summer—Exlrnorilituirr Frcarj-rnlioit.
From the Loudon Post, Deo. £9.
Wc regret to announce a most tearful cat
astrophe Dy fire happening to the Sarah Sands
transport steamer, on her passage to India
from Portsmouth, with the headquarters and a
largo portion of the men of the 54th regiment
on Doard, whose preservation and that of the
crew may be fairly considered one of the most
marvellous on record, as may be inferred from
the fact that the ship was burning furiously
iu a heavy gale of wind sixteen hours, the
whole of her after part being burned out to a
shell. . ,. ,
Tho Sarah Sands is an iron ship, upwards
of 2,000 tons burden, and was formerly^ em
ployed in running from Liverpool to North
America. Sbo was chartered by the East
India Company for the conveyance of troops
to India; and on tho 10th of August she left
Portsmouth for Calcutta, under the command
of Captain J. S. Castle, with a’portion of the
74th regiment on board, comprising Lieuten
ant Colonel Hoffat, Captains Brett, Thomson
and Gillum; Lieutenants Galbraith, Hughes
and Croupe; Ensign Wood, Lieutenant and
Adjutant Houston, Surgeon Grant, Assistant
Surgeon Donovan, Quartermaster Hipkin
Paymaster Daniel, 21 sergeants, 15 corporals,
11 drummers, 300 rank and file, 8 women, 7
children, and a number of ladies, relatives of
the officers. Tho voyage appears to have
been favorable until the 11th of November,
when the ship had reached Iat. 14 S., long.56
E. (upwards of 400 miles from the Mauri
tius). About three o’clock iu the afternoon of
that day the troops berthed on the after or
top deck, noticed a smell of burning, which
npparcntly proceeded from beneath them in
the hold. It rapidly increasing, the alarm
was given to Captain Castle, who at once ord
ered the aftcrhold to be examined, and to the
astonishment, and indeed horror of all, the
cargo stowed there proved to be on fire. . It
was stated that the bulk of the cargo consist
ed of government stores. Bale after bale
was hauled up in the hope of getting at the
seat of the fire, but in a short time the smoke
became so dense as to defy any of the crew get
ting further into the hold, and filling the
whole of the cabins with the suffocating efflu
via forced the ladies to seek relief on the
quarter deck. By this time the outbreak be
came general throughout the ship, and as a
natural result much alarm was excited. There
was no confusion, however, and every order
was obeyed by tho men with coolness and
courage. The course of the ship was stopped.
Col. Moffat was seen in early consultation with
Captain Castle deciding upon measures for
suppressing the flames, while the crew were
actively employed in taking all sail in and
bringing the ship before the wind. Others
ran out lengths of hose from the fire engines
which were passed down to hands below, while
hose was also put on to the donkey engine.
It soon became apparent that all these exer
tions failed, in checking the progress of the
fire. Col. Moffat, at the suggestion of the
commander, directed his men to at once cast
over their amunition, and in a short time they
siicoeded in clearing out the starboard maga
zine. The remainder of the powder magazine,
however, excited great apprehensions. Al
ready had the after part of the ship become
almost impenetrable, from the dense smoke
and heat which filled every portion of it.—
The colonel appealed to his men for volunteers
to attempt to rescue the contents of the maga
zine now so threatened. Several brave fellows
instantly came forward, and heroically
cceded in reaching the magazine and clearing
it with the exception, it is supposed, of one or
two barrels. It was a truly hazardous work;
several nearly lost their lives; having become
overpowered with the smoke and heat, they
fell, and when hauled up by ropes to the deck
they were senseless. The flames soon after
wards burst up through the deck and running
along the various cabins, speedily set the
whole on fire. There was a heavy gale blow
ing at the time, and the ship rolling and pitch
ing. Captain Castle, perceiving the ex
tremely cntical position of the ship, at once
took measures for tbe safe lowering of the
boats. They were launched without the least
accident, and the troops were mustered on
deck. There was no rush to the boats, and
the men complied with their officers’ commands
with as much order as on parade. Colonel
Moffat informed them that Captain Castle did
not despair of losing the ship, but for their
own preservation it had been d eerned advis-,
able to keep the boats off so as to act in case
of imergency. The ladies, women and child
ren were lowered into the port lifeboat, and
site was directed to stand off until further
orders. All hands then turned to constructing
rafts of square spars. In a short time three
were put together, and which would have been
capable of saving a large portion of those on
board, and tlie third was left accross the deck
to be lowered at a moment’s notice. In the
meanwhile tbe flames had made terrible pro

The Panic ami ** lVolhuitf the Blat-
TEK."
