Fr, tke Charlso Courier. Adodenl oethe Georgia Rail Road lkandaen iat Hastburg-The Weather ec Crop,-We learm front a passenger wigreved he-o Satnrday last, from Ge in. that owThursday night last, about I Ioclock, the cars on the Georgia Rail Road, when btween four and six miles below Greensboro', ran offthe track, ma king a plunge of about twenty feet into a -ehasm,created by a wash in the embank most. The nigbt was very darl, and the cars were running at but a moderate speed when the accident occurred. The hag gage car was, it appears, ahead of the en .gne. and in it a passenger named Hayden a portrait painter-this car of course fell Brst, and after it came the engine. Mr. H. was severely scalded by the water from the bire*, and was otherwise so seriously imuju red that his life was despaired of. The en gineerbad one of his limbs broken, and one of the firemen was considerably brui sed. The engine and baggagc car receiv ed much damage, but fortunately no per sons injured, other than those referred to above. It is stated the country in that section ofGeorgia is inundated with water, and great damage to the crops will ofcourse -be the consequence. The Augusta Chraicle, of Saturday, re marks that the citizens of that place were quite abtonished, the preceding moruing, to learn that the river, which was the eve ning previous quite low, had during the night risen twenty feet, as no one had anti cipated such a sudden rise froma the recent rains. It continued to rise duringr the, day, and was rising slowly at night fall. Fears are, however, entertained that much damage has been done to the crops both above and below the city. The Wolowing extract of a lrter, receiv ed on Saturday, gives a statenenti of an other inundation in Hamburg: "AuGUSTA, Sept- 17. 1841. 'The present rise in the river is imimenee. The bridge keeper reports that tie river rose 20 feet from 12 o'clock to six this inor ning-it has been rising slowly all dty. but for the last two or three hours it has n.t risen over three inches. llamhurg truly looks like a doomed city-what.with their fre of Tuesday night, and now with the water within a fbot of flooding half their town, and over a great part of it. I vnas over there at 4 o'clock, and found most of them moving their goods to their lofts and .upby Maher&Roney,out towards the hill. The Council are hard at work embanking .the sides of the road to keep the back wa aer ouk, but all, I fear. if the water rises another foot, will be of no avail. We, on this side, as yet feel no alarm, although we fear to hear ofsenous damage up the coun try, as no can from the west catme in this morning; they are all due at 4 o'clock, and have not as yet arrived. It is feared that the Oconee Bridge may be carried a way. Should the river continue to rise. I fear we shall not be able to get this mail over." Yesterday, we were favored with the fellowing extract of a letter, ofrone day later *a date, fr Hambug: "HaNuao, Sept, 18. Wpain bat hw hoesoo have had their floors cover ed. Garmany & Maher's store is tie only oneoverfiowed, and I understand they have no gods injured. The water, at this timec, is thling, but suite slowly, say anm inch an bour. We are compelled to make use of .boats to get out of town. Almnost every one has had his goods removed." In reference to the weather, crops, &c., the Savannah Georgian of Saturday says : . "The Rice Planters ini thme vicinity have we rear suffered materially by the high tides of Wednesday and Th'lursday. whmich covered the plantations on limnechinson's island, and have given our friends. the plaun term, something extra to do mi repoirm breaks in dams, &c. We trutm, however. they will escape with less injury than ex poeted. Plantations immrehately above and below thi city, and in South Carolina. have sustained :nore or less damnage, one of the planters in Carolina having~ the wa ter on 400 acres of rice. A s harvest had commenced, such a visitationi will lbe felt. The wind changed on Thursday evemgm from N. E. to S. WVet, n hieh has allayed further apprehensions. "The dreniching rains of this week, with the high wimnds, alomost reacing a gale, on Wecdnesday and Thursday. have, we ap p rehen ded, caused time plantmers onm the sea bodt experience lhsses. We shall lbe pleased to bear that ouir almpprlehensions are not sustained by the reality. "WeV learn, since the abovo was written) that the rice plantationms onm tba Ogechcee have se-verely sulered, inlie tidles being there as in the Savannah, higher thamn eyer known, without the occurrence of a horri cane. 'The wind was rery high in this city yesterdas morninig before da--, and time sumn yesterda'y ca7me forth ini all his maje.sty, giving us a beatnsful eutumn day." .The Savannah Rep,'ubbekan of thme same date, remarks that the late stomr'm wats se ierer South of this than it was here .Near ly all the rice plantations near Darien, were flowed by breaches made in the bank', and much injury sustained. Ott time Oge einoe and Savannah rivers, the damage is also sever., and many planters must-expe bance a heavy lorti, depending upon the stageof the harvest. *Cotton will likewise stiffer, as all the open bolls must be ruined, besides time plns being -nuch broken by the wrind. We do not learn how far towards the up lands this mischief extends. SavanAnU, Sept. 17. The Stortu,-A North Easterly gale and ehange of moo~n, have given us the highest tideaforimany-years. Hutchinson's Islanid has been flooded and numerous Rice fields in this vicinity. We fear the damage is enteasive, particularly to those who have not finished housing their Rice. The tre atendeus torrents of rain accompanying the whole, we fear extend to the mntermor nad along thme coast, and then Cotton crop, bash Sea island and Upland, must be seri gasly injured. Tb. storm is not yet over, but we hope the highest tides are.-Repub~. * SavaanaH, Sept.1is. 2'e Weaiher.