A Word to Pillaburg.
;The editor of the Pitts]) Journal,` In re-
Ay to our article on Pennsittatida-sredit k evi:.
dently misunderstood our ? ridden': Wo had
intention of denying tho , ;righi, - ;:of the Le
gislature to fax interallt ort• the debt of the
tr3pramonwealth—we :questioned 4 the
Ppcy. Taxation is an incident to govern
ment, and its justification, in all doubtftil cases,
islin its necessity. No ono has cause to com
plain when it is imposed equally. The decree
Cr4'unTPXY - o.istin, f , that all the world
should be taxed t " will, ho faithfully observed
tS the end of time.
We merely remarked, in commenting upon
the article' of
,tini:Londtin Times upon • our
State credit, that 'the' tax upon the interest on
one lam Offended•in thii—that it was a direct
'alteintion of the terms of the'original contract.
In - Yeply to tbis;tho lemma contends that the
right of tatation was reserved, and that when
the bans of the'CoMmonwealth were negoiia
ted, it was with the tacit understanding that,
in future, the State could reducti the interest.
In support of this position of the Journal, we
ourselves cited the practice of England, which,
at ono period of her history, funded her loans
by creating a now one and giving to the hold
ers a certificate for a larger amount of princi
pal and reducing the interest thereon, so that
the interest on • the new lean at the reduced
rate, was precisely "equal to the interest re
delved oii the old—the object of this being to
6iluce the rate of interest in the realm, with.
out impairing the contract, Now, we believe
this is accomplished in another way—by re
deeming the loan at par, or giving to holders
the option to accept new certificates bearing
the reduced rate of interest.
We are gratified, however, to notice the
the Journal evinces a sensitiveness on the
point of municipal credit, and hail it as a favo
rable omen. It betokens a returning sense of
the obligation it owes, as a censor of public
morals, to' endeavor to rescue its own local
„financial credit from the imputation It justly
labdrs under In refusing to provide for the in
terest on its municipal indebtedness. The
Object of our article was to deplore that state
Of public sentiment in Allegheny county which
fvould sanction a violation of its contracts, and
its persistent refusal, after a decree of the Su
promo Court, to provide for the interest upon
its municipal subscriptions to railroad enter
prises. These obligations were purchased upon
the faith and credit of Allegheny county. Her
citizens Canna, complain now; if they re
mained silent at the time when they ought to
liave spoken, they must remain silent when
1 they want to speak and ought not. The citi
zens of Allegheny comity well knew, at the
time of these subscriptions, that a social COM-
pact was being made, involving a pledge of
their taxes, and these are bound, by their tacit
acquiescence in'the action of their authorities,
to those who trusted in their promises as a safe
and undoubted security.
Nor are these bonds in the hands of stock
jobbers on Third street alone; they aro mostly
held in our city by -bona fide purchasers, and
in trust for widows and orphans. Perhaps
'one-third of all that is held here is in a fiduci
ary capacity; for these securities, besides be
ing made a legal investment for trust funds,
were, at one time, in great favor with our Or
phans' Court.
In conclusion, we will add that we had no
disposition to imitate the Pharisee, in invidi
misty 'contrasting the credit of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. At the time when private capi
tal was inadequate to the development of our
State resources, our city, like Pittsburg,
loaned her credit largely to the construction
of railroads that would increase the trade and
eririch our citizens, and as a measure of self
protection from rival projects of other States.
Mame of these investments , have not been
productive, and expectations have not been
realized, no one will deny but that the body
politic has derived the benefits of closer com
munication. In alluding to the credit of Phi
ladelphia, we merely wished to encourage our
fellovi-citizens of Allegheny county, and espe
cially these who reside in the Birmingham of
America; fur while our city pays the interest
upon over five millions of dollars subscribed
to non-Paying railroads, Pittsburg and Alle
gheny county aro only called upon to provide
for the interest upon a much smaller amount.
The Pike's Peak Gold Mines.
Notwithstanding' the unfavorable reports
which have been made of the Pike's Peak
gold mines, it is still stoutly contended that
a large 'amount of gold is being discovered
in'tliat region. A special' commissioner rc
contiv_appointed by Governor "Bracx, of Ne
braska,' tti - ovomli,,, the west
ern portion of that Territory, has made a very
tlattering'statement of its quern) riches. We
have also before us the Rocky Mouotaltt Qold
RepOrter (printed at Mountain City, in the
new mining regions) of the 17th ult. It co
pies a communication, giving an nufavorable
report of the mines, from the Missouri Re
publican, and pronounces its statements un
true. It says:
" Messrs. Gridley d: Henderson, of Cass county,
lowa, bought two chime of one hundred feet each,
of J.ll. Gregory, on the Gregory lode, for the sum
of $21,000, to be paid aeortam part, so taken out.
Messrs. IL a 11. have kindly furnished us with tho
following,account of four days' work : Juno 18,
993 dirt.; June 20,1,041 dwt.; June 21,1,139 dart. ;
June* 22, 785 dwt. ; besides they retorted from
what they washed out of the blankets, during that
four days work, over 400 darts. Messrs. G. ,t 11.

