An Extraordinary Bank Failure.— The fail
ure of the Western Bi vk of G'.a*oow, Scotland,
l a* spread unparalleled ruin throoghut that city.—
Thirteen hundred families held investments in the
concern, which in many constituted the sole
dependence of aged prof, ssional men, widows and
orphan daughters. The total paid up capital was
equal so $7,5iU,(M10. When the stoppage occurred
il was soon seen that the whole ot that property
was swept away, and that those who had nothing
else would be reduced to destitution. It was hoped
however, that this would be the worst. In a little
farther time it transpired that there would be a de
ficiency ot $1,500,000, in addition to the loss of the
whole capital A call of $125 per share was accord
ingly euforced on all who had anything left. This
was dually paul in J une last. A lull then intervened
and it was supposed that if there should happen to
be any further call, it would be light Complete as
tonishmont was therefore felt on theTthinaf, when
i was announced that the deficiency, instead of
being sl,s'M),ot)o, had proven to ba $7,000,000, and
l that upon each share a fresh payment of SSOO
would he r<q li.ed within 24 days.
A large proportion of the stockholders having
been already ruined, the number ot those abie to
respond is 1 mi ed, and it is calculated that of the
thirteen hundred not more than one buna rad £jid
ti ty will uUjjna'ely have any property left. Many
of tne suff 2reu 44V0 died,[some nave become insane,
children have been thrown on tin charity of frieuds
and straug r, and there i eoaroely a family in the
district which i* uot to somepxten£afii cted. One

1 A Cruel Fraud—During a recent week, 1314
i emigrants were funded at Castle Garden. This
j makes a fotai for the year of t*.5.530. At the last

that forged notes, purporting to be or. American
: B \ck?. are frequently passed off on unsuspecting
‘ emigrants, in eichucge for foreign currency. These
■ counterfoils !re uot up in New York, and sent to
Europe tor this fraudulent purpose. Specimens of
these notes were produced, aud the names of the
j swindlers signified. They should be published

1 taehmenu of loJian* bad for ten days before the ,
I fight, been watching and annoying the troops, but :
when par* red would retire beyond reach.
On the 31et. of August, a par.y fired the gran in
the rear of the train, wh.le the column was on the ;
march, and unde - cover of the em r ke made an attack,
but the rap if deployment of the troops prevent ed
the accomplishment of any object. Small parties
were kept m sight only to deceive the troops with
regard to their strength. They had prepared a
strong position for attack with their whole force
about a mile from the camp of the troops, on the
line of their supposed route in advancing on the
Ist September, where the trail passes through a de
file. . ,
On the morning of the Ist, the parties of the ene
my on the hill increased in number, and expecting
the troc.pi to be decoyed into the amoueoade, they
were dtfiint and insolent, and invited attack.—
Little delay was had. Col. Wright advanced upon
them with pome three hundred and twenty troops,
artillery, infantry and dragoons, with one howitzer,
and drove the partis* from the hills. Here he found
the mam position of the enemy to be on the plains
and in the brush cover below.
Dispositions for the engagement were speedily’
and skillfully taken. The dragoons having first
reached view of the enemy, engaged them, and w ith
effect, until tb - foot troops eou'.u be brought up to
drive the enemy into ft position where the horses
could be used. On reaemn/ the ground, the rot
troops, 3d Artillery and the 9tb Iniantry, were de
ployed, and ordered to drive the enemy from the
cover This they did in gallant style, and with Buch
impetuosity that the Indians at once broke for the
plains, and for other shelter. On reaching favora
ble ground, the dragoons charged handsomely
through the deployed intervals of the light troops
and completed the route of the enemy.
When again the Indians gained a temporary
shelter, where the mounted troops could not reach
them, the foot troops charged them, and drove them
ont; until finally the Indians fled beyond pursuit
The mountain howitzer was used to good effect, and
aided inaieria ly in driving the enemy from cover.
The reeeDt improvements in fire arms (the rifling of
the market and the use of ;be elongated ball) eua
bled tbe troops to reach the enemy at ra. geß hither
to not effective.
Tue insolent savages have thus received a severe
deleat, in a lair open encounter, with their best war
riora engaged, with numbers they deemed suffi
cient, upon groxnd the most favorable andot their
own selection. The number of warriors killed, as
far as seen, was seventeen ; among them one Chief.
More must have fallen, who, according to Indian
custom, were instantly dragged from the field. A
large number have bean wounded. The troops lost
not one, nor was there, notwithstanding the hot tire
of the enemy, a man Wounded.
The troop , officers and men, behaved themselves
handsomely. Tne battle was regularly and skill
fully fought in a manner only to be expected of
troops acquainted with their vocation. Col. Wright
handled ibe troops well, and displayed marked
ability as a commander.
The troops were to advance on the sth Septem
ber to find Ihe enemy, if possible, at the Spokan
river. Hard marches from Snake river to Four
Lakes bad fatigued the pack animals and troops,
and a few days’ rest was indispensable. What will
be tbe character of future operations cannot be
foretold.
It is said that Col. Wright had captured two noted
hostile chief*, and had them promptly shot. There
was no tign of the war coming to a speedy close.
A b ldier belonging to tbe garrison at Fort Steila
coom had been tried for tbe murder of an Indian,
and acquitted by tbe jury. The Indians, however,
cousideied that the soldier was really guilty, and
begau to grumble Upon this, the garrison made
them a present of #lllO, with which they were satis
fied.
Later from The Indian Country. —Mr. Pier
eon, says the Shasta Republic, left Fort Vancou
ver, Washington Territory, on the 24tb September,
with Government dispatches, and arrived here
yesterday. The despatches are from Col. Wright,
and contain an cfiieia! account of his late gallant
defeat ot the Indians at the Four Lakes.
In addition to the news of the battle, Mr. P.
states that nine hundre i Imad of horses were cap
tured from the Indians. lie also states that the
Indians in that section of our Northern Territories
have been completely discouraged and dismayed
since tbe late battle. The ooncerted movements of
the various tribes have been broken up and de
stroyed.
From Syria.—The Jaffa Outrage.—Still
Another Outrage upon an English Lady.—A
letter jnat received fronj Beirut, bearing date o

