Just now f verjtiody y trying to Link irto tlic future to see if they can deter mine whether tlic year lc(i7 i.s to be numbered among -tho years of financial ruin. We cannot lint pay that cireuin- stances point in that direction. The prices ot every kuul ot provions are steadily on the increase, while the wag cs of labor arc on the decline. The poorest article of fbur c:innot now be bought in the city of Erie for less than $13,50 nor barrel, and the best at from J17 to 913. I'uring the financial crash of 1857, if wo remember aright, the highest pi ice paid for flour was 91 1 so that vc arc now paying four dollars more -lor the name article than we did then. At (lint time the crisis was nt it highest point while now wc arc only thinking of it but almost sure it will come. L cople will very naturally inquire the cause of all this, much money iu tho ever was. No man 1 here is now as country as there will deny this. Uut why are times so ;ht ? What is the reason the men who hold this money do not invest it in business which will give the laboring classes employment ? We think tho most ready answer is that they are fearful of the future, and well they may be. It was said by the Radi cals that as soon a:i sonic setthd policy was agreed upon in regard to the Soath. that business would revive, ami that prices would soon be at a gold standard. Wejl tho "settled policy," in the shape of the Military Reconstruction Bill, with supplements thereto has been paescd and become a law, and has been accepted in good faith by tho Southern people, and yet wo have heard nothing to warrant the verification of tho prog nostications of tho Radicals. On the contrary, .since the passage of the bill in question, prices have been steadily, and ore still, advancing. Now, the fact of the matter is this : Congress has been iu session since I'o comber last. Iu ill that time they have been ceaselessly endeavoring to circuiu. vcot Mr. Johnson in his efforts to re-1 Btorc the Lusmess relations and mutual confidence between tho North and tho South. They, id thoy alone, arc the men who should bo held accountable for the coming crash. We aro no alarmists wo may be mistaken, and wo sincerely hope we are but things look toward the eventful crisis so strongly, that it were well to be prepared when it arrives. There is but one way in which we can lessen tho sufferings which will inevitably follow, and that is by everybudy helping their ficighbor. M. Q5The thorough aud complete tri umph of tho Democracy in Connecticut, who have succeeded in electing three out of fo.ur Congressmen, is exceedingly gratifying aud encouraging. Tho Radi cal ranks are broken aud that party, overwhelmed with defeat, see in their dUcomfiture the evidence of a terrible awakening among the masses. They realize that the peopl of Connecticut are tired of Radical misrule, and are anxious that the wholo country bo re stored to its accustomed peaceful rela tions, which cannot bo done so long as tho Radicals are in power, Connecticut has struck the first blow at the Radical pyramid, and by Novem ber, 1808, in the good Providence of God, the foul aud rotten structure will bo toppled to tho ground, and law, or-, dor and Constitutional liberty will be speedily restored to us thereafter. " Let all the earth rejoice aud glad," at the auspicious beginning Connecticut ! Jienjen Democrat. be SgXThe Radicals have been making a great noiso over tho Presidential par dons. The list of names of the puid'jn fcj has just been printed, in accordance with a resolution of Congress, and it ap pears that in nearly every instance in wliich a pardon was granted, Radicals had endorsed the application. So much for that clamor. Ibid. J-Grceley says that tho ..v. .' do. feat ia Connecticut win enr-ed by the threats of Sumner and Wilson to fuiee negro suffrage on the NcrJieru States. Perhaps it was.

