But Where art Thou.
«V MRS. NORTON.
When poor in (ill but youth and love,
I clasped thoo to this besting heart,
on, vow °d wc alth and fame to rove,
That we might meet so more to part.
\ ears have gone by—long wearv year*
01 toil, to win my station now—
'Ji ardent hopes and sickening fears,
And wealth is mine—bat where art thou' 1
Fame's dazzling wreath for thy dear sake
Grew brighter than before to me,
I clung to all I thought could make
This lonely heart more worthy thee.
Years have gone by —the laurel droops
In mocking o’er my withered brow,
A conquered world before me stoops,
And famo is mine—but whore art thou ?
In life’s first hour, despised and lone,
I wondered through the busy crowd,
And now that life’s bestjoys have flown,
They greet with smiles and murmurs loud.
Oh! for that voice—thy gentle voice,
To breath to me its welcome now !
Wealth, fame and all that should rejoice,
To me are vain—for where art thou ? ’
(From the Liverpool Timet, Aug. 8.)
The Destruction of sau Juan de Nicaragua
in an English Point of View,
For months the eyes of the civilized world
have been turned with horror and consternation
to the east and north ol Europe. From the land
ol the Muscovite, liorn the merciless exploits of
an inhuman despotism, we have been anticipa
ting reports of wholesale destruction and desola
tion. We have been waiting in breathless anxie-
I ty to record the downfall of mighty fortresses
raised against the intercourse, of nations and the
world-wide freedom ol commerce. The enlight
enment and civilization of Europe have almost
thrown aside the most solemn injunctions of
Christianity in order to rescue millions of beings
from the sword of a tyrant and the hypocritical
professor of an “orthodox” religion. The prayers
of England and France follow their sons in a
mighty contest which i < to decide the liberties
of mankind and the fate of the whole scheme of
man’s political regeneration and advancement.
Such a cause is worthy of the grea* nations whose
standard* now float in the lace of modern bar
barism in the Black Sea and the Baltic, and
Christendom will be found to rejoice in the
triumph of their arms.
In this age of great exploits, a contemptible,
cowardly act roust brand even the greatest r.a
tions ofthe earth with a degree of reckless in
tolerance and cruelty which we had hoped was
confined to the remaining despotisms ol Europe.
We little thought that the land of the Penns, the
Washingtons, the Franklins and the Jacksons,
, —r contained men who wonld be capable of re
enacting the tragedy of Sinope, ot who, like the
Czar, would reduce a town to ashes because it
Hrefused to comply with a forced demand for the
immediate payment of a sum of money. But
the United States have done this. They have
claimed and exercised the rights of sovereignty
over the to wn or province ot San Juan de Nicara
gua froA the 15th day ot April, 1851, up to the
present hour. They bad given it a constitution,
and it was governed by a municipal council com
posed of American citizens. England had ceased
M to enforce either her own claims or those of the
King of Mosquito to San Juan, or Gieytown, as it
¥ was named by the English in 1848. The Ameri
f cans Were in lull possession ol their newly ae
v qufTed city, but they appear to have been ignor
»nt of the fact, and they therefore levy a fine of
| iJ 20 ' 000 dollars on an American city, and because
it was not paid and an apology made within
| three minutes of the appointed hour, San Juan
was la ; d in ashes. It is iortunate that a nation
full of power, and endo wed with greatness for
¥m riurnnaen ot naiumalW should have be
colt&e victim of that wjgked.tre s and cruelty,
which Wis meant fallen on the heads of
others. slaughter and desolation
was directed agaiost the helpless, and we may
add hopeless people of >’.raragu.t. But lortunate
ly it fell/on the head.-, of the people belong to the
destroyer; and humanity is left to blush more at
the destruction done by a government to its own
people than to mourn over the appalling? laughter
which a mighty State had directed against a half
civilized and defenceless nation.
|| The burningol San Juan tie Nicaragua appeal*
to have originated in a misunderstanding between
the government of Greytown and the Nicaragua
Transit Compaq. The latter, in tact, refused
to recognize the g overnment composed of United
States citizens exercising the full rights of sover
eignty. This refusal ol the company lead to
continual difficulties with the authorities and
the people, and a bitter feeling was speedily
created on all sides, and reprisals of the tnostdis
nb graceful characted ensued. In the course of these
proceedings, the Transit Company claim-
KSadtan indemnity ol 20,000 dollars, which was
chnfirmed by the United States Government.
V It appears, however, from tb-j statements now
W made, that the conduct of the company was by
V no means le'-s violent or aggressive than that
p which would have been followed by a Russian
butcher on the Danube, or an Austrian hero on
the mooring grounds at Buda. The Nicaragua
Company employ about a dozen steamers on the
Juan river to carry passengers going to and
/frbm the States to California to the New York
steamers on the Atlantic side, and one of those
steamers —the Routh— commanded by Captain
Smith, in attempting to make a landing about
ten or twelve miles above Greytown, came in
contact with a bungo, when some words arose
between the owner of the native boat and the
captain of the steamer; and during the alterca
tion which took place, the native levelled his
gun at Captain Smith, but did not lire: this ended
M the outrage on the part of the native. But the
force of the cm rent subsequently brought the
Steamer close to the bungo for the second time,
when Captain Smith wa- urged by r.n influen
tial person on board the steamer to seize and
flog the native for his insolence. But instead of
doing this. Captain Smith called for his rifle and
shot the Nicaraguan through the heart. When
be steamer arrived at San Juan, the municipa
authorities ordered him to be arrested; but withl
the assistance of his crew and the interference
of Mr. Borland, the United States Minister to
Central America, the captain escaped. In the
evening of the same day, a second attempt wa*
made to arrest Captain Smith. This created a
mob in streets, and a scufH i ensued, in which
Mr. Borland was struck in the lace with a frag
ment of bottle. This is the account given
by the/Arneriean papors of the cause oi this un
called for and diabolical destruction of the town
of San Juan.