“ There is no truth about Moslem disturbances at
Tripoli and Lattakia.
“ Tne trial of the Jaffa murderers was continued
in Beirut, and the Jaffa mej.it (or council) w.th
witnesses, to the number of sixty, were obliged to
come on here. Mr. Peters, the Vice-Consul, sent
on from Constantinople by our Minister there,
pressed the business quite euorge ically before the
arrival of our new Consul, Mr. Barclay. Since he
came he has been forcing matters on to a crisis with
equal if not greater determination.
“ Five men, convicted by the Jaffa mejlis, were
brought up from that plaoe, but only one of them,
on examination, could be proved to have any par
ticipation in the affair. After cioss-examinaliun
the mejln, however, for several days, new discov
eries were made, and a few days since two of the
real murderers were lodged in the Beirut jail. Two
more have been taken and are at Jaffa, and ilr.
Barclay has gone down with twenty soldiers to
bring them up. The fifth is known, and nflioers of
justice are on his trail. We hope soon to see jus
tice take its course.
“ Another sad affair occurred near- Jerusalem
about a lortnight. since. An English lady, spending
the Summer in tents with the family of Mr. Finn,
the English consul, started to go alone to Jerusa
lem. Nothing was heard of her till a few dayß af
ter, when her body was found by the roadside,
bearing marks of vilest abuse, and torn by wild
beasts The matter is being examined into. All
the ahcilchs (or petty rulers) of the vicinity have
been imprisoned. Some natives who have been ex
amined say that they saw two fillaheen (the lowest
class of tillers of the soil,) with her.”

From Cuba. —The steamer Isabel, from Havana
qu the 25th iust., arrived at Charleston yesterday.
From the Cotfrjer we copy the following condensed
report of the news i
A pan of the Spanish squadron destined for Tam
pico, sailed from Havana on the 25th iust. There
is daily expected from Spain a large squadron with
tioec thousand troops ou board, reported to be for
Mexico.
The Spanish jrs Pdayo and Mexico cleared
and sailed from Havana,'os the 221 inst., !br New
Orleans, to tow the Dry Dock tq Havana, for a
Stock Company there. Tie Dock is much larger
than any that they have at New Orleans. Business
at Havana was. at the latest dates, dull, aud no
freights were t jierirg.
The barque 4rdcnnef— which was de
tained for suspicion, $s we learned by the Cahawba
—was atiil detained, and we orp informed tfiat the
United Sta.ee Consul had positive proof for his pro
ceeainge.
The prospect o! war with Mexico had spoiled
seme continued diaeuseicn and attention at Havana
in consequencs of the movements cf Spanish ves
sels of ar as previously reported. It will be seen
that another is given for these appa
rently warlike raoyeujeptg. The inquisition in the
tnpUer of the great explosion of tha *'!*th Septem

victims perwlie-j from starvation while imprisoned
in the rums. There were complaints as to ineffi

Pikes Peak—Latest Arrival frch the
Mines— F;ni Specimens of Gold. —From tne
Leavenworth Journal, of the 15th, we learn that
Mr. Philip Peers, a gentleman who had been in the
iiocky Mountains for tfce last four years, has just
arrived in that city, direc* from the Piko s Peak
mines, bringing witn him tine specimens of gold ob
tained in the diggings. Mr. Peers corroborates tfce
statements we have heretofore published, and
brii g with him incontestible evidence of tbe exis
tence of tha ** precious metal ’ in that region.
The richest “ diggings” yet discovered are ou the
.South Platte, about three miles above Cherry
Creek. The eurfaeo of the'country at this point is
rolling pi aide.
The iniaeis informed Mr. Peers that they were
making !rr. three to four do.lars per day. They
were uot, however, devoting much attention to
mining bnt were preparing for winter. It woe the
intention of a portion of tnem to retire into the val
ley, some sixty miles below the mines, and remain
there ti'l spring. Thsy were generally very weh
provided.
Snow had fallen on the manntams fcefire Mr.
Peers left.
The miners are sanguine that the mines will pay.
It is be ieTed that they are as rich as the California
mine?
Tbe gold in thp possession of our informant is very
tiyp tsey ‘ ir.y turds, we shon-d think, and his
experience in the California mines and laxiiiarity
wi*h the production, justifies the conclusion.
Guite a large tmmner of emigrants v.ere mot on
the way, destined for the gold region. Mr. Peers
thinks it is too late in tbe season to venture there,
but expresses entire confidence in the mines.— Sl.

Tlio Primer River Gold Mines.
The advices by the recont California mail from
the region of the Frazer river mines are from Victo
ria- September 26, aud Fort Yale September 24.
According to the San Francisco papers, the news is
considered unfavorable. The San Francisco Bulle
tin *aye:
The news from the mining regin is considered
unfavorable, and has had a very depressing effect
upon Victoria and the many “projected * great
cities. Whatcom has incontinently “driedup.,”
and most of tho other places ou the main laud have
followed its example. Victoria, being the seat of
tho Hudson’s 15ay Company’s government, as well
as that of the colony of Vancouver, of course can
not entirely go down ; but it has, of late, rapidly re
ceded. In the meantime, we may say, that it ap
parently suffers more under the li lbienceofa sud
den panic than by any well established evidence of
the worthlessness of the Fraser river mines.
The waters of tbe Fraser have at last fallen, ar.d
all those having claims are at work. From the best
evidence at our cominaud, we era led to believe
that such are doing remarkably well. But th tse
possessing claims are a very small portion of the
miners. The greater number aro without claims,
aud all the rich ground yet discovered being taken
up, they have become disgusted, and are fast re
turning to Calilornia, roudly abusing the Northern
country aud their ill luck. The number of such
have produced a panic at Victoria aud the other
places dependent upon the new mines.
Whether there aro any extensive gold fields at
the head of Fraser and Thompson River, is not yet
settled. Sufficient time has uot been allowed for
“prospecting” in that distant and hardly accessible
region. It will be a year before the gold mining
capacity of British Columbia is fully hnown. The
bars in the bed of Fraser river are being worked
with good results. Iu some pieces it is complained
that the pay dirt does not hold out to any great
depth—but this iaet does not appear to be fully
sustained by the proof at band. Iu short, the con
dition ofttt lirsinTlritLh Columbia may beEumined
uo in a sentence.
‘A letter from Viotoria, dated September 21, says
that there can be little doubt that large amounts of
gold will bt. taken liom the river when the water
goes dowu to its west point, but that there will
be no very great yield until then. The same letter
says:
“Collector Hiehn, the Crown officer at Fort Yale,
baa received information, upon which hy relies, an
nouncing the discovery of a mine of liquid quick
silver. I have been unable to obtain lurther par
ticulars in relation to this remarkable phenomenon,
f indeed the statement in regard to it have any
iust foundation.”
Kf.ntucky and Indiana Slave Troubles.— The
Capture of Horace Bell.— We published a brief
telegraphic account a few days since of the illegal
arrest of Horace Beil, at New Albany, Indiana, by
some Kentucky officers, who carried him into
Kentucky. The particulars of tho affair, as given
by the Louisvi.le Journal, are as follows :
“Last winter a negro slave was run off from
Brandenburg by a free negro who resides ia India
na. The latter had been engaged in this nefarious
practice for some time, and, circumstances trans
pired which led to tbe discovery that a white family
named Bell, who have a farm opposite Branden
burg, had been aiding and abetting it. In Maich
last, one of the eons of Bell was caught in Branden-
burg and arrested, and rubssquently the father was,
by stratagem, induced to go to tbe river one night
aud he was then algo arrested by a posse of Ken
tuokiann and taken across. The two Bells were
brought before the county J udge on a charge of
running off negroes, and in default of giving bail
each in $5 (191) tor their appearance at the circuit
court, were committed to jail. The next circuit
court held the case was continued to a subsequent
term.
Last summer, Horace Beil, who it ia stated, had
been to Nicaragua, returned. It July last, while a
barbecue was held at Garnettevilie, which was at
tended by the jailor and moat of the citizens of
Brandenburg, Horace accompanied by two men
aud armed to the teeth, croreed in a skiff to Bran
denburg, proceeded to the jaii, which had been left
in ohurgs of the jailor’s wife aud a young man, aud
demanded the relnqse of his father and brother.
The young man lied at the appearance of a six
shooter in Horace's hand, aud the jailor's wife sur
rendered the keys. The party then released the
lather aDd his son, and took them back in their
skiff to ludiana. The citizens of Brandenburg
thereupon < ffered a reward of $51)0 for the delivery
of Qorapp Bell to the jailor of that county. These
are the circumstances ja brief out of which grew
the affair on Saturday.
Ou Saturday, while Horace was working on
Main street in New Albany, five men, who are re
ported to have been officers from this oity, seissd
bold of him, and carried him to the ferry-boat,
vvbiph i{ is alleged was waitiug to bring them across.
He was jodgpd ip the jail in this city, and a felony

