AERIVAL OF THEIJTEA)LPACm NEW YoRc, September 4, 154. The steafner Pacifie arriied;h re-t a late hour last night, bringing:Livei-pooldatesof Agust 23. Consols closed'at 937.8 a 941. The ootton market was lower, at a decline variously stated-at )1-Hi a 1-8d. per pound. - Wheat had declined 4d., but flour had ad vanced Gd. a is. CoiTve firm. a:nd tending up wards.. Naval stores dull. Rice easier. Wallachia was quiet. The Austrians entered on the 18th. The Rusbians, WOO strong, under Gen. Luders, were concentrating on the right bank of the Pruth. The French are entitled to all the honor of th e canture.of Bomersund-they fought gallant ly. Riga will next be attacked. Prussia was arming at all points. The expedition to the Crimea was waiting for the decrease of the cholera, which was abating. Fifteen ihousand of the allies, principally French, had perished. The disease raged fearfully at Varna, Shumla and Constantinople. The reported defeat cf the Turks near Kars, in Asia, was confirmed. Henry Wetherstein had- fuiled. Liabilities 85,000,000. ABscoNDrn.--It is our paiinful duty to record another case in this community of fraud and breach of trust, and of the individual in default having abseonded. We refer to Elijah D. Rob. ertson, Warehonseman and liketor in this city, of the firm of Robertson & Goss. Developements were made on Wednesday last, showing that he had sold sundry lots of Cotton, belonging to planters, who had been kept for months, by him. under the impression that the Cotton was still in store, and he has failed to respond to them for the proceeds. It turns out, also, that he has abused the confidence of gentlemen for whom lie was doing business, and las misapplied notes sent him in blank, and has misappropriated funds raised by getting them ditoounted upon f:lse statements. lie has since disappeared from the cur, being unwilling to face the stort raised by his misconduet. Ilii. liabilities are estimateld at about $15,000, besides what is secured by mortgages on propertyft He has other property which nas been attached, and may far go towards paving his debts. It is due Mr. Goss to say, that he is entirelv disconnected with, nnd innocent of these trans. actions. lie has but very recently formed a co-partnership with Robertson. and had not yet come among us to transact business. This is a deplorabe ailfir, and causes univer sal regret. It has taken the !onmnunity by sur prise, and giveni grreat pain to m:1ny of our citi zens, who had lilierio entertained a good opin ion of the delinquent. Such occureneos always gives a severe shock to public sentiment in a commercial community, were the good name of its merchants is so important to its prosperity. Here especially, it is keenly felt, fron the rarity of the event ; for as a general rule, this commu nity will compare, wvithout disparagement, with any other in its mercantile integrity.-August C onstit utionalist. WEATrnE--CArrtOs.-It will be seen from the hist dahiy reports, (says the Savannah Cou. rier.) that the yellow fever gives little promise of speedy abatement. The whole number of deaths Wednesday, was 18, yesterday 16, of vhich 25 are set down to the ravages of the fe vor. This would give I ID for the total sum of the coming week-87 from the epidemie. It is to be hoped, however, that we shall not be call. ed upon to record so frightful a result. There is a very general opinion prevalent in town, somewhat justified by flicts, that the weather for the last three or four days has been very unfavorable. To this view we are itlinedI The winds have blown from every point of the compass, and the temperature has varied twenty degrees iii twenty four hours. Sudden ehat ges like these, of both wind and temperature, could not but operate uiavorably on cases in progress and be the fruitful cause ot' many new ones. THE A-mAo.-A correspondent of the Lon don Economist, in treating of openitng the Ama zont, has the follo wing observations: "At present, we regret to add, the great hiin. dratnce to thie speedy development of the navi. Equador anid New G3reitada. In Peru its .\inis ter had for a while abutost equ:il poer liith erto it is int Brazil o:nly t hat io looting has beeni gaiined. Between iDrazil and lhe Untited States the ditferenice of their forms of govertinent rai ses a species of anvinn, wvhich reniders the apprianei of Nor.h .