CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11.
We resume tliis day, the publication of our
Daily paper, and although our force is not yet
entirely adequate to that object, we shall endeavor
tokccpitup. Two months have elapsed since
its suspension—two months of affliction and woe
to our prosperous and hitherto healthy city.—
During that time the hand of Death has wrought
many gloomy chasms in its enterprising and bu
siness population. Many are the familiar and
friendly faces that once gladdened our streets and
gave impulse and animation to business, but
■lumber now in the tomb.
Wetiustand believe that the pestilence has
loft us—and forever. It is our duty in looking
back upon the fearful past, to turn to good account)
for the future, the afflicting dispensations of
Providence, and while we cannot hut mourn over
the desolation of our city, let us be grateful that
health is once more restored, and that our homes
and substance arc preserved.
We take great pleasure in publishing the re
port of the Hoard of Health below. The health
•f the city may lie considered as fully restored,
and no danger need be apprehended by those
whom business may call hither. We have now
had three successive frosts accompanied by ice.
The business of the city is reviving with great
rapidity, and so soon as we can have a rise in the
river, sufficient to allow boats to come np, Augus
ta will present to the stranger her usual business
like appearance, and to country merchants and
planters all those advantages for which, as a
market for the sale of produce and the supply of
goods, she has always maintained so high a re
putation.
$ Hoard of Health.
Fiudat, Nov 8, 12 M.
The Board report no death from fever or other
cause since their last meeting on Wednesday.
The Board have carefully abstained from en
couraging any return to the city while danger ex
isted; but take pleasure in announcing that they
now consider danger at an end. The weather
during the last three days, has undergone an en
tire change, and a very considerable black frost
has appeared this morning. Onr absent fellow
citizens are now confidently invited to return to
their homes.
The board then adjourned to meet at the call
of the Mayor.
A. GUMMING, Mayor of Augusta,
Ex officio Chairman of the Board of Health.
S.iml kl M. Thompson, Scc’y.
We publish below a list containing the names
of those who died of fever since the 18th August
last. We have omitted those reported to have
died from other causes, We have endeavored to
make the list as perfect as possible, and believe
that it will be found to bo correct, or very nearly
so.
The number of cases are variously estimated
at from 1500 to 2000. We presume that steps
will be taken to ascertain the number as near as
possible.

New York Election.
IThc election commenced on Monday last, in
the State ol New York, and was concluded on
Wednesday. We have as yet no intelligonre of
any Jesuits. In the city of New \ ork 27,653
voles were polled the first two days, being 2352
votes less than were polled the two first daysofthc
election in 1838.
Mobi'e nnd New Orleans.
We copy the following articles in relation to
the health of these two two cities, the first from
the Mobile Merchants and Planters’ Journal of
Nov. 6th, and the second from the New Orleans
Picayune of Nov. sth :
“The wished for rain came night before Inst,
but did not continue so long as was desired. It
poured heavily tor several hours; but at day light
the sky was clear again, and the w hole day con
tinued pleasant—rather too warm, indeed, at
mid-day ; but altogether more agreeable, nnd we
believe more hcultny than the weather which
prevailed for some time before. We want more
rains and still colder weather succeeding them, to
ensure absolute safely to strangers. We have
heard of very few eases of yellow fever latelv,
and those among persons entirely unacclimateil,
ami withal, not very prudent. The health of the
city has improved very much ; but we cannot yet
say that it is positively safe for strangers to ar
rive.”
“ Piik City. —As we have previously stated,
the city may now he considered perfectly healthy.
We had feared that the great influx of strangers
would have raused an extension of the sickness;
but so far it lias caused no bad effects. It is an
nounced in one of the morning papers that there
was a frost lust week. We think it probable, as
two or three mornings were quite cool. On Sat
urday and Sunday morning, wo had heavy rains,
and we now confidently expect cold weather.
Business is becoming brisk. The city is filled
with strangers and returning citizens; nnd ves
sels from sea, and steamboats arc fust coming in.
Fur the Chronicle Sentinel.
A Card.
Although a man’s professional reputation must
protect itself, it is necessary for him to defend,
if he can, his personal character ; and hence, I
notice a charge, which I understand from various
siuiccs, not only in this place, but from abroad,
hasheen made on my veracity.
I have been charged with asserting that I have
lost hut one patient, from the late epidemic, when
in fad I have lost some half dozen.
Now what I have said I am willing to repeat
and to avoid further misconception, I repeat
here.
I have lost hat one patient out of about two
hundred and sixty, whom I treated from the com
mencement of their attack! I include in this
number Mr. Rush, who died this morning; for al
though I was the only physician called to him,
yet lie had prescribed for himaclf the day before
I was called.
I think it proper, to prevent cavilling, to speak
of one case, six miles ofiT, that died, who took no
medicines hut,such as I ordered. On the morning
of the second day of his disease I . requested to be
sent for il a paroxism came on in tho evening,
urging ns a reason that I considered his life depend
ed upon a copious bleeding. I was sent for; tho
messenger never came ; for I had taken every
precaution, not to miss him, if he did—for par
ticulars however, I refer tothc|family of the de
ceased. I hold myself entirely unanswerable iu
that case, as omission is equivalent to commis
sion, at least where prediction is made before
hand.
It is true I attended a few cases that terminat
ed fatally, none however willingly, but from a
sense of duty ; for I conceived it next to impossi
ble to save them, believing the mischief was al
ready done by previous treatment.
But, say some, you acknowledge no case as
yours, who takes medicines, either of his own ac
cord, or from others. Why should I, after de
claring in the commencement oflhe fever, that
I believed in all malignant cases, the fate of the
patient was decided in the first paroxism—that is,
to say in twelve hours,as far as death was concern
ed ; and further that I considered certain medi
cines, which many used, equal to arsenic.—Who
believing blood-letting equivalent to death, would
have boon willing to have assumed the icspnnsi
hility of a patient of mine, after I had bled him a
gallon or more, in ten or twelve hours! No
expect it of him.
I do not assail the theories of others—l do not
seek to maintain my own in this public manner-
I leave facts nnd experience to do their own
work. But I wish to defend myself from the
charge of falsehood ; and having repeated what
I have said in the'premises, I leave it to my slan
derers to prove my assertions untrue—if they
can. J. J. WILSON.

