Resolved, That in view of the distress that
must naturally fail upon the poor and destitute
of the city, we earnestly recommend to the
Young Men of the city, whose family relations
will permit, the forming themselves into an as
sociation for the relief of the needy, and that the
Ministers of the different denominations of the
city, present the subject of relieving the wants
of the poor to their congregations on the ensu
ing Sabbath. L. L. Antony, Sec’y.
To our Subscribers.
Should any of our subscribers fail to receive
their papers by mail, it'will not be through the
want of exertions on our part. The clerks in the
post office have nearly all left, and we are com
pelled to assort our own mail in Older to get it
off. We are short handed in our office, and will
be compelled to curtail our usual quantity of
reading matter.
Our subscribers in Hamburg have not been
furnished with the daily paper, for the last three
publications, in consequence of the sickness of
the carrier. He is, however, better, and we hope
to fur.-.ish them regularly hereafter.
To Subscribers.
Our subscribers must bear with us a little
while. If it is possible we will forward them
. papers through the agency of the Post Masters
on the different Railroads. The Post Office
here is deserted, and the Psst Master is compel
led to sleep in his office in older to deliver and
receive the mails. The force at present engaged
is so limited, that it is with great difficulty the j
letters are distributed. The newspaper mail it
is impossible to touch, and should the present
state of things last much longer, unless help can
be obtained, there will ba quite an accumulation
es newspapers at this point.
rr?° We are requested to say, that the B ulks
in this city will open at ten A. M., and close at
one P. M., until fortber notice.
Aid for Savannah.
Among the contributions for the relief of the
citizens of Savannah, we observe the names of
our worthy Mayor, A. P. Robinson, and Robert
Campbell, Esq. The former contributed two
hundred and the latter five hundred dollars.
A Worthy Example.
Mr. James L. Coleman proposes to furnish
meal to the citizens of Augusta, during the pre
valence of the epidemic in our city, at cost prices,
for cash, upon application to him personally or
his address, Box 59, Post Office.
Mr. Coleman has shown great liberality in ma
king this offer, as he might, had he been so dispos
ed, have made large profits from the sale of his
meal. Those who know him however, will not
be surprised at this characteristic act of beveno
lence. He is one among our citizens, not fearing
danger, who comes forth like a man, where dis
tress reigns, and is willing to give his labor for
the relief of others.
Health of Charleston.
The Charleston Board of Health report the
deaths of one hundred and sixty perons in that
city during the week ending the 16th inst. Os
these 148 were whites and 12 colored. Os the
whites 126 died of Yellow Fever, and only one
black by the same disease.
Death of Right Rev. Bishop Gartland.
“And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying an
te mo, Write ! Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea '. saith the spirit,
that they may rest from thoir labors; and their
works do follow thorn.”
The Savannah Republican says: The Right
Rev. Francis Xavier Gartland, Roman Catholic
Bishop of the Diocess of Georgia, died at the res
idence of M. Prendergast, in this city, yesterday
morning at half-past 11 o’clock, of yellow fever.
His assistant Priests, in visiting the sick, were
gradually'withdrawn by their successive illness
until he was almost left alone to minister to his
flock. Firm at the post of duty, he pursued his
good work until he too was stricken down. His
• patience in sickness, and the calm submission to
the will of his Heavenly Master, were in keep
ing with his well spent life. In the death of
this truly good man, our community has sustain
ed a heavy loss, and his flock been visited by an
irreparable calamity in this their season of afflic
tion.
Bishop Gartland was born in Dublin, and his
parents came with him to this country while he :
was yet an infant. He was educated at Mount I
St. Marys College; entered the priesthood at I
Philadelphia; was consecrated Bishop of the |
Diocess of Georgia in 1850; arrived in this city |
in November of that year, and entered upon his |
duties with truly Christian zeal, which he con-j
tinued up to the time of bis last illness.
His relatives, now living in Philadelphia, have !
the sympathies of the bruised hearts of this dis- j
tressed community, who point them to the prom
ise of Him who “ rnaketh all things work to- j
gether for good to those who love Him.”
In Ohio the pine swamps west of Hudson
have been burning for weeks. The meadows to
the extent of several hundred acres have been
burnt out to the depth of lour feet, and will
when the swamp fills with water, become a
lake. The lire would eat under whole acres
when undermined, and, when finding vent would
burst out furiously, consuming everything with
in reach. President Pierce, oi Hudson College
went to the swamp to view the scene, when he
saw several large trees, apparently on solid
ground, commenced tumbling aiound him, and
ihe narrowly escaped with life. Tne inhabitants
in the vicinity are in a state ot utmost conster
nation.
