A distinguished modern savant has pro- POUnded the theory that the peculiar his torical positions of the three great.con tinents are in conformity with their iudi vidual geographical charateristics. Thus Asia, representing the infancy or the human race, is divided by great rivers anti mighty m ountains --insuperable barriers earlier stages—into rt to peoples in the merous countries, which arc thus prevented from experiencing the liberalizing influence of intercourse with foreign nations, and knowledge of varieties of mankind. Europe, the theatre of the yeuth of the human race, where it first tested its powers, and learned to recognize its own strength, offered great facilities for intercourse : an immense proportion of seacoast, with bays running far into the land, and inland seas, which rendered the peop a les living on their banks friends anti not strangers ; the sole barrier being that long line of mountains dividing it into a north and a south, repre senting the civilization of the past and the present. The South, the laud of the past, Greece, Italy, and Spain ; the North, the country of the present, Germany, France, and England. But the third and last historic continent, America, has no lines of demarcation. Its office has been to provide a gathering-place for all the peoples of the Old World, and stretching from tropic to pole, it furnishes abodes of fitting climate alike to Spaniard and Swede. Unlike the other continents, its moun tain ranges, running from north to south, through many degrees of latitude, have only the effect of modifying climate, and cannot serve as political divisions; while the largest river has the same course, uniting the snowy fields of the North with the orange-groves of the South; and the other members of the great river system flow east and west, uniting the seaboard with the vast interior. In the very midst of this grand continental mass immense lakes, as large as seas, with the mighty river that links them to the ocean ; open the very centre of the land to foreign inter course. From the warm waters of the Gulf of - Mexico to the frozen waves of the polar seas, Nature has placed no boundary as a national division. In our country, indeed, the poet's vision is realized, and we can see "The pine tree answer to the palm" A great reunion of the Babel-divided peo ples is here at length perfected; Celt and Saxon, Pole and Russ, in new and happier circumstances, can forget old animosities, and side by side, and hand in hand, estab lish. a society where all the rights of all mankind can be recognized and secured. A congregation of many of the bravest and wisest men, culled from the foremost nations Of the globe--the American people is a conglomeration, and yet has proved itself a unit—a nation in very deed. Tried in the severest of all ways, it has vindicated its nationality, and shown that although but a union of all peoples, it is itself a peo ple. The English zealot and the sturdy Scot, the warlike Swiss and the philosophic German, the ingenious Frenchman and the haughty Spaniard have, amid new relations and under an untried and experimental form of government, shown themselves one of the twos; united -nations of the globe, and proved that the experimental government is strong enough to conquer domestic ene mies and defy foreign foes. With a people thus composed from the great industrial, manuthcluring, and mari time nations, Atnerieft offers every facility for their various vocations, and full op portunity for their free and unrestricted pursuit. With all this varied industry, the continent furnishes variety of soil and aur face that should render it almost self-suf ficing. The teeming waters of the sub- . polar regions can supply the deficiencies of the sub-tropie seas ; while the furs of the North and the fruits of the South may meet in healthful and profitable inter change. Abounding in all mineral wealth, from the useful iron to the precious gold, with a luxuriant Nature ready to supply al most every want that even civilization can invent, and the Chinese in the far west anxious to facilitate the acquisition of those exceptional requirements, the American continent should stand, girdled by its mighty seas, one grand, unbroken 7 undi vided country—the abode of one grand united people, who, having conquered an dent sin and present prejudice, can meet boldly any fortune that the future may Ming, assured of their own strength and confident in their own cause. THE FAVORABLE ACCOUNT of the Freed men of Missouri, given by General J. W. SPRAGUE, and published recently in THE PRESS, is being confirmed from many other portions of the South. Incidentally, we learn from a letter, that in Galveston, Texas, the disaffected residents make many and frequent complaints that a large num ber of the most comfortable dwellings of the city are held by negroes. Tidy, neat, and even commodious residences, recently the property of secessionists, and deserted by their owners, are now inhabited by the better class of