THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, A tIGUST 2S, 1866.
AMUSEMENTS.
Tm New Cdbsnot Streft Thiatkii. Charles
Dickens' prest novel, Our l&atucu Friend, havlna;
keen dramatized for this theatre, will be pro
duced for the first time In this country this
evening, with a cast embracing Mis JosieOrtoo;
Messrs. P. F. Mackav, B. L. Tilton, YV. II. Bailey,
James Tajlor, 8. Dubois, Bliss C. Jefferson, Mrs.
Keaeh, aiul little Kittle ISnker. The piece will
be placed upon the stuee in splendid style, aud
Will have as tine a run as Baccarat.
Nitw Walnut Stkket Theatre. The wonder
ful Ilulslay Faintly are drawing very full houses,
and the rccepUou accorded them each evening
is most flat tort ug. Monsieur Ilcnil Ajroust, the
great conjuror, athlete, physical jester, and
pantoroimist, and Mai'lle Rosita, the premiere
ilanreuse and tight-rope performer, are the
favorites of the laoies and children. The
tableaux of the "Watchers," "America," and
"Shower of Uold" are wonderfully beautiful,
and a re warmly encored each evening bv the
entire audience. The "Ntaeara Leap" of the
voting Titii-lav.raYii, and the "Spiral Mountain
jFeaf' by Buislav pere, are too fearful for female
contemplation, but their artistic execution is
keenly appreciated by the firmer sex. A very
pleasant comic pantomime concludes the per
formance each evening.
The Nw American Theatre. This establish
ment Is doomed to disappointment. It would
appear. La-t evening one Stuart Uobon, a low
comedian, who bad been engaged as a star, was
taken with a sudden penchant for viniting his
birthplace In the "Sunny South," and when It
was time to raise the curtain the announcement
was made that the siar set down In the bills and
bonds rould not be found The resources of the
theatre were at once tepted, and an excellent
melange- performance promptly Improvised.
The absent "etar" bas fooled his Iriendsonce too
often, we fear, tor his own good.
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional City Intelligence see Ihird Fage.
Reopening of Tbade. From the Indi
cations in our midst and irom the reports c
our neighboring cities, the fall trade Is com
.mencine with a great, and vicrorous demand for
.all kinds of staples. Early as the season is, our
merchants at the watering places, and irom
their retirement in the country, are hastening
to the city to take measures for meeting the
large calls that are being made upon them.
.From every indication, there will be a heavy
fall trade this season. The streets and side
walks are crowded with boxes and packages,
and the stores are tilled with customers from
all parts ot the country North, South, East,
and West. In dry good especially, .there ap
pears to be a very lace stock in hand. For
the past few months tl ere has been a heavy im
portation, and large quantities manufactured
by our hom factories, aud there not being a
latae demand bv the jobbers and retailers, the
supply has accumulated. OwinK to this fact
prices, as a general thing, average lower than
the same time last year; in mojt cases Irom ten
to twenty per cent, in the wholesaling.
The country merchants from all parts of the
interior are well represented. The Western
merchants represent business in their section to
be brisk and raoidlv linnrovine. Our city and
New York, indeed, are enlivened by the presence
of prominent merchants from all the principal
oiues ol the West, and even from the trans
Mississippi rep ion. From tne South there does
not appear to be so many buyers, nor do these
buyers brine fuch heavy orders as of old. Tne
poverty of the whole Southern people is too
manifest, and there are too many scores that
were run up last year remaining unsettled for
our merchants to give very heavy credit or long
time. Tbo general tone, however, is one of hope
thatthe crops in the South will bo Detter paying
thau last year, and will leave a surplusage to
pay their bills to the Northern merchants. In
general there appears to be a general determi
nation to adhere to the. net cast system in all
our business transactions.
