Mr.. EDlroR:-In my last number an
attempt was made to refute the doctrines
and arguments advanced by ''Ohio," in
support OF the proposition, "that our banks
of circulation, as at present constituted, are
the bane and the destruction Of our manu-
factures." 1t will be recollected that the
substance of his entire argument was, that
a paper circulation raised the price of
wages and materials in this country so
high, that the manufacturer could not com.
pete with the European. who got his labor
and materials at hard money prices; and
that il was quite essential to our interests.
asa nation, that our manufactures should
flourish-should be enabled to compete
with the hard-money countries OF Europe.
Ia this argument. the gentleman was quite
consistent with the doctrines OF all his
former numbers; but in number 6 mys.
terious change seems TO have come over
his vision. He says, .'in truth he is neither
in favor Of high nor low prices'- neither
the one, nor the tuther. And what he is in
favor Of, just at this point. he don't stop to
tell us; but he does inform US, that in his
last number, The endeavored TO show, that
in the sickly and languishing condition Of
our manufactures we pay the penalty OF our
commercial errors in establishing cur
rency too aoeak and diluted in comparison
with that Of the commercial world" This
extraordinary quotation although equivo-
cal is ingeniously penned. and may be
easily interpreted to suit the OCCASION
When made to harmonize with the hard
money sentiments OF his former numbers.

introduced and used in connection witt

The Late Storm on the Ohio.

we have heard OF great many Incl
dents, and narrow escapes OF boatmen
exposed 10 the horrors OF the storm which
swept over the Ohio last Sunday night.
One of the most daring feats was perform
ed by two of the crew of pair Of coal
boats belonging to MIR. Leslie, of Pitts
burgh. The boats started for New Or
leans Saturday evening, from Jefferson
Vile, in charge Of Montgomery, and Stur
gs, pilots; and on the next night the head
pilot, while the storm was brewing. deter
mined 10 tie the boats up. Their small
boat, or skiff, had become useless, and in
the meantime the storm broke upon them
in all its fury, and the pilot told his crew
that the only chance for safety was to get
line ashore. At this the second pilot.
L. Sturgis, and one of the crew, green
hand from the Indians, but willing and
daring soul. jumped into the river with
line, and succeeded in swimming 10 the
shore, and made it fast to a tree, thus
landing and saving the boats.
Soon after the performance Of this feat
coal boat belonging to Kirk Lewis, one
Of the pair piloted by Miller. came down
the river and struck against one OF the
boats of Montgomery, that had thus been
landed, and sunk it. The annexed para.

The boats were in sinking condition,

his return, but they became frightened,
and all jumped into the skiff and sunk ii:

TEE DYING WIFE.
BY PAILA EARLE.

You'll think of me sometimes, beloved,
When am gone from sight!
When you can see me nevermore,
You'll not forget me quite?
You'll miss sometimes, at twilight hour,
My low and lrving tone;
Your heart will sometimes feel pang,
When beating all alone.
You'll think of days forever gone,
And grief may wiring tear
From eyes that have but seldom wept,
But shall not be here;
You'll come and go; and yet the smile
That once your fond eyes met,
WIN faded be-forever fled,
But oh, do not forget!
When cold and Iifeless is the form
That's nestled on thy breast.
When chill and marble like the lips
Tha, once thine own have pressed,
Oh. sometime think of me, and come
Unto the quiet spot
Where I shall slumber lone aud still,
But oh! not quite forgot!
You'll think OF me when sitting side
My lone and vacant chair;
And sometimes, love, oh! gaze upon
This golden tress of hair!
And think that with its sister curls
1t f1oated Ger the brow
Tha, rests within the lowly grave,
So damp and pallid now.
But yet yonr grief will pass away
Like dusky shades Of night;
The cypress wreath you'll change, beloved
For one with flowers white;
You'll fondly love another one,
And call her thine-but yet
Your lost young bride-your first beloved,
Oh. do not quite forget!
And she, thy chosen one. may bring
A heart OF love TO thee.
But not more loving. true. than mine,
knoC il cannot be.
But mine must throbless, pnlseless be,
It's warm outgushipgs still.
But you will sometimes think of her,
Who rests so pale and chill.
Oh! sometimes fancy that my arms
Are fondiy round thee twined.
And that my cheek, once warm and fair,
Is closely pressed to thine.
When l am gone, forever gone,
I'd be remembered yet,
Oh! think of me sometimes, beloved,
And necer quite forget!
