BUBBOIYS, Principal PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1861. Cjjt f ms. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1891. James Fenimore Cooper. Assuredly an author’s own works constitute a more suitable and permanent monument than “ storied urn or animated bust.” The fittest memorial to Cooper, the American novelist, is tho superb edition of Ills novels and romances, richly illustrated by Dot-ley, the publication of which, commenced thirty-two months ago, lias now been completed by the issue of Pre caution—the author’s earliest work of fiction, and curious, not only on that account, but also because it exhibits very little of the ability which its author displayed in his sub sequent works. Precaution and The Spy were both written in 1821, but there is as much dif ference in their merit, as exists between By ron’s namby-pamby Hours of Idleness and the picturesque grace and deep thought of his Chilie Harold. A word or two concerning this new and su perb edition, which "W. A. Townsend & Co., of New York, have brought out, in nearly three years, with undeviating regularity. Paper, binding, and typography, arc all of the bust, and the illustrations, wholly from original de signs by Darlev, have been ably engraved, on steel and wood, by ttie best artists in the coun try. We believe that Mr. John M. Butler, of this city, may be credited witli the excellent printing of the steel engravings. These con sist of sixtv-two drawings, a portrait of Coo per alter C. L. Elliott, and a vignette, by John A. Hows, of Otsego Ilall, Mr. Cooper’s resi dence. These two last (portrait and dwelling) arc given with the closing volume of tho series. The congeniality and sympathy between artist and subject made Darley’s drawings so spirited and successful that tho publisher de termined to secure their being suitably repro duced and multiplied by the burin. They ap plied to them the brilliant and effective style of engraving which the demands of our bank note system have rendered unequalled, but which, from its great labor and cost, had beeu almost exclusively confined to bank-notes. They employed the leading artists of this effective school, and this was “ the first at tempt, it is believed, to introduce the deep cutting and solid lining of a bank-note die into book-work, and was only accomplished at a cost fully double that usually paid for book illustrations of a similar character.” It was a happy, and wc hope it may turn out to be a remunerating thought, to reproduce Darley’s Vignettes in a scries of Artist’s Folios—con taining impressions on India paper before let tering ; each steel engraving being accom panied by a “ tail-piece ” engraved on wood, and an extract from Cooper describing tile scene illustrated by the artist. Parley’s Cooper's Vigncltes Is now completed in eight Parts, each containing eight engravings on steel and as many on wood, with accom panying letter-press—making 128 vignettes in all, and a more beautiful library and draw ing-room companion cannot be found. Of course artists and other print-collectors will enrich their portfolios from so rich a source. The biography of Cooper is yet unwritten. Judging from her recollections, given as run! ning notes upon extracts from tire novels, in the magnificent volume, published last Christ mas, under the title of Pages and from the writings of James Fenimore Cooper, no one is more worthy, from her relationship, in formation, and ability, to write the life of one who, in Europe, was usually spoken of as “the American Walter Scott.” It was considered proper not to allow Cooper’s novels to go forth, in a splendid series, without some biographi cal notice, and therefore the publishers have prefixed to Precaution, the author’s first work, the Discourse on the Life, Genius, and Writings of J. Fenimore Coo/ter, delivered at New York, February 25, 1852, by Bryant, tho poet, at a Public Memorial Meeting in honor of Mr. Cooper, over which Daniel Webster presided. fvur — 3 - w.t.. x. . the lStli Taiyr • tember, 1789, Cooper was removeu in infancy, to Cobperstown, N. Y., entered the U. S. Navy in 1805, but left the sea soon after his marriage in 1811. His boyish days wore spent on his father’s property on the shore of Lake Otsego, N. Y., which was then almost an unbroken wilderness. He liad quitted home, in liis teens, to complete his education at Yale College, where he was the youngest pupil, but left it at flic close of his third year, without taking Ills degree. Ho was only six teen when he entered the navy, and twenty two when he married and abandoned liis pro fession, in which he had risen to the rank of lieutenant. Adopting a farmer’s life in Westchester county, N. Y.