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. AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1854.

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.” Meeting of the Board of Health. Council Chamber.) October sth, 1854, 3 o’clock P.

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 to such charitable uses his discretion may dictate. 1 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 Charleston. Office of City Register, | Wednesday, Oct. 4,10 P. M. J There have been 6 deaths from yellow fever for the past 24 hours. John L. Dawson, M. D.,C. R. 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.

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.

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.

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. M ■■ •_ ___ 'sf » 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 livin.ol the United States District Ccuit for the Western District of Pennsylvania, died e day or two since, whien makes an important vacancy to be filled by the President. Theie will of course be any number of applicants for the position. 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 ■ crop. Y. J. A. I I From the Charleston Standard, 4/A ms/. | 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. By Telegraph lo the Charleston Courier.
