Later despatches saV: “The American Colonization Society, has offered to take tho captured Africans on landing in Liberia, and for $50,000 keep them one year and learn them industrial pursuits. It is probable the government will accept tho proposition.” According tho official report made up to Saturday night, there were seventy-three deaths in Charleston, last week, from yellow fever.

Mr. Benjamin is now iu the South, and it is not known if he will accept. Lieutenant Pogram, who will be remember ed by his daring conflicts with pirates in the East Indies during tho Japan expedition, is appointed to the command of the steamer Water Witch, of the Paraguay fleet. It is in tended that this expedition shall begotten up so that tho effect will he of the best possible kind upon all the South American States.— To this end Secretary Toucey desires to send out fourteen steamers at least, twclveof which shall be capable of ascending the river to As cension. Some nine or ten of these will be chartered vessels, originally builtfor commer cial purposes, and will be thus indicative of our policy-. Though our business is trading, yet the same instruments which lend facility to our transactions can at once be changed into weapons of protection and defence. Efforts are now being made to get the Post Office Departments to urge upon Congress such action at the coming session as will show what the franking privilege costs the depart ment. It is proposed that the Postmasters of Congress buy stamps of the department for the prepayment of all free matter outward, and that correspondents of members pay their own postage inward. By this method one or two sessions will show whether the enor mous deficit arises from tho inadequacy of the present rates of postage to meet the expenses of the transmission of tho people’s corres pondence, or from the transportation of some thing like one hundred thousand tons of free matter each Congress. TERRIBLE RIOT. New York, Sept. 3.— On Wednesday night a mob, numbering about 1,000 men attacked and destroyed by fire a portion of the Quar antine buildings on Staton Island, and the re mainder, including cottages and fine dwellings of tho Health Officers were burned by incen diaries on Thursday night.

The Coming Sugar Ciior Contracts.—Su gars are beginning to enjoy here a favor that not only reveals the immense change in our commercial situation during the last few months, but also great hopes and confidence in the future. According to reliable informa tion, there were concluded yesterday con tracts for the produce of the coming sugar crop of San Jose and Santo Domingo, assort ment and class, as they arrive in market, at the price of $25 per box of sixteen arrobes. — The crops comprised in this transaction are calculated at over 7,000 boxes. Besides, we know that for other large crops of sugars there was offered the same price, but tho selling party has higher pretensions.— The same happens relative to sugars made in common trains; for as to those proceeding from the Derosne apparatus, we know also that offers were made corresponding to thoir better quality. For sugars of inferior quality operations arc mentioned, but we are positively informed that there are many who desire to make con tracts at eight reals—a price till the present not accept'ed by the sellers. Molasses docs not enjoy the same favor: no operations arc spoken of for the next crop, which perhaps is due to the news of the abun dance of corn in Europe, and for the same rea son the future of rum lias small chances. Mrs. Adeline Armer, of Coffee county, Ala., offers a reward of two hundred dollars for the dered her husband, Richard IV., and l.er son Richard N. Armer, in that county, on the 20tli of August. She thus describes him : Description. — Said Taylor is about 0 feet high, spare built, weighs about 140 pounds, rather dark complected and sallow, black hair, yellow or hazel eyed, and usually wears very long board, which is very dark about 30yoars of age. THE GOOD TIME ALMOST COME. By a poster we notice that a meeting of Spiritualists or Unionists is to he hidden at “Magnetic Springs,” in Chautauque county, N. Y., on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, of Sep tember, to discuss tho following sublime sub jects: Ist. The groat wants of the present ago. 2d. The noed of a greater degree of Freedom. 3d. The purposes and plans of the Spirit-world. 4th. A Divine Commerce.— sth. Tho homes of tho future. oth. Regener ation and generation, and 7tli. The culture of the soil. The meeting is to ho held in a grove, and able speakers arc expoctod from Boston, Now York, Cleavcland and Chicago. The pos ter is signed by J. M. Sterling and T. S. Sheldon. Tlic field of debate is a mighty one, divided into seven heads, and each head has at least seven horns, and on each horn hangs at least ono dilemma. The meeting laid hotter adopt the plan of tho speaker we read of, who divi ded his discourse into three parts : the World, tho Flesh, and the Devil, hut owing to want of time to fully discuss the throe parts, be said lie should merely glance at the World, take a touch at the Flesh, and hurry ou to the Devil, — Cleveland Herald THE RIGHT FEELING TOUCHED. We are glad