In the Historical Magazine, for the present month, an explana tion is given, whiqh is prohably correct. It says, « The silver dollar was of various de nominations—tho Seville, the Pillar, the Mexi can and Lyon dollar.- As early as 1693, the value of those coins was regulated in New York by on order in Council. For brevity sake, they wore all called ‘ pieces of eight,’ at first written <ps of B.’ A further abbre viation was afterwards introduced: the mark for' pieces’ was run through the figure 8, and in this way our present mark originated.” The name of pieces of eight given to dollars was in European use long before 1693. In Ds Foe’s immortal story of Robinson Crusoe, Spanish dollars are called by this name. In tho Cyclopaedia of Commerce, (Harpers, N. Y., 1868,) it is stated thaj the dollar is “ the name of a silver coin of Spain ! and the United Statos; worth 100 cents. Tlie dollar appears to have been originally a German coin; and in various parts of Germany thorq aro coins of different values so called. Tho word corresponds with the Gorman thaler, the Low- German dahler, tho Danish daler, tho Italian tatters. All these words, together with our dollar, are dorived from tho namo of the Bohe mian town Joachim’s-Thal (Joachim’s Valley), whero, in 1518, the Count of Schlick coined silver plocos of an ounce weight. Those, in deed, are not tho first of tho kind coined; yot, as they were numerous and very good, they became generally known by the name of Joa chim’s-thaler, which is the Gorman adjective of Joachim’s-thal, nnd also Schliclcen.thaler, from the,name of the Counts. As these coinß wero in good repute, thalers were also coined in other countries, but of different value; thus originated tlie laub-thaler (leaf-dollar), Phil lipps-thaler, tho Swedish copper dollar, &c. In Russia, a dollar is called Jeppimock, ftom Joachim.” There is no gold coin out of tho United States of tho same value as our gold dollar. Tlie new 20 piastre gold piece of Turkey, worth 82 cents! is tlie noarest approximation. Thoro-aro several descriptions of silver dollars in Europe. In Austvla, tho silver six-dollar of Fhaxois IX, (1800,) the Hungarian rix-dollar, and Con vention florin aro respectively a trifle more valuable than tho American dollar. In Baden, and also in Bavaria, tho rix-dol lar also contains more silver than onr dollar. In Brunswick, nesse Cassel, Hanover, Hol land, Lnhec, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden, and Wurtemburg, the Convention rix-dollar is worth a trifle less than the American. Tho new English crown-piece is worth 17 cents more tlian tho American dollar. The half-florin is a trifle under our half-dollar. Tho French flvo-fraric pieco is a few cents more valuable than our dollar. In Genova, a coin called the Patagon ap proaches the value of our dollar. In Italy, the scudo is about os valuable- as the German rix-dollar. It circulates in the Duchies. The ’Neapolitan Ducat is worth less and the 12 Oarlini pieco worth more than onr dollar. The Polish old rix-dollar is more and the new of 1794 is of less value than our dollar. The Roman sen do is worth more than our dollar. __ Tho Russian rotible, of many coinages, (some as old as the time of Peter the Great,) j*worth-rather-more than seventy-flvo cents! theVahio at'whrch lt was teed by the authority of Congress. The Sicilian scudo Is nearly equivalent in value to *ur dollar. Tliero is no Portuguese silver coin worth as mnch as our dollar, to which tho Spanish dol lar, not long since driven out of circulation hero, corresponded very nearly in value. ' In Switzerland, the Ijucemo ecu of forty batzen is about as valuable as tho new English crown piece, and, therefore, of more worth than our dollar. Tho Tuscan pieces of ten Paoli aro a tritie more valuable than tho American dollar. As wo aro upon this coin question, wo may add for tho information of some readers, what are tho fineness, standard weight, and value of tho gold, silver, and copper coins of tho Uni ted States. Wo take it, as we have taken much of the data in this article, from tho Cy clopedia of Commerce, already referred to: Gor.D coins or 1855*56 double Eagle facie...- ift!f-Ff\c!e... iimrtor-EaKlo Dollar SILVER COINS O? 1855*55. lollar ...