Twenty-one days later from England.
The Great Western, Capt. Hosken, came into
port on Saturday evening, having performed her
trip in the remarkably short passage of fourteen
days and six hours. The Western left Sew
York on the afternoon of the 21st September,
and arrived in Kingroad on the afternoon of the
4th of October, completing her passage in thir
teen days.
The London dates are to the evening of
18th of October, Liverpool to the same, and Bris
tol the 19th, all inclusive.
The steam ship British Queen arrived al-Pbrts.
mouth on the 15th, making her passage stated
in the Liverpool papers in 13 days and 80 hours,
v. s. hank Aiiotrcr.
The most important news by ihj+ arrival is
that relating to the operations of Mr. Jaudon •
who appears to have been eminently successful in
relieving hirnscif from his embarrassments. In
addition to the advance of .£300,000 from the
Bank of England, he had effected a loan of
£BOO,OOO upon Pennsylvania stocks and other
securities, and had also effected an arrangement
with the holders of liabilities falling duo on the
2d of Oct. for a renewal, or delay of payment,
they receiving American stocks as collatteral »e-
curity. The amount of specie taken out for Mr.
.Jaudon by the Great Western was only 116,800/.
but large additional amounts were expected by
the Liverpool, We annex several article* rtf*
luting to (his subject, the effect of which scenic
to be that provision has undoubtedly been made
lor tho payment of all tho Bank’s liabilities in
London.
TilK IIAUVKST.
I ho advices by this arrival enable us to form
a tolerably accurate opinion ns to the stale oflhe
ciops generally. The sum of the matter seems
to be that the English and Scotch crops are
somewhat below an average in quantity, and
considerably below it in quality ; nnd that the
Irish crop is at least so near a total failure that
no exportations from that part of the United
Kingdom can lie looked for. We annex copious
extracts, from which it will be seen that the av
erage ol prices had declined, and of cou se that
the dut}' had risen. This however, is alleged to
be more owing to the inferior quality oflhe arti
cle than to the abundance ol the supply. The
anti corn-law journals still maintain 'that tho
ports must and will be opened for the admission
of foreign grain.

The annual and quarterly returns of tho rev, - i
nue, up to tho 10th of October, show an increase
over those of 1838, of £1,441,132 upon the year, |
and ol £240,699 upon the quarter. The amount
in 1830 was £44,460,809—that in 1839 £44,- I
086 681. It is remarked, however, that the ex- (
peuditurrof 1839 must greatly exceed that of
1836; and that the financial condition of the (
country is more discouraging than at any time i
since the peace. ,
Prince Albert of Gohurg—the lucky youth to I

Mr. Webster left London for Paris.
Sir James Clarke has published a statement
relative to the case of Lady Flora Hustings ami 0
his conduct therein. It is calm, lucid, and bears “
every appearance of candor. The facts, as set ll

