MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18. fn our paper to-day will be found a call for a public meeting to be held at the Masonic Hall, to-moirow. The object of that meeting is ex plicitly set forth in the call. The services per • formed by the Mayor during the prevalence of the late epidemic, merit the wannest expression of public feeling, and the most sincere gratitude of the people of Augusta. While the great ma jority of onr citizens were reposing in the conn try at a distance from danger, and while pesti lencc and death ravaged the city he remained firmly at his post, exercising , igilance that slumbered neither night nor day, and an energy that protected alike the home that was deserted, and the chamber of sickness too feeble for its own protection. E»ery point was the scene of his watchfulness and core, and no personal sacrifice or privation was ever permitted to interrupt the continued coarse of his labors. He was the ani mating spirit of the few who remained, and the watch!ul guardian of the interests of those who were absent. The marks of public respect which it is intended to pay him at the meeting, are due to him both as an officer ami as a man, for jt would be a rare thing to find another who would •o fully discharge every duty enjoined upon him by his office, and every claim upon his humanity, and public spirit as a citizen, at a period of so much danger and so> much distress. From the New Orleans Bee, of Nov. 12. From Texas. The steamboat Columbia, ('apt Windle, ar rived yesterday morning from Galveston, whieb plaice site left on the 7th inst., bringing late dates from Houston and Gahcston. We learn that Houston and Galveston are both extremely sick ly. The yellow fever waa raging at these places, and bad carried off a large number of respectable individuals. The mortality io proportion to the population was very considerable. Twenty-six deaths occurred at Galveston during the time the Columbia lay in port, (5 days.) We regret to learn, that among other victims to the epidemic is numbered “ Plain” John Goodwin, editor and proprietor of the Galvestonian, a paper to which he had communicated much spirit and good sense. He died on the sth instant. A severe “ norther” was experienced off the coast of Texas on the 7th inst. Several vessels and steamboats were forced ashore, without, however, suffering material damage. One vessel, the Nautilus, from this port, was sunk. The steamer Zavala, of the Texian navy, and one or two other vessels belonging to Texas, will visit New Orleans in the course of a few days. The Zavala was to have left Galveston on the 11th. The amount of Treasury notes in circulation was about $3,000,000. The public debt is esti mated at $4,000,000. We copy from the Houston Telegraph the following intelligence, which may be considered of some moment: Interesting from the West. By a gentleman who left the camp of the fed eral forces, thirty miles beyond the Nueces river, about the 36th instant, we learn that Canales, the commander of the Mexican federalists now in the field, has concentrated thirteen hundred of his followers, and was to move the next day for the Rio Grande. Captain Ross, who recruited a company of some eighty men in this city a few weeks since, and which was designed for the pro tection of the Nueces frontier, and the suppres sion of tlie driving of cattle and horses from he zy/..hd that river, which for some time has been carried on, hud also joined Canales, with about four hundred Americans. Added to this num ber, were about one hundred Indians, belonging to a tribe living on the Rio Grande, near the vil lage of Mier, and who are said to be a race of savages, and considerably skilled in the science of Mexican warfare. According to this, Canales had under his command eighteen hundred men— civilized, half civilized and savage—all pretty well armed, with considerable ammunition. There were, however, no cannon. Our infor mant says the greatest enthusiasm and harmony prevailed throughout this heferogenious band, and that a perfect confidence of success in their desperate adventure for the reduction of the whole Rio Grande country to the standard of fed eralism, seemed to be impressed upon the mind of every one. The first point of attack was to be the village of Micr, where were some two hundred Centralist troops; thence down to Mat amoras. All the different places where were stationed government troops, or which adhered to the Central cause, would probably be laid under ■ contribution. If they do not receive a repulse in their first engagement, and succeed in putting to route the government troops, we may expect soon to hear of piping times among the Centralists in this part of Mexico, These federalists now un der Canales, are the same who but a short time since were driven from the other side of the Rio Grande, by Canaliza, the commandant of the Central forces in this part of Mexico, and took j refuge in squads on this side, not having been sufficiently supplied with arms and ammunition ; to hazard a battle; they therefore have a fearful account to settle with their opponents. And now that they have the co-operation of a few Ameri- i cans, they believe themselves perfectly invincible and ore likely to be successful even against great odds. i - From the Tcl'ahassce Floridian, 9th inst FnoM Florida.