—or rather becoming what John Bull calls a “ gentleman farmer”—Mr. Cooper was a reader and a thinker during the first ten years following his marriage, on New Year’s Day, 1811, with the sister of the late Bishop Do Lancev, a woman of many 'accomplishments and refined tastes. He used to road new books aloud in his family circle, and was fascinated by the works of fiction which Scott, in those years, was pouring forth with a rapidity which [ astonished tho world. One evening, when ho | was reading an insipid novel of the day, he i exclaimed, as he yawned over its dull pages, “ I could write a better story than this my self.” His wife replied “You had better try.” lie took up bis pen, wrote a good deal in pri vate for a few days, and then read the opening chapters of Precautionio his wife. This gentle critic encouraged him {o go on, others who read the tale in manuscript also encouraged him, and the issue was that, on the 25tli of August, 1820, from the book-store of Mr. A. T. Goodricli issued Precaution; or, Preven tion is Belter than Cure — poorly printed on tho crusse dark paper of tlio time, and literally overflowing with blunders of spelling, syntax, and punctuation. The work, critically viewed, is a feeble fiction, on the conventional plan of the novels of society which were then current in England. The scene, characters, and inci dents wove all English—weak copies of poor originals. It passed, in America, as an Eng lish novel, and, reprinted in London, its Ame rican authorship was neither avowed nor sus pected. Thirteen months after Precaution appeared, Wiley and Ilalsted, Now York, published The Spy, a Tale of the Neutral Ground, —the authorship of which was not avowed, at first. Cooper, like other authors, had broke, in his second work, from imitation into originality. We do not even except the thrilling com positions of Charles Brocden Brown, when we say that The Spy was the best and most thoroughly American story published. Mr. Bryant committed a great and unac countable chronological error when lie said, in Iris “ Discourse,” that contemporaneous with the appearance of The Spy were Irving’s Sketch-Book, Ilalloek’s Fanny, his own (Mr. Bryant’s) poem of The Jlges, Lockhart’s Valerius, and Scott’s Antiquary, “ published .simultaneously with it.” We know, frgifl Lockhart, that “ early in May, 1816, ap peared tho novel of The Antiquary,” and Miss Cooper saj r s that The Spy was published “on the 17th of September, 1821.” Is this a simultaneous publication ? Cooper paused for a brief space before lie next appeared in print. He now struck into a new line, —into two realms, indeed. The Pioneers, in which the prairie and the wilder ness, the trapper and the Indian w ere intro duced, and The Pilot, which commenced the fascinating sea romances which, as much as “ The Leather-Stocking ” series, have made Cooper’s fame, were published in 1823. Hatty Bmnppo and Long Tom Coffin ftl'9 dif ferent creations—but as original as any in fiction. Lionel Lincoln, a Revolutionary story, fol lowed in 1825, but did not raise its author’s reputation. He recovered himself, in the fol lowing year," by The Last of the Mohicans, in which Leatherstocking Was again introduced, and, in the same year, 1820, went to Europe, where he remained seven years, chiefly re siding in France. In this time, besides some other works, he .wrote The Red Rover, The Prairie, The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish, The Water-Witch, The Bravo, The Heidenmaur, and The Headsman, some of which rank among liis best prodictions. The Manikins, published after his return home, was a failure, and Home ward Bound and Home as Found, though popu lar in Europe, (the rescue of tho Montauk, after its wreck on the African coast, is de scribed vfith as much power as‘Cooper ever put forth,) gave little satisfaction here. Betwein 1838, when Cooper returned home, and 186(j, when liis last work appeared, ho publisliecj twenty novels. Among those, a few are it bis best manner, such as The Path finder and Tie Deerslayer, in which Leather stocking again was brought on the scene; The Two Admires, and Wing-mid- Wing, naval tales of consfterable merit; Wyandotte, a ro mance of the,woods; Oak Openings, and Ways of the Hour, t A few, such as Mercedes of Cas tile, Jack Tie\, and The Sea Lions, were com paratively poll- productions. After his Iturn from Europe, Mr. Cooper committed tlximistakc of writing three novels bn tho Anti-Riit question. These, The