From the New York Evening Mirror.
With tlie Stars and Stripes around Him
“We found him as he had fallen from his horse,
his sword still firmly grasped in his hand, and the
flag he had died defending drawn across his breast
He looked a?, though he had gone to sleep, expect
ing every moment to bo roused by a call to arms.
There was not a clear eye among us, when one of
his friends severed two ringlets from the many
that olustered on his forehead, to “ send home”
to his mother and betrothed, lie was buried as
he was found—the flag, the sword, the soldier in
one grave!— Letters from the Rio Grande.
Let him lie in the dark Darrow grave you have made,
Let him lie as, dying, you found him,
Let him sleep with his hand on the dinted blade,
And the stars and stripes around him '
But first cut a leek from his long chestnut hair,
For one that the hero left weeping;
And another “send home,” and with them tell
where
The son and the lover are sleeping.
When long winter nights, at the home of hie birth, |
Are shortened with legend and story,
- Some voice in the household will tell of his worth, j
And speak of his death and his glory ;
And fancy will picture the place where be sleeps,
Beside him the blue winding liver,
The long, sloping flats where toe ehapparal sweeps, j
And summer breathes softly forever.
The mother will weep “ as she thinks of her boy,”
The ties that so tenderly bound him;
But the lad at her side will think ’twere a joy
To sleep with a banner around him !
And she the dark-eyed and the beautiful one,
Who waited so long for her lover,
Will fall asleep tearful, and dream until morn
Os joys and the love meetings over.
t When another shall kneel at the feet of the fair
To win her with sighs and with vowing,
jr She ll tell him her heart, as he pleading kneels there ;
Is tombed whore a river is flowing.
The ringlets you cut from the pale marble brow
Os our comrade, warrior hearted,
She'll press to her lips, and remember her vow
{ j Os faith to the dear one departed.
May the magnolia leaf sweep over that mound,
The first orange blossoms bestrew it;
May moonbeams, like birds, on the branches sit
round,
And the tears es star eyes bo dew it!
For never, oh never, tho eyes of a friend
Shall over that lone grave bo weeping;
But across it dark chief's their war-paths will wond
Nor know of the brave neath them sleeping.
Liad the war-horse back to the cool hazel hurst
Where the wild Merrimack is roving .
When his eye grows dim he’ll be tenderly nurst
¥ By taose that will never cease loving.
Loud the war-horse back ? There’s a horrible stain
On the saddle seat. Oh ! and gory !
’Tis the hearts blood of one for his Country slain—
Death, death is the price of all glory!
Let him sleep by tho wave of the Rio Grande,
With no proud sculptured urn above him,
There are tablets enough in his own doar land—
The sorrowing, sad hearts that love him.
Let him lie in the dark narrow grave you have made,
Let him lie as. dying, you found him,
Let him deep with his hand on the dinted blade,
And the stars and stripes around him.

Extracts from the Forthcoming Autobiography of
Vincent Nolle, the Great Cotton Speculate).
Vincent Nolte, the great speculator, financier,
and traveller, was born in Leghorn, Nov. 21st,
1779, and is, consequently, now in his 75th year.
S Hist father, though a native of Hamburg and
educated iu England, had follow T ed the meican
tiie hiiMuess for thirty years in Italy, in connec
tion, as clerk or partner, with the firm of Otto,
Franck & Co., of Leghorn. After enjoying the
private instructions oj Professor C. P. Kipp,
young Noite entered, in 1795, the counting room
of his father, but in the latter part of 1797 he
removed to Hamburg, sojourning there until his
departure lor Paris in 18U4, when Napoleon was
in the full flush of his success, in the same
—y r ear Nolte became acquainted with the house of
Labouchait. Troteau, at Nantes, for the exten
sh n of w.iose business he subsequently proceed
ed to the United States About this tune he al
so became interested in the projects of the cele
brated Fiench banker, G. J. Onvrard whose re
markable finaoc.ai adventures occupy a consid
erate portion of the. work before us.
This production, entitled "Fifty Fears in Both
Hemispheres,” finished by the author at Ham
burg, in his 74th year, has been translated from
the German, and just published for ReJfield, of
this city. It is a vivid chronicle of varied and
remarkable experiences, and will seive to recti
fy the errois which too often pass among men as
Noite was a German citi.-. a n of the United
States, born in Italy, and lived all over. He
flat boats at Pittsburgh !or the navigation of
* tRe"- shouted among the crowd who
cheered Robert Fulton's steamboat as she lirst
started from the wharf at New York. He has
been wrecked off the coast of Florida, and im
prisoned in the Queen’s Bench, at London. He
was suspected of having the plague at Malta
and had the yellow’ lever in New Orleans. He
» peeped into the crater or Etna, and was shaken
by the earthquake at Louisville. Napoleon’s
whole career, and Aaron Burr’s conspiracy, are
made a couple of items in his extraordinary exis
tence.
Tnis Yankee cotton speculator arranged the
converson of a loan for his Holiness the Pope.
This confidential adviser of the Austrian Pre
mier Von Knebeck, w’as a soldier of General
Jackson, at the battle of New Orleans. This
Commissary ol Louis Phiilippe and Di ke Charles
oi Brunswick, was the intimate friend of the re
publican Lafayette. This lover of Livornese
opera girls was mingled iri the plaus ol Nicholas
Biddle. This handler and and possessor ot un
told thousands of millions of money, lived on
bread and cheese in Venice, and to get even that
much, translated some English title-deeds for the
monks of San Lorenzo.
