THE ATLANTIC 'TELEGRAPH. -
It iS not an ascertained fact that the At
lantic Telegraph is a complete failure, al
though what is called insulation is reported
to have been lost, when seven hundred and
fifty miles of the cable had been payed out.
If the electric power finds any passage of
exit, no matter how small, in the cable, this
insulation is lost—precisely as the contents
of a cask of wine must be lost if the vessel
leaks. Thus, at a distance of eighty miles
from Valentia, faulty insulation was de
tected, and it was discovered, on winding
in the cable, that it had been caused by the
perforation, by a bit of wire, of the hemp
and pun percha forming the outer protec
tive integument of the wire—the hole not
being larger than what would have been
made by adarning-needle. The eablS may
have broke—a not improbable circum
stance, seeing that it was not in one con
tinuous line, but in lengths of one hu n d re d
to one hundred and fifty miles which had to
be mechanically spliced together on board of
the Great Eastern. A hard or sudden strain
on any one of these splices might break the
cable. It is possible, after all, that the sci
entific men on Wait the Great Eastern may
have overran the submerged cable, discov
ered where "the fault" iay, repaired the
injury, and proceeded on her stupendous
work. We shall not learn the facts for
some days. In the event of total failure,
the Great Eastern would return to Ireland
and report particultitS, Which we must pa
tiently wait for. It would appear, from
the partieulai . s whieh we published yester
day, that the length of rope shipped on
board the Great Eastern was not sufficient
to reach from Valentia to Heart's Content
This, if true, shows a singular want of pru
dence, prevision, and calculation. We can
scarcely credit the statement, for the actual
length of the cable has been reported by its
makers at two thousand three hundred nau
tical or two thousand seven hundred statute
While there is even a shadowy chance of
the Atlantic Telegraph having been success
fully laid, the locality of " the fault" having
been ascertained, and requisite repairs
Made, as before, it would be premature to
write its epitaph but we may observe that
it had come to be considered as almost ex- .
elusively a British nndertaking, though a
great deal of American money was invested
in it, and the tariff of prices—one dollar
per letter !—was considered so extortionate
as to be nearly prohibitory. It has lately
been explained, however, on the part of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, that this
tariff was only temporary and experi
mental, and would be adjusted to satisfy
the public, as soon as ever the working
capability of the line was ascertained. In
the event of success, it was contemplated
to lay down a second cable, and the
increased power thus obtained Would cer
tainly enable the rate of charge to be
reduced in a reasonable degree. The other
objection being national, cannot be so easi
ly got over. Both termini of the line being
on British soil, the whole concern became
essentially British. Were the line werk
ins . , and any diiticitlty to arise between the
"United States and Great Britain, our com
munication with the Old World would be
cut off at once. It was plausibly stated by
Mr. Cvnus FIELD, on the part of the Atlan
tic Telegraph Company, that an interna
tional treaty could provide for American
participation in the advantages of the line,
but in the event of war—which may God
mercifully avert—this would be impossible
and no less an authority than that eminent
statesman and author, the late Sir GEOROE
CORNWALL LEWIS, declared that "all
treaties are abrogated by war for the time
being."
These arc the reasons why not much in
terest, comparatively speaking, was taken
in this country in the second Atlantic Tele
graph. It was generally felt that we ought
to have had one terminus in America, as
the other is on British soil, and that we
had been, in a manueri, overreached in
havine both termini on Brirish territory.
Naturally enough, too, we preferred that
line now constructing by our own enter
prise, skill, and capital, which is known as
Corer-Ns' Overland Telegraph, and which
promises to place us in communication
- with Europe by way of St. Petersburg. No
doubt a third sub-Atlantic , telegraph will
be attempted, if the second really has met
with irretrievable failure ; but, at all events,
we shall have Commis' Overland line
within a comparatively brief period.
IMPERIAL EIIPECENIOSIVE.
Should any of our readers be burthened
with more money than he well knows
what to do with, we can recommend them
a mode of investing it so securely that his
capital will be lost forever—lost as complete
ly asif he had gone out to sea, and dropped
it in the oceari-depths—,and he will have
but a Flemish account of the interest after
a year or two at the farthest. MAxrut-
LIAN, of Austria, who condescended to ac
cept the crown of Mexico, some sixteen
months ago, and has already resorted td
two foreign loans in order to raise the wind,
is about putting out proposals for a third.
He means again to try his luck in Paris,
where, indeed, he obtained the needful
only a few months ago. The first loan,
to be applied to his establishment on the
throne, was raised in the money markets
Of Paris, London, and Vienna. The
second was exclusively a French specula
tion, as the Austrian capitalists had be
come aware of the instability of MAxi-
VI7.TAIsi'S throne, and as under the law
prohibiting lotteries in England, it was
impossible to negotiate a loan there, the
programme of which actually included a
lottery.
MAXIMILIAN was literally over head
and ears in debt when he accepted the
crown offered to him at Miramor, by half
a dozen ill-conditioned Mexicans, traitors to
the republic, who acted as the servitors and
tools of the Emperor NAPOLEON. He has
no more idea of the value of money than had
Mr_ Harold Skimpole, in "Bleak Rouse."
He has always been thriftless, extrava
gant, and dishonest. More than any other
prince of the present century has this tall
Austrian enabled us to realize the force and
truth of SALLIMVS description of CATALINE,
that he was profuse of his own, covetous of
the possessions of others. He has never
squared his expenditure by his means, and
therefore always has been in a chronic state
of impecuniosity. In retirement at Mira
mor, he contrived to spend as much as
- when he was viceroy of Venetia. lie has
ran through about $100,000,000 during his
sixteen months' reign, and no w , out of
cash again, wants to borrow more. we
hear something, now and then, of his gen
erous nature, his excellent heart, and his
agreeable manners ; but he can easily be
generous with other folks' money ; his good
heart forgets what misery his creditors may
sustain through his dishonesty ; and, no
matter how plausible his address, he is no
more than an imperial Jeremy Diddler, a
royal Robert Macaire.
Of course, Mexico cannot long bear
with MaxturmAx. Her debt, large when
she was republican, has increased since she
became imperial. The public may rely on
it that, whenever MAxuarmAx is sent back
to Europe, Mexico will repudiate all the
loans which he has obtained. There will
be great dissatisfaction among the leaders
when this oteurs. We recommend Maxt l
MILIAN not to take Paris on his way hack
to Austria, for the law of arrest for debt
is very stringent in that capital ;hiscreditora
might lock him up in the Rotel de (Melly
(the debtors' prison,) and his deliverance,
thence, without payment in full, might be
uncertain. There is a precedent for the im
misonment, as a debtor, not only or a
Prince but of a ging. Over a Century
ago, a Westphalian gentleman, Rallied
THEODORE TON NEIITIOFF, who was
pretty much of an adventurer, landed in
Corsica, then under the yoke of the Repub
lic of Genoa, made large promises of achiev
ing independence, was elected King by the
General Assembly, gave his subjects a new
constitution, coined money, conferred titles
of nobility, created an order of Knighthood,
waged war with Genoa with partial sue
tie] success, and, after some months' reign,
finding his popularity on the wane, retired
from his Kingdom, to which he never re
turned—though he made two attempts, both
times with some sort of an armament. At
last, after much wandering and many mis
fortunes, King THEODORE found his way
to London, where, he was well received.
As was his custom, he got into debt, was
iMprisoned for some years in the King's
Bench Prison, where he used to - receive
visitors with regal ceremonials, and finally
was liberated as a bankrupt, on making
over to his creditors his Kingdom of Cor
sica, which was publicly advertised as an
asset. He died soon after, in December,
1756. It is to be feared that if MAXIMILIAN
made over his Mexican empire to his cre
ditors, it would be about as unprofitable an
asset as • WaS THEODORE'S Corsican King

