Anhouph I have been something like the
Athenians Of old, who, according to the good
Book, were busy in learning some new thing, |
have vet succeeded but poorly, Business is
rushing on in its accustomed channels; still, its
course is steady and noise!ess. The most gloomy
prophets of evil have been constrained to acknowl
edge their error: and on all hands comes the vel
come salutation-" Things are looking better -
The truth is-and it is great truth, strong, a
heart cheering trutll-that the energies Of our
people and the fertility of our soil are lnvlnclble
The most mischcvous mal-administration oi
Government, both at home and IN Washington,
cannot destroy the one, nor entirely neurallzc the
other. These outward disasters may paralyze, but
they cannot cxtinguish they may blight but they
cannot kill they may bow down, vex, harass,
wrong the best interests Of the country; but,
Truth crushed earth, shall rise again.
and the public Industry and the fruits of the earth
will mount VIGOROUSLY, at the last, over the wrath,
the folly, the wickedness Of Man. 1t is true phi
osophcally, as it is true religiously, that God sets
bounds TO human evil, as well as to human good,
and SAYS to the mad wave of ruin" Thus far
shalt thou go, and no farther.' Heaven be
praised that it is So Otherwise, Passion, Ava
rice and Revenge, with every hateful vice, would
so possess and ravage the world that none else
but demons would or could inhabit it, David
Hume, all infdel as he was, admits this truth, in
substance, when he says, in that part OF his
History which relates to the fortunes of the
Royal Stuarts of Scotland, that there is a
point of depression in human affairs from which
they naturally take another and an opposite
direction" That direction, to be ascribed not to
luck, nor to chance. nor in some vague and un-
meaning sense, to Nature, but to the Great, the
Good the Mercful God, the All-wise Disposcr
of all human things, who thinks better and
kindlier for Man than Man thinks for himself
that direction, in my opinion, has begun. Had
we but discreet, steady and slllul hand at the
helm of Government, all mi ght soon be well with
us again AS it is, the Country arill rise up; and,
though like an overladen camel of the desert, she
rise but slowly and painfully, she will rise and
pursue her destiny with a steady step and an un-
ialtering spirit.
The Grain Market is exceedingly active here.
Wheat readily commands 50 cents and higher
figures, by several cents, have been reached.
There is a scarcity in our City for home con-
sumption: not that the country has cmptlcd
itself Far from it. Thousands and tens of
thousands of bushels are held by farmers, waiting
for still better prices There is an abundance of
Money here for tie purchase Of Produce. For
every other purpose, Money is still scarce and
commands q high interest. Real Estate is i'm
proving. Still some sales arc made at low prices

very heart of the city, finished off in the most

Jo- less than eight thousand more Eight thou

sacrifice but it was made under peculiar cir
cumstances. doubt if such bargain will ever
be made again in this city.
We had fight in our streets yesterday, between
two of the Editors of our Dailies. No damage,
believe was done, except the damage to the pub
lie ORDER which is quite enough to make such
things utterly disreputablc
A new Loco-Foco paper made its appearance
to-day 1t is called The Standard" 1t is un-
derstood to be Col. Benton's organ, and that 1t

porter, very ably, as think, sustains the nircd

The expectation is-and | suppose 1t is So
that the new concern will get very large clrcu
lation in the country, where the great Sir Oracle
is much more dcvoutly worshiped than In this
city. Old Penn, of the Reporter will die-if die

should have regular bow-up. The Wings are
looking on this intestine war with great compoSure,
not rocking much how dog mag eat dog. My
opinion is that Mr.. Penn will be driven off from
Van Burcn; and If he is, Mr.. Van may hang
up his fiddle as to Missouri All the noml-
nations in Christcndom cond no; carry him
through successfully, with the wedgcd phalanx
of the Wings and the powerful pen and influence
of the Reporter in the field against him In that

THE WEST will own the Grisly Bear.
The .Sacan-as the papers call hm-Dr. Lard

very doubtful about his reception by 81. Louis

some outbreak in this singular sensitive, excltable
community. For our o'cn honor, hope nothing
of the sort may take place; yet, have serious
fears. There is, after all, something very loath-
