Smartness of a Bank Cashier.—NN find the following credited to the New Y or Journal of Commerce: “A story is current hare.nf .a little sharp practice on the part of the Cashier ot the Peoples Bank of Patterson, which is too good to be lost. The morning this Institution failed, he came in town expecting to mske arrangements to go on as usual: but nis agent here very properly refused to redeem the. hills unless supplied beforehand with the needful, which was not forthcoming,-and the Cashier accordingly started on his return to make preparations for closing tlie hank. On arriving at Jersey City, he found quite a number of brokers collected, who had got wind of the trouble, and were on their way to Patterson to secure, it possible, the redemp tion of the hills in their hands. The tr .in started, tin* hungry hill-holders seated in the cars, and the cashier, who is President ot the Railroad Company, standing with the En gineer on the locomotive. After si run of s f-w mi'es.

As soon as he had taken leave of his passenger, the engineer put back to bring up the tr in. and found it at a dead stand in an interesting locality, where the passengers had abundant time and oppoitu nity to examine the scenery, and cool the fe ver of th -ir impatience. When the train reached Patterson, the score of brokers rush ed to the bank, hut found it closed with an interesting placard att tehed to the door. Death ok Hon.

The Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette asks some very pertinent questions of the professed or gan of the National Democracy at Washington NA r itlx the A lr,Tiber, we to> w iuU like to know wh:ch side tho hnio iison f It is certain that it is giving no “aid and comfort” to tho Demoarat ie parties of either Mississippi or Georgia. The Southern lights party of Georgia is the old Demo cratic party, joined by one out of ten of the Whig party. The Inion party is the W hig party join ed by a fraction of the Democracy, tolled away from their political duty an 1 t'j'th by the ridicu lous cry -if “union,” ra sed by a cedition formed to save itself fro n imp ;u ling political ruin. The same is true of Mississippi. And vet we find the Washington Union omitting no occasion t*i put in its oar in favor of Cobb and Foote, and against Davis and McDouall. Mayhap, the Washing ton L nton tli nks that outside barbarians like us. who believe in the Old Virginia doctrine of State Sovereignty and of the undoubted right of each State to judge for itself of the “mode and measure of redress’’of Federal grievances—have not the right to queat'on its orthodoxy or complain of its course. If the Wash'ngton Union is Democratic —then were we never a Democrat. We learned the Republican creed in a different school from that in which the Union appears to have got its teachings. In becoming a Southern Rights man, per te, we have never, that we are aware of, aban doned a single tenet of the Democratic faith. The Baltimore platforms of the last 20 tears on Nation al questions are firm resting places for our feet.— The difficult}’ was that the Northern Democracy did not stand tip to their platforms, and indeed were swept from it by the avalanche of abolition fanaticism at the North. Hence our desire to unite the South on the Democratic pin*form of a strict construction of the constitution, and a limita tion of Federal powers, as the only security to the iiiimSty States of the South. Wo have tailed in til’s. And faded how ? A brief historical re view will answer. At the season of the Georgia Legislature pre cedhtg the passage of the compromise by Con gress, that question was the absorbing topic, it i was then agreed by all parties in Georgia, that the I man features of the forthcoming compromise, i were alike unjust, illiberal anil insulting to the | South. The question was, how to defeat it. The ! Democrats said to the Whigs, on this question—a ! purely southern one—let us act together—let | there be no division betwixt us, but let us present ; a united front to our common adversaries and de- I feat the measure, foreshadowed in Congress.