The Circassian Slav© Trad*.
i It ies, singular circumstance that the only im
portant consequence which has resulted from
the ascendency of the Western Powers, in the (
waters of the Black Sea, is the revival in the (
tiaffic in Ciicaseian women. This infamous and
int uman trade was interrupted by the Russian i
blockade ot the Circassian coast of the Black
spa, and since the withdrawal of that pressure,
it has revived, and is now pursued with unex
ampled activity. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the British Parliament by the
Bishop of Oxford, who produced letters from the
s Caucasus and Turkey, to show that the traffic
in Circassian women was flourishing with the
countenance ot the allies and* t*he connivance of
Austria:
•‘At present,” said a letter from Budane,“ the i
only trade that may he said to be carried on here
is that in women, and this sterns to be extraor
dinarily active at present, from the large prices
obtainable in Constantinople, and the removal
of all obstacles I have been told from good au
thority that a girl bought for fifteen purses here, j
is sold in Constantinople for forty. Numbers of
Jittie boats arrive all along the coast from Trebi- j
zond almost every day. They haul themselves j
up on the beach, and spread the sails on the sides
ot the boat to form tents ; here the captain sits,
and the natives bring down to him their girls to
gg exchange against his cargo, which generally con
sists ot calicoes, prints, and other stuff's, and of j
salt.”
Another letter from the Bosphorus said ; j
I regrelflrrfate that the slave trade is greatly
on the increase here. Every boat that arrives j
L from the ports of Abasia brings in 8 or 10 girls ;
£ or boys destined tor the Constantinople marxet. j
It is right to add, that when the coast was
blockaded by the Russians, this traffic necessari
ly ceased. But now that the communications
with Trebizond are free, the rush to dipose of
daughters, sons, sisters, &c., is immense. I re
gret, also, to mention that the Austrian steamers I
do not raise objections to convey the slaves to
Constantinople, and every boat takes 80 or 100 !
H&down.
The New York Tribune publishes a letter
from Trebizond, which gives a morecircumstan- j
tial statement of the condition of the business.—
The writer says ; “a few days ago there arrived
at the quarantine of Trebizond about two hun- ,
dred Circassians with a live cargo of great vaii- !
ety, but which they found some difficulty in dis- j
posing of by reason of the pecuniary straits in '
which purchasers are just now placed. The tra
ders, who are the steady friends of Shamyl, the
Mohammed ot the Caucasus, and the bitter and
determined enemies of Nicholas, whom in their
figurative language, they call the Vulture of the
Snows, had for sale forty packages of human j
flesh. They were made up of a dozen children :
of from four to eight years old, ami ol thirty fe
males ranging between fifteen and thirty.
The quarantine doctor requested me to accom
pany hun on his visit to this strange spectacle, j
The superintendent ot the Lazaretto made the
merchants and their wares stand in a line, so
thatyi e had an opportunity of making a thorough
examination ot the parties. The Circassians *
werejall very fine men, large, tall and strong. —
Their I figure was as exquisitely beautiful as that
' oT a woman ; their hands and leet were small ;
g their complexion was swarthy—produced by
exposure to the mountain air—but their counte
nances. notwithstanding, bore the impress of I
gentleness and manly courage; their chests were
full and rounded, and their step as proud as that
of a monarch upon the stage. Their costume
wasjEvery picturesque. It consisted ot a great
Jp**Coat ornamented with lamb skin, and which fit
ted closely, of trousers cut alter the Tuikisb '
‘ fashion, and made of light colored cloth ;of a cap 1
of gray felt, with a band of lambskin, the wool
of long and curled.
They wore red slippers without stockings, and
a cloak of lambskin or felt, with which they j
wrapped themselves with the utmost dignity.—
After having visited the merchants we ap- j
proached the individuals they had for sale as
near as the guaids would permit us. The lit
tle Circassians and the females were ranged be
fore the doors of the cells, and Irom their anx
ioesrair seemed to enquire whether we were
-about to purchase them. The children were
beautiful both in form and in countenance. Yet
the latter did not exhibit that infantile grace
which is so observable in Europeans. They
had an expression of gravity, not unmixed with
care, which almost made us regard them as little
men wi,o had already experienced the trials and
difficulties of life. Young as they were, they
seemed as it they had already passed through
the term of their existence. Their took
was that ol deep reflection, their gait was slow
and staid, their stare was piercing arid inquisi
tive, their mouth pinched and inquisitive.
