[From the National Intelligencer of Friday ) Death of Mrs. Hamilton. Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton, the venerable and universally respected relict of Alexander Hamil ton, clased her earthly career at her residence in this city yesteiday morning, the 9th instant, at lour o’clock. She was the second daughter of the distinguished Gen. Philip S. Schuyler, of Al bany. and was born on the 9th day of August, 1757. She was married to Alexander Hamilton, then one of the aids ol Gen. Washington, with the rank*of Lieutenant Colonel, on the 9th De cember, 1780, there being not quite a year's dif ference in their ages. They lived together in the enjoyment of every blessing that could ren der wedded life happy for twenty-four years, and she survived her lamented and distinguished hus band more than half a century. To estimate her character properly, it is necessary to bear in mind that of the individual who had selected bei from the many who would have been proud ol the distinction of his notice, as the companion ol his life,-#and tDat character we find so beautiful ly portrayed by a single touch o; the magic pen cil of Mr. Webster, that we give it as exhibiting v in a few words the judgment of one whose pow er of discrimination was seldom surpassed. Af ter speaking of Colonel Hamilton as a hero of the Revolution, a jurist, and statesman, Mr. W. said ‘•Hamilton was placed at the head ol the Irea surv Department. He carried on the Govern ment finances; he smote the rock of national re “ rces afU i flourishing streams ol revenue pour forth He touched the dead corpse ol public credit, and it sprang into life. The fabled work j of Minerva from the brain of Jove was not more perfect than the financial system of the United I Stated which sprung from the conception of j Alexander Hamilton.” It was this great man j who sought aud won Elizabeth Schuyler, and j that lact is enough to*show her worth. But, had j she been no more than aa ordinarily endowed woman, it would have been impossible to have passed twenty-four years of happy intercourse i with such a husband without having her mind i richly stored from the treasures of his mighty in- I tellect; and those who knew her even in her de clining years will be ready to testify that she was a rare example of the wisdom taught hy ob servant experience, and a bright example of all womanly graces. Her benevolence was most exemplary, and one of the finest manifestations of it was her bas it, to within a few months of her death, of making occasional visits to all the schools of the city, and she never did so without imparting some moral lesson, which showed how deep an iuterest she took in the welfare of the country which her husband had contributed so largely to make free and independent. Mrs. Hamilton lived to the very advanced age of nine ty-seven years and three months, and died with out a struggle, in full communion with the Epis copal Church, and surrounded by her surviving children. ° By a coincidence, which we give to our read ers the benefit, we met with yesterday in an ex change paper, toon after we received notice of the death of the venerable lady whose decease is announced above,the annexed letter which she received Irom Col. Hamilton just before her mar- ; riage. Relating to one of the most touching in cidents in our Revolutionary history, it will be ! read at this moment with peculiar interest.— Not only does it show that Hamilton dissented from the stern decree of the Council of Judges as to the mode ol Andre’s fate, but it sheds a strong : light on the nobleness of his heart: Mr. Hamilton to Miss Schuyler. Tappin, October 2, 1789, \ Headquarters of the Army, j * * * # Poor Andre suffers to-day.— Every thing that is amiable in virtue, in fortitude, in delicate sentiment and accomplished manners, plead for Jpm ; but hard-hearted policy calls for a sacrifice. He must die. I send you my ac count of Arnold’s affair; and to justify mystflf to your sentiments, I must inform you that I urged a compliance with Andre’s request to be shot, and I do not think it would have had ill-ef fect. But some people are only sensible to mo tives of policy, and sometimes, from a narrow disposition, mistake it. When Ar.dre’s tale comes to be told, and pre sent resentment is over, the refusing him the privilege of choosing the manner of his death will be branded with too much obstinacy. It was proposed to me to suggest to him the idea of an exchange lor Arnold ; but I knew I should have forfeited his esteem by doing it, and therefore declined it. As a man of honor he could not but reject it; and I would not lor the world have proposed to him a thing which must hive placed me in the unamiable light of sup posing him capable of meanness, or of not feeling myself the impropriety of the measure. I con fess to you I had the weakness to value the es teem of a dying man, because I reverenced his merit. A. Hamilton. Planting Trees— By L. Wyman, Jr. As the season for transplanting trees will soon demand our attention, a few practical hints de rived from experiment may not be without pro fit to the interested. The