The cheering intelligence from the battle fields
Of the Revolution, show that they, now as then,
are beyond the corrupting influence of British
gold Indignantly they scorned Stockton's unwar-
rantabe interference, and gave the LIE to his
boast that he could control her freemen with his
money. A more glorious victory, won over such
fearful odds, the annals of party warfare does not
record.

THE BENEFITS OF THE TAR.
IFF,

Mr. Evans, the chairman Of the COM
mi,tee of finance, in the U. S. Senate,
remarked on the las. day of the session
tina. it was not considered necessary to
report any provision for the payment
of the outstanding loan Of 1872, 900.
He stated that there would be a surplus
in the Treasury at the end Of the year.
According to Mr. Els statement, the ex-
pendiiures, up to July. would be less
than 81 1000, 900, and the receipts more
than $27 100000. "He begged to re-
mind the Senate that this was the first
year, since 1887, that the receipts had
exceeded the expenditures. He believ-
ed there would be surplus in the
Treasury ef slO,O00,O00."

THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER.
BY ]. G. WHITTIER.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deep
AS loves first whisper, breathed prayer
Her snow-whitc hands together pressed
Her blue eyes sheltered in the hd'
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms It hia'
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like a new snow fake. white and mute;
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven
She bowed that slight and matches torm'
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
@. God, If souls unsoilcd as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne,
II she upon her Bonded knees,
Our hottest and purest one;
She with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child OF hight
RI she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee
What far. far deeper need have we'
How hardly, If she win not heaven
| Will our wild errors be forgiven.

CONGRESS

Adjourned on the 18th ult. On the
10th "a vast amount of legislative bus
mess was transacted" in the Senate.
The Appropriation bills passed and al
so bill to abolish Imprisonment for
deb! in the Disirc. of Columbia.
The Senate rejected the nomination
OF Jas. S. Green TO be Secretary of the
Treasury and confirmed that of Geo.
M. Bbb, of Kentucky, to said Office.
The nominations of Edw. King and
R. M. Walworth to be Justices of the
United States Supreme Court, were or.
dered to lie on the table. AS usual,
the House sat late and was one contin-
ued scene Of excitement and hubbub
and effected nothing at last, in conse-
quence Of the great struggle between
the friends and opponents of the Cum
berland Road bill and the District bank
bill wishing to obtain direct vote upon
these measures.
On the l7th, the Senate passed sew
eral bills Of private character and con-
frmed the nomination of Mr. CUSHING,
as Minister to China. Same day, in
the House, the District Bank bill was
so amended as to allow the banks to
wind up and to sue and be sued. This
is abou. all we can CLEAN from the
papers concerning the two last days of
Congress. The most agreeable news
is that they haze adjourned and gone
home, many of them to meet the mer-
tied rebuke Of their constituents and
never to return to Washington again.
Almost every proceeding Of importance
has been an inconsistent one. They
have done little or nothing. The locos
had the power but dare not carry out
their favorite measures.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Rem arkable Curiosity.


A very rare specimen of Geology,
and one we'll worthy the notice of the
curious and scientific, has been exhib-
tied to us. 1t is very large petrilac-
ton Of an extinct species of the genus
of Ammoni,es known as the cornu am
monis. 1t is very nearly perfect, ex-
cept that large part of its she'll is de-
tached. It's length is about 50 inches
and it measures about fifteen inches
in circumference, a foot from the ex.
tremeties. 1t has more than 40 scales

tinc.. MIR Leyell, in his work on &C.

ING ga chambered shell, curved like a

swers the specimen we have seen very
accurately. This petrifac,ion was ex-
humed, from depth of many feet, in
limestone quarry of our town and was
presented to the Geological institute Of
this city by Mr. MILTON B. SuTTLE.
In connection with the above we will
say that we have seen variety Of very

THE CROPS.

We rode in the country several days
since and made a circuit Of about twen-
ly miles. We took particular notice of
the crops on the route. The wheat and
oats, generally speaking, look pretty
well, and, if favorable weather contln-
ues, will produce fair crop. Some
of course, will turn out very poor
ly. The corn presents very I'M
favorable appearance; it is but three or
four inches high and quite yellow
We noticed but one .passable" field on
the whole route. The weather has
been very unfavorable to the growth OF
grain Of every description. We trust
however, we will have warm summer
and pleasant autumn. We advise our
friends in the country to "drlve dull
care away by industry and attention
to what little they have, and thereby al
may yet be well.

Putting Laughing face upon a

Campaign.--WhiIe General Jackson
was operating in the Creek country
some twenty odd years ago. he invar-
iably gave orders that all encampments
should be made near the main body to
prevent surprise and alarm ; but he had
one officer Cap. G., who although a
brave man was rather lawless, and dis
posed to prowl and "bush whack" a.
bout on his own hook and account.
When the main camp fires were lit,
at night, his would. frequently be seen
off on some hill by itself. mile, per-
haps, from the others. and in very
exposed situation. Gen. Jackson fin
ally got as tired of giving his orders
in relation to encampment as Capt g..
was of receiving them, and seeing his
fire one nigh. on a distant hill the com.
mander sent an aid to arrest the brave
but eccentric officer

this city, alluded to above, is the rarest exposition oil the
present system Of banking that has under our notice
for some time
The baakng system Of this country has created many
instances of bankruptcy like the two referred to- Many
of the banks yet in existence would if their internal al
fairs made public present the same situation as the
Grard and such institutions have shown. The honof
able hghminded that control the various banks dis
trbued through the country who have at their disposal
Improperly OF widows and orphanswho entrusted
with all that many possesswhose character and repus
ton creates confdence-and who after years Of dssimu-
lation and peculaon finally conrive pocket the spois,
and interested long schedule of assets most
of which are not worth the paper they printed
The banks are brought into this condition by pursuing
system of speculation, that gradually absors their sub
stances and finally. leaves them at heart rotten and their
officers corrupt and dishonest, Our banks may, for a
series of years 60 along apparently smoothly and pro-
ftaby; but no one not behind the curtain deeply
verscd in the secrets of their accounts tell what
day or an hour may bring forth
