The banquet which came off on Thurs day night in honor of the Army of the Cumberland was, perhaps, if half be true -that i9 told of it, the most disgraceful affair of the kind that ever occurred in Pittsburg. The hall was hideous with noises such us would have been a shame to Bedlam. Drunkenness tuled the hour, not the mem tipsiness induced by a free use of champagne, but that Uglier type of the condition brought about by un stinted indulgence in more fiery liquors. What puts the crowning feature of inde cency to these proceedings is the fact that they took place in the presence of the President of the United States, the Gen eral and the Lieutenant-General of the army of the eountry.— Evening Leader, Sept. 20th. Fonn Houston Aldcmcmsre charg ed with offering to vote for the removal ol quarantine on vessels from Galveston, for y2.00G. This sale of the public health is a uovel method oi addition aud di vision. Extraordinary Sale or Cattle. The most remarkable sale of cattle on recotdin this or any other country took place at tlte New York Mills, near Utica, on Wednesday of last week. A corres pondent of the Evening Post, says : “The herd consisted of 113 head, and is the largest, the finest and of the great est average value of any yet bred, either in this country or Great Britan. It has been kept for years past on the farm of Messrs. Wolcott & Campbell, about three miles west of lit- railway station in thi city of Utica. These gentlemen have a nsagnifficent estate here of one thousand acres, and a village of three thousand in habitants, with extensive cotton factories, where til • celebrated York Mills goods un manufactured. “In addition to this noble herd of short horns is another of seventy-five pure bred Ayrshire qattle, kept tor the purpose of supplying the factory people with milk, for which t is breed is turnons—the cows giving from sixteen to twenty four quarts per day when in full flow. There is also i stn-iil hard ol high-bred Jersey cows for the private use of Messrs. Wolcott & Campbell, celebrated for their very rich milk, ami yielding a superior quality of golden-colored cream and butter. “Among the gentlemen present were Lord Skelmersdalu (a connection of Earl Derby,) of Latham House, Ortnskirk, near Liverpool: Mr. Calthorp. ot England; Mr. Berwick, agent of Lord Dutmiorc near Sterling, Scotland nnd numerous gentkmen from the Canadas, New Eng land, the Middle, Western and Southern States. I wish our city dandies could see how critically these men handle and ex amine cattle. They arc not afraid of soil ing their Imnil*—turn up the bottoms ot their pantaloons, nad go chatting about with our traders like plain old tunnels. "The prices obtained were beyond all expectation. Tl*e Dutchess tribe of cows nnd heilers brought from $15,000 to $40,- 000 each. Dukes of the same family brought from $4,000 to $12,500 each. Everybody is astonished at the unexpect ed high prices. “The sale began with tho famous Duch ess triife, or wliat is usually termed the "Bates strain of blood,” from the celebra ted breeder, from their progenitors in England, who died upwards ol twenty years sinre. There were eleven females of this tribe in Mr. Campbell’s herd. The bidding was rapid and spirited to a high degree, and they were struck off at the astounding sums, respectively, of $5,700, SIO,OOO, $15,000, $15,300, $15,000, $lO, 000, $25,000. $27,000, $30,000, $35,000, $40,000 I The highest price that any fe male of this tribe ever sold at before was $15,000, at a private sale last summer, tor a single one exported to Great Biituin Tlte Duke bulls of this tribe offered at tlm side wire only three in number, and they brought respectively $4,000, $7,000 and $12,500. , .“Tluae .tvcrc.varipns other.tribes nnd of short horns in Mr. Campbell’s herd, till- nomt himous of which alter the Duchess is the Oxfftti! stritin.