yellow Fever at New Orleans-.YOuth OF
its Victims. A n Incident.
[From the N. o. Crescent, August L


The fever Of this year, we observe, is unus-
ualiy severe on young people. Every other
funeral we see down town, the coffin and
Grape are white. Passing a knot of women
yesterday, we heard one say It's awful bad
among the young folks knew splendid

old" The different benevolent societies are
making every preparation to attend to the
fever it gets within their ranks.
a French ship was towed up the river and
landed at one of the Third District wharves,
OH Saturday night. She had quite number
OF French einigrantS on board, who, in their
joy at nearing the land of freedom, joineI
heart and soul in singing the anti-NapOleonic
hymn known as the " Marseillaise" They
kept on singing alter the slip was made fast.
police officer, going on bt ard, stepped up
to them, and said to them in their own lar
guage, Gentl men, don't sing so lou,l; there
are a great many sick people about here, for
the yellow fever is very bad" This was the
first the rmigrants knew of the fever being
in the city and they at once stopped singing
-incontinently wited-with feelings which
may better be imagined than described.--
Among the passengers were eleven Catholic
Priests and four nuns, who expressed not q
little alarm saying that, as they had come
over by invitation of the Archbishop, they
felt it would be his duty to send them back
or to some other place of safety as soon as
possible. This is certainly bad time of
year for foreign immigrants to land in New
Orleans.

WISCONSIN MEN Building Minnesota
Railroads.

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the
Graham Bros, of Whitewater, brought to
this place, AMI shipped to St. Paul on the
Milwaukee, fourteen car loads of Irishmen,
AoIses, carts, gravel-carts, wheelbarrows, &C.,
for the purpose of beginning work on the
Cedar Valley Road, in Minnesota, of which
they have contract to build the first twenty
miles, commencing at Minneapolis. Their
head quarters are now at or near Mendoza, a
few miles from Fort Smelling. The Grahams
are extensively known as prompt, energetic,
successful railroad contractors in this State,
and they bear with them to their new field o t
honorable enterprise the good wishes of hosts
Of friends. Our Minnesota neighbors will
find that if Wisconsin Railroad managers are
uDenviably famous for their sharpness in bond
and mortgage operations, our railroad con-
structo:s are justly noted for pronptness in
their more Legitimate and neritorous field of
action. More skiilful than our fnanciers,

Ship Building Extraordinary,

1t is clear thzt ship-building is merely in

to be outrcached 10y the Levathan. We are
is.iorrne that at New York they are build

no part of the ocean sufiic ntly broad to en-
able it to turn. This difficulty is to be obvi-
ated by the ship having two wholesome on

The passengers will simply have to walk
across. Long before you have had time to
stroll from one wheel to another, you will be

Of those who cannot keep up with the speed
of tie vessel. An omnibus will also start at
the commencement Of each trip. 1t guaran-
tees to reach the other extremity of the YES

touches at the desired harbor. For the ac-
commodation Of pedestrians, persons going
from England to America are requested keep
on the right hand side of the vessel, whilst
passengers walking from the American CONT

pected to pay for the outlay o: the building.
The ship is not yet christened, but it is ex-
pected that, out of compliment to the Yam

Gerrit Smith on the Personal Liberty

Gerrit Smith on the Personal Liberty
Law.
Since the nomination Of Gerrtt Smith for
the Office of Governor of New York, he is
being called upon to answer some very point
ed questions. An Eastern exchange has the
following:
"Gerr;tt Smith being nterrog lted by one
of his audience, the other day. at Oswego, as
to what he meant by a pers 'nal-liberty law,
replied that he had endeavored to procure
the passage of law consigning to the State
prison any one who should assist in restoring
his brother man to the hell of slavery. Ifhe
were Governor, before he would see one black
baby taken by violence out of the jurisdic-
ton of the State, he would see ten thousand
men shed their blood for its protection.
The inquiry was then put by gentleman
in the audience, whether he expected, II
elected. to take the oath to support the con-
stitutlOn OF the States and if so, under what
clause he would find authority for such pro-
cedure as he had just announced himself ready
to execute. He replied that he would take
the oath Of Office, because he could not 9th
erwise WELD its powers but he evaded the
latter part of the question by asking his in
terrogator whether he would not, if Cover
nor, defend child from its murderers by the
lives of ten thousand men, or protect the in
habitantS Of OswegO from invasion at all costs.
Being pressed for more direct response, he
said that he recognised no law for slavery,
and if any part of the constitution counte-
nanced it, that part was only blank paper to
him. He would exercise his own judgment
as to what was right, and would not be
bound by any decision of the Court OF Appeals
in respect to law which involved great
moral question.

