Preparations for Fall Trade.
In a community tut stable and reliable as'
ours, it 15 Minya less difficult to calculate the
future from the, preeept,than at points where
the spirit of reckless speculation is more pre
valent. That the recent financial storm has
left its mark in Philadelphia in the felling of
eome of the mercantile cedars which ono°
held honorable rank in the flower and pride of
orii_trintiopidie; cannot be denied; yet, when
we - come to contrast the effects of this mone- 2
tary disaster, here, with its far more actions
consequences in other places,- the result is at
once a flattering comment upon the prudence
and sagicity of our own merchants. It is no
part of our policy to &image. the habits of
our, neighbors, Onflecti are stubborn things.
It is well known that for years past the hu
"slum of „yeti York has very much resembled
a pyramid resting upon its apex ; in other
w ordi; the business of that city has, through
5 -,lnisconceived notion of what true enter
'prise really. consists in, been for a long time
gradually attaining an expansion wholly un
warranted by the capital upon which it was
based. So generally, indeed, has this error
prevailed among our Manhattan neighbors,
that, as early as 1855, many of their largest
houses were driven into a compulsory curtail
ment of credit in order to' keep from founder
ing in
,the deep waters upon which they had
reekleitely ventured.' Under these circum
stances, the effects of, a crisis may readily be
imagined. The ship, overfreighted with book
accounts enormously beyond the requisite
cash basis to sustain this expansion, was, of
course, obliged to,'afiebor (to atop) at the
first intimation
,of the storm, and the conse
quence was that those who were enabled to
outride the hurricane without springing a fatal
leak, have found it necessary to reef sail to
such an extent as to make the regular term of
credit, to Western and Southern buyers the
exception, and either cash or very short paper
tho rule, in New York ever since then.
This sudden, and, as we have reason to be
lieve, general curtailnient of credit, is not the
legitimate offspring of a want of confidence,
but is enforced, from sheer necessity, toward
buyers of the molt unquestionable ability to
'pay. It is but doing jastice to our own mer
chants to say that In this respect Philadelphia,
to-dtif;presents an enviable contrast to her
more boastful 'sister, and one which the discriml.
nation of merchants novacomlngEast to make
their fall purchases will not fail to appreciate.
Nor is this the only great advantage over her
competitors aihiel'our city;this season, pos
sesses.., The solid condition of many of our
mercantile houses enabled them, to a great ex
tent, to'lai in ,their present stocks for cash,
which, of eourso, gives them corresponding
facilities in point of prices.-
In making the tour of some of our princi
pal- dry-goods jobbing houses a day or two
since, in order to - speak more advisedly with
reference to the present prospects of trade,
we wore highly gratified, and, we may say,
agreeably disappointed, to find that tho pre
parations are fully equal, if not superior, to
those of any previous season. We doubt, in
fact, if ever,. In the history of Philadelphia
her, fobbing trade , presented so commanding
and honorable' a front as at the present time.
If the crisis struck down some of the largest
and most influential firms, It has at the same
time put out of existence much of the sickly
undergiow4, and the consequence is that our
principal hones of long-established reputa
tion, as well al those who have heretofore
held a very respectable mediocre position,
have promptly , taken advantage of the grow;
ing-room thus afforded, the result of which, as
already intimated, is that our city today pre
sents a far more commanding and attractive
array of, business houses than at any foriner
period. It is a fact not generally known that
we have Ory-gdiSds jobbing houses in' this
city-z-and the same thing has doubtless been
realized in other . departments of trade—which
"did a busiiiesti last spring amounting to many
thousands more than their usual operations ; a
fact,. of Muse, attributable to causes above
oPeelfled.., We could'Ase name housesy and
intend to do soi in connection with others,
liefore we conclude this 'article, which have
'clirgedon
,their sides books, since the first
Aundred pages more up to the pre
sent date than they ehtered the corresponding
period last ,year. We make this statement
open personal ocular authority. The stocks
we have referred to—and the writer has some
Claims to be considered more than a novice .
in such matters 7 -are fully equal in their line
to any wo have Over examined, in this city or
out of it.. The palatial edifice of Messrs.
Morris L. Hallowell & Co. presents au array of
silks and fanny goods, from which one should
think even the 'most fastidious tastes could
he . readily, snited., r ~The'heitse of Herring &
Ott have also in store a splendid stock of this
class of goods. Of stocks largely combining
domestic staples with foreign fancies, those
in the extensive -establishments of Messrs.
smith, Willlnms , & Co.; J. T. Way & Co.;
Bareroft & .Co.; Wm. H. Brown & Co.; M.
Williamson & Co.; . Fithian, Jones, & Co.;
Siter, Pride; & Co.; 'PriCe; Ferris, & Co., and
other first-class houses we might name, may
be favorably mentioned, end in fact cannot
with impunity be overlooked by merchants
visiting the city to make their purchases. •
In the department of dress trimmings,
hosiery, and that class of goods generally,
Philadelphia can compete with any city In
the world: Of this class the houses of Messrs.
Burnett, Sexton, & Swearingen Siter, Van
Colin, & Glass ; Shaffner, Zeigler, & Co ;
Quinton, Campbell, & Co., and W. J. Horst
mann & Co., are among the most prominent,
the latter of which is more extensively en.
gaged in the manufacture of these articles
than any other establishment In this country.
In the line of lace goods and embroideries,
the importing house of Shapleigh, Rue, & Co.
may be regarded as a mammoth model, em
; bracing within It an endless variety of these
delicate and costly fabrics. The old house cf
.D 0 Coursey, Lafourcade, & Co., known all
over this continent as extensive importers of
cloths and every description of men's wear,
preientsnow as complete a display of this class
of goods as will be found anywhere west of the
Atlantic.
The houses we hair° here named are but
types of the different branches they represent,
and are, to a great extent, known as such all
over the country. The din and bustle of trade,
we may add, has already commenced along our
leading business thoroughfares In good earnest,
and from all we have been enabled to gather
from indications so far as developed, the trade
of the season now about opening is likely to
result entirely satisfactory to our merchants
as a whole. With the advantages above stated,
and the superior facilities for speedy transpor
tation, a largely increased trade must annually
accrue to. Philadelphia, if her merchants are
but true to their own interests.
Plenty Of Money . in the Country.
.'The article we copy from the New York
Herald, in another column, on the competi
tion between capitalists for the now Govern
ment loan, is full of hopeful suggestions.
One of those cannot to impress every
reader t that while there - is a vast surplus of
money in the United States, there is just as
much determination, on the part of the peo
ple, te turn their backs upon doubtful enter
privis.' • If we look around us, and reflect upon
the rottenness and corruption of many of
the favorite enterprises of the day—or those
called favorite enterprises a year ago— we
reap here a lesson full of admonition.

