An Original Love Story.
Ho strasrglei to kiss her Shestuggl d the sain j
_ To prevent him. so cold and und >unted ;
Hut as smitten by lightning, us heard her exclaim,
" Avaunt, sir,” and off he avaunted.
But when he returned with tho fiendishest laugh,
Showing cleaily that he was affronted,
And threiM.eneu by main force *o carry her off,
She cried u Don’t,” and he poor fellow donted.
When he meekly approached, and got down at her
feet,
Praying loud, as before he had ranted.
That ah wea l forgive him and try to be sweet.
And said “Can’t you”—the dear girl recanted.
Then softly he whispered—“ How cou:d ye do so 7
I certainly thought I was jiited, *
But o me thou with me, to ibo parson wo 11 go,
Say, wilt thou, my dear 7 ” —and she wilted.
■%s Then gaily he took her to see her new home—
A shanty by no means enchanted—
“ See ! here we can live with no longer to roam,”
He said, “Shant we, my .tear 7 ” So they shanted

And gently beamed over them love’s rose-colored

My own lovely Sail”—so they sallied
He plucked her the sweetest ar.d lovliest flower
That scented the path whero they wandered,
And v.heu shA exclaimed, “ Lei us turn from this

And roam near the psni’—tuen they pondered

And the frogs a “good evening” had croaked,

The Great Erie Railroad Case Decided

Judge Lewis directed from the opinion of the
majority of court, and Judge Lowrie deliveied r,
!|*upplemental opinion, in w hich he bay* he would
have concurred in a more stnngenf decree. We
quote from hieopinion.es follows:
L “ The detendants were incorporated in 1842
r—to make a railroad from Erie to the Slate line
on the east, and it is very plain that the sole
thought that was in the mind of the Legislature,
in incorporating it, was to psovide a means ot
commercial connection between the haiber of
Erie and the State of New York. It is v*»ry
plain, also, that this company has turned almost
eotirely aside Irom this pu.pose to one that was
not at all intended, and, with the aid of that frau
dulent concern, the Franklin Canal Company’s
roaJ, they have carried out their own main pur
pose ot forming a connection between Ohio and
New \ oik, and have converted ’lie intended and
propel terminus ot their road into little hotter
than a water station.’’
Judge L thus glances at the opinion held by a
majority of our court, on an important point
which we have omitted :
**l am sorry that rry brethren think, that
when an incorporated town or city is m ,’de the
terminus o'’a railroad, the company Las, by im
plication, a right to carry their road to any point
witbirjpthe tow nor city, and along any ot its
street*;that they may choose, and this without
being it ali subject to the direction or restraint
of the local authorities. 1 should have beer
pleased to have the concurrence of my brethren
in a contrary doctrine It seems to me tnat this
is giving to mere private corporations or asso
ciation* a superioity thus far over those public
functionaries to whom the interests ot the public
are intrusted, and this, too, by no necessary im
plication. It seems Lard enough to have to ma. e
such an implication in relation to a town or city
that lies between the termini.”

