In regard to the acceptance by Mexico of the
mediation of Frauoe and England in her quarrel
y;‘h Sp.tin, the Paris correipondent of the London
J uuee writing on the ‘Aid of Bep - ember, says :
* Oiieial inr exigence ha* been received of the ac
oepUfcßr e by the Mexican Government of the prof-
U t( o mediation of England and France in the quar
r* i b tween Mexico and Spain. The conference
n r the settlement of this matter is to be held in
L indon. This will probably not be very pleasing
to Spain, which would fain have had it fn Madrid.
T< a ‘npilal of one of the mediating nations is
mamfettJly the must suitable place. ]t is not yet

Cawnpork, July 18 —My own dearest brother—
I am the ouly individual saved among all the Euro
pean and Christian community that inhabited this
station. My poor dear wife, my darling sweet ohild
Polly, poor dear Rebecca ami her children, and poor
innocent children Lmmelina and Martha, ait also old
Mrs Frost and poor Mrs. Osborne, were all most In
humanly butchered by the cruel insurgents on the
day before yesterday, and thrown into a well, to
gether with a great number of ladies and chilren, re
ported to be about one hundred and fifty in number,
lam distracted. I am moat miserable aud wretched.
Ia u like one in a dream. You could uot recognize
me if you saw me. My life has been spared by a
miracle I ©scaped only yesterday from my misera
bit prison, where I have been confined with heavy
fetter* on my legs for twenty*fo M r days by the reb
els, who nearly rook away my life, but God alone
prevented them and spared me. ******
Every officer aud soldier, and every merchant,
writer, or Chiistian drummer, 4u\, that had gone
mto the entrenchments here under General Wheeler
ou the 1h of June has been killed. On the 24th of
.blue I was sent, cut as a “spy” on certain condi
tions, and, as l w.s dressed a* a common China
man, l was not killed . for I was taken priaoner al
inual soon ae I came ont of the entrenchment*.
After I came ont on the 21th, it appear* that the
\ t -bid Rnjab aeut a letter to our general on the day
after, offering to let him and all his people go to Al
lahabad, on condition that he wouki give up all hi*
treasure, ammunition, etc., and vacate Cawnpore
within three days. This as accepted by the gene
ral, and th© usual oaths were takeu that no treache
ry would b© used The Rrjab supplied twenty four
boats, and gave carriage to tbe riverside. Ou the
27rh oar people went ou board the boat*. (Oh, how
I *eu when ui Ov>ntinement, 1 heard that the English
were going in safety. 1 could i.ot keep my secret,
n n lold tbe Subadar o; the prison guard that I was
a Oirisuau, and nearly lest my life by this expo
sure, of which iroie hereafter.) but had not time to
tit© b Hts go. when the enemy fired cannon upon
X in. and upset some : other* they set fire to. Only
o* boat, 1 am told, managed to get away, but was
atVrwwrda picked up at a short distance aud brought
ba^ik.
About oue hundred and fifty women and chil
dren, and cue hundred European soldiers and ofli
of all classes were taken alive. The
tbruier were kept as prisoners up to the 16th July,
but tne mon, (among whom was our poor Daniel,)
had their baud* tied behind them, were killed with
swords at.dmusket*, and thrown into a ditch. The
Wonieu received parched grain for a few days, but
afterward# they got daii aud chupaties in small
quant ue*. Th# ia*otus have bad motives for
sparing the n so kmg. At the time of their beir g
murdered on the loth nsL.. 1 am lold that a number
jumped aHve into the well that was intended to re
| cti\• tbe ir corpse*, rather thau be butchered and
i:isiii; and -o unmercifully as the hard-hearted brutes
were using them. Oh i when I think of it how my
heart breaks. I get beside myself and wish I had
i)*-t b*-n soared hear of such dreadful accounts,
t ‘ mv near Polly! how’ must they have killed
you. S© sweet a child never existed. How will I
ever forgot you f The faces of ad I have lest are

