Fm T rade.amf”blrect Taxation.
The Mooon Messenger (American) is out in
fhvorof Free Trade and direct taxation, to
support tho general government. Says its edi
tor : "Wo heard Gen. Bethuue’s great speech,
in lb* late Convention, with interest. Some of
his views were, to our mind, both sound and
weighty. That his recommendations aro im
practicable, ia^ the principal objection urged
against them. We believe that the more the
question of direct taxation is studied and can*
, the more popular will it become with the
Wall Street Gambling.
The Albany Journal in its comments upon
the failure of Jacob Littlo takes occasion to
draw for Its readers tho following frightful
though it la to bo feared faithful pioturo of
Wall street gambling and its influence upon
the country: • '
No timo can be better than the present to
call tho public attention to tho great evil, whoso
seat and ccntro is Wall stroot. Tho whole Stato
of Now York is interested in tho gambling in
luture values, which is so mightily carried on In
that locality. Tho worth of a large portion of
thb acquired earnings of our oitirms is con
stantly disturbed there. Hundreds of millions
of dollars of property weekly experience do-
rcclutlonby the arts of men whoso vocation
. i to play with it, as gamesters play with cards.
By a force which is at present Irresistible, the
Block Exchange compels to its own daily mea
sures or value, the worth of all the shares in
tiio State which are quoted at its board.
'Thirty million dollars of tho stocks and so-
enritiea of tho greatest of the American ml
roads may bo owned by thirty thousand differ
eht women, retired merchants, orphan chil
dren, and public charities. Not oue dollar of
either may * - —
street.
at will
the subject of sales wholly imaginery. and in
^hich no property passes, but those pricos rule
tyrannically throughout this State and tho re
public. A stock which pays eight per cunt,
and is fully oonflded in by all who own it, and
should command quickly at least one hundred
cents on the dollar, is firmly held down to
eighty three cents by one bold man’s steady
ofl’eriugsjo deliver it at a future day at those
figures. For al 1 ihe purpose of exchange or of
Security, a depreciation may be sustained by
the bona tide owners of the corporate property
we have named within a few days’ time, of
6ver fl vo millions of dollars.
I No stock largo enough to offer a basis of
ppemtions can be. saved from this devourlnf
gambling hell. As the Bcrip is never used
and ucver needed—as ouly tho differences be
tween tho betted present aud future values are
paid—stock which is under lock and key in
New England may have-to relcuso its worth,
and allow it to bo fiugercti and passed from
baud to band in Wall street—like the ivory
"chips” at tbo rouge et noir tables of Baden.—
'Aud tho bulk of tho transactions on the share
exchanges are us purely gambling as is the
betting on faro, on roulette, or on the timo of
u race horse. Tho tricks and knaveries known
to the course, and to the vile vocations of
throwing dice aud dealing curds, have their
: full counterparts in stock gumbling. The souls
of meu uro lost in it full us oasily as their for
tunes.
' To tho inquiry, "What is the effect upon a
great mercantile commucityof a system such
as we have briefly sketched?” the rule of
Schuyler and the crimes of Huntington, and
the feverishness and social competition aud
voluptuousness of much of New York life, make
partial reply. Tho gambling of Wall street is
contagious. Time sales have now transcended
the shore market, and bave£une where games
ters never till recently dared intrude. PTg iron
U sold on time, the difference in valuo ouly to
be delivered—the metal ucver. Flour is so
sold, not a barrel being in hand. So with beef,
and pork, and corn, aud wheat, aud cottou, and
sugar. Their future vulues are betted on, and
men engogo to deliver them in quantities which
are neverlooked for, and indeed do not exist.
This substitution of chance for mercantile fore
thought has its natural uud vicious harvest.
Losses, embarrassment, aud bankruptcy of for
tune and of character go in its wuke, as inevi
tably os poverty and rags follow dicing.
From this broker’s Board lias breathed upon
the city and State of New York u spirit of
speculation and gambling which is frightfully
contagious and frightfully corruptive. Industry
andecoumyand integrity are no longer our
Bole basis of commercial prosperity. Men are
in hot haste to get rich. Tho gambler’s vices
of prodigality anddispluy are last becoming
the characteristics of sociul life in the great
city of America. Honor and honesty are re
laxing their holds on tho minds of men. Crimes
of acquisitiveness and breaches of commercial
trust grow frequent with us, and tho social
judgoment and social punishment of them
grow lenient. Success more and more becomes
tho measure of right and wrong.
American life and habits.— Lord Bacon
says children sweeten labor; but little use,
however plentiful the supply, do the Ameri
cans make of these sugar-plums of existence.
It is told of a Wall-street paterfamilias, that
having come, iu tho course of his rapid move
ments, accidentally upon his own child in the
arms of a uurse, he stopped, uud iu a sudden
paroxysm of tenderness, kissed the babe, and
uquired very considerately about its paternity
being totally unconscious of his own flesh ana
blood. Children, with us, are treated, so soon
as they are born, os posterity; just as if they
wero devoid of all contemporary interest. A
man’s friends, too in this country, are merely
counting hou3o acquaintances, aud hospitality
hardly expauds beyond an invitation to "Brisk
and Smart, No.—Pearl-street, bo glad to sec
you—always at home.” Brist aud Smart are,
indeed, always "at borne” in their stores, but
never in their houses. It is not our purposo
to inquire, just now, iiow far the Mrs. Smarts
and the Mrs. Brisks may be responsible tor
shutting the doors of hospitality in the faces
of their husbands’ friends. We have an opin
ion of our own, however, in regard to the ef
fect of the.fashionable pretensions of our dumes
We do not believe that the love of personal
display, which robs the larder to enrich the
parlor, aud shrinks the stomach to expend the
ekivt, is favorable to hospitality. We, moreo
ver, us wo never go to parties, but aro nlways
open to an invitation to u good dinner, pro
test against the practice of concentrating all
the surplus means of a household in the onu
great annual display of expense, in which—
that is, the expense, and not the dubious de
lights of the party—tbo husband, and perhaps
his friends, alone participate. The ball of the
season however, is tho town-talk, which, al
though it is at the cost of a whole year’s
household comfort and tho ruin of all geuial
hospitality, is worth the sacrillce, in tho opto
ion of the fashionablo wile.
Cotton Kstimatbs and Prices.—T.J.Stew' dlbUi’s riot from plantation, wi|h'W'«iink* rice,
urt & Co. of Now York in the oottoa circular *f ^ ^ u V. hl " u / .
last Saturday remark as follows upon the pro
babilities of. tho cotton crop and prices.
For the past fortnight the tendency of public
opinion has favored orop estimates of about
3,000,000 bales. Thera are uow few parties
disposed to wait on their purchases until tbo
receipts full off decidedly, and although there
s uo indication by the deliveries and - tho con*
tinued anxiety of planters to murkot their cropH
that tho seusou will terminate uudor that figure,
thorc is nevertheless a fixed idea now prevailing
with buyers, that it cannot vary much from that
quantity, and that speculation ones sturtud
will uutvy it to 8d, at Liverpool for Middling
grades: as tbo theory tbut the consumption re
quires that full umouut is a favorite oue, uud

