Look ont from Murray Hill ono or there bright Oc tober mornings, and you may see acres upon acres of land divided Into Avenues and Streets, and covered over with hundreds and hundreds of new buildings. They are not mere teuemeuts which your eyes rest upon, but splendid edifices, many of them palaces, of brown stone and marble, or of beautiful brick with spacious porticos, rich cornices, elegant balconies, and every thing upon a scale of the most extensive and magnificent character. Their foundations rest fat beneath the surface of the earth, and they tower three, four, live and six Btores, above its surface. Borne of ‘ them have a front of thirty, forty, and fifty, and more feet, with a depth of fifty, sixty and seventy feet, and extensive rooms on all the stories of the most attrac tive, and to those who desire “ ample room and verge enough ”• to dwell in,amidst a crowded city, the most inviting proportions. In no other city in the United States, and in very few Europen cities, is so much money expended to erect showy buildings as there is in New York, and we presume that at least one thou sand aacb buildings are now in the course of erection on the Island. Down town one or two hundred thou sand dollars, are expended in lots for Banka, Insu rance Officers, Stores, Ac., and much of the lower part of the city, within a few years has been mata- morphoeed for that parpose, but np town the spare thousands and millions go into atone and mortar, and to an extent tbat sometimes makes ns think there is something too mnob of this. ir hair the money expeuded in adomiog the outside of a bouse, was expended in making it comfortable and convenient within, much better would it be for the health and happiness of tho inmates, and so, too, if half the money spent upon adorning the bodies of tho inmates were appropriated in improving the in tellects and hearts or the occupants, how vast would be tho incrcoso of knowledge, and how extended the charities and kindnesses ot the world. But the evil of so much external show rests not alone upon the 'goodly outside which falsehood bath.' A long train of consequences follow. The fifty, sev enty, ot ono hundred thousand dollars expended up on stone and mortar, often consumes tho entire means of the possessor. The investment is not in a house and home, but in pride and vanity. Mortgages exist to plague and wrong a man out of comfortable sleep by night, and pleasant thoughts by day. And in the course or nature ho dies, possessed of thousands in bouse and lands, with an estate which .must bo sacri ficed and sold, bocauso neither his widow nor his chil dren are able to retain it. The old or new bumestead goes into new hands, the old ocunpants go into hnm- bier dwellings, and pride and vanity reap their re ward, uot merely in the division and reduction of for tune, but in bad habits, evil passions, and a remem brance of tbe post—anything out grateful to the mem ory of the dead. Thus thousands live and die in New York, aod thus, too, year after year, fortunes are exr pended doing no good to any body but those who build houses and speculate upon other peoples' mise ries.— New York Express. An Incident In Harried Life. Sorae'thlrteen years since a couple ot loving ones were married a short distance from this city, and soon after tbo husband went to sea. A few months passed and tbe ybung wife received news tbat tbe ship which her husband bad sailed was lost at sea. and ail had perished. Tills report was subsequently corroborat ed. Timo rolled on, and after a lapse of Borne seven years tho widow married an industrious and hard working mechanic, who for a long time past,and still Is employed by a firm in Cornbill. This last marriage proved a very happy one to both parties, and matters passed between them pleasantly as ceuld be desired, until some days since, when, to their utmost surprise the first husband of the lady made his appearance claimed Ids wife. Legal counsel was consulted by both parties, and the result was, that tbo lady felt herself compelled to return to her first husband, ranch to the regret of the second, whose home is now deso late.—HoMon Journal. How a Pabtle Journal should be Conducted. The following paragraph expresses so justly and fully our ideas upon the manner in which a public journal dibonld be conducted, tbat we earnestly commend it to tbe perusal of onr readers: A press to be truly Independent must in tbe outset be intelligent—for a liberal and intelligent mind alone can lie Independent, because inch alone can bo dispassionate. It should view men and their actions through a dispassionate medium—approve or con demn npon tbe elevated grounds of truth, not through tbe distorted medium or prejudice, or ignorant as- ■amptlsn. Tbe idea tbat it requires Independence to condemn this or tbat rice, is one of the moat singu lar hallucinations tbat can get a bold In an editor’s brain. It degenerates Into tbe office of a common scold, and partakes much of tbe feeling tbat makes a coward fight for fear of being called a coward. Onr idea or an Independent press Is simply to give all tbe news—publish on all aides of all Important questions —give yonr own views fearlessly, candidly and truth fully—leaving tbe summing up to tbe puhlio—whose common sense is always better than tbe opinions of a self-laudatory independence. .

