Shadows on the Wall.
When busy day had sunk to sleep,
And glooms had veiled the sky,
And we a thoughtful vigil keep "
While sileLt hours fleet by ;
The taper’s glance then may we mark,
On dim seen objects fall,
Portraying fitfully and dark
Their shadows on the wall.
Thus to our soul in rausings come
The phantoms of the past;
Fair scenes of youth, a distant home,
* Hopes, joys, too sweet to last ;
Real no more—no longer bright,
Obeying mem’ry call—
They come, but show in mem'ry’s light,
As shadows on the wall.
And they, the parted and the dead,
Unu terably dear;
Around them still love’s light is shed,
Shining on sorrow’s tear,
But changed is every hue—alas,
How dim and silent at!;
Across the pensive mind t hey pass
Like shadows on the wall.
The radiant son of glowing days,
The moonlight’s tender beam,
The social hearth’s domestic blaze,
The watchful taper's gleam;
Love s torch, and mem’ry’s lamp, where'er
In cot or stately hall,
They shine, so they image there
A shadow on the wall.
Lights of this world! since thus ye be
Associate with shade.
O so» yon realm, wherein to see
A better light display ’d !
There is no coud, nor changeful ray,
Nor night with sable pall;
There tears and sorrows pass away.
Like shadows from the wall.

One of the most terrific hurricanes within the
recollection of any ol our inhabitants has just
pa-sed over us, leaving ruin and desolation behind
it Trees have been uprooted, fences and bridges
-*». earned away, the crops blighted and destroyed,
t and dams alter being oi’e»flowed by the
4 tide, broken and washed away, and hundreds of
acres ol covered, which never had, per
; haps, the ocean wrß*sJ[upoa it betore. Owing to
the prevalence ol NoCneasteriy winds, which
commenced to blow tresrhpn Wednesday morn
ing, and continued to in violence until
Thursday night, when the stiVui burst upon us
riSin ah its lury, a great accUtmiTafran ol watei was
- thrown upon our coast, and the tide rose here
higher on Fiiday morning than it has ever been
known before.
It has made a clean sweep across Edding’s
Island, in five or six different places, irom the
westerly and up to the middle of the Island,
Aeanhe residence of Gen. Wayne, aeiuss by the
Episcopal Church, which has been bereto ; ore

tide, Iffe encroachment of the sea on the trout
beach is so great as to bring the tides now with
in a few leet of the doors ol many of the houses,
(it is now under the piazzas of two or three,)
and has given rise to the opinion among ma.iy of
the inhabitants, that the islaud will “no longer

The tide during the gale oi 1804, i 6 known to
most of us only by tradition, w hich is al ways

Hfore bad a higher tide in this neighborhood than i
that ol the morning of the Srh.
In consequence not merely oi the violeuce of ‘
the wind, but its tong durattot., (lor it com- J

