American Conference.

The approaching session of Congress is be-
ginning to attract a good deal of attention
throughout the country. As preparatory TO
il, two of the American members of Congress
from New York have published in the AB'eri-
can Organ the following call:
New York, Nov. !, 1858.
70 t.s Editors Of DE organ:
GEwrLTmES: As is now clearly known that the
American Representatives 20 the coming Congress
will constitute large plurality in the House, il is
eminently desirable that a conference be had prior
20 the commencement Of the session.
In this view, the undersigned solicit the privilege
Of inviting. through the medium of your columns,
the several members Of Congress who have been
chosen as the Representatives Of the American
policy 20 meet for conference at the Hall OF Rep
resentatlyes, on Thursday the Goth day OF Novem.
Der next, at the hour Ct noon.
By giving this invitation in your wde-circulaied
columns, you will confer a favor on
Your very obedient servants,
THOMAS X. WHITNEY,
Fifth New ork District
BAYARD CLARK,
Ninth New York District
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Express, writing under date of the sth
inst., says this call is regarded rs premature,
since a large number of the American mem
beers will not be in Washington on that day,
nor for several days thereafter. Congress does
not meet until the 80 Of December, and as il
Is contrary TO precedent to hold caucus 80
long in advance Of the meeting Of that body,
she hope is expressed that il will be postponed
70 later day, and thus enable all the Ameri-
AZ members 10 be present

OFFICIAL INTERFERENCE IN ELECTIONS. =
Mayor Wood, of New York, has issued proc
lamation commanding the Policemen to refrain
from any interference in elections. He lays i.
down as principle that the official ''is not al
lowed to use the power of his office to overawe,
intimidate or influence the voter" The Lou
isville Democrat commends the principle as
worthy of serious consideration, and says:
No one viii call ia question the propriety Of
the views expressed by Mayor Wood, but It is
TO be regretted that, Of late, official delinquency
in such cases is too often treated as lneritOri-
Gus, rather than criminal.
We imagine the Democrat intended this as
sly lick at its Washington friends, and Peter
G. Washington, 10 particular, who is so highly
commended by the Washington Uaioa for bis
activity and energy" in raising contributions
TO sffect elections.

THE PACIFIC RAHRoAD.-On Monday, Mr..
Armstrong, the Representative from Knox and
Sewer, offered a series Of resolutions in the
House Of Representatives instructing our SEN
ators and requesting our Representatives in
Congress to endeavor TO secure the passage of
a law by Congress favoring the construction of
the Pacific railroad on the Southern route
The New York Herald, in a notice Of the va
rious routes proposed for this great highway
OF the nations, says:
"The extreme Southern route through Texas via
FL Paso and the Gadsden purchase Is, by all odds,
the most feasible route for a railroad from the Mis-
sssipp river the Pacific ocean, and for these rea'
sons: Ii is from i've hundred 10 thousand miles
shorter than any other route IL turns the two great
snow covered chains Of the Rocky Maintains and
the Sieire Nevada, and runs upon . comparatively

NATIvIsM IN IRELASD.-It will be seen by
the following extract, says the New Orleans
Creole, that Irishmen advocated native princi-
pies many years ago. Daniel O'Connell once
said, "Let English rule England-Frenchmen
France-Scotchmen, Scotland-and in the
name Of God, let Irish rule Ireland" 'The
head and front of our offending" is, that we
claim, also, that it is right, Americans should
rule America"

resentation Of the Irish nation in Parliament, and
TO prevent foreigners from ruling ireland. The So
ciety had complete organization, test oath,
constitution, and modes by which the members
were enabled 10 know one another. The Society
was composed at first Of persons of different reli-
rions-Epscopalians, Presbyterians, and Catholics.
The Emmets, Wolfe Tone, Lord Fitzgerald, Simon
Butler, James Napier Tandy, well known leaders
Of the United lrisbmen, we're Epscopalians. A

Election Of Erastus Brooks. ESQ.

The reelection of this gentleman to the
Senate of New York, is triumph of no ordi-
nary Importance. His signal defeat of Arch
bishop Hughes in a controversy they had some
months since, aroused the ire of the old Romish
prelate anew when Mr.. Brooks became a can
didate, and he made his defeat a personal mat
ter; the Republican or Freesoil candidate was
withdrawn on the eve of the election, in or
der to leave a clear field for Mr.. Munday, Nj.
Brooks Soft and Catholic competitor. I'm
mense efforts were made by the lordly Arch
bishop and his political friends, but Mr.. Brooks
was triumphant over them all by about 700
majority, In view of this suspicious result,
the n. Y. Commercial AdCertiSer well says:
Mr. Brooks triumph, which is complete, must
be exceedingly gratifying TO that gentleman and his
friends, and equally notifying TO the Republicans
who prevented his regular nomination, and we're
very persistent in their efforts 70 defeat his cleo
ton. We rejoice over il mainly in the evidence,
however il affords that the people will, when the
issue is boldly put before them, sustain upright
and faithful public servant, and award TO him the
honor that fidelity merits; and because of the re
buke administered 70 a Romsh preiate who thought
by an avalanche Of abuse, and unchristan aud un.

fallen into the pit which he digged for another.

The decrease in the shipments Of specie, it will be
seen, amounts to nearly SS,OOO,OOo. The usually
well informed commercial editor Of the New York
Independent says, 'the existing stringency in the
Money Market occurs just at the right moment to
prevent extensive foreign mportaOns for the spring
trade. Had it not been for this sudden check, too
many goods would doubtless have been ordered"
Although these facts are furnished by single
port, they afford very favorable indication of the
prosperity of the country. Another evidence of
this prosperity is to be found in the increased re-
ceipts of various railroads in the country. The COM
paratve receipts of the roads specified below is

WHAT THE WAR IN EUROPE COsTs Us-ADvANCE
IN THE PRICE OF "MATERIALs." THE war in Eu-
rope seems to cost every body something, not only
there but here. Many articles of which immense
quantities wasted in war, used for the arts
OF peace, and every manufacturer suffers from the
extra demand, the consequent limited supply and
increased price. In the articles of satpetre lead,
gunpOwder, naval stores, hemp, and some kinds of
iron the advance in prices since the war broke out
has been an average of thirty per cent. Ssltpetre
has advanced from six to fourteen cents per pound,
and none is to be had at the latter figure.
Gunpowder, for shipping, which was worth ten
cents per pound in New York when the war broke
out has advanced to twenty, aud the market is
close. Galena lead has gone up a cent pound
since 1855 and the riss in naval stores ia about
twenty five per cent
The question which has puzzled the brain of so
many scientific men, "WiIl saltpetre explode ?"
is now giving place to another which seems to be
equally as difficult of solution, "What are we to
do for saltpetre?" For some time past our markets
have been active on European account The New
York Journal of Commerce, Of the SOth ult, says
The last considerable sale reported was a week
ago at Philadelphia, when 1900 bags sold at l3c,
said to be for export to Hamburg. All offering in
bond here and at Boston, has been taken for export
and at the latter port, nearly all of the cargoes
known to be on the way from Calcutta, have been
bought to arrive. About 1000 bags have been re-
ceived at Boston within few days, part of it di.
recly from England, and this will probably be re.
shipped to the Continent. At this port the foreign
imports for the last week up to Friday were 200
bags. There are now about 5000 bags known to
be on the way from England to this country. The
stock here in refners hands is about ], 600 bags
the Hazard Powder Company said to hold about
5000 bags, and Dupont about 5000, but these are
estimates probably the other powder manufac.
turers have fair stocks. The total imports from
abroad at this port from January LIST, to date in
each Of the last three years. has been as follows:
