ARRIVAL OF THE EMPIRE CITY.
LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
MORE GoLD-FATAL EFFECTS OF THE CHo-
LERA, &c. .4a.e
New YoRK, SeptembeJ


The Steamer Empire City arrived here this
morning from Chagres. She brings San Fran
cisco dates to the lst August.
The Empire City has on board one million
dollars worth of gold dust She brings no
mails, they having been put. on board the
Georgia, which sailed the day after with one
million and a half Of gold dust
The steamer Panama had arrived at Panama,
with two weeks later news from California, and
two millions three hundred thousand dollars
worth of gold dust.
The cholera had broken out on board th'.
Panama, and forty Of her passengers had died
from the effects Of the disease. The constcrua-
ton and distress on board was very great.
The commercial and other accounts from
Santa Francisco and the gold regions, are highly
cheering and satisfactory.
The news generally, does not vary much from
previous accounts. .... '. NJ

s-y JENNY LND's recent arrival and the in
effable donkeyisms perpetrated thereon by
the-m-asses" in New York, make up the burden
of the song Of the city papers.
We had supposed that the lesson taught them
by Dickeus would have saved our national repu-
tation from the disgrace of such disgusting
toadyism. Jenny will doubtless carry away
more of their notes, than she will leave Of hers.

NB" Some poor creature wreaked his pitiful
spite under cover of darkness few nights ago,
upon the block Of marble contributed by South
Carolina to the Washington Monument, by de-
facing the arms of the State sculptured thereon.
Such an act of mingled meanness and malgnity
can only excite scorn, not indignation; and to its
perpetrators, as we'll as to the basest Of those
libellers whose slandcrous invectives against
that gallant State probably formed the inspra-
ration for the outrage, may well be applied the
lines of the Poet:
"Pardon is for men,
And not for reptiles-we have none for Steno,
And no resentment; things like him must sting,
Ind higher beings suffer-; It's the charter
Of life. The man, who dies by the adder's pang,
May have the crawler crushed, but feels no anger
Twas the worms nature and some men are
worms
In soul, more than the living things Of tombs.

A New Book that will be a Good One

| A New BOOK that Will De a GOOD One.
| Not to know John Neal, the most prolific
and vigorous of Northern writers, in prose and
poetry--and the friend and contidant Of Jeremy
Bentham-would argue oneself unknown.
Few Of cur American writer's have shown as
much native vigor, invention and originality, us
he; but being unblessed with the faculty of
conciliating critics of the Griswold genus, who
can make you a reputation out of materials as
slender as those which suffice French cook
for his entremets, his writings have never netted
him as much cash or credit as those Of far
inferior writers belonging to mutual-admira-
ton clique of New York or Boston.
Talent is common gift, but genius is u
rare possession" the inspired gift of Cod
and on many of John Nears hasty, and some
times fighty productions, dashed off and thrown
forth like metal freshly fused, is stamped the
impress of powerful creative intellect, not
mere absorbing one.
| Had he only possessed the requisite patience
to prune away luxuriancies of fancy and of
diction, by which the fruitage of his thoughts
is often hidden under the flowers of his ideality,
he would have become as favorte writer with
the many, as he now is with the discriminating
few What we especially admire in the writ
ings and the man. is his holy horror of cant and
quackery Of all kinds Carlyle himself is not
a better hater of shams and formulas than this
descendant of the Pilgrims, abiding in an atmos-
phrre very friendly to the formation of those
frigid spectres. What he utters he believes, and
never pausing to consider whether it may be
popular or not, has consequently led rather n
controversial life in defending the children of
his brain from pharisaical structures. To all
who love what is fresh and frank, and truthful
therefore, the suboned announcement Of his
intention to prepare bona fide History Of
American Literature" will be source Of sim
cere pleasure Such work is still desider-
atum-Dr. Griswod to the contrary notwith-
standing The notice of Lis intention is so
characteristic that we append in his own words;
To all Uhona Il may concern The under
signed is now preparing n " History of American
Literature" in two large volumes, octave. Not
having in his own library nor in others accessi-
be to him, all the works he may desire to ana
I'VE or review he would take the liberty of
suggesting to his literary brethren throughout
the lai d, who are not afraid of being honestly
dealt with, to furnish him with copies of such
works as they have not lost all their interest in,
bv express or otherwise, directed to him at
Portland, Maine. TO American publishers of
American books he would offer similar sug-
gestion.
Perhaps, too, his bi"tlrrcn Of the newspaper
world-that fourth estate Of our COnfclcracy--I
may think it worth while to br-pcak attention to
the matter.
After having served the purpose above men
toned, all books furnished him will be trans

Another Vote.

Our readers will see by the report of yester.
tives, that the scheme Of dismembcrng Texas
has been again defeated.
When this attempt was made the day before
and failed by so large vote, we did not consider
it so important and decisive, as we knew the at
tempt would be repeated yesterday with aug
mented force. Indeed we have not regarded
the proceedings of either House of Congress
of late, on the great questions before them, as
final. New combinations will be made, and
many changes will occur, before Congress can
act-and even then we have no great confidence
that they will settle the question. 1t has passed
into the hands Of the people, and if Congress
shall undertake to violate their WILL the expert
ment will fail
The leople of the South are now united
enough, and strong enough, to maintain their
rights. They have spoken, and are speaking,
in terms too plain to be misunderstood or de-
fled
At all events if we thought otherwise--if we
thought they were incapable of knowing their
rights or of maintaining them, we should believe
them no longer worthy of liberty
We observe in one of the votes yesterday that
nearly all the Southern members asserted the
title of Texas to be good, to the full extent of
her claim. In that respect their constituents
will agree with them. And if Southern State
cannot maintain good title to her territory in
fraternal Congress of this Union, the system
works rather poorly. If territorial rights cannot
be maintained against sectional aggression, we
should like to know what can.
To be sure there are differences of opinion
between the two sections in this case, we are
told. So there are or will be in all other cases,
and the result is, there is nothing safe against
majority.
This is an important truth, if it be trnth
md one which the Southern people will ponder
we'll
