WEDNESDAY EVENING. November 9, 1859.
There has been somewhat of falling off in
the amount of business done during the past
few days, which has been less than usual at
this season of the year, and less than was to
to have been expected, Judging from the i'm.
provement noticed in the latter part of October.
These fluctuations in the amount of trade
this season of the year are without precedent
and render calculations in regard to the amount
to be done very uncertain.
The high rate of freight from this point to St.
Louis has very marked effect upon purchasers
of produce shipping to that market, and has
materially checked their operations. Large
amounts of merchandise are arriving at this
point and we are confident that supplies of
almost all descriptions of goods will be abun.
dant this winter.
Produce of all kinds is coming in freely, and
meets with ready sale at prices given in our
quotations.

From the Sank Rapids Frontiersman.

From the Sank Rapids Frontersman.
We publish below the first epistle Of
Stephen to one of the voters at Platte River.
1t is from the Chairman of the Republican
District Committee, who encloses tUo dollars
Read it:
ST.. CLOUD, Sept. 6, 1859.
MR.. - -, Platte River Since l left
your house have received several letters from
the friends of the Homestead law and the enc.
mics OF the tax law in St. Paul, and they all
tell me that the next Senate will be Just one
majority against US if Mr.. Andrews is elected
in this district; and that if we can elect Mr..
Swisshem we shall have one majority on the
right side.
l know that you can make yourself felt on
that cay, and that your influence will tell a
loud story for Platte River. therefore beg
that you will give Mr.. Swisshelm lift. He is
one Of the best men l ever knew, and will vote
all the time against q railroad tax; aud he
never fOrgets a friend.
have been through the District, and he will
get more than 100 Democratic votes O
Two of our Representatives will be elected.
Mayhem and Freeman are safe % and | still
thiuk that we will carry the entire district
ticket.
l enclose two dollars O to be used in such
way as you think best in getting ont good
vote, and l want it used at UNCLE GEORGES
HOUSE.
Truly yours, STEPHEN MILLER.
The actual date of the above letter was
October 6, but we print it as it reads. 1t
was directed to a Democrat who lives at
Mr.. George Stones (familiarly called Uncle
George) and the two dollars (how compli-
mentary to Platte RiverD were either de-
signed to be expended in liquor or in the
purchase of votes. 1t could not be designed
to procure teams, for Mr.. Miller expressly
states, II want it used at Uncle Georges
House." Uncle George keeps a public
house. 1t is with these two dollars that Mr..
Miller wants /" lift" and "a good vote"
given to Mr.. Swisshelm.
We regret that we did not have an op-
portunity to publish this epistle of Stephen
before the election, as it was so full of con-
ISOLATION to the Republican candidates, es.
pecially to Mayhem and Freeman, who were
"safe.''
To be serious, however, we feel mortified
that the politicians of any party can be so
far lost to sense of morality and upright
ness as to undertake to influence the vote of
men by money. And yet this was but an
insignificant instance of the INSCRIPTIONS
means resorted to by our opponents in order
to lift themselves to Office; all over the
State money was lavishly spent by them
and they perpetrated enormous frauds in dis.
tributing spurious tickets.
The above letter has been read by so
many, and so much curiosity has been ex-
pressed concerning it, that we felt disposed
to lay it before the public. We may posi-
bly, print more of these Republican epistles
which enclosed such weighty bank note
arguments.

GREAT BARGAINS AT CATHCART's .--While some
dealers are reducing their stocks, the Messrs.
Cathcarts are filling up their large three story
store, on Third street, to the roof with the
best assortment of Dry Goods ever brought to
this market. Those who wish to purchase.
will be sure of finding at their store the exact
patterns of the goods they waat, if they are to
be had in the State. while the country trader
can have stock to select from of sufficient
size to fill any order he may choose to give,
ned at the lowest prices.

larly remarkable here, only as a contrast to
that experienced further south and east. A
private letter from Pittsburg states that
they had rain and snow storms in constant
succession for the past fortnight, with only
occasional glimpses of the sun. We hear
similar accounts from northern New York,
and in the New England States. At Chip
pewa Falls, Wis, on the 18th of last month,
there was snow storm of three hours dura-
ton, and that some of the creeks were frozen
over sufficiently to bear up a man in
crossing.

Can't Be PardOned.

RICHMOND, Nov Tt is ascertained
that under the laws of Virginia, the Gov.
ernor cannot pardon person convicted of
treason to the Commonwealth, except with
the consent of the General Assembly, de.
clered by joint resolution. This rids Wise
of all responsibility in the matter. What
the Legislature will do is not known.

Steamboat Explosion and Loss of Lii,

SANDUsKY, Nov. 1.-The propeller Ohio,
bound from Buffalo to Cleveland, with o
cargo of $50 tons of merchandise, when ten
miles off Long Point, below Erie, Sunday
morning, at two o'clock, blew up and sank
in ten minutes. Seventeen persons were
aboard, of whom Thomas Corbett, second
mate, and Michael Danigan, wheelsman,
were lost. The remaining fifteen drifted in
a yawl boat without oars, in a high sea,
and but little clothing, fifteen hours, when
the propeller Equator picked them up and
broug hit them to this port. The Ohio was
owned by the American Transportation Co.
Said to be no insurance.

several yards. No person was hurt.

WE are informed that Messrs. Ingersol &
Co., have decided to take State Bank at Aus
tin, Farmers's Bank, Garden City, and Bank of
st. Paul, at par.
This will be good opportunity for those
who hold that money to dispose of without it
sacrifice, and enable Messrs. Ingersoll & Co.,
to make large sales of Dry Goods in exchange
for money which we believe to be good.
