig
nates a neat tent which Mr. P. has erected lor
the accommodation of his friends and the busi
ness of his establisement, and this tent has been
formally declared “ free soil” to ail members and
associates ot the Press, serving as a general edi
torial exchange or rendezvous, and affording a
comfortable shelter and resort h r ladies who
wish to look at those fine large strawberries.
The advantages and facilities Mr. Peabody has
thus accorded to all desirous to learn the inci
dents and note the progress of the Fair, are ac
knowledged by all concerned, wbo have confess
ed themselves indebted deeply to him a debt
which we doubt not they are perfectly willing to
take out in straw 7 berries at the earliest opportuni
ty. Shaking of editorial tents, the Temper
ance Banner , (of Penfieid, Ga..) the oldest Tem
perance paper, we believe, now in existence,
has established a canvas office, pro tem , on the
Fair grounds, and the editor is ever ready to
meet all friends or inquireis with a warm wel
come and a glass—of cold water. Having with
the said glass relieved our throat from the dust
occasioned by the vast concourse and the dry
weather, we return to finish our survey of Floral
Hall. 7
A. S Jones, of Wbitefield, presents four bar
rels of Apples—a late winter variety, well adap
ted to this clima ! <*.
Robert Patterson, of Jefferson, exhibits three
varieties of late Peaches, (seedlings.)
Miss C C. Haralson, of Troup, and Mrs. E.
Harper, of Newton, also exhibit fine varieties of
Peaches. We admit the soft impeachment of eat
ing one of “Nixe’s latest” from the latter col
lection, presented by the representative of the
fair contributor: and we think that Adam, had
he resisted the apple, would have yielded to one
of that sort of peaches.
John Van Boren, of Hull, a welcome and well
known contributor to our Southern Agricultural
Journals, presents 23 varieties of Seedling Ap
ple-.
VV. H. Thurmond, of Atlanta, 30 varieties of
Apple Seedlings— 1 Seedling Pear and 60 varie
ties —40 varietie of Southern Seedling Apples,
and 54 varieties ol Pears. From the extent of <
Mr. Thurmond s contributions in Shanghais and <
Scions, it is evident be does not intend to let any
friendly competitor crow over him, without a
good struggle. I
Henry Camp, from a newly established Nur- 1
sery in Newton county, reports and presents 75 j
var eties of Peaches, 61 of Pears, 54 ol Southern I
seedling Apples, 50 of other Apples, 10 of Cher
ries, IS of Northern Plums, largest and richest
varieties, 10 of Nectariens, and 10 of Apricots;
this large collection of nurslings, all looking
green and thriving, despite the two weeks they
have been severed from their native beds and
their package transportation by rail road for 130
miles. Mr. Camp, vve are informed, has estab
lished several experimental and trial Nurserhs,
admitting nothing into his Nursery-proper, or
his sales-catalogue, that has not proved its capa
bility or acclimation. In quitting Floral Hall,
we must bow in deference to the shrine of Wo
man, lair patroness and sweet minister of flow
ers; and we linger last therefore on the latest
contributions—a tastefully arranged box or case
ot Dahlias,exhibited by Mrs. R. Battey, of Floyd,
and a magnificent parlor Bouquet, from Mrs.
Eliza M. Doughty.

