no difficulty.

they will long feel thi3 results of the war with
Russia, which added $500,000,000 to the $4,-
000,000,000 of National Debt with which they
were previously burihoned 7 --and the, voice of
,public opinion, throughout - Eprope,-wherever
it is allowed to make itself heard, is equidly,
against the naval supremacy aimed at by Eng
land. On ihat point, therefore, general
opinion is readily and completely ascertaina
ble.
As to the French "duel," the matter is
not so clear. We look 'in vain through
'French newspapers for further particulars
respecting that. In fact, the French
journals are muzzled, and dare not relate
the slightest circumstance respecting many
subjects, of which the DE PENE and NY
ENNE duel is one. NAPOLEON 111 feels
that the conduct of the banditti called c( milt
tary officers " has been most abominable. lo
knows what he should have done to punish it.
lie knows how infinitely he has failed in the
performance of hit duty, as Chief Magistrate.
Ho knows that if ho attempt to do justice,
it would be at the risk of offending the army,
whose bayonets placed him Upon the throne,
whose bayonets maintain him upon it. With
all his gilded state and inscrutiblo bearing,
NAPOLEON has been made to feel, by
.this
"duel" affair, how completely he is at the
mercy of his soldiers. So entirely, indeed,
thnt ho dare not punish that cold-blooded as.
sassin, Sous-lieutenant IhExun.
A few desultory scraps of information, scat
tered through a few Parisian journals, give
occasional glimpses of the condition of M. do
PEKE. One account states that, contrary to
expectation, the victim was slowly recovering,
and that, at no remote day, ho wak to be re
moved to Paris.
It is in the Paris correspondence of English
and American journals that anything like full
ness of detail is given. Yet, with the dread
of not being allowed to circulate in Franco,
even the London papers do not venture to, say
much.
In the Paris correspondence of the ,Now
York Times, wo find a groat deal more. Here
is the last report frotn this source : DE
PENE:, wounded in the duel with an army ()di
cer, is at last recovering fro \ na his dangerous
position. He was saved, it Is conceived, by
two capital points of treatment adopted by
Messrs. VELPEAU and GUERIN, his surgeons.
In the first place, the principle of Occlusion
was adopted in dressing the wounds—that is
to say, the wounds were suddenly covered,
and no air admitted to them during the whole
treatment, so as . to prevent the putrefaction
of the blood and subsequent purulent absorp
tion. In the second place, they gave him
freely of mercury, so as to prevent inflamma
tion. No man, it is safe to say, ever reco
vered from two wounds of greater gravity
than those received by M. nE PENE, and the
treatment is worth noting. Ho is still lying
in the little house near Pecq, and near the
celebrated Monte-Cristo of ALEXANDER Du
nes. The house has but ono room in it, and
the' wife, father, mother, brothers, and sliders
of the wounded man camp oM before the door
under a tent. Two of his brothers are officers
in the army.),
What of Sous-lioutonant HYENNE, the form-
ing-master, who having watched how Do PENS
used his weapon in a previous duel, forced
him to fight; ran him through the body ; and
then, as the young man was falling, rapidly
and adroitly gave him that second wound which
has been so nearly mortal, and the final effect
of:which may be, wholly so? What of him'?
He was placed under arrest, by order of the
Emperor, but the public may judge what a
downright 6 , sham" this arrest is, when we tell
them that two hundred sous-lieutenants, ad
miring the conduet of EIYENNE, actually com
plithented him with a publiO dinner, in ac
knowledgment of, the gallant manner in
which ho set upon DE PENS, provoked him
to fight, skiltlilly wounded him, and then
R. MANLEY, JR
adroitly gave hint a second sword-thrust as ho
was tottering to the ground from the first. At
this dinner, it is related, the greatest harmony
and unanimity prevailed. The health of
11YENNE was enthusiastically honored, but
what is called , f the toast of the evening" was
a very unusual one. It was drank in bumpers,
with the accompaniment of.a perfect hurricane
of applause. That toast was, id Confusion to
Journalism and death to Journalists
If the -executive part of. this gallant and
pious sentiment were entrusted to M. ,lly-
ENNE, there can be no doubt of its being com
pletely carried into operation. His very name
denotes his brutal nature, without any of the
Nobler Instincts of the, beast. I.IrENNE, we
rny2l-Bnll l,
dare say, would feel as much honored as de
lighted if to him were confided the assassina
tion of all delinquenLeditors who had ventured
to hint that the sous-lieutenants of France
were merely mortal, troubled with the foibles
as well as blessed with the bettor endowments
of humanity.