TEXAS PAPERS—No. 7.
TILE PEOPLE AWD Eirr. rs.r.ms
I think that I have heretofore said that the
grain section of the State has received its in
habitants from ArlianSaS, Missouri, the West,
ern and .Iqorthern States, and Europe. Its
climate and productions arc suited to them
all, and they are almost universally pr osperous
ill their new homes. Their country is an in
termixture of rolling timbered and, prairie
lands, and grows ahnOst anything planted in
abundance. Cotton is raised all over it some!,
what; but not so largely as farther down 'She
country. It is a very much better stock region
than are the midland counties; and almost
every farmer is also doing a good stock busi
ness ; many of them keeping very large herds.
They arc never enclosed; only occasionally a
few for immediate domestic purposes.
All the rolling lands of the State are more or
less divided into prairie and timber; in some
places the wood predominates; in others, the
prairie. The river bottoms (valleys lying
along the river courses) are usually very
heavily wooded and extremely fertile; grow
ing from one to two bales of cotton per acre,
and of along staple. The post-oak lands often
lie in very large bodies ; are usually sandy,
quick soils, but soon exhausted. They arc,
especially when lying pear river bottoms, the
best hog ranges in the State. Blackjack lands
are still lighter, and less enduring than the
post-oak ; and with plenty of other lands un
occupied, - no prudent farmer will open his
fields amongst them. The prairie lands are
either smooth or hogwallow. The smooth
prairie is sometimes light and sandy; par
taking of the nature of the post-oak lands—
easy. to work, but liable to ask for manure
aft Or cropping a few years;.or rich, deep,
dark, heavy lands, not so easy to work, but
seemingly inexhaustible. The hogwallow is
a deep, black, sticky land, lying in a eon
tinned series of hogwallows, looking exactly
as though at some time the whole country had
become soft, and just then a herd of hogs,
large enough to cover it over, at about a half
dozen to a square red, had taken possession .
each one rooted himself out a bed, laid down!.
for a wallow, and then walked away, leaving
the whole country thus wallowed to harden
and grass over as they left it. It is by far the
richest of prairie lands, and Cotton is raised
upon it at nearly the same rate as upon the
bottom lands. It has a terribly haid, tough
sod, and is never thoroughly broken up at the
first ploughing. Any land that is good cotton
land is also good corn laud; but corn grows
- where cotton fails.
THE CULTURE
of Texas lands (excepting that occupied by
the Germans and a few Northern men) is stn.
venly in the extreme. The land is never well
ploughed. It is simply skimmed or rooted up
upon the surface, leaving the subsoil un
stirred. Often for corn there are but three
little furrows ploughed fOr each row at first,
leaving an the land between the rows to be
ploughed out at weeding time. The hoe is
unused in its culture ; and when we remem
ber that a man and a mule are expected to
take care of all the cotton the man can pick
(and cotton requires clean culture,) and be
side that to plant and take care of some fif
teen acres of corn between whiles, the only
wonder is that it gets any attention, or yields
any crop at all.
There are some strange theories among
Texan farmers. For instance, they insist that
deep ploughing won't do at all; that in dry
seasons the water must be kept near the sur
face, and in wet the corn roots must have the
same treatment. So you see they never
plough down, lest in dry weather the water
shall run away, and in wet weather the roots ;
forgetting, or refusing to believe, that the
true theory is exactly the reverse. In dry
weather the corn must be able to send its roots
down for moisture, while in wet seasons the
water must be let lown, and the roots will of
themselves remain near the surface.
They also have another theory : that in dry
seasons there most be no hoeing, no stirring
of the Soil, and actually refused to be con
verted from the error of their ways, even
though Mr. Kendal kept his hoes busy through
out the season, and raised forty bushels per
dere, wiled other fields rotted up their leaves
and refused to grow any ears at all.
I have seen corn throughout the state, and
when great crops were raised also, selling for
two dollars per bushel ; often - at one dollar,
owing to press of immigration; but a fair
average is fifty cents. And this, considering
the great yield, is a great price. Wheat sells
as high, Or higher, than in Pennsylvania, and
cotton was, in former times, sold at from eight
to twelve cents per pound, The yield being,
say a bale to the acre, and a bale being five
hundred pounds, it left a handsome pay for
For• a few years prior to iseo negro men—
eunimon field hands—sold on an average in
Texas for fifteen hundred dollars, or Were
hired fur two hundred and fifty dollars per
year, and the hirer furnishing board, clothes,
aml medical attention.' Every man employed
in cotton culture was growing rich, and raising
and the negroes possible.
THI: -MARKETS
for corn, wheat, and other grains was at home,.
The cotton was drawn to Red River, Houston,
Lavaca, or else to, Mexico. There are large
cotton establishment,,, in tmobses,lina, and they
were pretty largely supplied with the raw
ma
terial from Texas. 1 have seen cotton teams
on the road for Chili ust beginning a
trip of eight hundred miles on the way, They
were sixteen mule teams, worked four abreast;
owned and driven by Mexicans, and having a
herd of forty spare mules along, from which
the teams were to be kept good by exchanging
from time to time. The Texan teams are often
a couple of months on the road, going at the
rate of about twelve miles a day. But as they
draw cotton as they draw lumber, and live the
same, it costs but little, and still leaves a good
profit. Of course, these long trips are from the
fur interior. If the crops of Texas were the
same in quantity (and they are equal or excel)
as of the old States, still in snaking
of ,Gloat value, or income, it must be remem
bered, that in the North, the laud mutt be
parattetlL-in. Texas, not. In the North the
summer must be largely spent, and the land
constantly dressed, to prepare for winter food
for. stock—in :Texas, not. In the North the
winter must be spent in feeding stock—in
Texas, not. In the North pastures must be
bought and fenced and kept in repair to graze
the stook—in Texas, not. In the North land is
expensive and often poor, and has to be tho
roughly worked to yield a crop—in Texas,
neither. In comparative
MEM
Texas stands far ahead of the North, if the bot
tom lands and bayou country is avoided. I
have seen more of this country and worn out
more saddles, simply for health and comfort,
than any man I ever met ; and nowhere upon
this Continent, or its islands, have I ever found
as salubrious a climate as that of the highlands
of,Western Texas. But if there happens to be
Some young doctor, reader of my papers, who
is anxious to emigrate, but seared by the ter
ribly healthy revelations of the last few lines,
let me reassure his fainting heart; by telling
him to go, by all means, and to carry with him
a big box of calomel and quinine—ealomel and
quinine are the doctors , only medicines in
Texas; at any rate, I know nothing of their
using anything else, save a Mae whikley now
and then—but, keeping an eye to business, he
must settle in the low country or in the Gulf
towns ; and then, if he isn't killed himself, he
will have the chance to help kill any number,
with chills And fever, intermittent fever, ty
phoid fever, yellow fever, cholera, and various
other like diseases to the faculty agreeable,
to say nothing of sundry snake bites and de
lightful gunshot wounds, and big knife holes.
8o the doctor need not despair. The yellow
foyer and cholera have often ravaged the coast
district, but never gone into the northern,
middle, or western part of the State. When
carried there they never spread.
Texas is so large a State that a description o

