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.

We have had no mail from your city since Thursday last.

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 considered the part ol the village of Eddings ville most secure from the danger ol the Ocean • 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 afoid them safety in luture summers as a resi dence. The tide during the gale oi 1804, i 6 known to most of us only by tradition, w hich is al ways I Jinceitain and apt to exaggerate. It may. there fore, well be doubted whetuer we hav L ever be- 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 menced its dalnage upon our fields early on 1 Thursday morning, and did not cease until a 'ate hour on 'Saturday night, when the rain came ! in torrents and has filled the coun ry with water.) there are many fields, and parts of fields. |j| wfa'.- h were exposed to it, on the seashore, in which the Cotton is total lu destroyed, and where | the plants are as dead as they will be in Decern- , ber< A lew of the eaily Irtiit. which are now | Pripe, amounting to perhaps the fourth of the crop, j may yield cotton; but all the middle and top fruit , from which the largest expectations weie indulged, (and they wete certain)*/ veiy flatter ingj have been either thrashed off by the wind, or are entirely dead upon the stalks. In shel tered situations on the seashore, and on tbe plantations mure in the interior, it may well te ! supposed that the damage has been less But everywhere it must be great, since, from the pe culiarity of the season previously, the chief de pendence of the planter this year was upon the top fruit, for a good crop. 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) Gazette, 2d inst.

Ail the sails were canied away, lore-top gallant mast, fore topmast broken, lore mast cracked, boat lost, pumps carried away by the fall of the main mast’ water-logged. Ihe Captain was taken with yellow fever the day wMeft Charleston, and died of black vomit on Wednesday night.”— lb. (Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.) 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 man, daring Lis enemies to carry out their A. report; is in circulation, that cards with the wo.ds • Death to Pezyela,” printed on them, were discoveied strewed in tbe vicinity of the Palace, on the morning of the 2d inst. Bellow Fever in Philadelphia. — The Ledger of h nday has the following: On Wednesday, tne attention of Dr. Gilbert physician ot the jmrt, was called to the fact of a casa of yellow (ever in the neighborhood oi Penn street. He officially visited the patient and found that she was afflicted with the disease. as represented by her attending physician, Dr- Geigan, and yesterday morning she died. The deceased was a domestic of correct habits, and as far as known, had not been at any place or lo cality where she would have been liable to con tract the disease or any affectipn tending to de velope it. 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. ‘ He is not dead, but sieepeth.’ ” Savannah Georgian , 14n't. 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. When the epidemic broke out he concluded to remain to render such service as circumstances inkht permit. Until attacked witn the disease oWvbich he had been instiumental of much good in our midst. lie wasorig nally attached to the diocese of Baltimore.— Savannah Georgian. 14 th. 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. [From the Portsmouth (N. H ) Journal ] 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 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. Council Chamber. August.,, Sept. 14, 1854, Meeting of thi Board of Health— The Board of Health reports one death by Yellow Fever on the 14th. The subject was a mulattQ girl, about fifteen years of age. Also a German, J. Roahl, aged 30 years, a citizen of Charleston, who con tracted the disease before his arrival in this city. L. L Antony, Secretary. 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 men, who resides in the neighborhood, it was soon got under, without material injury. The uper pait of the blinds of the potico, near the corner, was stufied with rags and other combus tible materials, and when the fire was discover ed, it had made some progress in the ceiling Our city authorities should offer a large reward lor the discovery of the person or persons en gaged in this outrageous attempt, and if discov ered they deserve the utmost rigor of i>ie law.

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.

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.

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.
