operatiyes are measurably suspended, many are
ont Unemployment and it is impossible Tor them
to nay their bills, and We really fear that we
shall experience quite heavy loss 10 our
country friends we look to supply the deticien-
cy in our receipts, and we trust that We shall
not be disappointed. Those who attend our
markets receive large amount ofready money
selling everything at bigh-rate for cash, ana
they should not suffer greed for gain to cause
them to omit their annual visit to the printer
for the purpose of paying mp. we nope ta's

to learn the lessons taught by misfortune
fore in the financial revolution that has fallen upon
US let every one think as much and deeply as he
pleases With reference 10 its cause, aud out OF the
chaos of theories good, bad Orindiferent there may
possibly grow nm approximation to better anu
more secure state of things. But il is not with the
cause of our Troubles, hut their consequences ha'
our purpose at present has to do Whatever tue
former may have been, the latter aIe In no wise
mitisated thereby; and the necessity OF mtetpg
than ia pIecisely the 1t is best not to under
a.. an evii tits wisest to examine |: conlly when
,se can do 80 and take fair of Its proper
tions, and then make our preparations to meet IT.
The oopyicton forces itself upon all, that the pre-
SAINT winter will BIO one of uncommon, perhaps IN
ureccdented suffering. The necessities of lite may
be abundant but their distribution will be immense
Nv retarded by the lack Of means to purchase them
Never before has there been so many persons I'M
employed, and for the present, hopeless'y SO CONS
paratiyely fow of them have sufficient means to sus'
tain themselves through the long winter, and the
question presses itself upon with startling lorcei
t,What is to be donel' This much rs stitan, they
must not be allowed to starve in the midst Of plenty
but unless they receive relief in some way this dire
consequence must take place
There is much 10 be done, and much will be doue
Hearts and hands without limit will stretch iUrth
aid as far as they able, and much, very much
suffering will be thus relieved but alas much
very much will still remain unrelieRed
In this emergency we put the question TO our
benevolent men. Is there no way OF systematiziug
benevolent operations that the purpose of drawing
forth their utnost strength and using them most
efiectualy and economically may be reaehed =
Immense waste must result from multitudineus in
dependent Efforts whereas by well dgested system
of relief, not only the may be saved, but cases
Of suffering reached which might otherwise remain
utterly unknown.
We hope our citizens will think over thia matte
and give their conclusions to the public. Gu
columns are open and We invite communications o
the subject
We have been kindly favored with the to
lowing extract from letter just received fro
young and promising Delawarian of this cit
on board the U s. ship Wabash, on the
tellieence at Aspinwall of the loss Of the O.
trail America.

The Central America went along like thing

The loss of the Central America has cast
deep gloom over our entire ship, and seems