The very names rn this volume are wonder
ful. Kings, Emperors, Presidents and Popes
jostle each other through its pages. Poets and
painters are critisized and gossipped about—
Chantrey and No!leke.,s, Delarocbe and Dela
croix, Nerly and Landseer. Now you have a
story of Goethe, and again an anecdote of Cha
teaubriand. Byron and Lamartine, Kotzebue
and Cooper come quite familialty to the tip of
his pen, and W’hen tired of telling what he knows
about those, he writes verses himself—verses of
great mediocrity. •
One of the richest of' modern merchants and
most daring of speculators, he yet never neglect
ed his love lor art nor his talent with the cray
on. \\ uen his commercial greatness had culmi
nates and waned, he became everything by turns
—commissary for arms and provisions; agent for
a machine to engrave ciicular lines; editor ol the
little tree port newspaper ol Hamburg; political
squib-w riter in the Lnited States; clerk in a third
class house ol business; tianslator oi manuscript
tor Italian friars.
1 Vain, amusing, garrulous, scandalous old fel
low; with the dryest common sense, that is not
to be tiicked; w ith the keenest eye lor a defect
oitber in person or character, and a hitter or
comic humor to help him in describing it. M r
Vincent Noite presents to our eyes one of the
most curious tile-panoramas that is possible to
see.
You must take his personalities, especially
about people here, come grano salis. He seldom
looks at the bright side ol a character, and dearly
loves—he confesses it—a bit ol scandal But he
paints well, describes well, seizes characteristics
which make clear to the reader the nature ol the
man whom they illustrate.
We proceed to make some extracts irom Xolte s
autobiography, beginning with his first visit to
the United States:
NEW ORLEANS IN 1806. MCDOEOUGH, THE MIL
*3KJ* " LION Al RE.
The greater part of the then existing population
was ol French origin. In the city itself the
French number at least three-fifths of the in
habitants ; one other fifth was of Spanish race
and another Americans, among whom were
,ome Germans. Tha city numbered about 16,-
000 souls of whom one-third weie people of
color and slaves. The mercantile class was
made up of four or five Fiench establishments,
springing from the neighborhood of the Garonne
and founded during the continuance of the
French rule; three Scotch counting houses, one
German concern, and eight or tea commission
houses, lately opened by young American mer
chants from New York, Philadelphia and Balti
more. The traces of this class, who carried on
the early business of New Orleans under the
new regime, are now limited to the sugar-plan
ter Shepard, who i 3 still living ‘and now very
wealthy, and to the still more opulent Mr. W.
M. Montgomery, formerly wholesale grocer,
and now the owner of a large portion of the
northwestern section of the State, who lives
partly at New York and partly at Paris. Shep
herd, whom I have just named, who was but
two and twenty when he came from Baltimore
to New Orleans, was accompanied thither by a
young American from the same place, who could
not have been more than a few years older than
himself. The latter brought some six or eight
thousand dollars with him, and after, for a con
siderable time, exploring all sorts ot uncultivated
lands lying along the Mississippi, made a choice
and purebasee. This young man was John
McDonough, who made such a constant parade
ot the lands he had bought, so well understood
the game of making fictitious sales to his friend
Shepherd at very high rates, and through him to
others at still higher prices, and puisued this
system, observing, at the same time, great fru
gality at home,so long and so skillful, that at
length real purchasers fell into his net and made
themselves part and parcel of it. McDonough
talked very little and seldom mixed in general
conversation, especially with 1 dies, whose so
ciety he avoided as much as possible. When he
did open his lips, all that fell from them was
praise of certain lands he had just purchased, and
this theme was inexhaustib'e. It was not in
Louisiana alone that he canied on this system
but also in neighboring States, and he continued
it for more than forty years. He had passed his
spare time in looking after the educction of some
children in the neighborhood of his homely resi
dence on an estate, or, as they call it in the South
a plantation, belonging to him. He also occu
pied himsell with the amature study of medi
cine. McDonough died in October, 1851. and,
upon the opening of his will, it was dicovered
that at the time of his death, he owned four
lifths of all the uncultivated lands in the State
ot Louisiana, and as many tracts of territory in
other States to the very considerable amount of
fifteen millions of dollars. During the lapse of
some thirty four years, I saw him very frequent
ly, the last time in 1839, and knew but one re
lation of his, a brother, who was a pilot, and died
early, if I am not mistaken, of the yellow fever.
McDonough himself died without heirs, either
direct or collateral, and has made over his whole
property to the government of the United States,
i that it shall expend the same in the establish
i roent of public schools.
Beside 3 this general direction, there are a nurn
! ber of small bequests and codicils of very curi
ous nature appended to his will. One of the
1 oldest of these is the bequest made to Leon Goz
: lan, in Paris. This well known writer some
years ago published a romance called the “Med
icine du Pecq,” which in every point of view,
but especially by some very peculiar and pro
found physchological studies, attracted the great
est notice throughout France. The editor of the
Courrier des Etats Unis republished it in the
! ieuilleton of that widely circulated paper, and
it thus fell into the hands of Mr. McDonough,
; who read it at home in his solitary hours, and
was so charmed with some of the authors’s ob
servations on the world and men, that he made
him his heir to the amount of ten thousand dol-
I iar?. This sum was lately handed to Mr. Goz
i lan by Mr. Rives, the late American ambassa
dor at Paiis, in a check on the house of Albrecht
<!« Co., in Havre.
REMINISCENCES OF STEPHEN GIRARD.