so far from its being given up, if 'More Anon'
were to get 25 cents for every word in his long let

he could make money enough to buy it. If More
Anon' will consult thh columns of No. 3, of this
paper, be will find that on the 17th day of August
Messrs. G. a 11. washed 508 dwt. from four bushels
of dirt.
"Mr. J.R. Leeper, of Fgrmington, 111., bought
a claim on the Gregory lode of Pefrees a Co. for
$7,500. Mr. L. has permitted us to copy from his
books an account of one week's work : Jima b,

The Wyoming.
The United States steamer Wyoming dropped
down to (ho fort on Tuesday afternoon, 4th inst.,
to take in the remainder of ammunition, and, hav
ing lain there during the night, got under way at 9
A. M., on the sth, and proceeded down the river,
passing Chester at 9.40 A. M.; Newcastle at 11 A.
M., Liatone at 12.10 P. M., Brtoy of the Middle at
2 P. M., Buoy of the Brom', at 4.5 P. M., and
rounded to off Lewes, Delaware, at 51'. M., when,
having landed a passenger, she proceeded to sea at
0 o'clock, bound to the Paciflo on a three-years
cruise. During the passage down the river and
bay the capacity of her machinery was tested up
to nearlyeleven hundred home-power, and at times
making eighty-five revolutions per minute.
There are a few facts in relation to this vessel
worthy of note. First, she has been built
and sent to sea before either of the five others
(contracted for at the seine time) has applied
steam to her machinery, being at toast four
months in favor of this oily in the time required to
construct a vessel of her size ; and second, while
her machinery, built by Merrick st Sons, of this
city, bee in every respect come up to the guarantee
given by them to the Nail Department ; its cost
is twenty-five thousand dollars loss than is paid by
the Government in Now York for the same thing.
Wo trust that the Navy Department will not
overlook these facts. The advantages of time, as
well as money, have always been, and are now
snore than over, in our favor in the construction of
war steamers, and unless these old proverbs, that
time is money and ecotiontyis wealth, aro false, it
Is the Interest of the Oovernmeht to sustain,

