Italy.—Drought at Naples. —Letters
from Naples announce that the extreme
heat had entirely dried up the country
parts. The peasants could find no water
for their cattle, which were perishing of
thirst, and making the air resound with
their cries. The shepherds saw their
sheep dying daily before their eyes for
want ot pasturage. The government
was occupied in despatching water to the
districts which suffered most from the
drought, at a certain rate of quantity per
family. In some parts of the country
water was sold at the price of wine.
The capital alone was exempt from the
sufferings of this extraordinary drought,
which had already led to tumultuous
movements among the people. A vulgar
opinion had spread that Mount Vesuvius
had dried up all the water in the country
surrounding it. The volcano was emit
ting neither fire nor smoke, and this gave
rise to the fear of a sudden and horrible
eruption. It was stated that the volcano
was throwing up from lime to time quan
tities of boiling water.
Spain. —lsabella, Queen of Spain, was
born at Madrid on the 10th of October,
1830, and is therefore almost 16 years
old. Her royal sister was born on the
30lh of January, 1832, and is, therefore,
almost 15. They are both “o’er young
to marry yet,” but married they are about
to be. 7'he husband selected for her
Majesty is her cousin, Don Francisco de
Assise, born on the 13th May, 1822 —
therefore, 24 years of age; and the ap
pointment for Dcnna Maria-Louisa Per
dinandi is the son of Louis Philippe, the
Duke of Montpensier, horn at Neuilly on
the 31st of July, 1824, and, therefore, 22
years old. The wooing lias been right
royal—that is, very repulsive. Her lit
tle majesty hates her brotherhood; and
the arguments of a w hole night, and all
the eloquence of her mother and minis
ters, failed to overcome her reluctance.
Rhetoric being unsuccessful, recourse
was had to threats, and on being told that
if she did not accept the ugly cousin, she
never should marry any one! the distant
prospect of lire paradise of old maids,
wrought the political and affectionate
change desired, and the loving pair
plighted their troth, and now wait only
the sanction of Rome to violate one of the
canons of the church, and become man
and wife. The bridegroom was so happy
that he betook himself to bed, and did not
rise until kind words and vigorous medi
cine restored him to the feelings of a
• • i °
situation so happy.
The marriage of the Due de Montpen.
sier with the lufanla Donna Louisa was
to be solemnised on the 24th September.
Russia. —An imperial ordonnance of
the Emperor Nicholas was published at
Warsaw on the 2Gth ult., commanding
that, in future, those peasants who culti
vate at least three acres of land, shall, as
long as they fulfil their duties to their
landlords, enjoy the free use of their land,
nor shall their landlords increase their
burdens. The peasants shall, moreover,
be at liberty to quit their landlords on
giving three months notice.
New Zealand. —The Sydney Herald
ot the 4th of May, alluding to the latest
advices from New Zealand, publishes tho
following paragraph: “We have Auck
land papers to the 11th of April. All
was quiet in the northern portions of the
colony, although it appears to be beyond
a doubt that Held is still endeavoring to
c*
form a coalition among the native chiefs,
for the purpose of renewing hostilities.
There was a report brought in by the na
tives, and therefore not much to be de
pended upon, that a skirmish had taken
place in the neighborhood of Port Nich
olson, between the troops and natives, in
which the latter had suffered severely.
Many of the old settlers had returned to
the Bay of Islands.”
Morocco. —The Akbaik, Algiers jour
nal, of the 2d inst., states that the last
accounts from Oran had created appre
hensions for the maintenance of peace
on the frontier of Morocco. Alarming
reports were in circulation as to the in
fluence acquired by Abd el-Kader in the
East of that country. He is said to have
approached Taza, and to have conspired
openly against the Emperor. He has in
deed excited so much of the sympathy of
the fanatical subjects of Morocco as to
place their ruler in a very embarrassing
position; and as he seems unwilling to
attack the champion of the holy war in
his present strong-hold, another French
expedition appears to be inevitable.
Alexandria, August 30.—A Mussul
man fanatic, named Fuckee Ismail, who
has for some time been collecting a half
armed rabble, amounting to 5,500 men,
had made an attack on the outworks at
Aden, but was repulsed with loss. The
Arabs, were congregated in great masses
in the vicinity of the town. Our (the
British) troops were fully prepared to
give them a warm reception. His high
ness Mehemet Ali, who left Constantino,
pie on the 17lh, arrived hereon the 24th.
London , Sept. 12. —Crops in France. —
The Journal de Lyons states that no ap
prehension need be entertained of a rise
in the price of corn, as so large a quanti
ty of foreign wheat had been imported
into Marseilles from Odessa, that the
markets in the south of France being
overstocked samples of this wheat had
been offered for sale at the market ol
Gray, on the Upper Saone, and sold at re
duced prices.
