RHODES, PEGRAM & Cot civ

RHODES, PEGRAM & Co.--lt gives US
great pleasure to be able to call attention
to the card of these gentlemen, in another
column. About the first Of the present
year, when there N rs a real crisis in finan-
cial matters in this city, several houses
were forced to suspend, this house yielded,
for tine, 10 the pressure. But they i'm
mediately went to work to extricate them
selves from their difficulties, and they have
succeeded. They again resume business
under most favorable auspices.-[St. Louis
Republican, June 6.
In consequence Of The failure of Belcher
Bros & age, Bacon g. Co Of st. Louis,
this house with numerous others were fore.
Q to suspend payment,--R. p. g. Co. for
half million of dollars and at this time
we believe they are the only house prostra-
ted by the financial tornado oil January who
have resumed in full.

PsooREss OF PeAcE.-Ail our rcadois
mus, enjoy ns much as we ourselves Go the
disappearance of The clouds which lately
dsrkencd our Southern political sky, and
our exemption .yom he exciting announce
ments Of outrage and threats of war which
daily famed forth from our metropolitan
official press, and wers canght up and
echoed by all The Csba-longing "right or
wrong prints through the land. After
sch alarming clamor the present cain is
vssy pleasant, and must bc welcoms to all
hsnsaly-disposcd people. thanks to the pru.
dent counsels Of the Government and its
resistance Of fillibustering influences.
And now we are graiiiied to find that the
interests of peace are progressive, as well
as the evils of contention. Gen. Concha
said TO our officers, we understand that the
President had by his large feet eGectualy
put down flibustering, and relieved him of
all anxiety, and ebvialed all danger OF diii-
Guilty or collision and we have hardly got
the news Of this pacific state Of affairs IN
the Gulf of Mexico before we receive intel
lgence that the twRFemaining questions of
difficulty have been satisfactorily settled at
Madrid. The last steamer brought us pri-
vate letters from Paris communicating the
agreeable information that our Charge d.
Affaires at Madrid, Mr.. Perry, had obtain
ed from the Spanish Government al entire-
ly satisfactory adjustment Of the EAiorado
case and that o! the Vice Consul at SangLa
Ia Grando, Mr. Thompson. 1t is said, in
deed that Mr.. Perry has succeeded so lar
in the latter case as to obtain an order for
the dismissal of the Lieutenant Governor of
Sugua h Grande who caused the arrest of
Dir. Thompson.
AS further security for peace we are
happy to learn by The same letters that the
Spanish Government; has, in the spirit of
Cancellation, issued instructions for their
cruisers in the West Indies which will pre-
vent the recurrence OF any difficulty in
that quarter, or any just cause of complaint
on our part. So succ essful indeed has
been our charge d'Affairs in carrying out
the instructions aud wishes of his Govern
ment that we aPprehend Mr.. Dodge will
Aappify for his own comfort, find little left
unsettled to give him any trouble.
Mr.. de Cueta, we understand, returns,
home from the United States at his own re-
quest. He is a moderate in politics, aud
opposed to'the policy of the prQgresista par

ANIMALS FsRETELLIaG THE WEATHER

ANIMALS FsRETELLIaG THE WEATHER.
Ii is said that the woodcock in New Jersey
is building its nest this year, in open and
moist places, and old hunsnen predict in
consequence that the summer will be dry
one. 4 here was a time when science, or
what was called such, laughed at signs of
this description, as no better than "old wo-
mems tales )" but though many of them
them are still unreliable, a larger observa-
ton Of nature has taught that animals have
an instinct, which not unfrequenty becomes
prophetic, as in this example. At hast
years meeting Of the American Association
for the advancement Of Science, a curious
paler was read on this subject by MIR. N.
Il. Thomas, Of Cincinnati, who had fOr sew

might afford respecting the weather. He

The CASE OF ARRIsoN--On Thursday,
the District Court Of Ohio, in session in
Cincinnati, granted new trial to WIN. II.
Arrison, of internal machine notoriety, con-
vic,ed of murder, on the ground of misd-
reclion in Judge Flynn's charge to the jury.
The Coult has remanded this case to the
Court OF Common Pleas for new trial. 1t
is supposed than an act OF the Legislature
transferring the business of criminal
court to the Court Of Cnlhmon
Pleas is so defective as to be null and void,
and that Arrison canlot therefore be tried
by that court and the District Court hav-
ing adjourned to september next, the order
cannot be amended. Should the act reiel-
red to be void, Arrison will probably be
discharged on writ of habeas corpus, and
thus escape punishment.
