-Qp*i* Amirican Organisation.—Tho Know

an open organization of its party, and declares
its belief that for tho safety and perpetuat ion or
the American party such a course is an actual ne-
entity.
We have advices from Curacoa to Feb. 9th. Salt

An Editor who Keeps Hts own Parson.—The
Banner of tho Cross, an Episcopal paper, published
.at Philadelphia, says that Gorrard Hallock, onco a
dorgyman himself, and now one ot the editors and
proprietors of the Now York Journal of Com
merce,^resides in New Haven, Conn., where ho
supports a church and minister himsolf. Every
Monday morning the ininistor is expected tobrenk*
fast with him, aod on lifting his plate finds his
weekly salary of $42 beneath it. The minister la
the Rev. Mr. Stiles, well known in Georgia.
Bennett a Poet.—Tho New York Herald an
nounces tho publication of the " Early Poems of
James Gordon Bennett," written between tho ages
of eighteen and twenty-throo. Booksol lore would
do well to dispose of tKeir copies of Shakosponro,
Pope, and Byron, before Bennett makes his ap-
pcaranco, or they may find them a drug in tho
market.

been on trial before tho Circuit Court, at Provi
dence, since the 23d of January last, was decided
Wednesday, by a verdict for Horaco H. Day.ior
the sum of $4000, being damages for tho use of tho
Chaffee patent for threo months, tho time covered

Lord Clarendon and Gen. Cass.—It la well
known,aays tho New York Courier, and has been
widely published, that Mr. Crampton, tho British
Minister, proclaims publicly, that Lord Clnrondon,
in March last, addressed him a letter, which lie
waa directed to read to Secretary Marcy, and to
leave with him a copy if he desired it, distinctly
and emphatically denying, that his remarks allu
ded to by Gen. Cass, had any, tho slightest allu
•ion to the Uoited States or to any enderstanding
with France in relation to our affairs. Mr. Cramp
ton says that he did road such a letter to Secretary
Marcy, and offered to leave with him a copy of it,
which he declined receiving! But notwithstan
ding this, It is the duty of the Administration to
be vigilant.
Bridge Across the Misstsstrri.—'Wo are advi
sed by the St. Louis News, that tho Legislature of
Missouri has just passod a bill authorising tho con
struction of a bridge across tho Mississippi at tho
. above named city, in which measure it has been
anticipated by the Legislature oflliinoia. It is
important stop in|which all tho States aro more or
less interested. The distanco from the Missouri
•bore at Bloody Island is set down at about 600
yards, and a suspension bridgo ovor this abyss
spoken of. We doubt if tho business which is
verging thither will be satisfied with n bridgo sim
ply for common carriages. Tho most important
railways in this country will bo in a lew years
■••king a connection, as we bofiuve at St. Louis,
with the Pacific Railrod, and thoy will not stop for
thf Mississippi.
Trude paid IIunIuumi.
Tho Boston, Now York, Philadelphia and Bal
timore papers, oi tho 8th, report an oasy money
market in their respective cities. Indeed, in Bos
ton money is said to be so plentiful that it is really
uneaty, not knowing what to do with itsoif. Tho
demand in tho street was next to noihing.anda
number of tho principal capitalists and bankers had
largo sums remaining idle for want ol borrowers,
and tho right kind of paper to buy.
Thu Baltic, which took her departure from Now
York for Liverpool, on the 7th, took out $1,147,358