The Great Balloon Voyage.<: :
The Watertown (N. Y.) 'Reforsher . .;Lf the
sth blatant Contains 'an account of the balloon
ascension of Mr. LA., Monixam and Mr. Mo
nocle, limb Watertown on Thursday, the 22d
written by the latter. They ascended at
5.33 P. M.,'and In she minutes were far above
the clouds. At 5.50 they were at least two
miles high—thermometer 84 degrees. They
continued to ascend very rapidly, and at 6.10
the thermometer indicated a temperature of 18
degrees. The balloon then began to descend,
and a quantity of ballast was thrown over.
At about half past seven they descended into
a!valley near a high mountain, but as the place
looked forbidding they threw over 30 petunia
of ballast and rose again. In about twenty
minutes they made another effort to descend,
but found themselves surrounded by a dense wit
derness and over a small lake. They then threw
over all their ballast but 18 liounds, and, alter
getting over the wilderness, settled down by
the side of a tree to wait till morning. Much
rain fell through the night, and they became
thoroughly drenched with it.. At about six
o'clock next morning they threw overboard all
their remaining ballast) blankets, shawls,
and rose again. They were rapidly driven
northward over an unbroken wilderness, and
concluded that they had gone too (hr. Mr.
LlAnnocw. says :
"As the current was driving us still to the north,
we dare not stay up. as we were drifting further
and still further to that ' frozen tide' from which
wo know there was no escape. Mr. La M. seized
the valve cord and discharged gas, and we de
scended in safety by the side of a tall spruce.
We made the Atlantic fast by her anchor, and for
a moment talked over what we should do. We had
not a mouthful to eat ; no protection at night from
the damp ground; were distant we knew not how
far from habitation ; wore hungry to start with ;
no earthly hope of raising a fire, anti no distinct
idea as to where we were. We settled in our own
minds that we were either in John Brown's tract or
in the groat Canada wilderness—to the south, we
thought, of the Ottawa—and know that a course
south by east would take us out, if we had strength
enough to travel tho distanee. La M. stepped up
to the balloon and gave the edge of the basket a
parting shake, saying, Good byo, old Atlantic,'
and I fancied I could see a tear in his honest eye
when he said it."
They then started to the south, on foot, and
after travelling about a mile and a half came to
the bank of a small creek, upon which they
found an old pork barrel with a Montreal in.
speetion mark upon it, from which they con
eluded they were in Canada. After travelling
on Friday up the unknown creek, they diem*.
cred an uninhabited lumber shanty, in which
they spent the night. The next morning they
built u raft, in the hope that they could be
floated out of the wilderness, as the lumber Is
floated out in the spring; but they encountered
great difficulties from the shallowness of the
waters, and from entering large lakes where
they lost the channel entirely. Thus several
weary days of suffering wore away. j Mr. HAD
DOOR Bays:
" It had now been four full (lays since we ate
meal. All we bad eaten in the mean time was a
frog apiece, four clams, and a few wild berries,
whose acid properties and bitter taste had proba
bly done us more harm than good. Our strength
was beginning to fail vary fast, and our systems
wore evidently about to undergo an extraordinary
change. I did not permit myself to think of food—
the thought of a well-covered table would have
been too much. I thought over all of poor Strain's
sufferings on the Isthmus of Darien, where ho, too,
was paddling a raft down an unknown stream, but
never believed be could stand half the amount of
suffering be did. 'Besides, ho had means to make
a fire—we had none.
" Its was upon a stream which he know would
lead to the sea and safety—we were upon waters
whose flow we knew really nothing ot, and were
as much lost as though in the mountains of the
moon. But we could not give it up so,' and took
fresh courage es troubles appeared to thicken.
" Well, we turned the raft around, and poled her
seek toward the place where we had entered this
last lake. We had gone about a mile when wo
heard the sound of a gun, quickly followed by a
second report. No sound was ever so sweet to me
as that. We hulloed as loud es we could a good
many times, but could get no response. lye kept
our poles going, and had gone about half a mile,
when I called La Mountafit's attention to what I
thought was 4 smoke curling up among the trees on
the aide of a bill. my own eyesight had begun to
fail me to an extent that I could not depend upon
it when a long, steady gaze was necessary. lie
said it was smoke, and that hp thought just below
it, on the bank, wee g bark canoe. In to few mo
ments the blue smoke rolled gently, yet uninista
bly, above the tree tops, and we felt that we wore
saved. Such a revulsion of feeling was almost too
much for us. We could hardly behove our senses,
and credited anything favorable to our condition
with the utmost caution. Our bitter disappoint
ments had taught us that lesson.
" Wo paddled the raft with the ends of our poles
directly: zeros the lake, near, perhaps, three
tourths of a mile whip, and made for the canoe. It
proved to ben large one, evidently an Indian's.
Up the bank I pressed, leaving Da Afountain at
the oanoo to cut off a retreat by the Indian, in
case he was timid and wished to avoid us. I canoe
at once upon the shanties of a' lumbering wood,
and frogs the chimney of the furthest building a
broad voipipe of sraoho was rising. I halloed—a
noise was heard inside, and a nohte-looking Indian
came to the door. traits - patiez Praneais (' was

the dense, uninhabited forest, whose only limit was
the Aretie olyele. In a word, we were nearly 300
miles in a due uurth muse from Watertown, in
latitude 47.
" pinnor was all ready. The party conalsted of
four persons—Mr. Cameron, and his assistant, who
was also named Dameron; Laltlab MacDougall—a
half-breed—and his sop Boatmen. I despatched
the young Indian for ba )Fo u ntain, wife came in
after a moment, the absolute picture or wretched
ness. Alt that the cabin contained was freely ten
dered us, and we began to cat. Language is in
adequate to express our sensations while doing so.
The clouds had all lifted from our sombre future,
and the !slyer lining' shone all the brighter for
the deep dar new O mni& which wo had passed.
"Here le hie itafti'that the stream we cause

creek; the largo lake we sailed tirouhd Is called
Bostediong lake, and drains into Boskotong
which floWs into the Gatineau. Tito Gatineau joins
the Ottawa opposite ,Ottawa City. Mr. Cameron
assured us that these streams api en tkirtpous, and
in many rdaces so rapid, that no set of mon could
get a ft* 4q n, no matter how well they know
the country, nor liov ip,Reh prorbions they

