EDITORIAL LETTER FROM
NEW YORK.
.N.Rw YoRK, Sunday, Aug. 20, 1865.
A week of gigantic events in the great
'city ! A week to make all the world
wonder. When, on the occasion of a late
flying visit to this strange and restless
metropolis, I attempted to describe some
of its characteristics, an affair like the de
falcation of young ETCHUM might not
r as hly h a ve been anticipated. That it
should quicken angry continent and
prompt a series of admonitory sermons
is natural ; but that any one should be
surpiised thereat is itself , surprising. Pre
-cisely such an eruption might have
teen looked for from such a Vesu
vius. Let us hope that it may be
-many years before another sea of guilt
shall overwhelm the names of once ho
nored men, and destroy the fortunes and
hopes of innocent and confiding citizens.
If the dreadful practices which produce
such evils can be discouraged and de
stroye.d, the late exposure or explosion,
however heart-breaking and costly, will
'prove to be a lasting benefit to the country.
I am not about to run a contrast bet Ween
Philadelphia and New York, and to take
,credit on our account, because lirrfflium's
shame does not attach to our skirts. The
occurrence is a black mark against ' this
proud metropolis, but it is a national dis
gene as well as a national warning. The
passion for sudden wealth is universal—
common to all the civilized races. It is
only more violent in this country because
its insatiable appetites are more generously
fed. Our California gold; the magical
growth of our new States ; the rapid recov
ery of our almost bankrupted railroad stocks;
the enormous premiums paid upon invest
inents ; the heavy rates of interest paid by
such States as Missouri; the surprising
discovery of oil in Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Ohio, and Kentucky ; the ascertained depo
sits of gold, silver, cinnabar, and copper in
the Rocky Mountain regions--these remark
able elements, most of them discovered dur
hag the war against the Government, and in
spite of that war cultivated and developed--
have produced a greed for speculation With
out parallel in the history of any nation.
makt New York should be the theatre
where the fruits of this passion are Vora
ciously collected—where, in a word, the
passion is most violent and reckless—only
WOWS that New York is the rendez
vous of all the adventurous men of
• - the nation. It is their exchange, their
bazaar—a world's fair, constantly in
session. Many of these men are non
residents_ lam not here one day that
I do not meet some of these keen money
makers. Frequently in Washington,which
is another of their favorite headquarters, I
know them at a glance. Their capital in
trade is their wits. Well-dressed, well_
mannered, talkative, obliging, adepts in
the science of making acquaintances, they
know "what is going on" better than your
statesman, and can make more money in
a day than your toiling man of business in
a month. They gather informatikan at the
oil wells, in the Territories, and 'wherever
there is a chance for speculation, 'and
bring it here for sale like any other com
modity. It is this class that has organ
ized the gold, silver and oil companies,
the prospectuses of which first decorated
the advertising columns, and then, after
their inevitable break-down, the police
reports of the daily papers. Young
KETornme belonged to the permanent ope
rators; but, like others, he was an insane
gambler—one who betted only to win hea
vily, and when unfortunate was unable to
pay. From stock gambling a thousand
vices are born. Its first effect is to familiar_
Ise the practitioner to the profession—the
gaining and the losing of thousands. A
man who goes horny ortek venturing twenty
thousand dollars a day on the rise of gold
or stocks, without having risked any
'thing but his credit, cannot save him
self or his family from extravagance.
As he wins, they squander. Many of the
lucky ones had begun life without much
education, and are, therefore, unable to
teach their children those lessons and to set
those examples, which are beyond value. A
sudden acquisition of wealth is not the
acquisition of good breeding, but too often
the cause of fatal frivoltty and " loud" osten
tation. Young people, unaccustomed to
work, soon leant when they are rich, and
soon imitate their so-called aristocratic
neighbors. To outvie others in jewels,
horses, carriages, opera-boxes, furniture,
and fine houses, is the absorbing ambition
of thousands, who, under other circum
stances, inured to honest industry, and
constrained to acquire knowledge sufficient
for the burthen of life, would be happy in
themselves and happy because they would
be patterns for others profitably to observe.
RErcrtuar's failuee, it is now said, would
not have happened had he had a little more
time. .No doubt many a narrow escape has
been made by men now beyond suspicion,
from catastrophes equally crushing. How
much tranquillity of mind has he who
deals with millions, who staggers under the
load of appalling obligations, and whose
brain is torn and tortured to devise ways
and means to - ward off the threatened blow?
The easy consciousness of independence, in
the midst of Oriental affluence, is denied to
the best of these men ; for as their prime
of life has been consumed in seeking for
wealth, that is the excitement they
must have ; and when there are
no more prizes to win, and they
have only their money to spend, books
and intellectual society are neither substi
tute nor relief; and domestic comforts, how
ever desirable, are not to be found under a
roof where all is hollow, artificial, and os
tentatious. If there is a better side to this
picture, however, it is in the fact that the
'Wealth of the nation is not hollow and arti
ficial, but substantial and coextensive with
our giograpbical limits. These wonderful
national resources may corrupt a great
commercial centre like New York, buttlicy
will be mighty instrumentalities in the res
cue of our outlying domain from solitude
and the savage, and in the redemption front
slavery and sloth of the recently, rebellious
States. Here are two glorious fields for
'adventure and for enterprise. Let us build
the Pacific railroad. "We have," says
I Mr. GnER - L - Fx, in yesterday's Tribune,
" girdled the Rooky Mountains with wire ;
let us follow the wires with the railway."
