To my Hatband,
OS HIS TWENTY-SIXTH BIKTE DAY.
Am I watch thy “birth day” sun, Jake
Bars! forth in golden gleams.
Falling in drops of yellow light
’Mid the leaves, so fresh and green,
1 think of the day, long past,
When sitting by your side.
You threw aside the snowy veil.
And called me “your own bride.”
Oh! the memory is sweet, Jake,
Like music from afar;
Or the soft and silver beaming
Os & bright and holy star.
No shadows dim of sterner life
Hose up before our view,!
That love and hope could net efface,
When you were ‘twenty-two.**
Since then three birth-day suns have ?*!,
And the change of life has come:
As hand in hand, we've watched o :r h.'pcu
All passing, one by one.
We’ve seen the smile of fib-.'.Cci.'p .'Large,
Have felt the bitter pain
To see a kindred heart grow ful-* 1 .
And rob us of our gain.
We’ve knelt]beside a little bed.
And pressed the fever’d cheek i
Soft clasp'd the little hand in ours,
And bathed the clammy eet.
We’ve watched the life-light pass away, *
The quick and struggling breatb.
And we felt when gazing in the cold dead face,
A darker pang than death.
We’ve wandered to the little mound.
And then we've lear nt to know,
The momful sequel of each joy,
A bitter—endless woe.
Yes, the change of life has come, Jake,
But the lesson it has taught.
Will nerve our hearts to bear the 111
With which each joy is fraught.
Aad now, tho’ every hope may Cec,
We will more fondly turn
Cnto the love which long ago
Firm linked our hearts in one :
And tho* the glow of feelings, Jake,
Bum not so bright as yore,
Remember love, ’tls but the shade
Os “twenty-two" and four.

Disastrous Fire.
Tbe large car manufactory and planing mill, of
Mr. Joseph Winship’s, in this city, caught fire on
Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, and was,
with its contents, books, papers and all, entirely
consumed. The workmen had left the building
but a few minutes, when the fire broke out in the
engine room, and so great was the violence of the
Humes—owing to the amount of combustible ma
terial in it—it was impossible to save anything.
The building and contents are estimated at thirty
thousand dollars, upon which there was no insu
rance. The loss will be felt not only by Mr. Win
ship, but bra large number of workmen turned
out of employment, and by the city at large.
The depot of the Western A Atlantic railroad,
distant about seventv-five yards, was in imminent
danger. Its most valuable contents were removed,
but the active energy of our firemen and citizens
succeeded jjn saving the building. Besides the
Atlanta Fire company No. 1, always prompt in the
discharge of their duty, we were pleased to see on
thefieluthe Mechanic Fire compauy No. 2, which
has been but recently organized. They worked
like troopers. The fire engine attached to the
•State road machine shop was brought into requi
sition, and rendered efficient service.
We deeplv sympathise with Mr. Winship in his
loss, whienhas indeed been a severe one—to both ,
himself and the community.

Tried in Seven States, and now it has Wore- j
cd. —The Maine law, says the Providence Post, \
has been fairly tried in seven States of the Ameri
can Union, and in every one it has proved a com
plete failure. From the eastern boundary of Maine
to the western line of Michigan, it has not perma
nently closed a single grog-shop. In Rh<>de Is
land there are three grog-shops to-day where there
was one when the law was enacted. In Maine the
law has been repealed.
The Lawyer and the Jockey.—The Poston
Evening Transcript has been telling some anec
dotes about members of the Massachusetts bar,
and among them this :
A Jockey having once consulted Harrison Gray
Otis in a horse case, the latter sent him a bill of
twenty dollars for advice. The client expostulated,
but Mr. Otis explained to him so fully and so
blandly the reason of such a charge, how he had
speut years at study, and thousands on fitting hnn
selt to advise in such matters, that the jockey was
obliged to capit’shite and pay the bill. Not long
afterwards Mr. Otis was standing in the street, ex
amining a horse that he thought of purchasing,
and, seeing his client passing, called him up, and
asked him what he thought of the animal. The
jockey set his hat aslant, examined him on all
sides, pronouncing his opinion dogmatically, and
then held out his hand for a fee. Ft was Mr. Otis’
turn now to expostulate, but it was all in vain ;
our jockey recounted to him at what cost of time
and money he had fitted himself for judging
horseflesh, and endrd by saying: “ Come, come,
Mr. Otis, professional men must be paid; my
charge is only twenty dollars.” Mr. Otis apprecia
ted the joke and paid the bill.
Extension of the Pensacola Road. —It gratifies
us to be able to announce that the people of West
Florida are at last waking up to the importance of
meeting Middle Florida, m her efforts to unite tbe
extremes of the State by railroad. A western com
pany, of undoubted names, is making arrange
ments, with excellent prospects for success, to
build that portion of the Pensacola and Georgia
road, extending from Pensacola East to the Apa
lachicola river. By a provision in the charter, the
directors are authorized to turn over that part of
their road to this company, and we have every
reason now to believe that the entire distance from
East to West will soon be under contract and in
process of construction.

