The NATURE AND USES OF MONEY AND MIXED
CURRENCY, with History of the Wickaboag
Bank. By Amasa Walker Boston Crosby
Nichols, & Co. Svo, PIP. SO
Mr.. Walkers pamphlet upon the currency, of
which we give the title above, has been for some
days upon our table, and after careful reading,
we can say that it is worthy the perusal Of every
thinking man in the community. We were about
to prepare a notice commenting it to the atten.
ton Of our readers, when our eye fell upon the
following just criticism in that eminently conser.
vative journal, the Boston Courier, which we
transfer to our columns;
Mr.. Amasa Walker is a gentleman whose
honesty and sincerity no one doubts but in the
minds Of many persons his name is associated
with schemes of reform more specous than safe,
and with dreams Of human perectibility which a
practical acquaintance with life rudely disturbs
But let no such men be prevented by any person.
al prejudice tr"m reading this pamphlet, which is
the contribution of a careful and conscientious
student OF political economy, towards the solu-
ton of the perplexing questions which now hang
over the business world. Whether Mr. Walkers
views be assented TO or not, no one can pronounce
them crude or hastily considered No one can
deny that this pamphlet contains the results Of
much reading and reflection, conveyed in an at
trActye form. His style is clear and his faculty
OF illustration quite happy; and his kndness Of
temper is shown in his abstinence from sarcasm,
bitterness. and denunciation. in combating doc.
trines which he deems erroneous
The main purpose Of Mr.. Walkers pamphlet is
to point out the dangers and evils Of paper cur
rency that is capable OF indefinite ex pansi0n and
the discussion of this point involves pretty full
consideration Of the nature and essence of money.
The last thirty pages are occupied with the hsto.
ny Of a certain imaginary bank, in which his doc.
trines are enforced by narrative Of the evils re.
Hultlnq from the NEGLECT of them in n nolo In
stance This is well told, and not without some
| CLEANS Of humor.
Mr.. Walker would probably dscaim with great
earnesiness the reproach Of being conservative
in politics. but he will permit US to say, that we
regard MS views on currency and fnanee-with
reasonable qualifications and limitatiops--as de-
| cidedy conservative and safe and as such we
| commend them 10 the nnhlin repnrdn

The Big Sell.

Several of the papers that circulate in
this vicinity, have re-published an account
of the raising from the grave the decayed
and putrid remains of lady, by the power
of the spirits. Some simple gulls have been
badly sold by it. The State journal says
of it:
The whole affair was headed az les giba,'

New York, Aug. T.

NEW YORK, Aug. IN
Mr.. Peter Cooper, President Of the Allan
tic Telegraph Company, tclegraphed to Mr..
Field on Thursday, stating that they were
very anxious to know if the Agamemnon
had landed the cable. Mr.. Field replied
that the cable had been successfully pass

before we can know anything more definite
about the success of the enterprise.
Mr.. Cooper himself has no doubt of the
fact that the cable has been successfully
laid to both coasts, as telegraphed by Mr..
Fields.
The following despatch has been received

Bsg~ Business on the Z. L C. r. R. seem:

BSE~ Business on the Z. & C. r. r. seems
to have revived considerably. While other
roads are being stopped by unpaid employ
eeS, and interrupted by executions, our road
under the present efficient managers is do
ing well. Within the past week the en-
ployees of the Terre Haute & Alton road
have stopped the trains because the company
was not able to pay them, and the Marietta
and Central Ohio roads have been obliged to
give up part of their rolling stock to pay
their debts. The passenger business on the
Evansville & Charlottesville road the past
week has been unusually good, the prospect
for heavy Fall freight business was never
more encouraging.

Convention at Princeton.

