mraitLUems October22td, 1858. Sljwly, and with aseasured steps, the fatal epidernic is lesoving the number of its victims, and the faces of tbp people arn beglainnig to brighten a little at the still distant prospect of release-from Its foul contagle. We look forward, on each returning'Monday with pnxiety to the Report of the City Register, and at las. are comforted with the hope thatour insidious foe accomplished his work, and Is about to spare us farther sutering and calamity. But the time is not yet, when the voice of joy and gladness in our stts ad th shout of thanksgiving is our Churches $hall proeli -the welsome tidings of its naqj departure from our eity.

We have yet another mouth, at least to run, before the only effectual destroyer of "thu hard and heavy frost, (perhaps two jr three of them) will probably come to our reaone, and meanwhile, wre must expect to be called upon to record many more sad cases of bereavement in our commimjty. The oflcial Report published on Monday shows a decrease of Ave deaths from the previous week, making the total number sinco the Commencemont 613. This is only oiar lee tAhan (tA total of 1854. when the fever continued until the last Week i November. The same causes which have 1.d to the increase of the epidealein Now Orleans, have boen operating here to some extent.

The inux (if leerage puseengers In our large Ships and Steamers has become an evil of most 4orluus magnitude, and a subjoct of goneral complaint. Steps are being taken to arrest and I trust, may be successful in time to prevent further terrilile ou'nsequeucer. The Howard Association goes on diligently in its good work, among the sick and destitute. The claims of this excellent Association upon public liberality have been so liberally appreciated that they tind it no longer necessary to appeal to the charitable for donations. At a late meeting the following Preamble and Resolutions offered by Prolesqer F.

S. hblmes, of the College of Charsteo, woro unanimouslyfadopted and publiolhed. Whereas, it is the offlie of this Association to act as almoners of the public in their contributions for the relief of the indigentiick and, whereas, the generosity and alacrity with which our calls for peounlary aid have always been uet by the public, impose upon as the duty of giving th6 earliest information when the nioneya In the treasury shall be deemed adequate for the existing emergency; therefore, Resolved, That the season being at hand when the disappearance of the prevailing epidemic may, under the blessing of Divine Providence, bo reasonably an. ticipated, the moneys in the treasury of the Associa. tion adrfeemed ample to meet every probable demand upon odir resources.

Resoleed, That the Association eutertain a most grateful sense of the benevolence and generosity of the public, as evinced in the liberal contributions they have received for the relief of the suffering and der. titute, and desire to make this public declaration of their sentiments of gratitudo. Ilecolved, That notice be given of the sufficiency of our present means to meet the existing emergency. Resolved, That in'the opinion of this Assocation it is yet unsafe for persons unacelimated to return to the city of Charleston. From the Minutes.

GEORGE q. PELZER, ecretary Howard Association. Charleston, October 19th, 1848. Mrs. M.

L. Neuffer has taken charge of the Ameri. can Hotel, formerly occupied by Mrs. Kennedy at the corner of King and George Streets. The location is well known to many of your country friends.

The new book entitled Vernon Groce, or Hearts as they are" by Mrs. Caroline 11. Glover, of this City, is winning very pretty and delicateecompliments from the Press. The authoress is a gifted daughter of the lamented Samuel Gilman, D. known here as -a poetess and writer of no ordinary merit and taste, As a teacher, she bears also an enviable reputation.

Her school, (of whieh I am pleased to see a card in your columns,) Is one of excellent standing and her laborious efforts in the instruction of young ladies both in the City and on Sullivan's Island, thor summer residenee,) are highly appreciated. "Vernon Grove" was originally published, as a serial, in the Southern Literary Messenger, and was so well received, as to Inucne its republioatien in the present form, which makes a volume of 400 Monday 18tb, was the Anniversary or our Orphan House. In consequence of the prevalenee of the epidemic the usual public exeroises were dispensed with. The number of inmates at the last Anniversary was boys and 111 girls. There are now 334 children in the InstitutIon, 2 boys, and 126 girls, being an increase of 33.

Ten have been bound out to useful trades, and seven given uf to the care of relatives. The school consists of 287 pupils, under eight Female teachers, three of whom were brought up in the Institution. The Asylum is under the stewardship of Mr. John S. Small, and Mrs.

