KrifkTnd diseased fruit.
I vt this season of the year, when the |
Inimer complaint in children is very com
| all d dysentary and cholera morbus,
■ j f e vcrs of various type, are prevalent,
I I (hat dreadful scourge, the cholera, is i
I reading over the country with fearful es- j
Lets, there should be great caution in the j
Leos food and luxuries, as improper in
luhences are causes in some cases, and
L e jisposing causes in all cases, of these
tiseases.
[ Unripe or diseased fruit is hard to digest,
LnJ a most prolific cause of disease. Vet
[ j xve ]l lifiened fruit, is one of the most
healthful, if not the most wholesome of all
Lucies of food, and, as luxury, in moder
ation, it is conducive to health. Hut fliil
[ten are so fond of fruit, that they w ill eat
It when perfectly green; and our markets
[bound with prematurely ripened fruit,
(which was picked green, that it might ri-
Lcn on its way to a distant market, and
Imicli of it is in a state of decay before it
Lin the hands of the consumer. Nearly all
[lie peaches that have been in this market
l\ u .r. 12) arc from trees affected with the
mellows- a disease more fatal to the peach
Ihan the cholera to the human race.
I Sickly trees being unable to protect their
Lmp, the fruit ripens prematurely,—in
L,me cases a month earlier than that of
Ihealthy trees; and this fruit has a livid,
(purple color throughout, showing clearly
[that it is from diseased trees. We leave it
with the reader to judge whether fruit not
coming to full maturity and perfection, and
di-colored wilh such positive marks of de
fection, is fit to be eaten. — N. E. Farmer.

