Bathing at Cape JHay.
he following is written by a lady, who
speaks upon the subject. We
freely endorse all she says—and more:
i o one accustomed only to sea-bathing in
smooth water, and in a quiet, retired spot, the
sound ol the surf rolling and breaking, the sight
oi trie promiscuous crowd upon the beach and in
the water, are nearly enough to make one change
one s mind about taking a bath, but the tempta
tion proving irresistible te try it lor once, you
proceed to join the throng.
“ 'Fbe ‘ modus operandV is this:—You are
shown into one of silty pigeon-like houses,
which you find large enough to turn round in
cleverly, and furnished with looking glass, and
having most sensibly left all superfluities of cos
tume at your hotel quarters, you proceed to ar
ray yourself in bathing costume, a la Bloomer ,
then cautiously opening the door, look lor a
chance to dodge the carriage on the beach, start*
until the sight of your bare feet in such an as
sembly scares you back; but the only way is to.
pull your straw hat down over your face, and
run as fast as feet can carry you until you plunge
into the water; you are then one of a crowd.—
Now give up yourself to the exhilerating enjoy
ment of a bath in the surf, upon a beach of firm
white sand without pebble or shell to hurt the
most delicate foot. Watch the white crested
W waves as chasing each one another they come
towards you, growing higher and higher, until
with gentle obesiance you receive their embrace;
but beware, unless supported by a strong arm,
lest you lose your footing, and for a moment
imagining yourself carried out to sea, you startle
with loud shrieks the nymphs and naiads who
are sporting in the waves around you, though it
is a flight of poes|c fancy to trace any resem
blance between the habitue of a watering place
(dressed as it may be in yellow flannel , with tress
es carefully looped up under an oiled silk cap.)
and a naiad, and I wonder so many youtbibl
beauties are willing to abide so severe a test.
“It is all very delightful while in the water,
but, oh dear! the coming out part is horrid. Hat
slouched down—clothes clinging—water drip
ping and carriages filled with people dressed so
nicely , are driving on the beach, while you, poor
soul, thinking of the run to the dressing-house,
find you have forgotten which one is yours, all
looking alike, and with only forty-nine chances
out of fifty against your going right, make a rush
towards the one you hope is yours, (having fore
thought enough to choose those which, having
pails of water beside the door, you know are
waiting for return bathers.) push the door gently
open, find, oh horrors! you are wrong; trying
another and another in despair, feeling all the
while as if up for exhibition, until at last, to your
great joy, you find your own; when drawing in
your pail of water to wash the sand from your
feet, you hastily enrobe and emerge with the
kappy consciousness that not one of the many
stiangers around can trace any resemblance be
tween you and the forlorn-looking creature su
ing so lately in vain lor admission at so many
doors.
“ I have read of susceptible youth lalling in
love in the surf at Cape May, but if the young
ladies look as they did when I made my debut , 1
can only say that were I a Celebs in search of a
wife. i$ is the last place I would go to look for
one.’’ ,
of the “Grapeshot” to New York—
JP Her Southern Mission.
This much talknd of vessel arrived at New
York, on Wednesday. As her movements have
4 been the cause of much speculation, and of great
j uneasiness to the Spanish powers in Cuba, to say
v nothing of the interest felt as to her final destina
tion of Venezuela end Mexico, we annex below
the following account of her mission and her voy
. by one of her officers :
"She sailed from New York on the 24th of
March last, bound direct for Vera Cruz, with a
Hcargoof 30,000 muskets, to sell to Santa Anna.
The egrgo came on board in packages or boxes,
and Sri were enteiedon the manifest as muskets'
although the shipping master does not know
whether or not some of the boxes might have
contained piste-Vs, revolvers and cutlasses. At the
same was shipped on board a quanti
ty of rawder and ball, but only for the private
Eust>s>r the crew, and not to he disposed of with
-'HilTrest of the cargo. In nine days after clear
ing from New York, the vessel hove anchor at
the Balize, oft'the mouth of the Mississippi Riv
er, there to wait the consummation of the bar
gain with the Dictator of Mexico. On the voy
age south, the Grapeshot proved herself to be the
swiftest of the swift, passing every sail along the
coast, ana arriving at the Balize before the New
Orleans steamers which left New York about
the same time, although after rounding the Capes
of Florida, she fell in with a two days “norther,”
a head wind, during which time she gained only
one degree.
“The Grapeshot lay anchored at the Balize
■' months, while George Law', the owner
ietor of the ship and cargo, through his
|ftnt Captain Baxter, should arrange
tinaries with Santa Anna. While watt
ley were expecting by every steamer
Cruz such news as would warrant
ediate departure for that port to unload
It was soon found out that Santa
Anna was not disposed to “toe the mark,” and
was either sick of his bargain, or had not the
power to raise the funds necessary for the article;
ard as Mr. Law’s motto was “No trust,” but
“cash on delivery,” the guns were not to be land
ed till “the ready” was secured. After this de
lay of months, without coming to satisfactory
terms, and there being no prospect of gaining the
necessary security of “payment on delivery,” it
was determined to steer lor home. While waiting
here the Grapeshot was not disturbed or molest
ed in any way.
