The Night.
bv barry Cornwall.
Oh, the summer night,
Has a smiie of light,
And sho sits on a sapphire throne.
Whilst the sweet winds load her
With garlands ot odor,
From the bud of the rose o’erblown !
But the autumn night
Has a piercing sight,
And a step both strong and free ;
And a voice lor wonder,
Like the wrath of thunder,
When he shouts to the stormy sea,
And the winter night
Is all cold and white,
And she singeth a song of pain,
T 11 the wild bee hummeth,
And warm spring cometb,
When she dies in a dream of rain !
0 the night, the night!
’Xis a lovely sight,
Whatever the clime or time,
For sorrow then soareth,
Aud the lover outpoureth,
His soul in a star-bright rhyme.
It bringeth sleep *
To the forest deep,
The forest bird to its nest;
To care, bright hours.
And dreams of flowers,
And that balm to the weary—rest!
[From the N. O. Picayune , 12 ih inst . ]
Later from Mexico.
By the arrival of the steam ship Orizaba, Capt.
Forbes, which arrived this morning from Vera
Cruz, we have intelligence Irorn that place to
the >ith inst., and from the city of Mexico to the
I jjlldth inst.
IL The Orizaba reports that the bark Braziilero,
New York, while lying off the port of
Vera Cruz, got on the Gailega Reel, on the night
E el the Ist inst., when the Vessel became a total
loss. Most of the cargo is but in a dam
aged condition.
The Orizaba left at Sacrificio Island the Bri
tishbrig-of-war Wolverine.
We have full files of the Vera Cruz Eco del
Comercio, and otxMexico papers to the 3d.
We gather from them little intelligence ol re
liable importance, although there are numerous
accounts of triumphs of the Government efforts.
Among them isoneofa complete victory gain
ed over the rebels o! Ciudad Victoria, in Tamau
lipas, on the 22d ult. They were attacked, it is
said, by a detach mennt of troops under the com
mand of Col. Don Francisco Tamariz, on the
l&tb, and were cot overcome till alter three
days and a night’s unceasing tiring, maintained
on the part of the city by 800 men and seven
pieces of artillery under the command of the
cbiel Don Juan Jose de la Garza. The latter
had surrounded the fortifications with trenches,
which were taken and maintained by the troops
of the Supreme Government, in whose power
Bthe artillery of the enemy, their munitions ai d
some prisoners fell.
The leaders of the revolution were not cap
tured, but made their escape by fleeing in time,
as is*nearly always the case; for it generally
happens that those who lead ethers into these
w—" difficulties have not the courage necessary to
faei the danger themselves, to its results. The
frlosses of the rebels are said to have been consid
er erabie, and as the despatch announcing the event
r was being seat off, the cavalry were being de
spatched in pursuit of the fugitives. The'Gov
ernment troops are admitted to have some losses
to lament, the more to be regretted, that it was
no foreign attack which caused them. The
population ot the vicinity, it is said, promptly
tth returned to obedience to the Supreme Govern
ment; and all the influential inhabitants ot Ta
maulipas are said to have repelled the approach
es ot Garza with contempt and reproacnes
About 50 men killed, and one chief, 4 officers.
100 and odd sold ins wounded, are estimated as
the losses sustained by the Government troops.
Via Guerrero and Michoacan. toe partisans ol
aAIWIrt-'/ are reported to have received som- se
vere blows. At a place called Cuajmicuila, about
eighteen leagues distaut from Huitzuco, where
. the insurgents weie said to have been found in
'fipensiderabie force, they wereaitacked by a de
tachment ot auxiliaiy Government troops, and
completely routed, their celebrated lf<d>-r, Nar
cis* Valle, being killed during the action. Ihe
chiet, Luis G. Gaitan.the famous Guillermo Mal
donado, and Frocopio Alarcon, were taken pris
oners and shot, their bodies being exposed in
Cuajitiicwla, f kusingo and San Bablo. The ja
ded Condition of their horses prevented the troops
lrom pursuing those who fled, and they made
goodktheir escape into the neighboring moun
tains. An encounter is reported to have taken
place in the town ot Tinquidin, in Michoaean,
in the vicinity of Los Reyes, between the forces’
cl Don Francisco Sanchez and a band ot the
rebels under the command of the notorious chief
Puebiita, which, although it was composed of
three hundred men, while the Government lorces
g, were much inferior in number, was routed, with j
~^~a‘iConsideruble loss in killed, wounded and pris- 1
"jiffers, besides letting some arms fall into the [><>;- 1
Session of the troops. The darkness of the night I
Bperved not a little, it is said, to favor the escape !