— j The Whigs accepted the overture, and it was • agreed to recommend the Nashville convention and to send to it, one Whig and one Democrat from each Congressional District, and delegates similarly selected for the State at large. It was done. In this District, Beiming D. and Craw ford, Wh g were nominated. Judge Ilill was nominated for the Troup District, and so through out the State an effort was made fairly to carry out the arrangement. But before it was com pleted, new lights beamed iqion the minds of the 1 Whig party. They had discovered the potency j of the cry of “ Union.” and found that by taking ; ground against the Nashville convention as a Dis i union scheme, they could subvert the Democratic ! power in Georgia and build up a strong party uli j.Jeranew name sh its stead. The same thing ! occurred in Alabama and Mississippi, both power ful Democratic Stales. In the former, Capt. Jas. Abercrombie who was lately elected to Congress as a most reliable union man, was a member of the Nashville convention, and we believe, voted for the resolutions and address. In Mississippi, Judge Sharkey was the originator of the convention and elected its [’resident, aud he is now a unionist of the purest water, and the Whig candidate for the Senate of the U. States. The trick succeeded most admirably ; and just j as t!e brilliant Mexican war,—a Democratic mca- j p „ re —inured to the benefit of the Whig party, who j opposed it, by the use of the name of the brave ; soldier, but imbecile man, Zachary Taylor; so ! has the Whig party in these three States obtained i power and ascendancy, by going against the rights and interests of the South. • There is no room to doubt, that if, in the Nash ville convention, the South had been fully repre sented, and had unanimously adopted its recom mendations, the Federal Government would have been brought to a pause in its aggressions, and been force.! to settle the territorial question on the line of 36. 30. But the South faltered, and divided, and by its divisions placed her at the mercy of a Free Soil Congress. The Whig party of the South, (aided by Cobb and other Southern Democrats, themselves become weak and odious to the South by their time-serving ajd timid course in Congress.) is responsible for the defeat of the South in this great battle. And now where do we stand ? Hat not the North learned the trick of dividing and conquer ing us ! Is it not proven to the most sceptical that the South is incapable of un on in its own defence; and are not we, and our property, our lives and liberties, exposed naked to a fanaticism unparallel ed in atvocilw and reehle*nes* and whieh has wot “THK UNION OF TUB STATH* AND THK SOYBRBIQNTY Os THH STATKS.” yet exhibited the first symptom of a purpo to abate in its fury, or r.dent in its infernal pur poses? The Demoivacy of Ge >rgia would hav been nearly united but for the baleful influence < the Washington Union. Its circulation pervade the State, and it sowed its po’son of disloyalty t the State, in the minds ofgool meu, whoj confi dence it had previously won. If the National Democracy sLoul 1 ever be n united, (as many believe is to be the inevitable r suit) it must find an organ more true to the Deni’ c-rntie Republican State Rights creel, than tl. Wash’ lgton Uifion has shown itself to be. Frun the Montgomery A<lr. and Gazette. The VVashikqtos Union.—This paper would inur oblige the democracy of the south if it would state sp’ ciflcally and categorically, whether iU intention U to ai wliiggery or democracy here: It prrfesses to be the organ of the democratic part’ and abounds with able and just strict tires in rebuke the iinheciie and pusulanimous administration of Pres dent Fillmore; at.il yet, there Is scarce a paper from i” office that hns not an illiberal fling at such democrats r Davis. Quitman and -McDonald, and at the same tine warmly espouses iFe cause of those men at the south sueh as Foote, Cobh A f'o who are the most zealot advocates of Mr Fillmore's administration of any met even In tiie whig ranks. Surely it cannot be lgnorat:’ that Vr. Foote, dur’ng the canvass in Mississippi, ha made Mr. Fillmore the special theme of his praise, ad miration and commendation. Now, we don’t see clear ly—and hope the Union will deign to enlighten us—how Mr Fillmore and his administration are so censurab'e it Its eyes at Washington, they can be so commcndabh anti proper to it through their (V end Foote in Miss.— Whatever exctise may have been found for such a esur-'t on Hie p.-rt of our metropolitan contemporary, we con ceive that it has entirely vanished now, that the sontherr rights men in Mississippi have—in obedience to the peo ple-abandoned their opposition to the compromise, and taken their stand in the ranks : and ’ the Union is really desirous for the ascendancy of the democratic party and democratic principles in tho south, it will surety cease Its censures and rebukes of such met as Davis and McDonald, and discontinue its aid in behal* ol the Union party—which everybody here understands as the old fedora! whig party—the Fillmore and Webster party in disguise. The matter with us ! reduced simply to this, The democratic party, under its proper name, must organise and hold the ascendancy, or the whig party, under th,, new name of “Union,” must supplant it and prevail. Which will tho Union aid ? Dkath oi” Mtt. Lkvisox.—We regret to learn from the New Orleans papers that Francis M.