It would bo well tor the people-the honest mi whose hearts are always with their oonntry—before joining a enuade to remove from office those now In power, to Inquire who are likely to be their succes sors? Granting that Messrs. PiiKon, Davis, Iiauoy and other members of tbo administration are Hot fenlUess, Is It likely that tho Whigs, if they anooeed In ejecting them, will pnt hotter men In their places ? If not, even those *wbo may not fully approve of the oonrse of the present administration, should hesitate to join an alllanoe for Its overthrow. Wo may form a pretty correct opinion as to the ebaraoter of the gentlemen from the North, with whom our opponents would displace Pmoi, Manor, Cushino, Camfbkll and MoClslland, by looking at the position of the candidates whom they are bring ing forward for high State offico In that portion of the Union. Let us glance at New York and see whom the Whigs are there running. The Boston Post sketches the characters of the Whig nominees in that great State. Look, says tbe Post, at the ticket: ' M It ts beaded by Leavenworth. He li not only one of ll>* most devoted of the friends of Sswsrd^bnt never did free- seller or craxy Garrison abolitionists of Massachusetts do more eOelent abolition service. He was a leader In tbe fa- uona rescue of the fugitive Jerry at Syracuse, and thus he openly, arrayed himself against the constitution and laws of hts country. • • V . “Tlia next on the ticket Is James 14. Cook, and the/e Is no more deelded fiewtid man in'*11 New York 8tato 1 And in the Influential ofai of Comptroller, he would have the power, as ho has the will, to promote the Seward Interest. So wo might go through. Spaulding Is next on the list, and he, too, Is 8eward; Kirkpatrick is Seward; Gardiner (a Seward; and thus Seward runs through the whole concern —one only excepted, Geoi-go Wood, who is pronounced the only Union whig on the list! He Is nominated for Judge, with no cManct wkatmxr of an election, who, says the N. Y. Repress, ‘ no doubt, waa put on to swear by—that there was felr play—union and harmony. A beautiful batch! And yet prostrate the admin istration of Gen. Plum, oud just such men aa these aro to be tbo successors of himself and hia friends from tho North. Is it wonderful that tbo patriotic among the American people shrink back from such a consummation ? Is it wondorful tbat they should, without any nice luquiry os to tho relativo claims of those who havo received and thpse who failed to get office under Pibuob, be found in all tho States rally ing to bis support, when they know tbat his defeat will, in the end, be the triumph of the Sewardites and Skwabd’8 principles ? For much as tho Whigs of certain localities and States may dislike Skwahd, it is clear that if Pibrok and tho Democratic party arc fumed out, Sewakd and tho Soward party must come in. Thus jndging, oven did wo seo much less to com mend in tbe present administration than we do, we should feel bound to sustain it. We would sooner *• bear the ills wo have than fly to others tbat we know not of or rather, that tee do knrno of. But for ourselves, wo rejoino to be able to say that there bos never been an administration since wo were interested in politics whose beginnings wo so thorough ly approve as that of Gen. Pierce. From the day of his nomination—posted up as wo then were in his history—until now,our confidence in bis patriotism and capacity has never wavered for an hour. We believed then that he would make—we believe, even more implicitly now, that he is making an excellent President. Bo believing, we are for him, let who may be against him. Got. IX. V. Johnson. On the arrival of the intelligence at Milledgcvillo that Judge Johnson was elected, a large number of the citizens of that piaco waited upon him in a pro cession to congratulate him on bis triumph. His re sponse is reported in the Federal Union. It is equally honorable to his head and his heart. In one respect we think be concedes too mnch—at least by implica tion. It is when he speaks of the severity with which the merits of tho two candidates were discussed during the canvass by the press. As regards Judgo John son, it is true that his claims were discussed with se verity, and with more than severity—with the most discreditable abusiveueas and scurrility—by the Whig papers. But not so as regards Mr. Jenzinb. To wards him the tono of tbo Doraooratio presses—as suredly, that of our own and moist ’of the rest—was uniformly respectful. While leading Whig prints were ridiculing Judgo Johnson as a " Swedenbour- gian,” “ Spirit Rapper and Table Turner,” we do not recollect a single offensive personality brought te bear by Democratic journals against Mr. Jenkins.