tizans have been shaping their nominations

Barnum's autobiography has been awarded
to the publishing house of Redfeld> & Co., for
ffty-six cents upon each copy to Barnum. He
preferred this to an offer of $4,000 (seventy-
FIVE thousand) for the copyright 1t is very
encouraging to American literature that the
Prince of Hunbugs should thus, upon demand,
secure splendid fortune for the history of his
career, including Joyce Heth, Tom Thumb, the
Buffaloes, the Greenland Whale, the Feejee
Mermaid, the Sea Tiger, Santa Annals wooden

Let nobody say that American genius is not
rewarded in America after this. Seventy-fve

The number of deaths by cholera last week in
this city was "a, out of total mortality from
all causes of 478. AS we have, perhaps, fifty
thousand more people in the city than in the
middle of August, when the weekly mortality
was hard upon l,lOO, and the deaths from
cholera over 800, this will give you some
idea of the improvement of the health of New
York since the decline of the epidemic and its
kindred diseases.
Grisi and Mario appear to-nightin the opera
OF Semiramide, (Semiramis,) first time here.
1t has been gotten up in magnificent style, the
scenery and the decorations, &c, being of the
most gorgeous description. A tremendous

nights, the distinguished artists return to Eu-
rope to fill an imperial engagement, it is said,
at Paris. Here they have been less successful
than Louisa Pyne and her English opera

But the difference between 81 and half dol
lar is something in these times.
Wall street is fat. Stocks down and still
downward. Sebastopol. Drain of money for
the war. Drain to meet our European debts.
Pull upon the banks. Banks tightening the
screws. Only $4,000 specie shipped last
steamer-oughtto havebeen amilion-could'nt
be raised. Money very tight. This operates
to keep down prices Of breadstuffs and proyi-
sions, which to consumers is an Offset Of some
Importance. But business is slack, and conf
dence is below par in financial operations.

will you say of him." replied Mr.. Dol, "who,
when he was going out Of the world, found no
comfort, but cried "My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me7' This prompt reply
administered consolation to the troubled spirit
Of his dying friend, who departed within an
hour after, rejoicing in the Lord.

TELEGRAPBIC FANCIEs.

1t is sometimes amusing to read the tele
graphic dispatches.
Those received on Monday night, flashing
"Four days later from Europe" by the Pacific,
state "There is absolutely no reliable news
from the seat Of war, the dispatches which
have been received are so conflicting"
Ever since the reported fall Of Sebastopol,
the accounts from Europe are received with
suspicion.
The very latest" by the Pacific; however,
informs us of the important truth that Lord
Raglan says that it is expected to open FIRE
in a few days" What or who is TO "open a
ere" is not stated probably both Of the oppo

lous or extraordinary.
We are assured, again, as if there was peril
nacious doubt of the fact that "Sebastopol
dispatches are exceedingly contradictory"
But; to crown all, the fall of that strongly
fortified city is expected about the 10th OF
October"

Turning to domestic affairs, the engrossine

anybody out Of New York to understand them |;

BILE results. My opinion is, that upon the sim.
pie issue Of the liquor question and his veto,
last year, Of the Maine liquor law, that Gov
ernor Seymour (softshelD will poll much
larger vote than Judge Bronson. There are
some men who are sanguine enough to sup
pose, with the Wing vote Of fifty or sixty thou.
sand which Ullman, Know.nothing, is expected
to carry off from Clark, that Seymour may be
elected but the people Of the interior of this
State are SO deeply saturated with the1eaven of
abolitionism, and there is, ALSO in the interior
such powerful vote in favor Of the Maine law,
that you need not be surprised if the Wing,
abolition, and temperance fusion ticket is sue
cessful by plurality Of many thousands over
either Bronson, Seymour, or Ullman. And /
take IL that the result in the election to Con-
gress will be such as to startle the South from
its slumbers. With the triumphant election of
Clark, we shall have w, III. Seward fairly in
