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. October 20. ******* 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 ; away or looked displeased, when his summons : w 7 as answered at the time agreed on, by the lol | lowing persons : Col. R. W. Young, U. S. Re view, N. Y. i W. McFarlane, Southern Literary Messenger, j Richmond, Va. Col. A. G. Summer, Southern Agriculturist, : Liurensville, S. C.. formerly ot the Columbia ; South-Caroliman, but now pieferring “ potatoes and porkers to politics,”—author of the able Ad ! dress at the last Annual Fair ot the S C. A. As sociation at Macon, Ga. I Col. P. Simkins, Edgefield Advertiser. ! C. A. Peabody, Esq , Soil of the South, Co | lumbus, Ga. j R. W. Habersham, Esq., Self-Instructor, j Charleston, S. C. R. A. Whyte, Georgia Home Gazette, former ly of the Augusta Republic. Although a bach i elor, he pays weekly visits to a large circle ot in | telligent female faiends who never let him de part till, with Eve-light curiosity, they gather all he can tell them. "Some think that one so ably editing a Home Gazette, should establish a home of his own mats celena nest pas noire affaire. Jas. Gardner, Augusta Constitutionalist & Re public. 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. James M. Chambers, Esq., “Soil of the South,” Columbus, Geo. Knowles, Esq., Southern Recorder, Mil ledgeville, Georgia. T. T. Christian, Esq., Times, Dalton, Geor gia. 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, have enjoyed a treat seldom furnished by an 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. , r £ e a ' r ’ induced other entertainments, ; the Campbell Minstrels making a most success tu week, and all places and public halls being hi led night, yby some attraction or other. It was truly a great week, and in the generally expressed wish, that “we may all live to see the IV'ii f , u » us * a fair and enjov it,” and especially hat the cralfc paragraphical, may live to meet Hm s Sh tV e pi such as those at the SanJ - Hii s the Planters’ Hotel, and the United States Hotel,your correspondent heartily joins. B. 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 ! [ or,x ] Vhe mak « r * they were finished, tried one on, and finding that it became him ! roade a twenty-sixth lor his own personal use.’ 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.” Court of General |Session s . —Mi. John Dunovant.jr., (against whom an indictment lor , murder had been issued, and placed in the hands °f the Grand Jury,) has been discharged, the Jury .'ailing to find a true bill. W illiam H. Rice and Donald D. Monroe, in dicted for Grand Larceny, plead guilty, and are awaiting the sentence of the Court. Daniel T. Shepherd, indicted for the murder of Wm. Hodge, will be brought up for trial on Tuesday next. True Bili,. —We learn that in the case of the State vs. Cassin, for murder of a slave, the Grand Jury found a true bill on yesterday. —Charleston Standard , 29 th. 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 at once. He gave a course ot instruction in this city last year, and all who attended it, that we have conversed with, were satisfied their money 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. Health of the City.—The Report of the Savannah Boaid of Health shows only eleven deaths for the week, in a population of twenty three thousand, or only one to two thousand in habitants. Os the deaths reported, five were of children—two persons committed suicide, and two died of fits. The editors of the Hillsboro’ (N. C.) Recorder have been shown fine specimens of copper ta ken from the lands owned by Mr. Stubbins and Mr. Cates, about six miles south-west of Hills boro’. The Recorder , thinks it will be found that Orange is as rich in copper ore as any por tion of the State. Sale of Horses. —The sale of horses at the | National Exhibition at Springfield, Mass., took place on Friday. There were but few horses sold, and they are reported to have brought less than their value. There were horses of the Morgan, Black Hawk, and Cassius M. Clay breed, the bids for which ranged from $125 to $1,450. Ihe highest price was given for American Eagle,-’ a three year old colt, sired by the ‘"C. M. Clay.” Trial and Acquittal oe Miss Shaw'.—A young woman, named Shaw, who shot Christian G. Alartin through the head last week, near Louisville, Ky., ba3 been acquitted. It was pro ! ven on the trial that Martin th.eatened to kill h£r unless she signed a paper in which was a confession which would blast her reputation for ever. The jury, with the full case before them acquitted her at once amid the generous rejoi cing ot some two hundred citizens of the neigh borhood, who were present at the trial. The Protestant Episcopal House of Delegates has resolved to hold its next triennial session in Baltimore. In the matter of the Kohne bequest a rseolution was passed declaring it inexpedient at this time to decide the question between the dioceses of Pennsylvania and South Carolina as to which of them is entitled to the nomination of the additional trustees to the General Theo logical Seminary. 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'. In the Protestant Episcopal Convention in N. lark on Saturday, the proposed amendment to the constitution in relation to the mode of trying bishops, was adopted, after the withdiawal ot th- proposition for the continuance of the joint committee, to report upon the subject at the next General Convention. Rev. Tbos. F Scott, of Georgia, was then elected Missionary Bishop of Oregon. The convention probably adjourned sine die on Monday last. 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.

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. j From the Baltimore Sitn ] Interesting from California. We are indebted to G. W. Henderson, of Ad ams & Co.’s Express, and to the Express Agents 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. San Francisco’s first contribution to the New Orleans relief fund came forward in the mail steamer. The amount thus far collected was SIO,OOO. 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 er•—Selma ( Ata) Reporter 21th inst. Jack Frost. —This old acquaintance paid us his first visit on last Monday night.

Sure enough it has come, and with it ice ! We are now in the midst of frosty mornings— fires look and feel comfortable—cloaks and over coats are in demand. We have no doubt the heavy frost has very materially injured the cot ton —at least half the green bolls, now on the stalks, are certainly killed West Point (Geo) Beacon, 21th inst.

Aii exemplary and highly educated old lady died in the city alms.house a lew days ago, who formerly for 25 years was an eminent tracher in the city, and amassed a fortune of $50,000, which she invested in Fire Insurance stock, in 1835. H r losses by the great fire ruined her fortune and prospect, and too proud to apply to friends , she went to the ci’y alms house, where she has lived some years, and died as stated.
