TBtE WORTH CAROLINIAN
Liverpool Cotton Market, August 25.
Both ."peculators and trade have purchased
extensively of cotton this week, and though no
decided advance is que ted on Americau an
Dniendtnent of l-8d per lb. has, in some in
efnnres, been obtained. -
Sept. 1. Ou Satuiday and Monday last, a
fair amount of business done, sales averaging
uhout 6000 bale each day, but the reports of
injury dune to the new crop by wet, which
were' received on Tuesday morning, by the
Acilia, gave an unexpected impetus to the
demand, and altogether changed the aspect
of our market. The speculative purchases
hae been on a most extensive seal's ; the
trade have also bought more freely, and though
prices of American have advanced 1-8 to l-4d
tcr lb., some parties have withdrawn their
!.to ks in anticipation of a further improvement.

PORT LEON, Florida, Sep. 15. J
TR CM ENDOUS STORM Horrible
loss of life und property Destruction .f Port
Leon, St. Marks, and the Light H-use.
Our city is in ruins ! We have been visited
by one of the most horrible olornis that ever
before devolved upon us to chronicle. On
Wednesday about ll o'clock, a. rn., the wind
commenced blowing fresn from thesouih east,
tiringing up a high tide, but nothing alarming;
nt 5 o. n. the wiud lolled aud the tide fell, the
wenthcr continued lowery. At ll nt
night ibe wind freshed, and the tide commenc
ed flowing, and by 12 o'clock it blew a per
fect h inicane, end the whole town inundat
ed. The tTitle continued with unabated vio
lence until 2 o'clock, the water making a per
fect breach ten feet deep over our town. The
wind suddenly lulled for a few minutes aud
lhirii came from the south west with redoubled
violence and blew till daylight. Every ware
house in the town was laid flat w ith the ground,
except one, Messrs Hamlin & Sncll's, aud a
part f that also fell. Nearly every dwelling
was thrown from its foundation, and many ot
them crushed to atoms. The loss of property
is immense. Every inhabitant participating
in the loss more or less. TVone have escap
ed, many with only the clothes they stand in.
Si. Marks suffered in the like proportion with
ourselves. But our losses are nothing in
comparison with that at the Light House.
Every building but the Light House gone.
And dreadful to relate, FOURTEEN Ll VES
LOST, and among them .some of our rn st
valued citizens. Wh cannot attempt to es
timate lt) lo.-i.s of each individual at this lime,
but shall reserve it until our feelings will bet
ter enable us to investigate- tt. We give be
low a tut of those drowned, so (ar as heard
friKTi :
At Port Leon A crazy negro boy belong
ing to Tallahassee.
At the Light House. Capt. M. C Robert
son, hi- wife and three children, and a child
of IJr i'ride well.
i.fi Joseph Wood, a portrait painter from
Taiiaba--sce.
A child of R. V. Rufiius, and five negroes.
1 n jsc saved are Capt. Uuugeri'ord, his
wiffi ;u!il two children, Di Tradewcil's
y.-.;nige.-;t child, Messrs Oglesby, Blctheu and
Kennedy, fil'.ts aud live negroes.
Our citizens ate now out, looking fir any
tli. it may have escaped, and iiiiugiiig the
bodies of those th.tt may ie found. Such a
T-':i! le.-tiucti.oi ot ptooetly never has occuii
ed in our place.
Our loss is estimated at 8250,000.
I ii addition to the above, wh have learned
that the family of Mr Edward Walker, 'iving
mi Shell Point, wife, children, anil five or six
neg'ors all perished. Mr Walker himselfes-
caped by climbing to the blanches of a tree
till the waters subsided.
It is also stated that there are several other
persons living at tin's Point, who have not
been heard from, and of whose safety great
doubts are entertained.
There are also sevcial funilifs from thi
county, in summer quaitr rs on Jumps Island,
on whose account much anxiety is felt. In
deed si-ch was the violence of the winds and
the height to which the tide rose, that our im
agination ca.i scarcely fix limits to its rav
ings. Cedar Keys, Apaiachir ola, and St. Joseph
cau scarcely have escaped without damage.
Freshet in the Roanoke. The Nidi
fix Republican of the 2ulh inst. slates that the
Roanoke oouimeuced rising on the preceding
Saturday, and from thai time to Sunday even

ineticed falling. The crops were not inale
ri lily iajmed, and the Editor thinks, if ihere
i-houM not he another freshet this year, ihere
will be Ho iiiiimdant crop from the lrms ou

