BUSINESS PROSPECTS
The opinion seems to prevail that we shall
have four or five years of good business in the
United States The " lame ducks" were pret
ty well killed off by the commercial revulsions;
of the past
,year, and sound, cautious and
prudent business men are driving a safe and:
healthy trade which is gradually increasing.
A better feeling is leginning to prevail, and
although the fall trade may not prove a ,very
large one, still it wig 1 realize the expectations ,
of moderate and in' elligent business met.—
Corifulence is I?ei I g gradually restored, al
though sales will s 11 be made with more c..q.u
tion than in previo s years ; stocks are gener
ally low, and pure asers from the far west
will be compelled , o replenish; the crops are
abundant ; money i. easy and likely to remain
so; peace and gen• ral health prevail, and the
facilities for freigh transportation were nev
er better. All the-e are favorable signs for a
fair fall business, and cannot fail to exercise
a goodinfluence. he commencement of the
fall business is alr•ady noticeable to a degree
e r
in the • creased rid increasing amount of
freigh s carried ov -r our railroads. In our
own ty we do n..t look for a great business
this fa 1, but we il ticipate a safe and paying
one. Now - is the ,me for our manufacturers
and general deale.s to advertise their stocks,
for it is now that the purchasers throughout
the country are m: king up their minds where
and. what to pure : ase, and in forming their
determinations, tl e advertising columns of
the newspapers e •:ercise a large influence.

are all right on t.e Anti-Tax question, and
the people know it. The county convention
of the Democrati party is called for the 18th

Democrats as they are accustomed to do. It
is our good fortune to have our principles ap
proved-by the masses of the people, and if
those who have heretofore been misled by the
:Gazelle choose to vote for our ticket, it is the
strongest proof that the Democracy is in the
right.
Kentucky Election.
'The returns of the Kentucky election look
well, and there is scarcely a doubt that the
° only officer elected on the State ticket has
been choien by the D9mocrats by a very large
majority. The decline in the " Plug Ugly"
stock in Louisville is immense, their majority
having been reduced in that city from about
two thousand to three hundred ! Things look
squally for Humphrey Marshall's reelection
to Congress nest year.
Who Owns Chicago.:
An intelligent correspondent of the Clevea.
land Review, writing from Chicago, says " I
should say that every real estate man is mort
gaged for five times more than he can pay.
As a general item upon this point, I will state
upon the authority cf a friend, who saw the
records, that the assessed valuation of the
taxable property of Chicago, last spring, was
about $36,000,000, while the amount recorded
upon bond and mortgage, which it was pledg
ed to secure, was over one hundred and nine
'ei/Aso/ dollars ! Comment is unnecessary
to explain the total bankruptcy of this inflated
,town. Among the older inhabitants there are
a-few men of means: bat the city belongs to
Eastern capitalists, who holds it on bond and
mortgage security, and who could not in the
aggregate, realize thirty cents on the dollar,
if 'they sold outot town to-morrow."