tiro favorite “speculation there. "Whether"the
cron passes that figure, or lolls eventually a
little short of it, it is near enough for un ad-
, ustment of prices there, uud Ttere it is not

A Good Hit.—A llotliodist divine of this
city, on Sunday, administered a most severe
rebuko to a common custom in these days, of
reading advertisements from the pulpit. A pa
per was handed to him, giving notice that tho
introductory lecture of the annual course would
lie delivered on Monday night Ac., uta certain
medical institution iu this city. The preacher
said he had conscientious scruples against
cheating the printer, by makiugsuoh announce
ments from the pulpit; that he never heard
such advertisements read iu church, without
remitting him of the old deacon in Alexandria,
who, on a certain occasion, exhorted in most
earnest and vehement language the sinners iu
his congregation to ropeut, or they would all
go to hell os sure as there was flour for sale
at Alexandria, and he was sure there wob flour
there, for he bad received just the day before a
flue assortment, which bo would sell as cheap
as any man in the city.—Ohio Slateemun.
Death of Mrs. Commodore Conner.—We
learn with deep regret, that Mrs. Susau D. Con.
uer, the relict of the late Commodore Daivid
Conner,departed this life on the 3d of Novem
ber last, ut Torquay, Devonshire, England.
She lelt this.city in September iu feeble health
and after suffering with great severity she re
signed herself to her fate, aud breathed her
last away from her native Uud. Her two sens
were with her at the time. She was perfectly
calm and tranquill, and sank into the arms of
death with a full faith iu the realization of a
tlissful hereafter. Her body will be brought
to this city for interment.— Philadelphia In
quirer.
OrnsAT Snow Storm at the West.—A late
letter from tiriunell, Iowa, States that u brow
storm commenced at 3 'o’clock, P. Al., the 1st
inst., and lasted till noon on the 3d, and was
very severe. The snow was blown into the
buildings—hogs mere buried out of sight in
their pens—traveling was almost impossible
Many cattle were fairly driven by the severity
of the storm to a long distance from the set-
lenient, going helplessly before the wind. The
forms in the prane county are like storms ut
sea, the wiud blowing with uabrokeu vio
lence.

