The Origin of the Government of San Juan.
Since the bombardment of San Juan, public
attention has been frequently directed to the il
legitimate oiigin of the Mosquito Protectorate.
Jnsf is a matter well worthy ol earnest atten
tmn 4 t,s it relates to the position and attitude of
Great Britain. But it should not be permitted
to turn us away from other facts relating to the
character of San Juan, and sustaining the bom
bardment We allude to the manner in which
the inhabitants of that town organized a separate
government, and fired the limits of
diction.
After the British troops had been withdrawn,
and alter the Clayton-Buiwer treaty had been
ratified, the British consul at San Juan drew up
a form of government for the town. This plan
gave to the British consul, by virtue ot his office,
a commanding influence, if not the absolute con
trol ol the action of the town authorities. The
government was not framed by the people or by
their representatives. It was modelled by a
British officer, submitted to the people, and
adopted at the time aud in the manner he had
prescribed. “His Majesty of Mosquito' 5 was not
consulted in the transaction, although his alleged
right to trie town was the pretext by which
Great Britain sought to hide lrom the world the
true character of the spoliation which she had
committed on the State of Nicaragua—the dis
honest plea by which the people of San Juan
sought to justify themselves for refusing to ac
knowledge the jurisdiction of that State.
In this—the first plan of government—the
limits of San Juan were not defined; but it was
declared that the new government and the offi
cers elected under it, should have jurisdiction
over such a district as should afterwards be mark
ed out and determined. Before this was done,
the authorities at San Juan undertook to exercise
jurisdiction beyond the limits of that town, and
beyond the limits of the territory claimed for the
Mosquito Indians. They crossed over the San
Juan river and laid hands on Point Arenas, in
Nicaragua, which was then occupied by the
Transit Company. This unlawful interference
led to difficulties with that company; and the
composition of the town government—the British
consul being all powerful—led to the outrage on
the Prometheus. “His Majesty of Mosquito”
was not consulted in these transactions, and per
haps has never heard to them to this day. He
is an ignorant savage—a bad specimen even of
the Indian race—who never thought ol laying
claim to any part ot the San Juan river, even if
his geographical acquirements were sufficient to
inform him that there was such a river on the
•face of the eaith.
In the year 1852, the people of San Juan
laodified their government, in this modified
document or act ot self-incorporation, they un
dertook to fix the limits of the town of San Juan
by extending its bounds southward across the
San Juan river, even to the Colorado; northward
to Indian river, and westward to the Machuca
rapids.- This deliberate appropriation ot territory
-—a part ot which was never claimed for the
Mosquito Indians—was made without consulting
Nicaragua or “His Majesty ot Mosquito.” Like
fhfljirigmal appropriation of San Juan, it was a
'-ffaketfiiiffflagrant spoliation. In the first in
stance, a tewu was wrongfully appropriated by
»n illegal government. In the second, a latge
d istrict of country was added to the town with
out consulting any of those who claimed to he
the rightful owners. It was a pure, unmixed,
unadulterated case oi land piracy, by a seif-con
etituted and illegal association, which did not
consult the authority under whose sanction they
pretend to justify their lawless conduct. “His
Majesty of Mosquito” was not consulted either
in forming the association or in making the
bounds over which that association should ex
ercise jurisdiction.
It is vain to attempt to compare this proceed
ing with the ordinary action ot town cor
porations. There is no similarity whatever.
Town corporations, when they act legally, act
in subordination to some higher authority; and
do not take upon themselves the attributes
Jpjapverpignty. The San Juan government did
russet in subordination to any legitimate au
thority, and it undertook to vest in itself the
very highest attributes of sovereignty. Their
apologists and sympathisers say that the people
ot San Juan acted with all due and dutiful sub
mission to “His Majesty of Mosquito,” and that
they lived under the protection ot his flag. As
we have said before, they never consulted the
Sambo chief at all As to his flag, that is all
sheer nonsense He never had a flag, and never
had a right to have a flag—no more than ‘‘His
Majesty Billy Bowlegs, of Florida, King of the
Seminole Indians. The people of San Juan
got possession of a British Union Jack and sewed
a piece of striped cloth to it, and christened it
the “f tag ot Mosquito,” in order to conceal their
attempt to form a new State based on land piracy,
under the protection of Great Britain.
outrageous conduct they had the sanc
tion consul. That was all they
wanted, for they knew that the Mosquito Pro
tectorate was a mere pretence to cover up a
fraud. And here we would call attention to the
fact, that F.ngland has acted lrom the beginning
of that pretended Protectorate, not as the protec
tor, but as the owner of the Mosquito coast! On
her own instigation and without invitation, she
seized on San Juan. She ratified the Clayton
Bui wer treaty without consulting “His Majesty
of Mosquito.” Her consul took charge of the
place—aided in erecting a government there,
and consented to its seizure o! a large district of
country—without consulting “His Majesty of
Mosquito.” Her minister to this count!y con
sented to a treaty bF which San Juan should be
ceded to Nicaragua without consulting “His Ma
jesty ol Mosquito; and then w hen the Americans
obtained the control the British government of
fered to make it a free city without consulting
“His Majesty of Mosquito.” And now, when
British influences are again in the ascendant, by
means ot large immigration of Jamaica negroes
again insists on the Mosquito Protectorate. These’
circumstances, ar.d indeed all the circumstances
connected with the case, prove that the Protec
torate is a m»re pretense—a mere sham, cun
ningly devised to conceal an act of British ag
gression, and to screen an act of British spolia
tion. having for its object the establishment ot a
British colony in Central America on one of the
routes to California. Under the pretended Pro
tectorate, Great Britain has acted as an unletter
ed sovereign; so that any settlement in the name
of Mosquito is nothing more than a British set
tlement, and is as much a British colony as Ja
maica is.
Ihe Crops, the Drought and the Panic
Makers— There is evidently an attempt making
particularly by some of the New York papers, to
get up a panic about the drought. The Albany
hx press, reierring to the cry about the corn crop
vr? 9° e '” ar 4 6 hort ol an average yield, savs:
ll the crop is one third less than it should be,
the ground planted with corn this season is full a
third greater than tnat planted last year What
we lose in a poor yield we make up in increased
acres. In our opinion the amount of corn that
will come to market during the approaching sea
son will equal that oi any lormer year When
corn appioaches a dollar a bushel, and hay a cent
a pound, the owner discovers that he can make
more by giving away his cattle than keeping
them over for another year. Jn this and the
neighboring counties every unproductive cow.
will be converted into heel as early as possible.
This fact shows that our meats will be reasonable
in price, let giatn go as it may. People have
become alarmed without cause. They forget
vaat ttie wneat, rye and rice crops were all se-
CM/etf,before the drought set in. We will be
Nort on for oats, hay and straw, but that there
wiH be any great scarcity °f breadstuff* we do
no* believe tor a moment.”
The Buffalo Commercial was this week in
tormed by an intelligent gentleman connected
WEST'? ra 1 and shi PP ir ‘g inteiests of
toe W eat .hat toe crop ol corn in the Wabash
and Maumee sections will be larger and in every
respect better this season than it has ever been
before. His means of knowing these facts, it
says are ample and fan veracity is not to be
questioned. *4e states that in the valleys of the
two rivers named there has been an abundance
Tfe# Hariqthal (Mo.) Courier refats to unfa
vorable reports of the corn crop in many counties ;
of that State, but says that in that county there ,
will be a fair average crop. The Detroit Tribune |
states that in Michigan corn and cats never look- !
|ed better. The Kentucky papers speaks of an j
i improvement in the appearance of the corn, in !
I consequence of recent rains.
Further News by the Europa.

A riot occurred at Tortosa. The rioters as
sembled with cries of “Viva Espartero!” “Vi
va the Constitution!” “Viva Cabrenal!” and
then rashed to the City Hall to demand the ab
olition ot taxes. Finding there only the Sec
retary, they beat him to death with sticks, tore
out his heart, cut off his head and flung his body
into the river with ail the public records. The
Governor of the city was panic striken and did |
nothing, but Don Franquet tbs newly appoint- |
ed Governor of Valeneis, armed the citizens and ,
took a number of the rioters prisioners.
The disturbance at Barcelona on the 6th, or
iginated thus; —A battalion was on parade at
Sarria, near Barcelona, when the people called to
the band to perform “ Riega’s Hymn.” A sol
dier in the ranks called out in reply, “Viva Espa
tero,” on which the commandant drew his sword !
and ran him through the body. The soldiers
immediately turned upon the officers, and killed I
several, including the commandant. Other
troops joined in the excitement, and disorder
prevailed. The details are kept secret, but there
w r as considerable fighting among the soldiery,
and between the troops and the people. Quiet
was restored by the efforts of General Concha.
The battalion was threatened with decimation,
but was afterwards disbanded, and two or three
of the ringleaders shot.
Numerous reports are current respecting the
intentions of France. It is stated that Napole
on will not interfere in the present aspect of af
fairs, but objects equally to a Republic or Carlist
dynasty in Spain.
The London Globe says the French Ambassa