Perhaps the reader may, in the course of
bis life, have found himself suddenly aroused
from slumber in the “ dead watch and mid
die of the night,” on board a crowded steam
er. In a state of half-a-sleep consciousness,
he has a vague impression of having been
aroused by a thump or crash of some kind
perhaps the steamer has struck a floating log
or carried away the jibboom of a venturesome
or sleepy coaster. At all events, lie compre
hends that 11 something has happened.” He
hears a hundred voices demanding “ what s
the matter ?” He hears a hundred shrieks of
alarm. He hears the steamer blowing fear
fully and knows that she has shut off. He
opens his door and sees his fellow passengers
runuing for their lives—tumbling over one
another and breaking their shins against the
chairs and tables, with one hand, it may be,
performing an indispensable peripatetic sort
of toilet, and the other grasping with equal
tenacity some remaining garments and a tin
“ life preserver.” He follows suit and gets
on deck in time enough to lcaru that “ noth
ing has happened,” and he may go back again
to his berth and the domain of Somnus.
Now this “ steamboat panic” is going to be
a ndt inapt illustration of the late financial
panic in its origin, effect, duration and termi
nation. The steamboat panic had its origin
in the conscious neighborhood of the elements
of danger in very active operation. Most
of the passengers were doubtless constantly
aware that they were going rapidly on the
high pressure” system, and the expansive
power of the steam might at any time prove
too great for the boilers. To this conscious
ness was also added an abiding sense of the
inability of the boat to withstand, externally,
a collision with any solid obstacle which it
might encounter at that furious speed, or, in
ternally, the explosive force of the mighty
giant which was driving it along. Thus a gen
eral, though unacknowledged, sense of in
security and danger existed as the foundation
for a panic upon the slightest occasion. Any
unusual occurrence or noise was enough to
create at once the most excited apprehension
and alarm.
Just this same uneasy apprehension of dan
ger existed at the time of the breaking out of
this panic, and has existed for years in regard
to the currency and financial and business
concerns of the country. Everybody seemed
to feel that we were on the “high pressure”
system all round. That credit was too much
strained—money too cheap—prices too high—
living too extravagant. Every body thought
revulsion would come sooner or later—might
come at any time, though they did not expect
The whole of tbe cabins, saloons, &c., were
ono body of fire; and about nine o’clock^ the
flames burst through the upper deck and igni
ted the mizen rigging. Through the fore
thought of Captain Castle, in bringing tbe ship
before tbe wind, the fire and smoke were swept
sternways, but serious anxiety was felt lest
tho ship should pay off, and so render her des
truction inevitable. Amidst this fearful sus
pense a dreadful explosion took place, no
doubt arising from one or two barrels left in
the port magazine, ffliich blew out the port-
quarter. All was consternation—the ship,
from the main-rigging to her stern, was in one
general body of lire. Captain Castle still had
hope, although ho expressed his fears to the
commanding officer of the troops that the ship
would be lost. Providentialfy the bulkhead
of the afterpart of the ship withstood the ac
tion of the flames. Here all efforts were con
tentrated to keep it cool. Party after party
of the troops volunteered for the work, and so
endeavored to prevent tho fire making its way
forward. As it was, several fell senseless
from the suffocating influence of the smoke,
and were dragged up apparently dead. With
the greatest honor to the troops they obeyed
the direction of their officers with a calmness
and energy*which were almost astounding, and
but for which the ship must have perished, and
doubtless many of the lives onboard with her.
