The tale spread, until a committee From his church demanded a sight of the "chamber maid" and proposed to censute Lim far l.is immoral. 'The implements used loy a Grecian or Roman scribe were ns follows: "A reed cut like our pen% inks of different colors, but chiefly black; a sponge to cleanse the reed, and to rub out such lettets as wete written by mistake; knife for roendingtbe reed; pumice for a similar purpose. or to smooth the parchment; compasses for measuring the distance of the lines; scissors fot cutting the parchment: tit puncher to point out the beginning and end of each line; a rule to draw lines and dividetbe sheets into columns; a glass contain ing sand, and another filled with water, probably to mix with the ink." Something New in Nillinery.—The New 'fork pa pers speak of a new article fur ladies' bonnets. It is brnid composed of v e ry fine silk; so fine that an extra ordinary number of threads are combined in each braid, narrow as it is. The advantages of the fabric are, superior beauty. great durability, and capacity for being cleaned and dyed, almost without limit, in fact the prcness of cleaning makes the bonnet more lus trous and beautiful than it wie originally. w here's Leg horn bonnets can never be perfectly restored to Their first condition of elegance. The coat is about the same, and in point of lightness the Leghorn has no eppleciub;e advantage. Igo THOS. PHILLIPS lb AYH. H. SKIM ilarroall. PITTSBURGH, MONDAY JUNE 2, 184 THa RRPORT . .--- The more this celebrated paper is considered, the more absurd and unjust it eppeers.— The Committee commences a developement of the result of its deliberations by giving the following classi fication of the sufferers: Ist. The first class, comprising amounts not exceeding one hundred dollars, contains 344 names, aggregate amount of loss, $19,620 2d. The second class, embracing amounts from $lOO to $5OO. 344 applicants, a mounting to $91,736 311. The third class whose loss exceeds $5OO, and varies from that sum to $30,000, 313 applicants, amounting to $682,831 Making in all 1011 applicants, amounting (exclusive of Insurance) to $794,187 Of the last class there art: 239 claims from $5OO to $25 000 69 •' 2500 to 10.000 above 10,000 Those who ccmpose the first and second class, are supposed to be poor; men who make their living by their daily labor, or persons engaged in small busi. ness, and it is proposed to give the first 50 per cent. and the second. 23 per cent. on their losses. But the third class who put in claims from $5OO to $lO,- 000, are, in the estimation of the Committee, a dif ferent grnde in society, and it is supposed that they will "decline receiving assistance in the form of dona tions, hut are desirous of obtaining a loan from the relief fund, of varioas sums from $3OOO to $4OOO each," and the Committee recommend "that if any applicants, Influenced by laudable feelings of honest pride and independency, should' prefer to consider the assistanne extended to them as a loan, rather than as n gift, the committee should be authorized to meet their views by taking their notes for such amount, payable in 5, 6 and 7 years, with 3 per ct." Now, it was well understood in the Councils, that the taking of note* from these gentlemen with "feel ings of honest pride," would be a mere idle form, as it is not expected or desired that one cent of the loans should ever be collected. The only object for prac ticing this piece of deceit, ii to make a difference in the manner in which the large and small recipients of the find will receive their several portion 4 of it.— The man who has lost $lO,OOO but who may brave $30,000 or $40,000 left, will receive his $lOOO divi dend as a loan, with the understanding that he will never be required to pay it back, while the poor man. or sufferer, who was worth only from one to five hun dred dollars, will receive his portion as a charily. We would like to know nn what principle of justice the Committee have made this very offensive distinc tion between th, sufferers, or, by what right they as sume the. the poor men, or those who did not lose over $5OO, cannot entertain "feelings of honest pride" as well as their more wealthy neighbors? Is it because they lust their all by the terrible calamity, and have no worldly possessions to beprouci of, or because many of the large claimants have still ample fortunes left, and could not konestly receive, as a donation, the funds that were contributed for the relief of the destitute svffe re rs. This very improper distinction is condemned by al. most every man in the community, and has called forth a feeling of indignation that we have s eldom seen equaled. Banking under the New Law.—The Wink Com- I missioners have been in session since yesterday, in this city. Two members are absent, but 05 a quorum is present them will be no delay is the trans •crion of business. Application has been filed for one branch of the State bank at Dayton, and two more. it is ex pected, is ill he made from this city, before the close of the present session of the board, There ate two ap plications under the independent system from Cleve hind, and one at Geauga. These, together with those approved nt the former session give seven under what is generally known as the flee banking system There are five branches of the State Bank organized. Seven are necessary to the organization of a State Bank. There is now no doubt that both systems will he in operation in a short time. In a short time we shun have a currency thnt will effectunny banish Red- Dog and all such tri,sh.