$103,248 637.
Ldtters have bocn received in this country
from Mr. Peabody and othtis in London stating
that there will bo a large demand for American
provisions iu Earopo during the coming fall and

A party of gentlemen arc in Louisviiio com

packed beef for tho use of the allied armies in
the Crimea. They are now negotiating with
certain paokers for killing and barreling one

Accounts from Portsmouth, Va., give a :iul*
ancholy pioturo of the condition of that city.
About 8,000 persons have dad from it. The
whole surrounding oountry is overrun with the
fugitives, who fill barns, kitchens, churches,
6obool houses and dwellings. Tho town looks
quite deserted, entire streets having ovly one or
two families remaining, districts depopulated,
hotels and stores closed, business suspended,
and society disrupted.
OKAiOCEATIC DOMINATIONS
In nearly all tho counties of Iho State the
Democrats seem resolved to run pure and
straightout Democratic tiohets. Tho idea of fu
sion is almost everywhere repudiated, and tho
“ unterrified ” are ready for battlo single banded
with all opponents. It is the right spirit. It
keeps np our party organization, and shows
moro regard for principles than for offices. It
will eecuro both in tho end, and make our party
stronger than ever. The great want is good and
truo men on our tickets—men of oharacter, ca
pacity aod experience. And suoh men should
not refuse to run this year. One strong pull
now, with the right kind of candidates and De
mocracy will recover all its lost ground, and find
now and good men taking tho plaocs in our ranks
vacated by tho disaffeoted aud tho unreliable.
The Democrats iu other oounties are putting
forth their best men. Gen. Foster, of West
moreland, runs for tho Legislature, and will
stump his district. In other counties good men
are oomlng forward to the rescue, and the De
mocracy are resolved to conquer. We hopo tho
Convention next Wednesday will be equally wise
in the selection of candidates. We have no rea
son to despair of suoocss if tho ticket is a good
Kansas Legislature. —Tho territory of Kan
sas will be supplied with some pretty stringent
laws in favor of slavery. Among others a bill
is pending making the attempt to entice away
slaves from their owners a capital offence, pun
ishable with death. Tho committee that report
ed tbo bill recommended its passage, and it will
probably become a law.
The bill also provides that tho introduction of
abolition documents whioh tend to inoite tho
slaves to insurrection is made punishable with
death. A censorship of tho press will probably
be provided for next; and various other antics
that are rendering tho whole procoodiDgs of that
body something worse than a farce. It will
probably result in good in tho end. It will bo a
long time before the Missouri outrage in Kansas
will bo forgotten ; and whilo remembered Us ad
mission into the Union as a slavo State will nev
er be conceded by the north.

Tllegßacu ro India - Tho lino of electric
telegraph, now terminating at (’ooMantinople, is
about to bo extended to British ludia. Tho
Turkish government have granted an exclusive
ooncessiou for a submarine telegraph from the
Dardanelles to Alexandria. The cost will be
£120,U00, and the line could be completed in
twelve months. An annual subsidy of C4.50U
for twenty years is to be paid by Turkey for tho
transmission of official messages, the oommu
nications from India will be accelerated from
five to six days when this and tbo general sys
tem of lolegrapba uow con-trucling in European
Turkey shall have been complctod.
At tho same lime proposals are on foot for
extending thn projeot to India, by carrying tho
communicati n via Suez aoJ Aden to Kurroohce,
at tho mouth of tho Indus, where it would con
nect with tho lines already in operation, or in
course of construction, by tho East India Com
pany throughout tho various Presidencies. The
total length from tho Dardanelles to Kurrachoc
is about 4000 miles, and tho sum required for the
whole, including the submarine line to Alexan
dria, would be $4,000,000. Application baa
been made to tbo India House for support, in
tho shape of an annual allowance of $150,000

INVASION OB' I4KXICO. j
Tho Texas mails of ibis morning bring us ac- I
counts of an organization of a military foroo
within tho United States, in aid of tho revolu
tion in northern Mexico. Tho San Antonia
Ledger of the 28th contains a letter from its-cor
respondent, dated at Leone river, on the 19th of
July, detailing “tho movements of the auxiliary
force intonded for tho overthrow of ;tho Santa
Anna g&vornmeut in Mexico, and the'establish'
tuent of a government favorable to tho interests
of Texas.” The first part of tho expedition ar
rived at that place on the ]6th nit., and men
were said to be coming in hourly in great num
bers, and to be expected with great anxiety, on
tho other side of the river. The party was ex
pootod to cross in five days—that is to say,
about the 2-lth ult. They aro under the com'
mand of Capt. W*. B. Henry, lato of tho Texan
volunteers.
AocompauyiDg this correspondence is an ad
dress by Capt. Henry to the people of Toxae,
and a proclamation addressed to tho Mexicans.
The address to tho people of Texas announces
the purpose of himself and his companions “ to
engngo in the revolutiou now existing in the
Mexican republic, to displace tho far-famed
Santa Anna, and establish a new republican
form of government, a government moro favor
bio to the interests of Texas, cnlightonod in its
views, and with the final intention of extending
ike proud American eagle over its protection.
He appeals to Texas, in the strength of her
revolutionary experience and example, and in
oites them by representing tho bordering coun
try of Mexioo as tho refuge of ladian ma
rauders, who perpetrate crimes, robberies and
murders within Texas, which distress “all
lovers of peaoe and order.” It is on tho ac
oount of •• poace and order ” that Mexioo is in-
vaded.
The proclamation to the Mexicans, published
alongside of tho other in the same paper, talks
much moro mildly than that intended for the
Texans. It does not have a word about extend
ing the American eagle over Mexico, but de
clares the wish to see tho Mexicans govern
themselves.
“ Our ouly wish, tho only rewaW we seek for,
and with which wo shall return happy to our
firesides, is to eeo re-established tho federal sys
tem, and to secure treaties by which the interests
of both countries shall bo protected, aad which
will allow us to exohango our products with
yours, without fear of molestation, under the
protection of just and equitable tariffs, thus
giving a new impulse to the prosperity of both
countries.” - v
Nothing is stated id this paper to givo us ap
idea of tho numlora collected for this
across tho borders. L
The Austin Stato Times, of tho 28th ult., say*
that within a few weeks moro than twenty run
away negroes have paaaod at uo groat distauoe
from that city, on thoir way to Mexico, and
adds:
“The number of negroes ileeing from their
masters, and endeavoring to roach Mexico,
makes it imperiously Dccessary something should
bo done to arrest the ovll. We cad b*'C uo more
feasible plan than the one long since suggested.
, By aiding tho liberal party in Mexico, we can
accomplish an arrangement which will mr.ko
slavery as secure in Texas as uuy Slate iu the
Union.”
TUo New Orleans Della regards (bo success of
the revolutionists ia Mexico as already certain,
and with reference to tbc results, Bays, that next
to tbo removal of all restrictions on commoroial
intercourse between Mexico aud tbia country,
tbo most important benefit to both nationalfties
will bo the opening of tbo former to emigration
from the United States:
“ The statesmen who lead the present revolu
tion are thoroughly aware cf the faot to which
we allude, and have pledged themselves not only
to overthrow Santa Anna himself, but Lie policy
also. Wo cannot regard their saocoss, therefore,
ns a mere change of dynasties, to which Mexico
is eomowbat accustomed Wo bolievo it will
mark iho opeuiug of a uow nod propitious ora in
the history of tho country. Iu free commercial
intercourse and unrestricted emigration we per
ceivo her only chances of reconstruction, and on
that account wo sympathize warmly with the
oauso of Alvartz and his friends. Lot them go
ahead

