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. I From the Boston Chronicle.] •% 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. 7. t hat the blood of small animals,, destroyed oy the venom of serpents bears a close resem blance to that ol animals destroyed by iightmug or byuiocyauic aci..; it loses its power ol coagu lation, and caunot be long kept from putierac tion - J.

As iar as heard from, the storm’or Friday extended Uorr« Columbus, Ga.,to Petersburg, V* 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.

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.

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 St. Paul, (Min.) Democrat. A Gallant Combatant. —The Constantino ple correspondent of the London Times gives the following account of the last struggle of Lieut. Burke, who tell at Giurgevo : Air. Burke’s body was"found after the action in which he lost hi« life with no less than 33 wounds U|>on it. Tbs Russians had taken bis sw’ord belt, but his sword was found hidden in 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 perately to the last, though surrounded by a horde of Russians. When he first leapt on shore from the boat six soldiers charged. Two he shot with his revolver, one he cut down with his sword—the rest turned and 11 d.— While he was ffncouiaging she Turks, who were in the stieam, to row quietly to the lan j. and for ming them in line as they landed,conspicuous as he was in full uniform and by his white cip cov er, a number ol riflemen advanced from Lehrnd a ditch, and took deliberate aim at him Poor Burke charged them with headlot g talan try. As he got near he was struck by a ball, which b eke his jaw-bone, but he ruibed or, shot three men dead at close quarters with bis revolver, and cleft two men through helmet and all into the brain. He was surrounded, and while «n cutting his wav with heroic courage through tin. ranks ot the enemy, a sabre cu. from behind,given by a diagoon rs he went by nearly severed his head from his body, and he fell dead, u.wered with bayonet wor-nds, sable gashes, and marked with lance thrus as? .bul let bole-.

There i.- as much variety m tile manner of do ing it as in the faces and manners of the sex. Some delicate little creatures merely give a sligut brush of the lip. This is a sad aggravation.

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.

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 !

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.

An Attempted Revolution Suppressed. — j By the latest accounts from Venezuela received in New York, it appears that a desparate en- j gagement has taken { ’.ace betwee.i the revolu- I tionistsin Barquiiimito and a body ofgoverment troops, in which there was much loss of life, the j parties coming hand to hand, and fighting with . great resolution. The result was the complete ' triumph of the government troops, and the,totai i suppression of the insurrection.

We have not ascertained the loss but suppose it Jwas large, and no insurance- 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 showing the vast advantages American com merce is destined to derive from intercourse with the Japanese.

(commonicatkd ) 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. The best interests of communities are not <l - prudently or properly guarded by indiffer ence or over confidence. A Citizen. Health of Charleston.

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.

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.— Char.

Hifacon Telegraph. 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.” i . Another letter from the same region states ti.at, Ihe Corn, over half ot it is on the ground, and will sprout if not soon gathered.

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, against 1,251 bales to same time last y ar.