Mr. HADDOCK concludes 1,4 1 1 , tlFrOive "
follows :
" Beyeral general conclusions and remarks shall
tertninate the nerrettyo, already too long. ' Why
did you permit yourselves to go so tar "P will
naturally Impelled. To which We eeP Only reply
that the wind was exceedingly light when we
ascended ; that we were very soon among the
clouds, and consezonntly unable to take cognizance
of our (sours°, or fo Judge bow fait we were travel
ling. Perhaps it Is well hero to rem ark that when
you are sailing In a balloon you urn utterly un
conscious of motion, unless you eon sea the earth,
Nor can you tell, by a compass, In which direction
you aro travelling, unless you are sufficient of an
astronomer to judge from • the shifting angles
formed by epttain stars. In a word, if you can
not see the esrth, you cannot toll how fast,
nor In which direction you move. This will,
perhaps, explain why w 6 sgronsciously drifted
air to latitudes so remote. Viken we rose
01)076 "ha thick 11100(01 of clouds, beton con
down, we latdOubtedly struck a rapid curieet
which carried us Dartheast. It to my opinion
that, after we bad trvelled in this current
AMA one hour, we struck 'another °punt, from a
variation of Dar altitude. which bore u 6 off to the
northwest. When wo descended near ttie earth
the first time, we ought to have comp down ; but
we were unwilling to land at night in a deep wood,
even though we knew we were slot far from habita
tions, and we thought it beet to pick put o better
place. This wee our error, and It mane very near
being a fatal one to us—it, certainly was 00 to the
Atlantic. In trying toTtnd our better plums' to
land, we were, unconsciously up longer than we
supposed, and as we were travelling in a current
which 'wept us 04' to the northward at the rate of
100 miles an hour, we WOO ronehed a country not
pleasant nor profitable to land 4 , lortiloon in."
Spalding's Prepared Glue.
To have a favorite piece of china chipped or
broken, a pet book with its binding torn, a nice
piece of furnituto fractured, is a terrible and
temper-destroying nuisance, Not without a reme
dy, as we can testify. Mr. Spalding, trio adver
tises his Prepared Ohio in The Press to-day, soot
no some of it yesterday. We devoted two hours
to its practical application—result, two carved
chairs completely restored, many odds and ends of
china and glass made lit for 4130, a tattered map
made as good as now, several daguerreotype cases
renovated, and an old folio edition of lierodolus
and Homer, printed in the year 1000, whose al
thine boards (literally boards) were split, made
strong enough to last for another century or two.
We might have mended any quantity of children's
broken toys, but caved in after an hour at the
worst of them. This Prepared Glue, which is a
liquid about as thick as glue, and applied by a
brush which accompanies each bottle, is so indis
pensable in a hones that we now wonder how we
could have gone without it.

The commercial restrictions with Brazil have been

Correspondence of Tito Prom]

