To tlie Know-Nothing Preachers of the Methodist Church South. ' Brethren:— l have concluded to divide my | promised appeal to the Methodist Church, into ■ two parts, and to address the first to you. ami I the last to the Church at large. And here, in the language of Mr. Wesley let me say to you. “I beseech you brethren by the mercies of God, by whatever love you bear to God, to your country, to your own souls, do not consider who speaks but what is spoken. If it be possible, j for one hour, lay prejudice aside; give what is I advanced a fair hearing. Consider simply on I each head. Is it true or is it false? Is it rea sonable or is it not?” Rememlter, brethren, I am before you to propose, but to resist in novations upon old Methodism. I stand where I always stood since I joined the Church, upon the, “platform” of Wesley. You stand with one foot upon that platform, and the other upon a rickety structure, first reared by a criminal, if report be true, and miserably patched by un chistian hands. I would have you withdraw the truant limb from this dangerous platform, to its original position. When we convenated together, we were of one heart and one mind. But you have formed new covenants with men who have no kindred feelings with you. “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” They cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned." “Their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration be cause oj These be they who se parate themselves, sensual having not the spirit.’ “They are such as serve not the Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the sim ple.” “They are given to debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitting, whisperings, swell ings, tumults.” “With feigned words they make merchandise of you.” They are ashamed “even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” These be the men to whom youjiave yoked yourselves. I do not say all your companions are such; but / kaow many of them to be such; and most of them to be men of the world. I would withdraw you from them; but if I cannot, and a final separation should take place between us, remember, if you please, that you made the first move in it. “But why not quietly enjoy our own opin ions, and live in peace?” I answer because your lodges will not allow me to enjoy my opinions in peace upon pain of surrendering thg freeman’s right of speech; and because with my notions of the moral character and aims of your order, we never ean live in peace, while you re main in it, and I remain in the Methodist Church. How “can two walk together except they be agreed?” lam not the only Metho dist by hundreds, if not thousands, who enter tain my opinions of your order; and 1 should suppose, whatever you think of it, that for their sakes you would abandon it upon the principle that you should do nothing “whereby thy bro ther stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Y’our opposition to Catholics and foreigners, I deem impolic and unchristian; but this will nev er disturb our peace, if you will not persecute it in away dangerous to the peace of the country, enervating to Protestantism, fostering to Ro manism, paralyzing to Methodism, humiliating to her ministry; distracting to her membership, encouraging to falsehood, smothering to truth, and demoralizing in all its aspects and move ments. And here I beg you to bear in mind, that it is not your principles to which I object (if a naked conspiracy against two classes of men can be called principles) so much as to your manner of propagating them. But as I cannot hope to wean you from the order, with out at least shaking your confidence in your principles I shall in the first place address my self to them. In what I have to say upon this head, I shall take it for granted that you ■ all went over to the Know Nothings with good intentions.— That you sincerely believe that the Catholics are about to take the country; and that handled as it has been by Whigs and Democrats, it is even now, hardly worth having; and that with out the interposition of Know Nothingism, it will soon be out a putrid carcass upon any party that shoulders it. I cannot reconcile these suppositions with each other; but they must be made to reconcile the professions of your order with sincerity. I will go still farther, and admit for the sake Os the argument, immigrants who comes into the , country, is a pauper and a Catholic. That the Pope of Rome is fully advised of every election that comes off in this country, from California to Maine, and from Oregon* to Florida. That every Catholic in the land feels himself bound to vote just as the Pope orders him to vote, in every election that occurs in this country, from that of villiagc constable, to that of President of the United States. Let this tissue of absur dities be admitted; and still I maintain that K now Nothingism is not the remedy for the supposed evils; and that if it were, it is a reme dy with which you should have nothing to do. To the proof: Paupers are annually coming by multitudes into this country. Very well; and who are paupers? Who they are poor people. They are not necessarily lazy or dishonest. So far from it, they are generally both honest and in dustrious. Certainly us honest and industrious as natives in their condition. These, an op pressed, afflicted, down-trodden, over-wrought, enslaved people, seek a shelter and a living in your free country, where millions of idle capital ■ are only waiting the hand of industry, to loom out in all that enriches adorns, ennobles and strengthens a nation—these are the people which your order would drive from our shoros, simply because they are poor! You tell us with more candor than self-respect, that the rich may come without opposition, but you will not have your country burdened with paupers. 