THE IRISH QUESTION.
The habeas corpus act is suspended in
Ireland, and that island is actually under
martial law, and virtually in a state of siege.
The channel fleet, which so lately had
been exchanging courtesies with the
French at Cherbourg and Portsmouth was
rapidly hurried away to cruise round the
southern part of Ireland ; numerous ar
rests had been made on suspicion; the
office of a popular newspaper had been
broken into by the police ; the persons
found therein had been taken into custody;
the Privy Council had been convened, as
in cases of great alarm and threatened out
break, and though it had been resolved not
to assemble the new Parliament before the
Usual time (the end of January or the first
week in February), strong, measures would
be resorted to—measures beyond and pro
bably against the law, and a bill of indem
nity will be introduced early next session
whereby whatever may be clone now will
be accepted as correct. -
We could not help being reminded, as we
read the last news from Ireland, of the ve
hemence and force, of the vast vituperation
and the virtuous indignation which assailed
President LINCOLN, in 1861, because,
underthe strong pressure of Circumstance
(which BYnoN spoke of as "that un
spiritual God"), he found it necessary, for
the good of the commonwealth, to suspend
the habeas corpus act. He did, so after
treason had plunged the South into the
worse kind of rebellion, and that he did
right very few will now deny ; most cer
tainly history will acquit him.. We de
rived the habeas corpus act from England.
It was framed by Lord Chancellor SHAFTES
BURY, one of the few honest statesmen in
thevicious reign of CHARLES THE SECOND,
and became the law in 1679. Since then
it has been sometimes suspended in: Eng
land, but only in times of actual or impend
ing war—eleven times in one hundred and
eighty-six years. In Ireland, however, the
suspension has been almost chronic. It was
formally done there in 1795, in 1798, in
1803, and in 1848 ; but Ireland has been sub
ject to an Insurrection Act or a Coercion
Bill during one out of every three years
since the parchment Union of 1800, and an
invariable clause in these statutes permits
persons to be, taken and held in custody
without any other cause assigned than
" the tyrant plea—Necessity." When the
habeas corpus act is suspended in England,
the public mind becomes greatly excited;
but it is a matter of course on the other Side
of St. George's Channel. The fact is, the
Irish are used to it, as eels are used to being
skinned.
It is affirmed and believed that the
Fenian principles are making and have
made great progress in Ireland. The
avowed aim of Fenianism is simply this—
wholly to separate Ireland from British
rule, and give her separate and distinctive
nationalitz—probably as a republic. This
was the liream of those who in 1798, in
1803 and again in 1848, broke out into
revolt in Ireland. In the heart of every
movement of this kind is a very strong
antipathy to England—to "the Saxon,"
as Englishmen are usually called by the
Irish, who forget that they were subdued,
when STuorcenow and his followers in
vaded the island, not by the Saxons, who
were themselves under the yoke, but by
the Normans ; and to this day one-half
of the whole area of Ireland is the pro
perty of the descendants of these Norman
conquerors.
Two questions arise when this Irish
question is considered. First, what are the
prospects of Fenianism, (which simply
means revolt,) and next, should Ireland
be separated from British rule, could she
maintain herself as a nation.
Our personal, political and social know
ledge of Ireland induces us to believe that,
placed as she is under the hand, as it were,
.of England, she never can separate from
that cruel step-mother without the employ
ment of a larger military and naval force
and the expenditure of a much larger sum
than she is very likely to command—while
England is free from a foreign war. Once
that her hands were occupied elsewhere, it
- would not be difficult for. Ireland to slip out
of the bonds in which England holds her
in thrall. Even then, the Irish must have
material assistance from outside ; she would
look to this country for that helping hand.
England holds on to Ireland in the same
manner as Russia holds on to Poland.
There would be a certain loss of prestige—
an humbling before the nations of the earth
if either dependency were to break loose
from its master. Poland is valuable to
Russia from its geographical position rather
than from any other cause. England could
far better spare Ireland, and there is no just
..oeason why Ireland, an independent nation,
should not have as friendly relations with
England as with any other European power.
