Sea-Shore 'Sketches.
BY MARY J. WIN OLE.
American House, Cape Island, July 25.
A Sabbath at Cape Island ! One of those
bright, calm Sabbaths, with its own hallowed
atmosphere, when heaven seems to diffuse itself
over the earth’s surface in a solemn smile. The
little church we attended had a modest, seques
tered, pastoral air about it, which made us think
of the beautiful worship of our forefathers.
The low bell had done ringing sometime, and
the congregation had all assembled, when we ar
rived. As we entered, music was gushing forth
and filling the church with melody. They were
singing an anthem of praise from the Psalms of
David. Hosanna was the burden of the strain—
hosanna ascended clear and high from the lips of
the congregation—hosanna resounded the whole
choir in one strong burst of harmony; while
the keys of the melodian quivered and sparkled
under the performer’s fingers. Deep, sweet, and
solemn, it swelled on the air, and, rolling round
the walls, filled every corner of the building
with its volume, the soul seeming to float up
ward on those billow's of sound like a bark on
the rising tide.
Apropos to the “Psalms of David.” They
aione contain a poetry that meets the spiritual
nature in all its moods and In all its wants. They
alone strengthen virtue with glorious exhorta
tions, give angelic eloquence to pra*yer, and
almost rise to a seraph’s joy in praise. For 'as
semblies or for solitude, for all that gladdens and
all that grieves, for our heaviness and despair,
for our remorse and our redemption, we find in
these divine harmonies the loud or the low ex
pression. They have resounded amidst the
courts of the tabernacle; they have floated through
the lofty spaces of the temple ; they were sung
with glory in the halls of Zion ; they were sung
with sorrow by the streams of Babel. In all
the eras and ages of the church, the inspiration of
the royal poet has enraptured its devotion and
enobled its ritual.
Not alone in the splendid cathedral or the rus
tic chapel, chorused by the winds of heaven, they
have swelled through God’s temple of the sky
and stars ; they have rolled over the broad desert
of Asia in the matins aud vespers of ten thous
and hermits; they have rung through the deep
valleys of the Alps, in the sobbing voices of the
forlorn Waldenses—through the steeps and caves
of Scottish highlands—in the iude chauntings of
th^Covenanters —through the woods and wilds
of primitive America—in the heroic hallelujahs
of our forefathers !
Nothing could he more peaceful than the effect
produced by the congregation assembled in that
rural place of worships set off alone by the deep
and expressive tones of the minis’er. Whethsr
it was the peaceful guierof the scene—whether
it was their frame of mind—-or whether it was
the pathos of the speaker—we know not; but
all paid the most devout attention. His text
was,“Why will ye labor for that which is not
bread.” 1 wish I could do justice to hia sermon ;
| but it u past my jpower. It began calm; and
; indeed, as far a* delivery and pitch of voice
went, it was calm to the end , an earnestly felt
yet strictly, restraining, zeal breathed in the dis
tinct accents and prompted the nervous lan
guage. The heart was thrilled, the mind soft
ened, by the power of the speaker. There was
something so seriously in earnest in his mannei
. that the words seemed to go to the hearts of his
j hearers. Commencing with the uncertainty o
lile, the speaker proceeded to consider prepara
tion for death in two aspects—its possibility, ant
its desirableness. He spoke of the emptiness
the inefficacy ol pleasures which terminate!
heie, to satisfy a spirit created for a hereafter
anu ne represented the powerlessness of thos*
aids to support and tranquillize the heait in
suffering and its danger.
What a living picture he drew of the humar
mind ! —its secret restlessness and disappoint
ment—its sense of the emptiness and hollowness
of all things; how the irrerest in mere externa
events gradually subsided; how fancy pallet
over the repetition of the same vain pleasure;
tending to no permanent end ; and how in tin
hour of disappointment and sorrow, which mus
come, the best grounds for fortitude, the bes
ipotives for tjaim and patient submission, wen
wanting.
