Here is a synopsiss of Col. \ Novas'
The total amount of assets turned Over
by ex-Treasurer Itewle was #1,705,577 f. 4.
Of this sum 41,454,302 01 was deposited

Our State authorities-- It appears
that in the year of 1552 the Legisla
ture authorized - 1i of $1,090,0:. 0
to . meet the financial necessities of
the times, which we then very
pressing; This was found_ to be not
sufficient, and 'at the next\msion an
additional loan of $504,000 as auth
orized. The bonds of the hit issue
were dated' August 1; 1E , 5, and - were
payable ia_twerity-five years.. Will
iam Bigler was' Gcrvernor,.atid John
Bickel State Trftsurer at that time,
and all the bonds, were-,dUly , signed
by them. It turned out, that the
whole amount of money for the last
issue of $500,000 was not required,
and after $400,000 had been sold the
remaining $lOO,OOO were left in the
possession-of the Girard Bank, Phib
adelphia,.which was then the finan;
cial.agent of the State. In prooesis
of-time the State officers were chang
[ed, and no one remembered the fact
' that $lOO,OOO of regularly signed but
unissued bonds were in. existence.
They remained ,in , forgetfulness
- until within a few months, when the
Treasury Officials became aware that
they had somehow gotten into the
market, and were likely to be proseht
ed for redemptoion. On the first of
August - a number of the bonds,
amounting in value to $lB,OOO, ;sere
presented at the Treasury, they being
due and payable that day. The
question as to whether they should
,be recognized-or not was submittal
by Mr. Noyes to the Attorney Gen
eral. and that officer • has advised
their payment On the ground that
they are genuine bonds,- now in the
hands of innocent holders. .How
they ever got out of the custody of
the aank f and into .the possession,of
outside parties, is yet a deep mystery.
It is said that the bank ledger con
taining the record of bonds disposed
of under this loan has disappeared.
No coupons belonging to the - over
issue of bonds have been . • presented
for payment, and their appearance
for redemption is the first -tangible
evidence of their existence that has
come to light. . .
Tif E PAPER-MONEY PARTY.
The Trilmlie analyzes the doings
of the paper-money patty, and its
late Convention at Syracuse, after
this just fashion : .
The National Party which has just
been •formedhy subdivision . at Sara-.
case is Unanimous for reform,. Hold
ing no (4fices, its members want all
ualaries 'above $l.OOO reduced one
half; enjoying no-income to.speak of
they want an income tax; and hav
ing no bonds., they want to see every
promise of the Governmentdishonor
ed and every obligation discharged
at once by a tremepdous issue of
"absolute money ;" owning no rail
road stock ; they propose that the
'State sball , proceed to gor up
those great corporations with at de
lay ; Nssessing no hank stock, they
insist that the National Banks shall
be swept out o ", -xistence. . Having
little or no mone . with which to buy
any bonds, they dtclare that the Go,y-;
erement should* issue I.ny mote;
and-having little4o do with paying
taxes, they suggest that the State
shall establish business colleges and
abolisb convict labor, anti that there
shall -be plenty' of internal improve
ments. Finally,' having a 'natural
repugnance to physical exertioN
they want the hours of labor steadily
reduceil.it would be strange if in this
comprehensive demand' for - every
thing new under the sun, -the party
had not:asked for some things which
the people ought to have. That they
did so merely proves the difficulty of
keeping a little sense out of even such
a wild platform as this. It will be
interesting to see how many voters
'pill take there stand_ upon it this
.fall. . .

Abut tbe manner in which Abraham
Lincoln's renomination was. brouelt
about, who started the moremesst,
who accelerated it whenit was biNgim,
and who tooklbe. poll?" us of the
Republic :an party bysurprise # a
mtp &did; which . not only secured
unanimity is the desire to renominate
the Emancipator, but produced , a
ri
calry among the 'Republicans of, the
white North, East and West to ex-
hibit the most zeal in the movement
It has already been. well known that
Mr. Chase not only desired to sue-
Ceed Mr. Lincoln, but that he rnhes
itatingly began an inrigne to defeat
his second nomination. Mr. Lincoln
was apprised of this, but judiciously
abstained -from any, rupture with the
then Secretary of the Treasury. He
made no concealment of. his wish for
amity among all Republicans, that
the cause of the Union-might be Derv ,
ed before and above the mere aspira
tions of men, But Chase early and
steadily applied .his advantages, nor
was he-entirely objectionable to many
Western Republicanl, while his influ
ence in Congress was gmater than-it
bas ever been fairly represented. This
was in the winter of 1843, when. the
country was under a tension of ex
citement that drove it to its highest
pitch of political feeling. No man
could estimate the sincerity of a
friend with any certainty. • Mr. Lin
coln's Cabinet was not composed of
his personal friends, it i hming ambi
tion in it, disappointed great states
men, who felt that they ought to be
in the first instead of a second or
iubordinate place in the Government: '
At the time General Cameron was
living quietly at his country hoine,
Lothiel, near Harrisburg, taking but
little part in the intrigues of polities,
though watching the political ctiess-
board with that intense interest which
has always characterized him. Then
it was that he conceived the idea of
making a move which. would put the
renomination of Mr. Lincoln beyond
the peradventure of a doubt. In ac-'
cordanee with this idea, Gen:Came
ron dictated a letter, drawn with a
view to request Mr. Lincoln to be a
candidate for the Presidency a second
time. This letter was prepared un- 1
der the direction and dictation 'of
Gen. Cameron, and when it bad been
completed to his satisfaction, at his
instance it was signed by every Re
publimn member of the Legislature,
Speakers and Clerks.of both Houses
(all being Republicans,) and the doc
ument thus prepared. was presented
in person by Gen. Simon Cameron to
Abraham Lincoln, and the fact tele
graphed to all parts of the country.