For hours did this state of affairs continue.—
Although the men kept the fire at bay below,
it gained the main-rigging. Mr. Welch, the
chief officer, with several of the soldiers, at
ouce went aloft with wet blankets, and after
considerable peril and risk succeeded in ex-
tinguisliing the flames. As it was, however,
some of the yards were destroyd. Towards
two o’clock the following morning the men had
tbe satisfaction of seeing the fire diminishing,
but it only had the effect of inducing them to
continue their exertions with, if possible, al
most double energy. The flames were grad
ually beaten back, and by daylight was accom
plished their entire annihilation. It was not
till then that the fearful havoc made by the
fire was dearly ascertained. The afterpart of
tho ship was burnt out, merely its shell re
maining ; and now another fate threatened
her. The gale still prevailed, and the ship was
rolling and pitching in a heavy sea, constantly
shipping considerable water at the port-quar
ter, which had been blown out by the explo-
aion. She had fifteen feet of water in her
hold, and active steps had to be taken to pre
vent her foundering. All the men were set to
the pnmps and bailing water out of the hold.
Captain Castle, fearing that tli© stern would

it jusl then, and some old fogies wondered why
it had not come before. Furthermore, like
those on board the steamer, every body knew
their frail bank and thin blown credit craft
could not stand either collision or explosion.—
A bank writer and a distinguished Charleston
financier, in the “Courier,” wonders that any
body should complaiu of Bank suspensions,
because iu liis judgment, they are inevitably
incidental to and part of the banking system.
So they are, and the banks and their currency
must fail whenever a financial pinch comes;
and revulsions must come, because it is evi
dent, that a country with a vast foreign trade
like ours, cannot steadily sustain valuations in
flated by paper substitutes for money. They
are liable to be tested by the specie guage at
any time. Thus the business operations of
the country, under this system, are constant
ly in a felt, though it may be unacknowledged,
joepardy. The sword of Damocles hangs over
them. The credit pressure and speed togeth
er threaten constant immolation, and where
evco: botly is apprehensive of danger no great
occasion is required to make a panic.
This panic, therefore, like that on board the
steamer came without any adequate occasion.
Nobody could tell “wbat was the matter?”
Some assigned one thing and some another,
but no occasion was really apparent; at least
it has never been detected and satisfactorily
exposed. The existence of the panic, in truth,
must be traced back of any satisfactory occa
sion, to its real cause—a general feeling of
insecurity among the people. The people
know and feel that under this expansive and
expanding system, revulsions must and will
come. Steam boilers will explode and so will
the banks ; but though the former are a neces
sity of travel and the mechanic arts, there is
no necessity for the expansive and explosive
power of banks of issue.
Then as to the effects: the uproar, conster
nation and shin-breaking on the steamer may
typify the alarm, suspensions and failures of
the financial panic; and the final resolution of
all doubt and distraction in the simple excla
mation “Nothing's the matter," will illustrate
the end of this financial panic. Yes, it is at
last discovered that “nothing’s the matter!’
Wc have been panicked without occasion
or reason. Specie is accumulating at all
the important commercial points to the ex
tent of plethora—ten millions iu New Or
leans—thirty millions in New York—six
in Boston and so on, Banks and usurers
have more than they can satisfactorily invest
—produce is going forward in vast quantities
to swell their stores, and thus, finding that
‘nothing is the matter,” tho people are going
on with their suspended enterprizes and un
dertakings, just as the steamboat passengers
did their half completed naps. Wc think we
have made out the anology, and feel, at least,
quite sure of the fact that “nothing’s the mat.
ter,” and the panic is over for the present.
Let us proceed as before, but with due cou-
tion.

land, for the last seventeen years, makes the highest
rate seven shillings nine pence per week of sixty
hours, and the lowest rato four shillings eight pence
half penny per week of fifty eight hours. The av

Storm in New Orleans.—A tremendous blow
(almost a hurricane) occurred in New Orleans on
the 15th, which came on snddenly and lasted but a
voryjshort time. Fifteen ships were blown from their
moorings at tbe wharves, and some of tbem badly
damaged. Chimneys were blown down—houses un
roofed fences prostrated verandahs detached
from dwellings, and the lake end of the Poncliar
train Railroad was about one half destroyed.
