[From the N. O. Picayune , Sept. 27 ] Gale on the Texas Coast. Great Lou of Life !—lmmense Destruction of Pro perty / Matagorda Destroyed ! —JLufui Ship wreck, Src., SfC. We are greatly indeb'ed to Mr. Poole, the obli gling purser of the steam ship Louisiana, which arrived this morning from Galveston, for the an nexed graphic account of the late tremendous gale on the coast of Texas, and the lamentable destruction of life and property caused thereby. The gale appears to have spent its fury on the ill-fated coast of our sister State. But we' have no time for comment now. Here is the purser’s statement: The coast of Texas was visited by a most dis astrous gale, commencing on Sunday, the 18th and lasting until Thursday night, the 21st insti It would be almost a matter of impossibility to imagine even a greater destruction of life and property by such an occurrence. In the Lavaca and Matagorda Bays there was much suffering and loss. At Lavaca not much damage was sustained, other than the schooner Pacific going through one of wharves, with little injury, however, to At Indianola, the schooners Atlas and Fanny Motte, owned by H. E. Bcehner, where both ~ driven through the wharves ot Messrs. A. From ||j me and Wm. M. Yarnelis, and subsequently went on the beach, where they noiv lie. The Motte will be a total loss; the Atlas, probably will be gotton off. Both of them had full cargoes ot as sort-d merchandize from the steam ship Charles Morgan, which were saved in a damaged condi tion, and were being sold for account ot those . concerned. Sloop Louisia, with freight from the Charles Morgan, was also a total wreck and car go partly saved on the beach. A few buildings were taken off the blocks, but none mateiully ISaluria and Dekro’s Point did not escape, but were even greater sufferers than on the bay above them. Many houses in both places were entire ly washed away, s >rrie unroofed, and others taken off the blocks, there not being a single bou*e tr at escaped serious damage, and quite a number be ing razed to the ground. he new wharf (trie of the finest structures of the kind in the State) owned by Judge Hawrs, was totally demolished, jiot a post , remains to show where it s'ood,except a few standing near the phore. . ’ Dekro’s wharf and warehouses are entirely gone; not a vestige of them is to be seen. The schooners Alida anti S. Belden, which had arrived on Sunday Irom Mobile, and were lying at anchor opposite Dekro’s,dragged into the reef, were capsized and totally lost with both entire crews. The schooner Mustang, just arrived irom New York, dragged her anchors, ami barely es caped the fate o! the otheis. She lost both masts, which probably saved her. The U. S. s’eatnei Fashion towed her up under Sand Point on Sun day, the 2-lth, where she would discharge hei cargo. ” The U. S. schooner Fairy, belonging to the Light-House Department, was heacued and is a p-Jota! loss—ciew saved. The schooner Etuma Deßassey, owned in Pensacola, is supposed to jp have drilled to sea, and as she was a good vessel, * strong hopes are entertained lor her saiety. The machinery,&■: ,ol the light-house of Pass Cavallo sustained some material injury, but the light is still shown as usual. The wharf and buildings at Powderhorn were not injured in the least. Nothing on the wharl was lost, not even a piece of timber staited irom it, which is truly remai kable, considering that •# 'death and devastation luied in the entire neigh borhood. It l'he Lavaca mud machine, used lor the pur pose of trying to make a channel lor a year pist, lies sunk and is probably a total loss. The gale visited Matagorda with almost un paralleled fury, destroying nearly ail the buildings in the place—those of Co!. Williams. Mrs. Sart well, and one or two small ones being all that escaped prostration or unroofing. The stocks of goods of the merchants have been mostly I ruined, with one exception—Messrs Sheppard A Burkhart, wbosß store only was unrooied, but goods materially damaged. Four lives were lost in the town; Mrs. Duffey, M s! Mernmari. and ■ negro woman and child. Tdc steamboat Kate Ward was entirely wrecked near the town—Capt. Ward, his brother and nine of the crew perishing. But three only escaped by clinging to one ot the wheels, and were taken off on the 22d. Schoontr Tom Paine, Captain F. Hulsemann, owned in Maftagorda, was totally lost, with the