"Wolves in France. —Tho environs of
Gironville, in the Muse, have been lately
intested with wolves. A short time ago
a person was attacked on the road by
one of these animals, but having a stout
stick he attempted to beat it off. The corn
bat lasted several minutes, when the man
struck the beast a blow on the head which
sent it oft'howling wilh pain.
Miscellaneous.—Rights of Authors.
The London Gazette ot the Ist of Sep
tember, contains the ordeis in Council
; ratifying the treaty of international copy
| right entered into with Prussia for the
protection of “authors, inventors, design
ers, engravers, and makers of any of the
following woiks, (that is to say,) books,
prints, articles of sculpture, dramatic '
works, musical compositions, and any
other works of literature and the fine arts j

The Austrian Empire. —The Suabian
Mercury publishes lhe following statistics
relative to the Austrian Monarchy : “The :
Austrian monarchy covers an extent of
12,104 square miles, containing 35,293,-
957 souls, inhabiting 713 towns, 2,468
burghs, and 64,203 villages. The clergy
is composed of 65,565 individuals, and
the church revenue, without including
Hungary, Transylvania, and the miltary
frontier, exceeds 7,000,000 ot francs. —
Austria exceeds all other Siales in the
number of primary schools, in which
more than 4,000,000 pupils are educated ;
at an expense of 4.000,000 of florins.
Dwellings for the Poor. —A society
has been formed under high patronage
j for providing dwellings for the poor in the
suburbs of London. Lord Morpeth, Chief
j Commissioner of Wood and Forests, has
announced, it is said, that if the Manor
Count will accord a portion of Wanstead

The Rhine and the Danube, and con- j
sequently the Black Sea and German
Ocean, are now united by a canal just
completed, called the “Ludwigs Canal,”
after its creator, the King of Bavaria,
who has thus realized, in our day, one of
the vast conceptions nurtured eight hun
dred years ago in the brain of Charle
magne. A vessel of small burden, now
! sailing from Rotterdam or from London |
I “
i may carry its cargo through Bavaria, ;
Austria, Hungary and Wallachia, even
to Trebizond and Constantinople; or if .
she be of large burden, may discharge her •
cargo at the Rhine, and have it tranship. |
ed into small vessels at little expense. |
Whale Oil. —We have been given to
understand that only four whaleships
have arrived from the Southern whale
fishery this year, bringing together less
than four hundred tons of oil. The es
timated loss to the owners of these four
vessels will exceed £20,000; and none
of them have been refitted for the service.
It is stated that a proposition was made
to government more than twelve months
since to revive this important branch of
shipping; but it does not appear that the
application was successful. Manufac
turers and consumers under these cir
cumstances must be dependent for the
future on the United Stales of America
for a supply of spermaceti! oil.—London

A large ship, named the James Scott,
has been lying in the basin of Antwerp

to this long law.suit. The James Scott,
which was moored in the great basin,
suddenly sunk. The cause of this acci

THE LATE RIOT.
The letter which we give below, is the
only account by an eye witness that we have
seen, of the recent riot on the Rio Grande.
The affair has had a general run through
the newspapers of the country, all anxious
to publish something about the war, and all
ignorant of the facts of the melancholy oc
currence. We are not personally acquaint
ed with the writer, (a nou-cornmissioned offi
cer of the “ Jasper Greens ”) but those that
are, represent him as a soldier of truth, and
one who would not compromit fiis veracity
by wilfully misrepresenting the facts of the
case. With these remarks, we give the
letter as furnishing, at any rate, one version
of the affair. The writer thinks, and in this
! we agree with him, that “it is but right to
I ®
! hear both sides of the question before past.-
I ing judgment.”
Camaego, Sept. 10th, IS4O.
You have, no doubt, been expecting a cor
rect account of the recent quarrel, which un
happily took place among us. I have never
been more surprised than when I read the
j shamefully exaggerated and falsified state
; ments that have been sent regarding it, by
; news merchants, to many of the papers, just
I because they had no other war news. It is
but right to hear both sides of the question,
1 before passing a judgment. Without fur
-1 ther comment, I send you the facts in order
as they occurred, and of which I was an eye
witness, and as probably they will be attested
to by the whole company. You will admit
that apart from the evidence which they
carry with them, they are as worthy of con
sideration as the many contradictory ac
counts imparted by persons who were absent,
or interested, to say the least.