The old States will be thus welded to the
-new with "perdurable" bonds, and our
- Pacific empire will become alike populous
and powerful ; for emigration will follow the
iron - horse, and gold will return by a safer
process than the tedious voyage of two
oceans. Next, let us undertake, the real
rehabilitation of the Southern States. Gffer
ing everything but a restoration. Of the
slave aristocracy, they cannot long refuse
the beneficent policy of the President,
backed by the eager friendship of those
mighty interests which stand ready to
advance them everything for practical
and permanent reorganization. In this
double mission the money princes of
New York can play a leading pa 4, and
I think they will. It tempts them: to an
outlay that will return a harvest of profits,
:as well in a pecuniary as in a moral sense.

-01111 NEW MINERAL TERRITORIES.
To gain a correct idea of the gold and
silver producing portion of North America,
embraced in California, Arizona, Colbrado,
Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Wash
ington, one very simple geographical fact
must be clearly recognized. This fket, so
: grand as well as so simple, is the great
peculiarity in the structure of the two
American continents. They are united
into one mighty whole by, that lug.e, un
broken spinal column—the Andes—extend
ing from the far southern point of Cape
'Torn through all the latitudes of the tem
perate and torrid zones to the ice•bound
waters of the Arctic (Mean, maintaining
course parallel to and near the Pacific,
and preserving an invariable character—at
once auriferous and volcanic... At the isth
mus of connection between the two con
tinents this continuous ;.mountain chain
bifurcates, or throws off from itiolf another,
which diverges rapidly as the continent
widens northwardly, and is known among
us as the Rocky Mountains. From the
tropic heats of Mexico to the snow-fields
of the polar regions these two grand moun
tain chains stand side by side, but many.
miles asunder, supporting and suspending
between them a vast table-land, embracing
two-sevenths of the whole area of North.
America, at an altitude of six thousand
feet above the level of the oceans that wash
the eastern and western shores of the con
tinent,
The most eastern of these magnificent
mountain parallels, the Mother mountain
(Sierra Madre) is one immense mass,
throughout its whole extent, of red por
phyritic granite, which crops out in great
naked buttresses and bare walls, giving
it its claim to the title of the Rocky Moun
tains; and these masses, jutting like pro
montories into the plains or reaching in
high peaks to the very clouds, are—the gold
producing quartz. Around the outskirts
of this great bed of the precious metals, the
Spaniards of old enriched the world with
the mere outcropping treasures, the frag
ments thrust to the surface ready for gather
ing; but the true centre, where gold and
jewels lie heaped in endless amount, is yet
to be opened to the world's wonder. It is
no longer on the extreme edge of the moun
tain boundary of the auriferous land, but in
localities near its very heart, that the trea
sures of the future will be found. Nature
has tunnelled the great mountain by great
rivers, and broken it with passages that
permit easy ingress to the lofty plains,
which are divided transversely by moun
tain chains springing from the huge snow
peaks an the West (Biwa Nevada),
, and
from the grand granite basis of the Mother
mountain (Sierra Madre) on the East.
Thus the boundless treasure is divided into
caskets, laden to overflowing with wealth
of every kind—each one of them a happy
valley, where a temperate climate, healthy
breezes, and abundant vegetation first woo
mankind to congregate by the beauty of the
scene, and then reward their enterprise
and research by the inestimable wealth of
precious metals lying beneath the soil.
POLITICAL TRANSPOSITION.
Austria and Prussia are the great ruling
Powers of Germany, rendered somewhat
antagonistic by difference of religion—Aus
tria being Catholic, while Prussia is Luthe
ran. Another point of contrast is that prus
sia has long had the reputation of being a
constitutional monarchy, while Austria,
ever since 181.5, has strongly tended to
wards aristocracy. On a sudden, a change
comes o'er the spirit of their dream. The
King of Prussia is doing all he can to be
come an autocrat His Parliament having
refused, very properly, to grant him the
means of largely augmenting his army, when
all Europe was eminently pacific, he has
taken to levying taxes without the slightest
legislative authority; and, exactly following
the impoliey which made Louis PHILIPPE a
disguised fugitive from France in February,
1848, has used the strong arm of authority
to prevent his subjects having public din
ners, at whieh political sentiments might be
expressed, freely and legally. The Em
peror of Austria, on the other hand, ris
about lessening the national burthens by a
large reduction of his army, and is person
ally endeavoring to conciliate his Hungarian
subjects, by, conceding to them the rights
and privileges they demand as a people.
Ever since the surrender of Lombardy,
the Emperor of Austria has been endeavor
ing to govern his dominions by what is
called centralization—that is, by having
everything, even for the most remote pro
vince, regulated in Vienna. The centraliz-
ing principle, admitted to have failed, he
has adopted the federative. His leading
ministers have been " relieved" from fur
ther discharge of public duties, and among
them is his own cousin, the Archduke REG
NIER, President of the Connell. In his
place is Count BELCEEDI, the new Prime
Minister, a liberal and moderate statesman,
formerly Governor of Bohemia. The new
Chancellor of Hungary is a member'of the
Hungarian nobility. :The Hungarian and
Transylvanian Diets are about to assemble,
which shows that the plan of a central
Reichsrafh or Parliament, is abandoned.