Fram Calcutta,August , 1857.
From G. F. Edmohstohr, Esq., Secretary to th*
Government of India, to the Hon. Secret Com
mittee.
Gi*. HAVBr.ocs’s Cou/mr Gen. Havelock, af
ter pushing on halfway to Lucknow, and defeating
the insurgents two or three time* in the Oude pro
vince, waa compelled by the weakness of hi* force,
reduced by exposure, fatigue, sickness and constant
fighting, to withdraw to Mungutwar, six mile* from
the Ganges, and ultimately, on the 13th August, to
recross with all his force to Cawnpore, where he
now is.
His force is now reduced to 900 men, who are
worn out with fatigue, and need repose, and he con
siders that to advance on Lucknow until reinforced
would be to court annihilation.
Adequate reinforcements, it is feared, cannot
reach him iu less than ten days or a fortnight from
the present time.
No news later than 22d ut. from Lucknow, but
by more recent native account, the garrison were
holding out well, and it is believed that they have
managed to lay iu additional provisions.
Gen. Havelock expects to be attacked simulta
neously by the Muds (Oude) insurgent* from the
left bank of the river, as well as from the side of
Futtehpore, where boats were collecting, and from
the direction of Calipee, where the (Iwaliormuti
neers, strong in artillery, threatened to crus* and
form a junction with the Oude rebels. A steamer
has bf-en sent down by the General to destroy the
boats at Futtehpore, but his force is too weak to op
poee the passage of the Wumna (Jumna) at Cali
pee. The Oude people are making aggressions on
our villages to the North of the Ganges, and it is
feared that communication between Al.ahabad and
neves may be interrupted.
There appears to have been severe fighting at
Delhi on the 3Utb July. The Ist and 2d inet., when
the enemy reinforced by the troops from Neemuch
attempted to carry our position, they were repulsed
od usual; their loss is said to have exceedeu three
thousand men, including nine hundred of the Nee
much force, whb did not return to the city after the
failure on the Ist, and they are reported to be really
dispirited. On the Bth their powder manufactory
in the city wm blown up by a shell, and about 500
artificer* are believed to have been destroyed,
together with a large quantity of sulphur and salt
petre.
They have been for some time short of English
powder, and of fuims, and the supply of gun caps is
said to be failing; they daily manufacture powder
ot inferior quality. The Kumaon Battalion of
Ghoorkaa reached Delhi with treasure, ammunition

The revenue in the Puxyaub has been paid to the

The Ixtndon Times evidently regards (he Indian
news with gloomy apprehension. In it* issue of
Wednesday, September 00, it thus comments upon
some of the details, closing its remarks with admia
sious even more sombre respecting the general con
dition of the oountry, whinb for want of room we
omit to-day :
The additional particular* received by the For
eigu office, in the form of a despatch from the In
dian government to the Becrct comnrttee of the
East India Directors, threw new light on the state
of affairs. For the present, and for several weeks
more from the last date, we must make np our
minds to increasing difficulty, and the consequent
probability of fresh disasters in one quarter or an
other. Here and there the tide may be turned in
our favor. An heroic act, a desperate advance or
still more desperate defence, a brilliant victory, or
a miraculous relief, a timely panic in the foe or an
unkoped-for aid. may serve to ocnsole us for casual
ties of an opposite character. But when things are
pushed to the extreme, and everything every where
is staked on the cast of a die. we oannot expect the
chances to be always in our favor.
It is not Delhi that is now the chief point of anxie
ty Nor yet do Lie-know and Agra with their gallant
defenders,and their hundreds of women and chil
dren, monopolise interest. The whole tins of com
munication if threatened and disturbed. We nave
had to retreat, to surrender points which till lately
we were sure of holding, to detain reinforcements,
to provide against new danger*, and reduee onr
position to the least and most manageable nucleus
of dominion. All this, of course, is only foi a time.
Give us the single month of September—let ue tide
over thoee thirty days, and there is small cause of
fear. But it is terrible to think what may happen in
that interval —how much that is absolutely irremedi
able. Such is the distance that we are now almost
powerless spectators. Whethertbe British Govern
ment ta* done well or ill, It can do little mors. By
and bv we will venture to suggest what may be
done: but first for the anxious particulars before

It is much to be feared that General Havelock has

for the lossol manv valuable lives. At tkelaet date,

Lor dor, Sept. 90—12 M.—Bombay letters have

Th* Bombay Times of August Ist doe* not men

principal features contained in the papers have
been previously published. The Bombay Times
considers that tho intelligence a* certainly of a dis
astrous character.
A letter from Aboo, dated litli August, in tho
Poona Observer, mentions that the King of Delhi
offered to make terms with the Europeans on con
dition that 36 lakius of rupees annually, instead of
15 as heretofore, should be secured to him and his
successors. He was inform ad that nothing but an
unconditional surrender could be accepted.
A Meerut letter of the 10th of August, mentions

