[Correspondence of The Frets.] . '
Wellsdoro, Pa., September 10,1857.
The following are the proceedings of a Demo
cratic County Convention for Tioga county, which
csscmolcd in ibeCourt-room, Sept. l6th, 1857, for
the purpose of placing In nomination a county
ticket. 1 ,■ , j •} ■
;H. M. Gerouldfl was called to’the Ohair, H.
PftrkhOMt and Ji r'Wolbfidga were ohosen Secreta
ries. The rpll of delegates from the several towns
being called, showed a full delegation present, bo
sido the largo room being crowded to excess with
enthusiastic'spectators; and all seemed moro than
yyer determined to bring Tioga county back to her
standing In tho Demooratio party.
I The following persons were thon appointed a
committee to draft rosolutions, &c.: J. YT. Kyon,
IT. Parkhurst, H. A. Guernsey, and W. B. Rich.
The following ticket was then nominated:
For Representative, Austin Latbrop; Protbont
tary, A. S. Brewster; Register and Recorder, John
Lang; Treasurer, Thos. Reynolds; Commissioner,
A. H. Bacon; Auditor, Wm. B. Rich.
The following resolutions wore reported by tho
committee, through their chairman, J. W. Ryon,
and.&ll wore adopted without a dissenting voioo,
amid the deafening cheers of spectators and dele
gates:
! That ‘,Wo congratulate the people of
this -Union upon the cleotion of James Buonanan
to the chief magistracy, apd that we point to ; his
wise and patriotic course as a fall vindica ion of
the Confidence of tho people.',
Resolved, That we deplore, and denounce as the
Source of an unmitigated evil, thatseotionai agita
tion', which has so long embittered and Injured tbe
peace of the country; that we deny, and repudiate
fhO right of one State to . interfere with, and give
shape to-,’the domestie institutions of another; that
to the' people of the, States and Territories, ex
clusively, belongs tho right’ to determine all local
questions affecting their domestic polioy, Without
icterferthoe from any outside power. -
Resolved, That to General Packer and h!s asso
ciates on the Demooratio ticket for -State officers,
we pledge our oordlal and hearty support, and in
voke to their aid the support of -all good citizens
who would maintain the honor and integrity of our
Stale, save it from tho grasp of evil fanaticism and
the control of a class of men who would destroy the
pitiOe and harmony of our glorious Union,
Resolved , That we hold to a prudent and eco
nomical administration of out county affairs, and
that it is the duty of every Demoorat to work for
tbb overthrow of the present party in power, by
whose extravagance and'lmprudence the publio
fands are squandered, tho treasury empty, and the
credit of the county impaired;

Gov. Pollock’s Position*
[For The Press.]
EbiTOB Press : In your paper of this morning
it is stated that “ Governor Pollook has oomo out
for Judge Wilmot.” This, I think, is a misappre
hension, arising from the foot that the former is
said to havo addressed a Republican mooting at
Look Haven. The. writer, of ibis was present at
that meeting, and heard tbe remarks of tbe Gover
nor. He simply apolpgiwd'for not making a speech,
a aid a few Words ih justification of the sale of the
main line, Rndnrged every one to attend the elec
tioa—ln his own .words—“ Democrats and Whigs,
Americans and Republicans,' and vote as you
please. 11 He did net make the slightest reference
to anything In iwe’e in this oampoign, or to tho
slavery question,or to tho candidates for Governor.
Sept. 23,1337. A Citizen of Look Haven.
1 Maryland Gubernatorial Candidate*
Col. John C. Groome, who has been nominated
;by the Derawratfl for Governor of Maryland, is an
•esteemed cHlsen of Rlkton, Cecil county. Up to
the last Presidential cleotion, when he voted for
Buchanan, ’Col. G. had boon a Whig; and
from a'correspondence which is published, it ap
pears that a portion of bis Whig friends and others
desired Mm to ran as on independent, candidate.
Col. G.’s reply conoludes as follows:
“Although, as an old Whig I. havo nothing to
disguise, regret, or retract, yet I am constrained
to Admit that, at the present time,'the Democratic
party U the only national political organisation,
vmioh throughout the longth and breadth of the
Rnd U sound upon the groat political questions of
ihe day, particularly upon those whioh affect the
jibertir of conscience, the rights and privileges of
American eltisens, the interests of the South; the
harmony,of the States.' and the preservation and
Bermanency of the Union; and regarding it in this
ght,'l had do Alternative but to glre its nominee
for BreaidenVat the last election, my humble sup
port. ' In this respect, I may, in the opinion of
tome of you, have erred, bnt the act had tbe ap

