The great house in this business is that Of
Ross & TouSey, in Nassau street. The fact
that they have the entire sale of the New
York Ledger is what gives them their great
superiority. The bnlding in which their i'm
mrnsn business is done is a large marble front.
On Monday, when the Ledger was issued at
nearly one o'clock in the afternoon the fol-
lowing scenes ''might have been" as G.. p. K.

A RUNAWAY SLAVE FROM GEORGIA Cap
TURED.-On Sunday afternoon, as the passen-
gers from Aqua Creek were about to land in
Washington City, Mr.. Mattingly. the agent.
observed a negro in company with a white
man, under suspicious circumstances. This
white man gave his name as J. T. Rogers.

he was going to New York, for which place
he had got through tickets at Wilmington, n.
G. After close questioning. the negro owned
mp that he belonged to DIR. John II. Cook,
Marshalville. near Macon, Ga; that his name
is Hudson, and that he was at work in Oge-
thorpe, in Macon county. when he was in
duccd by Patrick DownGs, alias Rogers, TO
run away; that the white man, Patrick Downes,
was conveying him on TO free State, and
had induced him to place i'll his hands $3.50.

The Menphf. Appeal.

The Memphis Daily .An'eal of the LIST inst
is greatly enlarged, and dressed in new type.
1t was already the largest daily in the State,
and is now equal to che largest daily in the
South or West. the st. Louis Republican only
excepted. We congratulate the proprietors
on their abdpdant success. The Appeal is one
of the most independent democratic presses
in the country. and its editorial course has al
ways been marked by a courteous and digni-
fed bearing towards its political adversaries.
and however much we may differ from the
Apreql on questions Of political economy, we
give its credit for honesty of purpose, aquali-
ty which always commands respect.
The appeal has refused to join with its
Southern friends in dcnunciations of Judge
DOUGLAS. and has dissented from the radical
currency crochets Of a portion Of its party
in this State. We take it that its present
prosperity and fiattering prospects are an in
dication that the heart of its party is with it
on these questions.

ES-The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North american contains the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
1t is now given out by the friends of Mr.
Douglas that he will not appear in Washing
ton until after the Senatorial election in Hi
nois. This was the original design. which he
came changed by the action of the demo-
cratic caucus in deposing him from the chair
manship on territories. upOn the knowledge
of which he started off suddenly to confront
his enemies, but abandoned the idea after re-
fiecting upOn suggestions Of prudence which
had not occurred to him in the first moment
Of resentment There is a certain anxiety
for his presence here. both in regard to politi-
cal and personal matters: for il cannot be dis
guised that number of the followers who
accepted his lead. without condition or hest
tatiOn, have grown exceedingly FESTIVE under
some of his southern speeches as involving
purposes not before disclosed, and IN conflict
with the great principle which brought about
their cooperation. As to the personal is-ucs,
they do not properly concern the public, ex-
cept in their relations to other matters.
As Mr.. Forsyth will not be permitted to re-
turn to Mexico, in an official capacity, no
matter what may be his construction of the
Presidents action. effort is now making in
behalf of Mr.. Cushing for a special mission.
No one denies his accomplishments and gene
raj ability for this or any other station, but
he has neither the stability of character nor
the cast of mind suited 10 such a RESPONSE
hility. During the administration of General
Pierce when direct point was made upon
the reception of Padre Vigil, after the Cabi
net had SOlemnlv determined upon its course,
he was on both sides within fortV-eight hours;
first az the open denouncer of the filbusters.
and then a the champion of their chosen ex-
pOnent. He exhibited similar vacilation on
almost every other important OCCASION and
hence, with all his admitted culture and
scholarship. never was regarded as a wise or
safe adviser,

VIRGINIA Finances.