About 500 were seen crossing the Ganges at Gu

Sikh regiments for Delhi is rapidly progressing.
Th* mutineers atMauoelleerhnd been cut up. No
sympathy waa shown to tho rebels by the inhabi

The Bombay correspondent of the Times says that
“taking into consideration all that has occurred in

whether in Rajahfootana or in the Southern Mahratia
country, oue cannot but see that the discipline aud
loyalty of the Bombay army are slowly but surely
giving wav under strong tempations.
Let Delhi fall pretty quickly and w r e are safe;
but let there be a check or a disaster there or else
where, or even much delay, and I fear we (the

Two men. by the name of Hudson and Gofourth.
Sfut into a dispute, relative to charing the piooeede
of some gambiing transaction, conducted on joint
account. One called tbe other & liar, and mutual

shoot yon.’ Hudeon. as quick as thought, seised
the pisteL with one hauc and stabbed him with a
knife, killing him instantly.
The body of the murdered man and the murderer

exertions to avert such a result, the Company is

The exisiing derangement in the financial affairs
of the country surprised the Company with a large
floating debt incurred for the completion and equip

the usual credits fcceaine unavailable, an assess
meal of ten dollars pet share was promptly made,
anil upon this side of the Atlantie, largely paid in
advance, enabling the oompany to meet its engage

Ail other and usual modes of raising money are
well known to be entirely unavailable. It would

on the stock, as the same difficulties which prevent
the realising of the prroeedsof the one already
called, in season to meet ihc aocuing obligations
of the Company would attach to any further iwmss-

The Directors hav* therefore yielded to Hie Btern

All possible exertions will be usad to pay off eve

As this iias not arisen from any difficulties intrin

man, J. W. Corliss &• Cos., Corning & Cos , fl. A,
Coit, agent of the Havana firm of Drake & Cos.,
and J. N. Genin. TheKuspension of Messrs. Com

which says:—
We learn from official sources that in oongequece
of the delay in obtaining 1 omittances from the

A a meeting ot the bank officers held this d.iy at
the Clearing House, Thuma* Tileston was appoint
ed Chairman, aud Jamoa Gull&lin, Secretary, when
u motion tu* following resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted
Whereat There is no demand for specie upon tho
banks of Ui.. City for exportation, aiffi can be none
at present; but on the contrary, with the present
low rata of exchange, affording a.profit of from sev
en to teu percent, on its importation, there must be
a speedy influx of it from E iropo—for whether any
body hero can draw for it or not, iha inevitable laws
of trade must ku obeyed—and specie wid com© to
the point of greatest demand.
Aud Whereas, All- demands for specie upon the
bunks of this city from the interior, so far as they
could arise from natural causes, Lave already been
met.
Aud WturfiGs, The*x< hanges with every part of
the country are m favor of New York, creating?a
current of specie toarwd it. for tho payment of debts
and the purchase of goods.
And Whereas, W* nr* iu tho semi-monthly re
ceipt of iarge accessions of gold from California
sent here for the payment of debts;
And Whereas, The United States Treasury is
rapidly disbu sing com in the public expenditure,
and for tho rede motion of the public debt;
Avd Whereas, In this stale of things, every natu
rnl mid healthy tendency is to accumulate specie in
I lie banks, and to enable them to diffuse it through
out the country, as the basis of credits, by which
the abundant crops, Providence ha* given more
bountifully than ever, may be brought to market,
confidence may revive, the circulation of commo
dities be resumed, the internal exchanges restored,
the wheels of industry be set iu motion, and employ
ment once more be given to labor;
And Whereas , In the judgment of this meeting,
there exists, at the present time, no obstacle what
ever to the accomplishment of objects so desirable,
unless it be in an unfounded and unnecessary alarm
winch keeps specie from its natural uses, and trom
performing its appropriate functions.
Therefore, Resolved , That the hanks of the oily
of New York are determined, at all hazards and-un
der ad circumstances, to perform their duty to the
country, aud all its great interests, in the mainte
nance of specie payment*, and tnat all classes of the
community should sustain them in carrying cut this
determination.
Resolved , That in tho judgment of this meeting,
even for this object, no further contraction of loans
is necessary, nor will there exist any obstacle to such
an expansion of them, as will afford the necessary
aid to bring forward the crops, and alleviate the pre
sent commercial distress, unless it shall he created
b;t/ the demands of a causeless alarm. October 12th,
1857. T. Tileston, Chairman.
Jar. Gallatin, Secretary.
The exchanges at the clearing bouse this morning
were $13,873,675 45, and the balances paid $892,-