He then told us ol the world where the La/.a
j rus of the earth will have the sores of his spirit
healed—where the great ones of this life wil
1 find their purple and fine linen sent away, an<:
their hearts with all their petty passions laic
bare. He told us of mountains whence flowed
living waters—of our high destiny— of our reia
i tions w’ith the infinite God. Finally, he sum-
I raoned his breathless audience, within Gethse
mane and bade them gaze on the man of Naza
; retb—his hands about to be pierced, his heart tc
! be broken ; but in the place of any plea for his
own exemption, praying lor the friends of his
household, the children of his love. Mr. ’s
sermon must have struck attention, whether
viewed as a beautiful piece of composition, or
as a solemn call to a permanent feeling, that if a
few can properly express, all share and under
stand—preparation for eternity.
There is something peculiarly impressive and
touching in this union of strangers from vari
ous parts of the country, met but for a few
weeks, to part, perhaps, never to meet again in
the holiest of all unions—that of Christain vvor
-1 ship. How close, how strong, that wonderous
tie of common faith that thus gathers strangers,
unknown and unconnected by any one wordly
interest or bond, to utter the same words of
praise and supplication; to think, perhaps the
same thoughts of humble ar.d trustful depen
dence ou sGod’s great goodness. The bright
eloudless sky and tumbling surf seemed] to res
pond in their magnificence to our worship.
* The churches here are lour in namber, and are
all neatly built, two with a spire and a bell,
which they ring for morning and evening ser
vice. There is something in their vibrations
which is more expressive than the ordinaly
tones of a bell, blending in, as they do melodi
ously. with the roar of the surf.

Arrivals are rapidly increasing. We met to
day about twenty additional persons at table.
The dining room is large and airy, and each
meal may serve as a favorable specimen of good
eating, as practiced in the house—everything in
profussion, the tables neat, and the servants ci
vil and obliging. We must not omit here to
make favorable mention ol our “ kitchen cabinet.”
From the dignified bead waiter, who stands at
the head of the immense table, to the smiling
subordinate, who elopes with our untouched
plate, there is not one among them to whom we
have not on some occasion been iudebted tor
rude but ready courtesies. They are merry and
light-hearted among themselves, yet hard work
ing, and gifted with a sobriety aud temperance
that would put to the Hush even the famous
tempeiance society of the "'Pickwick Papers.”

Gerritt Smith has addressed a long letter to
his constituents in which he re-announces his
intention to resign his seat in Congress, and en
ters into an exculpatory explanation of his course
in the House. He refers to the dissatisfaction
felt by some of his constituents, and on that
point, the only one to which we think it neces
sary to refer, defends himself as follows:
1 noticed strictures upon almost the very first
sentence ol my very first speech in Congress,
which taught me that my official, no more than
my private life, was to be exfmgpt from the in
justice to which I have here alluded. It so hap
pened that I began that speech with expressions
of civility toward those around me, and with
kind and charatable interpretations of the differ
ences between them and myself. No sooner was
the speech in print than many Abolitionists com
plained of my courtesy to slaveholders, and in
sisted that I had been guilty of making light of
the radical differences between Slavery and
Abolition—between Slaveholders and Abolition
ists. Assuming, as they did, that I was but “a
one idea Abolitionists,” they further and very
naturally assumed that I stood up to make that
speech with nothing but slavery and slaveholders
in my eye. Two things, which they should
have remembered, they seemed entirely to have
forgotton. One of these is, that I entered Con
gress with suet- peculiar theories of civil govern
ment—matured and cherished, ho vever vision
ary and false—as I foresaw must be continually
bringing out differences between my associates
and myself, not on the question of Slavery only
but on innumerable other questions also. The
other is, those theories is the duty,
resting imperatively on the inmates of a legisla
tive hall, to know nothing while in such hall of
each other’s private character and private rela
tions; and to recognize and treat each other as
gentlemen. This much at least then can be said
in vindication of the opening of the speech in
question—that, however little it corresponded
with the views of others, it faithfully reflected
my own; and that, so far as it is the duty of eve
ry man to be in all circumstances himself, and
the duty of all others to judge him by himself,
I was not obnoxious to criticism.
