Its New York correspondent is aleo greatly pleased with the action of the ‘‘straight Whigs’’ of Boston in resolving staunchly against fasion, and send- ing such ggutiemen as Rt. C. Winthrop and Rufus Choate to represent them in the ap- prosehing Whig Convention at Worcester, who are known to be firmly opposed to joining hands with Mr. Seward’s new anti-slavery party. Tho Intelligencer says, further : Captain John 8. Nicholas. who had com- mand of the United States steamer Michigan on the Lakes, has been retired on furlough poy. Heis exceedingly pornular on the Lakes, and his case seems to excite much feeling.

The Bouth.—The New York city press seem to be astonished st the business being done Just now by the oocan steamers plying be- tween that city and the different southern At- lantic and Gulf porte—at the quantity of pro- duce and number of passengersthey are trans- porting. The receiptof wheat in any large quantities from ports south of Alexandria and Richmond seems to them a new commercial wrinkle, and one full of interest. They are rubbing their eyes over their Increase receipts of that grain from Tennessee and Georgia via Charleston, and’seem already to look forward to see the two States we name above be- come in a very few years the great wheat- producing region in the country. This state of wonderment et the natural and very plain reault of the recent construction of the rail- roads to points tapping the heart of northern Georgia and Middle Tennessee, arises wholly from the fact that the conductors of the jour- nals above referred to have adopted their ideas of the industrial capabilities of the southern people and climate, from the foolish ranting of anti-slavery lecturers, editors, sta- ticians, and politicians. The Railroads have at once produced resulte that are fast opening: their eyes to the truth That the people of the South do not labor £0 intensely as those of the North, arises for the most part from the fact that a given amount of labor at the South yields much richer returns in mouey and ‘‘kind,’’ than at the North. Thue, tha nanaasity for aanctent lahore ts not always before the eyes cf the southern man, as before those of him at the North. The southern man, too, (as a class,) parts with the fruits of his labor much more lightly than the northern man does; as, the world over, that which is easily acquired is lightly valued, comparatively. These are facts which bear upon the comparative industry and thrift of the people of the two sections upon which the anti-slaveryites arc constantly harping, taking due care to keep in the back ground not only the simple facta to which we refer, but anoth- er very important fact in the same connec- tion, viz: that though the North are the more industrious and thrifty, such a thing as suffer- ing from want—absolute want—is almost en- tirely unknown in all the slaveholding States; while nearly every white man in them is an independent citizen in fact, as well as in name ; such a thing as a capitalist or proprie- tor attempting to influence the votes of a num ber of his equals under the law, being a thing absolutely unheard of atthe South. But we have no room for speculations upon the effect of the institutions of the two sections upon the actual condition of their respective inhabitants. The flood of agricultural products from re- gions of the South, which have not heretofore sent them to the great markets, is but com- mencing. In eighteen months or so, the Vir- ginia and Tennessee railroad eonnections be- tween the Potomac at Alexandria, and Mem- phis, will be completed; when the south-west- ern region of Virginia and Eastern Tennessee will at once commence growing grain exten- sively for exportation, for which no other quarters of the country are better euited, and in which they have not engaged, up to this time, on account of want of facilities for get- ting produce to market. So, also, will all Western North Carolina, and a large portion of Northern Alabama, be not long hence very extensive growers of grain for exportation, as they, too, will shortly enjoy railroad facilities. The effect of railroads upon the industrial con- dition of Georgia is already realized by all who study such subjects, having astounded those in New York, especially, who deal in produce. It is but a type of what such im- provements sre destined to do for the whole interior of the Southern States. One import- ant result will be the prompt transfer of avery heavy amount of capital from the North to the South, because its employment there in agri- culture, and other pursuits dependenton agri- culture progress, will yield almost double the profit, with at least as little risk, as at the North, where competition has already greatly reduced profits in every business whatever. Mr. Clay’s ‘American system’’ changed the relative commercial and industrial conditicn of the two sections of the confederacy wen ler- fully, and railroads are fast restoring the equilibrium thus disturbed. The Rich Developement.