Memphis navy-yard.—At the fast session of
Congress this naval station was tendered as a
free gift to the corporation of Memphis. The
people of the town, however, have had a public
meeting, and resolved not to decide upon the ac
ceptance ot the gilt until the people of the valley
of the Mississippi have had time to consider the
subject. They have also requested the Secretary ;
of the Navy to arrest any sale of public property :
at the navy.yard until the meeting of Congress; I
the object of these movements being, ot course,
to make a strong effort at the approaching session
for the repeal of the section giving away the
yard.
Charlestown Navy Yard.—Com. Smith, the
naval bureau, inspector of yardsand docks, visited
the navy-yard at Charlestown on Wednesday
afternoon. On enteiing the yaid, at half past 2
o’clock, he was honored with a salute. He was
received by Commodore Gregory and other offi
cers, and by them accompanied over the yard,
park and dock, The inspection was very thor
ough in every respect. Commodore Smith will
proceed to Portsmouth at once, for the purpose
of inspecting the yard at that place. The Charles
town Advertiser states that the work upon the
hew frigate is progressing steadily, thirty frames
being already set up. The sloops Saratoga and
Cyane have been hauled in. and are now under
the process of stripping. The first of these two
vessels is in the most shabby condition of any
vessel that we recollect to have arrived at this
port.
To the list of whigs rebuked in Maine must
be added the name of Noah Smith, jr., the can
didate for Congress in the sixth district. His
ark was not ready, and he is submerged in the
waters that have drowned out Reed and Farley
and all the other regular whig candidates. What
a “signal -ebuff” wbiggery has met with in
Maine I What an “overwhelming crushing ver
i diet of condemnation” has been brought in
i against it I What a “complete annihilation” of
I a party that has had the governor for two years
I last past I On the popular vote it is beaten by
I tens of thousands and is even beaten as bad on
j the congressional vote, not having chosen a sin
j gle whig member of Congress as such. Poor,
obsolete, exploded relic of past iniquities!— Bos-
I ton Post.
A letter received at St. Louis from Santa Fe
announces that Mr. F. X. Aubrey, the noted
western trader and interpid traveller, was stab
bed in a row with Major Weightman, in that
place about the 20th of -August, and died imme
diately, Aubrey had just made a trip from San
Francisco to Santa Fe, fora wager, in tweney
two days. Major Weightman was two yeats
ago, the delegate in Congress from New Mexi
co, and was an officer in the army during the
Mexican War.
Death of an Old- Printer.—John Waftt
(says the Savannah Republican) an old and re
spected Printer, died in this city yesterday, of
juandice, makinglhe seventh member ot the
craft, who bowed their heads in death during the
present Sickly season among us. Mr. Waitt was
£6 years of age, and was born in England, where
he learned his trade. Some years since he emi
gra'ed to this country, and latterly resided in Sa
vannah, continuing, up to the time of his death,
his vocation as Compositor in our morning paper
offices. He was at the close of the publication
I of the Sun in this city some years since, a co
partner in the concern. In d usGirts habits
; and cheerful in deportment, he won many friends
among his acquaintances. Peace to his ashes.
Tournament at Jordan’s Springs.—The
Charlestown (Va ) Free Press says that at the
tournament at Jordan’s Springsori Tuesday last
there was a large and brilliant company, and
everything passed off in fine style. About one
I dozen knights entered for the honor oi crown-
I ing some of the fair damsels present.
1 The knights having been paraded in front ot
the large hotel by Martin Maddux, Esq., of Al
i exandria, marshal, they were charged by Wash
< ington G. Singleton Esq., of Winchester, who
acted as president, when they started for the
tilt—Messrs. James H. Duvall, of Maryland, E.
i C. Jolliffe and Byrd Washington, of Fredrick,
I Va., acting as judges; and John W. Shultz and
Thomas D. Moore, heralds. The ring was ta
ken three times in succession by the Unknown
Knight, A. Hunter Spangler, of Warren county,
and by Highlander Knight, Washington Dear
mont, ot Clarke county. A tie occurring, a
fourth round took place, when the Unknown
Knight came off victorious, and of course achiev
i ed the honor of crowning the Q ieen of Love
: and Beauty. Hechoose for queen Miss McMo
l bine, of North Carolina. The pleasure of crow
-1 ningth? first maid of honor devolve I on Higt -
! lander, Washington Dearmont, who selected
! Miss Elizabeth Ridenour, of Jefferson.