\mer ican pretensions, claitms arnd conitrover.sies a political d tiger for the only South Amierican umtnaarchiv. Thterefore it is that .Urazji iniintinh' i~ re.iss the. initroduttion of L'nited States itaereats into the v'albov of tihe Amazwont, seeking rather to develop its great re .ourcs by n~ative eniergy anid enterprise. Atd in this policy lDrazil does, itn t ruthI, but support a::d wvork out the cau.se of' South American i:alepe-ndence generally." A Goon REc:UKE.-A Baptist Association of New Yo k, at a recent mee-vtinrg, has most wisely and ;,oin; edly rebuked the tiree thousand polit I cal elergy men of New Enrglanid wiho recettly assumed to thtemselves lie authority to speak the wili oh the Almighty cui.ceerniig the Nebras kat bill. We quote the followinrg from at report adopted by the Association: 'We utterly repudiate all fellowship with Ihtose who impionmsly ::ssumte to protest in the name of the Almighty God againist the passage of laws for the organiizaitiont of territorial gov ertnent, or othier purposes, anid in llis name to futlmninate anathemiis ag-iinst the representa lives of the people in the discharge of their oflieml duties. Atid we regard the assumipttin 4hat anybody (of meon are divinely itistrueted to sit in judgment -uon all que,,tions of a moral and religio'us rait ure, as one which, if recogntised by thle pecophe, is edelnlated to destroy every vestig~e of civil and religious freedom, anid pros. trate all the institutions of our land at the feet of a irresponsible and atrrogant priesthood." A singular occurretnce took place in the town of Hamtburg, Esrie county, New Yourk, a few days since. An [rishmuant was engaged ini dig ging a well, and after getting downt to the depth wate eom erteenlor wenty feet found signts of watr vry ercptile.At lat lie struck his pick through at thin layer of slate, when, all at once, an~d with a n:oise like thunder, .sufliciently loud to be d istinct ly heard all over the tieigh borhood, a streaun of mingled gas~ antd water bust through the orifice, instantly killinig lie un-: fottutnate mni~t, atnd filling the well to the depth of ten or twvelve feet with water. Gas still escapes profusely, arnd the water is int cotnstatt and violent motion, resembilitig a large caldront of boiling fluid. Cnors is ILLISoS.- A frietd writing to the Baltimore Sun fromn .'deComb, .3leDonogh coun ty, Illinois, tinder date August 6th, states that the crop of wheat throughout that section, which is (lie of the most fertile parts of Illinois. is of good quality, but does not yield the ntum ber of bushels anticipated. The early cropt of -rn looks well atnd will be a fair one. The e corn owing to the drought, wil! be an entire miure, arid tihe late potatoes from the isame -ause, will share the like fate. A VETERIAS GONE.--Among the deaths in Savanmnah, on Thursday last, we notice the name >f Sandy, a colored man, at the advanced age >f one hundred aind six years. AUG USTA.-The deaths in Augusta for the mast month have amounted to thirty, none from rellow fever. The papers there call this recmar auly healthy. We are sorry for our .sister towns, 'hite, with grateful acknowledgmients, we catn oast of the health of our own town. We on't think there have been thirty deaths in olumibia during the past three muonths.-Co mbaCarolinian. i ttdta aptain Hlollins is ordered to Greytown again ith the Cyane. The American Consul, Mr. abiens, goes out with him to ma~ke a full inves gation into the amount of damages done to tizens of the United States by the bombard. ent of the town, and also to take testimony id report upon the value of the entire property atroynd -- y VzXftiuiier. ARTRUR SIMKINS, EDITOR, EDGEFIELD, S. Q. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 1854. {37 Crowded out again, as usual. It would be best, we think, for us to give up our chair to the can didates and their friends until after the election. Per haps we shall do so. LY TiiE replies of JosEPiH Anr.:. Esq., and Dr. 1t. I. CooK, in answer to the interrogatories pro pounded last week, in reference to the Toll Gate, have been received. but are necessarily omitted. - A art.v to the article signed " CAioLINA," published two weeks since, will appear in our next paper.