Lastly, all prosecutions against the press,
and all press-punishments in the Attstrian
dominions have been stopped.
If FRANCIS-JOSEPH carry, out these libe
ral measures he may make Austria once
more the greatest power in Europe. If
Frrimmtic-Wiranat continue his violations
of the Prussian constitution, he will proba
bly find himself an exile in England, within
the next twelve months.
OIIR MARTYR PRESIDENT.
We are promised, says the New York
Nation,, a singular memorial of our late Pre
sident from Rome. The National Commit
tee, that secret organization which directs
the Italian party under the shadow of the
Papacy, is preparing to send to this coun
try a fragment of the mound or wall of SER
yrus Timmr.s, which dates back as far as
570 B. C., and whose vestiges may be seen in
the gardens of Ballust. On this will be
placed the following inscription in Latin
" To AnnAsAm LINCOLN, President of the
American Union, the citizens of Rome have
dedicated this stone from the wall of SER
yrus TULLIUS, that the memory of these two
valiant defenders of liberty may be asso
ciated together. A. D. 1865." The address
to President JOHNSON which accompanies
this relic establishes a parallel between the
two' characters whose names are .thus en-
joined
" Servius Tullius resembled in many re
spects _the great citizen whom America has
just lost. This king admitted the people to ail
the rights Of citizenship, distributed among
them the territory of Conquered nations, fa
vored the laboring classes, instituted the Cen
sus,. facilitated for the slaves the purchase of
their liberty, and made citizens of freedmen ;
in short, be gave order and unity to the Ro
man people, and, to accomplish this, had to
contend against the ambition of the patricians,
who regarded the common weal as personal
detriment. Nevertheless, just as Servius
would deserve to be called second founder
of Rome, since he changed her institutions to
assure her future grandeur, so, to our minds,
Abraham Lincoln is worthy to be known as the
second founder of American grandeur and
liberty, since, if primary laws of the fede
ration left open the wound of slavery, which
ill time .miglit perhaps have annihilated the
Union, the courageous President labored to
cure this wound, and tokeep all the members
of the nation bound Stoutly together.
" Lincoln fell beneath the knife of an assas
sin for having 'meant to abolish slavery, and
maintain the unity of America. Servius Tul
lius was the victim of a parricide, seconded
by the patricians who were opposed to the
emancipation of the people. Both, therefore,
at an interval of twenty-four centuries, es
sayed the same task and were smitten by the
same malice ; and therefore the Romans conse
crate to the memory of Lincoln a souvenir of
Servius Tullius."
=, DEMOCRATIC" FAIRNESS.
Some of the Opposition papers are try
ing to make a point out of the refusal of
the Union State Convention to adopt the
resolution of Hon. LEMIIEL Ton, of Car
lisle which is as follows
"That this convention,_representing the
loyal people of Pennsylvaia recognizes the
i
claims of our citizen soldiers, n its confidence
and gratitude, as superior to all others ; and
that, in token of the sincerity of this,iits de
claration, it will nominate none as candidates
for office who have not proved their 10-alty
and patriotism by services in the field against
the enemies of the Republic?,
And yet, after declining to consider the
resolution for the reason, as stated by those
who opposed it, that it was unnecessary to
establish by vote what was so clearly the
impulse of gratitude, the Convention on
the first ballot nominated two of the
bravest soldiers of the republic, by over
whelming votes, for the two State offices to
be chosen in October. The Copperheads
that copy the vote oh the resolution make
no allusion to the action on the nomina
tion !
"We dare not forget that Wlrz had reduced
his cruelty to a science—that his study was to
prolong the Ihres of his hundreds of victims
not by kind offices, but to gee how mueli of Ids
.hellish fiendishness they could endure. The
wish of the angry Emella to the betrayer of
her mistress, Desdemona—‘ May his pernicious
soul rot half an inch a day x—seemed to be the
motto of Wirz whenever a Union soldier was
brought prisoner into Andersonville. We
have printedthe proof of this mans brutality,
and ;we have seen Southern .men hang their
beads :,in shame when asked,' whether the

flection upon our profesSion iMpartialjour

A fairer way for the writer of these com
ments upon the extract credited to
"Exchange," would have been to say that
he cut it from this journal, THE PRESS.
Are we to account for the venom of the
comments by the attempted suppression
"Abuse" of Writ; whose deeds have
caused thousands of families to mourn, and
the proofs of whose atrocities are daily in
creased by the voluntary statements of his
surviving victims I For simply saying that
we "cannot forget" these things, we are
taunted by the Tribune with " abusing a
man in jail," and advised to "wait to see
the evidence." The recent tenderness of
the Tribune makes it excruciatingly deli
cate and susceptible.
TEXAS PAPERS—No. S.
