In Wendell'Phillips’s last fiery speech at Ne w
York, he alluded to Mrs. .L. Maria Child, the*
authoress,, who had written to Governor Wise,
asking to be permitted to nurse Captain Brown,
the leader, of the Harper’s Ferry invasion. The
. Richmond JSnpurer, of Saturday last, contains the
correspondence between Mrs. Child and Governor
~ Wise.' She addresses the Governor as follows:
“ I, and allmy large circle of Abolition acquaint
ances, were taken by'Burprise ,when- news came,
of Capt/Brown’s reeent attempt; nor do I know of
a single person who would have approved of it, had
they been apprised of his intentions. Dqt I, and
thousands of • others/ feel a natural impulse of
•' sympathy for the brave and suffering man.: Per
• naps Goa* who sees the inmost of our soals, per
ceives some such sentiment in your heart also. He
'/ needs mother or sister to dress his'wounds, and
Speak soothingly to him. Will you allow me to
perform, that mdsslon of humanity? If you will,
. may God bless you for the generous deed!
* ‘Xjhave been, for yean, as
Htionisti and I should morn to deny It. or apologize
‘ for it, ns muoh as John Brown himself would do,'
Believing in peace principles, I deeply' regret the
. step that the old veteran has taken, while I honor
his humanity toward those who became his pris
eners. .But, because it is my habit to’ be as open
as the daylight, I will also say that if X believed
our religion justified men In fighting for freedom, I
should consider the enslaved, .everywhere, as best
entitled to thatrlghk Buch'jm avowal is a frank ex
. pre&sion of my. sense of natural justice, But I
should despise mytelf utterly, if any eirotunsianoes

offering : man. - drive you my word of honor,
which was sorer' broken, that I would see each
. pennlsaoh solely and ringly v for the purpose, of
nursing your prisoner, and for no ether purpose
whatsoever.”
• The subjoined' reply of Governor Wise is emir
neatly characteristic:
“ Bicnwoss (Va.), 00t.'2d, - 1859.
“ Madam: Tours of the 25 m was received by'me
yesterday, and at my earliest leisure I respectfully
reply to it: that I will forward the letter for John

Jefferson, at Charlestown, Va., for tho - crimes of
murder/ robbery; and treason, which you ask me to
transmit to him. -1 will comply with your request,
. in the only way whioh seems to the proper, by en
closing. it to the Commonwealth’s attorney, with
the request thut he wilt ask the permission of
' the court to hand it to the prisoner. Brown, the
; ■ prisoner, is now in the hands of the Judiciary, not
of the Executive, of this Commonwealth. You aide
me farther to allow you to perform the mission ‘of

; soothingly to him.* By this/of course, you mean
to he allowed to visit him in his cell; and to minis*

a not he so allowed, madam ? Virginia'and

prudence of risking’ any experiment upon the peace
of a society very much excited by the crimes with
whose chief author you seem to sympathise so
muoh; but still, I repeat, your motives and avowed

as X am concerned, do mj duty in protecting your

Will go against proscribing such Democrats as
Douenas, Bbkokineiikjb, Guthkie, and Dan
tas, or any other who may not bo in favor
with the Administration of Hr. Buchan am.
, We. consider this result a just victory of
thoso callod as “Rebels” by tho Administra
tion clique of office-holders, who to help their
masters, spent large sums of money, collected
from their subordinates for the ostensible pur
pose of aiding in. the last State election, but
the greater part of which was retained to ope
rate upon this. The sum, it is said, amounted
to seven or eight thousand dollars.
-The Democrats who have so nobly disen
thralled themselves from the grossest tyranny
at the polls, most look to it 10-day , or they
will find themselyes toli In many Instances, as
they were at the last election of tho exeentive
committee. Dot them go in numbers to the