captain and crew. A vessel from Sabine, with lumber, lost on the peninsula; crew saved. The new’ steamer Colorado, built at Matagorda nearly finished, iies high and dry in the prairie, 300 yarns from the bayou. Crops of Cane and Cotton are blown •nd neatly ruined. In fact, it is said, not a bale of Cotton is left in the country. | Quite a number of small crafts are reported lost with all their crew’s. Trespallacious, and the houses on the peninsula opposite were all swept away, except Col. r Lewis’s aud two others not recollected. Several 'll p lives are reported to have been lost, among which \ were two children of Captain J no. Rugely, an old and much esteemed planter, who were killed by the house being blown down upon them. An eye-witness to the devastation of Mata gorda, says that he never could have conceived of such a sight as he witnessed between four aud live o’clock on Monday morning . houses crash ing and breaking up, their materials Hying through the air, women and children screaming and running whither they knew not, seeking protection, aud when found, only to be driven forth again after a short lapse ot time to find a new one, and in many instances in nearly a denuted state. Corpus Christi, and other places westward, re main yet to be heard from, as also the country. Since the ga e the lollowing vessels have arrived at Indianola: schooner H. L. Scranton, 22d; 24th, U. S. steamer Fashion and brig Bingham, from Mobile. The Drought.—One of the Editors of the West Tennessee Whig bat jnst returned from a trip through Kentucky, Ohio, and a part of Indi ana, and speaks of the drought where he tra veled: “In the whole course of our lives, we have never witnessed such distress as has been occasioned throughthose States by the drought, la some places there has not been one drop of rain for three months or more. In some por tioas of Kentucky we noticed two-thirds of the forest trees dead—the whole top literally scorch ed and burnt up; scarcely a sprig of grass to be seen. Large streams that were never known to cease running during the summer before now, just as dry as a powder-horn. Welis and springs gone dry, that have heretofore, all sea sons, furnished abundant water, have given out. Speculators are buying up the corn all through the country, arid will evidently make somebody suffer. A gentleman in Nashville told us that hii had just paid $4.25 per barrel. We heaid of some sales as high as six d dlars per barrel.” The price of corn ha 9 already fallen in Nash ville from $5 to $2 75 a $3.50 per bbl., and we hope soon to hear similar news from other sec tions of the country. Health of Ksoxville —Since Friday morn ing last, when we issued an extra, which will be found on the outside of this day’s pap<-r, th-re have been only two deaths. We hear that there was a new case on Monday night. It TPill be seen from our article on the outside, these two are all the deaths that have occurred in the last six davs. We feel safe in saying m that the health of Knoxville is nearly restored R The late change in the weather has-operated favorably, and if our citizens will be careful in their diet, the disease will speedily disappear. Business of all kinds is being resumed and prcwecuted the same as before the cholera ap peared .—Knoxville Remitter, 21th ult. , • [From the N. Y. Herald ] New York Party Politics. The Anti-Slavery Disunion Whig; Coalition—lm portant Democratic Movement. For a day or two past our columns have been necessarily encumbered with the proceedings of the 11 outside” political conventions at Auburn. Since Monday morning we have had no less than five of them—the second edition of the Saratoga anti-Nebraska-no party concern, Gen. Bullard’s independent anti-Nebraska mass meet ing—the State convention of the free democracy, or tree soilers propel—She convention of the se eeders Irom the Saiatoga fusionists, and the State Temperance Convention. The Saratoga fusion ists accept the whig candidates, they having ac cepted the Saratoga resolutions; the free democ racy adopt Clark, but repudiate Raymond ; the Saratoga seceders do the same thing; Gen. Bul lard s affair was a fizzle. The temperance party accept the whig nominations. Thus it will be seen that the projet iyf the Saratoga coalition is substantially carried out in the concentration ot abolitionists and iree soilers generally, and whigs of aU