Y.) Union is informed ■ that only two persons, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Young, both of whom lived on Grand Island, went over Niagara Falls last Thqrsdny. They had boon to Chippewa in a sail-boat where thoy drank a great deal. When in tho river, tho sail jibbed, Doing struck with a gust of ,wlna, and tho boat was up set. Thoy both managed to got hold of tho boat, and in this way floated over tho Fall. Johnson has been, a dissipated man, and has had two or tbreoyory narrow escapes. About five years age, ho fell asloop whilo rowing from Nayy Inland, and his boat providentially floated to tho hood of Goat Island, whore his oompanion, a boy, scoured it. Tho paragraph which we copied from The hock port' Advertiser contained, according ,to The union , several errors. • ■ , ; Letter from “Wanderer.” [Corroflpondence of The Pres*.] 'North Fork Camp, Creek Nation, August 22,1859, In my lost I gave you some account ,of the free and-easy mannerinivMch.the Indian intercourse law is evaded with, Reference to its prohibition, of the importation or sale oniqaor in the Indian coun try. I have not told, ail. s The poor wretches, when they cannot their ordinary whiskey, which is purchased at 30 or 40 cents a gallon, and sold.to them for five or ten dollars a gallon, madden themselves upon mustang liniment, pain killer, co logne, or any other like compound whloh they oan obtain by fair meant or foul. John Ball,nnd the essence of peppermint are tho chief evasions of the law. The latter is whiskey flavored with pepper mint, and tho fprmor is sarsaparilla with nine-' tenths whiskey, to,preserve the remaining tenth of sarsaparilla syrup. The law id a mockery, and tho inefficient means mode use of ttf carry it into exe cution are & pleasant attempt-at child's play. One or two white men bavo been killed lately by the Creeks, and the. murderers aro.at large with no effort to arrest them, but, on the contrary, every endeavor to screen them from justice, A Cherokee was killed,, and immediately.word was sent to the Creeks that unless the murderer was delivered up, a party would invade their terfitorysnd wfeak bloody vongeanoe. The hint Was not at first re garded, but when the war-whoop was opened add forces began to muster, the Creeks trembled and did what they ought to have done at 'first—their duty, and gave up the offendor. About the same time, n Creek killed Brookins, a white man, but a qhoctow oitisen by rpsrriage,. entering his house and shootiDg him through the heart as he lay upon a sick bed: Governor Sandy Walker evinced a disposition to take part with the Cherokees in the invasion of the Creek country unless the murderer was forthcoming, and he was immediately surren dered. He has since escaped, and is now at large within twenty-five mf.es of where I am writing this, publishing his amiable determination to settle for two more pale faces before he ehnffios off this mortal coll. It is probable a doored will be agreed to by the Indian head-men that he may be killed wherever found, which, if it is passed, will bo speedily executed. • Unless prompter notion be taken by the Indian agents or the United States marshals of the near est States, when white'mon are murdered by the Indians, thore is great fear that the tribes, seoiDg that a white man is not much missed, will,insensi bly grow into a state of war. Friday afternoon, as wo were nearing the Win chester mountains, we stopped at Brookins’ Spring to refresh our animals and ourselves before camp ing for the night. I sat and smoked and watched Indian women washing. It is a curious process, and after the Spanish practice. First the clothes are boiled In a huge pot, and then they are taken out and put'either upon the branoh of a fallen tree or a log Set upon legs, and pounded with a heavy wooden paddle. It was an aggravating operation to a young bachelor, who remembered that it is a washerwoman’s weakness to forget- to put on the buttonrsho invariably knocks off. In an Indian wash there is not a ghostly ohanoe for anything like a button ooming out unpounded to powder. After they are mauled, the clothes are rinsed, and then hung out to dry. And as you watch them flaunting in the wind—and pink is their prevailing color—you wondor who