to obtain votes. If*o have heard of several

navy yard was closed at noon and no ouo ad
mitted daring tho afternoon to work, all the
employees having been compelled to attend
the delegate elections and to vote the ticket
prepared lor them by their superiors, under
orders, no doubt, from Washington.
. The. whole canvass was. conducted by tho
office-holders in tho most shameless manner.
This is the beginning of the end of that misrule
in this city, or wo much, mistako tho character
of its Democracy. Only, such scenes as those
of yesterday were wanting to arouse it to a
fall sense of its danger and its duty.
Organization ol the House.
Wo copy the following paragraph from tho
letter of “ Independent”—the Washington
correspondent of tho Philadelphia North
dmericai^- dated November oth, and pub
lished in that paper of yesterday:
“Mr. Underwood, of Kontuoky, a highly ret
spectable member of tbo last Bouse ofßepiesenta
tires,'whovoonßlstontly and courageously resisted
the lieoompton fraud In’ all its phases, and united
with Northern opposition, is a candidate for
the Clerkship, If, as now seems to be conceded,
the Speakership should go tgthe North, tho Couth
will have a fair claim to this position, and It could
not be more worthily conferred than upon Mr. Un
derwood, who is a gentleman of high and unex
ceptionable character,who would give dignity to tho
affair; and reflect, credit upon the party vrhioh
might cUct him. No posslblo objection oan be
urged against him. either politically or personally,
and just at this time his eieotion would do much
to silence the base clamor whioh has found such
unscrupulous utterance. When eo-ealled anti*
Uecompton Deraoorata recanted the faith they had
voluntarily professed, and under the threats of
power returned to the allegiance which they
had temporarily deserted, Mr. Underwood, and
the gallant Southern men who affiliated with
him, never faltered for an Instant. They wore true
thronghont, aotlng upon a principle, and not influ
enced l>y any motivo of passing oxpediesoy. And in
this connection, tho truth or history requires it
to be stated that, upon the Snal teat of the Kngljsh
bill—a contrivance of tho Administration—come of
thafew anti-Lecompton Democrats who did remain
true, while professing to be hatter Demoorata than
others with whom they differed, were constrained
to that eourse by the .firmness, of Mr. Broderick,
who reoently paid . the Density of hfa dovoted
fidelity, if he fact la'well known hero, that not
many hours before the vote on that hill; Mr. Doug
las himself was on the very point of oavlng in, with
aomo of his followers, whd did not surrender, and
that nothing bat the decision of the Senator from
California prevented that defection. - The same re
mark would apply to one or two membora of the
Honso, who were anxious to retrieve the false step
whioh they supposed had been taken, and to return
to the fold like erring bat repentant brethren. Mr.
Hiokman was not of this number; bat there ore
others who eiamored more loudly afterwards, that
were only restrained from bolting by the moral
forde of his example, and tho bold attitude assumed
by Hr. Broderiok. A little modesty in making de
mands at this time would be more beeoming, con
sidering their antecedents, and the besitattotfwbich
they exhibited at the oritleal hour.”
The'only two points in tho above paragraph
—marked thronghont, as it is, by character
istic nnihimess—that deservo notice, are the
