Charity Hospital. —The tollowing is the
report ot the Charity Hospital for the week
ending on Saturday, the 26th inst., at 5 P. M.:
Admission 426 I Deaths 143
Discharges .274 | Number remaining 713
Oi the deaths 105 were from yellow lever,
being an increase of 45 over the previous week.
But we learn that the large majority of the cases
of fever brought to the Hospital are either seamen
or persons connected with the shipping, such as
levee laborers, longshoremen, and others equally
exposed. We hear ol very few cases in private
practice, and they yield readily when taken in
time. The increase of deaths in the Hospital
last week, we think may be readily accounted
for by the suddea change of weather in the mid
die of the week, and it should be remembered
that most of the patients are in the last stages of
the diseases when taken to that institution. So
far we see no occasion whatever for alarm.— N.

The Saratoga Convention—Massachusetts
Whigs.
the platiorm put forth by the Massachusetts
” higs in their late convention be any evidence
of the position about to be assumed by the Whig
party, North, there is no practical difference be
tween that party and the convention of Woolly
head Whigs, Free Democrats, free-soilers, aboli
tionists, breeches-wearing women, infidels, re
formers, niggers, mulattoes, mestizoes, samboes,
rowdies, rogues and scoundels, who recently as
sembled at Saratoga to plot treason against the
American government, and to give aid and com
fort to the devil generally. Both conventions
have passed resolutions waging eternal warfare
upon Southern slavery. Both show that they
are inspired by only one spirit, and that is hos
tility to the South. They reiteiate the ster
eotyped lie that the South was the first to violate
the Missouri compromise, and they go in for the
repeal of the Nebraska Act, and the virtual re
peal of the fugitive slave law. They say no more
territory shall be slave territory, and no other
slave State shall he admitted into the Union.
They announce it as their intention to bring
about every contingency upon the happening of
which Georgia has said she will resist, (if need
be) even to a disruption of the ties which bind
this union. Happily we do not believe that these
are the sentiments of a majority of the Northern
people. If we did believe so, we would say in
the language of him whose thunders shook the
British yoke from the galled necks of American
freemen, “We must fight—we repeat it, we must
fight!”
We would not tolerate such sentiments as the
resolutions passed at Saratoga and Boston as the
expression of opinion of the whole Northern peo
ple, without giving our firm conviction that the
South should gird her loins for fight, and that
there should be a formal declaration of war. If
fanatics have no other business but to steal our
negroes, and are determined to carry into practi
cal effect their cowardly and treasonable resolu
tions as regards our section, let them come when
they will: The South is ready for the contest.
Let abolition march her craven hordes south of
Mason & Dinon’s line, and we will give their
codfish-eating, onionsmelling carcasses to be de
voured by the vultures, if indeed even their fetid
stomachs did not revolt at the loathsome morsel.
There is one thing to which we wish to call
the attention of our readers and that is the abuse
of the president by both these conventions, and
the abuse of the Democratic party by the Whig
convention. We first quote from the preamble
of the Saratoga conclave, which preamble was
prepared by Horace Greely:
“And whereas this congress, aided and impelled
by the Federal Executive, has, by the act curre*'
ly known as the Nebraska bill, designedly
verted so much of the compact commonly P. med
the Missouri Compromise, as excluded slavery
from that vast region,” &c.
Here it will be seen that the abolition conven
tion at Saratoga throws the blame of the Ne
braska Act upon President Pierce. Indeed the
President has cause to rejoice and be exceeding
glad at the compliment thus paid him. If the
pack of mongrel curs who assembled at Saratoga
had really wished to i jure Pierce, they should
have fawned upon him, rather than bark and
snap at him. Now let us quote from the Whig
resolutions passed in Boston :
“Resolved, That in the recent legislation [the
Nebraska Act[ which has aroused the indigna
tion of the freemen of the North, we recogize
anew the settled policy of the Democratic party, who
have ever shown themselves subservient to the in
terestsof slavery, and regardless of the welfare of
the free States; and we arraign the President of
the United States as having wantonly violated
the pledges of his Inaugural Address, as having
stooped from his high position and prostituted
the influence of his office, for the purpose of un
warranted interference with the aciion of an inde
pendent co-ordinate branch of the government .”
By this latter clause which we have italicised,
it ifc meant that the President used his influence
with Congress to have the Nebraska Act passed.
Well done, good and faithful servant, if thou didst
do so.
The only reason why the Saratoga convention
did not denounce the Democratic party as well
as the President, was on account of a few Soft
Democrats being in the convention. This was
a coalition or fusion convention in which Wm.
C. Bryant and Democrats of that ilk bore a part.
If such meetings as that at Saratoga effect no
great harm, we hope they will effect one great
good; We trust they will afford a receptacle, or
abolition sewer in which all tree-soil Democrats
may wallow, swinelike, in their congenial cor
