Arrival of the Knoxville—wreck
at Sea.
The U. S. Mail Steamship Knoxville, Capt.
Ludlow, arrived at a late hour yesterday morn
ing, bringing latest intelligence from New York.
Names of passengers and consignees will be
found elsewhire. The following is from uer ma
rine report :
On the 4th fast., at 9 P. M., off' Hatteras
Shoal, exchanged signals with steamship Au
gusta, hence for New York. 11 P. M., 25
miles south of Hatteras, exchanged signals with
steamer State of Georgia, hence for Philadel
phia, sth fast., lat. 33* 04 N., lon. 78* 41 W.,
spoke brig Marcus from New. York for Darien.
Ga., and took from her Mrs. Cole (the cap
tain’s wife), Dr. C. Bom n;, a passenger, and
seven seamen, who were picked up from the
wreck of ship William Penn., of New Bedford,
from the Chinchas Islands, loaded with guano.
These persons had been on a fragment of the
wreck for sixteen hours without provisions or
water. The Wm. Penn struck on the shoal on
the morning of the 20th September, the ship
going to pieces. The whole number of [icrsons
on board was twenty five. The nine persons
were on the house top, and rescued by the brig
Marcus, nine others left on a raft, two were
drowned, and the others were on different frag
ments of the wreck not visible at the time of
rescue.
The following statement of one of the pas
sengers. handed in since the above was writ*
ten, gives a more detailed account of the
week :
About 4 o’clock on Monday evening, Oct. 1.
the brig Morcus. Capt. H. K. Eldridge, came
to the rescue of the wrecked; and to Capt. E.'s
assistance they owe their lives. The following
are the names of those picked up: Mrs. Mary
Cole (captain's wife), James Lehan, Hiram,
Bubois. Thomas Sedden. Chas. Betes, John C.
Thompson, T Gillmore, Joh H. Snow and Dr.
Cyras T. Bourne.
Those on the raft were—Benj. J. Wood,
George H. Hall, James Price, John George,
Burg: Jos. Derola, Charles H. Tifus, John
Steele, Thomas Salmon and Louis Fleetwood.
George Humphreys and Timothy Merlean
sunk in sight of the ship. Amert Fige and
Francis Wilson drifted off on a boat, and the
steward, it is supposed, was swept off the top
gallant forecastle. The Captain was last seen
on the mizzen mast.— Sav. Geor.
Ax INCIDENT IN THZ LIFE OP SILAZ WHIGHT.
—A friend, who was an old acquaintance of
the late Hon. Silas Wright, related to ns an
anecdote of that distinguished man, which he
received from his own lips, and as we have nev
er seen it in print, although it may have been,
we give it to our readers:
Mr. Wright left home at an early ago to
geek his fortune, having, byway of earthly pos
session, a flue horse, a saddle and bridle, and a
pair of saddle-bags, a small stock of clothing,
and five hundred dollars in money, which was
in bills, and was deposited in his saddle-bags.—
He took a western course, and in traveling one
day, he overtook a man with a wagon nd fur
niture, and an old span of horses, apparently
emigrating. There was nothing peculiarly at
tractive at first view in the person or equip
age, but, upon a closer inspection, Mr. Wright
discovered the daughter of the emigrant, a most
beautiful young lady, evidently relined and in
telligent. They journeyed onwards toward Ge
neva, chatting cosily together, when suddenly,
the old gentleman recollected that he wished to
get his money changed at the Geneva Bank,
and to enable him to reach that place before the
