PENNSYLVANIA ANO OHIO ELECTIONS. The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian of Wedner day, (received by State of Georgia) is deliriou with joy over the result of the elections in Pern sylvania and Ohio. We give a short extra: from its columns: THE VICTORY YESTERDAY. From all directions the news is pouring ii upon us of Democratic victories, and we are s bewildered with immense majorities and unborn ded enthusiasm, that we are unable to foot then up. Suffice it to say, the victory throughou the State is a complete one. one from which th. unholy alliance formed against the Democrae; will not soon recover. Pennsylvania now rides proudly and glori. oasly in the onward career of her greatness bearing upon her banner the glad tidings of i large majority for the undying principles o Democracy.

Dwtmigvs to th- amount of 53.100 were, sen t time ago, at Chicago, given to one Merring ton, for injuries sustained by the sidewalks 01 State street, being out ot repair, by a jury v that city. The Judge set aside the verdict, an the cans was remanded for trial. At the new trial the jurv were unable to agree. A Mi. Thompson, the city Attorney, then propose* to receive the verdict of the eleven agreeing ju rors, which proposition was accepted by th* plaintiff’s council—whea lo! and behold! th< verdict returned was 86.000 damages forth, plaintiff. Now here is a warning to ali municipal an thorities: but particularly should it be to thus* of our city of Atlanta. True, our city is young but it it is nevertheles flourishing, and its au thorities. are by no means ignorant of the pow er vested in them to fax the peop'e thereof, a w.dk. however, down White-hall Street, is not the thing it ought to be; and we would not be surprised, some day. to hear a verdict like that at Chicago, rendered by ajnry of onr own pit tens. iu favor of some poor devil with a broket leg, or a widow with nine children whose hus baud's nock was brasen by a tumble into on* of the numerous .lark cd’ani that snaaent the part of the town. Baltimore Election. The Municipal Election in Baltimore, passed off quietly on the 10th inst. The Anti-Know Nothing, Democratic Party triumphed over their adversaries by a large majority. The Know Nothings had a majority, in that city last year, of 2,700 votes. Twelve democrats and eight “Americans” have been elected. The Legislature. On the first Monday in next month, the Leg islature of our State will assemble at Milledge ville. With its political complexion our read ers are already acquainted ; and a glance at the names of those who will compose both branches thereof, will satisfy the people that they have placed a responsible trust, in competent hands. Much, then, will’lie expected of that Body as a whole ; but much more of responsibility will de volve upon our political friends, for they will be in a decided majority. In all legislative assem blies it is to that party having the majority that the eyes of the people are turned; it is they who will be held responsible for all the evils, that flow from unwise legislation. True, a minority can frequently defeat the wisest measures for the State. When they do this, however, it must be an incompetent majority who cannot plainly demonstrate so important a fact to the people, and we care little, therefore, for that -vent of spleen” sometimes indulged in by mi. norities, because of the defeat of their party, or any other unworthy cause. We will not how ever anticipate any such disposition, or course in the minority party of our Legislature. Our intention here, is a far different one. It is ti inpress upon our political friends in the Legis lature, the position they will occupy before tin people, and to say to them they must prepare ■hemselves for a most important work. Meas ures decided upon, should, with all prompt de spatch, be carried out. There should be ni waste of time, nor should there be hasty legis. ’ation. Between the Executive and the Legis ative branches of the Government, thereshouh be a cordial co-operation, the public good beinj. he paramount consideration. To the financia condition of our State—to our great work o Internal Improvement, the Western & Atlantii Rail Road ; to taxation ; to reform in our ju liciary system ; to the Penitentiary of the Stat< md its location ; to our Banking System am ts aliuses; to developing the resources of Geor ria, and encouraging their development by th* ■apital and labor of our people; the Legisla ure should at once direct its attention. Th* itiblic good demands it, and, assuming th* ■esponsibility, we trust our friends in power wi ] lereafter, in all their acts, be sustained by th*, ipproving voice of the people. The Commissioners under legislative resolutions by he Governor’s of Tennessee and Georgia—Di. fames A. Whiteside. Esq., of the former, an*. ,V. K. DeGraffenreid, Esq., of our own State— ve were advised, some time ago, met at Nash ville, to confer in relation to the law of Tei - lessee by which the Western & Atlantic Rai Road is subjected to suits in the Courts of Ten nessee. and to determine upon such terms of nt ;otiation and reciprocity as sbafi be acceptabk to both States. The Nashville Union & American of the 7tl nst., states that an informal conference was >eld at the Executive office on the 6th instant nd the Chattanooga Advertiser, says that, “The questions involved in the negotiatioi re understood to be of a delicate and highly •m-'rtnnt charncter. inve'vine* dennlvthe into* ia>tea of the citizens of the two Stat ej’n the r uuuereial intercourse lulu eacu ntuo'. ’lu i iestion of the jurisdictions of the Courts ot I'cnnessee over suits brought aginst the West rn <t Atlantic Rail Road in this State, is now •"dint** before onr Snprem*’ Court at Knoxvi' l la the case of McClung against that road carried oy uppeiu trom Biauiey county, in winch a ■idgemeut was rendered aginst the road for tei housand dollars, and is expected to be decide* n a few days.

