MONEY MArTERs.-Gentlemen from the East in
form us that the money atmosphere is foggy.-
Brokers, bankers, merchants, and laboring men
are Aoundering in doubt. The bills of the Indi-
ana banks are generally dscredited, although sew
eral merchants at Chicago advertise to receive
them at par for goods, and the brokers shave them
at from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. Several
of the banks talk of refusing them at any price,
still we think the bills of most of the Indiana
banks are good, but it will take some time before
they will be redeemed. The best way is to keep
easy, and wait patiently the turn matters may
take. We shall soon have advices, as gentlemen
from veral of our Western cities have gone to
Indiana to inquire into matters, and if the money
is bad, we shall hear of it. In the meantime keep

PRIZE FIGHTING.

Of all the brutalizng, debasing and demora!-
izing practices of the present age, that of prize
fighting is eminent. Go where you will-do
what you may, nothing can compare with it =;
nothing is sufficiently low to enable us to even form
a comparison. We abhor tive despise tive
will ever Condemn it, as not only deeterious in its
results, but as pernicious to the of freedom
and to the cause Of civilization.
Imagine the scene. Two intelligent beings,
formed in the image of their Creator, deliberate
ly 60 to work to pummel each other, not to graft
fly spirit of retaliation, but to see how far ma
ture can be outraged-how far the beast faculty
man-how far intelligent beings can degrade
themselves in the scale of brutality. Beings,
1--WE wont call them men) who indulge in these
disgusting scenes, are far below the beasts Of the
fields, because the animals know no better, and
their natural propensiies incline them to destroy
each other; but for intelligent creatures, those
who call themselves men, for such to enter the
and tear out each others eyes, is one of the
most heathenish acts of modern times.
The recent fight at St. Louis (if the report is
true) furnishes us with an illustration. Here
Hyer and McGowin, both backed by persons lay
ing claims to respectability, commenced their war
of isty- in the presence it is true, of only
few persons, but those persons stood by and ap-
plaud the act. Blow after blow was given, until a
foul blow dealt; (our readers Will excuse US for
not knowing what this means) when tn, interest
lug scene was brought to close. The $4,000 was
probably paid over into the hands of him who
exhibited the most skill in beating his fellow man,
and all this occurred among civilized men -
We drop the curtain fully impressed that Our
readers would prefer to direct their attention to
other less revolving themes.

Important from Havana.

By a private letter from New York, we have
further details relative to the assassination of
Gastinedo, in Havana. This man was the be-
traver of Lopez. He was killed while PLAYING
billiards, and the assassin escaped.
There were no followers at the funeral except
the civil guards, and they were attacked by a
mob, and desperate fight ensued in which sew
eral were killed and wounded. 1t seems that the
populace were irritated at the display made by
the Government, and hooted at and insulted the
escort to such an extent that they turned upon
the people. Large bodies of troops were ordered
out, and the guards at the gates doubled, as q
general outbreak was feared. The excitement
in Hayans was intense. This Is the second
popular outbreak within few months, and is
regarded as proof of growing discomfort against
the Government. Several attempts upon Gasti-
nedo's life had been made bofore.-Mtl,caukee

The RAlLRoAD.-The Galena Jeffersonian,
speaking of the extension of the Illinois Central
Railroad from Galena to Dubuque, incidentally
remarks:
This is as dead-as- adoor- nail project it was ex-
ploded when the Minnesota Land Fraud was
brought to light, and it will never be heard of
more. When road is built from the Mississippi,
North West to the Great Bend of the Minnesota,
it will take its departure from Tete des Mort, and
will he built by private enterprise and without
government aid, which, for the benefit of all such
works will be hereafter denied. 1t is cruel in us,
perhaps, to take the wind out of the sails of our
gassy neighbors across the river; but proper
regard for facts, demands it.

LIFE AFTER FREEzING.-It is said that the sci
entifc men of France are at present specializing
on a recent instance of young man brought to
life after being frozen eleven months on the Alps
The blood of living man was infused into the
veins of the frozen youth, and be moved and
spoke. The experiment was afterwards tried on
a hare, frozen for the pupose, with complete sue
cess. 1t has been the practice of the Hospice Of
St. Bernard, for the monks to keep the frozen
bodies Of unknown travellers for months, that
they might be recognized, and in Norway, accord
ing to a recent work on that conntry,, published
in England by Prof. James D. Forbes, the people
in some Of the valleys, during long weary winters,
keep the bodies of the deceased persons in a fro
zen state till spring, when they are borne to the
church for the last time but this is the first in
stance on record Of resuscitation after death was
some time apparent.-N. Y. Mirror.

RIGHT.-Since the loss of the Arctic, attention
has been called to the greater safety of passen-
gers who travel in the ocean steamers. The New
York Express says that the Cunard steamers have
ordered and taken out large bells, which will be
rung in the fogs, and that the steam whistle will
be freely used in the Collins line in all their ves-
sells hereafter. 1t is singular that these things
arc not thought of until hundreds of beings
have been rushed into eternity. But SIT is better
late than neyer.''

