YELLOW FEVER AT SAvANNAH.-Among the VIC
Tins of yellow fever at Savannah is Mr.. Hilton,
editor of the Daily Georgian, of whom the Troy
Budget thus speaks:
''Mr. Hilton was young man from western
Massachusetts. Some two or three years ago he
went to Savannah, and has since conducted the
Daily Georgian of that city with marked ability
and success, and commendable moderation of
tone. A day or two since we received the last
issue of his weekly sheet, which contained several
well-written obituary notices of prominent VIC
Tins, evidently from the pen of Mr.. Hilton. In
alluding to the fact that some of the Savannah
papers had been suspended, and that those con-
nected with them had fed the city to escape the
pestilence, Mr.. H. said that, Notwithstanding the
danger and difficulties of the attempt, the regular
daily publication of the Georgian would not be
interrupted. few hours later it appears, Mr..
Hilton was numbered among those whose deaths
ne dcplored, and whose commendable traits of
character his eloquent pen had held up to the
world as worthy of admiration.''

Riot, Bleodshed, and a Beer Shop Demsllsheds.

Riot, Bloodshed, and q Beer Shop Demsllsheds-
Our e,ty has been the scene of an affair Ia tho
mob line. The facts are as follows:
On last Saturday evening, some young men
who had been drinking considerably, went to q
beer-grOggery, kept by a German named Shaffer,
with whom they had some difficulty, but they E.
nally left the hole without any very serious row.
A short time afterwards, a young man by tho
name of Thomas Payne, who bears a quiet order
ly character, was fred upon from the door Of
Skaters grocery, as he was passing along tho
street; he was severely wounded,' some seventy
shot entering his arm and hip. An act of such
wanton and lawless character could not fail to
produce strong excitement in the community. But
the matter passed ON until Monday evening, with.
out anything having been done by the authorities
in reference to it; indeed no charge was made
against Shafer, and it was not ascertained who
committed the act.
On Monday night, about ten O'Clock, crowd
OF three or four hundred assembled in front of
Shaffer's establishment, and commenced an as
sault upon 1t by throwing stones and brick. Fire.
arms were discharged upon the crowd from the
building. Dr.. J. Dennis, who was passing along
the sidewalk at the time was slightly wounded in
the shoulder. The crowd with yell, then mado
general charge upon the building, and in short
time completely riddled it.
The front side of the shop and the roof, were
torn off, and the contents Of the establishment,
whiskey, beer, beer, bedsteads, beds, trunks, &C..
were scattered in the streets. The Germans in
the house escaped without injury, as they fed be-
fore any of the mob got in. Mayor Parvin was
present with the police, and made several appeal
to the crowd to desst, but without success.
The church bells were rung by his order, for
the purpose of rOusing the citizens, and great
many Of them were on the ground, spectators Of
the scene, but none of the rioters were arrested,
and probably under the circumstances, the at
tempt would have been useless. About II O'Clock
in the morning, the mob ceased operations, and

A NEGRO ExPEsoR, a sEESsIB!E MAN:-Some
years ago, Faustin l., who wields the imperial
sceptre over the Island of San Domingo, worked
in the sugar and coffee fields for his owner under
the unpretenning name of Soulouque. 1t may
not be unnteresting to know that the former
master of the present emperor is an old and highly
respected citizen of this place, and that from time
to time he receives friendly messages from his old
slave. week or two since, he was pleasantly
surprised with the receipt of several bags of cof-
fee and package of sugar, accompanied by quite
an affectionate letter from his imperial majesty.

Yours in haste.

BoDY FoUsD.-The body Of dead man was
found in the lot adjoining the old Catholic
Church, on Tuesday afternoon last. 1t proved to
be that of young man, of Incorporate habits,
who for several weeks has been lying about the
streets drunk. We learn that he was from Can
ada.
1t is certainly deplorable to record such lam
entable case of intemperance. A young man,
just in the bloom of life, cut down, and that too,
by the insiduous enemy-intoxicating drink
When will men learn not to touch, taste or han
die the poisonous stuff? That young man may
have mother, sisters, brothers, once as dear to
him as any one. He may have had home; but
the habit once fixed, has hurried him rapidly
along over the pathway of life, until now he fills
drunkard's grave. How awful to contemplate,
and yet there arc others following in the same
track. Stop young man! Heed the warning -
You know not how soon you may follow that
young man to your last resting place, and oh the
bitter tears that will be shed by those who once
loved to greet you around the domestic hearth.
We again ask you to pause and gaze for mo-
ment on the shattered remnants of that corpse,
and then cast the intoxicating cup from you.