We are pleased to see that there is som* irospect of settling a question of so importan ind delicate a character, and trust that thc d* ision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee wil •rove no barrier to it. The State Road ha uffered in more respects than one on account o here suits, and the commercial interests of th eople of the two States have been interrupts o an extent not generally known, or undei good. We hope, therefore, at Milledgeville, he Commissioners will agree.upon terms sati.- ,’actory to both States. [COMMUNICATED.] The Supreme Court. Messrs.

One bitter evening in December, 1848, if you had walked in the neighborhood of , , you might have seen a ruined hovel, roofless and * ■ cierted: the former inhabitants had gone to , America. Enter through that breach which , was once a door, and you will see a few furze bushes placed on two sticks, aud propped up against the wall so as to make a kind of shel ter in the corner. A few dried leaves, sticks and grass are kindled there, near it on some ‘“-I straw lies a creature that resembles a wo man, but so wasted by famine, sickness, and misery, that they only who see such sights of ten could bear to behold ; four children, from the ages of one month to six years are huddled close to her. Sitting on the damp, cold ground, his head leaning on his knees, is a man, evident ly once of a herculean frame: but now observe him—his figure like the woman’s is a living skeleton, the face of a bluish tinge, the lips col orless, the eye-balls seem to start from their sockets, and are red and filmy, the fingers which bv t’leir shape, yon co ild perceive had once a giant’s strength are perfectly transparent, even the smaller blood vessels are distinguishable, and are of a pale pink color. At last the wo man raises herself up with effort, and parts her lips to speak, but no sound comes forth—her husband disturbed from bis gloomy reverie by the slight noise looks towards her, and a gleam of light comes from her corpse-like eyes, the light of love and tenderness—for poverty has but drawn closer together these hearts which for eight long weary years, have never ceased to love. Permit me to tell you the history of these eight years. Patrick Doogan inherited from his father a farm of twenty acres of good land, he married when twenty-five Mary Conner, a neighbor's daughter. She brought no dower but *ier beauty, no riches but her virtue and her love—this is that woman bowed down by woe. But I remember her when she was the fairest •girl in the barony, with a tali, fine figure, soft black eyes, and a grace and dignity about her which a Countess might envy. Every year brought some new misfortune; the potato blight ind bad markets, an absentee landlord, a hard agent, and a fever, were too many evils for a poor man to bear. The quarter day came round ind Patrick Doogan had not the rent complete* hen he, his wife, and his little ones, were turned out to starve. The walls of his once happy home were razed to the ground, that night they slept on the ditch-side, but they were happy still, for were they not together ? They walked all the next day. getting a fen mouthfuls of food from the people as they pas red along. That night, a cold one. too, one ot the children died—it was a sickly one, but was it not the more loved on that account ? On, on they travelled—their gaol, the work-house, some forty miles distant. Two more children died.— The priest of the parish through which they were passing provided a coffin for one, but the next day when they were far, faraway, theoth er died; so they were compelled to lay her down by the road side not being able to dig a grave—but they prayed for her soul, and surely they were heard. Soon after they came to this ruin, where Mary laid down never to rise again, they were still five miles from their destination Chat day the man crawled to the relief depot t* obtain some food, but the despair pictured in .iis face on his return told his wife that then was none. He has given her a drink from that broker cup, and she revives,—-Patrick dear,” said she ‘when my poor baby died I felt that I’d sooi follow her; but you, acushla! you must live l-*r the children's sake, God knows I mean n* sin, but shure it would be better for us all t> lie.” He bowed his head and convulsive sob □book his frame, at last he replied: “Mary navourneen, it would be bether as you say— sn't it God's will?