Election of a Provisional Bishop for N,
York.— The Rev. Horatio Potter, D. D., of Al
bany, who has been elected Provisionaf Bishop
of the Diocese of New York, to succeed Rt. Rev.
Dr. Wainwiigbt, is a brother oi the preset*
Episcopal Bishop of Pensylvania, 1 bus presenting
the singular coincidence of two brothers being
electing to the dioceses from which the brotheis
Onderdonk were removed. Dr. Potter was the
candidate of whfct is known as the Low Church
party. Referring to his election the New York
Courier says:
Never was there an election for Bishop in the
Protestant Episcopal Church conducted more
solemnly, in better order, in a more kind and
conciliatory spirit than the one now passed. It
resulted in the election of the Rev. Horatio Pot
ter. D. D., of Albany, as a Provisional Bishop,
and the choice we think will be received with
universol satisfaction by all the members of the
Church. Dr. Potter has long been a prominent
presbyter of this Diocese, is a moderate church
man, an eloquent preacher, and a man of gentle
g spirit and winning manners. He is stiil in the
vigor of life and able to bear the load of labor
which will fall upon him. That he will bear it
manfully and well, the members of the Church
have no reason to doubt, while they have every
ground for believing that the mantle of the late
Bishop, which has also fallen upon him, will be
Ijgfc so worn by him, that love like unto that which
HJI was given to the dead will be fieely extended to
RSiliSfi the living prelate.
W/ fiL The Times says :
j|K Dr. Horatio Potter, now the Provisional Bi
| shop of the Diocese ofNew Y< rk, was originally
I from Poughkeepsie. He graduated a*: Union
I College in 1826, and has been for many yeqrs
| settled in the rectorship of St. Peters Chu ch in
| Albany. His age is probably about fifty years.
I He is a gentleman of pleasing manners, fine cul
f ture, and much talent, and will fill the office of
Bisbop with honor to himself and the Diocese.-
The selection wiffrnndoubtedly, be greeted with
| the hardy applause of Churchmen. In sentiment
| Dr. Potter may be said to represent the Low
I "— * -Church party, in contradistinction to the division
te wfcich was more opposed to him. headed by Dr.
1 Vinton.—The latter gentleman endoised the
choice of the Convention in a neatly turned
l '»n his election, a committee wait
ed upon Dr. Potter, and by them he was intro
duced to the Convention. The Courier says :
M The Bishop then addressed the Convention,
all rising as he spoke. He said that if he spoke
few words and with stammering lips, the event
was too Jsudiien and too fearful in its remote
consequences to allow him to do otherwise.
From his heart he thanked them, and it should
be the business of his life to show his sense of
their kinddess. ll s last sermon, preached in
reference to the late lamented Bishop, was from
the text, “ Be thou faithful un f odeath, and I will
give thee a crown of life.” and might God give
him grace, like Bishop Wainwright, to he faith
ful unto Heath; and might be leceive gr ce, too,
to live in the spirit of that other text, which he
hoped he might be able to make his rule of con
with pride to exalt himself in his posi
l tion, but humbly to act for the good ol the
L church. ** Whosoever would be great among
|(P>u let him be your minister, and whosoever
would be king among you let him be your ser
" vant, for Jesus Christ came not to be ministered
funto but to minister.”
Bishop Potter manifested great emotion while
pi delivering his address, she spirit of which we
have so inadequately rendered.
Dr. Creighton then addiessed the Convention
as follows : “ The Chair congratulates the Con
vention on the auspicious termination of the
election just held, and invites the members to
unite with him in ascriptions of praise to the
11 U ea( l of the Church, under the influence
tfp*# °t whose Holy’ Spirit so harmonious and happy
f: a result has been reached, by singing the Gloria
in Excelsis. The Gloria in Excelsm was sung
by the whole Convention, and after prayer and
• the Benediction given by' Bishop Potter, the
|e Convention adjourned sine die.