New Thkoxt respecting HomeA..
The Rev. John Williams, Archdeacon of
Cardigan, has recently published a, treatise, in
which he attempts to prow thai the Iliad and
Odyssey, which have always been attributed
to Homer, of have at least borne his name,
are really translations of Jewish woiks, proba-
oiy wriuen Dy .noses ; tnat tney emooay in
symbolical or metaphorical language all the
truths and doctrines of the Old Testament
with many of those contained iu the New.
The work is perfectly serious ; its author is
evidently sincere. On his hypothesis'; Aga
niennou is only a representation of Joshua ;
Helen represents Rabab ; Nestor, Abraham,
aud Penelope, Sarah. The allusions made
to Alcinous, the royal gardeuer, are to be un
derstood of Adam. Priam is an impeniteut
king, abandoned by Cod, and never sancti
fied by grace. The goddess Ato is Satan,
who visits Agameunon and compels him to
submit to a solemn expiation. Achilles, on
the other baud, is one of the elect. Although
he has sinned, grace descends upon hi:n, he
will be regenerated, will begin a new life,
aud eventually be saved.
These are but specimens of the results of
the reasoning of the work. As we have said,
it is not the production of a skeptic, nor in
tended for a joke iu any way. The author
is a sincere member of the established church.
He must not be coufounded with Dr. Isaac
Williams, "the poet of Puseyisni."'
His theory is not entirely unprecedented.
Joshua Barnes suggested the identity of Ho
mer and Solomon. His argument was this,
Homeros, if rtad backwards, in the oriental
custom, becomes, Son mo- R gives place
to L by metalepsis, wheuce Solemo, whence
Soloino or Solomon. In 1655 an Italian
named Jacobo Ugone published a treatise
which proved that the siege of Troy was only
a symbolical prophecy of the capture of Jeru
salem. Although we have not lull confidence
iu Dr. William's argument, we do not doubt
that it is quite as stiong as these of Ugone
aud Barnes. Boston JJ. side.
A Curiosity. Capt. Joseph O. Jeukins

ington President, 1791." On the reverse,
the American Eagle, eight stars aud the
words "one cent." An anecdote is connect
ed w ith the emission of this coin, which por
trays in living colors the high disinterested
ness of Washington, and the pain he ai.vays
experienced when his name was placed con
spicuously before the public. When a speci
men of the coinage was brought to him aud
he petceived hi own features stamped upon
it, he immediately ordered the mill lo be de
stroyed, aud the few pieces already struck to
be suppressed fiom ciu illation. The face
of 'Liberty'' was substituted, which is still
the device on all Americau coius. Hadso'i