Republican Convention at Prime ton.
The Indianapolis Journal makes the fol-
lowing sensible comments upon the aban-
onment Of the proposed Republican Conven-
ton at Princeton.
We learn, from good authority, that the
proposed Convention of Republicans TO be
held at Princeton, on the ! 5th inst, to con-
slider the propriety of nominating a Repub-
licah candidate for Congress against both
Hovey and Niblack, has been finally aban-
doned, and the whole opposition force Of the
District will unite on Mr.. Hoyey. We
need hardly say that we are glad our friends
in that District have so decided. II is true
Mr.. 1Iovey holds views in which no Repsb-
lican can concur, and that he has been FAITH
er obtrusive in his declarations of fidelity to
the Cincinnati Platform, but in his maniul
resistance TO the extreme pro-slavery policy
of the President, and in the persecution
that followed that resistance, we have such
an assurance of hostility to the usurpations
of slavery rs will make him fit to be trusted
on that issue.
If ever a new Lecompton contest comes
and it may come at any timc-in which
slavery shall demand not only the advanta-
ges of laws unjustly made to propagate it,
but of its own violations of those laws, Mr.
Hovey, we feel confident, will be found on
the side of Freedom He is doubtless far
more disposed to view the professions of
slavery to extension and establishment by
national laws, leniently, than Republicans,
but we think events have so worked togeth-
er for the good of Freedom that henceforth
slavery can gain nothing over what she now
holds without wrong and violence And
against these Mr.. Hoyey would be found on
the right side. II is true that we appear to
be gaining very little, and indeed asking
nothing but what a sense of duty would
compel any man Of any party to give, in
getting a mau who only resists wrong, vio-
Ience perjury and fraud, used to extend
slavery; but the late session of Congress.
the course of the party, and the records of
VIM. II. English, VIM. E. Niblack, James
Hughes, James N. Gregg and J. B. Foley,
prove that a genuine Lecompton is ready to
approve any iniquity that looks to the ben
eft of slavery.
We would wager life that the next Con-
gress does not pass away without some new
demonstration of fraud, or force by pro-
slavery advocates, and of course the Demo-
cratic party will acquiesce. II is nothing
to have, instead of a man who will acquiescc
and aid in the wrong, one who will resist it,
even if he does nothing more? This, we
think, our friends will gain in Mr.. Hovey,
and therefore we think they have decided
wisely in deciding to support him. If there
was reasonable hope of electing Repub-
lican, it would be different; but as the case
stands Tovey will be a thousand times bet
ter than Niblack and one or the other must
be elected.

Our Fire Department.

Every one present at the late fire on Sec
-Ond street, must have been gratifed at the
promptness with which the fire companies
repaired to the spot and the efficiency with
which the firemen fought the flames. The
men composing the Fire Department of
this city are equal to any similar organ
ization elsewhere, and with good machines,
the city would be well guarded against
serious connagration. We have four fire
engineS-not including the two juvenile
companies-one of which is entirely use
less, and two others are old and not to be
relied upon. The fact that the Young
America and Washington engines have
heretofore been serviceable, is owing
to the efficiency and perseverance of the
companies rather than the excellence of the
machines. WHAT'S needed, is thorough
rcfitting of the department. Let the Wash
ington, Young America and Neptune be
sold or given away and furnish each of
these companies with machines similar to
the one now used by the Union company
The execution of the latter company at the
last fire was universally noticed, while near
by stood the Neptune, the brakes not taken
down, and the company to whom the ma
chine belonged, assisting their more fortu-
nate brethren. Within the past ten years
enough money has been expended in re-
pairing the Neptune and Young America to
have purchased three or four good machines.
They should have been abandoned long
since by the city. We insist upon it. that
our fire companies are worthy of first class
machines. Not year passes but they are
instrumental in saving 10 the city and individ-
uals, thousands of dollars, and vet they la
Dor under disadvantages, which would dis
courage men less brave and less persevering.
Will the City Council not take this matter.
into serious consideration? Will not our
citizens sustain the Council in their CO urse ?
If the firemen who have expressed their de-
sire to see the Department newly equipped
viii merein the matter, success is certain.

Dan RIcE's TRAINED CAMEL KILLrn-
Dan Rice's trained Camel was killed on
Friday last. The company was going from
Brazil to Greencastle, and as the elephan
and camel which were chained together,
were crossing bridge, about nine miles
from the latter place, they broke through.

and found footing for one of his legs, and
so saved himself by main strength, climbing
upon the firm part of the work but the
poor camel swung by his side when he