Freedmen, who, either as slaves, have been able to accumulate money, or who have availed themselves of the employments recently opened to them. The whites who madly entered into the rebellion and insanely continued it, can not recognize the fact that their own acts have led to this condition of affairs, and that the immediate consequences of seces sion must be a state of society wherein the freedman is able to pay rent for a pleasant residence, while his late master is not. In Danville, Virginia—a town made his torical by being the place - whence JMPP DAVIS issued his flaming proclamation of defiance in defeat—business is being slowly reorganized. This town is the centre of the tobacco region, embracing part of South ern Virginia and the Northern portion of North Carolina. Fifteen millions of pounds of plug tobacco were annually manufac tured in Danville before the war. Recent events have caused the culture to be al- Most abandoned, the planters having been compelled to direct their energies to raising grain crops for food. It is supposed that the planters have on hand only about one million of pounds of leaf tobacco ; but the manufacture has been recently resumed, find the mills are giving employment to a considerable number of negroes, while the others are finding employment through the neighboring agricultural region. Every movement, however slight, that leads to the pacification of Virginia, the most Wretched victim of the war, is wor thy of note; and the reorganization of her industry under regulations founded on jus tice to the laborer, is the surest introduc tion to the future prosperity which shall clothe her valleys in rich harvests, and hide the hideous remains of battle-fields and the tracks of devastating armies, under a lovely, living mantle of waving corn. • TEE POLITICAL REORGANIZATION Of the South is the matter of " great pith and moment"—the vital consideration upon which future peace and prosperity de- Tends ; but, like all other grand changes, it requires time and patience to secure it on such foundations of absolute justice and truth as will assure its permanence. In the Meanwhile, preparing the way for this grand work, is the more immediate one of social regeneration and reorganization as a Sure basis upon which the magnificent structures of the future may be erected. The positions held by labor and the laborer have been so essentially false, and so Utterly opposed to the real interests of society, that public opinion in this regard must be entirely altered before any positive advance is possible. An important step in this direction, and one which seems directly conducive to the requisite radical change, is the movement recently introduced into Southern, Louisi ana. Eighty large plantations, eml.wheing a number of the most productive sugar es tates of the country, have been, or will be immediately divided into forty-acre lots and given to the freedmen and poor whites of the vicinity. Such a movement as this is admirably adapted to the present necessities of the country, and will do more to quiet the dis turbed condition of society, and rectify the wrongsproducai, first by slavery and latterly by war, than any number of speeches and proclamations and promises of future help. THE BUILDER OF TILE ALABAMA Mr. JODY: LAIRD, who Unfit the Alaba ma, has been re-elected to the House of Commons as member for Birkenhead. TWenty-five years ago, within the recollec tion of the present writer, Birkenhead was a small place in Cheshire, on the left bank of the Mersey, as Liverpool, exactly oppo site, was on the right. The relative posi tion of Philadelphia and Camden, so ft millerto a multitude of our readers, will explain how the two places stood. The commerce of Liverpool having very rapid ly increased, and it being thought al most impossible to augment its dock ac commodation, certain speculators, among whom was Mr. LAIRD' s father, bought all the land belonging to Birkenhead, then a little fshing village, with about three hun dred inhabitants, and constructed docks there, upon which over $15,000,000 has already been expended. The Cunard steamers use these docks, and Birkenhead speedily became a great town. By _the census of 1861 its population was over 40,000. It is now a handsome town; one of the few in England which has the advantage of possessing passenger rail way ears ; (the track laid down by G. F. num) is literally studded with handsome villa-residences, the suburban abodes of Liverpool merchants ; has handsome Pub lie buildings, excellent sanitary regulations, and good local government ; and has a fine public park of 226 acres, laid out by the late Sir JosErn PArroN, and an elevated cemetery near it. Its docks, however, have built it up. They were begun in 1824, but may be said to have been constructed since 1844. The largest covers en area of 120 acres. The LAIRD family, who went deeply into the dock-making and town creating speculation, were ship-builders by trade, and turned part of their land into yards, where vessels