GENERAL cAss AND SENATOR DOUGLAS.

Gen. Cass recently made speech at Detroit,
his home, in which he uttered the following:
'sIt was true the northern sentiment was op-
posed to savery-it was natural that it SHOULD
be. He was opposed to it, and had said in the
Senate that it was political evil, and many
other things greatly to the displeasure Of the
South, and would stick to it under all circumstan-
ces," &c. s'He thanked God that he lived in a
free state" ''He maintained that the Nebraska
bill did not open Kansas and Nebraska to slave
ry-if it did he would yield all argument-but
slavery could not 90 there unless the people
themselves wanted it. Slavery is not recognized
in the territories and is only subject to local laws
every man there is free-nO slave, no master is
recognized until the people voted it. Unpervert-
ed human feeling is opposed to slavery" &c.
For this expression Of his position, the Rich
mond Enquirer reads him out of the party
Hear it {: .-,..r.i
eff his language be correctly given in the re-
port of his speech, he has severed the last cord
which bound him to the democracy of the South.
Henceforth he must rank with Benton and Van
Buren, as one who has insulted our feelings and
betrayed our confidence. The weak attempt to
serve two masters, to reconcile devotion to the
constitution with submission to abolitionism-an
attempt to which he was persuaded by the sug-
gestions of an undying ambtion-has placed
him with these illustriOus apostates, in the limbo
of lost and dishonored politicians" usr
The Enquirer then turns round and praises
Douglas.
''It is refreshing, in contrast with this specta-
BILE of weakness and duplicity, (Cass.) to contem-
plate the manly and fearless course Of Senator
Douglas. 1t is his fortune, as it has been BEFORE
to encounter a more vehement and vindictive ex-
preston of popular indignation, but, with a
courage rare in these days as it is admirable, he
stands erect under the pelting of the storm, and
hurls defiance in the teeth Of the mad and hoot-
ing mob. He does not shrink from the response
bility of a faithful discharge Of duty"
To which the Galena Jefersonian (Dem.) re-
tOrts: ....
Gen. Cass, dares to say that slavery is an in
stitution of local law ; and he is no Democrat.
Mr.. Douglas passes the Nebraska bill, repeals
the Compromise that he once declared sacred,
betrays and outrages his constituency, by provi
ding a legal warrant for the extension Of the
''institution'' over country now free; and he
rises at once to the dignity Of democratic demi-
god!

The only issue before the people of Minnesota,

into their own hands, or to go ir,evoeably and

ding: ,.-.-e,
Said Company in their eagerness to get these
lands, upon notice published for the frst time
on the Both Of June, in the New York Times, met
on the lst July, and organized by electing diree-
tors, one Ofwhom, at least, living in Minnesota,
was not a stockholder, Il mean Lyman Dayton,
charter expressly required that each director
should be stockholder, unless indeed they took
stock for him, without his knowledge or con-
sent.
This only shows the nice lingering that was going
on in an under-handed way.
The Governor concludes with the following
paragraph:
must be permitted to express my utter sur
prise that Senator Jones should have got into
such budget of errors and blunders about the
part he has attributed to me in this matter.
We have given the essential points in the Gov
ernor's letter, or rather those points which have
not been dwelt upon in the columns of the. Times.
With the great flood of light which has been shed
upon this subject from time to time, we now
leave the matter in the hands of the voters.

The Sandwich Islands-Terms of Annexation.
The Albany Evening Journal learns from well
informed sources at Washington, that the terms
of annexation of the Sandwich Islands to the
United States are substantially as follows:
The Islands are to be at once admitted into the
Union, not as Territory, but as &ate-with
full State sovereign power. In consideration of
this surrender of their national sovereignty, the
United States, Decides agreeing to respect ali ex-
sting charters, land titles, &C., are to pay some
three or four hundred thousand dollars annually,
life annuites, to such persons as the sovereign
authorities shall designate. It is believed that
the number who will be declared entitled to share
in this annuity, will not exceed thirty individuals,
including the King, his two sons, and the mem
bers of the House Of Mobiles, all of whom are
now rich, and constitute the great landholders Of
the kingdom. Their ages will average about 40
years and the sum to Be paid each, will cease to
be a debt Of the United States Government at
their death.
Besides the sovereignty of the Islands all the
Government property including buildings, claims
on foreign Governments, &C., will, it Is under
stood, be transferred to the q. S. Government by
this Treaty. The value Of these buildings alone
said to exceed ST. 500 900, and the claims mp
on the British and French Governments to about
100000 more; making an aggregate of g.
0OO,O00.
