Good night! a word so often said, i The heedless mind forgets its meaning; 1 ’Tis only when some heart lies dead, On which our own was leaning, We hear in maddening m usic roll That last “good night” along the soul. “Good night”—in tones that never die; It peals along the quickning ear, And tender gales of memory Forever watt it near, When stilled the voice, 0 crush of pain— • That never shall breathe “good night” again. “Good night!” it mocks us from the grave— It overleaps that strange world’s bound From whenco there flows no backward wave— It calls from out tins ground, On every side, around—above, “Good night, good night” to life and love! v “Good night!’’ 0 wherefore fades away The light that lived in that dear word ? Why follows that good night, no day, Why are our souls so stirred? 0, rather say, dull brain, once more, “Good night! thy time of toil is o’er.’- ‘Goodnight’'—now cometh gentle sleep, And tears that fall likS gentle rain, Good night, 0, holy, blest and deep, The rest that follows pain! How should we reach God’s upper light, If life’s long day had no “good night.” : , From the Columbus Enquirer. Loan Associations. As these Institutions seem to meet with gen eral favor among all classes ol our fellow-citizens the following items relative to a similar Com pany that has recently been organized at the North, will be of particular interest. The plan of operations constitutes its distinguishyig ieat axes from all that have yet been started, and to ISp these operations appear less objectionable than ifeomeof the features of the older Companies.— IPjpere they are, in substance: S.,. L 1. The new Compony is intended to be a per manent Institution, in which parties can invest their money as long as they please. P JThe members can receive their dividends in cash as soon as their payments and dividends amount to SIOO, without waiting till the wind ing up of the concern. In fact, they have the benefit ol all their dividends from the commence ment, being credited their full proportion. And they can pay in the whole SIOO at once, il they 3. yhe borrower is credited, every year, for all his monthly payments—so that he is not ob liged to pay interest qn the whole sum borrow ed after he has paid b. ck a part of it; his interest diminishes year by year. H 4. He knows, by the the table, how much he lias to pay, and how long he has to pay it in, without being subjected to any uncertainty. _ b. He can, at any time, redeem his mortgage by paying up the balance that remain due. 6, Any member can draw out all his money at a*iy time, with interest , whenever he wishes, wW&f giving a month’s notice. And, in case of his death, his heirs or representatives can do the same' thing. 7 The meeting of the directois are always held on a particular day of the mouth, and hour ol the day—so that borrowers know exactly when their cases will be acted upon, 8. The whole plan and working of the Asso ciation are milch more simple and easily under stood than those of any other. These new and peculiar features oi this Asso ciation must recommend it to the favor both of those who wish to invest and those who wish to borrow, and are admirably calculated for the Kancfif rJ hotih. "“a leaTlul nor in i deputy sheriffs and Irish, at the poll of the first district. Fourteenth Ward, Corner of Second and North Slxtn Streets, in which pistol shots u’ere exchanged, and clubs, stoues and other missies, were freely used. Ihe deputies were badly beaten and three men are, it is feared, injured beyond recovery. Several iracases occurred dur ,n S afternoon, between these parties, with* out serious results. The riot commenced, as <iear as could be as certained, in the following manner, An Irishman was challenged by Deputy-Sheriff Silkworth, a light ensued, when some eight or ten. deputies wbo were on the other side of the street, rushed into the room, and commenced using their clubs j||« - eely. Ihe Irishmen, numbering some hun djreds, tore down fences, and secured clubs, stor es «c., and a general fight ensued, which lasted over half an hour. The news of the riot spread like wildfire. Ihe fire alarm bells were and hundreds of the citizens gathered in the streets; but few were inclined to go to the scene, where it was reported that many persons were laying dead in the streets, and bullets were ifarevery direction. excitement was still further increased by f seeing persons who had been injured, carred alon*' by their friends, some apparently dead. The | following is a list of the injured, as far as could be ascertained : DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED. Wo. Henry Harrison, a member of Engine Co. No. 3, residing in Eighth street, near South Second street, received a number of scalp wounds; was not expected to livedrotn one hour to another. John H. Smith,a member of Engine Co. No. 3, badly bruised, and skull supposed to be frac tured. Not expected to recover. Resides in Eighth street, near North Second street Charles Silkwoith, Deputy SheiifF, residing at 79 Grand Street. Recovery doubtful, BADLY INJURED. ‘ Deputy Sheriff Alanson Hays, received a scalp wound. Attended by Dr. Smith, and was able to be about. Edward Wade, deputy, received a severe scalp wound over the left temple, another on the back of the head, and had his left ear cut in two with a shovel. Was attended by Dr. Smith. Lewis Russel, deputy, received several blows B on the head with stones. Joha Rappeljee received a severe cut across the nose. Wm. Wright way badly beaten about the head. Mr. Francis an aged and respectable citizen, was badly beaten. Several shots were exchanged ; but ho one in jured. A number of Irishwomen were seen fur nishing bludgeons to their friends. We have not learned of anyirishman being se riously injured. Great excitment prevailed amongst the Americans, and many persons were arriving from Brooklyn aud New' I’ork— many thoroughly armed. Respectable American citizens were ncs al lowed to vote at this poll, and instances occurred ! where they had their coats torn from their backs »n attempting toexercise their right of suffrage. Wnn»! A,I ‘ DlPFlc are gratified to learn that our suggestion in yesterday's Courier induced L,s Honor the {Mayor and several other gentleman to see the Hen Wm. Aiken, relative to the existing difficulty between the South Car oh. a Rad Road and toe Post Office Department, and that, at their request, our immediate Renre sentative expressed his readiness to leave the * city this morning for Washington, to lay the matter again before the Department, and endea vor to obtain an immediate settlement of the points at issue. Jn consequence of the short ness of time, it was deemed more advisable that Mr. Aiken should proceed forthwith, than wait for the action of a public meeting which would have involved a day’s delay, and most probably resulted in requesting him to pursue the course be is aobut to take. The prompt attention of Mr. Aiken to the re quest made to him is worthy of all praise, and we trust that the Post-master General will lis ten favorably to the respectful remonstrances that will be made to him. and not hesitate, from any fastideousness, to pursue that course which the public good dictates; as our New Orleans cotemporary, the Picayune, well observes : ”lt is not a small matter, to be estimated by < the dollars and cents in dispute, or a local mat- j Jer, to interest only the Company and the J)e - partment. It is our affair as well as theirs ; and more ours than theirs, because of the much great er commercial interests here to be atfecterf by the obstruction of the mail, which they are dis cussing like lawyers looking for flaws in a lease, with a pepper-corn rent. “The whole Southwest directly, and the whole Western Valley which trades with the South- , west and with New Orleans, are parties in inter est to this controversy; and they have the right to insist that their interests ought not to be jeo pardised by a conflict upon a matter so trivial as the grounds of this dispute manifestly are.”— Charleston Courier , 11 th inst. The Mormon Temple at Salt Lake. —The great Temple which the Monnous are building at the city of the Salt Lak<£ is described as pro missng to be a wonderful structure, covering an area of 21,800 square feet. The block on which . it is located is forty rods square, and contains ten acres ot ground, around which a lotty wall has already been erected, to be surmounted by an iron railing manufactured by the Mormons themselves at their iron works in Iron county, Utah Territory. The Temple building will have a length of 186 i feet east and vast including towers, of which there are three at the east end and three at the west, and the width will be ninety nine feet. The northern and southern walls are eight feet thick. The towers spoken of above are cylindrical, surmounted by octagon turrets and pinnacles, and having inside spiral stairways leading to the battlements. Besides these, thejjg are tour