A Large Fire---DisappearnDe of the
ChOIera---'rhe Damages Effected by
the Late EIurrieane---EscstOri's Re-
ceipts---Recruits for santa Anna
Survivors Of the Evening Star Dis
asfer.
New York, Oct. IA FIRE broke out in
the ship chandiery warehouse Of j. G. Bax-
ter q Son, No. 80 West street, about ten
o'clock last night, which spread rapidly to
the adjoining buildings and large storage
store in which was large quantity of cotton
and other merchandise. The buildings adj
joining the chandlery store and storage store
were occupied by poor families, some twenty
five of whom were temporarily dislodged.
The loss and insurance could not be readily
ascertained, but the damage will probably
amount in all to 100000. Among the suf-
ferers were John Smith and Silas Crowell,
liquor dealers, and Geo. Cregan, storage.
There was not a single case of cholera re-
ported yesterday.
The late terrible hurricane was felt in the
vicinity ofthe Bahamas, with destructive
effect, the wind being more violent than
during our previous gale, wrecking many
vessels, blowing down houses, and doing i'm
mense damage. Large quantities of wrecked
materials foated ashore, and several dead
bodies drifted on the beach. Many of the
Islands had not been heared from, but it is
estimated that when the full accounts come
in, the loss of property will be great.
Ristori, for her thirteen nights in New
York and one matinee and three nights in
Brooklyn, has received for her personal
share the sum of S20,9l0, upon which the
income tax has been duly paid.
Two hundred and eighty men, includingthe
nucleas of guerrilla parties in the interest
of Santa Anna, have left within a week for
New Orleans and Havana. 1t is expected
that more will leave during the coming
week, chiefly by way of New Orleans. 1t is
not yet known what effect the fall of Mon
terey has had upon Santa Anna or his ope-
rations, but the effect of the arrival at the
Rio Grande of his party may be looked for
with interest.
The steamship Quaker City, which ar
rived this morning from Charleston, brought
Mr.. A. Mcmahon, and the engineer of the
Inflated Evening Star. Mr.. Mcmahon was
rescued with seven others, two of whom
were ladies, and taken to Charleston by the
schooner Morning Star,

The War la Candida Bad Feeling Be

RarI,arfties bv fl,e Turks

The War la Candida Bad Feeling Be
tween France and misunderstanding
Barbarities by the Turks.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Turco-Egyp-
tan army was severely defeated by the
Christians in the engagements already re-
ported in the Herald.
1t is said that Russia will withdraw her
troops from Poland and march them towards
the Danube. The agents Of the Gar are en-
gagged in raising volunteers in earnest, for
the Turkish campaign. Officers of the King
of Greece are engaged in similar duty.
France is reported to be very much irri-
tated againft Prussia, and it is said there is
every probability of a war between the two
countries at time not far distant
The Berlin journals treat the Napolean
foreign Office circular in the most calm and
easy manner, thanking the Emperor for the
exhibition of pacific and most excellent in
tentions.
The Herald has the following special for
eign intelligence:
ATHENS, Oct. 1.-THE following advices
have been received from Gambia. The
attack of the combined Turkish and Egyp-
tian troops under Mustapha Pasha had COM
pletely failed The Canadians gained a great
victory. In the province of Rhemantiss they
have been successful hitherto at all points.
The Turks continue their barbarities, and
in the Herachia it is said that they had
massacred about three hundred old men and
women and children.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct. 6.-The majority
of the Turkish ministry advocate the break
ing of Of diplomatic relations with Greece.
The Grand Vizier and Ali Pasha oppose the
step. There was apprehension of a rising
of Thesaly and Piceus. The instruction
in Media is spreading.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
IN THE SOUTH.

In view Of the results Of the late elections,
and Of the course of the n. Y. Times and
Herald, advising the prompt adoption of the
proposed constitutional amendment our
Northern friends seem to be looking more
anxiously than ever TO the possible or proba-
bic action Of the Southern States on this
subject.
There should be no room for doubt in the
premises. The people of the South cannot
think for a moment of voluntarily degrading
themselves and surrendering.. the essential
principles of freedom, by adopting that
amendment. To expect them to do 50 re-
quires stretch Of Imagination in the high
est degree romantic and forfeiture Of self
respect wholly inconsistent with their past
history. In a state of peace, at time when
they have chosen representativesto Congress
who are violently excluded therefrom, these
people will not so far violate their obliga-
lions to the Constitution, as to entertain
proposition which they had no voice III franz
ing and submitting. Whetheri it were for or
against their interests, their good faith and
patriotism would forbid the violation Of the
elementary rales expressly laid down in the
original written compact of Union. There
are but two papers in the South, which we
have seen, that have intimated possibility
Of such degradation on the part Of the
Southern people-the Charleston Is. c.
Ncrs, crochetty paper which may hold the
the reverse tomorrow, and the Savannah
(Ga.) Republicqn, a philo-Radical sheet,
which would be as violent as the Chicago
TlTbuae or the Boston Standard, il its ma
terial interests permitted. Neither of them
dare to distinctively advocate the adoption
Of the amendment as a sine qua non.
The Southern people believe that there
are alternatives worse than temporary nom
representation in the United States Con-
gress. As great an outrage as il is, and as
patent and inexcusahle infraction Of the
Constitution and Of their rights asitis, they
viii submit indefinitely TO the wrong, rather
than become parties to il, by adopting lis
measures. They protest and viii continue
10 do so, against the practical subversiOn Of
our Government, and will stay out until
doomsday If they cannot come in with their
rights and privileges unabridged, and with
out being subjected to degrading conditions
precedent. Representation in such body
as the present Congress is not the greatest
good that may attach to great and free
people.
The other States can act as they see proper,
but the South can wait, and suffer, and en-
dure still more than they have already done,
for the sake of principle and the Perpetua-
ton Of free institutions. The North may
cease to cudgel its brain as to the probable
action Of the Southern States. They viii
not adopt the constitutional amendment.