I My dear Jacques: In presenting to the
■readers of the Gazelle a few notes of my
■Xi'rtliern tour, 1 shall take the privilege of
■l ying aside, for awhile, the Editorial we,
liar I address them, through you, in the first
Bperson singular. I do this the more wil
■lingly, that I shall necessarily write in
■haste anal at such odd moments as the ob
■jacts of my journey will leave at my dis
■posal.
cl Vaiu will naturally expect me to say some
■thing of my voyage to this City in the
I’ .Yurthcrner" —and l should do injustice
■to that splendid steam ship if I did not. As
Bl cannot report that voyage as the shortest
■the has ever ma le, 1 will claim for it the
degree of honor, namely, that it was
longest. We were ninety-six hours
wharf to wharf, having to contend,
■during the whole time, with a strong head
■wind and heavy sea. On Tuesday, it blew
■almost a gale—so that we made scarcely
■any head way at all. The voyage afforded
■us occasion, however, to test both the qunl
■uics of the “ Northerner” as a sea-boat,
■and the politeness of her commander, of
■Cccrs and attendants. It might, perhaps,
■suffice to say, that we found both to be fully
t'l’ial to the very flattering reports of her
■fortunate passengers. I feel it to be due,
■however, to all concerned, to add, that nev
tr> in all my varied experience at sea, did I
■find so much real comfort, assiduous cour
tesy, and unwearying attention, as I ex
■pericnced on board the “ Northerner.” She
■is truly an admirable sea-boat, moving with
■fur more steadiness through a rough sea,
■than any other American steamship I ever
■tided in—reminding one, in that respect,
■of the unequalled Cunard steamers. Her
■'peed, too, was tried, and not “ found want
ing.” in a sort of match between her and
■he “ Empire City” from Chagres. The lat
■er was ahead of us on Wednesday noon,
Biaving crossed our bows with all her can
tos spread, while we carried no sail. At
tempting subsequently to repeat the ma
toeuvre, our excellent commander very
■roperly, wc all thought, resented the in
tuit! and resolved* to shew her that the
WtNortherner” was “ some” at fast sailing,
the interest of the afternoon was not a lit
tle heightened to all of us, by the trial of
■peed between the two noble vessels. The
W Empire City ” was very light, while our
•hip was deep in the water —a disadvantage
Somewhat compensated, perhaps, by the
tind and rough sea. The dawn of day re
wealed to us the complete victory of the
■‘ Northerner in the appearance of her
Bunpetitor far astern, and scarcely disccrn-
‘ | li’ upon tlie horizon. Wc reached the
l '> irt at least an hour before the California
trainer, to the very great gratification of
v "r„y one of our company, of course. Suc
say I, to the “ -Vortherner,” anil lung
ifc to Captain lludd !
I cannot, of course, tell you much about
1 (: "tham” at present. 1 have scarcely
lade good my very pleasant quarters at
iathbun's Hotel, which report had com
lr nded so highly that 1 resolved to try it.
* first impressions give tone to conviction,
shall certainly pronounce it to he a most
scellcnt house. I will tell you more of it
>'• the-by, however.
The City Is thronged with strangers. It
’ finite difficult to got rooms at any of the
r st class hotels, and even some of the sec
id class houses are refusing scores of ap
'cants daily. The paef is densely crowil
’ an * everything indicates a full, though
lla ewhat tardy “ season.”
The building mania is upon the increase.
Everywhere I encounter pyramids of brick]
and pools of mo tar—scaffolds above, and I
planks below ! In one part of Broadway,!
the Russ pavement is being laid extensive
ly ; this will soon displace altogether the
cobble-stone.
“ Barnuin” is as much the object of won-1
der to the “ green ones” ns ever. At pres- !
ent, his huge front displays the portraits ofi
two living Anacondas, and one lively Croc-;
odile! The latter has a “ nigger” in his I
ponderous jaws. I am disposed to think j
that this is a pictorial exaggeration ; how
ever, I intend to go and see, and if it is, de- ,
nouncc him as a humbug—if it is not, hold ‘
him up as a fit object for the holy horror of I
the Abolitionists to vent itself upon.
1 dropped in for an hour at the <4 allcry !
of the American Art-Union, where 1 found
perhaps a hundred and fifty visiters. Many 1
of the pictures upon the walls are very beau- 1
tiful. As an additional room will be open- 1
ed next week, with many new works, I will ]
defer any description until after iny next]
visit. I hope to be present at the ceremony i
of opening, on Monday night, as it will be a
sort of Art Festival, to which I have had
the honor of a card of invitation.
Passing along Broadway, I noticed, in
various places, the presence of that noto
rious character, Peter Funk. He still offers
his galvanized copper for genuine gold, and
strange to tell, there are still gulls to be
caught by his bait.
In a shop window in John Street, I saw
several boxes of a substance certainly re
sembling gold, and labelled “ the pure Cal
ifornia grit.” *
The most attractive place of amusement
open in the City, is Niblo’s. Upon the old
site, a handsome edifice has been erected,
which is crowded every night with fashion
able people. Last night I did myself the
pleasure of dropping in there, to witness
the performance of anew musical entertain
ment, called “ Paris in 1848.” The piece
consists, besides the music and ballet, of
nine very imposing and effective tableaux
vioants —the principal figures by the inimi
table Ravels—representing the principal
scenes of the last French Revolution. Some
of them were vastly applauded, and encored.
The amusing pantomime of “ Robert Ma
caire” afforded a fine occasion for the Ravels
to display their wonderful power of action.
Niblo’s is a very successful establishment,
where you may enjoy refined amusements,
in a most unexceptionable manner.
But I must bring this first epistle to a
close. The “ gong” Ims sounded for dinner,
and lam always obedient to fate. So, with
ever kind remembrances of you and the
readers of the Gazette,
I am truly your’s,

