Looib, Oct. 19,1867. We hare just passed through another dull and trying 'week. We hare no' better or. more favorable report to make in monetary affair*. The money market is as tight ssever, and no very flattering prospects for a let np In financial matters. Everybody is « hard up ” and the pres sore seems to gain more weight every day ; who will be able to withstand it, is hard to tell. We have heard of none of our business men or merchants failing or suspend ing, notwithstanding many rumors have been put afloat that some of them have fallen under the pressure. It is true a few of them have suffered themselves to go to pro test—unwilling to stand the exhorbitant shave on their currency, of which they have plenty, but which will not be received in payment for notes. There will be muchmoreof thin done, and if the currency of the country is refused which is'the Only money now to be had—the note holder will in nine cases out of ten be the loser. For the last three or four days there has been a steady ton on the Bank of the State of Missouri, but which has promptly met every demand and nobly weathered the storm, and its officers maintain that it is capable to stand any run that may be made upon it The community here are in .favor of a suspension of specie payment, and are en deavoring to persuade the officers of the Bank that It is their duty to do so; but up to the present time the officers have not favored their proposition, and continued payment Iq specie up to closing hours on Saturday. Nearly every day they kept open from one to two hours over their usual time to accommodate those who were afraid of the safety of their gold and silver! Whether the Bank will suspend, by the urgent request and desire of a large number of oar merchants and business men, is yet tabe seen—they main tain that they are strong enough in this trying emergency, whilst the people call aloud for suspension —deeming it practicable for the benefit of tbe whole community. Tbore is nothingdoinginexchange—thoseof onr citizens who owe debts in the East, and had the means of payment, have been obliged to ship coin by express to meet their obligations. The Kentucky banks are awaiting the action of the Louisiana banks—if they suspend, tbe Kentucky banks will, follow suit. The Tennessee banks have suspended. The only money which we have here of any considerable amount, is-Illinois *urrency —some take it in exchange for goods, whilst others refuse it altogether. Tbe times aro truly bard. Since the commencement of tho panic there hove not been less than 8,000 persons thrown out of employment in this city—not a day passes but that we hear of a dozen or more In our locality being discharged. What will be the ultimate consequences of this panic is yet to be seen. There will be thousands of persona out of employment the whole winter, and how are they to obtain the necessaries of lift-? As is to be expected, our produce market is dull, and every branch of trade is completely prostrated. The last sales made were—Flour, extra, $5 75; Wheat, from 55c to $1 02; Corn, 55. 58 aud 60c; Oats, from 36 to 40c; Barley, 7ftc; Rye 55 to 60c; Potatoes, from 40 to 50c; Whiskey, 16tol7V*> currency; Hides, 9@10; in other articles no galas. The rivers continue low. The health of the city is good. Mr. Isaac J. Cooper, a clerk committed suicide by blow ing out his brains with a pistol, in the early part of last week. Ho was a married man aud leaves a wife and several children to deplore his loss. No cause is given for the rash act. Morris B. Johnson, a printer, said to be from Harrisburg, Pa., came to his death on Friday, the 16th, in the following manuer: He complained of tho toothache, aud chloroform was recommended —bo procured some, and put it on a handkerchief, placing it to his face, laid himself on a bed, ami in a few minutes fell asl-ep, from which he never awoke. He had beeu married but a fbw months.since.— His lemaius w«ro interred yosterday, followed to their last resting place by the members of the ‘“Printer’s Uuion” and a large coucourso of friends and admirers. He was a sober, industrious young man of 22 years of age. - There have been three deaths iu the Calaboose in tbe past week. A young roan named John V. Boone, was killed last week by falling in front of a car on the Terre Haute lUil- A much respected citizen namod Lawrence was run over by tho Steam Fire Engine, and after suffering some hours, died from the injuries. He leaves a wife and two children. He was a workman in a plnniug mill in this city. Dr. Ja cob Leidy, formerly of Pennsylvania, died in Quincy, 111., on tho 7th inst., in tho 63d year of his age. Wo believe he was.from Wilkosbarre. A prisoner in the workhouse, named Jack Smith, was shot dead a few days ago, in endeavoring to escape. A murder was committed in Illinoistown, opposite our city, on Friday last. Tbe parties were negroes; one named Hart held another named Webb, while a negress—Adeluide Livingston—cut him in tho abdomen with a butcher knife, tho man expiring in a few minutes. The murderers have boeD arrested and confined in the Belloville (111.) jail. Charles Chouness, an Englishman, an