PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16, 1858.
EDITORS PATRIoT:-Dear Srs:--In looking
over your issue of the 5th inst, saw piece
beaded. Great Trotting-The best Time ever
made" copied from the N. Y. Times. / have
taken the liberty tocorrect this assertion.
The race was made as test of speed for
the championship of trotting stations. and
was won by ETHAN Allen" dstancing his
competitor. -'GEO. NJ PATCHEM." a stallion
of some fame as trotter in New jersey
You are correct in saying the time made was
2:2S, but this is not the fastest time on record
by many second. Flora Temple. the Queen
of the turf, fthe Trot;ing Turf has made the
fastest mile ever trotted. Her time was
2:241 She has repeatedly come within 2:2s.
as have Lancet, Lantern, Tacony and several
other trotters long dead.
ETHAN AAllen'so time is the best stallion
time, as he is one of the best stations; but
he will have to improve it to contend with
Flora Temple" or Lancet, either.
The N. Y. Times. from whom ! see. you have
clipped this little bit of news. flor news it is
to me as well as to everybody else who knows
anything about trottingl Should have known
better than that. 2:2s the best time! 1t
shocks my nerves to think that New York
paper should have to be corrected in a matter
so near home. too. by a native of the village
of Philadelphia. What is the world coming
to?
Hoping l have not intruded too far upon
your valuable time. Twill now conclude. VIII
you please give this an insertion. and oblige
a friend? JUSTICE.

Too Soon.

The Republican Banner appears TO think
that the call for a Convention ON the 22nd II
February i too early 10 bring out our candi-
date for Governor. We think il Is none too
soon. Indeed We believe ~e suffered loss la
the last canvass in not having onr candidate
before the people earlier than we did. Mr..
Hatton was brought out three months before
the election, and there was not time then 10
visit all parts OF the ; ate. Many Of the
small z couaties aud some OF the large ones
were not reached. Aud such was the pr -
aud fatigue Of the candidates, having 10 lrav-
Il 20 or % miles day. besides speaking TWO
or three hours for three months, that their
physical abilities were, in a manaer. prustra-
led
If the State Is 20 BE- eanvassed, as Is now
the custom. let the candidates be out in time.
We should think that Eve months is none too
much t. bring them aud their claims fairly
before the people. We can see no harm like
ly To result from it.-Csokrals T'mss.

New Orleans, jackson and Great
Northern abroad.

Mr.. J. CALHOUN, the president of this road,
has communicated statement Of the condi-
ton of the road. TO the Governor of Mississip-
pi, which is most fattering. One million six
hundred thousand dollars of the floating
debt" of the road has been paid since the Ist
of last April, leaving about $240, 900 unpaid.
The statement concludes with:
"The business Of the road is at present rnost
satisfactory, with every indication of a steady
increase. The average daily receipts of cotton
alone are over twelve hundred bales and the
outward freights are CORES pondingly heavy.
The earnings Of the road in October were
$S4. 1888 and the estimated earnings for
this month (November) are Sl2O0OO. The
paym mt of our debt, and the fourishing con-
dition of the road have placed the company
in an enviabie position in point of standing
and credit; and nothing conld offer a stronger
contrast than the Great Northern Railroad
Company of April. 1858, and the Great
Northern Railroad Company of to-day.
We clip the following from the Aberdeen
Mississippi Sunny South, which indicates that
the road will be pushed on to completion to
that place. From Mt. Pleasant to Aberdeen
Is only about 125 miles, which being built

tory of the y. o.. j. & G.. n. Railroad have

agent for the Road North of Canton If there
Is one above others eminently befitted for the
successful discharge of the duties assigned
him that man il B. B. BARKER. His energy
il untiriug, and his perseverance in good
cause unremitting. As popular speaker. he
has no superior in the S ate, and if the dis
semination Of facts. and an intelligent COM
prehension and discussion of the question is
all that is necessary to secure a large sub
scription. the Directory will at an early day
have sufficient funds with which to push on
the enterprise.--We are satisfied that an in
telligent discussion of the question will
secure the highest expectations of the Dir
ectory. The people along the line from this
city to Canton need only be informed. No
people then will more readily respond to the
demands of the enterprise"

An HONEST CoNFEssION.-T Cincinnati
Commercial, in considering the effect of the
bred Scott decision, makes very frank adj
mission of the reason why the North opposes
slavery, in the following paragraph:
"There is not a single State in the Union,
whose collective morals are potent enough.
eff ctuallv to resist the introduction of slaves.
provided it could appear to the general sails
fiction, the act would be. in an economical
point of view, profitable. Make the posses
sion of a few negroes source of wealth. and
the scrupl would disappear as rapidly as the
figures in a phantasmagoria,. and cOnscien-
cious qualms would only be remembered to
be derided. 1t is fortunate for us that the
question of freedom or slavery does not de-
pend upon simply the moral sense of the COM
nunity; but upon something in its character
ar more reliable. We do not mean by this,
with Mr.. Seward, that the people 10y tn mere
rope of the profits growing ont of slavery
would bp seduce1 and permit themselves to be-
come dem0raIlzod, but simply that wben-if it
ever does-the question comes up to them in
its economical aspects. they will speedily dis
cover, as all slave-hOlding communities have
done before Them that there is no moral ele-
ment i'll the NATTER

CarIyIe's Frederick the Great.


From the Saturday Reries0, (London,) Oct. %.
With patient industry only less remarkable than
his creative power, he has produced work which,
in addition to higher qualities, is as amusing as Wa
verify novel, and as accurate German mono
graph.
From ne Nesg Fork Times Nor. 5h, 1851
His 'sIIfe Of Frederick the Great has long been
eagerly anticipated and that has been publish
ed is seized upon with much avidity though IL
were a new novel by b. liver or Dickens. .
There is abatement Of the old Carlylean strength,
or humor quaintness, with which the reading world
is already familiar. which many have tried in
vain to initiate. and which s,ill remains unique and
impossible to all but their inventor and master.

II the two volumes which are To succeed shall equal
the two which We have read. CarIyle's Lif, Of Fred
erick the Great be regarded as his greatest work
The author has exploreda field which has never been
inieileently and thoroughly traversed by eompe-
tent historian, and the historical resurrec.
ton Of scenes and persons in the eighteenth century
which few readers were prepared to anticipate.

No labor can be compared To tie literary toll, Of

OF the richness Of sfr. aryIe's book in armIy-
drawn and vivid pictares OF men and things-or its
fantastic humor and rugged manly pathos, no idea
can be gathered except from its own pages. .
There is one characteristic Of Mr.. Carlyle's which
rises him above the level OF all contemporary hsto
human life and Of the universe ia which placed is
absent from him In his dealings with the Gin