— On Wednesday last. Mr. i Joseph Lee, sonUPof Major J. W. Lee, of this county, who resides about four miles from the , Sandy Ford in Jefferson county, while going to j superintend his negroes at work, was attacked by • • party of Indians, supposed to be about a dozen, , who fired upon him. Mr. Lee was shot through ! the body but we are gratified to learn, will re cover. He was armed at the time of the attack and <rallantly returned the fire, and although bad ly hurt, was enabled to get on his horse and tide for aid. His negroes fled home immediately ex cept! on* valuable slave that is yet missing. Cries j were heard as the others retreated, which in duces the belief that the slave was probably over taken hy the Indians and shot. Several citizens rallied as soon as possible, and started in search of the Indians. They found the gin house of Mr. Andrew J. Lee had been set on fire and about forty bales of cotton destroyed. The In dians were in the act of attacking the dwelling, but were driven off and one of their party it is believed killed. We learn also that some Indians during this week entered the field of John G. Anderson, Esq., near the Ocilla in Jefferson, in open day light, and were seen gathering and carrying off corn. These facts are a beautiful commentary upon the course of those who would lull onr citizens into quiet and security, hy the assertion that there are no Indians this side of the Suwannee. The blood of frontier citizens who may be seduced in to a want of vigilance hy the expression of such opinions, will stain the hands of those who thus act. We warn them that such is not the case, and that there is as much, if not more danger from attacks now, than at any time since the war. The Indians are, we doubt not, in want of provisions, 1 and they will soon recommence plundering. Ev ery plantation should be guarded. The Mexican Trade. By the Arkansas Gazette it appears that the body of Mexican traders, from Chihuahua, who passed down to New Orleans, last spring, reached Fulton, on their return, a lew weeks since, and are now awaiting at that place, a rise of water to enable them to ascend to Fort Towson, where they take land on their return home. They have with them goods, consisting of calicoes, prints, unbleached cottons, cloths, silks, &c. to the value of about s3tio,ooo, which were taken to the loot of the raft recently formed, by steamboat from N. Orleans; whence they were conveyed by wagons to the head of that obstruction, and transported to Fulton by the steamboat Mariner, Capt. Nowland which boat was in the liver above the locality of the new raft when it formed, and has consequent ly been confined there ever since. The company consists of about 100 persons, most of whom ac merely employed to assist in transporting the goods, and guard them through the country of tho Cumanches, which is the only part of their journey in which any danger is ap prehended of a warliue nature. They expect to travel up the south side of Red river about 300 miles, when they take nearly a south-westerly course, through an open prairie, and nearly level country, to Chihuahua, the whole distance hy land being nearly one thousand miles, through a country admitting of good roads, and affording abundance of grass for their mules, of which they have about 500, and about 80 wagons to carry their goods. The goods taken out by this company consist mostly of American manufactures. Mr. Valois, one of the principal awners of the concern states that the consumption of Ameri can goods when they can be procured, at Chi huahua, amounts annually to upward of a mil lion and a half of dollars, prime cost, the whole consumption of the country being about two mil lions: Chihuahua is in the neighborhood of ex tensive mines, which are considered inexhausti ble, producing between two and three millions of gold and silver annually, and giving employment to about sixty thousand persons. Mr. Valois states that if it be encouraged, he has no doubt the whole of the trade of Chihuahua will be car ried on with the United States. The route through Arkansas is pronounced by this company to be the nearest and every way most practicable for the prosecution of this trade, if the navigation of Bed River can be kept unim peded. The British tiade with Chihuahua is carried on through a port on the Pacific Ocean, a dis tance of 700 miles, crossing the rocky mountains. It is as yet inconsiderable; and if the proper exer tions are made to secure this opening to American enterprise, no doubt it wiH in a short time prove an important addition to our foreign commerce, to the almost total exclusion of other nations. Fire I— Between three and four o’clock, yes terday morning, wc were aroused from our beds by an alarm of fire, which but for the interven tion of a brick wall might have lead to a very se rious conflagration. It occurred in a warehouse, with a front door on St. Francis street, at the rear of the Alabama Hotel, both in the occupan cy of Messrs. Ellis & Green, and owned by G A. Wilkins, Esq. At first it was supposed to have originated through spontaneous combustion among a lot of lime stored in the warehouse, but diligent inqui ry, and information from the occupants, leaves us to the conclusion that it was the result of incen diarism. We are informed that the fire was first discovered among a lot of furniture stored by Mr. William H. Kelly in a part of the warehouse dis tinct from the lime. It will be remembered for mer attempts have been made to destroy the Ala bama Hotel. The losses at this fire amounted to $13,000; no insurance; divided as follows : Mr. Wilkins, (buildings) $7,000; T. Lcsesne, (cof fee,) $ 2,300 ; W. H. Kelly, (furniture,) $1,800; Ellis & Greene, (merchandize,)sl,ooo. — Mobile Adv, A Chron. \%lh inst. From the Belvidere Apollo. Questions for the People.