THE CLIMATE
Of any one section will not answer for it all;
but I will give the climate of ita capital; Aus
tin, and by reference to the map, that of any
other given place can be judged of.
Its summers arc long, but not oppressive;
because there is a constant breeze arising from
eight to ten o'clock in the morning, keeping
the air sweet and COOL I have often observed
that cattle work less with their tongues out
there than in New England. There is but
little wiuter-ice very seldom making—and
yet there are occasional northers (cold North
winds,) during which people who are out suf
fer ; and sheep and hogs, (being thin-blooded,
unprepared for cold, and unsheltered,) chill to
death. They never freeze, but simply chill
and die. I once knew an old negro Man to do
the same, in the open prairie, during a norther,
There are but very few weeks of the year in
which flowers Of some kind are not blossom
ing in the open air.
The country, climate, and crops need no im
provement, nor do the opportunities for ac
quisition of wealth. But, lest the picture may
.look too bright to be real , and set somebody,
who is already well enough off at home, into a
fever to move, f Will throw a grain into the
other scale, fly telling him that in Texas, the
church, school-house, mill, store, and fencing
as well as building timber are sometimes far
away. This is as lie is, pleased to have it,
though, when he settles. That the snakes,
lizards, Scorpions; tarantulas, and centipedes
are now and then your visitors; that ants
fleas, and bed-bugs are,everywhere. The
houses are poor, and the barns are nowhere;
and yet, all in all, it is the best State in or out
of the Union to emigrate to.
As a specimen of the old-styled Texan dwel
ling houses, I once crossed the Brazos River
in a shower, and took shelter in a Cabin that
stood upon its banks. The wind drove the
rain across the room from between every two
logs. There was but one seat in the house
shltered from the blast, and that was behind
the door, which was battened. The owner was
all Old man, intelligent and talkative. Before
leaving, I asked him how many negroes lie
owned ; Iris answer was 4 , I work a couple Of
hundred, but the Lord knows how many old
and little ones there are; I don't? , "How
much land have you?" said I. "Forty-five
hundred aeres.' , " How many cattle)" I don't
know anything about it; my brand is all over
the country." "How long have you lived
here?" "Fifteen years." "Why don't you
build a better house? , wwell, now rm just
in the other man's fix. When it is good
weather this one does me, but when it rains,
why, you see, I can't do it then."
But that Gras in 153, and since that time good
houses have been going up here and there all
over the State. I have my mind's eye at this
moment upon a beautiful little dwelling upon
a simple stock ranch, in Hays county, that
would do honor to any village in Pennsyl
vapia. It is a White limestone cottage, built
of rough blocks, in form of a Greek cross,
crowning a little liveeak eminence, exactly
upon the ridge of the water-shed, and so situ
ated that the water running from its north
eaves finds its way throng the Onion into the
Colorado, and that from its south eaves,
through the Blanco, into the Guadalupe.
Standing in the midst of those great natural
pastures, covered with flocks and herds ; sur
rounded by its cattle-yards and little cedar
islands ; - with a magnificent stretch of undu
lating country lying open upon the one side,
and a great bank of rugged hills upon the
other—fanned cool breezes 'upon the out
side and refreshed by a well-selected library
upon the inside, that little ranch eottage—lone
ly as it standsto an miambitiOns man would
'not be hard to take, especially if a thousand
cattle went with it to sugar-coat the dose.
A Southern Portrait of General Grant.
The Richmond Times, in noticing the ovation
to General Grant in Boston, has the following
appreciative remarks :
"It is not every man, nor is it every event,
that can kindle warmth in the cold hearts of the
Bostonians. It requires an extraordinary Man,
or an event of uncommon importance to do so.
Itisnot surprising that the people of the North
should turn out in great numbers to meet Gen.
Grant. Such a man is not to be met with every
day or every year. He is one of the first com
manders of this age, and, as a man, he has dis
played qualities that must attract universal
respect. Plain and. unpretending in his ad
dress, of modest speech and manners, disdain
ing to court attention by the trappings of of
fice, he pursues the even tenor of his way like
a quiet, private gentleman. To the skilt
and courage of the soldier he uffites that so
lid integrity which is, oftener found in pri
vate station than in the haunts of public
life. The South does not yield to the 'North
in respect for and appreciation of General
Grant. While the Southern people are far
less excitable and demonstrative than the
people of the North, we believe that they look
upon G eneral Grant with as much interest and
real admiration as he excites among them.
Richmond fell before him, and. with it the GO
vernment of which it was the capital; but to
this day that noble conqueror has never en
tered its gates. Whether this proceeded from
delicacy of feeling, from a generous and re
spectful consideration for the people, or
from any other cause, it must always present
him in a most favorable light. A vain.,
weak, egotistical man Would have delighted
to exhibit himself under such circumstances,
and to be pointed out as the hero of the
occasion. General Grant, from the close of
the war up to this hour, has maintained
a dignified silence, reserve, and seclusion
that contrasts most favorably with the preten-
tious airs and pompous display exhibited by
many men of greatly inferior mark and merit.
While they swell and strut like the vain. pea
cock, he shrinks from observation. lie cannot,
of course, be expected to bury himself, but as
far as it is possible he appears to keep himself
out of the range of observation. We do not
doubt that it would be far more agreeable to
him to be permitted to make his present tour
like a private,
.ordinary citizen; but this is
out of the questaen. There is a universal de
sire to see, shake hands - with, and bestow pub
lic honors upon the great General who has
won the proudest name and fame of all the
Northern Generals, and who, in his great
place, has borne himself with so becoming a
modesty."
Oyu ANDERSOSIVILLE DlAurrits.—A private
letter from, Capt. James M. Moore, A. Q. M.,
who was despatched to Andersonville, Ga.,
for the purpose of giving decent burial to the
remains of our prisoners who were murdered
by the late rebel authorities, has been received
in Washington. Capt. M. writes under date of
July 2fi :
"We are encamped within one hundred
yards of the prison pen of Andersonville, and
it is, in the fullest sense of the word, nothing
more than a pen.' A human pen, where thirty
thousand of our brave soldiers were huddled
together in an enclosure not two hundred
yards long and scarcely one hundred wide,
- where they were exposed to the rays of an al
most tropical sun for months, resulting in the
death of- thousands. This prison-pen should
never be permitted tobo destroyed, but should
stand until its stockade falls to the ground by
decay, so that the unbelieving of the North
may be able to look on thisground and con
vince themselves of the inhuman cruelties
perpetrated by the Southern leaders on our
prisoners. This is about the hottest place in
the South. There i.re yet about fourteen
thousand head-boards to letter and put up, and
I may. not get home before the latter part of
August."