GERRIT SMITH SUING FOR ISLANDER


A year or two SINCE the Chicago Tribune
published an abusive article against GERRTT
SMITH, the wealthy and noted abolitionist
Of Western New York. Mr.. SMITH sued the
Tribute people for libel, and few days
since the case came up for hearing before
the United States Circuit Court. The Tri-
bune, the defendant in the case, says:
In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day, Judge DRUMMoND delivered an opinion
in The libel suit of GERRIT SMITH u.s. the
Chicago Tribune, on the demurrer of de-
PENDANTS counsel. The demurrer was to the
effect that charge of "feigning insanity
was not necessarily libellous,- unless coupled
with the averment that the insanity was
feigned for bad purpose, or from bad mo-
tives. The Court held, that, while such a
charge might be made technically libellons,
without such an averment, yet I" il would
hardly be worth while for the plaintiff to go
TO trial on so narrow an issue as is presented
in the declaration as it now stands" Leave
was given the plaintiff to amend his declara-
ton.
If Mr.. SMITH amends his declaration it
will now be incumbent on him to show that
JOHN BRowN's raid at Harper's Ferry was
so infamous that the mere suspicion that his
(SMITH's) money helped to send him there,
whether willingly or unwittingly, constituted
bad motive for feigning insanity"

The Mississippi Legislature met on Mon
day in extra session. The Governor in his
message says that necessities of the State
constrained him to call the Legislature to-
gether. No special emergency existed, but
a general exigency, resulting from the altered
and deranged condition Of our Federal and
domestic affairs.
He states the removal Of negro troops
from the State and the transfer of the Freed
mems Bureau to officers of the regular army
are subjects Of eongratulatiOn.
He deplores the state Of the country. He
incloses the constitutional amendment, but
presumes mere reading Of it will cause its
rejection. He recommends the admission of
negro testimony in all the courts.
He requests that provision be made for
the education Of INDECENT children of Con-
sederaie soldiers, and for the relief Of desti-
tute and disabled Confederate and State
soldiers.

THE DOCTORS or EUROPE UPON
CHOLERA.

To the exclusion Of our usual variety Of
'mat,er, and because il Is a subject Of gene
raj aud profound interest al the present
time, we give upon our first page this
morning, a cOncisely prepared abstract Of
the conclusions in regard to cholera, arrived
al by the commission Of eminent medical
men appointed by the governments Of Europe
TO investigate the nature and habitudes Of
this fell scourge ofthe human race. Neither
time. labor or means Of any kind were stint
ed in making the investigation recently con-
cluded at Constantinople, and the first scien-
tic ability in Europe was brought into
requisition. The views put forth by the
Commission are entitled to great weight
The paper entire (of which this Is
an abstract is characterized by the ex-
aclnoss Of statement Of facts, and the
avoidance Of mere speculation, which
belongs TO true science; and Purports to be
a careful digestion OF the asoeriained phe-
nomena Of the disease, and deduction Of
the general laws governing It's origin-its
epidemic character, its transmissibility, its
modes Of travel, and the conditions which
propagate and intensity il.
Considering the high character Of the
body which sends them forth, it is probable
at Least, that many Of the opinions expressed
IN this report are correct II they are 50,
even approximately, they viii tend to
bring into greater requisition than hereto
fore measures OF quarantine and hygienie
puri6caiion as preventives to epidemic visi-
iaiions Of cholera. The general prevalence
Of this disease in most Of the cities Of this
country for the past few months, renders
these questions Of practical moP-ent and
makes i one Of the highest duties Of COM
munities 10 seek all the light that can be OBJ
tanned. Doubtless The conditions which |
control the disease, and the characteristics
manifested by IL are different IN diaeron,
regions Of the earth. This report gives Us
European and Asislic observations. Would
Il not be proper to assemble consultation
OF physicians in this con,itry 10 enter upon

THF Boston Advertiser publishes a commit
nication signed Radical" The author
chose the correct cognomen, for the follow
ing extract concisely expresses the gist OF
the Radical faith; viz: That the will of the
popular majorities should override the Con-
stitution, the laws and the courts If they
will Just present this issue to fair hearing
before the American people, we shall soon
know what is to become of us. Upon its
decision hangs the fate of constitutional
government; if negatively, there is hope to
save the Republic, if afiirmatively we are
taking our place in the list Of failures in the
experiment of popular selfgovernment.
Says the honest Radical:
"To my mind the sovereign and uictorious
majority Of The people Of these United States
are superior TO the courts they hare created to
Serve tie ordinary administration Of justice. /
can therefore see no dignity nor sense in
having JEFF. DAVIS tried BY court, when
the people themselves, in four years ses-
sion Of overwhelming majesty, have already
tried him and unanimously found him guilty.
Inthe very act Of resisting,by force and arms
they judged him traitor, deserving death.
To try him now in peace court is 10 admit
a doubt Of their own rectitude in the war

spect appears to me TO admit is tChGt shall be
done nth DE traitor s forfeited lief Shall it
be cut of ignominiously, or be allowed to
reach its natural term in Acknowledgement