inquiry is frequently made by our friends, “How do you transplant a fruit tree to make it live ? I cannot make half my fruit trees live.” In thelfirst place, it is very easy to make a tree ljye if you understand how. Many persons imagine that there is but little difference between the planting of a tree and a stake ; until they are taught by two or three lessons of disappoint ment. A case in point will show that knowl edge*is indispensable to success. A farmer not more than thirty miles frofii the city of Boston, had an orchard of trees to plant, aud wishing to have them live and thrive, em ployed or engaged the services of an experienced gardener to transplant his trees. The gardner prepared the soil, and set out on the first day ten trees only ; (the trees were of lare size for nur sery trees.) out of one hundred and twenty-five, which were to be planted. The owner of the trees was sadly disappointed, at nightfall in find ing “ but ten trees out of the lot , set out and more so at the price charged by the gardner (two dollars and fifty cents per day) for his work. Accordingly he discharged him, and concluded to set out the trees hiqrtself. Now mark the re su't. Ten years afterwards, the same man was at work in the same orchard, when a gentleman riding past, stopped to examine the trees. After attentively looking at them for a few moments, he asked the owner why he did not plant t e whole orchard at the time he planted this row ol large and thrifty, full-bearing trees near the wail, which were large and vigorous, while the others were small and spindling : observing,“had 3 T on planted your whole orchard at that time, you would have been much benefitted thereby.” “These trees,” said the owner, -‘were all planted at the same time ; but I employed a competent gardener to plant out the ten you admire, while the rest were put out by myself, because I thought he was too slow, and charged too much; but if I had given him his price—yes, even doubled it, for ten days, I should have been greatly the gainer ; for, of these ten trees, any one ol them would have more than repaid the whole expense.” The stranger smiled as he observed, "I am the gardener who set out these trees for you : and I thought you would learn, sooner or later, that it required more knowledge to set out an apple tree, and to have it grow, and bear well, than it did to plant a post; or, in other words, that whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” To set out, or transplant a fruit tree with the expectation of having the same live and thrive, ! requires only a little care and a little knowledge; I but that little constitutes the whole matter, and j is all important. The following method has been successfully | pursued by myself lor sjme considerable length of time and, 1 think, can be adhered to with a good degree of confidence, as to a favorable re sult. ; First, the hole for a moderate sized tree,should | made of from thiee to five feet in diameter, ; and ol sufficient depth so receive all the roots | and rootlets, without cramping or bending the | tame; giving them, as nearly as possible,°their | original position and inclination. It is better to ! deprive the tree of a portion ol its roots, than ;to cramp or bend them. Place the tree in the ' same position in the hole that it occupied in the i nursery, but not too deep. Many in-experienc -1 ed persons loose their trees from 100 dqip set i ting , and do not know the true reason. A tree should be set no deeper than when in its origi nal position in the-nursery. If any of the toots are bruised or broken, saw or cut them off' smoothly with a sharp knife; balancing the tops by removing the largest shoots. Use good food compost as a manure in setting out and fill in the finely pulverized mould close ly about the roots. To make sure that there are no hollows around the roots, it is best to use the hand to introduce the fine earth around the small fibrous roots gently shaking the tree, until it be comes quite firm ol itself. Any neglect at this stage of transplanting is an error, which will be sure to be seen in the after growth ofitbe tree. As a general thing, I have not used water in transplanting trees, and do not recommend its use, except when setting out quite a large tree* then I use water—say one paiful, when°the tree is partly set out, or the hole a little more than half filled up with earth. I wait until the wa ter has dried in or become absorbed, before fill. ! ingup; but never make a “ mud pudding,” by throwing in the earth immediately after the wa j ter. In small size trees, I prefer muck, litter, sedge, as a letainer of moisture instead of wa ter. I have found, by experience, that too fre quent watering applied to the surface tends to harden the earth, aud proves injurious to the tree. In frostly locations, it you fear a lifting of the tree, a small mound raised in the fall around the stem of the tree will remedy this evil. Re member to remove this earth in the spring. ’ . In very wet, black soil such as lands border ing upon meadows, where there may be annual overflows ot water, a qantity of stones placed