A FIRST RATE SCHOONER.
p&f yesterday went on board the new three mast
ct acbooncr James II. Chadbourn, Captain Wain-
" -WBIGHT. ' It is possible that our judgment may be
warped by ourpartiality for the nam?, but we
thkik she is one of tbe'-finest vessels of her class
we ever saw. Her length ofkeel is 126 feet, breadth
of beam 30 feet, depth f hold 10 feet, and she
measures 400 tons, i The House is 50 feet Ion,
and is divided into a Cabin 15 feet long, and a
house 35 feet long for the storage of merchandise
The Cabin has four state rooms, 6 feet by 7, very
well fitted up with two wide berths in each.
From her appearance she must sail well; we
were informed that she has run 12 miles per hour
a speed seldjra if ever exceeded without the
aid of steam. ..
One half of the" J. H. C. belongs to Messrs. J.
H. CHiDBOOEN-& Co. and Capt. Wainwrioht, -her
commander. The other half is owned in Jfew
York. She hails from this port, and we consider
her a very creditable addition to our mercantile
marine. We know of bone more worthy of suc
cess than the owners of the Wilmington moiety
a full measure of which they have our best wish
es to attain. r 11,
CAPE FEAR AND DEEP RIVER.
We regret that we have not space to insert an
interesting letter of J. H. Hacghton, Esq,, one of
the Directors, and always an active and efficient f
help to tbe interests and progress of the Cape
F ear and Deep River Improvement. M r. IIaugu
tom was prompted to wriie the letter, which ap
pears in the Raleigh Register, by an attack of Dr.
Mitchell, of tlie University, on the improvement
of the upper Cape Fear, ia which he asserts that
its navigation is impracticable. Mr. Haugbton
controverts this position, and maintains that the
present plan of improvement will afford good
navigation in the lowest water during tho sever
est drought, and that the Whs and dams, proierly
constructed, will withstand the most violent fresh
f cts ever known.
LARGE MEETING.
Some four or five thousand persons assembled
at the Metropolitan Hall, New York, on Thursday
last, which the Washington Union describes as an
immense "meeting of French, Ita'.ian, German,
Hungarian, Swiss and Cuban exiles, marshalled
under their respective revolutionary banners,"
with "speeches in French, Spanish, German and
8clavonian."
The object was to honor tho course of Captain
Isgraham, in the Kusta affair, and to vote him a
gold medal. i
We have no objection, for one, to givinglthc
gallant Captain the credit of being incited by ho
norable and patriotic motives. But, when" , We
are required to connect this with the' doetrine
that a foreigner, who has merely declared his in
tention of becoming a citizen, and still resides in
a foreign country, and is not required in bis de
claration to abjure his allegiance to hik native
country. When we are required we say, lo admit
that he is, under these circumstances, entitled to
all the benefits, and fights, and protection of a
citisen, we beg to be permitted to retaiathe small
portion of common sense necessary f to discern
that this doctrine is fallacious and foolish.
Mr. Edward Everk-tt sent a letter to the
meeting, approving of its object, so far as the
Captain is concerned, which ha concludes as fol
lows: "Important questions of law, both muni
cipal and international, present themselves in the
case, some of which are new. On these questions
as our information of acts Is incomplete and
unofl3ciai--I. reserve ' my judgment. There can
be but one opinion of tbe noble conduct of Capt.
Igaju.' r r " s " '
Wo need not be surprised that Mr. Everett en
tertain doubts, when tbe Hon. R.J. Walker
wrote a letfer, espousing Captain Inorauam's
cause, and the right of Kosta to protection, be
cause there is a )pnlar breeze rippling over the
political waters, to catch which, certain gentls
; meo have loosened their sails, and, we fear, wi
dened their consciences.
..There is a singular feature in this transaction
; of. flummery and fnss. Mr. Francis Meagher!
1 declined attending the meeting, saying, " I am not
yet a citizen of the United States." The remark
, was worthy of that noble Irish heart, soon to be
come an American. Mr. Meagher does not as-
V; aunMi th risbt. to act in matters relative to the
Jiooor and Interest of the United States, though
bo bsi declared his intention and lives among
us. . Mr. Kosta requires the United States to pro
tect bim while residing in a foreign land I
By tbe doctrine now attempted to be promul
gated, the United States might get into a quarrel
with another Mtien about one in Kosta's situa
tion, and when tbe 6ghi' was over, he might tell
Uncle Sam, that be dnl" intend to become a citi

.- If? A SINGULAR EPISTLE.
The following letter appears to us to bo of a
Very 'extraordinary character. Mr. Colbt gires
very singular reason for abandoning the work.
Opposition should impel people to psh n
enterprise with increased determination and zeal.
The letter appears in the Ealeigh Register ;
" OoiwoaD, Sept. 20, 1853.
Mr Editor ; At the instance of several gentle
men of high standing in this State, Mr. Smith and
myself, shortly after visiting North Carolina, were
induced to subscribe for a large portion of tbe
stock in the Fayettevtlle and Western Ran Roarl.
We had no mistrust as to the utility and success of
the work, nor did we anticipate, at the time of
subscription, any opposition, at least in North
Carolina. But since we hare commenced active
operations on the road, we have felt and witness
ed with deep mortification and pain, th series of
attacks made upon this road, and the deep river
improvement, by Dr. Elisha Mitchell, Professor
of Geology and Mineralogy, at Chapel Hill a
gentleman of great learning, occupying a high
and commanding position thront;oUt the whole
country, and especially Jn the immediate vicinity.
