Hood on Duelling.
Tom Hood describes an intended duel which
was prevented by an amicable arrangement
made upon the ground. The parties—Mr. Bra
dy and Mr. Clay—rivals for the affections of
Miss Lucy Bell, find it necessary to appeal to
arms:
Bat first they found a friend apiece,
This pleasant thought to give—
That when they both were deotly they’d have
Two seconds yet to live.
To measure out the ground, not long
The seconds next forebore ;
And having taken one rash step,
They took a dozen more.
They next prepar d each pistol pan,
Against the deadly strife;
By putting in th* prime of death,
Against the prime of life.
Now all was ready for tfco foes:
But when they took tbeir stands.
Tear made them tremble so, they found
1 hey both were shaking hands.
Said Mr. C. te Mr. 8.,
“ Here one of us must fall,
And, like St. Paul’s Cathedral now,
Be doomed to have a ball.
I do confess I did attach,
Misconduct to your name '.
If I withdraw ;So charge, will then
Your ramrod do the tame?”
Said Mr. 8., “-I do agree ;
But think «f Honor’s courts, —
If we be bff without a shot,
Theie will be strange reports.
Hi But lobk ! the morning now is bright,
Though cloudy it begun ;
Why ean’t we aim above, as if
We had called out the sun ?”
So up into the harmless air
Hr Their ballets they cid send ;
And may all other duels have
An upshot in the end.