engraver by trade, committed suicide by banging himself at the City Hospital. James Buchanan (!) was arrested in this city a day or ttfo since for stealing lead! < Confidence has truly been much abused, and what next will these “ hard times” force men to do? There wero forty-seven admissions into tbe City Hospital last week, and twenty-seven into the Marine Hospital. There wore 3,620 cords of vrood measured on our wharf during the month of September, on which the feos collected amounted to $l7O 85. Of lumber, 1,‘263,380 feet, QDd 606,- 000 shingles. There have been guaged during the month of September, 14,554 barrels of whiskey ; 556 do. molasses; 379 do. oil; 320 do. turpentine; 18 do. alcohol; 25 do. "vinegar; 17 do. brandy ; G do. wipe, and 1081 empty pack > ages. Tho Inspector of Buildings and Fires makes the following semi-annual report to the City Council: The total number of buildingß erected, and now in course of construction, during the six months ending October 13tb, 1857, are 280. Of these, there were constructed of brick, 198; of brick and stone, 43 ; and of wood, 39. The classification as to the height of the buildlngß is as follows : One story, IS; odo story and basement, 22; two stories, 47 ; two 6tories and basement, 85 ; three and four stories, 68; five and six stories, 40. The aggregate estimated cost of these buildings is $1,588,333, averaging about $3,672 each. The total number of fires and false alarms of fires, amount of loss by fires, amount ot property destroyed, amount of loss over insurance, during the same period, iB as follows : Total n umber of fires, 57 ; false alarms, 34; alarms by burn ing chimneys, 8; alarms caused by fires outside of the city limits, 6; alarms from other causes, 21 ; total number of alarms and fires, 126. Loss by fires duriDg tho same period, $594,105; insurance upon the same, $358,540; loss over in6urauce, $235,565. The majority of the fires were caused by accident. The following are the distinguished arrivals in this city for the week: Gen. Harney, U. S. A., and Major Pleasan ton, of his staff; Lieut. Col. Parker, Capt. Geo. Gibson, Lieut. W. Whipple, and Hr. Sutherland, U. S. A., from New-Mexico; Col. Stewart, Governor elect, and Ilancock Jackson, the acting Governor of Missouri, Hon. James 8. Green, and Geo. N. Saunders, Esqrs., Navy Agont at New York. A letter is detained in our post office for non payment of postage, addressed to J. Phelan, Waynesburg, Pa. We had a visit on Thursday last from Mr. Patrick Don nelly, formerly of Lancaster, Mr. D. has been travelling through the Western country for the past three or four months, and the trip, judging from his appearance, has agreed wonderfully with him. Miss Eliza Logan fulfilled a very successful engagement at Wood’s Theatre. Mr. Couldock played to large audiences in that bouse last week. Mr. Edwin Booth commences an engagement to-night. Miss Matilda Heron has been run ning “ Camille “In tho ground at the St. Louis Theatre. A collision between the steamers Ben Carson and Key City, occurred on tbe upper Mississippi, by which fifteen deck passengers were drowned. The Ben Carson sunk in fifteen feet of water, and is considered a total loss. The steamer Arkansas Traveller sunk at Grand Chain. Her freight consisted chiefly of potatoes for New Orleans. The notes of the following Illinois banks are not received In this city : Bellville Bank; Bank of Chester; Stock Secu rity Bank; Corn Exchange Bank; Bank of Pike County and the Bank of Elgin. POLITICAL Pennsylvania —The telegraph has not been in good work ing order during tho week, caused no doubt, by the heavy Democratic majorities sent over it. We have received very few returns from Pennsylvania, but we have heard enough to satisfy ourselves that the “old Keystone” has nobly doue her duty. The returns from Philadelphia. Lancaster, and Pittsburg—the centre and the extremes of the State, settle the matter in our mind that the Democratic party have again triumphed by an overwhelming majority. We .feel proud of the result, and wish we were close enough to “ touch off” the little cannon. Ohio. —Our party has fought a good fight in Ohio, and the returns which we have received here, show a Demo cratic gain oflO,ooo since the Presidential election. The latent accounts from there indicate the success of Payne over Chase for Governor, but we think Chase will be the winner* It would bo too much to expect of our friends in Ohio to break down in one year such great odds. We will take them at the next election. The Legislature of Ohio Is undoubtedly Democratic, which is glory euough for one day. lowa —The reports from lowa are vsry cheering—in 40 counties the Democrats have gaiued over 6000, and they have but 2000 more to overcome, which the Democracy of that State say they can do. 'Whether they can or not. they have done well. Our opinion is that they have carried the Statt—the Legislature without a doubt. Mississippi.— The result in this State has been the com plete triumph of the Democracy, electing their Governor by a largely increased majority, all tho members of Co ti gress, the State Legislature, <£c. James W. McDonald, editor of tho Natchtz (Miss.) Fret Trader, has been elected representative to the Legislature. It is the first time a Democrat has ever been elected from the city of Natchez. Tennessee.