Damage to the Trlbokaph Line.— I The freshet on the Susquehanna, caused by the late rains, has greatly damaged the telegraph be tween this city and Philadelphia. In the vi- t entity of Havre dc Grace, tkc poles planted along the bank of the river were washed out of the ground by the water, and some of them carried away. The wires that crossed the Susquehanna,by means -of the bridge at Havre dc Grace, were broken down by the force of the wind, and most of the cord lost. The most strenuous efforts are now making to repair the damage, in order to resume operations to-day, but the extent of the break renders it doubt ful. „ The Western line has also suffered by the violence of the stonm. and an extensive break is reported between Chambersburg and Pitts burg. Workmen are now employed in repair ing the damage, and they may succeed in ac complishing their task, in order to resume to day.—Balftmore Sun, 1 Zth inst. 3, uqnsta, Georgia, TUESDAY MOHNIWG, OCT. 19 tggf We received no papers by last eve ning's mail from offices north of Baltimore. — To the attention of our correspondent, the Charleston Courier, we are indebted a slip con taining advices from New York to 14th inst. j brought to that port by the steamer Narragan- | sett. We would call the attention of our I Merchants, and of dealers in the interior, to the advertisements of Mr. M. C. Mordecai, Auc tioneer, Charleston. regret to learn from the Baltimore Sun, of the 14th inst., that Mrs. Polk, the amiable lady of the President, was severely in disposed, on the 11th inst., but on the 12th she was better, and considered out of danger. The President, we learn from the same soruco, is restored to his usual health, and is again able to preside over the deliberations of his Cabinet. The Charleston papers of Monday, an nounce the death of Mrs. Mary S. Palmer, re lict of the late Rev. Benj. M. Palmer, whose death we noticed a few days ago. etake pleasure in copying the follow- I ing editorial from the Chronicle $ Sentinel, with the communication to which it refers. Wc hope it may not be without its influence. The subject is not a new one to this commu nity. Several years ago a charter was applied for to the Legislature, with a view to the es tablishment of a direct Importation Wholesale House, in this City, with a capital of one hun dred thousand dollars. Had it gone into ope ration, the object suggested by the Chronicle's correspondent would have been answered. But the application was defeated, partly through the opposition of the Chatham delegation. The effort has not since been renewed. We are not very partial to charters and spe cial privileges, and believe that the reasons should be very powerful, to induce a Legisla ture to grant them to any set of individuals, and then they should be jealously hedged in with restrictions. But the limited co-partner ship law, passed a few sessions back, would I probably answer the purpose quite as well as a Charter, and be free from ail objections. Augusta Interests- We would call attention to the suggestion j nf our correspondent, which is found below.— j It is evident at once, that the grocery interest in tins city, is far more prosperous than that of the dry goods merchant. The reason why a larger amount of capital is engaged in the former than the latter business is obvious at first view, but the great disparity cannot be accounted for, but from the want of such a wholesale market in dry goods as will command the attention and meet the demands of the in terior country. We do not pretend to great fami liarity with mercantile interests, and make any suggestion iu regard to them with due de ference to those more especially interested, and better qualified to judge of such matters. - It would seem to us that Augusta ought to he a much larger and more prosperous place than it is. Wc have Railroads penetrating the interior more than two hundred and fifty miles. The range of business connections is, there fore, sufficiently extensive to authorize large transactions in the dry goods business, not only by retail but by wholesale. Why is such not the case? Nothing is wanting to effect this very desira ble change but such a capital as our correspon dent refers to, judiciously used, and applied not so much with the view of heavy profits as to effect the change ol the required trade. — There can be no question that, as a general rule, the mercantile interests of any place are promoted by sales which afford but reasonable profits. The country soon finds out that pri ces are only not exorbitant, but reasonable, and is thus induced to visit such a market from self-interest. While our merchants now sell upon such terms, a firm of the kind referred to, will attract the attention of country and interior merchants, and every interest, large ■ and small, will reap the benefits of the increas- ■ ed business which would be brought to the city. Such a firm would induce merchants, with in convenient distance, to get their stocks here, if they could do as well as in more distant towns and at the North. This would induce an examination into the stocks of smaller hou ses, and a more general and extensive busi ness for all, would be the natural and neces sary consequence. None arc more interested in this matter than the owners of real estate, and they would find it greatly to their advantage to see it put into successful operation. It is obviously to their interests, for capital not only not to decrease, but to be enlarged in all the productive departments of trade and business. This will bring their tenements in demand and at more profitable rents. Our position denies us some of the advanta ges enjoyed by seaport towns, But Railroads and Rivers have diminished the superiority of the latter, and by energy and action we can di minish them to a still greater degree. Will the effort then be made, with earnestness and