THE POSTPONED LAND SALES IN KANSAS
AND NEBRASKA.—Though the treasury would
be much relieved by sales of public lands,
the President, from a sense of justice to pre
emptors, (real -occupants,) who are unable
in these bard times to "pay up" at the great
sales, has postponed such sales in Kansas
and Nebraska for a year. This will be a
heavy blow to Yankee speculators,'...who, to
use the-language of one of th e
,- r own spokes
men, "have aided their friends in the sett le
ment.and occupation of town sites in Kansas
and throughout-the whole. Northwest, and
who in return, have-taken :such; conveyances
as they were able to give-of interests in their
settlements." •• Precious admissidh r thy
men ofNew England!! who, 'in . the enjoy
ment of bank facilities, have lent to their
friends.poper :money at five per cent a mouth
upon the security of pre-emption rightsl—
men, indeed ! But how does the
"settler" find himself fixed? The times have
been hard, and he has not money enough to
buy in his right.at the government price.—
But if he had, he falls into the hands of the
worthy five per-cent-a-month friend from
New England, who, with his claim of princi
pal and accumulated interest:, secures within
his own relentless grasp both lands and im
provements—the results of years of labor and
privation. Nothing but a general bankrupt,
law can avert such a result all over the North
west.— Washington corre.spondent ( I f the Bal

lf UNITY IN TOSYNS FROM INJURY LIGHT-
N ING.—One of the most remarkable facts re
corded by M. Boudin is the imniunity which
towns, especially the larger and more popu
lous one.-senjoy from accident to life by light
ning. Thus between 1800 and 1851, not a
single death was recorded from this cause in
Paris: and in 1780 it was calculated that out
of, 750,000 deaths in London during thirty
years only two had been produced by light
ning. annparing these numbers with the
total number,of deaths from .this cause, and
with the fact that twenty-five per cent. hap
pen under trees, he holds it reasonable to con
clude " that lightning finds more victims in
the open country than in cities!' The annu
al average number of deaths by lightnino• h in
France, from 1835 to 1852, inclusive, was 72.
In 1835 there were 111.
PE:sZNSYLVANI.I. itAILROAD.—Some idea may
be formed of the magnitude of this work from
the following facts, furnished to the Harris
burg Patriot by Gee. C. Franciscus, Esq.,
Superintendent of the Philadelphia division.
He says that 4,200 men are now in the ser
vice of the company. The shops at Philadel
phia, Columbia, Ilarrisburg, Mifflin, Altoona,
Conemaugh and Pittsburgh employ 2,000 of
these, and the remainder are distributed
along• the - line—on the trains, &c. 679 miles
of track are owned by this company. Of
this, 355 miles are main track, 268 miles are
second track and 56 miles a:re sidelings. The
receipts per mile are. greater than on any
othefroad in the country, the gross receipts
being leSs only 'than those of: the New York
Central, which is using 600 miles of main .
track daily. '
The bank of Memphis : was blown up
by gas on the Gth inst. The Memphis La
ger says: ,"The gas:burner in the iron vault
was left burning. As soonas the atmospheric
air within was'consumed,'(the oxygen it ,
con
tains,) .the burner - went out. When 'Mr.
Roach opened the vault, and lighted a match
inside, the gas, having filled
,the vault,' at
once exploded, sending him and • Mr. Gille
hind, with great violence to the front end of
the room, bursting out the front doors, which
had wit been opened, and also breaking the'
heavy oaken back, door into fragments, which
strange to tell, is immediately behind the
vault. ' The vatilt itself is uninjured.

Artificial Scarcity of Money.
[From the PhiladelpLia. National Argus.]
We frequently hear the important question
asked, " What makes money so scarce when
there is such a superabundance. of it in the
country ?" We answer unhesitatingly, the
cormorants' of capital who own and control
the banks. A frightfully dangerous and per
nicious power has been, conferred upon these
soulless.corporations, that of making money
artificially plenty and artificially scarce when
ever it suits their interest, their whims or
their caprices to do so. Never was there such'
an overflowing abundance of money in the
United StateS before; never were the incor
porated shaving shops crammed to such
ie
pletion since the foundation of our govern
ment, and yet the universal cry that money
is scarce. :Manufactories have stopped run
ing, operatives have been discharged with a
winter of poverty and suffering staring them
in the face; multitudes of mechanics and -la
boring men arc out of employment., have
nothing to do, with families depending upon
their labor for support, and all this because
the swindling banks have locked up nearly
all the money in the country, and refuse to
loan a dollar, except at such times, to such
persons, and upon such conditions as their
whim or their interests dictate. And what is
the most remarkable of all, the people bear
all this insolence and injustice with the meek
and passive submissiveness of a strong ass
bending beneath a stupendous burden.