allnsions to Senator Douglas, and to the course
ol the so-called “ Anti-Lecbmpton Demo
crats” in tho last House of Representatives
of the United States. Hr. Douglas needs no
defence as to his course on the great quostion
that has agitated the country since November
and December of 1857. Least of all, should he
be assailed by a writer for a Northern journal
professing to represent, candidly, the actions
of,public men at tho capital. His public re
cord, from his early antagonism of the Admln-
he is nobly con
tending for the great principle of self-govern
ment, is his own best defence. We loavo hint
with his record.'
Bnt something more should be said of the De
mocrats in the House of Representatives who
opposed theLeeompton scheme and tho English
iniquity, and never filtered., even for a mo
ment, in the course they assumed from the be
ginning, and who are so contemptuously
ignored in the above extract. If Mr. Brode
rick were living to-day, he would affirm what
we now assort—and we arc suro Mr. Hickman
himseli would not hesitate to declare—that
Henry Chapman of Pennsylvania, John B.
Haskin and Hobaoe F. Clarke of Hew
York, John G. Davis of Indiana, Joseph
C. MoKibdin of California, Garnbt B.
Adbain ,of New’ Jersey, and Isaac N. Mok
bis of Illinois, (like Broderick and Hick
man,) although surrounded by temptations, and
threatened and traduced in every conceivable
manner, bravely maintained the good tight from
the first to the last. Even when they saw those
who bad started out with them in opposition to
the Administration, as well of their own party
in the free States as a few Americans in the
Southern States, give way before the blan
dishments of power, they continued to adhere
to the truth. Every one of these men, with
the exception of MoKianra, who was defeated
in his appeal to the pooplo, and Chapman,
who refused a renomination, has been sus
tained for his course by the ballot-box. We
have no right to BpcaSt for such of them ns
have been returned to Congress; but this is
the first time wo have hoard that they have
made any «demands," or that any porson
has dared to make any “ demands" in their
name.
The Misses Heron Natali.
On Saturday afternoon, tho Directors of tho
Academy of Music gave a sort of improvised
Concert, at which the Misses Hehoh Natali
sang. Signor 80000 assisted. Owing to an
accident otir invitation did not reach 11s
until long after the appointed hour—tar too
lato, In fact, to be available. We have to
express onr regret, bccauso we understand
that the gifted and highly accomplished young
ladies sang with great success. This wo can
well believe, liecause we have heard them, at
private parties, boforo as well os since their
South American and Cuban tour, and the im
provement not only in their execution but in
their voices struck us os being very marked
indeed.
On next Monday evening, wo learn from
gonial and over-polite Mr. Beoxkt, super
intendent oi Musical Fund Hail, that the
Misses Hebon Natali will give a concert in
that room. Signor Rooeo will also sing. Wo
can promise the pnblic a treat of no ordinary
degree. The Natali sisters are very flue'
vocalists, with pure, good, expressive voices,
and they merit, in their own city, a portion,
at least, of the great patronage which wo are
so ready to extend to mere strangers. Theso
yonng vocalists, we are confident, require only
ordinary justice and fair acknowledgment to
beeomo bfilllant stars in our musical horizon.

