HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN ARKANSAS
Women Murdered and The. sMurderers Barnt.-
The Bastrop (Texas) Advertiser of the 23d
ult., says We learn from a creditable,source
that on Monday night, the 14th September, a
widow lady, Mrs. Hill, and a negro woman,
were murdered neal. Berlin, Arkansas, by two
negro,men. Alter perpetrating the horrible
deed, the bodies of the poor unfortunate VIC
Tins were thrown into the house by the muir
derers and miserable wretches, which was set
on fire and burnt to the ground. It is suppos-
ed that the negro woman, from the evidence
of blood and brains near the we'll, was the first
victim, and the rest of the hellish deed was
perpetrated either to conceal the crime or for
purposes of plumber. Several negroes were
arrested short time after the murders were
committed, and it was not known who were
the guilty parties until last Friday, when two
negroes, a,noug the number who were arrested,
confessed that they had committed the most
atrocions act. A bSnfre was made, and the
miserable wretches were thrown into it.

1he Money Markst.-The stringency in the money
market coninues and failure after failure, suspen
sion after suspension, reported In the principal
cities Of our country 1t strikes us that the banks
arc responsible for these disasters, Those who cons
trolled them were fully aware of our growing in>
debtedness to Europe, account of the free trade
policy ofthe pseudo democracy and yet they con
tinued to discount largely, granting favors to oil
who asked, and then becoming alarmed, without
msment's warming, commenced directly opposite
policy, as though the object was to bring disaster
and run on the commercial community. Partiea-
larly was this the case with the banks in the city oil
New York onthe u th of August, their liabilities
were one hundred and one million, and on the Ath
Of September, less than Eve weeks afterwards, they
were reduced to ssl 100000, or at the rate OF sa'
100000 per week. This sudden contraction WIS
most unWise, calculated to embaIrass the most
wealthy, and to create panic in which the bantq.
would share the general ruin. We do not see how
aIy other result could have been expected from suoh
action They feared The coming of Il crisis, and
instead of endeavoring to prevent it, adopted the
very course to brig il about They Crippled those
theyhad encouraged to extend their operations
ensued, confidence was destroyed, and run on the
banks was the consequence Had the opposite course
been pursu ed, discounts been gradually cut down,
but still extend to those engaged in legitimate
business who could give good security, all might
have gone on we'll, Imports would gradually have
fallen off prices slowly but surely recedei, and in
a years time we should have had more ealthy
state of nffairs,
In this connection we may remark that our banks
should endenvor TO extend every facility to our busi-
mesa men, who can give good security. By too
selfish and timid course they do great deal Of
mischief, when by q more liberal policy they may
do much good They have the confidence of the
people, and while they remain in state of suspen
sion there can be no difficulty apprehended. All
good paper, for sixty or even ninety days, can be
safely discounted, without there should be difficulty
in making exchanges with Philadelphia. If the
banks should endeayor to MD the business communi
ty-the object for which they were created there
will be no loss ofconfdence in cty-few failures,
and still fewer forced sales.
We will observe in regard to this point that any
man who attempts to collect judgment or mortgage
where the property in worth the amount, by calling
In the aid Of the sheriff, acts very unwsey 1t not

CADETS OF TEMPERANCE This is an organization
that We look upon with interest, and as something
that Is calculated If rightly supported, to plant in
our midst colony of temperance men whose in
Auence will be greater to than the legions

1.-THE boy "a tho fathers to the man +"
Temperance boys generally make temperance
men. If we can nstilI into our youth the import,
ance of temperance, and the evils that flow from
intemperanee, whom they become men they will not
be forgotten.
When the perncious and degrading habit of
drinking Intoxicating lqaors has once been engraft-
sd upon mans appetite there Is but little hope of
its ever being removed The chances are ten to
one that he fills q drunkard's grave.
How important 1t Is then, that the boys, the men
that are to be, shoald have these mighty truths
impressed upon their minds!
The prohibitory law of our own State, as we'll as
that of most other States where II has had trial,
has been inexperienced by majority of the people.
Their mindswere not prepared for It, and hence its
existence was but TRANSFORMS shadow cast from q
passing cloud, that fingered for moment and Their
was gone! What then, must we do to be saved p
Commence at the root or the evil-raise genera
tion Of temperance men. Instill into the minds o.
the future fathers and mothers of the country COCO
and holesome ideas of temperance and morality
and the grave swallows up the present generation
the ramparts of Rum will totter to ruin, and from
their smouldering ashes will be heard the WELDON
" Nevermore ~
Let the parents of our city encourage their son
to become cadets Of temperance, Let the oil
soldiers of temperance who have fought the demol