upon the bottom of the boles before setting the trees will be beneficial, aud often of much con sequence to the future thrift of the tree. in very gravelly or rocky soil, it is best to’di* oitt—say one or two cart loads df the earth and remove it; filling its place with rich garden mould ; and our word for it, you will be°much benefitted thereby. True, there is some labor attending this operation ; but you are planting a tree, perhaps, for futu e gnerations, the fruit of which you may never taste; but they who come after you will bless the labors of your hands, while they regale themselves with the fruit of ! your industry. By attending to the above general hints, you cau ensure to yourself not only a pleasant shade tree, but a profitable bearer; and if so, you will be of your mind (so far as fruit trees are concern ed,) that when the trees is transplanted well. “ it is done, if well done;” it not. why you will soon find it out.— The Soil of the South. AUGU ST A, jGEOKGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 15. The New York Elections. There is one feature in the Gubernatorial elec tion in the Empire State, which teaches factious Democrats a salutary lesson. This is the meagre; vote received by Greene C. Bronson, the “Hard” can idate. After all the calumnies and abuse, by himself and friends, industriously put forth against the President, they have succeeded in convincing but a small portiou of the people that theirs was a meritorious cause, and worthy the countenance of honest men. In fact, the num ber of those who voted for Bronson, who be lieve the President deserving the denunciations which that clique have poured out upon him, must be smali indeed. The opposition to the President was not based on ah honest convic tion, that he was not sound upon the constitu tional questions involving Southern rights. It was not based on a suspicion, that the President was either too tolerant of Fiee-soil principles, or the advocates of them. But it was the off spring of previous feuds among New York Dem ocrats, in which each party hoped to enlist the President, and monopolize for itself all his favor. He wisely ignored ail distinctions between “Hards” and “Softs” as creating peculiar claims on his favor, and declined applying any other test of orthodoxy than a frank and honest support of the Democratic platform on the principles ol which he was-elected. This New York election is an effectual extin guisher of these distinctions among Democrats in that State, so far as the people are concerned^— There will be private griels and heart-burnings among chieis of cliques and factions; but the body of the party will again become united in action as they are homogeneous in principle. The vote for Gov. Seymour, whether he is elected or not, which is still in doubt, is under all the peculiar and embarrassing excitements of the canvass, an encouraging one for the future of the Democratic party. Notwithstanding the general success of the Fusionists and anti-Ne braskaists, the Seward party are mortified at the result. The New York Tribane is sorely disap pointed, and speaks of the results as a disaster. The Weather. The long looked for, and long wished for, visit of our old friend Jack Frost, occurred yesterday morning. Like most of his visits, he did not confine himsell to any particular part of the city, but took a general round. Knowing his charac ter and habits as well as we do, we should not be surprised if he paid us another visit this morn ing. He is, generally, a welcomed visitor on his first or second appearance, particularly after such a summer as we have passed through, but for the benefit of ourselves and the poor, we hope from this time until spring sets in, he will make his visits few and far between. Money is scarce and wood is high, ar/d without either, he is an unwelcorned visitor at all times, save when his I presence is required to put an end to a fatal or prevailing epidemic. Eagle &. Phoenix Hotel. It will be seen by the card of the proprietor that this well known establishment is again re opened. Mr. Prescott and his worthy lady, is noted for keeping a good table and attentive ser vants. All the Hotels in our city are now open, and are dally filling up with customers. The Fair Week will commence on the first Monday in December, and visitors need be under no appre hension that they cannot be accommodated, as we have open and in opeiation eight hotels for transient customers, Hind any number of Private Boarding Houses. Augusta Manufacturing Company. We are requested to state, for the information of absent operatives and others concerned,that the Mills ol the Augusta Manufacturing Company will be re-opened afid work resumed on Monday, the 20th instant. We are also requested to say, that operatives desiring employment may have an opportunity of securing permanent engagements by apply ing at the Mills at any time during this month, after next Monday. Health of Charleston. The Board of Health repoit the interment of 21 persons iu Charleston during the week ending the 11th inst. Seven whites and fourteen blacks —six of the whites by Yellow