I' of tbe greater part of the insurgents.
Tbe result of the affair at Gmymas seems to
W be no more certainly ascertained than it was in
- our last accounts from Mexico. We have, in- j
deed, full particulars of the manner in which the ■
Bapproach ot Raousset de Boulbon was made, of i
the manner in which his band was routed, and
of the taking of a number of prisoners; but we
have no positive accounts of. the execution of the 1
leader. The accounts of the manner in which
the Count's attack was made, though much more
circumstautial than those already received, are
only to the same effect. We theiefore do not at
present tualber notice them. A company of IS7
of his French companions, taken prisoners, are
said to have arrived at Tepio on the 15th ult,
and to have been received in silence by the pop
jSulation, who went a mile out from the town to
m-et them. They are said to have consisted
principally of women.
The Indians in Durango and adjacent regions
gre committing terrible ravages, and the neces
sities of the Government in other portions of the
country to the presence of their troops against
more powerful assailants, prevent anything like
important efforts against them ; although the in
habitants, with what little aid they can get,
struggle strongly against the merciless marau
ders. W

Highly Important from the Rio Grande.
By the arrival of the steamship Nautilus from
Brazos Santiaga, we have received'the following
letter from our attentive correspondent at Mata
moros, giving important intelligence respecting
the progress ot the revolution in Northern Mex
ico, the movements of the Government and in
surgent forces, &c.
Correspondence of the Picayune.
Matamoros, Sept. 4, 1854.
In my last I stated that Victoria was invested
by the Government troops, and that some hard
fighting was expected. These expectations
have been fully realized. Capistran, after his
affair with Gen. Cruz, pushed rapiuly on to join
Gov. Garza in Victor a, but before reaching that
city he was met by orders to remain outside, as
the supplies were very short, and it would be
impolitic to shut themselves up without them.
In the meantime 1,400 regular troops, with a
large train of artillery, had invested the place
and commenced operations. Assault after as
sault was made, but the inhabitants defended
themselves bravely, and each time beat back
their assailants, until finally, having completely
exhausted their ammunition, they resolved to
evacuate the city. This they did at night, with
out molestation tiom the troops, and soon formed
a junction with Capistran. The loss of the
troops is reported to have been very great—near
ly 400 in killed and wounded. Several officers
are knpwn to have fallen. It is reported that
the insnrgents are in full mirch for Monterey,
where the people are to join them. There are
large supplies of ammunition in that city and no
troops to defend it, and should the insurgents take
possession of it, they can maintain themselves
against all the force that can be brought against
them.
News reached here yesterday that they had
surprised and captured a party of twenty-five
dragoons, who were escorting some Government
funds from Tampico to this city. They took
away their arms, ammunition and money, and
then set them tree. (Jen. Cruz is again out with
300 men, in pursuit of the insurgents, but he will
i>e careful how be attacks them the second time.
The Mexican steamers, which I mentioned in
my last as just having arrived at the Boco del
Rio, landed 470 rnen ot the Ist Regiment of In
fantry. The report here is that there are more
troops on the way, and when all shall have ar
rived, that Matamoros will have a garrison ot 2,-
000 men. There are many doubts as to the
truth of this report, as it is believed that Santa
Anna cannot spare that number for this service.
Tamaulipas is now thoroughly aroused, and
should she be seconded by some of the more pow
erful interior S.ates, Santa Anna would be inevi
tably overthrown. But there is such supineness,
such want of energy and co-operation amongst
this people, it will be almost a miracle if they
succeed. So long as Santa Anna can retain the
support of his army, so long can he remain Dic
tator of Mexico, tor with 30,000 men he can
keep this country, with her 7,000,000 of inhabi
tants, in subjection.