. Did Com. Perry see Yeddo? has become a
fjjj newspaper question. Letters received from the
:i squadron sometime ago agreed upon the (act that
_ the Commodore did go so near the Japanese
capital that those on board the steamer could see
the buildings. In fact their appearance w’as fully
described. The Commodore, it was represented,
deviated from his purpose of landing atYeddo, and
9 41 looking round a little 7 ’ out of pity to the inter
, preters who would have committed suicide had
be not abandoned his intention. Then a cor
respondent of the New York Courier, writing
v _ . from on boaid oue of the ships of the fleet, posi
tively denied the approach of the vessels to
withiu sight of Yeddo, the Commodore having
abandoned his purpose long before obtaining a
view of the city, at the urgent solicitations’of
interpreters. The officer, however was in
one of the sailing vessels, which were far in the
wake of the steamers. The original report is
l| strengthened by a correspondent of the Utica
Herald, who writing frogn on board the stearn
/ frigate Mississippi says:
' “The day we left Yeddo Bay we sailed up with
in three miles of the city and plainly saw it, but the
interpreters who were on board the two steamers
said if we went any nearer, the would be obliged
to commit the ‘Hari K.ari,’ which is to commit
suicide, ripping up their abdomen and disem
bowelling themselves, as the Emperor had given
positive orders not to permit our ships to come
any nearer the city, and that order disobeyed,
t the Emperor holding them responsible, they
would have to kill themselves to save their
honor; that being the only way it can be pre
served in this country. Knowfng such to be the
case, the Commodore gave orders to return, and
so saved the the honor and lives of the poor
fellows.” — Balt. American, 2d inst.
Another Outrage.
The following narrative is from a Texas pa
- per. Capt. Hollins ought to be sent to lock into
it:
Five gentlemen arrived in San Antonio. Sept.
4th, who are just returning from California, hav
ing come by the overland route from Mazatlan,
on the Pacific—their names and places of resi
dence are as follows:
Richard M. Head, Bibb county, Georgia; John
W. Cole, Holly Springs, Mississippi; Jas. School
field, Hamilton county, Tennessee; David Spring
Fort Smith, Arkansas.
From these persons we learn the following
painful disclosure: In the city of Durango, Mexi
co, they learned in a private manner that lhere
were some Americans in the city prison, and
they afterwards got permission to visit them.
They found them in a large stone dungeon, of so
filthy a,description, that it was almost impossible
for visitors to remain in the entrance way but a
few minutes. The Americans in confinement
were three in numler, and their names and for
mer place of residence were as follows: William
Shirley, Broom county, New York; William
Rodgers, Starlf county, Ohio; John Gaines, Day
ton, Montgomery county, Ohio. These men
have been in this filthy dungeoi* four years and
three months, and during two years of this time
.they were chained down to the floor, in total
| * darkness, where they could not see any person
but the one who fed them their starving allow
ance. At the end of two years, the huge chains
around tbeir ankles and wrists had worn the flesh,
off to the hone, and such was tbeir horrid condi
tion, that their were removed to save
tbeir lives and keep them in misery the longer
The flesh is partly healed over these wounds,
leaving the most heart-sickening scars, which
were all seen by the five persons, whose names
•re mentioned above.
They state that they were imprisoned on the
charge of murdering and robbing a man for his
money, and they state also, that from facts
which they were in possession of, the person
who committed the murder escaped. Tfrey have
been trying to get a trial, but a hearing is refus
ed them. They have written letters to the
American Minister in Mexico several times a«d
they have reasons to believe that he has never
I received them.
Our informants iearned trom many re?pec;a
--bl« Spaniards in Durango, that it was impossi
bleto get evidence to convict them; and the
great mass of the jieople believe them innocent.
The yougest of these prisoners, John Gaines, of
Dayton, Ohio, is only 17 yeais old. The inter
view which our informants had with them, was
a heart-thrilling scene—and on taking leave,
they begged them in the most teeling manner to
relate their circumstances to the American peo-
P V nd possible to send news to their friends
of flteir condition, and send them relief.
Ihe above statement is of the most reliable
character—these persons witnessed it with their
own eyes, and they are persons of undoubted
veracity, and some of them have long been
known to some of our citizens.