complexions, from a dead white to a shining black, upon the Syracuse coalition ticket, and the Saratoga platform; for in addition to the anti-slavery resolutions passed at Syracuse, every man on the whig State ticket ratifies the resolutions adopted at Saratoga. Each of the whig nominees having rendered in his un qualified approval and adooiration of the Saratoga platform, it is fairly annexed to thatof the whigs ot Syracuse,and consequently the latter includes the policy laid dewn in the two following Sara toga resolutions, to wit: — Resolved , That the deliberate repudiation, by the slave power, on the very first opportunity, of the solemn compact forced upon our fathers by its representatives, whereby the Territories now known as Nebraska and Kansas were consecrated forever to freedom, has absolved us from all com pacts or agreements outside the federal constitu tion, with reference to slavery, and we now take our stand distinctly on the principle that all ter ritory of the United States must henceforth be free territory, and all States hereafter must come in as free States. {Nine cheers.) Resolved , That we heartily approve the course of the freemen of Connecticut, Vermont, lowa, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, post poning or disregarding their minor differences of opinion or preference, and acting together cor dially and trustingly in the sacred cause of free dom, of free labor arid free soil, and we commend their spirit to the freemen of this and other States, exhorting each to renounce his party, whenever that party proves unfaithfdfi to human freedom. Mr. Clark, the whig nominee for Governor, says:—“l fully and cordially approve ol and en dorse the resolutions” passed at Saratoga. Mr. Raymond, the whig Lieutenant, says of the pol icy and the principles of said resolutions: I approve of both to the fullest extent.” Mr. Fitz hugh, for Canal Commissioner,says:—“The sen timents, principles and policy embraced in those resolution have my unqualified assent and appro val ;” and, lastly, Mr. Norwood Bowne tor State Prison Inspector, says :—“ I can stand on no oth er platform than that which has for its object the overthrow of that institution that holds to be right to enslave any class of my fellow men.” Such is the ground occupied by every member of tbe whig Slate ticket seriatim, in their corres pondence vith William Cullen Bryant and his inend John Jay. Could better abolitionism be preached by Lloyd Garrison. George Thompson or Fredrick Douglas ? Was there ever a more decided out-and out red hot abolition disunion ticket presented to the suffrages of the people of New York, or to t ie seditious abolition arid wo men’s rights conventicles of Massachusetts? Ne ver. Bue why aie tnese, whig candidates of ours required to make a ciean hreastot it to Wm C. Biyantand Jo n Jay? Is not Bryaut the ; editor of the New York Evening Post, a leading soft shell democrat organ, and suppor er of Sey , mour for Governor ? He is Aud is not John Jay an ou!.-ide abolitionists? Just so. But these men are the corresponding committee ot the Saiatoga no-party anti-savery alliance; and thus it is that the whig State ticket has had to pass as it were lor a final appioval, through the crucible ot the Iree soil organ ot Tammany Hall. The whig nominees having done this, we knew of no other course which the Evening Post can consistently adopt, than tbe course in , dieated by the Saratoga fusionists themselves, whicn is the adoption ot the whig State ticket by acclamation. i At all events, the New York whig party, with its iree soil and abolition mercenaries, is now broadly before tbe people as the coalition anti slavery party. No more slave territory, no more slave States: and the merging of all other party considerations in the “sacred cause of human freedom,” is its platform. Disunion is, of course, tne ultimate object in view, aud the success of the Seward programme will biing us into the high road to disunion. There will be no escape from it with the triumph of the Seward coalition. Let a great overshadowing Nothern Holy Al liance for a combined crusade against Southern slavery be fully developed, and secession and disunion will be the only way of escape to the South. This mongrel Sewardized New York whig party with the aid ot the Temperance people, count upon sweeping the State, from stem to stern, owing to