PHILAp., April s, 1858.

! AAPiA ", 1SoS.
The Spring Trade, here, seems not re-
vlved. Hundreds of stores are to let
The rents of others are reduced, in many
cases one third and one half; and mer-
chants are coming to clear computation
Of their late losses.
The religious movement shows no signs
of abatement. Seventeen day prayer
meetings, are held in different parts of the
city, in large and small halls, churches
and vestries-all full. The meeting at
Jayne's Hall, is removed to Sansom street
Baptist church, as the most central and
capacious because the Hall had been en-
gagged, year ago, by an orphan asylum,
for great fair to be held for q week or
ings. They are conducted in the same
manner as all other prayer meetings that
1 have known, except that the prayers
and exhortations are shorter. Many min.
listers attend, and always take part, more
or less. Great as is the size of SAMSON
street church, it is entirely flled-women
constituting about one fourth Of the audi
ence, and sitting on the outside seats.
The singing is led by some one, here aud
there; and such singing! 1t is like the
sound of many waters No choir is want
ed when the people feel and worship.
The late law, which forbids Banks in
Pennsylvania to divide more than three
per cent. every six months, is working q
great reduction in the income of many
widows, and public institutions, whose
funds are so invested.
A grand improvement in our city is
the introduction Of passenger railroads.
In no other city is the plan so perfect.
In no case, can two cars meet. A single
track is laid in the street, and all the cars
run one way. For instance, in 9th ST.
all run up town, and in 9th st. all run
down town. Thus no one is likely to be
run over, while looking one way, by a
car coming up on the other.
Your old friend, CIT.

MAGIC MIRRORS.

A fair young child, with heart Of glcc
Stands prattling by its mothers knee,
And as her eyes reflect the smile
Frightening her darling's face the while,
ooh, mother dear the cherub cries,
81 see baby in your eyeS!'
The mother stoops and playfully
Raising the infant TO her knee,
Gazes within the azure deepS
Where joys bright meaning never sleeps
A pale, sad ,C0man she deScrieS,
Out-sazins from the baby's eyes.
"Ah! eyes tell TRUTH she sighs at last
"four's speak your jnturs-mine my past
For in your radiant orbs see
A prophecy of days 10 be,
And in my own dimmed eyes appears
A glimpse OF childhood's vanished years."

na-The pretended extracts from the
Herald of Freedom, stating that the peo-
pie of Kansas are willing to have the Le-
compton Constitution, are base .toryeries,
got up for effect. The people of Kansas
were never moro hostile to Slavery, or
more united, than now. 1t is said the
drilled militia, under Gen. Lane, number
$4,000 to $1,000.

per.y is all advertised at Sherif's sale,
filling several columns in small type of
Danville papers. "Hurra for Polk and

There are sereniy-one Sheriff Sales ad-
vertised in the last Luzerne Union, fill

The Pittsburg Union has, in one issue,

looks as though they had seen something
of the hard times in the Iron City.

l@-There is much vexation and troub-
lc occasioned from the absence Of any
Bank whose notes are AT PAR not only in
all the States of this Union, but through.
out the civilized world. We recently re-
ceiyed a s. Dayton Bank note from Gin
cinna,ti, marked 20 per cent discount on
the seaboard, and unavailable here except
at that loss to Us. 1t was currency at
Cincinnati, and We sent it back to be ex-
changed for Pennsylvania note A
Pennsylvania note could not be had, but
q better-passing Ohio note was with some
difficulty obtained. This is an every day
illustration of the manner in which the
fruit Of labor is eat out for want Of q Ma
tlonal Paper Currency.

The Burning Record !

hH-Every Member Of Congress from
the Free States, who voted against the
fair and equitable aud lawful provisions of
the Crittenden- Montgomery Kansas ad-
mission bill, We solemnly believe knows
that in SO doing he violated the wishes Of
his constituents, and We hope and trust
seals his political death-warrant. Penn
sylvania is especially disgraced by traitors
to her principles. Dewart, it is stated,
was sent for by the President, who gave
him his own royal hand, fattered him
rs full as he could hold, and then implor-
ed him to stand by the Administration
the "frst Pennsylvania President"-assu-
ring him that rejection of the Lecomp-
ton bill would be a condemnation Of the
sacred person of the venerable James, and
might lead to the retirement Of his pre-
cious slave holding cabinet! Whatever
may have passed between them, aided by
the counsels of Bigler, it is certain Will
reccded from the manly stand he took at
first, and has lost the confidence Of all.
Strict justice will be meted out if every
Member who voted against Lecompton
be sustained by all the Anti-Lccompton-
ties, aud all who voted for that fraud be
sent to "the shades "-@a

Attention Rummer.,

In spirit of kindness toward a very inof-
fensive but very indolent and "shiftlsss"
class Of persons, known to the law as vag-
rants, and recognised by the community
generally as "bummers" and 'fddlebappers,'
and as Offering them an opportunity to evsde
the labors and yexations incident to a high
private position in the chain gang, we here
by announce that we haze heard that it is
whispered about in certain circles, that those
guardians of our peace, the town police, will
henceforth arrest such persons as they are
led to believe so behave themselves as TO
come within the provisions of the Vagrant
Act. Now if our advice is not too intrusive,
We suggest to any bummers, fddlebaggers
or vagrants that may be among us, that tsey
Immediately, "abandon, which in the vulgar
is, leave'-which in the modern yernacular
is "git," which to them all, each and singu.
lar, is intended to convey the suggestion to
"vamose" hence without delay, or you be.
come liable to be drafted into the corps of
sappcrs and miners, according to a Statute
of this commonwealth made and provided
II this advice fails to meet the appreciation
Of our friends, the luncheaters, We will ven
ture to suggest another plan which might
also be adopted upon the principle laid down
in tho maxim. "of two evils, choose the
least" which we quote as applicable to the
presumption that the prospect of labor in the
chain gang is staring them in the face This
other plan is, that you, oh Fiddlebaggers,
at once adopt some means of support visible
to the naked eye. Labor in the mines saw,
chop or split fire wood, or maul' fence
rails or, friends and bummers, ana ale in the
streams, or hunt, or obtain an appointment
in the Custom house. This last might be
adopted when all else has failed it is in fact
n derhier resort, and although it might and
probably would exempt you from the clutch
es of the Vagrant law, yet position in the
Customs is rather "misseblo" than "visi-
ble' means Of obtaining livelihood, and is
altogether too much and too painfully the
place where even now we'll dressed specimens
of your sort most do congregate, and as you
know. it isn't advisable to crowd such crib
too full.
In conclusion We will merely calculate !;
rouse, rally bummors, your direst enemies
are ''camped upon your trail"