—The testimony Capt. Strobul in the trial of Hertz, at Phila- delphis, for alleged violation of the neutrality laws of the United Siates, contirm:s to be ex- ceedingly rich in details of the plans and measures of the British Goverument to raise troops in the United States for service in the Crimes. Capt. S., it eppears, was the chief ageut and cflicer so engaged in person, on our Canadian frontier, having the supervision of all their recruiting stations in our frontier (lake) towns and cities. As &@ consequence, he was fully informed of every thing talked over, undertaken or accomplished in the mat- ter. According to his testimony which is far too voluminous for us to publish, Mr. Cramp- ton in person decided upon everything under- taken, travelling hither and thither to sce that his orders were duly carried out. His trip to the Provinces some time since which wae, in thiscity, laid to the account of busi- ness in connection with the labors of the joint commission. under the Fishing Grounds treaty, turns out to have had reference for the most part to this recruiting enterprise. But from beginning to end, if the testimony of Captain Strobul is to be believed, (and there has not been the slightest evidence brought forward to impeach it,) Mr. Crampton was the projector, the superintendent, and the active worker in every thing done by way of getting troops for Victoria’s service in the Crimea. The similar labors of citizen Genet, in the early days of our republic, were but a circumstance in comparison to those of Mr. C, on this occasion ; which we find to-day, havo generated among public men bere the very general belief that the next steamer will carry out letters to Mr Bashanan, directing him to demand of the British Government the prompt recall of Mr. C., with the understanding that that course was adopted to avoid the necessity for @ resort to the only other alternative—that of sending him out of the country without awaiting his recall by those under whose in- structions he undertook to set at defiance the laws of the United States, But we shall not be surprised to learn from the annual message that Mr. Buchanan was instructed some tinie sinee to bring the matter to the notice of her Mojesty’s Government immediately after it was first ascertained what the United States would be able to prove in the Philadelphia trial now in progress. Yesterday.—The churoh-going portion of our population yesterday duly attended di- vine worship, some of them of ocouree fasting and praying in accordanse with the Tecommen- dation of the corporate authorities. The res- taurants and drinking houses reaped a rich harvest—thoge who frequent them ordinarily, going there, of course, on this occasion, as lit- tle business or work was being done—the pro- prietors of such establishments being gener- ally among those who did business on the day: Perhaps twice aa many men and boys went shooting and fishing around Washington, yes- terday, asever before—the day being remark- ably fine and the sporting season most inviting. The Long Bridge was never before, in our time, so thronged with anglers; and we counted some forty gunners between its Vir- ginia shore terminus and Roach’s Spring. who were momentarily banging and popping away to the imminent danger ,of horses, vehicles, and passengers. We were an-attertive obser- ver of many of the proceedings of yesterday, and reluctantly confess that we were impressed with the belief that it would take so much of ‘the fasting and praying which marked the oo- casion, to wipe out the new score against our city for its dissipation and neglect properly to improve the day; thet precious little—more especially of the fasting—would be left to be credited to account of the sufferers of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Henry May.—As a controversy ccoms to have arisen as to the date of this gentleman's first identification with the Democratic party, it may not be amiss for us to state that we know, of our own knowledge, that in the can- vase of 1844, he was an ardent symphthizer with the cause of ‘‘ Polk, Dallas, and Texas.” Though taking little part in politics at that time, his political sentiments were well known to many of his personal friends in Washingtor , sud to none more thoroughly than to the edi- tor of the Star. Removed, Promoted, and Appointed. —Mr. R. Hi. Bigger, of Indiana, has been promoted to a second class clerkship in the cffice of the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury, vice T. Hume, Esq., removed. Arthur J. West, Esq., has deen appointed to the first class clerkship in the same office made vacant by Mr. Big- ger’s promotion. A Marine Hospital Surgeon Appointed.— W. J. Moore, M.

All the principal hotels are decorated with flags and banners. And flags and bauzers are suspended across the streets at various points. At 12 o'clock, to-day, the concourse assem- bled at the raitroad depot to receive and wel- come the President of the United States. He was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers, whilst a national salute of thirty guns was fired by the military. He was accompanied from Baltimore by ex-Mayor Hollins, toe. Josbua Vansant, Hon. John P. Kennedy, Robert M. Magraw, and Zenos Barnum, 2348., and a large delegation of Baltimoreans. After being welcomed by the authorities, to which he briefly responded, he was conducted to his rooms at Behler’s Hotel, and after din- ner, aecompanied by the Governor of the State and a commilttce of the Agricultural Society, visited the fair (Pear where he was also heartily welcomed by the spectators. Tho display of cattle, horses, chigkens, ag- ricultural implements, produce and houseboid productions, is very fine, and the grounds are admirably arranged. The weather has been very favorable up to the closing this evening. AtrempteD Svicipgs.—Sunday evening, 8 girl of loose habits, going by the name of ANNA, residing in the house No. 75, Grand street, cttempted to commit suicide by drink- ing laudavum. Sho had of late led a dis- gracefully loose life; so much so that she be- came tired of existence, and, as she says, ‘* The perusal of the remarks of the press on the late suicide in Duane strect led to the de- tormination on her part to be made a heroine.” She purchased four ounces of the poison and drank it all; but shortly after regretting her rash act, she informed the servant of it, when medical aid was pecans and the contents of ber stomach discharged by the free use of lamp oil and tartar emetic. She is now in a fair way for recovery, and heartily sorry for her foolishness. Ellen McCarty jumped overboard at the foot of Jackson street, and would have been drowned but for the timely assistance ofa Mr. Robert Walker, who, jamping in after saved her.—N. Y. Times. Kxow Noraixe Nowixatioss.—The Know Nothing State Convention of New York, re- cently held at Auburn, in that State, has nominated the following ticket : For Hopaborst of State—Joel T. Headley. For Comptroller—Lorengo Burrows, of Or- leans. For Attorney of Tompkins. For Canal Commissioner—S. 5. Whelan. For Treasurer—Stephen C. Clark, of Albany. Vor Engineer and Surveyor—Col.

The nominations were all made unanimous, and the Convention adjourned. Genoral—Stephen B. Cushing, SOR AA aah Farar Rescur ova QuarreL.—J_H. Land- wire, a German, died on Tuesday night in the New York Hospital, from injuries he received during a fight with one Theodore Dablish, in the porter house of F Stassal, 52 Greenwich street, on the night of the 6th instant. Tho parties, it appears, were drinking and carous- ing ater when at length a difficulty arose etween them respecting the payment of a bot- tle of wine, which, it is alleged Dubin came for, but afterwards refused to settle for thesame. The war waxed warm between them, and at length and finally, Dablish, as is said, shot Landwire in the thigh with 8 pistol or mus- ket, heavily loaded with powder and ball. Landwire was conveyed to the New York Hos. are where he died of hig injuries as stated. biish was arrested at the time by Officer Stack, of the First Ward, and is Tombs. The coroner will hold an the body.—New Yurk Express.

