':3 V AcW; articles have appeared in this paper ffeheadedj'.'froni '."the Editor." That caption is cx- " jlodedand wewill now have to say "by the Ed- :itor, ;VV' - 't ' ' : -." We made some remarks relative to the United States Hotel in Boston, and mentioned that one "was not "there "annoyed by ceremony." There are sereralliours for dining, &c, and the traveller may choose, in this Very large establishment, the table occupied chiefly .by business gentlemen ; or others at which jlhere "ajte different degrees of cer emony and etfqactte-'bal in each department he will find every attention, and in thishonse a home. Wavnoliced this arrangement mere particularly on Our rciuru, uu iu uiu. s , On Friday the Cth, we took the eight o'clock train for New York.' !: We ofeerved that the trav - cllers on this train wore rery siecially reserved. To the questions "What atrcaiB is that V "What town is thisl"' &c. &c. there-wasal" ays an nn satisfactory reply amounting to tfte jdea, "we wonder trhat business yon have to Inquire- about onr concerns." We asked one of the" officials of the train, if smoking was allowed In any of the cars as we indulge, occasionally Jri that rirtne- be said he believed that the thing could be done in the baggage car. Some time after, we said to the Conductor, or whatever the person is called who takes and gives the Tickets and Checks :'Wc have been told that smoking is allowed in the baggage car." And what does the reader sup pose this very gentlemanly person said 1 '-You'll not smoke in the baggage car on this train." Gra cious! The young gentleman might as well have said right out, at once, 41 cock a-doodle-do !" Inthe evening we arrived at our old quarters, the National on Court land Street, New York. Ttie house was crowded : we were told that ouc hnn drcd persons had been sent away that evening and considered that we wenj in a quandary. Among the gentlemanly persons in the office of the Hotel, was one of the Book Keepers, who gave, ns his private room, rather than we should go abroad at that time of the evening to hunt oth er quarters. We will always remember his kind ness. The city was much more crowded on onr re turn, than on the previous week. We found, and it did ns good to find them many from North Carolina and a goodly number of good persons from "our" town of Wilmington as Gov. Reid would say. Oar folks may think they don't like each other so very well when at home, but when they meet abroad, they find out that they are brethren. We advise any one who feels a .little cross at his neighbor here to go and meet him in New Yorc, or any where north of the line he will find out that be is not half so mad as he thought he was. li struck us that persons of a cei tain class might be greatly benefitted and instructed by a vbit to onejof our crowded cities. We mean the squires and bead men of villages ; gentlemen young and old who walk the streets of onr small towns with certain peculiarities. The young ones seeming to say, mentally, "lam some pumpkins anyhow," and the old ones "Am I not a very respectable gentleman, and entitled to general obeisance ?" Both requiring that they be the "observed of all observers." If they do not lose their self-conceit In Broadway, then there is no " purchase in mon ey," nor meanness in a "shotten herring." They cannot help being convinced that there are other personages in the world besides themselves. On Wednesday at Philadelphia, on Thnrsday at Baltimore, and on Friday night at Wilmington, ends the record. The fine steamer North Caroli na, one of the line on the Bay Route, is a credit, able addition to the means of conveyance. WjJ have said enough, we fear to weary the attention of our readers, and suppress many details,, of wiiich our memory is full. The closing ride, Oft onr own excellent road, amidst the rattling of the wheels and the noise of the engine, seemed to be all the time whispering : "Home sweet homf." THE FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS. The New Orleans Delta, of the 8d inst., says ' it is the general opinion of medical gentlemen and of others who are familiar with the natare "and history of the disease, that the yellow fever will linger there, as long as it has subjects, until frost. Gen. Twiggs bas tendered the use of Fort S. Phillippe for a quarantine hospital, but the Boaid of Health have determined to occBpyjpn'y Fort Jackson for the present. -''yf THE EPIDEMIC AT MOBILE. On the 2d inst., there were 87 yellow fever deaths at Mobile, and on the 8d inst., there were 25 more. Among the deaths noticed in the pa pers are those of the Rer. ffra. Powell, pastor of the 8t. Francis street M. E. church, and of Mr. Hugh L. French, the proprietor of the race course. Tuesday last was observed by the citi xenas aday of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in obedience to a proclamation of the Mayor. A Pay Of General Fasting;, Humiliation and Prayer. - 'The editors of the Savannah Georgian and Col umbia Sooth Carolinian think that the calamity which lias befallen New Orleans is one that would justify the. President in setting apart a day .. throughout the land for humiliation and prayer, . and for one universal contribution of means to " relieve the continued and pressing necessities of the afficted. If well-bred woman is surprised in a careless costume, she does not try to dodge behind the door to conceal the deficiencies, nor does she turn - red and stammer confused excuses. She remains calm and self-possessed, and makes up in dignity what the may want in decoration. . J4 : - THE FISHERIES. Sr. Joaxa, N. F 8cpt. 8.

