The proof that Grnn't tours through the States have not bi'on merely for the purpose ot recreation, but lor the much deeper pur pose of informing himself of the wishes and views of the people over whose affairs be was chosen to administer, are gradually coming out. Among the most cheering of these is the fact, that while in our own State.the President thoroughly investigated the conditions at. d state of our chief indus tries and in doing so arrived at the conclu sion that the stimulation of home industry a one of the most important means not only of benefitting the working man, but of su.s taining and improving the financial credit of the Government. The following is the sub stance of a conversation which passed be tween the President and one of the gentle men who accompanied him, on his recent visit to this State: Tn discussing the agricultural and manu facturing interests of the country, the Pres ident remarked that the annual importation of iron and steel, and other manufactures which could as well be produced at home, amounted to more than $1"0,OK),OIW. This he supposed to be what was required for consumption over and above the domestic supply, and lie asked a gentleman familiar with the iron business, within what length of time the home product of iron might be expected to become sufficient fur the country. In reply to this the gentleman stated that the amount imported did not indicate an inability of the country to produce all that is needed. That the prnspt rity of domes tic manufacture, stimulated demand and en abled consumers to buy and tay for kinds and shapes ot foreign iron, not made in this country, or not made so cheaply here, the President then said that he thought it vory desirable that we should have a sufficient supply from domestic sources, and thus ben efit -the labor of the country, and effect a saving of millions of dollars now annually expended for foreign iron and .steel. It is gratifying to believe that what so many reviled as "a pleasure tour," has been the means, as this eovetsatton indicates, of putting the Chief of the Administration in to such thorough' accord with the interests cf the working men and of the whole peo ple on the vital point of protection. What the South is Doing. The Southern papers generally, as we have said, anticipate a cotton crop of about 3,000.000 bales colton, which" valued at i 1 OS' per bale (say 455 pounds at 25 cents), will give f 324, OOJ.OUJ; also a corn crop of 285,000,000 bushels, valuta at $230,000,000, and the sugar, wheat, tobacco, and other crops will yield $150,0!J,0J0 more, giving in all a product of not less than $704,000,000, which with a population of not over 11,000,000, will show att average of 01 per head, which largely exceeds that of the .Northern and Western States. The State of North Caro lina will thii year yield products worth f 50, 000,000, which, with her population of not ouer 070,0 K), will show an average of $74, 62 per head. In any part of the South fine lands under cultivation can be bought at from $5 to $'J per acre, which in a few yara will be worth five times the purchase mon ey. The climate is exceedingly salubrious, and offers no iu.upurabie hindrance to the manual labor of the white man, as is proved by the fact that there are njw no less than 200,000 whites cultivating cotton with their own hands. And if white men fail to fur nish the required amount of labor and the negro turns out badly, there's Koopman schapp and Lis millions of Chinese for our Southern friends to fall back upon. Secession in a New Form. Secession seems to be developing itself 111 a new form, viz.: the illicit distillation ot whisky, the fluid to w hich it partly owed itsexLstence.and, although the vase may be broken, the scent of the roses hangs round it still. In one week in Virginia thirteen illegal whisky mills have ben seized by the United States Collector. A manfacturer of this fragrant essence in Georgia, bearing the Suggestive name of Dcdniau, killed a deputy collector early this month. We can understand how a tax on whiky may be highly repugnant to the unreconstructed heart both of the pro ducer and the consumer; but Southern gentlemen addicted to ardent spirits must remember that there was a time, a halcyon time, when whisky was poured uutaxed into their tumblers. Having sinned, let them suffer like men ! Dcaixa the progress of the late gold speculation in Wall street., the President was adjured Ly Democratic journals not to interfere, warned that he had no I usiness to break up speculations for a rise in Gold and implored to let the Bulls alone and not suffer the Bear to claim him. Now we find these same journals even more zealous in arraigning him because he didn't interfere sooner, and seeking to prove that his delay until the ill -fated Friday must have been because of corrupt motives ! To such base uses can party necessity bring them. The Department of Agriculture, under t!. cduiinbtration of General Horace Cap roQjia growing into a great influence. It was never trior effieienly managed. That it can be largely improved, however, admits of ao doubt. More opportunities should be extended to th Commissioner to increa.se bis experiment and to furni.h fuller in for mation to the working farmers. He should be especially enjoined to visit as many of