“The bark touched no whereon her homeward
voyage from the Balize to New York, and arriv
| ed here rn thirteen days after hoisting anchor in
Southern waters. She brings home her entire
cargo of “American hardware,” as it is entered
on her manifest, in precisely the same state as
she started with it. During the entire voyage
the bark has not been molested or chased by any
government cutters, steamers or privateers; and
her officer says: “If we had, it would have been
no use, for there is not one of any of these class
of vessels that could catch rs.” Coming home,
as fen the voyage down the coast, they passed
everything afloat, and six hours was their average
time of spying a vessel ahead and leaving her
out of sight astern. This was done when there
was anything of a breeze, but the most of the
/ time coming home the vessel was becalmed,
making it useless 6ome day, to set a rag of sail.”
" The above is the account of the voyage of the
Grapeshot, obtained, as we have stated, from one
of her officers. It conflicts a little as to cargo,
with the account given to the reporter of “ship
ing intelligence,” which reads—Bark Grapeshot
Baxter 13 days from S W. Pass, in ballast, to
George Law. He had light winds and calms the
entire passage.”
I Anecdote of Aleoni.—The character of Al
boni is a compound of winning frankness and
strange caprice. She has often been compared
to a German student, having all the sang froid
and courage usually attributed to that class. An
amusing incident occurred during her stay at
Trieste. Having heard, on the day of her ar
rival that a cabal against her was being organ
ized, she wended her way to the estaminet, and
mingled amongst the conspirators—her short
locks, full figure and degage air, rendering it dif
ficult to divine her sex.
“lam a stranger,” said Alboni, addressing
herself to the Brustus of the cabal, “but if there’s
' fun on hand, count on me ” “ Agreed,” was
the reply. “We are preparing to hiss down a
cantatrice this evening.” “ What has she done
anything wicked?” “We know nothing
about her, except that she comes lrom Rome ;
and we wish no singers here, of whose reputation
we are not the creators.” “ That appears to me
~~ enough. Now as to the part lam to take
in the affair ?” “ Take this whistle—each of us
carries a similar one. At a signal which will be
given after the air of Rosina, in the The Barber
of Seville, you have but to add to the tempest
which will be raised.” “ I comprehend,” said
Alboni, and faithful to her disguise, she received
from the band ol her dupe a pretty black whistle,
attached to a. red ribbon. That night the thea- 1
tre bent under the weight of spectators. At the
rising of the curtain, “ Almaviva,” and “ Figa- I
ro," two favorites, were listened to with atten
tion ; but when Rosina appeared in the scene in ;
which she addressed the zealous tutor, a half j
dozen whistles sounded their shrill notes through
the house* unmindful of the signal to be given by
the leade.rs of the cabal.
“ Alboni advanced to the foot-lights, and dis
played the whistle suspended around her neck.—
“ Gentlemen,” said she, with a smile, “tee must
not Liss me, but the cavatina. You have com
menced too soon.” There was a moment of si
lence—then thunders of applause lang through
the house. The cantatrice was that night re
called eleven times amidst showers of bouquets*
“ 1 had no idea that you were aware of this ca
bal,” said the Director, after the performance, as
he kissed her hand. “My dear impressario,” re
plied she, “it is here as in politics; you must
conduct the movement, or else be swept away.”
Court Journal.
. 1 From the Savannah Georgian ]
The Lone Star Flag.
The Galveston News admits the clairffl which
Georgia makes in behalf of one of her daughters,
to the honor of having furnished to Texas her
“ Lone Star” flag. The following articles is
taken from that paper :
The “ Flag of the Lone Star,” that was first
unfurled in Texas, was that borne by the Geor
gia Battalion, commanded by the gallant Lieut.
Col. Ward ; who, with almost his entire com
mand, was massacred at Goliad, in the spring of
1836, in whatis known as “Fannin’s Massacre,”
he being next in command to the lamented Col.
James W. Fannin.
This flag was presented to Col. Ward’s com
mand, as they passed through the town of Knox
ville, Crawford county, Georgia, by the fairest
daughter of the State—the beautiful, gifted, and
highly accomplished Miss Joanna E. Troutman.
It was made of plain, white silk,bearing azure
star, of five points on either side. On one side
was the inscription, in rich, but chaste colors—
“ Liberty or Death !”—and on the other, the
patriotic Latin motto—“ Übi Libertas habitat, ibi
nostra patria est.”
This flag was first unfurled at Velasco, on the
Bth of January, 1836, and proudly floated on the
breeze from the same Liberty-Pole With the first
“Flag of Independence,” (described in our last
week’s issue,) which had just been brought from
Goliad by the valorous Capt. William Brown,
who subsequently did such daring and effective
service in the Navy of Texas.
There is something singularly romantic in the
history of these two flags. The “ Flag of Inde
pendence” came from Goliad—where it was
first hoisted, just in time to be flung to the breeze
from the same staff with the beautiful “ Banner
of the Single Star,” on the occasion of its being
first unfurled in Texas.
Proudly they floated together ! The crimson
dyed sword, in fearful aspect, grasped in a sin
ewy hand, waved boldly over the placid star, as
it reposed on its broad field ol virgin white, as if
to emblematize the chivalric vow of a gallant
knight errant to his lady-love— “ Thee will l
tlotect, where’er thou GOF.ST !”