The iriaige Record,the RebubllOanjiprnal of
Chester county, taketiour-Washlngton corms
polident, c a i Occasiatittl" to task for the state
teed that Mr. BARRET; the member elect from
the 'St. Louie (Missouri) Oongressiisnal dis
trict, Was "a thorough Douglas man, and
could not have been elected without the vote
of the DOUGLAS Democracy of St. Louis."
The object of the Record is exhibited in the
following comment upon the statement of
"Occasional" :
"Thus it has been everywhere. The Douglas
men, while condemning Buobanan, unite with his
friends against Americans and Republioana!
"The defeat of Blair, the only free-soil mem
ber of Congress from the slave States, by the
Douglas men, who united with the Lecomptonites
for that purpose, will open the eyes of the Peo•
plea Party, who aro sought to be used as a oat's
paw by politicians of this stripe."
The end to be attained by those comments
is transparent enough. It is to excite party
feeling against Joint MOKBIAN in the counties
of Chester and Delaware. The Record cares
little for Mr. Bram, away off in Missouri
It hopes, however, by arousing old prejudices
in its own vicinity, to assist the Lecompton-
Hes in their war upon Jens HICKMAN. " Oc
casional" stated a fact in passing, which bore
upon a distant canvass; and to use this state
ment against Mr. HICKMAN, in his gallant
struggle, displays a good deal more parti
sanship than patriotism. Our friend 'of the
Village Record will do his cause no good
by these expedients. His own party in Ches
ter county, in their very last Convention, en
dorsed the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty,
which is the basis of Mr. HICKMAN'S case.
Instead of applauding this concession, the
Record misunderstands Mr. HICKMAN'S sharp
ly-deflned position, and seems to be ambitious
of assisting his opponents ! The Record knows
as well as we do, that if ever there was
a public man entitled to the support of a
whole people, that man is Jonx HICKMAN. It
knoVirs his sincerity, his courage, and his ut
ter contempt of selfish objects. It knows
that if he had yielded to power, power would
gladly have honored and rewarded him.
Inspired by personal feeling on the one
hand, and by the doubtful motive of deceiving
Mr. , BtrenANAN after a life-time of personal
and public war upon his character, STRICK
LAND, BaINTON, ICKEEVER, and RonosoN, bid
for liformies head and for Presidential patro
nage, and chuckle over the aid and comfort of
the " Village Record"—and all because Mow-
MAX has preferred the better course of opposing
the Kansas policy of the Administration. His
independence and his integrity have awakened
in the hearts of thousands the warmest feel-
ings of admiration and respect, and have, at
the same time, extinguished or post
poned many factions party prejudices. The
Lecompton forces rely on the help of the Re
publicans who follow the lead of the Village
Record to defeat him. They may be gratified;
and if they, are, we shall not envy the reflec
tions of our excellent cotemporary, who, to
carry out what ought to be extinct party pre-
judices, assists to cut down one oE the most
courageous public men of our day and time,
to disappoint the wishes of the good and true
voters of all parties, and to help the very in
terest against which his journal professes to
be mainly arrayed.
CO'. The spirited report of the Danite
movement in Chester county. against Joni;
HICKMAN, so overwhelmingly rebuked by the
people on Tuesday last, will bo road with In
terest. Several gentlemen, present on the oc
casion, say that Timinteat had the people with
him almost en masse, and that the offide-holders
fled in dismay before the popular wrath. As a
significant' incident, we may state that every
one of the opponents of RICKMAN at this
meeting, from Judge Bum to the ranter
MoNAonen, bait been the personal opponent of
President SucHANAN. On the other hand,

