WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26. Another-StctimboiU Disaster. The New Orleans Courier of the "Ist says:— By the Danube, arrived this morning, we have intelligence of another, not blowing up, but going down, which was experienced, by the steamboat Macfarland, at Walnut Point, about thirty miles above the town of Helena, on the 17lh instant, The mishap was occasioned by the Danube com ing into collision with the Macfarland, a few hours before day. The shock was so great, as to cause the Macfarland to sink in four or five min utes. The cabin parted from the rest of the hull. All her passengers are said to have been saved, with the exception of a sick man and a boy. The cargo is supposed to have sunk with the part of the hull below the cabin floor. The Danube lost twenty-eight hours, while stopping to pick up the passengers and their effects. Extra Meeting of Council. Monday EVENfyo, 8 o’clock, } June 24th, 1839. 5 Present — Hon. A. Cummins, Mayor, Alder men Dye, Bt. John, Harper, Bishop, Parish and Bush. The Mayor having stated that the purpose of the meeting was to lake into consideration a pe tition from the South Carolina Canal and Rail- Uoad Company, asking the privilege of crossing ic River, and to establish a depot on the Au -ousta side of the River, with such restrictions, <fec., as the City Council may deem necessary. which being read, was, on motion, referred to the Committee of Nine, appointed by the Chairman the late public meeting, held on the 22d inst., to report them to the adjourned public meeting to i be held on the 39th inst. I On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings | of this meeting, with the petition, be published forthwith. Council adjourned. S. H. OLIVER, Clerk. THE STATE OK SOUTH CAROLINA. To the honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Augusta. The petition of the South Carolina Canal and Rail-Road Company respectfully showeth, That the said Rail-Road Company arc desi rous of extending their connection with the city Jcf Augusta, and the interior of Georgia, and re moving as far as may be in their power, all ob lil stacles to the freest and most unrestricted inter- W course. That the present termination of their road at Hamburg, subjects the merchants, and | others engaged in the trade of Augusta, and the N surrounding country to great embarrassment, | and heavy charges from the delay in receiving ■ and forwarding their goods and produce, and the 1 heavy tolls they are compelled to pay at the Au- I gusta Bridge, which tolls have lately been greatly V increased. ■ That to remove ihese evils as far as may be in I their power, the Rail-Road Company are disposed I to cross the Savannah River by a bridge or oth- E erwise, to Augusta, and there establish a deposi n' toiy, where goods and produce shall be received tv iSr transportation, and delivered to the merchants and others in Augusta. This measure the Com pany arc willing to carry into elVect at their own expense, and as it will greatly benefit the citizens of Georgia, and especially of Augusta, they confi dently rely on the countenance and support of your honorable body. Your petitioners have understood that the city of Augusta are the owners of the land on the L, ; margin of the river for some distance above and jfy below the Augusta Bridge ; that the lots along ■£ the river, arc bounded by a public street, and that the wharves opposite to these lots arc also owned is by the city. The Rail Road Company therefore, if. before they proceed to purchase a place for a de ar pository on the Augusta side of the River, would II respectfully ask of the City Council their con- I sent to the free use by the Company, in perpetu ■ ity, of such public lands, wharves or streets, as I they may find necessary for the purpose of cross- I ing the River, and es'ablishing a depository in I Augusta for the purposes above stated. While I this Company would be desirous of carrying their I road as far into ike city ot Augusta as may be I practicable, so as to reduce to the smallest amount the charges oi transportation on su'.’h B goods as may be destined for the interior of I Georgia, it must be left to the wisdom of your I honorable body to impose such restrictions as the ■public interest may in your judgment require. A Your petitioners trust that in granting the ■ prayer of their petition, your honorable body will i also extend to them an exemption from taxation, as the measure they propose to adopt, must be S necessarily attended with much expense to them, I while it will greatly benefit the citizens of Au- I gusta. It is proper to add that all that is required I of the city of Augusta, is an agreement giving ■ their consent and sanction, so tar as they may ■ lawfully do