288 HONER OF THE OATTLIG AND StIgHP
I have already stated that the Colorado is
the southwestern line of the reliable farming
section of Texas. That though the soil is
equally good on both sides of it, and the coun
try even More beautiful as well as more
healthy still farther west, yet there are but
comparatively few great farms ; ; and none en
tirely reliable for crops, because of the
droughts that often prevail. The most careless
traveller can but be struck with the evidences
of a dry country everywhere prevailing. The
prairies grow gradually larger and larger as
you go farther west, and put on more andmore
the garb of a dry climate. The mezquit-grass,
green, juicy and sweet in winter, but brown
and rusty in summer, though still hearty and
desirable for stock, becomes plenty ; prickly
pear and cacti appear; woodlands grow gam
and the river bOttores narrow, often with but
a thread of timber to mark the windings of
their courses. The live oaks in little islands
or single trees are scattered here and there,
and the CTOOked, scraggy, thorny, mezquit
moves in to take possession, when other trees
refuse to grow. Here, in the long days of sum
mer, the rich black prairies bake and crisp till
they seam and crack into long-winding clefts
along the surface that every day's sun parts
more and more, till they gape deep into, tiro
ground, and become horie-traps and man-pits,
into which" both beast and rider may, be
plunged together.
==!
Here, too, the rivers and creeks begin to run
according to their own notions of propriety,
1301:13.0 being largest at the mouth, some at the
head, and some at neither the one nor the
other.
The Blanco, for instance, starts in the moun
tains, a clear, limpid, bubbling brook, and for
a long way dashes on by leaps and jumps, as
though in a harry to see the Gulf; and gather
ing strength at every step, from the thousand
little rllls that here and there drop in to add
their vigor to its own, soon comes to be a river.
But scarcely has it left the region of peaked
hills, of cedar-brakes and of post-oaks, and
touched the open prairie that skirts the old
San Antonio road, before, as though alarmed
at the changes around it, it gathers itself into
a deeper, broader, smoother mood than usual,
and stops to consider. Then, as if afraid to go
On, or else determined to die in the land of
its birth, it sinks into the ground ; and, a
hundred reds below its deepest pool, its chart
nel is as dry as the carpet upon a parlor-
Boor ; and though here far from its mouth, it
never again assumes its old dimensions ; only
rising here and there to run for a little upon
the surface, and Ilion to sink away and hide
itself from sight again.
And the Blanco is but one of the many Texan
streams that have this curious habit of play
ing hide-and-go-seek with the traveller along
their banks. Along some of thbm, during a
single days' ride, a horseman might cross from
bank to bank a dozen times, either swimming
his pony or never wetting the nails of his shoos,
as he might choose a deep or a dry place to
cross at.
DIWIVNING THE CATTLE.
In tunas of the great rains in the mountains
these streams come thundering down with ter.
rifle force, and run with full channels from
end to end; sometimes filling the bottoms and
drowning the stock that happens to be in
them.
An old lady hi the vicinity of Little River
was once telling me of such an overflow of
that stream, and how the stock was drowned,
and her husband washed off with the cabin in
which he was sleeping, and how he climbed
Out upon its roof, and, when it went to pieces,
was caught in the thorns of a haekbur tree and
held till morning. And she wound up her
story by warmly and thankfully exclaiming :
" And Lori bless yer soul, don't ye think it was
a terrible lucky thing that my poor old man
was saved, when all the rest of the cattle in that
whole bottom went dead by drowning ter
death." And it seemed to give the good old
lady "a heap" of satisfaction to be told that it
was, indeed, "terribly lucky" that her " poor
old man" didn't "go dead with the rest of the
cattle.") But other streams here have freaks
Of their own as pecullai , A 5 this of "running
dry " and "drowningthe cattle."
WARM STREAMS
The traveller from Austin to San Antonio,
upon the old Mexican road, has ridden hardly
five m3les beyond the "Dry Ford" of the
Blanco, where, as he stands in the midst of its
sun-parehed channel, like the children of Is
rael in the midst of the cleft Jordan, he may
see its divided waters both above and below
him, when he comes upon the full banks of
another river, with water enough, if rightly
used, to carry the wheels of Lowell, Vpon
the farther bank he sees both a grist and
a saw-mill busily at work, and observes that
they scarcely use hundredth part as much
water as is running over the dam. And yet, if
he turns his horse's head up stream, and rides
but a fourth Of a mile, lie will find himself at
the very source of the river; or, if it please
him, riding around its head spring. It issues
from the ground, at the foot of a rocky hill,
and starts off at once at full size. And if the
traveller happen to stand upon its banks for
the first time in winter, when the grass of
the prairies is dried up and poor, he will be
surprised to see a herd of oid cows (who have
learned its peculiarities) standing in the
stream, with the water almost to their backs
and their tails up river, solemnly , shutting
their eyes and deliberately plunging their
heads undei water, and then sticking their
noses in the air with their mouths full of long
green grass, that is always growing upon the
bottom; and: when he puts his hand into the
water, no matter how cold a norther may be
blowing around him, nor how chilly the air,
its touch is warm and agreeable. It is the San
Marcos, one of the warm streams of Texas.
lUD=
I hardly need say that a country with
streams capricious as these has a limestone
foundation, with seams, and clefts, and holes,
and caverns that give subterranean passages
in all directions. Of Colirse wells are uncer
tainties in a country like this. Sometimes a
half dozen blows from a sledge, upon the lime
stone crust of a dry creek bottom, knocks out
a hole and opens up a well of running water
that never "goes dry." Again, one blasts for
fifty feet into solid tank, and strikes a vein of
water, simply to see it running off into stilt
lower depths ; or, perhaps, strikes none at all.