I cannot let this opportunity slip by without
! saying something of another mercantile celebrity
| of the United Siates, viz: Stephen Girard. This
i man was born in a village near the banks of the
| Garonne. He was the son of a peasant, and had
I left his own country as a common sailor. Hav
; ing gradually risen to the post of a second mate,
j he came as such to Philadelphia, where he re
mained and opened a tavern on the banks oi the
i Delaware tor such of his own countrymen as
j were engaged in the West India trade, particu
larly that with St. Domingo. The revolution in
St. Domingo caused an emigration which con
tinually brought him fresh customers, and, hav
ing built some small vessels to bring his fugitive
countrymen away in safety Irora the island, he
bartered flour and meal for coffee, until his capi-
I tal, which had been scarcely worth mentioning
at first, gradually increased, and enabled him to
build larger vessels, and extend his spirit of en-
I terpnse in all directions. His frugality bordered
l on avarice. Soldier’s fare was to him the best,
and the freighting ot vessels his lavorite pursuit.
The success which attended his exertions at
length became unexampled; for he never had
his ships insured, but always chose skilful and
experienced captains, thus saving himself the
heavy expense of taking out insurance policies,
and continued acting on this principle, gradually
increasing his capital more and more, until it had
finally swelled to an enormous amount. Illite
rate, as a French common sailor must needs be,
and scaicely able to write his own name, he call
' ed all his ships after the great authors of his na
tive country, and thus enjoyed the sensation cf
i beholding the American flag waving above a
; Montesquieu, a Voltaire, a Helvetius, and a Jean
Jacques Rousseau. Hts ships, which he was in
! the habit of sending successively to the i land
Mauritius, at that time the Isle de France, to
Calcutta and Canton, and each of w hich cost
from forty to sixty thousand glollars, brought
back cargoes worth from one to two hundred
* thousand dollars to Philadelphia, and thence to
Europe, particularly to Messrs. Hope & Co., at
Amsterdam,and were never insured. Remark
j able good fortune attended all these enterprises.
Until the year 1815, not one of his ships wasever
lost or captured. It will be easy to form an idea
I of the amount of capital accumulated by this
saving of insurance premiums, when one reflects
that the latter went as high as from ten to fifteen
and even twenty per cent.
Girard's right hand man was a countryman of
his, named Roberjeot, who, however, had receiv
ed his mercantile education, entirely at Ham
burg, under the tutelage ol Pro;essor Busch.—
1 his Roberjeot was the enly man whom he now
1 and then, and only now and then, took into his
especial confidence, and he worked in the house
| oi Girard for a respectable, yet very moderate
salary, during the lapse of twenty years; fre
quently something was said, about increasing it,
but nothing o: the sort was ever done. Rober
j jeot, who had some desire to be taken care of in
| his old age, resolved to let his patron know that
if he desired to keep him any longer, he must
1 take that mattar into serious consideration, and
give him a handsome sum, that he might put
aside and turn to good account. Girard,"a little
nettled by this, replied that he would give him
ten thousand dollars, but Roberjeot demanded
sixty. He was told to await the nex: day, when,
! without hearing another word in relation to the
matter, he received what he asked lor—6ixty
thousand dollars.
Magnanimous as Girard could be in many
things, he was, on the other hand, equally petty
in many others. Os his numerous relatives in
h ranee, who were all poor peasant folks, he
would never hear a syllable mentioned. When
some of them upon one occasion ventured to
cross the ocean and visit him in Philadelphia, he
immediately sent them away again, with a tri
fling present. In one particular instance he ex
hibited unusual nard-heartedness. His captains
had received the strictest orders not to bring
either strange goods, passengers or letters back
with them. One ol his ships was returning from
Bordeaux, and through another which had” hur
ried on before it, he learned that it was convey
ing him some relations of his as passengers; he
instantly sent to New Castle, on the Delaware,
where the ships coming from sea usually touch,
an order to the captain, forbidding him to land
any passengers, but to remain at that point un
til another had been procured to take them back
to Bordeaux, when he might come up to Phila
delphia with his cargo. The captain was then
re-placed by another person. He, however,
made an exception in favor of two nieces, the
orphaned daughters of a brother who had died in
poverty. He allowed these girls to come to him,
and gave one of them permission, along with
some twenty thousand dollars, to marry the
brother of General Lallemont, who had emi
grated to America upon the restoration of the
Bourbons, after the battle of Waterloo. In his
will he bequeathed to the other an equal sum.

Further Foreign News.
From the mails by the U. S. Mail Steamship
Pacific, which left Liverpool on the morning of
the 23d ult., we take the tollowing:
The War. — Capture of Bomarsund. —At the
surrender of Bomarsund to the allies, on the 16th,
with its garrison of 2,000, as prisoners of war.
no other result could have been expected, for it
was impossible that 2,000 could long have held
out against a besieging army of twelve thousand,
supported by a fleet in force. It was reported
that a considerable proportion of the garrison had
succeeded in retiring, and that it was intended
entirely to evacuate and destroy the works, hot
the attack by the allies prevented this intenti&n
from being fully carried into effect. No fewer
than fifteen sail ot the line, (of which four ships
and four steamers were French.) lay with their
broadsides within range of the fortress. The
allies claim to have found 100 pieces of cannon
mounted and dismounted. Correspondence does
not state whether or not the fleet fired on the
fortress, but from the circumstance that the En
glish papers have a list of casualties incurred by
the ships Penelope,jHecla, Termagant and Belle
isle, while “under fire at Bomarsllnd > ~ it is
likely they did.
