MONDAY, JUNE C, 1804.
Seventy-two years cannot -be considered
a very advanced ago fora Sovereign Prince
wlio, moreover, lias always led a virtuous
and temperate life. Yet Pope Purs Uic
Ninth is spoken of, at that ago, as likely to
live and reign only a few weeks longer.
He was fifty-four when elected to the tiara,
but in the eighteen years since then he has
not had a quiet or prosperous reign. The
Revolution of 1848, which substituted the
republican for the pontifical rule iu Rome,
and drove him into exile, was the first
heavy blow sustained by the Pope.; On his
return, and ever since, it must have -galled
him'do find himself maintained in the Eter
nal City by military aid from Prance.
Next came the differences with Yictor Em
manuel, which have almost severed the lie
of obedience by whicli. his subjects spirit
ually were connected with the Papacy.
The Italian'warfare in 1850 and 1860, which
gave Lombardy to the King of Sardinia,
liberated the Grand Duchies of Tuscany
and Modena, transferred part of the estates
of the Church, as well as Naples and Sici
ly, to the newly-formed Kingdom of Italy,
and placed Yictor Emmanuel on the
throne, have deeply affected the Pope's
health, no doubt, and the more so because
they were what he could neither.prevent nor
punish.
The fact of his declining strength being
accepted, certain foreign journals, (whose
statements have been adopted and echoed
by many of our own newspapers), already
speculate upon the succession to the. Papacy,
going to the length of saying . that while
the Holy Ppntiff is yet living, and with his
cognizance and consent, a sort of informal
or private election of Pope either had. taken
place or would immediately be. hold, and
that it was not improbable that the con
tinued'support of Napoleon 111. would be!
secured to the Papacy by the election of
his cousin, the recently appointed Cardinal
Bonaparte, the youngest, by far, of the
whole Sacred Chamber.
■Whoever thinks that Pres IX. would
sanction'any act .so irregular as the pri
vate election of a successor in the Pope’s
own lifetime, knows little of the character
of the man, or of the customs and laws of
the Church of Rome. When an hereditary
monarch dies, proclamation may be made,
as formerly in France, “Le Roi est niort,
yive le Roi,” (the King is dead; long live
the King,) but where, the elected head. of
tlie Catholic Church passes away, forms'
are to he gone through ami necessary de
lays incurred which virtually create an in
terregnum. Pros VII. died on the 20th
August, 1823, and Leo, KII. was not elected
his successor until September 28. Leo died
February 10,; 1829, and Pius VIII. ; was
not elected until Marcli 31. Pros died No
vember 30, 1830, and Gregory XVI. was
elected on February 2, 1801. Gregory
died on June 1,1846, and Pros IX, was
elected on June 16. : Thus there may be a
lapse of months between the death of a
Pope and the election of his successor, but
the average delay is over a month. The
'Cardinals who assemble in -the Quirinal
palace to elect a Head come from all parts.
The door opens to admit each, but once
entered, no Cardinal can depart until the
election- has been made. All intercourse
with the World without is rigidly prevented
during this interval. The food-with which
the Cardinals are served, each from Ms
own dwelling, is so carefully examined, for
fear any written or other communication
should in it, that it literally is
11 broken victuals” ere it reaches his table.
The- Cardinals locked up .to : elect a Pope
.alone-are'called..“the"--.Conclave.;” on all
other occasions, when assembled by the