Chain ■bearer, Saiunstie, and The Red Skins, appeared in 1845-6, aixi have the fault, which ran through llariyt Mavtincau’s stories, called Illustrations of Political Economy, of having too evidently beqn written to support a theory. In these particular novels, Cooper was more didactic and diffisc than in any other tales— but liis great faut, as a novelist, was liis prac tice of delaying the course of action to philo sophize diftuselyiupon first principles. Besides thirty-two novels and romances, eaefejust published in three volumes, produced in ®iriy years, Nr. Cooper also published The Travelling Bachelor, or Notions of the Ameri cans\ in two volumes j Gleanings in Europe, in ten’"volumes; The American Democrat; His tory! of the United States Navy, in three vo lumes ; Letter to his Countrymen, and Ned Myers, half faw and half fiction, in three vo lumes. This makes a total of 110 volumes— industry unsirpassed, l>v any other man of genius, Scott excepted, in our time, though Dickens and Bulwcr arc close upon the American and the Scot. Cooptr, a little before his death, contem plated 'mother Leather-stocking novel, had written flirt of a work on the Towns of Man hattan, (Which his daughter has been expected to compete.) and had furnished a book on the Middle plates of the Union, principally illus trative cT their social history, of which, how ever. ndtraces were found among his manu scripts.; It bul remains for us to add that Mr. Cooper was an excellent family-man, in the fullest re lations pf that position, and liis faults were those impulse and temper. Withal, lie was a just flan —determined to have his full rights; equal]?. resolute in conceding even more than their full rights to others. Above all, he stand) high before the world the chief of American novelists. Educational. Philadelphia has deservedly the name of afford ing tic best educational facilities of any city in the Unioi.

From the “ Niagara.” [Correspondence of The Press.) U- S. Steam-Fricate Niaqaua, 7 Off S. W. Pass or Mississippi, > August 19, 1861. ) Wc have been astounded here at the sad disaster at Bull Run. The rebels’ account of it was kindly furnished by fastening a copy of one of their papers on a dog’s neck and send ing him across from the navy yard at Pensaco la to Fort Pickens. During our stay off Pickens little occurred out of the usual routine until the night before our departure for this place, the 3d instant, when, at the instance of Flag Officer Mcrvine, a boat expedition was got up comprising two boats from our ship and fottrfrom the Colorado , under the command of Capt. Bailey, of the latter, for the- purpose of going inside and “ seeing what they could see.” The dark night was propitious for the undertaking. At the word of command we all started, “ Indian fashion ” from the ship, and after a long, strong pull of about two hours against a strong current arrived inside of tho island. Then commenced “ the long measured stroke,” and in a short time we arrived along side the floating dock, which is anchored off the navy yard. At this point we all halted, where a whispered consultation was held, and it was determined to endeavor to cut out a schooner which was lying at the navy-yard wharf. Then, with muffled oars, we pulled to within a few feet of the yard, when our pro gress was arrested by the sound of voices, and, ving upon our oars, wc were for a time highly amused by the conversation of a sentry who was trying to convince his “ Milesian ” friend that “ Jeff. Davis knew what he was about.” Unfortunately, at this moment he cast his eyes in the direction we were, and by a* vivid flash of lightning discovered us. In a moment the alarm was given, rockets were sent up and answered all along their line of fortifications, and “ the long roll of the drum” brought them all to quarters. We hurriedly pulled off in the surrounding gloom, expecting every moment for them to open fire, but for some "unaccountable reason they did not, hut illuminated their batteries all along the coast, making a fine mark for the guns of Pickens and the shipping. We at last pulled back to the ship, sleepy, sad, and tired of tho night’s adventure, only having accomplished one thing, that was, set them more on their guard and placing greater obstacles in our way sliould we at any time wish to make a landing, although I learned afterwards that it was a plan set afoot by General Brown, of Pickens, in order to tempt them to fire theirs? shot, anu - vg was we u prepared for thorn, he hai mg keprau j. ii,,.;,. nri llls until after he saw the failure of the