Were the truth known, the British Cabinet
(which, by the way, does not include even
one Irishman) would be glad enough, if it
were practicable, to separate Ireland from
Great Britain. One-half of the parliamentary
speech and action, in each session, is upon
Irish questions, and the expense of main
taining as great a military force in Ireland
as if it were a newly-conquered province is
a heavy drain upon the public treasury, for
Ireland does not contribute in taxes anything
like -what her government costs. England,
but for pride, would feel it a wise policy to
let Canada and Ireland quietly detach them
selves from her sovereignty. It may be,
for events seem tending that way, that
Canada may soon be voluntarily abandoned
by England, and allowed to assume a cer
tain independence ; but England's pride
will never allow Ireland—that brilliant
emerald which has flashed its beauty in her
diadem for nearly seven hundred years—to
be wrenched away. .
Whenever or however any effort is
made to obtain Ireland's independence,
- England will use her strongest power to
defeat it. Her fleets can pass from Holy
head to Dublin in four hours ; the passage
from Milford Haven to Waterford occupies
seven hours; from Liverpool to Dublin
- less than ten; from Bristol to Cork the time
is about sixteen, and from Portpatrick (in
Scotland) to Belfast not more than three
hours. In leas than twenty-four hours after
a rebellion in Ireland had been telegraphed
to the Horse Guards and the Admi
ralty in London, several fleets, a great
many transports, 20,000 regular soldiers,
and 100,000 of the well-drilled volunteers,
would be on their way from various parts of
England, Wales and Scotland to the princi
pal ports of Ireland. This is a fact which
there is no setting over. In the event of
England's being engaged in a foreign con
test, and she will never go into that on a
small scale, on light grounds, or without
putting forth her best energies, and her ut
most strength, those who want to battle'
for Ireland's independence would have a
fair chance, if they had the necessary physi
cal force—but not until then.
The second point to which we referred, is
as to Ireland's power of maintaining herself
as a nation. We have no doubt that she
could.. We am equally certain
that tTre
land, as a nation, would be vastly superior
to Ireland as aprovince. In the latter capa
city Ireland is'" going to the bad" at a
very rapid rate. Her population, at vari
ous stated intervals, is a good test of this.
In the year 1841 there were 8,175,124
men, - women and Children in Ireland
in 1851 this population had diminish
ed 552,385 ; in 1861, it ran down as
low as 5,704,543, and now is little more
than 5,000,000. Thus Ireland is rapidly
becoming depopulate& Were she a nation,
her instincts as well as her predilictions
and her ties of ldn would intimately con
nect her with this country. We can
scarcely imagine that, being an European
country, she would make such an Irish bull
as to offer herselffor fraternity and.tiember
ship to our great American empire; but,
once liberated, our enterprise, skill, and
capital would largely recuperate - what has
for centuries been the worst-governed coati:"
try in Christendom. •
Those who doubt, whether Ireland ever
could be self-governing, with success and
stability, are ignorant. Ireland is a coun
try which, from the year 1172 to 1865
a period of near seven centuries—actu
ally was a nation for only seventeen, years.
Ireland never had a fair chance, never
had a fair start, except in the year 1782,
while the American war was in progress,
when the right of Ireland's parliament to
be independent was literally forced from
the oligarchy of England. After having
profitted by this quasi-independence for a
dozen years, PITT and his emissaries bribed
the Irish parliament to vote away their own
existence, and to merge it in a legislative
body meeting in London. Then and thus
Ireland's brief dream of independence van
ished—from that moment until now Ire
land has been of far less account, in the
eyes of the British people and the British
Government, than L'ancashire or York
shire.
It would be for the mutual benefit of
England and Ireland, we are persuaded, if
the tie which connects them were severed.
It has been affirmed that Ireland, as a na
tion, Would exhibit herself as a flagrant
failure, and that she is too near England
ever to live on amicable terms with her.
In reply, we say look to Holland and Bel
g - iurn. Thirty years ago they formed the
kingdom of the Netherland& Their ruler,
a Protestant, naturally preferred his Dutch
subjects, who hold his own faith. The
Belgians, a Catholic race, naturally ob
jected, and declared their. independence.
They obtained it. The Kingdom of Bel
gium was formed and recognized, Prince
LEOPOLD (Queen VICTORIA'S uncle) being
elected King, and Belgium, as well as Hol
land is infinitely more thriving now than if
they had continued together. An ideal line is
all that separates the twokingdoms, and this
boundary is as much respected as if a line
of mountains stood between them. Now,
between England and Ireland flows the
Irish Sea—sufficient for quick communica
tion, but the most distinctive natural boun
dary in the world.
In this rapid glance at the Irish question,
which seems to be assuming no small
power abroad, we have not mentioned the
fact that, as far as is known, the ROIRRII
Catholic clergy there are strongly opposed
to the principles and action of the Fenians.
That, of itself, would seem to settle the
question of any insurrectionary movement
succeeding in Ireland; if undertaken at a
period when England is at peace with the
world, and has full liberty to concentrate
her naval and military force upon Ireland,
if her supremacy there should be assailed.
HOW THE MONEY GOES-NO. M.
The well-known Major HANGER, a boon
companion of GEORGE the Fourth when
Prince of Wales, passed a considerable part
of his London life - within the precincts of
the King's Bench prison. We say " within
the precincts," because there was one rule
for the poor and another for the rich debtor
—a man who was taken up by sheriff's officer
or bailiff', on ajudgment, or even on what was
called " suspicion of debt," had to go into
prison, if he was poor. If he had money
or friends, and by use of either, could satis
fy the marshal of the prison, he might avail
himself of "liberties" of the King's Bench
or the Fleet prison. The former lock-up
was situated in the borough of Southwark,
which lies on the Surrey side of the
river Thames, and extended nearly one
mile all round, taking the prison as the
centre. Those who enjoyed "the liberties'
of the Fleet prison, an institution within a
stone's throw of St. Paul's Cathedral,
were also free to live wherever they
pleased, within a charmed circle. It hap
penecl that a well-known hostelrie situate
on Ludgate Hill, within view of St. Paul's,
and known as Ludgate Hill Coffee-house,
was partly within the aforesaid liberties of
the Fleet. That is, the dividing line was
suppiiked to run right through the middle of
the saloon, on the ground floor, and the west
ern moiety was free to the Fleeters. There
they might breakfast, dine, and sup, just
as if a Ca Sa was a thing unknown to them.
but if they were found, even fora me
ment, on the other side of the room, and
thus outside of the aforesaid "liberties;"
whoever had gone security for their keep
ing bounds, might be pounced down upon
for full payment of the debt or debts
which had consigned them to the custody
of the marshal. He itad an espionage
established in that public room, which kept
him well informed as to the debtors who
had broken bounds, and took good care to
commit them, after that, into actual
imprisonment. Many debtors, no doubt,
quietly broke bounds, arid-flitted about now
and then in the _gay haunts which had wit
nessed and probably caused their ruin. Oc
casionally, one of the liberty-debtors, on
paying a certain fee, would be allowed to
quit his assigned limits for a day or.so—the
legal pretext being that it allowed him per
sonally to look up his friends, and try to
induce them to pay his debts. GEORGE
COLMAN, author of " John Bull," and "The
Iron Chest," plays which are sometimes
performed - yet, lived for years in the liber
ties of the King's Bench, though it was
said that he often slipped out to dine with
his royal namesake of Wales at Carlton
Palace; and THEODORE Hoox, another wit
and very fast " man about town," occa
sionally was a denizen of "the Bench."
