Missouri NAvIGABLE FOR 5000 MILES.
The enterprise of the American Fur
Company has demonstrated ihat the Missou-
ri River is navigable for steamboats, dis
lance of over three thousand miles from IFS
mouth. The steamer Spread Ersle, in con-
necton with the Chippewa, has completed
this season one of the most remarkable
trips on record in the navigation of Western
Rivers, having traversed the Missouri
from its mouth to Fort Benton point with
in sixty miles of the head waters ol the
Columbia, and three thousand and one hun
dred and twenty miles above the mouth Of
the Missouri. This is nine hundred miles
above the mouth of the Yellow Stone, and
seven hundred miles further than any 9TH
er steamboat has ever been. She made the
trip Of six thousand two hundred miles in
seventy-nine days. The Chippewa made
the trip from the mouth of The Yellow
Stone 10 Fort Benton. The solitudes abound
in game; large bands OF buffalo, elk, and
mountain sheep, might be seen at any time
beyond the Yellow Stone, and occasionally
the grizzley bear.

A New PHASE IN rHE New YoRK Day
GooDs TRADE.-We find the annexed in the

merchants in large cities:

profitable experiment or not, we are unable
to say, but we are advised that said fashion
has recently been introduced int, New Y York.
We are reliably informed that large
business firm in this city, have now con-
nected with their establishment, in full
blast, well furnished eating, drinking and
smoking saloon, where the customers Of the
the house are regularly introduced at certain
hours, and if occasion requires, at intervals
several times between. The '.institution'
aforesaid, it is remarked, is highly appre-
cia,ed by the ''trade," and "works admira-
bly," 1t sometimes happens that the GUS
toners of this popular house," in conse-
quence Of other engagements, are unable TO
call upon them daily. A note is made of
such absence, and, if it is too long protract-
ed, young man is dispatched in the eve.

Whether or not some stay away on purpose

have occasion TO allude to it again.

merchant has, through the beneroience of
said firm, been put through" all the per-
formunces of the city, from the refining

mentioned case, we have reliable informa-

public, that the bills for all these edtertain-
ments and performances amounted to 1920

stood that when old cocks crow, the young
ones learn, and hence the public need not
be surprised at such developments as the
recent defalcations and other rascalities we
read of in the daily papers. If our young
men are educated in such commercial schools
it may be expected that they will graduate
with due honOrs.

E"Ion" Of the Baltimore Sun Of Tues
day, speaking of the fOreshadowing' of the
Charleston Convention, says:
'.It is more certain than ever that the
northern delegations will defer 10 the wish
es Of the southern delegates, both in regard
to platform and to the nomination of can
dida.es for the Presidency and the Vice
Presidency. The South must fu:nith
nearly all the electoral votes, and Of course
have right to ehooss the candidates. II a
Southern man be nominated as President,
it is very probable that Governor Horatio
Seymour will be selected as Vice Presi-
dent, in Difference TO the wishes Of the vast
majority of the Democrats of the Empire
State. 1t is thought that his name on the
ticket would go far to secure. the electoral
vote OF New York; but must ssy that no
one can ''count upon New York" in any
event. Bat the result of the Fall election
for State officers may indicate chanFs f.
vorable 10 the Democracy"

SOUND SESsE.--The only respectable
occupation which there is for an individual,
is that for which ne has the best natural
adaptation. II he takes any other, he can
neither make himself respectable nor
wealthy. What he can do best, is the best
occupation for him. Better, far better is
it TO be at the head Of any trade than at the
foot of any profession. In the former po-
sition, there Is usefulness and profit; in the
latter, nothing but modification, poverty,
and uselessness. Let our mechanics poE-
der upon these suggestions. Let them re-
solve 10 make themselves eminent in the
trade IN which they are engaged, and our
word for it, they need never complain of
want or employment, or lack of remunera-
ton. But if they content themselves with
mediocrily, they will certainly be unsuc-
cessful, because skill, not mere labor, is the
criterion OF profit.

