The Pa,ty-Thc Ball on Thursday evening
last on the opening of the Four Mile House to
the public, is spoken of by all the participants
as very pleasant affair. 1t was not in our
power to attend, though VIC confess to fond
ness for such meetings that generally carries
us of. We learn that Mr.. and Mrs. FINCH did
the honors in style that argues entire success
in the business which they have undertaken
The table prepared for the guests on the occa.
sion referred to must have been one of the
richest everest before McGregor public-we
come to this conclusion IRON the fact that Mrs.
Finch forwarded to our address on the next
day, one of the largest, most excellent and
most beautiful pyramidal Fruit Cakes that ever
astonislaed our eyes. We are very grateful to
the accomplished landlady of the New Hotel
for her kind remembrance.

Alamakee County, venerable Old School
Baptist, called on us last week and stated that
he will meet any orthodox minister who sus-

doctrine cannot be sustained by the Bible. If
this challenge be accepted time and place In

The Battle.
Reports from tho Congressional tourists are
flattcing to the success Of both gentlemen !!
Democratic correspondents say I.efingwell is
anNiaiilatiag vandever; and Republican writer's
assert with equal truth that Van is giving LEFT.
particular hts The style of keeping up the
courage of the rank and 6lc is allowable per-
haps and It looks bettar doubtless to him who
only reads his own sde but whore one has
an Opportunity tossee both statenents they are
calcuiatadt to amase. We occasionally see ar.
tieles in the columns Of orr Republican contcm-
rorario that unmisi akeahly tell that Letting
we'll is really carrying alarm into the ranks Of
the opposition. Below will be found q para
graph from the NEvArA correspondence Of the
Dubuque Times of the Goth. We think if the
Judge succeeds in his 'sstaking WY with the
people, he win take himself to Congress from
this district, unless the peopls.are confessed to
b psesat to vote without the iaakpctin
Of Republican file icaden. II he .sshss with
the PEOPLE" who else ought to DO or can be
elected Another evidence of alarm may be
seen in the fact that O'Conner, Kirkwood and
Hon. Tim Davis are called out to stay the
effects Of Lcfingwell's force As I debater and
his popularity as man. Here is the Nevada
confession
Judge Lefingwcll followed in speech of an
hour and . half, in which he made little effort
70 c0nfuse argument, and dwelt mainly On the
beauties OF squatter sovereignty. II must be
confessed that Left is possessed of qualities
that render him pleaca,a man upon the stump.
His gentlcmanly bearing and general agreea-
bleness are we'll calculated TO take with the
people, and in these respcas he is formidable
opponent. / could not but lament when he
was quoting from the writings Of Henry Clay
that he had not earlier and moro profoundly
availed himself of the wisdom of that eminent
statesman. whose fortune it was 10 be hunted
TO the grave by those who now hypocritically
make show of withdrawing his serulchrc.
My impression is that Left. might have been
uiefdl citizen in proper sphere, had he not so
basely prostiiuted his powers subserve unwor-
thy interests.

Gutenberg, Clayton Co., Iowa, July S, 1858.
To TIE Citizens Of Clayton County:
The time has when the law requires the County
Judge to make his Annual Report, showing the cond-
ton OF the finances Of the County. The discrepancies
between the former published Reports of the County
Judge and hi. account with the Treasurer In the Office
the inexpcabe want of either, to correspond with the
Reports Of the Treasurer le and the failure to find
in the Office OF the treasurer books showing the con
ton of the Treasury, all combine to attach air of
uncertainty, very embarrassing in making report Of
this character. ~ 80
However, after diligent and careful examination and
comparison, am Of opinion, that the inaccuracies Gf
any in the numbers used in this report, will not mate
rally very the result.

MonoaY Evening. Dec. II, 1858.
The week opens in money and exchange circles
under some depression. As regards the paper market
there were no transactions worthy Of recording The
offerings in bank were about s222 for discounts df-
rect Of exchange there was more offering to-day, and
thoughthe counter rate for checks on New York was
steady and apparently firm at 9 cent discount out
side double AL bills were obtanable at { dis. The
range Of the market for sight funds on NewYork was
from q and dis. They who have funds to in
vest can be accommodated at and between the above
figures to any amount Although the bank statement
this morning shows decrease in exchange that does
not signify that the rates Will advance because there
is large basis for exchange which will last for at
least sixty to seventy.ive days. At the same time,
Sterling Exchange will be well supported but not at
the figures which some drawers expect, say 100 a
1893. There is too much of the grand staple to 20
forward to expect there will be any deficiency in ex-
change; though the decrease in shipments Of bread
stus is large the falling of in imports of foreign
merchandise at all Northern ports must be CON
sidered
The movements to-day comprise sales at decline
from last weeks figures Clear Sterling sold at 1854
q l0s5. Bills with shipping documents at-IO73 an
1919 and los, with some prominent buyers retiring
from the market. For remittance direct the rates
were from 1893 a lO9 We did not learn of any
transactions in francs. They were dull at 5.233 a
5.lS4 There were some sales at late hour Of the
day. Sixty days on New York at u q IL to Il dis
count The market closing in favor of buyers all
round.
There was very little done in Stocks to-day. 500
shares Of Southern Pacific Railroad were sold at SO
cents, which indicates confidence in the under
taking as this is advance on the last street sales
The Directors of the Canal Bank to-day declared
dividend Of q cent out of the earnings of the last
six months, payable on Monday, the Sd of January,
to resident stockholders and in New York on the LIST

It will be observed that the movement shows an
increase for the week. and very sound one Oar
banks have something to expand on-that is, the
seasons BUSINESS is rapidly developing Contrast
our position with New York, where complaints are
general Of decline in business, beyond what gen
orally attends this season of the year. which has been
for years the period of general suspension of trade
in the same degree as the summer season in this CITY
1t will be seen that the banks of New York continue
to expand under the decline moreover, the line of
discounts is thirty millions i'll excess of the same time
last year. Their specie line is $1,3O0OO0 less than
this time last year. If they were governed by the
same system or under similar laws as those which
regulate banking in Louisiana that is, under one
general banking aw-they ought to have in vault over
thrtysix millions Of coin. If ruled as our chartered
banks, theywould require thirtynine millions Of
dollars in coin.
