Bt. Louis, Oct. 5,1857 -
We have just passed through another week of gloom
and despondency—a week in monetary affairs much worse
than the one previous- Upon the receipt of the news of
the suspension of the Philadelphia, Washingion, Baltimore,
and other Eastern Banks, it caused a great degree of appre
hension and distrust In this city, and which was greatly
increased by the dosing of the doors, on Mondy last, of the
hanking houses of Darby 4 Barksdale and John J. Anderson
4 Co., and on the day following that of Bogy 4 Miltenber
ger. We do not think, however, that there is much money
locked up In these concerns, as they were pretty thoroughly
drained out before they closed their doors. What these
houses intend to do, has not been made public, but we
understand from a private source, that one of them proposes
to its depositors an extension —to run 3,0, 9,12,15,18, 21,,
and 24 months (!)= Whether the depositors wUI come into
this arrangement is yet to be seen. It is said by some of
the “knowing ones" that all three of th.se houses are
abundantly able to meet their liabilities dollar for dollar,
this we are not prepared to believe, but hope it may bd'so.
The suspension of these private bankers caused a run
upon the banking Institutions of our city, and they all met
their checks promptly in specie funds. This run soon sub
sided, and a more cheerful tone inspired the business com.
munity. Up to Thursday night, notafailnre had occurred
among our merchants or manufacturers, but the aspect
before them was truly gloomy, and the indications were
that many of our largest business firms would be compelled
to go to “ protest." On Friday we heard rumors of several
failures and suspensions, but nothing to corroborate tbo
* facts. On Saturday morning, however, we. as well as all
our citizens were startled by an announcement iu the daily
papers of the suspension of Chouteau, Harrison 4 Valle,
one of the largest Iron firms In the country. This suspen
sion is the more serious felt from the fact that the stopping
of this house throws out of employment eight hundred and
Jiftylaborers. This firm are the owners of the Iron Moun
tain itself a mountain of wealth at any time—ami each of
the members possessed of individual wealth —they have
not been able to eßrape the general disaster. This hous**
has an abundance of “currency" to meet every aud all
demands upon it; but that would not do to preveut a sus
pension. They, like other wealthy establishments were
compelled to fall beneath the great pressure. Nearly all
our foundries, some of our mills, and many of the mauu
facturing establishments of this city, have discharged their
hauds—some in whole and seme only in part. This is a
bad state of affairs, and when or where it will end is fur
the future to determine. It is estlm ;ted that not less than
4,000 laborers have been thrown out of employment in this
city during the past week—some from failures, some horn
suspensions, others from want of work, and others for
the necessary moans to keep them for any time afloat.
About 2 o’clock on Saturday it whs announced that the
Banking House of X. W Clarke 4 Bro’s had dosed their
doors; this, as might, he expected, caused considerable
excitement among the depositors of tlmt house —it was
generally believed that this house would be the last to
“cave in." From that time up to o'clock—the time fur
closing the banks—the run upon tbo other money institu
tions of our city was renewed, and the houses and door
ways literally besieged, but all of them honored every check
which wan presented. Notono-half of the anxious and ex
cited depositors could gain admittance,;md were necessarily
compelled to wait till Monday morning. Whether tbo run
will be continued or not, we have no means of ascertaining
or whether either or any of the private banking houses
will open this nioruiDg, (our letter being dosed to meet
the mail, before bunking hours.) wo cannot say. Wo have
heard of Beveral bouses suspending ou Saturday, but as
we are not einindy convinced of the fad, we fo-hear men
tion of names, as wo do nut desire to spread that which is
not the truth —the truth is had enough iu all conscience.
What makes this panic worse, is the tact that none ot
" our banks will buy “currency” at any rate whatever, —
somo refuse to receive it on deposit at tbe owner’s own
risk, and others will not look at it on any terms. This
fadt renders it extremely bad. The butcher, baker, gro
cer, market-man, or laborer will not receive it. in exchange
for goods. The working man demands specie for his labor.