In several cases we have enjoyed the specta
cle of witnessing trotting matches against time,
the trotters being controlled by ribbons in the
fair hands of fair woman, and these attempts
have shown that the daughters of the South, gen
tle and refined as they are, by instinct and edu
cation, are not deficient in the spirit that be
comes a true woman. The noble and romantic
exploits ot Emily Geiger, Betsy Slocumb, and
other Spartan women of our revolutionary an
nals, proves that female equestrianism is not al
ways an idle or useless accomplishment. It is
perhaps to be regretted that the general and in
creasing use of vehicles is tending in some sec
tions to divert our Southern ladies from the no
ble, health-giving and bloom-inspiring art of ri
ding, but the tints of nature’s own touches, which
glow on the cheeks of Georgia’s daughters, here
congregated, show that many of them at least
still pursue this and other appropriate exercises.
They ripen kindly and genially beneath the free
air and under the beautiful breezes, and they—
as we intimated before, often tempt us to neg
lect our proper subjects, as is the case with us
at present, running away as w 7 e are from the
fair on the Lafayette Course after the fair on
horseback.
The Knights of the Blue Ribbon.
We read in the book of Job, one of our oldest
of histories—that when the “ sons of God w 7 ent
up to present themselves before the Lord, the
Devil went up also,” and ever since, there has
never been any large concourse or congregation
with which the printers devil had not something
to do. The Press is well represented here and
the general intercourse and sympathy of purpose
existing between its associates and attaches, is a
pleasing feature. They are here denominated
the “ Knights of the Blue Ribbon,” that beinu
the peculiar badge furnished by the managers, to
dist'iiguish them from others having the entree
on other grounds, and enable them more readily
to recognize each other. The intercourse be
tween membeis of the Press from different sec
tions, before strangers to each other, ha 9 been of
a most agreeable and reciprocally advantageous
character, and has been much facilitated by the
convenient rendezvous afforded by the “Soil of
the South” tent, before described.
On Monday—the first day ot the Fair—the
various editors, reporters, quill-drivers ; and para
graph hunters, attached to Augusta, were noti
fied most courteously by Col. John Miiledge,
that their presence at his residence, was earnest
ly and imperatively requested. The occupations
of these “ distinguished guests,” and the general
activity and bustle awakened by the fair, pre
cluded all possibility of a formal entertainment,
| and accordingly the “defendants in the premi
ses,then and tuere agreeing and conspiring to
gether, resolved and decided to be and appear at
the house aforesaid, on Tuesday, the 18rh inst.,
at 4 o’clock of the afternoon.” Col. Miiledge is
one ot those Southerners whose hospitality is
ever ready for drafts at sight, and he neither ran

Your correspondent was also there" to take a
note on it,” and the party enjoyed themselves in
that genial and happy spirit which the atten
tions and courtesies of such hosts as Col. Mil
j ledge are sure to create in all who recognize the
social duties and kindlier ieelings of our na
ture.
The residence of Col. Miiledge is delightfully
situated on the “Sand Hills,” —an elevated ridge
rising in amphitheatre order,and affording a pic
turesque and pleasing view of the city of Augus
ta, distant some three miles,
In addition to those named, there have been
in attendance at the Fair, other Editors, whose
engagements prevented their meeting at the de
lightful rendezvous referred. Os those we have
noted :
W. B. Johnson, Esq., South Carolinian.
T. W. Lane, Esq., Savannah Evening Jour
nal.
S Rose, Esq., Macon Journal & Messenger.
T. Lomax, Esq., Times & Sentinel, Columbus,
Georgia.

Knowles, Esq., Southern Recorder, Mil

T. T. Christian, Esq., Times, Dalton, Geor

The Augusta Editors—whose names are well
known to you, are of course, in attendance, and
we doubt not that in looking over the various
halls ot exhibition, they are often tempted to
envy such fair lists oi contributors

