THR SUSPENSION IN omo.-The effect

THR SUSPENSION IN OHIo.-The effect of
a general suspension of specie payments
by the banks in Ohio, directly upon the
banks themselves, and indirectly upon the
people, will in any case, be most unhappy.
Whether they hold OIL and submit to be
draine of their coin before they bow to the
pressure of the times, or, foreseeing the du-
ration of the storm that is coming, they
close their doors, the case is the same, and
the sentence that has been already pronoun-
ced against them all, without distinctions
will be none the less certain--none the less
destructive. In sixty days after bank
shall suspend, one or more Of the bank COM
missioners will be put in possession of its
effects, who, by the law of the last winter
Is commanded to collect its debts, dispose
of its property, pay demands against it and
wind up its concerns. The result will be
that general enforcing Of the collection o.
debts will take place, and ruin to thousands
will follow.

We copy, to-day, letter from cores
pondent of the Fort Wayne Sentinel. The
writer is, most probably, one of the Indiana
fund commissioners, who has returned from
an unsuccessful mission to Europe. There
is wisdom in the lessons he inculc ties, such
as we might hope our own state would pro-
fit by. Now in these times of the scarcity
of money, that state will certainly be most
successful in making loans which can en-
ploy those loans in manner, which appa-
rently will produce the most and rsdiest
return. These are the great lines ofcommu-
nication, the only ones, in fact, that have as
yet in the United States, yielded any profit
at all.

Horrified as many are at the North of
the state of society in New Orleans, there
has recently been exhibited an instance of
not only heaven born but heroic philanthro-
py on the part of the Catholic Samaritan
Society of that city, which has scarcely a
parallel in the annals of tine good elsewhere.
When the dreadful yellow fever was sweep
ing oii'the citizens s. the strangers at Mobile
with an appalling fatality, band of the
Samaritans were sent over to that city OIL q
mission of charity from New Orleans, who,
notwithstanding the probability of falling
martyrs to the cause, went boldly and zeal
ously to work in visiting the sick and per-
forming the last sad offices to the dying.
The New Orleans Bulletin of Sept. 27th
thus notices the result their good works.
Cleu. Gaz.
A fresh impulse was thus given to the Ia
bors Of the humane, and much good has been
the result. The last accounts from Mobile
state that the Sama ritan company has as
many as forty-nne cases under their charge.
The sick had so accumulated on their hands,
that the Parent Society in New Orleans
have concluded to send them more help.
Accordingly, five recruits were despatched
yesterday.

LABoR-sAvING SoAP.-The following is
a recipe for making the labor-saving soap
ESQ called,) which is an excellent article fol
washing, and a saving of labor. The reci-
pes for making have been sold from s. to
$40, and the soap cents per pound; but
can be manufactured for about two cents.
Take two pounds of sal soda, two pounds
of yellow bar soap, and ten quarts of Wa
ter: cut the soap in thin slices, and boil all
together two hours; then strain it through
cloth; let it cool, and it is fit for use. Di-
rectlons foruslng the soap:--Put the clothes
in soak the night before you wash, and to
every pail of water in which you boil them,
add one pound of soap. They will mead no
rubbing; merely rinse them out, and they
will be perfectly clean and white.

A PERFECT COP sEND.--The democratic
definition of the term, is fat office with q
salary Of $4,000 per annum, attached to it.
The New Era, the organ of the administra-
ton party in New York, thinks the Presi-
dent has not been quite thorough enough in
the "relorm principle and recommends
Peter Hagener as fit subject for the
Political Guillotine. Mr.. Ii. is hardly radi
caI enough TO suit the Locos in New York,
consequently it is recommended to the Pre-
sident 10 make way with him, and appoint
in his stead some hungry pot house brawier
who having "spent his all to bnild up the
party would consider such situation per-
feet God send" The fitness of the salary
to the indivduaL and not the fitness OF the
man for the office, is the standard winch
regulates political prcferment with the party
in power.

