September 7th, 1857.
MEssRs. EpIroRs Last week, one
of your papers found its way into our
little cottage. 1t has been thoroughly
persued can assure you and when
ever it reaches our dwelling, as is of
ten the case, it is always welcome
visitor. 1t is also the best paper of
its age have ever seen. am glad
to see the citizens of st. Charles stand
ing out firmly against intemperance.
| sincerely hope and pray you may
succeed in keeping your little town
cleansed from vice of all kind. But
while | approve of your decided stand
against intemperance and gambling,
l do not fully coincide with your idea
of female emigrating associations.
| think tho IYSlligencer is laboring
under great mistake, if it thinks tho
young ladies of the East would form
into an emigrating society for the sole
purpose of getting husbands. l do
not know but the ladies of the West
have adopted the rule Of proposing to
the young men, bnt we Eastern girls
think the old way the best. If we
are not worth seeking for, we are not
worth having.
Well, | will suppose your emigra-
ting association to be in operation,
and that fifty or hundred of us ladies'
go west, l would ask you how are we
to be protected and how disposed of?
Will the young gentlemen cast lots
for us, or shall we be set up at auction,
or some other way which the ingenui-
ty of man shall invent? do not ask
this question for my own benefit as l
am not yet out of my teens and do not
feel disposed to emigrate to the state
of matrimony at present But there
are those to whom information on this
point would be OF eaterest.
Respectfully,
ii. SEELY.

The PANIC ovER.-After three weeks

THE PANIC ovER.-Aiter three weeks
of intense pressure on the money mar
ket, tinanciers begin to see daylight
With an influx of specie from all
quarters to New York, and more COM
ing, commercial men are looking their
difficulties in the face, and they see
that the worst is over. The n. Y,
Tribune of the l4th inst, says:
The specie movement is active,
Philadelphia and the West are taking
some gold, while Boston and other
portions of the interior continue to send
to us. One bank received S75, 900 to-
day, and another $4,000 &c. This
movement will continue until the ex-
changes become more settled. 1t has
been a point Of considerable discussion
during the week, the actual amount of
the specie reserve in the city banks,
and it has generally been placed be-
tween $l2,0O0,000 and $4,000, 900.
In order to settle the point, we have
obtained FROM the banks the actual
amount on hand at the opening OF
business this morning, and find it to
be $l3,025, 900 This is actual, ex,
cepting the case Of few banks, OF
which the average Of last week was
taken. This result is at least half a
million better than we anticipated
and shows the banks with their re
duced loans to be in strong position
To this amount will be added, in 9
day or two a million and half from
California, bringing them up to $l4,
100000. while there is no prospect 0
animmediate resumption Of the foreigl
drain.

The recent bland and balmy eve

to their readers, Banks is bound to
be our next Governor, any how"
1t is believed that Mr.. Banks and
his supporters represent those who
have been reckless and extravagant
and have brought the state finances
into their present scandalous and un-
thrifty condition, and it was only the
vetoes of Gov. G.. that prevented the
state from becoming far more deeply
involved. In opening the vials Of
wrath upon Governor Gardner's head,
as some of the conductors of papers
once in his interest are doing, is to
call closer attention to his public acts,
to his bearing as a Governor, to his
honorable record as a public admins
traitor. When all around him appear
ed to be launching into unbounded ex-
travagance, he, with true hickory
pluck, interposed his vetoes. His
record, in his efforts to introduce
economy into affairs, entities him to
the approval Of the people of this Com
monwealth, and if he is again nomina-
ted, it will be seen that they will
again show their confidence in him by
giving him handsome support.
THE weather in this city is perfect
ly delicious-such as will fill the corn
fields with laughter, and rejoice the
heart of the farmer. The prospects Of
an abundant harvest, all over the
country, were never more hattering
than now. Everything indicates a
large reduction in the cost Of living,
for the year to come. Sugar and mo-
lasses are rapidly descending, while
the warehouses are glutted with
thousands of tons. The people of this
country have never exhibited better
temper since the destruction of tea in
this harbor, than in their persistent
refusal to purchase these articles at
the prices set upon them by specula-

NOR THE rapid cure of Coughs, Colds
IL Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough,
Asthma and Consumption, is universally known
as the best remedy ever yet discovered for every
variety of Pulmonary disease. So wide is the
of its cures that almost every section of the
country abounds in persons publicly known,
who have been restored from alarming and even
desperate diseases of the lungs by its use
When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to es-
cape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what an
tidote to employ for the distressing and dan
gerous affections of the pulmonary organs
which are incident to our climate. By its
timely use many, nay almost all attacks of
disease upon the Lungs or throat, are arrested
and thus are saved many thousands every year
from premature grave. No family should
be without it, and these who do neglect to pro-
vide themselves with a remedy which wards off
this dangerous class of diseases will have cause
to deplore il when it is too late. Proofs of the
surprising efficacy of the Cherry Pectoral need
not be given to the American people, they
have living proofs in every neighborhood. But
those who wish to read the statements of those
whose whole health has been restored and
whose lives have been saved by its Use, will
find them in my American Almanac which the
agent below named has to furnish gratis for
every one.

evenings since, paying his respects to
neighbours melon patch, passed the !
school house on his return. Seeing a
light within and concluding bust
ness meeting of some kind had con-
vened he deposited the melons he had
in his arms in secure place and went
in. Taking a seat he turned his at
tention to the speaker when he caught
these words of hymn
- In thy name, o Lord assembling,
We, thy people, now draw near
In view of the act he had a few
moments before committed he conclu-

give prayer meetings wide berth
