The failure of the Merchants’ National Bank at Dubuque, Iowa, is one of the j t in ^ most remarkable occurrences of the panic. The bank was organised in L865.

Th. eashier was Babbage, formerly a private banker. The.^ gentlemen retained their places up to the hour of the col lap**?, but ( when that came it was discovered that j they had stolen $329,000.

In tho tainted air, and experienced that stifling sensation which not even the full- orbed sun in his midday glory could dissi pate or drive from that doomed city ? Or, if never permitted to be present amid these harrowing scenes, have you ever seen and nursed a victim of the dreaded yellow fever ? Then listen while the writer attempts to portray what he saw: It was a cool frosty evening on the 8th of October. 1854. The sun had gone down in unclouded magnificence, the fields were whiio with tho fleecy staple, the forests robed in their coat of many colors. AU was peace and happiness, save in the death-stricken habitations of, our chief seaport. Savannah. There, aU the dread pictures we have summoned before you, had actual pres ence and existence. Hurricanes, and dis mantled, storm riven homes had added their horrors, also, to tho “pestilence that walkcth in darkness,’’ and “the destruc tion that wasteth at noonday.” It was jnat ten days before the period wo have named, that a devoted brother, one of nature’s noblemen, had ventured within the walls of tuo doomed city (o rescue the valuable papers and effects of his sister, whose husband, an eminent physician had just fallen at his post, a victim to tho fever. It was tho hour of noon when ho drove into tho city, and fearlessly entered the closed mansion, from which tho owner had so recently been carried to his last rest ing place. A few brief minutes only were spent in examining tho desk of tho deceased, and securing tho papers and other valuables sought for. Then that stalwart man, the very embodiment of health and vigor, re turned to his carriage and drove rapidly back to his home in tho country some forty miles distant. As before state*!, ten days afterwards, on that cool, October eve, he entered tho residence of a relative alout nightfall, too thinly clad for the season, and shaking with ague. That kfnsraan, at once apprehensive of the nature of his ailment, proceeded to treat him accordingly. A rousing fire was kindled on the hearth, hot water ordered, and soon tho feet of the sick man were placed in a worm mustard bath, and he was bathed up to the knoes for several minutes. While taking his bath, the fever, now rapidly coming on, unloosed his tongue, and the poor fellow rattled on in the most excited manner upon all sorts of subjects, both grave and comic. Evi dently growing worse, however, an emetic was administered, and his stomach relieved of the undigested remains of a hearty dinner. Then he was put to bed, and before midnight such a fever set in ns the writer, who was present, hod never seen before. It was like an internal fire, literally sapping and drying up the foun tains of life. The' face was swollen almost to double its natural sixe, and flaming red. and the eyes, engorged and of a saffron hue, wore the most heartrending expression of anx iety. It was then that the ill man real ised his situation, and calling for a mir ror, carefully put back his eyelids and closely noted the yellow suffusion visible. The truth was but too apparent, and like a brave man he prepared to meet the worst. Physicians were summoned and his wife and mother sent for. Every remedy known to the faculty was ex hausted in vain, and the progress of the disease was like the irresistible rush of a prairie fire. A powerful constitution, great physical strength and mental reso lution. all succumbed with fearful rapid- itv before its onward march. _ The breath of the patient was like molten lava, and his respirations almost too quick to be noted. Soon his face grew livid, and the skin, which at an early stage had assumed the color of polished copper, broke out in dark blotches of a mahogany hue The very springs of life were fast drying up, and within thirty-six hours from his attack, the poor sufferer bad breathed his last. So rapid was the pro gress of the fever that death claimed its victim before black vomit had super vened, and decomposition almost imme- rtely began its ravages. This is the fearful disease, kind reader, which is now spreading death and con sternation among our countrymen in Memphis and Shreveport. Let us aid them all we can. and thank a kind Provi dence that has ever exempted our own city, from a soourge so terrible an 1 de- fowa Central railway, “ and," says the Herald, “ it is believed that this is the sink-hole where much of the bank’s money has gone"—that is, much of Sheffield’s share of the swag, which amounts to $62.- 000. Even the fact that one of the prin cipal officers of the bank was engaged in railway speculations did not seem to awaken the suspicions of tho credulous business men of Dubuqne. Babbage was universally respected, and enjoyed the public confidence to such r remarkable degree that a man who had dared to hint aught against him 41 would have been hooted out of town." • Such are the outlines of a failure ,which has no equal in the history of national, or almost any other, banking. All is marvelous. It is marvelous that the only thoroughly rotten bank in - the city should have all the deposits; that a condition of entire unsoundness, extend ing over the Best port of a "decade, should not be detected; and that tho biggest thief in the community should turn out to be tho precise man in whom everybody liad the utmost reliance.