In that truth-like story called c( Martin
Chundowit," we.have Mr. Wackford Squegys;
the one-eyed proprietor of Dotheboys Hall,
exultingly boasting that his little wretch
of a son, the ill:conditioned Wackford junior,
was <, next door to a cherubim." Hyman:,
sous-lieutenant and fencing-master, would
equally declare that every member of his
"class" (himself included) is worthy of the
best times of France, ere the age of chivalry
had departed. Squeors and FITENNt, it strikes
lig, had equal cause for proudly boasting,—one
of his son, the other of his colleagues.
If be well qualified for carrying
out that part of the military sentiment,
"Death to journalists," a much more exalfed
person has been engaged, for several years,
in completely effecting tho wished-for "Con
fusion to journalism," which also was the
after-dinner sentiment. of tots blood-thirsty
sous-licutcnants, who recognised a congenial
spirit in their amiable comrade, HymiNu. The
individual who has even been anticipating the
sous-lieutenants, not more in coqusine, but
actually in destroytng Journalism, is his ilia
jesty NAPOLEON 111, Emperor of the French,
by the Grace of God, and the will of the
People." Very constant, very persevering,
has been his crusade against the Press, and,
wielding the power that he does, -it is certain
that he can silence it, as long as he pleases,
without a word of justification or of notice.
The New York Times' letter-writer, whom
we have already quoted, adds, You will un
derstand something of the excitement pro.
duced by this affair, when I tell you that more
than ten thousand persons signed their names
on books of Condolence for N. DE PENN,

not actually suppressed the Figaro, but, with
unutterable meanness, has taken a'measure to
ruin it; by robbing it of its leading means of
support—narnely, what it derived front the
publinatton of advertisements. Many of the'
minor ?reach journals depend little on their
sale, but greatly upon the profits derived front
their advertisements. The magnanimous NA
rOLEON, to whom, like an elephant, nothing is
too heavyor too small—who can equally bully
England and snuff out a small journal—has is
sued an ukase to the effect that the Figaro
must appear in future without advertisements.

The purulng Mountain-11ot Sulphur Spring,'

fOorreepomienco of Tho Prem . '
POTTSVILLE, Juno 10, 1858
TWenty-three years ago, be the Fame more or
less, 'a party of minors were driving a drift on the
'great jugUlar coal vain, on the slope of the Broad
Mountain, and nearly opposite the Mine Bill
Water cap, ono of .the meet picturesquo scenes in
the &late, It. was 'winter—and being so, the
water which drippled down through the timber
ing congealed 'in hugo stalactites, and converted
the wane of brilliant glacial crystals.
To rontocc this obstruction, a fire wee kindled on
Saturday aftornoon, and then tho miners withdrew
.•
toipond the intervening Sabbath. UpOn Faltering
.the mine," on Monday morning, they fOund the
timbers Wakened and •chorred,'and the coal vein
itself discharging volumes of sulphurous gases, and
crackling and hissing in a slow but terrible com
bustion. The vein of coal was from twenty-five to
fifty fest in thickness, dips nearly porpendioularly,
and has a strike of nearly half a mile between the
abraded valleya which form its' termini above
water.lovoli All efforts to extinguish the fire
proved unavailing; and now, after quarter of a
century of volcanio . action, during which period
the surface of the ,mountain has been pitted with
numerous littlo craters, It is still burning, anti
smouldering, and steaming away as vigorously as
over.