so, to our crossing the River by a ■ bridge or otherwise, to some point on the Augusta ■ -idr of the River, within the corporate limits; Hthc establishment of a depository, and other suit- | able buildings there, and the tree use, or the use e on reasonable terms of such public lots, wharves * , o or streets, us may be required for these purposes- It is not the intention of the Company to cs- p tablish a toll-bridge, or to violate the chartered r rights of others, whatever they may he. They intend to proceed to accomplish the objects they j, have in view, by all legal and proper means, and n as a first step, appeal to your honorable body for 11 your aid and support. All which is respectfully submitted in behalf p of the Company. e By order of the Board, TRISTRAM TUPPER, President. | Goan is Sr. Louts.—The St. Louis Rcpub- o lican states that gold has been found on a farm 1 about thirty miles from that city', on the waters of the Merrimac. A lump of gold shown the editor, was about the siie of alien’s egg, and was i turned up by the plough. Other specimens have 1 also been found. The gold was about IT carrots ( fine. The Republican says: “We are told that ! a number of lumps of the same kind have, at 1 different times, been picked up in that neighbor- 1 hood, but no one knowing what metal it was, it has heretofore elicited very little attention. We I are not informed whether the indications are such 1 as to justify the expectation that it exists in large ‘ quantities. We presume, from its having been ( found in several places, that there will yet he < more important discoveries made. 1 i Kkdeiuusm.—As it. is the fashion among the { loco focos to denounce the vvhigs as Federalists , ( it is interesting sometimes to review the course of those who profess to be the exclusive democrats of the present day, and contrast their professions now with what were their sentiments years ago. I Among those who arc loudest in their outcries i against federalists and federalism, is William Cul len Bryant, the editor of the New York Evening Post. The Post is now the accredited organ of j democracy in that great city, and hurls its analhc- j mas against all who dare to doubt the infallibility of Marlin Van Buren, and his advisers. Such is the editor of the Post now,- the following extract ‘ from a poem, (for he is n poetical politician,) ( written by that gciitleriian some years since, will | show what he was then, and what ho then thought of the great apostle of democracy, Thomas Jes- . fetson: “ And thou, the scorn of every patriots name, 1 Thy country’s ruin and her council’s shame. Poor servile thing ! devision of the brave I Who erst from Tarloton fled to Carter’s cave; 1 Thou, who when menaced hy perfidious Caul, Didst prostrate to her whisker’d minion fall, And when our cash her empty bags supply’d Didst meanly strive our foul disgrace to hide ; ( io, wretch,resign the presidential chair, I Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair, i (!o, search with ruinous eye for horned frogs, Mid the wild wastes of Louisianian bogs; , Or, where the Ohio rolls his turbid stream,l Dig for huge hones thy glory and thy theme, Go, scan, Philosophist, thy •••*»»• charms, And sink supinely in her sable arms ; Hut quit to alder hand the helm of Stale, Nor image ruin on thy country’s fate !” Having thus characterised Mr. Jefferson, he proceeds to denounce democratic principles, in the following strain: “And now as Truth with glowing lustre shines, Before her beams Democracy declines ; Vain arc all arts her baffled leaders try, And vain alike, to flatter or to lie. Prom the long sleep alarm’d the people rise, And spite of sophisms, learn to trust their eyes.” There, what do our democratic friends thing of that ? What do they think of democracy de clining before the beams of truth?— Vicksburg Whig. The proprietors of the Great Western Pteam Ship have declared an annual dividend of 9 per cent.—with 2000/. on hand as a contingent fund. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Chartist Stephens. The great lion with the Chartists ofGrcat Bri tain, is a clergyman, named Joseph Rayncr Ste phens, certainly an eloquent and able man, hut incendiary and radical in his doctrines to a deplo rable extent. He has been prosecuted hy the crown for sedition, and the utterance of libellous language. Three several bills of indictment were found against him, at the recent Assizes of Liver pool and Chester, and in each case, he pul in a plea of “ not guilty.” The first indictment char ges the reverend gentleman with “maliciously in tending to disturb the public peace, to raise and excite tumults, riots, and disobedience to the laws.” The following is the speech complained of : “We have a set of men who call