Accommodations OF Wealth.

We made some remarks few days ago on
the power of wealth to add to its own stores.
We have since met with the statement that
o1e-haf of all tie taxable property in ProvI-
dence, Rhode Island, "a city Of $4,000 inhabi-
tants) belongs to one hundred and segentyJirs
persons. And this concentration of wealth in
a few hands has not been made by fortunate
t.ade, nor by any lucky fortuitous circum-
stances, but by the steady growth Of wealth
by interest, unaided by any remarkable skill
or enterprise in the use of it; but simply by
carefully outstanding capital and attending to
its own growth. None of these one hundred
and seventy-fiv persons have ever been con-
spicuous as business men, but were known as
plodding capitalists. In all our commercial
cities, the same great disparity will appear
the concentration of more than half the wealth
of the whole community will be found in the
hands Of few hundred men, who draw into
their vaults good share of the earnings Of
the million, by interest and rents. There arc
but very few persons who are at all impressed
with a conviction of the power Of property to
accumulate at compound interest 1t is
strikingly illustrated in the following table
which exhibits what the daily saving of tbs
most trifing sum will amount to, in the course
of a life time, calculated at compound inter
est. Its publication may induce some usefa
reflection with those who have not given at
tention to subjects of the kind:

ntion to subjects of the kind:

1t will be seen that a saving of 2lj5 cents
per day by any person, from the age of twenty
to seventy years, or from fifteen to sixty five
years, will amount, with interest to two
thousand dollars and saving Of 271a cents,
will amount, in the same time, to the sum of
twenty nine thousand dollars. A picayune
4aid by daily for fifty years, will give an az
gregate sum Of seven thousand dollars, the
price Of good farm. One dollar day, careful
ly invested at six per cent, will give its owner
q fortune Of one hundred and sixteen thousand
dollars, if he begins at 81 and dies at 70 years
Of age. These facts illustrate the power of
capital to accumulate, and the value of econo-
my, and shows how it is that the careful
manager of his means outstrips the bold and
apparently successful operator in the race of
wealth.

(LF The accidents from fire, resulting from
the present style of dress among the ladies
have become SO frequent as to produce much
alarm. Our readers will remember. the death
Of Mrs. Judge Daniels of Washington, publish
ed few weeks since in the JOURNAL. We
observe daily notices Of such accidents in our
exchanges, attended with more or less serious
consequences. We have heard Of several con-
flagratioas Of dresses in our city and vicinity,
where the escape ofthe wearers was most for
tunate and providential. In these cases the
flames were well underway before they were
felt in the interior Of the comic balloon, and as
they usually begin in the rear were not per-
ceived till felt. The risks have greatly in
creased during the severe cold weather, and
we warn our fair readers to be on their guard,
or diminish the exposure. Three fatal acct
dents of the kind have occurred in Paris, the vic
Tins Of which were all reigning bellies in fash
ionable society.

" In the obstinate struggle now pending

feat the election of United States Senators, the

huences. In the stand they have taken, it is

there be no ground-to impeach the motives, nor
doubt the integrity of the party. noble, up

those who now represent the party, will re-
animate it, give it new strength and influence
with the people, who will grant it new COM
mission to resume it's glorious mission. The
destiny of the party, in this State, is now in
the hands Of its little band Of Senators. By
their inconsiderate acts we may be shorn Of
our moral strength, or by their frmness, and
disinterested devotion to the interests of the
State and duty, the party may gain the
strength, with the people, to put down all un-
principIed factionists and demagogues.

BosToN AND THE WESTERN TRADE.-The
lines Of steamships from New York to New
Orleans, have given the former city so much
the advantage, by facilities in the despatch of
freight to the Southwest via New Orleans that
the Boston people have been made to feel the
necessity Of some exertions to countcract
these advantages Of her rival. They are ia
king steps to establish fast line Of steam
ships from Boston to New Orleans to connect
with line of river steamers to st. Louis. It
is said that freight from New York to St.
Louis i, on an average fourteen day, in tran
sit on the railroads at cost of 500 per ton.
BY fast line Of propellerS to New Orleans,
and good line up the river, goods could be
delivered at St. Louis from Boston in the
same time as now 10y railroad at freight OF
Sl7 per ton. When the Florida railroad
shall be completed the time of transportation
from New York and Boston to New Orleans,
will be reduced one half, and ten days may
suffice to deliver freight from Boston to ST.
Louis by sea- The great uncertainty in re-
gard to the time Of getting goods Via New
Orleans has been the chief objection to ship
ping from the East to the West by the sea
route. Certainty and a reduction Of time
wonid restore a great deal Of the freighting
business to old route by sea and river.

travelling on foot, of respectable appearance
called at farm house near Xenia in Ohio,
one evening last week, where he was enter

himself, evinced some cccentricities Of conduct
which alarmed the inmates, and they refused
to let him remain for the night. lie left, and
in the morning some of the neighbors found
money and clothing scattered along the road
and following the trail, the body of the unlor-
tunate man they had seen the evening before,
was found in the woods stark naked, much
lacerated and frozen stiff. 1t is supposed the
man was insane, and in a paroxysm of fury,
had torn off his clothes, and wounded himself
by running through briars and bushes. The
amount of money in bank notes, which was
picked up along his track was about $500;
besides this, there was considerable sum in
gold. The body was taken to Aenia the same
day, and deposited in the vault of the cemetery
to await the coming Of his friends,

The AMERICAN PARTY IN TENNESSEE do
not deem the late Presidential election, test
Of their strength in the State. 1t was not a
verdict upon the principles Of the party, for
thousands of devoted Americans, alarmed by
the apparent strength Of the Republicans, who
were in their view abolitionists, voted with
the Democrats as the only means to defeat
Fremont. Those fears are past, and in the
next State elections no issues Of the kind can
arise, and the party is putting on its armour
with valiant spirit for the coming contest
The Knoxville Wing gives the following warn
ing to the Democracy:
The American party in Tennessee, give
their opponents timely notice that they will
present candidates for Governor, for Congress
and for the Legislature, and that they will
contest every inch of ground. They are not
dead nor are they sleeping. Nor do they con-
slider the vote for the Presidency, which

The UNIoN.-GOv. Pollock Of PenUSylva-
ma, in his recent Message, utters the follow
ing patriotic sentiments:
The Union of the States, which constitutes
us one people, should be dear to you, to every
American citizen In the heat and excite
ment Of political contests; in the whirl Of sec
tional and conflicting interests; amid the
surging Of human passions, harsh and dis
cordant voices may be heard threatening its
integrity and d2nouncing its doom; but in the
calm, sober second thought Of 4 patriotic and
yirtuous people will be found its security and
defence.
Founded in wisdom and cherished by the
intense affection Of pure and devoted patriot
ism, it will stand, safe and undiSturbed, amid
the insane rage of political demagoguism ard
the ftful bowling Of frantic ianatcsm; and
when it falls, if fall it must, it will be when
! liberty and truth, patriotism and virtue, have
persisted. Pennsylvania tolerates no senti-
mcnt Of disunion; she knows not the word
| Disunion "Iis an after thought-a mon
s'lous wish-unborn till virtue dies The
Union and the Constitution safeguard
and bond Of American nationalty-will be re
vercd and defended by every American free
. man who cherishes the principles and h)nors
the memory of the illustrious founders Of the
Republic!
Recognising our responsibility to Him V he
controls the destinies Of nations and Of men
and invoking His blessing on your dclibera-
tions, may order and harmony characterize
your sessions, and, with single reference tC
the public good, may your legislative action
in its character and results, promote the hap
: piness and welfare of the people and the hon
or and prosperity of the Commonwealth.