I Samaritan Knight, Ben jamin Snyder, of
[ Clarke county, crowned Miss Janney, of Clarke
■ as second maid of honor ; and the Knight of the
i Valley, William D. Gilkerson jr., of Fredrick
county, chose Miss Kate Hurst, of Jefforson,
I third maid of honor. The queen and the maids of
| hon< r were appropriately addressed, whilst the
i wreathing was going on, by the president. The
j riding was very creditable to the knights, who
■ conducted themselves with great propriety. At
night the ball passed off pleasantly, all enjoying
themselves heartily. A great array of beauty
was present.
Gold in Vermont.—The Woodstock Age says
that there is gold in Vermont: and says that lor
the last three or four weeks from thirty to fifty
workmen, under the direction of Captain Ira F.
Payson, of Npw York, have been engaged in dig
ging into and examining the premises of Bridge
water, where gold has been discovered, and that
the result thus far has been satisfactory.
Arkansas Election.—The democrats have
carried Arkansas by an overwhelming majority.
Messrs. Rusk and Greenwood (democrats) are
elected to Congress, and the Legislature stands 1
on joint ballot—democrats 75, wh'gs 25. I
The second Jewish synagogue in Boston—a
neat building—erected by| the German Jews
who have now seceded fiom the other syna
gouge, which was controlled by the Polish Jews
was consecrated on Friday afternoon with the
religious ceremonies of that nation. They uunj
ber sixty members, among whom are some per
sons of considerable wealth. The sermon was
by Rev. Dr. Lienthal, of N. York,
The church was densely crowded to witness
the interesting ceremonies—the mayor and oth
er prominent citizens being present.
Upward of three thousand passengers arrived
at New York on Saturday morning from Europe
in the following vessels:

Another Physician Gone!—lt will be seen
by the list of interments published to-day, (says
the Savannah Republican) that Dr. JamesM
Gordon has been snatched from us in the midst
ot his usefulness, by the unsparing hand of death
Dr. G. came to Savannah from Atlanta, but a
short time since, and was engagedin tire drug
business as one of the firm of J. B. Carter & Co.
As the epidemic increased he resumed the prac
tice ot his profession, which ill health had forced
aim to abandon, that he might aid his brethren
by contributing his mite to the alleviation ot suf
fering and distress, and tell a maityr to the noble
cause that engaged his setvices.
Miss Eliza Logan.—The Savannah News
says—The reader, on seeing the name which
stands at the head of this article, will recognize
it, as that of one who has often charmed them
by her admirable displays ot genius on the stage,
and won their esteem and attachment by the
graces which adorn her character as a woman.—
She again makes her appeaiance'before the Sa
vannah public, not in any new part, but one
familiar to her as the air she breathes—in that
of a benefactress. On the list of contributions
published this morning, as having been receiv
ed by the Young Men’s Benevolent Association,
will be found, opposite to her name, the sum of
Two Hundred Dollar’s as a gift to the relief of j
the sick and suffering in our plauge-smitten ci
ty.
We hope, under happier auspices, to welcome
her again upon our boards; and we can safely
predict the sort of reception which our grateful
and warm-hearted audiences will give to one,
who has ever been with them a favorite, and
has now proved herself to be their “ friend in
need.”
Sad Occurrence at a Bridal Party in Il
linois.—A sad affair took place at Elgin on Fri
day night week, says the Montgomery Adverti
ser, which resulted in the death of Edmund Ad
ams, a young-man about eighteen years of age,
and a resident of Elgin. It appears that a young
man by the name of Cyrus H. Larkin was mar
ried the evening before, and his acquaintances
made up a party for a Charivari. Assembling
round the house they struck up with bells, tin
pan and instrumental accompaniments, when a
gun was f a ice discharged in their midst from a
window, t ■ ;ing effect upon young Adams’, who
! instantly fell. He was removed to bis fathers
■ residence, when it was found that two buckshot
had entered his forehead. He lingered until
I Saturday night when he died. A jury was sum
-1 moned, and brought in a verdict that-the deceas-
I ed came to his death by shots fired from Mr. Lar
kin’s house, by some persons or persons un
: known to the jury. It was proved before the
jury that Mr. Larkin borrowed the gun for the
purpose of shooting at the party if they cam:: to
his house. Both of these young men had resi
ded for a long time in Elgin, belonged to highly
respectable families, and were esteemed as quiet
and exemplar}’ young men. The affair has east
a gloom over the place, and clouded a life which
I was glowing with hope and happiness.