Whatever other objections may be made to
Mr. Smith we should be glad to see him contin
ued a life-member of Congress if he would only
thereby be successful in inculcating upon mem
bers his theory “to recogn se and treat each other
as gentlemen.— Balt. Amer.
Shocking Loss of Life.— Life in the West.
The Milwaukee Daily Sentinel, states that a
shanty near the bounds of that city,' was des
troyed by fire on Friday night, the 28th ult., and
five persons lost their lives in the fire, and two
more were so badly burned as not to be expect
ed to live. On going to the ruins ot the shanty,
we were a witness to a spectable the most hor
rible. The shanty was about twelve feet square
in the main part, with L part about five feet
square, all reduced to ashes—a few ends of the
logs still smouldering.
In the ruins were the fragments of several bo
dies burnt to cinders, and still smoking, with the
limbs of two or three of them scattered about in
different parts. One of tne bodies could be dis
tinguished as that of a female by the bones, lying
partly on the back, with the bones of the hand
penetrating the upper part of the breast. The
others were in fragments among the diit and
ashes.
The only door into the hovel was through the
inner part of the small wing, and it is supposed
that, by some carelessness, that wing, which
was used for cooking, took fire, and the smoke
suffocated, while the flames pievented the escape
of the unfortunate victims.

Georgia Pioneers for Kansas. —The North
has been organizing to forward emigrant parties
to Kansas and Nebraska, whose votes, at the
proper time, will be cast to make free State* of
these territories; why should the South be stand
ing idle in so important a crisis? We should,
and must, have Kansas a slave State. P.esides
political, personal benefits will accrue to our peo
ple by a participation in the secernent of the
virgin soil now open to our enterprise in these
territories. A convention should be called in
our State to concentrate ail efforts on so impor
tant an object. An exploring part}’ should be
immediately sent forward to look out a suitable
country for a Georgia colony. Many hardy young
men will be found not only ready but glad to go
forward and secure homes under so favorable ctr
-1 cuinstances, and they should take this early op
! portunity to have some of the benefits of the
; common tenitory before all tbe domain shall be
; monopolized by others. Large bodies could emi
; grate cheaper and w ith more safety than indi
| viduals. Funds might tie raised to aid the poor
and deserving emigrant, whose loyalty to the
South can be trusted at the proper hour.
Every Southern State should send out her col
ony. Political and personal considerations de
mand it; for it is the only way in which our
people will ever reap any benefit from the pub
lic lands before they are all squandered.
Then, what say the people of old Wilkes to
holding a public meeting, and resolving to send
delegates to a convention to be held in Atlanta,
at an eaily day, provided some twenty counties
shall resolve to send representatives also?
A. Be
Protested—The government seemed to be
more careful of Mr. Borland’s honor than his
credit. When Mr. Borland made his demonstra
tion in San Juan, he organized a force of return
ing Californians “to protect,” as he said, the
property of the Transit Company. Mr. Fabens,
the Commercial Agent, borrowed money of the
people of San Juan to pay these men. Os Mr.
Wood he borrowed SI,OOO, giving a draft on the
government at Washing'on for the amount.—
This draft was presented at Washington on Tues
day and protested—the government refusing to
pay.— Balt. American.
The government seems as careful of Mr. Bor
land’s credit as it has been of his honor, for in the
Appropriation Bili which passed Congress is an
item of $12,000 to enable the Secretary of State
to pay the persons employed to protect the pro
perty and persons of the United States at San
Juan de Nicaragua. Money usually has to be
appropriated by Congress before the Treasury is
authorized to pay it out .—Phila. Ledger.
Indian Fight on the Plains.—We yesterday
had a conversation with Mr. A Loe, who recent

lowing particulars of a pitched battle between
several tribes of Indians, in w hat is known as
‘‘Buffalo Grounds/’ some two weeks since. The
place where it occurred is about, tine hundred
miles beyond Fort Riley, and the news was
brought in a short time before our informant left,
by several of the braves who had engaged in the
conflict.