French Treaty.— Qiite an event has Recurred
in the political world iu tho ac-t'on of tfce liawa-.ian
Government on tbe French Ire ity. Tl.e treaty was
at first rejected by the King, and hi* action met
with so much app'uuse that a sa'u’oot i(D gnr.s was
fired by a t-enmii toe of tfce citizens of lfo- olnlu
cv. rthe evert A few days after, however, the
t --a y hr-’ i g been altered, and the approval of the
K rg havi ig neen warmly sought by his Minirteri
and the French Commissionur, Ls finally yielded to
their entreaties and ratified tbe document. The
treaty is universally condemned by citizens of eve
ry class as oppressive and unjust to this weak na
tion. Tue main points yielded to Francs are : That
the French language is to be placed ou a level with
the English : the duty < n liquors to be reduced
from $5 to $3 a gallon; French veeeels in the Ha
waiian ; the French Consul is allowed to exercise
judicial functions belonging of right to the Ha
waiian courts. The ratifioation of the treaty was
effected by a trick, in attaching to its supplemen
tary article a “rider,” which no one believes the
French Empercr will sign, or even notice. This
article being rejected, the treaty will be considered
in lull force The enforcement of the treaty, it is
supposed, will cause an annual loss in the revenue
of the Hawaiian kingdom of between thirty and
forty thousand dollars.— Honolulu Advertiser, Sep!.

Another Wild Cat Gone.
The Tel.*raph has arnotmeed, within tbe iaet
few days, the failure of Curtis? Sl Cos , Peoria, HI,
the owners jf one of tbe Georgia Wild Cat swind
ling efccps, which pron ccd a moet intense excite
ment among the people ot that city. So great was
the indigtetion of the people, that the banking
house and the private reeidences of the firm were
threatened to be torn down by tbe mob, and the
military were notified to hoJd themselves in readi
nees to check any such demonstrations. The senoir
partner seems to be more blamed than his asso
ciates, anu there was a talk of burning him in effi
gy. The following statement ia from the Peoria
Transcript:
The fai.ure of the banking house of N. B. Curtis’
Sc Cos. was announced yesterday (Monday) morn
ing, and created great excitement throughout the
C ‘ : sl B '* me . h^ e toled about one year a*o,
end had succeeded in establishing i self in basinet
again principally through the leniency of its credi
tors, who cad confidence in the integrity of its
managers, lha present lailau-was wholly nnex
ftU!l ,‘ iu kht about under cireamstan
eea which lead to the suspicion that it was preme
ditated, aud tha ,he design is to defraud the pub
lic. How much ground there is for susoicion o: this
character, we have no means of knowing.
X B. Curtiss i. Cos., are the owners of a wildcat
bauk in Dalton Georgia, called the “Cherokee In
surance and Banking Co.’’ At the time of their
firs, failure a large amount of this trash was in the
hands of the people *f this section, many of whom
submitted to heavy atmves upou it, while a few held
on to what they had and what they could buy of it
ui ,:1 Mes Sis. C. & Cos., had re-esiabliahed them
selves, when it was redeemed. During the B ii
months in wuchtiey have beendointf business since
their re opening, C &, Cos., have quietly pay
ing cut all the Cherokee they could inauag* to,
iiiid, redeeming every doilar of it presented at their
counter, have succeeded in maintaining ita credit.
Ihe consequence ia that a large amount of this
ueecript’.oii oi shin plaster currency is in the ban da
of our larmere, inteiianics, urieichants, and others,
who mua: dubmit to a heavy , and peruana a total
loss upou it, all hope ot the re-establiaiiment of
iaessra. Curtie &c Cos, having fled. They even re
iuae to take Cherokee in payment of their ©wn
debts, although by some curious management
which we do not faiiy comprehend, it is announced
that it wnl 1)9 taken in payment of the outstanding
debts of Mo*a, Harding, & Cos.
Tsie precise amount oi Cherokee money now in
circulation we are unable to ascertain, and it is of
course impossible to Jell, ‘> he prevalent opinion is
mat there in about $1511,000 of it in the hands ot the
people ot this section. There may be distant locali
ties where it lies been paid out. The amount of
money on deposit with Curtiss, &. Cos., by our busi
ness men, at the hour cf failure, will not fall far
short of $4‘1,400. ‘i aey promise their uespositors,
we understand, that they Bhail shortly receive their
money in luii. There is oontidenco in the promise
in eooie quarters, but itiicot general.
\\ e advise holders of Cherokee not to part with
it immediately. Wail until the excitement eub
fridea, aud uutii an inside view o. Curtiss’ affair can
ba had.
Fortunately for the people of thi j State, the swin
dlers could not obtain a circulation for their bills
in Georgia. With this failure bef>r their eyes,* the
people ot Cherokee, Georgia, would perhaps do
well, to be admonished of the fate that certainly
awaite them, if they give credit to the two Wild
Cat 13 inks that still have an existence in their midst.
The only safety is to repudiate their bills, under &ny
aud all circumstances. •
To protect the people against these Swindling
Shops, we re-publiah a list of them; not one of
which we deem worthy of confidence or credit.—
Lst every man, who desires to protect himself
against loss preserve this list, and refuse the bills of
all the Banks named, whenever offered :