Pope, they;compose “ a Consistory;”. We
meed not here describe the form of election,:
but, under its rules, it would be. almost im
possible for a Cardinal, set by. agreement
of a private caucus, to be elected Pope.
Especially: difficult, if the Cardinal were.
one to whom Spain, France, or Austria ap
plied the veto. Suppose that Pope Pros
were to die. All the Cardinals in Rome
would assemble in the Quirinal palace, (un
til September, 1823, the • Vatican was the
place,) and, while the Conclave lasted—
literally, until a new Pope be elected—the
administrative : power would rest in the
hands of the Cardinal Chamberlain, who
now is Cardinal Altieri, During the’sit
ting of the : Conclave, he strikes his own
coins, and is assisted by three Cardinals,
called the “ Heads of Orders,!’ because they
represent the three : orders' in the; Sacred
College, of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons.:
The great Catholic Powers would issue fresh
. credentials to the ambassadors, who would
proceed to the Quirinal in state, to deliver;
them to tlie Cardinal Chamberlain and his
.assistant trio. . Each ;envoy would make a ;
' short address and receive a suitable reply;.
but the four Cardinals thus visited and ad
dressed could only be: spoken to, and for
this special purpose, at what is called the
grille. There is some delay in the receipt
of credentials.; Thus, on the death of Leo
XII., in 1829, the Cardinals entered .the
Conclave; oh the 23d February, and it was
hot until March 3d.that Cardinal Albani T:
accredited envoy by the Emperor of Aus
tria, 'entered the sacred precincts. He had
:charge of the Emperor’s v'to, and-.used it
against Cardinal Severolx, who had been
nearly ' elected. Pope Pros VIII. died on
the last day ofNovember, 1830; after a short
pontificate of twenty months, and the Con
clave commenced in the middle of Decem
ber. Cardinal Wiseman says, in'his inte-;
resting Recollections of the Four Last
Popes: “At one iinte the Conclave seemed
likely to close by the: electioiijOf Cardinal
Giustiniani, when the Court of Spain inter
posed and prevented his election. Allusion
has booh made to the existence of this pri
vilege, vested . more by usage than by any
formal act of recognition, at least in three
great Catholic Powers. Should two-thirds
of the votes centre on any person, he is at
once Pope, beyond the roach of any pro
hibitory declaration. It is, therefore, when
the votes seem to be converging towards one
obnoxious, no matter why, to one of these
Sovereigns,, that Ms ambassador to the
Conc]aYe,:Mmself a Cardinal, by a circular
admonishes Ms Colleagues of this feeling
in the Court which he .represents. This
suffices to make them turn in another di
rection. 1 ’ : Thus, on January 7,. 1831, the
same authority says: “Cardinal Giusti-;
•kiaki received twenty-one votes, the num
ber sufficient for election being twenty-,
nine, when Cardinal .Marco, Spanish en
voy,- .: delicately intimated, first to Gros-„
TixiANi’s nephew, Odescalciii, then to
the Dean PACCA,.that Spain objected: to
that nomination;” - The result -was that
Cardinal Cappellari was elected, and
reigned until 18-16 as Gregory XVI.
There are strong- grounds; therefore, for
disbelieving that Pope ,Pros, and especially
in extremis, would sanction tlie nomination
of his successor by a private caucus, so as
to leave the Conclave only the mockery of
elective power, and, supposing lie did this,
and Cardinal -Bonafarte were voted for,
is it likely that Austria or France would
bold back tlie veto which would put ono of
the reigning dynasty of France into the
chair of St. Peter ?