Ann Small still occupies the position of Matron. The most gratifying feature in the history of the Institetion for the past year, is "that out of the large number of inmates, not a single deatkhAas occurred, and that too amid the raging of a fever to which all children, whether native or stranger, are alike liable. The season of fires has fairly opened, and the midnight incendiary already enters upon his foul work. On Sunday there were two fires, one within and the other beyond the City limit. Two other attempt.

were maade en Tuesday night, one of which, in Market street, resulted in the destfuction of a large Grain Warehouse and a Fruit Store. On almost overy evening of the week since, there have been alarms, mostly in the upper Strict mceures are now set on foot by the City authorities which will soon result In the detection and punishment of these villianous Incendiarier. The "Coueier' suggests the names of two distinguished scholars for the unexpired term of the Senator-ship in Congress, vacated by the death of Judge Evans. The nominees are Hion. Win.

In this age of degeneracy and'iemagogueIsm, the selection of public men from the reined and cultivated walks of learning and literature would be truly refreshing, and could at least work no injury to the intellectual and moral standing of the State in our National Councils. Either of these gentlemen would surely confer honor upon bet-, in respect to this department of qualifications. One of them, (Mr. Girayvon) has already served in Congress, adding experience to other requisite'. As a bold and able champion of our Institutions, we have never yet had his superior.

His powerful letters, essays and speeches on this subject, have become a tien of our standard literature, and constitute in themse'ves a complete vindication of the South. Dr. 8jmms' writings and their true Southern character and ingluence, are too wail known to require introduction to his fellow citizens. He occupies the proud position of the historian and biographer of the South, and has devoted a life-time of laborious study and research to the development and defence of her character and Institutions. SThe Courier" has received a specimen of a new kind of melon produced on the farm of Benjamin 0.

This fruit is called the Jfelon. The Southern CultiveAtr gives a recipe for Its preservation and preparation, which I have observed copied in the Adrert Jeer.

Once before we have said, and we say it again, that 4 the Cirriage and Buggy Manufactory of Surru Joaas, at this place, is equal in its appointments, in its arrangemnents, in its style of work, in the excellenCe of its materials, and the skill and faithfulness of its superintendant and workmen; to any similar establishment, of equal size, South or Nvrth.

There is no mistake about the suit perior advantages of both these improvements.

They have beeui tried, and have in no instance been found' a wanting. They have not only been tried by a few, but by numbers and all, without exception, testify to their high value. The judgment of experienced men is, that those improvements must eventually supersede entirely the old hub and coupling, at least for buggies and light carringes.

TEXAS. intelligent correspondent from the wilds of Texas, furnishes us with many Interesting facts which have come under his immediate observation. We I give the substance of thenm below for the benefit of our readers. It is as well to see the dark as the bright side of those Western pictures. The State of Texas on its Eastern border commenra ces at Longitude 941; its extreme Western border, El Paso, at 1117; its most Southern point runs to latitude a 28 and its most Northern to 38, 30.

Its Eastern count ties, or a considerable portion of themn, are similar to the States of Louisiana and Arkansas, which form its Easatern boundary. But Westof these is a vaatterritory differing very much from any country between 'that and Canada. The principal natural features of this region are its boundless praries and cross timbers, 'the formner covered with luxuriant grass, the latter i consisting almost entirely of post oak. These cross timbers arc confined ahuost entirely to two localities, a the chief one commnencing aboutlatitude 32, longitude 102, and running North East across Red River. This is about all the timber worth mentioning on up.lands 'iu Western Texas.

streanms are very few and generally vecry indif. a forent. Compared with the States East of her, the country is without doubt very badly watered; there not a single stream in the whole State that can be 0 depended on for navigation any distaaco into the interior, and onse nmny ride for days and not get a single drink of good water. -There is a variety of soil, of course, in so extensive ea country, but still there is inure sameness than exists any of the other States. The jands are generally rich, frequently very rich for hundreds of miles, and the landscape beautiful as it is possible to conceive.

A large portion of the State is based on soft or rotten limestone. The Northern eounties are on hard lime. 'J stone and generally healthy. It would be one of the 5 most desirable countries on earth if it enjoyed even tolerable seasons. But after passing longitude 90 you come to a very dry region and at longitude 98 it is no farming country at all.