JProgress of the Sunbury and Grie
Railroad.
Wo are happy to state that the work op the
Sunbary and Erie Railroad is progressing
with astonishing rapidity. It will bo recol-'
lectod that, on the 19th of May last, tho board
of managers of this road ! met at tho office of
the ooinpany, ip this city, for the purpose of
dooiding upon, the route of the, middle divi
sion, and also of placing It under contract.
This division is the last link of the road, and
extends from West oroek, St. Mary’s, Ridg
way, Clarion river, and Two-milo run, to a
point near Warren. Tho work was awarded
to tho firm of Milton Cortricjiit k Co.,
and they immediately proceeded with groat
energy to tho accomplishment of thoir task.
In an editorial article which appc&rod in The
Pbess on thp 20th of May wo apoko of these’
gentlemen as follows:
• “ They havo taken tbo entire work lot, and agreo
lo prepare tho same for tho suporstruoture lor a
definite sum, a largo amount of whioh is to ho paid
in stock of tho company at par. They have also
agrood to complete threo fourths of the work on or
before tho first day of January next, and the re
mainder by tho first of July following, whioh will
insure the entire completion and opening of tho
whole liae of tho Sunbury and Krio Bailroad, from
Philadelphia to the port of Erie, by November of
1889.
“ Since Mr. Morehond fans assnmod the presidenoy
of the Bunbnry and Brio Railroad, he has completed
one hondrod and sixty miles of graduation, upon
whioh the traok will bo laid, and wlll be finished
daring the present summer and autumn. Bevernl
gangs of tracklayers have boon at work for some
months at both extremes of tho road. The road
will be opened, with its connoctioni, from Phila
delphia to Look Haven, two hundred and sixty
miles, on or before the 25th of June next, end from
Brie to Warren, sixty-five miles, by the first of
October of this year.”
In ordet to show how energetically they
have prosecuted their contract, under the
active superintendence ofS. Dillon, Esq.,
and how fully they have been sustained by the
board of managers, and by the efficient presi
dent, ”W. G- Mobedkai), Esq., wo are now
authorized to state that forty miles of the
eighty of their contract have already been
graded and preparod lor the rails. This sec
tion of the road crosses the Alleghenies, and
has heretofore been considered the most diffi
cult on the entire route, and yet, within an
unprecedented short space of time, all the
obstaclos havo been overcome. It will thus
be aeon that the contractors aro steadily pro
grosßing in the realization of their expecta
tions, and in tho fulfilment of their promises.
But fifty additional miles now remain to bo
graded and prepared for tho rails. Thus
the wholo work will bo finished and in work
ing order by tho 4th of July of 18G0, being tho
time .fixed in tho contract with Gortmgdt &
Co. Tho Sunbnry and Erie is tho only road
uniting tho Atlantic with the lakes and the
Mississippi that crosses tho AUeghanies at on
easy grado, and it is being constructed at a
cost of not more than half the money expended
on other lines. -"We cahnot better conclude
this .article than by giving tho following ex
tract from Fernon’s United States Railroad
and Mining Register of tho 29th of October.
“ Affection for tho mother Commonwealth—Slate
pride—lies deeper than tho currents that are mov
odby motives and by feelings which take their
direction and their force from storm-winds and day
events. And, however local interests and plotting
and counter-plotting aspirants may divide and sub
divide on measures which t&ko their legal shape in
legislative acts, those only give lasting public satis
faction, and can withstand the impartial test of
historic inquiry and record, which are pervaded
with a tondoncy to build up and prosper the oities,
while developing and rendering available the vast
and varied rosouroes of tho Commonwealth, whoso
groatnou is the aggregation of the urban and the
rural populations under the jurisdiction of the laws
en&oted at Harrisburg, by representatives from
the several counties, and the consolidated oity,
respectively assembled. Milos.
From Sunbury to Brio oity, the wholo length
of the road is. 270
Eastern division, from Sunbury, 24 miles west
of Whetham..... 105
Middle division, from 24 miles west of Whot
ham to a point 20 miles east of Warren.... 80
Western division, 20 miles cost of Warren, to
Brie'oity 85
« On the Hasten* division trains run over eighty
one miles of road, and on the Western division
over forty-two miles of road. Inside of four weeks
the track will belaid down to Wamn, sixty-five
mtioa from Brio, when the Sunbury andErio Rail
road Company will have in use one hundred and
forty-six miles of road—being more thatf one half
their entire line. On the Eastern division, west of
Whotham, the graduation Is completed for a dis
tance of thirty-eight miles, to within two miles
east of Driftwood. On the western division, on the
twenty miles east of Warren, the graduation is pro
gressing. And of tho Middle division forty miles
aro graded.
From the data here given it will bo seen that
tho l&id-down track of the Sunbury and Brie Rail
road will, in a short time, measure eigbty-fivo
miles east from Brio oity, and one hundred and
nineteen mUeswest from Banbury; in other words,
that the company will toon have in operation, at
the ends of their line, twenty-four miles of road,
leaving but fifty-four miles to be finished, of wkloh
forty miles are now graded. Tho limit named in
the contracts for tho completion of tho graduation
is July, 1860, whioh limit,however, as is almoßt al
ways theease, will perhaps bo extended somowhat
beyond that tlmo. Meanwhile, the track-laying
will bepusherion, so that when the last sections
are graded, tire track-layers will soon, (hereafter,
fill the gap and complete tho iron way to Erie city.
u The rails used are from the Montour and Rough