of every description are made, in a manner highly, creditable to all parties. Doing an immense business, and spend ing vast < sums annually in wages to the regiment of artisans whom he thus em ploys, Mr. Joan. L-kIIID, whose father originated the docks, and thereby created the town, has a great deal of influence with those whom lie employs. About three years and a half ago, Birkenhes.d was made a parliamentary borough, empowered to send one representative to the House of Commons, and Mr. Lerno was the man of the electors' choice. In Parliament, he was a strong Tory partisan, very much opposed to the Union people in the United states, and out of Parliament, he has con tinued Ids large ship-building at Birkenhead —including the construction and equipment of the Alabama, of which SEMMES ) the pirate, took charge, nominally as a " Con federate" officer, but shrewdly suspected to be only acting for sundry British subjects who sympathized - very warmly with the rebellious South. On the dissolution of Parliament, lam) again asked the electors of Birkenhead to return him a second time, as their mem ber, but was opposed by. Mr. WILLtAat JACKSON, who formerly had carried on business in the borough. After a very spirited contest, in which 3,140 votes were polled, Mr. Lump was re-elected by a majority of 1,020—0 r very nearly two to one. But he did not achieve this success without receiving numerous and hard hits on account of the share he took in buildiiit and fitting out the Alabanry Whe,reper he made a speech, he was taunted with the cry of, -Who built the Alabama .?" At one public meeting, he was so much badgered by these interrogations that he promised to answer them at the close of his address. There was then put in his hands the written question, read aloud to the meeting, "Did Mr. LAFRD know, while the Alabama was in course of con. struction, that she was intended for the Confederate service ?" He concluded his speech, and then withdrew without attempt ing to justify himself for having violated the law and disobeyed the Queen's neutral. ity proclamation by building a vessel of war for piratical purposes, to prey upon the commerce of a country in amity with Eng land. Next day, it was asked, in the local journals, " Why does he not ataml up and 7 7 with the straightforwardness and candor about which we hear so much, state that the order for building the Alabama was given to him by such and such a firm, whether They be from France or elsewhere, and that he did not know until after she had left his hands that she was intended for the purpose to which she was ultimately put ?" It was not convenient to reply, so the builder of the Alabama was silent. IT is PROPOSED to convert Form's Thea tre, in Washington, into a depository for the archives of the rebellion, and the sug gestion seems an admirable one. It will be remembered that our military forces cap tured many tons of rebel documents, illus trating the whole official, financial, and military history of the rise and progress of the Confederacy. They will serve, not merely to enlighten future historians, but afford much valuable aid to the present and succeeding Administrations, in ascertaining the conduct of the leading men of the South. The scene of the last great crime of treason will thus furnish a rich store of materials for the exposure of the con spirators. Tnn CORDIAL INVITATION which Bishop PoTzr.n, of New York, has addressed to the Southern Bishops of the Episcopal Church, to participate on equal terms in the approaching National Episcopal Conven tion, is an encouraging sign of the times. As the division of the great Church organi zations was the prelude to the attempt to secure the political division of the country, so their reunion appropriately succeeds the great verdict that has made the Union in separable now and forever. We want all the bOTKIS that can be forged to cement the nation together—religious, as well as mili tary, financial, commercial, and govern mental. A PROPOSED OVERGROUND RAYLIVAIi n NEW YORK,—The New York Poet of last evening says: 'e bear that Mr. Richard MontgOmenr will shortly put up a stretch of his proposed over ground railroad, on Broadway, half a dozen blocks in length, that citizens may see-what he intends. This line will be built upon iron posts, and will run over the pavement on a level with the second stories of the better class of buildings. The inventor claims that it is cheap, safe, speedy, and that it will not encumber Broadway even While It is buitains. The Post also states that it is the intention of the inventor to move the train by "the practical application of atmospheric pres sure," and quotes, in this connection an ex tract from an article in an English' journal on this subject. The Pas!, in conclusion, says : The application of some such motive power as this would remove the Only tenable objec tion to 'Mr. iSiontgOmery , s plan—the unpiew• santness to men and womettwalking in Broad way; of having a locomotive rushing over their heads.