Tlie mormons.—St. Louis, Jan. 19.—Later ad
vices from Utah say that the Mormons were not em

white t he leaders had cut off tho spring supply of
trains. Serious opposition to the U. S. is supposed
to be browing out in the Mormon plains.
Bx-President Fillmore.—Rumor says, “that
Mr. Fillmore is to make a second marriage. The
lady designated is a resident of Albany—“a widow
fair”—possessing in her own right, grace, fascina
tion and property.”
Southern Pacific Kailrond.—Mr. Brownlow,
of the “Knoxville Whig,” writes from Memphis
words of encouragement to those who have invested
money in this fancy stock. lie says the road will go
ahead—make money and pay large dividends.
Alabama.—Both branches of the Alabama Leg
islature have passed resolutions authorizing the Gov
ernor to call a Convention of the People in event of
the refusal of Congress to admit Kansas under a
slaveholdiug Constitution. A hill has also been in-
troduced appointing Commissioners, to uagotiate for
the cession of West Florida.
The Kalians Elections.—We hope to receive
final returns before going to press. Gov. Denver
and Mr. Calhoun, President of the Lecompton Con
vention, commenced on the 15th inst. an official can
vass of the rotes taken on the Slst December last,
under the schedule and ordinance of the Lecomp
ton Constitution. The following is their report
For the Constitution jritli the slavery clanse, C.0C3
For the Constitution without the clause, 57G
Starve tlie Juries.
The Augusta Constitutionalist notices a de
cision of the Supreme Court at Savannah, last
week, in the case of Lemuel Dwelle, Sr., vs
the Inferior Court of Richmond County, which
appeals to the stomachs of the Georgia petit
jurors. The case rose upon a claim of Dwelle,
hotel proprietor, for furnishing food and enter
tainment by direction of court to juries, while
sitting for some days upon important cases in
the Supreme Court of that County. Payment,
of the claim was refused by tho Inferior Court,
but upon argument of the case in tbe Superior
Court, Judge Holt decided that the bill must
be paid. From this decision appeal was taken,
peal and decided that, as refreshments were
not allowed at common laws, and our statutes
have made no change in the. common law on
the subject, refreshments cannot be supplied
at the public expense. Let jurors, therefore,
be forewarned and bring pockets or saddle
bags well stored with substantial “provent,”
lest they “hang” on a difficult case and starve
in the bargain. We have no doubt the Su
preme Court have fairly and justly expounded
the law as it stands, but it ought not to be per
mitted to stand so. The time for assailing
jurors through their digestive organs should
have passed away fifty years ago.
Total vote, 7,639
It was alleged that tho returns of votes taken upon
tho 4th, for State officers, hud not all been counted,
hut the following are the figures given :
DEMOCRATIC. FREE SOIL.
For Governor, - - - 6,530 I For Governor, - - - 6,238
" Rep. iu Congress, 6,566 j “ Rep. in Congress, 6,623
It will thus be seen that the largest vole polled in
this election, (that upon the Representatives in Con
gress) is still, so far. less than double that cast in fa-
vavor of tho Lecompton Constitution. The total
vote divided evenly is only 6,565, while tho vote in
favor of the Lecompton Constitution is 6,639.
Iflni-iac losses last year.—Under-writers' ta
bles show during the year just past no less than five
hundred and fifty eight vessels bound to or from U-
nited States ports, were lost at sea. Their value,
with that of cargoes lost, is estimated at $17,367,100.
The late Fresh.—We are sorry to see that the
Palaco Flouring Mills in Columbus sustained a good
deal of damage in the late Fresh, and it will require
two or three months time to . put them in running
order again.
Ocu. Mcolt to go to Californio.—Washington
gossip says that Gen. Scott is to go to California to
organize a military force there. This is doubtful,
as late accounts represented tlie administration to be
opposed to a military movement from tho Pacific
side of Utah. The approaches to Salt Lake City
from the Pacific side are, iiowever, said to be over a
level plain, entirely indefensible, while those from
the eastward are through mountain gorges difficult
to pass in tho face of determined opposition.