Tabor Church, on Saturday next, to which the Ladies and the public generaily are cordially invi ted to attend. Rail Road Barbecuo. TuK Rail Road Ineeitng of yesterday passed off witli great good feeling and harmony. At the time we were compelled to go to press, twenty-five thousand dollars of additional stock had been itaken. Mr. Pt. RIN made an admirable development on the subject of Rail Roads, and spoke ibi much force in regard to the New 3Market and Aiken link. Gen. LoNumtm also spoke briefly, but fmLeligly;u pon the sutiject. A full report of the proceedings will be given netxt week. Let none despair-there is good ground for hope yet. To the merchants of Augusta and Ham burg. Wi: have one single honest remark to nakte to you. and i: is this : If you n~ih a strong lift in your busi. niess for the in-coining season, adverti-e fully and ex plicitly in our business columnis. You skull not lose anything thereby, and yun- stand a fair ebance of g;titiing a great deal. The hint is for vour own good far more thian fur ours. We leave it niti you. " Omaha Arrow." Secn is the title *of Nebraka's tirst newspaper, a copy of which is before us having been already en tered upon ourexclhttge list. The - Atitow'' promi ses to ha an interesting sheet. Its location, in the wilds of a new coutintry, is enoutigh of itself to attract attentiult. Baker County Land. I-r will be seen by Mr. Cniua:ms adverticement that lie ofl1rs valuable land for sale in this fivorite County of Georgia. .Ilere may be one of the chamices. now afloat, of making a fmituiie. Sale Day, for September, PASSED oy in an unusually dull m.ier. There was not a dollar's worth of property oflered to ptir. chasers, by virtue of writs or orders issuing from either Court. Indeed we beieve there was ithdtling sold by ally one upon the square, either privately or publicly, except a few lte water-ielunis. The crowd was a suall one, comparatively speaking. The autumnal ,mn was pouring down his ilitest rays, and most p,:rsons present .songht refuge from their sickening inlu::nees in the pi:izzas, stores, pub lie offices, &c. The electian, esp cially tle de:auto rial contest, was all the talk. 31tny go! ciiizins are nitici interested in its result. We suppose that either party looks witli pride and solicitude to its chatlion. The state of the pulls it is it'd For I's to predict. Whichever of the coitetauis shall h: elect ed, our sincere desire is that tie imai: prove lim-elf an able and eflicient inember of the talen'ted and ex perienced body in which lie is to act a part. Of the canvass fir ithe lower ho .se, we enn only gather that it is a regular sweepsake:- in w% hich it. most every one finds it a very diliieul thing to inaue the wiintg nags. S-ine think one six wi!l lie elect. ed, sonie another six. Oe voter remarked ihat lie haI placed them so often (nmentatlly) in the order they himiself enltire ly itaketi, that l! hadi" finally ciin ciudied nione of the outld have any' thimie ini bra we u imag~ine it wIll alI conic right aboiut i the second wsee, in tex~t luontli, n ilei the hupes of sone :,ball he tiade. to "Fade like the flowers do Anid die in October," while others shall shake thte tdust of victory fronm their canivass-soiled habhilitneits an-I pht:ime diem selves for scenies if L~etislaiive glory. To all good1 luck, the vanqiuishied as well as thle vie:oriius! Those who miay be elected hadl better lnt lie over elated, fur they will be ye ry apt to tie left at home whlen the race is to to be run agaiin. And those nhoi are beateit ne-ed niot despair, for in aill prbabhi lity* (unless suomethitig egre.;ionsly silly be done byv them-n in the interimd) they will have "beter luck nexat time." Somne would say just htere UnG it, a!l. ant thec deril take.I lthjndmiost." But we have not the heart to wvishi that pour "tunfortunate' ' such a f.::te. If we were guoig to treat any body to an oyster sup-per on that great iast igh~t or tim ehecti, thi samiie wrettcheid "hIaimimo'a' fellow stiotuh be ouir itan. And we would give him -'me good champai~gine too to ntasht his oysters antd tunrrtiflication all doun t lie s:tune wvay. We really thintk of droin~ig LambarLik a linie ta that elleet. It is nlO pio-iive proile, lhon ever. Of the Congressionial elc'tion, we heatr ntht::. Thiere is little or ino iinterest mianuifestedl abount the tmatter-htow mnehi is felt we may not ex;.resn--not kinowving, can't say.'' We learin that one of the aspi rants (Col. Garlingtotij has been <quite ill for somie timne, so mtich so as to prevent his taking the field as hte htad intenided. Capt. Brooks is going the rotunds and entiertaining the peopuile in his usual miannter. We suppose eacht wvill be elected on his owni side of ISaitda; buit the comparing of aceoutnts mnay show a great deficit somen here. Th'le health of our IDistrict tihus far is represented as being- very good. There are some few severe cases and sonie sad bereavemenits; bitt, tatking all thiings into considleration, nse have cause to be thantkful thtat it is no wsorse. Fromt all parts we hear great comiiplainits of the hut and dry wveather. The thiernoimieter ha~s again, for the fourth spell this seasotn, gonle tip ini mauuy places to 9Pan 