too true, as I have since ascertained posi

all over with paint, and Meat shockingly dis
figured herself to gratify a prurient taste to
be in the extreme of fashion. Looking around
me at the dinner table to-day I saw no less
than six ladies disfigured by a daub of blue

connecting the northern and southern parts
of Philadelphia on its eastern front. The tide
of travel is up Third and down Second street.
One of the peculiarities of the road is an ad
mirable arrangement which the public will
appreciate. Upon the crossing of any of the
"steam railroads" which intersect the track,
the conductor goes ahead of the car, to see
that no locomotive is approaching. This is an
effectual safeguard against collision, and pas
sengers may therefore feel safe from any dan
ger of colliding with steam cars. This ar
rangement ought to be made by every local
railway company that crosses tracks at
grade, upon which steam is used as the
motive power. We commence our sketch of
the Second and Third street route at the
southern terminus, on Moyamensing avenue,
below Tasker street. This section of the city
has considerably improved within a few years.
Old landmarks, of times anterior to the Revo
lution,-even at so long a period as when the
Swedes settled there, are almost gone. There
are one or two left, which carries the mind
back to the early history of Philadelphia.
This section of the city, at so late a period
as 1838, was almost wholly appropriated to
the culture of mortis municautis. Everybody
was insane on the silk business, and finespun
castles were erected in the airy vision of the
imagination. In a year or so, however, the
projectors ascertained, to their great disap
pointment; that castle* built upon worms
were as unstable as those built upon sand;
the silken threads that were to bind them in
wealth were, as flax touched by fire. Down
went moms naldticaidis, and potato and cab
bilge patches, oats, rye, and corn sprang up in
its place, and so continued until the progress
of improvements set in that way. A few mul
ticaulis trees are yet standing in a lot a short
distance south and east of where the cars stop.
These are the only things left to mark the era
of insane speculation of only twenty-seven
years ago. At that time Third street was not
Open as it public thoroughfare. A creek, which
emptied into the Delaware, extended west to
Ninth street, crossing Moyamensing avenue
below Reed street. A bridge spanned the
stream near this point, over which the " neck
ers" had to pass to reach the city with their
garden produce. We will pass by the horrible
ghost stories of the past as connected with
this section, as we have an interesting one on
the lower part of the downward trip.
The Stockdale school-house, known as the
"house on the hill," remarkable for its inany
echoes, and the Redwood-street Presbyterian
Church are shortly passed by in the moving
-panorama.
This church, we may say, was erected mainly
through the exertions of. the Rev. Mr. Owens,
a brother to General Joshua Owens, who won
the rank of general by his valor in the recent
rebellion. It is a pretty, substantial structure.
When it was built it was considered that Sun
day never reached So southern a point, but
since that period several other churches of
Protestant and Catholic denominations have
been erected at a considerable distance far,
ther south. Even the blessings of Evangelism
have begun to Shed their rays upon the eon_
Hoes of "Smoky Hollow," still farther south.
But let us continue on our route. The ear
passes Jefferson Square on its eastern front.
A moreheautiful enclosure cannot be found in
Philadelphia. Through the energy of, a ?lum
ber of citizens of old Southwark, it iS soon to
be beautified by tho erection of a : -

This statue will be full life•size of the la
mented, martyred President. It will be placed
on a pedestal six or eight feet high, in the
centre of the square, the whole to be sur
rounded with a neat and appropriate iron
railing.
ODD- p.p.r.towsi HALL.
The car passes in front of the Odd Fellows'
Hall, below German street, the lower part of
which is popularly known as Long's Varieties,
containing, among other things, a fine and
valuable museum, the best and most enter
taining in the city of Philadelphia. There are
lilandreds of relies of antiquity and trophies
of various kinds at this well-known resort.
R. ST. JAMES
After passing directly in front of St. Peter's
Episcopal Church, at Pine street, the car pro
coeds along through a neat business portion
of the city—eatensive • storehouses, wholesale
commission merchants, bank_ buildings, and
the brokers' headquarters, where "bulls" and
" , bears" snort and growl, then hug each other.
The first object demanding some attention
is the old
This old building, in which there have been
so many local political squabbles, seems to be
sadly neglected. It is a singularly constructed
edifice, having been erected with the view
of giving the public as much trouble as possi
ble-in gaining access to its council chamber.
In latter years the commissioners who con
trolled the district 'were pretty much all De
mocrats. Although the principle of Democra
cy is one thing, yet there were two kinds of
Democrats who composed the Board of COM
missionen. -One set was known as the " Regu
lars? the other as the "Guerillas. , Within a
year or two of the period of consolidation of
the city these two parties used to indulge in
the grossest personalities and recriminations,
until it seemed as though they had been elect
ed for the purpose of turning the hall into a
"bear garden." They certainly misrepresented
the people, because there never existed a more
quiet, orderly, well-to-do people than the resi
dents of the Northern Liberties. The hall is
used for police purposes. The mastic is peeling
off the front, and thus its appearance does no
credit to the public authorities.
After passing in review the busy scenes of
industry and prosperity incident to Phila
delphia enterprise, the attention of the spec
tatorial passenger will be somewhat attracted
by a neat little church building, below George
street. . This edifice belongs to the Methodist
episcopal persuasion, and is known as "nt.
John's." Another church, rough-cast, will be
observed, located some distance back from
the street line. This is the only church of the
kind, we understand, in this city. It belongs
to the denomination of "Bible Christians." A
Small, though pretty well filled grave yard is
in front of the building, extending out to the
line of the street. Through the marble slabs,
upright and horizontal, the Bible Christians
poised the way to gain entrance to their
church Minding. If there should be solemnity
in approaching a place of religiOus worship,
then it may be considered apropos. to have
burial places arranged as the aboV,e, for no
meditator can pass thrOugh without entertain
in grave reflections. The next place of note
is the

