Naid of the Eden dime,
Where flowers spring in fadeless beauty ;
Airs Aonian waft the rhyme
That bears to thee a minstrel’s ditty.
Ah, art singing—
Captives bringing?
Siren, cease tLy sonorous strain I
Par sure he's lost
Who nears the coast
That owns thy wild enchantment’s reign.
Plower that blooms beneath the hedge-row,
All the sweeter for the shadow;
Apollo kisses with divine glow
No sweeter flower than decka the meadow.
Say, doth the bee
Hymn love to thee 1
Nymph, beware the praise he brings I
For thi* he’s wise,
Therein him lies
The heart to rob e’an while be singa.
Planet queen in skies of dream land,
What are night stars brightly beaming—
When Eros lifts o’er sleep love’s weird wand,
And though art real in tby seaming!
Sweet one, thou
The Mecca-heart
Where I will pledge life’s pilgrim vow ;
And life passed o’er,
On Aidenn’s shore
I’ll meet thee, Anna, then aa now !
Melancholy Accident.—lt ia with paieful
•motiona that we record the aodden and unex
pected death, on Monday last, of Lewis Le-
Conte, or Liberty county, by the discharge
of bis own gun. As far as we are informed,
the circumstances of this melancholy affair
are as follows: Mr. LeConte left his resi
dence at Walthourville in his buggy to visit his
plantation some ten or twelve miles distant.
He took with him charged with buck
shot. Within a short time after he had left his
home his horse was found in the road near hia
Elantation, by one of bis servants, with the
uggy, a «d no one it. This ciicumstance cre
ated surprise, when some of his servants im
mediately returned with the buggy, in search
of their master. The/ had not proceeded far
before they found him lying liieless in the
road.
The horse appears not to have been fright
ened, but proceeded on until he reachdd the
second bridge, in ascending which, the body
fell from the buggy, where it was found, the
horse continuing on to the plantation. We
further learn that the clothing of the deceased
was set on fire, and that one of his arms was
somewhat burnt. The clothing of one of his
legs was also much chafed and torn by the
wheels of the buggy, before ha was thrown
cut—thus leaving no doubt that the accident
bad occurred before be reached tbe second
bridge, were be was found. The charge of
tbe gun consisted, we are informed, of a pat
tent wire cartridge, containing nine buckshot.
The verdict of tbe jury was in accordance
with these faoit.
Mr. Le Conte was in the vigour and prime
of manhood. He possessed a strong mind,
highly cultivated. Honorable in his'deport
ment, kind end conciliating in his social rela
tions, he was endeared to. and shared largely
in, the confidence and regard of his numerous
friends. He has left an afflicted wife, four
■mall children, an 1 a large eircie of relatives,
to mouru his untimely end, and their irrepara
ble loss. While astuden at college, the de
ceased attached himsolf to the Presbyterian
church, and, in his life, he illustrated tbe graces
•f “faith, hope, and charity.”

Another Disaster at Plaqueminr.— On
Tuesday night last, says the Plaquemlne Senti
nel, a cave occurred on Fourth street, commen
cing at the mouth of the Bayou and extending
dawn as tar as Penn’s alley, a distance of some
two hundred and fifty yards. Fortunately no
houses were submerged by the ca7e ; but the
apace which will be necessary for the construe
of a new and substantial levee, will cause many
a valuable mansion to be torn down. Several
proprietors have already commenced extirpating
their domicils to build again, we presume, on a
more secure spot. The loss by this sad disas
ter is computed to be immensely great.—JV. O.
Dee.
The Small Pex.—We are informed that a
second ease of Small Pox has been developed
on the Knoville Road, about three miles f. om
this city. It is stated that it was communicated
by persons improperly visiting the Aeademy
where the other case existed. We understand,
however, that guards have been stationed
around the premises, with strict orders to al
low no one to enter, except the attending
Phys'cians* There has been no case nearer
the city than the above; and with proper vigil
ance, we see no reason why it may not be
confined to its present limits. We pledge
ourselves not to deceive the public iu regard
to thia matter. We will atate “ the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but tbe truth ” in
regard to it, and will use all due diligence to
obtain the faete. Thus far, there is no danger
to persons visitirg the plaoe, as no case has
existed here. —Journal If Meetenger.