•% Improved Application of Steam ,
Nrrw York, Aug. 25, 1854.
Iba\e delayed giving a description ol the Arc-
machinery, and the application of the mo
tivelpower employed, in anticipaticn ol a trial
trrpo> this splendid steamer ; but as it is now
certain that *r.e will not ieave ibis poit tor Bos
ton tor nearly a lortnigat, 1 will g.ve a briet ac-
in the present letter.
HpFor several raontts, a seiies of scientific ex
ig -jemnents have been made, by the liberality ol
Air. E. K Collins, with what is known as
Weltered’* Patent, the object being to increase
the power ol steam without any increased ex
ptWiitnre tor fuel. The patentees claim as new
“tfaCfipmbiuing steam and superheated or sur
charge djsteam lor actuating engines, wheu gen- I
eratei!,Jthe elasticity increased ana operated ns
set iqrLbJ' The patent intends not steam simp
ly surcharged with heat, but the use ol a mix
ture of*atr rated and surehaiged steam; ordmaiy
•team being saturated with water, or ol maxi
mum density lor the prcssuie, and surcharged
ft'-j common steam surcharged with
heat.lj&|ving less than the maximum density,
and ibfrelore not being saturated with watei.
A ceitam quantity ol saturated steam being
rwitlrciiawn tiom ihe boiler,and heated of coat- ct
with tue water to a very high temperature,
then mixed with a certain quantity ol satuiated
•team, ana this mixture u.-.ed to operate upon the
engine, a greater |»wei can be -erived from it,
with a certain quantity ql luel, than counl be
derived from the use ol saturated steam alone,
produced by the same quantity ol fuel.
Toe mode of obtaining the mixture is as fol
« lows : From the steam chimney ol the boiler, a
Ipmaioii Syeam jiipe/urmshed w ith the necessary
valves, convey.? t. y to the boiler the
•atDialed steam to the valve chest j another simi
lar pipe, valves, See., Irom the same steam chim
ney, butt starting within the smoke chimney, al
lows the passage ot saturated steam down the
•mokepnrnejr, through toe flues and through the
furnaces; passing immediately the burning luel,
and having become highly surcharged in its pas
sage, it is led out of the front of the boiicr to the
name valve chest, where it unites with the sa
turated steam. From the vaive chest the mix
ture passes to the cylinder of the engine, and
operates as a motive power upon the piston.
Numerous expirirnents have been made by B
F. Isherwood, Esq , Chief Engineer ot the Uni
.>• , v ted Stipes Navy, and Darnel. B. Marti a, Esq.,
Efigineer-in-Chiet of the United S'ates Navy.
The Engine upon which the experiments were
at hist tried, with a non-condensing one; the di
ameter of the cylinder was double or surrounded
with asteam jacket; the steam pipes were 2J
inchesttneide diameter and S leet long, rieariy
direct Irom the boiler to the cylinder. The holi
er had vertical tubes and was a working model
oi the boilers in the Collins line ol steamships.
With excellent apparatus and in the most care
ful manner, experiments were made w ith com
mon steam alone; with surcharged steam, and
'"""'■—'■tvith the mixture of common and surcharged
•team, in which the proportions were as tweniy
five to seventy-five. From the result it appear
ed that using the steam simply surcharged, pro
duced, with the same fuel, an increased effict of
t 65 per cent, above what was derived from the
Common steam alone; while an increased tiled
ot 106 per cent, was desired by the use of the
- mixture. Also the increased effect of the mixture
was 25 per cent, over what was obtained trom
the surcharged steam alone. 1 hese iusuts were
•übsequrntly verified by operating with the tow
boat to which 1 allude in a lormer letter. This
boat had one engine, with the cylinder 5| inch
es diameter and 6J feet stroke of piston. The
Steam was cut off in the supply pipe by a fly
valve, and camboard at i, the stroke ot tne pis
ton from the commencement. There was one
iron boiler with the lurnace and direct flues be
low, and single return ascending flues above.—
A steam chimney suirounded the smoke chim
ney, and the averege temperature of tne latter
was 600 degress Fahrenheit. The steam for the
mixture was surcharged by taking it irom the
•team chimney, leading it down the inside of
the smoke chimney, then through the upper flues
then returning through the upper flues, then re
turning tarough the Sower direct flues and through
the fur n a nee over the burning coal to the front oi
the boiler, trom which it was led to the supply
pipe, there united with common 6team, then
through by a pipe externally to the holier from
'thw sat** steacnj ftbirnney or conductor,
jap From • table of experiments in January last,
H caretuily prepe*«d by Mr. Martin, it appears
that the economical efficiency ot the mixture of
saturated and surcharged steam was about 72 7-
: JO per cent greater than that of common steam
•ioue. The experiments made with the mix
ture and with the saturated steam weie contin
ued the same number of houis and minutes;
the total number of double strokes of piston
made per minute was with saturated steam
•lone, 19 and 3-10, with the mixture 20 an l
1-10; the number of pounds of antnracite coal
consumed per hour, producing ta:mated steam
was 6 66 710, producing the mixture 440 8-IG,
|-g In subsequent experiments, it wa* lout d ihit in
a given time, the total number u j ounJs ot an
thracite coal consumed in one hour, producing
saturated or common •team was 453 3-ro,pro~
dueing the mixture 288 9-10. in tn e »e experi
ments, about the same number oi douuie strokes
oi engine piston was made. The obj-.ct oi this
trial was to make the same number of revolu
lions ot the wheels m equal times, so as to give
the boat the same speed ; the -ame distance ;G6<
miies was run with the mixture and with the
•team alone, so thatdbe difference tells in the
fuel only- Bui with tne mixture, in older to
keep the pressure sufficiently down to obtain
the same spetb as with the steam alone, ic was
necessary to curry their fires extremely low. so
that at times jxrrtior.a ot the grate bars would he
entire! 7 bare. No difficulty has ever been ex
ißwpeneuetd from the burning out oi the pipes con
veying the surcharged steam.
The result ol other experiments, exhibited the
~ dec nedly supeiiur heating power ot combined
steam over the saturated or ordinary tc-m. and
1 awcharg-d or super-heated steam.
Having therelore, carelullv eX'ie'imented and
observed the most satisfactory results, Mr. Coi
to introduce this kind ot motive
power into the “ Arctic” Lnd this design has
been accomplished successfully. I am not at
liberty, at the present writing, to give you the
dimensions ol the Arctic’s new machinery, but
suffice it lor the present, to say, that the plan ol
the work is similar to that above described, and
the trial trip she has already made has verified
the results of former experiments, and demonstra
ted the proposition that s eam may be so treated
as to greatly increase its power without any in
creased expenditure of fuel, and that with the
power there may be a great sa
ving in fuel: I am aware that yon will pro
nounce this description quite dry lor the general
reader, and so it is ; but."to explain intelligibly
the application of the motive power, facts and
figures ere required.
On the Vernon of Serpents.
There is much in thejhistcry 4 and habits of the
reptile tribes, however repulsive they may be in
appearance, that is very interesting. During a
sojourn of two or three months in the interiorof
Arkansas, which appears to me to be the para