We are incapable of indulging in those ieelings
■ which too many are so fond of encouraging,
when they find rivals or even enemies commit
ting any excess which is likely to bring a blot
upon their fame, or tarnish the boasted perfection
ot their institutions. But we must say the burn
ing a paltry town for such an absurd insult to
the American flag, or to enforce the payment of
•uch a trifling sum as 20,000 dollars, is one of the
j most disgraceful events that could have occurred
in the nineteenth century. It has but one parallel
IB in modern history, and that is the announcement
gßof the ratification ot a treaty between the United
Russia, in which the Czar’s charge
d’afj'wr* at Washington and Mr. Franklin
Pierce 5 * Cabinet of the United States, mutually
bind themselves to perfect neutrality in the pre
sent war! The neutrality of the States, pending
the contest in which England is engaged wi h
despotism, has been naturally and consistently
anticipated; but it never has been humbly solicit
ed, nor will it be mawkishly craved. Ii a sense
of honor, an abhor rein e of tyranny, and a love of
universal freedom, cannot preserve the States,
and keep her within the pale of political recti
tude and common morality, England would be
' better with her open hostility than she is with
cloaking a diplomatic spirit which
IHRsjeposes her statesmanship to the contempt and
of every Iree nation on the earth. The
IpF ratification of treaties with England, and the
of unarmed tows, are events which will
to the exclusive honor of the Pierce
and since we find that it is the fate o!
jjwjSjftitutionai countries to be burthened for a
government who nei her represent
pfcgence,spirit or opinions ot the people
\i»e America,for tolerating an A her-
Br VVaabington,
America must have her learned Thane as well ■
as England. But we question if a kilted Presi
dent would be considered a sound moralist, or a
decorous politician to fill the Presidential chair of
the Union. The press of America, like that of
England—we are proud to say—gives a far
higher tone to the moral and political history of
our times than is to be found in the act 3 of her
statesman, or in the daily proceedings of her
legislature; and the burst of indignation, which
the destruction of San Juan has drawn from the
American press, is a guarantee to the rest of the
world that whatever tolly or wickedness its
government may commit, the press is prepared
to denounce it in the name of the American peo
ple, and to hold it up to the ridicule of the whole
world. We may, therefore, safely leave Mr.
Pierce and his two great last effoits at diploma
cy and good gvernment, in the hands of those
who will deal with them as they so richly merit.
I From the Columbus Timet , 23d inst.]
The Jurisdiction and Authority of the
Supreme Court of the U. S.
As the dicta of Judge Benning in the cause of
Padelford, Fay & Co., vs the City of Savannah,
has created some sensation in the country, it may
be both profitable and interesting to refer to the
opinions of some of the leading statesmen of the
United States upon this question. Upon such
relerence it will be found that the idea that the
Supreme Court was established as an infallible
interpreter of the constitution—a political Pope
from whose bulls there is no appeal—is the off
spring, the bastard child, of Federalism, and that
all the Republican fathers have repudiated the
doctrine heresy.
On the 10th July 1832, President Jackson,
returned to the House of Representatives the
act to re-charter that monster ot iniquity, the
Bank of the United States, accompanied with
his ever memorable Veto Message,, From this
State paper we extract the following paragraphs:
“It is maintained by the advocates of the bank,
that its constitutionality, in ail its teati res, ought
to be considered as settled by precedent, and by
the decision of the Supreme Court. To this con
clusion I cannot assent. Men precedent is a
dangerous source of authority, and should not be
regarded as deciding questions of constitutional
powtr except when the acquiescence ofth- peo
ple and the States can be considered as well set
tled, etc.
“If the opinion of the Supreme Court covered
the whole ground of this act, it ought not to con
trol the co-ordinate authorities of this Government.
The Congiess, v the Executive, and the Court,
must each for its self be guided by its opinion of
the constitution. Each public officer who takes
an oath to support the constitution, swears that
he will support it as he understands it, and not
as it is understood by others. It is as much the
duty of the House ot Representatives, of the
Seriate, and of the President, to decide upon the
constitutionality of any bill or resolution which
may be presented to them for passage or approval,
as .t is for the Supreme Judges, when it may be
brought before them for judicial dicision. The
opinion of the Judges has no more authority
over Congress than the opinion of Congress has
over the judges ; and on that point the President
is independent of both. The authority of the
Supreme Court must not, therefore, be permit
ted to control the Congress, or the Executive,
when acting in their Legislative capacity, but
have only such influence as the force of their
reasoning may deserve.”