Fever. Package Sale of Glassware. We would call the attention to the extensive package sale of Glassware advertised in this day’s paper by T. M. Cater, to take place in Charles ton. on Wednesday, the 29th inst. Dealers would do weil to bear this sale in remembrance New Books. We have received from Messrs. T. Richards & Son, the following receut publications : The Newsroy. New York— lßs4. This work has received much commendation from the press. It details the history of one of that well-known class ot society in New York The Newsboy. It is a handsome volume, and will, no doubt, be read with interest. The Wide-Awake Gift, and Know-Nothing Token. Edited by " One of ’Em.” 1854. This is a compilation ol Patriotic Speeches and Poetry, in relation to America. It contains | Washington’s Farewell Address, and selections ! from various oratories of distinguished men of a I “ native” character. Most of the selections wil* | be found familiar friends by our readers, and will ! forcibly bring back their school days to their memories. A neat volume, containing several j engravings. At the burial of Marshal de St. Arnaud the i flags of France and Euglaud, for the first time in history, covered the same coffin, and Mussel -1 man cannon resounjled in sign of grief at the ! funeral of a Christian general. The Mail Service. —We are Duly gratified to learn (says the Charleston Courier) that at a ; meeting yesterday of the Directors of the South j Carolina Rail Road Company, it was resolved tocary the mails until January next, by which j time it is hoped that the existing difficulties will | be satisfactorily adjusted. A movement is now on foot iu Canada to pro j cure the passage of a bill by Parliament, now in • session, similar to that proposed for the United States by the homestead bill. Gov. Broome has issued a proclamation, re ! commending the people of Florida to observe Thursday, the 23d day of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. I he New York Academy of Medicine, through the liberality of a few of its members, offers a prize of SIOO for the best essay on “The Nature and Treatment of Cholera Infantum,” to be presented duriog the ensuing year. The trial for the prize is not restiicted to the fellows, but is open to the profession throughout the country. The Lor Jon cotrespondenfc of the Boston Post states that an order in Couucii will shortly ap- j pear, announcing the intensions of the British government to institute a much stricter blockade next year of the Russian ports, or at least to adopt such measures as will prevent the produce of Russia coming either directly or indirectly in to the United Kingdom. It is certain that the supplies of some articles, tallow for example, have been as large this tear as though no block ade had ever existed. How this has happened is easily told. There was no measure adopted to prevent the transport of Russian staples across the Prussian frontiers, and every inducement therefore existed for the commercial men in-the north of Germany to employ their capital in the trade. The exports of Russia are valued at about $65,000,000 yearly, and though by no means the whole, or even the greater part ot these cannot be prevented from leaving the country, they can nevertheless be forced into, such a circuitous route, as will deprive the Russian merchants and proprietors of nearly all their profits. Last year it was thought inexpedient to adopt this course, and accordingly English capitalists made their usual advances for the purchase of produce in the interior of Russia during the winter, to be ready for shipment in the spring. The prohibi tion of importations last year would have resul ted in great loss to Londonmerchants, whereas now the loss would fall entirely on Russian mer chants. A communication from Mr. Norris, the cele brated locomotive engine builder appears in the Philadelphia Ledger, relative to Mr. Phleger’s improved locomotive engine for burning anthra cite coal. Trial trips were made between Gray's Ferry and the Susquehanna river, and in making the round trip to the Susquehanpa and back to Gray’s Ferry, 120 miles, the locomotive only consiyxied 4,000 lbs. of coal, worth $lO. — The same trip, with wood wfould have consumed four cords, costing $24, a difference in favor ot coal ol sl4 in a trip of 125 miles. Therefore, to take 300 trips in a year, would be a saving of $4,200 a year for each engine. Reduction of Fare.