_ ifuRDKK. —On Friday evening last, at Eaat
Point in this county, a difficulty occurred be
tween a man by the name of Raterree and two
young mea by the name of Conally, in whieb
one of them. Thomaa Conally, waa killed,
and the other, John Conally, was dangeroualy
wounded.
We understand that the three young men
had met at a house of bad charaoter, when a
dispute arose, and Retterreedrew a piatel and
shot Thomas Conally, tbrouge; and thenfrred
upon John Conolly, wounding him danger
ously in the breast-
Raterrae has mads his escape, and a reward
of S3OO has been offered for his apprehension.

Tbk Use or Frpit. —lnstead of standing in
any fear of a generous consumption of ripe
fruits, we regard them as positively eonduoive
to health. The very maladies commonly as
sutned to have their origin in the free use of
apples, peaches, cherries, melons, and wild
berries have been quite as prevalent, if not
equally destructive, in seasons of scarcity.
*P® r ® »»• so nany erroneous notions enter
tained of the bad efTects of fr it, that it is quite
time a counteracting impression should be
promulgated, having is foundation in common
sense and based on the common observation
of the intelligent. We have no patienee in
reading the endless roles to be observed in this
Sartieolar depsrtment of physical comfort
[o one, we imagine, ever lived longer or freer
from the paroxysms of disease, by discarding
the delicious fruits of the land in which he
finds a home. On the contrary, they are nee
esaary to the preservation of health, and aie
therefore caused to make their appearance at
the very time when the condition of the body,
operated upon by tho deteriorating causes not
always _ understood, requires their gratofol,
renovating influences.— Botton Mod, and Burg.

Dn. Pxirt F« Ev*.—Wa learn from the
Nashville papers, that Paul F. Eve, M. D-,
formerly Professor of Bnrgery in the Georgia
Medical College, has bean selected to fill the
same Chair in the Medical University of Nash
ville. Dr. Eve has won a distinguished repu
tation by yean of strict devotion to business
and by almost unive. sal success in the prac
tice of hia profession. It would be matter of
deep regret if hia ripe experienoe aad distin
guished services should be lost to his native
State. We ere pleased, however, to learn
that he only contemplates remaining in Nash
ville a part of each year—that Augusta will be
regarded aa his permanent home, and that our
ritixens may a ill hope to avail themselves of
his skillful and humane attentions.
Dr. Eve will also be associated with Dr.
Bowling, as joint Editor of the Nashville
Journa' es Medicine and Surgery—a periodi
cal conducted with decided ability, and which
we moat cordially commend to the patronage
of the profession. In No V. aad Vol II of
the Journal, wa notice quite an interesting
paper on the treatment of a "wound of the In
ternal Mammary Artery.” The party treated,
is well known in Georgia, and we have no
doubt that the particulars wi>l be read with
interest by the pnblic, as well as by gentlemen
of the lancet and scalpel.— Jour. 5f Meta.
The Cokgeishoxai. Districts. —We de
sire to call the attention of the members of the
Legislature to the immense disparity in the
votes east in tha several Congressional Dis
tricts. There are eight Districts. The whole
vote east for Congress was as follows, via: in
the Ist District, 8 290 ; in the 2nd. 15,092 ;
in the 3rd, 11,864 ;in the 4th, 13,351; in the
stb, 21,363 ;in the 6tb, 9,756; in the 7th,
6709 ; in the Bth, 7,242 —making a grand total
of 93,667 votes.
From this, it will be sren that the sth Dis
trict casts nearly one-fourth of the entire vote
of the State. It polls nearly as many votes as
the first, seventh and eighth districts taken
together. This disparity may be accounted
for, in part, by the operation of the federal
basis. By reference to the last oensus, how
ever, it will be seen that the apportionment is
grossly unequal and unjust; and ought to
reoeive the early attention of the next legis
lature. Under the late census it becomes
particularly the dnty of that body, to re
organise and equalise the Districts. We
hope this wII be done fairly and honestly,
without any attempt at gerrymandering. The
Districts ought to be made as compact as
possible and to be particularly arranged with
reference to the speedy and safe transmission
of intelligence to some central point in evch,
aa well as to some central point in the State.—
Jour. If Meat.