Upon turning into Germantown road from
Third street the car passes directly in front of
the line and well-built depot of the North
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, from which
point the steam pars run through a splendid
country, exquisite in the luxury of nature,
rich in the fertility of the soil, grand in its,
teeming vales, and inspiring in its "heaven

often make trips on this road for pleasure.
Starting in the morning and coming back in
the evening, they pass a day of delight among
the green hils and mountain spurs. Dinners

meals way be had at this rate, such as would
do credit to the "Continental"or the "Gi

by rosy-checked, healthy country girls,-not by
waiters dressed in white aprohs and the "In

take pleasure in extending thehospitalities Of
a Pennsylvania farmer's house, whose winning
smiles and decorous demeanor Charm and

The ear makes a sweep into Oxford stree
presently passing the
Tlf IZD REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH BUILD
at the corner of Hancock street. This is a
plain brick, substantial in its construction,
not very large, and fronting closely on the
street line of both thoroughfares, an iron rail

It is a commodious building, having extensive
stabling, and all the necessary apartments for
the business to which it is appropriated. The
arrangements are perfect, and well conducted.
At the present time a road, extending from

AN IMMENSE ELM TREE,
supposed to be nearly three hundred years
old. There is something singular in regard to
the elms. They sprang up indigenous to the
soil, extending from the Delaware to the
Schuylkill, in the northern part of Philadel
phia. Here and there, even to this late clays
are ti aces of the elms ; while in the south
ern section of the city, buttonwood or syca
more trees prevailed. The particular elm of
wioCh ri - e speak, is of immense size Perhaps
it has not its equal in Philadelphia. The main
stem branches off some distance from the sur
face of the ground; each branch—seven or
eight in number—being as large as other
forest trees generally are.
This tree/night be likened unto an umbrella,
under the shadow of which at least six hun
dred persons might assemble, Its long arms
spread out in all the luxuriousness of Nature.
The elm is a clean tree; no worms, moths, or
caterpillars disturb it, It rejoices in free im
munity from such postilenees, to which the
ornamental trees of the city are subject, It
was a smaller tree than this under which Wm.
Penn met the savages, and taught them their
A B C's in the alphabet of civilization. The
house which stands in the rear of this beauti
ful, graceful, and stately tree, was known, in
former years, as the f 4 Eirn-Tree Tavern." It
now a private residence, seemingly imbedded
in masses of foliage, flowers, and running vines,
pending from or entwining their tendrils
around well-constructed verandas. Until
within two or three years there were several
other elms in this vicinity, but they fell under
the power of the woodman'S axe, tO make room
for general improvements of art. It was a
pity, but it could not be helped.
At the junction of the rrankford road and
lliontgomery avenue, formerly Cherry street,
there are some splendid improvements. The
site here was once, and until recently occu
pied by a farm-house built of English.made
brick. It was probably erected at so early a
period as 1687. In regard to its architectural
appearance, it was porch-like, the gable being
the front, embellished with a very heavy eave
projecting over the side walls, the raking cor
nice butting 011 the base line. A pediment of
similar construction adorned the main door
way. There was almost as much wood used in
the cornice and raking mouldings as would be
required in building small bonus houses of the
present day. This substantially built edifice
was used in the Revolution as
WASIIII.I6ToN's TLEADQUAnTnitS
but it had to go, with the stately elms that
shadowed it, to make room for more modern
style of improvements. There were two
smaller buildings, similar in appearance, and
probably built about the shme time. On the
site of the old brick farm -house, there now
stands the chapel of the
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL vnuncit,
erected only three years since, and for which
the, old landmarks had to be removed. At
that time the vicinity still retained much of
its original siMplicity, and the march of im
prevenient Seemed to stop here. The chapel
is a stone structure, with ground and stained
glass windows, appertaining to the Gothic
style. ' Since its erection, other properties
have been erected in the immediate vicinity
that for press-brick structures with white
pOliSlied marble door and window jambs will
compare with any in the city of Philadelphia.
It seems that in a short time the whole of this
neighborhood will be studded with some of
the finest dwellings in our city.
But we proceed on our route, passing in re
view the splendid mansion and garden of MI:-
Harrison, a wealthy gentleman who has done
much to improve Philadelphia by the erection
of magnificent buildings—then come two well
known hotels, opposite each other; one known
as the " White horse" and; the other as the
"Black horse." In the days of long ago, these
public resorts were "far out into the country."
The ear turns west into Jefferson street
passing by immense saw -mills, and other ex!
tensive, busy hives of industry, until reaching
Second street. At the corner of these two
streets the
T. MICHAEL'S CIIIIRCH,

SOUTHWARK LIBRARY HALL,
a four-story brick building, on Second street,
nearly opposite. German. One of the members
informed us that the building has a masticated
front, and contains a very large and valuable
library ; many Of its volumes being rare, and
which if lost could not be readily replaced. Re.

It is one of the oldest churches in this section
of the city, of the Baptist denomination.