Fatal Accident. — A man named Cornelius Far
racy, was accidentally killed yesterday morning,
at the c awmill of R. A. Allen A Co., opposite the
city. The deceased, it appears, was engaged in
fixing a belt on a wheel, while in motion, when
one of his arms was caught in the wheel; he final
ly succeeded in extricating it, when be staggered
backed a few steps, and then suddenly fell forward,
his head struck the wheel and was split open by
the concussion.— Savannah Republican, June 23.
A Mansion or the Revolution. —Jas. D. Green,
in introducing Mr. Everett to his Cambridge audi
ence, on Thursday evening, stated that the house
was still standing in Cambridge, it which General
Ward had his head-quarters, and where the Com
mittee of Safety wielded the whole executive pow
er of tbe Province. The mansion is at the North
east corner of the Common, and is io good preser
vation. Ihe bouse of Elbndge Gerry, at Cam
bridge—used as a hospital for tbe sick and wound
ed of the American army after the battles of
1775, is now the residence* of the vecoerable Rev.
Charles lowell, D.D. Washington’s bead quarters,
near by, is now the noble mansion of Longfellow.
At no grett distance stands the majestic elm under
whose grateful shade, July 3, 1775, Washington
took command of the Continental army.
Boston Traveller.
A correspondent of the Tonawanda P'dot, tells of
an incident which occurred last week, while tbe
Hon. Wm. L. Marcy was in Albany. He was
among the “worshipping«sembly !, at l)r. Hague’s
church. As be came up the aisle, so solemn and
devotional in his appearance, Dr. Hague, from
some striking resemblance, doubtless, thought he
recognized in tbe stranger, a superannuated cler
gyman of his acquaintance, and no sooner had he
sot decently petoed than the Doctor beckoned to
is friend the sexton, Tebune* and requested him
to invite the oid gentlemen to take a seat in the
pulpit. The sexton happened to know Mr. Marcy,
an a saved the joke.
There is some excitement, and a little betting,
in private circles, about the speed of the “Atlantic”
and the “Vanderbilt,” which sailed at twelve
o’clock to-day for Europe. Os course the respec
tive owners know nothing of “a race,” but this will
not prevent the boats from “doing their prettiest.”
The “ Atlantic ” goes to Liverpool,and the “ Van
derbuilt ” to Southampton and Havre.

Hoops Doomed. —Ladies, prepare for an extreme
change in your habits, for a Paris correspondent
of the New York Courier says, “ lank as the re
claimer of 1800, the substitute for the full blown
rose, we now behold the belle of 1858 will come
upon u 3 in appalling, unmitigated deformity, sacs
crinoline, sans basque, sans bustle, sans wad, sans
wool, sans cane, sans steel, sans everything.”

