From the N Y. Com Ado ,of Saturday Later from California. The steamship Illinois, Capt. Hartsteine, from Chagres byway of Kingston, (Jamaica > arrived this morning. The Illinois made the outward passage to Chagres in eight daye three hours. On the re turn, she reached Kingston in forty-ssven hours, and from Kingaton to New York m five days seventeen hours—thus making the running time from Chagres to this city seven days six. teen hours—-being the quickest passage on re cord. The Brother Jonathan arrived at Chagres in nine days six boors from New York, and left on the evening of the 9th inst., for San Juan de Nicaragua, with vary few passenger* on board. The Illinois brings three hundred and seven ty four passengers. The specie on board amounts to $1,859 358. Revolution in Chili. —The French brig Mari# Louise, from Callao, arrived at Panama, on the 2d inst. She reports that when she left, on the 20th of Bept., the steamer Chili had just arrived from Valparaiso, bringing information that a revolution had broken ont in Chili, and that many of the troops had declared in favor of Gen. Santa Crus, for President; that Coquimbo and other cities were in posvesoion of the new party, and that every thing through out the republic was in a disorganized stale. Gen Santa Cruz was the unsuccessful can didate for ihe presidency at the late election, Senor Don Montt being chosen by a large majority. The latter is a civillian, and it being the first time that the army candidate has been beaten, trouble was anticipated when it was known that ha was elected. This anticipation, it appears, has been more than realized. From Californio.—By this arrival we have San Francisco papers of the 15th of Septem ber, nine cays later than our previous advices. The intelligence generally is not of the average interest or importance. The San Francisco Herald of the latest date, in its summary pre pared for the steamer, says: The leading event of interest, and one which has been the ohief topic of discussion in po litical cirticles during the past fortnight, is the election of State and county officers, which was held on the 3d inst. In this county, the Whigs obtained an average majority of 695 for State officers. For county officers the honors are about equally divided. The returuß from sev eral of the frontier counties have not yet been received, and there is still ■ doubt as to the ro suit for Governor. The vote is very close; both parties claim the victory, and the official returns can alone decide the question. The remainder of the Democratic State ticket, in cluding Messrs. E. C. Markle and McCorkle, for Congress, are elected. The Legislature will be Democratic in both branches, and will no doubt elect a Democrat to the U. 8. Senate immediately after organizing. The vote throughout the State is small. A most important step has been taken by the inhabitants of the Southern counties, ds sireua of dividing the state and forming a Ter lituria! government for that portion. Two addresses have been issued to secure eoncert of ac ion, and a convention of delegates has been called to assemble in Santa Barbara on tho third Monday in October. Delegates have already been appointed to attend from Santa Clara, San Diego, and other counties. All the members of the Legislature recently elect ed front that section at the state are pledged to urge a division of the ensuing session. Crime has most sensibly diminished through out the state, and no execution hvs taken place, either here or in the interior, since the sailing of the last steamer. The Indians in the southern part of the State are quiet; tnose in lbs North, in Trinidad and Klamath coun ties, are becoming somewhat troublesome. The gold diggings continue to yield rich re turns to the labors of the miners. The auri ferous quartz veins are being extensively worked, and generally with great success. The amount shipped by the steamer Panama which leaves to-day, $1,700,000, exhibits no falling off in the production of gold in our state. In the dry diggings, miners aro only waiting for the rainy season, to take out large amounts of gold. San Francisco has recovered from the two great conflagrations of May and June, and has been rebailt in far better style than before. Numerous fireproof brick and stone buildings have been erected, and many others have been commenced. Altogether, the condition of af fairs in our state is highly satisfaetory. Another fire at M*ryso.Ue. —The Marysville Herald records another large fire in that city, which took place ou the 10th of Sept. The flames were first seen rising from the rear part of the store of Mitchell A Nums, on the Sc nth side of First, near, and West es D street. In the course of net more than half an hour all