Visit of the U. S. Steamer Susquehanna to Nanking and Wu-hu, China f !‘?J7 d eWt°the Rev.E. G. Bittinger, ot the U. b. steamer Susquehanna, Cant. Buchan* an or a copy of the “ North China Herald” published at Shanghai, where the Susquehanna arrived on the 4th of June, from a visit up the Ysng-tsze-kiang, a river scarcely surpassed by our own Mississippi. The object of this trip was to convey the Hon. RobertM. McLane,the American Minister, to Nanking and Wu-hu, in order to have a personal interview with the au thorities of those places. —lt may be remembered that in the spring of last year, the Susquehanna, with Col. Marshall on board, started on a similar expedition, and although Capt. Buchanan was told by all who professed to know anything of the navigation of the river that it would be fu tile to attempt it, in so large a vessel, he was still willing to make the effort, and started, but the ship grounded on Blonde Shoal, soon after enter ing the river. This detention compelled him to forego t he tiip, as the Susquehanna was required on tne Japan expedition. In May last, on the return of the Susquehanna to Shanghai from Ja pan, tbe United States government placed her at the disposal of Mr. McLane, when Capt. Bu chanan (who, like Mr. McLane, is a MaryLnd er) g.adly embraced the opportunity ot making D : another effort to ascenu tne river, and succeeded i ol ail on board. The Herald has a w % detaneu account ot the tup, from which we con | dense the following: The Susquehanna left her anchorage at Moon -4 sung on the 22d of May, and was soon enveloped i in fog. crossed Bionde Shoal, where she previous- Ily grounded, and anchored for the nigh*.

Capt.

A more perfect builesque on a military organization can scarcely be imagined than the troops within the works presented. A motley crowd of men and half-grown boys had possession of all the water batteiies that com mand the river at this most important point. There seemed to be no one who could be digni fied with the name of an officer. The greatest possible kindness and good leeling was however exhibited by the crowd, and the visitors were -jb addressed as “ our brothers,” which was the de signation given them by the rebel party, on . . *vciy occasion where any communication was held with them. uciu »» lid tlinii. Oa reaching the residence ot Woo, the officer *“ command at Chin-kiang-fu, Lieut. Duer amt B| -Mr. Carr were conducted into his official chain* hers, and were received with some ceremony, WT -Mi «ud an apparent show ot state. An avenue I was formed by the guards, through which they m |f framed, and on reaching the General, he was ob p Served seated on a platform, lie pointed to a % subordinate [dace for them to be seated ; tney ad vanced, however, and took their places on eitb- Wmm erside ot him, ot the same elevation; of the k nombers who crovvded into the room, many I were observed to make their obeisance by kneel ing, which appears to be very general as an act of reverence towaids ihose in authority. The General stated that the shot had been ||PPd becaii't they found it necesrary to stop ali ascending the river, but now that the : aEfe friendly charac er of the ship was ascertained, IBgfch jahroiier instructions would be given to the olfi utthe batteries to prevent a recurrence SHEwHKit. Mr. Carr was instructed by the minister to WBgf f state that cit'zens ol the United States, residing . •I in China, under the guarantees of a solemn tWsBL * treat), were much exposed, both in their per- sons and property, by the civil strife now ex tending it -elt over the Empire, and that it was the determination ol the minister to exact Irom both parties a proper respect to our neutral * rights. The General’s excuse for firing at the Sus | quehanna not being deemed satialactory. Cap tain Buchanan, after consultation with Mr. Mc- Lane, sent a letter demanding of Gen. Noo an immediate apology lor the insult that had been offered to the American flag, and stating that unless it was f ull and ample, he would erteetual ly prevent a similar occurrence, from that battery at least. He also enclosed him a drawing of the flag, that it might not again be forgotten.— Lieut. Duer, accompanied by Mr. E. A. Le Roy, of the Legation, was directed to deliver the letter —betore it was receivedj however, a com munication was sent on boaid, containing a veiy satisfactory apology. Sucsequentiy the general visited the ship and was wonderfully amazed at all he saw, particularly her battery. On the Susquehanna approaching Nauking, on all the low flat land outside of the north-east wall of the city, crowds were assembled, and as it was from this poin t that the ‘Hermes” and “Cassini' 7 {two British vessels) were fired at, the men were beat to quarters, and every prepa ration made to give them a broadside, if any hos tile demonstration had been made; none was, however, and the “Susquehanna” slowiy and gracefully moved up to her anchorage just off the corner of the wall above ryentioned; the day was beautiful, and the thousands and thou sands who gazed at her as