Weather, Crops, &c.
1 • drmity (Catahoula parish) Advocate, of
the 30th ult., says, the cotton weed has lately
shown a disposition to shed, and the loss on the
Black River plantations is already estimated at
one third or the crop a short time ago expected.
The Richmond (Madison parish) Journal, of
the Ist inst., says:
A recent trip through portions of the parishes
of Carroll, Morehouse and Ouachite, has satisfied
us that the crop will be short in these parishes.
There will be a great scarcity of corn, and cot
ton will tail far below the average. In portions
ot this parish the cotton crop is excellent, in oth
ers very indifferent. Corn has turned out very
badly as a general thing.
the Clayton (Ala.) Banner, of the 2d inst.,
says: 7
The corn cron is now made, and will turn out
a little more than the last crop. There is suffi
cier.t made to satisfy pressing necessity, provi
ded it is used economically. Many of our farm
ers are now using this year’s crop, and there will
be such a draft upon it, that we may expect corn
to sell at about the same price it has brought this
year, that is, one dollar per bushel in the fall and
winter, and one dollar and twenty-five cents in
the spring.
The cotton crop, which looked so promising
in June, has beeu so much injured by the heat
and drought, that it has fallen far below what
was anticipated at that time. The weed stop
ped growiug about the middle of August, the
blooms commenced falling, and the cotton began
to shed. Last season the cotton made all through
September, but this year there appears to be very
few blooms, and the top crop,” which is the
latest, promises very little if any thing. While
all kinds of lands have suffered terribly, the best
cotton lands have been immensely injured by
the rust.
Last year it was estimated that thirty thous
and bagsot cotton were sent to market lrom this
couDty—this year w r e cannot reasonably expect
more than twenty thousaud, so that the cotton
crop is cutoff' one-third.
Ihe Somerset (Ky.) Gazette says, there no
longer exists a hope that there will be made even
a half crop of corn in that part of the State. In
lact, in some locwlities the crop will not be up
to a fourth.
The Lexington (Ky.) Statesman says, the
corn crop thereabouts is very seriously injured
by the long-continued drought.
The Fayetteville Observer learns from a gen
tleman who recently travelled through seven
teen of the upper counties of North Carolina,
that there is every prospect ot an unusually
fine crop of corn.
A letter from Asheville, Buncombe county,
says, there is no mistake about good crops in
that stetion ot North Carolina.
The Albany (Ga.) Patriot, of the Ist inst,
reports very warm weather with occasional
showers; health and crops good—some
few planters complaining of the rust in cotton.
1 he St. Louis Intelligencer says that the crops
in Southwestern Missouri will not yield one
fourth of their average quantity. Flour in that
section is worth $lO per barrel, and corn meal
$1.25 per bushel.
Mexico—lmportant News.
In some previous issues we made our readers
acquainted with the condition of northern and
eastern Mexico. The last mail from the Rio
Grande brings us some important infoimation.
We now find nearly the whole country in arms
against Santa Anna, and in tavor ot the rights
ot the States. Carvajal,it is reported, has attack
ed and taken Comargo, while the whola of Gu
errero and Tainaulipas are already in the hands
ot the people. Gen. Alvarez, who w-as report
ed dead by Santa Anna’s friends, is not only
alive, but actually at the head of the govern
ment ot Guerrero. A very signal victory over
Gen. Woll nas taken place near Matamoras.—
V aldomar. who headed the people iu a drawn
ba ? tie with VVoil, while he did not lose one
man, killed five officers and about forty men of
his opjionenf. It is hardly credible that the peo
ple should have been so fortunate against a gen
era! ol so much experience, yet we are never
theless well assured ot the tact. The fall of
Matamoras is every hour expected. Consider
able dismay was throwiunto the ranks of the
Santa Anna party by the extraordinary news
of the last mail from Mexico. It was
then made known, for the fast time that
the people ot Jalisco had revotied, and sup
plies destine* for Sauta Annals aimy on the Rio,
Grande, had been stopped to aid his army m
that quarter.
The tall of Santa Anna must be at hand.—
He was placed in power mainly by the party at
Guadeiajara, the Capital of Jalisco, who set the
involution on toot, during Santa Anna’s exile m
Cuba. Ii things have come to this pass, that
the tide which carried hicn onward to victory
and power, is about to flow back again, it would
be a stiange thing, in this fickle rriinded’country
if it did not flow back to its ebb, and we should
shortly see the one liberator—then the detender
—again the tyiant, then the exile—once again
the beloved restorer of civil order, and Dictator,
at last fallen, perhaps forever, from the chief
magistracy of this pseudo Republic, to a com
mon lugitive from justice. It it is tru°, as we
learn by the last mail, that Vera Cruz has also
revolted, and the city declared in a state of seige
in addition to the Tula, San Fernando, Sota de
la Marina, Jiminese, and other cities, we must
be prepaied to witness more sad reverses in San
ta Anna’s career, and a still wider—perhaps en
tire—revolution in Mexico. —Justin (2 'exas)

Havana, Sept. 4 —The Captain General, the
Marquis De ia Pezuela, did not depart as he had
intended to have done, in the Spanish mad steam
er of the 2d instant, he having been solicited by
the Ayuntaraiento to remain-until Gen. Concha
shall arrive. There are various reports in cir
culation as to the cause of this request of the Ay
untamento, among others that the troops at
Tiimdad, Matanzas, and elsewhere, have exhib
ited signs of disaffection, whilst others say the
Marquis De Pezuela remains to prevent the car
rying out of the splendid arrangements with
which it is intended to welcome the arrival of
his successor. I know not which ol these re
ports are the more correct, but I do know, that
on the evening of the Ist in -taut, the Marquis
De La Pezuela, was driven up and down several
ol the most popular parts of this city, sitting
alone in his <arriage, unattended by the usual
bouy ol Ltie Guaids. Thus proving himself a

found that she was afflicted with the disease. as
represented by her attending physician, Dr-