For the sake of humanity, let there be some
thing done in this matter.. If a citizen of the
United States has any projection abroad, let it
be known. For what object do we have a Min
ister in Mexico? Our government should re
gard the rights of each citizen of our country,
and bold them as sacred fs the rights of one
of thg States of our Union.
Let the alarm be sounded in the ears of every
American citizen, that three of their brothers are
confined without cause, and are famishing with
hunger and dying in chains, in a dark loathsome
dungeon in the city ol Durango, Mexico.-JVran.
Kansas. —The Balt. American ol 2d inst.,says :
It will not be long before Kansas, which at the
last session of Congaess was placed under a ter
ritorial organization, will be knocking for ad
mission among the States of the Union. Her
hitherto barren lands are being rapidly occupied
by an enterprising people, who with their agri
cultural, commercial, and manufacturing ** no
Hons,” will soon enable her to hold up her head
among the sovereigns of th# mighty Republic.
We have just rereived the first number of “ The
Kansas Herald,” issued on the 15th inst., and
edited by Messrs. Osborn & Adams, whose
sanctum , at present, is located under an elm tree ,
from which they make their bow to their co
temporaries. Such energy, certainly, cann-t fail
ol success; at all events it is keeping up pretty
well with the western spirit and “ goaheadative
ness.” For the past ten days the Herald says,
Maj. F.. Hawn, Engineer, has been engaged in
surveying and laying off the town, which is
situated about one mile and a half below Fort
Leavenworth, on the Missouri river. It joins
the Military Reserve, and has a rock bound front
on the river, with a gradual ascent, and gentle
undulation tor miles around. The town has
already a steam saw mill, a printing office,
several stores, a large hotel, and a number of
private-Aiweliings. It is highly probable that
Leavenworth will be the metropolis of the
State.

Melancholy Accident.
By a most melancholy accident, yesterday
morning, Mr. John Felix McKinnie was
almost instantly deprived oflife, while but a
moment before m the full enjoyment ofyeutht
health and strength.
The circumstances attending this sad event
were as iollows: Mr. McKinnie had just arrived
in town to attend to his duties in -the Bank of
Augusta, where he occupied’the post of discount
and out-dcor clerk; as he turned the corner of
Jackson and Ellis streets, on his way to the
stable oi J. M. Simpson, ahorse attached to a
wagon, which was unmanageable, dashed by at
a furious rate. Mr. McKinne’s horse took fright
and ran with him ; he attempted to rein him up
against a fence on the opposite side of the street,
and in so doing the buggy was brought in violent
contact with a tree, and he .was thrown head
long from it. He received such severe injuries
from his fall as to cause his death in about half
an hour from the time of the accident.
Mr. McKinnie was a member of one of the
oldest and best known families in thiscommuni
ty. They have lately sustained a severe afflic
tion from the loss of one member, by the pesti
lence, and now another has been called to his
grave with scarcely a moments notice. Let them
remember, however, that ; ‘whom tbeLorPfW/*,
he ehasteneth.”

subscription raised by a few Israelites, residents
of this city and Atlanta, That their names may

amble and resolution was unanimously- adopted.
Whereas the Great dispenser of human events
has deemed it wise to affl ct our beloved city
with sickness and death, and whereas the
dreaded epidemic has plunged a community in
distress, and a portion in want and destitution,
we, members of the Congregation, Children of
Israel, oi Augusta, Ga., feel it incumbant to con
tribute our mite for the relief of our distressed
fellow-cit zens of our affl.cted city, be it there
fore,
Resolved, That the sum of Fifty Dollars (SSO)
be forwaru-d to the President of the Samaritan
Society, of Augusta, Ga , to be by him devoted

A true extract of the minutes.
J. J. JACOBUS, Sec’y, C. C. I.
Services tc be Remembered.
In the multitude of engagements, which cur
present position have devolved on us, we omitted
to mention at the proper time the names of two
medical gentlemen, who,on hearing of the panic
under which our city has been laboring for sev- 1
eral weeks, promptly catne to the assistance o
the needy, without any expectation of remuner
ation.