she approached were evidently much impressed with her fine appear ance. Lieut. Duer and Mr. Carr, with the Rev. Dr. j Bridgman, were again sent on shore with a let- ; ter fiom Capt. Buchanan, to the highest officer commanding at Nanking, announcing the arrival of a United States ship ot war, with the Ameri can Minister on board ; the letter was delivered to an officer, who stated that he would forward it at once to Vang, the Eastern King, whose re sidence was inside the city walls, distant some eight or nine miles. An answer was received; by Capt. Buchanan, the tone and style ot which was very extraordinary. Mr. MoLane subse quently had some coirespondents with the au — 4 Sf thorities,the character of which is not known it is shrewdly surmised, however, that the cor respondence developes views of policy both po- ! litlca! and religious, quite as remarkable as any previous accounts bad of this singular movement, which, from its very origin, to this hour, seems, utterly to baffle the comprehens on ol mankind, Another account says the matter intimated, \ amongst other things, that an interview might be granted to the United States Commissioners by falpsug-wang, on condition that he would approach him according to their own ceremo- j * nial. He mu;t prostrate himself in his presence and acknowledge him King of the World under j God our heavenly Father. That he would ex pect to receive tribute from me outside State the j {Jammissioner represented in the shape of gold silver, and prec’ous sorrgs, as none durst ever come before h»m without valuable presents. — This remarkable document came lrom two high ! officers of state. In substance Mr. McLane’s ■ reply to this was that tee touid nolpottiMy recog %ize the rebelious subjectt of an Emperor with whom our Government was on terms of peace and imily. &nA had formed a commercial treaty, even as equals; and we must, therefore, leave them without further intercourse. During the two or three days the ship remain ed at Nanking, she was crowded with thousands of visitors, from Princes and Generals, (whose number is legion) down to coolies, ail of whom appeared filled with amazement at her immense size and elegance—many of the officers visited the city, and some of their adventures were odd enough. The ship left Nanking on Wednesday the 31st, to make an examination higher up the river.— On the visit of tbe Hermes, she went up some tenor twelve|mlles, With this exception the Sus quehanna is the first square- rigged vessel that ever disturbed the waters of this noble river, so far from its mouth. - The spectacle that was presented on that beautiful morning was calculated to produce an impression not easily forgotten. Here was seen a magnificient steam-frigate, one of the largest vessel in the world, bearing the Ameri can flag, while the rnyraids of human beings who crowded the banks on the river looked on with awe and wonder, as she boldly steamed on through the quiet waters in the very heart of a vast empire. The varied scenery on either bank of the ri vpr, above Nankin, is not equalled ia the world. It becomes very broad —in some places miles and is interspersed with innumerable islands, some of which are extremely beautiful; the val leys and even the highest hills, to their very summits, seemed teeming with a vegetation, whose opulence fortunately yields sufficiency of food to supply the millions who inhabit this re gion. The Susquehanna proceeded on us far as Wu hu, in the province of Gnanhwuy, one ol the largest market towns on the river, about 65 miles above Nanking. Here the ship and her engines were gazed at with even greater astonishment than below—she had scarcely dropped anchor before innumerable boats, filled with thousands’ approached from the shore As these crowds came on board, their wonder was also too great for utterance—at one time, the number was so great as almost to jeopard ze their lives in getting up and down the gangways; however nothing could exceed their good humor or correct behav ior. The city of Wu-hu and vicinity was visited by most of the officers, and the greatest kindness was shown them by the people and the authori ties;s;uides accompanied them through the streets. They were here as elsewhere always called brothers. The same scene ol desolation was also observed here as at Cbin-kiang-fu and Nanking. The city is enclosed by a wall, and is said to con tain a population of half a million. Its trade, however, is at present entirely interrupted by tbe revolution. There are lew objects particu larly worthy ol note, except the superb bay that stretches out for a distance of several miles just in front of the town. The great bend of the river at this point makes the view singularly grand. The city has been in the possession of the rebels since March, 1853. Although no por tion of their army is lefttheie, (the force consis ting entirely of armed junks, many of which are employed in carrying provisions up and down the river) from the best information obtained, the rebels have entire possession of the river for a great