The Tidlcnte Journal publishes a table of the ntim -ber of wells in that district in the ytars 1872 and 1873. ■It shows that In January, 1872, there were 257; In August, the same year, there were 292; in August, -this year, £00, thus show’ng a decline of 92 In one year.

Unction between moral and mental science, and very little between ethics and etiquette. To them educa tion is morals. A cultured man is, in their view, of necessity a moral man. They say it is not polite to lie, to cheat, or to be angry. A first-class tenor in Hew York receives three t thousand dollars. That is given by Christ Church and other churches. A basso gets nearly the same sum. A soprano commands even a higher salary, . and an alto can manage to obtain quite a comfortable little addition to the week’s income.

Bullock and Blodgett will weep in sympathy.- Now let your tears be Shed. The Financial Clash in New York. General Austell has just returned from New York and gives us many interesting particulars of the financial crash in New York. He says that the trouble is confined exclusively to the dealers in railroad and other speculative stocks. The material business of the country is unassailed, and solid merchants are uninjured. There may be an occasional wounded man to give up the financial ghost, but he thinks the force of the.storm is broken, and things will begin to improve. He also argues ultimate benefit to the solid business of the country in the final reversion of the large amount of capital to the legitimate avenues of business that has so long been diverted to illegitimate channels, such for instance as unprofitable railroad schemes. The General says that the excitement in New York was delirious. It was the stormy upheaval of a great city. Oar dispatches confirm General Austell’s views as to the main crisis being over. The hankers express their opinion that the worst has been seen. It is true that the remoter effects of the storm are begin ning to be seen. In Petersburg, Virginia, several banks have suspended. In New Jersey a locomotive establishment has closed. Bat off in the South and West no trouble is apprehended save some monetary stringency for a while. Backed as the South is by a splendid cotton crop, and the West by a great grain crop, and with little pecu niary interest in the Northern banks, at pres ent, the two powerful sections ol the South and West are comparatively easy. It will be observed that only about four millions of bonds have been offered for sale and bought by the government. Also, that the banks issued Some five millions of loan certificates, bnt that only one-half were needed yesterday. These facts would indi cate that the real scarcity of money is not so great as was supposed. Otherwise more bonds would have been offered in order to get money. , Our people here have no cause whatever for alarm, and if they will be patient under temporary money stringency the flurry will soon blow over without affecting ns, save in the end perhapa beneficially. •travagant, and so impaired hi* revenues that _onj his •death a few years ago, ths family jewels were sold anil ,» part of the rtvennes of his realeBtatebeldto satisfy <the demands or his creditors.lHe was for a time ItinUter at the British conrt, and his son married daughter of the Earl of Jersey.