The Great Brume.—The construction of
the towers for the suspension bridge over the
Ohio at Cinoinnati is progressing. The tow
era are eighty-six bv thirty two feet at the
base, will be two hundred and thirty feet
high, and one thousand and six feet apart.—
The cables will be anchored three hundred
feet back on each side of the river, pass over
the tops of the towers, and thus be made to
sustain the weight of the bridge. Tho entire
span, therefore, will be sixteen hundred and
six feet—a little short of one-third of a mile.
Tho elevation of the floor at the middle, above
low water mark, will be one hundred and
twenty-two feet. The greut flood of 1832—
the highest on record—rose sixty-two feet
above low water; and making allowance even
for this, there will remain sixty feet.
Great Surgical Operation.—Dr. (/’amo
eban, of New York. has within a short time,
performed again his great operation for the
cure of neuralgia of the face, by exsccting the
entire trunk of tbe second branch of the fifth
pair of nerves, as far as the base of the skull.
The patient, a medical gentleman from one of
the southern States, had been a martyr to the
disease for a number of years. He is now do-
iug well.
A slave in Main.—Tho Bangor Journal
ays:
“Sorao time since, wennderstand, a sea cap
tain of Frankfort hired a slave in a southern
port to go to Bea with him in the capacity of
servant to himself and wife. The slave becom
ing strougly attached to them, he prevailed
upon them to purchase lfim, and he remains
with the lady at Frankfort, voluntarily os a
servant, taking care of the children, and
making himself us useful as lie has capacity
A novel team.—A New York paper says:
"The most decided novelty seen for a long
time was yesterday to be seen in tbe streets of
Brooklyn. It was a splendid team of moose
dear harnessed to a light wagon and travelling
at u very fair pace. The eccentric driver had
to ply the whip frequently to overcomo the
timidity of tbe animals, which otborwUe per
formed ull the functions of horses to a marvel.
Byron’s widow.—Lady Byron, widow of the
E oet, has, by tbe death of the incumbent, in-
erlted the title ot Baroness Wentworth.
WUl oar Republican neighbor make a note
of this?
The chief trouble in Gen. Iiethune’s way, ia
that Congress, controled by a Northern nume
rical majority, is not yet prepared, nor likely
to be at any early day, to adopt hla scheme.
The North Is opposed to it, and truly, accord
log to the General’s own showing, because she
tads her advantage in tbe present order of
thing*.
How shall we convert her ? By taking away
that advantage. And this can be done by in
augurating, through legal enactment as pro-
posed by Mr. Toombs, a new era of direct
Southern trade with Europe. When the re
turn cargoes for cotton, rite and tobacco, sent
abroad, shall be made to come directly to the
ports of tbs South, tbo North, losing tho com
mercial advantages of the tariff, wlU.loae much
of her interest in its maintenance.
Mr. Toombs plan then is we believe, the
nearest roata to direct taxation—though when
otrried ont with its magnificent results, it may
bsdonbted whether the South will feel the
same interest which she now feels in the aboli
tion of th* system of Custom House duties.
"Hor bugftar prido defrauds tier dally cheer.
To boadt one splendid banquet onco a year ”
Life is thus—whoever may bo to blame—de
prived of its natural enjoyments, aud the
American becomes nothing but a machine for
work. He, moreover, treats the mechauiim of
his own body with iullultely less consideration
than that of his stoam-ougino aud spinning
jenny. These are never strained beyond their
powers, aud ore carefully oiled, and occasion
ally stopped for repair. Brain and nerves’ are,
however, nlways ou tho stretch,and without a
single drop of the oil of gladness to softeula-
bor, ore kept to their work until they stop in
disease or death. This exclusive devotion to a
single object in life—and that object, which is
getting rich, of course, accompanied by those
fluctuations of profit aud loss which keep the
man of business in a continued ugony between
tear and hope—is expressly opposed to an abso
lute law of uuture, which requires for health
that tho occupations of the mind should be us
varied us its faculties.
Tho result is shown in the excitability which
is tbe characteristic of tbe fust-moving Ameri
can. Tiie bruin and nerves are stimulated to a
degree which soon wears them out, aud diverts
from the other paitsol the body that supply
of nervous energy which is essential to the
healthy performance of their functions. It is
to this exhaustion of nervous power that the
universal irritability and restlessness of our
people, which arc sure symptoms of weakness,
are to bo attributed. A forcigu medical ob
server, while travelling in tins country, re*,
marked that the ivholo uutUm seemed to bo
suffering from a paroxysm of St. Vitus’dunce.
The peculiarity of this disease is the ceaseless
and uncontrollable motion of tho limbs of the
who appears to be possessed of a de
sire of being in naif a dozen places at one and
the same moment of time.
The Necessity of Recreation—Gomes,
juyeties, sports, spectacles, there will be, a«
long us meu have limbs, or eyes, or ears. Tbe
'development here is as nuturul as it is iu the
arts. You might as well talk ol extirpating
music and painting, as of driving the common
amusements out of tbe world. Now, there arc
abuses of these things. Wlmt arc we to say
of tho abuses? "Let them crush down and
destroy the things themselves,” do we Bay ?—
But they cannot. Then let them be cut off.-
There is really nothing else to bo doue. Eli
vato, retlnc, purify tbe public amusements.—
Let religion reeoguize aud restraiu them. Let
it not, os is too common, drive them to license
and extravagance; but lot it throw around
them its gentle and.holy bonds, to make them
pure, cheerful, healthful—helpful to tbe great
onds of life. What a blessed thing for the
world were it, iI its amusements could thus be
rescued, redeemed, aud brought into the ser
vice of its virtue and piety I