A lew days since, Gen. Woll cut off all com
munication with the opposite side ot the river,
which caused some little excitement in Browns
ville, but after a tew hours ol non-intercourse and
much swearing on the part of the Americans,
the prohibition was removed, and the ferry boats
re-commenced operations.
The Mexican authorities appear to be disposed
to throw every obstacle in the way of a free in
tercourse with their sister city, and in fact have
already very seriously injured the trade and
prospects ol Brownsville. No one can cross
without a passport, and the cost and trouble o!
obtaining one, are such that no one thinks of
crossing unless absolutely obliged to.** To add to
tbe pleasure which Americans generally experi
ence in going to Mexico, a full blooded oegro, a
lieutenant in the Mexican army, has been placed
in command of the guard at the Mexican ex
tremity of the feiry, between this city and
Brownsville. These are srnali things, of which
Americans, I presume, cannot complain, bu: they
show that the Mexicans'do not love the “ bar
barians ot the North” more now tha* they did
some seven years ago.
A tew days more will, no doubt, bring news’
of important movements, of which I will inform
you by the next mail. Quien Sabe.
The Brownsville Flag mentions a report,
which it believes to be well founded, that the
city of San Luis Potosi has raised the standard
of rebellion against the existing Government.
In noting the latest rumors, tue Flag says;
In .vi atamoros, the system ol espionage is so
complete that the citizens hardly dare give or re
peat the information they may have received,
and the correspondence thorugh the anil under
goes a supervision before it is allowed to reach
its ownei. With this scrutiny on the part of
the officials, it is next to impossible to glean any
reliable information.
Ot the movements ot the revolutionists in the
adjoining State no:hing is known positively.—
I Tbe last that we have heard reliable from them,
| they were united in the tow® of Jimenes. and
: were preparing tor a movement upon some point,
j though what one it was not definitely stated. It
! is thought that Matamoros will be the point of
j attack, and recent circumstances certainly tend
to that belief. This morning rumers are afloat
to the effect that Col. Cruz had despatched cou
riers to Gen. Woll asking that troops be sent
from Matamoros to intercept.the insurgents, who
are endeavoring to escape across the river at va
rious points, both above and below the city.
This is believed to be a cunningly devised plan
to draw the troops out of the city preparatory to
a general attack by the Liberals, who are believ
ed to oe in ciose vicinity to it. Os all these va
rious conjectures and rumors, however, we will
I not venture an opinion.
From the Columbus Times.
Crops in Tennessee—Mules, Horses, and Ne
groes—Health.
Montvale Springs, Sept. 9th, 1804.
Messrs. Editors:—Presuming that many of
your readers are interested in the markets ol the
grain growing, hog, horse, and mule producing
| State of Tennessee, I venture to drop you a line
;on the subject. The drouth has been very gen
eral and has embraced the whole State, with
slight exceptions. The corn crop is, consequent
ly, decidedly shoit; the wheat crop only mid
dling; irish potatoe crop sorry ; tne only crop
that is good, is the oat. Young tock, the farm
ers are anxious to sell, but fine no buyers.
Mules and horses lit for harness are nevertheless
high and are in very little demand. In many
parts of the country, corn is so scarce that farm
ers will noJ have enough to fatten their mules
and horses, and have enough to fatten their hogs,
in consequence of which more mules and horses
will be driven South this season than last- and
it is the general opinion that they are bound to
go down in price lam so settled in this opin
ion that I have not yet bought a single hoof.
Singular as it may seem, negroes are higtier in
the grain growing than in the cotton producing
States; indeed traders are now engaged in buy
ing negroes in the cotton States and selling them
| for a profit in the grain States.
It is, therefore, more than probable that the
j negro trade will be checked for a while in the
more Southern States. And this check will
have a very material effect upon the mule trade.
For every two negroes carried South from the
more Northern slave holding States, there is a
demand for one mule or horse. You, therefore,
see plainly that if the negro trade is checked,
that there will be a much less demand for mules
at the South, and as the farmers here are forced
to sell their surplus stock on account of the scar
city of corn, I apprehend that stock can be
bought at the So.uth by the middle of January
cheaper by retail than they are now sold at
wholesale in either Kentucky, Tennessee, or
Ohio.