An account of the Bomarsund affair from
Stockholm, 20th, mentions that a bombardment
was kept up from five o’clock, morning of the
15th till two o’clock afternoon ot the 16th, and
that part of the works were blown up be
fore proposals were made to surrender. The
prisoners will be sent to France on board En
glish ships.
The French government has made contracts
at Dantzic for winter supplies for the French
fleet in the Baltic. Thiß indicates the expecta
tion ot a protracted campaign.
Black Sea. —lt may be remembered that re
cently a Russian steamer, supposed to be the
Wailadimir, was cruising at large in the Black
Sea, and causing great consternation among the
merchantmen. It is now said that the steamer
was on her way from the United States to Se
vastopol. The other day she called boldly at the
coaling station at Kosloo, coaled—destroyed two
Turkish brigs there, and made off safely for the
open sea.
As usual, from the allied fleet we have to re
port nothing.
The Danube, etc.—No change has occurred
in the situation ol affairs. Bucharest is quiet in
the occupation of the Turks.
Bou Mazi, who has obtained permission from
the French government to serve in the Turkish
army, arrived at Constantinople on the 4th.—
Abd-el-Kader expresses deep interest in the war;
but does not seem inclined to take part in it per
sonally.
Marshal Paskievvitch is at Warsaw, and is in
continued communication with the southern ar
my, and with St. Petersburg.
Mr. Stevens, a British Consul at Trebizondo,
has just set out on a mission to Circassia.
Elias Georgievitch, son of George XIII, the
last king of Georgia, died at Moscow, July 14th.
A few days since or.e of the Sultan’s wives
died at Scutari, and was buried in the mosque at
Yeni-Djami, the ministers and high officials be
ing present at the obsequies.
There is nothing late or reliable from the ar
mies at Kars.
Reported Entry of the Austrians into Wallachia.
—Despatches (ot doubtful authenticity) an
nounced by last mail that the Austrians had ac
tually begun to occupy Wallachia, but later re
ports from Vienna, August 17th, say—“ It is ex
pected that the occupation of the Danubian
Principalities will take place very soon.” Ed
ward Bach, elder brother of the Minister, will go
as Civil Commissioner to the Principalities.
The Paris Moniteur, under data of Vienna, 18th
—one day later than the above—says: “The
first Austrian corps destined to enter Wallachia
has received by telegraph its orders to march.
It is thought the frontier will have been crossed
this very day through the Red Tower Pass, by
the two brigades that set out from Hermanstadt.
This movement has been combined between
Gen. Hess and Omer Pacha, in conformity with
the Austro-Turkish treaty.”
Prussia. —Considerable excitement existed at
Berlin, from the circumstance that boats from
the allied fleet had been discovered taking the
soundings of the Prussian port of Memel.
Russia. —A remarkable circumstance, illus
trative of the course of trade, is developed in
the official returns of the exportation of tallow
from Russia this season. From the document
it appears the exports overland Irom St. Peters
burg and the interior to Memel and other ship
ping ports, have been nearly equal to those of
the same period of 1853, the figures being 26,000
last year. As far therelore, as this branch of
business is concerned Russia had not only sus
tained no loss from the blockade, but has made
all the extra price that has been paid to her peo
ple for transport, and which has sent up prices in
the British and other markets.
Turret. —A ‘‘telegraph wagon” is in use in
the army in Turkey. It is formed of a large
coil ot gutta percha covered copper wire attach
ed to a self-acting plow, which hurries the wire
a few inches below the surface of the ground.—
On changing quarters, the wire is dug up arid
again used.
Hale, the “Kossuth rocket” man, is not dead
at Constantinople as was reported.
A letter .says “ the Grand Vizier, at the in
stance of the British Ambassador, is organizing
a plan to enfranchise all ‘Rayahs,’ and place
them on a complete equality with the Mahome
dan population.”
Great Britain. —The London Times copies
from the New York Herald an article respecting
I)r. Cottman’s mission to Washington, and
makes it the subject ot an editorial, which can
only be described as abominably scurrilous. The
Daily News has another, in the same
vein, and the provincial press, taking the cue, as
usual, from these two papers, indulges in more
than ordinary abuse of America and American
institutions. The commercial advantages ac
cruing and likely to accrue to America from the
war are particularly sore subjects to the British
just at present.
An unfortnnate accident occurred on the Ro.se
neath Moors, Scotland. While a party of gentle
men were enjoying the sport of shooting,a fowl
ing piece in the hands of Mr. W rn. Morrison
(quere Mure ?) of New Orleans, accidentally
discharge! and killed William Cochran, provis
ion merchant, of Glasgow.
London Matters -—The firm of Morourgo
& Co., w’hich failed in London, was chiefly in
the Italian trade. Grain speculation believed to
be the cause. They also received consignments
of cotton. The house in London was of recent
date, but the liabilities believed large.
Prince Albert's Visit to France. —On
August 19th, the Mayor oi Liverpool announced
that St. George's Halt would not be opened by
Queen t Victoria. That the unsettled state ol
public affairs, the projected visit, about the 16th
of Sept, of Prince Albert to the camp ot the
French troops at St. Omer, where he is to meet
the Emperor of France and the King of the
Belgians, and the uncertainty as to the Queen
being able to visit Scotland this year, were the
principal reasons which had induced Her Majes
ty to postpone he second visit to Liverpool.
Smith O’Brien in Belgium —This gentle
man, a Limerick paper states, has arrived in
Belgium, from New South Wales.