CHARLES DICKENS wrote down the Fleet
Prison in his "Pickwick Papers ;" and the
King's Bench, as well as the Marshalsea,
has also disappeared, for imprisonment for
debt has nearly been abolished in England,
and Lord WESTBURY, the lately disgraced
ChancellOr, was the man who effected this
reform. There now is but one debtor's
prison in London, and the inmates of that,
for the most part, . are on their way to li
beration through the Bankruptcy court.
Major HANGER, who was an Irish gentle
man of a gay turn, with a strong thirst for
Burgundy, and a great genius for running
into debt, possessed no small shareof wit, a
large infusion of rough humor, and a de
cided predilection for practical jokes, was
continually in debt ; indeed, that was the
normal condition , of many men of note at
the time. At last when his fortune was :
quite broken and his royal patron tired of
him, Mr. PITT was solicited to give him :
a public office. PITT, who wished to oblige
the next heir to the throne, consented to.
see HANGER, and said there was a situation
vacant, with a good. salary, but not a sine
cure. "Give it to me," said the place-.
hunter, " and leave me alone to make it
one." Before the appointment was made
out, the death of two or three near rela
tives allowed HANGER to succeed to an
Irish peerage, as Lord COLERAINE, with a
considerable landed estate to stipport the
new dignity.
limit:lmes remark that he would soon
convert an office into a sinecure manifested;
a spirit which has - 1911 g exercised a baneful,
influence in "the old country." Lord::-;'
THE PRESS;-PHILADELPMA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 18615:
CAULAY has alluded to it in
. terms of strong
reprobation when.describing the patriots of
the Revolution of 1088. "At this time,"
he says, "MowrAouVig, wishes pointed to
the Church. At a later Period, when he
was a peer with twelve thousand a year,
when his villa on the Thames was regarded
as the most delightful of all suburban re
treats, when he was said to revel in Tokay
from the Imperial cellar, and in soups made
out of bird'vests brought from the .Indian
Ocean and costing three guineas a-pie‘ce,
his enemies were fond of reminding him
that there had been a time when he had
eked out by his wits an income of barely
fifty pounds, when he had been happy with
a trencher of mutton chops and a flagon of
ale from the college buttery, and when a
tithe pig was the rarest luxury for which
he dared to hope." Lord STANHOPE, in his
English history, speaking of the vast emolu
ments of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, esti
mates his yearly income from offices—ex
elusive of the revenue from Blenheim and
various parliamentary grants—at U 91,125,
and the pensions and offices held by his
wife at $47,500 per annum; but Lord DART
MOUTH, in a note on BI7IINBT, computes
their joint salaries at $450,000 a year. Sir
ROBERT WALPOLE, who rose from being a
poor cornet of horse to the premiership of
England, amassed an immense fortune,
and gave patent places to his sons to the
amount of $70,000 a year. Fox, the first
Lord HOLLAND, made at least $2,500,000 a
year out of the emoluments of office. Even
the Duke of WEr,r,rxoToN, who was grant
ed $20,000 a year, for three lives, on his first,
being raised to the. peerage, and subse
quently received $,750,000 to purchase a
lauded estate, and, from 1815 to his death,
in 1852 also received, in salaries for differ
ent offices (some of them sinecure, as the
Wardenship of the Cinque Ports), to the
amount of $90,000 a year. The late Earl
GREY, when Prime Minister, distributed
life-Offices among ids family and family con
nexions to the year& value of $BOO,OOO, and
Lord PLUNKETT, the Irish Chancellor, did
the same by leis family to the tune of $350, 000
year. The late Prince ALBERT, to Whom
British toadyism has raised and is raising
so many, ,statues, deigned to accept a yearly
allowance of *lmmo from the British tax
payers, and this income was doubled by
the emoluments of the numerous well-paid
offices which his royal wife conferred upon
him. No wonder that at his death he had
saved $5,000,000 out of all these payments.
