BY .1 A.MRS GARDNER. AUGUSTA. GA. THURSDAY MONING, AUG. 23. ar. g:,T. —■— - w.'T-l- lFrom our F.ventng Edition of Yesterday.] The unexpected decease of ex-Senator Downs occasioned a sensation of deep regret among his numerous friends in Washington. General Downs had fdled many public stations during his career in life. He served for mar y years with great distinction in the State Legislature, and was waimiy esteemed by his fellow citi zens. Six years in the Senate of the United States brought him into connexion with the pub lic men of the country. He was a consistent democrat, an able legislator, and a thorough gen tleman. At the time of his death General Downs was Collector of the port of New Or leans, to which office he had been appointed by President Pierce. General Downs, at the time oi his decease, was about 55 years of age. Mei.ancholy Death. —The Baltimore Patriot of Friday, says : The gentleman, Mr. Smith, of Pennsylvania, whose death by apoplexy we no ted yesterJay, we learn had only been married the previous day, and himself and wife were on a pleasure tour when the melancholy affair oc curred. His wife, who left her home on Wed nesday, with so much anticipated pleasure and hope of protiacted connubial life, returned this morning with the dead body of her husband, un der feelings that no one except herself can know'. The heart, under such bereavement knoweth its own sorrows, and a stranger meddleth not with it. The Honorable Howell Cobb. —There is strong reason for believing (says the Savannah Georgian) that the recently elected Legislature of North Carolina will transfer Mr. Dobbin from the jxist of Secretary of the Navy, which he now holds, to the United States Senate. Should this occur we venture to express the hope that the distinguished gentleman whose name heads this article will be brought into Gen. Pierce’s cabi net. Our readers need not be told that in the contest between Messrs. Cobb and McDonald in ISSI, we were among the zealous supporters of the latter. Believing him to be a tried and proven patriot, we do not now regret the sup port which we then gave him, —though we do regret the acrimony of spirit which, on recurring to them, we find characterized some of the edi torials which we directed against his opponent. However, we shall not be careful to answer the charge of inconsistency, whether brought by friend or foe, based upon our opposition to Gov. Cobb in 1851, and the suggestion of his name jor an anticipated cabinet vacancy in 1854. The time has manifestly come for haitnonizing rath er than widening Southern differences of opin ion. We believe that Gov. Cobb's introduction into Gen. Pierce’s cabinet would have a most happy influence in removing these differences and in concentrating and uniting the people of the South, in behallof the administration, in the stand which it has taken in favor ol the Nebras ka and Fugitive bills, and in opposition to the gieat Northern anti-slavery alliance. Thus be lieving, we should be very unworthy the posi tion which we occupy, could pride of consisten cy withhold us Irom suggesting his name for an appointment which would be honorable to him and upoii which he would confer honor. An Important Law Suit. —There is now [lending in the Federal Court at Staunton,Virgin ia, asuit against Col. Huger, late a superinten dent of the National Armory at Harper’s Ferry. It is brought by Messrs. Brown, Beekham & Co. against the superintendent to gain possession of the strip ol land on the south bank of the Po tomac river, which the parties claim under a Virginia land warrant, laid a few years since upon ‘‘vacant land,”or land not properly included in the grant from Harper or Wager to the Uni ted States. The strip has been occupied for more than fifty years by the government works and no question as to the titles has ever before been raised. Great value is now set upon it because it is thus occupied. The counsel lor the claimants are Messrs. Walter Jones, A. H. H. Stuart, Thomas S. Ritchie, and Andrew Hunter ; for the United States, Messrs. James M. Fleming, B. Milier, and perhaps other eminent men.— They were engaged last week in taking the testimony of the “ oldest inhabitants.’' Among the cuiious old papers noticed in the testimony was the original “ Proprietary Grant” from Lord Thomas Fairfax, Baron of Cameron, to Robert Harper, dated in 1761. The trial will probably come op in October next, and is ex pected to attract great interest, as well from the value and importance of the property involved as the eminence of the counsel. It will be a conflict of master minds. Scbamyl Bey, the famous Circassian chief, has been appointed by the Sultan to the supreme command of all the Turks and Circassian forces in Asia co-operating against Russia. He is thus promoted to the higher rank recognized in the Turkish military establishment. Originally this warlike cbieltian was but the head of the Ka banda Circassians, a small tribe on the northern banks of the Terek, but his military skill and achievements have gradually procured for him tha support of all the Circassian tribes, as well as of a portion cf those in the neighboring province of Daghestan. He is de scribed as being oi lolty stature, darkcomplexicn and with very blight eyes. His physical frame is distinguished ior its extraordinary strength. His military career began in bis youth and he is now between forty and lorty-hve years of age. His air jiossesses a stern melancholy, though his manners are engaging. He speaks very little, but is the master of all dialects spo ken in his territory. 1 Telegraphed for live Charleston C\)urier.\ "L* New Orleans, Aug. 21. Later from Cali fornia. —The U. S. Mail Steamship United States has arrived at this port from Aspiuwall, with advices from San Francisco to the Ist inst. The Democratic Convention, after considera ble disturbances, split and nominated two tick ets. The trial of the City Marshal at San Francis co has resulted in his conviction. The fire at Maysville consumed five squares involving a loss ol S2S'J,OQO. W. B. Sheppard has been hung for the mur der of Henry Day.

