AN AVALANCHE OF BREAD,---ATLANTA, July 13.-Yesterday, there were one hundred cars loaded with wheat at Chattanooga, ready to move, and the depot crammed to its utmost ca pacity. Two trains a day arrive at Chattanooga, by the Nashville Road, and it was estimated yesterday that there were stored in that town. 30,000 bushels of wheat exclusive of that in store by our Road. From Chattanooga down to Etowah, the depots are full to bursting. On the 9th, there were received at Calhoun 2,000 bushels, and the hands could not knock off their loading .till 11 o'clock at night. Maj. Young, the Agent of Calhou;:, thinks that from his depot- alone, he will ship 100,000 bushels during the season. To-day, five full trains will be down, and we suppose each car will contain 130 sacks. The rush of this description of freight has been unprecedented, caused, as we learn, by the offers of New York Millers to give $1.25 for all wheat delivered at Depot by the 10th, and at Charleston and Savannah by the 15th of this month. We fear, in vain, of this state of things that much litigation and loss must be met by some parties. The crop, under the strong inducements of this favorable state of the market, was reaped. in its earliest stage of ripeness, and then, in a wet spell, got out and pressed forward in large bulks into Depot. This will inevitably heat, and to a great extent suffer deterioration. Then, we have'no doubt, as the State Road is looked upon as tiir game for all the world to hawk at, that thousands of dollars in the way of reclama tion will be brought against. it to make good this damage. We learn that already the Ten tesseeans are threatening to sue for losses growing out of tie detention of their grain for a few days, and experience warns us that what a Tennesseean demands of our Road he will get-lutelligencer. SEvAsTOPOL.-The Washington correspon dent of the Baltimore Sun, refering to the state ment that Gen. Pellissier did not know that a battery would sweep the ravine when the French suffered such loss, and that a mine was to be sprung under his feet, says that he was not so well acquainted with the defences of Sevastopol as some persons in Washington-probably the Russian embassy. If the allies had obtained possession of the Redan and the Malakoff they would, says the correspondent, at the same mo nent have been extinguished. According to this writer, who may derive his information from good authority, the whole of Sevastopel is un dermined. -He says: "It is known here that all these defences have been undermined, and that the Russians and their. forces would have. perished together, if the assault had been successful. A labarynth of mines underlay Sevastopol. The besiegers and the besieged will alike share the penalty of an assault. "Russia fights not like other nations, for she never hesitates to sacrifice her own people and her own property for the annoyance of an ene my, as the history of Napoleon's Russian cam paign and the burning of Moscow attest. " I am remindeed by those late reverses of the allies of the prophetic warning contained in the address of General St. Arnaud to the French ammy upon the eve or the embarkment for the Crimea. He warned them that they were to meet an enemy that had been diligently preparing for war, while France had for forty years been engaged in the cultivation of the arts of peace. So it has proved. Russia is found prepared at all points for defence, as wvell as for aggresision." BLUE RIDG2 OE RABUaRN GAP RAILROAD. We take pleasure in stating, says the Anderson Gazette, that the contractors have recently con summated such ar-r.gements' as will secure an effective force on the Stump House tunnel, to be kept at work nigrht, and day, until final com pletion. We also Tearn that the contractors are anxionsly waiting for the delivery of- the whole line of road into their hands, to enable them to put a fo~rc~e upon the entire line to Knoxville. The .project having been fully matured, the necessary aid having been fully provided by - ..Ahe ivarious .parties in.terested4.including the States which are to be benefitted by it, and the money market having materially improved, we trust the whole line will be given to contrae-tors without further delay. If this is done we have the best- of reasons for believ-ing that the work will be under contract immediately to Knoxvulle, and that it will be prosecuted vigoronsly until it is completed. DEseRIPTio5 OF SIERnA LEONE.-A worthy, weather-beaten old sea captain onice gave a per. fectly definite notion of Sierra Leone, "sir," he aid: "i'll tell you what Sierra Leone is like. A black fellow, sir, goes into the market. It's as hot as, well-anything. He buys a melon for three farthings-and wvhat does lie do with it? The black fellow, sir, hasn't a rag on. Ho's as .bare as a robin. He buys his melon, cuts it in hmlves, and scoops out the middle. He sits in -one-.half, covers his head with the other, and eats the middle. That's what he does, sir. I saw Sierra Leone in all its tropical glory, cheap ness of produce, darkness of population, gigan tic vegetation, and primitive state of manners." THE Ministry of Sardinia have suppressed sixty-three of the seventy Monkish orders in the kingdom, unider the law recently enacted by the Parliament, and their revenues are appro piated to the support of their infirm members and the poor benefices and schools of the coun try. The organ of the church at Turin, the Armonia, announces that the Ministers and members of Parliament who voted for it are excommunicated under Chap. XI. of the Coun cil of TJrent, without a special bull, and that they cannot receive the sacraments of the church, it is intimated, however, that a new note from Rome may be looked for. LARGE CARGO OF SUGAR.-TheO ship J. H. Glidden, which arrived at Boston a few days since, from Havana, brought the largest cargo of sugar ever before imported there. The cargo consists of five thousand one hundred boxes the aggregate weight of which is over a quarter of a million pounds. - A LOCK OF WAsINGTON's IIAIR.