themselves law makers, who make kws by the operation of which people cannot get along wage for a short day’s work. There arc only two plans—either to trample those laws under foot, or break the skulls of those who made them; and if those laws are in existence, and you cannotohlain sufficient for yourselves and families, you would be justi fied in going to Mr. Jowett’s house, and helping yourselves to flour, meal, butler, cheese, or to any of the clothier’s shops, and help yourselves to such clothing as you may need. I am armed, . and am going to London as the. Delegate for this neighborhood—(mcming the neighborhood of * Ashton-undcr-Line aforesaid) —to attend the Na tional Convention, and when I go I wish to go a W the armed delegate of an armed people, so that when wc come into contact with the Cjueen or her Government, in the shape of a petition or re- 1 monstrance, we may say—“Wc, your Majesty’s ' loyal subjects, consisting of 200,000 armed men, 1 beseech your Majesty to redress our grievances and grant us our rights; and if not—” The in- 1 dictment goes on—Whereupon the said Joseph Rayncr Stephens made a pause in his said dis- 1 course, and used a gesture hy which he meant, and which was then and there understood by the persons so assembled at the said meeting-house to 1 mean, in case of refusal to redress the said suppo- I sod grievances, and grant the said supposed ■ rights, the said Joseph Rayncr Stephens, and the * said other armed persons, would resort to acts of violence.” This, we must confess, is carrying the joke a j little too far. Liberty and Reform are very good 1 things; but robbery and outrage are sad counter feits, and deserve universal execration. The doc trines attributed to Mr. Stephens in the above 1 speech, would, ifearried out. soon put aside every 1 thing like law, order, and the security of property 1 | and life.—The wonder is, that the British Gov- 1 eminent have so long permitted ihis eloquent in- I cendiary to disseminate his disorganizing doc- I 1 trines. He is Briber dc.-cnbed as having denounced ■ every one who censured a resort to arms, as trai torous, and meriting a traitor’s fate. On another occasion, he addressed a meeting of about 600 persons, and said that the time for the end of the present system had come, and upon its ruins, a republic was about to bo erected, adding: ‘•Now we must have no more torchlight meet ings; keep your guns and pistols and daggers bright and clean, bide your time, be ready as one man to act when called upon. I shall not have many more opportunities of addressing you. On Christmas day the members of the Convention, those from the North, and the Lancashire, Staf fordshire, and Yorkshire districts, will held a sol emn meeting in Manchester to arrange their plans which shall shake this great empire to her centre. I was yesterday presented in Manchester by a par ty of gentlemen with a handsome dagger silver hilled, and scabbard, in token of their confidence and esteem. The men of Bury have their eyes upon you, men of Ashton; all England has its eyes upon you; you are their guide and beacon. The noble stand you have made against the accursed Poor Law places you on a proud pre-eminence, and I tell the three Somerset-house kings, I tell the magistrates, I tell Lord John Russell, before we will be separated from our wives and children to be fed on skilly, not one but from Dukinfield hill to Ashton, and the blood and hone-houses be tween here and Staylcybridge (mark, I do not mean cottage-houses), ay, and all Staylcybridge, shall be one wide sheet of flame.” The second and third indictments charge simi lar language upon him, made use of, at various places, and before audiences amounting to from 3000 to 5000 souls. Nice doings these, and cal dilated to make a sad impression as to the condi tion o( at least a portion of the popular mind, in Great Britain. Stephens was still at large, and indulging in more inflammatory language than ever. Various meetings had been held, for the purpose of collecting sufficient funds to enable him to defend himself with vigor against the Government. The following is an extract from a letter of the European correspondent of the Now York Even ing .Star, written from the city of Naples: The famous Lucrine Lake is dwindled down to a paltry town—not as big as a mill dam. Around Lake Avcrnus are no woods, and it looks not now like the outwork of hell which Virgil described it. While my classical recollections were powerfully awakened on this classic ground, I could not help visiting the cavern through which -Eneas is said to have made the “facilis descensus” to Acheron. It may be worth a paragraph. It is a straight tunnel, about ten feet high, cut artificially in the soil. About a hundred yards