Tlii: above nam.it body i* boldin'; it* tiiird no lion in N-w York. It la com p-wed of a Urge number ill delegate* Iron) all part* of the. world and ot ail le ft ni.ination* except CiUbolica. There ale a large nundier of very lei I ti ed, wine and good men ig thi* assembly, but, if we understand tlie object of the order or as* >ciatlun or whatever it ia, we tiitnk tbeir view** are ei«lonary uiid that they are undertaking to accomplish an i.aje»s«il*itity, that in, the harmonizing of all the different Christian dcnomniations except the Catholic*, on some general and univemallv accepted tenets of the Christ ian fai'h, leaving out nud laying aside all point* of difference n*' to faith ami doc trine and dogma upon which they cannot agree. Wc <io not believe that men will ever agrer on anything. Political unity and univerautity of belie! i* impOHtble and yet wdo not lielieve it to be »o utterly bopelc** a* Christian unity. Much as this Christian unity may la desired and bcautifnl ns it may appear in theory, practically it is an impost!! ifity, and all efforts to cstshllsb it result only in a wi ’er separatum, a greater diversity of opinion and a more bitter and hostile feeling between the different sect*. Why are the Catholic* It'll out 1 Arc there no grand, cardinal religious truths upon ■which the Catholic and Protestant ran agree 1 Why not include them In this grand scheme ol Christian unity? They could mix and mingle in brotherly love with the members <d 'lie Alliance as well a* Mclluxlists and Baptists, Presby terians, Episcopalians, UnivcraalUta, Campbclitcs ami the thousand and one other denominations. But, much a* it Is hi be regretted tlnil there a-u so uiaiiyjsecu iimlai mtch di versity oi opinion where nil should be unity and concord, any attempt to unify to great a nundier of discordant elements is, in our bumble judgment simply chi merical. The several hundred delegate* to this Evangelical Alliance will doubtless have a good time in New Y'oi> during their stay. They will eat some most supurb dinner* and drink much of thu best rbsuipsgna manufactured m ibis country. The foreign element will have »n oppor tunity of seeing the thing* in the now world. The delegate* will also create some little sensation in the great metropo lis, and the paper* throughout the land will chronicle their action. Home good aud many inferior sermon* will lie preach ed by the delegate* and senaulion preach ers iu New York.. Many w ise, though common-place reso lutions will lie passed by thu assembly in regard to ChrUtiun unity utul many beau tiful a.ldres»cs will be made filled with idea* of brotherly love and universal oat-ncss with evcrylsidy. Then the dule g tea will ail go home nud nothing more he heard from them till next time. Hut, at last there will he no Christian uni ty. Oil and winter will not mix, neither can the views of Dr.McCodi and the Dean of Canterbury Iw made to appear to lie similar no matter Hint great an effort these learned and diiiafigulslmrl gentlomen may attempt to deceive tltvuweUes aud the world on that point.

Editor: Doubting Thomases nre still to be found, Last week our Asso ciation did not speak over a signature sufficiently authoritative. This time there thuil b- ■ real signature. The question i* still Is'ing asked, even in our own midst, and by those who read your last paper.-‘will there be a fair?"' The answer is emphatically, yet. At least so fur n* the Assoc iation is able to aceom pl nil the net, with the aid ot all whom they may lie able to enlist in w hat they con sider n good cause. T!:C public aecmuil to think liecnusc there was a money panic and famine, I here could be no fair; Hnd some associations have yielded to the pressure. But w e could not afford to take that view of tluugs. Contracts and obli gation* with and to others forbade, and we determined to do our duty, and if uidortnualuly I In-re should be u failure, the Maine should art lb: at onr door. So despite the failure (full handed) ol Jay Cooke & Cos., Clews i Cos., el id muM go nun, the great bugbear, scarcity of money, is giving way. The needful is becoming more plentiful. Already easy in our mar ket city and giving way here, a* evinced by tlie price cotton now commands on our streets, We ate cheered and strengthen ed, and are realizing another illustration of the old adage of difficulties vanishing w hen looked fully in the face tintl met with a determination to drive them back at all hazard*. Once more, we ask undecided people to stand out of the way nnil croakers to cease. Join in with us and given ltenrty, cheerful, telling co-operation, ns wc claim we deserve. We nrc aware and fully re alize that there is work, hard work to be done, before and during the fuir. But we are able-bodied men, nre willing to do all within our power and we are assured tl ia with the help we count on from our well withers, will work wonders. Once more, let every one feel as if all devolved on him or her, and each one put them -elves in u position to say afterwards, “we had a nice, successful (air,” and not to say, “I knew the cow would cat the grindstone.” Ladies and gentlemen, who linve time to spare, nre requested to meet nnd aid in decorating thu second floor, Ladies’ De partment, on Monday, the lfitli. John T. Winofiki.d, President. The Time to Resume, Tlie following from the Tribune shows wlmt it think* about a very nice question: The country S* passing its grandest op portunity since the war. There lias not been since the passage of tiic Legal Ten der act any financial situation or crisis that so held out all Its hnnds inviting to resumption. Shall wc let it go by f Tin crisis calls lorn firm hand, n clear head, nud determined purpose; that,* all. It requires no superhuman wisdom to dis cover our disease, or any