A report was current this morning that the Erie
Rail Road has resumed payment in full. This uews
was too good to be true. The comp&oy continue to
pay their interest coupons and small debt but will

tised in our columns before taking any further de
cisive action.
A meeting of the stockholders and bondholders of

Things in New York.
A letter from New York, alludiug to the aspect
of things there Saturday evening, says :
*‘A great many workmen, mechanics and clerks,
as they got. their weeks wages, were discharged.—
The New York Hemp Company's factory in East
Brooklyn, which employ a over 400 hands and has
beeu running on short time, stopped altogether last
week. Ore well acquainted wth the cigar manu
facture in the city, give* it as his opinion that 3,900
cigar-makers aro now thrown out of employment.
The stevedores and ’long-shoremen are almost en
tirely unemployed. A lung aud solemn striug of
idle carts aud cartmen wa? visible on Saturday
along South street, where they aro generally busi
est. About two thirds of the journey men in the job
and book printing ofEcrs have been also turned off.
Th© same may be said of tho book binders, hat and
cap maker*, aress makers and other occupations.
This ia the result of necessity, as their employers
do not realise money enough” to pay their weekly
solarise.
“Men stand on the corners in groups discussing
the eventa oi the day, and speculating upon tho
probabilities of a change for the better or the worse,
it is agreed on all hands that a dreadful winter is
before us, aud unless something be done at once to
relieve tho wauts of the mechanics aud working
people thrown out of work, there is room fo/the
most serious apprehension*.
“No lees thau 2,150 girls have been thrown out
of employment in a single branch of business in
this city, the cloak trad©. The ruspeneiou of the
hat bazaar houses of Jup. N. Geniu, will also cause
tho discharge cf several hundred per ou*—Mr. G.
having between five or six hundred in his employ.”
Several of the manufacturing est&blisbmmtft tn

We saw yesterday, for the firrt time, a handsome
private equipage, driven bjta “colored pereon” to

side of each horse. Tcere are mor- carriages and
horses in this city for sale to-day than were ever in