from the farther end, a very narrow gallery leads off to the right. It runs down in a precipitous way for about two hundred feet, and brings yon to a pool of water. This ought to bo the Styx. The pool, however, has become so shallow that Charon is not wanted—’cause there is no boat, and no water sufficient to float one if there were. You meet some rough looking Neapolitans, who take you across on their buck, as the fishwomcn do from the steamboats at low water in Boulogne. We did not venture over. We had torches, of course, and by their aid found it not difficult “rcvocarc gradum.” An Uncommon Escape. In Heath’s Book of Beauty, for 1839, is a very clever talc by George Irvine, Esq., entitled “The Lady of the Lattice. The hero of this talc is the Chevalier dc Vevancourt, who finds himself a po litical prisoner, in the chateau of an old jealous Governor, who has a wife. His escape is singu lar enough. In this pleasant abode, Vevancourt underwent the proper formulary of fetters, black bread, dirty water, &c. &c., according to the most approved receipts usual in such cases. His cell, which was situated under the platform of the keep, was vaulted with solid masonry, the walls were of mostdespairing thickness, and the tour itself hung apparently over a precipice. Escape seemed to tally out of the question. * # * » » One morning the turnkey, whose office it was to bring the prisoner his daily miserable pittance, instead of leaving him after having deposited it on his wooden table, remained standing before him with his arms folded, and regarding him with a singular expression. Their conversation was in general confined to a very few words, and was never commenced by his keeper. Vevancourt was therefore not a little surprised, when the man said to him— “ Sis, you, no doubt, have you Treasons for call ing yourself Mons. Latercr. I have nothing to do with that; it is not my business to verify your title; you may call yourself Peter or Paul, for all I care, but I know (here he gave a most knowing wink with his left eye.) that you are M. Theodore Amadec Francois Chevalier de Ve vancourt, and cousin of Madame la duchess dc Maille. Well!” added he, with an air of tri umph, after a moment of sileme, and looking friendly at his prisoner. “And,” said Vevancourt, who thought that his position could not be made much worse than it was already by the avowal of his proper name, “suppose I am the Chevalier de Vevancout, what good will that do you ?” “All the good in the world,” answered the turnkey, in a low voice. “Hark, ye, I have been handsomely tipped to assist your escape. Slop a minute, as I shall be shot if I am suspected of the least thing, I have declared that I would not meddle with the business one jot further than just sufficient to gain my money. Look you, sir, here is the key,” At these words he produc ed a small file. “With this,” continued he, “you can cut through one of those bars, the door will not be over wide, to be sure.” He pointed as he spoke to one of the narrow apertures by which the light was admitted to the dungeon.— “Now you see you must saw off one of those bars, near enough to the bottom to allow you to pass.” ‘ Oh nevermind!” said Vevancourt; “I’ll man age to get through.” “But you must have enough of the iron to tic the rope to.” “Where is it!” “Here,” answered the turnkey, producing a 1 rope knotted at intervals, “it is composed of | linen, as you see, in order that it may be thought you made it yourself nut of your sheets; it is of ■ the proper height. When you get to the last ! knot, let yourself fall gently down ; the rest is i your own look out. 1 have some reason to be- ! lieveyou will find near the. spot a carriage with horses ready put to, and friends who expect you. That I know nothing about, of course.— By-thc-by, I forget to mention, that there is a sentinel just on the right of the tower, who will send a musket ball through your head to a dead certainly, if he sees you. However, you will ' choose a good dark night, and watch the moment when the soldier is napping; you run some risk, but—” “Go id I” cried the Chevalier; “at all events. I shall not die here like a dog." “Why, I don’t know,” drawled the gaoler, with a stupid look, “that may happen neverllrt'- less.” Vevuncount, in joy at the prospect of es cape, had no time to pay attention to this silly sounding observation of one who appeared a mere rustic boor; he instantly set to w ork, and spent the whole day in tiling through the bar. Thinking, however, that the Commandant might pay a visit in person, he look care to con ceal the effects of his labor, hy filling the incis ion with the crumbs of broad rolled in the rust, so as to give it the color of iron, and then waited for a night that should suit his