— lt will be seen by an advertisement in another column that the New York and Savannah Steamship Company have reduced the fare on their ships, and propose to carry passengers to New York for S2O, in the cabin, and $8 in the steerage. The splendid ships of this line, (says the Savannah Republi can) have always offered great inducements to travelers in the way of safety and excellent tare, and at the reduced rates we do not know what more can be asked lor to enable them to secure a large amount of travel. The Vintage in France. We learn from the Boston Courier that an ar ticle published in a French paper in one of the vine growing districts, represents the prospect ß of the vintage as much more favorable than had been anticipated. Although the quantity of grapes grown were every where far short of the ordinary supply, the quality in consequence of the long continued fine weather with which the season had closed, had been so much improved in many districts as to compensate in a considera ble degree for the deficiency in quantity. It was at one time apprehended that the wine made would not be sufficiently alcoholic, but this ap prehension was removed by the effects ot a suc cession of dry and warm days, so that the culti vators who usually devoted their wine to the purpose of distillation, were able to resort to the manufacture of wine for drinking. Fortunately for the success of this change of manufacture, uot a drop of rain fell during the season ot vintage, and in districts where the crop had been con sidered almost entirely lost, it was anticipated at the latest date, that from a quarter to a third of the ordinary product would be realized This favorable state of the weather it was also antici pated would have the salutary effect of greatly diminishing if not curing the disease of the vine against another year The Rights of Rail Road Passengers to Seats. The Marine Court of Ne:v York has rendered an important decision in favor of right of rail road conductors in ejecting passengers from seats into which they had obtruded themselves. Two men sued the Hudson Riv®r Railroad Comfatfy for SSOO damage each for assault and Lise im prisonment. The facts are, that they came on the cars at Sing Sing, where they had drank more liquor than was necessary to improve their manners. The seats in the cars were all occu pied, but a gentleman had left his seat to enjoy a cigar in the baggage car, and this seat the plain tiffs took possession of, and refused to give it up when called upon, and when applied to by the Conductor, used profane and obscene language offensive to ladies. Upon this the Conductor, with necessary assistance, ejected the parties from their seats, and, to prevent tbeir violence, confined them in a small room, until the train arrived in the city. For this the action was brought. The Court justified the action of the Conductor and dismissed the suit. This decision recognizes, for the first time by a Ccrvrt ol jus tice, the right of a “through passenger’ 7 toffiis seat. (Jwmmenting on the above, the Baltimore American says : “It is really annoying to be suddenly dispos sessed of a seat after having occupied it nearly to your journey’s end. We have witnessed some singular scenes in regard to seats, and it would be an important invention it some plan could be hit upon, which would obviate the difficulty. It frequently happens that passengers leave a coat, a bag, an umbrella, or some other article as a no tice that the seat is occupied, and we have seen them thrust aside with perfect indiiference.— Ladies, though usually polite,' seldom take the slightest notice of these warnings that a seat is taken, and pounce into it with as much confi dence as they would if the car were empty.— We have seen this done more than once, arid a famjly, or a party separated by the intrusion.” Crime in Great Bri fian. — The Offences and the Offenders. —The statistics of crime in Great Britain lor 1853, have just appeared. The tables, together with the remarks, embody much inter esting information. The commitments and con victions for the last five years were as follows: 1849 27.816 I 1853 26.057 1850 26,813 1851 .-27,960 Total.. 137,156 1852 27,510 During the year, eight persons were executf&. All were males, and were convicted of murders ot aggravated character. One for the murder ing of aged couple, lor the purpose of plundering their dwelling. One for the murder of an aged tamale during the hour of divine service, and plundering the rectory house in her charge; two lor murder and robbery under circumstances pre meditation ; two for the murder of their wives; one for the murder, the only apparent motive Tor which was revenge. The continued increase in the proportion of females was the subject of particular remark in the tables for the year 1852. The increase has been usually large in 1853 the proportion in that year having risen from 25-7 to 29-5 females to 100 males; while twenty years since it was on ly 18-8 females to the 100 males. Indeed, the decrease of 1-2 per cent, in the commitments in in 1853 stands thus if shown with respect to the sexes of those committed: males decrease 4-6 per cent; females increase 9-8 per cent. i Rain.—On Saturday night a steady rain set in about 8 o’clock, and ouJ streets were soo flood ! ed bv copious showers, which con'inued with slight intermissions until last night, the clouds still portending that more would follow befme j this morning. The quantity that fell up to 7 | A. M. yesterday measured 1 ir.ch and 363 thous- I | andths ; and from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. 694 thous- j | andths—making for the 25 hours, two inches and fifty seven thousandths, rain guage.— Savan- ! 1 nuh Republican , 13 th inst. i New Locomotive.—There was landed yes | terday on the Eastern wharf, from the schr.