The waters which issue from the mountain are
warm, and at come points quite hot. This was na
tural enough and exalted no particular curiosity.
A year or two ago, however, Mr. John Maginnts
had oceasion'to drive in an alit below the old
level, and while thus engaged the minors found
that, besides being very hot, tho water had 89111 C
other very peauliar and extraordinary qualities.
Its damaging effeots aspen shoe-leather presented
at once .a new and singular,plidso in the statistics
of mining economy. The water would take the li
berty of running right through tho stoutest and most
compact waterproof boots; but, in doing this, it
was observed with eonsnensating satisfaction, that
bunions, earns; and all Cutaneous soros and °zeros-
Seneca very mysteriously disappeared, and afeeling
of unmistakable agility and springiness in the
limbs, and of general stamina in the whole system,
FO utterly at varionee with the exhaustive daily
labor of the miner, at once followed the foot
marks of original curiosity. Familiarity with the
waters, and the hot vapors of the mine, soon ele
voted to the very highest pitch the popular estimate
of their medicinal qualities. They began to drink
them, and the efl'euts were pleasant and decided ;
they bathed in them, and it'svas found that they
not only healed ordinary cuts, bruises, and swell
ings to which laborers are exposed, but also'sero
futons eruptions, and the whole family of diseases
arising from impure blood and a weak and feeble
constitution The most .exeruelating pains of
rheumatism have been dispelled almost instanta
neously, and as if by magic. Some of the most ex
traordinary effects on record have been produced
within the last three months; persons whose con
tracted tendons bent their bodies like a hoop, or
contorted their limbs, or suffered bthorwiso she
painful effects of diseases., have, in a brief process
of drinking and bathing, boon restored to complete
health—enjoying a tone, a freshness and rigor of
body and mind to which they had formerly been
strangers. An old iiovo, which had long doneservlce
in the mince, hecnino at length en crippled and de
bilitated no to be hardly able to move. In this con
dition ha was turred loose, and allowed to shift for
himself. He ranged along the burning mountain;
inhaled its steaming vapor ; drank its thermal
waters; and wallowed in its marshy pools. Ile
soon returned to the scenes of his former labor
looking strong and cheerful, end stepping over the
ground with the muscular grace of a eat. A brief
trial of the waters had thus snatched the old
stager from impending death.
These wonderful performances, occurring in our
very midst, have given th 6 'waters a celebrity
which is extending itself abroad ; and there is
not a day that does not bring ite scores of persons
to the mine in quest of supplies. A month ago, I
mot a friend alighting from his carriage, who had
just returned from the wino, and bearing with him
a large demijohn. Peeling n curiosity which,
I hope, was ndl too obtrusive for the personal
regard I entertain for my friend, I ventured an
inquiry as to the contents of the jug. lie told
me It contained mineral water from the Burning
Mountain ; that ho had heard groat things of it,
Arid that ho was going to send the demijohn to a
friend, (Mr 5.,) one of the proprietorsof a leading
morning paper in your city. Ido not know what
purpose the water thus forwarded may hay o sub•.
served. but a few days ago a letter reached here,
ordering a barrel of it to be sent down as soon as
possible, and instituting sundry inquiries regard
ing the phenomenon. Similar orders are coming
from New York, and elsewhere, and they
are calculated to stimulate measures for
their immediate introduction to the public.
There aro, as yet, no facilities whatever for
bathing at the mine. Tho nearest inn is more
than a mile distant. It is very doubtful,
moreover, whether improvements for the accom-
modation of guests will be made stall, inasmuch
as the lease of Mr. Magirinis is for a comparative
ly short period, and would not justify the memo
ry expenses of its equipment as a watering-place.
It is contemplated, for the ptegent, to convey tho
water sway from the mine, and, if sutlioieut en
couragement be shown by the land•ownors and
others interested, to erect bathing-houses, anti a
plain hotel building. The water may then be
sent to Philadelphia in hogsheads, and afforded at
such low rates per gallon or cask as to place it
within the moons of all classes.