Ireland. —Reports concerning the potato rot
in the district around Dublin state that the blight
continues to show itself rather generally, but
the hope still prevails that on a return of dry
w’eather its further ravages would be materially
checked. In the South, especially in Tipperary,
the statements are rather gloomy, but from the
northern districts the accounts are more satisiac
ry—from Monaghan very bad.
Spain. — Madrd is not altogether tranquil.
The work of disarming all citizens except the
National Guard, continues. It is calculated that
the deficit bequeathed by the Sartorius Ministry
to the treasury amounts to seven hundred mil
lions ol reals. M. Collado, the newly appointed
Minister of Finance, has resigned.
Espartero in taking leave ol the deputation of
citizens which asked him to suppress the article
which declared that the dynastic question cannot
be discussed by the new assembly; recommended
them to address their petition to the Council of
Ministers. The delegates withdrew’ in great ex
citement. Notwithstanding these dangerous
symptoms, the government is thought to be
strong enough to carryout its policy.
The Patriarch of the Indies is ordered to ab

Very Latest.
The War and the Cholera.— The Paris
Moniteur ot Tuesday, contains despatches from
Bomersund. They add nothing new to previous
accounts; but allusion is made to the extraordi
nary results of the fire from the batteries.
Orders are given not to interefere with the
trade between the inhabitants ot the Norwegian
Finmark and those of the coasts of the White
Sea, they being a poor and inoffensive popula
tion.
The Times has a leading article on the cholera
in the East. It says that by the last accounts
from Varna, cooler weather was not expected
for several weeks; and as it appeared to be
thought the worst evil of the two to set sail, even
if the expedition was otherwise ready, whilst
the cholera was still raging, there was every
prospect of the mortality continuing at a nearly
equal rate. Ten or fifteen thousand are proba
bly not too high an estimate for the dead and
disabled up to the moment of embarkation. The
Times dwells on the subject of the melancholy
and inglorious loss of life, and the extreme dis
couragement in the camps. It inquires what are
we gaining by delay, which is more deadly than
battles ? The result is worse than if we had lost
10,000 mer. in capturing Sevastopol a month
ago when our ar angements were incomplete,
whilst the unfortuuate dead have been deprived
of the glory of the inscription, “Sevastopol”
upon their tombs.
Cotton in Algeria.
Wilmington, Aug. 29, 1854.
Messrs. Editors:—l question whether the
news of the late Sale of cottons at Havre that
were the production of Algeria, have, reached
you, and whether your numerous readers, the
planters of Cotton, especially, who are the most
interested in these news, have any knowledge
of them. As it may be interesting to them, I
shall here give you a very brief account of this
new branch of French industry; which standa in
competition with the American grower of Cot
ton.
The capabilities of Algeria for the growing of
Cotton are very great in point of soil and climate.
The Bedouin Arab population is an excellent
laboring race—sober, temperate, and very moder
ate in all its wants. Add to all these facilities
and advantages possessed by the Algerian growers
that Napoleon 111 has offered a premium of
20,000 francs, for five »«ccessive years, to be
awarded to the planter who shall produce the
largest crop and the best staple. The result of
these efforts and encouragements by the French
Government, has, at last, produced superior quali
ties of Cottons, both of short and long staple,
which were offered for sale at auction, at Havre,
on the 24th of July last, to manufacturers, not
only ol France, but of England, and Germany,
and Switzerland. The highest praise was be
stowed on the produce, and it was sold of higher
prices than the American Cottons.
There may have been a little national pride
mixed up in some portions of these transactions,
as to that which was brought by the French
manufacturers, whose object is to make articles
with it to be exhibited at the World’s Fair in
Paris next year; but the praises ot the English
cannot be suspicious on this subject.
'1 his Colony of France will prove a formida
ble competitor to the American planter. It is
well that this news, such as it may be interpret
ed, should be known, and that if not a fail in
American prices may occur in a few years, at
least the demand must be greatly diminished, in
France, especially, lor the Sea Island Cotton;
since Algeria is said to produce even a better
quality.
These facts thus communicated, not to
frighten planters; but to warm them, in due time,
not to put all their eggs in oue basket.
Your friend. J. Togno.
The Crops in Mississippi.
One of the most intelligent planters in Missis
sippi writes to a leading commercial house, in
New Orleans, as follows:
Princeton, Miss., Aug. 14.
Gentlemen —l have, in the last week, visited
many plantations, in order to send you my opin
ion of the cotton crop. In this cotton-growing
region, I think, with a favorable season for sav
ing cotton, the crop may amount to as much as
did that of last year—not more. On a large por
tion of our lands, the cotton stalk is not near so
large as it ought to be. This is owing to exces
sive rains in May, and the early part of June,—
From the 10th of June, until now, we have had
scarcely any rain. The experienced planter will
hence perceive why the stock is so small. I
could show, on some of the richest lands in Mis
sissippi, cotton not higher than my knee. We
were first ‘drowned’ out, then ‘scalded’ and
* burned’ out. We have commenced picking—
(l speak for the neighborhood)—and are thus
two weeks in advance of the last season.
I wish you could palsy the arms of the Rus
sians and Turks, and give us an opportunity to
get something for what we make.
Our Corn crop is tolerably good, and we have
what is better than all in this terribly hot weath
er—uninterrupted good health.
P. S. — While speaking of cotton, I forgot to
state, that the “ red rust” has done, and is still
doing us, great inju-y.