Death of the Eev. Joshua G. Payne.
It is with feelings of deep legret and heartfelt
sympathy that we are called upon to record the
sudden death of this young and promising Minis
ter of the Gospel. Although our personal at
quaintance with Mr. P. was but slight, yet even
slight as it was, it was formed under such cir
cumstances as to give us a most exalted opinion
of him as a gentleman and Christian Minister.
It is with melancholy pleasure that we give
place to the following, from the pen of one who
shared bis labors, and to him in
his sickness and dying hour were unwearied and
full of affectionate kindness.
“ Mr. Payne was placed in charge ot Wesjey
Chapel, by the last Georgia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and fell a
victim, in the discharge of his pastoral duties, to
he prevailing epidemic, having breathed his
last on the morning of the 12th inst., at 10 min
utes past 2 o’clock. Mr. P. was blit a few
months over 24 years of age, with an apparently
long and promising future, and bright earthly ca
reer before him, this being but his second year in
the ministry. He graduated at Emory College,
in this State, and was a Georgian by biith, edu
cated and sympathy.
“ This being his first summer jtn our city, in
consequence of which, not being acclimated; he
was irequently urged to take care of himself, as
he was on account of want of acclimation, more
susceptible of contracting disease ; to which he
would invariably respond, “ Savannah is as near
to Heaven as any other place I know of.” The
day before his death, he requested that when he
died his home ones might be informed that he
fell at his post.” At the same time he remark
ed, that he had not previously supposed that he
would have been taken from earth so soon ; but
that God’s will was his will, and that had he ten
thousand lives, he would devote them all to his
Master’s service. He said also, that he esteemed
it a privilege and an honor to have shared the
post of danger, disease and death ; for,” added
he, " it has proven a pasture-ground to my soul.”
i his was the burden of a message to be deliver
ed to his fellow-members oi Conference at their
next session.
“We refrain from panegyric. His noble con
duct in attending upon the poor, the sick, the
needy, and the afflicted, everywhere throughout
the city, day and night, ministering to their souls
and bodies, with a self-sacrificing zeal and yet a
calm, unobtrusive and humble demeanor, would
only be detracted Iran by any attempt at eulogy.
"He lived to do good; much, very much of
which he was instrumental in accomplishing
during the short time permitted him in his min
isterial career. He has gone to his reward!
His best epitaph is that which he himself sug
gested, not 24 hours before .us dissolution, and
in the full prospect of death, as follows :
‘ Joshua G Payne,
Born (naturally) January 4tb, 1830,
Born again (spiritually) Sept. 26th, 1847.

Death of Bishop Barron. —The Rt. Rev.
Edward Barron, D. D., Catholic Missionary
Bishop of the Coast of Africa, died in this city
yesterday, of Pneumonia. In consequence of
impaired health Bishop Barron was on leave of
absence lrom his charge, and has been tempora
rily residing in Florida. On his way to the
North, a few weeks since, he stopped in this city.

Death of Mr. Charles Hartridge.
We are again called upon to repeat the oft
told tale ot the ravages of the King of Terrors
in our doomed city. Mr. Charles Hartridge, the
third son and the namesake ot one of our most
respected merchants, who preceded him to the
grave but a few months since, was
on Friday, the Bth instant, and died on the fol
lowing! Monday evening. His age was 20 years
and el sen months. He was attendee rlurine his
illness by eminent physicians, ariu was watched
over by a few frit-nils, with all the interest and
anxiety that could Lave been' shown by the
nearest relatives.
Alter leaving Brown University, where he
had, for a time, been matriculated, he commenc
ed the study of medicine in the office cl Dr.
Geddings, of Charleston, and afterwaids of Dr.
Arnold, of this city .It had been bis intention,
during the coming season to pioceed to one ot
medical lectures, preparatory to entering upon
the active duties of his profession.
He was regarded by his instructors and others
who knew- him well, as a young man of fine
abilities, and high hopes weie indulged in regard
to the future which was opening beiore him.—
From a slight personal acquaintance, we may be
allowed to say that, with an undTTtrusive and
even retiring modesty, he united social qualities
ot a very high order, while his principles of con
duct, both iu his professson and in the inter
course of every day file entitled to the fullest
respect and confidence of any community in
which he might have lived.-Sun. News, 13 eh inst.