Curious kfect on Signals by Passing
Over the Cable.

1t is asserted bv letters from Trinity Bay
that the delay in sending messages across the
Atlantic is owing to two causus. 1t appears
that in the passage of one electric signal
across the Ocean-nOt only is an appreciable
time oOpsumed-but the signals itself chan
ges in degree, its original character 1t is,
so 10 speak, stretched out. signal which,
on short line, would seem perfectly sharp
and prompt, takes the form OF a long wave,
and requires Or 10 secs. to declare itself be-
tween the beginning of its effect and its end.
Between What signal would be at the end
of a short wire, and what it is at the end of
the Atlantic wires, there is somewhat the
same difference that there is between the
shortest, staccato blast of a whistle, and a
note drawn out with the swell of an organ, to
the length of six or even ten seconds. A
distinct feature to be observed is the s,oeu of
the prolonged signal. 1t has most force in
the mildle of its period, and gains and loses
that force gradually. The ordinary instru-
ments in use for telegraphng are not adapted
to such peculiarties in the electric signals,
and therefore material alterations will have
to be made. Hence, the delay, according to
these letter writer's.

The Solar Eclypse which is to take place
early this month, is attracting the attention
Of the scientific world everywhere, except
here. Astronomers in England are particu-
larly busy in their preparations for the grand
event. The best points of observation are
decided to be on the coasts of Brazil and
Peru, in South America. The British Ad-
miraity has detailed government vessel to
proceed to the former locality, and the Eng
lish government is furnishing every facility
for corps ofastronomers and scientific men,
who have agreed 10 there to take the desired
observations.
The occasion is deemed the most impor-
tant that has occurred, or is to occur, for
many years, so far as the interests of science
are concerned, and that government is acting
with degree of tnoughtiulness and liberai-
tv highly creditable. We understand that
imilar expedition will be arranged from
this country to proceed to the Western coast
of South America.

Important Discovery.

We have been shown piece of clay, or, as
it is termed, illuminating Clay" by Mr..
Frederick II. Southworth, the gentleman who
discovered it, from which gas can be procur-
ed. Mr.. SOuthworth is an American resident
of Rio Janero, who tested its properties and
applied the same to the making of gas. 1t
gives seven cubic feet of gas to the pound,
while coal gives but three and halt cubic
feet to the pound.
The article is of the color of clay, and
looks like coal in its pure state. 1t will burn
like wax when held to the flame of match.
1t is found in large deposits on the banks of
navigable rivers, and will, from the we'll
known perseverance OF the discoverer, be US
ed by all gas companies in Brazil and be-
come an article of expectation. The Imperi-
al Government have taken hold of this, aud
Mr.. Southworth has applied for patent for
the exclusive privilege of making gas from
this material, which, no doubt, he will get, as
he is very popular with the Government at

VEINS, for the celebration tomorrow:
AK-"StarSpa Banner"
Oh say not the old times were brshte than these,
When banners were torn from warriors that bore
them;
Oh say not the ocean, the storm and the breeze
Are free'st, or proudest when war thunders o'er
them;
For the battles red light pale to the light,
When the pen wields its power or thought feels its
might,
Now mind reigns triumphant where slaughter has
Oh God bless the President God save the Queen
Let the joy of the world in rich harmony rise,
Let the sword kiss its sheath and the cannen its
thunder,
Now intellect reigneth the earth to the skies,
And science links nation that 81 all sunder,
Where the mermaids still! weep and the pearls lie
Thought flashes in fire. through the fathomless deep
Now mind reigns triumphant where slaughter has
been,
Oh God bless our President God save the Queen
When the sun set of yesterday Hooded the west,
Our old mother country lay far in the distance,
Bat the lightning las struck close her breast
That beautiful land which first gave existence;
And feel with start the quick pulse of the Aeart
And the mother and child are no longer apart,
For mind regns triumphant where slaughter has been,
Oh ! God bless the President Oh God the
Queen.
The blood that was kindred, throbs through US once
And the glow of our Joy fills the depths of the ocean,
1t thrills through the and it sings the shore,
Till the globe to its poles feels the holy commotion
Let Us join in might be earnest for light
Where the Saxon blood burns let it strive for the
right,
For mind reigns triumphant where slaughter has
Oh God bless our President. Oh God save the
Queen!

THE CONSJMNIATION.

