EFFECT OF THE WAR ON New YORK BILLS OF
EXCHANGE ON LoNDoN.-It appears by the last
news from Europe that the bill-brokers of Lon
don had raised the price of their bills Of ex-
change on the United States; while here, on the
contrary. we have the remarkable fact that Bel
mont has lowered the price of his bills of ex-
change on Europe which, considering that Bel.
mont il the agent of the Rothschilds, seems az
0rst blush unaccountabe. But the matter in
capable Of satisfactory explanation. This move
ment does not proceed from the fact that Bel
mont's paper is not still as good in commercial
transactions as 1t was before the Outburst of
bostiities in Europe, but that large quantity
of specie is wanted by the belligerents for the
purchase Of provisions and other purposes Of
war, and Austria has appointed Belmont her
agent to procure gold and silver in the Uaited
States Belmont, who is a native of Frankfort.
In Germany, was many years Consul General for
Austria in this country, and she now relies on
him TO get her the needfal in her trying emer-
gency. She commenced war without silver
or gold coin in her chest, or even without good
credit. But everybody knows that money is
''the sinews Of war'--that fact has grow into
familiar proverb; aud all who have had any ex-
perience in commanding armies, or those who
have read the minute histories of campaigns.
ned not be told that without abundance Of
specie war cannot be carried on, and that some
Of the greatest enterprises have been defeated for
want of it. This explains the fact of Belmont
the recognized agent of the Rothschilds, aud tho
secret agent Of Austria, reducing the price Of
his paper, in order to procure all the specie he
can for his employers. We learn that three
quarters Of million Of specie 60 by the mail
steamer from Boston to Liverpool this day
and that more than half a million of Il
has been sent by Belmont There can ID
little doubt that il is for the Austrian gov
ernment The result of this war will per
hals, depend as much on ready money--no
mere paper, but hard cash, silver and gold-a,
ca the skill Of the generals, the valor of tho
troops, or the superiority of the weapons. "Th{
precious metals therefore, will now becom4
precious in an eminent degree to the European
Powers engaged in deadly conflict on the plain

The WEALTH OF THE AsroRs.-A cores
pondent of the Jersey Telegraph gives the
following apparently authentic information
respecting the wealth of the Astor family;
George b. Smith, lately deceased, was a
long time agent of John Jacob Astor, chief
ly employed in the collection of his rents,
for which service Mr.. Astor paid him eight
thousand dollars year. heard, for al
was there, Mr. Smith say that he collected
one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a
quarter of rents alone, aud these 'cere small
part ofhs property: That Mr.. Astor, al
the time of his death, was worth twenty
one millions Of dollars BY his will he gave
his son, VIM. b. Astor, fifteen millions, a
part of which was the Astor House. The
remainder of his property he gave away IN
legacies to different persons. From the
time of Mr.. Astor's decease his son must
have laid up million of dollars year, fol
he was then rich independently of what hi:
father gave him.

ca, who will go there at their own expense ;
for without this self-paying process, the lee
turer, even the United States Treasury, il
devoted to carrying them thither, would
fail in effecting the desired end.
But to this result il is essentially necessa-
ry that the colored man be made to compre-
prehend fully that his condition will be bet
tered Then the same motive that brought
the Pilgrim Fathers 10 the shores of New
England; that brings the European at the
present time to this country, and that car
ries the American to California, will infiu-
ence his decision; thoroughly convince him
that the change is desirable, and in one year
we should not have a free colored man in the
United States, nor in twenty years negro
of any denomination, either free or in bon
dage.
How much better it would be for ths
State of Indiana, if every negro in it would
emigrate 10 Liberia And their own social
and political condition would be infinitely
bettered. Here they cannot be anything but
"hewers OF wood and drawers of water
There they may occupy the position OF
citizens of a free, prosperous, and Christian
republic. If the free negroes did not stand
in their own light, they would not remain
here in idleness, or engaged in mental en-
ployments, excluded froln society and al
political privileges, when Liberia open:
such wide door for elevation TO the rights
and dignity of freemen.

0Vanderburgh Juries.,

Our Enquirer friends are entirely too anx-
ious for discussion. They really will have
to excuse us; we haven't the time nor the
Inclination for such apro6tless employment,
Just now. We would advise them to devote
themselves to the task over which they have
been laboring, with commendable industry
and ingenuity, for some time past,--to the
very interesting work of attack upon the
slave code politicians of the South, and de-
filming their position in the canvas OF 1860.
They exhibited more eagerness than dis
elimination in their review of our article
on Juries, in Fridays issue. After torturing
our language into a sense very far from its
meaning, they wind up their wordy edito-
rial with sanction of the very point OF our
article. We did not intend, neither did we
east, any reflections upon the worthy citi-
zens named in the Enquirer rs the regular
panel; they are men whom we would be as
far from dishonoring as the editor OF the
Enquirer, most assuredly. But it is well
known, to almost every person, except, per-
haps, our neighbor editor, that the regular
panel do not try half of the jury causes
that they are excused, absent, or challenged
by attorneys, and their places made vacant ;
then il is that "the hangers-on of the Sher-
iff7 and Court room loungers are used.
The Enquirer can't make anything out OF
the charge that we are slandering respecta-
BILE men. We did not intend anything OF
the kind, and We do not think any of those
citizens. whose names the editor so faunt-
ingly displays in his paper, for a moment
supposed that we had the least intention Of
iniuring them. No one knows better thar