The New York Post says: “A recent tele
graphic despatch, dated Baltimore, announcing
that Mr. Young, the United States Consul atCu”
racao had laid prooi betore the Treasury Depart
ment that subordinates at the New York Cus
tom House had been bribed to pass false invoices,
many invoices having been found to be twenty
per cent below their true value, has been going
the rounds of the newspapers. We are authoris
ed to state that no charges or proof as therein al
luded to, have been made to the department, nor
was there any foundation for a publication re
flecting discreditably on those engaged in collect
ing the revenue.
“The newspapers which published the report
should, as an actol justice, give currency to the
contradiction.”
Fashions.
A peculiar characteristic of the various fash
ionable toilettes of the day is an excessive neat
ness in style.
As favorite materials for evening robes, we
■may unhesitatingly quote organdi and tarlatane.
They are made with double and triple skirt,
with figured borders either in white or some rich
but subdued color, and produce a charming effect.
On some, the upper skirt, which falls from the
waist over the others, is composed ol four flap
pels, the sides and bottom trimmed with the
same design as on the lower skirts.
Barege forms a very pretty material for the
evening dresses, when made with flounces a
dispositions; on the latter are printed in bright
colors pines, rosebuds, wreaths, and various other
designs, or a simple pattern in relief of black
velvet, or to match, forms and effective dress. A
dark brtwn ground, with the flounces trimmed
with arabesque designs in black velvet, wa- very
becoming. The corsage a draperie, crossed at
front, and the ends of the.folds terminating by
two long ends at each side, like those ol a scarf
they reached to the first flounce, and were also
trimmed with arabesques of black velvet, im
parting a very graceful and novel character to
this elegant toilette. The sieves were form
ed of three frills, placed one over the other,
and from them a deep bouilonee of tulle a
point d’esprit reached so low as the elbow,
where it was confined, and from thence hung
down like a laige pagode bouiilonees. This
make of sleeve is very becoming to the arm,
which is displayed to advantage under this pro
fusion of tulle. Inside the body, which was very
low on the shoulders and at front, was a guimpe
in tulle point d’esprit bouillonee, each buillonee
separated by a lace insertion. Round the top of
the corsage was a ruche of tulle. A how of
pink taffetas ribbon, placed in the centre of the
front of the hotly, arid fastened by a large ame
thyst, completed and form a pretty finish to this
costume.
Oneol the most remarkable innovations of the
day is the evident attempt to bring about the
adopters—not perhaps immediately, nor by a
coup d’etat, but by gradually accustoming the
eye to the increasing rotundity, and to its par
ticular locality. Even to assume the dimensions
of the present fashion in this respect, ladies
are compelled to have recourse to carino
line ; some even go so far as to wear petticoats
with stripes of whalebone inserted in them.—
We would, however, suggest that bands of plait
be used instead, which are to he procured at all
the respectable shops. To humor this freak of
fashion, almost all the dresses made of light ma
terials are lined with a very stiff taffetas, manu
factured expressly for this purpose. —Liverpool

J- L, DAWSON, M. D., C. R.
Aid for Savannah.
It will be seen from a notice under oia special
notice head that a collection will be taken up at
the Catholic Church on Sunday next, for the re
lief of the sufferers by the epidemic in our sister
city of Savannah.
From what we can learn their is much dis
tress among the poor ot Savannh, and we would
respectfully suggest to the Mayor to convene our
citizens in public meeting, tor the purpose of
raising the necessary means to alleviate the
wants of the destitute.
Our citizens are, in the enjoyment of excellent
health, and are noted tor their liberality when it
is required. All that is necessary is to appoint
committees for the different words to receive
subscription, and that materia' aid,so muchjieed
ed will soon be forthcoming.
Appeal to the Citizens of Savannah
Abroad.
We mentioned sometime since, (says the Sa
vannah Republican,) that the efforts to raise
money by private subscription for the indigent
sick had been crow T ned with the most gratifying
success. Few of our men of wealth are in town,
however, and though the subscsiptions were as
liberal as could be expected under the circum
stances, the amount raised is not sufficient to car
ry us through the many long and melancholy
days which we fear are still before us.
We would send out an appeal, then, in behalf
of the poor and the dying, to those of our citizens
who are abroad; and that it may the more cer
tainly reach them, we beg that our exchanges
both in Georgia and the North will copy this no
tice into their columns, and.echoour cry through
out the length and breadth of the land. This
appeal, we know, will not be made in vain.—
Our people who are far away among the moun
tains and on the sea shore, inhaling the health
giving air ol the hills and the ocean, and upon
whom thus far none of the responsibility of tak
ing care of the sick has fallen, will readily avail
themselves of the opportunity now presented, of
illustrating their liberality and performing their
duty. It will not be expected ot those of us
who have stood our ground—who are exposed
to all the hazards of the pestilence, and upon
whom devolves the responsibility of protecting
the property of the absent—that we shall bear
all the heavy burthen of providing for the sick
and the dying. It is with confidence, £hen, that
we invoke the aid of our absent friends. Their
contributions can be forwarded to the Mayor or
to ourselves, with the assurance that they will
be placed in the hands of the clergy and other
benevolent persons who are devoting their time
to the sick.
Come to the rescue, then, friends ! Your beau
tiful city is stricken to the heart, and now strug
gles in the arms of Death. Remember—
l' The quality of charity is not stain’d ;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath :it is t wice bless'd ;
It. blesselh him that gives, and him that takes .
’Pis mightest in the mightest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.”