distance. Some of the chiefs visited the ship and their appearance and general intelligence made a very favorable impression, as indeed was the case with the mass of the people at Wu-hu. Their com plexions are lighter and physiognomy much bet ter than the ordinary Chinese nearer the coast; some attention to personal cleanliness was also observed among them. The visit of their foreign brothers in the wonderful ship gave them much apparent pleasure, and some of the higher officers expressed a hope that trade and commerce might he carried on in such steamers as far as the nav igation extends, which is believed to be many hundred miles. A very superior quality of semi-bituminons coal was found at Chin-kiang-tu, as also at Nan king and Wu-hu, and mountains, not for from the latter place, are said to contain coal in great abundance, mineral wealth will be fully develop ed as an auxiliary to the steam navigation of the river. To accomplish this, quiet and a restora tion of order is needed in China. On the morning ol the 2nd of June, the Sus quehanna got under way on her leturn. She reached Silver Island a distance of 120 miles in in nine hours. As he passed the batteiies along the river, all hands were at the guns in readi ness to repel any hostile indication; nothing of the kind was observed, however. Crowds of men were seen on the works, as she passed, look ing at her wonderful speed, with much concern Mr. McLane, again had interview with the Im perial Admiral, who came on board and remain ed several hours; salutes were fired from his squadron as the Susquehanna passed by. She reached Shanghai, as before stated, on the 4th of June. The steamer Confucius, uiider the command of Lieutenant Brown of the U. S. ship Susquehan hanna. with Captain Dearborn acting as pilot, accompanied the Susqehanna as a tender. The Herald has been shown a copy of a card of one ot the Ministers of State which the Rev. Mr. Bittinger received in his tour through the city of Nanking to the Tartar city and the Por celian Tower. In the presence ot his highness the officials who conducted him to his residence as well as his own attendants, stood in awe and then kneeled down betore him. It bears the broad seal of his office, and is dated the 23d day of the 4th moon ot the 4thfyear of the heavenly kingdom. The Herald also publishes an interesting ac count of an excursion made by Mr. Le Roy, in company with Lieut. Hunter and Purser Barry, to the Porceiian Tower and the interior ot the city of Nanking. During the excursion they walked about 20 miles. Almost all the houses on their way were in ruins, but the people treat ed them very politely. They were compelled to reach the tower by walking along the walls on the outside, the gates of the city being closed against them. At one time they met a detach ment of several hundred women employed in carrying rice, and accompanied by a few “ grey haired old men. 77 Finally the excursionists were permitted to ascend a watch tower, 70 feet high, from which they had a fine view of the city°— They wer : then five miles from the Porcelain Tower, which was built in 1413, though now comparatively in ruins. Subsequently they were permitted to enter one of the gates of the city, passing by the tower, and were led by some soldiers to one of their generals. Afterwaids they travelled three miles through the city, which was well paved and the houses in good condition. During the trip, Daniel McKinley, the chief boatswain died, and was buried at a spot to which the name of “McKinley’s Point” was given. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribane.] A Month Later from Japan—The Squadron before Jedo. U. S. Steamer Powhatan, ) Off Cape King, (Island of Niphon,) May 14. J I arn obliged, from want ol time, to give you hut a briet report of our doings for the past month. After the diplomatic negotiations in j Voko-hamma were concluded, the suivey of the bay was vigorox sly carried on, and in spite ol rough and stormy weather, made good progress. On the 6th of April the Saratoga fired her salute ol departure, and sailed, amid hearty cheers from ; the remaining vessels of the squadron, j Before the fleet went down to Simoda, (one ol the ports designated in the treaty as open to American ships), the Commodore desired to have a view ot Jedo, which desire met with great op position on the part ol the Japanese, wtfO were struck with horror at the prospect of our tire wheel ships anchoring under the walls of the Imperial Palace. As the Commodore remained firm in his purpose, some of them delared that the dropping of the anchor under the wails of the former, would be the signal for their own disembowelmeut. We were ali not a little excited, when on the morning ot the Bth of April, the ships got under way. Yenske, the chief interpreter, with some other Japanese, were on boaid the flag ship. 1 hey looked haggard and alarmed as we steamed up the bay. Yenske, especially, was petrified alarm, and trrquently said, “Do you really intend to remain in “V>do ? Oh, no; Commodore Per ry has a good heart; he