' Wianinesna, Oct. G, 169.
It seems to .bo genera* conceded that tifo
Wa
onal Democratic Committee, which is to meet at
Washington on the 7th - December, for the pur
pose of fixing the time when the Charloetort'Con ,
vontion shall be held, will agree upon a period be;
twoon the first of April and the first of May, - 1860.
The apprehension that Charleston Is not a healthy'
city after the first of May, and the fact that the
committee has no power to change the place whore.
the Convention is to be held, will compel an early
Meeting of a body the doings of which will attract
universal attention, and which are now the subject
of general speculation. We shall, therefore, have
a long Presidential campaign, next year. The
friends of Judge Douglas are not to be bout:Bled
by delay, and should rally in favor of the cattail,
period. Every day adds to his strength, but if the
National Convention should ho postponed until
Juno or July, the Administration will hare a
larger margin to oporoto against him.
Since Mr. Buchanan has loft fur Lancaster very
little in done in the departments beyond the ordb,
nary current bushman. lie attends to imporlAnt
matters himself, and hen given particular inn rna-
tious that nothing shall be consummated until his
return. It is astonishing how kind he has become
within the last two weeks. He is exceedingly
anxious to see everybody from Pennsylvania.
Your old friend Edward, at the door of the White
House, scams to have had a sort of general order
to admit every man who has a Pennsylvania faze'.
The President has relaxed his frigidity, his icy
nature has melted down, and he will now take by
the hand all those whom for the last two years he
has repelled with undissembled indifference and
scorn.
I stated some days ago that Judge Moon, the
American minister at the Court of St. Cloud, was
entirely willing to give up his position whenever
the President required it. I am now convinced
that if only %Vim B. Reed will behave himself pro
perly prior to the election, and if Mr. Dallas, the
American minister to London, will return home
without any grumbling, that Pennsylvania may
have, in the person of the ex-minister to China, a
representative near Louis Napoleon.
Mr. Buchanan having effectually punished hie
frionds, feels that ho has so many enemies left to
reward that ho cannot fully gratify his taste in the
latter particular. It to a great slander that he
over intended to appoint Bennett minister to
Franco. That Bennett desired this appointment
under Pierce is certain, and that Mr. Buchanan
would like to give it to him is no loos certain ; but
in the face of the fact that Pierce refused the place
to him, and that the Senate would never confirm
his nomination by Buchanan, who supposes that the
editor of the Now York Herald has any chance?
I give it as my deliberate opinion, that Mr. Bucha
nan will either select Mr. Reed for London or for
Paris, unless some untoward event should onque.
You will perceive that Bon. Wm. Preston, the
American minister at the Spanish Court, Is called
home by the death of his father-in-law, Mr.
Wickliffe, in order to settle the vast estate falling
to the heirs of Mr. W., which will render the se
lection of another old-line Whig in the diplomatic
corps essential in order to carry out Mr. Bu
chanan's policy in this respect. It is true Ultra
are many excellent mon in Pennsylvania who have
a right to look forward to promotion in the event
of the return of Mr. Dallas, such, for Inatome, as
Mr. Brewer, of Franklin. Mr. Biddle Roberts, of
Pittsburg, and Mr. fit cdhead, of Northampton ; but
they are Democrats, and must, therefore, give way
to the exigencies of the ease.
A series of very able articles have appeared in the
National Intelligeneer—the old organ of the Whig
party—on the Territorial question; which, being
the most important issue before the American peo
ple, are entitled to great consideration, from the
foot that the writer professes to speak candidly,
and to arrive at conclusions without reference to
political prejudioes. ]laving read all these arti
cles carefully, I am compelled to pay a just tribute
to the fairness and skill with which the writer
has discussed them. I beg of you to allow me to
eopy the following conclusions, as proving emphati
cally the justice of your own position on this ques
tion, and the injustice of all those who aro opposed
to it:
That the plenary power of Congress over the Territo
ries was first denied with reference to the territory ac•
owed from Blexice by the treaty of Guadalupe Halal
go'
That this denial was uttered in oppositton to the de
clued purpose of many Northern Representatives am
Senators who advooatod the Congressional prohibitim
of slavery in the whole of the now region.
That in thin division of sentiment between the Norti
and the South, Congress found itself far a time unable to
agree UPoll nny legislation fur the organisation of the
Territories destined to be formed put of the Mexican
acquisition.
That the principle of "non-Intervention by Con
gress" and the dogma of " popular sovereignty in the
Territories" were invented, At this time, for the pur
pose of relieving Congress from a duty which it had
previously discharged, but which it seemed no longer
able to perform with the requisite discretion and im
partiality.
That the expedient thus devised And applied to the
Territories in IMP was different/y Interpreted by its
patrons in the North and in the Souththe former hold
ing that the inhabitants of the Territories were au
thorized to decide the slavery question for themselves
while in a Territorial condition, and the latter holding
that nny such legislation, if hostile to slavery, should
ho declared null and void by the courts, 40111.19 . 0 con
trary, in Moir Judgment , to the Constitution of the
United Qtates, wbiofr, if wee said, protected slave pro
perty in the Territnties.
That the Kansas-Nebraska tall,
Yrrh repealed 00
lissouri ynalmsr, eutioet
tq Iwo wient interpretationa in relined to the extent
of hip legislative powers conferred on the Inhabitants
o f the Territ i niss igbiht remaining in their TerYitorial
condition.
That the friends of the bill agreed to leave the pal
tuition of these differences to the decision of the 8u
premo Court of the United States.
That such a decision has since boon supposed to be
made by the court in the case of Vied Scott, but that,
unrortunately, the friends of the Kansan-Nebraska net
are no mole agreed with respect to the points settled by
the anid decielon than with respect to the terms of the
ambiguous measure which the court was expected to
make preeiso and degnito in its meaning.
'Nat, on the one hind, the Northeraldh Brenta of the
Ktinsal-tiebiaslia fiitt Understand the ti&irt'to have de
cided that Congress oaq intervene fur the protection of
slave property, under the gonstitution. OSOr pe far as
that property is protected

