that she VIII reflect much credit upon Capt Potter weu
as upon her builder This makes the fourth steamer

THE OLD CRY OF "WoLr."-The Mobile Rags
ter, in discussing the recent proceedings Of the
government against the Walker filibusters, says
that these things are pregnant with serious con-
sequences, not only to the administration, but to
the permanence Of the government ITSELF" that
'they are among the gravest OF the signs which
indicate that there is no hope for Us in the South
except in the last resort Of q wronged and in
jured people, This IL about the faintest and
most amusing cackle Of disunion that we have
heard Of for long time The projected lawlcss
expedition Of gang Of lawless iilibusters is ar
rested, when 10. the administration and the GO
vernment are threatened with 1.-THE last resort Of
a wronged and injured people" The Mobile
Register 6re-cater ought to be ashamed Of such
childish nonsense. In thus humbugging its
neighbors upon every paltry disappointment with
the cry Of wolf, WOLF" what faith can il expect
i'm its alarm IL the wolf should really come? Our
frc-eating and ilibustering contemporary will be
treated with derision, like the fool OF the fable
Wait little and let us see II the administration
does not settle this Nicaragua business to the
satisfaction Of the country.

THE MILITARY OF New YoRK.-Thc memora-
BILE event of the evacuation of New York by the
British forces was celebrated yesterday in the
accustomed fashion, by grand military display.
1t is unnecessary to say that the appearance and
soldierly man9uvrcs II the First division were
entitled to our admiration and praise The fact
is that the organization of our city troops
has become so perfect, the esprit du
corps SO high, and the discipline SO rigid,
that except in numbers alone, hardly a
city in Europe can excel them on occasions
like that of yesterday. Some of our regiments,
especially the Seventh, have frequently elected
the warm Communications of officers Of the regu-
lar army, and generous rivalry has stimulated
other regiments, such as the Eighth, the Seventy
first, and others, until they have become hardly
second in discipline to the crack corps, as it is
called, of the division. A marked improvement
has been also effected in the military by the
adoption of a regular uniform in each regiment,
and closer adherence to the army regulations,
without which neither their appearance nor their
discipline can be said to be perfect There is no
city in the Union that can compare with New
York in this respect, and the metropolis may
well be proud Of her military organization-o
her volunteer standing army.

ACCIDENT TO GENERAL Considerable
excitement and sympathy were created through
out the city yesterday by the report that the dis
tinguished Venezuelan patriot, General Paes,
had met with serious accident by the fall Of his
horse while joining the line of military on Broad
way. II was feared last night that the injury
would prove fatal. Il is much to be regretted that
calamity should have befallen the illustrious
gentleman on an occasion when the closing
scenes of his long exile were being brought to
such happy termination, and it is to be hoped
that his departure in the national vessel appro-
priated to his use will not be delayed His
countrymen are awaiting with anxious anticipa-
tons his return to Venezuela Whey are elated
with pride at the honor and respect paid to him
here, where he has spent so many years, both by
the government and people, and they look to
him who has served SO well in the past, relying
upon his disinterested patriotism and his know
ledge of our institutions to elevate the dignity
and prosperity of their republic, which has been
so long suffering from plundering and wicked
administration Intelligence of his misfortune
will be received in Venezuela with profound
sensation and universal sorrow.
General Paez, we are sure has the synpathies
of every one in New York in his untimely mis-
fortune, which may perhaps materially affect the
destinies of his country, should his return be
long delayed thereby. In the unsettled condi-
ton Of South America. who can tell what change
a month may bring about Venezuela, now
waiting to receive her exiled chief, may be
plunged in revolution, and the whole aspect of
affairs changed in that time.

The Caddo Gazette Of Saturday last has the fol.
lowing:
The weather continues excessively dry. The dust
is ntoerabe on the roads from this pluce aud water
is becoming very scarce for wagoneIs Rain at this
season Of the year cannot the pen and potatoe
crops, and is only needed t0r purposes Of navigation
and home consumption. The cotton crop, which is
very light on the Upands would be severely damaged
by wet weather.
The planters on Red river are luxuriatlng upon the
drought. They do not want drop Of rain before
December The crop on the bottoms will be magnifi.
cent il they are not injured by the storms aud floods,
Taking all things into consideration, do not think
that rain would add TO the wealth OF Shreveport and
the Red river country.
The quality Of cotton is very fine and will, to some
extent, balance the loss in quantity We have seen
no samples OF the new crop under good midlling.
The Red River American, Of Saturday, says:
The weather for the past week has been truly de-
lightiul, but are suffering for the want Of rain.
We have not had drop for about four weeks.
Some Of our sugar planters have commenced
grinding. We have seen a sample of the sugar that
is being made at the plantation Of hr. A. f. Flint by
Nh lipugh, which is OF very superior quality The
crop, however, will tail short.
The ST. Martin Iberau, of Saturday, says that rair
Is much needed in that parish, and that the sugar
crop must fall short without it.
The pesoto Columbian, OF Saturday last, says:
The prospect with regard to the cotton crop O
this parish is still that short one will be made Til
early cotton was eUr off by the spring drought, uu
timely rains and the boil worm and the late cutto
is being ruined by the present dry weather and th
caterpillar, which has made its appearance every
where throughout the parish.