Mill at Scranton.

kirk on the New York and Brie Railroad, nor be
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburg on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, neither should there be any change
of care betwoon Philadelphia and Erie city on the
Sunbury and Brie Railroad
“ Ana as, moreovor, tho State of Pennsylvania
and tho oity of Philadelphia and all localities on
the route be(weon the Delawnro river and Lake
Brie are interested as well in the equipment of tho
road as in tholayiog down of its track, and as, fur
thermore, the city of Philadelphia out of tho pro
ceeds of direct taxation pays six percent, interest
on $2,250,000 invested in the stock of the Sunbury
and Brie road—(that finished portion of (t too which
is operated by tho Northern Central Railroad for
Baltimore acoount)—suroly the State of Pennsyl
vania. in the prospective fiscal exigency of the oaso,
would best subserve her permanent Interests by re
leasing the company, for a term of years, from the
payment of tho interest accruing on tho bonds in
her possession, upon condition that the amount so
reloaded—sl7s,ooo poranfiuto—-should bo expended
for lccowotivos and cars, with which to operate tbe
road, after the rails are down.
“As the matter stands, tho Sunbury and Brio
Railroad Company aro using the proceeds of the
resale of thoso canals to build their road; and if
said proceodg and tho proceeds realisable from the
sole of tlio $3,500,000 of bonds roserved out of tho
$7,000,800 five per cent, mortgage, ono moiety of
which tho State received in consideration of pur
chase monoy for her canals, be not sufficient to
build tho road and equip it, why then the State, on
her bonds, like tbo city on her shares, should ac
quit tho company from paying interest for a rea
sonable time, subject to the stipulation named—be
cause it needs no prophot’s vision to bo ablo to pro-,
diet tliuL if the company’s treasury Is oxh&usted
beforo the road is stooked with equipments, tho
State will bo asked to return or caneol the $0,500,-
000 of bonds in her possession
“To raise sl7s,ooo—tho annual Interest duo the
State—out of the sale of bonds, makos a debt
against the company in a sum greatly exceeding
that amount, and os this process, at the saino timo,
cute into iheoompany’sccfftrs and the company’s
OT&dlt, the practical effect is more hurtful to tho
ooropany than advantageous to the State.
“ In order, ihereforo, that Governor Packer may
stand on the record as a consistent, pirsistont, and
judicious friend of the great road upon which,
through aid rendered by the State, work was re
sumed in his term of offico with a view to its com
pletion to Lnko Brie, the financial aspect of the
matter mast oommand his attention and considera
tion to the end as In the beginning, and prompt
him to recommend such legislative aotlon as tho
aotual fiscal condition of the company’s treasury
will render most salutary and effectual in compass
ing, without halt or delay, an objeot of such com
mercial and finanoial magnltudo and Importance
as tiie rapid, straightforward oonetruoMon and