the houses inoleded in the following limits were utterly consumed. All the bouses on the South side of First street, from D street to the a,ley dividing the blook between D and C streets ; the houses on the alley, from First street to the Levee, except the corner house end the one adjoining, the houses fronting the Levee from the alley io Datreet; all the houses on D street from the Levee to First street— the whole sqnsre with the exception of the two above buildings, being totally levelled to the ground. There were in all about 25 buildings burned. Scarcely any of the goods in tha burnt dis trict were saved. The following is a list of losses, so far as we could get them at the moment. Friedman A Co., .(6,000 Mitchell A Nums, B,GW Joseph A Co., building, 1,800 do stock 6 000 Senwab A Schmidt - 15,000 Simmerty, meat market 1,000 J. A C. Levy A Co- •••••••••«•»«•••••• 10,000 Wolf A Co 3,900 Tuscan A Figle* 4,000 M. Coodman,. 5,000 There was a serious fire at Spanish town •r Ysella, on the Callaveras river, on the 6th of September. About oae hundred and fifty houses and tents ware destroyed, with proper ty estimated at $350,000. The fire originated in the American Hotel. The flamer spread with such rapidity that the building and its contents were destroyed, while the fire was communicated to the adjoining buildings. Bev©r»l ai abtiinod firms were burned eat, and among them Lovelace A Willi a(na , loss $15,. 000 { Purcell, Johnson A Co., $26,000, John son, Eber A Co., $30,000 Indian A Join. —Dr. Wozeoorafi. the In dian commissioner, returned to San Francisco from his tour of the Indian district, on the 10th of September. He was te proceed in a few daye to the Cosumnes river and Lawson’s ranch, on the Sacramento, for the purpose of treating with deputations of the hostile tribes in that reigion, who were the cause of the state troops being called into raquiaion. Alta California says: With tbo exception of these tribes, all the Indians South of Pitt river have agreed to the terms proposed by Dr. Wozencraft, and hd has every confidence that they will adhere to the stipulations, and if not molested give no further trouble to the whites Dr W. thinks that before toe expiration of the year, ther>will be ns many as 80,000 Indians upon the reser vations already made, a large number having already commenced their occupation. With a party of dragoons the commissioner penetrated tb* country North of the Pitt River accompained by a number of friendly Indians, but the savages of that district fled at their approach like antelopes. He tksn returned and camped on a small creek emptying into Pitt River, and aubseqneatly with Lieut. Wright, who accompanied the ex pedition as a volunteer, and a small party es men, made a rapid march np tha creak, and came upon a large party of Indiana. A few shots were fired and the Indians fled. Lieut. W. was hit with an arrow, bat very slightly in jured. Tonr Indians were taken prisoners and conveyed to eamp, but they enbseqnently escaped. The first reservation made by Dr. Wozea craft comprizes about twenty five sqoire miles. The boundary line runs East from the Ba erairento River, North of Reading’s, for 25 miles, thence North to Pitt River, and ia bound, ed on the North by that stream. The second reservation is on Feather River, and eoneisteef n narrow etrip of land about six miles broad by twenty in length, and upon which there aro now tho representatives of twenty two different tribea. The third reservation is on the Saerameato river, to tho north of Sntter’aelaim, extending back abont three miles, and ap tho river fifteen miles. This will probably be occupied by, from 250 f to 3000 Indiana from tho coast range and all in the Sacramento valley, from Btone ereek to Feather river, and froaa tho mouth of the Yaba. The foarth reservation osmprises • tract of land twelve miles square, between the Bear and Yuba rivers, set aside some time sinee, upon which it is anticipated there will be between 6000 and 7000 Indians. Tai Lonnen Exnismo*.—A letter from Edward Riddle, Esq., the American Commis* sionor, has the following items under date of Lokdoit, Sept. 26. Os the articles added to our department since my last letter, most honorable notice has been taken by the daily journals. Indeed, for the last four weeks there hae been an evident effort on the part of the leading papers, snd of the Times especially, to treat our part of the Exhibition with marked consideration, noticing in full, not only the contributions recently added, but what ever of merit and ingenuity was observed among our heretofore much abused productions. It is not the quality of our race on either side of the Atlantic to be overstocked with humility. When we were best abused, we