—Ohio State Jaur. We have no doubt but you will, and in another "short time," you will have a currency that will be as worth less as the most heartless of those who are engaged in fastening this grand scheme of rag money speculation on the people of Ohio, could desire. For years past the currency of that state has been under ban. The great number of unnecessary Banks, and the loose manner in which they were maragod, created well founded doubts of their ultimate ability to make an honest settlement with ull having claims against them. Farmers do not require bank facilities to plant their corn or gather the rich products of their lands, and it was not to be exrerted that the in stitutions located in agricultural districts, could yield sufficient profits from their fair business transactions to satisfy the cupidity of their managers. It was neces sary to resort to extraordinary means to make the in stitutions profitable, and these means always resulted in the depreciation of its paper, and generally in the sudden dissolution of the concern, by which those who confided in it were robbed of the fruits of their honest industry. Too many Banks has been the greatest evil that Ohio has had to endure for many years past. and the loss that the pen.ile have sustained by their depreciated pa per has cost them more than all they have paid in tax es to itippOrt the government. But latterly there was a prospect that this evil would be eradicated, or, at least, greatly mitigated. The wurthles3 and unnecessary institutions were gradually going out of existence by the expiration of their charters, or, like the Galli polls concern, falling to pieces from their own rottenness, and • confidence in the solvent institutions was gaining ground, which in a short time would give the currency of the State a last ing credit. But this state of things was not permitted to contin us. It appeared too favorable to the interests Lf the 1 people; but a small porition of the profits of the in dustrious, was passing into the pockets of stockjobber! and the growing prosperity of the State seemed to be 1 more indebted to honest labour, than to the the skill of rag money financiers. The interests of certain clef.; see, and the whig party, required that a change should be made by which the Banks could again assume tho I ascendency, and accordingly the last whig Legislature, p eased the banking law above referred to; which pet mita the establishment of an instituti.m wherein an opportunity for profitable plunder may offer. There is not the slightest probability that these banks will be of the slightest advantage to the people of the state, in their legitimate callings. They have too many now for useful purposes, and all new ones must filch from the people all that is necessary to sup port them and to enrich those who speculate through them. If this Bunking Law is carried out to the ex tent its project Ors contemplate, we may well expect that in a few years another Bank panic will convulse the country, which will not be lees disastrous to the welfare lithe people than the erer memorable eaplo• sloe of the Petrasylvania Moniatrs. rir A " Wounded Pigeon," wit,' exixised his in- jury in tbe columns of the American of Saturday, is very indignant at our remarks on the conduct of the Coun- cils in relation to their deliberations on the relief fund, His very silly communication confirms our suspicion of their motives for not publishing the proceedings of the meetings at which their plan for distributing the fund was discussed until after it had been adopted.— They bad a well founded suspicion that if the public were acquainted with its features. • feeling of indig nation might be aroused that would be any thing but agreeable to the salons who have decided that two classes of the sufferers are object& for ekaritoble do nations, and that the larger claimants are gentlemen entertaining "feelings of honest pride." ' Is this wounded pidgeon a member of the saga cious committee, or one of tht gentlemen with 'feel ings of honest pride" who wants a loan out of the relief fund 1 WHICILING MID PARICIERSDURGH are gettirg up a very interesting dispute about the terminus of the Bal timore Rail Road, and both parties are endeavoring to show, that the good of the public'and the interests of the Company will suffer, if it is not carried along their respective routes. We would regret to see these fro ward children of the Old Dominion disturb the har mony of their "family relations" by a quarrel on this subject, as it will not avail them any thing. If the Company can get the right of way to a large commercial and manufacturing city—the great depot of the com merce between the eastern seaboard and the great Valley of the Mississippi, it will hale but little desire to obtain the advantages that might be gained by a connection with either of these little Virginia rivals. We have strong hopes that among the first acts passed by the next legislature of Pennsylvania wilt be one granting the right of way to this city, and with the passage of that act, the necessity of continuing the family quarrel between our neighbors below will be ob viated. THE ACCIDENT AND THE RACE.-It appears that the accident at the Camden Race Comae was of no great account aftet all, The latest accounts state that although several persons were badly bruised and a greater number worse frightersed, no lives were lost, and all the injured are in a fair way to recover. It was generally supposed that the accident would put a stop to the race, but it being found that, as if by a miracle, no lives had bees lost, and in view of the great amount at stake on the affair, it was resolved to proceed with the business of the day. The fragments were accordingly cleared from the track, and the-hor- Sell brought up, saddled, and mounted. Fashion had the start about two lengths, which she kept at the coming in of the first, second and third mites, and won the heat by four or five lengths. In the second heat, the start was very even, end con tinued so at the coming in of each of the first three miles. On the fourth mile Fashion pined greatly, and at the close left Pcytoaa behind nearly at the distance pole. The time of the two heats was 7.19 and 7.57—i0n ger than that at New York, and much inferior to what Fashion has made nn the Canuien course. ANOTHER REPEAL A.SiOCIATIoN DIS‘OLTED.—At a meeting of the Norfolk and Portsmouth Irish Re peal Association, the following among other resolu tions, was adopted:— RPseleed, That this Associatioa be now dissolved, and no longer make it appear by our organization that we are aiding and assistance, whose language implies such a hostile feeling towards the welfare of Ameri- Ca. E►FGCT n► THE NEIVA.—The New Yolk Express says: "The last news from Europe has had a favora ble influence on our produce and money market. Very large orders. fur cotton and for ashes, have appeared; and owing to the low rates of freigbtshave been readi ly filled. The transactions in these two articles alone, have been very greatly increased since the last arri vals." LATE 11OUR.—We learn from the Herald that the town clock of Mobile got on something of a frolic the other day, and when it should have struck eleven, the pondet ous hammer pronounced the hour of sixty-eight and at tweive o'clock it informed the fear stricken cit izens that it was just one hundred and thirty nine o'- clock. A rather late hour, we should think. EDITORE—In looking over the repent of the Committee of Council, on the subject of the dis- tribution of The Relief Fund, I have been somewhat astoni.•hed at the conclusions at which the have ar rived. I am well awate that it would be impossi ble to devise a plan by which all parties would be satisfied, hut the question to be solved is a very sim ple one:—has the proper discrimination been made by the Commit eel-- bow many persons will partici pate in this fund who are now worth their 10, 20, 30 and even forty thousand dollars, to the exclusion of Widows and Orphans who have lost their all, and have no means of support left—no protector to devise ways and means fur their future support, Who is there in the community having 5, 10, or ' $15,000 left, that cannot commence business ■gain; I or who can, strictly speaking, he celled sufferers, not withstanding their losses. I believe that the mode of distribution as reported is a perversion of the in tention of the donors, and trust that it sway be recoo siderel, and some more discriminating plan be adop ted. Ina future number the Games of those who have an abundance of the good things of this world left, and seek to participate in this fund, may Le called for, and spread before the public. ONE OF THE SUFFERERS Runaway Slaves—A Grand Battle.—The Ha gerstown Torch Light and News publish accounts of a grand battle that came off on Monday morning last, between twelve runaway slaves from Leesburg, Va., and eight citizens of Smithsburg. Md. They were passed on the road to Smithsburg by Mr Adam Shank, Jr.. at 3 o'clock in the morning, and supposing them to be runaways, he alarmed citizens of Smithsburg, and a party consisting of Mr Shank, Constable Flora, Jos Waltemyre, li'y Lyday, jr. Calvin Shoop, Wm McCoy, Jos D Price and John Diamond, started in pursuit. Upon overtaking the negroes, they were commanded to halt, when they drew themselves up in battle order, their leader exclaiming to them, "Now, I bop, 13-.-d d—n you, fight!" They were armed with pistols and tomahawks, and immediately commenced • an attack upon the whites, felling several of them to the earth at the onset. The whites being unarmed, except with blundgeons, found themselves engaged in rather an unequal and hazardous contest. Repeatedly the negroes were knocked to the earth, but they returned to the contest with redoubled fury, and being all stout and very athletic men, were rather 1 hard to handle. Constable Flora was twice knocked down—Price bad hisarm nearly severed and thebooe broken by a blow from a tomahawk—he also had a pistol snapped in his face, which very fortunately fail ed to go off—McCoy bad his shoulder dislocated— Lyday received a wound in the shoulder from a toma hawk—Shank was several times felled to the earth, and the whole party more or less injured. However, after a desperate contest, the whites succeeded incur rying of one prisoner in an almost hopeless condition, with two pistols and two tomahawks, which were wrested from the hands of the negroes. Another CIO.. gro, badly wounded, after following his companions a mile or two upon their retreat, gave himself up. We also learn that two more of the gang were arrested near Leitersburg. THEATRE!