dise of reptiles, ljpaid some attention to that
branch of natural history called ophiology. I
found four distinct varieties of rattlesnakes (cro
talus), of which the Crotalus Horridus and Cro
taius Kirtlandil are by far the most numerous,
r he former is the largest serpent in North Amer
ica. The family of moccasin snakes (Colhiber)
is also quite numerous ; there being no less than
ten varieties, most of which are quite as venom
ous as the rattlesnake. By dissecting great num
bers of different species, 1 learnd that the ana
tomical structure of the poisoning apparatus is
similar, in ail the different varigtes of the ven
omous serpents. It consists of a strong frame
work ot bone, with its appropiiate muscles, in
the upper part of the head, resembling and being
in fact a pair of jaws, but externally to the jaws
proper, and much stronger. To these is attached,
by a ginglymoid articulation, one or more mova
ble fangs, on each side, just at the verge of 4he
mouth, capable of being erected at pleasure.—
These fangs are very hard, sharp, and crooked,
like the claws of a.cat, and hooked backward,
with a hollow from the base to near the point.
1 have occasionally seen a thin slit of bone di
■ iyde this hollow, making two. Atrtueir base is
found a small sack, containing two or thee drops
ot venom, which resembles thin honey. The
sack is so connected with the cavity ot the fang,
during its erection, that a slight upward pres
sure lorees the venom into the fang, at its base,
and it makes its exit at a small slit or opening
near the point, with considerable force ; thus it
is carried to the bottom ol any w ound made by
the tang.
Unless the fangs are erected for battle, they
lie concealed in the upper part ot the mouth,
sunk between the external and internal jaw
hones, somewhat like a pen knife blade shut up
in its handle, wherathey are covered by a fold
of membrane, which encloses them like a sheath
—this is the vagina dentis. There can be no
doubt that these tangs are frequently broken off
or shed as the head grows broader, to make room
for new ones nearer the verge ol the mouth—for
within the virgina dentis of a very large crotalus
horridus, I found no less than five fangs on each
side—in all stages of formation—the smallest in
a halt pulpy or cartilaginous state, the next some
thing harder, the third still more perfect, and so
on to the mam, well set, perfect fang. Each of
these teeth had a welt defined cavity, like the
main one. Three tangs on each side, were fre
quently lound in copperheads,vipers, and others.
The process of robbing serpauts, of their ve
nom is easily accomplished by the aid of chloro
form, a lew drops ol which stupifies them. It,
while they are undents influence, they are care
fully seized by the neck, and the vagina dentis
held out of the way by an assistant, with a pair
ot forceps, and the fang be erected and gently
pressed upward, the venom will be seen issuing
Irom the laug. and dropping from its point.—lt
may then be absorbed by a bit of sponge, or
caught in a vial, or on the point of a lancet.—
Alter robbing several serpents in this manner,
they were found, alter two days, to be as highly
charged as ever, with venom of equal intensity
with that fir>t taken.
During 'he process of robbing several species of
serpents, I inoculated several small but vigorous
ai d perfectly healthy vegetables, W'lth'the point
ot a lancet well charged with venom. The next
day they were withered and deid, looking as
though they had been scathed with lightning.
In attempting to preserve a tew drops of venom
for tuture experiments,in a small vial, with two
or three parts of alcohol, it was lound, in a sricqt
i: r ne, to ha ve lost its venomous properties. But
after mixing the venom with <xju» ammonia, ot
spirits oi turpentine, or oil of peppermint, or 01,
cinnamon, or of cloves, or with nitric or sul
phuric acid, it still seemed to act with undimin
ished energy. It is best preserved, however, tor
future use, by trituration with refined sugar or
sugar of milk.
A very fine, cotton-mouth snake, being cap
tuied by putting a shoe string around him, became
exceedingly teiocious, striking at even the crack
of a small riding whip. Finding himself a pri
soner without hope of escape, he turned bis
deadly weapons on his own body, strikii.g ie
ptatedly his well charged tangs deeply into his
flesh. Notwithstanding this, he was put in a
small basket, and earned forward. In one hour
he was found dead, and no amount of irritation
could excite the least indication ol life. Four
hours alter, while removing the skin for preser
vation, the blood oozed slowly from the vessels
in a dissolved state. No violence was done to
his snakship, except what he did to himself.
Another moccasin, shot by a pistol about two in
ches back of the head, and skinned immediately
gave decided evidence of vitality four hours af
ter being flayed, by writhing the body whenever
it was irritated by a scalpel.
A large rattlesnake beheaded instantly with a
hoe, would, an hour and a halt alter, biteat any
thing that pinched its tail. Os several persons
who were testing their firmness of nerve by
tryinz to hold the hand steady while the serpent
struck at it, not one could be found whose hand
could not recoil, in spite of his resolution , and
one man (a great bully, by-the-by,) was struck
on the naked throat with considerable force by
the headless trunk of the serpent, and staggered
back, fainted and fell, from terror. Air. Stesv
a:t, of Mississippi, tells me he once witnessed a
similar scence. An old hunter shot a rattlesnake’s
head off, and after ie-]oading his gun, and stand
ing some time, he stooped to pull off the rattles
and the bloody but heedless trunk of the snake
struck him in the temple, and he fainted and fell
down with terror.
Seven venomnous serpents, belonging to five
different species, were made to fraternize and
dwell amicably in one den. A beautiful pair of
long bodied speckled snakes, known as king
snatces, found to be fangless, and consequently
without venom, were fully installed as members
cl the family. Some uneasiness was perceiva
ble among the older members, but no attempt
was made tq destroy the intruders, though they
might have been killed inst-inter. The next
morning, four of the venomous serpents were
lound to have been destroyed by the king
snakes; and one was still within her coil, and
two remaining ones would make no effort at
self-defence. A large rattlesnake seemed stupid
and indifferent to his late. He could not be
made to threaten or give warning even with his
rattles. The smallest king-snake was afterward
inoculated with the poison otone o the serpents
he had destroyed, and died immediately after—
thus evincing that they must have exercised
some power beside physical force to overcome
theii lellow creatures.
In short, the results of a great number of ex
periments, periormed with the veDom ot a great
variety of serpents, seem to lead the following
conclusions:
1. That the venom of all serpents acts as a
poison in a s.milar manner.
2. That the venom ol some varieties is fur
more active than that oi others.
3 That a variety ,of the Oolluber, known as
the cotton-mouth, is the most venomous serpent
in Arkansas.
4. That the venom of serpents destroys ail
forms ot organized it/*, vegetable as we.i as aui
mal.
•5. That alcohol, if brought in contact with
the venom, is to a certain extent, an antidote.
0. That serpents tio possess the |»ower of fas
cinating small auimais, and that-this power is
loeuticai with mesmerism.

Great Trotting Match. i
The great trotting match over the Union !
Course, Long Island, tor $3,000, took place on
Thursday last, and was witnessed by upwards
of five thousand persons from New York and
The following account of this im
postant affair to the sporting world is copied
from the New York Times :
The roads and avenues leading to the track
were thronged with evey'description ot vehicle,
from a light buggy to a six horse barouche, ail
ol which were crowded to excess, for the heat
was very oppressive, and, during the afternoon,
a southerly breeze came up, which rendered the
track quite unpleasannt, as the clouds of dust
swept through in every direction, and specta
cles were in active demand.
Below we give the announcement of the race,
as published by the proprietors of the Course:
Trotting on Thursday, Septemer 7, for a purse
and stake ol $3,000 —$500 to go to the second
best; mile heats, best three in five in harness—
-11. Woodruff names g. g. Eddy. H. Jones names
br. g. Mdc. W. Woodruff names r. g. Taconey.
J. F. Nodine names b. g. Highland Maid.
About four o’c ock, the three former horses
appeared and started for the exciting contest.
The odds, S6O, and occasionally SIOO to SSO.
Various bets were, as usual, in favor of Grey
Eddy against the field ; others were staked on
time, and we noticed several wagers made on
Taconey being second in the race.
The judges being elected and taking their
positions on the stand, the horses were caljed
up by Judge Conklin; meanwhile lots were
cast :or the choice of track': Mac won the in
side, Eddy next, and Taconey outside.
FIRST mwT.
The fiisfc time the horses made an attempt to
start for the heat the dust was flying in ail di
rections to such an extent that ttie drivers were
scarcely able to see their way. The judges did
not give the word in consequence of the hor-es
not being near enough together. Ou the sec
ond trial to start, Mac came up ahead ; but
owing to Eddy making a slight break in front
of the stand no word was given. The third
trial was successful, ( and the nags had a fine
stait, with Mac on the lead ; the driver of this
horse held him in fine sty le, and passed the
quarter pole in 38j seconds. While going to
the half mile pole Mac broke up, and Eddy
glided by him, making the ''bait” in 1 minute
and loi seconds. Taconey was now close to
Eddy, but Mac had iell behind some fifty yards.
As tde two leading horses turned the home
stretch, Wm. Woodruff urged Taconey to his
utmost, and many spectators expected he would
win the heat. Eddy, however, won by a couple
of lengths, and Mac was nearly distanced. The
time made was 2.33.
SECOND HEAT.
The first, second, and third attemps to start on
this heat were failures, as the judges would not
g ! ve the sigual. The word go! was given on
the fourth time, and the competitors were head
and bead. As they sped around the turn, Eddy
had the pole with the other two horses beside
him. He was crowded by Taconey at the
“quarter,” which was made in 38£ seconds.
The contest between Eddy and Taconey was
very close and presented a beautiful sight to the
lovers of turt sports. These hordes were closely
together at the ‘‘half,” end Eddy passed this pole
in 1.15, being ahead about one length. In the
meantime, Mac was lost sight of by the drivers
of the roan and grey geldings, a id the two steeds
sped their w'ay down ihe home stretch in fine
style. When Eddy and Taconey were at the
Judges’ stand, Mac was in the rear a long d s
tance, and in announcing the time of the second
mile, as made by E Idy, to be 2 31, the Judge
informed the large concourse of people that Mac
was distanced on this heat.
THIRD i) LAST HEAT.
The horses were allowed twenty minutes to
be rubbed down and relreshed, and when called
up by the judge, they glided away from the
stand, and Tacouy led Eddy to the quarter po ! e
in 38 seconds. As they left the stand, Eddy
made a bad break within 50 yards of the Judges.
He fell behind, and Tacony swiftly passed along
to the half a mile pole in 1:17. As the contest
ants left the u hail,” Hiram urged Eddy to his ut
most, and when turning the home stretch, he w'as
about 100 yards ahead Just before the speed of
Eddy was increased, bets were offered that Ta
cony would win the heat, but to the surprise of
the audience, Eddy got the lead and kept it to
the stand, making the mile in 2:34|