Although several chemical assays nro reported, I
have not learned all the contents of the water.
It has the astringency , and somewhat tho taste of
alum water; but its leading principle undoubted
ly proceeds from sulpbstr and iron. Its effect .on
the skin is almost immediate—removing blotehes,
pimples, freckles, and all roughness, and develop
ing a now and healthy surface. flaring scoured
n. few gallons tho other day, I have used it with
material benefit in my morning ablutions. Tho
medicinal virtues aro no doubt precipitated, for
the moot part, from the iron pyrites of the coal, as
well as the enclosing slates and wall rock, which
perhaps furnish it little lime, magnesia, soda, or
other ingredients peculiar to the thermal and
sulphur springs of the Allegheny range.
I have thus dwelt somewhat at length upon the
phenomena of those waters, from the eireuinstance
that their situation invests them.with additional
interest In connection wills a future first-class
watering place. The scenery of this region—the
scenery of this particular spot—is hardly surpass
ed by any in the country. But besides scenic ef
fect and ever-varying pictures, - we have the finest
roads, affording 'continuous vistas of forest and
foliage; while the mountains rear their peaks
from thirteen to sixteen hundred feet above the
level of your streets in Philadelphia. We one
literally look down upon you from the clouds. We
penetrate an atmosphere freighted with the odors
of wild-flowers—melodious with the warbling of
birds, and pure and unadulterated as brandy in the
original cask Harrisburg is owe hundred and
seven miles from Philadelphia, and some three
hundred feet above the level of the Delaware.
Pottsville is but ninety-four miles distant, and up
wards of seve,e hundred feet above the Delaware,
while the summit of Sharp Mountain is seven
hundred feet higher. At no other plasee can any
thing approaching this altitude be obtained with
in the same distance from Philadelphia.
But, besides the topography of the region, be
sides its high situation, its pure air, its magnificent
foliage, its smooth, springy roads, its numerous
villages and way-side attractions, there is In re
serve a curiosity of nature surpassing in complica
ted grandeur Niagara itself. mean the coal for
liuitioit. Who can ovor cense to gaze upon it, or
cease to wonder? The mind can amuse itself
hero day nftor day, anti yet never exhaust the in
terest upon which it luxuriates.
I had intended to say something of the cool
trado, of the Schuylkill navigation, the Rending
Railroad, and other topics ; but I have already
written enough for one letter. The coal trade con
tinues ruinously dull. Tho miners, who were all
out on a strike for higher wages end against store
orders, have gone to -work at theold rates, and
order prevails as usual; I notico that our labor
ing yiopulation have put an immense quantity of
land in cultivation Ulla year—inure then six times
as much es formerly. This will bo so much added
to the common support. The surface soil in not
valued here; and houses and lots in tho vicinitS , of
abandoned mines are occupied by a species of
squatter soveroignty, end our laboring population
are thus furnished tho means for supp . ortlng thorn

Tho good people or our agricultural districts

is of all the year most fruitful of general outdoor
labor. From time immemorial the return of the
Summer Solstice, or 010 '‘Dgest ly," 33 it d ,
hero usually called, has been the signal for farm
ere to commence haying. True to this long•c,.tah
lished rule, yesterday morning found probably
four•fifths of the farms in Pennsylvania, emelt with
its force of mowers to ehenr the dewy mead of its

sweltering in the ton during this season of trying
'habitat labor, the epithet happy" may seem in
appropriately applied; but those who know need
not bo told that it is no loss trim that there Is
more innocent seeial conviviality enjoyed among
this class of our rural citizens, during the two
months, beginning with this dote, then that the
most unceasing toil of all the year is embraced
within this period.