certainly will not do so. e stood across the bay, and then, at a distance ot three miles from shore, made directly up toward the imperial city. About 10 o’clock we had the light-house of Kowasacki abeam, on the Jeit hand, while before us, in a long semi circular line, stretched the white houses ol Yedo. At the light-house commenced the suburb of Sinegawa ; further toward the city were many large junks at anchor; behind them a great many smaller craft, while ciowds of fishing boats and junks of all sizes covered the bay. A rnound, or eminence, towered above the houses of the city, near its centre, and fiom the turrets and shining white fronts of buildings covering it, we judged this to be the Imperial Palace. By this time the sailing vessels were far astern, and only the Powhatan and Mississipi lay before the town. Commodore Perry halted for about half an hour, and then returned to the old Americn anchorage, to the infinite relief of the Japanese officers, who speedily recovered their good spirits. I cannot deny that we felt somewhat disappointed, although we felt con vinced the Commodore had pursued the wisest course. At the time, no important result could have been obtained by anchoring at Yedo; it was a matter of curiosity, not worth gratifying at the price of several lives—for I really think the Japanese officers tools enough to kill them selves—and would have created ill-feeling towads us. So the Commodore has kept bis word—gone in sight of Yedo, and without driving the Ja panese to desperate measures. I cannot but ex press my admiration of the masterly manner in which Commodore Perry has managed this diffi cult business lrom the beginning. He has suc ceeded in combining dignity and firmness so hap pily with kindness and cordiality, that he has« made our squadron and our country respeetqih without humiliating the national pride of 4&e Japanese. • / On the 16th of Aprii we hove anchor, and stood down the bay toward Simoda, our Skirt in Niphon. Simoda is situated near Cap/ Fogu, sixty miles west from Point Sagami, oi|the en trance of the Bay of Yedo, and not far fjrom the point where we first made land in canning to Yedo last year. It is a good, commodioii harbor, well sheltered by hills several hundred %t high. It has only a moderately large entranceTtoward the south, with a rock within the erijrance, which affords a still more protected aneforage. The little town ofSimoda, of about 1,000 houses, is situated at the north-western end of the har bor, on the banks of a small stream which flows down through a fertile valley, often not more than half a mile wide, and again widening to li miles Several little brooks osier good watering places for the ships. The larger Japanese junks mostly anchor at Kowasacki, a village of about 300 houses, on the north-eastern end and opposite Simoda. There are eight temples—some of which are very large—in the town, and little chapels (fnia) on almost every eminence and by the road sides. In the location of their buildings ior religious purposes the Japanese show a fine appreciation of the picturesque, and, in general, they seem to be great lovers of nature. On eminences whence fine views are to be seen, spaces under the trees are cleared, and here the fellows sit, smoke, or pic-nic for hours. I cannot §ay much concerning customs and manners of the Japanese, partly because it would L»e a repetition of what others have said before me, partly because 1 have not the time and space necessary ; enough, that we have had ample op portunity of verifying most of what former writers have said of this strange people. The country is exceedingly picturesque, and resembles very much the lower ranges of the Alps. Along the little liver ol Simoda are many villages, and numbers ol rice mills stamp and grid along its banks. About six miles lrom the bay this river divides into several branches. Following either of them, you pass through nu merous gorges and glens, and finally the barren tops of mountains, some 3.000 feet high. Their summits and the narrow table lands are covered with bushy grass, among which a certain berry upon which pheasants partridges feed, grows very plentifully. This is a line ground for sports men, who might soon bag a dozen of those plump, golden green birds. In one ot the larger temples, a place has beer, arranged for the daguerrotype, and Mr. Brown is actively at work. He has obtained many, very line daguerrotypes ot the Japanese, anil will have a fine collection to show when he reaches home. Mr. Heine continues his sketching, drawing, painting, gunning, skinning, pressing, and preserving plants Lieuts. Murry, Bent, Whiting, Bamboo, Nicholson, etc., etc., have been busily engaged in the survey, and deserve no small credit lor their exertions and the impor tant results they have obtained. Mr. Bent is now Flag Lieutenant. The Commodore expects the Imperial Commissioner in Simoda lor a final settlement of coinage, weights, postage regula tions, etc., etc.; to which end our coins, measures and weighits have been sent to Yedo. This will