There can be no do. pendene placed on Bummer crops. Somac of the richest up-lands in the world, in consequence, will turn off not unfrequently less than fire bushels of Corn to the acre. The same. lands have this year prodneed from 20 to 30 bushels of Wheat paer acre.

During thes present Summer, there was not a single season of rain, not one indeed from the 25th April to the 8th September. The climate cannot be said to be decidedly but it is much too variable to be considered good. Nights are always pleasant in Summer; but the days are frequently very hot, Fahrenheit often rising to 1000; on Friday the 27th of August last, it rose to 1070, andi the very next morning fell to 680. There was a brisk wind both days from the North. On Fri- la day it was like a Simoon of the Desert; on Saturday San overcoat was comfortable.

This though, perhaps, was unusual. At Camp Cooper last year, the mercury rose to 1000 the first week in June. But the greatest bane of Texas is want of water and timber, of water especially. Both rain, springs, branches, and rivers, West of longitude 99, are worthless for all purposes of the planter, unless lhe were located on a stream like the beautiful San with valley land capable of irrigation. Mr.

of Picayune celebrity, writes very differently, but the facts are at variance with his glowing accouuts. Many persons can doubtless better their condition by coming hero; but those in the elder States who 0 are doing well would make a hasardous change in doing so. The true advice to them is to stay where they are. i The Texians themselves are an inducement to come amongst them. They are tree Southerners and al- Id ways entertain strangers with the greatest kindness nm and generosity.

Yet many of them are dissatisfied. Even in Tarrant and the adjoining counties this is fe the most beautiful part of Texas. a p' The Lebanon (Thin.) Herald has heard of 1 pc so. saeso.P. nn.s or.

0 A WORD ABO OURSELVES. It Is admissable- in a' dltsal journalist, now and en to remind his readei-of the course he has on-avored to pursue ine didiharge of the responsia duties of his positbe, Yet the present conduers of the Advertiser have over studiously avoided is seeming egotihs. prefriug to incur misconstrue. an, rather than affect a dplay of antecedents of ight importance to any gauS themselves. There is at this time, a psyil of political censorious.

manifested in certain quarters of our hieh too has infected a portion of the calculated to awakeneen u.the least sensitive, and I make each one turn and examine his past purposes id policy, in self-defeni. To be more explicit, the dvertimer (along with several other papers) has been Ainted at, expressly, ubeifng engaged in an attempt i nationalize South and tie her to the heels of Party." Something like this, is the lannage in vogue among our self-sufficient censors. We emphatically the charge of these and defy them to ijoe any thing in our record eight years iuconsisteitwith the following briefly. ated points: 1. The and.aealously advocated s6 measure of secession inI851 and 1852, bekiving sat it was a constitutional proceedure and that an aetal issue then existed deossadiig its exercise.

2. Upon the 'failure of'thit movement in South arolina, we immediately took the next highest availblo position In the was thd ground of D-operation with our sister States of the South for lio preservation of 'Southern Rights in the Union, but that were found hopeless -then for their proservaon at any and every hazard. 3. In the prosecution ofthis line of policy-(which as understood to be the eotablished policy of South arolina)--tho question aine up, "shouild our State ake any part in the deliberations of the Cincinnati of 1855?" Having the fact before our yes that the State would certainly be represented to ome extent in that convention, and the further fact hat all the other Southern States would be repre. entoil there, the Advertiser promptly advocated the ropriety of sending delegates, basing its advocacy pon two chief reasons: The first of these was the ecessity of having our State represented well if at 11; and the second wisdom of the step in arrying out our avowed desire of more complete afliation with the States of the South, some of which and by resolution sought our co-operation in the matter.

4. The result of the deliberations of the Cincinnati was the election of JAxEs BUCUANAV. Vith the great bulk of Southern men, we were satised with this result, and expressed at once the hope nd expectation with which his election had re-inspio our Southern ranks. 5. His administration of the government has thus ar abundantly justified the confidence reposed in him the South and by the Democratic party; and we are accorded our hb'mblo approbation and support hin, with hundreds of thousands of other Southrn mes, 6.