That, on the other hand, its Southern adherents give
the decision a much wider scope, embracing the right
of protection for slave property in all the Territories of
the Union, and by special legislation of Congress.

Company, asking for the adoptiou of an ordieassoe_
giving tho linemen, er care of that company the right of
way over the road on Market street, with the privilege
id running as fast as the passenger railroad oars. Re
ferred to tlwe Committee on Railroads.
A cropuiumeation was received RomH . B.M. Birkin
bine, (AIM 'Engineer ol the Watering Department,
stating
materials and workmen hiLvemiltenn.ctrelttso,
and also that the reasons for discharging the em moors
wore, that one refused to do Ins duty, and the other
one appropriated property of the city to Ins own use.
It was intimated at a former meeting of Councile that
the shop at Sixteenth and Hamilton streets belonged to
the Chief Engineer. The Engineer complains that
Councils, as well as the Committee on Water, have
noted unfairly toward, him, and made allegation, which
were unfair, unjust. and wholly false.
Dr. Sites moved that the communication be handed
back to the Chief Engineer of the Water-works, wills
instructions to confine his remarks to the truth.
Mr. W. B. Thomas seconded the motion. Ile had
never heard of a more insulting communication being
sent to any deliberative body . He de clared that the
whole document abounded with falsehoods from begin
nine to end—there Was geareely a statement 111 it but
what was false! Mr. Thomas spoke at some length.
Be said when Mr, Birkinbine appeared before the com
mittee appointed to investigate the subject, he was re
presented by paid counsel—a member of Councils. Ile
declared that Mr. B. had discharged two good men and
einfloyed incompetent mon. by *lnch two of the pumps
at i awmount had been eXPlnded.
Ar. O'Neill concurred with the last epeaker. He
would be ashamed if he had voted for such a man.
Mr. Cress* ell made a fewemarks, Ito knew Mr.
Birkinbine to be a tittle. nett, ty rapt. * lto *as disposed
to walk roughshod over any one.
Dr. Site, woe sorry for the Chief Engineer,
for he
had sunk below the staudard of a gentleman. . Ho was
on the committee of inveidigatlon when the Chief ap
peared, nor daring to look any menthe rof the commit
tee en the face. Ile looked like a culprit. The speaker
reiterated what had occurred before the committee,
and the frivolous reasons given by the Chief Engineer
Mr discharging the engineers. Among Hem was one
that one of the engineers had taken a quantity of mil
which belonged to the city. It was afterwards proven
that the coal woe taken in open, broad daylight, and erne
to be replaced. Besides this, Mr. B. had confessed
that he had told n
he in the matter. They hid a duty
they owed to the/Nets es. and the lie should be thrown
back into his teeth.
Mr. Miller contended that the Chief Engineer. in
sending that tionnounication to Councils, had only done
h ;Adel.) , to himself and hie Calmly.
Mr. Quinn was sorry that the lest speaker appeared
there as the apologtst of the Chief Engineer, a man
who was charged with being a miscreant, who had been
tried. who Was condemned, and to now a convict! He
trusted the communication would be lent back. Ile
trusted they would not quietly permit themselves to he
called liars by such a creature.
111 r. }Victor pulsed to amend, that the communication
be returned to the Chief Engineer, as being difiresPect
lel to that body,
Dr. Bites neeeeted the amendment, as Select Council
lied passed it In that way.
Mr. Wister said if they received each communi
cntions es those they were no longer ht to represent
the mete.
Mr. Justice said he was not so thin shinned as to see
anything insulting in this communication.
Mr. Potter and Mr. Reilly wore in fat or of receiv

thought they would still further degrade thernselt OS by
rejecting it.