cally aginst violence to any member of the
Royal family, or any attack on the monarchical
principle, but otherwise not interfere.

The Chops. —The haivest accounts from
I England, France, and we may say from Europe
j generally, continue to be favorable. An Agri- I
j cultural report from Ireland, says,—“ On the
i whole, there is still every reason to think that
j the grain crops will be the most abundant that
have been gathered for many years. With re- j
gard to potatoes, there can be no doubt that the j
disease is now spreading, but not to such an j
alarming extent 8s some people represent. The j
new potatoes are generally in use throughout the I
country. For the most part, the quality is ex
cellent.”
Travelers returning from Russia mention that
j all exotic necessaries of life, such as colonial pro
duce, have reached enormous prices there; sugar, !

The Queen’s Speech on the Prorogation of
Parliament, August 12.
The Lord Chancellor, kneeling, presented her
Majesty with a copy of her royal speech, which
the Queen proceeded to read in a clear and dis
tinct tone of voice, as follows:
“ My Lords and Gentlemen :
“ I am enabled, by the state of public business,
to release you from a longer attendance in Par
liament.”
“ Gentlemen of the Mouse of Commons .
“ In closing the session, it affords tee great plea
sure to express my sense of the zeal and energy
you have shown in providing means for the vig
orous prosecution of the war in which, notwith
s.anding my efforts to avert it, we are now en
gaged. This liberality in granting supplies for
the public service, demands my warmest thanks:
and, although 1 lament the increased burdens of
my people, I fully recognize your wisdom in sa
crificing considerations ol present convenience
and in providing for the immediate exigencies of
the war, without an addition being made to the
permanent debt of the country.
“ My Lords and Gentlemen :
“In cordial co-operation with the Emperor of
the French, my efforts will be directed to the
effectual repression of that ambitious and aggres
sive spirit on the part of Russia, which has com
pelled us to take up arms in defence of an ally,
and to secure the future tranquility of Europe.
“ You will join with me in admiration of the
courage and perseverance manifested by the
troops of the Sultan in their defence ol Silistria,
and in various military operations on the Dan
| übe.
“ The engrossing interest of matters connected
with the progress of the war has prevented the
due consideration of some of those subjects which,
at the opening ol the session, I had recommen
ded to your attention; but I am happy to ac
knowledge the labor and diligence with which
you have perfected various important measures,
well calculated to prove of great public utility.
“ You have not only passed an act for opening
| the coasting trade of the united kingdom and for
j removing the last legislative restriction upon the
use of foreign vessels, but you have also revised
and consolidated the whole statue law relating
1 to merchant shipping.
“ The act for establishing the direct control of
| the House of Commons over the charges incurred
in the collection of the revenue will give more
complete effect to an important principle of the
constitution, and will promote simplicity and re
gularity in our system of public accounts.
“ I rejoice to perceive that amendments in the
administration of the law have continued to oc
cupy your attention; and I anticipate gieat bene
| fit from the improvements you have made in the
forms of procedure in the superior courts ot com
mon law.
j “The means you have adopted for the better
government of the University of Oxford and the
improvement ot its constitution, I trust will tend
greatly to increase the usefuli ess and extend the
renown of this great seminary of learning.
“ I have willingly given my assent to the mea
sure you have passed for the prevention of bribe
ry and of corrupt practices afc-elections; and I
hope that it may prove effectual in the correc
tion ol an evil which, if unchecked, threatens
to fix a deep stain upon our representative sys
tem.
“It is my earnest desire that, on returning to
your respective counties, you may preserve a
spirit of union and concord. Deprived of the
blessings of peace abroad, it ii more thau ever
| necessary that we should endeavor to confirm
and increase the advantages of our internal sit
uation; and it is with the greatest satisfaction
j that I regard the progress of active industry and
the general prosperity which happily prevails
throughout the country.
“Deeply sensible of the advantages, it is my
humble prayer that w*J may continue to enjoy
the favor of the Almighty; and that under His
gracious protection we may be enabled to bring
the present contest to a just and honorable ter
mination.”