The Catholtc College—Literal Dona tions We learn from the best authority that the •Hon. A. H. Stephens, oar representative in ■ Congress, has generously subscribed five .hundred dollars towards the new Catholic College, which it is proposed to build in -Georgia. General Robert Toombs, with •whom Bishop Gross is stopping in Washing -on, Wilkes county, has promised to give as -much as Mr. Stephens. The amount neces sary to complete the full sum required to build the college is being gradually realized And there is no doubt bnt that the whole of it <will be secured at no distant day. The col lege will certainly be built. It will be an honor to the State when completed, and will reflect great credit upon Bishop Gross, to whose untiring zeal and energy the success met with in obtaining contributions is mainly xlne.—Augusta Chronicle. "Xtae Value of Newspaper* to a City. In another column will be found a state* f ment that Major Lewis, of Alabama, has come to 'Atlanta prospecting for investment on account of the good impressions of the • city he received from reading The Sunday ^.-Constitution of the 14tb. This fact points out a great truth, viz. ' that a city spends no money more remuner- atingly than that she deyotes to sustaining her newspapers. Nothing so symbolizes her condition as her press. A large-handed prosperity is typified in flourishing journals. Newspapers are the means of communication with the outside world, and the evidences of active trade and .pushing enterprise. They are a daily photo graph of a city’s business and her condition "They help more than all other instrumental! ties to vivify development Poor, badly supported, sickly journals rep resent an unprogressive community. Pros perous, well sustained papers indicate a live, . growing, intelligent people! Let our citizens remember this fact, and act upon it Their press i3 the authoritative exponent of their progress, and they must see to it that it speaks a truthful tale of vital -energy and live enterprise. COOKE’S CRASH. Interesting Details of the Wall Street Flutter. ~ ,-w Foote on Davli.1 That irrepressible old gas bag, the frisky and senile little Foote, has been delivered of divers wordy reminiscenees, which are periodically paraded in the Washington Chronicle. The standing text of this volumi nous gusher Is Jefferson Davis. The unction, the venom, and the versatility of abuse that he slobbers upon Mr. Davis are something simply remarkable. Such fecundity of hatred and vituperation we do not remember to have seen equalled in tlys annals of personal bllings- gate. / The last effusion of the scattering Foote is in the Chronicle of the 21st, and it discusses the negotiations for peace near the close of the late war. Skipping through the five columns of sesiqnipedalian twaddle we find a perfect shower of bonbons dashed upon tho ill-fated Davis. Calling at random we find “stupid and blundering audacity,” the shal low and egotistical Davis,” “eccentric and fanciful notions,” "extreme selfishness of character, his insatiable ambition, his sur passing vanity, and his extreme tenacity of power,” “the eauivocator,” “prince of man agers,” “puerile and contemptible devices, “cold-blooded and unscrupulous political hypocrite,” “characteristic rhodomontade,” and more like them, all applied to Mri Davis. In the meantime, Mr. Davis treats the in eflable' little fellow with a silent contempt, that stings him into madness, and inspires the Mississippian torrent of irate volubility into a constant and drenching overflow. It is very sad. Foote can’t get a look even from the dignified Davis. 8o be pops away his little gun in impotent malice. Poor Foote! The Financial Oris la. The news from the financial flatter rep resents things as hopeful in New York, but rather gloomy. The banks are still issuing loan certificates and the government is still baying bonds. The banks have issued alto gether twelve and a half millions of loan cer tificates, while the government has bought some seven millions of bonds. The regu lar business of the city seems undisturbed. In the West there seems to be a cool, saga cious, confident condition .of things. The banks and business men are acting sensibly. We regret to see that the South is begin ning to show some of the effects of the trouble. Yet an unusually clear-headed financial con servatism and courage appears to be exhibi ted. In Richmond there has been two bank suspensions. But the business men have met en masse, as our telegraphic news tell and passed a series of the cleverest and wisest sort of resolutions. They set a fine example for imitation. Declaring their confidence in their bankB, and rightly as cribing the trouble to external causes, and not to bank irregularities, they pledge them selves to stand by the banks and pursue only the regnlar business course, avoiding any unusual draft on the banks. In Charleston there are no suspensions, but great tightness of the money market and consequent stoppage of trade. They are not alarmed, and the banks and the merchants are trying to give mutual help to each other. We see no reason to alter our hitherto ex pressed view—that our people have nothing to fear, and by patience and coolness they can avoid any further trouble than a tempo rary monetary stringency. EXCITING SCENES. Facts that Will Illustrate the Affair Cleaned from Exchanges. HISTOBY OF THE FIRM OF JAY COOKE & CO. The banking firm of Jay Cooke & Co., originally founded in Philadelphia, has ex tended its afiaira until its reputation as one of the foremost of American bankers has become world-wide. For many years it was exclusively a Philadelphia house, but on the breaking out of the war and the application of the government to the people for money wherewith to suppress the rebellion, the house took an active part in the negotiation of these loans. They established a house in Washington, and, in 1866, an other in this city. They negotiated the famous and popular 7-30. Later they were engaged in other operations, and thei: extensive advertising in all civilized coun tries helped to give tnem their extensive re futation. More recently they have been : dentified with the funding of the new United States bonds, which have been so fully de scribed in these columns. They have been Survey* f $1,091,54207 Conitructlon l2,2 << 0,60010 Boiling stork 1903,837 91 Tool*, machinery and atock supplies 353.330 90 Harbor improvements at Duluth.—..*. 215 07324 Total $15,804,371 » The work of construction is proceeding at both ends of the line. Of the eastern end, beginning at Lake Superior, 453 miles, ex tending to the Missouri'River, have been completed, and on the eastern enk 66 miles of the lice between Columbia River and Puget Sound had been completed in Novem ber, 1872, making a total length of line in operation of 519 miles. Negotiations are how in progress for a contract to build abont 80 miles more down Puget Sound, and 208 smiles from the Columbia River eastward to Lake Pend d’Oreille. “ The Northern Pacific Railroad Company advertised. its first bonds in January, 1871, promising 7 par cent interest in gold. The great financial houses were generally shy of file road. Mr. A. G. Moorhead, of the Phila delphia houte of Jay'Cooke & Co., became Tone of the directors, and it was under the auspices of his hoase that the bonds of the toad came into the market They were a long time time in getting any show of favor. 1 Of the $30,000,000 some $23,000,000 were recently reported placed, and the stocks were not wanted. They had never been on the treet, and the very recent distrust of rail- oad securities was caused partly by rumors, mt ultimately by the failures which within e last two weeks have followed attempts •y one house to see a railroad through its dif- culties. It did not matter to buyer whether ;he road was solvent or no. They did not estion Its solvency, but the time was not ’e for investment in stocks of this description when other investments could be bad, or when, in view of a troubled mar ket, investment of any sort was only to be made after the most careful investigation. But it did matter, as it now appears, to Jay [Cooke’s Philadelphia house whether the >nds of the Northern Pacific road were to speedily placed by them. Strong and curled np in all kinds of fantastic- shapes. The “West End House” lost a chimney. In fact there i3 hardly a house and lot in town, that has not suffered more or less. We do not think an over-estimate is made when we ssy that the losses of the town will foot up $10,000. Bnt the most painful part, is the loss of life. As stated, a negro woman was killed in the falling building on Mr. Tyson’s lot. It is also reported that a negro was killed out at Major Taylor’s place, and also a pair of mules. There is no doubt that considerable loss of life has taken place, whilst many nar row escapes have been made. An immense tree blew down across the building on Mr. Hendrick’s place some three miles from town, in which were six persons. It lodged on a large bed under which three of them had taken refuge, none of them were in- jured. Business was almost entirely suspended during the whole of yesterday. We have had no reports from the country hut the loss will doubtless prove heavy. It is thought by competent judges that the storm will cut the cotton crop of the county short one thousand bales. The wires were down all day so that we could get no reports by telegraph. The train from Albany reported the storm as sweeping everything in its path. We ex pect to hear of serious disasters in the next j lew days, from along the tract of the storm. the acknowledged* head and front- of tSi Government Syndicate, and the memberslfortified at every point, so far as any one have always in later years been regarded aa tjfenew, it had been bolstering the_building power behind the Administration throne.