Those interested in perpetuating these in
tolerable evils, are assiduously endeavoring to
gull and mislead the people as to their cause.
They are zealously attempting to draw off
their attention from the true cause of all the
destitution and suffering which looms up with
such portentous horror bell re us, by ascribing
it to the want of a protective tariff—for the
want of protection of home industry. Yes !
It is a want of protection of home industry—
protection from the enroachments of incor
porated capital—protection from the liabili
ty of being discharged from employment
whenever the banks choose to make an arti
ficial scarcity of money, by locking it up in
their vaults. Such a kind of protection would
meet our cordial approbation and support.•—
So long as our infamous paper currency sys
tem is permitted, so long as the banks make
money plenty or scarce whenever they please,
so long will workingmen be thrown out of
employment, so long, factories will suddenly
close their doors, and so long will the whole
interests and prosperity of the country be ex
posed to constant fluctuations by the alternate
expansions and contractions of these corpora
tions without souls.
Suppose the Legislature should grant some
half a dozen bakers a chart for the avowed
purpose of making bread plenty, as banks
are now chartered to make money plenty.—
These privileged bread makers would, of
course, have a perfect monopoly of the article
of bread ; no one would be permitted to make
bread in their own houses, or to circulate bread
of their own making, on pain of being indict
-ed for counterfeiting; the chartered company
would have the privilege of making bread
plenty to be sure ; but they would also have
the privilege of making it scarce and produc
ing an artificial famine, ..vhencver they saw
fit to do so. So long as every one is perfect
ly free to make bread in their own houses, it
would be impossible to produce a scarcity
while our granaries were filled to overflowing.
But let a privileged few have a monopoly of
bread making, and they cannot only make
bread scarce whenever they please, but
charge just any enormous price for it they
choose. Nay, more—they can manufacture
it out of a compound of saw-dust and lime,
mixed with a little flour, and compel people
to pay just as much for this worthless substi
tute . for bread, as the people now do for the
worthless paper promises to pay, which the
banks now force upon the people as a sub- -
stitute for money.
Again, if every man was bis own banker,
loaned his own money, an artificial scarcity of
the article would be impossible. It might
be more plenty at some particular times than
at others, but it would always be to be had.
If A. could not loan $5OO or $5,000, B. could;
and then the loan could be obtained for a se
ries of years which would be advantageous,
instead of the sixty and ninety days which
the banks now accommodate (?) their custom
ers with—that is, if they choose to do so.
Then ,a loan made by an individual could
be renewed if the borrower was unable to
meet the demand at maturity ; now if the
creditor fails to meet his note the very day it
is payable, it is placed under protest and his
credit is ruined. It is not immeasurable sur
prising that such institutions are permitted to
exist under sanction and appproval of the
Legislature of the State? Institutions which
keep the whole community upon a see-saw—
" here we go up, up, up i " by an artificial ex
pansion of loans, and discounts, and "here
we go down, down, down," by a sudden con
traction and curtailment. Whenever you hear
the question asked, what makes money scarce
when the country is full of it, what produces
so much destitution and suffering in the
midst of such overflowing abundance of all
the fruits of the earth, what prevents the toil
er from obtaining employment, answer—the
infamous Banks, and then take your meas
ures accordingly.
Sound Doctrine.
Let every newspaper subscriber read the
following. By honest men it will be fully ap
preciated, but rogues will give it no particu
lar attention.