The Negro Race.—Bayard Taylor, writing from
Nubia, in Upper Egypt, says :
“Those friends of the African race who point to
Egypt as proof of what that race has accomplished
ate wholly mistaken. The only negro feature* re
presented in Egyptian sculpture, are those of slaves
and captives taken in Ethiopean wars of tho Pha
raohs. The temples and pyramids throughout Nu
bia, as far as the Daref and Abyssinia, all hear hi-
eroglyphy of monarebs, and there is no evidence in
all the Valley of the Nile that the negro race ever
attained a higher degree of civilization than is at.
present exhibited in Congo and Ashantee. I men
tion this, not from any feeling hostile, to that race,
but simply to controvert an opinion very prevalent
in some parts of the United States.”
Heavy Burglary.—The Jewelry store of Mr.
Jame3 Miller, in Milledgeville, was broken open last
week, and money and goods to the value of $16,000
stolen.
Electrotype Pearl*.—The Japanese are fa
mons for their elec’rotypo pearls, which are made
in the following way :
A quantity of oystera and muscles are collected
when their mouths arc forced open, and a copper
plate from J to J of an inch in diameter, bearing
stamped impression of the imago desired, is placed
within.JThe oyster is then replacod in the water,when)
they are allowed to remain from twelve to fifteen
months, during which time the oyster is irritated by
the copper plate, to alleviate which, a coating of
pearl is formed over the surface of it.
Retrenchment on the Slate Komi.—The
Rome Courier and Statesman says it is thought that
the yearly expenses of the State Poad can be re
duced $75,000 to $100,000 per annum, without ma
terially impairing its business facilities.
Col. JIoIiumiou, now commanding the Govern
meat forces m Utah, commenced his military career
as a participant in the Texas Revolution. Ho was
Adjutant General of the lamented Rusk, and shared
with him in tbe victory of San Jacinto. After the
Revolution he engaged in Agriculture, until lie was
appointed Secretary of War of tlie young Republic
During the war with Mexico, he volunteered as
private, his regiment, however, elected him Colonel,
in which capacity he served until the disbanding of
the regiment, by expiration of the term for which
it was received. Gen. Taylor then made him liis
Inspector Genera!, and as such he participated in the
conflict at Buena Vista. In 1855, when four new re
giments were raised, ho was appointed by Secrota
ary Davis, Col. of the Second Cavalry.
The Ice Crop.—The winter is pronounced so
far the greatest “failure” of the year. No “Merchant
able Ice” has yet been formed in those waters
whence tho New York and Boston Ice dealers are
accustomed to draw their annual supply, and thoy
talk about procuring stocks from Lake Champlain,
and the headwaters of the Connecticut River.
Native African Pavement.—Tho “Southern
Citizen,” on the authority of Rev. Leighton Wilson,
speaking of the use of skulls in the Domestic Archi
tecture of Dahomey, says:
What seems almost incredible to civilized and
Christian people,’ says Mr. Wilson, ‘wars were fre
quently waged for the express purposo of getting
human skulls to pave the courtyard and ornameut
tho walls of the palace.’ ”
For flooring, the skulls are set crown uppermost
and being very hard and thick, they make a fair
enough Russ pavement. Sot grinning round the
walls, teeth outwards, they are esteemed (albeit
somewhat prognathous) a rather tasteful cornice.
A point of Ortler.—A windy M. P., in a tedi
ous oration, stopped to imbibe a glass of water. "I
rise,” said Sheridan, “to a point of order.” Every
body started in wonder of what the point of order
were assembled, at the time, 500 pupils. In their
eagerness to escape, seven children were either
smothered or trampled to death! Many were only
saved by being thrown from tho windows and caught
in the arms of tho firemen and others. It was tho
finest School buildiDg in tho city, and was entirely
destroyed,
Feast or Famine.—In New York, money is
now begging borrowers (safe ones of course,) at 6
per cent., and in Boston at Jive. Three months ago
it was hard work to get money in either place at 4
per cent, per month. What is the cause, and what
the cure for such fluctuations as these ?