.■/;*. AH these peculiarities fi led us with as much
- surprise as sorrow, tor they lorced on us the con
viction that this anxious air or prococious intel
lect sprang Irom tear ot the future or from regiet
•i being separated trom those mountain scenes
w'hich they had so tar passed their youth
-—\ ey were ciad in tattered clothes of no particu
t cut or color and wore no covering on their
w feet. Their food was the same as that
of their parents, and of the coarsest and least
egg substantial kind. It consisted of millet cases
and of spring water, and notwithstanding this
innutritions fare they a l l had blooming cheeks
and the appearance of health and strength. We
i next proceeded to make a close inspection of the
females. They were, with the exception ot two
young girls, ail considerably advanced in years
and des'ined to become servants or Oath tenders.
Their faces, which had a faded air, produced un
doubtedly more by fatigue and hardship than by
age, bore an expiession of profound sadness and
ot vague inquietude. Their looks seemed to in
terrogate us as to ofir intentions respecting him.
T v would suppose that they w-shed to fathom
our characters in order to foresee their ovv,, des
tiny, and when they saw that our visit was one j
merely ot curiosity, they cast their eyes upon
the ground and waited until they should heal- ,
lowed to withdraw. One of these females was
exceeding beautilul. Bhe might be fifteen or
sixteen years old, the look she gave us was that
ot a proud anu haughty soul, but in her manner
there was nothing of that pensive agitation
which we had remarked in her compa dons and
Seven in the little children. Her large, open and
lustrious eyes were expressive oi a mind that
was at once both bold and calm. She no doubt
imagined that her beauty would be her protection
r arid that even her future master could not help
; but feel its influence. It would indeed be diffi
v. to give anything like an adeqnate descrip-
of this woman. But I have seen portraits
nrhich have a strong resemblance to her, they
Were, however, the works of great masters,
which 1 then believed to have been the creations
of their fancy and not the representations ot any j
burrfan beings.
A great master doe* not, however, deal merely
in the fanciful; he delineates what he sees or
what he recollec’s that he has seen. What I ad
mired in this young woman was not so much her
exquisite proportions, her grace and her charm- I
ing countenance, as her noble and qreenly atti
gjud©.* Her alien was something like that of Cle
opatra; had she a diadem on her head one could
have taken her for one of those queens vve read
of in ancient history, or had she on an oaken
E chaplet, she might have passed for a priestess
■ among the Druids. This lovely mountain maid,
who had passed her life amid the snows of the
Caucasus, and whose lot it may be to become one
day the wife of a bulian, wore a sony garment
of coarse blue cloth, which was faded and much
stained. It was made after the Turkish fashion, !
open in front, and exhibited to view an under- j
garment very much soiled, but embroided with
silk of many colors. This garment showed so
well the graceful development of the bust that
yuu.would have almost sworn that it was pasted
:%(£'uer.is quite clear that there must be some
' superior seamtresses in the Caucasus. She wore
a white muslin veil, cast back, which was stain- j
©d and torn, but so attached as to envelope her
likes vestal when she pleased.”
The servitude of the African negro is the ne- I
& smeary consequence of an inferiority in physi-
HgaSili, moral dud mental organization. As the
Bfeaptmt j* condemned to crawl upon fiis belly, ,
in like manner is the negro doomed to a condi
tion of subjection and servitude by the very
laws of its nature. Hence to the right think
ing mind there is nothing shocking ot unnatural
in African slavery, but on the contrary, a mani
fest conformity to the Divine purpose and to the
conditions of social well-being. But this traffic
in Circassian women violates all the laws of
reason and humanity, and is therefore justly ob
noxious to the censure of the civilized world.