1 With you the old motto which you learned from your sires and grand sires, “America an asylum for the oppressed” is changed to “Amer ica an asylum for the oppressor and a scourge to the oppressed 1” Your aims are as impolitic as they are inhuman. Hear tlie language of one who know the effects of immigration npon a country, far better than the wisest man of your order: “A nation rcceiaing a stray child (« fortori a grown man) into its bosom again acquires a rad treasure ,- as much as it receives in him, an addition to its population, an acces sion to the profits of national industry, and ac quisition of capital. It at the same time re covers a lost citizen, and the means for him to subsist upon. If the exile bring baric his in dustry only, at any rate the industry is added to the national stock. It is true that a source of consumption is likewise superaded ; but sup posing it to counterbalance the advantage, there is no diminution of revenue while the moral and political strength of the country is actually augmented.” [Say's l‘ol. Econ. Book It. Chap. X. Page 368.] In this short pas sage will be found the secret of om - country's unparalleled advancement in wealth and great ness. The foreigners who are now flocking to the country are precisely such as have always come to it—precisely such as have contributed so largely to our growth in agriculture, com merce, manufactures, and the mechanic arts. Some who came hither paupers when I was a boy. died millionaries; many died possessed of large estates, and almost all of them died in easy circumstances. Few, very few compara tively. fell upon the parish. They enriched the country by the whole of their accumulations by just so much more than it would ever have pos sessed without them. Just so will it be with those who are now coming into this country.— If the amount expended in support of the help less, be compart'd with the amounts raised by the industry of the sound, for any three years together, the first would be to the last, less than one to a thousand. You would fling away the eagles to save the cents! You would retard the growth of the country a hundred years, to save land for your children upon which your children will not be permitted to enter, unless they will consent to commit the keeping if your graves, to their slaves! Splendid state men arc coming out of the Know Nothing Fac tory. truly I The last Massachusetts legisla ture exhibits to us the frabries of this machine in their highest perfection. In that body were tire and twenty preachers, (one fifth Methodists.) Christians many, and Know-Nothings almost all. Their nets need no comment. They will remain, burnt into the character of the State, in lines so deep and gangrenous, that even the offspring of the Hartford rebels, and murderers of Bacheldor, will sicken at the sight of them. These hierarchal Know Nothing legislators are your “brethren” in a double sense, and the nii | rabile signum “ that none but Americans should rule America 1” Do you not blush to Irater- I nize with such men? And can you believe that you are favoring your country or your church, in espousing their principles? But if these paupers be a nuisance, whom do they afflict ? Why Massachusetts, and her col leagues, in a war upon your constitutional rights and Christian characters. With these people j you could uot as Methodists harmonize. They drove you away from them, by insults and in justice insufferable—wept crocodile tears when they saw- you going—promised you a peaceful parting, and an outfit from the common fund’; and no sooner were your backs turned, than they denounced you as scismatics and sinners, cabbaged all the common property, and kept it until at the end of seven long years, they were forced to disgorge a part of it under the whip of the law. But as Know Nothings you can harmonize with them, join them in an onslaught upon Catholics and foreigners who have never injured you—nay who are your neighbors and friends—and even turn a cold shoulder to a na tive brother door whenhe protests against the mode of warfare! Verily if you did not re vive Catholic sins three hundred years’ old to justify your wrath against that Church, if you did not at times evince a higher regard for the sinners of your Order, than for the saints of your Church, and chafe at opposition to you from any quarter, I should regard yours as the master-institution of the world, for teaching men to forgive injuries, and love their ene mies. But however lawful it may be for your con fers to repel the poor from your borders it is NOT LAWFUL FOR YOU AND ME TO DO IT. Much less lawful is it for you to complot with sinners to terrify them from the land, when the laws al low them to come. Take care brethren. I be seech you, how you practice your Know Noth ing tactics upon this class of God’s creatures. They are under His peculiar care and He will hold you responsible, if you do not take them under yours likewise. In his vocabulary “the poor” means the poor of the world. So Paul understood it when he collected contributions in one county for the poor in another. So Christ teaches in the story of the good Samaritan.