It will be seen that General Jackson goes
much lurther than Judge Benning who recog
nised the decisions of the Supreme Court as su
preme as to all delegated powers, and questioned
their authority only as to powers reserved to the
States and the people by the Constitution. Pres
ident Jackson attacks it in its strong bold and
denies its supremacy upon Constitutional ques
tions over the othei departments of the Govern
ment. Instead ot failing prostrate betore its
Vatican thunders he asserted the right of the
President and of every member ot Congress to
set up his own judgment in opposition to its de
cisions and give to them “only such influence as
the force of their reasoning may deserve. 5 ’
It may be proper to add that upon the princi
ples announced in his veto message,the President
“put himself upon the country/’ and the people
returned a verdict in his lavor by giving him
one hundred and t.iity-nine votes, and Mr.
Clay, his opponent, foity-nine votes. So that
we may justly claim that the highest tribunal
known in sovereign people,has de
cided that the Supreme Court is not supreme,
and that its decisions are not “the supreme law
of the land.”
Terrible Hail Storm in Virginia.
The Clarksville (Va.) Tobacco Plant gives
some accounts ol a fearful storm of wind and
hail, which lately visited Mecklenburg and
some ot the adjoining counties of Virginia, ex
tending as ter as from Petersburg to Gaston in
North Carolina. The editor of the Tobacco
Plant having passed over the track of the storm
describes its effects as follows :
On our journey we were notified of our ap
proach to the theatre of its action by seeing
green leaves and twigs broken from tbe forest
lying in the road, which gradually thickened and
increased until the earth was covered with a
green coating of oak leaves and pine burs. It
so happened that the road we were travelling
passed almost exclusively through the forest and
was blocked up in a great number of places by
fallen trees which were always in sight either
lying across the road or in the wooJs. We have
never witnessed from any previous storm one
fourth as may trees broken off and blown down.
They were torn up by tbe roots, the tops torn off
and largedimbs torn fiom the body, showing the
furry and mighty force of the storm which swept
over. It was a peculiarity to be observed, too,
that the trees were not wrenched or twisted off
but forcibly broken by irresistible power of the
elements. We saw only one crop of tobacco,
belonging to Mr. Burton, which was almost to
tally demolished.
Col. Finch, of Christiansville, who had ac
counts from much of the hail district, told us of
a great number of planters, recounting their
names, who sustained the almost total loss of
their crops ol tobacco and corn. He intimated
that as many as one hundred planters in Meck
lenburg county had suffered to this extent. The
fodder was torn fro n the stalks, which were
left, like Col. Benton, solitary and alone iu their
glory—monuments, we suppose ot stubborness
Os course where this was the case the corn will
shrivel and be useless except tor hogs. The hail
stones (aud we are not exaggerating in the
slightest) were in some instances as large as a
goose egg, and some gentlemen, who weighed
some the next morning, eight or ten hours after
they had fallen, found one of five ounces weight.
When the large stonesstruk the trees the bark
was knocked off entirely to the wood. Hogs,
sheep and fowls were killed in numbers. Mrs.
Daiiy, we learn, lost 100 sheep. Altogether,
nothing was ever seen by tbe oldest inhabitants,- 1
which couid compare with it. It is estimated
that the average yield of tobac -o and corn in i
Mecklenburg will be diminished at least one- :
fourth or one-third by this storm.
Boynton it seems, reaped the full fury of the
storm. All the glass nearly in the city was
broken out, and we learn that by S o'clock next
morning not a pane could be bought. We
some ot them had pains in the stomach or head. '

Adger. This suit was brought by -the owner of
the steamship Osprey, to recover salvage com
pensation for services to the James Adger. The
libel alleged that on the 27th day ot Jtfne. 1333
the'James Adger, woith about 5175,000 and'
having a cargo on board worth $25,000,’ was
piosecuting one of her usual voyages fiom
Charleston to New York, and when about 20
miles off shore, near Cape Lookout, broke her
engine and was in distress; that the Osprey,
bound from Charleston to Philadelphia, came in
sight and took her in tow, and towed her for 43
hours, and left her about 25 miles off Cape Hen
mpen, in good anchorage ground and in safety ;
that the Adger was in great danger, being ill
supplied with sails, and could not have been
Kept off shore if the wind, which was from the
eastward, had increased; and that the Osprey
was detained two dajs, and forfeited her insu
rance of $60,000 by assisting the Adger.
The answer denied that the Adger was in dis
tress or danger, but alleged that she could have
prosecuted her voyage under sail in safety, and
only employed the Osprey to tow her, and the
service was only a towing service and the libel
lant not entitled to salvage theretor.

Progress oe the Fever.— The number of
interments in Laurel Grove Cemetery
day was 7—all ol yellow fever. The number
of interments in the Catholic Cemetery was 5.
of which two were from yellow fever. Total
number of interments yesterday from yellow fe
ver, 9.
The number of new cases of yellow fever re
ported yesterday was 7.