Latter from Gtyt> Kelly—Consul Owen#
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept 30.
Gentlemen ; —Enclosed you will find a letter
of mine, in reply to Mr. Owen's defence, which
I had intended to reserve until 1 returned to New
Odeansand publish it in the Picaynne, but the
necessity of refuting that man’s falsehoods press
ed to hard upon me that 1 have determined to
put him in his right position at once before pro
ceeding any further on my journey j and accor
dingly insert it to day in the Plaindealer, of this
city. By your giving my letter a place in your
paper, you will much oblige your obedient ser
vant, J. A. Kelly.
Dnar Sib—l see a letter going the rounds of
the papers lrom Allen F. Owen, U. S. Consul at
Havana. Permit me, through the columne of
your paper, to correct some of his statements in
regard to his conduct towards Col. Crittenden’s
command, and other American prisoners since
confined in the Punta at Havana. In the first
place, he says t
“I reside about four miles from this place, and
not being well on the morning of the 16th, did
not reach my office till seme time after 10 o’clock
where for the first time, I hea d of the capture
of about fifty of the men who had come with
I.opex to this island In the steamer Pampero. 1
at the same time heard that the prisoners had
been tried, found guilty, condemned, ordered to
be executed, the order for their execution sent
forward, and that they were about being removed
from the harbor, where they were, to the place
of execution.’’
This is the most perfect collection of falsehood
I ever met with, and ia on'y equalled in absur
dity by the audacity of the man in thus attempt
ing to justify his conduct through the American
press. He does not live four miles out of town,
nor was he tick at the time referred to. He
did know in time of the arrest of Crittenden and
his party, and was sent for by them, and posi
tively refused to see them on the score that they
were outlaws. The American, German and
English citizens resident in Havana, will testify
to this whenever called upon.
The American Consul’s assertion that the
prisoners bad been ttied, found guilty and con
demned, is a falsehood, and every man in the
United States, at all acquainted with Spanish
law and Spanish rule, must aee it at once It is
not the cuetora to try prisoners in Havana,
other than by thegaroteor by shooting in the
back, which Mr. Owen knew at the time ho
penned hislotter,aa well as the Governor Gener
al did himself; and, judging from Mr. Owen’s
conduct, 1 should think ho was more in dread of
getting in prison himself than anxieua to get
others out. The Governor General exercises
great influence over cowardly wretches like Al
len F. Owen, no matter what country they may
hall from. Hence I account in a great measure,
for his reglectof duty in permitting the Amer
icans to be shot.
With regard to the other prisoners, his conduct
is equally outrageous. When I reached the pris
on i found eight or ten of my comrades there,
and they all said that the Consul had not been to
see them. 1 also sent the same evening by an
American at Havana, to Mr. Owen, and he re
fused to come, saying our Government did not
recognize us. When Cspt. Platt of the sloop of
war Albany, visited us, I sent to Mr. Owen by
him and he again refused to come.
Then Lieut. Taylor of the Albany, said he
would "make him come,” and the next morning
Mr. Owen paid us a visit with Capt. Platt. As
he came in the Americana gathered around him
and for some reason he backed through the door,
and held conversation with us with the grates
intervening. 1 then asked him to assist me in
corresponding with my friends in the United
States. He refused to help me, and said that 1
would be sent to Spain.
Many of the prisoners then gave up all hope
of assistance from the American Consul, and
threw themselves on the ptotection of Hr.
Crawford, the British Consul. Two of the Mis
sissippi volunteers, American, called thsmselves
Irish men, in order to obtain assistance from tho
English Consul.
After I was released, and while remaining on
board the ship Norma, the American Consul
asked a friend of mine from New Orleans if I
knew why I was released. My friend said no.
