Terrible Gale Mt Sen.

The Steamship Georgia Severely Mjured-We
learn that the steamship Georgia. Capt Budd, which
sailed from New York Monday afternoon last, at
O'Clock. with about 300 passengers for Aspinwall,
on the following Tuesday, in lat So 90 Ion 70 so,
(Cape Hatteras bearing north east and distant 80
mIIes,) was overtaken by of the most terrific gales
ever experienced on coast. The rain fell in tor
rents, while the wind blew perfect hurricane The
Georglas fires put out by the heavy fall of
RAIN, and so serious the sranng in the gale that
she, sprung aeak, and the pumps choking finally
SIX feet OF water accumulated in the hold Great
alarm, of course, for the safety of the vessel was
excited among the and passengers, but the cap
tain (Budd) preserved great GOODNESS and command,
and at this stage of affairs addressed those on board
urging calmness and energetic forltude.
The result that all hands set earnestly to work
to bail out the vessel, which finally accomplish
3D. so far as TO enable the remen again to build the
fires Steam was thus got up, and after all the peril
which had been gone through with the Georgia was
enabled TO reach Norfolk Saturday afternoon last,
to the great Joy OF the passengers not, however with
out having suffered considerable damage Such is the
extent of her injuries that she will not be able to pro-
coed TO sea again for time and will have to be
put IN hands for immediate repairs. The passengers
we learn, have generally left Norfolk and many
came up to this city by the regular boats. Among
them is Archdeacon Drew, of the Bahamian Islands
to whom we indebted for the above facts
We learn also that the schooner Henry A. Darling,
from Monevideo for New York, put into Hampton
Roads on Saturday evening, in crippled condition
having lost her spars in gale.

Death of General James J. MCKAY,

ebeeomes our painful duty this morning, to an
hounee the unexpected death of one of our most
worthy ctizens-Gen. .JAMkssJ. Mckay, of Bladen
county. Gen. Mckay arrived here on last Monday
night, from his residence in Bladen, en- route for
larboro, in Edgecombe county, as witness in the
case OF the State against ARMSTRONG Wien we
saw him on Tuesday morning, he was apparently
in better health than for some time previous and
conPersed freely. We learn, that on his return
from Edgecombe ednesday afternoon, he was tai en-
suddenly i'll on board the cars, and on arriving at
GoldsborO, it was found necessary for him to stop,
where he expired, at Mrs. Borden's Hotel at ! be-
fore o'clock yesterday evening, of bilious or cramp
cholic, in the 65th year of his age.
AS public man, Gen Mckay was we'll known to
be firm and consistent Democrat, having served
his constituents for 16 years member of Congress
from this District; and, during that time, al one
period, occupying with marked ability, the high
and very responsible Office of Chairman of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. of which Committee he
was Chairman at the time of the passage of the
Tariff Bill,of 1916. AS q representative, no men,
Der of Congress commanded more attention or re.
spect. He might truly be said to have served his
constituents till he voluntarily retired as nation
al looking to the best inter-
ests of the whole country, and discardng oil fac
tiOus and sectional jealousies
Previous to bis election to Congress, he had been
for many years q practitioner of the Bar, with
marked success, and had often represented his ma
tive County-Bladen-n the State Legislature
After leaving the Halls of Congress, he was elected
Chairman of the Court of Pleas of Bladen county,
having previously been appointed Justice of the
Peace, which post he filled with ability to the day
of his death.
In the death of Gen. MCKAY, the public have lost
oft tried faithful and able servant and his rela-
fives and friends must long his usefulness as
kinsman and neighbor.

These people are idolators, and heretofore have
despised all Christians and their Religion. tits be-

they do, there will be fair chance for the country
to be chrstianized.
l am informed, on good authority, that TENT,
the leader of the insurgents, and who claims to be
Emperor, is favorably inclined to christianity and
that his party favor that religion. 1t is believed that
much of this probable prospect for our religion is
due to the missionary efforts of GUTzLoFF, for many
years past in that country. This is said to have
descended from the Chinese, on his mothers side,

Mr.. EDITOR IL send you to-day. some further
thoughts about the difference between this part of
the country and my loved home in the sunny South
1.-The South abundant in everything that grows
the genial. generous, free, patriotic South-the
South first to in, it will be the last to up
hold the cause of freedom tho South whose love
of freedom, although land Of slavery, was apostro
phised, nobIy, sagaciously eulogized by BURKE, in
the British Parliament, when he raised his warning,
prophetic voice to warn his country against the
rock which she split by forcing her colonies into
revolution.
In my last letter, alluded to the wealth of the
North, on the score of the trades in the mechanic
line. Do not mistake. ! do not mean that they
have more wealth per capita-to the head. Each man
here is poorer than each in any Southern State
even counting the slaves This was ably and en-
tirely proved by Mr.. FISHER, in his pamphlet
Where the population is more dense, here, the
whole mass or Stale, may be wealthier; and yet,
each citizen poorer necessarily poorer.) Anoth-
er thing: the States are smaler-they have fewer
acres to the citizen than where the States are lar
ger ! meant that wealth, in the mechanical arts
and mechanical skill. whereby people are supplied
with all the products and convenences of this skill
without bringing it from abroad. This is wealth of
itself. .~.-

Scarcity OF BREADsTUFFs.-The New York Cour-
Ter and Enquirer thus briefly sums up the accounts
from Europe of The scarcity of breadstuffs:
THE short wheat crop in Europe is the leading
fact OF the day It's reality is no longer questionable
In England, all accounts concur in representing the
wheat crop TO be much below the average ; and the
best authorities estimate that the deficiency will re-
quire the Importation of the enormous quantity of
eighteen millions of quarters before the harvest of
1854. In France, which OF late years has been
grain-exporting country, and which for the last three
years has furnished England with wheat and
-four than any other country, the wheat crop, it is
calculated, has fallen off onefourth the present year.
In large sections Of Italy not half crops expected.
Spain complains of a deficiency. and Sweden has so
poor harvest in prospect, thai she is now largely
importing from the Baltic tits true that other grains
particularly barley oats and rye, have generally
suffered like the wheat, and it is also true that on the
continent the stock of wheat which is secured is
orally Of superior quality but the fact still remains
that account of failure in quantity of this CHIEF
