Th An of Comiietltlon. F,omlheN. Y. TriHun. Everybody remembers the War of the Dio tiouaries, aud the Impressive appeals wliloh were promulgated to the bewildered public to Get the beat." In these latter days, the lexicographical duel having a little abated, we have the War of the Hewing Machines and the War of the Piano-Fortes. The contests Of trade have assumed almost the bitterness Of religious controversy. "We keeps a poet," Bald the wife of the proprietor of an incom parable blacking, a remark which tickled Lord Byron bo much that for some time he was ooutinually alluding to it in his let ters. It la notorious that the age has pro duced no great epical production; and alter ruminating for many hours, we have deter mined that no poet of the day could desire better subject lor twelve doors oi ueroio verse thau the War or tne riano-r ones. We could easily frame an argument, ine poem would begin with the customary call upon nine well-known ancient ladies, and one frisky old gentleman by the name of l'hdjbus polio. Twenty lines would follow upon the time when Music, heavenly maid, was youug. Invention of the ancient lyre, contests of the Grecian poets, with faint allusions to the con tests of Steinway and Chickering. Six lines about St. Cecilia, for which the writer might read up in Dryden's ode. Mention of the lact that Orpheus had no piano-forte description of the Flaying of Marsyas, in which the author might exhibit great anatomical knowledge, for whioh he would read up in Sir Charles Bell. General view of the History of Music, for Which see Dr. Burney, Sir. John IIawkin3, and the advertisements of Max Maretzek. This would finish the First Book. Hints for the remaining eleven may be' had cheap by apply ing in the proper quarter. We don't know why we thus indulge In banter. The competitions of trade have already assumed a serious aspect, and resulted in an ink-shed which we may fairly characterize as profuse. The time has gone by when chapmen Stood in their doorways crying out all day, 'What dve lack? what d'ye lack?" The modern advertisement has taken the place of this shop rhotorio; and, for aught we know, the fish-wives of Billingsgate now advertise their herrings and haddocks in the Loudon Times. Formerly, it was quite enough for a man to keep his shop, and his shop would keep him; but, nowadays, whoever would sell anything must make known his wishes by proclamation. It would be ungrateful in ns if we were to find fault with this state of things, by which we live and thrive; and so long as tradesmen keep good-natured, their ardors and activities are not merely pardon able, but honorable. The old adage has found a new significance. The devil will most cer tainly take the hindmost. It would be quite frightful, if the explorer Were of a lugubrious turn of mind, to think of all the "Wants" which the pages of 'a daily journal present. So many people out of place and anxious for work so many emitting a little four-line appeal for employment so many with something to sell, which they must ell or financially perish so many defending for dear life the excellence and the cheapness of their wares so many conllicting interests andrivalries apparently desperate so man? deadlvaTitai?0ftist3- making their worst com mercial faces at each other so many wishing the very things whioh so many other people are ; burning to furnish in short, such a general medley and mixture, and crowd of cross purposes ! Nothing under the sun that may not be had for a little money except peace, contentment, and happiness ! The world a great market place in which we may buy everything except truth, and honor, and success 1 Swarms of men mutually dependent upon each other, and all living in a state of chronic antagonism 1 But this view, however natural to the man of dyspepsia, or to the man of bilious leisure, would, as is usual with all' low and despairing views of human life, be an unjust one. The philosophical truth, we take it, is that if the average of men did not gratify their wishes and find a fulfilment of their purposes in ad vertising, instead of increasing and rising almost to the dignity of a fine art, advertising would long ago have gone altogether out of use. As practised at the present day, it has a claim to be considered as an invention or dis covery. It is almost certain that those who use it as a means fail only in a small minority of cases to attain their ends. There is only one class of advertisements arranged as "Wants;" but really all advertisements indi cate a want of something, which it is for the interest of somebody to supply. But, after all, notwithstanding the great success of the system, we hardly think that its prodigious economy of time and money is sufficiently appreciated. A Wall street broker . may run up and down that quiet and pastoral thoroughfare, with his stock of goods in his hand, and his very presence advertises his merchandise; but nobody can meander from house to house with a large aud valuable as sortment of anything on his back. When peddhng-went out advertising came in; three centuries ago the infallible