Yet, in modern tima, no one presumes
to charge these great people with a mise
rable desire to receive and accumulate
money. Now and then, when they were
simply careless, like Priv, or culpably ex
travagant, like Fox, they showed little
delicacy in money matters. SriERMAN
lived, all his later years, upon borrowed
money. When PITT was nearly crushed
by debt (though' his salaries were $75,000
a year), he allowed 00,000 to be raised,
among his friends to relieve the pressme,
and when the gates• of office closed upon
Fox—it was then imagined for life—he acii
eepted an annuity of $O,OOO from the Whig
party. The fact is, there is much laxity of
principle and practice abroad, among public
men, as to money-matters.
WM. J. DUANE, a descendant of Dr.
FBANELIN, an old and prominent resident
of this city, died on Tuesday, aged eighty
five years. His father was a prominent
politician a half a century ago or less, and
his son was associated -with him in the
management of the Aurora, the Demo
cratic organ at that day. Here Mr. DUANE
became fully acquainted with the politics of
the day, and, studying law, began to labor
for distinction. He began his career in
politics, by serving several terms in the
State Legislature, and when Gem JACKSON
was elected President, became a warm and
active supporter of the governmental poli
cy. He was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury, but differing with JACKSON'S
policy in relation to the removal of deposits
from the U. S. Bank, was superseded by
the late Chief Justice TANEY. This was
the last appearance of Mr. DUANE in po
litical life. He then applied himself to the
practice of his profession, in which he suc
ceeded remarkably well. He was counsel
to GIRARD, and prepared the will by which
Philadelphia received the princely gift
which gave us Girard College and other
structures, in trust for the city's orphans.
During the late war Mr. DUANE was unre
servedly Union. His memory was particu
larly active, and it is said that none knew
more of the history of Philadelphia than
he, for his rise was contemporary with
that of the city to prosperity and greatness.
WE ARE TOLD that the members of the.
Alabama Convention debated an entire
day before they could declare the act of
secession null and void ! What could all
this debating have been about ? Every act
of secession was made null and void by the
surrender of LEE and JOHNSTON. The logic
of events should have taught instant
action.
THE daily Wheeling Intelligencer, the
leading and ablest Union paper in West
Virginia, published by CmarnELL & DEB.-
MOTT, appears in a greatly improved form.
As the intelligence? , was the file-leader, in
fact the guiding star of a section that has
been constantly beset and beleaguered by
the rebels, we hail these evidences of its
prosperity as a proof that the people ap
preciate its courage and its consistency.
The High Price of Rutter.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin; In answer to your article on the high
price of butter, we say to you drive from
the streets your great army of shinners, who
are slaughtering all our dairy cows, and
you will soon have butter at the old prices.
I wrote a communication that was pub
lished in The Press about a year ago, that
the Shinners were killing all our dairy COWS ;
that, unless remedied by City Councils, but
ter would be a dollar a pound. You now
realize it by your own folly. The Chester
county Agricultural Society hold their an
nual fair this week. lam in hopes they will
publish a report showing the causes of the
high prices of meat and butter. There is need
of concert of action between the citizen and
farmer; if the cows cannot be had, you cannot
get a good supply of butter. FARMER,

to tell the public (in strict confidence, of
course,) at what hour the performances cont.

scores of cases in which persons intending to
go to some place of public amusement have
not gone, because the newspaper advertise

were opened and the curtain raised.

QUINCY, Sept. 28,1865.