U. L. Rodey, of Monroe, presented the resolu
tions of the third District Congressional Conven
tion and moved that they be read before the Con
vention, and are as follows:
This Convention, representing the third Con
gressional District, deeply impressed with the sig
nificance and tendency of events transpiring in the
Territory of Kansas, expresses its deliberate judg
ment thereon us follows:
Rtsolv*d, That we have viewed with serious con
cern, and with decided disapproval, the course
which has been pursued by the Hon. Robert J.
Walker, since his appointment as Governor of the
Territory of Kansas; that his inaugural address to
the people of Kansas indicates u policy inimical to
south rn interests, and we resent it as an unau
thorized intervention between the parties, into
which the people of the Territory are divided, an
unwarrantable dictation, and a departure from that
position of strict neutrality upon the subject of
slavery which ought to be occupied by Federal
officials in the Territoriesof the Union.
Resolved, That we content ourselves with this
emphatic com emnatiou of the inaugural of Gov.
Walker, find trusting that events will show it is
disapproved by the administration ; we refer the
whole subject to the approaching State Conven
tion of the Democratic party, with the confident
expectation that it will take such action in the
premises for the protection of southern rights
and the vindication of the Democratic party of
the State, as the emergency demands.
Mr. Fielder, of Polk, moved that they be referred
to the Committee on Resolutions and business.
After some discussion, the resolutions were read
and referred to the committee for their considera
tion.
Mr. Aycock, of Dade, offered a set of resolu
tions to be read, which, on motion of Ramsey, of
Harris, they and all other resolutions that might
be offered were referred to the Committee for
their action.
On motion, the Convention took a recess until 3
I*. M.
Three o'clock, P. M.. the Convention met.
The chairman of the committee on resolutions
made the following report :
The committee of twenty-four, to whom was as
signed the duly of preparing matter for the action
of this Convention, ask leave to report the follow
ing resolutions as expressive of the opinions of
this Convention on all matters that it is essential
for them to take action upon at this time.
1. Resolved, That we declare our continued ad
herence and increased confidence in the platform
of principles adopted by the Cincinnati Convention
of 1856, and which were made triumphant in the
election of James Buchanan to the Presidency of
these United Slates.
2. Rest Aval, That we declare our continued confi
dence in the patriotism, fidelity and ability of Mr.
Buchanan and his adminisiraiion, that he will hold
even the scales of justice between the different
sections of this Union, and prove faithful to the
great principles of justice and equality which pro
cured his election.
3. Resolved, That the inaugural address of Gov
ernor Walker, in prescribing the terms on which
Congress should admit Kansas into the Union, and
n attempting to dictate the submission of their
Constitution for ratification, and to what class of
’ persons, constitutes a presumptuous interference
in ms tters over which lie has no legitimate control,
and that the same address, in expressing his olli
’ cial opinion that Kansas would become a free
State, and in presenting arguments to support that
side of the question, is a gross departure from the
principles of non-intervention and neutrality which
were established by the Kansas bill; and this Con
vention has full confidence that Mr. Buchanan will
manifest his fidelity to the principles which carried
Inin into office, by recalling Gov. Walker.
4. L’'wived. That we highly approve of the
course of our Senators, the lion. Robert Toombs,
and the Hon. Alfred Iverson; they have faithfully
sei ved the State in the public councils, and deserve
andshou d receive the approbation and confidence
ot a free and intelligent people.
5. Reti h'vid, That we tender to his Excellency,
Gov. Johnson, the expression of our approbation
and esteem ; his administration has been wise and
just, and he has proved himself a fit ruler to guide
the destinies of our beloved State.
Judge Thomas supported the resolutions in a
sound, logical and forcible address. Hon. A. R.
Wright, of presented a minority report as
follows:
Augustus R. Wright, one of the committee of
twenty-four begs leave to dissent from that part of
the report of ttie committee which relates to Gov.
Walker’s inaugural, and the action of the Presi
dent thereon, and to insert in lieu thereof the fol
lowing :
Resolved, 1 st. That this Convention regards the
inaugural of Gov. Walker, of Kansas, as a direct
and palpable violation of the covenant of the Kan
sas and Nebraska act, and of the Cincinnati Plat
form.
Resolved, That we approve of that portion of
his instructions which indicates it to be the will
of the President, that the Constitution when
framed, should be submitted to the people of tne
Territory, and the further qualification indicated
by Governor Walker, that voters ought to be
then, the actual bona fide resident settlers who
shall be by law entitled and qualified voters.
Resolved, That Governor Walker’s official inter
ference, in reference to the character of the Con
stitution to be framed, if it does not involve his
removal, calls for the unqualified disapprobation
of the President.
John W. H. Underwood, of Floyd, and Linton
Stephens, of Hancock, addressed the Convention
in faror of the majority report. The resolutions
reported by the Committee were received with but
tew dissenting voices.
The resolutions were then read and voted upon
separately. The first and second resolutions pass
ed unanimously. Mr. Fkdder, of Polk, offered a
substitute tor the 3d resolution, viz:
Wherbas, the Hon. R. J. Walker, in his late in
augural address to the people of Kansas, has given
expression to sentiments in regard to the climate,
temperature, and implied want of adaptation to
slavery of that Territory, and also its Constitution
and admission into the Union as a S'tate, which
are regarded as infringing upon the a'oetrine of
non-intervention, therefore
ReesAoed, Ist, That any interference on t.he part
of the present or any future Territorial Governor,
| or other federal official, which is designed or cal
culated m the remotest degree to give direction to
public sentiment, or lend tue influence of the Fede-
ral Government for that purpose upon the subject
of slavery, for or against it, being contrary to the
doctrine of non-intervention, should receive the
unqualified disapproval of this Convention.
Resolved % 2d, That when the people of Kansas,
who under the legal Territorial organization there
of, are entitled to exercise the elective franchise
fairly, without fraud wi'.hin or intervention from
without, make a constitution and either directlv
from a State Convention or a vote of ratification
by the people as they may choose, present the
same to Congress and ask for admission as aState,
whether the same be for or against slavery, it is
the duty of Congress to admit them, provided their
constitution is otherwise republican in form.
Which motion was laid upon the table.
The minority report was then offered as a sub
stitute for the 3d resolution, which after some
discussion was voted upon by counties with the
following result:
All the counties voting against the substitute
except the following:
Chattooga, Clarke, Floyd, Hall, McTntosh, Ogle
. thorpe, Polk, Pulaski, Union equally divided." J.
. M. Sessions of Cherokee, J. W. H. Underwood of
Floyd, and G. W. Jordan of Pulaski, recorded their
i votes against the substitute.
The 3d, 4th and sth resolutions were then put
and carried with great unanimity.
Hon. 11. Buchanan, of Coweta, offered the fol
■ lowing resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Convention,
■ that the question of submitting the Constitution
. that may be framed by the Kansas Convention,
when hereafter assembled, to the people, pertains
, wholly to that Convention alone. And should the
• above Convention recognize slavery in Kansas,
whether submitted to the people for ratification or
i rejection or not, and should Congress reject the ap
, plication of Kansas for admission into the Union
. on the ground that the Constitution was not rati
fied by the people, such action on the part of Con
gress would be a violation of the principles of she
Georgia platform of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill and the Cincinnati Platform, and would re
quire the adoption, on the part of Georgia, of the
measures laid down as a last resort in the Georgia
Platform, for a violation of the principles therein
contained.
Which was, on motion of Linton Stephens, of
Hancock, laid upon the table.
Mr. Spalding, of Mclntosh, asked to have his
protest spread upon the records of the Conven
tion, which reads as follows :
Randolph Spalding, of Mclntosh, protests
against that portion of the 3d resolution of the
committee of twenty-four, that calls upon the
President to remove Mr. Walker.