How an Indian Can Die. — A touching in
stance of this characteristic trait occurred"at the
late engagement be ween a small parly of the
Chippewa? and a greatly superior party of Si
oux, near Cedar Island Lake. The Chippewas,
who were euroute tor a scalping foray upon the
Sioux villages on the Minnesota, here fell i; to
an ambuscade, and the first notice of danger that
saluted their ears was a discharge of fire arms
from a thicket. Four of their number fell dead
in their tracks. Another, named the War Ciood
a leading brave, had a leg broken by a bullet.
His comrades were loth to leave him, and while
his assailants were re-loading their gun«, at
tempted to carry him along with them to where
they could get the shelter ot a thicket, a short
distance in the rear. But he commanded them
to leave him,. telling them that he would 6h w
his enemies how a Chippewa could die. At his
request, they seated him on a log, with his
back leaning against a tree. He then commenc
ed painting his face and singing ms death song.
As his enemies approached him he only sang a
louder and livelier strain, and when several had
gathered around him, flourishing their scalping
knives, and screeching fortn their demoniacal
yells of exultation, not a look or a gesture mani
fested that he was even aware of their presence.
At length they seized him and tore the sralp
from his head. Still seated with his back against
a large tree, they commenced shooting their ar
rows into the trunk around his head,gie .mg
his ears, neck, &c., until they literally pinned
him fast, without having once touched a vital
part. Yet our hero remained the same imper
turable stoic, continuing to chaunt his defiant
strain, -nd although due of the number flourish
ed his reeking sealp before his eyes, still not a
single expression of his countenance could be ob
served to change. At last one of the number
approached him with a tomahawk, which after
a few unheeded flourishes he buried in the cap
tive’s skull, who sank in death with the song
Still upon his lips. He had indeed succeeded
well in teaching his enemies “how a Chippewa
could die.” A few days afterwards they were
taught how a Chippewa could be avenged