objeerr i rum . indications wc came to the conclusion that Fort Mcßea has lieen entirely deserted by the rebels. The reason, I suppose, its too exposed position, for they are ever desirous “ to be let alone.” The following day, Sunday, 4th inst, we, by orders of the flag ofliccr, got under way for this place. The following morning wc came to off Mobile bay, where the Huntsville and Mis sissippi are stationed. There wc learned that the Huntsville had chased a privateer steamer, which was cruising around in shore, and had had the impudence to fire into her, but for the shallowness of the water nothing could be done. After firing five shell at her, (her whole slock, please make a note for the benefit of ordnance department,) the chase was given up. Wc got under way from that place during the afternoon, and wove off Ship Island' that night, eammunicating with the Massachusetts, there stationed, and learned that the rebels had thrown up a fortification on the island and mounted fifteen guns, their force being about COO men. From there we proceeded to Pass a l’Outre, where we arrived the following morning, giving a mail to the Brook lyn ami St. Louis, but learned nothing further than they were anxious for something to do. After bidding them “ good cheer,” we kept on to our present anchorage, where wo arrived late in the afternoon of the Gth inst., finding the Powhatan, who reported everything “ in statll quo,” and were all anxious for tile “ news.” After taking up our position at this point wc commenced making active preparations for a reported attack the rebels contemplate making. tipon us, they having been engaged for* some time, as we understand, in fitting out every available craft in their possession. We paid a visit to the Southwestern light house, but could glean no intelligence from New Orleans, except that the authorities there had sent down for the lights, glasses, fee., be longing to the Government, but fortunately they had been anticipated by Commander Porter, of the Powhatan, who had seized them himself. On the 12th inst. a sail hove in sight, which upon a nearer approach proved to be 11. B. M. steamer Desperate, from Vera Cruz bound to Tampa, visiting the blockade, but oi* our inti mation that we desired no lengthened stay, she left. The following morning, at daybreak the mast-head look-out on board of the Poui hatan discovered a schooner to the southward, close in shore, apparently at anchor. On send ing a boat to her, she proved to be the schooner Abbie Bradford, with a prize crew on board of her, she having been captured by the privateer Sumter, on the 28th of July, off Porto Capella, and sent to this port. She was waiting to try and rim the blockade under the cover of night. From information received by our captain from her crew, he thought it ad visable to communicate with the flag officer, so the Powhatan was despatched at once to Fort Pickens, taking the prize crew in irons, and a letter bag found; and I suppose before this readies yon, you may set it down for a fact that the “ stars and bars” no longer float from the gaff of the Sumter. The Abbie Brail ford, after receiving another crew, got under way and shaped lior course for Philadelphia under charge of Mr. Stevens, sailmalter of tho Powhatan. On the 15tli the steamer Rhode. Island arrived, the first of a regular line established for car rying the mails and fresh provisions to the squadron, and after giving us our allowance of letters, fresh meat, potatoes, and ice, kept on to the southward to do the South Carolina, off Galveston, the same way, and in anticipa tion of her arrival here to-morrow on her re turn I write. This is a convenience wc have long felt the need of here—a regular mail—as on previous occasions our letters were some times as long as two months in reaching us. The past two days have been pretty cool, and blowing rather fresh. The season is near at hand for hurricanes, and I fear that, if this blockade continues through the fall and win ter without our talcing some of the harbors on the coast as safe anchorage for our fleet, Go- Tornmont willlrnve rather a Flemish account of some of the sailing vessels they are sending down here. They are out of date as war vessels, and wc should have nothing now but steamers. Last night, some of the inhabitants on the “sacred soil” of Louisiana amused them selves (supposing us to be doubly vigilant, there being a fine fair breeze for outward bounders) sending tip “ fire balloons ’’ along tlie coast, no doubt thinking we would mis take them for ships’ lights, and give chase, thus giving any