The Task If Putting Down George Smith 4 ca.
The N. Y. Herald of the 1lth makes tho
following statement, showing the proeres 4
which has been made by the combination in
their efforts to break down George Smith
and Co.: .--...,. .....,..,-
A correspondent of the Times in this CITY,
claiming to be a stakeholder in the Galena
and Chicago Railroad Company, feels exer-
cised in his mind in regard to the safety Of
the enormous deposits of that Company. He
says the receipts are +" averaging from 5000
to $4,000 day." and that the deposits are
made with George Smith & Co., Brokers. at
Chicago. "This Mr.. George Smith," he
says, is the welLknown wildcat banker.n
We would state for the information of par
ties interested, that the account of the Ga
lena Company kept with George Smith &
Co., is comparatively trifling. The bulk of
its account is with the American Exchange
Bank of this city-the Cashier of which in
stitution, by the way, is responsible for all
transfers OF stock. In regard to the few
thousand dollars which are deposited over
night with sGeorge Smith 4 Co., Brokers.
Chicago" we do not for ourselves considerit
extra hazardous. A country banker who is
able IN these tight times 10 keep on deposit
with his bankers in this city balance of
100000 to 100000 is not likely to fail
very soon, even though his rival bankers Of
Chicago (of whom the Times CORRESPONDENCE
is unquestiOnably one, should increase their
run upon him to a much larger extent. To
aoor George smith it is thought necessary,
IN the first place, to exhaust Messrs. Stra.
;han q Scott OF this city, his hackers, who
ire even more wealthy than he and in the
'nird place, to exhaust q bank in Scotland
~hich backs both, and is ten times stronger
nan the two put together. In our Judgment
ne attempt is simply ridiculous. '2ais

BUSINESS PRospEcTs OF GALENA. - The
Advertiser of Wednesday says:
Last spring we heard great many omin-
Gus prophesies about Galena-about our loss
of business and waning prospects generally.
Some of the people who said these things
were well meaning but skittish on others
it were waite of feeling to bestow charity.
Well, our active business season is drawing
to close, and every one of these ill-omened
prophesies have failed. Every croak has
fallen dead; every lie has gone home to
roost. In the amount of business trans
acted, no year heretofore will hardly bear
comparison with this. Every energy, in
almost every department, has been taxed to
its utmost, and by many the close of navi-
CATION will be a welcome sign of relief In
point of improvement in the erection of new
buildings, the present year has far exceeded
any other previous, though in this respect
the increased supply has not been one-fourth
equal to the demand: This year has settled
the fact which tie have never doubted, that
Galena is, and is to be ever hereafter, a large
commercial town.

The ADMINISTRATION VIEW OF REEDER's
ELEcrION.-Uur readers, have, doubtless,
some curiosity concerning the course which
the Administration at Washington will take
in regard to the late election of delegate i'm
Kansas. The Washington Union has given
a sufficiently clear ntimation of what it will
be. a- 1E
There are two persons claiming the seat of
delegate from kansas--Whittield, the can
didate of those who are for establishing
Slavery in the Territory, and Reeder the
candidate of those who desire to make it a
free State. Whitfield has on his side the
forms of an election, Reeder the substance.
Whitfield was appointed by the Missourians,
at an election held under an ordinance of the
mock legislature assembled at the Shawnee
Mission. Reeder was chosen by the people
of Kansas, at an election instituted by them
selves. Whitfield is a pet of Shannon, the
man sent out by President Pierce to govern
Kansas. Shannon recognized the spurious
legislature and all its ordinances, attended
the election held under them, voted for
Whitfield, and to crown the farce, gave him
formal certificate that he had been duly
chosen as delegate to represent the Terri
tory. Tie Administration of course is pre-
pared to second the doings of its creature,
Shannon, and accordingly its organ, the
Washington Union, presents an argument in
favor of the admission of Whitfield, and
against the admission of Reeder-Nw York
Ere. Post.

FOREIGN LEEcHEs-A YANKEE HIr.-An
individual entered an apothecary shop at the
North End, yesterday, and asked tie pre-
prietor if he had any tickets to Rachers

1--WE had no tickets for Madame Racheps
performances, sir" was the reply.
"Isn't this one of Mons. Felix's ticket
Offices, then?"
"By no MEANS"
"Well, then, you may as well take that
sign out of your window. -,
"What sign? asked the apothecary, who
began to think his visitor was getting i'm
pertinct. -
"Why, this sign, to be sure" said the
wag, tapping with his cane sign on which
was inscribed in large letters, "Foreign

VoTE FOR REEDER AND WHIrrIELp-The
Herald of Freedom puts down the total vote
for Reeder at the late election at 1854, and
that for Whitfield at 2,462 That paper is
confident that there are not less than $500
Free State voters in that Territory, and
adds:
I" By examing the above returns it will be-
observed that the principal vote of tie pro-
slavery party is polled at ten precincts, all
of which places, save Leavenworth, are
sparsely settled. Those ten districts poll
1857 votes, two-thirds of the entire pro
slavery strength. If this vote were thor
oughly purged-as it will be before Con-
grcssional committee-it would be found
that less than LOCO votes of actual residents
Of Kansas were polled for Whitfelds

PAssMoRE WILLIAMsoN.-The Pittsburp
journal suggests that Passmore Williamson
f" purged himself of contempt" by making
substantially the same answers to the ques-
tons propounded by the Court, t at caused
his Imprisonment. He said that the reason
he did not obey the writ by bringing
the said persons therein mentioned before
the Court, was, that they were not at the
time in custody. The Journal adds: "Judce
Kane took especial care not to ask the pris
oner whether the persons named in the writ
had ever been in his possession; and he
therefore was not bound to answer it. Had
the question been asked, the answer would
have been the same as in the return which
would have increased the embarrassment of
the Judge. 1t has been seen that when tie
District Attorney attempted to bring it out
by propoundirg the question about mental
reservations the judge promptly sileneed

lie attention has been directed to the other
route proposed, via. Greenland, Iceland and

Government Of Denmark, to land cables on
the shores Of its dependencies, and, the Phil

the countries above named. Such an expe-
dition would be profitable to our Navy even
if no telegraph cables were laid.