The Tel-gra;:!! ha-* already announced the ap
: psarsnce of a lotto.” from the Hon. F. P. Blair, Jr.,
| f Missouri, refering to a certain interview be
tween hiai airs H ughs, last winter in Washing
t-n City Douglas has been questioned on tbe
stump in Illinois, at to the character of that inter
view, and aeked to consent that Blair might make
wbat occured public, but the ‘‘iittie giant,” not
or.iy refused to give any satisfactory answer, bat
refused to let Blair diioloee tbe truth. This o(
itseli was very significant, but the Utter of Blair,
which we publish below, leaves no doubt as to the
true character of tbe interview :
St. Louis, Monday, Oct. 36.
Istac H. Sturgeon, Esq.:
Dear Sir : l hava received your note putting
certain interrogatories to me in reference to the
conversation held by Judge Douglas and myself at
his h-use last Winter. 1: has always been a prin
ciple with me to hold sacred every private conver
sation between any gentleman and myself, and this
will forbid my saying anything in answer to the
questions you have asked. Although Mr. Douglas,
by his conduct to me, and by the unscrupulous
attacks of his partisans, has forfeited all claims on
my forbearance, yet I do not consider that because
others have failed to conform to the proprieties of
life, it furnishes an excuse for me to follow their
example.
After what has beeu said, however, It isjaat and
proper to myself to say, that the letter which was
written by me to Mr. B. Grata Brown, of the Miasou
ri Democrat, and which has beau the basis of the
assaults made on me by Mr. Douglas’ partisans for
violating an alleged confidence, was written in
s'rietaccordance icith the wishes of Judge Douglas
himself. In fact, I deemed it to be the single ob
ject ot the interview to which I was invited to miti
gate, through me, the hostility of the radioal (free
soil) Democratic Press of St. Louis towards him. I
wrote for this purpose, believing it to be his desire,
and I had no agency whatever in giving currency
to the rumors about the contents of that letter
which have found their way into the newspapers.
The blackguardism of the newspapers in the
interest of Mr.’ Douglas on this account com
pels me to make tbio explanation, and is the only oc
caseion for my writtiog a word on the subject.
Lhave said I was invited to this interview by
Judge Douglas. Isay solo repel the idea that I
sought any interview with him upon political sub
jects. The invitation and message came through
the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana, and has
never to my knowledge beeu treated as a private
matter. I take the occasion to say, that neither the
message sent me, nor anything that ever occurred
between Judge Douglas and myself prepared me
for hearing of his calling for three cheers over the
defeat of t e Emancipationists of Missouri, and my
own defeat by tho Pro Sluvery-Lccomptou-Buehan
an Democracy of Missouri.
Yours, Frank P. Plair, Jr.
Douglas in Mississippi— The friends of Judge
Douglas iu Mississippi are ‘’growing small by de
grees and beautifully less.” It is difficult to find a
democrat in this truly democratic State who still
supports him. The politicians are bitter in their
denunciations—tho newspapers are tierce iu their
warfare—and the heart of the honest masses beat
with hate for the man whoso treason has brought so
much injury ou the South and the democratic party.
Thus speaks the .Memphis Avalanche , one of the
leading democratic organs of the Mississippi Valley,
which not n little surprises us; for we had supposed,
that the Avalanche, from its thorough knowledge
of democratic tactics, might calculate with cer
tainty on seeing the whole democratic party of the
South rallying to the support of Douglas, ii it be
deemed necessary to retain the spoils. E ven those
journals which now denounce Douglas so “bitterly
for “ his treason,” havo soarcely a word ol com
plaint to utter against the men of their party at the
South vI o are vindicating his re election ; thus
showing their willingness to unite with and sustain
the “traitors” in their midst, “/or the sake of the
paity,'’ whils they pretend to repudiate Douglas.
Such a shallow trick can deceive no man at the
South who is not a willing dupe, lor all those who
inform themselves must oee there is no real and fTer
ence, so far ns the South is concerned, between the
Black Republicans, Douglas, and the Northern de
mocracy. Upon the elavery question they aro all
identical, with ECiioely an exception; and to the
South it makes no difference really which is in
power, except that, if a Black Republican be elected
in 1860, eome of the Southern blusterers and dema
gogues may detire to acquire a little notoriety, by
advocating an immediate dissolution of the Union.
Postmaster General Brown, it is stated, has ma
tured a plan which will be recommended to Con
gress, for establishing an arrangement by whioh
money orders, upon the basis of the British system,
may ne transmitted from place to place through the
poßteffiee. Some hope that it may be favorably
entertained, and it would be if the Administration
had any influence.
Postnißßter General Brown may mature and sug
gest as many plans as the department officials can
write out lor the term of his administration, but he
will never succeed in rendering tbe department
efficient under the operations of the “ spoilt sys
tem;” and the sooner that fact is learned at Wash
ington, the better for the oountry and the efficient
management of the business of the Postoffice. No
department of this, or any other government, with
such extensive ramifications as the Postoffice, can
be managed with efficiency where men are put in, or
turned out of office, because of their political opinions,
without any reference whatever to their capacity or
efficiency. It matters not how efficient a men may be,
what his capacity, or how faithfully he may dis‘
churge the duties of his office, if he does not vote as
the powers that be require, he is removed without
ceremony or warning, and probably some brawling
demagogue, or political drone, thrust into his place
who has neither capaciy or efficiency. Under
such a system, it is not surprising that the Postoffice
Department of the country, is not managed more
successfully.
It is utterly impossible under this system to se
cure the services of the mott capable and effioient
men, and when Mr. Brown suggests the proposed
plan, if if be adopted by Congress, ho will discover,
when lie attempts to carry it into operat'Gn, that a
large portion of his deputies, have not the intelli
gence to carry it out successfully. While, if he will
go towoik, like a practical, sensible man, and
strike at tbe root of the evil, by abolishing his de
grading and corrupting spoils system, he may make
the American Postoffice Dspartment wbat the
British ib. But we fear he has geitber the patriot
ism or moral courage to attempt the revolution, and
we may expect during his administration a contin
uance of the same inefficiency and mismanagement
whi-h have characterised the department for years.
It is unfortunate for the country that the depart
ments are very generally filled by mousing politi
cians rather than palriots and statesmen. It is a
great misfortune, and the country is made to bleed
at every pore iu consequence.
Vice President Breckenridge’s Letter,
W e find in our exchanges t o following synopsis
of Mr. Breckenridoe’s letter to the Illinois Demo
cratic Convention, a telegraphic notice of which we
have published :
‘•The Vice President writes to Hon. John Mooro,
Chairman of the I.liaois Democratic State Commit
tee, in reply to an invitation to visit Illinois and ad
dress the people, the committee having been in
formed that he desired to do so. This, he states, is
incorrect, but he will not decline to answer their
courteous letter.
He says bo cannot endorse the course of Senator
Douglas during the late session of Congress, upon
the Kansas question, blit that question having since
been practically settled, and Douglas being the
leader of the Democracy of Illinois, in their present
light against ‘Black Republicanism,’ he sympathizes
with him, desires his success and trusts that the De
mocracy of the State, which has never given a sec
tional vote, will not now be found laggurd in their
duty to the Constitution and the Union.”
Thue it seems that tte Vice President is for cus
taining the I harmony ” of the party regardless of
the principles of its members. It would be difiioult
to show in vrhat respect Douglas is preferable to
the Biack Republicans on any question involving
tbe rights of thd South.
Governor Wise —.Senator Dougins,
A correspondent of the New York Herald, wri
ting from Riikmond, says : “Some leading mem
bers of the Democracy in Illinois have solicited
Gov. Wise to lake the slump in that State iu be
half of Douglas. The Governor declines, but
writes a letter which will, doubtless, soon be pub
lished, givirg his views of the issues involved in
that campaign. As lam informed, he warmly ad
vocates Douglas’ re election, and boldly main
tains the position which he assumed at the outset
of the Leeompton controversy.”
It is also staled that J. J. Crittenden end
Arch. Dixon, cf Kentucky, have written letters
urging the re election of Douolas, and this, too,
while the President iB busily engaged in guillotining
tie Douglas Democrats iu Illinois. It Is but a
short time since tbe Di mocratic organs at the
South, denounced Crittenden as “a Traitor to the
South,” but now, we presume ho is shielded from
their denunciations, by his association with Gov.
Wise and other Southern Douglasitea.
What a commentary upon the character and
viruience of the Democratic press, that such a man
as John J. Crittenden, whoso great talents and
long life have been devoted to his country, in her
councils and on her battle fields, is denounced as a
traitor to that country, and particularly his own
section. If they were not lost to all sense of shame,
their cheeks would be suffused whenever the
thought occurred to their minds.
Douglas does not Dent an Alliance with the
Abolitionists. —The Coiambus Enquirer says:—
On the loth inst., at Alton, 111., Dr. Hope, the Ad_
miniatrai ion candidate for Congress in that District,
encountered Judge Douglas on the stump, and en
deavored to make him admit or deny F. P. Blair’s
charges that he (Dougla) was last winter in secret
caucus and coalition with the Black Republicans of
Congress. Judge Douglas, however, would neither
admit the “ soft impeachment”-nor make an issue
with Blair by denying it We copy the conclusion
of Dr. Hope's statement of the discussion between
himself and Douglas :
“ Judge Douglas concluded his answer to my
question by eayingthat I was allied with the Repub
beans to defeat him During the Judge's epeech I
did not interrupt him, except by a simple denial.
After he had concluded his rejoinder to Mr. Lincoln,
I got upon the stand and spoke to him, saying, after
I had taken his hand, that he had done me injustice
by saj iog that I was allied with the abolitiomets. I
then propounded to him the following qneation :
“ Are you willing that F. P. Blair, Jr., Esq, shall
suite all that tratspirea between you and himself on
political matters during the last Congress ? If you
will receive Republican testimony, 1 will prove that
you were not ouiy the aliy of the Rspablicans all
last winter, but bad agreed to have an alliance of
fensive and defensive for the future.” He said he
had ncthiug to say upon that subject, and declined
to answer the question. Thos.M. Hope.
The editor of the Bt. Louis News, who was also
present, states that Judge Douglas added that 11 he
would not consent to the disclosures which it was
desired Mr. Blair should make.”
Significant.— Oa the 21st of August last, J. W.
Hugtes, editor of the Star of Egypt, a Democratic
paper published at Belleville, 111., wrote:
It is better for the Democratic party of Illinois
for Lincoln to be elected to the United States Sen
ate than Douglas.”
Since the reanlt of the elections in Pennsylvania,
6lc. , the President has removed the Douglas Demo
cratic postmaster at Belleville, and appointed
Hnghes in his place. This is another string link in
the chain of evidence that Buchanan prefers the
election of L’ncoln to that of Douglas. Indeed, we
believe the Washington Union does not deny it.—

