AMOUNT OF SPECIE IN THE CoUNTRY.-I
becomes important at the present time to as
certain how much specie there is in the coun-
try in other words, the amount of that cur
rency which cannot be deprecated or in any
way disturbed by any explosions. The spe-
Gle basis of the banks is known to be about
sixty millions, and the inquiry turns to the
amount in general circulation among the peo-
pie. On this point the Philadelphia North
american says
" We have taken the pains, for our own
satisfaction, to look over the official figures
for a series of years, in order to approximate
safe opinion upon this subject, and they
develop some results of striking interest at
the present juncture, which ought to inspire
feelings of encouragement even in the most
Responding. Notwithstanding the enormous
depletion of precious metals during the last
seven years, it will be seen that the coinage
in that period exceeded the exports by an
amount almost equal 10 the whole coinage
during the preceding ffty.eigh years;

SLAVERY IN OREeoN.-On this subject
late number of the San Francisco Free Press
remarks
"We are very glad to learn from private ad-
vices received from Oregon, that there is little
reason to fear tie adoption Of Constitution
in that incipient State legalizing slavery. The
election Of pro slavery Democrat as presi-
dent of the Constitutional Convention, is not
understood there as indicating the preference
of the members on that question so far from
it, that it is asserted by those who should
know, that there is working majority of
that body decidedly opposed to introducing
clause in the Constitution in favor of slavery,
believing it to be calculated to injure the flu
ture welfare of the State. The only argu-
ment used by those who favor the project, is
based upon the scarcity of laborers, and the
convenience it would be to those in want of
help to be able to buy slaves, the same as
horses and oxen, when required. On the
other hand, the inhabitants of Oregon who
see an inch beyond their noses, are aware that,
for every slave introduced there, at least five
white laborers would be prevented from max
ing it their home, and establishing there the
arts and manufactures that only flourish on
the soil Of freedom"

WORCESTER NORTH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
We learn that we we're under a misapprehension
of the rule of this society in relation to the allow.
ance to ploughmen at the Ploughing Match. The
rule is this, viz -
"ln all cases where premium may be awarded
to team for drawing, if driven by a minor-or
for poughing, il the plough is managed by mi
nor-said minor shall be entitled to a gratuity
equal to fifty per cent of the premium"
The rule adopted in the hope that it might
encourage some young man, some minor. The
first and second premiums, for ploughing with
double teams, were taken by minors.
We take this opportunity to make an acknowl-
edgment, which we omitted in our notice of the
exhibition, of our obligations to the officers OF
the society, particularly the President and Score.
tary, for their courtesy and attentions, by which
we were enabled, though laborng under indispo-

comparative ease and facility. That indisposi.
ton, aggravated by the abors of the day,
so that we quite unfit for further service on our
return home, must be our apology for the omis-
sion.

HELPING ONE ANoTHER-An Incident that
sOiU sUrUioe tbs Crssis.-We all but envy our
Saturday Evening contemporary of the Ga.
zette, that he should have anticipated us in
placing upon record one of the most pleasing
incidents of the week. Chickering & Sons,
the extensive piano forte makers, employ
some three hundred mechanics and many la
borers, and, as a matter of course, their week.
ly disbursements are large. On the last pay
day, in consequence of the non-arrival of
funds due at distance, they were obliged to
expend the funds in hand in the redemption
of matured paper, and consequently, had to
forego the pleasure of paying their hands
their accustomed weekly allowance. What
did the men do them Did they " strike p

tons expressing sympathy with and conf
dence in their employers, and rendering to
them loan of six or eight thousand dollars,
the proceeds of their own savings. There is
great deal of nobility in the conduct of the
men, so much of unselfshness and consider
ton, that one cannot but feel proud of our
species. This incident will survive the cri-