-The Craps-T he Rice Planters in the yicinity have, we fear, suf, fqre .maeialn by the high tides of Wed novday and Thursday, which covered the plantation on, Ilutchinsoti's island.. and have given our friends the Planters, some thing extra to do in repairing breaks in dams, &c. We trust, however, they will escape with less injury than expected. Plantations immediately abve and below the city, and in Souti Carolina, h:ave sus taineded more orlessdanage. one of the planters in Carolina having the water on 400 acres of rice. As harvest had com menced, such a visitation will be feh. The wind changed on Thursday evening from N. E. to S. West, which allayed further apprehensions. The drenching rains of this week, with the high winds, almost reaching a gale. on Wednesday and Thursday. have, we apprehend, caused the planterA on the sea board to experience losses. We shall be pleased m-hear that our apprehensions are not sustained by the reality. We learn, since the above was written. that the rice planations on the Ogeechee have severely stalusred, the tidems being there, as in the Savannah, higher than ev er known, without the occurrence of a hurricane. The wind was very high in thiscity yes terday morning before day, and the sun yesteday came forth in all his tmajesty. giving us a beautiful autumn day.-Geor gian. Texas.-We have been favored with the fiollowing extract of a letter from a highly intelligent professional gentleman, resdent in Texas. The letter is dated Altagiorda, (Texas,) Augpst 12. "Our country is slowly advancing; in no department so mitch, however, as in her agricultural interest. Vast numbers of slaves, and a great amount of other proper ty. have been introduced ir.to the country' during the la-st year mostly by the insol vetnts, and bank defaulters of Mi-4issiI1i, Alabama and Louisiana. Indeed, the pro ductive capital of the counsg has been swollen to at) amount five timesgreaier than that ofthe proceeding year. Cotton is now growing in interior portions of the country where it was not expected to ha seen in five years. The crop of any former year is likely to h.e exceeded by four times told by that of the prcsent, although the season has not hecn altogether favorable. -Tbe terms, upon which our Loan has been obtained htv Gen. Hamilton, are here considered ruinous, and the measure is most decide-lly unpopilar. -The near approach of our Presilential election (Sept. next) is beginning to gene rate an excitement in the popular mind. The result, however, is a matter of little doubt. Gen. Houston will inevitably be elected against all apposition. His habits are as had as formerly, and 1 indulge sad forebodings for the country during the next three years." Return of Peace.- We are happy to in form the public that the last McLeod war is over. We said several days ago that peace would return as soon as the "mninis serial criis" had pinssed. Our prediction is now verified. The news from England, the news from Washingtou, and the news from the northern frontier, all go to show thatt hstfyvmore agd reports that ie en urited about upen this snhject by some portions of the press arejust what we described them to be, arraut, silly, rid iclous. humbng, a,n ricle by the way in which there has been more compettion amonz several newspapers in this city of lae than any thing else, they have bean running ai race to see which could publish tme greatest number of foulish rumors from all qiurters. Theli stufl about the Northeastrn bound ary was low~n to the winids by the Coin m~.ssioners themnsclves; the more silly stiufl about ai perempijtory demand for Mc Leod, the inews of ishich was brnught by Sir John Ia rvey was suflicientily repud iatedl by commi sense; it now appears that it was tasinly nh,urdly false, but that Lord Pal nersoinmxpresy avowed himslf~ satisfied with .ilr. Webster's letter. Thie very pinnacle of the ridiculous has en reatched, however, by the reports hit the exciItd peoplie at the north wcre about to itrag McLeod fmotm jail, and fail. ig in that would kidnap his wit ncess on he way to his trial. We admit thait theire s a greut deal of exciteiment in th'at idirec ion, andI we (10 not wonder. It is eniomgh in excite nnuy botly, to have such sland.r ns andi vjillanous repiorts circuilatedl. The peple are narally and justly indl~miat ut bieiing son itisiiltei. And this is thle only point upon which is any srnenuis excite ent. In reference to Mc Lead they' wsill mull be henrtily glad when the public is re ieved~ frotm supportimng himm. Ilii trial comes on a week from Moniday uext. lHe will be fairly, and11 we hope horoughly tried. If lie proives hitmself ita iocent, or if he event rnises a reasunable doubt of his guilt, tic will be acquitted. If h is provedl guilty lie will be convicted, ut under the circumnstanices there is nit doubit that lhe wouldi he promti~fly pardonteid iv the tixecutive. In the men tie hec is liing~ like- a nbolb, elitng, drinking andI inaking merry with his friends; atnd the greatest humbug of all is that he is pro tected by a body guard.-.V. Y. Sun. Success of thec Sub-Treaasury.-N o in strument ever initoduicedi into the opera tios of any Governimeut, was ever crown eu by mort signal success than the F'isaa Age";nt iehij. Congress has just now fool ishly abls..tishedl. And of that the clostrug f ike Sub-Trestsury offices ini every part of the Unioan willh soun give complete proof. We have notieed the closing of the New York office. The snaie statements are ap plicailde to Charleston, where the transfer o the new dePository, tho Rail Road Bank. has just been made. Thle late Receiver Genera!, Dr. Jacob Do La Mouta, on receiving instructions to pay the balance in his hands to the credit f the Trecdsury, to the South Western Rail Road Banik, within a few minue af tt pirotmpily tendered the ful amount. It is equally as creditable to add, that in pro oting t'he object of the late Administra tion that insirtuted the Ssb-Tlreisumry scheme, of a judieious system of economy, this gentleman. not withstaniding the. large amounts passing through his hands, peer formed solely all 'he duties of his office, keeping his own books,-makinlgfout month y and weekly retarns, and during the pe riod ornearly iz months, incurred an ex eae to the Government for printing,-sta tiopary, fC, of something lysbha-tcu dol- f tars.