This is a very high circular building, located

IVECCACOE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
This well constructed building is located at
the corner of Reed street, almost joining its
eastern end with the Shiftier steam lire-engine
house. It is well attended by the young folks
of that vicinity. From this point to the ter
minus there are many interesting incidents.
The
YELLOW CIOTTAGid
stood, until within a few years, on the east
side of Second, below Greenwich street. It
was a place of great resort, and many gay and
festive scenes mark its history. From here
southward, were a number of old homesteads,
but all these have been numbered with the
things that were, and modern structures till
their places. The following is a brief account
of a
GHOST STORY,
rife in that part of the city for many years
The homestead of an irascible fellow, of Eng_
lish origin, who belonged to the aristocracy
prior to the American Revolution, who, it is
said, figured in the celebrated tournament in
honor of lung George the Third, that took
place in the old Wharton house, on South Fifth
street, was located a short distance below the
spot once adorned by the Yellow Cottage. It
is related that this crusty old fellow lived
nearer the heart of the city. On a certain
Christmas eve he ordered John to gear up the
horse and carriage, to drive to the old home
stead. The order was obeyed. The aristocra
tic specimen of British loyalty entered the
carriage, and was soon at the homestead. To
present a distinguished appearance he wore a
chapeau and sword. The night was very cold,
for the bleak, north winds had an unintel
rupted sweep over the country. Shortly be'
fore midnight he ordered John to get the
horse and carriage ready, in order to return
to the city. John was so entirely benumbed
with the severity of the atmosphere that he
did not respond as quickly as the gay "lord''
desired. The impatient old fellow went to the
door, to ascertain why the carriage was not
ready.
He called out, "John! John !"
Presently John appeared on the porch, but
was so cold he could not articulate clearly.
hY don't you get the torse ready l" shout
ed the lord of the manor.
John made no reply, for the reason above
stated; all he said was, " Moister."
"Moister !" shouted back the lord, "is the

John became frightened, and started back.

three times, at three minutes before the hour

person of the past three generations who had
an ocular demonstration of the apparition.
THE PURPLE AND ELISE.
This is about the only building left standing
in this section connecting the present with
more than a century since. Moore street was
opened and dedicated to public use about ten
years since. A earner Of the building came in
the way of the street line, and it was partly
hewn away. The old building is still tenanted.
Sixty years since, it was the 'resort of the
wealthy classes, who drove there on pleasant
afternoons, or even during the long evenings
of winter. Ilow the name of purple and blue
originated we could not exactly learn. We
have a traditionary account. It seems there
were two classes of aristocrats prior to the
Revolution, who Were distinguished from each
other by the wearing of purple or blue. One
set considered themselves better than the
other, and thus society was divided. As time
passed on, there was an gnglish tournament
held in that place, which brought the maleon.
tents together, and finally they relinquished
their notions of superiority in regard to no-
ble blood, and from this fact it is supposed the
name originated. The house was subsequently
called the Shepherdess, a sign to this effect
being displayed. The old folks of these times,
were buried in family vaults, on the premises,
and there are descendants living in affluence
in this city, who were appalled fifteen years
or so ago to learn that the tombs had been in
vaded by " Young America," thb skulls of 301110
of the bodies removed, and used to bail out
boats. All these relics of the days of long ago
have long since disappeared, and uow the ter
ritory thereabouts is filled with many rows of
comfortable houses, where the people live in
happiness and Prosperity.
The car passes along Second and turns up
Mifflin street, the northern boundary of the
immense stove works of North, Chase,
North • and sweeping around into Third
street;the immense Pascal Iron Works, with
its large improvements recently made by
Morris, Teske; & Morris, will be observed,
with its steaming pipes and busy hum of in
dustry. We may here state that the old South
wark Canal, a swindle of former days, passed
from east to west. It never was finished, how
ever. The Delaware owl, into which the tide
ebbed and flowed, was used by the Baptists as
a place for baptising the converts to that
church. The waters of the canal have long
since ceased to flow, and the place is improved
by the building of many tenements, inhabited
by industteaUS working classes. The Rich
mond brancß of this great railway shallreceive