— We are confident tbat we are not claiming too much for ourselves and our cotcinporarics of the same faith, when we assert that the courao of tha Democratic pa pers towards Mr. Jbnkins, was in striking and admi rable contrast with tbat of tho Whigs towards Mr. Johnson. But we are kecplngour readers too long , from the eloquent remarks to which we have alluded : Gentlemen : I am pleased to see so many of you to-night. As inyfriends and neighbors, you are here to offer your congratulations on the result of the lato election for Governor. This manifestation is the vol untary and spontaneous offering of those among whom I live, and who know me as a neighbor and fellow-citizen. Accept, Gentlemen,my hearty thinks for the pleasure you exhibit Tor my election to tho Executive Chair of our beloved State. As intelligent lreemen.yonr rejoicing implies some thing more than gratification for my mure personal elevation. With tbe masses of the poople,of whom you are a portion, the success ur defeat of anyone individual is a matter of small moment. It is insig nificant, when woighed in the balance with tbe great principles which were involved in the canvass. Your visit speaks yonr Joy for the asceudancv of Democra cy—its vindication at tbe ballot box—the popular ap proval and support of the Administration of Frank- lin Pierce. The real question was, whether the people of Georgia would " rebuke ” our President; array themselves in a sectional organized opposition to bis policy, or whether they wonltj, stand with the great National Democracy in its support, until it shall be fully developed and have a fair trial before tho oonn try. They havo deliberately chosen the latter posi tion and placed Georgia in compuuy with twenty- seven of tho other States of the Confederacy, which favor the Administration of Franklin Pierce. It is a proud spectacle, to see twenty-oigbt of tho thirty-one States of the Union, all stauiflng on the Democratic platform, and maintaining triumphantly the princi ples of Jefferson, Jackson and Polk. I congratulate you gentlemen, on the brilliant future which it opens up to our happy country. It betokens the prosperity, and the perpetuity of the Union. But, Gcntlemon, while we rejoice at the triumph of Democratio principles, let me beg you to discard from your bosoms, any feeling of vindictiveness to wards our opponents. It is unworthy of you os free men—It is unworthy of you as Democrats. They aro our fellow citizens, and the masses of them aro as honest aa wo are. in their opinions ; while we Indulge in the glories of victory, let us not forget to be mag nanimous te tbe vanquished. The contest wblohnaa just closed was one of un usual virulence. It has been conduoted, on both sides, with a fierce determination to conquer. The press has discussed, with unparalleled severity, tbe merits and demerits of both the Gubernatorial candi dates. But amidst all, it Is gratifying to me to know, tbat the kindly personal relations between me and my respected opponent have not suffered the slightest disturbance. Charles J. Jenkins is an amiable aud abte man. -We have traveled together through a large portion of upper Georgia. We have eaten and slept together, we have met each other In political debate ; and I have always found him courteous and frank in his bearing, and, it is with unfeigned pleas ure, that I state, that. in not a solitary instance, has be Indulged an unkind personal reflection. It was my purpose to reciprocate.at all tlmea, bis elevated end gentlemanly bearing ; and If I have said or done augbt to wound bis feelings, I am not aware of it. If I have, I take occasion. In this presence, And at my own bouse, to make tbe amende honorable. As ft could be no disgrace to bare been beaten by him, I esteem It tbe highest possible compliment, to be pre ferred to sack a man m Charles J. Jenkins.

The opposition press represented me in a light which made me more of a monitor than a man; and a monster too, with apodal antipathies to Union Democrats.

Tbe occasion, gentlemen, Is suggestive of many re flections touching tbe points and mode of altaox by which our Opponents have Industriously sought to do- feat my election. Of many of them, I will not trust myself to speak. They are so false in feet, and so unnneronsfn spirit, tbat I wU! not yield to the temp tation to speak of them aa they deserve. Bat their leading design stands out too prominently revealed, not to arrest tbe attention of tbe moot careless ob server of the progress of the canvass. That design wastaaedooe the Union Democrats,to abandon their cherished principles. It was only In this way, that they oould indulge a shadow of hope of success. For this purooee, two prnmlnont Ideas were constantly held op before their minds, and pressed with an ur- S noy worthy of » better cause. The first was. that e Conservative organisation was indispenslblo to tbe maintenance of the Georgia Platform, and synon ymous with that of tbo CoasUtotional Union party. Of this r I shall not speak. The trick was too inns- itn, Too comer si 1 ceremonies, and the wn» e|gplpP M m.poHJobl H iltors. There is much popular error on mo bud- ; of a parent's llabllty for tho debts of his sons ler age.

