The new Eirtern Company formed for
building another C,t'on Mill at Camel
ton, will probably be ready to commence
building in about m,nth. They will erect
a splendid cd.fce The present Cannelton
Compapyhave by legislative enactment had
the privil ge gwen them Of extending their
Capital to Sl,ooo,U0o. Several charters
with less amount of Capital, granted several
years since, were renewed at the last session
of the Legislature. The effect of the recent
extension of manufacturing charters and the
crease ofCapital,upon real estate has been, in
not only TO enhance its value at least 100
per cent, but to throw a large amountlinto
market. The purchasers are principally of
the manufacturing Operatives, and Mechan-
les connected with the present Cotton Mil.
anu the numerous Coal mines which have
recently been opened. The "old mines''
have also received new impetus, in view. of
the substantial improvements recently pro-
jectei. An sindisputable evidence of the
effect Of the investment Of SO large an
amount of Capital in Manufacturing at
that point, is found in the fact, that many Of

OFFICE SEEKIsG.-That very pieus and
exemplary man, Senator Petit, of Indiana =
is sometimes rather more plain in bis speeeh
than Senators generally are For instance,
he was in favor of the Senate'8 .adjourning
last week from Friday to Monday, and gave
as bis reason that he had been "besought and
teased by those for whom he had great. res
pect to see the heads of Departments on their
account" He added that ne had promised to
do so."even if he had to take a mali and
beat down the doors," and he hoped he would
have the liberty to do so the next day..
Rettits case is not a singular one. Az
other Locofoco Senators are ..besought and
teased" By the hungry crew of office-seekers
now at thesest Of government. Each one
who is supposed to have any influence with
the menwho have it in their power to bestow
officers entreated.and importuned, ..besought
and leased" as Petta says he is: to use that
influence in behalf of fellows who ect pre-
ciseIy as If office was their only chance Of
salvation from absolute starvation
One o. the most pitiable Of Ill spectacles
is that which is now presented at the seat of
government. Crowds of robust men, who,
could easily make living by an honest appli-
cation of their muscles to useful pursuits, pre-
fer to hang about the President and the men,
bers OF IsCaslnet lmportunlng them to dis
place some of the Wing offceholders and to
put themselves in their places. The hocofo-
CO lust for Office is like that of the horse
leech for blood-it cannot be satisfied. So
powerful is-this lust for office, that men who
are in good business frequently give up that
business for the sake Of some petty Office in
which not much profit and but precious little
honor can be gained. A political blusterer,
chap who is willing to neglect his private
business in periods of excitement and to run
about the streets and alleys to promote the
interests of his party,is pretty sure TO come
out a hungry and clamorous petitioner or
Office. Ii Locofoco, his services are likely
to be appreciated, and he gets the Office, from
which in few years heis elected and theme
fortIris wretched and unhappy man, a mere
drone in the community in which he lives
Office-seekng is detestable business by
whomsoever itmay be practised How busy
the present administration are comforting the
spoils of victory on their friends may be infer
red from the longscatalogue of appointments
which are published in the solcmns Of the
Washington Union every morning.