they were victerous, throw their Of protection

TaE Po0R.-The prospect the coming WINTER 10
many those who support themselves by their daily
labor must bo very gloomy The financial crisis that
has befallen the country, has SO Ievolutionized
and doranged the equilibrium of trade, in various
places, that thousands Of business men are COM
PEELED to suspend operations altogether, while
many others-manufaoturer in psrticular-are only
working on half time, thus throwing out OF employ
ment hundreds and thousands of operatives who
have nothing to depend upon for their support but
their work. How this large class Of citizens are to
stand the tugcf war; and ward off the poisoned
arrows of poverty and starvation, none but the All
seeing eye of the Great I AM can tell but observa
ton teaches Us that the suffering will, undOubt.
eddy, be very great. Under ordinary circum-
stances, and at times when the prosperity Of our
country is undisturbed by the bighting curse of q
money crisis, or a national bankruptcy, there are
always many in the large cities whose suforiugs in
the winter season are very great. What must il be
then, under the present derangod features Of our
country?
But we would not look only at the dark side OF the
picture Beyond the darkest clouds there are bright
stars Though the miuds Of many, as well as their
bodies, may suffer materially the coming winter
from the deranged state of the money market, the
abundant crops that have blessed our country the
present season, will overcome them in great mea
sure. The harvest has been more than an average
In The country there arc an abundance of wheat
corn, oats, and potatoes enough Tor all, and tt
spare. This will cut down the enormous prices o.
provisions that have prevailed for so long, which ha
been so trying to the laboring man, and thus make
bis expenses for living much lighter than heretofore
Thus the picture brghtens and the prospect for the
poor man loorks more encouraging, aad with thu
discarding of some of the superhuites of life, b.
may be enabled to live through the 'winter Of ou
discomfort" more easly than if such was not tn

The NIAGARA AND THE AaAMEMEoN.--The
London Times, in commenting upon the re-
cent trial of speed between the U. s. steam
frigate Niagara and H. B. M. steamer Aga
memnon, which has been very generally no.
ticed, says:
The Niagara can steam faster, throw hea-
yier metal, and ut 6 greater distance than the
Agamemnon, and ii moored off large town
in an undisturbed position, would do great
damage, without receiving injury, if no oppos-
ing ships were near; but at sea, with the
chances of fogs and mists, the recurrence of
night, and the possible arrangement of her
machinery, it is questionable whether she
would be able to maintain such long range
as would secure her advantages oyersuch ASH
as the Agamemnon. =
"The superior range of the guns of the Nj
agara would not avail much against so small a
mark as ship, for at a distance the drop of
parabola would be Sc great that the chances
OF hitting must be small, as evidenced at Sebas-
topol, where very few comp aritively, of the
Russian guns hit our ships, although they fire.
quently lodged within range. AT closer quarter
the lrigate would be placed at a disadvantage she
carries only six guns on each side worked on a
flush deck, where men are not so well protect
ed from falling rigging and spars as when COW
cred with deck. The broadside of the Ag-
amemneI consists of "a guns, those ON the
lower deck being "a Founders, and there is no
doubt that one concentrated discharge would
tell most effectively. Six ships OF the class of
the Niagara have bee constructed, aud it is
not probable that their number will be in
creased

REvENUE OF THE GovERNMENr-THE TARIFF
&c. Washington, Oct. l0--The Secretary Of
the Treasury does not anticipate that tho rev.
enue for the fiscal year ending the Both of June
next, will amount to more than thirty millions,
from present appearances. This will not be a
subject of regret to the administration, as an
empty treasury will BIZ strong argument In
favor OF economical legislation, and do away
in great measure with that lavish system of
appropriations which were so well harvested
by Weed, Matteson Edwards & Co. last Con-
gross.
1t is highly probable the President will
call the attention of Congress to the necessity
of amending the tariff, SO as to render its OPP
Grafton more equitable on the community, pnd
at the same time incidentally encourage our
industrial pursuits. Many of the articles on
the free list might adyantageousy be transfer
ed to the duty paying schedules, whilst some
of the dutiable articles should be placed on
the free list. Mr.. Cobb is gathering volum-
inous statistics ON these points, and his report
to Congress will be one of the most valuable
which ever emanated from the Treasury De-
partment.