. the veudor of goods and wares demands it for all that goes
\ out of his establishment, and the fact is, nothing can be
done with “curreucy.” What, then, is to tw douc? Will
the working man support his family loafing around the
streets? How long cau he stand to do this ? 110 declare*
'"be will not work for “currency,” ami those who have plenty
of work to do, can find no one to do it unless specie funds
ara forthcoming on Saturday night—this no estab
lishment can promise.
There are some few “elmvertf” on the street buying
“ currency ”at 2ft aud oft cents discouut. Xo house cun
stand such a shave, ami many declare that sooner than
pay such a difference, they will allow their credit to suffor ;
but we think UDtler such circumstances and in the present
•tate of affairs no man’s credit will be seriously injured by
permitting his note to go to ‘‘protest’—we speak of our
Bt. Louis merchants —where they are known.
What to-day and the remainder of this week will bring
forth we are unprepared to say, but from present appear
ances we fear the fate which awaits the business corarnu-
The banks,in Louisville, Chicago and other cities have
nearly all suspended. In Illinois, the Bauk of Elgin, Bank
of Belleville, and the Pike County Bank, hare suspended.
In 'Wisconsin, the Fox Itivor Bank, Peoples’ Bank of Mil
waukie, and the Badger State Bank, have suspended. Two
hanking houses in Burlington, lowa, hare also suspended,
as also the Western Exchange, Fire and Marine Insurance
Company Bank, of Omaha City, N. T., has made a most
complete failure, and all other banks of Nebraska are in
bad repute and not touched by any one—and the probabil
ity is ail have failed ere this. A report is now in circulation
that the banks of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky have all
suspended. “Hard times,” “hard times,” is all the cry,
and wo fecr will continue to bo for Bomo time to come, un
loss “ currency l ” can in some way be made available, but
judgiDg from present appearances we can see no brighter
cloud in the distance.
We will give your readers, as far as we are informod, the
result of the panic in this city:
A.M. Waterman & Co., commission merchants, suspended.
M. Abehbeitn, fancy notions, failed and sold out.
Eddy, Jamison A Co., dry goods, protested.
Darby A Barksdale, banke.s, suspended.
John J. Anderson A Co., hankers, suspended.
Bogy A Miltenberger, bankers, suspended.
E. W. Clarke A Bro., bankers, suspended.
Chouteau, Harrison A Valle, iron, suspended.
David Amfleld, druggist, assigned.
' * Our city has presented a very lively aspect—notwith
standing the tight and pinching times in monetary affairs;
—occasioned by the thousands of strangers on a visit to
our city in attendance on the Fair, which oponod on Mon
day last, and coutinued during the week. The gates were
cloßedon Saturday night, and we are pleased to add, that
the receipts far exceeded those of last year by many thou*
sands of dollars. This was certainly one of the most
extensive Fairs ever held in the West, and everything
Imaginable was on exhibition. We have not space to go
into details, but suffice it to say that the St. Louis “ Me
chanical and Agricultural Fair ” came fully up to the
expectations of all interested, and the decisions of the
judges iu the awarding of premiums gave pretty goner.il
satisfaction. The amount received at the gates has not
been ascertained. There wll be an auction on the grounds
for several days. *
The produce market is greatly depressed and entirely un
settled by the present scarcity of money and the deranged
" condition of the money market. Purchases are made only
for immediate and pressing wants. It is a difficult matter
to make sales for cash, and the most of the transactions ou
’Change are based on time or currency payments. Priceß
of produce have mostly declined largely, and in provisions
and groceries business is quite limited and mostly at pre
vious quotations.
The weather has been fair and pleasant iu the past three
days, but the rivers are all low and falling. The low stage
of water below this city (six feet,) caused a further advance
in freight to New Orleans, on Tuesday—Flour to 50c, Whis
key to $1 ; heavy weight freight 30c, light do. 33
@3sc 100 lbs.
Receipts of produce were almost nothing, yesterday, and
business on ’Change was to & trifling extent.
1 Our latest advices from New Orleans are to the 28th,
when Flour was quoted at $5 75@6; red Wheat 10c; Coffee
declined ; Oats 45@46c.
.. - The excitement In monetary affairs, and the great crowds
citizens daily visiting the Fair grounds, havo ren
dered local matters a nonentity—not a single item worthy
of report has transpired during the whole week.
We had a visit, on Thursday last, from our friend Dr.
