FAILURE OF JAooB LITTLE s. Co.-Thc New
York Express, of The 23d instant, says:
"Wall street was astounded this morning by the
failure of the well-known and hitherto powerful
house of Jacob Little s. Co. AS Bear and Bull
sway in Wall street that at times carried all before
il; and its attack upon stock, or it's defence of
one, made unmade a fortune.
"To the astoni5hment, however, of almost every
body, it's failure was announced this morning in
all Its stock contracts-and the house, after surviv
ing wind and storm hitherto, has at last gone by
the board.
"The failure of the house is, as we have remark
ed in it's stock contraots but in its commercial pa
per il hopes to meet its obligations, and it believes
that il will.
'The first blow of the house, however, was in
Delaware and Hudson canal stock, in which it was
ga bull' This stock the housc held at the cost Of
140j or upwards, and it s now 107-and the stock
1t held at thisloss in very large amounts. II hae
made desperate efforts TO keep up the prices, but
the stock has been steadily going down
"The latter losses of the house have been in Eric
Railroad, Norwich and Worcester, and other stocks,
in all of which il has been great bear To meet
the rise in the stocks latcry, the house has been
making desperate efforts; but TO the losses on
Hudson and Canal, and on their stocks combined
il had not the means, and to day gave way under
the pressure.
s'The brokers in Wall street, and others, have
probably been startled by this failure than
they would have been by any other in the street.
Stocks all huttered under it for while, and then
Jumped up
alt will be seen therefore that il is not calculated
to have any effect upon the money market beyond
showing the prevailing belief that the money mar
ket is TO be easier"

aA3-Our opponents are boasting the late elec-
tions in Alabama and Tennessee. The latter State
has elected whg governor Legislature, and probably
gained member or two to Congress We regret the
result not having settled any question far the
compromise is concerned but because it invitation
to free soiism to continue its aggressons Southern
rights 1t is re-establishment of the whg party in
Tennessee under the control of who yotedwith
the aboonists in Congress. Fer this reason we re-
gret the result.
In Alabama the result is most singular. The issue
as made in our own State has been presented in but
one Congressional district in Alabama The Mont
gomerv district was ultra-he Huntsville district re-
presented by Cobb and Clemens acquiescent by a
coalition of Cobb's and Clemens friends-Houston
defeated Hubbard on issue of landvotes
Harris beat Mudd, and White ran his opponent too
strong the pols and the Tuscaloosa district has de-
cided that the Union stronger than slavery and that
federal authority is omnpotent than the rights OF
the people, and that coercion is practical question
In the Mobile district the issue fairly made up
and presented on the compromise queston-that was
the ISSUE and the advocate had not only all the apph
which official dignity gives but he exercised the
influence of his position to aid his election. The pat
ronage of the city and general government was nvok
ed, no dou5t to aid the compromise canddate-but il
all fell before honest and fearless people. Abol
tionsm North and South stands rebuked and the city
of Mobile the third in commercial Importance in the
South, will be represented at Washington by true
Southern Rights man-Bragg's majority will probably
be 1000.

Es The following from the Louisville Journal
is noteworthy, for it is but very lately that paper
stated that bets were offered, giving the States
Rights party 10000 votes, and that no one could
be found foolish enough to take them. Such prop
ositions have never been made in this State, we
know.
Last week we published from the Mississppian
an even wager of from 200 to S 5000 that
Quitman beats Foote. We should like s 900
hung up the same way.
MIssIssIPPI-Th Louisville Journal of the 23d
says with regret that recent intelligence from Mis-
sissippi is less favorable now than it was few
weeks ago. Our information now is that those
Mississippi Democrats who but recently supported
the Uniou candidates have apostatised and are
giving then support to Quitman and the rest of
the traitor candidates small remnant of the
Mississippi Democrats are still for Foote and the
Union, but full nine tenths of the Democracy of
that State are fighting in favor of Quitman and
under his rebel flag. This renders the result of
the conflict doubtful, but we sincerely trust that
the Unionists will win the victory The success of
Quitman and his accomplices, although they have,

Dragging,

One Of our cotemporaries last week in half bragg
ing mood ntmated that he had received the names of
80 subscribers in letter from of the Western
counties. We truly glad to hear of the of
neighbors-it is encouraging ting, and such
we make free mention little fact for the benefit of
our cotemporaries. The Standard was established a
little than six months ago. In this community
il had but few friends at the outset25 or 80 would in
all probability cover the whole number of active men
friendly to its At the end of four weeks its
subscription did not exceed hundred exclusive of the
names Of those sent in from Monroe county This
looked like "dull chance, and the prospect was in
deed, peculiarly gloomy But our motto is, push on
never look behind the Past is gone, andt is with the
Future must grapple Hours, days, weeks, months
rolled on and with them evidences that the peo-
pie of the Country with subscription list
increased daily. At every turn were met with ex-
pressons like these Why, sir was told that the
Standard was to be Disunion paper but see you ad-
vocate Union doctrines, and want your paper TWAS
this sort of lop lying SANDER propogated in this city
that we have encountered and overcome. 1t is now
reacting with powerful effect, andwe receiving
reward for patience and industry At this time it
is believed that the subscription of the Standard is
equal to both the other papers published in this city
peHeVeQ 10 Oe lHree tunes large as the Repub
hcan. and falls but little short probably of doubling
the weekly circulation of the Democrat.
Our county circulation is believed to be proportions
ably larger than either of our contemporaries, and
town circulation falls but little below either of them
1t is evident then, if we are correct and we challenqt
investigation. that the Standard reflects the opinion o
the planters and tllers of the soil If this is true it
evident that the Planting and Mercantile interests are
antagoniscal, for the Mercantile interest appears tc
be best subseryed by keeping up and fostering Northern
interests and Northern Politics. Northern trade and
Southern Slaves in the balance, and the very men
who making fortunes off of the labor of slaves are
aiding the Northern politicians in their efforts to cir
cumscrbe the institution, and thus render abolition in
evitable But this is a subject we shall discuss here
after We simply intended to say, that the STANDARD
has larger general circulation than any paper
published in this city-it has larger list than the
Democrat ever had and yet that paper is more than
three times as many gears the Standard is months
old
II there are any gentlemen disposed to think we are
Dragging, all they have to do satisfy themselves is
to notify us of the fact and will submit our book tc
four gentlemen selected by the Democrat and the Re
publican, under pledge to publish the result.
