I have recently made a circuit through the South- ern States in search of a healthy and pleasant resi- dence. We reached Charleston early in October. The city looks antiquated as you approach it from the wharf, but King street and the promenade streets of the city present an array of taste and beauty quite refreshing to the eye of the stranger from the north. Flowers in every variety and profusion peep from the lattices and adorn the walks and windows where- ever you go. Some of the private residences have an air eft easy comfort quite like home. The city government is managed with great efficiency, and probably’no city in the Union is more thoroughly guarded by night, as well as by day. One fact, mo- rally speaking, reflects everlasting credit on South Carolina, and so far as it may be true, the whole South. Crimes of a darker dye are seldom perpe- | trated in South Carolina. Murder, arson, highway robbery, are almost unkown there. The judges of the higher courts—and no State can boast better men or more faithful and efficient jurists—will assure you that their court dockets are seldom steined with those bloody and barbarous details s common in other parts of our country. Thave not time to say more of South Carolina, but I love her hospitable, high-minded sons and daughters,and | in weal and woe 1 say God bleas her. On board the William Seabrook, the noblest of south- ern boats, with its excellent captain, sitting down to uv table literally loaded with every luxury of every mar- ket, dove up in first rate style, winding along the green and sunny islands that dot the ‘coast like gems in the sil- ver waters, we reached Savannah, the city of Ogle thorpe. Stopped atthe Pulaski House, kept by Captain- Wiltberge:, who, with his good lady, give prima facie evidence of good chi More of Savannah anon. Southward we w in the mail boat via Brunswick, Darien, St. Mary’s, Jacksonville, Fla., and stage, to St. Augustine, the oldest settlement. The old Spanish city its dismantled fort,narrow streets,across which you ma: almost look from window to window, and varied popul tion, Americans, Spaniards, Minoscans—soldiers of the United States stationed here, seemed strange in our northern eyes. Ithas been gay, but since the destruc- tion of the orange trees, once a'source of large income to the inhabitants, by that troublesome insect the “coc- cus,” and the alof a large Portion of the United States troops stationed there, together with their popu- lar and eflicient com: was the ubod of hospitality, 1am told times seem dull. On going out in the morning upon the sea wall, the east wind struck us allaback. It comes home to one’s very heart, and seems laden with sn unwonted ch ll. St. Au- gustine has lost some of its former reputation for health, and is leas resorted to by invalids from the north than formerly. They choose situations further from the sea- board, where the aarap sea air loses by its passage over wood and land much of its chill and humidity. The pro gress of territorial occupation throws open new and healthier places in all parts of the country. Jackson- ville has a better air than St. Augustiue, but the place 18 sandy. Without exercise, or a place where the invalid may wa'k or ride with comfort, much of the benefit of a mild climate seems lost. Many Northerners, in delicate health, feeling the insi- dious approach of disease, would go South, if they knew where to go. Alllooke strange to them. Shall { not do | a favor ta such, by Pointing out place to them, of all | others in the Uni'ed States, the most aesirable for a per- son in delicate health, with or without a family—I mean St. Marys’, Georgia. I have heard but one opinion, and that itis a healthy place. It has good air, good water, pleasant streets, wide and grassy wolks for miles about the town, and excellent board, at reasonable terms.— Orange Hall, tormerly a private residence, is delightful- ly situated at the upper end of the city, and has accom- modations that cannot fail to suit a stranger. This board- ing house is keptaby Mr. and 2 avis, It stands on the highest poi in the city, and is embosomed in a large greve of orange trees, now in bearing. The city of St. Mary’s is situated on St. Mary’s river, about nine miles from the ocean; has some 800) inhabitants, who all think it one of the healthiest spots on earth. There are no rice fields or local causes of disease. Oranges are raised there, sometimes in great abundance, and are also brought from the neighboring islands. ‘There is a very extensive orange grove at “Dungenness,” the late resi- dence of the widow of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, the Wash- ington of the South. It isa place well worth visiting, and deserves a more minute description than I have time to give it now. The gardens have oranges, lemons, ci'- rons, peaches, nectarines, pomegranates, figs, the white and blue, and grapes inevery variety and abundance. Game is plenty, and we often hear the hunter’s horn in the morning, and see the dead deer in the afternoon.— Smail birds, partriges, alias the northern qu ipe, &e are found—and a New Yorker there, who is a first rate shot, seldom goes out with his dog in vain. The market is good, and the boats, North and South, every few days, | i ama can afford. done in lumber. Vessels from New York to Savannah, excellent packets, rum every three or four days. Terriste Suipwreck anp Loss or Lire.—The shipwreck of the ill-fated French barque Emilie, on our coast, has awakened in the public mind the most in tense comm ion and pity, and the awful deaths con- sequent upon it, the most soul-harrowing feclings and emotions. A naval friend, who visited th ie of div aster, has kindly supplied the lack, and furnished us with the following particul The barque Emilie, of Bordegax, Captam Sauve went ashore on Tuesday night Mist during a gale from the no:theast, and the wea- ther being so thick and foggy she was not seen from th shore until the following day.