N. B. Wolfe. The Doctor appears to havo beoo residiug in
a country where good.living prevails, if we should judge
from his present robust appearance. He intends to locate
permanently in this city, where we are coufidont he will
do well, and soon be surrounded with a host of admiring
friends.
Dr. Bauman, of NefTsville, Lancaster county, was in our
city a few day# since, making arrangements for a series of
concerts In the early part of next month. We tindorstand
that he is to bring Miss Kate Dean, a beautiful and fasci
nating young lady, possessing uuusual vocal abilities, to
this city. She is to make her debut shortly in New York,
and from thenco.to St. Louis. Merit is always rewarded
In this city, and we predict crowded houses for Miss Dean
if she only comes half way up to what Ik said of her.
Col. Hostetler was in town « few days ago. The Col. may
now be regarded as a Western man.
Notwithstanding all is quiet in Kansas the “sb Heitors ”
must manufacture something to order to suit the Black
Republicans of the Northern states—to operate in their
\ favor at the election. The last of these base attempts to
deceive the northern people, is the following dispatch sent
into all the States were elections are to co'rne of in October:
Qwndaro, K.T., October,l.
[via DOONVILLE.]
A report has reached here that about sixty persons from
Missouri are encamped on Sugar creek, in Linn county,
Kansas, tor the express purpose of voting at the coming
election. Free State men from that section came up to
Lawrence to procure arms, Ac., wherewith to defend them
selves and their suffrages. Linn county forms the Seven
teenth Assembly District, and a part of the Twelfth Council
a District, and elects two Assemblymen and votes for one
Councilman. ; In Leavenworth county but fewappreheu
slons ofan ioiasicn ore felt. Kickapco is the only poiut
about are fears as yet.
A baser Ue was never uttered. No such party has gone
from Missouri, and the author of this dispatch knows that
he Is sending falsehoods when the truth wont answer his
purpose. Voters of Pennsylvania beware of the “ ehrjek
ers.”
Pertinent Queries.— The Washington
States asks the following questions—who will
answer?
“Are the banks able to (although they do
not) pay their debts ?. or, if not now able, will
they ? and if they will, when t
Paper Currency vs. Hard Money/
•It in obvious enough, from the tone of pub*
lie sentiment, thut there is a very wholesome
revival in favorhf the old Democratic doctrine
of a metallic currency and against banks of
issue. The lessons of experience for the last
twenty vears have not been altogether thrown
away. 'Many of those who formerly scouted
the idea of having a metallic currency as chi
merical and stoutly upheld banks, have seen
cause to change their opinion, and are now
ready to co operate with those who long ago
urged that reform upon the people. Had it
been adopted in 1835, what disasters
and financial afflictions would have been saved
the country. Dearly have the public paid for
their folly in allowing their Legislatures the
power to authorize the issue of millions of
dollars of bank notes to circulate as. money,
which eventually become worthless trash upon
their hands. This has, however, not been the •
greatest of its evils. The spirit of speculation
which it has fostered, with the immense debts
that it bas entailed upon the community, and
the consequent lowering of the standard of
commercial morals, and the unfortunate ex
pansions and contractions with the artificial
raising and depreciation of prices, thatarethe
necessary concomitants of this species of cur
rency, have been the source of disasters equal
ly as great and universal. iA.ll systems of
banking having failed and pVoved unsound,
after the trials of the people
are becoming convinced that the fault is not
in th 6 particular system, but in the whole
j theory and principle of banks of issue,
j The Bigos indicate that it will be hereafter
i exceedingly difficult, if nut impossible, to pro
i cure the popular sanction to any system that
I proposes to issue bank rags as money. It will
■ be the mission of the Democratic party in the
I several States to take the lead in adopting a
! system that will dispense with the local banks
of issue, as we have dispensed with the Na
tional Bank. In the first place, n.) State
Treasury should have any connection with
hanks or brokers as places of deposit. They
should exercise the legislative power to pro
| hihit the circulation of any hills, so far as they
j have the right, of- a less denomination than
1 twenty dollars. As fast as the hanks fail, let
them wind up their affairs and charter no new
| ones to take their places. In a few years this
I policy will give us substantially a hard money
i currency, and at no distant period one entirely
jof that character. The evil has become so
i alarming and great that it cun no longer be
j tampered with. For the last twenty years the
; Democracy in most of the States have allowed
! the bank men to carry out their principles.