The first was Dr. Cheesborough, of Burke
county, who has been out of practice some four
teen or fifteen years, but having some experience
in the treatment ofYellow Fever, from previous
practice, promptly left his plantation, came to
the city, offered his services, and has since done
and is now doing yeoman’s duty.
The other is Dr. A. F. Bignon, the youngest
son of one of our oldest and most respected citi
zens. Ue was practising near Montgomery Ala.
but on bearing of our distress, promptly came to
our assistance, and has been kept busily employ
ed since his arrival.
Acts speak louder than words, and such acts
a? we have recorded above, will be long remem
bered by the citizens of Augusta.
Chickens.
The Samaritan Society, (thanks to friends in
the country) have now on hand, at the United
States Hotel, a supply of Chickens, which will
be distributed out to the sick or needy on applica
tion to either of the Ward Commiitees.
A Liberal Donation
There are several families at the Camp Ground
who are in needy circumstances. Application
was made to the Samaritan Society, for their re
lief, which was cheerfully granted, and the gen
tleman who made.it will be furnished with all
necessary articles on application at this office.
We learn that Mr. Edmund Greenwood, of this
county, bearing of their distress, promptly sent
to the Camp Ground eight bushels of meal to be
distributed among the destitute.
Chicken Soup.
The Samaritan Society received yesterday a
Liberal offer from Mr. George Plumb, the propri
etor of the shades, to furnish the sick or needy
daily, with eh.cken soup. By sending to his
establishment on Ellis street, in the rear of the
United States Hotel, a supply will be furnished
daily between 10and 1 o’clock. This is a cen
tral point and we hope all in need will send.
Contributions. —The following contribu
tions have been received by the Mayor of this
city independent of the contributions received
by the good Samaritan Society : W. E. Dearingi
$10; From New Orleans through the Mayor of
I Savannah, $583.25; Isaac S. Tuttle, SIOO.
In addition to the above, we are requested by
the Mayor to acknowledge, through an anony
mous letter, the sum of ten dollars.

Health of Atlanta.
|We understand (says the Atlanta Intelligencer)
that reports are in circulation that the yellow
fever is prevailing in Atlanta. These reports are
utterly unfounded. There have never been but
two cases of the disease in this city this season,
and both were contracted in other places—the
first in Savannah and the second in Augusta.
They caused no uneasiness at all among the citi
zens. The health of the city, which is proverbi
ally good at all seasons, was never better than it
is at present.
Health of Knoxville.
The Register ol the 2d inst. says:—We think
we may 7 safely announce disappearance of
the cholera from our city. We have th s morn
ing made diligent enquiry ftom residents in all
quarters of the town, and have heard of no new
cases.
Business of every description has resumed its
wanted channel, and our town wears a life-like
appearance, and the indications are favorable for
a heavy business season.
Samaritan Association.
We appeal to the sympathies of ail good citi»
zens and Philanthropists, to come forward and
help them in alleviating the distress which pre
vails in our city, in consequence of the scarcity
of Nurses, Money, Provisions, and all comforts
which are needed among ourpanic stricken peo
ple. Physicians will please notice the names of
the Ward Committees, to whom they are re
quested to report.
The following are the Officers and Ward Com
mittees of the Association:

Provisions.
Depots for Bacon, Meal, Sugar, Rice, and
Candles, have befcn established at the United
States Hotel in the third ward, and at Mr. Tin
sley’s store in the fourth vva:d. Those who stand
in need of assistance, have only to make their
wants known to either of the officers of the
Society on the ward Committees, and they will
be supplied promptly. Our citizens have con
tributed liberally, and it is the intention of the
Society to dispense their gifts frugally, but wher
ever it is needed. Let no false delicacy keep
away any who are in need, for there are many
now in the city who, at another time, would not
know want, but under present affliction, a!-'
though they have the means, have not them at
command.