tna agricultural fairs, South, East, and West, as possible. Both nouses of the Virginia Legislature have ratified the Fifteenth Amendment.and thus far all is well in that quarter. How to Pay the National Debt. We quote an instructive passage from the address delivered to (he farmers of Ulster county, N. Y., at the fair in Kingston, by the Democratic Geovernor, Mr. Hoffman, who seems 10 be favorably impressed with the Republican idea of paying the National debt. He -aid : 4'0ur country, notwithstanding the great debt which rests upon it, cannot tail to grow rich and prosperous, if our people will be economical. The extravagance of the ae in which we live, however, must be checked, or, with the corruption and de moralization which attend it, will come dis aster and distress. There is no estate so large that a spendthrift cautiot exhaust it. There is no people so powerful that extrav agance and corruption cannot destroy them. Oar exports of the great staples will bring noither national nor individ lal wealth, if they go only to pay for luxuries which ener vate and corrupt. Far be it from me to de ny any man or woman the enjoyment of any thing which will contribute to his or her ppa-e and happiness. But the nation is in debt twenty-five hundred millions of dollars more than a thousand millions of which is held by the people of other lands. What the nation owes, the people owe, and what the people owe, each individual owes, for we are sureties and ltondsmen for our coun try and tor each other. Bondsmen, indeed! and who is so much a bondsman as the debt or '! There is no way to get out of aebt but one, cither for nations or individuals. A man cannot pay his debts ty giving his note, nor can any Government pay its obligations by the Lssue of irredeemable paper. There is but one standard of value, and that has been fixed ly the common consent of the world, aud by that standard must ail debtors ultimately be judged. As no quack reme dies can remove deep seated diseases, to no ingeniously devised financial schemes can point out any but otic way to pay a nation's debt. When a man has violated the laws of health and finds his system broken, and his powers weakened, there is no medical specific which can save him. He must cease the practice of dissipation and tolly. He must nurse his exhuu.-ted energies. He must economize his wasted strength. He must duvelope, as best he can his physical powers.- "So it is with our couutry, which has bceu called upoH for profuse expenditures. It has within it elements of strength and the means to meet all its obligations, fully and fairly, if it will, but it must diminish its ex penses as well as iucrease its revenues. It must labor in earnest aud economize iu earnest- If a farmer owes $1,000, the payment of which is secured by a mortgage, he can pay it if he will, by his labor and out of his laud. If he neglect his farm ; if ha and his sons and daughters are extravagant ard wasteful; if family discord destroy the peace of home; if a reckless dissipation characterizes his life, he will add to his ob ligation and will not pay his debt. So with the nation. The labor of the country aud the great area of its territory, upon which the whole national indebtedness is a lien, can sustain the credit of the Government aud pay its obligatious. But if the people, who are the laborers, are extravagant and idle; if strife, discoid and contention shall prevail among them ; if passiou and folly, instead of judgment and good sense, shall control them ; if hatred rather t han love of one another and of their commou country shall move them, then the national honor will be imperiled. I have read many learn ed essays on the question of "How to Pay the National Debt." When men ask me what financial theory I have, I answer, "Only one, and it is this : A utiion of peo ple aud of States; a hearty joiniug together ot all sections, in the common work of re establishment aud restoration ; iudjstry, prudence, retrenchment and economy. In crease your earning ; diminish your exend itures. Save when you can and spend on ly when you must, and let the whole world ce that you mean to pay your debts. "If the people are extravagant, the Gov ernment will be. The stream caoL-ot rise higher than its source. The representative will not be better than those .he represents. Other people have sunk under thecrushiug weight of individual and general extrava gance and folly. Let us take warning by their examples, and iu doing so avoid their fate. Liability fob. Baggage. The New i'ork Commercial says: Oue by one the arbitrary rules set up by railroad companies and other grasping corporations are brought to grief; it only needs that they bhould be vigorously contested by some persous of en ergy and persistence. One of their arbitra ry regulations has long been, that baggage or other property received by one company would not b paid for if lost or damaged on a connecting line ; but Chief J us. tice Perley, ot I he Supreme Court of New Hampshire, has decided that this rule is good for noth ing. He very sensibly held that where any property is transported over a railroad line composed of several distinct roads, he or riginul company which received it is liable for the loss or injury, should any occur, whether the damage be on its road or any ot her.