Prospects of the Growing Crops.
The last Spring was extremely cold and back
ward, frosts having occurred at a period unpre
cedentedly late in the year, rendering re-plant
ing necessary wherever cotton had come out ot
the ground. This, of course, greatly interfered
with the early state of the plant, which up to the
latter part of May had to struggle with many
adverse elements. A season of wurm and pro
pitious weather succeeded, under the influence of
which the crop grew' off finely in all sections—
the rains causing the growth to be of a very lux
uiiant character. The rains ceased early in Ju
ly, and we heard nothing discouraging until the
middle of August, when accounts became gene
ral; and particularly from this State a&d Geor
gia, of great injury sustained on the sandy lands
from long continued drought, which appears to
have prevailed throughout the entire country,
and w'berever the character ot the soil rendered
it liable, the crop seems to have suffered. Whilst
we write this, we understand that rains have re
commenced, and are now tailing generally
throughout the cotton growing region. Upon
their duration Sftd extent, the final yield of the
crop will greatly depend. If they continue for
any length of time, they cannot fail to inflict
great injury. It is yet entirely too early to form
any estimate of the probable result of the pro
duction. Veiy much now depends upon the
character ot the weather for the next eight
weeks, and upon the appearance of frost—the
advent of which, more than any other matter,
will determine the final question of extent of
yield. There has undoubtedly been some in
crease of land planted, particularly in Texas, but
the increase in the older States has been check
ed or modified by the necessity of planting more
largely ot corn, the previous cropot which hav
ing been greatly curtailed. For the last four or
live years the autumn frosts were delayed to so
late a period as to produce little or no injury to
the maturing of the youngest fruit. Should w T e
be thus lavored the present season, with inter
vening good weather, the injurious effects of the
drought and rains may be paitially, if not fully,
compensated by the ir.crea-ed production of the
bottom lands, while with adverse weather and
an early frost,the injury will be greatly increas
ed.
Rain and Hail. —The Cedartown, Polk coun
ty, (Ga.) Republican ot the 12th instant, says:
: “For the last six weeks we have been needing
rain. Not even a shower clould passed over our
town—not even a voice of thunder was heard to
revive the drooping hearted farmer. Corn was
i burning up—the squares on the cotton were fall
ing oft—and everything wore the habiliments of
desolation—until, on Tuesday evening last, we
were blest with a good soaking rain, which con
tinued for about two hours. Along with the
rain, came a hail storm, the like of which we had
never witnessed. The hail stones were as large
as a guinea’s egg, or perhaps larger. We think
that this rain will benefit the corn crop veiy
much, and we begin to believe that tolerable
crops will be made. It is the opinion, however,
of many, that the rain cannot materially benefit
the corn, as it is too far gone. We must confess
that the times look squally. What we all shall
do to keep from starving, we are unable to say.”

