JOSEPH 11. DOKKILLT SITIO H M’CLAPI! TOWNSEND JOSHUA r OWB»J GEN. JOSIAH lARLaN ON EXTENDING AMERICAN COKIIEROE WITH CENTRAL ASIA Some days agi we laid before our roadors an important wpnnnnication, addressed by (Jen. Joslah Harlan, a native of Philadel phia, mil a resident at this timo of Chester county on the Cultivation of tlio Cahul grapoof Certral ABin, and tho manufacture of wno AW this grape. General Hablak is well qualified to write on this subject, and, indeed, upon all that relies to India and the affairs of Contra) fncturog tttor<MTn);Borabay,MadrftS,find Calcutta. Although tho merchandise supplied /by Russia down to.hi? southern commercial lino of Central Asia, is chiejy of foreign manufacture and mostly tho product if China, ns fino silks; toaß, syceo sil ver, Uno porcjlain, drugs of Tartary, chorso ami oiilum, &o M th> ooarsor wares being of Russian ori gin, tho tradotiof iminonso valuo to tho Russian Government ancan objoofc of jealous solicitudo. It is only nccessarjto open a way for thoenterpriso ,of our pcpplo to oiable thorn to oompoto with and ultimately controlthi' nd tho British- trade with ...is nnd tho Bnu. tradowift Control Asia. A Twt stroara of common) in man ufactured articles lowa from Russia and British; India, in which our dtlzonshAvC novor participa ted. .It is AWoII-knarn fact that out coarse cot ton«hare, yean sinto, superseded tho English artifclo in their own jwta of Bombay; Madras and Calcutta, and thoso gools aro introduced into Ara bia and Afhoa; via Muscat, and intoTorala also, to somo extent, by the Fenian Gulf. Tho capital of! Persia can only ho considered as ono distributing point. Commercial treat.es must bo formed with tho principal independent chiefs of Khorassan, Bulkin and Bocbatroh and Khwarlzm, . With tho prinoeg of- Khorassan rosidtng in Cabal, tho capi ta!,-and Kandhftr, I ani connected-by tho rites of hoppitolity'; os also those living in tho province <of Bulkh, in Tartary. I amaboat publishing an aoi coant of tho manners and oustomsof tho inhabi tants of Bulkh- and tho. Faropamisors, which will display tho political relations of tho several princi palities existing in Central ABia and Khorassan. I propose issuing tho work in time to meet the m -1 vo&tigation which ■ mast bo unde by a future eosr i sion of Congress upon this subject. |. The Circassian range of raduntains. is now tho | dividing Uno between Ilussian and British com | moroo, extending from the Caspian to the Indus, r Tho bsfcnsM motive of tho Knplish for invading i Avghanlatan was the protoxfc of otlond- I Ing-hojr coouncreCj.ftnd to opon a largo outlet for I thoyimanufooturos of Great Britaip, But tho so i oret design was to dpposo nmldrlve bock Russian i political’influcnco from her frontier border, whlcji was causing dangerous Agitation on her north western, frontior,tin conspquonco of tho. siege of i Horauth by tho King of Persia, sustained by Rus [ sian diplomacy. Amorican competition may bear off tho fruits of hor wars and lavish oipondituro i of treasure for tho opening of commoroial bonofits.

Tho voesol then, had a .heavy llet to the starboard, and lod further ofl* into tho trough of tho soa. Tho whools of tho ship woro tbon turning slcwly. At this timo buckets woro boiug passed into tho engine room; but as this work was not under doponont’s charge, ho devoted bis entire at tention to,his duties on dock. At about two o’clock P. M., it having 1 tbon been found impossible to got tbo ship’s head to tho sea, tho forestaysail wassotwithtbo objoctof gettinf the ship off before the wind, and tho oanvas wad st thosnmo time taken from tho main and misim rigging, but immodiatolv on bofng sot'thO stayMU was blown to pieces, Thoro was still a very hmvy soa, and the gale continued unabated. An attempt was then inado to hoist tbo foroyard with tbeelows of tho foresail lashed to tho oyobolts in th» deck, in order to got'tho ship before the wind, hot before the yard had boen raised throe feet from Ihe dcck tho sail blow iuto fragments. Tho jib war then cut from tho. forotopujast stay to set os a forostaysail, bat before it wna bent on tho forestay jrdors'were 'ivcotogot adrag over, to try and get the ship’s ' lead ter the eoa. - Tbo drag, consisting-.of the foroyard, with a heavy kedgeanchor,; was then got over, with a nine-ipch hawser bent to the middle of the yard. A largor anchor would have been used but for the roason' the ship iris listed over on her beam otulsi that we cbuld not get the yard to tho bow wlioro those anchors wore hong,; to make it fast to ono of them, YV© vcored out on that hawser somo forty or fifty fathoms. Then ordorsworoglvon by tho captain, to cut Away tho fordmaat, which was done - ; and after thatVe paid' out ninety to a hundred fathoms on the .’Kaweor, which wasmodo fast round tho stump of tbe fore mast, andlcd out of the forward cathead During this period we woro awaro that the after pump was working/ Tho forward pump was not working, aa tho forejratdi ’from its poeiuon,-lying across the rail, provonted the working of it. . As to tho work Ooq time bolow deok or aft, our atten-' oing entirely engrossed with bur duties on tho forward deck, wo know nothing of it. As soon ns the yard wo3 got over na a drag, the forward pump was started and worked.' Tne drag: had no effect’ in bringing tho ship’s head up, and that was the. lost .effort toward that, objoot ‘which it was in our power to make. After that wo re mained for flcvoral’ hours at tho forward pumps, which vrero wbrked steadily;' tho 100 pump hoyo water all night; tho:woather pump bovo water up .to.about midnight, when tho ohamber burst. Tbo deponent, John Black, deposes that ho remained at the forwnrd pump until about six o’olockA. M; Tho deponont, James M.