-The Grand Lodge of~ Massachusetts has in its possession a lock of Washington's hair. is is kept in a gol den en-sket, covered with glass, an~d has been Sregularly transmitted from the hands of one Grand Master to those -of his successor, who always has it in his personal charge. So says the Bunker Hill Aurora. THE practical working of the liquor law in these parts thus far, says the New York Herald, shows that so far from being an act of absolute prohibition of the retail liquor business, it is an act of absolute free trade. Anybody may buy and everybody may sell-if we may judge frow the numerous examples of buying and selling in all parts of the city-without the expense of a license, and without fear of the law. CUBA.-The. latest advices from Havana and Matanizas say that all apprehensions of fillibus ter movements had died away,.and confidence beeni fully restored. Business was inactive at Matazas, particularly for imported gooads. A siumber of articles were quite unsaleable, except at a heavy loss. Freights were dull for all ports. The first steamer of the new Spanish line wa slaily expected. Several companies of troops havo arrived at Havana. FINE WHEAT Czops.-The Rome Courier stales that two thousand bushels of wheat per day arrive at that market Mr. W. H. Wood, of Floyd, wvrites us that his Etrurian wheat this year weighs seventy- pounds per bushel. Let 'every farmer look well to. the culture of this1 important crop, which is-now too much neglect " CAVING IN !"-The chartets of three Know Nothing Councilta have been revoked, recently, in Connecticut, viz: one in Lyme, one in Salem, one in Colchester-for- the reason that there *as' too much democratic sentiment among them! One of the Councills in New London hag voted to disband.. , CALLING NADms.-The American Organ calls the New York~ Herald " the Satanic press," and says it is conducted by a "Scotch polecat" n....,th... should Adwell tugfthar ii, rrnity.. LARGE CLAIM.-One of most important-items of news from California is the confirmation of Bolton and Barrow's claim by the land commis sioners, embracing 13,500 acres of land, lying mostly within the corporate limits of San Fran cisco, and covering the whole southern part of the municipality. The claim is estimated to be worth $40,000,000. nMessrs. Pickmer, Cook and Co. are the principal owners of the 'claim. FEMALE PIETY.-The gem of all others which encircle the coronet of a lady's character is un affected piety. Nature may lavish much on her person-the enchantment of the countenance the gracefulness of her mind or strength of her intellect; yet her lovel!ass is uncrowned till piety throws around the whole sweetne.bs and power of her charms. She then, becomes un earthly in the temper-unearthly in her desires and association. The spell which bound her affections to things below is broken, and she mounts on the silent-wirigs of her fancy and hope, to the habitation of God, where it will he her delight to hold communion with the spirits that have been ransomed from the thraldom of earth, and wreathed with a garland of glory. "., Foun GooD HABrrs.-There were four good habits a wise and good man earnestly recom mended in his counsels, and also by his example, and which he considered essentially neccessary for the management of temporal concerns ; these are Punctuality, Accuracy, Steadiness and Dis patch. Without the first of these, time is wast. ed, without the second, mistakes the most hurt ful to our own credit and interest, and that of others may be committed; without the fourth, opportunities of great advantage are lost which it is impossible to recall. FINE WHEAT Cnors.-The Rome Courier states that two thousand bushels of wheat per day arrive at that market. Mr. W. II. Wood, of Floyd, writes us that his Etrurian wheat this year weighs seventy pounds per bushel. .*Let every farmer look well to the culture of this im portant crop, which is now too much neglected. IMrnIsoNMENT FOR DEBT.-The new law of Massachusetts, abolishing imprisonment for debt, went into operation on the 4th inst. There were nine poor debtors set free by the new law, to enjoy their freedom and celebrate the anniversa ry of their country's independence. Besides, the above fleed ones, over two 'hundred cap tives, imprisoned for non-payment of fines and costs, were set free by orders from the police court. HYNENIAL.

Another Revolutionary soldier and patriot has passed away, but not until lie was permitted to see the Tree of Liberty, which he aided in planting, extending its boughs from Ocean to Ocean, and his children with millions of happy freemcn reposing under its ample shade. The deceased was of amiable dis'position. In him were ha ppily blcnded those traits of character which make the good citizen, the kind neighbor, the afl'e tonate husband, the indulgent father, and humble and meek christian. Firm in his religions principles, but not bigoted. lIe was unobtrusive and possessed n large measure that charity which hopeth and en ureth all things. -For upwards of sixty years he hadl been a mem er of the lHaptist Church, a conliding follower of esus. And though father, mother, brothers, and isters, and wife. and all of his early associates had one before him through the'valley and shadow of eth, God did nmot forsake him. Like -Job, " All he days of his -appoitted time he waited till his hange came," and when it camo .in firm faith re igne-d his spirit to God who gave it. To his chil ren lie has left a legacy above all price-Joshua ill was an honest man. Numerous children and rand children mourn his loss, but they sorrow not s those who are without hope, for "lie steeps in Jesus, bless-ed sleep, From which none byer wake to weep." DIED at the residence of Mrs. C~tuorrE SMtTn, heir mother, in F~lgefield District, on the 12th of hmoe 18~55, DANIE L L, and on the 23d following ERME LIA, children of DANIEL SMITII deed.,-the ormer seventeen and latter fourteen years of age. The deceased were kind and dutiful children, the ride of a widowed mother and a large and honora le circle of relations. Being possesed of mild and miable dispositions, they had won for themselves any friends, and was dmired by all with whom hey wereaequainted. Yey expresseditheir willing ess to die, and met death with Christian resignatmon, elying on Him who has promised to reward all that pt their trust in [litm. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved family, who have been called upon to mourn their irrepara le loss, and more especially with the widowed other who has been thus bereft of her loved-ones n her declining years. They have, however, the onsoling assurance, founded on thme well-spent lives f our departed friends, that they mournm not as those without hope. A. FRIEND. Religious Notice.