The present debt ot the city of New--York is
over ten millions of dollars. The expense of the
city government last year amount to nearly
four million.
Among the deaths at New Orleans on the
20th ult., of the yellow lever, was Valentine
Mott, jr., M. D., son of Professor Mott, of New
York, in the 33d year of his age.
The Young Men’s Benevolent Association of
Savannah intend applying to the next Legisla
ture for the pas-age of an act of incorporation, by
which to establish in that city an Association
similar to the Howards of New Orleans.

In addition to the above contributions, the
Samaritan Society requests us to acknowledge a
coop ot chickens Irom Mrs. J. Waterman,
80 chickens from Wrn. M. Morton, Athens, and
another coop of chickens from Ramsay and Nel
son. 1 hese two latter gentlemen, in previous
acknowledgments, we mentioned as citizens of
Columbia county. They are both residents of
this city, and we can assure them that their do
nations were thankfully received by the Society,
and have contributed materially in alleviating
the present distress in our city.
Should there beany others, who have not been
called on, who wish to contribute to the means
of this charitable association, they will please
leave their subscriptions at this office. Our citi
zens, who are away, can also forward auy sums
they may be pleased to give, to the address of
this office or the Treasurer of the Society, and it
will be acknowledged.
The accounts of the MempmKj'id Charleston
Railroad for the year ending 31st August last,
show the total earnings to be $1G2,780.07: ex
penses, $77,900 40; net earnings tor twelve
months, $84,879.02. Perhaps few other road*
in the Union of the same completed length,could
be able to exhibit so satisfactory a balance sheet.
Enlistments in the U. 8. Army are going on
much more briskly since the passage of the bill
raising the pay of theffank and file. From the
Ist to the 20th of September, in the year 1853,
the number of enlistments in thß army was 96,
while for the same period of the present year the
number has been 331. At this rate, the various
corps of the national service will soon be filled
up, a thiug greatly to be desired, as the opera
tions of the War Department have been vefy
much cramped by the paucity in the ranks,
caused by the previously pour remuneration of
the soldier. The increased pay seems to be bring
ing into the service a better class of persons, con
sisting of young men of good physical and other
qualifications, mostly of American birth.
Bonk Mamjek. —Farmers have long appreciaj
ated the value of bone manure, but the diffi

them be neglected in those sections where there
are no crushing machines. The new process
of them into ashes therefore deserves a trial.—

the process has been pursued to a considerable ]
extent by many northern farmers. Mr. Decker
proposes to use the ley from ashes, and spates that
in his exfieriments he obtained the desired re
sult in twenty-four hours, the time occupied in
the compost ol bones and moistened • ashes be
ing many days. The Post says, for the j
disintegration of bones, that is, undoubtedly, a
cheap and effective means; but it does not pre
pare them for the greastest immediate usefulness
jin the soil. If it does not dissolve the bonus, it j
! merely breaks up their organization, and eilows
i their phosphate-of lime to assume a more finely
j divided form, without increasing its solubility.
! of lime (the ashy part of bones,)
j cannot be largely useful to plants, on account of
its insolubility. It be changed to a super- I
phosphate, its immediate value as manure will j
be increased ten-lold: and if, after having de
composed bones by the aid of ley, we will apply. |
j to them a strong solution of sulphuric acid, we
shall change the phosphate of lime to a super- j
phosphate and a sulphate of lime, or plaster, thus I
greatly enhancing its value, while the ammonia
escaping from the decomposing gelatine will be
come fixed by its union with the acid.
Babt Show. —The Cincinnati Gazette has
received a large hand-bill and a circular from
Springfield, setting forth in detail the particu
lars ot the baby show which is to “ come off’ in
that town on the 15th of October. The baby
exhibition is therefore a fixed fact, and it is ex
pected that quite a large number of entries will
be made. Three complete silver tea sets, each
consisting of a coffee urn, two tea-pots, sugar
bowls, a cup and«slop bowl, are to be distribu
ted as priies. The babies are to be native-born,
and of true Caucasion blood, and a gentleman is
now on East purchasing the tea-pots and things.
