to make its appearance hereabouts,
reminding onr people that coal is exceeding
ly yph, and that those who laid in their winter
supply' or “ black diamonds” last August
i. up treasures" in their cellars. Our
trees cast lighter shadows—our ladies have
attended and admired the fall opening of
milinery—peaches are about gone, grapes
have a silvery covering denoting that Jack
Frost has developed himself— ffies are not
quite so plenty and less pertinacious in their
attentions— musquitoes are sharper but less
numerous than ever—there are lighter draft
of lager and the demand for juleps is decreas
ing—Dutchmen go gunning on Long Island
early o’ mornings for HigbhoWcrs—the pale
laces of Fifth Avenue have returned from
Saratoga and opened their blinds—white
pants and low-necked dresses are giving
way to mauve-colored tiowsers and higli
uecked silks—the square-built bonnets create
quite a sensation on the promenades, the
Park, and in pater-familias’ pocket—and
other indications prevail that winter is coin
in'', although we all yet expect a first-class
equinoctial to initiate us into our first chill.
God help the poor!
Found nt Last.
•An old farmer from Westchester county
lias arrived iu town, who is the owuer of the
deepest well in that locality, bringing a few
stunted specimens ot vegetation, which ho
managed to sell to our Washington mnfket
dealers. Notwithstanding his poor crop he
felt qji'e elated, and Invited Horace Greeley,
Weed, Preston Kiug, and sundry others to
visit his “ranch,” as he had something there
undoubtedly which had been searched for a
great many years, and he thought it would
lie of great service to politicians. On being
questioned closely, be stated that his well
was perfectly dry, (like the City Hall loafers),
nud that that inestimable gem—Truth—must
bs at its bottom, as it never before was
empty. Certain enquirers left him suddenly.
Cleaned Out.
Our New York sporting men who went to
bet on the recent boat race, were the most
sorry set of “cleaned out” fancy men ever
seen hereabouts. They lost all their money,
then l»st their temper, and on the route back
well might the Captain of the steamboat have
exclaimed, as did a certain follow when
wrecked on the shores of Prosper.*'# Island,
“ Hell is empty, and all the dcyils are In re
Sen Captain.
are having rather a hard time of it here.
Nearly every vessel arriving brings a report
of mutiny or allure of passengers ; the former
caused by hard usage on the part ot the
ship's officers, and the latter tell most pitiful
tab sot rough treatment, bad food, starva
tion, etc. One sea captain has been held for
trial, after a full examination by the United
Status Commissioner, for cheating, heating
and starving some five hundred passengers
If the latter prove all they alledge, the case
for the captain locks black indeed.
Our Dust Ball Players
are delighted with the reception given them
and tlie courtesies extended l>y their down
east trieuds. The Atlantic Club think that
their Eastern brethren have the advantage
in muscle-lraiumg, inasmuch as they can
build up on tried cianu—whereas here they
have to depend upon the less consistent but
more amorous oyster plßy on the word “bi
valve."
A Negro In die Jury Box.
Brooklyn enjoys the distinction, or what
ever else it may be called, ot being the first
city to put a nigto into the jury box. This
occurred about a week ago in the City Court.
It was a curious sight, and excited much
comment. But the colored citizen was a
property holder, and as such ei joyed the
right to vote, and of course to be u juryman.
The world moves!
Another Soldier’ll Fair.
Philadelphia is to have another great fair
for the benefit of the brave men who have
been brought home from the battlehjield
maimed, sick, helpless, hundreds of wlAtm,
shameful as it may be to record, are com
pelled to resort to begging to obtain a live
lihood. Good for Philadelphia. Toe idea
should become general, for as much good
can come out of it as from the great Sanitary
lairs of not long since.
Tile Deutli of (‘apt. Marshall,
tlie originator of the celebrated Liverpool
Blackball line of packets, has created a uni
ver.-al feeling of regret. All the Hags of the
shipping were at half-mast on the day of the
funeral, and appropriate notice of the sad
event was taken by the prominent-clubs and
societies. It is related that Capt. Marshall
had been a consistent and peisistent anti
slavery man since 18-’G, when he received
his first impressions of the institution Irom
seeing slaves flagellated and branded in the
Isle Os France.
City Railroad Conductor*.
An investigation by three _of the leading
city railroads of Philadelphia, fixed upon
one hundred and thirty of their employees
the guilt of appropriating the Company's
money. One hundred thpusaad dollars are
said to have been pocketed by these people
within a year or so. The drivers and stable
boyß. it is also said, extorted a good deal of
mi ney from tbe conductors, probably lor the
sake of keeping their tongues still. Every
body believes the same thing is done here on
a still greater stale.