SCRANTON ROLLING MILLS—A DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLIERIES—TN& STRANGE SCENES ONE SEES TEERE—PITTSTON—WYOMING VALLEY— IIEACTINCI SCENERY—KINGSTON—WILKES . EAREN—PROSPECT EOCIt—GENERAL REMARKS. (Correspondence of The Press.] bfnvrx CITUNIE, July a 1865, Illy last letter left me nearing Scranton. For a few miles we ran along the course of Roaring Brook, on a perceptibly heavy down grade, passing quickly a few collieries with their scanty settlements. Soon we rounded a sharp curve, where the inky stream was running thirty feet below us, and came in sight of what is culled 14 Shantyville," as compared with the other and better portion of the town of Scran ton. Shantyville is the home of miners and other laborers. The houses are of boards, and arranged in streets, presenting, at a distance, R rather neat appearance. In a few minutes we stopped at the depot in Scranton, and here / saw the bustle and activity of a growing and thriving city. The depot building is large and well arranged, and the crowd of porters, omni bus drivers, and hotel agents, with the general atmosphere, so to speak, of the place, gives it more the appearance of a City than any place I have yet seen in Eastern Pennsylvania. Yet this town is scarcely ten years old, and in a wild country; in fact, almost destitute of popula tion. In 1810 there was a post-office here, and the town contained just three houses. In the year 1810 the place was a village, and the two brothers Scranton, had then erected an iron furnace. Since that time various improve ments 'have been made, but the town did not attain to a large size until after the comple tion of the Delaware, Lackawanna, and West" ern Railroad in 1813. Within the past twelve years it has increased rapidly, and now con tains a population of 11,000. It is situated on the Lackawanna River, nine miles. from the Susquebanna, and is the centre of; the Coalre gion and coal tratie,Wthis '*,oitpr'Pennaylva niti. Immense AinitirtitlipiForie coal is fun ' - felled N to the ee' 3.*ik market, and the iroitrade is very considerable. THE. COLLIERIES. - : r close by the town are a number of Lollieriest convenient for the inspection ofA the traveller. Their long embankments of datbdust, with the little cars running out upon. them, and the sooty laborers sweltering under a July sun; are a noticeable 'feature in t , iew of the town from almost any point. Coil mining and its Attendant operations are of the simplest elm racier. Where a vein of coalcomes to theSur: face—" crops out," !TS it is technically called— work is begun in the direction which the vein has—generally an inclined- Plane of .gradual mid easy descent—and this sort of entrance to a mine is called a "slope." DoWn thiZ ilope a track is laid for the cars, and ibetare run Clown, taloa by the laborers inside; Wad drawn out then by steam power or herSeS.liThere the vein does not "crop out" a shaft'-is Sunk—not unlike a common well—and A: Steam-engine raises the coal by car loads or buckets to the top. Many of these shafts are from one to two hundred feet in depth. Inside the mine there is but little curious to see. The coal is taken out by the laborer; either With the assistance of a pick or by blasting, and Is e4rrieti in cars on a railway to the bottom of the shaft or the mouth of the slope. Each workman is paid for the quantity he takes out, at a certain rate per ton, which is estimated when the coal has been freed from all impurities; as slatostone, ae., &C. An experienced workman will take out in a day from tllO to three-tons. - At the head of each shaft metope is what is called a " coabcracker." This ii in a common frame building, long, and rather narrow, and' having a slope of considerable . degree. The cracker is a cylinder with toothoVsurface and the coal passes upon it from a' hopper. lmar. the top of the buflcijng , workteen Walk Sta tioned above to break.-the goat with- Picks, in case any of the lumps are 4pc. large td enter the cracker. The coal is -'thus broken . into many pieces, and is passed into a revtilVing hollow cylinder with apertures in the surface. of various sizes, through which the coal, as it passes down the inclined screen, falls'out into a number of troughs below, some of which hold chestnut, others egg, Others grate, no., no- The coal is there picked free from slate-stone , and is ready to be shipped at once, either. by the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad, Or by the Lackawanna and BloOmsburg road, down the Susquehamia Valley. Before leaving Scran ton, something must be said of the . zoLuNcr MILLS These are among the most est entive in the country. They employ nearly lifteentrindred men, and consume yearly more than one hun dred thousand tons of coal in their operations. The ore is taken from the mine and smelted near by, and is then brought in the shape of pro iron to the puddling