Portuguese was seriously injured about the head

being no polloo about, the assailant escaped.
The New Government Lonn--Whnt the
Competition for it Shows.
The opening of the bids on Monday last for the
now United States loan of ten millions of dollars
reveals the existence of some curious and instruc
tive feats in our financial circles.
The first point that strikes' us on examining the
list of bids is the discordance of opinion among the
leading financiers as to the market value of a Uni
ted States five per cent. loan with fifteen years to
ran. The next point is that our domestic) bankers
have a higher and more hopeful estimate of
the market value of the stook than that
entertained by the foreign bankers and those
who are generally Supposed to hold inti
mate relations with parties in Europe. Bel
mont and Riggs offered to tako the entire loan
at 3.77 premium, Rittenhouse A Co. proposed to
do the same at 8, and some of the German bank
ing houses bid from. 2 6 to 4 premium. The
award of the loan hes been made at an approx.
iutato average of 4 85 premium, mostly to parties
who are 811pm:teed to want it for domestio
investment. The amount of the bids was for
about four -times the sum required ; and we
believe this 'is the first time that American
capitalists have over taken ono of our nov
ernment loans, to the almost entire exclu
sion of foreign bankers, by outbidding thorn ;
and the fact leads to some curious reflections.
The reason of this may bo attributed to two
causes : First, the groat !memo of capital among
us, and its concentration without employment at
the centres of ttade. Second, the discredit of in
dustrial enterprises managed by corporate asso
ciations as safe investments. We are inclined to be
live that the latter Cause has had more to do with
the unexpected high premium at which the loan has
been taken than any other. The accumulation of
money in our bank vaults Is more owing to the tem
porary stagnation oftrade, and its Trent of employ.
ment in that direction, than to the accumulation of
capital among no. Yet there is no denying that
money has largely increased in abundance among
utilizing the last ten years, while the facility of
procuring it has tended to imulate the spirit of
extravagance and bad faith that haseharaoterieed
many of our industrial associations.
To this latter reason do we attribute the evident
increase among us of that class of capital which
seeks safe inveetment rather than a high rate of
interest. The fraud and deceit which the recent
financial revulsion has shown to exist, both in the
expenditure of capital and the_payment of exorbi
taut and unwarranted dividends, have disgusted a
large•portion of the minor capitalists, and turned
them in an especial manner from investment in
railroad securities. Pherhapa to the same 05050
may be attributed the apparent anomaly that some
of our State stocks command high premiums in
the market, while others paying the same rate of
interest are below par. Publie confidence In
theta State Investments does not imam° so fast
as does capital; and the consequence is, that a
few favorite stooks command premiums to which
they do not seem entitled by' any pre-eminent
merit. It is no doubt the pressure of this cone
donee upon our domestic bankers that hasplaced
them in the foremost position as bidders for the '
new loan, to the great surprise of Wall street.
Each has found in the circle of his customers a I
portion that prefer United States stooks at five per I
cent. interest to State or associate securities at
a much higher figure; and itis the aggregation of
these in separate bide for the publio loan that has
shown the tone of the publio mind.
The supposition that is generally entertained—
that the Government will come into the market for
the rest of the loan authorised by Congress—had,
no doubt, an effect in keeping down. the rates of
premium bid for this one. lad it been definitely
known that Mr. Cobb will not require the rest of
the amount authorised by Congress, the rates of
premium at which the present stook would have
been taken would have been much higher than
those obtained. We now believe that the prices