i The Yellow Fever.—The Charleston Stan
dard, of the 20th inst., says:—We are sorry to
perceive from the report of the City Register
■ that the number of deaths from the epidemic for
: the past twenty-four hours has greatly exceeded
that of any one day since the appearance of the
disease amongst us. This increase is no doubt
atiributab'e to the very unfavorable state ot the
weather, the change of w hich have been so very
sudden within the past few days. We are in
hopes, however, that the disease has reached its
climax, and that we will now be able to note its
steady decrease, until it shall have entirely dis
appeared from our midst, and our city again as
! sume its wonted activity. In the meantime we
: would advise all who are absent irom the city to
J delay their return for a few weeks longer.
The Weather.—We bad (says the Milledge
ville Recorder) a very heavy rain in this region
on Friday night, and now breathe a cool and re
freshing atmosphere. The health of our city is
remaikably good. We trust the change in the
weather will prove s’alutary to the health of Sa
vannah, Charleston and other places scourged by
Illness of Dr. Wainwright.—The numer
ous friends of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Wainwright, Pro
visional Bishop of the Protestant Eplspocal
Church in the diocese of New York, have been
pained to learn that he is lying very low with
I an attack of typhus fever.
i The New York Commercial Advertiser, of
j Saturday, says:
“ For the last few days, much fear has been
entertained as to the result, but we are happy to
k flj'e to say that the report this morning was
much more favorable. Tne Bishop passed a
tranquil night, and the fever has somewhat
abated.
“This distinguished prelate is so much belov
ed by all who know him, both w ithin and with
out his own flock, that his deat.i would be most
deeply and widely lamented. It would also be
a great affliction to the Epispocal Church, as it
would renew the agitation which was happily
quieted by the election ot Dr. Wainwright to
the Provisional Episcopate. This is a matter
in which we have no desiie to interfere,.but on
the grounds of personal respect and regard lor
the Provisional Bishop, we may be permitted to
say that we hope he will long be spared to fill
his useful and important position.”
Philosophy for Mechanics.—A correspon
dent of the London Builder says that houses
should be painted in the autumn; wood work
painted in October, he says, looks better at the
end of four yeais, thar., if painted i.. June, it
would at the end of two.
The Weather.
The weather in our city has undergone a deci
ded change during the past two days. Thursday
was cold, rainy and disagreeable, while yester
day the temperature was seasonable and pleas
ant. We hope the present weather will have
an influence in arresting the progress of the epi
demic.
Medical Advice.
A prominent physician of the city suggests to
uA'to advise all persons who can do so, to sleep
in apartments as high up from the ground as
practicable. Servants occupying basement sto
ri ■* should be removed into well ventilated apart
ments. Where owners can place them in the
upper stories or attics ot their dwellings, it is
advisable for them to do so. Our informant
states that many negroes in the city, occupying
low and damp apartments in basements, some of
them without flooring, and their hazards are
thereby increased. Though this class of popula
tlcr> is not as liable to the fever as whites; yet
this liability may be still further diminished by
following the above suggestion.
Another Kind Offer.
The following letter was received by his Hon
or, tne Mayor, yesterday, from Warrenton. The
writer, Mr. Wm. Gibson, will be Jong remem
bered by our citizens for his kind offer :
Warrenton, Sept. 21,-1854.
Col. A. P. Robertson— Dear Sir: On re
fusing home yesterday, I found our town al
ready filled with your citizens, and heard of the
calamity about to befall your city. We can do
nothing more for you than to offer to your citi
zu is the use of our Camp Ground, about five
miles from this depot, and about seven miles
from Tomson, oh the Georgia Railroad. We
have about thirty-five good new tents on the
Camp Ground, each capable of accommodating
about twenty persons, with an abundance of
good water and wool near by. Some of the
tents have plank floors, and all are in good order,
and sihiated in a healthy part of ouf country. I
will have at least three two-horse wagons at
our depot to move such of your citizens down as
may come up on the day train of the cars to the
Camp Ground every day. Respectfully yours,
William Gibson.