VARIOUS THINGS.
—There appears to bo a hitoh in regard to
the public buildings to bo prepared in Phil del
adelphia for departments of the federal govern
ment. Tho Legislature of Pennsylvania granted
permission of a site for offices, and the question
is, can other buildings for the departments be
added thereto.
—The ehip Oliver Putnam, which wiled from
Boston, Mass. dEIST. Saturday, for Liverpool, took
out 125 passenhers, about :5 of whom were
paupers, collected from the State Almshouses,
and returned to the" Old Country," from whence
they came.
—A new work, by Dickens, is in preparation.
The subject has been a favorite ono with him for
twenty years, but he has only lately commenced
to work on his original idea. The work it to bo
an onslaught upon "respectability "—in other
words, upon the conveutionnlitic9 of society .
But t.ho cant of " " not near
so repulsive:as that of the impugners of convey
tional•em.
—The magnificent equestrian statue of Wash
ington, by Clark Mills, now nearly completed, it
is determined shall bo elevated on its pedestal
at Washington on the next anniversary of Wash
ingtoa's birthday, Februray 22, 1859. Its lo
cation is yet undecided. That proposal in front
of the White House has been abandoned, on
account of the lowness cf the site, and the im
practicability of an artificial mound of sufficient
dimensions. There appears to be no appropri•
ate natural elevation in the immediate vicinity,
and possibly the mound may be resered to, either
in the capitol grounds or on the r:servatien known
as the Mall.
—The opinion 'which very generally prevails
that the firing cf a cannon or peals cf thunder
will cause the bodies of drowned persons to
rise to the surface of the water is a fallacy.
Neither of these oan have the slightest possible
inflame in the matter.
—The New York State Convention will esstm.
ble at Syracuse on the 15th of September.
—T , e " Liberty " party of New York, have
nominated Gorritt Smith for Governor. He will
take fifty thousand votes from the Black Repub
lican party.
—The General Assembly of Presbyterians re
cently in session in Chicago, Illinois, decided, by
a vote of 1 1 0 to 52, " that divorces cannot be
granted, - unless adultery can be clearly shown ;
and that any other cause, is hiinself guilty of
adultery in a moral view of the case."
—The New York papers declare that little
boys go swimming in the Park fountain, almost
before it is dusk, and they charge that it is a
"barefaced neglect of duty in the P 4 lice," not
to put a stop to such a shameful exhibition. We
should say that the neglect was worse than bare-
—Game is said to be unusually abundant on
the Alleghenies this year, doer being daily seen
near the roads, bear signs in the thicket, and
for those who prefer it, a panther is now said to
be prowling about on Coldstream.
United States Agricultural Exhibition
This exhibition will take place at Rich•
mond, Va., flaring the last week in August,
beginning on the 25th. The premium list for
1853 is a very liberal one, Among the pre
miums to be awarded we may mention $lO3
for Durham bulls, not under three years old ;
$75 for Durham cows and heifers ; $lOO each
for Ayrshire, Hereford and Alderney bulls,
and $75 each for cows and heifers. In the
horse department, premiums of $lOO, $75,
$5O, S$ 0, down to $5, will also be awarded :
while for sheep the premiums will range from
$3O down to 1' 4 5. The grounds at Richmond
are very commodious and accessible. The
' Virginia Central Society has agreed to furnish
the grqunClF, anO gilurzsutt - , t -oy~ ant
of ten thousand dollaas in premiums in addi•
tion to the expenses of the United States So
ciety. Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Massachu
setts, has been invited to deliver the annual
address.
The $BO,OOO Tariff Again
Suits have been commenced by creditors of
the late firm of Lawrence, Stone
against John W. Wolcott, for the recovery of
the money placed in his hands by that firm,
on pretenee of influencing the action of Con
gress on the Tariff Bill of 1857. The suits
are founded upon the Report of the Commit
tee of the House of itepresentatives, which
was appointed to inquire into the expenditures
of money for the purpose of influencing the
passage of that Tariff.
The Fall Elections.
Between now and the eighth of November
next, the free States will elect 127 of the 236
members of the next United States House of
Representatives, leaving nine to be elected in
March and April next—three in New Hamp •
shire, four in Connecticut and two in Rhode
Island. Vermont will commence the election
of members of Congress September 7th, and
Maine will follow six days later in the same
month. The Middle and Western States will
elect their 118 in October and November.
Strika on a Railroad—the Engines Spiked
to the Truett
On Tnesday afternoon Just, the engineers
employed on the Terre Haute and Alton Rail
road, " struck " for their pay, the company
being, it is reported, five months in arrears.
They took possession of a freight train at
Terre Haute, and running it on a side track,
removed the eccentrics of the engine, and
spiked the wheels to the track. Every en
gine that came within their reach was served
in the same way. One engineer who refused
to join in.the strike, attempted to run the
gauntlet with his machine, but failing to get
away, was taken from the engine by force,
and the wheels spiked down. The running
of the road of course was stopped for the
time being, and we could not learn that it
had been resumed up to last night.
[ Vor the Morning Post.]
The Next Congressman.
Mr. Editor :—As the Lima is rapidly approaching
when the Democracy will meet in Convention for the
purpose of nominating candidates for Congress and
other officers, it becomes us to pay timely attention
to the subject, so that our most available men shall
be presented for the suffrages of the people.
Tho most important position to be filled at the
approaching election is that for Congress; and to
hope ftir the election of cur candidate wo must have
doe regard for the opinion of the masses upon the
Lecompton question. Under the present aspect of
politics, it would be a suicidal pi.ioy to place at our
mast head any other than an anti-Lecompton Demo
crat. I have no desire to dictate to the Democracy
who shall be selected for for this position, nor would
I presume to detract from the merits of the able
gentlemen already presented by their friends ; yet,
having the approval of a vast number of the most
reliable Democrats in the district, I have no hesita
tion in Suggesting the name of GEORGE F. Glittatonn,
Esq., as the most available man we could nominate.
Mr. Oil'more a few years since was nominated by
the party for the Legislature, without any solicita
tion on his part, and was °looted by a handsome
majorltq—being the cnly successful candidate on the
ticket. His services as editor of the Post during the
late Presidential campaign were invalaable--being
well veised In the politics of the country, and wielding
a ready!, and powerful pen. His position upon the
LecornPton, Tax and Bank questions is such as to
insure raim a complete victory over the Opposition
candidate; and I respectfully submit to year readers
whether the same qualification can be found in such
perfection in the person of any other gentlemen
named.
We 'desire success, and a word to the wise should
be sufficient
Let the word be spoken, and Mr. Gillmore will,
Unwedly, be our next representative in Congres.
A DEMOCRAT.

An Indignant Financi.r
Mr. Wells D. Wallbridge, of Buffalo, writes
to a New York paper, commeinting on the
late bank investigation report in Pennsylva•
nia, and declaring that the Bank of Crawford
County and the Tioga County Bank, which
ho assisted to organize, were in a sound con
dition when examined. He denounces the,
committee for their statements and inuen
does, and declares that the whole investiga
tion was got up by " the lobby" at Harris
burg, to extort black mail. He concludes as
follows:
" No overtures were made by the banks, and
so the committee, nearly three morithsafter their
appointment, and, after making a pleasure trip
to Chicago, stopped and made the examination,
and a report, wherein, in violation of all honor,
they have garbled the evidence taken, mistated
the information elicited, and substituted their
conclusions for facts.
" After the examination, in both cases allud
ed to, the members of the committee expressed
themselves as entirely satisfied with the condi
tion and management of the respective banks.—
Yet, subsequently one of the parties was heard
to say at a dinner table, that 'they must give the
banks h—l, or the people would never be satis
fied.'
Under the circumstances which transpired, I
should be at a loss to account for their course,
except that it was too good an opportunity for
• Buncombe,' and the committee made the most
of it, regardless of justice and the injury they
might do others. It was also essential that they
should, in some way, insure their pay from the
next Legislature, which was not provided for in
their appointment; and being politicians, they
must so popularize themselves as to secure their
own return to that body. This would necessan.
ily involve a sacrithe of principle, and they
made it.
"The public good would havo been fully setv,
ed by simply telling the t•uth, and then no harm
would have come to myself and others.
I have no desire to call in question tho mo,
tives of the action of this committee any further
than is necessary to defend myself from the 131:14
just imputations contained in their report,which
served as a basis of comment by the publio press,
greatly to the injury of my reputation where I
am not personally known."
TuE Democratic Conferees in the Elk Dis
trict, have nominaed Kennedy L. Blood, for
State Senite, over Mr. Abrams, who was a
member of the last Legislature.