SToPFAeE OF THE MIDDLBsEx M1ILs.-The
Lowell Nesos says;-"It will be seen by card in
another place that in consequence of the failure
of Lawrence, Stone, & Co., of Boston, the Mid

shut down the gates. The company owns four
mills and three Lighthouses, running l6, $40 spin

though the mills have been very busy of late

BENToN's ABRIDGEMENT OF THE DEBATES OF
CoNeREss, from 1889 to 1856.
We have just received from d, Kimball & Co.,
of Providence, the fourth volume iof Col. Ben
tons great national work. Like its predecess.
ors, it is a large and handsomely printed volume
of $50 pages, royal Svo, with a copious index.
This volume commences in November, $685. and
extends to March 4, 1918, including, therefore,
the beginning Of the war OF 1872. In it we find
the speeches Of John G. Calhoun, Henry Clay,
the present Josiah Quincy, and others Of that
time, on the policy Of that war. We cannot zee
how any one, who intends to keep posted on the
history Of past politics in the country, can get
along without subscribing for a copy of this
''Abridgement Of Debates compiled as the ma.
terials are in form most convenient for refer
ence, and with details Of discussions and reports
of speeches sufficiently full to convey good idea
OF everything said and done.
We are glad to learn that the Messrs. Apple.
ton Of New York, who are the publishers of this
important work, are meeting with the success
which their enterprise deserves. Samuel ClouRh.
Of the firm Of D. Kimball & Co., is agent for this
county, and F. NJ. Peck for this city, of whom
copies may be obtained.

LeaT.In,ive Meeting in Harrisburg,

HARRISBURG, PA, Oct. 5-The town assum-
ed lively appearance today, owing to the arrival
of many members of the Legislature. There
will probably be a full quorum Of both houses in
attendance tomorrow morning. The message is
awaited with great deal of anxiety. Both
houses will meet at IL A. NJ 1t is thought that
the message will state the condition of the banks
and comment on the financial endorsements,
but make no recommendation in regard to either,
leaving it to the Legislature to devise the meas
ures of relief. 1t is doubtful whether anything
can be done for relief, as a small minority may
embarrass the majority to such an extent as to
defeat their measures

DOMESTIC MoLAssEs.-W While at Milville
last Saturday, we witnessed the process OF
making syrup, or moasses, from the Chinese
Sugar Cane raised in that village and vicinity
The canes were crushed between two iron
rollers in planning MILL aud half dozen
canes produced a stream Of juice nearly as
large as ones wrist. 1t ran like cider from
press Of apples. The rollers were not quite
heavy enough, and the canes were therefore
run through second time. The canes after
being pressed, as well as the leaves, are fed
to cattle and hogs.
We saw the syrup in process Of boiling on
the premises of Mr.. Collins Capron, who has
erected large sheet-ron set-kettle for the
purpose. 1t is necessary to boil the Juice
about ten hours, above steady Gre. The
syrup, in color and taste, much resembles
New Orleans molasses. For want of facili
ties, probably no attempt to make sugar will
be made hereabouts.- WoOHsocket Patriot.
STEAM ON COMMON RoADs.-A common
road locomotive, built by Mr.. Richard bud.
geon, of Goerck street has for several DAYS
been running in Grand street, Broadway,
and other thoroughfares Of the city of New
York, and has made trip to Harlem and
back. Its speed 10 about equal to the average
speed of horses in stages, and II seems to be
controlled with as much ease, and with more
certainty. The popular notions that horses
would be alarmed by snch vehicles, and that
they cannot ascend hills, on account of their
wheels slipping, are refuted by the perform
anoe of this engine, which has met with no
case Of difficulty of this nature, although II
has run fer a considerable part of several days
in crowded streets, followed by crowds Of
noisy boys.

A TALE OF HoRRoR.-The Baltimore Pat
riot relates shocking case of murder and
suicide in Ware county, Georgia, which
seems quite out of the limits of probability,
yet may be true. The statements are in brief,
that man named Adams was recently mar.
ried to Miss Jenkins, who had previously
engaged to marry another man by the name
of Harley, who threatened to be revenged if
she married Adams. On the 10th of Septem-
Der, Harley went to Adams's house, but
found no one at home except an old negress,
whom he knocked in the head with an axe,
after which he destroyed all the furniture
The next day Adams armed himself with
rifle and knife, and went in search of Harley,
whom he shortly encountered. Adams dis
charged his rifle at Harley, wounding his
arm; the two then clenched and a desperate
fight ensued, ending in the death of Adams.
Harley then carried Adamss dead body into
the presence of Mrs. Adams, who received
the murderer with shrek, and fell faintng
upon the corpse. Harley, weak and exhaust
ed, still had strength to draw his knife and
mutilate her face, and then ended the shock
ing tragedy by plunging it into his own
heart. The woman cannot recover.