THE MONEY PANIC.
Otar The Press.]
We have ootieod, for some time book, the many
pociliar and erroneous views promulgated by the
varies journals of our olty with regard to the
oauiei and effects of the presontcrisis. As a young
merchant, valuing the oommeralal Integrity of
Philedeipblai and the individual integrity of Us
we humbly, yet strenuously, protest
against a reckless and wholesale speculation on the
part of our press upon the probabilities and tho
oonsequenoos of what, in their multifarious deduc
tions, they display deoided ignorance.
'; Tho times aw stringent, and it is notour busi
ness notf to inquire; into the oauses which have
made them So, but what is tho remedy? Is there
a cure ? / 4 lf there is, why do nothing but proolaim
1 thb progress of thp postilonco, and the number of
deaths from its contagious influence?
Why, increase tho general feeling of timidity?
Why heighten the pervading sentiment of distrust ?
;W.o sa? 1 there is a cure, and a speedy one. Let
confidence be restored. There is no other. Tho
oountry is in a, prosperous condition. Money, in
reality, is as plenty as during ordinary times; but
tkete is no confidence.
We look upon this orisls os a calamity for the re
moval of which there should bo associated action;
and there oennot be associated aotlon without a
restoration of oohfidonce. Lot this be the aim of
the public press. Let Hbo the aim of the trades*
toith and the laborer, the bar and the pulpit; for
there isno avenue pf industry hho,t its continued
progress will not seriously affect. Wo would, there
fore, recomihend a general meeting of our mer
chants on tbb subject; I know of no method there
Jlkely to. drive away an unnatural panic than this.

tho Navy Department for proposals to construct, in

H may bo, of tho raging oauawl," converse most
mathematically and pusilingly of tliiplactmtntt,
and the problems necessary to bb resolved in order
to reach intelligible and reliable results. What-'

ject, we must hail- this encouragement of ship
builders on the .part of .tho. Government, end the
oonoomltant stimulus to. Improvements iu ebip
. building incur sonntry, as ona great stride toward
the naval supremacy throughout ’ tho world of freo
Amofloa. Safety, speed, ability to' live in heavy
seas and make time, trimhess, capacity, and all the
requisites for perfection in naval architecture, are
alone to bo secured by bringing Into competition the
plana and models of ship-builders from every quar

with a beneficial effect that It must ho proud of.