in Philadelphia, the cotton market was quiet-—
Tho provision market was also inactivo for want
of a stock to operato in. Money easy.
In Baltimore tho flour market was activo at 12
1-2 cents ndvaneo for Iloward-at., sales to a large
extent having been made nt $8.62 1-2 a 88.75; tho
market closing at tho latter figure.
though there should bo no ohanco ot us Doing en
tertained, and that it should bo accompanied with
tho onen declaration or a significant suggestion
that tlio United Stales woro determined to have
tho island, aud would obtain it by other tnenns if
their present advances, so advantageous to Spain,
bo refused by her; but other parts of tlio report ro-
pcl this inference, Tho remark in that document
that if Spain should roluso theso proposals ol tho
United States, then "tho question will arise, What
ought to be tho coureo ot tho Amorican government
under those circumstances’!” cleurly shows tlmt it
wns not intended by yourself nnd cnlloagucsto re
commend to tho President to oflbr to Spain tho
alternative of cession or aoizuro. Tho President,
lio ndds, concurs in this view of the subject. Want
of success in our efforts to acquire Cuba. Mr. Marcy
thinks would not, without a tnateriul change in tho
condition of the island, involve imminout peril to
tho cxistenco ot our government.
Tho Black Warrior and other outrages aro next
rcoapitulatodi and tho pending negotiations in re
lation tiiercto aro mentioned. Mr. Alarcy, in con
clusion remarks:
If the cossion of tho Island of Cuba has to ho
hopelessly ubundunud for tlio present, another very
important mattor will como up lor consideration.—
Thu United States havo asked nnd will most per
tinaciously insist upon some security against tho
future misconduct of tho Spanish authorities at
Cuba. Looking to tho pnst, tho rcnsouablcnoss of
this demand must be acknowledged by Sain. A
compliance with it is but nn act of justice to tho
United States, and of prudunt precaution to her
self.
Giving Spain credit for her sincerity of her re
peated and solemn ansurancesof an intention in all
titni's past to respect tho riglnsof (Idsgovernment
and the interests of our citizens, tho luiluro of all
her efforts to effect this object mu»t convince her
that there is some inherent defect in her present
system of governing Cuba, and tlmt its continuance
will unavoidably lead to now difficulties.
If Spain persists in maintaining her despotic ad
ministration over this dependency, situated so far
beyond her immediate supervision, by vesting in
her captain-general powers which Imvo bouu-so
often abused, it is incumbent upon her to provido
for a direct appeal by the injured cit zens oi friend
ly nowers to him for redress.
There is no local public opinion to exercise a ro
straining influence over him in cases where foreign
ors ure concerned, and no freedom of tlio press to
oxposo nnd animadvert upon his misconduct. In
regnrd to such foreigners, tlio present arrangement
imposes no adequate responsibility upon this officer,
and just causes of complaint will continually ariso
ns they Imvo heretofore arisen, until sumo change
is maud in tho present system. If tlio feelings of
Spain towards this country arc such useho profess
es—if she dosires to perpetuate tho relations ol
ponco with the United States—she will yield to our

Again, tho Diario de la Marina, of tlio 6th inst.,
says:
“ Tho conduct obsorved by lho vessels of our allies
(Prance aud England,) under the present circumstances,
has led the press In tbo United states m indulge in
coniu.ents as ilMiiued us possible. We do not coin pre.
Iieud how they should evluce so much surprlro nt Hint
which they bsd already foieseou, and which was tho
result of the logical course of events. Npuln Is au old
Kuropean nation, and has n thousand ties of Interest, of
tradition, und of community of Iden9, by which slio is
linked with the great civilized nations. When Spain,
then, is menaced by n horde which represents only the
instincts of rebellion ugninst modem civilization, it it
just nnd ill that her allies should avail themselves of the
occasion to demonstrate ihuir elevated sympathies. He
who Is offended, or pained, or complains of It, dues not
well comprehend how little credit ho dotjs himself by
such demonstrations.
“Illsnot,however, tlio prouof a certain Into ulono,
Hint with this motive conjures Up such ub«urd phan
tasms. Hen. Cass also, a federal Senator, from lho State
of Michigan, has found hero a pretext for a new edition
corrected and amitided, of Ids well known pldlliple
against European diplomacy. This is matter, however,
or which we shall speak heroattor, when leisure per
mlts. as Its nature demands.”
Tlio Diario insists that an expedition had been
organized in this country, and that it was frustrated
only by tho energotie monsurcB of tho Cnptain
General. Perhaps, it will live long onough to dis
cover its mistako.