What became of the “Flag of Independence”
we know not; but the beautiful star of azure,
was borne by Col. Fannin’s Regiment to Goliad,
and there gracefully floated from the same tall
staff which first bore the blooded sword that had
waved over, as if to protect it, at Velasco. On
the Bth of March, 1836, an express arrived at
Goliad, from Washington, on the Brazos, offici
ally announcing that the Convention, then in
session, had formally made solemn declaration
that Texas was no longer a Mexican Province,
but a free and independent Republic within it
self. On the receipt of this thrilling, this glori
ous intelligence, the greatest demonstrations of
joy were made in the Fort—loud and spiiit stir
ring strains ol marshal and patriotic music, from
“ trumpet, drum and fife,” resounded through
the ancient confines of the Fortress, and the
shadowy aisles of the venerable chapel La
Bahia.
Amid the roar of artilery, the beautiful “Ban
ner of tbe Lone Star” was hoisted to the top of
the identical flag staff which first bore the broad
ensign of that political independence, the glad
tidings of the declaration of which, by a general
Convention of the people’s representatives, then
assembled, had just been received. It proudly
streamed over the hoary ramparts and time
shattered battements of the antiquated Fortress
of La Bahia, until the last rays of the setting sun
were casting their “lessening light” against the
gray turrets of the old chapel. Just as the “sun
set gun” thundered forth its hoarse announce
ment of departed day, the usual attempt to “low
er the colors” was being made, when, by some
unlucky mishap, the beautiful silken banner be
came entangled in the halyards and was torn into
pieces. Only a small fragment remained adjust
ed to the flag-staff; and, when Col. Fannin
evacuated Goliad,to join Gen. Houston, in ac
cordance with received orders, the last remnant
of the first “Flag of the Lone Star” was still flut
tering at the top of the staff from which floated
the first “Flag of Independence.”
We are told that after the battle of San Jacin
to, Gen. Rusk forwarded some of the trophies of
the victory to Miss. Troutman. On the meeting
of the first Texas Congress, the flag of the “Lone
Star” was adopted as that of the young republic.
We find the following in the Rome Southerner.
“The most convincing testimony upon the
point in issue, was the public recognition of the
maternity of the “First Flag of the Lone Star”
as belonging to Georgia, by Gen. Memucan
Hunt, the first Minister from the Republic of
Texas to the U. S. And we presume that if
some of our Texas contemporaries will search
the archives at their Capitol, they will find offi
cial evidence in abundance, showing that the
banner with a “broad field of virgin white,” on
which reposed “an azure star, of five points on
either side,” and the mottos '‘'‘Liberty or Death”
on the one side, and “ Übi Libertas habitat, ibi
nostra patria est,” on the other, was adopted by
the Republic as the National Flag, and corrobora
ting the.other facts we have stated. That was
the identical banner presented to the command
under Lieut. Col. Ward in the winter of 1835,
by Miss Joanna E. Troutman, of Crawford coun
ty, Ga. And we believe that Texas has given,
in this matter, “honor to whom honor is due.”
The beautiiul, accomplished, and most estima
ble lady, (for she w s all three) whose name be
came so extensively known in connection with
the Lone Star Flag, subsequently had that name
changed. She married Solomon Pose, Esq., a
lawyer of Alabama, and became, fora while,
resident in the pretty village of Tuskegee. In
the year 1845 Mr. Pope removed with his fami
ly to Taledega, we believe. Whether still a
resident there we know not.
Ringgold and Bragg’s Battery. —This bat
tery, known as company “C,” of the Third Re
giment of U. S. Artillery, has recently taken
post a Fort Washita, in the Choctaw Nation.
It is under command of Col. Bragg, of ‘a little
more grape’ memory. The Fort Washita Intel
ligencer contains seme interesting reministances
of this veteran company. It appears that in
1821 an act was passed by Congress for the
equipment of light companies. It was not, how
ever, until 1838, seventeen years after the pas
sage of the act, that brevet Major Ringgold, who
had just returned from a long sojourn in Europe,
pursuing his studies by personal observation of
its various armies, and their respective arms, re
ceived an order to equip this company. Under
his command it was stationed at Fort McHenry,
near Baltimore, until the year 1845, when it was
ordered to join the “army of occupation,” under
Gen. Taylor, at Corpus Christi. Its effective
ness at the battles of Resaca de la Palma, Palo
Alto, Monterey and Buena Vista is known to
the whole country. The death of its accom
plished commander, on the memorable Bth of
May, devolved the command on Lieutenant (af
terwards brevet Captain) Randolph Ridgely; and
on the 9th, at Palo Alto, it gained fresh laurels
lt j attac * i 0D enemy, and the aid it gave
n 1 , r ?§ ooc . s > under Captain (now brevet Lt.
o ) May, in the capture of Gen. Le Vega and
is guns. The death of the gallant Lieut Ridge
an acc f^® nt i at Monterey, again left the
Rrao^f w . a commander, until Capt.
arnthor mm ransferred to the command, from
j • it A P i heroism and unequalled
to f a * ed at Buena Vista, under Cap
tam 8., are lnse P ara bly connected with the glo
ry of that ever memorable battle. The subse
quent movements of the gallant corns are thus
given by the paper referred to: P thUS
At the close of the Mexican war this compa
ny was ordered to New Mexico, and retSed
in that section of the countv until the spri n « of
1850. From thence, in the fall of 1853
ordered to Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation and
has recently taken post at this place. The pie
ces used by it in ihe late war were left in New
Mexico. The subaltern officers now connected
with it have joined since the war, and its only
present members, then connected with it, besides
Col. Bragg, are its orderly sergeant,, the veteran 1
Philip Swartwout, and the bugler, Ernest Rett- !
berg, who now enjoys the daily pleasure of moun
ting the horse “ Buena Vista,” which bore the
gallant commander at that memorable scene.—
Both these veterans were with the company
at Baltimore, and have since continued with
it.