TBSTIMONIALB.
• HARLsmoN, B. 0., Oct. 2itb, 1866.
Dear tilrIt affords me great pleasure to state
that besides tho excellent quality of your glasses,
the mlulscuK, or concavo-convex leu, allow
greater latitude in tho field or vision, and moro
ouse und comfort to the eye. Besidos these
advantages, 1 would also monlion your Improve
ment in the arrangement of the rrame, whioh I
think is well calculated to shut off those’rays of
light which canuol be brought within the axis Of
vision. Be this as it may, X nave no hesitation in
atUrmiug that your glasses afford me more comfort
thau any 1 have hitherto tried, and consequently I
cau recommend them with confidence to all wno
stand in need of such aid.
Vory respectfully, your ob’t servant,

say that they please mu better thau any 1 have
heretofore seen.

ABtuava; Oi., Nov. 2d, 1866.
I bavo examiued and am now Ublng a pair of Ihe
boautful crystallne, miniscu glasses, purchased
by Professor Gedeon. They are coutructed upon
strict y philosophical principles, and from several
couhiueiatlous.ureuot surpassed, if equalled, by
any I have ever seen.
The concave convex form or the lenses
bling tho exter or arrangement of the human eye,
collect? a 1*> gov number of rays than could be oon-
veyuu upon tbe retina from ot dinary glasses of tbe
same Uscal power, and thus increase the distinct-
iveneay of vision. The slxe of the glasses, also,
give a greater field of vision with less muscular
action. Iu short, the whole arrangement stems
admirably calculated to promote case and distinot-
ivuness of vision, and to preserve tbe healthy
function of that invaluable organ, the human eye

Mr. A. Geduun :—Dear Sir: I have tested thor
oughly, 1 think, tho Spec taoles purchased of you.
ana tako pleasure iu saying lam very much pleased
wi It thorn, l lound them decidedly more easy
and comfortable than any I have ever tried, I ex-
pcrlonco no fatlguo or drawing or the eyes, which
hadbeou the cose with all other glasses I have
usud: but, on tbe contrary, alter using them night
and day for some time, 1 experience no unpleas-
antnoss whatever.
I do not pretend to understand anything of the
scientific principles upon which they are construct
ed; but, (torn a practical use of them, I cheerfully
add my testimony to their superior quality.