A Gallant Combatant. —The Constantino

the following account of the last struggle of Lieut.

in which he lost hi« life with no less than 33
wounds U|>on it. Tbs Russians had taken bis

some long grass close to the corpse. The ring
finger of both hands was cut off. He was seen
by the sapper who went with him, fighting des

Ibis wise:—Hardly any two females kiss alike.
There i.- as much variety m tile manner of do

Some delicate little creatures merely give a sligut
brush of the lip. This is a sad aggravation. VVe

grv man into a beefsteak, and seem to chew up '
our countenances. This is disgusting, and soon j
drives away a delicate lover. Others struggle
like hens when burying themselves with dry dirt.
The kiss is won by great exertion, and is not
worth as much as the trouble it costs. Now, we
are in favor of a certain shyness when a kiss is
proposed, but it should not be continued too long;
and, when the tair one “ gives in, 1 ” let her ad
minister it with warmth and energy. Let there
be soul with it. If she close her eyes and sigh
deeply immediately after it, the effect is greater.
She should be careful not to “ slobber 7 ’ a kiss,
but give it as a humming bird runs his bill into
a honeysuckle, deep but delicately. There is
much virtue in a kiss when well delivered. We
have the memory of one we received in our
youth, which lasted us forty years; and we be
lieve it will be the last thing we shall think of

Health of Knoxville.
The Knoxville Regiter Extra of the 9th irist
says : We are truly glad to be able to announce
the abatement of Cholera in Knoxville, no new
case having occurred within the last forty-eight
hours. Yet we must not, from this apparent
removal of the disease lor a moment relax our
vigilance or watchfulness. We cannot hope for
the entire disappearance of the scourge, until a
change of weather, the heat still continues most
oppressive. Our nights and mornings are be
coming more coo! and comfortable, and care
should be especially taken not unnecessarily to
expose ourselves to the influence of either the
evening or morning dew.
We have only to exhort those who remain in
town, to a steadfast watchfulness over their diet }
and to advise them to remain as calm and cool
as possible.
lo those who have fled to the country, we
have only to say that we have heard but oae
opinion, expressed by our physicians in regard to
their return, and that is that they should remain
away until the health of the city is fully and
entirely restored, aad until after a copious rain.
Our affliction has been, doubtless, greatly in
creased by the panic excited among our popula
tion by a realization of the fact that the Cholera
had actually broken out iu our healthy location,
; and that we were not to be exempt iiom its vis
! Ration.
This idea seemed to seize upon the public mind
on Finlay the lit September on the death ol Lt.
Col. McClelland,U. S. A., and just atter the pub
lication ot our last paper, a general stampede
commenced, and more than three-fourths of our
population have rettjall business is of course sus
pended, stores and work-shops were closed and
an air ot protoundest gloom overspread the town.
Ihe ravages ot the disease continued until
some thirty or forty of our citizens have lalien
victims to the destroyer. The scourge has been
confined to no c*ass, condition, age, sex or posi
tion in society, . nd to no locality in town, but
thank Providence, the arm of the destroyer has
been stayed, and we humbly trust the disease
V V soon disa :peat entirely Horn oik midst.
During the tr ,mg tnat v ts have j ist
passed, there have been instances of. kindness
and attention to the sick and dying that deserve
to be recorded in ie*ftrs ot gold, and preserved
on table's ol biass, as enduring monuments which
honor humanity.
A bund of young men formed themselves into
an impromptu Howard Association and have
nev r ior one moment ceased their attentions
to the sick and dying, and the dead. Some of
-these young men had neither kith norkia with
in the city to demand t.eir stay, have yet reso
lutely faced the disease in every form and as
pect, and have been the good Samaratins of the
trying times.
I hese men will receive the thanks of our peo
ple as long as gratitude is esteemed a virtue, but
more than ail will they possess the consciousness
of having performed the whole duty of man to
hts fellow-man.

An Attempted Revolution Suppressed. — j
By the latest accounts from Venezuela received
in New York, it appears that a desparate en- j

troops, in which there was much loss of life, the j
parties coming hand to hand, and fighting with .

Ravages of the Pestilence. —The Savan
nah Republican of 11th inst., says : “ The pes
tilence is on the increase, both among the poorer
and the better class. Many persons in comfort
able circumstances, and natives of" the place, are
now sick. Several physicians are also down
with the fever; it is almost impossible to get
nurses, for they are not here to be had, the
ground throughout the city is covered with pros
trate trees and decaying leaves, the sad result of
the storm, and everything before us looks gloo
mier and sadder than ever.
Those physicians who were attacked, are do
ing well, and will soon be at their posts again.
Mayor Ward is-also recovering. Mr. Cuyler,
President of the Central Road has discharged his
physician, and may be expected out again in a
few days.
Scarcity of Potatoes. —The Newark (N.
J.) Advertiser states that dealers there are pur
chasing potatoes in the back country from the
farmers at 10 shillings per bushel, and allowing
them to remain in the cellars of the farmers,
bringing them here for retail as they are wanted.
i So high is the price ot potatoe3r—from $3 to £4 a
| bushel—and the prospect of a heavy crop is so
i poor, that (the Advertiser adds) the anticipated
i profits warrant such operations.
It is stated that the election of the Hon.
J. C. Dobbin, as U. S. Senator from North Car
olina, has been definitely arranged, and that Mr.
Mallory, of Florida, will succeed him as head of
the Navy Department.
Japan. —The “Journal of Commerce’ 7 is

