Eight Bales of New Cotton.
Mrs. E. F. I.amkin, of Columbia county, sent to
Rees A Linton’s warehouse, in this city, yesterday
afternoon, the iirst load of new cotton received
here this season.
Mrs. L. sent, in 1555, 1856, and nowin 1857, the
lirsi full loads of cotton received in Augusta in
those years.
Chinese Sugar Cane Syrup.
We received yesterday from Dr. J. S. Whitten,
of Hancock, a sample of the syrup he is manu
facturing from the Chinese sugarcane. It is ex
celh in, and we are pleased to learn that the Doc
tor is making about fifty gallons per day.
Chinese Sugar Cane.
We were shown yesterday by Dr. D. Lee, Pro
fessor of Agricultural Chemistry in Franklin Col
lege, the result of some experiments of bis with
t tie Chinese sugar cane.
The syrup lie made was light colored, thick and
Vfi v- sweet, and the tinest specimen we have seen.
Dr. Lee’s chemical knowledge has enabled him to
correct the error made by the chemists in Boston,
and he has demonstrated that the sacharme mat
ter nt the Sorglt# can he cry s tali zed into cane su
r.tr. The granular forms were distinctly seen and
tasted in a specimen of the sugar we examined,
which had been manufactured from the juices of
cane growing on the day the experiment was
made.
The observation and experience of hundreds
who have cultivated small quantities of the Chi
li, se sugarcane this year, abundantly prove that
syrup of a superior quality can he made with but
little trouble and expense, and Dr. Lee has demon
strated that sugar can also he manufactured from
it let the South then prepare for an extensive
cultivation of the plant.
We find the following paragraph in the
Washington States of the 3rd inst. Mr. Kino was
the gentleman through whom the manifesto of the
Connecticut clergymen, and others, published by
i s on Saturday, was transmitted to the President:
“Mr. Horatio King requests us to state that he
was completely ignorant of the nature of the com
munication sent through hint to the President. He
received it through the mail, accompanied by a
note from a person to him unknown, politely re
questing him to have it delivered to the President.
Mr. King sent it to the private secretary of Mr.
Buchanan, with a note stating that he was unaware
of the contents of the packet.”
Death of Marshall Hall, M. D.
The London Lancet informs us that death has
exacted from the great physiologist of the age the
last debt of nature. Slowly, surely and relentlessly
disease has been undermining the earthly taber
nacle of a mind which, for vast powers, high
purpose and indomitable energy, has found no
superior in its native land in the present half
century. On Tuesday, 11th August, Dr. Marshall
llall died at Brighton, aged sixty-seven years.
It is impossible to record this melancholy event
without the deepest sorrow. The loss is one which
all must feel most keenly who have a reverence
lor high endeavors, for earnest devotion to science,
aud for all the sterling qualities which can adorn a
man. Science has lost the worthiest of her sons,
medicine has lost a great master, and philosophy
a great thinker. The clear aud vivid intellect of
this celebrated man has steadily and successfully
risen superior to the depressing influences of
disease for the last fifteen years. Even during the
present year, when confined to one room, his
chamber has been a scene of intellectual activity.
Physical debility, which robs men of their power
of thinking and reasoning, had not dimmed the
brightness of his wonderful mind. Clear and
penetrating, and impelled by a wide philanthropy,
the last contribution of Dr. Marshall Hall to
science has been a pre-eminently useful one to the
cause of humanity. It is thus thatgreat men should
die. There is a grandeur in such a life-end to
which the mere external grace of a falling Ctesar
is not for one moment comparable.
Dr. Hall was horn at Basford, in Nottingham
shire, in 1780,{and manriculated at Edinburg in
1809 —in a school of the giants of those days—
Cullen, Home, Rutherford, Gregory, Hamilton,
Bell and Barclay, were the lights of that noble
period of medical success. He there first developed
liis interesting and valuable views in relation to the
chemical affinities of bodies. In 1812 he took his
degree, aud was appointed house physician, under
Hamilton and Speus, at the Royal Infirmary of
Edinburg. He there delivered his first lectures on
Diagnosis, the basis of his subsequent treatise ou
the subject. He remained five years in that school,
taught by great men, aud infected by that en
thusiasm which pervaded all who came within
their circle. Before he settled as a practitioner, he
visited the schools of Paris, Berlin aud Gottiugen,
and at the latter place became acquainted with
Blumenbach. lu 1815, he settled ut Nottingham,
where he remained teu years, aud then removed
to London.