ruption and leave the Democratic party purged
of the dross which now unfortunately forms one
of its integral elements. If it be true as asserted
by the Massachusetts Whigs that the “settled
policy of the Democratic party” has ever been
favorable to the institution of slavery, then the
party for the South is the Democratic party; and
Union Democrats, Southern Rights Democrats,
Whigs, Union Republicans and all others at the
South should join trie national Democratic party,
and prepare to stem the tide which the Whigs
North, now fully abolitionized, are preparing to
roll over the land. One thing is certain—it trie
South has any friends, North, they are to be
found in the Democratic party. Fillmore lies
iow in the dust, though alive, and Everett has
shrunk and cowed beiore the fanatics of the Sum
ner and Parker school. The potent aim ot
Daniel Webster is pinioned in the gripe of one
mightier than he, and his stalwart intellect forms
no longer an aegis for the constitution and the
couutry. The finger of abolition has touched
the Whig party at the North, and the virus
ot lar.aticism runs rampant in its veins. It
sets itself up as the anti-slavery, and the De
mocracy as the pro-slavery, party of the coun
try. By virtue of the facts of the case, the
issue tendered has already been partially ac
cepted, and the probability is that the issue which
will divide the Democratic and Whig parties ot
the country will be the issue of slavery. The
prospect now is that Seward aud Greeley will so
mould the elements of the late Saratoga conven
tion as to have them incorporated into the Whig
party. Their views and those of the Massachu
setts Whigs we have already shown to be practi
cally the same. And then note the similarity, if
not identity between the two tollowing resolu
tions, the first by the Saratoga convention, and
the second by the Whig convention in Boston.
‘■Resolved, That the deliberate repudiation by
the slave power, on the first opportunity, of the
solemn compact forced upon our fathers by its
representatives, whereby the territories now
known as Nebraska and Kansas were consecrat
ed forever to freedom, has absolved us from all
compacts or agreements outside the federal con
stitution with reference to slavery, and we now
take our stand distinctly on the principle that all
territory of the United States must henceforth
be free territory, and all States hereafter must
come in as free States.”
“Resoved, That the recent act of the National
legislature, in wantonly and faithlessly annuall
ing a solemn covenant which had stood for more
than thirty years, and which the South had re
ceived the full benefit of, leaves.no restriction
upon the action of the free States beyond the
exact provisions ol the constitution itself.”
Can any body read the above two resolutions
and doubt the identity of feeling and sentiment
ot the two conventions which passed them?
Can any one fail to perceive that the same mas
ter mind which prompted one resolution also
prompted the other? Does not every body see
that there was an understanding between the
wire-workers of the two conventions to plant
them upon the same platform? To our mind it
is evident that the great anti-slavery party is to
be the Whig party of the North, and the great pro
slavery party is to be the Democratic party of
the U^ion.
Men talk of a great national Union party. Is
there any prospect lor forming such an organiza
tion outside of the Democratic party? We can
see none. It such a party is formed, where will
you expect to get its members at the North?
They must of necessity come from the Demo
cratic party. Is that party going to disband to
form anew organization? Look at the course of
its great gererals and see if there appears to be
any chance for it. Even admitting that Dick
inson is ready for it—which we have no reason
to believe—is Cass of Michigan in for it? Is
Douglas of Illinois? Is Blight of Indiana? Is
Buchanan of Pennsylvania? The idea of a great
national Union party, besides the Democratic
party, we believe is a vain one. We see no
chance for it. Then let all patriotic men rally
to the national Democratic party, arrayed against
which are the Whig and abolition hordes of the
North Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.
AUGUSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1.
The Telegraph.
We are indebted to the Operator in this city,
for the information, that the Telegraph was not
in working order last evening, beyond Columbia.
Health of Augusta.
We understand it is reported in various sec
tions of the country that the Yellow Fever is
raging in Augusta. Such is not the case, and
our numerous readers may rely on our word,
that should a case occur, in our city, they will
be promptly informed of it. What gave rise to
the report was. no doubt, the fact, that a case was
brought up from Charleston, and taken to the
Sand Hills,and another from Savannah, which
remains in the city. Both cases we are
gratified to learn, are fast recovering. These
two cases have given no alarm to our
citizens, for at the present time the at
mosphere is too pure, and our city in too cleanly
a state to harbor the disease, should twenty cases
be biought into our midst.
We venture the assertion, that at no former
period, at this season of the year, was Augusta
more healthy than at the present time, and not
withstanding the large increase ot our popula
tion, the Board of Health Report, which we un
derstand will be published to-morrow, will show
as few deaths as any city of its size in the Ur.ion.
Health of Savannah.
Interments on Wednesday,eighteen—thirteen