' " THE EASTERN QUESTION.- The following '-dispatches caused Considerable excitement," I hey being interpreted that the Rus sians, hrecmssed the Truth which,-, however does notappear fo be the case:- " Bucharest, Aug. 10. Gen. Osten-Sacken, the commander of the third corps of the Russian ar jtny, has crossed the Pruth with his forces. Gen. Lnders, who commands the 5th corps, is still at Ismael. 7 '. Gif.ATZ, Aug. 12 A Russian Commission has arrived at the Sulina month, to investigate the condition of the river, and to advise as to the means of making it navigable." A report prevailed at Constantinople on the 11th that a collision had taken place between Omar Pacha and the Russians on the Danube. Had there been any truth in the report it would have reached us in a more authentic shape ere now. As usual, it is from Paris that we have the only information we possess respecting the progress of affairs. Correspondence from that capitol states that the French government had received dis patches from Vienna, which are surmised to con tain the adhesion of the Porte, but only on the indispensable condition that the Danube Princi palities shall be evacuated, before the Sultan will send an ambassador to the Czar. To meet this punetillio the Vienna conference had proposed a middle course, for tho joint acceptance of the Czar and the Sultan. This proposal had been communicated from Vienna to Constantinople and St. Petersburg, snd some time must necessarily elapse before replies can be received. Alii Pacha is mentioned as the intended Envoy to St. Peteisburg. From Constantinople, the general tone of cor respondence indicates that England is losing from day to day her credit, influence, and popularity in the East, while France is gaining in the same pro portion, from the firm attitude the has taken du ring the whole of these troubles. ENGLAND. On the 24th at Osborne, Mr. Ingersoll delivered to the Queen his letters of recall, and Mr. Bu chanan was presented b3- the Earl of Clarendon. 'Three hundred and seventy railway laborers had. been embarked nt Southampton for Sydney, under conlract to work for two years on the Syd ney Railroad at five shillings sterling per day. They. were accompanied by their families. ? THE CROPS, v In regard to the all important question of the grain crops, the advices are that in England wheat is ajjort, but the quality good ; other small grains favorable; tlie potato disease very partial. In Scotland, the crops nre generally good. Broken weather has visited Ireland, but the crop have not thus far suffered. In France the wheat crop is 25pcr cc.it short. Rye, bai ley and oats abun dant The south of Russia yields most favorably. In Holland and Italy the crops are decidedly short. The grain markets in Great Britain and Fiance are all reported firmer and higher. There is much simulation goinj; on, nnd money is sufficiently abundant to lend till necessary facilities to the op erations As the steamer sailed, the weather at LivcrjooV was rainy 'with high winds. FRANCE. The commission appointed bv the Minister of Marine and polonies to examine Erickson's caloric discovery bad arrived at Havre, an engine on the caloric principle being placed for trial in the wot ks of M.

Three daughters of Mr DeWolf, of Chicago, who were scalded by the dis aster on board the steamer Bay State, have died at the New York hospital. Mr. Warren of Dart mouth, Mass., has also died.

Mrs. De W. and tier other daughter were also slightly scalded. There were 300 or 400 passengers on board, and nearly all asleep when the explosion occurred. THE BUENA VISTA. The brig Bnena Vista, which vessel put into this port some two or three weeks since, on ac count of the sickness of Captain Wines, whose death we have already announced, was towed to sea yesterday by the steamer Sam.

The following extract from a letter of a Ger man, to the New York Evening Post, gives a true conception of the moral mission of this country. It is ours to give, not the forms of liberty, but a practicable exhibition of their use. When the down trodden of other countries are capable of liberty capable of the social relations from which liberty results, they will find no great difficulty in the forms of its development. But until so in structed, to give them forms of liberty to com pel them to adopt and practice them, will be but to impose a foreign, instead of a domestic despot ism : '-The writer s'ates that he Iras not xeen the first man who even hopes or da-ires a revolution ; still les one who would aft therein.