Mr. Owen then said, that he did not want the
credit or the blame of my release to rest upon
him.
My object in publishing this letter la to de
fend the reputation of my gallant companions
now in prison, by refuting the falsehoods in Mr.
Owen’s letter, and to snow to the American
people the true character of their Consul at Ha
vana.
Will the papers that have p üblished Mr. O wen’s
letter give this a place in their columns!

the omission, a few days, of a number of adver
tisements.
To the Public.
Oom brief connection with the Columns of
this paper has terminated. At some sacrifice
of personal ease and comfort, we have endeav
ed, so far as wo could, to aid the caase of the
Union party in Georgia. We trust that our
gratification at its triumph has been higher and
purer than that of a mere partisan. With a
hearty “ God speed ” to the cause, of whose
ultimate and national sucoess we hope (be re
cent election in Pennsylvania is an omen and
a precursor, we take our leave of oar readers.
Sum Bassett
Wb doubt not that our readers, equally
with ourselves, will regret the termination of
Mr. Barsbtt’s connection with this journal,
for during his brief career as Associate Editor,
he contributed largely to their entertainment
and instrnetion, in the elucidation of the great
principles involved in the late canvass; which
be discussed with marked ability, and a point*
force and directness, not only peculiarly his
own, but rarely equalled. We part with him
with unfeigned regret, and should have been
much pleased if his connect ion could have
been prolonged much bey end the period origi.
nally contemplated in bis engagement.
In conclusion, it may nit be improper to
assure our readers and friends, thousands of
whom have never faltered in their cordis) sup
port of our journal, that our highest efforts
shall, as heretofore, be zealously directed to
render it worthy their continued confidence,
and equally useful in the promulgation of
sound, conservative political principles, as it
has always been preminent, if «ot the most
prominent and efficient, in the develepemeat
of the resources of our own, our native
Georgia.
Concert Postpone*.
Wi taka pleasure in announcing that Ha.
dam Vibtti and Signiors Sabqorico and
Atio.vose, have arrived in Augusta, and will
giro their first and only concert, Monday eve
ning next. The fatigue consequent upon their
recent engagement in Charleston, and the
travel hither have rendered the postpomentnot
only desirable, but necessary until Monday,
when we feel cnfident these distinguished Ar.
lists will meat a most cordial greeting from the
lovers of song.
The Georgia Home Gasette.
In the hurly-burly of getting things arranged
in onr new office, we have omitted to notice
the appearance in this city, on Monday last,
of "The Georgia Hons Gazette," a weekly
jonrnal, “devoted to Literature, the Ladies,
Art, Science, Edacation, Miscellany, general
Intelligence and Southern Interests," publish
ed and Edited by Robt. A. Whttb, Esqr.
It is quite a handsome sheet, of very res
pectable proportions, and judging from tho
first number, we think it will commend itself
to public favor as a firesiis, Asms journal,
which may be read with pleasure and profit
by all classes. Sack a paper is much needed in
Georgia, and we trust an intelligent and dis
cerning publio will foster it with ears, rather
than contribute t> swell the circulation of those
lees deserving. Terms, Two Dollars a yesr
in advanoe.
The New York Commereiat Advertiser, and
the New Orleans Picayune, have both made
their appearaaos within a fair days, in an en
tire now dress—the former greatly enlarged.
They are now among the handsomest, as they
have always been among tho most valued of
our exohanges, and we rejoiee to seo this ad
ditional evidenee of their continued prosper
ity—a prosperity which none more richly de
served, for they are both eondneted with mark
ed ability and great propriety.
A New York letter says : It is stated that the
importation of silk gooda and other fancy fabrics
for ladies' dresses, into the port cf New York,
varies from one to three millions of dollars in
value weekly, and that the cost of these gew
gaws for the fairer part of our population is what
drains the country of specio, and brings on com.
mercial distress; so, if the ladies go upon the
principle of rule or ruin, they will be pre tty sure
to accomplish one of their purposes.