Mortaljtt for the Week.—We give below
(says the Savannah Republican) the interments
for the week ending at 9 o’clock last night, to
gether with those for each day of the week, dis
tinguishing between those who died o< Yellow
Fever and those who died from all other diseases.
The mortality has been frightful,—too painlul
indeed, to admit of comment:

Anothf.r Streak. —We learn from the last
number of the Abingdom Democrat “that inex
haustahie beds of copper have been found in
Johnson coupty, Tennessee, on the lands of M-
H. Buchanan, of Abingdon ; and that copper, sil
ver and lead have been discovered on the lauds
of Judge Hopkins, on White Top, and on those of
Wm. King in the same neighborhood.” The
Democrat says the hands on the Salt-works
Branch Railroad in Washington, Va.,are throw
ing out plaster as though it was dirt on the lands
of Wyndham Robertson, Esq. Plaster has also
been discovered on the lands of J. G. Newby, at
Cumberland Gap. Glad to hear that our bache
lor friend William has found the indications, and
that all he has to do now is to push ahead.
Look out for Your Boys and Girls. —The
Washington Sentinel, speaking of the recent ar
rest, in Washington, of several lads charged with
the crime of incendiarism, says : “The history
of these boys shows the danger of permitting
youth to assemble indiscriminately, at all hours
of the night, iar away from parental oversight
and control. Whatever of mischief is lacking
in the younger, the older will not fail to supply ;
for in every condition of life, morals are either
improved or injured by individual association.—
How often do we meet hands of manikins in the
streets, cursing and swearing behind a home
made cigar, and who whenever an opportunity
occurs, perpetrate outrages either on persons or
property.
The Presidents of the American, the Frank
lin, and the Massachusetts Fire Insurance Com
panies, Boston have published a Card exposing
a gross attempt to swindle the people of the
West by parties who pretend to be accredited
agents of these institutions, and to issue politics
iof insurance on their responsibility. The com
panies disavow these agencies, and pronounce
the circulars they have issued a forgery and a
fraud.
The final result of the election in Missouri is
now known. On joint ballot in the Legislature
the Whigs will have 62, the Democrats 61, and
the Benton party 39. The Whigs have a plu
riality over the Democrats in the House and the
Democrats have a pluriality over the Whigs in
the Senate, consequently the Senatorial election
cannot take place at all without the consent of
both these parties.
Sale of Grisi and Mario Tickets.— The
auction sale of tickets for Grisi and Mario’s first
appearance in New York, took place Friday last.
Ihe first choice was knocked down to a person
who gave his or her name as Coutts, at $250
premium. Some 3000 tickets were sold at pre
miums ranging from S2O down to 25 cents. The
whole amount ol sales, including the first cost of
seats, is stated at near $20,000.
Cart. Tatnall— The United States razee j

She will probably sail about the middle of Sep
tember. On her arrival at her station in the Pa
cific, the St. Lawrence, which has been absent
nearly three years, will return home.
The Campbells.
Mat Peel opened last evening at Concert Hall
to a lull house. There has been several additions
made to the Company since theirjast visit to this
city, and take them as a whole tl ey are hard to
beat.
The Instrumental and vocal music s good, and
the jokes put forth by Mat Peel, and Mike Mitel -
ell, will put any one in a good humor. If you
wish to spend a pleasant evening, go to Conceit
Hall to night.
Weather and Crops. —The Atlanta Exami
ner, of the 2d, says: We have just return.h] from
a short visit to the counties of Monroe and Mer
riwether. While absent we made many en
quiries concerning the crops and their probable
yield. From our observation, backed by com
petent opinions, we are impressed with the be
lief that there will be plenty of corn made to
meet the necessities of the people— -consequently
there need be no fear of perishing in that section
for the next year; yet, the crop is not so bounti
ful but our farmers will be forced to practite a
very wise economy in reference to the use ol
breadstuff's.
We are happy to learn from a friend, residing
in the county of Gwinnett, that there has been
sufficient rain in the counties of Gwinnett, Hall,
Walton and Habersham, to save the crops in
those counties.
The South and her People.— -John Mitchell,
the Irish patriot, takes the following just and
liberal views of our section;—“ln the chival
jous South the individual in vindication of his
honor, of which the law of the land takes no
cognizance, practices a code that violates alike
the statute and the common law. The conse
quences for the most part, rest with the individ
ual. But you will rarely see mobs assembling
to burn churches or to violate the constitution,
south of Mason and Dixon’s line. There the
majesty of the law' is respected and upheld by
the aggregate people. There no Angel Gabrie
sounds his horn, disturbing the quiet Sabbath and
calling to together bands of rowdies, There, no
Salem witchcraft nor Blue Law's, nor bloomer
ism, nor Woman’s Rights, nor Mormonism, nor
Millerism, nor Anti-Popery, nor Spirit Rapping,
nor Socialism, nor other monstrous productions’
have sprung up to choke the healthy growth of
freedom. The poisonous weeds and fungi be
long to the North, and are cultivated to the high
est perfection by the wise men of the East.”
An Old Proverb Falsified. —On the 10th
inst. Mr. Benjamin Bird, a bachelor, aged about
70 years, was married at the Roman Catholic
Church, on Fifth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, to
Miss Julia Chaff, a buxom widom of 30. So
the old Bird was caught at last by Chaff.
Important to Dyers. —The Paris Moniteur
ludustriel publishes an account of a rncde of dye
ing blue w ithout indigo, invented by M. Rydin,
of Bocas, in Swecden. He obtains a good blue,
which washes well, by employing as mordant
the oxyde of chroma dissolved in an acid. In
place of oxyde of chroma, a double salt may be
used, or double sulphrate or chroma and potash.