The Complaints. —We have lived in this
county for six years past, and every year we
have heard gievious and discouaging accounts
about “short crops”—in fact not more than “a
half crop” is ever made according to the croak
ers. Tnere is one thing, however, we have al
ways noticed—no matter how “ short the crop”
was stated to be at harvest and gathering time,
whenever prices reach pretty high figure im
mense quantities of produce made its appear
ance for market. It is true, the drought has
been unusually severe and protracted, still if the
prices of grain reach a mueber higher figure,
the capacities of the East Tennessee and Geor
gia Railroad will hardly suffice to carry off the
surplus that will be brought forward. One of
two things is true—our people manage to "live
on very little, when prices of produce are up, or
else the most of talk about “ short crops” is
sheer humbug,— dihem (Ten .) Post , Ist inst,

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5.
Telegraph. Despatches,
There was quite an excitement on Mclntosh
street, on Sunday afternoon last. It appears,
from what we can learn, that the Operators un
dertook to clean out their office of old rubbish,
and instead of burning it up, threw it into the
street. This rubbish consisted of Telegraphic
despatches sent from and received at this office
since it was opened, until 1853. As soon as it
was discovered, a number of merchants, and
others were busily engaged in overhauling it, to
find their own correspondence, and keep it from
the public gaze. The pile, however, was too
large, and by this unwarrantable procedure on
the part of the Operators at this office, not only
were the private transactions of our merchants in
former years, and their correspondents made pub
lic, but also a number of private despatches of a
delicate nature. Our merchants feel highly and
justly offended by this exposure, and well they
may be. If it receives the sanction of the Presi
dent, bir little dependence will hereafter be plac
ed on the seeresy of the Telegraph office. The pa
pers thus improperly exposed to view,should have
been kept sacred from the public eye, and if their
decstruction was necessary, a bon fire should
have been made of them. We hold, however,
that the Telegraphic Company should file away
and keep their correspondence for at least fifteen
years, for they know not at what time a despatch
rnay be called for, on the production of which
may depend thousands of dollars. We would
call the attention of the President of the com
pany to this gross outrage on our community
and if orders emanated from bead quarters, in
future, instead of being scattered broadcast to the
winds, orders should be given for their consump
tion by fire. In any other city but Augusta,
this procedure would have lead to unpleasant re
sults.
Since the above was written, we have had a
conversation with the Operator, who informs us
that the packages thrown in the street were
placed in the room where the acids were kept,and
were covered over with dust and filth when he
came into the office. Thinking them of no furth
er use, he made arrangements for them to be cart,
ed off onSaturday night,and burnt in hia piesence.
He placed them in the street on Saturday night
for the purpose of having them thus disposed of,
but was disappointed in the cart not coming.
The packages, he informs us, were enclosed in
stout wrappers, but being left Sunday morning
there, boys tore them open, and they were then
scattered. It was bis intention to have them
taken on the common and destroyed by fire early
on Monday morning.
The Charleston Mercury.
This paper seems to be a litfle miffed because
we suggested to the Charleston Board of Health
to make daily reports of the interments in that
city, and also specify the number of deaths by
Yellow Fever. The suggestion was made in no
unkind feeling—but to enable those at a distance
to form a correct idea of the present mortality in
that city.
Should the Yellow Fever unfortunately make
its appearance in our city, as an epidemic, we
can assure the Mercury that our Board of Health
will not only give the cases and deaths occurring,
daily from that disease, but the daily interments
' from all others. Eut while our interments num
ber only thirty per month , out of a population of
fifteen to eighteen thousand, the Mercury itsell
► must admit that there is no necessity for daily,
or even weekly reports.
Origin of the Government of San Juan
The insidious game of aggression and land pi
racy pursued by Great Britain on the Musquito
coast, is described under the above caption in an
editorial of The Washington Sentinel. Our read
ers will find it in another column. We recom
mend it to their perusal.
These encroachments, in defiance of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, under the shallow and ridic
ulous pretence of the sovereignty of the Musquito
King, an ignorant savage, whose authority our
government has never recognized, made the en
ergetic course of the administration, acting
through Captain Hollins, in punishing the Grey
town free-booters, doubly politic and proper.—
These people had been encouraged in their dep
redations and their disregard of the American
flag, by the idea, that they were under a British
protectorate, and that they would have the whole
power of the British government to sustain them.
It was time for a practical enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine, as Gen. Pierce understands it,
arid has proclaimed it to the world. The occa
sion was most opportune, and the parties on
whom the punishment fell have only to blame
their own misconduct towards American citi
zens, and their own folly in first co-operating in
British land stealing, and then trusting to Brit
ish protection. That the British government
would have espoused the Greytown quarrel, and
have attempted to redress the victims of her own
ambition arid bad faith, if she dared do it, we
have no question. But she could not, at this
juncture, afford a quarrel with us, her hands be
ing already full. She prefers, therefore, to dis
claim any agency in the affairs of a settlement,
actually organized under her auspices, the act
of her own officials, and to carry out ulterior
views of aggression and territorial power. The
inhabitants of Greytown have been taught, in a
bitter way, the lesson, put not your trust in
Princes, —perhaps are ready to believe that the
name that England has won for herself through
out the civilized world by her systematic treach
ery, “ Perfidious Albion,” is not altogether un
deserved.
[ It ia to be hoped, the administration of Gen.
Pierce will follow up on every suitable occasion
the Monroe doctrine, whether by negotiation, or
by the vindication of the rights of American citi
zens at the cannon’s mouth, until British authori
ty is not only formally disclaimed, but practical
ly dislodged from the Central American coast.