of this stook will feel the effect of the fact so pal
pably put in evidence by the offer of forty millions I
of dollars when ten only were required ; and that

Correspondence of The Prem.]
Capt. Meige is pushing on the work preparatory
to the introduction of the water from the Great Falls
of the Potomac into this oily with the utmost en
ergy. He expects - G:1 introduce the water by the
first of December. What a blessing this will be to
Washington ! The great want of the pity is pure
water. Persons are compelled to use cisterns, and
old-fashioned primpeare to be found all over the
town. A great fire might destroy more property,
public and private, if it got headway, than the
whole appropriation expended by . Meige would
amount to. Besides, the advantage in the summer
season would be immense. The improvement will
cost a good deal of money, but if it cost is much
more it would not be out of place. Lot us have
water, and plenty of it.
It will turn out that Governor Cumming is right
in his course in reference to the Mormons in Utah.
Mark my prophecy. How was be to manage
these polygamists unless by conciliating them,
and treating them well? Their day Is over.
There will be trouble in managing the details of
course, but the bubble is exploded. The chief
credit is due to Colonel wane, el Pennsylvania.
He did the work. Ile struck the blow; and be
made Governor Cumming acceptable to Brigham
and the Saints. Your namesake, Dr. Forney, has
been a mast efficient agent in the same direction,
and I am glad to say that he stands very high in
the Interior Department. The Seoretarrepeaks
very kindly of him.
Why is it that the Democrats of Bettis pay the
slightest respeot to the idea of nominating Jehu
Jones for Congress? He has no claims upon any
Democrat on the score of being regularly nomi
nated. The Richmond Enquirer distinctly charges
that Jones is at work writing to Illinois, and
that his letters are there now, to the effect that
the regular Demooratio organization of that State
should be repudiated, and that anybody should be
eleoted but Douglas. Surely no usage can bind
Democrats to stand by such a mercenary. Despised
by most of the men who know him for hit let & of
all manly qualities, for his - intellectual in
feriority, and for his eager hankering for gain, it
to amazing that such a man should be sent back to
Congress from Pennsylvania, whose interests he
has always deserted, and whose public opinion he
has outraged in the last session of Congress by
his whole ' course. If the truth were known, it
would, I suepeot, turn out that he is interested in
nearly every speculation that has been started in
Washington for five years past. Judge Douglas,
in his speech at Paris, Illinois, denounced Wen
dell, who controls the Union here, and who was
elected printer of the House in 1856 by Republi
can votes; but he did not seem to know that Jones
is regarded hero as a sort of dependent even upon
Wendell. No nomination can bind a Democrat to
vote for a man like Jones. Let us not have an
other man in Congress like Matteson, who was ex
pelled for his corruption.
I perceive that the Richmond Enquirer takes
strong ground in favor of the admission of Kansas
as a State of this Union whenever•her people pre
sent themselves with a Constitution, Jco. The Le
comptonites are very full of joy over the election
in Missouri. They forges that this eleetion4s no
verdict in favor of Lscompton. On the oontrary,
as I have said before, Barrett, of the StAzouis
district, is a friend of Douglas, and it is notorious
that in other districts, from which Democrats have
been Blotted, they are neither disposed to make a
test upon Locompton, nor opposed to Douglas.
They are too near Illinois for that. There is just
now a groat deal of this feeling in the South. Hon.
A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, who has visited Cin
cinnati and Chicago within the last two weeks, did
not hesitate to say ho was favorible to Douglas,
and to declare that the President had as mush
right to abolish slavery in Georgia as he had to
interfere in the loot polities of Illinois.

