This letter was scarcely revised, folded and seal
,
. ed, when his oncle entered - the room, which was
devoted to business. Seeing the papers scattered
on the desk, and Mr. Orton's bond and mortgage
~, laying open, he remarked! ..
4sWtll, Remota, my boy, you are looking over
the papers, axe you?" as he approached the desk
Ah Vhe 'continued, u:you have found this, have
you - This tarnal old Jackson has played hoky
with us. - -
"trow is that," inquired Henry Harcout, at the
same time directing his letter;.
Why, you see, my son, he moved the deposits
from the United States Bank, as good an institu
tion as ever was, but the old fellow thought they
wesn't safe there, so, .as I was saying, he moved
the deposits, Cad- gave them to a tarnation lot of
little, foots?, -dirty banks, and told rim to issue on
'cm, and they did, until the country was jammed
full of worthless rags. This, you observe, started
the confoundest time of speculation you everhearid
of. Why, you may think that I'm lying, but it's
God's truth that IM telling you—a little bit of
rocky, hilly,end good-for-nothing piece of groubd
sold to my certain knowledge for one thousand
dollen r and I viould notgive ooe thousand cents
for it, I xvould'nt, by goshins." .
"That is a ridiculousstate of affairs,to be sure,"
replied Henry Harcout " But you have not told
me how it has affected you." e
Why, are you blind, my good fellow Don't
yotrsee this bond and mortgage I It's not worth
the powder that would shoot it out of our old
musket."
-"To what bond and mortgage do you tefer, un
cle; you have several there?"
"To this one, my eon. This Orton bond, to be
sure. Its a gone case. l - took him to be a good
man, do you understand, arid so he was; but, as I
say, thia speculation, started by that blasted aid
Hickory, has ruined the man. Yes, completely
ruined him."
Orton--;-Orton—Orton''—mused Henry, in
low tone of voice, for the purpose of deluding Ids
uncle. "Are you acqUainted. with Mr. Orton,
uncle!"
"No.; can't sap that I know hi tirrery well, but
by reputation—he was wealthy-4 great stageown•
er—daing a fine business—very fortunate—but,as
I say, he's exploded—fairly burst'by, that burial
speculating frolick which old General Jackson set
agoin' with his , pet blnks.' Yes; it's all over
with him now."
" Are" you sure,uncle, that Mr. Orton is entirely
ruined ?" inquired our hero somewhat eagerly.
" Teal am, and that past all redemption. He
has a few lots around the outskirts of S------,--
lots, my son, which would have sold for one thou•
sand dollars a piece during the speculation ; but
you couldrrnt sell them for one hundred dollars a
piece "now•"
"Ism sorry to hear of this, uncle," replied Henry
thoughtfully.
"So am I, my son but that wont remedy the
evil. We may as well set that note on the list of
losses."
“ it is not for the losa that I am sorry, Uncle ;
that I would willingly suffer; I am sorry for Mr.
Orton's failure and destitution.”
u.Ah I you are acquainted with him, then ; a
friend of yours, I reckon ?" exclaimed the uncle,
with amazement.
"I cannot say that lam particularly acquainted
with Mr. Orton, nor could I say that be is my
friend,"for I have never seen him ; but I become
acquainted withihis son and daugbter alma eigh
teen months ego, and was very much pleased with
them.'"
Isee. I understand now. A fine girl, I
reckon: Fell a little in love, I reckon. - Like to
make a wile of her--eh ?"
4‘ Why, my good uncle, you arrive at your con
clusions with railroad speed. lam sure I said
nothing - about the young lady which would war
rant your proposing that question to me,"
"I see—l see—a little bashful,my boy," resum
ed Mr. Van Eisley, and slapping Henry gently on
the shoulder. <"
A little diffident. Don't like to
tell the state of your f e elin gs-' Willing , to , gaffer
.
- the loss of ten thousand dollars though—ehl—
most love the girl—can't be otherwise; and let me
tell you, my son, we will fix the matter at once.—
I will transfer the note to you for two thousand
dollars, and make you a present of seven thousand.
That's the way we'll Lx it."
With these remarks the old gentleman rolled out
of the room. I say idled, for this word comes
nearer the thing than' walked,' for he was short and
nationally fat. g
Henry was alone, and throwing himself on the
sofe, he fell into -a strain of meditation,- This
alters the face of affairs very much. Mr. Orton
has failed—is indebted to my uncle—has his pro.
party mortgage L How can I approach the spirit

Being satisfied with his plan, Henryllarcoutspraag
to his -feet, saying; send this letter at a