-closely con nected in blood with the former. The thilu Countess of Oxford brought SO,IOO. The other animals brought fiom $l5O to $7,000. “As they were bidding on the eighth Duchess ot Geneva, she followed the herdsiiiau quietly around the ring, dis playing her fine points to the best advan tage; Imt ns the auctioneer reached the bid of $40,100, she suddenly stopped in her walk, menacingly threw up her head, us if amazed being rated at so astound ing a sum, and began to back out of the ling with nil her might. It was sometime nelore they could bring her buck, and it took three stout men to do it. The bid ding again began upon her, and was fi nally run tip to $40,600, at which price she was struck off, when the noble cow quietly follotved her herdsman back to the stall. The total amount obtained for the 113 animals was $354,000, averaging more than $3,000 for every head. — Balti more Marlcct Journal. - Hercules won’t More at That figure! Tho New York World, of Sunday, in nil article urging tho importance of the immediate appropriation of money for the moving id’ the crops of the country, esti mates til*' wo have for foreign exporta tion three millions of bales of cotton, which, at 12} cents a pound, represents a total value of $174,000,000. The value of the breadstuff* for exportation it esti mates at $l0d,()00,000. It deprecates the greater anxiety which is manifested about the price ot b unis nnd other securities, and says that the moving of the produce is “the prime condition of relief from the present stringency.” No doubt tlte World is correct in its estimate ot the effectual remedy. But ic misses the figure badly if it supposes that much cotton will “move” at 12} cents a pound. With Liverpool quotations at B}d. in gold for middlings—equal to ful ly 19c. in greenbacks at the present rate of discount —the cotton planters of the South can hardly stand the amount of fleecing to he incurred by letting New York have their staple, at 12} cents a pound. They are not going to do that. The very suggestion of it shows the ne cessity ot the Southern people establish ing commercial relations that will free them from entire dependence on the spec ulations, fluctuations and suspensions of tho North. It would of course be an easy way for the gambling Northern operators in inflated stocks to retrieve theii losses by making the cotton planter the “scape goat”—getting their cotton nt 12} cents, »nd selling it at 18 or 19, hut the little game won’t succeed in this instance. To “move" the cotton crop to the relief of the stock gamblers, the price offered must hear some approximation to the Liverpool quotations, and the hitter must not be sympathetically lowered to play into the hands of the bears ou this side, in disre gard of the relations of supply and de mand.— Columbus Sun. Last year the comity courts in England registered 747 orders for the protection of wives deserted bv their hdsfcfands. The First Lyucli la.t Trial. In the autumn of 1809, the settlement in Ohio, at Columbia, contained less than a score of log cabins. Most of them w ere near the bank es the Ohio river, a short distance below the mouth «f tin- Little Miami river. The must prominent -of the settlers were Gen. John S. Gann,. Rev Stephen Gano, William Goforth, John Reilcy, Francis Dunlevy (afterwards Pres ident Judge,) Jacob White. Ephraim Kibby. Luke Foster (afterwards Judge,) Reverend John Smith (afterwards United State Senator,) John Brown, James Flinn, Thomas Hubbcll, Col. Oliver Spen cer, Major Benjamin Stiles, Hezekiali Stiles, Elijah Mills, Edmund Buxton, Peter Skeu Smith, James Seward, Thom as C. Wade, Benjamin Shoemaket, Evan Shelby, Allen Woodruff, Joseph and Ben jamin Cox One of the most useful men m this colony in the wilderness was Pe ter Sken Smith. A shrewd and skillful artisan, he only amongst them all could repnir and keep in working order the only mmd mill in the settlement, used almost constantly for grinding their Indian corn. This he did by softening the steel, filing it sharp and then hardening it. A trader from Redstone Old Fo.-t (now Williams port,) on the Monongnheht, arrived with a small Kentucky boat la len with flour and other produce, ot which the pioneers in their new settlement were much in need. So welcome was his arrival that they lentdiim willing aid to carry up his dozen barrels of flour nnd pile them be tween two trees, that they might by safe from the perils of the river. Next morn ing it was found that one of the barrels had mysteriously disappeared during the night, much to the surprise ot the Trader and indignation of the villagers. They speedily gathered together, and were not long in coming to a conclusion. It was immediately determined ncm. con. that a general search should be made, some of the principal citizens proposing that their own domicils should bo examined first. This was speedily done, but not until the fourteenth house was searched was the lost barrel found, in the cabin of Peter S. Smith, who proved to be the Aclmn of the village. They unhesitatingly arrest ed him. He submitted with a very bad grace. When informed they