"What would you think of a farmer who
raised a thousand bushels of wheat, and who
should sell it to a thousand different persons
scattered all over the State; and agree to
wait a year for his pay from each of them,
and if one half of them did not pay at the
end of the year, he would give them another
bushel of wheat,, and agree to wait another
year for his pay; and thus go on year after
year? How long would such a farmer escape
bankruptcy ? Probably, not, very much
longer than publishers of newspapers who.
follow.such a practice. It costs the editor of
a weekly newspaper, as much to supply a
thousand subscribers with it for one year, as
it costs a farmer to raise a thousand bushels
of wheat. The farmer sells his grain in
bulk, and, either takes the cash or a note just
as good as cash upon delivery. The editor
cannot:sell his thousand papers in bulk.—
They are sold to a thousand different per
sons 'Hiring' in 'the different towns in the
county, .and the different' counties in the
State ; and he must wait until the end of the
year before . he can get his payment, and
then ,he .depends wholly upon the. honesty_
and responsibility of the subscribers ; for it
is impossible that he should know the char
acter of all his subscribers. It would not
pay him to 0.0 around or send around the
country or State to collect his dues. :It
would cost more than the collections would
come to."

Attempt to Escape from the Cars
[From the Pittsburg Daily True Press.]
James Moore, alias Thompson, the individ
ual charged with stealing a lot of gold and
coins from the United States Mint at Phila
delphia, when on the cars on Friday night,
en route for the East, under charge of officer
Patterson, and distant some three miles from
this city, made a bold attempt to escape.—
It appears that while the train was rounding
a curve, the prisoner informed the officer that
he wished to go to the water closet. Both
the officer and Moore started from their seats,
and the latter went in the closet, leaving the
officer a few feet in the rear, talking to a
friend. Scarcely had the prisoner entered
the apartment, than he was observed by the
officer to leap from the window. The latter
caused the conductor to stop the train, and
run back to the point where the fellow was
supposed to have taken his desperate leap,
but he was no where to be seen, and the train
passed on leaving Patterson to look after the
runaway. After walking a short distance
down the track, the prisoner was found lying
in an insensible condition, having received a
severe- cut on the back of his head, and
bruises on various parts of the body. By de
grees he recovered, and was brought to this
city on the first train coming west, when his
wounds where, dressed by a physician. Pat
terson left again with his prisoner, on Satur
day night, and will deliver him safely, no
doubt, as he is securely ironed.
Moore has been recognised by the police,
as being no other than a man named John
ston who formerly carried on a confectionary
establishment on Smithfield street, in this
city.
The Main Line.
The impression has been entertained for
years, that the Canals on the main line - of
the public works of this Commonwealth, were
unproductive, and when the Pennsylvania
Railroad became the purchaser, it was fear
ed by many of the stockholders, that the Ca
nal would be an endless bill of expense to
the Road. More recently, it has been assert
ed, that the Company would dose the Canal.
We are glad to learn that no such thing is
contemplate() • nn the c o nt ra r y , costly
improvements are progressing, and that the
working of the Canal, shows it to be hand
somely- remunerative, thus furnishing the
best evidence that it will be continued in op
eration ; for whatever pays, is rarely given
up,—Philadelphia Ledger, Sept. 9.
The Louisville Tournal tells the Op-:
position that what they want, is a rival of
the old. Whig party. It lays down a plat
form, leaving out the slavery plank, and says
that it would give the concern nationality.—
It says, that "to expect the Americans or
Whigs to support the Republican party as
uch, under its present organization, is simply
ridiculous." It asks the Republican leaders
to speedily manifest a disposition to form a
new party, by nationalizing themselves.—
This must be pleasant reading to such north
ern Whigs as think they can stand on the
Republican platform.

Thy body rests in the cold, cold grave.
And no loving form i 9 near thee:
Rut the soul passed over• death's cold stream,
With a Sat ior's love to cheer• thee.
Thou wart call.! away in the bloom of youth;
For a season thou halt left us :
But we know, full well, Thou art with him,
Who, in mercy, hath bereft us.
Thou felt not aught of death's cold arms ;
For Jesus smoothed thy pillow:
Thy light went out as dies the day,
Behind the western billow.
We would not call thee back again,
From yon bright world above us;
Mut we pray that God, our brother's God,
May still look down and love us.
We're weeping now when we think of thee,
That our tears are not all sorrow:
Fur we hope to meet thee soon again,
When shall dawn our bright to-morrow.
Then fare thee well, our dear, loved one,
Thou art happy now, forever,
And we'll hasten on to that fair land,
Where parting comes—no, never.