pills and pain ex tinguishers would have been sold from a stage in the middle of a fair. No doubt, if the truth were known, Paraeebus himself vended bis panaceas in that ignoble way. We have changed all that, aud advertising having made competition possible, we have it iu its sharp est, most eager, and most adventurous form. Abe time has not come for refining and mak ing chivalrous such combats in these oolamus; and we do not therefore advise our warriors to keep tlwir tempers. The field whluh they purchase of us is their own for all save im moral purposes; but as we have several small lots in the neighborhood, which we reserve for our own exclusive occupation, we trust that our knightly tenants will not tilt more noisily than is necessary. filiation of tiold lu Loudou ud From the N. Y. Time. There is an extraordinary accumulation of gold at present in the Banks of England and France. The forow has run up its stock of coin to $121,875,000, and the latter to ftino.noo.000. makiiicr a total which is far - - -, j i beyond what is needed either for the car rent purposes of trade in the two capitals r for the eecuiity and stability -of the banks. . The only general reason that' can bo as- nlznea w' ,nia unprecedented increase ui iuj ..i.Ti feelintr of caution and fear in ,ZLrn the future that prevails throughout the busiueM circles' of Europe.

I'ublio confidence In the continuanoe of peace may revive a little with the approach of winter. But the proRpect of business generally in Europe be coming very brisk is not encouraging. (Jreat Britain has more expensive national enter prises on foot than usual. There is still con siderable disoontent in Ireland. The war against Abyssinia is just beginning. Then British capital is retreating from all quarters of the world in which there is any sign of dis turbance. In France the fortifications at Strasbourg am beinir strengthened. The Luxembourg aud the Danish questions have not been settled ! satisfactorily to the Emperor Napoleon, aud occasional reports regarding their reopening j find ready credence. A conference between the King of Prussia aud the Emperor and Em- j press of France and the sovereigns of North Germany has been called. The Roman ques tion still presses towards a solution whioh : it seems difficult to reach peacefully. There is an insurrection in Spain. Russia is arm- ing. Preparations are being made for a rising in Bulgaria to drive the Turks out of Europe. All these, and many similar indications of . coming trouble, added to the war in South , America and difficulties in obstructions to ! trade in other parts of the world, drive capi- j tal into the Bank of England, and must retain most ot the surplus there for some time to j come. The people of Great Britain and the J Continent generally are not disposed to en gage in any speculations at present; the future is uncertain, and they have taken in sail iu view of the cloud of war in the distance. The only good outlet for the surplus capital of Euiope is this country. Here there is no danger of war. Our natural resources are un bounded, and we could give profitable em ployment to far more money thau we are likely to obtain from any quarter. If the present threatening aspect of affairs on the other side of the Atlantic continues, we may hope to receive a large iullux of foreign capital. ' Life Insurance, anil lt; Popular Kstlma tlou. From the N. Y. Tribune. Most of our readers will remember that a chief result of the convention of insurance companies, held last November, was the or ganization of a Chamber of Life Insurance of the United States. The plan of this Chamber was excellent, embodying as it did mutual consultations aud advice among the companies upon all matters reVrring to their scientific knowledge, business efficiency, and general prosperity. One of its first visible results now makes its appearance. It is a list of all com panies in the United States, the number of their policies, their assets and liabilities, aud places of business. Such a list would be valu able, merely as a list, if its information wore new. But the faots which it embodies were tolerably accessible before the present issue; and no special credit is due, therefore, to the Chamber for bringing them forward. Nor can the tabular statement of what the compa nies have done be regarded as particularly impressive. Trie mind is led to consider the exhibit a view of shortcomings instead of suc cess, and rather an indication of what is possi ble than a eulogy upon what has been done. The total population of the United States may now be rouudiy stated at 3u,000,000. There are in force, or were on January 1, only 349,3212 policies. We exclude foreign coun tries with American branches, aud "Accident" companies. Of this number of policies, New York, with a population of 3,01)7,304, issued 153,011; Connecticut, 1)2,135 policies, popula tion 370,71)2; Massachusetts, 2S.509 policies, population 1,221,432; New Jersey, 27,G4'j policies, population 4SD,5.'5.r); Pennsylvania, 14,271 policies, population 2,311, 78l. The total population of these five States