purpose, with con centrated impatience of mind. At length, during a dark and lurid autumnal night he completed his operation. The bar was sawn through, the cord firmly attached it, and Vevancourl having with some difficulty, squeez ed himself through the opening, waited, with hr, feet, on part of the masonry, which projected be neath the window, and his hands tightly grasping the end of the bar which remained, for (he most obscure part of tlip night, and that hour at which your watchful sentinel is generally fast asleep, that is to say, two hours before daybreak. Being well acquainted with (he duration of the different watches, and the times at which the guards went the rounds, circumstances which prisoners, even involuntarily chiefly occupy themselves in ascertaining, he watched the mo ment when about three-quarters of the duty of the sentinel nearest had expired, and the man himself snug in his box to avoid the fog, then feeling certain that he had united alt the chances most favorable for his evasion, he began to de scend knot by knot, suspended between the hea ven and earth, but clutching the cord with the strength of a giant. All appeared to be going on prosperously, he had already arrived in safely at the last knot but one; when, just as he was about to let himself slide off on to the earth, he thought it would lie more prudent to feel for tho ground with his feet, but no ground was to he felt. This was not altogether encouraging, ho was bathed in sweat, fatigued, perplexed, and in a sit untion where his life depended on a mere toss up ; ho was on the point of taking all the chan ces and leaping down, when a gust of wind blew off his hat, luckily he listened for the noise he expected it to make in falling, and on hearing nothing, a vague suspicion of his situation struck him, and he began to think it possible that some snare had been laid for him, though why, or wherefore, he was unable to conjecture. In this uncertainty, he almost determined to defer the attempt to some other night, and in the meantime resolved at least to wait for the ftrsf, uncertain glimpse of light, which moment might perhaps ho almost as favorable for his flight, as the present. His uncommon strength enabled him to climb back to his dungeon, hut he was al most exhausted as he arrived at the projecting stone under his window, where he remained wait ing like a cat at the end of a gutter. In a short time, the first dim beams of tho morning broke, and he then perceived as he moved the floating cord backwards and forwards, a trfling interval of some hundred and fifty feet between the last knot of it, and the pointed rocks of the precipice. “Oh, oh! M.le Commandant,’ said the Chev ■Uer with the coolness that characterized him, “I .have the honor to be your most obedient, very humble servant.” Having reflected for some minutes on this adroitly intended plan of revenge, he thought it best to re-enter his cell. He placed . nil his clothes on his bed, left the cord outside at tached to the bar, to encourage the idea of his fall, and quietly ensconcing himself behind the door, ho wailed for the arrival of the treacherous jailor, with one of the iron bars, he had sawn off in his hand. Tho turnkey appeared in duo season, rather sooner than was his usual custom, impatient to enter into possession of the properly of the de funct. He opened tho door witli a careless whis tle; but no sooner had he arrived at a proper distance, than Vevancourt applied a tap of the iron bar with such anatomical precision and po etical justice to his organ of acquisitiveness, that the traitor fell as if shat dead, without uttering a word. The Chevalier stripped the body with the skill of a lamp-suttlcr, dressed himself in the clothes of his victim, imitated his walk, and, thanks to the earliness of the hour, and the drowsy inattention of the unsuspecting sentinels, effected his es sape. The following beautiful verses were written by the sweetest of poets a few days before his death. hast Verses.

A Courteous Refusae. —A gentleman hav ing prevailed on a young lady to whom he was engaged to give him a miniature, promising his in return, as soon as lie could find a good artist. The lovers meantime had quarrelled. The gen- I tleinan desirous of making his peace, said, “I I have just seen a (inc miniature by the celebrated I E ; mine shall he executed next week if you say so.” “It is a matter of equal indifference j to me,” she replied, “which is executed, you or ' your miniature, for I have resolved to accept nei thcr.” I i —— — —i, .; Hazardous Ska Ahv KN-rniKa. — The arrival ot the iron steamboat at Now V ork, from London, has mill'd (i|> many rcminiHccnses of former voy ages on the great deep performed by crafts of a similar size. A friend