The Annual Oration.
The ladies up to this day engrossed attention
and monopolized interest, but the men were “the
lions'to day. *oon after the opening of the
grounds this morning, it was rumored that Ed
ward Everett had arrived, according to invita
tion and as every body wished it so. many be-
Jicved it for some time, and there was consequent
ly much running ro and fro. Mr. Everett, how!
ever had not arrived, to the regret of all concern
ed, but there was one present, with whom even
Everett could freely share a platform. The An
nual Oration was delivered about 10 A. M. ac
cording to arrangement, by Rev. G F. Piercce
D. D., and, we would state, that he delivered a’
masterly, manly, and eloquent address, if we
thought there was one of your readers in Geor
gia or Carolina who would not take that con
clusion as a matter of course. It gave indeed,
universal satisfiction, and attracted and enchain
ed a large audience despite the weather, which
then wore its most unfavorable aspect. This
state of the weather—drizzling rain and damp
chilling winds—which would have rendered it
almost impossible for one with voice less accus
tomed to discoursing, than Dr. Pierce, to speak
in -he open air, forbade all attempts at a formal
report. None would wish, indeed, to mar such
efforts by imperfect reports, or destroy the anti
cipatory interest in the expected publication of
this Association, which, in inducing and invoking
such men as George F. Pierce to vindicate and
enforce ttie dignity and responsibilities of the 1
Southern farmer and planter, has done no slight
service to the cause of agriculture. We admire the
spirit which Georgia exhibits in not neglecting
or forgetting her best men in improving heT
horses, sheep and oxen ; and Dr. Pierce’s pre
cepts and examples, in this respect, will not pass
away without effect. We wish Georgia God
speed in all her efforts and departments of im
provement; while the local affinities, and in-|
structive attachments which Dr. Pierce so elo
quently vindicated, compel us to wish that her
sisfer over the Savannah, may give her a close
race for the goal. In the meantime, all good
citizens, on either side, wish that nothing wider
or more serious than the Savannah, may ever
divide the two States.
October 24.
Among other specimens of home manufacture,
the meetings and tairs of this institution will
hereafter tend no doubt to improve the cultiva
tion and raising of babies, as one volunteer pre
mium has been taken already, and a prominent
officer and worthy member of the Association
has authorized the announcement that hereafter
a SSO premium will be awarded at all fairs to
the finest specimen of that line. We presume
that tbe rules and conditions for enteries and
competition will be made public in due time.
The success and results of this fair are encour
aging, and as compared with the state of things
manufactured a few 7 years since, exhibit the pro
gress and improvement that have beer, made in
Southern Agiiculture. Improved stock or im
proved varieties of piants and agricultural sta
ples, were formerly to be found only on the
plantations or farms ot the comparatively weal
thy—they now grace and enrich the humble
patrimony of many a hardy yeoman. The aver
age productiveness ot our land, and the average
yield ot each crop, per acre, have also been deci
dedly increased, both in this State and your
own, within the last ten years, and the result is
attributable, in great part, to the application of
awakened an intelligent minds to the subject.
The press generally have done much—the agri
cultural press, (which has been represented ably
here, by Chambers, Summer, Peabody, Red
mond, &c..) has done, much, and such fairs as
that just closed, have also accomplished much.
The peacelul and practical occupations of the
farmer, confine him chiefly to his own ground,
and therefore prevent agriculture from enjoying
the benefit of that attrition of mind and contin
ual intercourse which improves other proles
sions. But for these fairs, agricultural associa
tions and kindred schemes, the art of farming
would therefore remain stationary, or improve
very slowly, and its improvements would be con
fined to the first designers or discoverers. It is
somewhat strange that agriculture, man’s first,
and noblest, and most universal occupation,should
be the last to feel the stimulus of new improve
ments and discoveries, but thus it is. Every
body farms, boils coffee, or makes a beefsteak;
yet how very few can do either well.
Although the “ Fair” is dor e, and now num
bered with the things that were, it by no means
foilow’s that w 7 e are done with the Fair. Its
importance and interest, and the variety of top
ics it suggests, justify us in recurring to it—not
lor purposes of merely technical or descriptive
details, but to extract its moral, and hold up for