INFLUENCE OF THE PARENTS ON
Til E SEX OF THE OFFSPRING.
The Amei ieau Agi iculluralist copies the
following curious observation on this subject
tioui a British Journal :
" I be influence excited bv the relative
of the pareuis in delei mining the sex of the
uli'spi ing, 1 thiuk I shall show to be consider
aule, all other things, as heahh aud condition,
nalute of food, &.c, being equal.
ll the unle is younger than die female, oi if
they are u! the same age, the off-pring will
proliatily be female.
if the male is but very little older, a few
months or a few years, according to the lon
gevity of the kind of auimal, the sex will be
doubttul, and probably depend on their icla
tive strength and he aim m the time of impreg
nation. And lastly, if the mate be considerably
older than the female, while yet his animal
powers are undiminished iu vigor, the greater
the difference, the mote likely will it be that
the offspring shall be male.
'1 he following table is illustrative of the re
lative influence of ihe parepftfoii the sex of
the off-pring. This table is drawn upfront
the records of the British peetage, where, of
course, eveiy paiticuiar of marriages or births
has been (oi ages recorded."
Wheie the husbauds weie vounger than the
wives, to 1U0 girls were bom 8b" boys.
Where the husbands weie of the same
age as the wives, to 1 0U girls were born 94
boys.
Where the husbauds were older from 1 to
6 years, to 1L0 girls were born 103 boys.
W here the husbauds were older from 6 to
ll years, to 1U0 girls were born 126 boys.
Wheie the husbauds were older from ll to
16 years, lo 1U(J ghls were born 147 boys.
It wili at once tie seeu that the influence
showu by this table is loo striking to be the
result of chance. It is drawn up from the
ages alone, without taking inlo consideration
any secondary causes, aud yet notwithstand
ing this, the probability is showu to be nearly
as high as three to tso'iti the extreme. Now
should the analogy hold good between man
and domestic animals, (aud Ihere is every rea
son to believe it does, in a greaf- measure,
with such as produce rarely one' or more at a
birth,) I thiuk it will begrauted me, that this
influence is sufficiently gieat to demand
our attention. This, however, is the point at
issue, which I hope your leaders will aid iu
solving.
That the relative condition of the heal h
and strength of the parent animals at the time
of impregnation, should have some considera
ble influence in determining the sex of the
offspring, where the age is equal, it is easy to
conceive, but very difficult to prove. I have
no facts to offer on this bead, but the very
marked manner iu which the offspring in
other respects sometimes lakes after one pa
rent, sometimes after the other, successively,
is strong presumptive evidence that such would
be the case with reference to the sex.
. COLORED POPULATION, &c.
It is a remarkable fact, thp.t where slavery
has been longest extinguished, the condition
of ihe colored race is wors?. In Massachu
setts aud Maine it has been extinguished
more than half a century. In New Hamp
shire and Vermont there have not been more
lhau eight slaves at any time withiu the last
forty years; and throughout this region the
amount of insane in the colored class is 1 in
S4.
The free colored population of the slive
States is iu a better condition than that class
in the free States. If thero were as many in
saue iu the 49,872 free colored in Virginia,
iu propoition to u umber, us there are in the
17,342, of Ohio, there would be 475, which
are 81 more than there are iu the whole col
ored population, slave and fiee, amounting to
948,857. If there were as many insane a
moug the tree colored in Marylaud as there
are iu the same class in Ohio, in proportion
to number, there would be;590. But there
ate actually only 141 iu the whole State, of
slaves and free, amounting to 151,815.
We select Ohio as au object of compari
son, because it gives ihe utmost advantage to
the other side of the questiou ,- the condition
of the free colored, tried by ibis rule, seeming
far better there than iu Indiana and Illinois.
If, then, emancipation was extended at once
to the whole negro race of the slave States,
we might form some idea of the extent of in
sauily that would iusue. But the amount of
felonies should also be taken into cousidera- J
tion. We could not expect a better state of
things than exist in Pennsylvania, where
every effort has been made to improve their
condition. The following is a statement
from the Presbyterian Advocate, published in
Pittsburg. 'There are 25,549 negroes iu the
city aud county of Philadelphia. A house o
refuge for colored uiidien is proposed. There
are 5J,C'0U negroes iu the State. Of every
nine convicts in the eastern penitentiary, in
tb31, four weie negroes ; of every uine, in
1S41, seven were blacks! This is au alarm
ing disproportion, considering the fewuess of
the blacks.'
But whatever theory we may adopt, the
facts are alarming. They show a state of
things, which we cannot iuuoccutly neglect.
If one in 43 of the white inhabitants of Massa
chusetts were insane, there would be a ma
niac iu every nitilh family ; their number
would be 16,954 ; their accommodation would
requite 73 such hospitals as that at Worces
ter, the erection of which would cost $7,519,
bOL) ; and their suppoit, at $150 each, would
cost $2,543,1 uO aiiuually.
What ought to be done for this unfortunate
race, is a question which claims the earliest
attention of the statesman aud the philanthrop
ist. It is certain that dispersing them among
the white population is not au act of intelli
gent kiuduess. Jlfrican Repository.

ALARIC, king of the Visigoths, who plun
dered the Peloponnesus iu S95, appears
first as au ally of the Romans, whose weak
ness he discovered and profited by. When,
he first threatened Rome, his forbearance was
puichased by a . ransom of 50UU pounds of
gold, 3U,(JU0 pounds -of silver, 4UUU garmeuts
of siik, 3000 pieces of fine scat let cloth, and
3UUU pouuds of pepper. In 410, the Goths
leiuriie'i, peuetiated '.be city, aud socked it.
The treasures which had been accumulating
Uuifng a thousand years, vauished iu three
days beneath the hands of the rapacious con
querors. The llames destroyed winks of ait
which the barbarians were unable to cairy off,
but Alaric spared the churches aud those who
had sought refuge in them. Alaiic died at a
Cal.il.it iu town, (Coseuzu,) A. D. 41 U, when
he was ptepai ing to lay waste Scicily and
Africa. In order to couceai his remains from
the Romans, slaves were employed to divert
tha watois of the Buseuto, and hollow his last
resting-place in the channel of the stream ;
when the eaith had received the body of the
conqueror, the waves were permitted to rush
in above it, ami the slaves we.e murdered, that
Al.oic's sectet might be iu the keeping of the
waters auu the voiceiess dead.
A man named James Jobson has been in

We regret to s'ate that bilious and ague and
fever complaints, loan extent unprecedented
for years past, are pievaiiiug in Ihe lower part
of ihis county; and iu Alaitiu, Pitt, aud
Beaufort counties. Many severe cases have
occuritd, aud very sudden deaths. A repoM
reached here that the yellow fever was pie
vaiiiug iu Washington, nut we are happy to
learn that it is without foundation. Greenville
has also been very sickly and an unusual
degree of sickuess has prevailed iu this place,
which apparently is not yet subsiding.

It so chanced that at Ihe place where the