THE BI«HT OF riTTSnpRO,
If is a charming journey horo, barring heat and
dusf,* which, upon the Cleveland and- Pittsburg
road, first fry and then pepper ti\o traveller; barring
the exasperating sight of Pittsburg, which, on a
hot day, is in the murkiest fHfcrtyrdoni, the gloomi
est phrensy, Philadelphia must bo a hoavon to
Pittsburgors; what must Pittsburg be to Phila
delphians? Pennsylvania seems to begin with
Paradise and end with AvcrnuS, and If Philadelphia
is the finest city in the land, Pittsburg is not the
finest, by whatever degroo your amount of visual
afillction may teinpt you to reckon. Soldiers near
Pittsburg look as if they had come out of a battle,
yet they have only passed through the town. On'<
a hot day a man who laughs outright is hldeous.
There is a torrid insanity in the air, mixed with
murk and soot. The hard-fisted smiths, who have .
been working like devils all day, poko out their r
faces like demons, and after swallowing fire,
blow out cinders. A mild simoon breath
passes over the dry, yellow, and ashy hills, blows
in the complex, and immitigable plague of
all sorts oi infernal dry dust—sand, marl, olayu
coal, coke, charcoal, cinders, and infinito soot—and
the traveller wails in his heart and gnashes his/
teeth. It is a city to be seen only at cost of one's eyes,.
and, therefore, has. beon rarely described. Super--
ficially, It is, without doubt, a place torriblo to the f
sense. It is dirty, but not diseased. Fat men grow
fatter, upon the carbon, and there, or thereabout, 1
saw one of the healthiest editors it lvas ever, been
my envy to gaze upon. But oven after gotting fat
and rich, his darkdoomsitsupon the moody burgher
like an incubus. If Pittsburg was over a Danae to
the sky abovo it,-its Jupiter must have beon .a col
lier, and his Danae a colored woman—his raining
largesse a shower of soot.
People who go there to' stay must roll up their
sleeves and go to work. ' In a short time tliey be
come black, and are made slaves. Some are afreets
and some are genii, who workwith immense energy,
digging monuments out of the fire, and heaping up
wealth from tho dirt. Pittsburgers can stand abuse,
for they are all getting rich; but who would envy
them? Not the two rivers could wash the town;
and, supposing that the rivers themselves do not re
quire washing, it must be tho Pittsburgers’ bliss to ’
finish or wash off his dismal eftreor by drowning..
“Have you ever been to Pittsburg?" asked the
conductor. “ It’s an awful hole!" Pittsburgers die
of spontaneous combustion. Perdition must be a
sort of bottomless Pittsburg, and Milton, himself,
must describe the vision of the Satanic Pittsburgor •.
4 * At once, as far as angels ken, he views
The dismal situation waste and wild;
A dungeon horrible on all sides round
As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames
No light, but rather darkness visible
Served only to discover sights of wo,
. Regions of sorrow; doleful shades, where peace
. And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
That comes to all; but torture without end
Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed
With ever*burniug sulphur unconsuiaed. ,1
. . THE ALLEOHKSTIES. . V"
Perhaps it is the recollection of the pure sub-,
limity of those mountainous woods of the Alle
ghenies, with their centuries of growth, green and
flourishing and stupendous, piled up tier alter tier
in heavy height and bosky magnificence, that makos ?
Pittsburg (which; nevertheless, for passion and sen-1
.cation, is the true climax of the Pennsylvania jour
ney ), the. doleful plaoo itis. “ Action narrows and
thought expands,” and in the mountains this broad
maxim of Goethe’s is monumentalized. Let the citi
zen become a’mountaineer for awhile, and feel the
exuberant, green change, as it were, that makes a
. man of him. How beautifully the bright little river
Conemaugh wanders among its guardian neighbors,
'the great hills! Here, as it bends its swiit journey:
round mountain gorge and river, your: locomotive
truly becomes the “ resonant stoam-eagle” which
Mrs. Browning called it. Lubberly and 'mottled
kino graze in the glens, and from , the mountain
tops the heavy hawks sail solemnly out overhead.'
THK OHIO.
Prom Pittsburg to Cleveland is about one hun
dred and fifty miles of interesting landscape, washed
by a bread, ebbing river, with : yellow banks, and
beset with hill and precipice. But for the dust
which blows in and torments the eye, this panorama
would be a complete luxury.: The Ohio, which is a
wonderfully navigablcriver, is not hereabout, at
least, as fine, broken, and fresh-pictured as our Sus
quehanna, • But a wildness and beauty haunts the
river, recalling . Paulding’s forgotten lines in the
“ Backwoodsman,” and tho days of ‘ tbie'lndian and
the canoe:
‘ As down the Ohio’s ever-ebbing tide
: Oarlces and saillees silently they glide*
How still the scene, tae prospects, aud how fair
Was the lone land that,met the wanderers there- 11
' CLEVELAND,
. As you near Cleveland, a vast fine -breeze blows
over the country from Lake Erie; the towns, are
handsome and greener, and-pnssing some few ,tatr:
raced; vineyards which promise a wealth of grapes,;;
.German Ecouoniifces, stra w-fiattM hied' and women
at work in the fields, the region of tho lake is very
diversified and sylvan. The country people who get
in the cars are quite.Yankceish,: with the usual
" Western qualification, Cleveland is one .of tho
finest of cities, fortunate in having .height, vailoy,
river, plain j and the great expanse ofthe lake, beau
tiful in its horizons of sunrise and sunset. The
wide avenues of the city, lined with trees, and ex
cellent houses and stores, regularly approach the
largo and handsome square in the centre, where
stands the statue of Commodore Perry, the hero of;
the lake~a liot cktraordlmiry but still useful' and'
attractive piece of art. The. neighborhood of this
square is delightful for its trees and houses, where
as the dusty roads blind us to. the beauty of the
avenues. Euclid avehne, which we saw at sunny
meridian after the rain, stretched out some three
miles, lined with the richest and most unique coun
try seats, fronting evenly toward the road, bowered
in groves, deliciously gardened, and monopolizing
acres by the score. Nothing can bo more lovely to
us thhn our own Germantown, whoso wooded ave
nues have a quainter, older, more rural and more
characteristic beauty than this geometrical Euclid,
but for regularity, extent, and luxury, Euclid ave
nue is the finest, no doubt, In the country. Except
ingitsdusfc (and why don’t they cobble theirstreetsl)
‘ Cleveland is eminently enjoyable. For the eye or
the camera, and especially where the Cuyahoga
winds with the barges and shipping which it takes
in from the lake, none .of our cities could make so
artistic a picture. ~
THE LATE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.