Soon after reaching London, he published his
experiments on the Loss of Blood, which completely
revolutionized the practice of medicine. Other
valuable works followed from his pen, on various
subjects of physiological research, previous to his
great discoveries of the reflex functions of the
spinal cord. His success in the treatment of
nervous diseases was based on his physiological
discoveries, and innumerable symptoms of other
diseases were rendered intelligible, which had
before been obscure. Strange to say, the Royal
Society decided that his memoir “On the .Spinal
Marrow and the Ereito Marts* System of Xercts,”
was unworthy of publication. How different the
verdict of the world ! The society which formerly
received his contribution coldly now mourns the
loss of its brightest and most illustrious member.
We have condensed from tit e Lancet this notice of
this eminent man; and but for its length would
have given it in full. He died from exhaustion, !
produced by stricture of his oesophagus, of uiauv
v ears standing, accompanied latterly by ulceration.
I)r. Hall was deeply imbued with a'sense of the |
obligation of a practical cultivation of religion. :
He was above all subterfuge, quackery and guile ; !
simple and child-like in disposition, a kind hus
band, affectionate father, and a faithful friend. He
is a loss to science, to humanity, to the world.

VicKstu ttC, Sept. 3.—A duel was fought oppo
site this city, at four o’clock, this afternoon, be
tween S. S’. Calhoun and E. J. Bowers, both of
Canton, Miss.
Calhouu was shot through the left leg, just above
the knee.
Bowers escaped i with a ball through the leg of
his pants) unhurt.
The duel was fought with rifles—distance sixty
yards. Only one round.
The cause of the duel was a ball room difficulty.
The Discussion between Messrs. Stephens
and Miller.
Mr. Miller's speech, in reply to Mr. Stephens,
was more discursive, disconnected, disjointed and
inconsequent, than any to which we have ever lis
tened from a candidate for Congress. As there was
no order in his remarks,,we cannot give them in their
order, and must content ourselves with stating
briefly the points which he made, or rather the
points, which it was understood, he designed to
make, liis speech, we may premise, was not a
discussion of principies, so much as an arraign
ment of his opponent, Mr. Stephens, upon points
in his political record, upon which he has been re
peatedly arraigned and as often acquitted by the
people.
1. Mr. Miller, voluntarily a participant in the
discussion, upon terms accepted by him, consumed
some time in complaining of his want of time, al*
though the time allowed him was the same allow
ed by him to Mr. Stephens, at Crawfordville. He
had no time, he stated, to tell his auditors what
Mr. Stephens and John E. Ward,, Esq., had said of
Mr. Fili.more, and to tell them a great many
other things of which he desired to remind them.
2. Mr. Miller charged that Mr. Stephens had
abused the members of the American Order, call
i’-g them “Jacobins,’’ “ midnight assassins,’’and
a great many other opprobrious names. In doing
this Mr. Stephens had slandered men as honorable
as he or Mr. Stephens was, and had shown in
gratitude to those who had sustained and honored
hint, and when he did it, he, (Mr. Miller) although
he had supported him for twelve or thirteen years,
and was not a member of the American Order,
abandoned hint.
3. Mr. Miller charged that Mr. Stephens had
said in a speech in the House of Representatives,
that Kansas, under the operation of the laws of
climate, &c., would be a free State. lie read a re
port of his remarks upon this subject from a news,
paper and appealed to Mr. Stephens to know if it
was correct. Mr. Stephens promptly replied that
it was not, and Mr. Millbr as promptly withdrew
the charge.
4. Mr. Miller charged that Mr. Stephens, in a
public speech at some place, during the last can
vass in this District for Congress, had said, “elect
me and save Kansas,” and gave as liis authority
for the charge, Malcolm Jones, Esq., of Burke
county.
5. Mr. Miller read from the Constitutionalist of
1553, a portion of Mr. Stephens’ speech delivered
in the House of Representatives in 1345, upon the
annexation of Texas. It was published in that
paper in juxtaposition with a letter of Mr. Dix of
New York, written in 1853 to Dr. Garvin of this
city, ami introduced in a few remarks by the
then editor of the Constitutionalist, in which he
asked, “If Mr. Dix is a Freesoiler, what is Alex
ander Hamilton Stephens? The portion ot Mr.
Stephens’ speech read by Mr. Miller was as fol
lows:
“ I am no defender of slavery in the abstract.
Liberty always had charms for me. and I would
rejoice, to see all the sous of Adam’s family, in
every land and clime, in the enjoyment of those
rights which are set forth in our Declaration of In
dependence as ‘natural and inalienable,’ if astern
necessity bearing the marks and impress of the hand
rfthe Creator himself, dkl not in some cases interpose
and prevent."