When the old mountains o'er the flood,
Raised their great foreheads, solemnly,
Sending their first bewildered look,
Eaca unto each across the sea;
From peak to peak the rainbow flame
Sprang, with ITS telegraph of light,
And all TIL dark, diving chasm,
Was composed by an arch of might.
The smile that broke upon their brows-
cleaning Joy through giant tears
Was Gods own silent prophecy,
And promise for the coming years.
The deep receded to his bounds,
The lands lay severed; but on high
Still shc ne tue woEdrous Nuptial Ring,
Held as a pressage ia the sky
With vision awed, We read to-day
The glowing augury of Time
And stretch our half-believng hands
To grasp the accomplishment sublime.

"God has been with us it is DONE"
The marriage blessing has been given,
And the two Continents are one
o ''wedded worlds ~ what God hath Joined
Let never passion dare to part;
But, down the golden blossoming age,
Go hand in hand, and heart with heart.
The slender bread beneath the sea,
That throbs through all its living length
With comm on joy-still may it be
A deathless bond Of peace and strength
So the great promise, sealed in light.
And gift that doth the grace fulfill

From deep to deep shall answer still;
Till the last Angels mighty stride
Shall span the ocean and the shore,
AMI floods shrink silent, with his voice
Proclaims that seas shall be no more

perintendent had recently discovered the re-
mains of forest of trees, which had been
embedded in the slate road above the large
vein, fragments Of which, by fall had been
detached, and now lie in confuson-stumps
roots, limbs, and impressions of bark, in the
stumps, as perfect as if just drawn from the

Democratic State Convention of Mich
iTan.

DETROIT, Sept. 2.-Thc Democratic State
Convention was held here to day, of which
Hon. Robert McClelland was President.
The following nominations were made: Gov
ernor, Chas. Stuart, of Kalamazoo county;
Lieut.. Governor, G. G. Munroc, of Hillsdale;
Secretary Of State, j. G. King, Macklnac;
Supt. OF Public instruction ID. C. Jacobs,
of Wayne; Treasurer, Edward Kanter OF
Wayne; Com. of Land Office, John Ball, oil
Kent; Auditor, Gen. j. J. Adams, of Lena
wee; Attorney General, j. Sutherland, OF
Saginaw; Member Board Education, A. Y.
Moore, of Kalamazoo. Resolutions were
adopted declaring adherence to the Cincin-
natl Platform, asserting the right of the pec-
pie to vote upon tLeir Constitutions if they
so desire; expressing confidence in Buchanan's
Administration, and congratulatiag the coun-
try upon settlement Of the arch and seizure
question on the basis of the Gen. Cass pro-
test.
Rather curious hotch potch of incon-
sistent positions-a sort of "Good Lord,
Good Devil" policy. But such is Democ-
racy nowadays. Having no principles which
are homogeneous; the only purpose being to
keep in Office; such trimming is not surprising
in their Conventions.l

MORE OF THE ExTRAvAGANCE AND Folly
OF MODERN DEMOCRACY OR OF THE WHANG
DOODLE PARTY.-The New York Custom
House cost 81, 100000; the collections at that
port for the last year amounted to more than
$40 900, 900, and more than one thousand
persons were employed in its condition.
The Custom-House in the city of Philadel-
pbia cost about 100000 and that in Boston
about Sl,00O00O. There are two other Gus
tom-Houses, one at New Orleans and the
other at Charleston, not yet finished and no
data furnished what they will cost when COM
pleted. Already more than S5,OOOOOO have
been appropriated to build these two houses.
There is where the money goes. 1t is sup
posed that the Charleston Custom House W i'll
cost $5,OOO,OOO. In 1857, it employed forty
eight persons, and the revenue collected was
but little over $5OO,0OO. Where and when
will this end? 1t is for modern Democracy
to determine.

For the Minnesotian.
THE yIISANTHROPE.

Some think this world world of mourning,
With little of JOY In pleasures crown,
But all around TO them seems going
With the march Of a funeral throng.
You may sing to them of the beauties of nature,
OF low charming valleys, and vine clad hills,
ofdowers embles ofnnocence, lit subjects Tor leisure
But nothing in all tends 10 soften lifes ills
You may tell them the comforts Of home,
Of dear smiling children and n fond doting wife,
OF fresdes ever the memory Of the wanderer vel
come,
But stillit's the same hard wearsome life.
You may tell them again Of youths pleasant days,
OF familiar Old hauntS ami of that shady nook
Where she-ther first loye-sang heart stirring lays,
And their strollng together by the bright running
brook,
And recall to their minds the first hours of boyhood
The famous old play ground and the firm sturdy oak
Under whose wide spreading shade dear comrades
have stood,
Surely joys must cluster around that halowed SPOT
Yet they awake not fe their souls they are cal
loused,
All men are but villains with fair seeming cloak,
Virtue is practiced ard God is adored
But all through false motives, says the cold msan-
thrope. ELSIE.