Among the improvements of Chicago which
may be worthy of imitation in the East, are
the wooden pavements of some of their lead
ing thoroughfares. They are, I believe, pecu
liar to that city, and have thus far proved a
complete success in furnishing a solid road,
easily drained, and yet entirely free from the
extreme smoothness and hardness of stone
pavements which at once ruin the hoofs of our
poor city horses, cause frequent falls, make it
difficult to start heayyloads, and create a loud
uproar by the noise of clattering feet and
rumbling wagons, drays, and cars. In this new
system a level, solid surface is prepared, with
sand and gravel upon which a stout plank
floor, covering the entire street, is laid. On
this a thick coating of a pitchy cement is
placed, and this in turn is covered with a se
ries of wooden blocks, presenting to the street
the same sort of a surface as constitutes the
outer wall of a brick house. The wooden
blocks are not quite twice the usual size of
bricks. A space of about an inch is left be
tween them, which is tilled with a liquid ce
ment that soon hardens. Practically, as you
will see, this street pavement,is built very
much like the wall of a house, and the people of
Chicago speak so well of it that I am inclined
to think that they have solved, by its introdue,
tion, one of the most difficult problems of
municipal government. There is a feature of
the practical management of Western rail
ways, too, which greatly promotes the comfort
of travellers, and which I would be glad to see
Eastern roads adopt. When the conductor
enters the car and examines your ticket, he
hands you a check,which is placed in the band
of your hat, and thenceforth you are exempt
from all subsequent demands to "show your
-ticket , ' We left Chicago at midnight on a
sleeping-car of the Chicago, Burlington and.
Quincy Road. This is one of the most important
roads of the West, and owns about 400 miles of
railways, consisting of the main road, leading
to Quincy, a distance of 265 miles ; a branch
running east from Galesburg to Peoria 53
miles ; one running west from Galesburg to
Burlington, lowa, 45 miles, and two junction
roads, which are together 43 miles in length.
It is the business artery of one of the most fer
tile and productive portions of the great
West. Its gross earnings for the month of
August amounted to *lOO,OOO, I was informed
that there was grain enough produced on its
routes to keep its fifteen hundred grain cars
busily employed in transportation during the
entire year.
It is not unusual for this road to deliver two
hundred car-loads of %live-stock at Chicago in
a single day. It comes from different portions
of Illinois, lowa, and Missouri. Beef and pork
still command high prices in the West. Hogs
are even now sold for ten cents a pound in
lowa, but the prolific corn crop of the present
year must speedily reduce these extravagant
rates. The business of transporting live-stock.
to the East, too, will soon be greatly facilitated
by a Union stock-depot, that is now being es-,
tablished at Chicago. It will extend over an
area of about one hundred and fifty acres ; be
supplied with numerous sheds, stables, rail
way-tracks, &cr., and be used in common by all
the roads from the East and West, as a point
!or transferring stock.
By the time we left our berths—about seven
o'clock this morning—we had travelled about
one hundred and twenty-five miles, and were
in the vicinity of Kewanee and Nepouset,
names which, like titqLsands of others equally
musical, will serve to perpetuate the memory
of the aboriginal tribes who had once roamed
over the fertile plains that stretched out here
to a boundless extent on every hand, and who
must have deemed this region an earthly
paradise. We had at last struck on the trail
of the prairies, of which we bad heard so
muck in song and story; but their native wild
ness and poetic beauty has been almost as
thoroughly eradicated from the land as the
wild game that once flourished upon their
luxurious grasses. The traditional prairie,
with its beautiful flowers and high-waving
herbage, is almost a thing of the past, here
abouts ; ands I had to watch anxiously for
miles before I saw on the immediate line of
the road a single unwooded field whose
soil had been unbroken. The view presented
to us was most beautiful, yet savage and wild;
but a succession of waving cornfields, magnift:
cent pastures, abounding in red and white
clover, and great wheat lands, where the
young crop was just pushing its tender head
above the surface. The cornfields are some
times six hundred acres in extent—it being a
common practice for several farmers to unite
a portion of their farms in one great corn
field, to save expense in fencing. We passed
to-day hundreds of these extensive corn
fields, which, in the aggregate, must have
yielded corn enough to feed the popula
tion of a large State. Interspersed with
the Indian corn, large patches of broom-.