other towers on the four principal corners of the building, square in form and terminating in spires. On the western end will be plced in otto relievo the great Dipper, or Ursa Major. As regards the interior arrange ments, there will be in the basement a baptismal font 57 feet long by 35 feet wide, and on the first floor a large hall, 130 feet long, by 80 feet wide; while on the third floor there will be an other of the same size, besides numerous other rooms for various purposes. Around the outside of the building will be a prominade from eleven to twenty-two feet wide. The Columbia Carolinian of Thursday says : “We notice the arrival of the engineer and as sistants who are about to enter on the prelimina ry survey of the proposed rail road between Kingsville (the junction) and Hamburg. “We are looking anxiously forward to the sub scriptions on our own line, (Columbia and Ham burg,) which has been already surveyed, and to which nearly half a million has been already subscribed. We trust that our Lexingtou and , Edgefield friends will bestir themselves, and that alter the session of the Legislature, from whom . some formal authority to subscribe by the town is expected, the building of the road will be urg ed forward with despatch. The natural and t shortest route is from Columbia, and we have no doubt that is the one which will be adopted.’’ The Panama Railroad. This important undertaking is in rapid pro gress of completion. The Aspinwali Courier of a late date says: “ We have recently traversed the whole line direct through to Panama, and we are again pre pared to speak advisedly of the portion before visited, as well as of the whole route. The road, so lar as the “ Empire” station, has been proven as stable, capable, and as little needing repairs, as we predicted in August las' - . An qpnmense amount of work has been, and is continually be ing done upon it, with safe and ’juuicious econo my. Rails have been laid from the Empire sta tion to the “summit”—literaly as well as nom inally of the road—the passenger and freight trains pass daily from Aspinwail to the “Sum mit,” and from the “ Summit” to Aspinwali and the recent residents at Obispo have deserted that place for the Summit, the present terminus of the road.” The great difficulties existing at the Summit, in the way of quicksands have been overcome. If the present superintendent continues with the active force he now has under him, the grading of the balance of the road, from the Summit to the Pacific will be completed in three months. Notwithstanding the filing grading, on the Pacific side it is the most difficult and laborious on the whole line, yet it is hoped that a train of cars will pass over the entire route from Aspin wall to Panama by the first of March. The American Bible Society, at its regular monthly meeting in New York city, on the 2d '*. rr~r' "**" "f’mopnmTou ui ycuuuyvas made to the Arcot mission, another appropriation also, to the Protestant Episcopal Missionary Society, for the mission among the Chinese iii California, and grants were made of German Testaments to the Children’s Aid Society Welsh Bibles and Testaments to the Methodist Mis sionary Society for distribution at Carbondale I enn.; also German and English Bibles and Tes taments for distribution in Alleghany County Bibles were granted to the Methodist Sunday School at the Quarantine, S. l. ; also, Spanish Bibles for V alparaiso; Portuguese Bibles for sea men; to the American and Foreign Christian V: a^ Pol L s . h an d Testaments; to the Methodist Missionary Society, books in Spanish lor Buenos Ayres. „f S pTm AL t Mm, fn E r A man by the nrtne of I. s . Bhickman ot Pamesville, and a young lady by the name of Julia Hurlburt, daughter of Doctor Hurlburt of Kirtland, were spiritually married at the latter place, on Sunday, October loth. The ceremony consisted of matrimonial declarations made by themselves in the presence of the friends, about fifty- being present. The services consisted of the following poetical an nouncement : “Have you seen the morning sun beam kiss the opening blossom ? Thus did our spirits meet and greet at the first interview • and as the invisible elements of nature unite and blend in one harmonious impulse, so are our spi rits aiiimtized into one accordant living force Whoever are thus united by the eternal laws of anmity, naught has authority to separate We tnus introduce ourselves unto'you in the relation of bus bend and wife.”— Ohio Paper. nf J,?