The “slavo Trade-Sensible Views.
A writer iu tfco Charleston Mercury, who s’}lea
bimreif an old piauter, atld a rnomler of the Sta ej
Rights party of that State, having been a Nnilifier
a-ii Secessionist, proclaims the following eourd and
sensible views on the quesiiou of t o-opening the
slave trade. The truth is, fro.i our observation i
and knowledge of publio sentiment at the S ,uth, ■
we believe the intelligent, reflecting and practical
men are nearly as unanimously opposed to the re
opening es the slave trade as tbe people at the
North. There aro a few exceptions, eo few as not to
form more than a oorporals guard and they are
generally exceedingly ncisy in their advocacy. We
may be mistaken, but we have no idea that one in
ten of the intelligent, practical business men in Geor
gia, are in favor of re-opsning the slave trade.
‘•There is a question I wish to ask you, Mr.
Editor. For some thirty years the Merttury has
been the great organ of the State Rights party of
South Cardin-, and you of course know all about it.
Now, it is said about these parts that there are cer
tain members of our party who have become rather
fanatical about reopening the Afrioau slave trade,
and are trying to make the good old State Rights
party ot South Carolina a slave trade . party. If
they suoaeel in their intentions, Mr. Elitor, count
me out, aud indeed all of us in those parts. lain
an old piauter, and was a uullifier and a secessionist,
and all my life I have baen of the State Rights par
ty; but when it Is used to ride the hobby of the
Atricau slave trade let me get down. We of the
South a"-e doing very well pecuniarily. We have
the making of cotton, &c., pretty much to ourselves.
Do wo want the whole world to grow cotton too l
If we do not, let the whole world outside the South
abuse and hate elavery. We want no ‘moral vic
tories’ ou slavery outside ths South. The more
other folks persist iu refusiug to use Africans as
slaves the better for us. If wo could convert all
other nations to the truth concerning African slave
ry we of the South would be ruined, stock, lock,
and barrel. Why, suppose half a million of negroes
were annually imported into this continent from
Africa, and the West India lelauds were i educed
again to slave cultivation, what would become of us
in South Carolina in twenty years 7 We would be
overseers without profit, a police without pay. Let
us not help to break up the delusion of other people
as to African slavery by reopening the African
slave trade. We qave got a pretty ‘smart chauce’
ot negroes, three millions and & half, which double
every twenty yeats. Twenty years hence we will
have seven millions, iu forty years fourteen millions-
But the nonsense of the tbmgjls that we have got no
power in this Union to do the thing ; and, if we had
the power, ought we to do it with Yankees to con
trol it 7 Mr. Editor, we lock to you to uphold our
old party. Don’t let it be Africanized, for the
Lord's sake. Don’t let us divide 8 ruth Carolina
aud the South whilst in ths,Union on this impossibil
ity. If the upholders of the reopening of the Afri
can slave trade want to make themselves into a
party let them do so ; but do not let the old S’ate
Rights party be converted into a slave trade party
tv aid any purpose or any body.”
The Rumored Russian Railroad Fraud.-a
Mr. Thckas Wtnans, of Baltimore, one of tbe
American Russian Railroad Comp sny, has addressed
a letter to the Baltimore .Sun, denying in toto tho
statement of the “ Ijondon News,'’ that a great fraud
had been committed by tbe Company on the govern
ment, in the length of the railroad from St. Peters
burg to Moscow. Mr. Wtnans says:
“I assert that the statement itself aud every in
sinuation of fraud or unfair dealing by the Ameri
can company alluded to, is false in the whole and
in every particular. Nor do I for a moment credit
the declaration that auy error has been discovered
in tbe length of the railroad track botween St. Pe
tersburg and Moscow. The line of the road has
been so repeatedly surveyed, both before and since
it was built, and by different parties, as to preclude
the possibility of such a mistako or such a fraud. —
But besides this, the route of tho road had been
surveyed by Russian engineers, aud its cost ascer
tained uuder such surveys long before Major
Whistler or any othor American engineer had been
employed or liad anything to do with the road
long before the presence of any of the American
Company referred to in Russia, and of course,
before they had anything to do with the road. And
when it is borne in mind that the railroad is so lo
cated as to follow the line of a turnpike built half a
century or more ago, and without any considerable
deviation, and whose length must have been a mat
ter of familiarity to tie government and tbe people,
it will appear almost impossible that a discrepancy
of sixty miles could have existed without a tractiug
attention, and if fictitious or fraudulent, leading to
an investigation and exposure.
“If such a discrepancy has been discovered,it
cannot for these reasons be chargeable'to Ameri
cans. Certainly tho American company alludedto
in the article above quoted had neither knowledge
of nor participation in it. I have received by the
steamer letters to tbe 7th of October, the latest pos
sible dates, from that company, (of whioh 1 am my
self a member,) which make no mention of tbe ex
traordinary revelation set out in the above para
graph, nor have I ever heard of it before.
“The article published in your paper is from the
London News of the tilth ot October. The date of
its letter from St. Petersburg is not given—but it is
not likely the St. Petersburg letter wasof a later date
than mine. It is soarcely possible that if such a
revalaton has taken place, my correspondent
would have beeu iguorant of it, or fai'ed to com
municate it to me.”
The New York Tragedy.— The New York
Times gives tho following accounts of the recent
horrible tragedy in that city, a partial acoount of
which we gave yeste-day;
A most hostile tragedy, even for this age of trage
dies and excitements, took place late on Tuesday
night, at No. 217 West Thirtieth street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, in the family of Mr.
Francis Gouldy, a respectable merchant ot this city.
The eldest son of Mr. Gouldy, a wild youth not
quite twenty years of age, had, through his gam
bling proolivities, become involved in pecuniary
difficulties, and was accused by his father of appro