The Earthquake at Bf. Louis.
t The toiegraph ha* a;ready recorded the fact that
< two shook* of an earthquake were felt at St. Louis
and vicinity a 1 tiller after four o’clock on Thursday’
I m>r It appears from the papers x>f that
j oify that one of them was very violent. The Demo ,
orat ha* the following parfcienlani:
The first premonition is said to hav* been given i
t>y a aught concussion about midnight, but at the I
tun* stated those who ware awake hoard a low aud 1
distant rumbling, which failed to arouse attention ‘
tiil it lapid.y increased to the volume of the sound of
liteavy trains of cars thundering through every .-treet
o’ thr ciy Some Fk th© noise to n reverberating
explosion, pikers to the roar of a whirlwind, others
lo (ti© mere passing of market wagons—but all
ogre© that it was trememdous. When at its height
the j addings began to rock appallingly. Thou
eanda sprang from their beds in aiarar, and rushed
lute the street. Th© northern sky was clear, but
irem the southward a heavy misi was swiftly ad
vancing. and in a moment nearly obeoured the street
lamps. Iu many instances the lamps were iu an in
stant unaccountably extinguished. The violent
shook lasted full three-fourths of a minute and was
instantly succeeded by a second soar aud attendant
s.iqok ot less severity. Many describe both as one,
aud aver that the heavy shock lasted full three min
Uwcs. *ll about five minutes afterwards the noise
H ‘t, Qoucuseion were repeated with comparative
mildness,but very perceptibly.
We oouvwrsed with many on the occurrence, and
the.r statements, of course various, attest and cor
roborate the above. A citizen living on Gracist
and Fourth streets, iu a heavily built house, whose
wul s are oi eighteen inches thickness, and who was
sleeping on tho first floor, describes tho shock as
excessively violent, aud tue motion as a horisoutal
vibration from east to west. A mirror hanging on
north and south wall, Rwayed from aud towards
the wall, through an arc of several inches. He rau
into the street, expecting the fall, If not of his own
house, of a frailer wall near, and found a dense fog
swiftly rolling from the southward, and shortly en
veloped everything.
Au intelligent gentleman, living ou Centre, be
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth sireets, states
that the 1 eavy lumbling, as if by a host of 00a!
wagons, proceeded from the southward, that things
shook from north to south, and with an appalling
violence, and thew a dense mist appeared, and in
ten minutes occurred another shock, the aooompa
nyiug noise beariug more from the eastward. A
well known physician in this vicinity was affrighted
at nearing the brick walls of his residence positively
cracking aud snapping around him.
©re apprised that a slight shook was felt on
Mouday, the court-house being perceptibly jarred,
though no vehicle was at the time passing.
Another gentleman living within sixty feet of the
Pacific. Mills, avers tnat during the noise just pre
ceding the shock, the loud din usually made by the
engine and stone at the mills could no longer be
heard. The course of the noise seemed to him from
the eouthwestward Immediately his doors and
windows were so violently shaken that he at first
imagined burglars were entering—an illusion also
experienced by many other*.
At th© city hall, which is deemed a frail structure,
the officers ran out of tbe police office, fearing that
it would fail. The watchman at tho Mechanics’
Bank, on Chesnutstreet, fled from beneath itswalls,
which he found vibrating fearfully.
A member of the night polio© was about returning
home, when he was startled by tho sound as of a
heavy and prolonged “xplosion, and instantly felt
himself being heaved by the ground, aud nearly
tripped from his feet. The concussion appeared to
proceed from the eastward, and as if it began on tho
Illinois shore, an 9 then orosting the river paswed off
to the northward, reverberating like a deafening
thunderclap.
A wa ebrnnn on Franklin avenue and Sixteenth
street, spates that with the noise h felt tho ground
undulate with a motion so long aud heavy as caused
him to stagger several ieet before recovering his
balance. The spring boards iu the lumber yards
near wer* atonce iu noisy motion, and so continued