Greeley on North Carolina.
It is well known that though a married
man, Mr. Greeley is not os favorable as many
others to the connubial system. Besides he
is considerable of a joker in his way, and
much given to badgering youthful Benedicks.
Occasionally he gets off a good thing, though
sometimes, as in tbe present case at bis own
expense, or rather at the expeuse of the esti
mable lady who is his wife. A young friend
of Greeley's who bad gome thought of going
to North Carolina to live, asked the philoso
pher one day for advice. “Young man,”
said Greely, "I married my wifi there, and
should not advise you to go." it is of course
unnecessary to state that Horace meant no
reflection upon bis better half.
Ghost*.
Over in Jersey City there hs« bsen o sen
sation kicked up by- an alleged haunted
church, which, after puzzling the mysteri
ously inclined people oi that burgh lor a
while, witb-its weird-like noises and ghostly
moans was at last proven to be haunted by
nothing more alarming than the watch Jog
of a resident of the neighborhood. Almost
a similar ease has occurred in I4lh street in
this city. This was not a church but a pri
vate house, ot neat and respectable appear
ance which was accused ot containing the
ghost, if not the skeleton, of a murdered
mau, ibe victim of a tragedy far excelling in
horror rlie famous Burdell murder. On in
vestigation, it proved there w:fs no ghost,
bad been no murder, and that the marks of
“blood,” found on the doors'eps, consisted
principally of lager beer, doubtless au ema
nation fiom the stomach of some drunken
fellow, who, in the unsteady condition of his
nether limbs, had sought me shelter of the
front stoop ot the house in question.—
"Ghosts” are at a discount in this vicinity.'’
The Laboring Classes.
The movement among the laboring classes
for the abridgement of the hour of labor to a
uniform standard of eight hours per day,
and for the promotions of this Qtate held a
Convention at Albany a few nays ago, whieh
revealed an organization large in numbers
and devoted to the purposes lor which it was
formed. Similar organiza ions exist in other
States, and it will be strange if they dauot
ultimately succeed. The best feature of the
matter is'the careful chewing of all political
aetion. and a strict, confinement to their busi
ness. Hitherto but liitle alter, tioo.has been paid
to movements ofihis kind by employers, lor
the local «ssociati#n9 worked quietly and
were hardly known outside of their own im
mediate circle. Their work, however, has
been thorough so far as it went, and the
formation ot regular State organizations will
give them, power if not. to compel an acquies
cence in their demands, at least to command
a proper attention on the part of capitalists
to the requirements of the laboring classes,
lor capital and labor should go hand iu hand.
The “Safe Deposit Company.”
One of the most useful institutions of late
years is the “Safe Deposit Company,” a
newly started affair, but one which is already
doing a large business. The *“ Safe Deposit
Company” has a charter from the Legisla
ture under which it guarantees the satiny ot
article* entrusted to its keeping to which its
business is limited, aud for which its charges
are required to be low. The concern is loca
ted in the fire proof building of the American
Bank Note Company on Broadway. A series
of smalt safes in one of the vaults is rented
to bankers and others, who have keys aud
have entrance thereto in the presence of at
tendants. Another safe for the storing of
government bonds can be entered only' by
the President and Secretary of tlit* Company.
Iu another safe, sealed packages can be de
posited, and iu still another silver plate, coin
and jewelry are stored. The Company give
a receipt which i3 a curiosity in its way (for
it describes the person making the deposit
minutely even to a small scar,) for the pro
petty', and guarantees its retnru or the pay
ment of its full value. The capital of the
Company is SOOO,OOO, and its stockholders
are liable to twice that amount. It i9 a very
excellent institution and w II doubtless be
imitated hi all tedious of the country.
The Pacific Railroad.
Just now we are inundated with English
men aud other foreigners interested in the
Atlnniie & Great Western Railroad. A large
crowd came over in the Scotia, a week or
more ago, und are now at the west viewing
their property, inspecting the oil district nud
enjoying themselves generally. At the head
of tiie party are James McHenry and Sir
Mo ton Peto. The former, through the in
strument ition of an able engineer, Mr. M.
Kinnuiid, constructed in war times the rail
toad named abova, in a shorter space of
time than such a thing had ever before oc
curred in this country. Sir Morton Is under
stood to have iu his employ, in various parts
of the world, uearly' or quite one huudred
thousand men, at work on the many railroads
in whose construction lie is interested. Mr.