self of a very easy task, and Fremont and Oochrano
were, perhaps, too readily nominated. : Critically
considered, the affair seemed more local than na- ;
tional in its extent and character. Its best elements
were undoubtedly the German purists of the West,
led by Caspar Blitz, and the New England. Puri
tans, with Stephen S. Foster and Parker Pillsbury.
The German radicals appeared rejoiced at the re
sult, and whatever happens, are well pleased at
having dene something for their idol, Fremont.
The New England men, with their few kindred spi
rits from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, accept
the case with grave cheer fulness, as part of their :
moral duty and destiny, and are content to take the 1
lino with Wendell Phillips and Gen. Fremont
against Abraham Lincoln and Wm. Lloyd Garri
•son. Fremont’s name was greeted with such unani
mous uproar as one hundred and fifty or two hun
dred self-representing, representatives could- make.
Over Cochrane there was less enthusiasm..; Gen.
Cochrane made a speech of amazement most apolo
getically tragic, but did not declino , the nomi
nation. The opening speech of the General, who
almost presided over his - OWn nomination, was a
rare piece ;of word-murder and. dramaticido. : He
spoke of the “mellowed, vista- of tho past,” the
“combustion of war,” “tho fatherland on the other
side of the raging sea,” “the callow brood who
claim to lead the war-worn Democracy.” AFhileho
denounced the Administration, ho would take “no
positional .attitude unworthy of tho breast of an
American;” talked of “the circumambient air
which surrounds,” &c., and called “high heaven,
to witness,”*in true cavalier style of metropolitan :
. oratory, which brings high heaven down for a stock
purpose.; All this fustian, it must have pained grave
men like the old Abolitionists, Foster, Plumb,
Pillsbury, and Gooden, to hear. One "of the leaders
of the Convention was a certain Colonel Sloss, of
Missouri:; lean, lank, unkempt, andin ox-military
clothes, with an expression half-buzzard, halfsearod
eagle, but withal a good-natured, determined fellow,
who was (he said) a “border-ruffian”; hadpickcdhis
way through the woods,and came “to put the thing
through.” Another.curiosity of the Convention rose
up straight as a stalk on the question of credentials.
Ho was a young /man, with pale,’ saw
cut features, and might have been a bnckwoocl’s
preacher. Ho had strong lungs, a voice that ex
ploded ludicrously just at the end of a sentence,
and ho had evidently gathered himself up to make
a sensation. “ Mr. Chairman,” he said, “ I have
come four hundred miles at my own expense—but I
do riot ask a’bit of favor—not a bit— not a bit!”
This climax was irresistibly funny, and the whbio
Convention laughed out. The speaker - paused
dumbfounded,"but at length.proceeded m a low voice
toward another explosion. “ Those are solemn
times,” he said, with an accentor deep grief, and
tho Convention roared. “ Mr. Chairman,” resumed
the orator with provoked eloquence, “ I believe :
there’s a God In heaven who holds this earth in Ida
hand as I’d hold an egg— there I” The last word
came out in thunder,'and brought on aperfoct storm .
oflaughtcr. The young backwoodsman was speak
ing from the.question, and the chairman called him
to order. ; “ Why am . I called to order 1” ho de
manded—“'don’t you believe there is a God 1” and
out came the same prodigious emphasis as before.
The orator was fairly laughed from the room,
and ho went out with an awe-strickoh counts-/
nance, waving his hands wildly at tho chairman.
Wc’eqnriotadmiro our dissenting friends, tho Phil
lips Abolitionists, for mixing in with thoadvonturor
Democracy (whilom theirgreatest hate), and making.
a- platform lbrtho New York' World.- But ail the
unpalatable portions of tho new radical Democratic
doctrine were choked down tho Convention. Judge
if General Cochrane’s nomination speech was not a
curious conglomerate of coyness, mock-modes-,
ty, and effrontery, had come to the Conven
tion (ho said) as an humble participantih the great ’
movement; it had been deemed wise to.choose him
president of the Convention, He was satisfied with
that honor, satisfied with the proceedings, for he
: saw in them the establishment of a groat party, and
■ henceforth he would bo content : to labor,.not for
: party successes, but for the salvation of tho country.
Yesterday, for the first.timo, ho had hoard his name
; mentioned in connection with the nomination for
Ylce 'President. Ho was .surprised.’ Ho doubted
the wisdom of a sftoiw* it vftis hi§ qlwr coa-
vlction that, with such a platform, if tho Conven
tion will take some gentibman who is fairly idonti*
ffed with tho war-worn Democracy of tbe cOuntry,
add place him sido by side wfth Its choscncom
pafilon, it will establish a great; and glorious’party,
whoso principles, founded upon truth, justice; and
freedom, must succeed, Hearttfly endorsing those
principles, lie begged leave to retire.
SomcroV tho most sensible and eamost men of the*
Convention looked upon it as a mistake in part, and*
wore opposed to anything more thairframlng a plat
form, and then waiting for events to write them
selves morclcgibly. Some talk of a larger Conven
tion, which shall take in the groat bodj? of tho War
democrats, and emancipate many of the Republi
cans. At least', tho-Radical Domocratlc platform at
Cleveland may compol a more radical platform at
Baltimore. The'termer is not astonishingly radical,
after all, and as many of its provisions arc-extroino
!y trashy and useless,"it will not bo difficult to con
struct a better.' 11 Slavery must be wiped out in its
last vestiges,” exclaimed Can. Ooehrano.. And why
not? Yours, Piiamus.