Gazette, understood to be Mr. Toombs’ organ, ha* put forth a Ukase settling Judge Berrien’* ca*e with the “Constitu tional Union’’ party, so far as the Sc-natorship is concerned. He is to be proscribed. Tho Bill of Indictment, judgment and seuteuoo are all sum med up as follows ; ‘We it wish dlstlnetly to be understood, injustice to our Judgment and feelings in this issue between Judge Rer rien and the people of Georgia, that we design no reflec tion upon his personal integrity, tiis patriotism, or his loyalty and devotion to the Union. We do complain, though, of his extraordinary silence when he, above all others, should have been heard. We complain of his neutrality, to say the least, at ntime when no true friend of the Union should have been found unclad in the armor of war. We complain that, throughout the iate crisis of onr destiny, the friends of the Union had to struggle un aided by the power of his strong arm and the influence of his high position, while he remained silent under the boasts of its enemies that that power and influence were enlisted in their cause. Our cause for dissatisfaction is just, and Judge Berrien cannot complain that the Union parly of Georgia should desire to be represented t>v an other equally loyal to the government with himself, and who. unlike him, has shared their hardships and their fortunes in the fiery struggles of tlie past.” ! To be suspected of being on the able of the ; South is enough. No doubt, says the Gazette 1 about Judge B.’s “ personal integrity, patriotism \ anil loyalty to the Union,” but he didn’t bawl i out strong enough on the Northern side; he didn’t j do what the Georgia Convention refused to tin, |to wit: praise the Compromise as “ wise, liberal ; and just bo did not “share’ the hardships and | fiery struggles” of fighting the masked battery ! I So, “ off with his head.” We advise Judge Berrien to join the Democra cy. Wliiggery lias cut him, an 1 installed new i idols in his place, such ao Cobb and Foote. I LATER FROM CALIFORNIA, j The Steamer Georgia arrived at Now Or i leans on the 6th inst. She brought 400 p.as : sengers .and $78,000 in gold dust, i The accounts from tli it Statu are of the | most shocking and terrible character —rnurd- j ers, robberies, thefts, mobs, lyneh-law, &c.. were the supreme order of the day. The fol ! lowing is but a specimen of many others oj j lhe “same sort” in different parts of the coun try. We copy from tliu Alta California of lbs Ist ult: “Events of more than common magnitude have filled up the brief period which has elap sed since the departure of our Atlantic mails. The eitv of Sin Francisco has been convulsed with e tcitoments. Never within the recollec tion of any of our citizens, have such stirring, fearful scenes been witnessed, occupying so brief a space in the chronicle of the times, and I never h ive the troubles of excitement and I passion boat higher, or followed faster, one j upon the other, than in this community, since j the ifitli ult. Shortly after the departure of that day, the newspapers were fiiled with the revolutions of crime, wrung from the two prisoners, Whit taker and McKenzie, who were in the custody of the Committee of Vigilance, and who, it was reported, had been adjudged guilty and deserving of death. Their confessions impli cated a number of men in this country, who had previously enjoyed a high reputation.— About the 21st before daybreak, a party of individuals, among whom were the Governor of the State, and Sheriff H iys of this county, obtained access to the committee chambers, and the sheriff entering, seized the two pris oners before the sleeping guards could be aroused, and bore them off to the county pri son,having previously obtained a writ of habeas corpus with which to execute the duties of his office. For this act, Gov. McDougal was long, loudly and justly censured by the press and by the people. His proclamation was al so treated with contempt. On Sunday, 24th ult. the city was startled by the peak of the Vigilance, bell, and before the excited multitude could concentrate at any point, to impede or promote action, a car riage had dashed through the principal streets and conv eyed the two prisoners again into the hands of the committee, at their Chamb ers.