— Harris, the Democratic candidate for Gover nor, has an official majority of 11,352. Indiana. —Judge Niblack, Democrat, has been elected to Congress from the Evansville district, a few daya since.— He fills the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Lock hart. Gwyn, Democrat, has been elocted Recorder of Floyd connty by ten majority Over hia Know Nothing competitor, and Green H. Field (Dem.) has been elocted Commissioner for the same county. Jfmnuota.—Returns from this territory indicate the election of Ramsey (Rep.) Governor, and the whole Ropub-. llcan ticket is probably elected —Legislature and all. _ Kansas. —Additional returns makes Parrot’s majority about 5000, but both parties claim tho Legislature. One report divides the parties thus—House—Free State, 23; Democratic, 16. Council has a small majority of Free State. JVeto Mexico.— Otero has been elected Delegate to. Con gresss over Baird by above 3,000 majority. The Democrats have almost unanimously carried the Legislative ticket. We have beard nothing more of the earthquake except from places where the shock was felt. - The weather has turned quite cold—fires have been sought, and when found felt very comfortable. We had a very heavy frost in this locality on Wednesday night last, and another on Saturday night. The farmers, we believe, are ready to receive “ Mr. Jack Frost ” at his earliest con venience. Yours, [From the Detroit Daily Advertiser.] Horrible Murder at Fentonville. Two Persons Killed and Others not Expected A gentleman, named Johnson, recently moved to Fentonville, with his family, consist ing of a wife and three children —the oWsst of tbe latter but eight years of age. Not having got all his beds u|>, the wife remained at the hotel over night, while Mr. Johnson went to his house with the children, and was accom panied by a boy named George Colwell, about seventeen years old. About eight o'clock in evening, two young men came in, asking for Mr. Johnson, sayiqg that they were going to his father's house, a short distance from there On receiving a very pressing invitation, they consented to remain over night, and go*with him in tbe morning to see the old gentleman. Mi. Johnson that night slept in a bed with his two small girls ; the little boy slept with. Colwell, and the young men had a bed made upon tbe floor, between tbe other beds. During the night Mr. Johnson heard one of his girls cry out “Pa 1” and at the same time received a blow on the side of his head. He was partially stunned, and the next he remem bered he was running after a man who was attempting to escape by the door. The man turned again and struck at him with the same instrument. Mr. J. followed the fellow for some distance without being able to overtake him, and therefore returned to his house. On entering the room where he had been sleeping, a horrible sight met his eyes—one of the little girls and the Colwell boy lay dead before him, and the other little girl aud boy insensible from the effects of their injuries! The agonized father screamed ‘'murder!’' and called in the neighbors. Several caihe in, and on examina tion, the following particulars were disclosed : The first body examined was that of young Colwell. He had received a blow, apparently from an axe. His skull was split entirely open, and his brains had all run out. The little boy who lay beside Colwell had been struck twice in the head, by an axe or hatchet, and another in the abdomen. One of the little girls who slept with her father,' had received several wounds in the head and body from a similar instrument. She was dead.— The other girl had a cut in the head, appar ently from a slanting blow from the axe, which i had taken off a portion of the scalp. The | father himself had received two blows on the top of the head, and a severe cut inside o( his | hand. The little girl is doing well ; the boy was not expected to recover. Suspicion rests upon two young fellows who had recently had some difficulty about some gambling opera tions. Mr. Johnson had about $4OO, and it is supposed that they were aware of it, and took this means of gaining possession of it, killing the children, that there should be no evidence against them. The whole tragedy is one of the most cold blooded we have ever heard of, and the perpetrators deserve no mercy if proved to be guilty. The Difference. —The Philadelphia Ledger, in showing up the bright side of the financial trouble, says: There is this important difference in the sus pension of specie payments by the banks now and in 1837: Then the rate ofsterlingexchange was 20 a 22 per cent, premium. Coin was ship ped out of the country by millions of dollars, all business was utterly prostrated, and so con tinued until the rate of exchange was reduced so low as to render coin shipments unprofitable- It eventually, and months before resumption, got below par, and coin in small amounts came to this country. Now, at tbe very time of the present suspension, the rate