Still, if one settles by a spring, or sinks a large
enough cistern, he need not want for water in
kitchen.
As one rides along the San Antonio read, for
a hundred miles he is just skirting the broad
prairie on one side and keeping the rough
cedar and post-oak hills close upon the other—
these hills are the great sheep walks of the
State—and, were he to turn into these hills, he
could find in hundreds of localities caverns
and natural wells, of the catent of which no
body has any conception.
The formation of the country along which
this old San Antonio road runs between San
Antonio and Austin resembles somewhat the
foot hills of California. But a few miles back
from it, and a little higher up the Colorado,
and Onion, and Blanco, and Gaudalupe, lies a
country peculiar to itself, and different from
any I have ever seen elsewhere. It is a good
deal broken, thin-soiled, often rocky, and of
mixed prairie and timber. IVA Mlle are often
high conical bluffs, rising in the midst of the
valleys, and falling off from their tall Peaked
tops by natural terraces—the terrace edges
showing strata of bare limestone—down to
broad, but regularly rounded bases, resting
upon the plain below. Sometimes ; however,
the traveller comes to the rim of a broad, deep
valley, lying perhaps a hundred, or perhaps
five hundred feet below the general level of
thmeountry, around, and miles in extent, look
ing like great basins hollowed in the ground,
but always with a break through the Southern
edge, and a gorge leading away to the lower
country in that direction, through which they
are drained as dry as the hills around
them. And a marked peculiarity of these
great basins is, that as one stands upon the
edge Of the plain above them, or upon the low
plain within them, and casts his eye around
upon their rough sides, he observes them
rising by the same limestone terraces as the
conical bills, and the different strata from top
to bottom on all sides to exactly correspond
in level, thickness, and general appearance,
as though it had once been a level oOugtry (as
undoubtedly it was,) underlaid by these differ
ent strata ; and when, from:some interval con
vulsion, great sections sank clown, they were
broken off as they now appear, by the falling
in of the crust. And the same peculiar and
agreeing rock-lines are apparent in the forma
tion of all the conical hills lying in the same
neig-hborhoods. The country was evidently
originally raised in a uniform plain, but after
wards subsided, leaving these conical hills
standing alone, to show its primitive eleva
tion.
This country is also full Of water-lines . and
old water-marks, in some, instance allowing
clearly in the rock the wavC4ines and ripples
and many a shepherd, as day after day he fol
lows his flocks amongst these interesting hills
and valleys,and marks their strange features,
wonders how they could have happened, with.
out a 'single notion of the great geological
troths they so amply demonstrate.

Charles J. Colehester. "medium," arrested
at the instance of the United States Assesoor
in Rochester for refusing to take out'a license,
was subsequently indicted for " exercising and
carrying on the trade,business, andprofession
of a juggler without a license," and the trial
set down for to-day, before the United States
District Court for the Northern District of
New York, Hon. N. K. Hall presiding.
From the fact that this is tliefirstinstance in
which the subject of "spiritualism" has been
put to the test of judicial investigation an un
usual degree of interest has been manifested,
and the court-room was densely crowded.
Among those present were many Professed
believers in spiritualism—old men and old
women, youths and maidens gay—and all
manifested an eager interest in the proceed
ings. There were " rapping," "tipping,"
" writing," "bell-ringing," "banjo-playing,"
and other "mediums."
Colehester, the defendant, is an intellectual,
gentlemenly looking . individual, of modest
and unassuming manners, and decidedly pre
possessing in appearance. He is an English
man, between twenty-five and thirty years of
age, and has been• in this country about seven
years. It is to be understood that he did not
refuse to Comply with the demand of the Go
vernment °Meer to pay a license fee on ae.
count of the pecuniary consideration in
volved, but for the reason that he considered
that in so doing he would be virtually ac
knowledging the justice of the charge of "jug
glery."
Messrs. Josiah Cook and George B. Hibbard
appear as counsel for the defence. It was ru
mored at one time that Judge Edmonds and
other noted professionalgentlemen were to
take part in the defence, but such is not the
fact—the two lawyers above named alone
having charge.
The case was called on the opening of the
court this morning, and Mr, Cook announced
that the defence was ready to proceed. United
States District Attorney Dart thereupon re
marked that, on account of the non-arrival of
an important witness on the part of the peo.
ple, he should be unable to take up the case,
and a brief delay was granted. It was not
understood
.poeltiVely, however, that the
ease would be postponed until to-morrow,
or until this afternoon, or for any particu
lar length of time; and, as a consequence,
reporters, lawyers, and others remained in
the court-room and drowsily 'listened to a
case in which the United States of Ame
rica were arrayed against sundry packages of
Whibkhintroduced—the case, not the whisky—
by way of interlude while the "spiritual"
friends of and sympathisers withKr.Colchester
gathered in knots in theballs, on the stairs,
and elsewhere,and communed together. When
any of them could succeed. in button-holing
the persecuted " medium , ' for a short time. he

crs.—Bqr o Corn. Advertiser, Aug, 18.