The talk is telegreph, and nothing else at pre
sent. Cyrus W. Pield is the lion of the day ;
though there are a few.ithe remember that Morse
was the originator of the system itself, that the
best years of his life were a struggle to accomplish
his scientific purposes, and that he has never yet
been adequately remembered in connection with
the great achievement of making the lightning
a servant of man.
Next to the submarine telegraph, New York

Ruggles, makes this his pet project, and mapy are
to sanguine fie to hone for_ aanewl
nines tor" Um boats, and a competition thereby
with the Central Railroad through its entire
length. If steam can be permanently employed,
without injury to the works, our canal ?evening
may soon be a source of permanent income to the
State that will make every citizen a friend to the
" big ditch," and take the question of improve
ments entirely out of politics.
The great musical festival at Jones's Woods it
one of our " attraotions" this week, and there is a
growing inclination to these out-door sooial gather

population. Suoh semi-rural amusements do good,
and, rightly supervised, will bo the moans of as
similating all classes of citizens in the taste for
innocent recreations.
The case of Elliott, the British fraudulent
storekeeper, now in Eldridge-street jail : was
brought before the Supreme Court this morning,
by the motion of prosecutor's counsel for an ex

tion, and a delay of another week was subsequent
ly granted.
The steamship St. Louis, chartered to take
United States troops to Aspinwall, arrived this

A large meeting of members of the bar took
place at noon to-day, in the Superior Court rooms,
and Judge Bosworth delivered a eulogy upon the
late Judge Duer. The powerful judges and lim

A man named William Baker, charged as one
of the Baltimore bank robbers, was this afternoon
given up on requisition of the Maryland autho

A lynch case come off in " Dutolitown,” a

PHILADELPHIA FIREMEN ON .t VISIT TO
WASIIINGTON.—A delegation of the ruftern
Liberty Rose Company, of this city, oonei of
sixteen members, have been on a visit w our
National Capital, 'where they are stopping at
Browh l aßotel. They ware received at the depot
by a committee of the Northern Liberty Fire Com
pany of Washington, on Monday, and wonted to
their, quarters. After spending a 'short time in
making the necessary arrangements, they - were
escorted by the 'committee to the hail of the
Northern Liberty engine house, where a compli
mentary ball was given in their honor.
The engine -hone was brilliantly lighted up,
and the main hall was beautifully decorated.
Shortly after nine o'clock the dancing commenced,
and was kept up until a late or rather early hour
next morning. •
At two o'clock Tuesday afternoon a beautiful
frame, embellished with various emblematie de
vices, and surmounted by a large carved eagle, ,
bearing a scroll With the motto, " Where duty
calls 'tie ours to obey," was presented to the
Northern Liberties Fire Company, at their hall,
by the visitiese Bremen. This frame contains the
portrait of Mr. 13. Rainer, of the Philadelphia,