priating eome of the family money which was not
strictly bia own. Ou Tuesday night, shortly after
IU o’clock, the young man went home, and after a
brief altercation with his lather, proceeded up stairs,
partially changed his apparel, took a hatchet, aud
with it attacked each of his parents, his brothers,
and the two servant girls of the house, his sisters
only escaping. The wound billeted on his father,
is of such a nature that reoovery is impossible, a
portion of tbe skull, on the temple, three inches iu
length and two inches and a halt in width, being
cut away by the blow. The skulls of his mother,
two younger brothers, aud the servant girls, are
also fractured, and portions of the bone either driven
in upon the brain or cleanly cut away. After com
mitting these atrocious deeds, the wretched man re
turned to bia room and shot himself, blowing his
skull to pieces, and soattering his brains about the
floor.
The Peabody Institute.— The Baltimore Pat
riot of Monday says :—We are informed upon the
best authority, and we take great pleasure in ma
king it publio, that George Peabody, Esq., has most
generously added $2011,000 to the Peabody Institute
fund, for the erection of the noble edifice now go
ing up in this oily. This, with the previous endow
ment on the part of Mr. P., makes more than half
a million of dollars.
We also learn, from the same autlioiity, that this
distinguished and liberal minded gentleman has not
only passed through, unscathed, the tremendous
financial oiisis that so deeply effected the old and
new world, bat that he is at this time, in possession
of a larger fortune than at any previous period of
his life, and that the additional sum of $200,000 will
not at all interfere with his ability and willingness
to go on to “do good” while he lives, and thus to a
great extent be his own executor.
The Home Journal— The Philadelphia Seas
pays the following well-deserved compliment to this
excellent journal:
Referring to the South, reminds us that the Home
Journal has in the course of publication a series of
original letters and sketches of Southern life, by a
Southern gentleman, which are creating a most
agreeable sensation all over the country, and doing
much to promote good feeling between the North
and South. We do not know whothe author is, but
let him be who he may, be certainly holds an ini
mitable peD. His productions aro doing more to
extend the circulation of the Home Journal than
any that have yet graced its charming columns.
Higher praise than this no newspaper writer need
require, since it is universally admitted by the best
judges that the Journal has no rival home or abroad,
as an instructive, chaste, lively, entertaining family
paper.
We are violating no obligation of eecresy, says
the Charleston Courier, in guesssing that the con
tributor of the Home Journal, here referred to in
emphatic but well merited commendation, is
Joseph W. Taylor, of Green county, Alabama.
The Officers of the Austria.— The first, se
cond and third officers and six of the crew of the
Austria, who were taken to England from Fayal
on board the Ireland, publish in the London Times
of the 15th a statement in regard to the fire on board
that vessel and their own performance of duty.—•
They assert that the frantic passengers alone pre
vented them from getting down the boats, but cor
roborate tbe statements of the passengers in regard
to the more frantic captain. In other respects their
statement contains nothing additional to what we
have already published.
Land Warrant Frauds. —At a recent session of
the United States Circuit Court, in Vermont, Judge
Smalley presiding, the Grand Jury found four bills:
One against W. Swett, of Thetford, bound over in
the rum of $3,000; one against Rev. Isaiah Hunt
ley, oi Essex, bound over in the sum of $1,500, and
two against Dr. Asa George, of Calais, bound over
in the sum of $2,500; all for procuring land war
rants fraudulently.
noops under the Ban. —The resolutions of the
Miami Conference of ,tbe Church of the United
Brethren declaring the wearing of crinoline incom
patible with a true Christian's profession,seem to be
rigidly enforced by the authorities of that denomi
nation. At a camp-meeting of the United Breth
ren Church recently held near West Baltimore,
Montgomery county, Ohio, Bishop Russell forbade
anv one with hoopß on to partake of the sacrament,
affirming that they would not be welcome at the
table of the Lord.
Youthful Criminals. —On referring to a recent
examination of the prisons on Randall's and Black
well's Islands, the Grand Jury of Ntw York, state,
as a fact worthy of consideration, that at least
three-fourths of the convicts on the latter Island are
youths, between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five
This is Bald to be precisely the class among which
the most dangerous criminals and murderers of the
large cities are to be found.
Committed.— The trial of Dr. Theoclore Gaillar
det, at New York, for an assault with intent to kill
Mr. Cranston, the proprietor of tbe New York Ho
tel, has rssnlted in the conviotion of the accused,
whereupon, in accordance with the rules of the
court, the Assistant District Attorney moved for his
commitment to the city prison. Tbe defendant
was taken in charge by the officers, and will be sen
tenced to day. As soon as the jury pronouneed the
verdict Madame Gefllardet gave vent to her emo”
tion in convulsive shrieks, and the scene was very
affectiug.
The Paraquat Expedition.— Two lake steam
ers—the America and the Ontario—have been char
tered for the Paraguay Expedition, at $4,000 per
month. They are to be fitted for sea at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard with all possible dispatch, and four
hundred new bands will be taken on specially for
the work. The Expedition now consists of fourteen
vessels, which can navigate the Parana and Para
guay rivers as far as Assumption, and the frigates
Jamestown, Plymouth and Falmouth, which are of
too heavy draft to go up, but whose crews will be
placed on smaller vessels, at the mouth of the Pa
raguay. The fighting force of the Expedition will
consist of three thoamnd men.
An Eccentric Man.— Bennett Aldridge, an old
citiien of Petersburg, Va, died there ou tbe 22d
lust. Among many eccentricities cf the deceased
was that of preparing a grave for himself in the
cemetery and leaving a dying requeet that a fellow
citizen—not a minister, phould offioiate at hie tune