wears them, for you never soo them anywhere else than on clothes-lines. You never have attempted to get two heavy teams up the side of a mountain, and don’t know, of course, what a harassing job it is. It is only done by all hands getting cudgels and agreeing to shout and whip as loud and as long as possible. The teams are doubled. “Up she goes,” snd the shouting begins and the cudgels aro brought into aotive requisition. The wagon runs against a rook or treo, nnd only superhuman exertions are able to prevent it from being precipitated into a yawning abyss. For hours we worked, and at last bad both wagons upon the summit, where we encamped for the night, and as it was deliciously cool, had a tol orablo night’s rest. As we lay rolled up in our blanket, the moon shone eut, and the desire to get up and view the mountain by moonlight Was Irre sistible. The camp was . silent .as the grave, and the shadows danced upon the mountain sides as fantastically as the inhabitants of dreams. Anon and all was bustle. Indian ponies, scared at the wagons, which were half concealed with their white tops in the woods,,and the drunken Indians, who were returning with a,cargo of liqoOr—they travel on tbelr return by nighfabd lay by In the woods or hollows in the day—have much ado to keep their seats. A bellowing bull at this moment came upon the scene, and he dashed round with an in difference that made every one look lively, and rise from his sleeping place to dodge behind a tree. What with the barking jbf the dogs, the roaring of the bull, the jumping of the ponies, the rattle of the kegs and the gesticulations of all, both white and Indian, and profound objurgations in Creek, Choctaw and English, there was a noisy half hour. The bull was driven down the mountain, the Indians got their ponies fast, and we all tum bled off to sleep again. And, by the way, one of the advantages of Bleeping out in the open air in this region, where the fall ot dew each night is equal to a shower, is that you wako up in the inorn itg with your face washed to hand. However, it has its disadvantages. Two friends of mino camped late, and one of them throw himself upon what ho conceived a nice piece of ground. It rained in the night, and toward morning he waked to find him self being washed away, blankots and all. He bad lain down upon tho spot whoro two creeks joined, which woro dry beds the day before, but by tlio rain were filled up with two noisy torrents. You are lulled to sleep, to bo euro, by tho drone and the chlrrick, and the squeak and hoot, of every sort of night talkor, and there are no doors to lock nor high stairs to climb; but at the same time you are afflicted with tho buzz and bite of every bug, large and email, known to tho bug collection at tho Pa tent Office at Washington, and more. Thero are inseots so small that you can barely see them— somo largo enough to work a treadmill, some with whito wings and black bodies, and others of red, and groen and yellow, and all colors, And all combi nation of colors. They buzz and sting all night and all day, so that for myself I am spotted pink all over. Then there nTe ticks by the myriads, who Insert their heads into your skin and there stay fowling until they svrelf up and burst—unless hunted off soon, which Is dono a dozen times a day, and furnishes our chief lei3uro occupation. Tho land I have seen so far is fortile, and could not bo better disposed. There is plenty of rich prairie, and unlike Illinois, thore is plenty of fine timber. In the hands of the whitos it would be come a cotton and rico State. As it is, the land lies two-thirds fallow and the other third not quar ter cultivated. Oame of all sorts is abundant ex cept buffalo, which does not come within sixty or a hundred miles. When wo reached tho Canadian we called a halt and took a bath in the deep pool, whore tho North Fork unites with the main river. We noedod it. Wo changed clothes, too, for thoso wo had been wearing were worn and torn. Spruced up, wo soon got over the three nnd a half miles to North Fork town. It is inhabited chiefly 'by liconsed traders and free negroes. It haS perhaps sixty inhabi tants. I was treated with much kindness, and found thero several gentlemen who would have done credit to