Sometime since, .Mr. Henry Short Jr
clerk on Fil th street, became attached to a beau
tnully young iaday, residing on Filth street and i
to whom be soon engaged himself lor marri- 1
age. Mr. Short, ab; ut a month age went to !
Pmiaddphia on a visit to ins parents, who ies;de
on Cnestnut street, in that city. During his sb- I
sence he received a letter from a fellow cierk, I
that his betrotned lady love was keeping the
company of a young "limb of the la w,” named
Alexander Peacock, now a resident of Chicugo,
but a native of this City. The letter gave Mr. f
i rca!, on to believe that Peacock and his lady
ove were engaged. Mr. S. reiurnrd home and
touad that au had not been told him—that P.
au s.antlered him, and detained his character to
.eyoung ady,anu thus won her affections.— !
an ejc P lariat iori. he wrote to
1 eacock and the iauy, and demanded the same,
i hey both treated him coldly, and requested Mr.
. ot to annoy them with his communications
-the young lady at the same time returning h-r
engagement ring, This so enraged Mr S ’that
he seat a challenge to Mr. P., which was accept
ed, and rifles were chosen as the weapons be
coads were appointed, who fixed the piece or.,
meeting and tune. No persons were prase nP
except a few friends of each party, and their se
conds. At the first fire no injury was sustained
by either of the duellists. An effort was then
made to reconcile the difficulty, but ne.ther par
ty would listen to any compromise, and the par
ties were ordered to their post lor the second fire.
The word was given and Mr. S. fell bleeding to
the ground, the ball having taken effect in his
left shoulder. He was then picked up and ta
ken to Mr. Brenson’s, farmer’s house, and his
wound dressed. He is considered in a critical
condition. It is now understood that when the
young lady learned what had happened, she re
fused to have anything to do with either parties
and has resolved to break off ali engagements
with each ot the gentlemen. It is, therefore,
evident that in this case the old adage of " faint
heart never won fair lady,” has been reversed.
Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
Storm on the Ogechee.
Bryan, Sept. Bth, 1854.
Messrs. Editors:—Out here it looks very much
as if old Dame Nature had a frolic, and forgot to
put thu gs to rights, when she got through—or as
old Daniel said to me this morning, when 1 pro
posed a hunt, “ why Ma sa. ebry thing so “ con
fusen”—the deer themselves don’t Know where
to go.” He is pretty near right, ebry thing is
bery confusion.
4 Twas a great pity one could not separate the
feelings of the grand and the pecuniary, during
the last few days—ior it was truly a grand sight,
Pent up, as you were, with brick and mortar,
surrounded with man’s work—falling roois and
scattered tiles, were all that you denisons of a
town could see. Had you been on a point of
land with miles of waves, chasing each other,
“ Like battle steeds with foaming manes
When tossing in the wind
all around you, as far as the eye could reach, the
wild waves dashing against the snore, sending
their spray miles inland on the furious gale—old
oaks, whose gnarled limbs have tossed in stub
born resistance to the storms ot centuries having
to yield before a powertoo mighty even tor their
biave struggle. The very fish in their own ele
ment, tossed and beaten about, until they floated
liteless on the shore. The animals, with droop
ing heads flying to the thickest coverts from the
fury of the gale in the more open fields, with
low moaning evincing their tenor at this out
break of nature’s power—you would then have
seen how old Dame Nature lrolics And yet we
could not but feel amid this exhibition ot power
and tury, that each higher wave, each more fu
rious blast, was engulphing thousands upon
thousands of dollars, the bard earned success of
the last year’s toil. The loss on our river has
been very great. Fully one half, if not more, of
the rice crop has been cut —that will be almost
an entire loss—what was still uncut, must fall
iar short in its yield; whipped and tossed, as it
I was by the gale ere the waters covered it, then
; being under the salt water from two to three
1 days, will damage it still more. The salt water
was forced up to the bridge, oveiflowing the
banks on every place, the water reaching Mr.
King’s piazza at the bridge.
The cotton crops will be almost a failure, for
the bolls and haves strew the alleys, leaving the
bare stalks and branches a mocking signt to the
| poor planter.
But lew panels of fence were left standing,
| and the mere destruction of the beautiful shade
! trees on some of the plantations is in itself
enough to make one feel sad.
They say good is to be derivered from all
; things—faith, unless it has borne on its strong
wings, the latai disease, which has already made
so many homes sad in our fair city. It puzzi s
; us out here to find it. The wiki ducks, next
winter, will have a glorious harvest, and the fish
who lute a lice diet, can have their full contents.
I hope to get back part of my ciop next win
ter, in the shape ot iat wild ducks.
No iives lost and but few buildings injured.
We will ali have to adopt the motive, 44 no use
to cry over spilt lice” this time, and with the
planters usual consolation in ail troubles—trust
| to the next crop— Yours, &e. M.