which, including the sale or the State oanals, is tho

Hon. Reverdy Johnson oontlnues to be the target
of assault on the part of the Administration or
gans. Notwithstanding the fact that he has at no
time boon considered An applicant or candidate
for office at the hands of the Administration, and
that he occupies a position so Independent as to be
enabled to take a calm and statesmanlike view of
overy great question as it arises, and that he has
no personal griofs to avenge, the experiment tried
upon overy upright and patriotio man who has
: dtlfered with the Administration, is, I peroolve,
being put in full force against him. They may
ohargo that Judge Douglas la a candidate for Pre
sident, and thAt othors who have co-operated with
him -in the contest for prinoipto are anima
ted by solfish motives, or by & desire to re
taliate for wrongs inflicted upon themselves:
But false as all snob accusations may be as
against them, there Is not a shadow ef suspicion
for tho slightest insinuation that Iteverdy Johnson
has been inspired by any but the noblest and tho
highest motlvos. Ho has not only been one of the
warmost friends of Sonthorn Institutions, but was
the first volunteer counsel in the celebrated ease of
Dred Scott, on the pari of the South, before the
Supreme Court of the United States ; and there
fjre may be supposed to understand what that
great tribunal meant when it pronounced its deci
sion and its dietum la thatcaso. Such a man oan
net be the enemy of Southorn institutions. He
has eome forward, then, to hold up and strengthen
tho hands of Stephen A. Douglas In good faith,
pot to assist the Northern adversaries of the Sooth.
AU his interests aro with the South, and nil hi®
prejudices and his affections.
In order to show how Rovcrdy Johnson stood
with the extromo Southern men only yesterday, I
beg to call your attention to tho great debate which
took place on the 3d ot March, 1858, in the Sonate
of tho United States, in whioh the actioi\ of the
Supromo Court on tho Dred Soott decision was dia
cussod alike with animation and with aorimony. Mr.
Soward appoarod as tho assailant of tho court. Ho
entered the lists, armed eap-a-pie, and arraigned
tho venerablo Justice of that sage tribunal for
mally beforo tho Sonate and tho eountry. He
charged the President with a deliberate attempt to
pervert tho judgment of the oourt in tho Dred Scott
oase into a solemn declaration against freedom in
tho Territories, and he laid particular stross upon
that theory whioh Reverdy Johnson in his late un
answerable argument so irresistibly controvortod,
that slavery existed, by virtue of the Constitution
of tho United States, in theso Territories. Mr.
Seward, with his soloran air, his choice and woll*
ehoson phrasos, and his long yoars ef experience in
public life surrounding him like a rampart, and
with his hosts of influential supporters in evory
froo State of tho Union at his book, felt, os bo
ohallongod a combatant in this great tourna
ment, that he was strong in what be doubtless
couoeived to bo right, and, therefore, that he had
full privilege to speak “ with voice potential, and
double as thoduke’s.” Immediately after he took
his scat Hon. P..Benjamin, thon, and now>
a Benator In Congress from the Southern State of
Louisiana, rose to reply. If Mr. Seward’s friends
olaltn that ho is the Bichard of the Lion Heart of
bis organisation, so may the friends of Mr. Benja
min claim that bo is the Salodin of his. There is
something In tho manuor of the oHro-eomplexioncd
Senator from the sugar-growing State that rocalls
tho Saraoenio warrior. Ho speaks in soft and
silken phrases; he wields a blade so bright and keen
that it first fasoinates the eye, and then foroes and
conquers the conviction. A groat lawyer, an ac
complished tactician, a well.bred gentleman, tho
idol of our Washington sooioty, he is, at the same
time, tho most uncompromising friend of tho
South, and—if he will ponnlt mo to say it—the most
unforgiving opponent of all who aro not llko him—
friendly to human slavery. But he possesses, llko
the character drawn by Sir Walter Soott in his
•‘Talisman,” Jko virtue of sometimes doing jue
tloo to an enemy. After defending tho old ohief,
Roger B. Taney, against the attack of Mr. Seward,
on tho occasion referred to, it was not surprising
that he should assail tho latter for having ar
raigned the former because of his decision in tho
Dred Scott case; and wben, having spoken in
terms of exaltod praise of tho vonerable man who
sits botwoe* tho judgos of that groat court—making
the first, although tho middle, man of the nine—
he turned about for ono who hod tho most infiu
enoo with that court, for ono who desorved to
I sUnd before it as tho attested and anointed apos
tle standi boforo tho august priesthood, and ploads
for the faith whioh they and ho believe, his eyo
fell upon Rovordy Johnson,-'of Maryland—and as
Nathan said unto David, ho no doubt said to him
self, “Thou art tho man!” Thus spoke the trade
of extreme Pouthorn sentiment;
“ I happen to know, however, whatever may be the
fact with the other, that one of the opposing counsel
was not paid by any slaveholders at all; that one of the
opposing counsel volunteered as amieut curia, by vir-
tut !•/ his position as head of the bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States ; by virtue of hie position at
ex-Attorney General of the United Statet;by virtue of
hie position as a compeer of the honorable Senator, and
hisformer eolltaeue onthisfloor/rom the State of Mary

voted from his birth had an interest in this great ques
tion to be decided, and which, at the time of his volun
teering in the east, he did not vetbnow to be represented