PlilLstiELPH Is, October 6, 1859.
Probably there are few even of those who, under the
law, act upon it in making loans for our city pur
poses, that are aware that the principle which now
regulates and provides for the repayment of those me
nici pal loans is traced back to Thomas Jefferson as its
author. That great statesman said:
"It is a wise rule, and should be fundamental in a
Government disposed to cherish its oredit, and at the
some time to restrain the use of it within the limits of
tis o,c...sitars. never to borrow a dollar without Laying a
ax in the same instant for paying the interest annu
ally and the prinetpal within a given term, and to con
eater that tax as pledged to the creditors on the public
faith On such a pledge es this, eacredly observed, a
Government may always command, on a reasonable in
terest, all the lendable money of its citizens, whilst tne
necessity of nn equivalent tax is a salutary warning to
them and their constituents against oppression, bank
rural; and i n.o ts t i u n ,, e i v h i p ta . bl h e t ti d o e nt i 4zir
f p ro c , e n s. a r n ezgu e t r i e e n ri t: ' .
to
the principle laid down before nor else, in the shape of
good credit and consequent high prices for bonds given
under that principle, it in instruct', e to turn to the great
moneyed centre of the world, London, and examine
the effects which greater or leas neglect of it have pro
d need upon the credit of different nations.
There the national debt of Erie
is an exception tp
all rules, as the English believe that it will never be paid
elf. hilt that its interest will never be defaulted, and
that, conaequentiy it is the safest investment to secure
an income from in the world. Bug, as to other nations,
the price their loans bring In the Englieh market, com
pared with consols, is at once a key to their amnia
strength, vitality, and, the stability of their Govern
ments—the Latter especially, because bankruptcy in the
Goirernment is almost synonymous with revolutinn.
The knglish capitallers have loaned their money free
ly to Portugal, Ppais, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, all of
which Governments have expressed their thanks by
repudiation, or something equivalent to it.
Eittid has also parted with its capital freely to Rus
sia, °h
Holland, &c., which have sustained their credit.
Howtee these Government loans are appreciated in the
London market may be seen in the following summary
of values in Aaqust, 184) , with the rate of interest

Great Illisgionary Demonstration at
Ja)ne's Hall, last Evening.
One of the many overflowing religious oceasicns ut
this city. of the present week, was the great Union mit.
sionar) meeting held at Jayne's Hall last evening,
The meeting W a called at Hi o'clock. at which hour
Judge Strong, Rh o officiated as chairman, opened the
exercises tit announcing the first hymn, after the strig
mg of which the audience avers led in prayer by the
Rev. M r. Moore, of Westchester.
After The prater, the chairman made a brief nildress,
In which he referred in complimentary terms to the
oloriTtnen and others who are now in this city attending
the annual meeting of the Board oh Coininissioners for
Foreign Mmiuns. Re concluded by introducing to the
audience the Rev. Dr, Parker. of New York.
Mi. Parker said he thought he could goons the en,inos
of this, front the usual character of these annual convo
cations of a anciett which had for its object the conver
sion of this lost world to Christ. Jo rev iewin.r. this in
strumentality, the speaker proposed to sat n few things
/Omit requisite meant for carrying it on First of an.
thobe who were engaged in it needed the !Autism of the
poly fih.pit. Then {Ley wanted men, and they wanted
m.ItY. The two latter reculsites weep sure to copse if
the fu mer WAS obtained. With regard to the mro.ther
were sure to come with the res wet of pure religion.
While the mono was usually supplied to !longed. it
was to rho young that they must look for the noire
twos in this work. the that would come
was the mein y—the itch which was the most difficult of
all others to exorcise was that of AlariCe. . 4 Ye cannot
serve Clod and Mammon," was the divine injunction
whirl he wished to impress. The Church had from the
beginning been addicted to the worship of money .and tt
was still.
Ile wished now to Mier n few suggestions with regard
to liquidating the debt of thin society. whieh, he said,
was but eau Cou—a mete bagatelle. lf, said he. ea ery
one would contribute is little, the work would soon lie
accomplished.
He had once made the suegestton, at a missionary
meeting, for a, ery communicant to contribute one &l
iar n year till the debt was paid, to which the rick at
once responded as a beautiful idea! The speaker pro
ceeded to enlarge upon the policy and practicability of
sun,lry plans, some of whizli Le was free to confess
he would not have the pour:ice to advance before iris