Derby & Miller have published an Bvo vo
lume, pp. 808, written by Mr. Henry J. Ray
mond, and entitled "The Life and Public Ser:
vices of Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President
of the United States, together with his State
Papers, including his speeches, addresses,
messages, letters, and proclamations, and the
closing scenes connected with his Life and
Death." This may be considered as a Presi
dential biography. The events of Mr. Lin
coin's life, from his birth in 1809 until the
Presidential campaign of 1555, are condensed
into thirty ,
pages, and seventy more bring the
narrative down to his Domination, in May,
1860,, for the Presidency. The remaining 700
pages bring the public life of Mr. Lincoln to
its sad and unexpected close. Whoever de
sires to obtain a full and generally fair view
of the political history of the United States,
from May, IMO, to April, 1865, will find it here.
The bulk of the volume is caused by the inser-
tion of the speeches, letteri, messages, and
proclamations, during that time. Every docu
ment of importance is included, and the book
will be in request, therefore, for reference,
which will be much facilitated by the addition
of a good index. We notice an error on page
729. William Knox, author of the poem com
mencing
"Ohl why should the spirit of mortal he proud?"
'which Mr. Line()lirgo much liked, was not "a
young Seetchman, a contemporary of Sir Wal
ter Scott," but an Irishman, born and educated
in Belfast, who went to Edinburgh, after he
had written a small volume called "Songs of
Israel," and he died, in that city, before he
had reached the age of thirty. It is only fair
to all parties to mention here, with reference
to Mr. Raymond's detailed and highly interest
ing account (pp. 570-590,) of the peace negotia
tions at Niagara, in the Summer of 1864, that
Mr. Greeley, who took a prominent part hi
them, has questioned its accuracy; in several
points. No doubt, Mr. Greeley's own version
of the affair will appear in the fortheoining
volume of his History of the War. Mr. Lin
coln desired all the correspondence be pub
lished, " omitting only certain passages [in
Mr. Oreslayla letters] not at all essential
tO a full understanding of the subject, and
likely seriously to injure the Union cause
by infusing into the public mind
something of the despondency which Mr.
Greeley himself felt and openly avowed, con
cerning the prospects of the ceuutry."
Greeley insisted that, if his letters were pub
lished, it should be in full, ag he wrote them.
Mr. Lincoln, who believed that the corres
pondence would show •that he had ,no " change
of views" on the subject, had to submit, but
sent the documents to Mr, Raymond, "not for
publication, but merely to explain to you,
and that you may preserve them until their
proper time shall come." Mr. Raymond, who
publishes a fac-simile of this letter, thinks
that the time has come, and that "this public
statement of the fasts of this case i 8 deetaVl
by the author due to the memory of Mr. Lin
coln." The engravings in this book arc better
than usual. They consist of a full-length por
trait of Mr. Lincoln and a view of his Early
Home, as it now stands in Elizabethtown,
Hardin county, Kentucky, (these are on steel,)
and thirteen wood engravings, illustrative of
the text. (Received from B. Wilson.)
J. B. Lippincott & Co. have published a
small volume, by Dr. George J. Ziegler, one of

gen, or Laughing Gas," The author originally
treated this subject in the Medical and:Surgied
Reporter, and, having revised the text, brings
it out POW in a more permanent form. It con
tains his observations on the medical prOper
ties and applications of nitrous oxide, better
known as laughing gas. He adduces numerous
and strong reasons for his belief in the supe
rior saitative power of this agent, provided it
be used with proper caution. (Received /ram

comparatively little of the excitement
which followed the announcement of the
Ketchum defalcation exists now in Wall street
or elsewhere ; and the most important effect
perceptible of the disclosures that have been
made, is the greater caution used by all busi
ness men •in the management of thetrApecu
niary affairs. The assignments of Morris
Ketchum & CO., the senior member of
the firm, having included all his pro
perty in his transfer for the benefit of
his creditors—render the attachments that
have been issued of no account whatever.
Mr. Ketchum's estate will be divided among
his creditors equally, according to the amount
Of their claims. The only reservation that has
been made covered a small amount he held in
trust for his children. The property to be
divided is worth more than two million dol
lars—possibly two and a half—the sum as
nearly as can he ascertained of the losses of
the firm. The account will soon be complete.
A claim of about twenty thousand dollars for
bonds, said to have been among the securities
abstracted by young Ketchum, was made yes
terday. This claim is the only one made in
three days; and there is reason to hope that
no more are outstanding. The friends of Mr.
Morris Ketchum in this city and all parts of
the country are constantly conveying to him
the expression of their sympathy and con
tinued confidence.
Mr. Charles Graham, the broker of Edward
Ketchum, has nearly completed his account of
losses. They amount, exclusive of the forged
Paper he redeemed, to about sl,ols,ooo—which,
with the $285,000, tor which he holds certifi
cates, would make $1,330,000. In these figures
are included the amounts stated to be the
losses 6f the importers' and Traders' Bank, the
Fourth National Bank, Dabney, Morgan, &
and Ketchum & Co. ( who held $BO,OOO of the
forged paper), and a few other losses. The
$2,500,000 involved in the firm of Ketchum, Son,

constitute about the losses by the Ketchum
defaleation. The Whole Sum cannot exceed
$4,000,000. Mr. Graham's conduct is Meat ere ,

(From the Washington Chronicle of Saturday.]