The A no el Gabriel at Hose.—The Glasgow
Mail, of the 11th of February,slates that John 8.
Orr, nicknamed the “Angel Gabriel,” has arrived
at horns, from New York, in the steamer Glasgow.
It says:
A most dissonant'fcreeching sound from tho

rushed up tbs quay, going off lo Glasgow by tho
Stamtino on Babies.—A correspondent oi
the Boaton Boat, describing a visit to a tnoaquo,
atGooaUntioople, gives this account of a now
osra:—
M Tbero was a etrango kind of by-play going <
ie,which was quite Incxplicsplo..

-Little children ware boiog brought In, when Mr.
Brown said to mo, 'Now look; the sbeik fa going

view of curing any disease tbe children may have

The Washington Union states that it fe Judgo
Joseph H. Lutnpkin,of tho Supreme Court of Geor
gia, and not tho Hon. John H. Lumpkin, who has
boon appointed one of tho Judges oi tho now Court
of Claims, just organized by Congress. The Co
lumbus Times, in an article upon tho Court, saye*
it is understood that Judgo Lumpkin will.accept
tho appointment. This will mako a vacancy in tho
Supremo Court of Georgia, and tho duty of filling
it will dovolvo upon Governor Johnson. Tho
Times, which is democratic, sdds:
"At the organization of tho Suprorno Court of
Gerogia, it wtva agreed to divide tho honors of lho
Court between tbo two groat political partios. This
policy has been adhered to up to tho present time.
Wo should regret to seo it departed from, now,
when disappointed men aro striving to oxcito pop
ular prejudice against the Court. We, therefore,
suggest that a Whig bosolocted to tho vacant seat
of Judgo Lumpkin. Mr. Jenkins would be our
choice, but as ho is spokon of as tho candidate of
the Whig party for Governor.it might bo invidious
to tendorto him tho inferior honor of a judgeship.
Judgo Berrien would honor the position; so would
William Law,of Savannnh, Andrew J. Miller, of
Augusta, Iverson L. Harris, of Millodgeville.E. A
Nesbit.or B. Hill, ol ftlacon, Hines Holt, or Wm.
Dougherty, of Columbus. Out of this catalogue of
distinguished men nnd able lawyers, tho Governor
cun select some man in whose hands the lives and
liberties of tho people would bo safe.”
Wo fully concur in tho suggestion of tha'Times.
Perhaps it woro too much to hopo that Judgo Bor*
rion could bo induced lo accopt a scat upon our
8upremc Court bench, if tendered to him by Gov.
Johnson; yet such on set on bis part would givo un
mixed and universal satisfaction in Georgia. With
bis splendid intolloct, his vast legal acquirements,
and thoatrong hold ho possesses upon tho respect
and confidence of the peoplo, his appointinont nnd
scoeptanco would be hailed ovorywhoro with plea
sure, and would bo tho salvation of tho (sourt, nnd
a groat advantage to the Judiciary of tho State.—
He would render the Court strong and permanent;
bo would improve the literary character of its de
cisions, givo it groator' woight with tho legal pro
fession and among the people, und mako it the pop
ular, acknowledged,and dignified organ of the laws
of the State.
Wo trust, theroforo, that tho appointment will bt
offerod to Judgo Berrien, and that, for tho aako of
the country and tho Court, he will accept it. This
we say, not because bo is a Whig, but because ho
i* one of tho greatest nnd purest son* of tbo Re
public. '