McHenry is au American, who was lor many
years a prominent Liveipool merchant, and
who, during the financial panic of 1857, went
in the general wreck, but contrived to pav
all his debts. Oi e < f these, amounting to
$20,000, was actually paid twice through
j some trick ot the law. He then went to
j London with no money but a sterling char
acter. Entering heartily into Ibe Atlantic &
Gnat Western enterprise, his reputation
enabled him to raise in two or three years
twenty-five millions of dollars, and to build
seven hundred aud fifty miles of railroad,
connecting the Erie and the Ohio and Mis
sissippi roads. These gentlemen, with the
Marquis of Salamanca and others, are re
ported to now own a controlling interest in
the Erie load, the uuion of which with the
road they have constructed is but a matter
of u little time. The rare energy and ajility
they have displayed encourage the hope that
they will take hold of the Pacific Railroad.
Its construction within a reasonable period
could then be counted upon as a certainty.
I have reason to believe they think seriously
of the project, and shall fee I gratified to be
able to chronicle that they have taken hold
of it iu earnest.
Southern Migration.
An institution called the Southern Land
Company lias started an agency here, which
is already doing a Urge business in securing
emigrants to the Southern States uud selling
to tnose who are in a position to buy, eligi
ble lands in various parts of the South. Its
agents estimate the emigration of Northern
ers to the South this season at one hundred
thousand.
Our Insurance Companies
Are greatly exercised over their icceut loss
es—and well they may be Two fires have
occurred this week wuicli have alone called
upon them lor between two and three mil
linns of dollars,saying nothing of the minor
losses of tens of thousands by fires of lesser
note, They are discussing the risk which
actually exists in insuring goods in ware
houses They complain of the manner in
which our warehouses are constructed ; they
complain of the watchmen employed to
guard them, and last, though not least, they
complain of our new paid fire department.
This last complaint attracts much attention
from the fact that the Insurance Companies
were one of the main instruments by which
tlie system of our fire department was
changed. It is a fact, nevertheless. New
York i>as mfj'crcdsevtrely from fires since
the system was changed, and,yet, it
may liut be the result oi' the change
at all. The firemen have been prompt
ly on the ground and worked assidu
ously when tucre. But there are those who
claim that the duties of a fireman have to be
learned as much us any particular branch of
business, and that a slight mistake will re
sult most disatsiously. There is reason to
believe there is much truth in this, and there
may have been a great mistake made in
changing the system and putting tbe depart
ment in new bands. The change was called
fiir on economical, as well as other grounds.
Yet the estimates tot expenses greatly ex
ceeded those of former years. And if Ares
are to lake place which consume property at
the rate of halt a million and four millions
each, and that through the change, it is not
lobe wondered at it the Insurance Com
panies became greatly exercised.
IncorapabtUlity of Temperament,
between man and wife, is a sore perplexity.
The modern cure for it, as you know is (as
the fault is always on.the wife’s side) to send
the wile to a lunatic asylum. Such a crsc
lias recently occurred iu our sister City,
Brooklyn. For thirty years one of our mer
chants has suffered terribly (as be says) from
the vagarie* of a termagant nit'c, »nd a few
says since, under cover of takiug a pleasure

Those who are intimate with the family were
greatly surprised at the act, os in all their in

her insanity to her husband. There is a
veil hanging over the case as yet. If she is
not now insane, pel haps hert oiiliacment will
make her so, which may answer the pur
poses aimed at.
Our Amusement*
Ve patronized in a moft astonishing man
ner by the public, who seem to be never
w eary of haying their mental palates tickled
by good music and good acting. Tlte opera
opened on .Monday night lasi with Faust.
Miss Kellogg was the Marguerite, the
music ot which she rendered with exquisite
tenderness and expression. The new tenor,
Irfe, was ilu Faust, and though a lair artist,
is not to be compared with Mazz deni or
Brignoli. Autoriucci, the basso, took the
pail of Mephistopblvs with marked suc
cess, aud Bellini, tlte handsome baritone,
and an old favorite, was as much applauded
as ever. Maictzek segms to he in favor
with the public. .His conflict with the
Herald has given him anew hold on their
affections. By the way, the Herald, the
day alter the opening of the season, iu the
course ot au article on the theatrical season,
went out ot its way to call Maretzek a
“blackguard and liar.” This is all the re
p v that journal has yet made to the com
munications from Mtrelzek in some of the
other papers.