relates for us a more daring and perilous voyage than any we have yet seen mentioned, ami which \vc arc sure must eclipse any yet untold. An American Sailor made his escape ’uring the war from the British prison-ship at Bermuda, and traversed the ocean, alone, in an open sail boat, to the Virginia shore, a distance of over SCO leagues! Thomas King, of Charleston, 8. C., who had been captured in the C. S. brig Vixen, by the Southampton frigate, was the hero of this exploit. To engaged a fellow prisoner to accompany him m the enterprise. A pocket compass was pro cured—some provision was saved from their scanty allowance—and the prison-ship’s sail boat, which was to be used, had kegs of fresh water for ballast. The 4lh of July, 1813, the enterprise was deter mined on. When the evening arrived for put* ling the plan into execution, the heart of Ki“gV compognon de voyage that was to be, failed him, and he could not be induced to link bis fate with that of his more resolute comrade in the little boat. But King, unappnlled, though thus abandoned determined to make the attempt alone. He got out of a port hole in the evening of the 251 h July, swam to the boat, which was towing astern, got into it, cut the painter and drifted some distance, then made sail for old Virginia, where he arrived 3d August, landing on the beach 10 miles to the southward ol'Cape Henry, having been nine days at sen. He went overland to Norfolk, where the boat was sold for his benefit. He was soon after appointed Master’s Mate in the Navy, as a re ward for his daring conduct. Mueh lias been said and snug and written about the young English sailor who was found making his escape from a Fregcji prison in a tub; and who being brought before Napoleon, was mag nanimously liberated and sent home by that great man, who admired and rewarded the daring bra very of the undertaking. Poetic license has estab lished this event, at the expense of fact. The young sailor is represented as attempting to cross the English Channel from Boulogne in his tub. His endeavor was to drift out with the ebb-tide to the British squadron, then blockading the French coasts, and within two or three miles of the shore. The successful exploit of the American sailor, throws this into shade, as well as the little iron steamboat’s trip and all the other daring adven turers in liny crafts on the ocean, which old re miniscences have brought out since the Robert Stockton’s arrival. —Richmond Compiler, Copper of Cold VVateii. —A very simple machine, by which pneumatic pressure may he applied to the. filtration of all liquids, has been constructed in London. A tin cylinder, divided by a strainer into two parts, contains in the up per division the liquor to ho filtered. To the lower division of the cylinder a small air-pump is attached, liy which the air is exhausted, and the liquor filtered quickly through and may he drawn oil' as required. On exhibiting the invention, (says a London paper,) to some scientific gentle men, ouc of them immediately observed that it was admirably adapted for making coffee, upon which the inventor took the hint, and constructed . a very simple coffee machine. He first tried to 1 make coffee with it with boiling water, and it pro • iloceil very good coffee as clear ns brandy. He ! then tried it with cold water, and to his astonish -1 ment, found that the coffee so produced, was in -1 finitely superior to that made with boiling water, 1 the flavor being much finer. The apparatus was tried at the Royal Institution, and gave universal satisfaction. —Portland Advertiser. From the Chicago Democrat. A gentleman in the country, who lately sent us the death of his wife, adds the following : 'T*. 8. —Just give her a little puff, will you !” The reader will probably suppos ■ that the fore going paragraph was intended by the Chicago editor as a quiz upon the practice of indiscrimi nate pulling now so prevalent. But it may be true though. When, many years ago, we were editing the old Northern Whig, in Hudson, an honest Hutch friend, a wealthy and respectable farmer in an adjoining town, one morning gave us a call. We observed a pensive cloud upon his brow, before be made known his business, which was to announce the death of his wife, and request us to notice the fact in the paper.— We accordingly wrote ' Hied, on last, in the year of her age, Mrs. , wife of Captain , of Livingston’s manor.” We read the notice to the good man, again and again. But he was evidently not sat isfied. At length we inquired, “what is the mat ter, captain 1 Is it not correct]!” “Why,” he replied, with a (pause; ‘l—l—vanl yon now to give her von good recommend !” She doubtless deserved it, and we gratified the affectionate de sire of the bereaved husband.— N.