were not in* dined to cultivate any extraordinary amount of self-abasement. And now that we aro most indiscriminately praised, whatever may be the motives of our encomiasts, I very much doubt the salutary effect which will be produced upon us, abroad or at home. Among our new contributions no single one has excited more attention, or been received with more favor, than the Maynard lock and primer, of which I have spoken before. I took occasion to show its operation to one of the editors of the Time*, who was so struck with its ingenuity, simplicity, efficiency, and redac tion of cost, that it was immediately noticed In that paper, and as a consequence in many others. Through the influence of Col. Reid, I succeeded in calling the attention of the Government to its merits, and it is now at the Board of Ordance Department, awaiting the meeting of the com mittee on email arms to test its practicability. The gold plate just sent from the house of Meas. Ball, Thompkins A Black, of New York, and during the last week only exhibited, has ex cited much attention from its tasteful design, accomplished workmanship, and above all, ex traordinary auriferous coler. This service of plate, a present from the Mayor and ethers of New York, to E. K. Collins, Esq., is said to be twenty-three carats fine —a moat unusual maxi mum tor beating gold, and accounted for by the •uperior malleability of the California metal. Mr. Bigelow, of Boston, has given ns an im> portant accession of strength in the shape of some specimens of Brussels carpet, woven upon Kwer looms. Although various attempts have en made to adapt the power loom to carpet weaving in England, theie has never been any machine perfected for that object. The loom upon which there carpets were woven has been some time in nse, and upwards of eight hundred hands are now employed in their manufacture. Each loom requires the attendance only of one girl, which, in the ordinary mode of carpet weaving by hand, a weaver is required in addi tion to another to draw. It is capable of produ cing four times the quantity in the same space of time as coaid be woven upon the hand loom. As many colors can ba used in weaving as in the ordinary Brussels carpet, and the specimens show an even, regular thread, tar surpassing the productions of the hand loom. By the decision of the Executive Committee I was obliged to forego the satisfaction of exhib iting that meritorious specimen of art, the apoth eosis of Washington, which waa received among our recent contributions. I greatly regret this but it was not to be avoided. Indeed it was not until the picture was unpacked, strstchod, and framed, that I learned the Executive Committee feared dissatisfaction would be given by its ex hibition to other foreigners who had been pre cluded from the same privilege. lam happy in being able to eay, however, that it hae been seen and appreciated by aome of the connoisseurs in the fine arts in London. Mr. Ashcroft’s invention for preventing steam b oiler explosions has attracted much notice from engineers and other practical scientific men here, 'i he experiments he is making have satis factorily settled the correct application of the principle he claims. Orders have been given for its introduction into several new steamers now fitting for sea. Among the members of the Jury upon musi cal, instruments was M. Thslberg, the unrivalled pianist, whose compositions have given him pre eminent renown all over the world. I feel under personal obligations to him for the fairness with which he insisted that every one of our instru ments, especially piano fortes, should be tried. In the violins of Oemunder also, he was of most special service to us, tryiug each one himself and returning once and again to pass npon the merit of a Cremoni, with which he was greatly delighted. Should Tbalberr carry out hia inten tion of visiting the United States another year, our citizens will have an opportunity of enjoying a feast in mutic to which they have rarely been treated. To the moving machinery department of the Exhibition, where from the beginning our show has basn of the smallest, there has recently been added from one of our Western States, by a Western man, one of the moat Ingenious ma chines in the World | I refer to the stave ma chinoof Mr. Wells, of Milwaukie. This very complicated but effective piece of machinery ac complishes the work of six men, taking the timber from block and producing staves of the reqaislte site and shape far more perfectly than they are ever made by hand. It is exciting much interest among those who daily visit that part of the Exhibition. Lath from Fort Larime—Ttxatt witr the Inoiass—Cholera or tbi Uffcr Missusim.