zeal, to carry out this desirable enterprise? We have not the leat doubt that Augusta will become a great manufacturing town. Tnat business has commenced, and the facilities for trade, in all the fabrics of cotton and wool, will add immensely to the wealth of the place and to its population. Let this new exiterprise then go on simultaneously with the erection of fac tories and merchant mills, thus affording in ducements for the people of the interior to trade largely here, and keep within their own State hundreds of thousands of dollars, which have heretofore gone abroad. We have said thus much prefatory to the in troduction of the following suggestions to the people of our town, and we conclude by inviting attention to the subject, and communi cations also, from those whose famjlarity with I'l lii- I it will enable them to urge it with persuasive arguments and infincntial statistics. To the Editors of the Chronicle and Sentinel. Gentlemen:—Allow* me through the medi um of your paper, to suggest to the capitalists of this city, the actual necessity of establishing a firm of two or three active business men, with a capital of seventy-five to one hundred thous and dollars, for the purpose of transacting a general Dry Goods business. This is a matter of vast importance to the interests of Augusta, and should receive prompt attention. I under stand that a gentleman of Carolina has stated that he will subscribe twenty thousand dollars towards the object. The proportion of capital employed in the Dry Goods department of the trade of this city is far too small. There are now twenty Dry Goods houses in this place, and the total amount of sales does not, I be lieve, exceed five hundred thousand dollars, while the Grocers employ six times as much capital in their regular trade. * More Huia- The amount of tolls received on the New York State Canals up to the 7th Oct,, inclu sive, exceeds by $32,672 77 the entire receipts of 1846. The increase in the commerce of New York, alone, under the Democratic Tariff of 1846, in ! ten months, on Imports, is twenty-six ynillion ; four hundred and fifty-four thousand four him - I dred and sixty-five dollars. The increase in Ex pokts is, eighteen million four hundred and for ty-four thousand fve hundred and ninety-three ; dollars ! r l his is what the whig* call Such ruin, in our opinion, will never injure whigs, i and there is every prospect that it will benefit some few democrats. The Daily Telegraph- We received by last evening’s mail the first I number of a neat little sheet, just started at Columbia, S. C., by Messrs. Edward Sill, and John Stubbs, under the above title. It is neat ly printed, and the publishers have our best wishes for their success. Departure of Troop*. The ship Orphan, it was thought, w'ould leave Charleston yesterday with 275 troops on board for the 12th and 13th Regiments of In fantry. These troops have been in quarters at Fort Moultrie, and consist mostly of new re cruits to fill up the above Regiments. Pennsylvania- Tbo returns from this State, so far as regards the Governor, are truly gratifying to every Democrat, and more so when it is understood the issue of the Tariffs of 1842 and 1846 was made by them. In the 25 counties given below, it will be seen that the gain of Governor Shunk, as compared with the Governor’s elec tion of 1844, when he was elected over Mar kle, (Whig) by a majority of 3.835, is 10,418, he having a majority this year of 9,104, where the majority of Markle, (Whig) in 1844 was 1,314. As regards the Legislature, the returns re ceived are so incomplete, that we can form no , idea of what its complexion will be. Governor 1817. Governor 1844. Shunk, D. Irvin, \V. Shunk, D. Markh-.VV.

Oct. 13.— Cotton. —Our la st review, on Wednesday last, left the market quiet, owing ; in a great measure to a disinclination on the part of buyers to operate at the prices then claimed by } j holders. The quotations we then gave—Hlj a 10£ J cents for middlings—were stated as nearly nomi- 1 i nal, so little was there really doing. This’state of | things continued during the first tour days of our ; commercial week- —the sales not exceeding 230 to | i 300 bales a day, and these made up of small par- j | cels to complete orders, for which about the prices ; of last week were paid. By Sunday’s mail, we were placed in the possession of the foreign ad ; vices by the Hibernia, at Boston, to the 19th ult. fifteen days later than before received—which are of a most discouraging character. This disheart ening intelligence had the elFect of suddenly stop ping all operations in this market, and, since its re ception, we cannot hear ihat a single bale of cot- | lon has been sold. Buyers were looking about j some yesterday', and we hear of a few small lots I beingoffered at decline, but, even at this rate, j there was no disposition on the part of buyers to j operate. All parties seem to be waiting for the ; development of the eflect of the news on the New i Orleans and New York markets, and, by common consent, conclude to “hold off” for the present. — I Another cause of the indisposition of buyers to | enter the market, is. the impossibility of making | freight engagements, in this slate of affairs it I would be absurd to attempt to give quotations, and we therefore omit them altogether. The new crop is beginning to come in quite free ly, aud although some little improvement in the quality is manifest, it is still of a very indifferent character. In relation to the growing crop, we have had but little information since oar last. The weather has I been as propitious as could be desired, and must exert a most favorable influence. The receipts of the week have been 3278 ba3es, the exports 1773 bales, and the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared last evening was 17,897 bales, against 8,023 bales same time last year.