frame, containing sixteen other likenesses of
young men attached to tha . crompany a neatly
framed plate of the Goddess of Liberty; and, as a
further exhibition of good feeling, they also gave
a beidtiful sliver pitcher and pair of goblets to
James Wait), Esq , president of the Northern
Liberty company No. 6, of Washington.
The Presentations were made through Mr. A.
Moles, Jr., who had been called upon to perform
that duty, which he 'did In a very graceful and
eloquent manner. Mr. Moire, although not a
fireman himself, drew a glowing picture of the
noble character of this aim of our citizens, who,be
believed, were as true heroes as any warden that
ever trod the battle-fleld. Hie remark* were re
ceived with great applause. After these presenta
tions the guests partook of a sumptuous repast at
the ball.
A FEMALE F/OHT.WO were the uninvited
speotetor of a most disgraceful fight britween two
women, yesterday morning, in the neighborhood
of Seventh and Fitzwater streets. One of the,
parties—and somewhat the better man of the two.'

the poetical language of a friend of slurs, was," a
briok"—at least she conduoted herself as though
she had a briok in her bonnet ;'but, notwithstand
ing she was "how-come-yon-so," she wee "some"
on a fight, and proved an over-match. for her an
tagonist in a steady; stand-to encounter. The
weaker Party, • however, although she • did net

battle is not to the . strong," at least nega
tived the idea. that " the • race' is not to the
swift ;" for, had not she sought safety in flight.
she must' certainly have come off second-beet in
the set-to. Although
,the other party could not
follow, the anathemas that she hurled towards her
retreating fee were enough to crush her with their
vehement power. The scene occasioned conside
rable merriment to a large and promiscuous crowd
of spectators.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
The Money Market.
PHILADELPHIA, Auguit 11, 1858.
The stook market was weak to-day, and to all
appearance, even solid securities could not have
been sold to any large amount without en abate
ment from previous prices. Reading Railroad
stook experienced a further decline of + per tent.
The money market is imperceptibly but steadily
tightening, a sure indication of a healthier state
of feeling in business circles, and of a coming re
lease from the apathy in trade.
The grain harvest is now nearly all hours - d, and
notwithstanding the many complaints that have
bean in circulation of damage from. rust, from
weevil, from floods, and other calamities, wo have
no doubt, after examining the returns from various
quarters, that there has been safely garnered a
more than average yield. Large quantities of
wheat remaining over from last year, add - to the
supply, and will tell upon the price. The corn
orep will undoubtedly be considerably later than
usual, and may suffer from frost, but even with a
heavy loss of corn from any cause, the total agri
cultural production of food-growing lands will this
year yield more than the average of formeryears.
The reaction of plenteous production upon trade
and commerce is too well understood to enlarge
upon ; the only question is how soon the effect will
be perceived, and the probably correct answerJs,
very soon indeed.
On Sunday might last the Hatters' Bank,Bethel,
Connecticut, was entered by robbers, who carried
off $86,000, nearly an of it in bills of the hank.
The bank officers caution the public against re
ceiving the bills until further notice. It appears
that the robbers bossed their way into the first part
of the bank building; they then ripped up the
carpet, and, by Cutting a hole through the floor,
got into a coal-hole or cellar underneath the yanit,
and thence they cut through the bottom of the
vault, and succeeded in getting some $B,OOO In
specie and bills of ether banks, together with
nearly $90,000 in bills of this bank. They proba
bly effected their first entrance on Saturday
night, and had Saturday night and Sunday to
work in ; and, as their operations damaged the
leek so that the bank officers could not unlock it,
the robbery wea not discovered - until. Tuesday
night.