being 7,4H0,8fj!), the total of policies in force issued by them is 315,752, leaving 33,570 policies to be distributed over the remaining two-thirds of the population. Of course it will be said that New York naturally absorbs a very great proportu n of the business of the country, but that does not account for the condition of life insurance as gathered from these figures, nor for other significant facts, sush as that while New Jersey with her 4S9.555 people issues 27,C4(J policies, Massachusetts, with three time3 more people, issues les than a thousand more policies. We believe it to be strictly true that tho business of life insurance could be increased twenty-fold by using the right meaus of at tracting the public. The benefits conferred by the system are too little known, aud yet they are as important as thoy are various. A policy of insurance is at once an investment at a high rate of interest, and an available security in many transactions. It represents a sum of money, realizable in case of the insured party's death, often larger than could be accumulated by the savings of many years, and certainly larger than the premiums would aggregate if simply placed out at even compound interest. If the death be premature the amount is paya ble at once, and the outlay to secure it may be very trilling. The man who has provided against the contingency of his early decease has done a simple act of prudence aud justice which will be a source of mental comfort to himself, and regarded by his family a3 a proof of his wise ailcction lor them, buould lie de- Eire a provision for his old age, he can, by a plan common with many companies, euter upon an annual income at a specified date, if he makes an annual payment up to that time. Should he wish nn endowment for his daugh ters, he can avail himself of a method whereby such endowment will become due. Iu short, there are, in the very numerous aud valuable developments of life insurance, safeguards agaiuM disaster to children and widows, and means by which many benefits can be realized even during the lilu or the insured. Of the manner in which, tho great trutU3 and benefits of insurance shall be best made known, much may be said. There are many agents, but how are thsy selected, and how many of them are zealous iu tho representa tion of their principals ? Thre are proapeo tuses, but how much ability do they display in Betting forth reasons for insuring and tho dangers of negleotiug it 1 There is some ad vertising, but how much of it is striking hnd effective? And then the cry of insurance ii unfamiliar to a large proportion of society. It is not seen that a thousand men may combine to pay a Bum yearly, or at phorter periods, towards a fund out of which the survivors of each member may at his death bd pid a oer tain fixed sum; nor that tho number who will die is fixed by the law of averages so that a strict calculation bo large enough. Many people who now regard an insurance company as they would a merely speculative corpora tion, which may deceive them or fail, would, if they know how certain the results of insu rance arq, and that there is no speculation in it, have the faith which would attract them to its doors. This popular education may be ex tended very much, and should be. " We should like to see balance-sheets with statements plain and easily followed, and that companies endeavor to gain customers by offering to the public some training by which their soundness may be proved, and their liberality explained. Whether the Chamber contemplate thU kind of work, we do not know. But would it not be well if they iudaced a combined effort to raise the business into more prominence than it enjoys at present ? There is nothing to pre vent the compilation of nn inexpensive manual which all the offices could circulate, for in stance. The table before us does not contain the kind of information which is most useful to them, or those whose support they endeavor to pain. The information that would be useful should be within reach of the Chamber, and mny be presented in Buch form that readers will be attracted, and business consequently increased.' Mexico Iltr Political Rlemeuti Settling Duwu, From the JV. Y. Herald. The political elements iu Mexico, if we may judge from our correspondence, are settling into quiet. From Vera Cruz, from the city of Mexico and from the Rio Grande, our news is that there is a good prospect of an era of peace and prosperity for that war-ridden land. If the French intervention gave no other benefit, it at least united nearly all the oppos ing factions for four years into a common cause, and taught them to forget political, feudal, and personal differences. The Mexi cans have awakened, too, to the idea that the United States can no 1 nger wait for them. They must take pp their republican march with tis, advance with us, drink in the energy of Western enterprise with us, inaugurate an era of prosperity and progress, or they must sink before the nation which cannot afford to drag them along. Their geographical position , is such that the two nations must work in