the public benefit the lessons it inculcates. The
great objects oi' such Associations as this now
flourishing in Georgia, or others of a similar char
acter once known in Carolina, we take to be
these; an improvement directly in the modes
and results of tillage—a development and multi
plication of our home resources; and as connec
ted with and accompanying these ends, an ele
vation and appreciation of the farmer’s calling.
October 26.
Asew 7 notes, on matters not directly connect
ed with the late Fair, may not be unwelcome to
your readers, many of whom take a deep inter
est in all that concerns this flourishing city.
It was remarked by some present, that’Geor
gia, considering her fertility of resources in that
respect, was worse represented as to numbers in
editors and politicians, than in any other ani
mated form. Os tbe latter class, scarcely a pro
minent representative was present; of the tor
mer, but a very few; but these few enjoyed
themselves, and foimed associations, around
which memory will long love to linger. You
have been informed of the agreeable little ex
cursion, which a tew fortunate editors enjoyed to
the residence of Col. John Mileedge, and you
have also observed a brief account in the Con
stitutionalist 4" Republic, of the sayings and do
ings of a lew, who had the good fortune to set
down to matter not always found on an editor’s
table—a first rate dinner, which was furnished
by Simpson, of tbe Planters’ Hotel—a new
house lately ojened, and supplied with the la
test inventions and improvements in hoteldom.
The prime minister and chief superintendent is
Maj. John Nickerson, a brother of the Nicker
son of your Mills House, and like him well vers
ed in the art and mystery of the “hostelrie.”
On Tuesday evening, another treat was afforded
which partook somewhat of a more elaborate
character, as the close of the Fair had left the
guests more at leisure to devote themselves to
society and enjoyment. On this occasion, a se
lect and elegantly furnished supper was provided
by Dr. Spear, of the well known United States ,
and in addition to several of the members ot the
pi ess, named in a former letter, there were pre
sent other invited guests, including Dr. W E.
Dearing, the Mavor, and some of his munici
pal subjects. Ihe nature ot the entertainment,
and the social informal character given to the
festivities by the number and relations of the
guests, precludes all formal reports, and indeed,
who cares abou' any reports ot a good game
dinner, save those furnished by the rattle of the
knives and the popping of the corks? The en
tertainment was, indeed. an long to be
remembered by the happy participants; the din
ner being a first rate affair, the company but
large enough for variety and good cheer, with
out forma ity or restraint, and the whole spiced
by the presence ot the landlord and host, Dr
John VV. Spear, who, besides setting out a table
in good style, knows well how to “set the table
in a roar.” being a “fellow of infinite jest,” and
ever ready to contribute his quota in the shape
of wit. song, sentiment or anecdote. The
agreeable commodities circulated indeed in good
abundance, and the party did not adjourn until
an early hour on the following morning. It
was with reluctance even then, that theyVans
planted themselves from such a cheerful soil
having, like the strawberries of the president of
the least, become perfectly “acclimated,” and
showing every promise ot being ever bearing
The company were enlivened at a late “our
of this genial little feast by the entrance of two
most welcome guests—Mr. Crisp and Mr. Shri
val. Ihe latter gentleman is well known to
your music-loving community, as the favorite
tenor oi the Seguin troupe, and having retired
from public and professional life, is now““pursu
ing the ev en tenor of his way,” as a resident
farmer and planter of Richmond county. He
has been induced to come out, however, as a
special favor and compliment, to his old friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Crisp, and will appear, for the
benefit of Mr. C., in “Rob Roy”—the three tak
ing the characters they sustained in Edinburgh,
in the first dramatic presentation of this piece.’
Mr. Crisp, en passant , has been most favorably
known to our play-going population for several
years, and all here who have before known and
admired him, have been much gratified at the
success which has attended him and his well se
lected corps,and at the marked evidences he af
fords ot a constant and assiduous study of his
profession, of which it may be truly said, “ Vita
brevis , ars longa .” In the selection, and the get
ting up ot pieces; in the style and character of
the entertainments, and in all the conditions of
histrionic displays generally, the Augustans.
through Mr. Crisp’s exertions and management,