Th# Baby.
O, yes, take the baby along by all means. Ba
bies love dearly to ride in the cars and toddle
about in steamboats Why, the baby is the life
of the party. We have known a whole room
full or people, entertained by one, hour after
hour. Sleeping or waking, the prettv little
cieature that caii lisp a little Engiisn or French,
one can haidiy tell whicn. is the 'Universal de
light, and many a party has been stupid lor tne
want of one.
In old times, when they used to journey in
stages, a lady who had a sweet little child with
her could scarcely cull it hci own the w:,ole way,
the gentlemen weresoiond ol cairying, keeping
it. Why, the bacnelors loved to play with and
dandle her on tneir knees, though at first tuey
might be a lit le bashtul and awkward in taking
hold of the strange and unaccustomed thing.—
But the smiles and winning ways ol the baby
were always irresistible, and sure to overcome
at last the most obstinate bachelor. People love
babies as they do flowers.. Gentlemen especi
ally, who are fond of flowers, like babies, the
sweetest ol them ail, to carry in their hands, just
as they Would put a carnation m their button
holes.
How babies and butteiflies do swarm in sum
mer, to be sure ! It is then they are on the wing.
Pray, don’t .try to keep them Irom Hying about
and alighting here and there when something
strikes their fancy, opening and shutting their
haiins and wings awrule, then flitting away
again. Ye, that have babies! don’t go any
where without them. Batter leave your purse
behind, it wtii be less missed. The light ot your
eyes will be quenched, and your tongue will
miss its inspiration. What a literary everlasting
topic is the baby ! She does this, she did that.
Baby laughed in her sleep. Her mother does
believe it was because she saw something which
one so lately irom the skies could only beh id.
Baby can say this woid, and hides away some
times from her mamma, though ail hut her nose
and eyes are in plain sight.
Ye, who have no baby ! get the lawful owner
ship ol one as soon as possible. You don’t know
what a fountain of pure lehcity it is. She is the
light and joy ot the whole house. The sweet
little creature is the brightest jewel in ynur cabi
net, and ornamental to your drawing-room ; the
choicest garland in your garden; the most inex
haustible ot entertaining company. There is no
solitude where a baby is. Care and trouble dis
appe >r at the approach of the happy, laughing
little cherub. She is chloroform to your anxie
ties and exhilarating gas to your pleasures. We
adopt the style ot advice ot a money-loving lath
er to his son, with a change of a word or two
“Procure a baby, friend—honestly, of course, but
at any rate be sure arid get one.” A graceful
vine she will be to you in youth, which will
support you in the infirmities of age — Newark

pale and pensive countenance, not pretty, hut I
interesting. She dresses in white, and wears a
bouquet. She sits close to her mamma and the

fully to the place, inhaling by the way the fra

place, which consists of a sort of drawing-room
soliloquy by the gent eman, with echoes of some
ol his words at appropriate intervals by the lady
To all direct questions she returns the shortest
possible answers. She has lew opinions of her
own; and her silence proceeds in some degree
from mauvaise hont ; but in a greater degree from
having nothing to say.—Yet, though she is thus

Astronomical Observations iha Coal-pit.
—Ou Saturday Professor Airy, Astronomer

i The schooner Dirigo. Capt. Gordon, from
I Jacksonville, Florida, to Boston, with lumber,
! was overtaken by the late gale on the Bth inst,
i Jn laf '; degs., and nearly off Savannah. At
5 P. M. of luday, the gale then blowing a vio
lent hurucane, she was thrown on her beam
ends, but was afterwards righted by cutting away
masts, when it was found that nearly everything
on board, and her provision stores had been lost.
In this condition, wearied exhausted, suffer
ing and severely bruised, the crew remained
j clinging to the wreck, until noon of Wednesday,
the 13th inst., when they were taken off by the