unity. Tho. same great principles, internal, external, and commercial, must govern both. If the Mexicans fail to appreciate these facts, they will go down before the steady westward march of the North American. Adopting these truths as a political guide, they may preserve their territory intact, rise to a glori ous future, and save us the work of building up a nationality there which will harmonize with us. The United States has her eyes on the continent. Spanish America must wheel into line. There is a marked spirit of concession in the Liberal leaders of Mexico, which gives hope of national stability. General Diaz, the first military man of the couutry, absolutely refuses to leDd himself to any opposition to Pres-ideut Juarez. In fact, General Diaz looks upon the President as a father, for he was educated under his ej'e, being a student at Oajaca, in the college of which Juarez was principal. Escobedo, too, having cleared him self Irom the foul forgeries which the Mata- moras lianchtro prefixed to his name, is in full support of Juarez, and will in Northern Mexico keep down any of the disturbing ele ments that may oppose the coming Presiden tial election. Juarez will undoubtedly be re elected. In one sense this is necessary, that the Mexican people may show to Europe aud the wo i Id that thev endorse the acts of their President, and that he has ever been their I choice, notwithstanding the statements of he friends and instigators of the empire. Ot the sentiments of President Juarez and his good-will towards the United States, we cannot find a better illustration than iu the letter to his friend, Autouio Fiores. In this he says: "flty solo ambition is peace tor Mexico aud prosperity lor her people. It. matters not u me to wottl patriot hands Its destinies are collided. h that, our beloved unci ntjloi iuoule nation Is happy. Extremely noxious us I am to return to private lilo, 1 Klinil shrink from no liuty cju Ilued to mo by u brave and suii'iiluj; people. ill o "I Hill hear of disseii' ions on ttie northern frontier.

Let Mexico live up to these ideas enunciated by her great President, and there is every thing that she can hope for iu store for her. She has now a chance to prove if she can govern herself; but we counsel her to remem ber that she is in contact with the United States, and must infuse into herself all those elements of national activity which animate and give us such a wonderful development. There must be no narrow Spanish ideas iu her government. A broad, open policy, a general breaking down. of the exclusive bar riers which hedge her iu, will save her. This must be her guide, or as a separate nation she i3 lost. Around Juarez have crystallized all tho poli tical elements in tho country, and the people of Mexico look to him, as we looked to Lin coln, as a political savior, lie has, a3 the Mexican leader, finally disposed of the party which has no longer any power to continue 'the revolutions which they have carried on lor forty years. Our duty in the case is clear. Give the Mexicans a chance, and should they then fail they will force themselves into the United States, even were we disposed to pre vent it. 1 He liecoiiBtrut'tion Generals at YVnsti lui;luit. From the Y. IleruUl. The pi eseuce'of Generals Sheridan, Sickles, and Hancock in Washington, In obedience to a call from General Grant, puzzles the politi cians. Tho radicals, however, think it a good sign, while the Copperheads are apprehensive of mischief from it, in widening tho breach between them and General Grant. We dare gay, however, that the General-in-Chief, charged with the practical direction ot all this business of Southern reconstruction, has sim ply called those subordinate Generals to Wash ington to give him all the information which they possess on the subject, aud that in the iutervul to the reassembling of Congress the work will go on quietly iu tho South, and that, with the meeting of the two houses, General Grant will submit to them a report on the progress of reconstruction which will be satisfactory to the country, though not, per haps, entirely satisfactory to the impeachment radicals. The Next Pmldiucy la m. Commercial Vriw. . From the 2V. Y. Wald. The London Times, in a labored exposition of the present aspects of the conflict between our President and Congress, comes at last to the conclusion that as the success of the Republican party in the approaching Presiden tial. election is a sure thing, "the final choioe of candidates will be a matter of scarcely less interest here (in England) than on the other bide of the Atlantic;" and that "the soouer the country is completely settled the bdtter it will be for the rest of the world, if only for com mercial considerations." Now, while these "commercial considerations" are well put, inasmuch as the delay of settlement of this work of reconstruction involves to the United States a commercial loss or gain of some two or three hundred millions a year, our English contemporary is, perhaps, a little too fast in assuming that our coming Presidential election is a sure thing for the Kepublican