There has been much sickness in the rich val
leys of Kentucky and Tennessee this summer.
The prevailing diseases are cholera and liux.—
The larger portion of the inhabitants of Aladi
sonviiie and Knoxville, Term., have fled to the
mountains to escape the destroyer. Montvale
is remarkably healthy. Large numbers ot visi
tors come here sick and are restored directly.—
Ine water is a specific lor such as are affected
with diseased liver.
Very Respectfully,
Yours, &c.,
M. A. Browder.
The Weather. —Until within a few days
has continued very warm. During the past
week the thermometer in our office has stood as
high as 98 at 3 o’clock P. M. However we
have had several refreshing rains and the atmos
phere has become somqwhat cooler and more
bracing. We sincerely hoped that the long con
tinued heat will now begin to moderate.— Swwi

The Commercial affairs of the Country.
—The state of money market in this city is a
matter that interests more people, probably than
any other one thing this side of Atlantic.—
Whether money will be scarce or plenty, wheth
er the price of provisions will be high or low,
seems to be a question that every oue thinks of,
and one, too, that no one can answer. After look
ing over and examining carefully the subject in
all its bearings, we arrive at the conclusion that
those who have debts to pay and pecuniary ob
ligations to fulfil, will see harder times the com
ing winter than tfiey have ever seen yet. We
do not think that bread stuffs and provisions will
be as high as they were last year nor that work
ing people who have employment will find it as
difficult to make the ‘‘ends of the week meet”
as they did two winters ago.
Our reasons for so thinking are first—there
will be no foreign demand lour our pork, beef or
flour, nor will California require anything in the
shape of provision from us. In Europe, the
crops were never better than they have been
th s year, and the yield in California of wheat,
Indian corn and potatoes will enable that State
to export breadstulfs. Os our manufactured
goods, she has also an abundant supply, and will
theretore want nothing irom us lor which she
will give us, as she has been doing, millions
monthly of her golden treasure. This fact alone
will make money scarce in the Atla'ntic cities.
Bui this is not all. We have been running in
debt to Europe lor more than two years for dry
goods, laces, silks, satins, jewelry and other lux
uries and gew-gaws, far beyond our means of
payment. *
As we are dependent on California for gold,
and have nothing that California wants, to give
her for that gold, and as Europe wants, nothing
of us but gold, it seems to us that we are going
to be ir. pretty tight quarters, and shall most pro°
bably be obliged to ask a little extension of our
debts.
The drought has not so entirely cut off our
crops but that we shall have enough to eat; but
how are we going to pay our debts? That is the
most troublesome question. Neither those we
owe nor those from whom we have been getting
specie want our produce, and what is to bedoue?
Why, those we owe must take our railroad b nds
and wait until those from whom we gee out spe
cie do want our produce.
It was a great mistake we made when we got
over head and ears in debt to Europe. We ought
not to have done it. We ought not to have built
so many large and expensive stores, nor such
magnificent and costly dwellings as we have
done. It was all wrong. We have gone ahead
too fast. We live too high—our wives and daugh
ters dress too e*tra> agantly, thr, outvie tb*
princes' and duc'a Ws ol Europe, and go ahead
of the trios 1 arn,so< ratic ladies of England and
j France. We mu t come back to the starting
point, to the very mark we stood on five years
ago. When we get there, we shall be all right
again. The retrogade movement has begun, and
it is useless to whine and wince about it. Back
we must go. But this kind ol “ Jordan am a haid

The Good Old Times in Virginia.— Under
this head *J. A. Y. ,; a correspondent of the
New York Spirit ol the Times, tells two or three
very good stories, one of which ii the following:
In those days lived old Ned Carey. Every
one who lived here then recollects old Ned—a
frolicking old free darkey, who never let a mus
ter, a cock lighting or a race pass without being
on hand, if possible. Joined to old Ned’s inordi
nate love of such snorts was what is now a-davs
termed by the business part of mankind a great
deal ot ’cuteness, hut what was in fact some
thing les3 creditable.