Something to the ercilit of Indians.—Mr.
Schoolcraft ssys that the Indians are never guilty of
profanity—no Indian tongue contains terms of pro
fanity, and they have no word to characterize the sin
of profane swearing.
New York Banks.—New York, Jan. 18. The 1 evinced of i t3
weekly statement of the city hanks shows the fol- an 16 e . 1 _ yo lt3 and its adant«6.. , fea: -
lowing totals: Loans increased $681.000; specie in
creased $1,034,ooo: circulation decreased $266,000
deposits, nominal increase $1,949,000
Novel Incendiarism.-A cow broke into a house
in Toledo, on Wednesday last, in the absence of the
family, and upset the stove, setting the house on fire.
The house was burned to the ground, and the cow
being unable to get out, perished in the flames.
Brunswick & Florida R. II-An annual meet
ing of the Stockholders of this company was held at
Waynesville, on the 18th, Col. Alexander McDonald
in tho chair and Jas. F. Kiug, Estjr., Secretary. The
President of the company, Mr. Henry G. Wheeler,
submitted his annual Report, and thereupon the
meeting
Resolved, That the exhibit of tho affairs of this
Company made by the President, is such as in the
judgment of this meeting to entitle the Road to the
confidence and support of the people of Southern
Georgia: that we recommend the Board of Directors
to call in installments on the stock subscribed, at
such times as they may think for the interest of the
company ; that we will render all the aid in our pow
er towards the immediate construction of the Road,
and that we earnestly call upon its friends to aid to
the extent oftheir ability, by additional subscriptions
to its stock.
Appointments by the Governor.—Rev. Jesse
H. Campbell, of Spaulding, Wm. Edwards of Ogle
thorpe and Wm. Johnson, of Floyd, Commissioners
for the Deaf and Dumb Assylum in tlie place of J.
H. Lumpkin, H. Fielder and P. W. McDaniel who de
cline to act.
Another Emigration Aid Society.—The Cen-
tral American emigration company has organized in
Washington city. A New York capitalist has been
chosen President. This is one of the fruits of tho
speech of Eli Thayer, who is active in furthering tho
objects of the company.
Committee on the 887,000.—The special
committeeappointed to investigate this matter, con
sists of Messrs. Stanton, republican, of Ohio, chair'
man; Moore, democrat, of Alabama; Kunkel, re
publican, of Pennsylvania; Wright, democrat, of
Georgia; and Russell, democrat, of New York. They
were to organize and proceed immediately with the
investigation.
Two Kansas Legislature* in 8c«aion.—
Dates from Lawrence, of the 8th, announce the re
assembling of the Topeka Legislature—its organiza
tion—receipt of a Message from Gov. Robinson, and
subsequent a i jaurnment to meet at Lawrence, where
both tlie Territorial and Topeka Legislatures were
then in session.
and the Supreme Court have sustained'the ap- was - “What is it J" said the speaker. “I think,
fir,” said Sheridan, “it is out of order fer a wind
mill to go by water.
.Sermon on the ITIouut—A traveller in Pales
tine says that not far from the probable site where
the sermon on the Mount was delivered, our guide
plucked two flowers, supposed to be of that species
to which our Lord alluded when he said: “Consider
the lilies of the field.” Tho calyx of this lily resem
bles crimson velvet, and tho gorgeous flower was of
white and lilac, and truly no earthly monarch could
have been “arrayed” more gloriously tlian ono of
these. Such is the testimony of nature to tho words
spoken by our Lord.
Another School IIoii.u 1 Cntnxlrophc.—Seve-
Cbildrcn trampled to death.—la Brooklyn, last Tues
day, a fire broke out in a public School House, Cor
ner of Concord and Navy streets, in which there
Clicrokej) Rnpiist College.—The Cassville
Standard says, that the Cherokee Baptist College, at
Cassville, commenced its exercises on the 11th inst.,
with quite a respectable number of students in at
tendance. The faculty is now complete, and all at
their posts.