When the negro, inconsequence of indolent na
ture and a depraved intellect, revolts from the pri
mal, universal law of labor, it is just and proper
that he should be driven to work by the lash of a
more active and energetic will; else he would
sink into helpless idiocy and barbarism. Slave
ry exalts and civilizes the negro. The Circassi
an people are not an interior race. On the con
trary, they exhibit the highest type rs physi
cal development, the nearest approach to the
perfection of beauty, and the noblest moral and
intellectual qualities. There is no distinction
ot color, no torm of feature, no degradation of
character to mark them as the predestined vic
tims of servitude. 1 hey wear no badge of
slavery. The men are brave, hardy, enterpris
mg, active and aspiring. The women realize
living from the poetic ideal of grace and beau
ty* In this case slavery is a violent perversion
ot the purposes ot the creator, and a rude out
rage ot the proprieties and Harmonies of nature.
Moreover when we consider the depraved and
debasing service tor which these fair victims
ot lust and rapacity are designed, w*e may well
wonder that France and England, the vain glo
rious champions of civilization, should permit
the revival of the infamous and inhuman traffic
in Circassian women, which even the barba
rous Russ was too Christian to tolerate.

Horrible Murder.— We understand that a
man named Wm R. Armstrong, living near
Spring Town. Polk county, murdered his wife
on the evening of Tuesday, the 18th ult., by
shooting her through the head. She was hold
ing her infant in her aims at the time She
died instantly. The monster has been arrested
and committed to jail at Benton, and it is to be
hoped he will be made to undergo the extreme
penalty of the law. — Winchtter (Tenn.) Demo

Extensive Conflagration.—Loss About one j
Million Dollars.
Our city was visited yesterday by one of the \
most destructive fires that has ever occurred here. !
II ou t about 11 o’clock, in the house No. j
91 Tchoupitouias street, the lower stores of which i
were occupied by W. S. Wright & Co., and the |
two upper stories by E. J. Hart & Co., who also
occupied the adjoing building. It was in the
upper part ot this Louse that the fire originated,
the particular manner of which we have not
learned. It is said that some of E. J. Hart &
Co.’s men wer» sealing bottles, and that the fire
in some way communicated to the liquor they
were bottling. At any rate, the first intimation
” r igbt & Co. had of the fire was the flames
poll ing down Ihe hatchway. They barely
managed to save their books and papers when
the whole building was in a blaze. By thistime
several fire companies had arrived, but they were
unable to get water, the fire plugs being perfect
ly exhausted. Word was immediately sent to
the Water Works, but from some cause or other
nearly an hour elapsed belore the water came.
This delay caused much comment, and the Water
Works Company was censured very freely. We
learn from the superintendent that the plug* in
the back part of the city were all running when
the fire occurred, and notwithstanding tnere is
an ordinance requiring ail the plugs to be closed
on such occasions, except those in the immediate
neighborhood ot the fire, yet these plugs remain
ed opened until the company sent around men
and had them closed. After this was done there
was no lack of water at the fire.
But in the interim the fire had spread with
fearful rapidity, and had crossed Tchoupitouias
street and extended back to Foucher street. The
heat was most intense. The day itself was one
of the hottest of the season, and this, united to
the fire, almost drove the firemen from their en
gines. The gutters were filled with oil and
other inflammable material, and many of the
engines had their suction pipes in them, increas
ing rather than subduing the flames.
The heat was, for a couple of hours, so intense
that it was difficult for the firemen to remain at
the brakes more than a few moments at a time,
and several persona were sunstruck. The crowd
was immense, and as usual, greatly obstructed the
efforts ot the firemen and ot the many persons
who were busily engaged in removing property,
by hand or on drays. Mayor Lewis was on the
ground and exerted himself to preserve order arid
secure prompt action, but we must say that
though the firemen worked well, ther€ appeared
to be but very little of tfiat concert ot action
which is indispensable in so extensive a confla
gration.
We were sorry, too, to see towards the close
of the fire, a spirit of rowdyism manifested by
two companies, which is almost the first of the
kind that ever stained the fair annals of our Fire
Department. We allude to the fight that took
place in Commerce street. We are notable to
say vyho orignated the difficulty, but it is to the
best interests and the credit of both companies
that the affair should be strictly inquired into,
and the offending parties propeily reprimanded.
Our Fire Department has hitherto justly boasted
of tae amiable disposition evinced by the com
panies towards each other; we trust it will at once
put a stop to proceedings that will otherwise
soon acquire for it a reputation as disgraceful as
that of some of its Northern brethren.