Origin of Firos.
Mr. Editor :—Would it not be well for our
city authorities to institute a board ot men or
officers, whose duty it shall be to investigate the
origin of all fires which may occur in this city,
and that may have caused or jeoparded the des
truction of property. For myself, I think such
a board, if actuated by the proper spirit and in
dustry, would bring to light many a concealed
iucend’ary, and prevent many conflagrations.
Os course, I have no reference to any recent
fire, but predicate the idea upon general princi
ples alone.

Floyd’s Dave, 259 ; Taylor’s Allen, 2SS; and
Prince’s Bill, 299 pounds. Taking into consid
eration the injury to the 4 erop by drought, this is
hard to beat. —Central Georgian , 12/A itist.
The Drought. —The duration and intensity
of the heat, and the protracted absence of any
thing like adequate rains in most of the States
north of thi?, and especially in the great corn
growing West; has produced the most disastrous
results upon the fields of the disappointed hus
bandman. The indications for any thing like
an aversgecrop oi corn ir. upper Georgia, Ten
nessee, Kent cky, Virginia and Maryland, are
very unpromising. From all we can learn, Geor
gia and States south of this will, with proper
economy, tmka enough lor home consumption,
it will be well, now that a geneial rain has Id
ler! upon the earth, tosow largely of barley, rye
and turnips, to aid tbe crib in winter feeding.
Lucerne, well put in now, will afford some very
nourishing and pleasant food for cows and calves
next spring, and gives rich tie sre to the pro
ducts ol the dairy. We beg the husbandmen not
to forget the comfort and sustenance of his neat
cattle. All that cannot be well cared for in she
stall orshed, should be sent to market or put in
the barrel.— Southern Recorder , 12<A inst.
Rain at Last.— On Friday and ' aturday last,
the parched and heated earth was refreshed by

A Riot in Sandarsville.
A disgraceful affray occurred in our town on I
Tuesday las*:, in which one peaceable and quiet'
citizen was severely wounded, two other men j
got their heads broke, and the consequence of j
which is, that two individuals are bound over to ;
answer tor an assault with intent to kill, at the j
next term of the Superior Court.
We speak it in praise of the town authorities, !
and the citizens, that the riot was promptly sup- !
pressed, and two of the offenders, had leisure in j
jail for sober reflection.
We regret exceedingly this unfortunate affair, j
It is discreditable to our town, although none of
the offenders are citizens of this place, and three
are from an adjoining county.
Butwhoisto blame? Where lies the fault?
Four young men, peaceable, well behaved, who
have unfortunately acquired a taste for intoxi
cating drinks, visit our town on business. They
leave home with no thought of disgracing them
selves, or injuring any one; they come here,and
the pleasant intercourse of liveiy companionship
leads them to the State’s favorite pet institutions
for the entertainment of the citizens; they drink,
are drunken, demented, and then the. natural
consequence—riot, bloodshed, and attempted
murder follow. ✓
We were penning the above on Wediealay
afternoon, when we were startled by successive
pistol shots, and a friend informed us that two
young men had exchanged shots, with what re
sult he did not know. Hastily walking around
to the scene of strife, we arrived in time to see
j one young man, a citizen of an adjoining county,
ot respectable and most estimable iamily, knock
-1 ed down with a chair, and a knife driven to the
j handle in hU back ; aud another, (one of the
i parties just out of jail, for the riot the day before)
i lelled like an ox, by a blow from the same chair,
i and lying apparently lifeless upon the ground,
j while some halt a dozen individuals, drunk with
passion, with sticks, pistols and Knives, in wild
| est excitement, seemed ready for any emergen
cy, however desperate. Six pistol shots were
I fired,but providentially none took etfect: Though,
but tor the courageous, almost reckless daring of
our friend, Asgbei Beach, Esq., who rushed be
tween the two young men who had their pis
tols drawn, and at the risk of his own life,seized
one of them, one or the other must certainly have
i been killed.
Less of a French Ship. —Col. Thomas M.
Wagner, who arrived from Christ Church Parish
yesterday forenoon, informs us that he had learn
ed that lour French seamen drilted ashore on
pieces of wreck at the plantation ol Mr. Jos. S.
Gibbs, Bull’s island, on Friday last. They rep
resented that they belonged to a French ship,
which was lost on Bull’s Breakers during the
late gale. They state that the Captain died as
soon as the ship struck ; and it is fearedthat the
balance of the crew have perished. The body
of a man without clothing has been picked upon
the plantation of Mr. B. Whitesides, opposite
Bull’s Island, and it is supposed that he belong
ed to the crew ot the above ship. On Thursday,
during the gale, a ship was seen off Bull's Island,
partly dismasted, endeavoring to get off shore,
which was no doubt the lost vessel. A large
schooner was seen ashore on Saturday last be
tween Bull’s Island and the main land. As the
portion of the crew mentioned as having been
saved have not reached the city, we cannot give
the name of Iheshipor any lurther particulars.—