Lumpkin, of Floyd.

The Convention met ami proceeded to ballot.
At this time some discussion arose which was
participated in by Thomas of Elbert, Gordon of
j Chatham. Hillycr of Walton, and Evans of Deca
. tur, in relation to the right of the alternate dele
gates from Lumpkin to participate in casting the
. vote of that county. By a decision of the Con
s vention alternates were allowed to act. The Con
t, vention then proceeded to the seventh ballot:

Mr. G. A. Gordon, delegate from Chatham, rose
to make an explanation. He said that it was well
" known that the county of Chatham had been uni
x formly supporting the Honorable Wm. 11. Stiles.
, But the position of that county, and of the friends
j. Os Mr. Stiles were misunderstood. It had not
been the intention of the friends of Mr. Stiles to
present his name at the opening of the
Convention, The names of other gentlemen
j were more prominent, and they had desired
t a free expression of the views of the conven
' don in reference i<» them before offering their
_ candidate for the suffrage of the convention.
Chatham would support the nominee, whoever he
might be. But they had hoped that, if no selection
{ could be made from the names first presented, Mr.
I Stiles would, better than any other, concentrate the
. strength of the party. Through the unexpected in
j- strumentality or a friend, ignorant of the wishes
, of Chatham, Mr. Stiles’ name had been offered to
the Convention. He (Mr. Gordon) could not with
[ draw the name of Mr. Stiles, because it had never
, been as yet officially offered to the Convention by
[ Chatham county. But, with the sincere thanks of
, Chatham to those who had cast their votes for Mr.
' Stiles, he begged them now to feel at liberty to
select from the more prominent candidates, only
I hoping that, if a nomination could not be secured
with them, the Convention would centre upon the
distinguished sou of Chatham, the Hon. W. U.
, Stiles.

