New ORLEANS, July 30, 1855.
TO The Hon. J. p. Benjamin;
Sir: The State of Louisiana is on the eve Of n
general election. The crisis is momentous TO the
people Of this State and Of the whole of the United
States, powerful national party organization
has sprung up under the name of the American
party, whose published national proceedings and
acts, declare objects and purposes which we deem
destructive TO the most sacred principles of the
Constitution, and voatve Of the political and re-
ligious rights secured by that sacred instrument.
Believing that, upon the issue now made
throughout this widespread Republic, the Con-
sttution of the United States is to stand or fall,
and knowing that the occasion must have aroused
your iveest attention, citizen, a lover OF
your country. and the representative of our State
in the Senate of the United States; we, as your
personal and political friends feel desire to have
a public expression of your views upon this all
absorbing question. BY complying with onr re-
quest you will obligc many of the true old Wings.

THE sCoURGE Ar NoRFoLK.

The following despatch, which we copy from
the Baltimore Sun of yesterday, presents gloomy
picture Of the sufierings Of the people of Norfolk
and Portsmouth:
NoRFoLK, Aug. l6.-The fever is still very bad
here and at Portsmouth. Mr. Nash Tatem, the
Chief Inspector of the Navy Yard, is dead; Mayor
Wodis, of this city, is i'll; Com. Barron is sup
posed to be dying, and DIR. Sylvester is dying.
The fever has extended from the infected district
To the upper part of Norfolk. 7. 5. Broughton
jr., son of the editor ofthe Herald, is dying.
Great difficulty is experienced in getting
nurses, and as high as SO per night is charged
for attendance upon the sick.
Portsmouth is almost depopulated. There are
not more than 800 people remaining in tho
place. Col. John Harper, John Is. Davis, Ma
thaniel Manning, and Emily Wilson, are dead
and many other prominent citizens are i'll.

We publish to-day the letter of Senator BenJa-
min, of Louisiana, on the subject of know-noth-
ism. The source from which il emanates is SO
high and the positions it takes are SO conserga-
tive and patriotic, that il has already attracted
large share of public attention.
Let the Wings Of the South hearken to the
facts so forcibly presented by Mr.. Benjamin. lie
is one of the ablest, truest and most eloquent
leaders of the Old Line Wings. They can re-
ceive what such man says without suspicion

Daniel webster and sidney smith.

During Mr.. Webster's visit in England he
made the acquaintance Of Rev. Sidney Smith
The latter introduced him TO Lord Brougham,
and accidentally presented him as Mr.. Clay. The
incident was mentioned at the time in this coun-
try and was attributed TO Smith : love Of a Joke
Hearing Of this report, Mr.. Smith wrote TO Mr.
Webster denying it, and explaining the mistake
Mr. Webster wrote in reply the following:

u.s. The American people are a kind-besrted
people. They are quick to relieve distress as
they are to- resent insult However dscordant
the sections Of this confederacy may DO in poll
teal aspect, yet no great affection befals any
portion of the country, north south, east or
west, that does not instantly bring out all those
sweet charities that so much adorn human nature.
When pestilence walketh at MONDAY, striking
down the high and the low, the young and the
old, the rich and the poor, the young man in his
full-developed vigor, the maiden in her lowell
ness-when death shows his pallid face az every
turn and in every habitation-when panic seizes
upon all and the rich hasten from the dread
scene Of sickness, sorrow, and death, leaving
the poor without employment, without food /,
without the means Of escapc--without hope
u Is at such a time as this that the chart
ties Of the good and the bountes of the gen
erous descend like genial and gentle showers
upon the sick, the suffering, and the despairng.
We can scarcely take up nj a newspaper that
does not speak OF some meeting that has been,
or IS TO be- held, IN order TO get up contributions
for The afflicted people Of Norfolk, Portsmouth,
and GosPort. II is well-for they need all the
assistance that can be rendered them
The accounts from those now desolate places
are indeed most distressing. The heart sickeng
at them. Let us in all great cities remember
that il is our privilege to relieve; il may be
but brief space before we will have 20 invoke
relief from others. Charity is twice blessed it
blesseth him who gives, and him who receives.

The NEBRASKA BILL.-Twenty-six Of the thir-
ty-one States have elected members of the new
Congress. The total number of members thus
far elected, exclusive of Trumbul, of Illinois,
and Morris, of Massachusetts, (who have re-
signed,) is 207. OF these 10 were members OF
the last Congress- of which number, 40 voted
for the Nebraska bill, and 81 against it. More
reelected who voted for the bill, than who voted
against it, 5. In this calculation we assume that
Taylor, of Tennessee, who voted against the bill,
is defeated. The States Of Maryland, Georgia,
Mississippi Louisiana, and Texas, are yet to
elect, or to be heard from, and send 25 members.
Since writing the above, we have intelligence
by telegraph that exGoveror Bell, has been
elected to Congress from Texas. She sends two
members Journal Of Commerce.

STEAM PLow.-The last attempt to harness
steam to the plow, took place at the exhibition OF
the Royal Agricultural Society at Carlisle, Eng.
July %. A steam cutivator was entered by MIR.
Usher, but unhappily failed by short span, to
reach the ground. While travelling on the road
il mired in soft spot, and was not easily extri-
Gated. 1t is described as being complicated and
clumsy of locomotion. A few experiments were
made with it in blowing, but il seems to have
been regarded invention more ingenious
than useful. Notwithstanding this failure. we
are strong in the faith that steam will yet be sue
cessfnlly introduced on the blowing field. Steam
engines are coming into very common use in
England, among the farmers They use them
for driving thrashing machinery, cutting fodder,
raising water and variety of other purposes. -