— Has not the Jackson Van Horen party, for years, been promi sing us a sound currency, prosperous times, and an economical government? |£gAre not our national expenditures at this time, 36 millions a year more than under Munroe and Adams? Have we not had more embarrassment and dis tress in the country since the party began their operations on the currency, that we have had for many years before? Is not the loss by the government of more than three millions of dollars by defaulters, evidence of mal-administratioß, and of the necessity of re form ? Is not the issue of million upon million of Treasury notes by llie government, poor evidence of its wish and ability to create a metalic cur rency. If Tobias Watkins was justly imprisoned for I years, for a default of $3,500, why does the Pre j sident allow scores of defaulters for ten and twenty times that amount to escape with impu ! nity, or live securely in the possession of their I plunder? These things are worth the calm and serious attention of every republican. I - Thf. President Steamship.— This noble ves ! sel building at Limehouse, for the British and ' American Steam Navigation Company is nearly finished, and will ire launched in the course of the present month. She is much larger that the Bri tish Queen, as will be seen by her dimensions, which are as follows;—Extreme length from stern to taflend (including figure head) 367 feet; ex treme breadth of deck 51 feet; including paddle [ boxes 67 feet; depth in the hold 31 feet 6 inehes i and her tonnage about 3500 tons. Her engines will consist of two, each of 360 horse power.— Her upper or main deck is constructed in a differ ent manner from that of the British Queen, be ing similar to a double banked frigate and not ‘•flushed” as nauticully termed. Her paddle wheels arc to be 30 feet in circumference. From the Medical Examiner. Remarks on the Uhick Vomit of Yellow Fever. HI F. M. ROBERTSON, M. I). ’ Gentlemen :—Should you deem the follow ing observations, hastily thrown together during an unusual press of professional engagements, worthy of record, they are at your disposal. A most destructive epidemic has prevailed in our city since the early part of August. Vari , ous opinions were, at first, entertained as to the nature of the disorder. The symptoms, course, and termination of the disease, in connection with the post mortem appearances, leave no i doubt as to its being, unequivocally, “yellow fe ver,” or what is styled in Charleston, S. C., “ strangers fever." Some, who still contend that it is not the yellow fever, assert that the black matter thrown from the stomach during the life of the patient, and in it after death, is nothing more than black bile, mixed with tho secretions of the stomach, the ordinary production of au tumnal bilious fevers. The late Dr. Physick, I think, was among the first to point out the remarkable dillercnce be tween the matter of black vomit and the black bile. I repeated bis experiments, at a post mor tem examination, to-day. The subject of the examination had labored under the usual symp toms of yellow fever, and expired throwing up large quantities of “black vomit.” Upon expos ing the cavity of the abdomen, the cardiac and pyloric extremities of the stomach were carefully tied, so that nothing could escape from, or enter into, that viscus: the gall-bladder was secured in the same manner, and both removed from the body. The stomach contained about a pint of black vomit, answering, in every particular, to the description given by different writers upon the sohjcet. The gall-bladder, which was of the na tural size, was (wo-thirds full of deep black bile, of nearly the consistence of tar. I first spread the bile upon a white sheet of paper; it presented the usual dark green tinge, slightly inclining to yellow. Tho black vomit from tiie stomach was also treated in the same manner; the color and appearance were totally different from that of the black bile. The fluid part of the black vomit resembled dirty coffee, while a thick dark sediment, resembling the cof fee, grounds, was deposited on the paper. Some of the black bile was next placed in a vessel containing clear water; it was completely soluble, communicating its peculiar color to the water. The black vomit was next placed in a similar quantity of pure water. Alter the most violent agitation, the dark floculi would sink to the bottom of the vessel, no portion being dis solved, and the warer returning to its natural ap pearance. One other lest was made; this expe riment was tried, as we are informed, by Ur. S. Cooper; I am not at present