for some moments after the last shock. Immedi
ately houses weie lighted aud people were rushing
into the street.
Os course, more or Iprs damage must have occur
red to weak walls, and many breakages of crook©
ry, glassware. &o. An instance is furnished at the
Mi**< uri Exchange, kept by A. B. Jone3, on Com
mercial alloy and Walnut street. Some dosen
glasses and decanters were thrown front shelve*
running nprth and south, and broken.
A gentleman from Bridgeton, fourteen miles
from the eity, says that the shock th re was also ex
cessively violent, and that the motion was an uiidu
laiiug one, accompanied with vortical vibrations of
the earth.
The river, of course, was not exempt from the
commotion. Waves several feet in height aro said
to have suddenly risen and dashed upon the banks,
receding and again returning.
Mr. Kmixor, living out on th* M*iamoo river,
states that between the shock* he saw a meteor as
large as the full moon, aud very brilliant K shoot
across the sky from south to north, accompanied with
a roaring, crackling Round, aud disappearing witli a
loud explosion.
The narrow five story building erected by Mr
Bafkedalo, on the corner of Vine and Fifth streets,
was rocked to and fro with alarming violence. It*
rooms ar mostly occupied by youug men for sleep
ing apartments, aud the way they tumbled down
the several IlighU of stairs was said by these who
witnessed the scene to have been both ludicrous and
fearful. One of the sleepers asserts that the vibra
tions of the top of the building could not have boen
leas than a foot.
All over the city, immediately after tbe first shock
the windows aud doors of the houses were thrown
open, and great numbers of the people rushed into
the streets. The dogs barked and ran howling away
from the rumbl ng as it, approached. The perdu
luma of many clocks were stopped, and many eiti
sous statu that on going out iuto tho air they found
a great, difficulty iu respiration.
We are informed by a physician that a lady of his
acquaintance, upon being awakened by tbe shaking
♦f tier bed, supposed that a burglar was under it,
and forthwith jumped out and cried for help.
A gentleman in Illinois, who wa* returning to
Louis, when some miles from the ferry, reports that
the earthquake waa accompanied with vivid light
ning and loud thunder, and that tho animals were
ho much alarmed that tLey added their lament©
tiona to those of the people, who were iu great ter
ror, and believed that the day of doom was at hand.
It appears, that fiom all wo hear from our sister
State, that the shock came from the southern part,
which is highly probable.
The St. Louis Republican says the evening of
Wednesday was calm and tho moon reflected extra
ordinary brilliancy upon the city. Towards night a
slight humidity gathered over the city, and later this
increased to a dense fog. It corroborates the ac
count in the Democrat, and adds :
VVe have not yet heard of any g r eal amount of
actual damage done. Some few small articles were
broken iu many houses by fa ling. A three-story
hous2 occupied by Mr. Landry, ou Wash street, was
cracked from top to bottom. Bells were rung in
several houses, as for instance in that of Mr. Me
Pheetere. Over the adjoining legious of Illinois
and those portions of the State lying contiguous to
Si. Louis it ip certain that the commotion was not
Jess severe than it was in this city. In Illinois it
was accompanied by a tempestuous sky and elec
trical phenomena of an unusual character; while
with us it was preceded by freaks ot electricity,
variously described as vivid flashes of lightning ana
as the descent of a blinding meteoric ball from the
heavens.
The St Louis Lodger says :—Earthquakes, if we
may believe th© history of the rooks, have been no
unusual things in this vicinity in ages past. And,
not to go back to antiquity, many ot our oldest citi
■ons well remember the terrible earthquake that
occurred at New Madrid in 1811, when that village
was partially destroyed, and a large section of that
part of the State sunk and submerged, rendering an
act of Congress necessary to grant other lands to
th© settlers in place of those that were destroyed
For many years after the oocurrenoe the inhabitants
experienced violent shocks periodically, and emi
grants were afraid to settle in that, quarter.