— Bt. Louit, Fridmg, Oel. 18 —Col. Cow per Rod Major Chilton arrived hare to* day, bringing la tore from tbe treaty groand. The treaties with tha aeveral ladian tribee have been finally coaeltided, and the presents distributed by Col. Whitehall, who was to leave for tbe states on tha ovoning of tha 24. ii. home little excitement wee produced hy the arrival of an express from the trading ports on the Upper Mississippi, advising Col. Mitch ell of the prevalence of tbeeholera among tha l ndiaus of that section. A delegation from the several tribes partial* patieg in the treaties are to visit the President at Washing.on, sod, it is understood, will so* company the commissioner to tbiseitp. Two companies of Rifles wore despatched as an escort, and Maj. Chilean, with his Com paq °* dragoons, same on in advanee. The whole party is expected hero the latter part of next week. Chronicle (tuft Sentinel. APCMTBTA. OA t WEDNESDAY M0RN1NG.... ...0CT. 28 Th« AfitoMlural Vaii« W* take pleasure in calling the atten’ien of the public to the advertisement of the Georgia Railroad, proposing to transport passengers to the Agricnltnral Fair at Macon, and to express the hope that a large number of the planters will avail themselves of the opportunity to be present. These Fairs are ameng the most efficient means for developing the resources of our great and growing|State, and no true Georgian who feels a just pride in the rapid progress which the State is making in her onward march to greatness, should fail to give them his earn est and sealons support. This is emphatically the age of progress and improvement in Agriculture, Mechanics, the Arts and Sciences, and those planters who ne gleet or omit to avail themselves of the benefit which these exhibitions are se well calculated, and will so certainly confer, will as certainly be left behind in the roes. Go, then, all of you, and improve yourselves by learning from one anether. Isath Carolina Election* Tbo returns of the leto election in South Caroline for delegatee to the Southern Can. gross are very near complete, and ahew that in a vote of npwerda of 40,000 tho Co-operation majority is 8,076. This result brings fresh to oar recollection the prophetic spirit exhibited by the disunion organs in Georgia daring the recent canvass, when wiih a view to help their sinking for tunes, they sought to cateh a sow credo lons voters by pnrsnading them, "if Coxa was alec* ted in Georgia, South Carolina would imma* diately secede !” What now will be thought of tho prophets and their prediction T Coxa has beta elected by over 18,000 majority—the news was spread throughout Sooth Carolina, and lo I that State bearepndieted Secession and the Secession ists by ever S,OOO votes I ladeed the Secessionist, have only carried e single congressioal district in the State. Wba t a triumph of liberty, the constitution and the Union! Dxvaloatiox. —The Nashville Bmnntr ey the 18th inat. says: Having heard is the atreet > aome rumor of a defalcation bj the Taller in the Bank of Tennessee, we have made inquiry into the matter, and learn the facta to be, that n the quarterly examination at the Bank, on he lat of October, the eaah account of Mr. Run, the Teller, waa found to be akort be tween coven and eight thenaand dollar*, and that open farther inveatigation, aundry error* or emisaion* of entry were diaoovered, by which the amount will be ran np te aom* twelve or fiAeen thenaand dollara.

Having bean Teller ey the Bank from ita commencement, and enjoy ed a high reputation aa a buaineaa man, we cannot but regret that he ahould, at an ad. vanead period in lifo, become ao aarioualy in volved. Tan Gzeat ExniaiTiojr.—The editor of the New York Tribune, who aervad on one es the Juriea of the Grant Indaatrial Exhibition in London, haa published a notiee of the Price* awarded, ao far aa they came within hia knowl edge. These prizea were of two kinds, the Jury Medals, awarded by the juries to the sev eral artielea es merit exhibited in their several olasses, and the Ceuneil Medals, given by the Council of Presidents of the juries. Os the latter there were to be in all but 169, which were to be distributed among the several na tions, thus: To Great Britain 79; to Germany 12; to Austria 4; to Bblgium 2; to Tuscany 2; te Spain 1; to France 56; to United States 5; to Russia 3 ; to Switzerland 8; to Hslland 2; to Rome 1; to Turkey 1.

At 10 o'clock on tba evening of tha 25th, tha submarine tale graph was laid to within throe miles of the French coast, and was in actual operation, be tween the steamer Blaser, which was employ ed in depositiag the wire, and London. The following eitraot from a letter of the above dates describes the process i “Th# vessels arrivtd off tbs South Voroland at half-past six o'clock.