A Word to our CIO , Councils.
Gentlemen of:the Select and Common Council :
Weaddress you in behalf of the five thousand poor
laboring men, widows and children, who are now
suffering severely on account of the depreciation of
the City Scrip of Shinplasters, which were issued
under your authority. You gentlemen, passed ordi
nances, to grade and pave streets, which were for the
benefit of the large property holders. The work
men were paid, not in money, but in certificates of
debt. Or, is other words, the working men Of this
community contributed their labor in the shape of a
Icran to the city, for the benefit of the wealthy prop
erty holders. These Shinplasters, instead Or being
cancelled na they were paid to the City Treasurer
for taxes, weretn-issued time after time, until they
became a common ~ currency," not only in Pitts.
burgh, bdt throughout the surrounding country with
in one•or two hundred miles from the city.
These Shinplasters are now depreciated some 20
per cent. ; that is, the innocent holders of the trash;
the industrious mechanic, the day laborer and the
poor widow, lose the one-fifth of what they have
earned.
For the city to permit her poorest cigitens to suf
fer such a ruinous sacrifice, is disgracefel in the ex
treme.
But, we are told, the City Councils have done all
in their power to secure the holders of Scrip from
loss. This we deny, Now, what has been done t
Let us see Why in the first place, en ordinance
was passed, authorising the Sale of the city proper•
ty, payments to be made in Scrip; and giving power
to the City Treasurer to issue bonds, bearing 6 per
cent. interest, and receive therefor Scrip when pre.
seated in sums over ons kindred daUva. In the sec
ond place another ordinance was passed allowing all
the Scrip issued to bear 6 per cent. interest from the
18th of April. This, then, is the substance of what
bas been done.
Have these measures produced relief? Far from
it. The wealthy, who ca■ afford to hare their
Scrip bonded to bear interest, or have taxes to pay,
hive been' amply secured ; but the poor holders of
the Scrip, who received it in good faith in exchange
for their - toil and labor, are now suffering from the
effects of its depreciation. They cannot boy flour,
groceries 9r, marketing with this abominable 'trash,
without first going toe broker's office and suffer
abate of 20 ar 24 per cent ! Gentlemen of the
Councils, reflect upon this, and ask- yourselves is it
right. We say it is your duty to provide at once for
the security of the poor Scrip holders. How is this
to be done? you will ask. Let the city borrow at
once $50,000, and place it in the hands of the Trea
surer, with which to redeem all small sums present
ed., This„ only, will afford relief. The tale of the
City property will not put a dollar in the Treasury.
Speculators will purchase the lots, buy op Scrip at a
discount from the poor, and hand it over as pays
meat.
Our Council., the other evening, in the name of
the city, subscribed two hundred thousand dottart to
the Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad I We do not
propose to dicers a that measure now. But we
think it would be wise, at least, for the w city fath
ers v to bear in mind the old maim : Be just
before you are generous.w. The sum of $50,000
will afford itomediate relief. Each of the three
banks might be induced to loan the city $10,000;
and the balance might be obtained from individuals
whose property has bean doubled in value by the
improvements made by the Scrip issued. To adopt
our suggestions, there would probably be as neces
sity for the sale of tbe old basin lot, or any other
real estate belonging to the city. The tam of the
present year will absorb a large amount of the prem.
ant circulation ; and as there will be no attempt to
re-issue this vile w entrench , ' it will not be long
before the whole batch will be driven forever from
circulation.
The remarks we have nude, although addreued
to the Councils of Pittsburgh especially, will apply
with eettal- force to our neighbors over the river.
We earnestly hope, that at the next meeting of
Councils this quiption will be brought forward, and
decisive measures taken to redeem the lost credit of
the'city, ' Let it be 'no longer said, gentlemen of the
Councils, theta!l your legislation is for the -benefit of
the' rich. Remember the claims of the poor and

Emigration to California.
Besides the 15,000 or 20,000 who have embarked
from,thelAtliatie and Gulf ports for California, ei.
thee *round the Cape or across the isthmus, or thro'
Minicar, slarge number have taken the old route to
croSsllici Continent. A letter to the St. Louis Re_
publican from Independence, Mo., dated April 7th,
states that eleven small cotnpanies of emigrants were
then at that point, and about to commence their long
journey, viz : one from St. Louis, one from Palmyra,
Mo., three from Michigan, ail Ilona Pennsylvania,
one-front Ohio, and one from Indiana. Many com 7
panles have &ready gone forward. W should not
be 'surprised if a huge share of the emigrants should
hereafter take the same route. They will have toils
andlhardshiPs - enqugh to encounter, without doubt;
but perhaps not more, on the whole, than those who
take =ire southern routes, whether by sea or -land.