THE SCHOOLFELLOW.
The September number of The Schoolfel
low, we trust lias reached all its young
readers. We guess they are well pleased
with it. It contains “ The Story of the
Good Little King, Edward IV,” by Mrs.
Richards—“ Harry Twiggs,” by Mary How
itt, of England—“ The Story of Little Ma
ry,” by Miss Barber—“ A Letter on Good
Breeding,” by Mrs. Manners--” I Will Try,”
by Caroline Howard—another Chapter of
“ Harry's Vacation ” by the Editor, and
many other interesting articles.
The Third Quarterly Part will be una
voidably delayed, a few weeks. *
CHARLESTON.
The Charleston Mercury of Monday states,
on good authority, that the busines, of last
week exceeds that of a like period in any
September previous, and that the city is
thronged with merchants, from the interior
and from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
Florida, North Carolina, andTennessee, and
that their number is increasing every day.
The Mercury adds;
“ Many of them are here for the first time,
and express themselves highly gratified at
the extensive assortment of goods, and the
liberality of the terms on which they are
disposed of. The stocks of our merchants
have been selected with the greatest possi
ble care, and in quantities calculated for a
largely increased business, and they are of
fered at prices lower than they can be pro
cured at New York, or any other of the
Northern cities. This is accounted for from
the fact, that they were principally pur
chased in those cities,while the Cholera pre
vailed, and when goods were necessarily
disposed of at low rates; while since the
partial disappearance of the pestilence there
lias been a reaction, and enhanced prices.
We have also had heavy arrivals of goods
direct from Europe, which were procured
upon the most favorable terms.”
This is as it should be, and we trust our
Charleston friends will be able to give such
satisfaction to their new customers, as will
lead them (to use a familiar phra o) to “Call
again.” ‘ *
CUBA.
M.Gaillardct, the Paris corrcspodent of the
Courrier des Ktats Oil*,reminds us of a fact
which we believe is not generally known,
and which late events have rendered highly
important viz : that a treaty guaranteeing
the independance of the Island of Cuba, in
case of a separation from Spain, exists be
tween England France and the United
States. He says:
“ The proclamation of Gen. Taylor, in re
lation to certain expeditions projected
against the Island of Cuba and Mexico, h is
produced hero very earnest sensations. The
courageous probity of old ‘Uough and Hea
dy’ has been ranch applauded ; and the Con
stitutionnel has thought proper to call the
attention of those ambitious personages who
covet Cuba, to tho fact that, according to a
treaty between the United States .France
and England, that island, like Hayti, must
remain independent in case it ever be sever
ed from Spain. The island of Cuba, then,
cannot belong to the American Union, ex
cept by violation of a mutual agreement be
tween the three great maritime powers.
Treaties certainly may be annulled, but this
circumstance is not, on that account, a mat
ter which the annexationists should neg
lect.” •
OtJ- The Literary American endorses the
Gazette's advocacy of a silver coinage of the
value of seven cents, and expresses the opin
ion that the Septicent would be found very
convenient and useful. *

A Cap- it-all Affair.
If any of our renders should visit New
York, and having renewed the outer man
with broadcloth and satin, should desire to 1
complete the joke, wo do not know where !
they could possibly find a better finish to
it, than at Knox’s, in Fulton Street. Wo

Blue Stocking.
In that queer book, “ A Lift for the La
zy,” the following account Is given of the
origin of this term, ns applied to literary
women : “ The society of della ca/za (of the
stocking), was formed in Venice, in the
year 1500; the members being distinguish
ed by the color of their stockings, the pre
vailing tint of which was blue. The society
delta calza lasted till the year 1590, when
the foppery of Italian literature took some
other symbol. The rejected title then
crossed the Alps, and branded female pe
; dantry in Paris. It diverged from France
to England, and, for a while, under the
name of “ has bleu,” marked the vanity of
the small advances in literature of the fe
male coteries of the latter country.” *
The Sleeping Beauty.
Many of our readers are familiar with
Tennyson’s “Lay-Dream,” in which occurs
that exquisite picture of the “ Sleeping
Beauty.” A correspondent of the Literary
IVorld translates from the German of Karl
Simrock, a popular or mediaeval version of
the ballad of the “ Sleeping Beauty,” which
lie says is the germ of all subsequent treat
ments of the subject. Believing that our
readers will join with us in pronouncing it
a very fine little ballad, we give here the
translation referred to:
THE VVAKKR.
“ Far in the tangled forest deeps,
A hundred years the maiden sleeps;
Sleep the flies upon the wall.
Sleep s'eed and houn.l in silence all,
Sleeps the tire within the hall.
Quickly the knight his -word lias drawn.
He cuts his way thr ugh brier and thorn,
Through palace-gate and court he flies,
And by her bed with eager eyes.
He stoops to kiss ht r where she lies!
See from sleep the mai len spring,
Give to him her golden rii g ;
Wake th . flies upon the wall,
Wake steed anil hound from silence all;
The fire is blazing in the hall!” *