We understand that the E. T. & Va.

The progress of the work on this road has been most gratifying. The iron for the track, we learn is expected at Savannah early the ensuing year. —Knoxville Statesman, 1 Uh inst. , Fire—Last evening about seven o’clock, a one story wooden building occupied by a colored cooper, and situated near the Rice Vlill of R. T. Chisolm, Esq., and the property of that gentle man, was destoyed by fire. The loss is about S3OO, and the amount is supposed to be insured. There was no fire place in the building. The fire, however, is thought to have been accidental. Char. Cour., 14 th irnst. [From the Savannah Georgian , 14,A inst.] A New Feature in Political Canvassing— A Declaration of Independence. An interesting feature (to us, of the press, at least) of the late veryranimated conte,t for the mayoralty, and other officers in New York city, is that the claims of the different candidates were advocated by paid advertisements inserted in the different papers. Wood, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, (or his friends) hired tor .several weeks the use of one whole column of the Sun, the very paper against whose editor, a few days before the election, Wood instituted a prosecution lor libel. This hired column was daily filled with arguments in favor of Wood— while the editor was exerting himself to the ut most to accomplish Wood’s defeat. Ocher jour nals contained in the same issue, long advertise ments setting toith the cl ims ot each of a half dozen contesting aspirants. And why not ? Why should not candidates for offices of profit, who are to enjoy the emoluments ot those offices, pay for the instiumentalities by which their success is secured ? if tbe chief ol these instrumentalities be the columns of the press, why should these gentlemen expect to ob tain the use of those calumns gratis { No com munication goes into type save at the cost of the i editor oi proprietor of the journal in which it; appears. He has to pay his printers for “setting it up” : why should not this his outlay be re- | funded by those whose interests it is intended to promote? The paper oa which it is punted is j likewise a heavy charge to him: why should j not those who are benefited bear that charge 7 But suppose the friends of the candidates 1 whose psotitsand honors are at stake, instead of j advocating his claims by communications, ex- j pect them to be urged in th editorial columns by | the editor. Then ms condition is hut so much ; the worse. He is required not only to purchase paper for the gratuities service of others, and pay printers for working tor others, hut in ad dition to both he is expected to contribute his own labor. The question thus lightly touched, certainly j involves points woithy the consideration ol the editorial fraternity. We, at least, shall not I shrink from their consideration, nor Irom the conclusion to which it bring us. Henceforth,! then we shall recognize no obligation to surren- i der gratuitously the columns which coast us ; money, and tbe printers whom we weekly pay, ; to the use of men who desire office and its emol- j umerits, whether in behalf of themselves or ! shall we recognize any party's | claim upon us, as « matter of right , to advocate the election of its candidates. We will leserve the liberty of consulting our feelings: and the support which we give through our editorials, will be given, when given, as matter ol favor riot as an obligation. Os course, we shall never feel at iiberty to sacrifice our principles, nor will we under any circumstances write for pay. What we mean is, tbe friends of the candidate whose election is desired? should puff him themselves and pay for the publication of their puffs; and it not willing to do it on these terms, let them not blame us for declining the service. We shall never violate our political faith at the polls, in elections involving it, but we distinctly reserve the right, which is conceded to all Gther classes 1 but editors, of remaining silent when silence best accords with our feelings. Nor should any candidate construe that silence into any disre spect for him. We simply wish to assert for ourself the liberty which is conceded to ail oth ers, of giving utterance to our sentiments or not, ■ while munincipal or other elections are pending —without subjecting ourselves to question or reproach lor the course which may pursue.

There is a good demand for Cotton of the bighor grades, while the lower quilitios are comparatively neglected. The receipts aro still light for the season, but are daily on the increase. Th,e sales during the past week reach about 1,000 to 1,200 bales. Our’Warohouses are now open, and our Warehousemen prepared to reoeive all the Cotton sent them. Our advice to Planters is to send forward their Cotton, and have it on hand to take advantage of any change in the market for the ensuing week, we will have uumerous buyers in the market prepared to operate.£JAt the present time thore is but a limited quantity of Cotton of fering, and the daily increase in receipts will add to the selling stocks of our Merchants, and induce more buyers to enter the market.