craft that might u ish to run out of the pass a good chance; but we wore rather too'old birds to be caught with chaff. Main Tor. TWO CENTS. From Hagerstown, Md. [Correspondence of The Press.] Hagerstown, Md., Aug. 30,18G1. When I announce to the thousands of read ers of your interesting journal that a new store has been opened in this retired town, it will scarcely be considered that I have mentioned a very astonishing fact—but thereby hangs a tale! Mr. N. D. Kineaster lias, for many years, been the most extensive merchant in the town of Martinsburg, Virginia. His establishment was the handsomest in the place, and the man himself was so much an example of industry to his lazy compeers in trade, that a wonderful jealousy has for some time existed among them. Last year lie did fifty thousand dollars’ worth of business, and his concern was never valued under ten thousand dollars. But with all his energy and integrity as a business man, united to an irreproachable character, Mr. Ki neaster dared to reject the degradation of Jcif. Davis’ tyranny, and cling to the immortal stars and stripes, under which he had lived and prospered from boyhood. Two weeks ago he went to your city to pur chase about three thousand dollars’ worth of goods. Arriving here a few evenings since, cn route home, he was informed that, during his absence, a squad of Virginia chivalry had gono to his store, seized everything in it, and, by that movement, the entire concern had been merged into the stock of rebel supplies at Winchester.." They also robbed his safe of one thousand dollars in United States money, which he had left there for the redemption of certain local scrip which he had issaeaTor the convenience in change. You may imagine the gentleman’s feelings, to be tlms suddenly bereft of the earnings of his life time; but with the dignity and noble ness of a true Virginian, and the unflinching spirit of a sincere devotee at his countxy’s sa cred altar, he declares that if God otily grants him health, lie will not stop to brood over his misfortune, hard as it is, but will go ahead, never forsaking bis beloved flag, though a hundred times his loss should be again sacri ficed to feed this foul and unnatural rebellion. The “ new store ” above mentioned is Mr. Kinoaster’s effort to sell here (and at cost) the goods which lie had purchased, but cannot now take to Martirffiburg. Who wouldn’t live in Virginia, or any other Confederate Slate ? A second item of interest from this section is the an'est of Mr. Daniel Dechcrt, the pseudo editor of the Hagerstown Mail, an abomina tion which, some time ago, (by mistake no doubt.) crept into your list of e< Union papers in the South.” Mo one here ever accused Daniel of actually composing any of the fierce diatribes which have adorned liis columns; and lie unfortunately became a mere scape goat for the sins of those who pulled the wires behind him. The real editors of the Mail are yet uncauglit, and are still ready to blather about “ peace,” and, with this hypocritical banner, give all possible aid and comfort to the enemy. On the contrary, the Herald and Torchlight is a perfect gem of a newspaper, true as steel, and you need not be surprised to lenm shortly that the indignant populace of this town may resort to decided measures to convince the Mail that its days are numbered, and that Daniel has “ gone to judgment!” An episode to the even tenor of the town occurred on Thursday, between two prominent individuals—Jas. D. Bennett, Esq., a “Phila delphia lawyer,” now residing here, and A. K. Syster, Esq., a legal brother, “ native here, and to the manor bom.” Knock-down argu ments were introduced to settle the political differences, and it is said Mr. Bennett won—a Union victory. The whole thing is to bo re gretted ; both are talented gentlemen of the highest respectability, and possessed of social virtues. The organization of the Maryland Homo Guard regiments, under Brig. Gen. Frank Thomas, the “ old war horse,” has placed the cause of the Union upon a basis in this sec tion which cannot be shaken by any future action of the rebel sympathizers. It was a happy idea, and will be productive of unspeak able good. Zouave. Immense Union Meeting, without Distinc tion of Party, in Schuylkill County. [Correspondence of The Press.] Pottstille, September 1.1861. You arc aware that we arc afflicted, as a punish ment. I suppose, for our many grievous sins, with a class of peace-on-any-terms, anti-tax, office seeking men, who hold the country but of slight account, and its great interests of secondary im portance, to the dollar which they may be enabled to clutch if they can succeed in distracting the minds of men, and render them subservient to their party purposes. It is needles for me to state that these rebel-sympathisers are Breckinridge men. They are known everywhere, and marked “traitor” as distinctly ns if the word had been branded on their foreheads. During the last five weeks these men have been industriously engaged in this county- in poisoning minors and farmers. In the mining HSfJflUho men that this is Lincoln’s war vaged agam..t the r-v.