Beecher and Switzerland* * To the Editor of The Press:. Sik ; It was the.writers good fortune to spend a somewhat longer 'period than “ three memorable weeks” In the Jat according to Mr 1 . Beecher,. f “/or mere physicaVjhings all good Americans should' go* n and “ wktre nature is so /rattscefldentfybeauttful and,men bo wretcheik’V Having had the'privilege of talking with, as well aa of 14 looking at the peo ple,” ihe impressions* he received duriag a tour of several months in f Switzerland were such as to con firm his previously-adopted ideas that the Swiss were a brave, industrious, and ingenious nation. In the course of his wanderings, he (Baw, indeed, , several cretins and afew oases oxgoitfe, but to have said on that account that, 14 of all wretched creatures” he “never saw any more so ihan the Swiss,” would have been as unjust and untrue as it would be to affirm that, beoauie there are lazzaroni and ban ditti in Italy, the Italians are a nation of beggars and robbers? or, to' bate 1 an equally sweeping de nunciation of the.charaoter of Mr. Beecher** fellow citizens, upon a glance at the demireps in the casinos and : gambling dens of New York. The tourist may have been an indifferently acute observer, and must confess that he did hot perceive the “toil,” “imprisonment and drudgery;” which made the people prematurely decrepit), nor did he notice any “children” that m W fcre boin a hundred years old.’?. He visited seve ral universities, and sther educational institutions, and a number of manufactories, and also observed what appeared to be rather a remarkable degree of progress in ftgricuUure. for a land little more than two hundred miles in its extreme length, from two * thirds of which the husbandman is forever debarred by glaoiers. barren rocks, lakes, and rivers. He found that those same 44 wretched crea tuitß” had a literature; that they had sharply de fined ideas of liberty and human rights, and was much more strongly inclined to praiaethan to depre ciate a people whose separate nationality had ex isted for centuries, and who had firmly established a republican government in the midst of despotisms pressing around and against them. ■U it not as painful as it is surprising, that a man of genius and of tact should, in the exordium of his , reception addiees in Plymouth Ohurch, have made such disparaging remarks as those before quoted, of so brave And manly a race I—that he should press Jjis Btricturee by varied repetition, and drive them home to the minds of a vast assemblage Of startling * imiamrw «irMfcfc'oj HiL-t- j Sir, this Is not a plea for Switzerland.

Many a bloody battle-held, where, as at Moigarten and Novara, their enemies bit ■ i ’. the dust, attests how well the Swiss can fight, and ’ tkemarble lion Lucerne, commemorating the intre ’ old guard of an amiable but weak-minded monarch, mutely tells how they can die/ The existing inati tuflons, not less than the past hlitory of Switzer land, prove that the "men” who inhabit it are worthy to dwell among “ those ordained mountains -«n which God has set his hand.” They are KepubU ians—they love Liberty and Progress—they love Mr. Beeoher lor bis championship of a cause dear to 1 their heartß.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Isaacs, a pawnbroker, having a diamond cross, valned at $1,200, in his’possession, pro ceeded with it to the upper story of'the building on Chestnut street, below P'ifih, to have a case made for it. It accidentally fell out of nis bands, and in descending passed through a hole in a skylight below that gave light to the vsloxe of Mr. Feniatan. Vain search was made for it, and a considerable amount of excitement prevailed in reference thereto. Mr, Isaacs was almost phrenzied at the lose: Mr. Penittm and several other gentlemenmade a thorough search for the jewel, but still it could not be found Several detective officers were called into requisition, and, obtaining a search-warrant, proceeded on the work of investigation. A young r man was arrested on suspi cion of having it. He did not know that th'e diamond was lost.- He believed .that he saw a young man pick up something that was brilliant. This'young man was “doubled on”..by the detectives, and the jewel was found upon him. He was arrested under the revised penal code, and taken before Alderman Beitler. He was held to bail in the sum of $1,200 to await a farther hear ing on the charge of larceny- The dropping of the cross, and the lOßing of it. in the manner it -took place, might never happen again.: The hole in the sky-light is small.

The undersigned, *4 General Subscription Agent,' Is authorised by the Secretary of the Treasury to continue the sale of this popular Loan, and TEST DAYS pubHc notice will be given of discontinuance, “ ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS remain unsold, . And this amount is scarcely sufficient to furnish a basis for the circulation of the national Banking Associations now being formed in every part of the Country. Bata short time must elapse before this loan is wholly ab sorbed, the demand from Europe, Germany especially, being quite active. ' As it is well known that the Secretary of the Trea sury has ample and unfailing resources in the duties os imports, internal revenues, and in the issue of interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Rotes. it Is nearly cer tain that It will not be necessary for him for a long time to come to issue farther permanent Loans, the interest and principal of which are payable ix^Gold. These considerations must lead to the prompt conclu sion that the time Is not far distant, when these “ Five- Twenties” will sell at a handsome premium, as was the result with the “Seven-thirty” Loan, when it was all sold, And coaid no longer be subscribed for at par. * This is a SIX PER CENT. LOAN, th* interest and principal being payable in coin, thus yielding about bight per cent, per annum at the present premium on gold. It is called “Fire-Twenty,” from,the fast that whilst the Bonds may run for ftoenfp years, yet the Govern- ; menthas the right to pay them off in gold at par.ai any time after jCoe years. v The interest is paid half yearly on the first days of If-o ▼ember and May, ... Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds which are paya ble to bearer and issued for $5O, $lOO. $5OO, and SI,GCO» or Registered Bonds of similar denominations, and'in additionss,oooand $lO,OOO. . • Li These “Five-Twenties” cannot be taxed by States, cities, .towns, or counties, and the Government tax on them is only one and a half per cent,' on the amount of Income, when the income exceeds six dol lars per annum. Income from all other investments, such as mortgages, railroad stocks, bonds, die., mns pay from three to five per cent, tax oh the Income. Banks and Bankers throughout the country will con tinue to dispose of the Bonds, and all orders by mall or otherwise properly attended to. The Treasury Department having perfected ments for the prompt delivery of Bonds, Subscribers will be enabled to receive them at the time of subscri bing,'or at farthest in FOUR dayh This arrangement will be gratifying to parties who want the Bonds oh pay ment of the money, and will greatly Increase the sales. t - .