Madam Celeste, {he celebiated French ac
tress, recently made her appearance at the
Broadway in the “ Woman in Red," a play
somewhat resembliuir “Gamea.” She was
well received, the traditions of twelve years
since being in her favor, but her broken Eng
lish was a bar to such a success ns she has
achieved before audiences <>t her ow n country
men in her own language. The dumb parts site
used to play, such as the French Spy, etc.,
are much better suited to Iter before au
American audience. The opening of VVttl
lacks was the signal for a rush to ttiat capa
cious bouse. The company is better than
ever, its greatest addition that genuiuu
actor Mr E L. Davenport, Os course this
theatre has been crowded nightly and the
plays rendered have been put on the stage in
the usual carelul and meritorious manuer.
The other theatres are also doing well, ill
fact amusements were never better patronized
than at present, all look forward to long sea
| sons and plentifully filled exchequers.
The Ravels have come once more among
us, aud are drawing large and appreciative
audiences. Anew concert singer has also
appeared in Madame Parepa, a splendid
singer, weighing only 280 avordupois. She
is a daughter of the celebrated Mr. and Mrs.
Scguiu, who married an Italian nubleman who
is probably without ostensible means oi sup
port. The Madame is very much admired as
in a vocalist. Speaking of singers it is a
uotable fact, that the most popular opera
singers in Loudon and Paris are those who
have deservedly won, or worn out a reputa
tion herp. The most prominent is onr own
Patti, while Lagrange, Enssier Brignoli and
otlier9 are hardly less esteemed. Little Miss
Laura Harris will also soon have a European
reputation, second to none except perhaps
Patti. Taking a together America s ems to be
at the top of the heap in producing first class
singers. We have musicians in some ot our
church choirs far superior to the best Italy
can boast, and it will rot be many years ere
opera and concert managers will be able to en
tirely give up Europe as a place tor the selec
tion oi' their vocalists. So you see we are
having plenty of enjoyment.
Decay of Hi: on Head.
A correspondent of the New York Herald
wilting front Hilton Head, S. C., recently,
gives a striking view of the rapid decline
of Hilton Head in commercial aud naval
importance.
After two months’ absence from here a re
turn lor a brief visit makes striking to me
some changes which even that short time
has effected in the military headquarters of
the whole coast south of Wilmington.
Tlic harbor of Port Royal sxliibits the
most noticeable change. Nearly all the fleet
have left—the old South Atlantic squadron—
and - the hay contains only two or three
gunboats, among them the old three-decker
New Hampshire, four or five transports, a
few merchant schooners, one brig and per
haps a craft or two besides. A yea*- ago the
bristling masts ot Port Royal were visible far
out at sea, and the harbor was alive with
craft of every kind plying to and from,
while at night the lights of vessels of every
description illuminated the whole anchor
ing ground. This change, however, is not
so much an indication of the falling off of
commerce as the result ot the rapid reduc
tion of military and naval forces.
Hilton Head is duller than I have seen
it before since the capture ; but is still not
tbe dullest place I wot of, either North or
Sbnth It is still headquarters for many
merchants in South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, who had formed connections here
before the opening of more direct commercial
communications with their localities,and who
give much wholesale and jobbing patronage
to their old sellers. The local retail trade is j
confined largely to freedmen from Mitchel
ville and the surrounding plantations and
islands ; but it is partly kept up by several
hundred government employees and by gov
ernment trausports.
Some time since an order was issued for
bidding the erection of more buildings inside
ofthe fortifications, in view of tbe projection
of extensive government works. Hilton
Head will soon lose its commercial impor
tance, unless one of several railroad schemes
now under consideration, is carried out.
There are two principal projects—one for a
road from St. Helena, ou ibe opposite side
of the baibor, to connect with the Savannah
and Charleston road, whicli would make Hil
ton Head a soit of suburb ol the new city ;
and the other for a road from this island
across Skull creek, and the Savannah and
Charleston road, to the Georgia Central road.
Botli parlies are laboring for the roads- in
which they are respectfully interested very
earnestly. ’ Joseph IF Sears, Esq., of the
New South—one of the oldest- and most
prominent citizens—is one of the principal
workers for the Hilton Head line, and is con
fident of success. It is estimated that SIOO,-
000 will be all the capital required and claim
ed ; that investments will soon prove of al
most unprecedented profit. Whether either
road is built remains yet to be seen.
Excobt Pctv ox Cotton.—Thos. A- Dud
ley, Consul at Liverpool, is at Washington—
this being his first visit to the Capital since
the war of the rebellion commenced. Mr. j
Dudley had au interview with Secretary i
McCulloch. He represents that the foreign
importations this season will be enormous,
and urges tUe Secretary of the Treasury to
recommend toCungre-s an export duty on
cotton —claiming that the constitutional pro
hibition can be overcome by levying an in
ternal revenue duty ot three cents per pound,
with a drawback for home consumption,
which will not injure the home manufacture
but would apply only to that going abroad.
