PHILOSOPHY OF IMMIGRATION.
It is stated by a contemporary—and very
seriously, too—that "the major pAt of the
Irish race being in America, it is useless to
try to keep the rest from following. It is
also a fact that the °renter part of the Welsh
and Scotch races may be sought only in
America. The Dudish do not come in
such Minibus, because their country at-
Macs then to it by a glorious history."
There are several errors in this statement.
A great part of the Irish race is to be found
in the United States, it is true, but of the
Irish who remain in Ireland the last Cen
sus showed the number to be six and a half
]nillions; and, allowing for the immigration
which hasniken place since 1861, when tlie
last Census was taken in the United King
dom, and allowing, too, for the natural in
Crease of population in a country which
always
~been prolific in that respect, the
number of Irish now to be found in Ireland
cannot be less than 0,000,000. It must be
recollected that other places besides the
United . States receive the surplus popula
tion of Ireland, though its '`major part
does conic thither. Irish emigrants, in no
small numbers, find homes in Canada, as
largely - in Australia, also in India and in
oilier British dependencies. In England fl.
gt•cat many Irish arc to be found-90,000
in Liverpool, 56,000 in - Manchester, and
over 690,000 in London and its suburbs.
There are Irish in Scotland, more parti
cularly in the manufacturing cities and
towns of the West, but very few in Wales.
But, independent of the distribution else
where, it IS a mere figure of speech, likely
to be mistaken for an assertion of fact, that
`` the major part of the Irish race is in
America," when six millions of them re
main in Irelancl. Equally unfounded is the
declaration, put as "a fact, that the greater
part of the Welsh and Scotch races may be
sought only in America."
It is admitted, by the remarkable statis
tician - whose profound writing We are no
ticing, that " the English do not come in
such numbers." That is comforting for
John Bull, at any rate. It may be "Ire
land for the Americans," but it still is
" England for the English." But why this
difference ? There is a reason assigned, for
we are told they "do not conic in such
numbers, because their countiw attaches
them to it by a glorious history." •
There is more sentimentality than reason
or fact in this assertion. Who are the usual
emigrants from England to the United
States ? Mechanics, artisans, laborers—
poor folks, who merely vegetate 'in their
own country, where agricultural laborers
on an average of all the year round can
earn only two dollars a week for ten hours'
daily work in the field and the farm
-yard, and, out of that two dollars a week,
have to pay for rent, fuel, clothes, and
food—in most cases not for themselves
alone, but as married men with children.
The agricultural laborer who fortunately
finds his way hither cannot be attached to
- England by its " glorious history "—for
he knows nothing of it. In very few cases
Can lie read or write, and his country's
history, however " glorious," is nothing
to a man who is profoundly ignorant
of it. It is almost the same way with the
_mechanics, artisans, and skilled laborers,
who come to us from England. A few of
them may be able to read the newspapers,
but most of them know nothing of the
"glorious history" of their native land--
nor do they care for it. They are not sen
timental emigrants, who turn "to wipe
away a tear" as they quit the fields wherein
they labored for two dollars a week, and
the Union workhouse, which would proba
bly give them shelter and starvation diet
when they were past work ; but they are
men and women who have heard that
America is a new land of Goshen, literally
;lowing with milk and honey, for all who
will be industrious, honest, sober, and
saving, and the "glorious history" afore
said never once is thought of.
There is balm in Gilead, however_ Our
philosopher, after what he said above, sheds
a sunny gleam of promise on the way.
"Our late war," he says, "with its une
qualled record of grand achievements, will
do much to break up this." This what ?
this pride of the poverty-stricken and igno
rant lower classes of England in the "glo
rious history" of their native land, which
gave them hard treatment and small wages,
which threw them a stone, when they cried
for bread. But how break up this ? The
answer, by the philosophic writer, is "the
British races can have no prouder history
at home than we have made for them here;
and perhaps it was a knowledge of the fact
that this would produce a vast increase of
English emigration hither that prompted
Such men as .ROEBUCn to desire the (lest-rue
lion of the great republic, and the erection
of five or six independent nations upon its
ruins." Them ! It is made as clear as mud
in a wine-glass. People who know little or
nothing of the "glorious history" of
their own country are to be brought hither
by a knowledge that here, too, History's
muse has been keeping an illUAriells re
cord !
The fact, howeier, simply is that emi
grants who arrive here are influenced by no
historical memory or hope. They come
here to better their condition, and it is gene=
rally their own fault if they fail in the en
deavor.
THE BRITISH ELECTIONS
The British elections, of which we have
en account up to the 15th inst., have pro
ceeded in the usual manner, ageeably di
versified, in a few striking instances, by
some bludgeon fighting, a few episodes of
detected bribery, a large amount of speech
making at the hustings and out of tavern
windows, a good deal of intimidation, and
some dictation by partisan landlords to
tenants who have not got leases of their
dwellings or farms, and may expect a regu
lar "notice to quit," on the next rent-day,
if they vote against said landlords' ex
pressed wishes. Up to the above date
four hundred and twenty-one members had
been elected. As there are six hundred
and fifty-eight members of the House of
Commons, (some of our press-neighbors
erroneously diminish this total by four,)
there remained two hundred and thirty
seven to be elected_ The greater number
of these are county members, a majority of
whom are opposed to the policy of Lord
FALMENSTON.
It is claimed that on the election, so far,
the Government has gained thirty-five and
lost twenty-six members. Among the loss
is that of four members of the Govern
ment, and it seemed that Mr. Glansroxu.
'Would be defeated at Ogord University,
though he would probably be returned for
South Lancashire. At Tiverton, which is
PALMERSTON'S own nest, he,was re-elected,
but Mr. GEORGE DENMAN, a supporter of
the Ministry, was there defeated by a Tory
— . which will make a difference of two votes
in a division.. Mr. Bnionm was re-elected,
but his brother, JACOB, who stood for
Manchester, was defeated. Among the
'ministerial members are counted JOHN
13mottr, THOMAS HUGHES, JOHN STUART
MILL, PETEp. A. , TAYLOR, W. E. FORS
TER, and several others of very advanced
political opiniona-643 advanced that Lord
1 3 ..tr..mr.u.sorell cannot count upon their Votes
upon any gleat public question—such as
'Reform, Retrenchment, or Peace. On
each and all of these questions, they will
vote in the affirmative whatever the policy
of the Government may be.
Mr. GLADSTONE:B eldest son is elected
3nember for . Chester. Ile appears, from
Ids speeches, to be, a young man of much
ability and promise. In his speeches to
the electors, as candidate, young GLAD
OMB displayed a skill, tact, and readiness
very
unusual at his age . No doubt, he
had been trained, in some manner, at the
memorable Union debating 'blab in Oxtbrd
University, where the late Sir ROBERT.
PEEL, Lord STANLEY, And GLADSTONE
(the father) had learned to be oratorical;
but this young man, after a speech or' two
in public, exhibited an alacrity anti ability
at reply, and a wonderful presence of mind
when pelted with hostile remarks and per
sonal attacks from some of his opponents'
supporters, which showed him fully
"master of fence." • He promises to be
a chip of the old -block, and may be
set down as a promising young man(
Certainly he is young, for his
"Ann
ther, (a sister and co-heiress ..of Sir
STEITEN GLYNNE,) is little ydre than
forty years old, and he has on)fiust turned
his twenty-fourth year.
„ A a session or
two, he will probably be Ibund a member
of the Government—/junier Lord of the
Treasury or an U , ?oer Secretary.
Another lealing man's son was discom
fited. Lord •Viscount AMI3ERthY, who was
only tweet'-one years old a few months
ago, was a candidate at Leeds, where a
Tory 'defeated him. In the sprint, the
slecitors of Leeds, on the look-out for a libe
raPanditlate, discovered Lord AmuEnLEY—
Aptiably by using a strong magnifying
dais, for the young gentleman is one of the
smallest . men, not actually a dwarf, in
Queen VICTORIA'S realm. He went down
to Leeds, declined to give the liberal pledges
the electors required, returned to London
to consult with "Papa," (Earl RUSSELL,
went back to Leeds, and said he would
pledge himself to any thingif they would
send him into the House of Commons
went to the poll, was distrusted, at the last •
moment, of having protested too much
(like the Player-queen in "Hamlet ") and
was not elected. Ile is certainly another
"chip of the old, block," for he exhibited a
great deal of his father's facility in promise
making to the public.