Of course, there is much beside the mere toil to
contribute to this harvest joy with the farmer. In
the main, it is within them two• months that ho
secures the gladdening hulls of is patient toil,
expended throughout the other ten. But, in ad
dition to this, there is something in the very
aspect of nature, now, that gives a peculiar zest to
agricititural toil. Long winter evenings have
been sung as the crowning charm of a country
life; and, so far as. regards facilities for intel
lectual improvement, stern winter may indeed de
serve the palm; yet, after all, these hay-day fee.
tivals and harvest glees take in more real life, and
tench us more of the sweets which an overruling
Providence has soon fit beneficently to mingle in
the cup of the Adamic curse than aro found in the
sleighbell's chime of winter, or oven the opening
buds of spring, or the mellow days of aUturan.
As I run now writing beside the opon window of
a dear old mansion, after a day's toil in the hay
the evening air, freighted with the de•
lightful odors of the now-mown hay, fanning my
brow, and alternating its ministrations to my ol
factory perceptions with the fumes of a prime Ha
vana, I fool an inexpressible sympathy for mortals
less favorably situated. There is a verse,' recol
lect having road, contained in same fugitive poem,
I know not whose, which thus happily expresses
one of the charms of the haying season :
sweet gales from Eastern lands may bless
The sailor far at sea ;
Du t, of all the fragrant gifte of earth,
The awe-mown hay for me.,,
Thorn aro probably low who cannot endorse the
sentiment of those lines ; and yet, how much they
must loco by not visiting the country now, and
gunfang • this volatile fragrance from the broad
bosom of bounteous Nature!
But I must desist this sentimental strain. All
kinds of field crops bid fair to be abundant. The
gathering in of hay and winter grain within the
unit three weeks, should the weather ,prove aus•
piclous, will - be immense. The corn, which was in
most oases planted unusually late, is yet necessa
rily small, but presents a regular and healthy ap
pot:ranee—so mush so, that, among the hindrances
to its proper development, an early autumn frost
is probably most to be feared. Between the effects
of late frost and protracted rains, apples, pears,
sherries, peaches, and in fact orchard fruits of all
kinds, in this vicinity, will be scarce.
After so long an intermission of this class of con
tributions, I may (if the Motor wP,I tolerate the
phrase) sign myself, Yours, resurrected,
FAST TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND IN 177:1.
[From the Jeurnal of John Woo!men, of Durllugton,

Stage coaches frequently go upwards of a hun•
drcid miles in twenty-four hours. And I have
heard Friends say, in several places, that it'is com
mon for horses to he killed with hard driving, and
many others are driven till they grow blind.
Post-boys pursue their business, each one to his
stage, all night through the winter. Some boys,
who ride long stages, Aires greatly in winter
nights ; and at several places I have hoard of
their being frozen to death. So great is the bur
ry in the spirit of this world, that in aiming to do
business quick, and to gain wealth, the creation
at this day doth loudly groan!
As my journey hath been without a horse, I
have had several offers of being assisted on My
way in these stage coaches ; but I have not been
in them. Nor have I had freedom to send letters
by these posts, in the present way of their riding;
the stages being so fixed, and ono boy dependent
en another as to time, that they commonly go up
ward of ono hundred miles in twenty-four hours ;
and in the cold, long winter nights the pour boys
sutler much.
I heard in America of tho way of these posts ;
and cautioned Friends in the general meeting of
ministers and elders at Philadelphia, and in the
yearly mooting of ministers and elders at London,
not to sond letters to MO 011 any common occasion
by post. And though, on this account, I may be
likely to hear eeldomor from my family left bo:
bind, yet, for righteouaness' mho, I am, through
Divine favor, made content.
VREE • TRADE.
To TAP. EDITOR OF Too PRESS.-
"Dunker Hill," your correspondent may s';ield
himself. The question, " What beneficial results
would flow from resorting to an exploded system ?"
remains unanswered. The assumptions, admis
sions, and reflections, in his letter, do not affect
the point one whit. Of tho assumption that the
defeated statesman of England waft influenced by
the sordid landed interest thereof, is what no sane
man will attach credibility to. That was the very .
interest to which he would not yield. It bad
been propped up oy every conceivable device; en
forced by every rigidity of law; made repugnant
to common sense; engendered footings alike de
structive of the comfort and well-being of humani.
tY, moral, Social, and political. Free trade was
not acquired by mere eXprossions of benevolence
for a class—poor or laboring—but for this whole.