In regard to the Democratic party, our position as ever been this and no other: We have advocated o-operation with that party for the advancement of outhern rights and interests under the Constitution the Union. Dut we have been as far as any one rem wishing to tie our State to its chariot-wheels. Lnd to say the truth, we do not exactly understand rhat is meant by that style of expression. 7. The doctrine of States Rights has always been he corner-stone of our political creed; and the Ad'erR iser has repeatedly argued that the more complete riumph, n'ot only of Southern Rights, hut of Stotes tlyAta also as connected therewith, was one of the trongest inducements to our going with the other iouthern States Into the Convention of the Democrats party.

Meii idea was, to increaue the States Rlights lement of that party until it should become really truly the party of the Constitution out and out, it is already by contrast with any other political 'rganization in the Union. 8. In respect to the continued existence of the tmerican Union, our paper bears at its mast-head his striking language of McDUFiE We will cling a the pillars offsegatgmnpf- our liberties, and if it its ruins." motto was placed there and kept there by better and men than we; and we have not thought proper a remove or to modify It. Understanding its tenor ad purport to be, that the Union should ho mainained as long as there was a rational hope of its subarving the great end of human liberty designed by ts founders, we have retained this motto of our predeessors as our own. But should themost gloomy pro.

of thme despondent yet be verified, and should tcome to pars that this temuplo must fall, wo are of hoe who hielieve that there will yet he an' opportuniT of. pilitical salvation left us, in the of Republic. Many are the doubts and unortainties that hang between us and such a consum-. iation. But there is rooms for faith in its attainment, rprudence and determination shall prevail In Soothrn counsels.

Still It Is a dark prospect. It is a last ire resort. And we are not of those who would urge tS wisdom, except upon a direct, palpable issue, rhich would justify us before the world and before os terity. Such has been the course, such is at present the poition of the A deertiser, and we ask those who have avilled at our politics, to show where we bare ever xpresd an opinion at variance with this brief statesent.

Ai! kow thy parents misethy step, Thy sweet and silvery toneStill they give thee up to Jesus, Their beautiful-their own. Thy brothers and thy sisters Will miss thee ever more, Though they know full well thou art not dead, But only gone before.

That God has placed a diadem Upon thy sinlws brow; Thou wer't a Juvely child on earth, Thou art an Angel now. Then wisper, Angel Laura, To the dear ones who remain, And tell thun thou art happy, That for thee to die was gain. And may they live and die liko.thee, That when this life is oer, They may meet with thee in glory, To be parted never more. EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE. DRESDEN, Sept.

1', 1858. Here I am again, my good old Adverriver! Was ever any one so faithful to you before? Whether this great devotion arises from disinterested affection, or is the result of that desire to be heard which we all have more or less, I cannot exactly ay. 'Twere better however, for the sake of an easy conscience, not to look further into tho'matter. May without appearing egotistical, tell you of a dream I had the other nighmt? Well then, I was sitting with several well beloved friends before Mr. store, and upon the cellar doors were three or four MAnsH watermelons, already laid open.I was eating out of a half one and was "in Abraham's bosom Suddenly I found myself in a land where Masn watermelons or any inferior sort, or any sort at all, were never heard of.

The beloved friends and the cellar doors were also nowhere to be seen. And an accordeon was playing in the street be. low me. To wake out of such a blissful dream and bear an aceordleon The horror of thme thing speaks for the way, have you had much fruit and many watermelons this season Here, the pears, plums and apples are little short of celestial, and one cent of'Ameriean money will buy enough to last a day. The only species of melon is an inferior cante.

lope, raised in forcing houses and alarmingly dear. As to figs and pineapples, one has to pay five dollars for merely looking at thema. Now I am going to on without the slightest rhyme or reason. A friend of mine, one well acquainted with Edlgefield, who has travelled lately inm company with Atexandre Domns, the great French novelist, informs me thmat he is thme express image of the departed Dave Frazier, and is firmly convinced that Dave was his elder brother. Dunmas, as is well known, is a mulatto anmd born in St.

Domingo or somnewhere there. Now, althoungh on intimate termas with Dave while he yet in life, and superintended time forge, still I never climbed his genealogical tree. Who can throw light on the sulbject I read that people in our Southern regions are building houses of cotton. What went we do finally? You cant imagine how shockingly slow Gerumans mre What is accenmpished in one day in America, and writh ease, demammas here five days or a week. If you ever lienr tell of German industry, dont credit it in the slightest degree.