By letters received from Stone Mountain and
from Social Circle, A’e learn that several fami
lies can .be comfortably accommodated at both
places.
| Fire and Cholera.—lt is stated [that the
j cholera diminished at Varna immediately after
! the great fire. The fact is likely to excite con-
I siderable inquiry, and to lead to various experi
i merits as to the influence of fire in purifying the
i atmosphere.
j Railroad Tickets not Property.—Judge
i Robinson, ot Rochester, N. Y., has decided in the
I case of the State versus Andrew Donnelly, on a
j charge of laiceny lor stealing sixty Central Rail
i road tickets, that such tickets, not in the hands
j of bonafide purchasers, were of no intrinsic value,
I and hence not the subject of larceny.
I Charleston Theatre.—We learn through
} the New York Spirit of the Times, that the
I Theatre for the coming season will be under the
i management ol John Sloan, as stage manager,
: and S. B. Duffield, late of the St. Charles, as act
ing manager. Among the company are to be
j Mr. and Mrs. Nagle, Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, Mrs.
. and Miss Chappell, Mr. Little, Miss Kate Lud
!l: w, Miss Mary Hi.., and many others. The
engagements aie not sit completed.
The Coal Panic has gone to such an‘extent
that it is seriously proposed to urge Congress to
repeal the duties on foreign coal generally, which,
however, so far as the British Provinces are con
cerned, is repealed by the provisions of the reci
procity treaty, under which the Pictou coal will
come in free of duty. The present duty on for
eign eoal from other than the British North
American Provinces is 30 per cent, ad valorem.
The Liverpool coal is imported chiefly for the
use of some Southern cities. The repeal of the
duty will give rise to very little competition in
the coal market, and will not reduce the price.
The supplies of coal from the anthracite region
I will be much short of the demand for the pre
i sent year, but after a while coal will become one
|of our staples for export. The New York Her
j aid, however, says:
j “We learn that a great number of heavy con
’ sumers in the Eastern States, taking advantage
[ of the new reciprocity treaty, have engaged the
I Pictou coal, in consequence of their being able
i to procure it at a cheaper rate than the Pennsyl
| vania anthracite is at present furnished. We
j also learn that a great many manufactories in
j this city, and a large number of steamboats are
1 substituting the Lackawana for the anthracite,
' which latter they have heretofore used. One
steamboat company in this city, which alone
consumes upwards of twenty-six thousand tons
annually, are now laying in their winter stock
ot bituminous as a substitute for the ordinary
stone coal, which they have usually consumed.”
Severe Punishment. —Three of the operators
of the Electric Telegraph, at the station called
Rincon, Cuba, have been discharged,for some ne
glect of duty, sentenced to pay all the costs in
curred, and to be imprisoned in the jail nearest to
Rincon for the space of one month!
A Useful Invention. —The Lords of the
Trea-ury, England, have awarded Mr. John
Dicker, inspector of mails, the sum of £SOO, as a
i compensation for his invention of an apparatus
for transfering mail bags to and from railway
carriages a full speed, without stopping.
Tailed and Feathered. —The Louisville
Democrat states that the juryman in the Thomas
son case at Georgetown, Ky., who was in favor
of acquitting the prisoner, and thus hung the jury
and saved the supposed guilty, had been tarred
and feathered near that place.
Low Water.—The river is so low at St. Louis
that the boiler decks of the largest steamers are
scarcely on a level with the wharf, and discharg
ing freight is consequently rendered exceedingly
difficult. Laborers are paid twenty cents an
hour.
Singular Coincidence.—The Rev. Dr. Be
dell relates that while Bishop Chase, of Ohio
was at the louse of Mr. Beck, in Philadelphia
he received a package from Dr. Ward, Bishop of
Sodor and Man, making inquiries relating to cer
tain property in America,of which someoldper
son of his diocese was the heir. The letter had
gone to Ohio, followed him to Washington, then
to Philadelphia, and found him at Mr. Beck’s
When he read it to Mr. 8., the latter was in
amazement, and said: “Bishop Chase, I am the
only man in the world who can give you infor
mation. I have the deeds iu my possession, and
have had them forty.three yers, not knowing
what to do with them, or where any heirs were
to be found.” How wonderful that the applica
tion should be made to Bishop Chase, and he not
in Ohio, but a guest in the house of the only man
who possessed any information on the subject.