came passengers in the New York steam

evening, several Of them applied to the bar
for spirits, but were refused, and informed
thet there commander had left strict orders
not to sell them drop. In this dilemma, a
council of war was called, and a stratagem
hit upon which succeeded admirably. They

serving that he believed it to be the moral
duty of every man, when he was convinced
of error, to renounce it as publicly as he had
advocated it--that he had always acted
with the Democratic party, but that he had
become satisfied that the doctrines Of the
present Administration were wrong, and if
carried out would ruin the country, and he
therefore publicly announced his aIegi-

We learn from the Alton Telegraph that
a fire occurred in that city on the Sd inst. by
which property to tho amount of $4,000
was destroyed. The fire was discovered in
frame building where large amount OF
goods had been temporarily stored. The
Telegraph says that circumstances seem 10
prove that the goods were not consumed,
but stolen, and that the building was subse-
quentlyfired for the purpose of conceallng the
robbery, and enabling the thieves to carry
of their ill-gotten booty without molestation

We find the following without credit
among the miscellaneous extracts of one Of
our exchange papers. 1t smacks of Prem
tice, and is to good to be lost:
Gen. Gaines, now that his trenchant sword
is in its scabbard, is fourishing that still more
dreaded weapon, his pen. In the columns ol
the Memphis paper he is writing down
couple of gentlemen, who he says, have
intermeddled with his private affairs. We
advise the Government to send him to Flor
ida to write down Mr.. Sam Jones. If he
cannot accomplish the work, let Gen, Ma
comb be commissioned to aid him. If Sam
can stand Ganes's prose and Macombs poe
try, he is much more wonderful Indian
than we took him to be.

LAMRNTABLE OcCURRENCE---Four per-
sons drowned in Lake Michigan.
We are indebted to Mr.. A. H. Gardener,
of the steamboat De Witt Clinton for the
following particulars. He says: con the
llth ull., while on our return trip from
Chicago, we stopped at Milwaukee. There
is no pier at that place, and such vessels as
touch there, have to anchor one mile from
the beach. On the day above mentioned,
boats crew consisting of A. II. Squires,
l.. Randall, clerk, w. Vosburgh, steward,
G. Brown mate, Mr.. Johnston, the general
agent ofthc Norwegian company, captain
Of the steamboat Trowbridge, a stranger,
name unknown, and myself, went on shore
at that place. Business compelled us to do
so, and it was 0 o'clock at night before we
attempted to return.
When about half way from the shore, the
boat swamped, and all were in an instant
buried IN the lake. 1t was so dark that we
could hardly distinguish each other. While
in the water, was seized with both hands
in my neckcloth by the Norwegian. ! at
tempted to disengage myselffrom him, but
/ could not and we sank together. When
at the bottom seized one of the mans
hands, and by desperate effort with my
hands and feet, freed myself and / saw him
no more. ...
On coming to the surface, chance threw
an oar in my way, which | seized, and it
gave,me confidence. After few minutes,
l was thrown against the yawl, and by
much exertion got in. There was no per-
son in it, or near, that could see. Present
ly ! saw the arm of man above the water,
near the stern of the boat. 1t turned out to
bo Capt. Squires. s-V-

THE CoRpoR ATIoN.--It Is time our city
officers were beginning to bestir them
selves. The muddy season is approaching,
and they ought to be talking about our side

Il is stated in the New York papers that

It's stated in the New York papers that
John Jacob Astor has determined to make
a bequest, in his will, of three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, for the establishment
of a free public library in New-York. Mr..
]. G. Gogswall, publisher of the New York
Review, has been authorized by Mr.. Astor
to purchase such works, from time to time,
as he may see fit, and as he has recently
sailed for England, it is conjectured that he
has gone out for this object. A large pub
lie library would be an honor to New York,
and would DO much to draw to the city men
of learning, and advance the stand of Ame-
ricau authorship.