and a pretty state of things has been the re
suit. It is time the banner of hard money
was unfurled in all the States of the Uuion. —
Cincinnati Enquirer.
fligy Amid all the disasters that are upon
us, the markets of the world, which were 1
opened to our farmers and planters, by the
“ tariff of 1846,” are not closed. If our bread
stuffs and cotton were penned in and thrown
upon a home market exclusively, as the pro
tective tariff policy would have it, where would
we be now? If .the millions upon millions,
which these products of our soil bring in, h id
been cut off from us by the tariffites of 1840,
the crisis would not have been deferred to
this year of our Lord 1857. Tho crash has
come, not because of the tariff of 1846, but it
has couie, after being warded "ff for years by
the Democratic policy, in spite of that policy.
Any tariff, however high you may fix it—how
ever near you may bring it to a prohibitory
point—nia.y ; be rendered hugatory by the
augmentation of fictitious capital, which is
aud has been our country's bane. The lowest
possible revenue tariff, which is what we go
for, would be abundantly protective, if it were
backed by such a reform of our banking sys
tem as would bring the circulation of our
banks down as nearly as practicable to a spe
cie basis. We should then buy and sell on
equal terms with all the world.— "iork Ga

Good Thoughts well Expressed. —We find
the following in the Harrisburg Telegraph, an
opposition paper:
It is a question that should not assume a
party aspect in any degree. The present un
fortuuate derangement of the monetary and
business affairs of the country affects the whole
business community, of all parties; and if any
legislation can be devised for their relief, it
will be as much for the benefit of one party as
for another.
It is not intended or desired that the legis
lation, whatever it may be, shall be especially
for the relief of the Banks, but for the benefit
of the business community, the merchants,
the manufacturers, the mechanics, and the
thousands of hard working men who are de
pendent on the‘successful prosecution of these
various branches of business. The question
is a sacred one—one which concerns the bread
and butter of thousands of our poor and 'de
pendent people, and which appeals to the
sympathies of all good citizens.
Handsome Presents from President Bu-

Raise More Food.— -The New York post
gives some excellent “ advice to the tillers of
the soil/’ from which we take tho following
sensible and timely remarks :
The revolt in India is the- harbinger of
famine ; one hundred and eighty millions of
of human creatures will need large supplies
of food from the products of other regions.
The army of India, the transport fleet for that
army and its supplies, the necessities grow
ing out of the disturbed state of that great
English dependency, will call for much of our
surplus beef, pork and flour. The two last
named articles are the product of every year,
but beef requires years of nourishment before
it is ready for use. The wicked wanton waste
of breeding power, which is the, besetting sin
of American farmers should be stopped. lie
ought to be required ’to give an account of
himself who kills a female calf. We ought to
preserve every “ cow calf” for five years to
come. By this method we might soon have a
supply of beef, not only fur ourselves, but for
any emergency abroad.
Senator Pugh, of Ohio, in a speech the
oiher day, gave the Black Republicans a hard
blow. lie said, “ They had but one United
States House of Representatives, and even in
that one, the last two weeks was spent in
quarrelling among themselves as to who should
be expelled for obtaining the most plunder.”
At a Black Republican meeting in
Loraine county, Ohio, on the 22d ult., Mr.
Washburn gave utterance to the following:
“ If, because I stand up for the equality of the
negro socially and politically, with the white
man, they call me a negro worshipper, let them
do it. I shall persevere to the end.

J7LOKA TEMPLE ON THE liANC’R

GRKAT lIACE AGAINST TIME FOR $lO,OOO.
It has been suggested that if the committee could prevail
upon the owner of FLORA TEMPLE, to bring her to Lan
caster, to the Agricultural Fair, it would add much to the
character and interest of that occasion. Shouid 6ho come,
in all probability, she will run agaiust time for a purse,
say $lO,OOO, which, no doubt, the good people of Lancaster
county will have no difficulty in raising. Flora is now the

CATHARTIC PILLS
OPERATE by their powerful influenoe on the
internal viscera to purify tho blood and stimu
late it into healthy action. They remove the
obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other
organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular
action to health, correct, wherever they exist, such
derangements as are the first causes of disease.
