SOMETHING TO FILL UP.

Our Eastern files are filled with prolix Jere-
miads the depressed condition of the money
market and of almost all branches of productive
industry-of the thousands turned out of employ
ment to add to the fearful aggregate of crime and
pauperism-of the widespread distress of those
| without work hope of work-of the close-fst-
ed jealousy and hawk-eyed d;srust in business
circles injecting all classes like gangrene-and
there stinted notices in pithy paragraphs, like
the liable of deadly po:son-of that black wave
of fraud which surged above the weak restraints
of public sentiment, in rampant villainy of Schuy-
Ter and swelled by defalcatons, petty cheats, e.
normous swindling and mail robberies-would
seem likely, if unchecked, to make a wreck of So
cial confidence and to submerge the whole Coun-
try in the food of infamy which has engulphed
the proudest names in the mercantile world.
There are salutary lessons in these events
But, alas they are not all so. Examples of sue
cessful wrong and unpublished villainy have in
stiled their poison in the moral veins of society
and scoundrels will not forget the maxim
taught by the plausible sequence Of events, that a
crime is venial in proportion as it is stupendous.
The tone of our exchanges, however, is lighter
anu InOIe uopcIul tudu LUZ tue lew WcckS pre-
vious.
The admonitory shock of the first heavy fail
ures has wrought the most beneficial results. All
the mercantile classes, sharing in the constant
apprehension of the invisible dangers that sur
round them, have come at last to believe in
Economy as the only ark of safety,-and to re-
vert to the old prudential maxms taught by fru-
gal grandmothers and inculcated in &C Poor Rich
ard"
Business operations have been therefore more
and more withdrawn from the pcrilous fields Of
speculation and confined to the limits of actual
capital
Thus armed against possible contingencies, in
dividual disasters do not occasion general alarm.
Money is easy in New York at per cent. on
call. The retail shops are doing better bust
ness ana all departments of trade furnish
indications that the panic has subsidized.
We may congratulate ourselves on our general
exemption from the caamities which have visit
ed the older portions of the Union. Money is,
perhaps, a little tighter than last week, but the
frequent news of Bank failures does not impair
the general feeling of security. 'a
Protests of the paper of some of the involved
Eastern Houses, have occasioned some individual
embarrassments and the retention of deposits
in the Eastern Banks, during the recent panic,
have caused the postponement of some heavy in
vestments here. Further than this our communi-
ty has been but little affected by Eastern depress-
ion.

The ship Golden Eagle, from st. Thomas, re-

by the Royal Mail Company, to take the English
mail and passengers to another of the Islands,
and was fred into BY the authorities of the island

state-room in which were an English lady and
child. The Ben Franklin was detained for re-
pairs. The reason given for firing into her was,
that she had no right to pass.

CO We copy the following article, not to
crafty our vanity, but to show what people think
of those presses which are continually endeavor-
ing to pull down other places to build up their
own. The same course, blythe same process, which
has been pursued towards Galena, has been pur-
sued towards st. Anthony and other towns in our
Territory, and will be probably again. The re-
suit of that course has been demonstrated in the
recent election of Public Printers. We have &C.
casionally spoken of St. Anthony, in commenda-
tory terms, for which we have been reprimanded
10y contemporaries, but if they wish to cut their
own throats, let them keep on-they are in fair
way to accomplish their purpose.
Mr.. Newson of the St. Paul Times, has been

nothing made by the papers of that city quarrel
ing with Galena, and Galena Boa;men. 1t would
be well if they heed the plain, common sense ad-
vice occasionally given them in the columns of
