THE AMERICAN CONTINENT.
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.

(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

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:

work is begun in the direction which the vein
has—generally an inclined- Plane of .gradual

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

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

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

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

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

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. His re

a pet of Illy worthy host. He had been Seellre

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.'
When they manifest a hostile spirit, makei
them bite the dust.

POWER OF THE. BRITISH . AHiSTOCRACY.—A TO
cent work, " The Gnat Governing Families of
England," says
England is governed, in times of excitement,
by its people; in quiet times, by Its aristocra
cy, from whom a careful analysis shows that
the thirty-one families at this moment supply
one hundred and ten members, or a clear
working fourth of the English House of Com
mons, who have, in fact, as great a direct
power as the wholo kingdom of Ireland, dou
ble that of Scotland, live times that of London,
as much as that of LODO.OII and the forty next
Ineatest cities. When we have added the great
rish and the great Scotch proprietors, it will
be found that sixty families supply, and for
generations have supplied, one-third of the
House of Commons, one-third of the ultimate
governing power for an empire whieh includes
a fourth of the human race.
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.—

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
The stock market sustained yesterday the
improved tone noted on the previous Slay.
The sales were quite large, and prices were
generally arm. 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. New City 6s were steadsf i ai r
92; end municipals at WA'. The lean and bona'
market is very dull, the sales of company-
bong being confined to Union Canal bonds at
20; Camden and Amboy 6s at 87%@90,,and
North Pennsylvania Os at 81%. The Railroad
Share list lvas not so active, and the previ
oils days' prices were not sustained.
Reading declined 34, selling at 53%.
Philadelphia and Erie was steady at 2234;
Norristown at 55; and patawissa preferred
at 25%—the latter being a decline of Xi.
Catawissa common was weak at 12%, and
Minehill Railroad sold at 55. 123 was bid for
Camden and Amboy; 29 for Little Schuylkill;
23 for NOrth Pennsylvania 5 59 for Lehigh
ley; and 44M for Northern Central. City Pas
senger Railroad shares are unchanged. Girard
College sold at 26; 46 was bid for Tenth and
Eleventh; 62 for West-Philadelphia; 9 for Race
and Vine; and 22 for Union. In Bank shares
there is nothing doing. 130 was bid for Phila
delphia) 118 for Farmers' and Mechanics' ; 29
for hiectiesi 5 46 for Penn Township; 51 1 / 2 for
Girard ; 29 for Manufacturers , and Mechanics'
57 for City; and 57% for Corn Exchange. There
was an active movement in canal stocks, the
sales including Schuylkill Navigation at 23;
and preferred at 81%; Wyoming Valley at 5134;
and Susquehanna canal at 8 1 / 2 . In the oil stocks
we note arise of in Curtin, and 74 in Maple
Shade. The oil stocks generally were better.
Of the coal stocks, we note further sales of Big
Mountain at 5, and Fulton at 6.

All of the great seven-thirty has now been
Marketed. The three series of notes into
which the loan Was divined were as follows:
The first series of W 00,000,000, bearing ante Au-
gust 15, 1804, and now quoted at par and inte
rest ; the second series, also, of $300,000,000,
bearing date June 15,1°05, and now selling in
this market at about at%, adding interest; and
the third and final series of $230,000,000, bearing
dale July 15, 1865, and just closed out at par
and interest. These three series of notes Make
a grand aggregate of $830,000,000, all disposed
of within a single year, in the home market,
exclusively, and at par. Under the direct su
pervision of the Treasury Department, be
tween the beginning of August, 1804, and the
ISt Of February, 1805, a period of six months,
the sales Of the first series of the loan refined
$130,000,000, Or A weekly average of $5,000,000
Late in January, 1805, Hon. William P. Fes:
senden, then Secretary of the Treasury, reap.
pointed Kr; Jay Cooke general Loan Subscrip
tion Agent of the Department, the duties of
which position he had demonstrated his emi
nent fitness to discharge during the process of
marketing over five hundred millions of the
five-twenty loan, the popular precursor of the
emphatically more popular seven-thirties.-
Mr. Cooke formally assumed charge of the
seven-thirty loan on the Ist of February, and
promptly revived the admirable sub-agency
system, which he had organized during his
first official connection with the nutional
finances. Between the Ist of February and
the 10th of the current month of July, Mr.
Cooke's agent, acting under his personal su
pervision, sold $700,000,000 worth of seven
thirties, thus running up the daily average
rata of sale to within a fraction of eq,eoe.ooo, or
equal to the weekly rate of distribution; under
the Treasury management. Never, in the his
tory of nations, was such an enormous amount
Of money raised for public use, with such ex
traordinary rapidity and success, as in the in
stance of the great seven-thirty loan.

Boston Boot and Shoe Market, July 27.
The Reporter says:
• There is a gratifying increase in the Ail/.
meats of Boots and Shoes from this market
the past week; the quiet that has prevailed so
long has disappeared, and the sales are quite
up to anticipation of previous dates.
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. The styles are
gradually changing from tne square to round
toes, though for pegged work moderately
round are us good request at present. On.
sewed work they are already making the toes
quite round, and other kinds will follow soon..
Alllotig the shipments we notice nearly 000

•Wtimiffi TO EAT Dratuo THE FlthrOD Thum.
At no season of the year is proper attention to
diet more essential to health than during the
'extreme heat of summer. The reasons for this
are obvious. Hating too - Much, at iinproper,
intervals, or of unsuitable' kinds of food, is
certain to exact nature's .preseribed. penalty.
Beyond doubt, dinner is. the most iMportant
diurnal meal. The place to got it, with eery
tainty that you are doing the wisest - thing for
your health, is at the celebrated Dining Si
loons of Mr. J. W. Price, southwest corner of
Fourth and Chestnut streets. Ills bill of fare
is always seasonable, inviting, and satisfactory
to the most epicurian taste ; and his table
beverages, if loss varied than at some few first
class hotels, are ample and of excellent quality,
In serving up vegetables, we doubt if Price
has a rival in the country ; while his fruit and
ice-cream desserts are universallyappreciated.
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.