The following is the ac- count of this melancholy disaster, as I obtained it from ptain and crew, which is confirmed by the Com- ioners of Wrecks, who were on the spot. On Tues- day, the captain was unable to obtain an observation at meridian for his latitude, but by dead reckoning he sup posed himself suthciently far north to stand in for the land, and made Cape Henry. He sounded several times during the afternoon, and jelt confident of bis position, and stood on, hoping to see the light or get a pilot. At 8P.M., not seeing the land, he determined to “ wear ship,” and stand off shore ; and while in the uct of sound- ing, the vessel struc, and so violently as to tear off the rudder, sternpost, and part of the stern frame ; she im- mediately sunk in two anda half fathoms water, the sea making @ complete breach over her from stemto stern The launch was immediately got out, but was stove and sunk alongside. As the deck was under water and every sea washing over them, the captain and crew took refuge in the tops, and remained all night in this horrid situa- tion, expecting every moment to be washed overboard with the masts—they were all wet, and with no shelter from the wind and cold. The next’ day, (Wednesday,) the weather was still so thick that they could not see the land, nor could they be seen from th in the afternoon, although the vessel is s ‘The ctewwith much difiiculty: the fore and fore-topsail yards, and constructed a raft for the purpose of reaching the shore.

He sent out by canal, furniture, provisions, and numerous bachelor comiorts, ant wrote a long letter to his sister, deseribing his return, his health, his anxiety | to see h xpected happiness on meeting and giving | directions carriage and other arrangements. He told her that Mra. Dix, who had often hi him men- [son eer nt her warmest regard and promised | to come with her husband from their summer residence, Brookfield, and make a visit to them. Ho then alluded | to his will, which he said was not to his mind ; that he should alter it as soon as he got out to Chenango, and do better by her, as w it in other respects ‘Then, for fear he might not live to alter it, he concluded to provide for her at once, and he drew on the top of the | third page of his letter a draft, in the usual form, on his partners, the Clarks, payable to Ler order, of thirty thousand dollars. He tells her how to invest it, to take advice of Enos 8. Halbert, Alva Babcock, Abijah Gilbert, Noah Ely and Horace O. Moss, in managing it; to live well and procure every thing that would make her comfortable and happy. This lettercame to the South New Berlin Post Office in th wence of General Harris, and Mr. Babcock, the Post Mi took it to her. She was near sighted and sick at the time, and she read it imperfectly, laying it aside until her husband’s return. In three days Harris came home and at the very moment of his return, received another letter from New York, saying that Sidney was fast failing and desired their immediate presence. They did start immediately, she forgetting in her alarm the formerletter. Sidney lin- gered a few days after their arrival and died, and they Drought back his body to be buried with his fathers.— On examination of the will, it was the opinion of Gen. Dix, Benjamin F, Butler and Judge Denio, Harris’ Coun sel, that it was void as to the disposition of the greatest part of the property, owing to its running through too many lives, &c. ‘They filed a bill in Chancery to eet | itaside.

A day or two betore the last election, Harris received a letter from Gen.

An explanation by his wife showed how und where itcame. Several copies of the letter were made, and in the presence of Gen.