City Mortality.—The number of children
under 10 years of age that died last week in
New York was 399; in Philadelphia 121; in
Baltimore 59, and in Boston 55. The following
is a comparison of the total martaiity in the four
cities :
N. York. Phila. Balt. Boston.

Medical Assistance.—We would call atten
tion of the public of Savannah, says the News,
to a card in our columns of this morning, from
Dr. Henry S. Bacon, of Augusta. He has come
amongst us with a view to share the labors and
perils ol his brethren in our city, and in obe
dience to those promptings of humanity which
the members of his profession seldom fail to re
spond to. It is our ardent hope that his benevo
lent efforts may be crowned with success.
Potatoes in Vermont.—A Bennington, Vt.
paper says: “The potatoe crop, which a few
days ago betokened a total failure, now promises
to be quite good. The late planted potatoes nev
er were doing better, and we are informed that
some pieces—should the present state of the
weather exist for a few days longer—will yield,
nearly an aveiage crop. From present appear
ance potatoes cannot be, a month or two thence,
above 374 cents per bushel, and they may be be
low that price.”
Ashland not to be Sold.—James B. Clay,
son of Henry Clay, in a note to the editor of the
Lexingtm Observer, contradicts a report that
Mr. George Law, of New York, had sent an
agent to Kentucky to purchase Ashland, the
home residence of the late Henry Clay, and
which now belongs to his son, J. B. In his note
Mr. James B. Clay says :—“ Never Having offer
ed Ashland for sale, I presume neither Mr. Law,
not any one else, would venture to offer me the
insult of proposing its purchase.”
Hogs in In. iana and Kentucky.—lt appears
from the returns of the assessors that in 64 coun
ties of Indiana there are 2,168,833 hogs, being an
increase over last year of 588,377. Add to this
the excess in Kentucky, and we have an excess
in two States of near 900,000 head.

The Telegraph Office Closed. —In cor se
quence of the sickness of Samuel H. Bingham
Esq., the chief operator of the Washington and
New Orleans Telegraph Company in this city,
and there being at present no assistant operator,
the office will be necessarily closed for a few
days.— Char. Courier, 21 st inst.
[From the New York Daily Times ]
Arrival of the Steamer Ottowa at Quebec.
Quebec, Monday, Sept. 18.
The Canadian Steam Navigation’s Company’s
screw steamship Ottowa, Capt. J. B. Atkins, ar
rived at this port at an early hour this afternoon,
bringing a full list of passengers, and a heavy
cargo of goods for the fall trade. The Ottowa
sailed from Liverpool on Tuesday, the sth inst.,
only one day in advance of tlse Collins steamship
Atlantic.
The Liverpool Cotton market opened with a
full attendance on Tuesday, but the transactions
in Wheat were very limited, —the few sales ef
fected at the opening have been made at a de
cline, as compared with the current rates oi the
previous week at four to six shillings per quar
ter. All other articles were also cheaper at the
London Corn Exchange on Monday. English
Wheat was selling at prices from Gs. to Bs. per
quarter lower—s4s. being the top price.
The weather was brilliant, and the harvest
was drawing to a close. It continued abundant
throughout England.
Consols closed at 95 1.
At the Paiis Bourse, on Monday, the funds re
ceded J per cent, from the prices ot the previous
Saturday.
Vienna, Sept. 4.—The Bourse was languid,
and funds are lower.
The War.—Strict orders have been sent to
the Austrian Consul at St. Petersburg, not to de
viate from the four points laid down in M.
Drouhn de L’Huy’s note, nor to admit of any
modification in the Russian answer.
A despatch from Vienna says, that Russia re
jects, absolutely, the required guarantee that the
Principalities should be evacuated, and the Mon
iteur of Sunday confirms this despatch. It is said
in Vienna, that the Emperor added that he would
rather sacrifice the last soldier than accept such
conditions.
Vienna, Sept. 2.—Some people will have it
that Demidoff has not brought any definite an
■ wer from St. Petersburg, but merely a private
note from the Czar to the King of Prussia, where
in the four points are interpreted differently, and
it is upon this reason that the Czar is willing to
enter on fresh negotiations.