At this time there were at Bello Plain some 5,000

that two of them had the bloody flux, one the camp

went back to the headquarters of tho Christian
Commissions procured blankets, 1 ; medicines, and
nourishment, and came again to these miserable

gave them food. They*cried like children. Two of
them said they were Christians, and desired me to
pray with them, which I (lid.

there were about 11,000 wounded. I was immediate

THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER ON GEN. BRAGG-—GEN.
: JOE ’.JOHNSTON’S ADDRESS TO HIS ; ‘ARMY—A
VICTORY IN GEORGIA CLAIMED.
} FIERCE ATTACK ON GEN. BRAGG. :
The Bichmond Enquirer of May 27, in the course
of a long article on Gen. Bragg, pays its respects to
that officer as follows: *
Gen. Bragg’s merits, service, and history, are too
well known to require particular explanation at this
time. All that is gloomy in the past history of this
war is more or less the work of Ids hands or the re
sult of his intellect.. The immediate, present has
merits of its own which peculiarly illustrate tho
usefulness of General Bragg. .The escape of Sheri-,
dan’s cavalry, connived at, if not caused by his stra- :
tegy, will exhibit his qualifications for the position
he occupies.-The order for the evacuation of Peters
burg will explain his solicitude for tho principal line
of communication between this city and the source
of its supplies. If Grant has played liavoc with our
generals, Bragg has-been proportionately destruc
tive of those around Richmond, Barton fell from
a “ fire in the rear,” festooned with the. confidence
of his officers and men in his skill', valor, and judg
ment. Pickett, the hero of Gettysburg, that his
torical companion of McDonald and Ney, mortified
and humiliated by Bragg, has gone to Lqo, prefer
.ring the bullets of his foes to the treachery of his
friends. . ' ■
At the very moment that the enemy was mar
shalling his forces around Culpeper and at Fortress
Monroe, straining every nerve and collecting every
man for tho great campaign now in progress of exe
cution—while the fate of the capital of
the Confederacy, with all Its moral aiid physical
consequences that are involved in its fall, hung in
imminent peril, tho strategy of Bragg exhausted
itself : in a Tittle mean peddling campaign against
Newborn, and-even that failed from tho ■want of
military skill that he has evinced in evoryeampaign
which he has! undertaken. : It is not necessary now
to speak of that admirable state of (Terence iu which
Richmond and Petersburg wore when Butlorlanded
at Bermuda Hundred, we speak the sentiments of
all classos, in tho army and out of It, when wo say
that General Bragg is an incubus upon the useful
ness of the President. The public sentiwont of tho
country, the confidence of the army, are not with
General Bragg.
.THANKS TO GENERAL TAYLOR.
The Confederate Congress has passed a vote of
thanks to Major General. Richard Taylor, officers
and men, for their victories in Louisiana.