An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors,
Physicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan
gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were they not
substantiated by persons of such exalted position
and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Their certificates are published in my American
Almanac, which the Agents below named are
pleased to furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Direction* for th nr use in the
complaints which they have been found to cure.
For CostxybneBB. Take one or two Pills, or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos
tiveness is frequently the aggravating cause of
Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure
of both. No person can feel well while under a
costive habit of body. Hence it should be, as it
can be, promptly relieved.
For Dyspepsia, which is sometimes the cants
of Cottivciiess, and always uncomfortable, take mild
doses from one to four to stimulate the stomach
and liver into healthy action. They will do it, and
the heartburn, bodyb'um, and soulbum of dyspepsia
will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don’t
foiget what cured you.
For a Foul Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of the
Botcels, which produces general depression of the
spirits and bad health, take from four to eight Pills
at first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity
and strength is restored to the system.
For Nervousness, Sick Headache, Nausea,
pain in the Stomach, Back, or Side , take from four
to eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oper
tite sufficiently, take more the next day until they
do. These complaints will be swept out from the
system. Don’t wear these and their kindred dis
orders because your stomach is foul.
For Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all Diseases
of the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions will gener
ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed up by
the purging and purifying effect of these Prills, and
some disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate
the whole system have completely yielded to their
influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health
Patients! your duty to society forbids that you
should parade yourself around the world covered
with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all or any
of the unclean diseases of the 6kin, because your
lystem wants cleansing.
To Purify the Blood, they are the best medi
cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely
and frequently, and the impurities which sow the
seeds 0? incurable diseases will be swept out of the
svstera like chaff before the wind. By this property
they do as much good in preventing sickness as by
the remarkable cures which they are making every
where.
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Bihotu
Affections, arise from some derangement—either
torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and render
it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the
health, and the constitution is frequently under
«mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp
tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the
bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow
into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a
long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness,. or
alternately costiveness and diarrhoea, prevails.
Feverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, weariness,
restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in
ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness;
sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the skin
and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow;
the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the touch ;
the whole system.irritable, with a tendency to fever,
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bilious
diarrhma, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three
or four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three
in the morning, and repeated a few days,will remove
the cause of afi these troubles. It is wicked to suffer
Burh pains when you can cure them for 26 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, and all Inflammatory Fe
vers, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of
these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which
they afford to the vital principal of Life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in
mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely.
As a Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to take,
and certainly none has oeen made more effectual to
the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.

C HOICK FARM LANDS FOR SALE—
The Illinois Central K. R. Company is now prepared
to soil about 1,500,000 Acres of CHOICE FARMING
LANDS in Tracts of 40 Acres and upwards, on Long
Credits, and at Low Rates of Interest.
These lands were granted by tho Government to aid in
the construction of this Road, and are among the richest
and most fertile in the world. They extend from North
East and North West, through tho middle of the State, to
the extreme South, and includo every variety ofclimato
and productions found betweon those parallels of latitude.
The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with
fine groves, and in the middle and Southern sections tim
ber predominates, alternating with boautiful prairies and
openings.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any
other part of tho country—the air is pure and bracing,
while living streamsand springs of excellent water abound.
Bituminous Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points
at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be bad at the same rate
per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds, which
can be procured for little more than the expense of trans
portation. , , , ...
The great fertility of these lands, which are a black
rich mould from two to five feet deep, and gently rolling,
—their contiguity to this Road, by which every facility is
furnished for travel and transportation, to the principal
markets North, South, East, \Vest,,aud the economy with
which they can be cultivated, render them the most valu
able Investment that can be fouud; and present the most
favorable opportunity, for persons of industrious habits
and small means, to acquire a comfortable independence In
a few years. , . . .
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in tho world—
and the facility and economy with which the products of
theso lands can be transported to that market, make them
much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, —as the additional cost of
transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter, which must
be borne by the producer, in the reduced price he receives
for his grain, Ac.