The first grand sweep-stake premium will be
given to the finest baby not exceeding»two years
°f age; the second to tho finest baby over one
and not over two years old ; the third to the fi
nest baby not over one year old.
Yellow Fever—Health of Our City.—
We learn that it is reported inihe country that
we have Yellow fever in Columbus. The only
case that has been here at all was that of a young
man, Mr. John Martin, who contracted the dis
ease in Savannah, and came to this city last week.
He was taken to the residence of Dr. Schley, in
Wyrmtcn, and is now convalescent.
We are assured by the Mayor, that, in the
event of any other case arriving here, it will be
immediately disposed ot in the country o‘r at the
Hospital. No apprehension is felt here what
ever.
As to the general health of our city, it gives
us the liveliest gratification to be able to state
that it was never better. We are entirely free
from serious disease of any kind, and we can
confidently assure our country friends that there
can be no possible risk or danger in visiting us
as usual. We have been led to say thus much,
lest exaggerated rumors in relation to the case
of fever mentioned above may have been cir
culated in the adjacent country. —Columbns
Times , 3d itisf.
About twenty-six railroad companies of Ohio
and Indiana were represented at the Convention
held at Columbus last The resolutions
adopted do away altogether with the free pass
or “dead-head” system, and after the expiration
of the current year, no pass, in any case, will be
"ranted. The resolutions are-so strict in their
construction, that when the president of one
railway shall have occasion to travel over anoth
er he will be charged full fare. The practice of
passing clergymen at hall fare will also cease at
the close of the year. Resolutions looking to a
gradual but general increase of the tariff of pri
ces for freight and passage were also agreed upon.
The new regulations aie to go into effect on the
Ist of January next.
The Chicago Times says that the Michigan
Southern Railroad has made a contract for the
delivery ol dour from St. Louis to New York
at $1 70 per barrel, and that already over thir
teen thousand barrels had been canied at that
rate. They have also contracted to take from
Chicago and deliver in New. York, fifteen thou
sand barrels at Si 20. The freight byway of
Buffalo could be obtained perhaps at ten cents
less per barrel ; but merchants find that the
great time saved, and the saving in insurance,
&c., more than compensates for the advanced
rates. The New York Post says that in conse
quence of this railroad competition, the Illinois
canal is becoming a stagnant ditch ; the gates of
its locks are less and less frequently opened ; and
those who expected great things from it are
wholly disappointed. The Post therefore pre
dicts that Canals, ere loog, at least in northern
channels will be as much out of date as stage
coaches.
Gov. Seymour the nominee of the New York
Softs, accepts the nomination for re-election, and
gives, as a reason therefore, his desire to test the
public sentiment of the State, on the issues
made in his Veto Message of the Prohibitory
Liquor Law.

Destructive Fire at Richmond.—On Fri
day night, we learn from the Richmond Des
patch, that the large tobacco facto:y of Mr.
James Riley, with its contents, and an adjoining
building,occupied by a number of poor families,
were entirely destroyed by fire. There is only a
partial insurance of $3,000 on the property.
The U. S. Mail Steamship Pacific sailed from
New York on Saturday for Liverpool, with 161
passengers, and over a million in gold. Among
her passengers were Hon. Reverdy Johnson, if
Baltimore, and Mr. Robert G. Scott,U. S. Con
sul at Rio, find wife.
A New Movement in Delkwars. — lt is
stated that there is a new movement now being
made in the State of Delaware, under the au
pices of the Hon. John M. Clayton, having for
its object the merging of the Whig party ol the
State into an American organization.
A U. States District Judge Dead,- Judge

The Late Gale.
Dublin, Ga., Sept. 30, 1854.
Messrs. Editors : —As the late gale >'s at
tracting the attention ot some of your readers in
a scientific point of view, a statement of its
movements in this section may not be altogeth
er devoid of interest.
The wind began to blow here from E. by N.