The salt is obtained by putting together one part
of bichromate of potash dissolved in water, and
one and a half or two parts of sulphuric acid.—
Wine, brandy, sugar, and syrup are added, and,
lastly, the matter capable of bringing the chrom
ic acid to the state of oxyde of chroma. To dye
15 kilogs. of cotton, for instance, as much oxyde
salt of chroma is taken as has been obtained by
the reduction of live grammes of bichromate of
potash, and it is placed in a decoction of 15 kilo
grammes of Campeachy wood. The dying may
be effected in one operation by putting together
the salt of chroma, the wood and the cotton, and
heating the whole; or the cotton may be made to
take the mordent in salt of chroma, hot oi cold,
and then placed in a bath of Campeachy wood
until the required color is obtained. By varying
the proportions of these drugs and diminishing
them, the shades of grey, tilac, and agate rnay
be obtained.

Copper Found. —Since the commencement
of the mining excitement in this region of coun
try, we have endeavored carefully to abstain
from giving currency to any information which
we did not consider entirely reliable, and it is
| our purpose still to do so. Some ridicule and
j much discouragement has been thrown upon the
: efforts of those interested in developing the rrsin
-1 eral resources of the country; but it affords us
1 pleasure to inform all such that there is a fair
! prospect for well directed efforts to be crowned
with success. Di. John Moore, of Talladega,
has recently passed through this place, having in
i his possession specimens of copper ore, obtained
! by him on Talladega creek, where he was dig
ging a foundation for some kind of machinery.
Mr. Wood, of Randolph, who has been experi
menting for some time, has also found ore, not
far from Arbacoochee, pronounced by Professor
Tourney, State Geologist, to be copper. Profes
sor Tourney was in this place on Saturday last
and gave this information to some of our citizens.

Progress of the Fever —The repertof the
City Register shows a great increase of mortali
ty during the 24 hours ending last evening. We
do not suppose that the average increase is to be
estimated by this comparative advance on pre
ceding reports, but the disease is now generally
diffused, and the whole unacclimated population
may be considered within its influence. Nor
can we expect any sensible change, except from
the diminution ot subjects, and the gradual as
cendency of the influences of cool weather.
in the meantime, what can be done by the
untiring labors of our physicians, and ttie hu
manity of our people to relieve the suffering and
danger of the sick, we are sure will be faithfully
performed.
In this connection, we suggest that all unne
cessary parade at funerals, and especially the
calling out of military companies, should be dis
pensed with We recognise the generous mo
tive that prompts these last testimonials of re
spect to the dead, but in such a time it is still
more the living and the suffering, than those who
have passed beyond the reach of our aid, that de
mand our consideration; and the funeral march
that aecompanies the human dust to its final res
ting place, may from sympathy become the pro
phetic messenger of death to the weak sufferer
on his bed of pain.— -CAar. ilfsr, Ith inst.

Jigaintt Mexico lining out in New York. —The

named, including the screw steamer Benjamin
Franklin. She has on board ten thirty-two

The Mexican war steamer Santa Anna, now
refitting here, will leave soon, and it is rumored ~
the Franklin will sail several days sooner, and
attack and take her at sea if possible. The offi.

Capt. Breck Acquitted. —We are gratified
to learn that Capt. Joseph B. Breck, of the ship
Harkaway, has been promptly acquitted.
He was tried at the South Lancanshire Assizes
at Liverpool, in the Crown Court, before Baron
Platt, on the 22d ult., indicted with having, on
the 10th of July, unlawfully shot Lorenzo Cor
son with intent to do him grevious bodily harm.
Mr. Simon with whom was Mr. Rushton, ap
peared for the prosecution ; the prisoner was de
fended by Sergeant Wilkins, with whom was
Mr. Aspinwall.
Itjjappeared in evidence that the Harkaway was
about leaving the Canning dock and getting into
the basin, w hen the steward of the vessel, who
was drunk, attempted to thrust himself on board.
Upon this, the mate took a belaying pin and at
tacks! several of the men indiscriminately.—
th>, the sailors left the captain and at
tacked tfi»* mate, whom they drew down upon
the deck and jumped upon him, when the cap
tain iu&tied up armed with a pi tol, which he
fired, and then one of the passengers handed
him another revolver, which he likewise fired,
and the contents ledged in the head of the pros
cutor.
The above facts having been deposed to by
several witnesses, it appeared lrom the questions
put by the learned Sergeant, that the act was
purely one taken to defend his officer, and the
jury being of the same opinion, acquitted the
prisoner, his Lordship observing it was an act oj
great oppression ta have brought him dun eat all.
We arc informed that Capt. Breck arrived at
New York in the steam ship Pacific, on Sunday,
and will resume the command ot the Harkaway,
now a regular trader between this pmt and

He is a good stout fellow, and a hearty barker
and feeder. The man of whom 1 bought him
said he was a thorough bred ; but he Oegan to
have a mongrel look about him. He is a good
watchdog though, for the moment he sees any
suspicious looking person about the premises, he
comes right into the kitchen and gets behind
the stove. At first we kept him in the house,
and he scratched all night to get out. Then we
turned him out, and he scratched all night to get
in. Then we tied him up at the back of the
garden, and he howled so that our neighbor shot
at him twice before daylight. Finally, we gave
him away, and he came back; and now he is
just recovering from a fit, in which he has torn
up the patch that had been sown for our winter
radishes.
