GRoc Shop CLosED.-The grog-shop that has
so long been a nuisance to the inmates of the
Holland Place, has at last been closed, and the
property has increased in value at least fifty per
cent. There are several other grog shops in the
immediate neighborhood of our Office (some of
them quite fashionable, where our fashionable
citizens take their morning horns,) that should
also be closed. A man can go to destruction
just as swiftly in golden car as in those usually
devoted to second class passengers. Public opin-
ion is setting in strong against these breathing
holes of Pandemonium, and the time ,ciH come
if not this fall, when liquor dealers longer
manufacture drunkarks with impunity, and coin
dollars from the Rum Traffic.

THE ATLANTA MONEY.

The Georgia money seems to be in difficulty
about these days. A terrible run has been made
upon the bank, and by many it was feared it
would be obliged to shut down. ,aq
The following article upon the subject is cut
from the last number of the Ottawa Free Trader !:
1t would be useless, were we so disposed longer
to disguise the fact, that there is terrible shak
ing among the manufacturers Of Georgia Currency
in Chicago. The note of alarm has been sounded,
and the time for the second semi-annual explosion
is at hand. The rush and the run has commenced
and arriving as this currency does now in thousands
upon thousands day at the counters of the Chi
cago wildcat bankers, the " closing' scene is in.
evitable and there can be no postponemcnt on ac-
count of the weather. We should as soon sleep
in bed full of feas than with a pocket full of
Georgia wildcat. Push it off-Push it off.
The N. Y. Evening Post of the 9th, thus al
ludes to the matter:
The delay in the arrival of the Nicaragua
steamer deprives the market of the advantages of
about $SOO,0OO, but few days only, and the loss
of specie by the banks this week will be made up
next. The run on the Atlanta Bank, Georgia,
continues, and is wholesome check on the issues
of distant banks, where the issues are unsecured
for western circulation. The gold called for to
meet the run on the Georgia Bank, is sent from
this city, but is instantly sent back by those who
receive it from the bank for bills redeemed.

speeches were made and strong resolutions
passed. We trust that the action Of this meet
ing, in connection with the efforts now being
made by large number Of persons throughout
the Territory, will induce the President TO post
pone the sales, for should they come off at the
present time, it would be a severe blow to the
prosperity Of the. Territory During recent
visit in the Southern part Of Minnesota, we
had ample opportunities for ascertaining the
views Of settlers an this, question, and by far
the greater number Of them were anxious that
the sales should be postponed, even those who
had money to pay for the land, should it come
into market now. While the sale of the lands
might benefit .tsW, we insist that they would
prove injurious to the many, and on this ground
we sincerely hope that they will be put off. lol

has addressed to the Commercial Advert
ser letter, in reply to query whether be
intends to abandon the Wing party for the
sake Of fusing with the so-called Rep1bli-
cans. The response is q stern negative
He says, whoever may abandon the princi-
Piles of the Wing party, iu his estimation
they are as valuable and important as ever.
He observes, that
If Northern anti-slavery party is de,
sirable, it must be desired that the people
Of the free States should enter into It. The
very proposition implies that we are to be
met by the people Of the Southern States
in solid array. We cannot close, our eyes
to the practical tendencies Of such con
flict. It's effect must be to exasperate one
part of the nation toward the other part,
and to weaken if not to Danish those senti-
ments Of friendship and brotherhood which
gave birth to the constitution"
When, he states, the sectional luminosity
which is avowed in some quarters shall be-
come common, the Uaion will no longer be
worth preserving. He says that he is not
disposed to reduce the negro TO political
stalking horse; we are hardly called
upon TO forego all other considerations, and
make him the exclusive object Of our zeal
and solicitude.7g . rafa r.9ia'l1mmi mooc

How Col. KINNEY GETS oN.-A lette
from the New York Evening Post give
some interesting statements, as to thu
movements of Col Kinney and his expedi
tion in Nicaragua From the Nicaraguf
and Costarica papers it appears that ful
half the government troops (l400 or 1900
have been carried of by the cholera. The
Colonel has received, or is expecting to re-
ceive, overturcs from the government par
ty OF Nicaragua, we are told, but intends
10 dccliue any participation in the move,
ments of either party. He only waits for
the arrival Of sufficient force to enable him
to occupy his lands free from annoyance,
and then he will go to work His printing
press has arrived
The Colonel has become q very large
landholder since he arrived there, having
purchased no less than 80, 900, 900 Of acres,
with 300 miles Of sea-coast 1t is the same
tract that was originally granted by Messrs.
SheBhard and Haley. to Senator Cooper.
The Coloucl pays only five hundred thou
sand dollars, which is pretty cheap, con
sidcrng tLat his farm is about eight hun
dred times as large as the State Of New
York Meantime the Colonel is peaceably
occupying himself in looking out for good
locations in the neighborhood of the port,
as well us in erecting his house, which will
be entirely completed and furnitured by the
18th inst. He himself acts as head car
penter.
Great complaint is made of the Transit
Company, which refuses to supply the cx-
peditioniSts, to carry their letters, or help
them in any way.
The number Of the Coloncls associates
are constantly increasing, and he is expect
ing large reinforcements from the United
States and California. He aud his cxpcdi.
ton are said to be very popular and
amongst the evidences OF friendly feeling
on the part of the inhabitants, it is stated
that Il report being in circulation that a
reward of $4,000 had been offered for the
CoIonel's assassination, committee waited
upon him. offering for his protection
guard of fifty citizens, in addition to the
forty men now constituting tho expedition
proper, D. ..- t.... .t..,.....- ~
1t is remarked that the sailors in port
would all desert IL they could bc allowed
TO join the expedition. One poor Irish
man became so facinated by tho Colonel
that he jumped from the vessel to which he
was articled, into the sea, to swim ashore,
and before he was retaken was dragged
down by an alligator and perished.
Revelations are promised in tho first
number of the Central American to show
the completely of Mr.. Marcoleta, the Mica
ruguan Minister, and Mr.. White, the agent
Of the Transit Company with the GreytOwn

case Of the People against Philip Bierber-
rick, accused Of selling larger beer at

Of the oct for the q" Suppression Of Intern
perance, Pauperism and Crime" The de-
cision of the Duchess County Court is re-

the validty0f the law, and in which JUS
tice Smith Of the Court Of Special Sessions,
before whom the defendant was tried,

himself from the harsh criticisms which at
tended the publication Of his autobiogra
ply. He says he was not fool enongh to
expose the tricks of his trade while still
in the business Of humbug, aud thinks the
mere fact of his confessions ought to con-
vince all reasonable minds that he will here
after do only legitimate business, He
made money only by his enterprises that
possessed genuine merit, such as the Muse
um, Jenny Lind and Tom Thumb. To the
latter be gives $4,000 year. The ex-