There are two brothers in our corps, na
| lives of Georgia, one of whom was knocked
down in presence of the other, without his
interfering in his behaif—happening to fall
in with some men belonging to theKenesaw
Rangers, (Capt. Nelson’s corps,) they se
verely insulted him for iiis inactivity in re
gard to his brother, and threatened to give
him a “most refined whipping.” Another
of our company, a young Scotchman, was
present, and remonstrated in favor of his
companion—he said they must not strike
him; to which they replied by throwing a
claret bottle at his head, and calling him “a
d—d Irish son of a b—h.” By this time the
i voices became elevated, and a rush was made
I by many of our men lo the scene of conten
| tion, and so far from promoting the distur
j bance, were drawingoff their own associates,
I when Capt. McMahon arrived and fc thwith
I ordered those of the Jaspers who we 3 pre-
I sent to their quarters. Before, however,
leaving the spot, it was roared out “that if
we did not look out, they would knock our
Irish heads off.” Every man at our side felt
deeply the insult, but the presence of the
Captain prevented any resentment, and on
| ordering them to thejr quarter?, established
i peace. He afterwards inculcated forbear
ance, bid us nut heed the insuA, that men of
i sense would not offer it. The remaining
| part of the day passed off quietly, and I
i heartily believe that, after the remarks of
I onr captain, no man in the company chensh
! ed the least desire of resentment. The next
! day, August 31st, a renewed insult was of
■ sered bv the Rangers, without the slightest
| provocation on our side. Private Makin, a
' harmless, unoffending man, was in the act of
removing his baggage down to the water side,
to he in readiness for the boat, which we ex
pected hourly, when a number of voices
cried out. “There goes a Paddy—go it, Pat,
you are now loaded like a jack-ass.” He
answered, “men, let me pass, (they were in
tercepting him on his way,) I am molesting
none of you”—to which tiiey replied by cur
sing him bitterly and insulting him. There
is a point when forbearance ceases to be any
longer a virtue, and the coldest must admit
that we had arrived at it by this time; how
ever, 1 will leave you to moralize. Makin
challenged to single combat any man in their
corps, and presently, B. Martin, one of our
non-commissioned officers, who had been
listening on, stepped up and ordered him to
go his way, which he did. Martin repaired
lo the first lieutenant of the Rangers, the
captain not being present, and requested his
interference —adding, that if our men should
meet with such continued insult, that their
commanders could not keep them from re
sentment, and that blood might he the con
sequence, shed, perhaps,on both sides. The
lieutenant promised to exert himself. The
boat, arrived shortly afterwards, and we went
aboard first, being the first who arrived at
the landing. There was no outbreak during
that day; night came on, and we ail lay on
deck in our blankets; some of our men were
singing, and Capt. McMahon commanded us
to put an end to it, in the hearing of all on
board, adding, that we must try and sleep,
and disturb none who were composing them
selves to rest —alluding to the Rangers at
the opposite side, who, f rom their great quiet
ness, were apparently endeavoring to sleep.
In a moment all became still; so much so,
that though there were over tiiree hundred
men on board, it stiil appeared to be lonely
and deserted. Suddenly, a most appalling
cry was raised from the bank of the river,
where some of our men went to sleep, call
ing for help, and shrieking out that they
were being murdered. A general rush was
made by both companies to the stairs, but
they were repulsed by the sentinels. Cap
tains McMahon and Nelson were both at
supper in the cabin, and I ran and told Capt.
Nelson, who met me, that there was a dis
turbance; he instantly flew to check it, and
Capt. McMahon remained on deck, to aid
the sentinels in checking our man, who were
furious lo break their way and run to the
aid of their companions; he pushed them
back with all his might, and even inflated
blows—details which, by the by, your trulh
lul papers refer to our Colonel, who was not
on board at all. At this time, Col. Baker
forced his way up the stairs, despite of the
sentinel, without notifying who lie was, or
what were his intentions. He was accom
panied by about 20 men, some of whom were
also forcing their way up the stairs. Capt.
McMahon, and all on deck, supposed them
to be the Rangers who were engaged in the
quarrel, and were now forcing their way lo
fight us on deck. Whilst engaged in quiet
ing his men, he heard the word “charge,”
and forthwith raised his sword to arrest the
movement, and crossed that of Colonel Ba
ker. Then ensued a struggle, which lasted
between both parties for about five minutes,
during which lime four muskets were dis
charged by the Illinois Volunteers, who now
occupied the bank of the river. Now it
would have been nothing were it not for this
charge. They first shot their own lieutenant
in both legs, at my side; then fell one of our
i non-commissioned officers,Corporal Wealan,
shot through the heart—the only one killed;
at the same time fell Col. Baker, wounded '
by one of the same charge, and lastly Capt.
