in a ail ?a 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. EIHTOII’S DEPARTMENT. WM. O. RICHARDS. Editor. D. H. JACQUES, Assistant Editor. Sltijrns, (Grovtjia : c [Saturday 22. IS 19. [letters from the north NO. I. Hath bun's Horn., .yeti’ York, ) Sept. 14th, 1849. J 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, W. C. R. 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. * iiitaaiE)©” i/iiiat ©lain 1 !* our (£?os3ip Column. 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 have tried his hats for several summers, and found them what they were said to be, j light, elegant and durable. 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!” * Notices to Correspondents.

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— of Cuba.—About one hundred men of Isa bel’s within tho city. Near three thousand men have left Havana up to this hour —sev- en o’clock p. m. Ameicano. The countay militia are called into the public service. The people will be with the people. 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 music. 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 - cas. Pacific Mails. The Post Office Depart ment announces that the next mails for Cha gres, Panama, Monterey aud San Francisco, will be despatched by the Government steamship Ohio from New York, on the 20th instant; from Charleston S. C. on the 23d, 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 tober next. 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 tanooga Gazette. Savannah anil JYew Orleans. The deaths in Savannah for the week ending the 11th inst. were 17 : Whites, 12; Blacks, o. Tho deaths in New Orleans for the week ending the Bth inst. were 108 ; of which 16 were by Yellow Fever, and 3 by Pernicious Fever. 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 dent Taylor immediately demanded from the French government the recall of their Min ister. This demand not having been com plied with, the President has informed M, Poussin, the Minister, that his passport is ready for him. £I)C ©lb In or lb. i Since our last the Europa has arrived at Boston, bringing Liverpool dates toSept Ist. Previous accounts of the disastrous tormina- | tion of the glorious Hungarian struggle for Liberty are fully confirmed. Farther than this the news is of little importance. The last spark of the fire of European Freedom has been trodden out by the minions of Des potism. • It will be relighted. The affairs of Rome arc still unsettled. The Pope and the French Government con tinue at variance. The Pope demands the disbandment of the entire Roman array, while the French insist that all who choose shall retain their positions. The Russian Ambassador at Paris has of ficially announced that the Czar has no idea of tci ritorial aggrandizement, and will with draw liis troops from Austria as soon as the Hungarians lay down their arms. Louis Napoleon is about to marry a daugh ter of the King of Sweden, and has des patched Monsieur I’oingay to arrange the necessary preliminaries. The Cholera is increasing at London, but decreasing at Liverpool. The city of Venice, after a most glorious struggle, has capitulated upon the terms of fered by Radetzky. Among the passengers in the Europa wastlie Hon. George Bancroft, American Minister at the Court of St. James. ©ur Cook (table. 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 , etc. New York : I). Appleton & Cos. 1819. The publishers deserve the gratitude of our young friends, and of their parents, 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 rative. Tho style is well adapted to the comprehension of those for whose use the work is intended—and the book will be j studied with interest as well as profit. * Story of a Genius, or Co'a Monti. Bv ihe au thor of “ flow to Win Love,” &o. N. York : D. Appleton & Cos. 1849 This is decidedly the most beautiful and impressive little narrative we have met with of late. A deep and touching interest per- j vades the story of Cola Monti, which cannot j fail to draw the quick tear of sympathy to j the eye of the young reader.

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.