Storm in. Mclntosh County.
Mclntosh County, Sept. 10, 1534.
i Messrs. Eriitois We have just passed through
one of the most destructive hurricanes that has
ever been witnessed on the seaboard ot Georgia,
j It commenced al 9 o’clock, on Thursday night,
i and continued until 12 the next night. The in
jury to the cotton and rice crops on the coast
must be immense. Our yards ami the roads are
* literally blocked up with fallen trees, fully'.is
much so, I think as from the hurricane of 1842.
We have not time to ascertain the lull extent ot
| the injury yet. No lives have been lost in this
a iemity. as the storm occurred in the day.
Yours,&c. C. H. H
I Injury to the Rice Crops.— ln addition to
the particulars already given, we learn that the
damage to the Rice crops in South Carolina has
been as great as in Georgia. The holds on Com
, bahee river were six leet under water, in many
! places, and the crops along that stream and the
i western branch ol the Cooper river have suffer
ed greatly. FI e damage was immense also on
the Carolina side of the Savannah river as far up
as Laurel Hill and Barnsbie landing. The salt
water was carried up to those points, and ail the
\ ‘-‘ut rice was floated off. The injury to banks
j and canals has been great throughout Carolina.

Health of Augusta.
There was quite a stampede of citizens jes
terday in consequence of the reported case and
death of a negro girl by Yellow Fever in our
city of the day previous. We hope by the time
most of them reach their journeys end, we may
have tue pleasure of assuring them that there ex
isted no cause for their speedy flight. The num
ber that lett in all directions, created a panic.
Perhaps it is well for those left behind, as well
as for the commercial interest of the city, that
they have gone, lor had any of them been taken
with an August and September tilious fever,
they would have imagined Yellow Jack had
possession of them, and thus been the means of
increasing a temporary panic.
We give below the report of our Board of
Health, from which it will be seed that no death
by yellow lever occurred in our city yesterday
and will keep our readers advi ed of all deaths
occurring by this disease, coming to our knowl
edge, whether they originate in this city or are
brought from abroad.