Wasuixutox Citt, Oct. 15, 1851. Thu late election in Georgia, 1 trust, from the returns received, hs_. been responded to in Pennsylvania by the defeat of Johnson. I think alao, that it does not exhibit much strength for Gen. Scott, the tilent candidate, in the Keystone State. But I did not take up my pen to give yon news, or discuss the merits of any candidate for the Presidency, but to show the triumph of truth. In the Washington Union of this morning there is a very complimentary notice of Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, the Governor elsct, to which every friend of that gentleman will respond. Bat, at the same time, I have no confidence ia the sincerity of the editor, for at first, when he thought the whole Democratio party of Georgia, would support McDonald, he gave Mr. Cobb bat a lukewarm, and that conditional* support Besides, the same paper, in another article, charges "the Whigs of Virginia and tbo Whigs of the whole South, as attempting to use, er rather abuse, the patriotic impulses of the people." If Mr. Donelaen really thinks so of the Georgia Wbigs, he exhibits but little sagacity in praising a triumph in which they shared largely and which, if he believea, as he asserts, relecta credit upon tho political course of Mr. Cobb, attaches with e«|ual credit to those who hare sustained him. But the triumph of Messrs. Cobb, Stephens and Toombs, does not consist so much in the triumphant approval of their course and the large majorities they have reeeived, as the acknowledgement now, on the part of those who differed with them then, that they were right from the beginning. The Union, in the article to which I have alluded, says, that be (Mr. Cobb) "opposed the Southern address which emanated from Mr. Calhoun, and out of which may be said to have come the Nashville Convention." What an admission for the Washington Union t just look over the files of that paper for Janusry and February, 1849, and see the denuncia tions against the Southern Whigs for their course on that snbjeot. Itistroe. it was theu conducted by Mr. Ritchie, bnt the party South, with the exception of a very few, sus tained that address. And if my recollection serves me, in his paper of the 16th of Jan uary, 1849 —1 have it not before me and write from memory—Mr. Ritchie predicted that the Southern Whigs bad dug their grave by their course. Ue, no doubt, intended to include Mr. Cobb and those other Democrats who refused to sign that address, that Southern address, which now proves, according to the opinion of Mr. Doxelson, the successor of Mr. Ritchie, to have been the Father of the NaskaiUe Contention- You will remember that two addresses were presented to the meeting of tin Southern members, the one, I believe, prepared by Mr. Calhoun, the other by Mr. Berrien, the former of which was adopted by a vote exclusively Democratic, with the single exception of Gayle, of Ala bama. It ia also upon the record that Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, introduced a resolution to the effect that it waa inexpedient to issue any address to the Southern people. Now the metropolitan organ perceivaa what wero the consequences of that address, praises Mr. Cobb for his independent action on that occa aion, and yet pretends to beliove that Messrs. Toombs and Stephens, who were sustained at that time by Mr Cobb, are attempting "to nse, or rather abuse, the patriotic impulses of the people." Ido not refer to these things for the purpose of claiming for the Southern Whigs the exclusive credit of having foreseen the trouble that that address would bring upon the South, or battliog against and successfully resisting the evil consequences of that pro duction, but to shew tbe unfairness of an editor, whose views of patriotism and duty never extend beyond the idea of appropriat ing every thing, whether rightfully or wrong fully, to hia own party. Besides, it gives me an opportunity of exhibiting the sagacity of tbe "triumvirate" as they are termed by their enemies, Messrs. Toombs,Cobb and Stephens, by showing their consistency in this whole matter. The Union newspaper, and almost the entire preas of ita party So nib, denounced these yery men for witholding their approbation and signatures from au address, a Southern address, which now, that same paper, which clamors daily about the National Democracy, asserts produced the Nashville Convention, the object es which was to dissolve the Union. Do the records of the peat presents more complete triumph es truth, or a mare successful vindi cation of the wisdom of these men, relative to this subject, from the beginning to the end 7 Had Messrs. Cobb, Toombs and Stephens, yielded to tbo influences which were brought to boar at the time of the issue of the South ern address, such as sectional appeals and wise predictions of political death, this Union would, in all probability, hava bean dissolved. But wi b the meui comein recti, they did their duty then, and their reward nets ia tbo trium phant approval by the paopie, and a ooufession of jndgment by their opponents. Long may they live to enjoy that eontidenee and servo tboir country with a saal commensurate with their ability. "As Oxsxnvan." Tlso Wife ml Kossuth. The New York Eupran, in an article on the expected arrival of Kossuth, relates