Ex-President Pierce died at his residence in Concord, N. U., on the 7th instant. Appalling Disaster. A terrible accident occurred on October 1st, at the Indiana State Fair, resulting in a frightful loss of life, of which the Indian apolis Journal gives the following graphic account : One o'clock in the afternoon was the hour assigned for the trial of portable engines and saw mills, and into the competition several firms entered, among xthem Sinker & Co., engine builders, and Jxng. Joseph & Car ter.sawyers. The tent had been completed, and the victory, if victory it is, had been won by the Sinker machine. Seven min utes and a half of sawing had been done, with every part of the engine and mill strain ed to the utmost tension, after which the fires had been pcrmi ted to go down and the machines to rest. About three o'clock. Mr. Sinker's foreman thought it advisable to saw up the logs on hand, so as to clear up lor removal on the morrow. The engine was started, and the task accomplished, with the exception of two "turns." The pit be neath the saw was fil!d with sawdust, and a temporary rest was taken, to allow two colored helpers to clean it out. A large circle of interested lookers on were gathered about the area occupied by the machinery, while here nd there over the grounds were scattered twelve or fifteen thousand people. At a moment of undisturbed quiet, while the hum of the machinery was hushed and attention directed toward the ring where the fast trotting was about to commence, a noi?e like the explosion of a park of artillery sa luted the esr, und a c.mcussion of the earth as of an earthquake sent a thrill of fear to the heart. A volume of steam, a blinding cloud of dust and smoke, the air filled with debris of timber, of pieces of iron, of bhreds of clothing, parts of human beings, of groans, and of shrinks, men falling hither aud thither, and ranks opening as if plowed through by grape and shrapnel, told the fearful tale of an explosion. The engine, a minute before a thing of beauty, obedient to the touch of man, was torn and rent by a mighty convulsion ; its comeliness gone, its parts scattered to the four winds, hardly a joint left in integrity. That which in one second bad been the implement o! industry, in the next was turned into a sickle of death, reaping and mowing its victims in a swath confined by no rule and measured by no reg ularity. The scene was one to appal the stoutest heart. The immense crowd, only informed enough to know that a terrible accident had occurred, surged and swayed like mighty billows, breaking over every confine and threatening to add to the , list of deaths, by trampling beneath their feet some of the weaker and the smaller, who were reeling a bout in the vortex in utter helplessness. First impelled by curiosity, the jam was to ward the spot from whence the sound came ; the maimed and wounded lying about the vicinity were overwhelmed, and doubtless some were killed outright who might have lived had they been allowed air and given attention at once. When curiosity was ap peased by the ghastly sights which met the eye, and when the people, in a dazzled and bewildered way, came to comprehend the character of the disaster,a panic seized them and even a more fearful calamity was threat ened through their terror. ' Strenuous exer tions were made by the cooler and calmer to quiet and allay excitement, and, after a time, something like order was evoked. A survey ot the extent of the causal ty, reveal ed the fact that twenty-four persons had been killed, and about one hundred wound ed. Of the wounded a number have since died. This is truly one of the most fearful and appalling disasters that has ever oc curred in this country. German-American Cable. It is pro posed to have direct telegraphic communi cation between North Germany and the U nited States. It is under discussion wheth er the Anglo-American cable shall be used or an entirely new one laid. The opinion is in favor of the