An Important Failure.
The Czar of Russia Taken Prisoner by an Eng
lish Steamer, (Almost.) —“ A man gets up in the
morning on his own premises, hut little knows
where he may sleep at night.” The Czar of all
the Russias has lately been within an ace of of
fering in his own person a practical confirmation
of this well-known saying. What would the
British public have thought—what would Europe
have thought—what would tbe King of Prussia
in his cups have thought—what would Omar
Pasha in his fez cap have thought—and, fu.aiiy,
what would the Tnree per Cents have thought,
if, about this time, the Czar of all the Russias,
the Archduke Constantine and the Archduch
ess, and the Russian Admiral in command at
Cionstadt, had been sent home by Sir Charles
Napier in the small steamer which had captured
them? Improbable as the tale may appear—
impossible the catastrophe—it was fairly upon
the cards within the last few weeks. The facts
are these:
A short while back, while the allied fleets
were lying before Cronstadt, an English yacht
belonging to Lords Lichfield and Euston, with
Lord Clarence Paget on board, ventured some
what too near the guns of the place. Suddenly
a puff of steam was seen on the Russian side, and
a small Russian steamer put out to sea, with the
evident intention of cutting off the English
yacht. On board o{ that steamer were the Czar
Nicholas, his son the Archduke Constantine, the
Archduchess his wife, and the Russian Admiral,
who all went forth to enjoy the satisfaction of
an easy triumph over the poor little yacht. She
is, in point of fact, stated to have been in the
most imminent danger of capture. The Czar,
however, was destined to be foiled in his antici
pated little triumph, as he has already been foil
ed in his hopes of many a great one. An Eng
lish war steamer, seeing the danger to which
the yacht was exposed, advanced with all speed
to her relief. •
Shortly she obtained such a position that the
English yacht was safe, and the only question
that reamained tor discussion was one between
the two smiili war-steamers—-the one under
English, the other under Russian colors. Could
the English but have known the valuable freight
which that little steamer contained—could the
captain but have known that by capturing her,
or sending her to the bottom, peace would have
been restored to Europe, and probably a million
ol human lives, first and last, be saved, we have
no doubt that he would have carried one or oth
er of the alternatives into effect, even though
his own destruction, that of his ship, and of every
soul on board of her had been the inevitable con
sequences. As it was, he saw nothing before
him but a little trumpery steamer—he had car
ried his purpose of relieving the English yacht
into effect—and remembered orders, which cer
tainly had been issued, to the effect that no
English ship, upon the mere heroic impulse of
her commander, should be thrust into the lion’s
mouth.
We have no doubt that was so, and that when
the English captain gave his orders for putti g
the head of his steamer round, he did so with the
feeling that he had very satisfactorily discharged
the duty with which he had been instrusted.
Little did he suppose, at the moment, that he had
lost probably the greatest opportunity for obtain
ing personal distinction which had ever been
thrown in the way of a single man. The Eng
lish nation venerates the name of Lord Nelson
for the sake of certain little affairs in which he
was engaged off Cape St. Vincent, at the Nile,
at Copenhagen, at Trafalgar, and elsewhere, but
not all these wonderful, important, and heroic
achievements combined would have had such an
important influence on the history of the world
as the capture of that little Russian ship. It was
given to the captain of a small steamer to change
the face of Europe in ten minutes well employe”!,
but in pure innocence he missed the chance.
It is seldom, indeed, in modern warfare, still
more rarely in naval warfare, that monarchs
themselves run any danger of capture. Napo
leon, to be sure, at Arcis-sur-Aube, was com
pelled to cross swords with a squad of Cossacks
in the twilight, but he was after all a general,
not a king, by trade. It we remember right, up
on one occasion, poor old George 111 was in dan
ger of capture from a French privateer off Wey
mouth, and was only saved by some marine
chance which has slipped from our recollection.
In mediaeval history there are, of course, the
cases familiar to every school boy of King John
of France, at Poitiers, and of Francis I, alter Ba
via. But what comparison would there have
been between the case ol the Black Prince wait
ing on a mediaeval king, who went to battle in a
coat of mail, and the grand surprise of the Rus
sian Czar landing at Portsmouth—not at New
haven—while all Europe was in commotion on
his account ? We are, of course, speculating up
on history of a very hypothetical character; but
still the event did so nearly occur as to justify
speculation upon its consequences.
In our mind’s eye, we can see Lords Aberdeen
and John Russell communicating the informa
tion to the Houses in their own dry and cautious
manner. What would Messrs. Bright and Cob
den have said ? What could Col. Sibthorp have
said? The newsman would have gone bellow
ing the information about the streets, and their
cries would have been regarded by the testy old
gentlemen in Belgravia but as mere leasings for
the sake of deceiving the lieges and interfering
with their digestive functions. What should we
have done with the Czar, when we had got him?
Reckless, unprincipled, and merciless as he has
shown himself to be, we should have been anx
ious to treat him like a gentleman, and make
him comfortable during his sojourn amon>* us.
But at Berlin and at Potsdam !—let us suppose
the information to have been brought in while
the glasses were well charged with champagne,
and the King and his Russian friends were de
vising a fresh counter-proposition to the counter
counter-proposition which bad emanated from
the Bamberg Conference. The Czar is taken !