Mr. Miller defended Mr. Stephens from the
charge made by the Constitutionalist (which by
the way was not made) that he was a Free
soiler, declared that lie did not believe he was
and seemed to have read the extract, for the occa
sion which it afforded hint to declare, as he did,
that lte was “a defender of slavery in the abstract.”
0. Mr. Miller approved the doctrine of non-in
tervention —approved the resolution of the Demo
cratic State Convention, demanding the recall of
Walker— denounced Walker, denounced Mr. Bu
chanan and the members of his cabinet, ly efenng
particularly to Mr. Cobb; for their treachery to the
Sou'lt. in sustaining Walker in his violation of
the principles of the Kansas-Nehraska act, stated
that the northern Democracy would sustain him,
and then stated that if he had been in Congress at
the time of the passage of the Kansas-Nehraska
act, with the lights before him, he would have rated
against it.
7. Mr. Miller stated that Mr. Stephens had said
in his address to the voters of the District, in re
ference to Mr. Buchanan’s administration, that
‘apart from this Walker business, no administra
tion has ever, in my day, so fully met my cordial
‘approval,” and he called upon him to state what
it had done to secure from him this hearty endorse
ment of approval, and by what its history, thus
far, had been marked, except treachery to the
South in this Walker business, and treachery to
the Kansas-Nehraska act, with which Mr. Stephens
in his address had said that he was identified.
We have given, we believe, the substance of Mr.
Miller’s speech. If there is anything of any im
portance omitted by us, or incorrectly stated, he
can have the use of our columns to supply it or to
correct it.
Mr. Stephens, rising to reply, begged that his
auditors would remain perfectly quiet, as he bad
hut a short time in which to address them, and de
sired that everything he said should be heard and
understood. This request was not heeded, for
almost every sentence he uttered was received with
shouts of applause, and he had frequentlytopau.se
tn the midst of a sentence, and wait until the
cheering had ceased before he could proceed.
This reply of halt an hour was one of Mr. Ste
phens happiest efforts, and the feeling of disap
pointment was almost universal when the chair
man of the meeting announced that his time had
expired. The crowd, like Oliver Twist, evident
ly wanted “ more.”
Mr. Stephens began his reply by defending the
Administration from the charge that its history,
thus far, had been unmarked, except by treachery
to the South, and replying to Mr. Miller’s ques
tion, what had it done? he asked what had it left
undone, which a southern man could with proprie
ty ask that a National Administration should do?
What had Mr. Buchanan done, to recommend him to
theconfidence of southern men? He had appointed
four southern men as members of his cabinet, and
from the North he had selected three others who had
been distinguished for tlieir firm, unyielding and
unselfish devotion to the constitutional rights of
the South. Two of them, Gen. Cass and Mr. Tou
cev, had sacrificed themselves at home, and been
defeated by Black Republicans, because they stood
by tiie South in her hour of need, and Sir. Bu
chanan had shown his appreciation of their
broad nationality, and his inclination to pro
tect the northern defenders of southern rights,
! by calling them to high office and selecting
them as his Cabinet advisers. What had he done?
He had, in bis inaugural address, done more
than any man who had preceded him in the
| Presidential oflice ever had done, in givittg
1 in his adhesion in advance of its delivery to
j the principles of the Dred Scott decision of the
' Supreme Court, and proclaiming, as a rule for the
j conduct of his Administration, the true doctrine
j of southern equality in the Territories of the
Union. What had he done? He had given us
I the whole governmental organization of the Terri
! torv of Kansas, had recognised the laws of that
Territory, against which the Black Republicans
: had revolted, aud had placed southern men in
| every office of honor or influence in the Territory,
: and had placed no man in office in Kansas, or any
j where else, who was not pledged to sustain the
Kansas-Nehraska act aud ail the other legislation
of Congress, which secured to the South her
rights under the Constitution. What had he
done? What had he not done which a southern
man, with any propriety, could ask that a Presi
dent of the United States should do.
Mr. Stephens then denied emphatically that he
had ever denounced members of the American
Older, as “midnight assassins" in any speech he
had ever made. He had never, in any public
speech, said anything of the members of the
j American party, which was designed to wound
i their feelings, or which ought to have wounded
; their feelings. His best and truest friends were
, members of that Order. No feeling with bint was
i stronger than that of gratitude. He was grateful
I to them for their long and unwavering support of
him, but because he was grateful to them—be
cause be was under obligations to them—because
they were his friends, he had felt it his duty to
I speak plainly to them and to warn them of the
dangers which lay in the path they were pursuing \
when they connected themselves with the Ameri- j
can Order. That Order he had denounced—not its i
members. He had denounced it in 1855, at the !