would pro ceed to try him for the felony, with pro voking mug froid he demanded their war rant, well knowing that front want of civ il organization (there tumid ire none. Hay,, ing no leader with supreme authority., like i*»«t4fP4WP solves intb'a.Lynch law court, nnd after a fair trial, found him guilty of the larceny, and sentenced him with forty stripes save one, according to the Hebrew law. nnd that lie make the' restitution of the stolen flour to its owner. Smith now dared them to inflict so ignominious a punish ment without authority of the law. They procured n stout cord with each end of which they tied Ids thumbs and then car rying the line over a heavy thornbush. they proceeded to execute the sentence of their own court with « good will, each ol the thirteen giving him three stripes with a hickory withe. With this degrading punishment all boldness and daring for sook him. lie repaired to his cabin, but was never afterwards seen in the settle ment. It was supposed he found his way to the falls ot the Ohio river and there enlisted in the United Stutcs Army. This statement is made on the authority of one of the most respectable members of that primitive court, the late Judge Foster. It has been revised by the venerable Ma jor Daniel Gano, a native of the very place where it occurred, now in his eight ieth year. —American Historical Record. Bismarck’s Christianity. Not long since a correspondent o r the New York World furnished that paper with what purported to be the report of a personal interview with Prince Bis marck, in which the distinguished Ger man was made to utter the most ex treme atheistic sentiments. The publi cation attracted much attention in this country especially among intelligent Ger mans, who denounced the story as a ma licious fabrication. Dr. D. Bendau, late of New York, having addressed the Prince a letter on the subject, recently received the following reply: Dr. Bendati —I received your communi cation with many thanks. 8o many falsehoods are told ou my account that I am not astonished at this barefaced in vention. Ido not know if there arc peo ple stupid enough to believe such thing; but one tiling is certain—l never had with any one a conversation of an import similar to that to which you refer. There can consequently not even be a mis understanding alleged as a pretext for that falsehood {Luge —lie.) But it strikes me that the phrase “to crush Rome in order to crush Christianity," very plainly shows the source and purpose of that calumny. That my convictions and my belief arc the opposites of wliat that fable puts in my mouth no man in Germany doubts, and also in America people will Bay that if one weic so God-forsaken (Oottcerlas sen) as to think so. lie would hardly he fool enough thus to talk.

VOL. VIII NO. 23. Two Snaps of History. The Cincinnati Commercial digs up two scraps of history that will Ik- ucw to most people, but « liicli arc of interest -even at this Jay. It says; Sonic ancient history may not be inap propriate in this connection, and we re mark that two of the prominent citizen* of Ohio w ho narrowly escaped the presi dency were Thomas Ewing and William Allen. Tlnstivas Ewing would have bees nominated and elected vice-president in stead ot t'illino.e it Lewis If. Campbell had not rejected, at tile head of the Ohio delegation, the tender of the nomination to the Ohio man best known as the friend ot Henry Clay. This, of course, was done in the moment of irritation follow ing the nomination that Mr. Webster said was * no', tit to he made.” As for Allen, lie was offered the Demo cratic nomination by the Baltimore Con vention. in the midst of the contest be tween the friends ofVan Buren and Cass, hut was under obligations to Cass, sad refused it. The understanding was that lie was to he rewarded for lfs fidelity that time by the nomination next time. But when the time came, Valiundighasn prevented the unity of the Ohio delega tion upon him. and Franklin Pierce was, instead of William Allen, nominated and became President. The services of Mr. Vallandigliam in this particular were never or forgiven, and tile tri umph of for the Senate six years ago was tinged with the splendor of a personal victory on the one side, nnd touched with peculiar bitterness on the other, by the mutual recollections of the past. A man has just died in Brooklyn who had long been a monomaniac from the neglect of a person to wlmiu lie had lent the money he had saved by hard work to repay It.