—he is in England—he is in the Tower—he is
pretty well after the voyage—as easy in his mind
as can be expected—but he was very seasick.
What would the good folks in Martemburg
j and Bavaria, who have bedizened their coats with
Russian ribands and orders, have made of the in
telligence—and M. Mazzini and the Italian
Reds? There is the Emperor of Austria, too, busy
with his levies, and rejoicing at his loan, which
would have given him still higher gratification
: when he came to reflect that, the war being at
an end, he was at liberty to apply the proceeds
to other purposes.
There are, however, two sets of people whose
acts we should have been most desirous to be
hold, as the fact of the capture was forced upon
their convictions. We shculd have liked to be
in Cronstadt while the Czar was steamed away
under the eyes of the garrision. Next to this,
which would perhaps have been the most inter
esting point of observation, it would have been
most peculiarly delightful to stroll through the
Bazaar at Constantinople, and listen to the gossip
of the old Turks when they were at last con
vinced that their old enemy the Czar was really
within the grasp of the Allied Powers—a prison
er of war!
On the political consequences of such an event,
we must scarcely venture to speculate. The
imagination of the historian u[ho is called upon
to write the history of the events which did not
occur, may fairiy recoil from the magnitude ofj
subject. The little petty questions, such as those
connected with the Sulina mouths of the Dan
ube, the navigation of the Black Sea, the free
dom of the Circassian mountaineers, ta<t restora
tion of Finland to Sweden, &c., sink into com
parative insignificance by the side of the chap
ter which might have been written on the re- ;
suit of the Czar’s yachting expedition off Cron- j
stadt. The wonder of it is that all this time we
are not dealing with a table, nor with the result j
of a drunkard’s inspiration, but with the sober !
and serious fact. The Czar of Russia, the Arch- j
duke Constantine, and the Archduchess, were 1
the other day as near capture and transmission I
to England as it is possible to be without hiving !
actually incurred such a catastrophe. Such is
life and history—such a strange mixture ol
changes and improbabilities ! What an end to ;
the Russian war; and to in all soberness ;
of thought, that it might really have come to j
pass, had the captain of a little English steamer
known who were on board the Russian steamer
the other day off Cronstadt!

AUGUSTA, GA*
WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 23, 1854.
Yellow Fever in Charleston.
We publish below, a letter from a gentleman
of standing in Charleston, to a relative in this
city, (the letter alluded to by us yesterday,)
from which it will be seen that up to the time
of his writing, there had been fouiteen cases
among seamen, and four deaths. We also pub
lish an article from the Charleston Standard, to
which we would call particular attention. Af
ter reading both, we leave it to our readers to
decide, whether the rumors which have reached
us are reliable, or the Charleston Standard. It
that city is untortunately visited with Yellow
Fever, and there cases and four
deaths to the knowledge of one of her most re
spectable and reliable citizens, the daily j>apers
ot that city should not keep the citizens of the
interior in suspense by their silence, but come
out like independent journalists, and give the
facts.
Charlesion, Aug. 21,1854.
I have your very kind favor of the 19th, and
am exceedingly gratified for your kind invitation
to spend some time with you, in view of the yel
low lever, which is reported tqbe raging here.
Knowing well that myself and family would he ,
as we have always been, welcome, I would not
have waited for an invitation, but would have
dropt in and told what brought me; and you may
depend whenever there is any adequate cause
you shall see me. I will not be backward, as I
have no love for the embrace ol such a yellow
jacket. I would run from it as I did before, and
glory in so doing.
Therelhave been some cases among sailors
brought here, in all I believe 14,0 f whom 4 have
died, but 1 do not believe there has been a case
in|the city, among any inhabitants thereof so far
Should I find out to the contrary, I shall be with
you at once.
Health of this City and the South Generally.
Never before do we recollect a season in which
not only our own city, but the entire South, was
so remarkably free from all diseases of an epi
demic character. Sickness, for one season at
least, seems jto have changed its locality; it has
gone North, and while there it has been and still
is sweeping off its victims by hundreds daily, the
inhabitants of the South are enjoying the most
unprecedented health. To be sure we have heard
of a few cases of, yellow fever in some of the
more Southerly cities, but thus far, there has not
been, 60 tar as we have been able to ascertain,
and we have made diligent enquiry, a single case
of the kind either in this city or on board the ves
sels continually arriving here. There have been
a few cases in New Orleans, Mobile, Norfolk, Ya.
and elsewhere, but the/ were mostly imported
by and have been chiefly confined to the ship
ping. We are gratified to learn by a despatch
from our sister city of Savannah, that ‘here is
not a particle of truth in the report that has gone
abroad that the yellow fever is raging there in
an epidemic form. Up to yesterday,only four or
five cases had occurred, and these were entirely
of a sporadic character. No doubt the people of
Savannah are indebted for the false rumors that
have be?n so industriously circulated in some of
the country papers, to the peculiar manner in
! which their last mortality report was drawn up.
According to the Savannah Republican, the
number of deaths among the white population
of that place was twenty-seven, of which three
were of yellow fever and '"sixteen of other kinds
of fever' —thus showing that more than two
thirds of the deaths in one week were from fever
in different forms. This singular announcement,
coupled with the neglect to classify the “other
kinds of fever 5 ’ most likely led oar country
friends to suppose that they were nothing more
nor less than yellow fever. Editors cannot be
too careful iu making statements, especially in
matters relating to mortality and sickness, to so
word their articles that they cannot be miscon
strued even by tbe dullest comprehension.