Humored Halving ol .ttie siege of St
bnetopoli
Kuiiiura have Lccncurreut of a misuuderfltan
ding about Sebastopol have broken out between
the English auJ French goverments, but on iu
quiry in the bout informed quarters, tho Paris
correspondent of the London Times Cuds that it
simply amounts to this
“ England asked tho French government for
ltd opinion on the question whether, in tho event
of Sebastopol not falling into the hands cf the
allies before tho eu-l of October, it would uot be
desirable, in order to preservo tho troops from
the terrible rigors of a Crimean winter, to give
up the siege, remove tbo camps to near Cou
siautinople, and recommence the eiego early in
iu the spring cu an entirely net? plan.
Th * French guvomnnt answered that, though
the plau suggested was uot without its advanu
go*, the withdrawal of the French army from the
Crimea without the capture or destruction cf Se
biMopul, would create tmeh a | ainful sciiEulmn
in Franoe that, for its part, it could r.at think of
anything of the LiuJ. The English cabinet,
which, probably, bud do fixed opinion on the
point, did uot say a word iu defence of its ques
tion, aud the matter dropped. "
Mui Tho Cincinnati (Ohio) Dri:c Current
makes an estimate of the amount cf cattle,
sheep, and lambs consumed in tho UnitoJ States,
during a year, in all the cities and towns con
taining over inhabitants, based on calcula
tions deduced from tho statistics of tbo New
York market. It gives tbeao towns an aggre
gate population of about four millions of inhab
itants, and sets them duwu as consuming 800,
000 head of cattle, and two and a half millions
of sheeps and lambs, besides three millions cf
hogs, the* wholo valued at seventy-one and a
half millions of dollars. Two-thirds of tbia
entire product is said to come from the States iu
the valley of the Ohio.

TWO NEPHEWS
At the parlor window of a pretty villa near'
Walton on-Thames, eat one evening at dark, an
old man and a young woman. Tho ago of tho
man might be some seventy; whilo bis compan
ion had certainly not reached nineteen. Her
beautiful, blooming fuse, and notivo, light and
upright figure were in strong contrast with the
worn countenance and bent frame of the old
dan ; but in hia eye, and In tho corners of his
mouth wore indications of a gay solf oonfidenoo,
whioh age and suffering had damped but not ex
tinguished.
“ No use looking any more, Mary,” said he ;
“neither John Meade nor Fetor Finch will be
hero beforo dark. Very hard, that, whou a siok
uncle asks his two nephews to como and ecc him,
they can’t como at onco. Tho duty ".is simple in
the extreme—only to help mo to dio, and take

The girl poured some medicine into n glass,
and Collet, after having contemplated it for a
moment with infiuite disgust, manoged to get it

“I tell you what, Miss Mary Sutton,” said

“ Ah, thcro it is ! ” said Mr. Collett. “ And

The harangue was hero interrupted by a ring
at the gate, and Mr. Poter Finch was announced.
Uo had Bcaroely taken his seat when another

Mr. Collett eyed tho two nephews with a

'i he Commercial department of thin institution has had
the unremitting attention of the Principal for the last G;-
teen veers. Upwards of 8000 students have been prepared
by him for business. His ** young men” assistants have
all been trained for business by himself, und are experi
enoed Teachers and practical Accountants; being frequent
ly employed by business men in adjusting deranged books
There are no teachers in this institution who were in this
city dismissed from their situations aa book-keepers; none
who made twenty blunders on a slnglo page of a bill-book.
Our writing teacher (Mr. Williams) has had something
more than a few lessons from a Philadelphia teacher to
prepare him for his business. No runners are employed
by this institution. When our citizens are importuned by
those of another, they ehonld refer to some of our city Bnnk
officers or merchants—persons whore opinion can be relied
upon—and not be decoyed into one of those concerns which
are being sold out every few months, and their pupils left
to seek instruction where they can find it. nuglS