The Crap■
The editor of the Cincinnati Price Current,
who gives much attention to the crops, says:
'•We have advices from all sections of the
western country, end which we deem reliable,
and upon those advices we have arrived at the
following conclusions : wheat in 'generally har
vested in this State, Indiana and Kentucky, the
the result is a fuzo Su tocullitka
it has been iojurcd by rust, and generally the
growth has been too rapid, producing a great
abundance of straw, and consequently a shorter
head than usual, so that the yield will not
be so good ; although, owing to the greater
breadth of land sown, the quantity will be nearly
up to that of last year, and the quality far su
perior, owing to the favorable weather there has
been for securing it, es compared to that of last
year, when a large quantity was injured serious
ly by the unusuilly hot weather which prevailed
during the month of July and the greater part
of August."
The Modern Kingdom of Greene
Bayard Taylor, the distinguished American
traveler, in a late letter from Greece to the
New York Tribune, describing the extravagance
of its government, says : " In the navy, there
is just about one officer to every two-and•h'.lf
men ; in the army, which numbers nine thousand
all told, there are no less than seventy generals!"
Ho further remarks that the royal palace at
Athens cost them two millions of dollars. For
this sum the Greeks have an immense, ugly pile
of Pentelic marble, as large as Buckingham, or
the Resvienz at Berlin. One-fourth of the mon
ey would have built a beautiful structure, pro
portioned to the size and means of the country.
The king has a salary of ono million of drach
mas ($166,666) per annum, which, to his credit,
he spends in and about Athens. The court alone
swallows up about one-twelfth of the entire rev
enues. Then there is a list of salaried and pen
sioned officials—civil, military, and naval—such
as no country in Europe, relatively, exhibits.—
Some features of the ancient race are still pre
served: they are vain, talkative, fond of argu
ment, and fond of display. Their appreciation
of tat, however, has utterly perished. Most of
them profess a leaning toward democratic prin
ciples, yet they are pleased as children at the
tawdry pomp which surrounds a throne. They
are passionately fond of gain, yet, with the most
elastic temperament in the world, dislike manual
labor.
Hymn of the Mnreel
The Marseillaiso was inspired by genius, pa
triotism, youth, beauty and Champagne. Rou
get do Lisle was an officer of the garrison at
Strasburg, and a native of Mount Jura. He had
a peasant friend named Dietrick, whose wife end
daughters were the only critics and admirers of
the soldier poet's song. One night he was at
supper with his friend's family, and they had
only coarse bread and slices of ham. Dietrick,
looking sorrowfully at De Lisle, said, " Plenty is
not our feast, but wo have the courage of a sol
dier's heart ; I have still one bottle left in the
cellar—bring it, my daughter, and let us drink to
liberty and our country !"
The young girl brought the'bottle; it was soon
exhausted, and De Lisle went staggering to bed;
he could not sleep for the oold, but his heart
was warm and full of the beating of genius and
patriotism. He took a small clavicord and tried
to compose a song ; sometimes the words were
composed first—sometimes the air. Directly ho
fell asleep over the instrument, and waking at
deylight,twrote down what he had conceived in
the delirium of the night. 'hen he waked the
family, and Bang his production; atfirst, the wo•
men turned pale, then they wept, then burst
forth into a cry of enthusiasm. It was the song
of the nation and of terror.
Two months afterwards, Dietrick went to the
scaffold, listening to the self same music, com•
posed under his own roof and by the inspiration
of his last bottle of wine. The people sang it
everywhere; it flew from city to city, to every
public orchestra. Marseilles adopted the song
at the opening and close of clubs—hence the
name, "Hymn of the Merseillaise ;'! then it sped
all over France. They sung it in their Louses,
in Public assemblies, and in the stormy street
convocation. Da Lisle's mother heard it, and
eaid to her son, " What is tl,•is revolutionary
hymn, sung by bands of brigands, and which year
name is mingled ?" De Lisle heard it and shud
dere I as it sounded through the streets of Paris,
rung from the Alpine passes, while the royalist,
fled from the infuriated people, frenzied by hie
own words. Franco was a great amphitheatre of
anarchy and blood, and De Lisle's song was the
bittlo cry.
There is no national air that will compare with
the Marseilliase in•sublimity and power; it em
braces the soft cadences full of the peasant's
home, and the stormy clangor of silver and steel
when an empire is overthrown ; it endears the
memory of the vine dresser's cottage, and makes
the Frenchman, in his exile, cry "La belle
France!" forgetful of the torch, and sword, and
gullotine, which have made hls country a spectsb
of blood in the eyes of nations. Nor can the
foreigner hear it sung by a company of exiles,
or executed by a band of musicians, without
feeling that it is the pibroach of battle and
war.

The Telegraph Cable..• The Agamemnon
liammtx, N. S., August 6.—The orders of the
Associated Press to hold open the lines between
New York and Trinity Bay, N. F., last night,
were received and complied with as far as this
province, but from some unexplained cause the
Newfoundland line closed, or at least ceased to
work early in the evening, thus cutting off all
communication with the cable at Trinity Bay.
We have as yet no communication this morn
ing with the Trinity Bay Telegraph office, and
have, therefore, nothing import Ant to communi
cate in addition to the satisfactory report of
yesterday from Mr. Field. Oar last advises left
the engineers and their assistants employea in
getting the cable ashore atgthe Bay of Bull's
Arm. No doubt was entertained but that the
Agamemnon had arrived at Valentia Bay, but
as the telegraphic instruments for the trans
mission cf intelligence have never been put up
on board of either vessel, there can be no actual
communication, except by signals, until both
ends of the cable shall have been connected with
the shore, which may require several days.