A Case without a Parallel.
In the Washington Union of the present week
we see the official announcement of the appoint
ment of John -McClintock as Naval Officer at
the Custom-house, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Capt. McClintock’s term ol office expires un
der his old appointment this day, and on Mon
day next he enters on his ninety.fourth year, and
on the discharge of the duties ol his. new four
years’ commission. A parallel case of an ap
pointment to a responsible office of one who is of
that advanced age and of physical abilities to
discharge its duties cannot probably be lound at
the present time in the world or in past history
since the Christian era. 1
Capt. John McClintock was born on the 28th
day ol August 17G1. He was the son of the
Rev. Dr. Samuel McClintock, ol Greenland,
who was chaplain in the army of the revolution
afid the Battle ol Bunker Hill. That Patriotic
clergyman may be seen represented in the en
graving ol the battle in his ministerial bands,
near the spot where Gen. Warren lies wounded.
Jon McClintock, at the age of about sixteen, en
tered tbe set vice in the private armed ship Al
exander, of twenty guns. At the age of seven
teen he was master’ smate, and was entrusted
w ith conducting a prize into the West Indies.—
He remained in the service lour years lacking
one month, but not being in any public ship, j
he receives no pension lor levoltionary services.
Capt. McClintock has in the course of his long
lile experienced "various vicissitudes, but has en
joyed uninterrupted good healttf irom childhood,
and is now as vigorous as men generally are at
two-thirds of his age. He takes as much inter
est in the passing affairs of the times'as an y one
around us. We met him in the Athenaeum ear- :
ly one morning ttie present week, perusing ilie
various papers on the stands. Speaking of his !
appointment, he said : "Some may regard me as
old and worn out, and the office giveu to me as
a mere sinecure. But such is not the case. For
live years 1 have never been absent from alien- i
ding to the duties of office but one day, winter or
summer.” That day his health was good, but it 1
was in a severe storm which shut up people gen- I
erally. He writes a clear and smooth hand,
without any iremuiousness. All tbe accounts of
the custom-house go under his personal exami
nation. Although engaging his constant care, !
the emoluments of the office last year were less
than Idur hundred dollars. He is grateful lor it
tor he says at his timp of life there are not many
kinds of business to which he can give his atten
tion
It there ever was an occasion when the peo
ple of all parties can unite in rejoicing at the ap
pointment ot a man to office, it is in the present
favorable attention President P.erce has paid to
our aged anifdeserviiig cit.zen. Let the flags be
displayed and the guns fired when he etiteis his
office on Monday next.
The Weather and Health —We have had
recently some refreshing showers, though the
weather stiii continues warm. We have leasou
to be thanklul to a beneficent Creator, that
while many of our cities and towns have been
scourged by pestilence, that we can say that we
do not know of a case of sickness in our town.

FRIDAY MORNING, SEFT. 15.
The Yellow Fever.
We do not recollect when our city was thrown
in greater commotion than on yesterday after
noon, when a report gained credence and circu
lation, some said one, some two, and we heard it
run up to eight cases of Yellow Fever had origi
nated in this city.
His Honor the Mayor promptly called the
Board of Health, and the several Physicians to
gether in the evening, at the City Hall, for the
purpose of ascertaining the correctness of the va
rious reports, and to give publicity to their cor
rectness or falsity.
In company with many other citizens we at
tended, and found the doors closed, but as scon as
we were recognised by the Mayor, he came for
ward ami invited us into the room, expressing at
the same time, that it was his intention to keep
the press and the public fully advised of every
case of Yellow Fever originating in this city.
* We listened attentively to several reports
made by different physicians, which we must ac
knowledge were not very satisfactory to our
; minds, (and we and old yellow Jack are old ac
quaintances.) and thought we would gain more
intounalion on the subject 'coming up under dis
cussion. But just at this important time we
were politely requested to leave, which we did.
; We believe it is the intention of our worthy
Mayor to give to the public the earliest informa
j tion, should this dreaded disease make its appear*
; ance in our midst, and we can only assure our
readers that we shall do every thing in our power
j to forward his views.
Since the above was written it will be seen by
the official report of the Board of Health, that
| but one death has occurred in this city, that is
said to have originated here. This report should
j remove the existing excitement on the part of
our citizens. Should another death occur, and it
i comes to our knowledge, we will promptly re
port it.

An Incediary Attempt
We learn that on Monday evening last about
halt-past eleven o’clock, a diabolical attempt,
was made to set iire to the Catholic Parsonage in
this city,occupied by the Rev. Mr. Barry. The
alarm was soon given, which brought up the oc
cupants of the building, and with the assistance
ot Mr. Wni. McLaughlin,one of our old Fire