aware of any other authentic instance. Knowing that the intense bitterness of the bile would be communicated to any substance, however slightly it might bean preguated with it, I resolved to try the different impressions that would lie made upor. the organs of taste, by the two substances. I firsi tasted the black bile, which was intensely bitter. After washing the mouth thoroughly from the impres sion produeed by the bile, 1 then tasted the black vomit taken from the stomach. This communi cated a slightly sour or subacid taste; with this exception, It was entirely insipid—not the slight est traces of bile were discoverable from the taste. This test was repeated by Dr. A. G. Howard, ot Charleston, 8, C., who assisted in the post mor tem examination, and the same characters were recognised by him* The experiments were made in the presence of the Hon. A. Gumming, tho indefatigable and public spirited mayor of our city, and Mr. A. Sibley, one of our most estima ble citizens. There are many other facts connected with tho epidemic, which would not be unworthy of your notice. My numerous engagements render it impossible for me to say more at present. If such facts as these cannot convince the sceptical, argument would certainly be useless—worse than “water split upon a rock.” Augusta, Ga., Oct. 10, 1836. U.N CHARTERED DaNKINO ASSOCIATIONS IN 1 Alabama.—lt has been decided in the Circuit f Court of this State, at the late term held in Bibb - county, that the Real Estate Banks, and other > unchartered Banking Associations, that sprung - up so abundantly in this State a year or two ago, I cannot lawfully maintain suit on the notes and . bills which they have discounted or purchased. Suit was brought to recover the amount of sever ■ al bills so held, for the benefit of the Selma “Real Estate and Banking Company,” and the plea > was interposed that the Company was unauthor . ised by law to do Banking business, and there - fore incompetent to sue. Judge Shortlage sus-‘ 1 tained the plea, and the verdict was taken for the - defendants. The case has been carried up to the Supreme Court on a hill of exceptions to the charge of the Court. —Mobile Journal. , Darkness at Quebec —Sinoular Phe nomenon.—The Quebec Canadian states that j on the forenoon of the 18lh October, a darkness settled upon that city, which rendered the use of candles necessary for several hours in the fore j noon. The wind blew from tlie East, but the darkened clouds came from the West. The at mosphere was moist. The same phenomenon occurred on the 17th of October, 1834 ; and on the lllh of October, 1795. , The Rag ot Gold. f BT SAMUEL RUUEIIN. There lived a lady in the fourteenth century, near Bologna, a widow of the Lambarlini faini -1 ly, called Madonna Lucrezia, who, in a rcvolu lion of tlie State, had known tlie bitterness of ‘ poverty, and had even begged her bread; kneel ing day after day, like a statue at the gale of the r cathedral, her rosary in her left hand, and her " right held out for charity ; her long black veil co vering a lace that had once adorned a court and had received the homage of as many sonnets as r Petrarch lias written Laura. But fortune had at last relented ; a legacy from 1 a distant relation had come to her relief; and she was mistress of a small inn at the foot of the Appeuines, where she entertained as well as she - really could, and where those who stopped who I were contented with a little. The house was still standing, when in youth I passed that way ; ! though the sign of the While Cross, the Cross ■ of the Hospitallers, was not any lunger to be , j seen over the door—a sign which she had taken, i I if we may believe the tradition there, in honor of ■ i the maternal uncle, a grand master of tho order, : I whose achievements she would sometimes relate, t ! A mountain stream ran through the garden, and at no great distance, where the Road turned on its way to Bologna, stood a little chappcl • in which a lamp was always burning before the pic ture of the Virgin, a picture of great antiquity the work of some Greek artist. Here she was dwelling, respected by ail who knew her, when an event occurred which threw her into the deepest affliction. It was ut noon day, in September, when three foot passengers, arrived and seated themselves on a bench under a vine-trellis—were supplied with a flagon of Al cntico by a lovely girl, her only child die image of her form herself. The eldest spoke like a Ve netian, and his heard was short and pointed, after tlie fashion of Venice. In his demeanor ho af fected courtesy, hut his look inspired little confi dence; —Corns he smiled, which he did continu ally, it was with his lips only, not with his eyes, and they were always turned from yours. His companions were bluff and frank in their manner, and on their tongues were many a soldier’s oath. On their hals they wore a medal, such as in that age was often distributed in war; and they were evidently subalterns in one of those hands which arc always ready to serve in any quarrel; if a service it could bo called, where a battle was no more than a mockery, and tho slain, as an open stage, were up and fighting to-morrow. Over come with heat they threw aside their bur thensomc clonk, and with their gloves, tucked