Owing to an absurd story set afloat by Lccomtc,
a Paris writor, to lho effect that touching lior en
gagements in this country, in caso of M’llo Ra
chel's donth, her contractor had tho right to cxiliit
her dead body, Raphael Felix, brother of Rnchol,
bus written tbo following to tbo Brussels Inde
pendence :
• Paris, Feb. 3,1855.
Monsieur:—It was only to-day that one of my
friends showed me an urlicio, dated 2?th January,
1855, in which M. Jules Lccomie pretends to ro-
Vcnl to your readers tho inerediblo engagement of
M’lle Rachel in tlio United States. Journalism,
Mosieur, doubtless, like poetry, has its licoiise;
but it seems to me that license is caricd so far as
to cast ridicule upon a great artist and odium upon
tbo members of her family generally, nnd upon mo
in particular, il passes tho bounds of sufi'oranco
into barbarism and licentiousness.
In this engagement, Monsieur, thorn is no other
intro prencurtlian myself, who Imvo been to tho
United Stntos, to lease, at my own risk and peril,
the theatres at which M’llo Rachel will givo her
representations with a company of French artists,
engaged by me.
1 can,consequently, assure you that these repre
sentations will take place, oven upon tho classic
ground of humbug, in perfect conformity with art
istic dignity, and that no prosneet of gain enn in
duce mo lo transform M’ntu Rnchelinto a fcmnlo
phenomenon to bo "exhibited,'' alive or embalmed.
As to tho ru6t, tho Americans happily are not, ns
M. Jules J 4 ocomto appoura to beliovo that thoy are,
indifferent and novices in tho matter ol art nnd
talont. Thoy wnit to soo and applaud the trage
dian, to whotn tho European public has awurded
such renown; and they ure by no means disposed
to bo duped by a contrivance equally absuru and
disgusting.
Beliovo rne,&c.,
Raphael Felix.
M’llo Rachel was to leave tho Thoatro Fran*
calso on the 1st inst., for two months rest. On tho
1st ol July^bo goes to London, wliero sho is sought
for tho third time by Mr. Mitoholl, who offers her
200,000 francs for an engagement of fivo weoks.
On tho 15 of August sho is to omburk for this