October 10.—The Adrian Times and Expositor, the Admin istration orpin of this "city—of which J. H. Fee, Postmaster, is editor-in-chief and joint proprietor—contained a savage at tack upon Gen. Grant in its issue of this evening, leaving the whole responsibility of the salary-steal upon his shoulders. The following is the opening and conclu sion of the article: “ Sundry political conventions have met since the adjourn ment of Congress, and all, or nearly .all, have had their say about what is known as the salary-grab; but none of them on the Republican side have had the bold ness to place the responsibility of the salary bill becoming a law where it prop erly belongs—with President Grant." “Weare opposed to the Congressional feature of the salary bill, and we hope to see Republicans in every part of the country denounce not only the men who aided in the passage of the measure, but all men who took the money. It is the part of manhood and honesty not to forget that President Grant had it in his power to squelch the raid on the Treasury, and that he did not do it; and we fail to see any great differ ence in point of morality in a Congress man voting himself $2,500 increase of sal ary, and a President signing a bill which gave him an increase of $25,000. This difference does not exist. A single Con gressman could not have prevented the bill beooming-a law; that power did rest with President Grant. The people will not adopt a rule for public action which prescribes penalties for minor official*, and leaves equally guilty ones of higher position to go scot free.” Fee will be feeling for his head just so soon as that copy of his paper gets to Washington. Perhaps, though, he has made as much out of his office as it will stand without an explosion, and is now treating himself to an unknown luxury among his sort, vaz : Telling the truth about Ulysses. tain.

