that The powerful letter Of Mr. Marcy, in reply 10 the de-

Europe about the time that the crisis is on hand; and it
is to be what impression that document may make

left felt smothering sensation at nv
heart, and it seemed to me as if my life must
stop. But that one minute seemed to me an
hour. Before it had expired, every moment of
my existence rushed through my memory. and
the awful responsibility of time, and the ap-
gregate Of pain and despair, and agony that
was felt by the hundreds who were dyino at
that moment, and the guilt that was fostering
in the darkness the hearts of those who NAV
not sleep, and, over all, my own thoughtless
and unreasonable prodigality of time, and
health and opportunity, crowded into my soul,
as if its capacity were equal to the concentrate
ed anguish of a demon. The machinery at
last began to stir. 1t seemed to me as if ev-
cry vein in my body was an icy worm. NV
nerves stretched to an intenser pitch-large
drops of sweat rolled from my forehead, and
my heart stopped-almost 1t struck, and |

The Dollar Side.

A correspondent to the New York Times.
the ''almighty dolar,' made the following
pertinent remarks
It is one on which every question may be
viewed and in its spirit of greedy q ain and
crime, and wanton sacrifice Of life may be ac-
counted for. Another dollar to the dividends.
and it matters not if the rail be single, the en-
gineer ill-paid, and consequently incompetent
the number Of watchmen limited, the sig
nails imperfect, the danger hid by sharp
curve, and destruction yawning before the lv-
ing freight More dollars in the cash box :
and piled up in the resinous wood-the boats
race for the landing-fire or blown up. What
matters human life in the scale against quar-
terly returns. More dollars still What
matters want of accommodation Crowd an
other hundred off the Isthmus into the reeIl-
ing hold Time is dollars Make quick
trips-hug tlIe shore-in closer to the sunken
rocks. Ha! shocll-a shriek-two hundred
souls have perished. What matter the ship
is insured-the money box is safe shares
don't fall. Save the dollar, employ no sur
geons-they take cabin room and require sal
aries. Cheaper 10 bury the victims Of shiT
fever-they are only emigrants, and if they
die at sea, why the less head money to pay
Save the dollar Abolish school tax. True
prisons are more expensive then sustain the
schools. Make the dollars Rum-shops and
gambling tables are profitable What matter
youth depraved, virtue lost, vice triumphant,
men besotted, women suflerings, the midnight
murder and the gallows tree.
Thus through the dollar medium are these
things viewed by men whose moral sense is
blinded by one sordid object
Mighty dollar, bloody Molock that thou art
when shall thy influence for good be as wide
as thy agency for evil! Then, and not till
then, may be found on the dollar side
