Metkorologic Phenomena. —A curious hindrance to accurate weath er observations is reported from Lake Huron. The forest fires on the Cunadian shores have caused Srtcli a dense atmosphere as hearty to put an end to lake navigation. And now. the volume of smoke has been driven southeastwardly into Pennsylvania, in a wedge like form. When, the woather observers are more generally,distributed wo shall, perhaps, be able to trace up to their source some of the curious phenom ena ot smoky haze which have both ered the seafarers on the Pacific, blotting out the sun and given rise to wild prophecies of earthquake, The State Road Thieves.— Hotchkiss, lato Blodgett’s auditor of State lload accounts, has been bound over to be tried for cheating and swindling while engaged in thttt capacity. This trial implicated the whole elan, and it is thought we will yet learn what went with the carningaof the road during Blod gett’s administration. ( . The- A'tlaHta Sun of Monday morn injj states that it is informed that “ all the books and vouchers of any importance belonging to the State lload office, have been turned over to tbo-Board ot.Commissioners ap pointed by the Legislature to inves tigate and audit claims against the Road--this, upon , the order of .the Governor, who gave the samo by telegraph from New York, or wher ever ho may have been ai, the time he gave the order.” The order in cludes the pass-book which A. L. Harris had taken into his private koeping. Important Revenue Decision. ~*-Oh the 16th of March last the late Commissioner of Internal Rev enuo decided that any writing, whether called a receipt or other wise, which contains a contract to continue in force any policy of in surance which had not expired, is exempt from stamp duty. Commissioner Douglass, on- the lGth in a letter to Collector Ames, of Providence, It. L, revers ed this decision, and holds “That any written contract, made in the form of a receipt or otherwise, which renews or continues a policy, requires the same stamp as the original policy,” whether the renew al receipt is given before or after the expiration of the ]»olmy. It is estimated that the stamp tax referred to y.elded the Government about half a million dollars per an num, which was, of course, lost un der the doei'sioti of March 16th. Revenue from this source is restored '»y the present decision. ' The Cholera. — A case about Which the doctors differ is reported in New York. Another, in Louis vifle, Ivy., is reported more posi tively by the Ledger of that city, of tlfb ICth inst. Whether either or bfth of these were genuine cases of Asiatic cholera,, it appears that both terminated fatally in a short time. The reports are at least sufficient to quicken flic’ apprehension that the cholera will reach America this .year. There is. no cause for alarm, but prudence in diet and the use of all precautionary measures ought to be resorted to The accounts from Europe repre sent tire cholera as* stiff spreading on the eastern frontiers of GciTnany. ByC. &C. Railrdatf—The Lffitfpkin and Columbus War, We aro glad to see that the Rail road war between Lumpkin and Colmrtbrrs is about to terminate, and the papers of the respective' places are cooling down and attempt ing to harmonize the discordant ele. m'ents. We copy the following log' ical remarks on the subject from the Columbus Enquirer of the 18th inst: i Wc.jire officially advised that at ’Gutjbbyrt and'ptber localities below Lumpkin, along the line of the Bainbridge, Cuthbert <k Columbus Railroad, there is no disposition whatever tjo give Columbus the ‘Wold shoulder” in-regard to .the extension of the road. The propo sition to stop it at Lumpkin, or to divert-it to Eufaula or Hawkinsville, is exclusively a notion of people iu Lumpkin, and its vicinity.* The Directors, who have the decision of the question until instructed by the stockholders, still want to build the road to Columbus, and to build it at once. They desire,, above all tilings, that Columbus should sub stantially manifest such* an interest in the road as will warrant them in Commencing work at this end and hurrying its completion. They con template with interest the connec tions that wo are about to make with the great markets of the North and. West, and appreciate that the advantages which a direct ooinmu nic&tion with Columbus, she haring such connections, will give them. They do norsce, for instance, why tho trade of Cuthbert should go to Macon, 118 miles distant, when it could, by the extension of the Bain bridge, Cuthbert k Columbus Rail road, reach Columbus, as good a market, by a road *of 00 miles; nor is the advantage of going to Atlan ta by way of Macon, miles, apparent to them, when they could reach Atlanta,, via .Columbus, jn 120 miles. The people of Lump kin—still nearer to Columbus, and still farther from Macon and Atlan ta by the Southwestern or Hawkins villo