—so try to keep up youi leart, dear, for who knows but God will sen* something yet.” “No, Pat,” said Mary, sove lemently that her husband looked surprised -no it’s not God's will—we do no harm t* friend nor foe, and God does’nt punish the in locent. No it’s English laws that’s brough is here, and they will be rewarded—it isn't u done, neither—look every where, isn't even me dying bit by bit? Didn’t you see, your *elf, hundreds crawl from the Relief Stores ha! nail—and was that God’s will! Oh! Patrie! lear! my brain is burning; I’m not for thi '■orld long, and Jemmy, too, feel his cold hand.** *h, wirrastrue, wirrastrne! my ow’n love, Jeni ny dear wake up, wake up and spake to me mt one word, only one—just say Mamma t* ne, acushla machree! Ah, no! he’s cold—bu I’ll see you soon darling—yes soon!" Mary sank hack exhausted, and in less thai in hour afterwards Patrick stretched her besid* his first born, and he felt that all he loved wa rone—yes, for the other two children were al nost gone. The father after his melanchoh task left the hut telling them he would returi s ion, the two children looked into each other' aces and sighed a heart-broken sigh as the* hought of their little sistersand brothers, an* heir dear, dead mother, too. But let us re urn to their doomed father. He took his wa' with a last hope to the neighboring cabin, h* •pens the door, a feeble moan salutes him—th* ather. the mother, all are dead ! An infan mly survives, the warmth of its scarce col* nother has kept it alive—but. oh ! look at it limy eye? and dewy brain! Pat Doogan glan •es around, his hopes are vain. No food, no ■em’jlance of food, seems to have entered tha vretched abode. He is turning away when h ees a few grains of Indian meal, which the w* - nan was evidently chewing when death relea.- *1 her from suffering, he snatches them from of he squalid coverlet, and rushes t* his two dea ittle children. There had been a time, and tha tot long past, when Patrick had only entcre* hat abode ot misery to perform the last offi.. o the unhappy inmates, but now all his hop* ire centered on a mouthful of food ! He think igain of the relief depot, and starts in that d’ •ection, after walking with quick feverish step or about a quarter of a mile, his false strengt’ ’ irsakes him. his feet feel as if weighs were at ached to them. His face becomes deadly white: his head fail orward, and he sinks, in the last agonies o leath. on the road side. Did sable plumes wav, iver his corpse? Did a costly pall cover hi •maciated remains ? Did the prayers and tear •f loved ones follow him to the cold, dam: .wave? No : that would have been much to rood for an Irish Peasant. Notevena grav* •r a coffin is granted him—not even the luxur ■f seeing his dear wife and children round hi leath bed I But. “the last estate of that man i vorse than the first” the dogs devour him!— A’ho has done all this ? Irish men and men o' .rish birth, who? Ask an Irish felon;he wil ell, in words more eloquent and wise, than 1 can. I have told a true tale. Now friends of Ireland everywhere, shall you stand still with folded arms and suffer a renewal of these scenes of cold-blooded murder and starva tion ? Answer we, no ! Then unite and make good this golden opportunity to establish justice and liberty in your father land. But, say some, “perhaps such will never be the condition of the people of Ireland again.” I answer it will, and that very soon I Where will the expenses o the war that is now waging by your iuveterate enemy come from ? I answer from the Irish tenant by direct taxation. What then the con sequences of such an event? Wretchness, hun ger, starvation and fam'-ne. Fellow Irishmen in Georgia waste not a single moment but charge home on the brutal and heartless ’foe of your race. k “Oh! for tha swords of former ’imea.