'The Glasgow Argus is “extremely sorry” to P
announce the failure of the Marquis of Huntly 0
for £606,001). The Arbroath Herald says that

many others are preparing to follow.
Mr. Slmrman Crawford has published a plan
for the melioration of Ireland, which seems to
meet with general favor. Tho principle of it is
the division of land into small farms.
The London Morning Post has defined the
“permanent remedy” for the drain of bullion from
England, at which it darkly hinted in one of its
city articles, quoted by us the other day. It is a
duty on the transfer of foreign securities. This
suggestion is ridiculed by other journals, on the
ground that tire drain ol gold is unquestionably
caused, not by the dealings in foreign securities,
but by the unavoidable importation of foreign
grain.
There was quite a commotion at Windsor Cas
tle on the 13th, (Sunday,) occasioned by lire
breaking of several panes of glass in the win

parently been thrown in during the night. No
discovery had been made.
It was reported in London that Lord Durham
had been appointed to the Turkish embassy, to
supercede Lord Ponsonby. The report comes in
the Standard, a violent opposition paper, and is
probably without foundation. (

The Cortes had voted in favor of granting to

rejoicings at Madrid, as it was considered apledge
for tbi: restoration of tranquility.
At the date of the latest advices the forces of
Espartero and Cabrera bad not yet come in con
flict. The former arrived at Saragossa on the
slh, at the head of 20,000 men, and was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. Cabrera was for
tifying himself in the Sierra of Cantavicja. His
force amounted to about 30,000 men.
A report had been circulated that Don Carlos
had written to Cabrera, enjoining him to lay
down bis arms and submit; but this was contra
dicted by a letter from the Marquis of Labrador,
who affirms also that Don Carlos will never aban
don bis claims to the throne.
The Spanish government had proclaimed a
general amnesty to all who have submitted or
shall submit to the Queen.

Nothing decisive had yet taken place in the af

LADIES FASHION'S FOII OCTUIIKU.
} or >' I’fetty materials for autumn dress are the
chine and broche silks; but plaids, both in pop
lins, lovantinics, and gros do Tours, arc much in
favor.
Velvet spencers arc again seen with the au
tumn toilettes. Generally speaking, skits of
dresses are very much ornamented, some with
bouillons, others with flounces, not only round
the bottom, but up the sides of tho skirt; short
sleeves are worn both in full dress amlen neglige.
Open dresses mid paletots will be worn this
winter. Rerlingotcs are also fashionable ot reps,
levantiue broche silks; plaid skirts, with velvet
spencer or body, arc pretty- Gimp trimmings
will bo worn this season on redingotes of silk
materials. Apricot color, striped with green,
having two hiais descending tUc redingote in a
serpentine form, is one of tho lust novelties—’{’he
time has hardly arrived for winter shawls and
clonks; those with hoods, and both targe and small
heinous, mantelets, and demimanteaux, are all
preparing in new ami varied forms.
J lie use of lace to ornament bonnets is expec
ted to increase rather than diminish on the win
ter coiffures.
Bonnets ol satin and reps are replacing those
of crape or lighter materials, and in Paris velvet
ones ol light and delicate tints have been made
mixed with blue, blue cerises; the form varies
but little. Capotes, ol white satin, trimmed with
British point lace and flowers of white velvet, are
very elegant.
I ulle-resoacc. striped gauze and crape-lisse, will
be used for evening caps ; also Monde dentcllo,
ornamented with roses du roi, Scotch lilies and
heaths. Turbans of broeuit, embroidered satin,
and velvet of Greek pattern, ornamented with
scarfs and deep binges,arc also preparing for the
winter season.

ui.anri.— From the Boston Mercantile Journal.
—lt is now wc presume, pretty well settled that
the Banks in Now York and iu Now England
with the exception of Rhode Island, will nut sus
pend specie payments. This is as it should he—
we rejoice at the result.—ls the banks had suc
cumed—and suspended specie payments, they
might have brought temporary relief to some tot
tering houses, but they would have destroyed
themselves. All confidence in the present bunk
ing system would have been at an end, and the
people would have clamored for the annihilation
of an institutions so little able to promote the
great objects for which they were created.
Now that it is known that the Banks will not
suspend Specie payments, confidence will he, in
deed it already is, restored, tho banks will be able
to extend reasonable aid to the trading part of the
community—and we doubt not that the cloud
which now hangs over us, portending gloom and
desolation, will soon be dispelled.