Our city authorities should offer a large reward

The Wheat Crop in Great Britain. —Gen.
Webb, in a leetter from England to the New
York Courier & E:.quireig-~writes “ that the
wheat crop, now being' rapidly secured with
out the slightest injury from the occasional
showers which have fallen in certain dis
tricts. and which has slightly retarded the work,
is not only the greatest in extext, but the most
productive per acre that has ever been produced
rn the United Kingdom.
Post Office Depredations.
It having been stated to us, that reports are
floating through the country of depredations hav
ing recently been committed at the Pest Office
in this city, to the amount of from twenty-five
to one hundred thousand dollars, we use the oc
casion to say, that they are greatly exaggerated.
Twelve or thirteen thousand dollars' will cover
the whole ; mount, and nearly all of it was re
covered from the negro boy, who confessed that
he committed the deputations. Not the slight
est suspicion attached to. those connected with
the office. We are pleased to state, that from
the stringent regulations adopted by our energet
ic Postmaster, in every branch of the business of
the office, and which are daily enforced, it will
be scarcely possible for so unpleasant an occur
rence to happen again. It affords us pleasure to
state, that after conversing with the Postmaster,
and learning fully, the nature of the reforms in
stituted by him, no one interested, need feel any
fears as to the safety of monetary remittances,
so far as the management of the Augusta Post
Office is concerned.
We find the following in the Rome Courier :
Mail Robbkry. —A few days since a letter
was handed us, written by a Commission Mer
chant of Augusta, to a gentleman of this place.
We take the lioerty to extract a couple of para
graphs from it by which it will be seen, that the
mail has been robbed at Augusta It is a mat
ter of surprise that so little has been said in re
ference to the outrage. From a letter shown us
this morning, mailed at Augusta, we feel autho
rized to state that the robbery was committed by
a negro at the Augusta Post Office, but as yet
are ignorant of particulars.
Augusta, Aug. 30, 1854.
We have received to-day, through the Post
Office Agents a letter from you, dated the sth in
stant, saying you had enclosed therein R. R. Re
ceipt for five bags of cotton, which you wished
us to sell. The mail has been robbed either at
the Poss Office or on the way between the depot
and the Post Office, and hundreds of letters have
been found in different places, which had been
opened and contents taken out, and the letters
and envelopes secreted. The ‘ letter from you,
was, with many others, found in the bottom ot
the canal, tied up in a towel and sunk. It is
covered with mud but can be read. Tie receipt
is gone ******
The Post Office Agents a.e in
vestigations and have found aboulr $7,000. A
negro man, who is supposed to be the principal
robber, made confession and told where *he let
ters and money could be found.— Home Courier.
Failure of the Protf.ction Insurance

Failure of the Protection Insurance
Company. —We regret to be obliged to announce
the Jaiiure of the Protection Insurance Comany

The Directors have employed all the means that
lay in their pow'er to avert the calamity, but
their efforts were unavailing. Persons holding
policies in this company will see the necessity
of an immediate re-insurance in some other of

Health of Knoxville
The Knoxville Register of the ll’h instsays:
Although no grateful shower has as yet visited
us, the atmosphere is much cooler than it has
been for some time past, ar.d its exhilirating and
bracing effect is easily discerrr&bie on,th‘e br;ght
ening countenances of our citizens who remain
in town. In fact the gloomy place which tor
ten days has overspread our city seems to be
gradually lilting up, arid giving place to an air
having the semblar.ee of returning cherfullness
and reviving confidence; neaily all places of
business on Gay street are open this morning
and the town wears an aspect of vitality and life
w*h;eh we are truly glad to witness.
For amtbis, however, we are by no means
free frorn sickness, and those who have sought
safety in flight, should by no means think of re
turningiintil a decided change in the weather,
and urmiwly have been assured by our physcians
that their return w ill be unattended with dan
| gerto themselves or to the general health of the
city. They should, also, beibre they come back,
j-take proper steps to open and w ill ventilate the

ssmall clegvee to invite a return of the cholera.
We learn that there were five new cases, last
night, none of them fatal as yet and but one of a
severe chaiacter, besides these there are but two
cfases within cur knowledge, which areconsider-

.Co-rfON Crop. —We have now received from
aii sections of the State, -.very good information
of whafcwe may expect from the.growing cot

drought, the plant has matured too rapid to ex- >
poet a heavy tall picking. The general opinion
prevails that we shall not have an average crop, i
In'some parts of our lower country the worm

t Pennsylvania Coal Trade. —The anthracite
coal trade of Pennsylvania is still prosecuted
with great iabor, and the Philadelphia Ledger
says from all it can learn, there is no probability
ot a suspension of shipments for a week, in order
to keep a short supply, maintain prices, 1
as suggested by the Miner’s Journal of Pottsville.
Such a policy, the Ledger adds, would be as
wricked as we believe unnecessary. During the
W’eek, the amount of coal brought down from |
the mines was 114,085 tons, making for the sea
son the laige aggregate of 2,827,271 tons. This
isa very heavy business, and gives a largely in
creased tonnage over the business of the corres
ponding time last year.
CapJ, lieevelaad, of the schooner Virginia,

was dismasted and water logged. On Sunday