We find these additional items in the Advertiser-Republican: High Price for Services.—We have not suffered with anything like an epi demic in our city, nor has it been other than a perfectly healthy season—one of the healthiest we have ever been blessed with, and yet we have just heard of a nurse and a medical man sending in a bill, one for nursing a patient for about a couple of hours or more for tho modest sum of five hundred dollars, and the other a bill of two hundred dollars* worth of medical attendance. Now it must be remembered that the individual who was fortunate enough to secure the services of such high-priced attendants is per fectly able to pay the amount of seven hundred dollars, and the services of the attendants may, in their opinion, have been worth that much money, but, as it is not customary to pay such a high price for nurses and medical attendance, the party against whom these bills have been made very quietly but decidedly refuses to pay them. More Freight Room.—The steamship RApidan, of the Great Southern Steam ship Company, for which Messrs. Wilder A Co. are the agents, arrived yesterday from New York, for the purpose of load ing with cotton for that port, the neces sity for the transportation of cotton hav ing required the sending out of this extra steamer. Large Cargo.—The schooner Thomas D. Harrison, Captain Crossman, cleared yesterday for New York, with 352,402 feet of lumber. This will be the largest cargo of lumber taken by any fore and aft ves sel from Savannah within the recollection of prominent shipping men. The Harri son is a new vessel of 512 tons burthen, and is said to be the largest vessel of that rig (schooner) that has entered this port. According to a report made to the Sa vannah Chamber of Commerce last week, the annual imports of foreign goods to that port, amount to about $2,500,000 of which alxmt $1,500,000 are in dry goods ^ iron plates and rails $273,6S3; pig iron, $100,000; drugs, etc., $200,000; earthenware, china and glass, $65,000; jeweller’s goods, $50,000; tin plate, $90,- 000; and wines, liquors and ship stores, $75,000. Bi3n »p Gross delivered a lecture on Saturday at Augusta, for the benefit of the “Young Men’s Catholic Society," of that city, liis subject being “The Life of Theobold Mathew, the Apostle of Tem perance." of which the Chronicle and Sen- tinelsays: Prefacing his lecture by stating that two men. Daniel O'Connell and Father Matthew, had seemed to have been spe cially and providentially raised up to aid the Irish people, the speaker, after pay ing a just tribute to O’Connell, which provoked load applause, gave a glowing and most interesting history of the life and character of Father Matthew, the great Apostle of Temperance. He show ed how vast were the results which had been accomplished by him. how many homes had been saved from desolation, and human beings preserved from tho great enemy, drunkenness, as. brands plucked from the burning, by his grand efforts in the cause of temperance. Nor, said the Bishop, is his work over. The ball put in motion by hi*n is rolling still, gathering strength as it proceeds, and the numbers of the advocates of temper ance, the members of societies, are daily increasing, They are numbered by thou sands and tens of thousands. Charity, humility and modesty, he said, were dis tinguishing characteristics of Father Matthew. In concluding his lecture, which was listened to with the most marked attention throughout. Bishop Gross called upon the young men in the audience to draw a moral from the life and character of Father Matthew, and remember that none were too humble to do some good in the world. The 'occasion of the lecture was most opportune, being the anniversary of the birth of Father Matthew. The Atlanta Public Schools.—From the report of Mr. Mallon, superintendent of the Atlanta Public Schools, published in the Constitution, yesterday, we make some extracts of general interest. During the year ending August 31st, 1873, the total number of pupils enrolled was 3,594 against 2,842 the first year of the schools, the average daily attendance being 2,268. There are ten schools and fifty-seven teachers, and the total expenses for the past year were $49,956, the teachers’ sal aries amounting to $40,851. The cost per annum for each scholar for instruc- I tion was $15,00, and the cost per scholar, j including all expenses, $18,29. The total When the Expedition rendezvoused at ; that he should consider the prisoner’s re- l*oth the infantry and cavalry , sponsibilily commenced with the 12th sutlers ma<ie extensive additions to their | c f August. He, however, put several stocks. The latter added an extra amount of commissary whisky. After being some days on the’ march, Gen. Stanley found that the sutler was issuing whisky in too lai«re quantities, and so he ordered Lieut. Ray, officer of the day, to hunt up the whisky and* destroy it, which was done. This circumstance gave rise to the sensa tional paragraph, sent back by a corres pondent, that Stanley and Custer had had words, and that the latter had been sent to the rear.* Gen. Custer positively de nies anything of the kind, though he did think that, as the sutler was attached to his command, the order for the spilling of the whilky should haft* come through him. But the following is one of the un published notes: within twelve hours after the whisky was spilled on the alkali plain, Lieut. Fred. Grant became dis gusted and left the expedition. There are vindictive opponents of “the Govern ment” who put this and that together, and talk sharply. It’s none of my busi ness to make deductions. The officer who told me this said he only regretted that he himself was not “a son of the Gov ernment,” so he could have come back, too. [ComrauniratNl.] Preaching at the State Fair.