inexbaustible ingenuity of the Parisian mo

very long, and thrown on one side, so as to

Great nosh of Emigrants to America.
PIPIT:IM THOUSAND POLES ON THE 'WAY
of the .London Globe,
[Paris Covresponden9C
July 28.1
Emigration en masse to North America is
contemplated by the fifteen thousand Polish
refugees DOW dispersed among the Swiss can
tons, and they are in active comMuniCation
with Washington, through their delegate,
Kownikolski, about the terms on which they
would be received as agricultural laborers in
the States. The Helvetic Diet has already
voted a subsidy to each? emigrant of one hun
dred and eight francs, and it, is expected that
the French Government will place some of its
transport Ships at tfieir disposal for convey
ance to their place of destiny.
TRYING TO STEM TUN CIIIIRRNT.
[Si seliholmCorrespondenee attendee Post,Jul3l7.)
In Norway they continue to deprecate the
extent to which emigration from that country
to America is still carried on. The departure
of her Stalwart sons from a country so thinly
populated is naturally regarded as a great ca
lamity ; but though• this expatriation of her
people had been going on for some time, it
was not until 1849 that It had assumed such
proportions as to excite alarm, and yet since
that time it has been steadily on the increase,
having in 1853 reached six thousand and fifty
persons, In 1557 the number having risen to six
thousand ivex hundred and sixty, and
having in lull attained its Maximum of
eight thousand eight hundred and fifty. It
may be satisfactory to Englishmen to know
that of these at least two-thirds em
barked for Canada, while only one-third
went to the United States, though there is rea
son toear that many of those who intended 'to go
to the British provinces /mid WO' destination after
wards changed, and that consequently many
have fallen victims in the /ate war.
In Sweden no correct returns of those who
have emigrated can be obtained. There is
good reason to believe that the average nuna
herwho have embarked_ from Sweden for trans-
Atlantic ports has pot annually exceeded fif
teen hundred, which, when °emptiest]. with
the number of those who are known to have
sailed from the less "populous Kingdom of
Norway, affords convincing proot of the
greater degree of contentment which prevails'
In this than in that portion of this united
Kingdom.
A Sanswr. SWINDLING Or FIRATIOS DPMECTIAD.
—The Cincinnati papers notice the detection
of a shrewd swindling operation which was at
tempted in that city on Saturday morning last.
It appears that early on the morning stated,
the house of James It. Louis & Co., in that city,
received a hill of lading for thirty-live barrels
Of petroleum oil, purported to have been
shipped by Silas Trumbull, of Pittsburg, on
the steamer Centralia: The bill of lading was
regularly signed, and appeared to be genuine.
Accompanying the bill of lading, in another
envelope, was a letter purporting to have
been written by Silas Trumbull, in which he no
tified Messrs. Louis & Co. of the shipment, and
requesting them to honor a draft upon tlielr
house for the sum of ninety-eight dollars, ad
vanced charges, when the draft was presented
for payment - . Suspicion was created by the
fact that the envelope containing the letter
was post-marked "Cincinnati," instead of
"Pittsburg," and was sufficient to put the
cashier on the alert. Some hours afterwards,
the draft for ninety-eight dollars, above al
luded to, was presented by a young man, or
dering that sum to be paid to the order of
William Ross. The bearer,giving his name as
- William G. Chatman, being closely questioned,
admitted that the draft was a forgery, and
stated that be had nine .or ten similar drafts
on well-known houses in the city, he merely
acting as " agent" for another party. Chattuan
was arrested, and a man giving the name of
George Chapot was also taken into custody,
Chapot had several drafts similar to the above
in his possession,. and also two forged drafts,
for one hundred and thirty dollars each, on
the : First National Bank of Pittsburg, signed
by W. B. MeCutcheon. Both of the parties
were placed in confinement. •
A reRSODT who "keeps tally" of everything
he reads, gives the following aggregates of
- American casualties by fire and wreck from

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The money market continues very easy at
about six per cent. for loans on Government
bonds and other prime securities. The dis
bursements by the Treasury Department, and
the continued additions to the national banks!
currency, are causing au accumulation of loair
able funds, which is likely to find a Vent this
fall in stock and other speculations. The stock
market continues very dull. Government
loans meet a steady inquiry, with sales of ten
forties at 97—no change ; and five-twenties at 109
—an advance of The seven-thirties were
steady at 99 , 4% State loans were a trifle better,
the lives selling at 99 1 4., and the war-loan sixes
at 100. New City sixes were in good de
mand at a further advance of 1, sales being
made at 91. The municipals sold at 91%.
The railroad share list was inactive but
firm. Reading was in moderate demand at
a slight advanee. Catawissa preferred sold
at 25%—an advance of % ; and Pennsyl
vania Railroad at sG34—a decline of %; 123 was
bid for Camden and Amboy ; 29 for Little
Schuylkill; 56 for Norristown; 63 for Lehigh
Valley; and 23% for Catawissa Railroad pre ,
ferred. Bank stocks were held firmly, with
no sales; 180 was bid for - North America; 112
for Philadelphia; 11734 for Farmers' and Me.
chanics' ; 45 for Penn Township; and 52 fur
Girard. In passenger railroad stocks there is
nothing doing; 7 was bid for Seventeenth and
Nineteenth ; 21 for Spruce and Pine ; and 10,4"
for Race and Vine. There was some little
movement in canal stocks at previon9 figures.
Schuylkill Navigation COMM= brought 54;

The following were the quotations for gold

3 P. M
Gold is without special excitement. The
premium continues steady. The demand from
importers is quite active ; but it is probably
an off-set to a large extent by the sales of the
Treasury Department_ It is presumed that
after the Iffib, when the interest on seven
thirties fall due, for which it is supposed the
sales of gold are intended to provide, the
treasury will discontinue its sale of coin.
About two weeks ago the principal officers
of tllo 'cow York coot al Brilroad Company,
with some Eastern capitalists, took a trill
along the lines of some of the Western rail
roads, with a view of selecting anarrow guage
route for a through line West, which is to con.
nect with-the Central road at Buffalo. The re
suit of the visit was the selection of the Lake
Shore, cievelaad and Toledo, Sandusky, Dar
ton and Cincinnati (from Clyde to Dayton,)
and the now air-line road from Dayton to Cin
cinnati, which latter is to be constructed by the
New York Central Company. This new route
takes in a majority of the best cities in New
York and Ohio—Cincinnati, Dayton, Spring
field, Urbana, Tiffin, Sandusky, Cleveland,
Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, and New York.
The Wilmington and Weldon road is now
carrying all freight, regardless of quality or
quantity, and giving receipts for its delivery
at the place designed. GoVernment officers,
in whose charge the road now is, will be 101111(1
at almost every station along the line of tra
vel, ready to accommodate shipping by the
road at all times.
Upon the East Tennessee and 'Virginia Rail•
road, regular passenger trains are now run
ning ftem Knoxville to Jouesborough. Spe
.cial trains Convey passengers and freight to
Carter's depot, 12 miles further, which is the
present terminus of the road.
The receipts of gold at New York from Cali
fornia this year compare - with the amount re
ceived during, the same time in 1504 as follows:
