BExvirr.--A merchant, at season Of bus
mess depression, received from one Of his
customers at distance, in answer to . pre-
vious dun, . letter stating his dilkcultiss and
requesting time. The merchant paced the
room with lowering brow, and stopping sud
denly said to bic clerk
"Write to that man without delay"
The paper was ready, and the pen filed
with ink, but not receiving any message for
some moments, the clerk asked
"What shall write?
Something or nothing, and shnt very
quick"
Back to the desk went the clerk and rapid
ly moved his fingers over tho paper.
The letter was sent to the o6ice, and BY
return mail came a letter from the customer,
inciosing the money in full.
The merchant, with glisseninE eyes, read
the letter, and Fastening to his clerk he
asked
'sWhat did you write to --?"

= copy Of the letter.
Going to HE letter. book, he found the fol.
lowing:
''Dear Sir--Something or nothing, and

ANsExArioS IN THE RIoHr QuAnrsa.-A
warm discussion is going on between the
Herald and the Com. Advertiser, OF Mon.
treal, respecting IN annexation to the Cni-
ted States. One Of the objections urged BY
the Advertiser, which opposes the movement,
is that the power Of the Federal Governmen,
would be used for the oppression OF Canada,
~ IL il now for the psrsccution and subjuga.
ton Of the people Of Kansas. This, Gays
the New York Courier, 10 an idle apprehcn-
sion. Annexation 10 not the right word Il
use in this connection; union i trusr and
better one. When the Canadian Provinces
become independent States Of this Coufed.
eracy, that result will be effected BY the vol.
untsry action Of their people.
In the meantime, adds the Courier, We ars
happy to inform the Unionists Of Canada
that Hon. L. D. Campbell, Of Ohio, who hn'
twice proposed measures preliminary 70 theil
admission, on the same footing with the orr.
ginal States, has been reelected.

ILLrsos.--lt appears very certain that
Illinois has gone for Fremont. In several
southern counties heard from Fremont and
Fillmore both gain. The northern part Of
the stats goes Overwhelmingly for Fremont.
The last dispatch from Chicago says that In.
dicstions are that the Republican Presiden-
tia and State tickets are both elected.

cTMr. Sumner declines the proposed
banquet to him at Boston, being too i'll to
take part in such demonstration.

At the moment OF WTiUng, IL - IN NO Wlso

fails, evidently BY 4 small majority, yet
As fails. But, though our convictions have
connected ns with party that seldom tr'-
amphsd in . national canvass, We never
fought battle With friends who felt in so
high spirit after defeat - the Republicans
do At this moment. There is no sign Of de-
spondency or lack Of heart, not the least in
iication Of mortified feeling, Of disposi-
tion to abate one jot OF principle or recede
an inch from the position which they have
assumed. Fresh in spirit, buoyant in feel
ing, Arm in resolution they have already en-
listed for new campaign, full of hope and
confidence. They have fouyhta good fight.
II they have barely failed of victory now,
they have demonstrated tho possession Of .
power and vitality Of the most formidable
and encouraging character, Of strong foun-
dation in the deliberate judgment Of the in
telligsut masses in the North which 10 soon to
render them invincible. And there il reason
for encouragement, for high spirit and de-
termined resolution. In the shsrt space Of
nine months they have well-nigh taken the
nation by storm. The future is plainly
theirs. Their principle 10 triumphant in the
minds Of the people, and the day Of the ma
tion's deliverance at their hands is near.
They see il, they feelit; they are encouraged
ct the great success they have already achiev-
ed, and with : dauntless spirit and high
resolve, 6rm in the rectitude Of just, hu-
name and patriotic cause, they do not lay
down their arms, but form anew on the field
Of battle and present close ranks to the foe.

THK HlonRsr MouSrAIx IN THE WOMB
The principal topic Of conversation Ut CAL
cutta is the discovery Of the highest noun
tain in the world. At the meeting Of the
Asiatr S6ciety q Bengal on the 9th Of Au-
gust, Major Thuillier announced thatACol.
Waugh, Surveyor General Of India, had
completed his computations Of tAs positions
and elevations Of the peaks Of the Hinalayas.
The result Was to depose the mountain KIM
chinjinga from its throne - the hiehss,
point on the earth's surface. That distinc-
ton belongs for the present to q peak 100
miles from kanchinjinga, and between that
mountain and Kanmsndoo. This peak 10 as-
certained to be 29,OO2 feet above the sea
level; kanchinjinga is 8,l56 feet; and De.
walagirl, the mountain which ssschool geo.
graphies" persist in calling s'the highest
mountain in the world,' 10 only 1886 feet.
The mountain has NO name intslligible TO
civilized men, and Col. Waugh has therefore
ventured to denominate it ''Mount Everest, -
after former Surveyor General.