corn, and several varieties of sorghum were
not unfrequent. One of the latter is called
emphir, and one Otaheitan, its seed having
been obtained from Otaheita, by the patent
office, and distributed by it through the coun
try. The specimens I saw were so flourishing
that it is evidently well adapted to the soil
and climate of Illinois. The farmers here re
joice in their ability to secure a home supply
of molasses, and in lowa a process is used for
converting their sorghum product into excel
lent sugar. Planting and tilling corn in
the West is a trifling task, as by their im
proved machinery it is planted very rapidly
and a patent cultivator dresses four rows
multaneously, under the direction of a man
perched np on a platform, and driving two
horses, as they are driven in Is mowing ma
chine. Broom-corn attracts considerable at
tention here, too. It sells for *250 'per ton on
the railway, and, as three or four acres will
generally yield a ton, it affords a profit of near
ly (WO per acre. The land is slightly undulating
along the line of this road ; the monotony
of a dead level is frequently varied bycurving
elevations, and the horizon is often skirted by
fine groves of timber. There is nothing, how
ever, approaching to the character of a moun
tain in sight anywhere; and very few ground
swells that deserve the dignity Of Wing styled
- a hill. The landscape abounds with small
farm-honses, and hay-stacks f but no barns are
visible. There are some small stables and
sheds, but a good old Lancaster-county barn
would tower far above any of the build
ings in view. Every house, even if hut
one-story-and-a-half high, is provided with
a llghtning-rod—a protection which we
Suppose has been rendered neeeSsary by
the terrific storms that sometimes sweep over
these immense plains. All the important rail
way stations along the route are furnished
with grain elevators, from which grain may
be shipped in bulk to Chicago, and also with
corn-shellers, where corn is taken from the
cob. Water is found by digging a short dis
tance in the earth—say fifteen or eighteen
feet—at almost any point. At several places
we saw semi-bituminous coal being hauled
up from the mines beneath by a windlass.
It is distributed along the line of the
road, and forms a large proportion of the
fuel of the inhabitants. The land is nearly
as well fenced as the fields of the East, al
though there are of course many large fields,
generally with upright posts, (some of which.
are brought from a great distance,) that have
pine boards or rails nailed upon them. Few
norm fences are to be seen, and fewer stilt of
the ordinary Eastern post and rail fences. As
- we are approaching Quincy, where I hope to
mail this letter,. I must close without even
attempting to give you an idea of the deep
impression the immense area of fertility we
have gazed upon has made. Verily, Illinois is
justly called " The Garden State.t , J. L. R.

CITY ITEMS.
0 - HEAT EMPORIUM Or FASHION FOR THE LA
DIES.—If it were fair to judge , a house from a
specimen brick, We Should decide that Phila
delphia was at this moment doing the largest
trade in Silks and Dry Goods ever experienced
in her history—the basis of our judgment
being what we gaW in n Casual visit, yesterday,
to the distinguished old mercantile house
of Messrs. Edwin Hall & Co., No. 26 South
Second street. Mr. Hall's taste in the selee
Lion of silk goods, and all ether fashionable
fabrics for ladies' wear, has long been Prot
verbial ; and the compensating fruits of hie
talents in this particular, and years of great
business energy, are now seen in his very
large. and profitable' trade. His spacious
salesroonis in every story we found lite 7
rally lined with customers ;and the colossal
stock of rich and magnificent goods, mainlyof
his own importation, there displayed with
POllleness and skill by his ostensive force of
salesmen and saleswomen, rendet•ed the entire
scene as striking and satisfactory as" the most
enthusiastic merchant could desire. Amid
such a vast array of novelties it seems almost
useless to particularize, though, were we to
attempt it, his brilliant line of Irish Poplins—
the finest assortment ever imported into thti
market—would claim paramount attention.
Next to these, Probably his superb display of
Lyons Velvets; Antique Poult de Soles; vari
ous and beautiful shades of Silks for evening
dresses; elegant Shawls in great variety;
French and .English bierinoes ; magnificeist
quality Black Silks, and corded Silks of rich
colors, will command the admiration of oil
lady readers; to all Clt whom , we would.' say—;

HEALTH, COMFORT AND ECONOMY are all at

in any Sewing Machinemade onthis continent
that the " Wheeler & Wileon" instrument
does not contain in the highest perfection.
For all family purposes, therefore, it is incom