It would be a fine opportunity also for the distribution of religious tracts, etc. J. H. Campbell. The ravenous tiger that swallowed his keeper in London last year has ji&t been making another rumpus in an English menagerie. There was great consterna tion in the tent when it was discovered that the animal had reached through the bars of his cage and got hold of a small boy that had been poking him with a sharp stick. Tho tiger was infuriated, and was making strenous efforts to draw the lad through the bars of the cage. The beast growled frightfully, and what with the pitiful cries of the boy, the shouts of the men, and the screams of half-fainting women, the scene was one of the most ter rible description. Some men ran for hot irons, while others beat the beast with their stick and umbrellas, and they did all they could to draw the brute from its helpless victim. Ul timately, after a severe mauling, the animal relinquished it* prey, and the boy, helpless and faint t • rough the loss of blood from the injuries he luul received, was borne away through the crowd. His wounds, upon being dressed, apj>eared to be of a-serious nature, though they are not likely to prove fatal. The brute seems to have caught its victim just be low the elbow, and tore a deep lump of flesh right down the forearm to the wrist. There is also a deep gash in the.palm of the left hand, from which the hemorrhage is great. The patient lies in great pain, and it is feared he will not recover the perfect use of his arm. One of the keep ers has also been seriously injured. He was struck by one of the elephants, and •his ribs were smashed in. A devout clergyman sought every op portunity to impress upon the mind of his son the fact that God takes care of all His creatures; that the falling spanrow at tracts His attention, and tluit His loving kindnesd is over all His works* Happen ing, one day. to see a crane wading in quest of food, the good man pointed out to his son the perfect adaptation of the crane to get his living in that manner, “dee,* said he, “how his legs are formed for wading! What a long, slender bill he has! Observe how nicely he folds his feet when putting them in or drawing them out of the water! He does not cause the slightest ripple! He is thus enabled’to approach the fish without giv ing them any notice of his arrival.” “My son,"said he, “it is impossible to look at that bird without recognizing the desigir as well as the goodness of God in thus providing the means of subsistence." “Yes,” replied the boy, “I think I see th< goodness of God, at least so far as the crane is concerned; but after all, father, don’t you think the arrangement a little tough on the Jish t* theT d and in Italy, they •lo not more than ten cents.

The prefer ence of the committee is reported to he in favor of the James river and Kanawa canal for the central route. The North ern interests are so conflicting that the committee are much perplexed how to make a choice between them. Such are the reports in circulation, but it is proba ble that they embody the present drifts of the views of the committee, and not any final determination. The personal examination by the com mittee is still incomplete, and it is not likely that they will finish before Novem ber. From Memphis.

He was present at a council of war held by the - •’ — * * *■ It was Emperor on the 9th of August, then resolved that his army should be brought to the walls of Metz, and the, movement in that direction began the 11th. After reaching the city ho re Insurgents of .Cartagena attribute the defeat of their squadron solely to the cowardice of Con terns, who ordered a re treat against the wishes of the crews. They declire that he will not be suffered to command the fleet again. Their ves- d no orders to obtain ammunition. He gels sailed out of the harbor to-day for the complained of carelessness of intelligence in the service. He did not receive pre cise information of McMahon s situation .until the 13th, and orders to throw a bridge across the Mozelle reached him onlv the day before. He denied that he could be held re sponsible for the delay and subsequent failure to destroy the bridges to pre vent the enemy’s pursuit. Telegraphic dispatches were read, showing that Bazaine intended to coun teract the flank movement of the Ger mans, but the Emperor prevented him from carrying out his plans. The Marshal, in answer to further questions, especially concerning the 15th of August, stated that he agreed with the Emperor to march to Verdun, but the delay was caused by battle, and he was otherwise hindered. He was unaware that the-Emperor intended to*depart from Metz. He declared that the Em peror left no special orders. ^ It was well understood, however, that in the event of a strong resistance the army was tore- main at Metz a few days, and not go be yond Verdun in any case. After the battle of the 16th, Leboeup and Conrobut agreed with him that it was impossible to advance. Responsible officers informed him his supplies were insufficient. . „ .. He said that he gave Conrobut all the aid ho asked at St Privat. He blamed L’Admirault for pot calling up reserves. In justification of his conduct of the 18th of August, he cited orders he had received to be cautious. # . The accused betrayed much excitement at the beginning qf his examination, which was long and searching. A Rebellious Grange.

How Chandler was Picked Up.—The Fredericksburg Herald says; In his har angue at King George Court-houre, last week, Chandler spoke in exalted terms of the laborer and of the negro, who he sought to show was an equal, and ought not to be looked down upon. A quiet chap in the audience, who looked meek as Moses and innocent as a dove, interrupted Chandler, and asked if he (Chandler) thought a poor white laboring man was as good as himself. Promptly Chandler responded in the affirmative. Quickly this was followed up by a query as to whet er Chandler thought a negro as good as him self. This was a stunner, and fairly knocked the ready Chandler off his pegs, but he had to face the music, and re- inability to supply them Texas and Pacific Railroad Bonds.