It will be 'it least a - week yet before the
entire result of the general election can be
known here. Doubtless there are more
liberals than tones in the new House of
Commons, but the tones are a compact,
one-way-voting, body, whereas the liberals
have various shades of opinion, and on any
great question may as soon Vote against as
for the Ministry--as they did in February,
1852, against Lord JOHN RUSSELL on the
extension of the county franchise, and, in
February, 1858, against Lord PALMERSTON,
on the proposed law of Conspiracy, both
votes causing the break up of the adminis
tration. One thing is certain. Lord PALM
ERSTON, in the new Parliament, must pro
pose progressive measures, or be beaten
by the ultra votes of his own supporters.
If Lord DErwr return to office, his hostili
ty to the United States may lead to great
difficulties.
TEXAS PAPERS—No. 1.
WHO WILL IZEIDEATI; AND WHY
The War has opened to the close, scrutinizing
examination of hundreds of thousands of
Northern men, and men from Europe, the
limitless acres of a land they never would
have seen but for the great rebellion that made
them seldiers, and gave them the warrior's
right to camp and march, and fight, among its
hills and valleys.
It is a fair, sunny land they have seen, and
its deep, black, oily mould gives promise of
such wealth of harvests as, upon their little
New England and Old World farms, they never
have dreamed of seeing. And they—these sol
diering men—have not failed carefully to note
that the sere leaf comes later, and the green Teat
earlier there, than upon the trees at home ; nor
that less labor yields a better pay, and that
winter is not there so much the starving men
dicant that eats up the substance of busy sum
mer, and, in spite of its best efforts, leaves the
year lean and poverty-stricken at its end, as
in the homes they left behind them.
They, too, are busy, eager, restless men,
whose affections are not tied to acres because
their fathers tilled them; nor to houses, be
cause their fathers built them. rut, as though
"their very names began with them,” they are
ever ready to pack up, travel, or settle,-when
ever and wherever the most money can be
made with the least blows and the fairest
prospect opens to establish themselves and
their children prosperously.
Having seen these new lands and breathed
these balmy airs, the little old farms at home
look to their owners smaller and more rocky
to-day thani they did /lye years ago; and the
frosts of next winter will freeze them more
than ever.
L ahey remember, too, that bountiful as are the
products of the land they have sccn, they are
but raised here and there in scattered fields;
and that still a great majority of its surface is
opening wide its wilderness arms, and inciting
to its rich but uncultivated bosom, all who de
sire to go and are willing to labor. Nor do
they forget that it has been a part of their work
to tear down the old barriers that used to
hedge in these royal wilds, and to forever
strike oir the fetters and break the scourges
that used to De there, and within .hearing of
whose clankings and stripes they never could
have settled and rested in peace; and that
.hereafter, in very truth, there is to be "no
North, no South, no East, no West, but the
common bond of a common brotherhood" iu
all its depth of meaning ; and that labor shall
be WNW - table all over the laud.
Had there been no war, the nest five years
would have witnessed the emigration of vast
numbers both from the North and from
Europejbut it would live been to the West.
But now double that number will emigrate,
but very largely to the South—and wisely, too.
For the South gives them a richer land; a bet
ter climate ; a longer sunnner ; a milder win
ter ; a greater variety of production, and so
better pay for the same labor. And these are
solid advantages that the keen men, who com
pose the emigrating classes, are not slow to
appreciate. And their soldiering experience
in the South has already convinced them of
these facts. It is to these men that these
papers are addressed ; not to induce eilligra
tion (wise and necessary as it is for political
as well agricultural and commercial reasons,
and I do not fear but that, in the hands of Pro
vidence, these men, full of freedom and hu
manity, once there, will, as if, by instinct, set
themselves to work out the great political
problem now pending,, in the right way; but it
is not for that purpose that they will go. They
will go for their own ' good—the result WM be
the good of the country and the world,)but
to try and regulate it according
to the inte
rests of the emigrants. But it happens that
the best, broadest, and most desirable section
of the South for emigration from northern
countries—the State of
TEXAS,
has not been opened to the sight of Northern
men by the war, and is still comparatively un
known; and 'without information upon it,
emigrants are likely to fix upon homes in the
older Southern States., outy to rind, after their
investments are made and their families set
tled, that, though they have done well, they
might have done better, and that they have
been immigrating to States, which its old inha
bitants have, for a number of years, been end
grating from, not ; because their lands were,
poor or not valuable, hut because there were
better, healthier, and cheaper in the South
west, and every way more desirable, when
their greater range of agricultural products
are considered.
EverybOdy acquainted with TOXIIS is fully
aware that, since 1850,
ITS IMMIORATION
has been, very largely—almost exclusively—
from the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Missis
sippi, Tennessee, Missouri, and • Arkansas.
The Northern States have furnished compare.-
tively few, and Europe, since then, still less.
There is, especially in Western Texas, a re
sneetable German element, but their great set
tlements were made earlier. While, the whole
year round, the great roads crossing Red
River and leading through Eastern, Middle,
and Northern Texas, have been alive with the
wagons, cattle, pigs, poultry, slaves, men,
women, and children, which, in that promis
cuous, intermingled, and picturesqued confu
sion, so peculiar to all caravans and long
journeys, might be found slowly journeying
or quietly camping everywhere along them.
And they were always front some of the States
I have mentioned by name. The wealthy
slave-owners sought the deep-soiled river bot
toms of Eastern and Texas, with the
black prairies adjoining, for the profitable
working of their slaves in the cotton fields;
while their poorer neighbors, having few or
no negroes, settled more largely in the north
ern counties, where they could honestly and
(there) respectaDly raise corn and grain with
their own hands.
When counting up the actual inducements
offered by 'l7 exas for emigration, it is a sig,
nifteent fact that its population was almost
trebled between 185 e and 1860; in the first,
being a little over two hundred thousand, and
in the latter, a little over six hundred thou
sand, And especially so, when we remember
that the heft of this increase is from States
themselyes noted for good soil, profitable
farming, and large tracts of vac an t l an d e on
cove red with magnificent forests. And still
more, that between the most of them and it
lay hundreds of miles intersected with forests,
swamps, and riverS, with no communicating
railroads; that these removalswcce only by
crininon roads, with sloW Wagons, Camping by
the way, and occupying weeks and often
months on the road. But when
ITS GMOGRAPHY
is examined, its great inallOtallerlta to immi
gration are apparent without comment. Be
tween its Most northerly and its most south
erly boundaries lie more thdri ten degrees of
latitude; and between its most easterly and
most westerly are thirteen degrees of longi
tude, embracing every climate and soil adapt
ed to the culture of every agricultural product
grown in the entire Unien—from the Potatoes,
Onions, apples, oats, and wheat M94ne,
through every intervening grade, to the sugor
of Louisiana. It rises from the Gsulf leVel Prai
ries of Eastern Texas, by gradations, tO the
Llano Estacado of the West, lying in a gra4
plateau, four thousand feet abo' the level Of
the sea. It has the pine foreSts of qarolina ;
the live-oak lands of Florida; the rich river
bottoms of Mississippi; the prairies of Jai
nois ; the wheat lands of New York; the oat
and barley lands of NOW England; the oak
openings of Michigan ; the stock range of
Mexico; the sheep-walks of Scotland, and the
vinelands oreranee.
It has vicar and rapid streams abounding in
fish; large timber lands and almost limitless
Mains, stocked with game; immense prairies
already filled with herds of cattle; a thousand
hills covered with sheep; and large districts
waving with grain and white with cotton.
And from this magnificent State, across
which a horseman may steadily ride in a
straight lino for a month, and traverse more
than eight hundred miles, without tOnching
either border, recent events have driven
away that old bane, that heretofore has stood
as an ogre in its doors to drive away such la
boring freemen as would have been glad to
leave Northern snows for Southern flowers.
And now her arms are open to receive the
capital, Me enterprise, and the industry, of
the emigrating world around her. So far, my
renders have had but a bird , s-eye view! but
FUTURE PATICRB