close of bank hours, ho proposed that young
Wright should take his seat beside the beauti
ful daughter, and allow him to mount Wright's
horse, and hasten forward.
Ardent, and half smitten by the charms of
the young lady, Silas accepted the proposition,
and, leaping from his horse, allowed the old
man to mount and make off with all his earthly
possessions, money included, without a thought.
Rapidly the hours of Thalaba went by while
these two young and gifted ones pursued their
course leisurely, it may be surmised, towards
their journey's destination.
Ou arriving at Geneva, young Wright drove
up to the principal tavern, left the lady, but
then for the first time a shade of anxiety cross- 1
cd his mind for the safety of his line l;>rsi and
money. He went to all the public houses, but
could hear of no such mon as he described ; tie
beat up to the quarters of the Cashier of the
Bank, and learned, to his additional concern,
that such a man had called at the Bnuk, en
deavored to get some money changed, which he
declined doing, as the notes he presented were
counterfeit! Our future statesman then came
to the conclusion that he had made a crooked
start in life about fifty dollars worth of old
furnitur . a dilapidated wagon, and a span of
worn out horses, for a new wardrobe, tine horse,
and five hundred dollars! Aye! but then there
was the very prstty daughter; but her he could
not keep as personal property, and without
monev he hardly wanted a wife. He was at
his wits end. and just concluded to make the
best of a bad bargain, when the old man made
his appearance with horse and money safe.
It turned out that the money which the Cash
ier thought to be counterfeit was not so, and
the mistake had given the old man the trouble
to go some distance to find an acquaintance
who might vouch for his respectability in case
of trouble, and this occasioned his mysterious
absence. In the sequel, the beautiful daughter
became the wife of the future statesman.
B®_The liability of Banks, in paving a
forged cheat upon it, has been established by
the Courts of both England and the United
States. The rule established is to this effect.■
If a Bank pays a check with a forged signature,
it cannot afterwards recover the amount from
the endorser, or from the party to whom it may
have been paid, although the latter may be able
to sustain the loss. The bank is bound to know
the signature of its own customers, and cannot
recover the amount paid on a forged check un
less there be collusion between the parties to the
check, or unless the Bank obtain (as it should) j
whenever there is any doubt as to the genuine
ness of the signature, a guarantee from the
payee.
A disputed case, the New York,Cour/er says,
arose in that city last month. A check on the
Sub-Treasury, drawn by a disbursing officer in
the West, was presented, with a signature so.
different from that of the drawer on tile, that
payment was refused, unless tin* banker here
who received it from his correspondent, would
guarantee the signature to be genuine. 1 his
the latter refused to do, although the demand
was perfectly reasonable, and the cheek was
protested for non-payment. In this ease the
cheek turned out to be genuine, but the Sub-
Treasury officers pursued the right course under
the circumstance knowing that, if fraudulent
and paid by them, the loss would fall upon them
individually.