latter, German men of sci ence believing that it will not be necessary to make the cable as strong as the one now in use, thereby greatly reducing the eost. Whatever may be determined on, ia this respect, it is agreed that Cuxhaven must be the starting point for the cable, on the North German coast. It is fifty eight miles west of Hamburg, and is about the same distance north of Bremen, both of which are cities of great commercial importance, having in creasing relations with the United States. There will be no difficulty in raising the re quisite fuuds, once that the details of the project are Arranged.' Storms in the Sun. Scientific investi gations into the mysteries of the suns sur face has been great this year. A great magnetic storm is predicted. An examina tion of the sun through new and powerful instruments has revealed new and wonder ful appearances on its surface. Immense spots, millions of miles in circumference, are said to have appeared. One of them recently moved a hundred thousand miles in a second. We are told, too, that violent physical changes are going on; that the magnetic storms are regulated by fixed laws, and occur every eleven years. The next one is to be in 1870. Its effects upon mag n.tic instruments will be noted with intense interest by the fii st scientific men ot the day. What effect thesis-"tonus will have upon the atmosphere, vegetation and the light of the sun, will afford plenty of food for specula tion and thought. New Postal Stamps. Th Postal Ilec ord says: "General Terrell, the Third As sistant Postmaster General, in order to re move dissatisfaction expressed against the present postage stamps, proposes to change them, and, with this view, he has directed the Baai Note Company which furnishes them to prepare the new designs for the new issues. The heads of Washington, Jackson, Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson, are to be restored, in place of the present designs, to be represented as profile busts, each to represent the various denominations. The stamps are to be larger that tWe cow in nse, and oblong. Instead of one hun dred and fifty being printed on a sheet there will only be one hundred. The former col or red will also be restored.

Letter of Father Hyacinthe. -The following', ia the text of the letter, which, as advised by cab!e,Fatber Hyacintbe has addressed to the General of his order at Rome : 31 v Very Reverend Father: During the five years of my ministry at Notre Dame de Paris, despite the open attacks and secret accusations of which I have been the obj'ct. your esteem and confidence have never fail ed me for a moment. , I preserve numerous, testimonies of them written by your own band, and which were addressee! as much to my preaching as to myself. Whatever may happen, I shall hold them in grateful re membrance. To day, however, by a sudden change, the cause of which I do not seek io your heart, but iu the intrigues of a party all powerful at Rome, you arraign what you encout aged, you censure what you approved, and you require that I should speak a lan guage or preserve a silence which would no longer be the entire and loyal expression of my conscience. I do not hesitate an instant. With language perverted by a command, or mutilated by reticence, I shall not ascend the pulpit of Notre Dame. I express my regret tor this to the intelligent courageous Archtdshop who has given his pulpit to me, and sustained me there agaiust the bad will of men of whom I shall speak at the proper time. I express my regrets to the imposing auditory who surrounded mc there with its attention, its sympathies, I was nearly going to say, its fiicndship. I would not be wor thy the auditory of the Archbishop, of my conscience, nor of God, if I would consei-t to act before them in such a role. I separa ted uiy.se Tat the same time from the convent in which I have resided, and which, under the new circumstances that have happened to me, renders it, for me, a prison of the soul.