and rolling mills. The bars are plaead in huge furnaces and heated almost to melting—are then taken to another and hotter furnace, and are hero melted and puddled, that is, kneaded, with long iron tools, by workmen stripped to the waist to endure the intense heat. At length the iron is taken out in several large Masses, and is then ready to be rolled Into shape. For this purpose huge rollers of solid iron are ar ranged together in an upright' frame, and are variously grooved in order to roll the iron into different sizes and shapes. These are turned by immense engines, and crush the iron mass into long bars as easily as' a piece of dough could be mashed in one's augers., The iron is again lent and rolled to give it g"-fihiNatts and close character, and lit it foOae ant use. In handling the masses of iron and the heavy harS, the workmen are assisted by large pin cers suapended from the beams above, and, sliding along upon these by means of wheels and a grooved track, The sight of the mills and furnaces in the night is 'very impressive to the stranger. The chim neys belching fire ; the white clouds of steam arising; the rumble of the ponclrous ma ehinery ; the flying sparks, the stiffened and begrimed workmen; and the pall of darkness over all, present an awe-inspiring sight to the renecting mind. The iron trade at present is rather dull, but all the mills and furnaces are at work. Having seen the coal and iron -works, and looked through this prosperous town, the traveller is ready to go north, toward Great Bend, or by the Bloomsburg Railroad, to the WYOMING VALLBY. At Scranton I took the train for the town of Wilkesbarre—seventeen miles distant. We passed through Lackawanna, a town of per haps one thousand inhabitants, and came to Pittston, nine miles from Scranton. This town is on the river Susquehanna, and is at the bead of Wyoming Valley. The Lackawanna here joins the Susquehanna, and the North Branch canal runs through the town. It is, as the result of these advantages, a highly thriv ing town, and a railroad is in projection to Wilkesbarre on the left bank of the river. The railroad to Bloomsburg crosses the Susque hanna at Pittston, and follows the right bank of the river. We were now in the historical Wyoming Valley, the scene of that massacre so well known to every American. As we went on, we had a passing glance of the monument to the slain of that bloody day. It is near the station and village called Wyoming, and is built of granite to the height of about sixty feet. It is between the railroad and river, and the traveller obtains a correct view of it as he hurries on, The -valley is well adapted to agriculture, and is much improved, the in habitants and the farms having that quiet air of independence found in all agricultural neighborhoods. The chief wealth of tie val ley is found, however, in the collieries, of which there are several on each side of the river. The coal deposits are not worked, however, with such energy as elsewhere. In fact the people, although in part descended from Connecticut ancestors, have not as Much enterprise as their origin might betoken. As we rode on we had beautiful scenery on the right, of a quiet, rural kind. The mountains that enclose the valley on this side are cleared and cultivated to the very summit, and are dotted with farm-houses. To the left we had the river, and the low land on the other side of it, and in the distance wood mountains. Seventeen miles from Scranton we reached the station of Ifin. , a ston, a town of thousand inhabitants, and ' Let increasing, It is Well laid out, and has a noted seminary of learning within its limits. From this place I rode over to IMIETIEBED A long, covered bridge spans the Susque hanna opposite this old town, and omnibuses meet all trains at Kingston, Wilkesbarre is the seat ofjustice of Luzern° County, and has in the centre of the town a public square, in the centre of which stands the eourthouse,u large building, but not ornamental. The town. is laid Out with great regularity, and is well shaded. Its mountain scenery, and the his tory Of the Valley, give it an attractive and re tired character.. It is very quiet es a town, yet has great wealth Of that substantial kind that is more desirable than the ostentation of a large city. At present it numbers six thou sand inhabitants. The North Branch Canal passes around it, and some extensive COl lierkS are near by, COnSiderahle business is carried on, but as a Stirring, active, growing place, it is far behind Scranton, although much older. Inver street, a wide avenue planted with trees, is the favorite promenade in town, and to that I took my way. The willows and grasses reflected in the smooth water, and alt tinged With tt fringing of gold the farms in the shadow of the hill ; the clouds above, form a magnificent scene for a painter. Seats arc placed by the river bank; and here