The miserable women do whamt is donat A dumb brute in America is better than a Germaun pesant woman. And the ye or people arc poor beyond belief. P'eter Hilliard, who requested to be takhen "any where but to tihe T'oor House or the (according to Dr. would have been in Saxony a rich mann.

The damnel gomes to and fro escorted lby thet iouse or chamber maid, utler whose protectipn site is considlered as safo as if she were in the Bastile. At the Theatres and public places, the paassages anal entrances arc alwmays crowded with mmnida' witinmg for their chtarges. The amaid Is invariabaly prettiest. Young men in Germany are munch amore natural and unsophistiented than in Amecrien; thmey dont seem to think it at all necessary to suppress their thoughts or feelings upon any occasion.

Thmey weep anmd betray emotion, and say tender tiings, and brimng about scenes just thme same as the softer sex.

German cooking, especially of meats and vegetable, is abominable.

Oh the unmentionable messes and ghastly sauces Germans too lack in a high degree the virtue esteemed mnext to godliness. The whole country with its contents of every sort needs the regenerating influence of the wash tub! The prevailing style of beauty is the bull dog style-faces that look as if an elephant had-trod upon them In early youthBut Germans are exceedingly delighmtful people for all that, so warm hearted, so social, so artistic, so cultivated. Anal Germany too is a heavenly land to live in. So much pleasure one has here or can have, and such pleasure as ho does'nt reproach himself for sharing-not even when it comes on Sunday, as the moat of it does! nBefore long I must tell you of the'peculiar manner inwhich they conduct betrothals, marriages, births and deaths. I have no idea of giving you up, Adrerise-! If you are tired of me, my brave old friend, you'll only get rid of me by a telegraphic deupatch saying, 'a You are one too many." J.

T. B. Corr'oN AND CorroN correspondent of the Albany Patriot writing from Lee county, says: I have a small field of cotton, measuring thirty acres, and have gathered 1500 pounds per acere off the present crop, leaving a top crop yet to pick, better as to quality thtan any cotton I have ever seen. I have eight hands who pick three hundred pounds per day, and three bands who pick over 500 pounds each. This rork is done on the plantation of N.

Wiley, Albnyum- ARBIVAL 07 THE STRAirSIP PACIFIC. Sr. Jonxs, N. Oct. 21.

The Galway and New York steamship Pacific, Capt. Thompson, which left Galway on the 12th of October, has arrived. Liverpool Cotton Ma-kd, Oct. Telegraph to sales of Cotton in Liverpool for two days were 14,000 bales, 1,000 bales of which were taken by speculators and exporters. Spmne circulars state that the market closed steady, and others report that it closed with an advancing tendeney.

In Liverpool on the 12th, breadstuffs were quiet and unchanged, and qnotations were nominal. Pork and bacon were dull; Sugar, and lard were quiet; Tea and Coffee were firm. A' full correspondence between the Udited States Minister in Nicaragua and the foreign Minister in Nicaragua, touching Monsieur Belly's Conventions, has been published in Paris. The former says that no arrangement will be recognised or assented to, which is contrary to the rights of American citizens in Nicaragua. The other Minister replies that his government wishes only justice and its rights, and desires to preserve friendly relations with the American States, but declares that the transit treaties are of no value, because the route was not opened at the stipulated period.

Monsieur Belly appeals to the provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty for protection. Later news from China, and Jndia had been received in London, but it was comparatively unimportant. The London Newos seems hopeful that the Atlantic cable will yet prove successful, when the combined improvements of Hughes, Thompson and Henley's machines reach Trinity Bay. The Admiral of the French Gulf fleet has left Paris, with energetic instructions to protect French citizens. The King of Prussia is alarmingly ill.

SENATOR DAVIB. The Mississippian, of the 12th instant, publishes the speech of Senator Jefferson Davis before a Democratic meeting at Portland, Maine, and observes: The many friends of our distinguished Senator will read this able speech with no little satisfaction. As a rebuke of Black Republicanism, and vindication of the position occupied by the South on the slavery question, it is unanswerable. The Senator.takes high grounds upon the great issue of the day, and utters no sentiment which would not have received a cordial response from an altra-Southern meeting. "It is worthy of note, that the sentiments so boldly announced, were listened to with satIsfaction by the nudience of Northern Dermocrats to whom they were addressed.