— “Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him. But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgement seats ? do they not blaspheme the name by which ye are called ?” “Blessed be ye poor ; for yours is the kingdom of God.” “But woe for ye that are rich ! for yo have received your consola tion.” Defend the poor and fatherles; do jus tice to the afflicted and needy.” “Deliver the poor and needy; rid them out of the hands of the wicked.” “He that oppresseth the poor reproaches his Maker.” “I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.” Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him.” “But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself.” But enough, your Know Nothing doctrine is di rectly the reverse of the Scripture doctrine in regard to foreigners, poor and rich. You are bound if need be, to go to the poor of distant lands with the gospel on your lips, and charity in your hearts for them. You are bound to do good to all them—to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and relieve the distressed, no mat ter where found, or where born. If this be true, you should rejoice that the poor abroad save you the trouble of going to them, by com ing to you. Let lawmakers exclude them if they will; but you have no business quitting your works to hunt up law-makers to do it.— Much less have you any business working un der cover with all sorts of character, to put down all law-makers, but those who will do it. I repeat it brethren take care how you trifle with this class of God’s creatures. If you have experiments to try in your Know Nothing lal>- oratory, take care that you do not put the souls of men in the crucible, or blow up your own souls. And what is your remedy for immigrant pau perism ? Why you will vote for no foreign er rich or poor fob office 1 Does this reme dy touch the disease, or even the person diseas ed ? Men come hither from Europe, sick and your medical colleges are going to cure them, by prescribing strict regimen to all the sound .who have come from the same country, through the first and second generations! If the state ment of sued a case does not shock your under standings, I pray you in mercy to yourselves, and for the honor of Methodism, surrender your parchments forthwith. You are cither gulled, or you pretend to be, and in either case, you wound the character of our church, 1 am pained for the future destiny of our Heaven-blessed country, when 1 see that the daring author of this non sense should have succeeded so well. Turn if you please to Bascom’s sermons, (page 288) and read the letter which prefaces the ser mon beginning at that page. Many of you, with me, heard it preached at the first General Conference of the Methodist Church, South.— We all admired it, but we did not know the in tent with which it was delivered. He explains it in the introductory letter, from which the fol lowing is an extract: “ ’rhe many virtues and Christian death of your son, not to overlook the, noble charity he founded, by requesting and obtaining from his father twenty thousand dollars, with the addi tion of suitable grounds for the establishment of an Orphan Asylum in his native city” (Peters burg, Va.) “must be to you, sources of consola tion beyond any earth can oiler. The following thoughts on death may enhance your estimate of this &c. For these reasons &c. I ask permis sion, my dear Madam, to dedicate this discourse to you.” He had previously said, that it was intended to oiler consolation to the mother’s af flicted bosom, under her then recent bereave ment. The father of that noble son, is one of the loveliest specimens of the Christian character that 1 ever saw. I have it upon credible authority, that the magnificent donation mentioned by Bascom, is only about double the sum which he gives every year to benevolent purposes; and “when he doetb alms he lets not his left hand kuow what his right hand doeth.” He will be offended at this exposure of his virtues I know ; but he will pardon it I trust, when 1 assure him it is made only to save his Church from peril, and her ministry from discredit. That man is a naturalized foreigner. If that man were a can didate for an office requiring special trust and confidence —if he were a candidate for any office —you would vote for the most abandoned pro fligate in the land in preference to him. Y our vows to that effect are registered in heaven.— Nay he was recently a candidate for a petty office in his city and I suppose Methodist Know- Nothings, perhaps preachers, walked round that Asylum and over those consecrated grounds, to vote for some competor of his. at the right of whom Religion would start and charity shriek, “But have we uot a right to vote as we please?” N o gentlemen, you surrendered tlie right when you joined tlie Know Nothings; and 1 am amazed that you’made the surrender: for when you did that, your virtually acknowledged yourselves incompetent to advocate any men or any measures. You can advocate the claims of no man. because you do not know that you will lie permitted to vote for him yourselves: and no measures, because you have none. .1 beautiful predicament for a freeman to place himself m." When a preacher votes it is to be pre sumed that he votes conscientiously and upon principle, but you vote as you are ortler ed, and only aecor to a mans birth place.