un der their belts, continued for sometime in earnest conversation. At length they arose to go, and then tlie Vene tian thus addressed the hostess: . “Excellent lady, may we leave under this roof for a day or two, this hag of gold ?” “You may,” replied she gaily, “but remember we fasten our doors only with a latch. Bars and bolts we have none in our village; and if wc had, where would be your security ?” “In your word, lady.” “But what ts I died to-night, where then would it ho,” said she laughingly. “The money would go to the church, for there would be none to claim it.” “Perhaps you will favor us with an acknow ledgement.” “If you will write it.” An acknowledgement was written according ly, and she signed it before Master Bartoio, the village Physician, who just that moment called by chat.ce to learn the news of the day. the gold to be delivered when applied for, hut not to he delivered (these were the words,) ta one nor two, but to the three ; words wisely introduced hy those to whom it belonged, knowing what they knew of each other. The gold they had just re leased from a miser’s chest in Pcrugic, and they were now on a scent that promised more. They and their shadows had no sooner depart ed, than the Venetian returned, saying: “Give me leave, to set my seal on the bag, as the others have done,” and she immediately placed it on the table before him. But at that moment she was called away to receive a cavalier, who had just dismounted from his horse, and when she return ed it was gone, the temptation had proved irre sistible—and the man and tho bag of money had vanished together. “ Wretched woman that I am !” she cried as in an agony of giief, she fell on her daughter’s neck, “what will become of us ? Are wo again to be cast out into the wide world ? Unhappy child would that thou hadst never been born !” Aml all day long site lamented, but tears availed her little. The others were not slow in return ing totlaim their due, and there were no tidings of the thief, he had fled away with bis plunder. A process against her was instantly began at Bo logna, and what defence could she moke, how to release herself from the obligation of her bond ? Wilfully or negligently she bad parted with it to one, when she should have kept it for all; and inevitable ruin awaited her ! “ GoGianetta,” said she to her young daugh ter, “take this veil which your mother has worn and wept under so often, and implore councillor Calderino to plead for us on the day of trial. But if ho will not, go from door to door—Monal di cannot refuse us. Make haste my child, but forget not tlie chapel, as you pass by it. Noth ing prospers without a prayer.” Alas! she went —hut in vain. Those were retained against them; others demanded more than they had to give, and every one bade them despair. What was to be done 1 No advocate, and the cause was to come on to-morrow. Now Gicnetta hud a lover, and he was a stu dent at law, a young man of great promise, Lo renzo Martclli. Ho had studied long and dili gently under that learned lawyer, Giovanni An dreas, who, thougli little of stature, was great in renown, and by his contemporaries, was called the arch doctor, the rabbi of doctors, the. light of the age. Under him he had studied, silting on the same bench with Petrarch; and also under his daughter. Novella, who would often lecture i to tiie scholars when she was not otherwise enga ged, placing herself behind a small curtain, least her beauty should divert their thoughts, a precau tion in this instant unnecessary, Lorenzo having lost ids heart to another. To him she Ilics in her necessity; but of what assistance can he be ? He had just taken his place at the bar; but he had never spoken, and how stand up alone, nnpracticcd and unprepared i as lie is, against an array that would alarm the most experienced ! “Were Fas mighty aslam weak,” said he, “my fears for you would render me as nothing, But I will he there, Gianettu, and may the friend of the friendless give me strength in that hour. Even now my heart fails me; but, come what will r while I have a loaf to share, you and your mother shall never want, I will beg through the world for you. The day arrived, and the court assembled. The claim is stated and the evidence given—and now , the defence is called for, but none is made, not a syllable ia uttered—and after a pause and some minutes in consultation, the Judges are proceed ing to give judgment, silence having been pro claimed in court, when Lorenzo arises, and thus addresses them: , “ Reverend Seignors—Young as I am, may I venture to speak before you? I would speak in behalf of one who has no one else to help her, f and will not keep you long. Much lias been said • | —much on the sacred nature of the obligation, and wc acknowledge it in its full force. Let it be fulfilled; and to the very last letter. It is what wc solicit—what we required. But to whom is 1 this hag of gold to be delivered ? What says the i bond? Not to one!—not to two ! but to three! Let the three stand forth and claim it!” i From that day (for who can doubt the issue 1 ) —none were sought, none employed but the sub i tic and eloquent Lorenzo, Wealth followed fame; nor need I say how soon he sat at his marriage feast, or who sat with him.