of sterling ex change is below par, and coin is coming from England here by almost every arrival. The country is also well filled with foreig imports, so that there exists no necessity for any very heavy importations ; we have also, of all the principal staples, a great abundance, ready to go forward at the first intimation of a demand for them, both fact 9 guaranteeing to some extent that the balance of trade will continue for some considerable time in our favor. In these res pects the present suspension more favors an early resumption than did that of 1837. Then it required some considerable time to come down to a starting point upward, as regards the foreign exchanges. Now, in our foreign financial relations, we stand all right. There is nothing to fear in that quarter. The ques tion of a resumption, therefore, resolves itself into one of a purely domestic character. It is simply a matter of adjournment of liabilities among ourselves, and while we fear a length ened depression of all business, we hope for an early resumption, and believe that through it come the earliest relief from our present em barrassments. With economy and a will on the part of each individual to throw off our present insolvency, much may be accomplished and in shorter time than is generally believed. Mr. Banks on the Financial Question. — The Honorable Mr. Banks, in his speech at Faneuil Hall, Thursday night, was quite oracular upon the causes of the financial crisis which has rendered bo many of the banks N. P. Banks (non-paying banks.) In the first place, if Mr. Guthrie’s plan of a Tariff had been adopted, the crisis would not have come. In the Becond place, if the late modification of the tariff had been effected a year earlier, the crisis would have been averted. In the third place, if the crops at the west had been forwarded to the seaboard a few weeks before they were harvested, we should have had no financial crisis. He might have added, by way of illustra tion, that if the dog had not stopped, he would have caught the rabbit. But finally, Mr. Banks attributes all our financial troubles to the discussion of the sla very question in Congress, which was gotten up and carried on perseveringly by his own party when they should have been paying their attention to the material interests of their constituents. —Boston Herald. ' John Randolph and the Times. All the financial revolutions of the country have been similar in character, though not always the same in power. The suspension of 1817, was produced by the same causes which produced the present financial crisis. “ The evil of the times,” says Mr. Randolph, an eccentric but sagacious and able statesman, in a memorable speech in Congress, when the proposition of establishing a national bank as a remedy for the financial distress then expe rienced was before that body, “ The evil of the times was a spirit engendered in this republic, fatal to republican principles, fatal to republican virtue ; a spirit to live by any means but those of honest industry; a spirit of profusion; in other words, the spirit ofCataline himself, alieniavidus,suiprofusus; a spirit of expediency not only,'in public, but in private life; the system of Diddler in the farce —living any way and well, wearing an expensive coat and drinking the finest wines, at anybody's expense.” Things will always be as above described until the temptation is removed. What would Randolph say if he were now living, to the U sui profusus” spirit of the age of 1857 ? Great Fire in Chicago, and Loss of Life. — A very destructive conflagration visited, the city of Chicago last Monday week. The loss amounts to nearly $700,000. The following are the names of the principal losers, and the sums of tfcfeir losses : Cornick &Co., hardware merchants, $40,000 ; Fritzworth & Co-, cloth ing, $40,000 ; J. H. Dunham, $25,000: Mr. Sbay, dry goods merchant, $130,000 ; Cook & Co., booksellers, $130,000; Edward Hempstead grocer, $40,000, and Lewis & Page, oil store, $70,000. The Insurance amounts to about $300,000. The origin of the first is not known. Twelve persons were killed by the falling of the walls of burning buildings. Washington, Oct. 23. —According to the Treasurer's statement, by returns received to the 19th inst., the amount in the different depositories is over $13,500,000. The amount subject to draft is $10,632,555. The amount of receipts for the week ending on that day was only $443,380. New York, Oct. 23.—The Metropolitan Bank is said to have discounted to day, all the paper that was offered. As a general thing, however, money was as tight as at any time during the week. It is stated by the Express, on the authority of private advices, that the English underwri ters had declined to insure any more specie on board the steamer Persia. It is also stated that the Persia, and the Bteamer sailing on the 24th of October, would have one million ster ling. The same authority states that the Bank of England has notified the bill brokers that they should discount nothißg having over thirty days to run. Cincinnati, Oct. 23.