Indinnn Banks ana the Monetary
Mmnrn

The Indiana Sentinel, Of Friday last, says
that the Free Bank paper still continues TO
flow into the Office Of the Auditor of State,
for cancellation. Within the last two
months, upward OF eight hundred and City
thousand dollars has thus been drawn from
circulationll This deficiency in the cur.
rency will be severely felt, The State
Bank cannot GIL the vacuum for the extraor-
dinary demand for coin has rendered her
powerless to give any relief.
There can be no doubt but that the pub
lie mind is unnecessarily excited about the
Indiana currency. The issues OF the Free
Banks are secured on what are considered
good public stocks, and these securities if
not forced on the market in an untimely
manntr are unquestionably sufficient 10 re-
deem the issues with small loss to the pub
lie. A panic forces the issues and the Sc
curities on the market and the labor Of the
country suffers the loss. Those papers,
which are busy stirring up this monetary
excitement, should think Of the ultimate ef.
feet Of these excitements ere they launch
out upon their ll-considered crusade against
the banks.-.Sda Reg.

Reflections and Incidents.

The Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer
very sensbly remarks:
We hope, hereafter that the powers who
control the location Of State Fairs will bear
in mind that there are but four cities within
the State of Ohio capable of furnishing ac-
commodation for so large concourse of in
dviduals who are brought together upon
so nlolnentous an occasion. Cincinnati, Co.
luinbus, Cleve' and and Dayton can pro-
vide for the outsiders who may crowd upon
them. but such establishments as Newark,
are only calculated to test human endur-
ance, so far as anti accommodation in the
shape of eating, drinking and sleeping, is
concerned. Chillicollc has been named as
the location for next year. 1t won't dol
Depend upon it, Messrs. Managers, that
people won't travel severa, hundred miles
to see nothing more than they can behold
in shop windows Of Cincinnati, or see in our
crack stables. You must study the com
fort as well as the curiosity of your visitors
Upward of 10000 strangers are AT the
present time congregated within this little
town, and out Of that number not more
than one-thrd can find accommodation, in
tie shape of sleeping, in anything ahead of
hogpen.

National Cattle show.

We learn from Sring6eld that ample pro-
visions have been made for the great Ma
tiona Cattle Show at that place. 1t is un-
der the patronage of the United States Ag
ricultural Society, and large number Of
the principal stock dealers and raisers OF
the Union will be there.
The display of cattle at the State Fair is
said to have been superior to anything of
the kind ever before seen in the United
States. and it is confidently expected that
the exhibition, this week, will be much su.
peror to that. A large attendance is con-
fdenily expected, and we are sure the at
traction will be OF kind to be worthy of it.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
The news Of The fall Of Sebstopo, the
destruction Of the Russian feet, the explos-
ion Of Fort Constantine, and the surrender
OF fMencikoH, is all false. Omer pascha's
dispatch is forgery. The allies were in
yesting Sebastopol at the dates Of the latest
accounts received An official extra gaz.

to march without delay upon Sabastopol
A number Of vessels are at Balaklava, dis

It is stated thet Menchikoffis in the 6eld
with 10000 men, and expecting reinforce

The French Ambassador at Vienna tele-
grsphed to the. Minister Of Foreign Affairs
on the 4tb. stating that the report of the
battle Of Alma was exaggerated. The Aus
trisu Consul at Odessa telegraphed that
the struggle recommended on the 25th,
and continued when the courier left.
On the 9th, the allies were ten miles
from Sebastopol. On the same day, Omer
Pasha issued orders for part of the army
20 be ready for embarkation for the Crimes.
Austria intimates that she will consider
the Czar's prolonged refusal Of the four con-
ditions a edsus 5elH.
The latest intelligence received at Liver
pool states that the Allies occupied Baia-
klava, and we're in communication with the
feet and commanded the approaches to
Sebas.opol. It is doubtfully rumored that
the second line Of defence had been car
ried.
Mr. Muse. the British Consul for New
Orleans, arrived in the Africa. The steam

Lord Burghers, bearer Of dispatches to the
English Government. Sebastopol was in

of the battle of Alma.
The Moniter announces that the Allies
had made Balakava considerable of place.
The armies communicate with the fleets
safely.
Menchkoff has been driven to distance
with the wreck of his army. Generals Os-
ten Sacken and Luders have entered the
Crimea with forty ba.talions.
At the battle Of Alma, 1000 prisoners
were taken. The Russians are shut up in
Sebassopol, which will be attacked by sea
and land.