That poor fellow was doubtless haunted with
the ghastly spectres, perhaps reality, of long and
unpaid store accounts for splendid Silk dresses,
laces &c., and some rather attenuated Mantu-
Maker’s bills, when he penned the above para
graph. Poor devil I we pity him, but we think
it would have been in better taste to keep his
private griefs to himself than thus to trust them
upon the public. They feel little interest in
the result, whether his wife rules or ruins
him. Thatihe is a victim, la certain.
Mosili A Montoomeby Railhoad.— We are
pleased to see that the Citizens of Mobile are
directing their attention to the building of a
line of railroad directly to Montgomery, and we
trust both Cities and the inhabitants along the
line will so far consult thoir own interest, as to
give the enterprise an earnest and zealous sup
port.
Tho Mobile Advertiser in an article on the
subject remarks:
“ A direct line from here to Montgomery must
bs built—wifi be built; the only quston is, aa to
time. Toe immense interests involved will force
this result. In additon to the wants of com
merce, such a line must be completed to supply
the demands of travel—it being a link necessary
to complete the railroad connections from New
Orleans to Maine. Whether this connection
w.ll bo effected by the road chartered from Mo
bile Bay to Colttmbas, or by a more direct route,
is to be yet determined. That a road will be
built we do not for a moment doubt, and the
sooner the better. Montgomery should direct
her energies to a union with Mobile ; her atten
tion diverted to any other point will only be a
waste of time. There must be anion of object
and effort between the citizens of the two eitiea."
What Manufaotorlts da.
Tan observant and reflecting generally, in
this eity, and indeed throughout the entire
State, need no other evidenee than hm already
been submitted to them, end praetioelly de
monstrated in a hnndred different localities in
the Stale, of the advantages of Manufactories;
or, in other words, what Manufactories do |
yet there may be some intelligent men who art
still donhtiog or skeptical, and to snob wo
would commend the perusal of the following
article from the Louisville Journal t
Cincinnati —itt rapid Growth and some qf the
eautee thereof L—We nave fust kern looking over a
volume of 354 rages, prepared by that most indefati
gable statist, Charles Cist, and set:tied ••Cincinna
ti in 1651.'' A city that ia balsa century bae in
creased from 750 to 115,438 coals, must have had a
position, a population, and industrial pursuits worthy
of careful examination.
Louisville commenced the century with 609 peo
ple, snd Pittsburg with ] ,565. The former has, by
the last census, cnly 43,277, and the latter only 67,*
871 people. The one has a site, in extent and con
venience, inferior to none in the world; tad, besides,
is at the only great obstruction in a route of inland
navigation of ever 2,000 miles. The other has had
the advantage of eoal and iron.
In the. fitly years, New Orleans has increased
from 9,650 to 120,951 people. With all the won
derful commercial a'‘vantages es that eity, its actual
increase baa bean tern than that of Cincinnati. Du
ring the last decade, the population of the latter has
more than doubled, while that of the former has only
increased 20 pet cent., and now, in the opinion of
many, is actually retrograding. In the address of
Messrs. Burk and others, ia the last number of De
Bow’s Commercial Review, it ia 6tated that there
were, in March last (the busy season) 299 vacant
houses in the Second municipality atone.
How shall we account for all this 7 How dees it
happen that a city environed by hills, with s natural
■its of only about 800 acres, without coal or minerals,
with a very limited river front, and with no obvious
advantages over a hundred other positions should
have increased with soch a wonderful rapidity 7
We have not time to aeswer this query in fall.
As a general proposition, the tendency of a popula
tion is to centralize. In the centre of a valley, sub
sistence ia more uniformly abundant and cheap,
while communication and interchange are more con
venient. Louisville had the most central position
but the peculiar institution of the South was aup,
posed to be antagonistic to the classes of mechanics
and who, more than others, build up
a city.
Ninety-seven pages of the book before us are ta
ken op in brief notices of the manufactures and in
dustrial products of Cincinnati. Here ia the secret
of ita growth. Prom the immense rolling mill of
Shreve, Steele A Co., and cotton mill of Posdic,
Strader & Harknees, down to the “ plug, bung, and
tree nail factory ” the streets are lined with build
ings for fabrication and assortment. Commerce is
not king there, and Miles Greenwood stands as high
as any commission merchant or beak president.
