direction of his Department.
1t will be seen, by perusal of that letter that had in

1t will be Observed that the Mississippi after receiving

Their reasons for this short posponement than
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howey-
err beg leg leave to add that when this class is
sued few persons, if any, anticipated in the least the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
lyzed every kind of business and has caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade The
distress of capitalists and monled institutions has not
been confined to any single state IN our conieoerscy
but it has been severely felt from extremity OF the
country the other and has been general in several OF
the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And 1t
will not be considered matter OF surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post
ponement Of the drawing of important lottery should
have similar effect ofmuch greater magnitude
But it is hoped, that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes of our ct.
zens in every part of the Union will soon participate IN
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now OF
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