the supposed unpopularity of the Nebaraska bill, the division among the democrats and the bad odor .of the Administration. They count even upon the support ot the Know from the resolutions of Tammany Hall against them, and because their votes for Bronson, as matters stand, would be thrown away. But according to our special telegraphic advices which we publish this morning from Albany the executive committee of each of the democra tic lactions is to hold a meeting to-day in that city, with a view to a consolidation of their forces upon a union ticket. Ihe plan indicated by our correspondent appears to us to be to feasible, and easy ot arrangement. All that is required is to leave the administration and the spoils out of the question, and reorganize the party upon a new Union and constitutional platform, in direct hostility to the seditious abolition policy of the whig coalition, and lor the express object of forming a nucleus for a great national conserva tive party against the abolition conspirators of 1856. Let this be done, and the Seward coalition may be scatterd to the winds in November. It will require a lew days more, in view of this movement, to shape out the probabilties of the election. There is yet a chance that the “ sober second thought” of the democrats and the conser vative principles ol a constitutional union plat form, may save the State. The democrats must ultimately reorganize upon a broader basis than the spoils, or the Administration. Now is the accepted time. (From the Savannah Republican , 4th ins/.] September 1864. and September 1820. Our thanks are due Mr. A. F. Torlay, Keeper of Laurel Grove Cemetery, for his statement of the number of interments in that place of buri al, for the month of September just passed. The whole number has been 372—0 f which 317 were whites and 55 blacks—of yellow fever 239 whites, and 9 blacks. From the official Health report, the interments in the Cathedral Ceme tery, we find, were for the same time 278. The whole number of white interment® in the city for the month of September, 1820, were 232, 213 of which were from yellow fever; blacks and colored were not included in the list of interments, but it is presumed that at least 50 had died during that month, w’hicb would make the lull number of burials about 282. Taking 282 as the estimated number of deaths in that month—in a population of 2,500—it would show a ratio of about 1 in 9 ; or of whites alone (1,500) about 1 in 5. , Six hundred and fifty interments in our pre sent population, (11.896.) gives 1 in 18; or of whites, alone, 595 in a population of 6,313, shows about lin 11. Out of the 650 interments for the month only 55 were negroes. In making the comparison of the month of ! September, the most sickly month of tbe epi demic yea g 1820 and 1854. it will be seen that rembleas has neen the affliction of our present season, that ot 1820 was the most fatal of the two. On the 14th of October, 1820, Thomas U. P. Charlton, tbe then Mayor ot Savannah, advised the absentees not to return to the city until they : would be officially notified that the fever no longer existed ; and on the 4th November, he made the announcement on tbe authoiity of the j Heal h Committee that the city, excepting ca- i tarrhs, appeared to have recovered its health. The Health Committee, discontinued their daily reports on the 3d of November. The Republican ofiSaturday evening, 4th No vember of that year, contained the following paragraph: “On Monday next, we shall,commence pub- ! lishing the Republican every day. This would have teen done at an earlier the health of the city was so unpropitious as to pre clude the'possibility of such an undertaking. The distressing picture of desolation whi ch has been exhibited by the progress of pestilence is now no more amongst us to dishearten and dis tress. He who does not willingly afflici , has said to the destroying angel, “it is enough”—and has again restored health to our afflicted city. The busy “ hum of men” once more enlivens our streets, and we expect to see in a few weeks, our wharves lined with shipping, onr ware houses crowded with merchandize, and business resume its wonted activity. ,J The following is Mr. Today’s statement of the number of interments in Laurel Grove Cemetery, for the month of WHITES.

In the month of August, 1820, there were 110 interments of white persons.