There Is another foot In this connection gentlemen, which Is not only gratifying bnt hopeful. It Is this s Although these Union Democrats did uot vote for your candidate,yet it is evident they did not vote for Mr. Jenkins. If they had, bo wonld have been elec ted by a large majority. This proves that, in with holding from me their votes, they did not intend to abandon their Democratio principles. Thoy Sre De mocrats still, and they will yet rally upon our ancient platform, when tiips shall have swept away tbo dust and the smoke of tbe contest, which: have darkened temporarily, the path uf duty, so that they could not. see their way clearly before ihom. Let ns then, In dulge towards them no ankindness. They aro oar political brethren still; and let us show onr own fra ternal feelings, by conciliatory, genorous and just ac tion. Such a policy, universally adopted and steadi ly pursued by onr peoplo and tbe Legislature, soon to assemble will, consolidate tbe whole Democracy or Georgia, and place it npon a position aa impreguable I should feel guilty of Ingratitude, were I to pre- mlt, on this occaaion.au acknowledgement of the heavy debt we owe to onr Southern Rights and Union Whig brethren, for tbe effectual aid which they have, given us, In tho late canvass. Feeling that our policy I" the soundest, tbat tho National Democracy offers tbe safest security for tbe Rights of the South, and tbat General Pierce will prove true to the Consti tution and tho Union, they have not hesitated to cast their lots with us. Their patriotism is stronger than party ties, and rising superior to prejudices, they are not ashamed ot our name. We bid them welcome with gratcfrl hearts, into the unterrified ranks of De mocracy. I rejoice, gentlemen, at the re-union of tho Demo cratio party. I rejoico in its recent triumphs. May the spirit of discord no more invade it. May the Bcliisms and asperities of the past be all forgotten ; and tho ocean of popular feeling, having been calmed, may its surface, like a polished mirror, ever reflect the silvery beams of perpetual peace. Growtb and Business of Savannah, Never iu the history of any Southern City has a more prosperous growtb been enjoyed than by Savan nah at this time. Within tho year past spacious and tasteful places of business aud dwellings lmve been erected in various parte of the city 1-white old build ings have been re-modled, giving them all the con venience and beauty of modern times. The several tenements on Bull-street, extending from Congress to Broughton, nro now being vacated, preparatory to demolition and the erection of the now hotel. Forty per cent, on the capital stock of the Company has been called for, payable on or before this day (the 20tb.) The occupants of the building on tho South west corner of Bull and Brouglitou-streets are about vacating, and an elegant structure of brick, for busi ness purposes, is to take the piaco of the venerable wooden fabric, which in years gone by was not only an ornament to its neighborhood but to tbe city. What was but two and threo years since kuown os " the. Commons" is now tho court end of town ; stately brick dwellings, “ with all tho modem improve’ ments," as the New Yorkers say (for marble mantels, grates, ranges, water and gas are ail enjoyed) occupy the ground. Turn whichever way wo will tho most unmistakable evidences of thrift and general proeperi ty greet the view. Onr wharves are enlivened by almost constantly discharging cargoes of merchandize; wholesale, retail, forwarding, commission and ship ping morchante are full of business; our mechanics are overrun with work, for which they aro prompt ly and liberally paid; in a word all departments of Industry “ stick out wi’h fatness," almost literally proving this a laud flowing with milk aud honey, as it truly is ono in which grows tho olive and the pnmegrauate. Judging from tbe past and the indications of the present, it is not too much to bolievc that our city in extent and population will more than double within tbo next ten years. Let tbe same liberal foresight be continued wbich for the past few years bas character ized our people, and we may justly claim ono of the most important, as wo now do ono of the most pros perous, cities in tbo Union. Another Volunteer Gone^-Thomas Piobon, a gallant member of tho Irish Jasjier Greens, iu tho Mexican war, died in this city Wednsday. Ho was es teemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances os a brave soldier and an honest roan. At the time of his death he held a subordinate situation iu the CuBtom House, and was also a member of tho Night police. Ho leaves a wife and two small children worthy tho charitable consideration of bis late com panions in arms and others who should care for the widow and the orphan.

The Louisville Democrat stated some time since, tbat tho administrator* of Robert Rantool, Jr., had received the enormous sum of $350,000, for his share in the Illinois Central Railroad. To this tbe Chicago Democrat replies: The administrators of Mr. Banioul have not re ceived one dollar from the Illinois Central Railroad C °As P one'of the corporators, Mr. Bantonl had one twelfth of the capital stock of the Illinois Centre! Railroad Company. He died insolvent, and bis right to tbe first million of the capital stock of the com pany bod become extinct, under a mortgage that his friends knew nothing of until too late. The family lost their rights, and this was the first psrtlcle of •took that ever passed from the corporators. When the capital stock was Increased, the question arose who should have Ur.