route—may see some atlvan- tage in elbowing around Columbus, but the people on the route below them are not yet able to sec it. At the same time, the people along the lower soction of the read do complain of the apparent apathy or the Citizens of Columbus con cerning it. They do not fully ap prehend the necessities that have constrained Columbus to look at once to the other connections and to strain every effort to improve and extend them, both for her ben efit and for that of the people be low us, whose trade we hope to re gain by making Columbus their best and most accessible market. We hope that a better understand ing of these matters will soon be effected, and that there will be a hearty>. co-operation in expediting the original plan of the enterprise. The Albany connection need not interfere with it In ti,e least, but rdlher be made to facilitate it We have encouraging reports of the progress ot the work below and immediately above Cuthbert. The Engineer corps commenced the lo cation of the road north of Cuth bert on Monday last, and by next week a large force will be sent to work on that section. The Direc tors hope to he able to reach Lump kin by the Ist of January next. A telegram from New York, dated Tuesday last, announced that a ship ment of iron for the road had been made, and would be followed rapid ly by enough to finish it to Lump kin.. This indicates energy and progress—more than our people at? tliis end of the line were aware of. We hope that our citizens will nQw realize the fact that the iron horse is coming through a country that has never heard his startling snort before—a country whose trade nat urally belongs to us, and can be re gained by our taking to ourselves tlio advice that Hercules gave to the stalled wagoner. Bainbridge, Cutbbert & Columbus Railroad. A great many of our citizens have enquired of us as to the pro gress of the above road. We have made diligent enquiry, and can state upon what wo consider good au thority, that the road is progress ing as rapidly as possible. Some thing over two hundred hands are employed upou the work between this place and Cuthbert. We learn from the same source that the Com pany has puuhasod a sufficient quan tity of it on to lay the track seven ty miles, also ten fine engines and a number of extra lino cars. The largest force under Col. Win. Mc- Lendon, is working from Cuthbert this way ; while Major Harris the veteran pioneer of the road, is work ing from Colquitt Northward.— The laying of the iron will com inenee both from this point and Cuthbert, and that, from what we can learn at no distant day. The county of Stewart hassubsenbed one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars to have the road extended from Cuthbert to Lumpkin. We do not hesitate iu saying, that in our opinion, the road will be in runninj order to Colquitt by the first of December at furlherest. ‘‘So mote it be.”— Baiubridge Sun. AccuUj*ing to a late writer, sun stroke is due to the action of light on the brain, exerted through the eye, alul not, as generally believed, to an elevation of temperature; qjjd it is asserted that it the eye be prop erly shaded from the glare of the sun, *ny unusual precaution _in the way of protecting the head and back of the neck may be dispensed with. GREAT STORM IN SAVANNAH. Particulars of Losses—Damage to Crops. In our edition of yesterday w’e briefly alluded to the storm, which was prevailing at the time of going to press. It'was found impossible to give any particulars as to the damage done to property in this city and vicinity, owing to the fiercenesßs with which the storm prevailed, rendering it impossible for even an enterprising local to breast the. same wjt.hout serious danger to life and limb. The whole nightlong the winds howled and the rain descended as though the ■ foundations of the great deep above and below .bats broken up. • - Upon the subsidence of tho wind and rain yesterday, morning, we set f out in search dor-rtenu. of itprerest .iii connection with this the most fearful gale Savannah has experi enced for many years, and which in its results hasp roved more disas trons to property than the celebra ted storm of September 8, 1854. As stated, the wind commenced blowing a gale from the northeast about 1 o’clock p. m.. Friday, oc companied by deluges of rain fall ing in torrents without intermis sion The gale increased in fury, and the rain descended in floods un til between H and 12 o’clock p. m., at which time it reached its height. The most substantial residences fa cing the north, were flooded. The streets looked like one sea, and the wind howled and howled again, tearing away everything exposed to their fury, doing an immense amount of damage. THE DAMAGE sustained by the public works in and about the city will probably not fall short of §IOO,OOO. The main sewer on East. Broad street, which is