Miss DIX AND Mr.. CoLLINs.-Wheu Miss
Dix called to pay her passage to Europe, the
clerk handed her the receipt, saying that Mr..
Collins had directed him to take no pay from
her. On board the vessel she found the best
accommodation provided for her. On render
ing her thanks to Mr.. Collins, he told her
that he was proud to be able, as an individual,
to repay portion of the debt which the ma
ton owed her. Miss Dix, with that disinter-
ested benevoleuce which has characterized her
whole life, Immediately invested the money
thus saved in life insurance of $4,000 for the
benefit OF the Insane Asylum at Trenton,
N. J.
Mr.. Collins was on board the ship when
Miss Dix arrived, and she approached to ten
der her thanks but taking her hands in his,
with an emotion that did him houor, he said.
"The nation, Madam, owes you debt of
gratitude which it can never pay, and of
which, l, as an individual, am too happy to be
thus privileged to mark my sense"
Miss Dix could reply only with tears, for,
as was evident to all who saw her, her nerv-
ons system is completely Frustrated. Could
we expect it to be otherwise in view Of her
immense labors and her grevious disappoint-
ments. In sixteen states, this delicate woman
has had the satisfaction to see asylums for the
insane established under her influence, and
still she leaves in the United States, twenty
one thousand insane persons, lodged in dun
geons or pens, not less loathsome or more com
Portable than pig thousand
whom she has herself seen, and whose mise
ries are therefore fully known to her. 1t was
in behalf OF these that she petitioned Congress.
After years of earnest toll and patient wait
ing, she saw her hopes for them on the eve OF
accomplishment. The picture of comfortable
lodging and kind and judicious attendance,
restoring them once more TO the condition of
men, rose before her. She was ready to say,
"NIy work is done-Lord now lettest Thou
Thy servant depart in peace"
The word OF one man-the President of her
country-has struck down her hopes-can we
wonder that with her hopes her life has well
nigh fallen.

The YELLOW FEVER IN SAvANNAH$-MEL-
ANcHoLY INFATuATIoN.-A private letter from
Savannah, of the Sd inst, contains the fol-
lowing incident connected with the rayages of
the yellow fever in that city:
"About four weeks ago a man came to this
city with his wife and two small children, one
OF them an infant at the breast. He was from
Philadelphia and on his way to Texas. On
arriving here his funds gave out, and he was
obliged to stop and go to work. His wife fell
sick soon after landing here, and some of the
neighbors hearing of it, called in to see her,
when they found her and her husband on the
floor, and she dying IN his arms. The hus-
band subsequently took the fever; the Odd
Fellows visited him. and rendered him assis-
lance, Che being in state of AFFECT poverty
but he declined receiUing their aid, because the
Bishop aoas opposed to the order,-he being a
Roman Catholic. He died last night, and is
already buried"

The dwelling of Mr.. Thomas Denny, Clin-
ton Place, New York, was left vacant nearly
two months lasr summer, while the family
were absent in the country On the return
of the proprietor, it was found the entire
premises were saturated with water-furniture
irreparably damaged, ceiling thrown down,
&c. 1t was ascertained that during the pro-
tracted drought some sagacious rat, in search
ing for the whereabout to quench his thirst,
had knawed into lead pipe between the
floors. The perforation was not larger than
pins head. A piano that cost $3.50 year
ago, was sold for $40; carpets, door mats, and
such like articles, were rotted so as to fall to
pieces upon being removed; pictures were in

The CorroN CRoP. - The following is an
extract from letter from well informed
source dated Graniteville; near Augusta, Ga.,
Aug. 30, 1854:
"There is at this date one OF the largest
crops of cotton being gathered i'll this place
that has ever been made. If it is not destroy
ed by storms, or cut short by ear " frost, the
price of cotton must rule lower for the next
wear. The present crop is very early, and