It struck at the root of a rotten system,
somewhat parallel tO the extension of the fran
chise, under the reform ants, but far inferior
thereto. Its adoption caused a moral revolution
in the mindoand procedure of men. Enterprise,
commerce, and skill were blockaded by protection.
Heavy duties, high prices, and low wages were the
order of the day. Each had their particular con
sideration. Robert Peel was no theorist. No
sinister motive could have influenced him.% Ile
was above it. Allege such a motive against the
iminottal Washington, and whore is the man bet
what would repudiate it? The "cotton lords"
of the North of England did not enrich Richard
Cobden. His nets, his ativocuoY, made him the
poor man's friend—the man for htatountry's good.
The Brutish Legislature yielded—not so much to
the man, but to the point that the time bad ar
rived when the voice of tho people should be
• hoard and responded to. .
There is no argument in adverting to what might
have been the present position of America, it for
any fifteen years a protective policy had operated.
Such an aSsutription, as to beneficial or •otherwiso,
has its own answer. It has not, and there the
question rests. The admission, or Amotioa hating
been deluded and necessitated to bo a copyist, or
follow in the wake of other nations, is as unsup
, ported by fact as unwarranted by . comparison.
Were it so, her stars and stripes might he fit ob
jects for oblivion. That the present condition of
Amcrioa is the result of political .connivance, is as
unique a specimen of modern invention as well
could bo assorted. Who forms the politician?
Who delegates hire to Congress? Is he, or not, n
free agent! Is no independent act performed by
him? Is there no responSibility—no accounta
bility? Is the intelligence of this great country to
lie under such an imputation? Delusion of being
wedded to a certain interest, that the South has
views in contradistinction to the North, is foreign
to the point at issue. 'Higher rind more ennobling
is that system which has happily been productive
of interonange in art, enterprise, and okil I, deno
minated Free Trade.

What they think of It In Indiana.
The Bnporto (Ind.) Times thus speaks of the
Illinois bolters!
COOK'S CONYENtION iN lI,LINOIS.---TllO Con
vention of the bolters in the Stato of Illinois,
from the regular action of the Democratic pnrty
of that State, held at Springfield, on the 24th lest ,
was a farcionl affilir. Nine-tenths of the delegates
were Federal officers; the balance, with not a
dozen exceptions, expectnnts of official crumbs.
Poor, pitiable devils! Over•zealous fools ! ! They
have tied themselves to the carcass of a dead-lion,
which was feared by its owners when alive; and
now that it is dead leaves a stench only with its
memory. Those mon do not act for the Adminis
tration. If it wore conceded that the action of
those bolters, in attempting to disorganize the De
mocratic party of Illinois—a Democracy who have
never failed to throw the electoral vote of their
State for the Democratic candidate for the Prost
&may—if it could bo believed that Mr. Buchanan
instigated tho work of these officials, ton hundred
thousand Democratic daggers would loop from
their sheaths in the North, and, with scabbards
throwa away, the war would begin—to and when
the inneniy was blenched out in the rocking ven
geance of outraged justice. But it is authorita
, tively 'declared that the President frowns upon
these-proceedings.. We could -not believe other
wiso—nnd, believing this, aro! confident that the •,
movement will bo discountenanced by true'men
everywhere, and that it will fall short of the ob

in ono of higher values. Excessive Issnes of paper
money expel, the precious metals from ordinary
circulation, ad make the redemption of bills, in
specie, upon which theory alone they aro issued,
impracticable, if not impossible.