tions, capabilities, and resources.

ment of Franhlin and Idarshall Col.
lege, Lancaster. -
[Special Correspondence Of The'Press..]
L.Auci6i;.l.ln,:jiilk*rsus:
_
The annual exercises attendant Vikiril
College commencement began yesterday, July
"a.', In the morning Dr. Steiner; of Frederiek,
Md., delivered a lecture in the. Gitthian Hall.
His subject was "Reminiscences of Marshall
College." Though it was rather lengthy, it
was an Mteresting lectUre, giving a graphie
account of student life at Mercersburg, where
the College was formerly situated. In the
afternoon the lecture before. the two literary
societies was delivered hyg
..am _tenger,
Esq., District Attorney of Franklin county,
Pa. His subject was "Aaron Burr." The
speaker expressed; in very strong terms, his
hatred to military commissions, expressing
the hope that the arch traitor, Jefferson Davis,
will meet his doom at a civil, and not •a -milt
tars tribunal. From the, g,encral tone of the
lectnre, the speaker appeared to have a poor
opinion of modern patriotism, as exhibited
during the late war.
During the lecture he was honored fp by the
pre.gence of ex-President Buchanan, who, on
passing up the aisle, was greeted with cheers,
mingled with hisses. His pleasure is never
unalloyed. A student by my side remarked,
at the time, that "these Copperheads would
cheer Jeff Davis did he now enter the hall."
In the evening the Alumni Association met
at the Courthouse to hear an address by Dr.
Steiner, on the "New Era of the Republic."
The court-room was tilled by a large audience
of citizens and strangers, attracted by the re
putation of Dr. Steiner, who is a illarylander
by birth, but has always been opposed to sla
very ; and since the outbreak of the rebellion
bus been constantly in the service of his
country. He showed the gradual rise of State
rights from the adoption of the Constitution
to its full and complete development under
the weak Administration of Buchanan, for
whom he entertains no very exalted opinion.
Ile :then traced the gradual progress of the
people in the full and proper comprehension
of magnitude of the rebellion, and the means
of its overthrow, namely, emancipation. lie
showed that until that measure had been
accomplished and proper military leaders
found to load our large armies, we made nO
headway in overthrow of the rebellion. That,
now, the rebellion having been overthrown it
is our duty to treat the freedmen as citizens,
to educate them for their new duties of citi
zenship, to pardon the rebel soldiers, and to
punish the rebel leaders, Whether by military
or civil courts makes no thircrence to loyal
men. Ile anticipated a brighter and happier
future for the Republic than our past has
been.
THE GIIADVATING CLASS
The speaker was several times interrupted
by rounds of applause. Mr. Buchanan was not
present at the lecture. This address was as
marked and decided in its expression of devo
tion to the Union as was the noble address of
the Hon. John Cessna last year. This morning
the exercises of the graduating class took
place. It numbers eleven. Among the speeches
of the morning, we noticed, for excellence of
delivery, those of Messrs. Ellis, lirein.er, Stern,
and E. C. Reed. There was no faltering, or
hesitation among the graduates, all coming
up fully to the perforthance of their dntieS.
In the afternoon, Mr. Baker, of Lancaster, de_
livered an eloquent salutatory. The master
oration by Mr. Mays, of Germantown, upon
44 Germania? was the most eloquent
speech of the day. He sought to
trace the influence of German_ thought
upon The history of the world. He
showed that it possessed the true spirit of
liberty; that it did not fall into despotism on
the one band, nor unlicensed freedom like the
French ; that in it was to be found the true
guide of American liberty.
The degree of A. B. was then conferred upon
the graduating dais; that of A.M. upon col.
Fisher, Chief of the Signal Corps, of the class
of '5O; also upon Captain Wickersham. The
title of D. D. was conferred upon Dr. Cole, of
Rutgers College, N. J. This was the first
largely attended Commencement since the
summer of 18cr.
Many friends met here who had been for
years separated. Hon. John Cessna was elect•
ed President of the Board of Trustees in tile
place of Hon. James Haehanan, who resigns.
So more worthy or more active person could
be found to occupy the position. M. T.