Northern Whig Principles.
Our readers will find in this day’s paper a well
written editorial, from The Independent Press ,
published atEatonton. We commend the clos
ing remarks of this clear-headed writer to the
patriotic men of the Whig party of Georgia, and
the South. Their true course of duty is to unite
their aims and efforts for the protection of the
Constitution and of Southern Rights in the
Union with the National Democratic party now
so violently assailed alike by Abolition and
Whig conventions at the North, for its alleged
subset viency to pro-slavery interests.
I hat there are at the North sound Constitution
al men of the Whig school of politics, who depre
cate and oppose Abolitionism as heartily as the
soundest Northern Democrats, we readily admit,
and take great pleasure in the admission. But
they are too few to make a separate organiza
tion, at all respectable, as to strength, and they
are utterly powerless and helpless to the South
on this slavery question. They are a mere hand
ful here and could not carry a single
Congress AMR District at the North. Not a sin
gle Whig from the North voted for the Nebraska
bill. Not one will hereafter vote with the South
when the slavery question again comes up.
What National party then can Southern Whigs
form, which will have strength enough to get for
them a single vote in Congress from the North ?
None. Their alternative is to unite with the
Democratic party, or to rally to themselves and
become an party. In the lattr-i
event, they will, however, be necessarily found
acting in Congress,on the s avory question, with
the Democrats.
Commenting on the lecent Abolition Conven
tion at Saratoga, and the Massachusetts Whig
Convention, the South. Side Democrat, Virginia,
thus concludes:
1 ha conduct of tDe Whig party in Massachu
setts and New York leaves no doubt that the
contract is closing, that the bargain is made, and
the purchase money provided tor. For the sake
of spoils they have dug up the tomahawk, and
proclaimed a war of extermination on Southern
institutions. 1 hat the coalition is complete, and
its nature and basis perfectly understood, cannot
admit ol a doubt. The Whigs and Abolitionists
of the Northern States have now but one aim—
but one political, shibboleth. If it be doubted,
read the following resolutions, one adopted by
the W big State Convention of Massachusetts,
and the other by the New York Abolition Con
vention, both ot which bodies have just adjourn
ed :