A skirmish took place about the 20th July in
the immediate vicinity of Fort liee.rney, between
a small war parry of Cheyennes and Arapahoes
and the Pawnees. The assailants succeeded in
surprising a party of Pawneee, killing three of
them, among whom was the chief, and carrying
off a large band of horses. A considerable force
of Pawnees afterward pursued the Cheyennes,
recaptured their animals, and wounded several
of their adversaries. There were over one thou
sand Pawnees assembled near the post for peace•
fed purposes.

from India say that the heat was terrific, being
the hottest known for tweuty-five years. The

Railroads In Publib Streets.-Important
Legal Deolston
The Supremo Court, at Albany, has just deci
ded that a railroad does not become a nuisance
from the fact that its locomotive may endanger
life by running through the public streets. The
court holds that the publio highways belong to
the people, and through the Legislature, the
people may devote them to snob uses as the pub
lic convenience requires. Their authority is
supreme, and they do not have to ask any one's
consent to such use as the public may desire the
highways to be appropriated. To build a rail
road without authority of law would be a nui
sance whicka court of equity could prevent, but
when the Legislature gives its sanction, it is no
longer a nuisance, and no equity can interfere.
The court says that a railroad built by authority
of law is not a nuisance, and therefore can work
no legal injury, either to the public or any pri.
vats individual. It may occasion inconvenience
or loss, it may depreoiato the value of property
and reader Its enjoyment incommodious and al
most impoesiple, yet it is no wrong that the law
can redress. It is essential, to a nuisance either
publio or private, that it be a thing done or Buf
fered, contrary to law. A legitimate deduction
from absolute dominion of the State, is, says the
court, the Legislature authorize the construction
of a railroad along the lino of any street.—
When thus authorized, the road can not be de
nominated a nuisance, nor neither local authori
ties, nor any individual to whom it may work
special inconvenience, can successfully interfere
to prevent its oonstruot;on.
As old ago comes creeping on, it brings many at
tendant infirmities. Loss of appetite and weakness
impair tho health, and want of activity makes the
mind Esoontonded and unhappy. In cases where
old ago adds its influence, it is almost impossible to
add vigor and health, and although many remedies
have been tried, all have failed, until IMEREIAVE'S
1115LLAND BITTERS were known and used. In
I every case whore they have been employed they
have invariably given strength and restored the
appetite. They have become a great agent for this
alone, and aro used 17 many people who are suffer
ing from loss of appetite and general debility. In
eases of long standing chronic diseases, they act as
a charm, invigorating the system, time giving nature
another opportunity to repair physical injuries.

(A CARD FROM DR. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW YORE{ LONG INFIRM
ARY.—My connection for the past eight years with the
above Institution, as Chief Physician, and a twelve years'
course of steady devotion to the unroof Pulmonary Con
sumption and its kindred diseases, together with my un
rivalled opportunities and ad vantage of pathological reeearch
—aided not a little by a perfect system of a/cam/ inhala
tion—has enabled me to =iv) at a decisive, direct and sue
cesstal course of treatment for the positive and radical cure
of all difeasee of the Throat, Lungs, and Ais , Patuages. By
Inhalation, the vapor and curative properties of medicines
are directly adreesed to the diseased organs and the integu
ment Ido not advise the nseof Medical Inhalation of any
kind, to the exclusion of general treatment; and although I
consider it a useful adjuvant in the proper management of
those fearful and often fatal diaeasee, yet I deem it very no-
cessary that each patient should have the benefit of both
general and lccal treatment. The success of my treatment
to the above diseases, and the high character of the Inetitn
tion over which I have so long had the honor to presido,are
too well known to need any eulogy or comment from me.
At the solicitation of many private and professional friends,
through whose philanthropic: aid the above charity has been
long and liberally supported, and after due consideration, I
have concluded to make such arrangements as will bring
the bi edits of my experiments and treatment within the
reach of all, and not oil:fine myself, as heretofore, to those
only who entered the Infirmary, or woo were able to visit
me at my office. Hoping therefore that the arrangement
will give entire satisfaction, bah to my professional breth
ren and the public, I would respectfully announce in con
chudoa, that /can now be cmsulteclpersanaliy or by letter,on
all diseases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution , prepared to suit each individual
case. Inhaling Vapors,Afeilical Inhalers, ilk., ire., will be
forwarded by express to any part of the United States or
' the Canada& Tsang—My terms of treatment by letter are
as-follows, viz : $l2 per month for each patient which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's nee; also, In
haling Vapor, and an inhaling Apparatus. Payment as fol
lows:. $6 to be paid to .Expromi Agent on receipt of the box
of Medicine. and the balance $6 at the expiration of the
month, ,H r the pall at be cured or is entirely esti/Med with
the treatuient Patients, by giving a fall history of their
raze, and their symptoms In full, can be treated as well by
letter as by personal examination. Patients availing them
selves of Dr. lirreft's treatment may rely upon immediate