"The principa' ~ es of money or currency are
two: First, ns - a. limo of exchange; second, as
a measure of volt a. * * The second use of
money, n 3 a ntea.varee)f value, is of far greater
importance to the community, and should control
legislation in regard to the currency. * * In
this view of it, the question affects the business of
every man ;It:affects the import and export of
merchandise, the revenue of the country, and the
value of all property in the country ; and in thir ,
view, itho. it :acute the morals and character of
the community. It *
"All the eminentstatesmen of the country have
evidently considered our present extended system
of paper currency as one which was . only to be
tolerated for a time, and that we should, at some
early period, go back, by general consent, to the
constitutional currency of the nation, at least for
general use among the people. Mr. Webster. for
instance, said in a speech. delivered by him more
than a quarter of a century ago: 'Of all the con
trivances for cheating mankind, none has been
more effectual than that which deludes them with
paper money. This is the most effectual of ell in
ventions to fertilize the rich man's field with the
sweat of the poor man's brew ;' and on another occa
sion he said : My proposilion would be, that banks
sheuld be restrained from issuing for circulation
hills or notes under a given stun, say tenor twenty
dollars; this would diminish the circulation, and
consequently the profits of thebanks. Bat it is of
less importance to make banks highly profitable
institutions to the stockholders than, that they
should be safe to the community.' IF * *
"Any addition to the Ourreney or *nosy of a
country, whether it he in the form of bank-mites
or in coin, canoes a rise of prices, which will Stimu
late the import of merclianclisti until the amount
of the addition has been taken-away in gold and
silver, so that the quantity of money may be again
reduced in accordance to the common standard of
the quantity or money in the commercial world.
Tho value of paper money is local, and, therefore,
it is never exported. The prices of commodities
and property of all kinds, and the extent of-busi
ness, ere always influenced- by the amount of
money in circulation. *, * The different
State Governments have no control of the tariff of
duties, but they have generally exorcised thepow-•
or of creating a currency of paper money by char
tering nearly fifteen hundred banks, with authority
to issue notes to Circulate as money, practically to
an unlimited extent. The tariff and the currency
aro kindred eubjects, which act and react upon each
other, and no financial systeit, in any country, can
be successful whieh does not combine and eau's
- them to work in- harnuiY. *
"An expanded currency of. paper: money in
creases the cost of manufactures to en- unequal
competition with the products of foreign labor,
tinder a more restricted and sounder currency.. An
excessive paper currency is at all times unsound
and. unsafe.. * t * It is exceedingly (detri
mental to the success of bur munufecturing and
producing classes. It is at war with our:varied
industrial pursuits and vocations; it opposes their
prosperity; - and, in despite of the skill and ap
plication so creditable to our manufacturers ' it ~sec
ures the advantaxw, even in our own markets, to
much of the competing labor and products of Eu
rope. * In time of peace and unin
terrupted commerce, the benefits of the high prices
arising from an expanded paper currency cannot
be secured to the industry of our own community.
* It is oLeioasfy for the interest of
Now England, with so large a proportion - of her
pop . ulation dependent on industrial and manufac
turing pursuits, that the currency should be regu
lated by restricting it, so as to bring it nearer in
value to the currencies of those countries which are ,
now our great competitors for the supply of what
is consumed by nor own people. What do we gain
by the additions to tho currency in the form of
bank notes, when California is furnishing an ample
supply of the precious motels for currency., if the'
country will make use of it?' Why should the
people of Now England encourage the use of bank
notes for currency, and force . the precious metals
to be sant abroad, to bo exchanged for foreign
merchandise, et the very time when they peed
protection against the immense imports of the pro
ducts of foreign labor received in exchange for the'
exports of cotton, tobacco, and breadstuffs ? al
Considering the currency as legislators, wo may
ask how the public is benefited by the Use of bank
notes for money? It is 'easy to see how . the banks
profit by it, but what do the people gain by the
use of bank notes instead of the constitutional
coin. An equal amount of the precious metals is
sent abroad to make room in the currency of the
country for these bank notes. Gold and sit ver,which
constitute a sound and substantial currency, and
are actual wealth, aro them exchanged for the bank
notes which possess no intrinsic value, and ore
..constantly fluctuating in amount,. while their
conventional value is liable to cease at any
moment. *
ORAYIIi:AID
-Sir: Under
" While the National Government reserves 'to,
itself the exclusive power to coin money,. it should
also have reserved the exclusive right of regula
ting the currency, and of determining what that
currency should consist of. This is ono of the
highest attributes of sovereignty, which a Govern
ment should never surrender. While it is consi
dered an act of gross injustice on the part of a
Government. and of fraud on the part of indi
viduals, to debase the currency by adulteration of
the coin, it should he deemed equally unjust and
fraudulent to accomplish the same object by the
issue of a paper currency.