Wax Figures vs. Shakespeare.—A showman, |
named Ward, reoent'y addressed the C’eveland ‘
Plaindenler quite an original and forcible essay I
on the ‘ uperkrity of an exhibition of wax figures
over the of Shakespeare’s plays.— ;
Here it is:

a oacetatiiy called a Grand Movin Diarammar of the

with the idea of making my show a grate Moral Ed

speaking of mora’ity remines me that sum folks
turns up their noses at shows like mine, eayin they
is low and not tit to be patronized by people of

nonsense. I maintain that wax figures is more eleva

but I contend he is quite the reverse to the contra

That Jack Fawlsiaf is likewise a immoral old cuss

Yellow Fever in Tixas —The Galveston News
of tbe 31st, Bays :
Ths whole number of doaths by yellow fever jn
this city up to tbe present dais, as reported by our
City Sexton, is 236. There is now an encouraging
preßpect of an abatement in tbe epidemic from this
time. The change of weather may bo unfavorable
to those now sick, but may be presumed to diminish
the virul-nce of tha infection.
We understand Ihtre have been admitted to the
Hospital seine 130 cases of yellow lever, among
whom there have been but eight or teu deaths. This
speaks weit for tho good management of that insti
tution.
Wo learn by passengers from Lynchburg this
morning, that the yellow lever in that place is spread
leg through many families. Our informant states
that there were twenty liases yesterday, in a propit
iation of some two hundred iu Lynnhbu-g and San
Jacinto. Amcng the doaths, we learn tbe follow
ing: Capt. Parker, falter of Dr. Parker, of Hous
ton ; Dr. Barnes, young Mr. Lavender, and some
others whoso names arc not remembered. Dr. D.
D. Drysdaie and Dr. Frost are tho pin s olans.
The Houston Telegraph, of the 20di, reports 17
deaths iu that city during the past week, ot which
I I were from yellow fever.
Paid Fire Department at Richmond.— The
City Council of Richmond, Va., have determined
to organize a paid tire department. The Dispatch
gives the following items of the plan proposed :
“The ordinance heretofore reported on the eub
jeot provides that the Fire Brigade shall consist of a
principal engineer, seven commanders, seven fore
men, and Ills firemen; a comma! der, afoieuiau,
and 10 firemen to each fire company, and the eauie
officers and 12 men to the hook aud ladder compa
ny ; each commander may hire not more than len
slaves to assist his company, but they shall not be
I considered a purt of tha brigade; no person under
21 years of age, or who does not list lor Slate or
city taxes SSO of taxable property, shall be a mem
ber ; the pay of ihe principal engineer to be $1,01)0;
each ooinmander, $200; each foreman, $150; each
fireman, SIOO per annum—payable quarterly ; the
hire ot each slave not to exceed s'2o p r annum.
Tocmss and Stephens bcth eok Douglas— the
question settled.— The last Griffin Independent
South says:
“Our statement that Messrs.Toombs and Stephens
were Douglas advocates, was based upon the as
sertion of a Democrat, one whose wordibe Junior
edit -r ofthe Intelligencer will no q estion, lie
tol l us, in presence of a Democrat, in this city, that
at Crawford Court, Mr. Sb phens admitted having
said in effect what the Cincinnati Commercial im
puted to him, to wit: That he was in favor of Doug
las’ re-election to the U. S. Senate, and that the
Administration had aoted wickedly loolish in war
ring upon him. He also told us that Mr. Toombs
had, in h's hearing, expressed himself in favor of
Douglas, and that he hiuiaeif u as a Douglas man.’’
The Rights or Negro Passengers —ln the
case of William H. Day, a negro man, against John
Owen, owner of tho steamer Arrow, plying be
tween Detroit end Toledo, the Supreme Court of
Michigan has decided that proprietors of steam
boats have the light to refuse a cabin passage to
colored persons. The court said :
The right to be carried is a right superior to the
rules and regulations of the boat, and cannot ba af
fected by them. If dufendaut had refused to carry
the plaintiff generally, he would be liable unless he
could show Bums good excuse releasing him from
the obliration. While this is a right that cannot tie
touched by rules and regulations, the accommoda
tion of passtngera, while being transported, is sub
ject to such rules aud regulations as the carrier may
think proper to make, provided they be reasonable.
The right to be carried is one thing; the privilege
of a passenger on board of the boat —what part of
it may be cocupicd by him, or he have tho right to
use—is another thiug.
A late Paris letter from Mr. Walsh says .- A few
days ago we had a singular and impressive process
of nature in tho Place Vendome; the unnual assem
blage of the swallows from all points of the capital,
for their migration to tha South, in three principal
oolumnß setting out successively, and skillfully mar
shalled, from the roofs of the hotels, black with the
swarms. The rear guard moved off on Wednesday.
Severe Drought. —Tue Norfolk Day Book
slateß tlmt so severe is the drought in that section
ot tli9 State that the citizens of Suffolk are forced
to Bend three miles to the canal for water to drink—