Health of Savannah.
We learn from a passenger w’ho arrived, last
evening from Savannah, that there was 34 m
termerments in that city yesterday.
A telegraph despatch received by a gentleman
yesterday, gives the melancholy tidings of the
death ot J. Olmstead, Cashier of the Fire and
Marine Bank. He died at 2, p. m., yesterday of
Yellow Fever.
Health of Messrs. Wardard Bartow.
The latest advices we have, convey the grati
fying intelligence that borthof these gentlemen
continue to improve daily.
Look to your Premises.
We understand several cases of robbery oc
curred on Thursday evening. The Boarding
House of Mr. Ramsey was entered, and a Gold
Hunting Duplex Lever, and some money was
taken. Mr Clarke, who stops at the Eagle &
Phoenix Hotel, also lost his Pocket Book, con
taining $l3O and sundry notes. We would re
fer to advertisements in this day’s paper for de
scription of property stolen. There is no doubt
these rohberies were committed by negroes, and
would advise all to keep a good watch and load
ed pistols under their piilow.
During the storm of last Saturday night and
Sunday week eight inches of rain fell at New
Haven, and six inches at Farmington, Conn.
Frost —We learn, (says the N. Y. Journal
Commerce of 12th inst.) that host was seen yes
terday in some parts of Connecticut, where, 36
hours before, the beat was oppressive in the ex
treme.
A Navy Captain Cashiered. —The Wash
ington Star states that Capt. Samuel W. Down
ing, of the U. S. Navy, who was recently tried
by a general naval court-martial, at Philadelphia,
was found guilty of all the charges preferred
against him, with the exception of the charge
of “disobedience of orders,” and sen'enm! to
be cashiered. The finding and sentence of the
court having been approved by the President of
the United States, Captain Dow ning has been
notified that he will no longer be regarded as an
officer of the Navy.
Serious Riot at Washington, Va—Oa the
9 h inst., a riot occurred at Washington, Rappa
hannock county, Va., between some citizens and
those attached to Barnaul’s Menagerie, growing at
first,out of the fact that a slave boy, as is alleged }
was found with them, having been persuaded to
leave hi 3 owner —and secondly, in reference to the
charge for admission. Theriot became so serious,
that the militia had to be ordered-out to restoro
peace. Several persons were, injured, among them
B. Eastham, a magistrate. Thirty-seven of the
showmen were arrested and others flew to the
mountains, subsequently four or five of them were
committed for trial, and the rest discharged.
Bread Wanted. —The Savannah Republican
of 44th inst., says: The acting Mayor informs
us that he has sent orders to Macon, Augusta
and Charleston for daily supplies of Bread, of
which it is almost impossible to obtain a loaf
just now. in consequence of the death and sick
ness of Bakeis. We have been compelled to eat
crackers ourselves, for the last four days. On
and alter to-morrow, therefore, destitute persons
and others in need of Bread, may obtain it by
sending to the Central Depot.
Arrival of Physicians. —lt affords us pleas
ure (says the Savannah Republican) to refer the
reader to the cards of Dr. Bacon and Dr, Brant
ly, who have come to the assistance of their pro
fessional brethren here. This is true heroism
and is above all praise.
; Sad —We regret to state, that a man killed
■ himself in Savannah on the 13th inst., by cut
ting his throat during the delirium which usual
ly precedes death in cases of yellow fev§r.
' State Aid.— Dr. Screven, acting Mayor of
Savannah has received a tender from Governor
Johnson of S a*e aid in behalf of the needy and
distressed of that city, which oiTer will be held
' , in reserve and made available' only in case it
may be required. We are, hoivever, (says the
j Georgian) happy to be able to say, from the
prompt response, in every direction, at the sound
of woe in our midst, we are not likely to want
tor money. Good nurses -sre in demand, and
more precious than silver or gold.
The Light Boat Sapr,—We are glad tc
learn (says the Georgian) that the light boat be
longing to Martin’s Industry, blown from her
mooring in the hurricane of Friday last, is not
lost, as was supposed. The two men on board
are aiso saved, she was passed by the Weiaka
yesterJay in Rumiey marsh, in tow of the steam
er Planter.
j The Mobile Register, of the 10th inst., says:
‘‘ By reference to the Sexton’s Report, it will be
seen that the number of deaths for the week
ending the 9th. are twenty-eight, five of which
are from yellow lever. This is a slight increase
in the bills of mortality, but we are not at all
surprised considering the oppressive heat with
> ' vhid !7 e ha / ve been visited Three were
brought to the city in a dying state, and all but
one were Hospital patients.
The reader will perceive that for the last two
aays there have been no deaths from this disease
consequently no increase is expected. None of
the cases mentioned, the Sexton informs us were
citizens. The Evening News says: ‘We are
assured by one of our physicians, that no case of
yellow fever exists in our city at present, so
tnere is still no cause for alarm.’ u
Cholera abated at Mad lS on™.e.— The
Loudon Free Press, of the 12th inst., says: “We |

Extract of a letter, dated
Elberton, Sept. 12th, 1554.
We have had fine rains of late, which appears
to be general. It will help Cotton a little, but
mostly Potatoes and Turnips. The Corn crops
in this county may be said to be sufficient for the
country’s use. Some farmers have not made suffi
cient—others a little over, and to spare. Cotton
will be shorter than last year.
I will now give you a bit of romance, which
.came off in Lexington, Oglethorpe county, last
week.
A young man arriving there a few w eeks ago, j
registered his name at the Hotel as John Kirk- 1
land. After a few days, he made known to some
ot the citizens, that he was from Madison coun
ty, in this State, and had recently come into the
possession ot a large estate in said county ; but
had come to Oglethorpe to purchase a plantation, j
He soon became the lion ot the day, and wisited ;
m good society. After looking at seveia! plan- I
tatioas, he purchased one for $9,000, for which
papers were diawn, and a horse thrown into the i
bargain, valued at $l5O. He then purchased
a store-house for $5,000, and was to puichase the
stock at a certain time—elertdng it awhile, to
get accustomed to business and the customers of
the store—he then went into debt (credit good)
with the unsuspecting and good people of Lex
ington, purchased a fine gold watch lor $175, a
fine suit of clothes, &c., &c , swapped horses,
made a bad trade in this, borrowed a fine buggyr
gallanted the young ladies about town ; then, as
he wished to make a visit to Elberton for a dayi
to get a sister, who was going to school to a Mr.
Carter, and return the next day, he was allowed
to make his exit, and has gone dean off. I con
versed with a gentleman, who had seen h.ui the
day he left Lexgington, and offered to trade him
the horse and buggy. I also learn that his real
name is William McMullen, and that he has re
latives in this county; also, a wife, who, after
being married to him a short time, has been sepa
rated for the past three years, he being sent to
the Penitentiary, to serve a term of three years'
.and which time had just expired. His wife, and
her connections are of a respectable portion of
this community, and is now suing for a divorce.
Such being the facts, what think you of our Pen
itentiary system ? Is it not a commentary on
its operations, as well as the case, that the good
people ol Georgia can be r.uped.

