The MillienaiEes Ct New fork,

Ihe y. York correspondent of the Charles

the millionaires of New York:
''Wm. j. Astor is our richest man: he
inherited bis wealth Stephen Whitney,
tive mi,liong; Owes his Gcrtune to specul..-
tons in cotton, and the rise in real estate.
"; IL. Aspinwall, four millions; came of a

The late Peter Harmony, two millions

their huge fortunes in the tobacco and snuff

millions; learned the trade of timer, and
made fortune in iron and copper. Alex
ander L. Stewart, two millions now of the

Of those who are put down for a million

runctuality is the life and soul Of all bu-
siness, and without it no business can be
conducted proftably. Much of the incon-
venienoe felt by those in business arises
more from want Of punotpalty en- the part
the debtor than from bad management on
the part Of the creditor. In some pursuits
dollar after dollar is expended to enable the
operator to prosecute his business, but as
his goods are sold on credit, he gels 10 re-
turn for his labor and the capital invested
The consequence is his business languishes
and his credit suffers for the want of punetu-
atty on the part of the dealer. If the duty
Of punctuality were more considered and its
obligations regarded as more binding, the
snnoyanees of business would be far less
and men would not be lodging each other
to avoid dun. and they would not have so
often to frame frivolous excuses and resort
80 often to equivoeation, to Salty a creditor
As general rule, when Il job is done, the
money is due and ought to be paid. 1t is
true the credit system has introduced other
rules, but that does not justify the debtor
class to delay payment month after month
and year after specially whea Che ar
ticle he may have in use cost the operator
three fourths of its value in ready money
The same may be said with reference to the
nerchant-hc pays his money for the goods
he sells-and ifhe does sell at profit, Of
what avail is the profit if he cannot get his
money There are evils in the credit sys-
tenn, and it is the interest of all to remedy
these evils, if they ean-but it can only be
done by Ppnetaality. In toe many iustan-
ees suffering is produced for the want Of
punctuality poor need thei, money and
the wealthy have no right to keel, them out
of it. It's poor consolation 70 such AN ont
90 know that the debtor is good of what
avail is his goodness if he never pays. Let
saeh persons remember how much good they
could accomplish by being more punetual-
let them remember that a small sum of mo-
ney may pay large amount of debt, ahd
that the unwillingness of one man, (with
the money in his pocket often prevents this
from being done We once heard an old
merchant remark that lie watched as far as
he could, the movements Of Il ten dollar bill
that he paid out in the morning, by night
it had paid oyer a hundred dollars Of debt,
and had again returned to its owner Of the
morning. This is what money will do if
men "would do as they would be done by"
There are many, however, who collect
closely every cent due to them, but do not
pay as promptly what they owe to others.
Let there be reform III this particular, and
positive benefit will soon be felt by all
classes We would cove nc man anything

because they did not support the k. II. can

lard Fillmore himself had abandoned it, and
those who had once supported him as whig
were not in duty Or in honor bound to sup
port him as know-nothing. Far from it.
The dissolution of the old wing party had
absolyed them from all allegiance to that
party, and they were as free to choose be-
tween the opposing candidates, as if parties
we're for the fast time, forming. No man
can deny this, rnless, indeed, he admits
that the know-nothing party is the old Wing
party, and demanded a blind and implicit
obedience from all wings. Why, then, de-
nounce those as stupid and knayish, who
dissented from them? As the charge made
by the Virginian is a sweeping one, and
embraces all the wings in Virginia who yo-
ted for Buchanan it is but just and fair that
tlle charge should be rcpellcd by the Demo-
cratic press land We are proud to say that
there are many wings in Augusta, neither
stupid nor knsvish who acted with the Demo-

they are to be denounced as stupid and kna-

USLuoKY.-We have beea informed by a
gentleman that knows, that the chief of the
know-nothing party in Washington, D. c.,
confidently expected Virginia to give thirty
thousand majority for Fillmore. He SAID
he had returns from the entire State, and
under no circumstances could the majority
be less. He has since found out his mis-
take, as he lost all he was worth ON thirty
thousand. The State did give thirty thou
sand majority, but it was for Buchanan.

Il Fashionable FIuster.

The House Of Bishops has recently adj
dressed a Pastoral Letter to the Episcopal
Church of the United States on he subject
of church music, This letter has produced
quite a sensation among the churches OF

where they have been hiring their music,

attend a funeral, only the duties are differ
ent-the one sings aud the other cries, for

before heard of a worshipping congregation
hiring their musie-the audience remaining
silent while the Ye Deum or Gloria Excel
SIS was being sung in fashionable sly le--the
whole thing is so superbly ridiculous as to
excite smile at its folly. 1t is not to be
wondered at then, that the House of Bishops
has ordered its 'discontinuauce and directed
their letter to be read in every Episcopal
Church in the land IF they could direct a
return to the good old ways our fathers
trod," much good would be accomplished
and there would rot be SO many "whited

A BIT OF ROMANCE "A married lady ar
rived in the city, says the Albany knieker-
booker, yesterday, from Buffalo, whose de-
parture from that place was attended with a
scene whose unpleasantness was aggravated
By its publicity. The bride is the daughter
of a wealthy and aristocratic merchant of
Buffalo, and one of the most lovely and &C
eomPslshod women Of that city, where love-
illness and accomplishments seem natural to
their sex. The husband is a very respecta-
bic young gentleman, every way, save in
wealth, an equal to the lady The marriage
being opposed by the ladys father, was pri-
vately solemnized by clergyman, yester-
day morning, and the bridal party had just
arrived at the railroad depot to take passage
for New York, when they were. oyertaken
by the brother of the bride, who did not
know of their marriage, and was led to be-
lieve that his sister had sacrificed herself. =
a reneontre ensued between hfm and the
husband, during which he (the brother)
drew pistol. 1t was Immediately taken
from him and fred in the air by the grooms-
man, who was in attendance, and the par
ties separated by him aud another gentle
mau. The husband then claimed an egpla-
nation With the brother, exhibited the mar
riage certificate, and at once relieved. his
fears. The brother then rail- to the father,
who fastened to the cars, read the certifi-
cate, and, after fretting little, gave his
blessing to the happy pair, and got ashore
just as the last beit rang.
