The Atlanta Constitution finds from the Comptroller General's books that the receipts of the State for the month of October footed up $77,155- 91. The disbursements for the quar ter ending October Ist, were $172,- j 672 28. The Atlanta Herald says Captain John A. Grunt, Superintendent of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad, left Wednesday evening for New York, where he goes to arrange anew schedule over the Air Line Road to connect with his road for the benefit and convenience of Northern visitors to Florida the ensuing winter. Fi.OHIIIi ITEMS Lake City is engaged in the ex portation of large quantities of the luscious banana, by every train. .--A number of emigrants from Wal ton county passed through Tallahas see, on the 2nd instant, destined to j South Florida. —A tnan convicted of larceny, was j fined live cents and costs, before the Circuit Court in Leon county. —Tlie farmers of Columbia brought into Lake City, in one day, last week, fully seventy-live thousand pounds, oT Sea Island cotton in the seed. —The new eon vent at St. Angus- j tine is approaching com detion. t'lerks' liases In New York. There are now 50,000 clerks in t his city, one-tentli of whom are out of, employment. Those who are so for tunate as to retain their situations I are working at reduced rates. The i largest employer is Stewart, whose pay-roll in both stores, contains j nearly I,OQo names, and requires $12,- tKtU per week. Clatlin is next in im- | portanee, and his pay-roll is equal to j $6,000 |>er week. Entry clerks re- j eeive $500; salesmen, S3OO to $1,200. Some of these, who sell on commis sion, make from $2,000 to $3,000, the commission being one per cent. Book-keepers receive from SBOO to $1,200. In every large concern there is the head book-keeper, who is in the eonlidence of the linn, and draws a large salary, generally $2,500. Stewart has 150 men who use the pen, and this department occupies aspace in the wholesale house thrice the size of his lirst retail store. A half dozen men are employed to answer letters. Four men fill up bank checks and attend to finances. About thirty are at the books, stead ily posting and drawing off accounts, ahd ail these are under the mastery of a chief accountant, whose salary is said to be $4,000, Avery large part of the wholesale domestic trade is done in the basement, which is very unwholesome, and vet about sixty men are here most of the time. A clerk is at nest a floating character. They shift from one place to another, and generally get broken down early in life. It is a mystery what becomes of that crowd of youth which every season flock to the metropolis in pursuit of wealth, but it may be said that few ever reach .success, and a very large proportion go to ruin.

The passen gers and crew took to open bouts about daylight.but failed to make a landing, a strong east wind prevail ing, The boats were blown out to sea and have not since been heard from. Couriers have been sent down the eoast in search of the missing boats, and a steam lug and several st.il boats have gone out cruising lor them. The steamer will prove a total loss, with her cargo. She was a N w York vessel, and lately put on this line. No passenger list available. Quite a gate was blowing at the time of the fire, and the water run ning high. Vessels out in search of small boats return and bring no news of them. They were blown before the wind down the coast to westward, rue chances are they will lie picked up by vessels from Matagorda and Indianpiu. It is reported that the steamer was struck by lightning, which set her on lire. Quite a number of vessels wen lying at anchor near the Waco, btu owing to the storm, claim tiiey could render no aid.

[ Salt Lake City, Nov. 9. —Yesterday the case of Cora Conway vs. Peter j Clinton and other Mormon officials, I for destroying plaintiff's premises j three years since, came up in court.