The h.x- y . i . bids them God speed, and tells them they have not organized a moment too soon seeing the powerful elements of sectionalism and disunion that are now at work. Health of the City.— From all the further inquiry we have been able to make upon this subject of late so interesting, we are led to the conviction that.the health of our city is excel lent. Gi ten heads ol lamilies assembled a few evenings since, not one knew of a single case of sickness in the whole circle of his acquaintance. Ibe health of tlie place has also been recently submitted to a pretty severe test. There is aii unusual amount of shipping in the bay; the pas sengers and crews that have been brought in are entire strangers. Their crews, at least, have vLifT c ®P hned to th * wharf and to those ' places where they were most likely to contract disease; more w Ccession , to osj r population occurred J f w , eek l a S°- and not one solitary fera w 7 v bee " k,lWl to he among cessarv to * Sa mistak « that is ne occurs late in th* 16 leVer ? when tke e P*demic ended* aboul°the * 1“ in October, while the frorf'did 'not 'come " ' n near December and this year we have no dec! ded frost yet, and we ventuie !o assert that there AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. I SUNDAY MORNING, NOV’R*I2. The late Epidemic. When the fearful epidemic which has scourged our community, prostrating so many important interests and blighting so many fair hopes, made its appearance in the city, the writer was absent, seeking restoration of the health of a sick family in the pure breezes of the country. The intel ligence of the calamity that had befallen the city, reached us in our rural retreat, and hastened our return. J When we arrived, universal panic and alarm prevailed. The streets were nearly deser ted—nearly all the houses and stores closed, and it was only during the middle hours ot the day, the thoroughfares usually most crowded present ed any semblance of former animation. At the close of day, and at early morning, the city seem ed almost a habitation of the dead rather than the home of an active and industrious popu lation. The first intelligence that greeted our arrival was that our Brother-in-law, Mr. James Rhind, was desperately ill of the yellow fever, at the Sand Hilts. We hastened to his bedside, and there stood for days and nights witnessing the fierce stiuggles of strong life and manly vigor with the remorseless destroyer—a struggle in which medical skill, careful nursing, and watchful affection in vain strove for the mastery. Death is appalling, come in what shape it may. The last quiet sigh of the tender infant falls with stunning effect on the ear which a yearning love bends over the little sufferer’s couch. But when the strong man falls beneath the blow of fell disease—when the bright intellect, cultivated by refined education, matured by long experi- ence of life’s great interests and responsibilities, is qitgnched forever in this'world—when the manly heart, glowing with the stqmgest and purest of earth’s affections, and cherishing a de sire for life from its value and importance to j others, oeases to beat and its iwises become stil- | led in death, who can 'depict the anguish and j affliction such a calamity brings upon a house hold? Such a scene we witnessed at the bed side of our relative and friend. His noble calm ness when the awaiting him was announced—his Christian resignation to the will of Heaven—his w-ords of tender and pure affection to those near and dear to him, imbued as they were with such noble abnegatipn of self— his dying injunctions to his motherless children, about to be doubly orphaned, breathing in every sentence the best practical wisdom and the purest sentiments of right and duty, made his a i death-bed sublimely impressive. , He was a man of superior intelligence, of ac -1 cotnplished mercantile education, ot liberal ; ! acquirements, of the strictest integrity, and ex ■ emplary in all the relations of life. The death ■ of such a man is a loss, not only to his family, but the community at large. t Jam,es Rhtnd was a native of New York city, ■ a graduate of Columbia College, and received his 1 mercantile education in a leading French house jj in that city. .He died in the forty-third year of his age. , When the sad scenes above referred to were • passing, intelligence reached us of the death by ® yellow fever, at Marietta, of our nephew James o Gardner GouLD,son of Hon. William T. Gou!d> of Augusta. . He carried the fatal seeds ol disease e with him from this city, which he had but a few days before left, with his youug wife and . child. When prudence counselled ail whose situ ation permitted to seek a purer atmosphere, he was among the first to obey its admonitions, j But, alas, the disease had marked him among "g"" ■ ~ ; ‘ * d i, am ‘d the promise ot a bright and prosperous y future, and surrounded by all that usually makes i life desirable and happy. With high intellectua 1 [j K’fts, ol studious habits, of bland temper tuid - blameless file, he was moving oil with steady », step to the iiist tank at the bar, when his career - was brought to an untimely dose. In his grave > lie buried the fondest affections, and the highest i hopes that were ever withered by the icy hand - of Death. He was an Alumnus of Yale College, i at which institution he took the first honor "of ' his dass when he graduated. He died in the thirtieth year of his age. ’ , Ihe hearthstone thusfSleso.'ated was soon en | veioped instill deeper shadow. The tragical f fate of John Felix McKinne, is yet in the mem ' ° f y ot ali - He was the half-brother of James G. [ Gould, whose loss h>j had been so recently called « on to deplore, and the eldest son of the mother al t ready so heavily stricken. He was the playmate of our childhood, and endekred to us by a thousand associations of early companionship, in addition to I the ties of kindred. He will long be remember ed kindly by his friends, for his genial qualities and unselfish nature, while his immediate family deplore in him the loss of one who, as a son and a brother, was invariably kind, affectionate and devoted. He died in the forty-first year of his age. At the time of his death he held the po sition of discount Clerk in the Bank of Augusta. Thus much of more immediate personal inter est have we ventured to obtrude on the public, ! believing the tribute we thus pay to the depart- ' ed will not be unwelcome to this community. ' I here were other deaths in our community pe culiarly afflicting and impressiye, of which our sympathy for bereaved inerids tempt us here to I speak. But wefoibear indulgence, in the expres- i sion of feelings which might be considered an in trusion on private griefs. After awaiting the <»n- j valescence ol others near and dear to us, who were I j P rostn *ted by the epidemic, we returned to our ! j family in the interior of the State, there im- ! j Patiently to await the announcement that abseil- ; j tees couid return to the city in safety. We aie again at home, prepared with a chas- j tened but hopeful spirit, to resume our part in the great aggregate of labors and responsibilities which devolve on the community, and contribute to its life, energy and prosperity. The pesti lence has left indelible traces upefn the hearts and affections of those who have been called on to mourn. Even Time, “ the great consoler,” as a famous sceptic has designated it, will scarcely i suffice to obliterate its footstepis. This is the '• blessed,office of Religion alone. It at least can 1 soothe, if not heal, wounds otherwise immedica- ! bie. But the business interests of Augusta vviJl again spring up, elastic, from beneath the recent pressure, and move forward with their wonted vigor and prosperity. Increased energy, and a prudent economy can. in most cases, retrieve the losses which a suspension of business, tor near two months, has necessarily entailed. In a year lrom this time, scarcely a trace oi the visi tation will be left on the business aspect of the community. For all, especially for the indus trious poor, we cordially wish a return of com fortable and healthy homes, and ample remuner ation for their labors in their respective pursuits. In conversing around their cheerful firesides this winter, over the melancholy incidents of the past summer, may their reflections take a saluta ry turn. May.they conclude that it is the part of wisdom to live with such prudent frugality and lorethought, as will prepare them to lay up means to meet any sudden calamity which might again throw them out of employment—that it is the highest wisdom so to live that* the greatest of earthly changes—Death itself—may | he looked at calmly, as a calamity ta surviving friends void of terror to the dying. Our present task would be incomplete, did we omit the expression of our obligations to those who remained steadily at ttieir posts in this office, during the entire period of the epidemic. Those whose services we would thus acknowledge arei Mr. Georoe Roberts, Engineer and Pressman, who, during the fever, superadded to these duties that of foreman and compositor, and Theodork Refo, a journeyman printer, who completed his term of apprenticeship in this office ; William Bailey, an apprentice; Mr. John Buford, our Mail Clerk; Mr. S. H. Crump, our Book Keeper, and last but not least,Mr. Samuel M. Thompson, t Commercial Editor of this paper. When the panic was at its height, and the prospect was gloomiest for the regular issue of our daily sheet, he man fully volunteered to remain and carry on the business of our office, though he should be re duced to a single compositor. He redeemed his pledge, and though hfs labors and cares in the office were very arduous, bbSily and mental, he yet was among the foremost and most efficient of the Good Samaritan Society, in visiting and ministering comforts to the sick poor of our city. His zeal,and public during the. whole of this trying season, will long be remembered. He had won for himself a double claim upon our sympathies and those of the community, when it was announced that the dread pestilence had invaded his hearthstone, and that his eldest son, Willis Guieu Thompson, an amiable and inter esting youth of eighteen, was stricken down- Could the kind wishes and anxious hopes of troops of friends have availed aught, young Thompson would have long been spared to be the pride and solace of Ins parents. But it was decreed otherwise, and he, too, was numbered among the victims of the fell Destroyer. The Mails. We have suffered much, and so has our read ers, from the recent irregularities of the mail.— Again we have to notice the failure oi the Northern yesterday afternoon. Ourselves. Most of our old force are again at thoir post, ] and on Tuesday we hope to be able to commence our secand editiou'agsriu. As soon as our Cot ton market fairly re-opens we will commence the report of daily transactions. Alligator Hotel. This is the name of establishment, opened | during the epidemic, about three miles from the city, by Mr. John Wellauer, and we understaud has done a thriving business. We are requested to say that on Monday the establishment will be removed to the city, and the proprietor can be found at his old stand, opposite the Post office.

