OF We have every reason to believe that
the winter season, will be busy one to our
merchants and river men. Extensive prepar
atoms have been made for slaughtering and
packing hogs, by our pork men, though we
hear of no sales as yet. Farmers and buyers
differ widely in their prices. Much depends
upon the river Should it freeze up, as many
apprehend, our business men of all classes,
would suffer- and the money market would
no doubt become stringent before spring. The
wholesale houses have not as yet been able to
procure all their fall purchases, and one house
on Main street, has had goods on the way
from Baltimore since the 1st of September
Should the river rise in time, we may look for
an unusually profitable season, with large OPP
erations in pork.

cosmnnnlitan Art Union.

The object of this excellent association is to
disseminate and improve national taste for the
Fine Arts, and the organization is most liberal
and efficient for its design. 1t is under the
direction ofa board of gentlemen who receive
no compensation, and have no views of profit
in their labors. 1t is therefore no "catch
penny" enterprise; but affords most economi-
cal mode of gratifying refined taste for the
elegant and beautiful, refinement which we
as people, need more than any other, for we
have more means to indulge the taste generally,
while we have done less to cultivate it. 1t is a
work of patriotism, to labor to disseminate a
knowledge and taste of the arts, for no improve
ment can have a happier effect on our national
character, or spread more genuine happiness
among the people. Every one should try to
improve himself in this respect and spread the
influence of the arts among our citizens. BY
becoming a member of this association, and
paying So per anpum person gets copy Of
two valuable periodicals, and chance to draw
an elegant engraving piece of statuary, OF
a valuable oil painting. He gets more than
the worth Of his money in the periodicals, and
the chance for prize as gratuity. Any one
wishing to join the association can subscribe at
the Telegraph Office where Mr.. Z. G. Earn
hart who is agent for the association, will give
full particulars of the objects and mode OIL
managing the enterprise.

Or The telegraph announced on Saturday
the failure of the Manufacturers and Mechanics,
Bank at Augusta, Georgia. The mails have
brought the following intelligence probably
connected with that event. DR.. E. L. Taylor
an estimable citizen of Columbus, and the
president of the Manufacturers and Mechan-
les Bank at Augusta, attempted, on Saturday
night, to commit suicide, by stab in the
breast with the spear Of his sword cane. 1t
occurred in the cars of the Lagrange railroad.
The stab was attempted at the heart, but ap-
pears to have missed its object, and we learn
by the noon train yesterday, his physicians
think he will recover.

THE HoAx-The letter of Marcy, to Gov.
Grimes, appears to have been the production
of wag in Iowa, "to selP' the whole news
paper press of the Union. The Ohio Journal
at Columbus, which was the first to give it to
the world, tells how it was imposed on by the
joker. 1t says We received the letter IN a
printed slip, from Iowa, inclosed in the letter
we published with it. We had not doubt OF
its genuineness, and we presume our cores
pondent did not suspect its commences.
1t was certainly one of the best gotten up
hoaxes of the age and the author deserves a
cabinet appointment, whether he ever gets it
or not We were completely taken in, we con-
TESS, and can only excuse the author on the
grounds of the excellence of his production.

Mr.. Smith'a Letter.

1t will be seen by the Hon. 0. H. Smiths
letter, that he distinctly denies making any
agreement to suspend the issuing of the bonds
to the Railroad, till certain portion of it
should be completed. Mr.. Carpenter has al
ready made the same denial. The City Coun-
Gil, by formal resolution, declare there was
such an agreement, and make it a pretence for
refusing the bonds. If it had had any infu-
ence in deciding the question, the public
might ask for the proof. But as the cloak is
no longer needed, it is useless to examine its
texture.