From the Constitutionalist.] When Senator Bayard was in this city he dwelt upon the fact that the savings banks of the East held an amount of deposits, mainly from la boring men and women, of almost fabulous magnitude. The coming j winter will test these institutions to | the utmost, for when people get out of employment, and many thousands ! will be thus fated, they are compelled | to encroach upon their little hoard i in the bunk, it would be worth know | ing, too, iiow deeply these savings banks have invested in second mort gages, which, ns Mr. Bayard grimly remarked, were not now worth the (taper upon which they were written, t o get an idea of the entire system audits grand aggregate of capital, one Yieed but take New York city as an illust ration. The New Orleans Times has been delving in.this rich mine, and brings to light the subjoined interesting de tails: "The capital ot the public batiks of New York City is $85,0ut),- :KM. Tnis includes the old State or ganizations ami the later National Banks. The one of the largest capi tal is the (national! Bank of Com merce, which has $10,1100,000. The greater part of its stock is owned by Robert Lenox Kennedy, the (’resi dent. Tne most prosperous of them is the City .national? Bank, of which Moses Taylor is President and al most entire owner. Its stock is now won it 300, or 200 above par. "Ttie richest bank in New York is the Chemical. This was established years ago by a family named Jones, who had made a good deal of money by the importation of English chem icals, and when this batik was char terer! the founders named it the Chemical Bank. "The par value of the shares is SIOO each ; and they are worth $1,600 in the stock market; that is, $1,600 is ot ic red wuii no sellers. This institution Keeps the deposits of the old blue iloodcd New Yorkers, such as the Roosevelts, the Gerards, the Van Rensellaers, and all the rest of the dd time magnates. Business is done in the old-fushioned sleepy wa\, no tioderu emotional Iltmneiering for s hem. When the war closed the Chemical had about $150,000 of its notes outstanding, which were called ,u and redeemed in gold. "But tne New York Savings Banks tre the most powerful moneyed iu stitutions in that city. Although .-.hoy do not have magmlieeut offices oid cashiers with hail* parted in the middle, resplendent wit h din- : ootid pills, they an possess sloo,otto,- j (00 more money in deposits than ail 1 .'he rich men’s banks on Wall street I would have, if they were pooler! to re! her. There are forty-three of these institutions, and most of them | ue on the eastern side, or least wealthy portion of the city, and if hose of Brooklyn be included, there | ire sixty-one. Nearly all of these ire situated in the Bowery proper, and are managed by Germans, gener ally with the commendable thrift of hat careful and frugal race. On the ■ ii'st of .September, the Savings Banks had the enormous sum of $223,U9ii,0u0 on deposit and invested. This itriount belonged to 498,099 persons. I'lie Germans are the heaviest depos -■,l'.. *ticii the Irish and of these, two-thirds were women." at, ivouet aepeur, from the above statement., that, in New York, pre sumably in all other localities at the North, the most thrifty population is hat either fori ign-boni or of alien extraction. If this be true, and the j vim-nee is apparently convincing, it j will not be many years before the immediate descendants of the Celt itul Saxon shall possess this rich iri-1 heritance of the United Stales. They j nise large families and save much J money; and it would seem to be im possible that the restless, extravn 4nnt and barren stock of "natives” ■an hope to hold their own for any engthened period, agains t such pro- j lifie and frugal races. It is a good j thing materially that, a vigorous and industrious people should supplant a weak and spendthrift class, but whether it is a good tiling, or not, for air institutions, remains lobe seen. \Ve tiust that it is, and, at any rate, if the country is rapidly drifting into the European or Asiatic form of gov ■rnmeiit, something fixed or definite is better than something fraudulent nid hypocritical. The Times says that “the French and Italians who save their money are about equal in number. The ser vant girls alone have $2,090,009 in t he hanks, hod the sums a mussed by the fruit sellers, and kept in the savings banks, would surprise anyone who believes them to be a thriftless class.” From the statistics thus recorded, it may be easily understood why the currency question is of considerable magnitude and of prevading interest. If financial chaos and a stoppage of great industries should occur, this winter; and if tiie Savings Banks I have serious withdrawals of their de posits: awl if their funds have been j invested largely in second-mortgages on real estate their future is ono of I peril. If such contingencies have : any foundation, and if the Savings | Banks can not stand the apprehend ed pressure, there will l>e,in this coun try a social, political and monetary earthquake never before known or felt in its history, ft is to be hoped that these forebodings may prove cither unfounded or exaggerated. It is to be hoped, too, that the next House of Representatives, so far as the members are able, will secure the country at large against any fatality. If the Democratic majority in the House will reform in earnest, cut, down expenses, discourage extrava gant schemes, kill the wicked lobby and restore confidence, their fortunes and those of their party, are made, more especially if they likewise keep intact the glorious principles of their organization which have been so shame uliy betrayed in the past.

Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on overy subject. Printed from new type, and illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under the title and Thk Nkw American Cycloiqkdia wa* com ile ted iu 1863, since which time the wido circula ion which it lias attained in all parts of the nited States, and the signal developments which ve taken place in every branch of science, lit future and art, have induced the editors and ■ublishers to submit it to an exact and thorough ovision, and to issue anew edition eutitlcd The AMERICAN CYCLOI’JKDIA. Within the last ten years the progress of die overy iu every department of knowledge bus .tude u now work of reference an imperative •■■ant. The movement of political affairs has kept pace itn the discoveries of science, and their lruitiu pplicution to the industrial and useful arts and no convenience ami roilnemeut of social life, rreat wars and consequent revolutions have oc urred, involving national changes of peculiar uoumut. The civil war of our own country, hich was at its height when the last, volume ot lie old work appeared, has happily been ended, nd anew course of commercial and industrial tetivity has been commenced, lourgn accessions to our geographical kuowl dgo have been made by the iudofutigablc ex •lorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last do ude, with the natural result of the lapse of time, ,uve brought into public view a multitude of new uen, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and f whose lives every one is curious to know the articularß. Groat battles have been fought and mportaut sieges maintained, of which the de ails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers r in the transient publications of the day, but riiioh ought now to take their place in perma- j lent ami authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press, t has accordingly been the aim ol the editors to •ring down the information to the latest possi ble dates, and to furnish nu accurate secouut ol Ue most recent discoveries in science, of every resh production iu literature, utid of the newest -ivent ions iii the practical arts, an well as to give succinct and original record of the progress of ■olitical and historical events. The work has beeu begun after long and care il preliminary labor, and with the most ample ••sources tor carrying it on to a successful term nation. None of the original stereotype plates have ecu used, but every page huH beeu printed on iew type, forming in fact anew Cyclopuuiia, with He same plan and compass as its predecessor, >ut with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, tud with such improvements iu its composition .s have been suggested by longer experience atid nlarged knowledge. The illustrations which ar<> introduced for the irst time in the present edition have beeu added tot for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give (raster lucidity and force to the explanations in (he text. They embrace oil branches of science md of natural history, and depict the most anions and remarkable featuros ol scenery, irchitcctnre and art, as well as tho various pro • esses of mechanics and manufactures. Yithough intended for Instruction rather than •mbolishment, no pains have been spared to in mre their artistic excellence; the cost of their ;locution- is enormous, and it is believed they vill hud a welcome reception as an admirable ■ftture of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of its high character. pins work is sold to Hubscribers only, payable .n delivery of each volume.