This is a more favorable report than we had
prepared ourselvts to expect, inconsequence of
the easterlj' winds and the close hot weather
which have prevailed the past two days. We
aie encouraged to believe, as stated yesterday
that we have seen the worst of the scourge, and
that the falling off in the number of new r j cases
and the readiness with which they yield to med
ical treatment, will continue until its final dis
appearance. People should live prudently, how
ever, and continue to exercise the same precau
tion as though the disease were on the in
ciease.
The interments for the week ending yester
day, as will be seen by reference to the report
of the Board of Health, reached 67, of which
44 died of yellow fever. Os the total number
of interments, 36 were at the Catholic Ceme
tery, and 31 at Laurel Grove 6 of the latter be
ing colored persons- Thus far no colored per
sons has been attacked by the prevailing fe
ver.
A further analysis of the report of the Board
of Health shows that, ol the 44 persons who
died of yellow lever 29 were from Ireland, 1
from Scotland, 1 fiom {England, 1 from Den
mark, 1 from Spain and 1 from Germany—mak
ing altogether 34 of foreign birth. Ofthe remain
ing 10 two were born in Macon and Milledge

born and reared in Savannah has died of the fe

Junius. —Who was Junius! When will the
world cease to ask the question 1 Have the “rap
pers” been consulted, and requested to solve the
mystery? Perhaps, the individual who discov
ered, that Ben. Franklin was “ keeping a hotel
in the other world, and had Tom. Jefferson for a
boarder,” might throw some light on the subject.
Here is something that has turned up, and though
it does not exactly answer the time honored
question, will no doubt prick up a little, the ears
of the literati. The Staunton, Va., Spectator
says:
A few days since we saw, in the possession of
a friend at YVaynesborough, a manuscript copy
of the Letters of J uni us, the history of which is
interesting and remarkable. The manuscript
belongs to Mr. J. H. Baylor, of Caroline county,
Virginia, who inherited it from his father, Mr.
John Baylor. T heowner of the document sta es
that his father was sent to England in the year
1766 or 1767, for the purpose ot completing his
He went first to Putney, and then
to Caius College, at Cambridge, where he re
mained three years, or through that exciting pe
riod when the letters of Junius appeared in the
“ Public Advertiser.” He returned to Virginia
in the autum of 1772, again visited Europe in
1775, married while there, and returned in 1779.
He brought with him on his return a fine libra
ry, and at his death left among other books and
papers the manuscript copy of all the letters of
Junius, which we examined. He also had in
his possession a copy of the “Public Adver-,
tiser” in which the letters were published. Mr.
Baylor states that he has often noticed his father
examining the manuscript with intense interest.
Air. Baylor s ys that his lather oiten spoke of
the author of the letters, whom he described as
“ a tall man in the Spring and Summer season of
life, never tiring in the discharge of his work.”
VV hat could have induced Mr. Baylor to un
dertake and carry through the arduous work of
copying these letters, is a question for the specu
lation ol the curious. It is certainly a rare old
document—probably t: e only one of the kind in
the United States. A comparison with the
printed letters shows the manuscript to be a re
markably accurate copy.
Bors out at Night. —l have been an ob
server, as I am a sympathizing lover of boys.—
I like to see them happy, cheerful, gleesome.
Indeed, I can hardly understand how a high
toned useful rnan can be tbe ripeoed fruit ol a
boy who had not enjoyed a full share of the
glad privileges due to youth. But while I
j watch with a very jealous eye all rights and
I customs which entrench upon the proper rights,
ot boys, I am equally apprehensive lest parents
who are not forethoughtful, and who have not
habituated themselves to close observations upon
this subject, permit their sons indulgences which
are almost ceitain to result in their demoraliza
tion, if not in their total ruin ; arid among the
habits which I have observed tending most
surely to min, 1 know ol none more important
j than that of parents permitting their sons to be
\ in the street after nightfall.
It is ruinous to their morals in all instances.
They acquire, under the cover of night, an un
healthful state.of mind—bad, vulgar, and pro
fane language, obscene practices, criminal sen
timents, a lawless and riotous bearing. Indeed,
it is in the street after nightlall that the boys
principally acquire the education of the bad, aud
| capacity lor becoming rowdy,dissolute, crimin
al men. Parents should in this particular, have
a rigid and inflexible rule, that will not permit
a son under any circumstances whatever, to go
in the streets after nightfall with a view of en
gaging in out-of-door sports, or meet other boys
tor social chance occupation. A right rule of
this kind invariably adhered to, will soon dead
en the desire for such dangerous practices.
Boys should be taught to have pleasures
around the family centre table, in reading, in
conversation, and in quiet amusements. Boys
are seen in the streets after nightfall, behaving
in a manner entirely destructive of all good
morals. Fathers and mothers, keep your chil
dren home at night, and see that you take pains
to make your homes pleasant, attractive, and
profitable to them , and above all, with a view
of their security from farther destruction; let
them not become, while forming their charac
ters for life, so accustomed to disregard the mor
al sense of shame as to oper.ly violate the Sab
bath-day in street pastimes during its day or
evenieg hours.