— “Know ye not to whom ye yield yourselves ser vants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.” “But we love the brother though we cannot vote for the man. Y’ou do What a stupendous ex hibition of moral sublimity ? What a beanti ■ ful conbination of religion and patriotism? It lacks but three things to make it perfect: First Religion demands that you not only love your brother, but that you do nothing to foretell his ovetoyou. Secondly. Patriotism demands that you always vote for the most trust-worthy.— And thirdly, “am— not" should refer to con science. and uot to a grutitudious oath. I pro ceed to to the next head : By concession all who come into the country ' ore uot only paupers, but Catholics. Suppose . they were Methodist would you object? Cer tainly not —Then you would determine every ■ foreigner's privilege to come to the country, by his religion, would you? And do you not per ceive that this rule would be imprueiible if you had all power in you own hands? Why then do you mislead the people by crying out against the influx of Catholiees, as though your pary could and would stop it, if they were in author ity?—And why are you doing this when, con fessedly. you do not intend to exclude foreigners ; of any name; but only to keep them out of of fice? Y’ou dare not say that you mean toexclude foreigners altogether, and therefore, you play a game in such away as to catch all who wish them excluded entirely, without ofieitding those who do not. Y'ou, -no office’ in your plat form, and xo ingress" in you speeches: anil use one, or the other, or neither, as best suits your purposes. Does all this comport with sinceri- 1 ty? But surely brethren, one short y ear’s fel lowship with your new companions, has not taught yon to hate Catholics—the men. "Oh,, no; we love the men but hate, their religion."— ! Say “love the men but oppose some articles of their creed," and I am with you heart and hand 'But to hate their religion, which they adorn just at this time, much more than you do.— “No man that warreth” says Paul, “entangletli himself with the affairs of this life." The Catholic priest obeys this precept strictly. But where are you? (Some of you at least?) Gandi-1 dates for this, that and the other office—going ; from beat to beat, and county to county, stump-; ing it for votes —haranguing the multitude i amidst thumps and screams and yells—firming ! at opposition, and almost coining' to blows— i telling vulgar anecdotes—suppressingtruth—en-! couraging, if not spreading falsehood. These things are not done in a corner: and if any Bishop any Elder, any Deacon, any Brother, any Press of our Church, has raised a warning voice against the, except my poor solitary self, and one old brother more. I have vet to learn who, when or where? From the holiest chamber of my soul, I lift a prayer to God to have mercy upon us, anil save our Church from degradation and ruin. • Brethren lam not near done with you; but I must stop. My powers of calm dis cussion are suspended. My heart and my eyes take up the cause of my periled Church, in ut terances which you might appreciate, but which I cannot expose to the ridicule of an unfeeling world. A. B. LONGSTREET. Yellow Fever at Norfolk and Portsmouth. The Board of Health of Norfolk, for the 24 hours ending Thursday at 2 P. M., report 9 deaths A resolution was passed by the Board, that a resident physical! should be appointed to attend the Hospital at Lambert’s Point; that he have full and equal powers with the attending physi cians, and shall co-operate with attending physi cians, and during their absence exercise proper po lice authority in all cases were it may be proper to interfere ; and that the emoluments of the resi dent physicians shall be the same as the attending physical!, and that Dr. Wm. M. Wilson heap pointed the resident physician, and be informal of his appointment by the Secretary. It was ordered that the practice of ringing (ex cept for fire) or tolling the fire bell, be suspended during the pending sickness. A book has been opened at the office of tlie Howard Association, over the store of Noah Walker & Co., corner of Main and Talbot streets, for the purpose of registering the names of per sons, desirous of being removal to the hospital. Notice had been given by Rev. Mr. McClel land, that the Methodist Church would be open for service every afternoon at 5 o'clock. Miss Lucy E. Andrews, ofSyracus, N. Y., ar rived in Norfolk Thursday morning, and tender ed her services to his Honor, the Mayor, as a nurse in the Hospital. Miss A. is a very pretty young lady. His Honor promptly accepted her services, and as promptly escorted her down to Julappi, where she was duly installed. Miss A. made a contribution to the Howard fund. Dr. Sylvester, whose name occurs in the list of deaths, was one of the most prominent physicians of Norfolk. The Philadelphia Steam Packet Company have made the very liberal donation of .S6OO to the Howard Association. The editor of the Norfolk Argus dose not think the people of Norfolk will receive the money subscribed for their