any society. Almost every hour of the day wagons like the Conestoga wagons, but not so heavy, ami horses, wont through tho town on their way to Texas. I loam that in the fall the line of emigration is toward, and that In the spring It is from Texas. It cannot be accounted for, but so It is. J\- man takes his wife and children, makog the trip, stops nt North Fork, nnd if ho is known, will borrow money or buy provisions nnd ongage to pay on his return. They go out to sottle, and in going suffer many privations. Yet when they re turn to Missouri, or Illinois, or Arkansas, it will not bo two years before they again try the experi ment and/get rid of the. surplus cash they have saved in the me&uwhile. You see the father of the family ahead with his long rifle, with perhaps his sons; then the mother and the smaller children, then the wagon. When- tired, the younger ones rido. They run risks of lifo and hoaltli every hour and every day from damp grounds and hostile In dians. Yet they are fond of this ohanging about. Yesterday was Sunday. At one end of tho town thoro was Baptist sorvloo and Methodist service, and at tho othor ball play and debnuchory. The proaohors aro Creeks, anil their exhortations are done into English by Interpreters. Nothing could have ’boon moro admirable than this religious ser vice. Tho contrast was dark. At ball play thore is .drinking, and oftentimes, it winds up in a fight. I saw two families most wofnlly intoxioatod. Upon the first horse wero the two husbands back to bock, and so drunk that thoy could soarooly muster voioo to insolently ask whore wo wore going, which wo answered by pointing ahead. Colt’s revolvers and Arkansas tooth-pioks ore tho) only useful orna ments, and ours produoed their proper effeot. The next horse was riddon by a woman with a child tied in a shawl about her nook, and she swayed back and forth and sideways so that I oxpected every momont to see her topplo off. But though bftd horsomon and women, they don’t fall off when drunk. The other woman was singing as sho stag gorod along in tho midst of half children from three years up.

A New Pocket Pistol. Mr. Sharp, who is famous all over the world for his admirable improvements in fire-arms, has reoenily invented and patented a “ breech loading repeating !’ pocket pistol—which is altogether the most convenient and effective weapon of the kind we havo over seen. The one which' we pxnmined and practised with—sending 6 ball with great accu racy of aim through a pino board of an inch in thioknoss—had four barrels-bored out of a solid and nearly square 'piece of tho very best steel- This part of the pistol aan, by touching a spring' 1 0 moved forward, and backward on a fixed sup port, which forms a portion of the steak. Each ohainber is ohargod with a copper cartridge, consisting of powder, boll, and cap,' all con tained in *ono compact littlo oapsulo, so that tho weapon may be instantly loaded by simply sliding forward tho barrels and Inserting tho cart ridges. When brought back torts place, the breach ot the barrels fits closely, against a permanent shield of iron, which is pierced in the centre so as to admit contact of the hammer with the cap on the end of each charge. The hammer is furnished with a rotating diso, which has a Sharp point, or tit, on one stdo of it. This tit penetrates the hole in the shield, and strikes and explodes tho. cap upon the head of the cartridge. The diso turns in the act of cocking, and, in making a complete revela tion, the tit on its side is made to hit successively the cartridge in o&ch chamber, until all are dis charged. This .revolving hammer-disc forms the chief excellence of tho invention. It is not only simple, safe, certain'and effective In opera tion; but, what is far more important, it avoids the necessity of shooting past' a joint in tho barrel, whioh creates a vent and diminishes, materially, the force of the shot. -The whole weapon weighs only eight and n half ounces, and is less liable to get out of repair than any more complicated fire arm of the kind. - ■ It is powerful enough to do dead ly execution at a long distance. It will not miss fire; it is better secured against going off accident ally, and it may bo carried very readily in the vest pook'et.