[Transmitted for (he Baltimore American .] Arrival of the Amerioa at Boston—Particu lars of the Wreck of the City of Phila delphia. Boston, Sept. 30 The R.'M. steamship America, arrived at this port at half-past one o’clock this morning, and her mails were dis patched in the early train for New York, where where they will be due about 5 o’clock this af ternoon. The European papers contain little or no news j of interest additional to that telegraphed from j Halifax. In Naples there has been ten thousand deaths j by cholera since the disease first made its ap pearance. Tqe Newfoundland papersjcontain. 8 few de tails of the wreck of the steamship City of Phil adelphia. It appears the vessel stranded at j Chance Cove at eiven o’clock on Thursday night, the 14th inst., it being very dark and raining heavily at the time. She was backelqff and ran m shore, wflfere the passengers were safely lanaed. Tents were immediately pitched and 540 pas sengers remained on the spot till Saturday morn ing, when a part of them were conveyed to St. Johr.s in the steamer Victoria, and the remain der were conveyed by the same steamer on Monday. On Sunday a detachment of military was sent to protect the property and the wreck. The Post says that the engineer of the Victoria descended in a diving dress and found the wreck lying on a solid roes, the bow projecting clear, so that he passed under it. About 8 feet of the stern was turned, and there was a hole in the bottom of the vessel. It is doubtful if she can be got afloat again. Steamer. Wm. Gaston Burnt. —The Savan nah Republican offhe 4th inst. says: “About half-past 6 o’clock last evening, a heavy smoke was seen to issue from the hold of j this vessel, abaft the engine, and on examination a fire was discovered to have worked strong head ! way, immediately beneath the ladies’ cabin. j Every effort was made to extinguish the flame ; but with no success until scuttling her was re- I sorted to. About 8£ o’clock she-finally settled and the fire was overcome. The smoke issuing from the hold of the burning vessel increasing in density as the fire progressed, it was with diffi- ; culty that the firemen could pursue their efforts in keeping down the flame until the time of her sinking. The steamer was unemployed yesterday, and | no fires had been made in her furnaces. The only j fire used on board during the day was that in the caboose in the forward part of the boat for cook- i ing purposes by the crew; and as the fire discov- ! ered in the after part of the steamer is unaccount ed for, it may be presumed to have been the work of an incendiary. The Gaston was formerly employed in the Florida trade, but of late has been used as a tow boat on the Savannah river. We regret te state that our friend, Mr. Cun ningham of this city, owner of the steamer, will sustain a loss of SIO,OOO by this occurr&iee, as his vessel was not insured. Thf. New Bishop of New York.— The de \ liberations of the Episcopal Convention in this 1 city resuited yesterday in the selection of Dr. Horatio Potter, of Albany, to fill the place of Provisional Bishop of this diocese, vacated by the death of Bishop Wainwright. Dr. Potter j was the Professor of Mathematics and of Political Economy at Washington College, in Hartford, when that institution was established, under the prsidency of the Late Bishop Brownell, and he remained there until about fifteen years since, when he accepted n call to the rectorship of Sir. Petei’s Church, in Albany, which relation he has held ever since. He is a brother to the Alonzo Potter, the Pro visional Bishop of Pennsylvahia; and this fact suggests a singular and painful coincidence.— Both these provisional bishops, Who are broth ers, fulfil the duties for the discharge of which, two others brother?—Henry U. Ouderdonk and Benjamin T. Onderdonk—were chosen, raid both of whom have been suspended. Dr. Horatio Potter, who is henceforth to pre side over the dioces-, belongs to what is com monly denominated the L w Curch party. He is a man of unaffected piety,of austere but not im pelling manners, learned without as well as with in the sphere of his professional duty, and is be loved by a'l who know him We do not doubt that this election is an auspicious event for the church.— N. O. Evening Pdt 30M ult. A Home. —ls we were to tell a number of our friends that they don’t know what “home” is, they would grow somewhat indignant—perhaps, use hard words. And yet it may be remarked that the number of persons who know what a genuine home is, by experience, is surprisingly lew. One man in good circumstances will tell us that he has a fine house of his own, in which j every comfort and conveniences are provided. He has a wife and children there, also, and they give life to the place. Very tiue. But does he prefer that home, thus furnished and thus enliv ed, to every other place in the world? Does he sigh when the hour for leaving comes, and smile : when he is permitted to return ? Does he love ! to sit by the cheerful fire and fondle the children, ! enteiing into ail their little disputes with a curi ous interest? Does he take