I sat in quiet musing,. until a couple, more disposed to make love than enjoy the scene, came and sat near me. Listening for a few minutes to their conversation, during which I conceived for them both a high respect, I arose and re traced my way to the hotel. The next day I visited Prospect Rock. This is about two and a half miles front the town, and is a favorable point to obtain a view at once of the whole Wyoming Valley. The spot may be reached by a carriage, and is not a very long walk for one disposed to pedes trianism. The entire valley, from Nanticoke, on the south, to Pittston, lies in sight at once, with its farms, its houses, villages, collieries, canal, river, monument, and Wilkesbarre al most at the feet of the. observer. Beyond, the view is limited by mountahis,eiging one above the other, even to the distant Alleghanics. The valley is highly cultivated, and the farms give the view a richness rarely seen. Toward the north Pittston lies in view, and. beyond it the hills around Scranton. Scranton itself is too low down, or it W 0414 be plainly in sight. HaVing enjoyed the view for an hour, I re turned to the town, 011 my wqy pas Sing on TILE PRESS.-REILLADELPHIA:, SATTIMAY, MIX 29, 1865: merou4aStiea laden with huckleberries, and looked at the collieries, but as one is much like another, no further description of them is necessary here. Coal is shipped either by the canal, or by the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad, which I took next day for White Dawn, and of which more again. E. B. G: A NEW AMERICAN REPUBLIC. BRIGHAM YOUNG ITS REPUTED FATHER SALT LAKE CITY AND PARADISE THRILLING SCENES AND INCIDENTS [From our special Travelling Correspondent.] rARAIner, U. T., June 20,1605 ARRIVAL AT lIALT LANs. It was a calm and beautiful morning, in the month of May, as the stage-coach drove up into the beautiful capital of the Territory of Utah, on the great Salt Lake. I found the citi zens very much excited, and gathered toge- Mei , in groups at the street Corners, while a vast throng, male and female, were wending their way to the Temple. Of course, I joined the multitude, and soon was safely seated in the vast audienee-chamber. A sturdy, sun burnt old man, of about sixty winters, occu pied a prominent position on the stage in the foreground, while a sharp, thin, wiry-looking individual was haranguingthepeople, who tOS titled their appreciation of his discourse by occasional shouts and loud cheering.

A " Sucotn" Cioxsiun.t.ron.—About . thirty years ago, when those atrocious crimes were committed - which made the name of Burke a scaeric title for such MUrtlerS, an old woman entered the shop of a surgeon • upothoc..,_ , y in an - Irish county town, and offered to sell hint a "subject." 11e was quite ready to complete the contract, but he desired to learn some de tails for his guidance as to the value of the ob ject, in question, and put to her for this pur pose certain queries. Imagine his horror to discover that "the subject " was at that very moment alive, being a boy of nine or ten years Of age, but of whom, the bargain. being made, the old woman was perfectly prepared to "dispose," she bein so far provident as not to bring a perishable commodity to market till she had secured a purchaser. Determined that such atrocity should not go unpunished, he made an appointment with her for another day, on which she should return and more ex plicitly acquaint him with all she intended to do, and the means by which she meant to se cure secresy. "At this meeting—that his testi mony should be correbOrated—he managed that a policeman should be present, and, con cealed beneath the counter, listen to all that went forward. The interview, accordingly took place ; the old woman was true to her appointment, and most circumaantially en tered into the details of the intended assassi nation, which she described as the easiest thing in life—a pitch-plaster over the month an d a tub of water being the in expenAtreredhiSiteS of the ease. When her narrative,t to which She im parted a terrible gusto, was finished, the po liceman came forth from his lair and arrested her. She was thrown at once into prison, and sent for trial at the next assizes. Now, how ever, came the difficulty. }'or whatshould she be arraigned t It was notmurder—it was S.tfll incomplete. It was, therefore, conspiracy to kill; but a single individual ommot " con spire •" and so, to fix her with the crime, it would be necessary to include thesurgoon in the indictment. If they wanted to try the old woman, the doctor must share the dock. Now, all the ardor for justice could scarcely be sup posed to carry a man so far ; the doctor "de murred" to the arrangement, and the old hag was set at liberty.—Blackwood's Magazine. A Strolls' SERMON BY PARSON BROWNLOAV.