New York, Aug. 22. —The U. S. mail steam ship Marion, Capt. W. J. Foste*, arrived at this port at 6 o’clock this morning from Charleston. Terrific Gas Explosion. The New York Commercial Advertiser states that about 10 o’clock on Saturday morning a large quantity of escaped gas exploded in the cel lar of the paper warehouse of James H. Benedict & Co., No. 10 Spruce street, and occasioned con siderable damage. It appears that a number of gas fitters were at work on the premises aU day .yesterday, arrang ing the pipes within the building preparatory to connecting them with the main pipe in the street, and a great deal of gas was allowed to es cape. During the day and last night this gas seems to have settled between the ceilings, for while one of the gas litters was engaged in the cellar this morning an explosion took place, which tore up the first floor, from the office partition on the rear to within tw’elve feet of the store door. The ceiling of the secondstory was also torn off, and a portion of the side wall of the building was driven out of plumb to the extent of about two inches. The explosion was terrific, and it is rather remarkable that no lives were lost.— Three or four of those in the building had a very narrow escape. The gas fitter was severely injured about the heal and face; but his wounds were not consid ered dangerous. He was conveyed to his home. Philip Carr, a young man, employed in the store, happened to be near the front door when the explosion occurred, and he was blown out of the window. The book-keeper was engaged at his desk in the office, in the rear, at the time, and was pros trated on the floor by the shock. Mr. Benedict was al&o in the office and escaped personal inju ry, although the walls were shattered, some of the plastering was blown off, the window was broken, and the gate of the office railing .was thrown off its hinges. The direct cause of the accident was supposed to be the gas-fitter bringing a lighted candle in contact with some of the escaping gas Im mediately after the explosion, the City Hall bell rang lor the seventh district, and the firemen and police quickly arrived at the premises, but the burning gas had extinguished itself before these forces ai rived. The damage by this explosion amounts proba bly to about $1,500. The building is new and can be repaired without much difficulty. Some glass in the windows of the stores ad joining was broken, but no further damage was sustained by these premises. The Very Last. —The last ism of the New York Tribune is bringing out Col. Benton for Congress in some northern abolition district, now that Missouri has shaken off Old Bullion. “He lives,” says the Tribune, "mainly at Wash ington, and may easily become an inhabitant of any State that desires the honor of sending him to Congress. He may become a resident of the very district that offers to choose him, but that is not necessary.” A young lawyertook fur fee a Newfound land pop, whereupon the foll#wing correspondence ensued between him and another ‘limb “Os a lawyer's first fee, if you'll tell me the name. Which backwards or forwards spells always the true, Aud do it correctly, I’ll bellow and holloa, * Tu semper eris uiihi Magnus Apollo.’ O" ANSWER. “Your riddle, received just ere going to bed. Was a long time in getting thro’ my stupid head, Till weary and worn and about to give up, ‘ I arturient montes et nastitur’—pup. B." What He Said to Him. —School Marm—(to a five-year-old boy, pointing to letter G.) —What letter is that? Young America—Don’t know. School Marm—What do you say to your horse? Young America—Go lang—two-forty on the shell-road. As a dandy fellow was wending his way through a narrow passage, he met a pretty girl, and said to her : “Pray, my dear, what do you call this passage ?” “Balaam’s passage,” replied the girl. “Ah, then,” continued the fellow,” “I am like Balaam—stopped by an angel.” “And I,” rejoined the girl, as she pushed past him, “am like the angel—stopped by an ass !” “Well,” said his honor to a negro who had been hauled up for stealing a pullet, “what have you to say for yourself?” “Noffin but dis, boss: I was as crazy as a bedbug when [ stole dat ar pullet, coz I might hab stole de big rooster, and I neber done it. Dat shows ’clusively dat I was under delirium tremendous.” A Sensible Will. —The following is the copy of a will left by a man who chose to be his own lawyer: “ This is the last will and tes tament of me, John Thomas. I give all my things to my relations, to be divided amongst them the best way they can. N. B.—ls anybody kicks up a row, or make any fuss about it, he isn’t to have anything. “Signed by me, John Thomas.” Commercial SAVANNAH, Augusts.— Colton. —No sales reported to-day.

Having terminated our legal controversy with Elias Howe, Jr., and procured his full license to use his invention, there is not the slightest claim that our machines infringe any other patent. The right to use the Machines which wo have sold, and shall hereafter sell, is unquestionable. We own ten distinct patents on Sewing Machines, covering all tho nice points of the invention, and all the Machines of other manufacturers infringe one or more of them. Our patent securing the spring whereby the cloth, «fco., is held to the feed ing apparatus by a yielding pressure, is infringed by all the Machines now offered in the market. Those who buy the inferior and piratical machines, are hereby distinctly apprised that we shall com pel them to pay us for the privilege of using them. ’ Our legal rights will henceforth be rigidly enforced. The immense superiority of Singer s Sewing Machines has been completely established. They are of universal application—the same Machine doing all kinds of work, and doing it perfectly, They are not only superior in contrivance, but un- | equalled in mechanical finish. They perform aH work required, and continue to do it without get ting out of order. We desire to ei '1 attention par ticularly to our new Maohines to sew with a single thread, which, by ample trials, have been proved superior to all others sos stiching linen and all very thin fabrics—also for sewing leather, either with a waxed thread or silk —and for quilting linings. We are also prepared to exhibit and sell Embroidering Machines, producing an entirely new and very beautiful result. Machines of extra size, both shuttle and single thread, may be had for a smalt Jt difference in price. These are found to be very popular. Machines for hat binding, stitching car. pet-bag handles, and any other peculiar work, w'di v be supplied at short notice. Machine Needles, Silk Twist on spools, Three Cord Linen Thread, and all other articles used with Sewing Machines always on hand and fersale at all our offices.

Persons while using this medicine will not be affected by exposure ti> water or a damp atmosphere no more than when in their usual health. Planters in sections of the country where the Ague prevails, will do well to t adopt this medicine, as the patient is not obliged A to lay by while under treatment, and they nxsty'Tje assured of a speedy cure.