to find so many of our exchan ges deeply regretting the legal necessity which seems to require the return of the three hun dred captured Africans to thoir native coun try again.il their will, aud at tho same time protesting agaiust their return from a South ern port being taken as an imputati.ff upon tho righteousness of a Southern domestic in stitution. It needs but the application of a lit tle reason to this instinctive feeling of hu manity and self-respect, to lead them to protest also against the coutinuanceoflaws which cre ate this necessity. We are not sufficiently cunning as a casuist to deplore the necessity iu this particular case, as inhuman and de rogatory to our institutions, and at the same time to justify tho laws that have brought it about. The Africans strongly desire to remain in this country ; they say tiiat bondage and mis ery await them if sent hack to Africa; and they are willing to exchange even promised liberty—the liberty and advantages of wild beasts —in Africa for slavery and comfort in America. All accounts concur in thus roport ing their expressions. They are doubtless now comfortable more than ever before in their lives; they rejoice in clothing for limbs unac customed to such protection; they delight iu an abundance pf cooked bcof or bacon and rice, in exchange for a scanty supply of filthy raw meats and roots in thoir native land ; and they have confidence to believe that in this country they would find strong protec tors to take care of them in sickness or in health, and to shield them from barbarity and want, while in Africa they have always laid to struggle with privation and starvation, and been left naked anil defenceless to the assaults of many foes. But they know full well that neither liberty nor protection awaits them if returned to Africa—that they will be still tlio slaves of petty princes or hopeless captives of merciless war. There are at the same time hundreds of ho mano Southern men, who desire to take tnese rude Africans and provide for thoir comfort and improvement. Christianity, as well as humanity, pleads against their return ; and when to these appeals are added the entreaties of the negroes themselves, the laws which outrage all these considerations must be re garded as enactments for tho physical and moral enslavement of these poor creatures, rather than measures for the promotion of ra tional and enlightened freedom. —Columbus Enquirer. From tho Savannah Republican. POPULA3 EDUCATION. “Our exchanges, and private parties, inform us that T. R. R. Cold), Esq., is advocating in the various courts in which ho practices tho sale of the Stato Road and the application of a large portion of its proceeds to the promo tion of I’ublie School Education in this State, and tho endowment of the University ofGeor gia.” —Atlanta American. The friends of tho public school system may not all agree with Mr. Cobb in his advocacy of the sale of the State Road, but they will hail, with no little pleasure, the entrance upon the field of so able and influential an advocate of popular education. That there is an awakening, at tho South, on the subject of education, no one will ques tion who has observed the progress of events during the past ten or twelve years. Tho thought is fast taking hold of tho public mind, that to provide for the education of the peo ple is gernmin to the general purposes for which governments are established, and iu a large number of our States, there are educa tional departments in the public service.— At the last meeting of the Georgia Legisla ture, a bill was introduced to provide for the education of the youth of the State in the rudiments of an English education, arid to create and establish a Superintendent of pub lie schools. Tlio following synopsis of tlio provisions of the bill is taken from the Augusta Constitu tionalist : “All the present poor school fund and ono half of the net earnings of tho State Road, shall constitute tho common school fund.— The Tfibasurer of the State shall apportion this sum among tho different counties, ats cording to the number of returned freo white children between eight and eighteen years.— The Governor shall appoint a Superintendent of Public Schools to hold office two years.— The Superintendent shall visit the various counties and make all necessary provisions for the practical working of tlio system. At tiie election for county officers, two commis sioners shall ho elected from each county, who, with the Ordinary, shall be a body cor porate to superintend education in their coun ties. These county Boards of education shall attend to all business, and report annually to tho Superintendent asto the number of schools in their counties, the highest, lowest, and average number of children attending them, the length of the continuance of the schools and the amount of money received. The Justices of the Inferior Court are au thorized to levy a tax for school purposes, not less than one-half of the estimated amount duo that county from the common fund.