Editors In the Examiner of the 10th inst., I see an extract from the Day Book, setting forth the claims of the Homeopathic sys tem of medicine in the treatment of yellow fever. Now, through your inestimable paper, I wish to state a few facts, simply in commendation of another system of medicine, and let the facts commend themselves to the public, and then we shall see if Medical Reform has not claims in the cure of yellow fever, “which all the sophis try and old women’s notions, and theories of M. D’s cannot bolt out.” Ido not mean any dis paragement to Homeopathy in the few remark? I shall make, nor do I wish to detract ym the well earned fame of those gallant meffw£ Nor folk. Indeed, I fully agree with in believing, “there are remedies forjrellow fevei as for all other fevers, and that there are produ cing causes independent of malaria and miasma, and that “some of these producing cause mat be found in drugged liquors, X-e" And. I als< ■ firmly believe, the principle can® why the dis ■ ease has always been so fatal nn®r Allopathy': treatment, is because her patients wre literal!; I crammed to death with mercury anoHther poi i sonous drugs. Between the two, therefore. Ibe I lieve Homoepathy is superior to .VWbpathy, i ■ from no other cause, from the fact nrerely tha ■ she gives only a very little. But both are s< * frail and imperfect they sink into utter insignif icance in comparison to the beautiful fabric o Medical Reform. The writer of the article above refejp'ed to in speaking of Dr. Leach, of Mobile. says*ffinety ■ of one hundred of his patients recovered,” and again in an extract from the Baltimore Ameri can says, “Drs. Dompas, Hardy and Howe i claim to have had great success in the treatment * of this disease, having cured nine to every one they lost. Wonderful success, doubtless, when compared to the purging, poisoning, treat ment of Allopathy. But let us see how it com pares with the “success” of Medical Reform.. Eve ry one recollects the sweeping epidemic of Sa vannah last year ; never in the annals of histo ry was the fatality of that doomed city equaled —but, yet, we will see what Medical Reform lid even there when Allopathy, and Homeo pathy combined, did not save one in ten. We see Dr. Stotesbury, a graduate of Southern Botanico Medical College—and a true Reform Physician— when the disease was at its height plunging himself into the midst of this mael strom of death—and with a ‘success’ unparal leled in the cure of that dreadful epidemic— ■ out of one hundred and forty cases wholly and ' partly treated by the Dr., only seven died and reveral of these were considered hopeless when first seen and one or two of advanced age and much prostrated by chronic disease, and out of me hundred eases treated exclusively by Dr. Stotesbury only two died." In proof of the un oaralleled success of Dr. Stotesbury I append he following extract from the Medical Refor mer 4 Review of October 1854. Dr. Stotesbury vs. Yellow Fever. Our profession may not generally know that !)r. Peter Stotesbury, one of our old and firm ■eform practitioners, upon hearing of the con inued fatality of the epidemic in Savannah, left ns home and a lucrative practice, some 40 niles above that city, and with his own outfit *f horses and buggy, and a servant, and an am •le supply of the right kind of Medicine, threw • i nisei f into the midst of the epidemic, goin? no in the midst of the storm, and offered his -ervices to the afflicted of that smitten city. The Dr. after some weeks constant practice vas attacked himself whereupon he retired near lis house and under his own prescriptioni, re ■overed so far ns to leave his room on the 7th lay after the attack. And byway of recruiting •is’ strength to enable him to return to his post if as aimed duty and charity, is now in this city, nd upon a personal conference with him and in examination of his books we learn the follow ng facts in relation to his successs, which evi lently places our mode of practice in advance if all’others known in this country in the treat nent of this fatal form of disease. Out of 14(1 ■uses wholy and partly treated by the Dr. only se ven die l , and several of these were considered •opeless when first seen, and one or two of advan *ed#ige ami much prostrated by chronic disease. And out of one hundred cases treated exclusive ly by Dr. Stotesbury, only two died. These f cts’ we ha ve from the Dr. in person, and we enow him to be a truthful man. AVe also have i list of the names of those treated. This would be great success even in the mild •nd ordinary forms of disease, but when the fa ality of the epidemic in Savannah is taken in o the account, it is unparalleled in the treatment ■f that disease, and speaks volumes in favor of mr system of practice. I may remark that the Dr. •onfined himself exclusively to the usual remedies md principles of our practice. For such a noble and daring risk of life, the p *ople of Savannah should ever feel gratefu.. md our profession proud. In conversation upon th’s point, tlie Dr. re narked that when he heard of the fatality of the lisease, he felt just like he had heard of the lami ng of a foreign enemy upon our soil, and was estless until he was on his way to attack it •lay be long live to do honor to his profession. B. That the people of Savannah fully appreci ate his tru'y noble conduct, is proven by the fol 'owing note, which he received from Hon. John E. Ward a short time after his return home. Savannah, Oct. 19. 