( v an( j persuade those who are unemployed not to enlist, -im,., the farmer that tlie tax of the Government to carry on tins war will come out of their pockets, anil urge them, on that consideration, to oppose it. An instrument in this work of opposition to the Go vernment is the Democratic Standard, published in this borough, by H. L. Acker, brother of tho Norristown man, who is engaged in the same trai torous efforts. The Standard is thoroughly despised by every iutclligentman.andif its perusal was confined to such it would be unworthy of notice, so limited would be its influence for evil. But, unfortunately, its circulation is principally among those incapable of detecting the falsehoods that weekly disgrace its columns, and who place implicit belief in its traitorous statements. The ef fect on a population so peculiar ns the one which composes this county, had become so serious ih re tarding enlistments, and in creating a disaffected feeling, that yesterday, on the spur of the moment, n large number of our citizens, Democrats and Republicans, resolved to hold a Union mass meeting in the evening. Bills calling it were issued du ring the afternoon, and although, in consequence of the brief notice, there could bo but a small attend ance from the outlying districts, yet when the meeting organized in the evening at Mortimer’s Ho tol, a dense mass of thousands was assembled, to participate in the proceedings. The meeting organized by calling to the chair Charlemagne Tower, Esq., a staunch Democrat, who served three months in the present war, as captain of the Tower Guard, of this borough. In the list of vice presidents were the names of promi nent Democrats and Republicans. It was empha . tieally nr outpouring of the people, os brothers, tO pledge renewed adherence to the Government, Party names were cast to the winds, and under tho inspiration of the speakers, cheer after cheer for the glorious Union cause, rolled up the broad sides of our mountains, and leaped from peak to peak, as if anxious to penetrate to the remotest extremi ties of the country, to animate and encourage our brethren, to live for, and die for, if necessary, the preservation of our great national heritage. Captain Tower returned thanks for the honor conferred in calling upon him to preside over the meeting in one of tho most patriotic, spirit-stirring speeches we ever heard that gentleman make. He was followed by F. B. Gowen,Esq., a young lawyer of ability, and a Democrat in politics, who argued strongly that the people should be a unit in assist ing the Government to crush the rebellion. Mr. Gowen was succeeded by John Bannan, Esq., a Republican, and a thorough-going patriot from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. He did not spore the rebels in oar midst, I can assure you, and effectually disposed of the farmer tax question by showing, incontestably, that a large pro portion of the money disbursed by the Government m maintaining our army, found its way into the Sockets of our farmers, to pay for produce. Hon. ames 11, Campbell, member of Congress from this district, who, ns you know, Colonel, shouldered a musket night after night, at the time the capital was in peril, in April last, next took the stand, and spoke as only men can speak who feel, deeply feel, that the country is passing through an ordeal, the result of which, whether victory or defeat, rests with the American people. The greatness of the occasion, the momentous issues of the day, lent force to his language, and the vast multitude stood motionless and nlmost breath less, as a torrent of fervent, earnest eloquence burst upon their hearing. The doubting were con vinced ; the wavering were resolved. The speech has added to tho forensic reputation of our distin guished member, classed, as it may be,in eloquence and power, with the efforts in that line of Holt. Dickinson, and other patriots of tlie time. Myer Strouse, Esq., long one of the most uncompromising Democrats, and I might add, bitter partisans in this region, made the