profound politi cal science to detect its cause. We halt between palliation and cure. Here's nil hour's work with the knife, or an endless stretch of splints and bandages, lotions and plasters, opiates and stimulants; with recurring paroxysms, spasms, and convul sions, and never sound health in body or limb. Shall it bu surgery or quackery i We must choose between them. To-day’s opportunity is for the country, for the dominant party, ior the President, who has but to put forth his hand and seize it to make himself a great name, and give Ids party the new prestige that it needs, and establish it firmly iu power uud lift the whole country up to pure uir and sol-” hi ground Let the President issue his proclama tion convening Congress in an extra ses sion at eight or ten day*’ notice, with the sole object, distinctly stated in the call, of legislating for the immediate resump tion oi specie payments. For ten days past people lixvo done almost nothing but stand in trout of their balance sheets nnd inventories and see a rapid and constant shrinkage in values. And there's no knowing where it w ill atop or when, for the simple leasem that there is no financial Imrdimn It line been abolished by law. For eleven years we have gone on doing business with irredeemable premises. We have taken notes of each other and paid them with tlie notes of the Government, which themselves were without relations to anything having n fixed value—unsta ble and irredeemable. So long ns we are content to do business upon the system ol renewals, giving and taking new notes tor old ones—w ith the Government sot ting the example—we seem to be prosper ous and healthy—wc grow up in full en joyment of the dropsy, or rather wo bulge out like the Graphic balloon into beauti ful proportions, with a “rip line'' hang ing within everybody's reach. Then comes a time -it has come to us—w hen people begin to enquire tv hat the paper re pre sents aud to grope for a standard of val ues. Everything tumbles, nud business stands still except in bankruptcy courts till that standard is- reached. I ait us knvu that established by resuming specie pay ments. Wc have had quite enough ol ballooning; enough of tliia running spec ulation mail, of kiting slocks, of laying railway ties on moonbeam*, giving mort gages cm log banks, and calling ourselves stout because we have gorged ourselves with the cast wind. Home time we must get back to specie. That's admitted. Why not now? When will there tie a better timet When wwld tire country be more benefitted by it titan now? Then ought tube statesmanship ; enough in Congress to devise a simple, I practicable method. It ik uot the pro ! viuce of journalism to legislate, and legis- I l*tun* arc proverbially jealous of iuter j fereucc with their functions by the press. i Wc suggest nothing except that Congress | tot summoned together for this pnr|K>sc } and this o»ly, not to putty over and tink er up matters, but amply to legislate lor resumption. NAN 41/AN MIXING REGION. A Country fiarpasslng the Wild est Drcatns of El Dorado. DknVeb. C’At,., Septemlitr 17. —Thom as C. Cree, Secretary of the Board oi In uian Commissioners, arrived litre to day. He brings with him a copy of the Ute treaty, signed ley the Indiana. In company w ith six Indian chiefs, Mr. Cree spent some time exploring the new purchases. They visited the San Juan mining region j and report it immensely rich in gold, sil ver. copper, lead, iron and coal. Five hundred valuable lends have been located, and one mine, the only one tuily tested is yielding, with poor machinery, SI,OOO per day. This mine—the little giant sold without legal title to a Chicago com pany for $-500,000, and since tlie treaty is worth $1,000,000. It is expected, with the improved machinery now cn route, that it will yield $25,000 gold per week. A mire with better indications on the same lead is negotiating for at $150,000. The ore from this lead yields from two to five thousand dollars per ton. Another gold lend, undeveloped, yields eight thousand dollars per ton. The country is equally rich in silver, one lead being very rich in a vein six feet thick. Another yield pay in a forty-foot vein. There arc immense vein* of eftpper crop ping out on the surface, none of which sre taken up. Iron ami cool lie in close proximity, the latter ot superior quality fur smelting purpose*. Fifty town lots were located on news of the treaty being signed. The country is immensely rich, nnd with cn| itsl to develop*) it isgood for a hundred million precious metals. Mr. Cree and party spent several days in the saddle, crossing three main ranges of the Uncompnigne nnd San Juan moun tains, crossing at altitudes of 12,500 to 13,000 (cct in the open air, riding through rain nnd snow, over steep trails mid through fallen timber, swamps and rocks. They report the country the grandest in the world lor mountain scenery. At one point they saw a hundred peaks 14,000 to 10,000 feet high. The mining region is surrounded by ns good a chain of moun tains as are in the country. The country acquired contains four million acres of most valuable mining land. Tub meanest man lias been found again. Ho visited Atlanta the other day, and hitched his team to a fence, pulling an old sack of oats out from under the scat, he proceeded to feed the iiorses. Then lie produced a speckled hen from the wagon, and tying her with a string to a wheel, he left her to pick up the last oat. Fued. Dohulam offered a suggestion to the negroes of Nashville, in his speech tlia other day, that wits timely and perti nent. They were making a little more noise than there was any occasion for, am) ho reminded them that the gourd that was the hoi lowest sounded the loudest, and the worst oysters were those that kept tilth- mouths always open.