the follow ing incident, illustrative of the devotion of his wife to her husband after being exiled to Tur key: With him oemes his heroic wife, who, after his exile commenced in Turkey, with incredi ble sacrifices and devoted disregard to a thou sand dangers, traversed hostile territories, sub mitted to deprivations and underwent suffer ings of every kind, joined him at his retreat, by the foot of Mount Olympus. It was under the protection of a pasapoat from the British Con sul General, at Belgrade, that as British sub jects, under assumed names, she and her com panions were enabled to accomplish this sreat adventure, and when, on the twenty-eighth day, a courier was sent in advance of them to apprise Kossuth of their approach to tihumla,— (ho was ill, and on account of the many plans el the Austrians te assassinate him, the Sultan's authorities would not allow him leave Shumla and go te meet bis wife,) the news es her do liveranoe and her approach occasioned the liveliest satisfaction to all the refugees; and the Hungarians and Polas went as far as the gates of the city to meet this heroic martyr of the cause of Hungary. It was night when the carriage neared the city; and as it entered the gates she found the stree a lighted with hun dred* of lights, gre«n, wbi e, and red, (he colors of the Hungarian d ig, and was welcomed with tho moat friendly shoots from the whole body of tbe refugees. And tbe account from which wa have quoted goes on to say : "When Madame Kossuth descended from berearriage she found herself in the presence of her husband, who had risen from his bed of illness to receive the poor * Maria F n," of the plains of Hungary. In place of receiving her in his arms, M. Kossuth, overcome by feelings of admiration tor the sufferings which his wife had undergone, and by gratitude for her devotion to the cause of her country, threw himself at her feet and kissed them. She endeavored to apeak and offer her hus band consolation and tranquiiity, while her own poor feeble heart waa ready to burst with amotion. Her voice failed her, and amid the reiterated shouts of the Hungarians and Poles, this heroic woman was oarriad to her hus band’s apartments." In our rejoicings, therefore, at the liberation and the coming hither of the great patriot, let os not forget tbe heroic adventures of his no ble wife, and let the same interest which the British Consul at Belgrade, and the united population of Shumla displayed in her success, tbe same respect for her virtaes, the same joy at her happiness, be manifested by the fathers and sons, the brothers and husbands of Ame rican women. Fatal CoxsxqusNeES of Follt.— An oc currence, which happened at a young ladies’ seminary in New York, is men.ioned in the Times of that city, which presents another proof of the folly of indulging in the thought less practice of a'tempiing to frighten others. Two of the young ladies in the institution were engaged in their own room, conversing upon the science of anatomy, in the course of which one of them proceeded to relate some experi ence she had formerly acquired in a dissecting room. Just as the conversation reached this point, the door of the room opened, and an other of the inmates of the seminary entered with slow and solemn tread, having a white ■beet wrapped about her form, and her face powdered to perfect whiteness, her jet black hair, eyes, and brows, presenting a contrast which gave a startling hvidness to her ghost like countenance. The lady who was relating her experience, as already stated, is said to be mentally superior to any of her classmates, and noted for her strength of mind and free dom from nervousness and absurd sensibility. So sadden, however, was the approach of the figure, just at a moment when her mind was least prepared for any thing associated with thoughts of the dead, that upon beholding the apparition she fell senseless to the floor, and •woke to the scenes around her only to show her anxieus attendants that reason had fled and last sad tokens of the mental wreck. At last accounts no change was discoverable in the distressing symptoms of the unfortunate girl, and there is little encouragement to hope that reason will ever resume its seat. r l his occur rence, of course, has produced much distress, both in the seminary and in the families of the respective parties. A Petrified Hcmax Bodt.— Several streets being about to be opened through the Metho dist Episcopal grave yard and Light st., extend ed, a large number of tho remains of the dead have been removed by their relatives and friends. This week, taking out the coffin of Mrs. Vansant, a lady who has been dead 17 years, the lid being partially broken in, Mr. Vansant, the hnsbsnd of the deceased and the Shane, who were present, noticed that the body appeared whole, and on examin ing it, found that it was petrified as bard as a stone, and perfect in all its parts, the only change being that it was nearly black. The grave was in a wet place, much of the ground being in fact so moist that it is necessary to bora boles in the sound coffins in order tbst the water may run oat. Wa have beard of the petrifaction of human bodies elsewhere, but this is the first case that has come under our knowledge in this city or State.— Baltimore Clipper. 1 rlbnta of Kespeot.