,a fraud that wai:Pratitised t`itivinti4
Irite:lasilear. He sayei-Builig last sirine:iiild
summer, letters and otherpublications were scattered
broadcast over the country, rape/eating the market
as being so thoroughly glutted with woolen goods,
that if no. more should be Imported, it long time
would be required to relieve the market from the
superabundance with which it had been flooded.—
One letter stated, substantially, that riven if Taylor
amid be elected, at least two years would be re
quired to i - elieve the country from the.immense bur
then of clothes under which it Was groaning, and
consequently the price of wool must be kept down
for that period. But as time passed on, rime began
to suggest that the vast stock in market would
prevent further importations and the market would
soon be restoreeto a healthy condition. To this
suggestion it was replied, vociferously, that the
was still inundated with floods of woollens
which were still rushing in without the least abate,
meat. The delusion was kept up till , latelast fall,
when most of the wool bad beep sacrificed. Then,
the advance in the price of goods and: the scarcity
of wool is market, exposed the deception and re
vealed the fraud. "
Major Mer. next notices the House of Perkins ✓k
Brown, of Springfield, Mass.; which detected the de
ception and warned visiol growers of it. A combi
nation by the manufacturers has been formed for
the purpose of breaking this house down. To ac
complish their purpose it is understood that time
facturers have determined not to purchase from that
house. And notwithstanding the supply of wool In
the country is Inadequate to the demand, it is be-
Raved that manufacturers and speculators are now
importing wool, rather than purchase from Perkins
& Brown, though the article could be obtained from
them on much more favorable terms.
• The writer suggests the importance of calling an
other Convention to be held in Steubenville for the
purpose of resisting the efforts of the New England
Wool manufacturers. "Among the variety of busi
ness which should be tasusacted at the proposed
Convention, I would suggest that a resolution be
unanimously adopted, declaring that the House of
Perkins& Brown / mutt and shall be sustained, atoll
haunts. This House should be sustained, bedew)
the predictions made by them in relation to the ad
vance in the pries of wool have been folly realised;
they are, therefore, entitled to the confidence of
wool growers.) ,
In the abovis statement we have the cause of the
decline in the prices of WoOl last season. So then
it was not the Tariff of , 46." The Washington
county fanners may not be swindled again.
We hope the Steubenville Convention may be
called. It will do morn good than to merely resist
the end, of the New England sharpers.

the pitioners sought to defeat the project hey so

Object of the proposed ”Canderw is info
iror of any measure which «will elevate and im
prove the rising generation, " he only wishes to be
•
assured that the establishment of a public High
School is such a measnre.: . Now an honest friend of
the people, as w Candorw undoubtedly is, only' re-"
quires to be put in pesleasion of a sufficient amount
of facts to enable him to come to a sound conclu
sion; I can therefore best meet his wishes by quo
ting the experience of other communities: where
such High Schools exist. The High school of Phila
delphia, one of the best institutions for popular ed
ucation in the world, WAS establithed in 1838, and
the able principal, Mr. John S. Hart, says in his an
nual report of 1846, speaking of the la tient&
the School;
The result of its eatablishment hatheen - a great
er and more beneficial change in the character of
the lower schools than was evet effected probably
in any similar institution, la the same time. No one
can read attentively the records of the controllers
withmit concurring intheopittion expressed by them
is their"twenty sixth annual Report , in which they
say, the influence of the institution upon the
other schools is believed to be worth 'mere-than all
that it costs, Independent of the advantages received
by its actual milt: The privileges of the- High
School are held forth to the pupil as the reward of
successful exertion in the lower schools. They are
kept constantly and dis.inctly in his and op
erate as a powerful and abiding stimulus through all
the successive stages of promotion, from the lowest
division of the Primary, to the highest division in
the Grammer School. The influence is felt by those
who do not teach the High School quite as much as
by those who do. It is an influence prevading the
whole public school system.".
In another part of the report we - read : “Reading,
spelling and writing, Grammar,' Geography and
Arithmetic forms undoabtally the bodies of a good.
edocatioa. Before the establishment' of the High
School even these studies were not taught adequate
ly in the Grammar schools. Soma of them, air kap-.
pears from the records of the controllers, were net
taught at all to any extent. A very great change
has taken place in this respect during the past
eight years. The second, third, and in soMe cases,
even the fourth division* is a Grammar school now,
are quite equal is intellectual advancement to the
first division in 1.839. consequence of the de.
sire to gain admission to the High School, and the
necessity, in order to this, of the pupils being pro
ficient in Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic, it
has come to pass, that these studies ate now taught
le our public schools as well, probably, as in any
other schools in the world of the same extent."
We are now leasing entirely out of the account
the immense direct benefit of the High School to the
tommunity in securing the development of the most
talented minds, though they may be , found in the
tremblers walks of life in holding out s course of
advancement in which every child stands an equal
chance, soil in which merit alone can win the prize;
the immense influence which such a school would
exert on our republican institutions, by. sending eaeh
year a Jorge class or highly educated young men into
the community, into the work shops, from the true ,
heart of the people. I shall content myself with
one other extract from the eloquent address of
Robert Kelly, Esq., President of the Board of Edo.
cation of the city of New York, at the late opening
of the." Free Academy," an institution similar in its
ottiecur to the High School proposed for Pittsbergh
" The reciprocal action of the Academy sad the
schools will be highly advantageous to both. It is
en the mental discipline, imparted in the Common
Schools, that much of th e success of the Free Ace.
demy will depend. Aed it will benefit thetn,by the
introduction of greater uniformity, by exhibiting in
immediate comparison the skill of the teachers, as
evidenced in the preparation of the candid..tes they