After having spent Borne time iji aiding and encouraging the bailer*, tho doponent, James M.

These exertions continued steadily all night. On Saturday morning, the 12th inst\ about daylight, this deponont, James Mi Frazer,'having hoard one one of tho possongers oxpress tho idea that the. pump* were not heaving water, Jookod down tho gtdo to ascertain iho fact. The ship was so llatod overthatho.cyuld not seo the discharge pipeof the after pump, nor was he certain how tbe fact was witli rcspoct to it, but on going fbrward he ascer tained 'difltihotly that ' the looWttd pump’forward was heaving water. The weathor pump forward had thon tho ohamber bnrsted just below the dis-. chnrgopipo. About M o'doek in tho morning, this deponent,. John Rlack, wa3 orderod aft to ng tackles to tho mfzzen stay, for tho purposo’of using whips to heart) out tho water by tubs, which ho did, and thoreaf-. tor remained there, attending to tho bailing out by tubs and whlps untll fio was oallod away at about 2! o’clock, P. M., to attend to carrying passongors' off in tho boat to tho brig Marino. We had throo whips rigged, oaoh ovor .one of the aft hotohways, and with each whip wo used n beef or pork barrel to heavo water over. At about tho timo tho said John Bfdqk was or-, dored aft as aforesaid, viz., at about 6i P. M., th’s deponent, James M. Frazer, went forward, and having oxamined tbo forward pumps ns aforesaid, aawod off tho ehuiu. whioh yi-as shackled to tho starboard bow nnobor, .and lot .it nnd the an obor go.

Then deponont went below and rigged two whips between decks, to hoigt wator as high ns ;tljo uppor stoorago, nnd thon discharge it through the fcouppera of that dock. At this timo the freight room was aboutone-half or two-thirdsfullof water, in tho judgmont of thogo deponents. Shortly, af. tohrerd this denonont; James U.

Mr* Buchanan and the Clergymen* Tho grave- and venerable editor of. tho National Inielltgenctr, although, politically op; posed to the President, thus rebates the New Haven ministers, and vindicates the motives of Hu BceiUuAN: r . MWe may venture, however, to express our re gret memorialist*, in stating their com plaints,' shonTctb&vo adorned with so much positire ness their own theory,.honestly entertained, we doubt not, of the protracted difficulties ia Kansas, and manifested so little allowance for any possible difference; of. opinion which might, conflict with their own impressions. Their experience and,ob servation, we think, should have taught them the fallibility of hnman judgment as in all moral ques tion?, so especially in those involving political pre poasssaioqs, and induced them to admit a wider scopo for the play of adverse, though equally sin cere, cohviolions of duty in a case of admitted dif ficulty and embarrassment. Tho reply of the Pre sident, even though it may fail to change thefr views in the premises, will at least, we doubt not, suffice to vindicate tho purity of his motives, apd disclose the grounds on which, as a con scientious magistrate,he feels called to take a posi tion quite different from that which they would as sign him.”; ; . Attempt to Shoot his 'Wife—Shocking Case of Self-Destruction. • CoronerPannenter,6f Newburgh,held an inquest oa Thursday lust, upon the body of Ezra Under hill, who committed suicide the night previous by shooting himself with a pistol: It appears that deceased aadihia wife separated on the 29th of April last, previous to which time they had lived very unhappily together, the principal cause being jealousy on ..his part. Sineo the separation hits. Underhill and her two children have lived with tbs father of tho deceased, and in Newburgh. The deceased obtained from Conrad in Cofdcn street, the loan of a double-barrelled pistol, which Mr. D. loaded for him, and learning that his wife waaatthe house of a Mrs. Coon, proceeded to the residence of.that lady, and after considera ble dlficuUy obtained entrance into the house. Be presented the pistol at his wife, .which luckily missed fire.? lie was then thrust out of doore. In about ten ‘minutes after his.ejeotion the report of a p\stf)l,waa heard. - It is not supposed that he at tempted to'destroy himself, but that he was lark ing'near tho house waiting for his wife to come out, intending to shoot her. Under this impression, Mm. Goon and Underhill cautiously left .the house in quest of aid, which was procured, and the unfortu nate' man was found dead at the back door of the residence of bis wife, having shot himself through tho head. The Converted Actor in Elmira* ; . One of the most thrilling, experiences that we ; ‘evcr heard was rotated by Sr. Strickland, the ex actor, in’the'BapUst Church last Sabbath evening. The Incidents, the language, and the elocution held tho largo audience in the most rapt attention for ©TftranhtroT. ( Mr. and Mrs. Strickland—thDWVll known ‘‘Fanny Strick!aod ; ’—after having played &ucoe£fttl)y in London and Other European cities, came to this land. They were fulfilling a profes sional«bgngeraoht in Louisville, Ky., when the holy spirited' arrested hhn in his career of sin, and turned his feet into the paths of holiness.. At the altar of a Saviour’s, lovo he cheerfully sacrificed professional honor and the prospects of amassing wealth; and consecrated himselfto the humble yet rub!ini« work, of preaching the Gospel to hi* fellow men. His story is oho of the most fascinating wo ever heard. Tho description of the actor’s death, in .an old ivy -covered church where he had been sketching .a.scene for the theatre—that of the tragedian’s expiring throes and bitter regrets, as he was removed from the stage—and the hour and circumstances of his own conversion—trero exceed ingly life-like sketches. He swayed tho congrega tion as : with a magio wand—uow creating the pleasant smile. and anon drawing forth tsars of sympathy. —Elmira Advertiser.