closing speech of the eve ning. So graeefully, so frankly, so earnestly did Mr. Strouse acknowledge that he owed to the Government a duty superior to tho claims of party, and urge upon his “fellow Locofocos”—l quote his own words —to go and do like, that he completely won the forgiveness of his old political enemies, while all declared that it was the best speech he ever delivered. In this instance Igo cheerfully with the majority, and say it is even so. Tho moating adjourned with vooiforous cheers for the Union. To Mr. James Sillyman, one of our oldest and most highly-esteemed citizens, much credit is due for the promptness with which, in a pressing emer gency, this grand Union meeting was held. He urged it in the spirit of a patriot, and 1118 energy to make it a monster gathering of the peo ple in their might and majesty. . It is almost unnecessary, but I will state the fact as ono eminently creditable, that the People’s Standing Committee of this county deem it inexpe dient to make any party nominations this fall, and have adopted the following resolutions : Resolved, That the standing committee of the People’s party meet at the American House, in the borough of Pottsville, at 1 o’clock P. M., of Wed nesday, the 4th day of September, for the purpose of uniting and conferring with a committee of that portion of the Democratic party, favorable to the formation of a Union ticket to be voted for at the coming election. - This is as it should he. Parties at this time are, or ought to be, defunct. The man who now urges exclusive party nominations is no patriot. I understand that the officers and privates of the Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment, tbroo-months men, contemplate presenting a handsome field glass to their late colonel, James Nagle. The Colonel has reorganized a regiment composed entirely of Schuyl kill "county companies for the war. It is in oamp at Harrisburg. Truly yours, ff. B. W. THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Many parties being desirous of exchanging tha State fire per cents, for the United Statos loan at 7.30 percent., the market for State fives is weaken ed by the supply, and prices tend downward. To* day the decline on State fives was i per cent., the sales made being quoted at 74J. City sixes sold at 873 for tho old issues, an improvement of i per cent., and 94 for the new issues. JVfinehill Railroad shares opened at S 3, and sold afterwards at filf. Beading Railroad shares wore quiet, selling be tween boards at 172. The money market is not changed in any of its features. It is understood thnt the Saving Funds of the city will invest to the extent of their moans in the next (jovernment loan, The following is a statement of the deposits and coinage of tho United State.- Mint, for the month of August: DEPOSITS.

The following article from the Pittsburg Chroni cle will be read with interest by many of our citi zens : The war excitement has so far absorbed public attention of late, that we rarely hear allusion now to topics other than those connected with the management and incidents of the great conflict in which we are engaged. Even the tax question, which but a few months since engrossed so large a share of attention, is rarely if ever mentioned, and those from whom we have been accustomed to hear so much about the disgrace of repudiation on the one hand, and the general bankruptcy which tha payment of our railroad debts would involve on tha other, arc as silent on the subject as though our in debtedness was a mere myth, and such a thing os a mandamus had never been heard of But the fact that the consideration of the ques tion may for the time being be ignored, must not be taken as evidence of its settlement. The in terest on our railroad bonds not only remains unpaid, but every day adds to the amount, while our creditors, so tar from relinquishing their claims, are more firmly convinced than ever of their lega lity, and only bide their time, should an adjust ment not be effected, to press them to collection. However disagreeablo may be the contemplation of the fact, no sensible man, who has given the subjeot his attention, can for a moment believe that we can now offer any effectual legal resistance to the pay ment of this debt, while it is equally clear that to compel us to meet the full amount claimed by the bondholders would be to completely destroy the value of property in the county, ana make bank rupts of the entire community. The whole of this debt can never be paid; but if the bondholders were to agree to a just and reasonable compromise, we