particular note of! the bird in the cage, and the cat near the fire? If not, he has no home, in the dearest sense of ; that dearest of the words. If his mind ft alto- ! gether absorbed in the dusty ways of business j —it he hurries from the house in the morning, I and is loth to return at night—if, while he is at ; home, he continues to think of the journal arid ledger, and repulses the advances of the prat- j tling children, he has no home; he only has a j place where he lodges and fakes his meals. Xh ! happy is he who knows and appreciates the full bliss of home; whose heart is warmed ! | and humanized by its cheerful influences, and ! | who feels how superior in purity of pleasure are \ i all its enjoyments to the turmoil delights of out I ! door life. Thrice happy is such a man. He has discovered the only Paradise th ; s world can now ! I afford. It i 3 only such a man who can have a 1 I deep and sincere pity for the unfortunate crea j tures who are homeless. He regards them as I being cut off from the best influences of the j earth, and exposed to the action of all the darker i waves of life. He feels keenly for him who has no fireiiide--no dear ones to welcome him with smiles, and prattle over the history of the day ! —no tongue to sooth when heavy cares have troubled the mind and rendered the heart sore • and the sympathy of such a man is not slow to oveiflow in acts of benevolence. A good home is the source of the fountain of charity in the heart. Our advice to those who have no homes such as we have described above, is, to get them as soon as possible. They can never be contented and substantial citizens, happy men, until they follow this tfounsel. Get homes ! Fill them with the objects of love and endear- j ment, and seek there for the pure delights | which the world besides cannot afford. ( Keeping Cool. —A correspondent of th« Democratic Courier, f rom Cincinnati, tells a sto ry of a fellow who was lound in the guttei drunk, and taken before the Mayor, when the following dialogue took pi ice: * ‘•David,” said bis honor, as soon as he laid his eyes on Mr. Jones, “are you here again? Did you not promise me last week that you would not get drunk again if I would let you off?” “ Keep cool your honor,” replied Dave, with brazen impudence, “ keep cool—and that’s what I have been trying to do.” “But your charged with being beastly drunk, and were lying in the gutter.” “Drunk— not guilty. Lying in the gutter— guiltyl” ***»• “ What were you lying in the gutter for, if you were not drunk?” “You see, your honor,” replied Dave, with the air of a lawyer, “it was monstrous hot last night—hot as h—l; couldn’t sleep—drinked three glasses of lemonade and a gallon and a half ol pump water—hot yet— jumped into the river—felt nice—but could’nt sleep—then your honor, I came out again—drank another gallon of pump water; pumped a gutter full—laid down in i f —felt comfortable—went to sleep dreamed I was rich, riding in a coach and four ’round the north pole—woke up, found myself in the watch house—trying to keep cool; that’s all.” married.

Melancholy Affair—Several Persons Poisoned—Three or four Deaths.—A gen- j tieman who came down on the South-side Rail road yesterday, gives us the particulars of a melancholy case of poisoning, that occurred in the county of Amherst on Wednesday last. It seems a Mr. Lavender, residing in Amherst, about ten miles from Lynchburg, has been re cently very much annoyed by the dogs in his neighborhood. They have frequently gained ac cess to his Spring House, and devoured his milk and butter. Determined to get rhl of them, on Wednesday lest he placed a quantity of poison , (arsenic it is supposed) in a can of milk, but did ! not communicate the tact to his family. He was unexpectedly called from home, and his en tire family, some thirteen in number, partook of the poisoned milk. A1 last accounts, three had fallen victims bv the unfortunate circumstance, and the remainder were lying dangerously ill— our informant states, not expected to recover.

Dr. M’Lane were first used by him ex- ! : clusively in his own practice. So efficacious were j they in all cases of Liver complaint, that they be- i came famous, and attracting ,the attention of tho I j medical faculty, passed into general uso. They act ; ! with great certainty and regularity; the patient ! almost immediately feels tho dispersion of his dis- 1 ! ease, and is gradually restored to health. With I , some the etfect is almost miraculous, frequently' ex- i | poriencing immediate relief, after having for months ; resorted to drugs and medioinos of another doserip- j j tion, in vain. Diseases of tho Livor aro very com mon in this country, and are often frightful in I ! character. Those who experience any of "the pre i monitory symptoms ot this dangerous and compli ! eated disease, should at once procure a box of Dr ! MVane’s Pills, and perhaps, thereby.be saved a j world of misery. ; will be careful to ask for Dr. M’Lano’s Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else.. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver j Fills, now before tbo public.
