BriHiasat Prospects of the Soatih.--There is very interesting letter in the Savannah Georgian, from W. Nicholas, Esq. on the great contemplated rail road from Memphis, on the Mississippi, to Savannah or Charles ton. It will pass through Tennessee, Ala- bama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Ten nessee is deeply interested, and also Ken lucky, from the spurs of the Blue Ridge causing the Tennessee river to make cir cuitous course north, of several hundred miles, and then obliging 1t to empty into the Ohio near its junction with the Mississippi. By this rail road very great portion of the immense resources from the Missouri, the Mississippi, and even the Arkansas rivers Jopposite to which last territory Memphis is situated) will be cut off from Pennsylva- nia, Maryland, Virginia, and New York, and the whole of this trade nearly from New Orleans; so that this present fonnida- ble rival of New-York city may, from her dangerous navigation through the gulf and straights of Florida, become herself tributa- ry to Savannah and Charleston for the ma- nufactured goods she may require Tn cx- tIdll9t ioi .iloi SusutSs to "hiNi' oi'iSiSs probably, she will be ultimately almost en- tirely confined. There are, however, cer- tain insurmountable obstr,lctions Of sand bars in all inc ports of the Carolinas and Georgia, which will give importance to the superb navigation of tie Chesapeake, and therefore to the deep waters of the seaports of Norfolk and other places on the mouths of tbe rivers which open into this estuary.
 Whether Virginia, to meet these, will ex- tend her rail roads from Portsmouth and Petersburgh west, ifa cooperation with North Carolina, to intersect or join that of Memphis, Is to be seen. New York, again, besides her canal and iskks navigation il the interior, may largely participate, coastwlse also, Tn these advantages, as the great de- pot of foreign commerce, by establishing an extensive line of substantial sea-bullt steam-paekets, for freight and passengers to Charleston and Sayannah--the first link i'll which great chain Is already begun by our enterpfising citizen, Mr. Allaire.

morning last taken from the steps of a
house IN Mott street. TO the Duane street
hospital, far advanced ia cholera. and died
before nightfail While uader the charge
OF the physicians at The hospital, she in
formed them of the circumstances which
had led 10 her dreadful downfall aud sub
segment death. She had for length of
time been assiduously oourted by an insid
ious and accomplished young man of good
standing, who. on Saturday evening last,
succeeded, after mucn persuasion, in en-
ticIng her 10 the house from which she
was removed TO the hospital. About
3 o'clock on Sunday morning. she was
attacked with all The symptoms Of cholera
The heartless villain who had deceived
her, and had almost forced her into the
jaws of destruction and death, deserted
her 10 her fate as soon as the symptoms
of the disease made their appearance, and
left her to the tender inercies OF the
beldame who kept the gate of perdiiion
which the victim lay within; but who. im-
mediately on hearing of the fact, turned
the poor thing out to die. She was taken
up from the pavement by some per
sons who accidentally witnessed her cruel
ejectment, and carried by them TO the
hospital. During the few hours she lay
there, she necessarily wept for her horsid
fate, accompanying her lamentations with
prayers for the welfare of him who had
brought this untimely ruin upon her
head and whose name though repeatedly
importuned to disclose, she carried TO her
grave unuttered.

Slang of Artists -rhe conversation of

ses peculiar 10 themselves, and which NAV
not improperly be called the slang of art.
This jargon when heard by persons I'm.
acquainted with its application, is apt to
lead to awkard mistakes A laughable
instance occurred lately. A party Of Art

which, besides themselves, sedate vene
