BRANCH MINT IN NEW YoRK.-We are glad to
see that movement is being made, here and IN
Washington, for the establishment of branch
mint in New York-an institution which Is much
needed here, and which we must have, sooner or
later Ii Is remarkable fact, that the Secretary
of the Treasury made allusion at all to the sub
ject in his recent report. lie had the fact before
him, that an immense quantity OF gold dust is re-
ceiyed here by every arrival from California, and
independent Of that, vast amount of foreign
coin reaches the same destination every year, as
well IN the course OF trade as by immigration.
There is no earthly necessity for incurring the risk
and expense of transporting all these sums to
distant city TO be either coined or recoined. Ii has
recently been shown, from official sources, that one
banking house alone has imported, within two
years, the enormous sum Of six millions seven
hundred and eighty thousand dollars, the greater
portion Of which was destined for this city, the re-
mniuder for Boston, and all OF which required re-
coinage. Again--it is estimated that, since July
last, the Importation Of gold dust into this port
from California, exceeds five millions Of dollars IN
value.
With these large receipts before us-indepen-
deniy Of the large sums which are carried TO this
port by European immigranis-,he narrowest COM
Ihtitheltn Chlhot buA Pfit'Nt 'hr htNtccig htit
is for branch mint in New York. When we take
into consideration the expenses attendant upon
Transporting these large amounts Of specie and gold
dust to distant cities for coming and recoinng we
cannei help thinking that our mercantile commu-
nifty suffer great deal from the tax which this
trouble and expense subject them to. Why IL is
that the great commercial emporium Of the new
world has been overlooked SO long in this respect,
il is hard to tell but we hope the subject will be
settled and disposed of during the present session
Would it no, be well TO hold public meetings, and
aeiraie 1t in that way, from time TO time, until it is
accomplished Our New York delegation N Con-
gress have a heavy responsibility resting upon them
in this matter, and they viii be remembered tor
their neglect. il they omit the opportunity to dis
charge It. We learn that four.fiths Of the coinage
at the mint IN Philadelphia Is on New York ac-
count and there is no reason why our merchants
should be taxed so heavily as they arc, IN the way
of expense which II costs to transport such large
amount of their property thther for either coinage
or reCoinage.

as ever met-came here to claim runaway slave, a
body-servant, and ono il whom he had placed great
con6dence-one who had always Jared better than the
free negroes here-he Mr.. Lee) found shameful treat
ment. He found that the slave had been persuaded
to away by some free negroes that he never de-
sired to leave his MASTER but the negroes and Aboi
1ionists would not allow him to go back. / made
arrangements then to sell the negro for one-third of
his value, and could have done so and he might have
easily earned his freedom had these fanatics and Abo-
litionsts let him alone Oh, these smooth Quaker
cals these fanatic Williams, these scoundrel Abolition

lGreat confusion. When we do justice to the
South, there will be no cause for complaint; there
will be no complaint. l'rhe noise now great

serving the Constitution intact are. They say
to the North, do US justice-simple justice Let rs
begin, then, to do duty, and the of strife
will be at an end. The Union must not, cannot be
dissolved. Nearly all of those before me have been
nursed under the Union. Protect the Union, then let
1t stand, the glorious beacon to which all the hopes
of humanity in the Old World are anxiously looking.
Let it be said that those brilliant stars grew dim
and one by one dropped from their sphere-that those
stripes arnished by internal ste-that the great
Union is shivered and scattered abroad. Let us say
to the South, will do you justice-our judicar ry
shall do you justice. Let US say and DO this, and
be bound up with the North in the hopes of those
who are TO come after us-who are to live in peace
and prosperity under our Union. Let US pledge our
lives, fortunes and sacred honor" that
star shall be obliteratsd, stripe erased from the
glorious flag that now waves over our Union.''

GRAND NEW YORK CIRCUS.

VNHIs Splendid Establishment acknowledged by oil,
i when it last passed through this country to be far
superior any other has since that period received the
addcnda of such smeant snd variety OF talent as to
render all competition vain and fuitless. The Compa-
ny, constituted is with the exception of Master
Jaes and Mss Henetta and the Proprietoii, entirely
presenting host of novel; surprising, enterain-
ing feas, which must be to be appreciated and bee
lieved.
THE PAVILION
Is indeed the Temple of Momus, the laughter loving
God presiding over every Joke, Quirk Quiddity, and
Corruscaon of wit and genius, manufactured by his two
favorite
CLOWNS, ROCKWELL & PETERSON.
And while they fling about with liberal humor abundancS
of fun and fancy, they pledge themselves TO the public
never to utter syllable that in any way shock the
delicacy of the most refined lady.
Considerable fuss has been made hy other travelling
Circus Companies about their Bands; but their music
morecompare with ours, than their wretched
hafsarved Horses, above which the fyingt
greedy for their lean inheritance compare with the SYM
mctrical, fat, powerful steeds attached to the
NEW YORK CIRCUS.

On Saturday morning last Mr.. Joseph Moss, Of
this place, came to his death by his own hands. Il
appears that hetd been drinking rather freely fof
several days preceding the commission of the fatal
act and that he had stolen horse in this City, gone
to Smtheld. stolen another horse, and returned On
Friday night, it is stated, he took large quantity of
laudanum, but it had no sensible effect upon him.
On Saturday morning, writ being out for him for
horse-stealing. he made off with doublebarrelled
gun towards the Southeastern suburbs of the town
and after the report of the gun was heard, and
he was found dead. 1t appears that he had pulled
off his left boot down, placed the muzzle of the
gun to his mouth, and pulled the trigger with his
great toe. The contents of the gun passed through
the back part of his head, shvering his skull and
scattering his brains in various directions about him.
A Coroner's Jury was summoned over his body,
who returned for their verdict Immediately that he
came to his death by his own hands.
We learn that at Meeting of the " Ringgold
Guards, " held on Saturday evening last, Sergeant
P. E. Hines was elected Captain uics Major General
Singeltary, promoted; End Lieutenant, J. A Stuart