The flames speedily made their way into the
row of buildings on Magazine, between Poydras
and Lafayette, occupied by the well-known hous
es cf Martin, Owen & Cobb, Shultz, Hadden k
Latting, Woodruff & Co., Parmele & Bro., &c.
The walls ot these buildings had been generally
thought to be fire-proof, but they certainly did
not deserve that credit. Pork, lard, bacon, gun
ny hags, liquors, rope, and such materials, when
all in flames at one, are strong tests of fire proof
walls, and these speedily faded. Fortunately
they fell without injuring any one, and gave
greater facilities to 'get at the fire. Wm. H.
Cook & Co.’s store, at the corner of Tchoupi
touias and Lafayette streets, and opposite Con
verse & Co.’s large establishment, was not so for
tunate. The wall fell with a tremendous crash,
burying three persons in the ruins. They were
all extricated, and we heard that one of them
had since died. We did not learn their names.
The flames soon crossed Commerce street, and
caught the houses extending through to Maga
zine street. Those on the upper side of Lafayette
street were also in flames, and several ot these on
the levee side oi Tchoupitouias street were burn
ing. The fire raged with great virulence lor
fully five hours belore it was subdued,consuming
property valued at about a million of dollars.
We append a list of the sufferers by this destruc
tive conflagration: On the swamp side of
Tchoupitouias street, commencing at the corner
of Lafayette ami running towards Poydras street,
Converse Hi Co., groces and liquor dealers;
Francke & Danneel, Western produce dealers;
W. 8. Wiight & Co., commission merchants; E.
J. Hart & Co., dealers in groceries, drugs, chemi
cals, &c.; and Keep, Bard & Co., Western produce
and commission merchants.
On the levee side of Tchoupitouias, commenc
ing at Lalayette street, W n. H. Cook & Co.,
Western produce dealers; Gordon &c Foster,
flour merchants; John Hurley & Co., commis
sion merchants ; Haines He Co , produce mer
chants; and E. M. D »ley & Co., commission
merchants.
On Commerce street, in the rear of the houses
just mentioned, N. Overtori, commission mer
c .ant and We>tern produce dealer; Stanton &
Co., ice merchants ; and A. Thompson, Western
produce broker
On the south eastern corner of Tchoupitouias
and La ayette streets, R. W. Milbank, commis
sion and forwarding merchant, and Chas. Han
na, Western produce dealer.
On Lalayette street, Kerr& Poincy, flour deal
ers and commission merchants.
On Lafayette street, opposite Converse & Co.’s,
J. M. Savage & Co., commission merchants.
On the upper corner of Magazine and Lafay
ette streets, two four story buildings, belonging
to Mr. Florence, occupied by Beatty; Liggett &
Co., and A. W. Walker, commission merchants;
and a rear warehouse, occupied, by J. M. Savage
Ik Co.
On the lower corner of the same streets, J. W.
Stanton He Co.,‘shipping and commission mer
chants; and in their rear, on Foucher 6treet, J.
W. Ross & Co., commission merchants; on Ma
gazine street, Martin, Owen Hi Cobb, commis
sion merchants ; Shultz, Hadden & Latting, Wes
tern produce dealers; John O. Woodruff & Co.,
commission merchants; Graham & Bucking
hams, Western produce dealers; and Parmele &
Bro , commission merchants.
We have stated that the loss by this fire is es
timated at a million of dollars. Ol this, about
two thirds was covered by insurance. Some of |
our insurance companies have suffered severely,
but we trust and believe none more than they
can stand. The lack of water in the start was
the cause of this great loss. Had there been a
sufficiency of water when the engines first reach
ed the spot, not more than two and probably not j
more than oi>e house would have been burned.
YVe commend this fact to the attention of the
city authorities. Another thing is the want of
a proper fire alarm. Nearly an hour elapsed
from the time the fire commenced before the
alarm was spread generally throughout the city.
With a telegraphic fire alairn, and a proper sup
j ply of water, such destructive fires could scarcely
j occur.
! In our brief and imperfect notice of this fire in
; our evening paper of yesterday, we stated that
there was a rumor that some kegs of powder bad
exploded in the store of Converse 4k Co. We ;
are happy now to state that the rumor was false, !
as there was not a pound of powder in the store ;
at the time of the fire.
A number of petty pilferers were arrested du
ring the progress of the fire, and several persons i
who were sun sfruck or injmed by the fight I
among the firemen were taken off by their ;
friends.
So ended this great fire, and we trust it may
be long ere we have to chronicle a similar oi.e ;
in New Orleans.
Mail Robbery.— Dr. J. C. Patterson, Post i
Master at McWhirtersville, in this county was
arrested by Gen. Clements, U. S. Marshal, and j
brought before a Commissioner McMurry yes- j
terday morning on a charge ol robbing the mail.
Ihe charge was sustained and Patt rson com
mitted to jail to await his trial before the Federal
Court.
We understand that money had been frequent
ly missed from the mails on that line for some
time past. The fact was communicated to Col.
Martin, the indefatigable Special Agent of the
Government, who immediately placed himself
on that line, and by a stiatigem peculiar to the
Mail Agents, succeeded iu detecting the rascali- j .
ty in a pretty conclusive manner, as we under- j
stand. McWhirtersville is some six miles from I
Nashville, on the Lebanon turnpike. We un- M
derstand that Patterson has not resided there er
! in this county more than two years, and we ]
j know nothing of his former whereabouts or '
t family connection.
| Special Mission from Russia—Arrival of
1 Dr. Thos, Cottman with Important Des
patches for Washington.
Among the passengers by the Indiana, which
arrived at New York, on Wednesday, from
Havre, is Dr. Cottman, an American gentleman,
(a native of Maryland.) who has lived for several
months at St. Petersburgh, and who has been
entrusted by the Czar with a mission ol impor
tance to this country. The friendly feelings
which the Emperor Nicholas entertains toward*
the United States are said to be very decided, but
he d-sires that the kindly relations shall be
cemented by a commercial treaty ; and it is to
effect this that he has invested Dr. Cottman
with full powers to treat with our government.
Dr. Cottman has already forwarded his despatches
to Washington, and would himself arrive in
that city on Friday. He will also propose to our
government the purchase of Sitka, on terms sard
to be very favorable. The Herald says:
Dr. Cottman speaks in the highest terms of
all the members of the imperial family, and ex
presses the greatest admiration, not only for the
talents of the Emperor, but lor his character,
which has been the subject of so much vilifica
tion in the English press. It is impossible, he
says, for U 9 to obtain correct accounts of tbe
progress of the war through the prejudiced me
diums ot the English newspapers, and he asserts
that so far from the allied powers being success
ful, they have been repulsed in almost every at
tack made by the combined fleets. He visited
Cronstadt, on his way to *his country, and du
ring his stay there, they did not even venture
within reach of its guns, although they had an
nounced their determination to annihilate the
whole city as an example. The accounts which
are published about the insanity df the Czar, are,
he tells us, equally false; and instead of his ex
hibiting a disposition to renounce his claims on
Turkey, he has expressed his determination in
the mo-t emphatic manner to force her to recog
nize them, though all Europe were combined to
prevent him.
Dr. C. luither states that the Emperor treats
ever American who enters Russia with the great
est hospitality, and affords him every possible
facility for visiting every pait of his dominions.
There ate a‘ present a large number of Ameri
cans employed by him in most responsible posi
tions, and he holds lorth the greatest induce
ments to all who desire to enter his service.
In regard to the report that was so extensive
ly circulated about the property of Sir Hamilton
Seymour (late English Minister to St. Peters
burg.) having been confiscated by the Czar, Dr.
Cottman says there is not a particle o’ truth in
it.
In relation to Tin key, the Czar says he will
withdraw his troops only when the Sultan agrees
to guarantee the rights of all Christians in his do
minions. He does not miscalculate the force that
will be brought to bear upon him; but with his
great resources he is confident of ultimate success
He looks forward to the adoption of a commercial
treaty between Russia and our country, and the
purchase of Sitka, with no little anxiety, as he is
very desirous of keeping up friendly terms with
us during the present war. In speaking of our
relations with Spain, he says he considers that
Cuba is ours by right of her geographical position,
and that as she commands tbe entrance to the
Gulf, we should take her, whether the Spanish
government is willing or not.
Dr. Cottman, who owns a large plantation in
Louisiana, some time since visited Russia through
curiosity, and was treated in the mo3t kindly
manner by tbe Emperor, who readily gave him
an imperial order to all the institutions an s places
of note in the countiy. With this order he visi
ted Cronstadt, where he remained six weeks
with Gen. Daha, the commander-in-chief of the
northern division of the army. He subsequently
went to all the principal cities, and was every
where treated with the greatest hospitality. Dr.
Cottman acted in the capacity of surgeon to the
Grande Duke Constantine up to the time of his
appointment or. his present mission, and enjoys
the confidence of tbe whole of the imperial fami

The account published a tew days ago, charg
ing the English troops with acts of vandalism at
Ullesborg, he says is true to the letter, and alleges
that all the prizes captured by tbs allied fleets
consist of small vessels laden with salt, and fish
ing smacks; and that the towns attacked were
small and unimportant ones, scarcely known iri
England. In this connection, he further re
marks :
“Old Bodisco. brother of the late Russian Min
ister at Washington, commands Boomersund
with about a dozen cannon, and for fear he might
use them if they approached too near, the fleet
contented themselves by firing a whole day into
his apple orchatd and among his shade trees, en
tirely out of reach of the old man’s guns, but
not of his wrath. More than one English flag
has been brought to St. Peteisburg as a trophy.”

The Weather and its Consequences.—We
have had another week’s residence in tne Torrid
I Zone, at least the temperature here would be
J highly creditable to the Equatorial regions. All
vegetation seems to gasp for life. The corn crop
once so promising has been irreperably injured—
and Cotton Is shedding its fruit with an apparent
unanimous resolution to bear no more. The
Rust is committing its ravages ia many planta
tions, and altogether the prospects of the cotton
crop have materially declined in the last two
weeks. The heat is so intense that it seems
one week does as much injury as two weeks of
old fashioned dry weather.—Ew/aw/a (jila.) Spir

Work at Home for Northern Philanthro
pists.
While there is so much real suffering and ab
ject destitution in the midst of the negro-philists
and pseudo-philanthropists of the North, whoaro
so lachrymose over the wrongs ot Southern sla
very, and yet do nothing in the way of charity
at home, their tears and lamentations on this
subject can only excite disgust and scorn in the
minds of honest men. If these charitable souls
felt a true and heaven-born sympathy for the
mislortunes of their fellow-beings, they would be
found exerting themselves in a practical way to
do good and minister to distress. Here are two
paragraphs, culled from pur exchanges, which
are daily •teeming with just such cases, going to
show that tbe abolitionists and professed philan
thropists of the North can %pd full employment
for their sympathies and their charities nearer
home.
“ A terrible death-house was closed by the po
lice in Boston on Thursday. One woman was
found dead of cholera, stretched upon three or
four flour barrels in the cellar, with some forty
persons around “ waking” her. Another was
lying in the mud at the back door in frightful
convulsions and agonies. The house contained
more than forty families, and the accumulated
filth and excrement was three inches deep.”
*******
“ Philadelphia, Aug. 4. —The fact is discred
itable alike to a community, of Christian preten
sions, and to the Coroner of Philadelphia, that
the dead body ol a miserable woman was allow
' ed to remain upon a pavement in Baker street (a
miserable locality in the lower part of the city,)
from an early hour on Wednesday morning until
the following midnight. While the Coroner, a
miserably inefficient officer, was waited for, to
hold an inquest, and all, including even the of
ficers of the Board of Health, were afraid to touch
the remains, or remove them to a place of shel
ter, until that officer had seen them, the body of
the wretched woman lay upon the pavement the
entire day, either exposed to the broiling rays of
the morning sun, or drenched with the rain
which fell in the afternoon. Decomposition al
so had commenced, and the condition of the
neighborhood, at the best of times exceedingly
impure, was rendered intolerable. This is scene
No. 1. Now for No. 2.