— The hoard, on or before the first of January, shall draw on tho Treasury for the distribu table share of the county, to he divided ac cording tetßo number of pupils in each school. This act'sliall not preclude a school which is kept a part of tho year as a common school from being kept the balance of the year as a select or private school, to which no one but a contributor may have the privilege of send ing pupils.” This bill, for want of timo was not acted on ; hut it is to he hoped that tlio.se friends of popular education who have put to their hands to the plough, will not look hack till something has been done to make broader the foundation and to raise higher the stand ard of education in Georgia. Let them perse vere and success will b? certain ; and their reward enduring nnVl enviable—more lasting than marble —more imposing than honors.— A system of public schools adapted to our condition—-judiciously introduced, and effec tively prosecuted—would, in a few years, by elevating the masses to thenoblestand purest of all enjoyments—intelligence and excellence, contentment and refinement, make Georgia, among the States of tho South, first in educa tional advantages, as she is now first in railway facilities. Georgia. CLEANSING COTTON SEED. An intelligent correspondent (says tho Washington Union,) residing at Antwerp, writes under date of May l'Jtli, 1858, that a machine for cleansing cotton seed has lately been invented, and is now in operation in that city. From two to three tons of seed can ho cleansed per day by a machine of four horse power, with the. assistance of three persons. The cotton surrounding the seed is taken clean off, and can he soldtocarpet manufactu rers and paper maker at from thirty to fifty francs the one hundred kilogrammes. After the oil is pressed out, theoakos remaining can he sold for the same price as other cakes ‘ of oleaginous seeds. Tho cost of tho machinery is said not to he expensive. This is an im portant invention, and promises to he cf in calculable advantage to oottou buyers. TRIAL OF THE BTEAH FIRE ENGINEB. Boston, Aug. 31.—The trial of steam fire engines to-day on Boston Common was at tended by thousands, including Governor Banks aud other distinguished men. Four machines were present,— tho Philadelphia, from Philadelphia ; tho Elisha Smith, of East Boston ; the Lawrence, from Lawrenco, Mass.; and the New Era, of Boston. The Philadel phia made tho first trial, as follows :—Filled a tank of twenty-six hundred gallons iu eight minutes twenty-nine seconds, and threw a horizontal stream of ono hundred aud sixty three feet, aud a perpendicular one of one Uuudrod an 1 ton feet; raised steam in eleven minutes eight seconds. Tito length of the hose, used by all, was two hundred feet. The Elisha Smith filled tho tauk in eight miuutos tiventy-fivo seconds, and throw a horizontal stream of one hundred and forty foot, and aperpendicularonoof ono hundred aud twen ty-five feet; raised steam in thirteen minutes and fifty-one seconds. Tho Lawrence machine was withdrawn onaccountof breaking a small bolt, soon after firing up. Tho proceedings then were adjourned till half-past 2 o’clock. The afternoon trials commenced with that of the New Era, of Boston, which resulted as follows : Filled tho tank in 7m. 32J5.; play ed a horizontal stream 135 foot and a per pendicular ono 90 feet; raisod steam iu 18m. 21s. jjTlic Lawrenco then had a trial, resulting as follows : Filled the tank in Bm. 355.; played a horizontal stream 1541 feet anil a perpen dicular one 110 foot; raised steam in 10J min utes. A Minister’s Walk and Conversation.— The editor of the N. C. B csbyterinn, who is at the Virginia Springs, \ has heard a good story of speaker Orr and4ho Rev. Dr. AY., of Lexington. Not long since, the story goes, they were both at the warm springs, and met in a public room of tho Hotel. They had been sitting with other company, and after awhile the Dr. rose and walked across the room with the usual limp in iiis gait. Mr. Orr immediately recognized him, and asked if he were not the Chaplain of the University of Virginia at such a time, naming the year. The Dr. replied that he was. “I was there,” said Mr. Orr, “a student, at tho University, and I knew you by your iiinp.” “Well,” said the Dr., “it seems my limiting made a deeper impression on you than my preaching.” The joke placed Mr. Orr in an awkward pre dicament, and most men would have been un able to extricate themselves, but lie replied with ready wit: “Ah, Dr., it is tho highest compliment we can pay a minister to say lie is known by his walk rather than by his con versation.” SpringsLife.—Theeditor of tho Fredrieks burg Nows, writing one of his lively letters from the Greenbrier Whito Sulphur, draws it (rather strong, we fear,)as follows : “Hero we are, a community of seventeen hundred, nobody working, all well dressed, with nothing to do but to enjoy themselves— all rich apparently, anil by reputation!— Would you believe that a man came here to find a poor girl for a wife and couldn’t find one? They are all wealthy aristocrats.— One lady was here for two weeks, who nore throe different drosses every day, and left be cause her other trunk had not arrived and she would have to wear a dress a second time. To see five thousand dollars worth of ilimonds, lace, Ac., on one lady at a ball, is not consid ered remarkable.” COMMERCIAL. (iaiFFUf, Sept. 8, 1858.