Getting Rctter.—An exchange says, the Turks
consider that their Sultan has made a great approach
to European customs, because he has reduced the
number of ladies in his harem from oi^ thousand to
only three hundred and fifty!
All Flesh i» Grass.—The Gonzales (Texas) In
quirer says, the Grasshoppers, having about comple
ted the work of destruction to vegetation, have, can
nibal like, fallen to work devouring each other—at
least, they seem to be dying off very fast, whenever
there is a dead one, there are half-a-dozen live ones
around it eating it up.
Mr. Forsyth.—The N. Y. Courier Jc Enquirer,
says that tho Hon. John Forsyth, our Minister in
Mexico, is ordered home to explain himself.—The
President has a catalogue of reasons for desiring to
soe 51 r. Forsyth rather than to hear by every mail
and through all the foreign legations of liis being in
Mexico. But perhaps the strongest is that Mr. F.
not only opposed Benjamin & La Sere in their Te
huantepec speculations, hut turned aside to aidSIoo
Soule. There are many applicants for this mission
which is a much coveted berth.
8nvanunh Cotton Market.—The Republican’s
quotations for Friday were

Temprrnnce Crnsndcr, Penfield, is “more than
happy to announce that Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, ot
Thomasville, has accepted the position of associate
Editress of this paper, and will conduct the lady’s de
partment. She is a writer of the very first order of
talent, as her popular contributions to various pa
pers in this State amply testify.”
Georgia Cnivcrsiiy.—The Ath* ns Banner an
nounces that the exercises of this Institution were
resumed on the 16th. That paper says :—All the
Professors are hero, occupying their respective
chairs. On account of the late inclement weather
seme of the old students have not yet returned. We
learn, however, that they are coming in by every
train,and that applicants for admission me being
examined every day. We think the prospect for a
large number of students very cheering, and tho af
fairs of the college brighter generally. With an ex
perienced and learned President, and a full corps of
energetic and enlightened Professors, we think old
Franklin is bound to go through.
The PresitlcufH Message in Pari*.— The
President’s Message was published in full by all the
Parisian journals. It was telegraphed through from
Liverpool to Paris in five hours anda half—the same
time it was required to telegraph it to London. But
the two copieB came over different wires, and while
thqcopy was sent to London in English, that to Paris
was in French. This fact shows the importance given
toNhe message. The comments of tho press upon
this document are various.
Fact* in Human Eifc—The number of lan
guages spoken is 3,074. The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The average of hu
man life is about 33 years. One-quarter die before
the age of seven, one-half before the age of seven
teen. To every 1,000 persons, one only reaches 100
years. To every 100 only 6 roach 65 years, and not
more than ono in 500 reaches the ago of 80 years.
There are on earth 1,000,000,000 of inliabifaets. Of
these 33,333,333 die every year, 91,824 die every
day, 7,780 every hour, and 60 every minute, or 1 ev
ery second.
“Jim Lanr.”—Tho Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, avers that the
administration is in possession of proof conclusive
that Col. “Jim Lane,” of Kansas notoriety, is in trea
sonable collision with the Mormons. The exact
character of their information is not publicly known;
but the impression is, that an express between Brig
ham Young and Lane has men intercepted on the
Plains of the United States forces.
Domestic Cotton Markets,—In Neic York, on
Tuesday and Saturday, the Cotton Market was hea
vy—the sales of both day* footing up only 1,000
bales. Middling Uplands were quofed at 10). In
JYcm- Orleans the saies of the 21st were 7,000 hales—
lower qualities declined a quarter cent, hut mid
dlings remained unchanged. The sales of the 22d
also footed up about 7,000 bales with a slight de
cline on all qualities. Middling qnote l at 9) to 9)
cents. In Savannah, on Saturday, tho sales were
COO bales at 10) to lt cents. Prices unenanged and
a good enquiry. In Augusta, samo day, very little
doing—parties waiting the steamer.