take place when we return from Chakodade, which port in future will be probably a great resort lor our whalers to recruit and obtain sup plies, as Simoda will unoubledly be our coal de pot, and the station ot the future Californian- Chinese line. Y esterday at daylight the Mississippi and Pow hatan got under way for Chakodade, for which place the Macedonia, Vandaliaand Southampton sailed eight days ago. A bout noon we were within three miles of the island of Ohosima, and had a fine opportunity of observing the traces of volcanic action which it presents. The whole island is one immense volcano, the top of which has lallen in and lortned a great basin, which incessantly belches forth white smoke and ashes. The edges of the crater are black, as it charred by lire, and on the south-western side of the island a stream of lava reaches from the summit to the sea. Some large crevices continue still smoking, and others are tilled with ashes. A bluff near the sea, about 200 feet high, appears to be of re cent formation, for the bu?hes and trees along the edges of lava have a yellow, burut appear ance. The slopes of mountain are covered with luxuriant vegetation, and there are two towns—> one on a narrow table-land, and the other on the top of a steep cliff, near a sus icious-looking crater. There is said to be a third village on the north-western side of the island. We are now off Cape King (so named by Vancouver after bis first lieutenant) and Cape Blance. We are lying to, taking long lines of soundings with the deap-sea lead, which gives a most satisfactory result I will write again by the first opportunity—from Chakodade, if pos sible. [From the N. Q. Pic , 13 th inst. Later from Texas. By the arrival this morning of the steamship Preservance, from Galveston, we have papers of that city to the 10th inst., end Lavaca papers to the 7th. We find nothing in the Galveston Times res pecting the fever, beyond the report ot inter ments, but that is significant enough. On the Bth tbe.e were fourteen interments, and on the 9th fifteen. The Times learns that the rains on some por tions of the Brazos have been incessant recent ly, and that many of the cotton crops on that river and Oyster Creek are greatly injured by the worm. A rencounter took place at Lavaca on the morning of the sth, between Mr. George P. Finlay, editor of the Register, and Mr. Henry Jordan, a commission merchant of Lavaca which resulted in the death of the latter by being shot with a double barrel shot gun and a revolver in hands of Mr. Finlay. The Commercial says: The difficulty occurred in a personal article that appeared in the Register against the mer cantile establishment of Charles H. Jordan.— The parties met on the street near the Brower House. Jordan was armed at the time, but the from some cruse, did not use his weapons. On the afternoon ot the same day, Mr. Van zales, who keeps a boarding house in L ivaca, was stabbed with a large bowie knife by Mr. A, W. O’Connell, a tailor of that place. The Commercial says: From what we learn, O’Connell was board ing at the house of Vanziles, and on yesterday, while at dinner, and at a time when Mr. Y. was absent, he insulted several of the ladies about the bouse, and threatened to throw a glass in Mrs. Vanzile’s face. Mr. V. being informed of the fact went to call O’Connell to an account for the same, when thqaffair terminated as above stated. Effects of the late Storm. The Charleston Courier has been politely fur nished with the subjoined extract of a letter from a planter, dated “Trewin’s Island, Peince Williams Parish, Sept, 13, 1854.—Having several letters to wxite to-night, I am verry sorry that I cannot give you a detailed account of the late disastrous gale, or rather Hurricane. I can only say that our crops of Cotton seem almost entirely destroyed. I can hardly suppose, from present appearances, that the destruction can amount to less than two thirds. This appears to be the condition of my own, and, from all the intelligence that has reach ed me, I should judge that ail other crops in this section of the country are injured to a like ex tent. A more terrible storm I have never wit nessed. A common expression here is that the i Cotton crops ‘are gone to the devil. 7 “I was of opinion at one time that my crop , was good for between sixty and seventy bales. I lu fact, a finer prospect I have never had, but if f j make twenty I shall be more fortunate than pre- I sent indications warrant me in believing I shall be. My summer dwelling house at Twin’s Point was undermined by the influx of the tide, and fell to the ground, the water being between three and four feet deep in my yard. My fami ly all escaped from my house, previous to i*s settling down in a boat. My furniture, books, in fact, everything in the lower story of my house was much injured. I have for two days past been collecting portions of my furniture, books, &c., carried by the tide across the river in to my neighbors’ woods and cotton fieids.” ALKTIISTArGAT TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 19.