Answers to the Inquiry on Limestone and
Shell—The Why and Wherefore.
(continuai ion.)
15. Does all seed require magnesia as a con
stituent ?
lies. Magnesia is always found in lime from 1
to 40 per cent., and the proportion found in grain
is equal to the lime. This proportion is not only
got from the lime, but magnesia is found as a
base in many rocks and stones, and by their de
composition by the action oi the air and water
it is furnished to the feeders of the plant, partic
ularly to wheat, rye, bariy,r <•«, beans and peas.
18. Is there any other advantage in using mag
nesia-lime over pure lime?
Yes. It is a double salt as carbonate of lime
and magnesia; its actions in regard to affinity and
galvanic action are triple in the soil, to a single
salt of lime; the humate lime requires2soo parts
of water to render it soluble as focal for plants,
whilst the humate of magnesia requires only ICO
| parts of water for its solubility, so that the hu-
I mate of lime is rendered more soluble by its be-
I ing in contact with the humate of magnesia in
solution. From our practical result, we prefer
the application of 50 bushels of magnesia lime
sto 100 bushels of pure lime, either as a top dress
; ing on the sod or ploughed iu on clay soil.
17. What is the difference in ploughing in or
j top dressing oi lime ?
; In top dressing on sod, it is rendered more
i readily soluble, by combining with the carbonic
j acid brought down in the rain and that brought
i up by evaporation from the soil forming a bicar
bonate of lime and magnesia ; and if it is a clay
1 soil, or subsoil, the magnesia being a base, an !
I the alumina of the clay acting as an acid, a cht-m
--; ieal combination takes place, forming alumina* 3
: of magnesia.
Alumina has a greater affinity for magnesia
than any ot the other earths or oxides in addi
' tion.
Magnesia, in solution, will neutralize the fer
-1 rie acid in the soil. The fernu,acid is a deadly
| poison to ail plants, by corroding the feeders.—
| 1 he advantage ot magnesia lirne over pure lime
• has been proved by the application of miilionsof
bushels used in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and
in England and Scotland,
j 18. Will it act on sandy soil ?
j Yes. Particulaily where manure has been tarn
| ed under, in the escape of the Carbonic acid gas,
! produced by fermentation of the manure forming
' the bi carbonate of lime and magnesia. In fil
■ j tering, it causes cohesion with the particles or
the sand, renders it firmer and more retentive of
: j water, gas and manure.
j 19. What is the effect ol Hydraulic lime on
1 soil ?
The 'ime known as Hydraulic, is composed of
lime, sand, clay (or Alutnia) and iron. This
! lime is very valuable to white »sandy soil; ifc
| forms a soil .that will withstand the drought from
I the affinity of lime and clay for moisture; but
i there must not be an excess used, as it will form
I an insoluble subsuit; from 25 to 50 bushels per
! acre, depending oh the quality of the soil; if it
j be a very sandy soil, 50 bushels; if it is a loamy
| soil, then 25 bushels, top dressed, and not
! ploughed under—it is injurious to stiff clay soil.
20. Does lime or magnesia lime contain Phos
| phoric acid ?
Yes. In nearly all limestone or shell from | to
| 1 per cent., and Potash is found in the blue or
! black limestone.
21. W hat rocks or stones contain lime *
Shell, Limerock, Soapstone, Basalt, or Trap,
! Gneis, Chlorites, Epidote.