relief by persons who have cut off communication with them. In Baltimore §2,510 has been subscribed, and Mr. & Mrs. Charles Howard, under the manage ment of John T. Ford, were to give a perform ance for the benefit of the sufferers. Dr. Waren Stone, a celebrated physician of N. Orleancs, had arrival in Portsmouth to prac tice among the yellow fever patients. Captain Eilas Guy, chief of the Norfolk police, was down with the fever. M. J. Burns, one of the carriel's of the Ports mouth Transcript 1 has fled from the fever, and left the following curious note for publication: If any of my subscribers wish to take the papers from any one else they can do so until 1 return, at which time I will be thankful to re ceive their patronage again. If I live, 1 will re turn and be as prompt to my duties as ever. If I die, 1 remain your obedient servant. M.J. Burns. A letter received in Richmond yesterday fro m Portsmouth says there was no new cases there Thursday. Dr. Schoolfield was improving. Benjamin W. Palmer, a clerk in the Purser’s office of the Gosport Navy Yard, residing iin Portsmouth, is sick with the fever. Latest.—We have the following distressing information by telegreph from Petersburg. S. S. Stubbs, former Mayor of Norfolk, and family are down with the fever. The fever is still raging in Norfolk’ and si large number of the Irish residents are falling victims. The accounts from Portsmouth are still more distressing. There were ten deaths there Thurs day and between 25 and 30 new eases. Two of the police are dead and the third is down with the fever. Capt. Barron,® daughter, before reportal sll, is dead. The distress prevailing in tlie town is represent ed as heartrendsng. Tlie Shocking Accident on the Boston Railroad. It has been stated that Mr. D. Taft, of Char leston, S. C.. a passenger in the train from Bos ton to Albany, met with a shocking accident on the 13th instant. The Albany Argus says : The train was eoming’down the grade at a high rate of speed, and when passing a freight car which was standing switch track—tlie freight cat having swing doors—the entire side of the sec ond passenger ear was taken off as neatly and thoroughly as it could have been done with a saw Mr. Taft, who was sitting with his elbow resting on the window .sill, lost his arm, it hav ing been cut off twice, below and above the el bow. A German also had his ann-tame broken in such a manner that it protrudal through the flesh. So instantaneous was the work of destruction done that it was not until the Gain arrival at K inderhook that the conductor was aware that any accident had happenal. Several lady ]>as sengers on the train, with considerable mana nimity, stripped ofi their superfluous linen, w ith which to bind up the arm Mr. Taft, who came j ou to this city. The portion of tlie arm o tMr. T. which was cut off was found the next day and taken to Al- i bany. Mr. T. is said to have borne his suffer- ’ ings with extraordinary fortitutde. The blood at first flowal in torrents from the wound, but a physician, who happenal to be a passenger soon bound it up. The Argus adds: This accident is represented by those witness ing it as one of tlie most remarkable in rail road experiences, and explains the newssary for steict compliance with the railroad rule to keep within the inclosures of the cars. Bnt while this is cx]>ected of the passengers, it is also re : qnired of the railroad companies that the doors ’ at the sides of their ears shall not be hung on : hinges so as to swing. Had this requirement i been compiied with this accident would not have - happenal. Mr. Mills G. Godwin, a compositor in the Richmond Dispatch office, has lost during the I prevalence of the fever at Gosport, a father, - mother, aunt, sister, brother, brother-in-law. '" nephew, and cousin, all of whom were residents I of that place. Daniel YVebstcrand Sidney Smith. During Mr. Webster's visit in Em land In made the acquaintance of Bev. Sikney Surin. Smith. The latter introducal him to Lord Biiocoil\M. and accident.dl\ presented him a ; Henry Clay. The Incident was menliriii.ul at the time in this country and was attributed to Smith's love of a joke. I h aring of this repoi l. Mr. Smith wrote to Mr. Webster denying and explaining the mistake. Mr. Webster wrote in reply the following : Washington. 1.“4i. My Dear Siu : Though exceedingly d. mill ed to hear from you. I uni yet much pained by the contents of your note: not so much liowev er, as 1 should be were I not able to give a peremptory denial to the incident to which you refer as a joke of yours: far from it ; nor did I mention it as any thing extraordinary. My dear good' friend, do not think me. such an as to quote or refer to any incident falling out between you and me to your disad vantage. The pleasure of your acquaintance is one of the jewels 1 brought home with me.-- I hail read of you and read you for thirty years. 