From the Ratrfeh Reaisttr, Sept. 1C. PREPARATIONS FOR THE FAIR. We are happy to be able to say that everything is going on well. The grounds are being enclo sed, and the necessary buildings are in the course of erection. We harned, in conversation with intelligent far mers from Franklin, Wayne, and Warren, a few days since, that those Countries will be well rep resented in the Fair. We hope to hear the same of every County in the State. We arc not san guine enough to expect a very magnificent dis play nt the first Fair, for it is a new enterprise, a novelty, which will owe its interest mainly to the enerey of a few. But it is a beginning, and each succeeding year will add to its value and attrac tiveness. Certainly, there is no deficiency of ma ferial. It is a flattering fact, that North Carolina produces, within herself, the staple of every oth er State in the Union, and is the only one that does it ! The barley and potato of Maine, and the su -1 .- 1 . . . r. Siu Him cHuuu 01 me couiii, una somewhere in her borders a genial climate, while in minora wealth she is of course unrivalled.

The Hamburg Republican contains a notice that application will be made to the next Legislature for a charier to bmld a railroad from Hamburg to a point below Columbia, with a view of forming a connection with the Wilmington and Manches ter Railroad. The Republican expresses itself in favor of the project. FLORIDA INDIANS. Gen. Hopkins, in a recent letter to the editor of the Jacksonville Republican, computes the mini bcr of Indians in Florida, to be about 1.000 and he estimates the warriors at about 217 strong. In 1817. according to an estimate made by Captain Casey of the Army, there were 147 warriors in the country. Indian boys of 12 years of age arc estimated as warriors. Serious Accident ou the Camden and Amboy Railroad. j lie iviaii l'uot Jjine irom xvcw lorK. aue in this city at 10 o'clock last night, did not arrive until after 2. The cause of the detention, we re gret to state, arose from some obstruction on the road in the vicinity of Beverly, which, owing to the darkness of the night, was not perceived by the officers of the train. The cars were, conse quently, thrown off the track, and, we are inform ed, one of the brakemen was killed and the en gineer seriously injured. Our informant did not ascertain their names. None of the passengers were injured. Immediately on the receipt of the news of this sad accident reaching this city, a special train was despatched to Beverly, to bring on the mails and passengers. Philadelphia Inquirer 10th inst. NEW STEAMER. The steamer Maj. Wm. Barnet has been altered and fitted up by Mr. T. S. Lutterloh for a assen- eer boat between this place and Wilminetou. The old masculine military name has been changed to the more enphonious feminine appellation of the :'Alice." She has, wc learn, already commenced her regular trips. Carolinian, lOti inst. STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION. New York, Sept. 8 The steamer Bay State, from Fall River for New York, burst her boiler this morning, severely scalding some dozen pas sengers, among whom were Mr. De Wolf, of Chi ca;o, and Mr. Warren, of Dartmouth, Mass. No one was killed. The accident was caused by the caps of the cylinder flying off, driving tho steam into the Ladies' cabin. The steamer Connecticut fortunately soon came alongside, took the passen gers offh and brought them to the .city. Four persona aerioualy injured, and taken to the hos pitalprobably will die.

THE MISSOURI. The Missouri River has opened for itself a new outlet into the Mississippi. On Saturday week it succeeded in cutting a new mouth, or debonch, into the Mississippi, across the point of land ly ing about half a mile above where it has run of late years. It now strikes the Mississippi in a direction which is likely to prevent the washing of the Illinois or eastern shore to any injurious extent. At the last accounts two steamers had passed thiotigh the new chute, and this may now be regarded at the main channel of the Missouri. DISASTROUS FRESHET. It is our unpleasant duty to announce another disastrous freshet in the Pee Dee river. During the past week there fell au unusual quantity of rain, the clouds running np the river. On Satur day the river commenced rising, and continued to rise until Monday evening, when it came to a stand within about two inches of the highest freshet ever known. From the vast quantity of drift, the lowlands on the river and its tributa ries must be swept almost to their sources. The crops must have suffered severely, to judge by the continued stream of pumpkins, melons, &c., which passed this place. Below, the destruction of the crops on the lowlands will be almost com plete, the water Wing rather higher than in Au gust, 1862. Our river planters have a hard time of it, this being the fourth destructive annual summer freshet, occurring near the same period of the year, between the 20th of August and the 5th of September. The river yesterday morning had fallen only a few inches. It is still slowly subsiding. Cheraw Gazette, Sept. 7. COUNTERFEITS. There are 20 counterfeit notes on the Bank of Augusta.