A Woanst rot, AIONAZICII.—The bark Adeline
arrived at New York, on Sunday, from the Coast
of Africa, whence she sailed on the r/th of Febru
ary. She brings a valuable cargo,smong which
are 344 ounces of gold dust. The most interesting
intelligence is relative to the mission that had been
despatched by the English government, to the
powerful interior African kings, for the purpose, if
posaible, of effecting treaties with them,' and to
procure their aid in putting a stopqo the until: in
slaves.
The British agent is Mr. Cruickilaank, and frntir
the Herald's account of his visit to the capital of
the Kingdom of Dahomy, we quote the following
extract .
Mr. Cruickshank was empowered to offer.oo
equivalent, amounting to .£4,000 per annum to the
king of Dahomy, should he succeed la making a
treaty with him for the suppression of the trade in
negroes, and by which he was to use his influence
in putting it down and more particuielly not to
participate in it himself. He,:it -appears, is the
largest seller of negroes in Africa' as annually he
disposes of from 20,000 to 30,060. besides procur.
ing domestics for himself and his chiefs. For this
purpose he makes annual slave hunts, which 'he
conducts, and shares the dangers: ;Reis the abso
lute sovereign of the nation, and Abe people 'are all
solely under his control, to whom they look up to
as a master; no person can hold-any.property
cept by his permission, even during life, and at ,
death all reverses to him. He io-protected by "'an,
immense army of women, numbered by Mr. C. at
many thousands; these amazons it are his body
kuanl ; they never leave him, an `ere answerable
for the safety of his person. ',.
In his talk with the agent of the British Goya
ernment he , evinced a shrewdness in diplomatic
affairs seldom met with in the negro. He conceded
in all the arguments in 'favor of the treaty, on the
-score of humanity, &c. &e., but placed the affair
strictlyin a pecuniary view, alongsvith the custom
of his country. He had recejved crown from
his father, to whom, like him, all tiffs people looked
up to as their supporter; that it required between
£2OO and .£3OO a year for the supporta, the gov
ernment, of which he derived at least £2OO by the,
'slave trade—that this was the gniet sotirce of his
revenue, and support of his crown and country.—
How, then, could those of . England expect that he
should give up his country to ruin by accepting
'the paltry sum now offered. He *ould,- however,
endeavorlo turn the minds of hli'peaple to agri
cultural, pursuits, offered land to the British , Gov
ernrnent, the sea. ihoie, to establish factories,
to 'aid, 'assist, and protect them in their , interior
trade, throughout the several territories. Mr.C.
had much talk• on this subject. a was exceed
ingly adroit and careful not to commit hitriself
conversation.
The Herald adds: " We learn that thepirticular
king referred to has arranged a "vocal telegraph,"
by lines of posts, by which informatieri coan.94 l '
hirn,'-over a distance of 125 milet,:in about one
hour's time, which enable him to mike the proper
disposition of his slaves."