A Ch aritable Association.—As the season
of miecry to the poor is opening upon ns, we can
hardly do a more charitable Uifn? than print the
following statement of the Union Benevolent Asso
ciation, which has been laid on our table. The ob
jectsof this association are the relief of suffering,
tho ervoourageroent of labor, and the suppression of
vice among the poor:
At the annual meeting of tho society, held
Tuesday afternoon, October 18th. the following
named gentlemen were elected officers and mana
gers for the ensuing year, to wit President,
batmiel H. Perkins; Vico Presidents, Richard D.
Wood, J. Fisher Learning; Treasurer. Edmund
Wilcox, 404 Chestnut street; Corresponding Secre
tary, L. Montgomery Bond; Recording Secretary,
John 11. Atwood; Managers, Benj. Coates, Mat
thias W. Baldwin, M. Collins, Thos. Latimer,
John Bohlen. Wm. Pnrves, Arthur G. Coffin. Benj.
Orno, John W. Clnehora. Thos. Wattson. John D.
Taylor, R. Morris Wain. Jus. H. Dulles, John Aih
burst, Thos. A. Badd, Zehulon Locke, John Saan
ders, Cbnrlos Rhoades, Wm. Sharpless, Richard

born West. M. D.
At a subsequent meeting of the board of mana
gers. John Hicks was appointed agent, and Samuel
C. Cooper, W. I Simon, collectors, who are alone
authorized to receive subscriptions.
The season is rapidly approaching when the
claims of suffering and destitution wilt again ap
peal to the good. We cannot doubt that the usual
amount of poverty will be found among us, since
the poor” we are to “ have always with ua,” and
since all branches of industrial pursuits have been
backward tho past season. The society is prepared,
with two hundred female and two male visiters—
ramifying the entire city—to visit all its poor;
and respectfully asks a genorou<* public to lend to
its efforts a liberal support. Money, fuel, provi
slons, new or second-hand clothing, blankets or
bedding, will be thankfully received for distnbu
tion.
Editors of the leading newspapers will kindly
acknowledge the receipt of any funds for the asso

Tho programme abounds with many gems of aafred
music, choice ballads, choruses, do., which will
bo rendered in if style worthy of the reputation of
the participants. The proceeds are to be devoted
to a religious purpose, and as the tickets have
been put at the low price of twenty-five cents, the
place will undoubtedly be thronged. We there*
ftjre fidvtse our readers Jo procure their tickets
during the day at the hall, in order to avoid the
crowd daring the evening. The entertainment
will be ono that is seldom afforded in this city
at tho prlco mentioned; and, considering the
object In view, It is certainly deserving of suc
cess.
Robbery op a Stobe.-—Yesterday morning,
about one o’clock, Officers Allen and Zane. of the
Sixth ward, overhauled a Gorman at Second and
Rjioo streets, who was carrying along a lot of furs
in his arms. Upon searching the man a number of
valuable skins were found, stowed away iu bis
pockets and about his person. The prisoner gave
the name of Morris Rosenbock. As he could give

