A Brief History of Four Bank Clerks.

4 writer in the New York Tribune states
thatin tn" winter of 1854 5, four young bank
clerks used to meet for euchre playing alter
nately at their residences in Brook yn.-
These meetings continued pleasantly for Il
while. the party keeping earl hours, and
no gambling being allowed. \ year later
the party was not re-organIzed, and met
accidentally on Christmas eve. at n rat
lie in Brooklyn. The downward path was
Already entered upon. The results sum
up as follows Dne of the young men
j. travelling in Europe, his bondsmen hav-
ing paid 5000 for him. in which sum
he was in default at the bank where be
WAS employed. Another is in Sing Sing pri
son for forgery. The third is Oscar > Field,
the recent dciaultcr in Brooklyn. and now
wandering with the mark Of Cain upon his
brow-the murderer of his own Peace and
of the happiness Of his family. The fourth
communicates these facts, and concludes his
story thus:
And as the latter east, a glance over the
past. shudder creeps through his frame as
he thinks over the fate Of his companions. and
thanks mercitul God that saved him from
the abvs, into which ne had almost plunged
himself.
There were other bank clerks among the
party, and ere long their defalcations must
come to light, for they have been possessed Of
sums which they could not have come By
honestly

A DUTY to Organize.

The following remarks of the Nicksburg
Wing are as good for this latitude as for that
of Mississippi. They are good for all the
ATTITUDES in this Union. They convey II les
son of wisdom eminentIy instructive in the
present crisis 70 the Wings Of Virginia we
say, they must work-they must organize
they must tight''-if they expect to defeat
the democracy CHIpeper ObSerrer.
Our vicksburg contemporary addresses it
self ''To the Opposition ir Mississippi" and
says:
We have in previous articles, set forth,
the necessity of the opposition to the present
dominant party in Mississippi, organizing,
without delay, and preparing to make anoth-
or attempt to throw of the incubus OF De-
mocracy which now rests upon our State
The majority against Us in this State is less
by several thousand than the ma ority in
other States, where the work Of organization
has already been effected. In awell contest
ell canvass the Democracy have never been
able to command more than five or six thou
sand majority l. this sufficient to induce US
to fold our arms and yield the field to the vie
tDrs without ever again c)niesting it? IT'S
not thus the Democracy have won their tri-
umphs. In Kentucky, Tennessee, North Car
Dina, Louisiana, Georgia, and other States,
they triumph because they never let defeat
intimidate them. Had our party shown the
same 'pluck' we would have power in the
nation still 1t is only by keeping up an
organisation, adhering iixcdly and unhinch-
ingly to principle. and contrasting ere'y elec-
tim, that we can ever hope to succeed. OF
one thing we may rest assured if we stand
by supinc Y, refuse to organize, and put a
ticket in the field. we will always remain de-
fcated. 1t is idle to expect party to form
itself win victory, and take us in. We must
work-we must organize-we must fight
Meet the Democracy at every point, contest
every inch of ground, and if we fall, rise
again beaten but not onqucred-defeated
bot not dismayed" This is true blue "

Steam on Canals.

The New York Courier and Enquirer says
that active measures have been taken IN
France. Scotland and Sweden, to Introduce
steam on canals, and that the British govern
ment has interviewed to promote the interests
of commerce by encouraging the construction
of steam vessels, for interior communication.
In France the business of the canals and
navigable rivers has been continually grow
ing in Importance, and iron steamers now
run from Paris to Rouen, llavre and London,
passing by the canal st. Denis. The boats
going from Paris to London are auxiliary
screw schooners, of from 80 to $50 tons bur
then, making the trip in five days. Steam
ers DIV on most Of the French canals. Con-
corning the use of steam on canals in Swe-
den, the Courier and Enquirer has the fol-
lowing quotations:
NV opinion is that the application Of
steam TO Canal navigation has been more sue
cessfuIly carried out in Sweden than else
where; the steamers are all screw steamers,
and travelled at the rate of nine to ten miles
an hour. excepting where the canal is narrow
and they are obliged 10 go at half speed, TO
avoid washing the banks; the engines are
small and compact, the cylinders are inclined
and rest upon hollow bed plate, which Is
the condenser; the air pump and feed pump
are worked either by ecccntrics on the man
shaft, or directly from the cross-head s OF the
piston-rod. The handgear is on deck. This
engine is almost universal in Sweden, and Is
well known, having obtained a medal AT the
French Great Exhibition. The vessels con-
vey from 80 to 200 tons freight, and could
10 several barges."

The Union says that the defeat OF the Post
Office Appropriation bill, in Congress, places
it out of the power ofthe Executive to main
main the existing mail service. The depart
ment at most, can use the accruing receipts
up to the close of the fiscal year, the Both of
June Nearly all moneys appropriated at
the last session have been exhausted; so that
the accruing income is all that is available;
and even this income will not be available al
ter the first of July next. Ofcourse. 1t is the
duty of the administration at once to adjust
the service to the means in its hands. This
will require prompt suspension OF great
many routes, and general reduction OF all
others"
The National Intelligencer says--"The
immediate cause which brought about the
defeat Of the Post Office Appropriation bill
arose from a conflict of opinion between the
two Houses of Congress in regard to their re-
spective jurisdiction and prerogatires-a con-
Act which might have been reconciled and
adjusted if the occasion had admitted Of that
calm and deliberate consideration which
SfOulQ ne brought 10 tiic tlca'ihciI I'll" '~C''
ion of such questions. But, unfortunately.
so large a portion of the session was suffered
to be consumed in debate on topics which
led to no positive or benefccnt results. that
only the few closing days of the Congresslon-
al term were left for the discussion and pass
age of the annual appropriation bills for the
support and service of the Government IN
all its executive and administrative depart
ments.'
The Union says that of the Democratic
votes, in the House, which helped to kill the
bill, 10 were from Pennsylvania, 3 from New
York. 2 from Kentucky. , from Connecticut.
. from Ohio, | from Minnesota.
The Washington Star attributes the defeat
of the bill, however, entirely to Mr.. Toombs,
in the Senate. 1t says Its failure to become
law may make an extra session necessary.
In undertaking thus to set his own ludg-
mont above and beyond that of a majority of
the Senate, to the point of preventing the
executive branch of the Government from
paving out dollar on account of postal ex-
penses, and thus destroying its postal ser
vice. Mr.. Toombs has assumed RESPONSE
biltv which seems to us to embrace conelu-
sive evidence that his impracticability as
legislator has rendered his official connection
with public affairs most disastrous to the
public interest"