Mr. Editor —lt is the province of a good “eneral whether in defeat or victory, to sur ■ ev the battle-field after the clangor of arms -i over, and gather from the past, material to mprovo tho future. If he be a victor sur eying his conquest, it is his duty to make mod the earliest moments to improve the Vuits of victory: if lie be vanquished ho is hen to turn to the past for the errors which i-ne caused his defeat that they maybe avoid d for the future. And again in defeat or ictory he rnay pause to sen if there is more ’o be won or battled for, and so choose be -■•veen a cessation of arms and continued con Jet. A similar duty devolves at present upon the Southern Rights partv. A Waterloo defeat ias been theirs, and the question is. shall they ■ield to the fates that are against them, or hall they war on to the last? To determine his question it is necessary to recur to the ‘omineneotncnt of tho struggle which is just •ver and see how the Southern Rights party wrung into existence, what causes have kept •tn its organization to the present time, and vhether there remains anything upon which ‘t shall act for the future? The acquisition of boundless Territories conquered by the Wood and treasure, mostly of the South, opened ns they supposed a wide and profitable field for slave labor, an oppor tunity for its diversity which would benefit all classes, as well the slaveholder as non slavedolder. Tho attempt to organize these Territories according to the custom of our fathers, was met by fanatical opposition from the entire whig party of tho North and a por tion of tho Northern Democracy, who insist ed upon the interpolation of a clause in tho Territorial bills known as the Wilmot Provi so, whereby tho South would be excluded from any participation in the newly acquired Territories. This -degradation—for in such light in addition to its injustieo, it was viewed by all parties South,—was met by the united opposition of both the whig and democrat par ties of this section, and almost every leading politician of either party sounded tho alarm and called upon their respective constituen cies to resist this attempt to deprive the South of her equality in the confederation. Partisans united who had been antagonists for years and met at Nashville to determine the mode and measure of redross—democrats .and whigs met there, irrespective of political differences, to make preparation for maintaining the rights of the South to an equal participation in tlie Territories—all went on harmoniously, until measures of Compromise were proposed by Mr. Clay,’ which were eventually carried through and which ia a different nianuer pro ducted the same results, to-wit: tho ex clusion of the South from all the Mexican Territories. While theso measures were pen ding the great body of the Democratic party of Georgia and a respectable minority of the whigs formed themselves into a party by the name of the Southern Rights Party. Its ob ject was to unite the South in opposition to the measures of compromise, feeling confi dent that if they could unites majority of both parties at the South in opposition to these measures that they would not pass the Congress of the United States, and that measures containing some ingredients of equality if not strict justice, would he adopted in their stead. Unfortunately on the proprie ty of this course a difference of opinion exist ed and an opposition party arose under the name of tho Constitutional, Union Party, who by at first exciting tho fears of the people, and misrepresenting tho Southern Rights Party as Disunionists, and afterwards advo cating the compromise measures as a triumph on the part of ths South, have so changed public sentiment as to obtain from the people of Georgia by a majority of some 16,000 votes a vord'ct of “fair liberal and just” upon the very measures which under a different name less than two years ago ivcrc deemed “ tyran. nie.nl, oppressive and degrading.” This being a simple and condensed rela tion of the facts, for what purpose shall the Southern Rights party keep up its organiza tion? Not to redress wrongs, for Georgia to whose voice the democratic portion at least of tho Southern Rights p.artr must yield, has decid ed upon two occasions by overwhelming ma jorities, either that no wrongs have been com mitted, or at least that they are not so great but th it ac juieseeaca th irein becomes a vir tue. Shall w? kn npthe organization of the Southern Rights party to redress further aggressions that may or may not bo commit ted at some future time? Surely not, for the Constitutional Union party to w hom wo are opposed are equally committed upon that point, and there can he no doubt but thM these aggressions will be less apt to happen with the united front of Georgia in opposition than they would be., were we to continue s separate organization which might he misinter preted .at the North, and create nn impression that the Constitutional Union party, the mi. joritv of the State, had abandoned the points of resistance laid down in the Georgia Plat form. It seems to that this would b- the only construe .ion that th -a North could place , npon the continued organization of two par ties—it would scarcely occur to them that wc were, .agreed in opinion, and yot .acting in opposition to each other. With these views it occnrs to me that the duty of the Southern Rights party, at some sacrifice of pride, is to acknowledge that a change has been effected in the opinions of the people of Georgia, a majority having de termined that the compromise measures ere not wrongs to be redressed, and that th# pur pose for which the Southern Rights party was organized no longer existing ia the opinion of a majority of the people of Georgia, it is their duty toeease all further opposition to the compromise measures, holding themselves in readines at all times to co-operate With their fellow-citizens to resist any and all eu ■, eroachments which may hereafter b© made np #n the rights of tho Smith. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 21, .851. If the Southern Rights party is disorgan ized, the next question is to consider w hut will be the duty of its members. I shall in a future number show that they will consult their duty by allying themselves with that national party in connection with which they can most reasonably hope to avert the evils which the farther agitation of slave ry will induce, and that with this end in view they will necessarily uniw.i with th? N M->n al Democratic party, to -rhi -h in >:t us th m belonged before the org mi; iti in >'fths South ern Rights party, and to which ihj whole State ought to return since the aliianco of the National Whig party with abolitionism precludes from that quarter all hope of con servatism.

ImportantANNOUNCEMENr.-The South ern Press, received last night contains, in the first of the following paragraphs, an announcement of the highest impor tance to the Merchants and Planters, and indeed all classes of the South.— The question arises, shall our people avail themselves of the offer now about to be made to them. Can they hesitate. Most sincerely we hope not. The Planter's Convention at Ma con.—We u iderstand that Mr. Baylor, our consul tor Amsterdam, and who is in this cou itry on leave of temporary absence, will attend the Macon Conven tion of Planters on the 2Gth, and that hr is authorized by merchants and capital ists of Amsterdam to tender to Southern planters ancf merchants ample cash ad vances, at a low rate of interest, on di rect shipments of cotton to that port, and also to guarantee at least the market prices of Liverpool. We think this atfords an excellent opportunity for the establishment of a direct trade between the Southern ports and those of continental Europe It is the interest and policy of the South to decentralize the cotton trade—to dif!use it over the various markets of Europe, and to avert as much as possible the costs and charges of needless tranship ments. It is peculiarly important in another aspect. England lias of late years giv en a good deal of aid and comfort to abolition. Her Westlndia policy proves her antagonism to African slavery and her intervention in Cuba shows it still more, to say nothing of the money ac tually remitted hv her anti slavery so cieties, to promote abolition in this country. Hence it becomes important or the Soulli to foster the cotton mani tufacture of the continent of Europe, so as not to be dependent either on Old or New England. Iftlie Ams erdarn mer chants will afford equal facilities to cot ton producers and cotton dealers, let Amsterdam have the preference to the extent of her demand for her own and heri uteriorconsumption. The Truth Coming Out The Washington papers publish the follow ing letter of Can. Scott, who was “written to some months since, by a gentleman of Penn sylvania. ut the request of eight members of of the. State Senate, addressing him as the un i doubted Whig candidate for the Presidency, ’ and requesting his opinions upon the various political questions which have agitated the country.” As the. New York Express says, the letter is “characteristic”—for there is no other man prominently named for the Presi dency, who would have written a letter so af fectedly sprawled out. like the counts in a bill of indictment. We stated the other day that we had been positively informed that Gen. Scott was under a pledge, to Seward to write no public letter expressing his opinions on subjects of “grave public interest”—the policy being, as in tie’ case of Gen. Taylor, to get votes North and South, by vague rep j rssentations of bis advocates in each section. The following letter comes in to confirm the same viev. —for Gen. Scott, in the language of the Republic, “refers so his past life and liis character for his oni n ions,” and positively efiiscs to avow his sentiments on points of “ rave public interest.” Os course, there to i coming in such a questionable shape, he cuts himself from the support of the SSouth j ern Whig party, if their leading organs are to be believed. Does not th’ publication of this singular letter look as if the Fillmore men sought to produce some such affect?—[Rich mond Enquirer. Gen. Scott.—The New York Express says—Gen. Scott, being written to some months since by a gentleman of Pennsylva nia, at the. request of eight members of the State Senate; addressing him as the undoub ted Whig candidate for the Presidency, and requesting his opinions on the various politi cal questions which have agitated the coun try, wrote the following characteristic letter a reply: Washington, March 26, 1851. Sir: I have received your letter, (marked ‘•confidential,”) in which after committing the error of supposing me to be “fully before the country as the Whig candidate for the Presi dency,” you proceed t<> interrogate me on ma ny points of grave public interest.

