A Pleasant Place TO live In,

New York is manifestly the worst reguln.
ted city in this country. New Orleans in
its worst days was not equal to it. Scarcely
day passes that some appalling outrage is
not perpetrated. Crime of every character,
nature ard degree is rite in that bustling m g.
tropoIis. The last papers from there bring
us accounts of "a man missing" Mr.. w ;.
II. Andrews, who collected check on Fri.
day, which has not been presented for nav.
ment, and has not been heard of since also
"u lady missing,"a Mrs. Catherine NJ. Binp.
ham, who went out for walk in the after.
noon, and has not been since heard FROM
Dead bodies are found in the docks every
morning. People in scores are knocked
down and robbed every night. A few DAYS
since an abortve attempt was made to alb.
duct young lady, the daughter of one Of
the most respectable citizens, in Broadway,
near the corner of Bleeker street, in broad,
open day-not policeman was visible, of
course, and the parties engaged in the nefa.
rious attemP: made their escape. This, ta-
ken in connection with half column of
burglaries, outrages and other crimes, make
q very pleasant picture for the moraist to
contemplate.
The New York Ne,cs says: "Within one
week we have had but FIVE murders, three
rOpes, eight suicides. forty.two burglaries,
one hundred and twenty-five ordinary rob.
berries and not more than five hundred as.
sault and batteries" Who would live in
New York!

Singular Conduct.

There is, perhaps, no paper in the United
States that has done more to get up the
Pixies Peak gold excitement than the 81.
Louis Democrat. Its columns have groan-
ed with exciting articles from and about the
gold mines, and its whole influence has been
exerted to produce the impression that gold,
easy of access and inexhaustuble in quanti.
ties, was to be had by going to the Peak and
its surroundings. Having aided to get up
the excitement, that paper now coolly gives
its readers the following from Leavenworth