Collision.

Quite serious accident occurred at Olms.
te sd Falls station on Wednesday morning, last.
The morni ng train on the G. g. II. road for
Toledo, left Cleveland with heavily loaded
train; a locomotive OF the C. C. & G. road was
attached forward to assist in drawing the cars
TO Grafton. Before reaching Olmstesd Falls,
the Engine Of the G c. g. C. locomotive de-
tached his ma chine and running some rods
ahead stopped on the track, instead Of switching
of, the other locomotive soon came up and ran
into il, injuring more or less every car. None
Of the passengers were hurt. The Engineer or
Fireman on the G. g. T. locomotive had both
his legs broken above his knees. The reason
given, is that the NOR ming was dark and
the fog so de nee the forward locomotive could
not be seen in time 10 avoid the collision. We
think the re was the grossest recklessnes mani

The acting Commissioner on the Musking-

Treasury have been protested on the ground
that all the appropriation made for that
work was drawn during the first and second
quarter Of the year. Nine thousand dol
lars were appropriated by the Legislature
and it is gone. The beauty of keeping
back the expenditure of last fall. and throw
ing it upon this year is now becomeing ap-
parent. The Board wanted TO make good
showing so they kept back the last quarter.

New York Politics +.

"Otsego," the well known correspondent
of Cleveland Herald, writing from Coopers-
town, the 10Th inst, gives his views of New
York politics. They are substantially the
same as we gather them from other sour
ces:
"ln this State, politicians are good deal
mired, but as regards the Nebraska swindle
and the Administration, the whole people
are on one side and post-masters, tide. wait.
ers and other officials on the other. We
have nine separate and distinct nominations
for State officers and at the head Of five
hereof is the name of Myron II. Clark and
he will be our next Governor.
Although we have nine distinct State
tickets the contest for State officers, has re-
solved itself into three principal divisions. -
Bronson. the Hardshell represents those
who are 10 favor of good liquor; Seymour
the Sofishell. those in favor of bad liquor
and Clark, Whig, those who are for no ig-
uor at all. repeat that there is, at pres
ent no doubt of Ciark's election but the re-
suit will be no indication whatever Of the
pervacing and overwhelming antagonism to
the Nebraska swindle In this county, for
instance the Hop growers have received
over 100000 for their crop the present
year: and this large pecuniary interest is op-
posed to the MAINE Law" and although
opposed to a man TO the Nebraska iniquity
these Hop'growers will go en- masse for
Seymour. But then again there are tens
of thousands throughout the State, who in
view of rdding themselves Of three e-fourihs
of their present burden Of taxation, will
vote for Clark and no LIQUOR AT ALL; and
thus do way with legalized tipling and
drunkenness and the pauperism and crime
and the enormous expenses thereof. This
rum question will also effect somewhat our
Congressional delegation, but you may re-
ply upon an Anli-Nebraska delegation with
only two OF three exceptions.

Uertiser of last evening devoted column to
an exposition Of the advantages 10 be antic-
pa,ed from the construction Of transAtlan.
tic line Of telegraph between the American
and The Irish coast, distance Of nearly O.
900 miles. and assumes that the practica.
bility Of such work is fully established by
opinions Of DIR. Dyonisius Lardner. and
Lieut.. Maury. Such work was deemed
practicable some months since, and com.
many was organized in this city of which Pc
ter Cooper is President. to carry it into op.
GRAFTON. They had progressed SO far as TO
lay down a portion OF the line across Prince
Edwards Island. and to send agents to Eu-
rope to make purchases of the submarine
cable when 1t was discovered that it was
impossible to construct battery that would
serve line OF more than five or six hun.
dred miles in length.
We are not advised of what the precise
difficulty was, but it was Of an insurmount-
able character, and hence the negotiations
entered into by Mr.. Schafner the agent Of
the Company. with the respective govern
ments for right to lay wires from the
coast Of Norway. BY way of Fare Islands
Iceland 10 tho coast Of Labrador. by which
they escape the necessity Of using any ca.
bic Of more than I'VE hundred miles uninter-
rupted length. This will greatly increase
the aggregate length Of the cable and the
cost Of constructing il, but we presume
that the Company will not be discouraged
by that circumstance from prosecuting al
enterprise the importance Of which. 10 its
consequences, cannot be exaggerated.