had been entered by rnoansof false keys and robbed

The Bank of tho Northern Liberties to-day de
c'.nrcd a Min'-amjUft'i dividend of five per cent.,
pay ible oa and after tho 11th inst.
T.io new element of traffio on the Western roads
—Cotton— is inoreaainj in importance. On the 2d
Inst. 100 ears wen loaded at Cairo by ihoHHaeis
Central road, with 3,000
York. This new source of revenue to thijecenpany""
is derived from the roads with which it la now con
nected, running through Kentucky, Term once,
Mississippi, do. It iq believed that nearly ail tho
manufacturing establishments of New England
con be supplied with cotton by this route cheaper
and much more expeditiously than, as heretofore,
by sea. 1
Thompton’s Bank Note Reporter has the fol -
lowing bank items :
“Th* City Bank, Racine, Wisconsin, baa sus
pended, but its circulating notes are redeemed-
The Boston Bee advises the bolder* of Bass River
s*™?°*** 001 to sacrifice them- The owners of
the Clinton Bank, Maryland, are promising to re
no faith in their anility to a® ao.
, ” ® net a particle of confidence that the
broken Canada Bank notes are worth ten cents on
the dollar. There is no law in Canada for se
curing the assets, or for winding up broken hank*,
and. with the exception of the Provincial Bank,
there is no security deposited for the circulating
notes. Some of the charters require that a por
tion of tie capital be invert*} i n debentures,
(batted, bonds,) bat these can betuedbv the banks,
as, we believe, waadone bj thelcternationalßank,
just before it failed.”

CITY ITEMS.
Tub ” CrJS-BCRXISO COOOSG-STOTB” 15H ITS
RionircL Invextos.—ln disentsinr the merits of tbe
rariousnew improvements from timetotiave Riven to
the public, we have heretofore had occasion to apeak
in commendatory terms of the celebrated Gas-eonsam*
inyCookiuß-ctoTe and Rause, invented by Sir. James
Ppcar, of this city, doing business at 1116 Market
street. He not only forested this popular stove—the
most complete ia all respects ever siren to the public
—but since its first introduction he has been untiring
in adding such improvements, from time to time, as
were best calculated still more to enhance itsvahie.
The success attending the sale of this stove has been
extraordicary; and it is not surprising, therefore.
efforts should be made by other parties to claim for it a
** priority of invention,” which, we understand, baa
been done, but on grounds so untenable that the orig
inal patentee is not likety to be affected by it, except it
be to fonder still more notorious the admirable stove
of which, beyond doubt, he it the rightful owner and
inventor.
It will bo remembered, by those who have read our
deseript-on of the scientific peculiarities of Mr. SpeaFfr
store, that its chief excellence, as a ** gas bnntfT.’ K
consisted in the ptrftrraud ehc.mbtr on the underside of
the cross centre-piece. Passing the warehouse of Mr.
Spear, a few days ego, we entered for a few moments,
■ our attention having been arrested by the busy scene
presented within, and were shown, by its enterpiising
proprietor, the written decision of Judea Donlop, riven
on the 29th day of last August, in which the claims of
Mr. Spear for priority of invention are legally estab-
Wished beyond a cavil. We deem it but proper to af*
ford the public this information, as it is a matter in
which the patrons ofMr. hpear. who are cow numbered
by thousands in tins community, are all more or less in
terested. Xhe efforts, therefore, which have been made
to b: is the public m this matter, are hence more luely
to redound to the benefit of Mr. Spear than to his dis
advantage. For our own part, we have, of course, no
other interest in the matter than that rigAt should tn
ura;b. Mr. Spear, b> this invention,andahostofoth
ers, for which be well deserves tSb thanks of the
put lie, and is receiving it tn a substantial Way, has won
for himself an enviable position among the most m
cemous inventors of the day ; and it is therefore not to
be wondered at that his laurels sroold be assaled by
the misguided ambition of other*. Mr. Spear’a tnomph.
by the legal document above referred to is, however,'
clearly established. In the meantime, the immense de
mand for hit stoves continues unabated, and we predict
will while he continues to furnish the beet article inths,
line now or ever heretofore offered m America.

fied to make the subject he has chosen one ot li> cly in

The Autumn leaf is falling—
Falling from the stately tree.
From the sturdy oak and walnut,
From the elm that stud* the lea, *
They are failing, all are falling—
Sport of every wind that blows,