There are some tears that the presence of the
cholera amongst us w ill influence the trade to a
great extent, the country merchants having a
natural mead of coming to our crowded cities
during its continuance amongst u. How far
this tear Is unreasonable or rash we shall not
say, but it does have weieht. Even the eager
grasping for the "almighty dollar," that has
such hold on most of our business men, will not
wholly conquer its terrors.
There appears to be, in our prominent busi
ness circles, r much easier feeling in regard to
finaucial matters. Tne money panic which
appeared Impending over our heads a short
while ago, irom the iailures in the older coun
tries, appears to have disappeared, and on all
sides there seems to be a geueral feeling that
theiewill be no panic whatever. This feeling
engenders a spirit of enterprise and good faith
in our business transactions, that caunot but
prove of beneficial etlecl iu extending trade of
all kinds.
An Unusually Intelligent Contra
band. The fact that "poets are born, not made,"
never bad a more forcible exemplification than
in the person of a poor old negro man named
George Horton, who Is at present In the hands
of the Frecdmen's lie lief Association, Walnut
street, above Fourth. This man was a slave of
Mr. James Horton, of Chatham county, North
Carolina, until that State was taken possession
. of by the Union army.
He had been bat a common field hand, and
had of course no instruction irom any one; but
in spite of these difficulties be contrived to learn
to read, and secretly procuring a lew books, he
devoted every spare moment to them. He was
especially fond of poetry, and never Ibrtrot a line
he had read. He displayed the most remarkable
talent for versification at an early age, and as
toe could not wiite, he repeated his poems aloud
to others, who wrote them down for him.
In 1829 a little volume of these verses was
printed, to enable him to purchase bis liberty,
when ho intended to emigrato to Liberia, fie
was anient and enthusiastic in reirard to his
prospects, and looked forward wit h the greatest
pleasure to hii) liberation from bondage. The
following verse (admirable in their way) he
wrote when anticipating his release:
" Twas like tho salutation of the dovo
Borne on tho zephvr through 8ruo lonosomo grove,
When soring returns, aud winter's chill is past, -And
veeetation smiles upon the blast.
Ihe silent barp which on tho osiers hung
A pam was tuned, and manumission uuf,
Awav by Hope the oiouds o. fi'ar e'e driven,
And mualo breathed uiy gratitude to Heaven."
His works, nowevc did not realize a Buili
cient sum, and he was aoomrd to remain in
slavery. It is a remarkable fact that he did not
again write verses until be obtained bis freedom.
Tiie caged b'.rd would not sing.
He is now a very old man, without a friend
but the Freedmau's Society, or any means of
support but that which they afford him. He is
a profound and prolific writer now, aud many
vt his poems are replete with delicate and re
ined sentiment, line aud beautiful metaphor,
and are distinguished for a remarkable accuracy
ef rhvtbm.
Thoe who feel an interest in intellectual pro
digies should certainly visit this poor, inarm
old neiro. who, beneath his homely form, hides
an intelligence, a bright intellectual tire, that
would have made an imperishable name for him
had be enjoyed tne benefits 01 an oramary edu
nation.
Malicious. Elizabeth Terrls. a ?ery ex
citable female, got into a verv severe tit of
tlestructlvenecs yprterday, and undertook to
mBBb thinss centrally in the neighborhood of
Tenth and Master streets. Taking umbrage at
the window of a house in that vicinity, she
thrust her fist tbrousb one of the Danes of
glass, and causing considerable pain to herself
by cutting a series or casnes in her nana and
wrist. She was arrest-Hi tor indulging In this
Amusement, and committed in dotault by Alder
man Tittermury to answer.

Wnf.BE Shall We Live? For those
who are settled in a comfortable little homo in
the heart of the city, this question has no par
ticular sitrnlflcance. But with that fnumerouj
class which, even in this town of steady habits,
are forced to change their habitation onoe a
year or more, it Is the one great question of life,
rising superior even to the grand problem of
"What shall we cat and drink, and wherewithal
shall we be clothed ?"
Pondering this matter the olher day, we took
onr seat In a horse-car at the corner of Third
and Walnut streets, resolved deliberately upon
ieconnoiirtne that, indefinite lecaltty on ihe
oih r side of the Schuvlklll which passes under
the. general title of Wei-r Philadelphia. The
first thing we noticed was tho tact that we were
seated in a vehicle which was almost sump
tuous in Its arrangements and finish. The sca'.s
were certainly more comfortable and the deco
rations more tasty than any we remember to
have encountered on any other lino '.n the city.
Inquiring of a gentleman who sat. near, and
who appeared to be thoroughly posted upon
the ceiiernl affaiis of the road, we were In
formed that the Chesnut and Walnut streets
line were now running forty cars, of which
number ciuhteen were entirely new, having
been placed upon the road at the time toat it
wa opened beyond the Chesnut Street Bridge.
These cars, we were aswred -and our subse
quent observation ot them exterior as well as
Interior, con vinccd us that It was all tha. sober
truth Hie superior to any in the city for
strength, as well as for finish. And yet they
weigh but two tons each, while some new cars
which have recently been placed upon olher
enterprising roads exceed them in weight by
several hundred pounds. This item, of course,
it. of uo particular consequence to the passenger,
but it Is of vast importance to the hard-worked
animals, whose tusu it is to drag them throuuh
the streets. The cars in question cost $1150
each, and were built at the celebrated manufac
tory of Harlan, Holhngsworth & Co., Wilming
ton, Delawaie, an establishment, by-the-way,
which holds a rank second to none of a similar
character In the United Slates.
Our curiosity with repaid to the vehicle In
which we ;at being satisfied at last, we next
turned our attention to the sights and scenes
along the road. They were not over-attractive
as we approached the new bridge from the east.
Breweries, stone and marble yards, and un
finished buildings, were the most prominent
features. Hut these are destined in a very short
time to bo done away with, giving place to the
handsome residences which must eventually till
this, one of the most desirably located portions
of the city.
Tho bridge itself, the new Chesnut Street
Bridge, although it was thrown open to car
travel on the Fourth of July, Is not quite com
pleted. The cars pass over it regularly; so do
loot passengers, but vehicles ol all kinds are
still prohibited from trespassing on its sacred
precincts. Tt:e time will come when even these
will be permitted to take the bridge in their
wav, but precisely when is y t a mystery. But
little remains to be done bciorc the bridge wdl
be entirely fini-hed. The paving ot the side
walks is under way; so is the iron railing.
There is nothing more to be done towards the
completion of the structure.
Once over '.he briclgo, and one Is in consider
able doubt a to whether or not he should be
plensed with the prospect. The collection of
Ill-favored factories and mills which Jiue both
banks ot the Schuylkill is ccrintnlv not attract
ive. There is al-o a nuisance in tho idiape of the
West Chester Railroad, but this will soon be re
moved, as it is the intention ot the Cmipany to
locate their depot to Ihe south of Chesnut street.
There is, likewise, nn assortment of open lots and
antiquated iramc bouses wincn detract some
what from the enchantment of the view.
When this locality is one passed, however.
we find ourselves in one of the most charming
sunuros on tne continent, it is nait country
and half city a veritable landscape with long
rows ot brick houses and looming church spires
in tne distance. A more charming spot tor the
residence of a business man or a mechanic could
net be conceived, much less desired. Aud the
crowning feature of the whole is the fact that.
within twenty minutes, or half au hour at the
most, you can place yourself in tho heart of a
great and bustling city, at the frivolous expense
01 six and a quarter cents. The ready access ot
West Philadelphia if. Indeed, its strongest point,
aud the one Which places it far ahead of Ger
mantown, Chesnut Hill, and each one of our
other numerous suburbs. .
