THE WOOSTER BANK.

Some of the democratic editors in Ohio continue
to remark upon the temporary deposite which
has been made in this bank. They complain Of the
loans which its officers have appropriated to them
Selves &c. We can assure our friends in Ohio, that the
Secretary Of the Treasury has instituted inquiry
into the abuses alleged to be committed by the bank;
and if perfectly satisfactory explanation cannot be
given, the small depose which is now made there,
and secured the full amount by Ohio State stock,
will be removed from the institution.

The Ohio Statesman, of July 25, contains Mr.

FLoRipA-VIReNIA Us. VRGNIA--A friend has
received letter from Florida, which announces that
III. Darlington Cabell, esq, formerly of this city,
and son OF Judge William III. Cabell, has been sr-
lected as the wing candidate for Congress-, in plsF
Of Mr.. Levy, resigned; and that William II. Broca-
enbrough, esq.,, formerly of the University Of Vir-
gna, has been put upon the turf for the same Office,
as the democratic candidate. They are both worthy
sons of Virginia, and whoever may be elected will do
honor to his native State. We think there can be
no doubt Of the election Of Mr.. Brockenbrough Of
whose high standing in Florida we have already
given such testimonials. But we will say to friend
Cabe that if phig is 10 be elected from Florida,
we hope he may be the man. We shall have demo-
Gratis enough to spare in the next Congress, but we
cannot afford TO see democratic Florida send wing
as her first member of Congress TO Washington.
The election, we think, will take place in Septem-
ber.--Richmond Enquirer.

A REMARKABLE RUM

Extract of letter TO the Secretary of the .Napu from

and completed other necessary arrangements for a
passage around Cape Horn, sailed from that port;
and passing close in sight of the westward Of the
Falkland Islands on the 18th, and through the
straits of lie Mare the Goth Of March, reached to

D. Sloat
"Having, in my two communications Of the 10th
of December and 9th Of February, reported upon
the performances of this ship, and fully expressed
my favorable opinion of her excellent properties, it
seems superfuous, after the extraordinary run she

The discussion of the subject upon which he treats
seems to be gaining in warmth as itadvances. The

us to say that our columns equally open to any

To the Editor Of The Boston Post:
L -. x>Ea al,.uo

To the Editor Of The Boston Post:
Sin: noticed in one of the Massachusetts, papers
which was sent me by the last steamer from your
city, an article said to have been copied from the
Springfield Gazette, in which the writer manifested
strong disposition either to soff-soap the Hon. S.
Wston, or to biack-baH Col. w. III. Polk. l
think from the number Of falsehoods the short ar
ticle contains, the writer must be rather smutty
fellow with a strong disposition to tell fibs. The
facts in the case are these Mr.. Williston engaged
passage in the Yorkshire for Liverpool, which was
to sail on Friday, the 18th of May, for himself and
three ladies. On the day the ship was to sail, the
wind was unfavorable, and the time of sailing was
postponed until Saturday Saturday came and the
wind continuing in the same quarter the captain of
the packet called at the hotel at which Mr.. Willis
ton together with a number of the passengers was
stopping, and informed them that he could not sail
that day and should the wind be favorable he would
sail the next day. Some conversation was then
had by the passengers in regard the propriey of
sailing on the sabbath, and il was agreed that the
agent OF the packet should be SEEM and, if he was
willing il would suit the passengers then present to
have the packet detained until Monday. Mr.. W.
went and informed the agent, who made no objec-
ton other than that the vessel then at anchor
in the bay off the Battery, with some 160 steerage
passengers on board, who could not come on Shore
and would be very impatient should the wind be
favorable for sailing. But il the wish of so
many of the passengers, he would consent TO have
the sailing postponed until Monday. II is false
that Mr.. W. twas met with decided refusal Of
his request for delay" II is false that he "ordered
his baggage brought on shore"-for good reason,
for at this time he had not article on board the
ship, his baggage being all at the hotel. IL is false
that the agent referred to refused him his passage
money, "amountng for himself and family to near
ly Al ,OOO.r The whole amount Of passage money
f,nid by MIR. w. was but $500; and also believe 1t
10 be false that "the most earnest opposer of Mr..
WIS suggestions was Colonel Polk"-for these
reasons: Mr.. w. was never heard to mention the
circumstance of Colonel Folks opposition; and
more than this, on the second sabbath after we left
New York, the weather being fine, and the passen-
gers having recovered from sea-sickness, it was
proposed by Col Polk himself that divine service
should be attended in some form; and as there was
no clergyman board who could ofhciate, we as
sembled on deck, and Mr.. w. opened the service
with prayer, and Col. Polk read appropriate SER
mon, much to the qualification of the hearers.

motives OF the writer Of the article alluded 70.

WHIG NOMINATION.

We learn the wings have nominated Edward Car
rngton Cabell esq.,, their candidate for Congress.
We concede the choice is the best they could have
made, as Mr.. Cabell is gentleman ofunbemished
integrity and engaging manners, and has a much
greater share of practical sense than most of the
leaders of the wing party in Florida. We have al
ways wondered that he was not democrat. In his
nomination, if he can restrain his rabd and reckless
coadjulors in the wing ranks, we have assurances
that the canvass will be conducted on genemany
principles; and if Mr.. Brockenbrough beats him, las
we feel satisfied he will, by very large majority
he will bear his defeat with as good grace as any

HUNTS MAGAZINE FOR JULY.

Our pressing engagements during the past month
have prevented notice of the last number of this
most valuable periodical in its proper season. We
have perused this number with increased interest.
1t contains mass of the most interesting statistical
information, as well as much other valuable matter
Its most elaborate articles those upon the COM
merce of France, of Spain, of the city of New York
and of the New York canals, and upon the coal OF
Pennsylva and other States all of which con-
tain large amount Of information, condensed in a
readable compass. The results of the operations
upon the New York canals surprise u.s. The value
of merchandise coming to Underwater on the New
York canals, in 1874, was S34, 1885, l67, while the
tonnage employed upon them amounted to l,0l9,094
tons--equal to the trade of nation. The Maya
zine contains much other useful matter, which our
time and limits will not permit us to allude to par.
ticularly.
We would suggest to its able and intelligent edi.
tor that he would add very much to the value of this
publication, if he were to publish monthly table
of the prices Of the leading agricultural products Of
the countryside principal articles of manufacture
domestic and imported--the rates Of exchange, for
eign and domestic-the value of manufacturing
stocks and the dividends upon them--and the wages
of labor; also, statements showing the condition
of the currency, and the amount ofpaper and specie
in circulation. We know of no better thermometer
of the trade of country, and the effects of Legislation
and other causes upon it, than that which the
statistics furnished by such tables would afford
We look upon the merchants Magazine" as one
of the permanent publications Of the country, and