to have it known that (he drawings for moohlnory,

to hold it BUmulalos all promisors to demand
not only what they have present ’occasion for,
but also to'look, ahead and provide for pros--
pootivo wants. Ho asks, at bank and elsowhere,
for a great deal more, than will sudioo for this also,
and tho aggregate demand bocomes astonishingly
great. , This is what has ocoarred every fail sea
eon, to a greater or loss extent, daring tho past five
years. It has beon heightened this pear by tho
sugar speculation, and also by tho great fall in
stook values, indneed by stook-gomhllng for a
fall. Tho sucooss of tho operators in producing.a
great depreciation In values,’ amounting to many
millions, has sprend a vague distrust, sinco it has
been thought posstblo that many firms may have
beon involved and weakened by this depreciation.
iTJp to this time, howover, although many wealthy
firms have been compelled to suspend, there have
iboen no developments that indioato any infiuenoe
'of the steok market upon mercantile credit. The
immonso payments that have so suddenly been
•made by tho publio, arc of thomselves a proof of
'thegreatsonudness of general business, and tho
'strength of individual honsos. Tho demand for
money evidently is leas pressing, great numbers
having euoooeded in providing for their, wants.
The 1 funds so'procured, however, are hoardef.
Many of the leading mercantile, dry goodrgad
other houses, are known to have; large west
balances, some being as high as §300,000. Vbeao
are not, oa usual, loanod at oall until •
are deposited, eomo as "special” deposits; dwijy'
ing events. And the hank return tbdlM
tho unusual feature of a deorease. in loons
simultaneous with an Inoroaso in deposits. The
'stock, markot, whioh originated tho difficulty,
is quito cosy,' and shows a less demand • for
money than for years. Money is thus offered, at .six
per cont. on call, while tho actual deposits tn
bank, for tho first time sineo July, show an in
crease. Prom $68,682,088 August Ist, they Tan
down to $57,260,004, and havo now risen to $57,861,-
031, Indicating the tarn with tho banks. Tho in
tense struggle to obtain and control oash means is
subsiding, and tho payments of dry good#' jobbetoj
paper in tbo next month will bo large. Tho funds
np W ’hoarded will then move, and many exp*-*
rlenced o&ohiers look for a very-low tango of
money at an early date. It is to be borne in mind
that tho hlty banks hare oalled in and received
10 per cent, of thoir whole loans in four weekj,
and that, with $12,000,000 more oapit&l than at the
corresponding date last year, they owo $10,000,000
less deposits, havo $1,000,000 less loans and $1,500,-
000. more spccio. Tho assets of the meroh&nts, who
mostly owo these loans to bank, are for goods sold
all over the interior, South and West. Thus ftp,
as they have matured they have - been paid with
remarkablo promptness, and tho moans, of pay
ment based on the crops were never so great or
more available as they are this year. The pt'o
dootiou is admitted to bo everywhere large; inter
nal transportation alleged to be too cheap for
railroad profits; ihe foreign markets are Retire,
and freights for the shipping interest ruinously
low; prices for Indian corn In Hew higher
for tho season than sinoo 1847. There can bo no'
question but that these are elements of fargq
payments. At the South the moans are still

Feneration of heat in the cable is, false, os no heat ex*
ista in the holds of thy Agamemnon or Niagara beyond
what Is natural j that the cable teats os perfectly
through Its whole length os when it was first put on

hension oMnJuxy to the cable,,experiments eta tem
perature of 185 deg. Farenheit, and extreme pressure of
weight, having been recently resorted to with very sa
tisfactory results.
He alsb says" that as regards the sale of tho cable, the
suggestion did not come from tho Atlantic Company, and
when offers were mads, they only consented to entertain
them on condition that they would contract for a simi
lar oho, to be inode ready for them In tlmo to secure its
being laid at the earliest practicable moment in the
spring. Ur. Field briefly disposes of the other false in*

“ Falrmount Water Works, situated in the diltrlot
of Spring Garden, on the Schuylkill, about two
miles northwest of the State House, were; previous
to the motion of the Croton Works, in New York,
the envy of tho other cities of the Union—'Phila
delphia having been for a long time the only oily
in the Unitedßtotes supplied with water in this
w*y-~and are still justly the pride and boast of
Philadelphians, not more for their utility than
for the picturesque attractions of the place. It
would, perhaps, be difficult to point out anywhere
a spot concentrating in the same space so many
elements of the beautiful and picturesque. The
raggedness of the native rock; the view of the
adjacent river and fails; Falrmount, four reser
voire, resembling so many silver lakes; the flowers
and rich verdure of the level plat and of the Mll
sjdes, added to the sparkling play of numerous
fountains with which the grounds are adorned, all
combine to form a landscape of exquisite and al
most unequalled beauty.”
The Returns of several of tho lieutenants