A New Press. —Mr. Stephen Brown, of Sy
racuse has invented a useful and very ingenious
printing press ior the printing df four different
colors simultaneously. We went to bis roam
the other day and examined a neatly construct
ed brass model of this pres?, wh ch is indeed a
perfect beauty to look at and a curiosity to see
in operation. The inking apparatus and the
general principles are so ananged that four col
ors can be printed at one impression, at the rate
of about five hundred impressions in an hour.—
And not only can different lines and letters be
printed in various hues, but so perfect is the in
vention, that ope letter may be printed in two,
three or four colors; or printed in one color and
shaded by another, and ail with the same im
pression.
Its construction is very simple, there being
less of complication about it than we find iu oth
er large printing presses now in use.
Mr. Brown is a practical printer, and has spent :
considerable time and labor in the getting up of :
this new press, lie intends to make application j
for a patent immediately. That his labor and j

SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 25, 1854. j
Millstone Manufactory.
In noticing the various branches of industry
whicn are carried on in our city, we must not
omit to mention t he manufacture of French-Burr
Millstones, by Mr. W. R. Schirmer,who has lately
removed from bis old stand, at the upper part of
Broad street, to a more conveniently situated new
snop, located on Eilis street, just above Camp- j
bell street.
Mr. Schirmer manufactures from fifty to sixty
pair? of Stones during the year. The French-
Burr Stones are imported direct from France by
him, via Havre, New York and Savannah. It
comes in blocks about 20 inches by 10, and is
manufactured into Mill Stones by the following
process.
Ihe first thing to be done with the rough
stones is to reduce them all to an equal and lev
el surface, which is technically termed “ facing.”
Next, they pass into the hands of the “ builder,”
by whom they are put together in the requisite
form, and joined to each other by means of a
strong cement, known as “ Mill Stone Cement.”
In putting these blocks together, great care is ta
ken that no two joints shall be parallel, and they
are all of different sizes. The object of so many
blocks, and the care taken in putting them to
gether is, to prevent the recurrence ot the many
lata! accidents which have occurred from the
” bursting,” or flying to pieces of other Mill
Stones; as, by making them of distinct pieces,
Haws are much more easily discerned than when
the stone is cut from a solid rock. Another ob
ject is, so to assimilate the blocks, that the differ
ent tempers, or kinds of stone shall produce
an equal “ temper” for the whole stone.
In the next place, the stone has to be “ cased,”
that is, covered with a smooth coat of cement, to
receive the tire. At this time, also, is formed the
bale hole," which is a hole in the caseing and
stone,.lined with iron, and which affords a point
for the insertion of levers for lifting the stone.—
Mr. Schirmer uses an ingenious “bale hole” of
his own invention. Ihe stone is then surround
ed with tires which are put on in the same man
ner as an ordinary wagcn-tire. Next it is “faced,”
ti at is, the whole surface of the stone is brought
to a uniform level. From the hands of the
“ Facer” it passes into those of the “ Backer,” by
whom the top of the stone is covered with alay
er of smooth cement, worked into asymmetrical
form, which not only adds weight to the stone,
but, also, by its smoothness greatly diminishes
the atmospheric resistance. Lastly, the stone
has to be cut out for the seats and insertion of the
driver and balance iron 3, after which it is “dress
ed,” and is ready for delivery.
It will, probably, surprise many of our readers
when we state, that we observed in process of
manufacture at the shop of Mr, Schirmer, Mill
Stones ordered horn Georgia, Tennessee, Ala
bama, North and South Carolina, and that since
he has Deen in business has been constantly
employed in filling orders fronrtbese and other
Southern States.
Mr. Schirmer, not only manufactures the
French-Burr Mill Stones, but also has always on
hand and for sale, the “ uEsopus Stones,” Smut
Machines, and Bolting Cloths. He gives his
personal attention to his business, and is prepar
ed to fit up the running-gear of Mills. As he is
a practical mechanic and machinist, an intelli
gent, energetic and industrious man, and fully

The Jacksonville, Fla., News says that the
company having the important work in charge
of constructing a Railroad across Florida, have
already made arrangements which insure the
construction of the Southern fork of the road ter
minating either at Tampa or Charlotte Harbor,
The News thinks that until a full survey has
been made of these harbors and of the route
leading to them, the choice cannot be settled ;
but the Superintendent ot tie coast survey
promptly acceded to she requ -st of the Compa
ny, to cause reeonnoissar.ee to be made, and that
it w ill be executed at an early day.
A civil engineer in the employ of the compa
ny has been lor some time past engaged in a
geneial examination of the shores and waters of
Tampa.
Late from Rio.—Our latest dates from Rio
de Janeiro received via England, are to the 7th
July. We learn that some of the coffee deal
ers at Rio had w ithdrawn their stocks from the
market. It is afso stated that there continued
to be extreme difficulty in securing coffees to
the United States markets. There were also
but few vessels loading for the United States,
and our supplies therefore are likely to be limit
ed for some tine to come. But two unengaged
American vessels were in poir. The shipments
to the United States for the month of June had
been 44.992 bags, and the shipments to the same
destination Iqr the crop year ending 30th June
were 293.215 bags less then lor the preceeding
crop year.