Homcepatliy aud Yellow Fever.
Editor of Day Boole: .
My sole and my only object in going to Ports
mouth, is to collect facts, compare notes, and
learn more respecting yellow fever, so I can be
more useful to my fellow men and be prepared
for it next year, whorever it may appear, as it
is making gradual approaches North, and every
thing connected with it should excite interest,
especially to know the best and most success
ful treatment. Doctors disagree most strangely,
but there are facts and trutlis developed in ep
idemics which all the sophistry and old women’s
notions and theories of the M. D's., cannot bolt
out. This was the case with Dr. Leach of Mo
bile. Ninety of ono hundred if his patients
recovered, and he used the simplest means, and
I see it stated in the Richmond papers that the
most, succeesful treatment at Norfolk was that
of the homcepathic system.
The Norfolk correspondent of the Baltimore
American says;—
“The homcepathic physicians, of whom we
had three; Drs. Dompos, Hardy and Howe,
claim to have had great sucess in the treatment
of the disease, having cured nine to every one
they have lost. Drs. Howe and Campos had
the fever, and have rapidly recovered. Drs. Har
dg has yet escaped."
1 am astonished that literary men. business men.
and others seem so earless and unconcerned, and
leave all this buisness for docton to quarrel
about. There are rem idles for yellow fever as
for all other fevers. There are producing causes
also, independent or malaria and miasma, and
may be found fa the drugged liquors and pois
oned kinds so universally used among men.
Some of these brandies and wines arc so over
loaded with nox vermica, a deadly poison, that
many gentlemen, on drinking them, are immedi
ately taken sick, others have headache, some
burning and griping.
It is the poison in these liquors which pro
duces this, and am I bold to say there are a
thousand men ot respectability and irreproach
able veracity in New York city, who can con
firm thia statement, who will tell you they have
experienced these very sensations on drinking a
social glass, and never knew the cause. How
to test the truth of this declaration, you can
make the announcement and call for witnesses,
and see if you do not have plenty of them. Try
it, and so sure as men love truth and right, so
surely will they thank you for making the mat
ter known. Yours,
Henry B. Brewster.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
writing from O’ Fu lyn’s Bluffs, Platte River,
gives the following as his impressions of life on
the Prairies:
“I have now hail a taste of the plains, the very
appropriate and expressive name given to the
vast, but uninteresting prairies of the West,
and am therefore entitled to give my impressions
of them at least. To begin with, then, Ido not
belive that any man in his same mind, would
visit them the second time, unless he be a poor
devil of a soldier who is obliged to go where
ordered, or impelled by some powerful interest.
1 have frequently read of the delights of the
prairies, of the shady banks, of the purlin?
streams, of the camp fires surroun cd with buffa
lo meat, &e. &c., but it’s my conviction that
such things seldom or n vse exist, except in the
imagination of travelers.
“Here wc are, on the banks of one of the larg
est rivers that drain the prairies, and it is with
the utmost difficulty that we find water enough
to make toddies, or wood enough to boil our
coffee. In fact, if it were not for the buffalo
chips, we should often go coffeeless to bed, for
there are days after days that not a stick of wood
can be found. In truth, this Platte river is a
humbug. It is about dry, and a person can
cross it dry shod. lam told, however, that fa
the Spring it aspires to the dignity of a river,
but its shallow fr? tensions are easily fathomed,
for it can even then be forded at any point.
“The only occupant of these wastes that I
have yet seen, is the buffalo; but he, like the
negro's white man. is very unccrtain-for having
vast pasture grounds and being withal a migra
tory fellow, yon may wander the prairies for
months without meeting him. Fortunately, for
tnv stock of provision, we have been traveling
through them for some time. I have had
numerous encounters with them, but have gen
erally come off second best. The first I met
with cat rid off my balls in his body; and my
coat tail on his horns. Since then I Lave been
more cautious, but have made several narrow
escapes.
• I cannot close this hasty letter without record
ing my protest aginst the beauties and delights
so frequently claimed by enthusiastic young men
for the prairies. Erom one hundred miles east
of Fort Kearney to the foot of the Rocky Moun
tains, the land is entirely unprodact!ve'and unin
habitable. It belongs to the Buffalo aud the
wild Indian, and should be given up to them
entirely. No white man has any business here,
and it is only those who are foolish enough to
come into these wilds who are ever molested by
the Indians. The Platte Sioux, from their po
sition. are as effectively cut off from molesting
the white settlements as if they were fa the
moon.'