—A fire occurred to day in the State Prison, At Columbus, which destroyed the shopß at the northern end of the yard. For a time it threatened the entire destruction of the buildings. The loss is about $25,000. The fire was the work of an inoendiary. 1 OLD GUARD. to Live 7 Truly and Forcibly Expressed* The Richmond South , in the course of an elaborate article on the present financial panic makes a strong point against the North. The editor says: “ Tbe present crisiß will Bhow that the slave labor staple of the South will furnish the means of extrication from commercial indebtedness. It will show the South comparatively free from distress or embarrassment—able to ride out tbe storm which the speculation of tbe North has caused. How then can the North censure that labor.to which she will owe her commercial existence? How can she prate of her independence when, but for the aid of Southern resources, she would stand a branded bankrupt before the world ? This financial revulsion, filling her land with beggary and shame, will teach the North a lesson of com mercial mortality. It many, cause her men of capital, and her disbanded laboring thous ands, dow contemplating an approaching winter with terror, to recoil from that chasm of disunion into which such advisers and such arguments as we have referred to would drive her, with indignation and horror.” Pennsylvania. Tbe Journal of Commerce thus speaks of the tremendous defeat of the black-republican party in Pennsylvania at the late election ; •* The result of the election may be called a thorough and emphatic endorsement of Mr. Buchanan's administration, his New Haven letter, and the Dred Scott decision, and a de cided affirmation that the people of Pennsylva nia do not repent the way they voted last fall. The large democratic gain seems further to show that but for the lavish employment of the Kansas fund in the presidential election, the vote for Mr. Fremont would probably have been nearer what it now is for Wilmot, and Mr. Buchanan’s majority would have been much larger. It has been extensively believed that Pennsylvania voted for Mr. Buchanan on personal grounds, and it has even been cred ited by some that contributions were made and used to procure her suffrages for him.” St. Lodis. Oct. correspondent of the Republican mentions having recently Been Capt. Vaneliet, confidential agent of the Gov ernment, at Palmetto, Kansas, on his return from Salt Lake. He reports that the Mor mons will refuse to allow tbe United Stateß troops to enter the City. Brigham Young puhr licly declares that ho will burn the prairie* and thus deprive the animals accompanying the expedition of subsistence, and even burn his own city if necessary, before he will submit to the demands of the Government. Ihe forts along the route are in bad repair, and do not afford sufficient protection for the troops. Boston, Oct. 23. —The Democrats, at a meeting held this evening, passed resolutions laying tbe blame of the financial revolution on the Banks, and condemning paper currency altogether. The resolutions advocate the gradual abolition of all bills under ten dollars. 10,000 Patients Cured Annually by the use of Helrabold’a Genuine Preparation of Fluid Ex tract of Buchu, a most positivo and specific remedy tor distressing ailments.

CATHARTIC PILLS OPERATE by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the 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 mySAmerican 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 Costivbness. — Take one ot 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 cause of Co*tivene*s, 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 heartbimx , bodybum, and soulbum of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don't forget what cured you. For a Fori. Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of th* Bowels, which produces general depression of the spirits and had health, take from four to eight PUla ■it first, and smaller doses afterwards, until activity and strength is restored to the system. For Nbrvousnbss, Sick Hbadache, Nausea, Pnin in the Stomach , Back, or Side, take from four to eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oper ate 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. Foe Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all Disease* 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 Pills, ana 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 skin, 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 of incurable diseases will be swept out of the system 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 Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Biliou* 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. Costireness, or alternately costiveness and diarrhcea, 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 diarrhoea, 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 all these troubles. It is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for 25 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 thev afford to the vital principal of Life. For these and all kindred complaints they should be taken k 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. Assignees. PREPARED BY DR. J. C.