on Wednesday, the 19th. Officers were ap
pointed, and the meeting addressed by seve

passed, a sum in advance of the amount ne

with all possible speed.
To the Editor of the Press:
SIB: I notice in to•day's edition of your
paper, from the Doylestown Intelligencer, that
the city of Philadelphia think of proem ,
ing a supply of pure water from‘the Perki
omen Creek. As far as my experience extends,
I think it will require a large outlay of money
fora very small supply , of water, particularly
in hot weather, when it is most needed. In
July and August of last s'ear, myself and fa
mily were boarding at Longakerls Perkiomen
Hotel, situated on the Ridge Pike, near the
town of Freeland, and for four or five weeks,
this being the length of time we were there,
the water would not average over one foot in
depth ; and at times so sluggish that it would
not carry off the green scum whien was collect
ed on it by the heat of the atmosphere; and jam
sure there was not, enough, if dammed up, to
turn two turbine wheels, like those at Fair.
mount, and leave any surplus for pumping.

The American hlendin at Niagara
Faits.
(From the Buffalo Courier, lath.] •
Harry Leslie made his third ascension over
the Niagara liver, below the Suspension
Bridge, yesterday afternoon about four o'clock,
and we put it on record as one of the grandest
feats in funambulisur ever attempted. On
both sides of Abe river within the enclosures,
and wpon the suspension Bridge, immense
wanders of people congregated, but the pre
valence of au almost terrific gale induced
nattily to believe, not only that Leslie would
not attempt to cross the rope, but, that if he
did, he would be blown front it into the
seething waters beneath. But Leslie made
his appearance, in due time, on the American
side • was shackled hands and feet with heavy
iron 'chains, with barely freedom enough al
lowed him for the use of his balance pole.
His handsome wife and pretty child Watched
the arrangement of the preliminaries with a
genuine anxiety, which was only relieved
when he had accomplished his marvellous fent.
On the afternoon and evening of . August 3d
lie will make two grand ascensions. - In the
first he will carry a cooking-stove with him,
and cook his.dinner, and eat it, en the rope ;
in the night he will give a performance with
dying rings, Eurrounded. by fireworks_
A Niagara Falls correspondent of the Hamil
ton (Canada) Times states that Leslie was wait
ed upon by an official of the American Govern
ment, a few days since, with a demand for a
large percentage on his income under the in
ternal revenue system of taxation. Leslie de
murred at the claim, on the grodnd that his
line was an international institution, and that
he himself was residing in Canada; but the
Into authorit ies custody,
conveying
v e ux na el e M IL T gt Lockporto , acid took for iim
safe keeping until the demand was settled.
Leslie was finally rcileased, however, on one
thousand dollars Bail, with permission to con
tinue his performances until the legality of
the tax-claim could be decided upon.

