In illustration of these general views,
Il MIR. Webster referred TO what occurred
in the city Of New York after the great
Il fire there, " hich caused such deslruc-
tion Of property. twas remarkable that
notwithstanding the immense loss nobody
failed. Ii is a wonderful circumstance
and is full of instruction. They did not

OF insolvents, but because they had plen-
ty Of credit, and they GO, along by means
of that credit, and they had every motive
to persevcre. Had there been bank

have been two hundred bankrupts. -

to tack on TO It call for the cOrrespon-

The last address Of Amos Kendall,
is certainly one Of tho most pitiful pro-
ductions that ever came from his pen.
1t is an insult to the common-sense
understanding Of every honest man in
the nation. We hope to see it taken
hold of by some one capable of doing
full justice to it-though we cannot for
II moment imagine that such an appeal
false and contcmptiblo as it is,-will
produce any other effect than that of
disgust and adherence for the man,
and the cause he advocates. The Ad-
dress is published at length in yester-

and several articles Of wearing apparel, were found
a few days ago about half mile north of Mr..
Pinney's tavern, on the river road between this
place and Chicago. The remains indicate that
he was large man and Of middle age, his teeth
being all sound and little worn. A small brass
pistol, loaded and stock somewhat dccaycd, and
a number of wooden buttons, were also among
the remains. Theywer found on piece of low,
marshy ground, covered with grass, and appeared
TO have lain there some 10 or ~ months. How
the individual came TO his death is involved in
mystery. lie was, perhaps murdered or, which
seems more likely, froze to death last winter.

THE ILLINOIS FREE TRADER.

Fugatisc from Justice Arrcsfed.-fhe Phiadel-
phia Spirit of the Times says: A young man
named Elias Wallack, was arrested in tavern
where he was attending bar, at the instance of a
Mr.. Simmons, of Gallatin county, Illinois, upon
a charage of robbing him (Simmons) of a pocket
book, containing $500. The robbery was alleged
to have been pcrpctratcd some months since in
Illinois while Mr.. Simmons was sleeping in the
same room with the defendant, who was friend
of his and employed by him in selling goods that
were entrusted to him.-Aftcr committing the rob-
berry on expressing contriton, Simmons forgaye
him, and again entrusted him with quantity of
goods to sell. He went oil with the goods and
was never heard of till discovered by accident.
The circumstances connected with the case show
altogether combination Of vilany and ingrati-
tude rarely to be met with. Wallace was taken
before Alderman Brazer, and committed to Moy-
amensing to await the demand of the Governor of
Illinois,