There is but one truo Mod ; (to tiicro is but nun truo religion, but ono truo I'lnne'i. Thero inny bo any number of nar (.oils (injects pi religions worship or objects of that devotion which should bo given to (lod only. Tho heathen have their idols of wood, stone, gold or silver ; and so ihuro tuny bo idols of anoiiier kind set up in tho hearts of those who might bo offended if you dmibt whethet they worship tho true (Jod. !ut idolatry, whether gross or more .refined, is not truo religion. That is the worship of tho ono truo God : the God of Abraham, Isaao and Jacob : the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ : the God, not of the Jews only, but of the Gentiles also : the Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Karth, who wap, and who is, and who shall bo forever. When we read "In the beginning God created the heaven and tho earth," wc understand that God existed before ' the beginning " that he is eternal and as lie depends not for cxistenco on any other being, wo say God is self- existent, lie did not bcrjin to be, and so II is existence can never cease. God is not subject to.change. He who crea' ted the world and the human race, can do all things " Is anything too hard for the Lord ? " lie that cave man understandinz " that teachcth him knowledge " must know all things. So we say that God is sell-existent, eternal, unchangeable, .qui nipotent and omniscient. Here pause a moment to think of God's grcutne.'. What honor we are accustomed to pay to grcnt man how eager to sec them how we should re- juice (not to say yhrt) if wc could form t!icir acquaintance and bo numbered among their friends ! But God is a Bo. nig in comparison with whom all men ate as nothing. All human greatness shrinks into insignificance when wo think of Him who is from eternity to eternity tho same : who spoke into be ing the universe. onlv a small nart of wluoli do wo know anything about. .... . " . . j - - who established tho " laws of Nature," who preserves and governs tho whole creation, and might any moment (if he pleased) blot the whole out of cxistenco : whoso providence determines tho length of our lives, and all our circumstances in whoso hand our breath is, and whoso are all our ways." Think what this infinite Bein-' has done for His lends, and against his enemies ; who can but wish to have such a Helper, and to avoid the anger of such a Foe 1 If people would only think of God, would they dare to speak His name so lightly ? to live in r.cglect ot his plainest com mands ? People do not consider, else there would be more of that cur of the Lord which is the beginning of wis dom. C. C. Nr. Editor: Allow mo to call fhe attentiou of your readers to a very re markable phenomenon, which all may navo opportunity to observe at this sea son of the year. I call it very rcmarka tie, not because it is uncommon, but be cause it is so uniform as to establish a principle; and ono which is very im. portaut in its practical applications. Perhaps T should lay claim to a little discovery iu this matter ; but I have observed several instances whcie tho principle seems to have been recognized and and acted upou for the benefit of tho public. Indcoii, it has long been an acknowl. edged principle, or law, among scientific men, and in many places it has been applied to tho improvement of the pub lic roads; but it would seem to be not generally known in this county. So without claiming any original discovery, I merely ask your readers to obscrvo for themselves tho fact that water invaria bly tends to run down hill. And it will bo noticed also that tho force of the water tuods to move along with jt any loose particles of earth that may bo in its way. Now in a country so hilly as ours tho importance of this principle can hardly be overated. It is necessary to obscrvo it in the construction of roads, and keeping them in repair, and tho appli cation is not difficult. Thus: if wo make die middle of the road tho high est, with a good ditch on each side, the water will naturally seek tho ditch and flow along (juicily by tho roadside. Where tho road is nearly level this is all that is needed, but if there is a con. sidcrable inclination, a little mound or Lnr thrown across the road once in two or three rods will turn the water into the ditch, and prevents its mnkimi a ditch in the middle of tho road. It is better to make a mound or bar than to dig a trench across the road, as it does not jolt a carriage so much. Now, Mr. Editor, I venture to say that if the supervisors of our highways will carry out the above suggestion, it will save us a great deal of expense and give us a great deal bettor roads. Ev ery uitizeu will thank them, and I will ask nothing more for my advice. cms. Mr. Editor: Will some of yonr mathematical correspondents enlighten me on the question How to combine finite factors so as to produce inSoitv ? If it can be done, I should like to know how, yet it so generally believed I do not like to say it cannot bo dono, with, out tho advice of thoso better acquaint, with mathematics. EVANGELIST.

Govenor V orth, of North Carolina, and Governor Orr, of South Carolina, are at Charleston in conference with General Sickles. The utmost accord exists among the parties.

