Mr. Editob—lt is gratifying to every
1 Pittsburgher whpn away from home to
1 learn the high reputation which is re
> corded us for honesty, industry, en
terprise and morality; this 1 say is ac
’ corded to us away from home, but how
is it at home? As a community, pos
sibly we deserve as much as can be
: reasonably said in our favor, Still we
have our failings. Selfishness I think
might be added as one of our other lead
ing characteristics, and I will proceed
to illustrate why I think so in a very
plain manner. The banking interest
here has always heen a large one, bat
more particularly so since the war.
commenced—lt was and Is an interest or
business which requires great skill and
energy from lts executive officers, for
ds successful management, whereby to
conduct it on a sound financial basis
and protect the stockholders from all
kinds of losses, such as bad Investments,
tampering by outsiders with clerks, &c.
Wei) the readers of the daily papers have
seen that this has been accomplished
to a greater extent, thus Ur, by tpe
President of the Fourth Hal >nal Bank,
James O’Connor Esq., than by the
President of any, - other institution of
the same character in modern times. A
semi-annual dividend of thlrteen dol
lars: per share, with a reserve
maining! A resulAßfi.tMlPkißd 6T
course, reqqjfedvffifflT of no. ordinary
kind—but for this grand achievement
What . recompense or response even,
does, he receive from, the. business com
munity—more particularly from the
bankers? I am sorty to say nothing,that
lean hear, but jnirendoe*and sneers
—if . yon- say to any of those
gents ""how do yon likathe Fourth Na
tional Bank?' ’ they tftrh pale and. affect
smartness by bringing up some Old sore
about a bank on Fourth street and what
an eminent lawyer said, Ac. Now this
is what l consider qelfish, and, particu
larly so when the country is in ’danger,
bye gones should be bye gones -if they
cannot declare so large dividehds,. or
get an interview—consultation, if you'
please, with the Secretary of the Treas
ury, they should not torn up their noßes
at their more successful brother. One
thing is certain, Mr. O’Connor has the
proud consciousness 0/ having faithful
ly performed his duty, both to hiß gov
ernment, whose financial, agent he!te at
this point; and to the stockholders; we
all know . that even the (government
loans,- which many would have been
glad -to take, bad they only known
about them, were negotiated here on
thsrpld fogy principle; hut Just look at
the change now; I'll bet .not e?6n
Hobengack or the : Sands of LHe Mjm
pould manage the business with-more
■ adroitness—and that is. Just the , thing
- we want, energy—energy and system-r-
Aside from all . thia let me ask thoSe
selfish and contracted flhahci&i if aoy

that the latter was- he gave
it with energy and

least acted, during the Fremont
campaign and later, hqW he re-: j
fused to dose his office in honor, of the- *
Fremont procession and the spicy card •
he published on the occasion expressive,
of his (Aeir political faith. Tirtrhe' the - ]

$BO ' Jfh to Peace.
%The fitßhWthiug for our Government
tb%>, cl®hpon the het-ls of our suc
c -sses, make a generous offer of
peace anatamnesty. Whether the am
nesty should include all the rebel leafl
et s, asrecOmmended by General Butler
iu iiis speecyHii this city, is a point on
which opinions may reasonably differ;
but that a liberal amnesty should be
offered, aud that the present is a fitting
time to offer it, is a proposition too. evi
dent for controversy. By the word, lib
eral, we mean that the amnesty should:
include all except the original concocters
and the official chief of the rebellion;
and that its terms’ should be simply an
unreserved submission to the Constitu
tion of the United States.
Very likely, such an offer would be
rejected, with great affectation of dis
dain, by the rebel Government; but that
circumstance shouid not weigh a'feather
against a tender of complete amnesty,
on the sole condition of immediate sub
miasson to the unamended Constitution.
The .put pose of the offer should be to
detach the southern people from the
rebel Government/ They have still
much to lose; the rebel chiefs, nothing.
The tendency of the thick succession of
disasters the South have recently' suffer
ed is to cause dissatisfaction and
bring the confederate Government
into odium, .is deceivers of the
people and. betrayers of their
interests. We onght to take ad
vantage of this feeling while it is fresh..
,We ought to make the most of. their"
gloom and dlscott&gement before the
i-i preaaion begifis to wear off. and "the
.people accommodate thrtnselves:to their
new Situation I .' This is 'the propitious
moment for directing their feelings injo
a new channel. In'a little 'whire,' they
will brace themselves against their loss-*
es, as they did against the loss of New
Orleans: as they'did against the , loss of
the Mississippi; both:„’x»f which were

not correspond to our expectations.

may be that our rulers *have J erred "in‘

a CKriQusillustration from real life in

“At the Warwickshire sessions, on
the 19th of October, George Haynes,
twenty-five was charged with haring.it
Stratford-on-Avon, on the 12th of Au
gust last stolen two pounds weight of
beef. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and
asked to make a statement. The chair
man having remarked that he hgd’been
previously sentenced to penal'servitude
at Gloucester aßsizes for housebreaking,
the prisoner said, that it was really true.
Be committed the offence, when he was
only thirteen years of age, and was sent
to Gibraltar, to the penal settlement
there. After baying been imprisoned
for three years and a half, his conduct
has been so satisfactory that he had
been released upon a ticketof-leave.
He forthwith returned to England, and.
did all he could to obtain an honest live
lihood. After working for four years in
Warwick, daring a part of that time he
had attended regularly at All Saints’
Church, Emscote, and assisted in the
choir, he went to reside at Stratford, got
work, and attended' the Parish church
at Charlecote, singing In the choir. All
things went on weli with him and with
his family for a long time. One day,
one of the Stratford police, named Wes
ton, called upon him, and asked if he
had ever been transported. He declin
ed at first to answer,the question; but
ultimately admitted that such was the
case. . Prom that time bis prospects
were blighted. He was dismissed from