"Oh,well.”says the old gentleman, " I always leavo that to the bride groom ; as be feels ho pays.” “ Woll, I don’t want to be mean, Mr. Streeter, about tnis affair, you know- I don't care a cent, by Ned! what you charge; only tell how much would be right ?” “I'm not particul lar, sir, so suppose we say flvo dollars.” " Five do- larsl Sam Hill,but you do stick it on! Why,I know of a feller you married last fail for two dollars.” " Very likely, sir,” said the old gentleman, " I did, but he’s a regular customer. I’ve married him five times, and can afford to do it lower.” Cure for the Croup, Dr. Forbes, of Boston, relates,in a late number of the Medical Journal, a case iu which a severe attack of croup wua cured by the application of sponges, wrung nut of hot water, to the throat, together with water treatment, which ho describes as follows: " Soon after making the first application of spon ges to the throat, I wrapped the child in a woolen blanket, wrung out of warth water, as a substitute for a warm, bath, and gavo twenty drops of the wiue of antimony ini-little sweetened water,which slio swallowed wlthwlffloulty. T persevered in the appli cation of the hot, moist sponges for an hour, when the child was so much relle leave it. '•These applications were continued through the night, and in tho morning the child was well.” It will never do to trific with this terrible dis The quicker tho remedies arc applied the better. In stead ofantimony^we would recommend small quan tities of alum water, given every ten or fifteen min utes, until the child vomits. The messago or Gov. Campbell, which in concluded In to-day's issue, gives a Uattering picture ol general prosperity in our State, and exhibits a healthy condi tion of tho fimiuccs. The operation of the internal Improvement Law, bo far as applies to the granting of Slate aid to particular works, is believed to lmve been salutary in its operation, and its application to other works not included iu tho original bill, is re commended. The various charitable institutions are shown to be iu a flourishing condition, and to answer the expectations entertained of them by their projec tors, and appropriations aro recommended to enlarge and oxtenu their efficiency. The suggestions of tue Governor iu referenco to the classification and pun ishment of criminals are excellent, nod we hope to see them acted upon. Also in reference to the State geologist; tho Legislature should have no hesitancy in creuting such an office, and providing » salary that would enable a competent person to devote his whole services to making a competent goological explora tion of tbo whole State. Ilad this been done years ago, Tcnnesseelvould now hold a different rank iu point of mineral wealth from what she docB. Gov. Campbell retires, wo believe, with the good wishes of all.—Chalnanooga Adv, 15th. Jenny Lind Goldschmidt.—This esteomed lady baa written a letter to a lady of Dr. Cox’s congrega tion, Brooklyn, N.Y., in which she feelingly denier the scandal that was bruited abroad in relation to disagreements between herself and husband. Dr. Cox says: Her reelings have been deeply wounded by tho sto ry that her husband is unkind to her, inconsidorato, reckless, and evon cruel. Not to examine such re ports, it is enough for tno to say, that, horself being witness and judgo, they aro all totally false ; that every envy and malaco, or foolish loquacity coupled with ignorance, invented thcmal! : that nothing but tho diametrical revereo is true of her " dear Otto;” that no woman In tho world has more reason to bo grateful to God for her husband ; and that no man in tbe world could be a more delicate and complete pat tern of conjugal touderucas, consideration and affeo- tion. This is but a brief epitome of wbat, with full heart, she writes to her frleud aforesaid. She writes indeed plainly, without reserve, aud without affeo- tutiou ; but not without sensibility, at once stung and virtaously indignant. The following is of German origin, and has been published hundreds of times. But as an item of infor mation to the Bingle men of America it never can bo published too often: "Who marries for love takes a wife; who marries for convenience takes a mistress; who marries for consideration takes a lady. You have a wife for your self, a mistress for your house aud friends, n lady for the world, Your wife will agree with yon, yonr mis tress accommodate you, your lady will manage yon. Your wire will take care of your household, your mis tress of your house, your lady of appearance. If yon aro sick yonr wife will nurse you, your mUtress visit you, and your lady will Inquire after your health. You take a walk with your wife, a ride with your mistress, and join parties with your lady. Your wife will share your gner, your mistress your mouey, and your lady yonr debts. If you are dead your wife will shod tears, your mistress lament, and yonr lady wear mourning." Tho weather begins to assume quite a wintry as pect. For the last few days, the '* old boI ” bas his hid his smiling face behind driving clouds, charged at times with wind and storm. Geuta appear in our streets clad In woolens and heavy over-coats, and ladies in that ever convenient blanket shawl. The busy woodsawyer in the street, tbe drays freighted with newly purchased stoves, store windows and tail or shop doors, ail indicate tbat winter, with its froct and ice and snow is rapidly drawing on. A few more weeks will pass by and its « whitened head ” will be upon us. Then comes those " merry times," so generally hailed,of friends’ gifts and New Year’s calls, ofevening parties and the Joyful dance, and those cqzy rides with mtiffled robes and Jingling bells.