their native tongue:" fie a ieniertil thing' the were re -

serried nothing in raying that there were no Christmas
on the face of the earth whit lived mere strictly in ao
corittnee with the spirit of the Gospel than they.
They wore anxious to tecome_ missionaries them
selves, and carry the glad tidings of salvation to the
heathen of India, and beyond it: Those people had
apparently undergone a mighty and sudden revolution in
this great matter of receiving the Compel., Tote he
deemed to be the result of a gradual prepamtiOn of
sees. Like the mighty iceberg, which though years,
under the influence of the lathing sea, or, it Might be.
occasional genial sunshine, had been gradually loosen
ing, and nt last parted from Its mooringajti an instant
so had this change been sudden and effective. This, he
knew, was alone attributable to the moo of Goa.
In conclusion, he commended the greateubject of
mission. to the prayers of Gare.poopie. Earth and it•
objects a ere transitory, but the cause of God was sta
ble. 'The kingdom for which they were laboring was
ete-nal, and every dollar contributed from the heart to
its advancement would be transformed into eternal
gold,
Tha Rev. Dr. Pomeroy. of Boston, one of the secreta
ries of the American Board. was next introduced by
the chairman. There was only one aspect of this cause
that he purposed to speak of at this time. One year ago
to-day he had set sail for England. The Torkish Mis
sion Aid Society had, while he was there, occupied moat
of his labors, having in the course of a few months ad
dressed one hundred thousand people with regard to it.
A snort lectiiie on the peculiarities of John Mall was
here indulged in, without any particular reference to
the immediate object of the meeting. The major por
tion of his sp eech was devoted to the efforts which - had
been Made , and were making, in the rnited Kingdom. t
introduce Christianity in the 'Turkish Empire.
Ile was followed by other gentlemen Interested in Fo
reign 51183i0113, and the proceedings, upon the whole,
were of a highly interesting character. -
PREMIERS AWARDED AT THE LATE. PAIR.—Ia
examining the written list of premiums awarded by the
State Agricultural Society at their Fair, held at Pomolton
last week, we find that no less than three were awarded
to Mr. John S. Clark, of this city, for several highly im
proved Stoves which be exhibited. One of there was
awarded for the celebrated Silver's Genuine Gas-burn
ing Parlor Stove of Mr. Clark's manufacture, to which
he has this season added several valuable improvements.
These stoves are admirable for Parlor, Office, Chamber.
or Dining-room use, and bare been demonstrated to rave
about Sixty per cent, of fuel over any other stove in use.
The improveMents are as follows: a Safety Self-acting
Door, which effectually prevents explosion; a Betot.
which obviates the difficulty heretofore encountered
from the accumulation of ashes and cinders between the
outer plate and the cylinder a east iron Mouth-owe,
which is greatly more durable than the sheet-iron ones
heretofore employed; a patent Ventilator at the top of
the Stove, which mat once a waiter of convenience and
ornament, and his admirable new style of knobs, by
which the draw is regulated. Another premium wee ob
tained on his Otui-burning Cooking Stores, which hare
become deservedly popular for their many excellent
Qualities, and still another premium was awarded on hie
new patent Comet Kitchen Range. Ws are happy to
know that these premiums evince but a lust approscia
tion of merit on the part of the judges, and would re
commend all who are in want of a good Stove or Range.
to call on Mr. Clark, whose wararoona, at n. 1A) Mar
ket street, present at this time a busy scene, suggestive
in no mean degree of his liberal mode of doing beeiteia.
THE CHINA AND QUEENSWARE BUSINERS.—rpon
inquiry among the various branches of the jobbinz trade
in this cut), we learn that in no department hoe the
season's business been more flattering than in that of
China and general Queensware. Of a Siti4loholl343 on
Fourth.street—that of Messrs. Turnbull, Allen. & Co-.
Nos. 23 and 25—lee learn that their trade this fall has
been unprecedented. This (act is mainly owing to the
admirnble stocks in this line, which l'luladelphia was
this season prepared to oder. In the early part of the
season we saw in the extensit e house shore named, an
immense stook, filling five large stories and a basement,
all of their own direct importation, and notwithatandini
the drafts which have been made upon it, their ware
rooms stall present a plethoric appearance, a large pro-
portion of which will no doubt yet be exhausted tivdi
the near trade. The Pittsburg Glass Agency of this es
liblislitnent is an important feature and should not be
lost sight of by buyers coming to this rrarket.