The paper from which we have eepied the speech, states that when Col. D. was introduced to the assembly, he was greeted with a perfect storm of applause;" that "loud and long were the marks of approval that were bestowed upon his address," and that it went home to the hearts of all present." This praise is well-bestowed. One extract from the speech alluded to is as follows: We of the South, on a sectional division, are in a minority; and if legislation is to be directed by geographical tests-if the Constitution Is to be trampled in the dust, and the unbridled will of the majority in Congress is to be supreme over the States-we should have the problem which was presented to our fathers when the Colonies declined to be content with a mere representation in Fa'rliament." There are men everywhere in the South who consider Mr. Davis a traitor," for no reason that we can find, except that he has delivered speeches at the North, and his opinipus have been warmly applauded.

That is about the force of the argument. These speeches delivered here in Mobile would have provoked ap plause. For our own part, we are glad that this truehearted agd patriotic gentleman is in the North enlightening the people there and we should be more pleased if there were a dozen men so true'and stout hearted as he in the same Tribune. Roors FOR thielarge number of troops dispatched from England to India during the present year, amounting to 25,000 men, Orders have been received by the comnmandant of Chathami Garrison, for another large body of reitforem'ients to be in readiness to embhark for India. These reinforcements will increase the Queen's forces in India to nearly 180,000 men.

D)A1iru rnon Yr.ow Fvevn-Jacob Delker, a young' fronm Port Carbon, near Pottsville, Pennsylvania, who arrived in this City on on Monday night the 11th died yesterday (Tuesday) morning of Yellow Fever. To allay all unnecessary excitement, and'to prevent the circnlation of false and exagerated stories, we deem it proper to state all the facts connected with this ease, upon which the public may rely most implicitly. Mr. Delker left Phiiladelphin in the steamer Key Slule, und arrived in Charkston on Monday the 11th where he remniined till the train left, which he took and arrived in this city nt 11 o'clock Monday niight. About 10 o'clock Friday mnorning, the 1.5th lie was attacked, when a physiciain was p--nmptly called in, who imnediately recogntised the sympitoms of a'well marked and virulent ease of Yellow Fever, which termitnted fatally yesterday moring.

These are the facts just as they occurred, and they should excite no alarm or apprehension among those who desire to visit the city, as no danger isi apprehended of the spiread of the disease. The city wats never, at anty season of the year, (even mid-winter) more healthy thtan now, as the bills of mortality show, and persons frenm the country should not be deterred from visiting it by any fear of disease. Shoul any thing occur to ehanige this-opinion, the public shall be promptly advised, and warned niot to inicur atny Chronicle ULRICA WINE.Last week, we took occasiotn to visit the vineyard of our friend, Dr. Ulrich, which is situated sevetnteen miles above tis lacme. Thie Doctor has a mtost pleasant locationi, and an excellent vineyard consisting, of somte ten acres, where, becyond a is tmanufactutre.lthe best wine in the Untited States.

HeI has an experienced German, at the head of somne eighitor ten slaves, who do all the about the vineyrd, thus adding a sectional flavor to htis popular wines. Hie informs us that the demand is steady.and increasing, so much so that he could, if the wine were forthcoming, sell twenty thousand gallons per year. seems to us that this, in itself, would be an inducement to go inito the operation. We fully believe that the hills of Tallapoosa, planted with the grape, can' yield more gani to the farmer thani the rich fields of Montgomery, Greene, Marengo and other couties do to the planter of Take for instance, the example before us. Dr.

Ulrich cultivates about ten acres, the product of which is 3000 gallons sti and wines. Estimating the price of the wine at $4 per gallon (which by the by is cheap) we see the stnug sum of $12,000, less the expenses, made from nine acres of poor htill land. Can this be beat'? We leave thme answer to all. It is the intention of Dr. Ulrich to increase the number of acres in cultivation from year to year.

His farm is well fitted up for the p)urposes for which it is adapted. On it, in the side of a very large rock hill, he has blasted a cellar, which resembles a cave, that anmswers thme purpose of keeping the distilled wines cool. The wine has been estimated No. by the New York epicures, and we, after a lenigthsy and satisfactory trial of it, are willing to give endorsement to their Banner-.