Thursday, the 7th Inst., about 6 o’clock, P. M.,
and gradually veered to N. E. then to N. and’
eventually to W., and ended Saturday 1 o’clock,
A. M., from W. by S. From 1 P. M. to 4P’.
M. Friday, the wind was partially lulled, but by
6 P. M. it was plainly on the increase, and by
10 P. M. was blowing a storm
Itj will be perceived therefore that this not
only establishes Mr. Redfield’s theory of the At
lantic Storms, but also the direction of the Gale j
as suggested by Mr. Couper. Tae centre of the
storm very probably passed over the eastern por
tion of Laurens or western portion of Emanuel
county, thus fixing its general motion from E S.
E to W. N. W.
The sky was perfectly clear until 6 o’clock
Friday morning. It began to drizzle about 10 !
A. M., and continued more or less till 10 P. M.,
at which time it increased to a lively shower. I
The whole of Saturday it rained in torrents.
Cotton has been greatly damaged, and the re- j
suit will be a loss of perhaps one fourth of the ■

LATER FROM HAVANA.
Arrrival of the Crescent City.
By the U. S. Mail steamship Crescent Cify,
Capt. McGowan, arrived at New Orleans, we
have intelligence from Havana to noon of the
•40th inst.
The items concerning the arrival and reception
of Gen. Concha have been anticipated by our
active correspondent Hudson.
On the 22d Gen. Concha issued an address to
the inhabitants of the island, declaring his resolu
tion to continue the same course in administering
its government as he did when lie before occu
pied the Captain-Generalship, and that he hoped
to meet the same support from them which they
hail always given him. Unde* these conditions,
he expressed his hope to be able to guide the is
land to the very summit of prosperity, binding
it more strongly than ever to the mother country
by the strong ties of interest and affection.
On the same day he also issued an address to
the soldiery of the island, as Captain General.
This document is of the ordinary complimentary
ancf confidence expressing character.
Gen. Concha’s Secretary is Sr. D. Joaquin Mo
rales de Rada.
A royaf'deciee of the sth ot August, published
on the same day, relieved Field Marshal Don
Francisco La Vailetfe from the post of second in
command in the IslanJband put in possession ot
jDon Joaquin del Manzatro. Under another de
cree the latter also took possession ot the direc
tion and correspondence of the Secretaryship of
the Island; and under yet another he took pos
session of the political and military government
of the western part of the Island.
The genera! news given in the Havana papers
is not of much interest to our readers.
The American bark Childe Harold. Capt. A.
W. King, ran ashore in front of the castle at
Cieniiiegos on.the 31st ult.. but was got off with
assistance afforded her from the castle and from
the Spanish steamer Gen. Lezu.
The epidemic which had prevailed at Trinidad
was subsiding considerably at latest accounts,
which reach to the 15'h inst.
The weather, which had been excessively hot
and dry at Sagua-L-Grande lor a long titpe, had
changed tor a rainy and somewhat cooler weath
er spell. The weatherwise, ho vever, were an
ticipating bad weather r.ext month. -
A locomotive on one of the Havafia railways
exploded on the morning of the 22d. The pas
sengers in the train fortunately were not serious
ly hurt, but the engineer was wounded, it was
leared mortally ; one negro fireman was killed
on the spot,a second was latally injured, a fourth
person attached to the engine is missing, and is
supposed to be crushed beneath the ruins, several
passers by were injured . but not seriously, the
cars were considerably damaged, some of the
surrounding houses were slightly injured, and a
portion ot the. line was torn up. It is said the
damage must have been considerably greater,
but that the explosion was downwards throifgh
the bottom of the boiler.
We have intelligence from Porto Rico, byway
of Havana, to the 7th inst. There is not much
of interest or importance. There was but one
vessel in the port loading with sugar, and a great
want oi provisions and other supplies from abroad
is complained of. A slight shock of earihq rake
was experienced at San German on the 9th inst.,
it caused no damage. Bad weather had been ex
perienced, and had been pretty general, it would
appear, among the neighboring Islands. At St.
Thomas, on the 3d inst, several vessels in the
bay were compelled to put to sea, to avoid being
driven on shore.