considerable historical interest. Ellsworth
street waStmtilrecentlykiiown as Little Wash
ington street. There are no particular fea
tures on it worthy of a passing notice. Upon
rounding the curve at Broad street, block of
six model brick houses, located on the broad
thoroughfare, will attract more than ordinary
attention. They are the prettiest edifices of
the kind in Philadelphia. They have five
large fronts and high stories, with marble
doorjambs and circular heads. To the south
of these houses are others of a more pa
latial order, with observatories on top,
while in the centre of the street are parka
containing two rows of trees parallel to each
other. These private improvements on South
Broad street are;costly. They beautify the
section in which they are located, and it is
reasonable to suppose that the same order of
buildings Will be adhered to in other improve
ments, whin are soon to be made. South
Broad street will compare favorably in point
of the beauty of the mansions thereon with
any part of North Broad street. The car pro
ceeds onward and stops directly in front of
the
CITIZENS' VOLUNTEER HOSPITAL,
an institution that sprang from the humane
and patriotic affection which a few active
ladies and gentleman entertained for the sol
diers of the Union. Thousands of sick and
wounded patriots were received in this place
to await transportation to the military hos
pitals, by means of the ambulances of the Fire
Department. Like the Volunteer Refresh
ment Saloons, it has endeared the name of
Philadelphia to thousands of men belonging
to all parts of the country. Those who have
recovered from their wounds will at times, in
moments of refleetiOn, think of the brotherly
love evinced for them at critical periods-of
their lives. They will gratefully remember
the manly impulses, kindness of heart, and
tender record that actuated the Fire Depart
ment of Philadelphia in their behalf.
The Baltimore depot is located directly op.
posite the hospital. The car awaits here a
short time to give the horses a little rest; for,
be it remembered, they have come all the way
from the northeastern section of the city.
On the west side, of the street, above Car
penter, will be seen the Broad-street M. E.
Church building. The materiel is of brick,
the front being enclosed with a wooden rail
ing. Farther north several other churches
will he seen—one a Presbyterian, and the other
Catholic. . ,
The car now turns into Christian street, and
the first prominent object, after passing the
Lodge of the United States Sanitary Commis
sion, that attracts the attention is
This building is large, and has a very pretty,
embellished front. On the rear end is a large
tower, that may be seen from many distant
points of the city. Between three and four
years ago, the upper part of this edifice was
destroyed by fire, which originated from a
defective flue in the heater. The roof being
covered with tin, it was i impOssible for
the firemen to play the ater directly
upon the burning timbers. Tl* wood work of
the tower burned until entirely destroyed and
the big bell fell to the earth. Finally the roof
fell widths church presented a scene of ruins.
This neighberhood has a history, which, for
want of reporters for the press in those days,
has never been transmitted to posterity, ex
cept by political writers, either Whig or DC
mocrat. The church building is separated
front a row of brick houses on the north' side
of Christian street by a small local thorough
fare. These buildings were then known as
rionsls ROW,
and were pretty much destroyed on election
night in the year MS.
The streets south from Christian were not
then opened. To the south and the west, the
land presented a series of truck gardens, corn
fields, and potato patehea, enCloSed With post
and rail fences. The Moyamensing Commis•
sioners' Dail had been erected a short time.
To the east of this the Democrats had their
headquarters. This was a tent, in front of
which was a hickory pole, the emblem of the
Jackson Democracy. A painting was exhibit
ed on this pole, representing Jackson with the
Constitution in his hand and the United States
bank under his right foot. The Whigs tobk
umbrage at this, and freely circulated a re
port that the Democrats had raised a painting
representing Jackson as trampling on the
Constitution. The wildest stories were cur
rent in Cedar ward, and the Whigs of that
place determined to remove what to them was
exceedingly objectionable. Accordingly, about
the middle of the afternoon, a large num
ber of Whigs appeared upon the ground.
A majority of them were armed with blue
dye sticks. A few came with axes. In number
they were superior to the Democrats. At a
given signal the Whigs closed around the De
mocratie headquarters, and, in a few minutes,
the hickory pole Was hewn down, and the
painting thereon torn to atoms. The battle
was, indeed, short, sharp, and decisive. The
Whigs triumphed. The Democrats lied, and
thus things remained for a short time.
On the opposite side of the way, Robb's row
stood. The one at the corner Of Lebanon
streetwas occupied as the Wing headquarters.
The property belonged to Mr. Charles Robb,
an enterprising mechanic of those days. In
front of the headquarters was a fine pole,
shielded with straps of iron at the bottom;
the top contained" a liberty cap. There was
also a spread eagle of sheet-iron beneath the
cap, and then Caine the American flag, The
Whigs were in great glee, and witisli.7 was
freely indulged in during their temporary vic
tory. The defeated Democrats ran to the old
Southwark Hall, and circulated the wildest
stories of outrage and murder, and the whole
people became infuriated. What few Whigs
were at the polls in Southwark made
themselves scarce, though they were not mo
lested.
The Democrats rallied live hundred strong,
and with drum. and life, marched out Chriii
tian street. They bad at the head of the line
a muslin banner containing the representa
tion of a hog, as follows:
**M**#**%***Fit##f###%**%t*M'#%t%****###N#f%##*%#%#**%*~ .
TAIL, BRISTLES, AND ALL. w
...
It was cleverly dark when the party arrived
near Ninth street. Here a detachment was
deployed to the south over a field to dank the
Whigs. As the main column pushed 'on up
Christian street, the Whigs gave them a show
er of stones, and also fired several guns. The
Democrats returned the compliment and re
treated in gOOd'Cirder. The flanking party had
clone nothing yet. The Whigs, confident of
success, followed up their retreat, when all at
once they were fired upon from the flankers,
and seven or eight of them fell,one man badly,
wounded.. This threw their column into dig
order. The main column of Democrats now
rallied mid broketbrough the Whig lines. The
light became very desperate. Dye sticks and
rough pistols, shot guns, and old flint
lock muskets were freely used. The Whigs
yore driven; but the Democrats failed to
take their headquarters. Towards ten o'clock
in the evening a tremendous delegation,
of the Democracy from Northern Liberties
And Kensington, with a line band of musicians,
colors flying; and cheering along the line
for Generanfichael W. Ash, mime to the rescue
of their brethren, and soon the fight was again
renewed. The Whigs were driven, but they
made the most determined and stubborn re
sistance. They disputed every inch of ground.
The Democrats were five to one in point of
numbers. The Whig headquarters were cap
tured. It ncinemnossible to hew the liberty
pole down because of the iron bands that
shielded it, fire was kindled, and the furniture
of the house was piled around it.
A cry' rang through the multitude, "Save
ll ai.i y ag ! save the Ala!" The halyards, however,
were burnt and 'became foal in the block, and
therefore out of reach. The flames increased
slowly up the pole, but presently the roof Of
the headquarters burst into a blaze, and the
Democracy shouted and cheered for victory.
Presently the flag was blown away by the - Ilk,

the Democrats cheered. At about one o'clock
in the morning, the pole was pushed over on
the burning headquarters, and the eagle fell
on a lot north of the burning building. It
Struck a boy in its descent, and fractured
his shoulder. The upper portion of the
entire row of buildings was destroyed. The
firemen, under threats of vengeance, cutting
hose, Scc., were prevented playing on the
headquarters. After they were destroyed,
the water wasallowed to be turned on the ad
joining houses, and the flames were speedily ex
tinguished. This terrible affair lasted, it may
be said, from five o'clock in the afternoon until
two o'clock next morning. Quite a number of
persons were shot, one or twomen were killed.
We well remember one scene, As a Democrat
was getting over a post and rail fence, just
west of the Commissioners' Hall, he was shot
in the heel by a Whig. This disabled him,and
Mimed lately he was beset by a number of the
representatives from Cedar ward, who beat
him with dye-sticks in a most shocking man