Even before the Chesnut sheet railway was
opened to Forty-second street by tho comple
tion of the bridge, many palatial residences
were erected on and near tho present hue of its
track?. But now that the only drawback is re
moved by itf completion, buildings are rising
out of the earth with the rupidity of Aladdin's
palaces: and while they rival these last in at
tractiveness, they will surely surpass them in
durability. As an illustration ot tne impetus
which the opening of the through line has given
to building, we may state that lots fronting on
Chesnut street, above Thirty-sixth, have in
creased in value sufficient to bear the entire
cost of the road 1
But wlu'.e thus surmisiLg, we approached the
end of the route. At a distance of full three
miles and a half from the Front street terminus,
we reached Forry-eecond street, the present
western limit of the road. At this point the
Company have constructed temporary car
houses and 6tablcs, and are now builv engaged
In the erection of their permanent headquarters.
These will be of brick, and equal in exterior
appearance and interior arrangement to any in
the city or country. They occcupy tho whole
block bounded by Forty-first. Forty-second,
Chei-nut and Sansom streets, with a frontage on
Chesnut street of 310 feet, and a depth of 320
feet.
The car-house will extend the entire length of
the Chesnut street front, and will be 63 feet in
width, and two stories in height, the second
story to be used as a repairing shop. Tne offices
ot the company will be located at the corner of
rorty-secona street, on tne nrst noor. Tbe
foundations of this n: am moth structure are
already laid, and it is expected that it. will be
entirely completed by the opening of the new
year. The stable, which is located on tne San
Bom street side of the block, will be larger even
than the car-house, extending the entire length
ot the lot, 210 feet, and having a width
of 90 feet. This ulso will be two
stories in height, the second story to be used for
tbe storage of food lor the horses. The building
is already under way, and will be completed by
tbo 1st ot ueeemoer. rue total cost ot tne im
provements projected by the company will ho
about $uu,uuu. wnen tney are nuisiiea the
Chef nut and Walnut Streets Rai.road will be in
condition to compete successfully with any
line in the city. And even now, the person who
is striving to solve tne prouiera, "wnere uhaii 1
Iivp ?" w ill hnd a satisfactory answer, If ne will
but take a Walnut street car and make the round
trip to West Philadelphia and back.
Tiie Police of the City. It Is indeed
a matier to congratulate ourselves on, the gene'
ral quiet und order that Tcigns in our citv.
There probably never was a time when such a
scarcity of criminal casus was known iu our
city. It seems almost as if thieves and disorderly
characters had forsaken their colliug, and
resolved to live in respectful submission to law
and order. We do not have a single startling
caso of crime to present to our readers. It is
indeed gratifying to The niide of Pinladelnhians
to compare the condition of our city with that
of others, the compansou being so greatly in our
lavui.

Correction. In our report of the counter
feiting case the United Stales vs. John Mool
hart and James Foster, hoard in the United
States Court yesterday, great injustice was done
Mr. Michael Magulre. The facts of the arrest
should have read as follows: On the night of
July 2 the accused called at the public house of
Mr.' Magulre, Dilliwyn and Willow street, and
left in charge of the proprietor a box, which
upon examination proved to contain the bogus
plate and other matters incidental to thA
counterfeiting business. Mr. Magulre at once
repaired to Alderman Toland'a office and lodged
intormation. The services of two officers were
secured, and after being secreted in the nol
until the attcrnoon cf the 4th, arrested the de
fendants. Corner Lounging. There have been
numerous arrests during the past few davs for
this offense. It Is a very pernicious and debas
ing habit, now bo common among I young
men, to 6it and lounge around the corners of the
streets, especially in front ot the corner taverns,
and obstruct passers-by. When thus congre
gated together the cars of ladies passing bv are
polluted by their vile language and profanity.
It is with, pleasure we notice that the
police authorities have turned their attention to
abating this nuisance.
Foreion Periodicals. Mr. A. Winch,

American can now have any foreign magazine,
review, or newspaper served at his residence
upou the urrival of each steamer from Europe.