est inhabitants of that town. At Norfolk, also, the
cisterns have beoome exhausled.
Tbe North American of Philadelphia claims that
the population of that city now numbers 6U 2,1)27
This includes the whole county of Philadelphia,
which is very ex!ensive and contains a number of
populous villages. Kensington, Southwark, Moya
meusing, the Northern Liberties, Manayui k, Ger
mantown, Frankfort, Holmesburg, Bustletown,
Hamilton, Mantua, Sr-a., are now counted in a cen
sus of Philadelphia. Toe whole area thus included
s about 155 square miles.
We learn from the New Orleans Picayune, that
Dr. Palmer, Pastor of the First PresbyteriaD
Church in that city, having been attacked by the
prevailing epidemic, is now convalescent, and will
soon be able to enter again upon the discharge of
his pastoral duties. His family have nearly all
passed the ordeal of the fever in safety.

dred persons, and the new speculation paid well.
Sale of the Smuggled Telescope — Jz profes
sor in the University of Mississippi recently pur
chased a telescope for his private use, and escaped
paying duty on its importation by representing that
it was for the University. The federal effioersat
Pontoto- got wind of the dodge, and seizing the

its value—abau* $3lO.

to break up the giving of “straw bail,"’ and admit,
ting that the court was frequently imposed upon by
designing parties.
The Population of Philadelphia.— lt is com
puted by the North American that Philadelphia has
a population of between 610,000 and 625 000, and
that it increases and has increased since 1850 at
about the rate of five per cent per annum, calculated

American Travel to Europe —Since Gen. Cass
became Secretary of State, ten thousand eight hun
dred and Eeven passports have been issued from the
Department. Each paaeport is supposed to cover
three of a family on an average, mak ng some thir
ty thousand persons a year. Allow an expenditure
of SI,OOO each, and thirty millions a year would thus
be carried out of the country f.oxi fiia at u ee only.
This estimate represents only a pi r. ot the travel,

Reverend Swindlers— Considerable exoite
meDt was manileßted on the Btieet, Monday last, on
account of the coming to light ot the following cir
cumstances :
T. K. Purselay, and Rob't Ware, two Baptist
preachers, who have proclaimed the gospel from
every pulpit in the county, and who have enjoyed,
for the last ten or fifteen years tho unlimited con
fidence of the community, left the county with a
drove of hortes. After they had boeu absent seve
ral days it was discovered that they had committed
several heavy forgeries, on some of our best citi
zen?. They had also made a disposition of their
property, aud borrowed large sums of money.—
Their liabilities will not, it is thought, fall short of
fifty thousand dollars. We understand Mr. Ware's
father was Lung in North Carolina for forgery,
(or theft) and the eon seems to be a “chip of the old
blo'k.”
P. S. Since the above was in type, we have heard
that no cose of forgery lirb come to light in whioh

The Coosa River—A Survet.— The improve
ment of tte Coosa iver is taking a tangible shano.
A few days since, Capt Penning'on, ot Rome, Oa.,
with assistants, arrived at Wetumpka, iu a cunoe,
having embarked at Gadsden, with the purpose of
examining the river, through its whole course to the
Great Fails. This preliminary survey was set on
foot by a company at Rome, prominent in which
are the propnetors of a successful line of email
steamers which ply between Gadsden and Rome.
Capt Pennington found the condition of the river
far more favorable than he had eupp eed it would
prove to be. Low as the stage of water is, ha found
no difficulty in descending in his little craft; and
everywhere was plenty of water for small steamers,
if the current wee narrowed at. certain points. As
a general thing, there is a pretty smooth rock bot
tom all the way ; and where obstructions do occur,

they are not very formiaaoie.
It was ascertained by Capt. P., that the fall from
Gadsden to Wetnmpka, is OAily 234 feet. His cal
culation?, now, are of course hasty and merely ap
proximate i but the variance will not be material.
This amoucf of fall is so divided along the whole
distance as to make the work of improvement com
paratively ea y. It is the opinion of Capt. P , that
$800,(XIO will certainly accomplish the work—a sum
really tnfling when viewed in comparison with the
value of the river after it shad have been opened as
an avenue of commerce. Os this sum, it is most
confidently expected that half a million can and
will be raised :u Rome end its vicinity. The ques
tion then is, where are the other thousands to come
from 7 Both Montgomery and Wetumpka are
sufficiently interested in the accomplishment of this
work, to make it proper, if they had the means, fir
them to lend material assistance ; but both these
cities have their resources and energies pledged to
the utmost for the Central Ra in ad. Mi bile, which
is inteiested more largely in the success of tbe
movement than any other plaoe, might, it seems to
us, contribute the remaining $31)0,000, it ample
guaranties of success were offired. The achieve
ment of the project would largely inorease and di
versify the n ceipts at that port. In less than ten
years, the money would be mo. e than gained back.
Some of the friends of this enterprise think that
aid may be obtained from the General Govern
ment, but we apprehend that the Democratic mem
bers of Congress, from Georgia and Alabama, will
be found voting in a body, against such aid. All
Democratic appropiiatione are apt to be expended
in a region where there are no negroes. It would
be a sure thiug for the Coosa Improvement, if that
river emptied into one of the Northern Lakes, in
stead of the Gulf of Mexioo.— Monk Mail.