The aggregate prodset of the manufactures of
Cincinnati is estimated at fifty-five millions, seven
teen thousand dollars—a value almost hsif as much
as the entire export cf the United States. Os this
product, labor has added over twenty-five millions of
dollars to the cost of the raw materials.
Here Is aa illustration. For the manufacturing
es mechanics* tools there are seven factories— nine
ty-fix bande—value of product, 8167,000—coat of
•«w material, 858,000. Ninety-six workmen cre
ated in one vsar a wealth of 8109,000. The wealth
thus created remains at home and ia reproductive.
TtlO loeselaasg •<* Oi.«luu«ct to 11104
business, hut thore it has very many trencher.
The founderies and engine shop* give emplcymeat
to 4,695 persons. The pork and beef establishments
employ directly only 2,450 persons—indirectly they
set in motion the coopers, tbe lard-pressers, the bris
tle-dressets, the brush-makers, and a host of others,
who gather up and use every part of the offal, from
the tip of the horn to tbe end of the tail.
One establishment, that of Tillery A Chapin, pay
out yearly 860,000 to theirworkmen, and as ia eta*,
ted, give support to over one thousand persons.
They make coarse boots and shoes. The furniture
business supports seven or eight thousand people.
We have not t me to do more than refor to a few of
these city makers, and to suggest, to ourworthipfal
mayor, council, and aldermen—to cur worthy bank
presidents and bank directors—and gsner.lly te the
magnates who frame our municipal laws, distribute
money, snd sway publie opinion—the expediency
of sending for a few hundred copies of Mr. Cist's
book—first for their own use, and then for distribu
tion among their poor neighbors who want a larger
population here to lessen the amount of individual
tax es.
First Paper la Virgin*.
A correspondent of the New York Timet fur*
□ishes that journal the following very interest
ing sketch oi the early history of the Newspapers
in the “ Old Dominion."
" Acecording to Thomas’s Kiatory of Printing,
vol. 2 : p. 460, “ Only two newspapers wsrs
published in Virginia before 1775, and both at
Williamsburg. The first, which was under the
influence of the Governor, commenced about 1736
—the second in 1766. Mr. Jefferson observes—
-11 till the beginning of our revolutionary disputes
ws had but one press; and that, having the
whole business of the government and no compe
titor lor public favor, nothing disagreeable to the
Governor could find its way into it. We pro
cured Rind to come from Maryland to publish a
free paper." Tnt Virginia Gazette appeared as
early as 1736, onahalfsheetjfoolscap, & occasion
ally on a whole sheet, printed by William Parks,
w:o continued it until he died, in 1750. Some
months after his death the paper was discontin
ued.” “ The Virginia Gatte, with the freehest
advices, Foreign and Domestiek,” appeared
next, and was, in fact, but a renewal of the firat
Gazette, which had been a short time suspend
ed, but it commenced with No. 1. It was pub
lished weekly, on Monday, on a] crown sheet,
folio, neatly printed, and had a cut of the Vir
ginia Arms in the tide, The first number was
published in February 1751. Imprint—" Wil
liamsburg s Printed by Wrn. Hunter, at (he Post-
Office, by whom persons may be supplied with
this paper. Advertisements of a moderate
length for Three Shilling* the first week, and
Two shillings each week after." In this Gazette
were published, in 1757, many well written es
says, under the signature of “The Virginia Cen
tinel." Huntet died in 1761. The Gazette was
enlarged to a demy size, and published by Jo
seph Royle, after whose death it was carded on
by Purdie & Dixon —who continued it until the
commencement of the war—and Purdie alone
published it several years during the revolution
ary contest. “ The Virginia Gazette , publish
ed by Authority ; Open to all Partias, but influ
enced by none,” wan first published in May,
1766, and continued, weekly, on Thursday. A
cut of the arms of the Celony was in the
title. It was well printed with new types,
on a demy sheot, folio. Imprint “ Wil
liamsburg: Printed by William Rind, at the
New Printing-office, on the Main Street. All
persons may be supplied with this Gazette at 12s.