Yesterday afternoon, at about one o'clock,
the jury summoned the day before re-assem
bled at the office of the Railroad Park, at Se
cond street east, and l street north, to make
a further investigation into the circumstances
attending the shooting of Miss Good on Wed.
nesday evening.
• The remains of Miss Good were taken to her
mother's residence, in Baltimore, on the 11.15
train yesterday forenoon. The mother and a
few relatives accompanied the corpse.
Mr. James Chatham, who was with Miss Good
at the time of the lamentable occurrence, was
recalled, and testified that several rings which
were on Miss Good's flngers,had been, by some
means, taken therefrom.
Private Henry Raymond testified' that he
was on duty at Camp Barry on the night of the
occurrence; was ordered to take his carbine
and escort two prisoners to the guard; one
prisoner was drunk, and refused to accompa.
ny Mtn, and ran around the house. Raymond
ordered him to halt several times, when the
lieutenant ordered him to fire at him. Not
observing the ladies he fired. The prisoner
was running along the fence, and it was so
dark he could not see a man two rods distant.
The Jury, after hearing the evidence, re
turned a verdict that the shooting was acci
dental that Raymond, who was on duty, fired
under the orders of his commanding officer at
a prisoner who was endeavoring to make his
escape.
The jury express their condemnation in the
severest terms of the practice of reckless
shooting upon the highways after dark, for it
too frequently happens that innocent persons
are injured, and often, as in this instance,lives
are taken.
A FENIAN has been arrested in Liverpool on

A CARD.—We would respectfully inform you
that we have at length completed our arrange
ments with Mons. J. X. Retrouvey, of raris, for
the manufacture and sale, throughout the
United States and Canadas, of his celebrated
Turkish Bandolenian Hair Tonic, Beautifier
and Restorer, the most exquisite and fragrant
beautifier and powerful restorer of the pre
sent century. The extract of manyflowere and

This preparation has been in use a number
of years amongst the Turkish belles, who have
been so justly , celebrated for the beauty of
their hair; and it is now creating quite ajurore
amongst the French and English belles, who
acknowledge it to be the most delightful dress
ing extant.
For the fixing of Puffs and Waterfalls, and
keeping the hair in any desired form of dress
ing, it has no equal. It renders the hair dark,
soft, and pliable, giving it a beautiful gloss.
By its application the hair will curl with ease,
and the ringlets will keep in curl much longer
than by the use of any other preparation. It
removes all dandruff and scurf, cleanses the
head, stimulates the scalp to a healthy action,
thereby restoring the natural color, and pro.
duces a healthy and luxuriant growth.
For Moustache and Whiskers it is unparalleled
for increasing their growth and making them
soft and pliable, and giving them a beautiful
lustre.
For the Nursery it is really the mother's
friend. In truth, the Nursery and the Toilet are
not complete without it. We would respect•
fully ask a trial, and will leave the judgment
to its own merits.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL•
As usual at the close of the week there was
little doing in the stock market on Saturday,
There beiag"but one Board, the Bales were sae-
Cessarily very limited, We have no change to
record in Government bonds, prices ;ruling at
about Friday's figures. The seven-thirties,
however, were firmer, selling in lots at 99 1 4.
Nothing was Said in State loans, and City sixes
continue very quiet. The share list is very
firm, and there are but few shares changing
hands. Reading sold in a small way at about
51%, at which it closed, which is an advance of
34; Pennsylvania Railroad was 34 higher, and
there were sales at 57%; Cainden and Amboy
was steady at 125 ; and Catawissa common, at
12 1 4; 29 was bid for Little Schuylkill; 56 for
Norristown; 55 for Minehill ; 23 for North
Pennsylvania ; 6434 for Lehigh Valley ; 24%
for Catawissa preferred, and 45 for North
ern Central. Bank, Passenger Railroad, and
oil stocks continue very dull. Canal shares
were drooping, Wyoming Canal opening at
52, and afterwards selling at IA lower; 23 was
bid for Schuylkill Navigation common; 30%
for preferred do; 58 for Lehigh Navigation ;
8% for Susquehanna Canal, and 29for Delaware
Division. The market generally closed weak.
The firmness in the 7-30 per cents is attributa
ble to the fact of the large demand at the
counters of the houses prominent in the
purchase and sale Of Government funds. It
may be that the payment of the 15th August
dividend on the first series of 7.3016 cents has
led to the reinvestment of the money in the
same security, while the general distrust in
the street, which extends for the moment to
the management Of surplus balances left with
banks and bankers, has excited afresh interest
in the more solid security and higher interest
of the 7-30 IR cent; currency and 5@6 $9 cent.
gold-bearing stocks of the United States.
But few additional developments in the
Ketcham affair have appeared, Nearly the
whole of the forged gold checks are now ac
counted for. It is stated that Ketchum, Son, &
Co. had a temporary loan with one of the
banks, in which their accounts were kept,
which the bank discovered, late on Monday
ovenhig, was on forged gold checks for about
*300,000. The loan was called in early on Toes-
day, and in prospect of its non-payment, the
cash balance of the house in the same bank,
quite equal it is said, in amount, was applied
to the loan, and the currency checks drawn on
the bank the day before Were refused pay
ment. The escape was a narrow one, if as re
lated ; while the want of care in scanning the
collateral when it was placed with the bank
was quite as prominent as in the less fortu
nate instaneve of the Importers' and Fourth
National of New York.