When the announcement was made
that the Republican Majority of both
Houses of the Pennsylvania Legisla
ture had united in requesting Mr:
Lincoln to be a candidate for re-elec--
tion, it excited the wonder and alarm
-of ali Lincoln's opponents, while the
Republicans in the State Legislatures
then in session hurried forward with
similar addresses, each anxious to be
in second to Pennsylvania in offering
the highest honors of the party to
the illustrious character who after
wards
. became the, great martyr of
equal Tights and exset- justice on the
Western Continent. When Gen. Cam
eron presented the address of the
Republicans of Pennsylvania . to Mr.
Lincoln, he sagaciously regarded it
as his winning card, and accepted the
act as the most sincere evidence of
personal devotion he had• received
since he reached the White House.
It silenced all his opponents and
squelched the intrigues started for his
overthrow, and without a doubt se
cured his renomination.
"This is a fact in the political his
tory of the country never before
brought out, but it is a fact neverthel
less which can be attested by living
witnesses. It was a repetition, too,
of the political history of the coun
try, in the same body and the same
State capital, for the renomination of
an equally illustrious character.—
When Gen. Jackson's first term was
drawing--to a close there was a bitter
opposition to his renomination. M.cin
beim of-his Cabinet were in -the.
trigue. At that period a japer was.
drawn up by a number of Jackson
men in Harrisburg, Col. Samuel A.
Stambaugh taking the lead in the af
fair, and Simon. Cameron backing
and- encouraging him in the move
ment. That. letter was a request' to
Gen. Jackson - to be a candidate for
re-election. It was signed by all the
Democratic members of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature then in session, And
forwarded - to Old Hickory. As: in
the case of the letter to Mr. LiheOln,
it ended all oppOsition to Jackson's
renomination, and created a furore in
his favor which overleaped all niere
personal opposition, and bore down
into helplessness the personal in
trigues of jealous rivals to defeat the
tibiect which the people had in view.
" That Gen. Cameron's movement
through the Pennsylvania Legislature
insured Mr. Lincoln's renomination,
was admitted at the time by the,lead
ing journals of all parties in the coun
try. Mr. , Lincoln keenly felt and
cordially acknowledged the great
personal devotion thns manifested for
him, because it instantly lifted him
out of anything like a personal effort
on ,his part for the place tor a second
term, and made him, by.the united
voice of the rekesentatives of the
Republicans of the Keystone State,
the reciognized leader of National Re
publicans, andthe favorite candidate,
of its' -masses for . reeleetion... - . The
entire movement originated with
Gen. Cameron. When the letter was
proposed by him,Which the
-Republi
cans in the Legislature aterwards
signed, no human being knew of its
preparation but himself and, his sec
retary, and the first Republican who
signed. it was the first man outside
the medium-of its preposition who
had any knowledge of Its existence

LETTER.FROX SORTEERN NEVI-7011K
EDITOIIS OF REVOI:TF:II Gen :
Having spent several weeks in ; Nort ern
i New-York, it occurs to me that some ob
servations noted inight,bc of interest to
your readers.
I St. Lawrence County lies high in lati-
tude,'reaching 4.5 ,- - north: . If statements
are true there is no difficulty Pt
cold weather here at -the viva seasen
for it. It has lasen'said wane, .that start
ing from Auburn norilward. with the
theitnemeter below zero, it was found
at :;f; - - at Watertown, ad.! 4T-• below at
MoSt surely this is runuitig
-ftito the cold at a rapid rate, and yet the
fall of snow is lighter: aL.I tomequently
I obtains•inuch less depth at Potsdam and
vicinity, than in pertlons of Jefferson and
I Oswego Counties fifty or sixty miles senth.