Q3~ The brig Rescue, companion of the Advance in the Arctic Expedition, has arriv ed at New York. The Countess of Lans field—Lola Montez. The European correspondent of the New \ ork Express speaks’as follows of this cele brity : “The most curious event of the week has been the debut of Countess de. Lansfieid—Lo -1.. Montez, (the final letter a and not an s) as a danseuse, before an audience of about two hundred invited guests, at the Salle Ma bille. After a long quiescence, this extraor dinary woman is about to set forth again on anew knight-errantry of adventure. She dances at Rouen, Havre, perhaps at Paris, and thence starts for the New World,* there to exercise her new profession. The above mentioned performance was preliminary to this car er. The persons present comprised most of the critics and literati of Paris, with a sprinkling of ladies and strangers. The dances she has practiced are six in number, though on this occasion she only executed three—a Bavarian, Hungarian, and Spanish dance. Her drosses were in exquisite taste, and her appear nice was that of a spirited, hand some woman of 19 or 20, though she has en tered her 28th year, having been born in St villein 1823. Her face is very like the por traits of her, with a wide forehead, betoken ‘ ing powerful intellect, combined with aeliiu, mouth, and teeth, exceedingly juvenile. If I mistake not, this contradictory physiog nomy is an index to her character, for it be speaks at once that commanding intelligence, and that fickleness of design, which have marked and governed her career; “which have made her at one time the baffler of.Metternich and the ruler of the king and court of Munich and at another the roving ballot-dancer over half the continent. Her eye of gray, tinged with blue, is the leading feature of her coun tenance, and when once seen is never forgot ton. It is very large, filling a prodigious soc ket. and seems, in its Hashes, to become all pupil. No one who has observed this atten tively, can be at a loss to believe, what indeed is well known, that her power over the King ot Bavaria and his ministers, sustained for two years and a half, was wholly a triumph of intellect; and not the sorcery of a courte zan. The outline of the story of Lola Montez is well known, but. her real eharaeteris not gen erally understood. She is the centre, here, of a large circle of admiring friends, consist ing of the beaux esprits of Paris. She is a cherished member of the Artists’ Club, com posed of four hundred men of genius in eve ry line of art. Lola Montez speaks nine lan guage fluently. When the Nepaulese Prince was here, she was the only person in Paris wit h whom he could converse. She is famous for her daring and dashing eloquence in conver sation. Viewed as a man, with the latitude taken to themselves by the lords of creation, she would have claimed and won general ad miration: as a woman, she is. of course, ban ished from the greater part of the sisterhood, and finds what consolation she can in the so ciety open to her. She and her friends deny and denounce as false the gross libertinism imputed to her. How much of the irregula rities of her career may be explained and ex tenuated by the adversities of a life betrayed at the outset by a corrupt mother, and abase brutal husband, it is not for me to say. At, all events, while I make no apology for her, it is proper to state that those who know her ideelare her to be noble, generous, and unself sh, even to a degree of romance. lu3uran33 and .the Fire Annihilator. The following communication, says the N. Y. Tribune, is from the pen of a capitalist of this city, one of the shrewdest business men, a large owner of real estate, and, as he also himself avers, “a holder of insurance slocks for no inconsiderable amount,” in this goodly city. The remarks of such gentlemen are always entitled to serious at tention. VYali. Street, Sept 29, 1851. Messrs Editors of the Tribune ;1 Gentlemen—l am a holder of insurance stocks to no inconsiderable amount in this city, and am much interested in property of various kinds, all deeply affected by such a contingency as that of a conflagration. Os course, therefore, l have not been an inattentive observer of the progress of Phillips’ Fire Annihilator in this country, and of course I have been questioned, particularly