With this brief history of a great election riot,
we close our sketch; as the car turns up Ninth
street, on the main road, which has already
been the subject of a former dissertation.
Incidents of Antietam.
We take the following incidents of the tattle
of Antietam from " The Field, the Dungeon, and
the Escape," by A. D. Richardson:
My ecntfrere and myself were within a few
yards 'pf Hooker. It was a very hot place. We
could •novoistinguish the "ping' , of the indi
vidual bullets, but their comumea and min
gled hum was like the din of a great Lowell
factory. Solid shot and shell came shrieking
through the air, but over ourheads, as we were
on the extreme front.
. .
Hooker—common-place before themoment
he heard the guns, loomed up into gigantic
stature. His eye gleamed with the grand
anger of battle. He seemed to know exactly
what to do, to feel that he was master of the
situation, and to impress every one else with
the fact. Turning to one of his stair, and
pointing to a spot near us, he said
"Go, and tell Captain to bring his bat
tery and plant it there at oneel”
The lieutenant rode away. After giving one
or -two further orders with great clearness,
rapidity, and precision, Hooker's eye turned
again to the mass of rebel infantry in the
woods, and he said to another officer, with
great emphasis: •
"Go,Mid tell Captain to bring his bat.
tery here instantly
Sending more messages to the various div!.
sions and batteries, only .a single member of
the staff semained. Once more scanning the
woods with his eager eye, Hooker directed the
aid: •
"O .
o and ten Captain to bring that bat
tery. hdre without one second's delay. Why,
my God, how he can pour it into their in
fantry
By this time several of the body-guard bad
fallen from their saddles. Our horses plunged
wildly. A shell ploughed the ground under my
rearing steed, and another ekploded near Mr.
Smalley, throwing great clouds of dust over
both ,of us. Hooker leaned his white horse
Oyer a' - low fence into an adjacent orchard.,
whither we ladly followed. ThOugh we did
not move more than thirty yards, it took as
comparatively out of range.
The desired battery, stimulated by three
Successive messages, came up with smoking
horses, at a full run, was unlimbered in the
twinkling of an eye, and began to pour shots
into the - enemy, who were also suffering, se
verely from our infantry discharges. It was
not many seconds before they began to waver.
Through the rifting smoke we could see their
line sway to and fro; then it broke like a
thaw in a great river. - Hooker rose up in his
saddle, and, in a voice of suppressed thunder,
exclaimed
"There they go. . . . ForwardP ,
Our whole line moved on. It was now nearly
dark. Baying shared the experience of "Fight
ing Joe Hooker" quite long enough, I turned
toward the rear: Freak troops were pressing
forward, and stragglers were ranged in long
lines behind rocks and trees. •
Riding slowly along a grassy slope, as I sup
posed quite out of range, my meditations were
disturbed by a cannon ball, whose rush of air
fanned my face, and made my horse shrink
and rear almost upright. The next moment
came another behind me, and by the great
blaze of a fire of rails, which the soldiers had
l' saw it ricochet down the slope like a
foot ball, andpass right through a column of
our troops in blue, who were marching steadi
ly forward. The gap which it made was im
mediately closed up.
Men with litters were grouping through the
darkness, bearing the wounded back to the
ambulances.
. -
At nine o'clock I wandered to a farm house
occupied .by some of our pickets. We dared
not light candles, as it was within range of the
enemy. The family had left. I tied my horse
to an apple tree, and lay doWn upon the pi?..r
lor floor, with my saddle for a pillow. At in
tervals during the night we heard the popping
of musketry, and at the first glimpse of dawn
the picket officer shook me by the arm.
"311 friend," said he, "you had better go
away as soon as you can; this place is getting
rather hot for civilians."
I rode around through the field, for shot and
shell were already screaming up the narrow
lane.
Thus commenced the long, hotly-contested
battle of Antietam. Our line was three miles
in length, - with Hooker on the right, Burnside
on the left, and a great gap in the middle oc
cupied only by artillery; while Fitz John
Porter, with his line corps, was held in re
serve. From dawn until nearly dark, the
two great armies - wrestled like athletes, strain
ing every muscle, losing :here gaining there,
and at many points fighting the same ground
over and over again. it was a fierce, sturdy,
indecisive confliet.
Five thousand spectators viewed the stru, -,
Nle from. a hill comparatively out of range.
ot more than threepersons were struek there
during the day. McClellan and his stair oceu- .
pied another ridge half a mile in the rear.
"13 - y Heaven it WaSo•oodly sight to see
a f 'r'e
E. For One who hall no nd or brother there?'
NO one who looked - upon that wonderful pa
.porant can describe or forget it. Every bill
and valley, every corn-Held, grove and cluster
of trees was fiercely fought for.
The artillery was unceasing; we could often
count more than sixty guns to the minute. It
was like thunder; and the musketry sounded
like the patter of rain drops in an April show
er. On the great field were riderless horses
and scattering men, clouds of dust from solid'
shot and exploding aliens, long dark lines of
infantry swaying to and fro, with columns of
smoke rising from their muskets, red flashes
and white puffs from the batteries—with the
sun shining brightly on all this scene of tu
mult, and beyond it, upon the - dark, rich
woods and the clear blue mountains south of
the Potomac. •
'SHARER WORSHIP.—A correspondent of the.
Lewistown Annuli, who has visited the Shaker
villages at Poland and Now Gloucester, Mass.,
writes as follows
The societies are made up of persons of all
ages. and the best of homes are provided here
for many orphans and all indigent or able
bodied persons whose fortunes and services
may be thrown into their common let. They
believe, further, in the temporal kingdom of
Christ—a kingdom indivisible—one in proper
ty, spirit, and. action. Simplicity and an
earnest zeal mark their religious gatherings.
Their assembly-room is a medium-sized hall,
well constructed, and finished in sky-blue
paint. The secs enter at different doors.
- - At the appointed hour the presiding brother
gives a sort of nasal twang, winch soon
increases to full musical cadences, and. brings
all the worshippers to their feet. They then
forni in platoons, facing each other, men on
one side, and females on the other, and in
dulge in full choruses and' chants, beating
time by an oscillating movement of their
hands, with up-turned palms. This finished,
the Shier advances from his seat, and after a
brief exhortation to a quiet and godly life,
resumes his position. The tune and dancing
are then indulged in, with quaint steps and a
pcmlulbm movement of the body. They move
in: forward advances, and all hands reel
aroundlhe choir that chants in the centre of
the circle, sometimes giving a double shuffle.
An exhortation more and the families sepa
rate and leave the hall, previously inviting
the spectators, the "world's people," to keep
seated miktil they shall have retiued. The re
marks made are highly interesting, and the
"la oring," as they term the dancing, is of a
deo dedly queer and impressive nature.
T e Shakers, on the whole, are unobtrusive,
ord fly, and peaceable. They own all things

F, ; .:ECIPTitai or WCIML4I.—Ono hundred arid
sixty-four;years ago Esther Rogers, of New

hug on a ,gibbet at Pingrers Plain, in Ips
wich, Tradition informs us, that she confessed
this to be her second illegitimate child, and
unit the first was secreted, she not knowing
whether it was dead or alive. She appeared
very sorrowful for here iniquities, and ac
he radedged her sentence to be righteous. She
emitinued , in deep distress for her sins, after
shdset out for the gallows ; but when passing
a MD, she was divinely enabled to east her
sold upon Christ, and to enjoy the consolations
of i hope in Him. This hill, from that time,
Tad been called "Comfort Hill," because she
there was comforted by the promises of re