City Hall in Augusta—he had denounced it when j
it was thought to be irresistible, and he could not j
he expected to deny that he had done this now !
that it was dead—that nobody defended it—and
that his honorable competitor who charged
it upon him, thought that his best recommen
dation to the people of this District was the
fact that he never belonged to it! He had
denounced it, as an organization tending, like the
Jacobin clubs of France, to the subversion of all
government, and the inauguration of anarchy,
and as an organization destiuctive of all the social
virtues of our people, and for these reasons, and in
this way, lte was still ready to denounce it. His
opponent (Mr. Miller) had no occasion to abandon
him after supporting him for twelve or thirteen
years, upon the ground that he had denounced the
members of the American Order —because he had
not done it, and in this connection, referingto Mr.
Miller’s statement, that he had sustained him for
twelve or thirteen years, he remarked, that he had
represented the Eighth district only four years
had been a candidate for Congress twice, and Mr.
Miller had voted for him once, and against him
once. This was an illustration of Mr. Miller’s
loose way of stating facts.
Mr. Stephens then denied that he had ever said
in any public speech, “elect me and save Kansas.”
He had never, as a candidate for Congress, made
a speech in the place where Mr. Miller had charg
ed that he had made use of this expression. If
Mr. Jones stated that he had, Mr. Jones was mis
taken. When a candidate for the last Congress,
the repeal of the Kansas-Nehraska act was the great
question agitated at the North. He had besought
the people of this District to stand by that act and
and by those who would sustain it, but he never
had said “ elect me and save Kansas.”
Mr. Stephens then referred to that portion of
his Texas speech which had been quoted by Mr-
Miller, remarking that the Constitutionalist, in
1853, had published it, he supposed, in juxtaposi
tion with the letter of Mr. Dix to Dr. Garvin, not
so much to show that lie was a Freesoiler us to
show that Dix, then an appointee of the Pierce
Administration, was not. The Democracy about
that time were in the habit of giving him as hard
licks as they could, and he thought he had given
them just as hard ones in return. He saw nothing
in the remark of the editor of the Constitutionalist,
in introducing his speech, to object to. Mr. Mil
ler had defended him from the inference which
he (Mr. Miller) had drawn from that introduction,
lie cared nothing about it. It was part of the tac
tics of au old tight which was forgotten. Let the
dead bury their dead, and let us, instead of fight
ing over dead and forgotton issues, move for
ward, as every thing about us moves, and
keep up with the living issues of the day.
Mr. Miller had said very emphatically that he
was “a defender of slavery in the abstract.” He
wished to say with equal emphasis, that lie was
nut. Slavery in the abstract was slavery consid
ered alone, independent of everything else—dis
joined and separated from every fact, circumstance
and reason, which might, in certain cases justify
the servitude of one race to another. A defender
of slavery in the abstract, would he compelled to
defend all the oppressions and tyrannies which had
ever been practised by white men upon white men.
Mr. Miller had boasted that he was a defender of
slavery in the abstract. He was not liberty rath
er had charms for him lie would be glad to see all
the race of Adam free, hut he recognised, as he had
stated in his Texas speech, facts and circumstances
connected with the African race, which justified
and required its subjection to the white. Georgia
was not lees a free State, less devoted to the prin
ciples of liberty, or less opposed to “slavery in the
abstract,” because it recognised the institution of
African slavery, it enslaved blacks, but it was
still as free a State as Massachusetts. Mr. Miller,
in asserting that he was “a defender of slavery in
abstract,” had asserted a doctrine which would
justify the enslavement of white men, and all the
oppression and tyranny which had ever been prac
tised against them.
Mr. Stephens, after thus confounding the “de
fender of slavery in the abstract,” called theatten
tiou of his auditors to the fact that Mr. Miller,
although attempting to oust him from his seat in
Congress, and although requested by him to de
signate the vote, or votes, given by him whilst a
representative of the Eighth District, of which he,
or the party he represented, complained, had fail
ed to designate a single one.
In reference to Kansas, Walker and the Ad
ministration, Mr. Stephens stated lhat he had re
prehended the course pursued by Governor Walk
eh in dictating to the convention of the people of
Kansas, in what wav it should determine the ques
tion of slavery. That convention, he had stated, had
plenary power oyer the subject, and could frame a
Constitution recognising or prohibiting slavery,
as it might think proper, and submit it to the peo
ple or not, as it might, think proper. He was pre
pared to defend against Governor Walker or the
Administration, the right of the people of Kansas
in convention, to settle the question of slavery “in
their own way.” His conviction was, that the Ad
miuistrtion would defend this right of the peeple
of Kansas, and that the national Democracy
would unite in protecting it. Mr. Miller had
stated that Mr. Buchanan approved of every
thing Walker had done. Where was the proof?