From the Charleston Standard, oj Wednesday
Tbe Progress of th© Money C'riei*.
When we announced, yesterday, the suspension
of the Rtflrdad Bank, and the Bank of South Caro
lina, we little thought that any of the other Barks
in Charleston would bo soon follow them. But our
anticipations have not been realised. Yesterday
the run of the previous day was followed up, and laet
os the tide commenced, tho Peoples* Bank waa 00m
pelled to yield to the pressure and suspend. The
immediate cause was a draft npon it by the Bank of
Newberry for $22,000 in specie. Tho termer Bank
was the Charleston agent of the latter, and the bal
ance in favor of the Newberry Bank wa* tne above
amount. As the Peoples’ Bank had received no in
‘Juration that the Biuk of Newberry intended to
draw its balance in Hpecie—that was not one
one of the contingencies calculated on in the effort
to stand up against the city run upon it. Finding
flself unable to meet this sudden demand and also
tho constant daily demand which waa present and
pressing, it immediately suspended, and the balance
to the Bank of Newberry remained unpaid. After
this, the run upon the other Banks continued, they
paying every demand for spec*.©, and keeping open
fo r that purpose until a late hour in the afternoon.
Thus far they have sustained themselves and their
customers. None of our merchants have failed from
the pressUi©,’ and this remarkable indication of gen
era’ iouudnesa lend* abundant hope for the future.
But how long can they stand it ? The policy of
the New York and other Northern banks, has
caused immense failures of houses that were well
known to be staunch and sound, under any ordinary
circmitftancee. Some of the houses that failed had
a surplus Uo&r to or exceeding a million. Some bad
a wurpius of capital and net profits In their bu>mi©Aa
equal to nearly the whole of their liabilities, and yet.
tuoy Lave gone down under th© pressure. The
New York banks permitted them to fall, under the
supposed necessity of siL-itaining themselves in npe
(**.- payments. But what avails them to sustain
payment* now, if they sink their own capi
tal, i a the ruin of their debtors 1 Many a merchant
there, could easily have paid in full, if he bad been
sueLained by timely aid, who now may never pay
the banks fifty per cent. One failure there, brougot
on another, and so the circle widened, and wbiens
still, untii no oue know* what shall be the extent of
its diameter. It might have been checked by a
lew timid policy on the part of tb© New York bank*
Had they risk ed more in the beginning, there would
not have been one hundredth part of the risk in the
enUng. Their very exiracrainary preparations to
Stand the storm, got up & wilder fury than they
dreamed of
And now wha* shall our bank* do 7 They say that
they can and mill maintain specie payment. Is the
determination a wise one? None ot their debtors
bave yet failed. They are generally solvent, if aid
ed in this pressure, Nealy all that is due to our
b&i.as will be paid iu full, if the debtors ean go
on to buy and sell as in ordinary tune*. The biT-a
of suspended L-auke wotud enable them to do this
if all oar bank* w ere suspended For all home
purposes these bills would be received a* readily
asgoW For all foreign demands our crop would j
soon supply ample mean* of payment Unless that
crop can be forwarded to market soon, those means
wi.l diminish more and more every day Bank
• bills would buy it here, and when sold abroad it
would soon bring back the specie or its equivalent
iu the mean* to pay foreign debts. The planter
would then get full value for his products aud the
merchant wouhl have bieathing time to ooliccl trie
asses and pay uis liabilities. Gradually confidence
would be restored, exchange of product* would go
on a* before, aud the whole country now distressed
and panic-strikes in the midst of abundance, would
open it* eye* to its madness and folly, and learn to
be wise in future.
But if a few back* at the South resolved to sus
tain themselves at all hazards , if following the ex
ample of New York, they go in more and more to
oontraet their circulation, then it is manifest that the
gold in this country cannot suffice for the circulation
it needs . hundred*, yea thou (and* of solvent mer