Native WlnrN.
Tho Western Railroad Rocord contains nn ox-
tended statistical aro on tho American grape cul
tnro, and from tho facts it has gathered expresses
tho opinion tlmt while tho vino retneins ns it now
is in thu regions of Cincinnati, unaffected by any
great increase of insocts, purnsltos.or othor causes
of blight, tho grape may hero bo cultivated at a
largo profit, oven whon the wlno is reduced to fifty
corns yor gallon. But, such is tlio dornand for puro
Catawba wine, nnd suoh is tho consumption o 1
wine in tho country, that it is safe to say that in fulj
thirty years to como wino cannot bo reduced to
fifty cents a gallon. In all that tirno thu good cul
tivator* must reallzo heavy profits. The Rooord
thinks that there must bo fivo millions of aorcs
planted in vinca before tho price can be reduced to
a minimum in tho United Statosl This fact ia
enough to inanto cultivators against any hazard of
an overstocked market. Thoro will probably bo
aix hundred thousand gallons ol Catawba wine
raised in tho Ohio Valley in 1855; but this ia noth
ing to tho demand. If it woro doubled (which can
not bo) every year fur fivo years to como tbo mar
ket would not bo ovorstockedr
FUIITIIEK PARTICULARS.
From a friend and physician, who waiyoaterday
on a professional visit lo the settlement uoar the
■team mill of Messrs. E. If. Able dt Co., located
nonr the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad,
wo learn that a very dostruotlvo fire was found on-
circling that place, nnd extending to the locality of
Messrs. Killian & Fry’s steam mill, whoro a large
lot of lumber was consumed. Tho railroad track
wns also on fire nt that point. It was on tiro at
another point n half milo this side of tho mil., und
at sovornl points within a distunoo of fivo miles
coming towards Columbia.
In consequence, tho passenger train duo hero at
2 o’clock did not roach its destination, nor could
the express train, which left at 4 o’clock, F. M., go
up. It ia probable that tlio travel on tlio road will
bo interrupted for sovoral days. It ia impossible,
howovor, at this timo to ascertain the full extent of
tho damage which tho road has suffered-
Tho oountry around, including a circuit ofat least
fivo miles iu extent, is involved m the conflagration.
Much limber and fencing lias been consumed. Il
was somewhat dangerous lo passthrough thu burn
ing section, because ol tho fliqucs and failing tim
bers. Tho wind was blowing a turious gnlo, and
wo aro apprehensive that it will bo difficult to ur-
j-est the progress of tho fire.
Tho propurty ol Messrs. E. H. Aide & Co., and
that of Messrs. Killian & Fay was in most immi
nent danger at 5, F. M. f lho hour at which our
friend loll. But the fury ol tho gnlo having mod
erated considerably, hopes are cnlortaiucd that tlio
mills would bo saved. *
THE FIRE NEAR LEXINGTON.
Lexington, C. H., March 9.
4 o’clock, F. M.
E. H. Britton fj Co.,
Dear Sirs:—I havo just timo to inform you that
a disastrous lire has been raging in tho neighbor
hood of our village nil day. Tho destruction to
fences und houses bus been great. Tlio mills and
mnehino shops, ubout lour miles from the village,
belonging to Mr. \V. F. Green, of Columbia, und
mnnngeci by Mr. 8. J. Stowurt, and tho houses,
barns, &c., ol Mr. Boozer, tho houses, fences and
barns of Mr. Wm. Shoaly, ntid tho saw mill of Mr.
John Lown, with corn, iodder and other provisions
has been destroyod. How many more it is impos
sible to tell, as the fire completely encircles our vil
lage, nnd was with great dilliculty kept from de
stroying our little town.
P. S.—5k o’clock—Whilo I write, tho fire is Btill
raging, nnd throntens our villago. God only knows
but we may be all burnt out to-night, as tho wind
coutinuos very high, and wo are completely sur
rounded by firo.
6 o’clock.—I have just understood that Dr. E. J.
Hay's house, barns and stables, about six miles from
this plnce, together with all lho houses and bnrii9 in
his neighborhood, say six or U-n miles around, havo
been destroyed.
A Speech by General Bitncom.—Tho following
is nn extract front a speech of Col. Buncont in fuvor
of5440:—
"Mr. Speakor—When 1 open my eyes, nnd look
over tlio vast expanso of this country—when 1 see
how tlio yeast ot freedom lias caused it to rise in
tho scale oi civilization arid expand on every sido
—wlien I see it crowing, swelling, roaring liko a
spring irushel—1 cannot resist lho idea, sir, the day
will como when this great nation, like a young
sctiool boy, will burst its straps and become entire
ly too big lor its bools. Sir, wo want elbow room
—tho continent, the whole continent, and nothing
but tho continent—nnd wo will havo it. Then
shall Undo Sam, pluciug his lint upon tho Cana
das, rest his right arm on tho Oregon and California
const, his left on tlmeastern seaboard, and whittle
away tlio British power, whilo reposing his leg,
like u freeman, upon Capo Horn! Sir tho day will
—tho day must como."
The New Brigadier General—Gen. Shields
Defeated.—A loiter from Washington says:
The President has appointed P. F. Smith a very
meritorious officer, brigadier general. General
Shields was recommended by Whigs nnd Demo
crats of the present Congress; but in tlio present
state of excitement, lho President declined giving
that recommendation tlio consequence which would
have followed il under other circumstances.
It is said tlint the Prosidcnt would havo appoint
ed General Shields, Who is a foreigner by birth, but
lor fear of offending the Know Nothings.