1 was delighted to meet yon. and to have ail I know of you refreshed and brightened by the clijirms of your conversation. If any son of asserts that, either through ill-will or love of vulgar gossip, 1 tell such things of you as you suppose, I pray you let him be knocked down instanter: and be assured, my dear sir. 1 never spoke of you in my life but with gratitude. • respad. and attachment. D. Wehstek. To this Mr. Smith wrote in answer: Many thanks, my dear sir, for your oblige ing letter. I think better of myself because you think well of me. If. in the imlieeility of old age. 1 forgot your name for one moment, the history of America will be more tenacious because you are using your eloquent wisdom to restrain the high spirit of your countrymen within the limit s of just ice, and are securing to two kindred nations, who ought to admire and benefit each other, the blessings of peace. I low can great talent be applied to nobler ends, and what existence am be more more truly splen did ? Ever sincerely, yours, Sidney Smith. Assyrian Antiquities. Byron complained of our scant knowledge of Assyrian life. His gorgeous drama of “Sarda napalus”—the conception of the hero, and the moral setting of the play—rose out of the poet's mind rather than from known materials. The scene was a creation. Thirty-five years ha ve passal, and, thanks to Rawlinson and Layard. the English Court as with that of Egypt. Our knowledge, too, is daily deepening. Among the many curious illustrations of Assyrian life brought home by Col. Rawlinson from the East, and now on view at the British Museum —where they have been visited during the week by the Majesty of England—are, an alabaster vase, containing some remains of sweetmeats, various objects in gold and ivory, part of the throne of Sardanapalus, many inscriptions relating to the deeds of men celebrated in secular and sacred history—such as Nebucahdnezzar. Sardanapa lus. and Tiglath-Pileser—gems and other per sonal ornaments; together with a series of draw ings, made by artists on tlie spot, from slabs impossible to bring away from their ancient resting-places, representing the more heroic forms of antique relaxation—lion hunts ban quets, and the like. How strange to think of these spoils of the proud dynasty of Semiramis. after three thousand years, being visited in a London Museum by a lady who reigns in all feminine gentleness over a mightier empire than obeyed the “ancient beldame”—who from the ends of the earth stretched a lienignant sceptre over that very India from which the. successor of Ninus returned baffled and discomfited!— London Athenaum. Adventure with a Swordfish.—On Tues day last Captain Hernan Elridge, of the yacht Thorn, accompanied by a party of gentlemen consisting of Mr. Joseph F. Davis, of Boston : Charles T. Burgin, of Philadelphia; Samuel Jawrence, Joseph llayett, and Jas. YV. Coffin of Worcester, started on a swordfishing excur sion, on the South side of Muskeget. They succeeded in making fast to one large fellow, and hauled the boat to him to cut off his sword, but owing to the struggles of the fish the spade struck his body and cut out the iron which held him. Maddened by pain, the enraged fish retreated some distance, and then turning, made for the boat With prodigious velocity, making the wa ter foam around him. Just before reaching her, Captain Elridge threw an iron at him, and served to check his headway so much that he struck the boat but slightly, his sword going through but a few inches, and breaking off— Had the iron missed the fish, the boat must inevitably have been stoven,and all on board left at tlie mercy of the waves several miles from land, with no other boat in sight. The fish was finally secured, and the gentle men of the party though thoroughly frightenal, were ready the next day for a sharking excur sion, with Captain Eldridge, in his beautiful yacht, when they succeeded in hooking eight or ten of these voracious monsters, but only naval two of them, one of which a ground shark, measured eleven, and the other, a blue dog, ten feet in length.— Nantucket Mirror. Weather and Crops is Texas.—The Gal veston Civilian, in its commercial article, dated 9th inst., says: We have reports of heavy rains in most sec tions of tlie country, and if the crop of cotton has not, as far as we have learned, been injured materially, picking has been prevented'and retar dal. Uroni both tlie Brazos and the Trinity we: have advices of a rise, and it is supposai that! several of the steamers are moving now. But I little benefit can at his late season be derival' from it. Waither at this point has been stormy and ! we have had daill heavy showers of rain. A | success of such weather in the country must bo I disastrious to cotton crops. The state of health in Galveston is perfectly satisfactory. There is no fever of any kind prevalent here at pres ent. The Present Aspect of Affairs.—The following, from the Louisville Democrat, of the 10th, gives a painful picture of the condition of' affairs in that city since the riot: “We learn that the upper part of the city! presents a strange spectacle at night. Every- j thing is as still as death—no stir upon the) streets—not even from one neighbor’s house to j another. The reign of terror is completely es-1 tablishal. All confidence between neighbors I nnd friends is broken up. and the houses are I darkenal and closal. with the hope that the) very stillness and silence within will secure! safety. Think of this, citizens of Lonisvile.—l Should such things be? No. How natural! then, to took to the causes of these marvellous changes. Behold the sad effects of political! excitement. Say that in the ordinary conibina-: tion of parties such could be. and you at once) belie the experience of all the past." Minister toCatna.—W isiiinc.tox.