Mr. Morris Ketchum has made a separate as
signment of Ins real estate and certain of his
personalty, valued, altogether, at half a mil
lion of dollars, to Messrs. Moses Taylor, Pre
sident Of the City Bank, Mr. Calhoun, of the

The 'National Currency act, approved June
8,1864, limits the total issue of the banks cre
ated under the taw to three hundred millions
Of dollars, and provides that any number of
persons, not less than live, who complied'with
its provisions, without reference to locality,
were entitled to an authorization certificate
equivalent to a charter, from the Comptroller
of the Currency. Congress, at its last session,
passed another act, approved March 3, 1865,
apportioning to the different States and Terri
tories one hundred and fifty millions accord
ing to the representative population, and one
hundred and fifty millions according to the
existing banking capital, resoureen, and bust.
ness of the several States. The New England
States, early after the passage of the law,
availed themselves of its provisions, and se
cured the lionls share, as for example Massa
chusetts, with about One-third the population
of Pennsylvania, secured fifty-one of the three
hundred millions, which we are told . by the
Comptroller that Pennsylvania is entitled to
twenty-six millions five hundred and twenty.
seven thousand five hundred dollars on both
Population and business. To Massachusetts,
twenty millions in round numbers is appor
tioned- On the same basis, Pennsylvania is
entitled to about fifty-six millions, whilst we
have not half that amount assigned as her por
tion, The truth is,the apportionment has been
made on what was left after the RaSalige of the
act of 1804, as it could not have been made be
fore. But the statement of the Comptroller,
without an explanation, gives an incorrect
view of the matter. What Pennsylvania has
to complain of Is, that when her citizens com
plied strictly with the provisions of the law of
1864, previous to the apportionment act of 1865,
that they were told that this State had already
exceeded her share by some thirteen millions,
and was therefore refused any further favors.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
have established a line of ocean steamers to
run between Baltimore and Liverpool, and
have already purchased four propellers for
the enterprise. The Pennsylvania Central
Railroad Company have in contemplation the
establishment of a line between Philadelphia
and Liverpool, or London, and are to be as.
stated In the undertaking by the Corporation
of Philadelphia. The New York roads have
no occasion to make arrangements of this
kind.
The Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad is
pushing its line up to the Whitewater Valley
toward Arooksville, It is also surveying a
line along the Ohio River to Louisville. Its de
pot arrangements in Cincinnati are rapidly ap•
proaching completion, and in a few months
they will be the city entrance to some six
Eastern and Western roads.
The Internal Revenue Department nes ren
dered the following decision with regard to
insurance agents and brokers:
" An insurance agent is a person who acts
under authority from his company or com
panies, receiving as salary or compensation
some stipulated sum; he is subject to their
control, and his acts within the scope of his
authority are binding upon them.
"An.insurance broker does business upon
his own individual authority; he has no
power to bind either party to a policy of in
surance. He simply offers risks to companies
for their consideration, upon which, if ac
cepted, it is customary for him to receive cer
tain brokerage. This he may receive from
either of theEarties,frOat the insurers or
from the insure •it is immaterial from which
party he receives his compensation, to render
him liable to a license tax."
The argument in a United States Circuit
Court for an iniunctioß to restrain the Col
lector of Internal Revenue from collecting the
tax on brokers' sales, made on their Own ac•
count, will be heard on the Sall inst.
The CommiSsioner of Internal Revenue has
also decided that " all persons travelling about
the country as the agents of manufacturers or
dealers, seeking orders for goods in original
and unbroken ?packages, are regarded as 00111-
menial brokers within the meaning of the
law, and as such must procure license. Those
acting as the agent of one person or firm ex
clusively are also liable as above. Licenses to
this class should be made out so as to show the
place of bUsiness of the licensee, if he have

The New York Post, of Saturday, says
Wall street is resuming its ordinary appear
ance, and the extremely limited effects of the
heavy - blow from the recent failures is the
topic of universal congratulation. The whole
affair, however ? is too recent ? and its magni
tude too vast, for us to suppose' that ants
effects are developed, and all its evil influence
exhausted.
Gold is rather stronger. The opening and
lowest price was 145%, and the highest 144%.
At the close 144 was bid.
The loan market is less sensitive. The con
fidence of capitalists is extending itself over a
broader area of transactions, and among fl
Wider circle of borrowers. Seven is the Lau
rent rate, and the recent frauds cause securi
ties to be very narrowly scanned. Coalmen.
ei al paper of the first class is scarce, and passes
at 7, Less choice names are sold at S@ LO.
The stock. market is firm, without much
activity. Governments arc in more request
at improving rates. Seven-thirties first are
quoted at :1130,4@90%, and second at 010,4@)09%.
Ten-forties are *tiered at 117, five-twenties at
106 1 4 and new at 101%.
Railroad
shares are feverish, and quotations
'have an upward tendency, Erie being the
`llkEefore the first session, New York Central
was quoted at 9% Arie at 82%, Hudson River
at 108%,'Iteading at . 102, Michigan Southern at
62y Cleveland and Pittsburg at 66, Rock Island

After the board the market was steady. Erie
closed at 82%; New York Central at 90%; Hud