About 1725 Elizabeth AtWeed, single woman,
of Ipswich, was hung for murdering her child.

by her crime, or by the realities of eternitl:,
bill put on, as many others in a similar condi
tiro have done, a mock courage, which set at
defiance the retributions of both God and man.
AllArl evidence of her callousness, tradition
tells us that, as it was customary for the exe
cutioner to have the clothes of those whom ho
executes, she therelo re fitted herself out in
Ilk very worst of her apparel, and on her way

attended her noticed it, and exclaimed, "How

THE CITY.
INFILTRATION—THE NEW PROCESS FOR
THE PRESERVATION OF MEAT FOR FOOD.—Yes
terday, in companywith ft number of scientific
gentlemen, we witnessed, at the pork - packing
establishment of Mr. Jicob-Alburger, in the
southern part-of- the city, the operation of
MOrgan's patent process for preserving Meat
for foodby infiltration. This method was in
vented by Dr. John Morgan, profcssorof prac
tical anatomy in the Royal College of Surgeons,
in Ireland. The animal was first killed by a
blow on the head. Incisions were then made
into the right and left sides of the heart, and
the venous and arterial blood allowed to es
cape. A pipe was then inserted into the main
artery, (aorta); and brine Was thus introduced
by means of a flexible tube attached to a bar
rel of the liquid. The brine used on this occa
sion was the same tis,that used by Mr. Albin,
ger in his business. The force used depended
on the elevation of the. barrel, which was
about twenty feet above 'the carcass of the
hog. This gave a pressure' of about seven
pounds to tile inch. The pipc'hping inserted
into the aorta, the brine, of - Warn, flowed
through the circulatory system traversed by
the blood in life. - The sanguineous - Raid
having been thoroughly washed or rinsed
out, the opening in the right side was
closed, and the vessels then became die
tended with the brine. This operation was
rapid and entirely successful, which was
proved .by incisions made in various parts of
the body, the foot, ear, and end of the tail.
This was positive evidence, of course, that the
brine bad traversed to every part of the ani
mal. The operation was performed by Mr. It.
S. Wharton, of the firm of Attwood Wharton,
merchandise brokers, of New York. So much
for the operation, which we can truly say was
entirely successful. It remains to be seen to
what extent the meat has been cured. In the
ordinaryprooess of pickling pork thirty days
are required; but by the new process, the time
has been reduced to less than thirty minutes.
It is claimed for this invention, or, perhaps,
more properly speaking, application of science,
that the meat thus cured is thirty-three per
cent. better than by the old method, and more
tender. For six months the new method has
been in use in New York. It has also been in
troduced at Australia and South America.
The best test after all,that which will suit the
people, is that some of the meat thus cured,
either pork or beef, be submitted for sale or
otherwise, so that the real result of the new
procese maybe estimated through the medium
of the every day science of gastronomy. We
understand that Mr. Wharton intends to ope
rate on one or two head of cattle in a day or
two.

Fox's AMERICAN VARIETY THEATRE.—
The. building on Walnut street, above Eighth,
which has been used for circus purposes since
the memorable days of General Welsh, has
been fitted up in a very neat and handsome
style by Mr. Pox, who will open it to the pub
lic-in a few days. -The establishment has been
entirely overhauled and remodelled, and every
convenience has been arranged for the accom
modation of visitors. It was dedicated last
evening by a sumptuous entertainment, ten
dered to the members of the press and a num
ber of invited guests. A new chandelier and
gas fixtures generally have been introduced.
Mr. Fox designs to employ the best talent
known in the theatrical profession, and to
give a variety of entertainments that wills
perhaps, exceed any other place of amuse
ment in Philadelphia.
FLAG OF THE 05Tf1.—Last evening the
flag of the 95th Regiment P. V., was presented
to the Cooper-shop Volunteer Refreshment
Committee. This flag was presented to the
regiment by the committee, and it has been
borne in many battles. It is pretty welltorn,
but this condition gives it an honorable his
tOry. The regiment delivered the state flags
to the Governor, but this one having been
presented by the committee, it was thought
proper by the staff officers to hand it into the
keeping of those from whom it was obtained.
A history of this flag will be presented to the
public in a day or two.
DISORDERLY ?LAM—At midnight on
Wednesday, Lieut. Loriane made a acsce.t

persons who lived in the house. During some
time past this court has been a great nuisance,
and the Lieutenant did not abate it any too
soon.

FINANCIAL IND COMMERCIAL,
Gold ruled steadily yesterday at about 143 1 A.
There - continues a good demand for Govern
ment loans and prices are firth. The advises
by the last foreign steamer increased the or
ders for United States 5.2.0 s for transmission
to Europe. The advance in price quoted from
London is 1 / 4@14 per cent. to 1.94@75 sterling.
This quotations vith gold at 1.13 and exchange
equal in currency to 15534 per cent. here,
affords every facility for the execution of or
ders at 105% per cent., at which some purchases
were mad e yesterday. The private letters re
port that all the recent heavy arrivals of 5-209
from this side—which left here about the Ist
of July—bad been readily absorbed by the
London and Frankfort markets, and the price
had stiffened.
The general stock market was active yester
day, the sales of the day aggregating more
than we have recorded for many weeks. The
seven-thirty loan being now entirely absorbed,
the surplus funds of the people naturally turn
towards the Stock Exchange. We have every
reason to believe that this activity will Con
tinue, or rather that the dullness "011ich has so
long characterized the market, Will Soon par
tially disappear. The sales of Reading shares
were very large, and prices at the close ad
vanced %, selling at 53%. Pennsylvania Rail
road was higher, with sales at 57. Camden
and Amboy was steady at 124. Catawissa pre
ferred advanced 94, and the common ]stock 34.
For'Little Schuylkill 25 was hid. Mineltill Rail'
road sold at 55 ; 59 was bid for Lehigh Valley,
and 23 for Philadelphia and Erie. State loans
continue vote dull. There was a moderate de
mand for City Cs at 92 for the new, and 92% for
the municipals. The oil stocks are be
ginning to look up, and a partial reco

In City Passenger Railroad shares there was
little doing. Race and Vine sold at 10, and
West Philadelphia at 62%; 20 was bid for
'Spruce and Pine ; 2534 for Girard College, and
21 for Union. Bank shares are firmly held, but
we heard.of no sales. 132 was bid for Philadel

Mechanics' ; 45 for Penn Township ; 51% for
Manufactm;ers , and Mechanics' ; 57 for City .;

The Cincinnati Commereiat publishes the fol
lowing description of a dangerous counterfeit
of one-dollar treasury notes :
F.xeepting a few minor discrepancies, the
spurious note is an exact _lac simile of the ge
nuine bill. The general appearance of the
bill is good. The green ink is of a somewhat
lighter shade than that used in the genuine,
and some parts of the note look scratchy and
blurred. s The figures "lff on the green scroll
work on the lower right quarter of the note
are printed in green; in the genuine they are
white. The face of Chase, in the counterfeit, is
badly executed.
The Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States. is understood to have received a re
newal of the offer of the Association of Ger
man Capitalists to take a premium loan from
our Government large enough to cover the
entire indebtedness of the nation. The abili
ty of the Association to assume such an im
mense responsibility is vouched for by the
Hon. George P. Marsh. No action as yet has
been taken by Secretary McCulloch, although
the matter is said to have been referred to a
prominent officer of the Treasury Depart
ment, who has reported favorably on the pro
posision.
tHon. Freeman Clarke, Comptroller of the
Currency, has written the following letter to a
bank officer in Hartford, in reference to the
recent action of the Connecticut Legislature
on the taxation of Government securities:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF COMPTROLLER OF THE CuMILENCY,
WAsurNorow, July 22, 186.5.
DEAR SIR: your letter of the 14th inst.., to
the Secretary of the Treasury, has this day s
been referred to me, with the request that
should answer it.
I cannot but express my surprise that the
Legislature of the State.of Connecticut should
entertain a proposition to virtually confiscate
a portion of the Government securities held
by inhabitants of that State.
The law exempting from taxation Govern
ment securities =so specific and clear that it
cannot be questioned. The bonds were dis
posed of, and purchased with the provision of
law as a part of the contract, that they were
to be exempt from taxation, and the country
has received an equivalent for such exemp
tion in the additional price received for the
bonds.
Can any one believe that the obligations of
the Government would have sold for anything
like the price realized, or at any . price at aft
commensurate with their Valle, alit had been
supposed possible that they could be taxed by
State laws, directly , or indirectly ? If your
Legislature can impose a tax of fifteen per
eentum on the income derived from Govern
ment securities, it is just as competent for it
to impose a tax of Ility or one hundred per
cent.
98, MS 401,863

it is a source of regret that any Northern
State should for a single moment countenance
an attempt to repudiate or nullify a constitu
tional act of- Congress, and one, - too, that was
deemed necessary to preserve the integrity of
the nation. In one aspect of the case, how
ever, it may be regarded as a most fortunate
occurrence, as it will serve to show the people
that it will not be safe for the Government to
allow the Southern States to be so recon
structed es to permit their being represented
in Congress as a unit, as they would be, by
men Who would be but too willing to unite
with Northern men of the character of those
favoring the measure under consideration,
to repudiate the national debt, if not by di
rect action ; by an equally destructive want
of action m providing the means of pay
ment. I am glad to -- hear,, and the whole
country have reason to rejoice that the Finance
Committee of our State Senate stands opposed
to this insidious measure. The effect of the
proposed tax would be to reduce the value of
the Government securities hi the hands of the
people of your State fifteen per cent., provided
there was an assurance that no further exac
tion would be imposed ; but without such a,ssu-
TiMee would reduce the market value much
More, AS the next, or any subsequent Legisla
ture, could increase the tax to the extent of
destroying their
_productive value entirely.
The Slate of New Gampshire has passed a law
imposing a tax of twenty-live per cent. on the
income derived from National securities.
it this action was confined to the two States,
the result would simply be to deprive the peo
ple of New Hampshire and Connecticut of the
privilege of holding or owning Government
securities. It is very clear that the states
would not get the tax, as the owners would
sell the securities to parties out of the States,
or go out themselves with the securities.
If, however, other Northern States should
follow their example, and it should be con—
ceded that they had the right to do so, the
credit of the Government and of the national
currency would be practically destroyed.
`MIS, perhaps, is the object of the Con
federates in this suicidal scheme. I Mak I
am justified in saying that there is not the
least danger of the proposed act, if it should
become a law beingsustained by the Supreme
Court of the 'United States.
It is, perhaps, proper to say that I should
say that the Secretary of the Treasury con
curs in my views as to the right of the States
to tax United States securities, but is other
wise ignorant of the contents of this letter.
Referring to the proposed act to tax the stock
owned by individuals in national banke, I
am clearly of opinion that Such stock, repre
sented by capital invested in whole or in part
in United States securities, is liable to State
taxation only on the amount not so invested,
and enclose herewith a printed slip, contain
ing a letter written by N. G. Spaulding, of New
York, and One written by myself, both concur
ring in the views 1 have stated on the subject.
Yours, very respectfully,
Fak72.31-3..11 CiAnks.
Joux L. BUNG'S, President Phoenix National
Bank, Hartford, Conn.
With respect to American securities, Mr. E.
F. Satterthwarte , s Circular remarks :
There continues to be a fair business doing
in American securities in the London market,
the demand, however, being chiefly confined
to United States Five-twenty bonds gnu Illi
nois shares. Of the five-twenty bonds consi
derable shipments have been received from
America, and although they have Unproved
one per cent. since yesterday, still they close
at a decline of *1 on the week; ) the price here
is still about three per cent. above that last re
ceived from New York. Illinois shares have
improved during the week about ad, while Erie
have slightly declined. Since the drawing of
Atlanta and. Great Western bonds numerous
sellers have appeared of second mortgage
bonds, which has tended to depress them, as
well as other descriptions.

Pittsburg Petralearn Market July 26.
The market yesterday was less active tln'
the previous day. The sales of crude math
near four thousand barrels. This, in dull than,
would be considered a fair day's business la
any other trade but oil. The fact is the nil
men are so accustomed to big 'figures that a
few thousands seem small. The sales of cretin
were at the previous day'S figures. The mar
ket seemed shaky. Large lots could not be da
plicated at the figures we have named unless
the oil was of a low gravity. The Allegheny
river receipts amounted to 1,218 barrels.
The high wind that prevailed during the
day would cause flats and keels to lay
up. This will account for the small
amount that came in. Large parcels are
}Mewl' to be on the way and may arrive at
=whom:. The only departure for Clif
the Advance, loaded to her utmost capacity,
and full of people. This leaves the wharf bare.