A Trize. Yesterday the Harbor Police
discovered a skill about sixteen feet long,
secreted amongst the reeds, just above Rich
mond, on the Delaware fiont. The skiff had
been of alight pca-gTeer, but was painted over
with black. In it were one pair of oars, one
handsaw, one compass saw. one hammer, one
small axe, and one gum blanket. These articles
are all supposed to have been stolen. The boat
and other articles aye noy awaiting an owner.
Slight Fikk. A fire was discovered in
the premises occupied bv A. J. L'ghrcap, as a

An auger hole had beeu bored in the shut

will not exceed $200. There was an insurance
on the stock of $2000 in the Glob'; Insurance.

SECRETARY McCULLOCH ON THE FINANCES.
It appears thut the Secretnry of tbe Treasury'
was recently ou a Yllt to the Mlub of tiie Ifni
vornc," end that while there he- was Invited' to
dinner, but instead ol aceeptins and dipwting
the meal, he lelt his would-be eutertaioeni to
digest his financial views, a expressed in th.e
following letter to them:
Although it waa hoped that, ere this Uie rtur
reucy of the country wottld have been brauRht
nearer to the specie standard, I an suro that the
people have cause for coazralulatton tbat ewr
flnaueea are in so healthy a ooruditioa
they are.
btn?e March, 18C5, the war bna b"on broMKht
to a Buecrwblul concliiHtou; limuenHU armies kutve
been disbanded; every soldier ha.v bcea paid
before being tmunered out of the ftcrvlc; nil
maturing oblications of tbe fiovcrninent have
been satiBtuciorily piovidcd for, while the
national debt Is nearly $250,1)00,000. lesa taan it
was eslimuted li would be at th- present timefc
and tie reduction of it has avertvQa fox- the past
year more than $10,000,01)0 pes month. It n
ot her nation ever rolled up a debt so rapidly, none
certainly ever commenced tho reduction of Us
debt bo soon after its creation. If our cur
rency Is depreciated, we have so far
escaped tbo financial troubles that usually
occur anions nations nt the cloa ot eJtpcosiT
wars, and which tbero was reu-on to uppceiicnd
would happen to us at tUe- termination of tbe
gient war in which we hvo been en;rtged. If
the business of tbe couuuv is conducted upon a
clinueiug and uncert iia Uiisi', it haa bcea 6nb
jeet to no severe revuWous. If our t:i are
heavy our resource are nlonoat uulimitod,
while tb dlsi0"ilionOif the people to bear cheer
fully their burden is u surprise even to tuose
who have the greatest conadeuue iu tho honor
and good faith ot a free people. Iu my opinion,
the people ot tho United States are to muke re
publicanism, illustrious among f ho nntiou. by
t-stabli&niug the tact, that the securities of a
republican povernment are safest vt all
pccui'ittec, and that the people wholntposo tsxe.
upon themselves are tte most jealous of their
national credit.
I do not, however,' disguise the fact that great
financial difficulties nre ulill to be overcome;
that our present prospetirj 1s rather apparent
than real; that we arc measuring value by a
litlee standard; that we aie in fact exposed to
all the oaneer which p.tlend an inflated and
irredeemable currency, which Oimlnuihc labor

stimulates speculation RDd extravannoe

Htra'd t'Cally pi'Oapcroua, the specie standard
must be restored, prices reduced, industrr
stimulated, the product ot the country in
creased, the balance of traio between the
United Stunts and other nations cease to be
against us all the great interests of tbe coun
try cared lor mid protected by wise aud impar
tial legislation, and all sections of tue country
bo brought attain into harmonious and practical
relations with the general (iovcrnment.
That the country will bo acniti thus really
prosperous is as certain as anything iu tae
l'utuie. That it should be so ut'an early daj,
and that, too, without a financial crisis, it is
only necessary that there should be proper
leulution by Congress, economy in tho public
expenditures, ami fidelity on the part of those
who are entrusted with the management of the
public revenue.
Trusting that you will pardon me for wrltimr
so long a letter in acknowledge the receipt of
your very courteous invitation, I remain, very
truly, your obedient servant, .