Dieastrous as the immediate effects of the crisis may be, yet it will clarify financial affairs of much unsoundness and leave us in a far healthier condition. The panic has long been regarded as inevitable, and when it is past confidence will be relieved of one of its heaviest drawbacks. Fortunately, this is in no sense a commercial ganic. It is purely 'a speculative crisis; and it will affect mer cantile interests only so far as it may weaken a few merchants who have taken a share in these operations, or where it may weaken country banks which afford support to the traders of their district. The first thought of the community, after the crisis is past, will be that we have thereby got rid of an element of weakness and of chronic distrust; and upon that conviction confidence will quickly revive, and the effects of the panic will be soon forgotten.—New York Bulletin.

Since last Jan uary, commencing with Ben Halliday’s Oregon and California Railroad, coupons of interest on upwards pf $45,000,000 of capital, which had been sold principally at 65 to 70, have been protested in European markets and the bonds have gone to no price, damag ing our credit abroad; so it was no wonder that Jay Cooke’s |bonds were a drug in the British market—New York Herald. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD—ITS CHARTER, GRANTS AND PROGRESS. The Northern Pacific Railroad Company was chartered by Congress on July 2,1864, and authorized by its charter and subsequent acts to construct a road from Lake Superior, through Minnesota and the Territories of Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington, to Puget Sound, by the valley of the Columbia River through Portland, Oregon. In aid of its construction Congress made a grant, estimated to amount to 47,000,000 acres of alternate odd sections of land for forty miles on each side of the line of the proposed road. The authorized capital of the Company is $100,000,000, in shares of $100 each. Of this amount $2,000,000 were required to be subscribed and 10 per cent paid in before the organization of the Com pany. A mortgage has been created upon its whole property, including its lands, to secure the payment of bonds issued, at a rate not to exceed $50,000 per mile. These bonds are dated July 1,1870, and are payable in 30 years, in gold; the interest, which is at the rate of 7 3-10 per cent, payable in gold in New York, half yearly, January 1, and July 1. The Northern Pacific Company owns a controlling interest in the stock of the St. Paul and Pacific Road, and it has also leased or become owners of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, which extends from St. Paul to Duluth. The rolling stock i3 as follows: locomotive engines, 72; cars—passenger, 16; baggage and mail, 6; immigrant, 4; dumps, 25; freight, platform, 1,130; box, 335—total cars, 1,676. The road being in process of construction no account of earnings can be given. The ex penditure ha3 been as follows: Houses and Fences Prostrate. Thomasville Streets Blocked up with Falling Trees. From the Thomasville Times.] One of the most violent storms that has passed over our country for long years, swept onr town andsection yesterday morn ing. It commenced blowing a little before o’clock, and gradually increased in violence until about 7 o’clock, when with the fury of a gale it swept houses, trees, signs, &a, blocking' up many of the streets with the debris. , The splendid building being erected by Messrs. Cobb & Hamil, for St Thomas Lodge, on the corner of Broad and Fletcher streets, and which would have been ready for the roof next week, yielded to the storm king, and fell with a crash about 9 o’clock, entailing a less on the contractors in connec tion with the loss on their brick yard that will approximate $3,000. In this connection we are pleased to note the generous action of the Messrs. Moore. These gentlemen are large contractors themselves, and have a large force. They have tendered their own and all their employees services to Messrs. Cobb & Hamil for one week free. The storm raged with unabated fury until noon, when it gradually lulled, bringing up in the Northwest, having veered around from the Northeast, where it commenced. Riding over the town hastily yesterday evening, after the cessation of the storm, we coala only note the general ruin that met the eye every where. The kitchen of Rev. ¥m, Taylor was blown down, and one woman (colored) was killed in it, two small children narrowly es caping. The large dining hall at the Fair Grounds, is a mass of ruins. The ladies’ re ception room is partially destroyed, whilst much of the enclosure is blown down. The stables on Mr. J. L.