Yellow Fever ill Augusta, 1851.
We publish this morning a list of those interred
in our city cemetery from this scourge, from tho
timo o| tlio first interment, tho l2tli September, to
its happy termination. It prosonts a mournful list
but docs not comprise nil who fell victims to this
fatal disease- Many families on tho Sand Hills,
nod surrounding country, liuvo experienced the sad
beroavements it has caused, ns well as our own cit
izens, bu t the record is not with us, nor cm wo
conveniently procure the information. The list wo
publish tliis morning, it will bo seen is confined lo
the white cemetery in this city, in tho cemetery
appropriated to tho blacks, there have also been in
terments from this disease, but the number is small
when compared to the whites. From tho timo of
the first interment of whites, 12th Sept, to tho Inst
tlio city sexton reports one hundred ntid twelvo by
yellow fever. Oiotherdisensestherowerofiftydeaths
during tlio same period. This exhibits a great mor
tality in our city, considering tlio sparscucss of our
population at lho lime—much greater than at any
timo since or previous to tho yellow fever in 1839,
when the deaths by this disease were repotted at
two hundred and forty three.
All cities are liaboi to epidemics of every des
cription, but tnku Augusta lor the Inst twenty fivo
years, ntid leave out 1839 and 1851, during which
years she was afflicted with Yellow Fever, nnd
tho hcultli ol her citizens will compare favorably
with tlint of any city in tho union, amount ol popu
lation considered.

Tho Tampa Peninsular of tho 3d inst., says:
" A Company of Northern gentleman lias boon
incorporated simultaneously by tho Legislature of
Georgia and tho Spanish Vico Roy governing tho
Island of Culm for tlio purpose oi constructing a
submarine Telegraphic line, extending from Ma
con, through tho scuthorn part of Georgia, nnd un-
on mi air line through tho ontiro extent ot tho Pen
insula of Florida to Havnna, on tlio Island of Cuba.
Wo havo positive and well authenticated nssurunco
that so soon ns tho chartered privilege is obtained
ol our Legislature (which will ro-aascmblo in No
vember next) to run through tho oxtunt of tlio
bounds of Florida, this important work will ho
commenced. Tallahassee, Tampa and Koy West
nro points designated by tlio company, through
which this Scientific Intelligencer is to pass on its
way to Havana, and uliimutoly, to a point on tho
isthmus, connecting Notth nnci South America.''
Gen. Shields’ Successor.—Tho Chicago Tri
bune says that Gov. Matturson will not givo Judgo
Trumbull a certificate of his oloction to tho U. 8.
Sonato. Ho bases his refusal on tlio ground that
tho Judgo is not eligible under tho ciauso of tho
constitution, which prohibits any Judgo of tho Su
promo Court from acccp'tng any other office du
ring tho term for which ho was oloctod Judge, nor
for ono year after tho oxpiratinn of such term.—
Judgo Trumbull has resigned tho office of Judgo,

Tho weather has become mild again, and tho

fully, our soil and clitnnto boing particularly woll
adapted to this delicious fruit.
Tho nrrlvul of a steamer, from Now York, a day
or two since, produced, at tho timo, a good deal of
oxoifemont. 8ho was supposed to bo a filllbustor,
and D.uuo Rumor was abroad with hor thousand
tonguoa. Armed men woro snid to crowd tho docks,
and hor cupucious hold to contnin all the munitions
of war nocossary for taking tho Island of Cubs from
its Bpauish possessors.
As she enmo iuto tho wharf all fear was allayed.
Nono but Itor crow nnd ipasaongors trod lho decks,
and lho hold was ballasted with apples and pota
toes. Sho proved to be tho steamer St. Lawrence,
Capt. Monroe, iroin Now York, bound to Mobile,
putting into this port for coni and to land provi
sions, of which we were much in nood. Tbo sclir.

on tlio 12th inst., and Capt. Monroo assures us that
sho is to ply regularly, as a freight and passenger
boat, between Salvator and Mobile.
Tlio stoamor Jaspor.Capt. Kerr, arrived from N

Tho U. S. steamer San Jacinto, commander
Stribblius, did not sailed on tho *26tii us reported.—
Sho was detained by contrary winds, and could not
lenvo tho port before tbo 28:h. Sho, wo since havo
ionrned, arrived at Havana tho next day. but mado
a short stay, being towed to sea lho 2d. Her desti
nation wo could not loam.
Tho stoamor Pampero, Capt. Cozzons, arrived