A party consisting of Delawares, Pottawato
rnies, and Sacs, numbering in all about four hun
dred strong, were out on a hunt, and were fre
quently interrupted by straggling parties of other
Indians, who stole their ponies and molested
them iu vaiious other ways. A skirmishing
party W'as sent out finally, who soon brought
back the intelligence of an encampment of about
seven hundred Indians within a short distance,
and which proved to be the Cheyennes ami Ar
rapahoes.
An engagement ensued, in the course of which
the latter had over fifty of their party killed,
while the former lost only some three or spur

Improvements in Photography.— At a con
versations' at the Polytechnic Institution on
Thursday a curious illustration was given ot the
capabilities of photography in exper enced hands.
Two photographs were exhibiied,one the largest
and the other the smallest ever produced by the
process. The first was a portrait the full size of
life, and the last was a copy of the front sheet of
The limes on a surface scarcely exceeding two
inches by three. Both pictures were exceeding
ly perfect, the portrait being more pleasing and
tar more correct than those usually produced,
while the copy, notwithstanding its exceeding
minuteness, could be read without the assistance
ot a magnifying glass. The photographs were

of Regent street, and excited considerable inter
est during the evening.— London Times.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 16,1854. j
New Cotton.
The first bale of the new crop reached this
city yesterday, from the plantation of Mr. H. P.
Mattox, Elbert county, consigned to Messis.
Phtnizy & Clayton. We have a sample of it,
and must say it is the best bale of new Cotton
we have seen brought to this market. It is dry,
well ginned, of good staple, and pronounced by
judges to class Fair. It was sold at 12 cents per
poluid.
The Mail*.
Having published two or three communica
tions recently, in reference to failures of mails, it
is but an act of justice to state, that our daily pa
pers, of the non-reception of which complaints
are made, are not deposited in the Post Office of
this city, but are sent to the agents on the Geor
gia Railroad. We know that a whole bag of
papers, plainly labelled for Atlanta, and sent from
the Post Office on Wednesday last, was return
ed. This was clearly the fault of some agent on
the road. A bag of papers from Augusta, we
w ere informed in one of the communications re
ferred to, was labelled Tuscumbia, when itshould
have been Rome. We know that the clerks in
the Post Office here, often have but a very few
minutes, especially when the mails are received
late, in which to lock, tie and label, as we learn,
more than twenty bags for the afternoon mails.
While they should exercise every precaution to
avoid error, it is hardly possible that it can al
ways be avoided. We believe the Posmaster
here, and his clerks, are endeavoring, faithfully,
to discharge their duties. We hope that all con
nected with the mails will exert every energy
and care to have them promptly and effectually
sent to their destinations.
New Cotton. —The Savannah Journal of
the 14 h inst. says: The first bale of new Cotton
for the season, was this morning sold by Messrs.
Ruse, Davis & Long, for 15 cents per pound. It
was of fine quality, and just received by Railroad
from Columbus—weight of bale over 500 lbs.
The Washington Star says that there is no
truth in the report that the representative of
France near this Government has formally de
nanded 8(500,000 for the damages inflicted on
French subjects in .the bombardment of Grey
town.
The returns from Missouri, as they come in,
show decided gains over the previous democratic
vote. The American party, or the Know-Noth
ings, form a strong element in the election, and
the returns give indication that many of their
candidates will be elected.
John Van Buren, it appears, is becoming

Dreadful Murder in Mississippi.— W. A.
Kollingsworth, a prominent citizen of Jefferson
county, Miss., was brutally murdered on the 29th
ult. It appears his servants were awakened in
the night and discoverer! the house on tire. They
rushed into his room and found him dead in bed,
with his children asleep by his side, drenched in
his blood. The children and the body of the
father weie conveyed to the yard, and in a lew
minutes the house was leduced to ashes. Ten
wounds, indicted with a hatchet, were found on
the head of the unfortunate man. It is supposed
the foul deed was committed by one of three
runaway slaves

Remarkable Sailing. —The clipper ship Ro
mance of the Sea,of Boston, Capt. Dumaresq, and
the David Brown, of New York, Capt. Brew
ster, left San Francisco in company on the 31st
of March both bound to Hong Kong, and on the
lGth of May both vessels entered that poit,
each having made the passage in forty-six days.
This is a remarkable case of even sailing, and
may be considered a satisfactory trial of speed
between the two ships. Considerable interest
was felt in San Francisco in regard to the race
and some bets were made on the result.
! Russia’s Pacific Squadron. —Late papers
| from India and China show that great fear and
! anxiety were entertained by the subjects of
j England in both countries, owing to the myste
! rious and dangerous movements of the laige
Russian squadron which is cruising in the Pa
cific Ocean. It was currently reported that a
I Russian war steamer had actually entered the
I harbor of Singapore, and the Bengal people
! tear the immediate appearance of a fleet of
I California ‘‘pirates/’ as allies of the Czar in the
j Western Pacific. At Sydney, Australia, the
1 same trepidation existed.
: The Empire City which arrived at New York
| on Friday morning from Aspinwall brought four
| bundled passengers, and one million one hundred
thousand dollars in gold.
The Aspinwall Courier, in a long editorial ar
ticle, fully endorses the bombardment of Gtey
town. „
The editor hopes that the prompt and erierget
ic course pursued by Captain Hollins, will prove
acceptable to the American people, as an earnest
that the Government is reviving that policy
which made the republic respected abroad even
in her early infauey.
Guards have been placed on the line of the
mule road to protect passengers crossing the Isth
mus.
Considerable rain had fallen. There was oaneh
sickness at Panarfla.
Ihe withdrawal of Mr. E. P. Christy, one of
the originators of the negro melody entertain
ments, is made the occasion for the publication
of a table showing his gradual progress in mak
ing them popular and lucrative. In 1848,he gave
(39 concerts at an average profit of $4.27, in 1850,
(the best year.) 305 concerts at an average prof
it ol $;6 87; and in 1853, 312 concerts, at an av
erage profit of S7B 87. The gross receipts of
twelve years have been $317,589.37, of w hich
$180,873.60 were profits. The whole number j
of concerts is stated at 2,792.
The Iron Foonderies of Pittsburq.— lt i
i- said there are now in Pittsburg thirty-eight j
iron fbunderies; of which nine are almost exclu- j
sively employed in the manufacture of steam I
engines, and twrenty-nine in the manufacture of
various kinds ol hollow ware, machinery, &c. i
The founderies whi«hijTe employed in tba man- :
facture of steam engines, consume yearly 3,200
tons of wrought iron, 9,200 tons pig, employ
640 men, and produce 120 steam-engine? every
year. Their net capital is 8549,000.
The Washington correspondent oi the New-
York Times says that the latest despatches from
Spain to th:.-State Department here are to the
effect that for the moment nothing whatever can
be done by the American agents in Spain, and
that the only course to be pursued is to wait
quietly for affairs again to assume a settled as
pect. Then the settlement of our difficulties
and the acquisition of Cuba can be brought up
I again.
Coal Consumption. —The Baltimore Ameri
can says : The coal product of the present year is
from the Pennsylvania region 254,433 tons, and
from the Maryland region, notwithstanding the
diadvantageous influence of the lengthened strike
there, 96,192 tons in advance of the product of
last year, making a total increase for the present
year of over three hundred ard fifty thousand
tons. The coal consumption for the present
year is estimated at 6,325.000 tons, allowing an
increase of fifteen per cent, on the consumption
ol last year. A similar rate of increase in the
two regions for the balance of the year would
make an aggregate increase over the production
of If st year of about 500,000 tons, and render
their joint product about 6,000.000 of tons. This
it will be seen, would still be 325,000 tons be
low the estimated amount demanded for the con
sumption of the year. The amount of the esti
mated demand to be made up during the balance
of the year is 3,453,561 tons, of which Pennsyl
vania has to send to market over two millions
and a half ot tons between the present date and
the first of January. The Cumberland Journal,
from which we gather the above tacts, regards it
as tolerably certain that the supply of coal for
the present year will fall short of the demand,
and that the presumed deficiency will be large.
*The increase of the Cumberland coal tra 'e the
Journal looks upon without a parallel in the
history of such enterprizes. In 1842 there was
sent to market 1,708 tons ; in 1843, 10,082 , in
1844, 24.890 ; in 1845, 24,653 : in 1846, 29,795 ;
in 1847, 52,940; in 1848, 79,571.; in 1849, 142,-
449; in 1850, 196,845; in 1851, 267,679; in
1852, 334,178; in 1553, 533,980 : and up to Aug.
1854,353,154 tons.
Death of a Georgia Lieutenant.
Among the killed in a recent fight with the
Indians of New Mexico, was Lieut. J. E. Max
well of the 3rd regiment of infantry. His pa
rents reside in Athens, Ga. He was a highly
accomplished and promising young officer, having
graduated at West Point in 3850.
j We take the following extract of a letter from
| a brother officer, a Georgian, who was engaged
I in the battle in which Lieut. M. fell.
On the morning of the 20th June, Brevet
Capt. Sykes and Lieut. Maxwell, with about GO
dragoons (there being no dragoon officers on duty
at the post) started in pursuit of the party of
Apaches.who.se trail had been seen the day be
fore a short distance from the post. Alter a hard
and vigorous trial, the command came in sight
of the savages, early on the morning of the 3(nh.
Capt. Sykes sent Lieut. Maxwell, with 20 dra
goons, up a precipitate ‘‘mesa,-’ or small moun
tain, to cut off the retreat of a band of about
twenty Indians, who were attempting to gain
difficult and almost impregnable passes of the
mountains. Lieut. Maxwell, being well moun
ted, charged at the head (f his men, to cut off the
enemy, ere they could pass a certain pointabov«
him. Unfortunately, possibly from being better
mounted, himself and one sergeant and two men,
arrived at the summit of the mesa, some few mo
ments ere the rest of his tioops hau dosed up.—
As_soon as Lieut. Maxwell,who was ahead,with
the three men, arrived at the above mentioned
place, the Indians showed themselves above, and
commenced a deadly discharge of arrows. Lieut.
Maxwell, with revolver in hand,emptied it with
deadly effect; but ere he had done so, he had re
ceived an arrow through his body—completely
through. He drew his sabre, and in doing so,
his bridle arm received another arrow, which
passed through and glanced against his left breast.
He still used his sabre, and when he received his
last shot, he was in the act of sabreingan Indian;
but in that act, while his head was bowed to his
horses mane, be fell—an arrow in his brain—and
fell like a knight of old, in his harness—his sword
grasped in his hand, a smile upon his face. The
Indians fled. Then came the troops thundering
up the bill—but too late—alas! for poor young
Maxwell had lallen ! And as Capt. Sykes saw
him, with upturned face, lying stark dead, whom
but a moment since he viewed, in the prime and
bloom cf manhood, he bowed his head and wept,
as none but a warrior can.
Things in Upper Georgia. —A letter from a
citizen of Macon in the Georgia Citizen, dated
Gordon Springs, the 6th inst. says :
This is the very climate for my present state
of health—the nights being very cool. Last night
I slept covered with two quilts, one sheet and a
counterpane. The termometer this morning, at
5 o’clock, stood at G 5 degrees, almost cold enough
for frost, Tips you may think a slight exagger
ation, but I Ikis up at 5 o’clock and saw the
mercury at 6*to which Mr. D. of Macon, who
left here this morning will testify. That makes
a difference of 35 degrees between this climate
and that of the city of Macon, which I would
not believe, had I not ocular demonstration of
the fact.
They have had a long and destructive drought
throughout Ihe country, and extending beyond
Chattanooga into Tennessee. The Corn. Pea
and Potato crop look to be entirely spent, and in
large sections of country irretrievably ruined,
beyond the powers of the watery elements to
redeem, however much it may rain from this for
ward.
Consul-Gankral De Leon and the Greeks.
| —The Athens Panhellenion speaks in the high
! est terms of Mr. De Leon’s efforts for the ame
[ lioration of the Gieeks in Egypt. It says:
Mr. Edwin De Leon, consul-general tor the
United States ot America, touched by the sight
of the sufferings and the persecutions of which
the Greeks were the victims, hastened, ot his
own accord, and without ordeis from his govern
ment, to address an appeal to Abbas Pasha, by
which he invoked the government, not only to
be more merciful and more just towards the
Greeks, but by touching the amour propie of the
Pasha at the same time, to secure tor them the
privilege of remaining in Egypt. Well worthy,
indeed, of the great American republic are the
j sentiments and the language of this appeal.”
Valuable Cargo.— ihe Charleston Courier
• of Saturday says’:
j ‘‘Theship Brother Jonathan, Capt. Tucker,
wag cleared for Liverpool yesterday by Messrs.
Geo A. Hopley & Co., with 227 bales Sea I>-
I land, .>093 bales Upland Cotton, atnl 9 packages
merchandize, weighing 1,271.805 lbs. and valued
at $127,574. l’his line vessel, of nearly 800 ton 9,
only draws 14J (eet water; which makes her
well adapted to the trade of this port.”
About midnight our city was visited with a
heavy squall, accompanied with considerable
j thunder and lightning, and at first it looked as if
, we were to have had a heavy blow. The rain
i however, shortly made its appearance, and for
! some time fell heavy, which, of course, caused t' e
| wind to lull.— Char. Cour.,lsth inst.
i A Daring Attempt —Henry Grage, an
j Englishman, aged twenty years or thereabouts,
and an upholsterer by trade, arrived in this city
lately, anu took lodgings at the Sailor’s boarding ,
house of Michael Quinn, in Bedon’s alley.
About four o’clock yesterday alternoon, he en- '
tered the proprietor’s private room for the pur- I
pose of robbery, but had not executed his scheme !
before the proprietor accidently entered and in-’
terrupted him. On being thus discovered he I
made a desperate assault on the proprietor and i
inflicted several wounds with a knife-three
wounds in the back, one in the side,-one on the I
forehead, and one on the shoulder. Grange then
attempted to escape by clearing the enclosures
across to Church street, but was closely pursued
and arrested when he was taken before John A.
Gyle*, Esq. for commitment and prosecution. j
severe, the wounds received by
Michaal Quinn are not regarded dangerous lb.
The Weather. —The weather, as all our citi- |
zens well know, is and has been for several days
oppressively hot. Nor is it otherwise at night.
It is almost impossible to sleep at night for the i
heat, and no one thinks ol eating or walking,;
day or night, unless by absolute compulsion
Yesterday, at about half-past 3, P. M., we
were blessed with a reireshing little shower ot j
rain, which lasted lor about an hour, and which
lor the time cooled the atrnospheie a few degrees. ;
But we need more rain—an abundance of it—to
kill the dust and cleanse the streets, and make
the grass and shrubbery in our public squares live
and flourish, and till the cisterns.
With all this, we are giad to say, the city con
tinues healthy; the few cases of lever which we
have announced not being regarded as at all in
dictive of an epidemic. On the whole, we are
sweating pretty Ireely, sleeping but little eating
ditto, and getting along finely—“'considering.”—
N. 0. Picayune, 11 thinst.
Extension of the South Western Rail
road —The letter, of which the foilowing is an
extract, is from an intelligent friend in Glenn
ville, Ala. The extension of the South Western
Railroad, to ‘ which it refers, is a desideratum;
and we are pleased with the public spirit mani
fested by those whose interests are involved in
its accomplishment: • «
“Great efforts are being made here to bring the
| South Western Railroad from Americus to Eu
; faula, and from present appearances, it will be
1 done—considerably over two hundred thousand
| dollars have been subscribed, and the county has
not been thoroughly canvassed. We are satisfied
that three hundred thousand dollars will be easi
ly made up which will certainly secure the road.
Your city will then be in direct communication
with the wealthiest and most fertile portion of
Alabama. Then you may look out for a heavy
j subscription in this section.”— Sav. Netas, 14 th
j inst.