Mr. MrLLER had stated that all the northern Demo
crats elected to the next Congress, would sustain
Walker. Where war the proof? He had seen it
stated in a newspaper that Mr. Walker had stated
to some gentleman that his Inaugural Address had
been submitted to the President and to Mr. Don
las, before its delivery, and approved by them.
He did not believe it. The President had very re
cently written a letter to a number of clergymen
and others, who had protested against his action
in reference to Kansas, in which he recognised the
legality of the laws under which the constitutional
convention of Kansas would be held, affirmed the
true principle of the Kansas-Nehraska act, and
taken issue with Gov. Walker upon an important
point in Ins plan of adjustment. As to Mr. Doug
las, he had the best evidence that this statement in
reference to him was not true. Mr. Stephens then
read front Mr. Douglas’ speech, delivered some
months ago, at Springfield, 111., in which that gentle
man had broadly and boldly,asserted the true prin
ciple of the Kansas act, and had declared that the
people of Kansas, in Convention, had the right to
determine the question for themselves, and in their
own way, with no limitation of their right in the
premises hut the Constitution of the United
States. This was Mr. Douglas’ position, and
he believed that it would he sustained by the
Democratic supporters of the Kansas bill at
the North. But whilst reprehending the course
of Walker, and of all who might sustain him, they
were with hint infinitely preferable to the honora
ble gentleman who was his competitor for a seat
in the next Congress. Far as they were from hint
in sympathy and in principle, that gentleman was
infinitely farther—as much farther as the stars are
beyond the planets of our solar system. They
misinterpreted the Kattsas act —that gentleman
opposes it, and states that if he had been in Con
gress when it was upon its passage, he would have
voted against it. They were in favor of permiting
everybody in the Territory to vote upon the ques
tion of slavery—that gentleman opposes the legis
lation which opened the Territory to s'avery, and
gave the South a chance to carry its institutions
there. Their policy endangers the interests of the
South iu the Territory—if his policy had been
adopted, the South would not have had any inter
ests there.
Mr. Stephens was proceeding farther to illus
trate his idea that Walker and his supporters
were infinitely preferable to Mr. Miller, iu his
position of open hostility to the Kansas act, when
the chairman announced that his time had expired.
We may, possibly,(misrepresent in some unim
portant particulars, Mr. Stephens or Mr. Miller,
in this hurried and imperfect report of their dis
cussion at Concert Hall, but it is, we believe, sub
stantially correct in all important particulars.
Mr. Stephens will visit our city again during
the canvass, when he will have a better opportu
nity, elaborately to discuss the political questions
of the dav.
From the Daily Petersburg ( la.) Hxprest, Sept. 7.
Destructive Fire at Alexandria.
A fire broke out in Alexandria Saturday night
about 12 o’clock, in the frame tenement at the cor
ner of King and Royal streets, occupied as a cloth
ing store, bv H. Blondhajm. The flames, says the
Sentinel, spread quicker than the alarm, and soon
set fire to the roof of a frame tenement adjoin
ing on the East, recently occupied by E. G. 'VN ant
ing as a hat store, as well as to a row of frame
buildings ou the North, occupied as follows :
John Jones, tobacco and cigar store.
Samuel Harper, tobacco and cigar store.
J. T. Taylor k Son, shoe finding store.
G. L. Deaton, shoe finding store and dwelling.
John Fornshill, gunsmithing establishment and
dwelling.
Atone time the new market house was on fire
by the falling sparks.
The losses and insurances may be summed "up
as follows:
John Jones, owner of two of the tenements is
insured in the Baltimore office for $1,200, and Geo.
Keaton who owns the remainer, has his losses
about eorered by an insurance of $2,000 in Alex
andria. Os the tenants:
11. Blondhiem, insured in New York for $3,000;
covers loss.
John Jones, no insurance on stock ; loss not
great.
Samuel Harper, said to be insured for s7<>o in
Alexandria.
John T. Taylor & Son, insured in a Philadelphia
office; sufficient to cover loss.
G. L. Deaton, no insurance; slight loss beyond
the damage sustained in moving.
John Fonshill, no insurance; loss in removal,
&c , several hundred dollars.
The fire is suppesed to have originated from a
spark dropped from a candle which one of the
tenants carried into the upper story of Mr. Har
per’s establishment in the early portion of the
evening.