McMahon fell, wounded, on eight bayonets
which were charged at him, escaping being
killed by pressing his sword down on them
as he was falling. A cry was then raised
that the Capt. was killed, and the Greens
rushed with their muskets, and after clearing
the deck, possessed it quietly. You see how
short is the list of the killed and wounded;
no life would have been sacrificed, were it
not for the peace-makers; both captains would
have restored order. Yours, &g.
THE RICHMOND TRAGEDY.
The following letter purporting lo be a
' version of this melancholy affair, appears
in a New York paper:—
His room was entered this morning by
three persons —the first was Mr. Burr,
who brought him a paper to-sign, pledging
himself to leave Richmond immediately,
and never to return to this city under the
penalty ol a forfeiture of his life. He
i refused to sign it, saying that he had been
I guilty of no crime—indeed of nothing of
which he was ashamed, and that he had
j
no business elsewhere. Thereupon, Col.
! Samuel Myers, of litis place, entered, fol
| lowed by his brother William. The
former had a large stick in his hand which
he struck upon the floor violently, saying
j at the same time, very emphatically,
“You must sign that paper without delay;”
or something lo that effect, if not in llie
exact words 1 use. He answered, —
“Gentlemen. 1 shall decline signing that
' O O
paper.”
William Myers instantly drew a re
volver and commenced firing on H., who
had risen on his bed when the two last
I individuals made their appearance. The
first time the trigger was drawn (the
: pistol was placed within about a foot,
: perhaps, of H’s person,) the weapon snap
ped. H. attempted to close, but before
lie could do so, the weapon was discharg
ed and he received a ball in the head,
just over the tight eye. He was blinded
instantly by the gush of blood which fol
lowed the wound, yet still attempting to
defend himself, when he received a se
coud ball, which passed entirely through
the fleshy part of one thigh, and buried
itself in the other. H. says that he felt at
that moment —doubtless from the loss of
blood, which flowed very profusely—as
if he was suspended in the air and could
not reach the ground. He then fell, and
■ rolled down the steps in the chamber, to
the lower floor. The cause of this hor
rible scene was jealousy on the part of
Wm. Myers, who supposed that Hoyt and
his wife had been guilty of crim con.
After his fall, they were going out of
his room when H. said—believing the
c?
words to be the last that he ever should
utter—“l am innocent: so is she.” 'This
affair took place at about a quarter to 1
seven this morning. * * * * j
I arrived here at half-past five, P. M. I
found H. as perfectly cool and calm as if I
nothing of any great consequence had
■occurred; I never saw more nerve exhi
bited by any man in my life. He gave
me the above account of the matter, which
I have related as nearly as possible in
his words.
The physicians in attendance do not
; allow the slightest hope of his recovery
! —they consider it a bare possibility.
I Public opinion at present is against our
j poor friend, but I and others are perfectly |
convinced of his entire innocence in re- i
! gard to the impure crime with which he |
| is charged.
P. S. Tuesday mornieg, 29th inst., 6
I o’clock. He has slept during all the night,
waking only three or four times, when
he would talk to me in his usual manner.
Dr. Carmichael hasjust called to see him, ;
the wound is doing well, but he seems to |
be in a slate of wonder and surprize that |
he is still living, and in such an excellent |
condition. He complains only of a 1
bruised sensation—no acute pain what- I
ever, and on being asked by the first
person who entered his room, what was
the matter, replied “that he could hardly
j tell, except that he had been shot; that
he had no idea whatever of the extent of
j the injuries he had received, but supposed |
I the wounds were mortal.”
Gen. Jacksonand Capt. Fatio. —An ex
change paper relates the following of Gen.
Jackson and Captain Fatio, late of the
Revenue Service :
The Captain Fatio, who was lately
dismissed from the service, as Command
er of the Revenue Cutler Woodbury, in
consequence of putting into port lo avoid
a gale of wind, he having a Government
Agent on board, charged with important
despatches for Vera Cruz, is the same
person who obtained office from General
Jackson in a rather singular manner.—
Having been dismissed from service by
John Quincy Adams, he laid his com
plaint before the new President immedi
ately upon his accession to power. The
General, as he alleges, promised tore in
state him, but put him off from day to day,
until at last, incensed by the untiring im
portunities of the little Captain, the old
Hero sprang to his feet, and swore “by
the Eternal,” if he did not desist, he would
throw him out of the window! The words
were likely lo be followed by the action,
when Fatio, distending himself to his
utmost proportions, exclaimed, “Try it,
you d—d old tyrant, and Fll run you
through!”