in Wall street, over and over again, about the proba ble effect that the general use of the Annihilator would exercise upon the stocks of our Insurance Companii s. Some of our stockholders, in fact, seem quite alarmed upon this subject. But why ? I cannot participate in their apprehensions. And the rea son is simple as well as obvious. Supposing Phil lips’ Fire Annihilator to accomplish ail it proposes —supposing it capable of extinguishing a fire at its inception, and thus putting out of the category the chance, in future, of any great destruction of pro perty by the flames—supposing all this, and (as lion Elisha Whittlesey observes,) “ If human tes timony can be relied upon,” the supposition a quite legitimate, what must be tin-immediate effect? A reduction of the rates of insurance! Granted.— That is inevitable. But does it follow that the profits of the underwriters must be reduced in proportion ? Will not the diminution in the losses of the Insurance Companies handsomely afford a reduction so calculated to benefit the public! And will not the reduction of the rates of insurance in crease the demand for insurance—just as the re duction in the price of newspapers has multiplied tenfold the readers of newspapers, and just as the reduction in the .-ost of travel has made it difficult to find one man content to remain forever by h ; s own fireside ? Will not thousands insure at a re duced rate of insurance who cannot afford to, or do not insure at prt-sent prices, just as thousands now write letters every dav, under the cheap post age system, who rarely ventured upon a corres pond’ nee when postage ran so high 1 It seems to me. therefore, that the Annihilator can have none but a beneficial effect upon insur ance stock as well as upon real estate. Property of a'l kinds must enhance in value in proportion as it is exempted from the common perils of its nature, and in proportion to the cheapness with which that exemption can be purchased. Real estate, rendered more secure by the Annihilator, and the consequent facility with which it can be insured, will he worth more to its owners and the public : and the insurance offices, profitting bv the diminished average of destruction, as well as by the increased application for a popular, because cheap, system of insurance, will make greater divi dends with less risk. This is my view of the subject, and as it may interest many besides myself who have their means embarked in. enterprises affected by such a topic, be good enough to give this communication a place in the Tribune, and oblige. Yours, respectfully, isslxa.nce. What Next! —The Cincinati Nonpar iel says: ‘ By invitation ofMr. Wood, weyester day had the pleasure of witnessing Mr. McCromick’s experiment of walking on an inverted plane. The experiment was a private one, only a few persons being present, and was made under very disadvantageous circumstances, the preparations being necessarily in complete, and the health of Mr. Me- Lromick being somewhat feeble. The experiment, however, passed off to the entire satisfaction of all present. A heavy frame was erected, with a slab of marble nine feet at the top, the under surface being polished like a mirror.— We saw the experimenter mount his platform, and adjust his unwieldy boots; then, placing both feet against the sur face of the marble, he swung himself off with his head downwards. Diseon- nectmgonetootfrom the slab, and plac ing it firmly several inches in advance of the other, he continued the alternate movement till he had tajten ten steps, and arrived at the othef end of the slab. ‘ ‘ !‘We held our breath during ex periment, expecting mdfftebfanly’ ttrlt he would fall, but he Appeared Jo. walk as safely as a fly runs a rd'Rgthe'ceding. After his descent, however, we notieda that he was much exhausted, owing fa the excitement and exertion. The pub lic exhibition of this wonderful experi ment will take place at the Melodeon on Monday evening next.” From tlie South ru Press. The Letter of Ex-Vice President E alias. We publish this letter to-day. Mr. Dal las is well known all over the Union as a •fatesinan of long experience in public affairs, ■nd as one of the very ablest ineu in Penn sylvania. His admission of the failure of (he compromise is extorted from his candor—• for lie was warm supporter of