The brig Mary Am, bon nd from Charleston

More of the Gale.
Bennett's iVl’lls, on Cooper River, and Lucas’s
Mills, on Ashley River, met with considerable
loss, the latter, besides itself being injured, bad
a large quantity ot clean Rice, which was lying
there, a waiting the orders of parties, also destroy
ed.
From Cooper River, we have also disastrous
intelligence. On Col. Ferguson’s Plantations.
“ Docken, n and “The Farm,” the line banks
were broken, and a number of cracks in the
river bank. Thirty acres of cut Rice are afloat,
but a portion ot the crop was fortunately housed.
On Dr. Deas’s plantation “Harry Hill,” there
is a break ot thirty feet in the banks, and seven
ty acres of fine Rice completely overflowed.
Dr. Barker, at “ South Mulberry Hail,” escap
ed with but little injury, his Rice being housed
as it was cut. Mr. Miiliken was also equally
fortunate from the same cause.
At Mr. Robt. Lucas’s “ Wappahoola,” there is
a break of thirty feet in the bank, am! Rice com
pletely overflowed.
At “ Point Comfort,” estate of Keating Lau
rens, there is a break of 150 feet in the bank,
and 50 acres of cut Rice completely swept out.
Col. Gadsden’s “ Pimlico” escaped with but
slight damage, the Rice being housed as it was
cut.
From Pon Pon we have the - following parti
culars in a letter, which we have been kindly
to publish:
Pon Pon, Sept. 10, 1854.
“The Rice that was cut down, is all floated to
ttjp banks and in the ditches. That which was
not cut, was whipped by the wind, for so long a
time before it was wet/ that a third of the Rice
is beaten off. My father’s loss will be about
one-half.
The place stinks, not in imagination, but from
dead fish and frogs.”

ti.at, Ihe Corn, over half ot it is on the ground,

An Insult to Southern Merchants— The
New York Tribune thus pointedly : r ; «uits South

“Southern merchants do indeed keep awp.y
from New York, for the reason that they cant’s

same time, 7.319 bales. Stock in presses, and cn
shipboard not cleared on theßth inst, 20,816 b ,les.
Increased arrivals of the new crop, and the un
favorable character of the European accounts re
ceived within the week, have given thofew buyers
now in market some advantage in prices from day
to day, though they may be said to have operated
to a fair extent, considering the period of the sea
son. the sales ot the entire week summing up about
6,000 bales, the greater part of which has Icon
taken for France and the Noith, with some parcels
for England. The demand is principally lor new
crop, which presents a higner avert ge of quality
than the receipts of the same period last year, and
our figures re particularly apply to the new crop,
as the old k 6w comparatively neglect 1, and will
rot command present quotations. The market
closed very quiet yesterday, no sales of conse
quence haviug taken place, the inactivity being
partly attributable to the unfavorable ebarac er of
the Africa’s advices, which were before the public
ni the morning, and partly to the meagre supply
of new crop actually on salo. the rather liberal
receipts of the past two days having been sampled
to but a limited extent.
she receipts of new crop since 31st ultimo are
6,715 bales; making a t ta! to data of 8 106 bales,