1854. Da. P. Stotesbury.— Dear Sir:— l beg-you to accept the enclosed check for the sum ofTw. Hundred and Fifty Dollars as a small eompen ation for the valuable medical services rendered iv yu to the City of Savannah ’ Very respectfnllv vour ob'dt serv't. JOHN E. WARD, Mayor. Thus we see Medical Reform has c aims ii the cure of yellow fever which no other system . ver aspired to have. The unparagonel success of Dr. Stotesbury u Savannah, did not depend upon any chance •or on any extraordinary talent of the Dr. hin «lf (though, by the way. as a learned and sci ■ntific physician he is second to none in th* 'tate) but was merely the common sense course vhich would have been pursued by any othe* ntelligent Reformer. Any intelligent Reform Phvsician after completing his education at th* ooutbern RoAiucoMaLasi College, in Macon ■ would be just as capable of treating yellow ie* ver as Dr. Stotesbury, and would be just as sure 1 of success as the laws of nature are immutable. ) My only object in penning this article is to as- ’ sist in placing the sure and steadfast principles , of Medical Reform into proper light before the i people; for not only in the cure of yellow fever but in every other disease that “flesh is heir to” is Medical Reform paramount to every other system of medicine; far her theory of cure is based upon the eternal and immutable laws of God. We neither substitute a disease of an' other, of like nature, to cure; we leave no for eign poison in the system for the unfortunate victim to drag out a miserable existence, worse than death, but cure by following the indications of nature, the sure guide to health. Did cir cumstances allow, I would like to show wherein Medical Reform differs so widely from every other system of medicine, but they do not at present. W. J. 8. An Astounding Fraud. To the Editor of the Register : My at tention has been called to the subjoined article in the Louisville (Kentucky) Journal, of the 3d inst. Will yon pleas to insert it in the Regis ter, together with the following statement oi facts. Ou the fiirst day of this month the Bank o! Knoxville was sold by the Company with which I was connected, and transferred out of oui hands to a responsible firm in the city of Nash ville. Up to that day the Bank had issued notes of only three denominations—one, two and three dollars. A part of these notes are signed, “Wm. M. Churchwell. President, S. Morrow. Cashier” The others are signed “H A. M. White. Presideht. George M. White. Cashier,” and all are countersigned “Arth. R Crozier, Comptroller.” None others are genu ine. The Bank has not been robbed Noslo plate was ever in the possession of the Bank, nor was the existence of such a plate known to any in dividual connected with the institution, unles? it was known to M. W. Williams, who was al one time a stockholder in. and the President of the Bank, but who is now a refuge fromjus tice. lam also informed that certain spurious cer tificates of deposite, printed in style of the notes of the Bank, have been put in circulation in Cincinnati or its vicinity. The Bank has never ' issued anything of thesort.and the publicshould i beware of them.

"It has weakened in our citizens the love oi republican institutions, by familiarizing them with organizations subversive of republican principles. “It lias poisened society, and has difl’us'.d dis trust, suspicion, and hatred throughout the so cial circle, by administering oaths binding oi. the taker, even in his social “It has arrayed one portion of our fellow-cit izens in deadly and lasting hostility to the ottlio and has thereby planted the seeds of future riser and bloodshed. “It has checked the growth of liberty in Europe, by putting tn the mouths of its des pots arguments against the freedom and toler ance of republican institutions. “It has profaned the sacred home of religion, by an appeal to the weak and miserable pre judicns of faggot-burning fanaticism—violated in its letter and spirit the teachings of the Bi ble, scorned the ordinary promptings of a gen erous soul, the humanity and the feelings o! mercy. “It has taught men to think lightly of trea son to the general government, by administer ing oaths to violate the constitution, by the in troduction of religious _tests and the tests ol birthplace. “It has been false to the prosperity of the great West, by attempting to drive from our midst those enterprising men who have in part built its public works, tilled its fields, and been a controlling element of its rapid and astonish ing increase in wealth and population. “It has weakened the bonds of society and shaken our government to its very foundation, by the instigation of numerous and blood}' riots, repeated violations of the purity of the ballot box in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Kansas, the destruction of valuable property, the most atro cious murders of innocent men. and the burn in? in flames of weak and defenceless women and children. “It has struck a heavy blow at government, religion, society, morality, anil everything that honest men and republicans hold dear. “Such is the brief history of that short-lived but desperate organization—the Know Noth ing party. It is spnrneii in the bosom of every honest man. It lives in the fi’ars of every mother, and every child in the land can recount its horrors. History and tradition will hand down to posterity its intense iniquity. Its nam* will be Anathema. Let its misdei ils go down to succeeding generations in the condensed and expressive phrase. ‘Tlie infamy of Know Noth iugism.’ ” What Next. This is the question which the English pa pers are busily discussing. Having taken the south side of Sevastopol—what next? Shafi we hold on or let go? We have heard of a man holding a bear by the paws, with only u 'ree between, who debated in his own mind a precisely similar question. We never heard th* sequel. ’ Shall we hold on or let go ? A most important inquiry. H iving taken Sevastopol, the Allies are at a loss what to do wi h it. Should they take the whole Russian army prisoners, they would b< equally a' at a loss what to do with them They cannot feed them. Civi ization forbid that they should kill them. They rnn-t let then go. again to turn up at another Sevastopol. !• the meantime, the expenses of the war continue and increase, and on top of them must come ai immense additional expenditure for bread, cans •d bv short crops. We dare say that England and France, not withstanding the success at Sevastopol, would be willing to make pc-ace with the Russians on reasonable term’. But it may be doubted vhetber Russia is in as pliant a mood. The bear, robbed of its whelps, is rot the most amia ble of animals.*—RtcA Despatch. Mr. Mason at Norte Dame. We are not disposed to credit the statement, which we see in some of the newspapers, that Mr. Mason, our worthy and accomplished min ister to France, was in attendance in his repre sentative capacity at the lute Te Deum at No tre Dame, in Paris, in honor of the fall of Se As the representative of a neutral power, if seems to us impossible that Mr. Mason could have overlooked the impropriety of such an act so far as to comprumit his government by his attendance in his representative capacity. Ii i.s hardly to be supposed that he will allow the allusions to the occurrence in the public prints to pass without explanation, and, therefore, w* shall assume either that the statement of his at tendance is unfounded or that he has a plausi ble explana ion for whatever course he <lei*med it proper to pursue. It would be a coincidencr much lobe regretted if it should turn out that whilst Mr. Mason was giving additional eclat to the celebration of the fall of Sevastopol in Paris, the editor of the London Times should be inditing sentimentsand suggestions like tin following: “A few years ago the Americans seized a province of their weak neighbor; an all'ance ol France and England was projected, which, i* carried out. would have involved the Union it a long and dangerous struggle. The Russiatn occupied a similarly-situated territory; the alii .nice was comp ete, is most powerful, and may Inst to infere in the affairs of a trans-atlantk Turkey.” Our government has maintained a strict nett trality iu regard to the Eastern war, but oui |>eople cannot overlook such threats as tbosi made by Lord Clarendon and the Emperor Na poleon, and now repeated by the London Times, and they cannot fail to give a decided directioi to American sympathies. We repeat that w* diall regret exceedingly if Mr. Mason shall hav* forgotten the relation of strict neutrality t* which his government is committe in the man ner indicated in the newspapers; but, until mor ■ correctly advised, we look with confidence to n : satisfactory explanation of the occurrence. The Paris correspondent of the New Yorl < 'ontmercial Advertiser_refers to the subject a* follows : “Whilethe Danish. Swedish, Belgian, Bava t ian, Saxon, Wurtemberg, all the South Amer ican and other ministers, remained at home, a became the representatives of neutral thougl friendly governments, Mr. Mason, the represeii tatives of equally neutral and friendly Uriitei' Sta'.es, attend with the envoys from the allie* powers, and front such shilly-shallying States n* Austria and Prussia.

The Port of Hamburg—lts Commerce. &c. —A correspondent, writing from hambuiy Germany, under date of the sth ult., stab’s tha the direct imports to this port from the Unite* States show a great falling off from 1 ist season : ind that most American vessels brought cargoe. (mostly-sugars) from Cuba, destined via Pra da, for Russia. The exports have also beet much less than last year, but few America: vessels leaving for home ports direct—most <* them leaving in ballast for English ports t* load coal or iron. Several ships took, at lov rates, long charters to South American ports. The number of emigrants for the Unite* States from this port, it is said, will hardly l>. half as large as last year; and he adds: “Then lieing no Ameiacanshiping houses nt Hamburc I it will always be difficult for our flag, as tin regular Hamburg passenger lines must first bi filed, to participate fairly in this trade,” Col.