On a certain day a great muster was to come
off at some tavern in the county of Henrico, and
of course a cock light or two. A*t the appoin’ed
time many peisons, and among them Mr.
M., a gentleman of the real old stripe, who had
made a tew ten dollar bets on the cock, and lost
every one. He was commenting on his bad
luck, when Old Ned was seen approaching with
a large bag thrown over his shoulder.
“ Hallo, Ned, what have you there V }
“ Fust rate cock, Massa M.”
“ Game, Ned ? ,J
“Oh, yes, game a- a panter, Massa M.”
“ Out with him, Ned ; out with him.”
And Ned drew forth a large speckled cock,
which, to judge by h s size, was a perfect bruiser.
“ What’s the price, Ned ?” '
“ Five dollars, Mass, an cheap at dat; an’ if
any cock on dis ground kill dis cock, I gin you
back de money!”
The bargain was accordingly struek, and the
match made tor a tight right away. M bet about
the amount he had already lost, and the cocks
were put in the ring.
At the first touch of the steel Old Ned’s cock
gave a most awful squall, and took a strong wing
for the woods. M was furious, while the crowd
laughed—fairly screamed—with the enjoyment
ot the iun. Old Ned was accordingly hauled
I up, with the application ol some pretty hard epi- 1
! thets. |
‘"Didn’t I tell you, Massa M.,” says Ned, “if
| any co k here kill dat cock I give you back de
I live dollars. But dey catch him fus, an’ I neber
see any cock outrun ole Skewball in my life.
Ya! ya !”
M. wanted to be very angry, but it was no go;
his anger was choked down by the uprorarious
laughter of the crowd that met him on every
side, and he was forced to enjoy it as a capital
joke. Oid Ned continued to frequent the race
course till his death.
Who is proscribed?— Were Lafayette, and i
Mercer, and Montgomery, and St. Glair, anil !
Steuben, and Pulaski, and DeKalb, and Koscius- |
ko living at the present time, and were the pro
scriptive tenets of the new secret political or- 1
ganization that has recently sprunk into exist- !
ence to be enforced, they, or either of them, i
could hold no office in the United States. No j
matter how freely they poured out their blood
to achieve American independence, they would 1
be proscribed; and if there be children ol any
of these worthy residentsjof this country, they,
too, fall under the ban. They can hold no office,
tor they are children ol foreigners !
Liberty ot conscience, at the declaration of in
dependence and the formation of the constitu- i
tion, was a dear American right; and it was
conceded in the same fulness to aliens as to citi
zens. This right, above any other thing, has
conduced to our present greatness as a nation. j
It is to be abridged, if native-Americanism can
have its way. Prosciiption, as dreadful as it ex
ists in some of the most absolute monarchies of
Europe, is to be set us in the place of liberty of
conscience.
Fifteen of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence were foreigners. The last survi
vor of the band was a Catholic. There are, if
we believe what we sen and hear better men
than they at the present day !
These examples show the wickedness of
“ know-rlOthingism. / ' , Let every man beware
that the infamy of the order never attaches to
him.— Detroit Fret Preet
AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, SEPT. 17.
* Yellow Fever.
We publish below the official report of the
Board of Health. Our citizens yesterday ap
peared to have got over the panic, in a measuie-
The disease seems to have taken a new turn in
our city. So far the Board have reported four
deaths, three originating in this city, of which
two were blacks, one a girl 15, the other a child
5 years old.
Meeting of the Board of Health.
Council Chamber. Augusta,)
i? riday, Sept. 16, 5 o’clock P. M. J
The Board of Health re;>orts three deaths
from Yellow Fever during the last twenty-four
hours, one of which contracted the disease in
Charleston.
William a Mulatto boy, 4 years of age.
John Bresmahan, Ireland, aged 17 years, con
tracted the disease in Charleston.
Mrs. Clara M. Bunch.
The board report the disease is a mild form
and yielding readily to medical treatment.
L. L. Antony,
Sec’y. Board Health.
Is it not Strange?
In Charleston, last week, there were 116
deaths, of which seventy-six were by Yellow
Fevei. Os the 76, two were blacks, one an adult,
the other a child.