hostages and the Peruvian bark Quinque, and of
fered to give up all reprisals, if Peru would pay the
bona fide claims, leaving the others to a mixed com
mission. Peru refuges to do anything until all the
reprisals are given up. Admiral Peuzeen and the
Spanish minister print a communication denying
the rumors that Spain intends establishing an
European dynasty, and that Spain does not intend
to meddle with the form of government of Peru, and
that the occupation of the Chincha Islands, by way
of reprisal, wasq>rcferable to other acts of hostility,
and that no impediments will be placed in the way
of merchants at the islands. The Spanish squadron
will remain on the defensive. '

THE QUESTION OF PEACEFUL COMMERCIAL INTER*
COURSE—THE JAPANESE EMBASSY— I THB PRO*
GRESB OP LIBERAL IDEAS IN JAPAN.
Kaxaoawa, Japan, Wednesday, April 0, ISOi.
The strife for peaceful commercial intercourse
with this country seems, as far ;as we have any
means of judging, to bo for the presont at an end.
Though an embassy is, or soon will be, in Washing
ton, for the ostensible purpose oraskingour Govorn
ment to agree to the closing ..of the most flourishing
port of trade now opened, no one hero sees the first
indication for believing that the refusal which must
bo met with will in any way disturb tho present
peaceful state of things. .
In tho minds of most intelligent persons, both
Japanese and foreigners, tho mission was a iailuro
before it set out, unless it had in view some other
object than tho one; above mentioned. Trom.thV
amount of funds which tho Japanese Government'
have deposited in the banks here, it is quite evident
that something more than what is at present known
was contemplated in sending their second embassy,
to the West. ... " ■ • ;
Tho country itself seems to be undergoing a favor
able change, and it is stated, in m any quarters that
tho Opposition, which was tho 'majority at tho time
tho embassy was sent, has become the majority. A
■ second great council is boing hold at this, timo at,
Miaco, where , tho Tycoon and: most of tho princes
are assembled.
The nature and object of this Convention are only
conjectural, but as ioroign intercourse . Is the groat
subject which at -presont; seems to ongage the at-.
tontion of tho nation, it is: but natural to suppose
that it Is this which has brought all their dignita
ries together/The Emperor, or Tycoon, and also
tho Spiritual Emperor of Micado aro represented ,
to bo men of more ability, Independence 'of olutrao
tor v and liberality, than has been possessed by tholr
predecessors for a: number of reigns. But so shut
In are those two mouarehs by. forms'. and ceremo
nies ofrank, imppsed upon them by the lords, and
hereditary advisers of the thrones, that they aro
in most instances stripped of. any groat, amount of
power or influence, and aro actually ruled instead of
beingrulors. Supposing these two Emporors to be
liberal, but little can bo expected of them as Indi
viduals, should tholr advisors bo inclined to pull in
an opposite direction, unless thoy aro possessed of
an extraordinary amount of sagacity and ability.
, This: class aro gradually becoming more liberal,
, especially those, in the . Court of the Ta-coon,
.and: tho,/visits. of those to tho Court .of the
Mieaidifwill doubtless havo its inHuoneo In bring
. ngtliem around to embraco similar views. Tho
Government of Japan appears to bo a limited mon
archy, and tho seal rulers aro aristooraoy,.whoso
titles are .as old .as those of tho oooupants or tho
thrones. It is not difficult, therefore, to understand
why it has taken affairs so long a time to become
•settled, witlfso many elements of power, and two at
most Distinct imperial courts, all more or loss con
nected witk tlie'administration of affairs. Though,
we have sriren it as our opinion that thoro win po