The electioneering services should lie paid for by party subscription, and for the rest, $5,000 would have been a large I remuneration. But these are the times in which partisan services arp to be rewar ded, and the public msoncy lavished, not < for the public good, but for the welfare and security of federalism. No wonder the federalits are reckless of theircourse; they I may justly infer that those who believed i the lies of the last campaign, can be made 1 to believe any thing, and put up with all i srts of impositions.

Cou. from the Chronile . Sentinel. lantaua. Sept. 17, 1841. Messrs. Jones: Gentlemen-I am aware that the public reel but little interest in the characier of ] r an individual so humble as myself. There .is no person, however, so obscure who docs not reel it to be his duty and privilege to justify himself before the conmuniy in i which he lives and moves, and to vindicate I himself from a charge affecting his char acter. I ask you, then, a place in your columns. I It will be recollected that, in compliance with the invitation of some of the citizens of this town, I delivered the oration otn the 4th of July last. On the 18th of the same month I left home on a tour, from which I a have returned only within a few lays. It ! appears that during my absence; over date "July 23d, 1841." two anhnoymous letters a were written, one to Dr. Conturier, and the i other to Capt. J. G. Gladding. of this - place, charging me with having delivered r "one of Daniel Webister's speeches. One I he delivered in 18.0, at Plvmouth, 200 years aller the landing of the Pilgrims," "that he has taken out of a book, &c." i These letters are over the signatures of S'lamburz,' and -One of the People of I Hamburg," and are written in a disguised - though evidently the same hand. The I style of the notes indicate them to be or low origin. Since my return I have used i every possible means of ascertaining the Iautihor; but the most rigid scrutiry has rai s led to identify him. Various rumors, such - as that "a comparison was tnade between L the manuscript and Mr. Webster's speech, D &c.," have been put in circulation. This D has been done to give plausibility to the i original charge; and I am authorized by the only persons who have over had pos - session of the manuscript, to deity it. The original charge is embodied in the extracts i above. I have yet to learn that a quota tion will justly subject a speaker to such a malicious report. I prononce it false, s and its author a base, secret slanderer. If he dare to come rorth from his hidden re cess to join issue upon his charge, I will - prove it false, present timin w the public - in his deserved character, and hold him s personally responsible in a manner suited to his position.

The weatber for 'he past wveeks. until vohmii the hast three (lays hius been warm ndl accomipanied with a south wind, which riuduced several violent and fatal cases of lie Conagestive fever in the country, and ne :aeal case in Town. For three dlays, owever, the winid hasi been blowing strong roum the niorth. ;ccomrpanied with soriie tin, miaking it cold enough fo a fire to ,el ecmfortable. The fever season may e consideredl ver. We have so maniy contraolieunary reports bout the cotnton cropj, that it i1 itmpossible a arrive at a correct conclusion in regard a it. Somei Plantatiions are seriously in. ired byv thae worm first and now hy the iT he latr~ mutd a. seirious injury efore the etuop can tbe saved, unless e ave more fair weather. In the Cane Irnke where the weed is very lauge there great comuaplain:. We still think howey. r there will be an averaige crop made. The Crops.-Tlhc planters of uche parish SS t. .Mary, lanve beeni peculiarly fortunate urimg the piresetnt season. Tlhey hare e'en blessed with rain, while every other action of the state. evena the neighlboring :arish, St. .Martin, has been suffering from evere drought. What corn was planted ite in this panrisht has turned out well, but le early crnp, was very poor. It is he >an inojudge of caine, lint so far the pros eet is good. From accounts, from other actions, however, we should think that us years' crop will fall far below the ar rage. The Autnkapas Gazeite ofthe28th It., says: "We have land abundant rains ere during then present week, and we hop. has beenigeneral throughout the country. ar in many places the drought has been of nprecedenttedl severity. In St. Landry Ipecially, we arc told, the wells were all ry, the earth baked hard and the crops amp letely scorched. In fact, we are inch afraid that the rains have come too te to revive vegetation in that parish here probobly, not half a crop of either >ito or corn will be made."-Planere AU t's TA. Sept. 22, Our remark yesterlay. that in conse aence of the accident on the Georgia all Road, the Company lead determined abandon running at night, was not as elI qualified as we designed.