Hon. A. C. Walker, of Richmond, asked per
mission for the Richmond delegation to retire for
consultation. On their return, Col. Clanton,
Chairman of that delegation, withdrew the name
of the Hon. James Gardner, and asked that the
, following letter be read:
Augusta, June 10, 1857.
' 001. Clanton, Chairman Richmond Co. Deleaation:
\ Dear Sir : I deem it important to the welfare of
the Democratic party of Georgia, that the Con
vention of the 24th inst. should nominate a can
■ didate for Governor from among the gentlemen
prominently named in connection with the office,
1 and who will receive votes for it on the Ist ballot.
1 To go out of that list for a candidate, I think would
be likely to create dissatisfaction and dissension. A
1 harmonious union on the candidate to be selected, is
1 essential to meet as triumphant success at the polls
1 as our cause and our principles deserve. It may re
• suit in the course of the ballotings that my nomina
tion would be impracticable, or unadvisable in
view of possible discord and dissensions that
might grow out of it. I consider the harmony
ana prosperity of the party of far more conse
quence than the success and gratification of any
individual member of it. Therefore, in either of
the contingencies above supposed, I hope the Rich
mond county delegation will not hesitate to with
draw my name from the contest. I leave that
matter entirely under their control, and will most
cheerfully abide their action. Respectfully and
truly yours, James Gardner.
T. W. Thomas, of Elbert, addressed the Con
vention, stating that it was utterly out of his pow
er to accept the nomination even .if it were tendered
him unauimously, and hoped that bis friends would
confine their votes to some of the gentlemen prom
inently before the Convention.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot. From
misunderstanding the 14th and 15th ballots were
declared informal and set aside by a vote of the
Convention.
Charles J. Williams, of Muscogee, then re-an
nouuccd the name of lion. Henry G. Lamar.