Commandment, to California
Vt Ives.
We have been shown a series of tea com
mandments, have been shown a series of te«
commandments, drawn up for California wives,
which occupy one page of a letter sheet, sent
from £1 Dorado. Some of them would answer
for this region quite as well as California, arid
we therefore copy :
Thou shalt not “put on airs” of self-impor
tance nor indulge in day dreams of extravv
gance, nor allow thy vanity and love of dress
to turn thy head, and unlit thee for the sober
duties of life, or make tiiee merely an expensive
toy and walking advertisement of the latest
fashions.
Thou shalt not consider it fashionable, clean
ly or economical, to sweep the street with SIOO
ureases—when at home thou considered thyself
fortunate to get calico—nor to promenade mud
dy sidewalks in long satin robes and bedrag
| gled underclothes; nor to wear jewels or flow
ers on thy head while thy feet go “flipety-click”
in buskin shoes run down at the heel, and
discover to strangers the holes in thy stock
ings.
Thou shalt not starve thyself and family 29
days out of 30, to feast thy circle and give a
party; nor by the pu r chase of expensive gew
gaws aud finery keep thyself and husband poor:
nor run up bills for frills and furbeloes. while
the dry goods merchants and thy husband are
at their wit's end how to pay their way, nor
spend hard earnings foolishly, nor lose a half
day shopping, to invest four bits. Neither
shalt thou devour all thy savings at cotillion
parties and balls; nor waste thy substance by
improvidence and neglect.
Thon shalt not substitute sour looks for thy
pickles; nor a fiery temper for stove-wood; nor
erose words for kindlings; nor trifling talk for
light bread; nor tart language for desert; nor
excuses for anything. Neither shalt thou serve
up cold looks or cold meals for breakfast; nor
scoldings and hard potatoes for dinner; nor
remains of the other two meals for supper—no,
not even on washing days. Neither shalt thou
allow hard feelings or unwashed dishea to accu
mulate; nor withhold either secrets or shirt but
tons from the bosom of thy husband, and never
omit little kindnesses of any kind.
Thou shalt not neglect to make thy perwon
and thy home attractive—that wlieu thy hus
band cometh from his daily toil, or basinets
care, thy cheering looks of loving welcome may
greet his footsteps at the cottage door, and
charm him into forgetfulness of ad but thee.—
And should he be unfortunate —as many are—
thou shalt not increase his sorrows—as many
do—by weeping and repining; but with all thy
m blest sympathy aud womanly love, seek to
lift the heavy burden from his manly heart; and
thus renewed, again to dare the rugged and
slippery sleep that leads to fortune and
ces»—believing “there's no such word as fail,'
while thou art near to cheer him on and share
with him the victory.
What a Newspaper does without reward.
—The result of my observation enables me to
state as a fact, that publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class of
men in the United States, who invest an equal
amount of labor, capital and thought. They
are expected to do more service for jess pay, to
stand more sponging and ‘dead-heading.’ to puff
and defend more people, and sorts of people,
without fee or hope of reward, than any other
class. They credit wider and longer; get oftener
cheater, suffer more pecuniary loss; aud are often
er the victim of misplaced confidence, than any
otlier calling in the community. People pay a
printer’s bill more reluctantly than any other.
It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on
a valuable newspaper, than ten on a useless
gewgaw; yet everybody avails himself of the
services of the editor’s and printer’s ink. How
many professional and political reputations and
fortunes have been created and sustained by
the friendly, thought unrequited pen of the edi
tor? How many embryo towns and pities have
been brought into notice and puffed into pros
perity by the prera? How many railroads, now
in successful operation, would nave foundered
but for the assistance of the ‘lever that -i.oves
the world;’ in short, what branch of American
industry or activity has not been promoted'
stimulated and defended by the press? And
who has tendered in more than a miserable pit
tance for ita mighty services? The bazars of
fashion and folly, the haunts of appetite and
dissipation. a,re thronged with an eager crowd,
bearing gold in their palms, and the commedi
ties there vended are sold at enormous profits,
though intrinsically worthless, and paid for with
scrupulous punctuality; while the counting
room of the newspaper is the seat ofjewfag, cheap
ening, trade, orders and pennies. It is made a
[Kiint of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not
of dishonor to repudiate a printer's bill.—Clevc