MATTERS AND THINGS IN NEW YORK.
[From the New York papers of last evening.]
ANkssT roR Grand La&cknv.—John Grady
was last night committed by Justice Welsh, in de
fault of $l,OOO bail, to answer the oharge of grand
larceny, preferred by Hughes, Dupuy, & Crehange,
No. 37 Maiden Lane. 1
It appears from the affidavits in the oase, that
some four weeks ago the above firm had five and
& half dozen of gold fob, nook, and vest chains sto
len from their store, together with a gross of Corne
lian rings, amounting in value to about one hundred
and twenty dollars. No traoo of the robbery was
found until Monday last, at whioh time a
named, Bernard Prato entered the store, and
exhibiting to a olerk a piece of plated chain, asked
if he bad any like it. The clerk took the ehato
to Mr. Hughes, one of the proprietors, who identi
fied it at similar to the stolen goods. Hughes
questioned Frain as to where he got it, and he re
plied that he found it in his wife’s drawer, and
supposed that Grady, their boarder, rave it her.
He further pointed out several patterns on toe
table, and said that Grady had a lot similar to
them. Upon this information Officers Klider and
Arohuto, of the First ward, arrested him, and
searched his rooms to Frato’s house,! 207 Gold
street, Brooklyn, where the goods were found and
identified by toe owners.
Tne Watbr Strbit Traobdt.—Coroner Hills

“That James Morrison, the deceased, earn© to
bs death by a pistol-shot fired by Riobard Morrls
ey, he having been attacked by the deceased; but
to jury do not find that the attack was such as to
istify defence with a murderous instrument.”
On this verdiot, Morrissey, the accused, vaseom
nitted to the Tombs to await the action of the
Jrand Jury.

LETTER FROM HEW YORK.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
Nkw Yorx, Sept. 23,1837—6.20 P. it.
There is no new feature in the money market tc*
day worthy of special notice. Although the bonks
acted very liberally yesterday, as I stated at the
time, they could not possibly discount anything
like their offerings, and consequently the demand
for money oontinues very actire, without the least
falling off In street rates of Interest. The Journal
of Commerce gives the following table of street
rates, whioh is as accurate as it is possible to be in
the present irregular state of the market: *
Loans on call 15024
Prime endorsed bills, 00090 days ....Me—
Do 4®S months 24023
First-eIAAI single signatures... .24436
Were the shipments of grain as large as tho arri
vals, wo should soon obtain permanont relief; but
there is so much difficulty in disposing of bills of
exohange that shipments are very much retarded.
Foreign exchange continues exceedingly doll and
irregular. Sterling, 80 days, quoted at 107*108
for hankers, and lOHalOdt for good signatures.
Francs, 5.25*5.22}.
As soon os the panto is completely post and gone
many of those who were most frightened will won
der why U ahouldhave ever occurred With really
plenty of money, if It was only available; a pros
pect of an exoellent crop cf cotton ; an unusually
abundant harvest; peace and prosperity on the con
tinent of Europe, it Ishard to say why there should
not be as perfect confidence as In ordinary times.
It is much easier to create distrust than to allay
it, and thoughit is very justifiable to know whether
a man is “«afo” before yon lend him money, to
doubt every man’s “safety” is the most direct
means of causing the evil we affect todre&d.
There have been many failures, it is true, some
of whioh havo been caused by the suddenlstoppage
of bank accommodation and the decline In securities
of all sorts; but there were many which deserved
to fall, and whose loss will be a gain to commerce
generally. We shall very probably hear of fUU
more failures before we roach smooth water. Sus
pension becomes contagions, qnd, in times like
these, is ofton a very acceptable means of covering
up indiscretion ana extravagance, or a very con
venient and economical wav or avidiog the anxiety
and annoyance of “ hard times,” it being always
open “ to resume business, having paid 190 cents
on the dollar,” when the sky is clear.
This last mentioned course may be very agreea
bio to tho individual, but scarcely j moral, even
though his ultimate intentions aro strictly moral.
Our sound commercial men are beginning .to. see
that there was no real cause for what' we shall
hereaftor oall the panic of 1857, and that they
havo been far more “ soared than hurt.” and busi
ness transactions go on more easily, ana with fewer
hesitating exclamations—* 4 We oannot say whether
he is safe or not.”
The settlement at the Clearing House was prompt.
The Clearing amounted to 316,786,965, and the
balance paid in coin to $707,167.03.
The cash transactions at the Sub-Treasury for
the day were: Receipts $129,116.15. Payments
$195,965.83. Balanov $10,016,611.47. The re
ceipts at the Custom House to-day for duties were
$103,000.
Tho bills of the Hartford Co. Bank hare been
thrown outto-dav.
The stock market is still very irregular. At
the first board there was a more lively feeling,
and several stocks advanced some points from
yesterday's closing price. At the second board,
however, prices fell off again, and closed heavily.
As you will perceive by a comparison of the bulle
tins of both boards, the gala cf the morning fa*
generally lost in the evening, although the clos
ing prices were a trifle better thou those of yester
day.
The meeting of the stockholders of the Erie
Railroad took place, as announced, this afternoon.
Mr. Moran made a very able and lucid exposition
of tho state of the company’s affairs, and gave the
most premising view of the solidity and remunera
tive capacity of the road. The $6,000,000 loan is
essential, however, as a preliminary to success, and
the most active measures are to be token to nego
tiate, Brown Brothers having agreed, as I am in
formed, to head the list for a strong sum.