He has dono’ most efficient service. He regards the fever as finally checked and predicts its early disappearance. A letter from Norfolk, on Tuesday, says: “ [have the great happiness to inform that the fever eit last abated in its vohined The weather is quite cool, and we are h 3 for an early frost, and the return of health to our efflicted city. The number of deaths for the last twenty-four hours has considerably diminished. t citizens are cheered by the prospect of enjoying once more the privi! of meeting sgein with friends, relatives, ac- quaintances, who are scattered abroad; but many hundreds who were separated a few weeks sy alps never meet again in this world. of our most valuablo citizens have recently died, and Norfolk is still en- shrouded, as it were, ina thick, dark pall of sorrow.’? The disease is lurking about the surourbs of Norfolk and Portsmouth, entering the habi- tations of the poor and the destitute, and striking down the etrong as well as the weak. [ndiscriminate in its attecks, however, the rich as well ag the poor and the lowly are at- tacked, are speedily crushed by its irresisti- bie power, and are as soon the tenants of the veyard, as the least regarded mendicant tis a mysterious, terrible agent of destruc- tion—a scourge, a fearful plague, that appals the people, and eauses the hardest hearts to feel; the most powerful to tremble. Mr. J. M. Jacobs, of Richmond, reports 217 burials in Norfotk last weck. Oa Sunday there were thirty cases in the ital and three deaths. There were eleven burials in Norfolk on Monday. He estimates the popu- lation there at 4,000 perzons. PORTSMOUTH. Oa Tacsday, in Portsmouth, there were two new cases, and four deathe, The weather is moet delightful, and hes renewed hopes, so often blighted before, that the ‘ beginning of the end’’ of this dreadful calamity is ap- proaching. The following are among the dead : Henry Parsons, Edward Morris, Chas. Har- vey, child of George Barry, Samuel Richard son, Josiah Thomas, Thomas Peni mn, Mrs. Mary Stevens, David Overby, Mrs. John Wes- ley, John Godfrey Daniel Culpeper, son of m. Diggs, Benj. Newton. The James Brownley reported dead is sup- posed to be James W. Brownley, the latter having been sick with the fever for some days. James Totterdell’s family has been complete- ly swept off by the scourge—the last of tle family of fifteen (two sons) having died within the past few days. Philip @. Thomas died on Saturday in Mat- thews county. After the death of his wife and one child in Portsmouth, he proceeded to Mat- thews with his two remaining children. A correspondent mentions his arrival there; where he was seen in a boat, with a child upon each arm, and with the agony of despair depicted in hie countenance—not knowing where to seek for shelter. Dr. Jos. N. Schoolfield writes from Ports- mouth that there is a marked decrease in the number of deaths and new cases in that town. On the 22d there were 8 deaths; on the 23d, 9; and on the 24th, ag far ashe could aacertain, 10. The weathor is quite cool, and should it continue £0, without rain, his hope is strong that an amendment of a permanent character will take place. A letter from Portsmouth, on the 25th, says: I am happy to inform you that the fever is somewhat abating, though I am inclined to think that it is to be ated rather to the scarcity of material to act upon than to any improvement in the general health of this lo- cality. Most of the inhabitants who remained at home have been sick, and a number of them have suffered the second and third at- tack, consequently the number of new cases must necessarily be on the decrease. Among existing cases, the mortality for several days has been greater than formerly. Dr. Walter, of Baltimore, who had served faithfully the entire campaign, was buried yesterday in the Roman Catholic burying ground, in the lot assigned to the volunteer physicians in Portemouth. The physicians have held a meeting, and ae suitable resolutions upon the death of r. Walter. Dr. William 8. Hungerford, of Baltimore, has entered the volunteer lists here, and is doing good service. . Old Mr. Jones, the blacksmith, and you Wm. Vernelson, are very ill. H.Stoakes an Paul Luke has recovered. There were one hundred and fifteen deaths in Portsmouth last week. There were admitted to the Naval Hospital from August 28 to September 14, about 115 patients. Deaths up to the 24th iust., 90. A letter from Portemouth says : ‘: It is thought by many that two weeks fron this date no traces of the disease (except the hundreds of now made mounds in our grave yards) will be secn. ‘« We have indications that the hand of death has been vo be to a considerable extent in our sorrow stricken town. It may, perhaps, be more owing to the want of material <a to any decline in the malignity of the disease. Few, vory few indeed, are left who have en- tirely escaped, and whole families are now silent tenants of the grave, that a few brief months ago wero joyous and happy, and bid fair to live many years.’’ Mr. Fiske intends to issue an edition of the Transcript on the last of the month. He has but one compositor, his son Charley; with him alone he makes up the sheet. * Cost op FLovz.—The Boston Traveler states that, some weeks since, a gentleman of Boeton was traveling in the West, and, while at Chi- cago, purchased half a dozen barrels of flour for his own use, at $5.87¢ a bbl. He sent it to Boston, and the extreme oost, delivered at his house there, was $7.75 a bbl. At the time the same brand of flour was selling there at Sourteen dollars a barrel, or for nearly double what the gentleman’s cost him.