Powder Magazine -Fired. —The powder
magazine at Maysville, was lired by some mis
cieaut at 2 o’clock on the morning of the 13th
inst. The explosion was terrific, the magazine
containing 800 kegs ot powder. Thirteen hous
es were burned, but, singular to say, not a life
was lost by the actual explosion, and but a few
were injured. One lady, however, has since
died from the effects of the iright. The citi
zens were so much alarmed that some minutes
elapsed before any would go into the street, the
general impresrion being that the “day of judg
ment; had come. When the citizens sailed out
they found the streets covered with the frag
ments of demolished houses, &c. The damage
to property is between 550,000 and SIOO,OOO. —
The Mayor has offered a reward of SIOOO for
information that w.il lead to the conviction of
the scoundrel that set fire to the magazine.
The Trip of the Artic. —The N. Y. Jour
nal ot Com. says: It has been stated that the
steamship Artie, of the Collins line, intended
! making a trip to Boston, Newport, &e., for the
| purpose of testing aa important improvement
in her machinery,just introduced. We learn
! that the plan of gomg South has been abandon
ed, but the steamer will proceed to sea on Wed
nesday, to be gone three or four days. She made
a short trip on Satiieday, which proved highly
satisfactory. 9B t
The improvement referred to is Gna which
Mr. Collins has been assidulously endeavoring
to perfect for the last two years. It consist in a
new application of steam, with a view to secure
greater power with a less consumption of fuel.
So far as experiments have been made this oh
iid seems to have been attained j but little,
however, wili be said about it, until the result
is finally and tully determined.
It is well understood that Abbas Pacha, the
late Viceroy of Egypt, was dispatched in the

is now doubtful. His successor,son of Mehemet

Mr. H. F. Russell, whose store is on the corn
er of Washington and Broad streets, has present
ed us with samples of his recent importations.—
He has three brands, “ Cosmopolite,” “ Wash

given each a fair trial, and would recommend
those who wish to enjoy the luxury of a good
Segar, to give him a call.
A musical mass to the memory of Madame
Sontag was celebrated a few weeks since in the
Chuich of the Madeleine, where the Cure did
not forget that this celebrated aitist had former
ly given a concert, the proceeds of which
had been [distributed j among the poor of the
parish. On this solemn occasion the Abbe De
guerey was voluntarily assisted by Madame de
Sparre,aiso a Countess, and Madame Cinti Da
moreau, the Queen of the Opera Comique.
The “ Native American”’party held a Con

nated John S. Warner as Recorder of Deeds:
Robt. E. Schultz as Clerk of the Quarter Ses

District Court, and Wm. Gardiner as Coroner
This p; -ty, we believe, so far as the name is con
cerned, has no existence out of Philadelphia.
The yellow lever is increasing rapidly in New
Orleans. For the week ending last Saturday!
there were sixty deaths by it in the Charity

during the week were 359 ; discharges, 253;
deaths, 86 ; patients remaining, 715.
Gov. Johnson of this State, has been spending
a few days on Lookout Mountain. He is in fine
health and enjoys the mountain air and scenery
very much. The Chattanooga Advertiser says,
that the travel to the mountain is very heavy at
this time—the only trouble being a lack oftam
ple accommodation.
Mrssoußi Election. —The fact is now es
tablished, that all the members of Congress from
Missouri who voted in favor cf the Nebraska
Bill at the recent session of Congress, and who
were candidates for re-election, viz: John S.
Phelps, dem., and Oliver, Lindley, and Miller,
Whigs, have been successful, while Thomas H.
Benton, the only member who voted against it,
has been totally defeated.
The new Legislature, according to a tele
graphic despatch from St. Louis, of the 18th
inst., comprises 63 Whigs on joint ballot, 60 An
ti-Benton Democrats/and 10 Benton Demcrats.
As the Senate is understood to stand—l 3 Whigs*
to 10 Democrats, and an equal number of Benton
Democrats, it follows that the House of Repre
sentatives comprises, 50 Whigs, GO Anti-Benton
ciats, and 30 Bentonites. In other words, the
Bentonites have just one fifth ol the House. The
result for 0. S. Senate, in place of Atcheson,
dem., is doubtful; but under no circumstances,
says the St. Louis Republican (Whig) , can Ben
ton be elected.
The Cholera in Europe. —The London
Spectator says that “ the same malady that cut
off the songstress Sontag in Mexico, and that
drove back our ships from the shores of Cron
stadt, now rages in the Piiasus ; the French hos
pital suffering severely, and the English soldiers
not escaping. It is in Constantinople, and has
appeared at Malta ; it is settled at Varna and
Smyrna ; it is ravaging Italy. Florence “ the
Fair” is stricken not less than commercial Leg
horn; and Genoa 11 the Superb,” from whose
streets of palaces, or narrow alleys of great man
sions, those fly who can during the summer, is a
hofc-bed ior the pestilence. In our own me
tropolis the deaths by cholera rose last week
from 26 to 133.”
The Paris correspondent oi the New Yoik
Picayune gives a frightful account of the ravages
made by death in Paris. The writer says :
t- The Count de las Casas married a beauty and
an heiress a week ago; they buried him dav be
fore yesterday ! Last Sunday, M. Jules Seveste
invited M. Adam, M Vi. C. Scudier, M.de St.