American provincial theatre. It need not be
said that hi 3 estimable and accomplished lady is
a leading attraction in the company, which, in
Fuller and Buxton has also two decided tiumps.

New Hat Society -An elegantly dressed
gentleman ordered m Paris, some time ago, at a
I hatter’s, twenty-five hats, ot an entirely new

tried one on, and finding that it became him

The individual who had given the order, called
punctually lor the titles, and paid cheerfully
The next Sunday, the w’eather being very fine
the hatter gave his new head-dress an airing in
i the Champs Elysees. When at the Road Point
he observed several gentlemen adorned with the'
coverings he had made. One came to him, and
said, with a peculiar wink—“A good day for
booty, this, and no beaks about!” Dear me,
thought the hatter, I should not wonder if I had
been making hats to serve as a rallying signal
to members of a secret society. Rather con
cerned, he kept on his walk. Under the Arch
ol Triumph he saw other individuals sporting
other specimens of his last new style. One came
quickly behind him, and said, ‘‘Here, put these
in your Deep : and these, and these.” He hand- I
ed him three watches, with broken chains, two \
purses and live handkerchiefs The hatter now j
saw clearly enough the sort of society with which
he was in league. He paced to the neaiest com- j
missary of police, and the twenty-five pick
pockets were speedily lodged in jail.”

SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30.
DAILY AND TRI-WEEKLY
Constitutionalist and Republic.
TERMS REDUCED.
Daily, in advance,.. $6 00.
If not paid in advance 7 00.
Tri Wrekly, in advance 4 00.
If not taid in advance 5 00.
To give a still wider circulation to the already
large and wide spread circulation of this paper,
the Proprietor offers the Daily at $6.00, and the
Tri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and
to all the present subscribers who pay up ar
rearages, if any are due, and pay one year in
advance.
Those Daily and Tri-weekly subscribers who
have paid in advance, will be duly credited at
the old rates to the Ist prox, and at the new
rates after that date.
The increased facilities by mail lor Daily and
Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every
direction, by the various Railroad lines leading
to this city, encourages the proprietor to make
this appeal for increased patronage. It is only
by a greatly increased subscription list, he can
expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni
ary loss this reduction immediately entails upon
him. He confidently relies upon the friends of
the paper to sustain this movement by their in
fluence and kind exertions.
The importance of Augusta as a leading com
mercial centre, and Depot of Agricultural pro
duce, and its facilities for disseminating intelli
gence commercial, political and miscellaneous,
will be conceded.
The value of a commercial, political, and news
Journal, properly conducted here, to those who
have facilities for receiving it daily or tri
weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. The claim
of the Constitutionalist 4r Republic to be consider
ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ot its
readers and the public.
The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the
paper in Augusta to obtain for it ue increased
city circulation.
Remittances by mail are at the risk of the
Proprietor.
Our Daily Market Reports.
We received by yesterday’s mail a letter from
Covington, signed “A Subscriber,” complaining
that we have omitted giving daily reports of our
cotton market. The fact is that there has been
so little doing in our cotton market, up to the
past week, that we could have written one line,
and kept it standing for the past three months,
after noticing the changes in the market weekly,
and given the market correctly during that pe
riod. xAs the market is now fairly opened we
will, on Tuesday next, commence our daily re
ports, giving the sales of each day up to the close
of business in the afternoon. We will also pub
lish a weekly instead of a monthly letter sheet
Price Cunent, should we meet with encourage
ment sufficient to warrant the labor. Price, 50
cents pei dozen, with the purchasers name at
tached. Those who wish to be regularly sup
plied will please leave their address at the office
before Tuesday, specifying the number ot copies
they may wish struck off.
Pelotfs Commercial School.
By the Card of this gentleman in this day’s
paper it will be seen that he will open his Com
mercial Shool, tor one term, at the Masonic Hall,
on Monday evening. As his s*ay in this city is
limited, and he will not be able to give more
than one course, we would advise our young men
engaged in commercial business, to call on him

was well spent.
Theatre—Shrival's Benefit.
Crisp’s talented company continue to draw
crowded audiences at Concert Hall. The bill
lor to-morrow night is for the benefit of our
rr usical friend Shrival, who is too well known to
our citizens to need any recommendation from us.
1 he bill is one of the most attractive offered this
season--Guy Mannering—Rough Diamond or
Cousin Joe, and sundry Ballads and Duets by Mr.
Shrival and Miss Jessaline. This bill should
draw a full house, and we would advise those
who wish good seats to secure them in the
morning.

cing ot some two hundred citizens of the neigh
borhood, who were present at the trial.