6d. per year." At the end of the firat year,
“Published by Authority" was omitted in the
head of The Gazette.
This paper was published by Rind until his
death, Aug. 19, 177 J, Clementina Rind, his
widow, continued it alter he died, and to her
succeeded John Pinckney. Another Virginia
Gazette was first published ia April, 1775, and
continued weekly, on Saturday, by John Clark
son and Augustine Davis, at Williamsburg, seve
ral years.
I have a full file of The Virginia Gazette for
1775, in which are the different accounts of the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
Another and still greater error in the history
of American Typography, occurred recently in
The Albany Register , as follows;
“The first book printed in the State of New
York was the first constitution of the State. It
was printed, according to a statement bv the
Honorable Gulian Verplaack in 1775, just after
the Legislature, retiring before the approach of
British bayonets, firßt to Harlem, then to Kings
bridge, Yonkers, White Plains, Fishkill and
Kingston, discussed and adopted it. The peo
ple could find but one press in their domain
with whieh to print this work of their represen
tatives. It was done at Fishkill, by Samuel
Louden, who had been e Whig editor and prin
ter in the city of New York, end who retired with
his press to Fishkill where wae the cheif deposit
of stores, hospitals, etc , of the northern army
of the United States. Mr. Verplanek possesses
a copy of this precious piece of American typo
graphy.” ,v

JY to York, Oet 20 —The clipper ship
Eclipse arrived at the port of New York this
morning. She left San Francisco Jane 24:b,
Valparaiso, August 10d>, and Rio Janerio,
September 17th, bringing ten days later news
from the latter place. The U. d steamer Sus
quehanna, having completed her repairs, was
to leave in a few days for the Cape of Good
Hope and East Indies. The steamer Golden
Gate, for San Francisco, sailed on September
11th. The Eclipse crossed ths Equator in lon.
40 in 7 days and 10 boars from Rio, being the
shortest trip ever made. She brings Monte
video dates of Bepf. sth. Flour was dull, and
the inhabitants were looking for an early rais
ing of the siege. It was represented that
Gen. Mignez and Gen. Carson have wi'h them
the sympathies of the people,and been joined
by the Oriental troops. The soldiers of the
army formerly besieging Montevideo, refused
te march under Gen. Oribe, who had gone
into the interior. It waa again reported from
Rio Grande del Sol, that a Braxilian force had
marebed into Banda Oriental, but no oonflict
had taken place. Letters from Buenos Ayres
to Sept Ist, state that the markets were unset
tled by the reported proceedings of Admiral
Glanfeldt, of the Braziliian forces, who had
assumed a hostile attitude towards Buenos
Ayree, and turned back all vessels proceeding
to Panama. Flour was plentiful, but produce
scarce. There was no wool on sale. Freights
were dull, and shipping plenty.
Nxw York, Oct. 20 —Our account from
La Platte states that the allies bad succeeded in
one or two engagements against Rosas, and
that Urq iza waa moving on towards the cap
ital of ihe Banda Oriental. Oribe waa also
reported to have been defeated on his march
to (heinterior, and was eioeely fallowed by
the Braziliian forces, and a portion of the
command under Oaxits.
DISASTBR TO THI WHALING FLEET JVstf
Bedford, Oet. 90.—The Mercury of this morn
ing says i “There are several gross inacou
r oiea in the report from the whaling fleet.
The Magnolia acd A. II- Howland, reported
no oil, are in port: and instead of six hundred,
(hero are but one hundred end forty-three
vessels upon the oeaat this season.”
A latter from C. W. Rexford, dated San
Franeiaco, Sept. 15th, aays:
*• I called on the captain of the schooner
Cnrlew, which spoke the ship John Wslls,
who partially corroborated the reports in our
papers, hot corrected them in some material
P O,n **‘ M*Mud the mate of the John Wells,
boarded him and reported the Aramatba, of
t 0 b# lo,t * Thomp
son, of New London, also lost) the Arabella
lAaserict and Naptnne, of
New Bedford, ditto—(another account made
it -‘Njotune," of New London, no oil up to
Aug. Ist.) F
The Mary Mitshell, of San Francisco, lost.