RICHARDSON BROTHERS CO.’S CIRCULAR.
The w eather from the date of our last has heed ex
ceedingly fine, but this morning a change has taken
place and a good deal of rain has fallen; except In inant
parts of the north ot England, Ireland, and Scotland, it
cannot be of any moment, as our crops are now amtr
well gathered in.
The market has assumed a firm tone,' Wheat and flour
ore more difficult of purchase; ou stock of really useful
descriptions is narrowed into a very small « the
American market, with a better supply and lower prices
from our aide, had yielded somewhat: new white wheat
might hare been laid down here at about Sa®Sq 3d: and
red SssSs 3d per 70 lbs, duty paid ex shim and mixed
Indian corn 3de per qr. The qoantity ■uipping wai,
nevertheless, exceeding!/ small. Freights were only
quoted at 2 / *,'d per 60 Im, or about 9®logper ton, which
at once shows the quantity offering for shipment to be
very limited indeed. Indian com has been in fair re
quest, for both feeding purposes in England and also
shipment to Ireland, and the tales havebeen made at
the extreme rates ot our last, say 37s for Ibrai), 38a for
for yellow American, and 42s Gde43« for
Oar market this morning was fairly attended r -Owing
to the scarcity of good useful description* of American
"heat, holders were enabled to obtain a father adro&ce
7O lbs oTer the rates current on Friday.but
other sorts, such as Baltic, although held for soma im
provement, were not by any means a free sale.
The demand for flour was somewhat better, aMCdto’
bbl and Is sack advance in most instances obtain
able.
We have again to note a fair demand for Indian Corn
for feeding purposes, for the Interior, and the full rates
of oar last fully maintained for Black Sea qualities
while mixed American, from scarcity, was at 6d
qr improvement, cay 38s fid qr. White met a foir de
mand at 43e44e, as in quality.
Oats and Meal steady at extreme rates, say 2s TdsXs
8d 46 tbs, and 36037 s for new Meal, as in quality.

LxviarooL, September B.—Tbo weather has continued
variable but with the greater part of the harvest se
cured, this has little effect on. the Grain trade.
A better market at Mark Lane, yesterday, together
with the tightness of ear stocks, has imparted some
firmness to the trade here, and at Tueeday^’e market Red
Wheats were held for an advance on Friday’s rates of M
to 2d per bushel, at which a moderate consumptive bu
siness was done; in White there is no change to rroort
Fiourof good quality scarce, and 6d tels per bbl dearer
