Elections and Indian Summer has nearly ESCAPED
us this year without an item of identifcaton-
The noise and confusion of our election here WA
perhaps less manifest than usual and the '.Indial
Summer most apparent has been what some o
the Maryland American papers have been callin.
Il political one, which latter matter has beer
referred to heretofore in another part Of TIN

an introduction to the following little poem, which
We laid aside for publication early in the month ::
The wild November comes ut last
Beneath the veil Of RAIN
The night wind blows S folds as ide-
Her face is full Of pain.
The latest Of her race she takes
he Autumn vacant throne:
She has but one short moon to live
And she must live alone:
barren realm of withcrcf fields:
Bleak woods and failing leaves
The pilest morris that ever duwned;
The drc"riest of ewes
1t is no wander that she comes;
Poor month with tears of pain
For what can one so hopeless do
But weep: and weep again

MORE MAcoMB MoNEY.-We observe
that the Bank OF Macomb County is issu-
ing batch Of new note. The want Of
public confidence in the concern had
driven home the greater part Of its circu-
lation, but it would appear thai the mana
gers, after three or four months unwilling
suspension of business, are inclined again
to try the public temper Surely there
can be no need Of further warnings on our
part. 1t is perfectly well known that the
bank is utterly irresponsible-that it is
owned and controlled by men unknown to
the people Of Michigan-and that it is
not employed in one legitimate banking
business. There is but one safe course to
pursue, and that is to proscrJe lis issues.
Its circulation is small now. but it will soon
swell unlimitedly if its notes shall be tole-
rated. Thorc is plenty Of good money ip
the country which farmers may demand
for their products. They may have specie
if they so elect. The farmer who accepts
doubtful currency for his wheat, 81, corn,
or oats, or potatoes commits a simple act
of folly. fIe should not take Macomb
County Bank Money Det. Free Press.
And what is true Of "Macomb" is true
of all this Georgia" trash. Let business
men and farmers carry "a stiff upper lip,
and the thing is done. The rotten stuff
has about all disappeared and all we need
10 do is just simply to refuse it entirely
Money wont ego" unless you carry it.

ArnoRlsMs FROM PUNCH. Tho men who

an apprentice In The Censor Office, has recently
attained high rank in the Russian service, in
which he has been engaged for the last threo
years, and is now in command in tho Crimea

age, and went to an Atlantic port, whero he
shipped "beforo tho mast as a sailor. He
rapidly rose from his position to that of captain
of merchant vossc through the Intermediate

BURNING OF THE NATIONAL HOTEL.

BURNING OF THE NATIONAL HorEL.-
AT about o'clock yesterday morning, an
alarm of fire resounded through our; streets
which was caused by smoke issuing from
the roof, near the kitchen chimney, of the
National Hotel. Notwithstanding the
prompt arrival on the ground of our Fire
Companies and large concourse Of citi-
zens, before the devouring element could
be got under, the main building on the
corner of Monroe and Greenwich streets,
so feet on The former and ono hundred on
the latter, was almost entirely demolished
and burned down. The two additions on
the north, which are mainly occupied by
boarders, were sayed-one OF them not
damaged and the other partially so-thro'
the almost superhuman exertions Of the
fremen, with the assistance of few fear
less and daring citizens, who bravely and
manfully took hold and rendered timely
aid. The fire occurring in the morning,
when everybody was sup and dressed" :"
was one reason why the adjoining build
ings were saved; for, had it taken place
in the night time, there would have been
no such thing as saving them. The bull
dings were very old, of wood, and thor
oughly prepared by age and seasoning to
feed the flames.
The building belonged to Canton Smith,
Esq, and the insurance-Mr. Mills in
forms us-had expired only few days
previous. Loss probably $4,000. Mr.
Granger had no insurance on the furniture.
the same having expired with the Protec-
ton Company, of Hartford, which lately
"busted up" His loss in this respect win
probably exceed $500.

THE ALLIED FLEET IN THE BALTrc.-
The London Times is pouring heavy
broadsides in to the Allied feet in the
Baltic. In late article it pronounces the
operations in that sea during the past sum-
mer to be ''the grandest illustration of the
art of Jathos ever supplied" Ten ships
of-the-ine twenty one Frigates, and nine-
teen vessels of lower rate carry in the ag-
gregate 2,97l guns have kept few Rus
sian men-of-war in harbor, captured some
fishing smacks, burned some stores, and
bombarded Sweaborb. Says the Thua-
derer.:
"For every penpyworth of actual dam
age our fleets have done to the Russian
army and navy, we believe we have spent
a shilling ourselves. If any body can
make out more by throwing into the ac-
count all the boats and cottages burned,
all the sheep carried off, all the planks
shouldered by our sailors, and striking a
fair guess for all the possible mischief done
by our shells and rockets thrown kindly
among trees and out houses, we shall be
glad to increase our estimate; but we be-
lieve the proportion of damage done is as
much as when gentleman has a light
with costermonger, and spoils pretty
face and five guinea coat without any
appreciable harm to the phisiognomy or
or garments of his antagonist"

SrRANaE SuIc1pE.-Miss Clara Haskir

STRANGE SUICIDE. Miss Clara Haskins,
Young lady residing few miles from
Natchez, Miss, on the eve Of her marriage
some two hours before the time for the
performance of the ceremony-was found
dead in her chamber on the ed inst. Af-
ter being dressed by her bridesmaids, she
requested them to retire for short time,
and when they returned they found her
lying lifeless upon her couch, with an
empty vial of prussiac acid still clasped to
her hand. The tragedy created great
excitementin the vicinity Of its Occurrences,
and it is believed that she sought death
by her own hand, rather than wed the
man her parents had determineds she
should espouse. She possessed a highly
cultivated mind and many loveable quail
ties, the consciousness of which renders
her fate doubly mournful TO her sorrowing
friends.