If the attendance on Saturday is a fair . ; index, their friends are numerous. The Macon Journal & Messenger says r— ‘We are authorized to state, that the Marine Bank of Savannah will give SI,OOO for the ap prehension and delivery to any of its officers, of Samuel D. Scovill, who absconded from this place on the 29th ult., with SIO,OOO of the funds of that-institution. We give below a descrip tion of the person of the Tugitive, which has been furnished us by the officers of the Agency of the Marine Bank in this city : “ Scovill is 26 years old, 5 feet 4 inches high, has brown hair, light blue or gray eyes, a long flat head and good forhead, and weighs 135 ni.uanoi mfxipperTronFleeth are defective.— He speaks and walks quickly, and when he left was dressed in a black dress coat, black pants and dark over coat.

' “ Our exchanges in this and other States of the South and West, if they copy this paragraph, may enable some worthy person to detect the ras cal, and to secure the liberal reward which has been offered by the Bank.” The Telegraph Wires in Ettrope.— lt ap pears from a letter in the Newark (N. J.) Ad vertiser, that Austiia has now 3000 miles of tel egraph in operation, PrOssia has 4000, and Swit zerland a proportionate greater number. But all Europe together cannot etjual the 17,000 miles of wires which are-spreaifover the United States. Ihe wires in these countries generally run | through leaden tubes under the ground, and not : on tall poles, as with us. The sub-marine Med iterranean line is now nearly complete, so that | the Islail<{ of Corsica, Sardinia, and Malta, and the French possessions cn the African coast, will, soon be brought within the line of telegraphic correspondence. The Holy See and the King of Naples have just adopted a series of rules in re flation to telegraphic correspondence between their respective dominions, in which it is provi ded thet either government, may at any moment suspend, for an indeterminate time, the working ot a line, and moreover, that the superintendents must be made acquainted with the names and character of individuals who offer communica tions, and that no despatches which in their judgment, muy be contrary to the security of the State, to its religion, to good morals,-or public order, can be accepted* Communications cannot ! exceed 100 words, and must be written in Ital- ! ian, with indelible ink, and without erasures or ' abreviations. With those restrictions the pub- ; lie can use the telegraph at all times and hours, | night or day, including Sundays and Fejes. The-! tariff of prices prescribed about 5 cents (Ameri- ! lor each word in a despatch of 25 words, 1 (the lowest number to be reckoned,) for a dis tance of 100 miles, and 10 cents for 200 miles. Ihe charge is doubled for 50 words. The rate is most favorable for 100 words. Late London papers report that Father Mat thew arrived in that city from Cork,on his route to Madeira, whether he was going for tl*? bene fit ot his health. The accounts state that the Rev. gentleman, although much broken down by the painful disease under which he has so long suffered lacks not the cheerful spirits for which he was always remarkable. It is to be hoped that the sunny climate to which he goes may contribute to the restoration of his health. It has been suggested that American medical ! students, who cannot well afford the expense of I a course in Paris, would find much benefit by availing themselves of tire institutions of Flo- j rence, where the cost of living is next to no thing. Many, though certainly not all, of the advantages which Paris affords, it is stated may "be found there, and a young man of moderate I habits can live comfortably, winter or summer, lor from sls to S2O per month, everything ne- j cessary included; some who are pursuing the! arts there live for considerable less than tlii3. The Richmond Despatch states that a detch ment of United States*seamen, on board the steamer City of Richmond, on her last trip from Philadelphia to Norfolk, broke