Southern merchants who do business in New

"Southrrn merchants do indeed keep away

CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS AT THE NORTH.
From the present state of Northern society,
Notwithstanding the encomiums pronounced
upon it in certain we'll known portions OF this

THE YEAR 1854.

The memory of the present year VIII inTer
long and painfully 1.-THE hearts OF men. Turn
ing in almost any direction, the eye Is met with
the traces of pcsiiience, desolatlon and death.
In the West Indies, the dread cholera has now
ed down lis thousands and in the Island Of
Barbadocs, above seventeen thousand victims in
the last few months, sadly attest the might and
power of its arm. On the shores Of The EuXine
and Baltic, from the ranks of the various armies
msrshalled for glory and conquest, one hundred
thousand soldiers have fallen by the same un-
seen, yet resisiless foe. They have been denied
even the heFo's desperate wish, of dying at the
cannon's mouth, with the music of battle SCUM
ding in his ears but inglorously, in the dense
and plague scented hospital, they have made the
last sacrifice to fame and country.
And at our own doors, what 4 spectacle!
The last fall and winter were almost unprece-
dcntcd III the destruction Of life and property
bv fires in the Northern cities, and BY storm
and shpwrcck along The extending pain OF com
mercc. 1t cannot be forgotten how, day after
day, we were called on 10 chronicle the loss OF
some noble ship, gone down, with her crew ana
cargo, TO the chambers Of tie deep. Spring re-
turned, and with it the labors and the hopes OF
the husbandman The seasons were propitouS,
and all things promised abundance. In South
Carolina, never before did the prospects seem
brighter. Cotton, Rice. and the provision crops
all looked we'll And this condition of things
continued with but little change until one week
ago when storm uncluallcd in TIE memory
of the present generation swept over us, leaving
in its track dcsoIaion and ruin. In our city. It's
work is TO be seen in almost every object Which
meets the eve, while from the country every
mail brings in the most sickenlng tdlngS OF loss
and destruction The Rice cropis cut of one
half. The Sea Island Cotton fields are strewn
with their lust maturing fruit. The entire Low
Country of Carolina and Georgia has been
severely and bitterly visited.
But our disasters have not stopped here. A
worse calamity is upon us in the ravages OF the
Yellow Fever. Our sister city of Savannah has
been Il lazarhouse for 4 number Of weeks past.
Her people have fled by thousands from the
jaws of the unsparing pcsience, and stand atar
off, watching, while it sweeps away The lew who
remain Il is spectacle TO excite the deepest
sympathy, and call forth our best aid. Char
lesion in abundant gratitude be it spoken, has
thus far been less sorely stricken. But ii Is I'M
possible to note tho hearses which are constantly
vending their sad way through our streets, ana
every day more fHquert without feeling that
we too, are afflicted. Our season, which opened
with such fair promise, has been darkened by 4
cloud Of misfortunes. When we thus sum up
our sorrows, we are reminded of the history ol

THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE-CiRCA
VICTORY.

From The Iogd0s Ti.es Sept IL.
Our columns this morning contain the most salts
factory intelligence which has yet been received from
the seat of war IN Asia. After the intrgues and i'm.
beciiy which have hitherto characterized the pro-
ceediDgs OF the Turkish army in Armens, it is
ching to turn TO the vigorous inroad OF Schamyl
ana his Circasssn followers into the very heart OF
Georgia aud to calculate the amount of injury which
be has inflicted ON the common enemy. In great
battle near Tfis the Russians utterly defeated
by their old and implacsble foe. They lsst, We are
informed, many men, seven guns, 5000 tents, and
" all their Baggage, and, in addition, all the pro-
Visions and ammunition Of the Russians fell into
1.-the hands Of the yic,ors. 1t is by exploits such Is
thes.-by bnd and frequent blows on wellfought
fields, and by diplomatic negotiations or by naval
de- demonstrations which lead to nothing-thst the En-
p,ror Nicholas will be brought TO feel the hopeless
nature Of the struggle into which he has rushed and
that peace will be restored to the world. No wonder
then that after such signal overthrow the Russian
power in Georgia should toter 10 its fall, and that
Prince BebutOf should be summoned from Armenia
10 restore if possible the fallen fortunes Of his In
ne rial uaster.