We repeats that, from all w; crn learn, there
is little danger to he apprehended from fever in
any Southern city. A few cases may occur
among vessels direct from West India ports and
Bmong the injudicious portions of the lower
classes, but it is rather late in the season for the
disease to assume an epidemic form in any lo
cality. Charleston, at all events, has been and
we believe will continue perfectly free from
both fever and cholera, in confirmation of which
statement yve have only to point to the large
number of our citizens who have already return
ed from the North, after having discovered that
our city was by far the most healthy place in
the country.— Ch. Standard , 22if 2 rut.
Health of Savannah.
A ilespatch to the Charleston Courier , dated
Savannah, Aug. 22, <=ays: “ There is not an iota
ot truth in the rumors that tbe Yellow Fever is
raging violently in this city in an epidemic form
Up to Thursday last there had been only three
cases. Since then, one or two more have oc
curred. The disease, however, is entirely spo
radic, nor is it probable that it will assume an
epidemic form. It is confined to a very small
and much neglected part of the eastern end ot
the city, near the intersection of Broughton and
East Broad streets, and there is not the slightest
alarm felt by our citizens. The weather is also
cool and pleasant, and strangers visiting the city
incur no risk whatever.”
Death of Judge Huger.— -The Hon. Daniel
Elliott Huger departed this life yesterday, at his
residence on Sullian’s Island, at the age of seven
ty-five.
The people of South Carolina will hear the an
| nouncement ol the death of this distinguished
j and revered citizen, with universal regret. For
| nearly half a century he has been, the greater j
| portion of the time, identified with the public
service of the State, as a Member of the Legisla
ture, a Judge, a State Senator, and finally a mem
ber ot the U. S. Senate, in all which positions he
has never tailed to command the most perfect
confidence in his integrity and high devotion to
his State. In courtesy and dignity of manners,
in chivalrous honor, and in perfect truthfulness
of character, Judge Huger was a model of a South
Carolina gentleman. In the faithful discharge
of all his duties and in the abundant charities of
! his life, he was the model of a good citizen and a
i true Christian. Peace and honored remembrance
! rest upon his grave l—Char. Mercury , 22 d ins/.
More New Cotton.
Two wagon loads of New Cotton reached
j this city yesterday. One from the plantation of
j T. W. E. Beale, in Columbia county, six bales,
: the quality strict good middling. The other load
I eight bales, was from the plantation of Col. Tur
ns? Clanton, also of Columbia county, and was
classed a high grade of Middling Fair, The lat
ter parcel was sold yesterday for 10t cents.—
The first was not sold. Both loads were con
signed to Messrs. Crocker & Rese, ware
housemen in this city.
Dennis’ Georgia Sarsaparilla.
We would call attention to the advertisement
o! Dr. Dennis, in this day’s paper. We have
tried his Sarsapaiilla in our family, and find it a
good and genuine article. We are giatified to
learn that he is receiving orders from various
sections of the Union. We were shown one yes
terday from Saco, Maine, for a duplicate of a
previous order, which concluded by saying his
Sarsaparilla was very popular in that State, and
that the cash was ready for all he could spare.
The editor of the Sciota (Ohio) Gazetbe, a
Whig paper, wishes Blickensdkrfer had bro

Its extreme length, he thinks, will prevent his !

American Physicians in the Russian Ser
vice.—We learn says the Charleston Courier)
from one of our foreign correspondents, that Dj.
Charles Henry, of Mobile, Ala., Dr. Draper, of
New York, Dr. E. B. Turuipseed, of this State,
Dr. J. W. Holt, of Augusta, Ga., and Dr. Court
ney S. King, of this city, have joined the Medi
cal service of the Czar, and that by this time, all
have arrived at the Russian headquarters in the
Principalities.
The London Times, of the 4th inst., contains
the important announcement of the plan of in
vading the Crimea by the Anglo French and
Turkish army. This invasion, with a force
amounting to nearly 100,009 men, in all proba
bility, has aleady been commenced, and, perhaps
completed. The plan is to effect a lodgment on
the heights commanding the harbor of Sevasto
pol. The expedition is without a parallel in the
history of war;, and the sesult will be looked for
with great intesest.
Frauds on the Revenue. —James H. Young
*
agent of the United States Government at Cura
coa, one of the West India Islands belonging to
the Netherlands, has arrived in Washington.—
The Globe learns that Mr. Young has informa
tion in his possession which will conclusively
prove that several of the subordinates in the cus
tom-house ot New York have been bribed to al
low goods, with false invoices, prepared at Cura
coa, to pass the custom-house, and that many of
these invoices put the goods so low that 20 per
cent, is saved to the importer.
Sub-Marine Telegraph. —The Halifax Col
onist learns that the sub-marine cable forming
part of the line ot telegraph connecting Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick with Prince Ed
ward’s Island has been parted about two miles
from the N. S. shore, and it is doubtful whether
it can be repaired the present season. It is also
said that the idea of connecting Newfoundland
with Prince Edward’s Island by sub-marine
cable has been abandoned, and the connection
with this continent, if accomplished, will now be
direct from Cape Race to Nova Scotia, at or near
Cape North, to join the line of the Nova Scotia
company.

Brunswick and Florida Railroad.
A writer in the Thomasville Watchman esti
mates the cost of this Road at $2,259,120 00
when completed, interest and all.
After deducting earnings up to the time of
completion, say $50,000. the actual cost of the
Road will be $2,239,120.
Will a Road costing this amount, he continues
pay good dividends? Let us see. The lowest
estimate made by our merchants and planters for
cotton that will pass over this road the first year,
is 75,000 bales. This at an average of $2 per
bale is $150,000 00

Lx. Bonaparte. —We see it stated that the
resignation of Brevet Lieut. Bonaparte was re
ceived on Monday at the War Department, in
Washington, and accepted. The lieutenant is
now in Paris, where, we learn by the late arri
val, he has accepted a commission from the Em
peror in the French army.
Foreign Crops and Stock of Breadstuffs.
—The Baltimore Sun says : It appears that the
English writers have been laboring for some
time past under great mistakes, misled by some
of the organs of opinion in this country, as to
the amount ot wheat and flour that would arrive
there from this country alter the opening of na
vigation would enable, as they thought, the
large interior stocks to arrive at seaboard. The
stocks in the interior, however, have proved
much below the estimate of both many home
ar.d foreign writers on the subject. Their mis
take is now discovered, and on the eve of this
year's harvest we are left with lower stocks
than have been known for many years. The
consequence is remarkably high prices for the
season, and as the farmers are disposed to hold
back their stock, the prices of new wheat and
flour will open higher than have been anticipa
ted.
The advices from England show that the
stocks there are very light, and that millers,
; dealers and bakers have been for some time only
buying from hand to mouth, considering that a
decliinein prices was inevitable. In this they
are likely to prove mistaken, until after the har-
I vest at least. The prospects of a good Europe
-lan harvest are favorable. The Mark Lane Ex
press, 31st July, says :
r, ‘ We believe that the yield will be a good
av« rage, and the quality, with auspicious weath
er, fine; but it must be recollected that as yet
han Uy a sheaf of corn has been housed, and a
grej.t deal must therefore still depend upon the
weather. It is not easy to determine, under ex'-
isting circumstances, what would be the proba
ble? range of prices provided the harvest in this
country and on the continent of Europe should
be. “well secured. The war with Russia seems
as far from a termination as ever, and regular
supplies from that country cannot therefore be
calculated on. This will sooner or later be felt,
to what extent, we are not prepared to say—but
it may, we think, be safely concluded that after
so- comp’ete a drain of old stocks as that caused
by the very deficient harvest of last year, and
with England and France at war with Russia,
the largest corn exporting country in Europe,
, prices cannot fill at once settle down to a very
low level.”
The Miluerite Delusion. —The Salpm
(Mass.) Gazette says—“ The sect of Millerites
worshipping in this city, who hold that Chiist
will come to judge the world before the year
1854 expires, have made quite a number of con
verts and baptized them within the last few
months. A gentleman who held an important
office in our community within a year or two
was baptized on Sunday last.” The Millerites
now holding a camp in the woods in New Jer
sey have fixed upon the I9th of May next
when they and tfee rest of mankind will leave
this troublous world of ours.
Prejudice against Color in the Canadas.
—The hotel keepers in Canada exclude negroes
from their omnibuses, which has excited the in
dignation of the colored citizens of St. Catha
rines, and the waiters at the hotels there held a
meeting and resolved that:
“ As waiters, at the public hotels of St. Catha
rines, we will not continue in the service of our
present employers, unless, in the management
of their conveyances, they henceforth treat our
selves and our |teop(<e with that respect and ci
vility to which w© ara aptitiad as man ”
Death of David Veader. —We regret to
announce (says the Savanuah News ot the 21st
inst..) the death ot Mr. David Veader, which
took place at Lis residence in this city yesterday
morning. Mr. Veader was a native ot New
Tcork, and has resided in this city lor upwards ot
twenty-five years,during which period he has
conducted an extensive clothing establishment.
He was au honest, upright, and unassuming gen
tleman, respected and esteemed by all who were
acquainted with him. His disease was consti
pation of the bowels.
The Know-Nothings.— “Alhoma, 77 the Bos
ton correspondent of the New York Herald,
says that the Know-Nothings ot Massachusetts
established their 174th Lodge, at Sheiburne, in
Middlesex county, and several others weie estab
lished the same night. The Lodges are now es
tablished at the rate of fifty a month in this
State, and are fast absorbing voters of the most
active and intelligent classes.
The Montreal Herald, one ot the oldest and
most influential papers in the British provinces,
scouts the idea that Canada is to be “regalized 77
—in other words erected into a viceroyaiity,
with a prince of the blood royal to fill the vice
regal throne. The Herald says: 11 If Canada
cease to bs a colony she will become a republic
1 —whether as a member of the United Stttes
confederation or not, must depend upon events
over which she has no control/ 7
Piiildewhia, Aug. IS. —From Port at*
Prince. —The barque Aaron G. Harvey arrived '
to-day from Port au Prince, bringing a man
named John Miller, sent home by the United
States Consul at his own request, to stand trial
for the murder of a woodcutter named Myers, in
the woods in Washington township, Norris
county, N. J., about ten months since. Miller
alleges that he was at work with another man
cutting wood, when he quarreled with Myers,
employed on an adjoining farm. A fight ensued,
and Myers was killed by Miller. He escaped
to New York, in the steamer Deleware, and
shipped to London, where he says he confessed
his crime to the Consul, but was not sent home
as he wished.