In Savannah, last week, there were 210 deaths
—l3l by Yellow Fever— two of these blacks, one
an adult, the other a child.
In Augusta, ia 1839, when the Yellow Fever
raged, there were 243 deaths by that disease, of
which number but thirty■ seven were blacks.
In August®, in 1554, with the most healthy
August and September months experienced for
many years, with a population largely increased
by sickness in Savannah and Charleston, and
with citizens ol both places, coming among us
with the yellow lever on them, who were nurs
ed by our citizens, foreign and native, until they
recovered, without any of them taking the dis
ease, the first death reported, said to have ori
ginated in the city, was a negro girl.
We repeat it, is it not stange, that with a
large foreign population, of a PTass mostly sub
ject to that disease where it is epidemic, the first
death of Yellow Fever reported should be a ne
gro ?
Lty Mayor Ward, of Savannah is still impro
ving. We understand he was setting up yester
day.
I he Cotton Trade. —The New York Price
Current publishes the official statement of the
cotton crop lor 1853-’54. The total amounts io
2,927,608 bales, or 335,274 less than the one
preceding. The export to Great Britain has
been 1,003,55 Q bales, being a decrease of 133,310
as compared with last year. To France 374,-
058 bales; decrease, 52,676. To North of Eu
rope, 165,172 bales ; decrease, 6,004. Toother
ioreign ports, 176,168 , decrease, 17,469. Total
exports, 2,319,148 bales ; decrease as compared
with last year, 200,252 bales. The quantity ta
ken for consumption in the United States is
606.769 bales, or 64,210 less than last year. The
amount on hand in the ports of the United
States, including Augusta arid Hamburg as well
as Boston, &c., is 133,866 bales, against 135,643
bales last year. '1 he stock on hand in the usual
shipping ports is 116,727 bales, against last year,
107,340.
Shippers ami speculators during the past sea
son have been heavy lowers, from the adverse in
fluences bearing upon the.artiele in foreign mar
ke f s, aided in a measure by the heavy cost of
transportation. Planters, on the eontrajy, have
every reason to be satisfied with the result of
the years business, since at no time during the
! season has Middling in the Southern markets
been sold below 7J cents per lb., and during four
fifths of it the price ha? varied from S to 9 cents
' per lb.
The prices for the ensuing year will depend
chiefly on the probable extent of the growing
crop, but the war and its attendant circumstan
| ces will have a powerful influence in Europe in
checking the operations in cotton legitimate
purposes. To this fact it is stated merchants
seem fully alive, and there appears to be a deter
mination to avoid cotton as an article of specu
lation until the future gives better promise of
good results than can be at this moment discov
ered.
Dr Stephen N. Harris.
The Republican of the 16th inst., in announ
cing the death of the above gentleman, says:—
“ We have with much sorrow' to record another
fatal case in the ranks of our devoted .Medical
faculty. 'I he shaft of the relentless destroyer,
has been successfully sped, and has reached the
heart of one of the noblest men of the age.
Wildman, Schley, Welles, Ellis, were victims
enough, and we hoped §not to be forced to add
another to the catalogue. But another shining
light has been extinguished in the person of Dr
Stephen N. Harris, who departed this life at 2
o’clock, yeeterday morning. Oh ! that the life
of this good and gifted man could ha re been
spared to this stricken deeply afflicted commu
nity, to his bereaved and respected family, and
uumerous friends. His decease has caused a sen
sation of sorrow in our midst, the extent of which
pen can not describe. He has fallen a victim
j to the most devoted attention to the sick ar.d
| the distressed. The writer has seen him 'worn
j snatching brief repose in bis buggy
| whilst in his daily rounds of practice. Alas 3 he
i hqw sleeps the long sleep of eternal repose. He
j had 3 presentiment of dying by the epidemic^,
| but undaunted by the picture, he continued to
pay the most unremitting attention to his pa~
! tients until it forced him to his bed of death.—
His last prescription was for the gallant and ever
I to be regretted Wildman.
j Dr. Harris was a native of Liberty
Georgia, and had been in successful practice for
, several years in this city. No man of his age
has ever had a larger or more lucrative practice
j in Savannah, enjoyed more of the confidence of
; the people in his medical skill, or commanded
to a greater extent the esteem of his Medical
Brethren.