From the Charleston Evening News, June 26.
Death of Langdon Cheves.
1 It is with emotions of more than common sorrow
' that we have to record the death, last night, at Co
‘ lumbia, of the Hon. Langdon Ciieves. Although
? from the condition of physical feebleness in which
* this distinguished citizen had recently fallen, we
looked for his demise almost momently, still the
y departure from among us of one so eminent and
1 largely identified with the fame and fortunes of
South*Carolina could not be unaccompanied by
. more than an ordinary paDg.
Mr. Cheves was born in September, 1770, on a
branch of Calhoun’s Creek, Abbeville District, he
was consequently in the eighty-first year of his age.
After receiving an ordinary education, he was
placed in the office of Wm. Marshall, Esq., who af
terwards occupied a seat on the Chancery bench.
Mr. Cheves was admitted to the bar about the year
1800, and formed one of the firm of Peace tt Cheves,
in large and successful practice. He was elected
to the legislature in 1808, and soon took a very
high position in the House of Representatives,
where ne filled the chairmanship at one time of
two important committees.
He was subsequently elected Attorney General
of the State, in which "post he continued until he
was elected to Congress.
In 1811, he was chosen to represent this Con
gressional district in the House ot Representatives
of the United States for the unexpired term of
Robt. Marion. He served from 1811 to I*l6. In
this body he was soon a shining mark. We were :
on the eve of war with England, and Mr. Cheves,
as Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs,
assisted by Messrs. Lowndes and Calhoun, advo
cated the creation of a navy, to which the House
and the public were opposed, under the dis
-1 couragcment presented bv the presumed impossi
ble rivalship with the sarge naval force of Eng
land. Mr. Cheves’ counsels prevailed, and the
event justified his conclusions on the subject.
He was twice re-elected to Congress, and made
Speaker for two successive years, making his term
of service memorable by* his advocacy of two
measures of equal public importance, lie gave
the casting vote in the negative, as Speaker of the
House, on the question of re-chartering the old
United States Bank. This vote evinced his inde
pendence, as his subsequent condnct did his moral
courage on the subject of the merchants’ bonds,
against popular opinion and feeling. These bonds
were given for goods imported during the war, the
orders for which had been sent out during the re
strictive measures, and which had become forfeit
ed to the United States nominally. Mr. Cheves’
speech produced a profound impression, inducing
the government to remit the duties,
t Mr. Cheves returned to South Carolina after his
term of Congressional service had expired, and re
sumed the practice of the law’ in Charleston. He
" was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
3 in 1810, in which post he continued until 1811*.
He gave great satisfaction throughout his judicial
career.
While in the exercise of judicial functions, he
1 was invited to the Presidency of the United States
’ Bank, the administration of whose affairs had
given much dissatisfaction. It is admitted, we be-
K neve on all hands, that Mr. Cheves’ Presidency of
that institution furnished a signal proof of his
*» sound judgment and eminent fiscal ability. He
voluntarily resigned this position, and in 1820 re
n moved to* Philadelphia, where he resumed the
practice of the law. He soon returned to Caroli
na, however, and withdrew from all active partici
pation in public affairs, occasionally shedding the
* light of his luminous understanding on public
questions, in which he took interest. As a planter
; so highly practical was Mr. Cheves’ mind, lie was
highly successful.
The characteristics of Mr. Cheves’ understand
■ ing were, we think, acuteness combined with sulid
' ity. There were few subjects beyond the grasp
of his powerful intellect, and no theme, however,
| complicated, that he could not unravel by his ana
lytical powers. He possessed the reasoning facul-
J ty, in its practical application, in annulment de
gree. To this lie brought all schemes and projects,
’ and if he fcould not lay claim to a large portion of
inventive power, he was not led astray by theory
* and principles that could not be utilized. He was
L ’ impatient of contradiction, and was, therefore, in
1 association with others, deemed in some degree im
’ practicable, whose perception of truth was not so
’ quick and sure as his own. In moral qualities
’ that constitute firmness and decision of character,
' Mr. Cheves had no superior among all his con
_ temporaries. He never sacrificed the true to the
’ expedient—right to policy. It was his unbending
rectitude and love or truth that created so large a
P measure of confidence as was ever enjoyed by any
citizen of South Carolina who has adorned a pub
* lie career, while the lustre of _bis private virtues
\ made thut career still more resplendent.

? Miscellaneous Items, •
The Congress of Venezuela adjourned on the
20th of Mil)’. The last act was to ratify the treaty
, with the United States, which was accomplished
i by the urgent solicitation of the Hon. Charles
Eames. the American minister. The country had
been blessed with fine rains, and the crops proiuis
■ ed well.
The Norfolk Herald states that a rumor has pre
vailed there to the effect that the late teller of the
Farmers’Bank was a defaulter for a considerable
amount. The mayor issued a warrant for his ar
rest, but he had not been taken in custody on Mon
day evening.
The Centreville Adoocat* states that on Wednes-
I day night, the 17th instant, the house of Dr. W.
C. Perxins, of Sassafras Neck, Cecil Countv, Md.,
was struck and set on fire by lightning, and entire
ly consumed. His furniture also was almost to
tally ruined.
It is stated that the board of naval officers have
reported in favor of purchasing one thousand one
hundred acres of Blythe Island, Georgia, for a na
* vy yard. The proprietors ask one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, and the Secretary of the
. Navy offers one hundred and thirty thousand dol
* lars for it.
A London correspondent says that Julien is
* coming over again to the United States, and Mr.
' Sims Reeves, with his wife,_is likely also to pay a
flying visit.
A Consistent “Son.”—The following anecdote
is told of a very clever fellow, who had recently
joined the sons of temperance. After becoming a
“ son” he went to Mobile on business, and was
taken ill there. The physician was called, and on
examininghim,pronounced him in a very dangerous
condition, and prescribed brandy. The sick man
told him he could not take it. The doctor insisted
that it was a proper remedy, but the patient told
him that he would not take it. The doctor said he
must, or he would have spasms. “Well,” said the
son of temperance, “ I will try a couple of spasms
first./’
Peaches.—We were presented yesterday, bv
Gen. White, with several specimens of this deli
cious fruit, fully ripe. They were gathered from
his farm on the Isle of Hope, and he informed us
he had eaten a ripe one from his trees as early as
the 9th of the present month. This is rather ahead
of our Mobile friends.