The Richmond Enquirer gives the following
exhibit of the easy and substantial condition
of the financial affairs of the State of Vir-
ginia:
" The last Legislature passed an act post
poning the payment of the taxes into the
treasury. Ivy which three-fourihs were payable
on the 18th Of December and the remaining
one-fourth will be payable on the first day of
February next. and allowing an additional
time Of six months for payment from the time
the Commissioners book were delivered to
the Collectors Under the operation of this
act with less than three-fOurthS of the taxes
being PAYABLE the First Auditor has paid the
entire interest payable by the State on the
first proximo at London. New York. and at
the public treasury at Richmond. He has
also paid the capitation tax and interest set
apart to the literary fund. the one per cent.
sinking fund on the public debt, and has
ample means remaining to satisfy the Ordi-
nary charges of government upon the treas
ury Besides this. with a vigorous effort, the
First Auditor has collected Of arrears Of taxes
due to the State, and with other means at
command. n sufficient amount to retire SD
600 of the one year treasury notes which had
been issued 10 meet the temporary charges
upon the treasury.
1T is also gratifying to learn that all
balances to public boards Of the State have
been entirely paid off, and that the only float
ing debt of the State consists Of treasury
notes payable in twelve months amounting
to about $500 900. The One-fourth Of the
taxes Of the present year, vet To he paid. will
be sufficient above the ordinary charges, to
reduce this outstanding. floating debt about
FIVE or six hundred thousand dollars. at any
time after the lst of February. leaving only
two or three hundred thousand dollars 10 be
paid by next years taxes, after which (as the
present rate of taxes produces about S500.00O
surplus above the interest and sinking fund
upon the public debt and ordinary charges
in support of goyernment) our taxes may be
reduced

fF~ The fires in the picker-rooms of the
fremont. the Naumkeag and the Massachn-
setts Mills, within n few days, and which
involved the loss of life in the last named
mill. were cau:ed by stones or gravel packed
with the cotton to increase its weight, coming
in contact with the revolving steel kniv I
the beater, while the cotton was being
worked through the opener. so called. The
Lowell 4dVrTtiSer says that ain nearly all the
bales of cotton opened there, from S to II
per cent. of sand, stones. nails and other sub
stances are found. Single stones weighing
twenty-eight pounds have been found in these
bales. which sell at from ii to - cents
pound TO our manufacturers
If The statement of the Advertiser is true.it
is time there were some steps taken to fix the
guilt of the parties who practice the vii
famous arts alluded to. The Southern pro-
ducers of cotton should not be indiscrimin-
ately Censurcd for the frauds and cheats of
few. We have known cases of detection, and
with but little extra trouble Comm on
Merchants might adopt system that would
lead TO exposure in every instance.

who Elected noua.a.

The Louisville Democrat. in some structures
Iowa, TO Judge DoUGLAs. makes the following
reference to Mr.. DIS supporters and his demo-
cratic opponents:
THE whole country knows that the Demo
cracy elected Douglas in Illinois that his
opponents were white spirits and black ;
amongst them Gen. Jones, Lincoln, Jno. Went
worth IL Co. The only outside support he
got was from the Americans, who. in 1856
would not vote for a sectional candidate al
though they saw that they could defeat the
Democracy by so doing. The Republicans
never supported candidate with more zeal
and unanimity than they supported Lincoln
He had the white spirits ard black Dougher-
~, Reynolds and Breese. who were the admin
iStration candidates against Douglas. all left
the party in 1854, on account of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. These had the
sympathy of Gen. Jones & Co.: and vet the
said General has the face to talk of black
spirits and white Douglas sacrificed Demo-
cratic organization Really that's rich. The
whole world knows that it was the Democratic
organization in Illinois that supported
Douglas; but that organization did not obey
orders from Washington. That was the sin of
the Democrats of Illinois. So it is essential
in Democrats to surrender their opinions and
organization to the control of wire-pullers at
the Fl deral city. Such is the medium through
which Gen. Jones locks at facts. Let him go
home TO Iowa, and ask Democrats who has
sacrificed Democratic principles; more i'm
portant than organic tiun. Douglas could
to-day get ten votes to Jones's one, in his own
State. The latter would sacrifice principles.
organization and all. in Iowa, if his lead
were followed. He to-day misrepresents his
own party in the Senate of the United States.
He has not the support of one-tenth of the
Democrats of Iowa; if he has the support of
any.

againat the pension bill, recently passed by
the House of Representatives. known as the
"Old Soldiers Bill " JONI LErcHER, the sham
democratic candidate for Governor, was found
arrayed against the measure. The Richmond

course of an article to this effect, thus cuts
and slashes right and left on the subject of
Federal extravaganza:
.'No Mr.. Lctcher has stricken good blow.
Ali that we ask of him is TO strike another
and another. and yet another more and more,
without intermission. and in the same direc-
ton Let him examine every existing abuse

are becoming on the subject Of extravaganza,
and how earnestly and feelingly they WOO
the spirit of economy. On or about the 18th
of last June the Hon. JOHN LErcHER was oc-
cupying the forum of the House. in an elabo-
rate defence Of the administration from the
charges of extravaganza. which were then