He afterwards went to Tort au Prince, and
hearing there that the man who was working
in the woods with him was accused of the mur
j der, and would probably be convicted, to save
his life he went to the Consul, and confessing
the crime, was placed upon the barque. He has
repeated the same story here, and manifests no
disposition to escape the consequences.
The barque Harvey left at Port au Prince on
the 3d inst., the barque Nashua, brig Isabella and
schr. John F. Hardie, all for New York.
Logwood was plenty, and prices declining.
The health o the Island was good.
ScßirruAL Emendation by a Widow.— The
j widow of a printer in Germany, many years
i ago, while a new edition ot the Bible was print
ing at her house, one night took an opportunity
' of going into the office, to alter the sentence of
subjection to her husband, pronounced upon Eve
in Genesis, chap. 3. v. 16. She took out the
two fiist letters from a German word, and sub
stituted others in their place,altering the sentence
from “and he shall be the Lord , 77 to “and he
shall be thy FoolP It is said tbat her life paid
lor this intentional eratum ; and that some se
creted copies of this edition have been bought up
at high prices.
Bank of Milledgeville. —We have receiv
ied several letters making inquiries as to this
i Bank. We are asked if its officers are residents

' concern. We can state only what we know.—
Both the President and Cashier of the Bank of
Milledgeville reside in this city ■ and the bills
j of the Bank are redeemed at the office in gold
| and silver, or in notes of solvent Banks ot this

Fine Mules. —A drove of extra mules fed by
j that prince of mule raisers, Ben. B. Groom, of
Clarke county,and driven by James Johnson,
of Montgomery, passed through this place for
the Gorgia maiket on Tuesday last. They were
stopped in the Court House square and examin
ed by a number of the most extensive mute
growers of this county', and pronounced the
best lot that has ever been taken from this sec
tion of Kentucky to the Southern market. The
drove consisted of seventy, and a marjority of
them were were from 16 to 17 hands high, and
| all ot them were finely formed, possesing remar-
I kable muscular power. This wilt no doubt be
; j the most superior drove that will go from Ky.
| this year, and will be immensely profitable to
j the owners. They cost the purchasers all round
' $163 per head.
The reputation of Mr. Groom as a mule
grower hus already become very extended, and
this drove will add another flower to his envia
ble wreath. Such men will ever receive the
best of encouragement.
For such mules as composed this drove the
owners can always find a ready market; a supe
, rior lot has never been taken South, and they
will be sought after and purchased as soon as
they arrive at the point of destination.—Rieh

Fecundity. —The Dayton (Ohio) Gazette
gives an account of a German woman living in
that county, who had six children at one birth.
The children are now six months old, all alive,
and were in Dayton with their mother on Tues
day. They were in a wagon with her, snugly
propped up in a wine basket. They are all boys
I and small of their age.
Feeding Poultry.— Professor Gregory, of
i Aberdeen, in a letter to a friend, observes :
I As I suppose you keep poultry, l may teli
! you that it has been ascertained that if you mix
I with their food a sufficient quantity of eggshells
or chalk which they eat gieedily, they will lay
twice or thrice as many eggs as before. A well
fed fowl is disp.sed to lay a large number of eggs
but cannot do so without the materials of the
shells, however nourishing in other respects her
food may be; indeed, a fowl fed on food and va
ter, free from carbonate of lime, and not finding
any in the soil, or in the shape of mortar, which
they often eat on the walls would lay an
all with the best w.;: in the world.
The Will of Thomas Ritchie.— The me
j usoir of 1 homas Ritchie concludes with the
| following extract from the lasfT clause of his
will ; it is full of noble sentiments, so character
istic of the man:
“ I cannot repeat the advice which the illus
trious and patriotic George Mason has inscribed
upon his will. He en joins upon his sons not to
dedicate their lives to the public service. On
the contrary, I hold it is the duty of every citi
zen to watch over the interest of a country of
which he is a member, and such a free and glori
ous country as this is! Who is not proud of his
destiny 7 Who is not willing to give his «er
viees, and even his life, to the mamtanance of
the great principles on which hei; free and feder
al institutions are bssed ? America has made
one ot the greatest political discoveries which
the world has ever witnessed: a form of organi
zation which reserves to the State and the peo
ple the power ot regulating most of the functions
which appertain to governments leaving but
very few powers-and they only the most°gen
eral and yet important to the jurisdiction of the
federal authorities. Hence the separation which
15 ,“ e . \ he , constitution of those powers
which the United States are to exercise in their
ligitimate sphere; and hence the necessity of
watching over the operations.of the machinery
and represses its excesses when it threatens the
rights ot the States. We are already the great
est power among the nations. We are destined
to be greater still, but let us not be too ambi
tious of inordinate acquisitions, or too rapid in
our advances. Let us fill up the immense terri
tory which we own. Let us not be too anxious
to step our foot from the main land to the islands,
unless, as in the case of Cuba we are threatened
by the barbarians of that beautiful island, and its
conversion into a black and hostile neighborhood.
Let us not deny to the inhabitants of other lands
a free asylum into our own shores, but let us
confine ourselves to the operation of natural
causes. In thi3 way we may best acclimate the
emigrant to our free institutions. Preserve both 1
the rights of the States and the union of the <
States. These are the two great pillars of Amer- i
ican prosperity and glory.” j