90.The drought has imade ino ebianige of conserpuence in our corit crops-they were mtostly safe before it caine to lie severe. Ihut it has hatd the eflect of cuitting oly our cotton crop ini maniy places very connsiderably. The prospects of miany have been greatly iess,-ned in thus par. ticular. Thue peca, piotate, antd tiurip urips are nowus suifyerinig sadly. Fodder has beeni nell cured and put awvay sniugly. rThis is abouit all we picked up on sale-daty-nio, there is one other item. Who ever sawv a snow white huawk ' Nobody, you will perhaps reply. Bhit as sure as wse hold this pe-n between our figers atid ltuib, a gentlemtan of truth gave its an aeccount of onte lie hail seeni hut a few days ago. lI e udescribeid it as a beautiful, symmetrical specimnen of its kindu, of a whiteness that niighit vie wvith thatt of the most freshly-washed eranue, wyitht bold bill, sparklintg eye and perfect plumage. What a gem it wvouuld ha~ve been ini thle days of Falconry, to have gratced the wrist of some spirited "i Die Vernon," or to hatve re ceiveid the fotidling of some imnprisoned damsel of high degree, as site spuorted with her maidens mn the limi ted 'court-yard of her father's old castle! But seri ously, (lid any one else in these parts ever see a wshite hawk ? It really strikes us as beinig a "rara avis in trrs,e i milma nigro cy:;no." By the way, there was ani anecdote we hecardl on saleday, illustrative of the intehligetice of certaitn Edgefield republicans, wihel we mutst be permitted to tell. One voter wvas saying how strong his favor. ite for thes Senate was going to run, nshein another remarked " Why my man will beat him all hollow ini a, heap of places-he'll beat him at A's box anid at the R. II. box, and at Ihamburg, andi in the P'iney Woods, and as for Barnwell, whiy, sir, hc'll give him the devii in Barnwell !" But we conclude wvith the remark that our people, as a whlole, seem i.ot to be at all exeited on any polit ical topie. Some feeling titers is on tihe Saludahi side about the dividing tip of h le District, andI somne ott time Iamburit side abouit the "Bridge Law" as it is cati ed. The mass of the people hoiwever appear to be as calm and as cool as a siumer's morn, ready doubst less to vote a fnhh, fair nnd first rate ticket. And "Valley Pioneer." W. received the first number of this new paper jtst as we were going to press last week-ot late tn give it such a notice as we desired. The " Pioneer is published at Hanburg, Edgefield District, by J. I Ronisox, and edited by CAREY W. STYLES, Esq. Tine subscripionn price is one dollar per annutm. One main object of this paper is to advocate and advance the irterests of the supposed Savannaht Vulley rail road, and in this we wish it complete snccess. In every thing else that is landable the " Pioneer" hat our kindest feelings; and we are snre the hand thal now guides it will steer strait for the goal of justice and truth. We take pleasure itt commenling.oul fellow-laborer to the attention of our readers. Are we in Earnest?

It has been vaguely suggeste& in the course of the discussion on this subject, that.the State, in the exercise of its emitnelt domain, 'may take th:s as any other private property for public use, especially if coipensation be male. Undoubtedly Messs. JoNES & KENNEDY may surrendet this property with or without compensation. When the State grants land to a person, it is sup posed to be with reservation of, the right to m:ake highways over the same at any future time for the benelit of the community, but when this right is exercised the land is merely subjected to an tame meat, and the proprietor is uot divested of the boil. Eminent domain by force of tge terms ap!iiR to lands only. li what way could "a franclise, which is ineorporeal in it: iature and itself all casement, be subjected to another easement ? t It is not pretended that the State has any general -prerogative to deprive a citiiei of his property - gainst hiswil and estimate of its value.

EUrTn.-A writer ill die histAdvertiser, over the signature of " AUUITOR'.Uffedt to report ithe substance of thi..- rcmarks made by Col. CARaOL.L and Capt. M1ORAGNE, at Graniteville, on the 19 I A ugust last, and even to furnish liberal-extracts fron the speech of the former. If the writer Ieferrd to hind been once himself a laborer in the f:ietory, and e had been expvl!ed from the weaving room for his incorrigible laziness and inefficieney, we coulJ at once understand the ground of his' real hosti;ity to a tle Coipiany and lia. affi'et4 tplmpathy for tihe s opiernttes. So, also, were he fresh from A ugi.ta. d and inibued with all its prejutjfees, it would be at once explained how lie comes to assume, as atl un e dtoubted fact, the paliab'e untruth that tile City 9 Council of A utiusta are the 6i1 ners of tie portion n of the Br'.ge within the territor' of this State. A md if, in additi.ii to Iese thirgs,,it wee to turn out that the writer in question had not, reshied moure if than three mouths in this Distrjet, and was n'ot even entitled to vote in our Vlcctioll, hii attelpt to iliu enee the people in their choice of a Senator and 1,. d presentativs, inight very well be characterized as d very exquisite impudence.