The captain state, that the report of the leas
of the mate of the Magnolia is inoorraet, as is
the report that the A. 11. HowlandVld no nil
up to August Ist. W 011
He slao reported that the ship —■ r 6 _
nard, of New Bedford (probably the Chins)
was full and bound for homo, having latien
1,500 barrels out of the wreck of a French
whaler. He fur.ber says that the John We'li
was not badly damaged, that she only lost her
fore foot, and some eheathiog and copper oil'
her bows. Ths ms*e of the J. W. did not
say that fifty or sixty more whalers would be
lost, but that he could name mere than fify
ships which had abandoned the ground on ac
count of heavy weather and ice.
The Mary Mitchell was worth $20,000 and
is insured.
There issu insurance on the Arabella at the
Mutual Marine Insurance Co., New Bedford
for $7,000; s4.ooobeing on account of the
agents and $3,000 for tbe captain and mate.
Upon the America there is an insurance for
$6125 at the New Beoford Commercial
$1 000 at the Pacific and SII,OOO at the N-w
Bedford Whaling Co. Nine sixteenths es the
vessels not insured.
There was no insurance upon the New Bed
ford.
An extract from a letter from San Francis
co, dated Sept. 15, says that the John Wells
was spoken near the Sandw eh Islands, in
nearly a sinking condition, and completely
broken up for sea service. She had been
between two icet ergs, and if the vessel had
not been very strong, she most have shared
tbe fate of tbe others She lo ; t her cutwater
yards, Ac. '
The letter reports that some of tbe whals
ships went to pieces in twenty minutes aftat
being enclosed by the ice.
The accounts as given by the officers of tbe
John Wells, are frightful. Eight ships were a
total loss, and sixty more were in a crippled
condition.
A portion of the vessels had gone to Hong
Kong for repairs.
Baltimore* Oct. 2\—Judge Sharkey of

Consumption of Smoke and and Sawing of
Fuel —Wo find in the New York Tribune the
following account of the success of an inven
tiou which seems to be particularly advanta
geous for furnaces in cities i
Wa .a Saturday the Ch.muul Works
of Aid. D. F. Tiemann & Son, Manha’tanviUo,
to witness the operation of Broker’s Improved
Furnrce, in company with the Trustees’ Agent
J. Armory. E<q., of Boston Messrs; Tiemann
6 Son have applied this invention to several
different boilers, bo that it was burning An
thracite, Bituminous (Liverpool) and Semi-
Bituminous (Dauphin) coal in (he same es
tablishment at once. In no ca>ecc uld a parti
cle of amoke be seen to issue from the chimney
—all waa consumed—and only transparent, in
combustible gißes given ofT through the chim
ney, whether high or low. By this consump
tion of the smoke, it is calculated that a saving
of sixteen per cent, is effaced, and aa much
more by retaioin; the heat longer nnder the
boiler and bringing the great body of it more
direct r in contact therewith. This is effected
by means of three or four peculiarly construct,
ed cutved bridges or arch-s erected at certain
intervals across the space becea'.h th‘ common
cylindrical (or any other) boiler, between the
fire and the further end, each bridge or arch
reaching to within three or four inches of the
boiler, and forcing all the heat in o immediate
con'act therewith. By the intense heat thus
concentrated, the smoke, dec., obliged to pa*s
through these narrow apertures, are consum
ed, leaving nothing but incombustible gases to
pass off and up the chimney.
The chief recommendations of this inven
tion are ita simplicity and cheapness. It may
bs applied to any boi’er. however odd or im
perfect, and lh9 poorer the boiler is the greater
the margin for saving. No restting is needed,
and the timo req tired for making the applica
tion is very ebort.
The St. Louis papers date that a contract
has been entered into for the construction of a
canal arouuo the lower rapid 9 of the Missis
sippi, to be 140 feet wide, and with a depth of
7 feet of water at all season*.