open the hatches after night, and procuring liquor, became quite desperate until the officers armed themselves and restored quiet. During the ntfelee, one man was dangerously wounded by a sheath knife. I On Saturday, says the Washington Star, the Second Comptroller of the Treasury decided that on the death ot one of a firm to whom money was owing by the Government, it must be paid to the survivor rather than to the Administrator of the deceased. c Two Girls Eloped with Indians. —The Co lumbus Fact states that recently a band ot In dians gave performances in Somerset, Ohio, and that two girls, sisters, w-ere so captivated with the “dance and the whoop of these sons ot nature,” that they asked permission to accom pany them, which being gallantly granted, they proceeded as far as Putnam, when they were overtaken by the mother of the girls, a spry widow who called on the police to aid her in recovering her “ wild going” daughters. But alas for woman’s resistance to love’s appeals when pressed in that eloquence and those signs of natural affection and slimplicity which these native sons of the forest could bring to bear ! After a little ‘ talk” and a private interview with the chiefs, the mother discharged the po lice, and made a “ willing heart” to follow the Indian “ men” to their western camp. Know Nothingism. The Boston Correspondent of the Charleston Courier under date of the 6th inst., speaking of the state of parties in Massachusetts writes: The Know Nothings have generally coalesced .with the Free Soi ers througout the State.— A beautiful expo-e of the influence of this secret society was made the other day at a trial in Lowell. Judge Bishop presided. A Dr.- Norman Smith was on the witness stand. The following questions were ask ed him by the Council. Q. D<> you belong to a secret society opposed to aliens? A. I do —to a society which is calculated to exercise a political influence. Q. Does it exert a religious influence ? A. Some think it does. Q. Can a Roman Catholic join that Socie ty? A. No—it he is a foreigner. Q Can he it he is an American 1 A. No! q. Can he if his wife is a Catholic and he is Protestant ? A. No! q. What is the object of the Society ? A.

The Republican says ; Apache Indians, who had gathered on the west side of the Rio del Norte, near the scene of Col. Cooke’s fight. The numbered one hundred lod ges, and, it is said, were anxious to meet the Americans in battle again. Gen. Garland had oidered three companies to occupy as manv dif ferent points near them, and to be in easy'con centrating distance. The force, it was expected would be about ISO strong, enough, it was be lieved, with good managemet, to whip the In dians, as they deserve to be. The Savannah Georgian of Wednesday thus alludes to the services of Mr. Clark, its Fore man : “In announcing the departure of Mr. Alexan der of the Republican, (compelled to leave by debility.) in our issue of September 29th, after alluding to the painful circumstances by virtue of which we found ourselves the only on« then remaining in the city “of the eight or nine mem bers composing the editorial corps of Savannah at tne commencement of summer” we then ad ded : Ihe difficulties and trials throughout which we have had to struggle, may furnish matter for another chapter— to be written after the epidem ic has taken its departure. s7 We recur to this subject now, not for the pur pose of writing that “chapter, 77 hut because un willing longer to wit-hold’a merited tribute fiom one to whom this office is under the deepest ob • We allude to its Foreman, who unit ed with himself all the elements which go to form the character of a gentleman, a f riend, and oi a faithful ar.d invaluable employee, though unknown to fame, does no discredit to the name which his uncles, Louis and Willis Gaylord Clark, have made honorable. To Mr. Isaac S Clark, our readers owe it more than to any one else, that the Georgian has been issued, without interruption, throughout the whole progress ot the late epidemic.