Is RELIGION BEtUTIFUL?-AIways in
The child, the maiden, religion shines with.
holy, benignant beauty Of its own which
nothing OF earth can mar. Never yet was,
female character perfect without the steady
faith OF piety. Beauty, intellect, wealth.
ihey are all like pitfalls, dark in brightsss
day, unless religion throws her soft beams
sround them 10 purify and exalt, making
twice glorious that which seemed all love-,
illness before. Religion is very beautiful,
in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty :,
We can never enter the sick chamber Of the.
good, but soft music seems to float on the
air; and the burden of their songs is, "Lo
peace is here" 3,
Could we look into the thousand Of fami-,
lies to-day, where discomfort nights sullenly
with lite, we should find fhe chief cause
OF unhapplness, want Of religion in women.
o, religion: benignant majesty, high on thy
throne thou sittest glorious and exalted

thee and truly piOus souls; not beneath the
clouds for above these is Heaven, opening.

Fam PLAY FOR PRINTERs.-We have q
mind TO have this set up in capitals and
leave it standing st a columns head; it is a
great truth compressed into small space:
''The public have funny notion about
printers. They think it costs nothing to
puff, advertise, etc. And one and another
will spunge an extra, puff, or some benev-
client advertisement. They forget that it is
the printers ink that makes nine-tenths Of
their fortunes. They forget that it takes
money to pay compositors; TO buy ink, type
and paper, and lastly they forget even to
thank you for working Tor nothing by graf

Consignment of Arizona Silver.

Messrs. VIM. s, Mcknight s. Co., No.
81 n. Main street, have received a con-
signment of about two hundred pounds OF
Arizona silver, in the form Of what is
termed bullion. The silver is in small
plates of irregular shape, as It comes from
the smelling furnace, which weigh probably
three pounds each. The metal in this state
contains about ten per cent. Of gold, and
the whole consignment is valued at S4,6OO.
This silver is from the famous Arizona
mines, and was shipped by Mr.. Cuniife-a
merchant Of Ell Psso, Texas. 1t care by
the Overland California Mail Coach, in
charge of Capt. Smith, Superintendent Of
the Mail Oh tho Ell Paso division. This
silver is the first shipment Of any article
ether than mail matter by the Overland
couch, and its transportation was an excep-
ton TO general rule, made by the courtesy
of Capt. Smith, who, as he was about TO
visit this section on business, took charge
of the valuable packages.
We learn that there are very nearly two
tons of silver bullion awaiting shipment at
Ell Paso, which would come forward imme-
diatsly. If there were any means of trans
porting it safely. A special Express, for
the purpose of carrying bullion and ether
heavy articles, is now needed on this route,
! and the Overland Mail contractors will
doubtless soon put one into operation
Silver IN bullion and in bars is almost the
only medium of exchange in Arizona and
Northern Texas, and the proper facilities
should be afforded merchants in that region
to conduct their mercantile operations
which are of rapidly increasing Importance
in the wide field of their Territory, and als'
to St. Louis merchants.-[ Republican, 9th

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington Despatch to N. Y. Herald
WASuINGrnN Oct 9 1SSt

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 1859.
Bids for the transportation of supplies to
the army in Utah and New Mexico were
opened at the War Department yesterday.
The Secretary Of War being absent, the
President deemed it of sufficient i'm portance
to go 10 the Department and have the bids
opened and registered before him. This
unexpected step on the part Of the Presi-
dent created some surprise. 1t appears the
old contractors, Majors, Russell & Co., will
not obtain any one Of the three contracts,
other bids being lower. 1t is understood
the bid Of A. C. Irving & Co., will take the
Utah contract at one dollar and thirty-four
cents per pound per hundred miles. the
old contract was one dollar and eighty cents.
1t is said the bids of Childs & Scott will
take the two contracts for New Mexico
The magnitude Of these contracts may be
judged from the fact that the amount Of the
Utah contract the first year was over twen-
ty millions of dollars.
Henry McGill, who has been acting as
private Secretary TO The President since the
resignation Of Buchanan Henry, has been
appointed Secretary of Washington Terri
tory. He will leave in the steamer of the
9th inst, for his post, with full Instructions
for our authorities there.
Hon. Israel T. Hatch has been appointed
by the President TO examine into the oper-
atlons Of the reciprocity treaty upon the rev.
enue and trade between canada and the
United States. There is an almost uniyer-
sal dissatisfaction on the Northern frontier
with this treaty, and it is believed that it
can be SO modified and amended that it will
work less injuriously to the revenue.