If we will drive it, when many of them are broken

1 The editor of the Chicago Times, having been on
{ the North side of imU city to see A friend, was re
j centiy prevented firm reaching his home, in cocse
’ que ue© of a steam tng having passed up the riv. r
• wirh a small fleet of vrs*ei* in tow, one of \vh ‘-h had
j been oast ofl* and hauled in just Wodt of the bridge,
J leaving the “draw’’ still open. While waiting he
I witneuid th© following scene -
Th* vessel w have mentioned was moored or
made fast out ski o of several canal boats; and as w©
I stood lookiug at the men upon her, oue of them ap
proached a female, who had been crouched upon
deck, and addressing her.jiomfed to the short . then
to th* bridge wild then down toward the thronged
and busy streets ot living, moving, headlong Chi
cago She picked up a small bundle, from
which she drew forth a coin which she tendered to
the hardy sailor. ll© refused it, whatever it wa-.
and lending her a hand, helped her from tiie vessel
to the dock up to the bridge. By this time a large
crowd of pereons turouged the North end of wher*
the bridge would be it it iyire always a bridge; and
in contemplating ihe new Tact*, arid the rein, ten
tative* of the various cisase* there assembled we
had almost forgotten tire Incident we have relate©.
Our attention waa called from the vain endeavor to
discover some cessation of tugs going rip and down,
and brigs and schooners pulling iu aud out, by
hearing a most audible boh from some oue near us
It was not tiie sob of childhood, caused by ***uae
suddeu chang- ofgayety to grief: it wa* the ob ot
some matured breast, filled with a sensd of loneii
ness and despair. It reached other ears than ours.
A lady dressed in a manner xvhioh bespoke a
wealth that could gratify taste and elegance, and
who like onrselve.-q was detained at that place,
stood near, accompanied by three children, whose
desire to get at- the extreme edge of tho platform,
she with difficulty repressed. With a woman's
tenderness her heart recognised the stifled ebulli
tion ot sorrow, and approaching the person from
whom it came, who was none other than th* other
woman we had just seen land from her vessel, ehe
quietly, aud in that soft sweet voice* of woman
which none can resist, inquired ii she stood in need
or was she ill or whs ber sorrow such that she could
uot bo relieved. A portion cf tb© rriiing near us
was vacant, and t<>wards that and almost at our
bide these two women came to converse. The
stranger was a fair, handsome girl, of about saveu
teen years; neatly but coarsely dressed, with shoes
not only well worn but heavy, and unsuited as
much for her sex as for the season. The poor girl,
in honest simplicity, aud with an earnestness which
despair alone caii impart, related her history,
uninterrupted by a single observation from her com
panion, but often accompanied by the team of
both. We have not apace for it at length, but we
will give it, changing its order just enough to enable
us tostatc it briefly.
She said she was born in Boston , she had no
brother or sister now ; she remembered that she had
a sister, the oldest whose name was Lizxie; that
sister years ago against her father’s will W*d mar
ried, and with her husband having been banished
from her father's sight, had gone off and had uot
been heard of ainee— no d.. u bt, dead. At the time
ot her sister Remarriage her parent* wore wealthy
ihe pride which drove away L s*ie had brought
silent regret, and after a while came inelancLoly
oomplaiumgs by the mother’s sighing for the eni
brace ot her first-born. These soon led to anger
and crimination at home, and dissipation by the
father abroad. Losses came upon them, and at last
gathering tho few remaining goods they left the
proud city of their birth, and setled five yew ago
upon the land purchased of ike Government iu\Yi.'-
oonsin. Her brothers, some older and some younger
than herself, one by one drooped an i died; and
soon the mother, calling hi agony upon her long exil
ed daughter joined her boys In a happier clime.—
None now lett but the father and this peer
girl He too humbled aud stricken by the
slow biff certain disease which light* up the cheek
and tir-ratheeyo with tho brilliancy of healib, oven
when its victim is on the oonfiiu sos eternity.
He wouid sit and fell 10 his surviving child tho
aols of winning love and sacrificing devotion winch
had made his Lis 3l© tho very object of h s life. Ho
would talk of her sweet smiles happy disposition,
until memory would lead him u thonour w :©o liu
bid her to depart, ami not lei him see her face again
Hi* decline waa rapid, and his lone child sew the
flowers which the warmth of Bprng had called
from the *oii of her mother’* grave disturoed, up
rooted and thrown aside, that his saLes might
mingle with those of th© mother of his children
At. his death he charged her to pay ofl, as far a*
she might bo able, the debt*inclined to procure the
necessaries of life. The land, which from w ant of
culture, had not iu value, waa Bold and
left her but a few dollars. These she expended in
rearing some boards to mark the spot where she
had seeu buried, one after another her belovad
kindred She had heard of Cnuago. She had
hoard that iu this city there were officer wher©
strangers wishing employ me; l could fi ad work.—
She had on foot travelled many miles, until she
reached Milwaukee, and thence by the kindness of
a poor sailor, who had seen hoi day after day, on
the dock, Watching tho steamers part, bad inquired
and ascertained that she wished to com* h.ther
but had not th* money, lie brought her to China
go on his own vessel, and had told her that by
crossing tho bridge aho could find one of those
places where situations were given to worthy &p
plicant*.
Such wa* ber story. She bad mentioned uo name
except that of father mother, and the venr endear
ing appellation* of brother George, Willie, &o.
Both of the women wore crying bitterly. Tho fash
ionably dressed lady turned her face towards the
river, that her tears at such a crowded and unusual
place might not bo observed. Sim requested us to
take her two boys—George and Willio she called
them—by tho hand, to keep them from danger, and
then putting her hand around the neck of tho poor
wandering orphan slrauger. said ;
“ You are, my own sister. lam Li-xzieT
These two beings, ohildron of tho sain* parent*
how different have been their pallia, and how deep
their sufferings 1 We have aeon them togetfcoi iu
“Lizzie’s ’ carriage driving along Lake street. They
are doubtless as happy as their bereavements,
relieved only by the couaoiousneov of duty faithful
ly performed, can permit. But while the sufferings
of the father aud mother may be faintly known
from tho story of the daughter, what must have
been the mental agony of that other daughter un
kindly banished from her mother-’* side, and driven
out into the world without a fa'her’a bief.-ing?
What must have been hoi grief when hrr letter*
written from a prosperous oily, from her house ot
her wealthy end kind husbaud, telling t hem of her
success and the birth of her children, were unnotic
ed and unanswered ? She mus r . have felt indeed
that the hearts of that father and mother, her
sisters aud brothers, must have been hardened
against her. Wo wiil say no more. That scone
will live in oiir memory while we can remember
the holy love of a father, mother and kindred.
Alabama Copper Mire*.—A few day* since,

Mr. V 7., in me locality, Cuds the yellow sulpliuret

Within r day or two, Mr. V&uzandt will le&va for