The siege of Kars was unchangal. Fagunrog and Berkiausk have ba>n again successfully bombarded. The report of the bombardment of Ravel pro bably grew out of a rumor that the fleet is as sembling in the Baltic to atteck I lelsingford. It is said, but still doubted, that Spain will furnish 25,000, and Portugal 10,000 troops in the pay of the Allies. The general news is not satisfactory. Second Despatch.

Population of the State of New York— The New York Express, of Saturday last, says: ••’rhe New Y’ork State Census will not present the grand aggregate at first anticipated. From actual returns, thus far reported, it will proba bly not exceed 3,450,000, all told, or a gain of about seven and a half per cent, in five years. The falling off is very large in some of the agri cultural counties.” • pickpockets of New Y’ork did a brisk business on Broadway on Saturday evening.

Last summer she was prost ratal with lightting, and upon recovering, fopnd her sight entirely restored. The occurrence suggests to the writer the probable efficiency of electricity in ease of blindness. The News.—The accounts by the America state that the Allies have raised the siege, but we are disposal to doubt the fact, for the reason that if such a step had been detenninal on we would be apt to hear of serious consequences ) resulting from it. It is not likely that the Allies j have precipitately abandoned their position ) while tta-y had the strength to hold it. nnd if j they have been forced to retire, it is equally im ) probable that the Russians have permittai them )todo so without molestation. We have always I * thought that if the Allies failed to take Setais ! topol that they would find more difficulty in get-' ) ting out than they encomitered in getting into the I ( 'rimea.

Atlanta, August 18 d3tn WANTED, 20,000 Subscribers! NEW PKOSPECTI OF TUK ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER A New Southern Enterprise! SUBSCRIPTION ONLY One Dollar per annum. The Wsekly E.XAMUtsn will after the first day of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, puya able invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor of this paper to embark in an enterprise never Ire fore attempted in the South, and which han proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery States North and West, but has received a pat ronage in the Slave States, that had better bacon fined, though at greater expense, to the South t*rn Press. To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we from and after the period designated will forward it to subscribers at one dollar, ;>er aiiniiin, and this will place it within the reach of the ix>or, as well os the rich. To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner will lie devoted. Our position in regard to the tlrst is already well understood. It is unnecessa ry, therefore, to say morn than that it sustains and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC ANTI KNOW’ NOT HING PARTY' of Georgia and the Union, to which the South can look, with confidence', to the maintenance of her rights, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transin i.wion of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken ot these, to make the EX AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe for weekly rstperx only. ' * Ihe Literary and Miscellaneous Department will also receive a large share of attention. During the session of our Legislature, one of the Editors will be present to report the proceed, ings of that Body, foi the Daily Examiner—these reports will bo transferred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history of the session. A correspondent to furnish the proceedings of Congress, and a New Y’ork correspondent, have also been engaged. In short, every thing that can reasonably be expected of /a weekly paper, will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam iner. A large and fine assortment of new type has been ordered, arid is now on its way from New York. We hope to receive it in time for our next week’s issue, when not only will the ap pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly improved, but a large quantity of reading matter will be added to both. In adventuringupon this novi enterprise—one so important to Georgia, and the South—the Pro. prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the first established paper in the State, or the South, with a large circulation, that has reduced its terms, that it may be within the reach of any man. As such.it is hoped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. We appeal then to the people to subscribe; particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun dreds, and wo will send you a large, well printed p iper equal in its every department,to any week- V Southern paper.