Editor : On Wodnoaday, the 81$t of Au gust, I read, in The J?re.M, .a very. interesting letter from Montreal, in whioh was given a beautiful description of the . Catholic church of Notre Daiuo, and the manner of taking up collec tions in that sacred edifice. The clergymen of Notre- Dame, os “ Glonvarloek” says, havo at tachisy who go to tho difforent pews in which tho ladles who &ro selooted to make tho colleotion are seated. These,ladies are escorted—each through a different aisle—by .those attaches, to collect money for ,the poor, or for other purposes. Then, after tiie ooUeotion is taken up, the ladies aro escorted ba!ok to their seats. I have resided in Franco several years, whero the same thing is done. I know, by experience, having several time? made collections in ohurobes, that tho salvors, when handed around by ladies, wore soon filled, whilo thoao of tho gentlomon would bo returned to tho altar almost empty. Our churches here, it is true, are smaller, than thoso at Montreal; but this would xnako no difference; for, instead of four or five ladies, ono ortwo would bo sufficient. Each lady could have her turn on alternate Sundays. I have no doubt many littlo gold dollars would fall into sftivers presented by ladios. white only a fow silyor pieces would be collected by gonllomon. How oould any ono be so hord-hcArted as to refuse a lady who, with a kind and smiling face, should, in presenting tho fclato, say, “ For the poor, if you pleas©;” or, “For tho churoh, if you please.” I feol porfeotly confident that nobody would refuse at least a small pioco of money. I am an admirer of The Press, -and read it’ every day. I was in hopes that some of your sub scribers who aro members of the C&tholio church would writb.a little article concerning this mode of collecting; as tt was not done, although a stranger, 1 attempted it myself, and ask of Mr. Forney, as a favor, toioserUt; : Your obedient, ;--TDHE W^EBp&f;:!iipsfe. l!

(Corretpoadaaoe of The Prete.} . - - SCPBWIGR Citt, August 30,1859. The Democratic Convention, .lately held in St. Paul. Minnesota,' unanimously nominated Georg* L. Becker, Esq., its candidate for Governor. Mr. Becker is very popular along the north shore, and was formerly, I believe, interested here. As wo are distant but a half mile from Minnesota, and nearly every resident owns either a pre-emption claim or town lot there, the interest felt in Supe rior City for the success of the Democratic candi date .may readily be accounted (pr.' The platform adopted, both in regard to National and State politics, is all that we could have asked, had its dictation rested upon ns. Frank, honest, bold, thoroughly Democratic, in all its assertion? and sug gestions,,tho principles and policy enunciated in it must command the hearty endorsement of tho De mocracy, and the respect of the whole people. The great principle of popular sovereignty, rights of naturalized citizens, are fully set forth, ns also the necessity of the railroad from St. Paul to Superior City. . * I mentioned in a former letter that tho county board had appointed, five thousand dollar* to re pair the military road, and that the contractors were at work; also, that Pine county, Minnesota, had made arrangements to put a force of men on to repair that portion of It coming within their ju risdiction. In - addition, I learn that'the proprie tors of Chcngw&tana tbis fall,to .repair the road from that place to Biackboof. .twenty-eight mites from Superior City. Messrs.

The superintendent of tbo Sant Ste. Marie ship canal. at the outlet of Lake Superior/ furnished the following report of the number of vessels, and tbo amounts ..of yalae of the freights passed through the canal.’ This trade is.already large, bnt the-extent of it ts not so likely to' surprise the public as the rapidity with whioh-lt increases. In the months of May, Juno, and July of 1853, total number of vessels were 305 ; the same months of 1859 were 527, with, a tonnage of 180,548 tons; in 1859 the shipments of copper for : the months of May. June, and July were 3,859Kt0n5, worth $l,« 832,150.50. The iron' ore shipped daring the same period was 32.945 tons, worth $156,880.51.. The fact is the whole Lake Superior, trade h yet in Us infancy, but it is beginning to bo developed. During a single year it bos tooreased more than fifty per cent., as those figures indicate. - A stranger visiting the lake, for the first time, would infer that Marqaette/jadging from the num ber of sailing vessels loading at the docks, was the most thriving ptoce. This is tho great shipping port for iron ore.