Georges, Feiscian David, Duprez, and some half
dozen other musicians and literary men, to dine
with him at his country seat, near Mendon.—
When they reached the house, they found the
master a corpse! M. Raoul Roche* te, the cele
brated antiquarian, the worthy successor of the
Qiiatremere de Quincy, as the Perpetual Secre
tary of the Fine Arts, expired Thursday, and
still in the meridian of life!”
Drought and the Crops. —Complaints re
specting the effects of the prevailing drought
continue to be received from almost every direc
tion. A short corn crop is generally regarded as
certain, and at the West calculations are making
yvith reference to its effects upon pork and
whisky. Upon all these questions, however, the
Cincinnati Price Current remarks as follow's :
“ That there will be a short trap of corn, is
a matter, we suppose, settled beyond dispute ;
and that there are grounds for serious apprehen
sions that the yield will be very short, the infor
mation to be found in our columns abundantly
ahos; but it is always dangerous to speculate
j upon short crops; and to commence now to op
| erate. with the expectation that corn and hogs
i will be ‘short, 5 would be only opening the road
: to'those disastrous which have been so
: generally experienced during the last two years.
| “There is undoubtedly a larger number of
j hogs in the country now than ever before. There
| is a fair surplus of old corn . there is a very large
| crop of oats ; there will be a large import of
! wheat from Canada,under the reciprocity’ treaty,
; the indications are that there will be but little
foreign demand for breadstuff*, These facts
j combined, may offset entirely, and must, offset to
a great extent, the effect of a short corn crop.”
, V< anton Mischief. —The Macon Messenger
| states, that on Sunday, the 13th inst,; some de-
I praved villain entered the burial lot of Mr. Ste
| phen Collins, in Rose Hill cemetery, and broke
| off a portion of a beautiful monument, recently
j erected. The Mayor has very pioperly offered
| a reward of fifty dollars for the detection of the
! villain, and it is hoped that he may be discover
ed. If so, the utmost ligor (f justice will no
doubt be meted out for his benefit. This, we
believe, is the second offence, of any moment,
that has been committed on this sacied resting
place of the dead. In the former case, the per
petrator was detected and committed to jail,
where he remained six months, and was finally
liberated on condition of his leaving the country.
A letter from Constantinople says a feud has
arises between Prince Napoleon and Marshal St.
Arnaud, on account of the Polish Legion, of
which Piince Napoleon is the great advocate,
while the Marshal has defeated its organization
out of deference so Austria. Both parties have
sent their complaints to tho Emperor, and it is
thought the Marshal will be recalled.
The remains ot Col. Charles Lorin passed
Jacksonville, Fla., on the steamer Welaka, on
Sunday, the 13th instant, on the way to St. Au.
gustine, where they will be deposited in tha
family burial ground. Col. Lorin, although
born in North Carolina, resided at St. Augustine
for many years previous to his going to Califor
nia. He is a brother of Col. Win. Lorin, of
the Rifles, who won such merited laurels in
the Mexican war.
Since the passage of the'law increasing the
salaries of the non-commissioned officers and
men in the United States army, recruiting is
reported to have been rapidly going on in all
parts of the country. Two hundred and sixteen
men recently presented themselves at the diffe

veoty-fourof whom were accepted.
The Great Cotper Discoveries in South
Western Virginia. —An exceedingly interest
ing letter from Mr. Cook, of Floyd county, "V ir
ginia, published in the Lynchburg Republican,
gives a minute description of the character and
extent of the copper eyres in South Western Vir
ginia, the vast beds of which must soon become
accessible by means of internal communication,
to the manufacturing and smelting interests of
the State. The following is an extract:
“ The whole distance through which the Cop
per ore has been traced and shown to exist, with
more or less certainty a:;d distinctness, is some
forty miles. Its genera] couise corresponds with
that of the Blue Ridge. It seems to follow the
sinuosities‘of the mountains, beiug upon an av
erage of about fourteen miles distant. On this
line, copper ore in considerable quantities and of
good quality has been discovered. At Carter’s
it is very abundant and of fine quality ; and the
owners of that property are now putting up
buildings and removing minerals. Examina
tions have also been made and various explora
tions are in the progress at other points on this
line—more or less promising in their character.”
The Georgetown, S. C., Pee Dee i imes of the
23d inst. says :
‘ The heaviest fall of rain since 1839 was on
Friday night last,'*when there was a tall of 12J
inches in three hours, completely deluging the
neighborhood. It did not extend more than fif
teen miles^upthe country, hence no tear ot a
freshet. It was a seashore rain 'and not general.”
The Cheraw Gazette of the 23 i instant,
says:
“ The weather is still almost suffocatingly hot
though we had a couple ot rather cooler days du
ring the week than usual. Rain continues
abundant, though not enough so as to create
alarm for the river crops.
During the past week we have had good
rains, but a great deal of corn in this section, is
past redemption, if the season continues the late
corn wiil turn out well.— Dalton Times 24 th inst.