“Yesterday morning, within fifty feet ot ths
| spot ot the above scene another woman lay in
the agonies of death. The victim in this case
: was an elderly woman of miserably dissipated
‘ habits, who had not long before been turned out
’ of a groggery to die. When first observed, she
, was lying on the bare bricks in a wretched filthy
“court,” writhing in pain. These are scenes
witnessed in th tfree city of a free State. Now,
I my travels South of Virginia, are limited ; but I
, very much doubt if such spectacles could be wit
j nessed in any Southern city. I would respect
: fully suggest to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe,
. that after perpetrating much that is wilfully
. false in ‘ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ and adding to her
fault by untruthful statements at public meetings
J during her recent tour in Great Britain, she
| would, probably, be able to retrieve ber reputa
ton in part, at least, by writing the truth, in re
; gard to the condition (much, much worse than
( slavery) of the poorer classes in the North, in all
of the principal cities of the free States.”—Cor
! respondent Charleston Courier.
i No where in the wide realms of the slave
holding South can such awful scenes of destitu
’ tron and suffering be found—where such evi
dences of callousness to the suffering of the des
titute, and the claims of our common humanity.
Our slaves never are allowed to sink dowa to
1 such an abyss of wretchedness, either in our
! largest cities, or in the rudest abodes of frontier
life. Yet the above examples are taken from
two of tbe hot-beds of Northern abolition—one
' the modern Athens, the polished city of Bostons
j the other, the City of Brotherly Love.
* Bathing Room.
, A much needed establishment for bathing, has
been opened by two of our “ colored population,”
John Walton and Caesar Johnston, in the rear of
the barber shop of the latter, a few doors below
I the Eagle & Phoenix Hotel.
; In such dusty weather as we are now expe
: riencing, the luxury of a hath will be fully ap
' preciated by all who avail themselves of the ac
. commodations offered by Johnston and Walton.
We understand it is their intention to furnish
their customers with facilities for bathing during
the entire year, and that those who feel disposed,
can procure season tickets for three or six months'
They are prepared to furnish warm, cold, and
shower baths from pure hydrant water, which is
unexcelled by any for bathing purposes, and they
, show every disposition to be polite and accom
-1 modating to their patrons.

Georgia Hydraulic Cement.
This cement, which is manufactured in this
State, by the Rev C. W. Howard, near King
i ston, and of which there is an inexhaustiblesup
' ply, we are pleased to learn, is daily growing in
| repute. Those who have used it, (and they are
men of judgment and experience) pronounce it
equal, if not superior, to the best Northern.
1 Encourage home manufactures and home indus
try, and thousands upon thousands of dollars will
be kept at home, which now find their way to
the North, and for articles of as good a quality,
and at lower prices, which can be obtained at
home. Mr. George W. Lewis is the agent for
the sale of this Cement in this city, and it can
be delivered at about sl.f*) per sack, which is at
a rate less than s>3 per barrel. We would recom
mend those who have use for Cement, to give
this article a trial.
An Improvement.
We were pleased to see workmen employed
yesterday in removing the old pavement in front
of the United States Hotel range. The old pave
ment has been a stumbling block to our citizens
for some time past, and the substitution of a new
one will be found a great convenience. There
are other poitions of Broad street which stand
very maeh in need of the same improvement
and for amendment, we would call the attention
of our City Fathers.
Congress has at length final I/ and absolutely
closed its session, and the members gone home.
The Baltimore Sun says: There was not a quo
rum in either House yesterday morning. In
the Senate, which met at 8 o’clock, a compli
mentary resolution of thanks to the presiding
officer, Mr. Atchison, for the able and impartial
manner in which he had discharged his delicate
and arduous duties, was passed, ami alter a very
brief response, the few members present separa
ted. The remnant of the House coming together
at?i o’clock, were off again at 8. Thus Congress
has suie enough adjourned sine die.
A great deal of exci'ement was caused in the
Sixteenth ward of Cincinnati, on Thursday af
ternoon, by the sudden breaking out of a malig
nant sickness, which caused seven deaths before
dark. Most of those who died were sick only
two or three hours. They were taken with
vomiting and purging, as in ordinary cholera
cases, though it is thought it is not that disease-
It is attributed to the use of water of a well in
tbe neighborhood. Nine more are sick. The
disease is confined principally to the Germans.

above an average. The latter will have a most
important influence upon commercial affairs, as
it will insure a material reduction in the price of
bread in the consuming classes. As yet Wheat
has been brought forward very slowly, aud pri
ces of flour consequently keep up, but the cur