Another despatch says, that Baron Manteuffel
has received the official answer of Russia to the
proposals to commence negotiations upon the ba
sis stipulated by the Western Powers, and that
Russia unequivocally declines to accept the pro
positions, and will maintain the defensive. (This
last is probably correct ]
Advices from Bucharest to the 20th ult. state
that Derbesh Pasha had arrived in the Capital,
and that he had issued a proclamation in favor of
the Sultan, stating that the Austrians would pro
visionally occupy the Principalities as the allies
of the Ottoman Porte. All the former privileges
of the Principalities would be maintained.
Seventy-one cases of Cholera had occurred in
. the Turkish Camp.
Gen. Conut Canrobert, [probably an Austrian
General is meant,] had passed through the F-osen
thal pass for Bucharest.
Varna, Aug. 21.—The Britannia has sent all
her men in transports to Galatz, and has been
cleaned and fumigated. This is the vessel vr hich
suffered so badly from Cholera.
The Cholera has abated in both armies.
. No new movement had taken place, except
that the French were embarking fascines and
artillery.
Dantzic, Sept. I.—Admiral Parseval and
Gens. D’Hilliers and Brown, have made recon
noiters of the fortresses of Helsingfors and Swea
borg.
The Times, in its second edition of Monday,
says it is not expected that Austria will declare
war against Russia, but probably the Army of
Occupation in Wallachia will be raised from
30,C00 to 100,000 men. The Russians are con
centrating themselves in certain portions of Mol
davia, in consequence of the threatening move
ments of the forces in their rear.
Dantzic, Sept. 2.—The forts at Hango have
been blown up by the Russians.
Spain.—Madrid dates are to the 29th ult. Tran
quility had been entirely restored without blood
shed.
Liverpool, Sept. s.—Later Int lligence.— The
intelligence which has arrived by the journals is
not of great importance. The Oest. Dutchen
Post of the 29th announces that it has received
a dispatch stating tl at part of the Black Sea fleet
had quitted the port ofVarna, and that that part
of the combined fleet now staying at Baltschik
is intended to cruise near Odessa. Another ver
sion says that the intention is to blockade Odessa.
A letter from Bucharest of the 21st ult. says
the Turks are advancing on the Busco Road, on
which the Russians have been frequently worst
ed by the Bashi Bazouks.
The Ottawa averaged 270 miles per day for
the first four days, after which she experienced
very heavy gales from the west, breaking her
tiller, and canying away part of her boiler works.
Robbery—The store of Mr. Wm. H. Hause
rnan, commonly known as the Blue Store, in
Congress s’reet, near Market square, was enter
ed by some person or poisons yet unknown, on
Tuesday night, between eight and nine o’clock,
as is supposed, when after sundry depredations
an attempt was made to fire the building.
The proprietor bad not opened his store since
Saturday last, having been detained at home by
sickness. On examination, yesterday, be found
that an entrance had been effected by wrenching
off the fastenings ot a window in the rear of the
building. The articles missed consist ot a heavy
gold lever watch, and heavy gold chain, a gold
locket, and several articles oi clothing, including
cassimere pantaloons, satin vests, &c. The
rogues, however, owing probably to their hurry,
overlooked a silver watch, and also another gold
watch and chain, which were in the same case
with the one above mentioned.
The till was also ransacked, and about a dol
lar’s worth of copper change, provided for Satur
day’s market, abstracted. Here, again, a silver
watch, lying in the same drawer with the coin,
was left untouched.
A small piece of candle was found by Mr.
Hauseman, and near the back of the store a
quantity of paper containing a parcel of matches
half consumed, the whole carefully wrapped up
in polask matting, used for trying on shoes, and
which had been carried from its place in the mid
dle of the store, to the rear- »’ materia! loj th“
fire. It was to bwrtTwoivly,
and thus afliw-ernescoundrels an opportunity of
esC a>»-<- Tut the linen of which the mat is made,
inidrts close texture, stifled the flames, and thus
defeated their further purposes of plunder.
We repeal, it is necessary for our citizens, if
they cannot rely for protection upon their watch,
to louse themselves for their own defence. A
fire, at such a time as this, and especially in such
a close-built locality, is all that is wanting to fill
the cup of our calamities.— Sav. News, 21st inst.
New York, Sept. IS.—The relief committee
to receive the funds collecting for Savannah or
ganised this morning. The sum collected last
week was 83,100, to whom 8500 additional was
'added this morning.
SECOND DESPATCH.
New York, Sept. 18.—The fund for the relief
of Savannah was to-day increased to 85,100, and
will, doubtless, be swelled to 88,000 to-morrow.