companied by officer Kirby Of Arrow Rock,
with authority 10 arrest DR.. Walton, Of
Brownsville, upon the charge of murder.
ing man by the name Of Martin, near the
Tennessee line on the southern boundary
of Logan county. Upon visiting Browns
vile, it was found that the Doctor could not
be found, he having departed to parts IN
known The circumstances in relation 10
the murder as related 10 us, were as fol-
lows; Over three years ago, the Doctor
had difficulty with Martin about matter
of great delicacy-a quarrel was terminated
by the Doctor having Martin bound over to
keep the peace. While under bonds the
Doctor abused Martin by, using opprObri-
Gus epithets. Martin remarked that he
would be at liberty 10 resent such treatment
in short time, and that he would chastise
the Doctor for his rudeness. The Doctor
armed himself, sadded his horse, went to
the store of Martin, and shst him in the back
as he laid upon the counter, and then left
the country. The grand jury had found a
true bill against him, and his whereabouts
were not known until recently, and when a
requisitioa was being obtained upon the
Governor of Missouri for his delivery, enc
OF his friends hastened TO inform him Of the
fact, and hence his escape. We believe
that he has been in or near Brownsville,

years, and so far as we have learned, he
has behaved with sropriety.-[Salins Her

The New Chinese Imbroglio-The Eng
Ish and French Whipped by the Chinese.

usn anu FRENCH w nIppeu Dy the Cnlnese.
The late European mails are filed with
lengthy detailed narratives Of the une1pect-
ed disaster to the French and British arms
in China. The Allied squadrons attempted
to force their way up the Pisho river to
bear the British and French Ministers to
Pekin, in accordance with the treaty made
OF Canton last year.
But no sooner had they reached the first
barrier which the Chinese had thrown
across the mouth Of the river, than several
forts situated near by, which had, UP TO
This time remained perfectly silent, poured
on the advancing vessels fire SO murder
Gus and deadly, that the Allies, unused 10
such vigorous and effective fighting at the
hands of the Chinese, were reforced TO re-
treat with loss of about 500 killed and
wounded. II is charged that this bloody
work was superintended by Russian off.
GERS who commanded the garrisons in the
forts, and directed the working Of the guns.
This, again, is denied, and the spiritual re-
sistance attributed to the American and
European pirates and ortlaws who swarm
in the Chinese waters, and who may have
been enticed into the servire of the Chi
nese Government for the very work which
they executed SO well. Il is a little singu-
lar, that whils The British and French Min
listers were treated TO this hot and hostile
reception, the American C Commissioner, MIR.
WARD, was treated with the utmost dis
tinction and courtesy, having been presen-
ted with large supply of provisions, and
invited to meeting with the Governor of
the province preparatory to his admission
10 Pekin.
This affair re-opens the Chinese war,
which 1t was hoped, had been ended BIZ the
treaties at Canton. John Chinaman will
have 10 pay heavily, and suffer severely, for
this defeat OF his enemies. The Allies are
determined TO carry on the water, we learn,
with unsparins vigOr, and it is probable,
they will not rest, until all the barriers that
have kept the Celestial Empirs closed
against The intercourse of The world, shall
have been broken down, and the sports Of
China thrown open 10 all nations.