The Savannah Georgian of the 17th inst.,says. —We tiust that we are not mistaken in announ cing, as the conclusion to which our inquiries have brought us, that there is an abeyance in the progressof disease in our midst. Should the weather, which has been exceedingly warm for the most part, since the storm, grow colder, the change to which we have alluded will probably immediately become palpable. We regret to say that there is stil> a good deal of suffering for lack of physicians and nurses. Yet every effort is being made to relieve it. Thanks, (ten thou sand thanks!) to the liberality of our friends abroad, we have now the means of alleviating, to a great extent, the wants of the poor and des titute. >. Among the deaths of yesterday, we are sorry to announce that of Judge W. Harris, of the firm of Harris & Brown. Mr- Harris was we believe a native of Hancock County, for many yearß lived in Macon, and for the last two or three has resided in this city. He leaves many friends. His partner, Mr. Brown, is also ill with the epi demic. Since the foregoing was written we have had a copious shower, the effect of which we hope will be favorable. Tkxas Items.—A correspondent of the N. O. Picayune, writing from Gonzales, Texas, on the 23d ult., says:— * The crops of cotton and corn in this county are large. I never saw such fine crops as there are on the Guadalupe river. The planters here have been picking cotton since the Ist of July. “ The Know-Nothings have been organized in our town, Belmont. The tree will be known trom its fruits. We are ahead of other counties out west. We have voted over tw’o to one against the licensing of grog-shops, and the whole State has voted largely against the traf fic.”’ A new and convenient life-buoy, in the form of a moveable seat, for ships and other vessels* has recently been invented by a sroung5 r oung Ameri can by the name of Thompson, now in London It has been tried in the presence of the Queen' ! and also of the Surveyor of the British Navy’ j where it met with marked approval. Its merits j are so apparent that the Messrs. Cunard have j ordered a number for some of their ships. Decli-ne in Breadstuffs. —ln consequence of the news from Europe of good crops of bread stuffs there, and a consequent decline in flour and wheat, there was a slight panic in flour at Boston on Wednesday, and prices went down | from seventy-five cents to pne dollar per barrel, i The receipts of flour at Boston, the Traveller I says, have lately been raeher large. The cholera at Columbia, Pa., has produced such a panic that the country people around the I devastated town refuse to hold any intercourse w ith the citizens, and much suffering from the want of wholesome food had been the result.— The Town Hall has been converted into a tem porary hospitai for the victims of the disease. Hr. Jeweil estimates that if Philadelphia was ravaged in a degree corresponding with her pop ulation, as compared with Columbia, the deaths would have reached seventy-five an hour ? The same gentleman is of opinion that the exciting cause of the epidemic is in the atmosphere, and not in the water, as the victims have been taken indiscriminately from among those who use the water from the reservoir, and those who drink nothing but spring water. The Susquehanna, at Columbia, is now extremely low, and the at mosphere of the town is vitiated by the quantity 6f decomposed animal matter in its bed, or lodged above the dam. Illness of Mr. Alexander. —Lest reports which have gone abroad should occasion unne cessarily alarm to Mr. Alexanders friends, we would state that he was attacked with the pre vailing fever early Thursday morning last, but that his case yielded readily to medical treat ment. He had but one paroxysm of the fever’ since which he has been hourly improving, and his physician assures us that we may expect him at his post again in a few days.— Sav. Rep., IS th Inst. Extract from.a letter received at the Savan nah Republican office dated Bryan Co., Sept. 13. “ I am glad to say that since I wrote you last a thorough inspection of my crop leads me to hope that I am better off than most if not all of my neighbors. I learn that on the Ogechee Ri ver the storm was most destructive to rice crops and one of my neighbors, who planted for 150 bales Sea Island Cotton, told me he thought he fnight now make 20 bales.” Extract from a business letter received at the same office, dated Walthourvillk, Sept. 13. “i'he hurricane of the Bth was very severe at this place. A graat many plantation buildings have been destroyed and some cattle and horses killed, but no human lives lost.

In IS53j as shewn by statistics furnished the United States Treasnry Department, it had grown to 4,407,011. In 1807, the tonnage of the United States was 1,212,596. In 1854 the tonnage of the port of New York alone is greater than this amount by over 20.000 tons. The growth shows the rapid increase of the commerce and trade of the United States.

Truly “ Death loves a shining mark,” and in lowering his raven wing upon our devoted Sa vannah seems to have dropt a plume with which to record his triumphs over her brightest and most useful citizens. Pained at the task, dis heartened at the sailing and direful duty, again are vve called upon to record another and a seri es loss—that of Jonathan Olmstead, late Cash ier of the Marine Bank, who expired at his resi dence at 4 o’clock Friday alternoon. His disease was nervous debility,, (assuming somewhat the symptomsyellow fever a short time before his death.) consequent upon the sickness and death of hisonly daughter, whom he buried but one short week since. Mr. O. came to Savan nah in IS2O, and became an active and efficient servant in the promotion of its success. For many years has he filled the responsible position he occupied at the time of his death, with credit to himself and honor to the Institution—for in his labors were combined ability and assiduity to a degree never surpassed and seldom equalled. Other [daces of trust has he filled, but allusiort to one is a type of the rest. He leaves a widow, and a son now at the Georgia Military Institute at Marietta, to deplore his loss, besides a whole community to sympathise and share with them in their bereavement.— Savannah Republican, 18th inst.

From all we could see of Cass ville and its locality, we conclude she must pro gress, for, we really think the position she occu pies (two miles from the State Road.) must add greatiy to her literary advantages. We look for ward to the time when Cassville will occupy a high position as a seat oflearning in our Chero kee country. .

Arrival of the Key-Stone State. —The fine steam ship Key-Stone State, Capt.

We are gratified to learn that she brought over 3000 packages—the largest freight ever brought from Philadelphia to this port, and we cortgratulate her owners that their enterprise and energy has met with so auspicious a commencement. We perceive that she is ad vertised to leave again for Philadelphia at half past four o’clock to-morrow afternoon, which speaks well for the energy and promptness of Capt.

