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.

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.' Editorial Sanctum.—John G.

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?

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 to Liberia and 35,000 to Canada by under ground railroad.

The Telfoaph and the War.—One of the most suggestive facta in connection with the Eastern war is the use to which the telegraph, eminently an invention of peace, has le n put Iu the great European straggle, which ended with the exile of Napoleon. days and even weeks elajised before some of the mod important 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 the Pyrmids was a week, a fortnight and a , month old respectively, on arriving at Paris. ] But the intelligence of tlie capture of the Mala-! kofi was at the Tuileries and St. James, though , distant from gebastopol the length of an entire , continent, while the sky was still red with the I conflagration of the town; while the magazines were still exploding, while the retreating Rus sians were still thronging over the bridge. Al most. indeed, before the bombs ceased to hum through the heavens, or the hissing of the round i shot bad given way to the roar of burning houses, the people in London and Paris were shouting I over the victory, aud the church-bells of Eng ' land were clamoring from land’s end to land s ! end.

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.

Times Bank Change.—We learn from nn-;’’r*tion-; able authority that the “Bank of Knc-j.vii>." ! 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 nooga. We do not leorn that any special: 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 and we trust that we may soon have the pleas are of enroling their names on tlie list of the business men of our place. [Knoxville Reg. The Liqvor Law in Boston.—ln tlie Bos ton Municipal Court on Friday morning, two juries, which had been out all night on Liquor eases, came in aixl stated that they could not 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 bilious fever to exist as at this time, the type principally being intermitton and remitten. Liberty Coc.nty Senator.—Wc Lear brief ly from Liberty county, that Capt. Abiul Winn is elected to the Senate by a majority of ufteen votes. The contest between the parties was not. perhaps, warmer or closer >n any county in the State. With an influential competitor on the American side, and a Temperance Dem ocrat against him, and an intelligent constitu ency like that of eld Liberty, the result cannot but be flattering to the victor, as it is gratify ing to his numerous personal friends.—Jfar<rn nah News. Life's Changes.—The Lowell News says that there are n w : n ‘hat cilv two young Indies who were born in New Orleans in opulence, but. in consequence of death and reverses of fortune, were left not cnly or F kar.s bnt penniiess.

Kansas Election.—St. Ixiufa. Wednesday, j Oct. 3, 1855—We have dates to the 2d fast. I Returns from three counties show a heavy vote for Whitefield. pro-Slavery. for Congress. The Shawnee Indians supported the pro-Slavery ticket. Tlie entire vote of Johnson County was given for Whitefieid. In Leavenworth, White field hail 800 and Reeder 200. At Willow Spring. 100 votes were polled: all for pro-Slave ry candidates. Governor Shannon voted the p’ro-31avery ticket.

The statement that Marshal Radetzky is the ' old.st general in Europe is contradicted. That I distinction fa claimed by General Daipeaux. of i the French service, aged 94, who entered thear- ■ my in 1776, was appointed general of brigade I in 1793. and general of division in the following ! year, so that fie is a general of G1 years' s'-ind ; ing. while Marshal Radetzky. aged 89, is o I of 50 years’ standing. i Mr. P. F. Stanton, of Livingston Parish. | La., has a verv singular plant in his garden, i which seems to lie the connecting link between the animal and the vegetable world. The plant is about three fee! high, and its stamen reaches the ground. At the end it is armed witli a small sharp substance, with which it pierces in sects and lifts them into the calyx, where they are grasped by the plant aud appropriated to ; its support. "No secret.