Recovery of the Hungarian Crown.—Con
nected with this affair, a curious piece of infor
mation has leaked out. General Kemper, the j
police tyrant of the Empire, has become jealous
ot the honors bestowed on the Judge Advocate,
Kargar, and has published in The Soldaten/reand .
a semi-official account of the discovery. He 1
openly slates that the Hungarian Ex-Minister,!
Szemere, in Paris, the well known enemy of
Kossuth, out ofspite against the Governor, gave
the necessary information, which arrived at
Venice on the 28th of August, and led to the dis
covery'.

General Convention. Rev. Tbos. F Scott, of
Georgia, was then elected Missionary Bishop

Failure in New York. —The New York
Journal of Commerce of the 25th inst., says :
We regret to announce the suspension on Sa
turday of Messrs. Mathews, Finigin & Fox, a
highly respectable house in the grocery commis
sion business. Losses, through the failure of the
sugar refiners, Diamond & Co , at Bristol, R. 1.,
already noticed, together with other losses at the
West, have led to their embarrassment, and in
the present stringent state of the money market
they could not go on with their payment.
Major General Twiggs is it said, has been tel -

Death of the Sleeping Man.— Cornelius
Vrooman, who has been asleep for five years,
died at his brother’s residence, in Clarkston, N.
Y., on the 17th inst. While on exhibition in
New York, he was taken sick ,which seemed to
induce a wakeful state for a short period, and
then a stupid condition, with intervals of wake
fulness, until he was brought home on the 14th.
It is stated that he talked very little, inquiring
after his mother, who had been dead two years,
his father and brothers, whom he seemed par
tially to recognize. He complained of great in
ternal heat, and soreness of his throat and stom
ach. On the morning of the day of his death he
called for food, and ate a hearty meal, and from
that time seemed to be in pain until about 2 o’-
clock, P. M., when he died without a struggle.
His age was thirty-four years.

Interesting from California.
We are indebted to G. W. Henderson, of Ad

of J. W. Sullivan, for full files of California pa
pers to the Ist of October, brought by the steam
er Northern Light, which put into Norfolk on
1 uesday, short of coal and provisions, on her
way to New York from San Juan.
She brings the passengers, mails and specie
brought down to San Juan by the steamer Pa
cific. fel'he latter steamer, with the steamer
Panama, for Panama, left San Francisco on the
Ist. The Northern Light brings $1,500,000 in
gold. Among the passengers is Maj. Fitzgerald
of the United States Army.
The specie shipments per Pacific and Panama
reach the sum of $2,559,636, of which $1,493,-
352 was sent by the Nicaragua Line, and sl,-
066,284 via Isthmus of Panama.