If yon bright stars, winch gem the night,
lie each a blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits reunite.
Whom dealt hath turn asunder here -,
How sweet it were at once to die,
And leave this blighted orb afar,
Mixt soul and soul to cleave the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
But oh how dark,how drear, and lone,
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If wandering through each radiant one,
Wo fail to find the loved of this ;
If there no more the ties shall twine,
That death’s cold hand alone could sever;
Ah I then those stars in mockery shine,
More hateful as they shine forever.
It cannot l>c,each hope, cacli fear,
That lights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is a happier sphere
Than this bleak world that holds us now.
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
When heaviest weighs life’s galling chains,
’Tis heaven that whispers, dry thy tears, j
The pure in heaven shall meet again. /

pool ; since when our Cotton Market has been
gradually declining,and is now 4a gd per lb. low
er than at that period; the present ({notation for
fair qualities being 64 a 7*d per lb., though a fair
extent of business has been going forward during
the whole time. The sales for the week ending
27 th ult. w ere 25,980 bales,and for that ending 4th
hist. 2(5,500 bales , for that ending 11th inst. 29,-
(>-’0 bales—and for the week terminating to-day
they amount to 23,110 bales. Cf the latter 4930
Upland, at 6 a 8,9910 Orleans, at a 8}—4770
Alabama and Mobile, C a 7V, and 100 Sea Island, at
a 2s lOd per lb.
The market has had the benefit of a good export
demand particularly the last fortnight, about 8000
bales having been taken for that purpose last weak
and about 3000 the present week ; but the effect of
this has been counteracted by a falling off in the
demand for home consumption, and an exceedingly
depressed state of trade in the manufacturing dis
tricts, whore the return to full work on the part of
spinncis is cheeked for want of an adequate de
mand for goods and yarns.
The money pressure, 100, continues
and operates unfavorably on every branch of trade.
The recent accounts respecting the injury sustain
ed by the crop in the U. States, have doubtless had
considerable influence in preventing a greater de
cline. ( n the other hand, the interruption of the
Chinese trade, and the uncertainty as to its renewal,
may, it is thought, gives an increased supply ftf
the blast India crop the next season, and lessen the
export of goods and yarn to China. This together
with the discouraging prospect for the demand for
goods for America, has probably induced the cot
ton holders to sell more freely of late.
The import into Liverpool since Ist January is
938.000 bales against 1,259,000 to the same period
last season; the supply from the United States is
758.000 bales, being a lecreasc of 303,000. The
stock in tins port is estimated at 375,000 bales
against 440,000, at same period last year j the
stock of American is about 343,0U0,0i' 15,000bale*
less than it then was.
Havre, Oct. 8.

Havre, Oct. 15.
Colton —Last Monday, advices from New York
to 21st ult. reached us per Great Western, via Bris
tol, the contents of which held out the prospect of
a speedy termination to the financial difficulties of
the United States Hank’s agent in London, and we
have since ascertained, that a satisfactory arrange
ment has been finally concluded. Thia intelligence
produced, in some degree, a better feeling in our
market, and from Wednesday to Thursday 3000
bales of cotton changed hands; but holders having
afterward somewhat recovered themselves, the
transactions on the following days became again
restricted, though it is nut improbable that a slight
concession on their part would have been produc
tive of more business. Upon the whold, prices
closed on Saturday at the quotations of th« pre
cceding week, notwithstanding less encouraging
accounts, as to the sale of Twist and Cotton Goods,
were received from several manufacturing district*.
Yesterday, however, at tlw> bvyei* reap
peared in the market, and being freely met by «e|.
Icrs, 2600 bales were taken at current rates. We
published, in our previous report, the moftferaenl
in Cotton throughout France, during the. last 3
years, and now annex the summary table for France
and England within the same period. It win be
perceived, that if on the one hand there has besn a
(lelficietiey in the importations this year, on the
other that in tiie outgoings is far more considera
ble, allowing a reduction of 24 0 0 (or '32 0-0 on
Uuitud States) in France, and 16 0-0 (or 23 0-0 on
United States) in Great Britain, as compared with
last season. Combining the imports of the United
States ( ottons into both countries, these appears a
total decrease of 31 0-0 in the receipts, and 85 0-0
in the (Jolifcrics of those descriptions.
Marseilles, Oat. 8.
Our Cotton market this week was very calm.—
Our advices from Alexandria, of the 17thult. state
that 3600 bales have lately been sold, on the same
terms as before, (16 talaris) as understood for Eng
lish account. Our stock of Cotton from the Uni
ted States is reduced to about 4000 bales, and it
lias every appearance that prices will soon give
/way.
Charleston, Nov. ft.,
Cotton— During the past week, there was a reJy.
dnetiun in the limits of orders to a considerabla ex* ‘
tent, principally from European ports, which caus
ed a sensible decline in Uplands, prices of which
fell to about f, c to per lb on the various quali
ties
The intelligence per Great Western found a qui
et market, but rendered the prospect no better,pri
ces being stil on the downward march, when the
market closed. Our stock of Cotton is very small,
say not more than 500 bales in market offering at
present, the rivers in the interior being low, render*