Commotion in Cuba. The New Orleans
Delia publishes the following curious let
ters received by the last steamer from Cuba:
“ La ultima ultimorum ?”
Havana, Aug. 29, 1849.
Els. Delta —Four thousand militia are
called into service, two-thirds of which are
Creoles. —When they strike it will be for
“ Libertad.” Conic Lautevcnia, Cundc O’-
Riley and Marquis Estcvan have been ap
pointed commanders of regiments. The
doors of Havana are open. Anybody could
walk in that chose to do so.—The English
Consul lias written to Jamaica for all the
English squadron that could be had, for the
protection of English subjects and property.
The American Consul does the same by this
steamer —their being hero will make all se
cure, and business -will not be interrupted
at any time twenty-four hours—six will do
all needful work here.
Aleoy says if he is to be loser in the game,
lie will let the blacks loose upon the whites,
“enjnnta.” The General of Marine says
arm old and young, Spaniards born, to pro
tect themselves in the streets; which means,
assassinate all Creoles and foreigners. This
was put down by Alcoy. To imprison all
influential Creoles was negatived by the
same. To levy an extraordinary volunta
ry forced contribution on the city was pro
posed by Alcoy, and negatived by Conde Vi
leo Nueve, Intendente, the only wise, good
head the government has here. This is all
effervescence, and will work off without the
j imagined evil; for if any improper act
should be proposed, Alcoy would be head
less in twenty four hours—such as the ne
gro-proposition —and the folly, on reflection,
will strike even his dull senses. He would
be disgraced the world over—could not go
home. If he can win in fair fight let him; |
if he lose, lie must not let Spain lose the sale
to tho United States; the payment of the j
English debt; all'of which would put the
last stroke to paralytic Spain. No time for
more, only that you will bear in mind, that
industry and enterprise here will not be
checked—nor will the commerce of this
city. American.
“ Ultima mora !”
August 28th, 1849.
Eds. Delta —The withdrawal of troops
from Havana to the East and Bouth, leaves
the coast open from San Antonio to Carde
nas.—Should there be any vessels bound to
Cardenas it puts at command the railroads
to the centre —a people all of one mind, and
five hundred could hold against the world—