The proposed -cession of Russian America to the United States, is creating great joy in 'California. Our fellow citizens of the Pacific coast, consider its acquisition a matter of great impor tance to them. The registration of voters under tho new suffrago act has commenced in Washington. The registration . in the First ward shows the blacks greatly in the majority, tho whites taking no par ticular interest in the matter. A gentleman in Portland, Maine, lost an envelope on the street containing UmUU, on Mouday last. Several people passing, supposed it to be an April fool joke, kicked it and poked it, but no one lifted it until a boy came along, took it up and developed its contents, whicn were returned to the owner. Lee, who stole 930,000 worth of Treasury bonds from tho Department in February, and who was arrested three or four weeks ago, in St, Louis, and tried and sentenced to four years' imprisonment, has been taken to tho Albany peuitontiary. Ho was identified there as having absconded from that city, before the war, with 912,000. Within a few days past there has been a large contribution of facts from various sources concerning the character of the Russian-American treaty, serving to show that compara tively littlo has heretofore been kuowu concerning it. In consequence oi these new revelations there is a better pros, pect than a week ago for tho ratification of tho pending treaty. An enthusiastic meeting was held Thursday iu San Francisco, in aid of tho destituro Soutuern States. Gov. Low presided. Over 911,000 were sub. scribed, and arrangements were made to take up collections throughout tho Pacific States.

Another clergy man was sent lor, but owing to tho late ness of tho hour and the inclemency of the weather, ho refused to comply, and the ceremony had to bo postponed till Iho next day. In the mcantimo the person having the license appeared, and in due time on the morrow the minister was en route for the residenco of th brido : but on arriving on tho banks of the classic Hiukston Creek, the flood had placed an impassablo barrier in his way. Not to bo thwarted this time however, one of tho bridal attendant swam the stream with tho license, the bride and rroom, mounted on horseback urew near tno waters edge. 'J tie mm istcr mounted a stump, and from the opposite side ot tho stream, proceeded to solemnize the marriage rites according to the statutes of Kcutueky. Thus, says tlic uarlislc Mercury, were Jerry Jewell and Jlannaii Slirout, both of Bourbon County made one flesh and bade go their way rejoicing. Tensionino Newspapers. Accord ing to an act of Congress the Clerk of the llouso of Representatives is enipow crcu to autnonzo two newspapers in each of the excluded States to publish the United States laws and do the official advertising for the government. Good prices arc paid for tins work, and the weaker class of newspapers struggle for it as if it were tho journalistic elixir ol life. Mr. McPherson, the House Clerk nas awaraea tnis patronage to papers in nearly all tho Southern States, and we find that the fortunate ones aro all of them of extreme Radical type, and nearly all ot them sickly concerns, wliich could not long exist without food from some unusual quarter. It seems to us that if the Radicals arc determined to pension the few papers in tho South which arc engaged in fomenting dis tui uances and keeping alive political passion and hatred, it would be better to make a direct money appropriation ! They might as well b published in Kamschatka as in the journals selected, as lar as their preseu- i. . . ... i i uuuii iu my couiuei u pcnpie is con cerned.

The fact is that that p recious nuuibug was very particularly and effectually exposed in 1819. At that time a Georgian planter had occasion to visit Trinidad, where, in consequence of a mania on me monkey subject, he in vested in that lively article largely ;uany or tns purchases died cn route., but ho finally reached his homo with twenty-throe of the littlo chaps, which cose line ail told, StS.UUO. Jor two weeks not a stroke of work was done on the place. Every hand, white or black. had to play with tho monkeys. After a littlo, all the pickers were sent into the field to teach the monkeysjiow to pick, the calculation being that one negro could manage ten monkeys, aud that five monkeys could pick as well us three darkies. It took a second fort night for the planter to see the fruit of his labor, and then ho saw something that he didn't like. Instead of one negro managing ten monkeys it took ten ne groes to manage ono monkey, and he was so mischievous that he wasted more cotton than ho picked. Tho enterprising planter was fully convinced of the folly of his plan, gave h is monkeys to his neighbors as curiosites, sold the remain der to a menagerie, and concluded to stick to human labor from that time on. Soi.mEii Wrr. Tho colonel of an Alabama regiment was- famous for having everything done up in Military style. Once, while field officer of the day, and going his tour ot inspection, he camo on a sentinel from tho Eleventh Mississippi Regiment, sitting flat down on his post, with his gun takeu entire'y to pieces, whoa tho following dialogue took place : Colon kl. Don't you know that a scntiuel while on duty, should always keep on his feet f Sentinel (Without looking up.) That's tho way we used to do when tho war first began but that's played out long ago, Colonel. (Begiuing to doubt if tho man was on duty.) Are you the sentinel hero ? Sentinel.
