be twenty per cent, or one-fifth-a pretty niece
of operation" truly! Now, we have only to
multiply the representatives of this "credit"
and the accommodation capital is thus propor-
tionally augmented and the number of borrow
ers increased. Now, while the honest work
lngmen OF enterprise have always had SO much
difficulty in procuring bank accommodation,
suppose that, instead of working for others
chiefly, their saved earnings be collected, and
let this matter of hypothecaton of credit be ex-
tended to every ward in the city of Washing
ton; then get up the ward issues, and no de-
nomination Of paper issued need be numbered,
or the series noted for inquiring eyes, and the
imitation will then be perfect wards having a
market, to have a counter on wheels for mar
ket days. Instead of working, them the pen
and scissors could be put to work; then, as DR..
Franklin did not say, 'smoney will be in every
mans pocket" The theme is prolific one,
and will be opened up to Congress, with some
other "schemes J" and the reckless and the
artful may reach an abyss they little expect
Prices are being stimulated by the very infa-
ton of the currency; and labor is not likely to
cope with all sorts Of managers, without the
strong arm of law-public opinion-and the
interest the people ever had to stick to a metal
basis for all sums under laborer's weekly
earnings. ....... 49,,
There never was just reason why the paper

To The Editors Of the American Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: BY the National InteRgencer of
yesterday it appears that the recently char
tered O. Bank Of the Old Dominion" is to be To-
Gated in our neighboring city of Alexandria,
(Va.) The amount of the capital is believed to
be 5000, 900, of which it is represented that
Sl50,000 have already been taken.
New schemes of financial policy around us
beget few wholesome reflections. How is it
that the good old loyal and wise and honest
State of Virginia, who pays the interest upon
her debt with so much scrupulous honor, and
applies the revenue of her resources from inn
provement, not to repudiate but to meet all LA
bilities--we say, how is II that our banks were
resolved from the first not to receive her paper
at par? Was it because Of the small discount at
New York, or did it originate from species of
jealousy, or desire to share, or both! For

THE POTOMAC FISHERMAN.

d
DALLAD,--BY JOEL AUSTIN.
My Harry was a Fisherman
His cabin yet remains
Close by Potomac's quiet brink,
Where he would float his seines.
There never was better son
To parents old, than he;
Or lover truer to his love
Than Harry was to me!
There was path through wood and brake,
Which all the year he trod-., 81, @a
And much fear loved his step
More than the voice of God;
And God, to punish my neglect,
Removed the gem wore
The path that led to me is lost
4 For Harry comes no.morc!- rry -.m
One morn could not sew nor spin,
Nor calm my fears to rest,
knew that Harry was afioat--
And storms were in the West;
took my prayer-book, and sat
Beside the window pane,
And tried to pray, while fast without
Fell boding drops Of rain. .9
Potomac's usual placid tide
Grew instant black and wild,
Red lightning cleft the air, aud showed
How wave on wave was piled
At length, through all the storm, sail
My Harryis sail saw,
With not friendly hand to save,
Dash madly on the shore!
could not scream-through all my veins
My very life-blood froze-
Such agony as / felt then
No mortal being knows
My brain was crazed--for one long year
Twas sad to hear me rave
But ah! sadder thing to watch
Me weep DER Henry's gravel

The WORLDS FAIR,--In his last letter from
London Horace Grpeley saws.

The WORLDS FAIR.--In his last letter from
London, Horace Greeley says:
p. S.-The official catalogue of the Fair is
just issued 1t has been got up in great haste,
and must necessarily be imperfect, but it ex-
tends to $50 double-column octave pages ON
BREWER type, mot counting advertisements
and is sold for shilling, "a cents. Some con-
ception of the extent of the Fair may be OBJ
taihea irom the following hasty summary of u
Poruon OF the contents, showing the number Of
eAn,oitors IN certain departments, as classified
In the ofllcial catalogue, viz
GREAT BRITAIN.
Coal SLATE grindstone limestone, granite &c, (otsde
Mining and mineral products 0mside) 3s6
Chemical and Pharmaceutical products lo3
Substances used us food l33
Vegetable and animal substances used in manufac-
Machines for direct use, including carriages, rail
/ way and marine mechanism :. 339
| Manufacturing machines and tools 225
Civil engineering and building contrivances TIT
Naval architecture, guns weapons &c 26O
Agricultural and horticultural machines and inn
Philosophical, musical, Theological and surgical
instruments 535
Total, so far 1868
The foregoing occupy but So of the 800 pages
devoted expressly to the catalogue, SO that the
whole number of exhibitors cannot be less than
thousand; and as two articles from each would
be a low estimate, | think the number of distinct
articles already on exhibition cannot fall below
thirty thousand, counting all of any class which
may be entered by single exhibitor as one ar
ticle. Great Britain fills 1876 pages Of the cata-
logue; her colonies and foreign possessions 48
more; Austria 16; Belgium 8, China 2, Den
mark /, Egypt29, France and Algiers 35; Prus-
sia and the Zoll Verein States l9; Bavaria 2,
Saxony 5, Wirtemburg 2, Hesse, Nassau, and
Luxemborg 3, Greece |, Hamburg l, Holland 2, (
Portugal 81 Madeira /, Papal State J. Russia
5, Sardinia u, Spain 5, Sweden and Norway l,
Switzerland 5, Tunis p, Tuscany 2, United
States g. So the United States stands fifth on
the list of contributing countries, ranking next
after Great Britain herself, France, Austria, and
Prussian Germany, and far ahead of Holland
and Switzerland, which have long been held up
as triumphant examples of industrial progress
and thrift under free trade and these, with all
the countries which show more than we do, are
close at hand, while our country is on the aver
age more than four thousand miles off. | am
confirmed in my view that the cavils at the
meagreness of our contribution are not well
grounded.