bel’s within tho city. Near three thousand

California. The Steamer Empire City
arrived at New York, on the 14tli inst., ‘
bringing San Francisco dates, to August 3d.
We copy from tho Telegraphic Report of the
Charleston Mercury, the following items :
Tho steamer California arrived at Pana
ma on the 25th of August from San Fran
cises, making a passage of 26 days. She had
on hoard $700,000 in gold dust, and 61 pas
sengers, nearly all of whom came on in the
Empire City. The steamer Oregon was still
at Panama. She had been repaired, and
would sail for San Francisco in a few days.
Great excitement prevailed at San Fran
cisco, in consequence of a riot which occur- ;
red on the 16th of July. Seventeen of the
rioters were apprehended, und are charged
with conspiring to rob the inhabitants. The
odore SaunJers and Samuel Roberts, upon
trial, were found guilty, and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
An attack was made a few days since, at
the mines by a large party of Americans
upon the tents occupied by the Chilians, and
all the property found in them was destroy
ed or stolen. The excitement occasioned by
this lawless act was very great, and nine
teen of the offenders were arrested.
Provisions are plenty at the mines, and
goods can can be obtained at Sacramento at
San Francisco prices. Business is brisk at
the former place, and improvements rapidly
going forward. Property which three
months since sold for four hundred dollars,
now commands from ten to fifteen thousand
dollars.
The daily average of gold oiAained, per
man, from the best authenticated accounts,
• can be safely set down at about one ounce.
Many do far better than this, while others
scarcely realize this sum.
I Although the weather has been excessive
ly hot, it is not accompanied by the amount
, of sickness anticipated. A few cases of sick
ness exist in the valley of the Sacramento.
The heat was intense at .Sacramento, and
the thermometer was stated to have reached
145 in the shade.
Latest from Santa Fc. Advices from
Santa Fe, via St. Louis, of 15th ult, state
that a fight had taken place with 40 of the
hostile Apache Indians, in which 30 of the
latter were killed, and 6 prisoners taken.
Three of the attacking party were wounded.
Major C'havelle had another fight with the
Uamanches on the 17th of July, near the
Copper Mountains, killing 40, taking 200
prisoners, and capturing 500 mules. In tho
tight only one man was wounded.
Col. Washington's situation at Santa Fe
was considered critical. He is surrounded
by nearly 15,000 Indians.
Mexico. The New Orleans Delta lias se
ceived files of papers from the city of Mexi
co to the 21st inst.
The Trait d’Union remarks that Madam
Bishop and Henri Herz were performing to
overflowing houses, and that their ravish
ing music had so harmonized the antago
nistical factions of the capital, that operas
had superseded pronunciamentos. The
strains of Orpheus were scarcely more po
tent.
The G/obo is very much alarmed lest the
men on Round Island should be destined to
land at Tampico, to aid in the establishment
of the Sierra Madre Republic. It sounds
the alarm to the Government (if reports be
■ true, that the 427 men on Round Island arc
• going to invade and conquer the following
countries: Cuba, the Sierra Madre, Yuca
- tan, the Nicaragua and Venezuela.)
The Mexican journals complain bitterly
■ of the practice still kept up by the English
■ at Belize, Honduras, of furnishing the In
dians of Yucatan with weapons and provis
ions, whereby they are enabled to carry on
the war against the whites.
The Siglo states that some time ago the
authorities of the town of Paso, in the State
of Chihuahua, attempted to arrest three
Americans, who were drunk, when their
companions, amounting to over five hundred
men, arose cn masse, and threatened to take
the town. Tho authoritiecs desisted from
their attempted arrest.
The Mexican Government had offered two
medals as prizes, to the composers of the
two best national hymns for the land of the
Aztec Ilenri llerz was to set the poetry to

The Indians still continue their deeds of
pillage and murder in the frontier States.
Recently they advanced within eight leagues
of Saltillo.
The cholera was raging in Durango—o2s
persons having died in seven days. It has
also broken out in several parts of Zacate -

in the morning; from Savannah, Ga. on the
2.3d, in the evening; and from New Orleans j
in the steam packet Falcon on the 6th of Oc

Memphis Convention. The Charleston
Courier says : “We are requested to state
that Delegates to the St. Louis and Mem
phis Convention will be passed over the
South Carolina, Georgia, and Western und
Atlantic Railroads free of charge, going and
returning. Tickets for which can be ob
tained at the Railroad office, State street.”
Jail burnt. We are informed that the Jail
in Trenton, Dade county, Georgia, was
burned down a few nights ago. It was sup
posed it was done by some persons to des
troy a prisoner by the name of Russel,
whose evidence would convict others of
crime. But fortunately the prisoners were
not destroyed or permitted to escape. These
are the particulars aswc heard them. — Chat

The Queen Coming to Canada. The
Kingston Whig, in announceing the return
of tlie Canadian deputation from London,
who went out to confer with tho Home De
partment, say-s : “ Earl Gray assured the
deputation that he would use his best en
deavors to induce hor Majesty to make a
visit to her transatlantic dominions next
summer. It is also said that Mr. Counter
has a private commission to procure a sui
table residence for her Majesty.”
Difficulty with France. Telegraphic re
ports have been received to the effect that
some few weeks past, the French Ministor,
at Washington, sont an impertinent letter
to Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State. Presi