being' built under contract with C. Casey, was very seriously damaged and torn up for about two hundred and fifty feet, necessitating a very large amount of work and labor in removing the debris and in excavating again that portion of the work been damaged. Tho canal, between Lawton’s place, or plantation, and the bridge on the Thunderbolt shell road, up on which the labor of the contrac tor with a large number of hands has been expended for the past two 'months, has been ruined and the whole work will have to be recom menced. Other sewers in process of construction have, been more or less damaged, involving a heavy ex pense in placing them in status quo. SPRINGFIELD PLANTATION, upon which so much time, money and skill has been spent, is com pletely under water, Its eutiro length and breadth, and has the ap pearance of a vast inland sea.— Ilouses situated upon it have been submerged, the waters rushing over it with the velocity of a mill-race, scarcely leaving time for the inhab itant’s, mostly negroes, to escape. Lamar’s field •and the adjacent lowlands, in the eastern part of the city, present a similar spectacle. The crops are all under water, and the Bilbo ca nal is overflowed its entire length from the shell road to the river.— What damage was done to private property in the shape of injury to crops planted, we have not been able yet to ascertain; but it must reach thousands of dollars. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD. At 4 o’clock yesterday morning it was discovered that the large ten foot culvert over Musgrove creek had given way, carrying with it the embankment for a distance of about pne hundrod and fifty feet, tho wa ter rushing through at a velocity of about six miles per hour. The break increased, and at 12 o’clock on yesterday nearly the whole cul vert had succumbed to the action of the.,furious waters. ; The imme diate cause of this break was the breaking of the. bank of. the Ogeo chee canal into the timber basin above the culvert, the dam of which giving way, caused the whole flood of waters to rush to the culvert, which unable to stand the pressure gave way, as also did the bridge on the Louisville road across the same creek. A large force from the Central railroad went speedily to the spot, and were put to work building a temporary foot bridge on the southern side of the road bed, with the view of cutting away the remaining portion of the culvert and relieving the embankment from the pressure of water against it. — The loss at this point is estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand dol lars. The break of course cut ml' communication by train with the depot, and necessitated the trails for of passengers and mails at this point, the arriving trains being the departing ones. CRICK YARDS. The brick yard of Hamlet & Bailey, situated on the canal, and also that of Swayne Roberts, suffering considerably, the loss of brick in the former being estimated at about fifteen hundred dollars. The saw mill of Butler «£'Hard! wick, situated at the foot of the Central Railroad bridge, was con siderably damaged. A portion of the will lipase was carried away, the engine was completely sub merged, and twenty cords of saw ed wood and twenty five of stick wood swept away by the Hood.— The damage done here is estimated at S4OO. At L ANTIC AN D GU LF BAI BTO AD. Although no damage has been done to the property of the Atlan tic and Gull Railroad in the inline diate vicinity of the city, the non arrival of the train suggested some-, thing wrong. It was found jhaji a serious break had occurred at the five-mile post, sweeping away the embankment rapidly for a consider able distance. Another break was reported some distance above, and at a late hour yesterday afternoon no tidings of the down train had been received, the telegraph being prosprated and no means of com municating beyond the first break. A large force of hands wnsdispatch ed to the cnlvert, and at '3 * o’clock p. ai. it was rendered passable, tho men working with an energy and vim highly commendable. Wheth er there are any other serious breaks beyond remains to be seen, THE SAVANNAH, SKIDAWAY.AND SEA- BOARD RAILROAD. i M. The damage done to this road has also been serious, entirely Stop ping the running of the trains for several days, it is supposed. The damage is from washing away of embankments, etc., though the ex act extent of the injury cannot at present be ascertained. THE STREETS, SQUARES, etc! The debris of fallen trees, limbs, etc., scattered all over the city, gives evidence of the force, ql the winds. Many trees have Been blown down and others, s6iiqusly injured. 