I have promised monastic obe dience, but limited by the honesty of con science,, the dignity of my person and my ministry, 1 have promised under the benefit of that superior law of justiee and of royal liberty which is. according to the Apostle St. James, the proper law of the Christian. It is for the more perfect practice of this holy liberty that I came to ask at the cloister, now more than ten years ago, in the elan of enthusiasm free of all human calculation,-! shall not venture to add free of all. c'ne illu sions of youth. If, iu exchange for my sacrifices, I am to day offered chains, I have not only the right but the duty to reject them. The pr-cnt hour is solemn. The Church pa,es through one of the most vio lent, drk, and decisive crises of exigence here below. For the first time in three hundred years an (Ecumenical Council is not only convoked, but declarad nectxxary ; such is the impression of the Holy Father. It is not in such a moment that a preacher of the gospel, were he the last of all, can consent to remain as the mute dogs of Isra el, unfaithful guardians, whom the prophet reproaches as unable to bark. Canes nuti, nnn vahmtes latrare. The saints were nev er silent. I am not one of them, but nev ertheless I belong to their race, filii sancto rum Mumiis, and I have always been ambi tious to place my steps, my tears, aud, if necessary, my blood, iu the tracks which they have left. I rai.-e, therefore, before the Holy Father aud the Couucil, my pro testation as Christian and preacher against these doctrines and practices, calling them selves Roman, but which are not Christian, aud which in their cnroachuients, always most audacious and most baneful, tend to change the constitution of the Church, the basis as well as the form of liar teaching, and even the apirit of hei piety. I protest agaiust tbe divorce, as impious as it is in sane, which it is sought to accomplish be tween the Church, who is our mother ac cording to eternity, and the society of the nineteenth century, of whom we are the sons according to the times, and toward whom we have also some duties and attatch ments. I protest agaiust this more radical and dreadtul opposition to human nature, which is attacked and made to revolt by these false doctrines in its most indestructi ble and holiest aspiration. I protest above all agaiust the sucreli;.'ioa? perversion of the Word ot the S n of Gjd himselt', the spirit and the letter of which re equally trodden under foot by the pharisaism of the new law. It is my most prof jund conviction that if France, in particular, and the Latin races in general, are delivered over to social, moral, and religious anarchy, the principal cause is without doubt not in Catholicism itself, but in the maimer in which Catholicism has, during a long time, been understood and practiced. It appeals to the council about to meet, to seek tor remedies for the excess of our evils, and to apply them with ns mush force as geutleness. But if fears in which 1 do not wish to share, come to be re alizjd, if the august assembly has not more liberty in its deliberations than it has already iu its preparation, it, in a word, it is depri ved of the essential characters of (Ecumen ical Council, I will cry to God and men to cailau 'ther truly united io the holy spirit, uot in the spirit of party, and representing really the universal church, not the silence of some men, the oppression ot others.

National Thanksgiving. By tfie President of the United States of America Proclamation. The year which is drawing to a'close has been free from pestilence. Health has pre vailed throughout the country; abundant crops rewarded the labor of the husband man ; commerce and maufacturcs have-suc-ccssfully prosecuted their paths; mines and forests have yielded liberally; the nation has increased in wealth and strength ; eace has prevailed, and its blessings have advanc ed every interest of the people in every part of the Union ; harmony and fraternal interest restored are obliterating the marks of past conflict and estrangement ; burdens have been lightened, means have been in creased ; civil and religious liberty are secur ed to every inhabitant of this land, whose soil is trod by none but freemen. It be comes a people thus favored to make ac knowledgment to tbe Supreme Author,from whom such blessings flow, of their gratitude and their dependence, to render praise and thanksgiving for the same, and devoutly to implore a continuance of God's mercy. Therefore. I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United Siates, do recommend that Tltursday, the eighteenth (ISfiJ diy of A'j vcmlrr, be observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God, tbe Creator and ruler of the universe; and I do further recommend to all the people of the United States to assemble on that day in their ac customed places of public worship, aud to unite in the honor aud praise due to the bountiful Father of all mercies, and in fer vent prayer for the continuance of he man ifold blessiugs he has vouchsafed to us as a people. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the. United States to be affixed this fifth day of Octo ber, A. D. 1869, and of the independence of the United States of America the rmcty fourth. U. S. GiiANT. By the President, Hamiinu Fish, Sec retary of State. Bright Yoi:;q Men.

Real estate in Philadelphia, it is said, is worth nothing like what it was two or three years ago, and is still declining in value.