have no doubt whatever that sufficient of their claims might be realized to protect them from ac tual loss on their investment. AVith these facts before us, does it need any argument to prove that it is only by compromise and conciliation that either side can hope to be benefited ? The bondholders, taking common sense rather than common law as their guide, are be coming alive to the importance of adopting a con. ciliatory course, and instead of writs of mandamtu and the imprisonment of our commissioners, other and more amicable measures are hereafter to be resorted to for an adjustment of their claims, They have just appointed a committee, who will visit our city in a few days for the purpose, if possible, of having a settlement of the whole matter. Tho committee comeß here, we believe, at the invita tion of our efficient county controller, and that tho matter may be fully considered and our visitors en lightened as to the true position of our people on (he question at issue. Mr. Lambert has inform ally invited several of our best and most promi nent citizens to meet them on their arrival, when the subject will be discussed in all its hearings. 170 have no doubt whatever that if a proper spirit is manifested at this meeting, more may be done in an hour for the settlement of the whole thing than the Supreme Court, with its writ* of mandamus and fines for contempt, could effect in years. The bnsis of an arrangement may be agreed upon alike beneficial and satisfactory to all, and though it would be absurd "at a time like this to think of levying a railroad tax, preliminary steps to this end mightbc taken, and a stop put to those harassing and expensive suits with which the city and county authorities have too long been troubled. The committee will arrive here on the 10th instant, and in view of the importance of their mission, the result of their interview with the con troller and his friends will be looked for with n» little interest. The Baltimore American of to-day says: “ The stock market was decidedly more active to-day, and all of the leading securities showed coniAiornhu firmness. State and city loans were a good deal inquired «ctar, and wo note sales of $lO,OOO Maryland coupons oflB7o at foi i, buyer ten days, closing at $Bl bid regular vray, none offered ; $5,000 inscribed do at $811; and $2,800 do in scribed ISOO's at $B2, and closed at $3ll bid, but none offered. There were also sales of $1,300 Bal timore sixes of 1890 at $BOl, closing at this figure bid for more, an advance of 1 per cent. For the loan of 18T5 $BO was bid, and for the loan of ISSG SBOl was asked, but there was nothing bid. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shares closed as ou Saturday, at $lll bid, nothing offered; and Northern Central left off at Sl3 bid, $l4l asked." The New York Evening Post says of stock and money matters in that city to-day : Thestockmarket is more active to-day, and shows a further advance of iai per cent. The railroad shares are dull, but very firm, Many of the pur* chases this morning were for account of the Bears, and at the close there is less disposition to put out “short contracts.’’ There is a strong feeling in Government securi ties, and the sixes of 1881 have recovered to within -jal per cent, of the price ruling previous to tho check at Stone Bridge. Previous to that battle tho coupon bonds sold at 901a90j, to-day they are spa.- lingly offered at 891. Since the appearance of General Fremont's pro clamation, there is a decidedly strong inclination to buy Missouri sixes. The purchases to-day, it will be seen, are large, at improving prices. About $lOO,OOO changed hands at 41ja41j, closing firm at the outside figure. On the other hand, Kentucky sixes Fell off 3ja4 per cent, in consequence of the uncertainty hang ing over the coming action of its Legislature. The previous sales were at 77, but to-day the bonds are offered at 74, with no buyers even at this figure. Tennessees are dull at 43ja43i. North Caroli nas, Virginias, and Georgias are without change. New York Central closes at 73jSa73i; Galena, C6jaC7; Rock Island, 411a413; Toledo, 291a29j; Illinois Central, 64ja65. Pacific Mail is firm and higher; 76 bid, 701 asked at the close. Money is dull at 0 per cent, on call, and tho heavy operations of the banks and Sub-Treasury are so evenly balanced that the market is scarcely affected by them. First-class paper is in small supply at 5a7 per cent., the inside figure for choico bills. Philadelphia Stock Exchange Sales, September 3,1801. Reported by S. E. Slaymaker, Philadelphia Exchaoga.