Death op Dougla«s Jbbrold. — By the Persia
we have intelligence of the death of Douglas? Jer
rolu, the well-known dramatic and political writer,
m the fifty-sixth year of his age. Self-educated in
a printing office, (being a practical printer,) the de
ceased rose by the force of his own energy to a
commanding position in the literary circles of Eng
land. lie was first known to fame as a writer for
the stage. He has written in all some forty plays.
His “Black-eyed Susan,’' and the “Rent-Day,"
stamped him' at once as the most popular drama
tist of his time—as the writer, above all others, who
could command the suffrages of the multitude.
Shortly after “Punch” was established, Jerrold be
came one of its regular contributors. One of his
earliest contributions, “On the custom of blessing
the colors for the army,” was so strongly in the
interests of the Peace Society, that the “fnenuß’ ,
had it priuted and placarded*on the walls of sev
eral of the large towns. He soon became a lead
ing spirit in that hebdomadal castigator of follies
and shame. “Punch’s Almanac,” too, was indebt
ed to Jerrold for many of its most piquant con
tents. “The Caudle Lectures” will never be an
unread book among us. These, and “The Story of
a Feather” first appesred in Punch.
As a political wnter Mr. Jerrold showed his pow
ers in the weekly newspaper which bore his name,
and which he started in 1844. Eight, ten, and a
dozen sparkling leaders from his pen appeared
regularly in its pages. During his life he was a!- #
so connected with numerous other magazines and
newspapers, among them “Lloyd’s Weekly News
paper,” of which he was the editor. His versatil
ity was great, and for a fearless exposure of prov
ed abuses, says one of the English journals, he has
scarce left his equal behind. Mr. Jerrold was at
the head of a band of modern writers who have
done more than any other men to raise the great
middle class of English society to its present posi
tion.—Baltimore Sun, June 21.

since our la«t report, the market, as we stated before, having
closed for the present season, with the exception of a lew
straggling bales coming in now and then, and the sales are so
few and lar between as to render quotations almost entirely
nominal. Tin; accounts from all sections of the cotton grow
ing regions are still favorable. Owing to the cold wither
about planting time and the lateness in getting good stands, the
• otton in some portions of the country looks rather sma . ana
planters were quite disheartened until within the last ter. or
tweve days, there having been a decided improvement 1". the
appearance of things, and they now say with favorable weather
and late fronts they expect to make as large a crop as m 1856,
which was the largest ever made, and that the present crop
looks more promising than that of 1855 at this season of the
* e, rhe weather lias been clear and pleasant the past week, and
every prospect of continuing so, which will enable planters to
secure and harvest the largest wheat crop ever made ;i this
country, which is now bringing good prices and we have .• ard
of some engagements being closed at *1 25 fc* bushel; but the
general impression is, prices will settle down to about ft ; but
if the wheat crop should prove as deficient North of this •> wo

Boor and Shoe Mnrkel.
BOSTON, June lih—There is very little change to notice in
the Boot and Shoe market since last week. Buyers from many
of the principal points West ami South-west have arrived, but
their purchases so far have been only a few small lots to sort
up with. No very active movement is looked for until early in
July, and the prospect of a fall trade is still a matter of uncer
tainty. Manufacturers do not feel encouraged sufficiently to
commence active operations, and the late advance in Leather
of about 1 cent ft. will also have a tendency to check all ac
tive movements on their part.
The present indications of the Hide and Leather market,
both here and in New York, warrant us in saying that these
articles have touched their lowest point for the present, and
the only course for manufacturers to pursue, if tney wish to
bring up the price of Boots and Shoes t<> remunerative rates, is
to turn out as few goods as possible. There is now a very fair
supply of all desirable goods suited to the fall trade, and with
our pre-sent facilities for manufac uring, all the wants of the
South and West can be supplied at very short notice.