I From the San Francisco Journal of Commerce ]
A Summary of the Fortnight's News.
Since the sailing of the steamers of the 15th,
we have enjoyed uninterrupted fair weather]
and although there has not been the usual acti. ity
in many branches of business, the general pros
perity of the city and State is a subject of con
gratulation to all. Building in Sail Francisco is
going on with unparalleled energy throughout
the length and breadth of city ; elegan”. and
substantial brick, granite and freestone structures
are going up. comparing in beauty and in all
other points, favorabl} with the best in America
From the interior the news is highly favorable;
the gtain crops aie all harvested and though they
have been somewhat it jured with the rust, the
average yield is equal to the expectations of the
agriculturalist. The crop-of potatoes is also of
good quality though not equal in quantity to
some preceding years. The agitation of the Pa
cific railroad ques ion is still pursued with ener
gy. Meetings on the subject have been held
lately at various places in this city. The an
nouncement by the last mails that a division had
taken place on this question in the Federal Gov
ernment, has excited universal chagrin in Cali
fornia. We do not hesitats to say that in Cali
fornia that political party only that supports this
measure at the seat of Government will be sup
ported at any future election. There is uninter
rupted health in San Francisco: we find that du
ring the past fourteen days there have been but
31 interments.
For amusements, we have no lack in San
Francisco. The Rousset Family are stiil at the
American Theatre, drawing good houses. The
San Francisco Theatre has opened, under the
able management of Mrs. Sinclair, who, having
secured the services of an efficient theatrica7
company, is nightly doing the best standard
plays, with burlesques for afterpieces. Her new
theatre on Montgomery street wi»l be the finest
ever built in California, and will be completed
by the Ist of November. At the Adelphia
Theatre twice a week the French Opera is done
very creditably.
From the Sandwich Islands, the news is of
the gravest importance. Our advices thence are
to the 27th of August. It appears that the King
has refused to abolish the Ministry of Judd and
Amstrong, notwithstanding the wMitten petition
signed by 260 American residents, and 12,000
native Islanders. Seditious speeches and pub
locations are common, and it is thought tbs revo
lutionary tendency is such, that either the Judd
dynasty or the Hawaiian Goverement must fall.
Not the least important fact is that the Czar of
Russia has turned his attention to the Islands,
and it is even now rumored that 1,000 families’
of Russian emigrants, under his protection, are
on their way overland to Kamschatka, with the
Sandwich Islands as their ultimate destination.
We shall await the next news from the Islands
with considerable interest.
The introduction of the first magnetic tele
graph in Califarnia was celebrated on the 22d
instant, at Point Lobo3. Messrs. Sweeny &
Baugh, of the Merchants’ Exchange, have com
pleted their line eight miles in length, between
their rooms in the city, and their outer telegraph
station, at Point Lobos.
Rabun Gap Survey—Tunnel.
The engineers on the Rabun Gap Road, who
commenced the survey ot the Tennessee section
of the route at this city, a few days ago, reached
Maryville early last week, and were prosecuting
the survey with success and expedition. They
were, we learn, directing their survey to the
Chilhowie Mountain for the purpose of passing
lound it. Whether they design making any ex
amination of the “ Tunnel route” by Montvale
or not we are not advised, but w T e presume the
whole ground will he reconnoitered and the
most eligible route adopted.
There are those who think that advantages
would be gained in distance and otherwise, by
| passing through the mountain by Montvale,
which would more than counterbalance the cost
of tunneling. The Tunnel route is represented
to be about seven miles nearer than that around
the point of the mountain, w'hich, at a moderate
calculation could be a saving of $140,000. The
Tunnel route also passes directly by Montvale
Springs, one of the best watering places in the
entire south. But the saving of $140,000 or
even twice that amount in the construction of
the road, and the increased facilities to southern
ers to attend the Chaleybeate Springs at Mont
vale, and the consequent increase in the amount
ot travel upon it, are mere considera ions com
pared w ith the saving of distance on a great road
like the Rabun Gap. As near an approach to
the air line as possible, is the true policy of;
Railroad budding. Its is obvious how very soon
the cost ot carriage over seven additional miles
ol distance of the immense amount of freights
not to mention ravel which must passovir'a
great hue ot Railway connecting the southern
seaboard not only with East Tennessee, but
with the entire great west, would more than
counterbalance any reasonable cost of tunneling
We hope the survey may be made and the prac
ticability ot the route determined.— Knoxville
Sentinel, 26th inst.
The Frost.
Last Sunday night, we had what was so much
desired and so much prayed tor by our citizens
a fine rain, and as a necessary consequence a
heavy frost on Monday morning. If yellow fe
ver cannot exist after a heavy frost, then are we
free from this fatal scourge. It was pleasant to
look in the faces of our friends on Monday morn
ing, they looked so bright and cheerful. The
weather, we think, is favorable for the final ex
tirpation of the scourge, if, indeed, it not al
ready expelled. Tuesday was cold and bracing.
To-day, Wednesday, it threatens rain, and we
expect hereafter cold, bracing and healthy weath