The General was so much astonished
at the fellow’s coolness and courage, that
he sat down and wrote out his commis
sion at once.

morning.
lETWe publish in to-day’s paper, a differ
-1 ent version from the first which made its ap
pearance, of the riot in the Georgia Regi
ment. This appeared some days ago, but it
escaped our attention, until we were directed
to it by a friend, who felt solicitous that jus
tice should he done the Jasper Greens, which
| company was represented by the first account
to be so greatly in the wrong. As the re
spectability of this writer is vouched for by
the editor of the Columbus Enquirer, his
statement will receive general credence.
We are pleased to find that that fine com
pany is so fully vindicated.
HTThe Fire Companies of Augusta were
out in strong force on Monday evening, and
moved in procession with Music and ban
; ners, to visit their fellow Firemen of Ham
burg. This was by special invitation of the
Hamburg Fire Company, who received on .
that evening by Rail Road, their new and j
beautiful Engine. It is one of Hunneman’s
make, of handsome model, and tastefully or-
I namented. As it was drawn through the lines
. formed by the Augusta Fire Companies at the
| Depot,manned by the Hamburg Company,and
i detachments of five from each Augusta Com
; pany, it was welcomed with three hearty
cheers. After parading through the princi
; pal streets of Hamburg, the Companies par
took of a plentiful collation, provided by the
hospitality of the Hamburg Firemen, and
i mingled together in fraternal harmony j
around the festive board, in the indulgence of j
kindly sentiments, and jovial feelings. We j
will not attempt a minute description of the :
affair, as we understand the Editor of the j
Hamburg Republican, who knows how to do ;
■ those things, will show it up in his paper of j
to-morrow.
We cannot forbear, however,a compliment I
to the appearance of the Hamburg Fire Com
pany. They are a fine-looking set of fellows,
and have a tasteful uniform. They will i
! doubtless do good service in time of need,
j We congratulate the citizens of Hamburg
on this additional safeguard to their property; 1
and also the citizens of Augusta, for the two I
communities are as one, when either is visited |
| by the calamity of fire.
[ETThere was one alloy to the pleasure of I
the Augusta Fire Companies’ visit to Ham
i burg, which, in all other respects, was de
i lighlfol. We encountered clouds of dust, j
I created by so large a body of men in motion. ■
It was almost suffocating, and shrouded us in
darkness. Though the heavens were with
out a cloud, and the bright full moon was
shining in placid beauty, pouring its rich es- I
fulgence upon distant objects—the flowing
! river, and its tall bridge, the neighboring
heights, the towering spires of Augusta, yet
it’s silver light could not penetrate the thick
masses of dust that enveloped us. Our
| march was
! “By the struggling Moon-beams misty light,
| And our lanterns dimly burning.”
We have long wanted rain, both for the
comfort of our citizens, and the important
consideration of business. A large quantity
i of goods destined for this market, is detained
i in Savannah, by the low stage of the river.
Even Mr. Shultz’s celebrated turnip patch of
1839, under the bridge, is again becoming
visible. If we do not have rain shortly, it
will be necessary to put on our river some of
those light draught Arkansas Steamboats,
which were warranted to run anywhere that
it was a Hide damp.
(FTTbe following sensible remarks in re
lation to the great and leading interest of our
country, are from the Pennsylvanian. The
correctness of the position is too plain to
need illustration. It is borne out by every
man’s experience and observation. What
then would seem the obvious duty of the gov
ernment, in legislating for our country?—
Should it not be to pass such laws, and so to
shape its policy as would best promote the
agricultural interest? Yet what has been
the great object of the governments solici
tude? Not the agricultural interest; but one
infinitely less important, and one which has,
for a number of years succeeded in influenc
ing the government to tax every other inter
est in the country for its support.
It has been fostered and cherished with an
exclusiveness of affection which had finally
caused it to look upon special privileges as a
right for which it was entitled to call upon
the government, and to consider all legis
lation which aimed to place ail interests upon
something like equality, as gross injustice.
“It is a fact that all our history proves,
that whenever the Farmerfluurishes—when
ever the produce of his broad fields finds a
ready and a profitable market— all other in
terests are enlivened and benefited—the Me
chanic, the Manufacturer,and the Merchant.
It is a mistake too absurd to be worthy of re
ply, to say that as the Manufacturer flour
ishes, all others flourish. Let the Farmer
have a steady market fur his produce; let the
■rv ■ - >' M
broad and countless acres of this Union, find
a market for their grain and flour, and all
their products, and we shall need no Banks
nor Tariffs. Every artery of society will
beat with new life under the xuickening and
exljjle rating effects of the Farmer’s success.”