Sacred Rhetoric. By Henry J. Ripley. Bos
too: Gou'.il, K.ndill & Lincoln. 1549.
Mr. Ripley has already been favorably
known to the theological public, by his ex
cellent notes on the Gospels and the Acts of
the Apostles. If the present volume does
not advance his reputation as an original
thinker, it will at least sustain it as a judi
cious lecturer upon the science of Theology.
We cannot discover any thoughts which
have not been presented by Porter, Camp
i bell, and others, but the book is valuable,
’ as embracing the best observations of these
distinguished writers, expressed in that
; perspicuous English which characterizes
everything from Mr. Ripley’s pen. It will
be found a very convenient manual for
those theological students and young minis
ters, who may not be able to purchase the
works of the more voluminous authors who
have written on this topic.
The value of the book is increased by the
I addition of “Ware's Hints on Extempora
neous Preaching.”
Mechanic's Assistant. By D. M. happen, A
M. New York: 1). Appleton & Cos. 1849.
This is a work well-adapted to the pur
pose for which it was written, viz. to impart
to carpenters, ship-wrights, wheel wrights,
sawyers, gaugers, lumber-men, students,
and artizaus generally, a practical knowl
edge of Mensuration and the Sliding Rule,
The Laws of Motion, Strength of Materials,
Mechanical Powers, &c., &c. It will do
much to extend accurate scientific knowl
edge among our mechanics. *
The Child's First History or Rome. By li.
M. Sewell, author of “Amy Herbert,” etc ,

The publishers deserve the gratitude of

guardians and teachers, for presenting to
them this interesting little volume. The
materials for the work arc drawn from the j
most reliable sources, and are incorporated j
into a perspicuous, graphic and lively nar- j

comprehension of those for whose use the
work is intended—and the book will be j

In Athens, on tho 30th ultimo, Georgia Clara, j
daughter of J. R. and E. A. Carlton, aged two j
yeun, five montht, and fifteen days.
[ln copying tho following briof tribute to the
memory of the dead, we butgive utterance to our
own sorrow and sympathy. We know tho de
parted for many years, and our estimate of he
character was deservedly a high ono. Her life
was a beautiful exhibition of all womanly graces !
—refined and purified still by tho influences of i
piety. Her death was like tho sudden setting of i
a star—making a void in tho h arts of those who
loved hx3r. The symmetry and grace of her char- j
acter will not soon be forgotten by her surviving :
friends. —Fn. Gazette.]
To tfie JKcmor? of fiaiss Bates.
I Veep not, for Heaven hat but recalled its own
A burst of music sweept through tho courts of
heaven, as angels welcomed a “ sister spirit” to
their happy baud; a wail went up from earth, as
that pur.* spirit glide 1 gently home “to the God
who give it.” That cry told that a daughter, a
sister, a friend, kad parsed away,—her pilgrim
age was ended.
But a few weeks had elapsed since this gentle
being, moved in our mid 4, one of “ earth’s
mgcls,” and wo felt even then, that this world
was not the proper sphore for that humble, loving
heart. If there ever dwelt upon earth woman's
j character in all its perfection, without, one dark-
I ening shadow, that character was Miss Abby
Bates. Gifted with superior intellect and a
, highly cultivated and refined mind, she yet
*• bore her faculties as meekly” as a little child
—Warm in her attachments, considerate and
; kind to all around her, faithful in the discharge of
every duty to God and man, unstained by’ mortal
■ selfishness, she lived and died “ a perfect woman,
| nobly planned.” A stronger among us, she yet
won for herself a home in every heart whose bless
ed privilege it was to know her; and though
i Meeting a* a summer’s cloud has been our friend
■ ship, its recollection will never perish, but re
! main forever enshrined among the dearest remem
brances of the past. Those who knew her best
loved her most, and her friends retain no recol
lections of her that they can ever wish blotted
out. In a quiet village church .yard, in her once
i “highland home” slumbers our gentle friend,
that kind voice forever hushed, those mild eyes
| forever closed. Her wish has been fulfilled: by
! the side of the mother so loved when living, she
calmly sleeps. The example of her striking hu
mility', her lovely life, will ever remain with us;
| and in gazing upon that “ little grassy mound”
• each heart must feel, she “ is not here, but ris
en.”
“ Thou art not dead to us ;
Asa bright star unseen,
We hold that thou art ever near,
Though death intrudes between.
Like some thin cloud, that veils from sight
. The countless spangles of the night.”