This region is not hilly, or mountain eats
! it might be hetter to sly, as Northern
! PennsylvrMa, yet it is broken sod rugged
i ir , ntaining long•ranges of. rocky Nufts.
To the stranger these rocky mimes would
rappe-ar as.nearly worthless, but they are
0 - cry fair - pasture lands. However, like
; the sandy portions of this country, ; they
I are readily afficted by drouth. Thu lands
Tree from rock have a deep strong 8 and
-produce Well.
Dairying i the im•ncipal business with
fanners in this seetion of the country,
! and they are far from Making bays'. play
of it. Dairying is rein on a large scale in
St. Lawrence County, and sections cositig-
I noes. Cheese factories prevail to a large
extent. Retaining the milk at hoMe is
the excepdom while taking it to the fat
'tory- is the prevailing, custom. At present
t factory cheese brings - seven cents per
ponud—loWer than ever.before Since the
erection of faetories.
Minerals abound to quite an extent
I here. Iron ore - is toned inlereat
ance. There are large foundries at Syra
cuse that are supplied from this region.
In some instances lead ore is found in suf
ficient quantities to make a profitable
business in working it. , Talc is a MiLVlC
chui mine:ell of a soapy feel, (see 'Web
: ster s Dictionary for a - better delluition
than T can give). Two mines Only have
been opened, - and 'are the only- ones
known. They areill the town of howler
posSibly 100 rods apart. Mills have been
erected for grinding this mineral. When
ground it has - the appearance of white
wheat flour. It is very Inci and white. It
is said t. i a be Used for adulterating, candy.
As it is Cif a soapy feel it, is used to adul
terate soap_ It is likewise used as polish
on white„ paper. It is Said to de .mixed
with the pulp add thus applied to paper.
There is a -pulp company at Governeur.
They rend off large quantities of pulp to
the paper makers of- the different States
every year. I shall have'a specimen of
this- mineral. for my neighborS to examine
on my return home to Windam.
The frosts of last May injured the crops,
in all this region. The frosts. the
'and the drouth combined, give potatoes a
hard ri!. They very gener4y develop°
a sickly appearance. They .rilltst be a
light yiehl-at best.
Peter Bresneham this day, (Friday, Ju
ly tlilth,) suffers the penalty law'
upon the gallows at Canton, the comey
seat, for the murder of Michael Dathiee,
on Tuesday'. the :WO: - of April last. lie
has been implicated in criminal acts to
fore this Surely tlM"'"way of the trans
gressor is bird.
Let me say here, that a trip among the
Thousand Islands pays very well indeed.
'Your readers might.. as well understand
that the St. LaWienee liver is really a big
a ffair, considerable more of a coueern than
our 'own Susquehanna. The Thousand
Islands Hotel, at Alexandria Bay, is real
ly a thing stupendous. The building it
self is said to have Cost
.$400,000, and the
expense of furnishing - it must have been
immense. Directly opposite 41;e bay is
Westminster Park.. These N are new
grounds just being fitted up forvisitors.
A large boardingßall' has recently been
completed. The Tabernacle, a large build
ing for worship is to be dedicated. Wed
nesday, July :list. This park is taken in
baud by the Presbyterians. They will'
make a tine place - 4f it. - The :Thousand
, Islands Park is six miles up the •river at
the bead of ;the same Island, -is all that
.one can desire as a-phtee of resort. - These
grounds' leWe been litteih up by-the Meth
odists. The International camp-meeting
and other important gatherings are held
- here annually.
In passing down the river from Clayton
We Were taken through the Canada chan
nel: Eel's Bay was pointed' out to us.
here the water is shallow, at least sulli 7
ciently so tia admit of taking eels. Our
attention was specially to observe
what is termed "Fiddler's Point." It is
sometimes Called "Devil's Point:" This
•is named from the rush of water.agaiia - st
the point of an island, and the channel of
the river iS so suddenly compressed that
a powerful agitation of the water is con
stantly going on, .not in the form of a
• strong current, but more like a churning
agitatiou-+a sort of wheeling in together
offthe water, and !yet nqt a whirlpool:
Here the river is deep—the water abund
ant.
.Our boat paSsed quietly on near the
ed,, ,, e of these agitated waters.
It is not without suitable feelings of
diffidence that,l bete suggest that this ag- •
Rated place might . be just the spot for the
Potter -Inveistigatiug Committee.
..Now
they are subject to bills—a calm follovis
agitation and seems, to prevent headway
—then and - there they could have constant
agitation tninus the - expense of getting up
a commotion, and - since their good old nn-. cle defrays tile eXpense of their coon hunt
they could change off to . this point with
little ;or. no injury to themselves. The
country would feel satisfied - with' the
change from Atlantic City to this point,
should they thereby End the coon. And
then they would only be agitated by "the
moving of the' waters" here, while till
now they have been troubled by false tes
timony. - But I , forbear writing more. -