The following is the beautiful and touching letter, mentioned by us a few days since, in which his Excellency Gov. Johnson tendered aid from the State Treasury to our suffering citi zens : Executive Department, ) Milledgeville, Ga., Sept., 13, i 854. > Hon. John E. Ward, Mayor of Savannah : Dear Sir: —The calamity bv disease, storm and flood, which spreads such gloom and grief over the city of Savannah, wasting her energies, suspending her business, bearing to the grave hundreds of her citizens, and carrying anguish and woe to every heart and hearthstone, cannot tail to awaken the keenest solicitude in every benevolent bosom. Being the seaport of Geor gia, diffusing thrift and prosperity by her liberal enterprise, the State throughout her whole ex tent, will promptly iespond to the call for condo lence and sympathy which emanates so loudly from her stricken and suffering people. I have kept silent as long as 1 can ; and I feel that, as the Executive of a generous and warm-hearted people, I should be unworthy my high trust, if 1 withheld, for another hour, the expression of the painful emotions with which I contemplate the march of the pestilence. Receive, my dear sir, my unfeigned sympathy for the sufferings of the city of Savannah, and the assurances of my highest admiration for the heroism with which you maintain your post, in the face of danger and death. May God, in His mercy, preserve you, and fill to overflowing your cup of blessing ! In view of the destitution of the poor of your city, who may be unable to provide themselves with needed comforts and medical aid, consider ing the affliction of Savannah, under the circum stances, as an affliction to the State at large, and that it is but just and humane that all the peo ple should enjoy the luxury of extending relief, 1 venture to inquire of you the extent of your necessities, in order that I may make a suitable contribution in behalf of the State. It is i*t haps.not strictly within the province of the Ex ecutive ; but, so far from censuring, I am great ly deceived in the character of the people of Georgia, if they will not cordially approve such an application reasonable amount of public money. At all events, confiding in their mag nanimity and generosity, I shall not hesitate to tender to you, as Mayor of the city, such sum as your reply shall indicate to be reasonable and proper. 1 pray Heaven so rebuke the pestilence, re store the sick, and comfort the bereaved. Respectfully, your ob’t. sv’t, Herschel Y. Johnson. Murder most Foul.— We learn that a gen tleman trom Abbeville District, S. C., named Lanser, was brutally murdered on the Clinch Mountain, in Grainger cojrnty, Tenn., a few days ago, by four villains. It seems that Mr. Lanser was buying up horses, and was decoyed Irom Bean’s Station to an unfrequented part of the country, by the scoundrels, and there basely murdered lor his money. They had not, at the date ol our information, been arrested. An old woman, in some way connected with the tran saction, had been committed.— Ashville (N. C .) News. 14 th inst. Another — We learn that John Davis, Esq., a highly respectable citizen living on C ooked Creek in tbe adjoining county of McDowell, was assassinated on Sunday night the 3d instant. A man living near him has been arrested and lodged in Jail at Marion, circumstances seeming to fasten the crime upon him. Crime appears to be feartully on the increase in every part of the country.— lb. The Hog and Corn Crop. Extract of a letter from a packing house in Louisville, dated August 31, to their correrpon d»nt in Nashville: The opinion ot our best informed men in re gard to corn and hogs, now is, that prices of will run very high, as the rain has come too late and in some instances actually done harm by softening the grain. The regions of country where corn can be had are too remote from the important packing points, and even there it is selling at $2 to $2 60 per barrel, making a hog cost $3 gross it he should be given to you.„ You aie then eighty to one hundred and twenty-five miles from market, and the coin on the road for feeding would cost $1 per bushel. The pork must therefore, net $0 50 to $5 70 at the pack ing point to get back your money for your out lay. For example: 1 hog 150 pounds, at 1 cent per pound, $1 so 3 barrels corn, 15 bushels at $2 50 Cost ot driving, average 100 miles, is 70 cents; corn 20 to 30 cts. (now at 00 cents to sl.) tolly, 1 50—$10 50 1 hog, 280 lbs. gross would be at $3 75 delivered at the pen, 10 50 This year hogs will gross more than usual j and when driven 100 miles will net full 30 per I cent less thus: One hog weighing 2SO pounds | gross costing $3 75 will net 196 pounds, equal to $5 31. Nothing here is allowed for loss of hogs in driving, or dead hogs. This calculation will hold good tor ninetenths ol the hogs at this point and about the same result would be arrived at in Cincinnati. Now take a hog in Shelby, our large hog rais ing county, and we have One Hog, 150 lbs, at 1 1-lc. $2 2 5 l hree barrels Corn, at $3 9 00 Cost of delivering 00 ... sll 75 weighing gross 280 lbs. and netting 210 is equiv alent to $5 60; a dearer hog stiil than the 100 mi ! es oil, owing to difference in the value of the hog and the cost of the corn. The shortness ot the crop holds good all over the country: and provisions must go up and re main high. The Kentucky crop ot Tobacco will fill 2.) per cent short ot an average one, and the market with us is gradually advancing.