7 ~... ... CKORS. , . _ The injury to the crops hasTbeen immense, as we stated. Those planted on Springfield plantation thA Lamar’s,' Lnwtoti’s and-other farms iu the low grounds east,, have been ruined, and are now entirely under water. • '*> The damage to the rice fcrop along the river, on the Ogeechce, etc., cannot yet be ascertained, al though we have seen a note from the Overseer to the planter Os an extensive plantation on the Savan nah river, giving a disastrous ac count of the action of the flood on the plantation under water, provisions and supplies des troyed, etc. Wo trust that the growing crop of rice will not be se riously injured. private property. It is impossible to enumerate the injury sustained to private property in the city Irorn the unroofing' of houses, blowing down of chimneys and fences, the overflowing of cel lars, etc. The large cotton warehouse, of Dr. Clark, on the corner of West Broad and Broughton streets, sixty by ninety feet, and just completed, is seriously damaged, the water in the cellar (which is the entire area of tho building) being even with the flooring. l)r. Clark estimates his damage at from SIO,OOO to 12,- 000. .. Altogether, this has been the most ruinous storm known ,in the history of Savannah for* many years. Fortunately lfp loss of life has occurred, as far as we have been able to learn, although several narrow escapes have come* to out knowledge, which we gb r e else where.—Savannah Republican , 20 German Catholicism. — A Na tionalChurciiPsoposed. A meet ing was held at Hcidelburg, on Sunday, to take measures for the foundation of a church in Germany. Forty delegates were present, com ing from various parts of Germa ny, Austria, and Switzerland. A' committee was appointed to draw up a constitution for the new church. Its main points will be the princi ples of the Council of Constance, 1314; subordination of the pope to the Council ; separation of church and state ; participation of laymen in the management of the church ; free election of bishops; communal election of pastors, arid’ a modifica tion of the confessional. The del egates are divided in opinion as to whether the church should acknowl edge the primacy of the Pope.— The committee were instructed to submit their report for ratification at a meeting to be field in Munich in September. The New York Sun and Grant. —The New York Sun says': “On the third of March, just before he ascended the Capitol steps to take the oath of office, General Grant accepted a gift of $64,000. On the fifth of March, with the pledges of his inaugural lingering on his lips r he appointed the largest contribu tor to this fund Secretaay of the Treasury, and the. two -jnpr&t.,active agents in raising it Sub Treasurer and Collector of the Customs at New York.”- As Americans, we blush to acknowledge the truth of the above, paragraph. No other President left such a record t6.jjark en and blast his fame. -i n, • . m - V-- -- -«■- ; - Iloney bees were mitted by mail from a distant point to Lancaster county, Pa., in an in genious manner. Four an inch in circumference eacf^.were bored with an auger in a block of wood six inches long, four inches wide, and one inch and a quarter thick. In each of these holes a queen bee and six males, the foun dation of a colony or hive, were confined by a wire screen placed over the aperaturc. At the Theater Comiqe, Cleve land, on Friday last. Captain Travis, the noted pistol shot, volunteered to shoot an apple, ala William Tell, from the head of Mr. Henry Miller. At the appointed time Mr. Miller took his neat at the farther end of the stage, Captain Travis being seated in a private box some twelve paces distant. lie took aim and the apple was pierced near the cen ter, but not stirred from the head of Mr. Miller. It is a fact not generally known that all the gold sent East from San Francisco now comes through the mail bags. It is put up in small bpx.es,weighing two or three pounds. In this way the cost of transporta tion is about one per cent, while the express campanies charged five.— One hundred thousand dollars thus passes daily through the Omaha Post Office. New York, Aug. 22.—Accounts from every part of the coast section report immense damage to the cot ton.and rice crops, especially cotton, from the recent heavy and-continu ous rains and -gales. Reports from the interior, on the other hand, rep resent cotton and corn to be suffer ing badly from the protracted drouth. The Rome Commercial says that llie gentlemen who came through the country from Colum bus to Rome in tho interest of the Railroad, informed thefn that the crops along the line, till within a few miles of Rome, were very fine. Foot hundred of the most distinguished people of Great Brit ain and the continent were present at the centenary celebration banquet in London, August 15, in honor of the memory of Walter Scott. The citizens of Cuthbert have vo ted upon, and almost Unanimously adopted, a subscription of $5,000 by the City Council to a High School. No better appropriation, nor one more creditable to the peo ple of Cuthbert, could have been made.— Columbus Knquirer.