The Indiana Presbyterian, of the Cumber

pended the Rev. T. B. McCormick, one of their
ministers, repents, under the following charge
and specifications :
Charge—Unchristian conduct.
First Specification—For associating him
self with an association known as the under
ground railroad, whose avowed bufaness is
to assist slaves from slave to free territory.
Second Specification—For actually engag
ing in the business of assisting slaves in making
their escape from slaves to free territory, which
is contrary to the laws of the United States and
s atute I :ws of Indian*.
Several of the witnesses stated that Mr. M
had b“asted to them of the number of slaves he
had aided do escape, giving the names and places
iu Kentucky from which they had escaped, and
one of them testified that he had heard him say
that he had never denied belonging to the under
ground railroad, and that he had said in April, j
this year, iu speaking of tbe relativs numbers
taken to Liberia by colonization, and to Canada
by undergrouial railroad, that 10.000 had gone

The Telfoaph and the War.—One of the
most suggestive facta in connection with the

events were known in Paris aud London. The
news of Waterloo took a longer time to reach
the British capital than the news of the fall of
Sebastopol. The news of Moscow, Aboukir’and

month old respectively, on arriving at Paris. ]
But the intelligence of tlie capture of the Mala-!

Scaling Ti-rtibb. —The tortoise shell of com
merce is merely the scales that cover the bony
shield of tbe turtle. These soaks are 13 in
number, varying from an eighth to a quarter of
an inch in thickness. A large turtle will fun
nieli about eight pounds. To detach this sliell
from the living animal is a cruel process, which
it mode ray flesh creep to witness. The fishers
do not kill’ tlie turtles; did they do so, they in a
few years would exterminate them. When the
turtle is caught they fasten him, and cover his
back with dry Lares or grass, to which they
set fire, Tho heat causes the plates to sepcrate
at their joints. A large knife is then carefully
inserted horizontally beneath tiiem, aud the la
min® lifted from the back, care being taken not
to injure the shell by too much heat, nor to
force it off until tlie heat has tally prepared it
for separation. Many turtles die under this
; cruoi operation, but instancea are numerous in
which they hane been caught a second time,
with the outer coating produced: but fa such
cases, instead of 13 pieces, it is a single piece.

Important to Land Purchaser*. ;
Washington, Wednesday. Oct. 3.1855—Re»l
centlv the Commissioner of Indiau Adairs was ;
applied to for intonnation concerning the well
known “Carver Grant,” and as to whether the |
title from Carver is good, it being alleged that I
the Wandwisse Indians, in 1768 or 1767. con-:
vcvedTo him 100 miles square of land on the east ]
side of the Mississippi River, between tbe Falls '
of St. Anthony and Lake Pepin.
Some of this land has from time to time been |
sold, and bnt recently a speculator invested a i
thousand dollars in ft. But the commissioner
of Indian Affairs on the Ist inst. in reply to
tlie inquiry above alluded to, says the claim has
frequently been trffiire the Government, and de
cided by both the Legislative and Exectuive
brandies to be without merit, and that a title
from Carver to any portion of tho land is not j
worth as much as the parchmeut on which the
deed is written.
Pocndling at a Camc Meeting.—On Mon
day morning. Ist inst., some little children wan-'
dered out into tbe woods near the Methodfat I
Camp Meeting ground, at Mount Olivet meet ;
! ing bouse, near Pickensville, iu Pickens Dis-1
trict, and alrout one bundreil yards outside the:
range of tents, they found a new-boru infant by i
tbe side of an old loir, covered over with leaves ;
and trash. The child, when found, was suppo- i
re»d to be only a few honrs old, and from the!
i situation in which it was placed, it seem? to
I have been abandoned to perish unobserved.— !
] Such an occurrence is most rare in our country, i
: but it proves that there are among us. here and
: there worse than heathen hearts, "without nat
-1 ural affection,” and who, in this instance, reiect
I every appeal of the Gospel sounding in tLeir
ears.- Greenville Mountaineer.

has been purchased bv Dyer Pearl, the wee;
known broker of Nashville, and his .-on E. C.
Pearl, Cashier of tbe Union Bank at Chatta

change is contemplated in tlie affairs of the
i bank—it wii! be borne in mind that this!
instititution is operating under the Free bank- i
ing law of this State, and its issues are all |
secured by State bonds. The Messrs Pearl arc'
understock to Ixi men of capital, and of large
experience in the monetary affairs of our State

The Liqvor Law in Boston.—ln tlie Bos

juries, which had been out all night on Liquor

agree as to the constitutionality of the law.—
The District Attorney said they were the strong
est cases he h ad, and moved for a continuance
of all the eases to the next term, as there was
no prospect of getting a verdict. The Court
considered it useless to press the matter further
and postponed the cases. There has not yet
been a conviction under the now law in Boston.
Sickness in Pvlaski Countt, Go.—Never
in our recollection, says the Hawkinsville Her
ald, have we known so much sickness as prevails
at present in our county. For the past four
years ffawkinsvijle has beenremakably healthy
no town in Georgia, of its size as we have been
informed, could boast of little sickness—but we
have it from some of the oldest settlers in tbe
county, that they have never known as mm b

principally being intermitton and remitten.
Liberty Coc.nty Senator.—Wc Lear brief

on the American side, and a Temperance Dem