Messrs. McKinne & Hall have laid on our ta
ble a copy of the above work. It is written in
the usual exaggerated and highly romantic style,
which characterizes the works of this author.—
The translation appears .to have been somewhat
hastily made, and without an opportunity for
revision. Nevertheless, it will prove of inter
est to those who admire the hifalulen school of
romance.
A Soldier of Fortune. —Col. Carrigo, one
of the Spanish revolutbnists, was taken in an
early skirmish, tried by a court martial, con
demned to death, and saved by the Queen, at the
earnest intercession of his wile. He has now,
within only a few days, been, by the same
Queen, created a general officer, and appointed
to the command of the cavalry of the garrison
at Madrid.
Movement to Kansas. —The Boston Adver

Large Fjres in August. —The month of Au
gust, just closed, will long be remembered for the
number and destructiveness of its fires, and for
the varied disasters that have befallen both per
sons and property. The severe drought, accom
panied by fires sweeping through some of the
most valuable timber lands in the country, the
powder explosion atMaysville, the fall of stores
in Boston, the tornado at Louisville, involving
the loss of many valuable lives, are all included
in the fearful category. The New York Journal
of Commerce sets down the aggregate loss by
fires alone, during the month, at $2,577,000. In
this estimate no account is made of the thousands
of acres of timber lands which have been burnt
over within a short time, and rendered compara
tively valueless.
Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Crisp.