the ennobling occupation
and use of free labor and
free men.
To us of the South, the spectacle has a pecu
liar, and we may add, an absorbing interest.—
We must ask ourselves where this will end ?
Four years may not roll over our heads before
we may have a free-soil President and a free-soil
Congress, and we cannot so blind ourselves to all
that surrounds us as to indulge the hope that,
having the power, our enemies will fail to use it.
Should they do it, what course remains for us?—
Is there a man, from the Potomac to the Rio
Grand, so lost to every sentiment of self respect
a3 to lie down inactive and supine, while a pack
of fanatics legislate away his dearest and most
sacred rights ? Are we prepared to permit our
property to be torn from us, and piivileges as old
and as sacred as the Constitution itself to be wan
tonly outraged and destroyed? We hope and
believe not. The word Union, like the name of
freemen, impresses the mind—strikes the imagi
nation. It appeals to us by glorious memories,
and present and prospective benefits as glorious ;
but strip either of its substantial effects, deprive
it of the real advantages which hallow its name,
and it is no longer a blessing and a pride, but a
falsehood, a curse, and a reproach.
We do not indulge in serious alarm even at
the portentous coalition of ths Northern Whigs,
Free-soilers and Abolitionists. All their forces
combined cannot avail against the South, sus
tained as she is, in her rights by the great Dem
ocratic party. It has proved itself powerful
enough to pass the Fugitive Slave Law, and the
Nebraska-Kansas Law, and it will continue
powerful enough to tdain them on the statute
book. When Northern Whigs and Abolitiouists
annihilate the Democrotic party in the Northern
States, then, and probably not till then, will
there be a necessity for a dissolution of the Union.
New Papers.
We received, yesterday, the first No. of two
new papers; one theTri-weekly Examiner, pub
iished at Atlanta, by Messrs. Daniel Sc Ramsey;
the other the Valley Pioneer, published weekly,
in our sister city of Hamburg, by James M.
Robinson, and edited by C. W. Styles, Esq
They both present a neat appearance, and their
columns are filled with interesting matter. We
wish them success.

The Westminster Review.
The American re-publishers of the Foreign
Quarterlies, Messrs. L. Scott & Co., of N. Yotk,
have sent us the July number of this very valu
able and interesting Review.
The Westminster is, perhaps, the most valua
ble periodical now published. The present num
ber contains over 160 pages of closely printed
matter, and there is not a single article which
will not amply repay an attentive perusal.
Absconded.
We understand, a young roan by the name of
Thos. P. Collins, who was left in charge ot the
Shoe store of Mr. John Welsh, (now at the
North,) on Broad street, left this city on Wed.
nesday last, for parts unknown, taking with him
about three hundred and fifty dollars ot bis em
ployers money. He is described to us as a young
man about 20 years of age, five feet eight inches
high, well dressed, and rather good looking. He
is stooped shouldered, and when walking walks
quickly. Wore away a linen striped coat, black
pants, and a black hat with a broad brim.
We understand despatches were sent in every
direction on Wednesday evening, ordering his
arrest, so he will find it difficult to get clear ot
the clutches of the law.
Harper for September.
This sterling monthly, with its usual prompt
ness is again on our table. The number tor Sep
tember will bear a comparison with any of its
predecessors, and is handsomely illustrated. The
reading matter in this number is varied and in
teresting. The return of Napoleon Bonaparte
from Elba; the Battles of the Nile and Trafal
gar, tie Dutch on Manhattan; Who discovered
the North West Passage, and numerous other ar
ticles will be read with interest.

the whole loss being half a million of dollars.
About seventy families were rendered houseless.
We noticed in our last, the murder of Dr. Mc-
Donald, at Mount Meigs, Ala., by his negro.—
The Montgomery Advertiser , of the 29th ult.,
learns that after the arrest, a meeting of the cit
izens was held, at w'hich it was determined, by
a largo majority, that the foul murderer should
be burnt. This sentence was duly executed on
Saturday afternoon, the 25th ult.
An Abolitionist Mobbed. —A plough-ped
lar named Graham from Ohio, went recently to
Cynthia, Ky., and representing himself to be a
minister was allowed to preach]on a Sunday.—
At night he stealthily repaired to the African
church, where he delivered an abolition har
angne. On Monday he was waited upon by
some citizens, and requested to leave the town,
which he agreed to do after some delay. He re
mained. however, arid rumors of his conduct
having got circulated through the town, then full
of people from the country, great indignation was
excited and he was pelted thro’ the streets with
eggs, and had to be taken to jail to protect him
from the mob, some of whom, however obtained
access to him and blacked his face with lunar
costic. At length he was got into a baggage
car and started for home.
It is said the Administration will defend Capt.
Hollins, considering him only the executioner of
their design.

J. Gardner, Esq. : —I have just noticed a
communication in this morning’s paper, from
‘‘Three Stockholders,” proposing the name of
W. L. Mitchejl, Esq,, as a suitable person to fill
the expected vacancy in the Presidency of the
Georgia Railroad- Company. Mr. M. may be a
very suitable gentleman to occupy that responsi
ble position, but Mr. King is much more so, and
it is my opinion, that the company will better
serve their own interests, and that of the public,
by making the salary of the President ten thou

than to have the services of any other man in

We received last evening the following letter
from Marietta, contradicting the report that ty
phus fever prevailed in that place. We publish
it with pleasure, in addition to those given
in the News of yesterday :

Tb the Editor of the Morning News :
Dear Sir : Having seen a notice in your paper
of Saturday last, that the typhus fever is very
prevalent in our city, we take pleasure in saying
that such is not the fact: but, on the contrary,
our city is very healthy—and that all those who
may wish to visit us may do so without feeling
the least apprehension/ And we further say
there is no disease of any kind whatever that
prevails in the place.

W KATHER, Crops, &c. —-Up to going to press,
the weather is cool and pleasant. We have had
several refreshing showers. We learn from our
planting friends in the country, that the crops of
cotton will be short this year, on account of the
rust, bole worm. &c. The health of the town
and surrounding country is as good as could be
expected for the season of the year. The cases
of fever are decreasing rapidly, and we state con
fidently that our section of Georgia, at the pre
a® healtfa y as any other portion of

Progress of the Southwestern Railroad.
We learn that very near all the lumber acces
sory to the completion of the road between
Americas and the Dyess’ Depot, has been sup
plied, and that the hands are engaged in laying
down the iron some three or 'four miles Irom the
above depot. The large and commodious house
now being built at the terminus, will be com
pleted in less than twenty days. We have been
informed by persons connected with the road,
that it is highly probable that by the first ot Oc
tober the cars will arrive in Americus, and be
prepared to carry off the fall crop. The large
Warehouse of Messrs. Mcßain & King, near the
depot, will be completed before the arrival of the
cars, and its unusual size will furnish room for
the storage of all the Cotton and Goods that
may be brought into the town. —lb
Health of the City.— lt will be seen from
the report of the interments, that theie were on
ly nineteen deaths within the city last week.
Four of them were still-born children, and ten
ranged from a month old to five years. In ad
dition one of the deaths was from an accident.
There was one death by yellow Fever in the
U. S. Marine Hospital. What the circumstances
of this case were we cannot say ; but the other
deaths show an entire absence of those diseases
which foreshadow the prevalence of yellow fe
ver. The record exhibits an extremely favora
ble condition in the public health.— -Mobile Tri