Death of Dr. Ellis.
We notice with deep regret (says the Savan
nah News of 16th inst.) the death of our lamen
■ ted friend, Dr. Thamas M. Ellis, who died at the
residence of Dr. Arnold, on'Monday, the 12th
instant, aged 24 yeans.
Alas! Death Las claimed a noble victim!
Surely if aught could have softened that rentless
heart—his mar.y virtues—his steady adherence
to the cause of duty an-d humanity—bis untiring
devotion to the wants of the poor a,nd needy,
should have caused him immunity from his un
timely fate. In the duties of his profession, ar
duous as they were, he never paused, oven for a«
moment, when the cry of ihe sufferer reached
his pitying ear. Ah! why could he not have
been spared to us; whose kind and loviing dispo
sition endeared him to every heart, whifle his tal
ents, which were of a rare and high oi der, pro
mised fair, in a few years, to rank him as one of
the heads ofT;he profession. While re deeply
deplore his loss, we bow in resignation to the
divine will. O, Lord ! tby will be done. *
A Good Move. —An association has been !
formed in Columbus for the purpose of sending
chickens, butter, eggs and vegetables daily to the
indigeni sick of Savannah.
Price of Coal. —The Boston Courier says
that the price of coal in that city was last year j
$6 per ton, whereas it is now $9 ; and it de
nounces what it calls trade combinations as
heartless conspiracies. Some of the New York
papers say that coal is now advertised for sale in
that city at a lower figure than for iome time
past.
A correspondent of the New York Horal i writes
from Caracas, that such is the state of affairs there
there was not a respectable white man in the city
of Caracas who was not in prison, or concealed in
tho houses of the foreign residents. The Areh
bishop has had several interviews with Monagan
and has offered to guarantee the innocence of many I
of the accused—or, more properly speaking, the
incarcerated. A number of the prisoners were
marched on foot to Laguayra. The probability is
that taey will l£ shot on the road. They are of
the most respectable families of the city. There
is but little doubt that Monagan will put down all
opposition, as ho has tho support of the blacks.
Monagan went through tho form of a re-election on
the ItOh of August.
Weather, Crops, See.
The Bienville (La ) Times, of the Ist instant
says there was no rain at that place during the
week, the weather was very warm, and there
was no sickness thereabouts.
The Shreveport Democrat, of the 31st ult., re
ports that the crops then promised a larger yield
to the planters than was anticipated a week or
two previously. The weather during the week
had been hot, sultry and oppressive, but there
was no sickness in town or country.
The Jackson Mississippian has reliable ac
counts from North Mississippi, as late as the 30th
ult, which state that there has been an almost
entire failure of the cotton crop.
The Harrisonburg (La.) Independent, of the
6th ir.st., reports copious showers, cool nights
and a healthy town. That paper says:
The planters are as busy as bees in gathering
their ciops. The rot and rust are becoming quite
injurious to the cotton. We still hold to the
opinion that we expressed in the early part of
the season, that hardiy halt a crop would be made
this year. The most distressing accounts reach
us daily about the present crop.
We learn from the Franklin Planters Banner,
of Thursday last, that the crop in that vi
cinity is looking well. The Banner says:
The daily mains which have prevailed for the
last five or six weeks will have the effect, it is
thought, of rendering it more juicy. Intelligent
planters, with whom we have conversed, are of
opinion, that if the season continues favorable
the crop will compare favorably with that of last
year.
Mrs. Elizabeth Benton, wife of Col. Ben
ton, who died at Washington on Sunday eve
ning, was 60 years of age. For several years she
has been prostrated, having been deprived of ut
terance, and of all her energies, but she bore her
sufferings, it is stated, with unexampled foiti
t'ude and Christian resignation. A writer in the
Intelligencer says:
The ruling feeling in Mrs. Benton’s heart, and
strongest to the last, was her devotion to her
husband. Os late she has sat constantly by his
side waen at his labors at home, and indeed their
lives may be said to have been inseparable, for
shs has made her home wherever his business
called hi n. She was reconciled to part with him
on his late return to Missouri, because she was
too weak to accompany him,and knew that his
duty required his presence at home. When she
felt the approach ot the crisis which terminated
her life, she led her daughter to the vacant chair
! in which her husband worked, and, by look and
! gestureg, made it apparent that she required his
I recall. It was too late. She walked to the bed
j in the next apartment,from which she was never
j able to rise again.