"If, at an early period, the question had been
sitbmitted to the Supreme Court, there can be
little doubt that their decision would have been
that the prohibition in the Constitution of the issue
of bills of credit by the States extended to the issue
of notes for circulation as money by banks estab
lished by the authority of the States.
"This power of increasing or diminishing the cur
rency of the country, distributed among nearly
fifteen hundred banks, having no unity of action,
,and controlled by no fixed prinaiple except the
love of gain and the fear of loss, is a dangerous
power, and ono which ought to be kept in cheek
by every possible restraint * * Any
legislation, therefore, which shall plane those in-
stitutions on amore stable basis, which shall tend
to prevent undue expansion nod contraction, and
which shall tend to avert then terriblo panics that
have so often recurred, will be certain to secure
the warns approval of the people."
All the above facts and principles have long
been Understood by thOusands,of our manufac
turers and mechanics here, and it must be grafi
fying to them td find them enunciated in a new
direction. It is an axiom, that banks, as they
exist in our 'country, and manufactories, are an
tagorristical—the former depending for largo pro
fits-on an expanded .and inflated currency and a
consequent system of high prices; the latter on
the very reverse, a sound contracted currency
and low prices. To the close observer, this will
ho made evident very shortly by great prosperity
in all our industrial pursuits. There are not now,
neither has there been for a long time, any great
amount of imports to interfere with them. This
is evident from-the immense falling off in the re
venue. Our manufacturers generally can now,
under a sounder and purer currency, produce
their manufactures at from twenty to forty per
cent loss cost than they could one year since,
which, so far as they are concerned, Is equivalent
to an additional duty of that amount ; and this
prosperity will continue, regardless of • tariffs, un
til the banks again become expanded, which they
certainly will do as soon as they can, laying the
foundation for another panic and explosion, and
to the - groat injury of all the industrial interests
of tho country.

possible precautions to prorent either the original
photograph or the modification of it from getting
- into the hands of the piiblio. But Ghemar impru
dently allowed Mme. O'Connell to - take a copy of
it, and she having made some alterations-In it,
caused MM. Cloupil, tho well-known print sellers,
to offer copies - of it for - sale:' Milo. Sarah pro
tested against this proceeding, and she; caused a
seizure to homed° of the copes unsold.' In eup
port of her action, certificates were podiu , m' from
Count do Nienweskerke, director general of the
Imperial museums, and from other artistic) au
thorities, to the effect that Mme. O'Connell's pho
tograph was undoubtedly a piraoy, and it was
contended that' the original photograph was not

to give to the poor any damages the tribunal might

COL. LUMSDEN, THE NEW ORLEANS PlCAY
use.—The cause of the arrest of Cot. Lunielen by
the New Orlears Vigilance Committee is thus ex
plained by, the Daily C,escent :
"In the'morning, Col. Lumsden, in company
with several-influential gentlemen, repaired to the
camp of the vigilante, to see if some amicable ar
rangement could not be made whereby - the threat
ened effusion of blood might be prevented. They
failed, and the party returned up town. Afterwards
Cot. L alone and unarmed, repaired to the sent
oC ' war, with the view of attempting
something on his own account.• He was palmed
through the linos and into the arsenal without dif
fleal,y or molestation: After getting inside, to his
surprise, be was arrested, and detained for about
half an hour. He was neither &link' nor' dis
orderlY,' as has been. erroneously reported, nor did
he do t.nything unbecoming a gentleman or a good
al tizen."