Memphis Excitement. — A lew days since,
the city of Memphis was thrown into great com
motion by the appearance of two hundred Irish
men, who encamped in the suburbs,and evident
ly were waiting some event. The Know Noth
ings. apprehensive of evil and weak of nerve,
became terribly alarmed, cafied upon the Mayor;
had the military called out; put themselves into
a pugnacious attitude, making ready for some
great pugilistic encounter, thinking they had as
sembled for an attack, and were waiting a rein
forcement. To those timid men we would say ,
keep cool a few days, as one of our townsmen,
*E. A. Crandall, Esq , left town yesterday morn
ing, with a fuii train of implements, en-route for
Memphis, and will relieve all fears, by marshall
ing theselrishmen in throwing up "breast-works’’
on the route leading to Memphis. The road,
when completed, will very much resemble a rail
road. The only event they are waiting is his
arrival.— Chattanooga Adv. 24 th inst.
Some of the large dry goods establishments ol
?vew York are beginning to feel the effects ol
excessive importations. We have had rumors
ot lout or five heavy failures recently. The
last is that ot Messrs Alfred Edwards, & Co.,
silk jobbers, lor half million of dollars. For
mouths the sales oi many leading business men
ol the North have been completely drained, in
order to pay for goods which aie fairly glutting
their warehouses, and which it is probable will
remain there for a long time, or else be sacn*
liced under the auctioneer's hammer. Every
steamer that has recently left our shores for Eu
rope has taken out an immense amount ot spe
cie. The Arabia, which sailed trom New York
yesterday, took out the enormous sum of $1,163,
000. Can anything but failures be expected, when
we are importing to the extent of some two
millions per week, and exporting little of any
thing’except bullion ?— Char. Standard, 23d
in st.
Dry Weather. — The farms and plantations
in the neighborhood of this town, as well as
those in many other neighborhoods in this and
the adjoining counties, have been suffering for
want of rain for sometime past. Late corn has
suffered much, arid large quantities of fodder on
eaily corn has been injured by ••firing’'’ Cot
ton, too, is beginning to sufferyery materially,
as well as potatoes; and if it does not rain soon,
there will be no turnips made. There have
been rains in certain favored localities—though
very partial. —Athens Watchman , 21 tk ilnst.
Georgia R. R. —Athens Branch. —We are
gratified at being able do state that at least one
of the inconveniences complained of by our citi
zens is about to come to an end. We have been
snown a letter irom Mr. Yorige, Superintendent
of Transportation, to the lion. A. Hull, stating
that it had been determined to place a night
train on this branch ol the road, for the purpose
ol carrying the mails and passengers. It will
arrive here at o oclock in the morning and de
part at 6in the evening—the present freight
and passenger train to remain unchanged. Thus
our citizens will have the advantage of both day
and night trains, as well as a prompt delivery ol
mails anil passengers. So far from having any
grounds of complaint on this score, we presume
they will all lee! as we do, that they have got
more than they expected.
W e understand that this arrangement cannot
go into effect until the Ist of October.
Having had .occasion frequently to corpplain
of the management of this branch, we now take
pleasure in recording this evidence of a determi
nation to do justice to Athens—and we hope
that our citizens may never hereafter have any
just ground of complaint against the Georgia
Railroad.— ll>.
UaVK YIC A rIiLEGBAPH COMPANY AiVIONG
i us?—This is a grave question, and we bury the
discussion cf if, We are not an antiquarian, and
will not fatigue ourself with an effort to force
back our memory to the time when the wires
gave us direct intelligence from New York. The
; thing has been done, but all recollection of the
! event sleeps quietly in the resting place of
things long passed away. Had not our venera
ble lady friends, Mrs. Campbell’s, vehicle lost a
1 inch-pin beyond Stockton, day before yester
day, we should yesterday have had dates from
j the North some days later than hive been re
| reived by, what is, through courtesy, termed the
, Telegraph. "This is decidedly progressive, and
appeals to the gratitude of the public. If we
are to have telegraphic matter at all, give it to
us m decent kind of time, and notallow niggard- .
iy parsimony to govern entirely ameansoi com- j
mjunication Irorn which so much is expected.
The Southern Line is prosperous, and dividends
are irequentiy declared, while the most '• penny i
i wise foolish” policy has ever charac- ■
tensed its management. A northern scale of!
prices prevails the entire length at the line and i
apait Jjom this feature, the enterprise which 1
would result in giving satisfaction to the public,
and t.Citi greatijr to the income of the company
has ever been wanting. *• Contractors,” - or those
j who engage to keep good the communication i
get their contracts at auction, the lowest bidder
j winning, and are allotted a distance c r from Icr
; ty to sixty miles through a country in which
! tiie y cannot travel more than ten or fifteen miles
a day. The consequence is that the line is fre
quently down four or five days at a time before
j locality oi the break is ascertained, and often
; gets up in time to bring us a flood of news (en
tailing a heavy expense.) w hen Mrs. Campbell’s
coach is just heaving in sight behind it.
Oi the National Line, there is not much to be
saiu, as a talk to it would be very much like
talking to a wooden man. We do not know
that the corporation has either head or tail at
present, and if it has, the state of the case is
much the same, as ail members of the body ap
pear to have fallen into a Rip Van Winkle
sleep.
1 eiegraph;c advices by two steamers are now
long over due, and the details will probably
reach us first. If the telegraph, as at present
managed in the Southern country, is not a hum- •
tog then we are entirely unacquainted with
the definition of that expressive word. N 0