"Seeing this determined opposition,! most res-
pectfully suggest to my fellow stockholders, as
well as to those interested In the River Improve
ment, whether it would not bo prudent, and to
our interest, to abandon both these works forth
with, and save all further expenditure.
Most rcsiecifully,
JOHN L. COLBY."
New York Correspondence of the Commercial
Conclusion of the Morgan A fair at Neieporl Death,
of Mr. Harry R. W. Hill, the Millionaire, and
Public Benefactor at New Orhans Detention of
Southerners Half Pennies.
New York, Sept. 2Gth.
In my last letter I mentioned that Mr. Morgan
had committed an assault uion Mr. Hone at New
port. It appears that when the altercation be
tween Morgan and his wife occurred, they were
stopping at the Bellevuc House, and Mr. Hone at
the Touio. The ladies at the latter, upon hearing
Mrs. Morgan's difficulties and indignities, held an
indignation meeting, and requested Mr. Hone to
intercede in behalf of the injured lady. Forti
fied with this high prerogative, Mr. Houe stopped
forth as the champion of the fair sex in general,
and of Mrs. Morgan in particular. He soon found
himself involved iu the perilous tak of intermed
ling in the concerns between man and wife. In a
few days Mr. and Mrs. Morgan made up, and were
as loving as ever, and Morgan, taking advantage
of the pacification, revenged himself by the as
sault upon Mr. Hone. Two prosecutions, a crim
inal and a civil one, unise out of this affair, aud
the former taking precedence, Morgan was ad
mitted to bail in the sum of oue thousand dollars.
This he forfeited, aud he aud his wife were seen
riding about New York in their carriage day be
fore yesterday, and both together since then, have
taken their departure in the steamer Franklin for
Havre and Paris. It is always safest to let man
and wife alone to settle their own affairs, and to
this conclusion Mr. Hone will no doubt come, for,
notwithstanding bis chivalry and good motives, he
Is not likely to realize from them any other pay
than that which Paddy gave the drum. These
scandalous developments will have no other effect
upon society than to show off its weak and cor
rupt features, and tbe repulsive deformities which
tho mantle of fashion throws over its deluded vo
taries in the magical circle of high life, into which
so many arc anxious to enter.
The public papers, a few days since, announced
the death of Mr. Harry Hill of New Orleans. He
died at his plantation near that city. He deser
ves a passing notice, not only on account of his
great wealth, but his public enterprise, and dis
tinguished munificence. When the epidemic ap
peared, he at once contributed five hundred dol
lars to the Howard Association for the relief of
tbe sick poor. Finding that the pestilence was on
the Increase, he authorized the Howard Society to
call on him every week for the sum of one hund
red and fifty dollars as long as the fever prevailed.
Mr. Hill was attached to the Methodist denomi
nation, and some months since he purchased a
tract of ground fronting Tivoli Circle in New Or
leans, on which he designed erecting, at his own
expense, a Methodist Church, the outlay upon
which, including the premises, was to have been
$120,000. He was for a long time, the Nashville
partner of the House of Dick & Hill of New Or
leans. They were large Cotton Factors, and hav
ing made liberal advances to farmers and specula
tors, the firm became involved in 1837, and, as an
indemnity for their advances, they soon found
themselves in possession of numerous plantations
and a largo slave interest. With such productive
and valuable assct9, their credit was speedily re
established, and their wealth increased. The two
Mr. Dicks died immensely rich, and Mr. McLane,
the remaining partner, withdrawing in 1851, Mr.
Hill continued the business alone, under the
title, however, owing to unsettled claims, of
Harry Hill & Co. That same year, also, they
experienced a temporary drawback, by suspend
ing payment for two or three months, arising
from the pressure of the money market, and the
low condition of the waters of the Mississippi,
which kept the produce from market. But their
resources were undoubted. Mr. Hill, besides
other property, was the owner of one or two sugar
estates, and of six or seven cotton plantations.
His cotton crop last year amounted to 4,700 bales.
His fortune is estimated at a million and a half,
the result, too, of bis individual enterprise and
business capacity. He was a widower, and has
left an only son and heir to these princely posses-
sions.
It is seldom that Providence permits the accu
cumulation of great wealth in individual hands,
without some countervailing drawback. Mr.
Hill's son is very slightly removed above a state
of idiocy: such is the destiny of the opulent.
Their hopes of supremacy and perpetuity are cut
oflf in tho profligacy, disobedience, iDsanity, or
idiocy of their offspring; and great possessions
are hoarded up, only to be speedily distributed
for the general benefit of poor and struggling hu-
manitv. Such has been the general result of
things, in this respeet, ever since the return of
the prodigal son, the rebellion of Absalom, the
fataity of the son of Croesus, and tho recorded
history of many ancient and modern millionaires.
There are many Southerners here from New
Orleans asd Mobile, who would gladly return
home if they could do so with impunity. The
prevalence of the fever in tbe river towns on the
Mississippi, is very embarrassing to the Louisia
na planters who are at tbe North with their fa
milies. There is do abatement of tho pressure upon
tbe hotels. They are as much crowded as ever,
and will continue so throughout October. It has
been a prevalent Impression, that October "would