- The rebels often liken themselves to the Pro digal Son, and think that they should be re ceived, like him, on the first signs of repent ance. Parson Brownie w. for he is none the less the parson now that he lias got to be Governor, shows - oil the points of dittereuee very effec tively. tie says virst- - ---The Prodigal Son did not secede; he went with his father's consent, and, as the Scriptures indicate, with his blessing. Next, he went;, lie did not stay and vilify the old man m his own house. Re asked for something to start him in the world ; lie did not present a pistol to the old mail's breast and demand his greenbacks or watch. He received the portion his father gave him; he did not firm it—a modern Southern name for stealing. And, receiving it, he started out "to seek Ids fortune." Re did not retire to the south side of the old man's farm, and join a band of robbers who were plundering the old mail and his law abiding neighbors. Receiving his portion, he quietly took his journey into a far country. Finally, he repented of ids folly, not beethese the old 01;03 whipped him into repentance but because he "came to himself," and saw that he had wasted his substance in riotous living. lie went back home, not with murder in his heart, boasting how many he had killed, and threatening what he would do, but lie bowed down in honest contrition and asked all sorts of pardon. He didn't return saying, I have fought you four yeitrs cud until I was 0 - ,-erpowered," but ilc went back Crying; ` l ; . a" they, I have sinned against Heaven and , sight, and am no more worthy to be callcdthy son," and imploringly said: "Make me as One of thy hired servants." lie - went home because, throughout his entire course of riotous living, his heart was there. He did not return demanding his "rights," his pro perty and back rents. He did not ask instil:it pardon upon the faith of an oath of amnesty, but proposed to prove his repentance genuine by his works. The story of the Prodigal 561.1 is one of sincere, deep, heart-felt, and voluh tary repentance fora great wrong. Do our ill turning rebels come repenting , of their imp*. al 10ydcrimes I As long as rebellion showid any signs of success, did they show any sign of repentance'? Are'they coming back beeahe th e y love the Union, or were about tO "Perisl with bringer?" All who return peaceably tc. l their homes, cultivate friendly relations, and abstain from hostile acts, discountenancing every attempt at disorder, should be met with, the same spirit and treated with leniency.'

A SitilllPEß NOIiTLVOSED.--A sharper at tempted, a day or two ago, to play Upon. L. S. Stowe, the jeweller, the game which was.play ed successfully at Worcester the other day. Stepping into the - store with some money in bisland, and apparently , in great haste, he pretended to be anxious to buy a Watch for "boot" in a trade. Finding ono that suited him, he said he would go out and show it to the coati he was trading with, and, if it also suited him, he would return and pay , for it. Mr. Stowe remarked to him that he might he all right, hut, being a stranger, some money would in that case be required as security. The man at once pointed to a horse hitched in front of the store, telling him the horse might answer as security ; Tait Mr. Stowe, who takes the papers, reminded him of the instance in Worcester, where a horse "secured" under the Sallie circumstances was found to have been bired, and the fellow who took the watch never returned. - Re had only alluded to the the incident when the man's countenance fell, and ho walked off without saying a word.— Springfield Republican.

The oil stocks, especially, were in better demand, and we also note high er rates. There is, however, very little doing in Government or other substantial securi ties, as is generally the ease when the fever for stock speculation is rampant. The sales were confined to a few lots of 1861 s, which sold at 106%, which is a decline. State and City Loans were very quiet, and in the formei nothing was Bald.

There are now in the market quite a large number of buyers from all parts of the coun try, selecting their stocks and leaving orders v.dth despatell, which gives assurance for continued demand of Eastern manufactured goods. Prices are unchanged and ruling firm, with a tendency upward; there being a slight advance in leather, and a great scarcity of the better qualities of ladies , goods. From present appearances we thinkprices will range higher rather than lower for the present season. The full capacity of our manufacturers will now be tasked to supply the orders eft untllled. The hurrying to and fro of manufacturers from the neighboring towns show that they are fully awake and will meet the demand quickly.

Adding to this the facts that his rooms are cool and airy, his tables models of neatness, and his waiters intelligent and 'efficient, and we have aufilotent reason for the unparalleled popularity and patronage of his saloons.