Mrs, Crisp we regard as Citizens, and as such
they’ere ever welcome to this community. As
Artists they stand at the head of their profes

tends them wherever they go.
The year which has elapsed since the Compa

woman; and the twelve months have added a
dozen charms and graces to our modest favor
ite.
Miss Dickens seems as happy and clever as
ever, and justly holds a conspicuous place in the
public estimation ; we are always glad to see her
good tempered face.
Mrs. Palmer’s rendition of Minnie in “Some
body Else” was admirable; lively, aich, and
lascinnating, and we congratulate Mr. Crisp on
! so valuable an addition to his corps.
Glorious Fuller! Not a great tragedian, but

Benton on Republics.
The St. Louis Pilot publishes the following
capital jeu d'esprit, which is highly characteristic
of Benton’s rude madness. It is very much on
a par with his silly, pompous and raving speeches
and letters:
Washington City, Aug. 8, 1854.
j I'o the Editor of the Missouri Democrat:
Sir i In 18491 stated repeatedly in my public
i speeches in the State of Missouri, (God d n
the Stale.) that the old saying that ‘’Republics
! are ungrateiul,” was a falsehood and acalumnly,
1 sir; but I now find that I was then mistaken. I
j am now fully convinced of the truth of that old
saying—Republics are ungrateful, sir. I have
been beaten for Congress in my own district, sir,
! and I know, sir, that no such result could have
been produced except by the basest ingratitude,
sir. Am I not Old Bullion, sir? Did not I, so
litary and alone, put the ball of the Expunging
Resolution in motion? Did’nt I advocate in
many speeches the reduction of the duty on Salt?
Did’nt 1 throttle and kiil that monster, the U.
States Bank? Was not lin the Senate for thirty
years, and have I not written a thirty years
view, sii? Tell me, sir, that Republics are grate
ful, sir!—No sir—it is false, sir—and if you as- I
firm to the contrary, sir, you are a liar and a
dirty dog, sir—misrepresenting the truth for 1
criminal purposes, sir. But I know who it was j
that beat me, sir—it was not the Whigs, sir—it ;
was the Nullifiers, sir—they are scamps and rot
tens, sii—they must have been in conclave with
the 6,000 victims who died of cholera in St.
Louis in 1849. Yes sir, a conclave sir-— con with,
and clavis a key, sir—locked up with them. sir.
And sir, 1 assert it, the shade of Calhoun was
also locked up with them and heid their key, sir. j
For tbesa basa conspirators against “m« and <
mine” sir,are nothing but adjuncts of CalhouD,'
sir—yes sir, adjuncts of Calhoun, sir—yes sir, |
adjuncts of Calhoun, sir—joined to him sir. Ad,

Muriated Tincture o£ Iron.
We find the subjoined impoitant communica
tion from Dr. Wildman, of Savannah, in the
Georgian of yesterday:
Messrs. Editors • —Gentlemen : I notice in
your paper of this morning, an allusion to the
“Muriated Tincture of Iron, ■ as a remedy in ca
ses of “Yellow Fever.”
Several reasons, which 1 cannot now enumer
ate, have prevented me from hitherto giving this
remedy publicity through the columns of the
city papers. Feeling, however, that it is ray
“ duty to place this new mode.of treatment before
the public,” I beg to publish the following facts
in connection with it:
1. I have treated over one hundred and fifty
cases of Yellow Fever since 21st ult., and ol
that number not one has died who commenced
this remedy prior to “ Black Vomit.” And
2. Since 21st ult., / have not administered jive
doses of any other medicine.
I give the Tincture in doses varying from 20
j to 60 drops every two (2) hours in a of
I water for adults; and smaller doses for chiidren.
| The cure is geqgrally perfected in three days
This preparation of Iron acts by medicating the
blood and exerting its styptic qualities upon the
coats of the stomach.
I would respectfully call the attention of the
medical profession in this preparation of Iron, as j
an invaluable remedy in Yellow Fever.
I am yours, respectfully,
September 3, 1854. P. H. Wildman.

