PAYING SUBscRlPTIOa.-For newspaper,
Is regarded ny some people MS very unm.
portant matter. They have an idea that the
small amount they owe the printer cannot
be greatly in need of, and il will do TO be
PAID us soon as surplus of money is on hand
for which they have no use, or whenever il
Is particularly convenient to do so. Some
day they expect to call at the Office and pay,
or they will wait until n collector shall come
round, when, if they should 10 at home, and
nave the money, they will pay him They

Yes, there are too many right thinking PEG.
pie who have different view of their duty

the printer has to rely for the cash to carry

that subscribers generally will soon ADOPT

The Herald says that the defeat of the De.
nocratlc party in the Maryland elections is
unquestlonaby due to the dead weight Of the
Pierce Administration, which the party had
to carry. The administration threw itself in.
to the canvass, the party fought the battle in
behalf of the administration, and the result is
before us. A clean defeat of the spells De.
mocracy, and Il glorious victory for the Amer.
leans! We believe, also, that the SUCCESS of
the Americans is greatly due to the constant.
ly increasing popularity of .heir principles
They will undoubtedly, unless guilty mean.
while of the stupidcst folIies and errors, give
the Forney-kitchen.Cabinct party fits next
year. There Is no hope for the Pierce De.
m"cracy, If the Americans play properly the
cards already in their own hands.

sY- There have been filed 100000 nppli.
cations for bounty land under the act of
March 9Th, 1855, of which number about
$4,000 were filed during the months Of

Of all sizes have been issued, leaving still Il
large number of claims filed in March and
April Enacted upon. The Pension office is
doing their utmost to expedite the business
of the office, and it is impossible for them to
issue warrants faster. Inquiries are frequently
made by parties and letters written 10 the

issued Il circular in which he states "that it is

The Pension office have been near six months
in issuing these 50 900 warrants, thus about
making the supply of warrants in the market
equal TO the demand for them, and keeping

a HINT TO DESCENDING MTHrsrEIs.-A
certain minister, who had been very successful
in his labors in the Gospel vineyard III length
saw but little fruit attending his adminisira.
tiOns. TO be useless he could not bear; his
soul was bowed down under the discouraging
prospects around him. Nothing on EARTH was
so gloomy to him as spiritual deartl,, for he
had been used to showers of reformation and
mercy; and nothing else could satisfy his
mind. Seeing no Outpourngs of the Spirit,
no sinners converted under his preaching for
some time, his soul was beset with dcspond.
ing and melancholy. While thus exercised,
he dreamed that n gentleman hired him to
work for him, and the price of his labor per
day was stipulated On inquiring what his
employer would have him go about, he was
informed that he must go and hammer Ger.
tain rock to pieces.
That he replied, 'wonld do nn good, for
the rock is large and hard, and could never
break it to pieces
THAT is nothing to you, said the gentleman,
follow my directions and will pay you you;
wages
The 'aborcr then went to work, and though
it appeared an endless, and therefore useless
task he la bored with diligence and patience
tor the sake of his wages. After while,
contrary to all his calculations, the mountain.
Gus rock broke into shivers.
The minister saw the dream contained in.
struction for him. lie felt the reproof, re.
snmed courage, aud was again blessed with
seeing the rocky hearts of many of his hearers
broken by the hammer of Gods Word.

has addressed a beautiful letter through the

the Prohibition candidate for Governor in the

ever more worthly bestowed. The follow.
ing is an extract from the same:

amy pretended coincidence on your defeats;
for really your work, your late mission of a.
Dor and love, is spreading its influence to the
breaking up of the old mass of granite, the
tipping shops, which had crushed 50 many
tender hearts. You have proved public
bcnciactor. The hundred and score address
rs you m de during the canvass, in all quar-
tiers of the State, still echo in the breast of
thousands who listened 10 your manly argu.
mcnts and soul.tonching appea.s, You
painted humanity us it suifrrs-as Il drars
through the mire of intoxication. Even now
your eloquent v"icr, its deep pathos and i'm.
plorng sweetness, tremulous with emotion
fingers in my delighted memory. Blessings
have been invoked on your head by many n

children. Tears of gratitude have flowed at
the mention of your name, and bright hopes
are cherished that the cause of which YOU
were the champion, viii ultimately PREVAIL

Gas Light Company,

Y FY-Wa shingtOn Gas Light Company,
November 2s, 1855.-In the report OF the debate Ut
the last session Of the Board Of Aldermen, as pub
lished in the Organ, several erroneous statements
were made. which Justice TO the Company and TO the
public requires should be promptly corrected. 4
One member stated first, " that Congress had
gigen to the Company large amount Of It's capital
This Is wholly untrue not dollar having ever been
contributed to its capital by the Government City
Corporation, or any other organized body all has
been raised BY private means throughout.
this Company The amount stated is too large,
even II the sums paid by the Departments were in
tended to be included, and nothing has ever been re-
ceived except In payment of gas actually consumed
at the reduced rate ($3 30 per thousand cubic eet
charged alike to Governments and the City Corpora
ton. r.
Third. Congress laid, moreover, all the pipes on
the Avenue and erected oil the posts" The latter
allegation is the only correct one of the two. The
lampposts were erected by appropriation Of Con-
gress and are still held by that body. But the gas
mains extend through the whole length OF Pennsyl-
vania avenue, from the Navy Yard to Georgetown.
They run In double lines, for the most part, have
been constructed at vast expense and are the ercu-
siye property of this Company. Many years since,
small pipes were laid by Congress on that portion Of
the Pennsylvania avenue, between the Capitol and
for those two structures and the intermediate street
lamps, and these were the only gas pipes ever laid
by Government in any Of the streets or avenues OF
the city nor has assistance at any time been given
towards laying down other gas mans. but tneAe
pipes leaked badly and they were laid at SO slight
inclination the resduum Of the gas, instead Of flow
ing into the drps or tar wells, to be pumped out at
pleasure settled within the pipes and rapidly did
this hard arry substance FORM that II was evident
they could not be used much longer. Under these
circumstances, the Company bought Of the Govern
men all these pipes and relaid wherever necessary
with mains Of large size-on the north side, with
mains Of ten inches bore SO that the present and flu
ture wants Of the city dependent these great ae
ries are well provided for.