Death of Samuel W. Bowen.—lt is not
often that either inclination or duty prompts the
perfoimance of an office so sad, as the record of
the death of Samuel W. Bowen. “ All must
die,” yet that one so young, so gentle, so studi
ous, so gifted, so everything calculated to win
friends and insure a brilliant future, should be
stricken down in the very dawn of manhood—
what could be more mournful! Such, neverthe
less, is the intelligence which we have to com
municate to his distant friends. He died of yel
low' fever, at four o’clock yesterday afternoon,
at the residence of his father, Col. William P.
Browen, in the 22d year of his age.
The deceased graduated with honor, at the
University of Georgia, in August, 1852. Two
young for admission to the bar, the profession of
his choice, with a noble spirit of independence,
he sought and obtained a situation in Thomas
county where he taught for fifteen months.—
Last winter he spent at Miiledgeville in dis
charge of the duties of reportnr of the proceed
ings of the Legislature for, fwe believe,) the
Morning News. Returning to Savannah in the
Spring, he commenced the study of his profes
sioned in the office of Messrs. Law & Bartow,
and was engaged in its assiduous prosecution
when smitten down by disease.
To us, who announce little more than first
though most lasting impressions, he seemed born
to be loved. There was a sweetness about his
cheerful, modest, guileless and unaffected de
meanor, irresistably winning. Such he was to
us. What must he then have been to the fami
ly that cherished him as their pride, and, joy,
and hope ? With their sorrow, a stranger may
not inter-meddle. Heaven grant them strength
to hear its crushing weight!— Sav. Georgian

Terrible Tornado.
: Cincinnati, Aug. 28.—We learn by a boat
! just arrived from Louisville that a destructive
I tornado swept over that city yesterday afternoon,
accompanied by an awful destruction ot life and
an immense destruction of property.
I The congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian
- Church were at the time of the storm attending
i service. The wind lifted up the roof, and caused
1 the walls to tottle, and amid a scene of fright
! and conlflsion tell down into the body of the
church, carrying with it a portion of the walls.
The reports received heiestate that twenty-five
of the congregation were instantly killed and a
large number seriously wounded, many of them
fatally.
t The telegraph is not working, but as soon as
, the mail boat arrives 1 will send full particulars.
A large number of other buildings were un
-1 roofed and blown down.
I SECOND DESPATCH.
. Cincinnati, Aug. 28.—The Louisville papers
of this morning contain full particulars of yester
-1 day’s Tornado. The Democrat describes it as
■ one of the most violent storms that ever swept
i over that section of the country.
The Third Presbyterian Church, on the cor
ner of Eleventh and Walnut streets was com
’ pletely wrecked, and the entire building fell in,
including the roof, ralters, and brick wall, crush
, ing twenty of the congregation to instant death,
and wounding severely ten or twenty others.
The scene was truly heart-rending. Soon a
large crowd assmbled, and began their search for
the victims. A mother and her three children
were grouped in death. Another scene presen
ted a father, mother and babe—the. father dead
and the mother mortally wounded, while the
little child placed beneath them remained un
hurt, being protected by the forms of its parents.
In other instances, some ot the victims were
found terribly wounded and maimed.
1 he catastiophe has stricken consternation in
to the very heart of the city, and its people are
appalled beyond belief.
The following are a list of the killed :
Mrs. Vildabee and three children,
Mrs. Taylor and child,
Mr. Godfrey, Mrs. Salisbury,
Miss Headley, John McGowan,
Mrs. Martin, wife of John M. Martin, sadler,
Mrs. .Wicks, neice of Mrs. Martin,
Mr. Sweeney, Mr. Harlour, eMr. McClelland,
Mr. R. Davis a resident of New Albany
Mr. Mcßride and child.
It is thought that one or two others were kill
ed, whose names have not been learned.
Fully one hundred buildings in the city were
unroofed and otherwise injured.
The storm passed over that part of the city
lying between Filth ani Twenty-first streets.—
A splendid block of four story houses recently
erected on the North side of Main between
Eighth and Ninth streets was completely des
troyed, and two or three men, it is supposed, are
in the rums. These buildings cost $lB 000
f The f “PI"? st ™y of shef he rope and bagging fac
tory of W. A. Richardson & Co., on Magazine
street, was blown down, and the new city school
house on the corner of Ninth and Magazine-sts
siooooo 00ted ' The tota ‘ lO3S is estimated