Loss OF THE STEAMER FANNY HARBIs-The Da.
venport (Towal Gazette Of the 3Gth nit says. ID rs
gard to the sinking Of the Fanny Harris by collision
With the piers Of the Rock Island bridge
The accident occurred at about O'Clock as stated
which is about two hours after the usual time of the
Fannys arrival. She was not proceeding fast to
make up fer lost time, bat was goin4 lower than
usual at the time, in consequence Of slight fog
or mist prevailing. In conversation we had with
the captain he said that the boat was passing through
the piers OF the Rock island Railroad BRIDGE as he
thought, handsomely, when, to his surprise she
struck the stone pier with great force SO that ii sent
her up against the big pier with almost equal force
which knocked the bow 50 that the boats direction
was turned towards Rock Island. The starboard vas
almost carried away and the larboaYd was aIsa cfl-
sderably injured by the collision and the starboerd
bow was stove in but it very evident that these
not all the injuries for the hold rapidly SIZED
with water, which stopped the engines and put out
the lights 1t may be well conceived that the confu-
sion among the seventyiYe passengers was great
but their fears were qHelIed when She Fanny Harris
whistles were promptly responded to by the ferry
boat, which came alongside in few minutes When
Captain Webb found the hull filling so RAPIDLY be
determined to make for Rock Island. The -fres and
lights were reiighted and the boat steered for that
point, but on arriving there it was found ID he too
deep water, and the captain pushed for Willow
Island, where she was run on bar without further
damage. Her guards were above water but her hold
was filed She lay on the bar fair and square as
though nothing had occurred to her.
Two men were lost by the accident, and it IS sup
posed they were thrown overheard BY the force oT
the collision and drowned or crushed against the
/ Diers.

SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1858.

The WEATHER-A bracing cooIness infused itself
into the sunny atmosphere Of yesterday, and this,
with the faint mellow haze which marks the advent
Of the Indian summer rendered it joy to be out Of
doors. Everything looked bright, pleasant and gay,
with one exception, and that was the auttering of
funeral notices on the public doorways and street
posts The fever is as plentiful and fatal in beautiful
weather as in bad.
HEALTH OF THE CITY-The second Saturday in
October has arrived and yet we are unable to report
any decinein the yellow fever The Board of Health
report the number Of deaths by the fever throughout
the city for the twentyfour hours ending Thursday
noon to be 58
The mortality of the previous Thursday (Septem-
Der SOthJ was Al and last Saturday the course Of
the fever for the seyera previous days was such We
thought, as to warrant US in announcing decline
Since then the fever has sprung up to as high range
almost as it had in the midst of September; and we
regret that at this late stage of the season. we can
not cheer country friends and impatient absen-
tees with news of a decline in the epidemic.
The following is the report Of Charity Hospital for
the week ending last evening, Friday, Oct. 8th, at
o'clock:
Admitted raIl dfseasasl .9}I
Discharged Il Of yellow fever. ........., 2i2
Died ql2 Of Segw feyerJ 22
Showing an increase in the mortality by the fever
Of 81 over the previous week. 1t will be noticed that
the fever deaths exceed the fever discharges by one
Last week there were 1913 discharges to s. deaths.
Two things are readily disclosed by these compari-
sons. First the increase Of mortality at the hospital
shows that the fever is feeding upon fresh uel--the
ignorant and stupid people who rush into the city
without waiting for the fever to subside. And
secondly, the proportion Of deaths to discharges
the deaths this week outnumbering the discharges,
whilst last week the discharges largely outnumbered
the deaths-shows that the fever is twice as malig-
nant aud fatal to new comers as to those who we're
partly prepared for the fever by previous residence
here.
IT, in the face Of these facts and figures, unaccm,
ated people will insist upon rushing into the city
why, We say, let them come. They will be taken
care Of SO far as human bency0ence and energy can
avail and when they die, there will be no difficulty
in finding room for their remains in the cemeteries
Many lives have already been lost this season by not
heeding the timely warnings of the Crescent and
Other city papers.