- ' - • PAWS, April .5, 1849.
,More concernis felt here at present in the af
fairs or Italy, than= those of any other part of the
foreign world. The Sardinian army could not,be,
undor any circumstances, a ..mateh for the Austri
an ; it has been soundly threshed,' ankcomplete
ly broken and demoralized ; and as the veteran ,
Radetzky was thought to be fighting the battle of I
social order against universal anarchy, hie prodi
gious and'decisive success affords as. Much tatis
faction to the persent French government, and the
whole party of French moderates, as' it has exci
ted in Great Britain. . - It is expected that the Pope
and the Grand Duke of Tuscanywill be reinstated
in their respective-capitals, to:the.great joy of the
great' majority of their quondam subjects:' The
disoslntion of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin /
which we learned by yesterday:s mail, will facili--
, tate the establishment of - the monarchical cause,
1 and the general sentiments:if the Peninsula under
a system vastly more liberal than the ancient.
Genoa will resist, for a little time, and be ruined
by the demagogues who are attempting to revive
the Republic independently ofPiedmont. - The re.
volutionary Sicilian government rejecta the terms
arranged by the British and. French admirals with
the King of Naples, who resumes the enterprise of
subjection, which was nearly terminated on the
reduction of Messina, when those mediators-inter
posed to rescue Palermo and the island. If Sicily
had accepted the compromise, the Neapolitan go
vernment would have forthwith; restored Pius IX.
to the Holy See. Advices from Germany are so
confused and contradictory, that we cannot tell
whether the Austrians or the Hungarians (May
gars) be the victors in. their furicsus contest. Our
military authorities have no doubt of the ultimate
triumph of the Austrians. 'The common impres
sionithis morning is, that the King of Prussia will
not accept the imperial crown offered by the As.
sembly at . Frankfort;.or will insist on conditions
utterly repugnant to the Assembly motive and pur
pose. The diplomatic mission cseated at iVastr
ington for the German government, seems prema-.
tore, for the government is not yet truly constitu
ted; the unity in question, the supremacy attemp
ted, is deemed impracticable. To-morrow we
may hear that the Assembly has been dispersed,
and something like the old confederation concert
ed among the principal powers of German:lY; Pis;
gust is felt and manifested on both . sides of our
channel, at the conduct of the provisional govern.
merit toward brave and honest Denmark. The
Neapolitan blockade of the Gulf of Palermo ap
pears on:Gaily in the Paris Moniteur. The news
1 from Spain, is, on the whole, favorable to the Go
venunent. Cabrera's band makes no important
progress nor impression ; no Republican or De
mocratic. party has been organized ; none would
Ibave the least chance of success. Narvaez is a
vigilant and resolute dictator ; the Court enjoys,
or thinks it posiesses, absolutesecurity ; the Cortes
1 are passing some salutary laws. Tbe treatment
I of the Pope by the Italian anarchists, indisposes
1 the Spanients more and more to revolution and
republicanism.
The French Ministry bold on, though they can
not be said to cope succetsfuly with the Republi
cans of the National Atsembly. Their budget has
, been materially and vexatiously reduced in some
j. of the Executive departments. General- Changer;
I nier's salary of fifty thousand francs, es Comman
; der at the National Guards, was suppressed by:the
Assembly,at the sitting of the day before yester
1
I day. Being chief of the garrison at the same lime
f and'having the whole military force at his sole
1 disposal for twenty-four hours, when he might
choose, on any alarm, to wield it, was pronounced
1 to be in the teeth of the Constitution. The carna
lative power was not, indeed, defensible, excepton
the ground of public security—the majority who
voted the suppression sought to thwart the minori
-1 ty,and to induce Cbangarnier to resign. A sub.
I scriptica was opened the next morning, to restore
1 the salary, and the whole amMint would have been
easily collected, but the General announces Olathe
I MUSE decline all retribution, and he retains his post
I with the remark that be will now put down insur-
I rection gratis. All the parties and factions have
I engaged, with numberless committees and passion

all latitude of judgment and action in the case.
Thies delivered a masterly speech against the idea
of a war with Austria which this power had in no
manner provoked Imo:France, and which would
certainly kindte aconflegration throughout Europe:
Odillan. Barrot, President of the Council, and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Drouyn de Lugs, urged
the policy of peace and friendly mediation, prop
(easing still to hold as a sine qua iron , the integrity
of Piedmont. We know that the Austrians had
not threatened that integrity. The orators of the
cabinet actually scouted the Republics of Rome
and Tuscany. You will see that a dictator has
been created at Florence. Italian anarchy seems
to be in Its last spasms. ,Our diplomatists say to.

For the fortnight past, the trials of the invaders
of the National Assembly in May last, and of
Proudhon, the oracle of the Socialists, for a libel.
on President Napoleon, bare been the exciting do
tnestic circumstances. Proudhon is sentenced 16
three years imprisonment and a heavy fine. He
has appealed, but the sentence will be ratified by
the Court of Cessation. All the chiefs except one,
..(Gen. Courtais) among the invadersof the Anerrk
lily, have been convicted and sentenced to depor

Our weather has been inclement—ratber wiitry
for ten days. This has vivified the cholera which
prevails in various quarters of the capital-, that are