Sad Accident.
Ia Monroe, Walton county, on the 11th inst.,
Miss Okra Jackson, daughter of Jesse H. ar.d
| Mary Arnold, aged live years, was playing about
the house as usual, and hearing her mother say,
i that her brother was preparing to return to Col
: lege, fiorn which he had obtained leave of ab
| sence for a short time, (to attend a Camp Meet
i ing near Monroe.) she sought his room to tell
him farewell, and after bidding him adieu, she
| skiped off as gay and merrily as ever. On de
scending the stairsteps, from some cause, she feli
j and fro n the injury received, expired in a few
moments.
How impressihJe the fact, that in the midst of
iife we aie in the midst of death. A few short
| moments ago, this lovely little girl was lively
j and happy. But now, her voice is hushed—her
1 merry kiughter hath ceased. No more will her
I silvery tones, in accents sott and sweet as some
| distant iEolian, brought by the gentle zephyrs,
| fall upon the ear of her parents. But beautiful is
j the thought, consoling to the minds of her rela
tives is the reflection, that though their little i
daughter and sister sleeps in the cold, damp !
| grave, her spirit is mingling its song with those
■ of the celestial choir around the throne of God.

Mrs. Wilson and Her Brothers.
Fort Washita, Chickasaw District, C. N.,)
Monday Aug, 14, 1854. j
Mr. Editor: It may be gratifying to Mrs. I
Wilson late captive among Comanches, who |
made her escape to Santa Fe last Winter, an ac- '
j count of which was given at that time in your j
j paper, to know that her two brothers in-law i
lads who were captured at Fort Arbuckle and |
one near heie ever since their release, passed '
here on their way to their former home in Huut 1
County, Texas—from where they started over !
the piaires to California. The boys were in I
charge of Aaron Brown, intelligent Chickasaw,
who obtained the released of one by purchase |
from Camanches, last Winter, when trading '
among them. The other boy was brought into !
Fort Arbuckle by some friendly tribe and has
been well taken care of there by the officers of
that post.
| The interest manifested by Brown in the
welfare of the captives, in their release, and de
livering them i« safety at their homes, by him
self, is worthy of all praise, and gives evidence
of the fraternal feeling existing between the
educated and intelligent red men and whites.
It is trusted that Brown will be remurnerated ■
by the General Government and Texas, for his
exertions and time. The hoys are about 8 and
12 years old.
Very respectfully,

The War in Europe is increasing the German
emigration very largely, the people of that coun
try choosing' rather to find (reaceful homes in
American wilderness, than to run the chance of
getting their brains dashed out for the glory of
some imperial i natter or pretty prince no better
than themselves- For the eight months com
mencing with January and ending with August,
the returns show a total of arrivals at New
York, of Irish, 54,547 , German 116,400, mak
ing, with natives of other countries, a grand to
tal of 209.414. Many of these German Emi
grants are men of capital, who enrich the State
in which they settle with their savings as well
as with their labor.

disease is still raging, but not so extensively to-day
Tar has been burnt in various parts of tho town
; as a preventive, in hope of purifying the atmos-
J phere.
The distross’and suffering are beyond description
being principally for the want of nurses and atten
dants. The dead cannot be buried as fast as re
quired. Nearly every person has left the place.
I It is estimated that out of a population of 5,000 only
I fifteen hundred remain.
| As no appropriate place had been provided for
the poor who are taken with the cholera, the May ur
and Councils of Lancaster waited upon the County
I Commissioners yesterday, and at their request, they
! agreed to provide a hospital at the expense of tho
| county, at Columbia. The Town Hall has been
| taken for tho purpose, and it is already filled with
■ patients.