Boston, Sept. I.— Further Foreign Intelligence.
The steamer Europa arrived shortly after eleven
o’clock this morning.
The foreign papers by the Europa contain but
little additional. A letter from St. Petersburg
says that not one word is uttered there about
peace, no one dare to utter it. The old Russian
war party governs public opinions. Voluntary
contributions flow in much less plentifully.
Lord Beaumont had died at London of cholera.
The Berlin letters state that Prussia is quite
satisfied with the evacuation of the Principali
ties and professes to assume openly the charac
ter of mediator.
Bomersund was the strongest fort on the Aland
Islands, and was taken by the French and Eng
lish, after several hours of severe fighting. The
particulars are looked for with much interest.
The Russians report that they gained a great
victory over the Turks at Bagajid in Asia, kill
ing three thousand Turks.
The Russian guards and reserves are advanc
ing by force 1 marches towards the Southern
frontier.
New York, September I.— Cholera at Bar
badoes.—Advices from Barbadoes to the 10th of
August. Cholera scarcely exist as an epidemic,
though cases had occurred up to the last day or
two. The total deaths on the Island was 18,-
000. The number of deaths of the military was
355.
The reported existence of cholera at Grenada
is fully confirmed. Up to August 4th the deaths
amouuted to three thousand, being nearly one
teuth of the population. At the latest dates it
was on the decrease.
At St. Lucia the cholera and deaths reached
three hundred and fifty. St Vincent, Tobago,
! Trinidad and Demarara were healthy.
; Rockland, Me., Sept. I. — Maine Whig Con -
I vention. —The Whig Congressional Convention
for the third distiict assembled here to-day
and unanimously nominate E. Wilden Farely.
Resolutions were passed against' the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, in favor of the prin
-1 cipiesof the homestead bill, the acquisition of
the Candas, and the continuation of the nation
al organization of the whig party. Mr. Farely
addressed to the Convention at length on nation
al politics.
N fciw York, Sept. 1. — The Grist and Marin
Fever. —The auction sales of tickets lor Grisi and
Mario’s first appearance took place at Castle
Garden this afternoon. The attendance was
large, and the first choice was knocked down to
Mr. Coutts at $2,50 premium, who the gentle
man so flush of funds is did not transpire. Some
3,000 seats were sold at premiums ranging from
#2O t 025 cents. The whole amount of sales,
including the first cost of seats, is stated at near
$15,000.
Louisville, Sept. I.—Later from Salt Lake
—The Salt Lake mail to July Ist arrived afi St.
Louis to-day.' Peace has been established be
tween the people of Sait Lake and aii the Utah
Indians, Gov. Young having concluded a treaty
with all the Chiefs.
The health ot the country was good, and the
rains had been more abundant than ever known
before. A much larger quautlty of land is under
cultivation than heretofore, and the crops are
abundant. On the 13th of June a heavy storm
of rain and hail spread over the greater portion
ot the valley and did considerable injury.
The grass is scarce on the plains, owing to the
large amount of cattle driven to California. It
is estimated that 150,000 head have gone through
this season.
About 4 000 persons have-gone to Salt Lake
this season, and many complaints are made by
them of outrages committed by Pawnee Indians.
A man named French, a wood teamster, was
kiiied in broad daylight, and 700 sheep have
been driven off.
The mail arrived from Santa Fe on the Ist
instant, but brings nothing of interest. The
crops oi New Mexico are good, and the trains
experienced no trouble from the Indians. A
band oi Camanches was met crossing, perfectly
friendly. The buffalo were numerous all over
the plains.
Boston, Sept. I.— Arrival of the Saratoga. —
The U. S. sloop of war Saratoga, Commander
Walker, arrived this afternoon, last from the
Sandwich Islands. She was dispatched with
the Japan treaty by Commodore Perry, which
was received some weeks since via San Fran
cisco. Brevet Major Jacob Zeiler.of the marine
corps is a passenger. The officers and crew are
ail well.
New Lork, Sept. I.— Large Bank Forgery.
l ire Chemical Bank was defrauded of $9,000
yesterday. A man giving his name as James
Bishop opened a small account a few days ago.
On Wednesday he deposited a check for $16,-
000, purporting to be drawn by James Thomp
son, on the American Exchange Bank. He
drew out $9 900, and the check tor $16,000, af