that scheme —at least alter it was adopted. Mr Dallas is right in say ing that an amend ment of the Constitution would be the best mode of settling the slavery question, in ref erence to the federal government. But whilst almost every man in the N„rth must admit this, we are quite confident that not. one hi ten believes such an amendment possible or probable. They all know too well that tho power in the North which assails the South, is too st 1 ong to permit its own control thus to be taken away. And they know more than that—they know that if such a thing had boon practical before, it is no longer so, since the wide-spread display of submission that has been made in the South. If the Southern States had remained unit ed in their resolutions of 1848—49, the new territory would have been divided with some pretence to equity. If two or three Southern States had determined to resist the comprom ise at ail hazards and to the last extremity, the compromise even then would have been amended—tho Constitution might have beorf amended. But now tho peril of tho Union is greatest. The South has no further resource iu words, and that is of itself a catastrophe. Every man in the South must feel that there is no mode left for a Southern State to express it selfin language that would be respected at the North. It seems to ns that the submission States have arrived at that position. Ilence, when ever the time comes when aggression has ex hausted patience, there will be no words, there will be no opportunity for protest, for conference, for compromise. There will be acts. Now this is a dangerous state of things. This we strove to avert—and for this we were denounced as disunionists. We are much mistaken if it will not be found, if disunion comes, that the architects are of a quite diffkr* ent school. Difference Between Iron and Steel.— Steel is iron p issed through a process called cementation, the object of which is to impreg nate it with carbon. Carbon exists more abun dantly in charcoal than in any other fusible substance, and the smoke that goes up from the charcoal forge is carbon in a fluid state.— Now, if you can manage to eonfinethat smoko and put piece of iron into it for several days, and heat the iron at the same time, it will become steel. Heating the iron opens its pores, so that the smoke or carbon can en ter into it. The furnace for this purpose is a conical building of brick, in the middle of which ur* two troughs of brick or stone, which hold a bout four tons of bar iron. At the bottom is a large grate for the lire. A layer of char coal dust is put upon the bottom of tho troughs, then a layer of bar iron; and so on alternately, until the troughs are full.—• They’ are then covered over with clay,to keep out the air, which, if admitted, would prevent the cementation. Fire is then communicated to the wood and coal with which the furnace is filled, and continued until the conversion of iron into steel is completed, which gener ally happens in about eight or ten days. This is known by the blisters on the bars, which the workmen occasionally draw out to deter mine. When the conversion is completed, the fire is then left to go out, and the bars re main in the furnace about eight days more to cool. The bars of steel are then taken out, and either sold as blistered steel or drawn to a convenient size, when it is called lilted steel. German steel is made out of this blistered steel, by breaking the bars into short pieces and welding them together, drawing them down to a proper size for use. New York Money Market. —The Jour nal of Commerce of Thursday evening 9th inst, says: “There was a little feverishness in the mar ket early in the morning, but it has mostly passed away, and the regular business ot tha day has been uninterrupted. The banks with larger receipts are able to discount more for their regular customers, and prime paper is selling more readily in the street, although at very high rates. A statement in a morning paper that it house engaged in the linen trade had been detected in illegal entries of goods at the Cus tom House, has no foundation in truth. No such difficulty has occurred. The rumor pro bably grew out of the fact that a largeinvoica of linens had been vigorourly examined by the appraisers, who found everything about it strictly correct.