party as it now stands. The approaching State elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York may upset all the present calculations of the radi cal politicians, including Mr. Chase, his finan cial system and his leading political ideas of universal negro suffrage and negro supremacy in the South. Lightening the Ship. F om the A". Y. World. The Republicans are acting like mariners in a heavy tempest, who pitch overboard a great part of their cargo to save the ship and crew. The first bale of freight tumbled into the sea was the liquor law in Massachusetts. All the prohibitory laws in that State have been Re publican measures, advocated by Republican popers and stump-speakers, passed by Repub lican legislatures, executed by Republijau constables, and opposed by Democratic speeches, votes, law-suits, invective, and ridi cule. But the Republican State Convention; warned by the sudden fall of the barometer, have declared that the Republican party must not be considered responsible for the liquor law; trying to save their ship by heaving it over, with some dim hope that it will lloat of itself. The next valuable piece of freight that is to be ilnng into the devouring waves is the Con stitutional Convention of this State. The calling of the Convention was a Republican movement. No Democrat desired or favored it. But since the Maine and California elec tions, the Convention is seen to be too heavy for the Republican ship, and although it has let n decided by a caucus not to sacrifice it, it is nevertheless certain to go. The vessel careens so dangerously when this heavy in cumbrance is carried to the edge of the deck, that there is nearly as much peril in casting it over as keeping it on board; but over it will go, even if at the stern. It is a load the Re publican party cannot carry in the present emergency. Even that precious part of the cargo, negro suffrage in this State, must go where Jonah went in the voyage to Ninevah ; but it is doubtful if any compassionate monster will give it a subaqueous passage and vomit it np on dry land. It may be said that negro suf frage will be necessarily lost with the failure of the Convention. But this is not so. The artiiile containing it was long ago completed, and the Democrats will generously propose to submit it at once, as a separate amendment. In the stress of political weather the Republi cans will not dare to do this, so urgent i3 their necessity of lightening the ship. They will, ol course, contrive all sorts of plausible excuses; but whatever may be their excuses for not submitting it, the real reason will be that they are scared by the certainty of its defeat. The impeachment of President Johnson is another part or the Kepublican cargo that is destined to go overboard. Although the Pre sident has more boldly confronted aud defied them since Congress adjourned than ever before, we shall hear little more about his inp peathment, and that little will be fainter and lainter. J he party is getting seriously alarmed, and the more discreet of its journals are warn ing and exhorting it against raising or reviving any issues On which, the party is not a unit All such warnings are, of course, signal-guns ot distress. About the Mormons, From V.e K. Y. World. The telegraphic news which reaches us from Utah is often startling but seldom trust worthy. One time we are told that the "Saints" were at loggerheads, and a number of them had been read out of the Mormon Church by Brigham Young himself. Subse quent accounts by mail failed to oonftrtn the Btory. On Friday last another story was telegraphed, equally startling and, as we have no doubt the event will prove, equally un truthful. It was to the effect that the Mor mon elders were making speeches stirring up sedition, and boasting that they would not obey the laws of Congress. These stories, of course, come irom the "tientiles, who, living among the Mormons, and not admitted to their social life, hate the "Saints" intensely. It is from this adverse and angry minority that the people or the couutry get their ltn pi'essions of the Mormons. Some time or other this Mormon question will come up lor settlement, and it is, there fore, desirable that the public mind should not be bedeviled by the inventions of their per sonsl enemies. Leaving out of view polyeamy. the leaders of this strange sect must be credited with some good and even wonderful exploits. 1 hey have taKen the most degraded popula tion of Great Britain, the Welch miners and English laborers, have trained them into ways of thiift,sobriety,cleanliness,and a certain kiud of intelligence. They have literally changed a desert into a garden, and soon an opulent State will appear in what but a few years since was a howling wilderness, lor the pre sent we ought to let the Mormons alone They are helping to populate a thinly settled section with hard-working and intelligently directed people. We can safely trust to time and a sufficiently large Gentile population to rid us of polygamy; but in the interim let us close our ears against the stories of their per sonal enemies.