Narrow Escape.—Curing a heavy thunder
storm, a few days ago, a boy named Sullivan, of Sul
livan county, took shelter under a hemlock tree:
The lightnipg struck the tree, and passing to the
ground tore the boy’s, boots off his feet, but he*
escaped injury.
Sharp Practice.—Two peddlers, in Centre
county, have been pushing their trade after a new
fashion, One of them traveled a day in advance of 1
the other and refused to receive Lock Haven Bank:
notes as worthless, and the people gladly traded:
with the other, who said he would take the notes,--as*
he was in debt to the bank.
Canal Business.—The Harrisburg Telegraph
says: “An Immense quantity of eoal, lumber, and
other freight, is being carried on the canal. Hun
dreds of ooats pass here daily. Hock-tenders are
kept busy day and night.”
lim'CIAI AJTB COMMERCIAL.
An Important change in the policy of the Govern
ment was announced on Saturday—to wit, to allow
0 per cent, interest on temporary loans. ’This ad
vance will undoubtedly have the effect, to draw Into
the treasury a large amountof the people’s money,
to the great reliefer the Department. Thereis little
doubt that with the overthrow of the rebellion at an
early day, the. subscriptions.to the public loan will
be greatly accelerated, and the pressing necessities
or the Government in this way be provided for.
Mr. Chase wrote to the treasurer at New "fork a
letter on Friday In which occurs this paragraph:
11 You may contradict, most emphatically, ail as
sertions that the Secretary is increasing any legal
tender issues. On the contrary, he is gradually re
ducing them. All new notes issued are in lieu of old
notes in larger amounts withdrawn.”
This explicit statement of the Secretary of the
Treasury will be received with .unmingled satisfac
tion all over the land. Ah authoritative assurance
like this has as great a tendency, to keep: down the
premium on gold as victories in the field. The
greenback and national bank currency now reach, an
amount far in excess of the legimate demands of bu
siness, and-until it is curtailed w e cannot hope for
any permanent.depression of the gold premium.
There was no second board or call on Saturday, and
there was very little doing to establish any material
change in quotations. The 5-20 Government loan,
which opened at 106,' sold afterwards down to 105%.
Other-loans were" not in demand. State fives were
steady at 99, and the coupon fives at 102.. City sixes
were unchanged. Pennsylvania Railroad second
raortgaghbonds sold at 112; Camden and Amboy
sixes at 106%, and the sixes of ISB3 at 106%. A lot.

nies} Clinton was held at IK; Butler at 24%; Ful
ton at 9;. New- York and Middle at 19%; Green.
Mountain sold at 6, buyer 30; Big Mountain and
North Carbondale were unchanged. There was
nothing doing in Passenger . Railroads, and very lit
tle in Bank stocks. Sales of Girard Bank at 47%,
and Com Exchange at 36%. Oil stocks were quiet.

The National Bank bill, as amended and passed
both Bomses, contains some important changes, : It
provides that no banks can bo organized with a less
capital than $lOO,OOO in small towns, and $200,000 in
cities with a population of oyer 600,000. Banks mnstre.
deem at parat National Banks in certain designated
cities regarded as commercial centres. None but
registered bonds can be received as security for cir
culation, and. the. necessary memorandum on those
can be signed.by an oißcer of the bank, or by the
Comptroller. The Senate receded from its amend
ment limit ing the amount to three hundred millions
of dollars, to apply either .to the notcs'of circulation,
or to the amount of capital stock.' The former braneh.
of the proposition only is retained, but tho city of
Washington is included in the places of rodomptlon-
I lie circulation of tiie banks, in lieu of all existing
taxes, is taxed one half, per cent., and deposits one
quarter of one per cent., semi-yoariy, and a similar
tax upon the ' capital in-excess of United States
bonds. It is provided that nothing in the act is to
bo construed to prevent all the shares, In any Of tho
associations, held by; any person or body corpo
rate, from being included in the valuation: of their
personal property In the assessment of taxes Im
posed by or under Stats authority at tho place
where'the bank Is located, and not olsowhoro, but
•not at a greater rate than Is assessed upon other
moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens
of such State, provided that the tax imposed under
the laws of any State upon tho shares of any of the .
associations authorized by the act shall not exceed:
tho rate imposed upon the shares in any of the
banks organized under'the authority of the State
whore such association is located.