The market for several days preceding the date of our last re port exhibited a languid and drooping appearance, and the transactions, particularly in the lower grades, did not sustain the prices current at an earlier date, the quotations under Good Middling having receded in value about an i to jc. at the close of the week. From that period up to the close of business on Monday afternoon the market generally did not show much activity, but the transactions indicated no change in the position of affairs as developed by our quotations of the 3d inst. There was a decided improvement in tho de mand during Tuesday and Wednesday, which was in a measure promoted by the anxiety manifested by some of our holders to sell, and throughout both days the operations were attended by a good deal of irregularity in prices, and made, at a decline of near je. on most qualities. Yesterday, however, the market exhibited some degree of firmness, and buyers could not operate with the facility that characterized the transactions of tho two previous days. The market at the close of the week shows a decline of about jc on the Inferior and Ordinary to Good Ordinary qualities, owing to their com partive abundance, while the Middling sorts are scarcely an jth easier. The quotations we offer he low will approximate as near as possible to thu true position of the market at its close yesterday. The receipts since our last comprise 11,945 bales, and the sales in the same time may be estimated as follows, viz: Friday, 770 bales; Saturday, 379; Monday, 700; Tuesday, 1100; Wednesday, 1205: and Thursday, 1614—making an aggregate of 5828 bales, at the subjoined prices; 5 bales at 6; 9 at6|; 17 at 62; 38 at 6j; 83 at 7; 440 at 7j; .55 at 7|; 194 at 74; 357 at 72; 103 at 7f; 258 at 7; 128 atSj; 579 at Si; 21 at 8J; 364 at Si; 150 at 8|; 600 at 82; 95 atBJ: 586 at 9; 80 at 9J; 400 at 9j; 129 at 9J; 162 at 91; 580 at9|; 128 at 9|; and 81 bales at 9| cts. We quote Inferior, —; Ordinary to Good Ordinary, 7 a 7J; Low to Strict Middling, 8j a 9; GoocDMid dling, 9j a 9j; Middling Fair, 9£ a 9s, and Fair, 9j a _. Nothing of interest lias transpired since our last, so far as the Long Cotton market is con cerned. Holders during the week have manifested some anxiety to sell, but their viows in relation to prices are so different .from those of buyers, that they have-not, been able to come to terms. Corn —There is still a fair supply of the old crop on hand, which holders are anxious to sell, before the new crop reaches the market, and arc conse quently indifierent about buying, unless at lower prices, to which consignees havo been compelled to submit, The receipts, which comprise 5,000 bushels, have been sold at 75 and 77c , and about an equal quantity was sold from store at 76 cents per bushel. Flour —The stock of Flour is unusually light for the advanced state of the season, and holders havo been able to obtain a decided improvement on last week’s prices. The transactions, so far as we have been able to learn, have been confined solely to country brands, and to barrels, at prices • ranging from to $9 per bbl. Bacon —The receipts in the past fortnight, but particularly during the week ju& dosed, have , been heavy, which has depressed the market, and urices for both Sides aud Shoulders have declined. The market, which opened at 82 and 9 cents for the former, closed yesterday, dull, at 81 a 8j cents for prime, and SIR 8| for common. The latter, which was selling at 7i and 8 cents, dropped in value to 7a 7j cents. Hams command our quota tions, as in quality. Lard —Small lots have been selling to the trade at prices ranging from 11£ a 12ic. for bbls. and kegs. Halt. —Received since our last, 1,945 sacks. The stock has been materially reduced by rocent trans actions Sales have boon made this week at prices ranging from $1.35 a I 40. gnd as high as $1.50 per sack, according to quantity. Molasses —About 132 hhds. Cuba, arrived the previous week, is being shipped coastwise. Some i2O hhds. of Cuba, part of the cargo of the Spanish polacre Cassamira, put into this port in distress, were sold at auction on the 7th inst., at pr ; ces ranging from 16 a 17^c —nearly 100 hhds bringing the former price. We learn that New Orleans of the new crop has been sold to arrive at 32 and 33c., and the old crop at 24 and 25c. per gallon. About 300 bbls. have been received this week, of which 50 whole and 90 half bbls. were of the new crop, the first that has reached the market this season. Freights —The current rate to Liverpool during tho week has been a farthing for Cotton in square bags. A vessel was engaged a few days since to load for Havre at fc. for Cotton, and $1 j per 600 lbs. lor Rico. The New York rate is |c. tor Cot ton, and $1 for Rice; and to Boston |c. for the for mer, and flic, per tierce for tho latter.