ARREST OF JUDGE KNowLroN.-The Unite
States Deputy Marshal arrived here yesterday,
having in custody Judge Knowlton, Of the Cir
cult Court. Judge f., is arrested at the instance
of Hon. Caleb Gushing. The difficulty, we un-
derstand, grows out of an injunction granted by
Judge Knowlton in the suit of Cushing VS. Hung
erford. The Judge is brought before the United
States District Court, where he will be held to
bail for trial at the next term Of the Court
Nil. NeDs.
So far as appears, the act for which the Judge
is arrested, seems to have been done in the regu-
lar discharge of his duties. If this be so it
strikes US as most unwarranted proceeding on
the part of the Federal Court, and one which the
People will have to look into.-MilpauEee Sem

GY' We heard statement yesterday which
seems worthy of attention. A gentleman of this

manner of his escape from the wreck of the Arc

intend to let them upper tello,cs get the start of

board that sinking ship.-N. Y. Tribune.

RErRoGREssIoN OF SLAVERY IN MARYLAND.-An

RETRoGREssIoN OF SLAVERY IN MARYLAND.-An
exchange says that in l7l9, the white population
of Maryland was computed to be $1,000, and the
black $4,000, or third of the whole. 1t ap-
pears by the last United States census, that the
white population of the same State was, in 1850,
$4,000 and that of the Slaves $4,000. Thus, in
135 years, freemen have increased more than ten
fold, whilst slavery, instead of being third, has
diminished from 33 l-3 down to about per cent.
of the entire population.

DIscRAcErrL.-The recent outrage ON a Catho-

citizens of Ellsworth, and lasting disgrace to

seems that the outrage was committed because
the Priest had dared to utter his views concern
ing the public schools. Such oatrsges will never
be tolerated by the intelligent portion of the
American people, and they never ought to be.

WORCESTER, Oct. 30.

Asa Butman, the kidnapper of Anthony Burns,
was discovered at the American House, and was
Immediately posted throughout the city. In the
evening vigilance committee Of citizens watched
Buman's movements. He threatened to use a
pistol at the crowd; a warrant was issued, and
he was arrested. His examination was postponed
and he was compelled to give bonds to appear
and answer. 1t became evident that Mr.. But
mans life was in danger. A large and excited
crowd having assembled, some one prevailed on
the crowd to let the kidnapper 60, and he was
followed to the depot, when the colored popula-
ton fell upon him, and he would have been kill
led, but was rescued, AMI got into carriage and
escaped.

CO We are glad that some Southern men are
coming to their senses. The Charleston Evening
News contains the following
s'Thcre never was a completer or a more dis
astrous miscarriage than the Nebraska bill. It
HIS not only blasted every expectation that was
originally formed of it but it has proved to its
authors positive and unmitigated curse. In
stead Of strengthening the harmony of the county,
it has given rise to thc in.ensest resentment and
discord. Instead of giving effect and confirmation
to the compromise Of 1850, it has blasted the
same into nothingness. Instead of securing two
additional slave States to the Union, it has Sc
cured two additional free States. And instead
of putting end to the Free Soil doctrine, it has
given that doctrine power and respectabilty
which it never possessed before, ana which We
believe, it could never have attained through any
other medium than that opened by this bill. We
do not speak of this in exultation. Most certainly
not. There is much in the present aspect Of
things that We dcpore-much that We did our ut
most to prevent, by doing our utmost against tho
passage of the bill. But the responsibility is not
with us-our duty has been thoroughly discharg
cd. Able to do nothing more, we can ftly turn
the battle over to our former opponents Of the
Virginia school, and withal, enjoy smile or two
at the sight of their obstrepcrous vowings before
all the stars Of high heaven they'll ne'er submit,
vet all the while submitting.

SPEECH OF FREDERICK DoUGLAs.-Fred. Doug
las, the colored orator, addressed an immense
crowd at the Metropolitan Hall, Chicago, on the
evening of the Both of October. Fifteen hundred
persons were said to be present. The speech is a
long and able one, and shows what the colcred
can do with proper cultivation. The Tri-
bunc thus alludes to it:
s'The speech, as will be seen by our report,
was a most splendid effort, and was received with
the greatest enthusiasm. At times the applause
was unremitting for several moments, and at
other times the deep silence which pervaded the
immense multitude, their fixed countenances, and
dewy eyes, clearly evinced how deeply they felt
what the speaker was uttering. AS an instance
of the effect produced by the speech, we may
mention, that at its close, gentleman from Ken
tucky came forward, grasped Mr.. Douglas by the
hand, and with tears in his eyes and a voice
broken by his emotion, told him that although
he, (the Kentuckian) was Southern man and of
Southern principles, he could not resist the con-
viction of the truth of Mr.. Douglass remarks,
and that he had conquered him.
