Reform Misunderstanding to pre-
Sious notice, very large and respectable
meeting Of citizens, Of all nations and occu
tations. took place at the Railroad Saloon
on Wednesday evening, notwithstanding
The sneers thrown at it in advance by the
Tribune. The object of the meeting, as
expressed in the call, was Reform in the
financial system Of the business Of the town
Or, in ether words, to have more Cash
and less ''Shinplasters as a circulating
medium. DIR. Z. NJ. TuoRP presided, and
Mr.. FRED. ScHExK acted as Secretary
Remarks were made BY Messrs. ScnExK,
SHARP, ADoLPH WITTMASS, SMALLEY, and
THoRr-all of whom spoke in favor of the
movement. After a general interchange
Of opinion, committee Of FIVE, consisting
of Messrs. SsALEEY, WIrTMASS, SHARP,
WEsTFALL, and HORST, was appointed 10
draft Resolutions, and report at another
meeting to be held at the Court House on
Saturday evening next.
The object of the mechanics and laborers
who were the getters up of this meeting, is
laudable one, but they must exercise
moderation, good feeling, and Cancellation,
in bringing it about Such ill-tempered
remarks as were made by the last speaker
are no. calculated to effect reform, for we
presume those Of our citizens who are able
to live in large mansions las the gentleman
expressed it have erected them with means
earned by their own industry and if more
of our people would exercise the same pru-
dence, energy, and foresight, they too, we
imagine, might afford to live in fine houses.
But We hope that not only our mechanics
and laborers will get rich, but our mer-
chants and business men will get richer

DESTRUCTION OF An AUSTRIAN STEAMBOAT
AND Two HUNDRED MEN.-The following is
an extract from letter of the New York
Neiss' correspondent, dated June 81
The day before yesterday, one of the Aus
trian steamboats, which ran on the Lake of
Garda had started from the opposite bank
with the object of reconRoitering Garibal-
dis forces at Sale. As it was thought pru-
dent to strengthen the Cacciatori dehe Alpi,
Piedmontese battery was sent there with
two battalionS Of Fanti's division. They had
Just arrived when the Francis Joseph steam
boat was ordered 10 steer to the Brescian
side of the Garda She therefore steamed
in that direction, but at the moment she
was entering the harbor of Sale, the Pied
montese battery opened fire upon her,
Our guns had been so well directed that
two of their round shot soon destroyed her
elegant stern. Of course, this was signal
for hasty retreat, but as she was about TO
turn her helm, a well directed grenade fell
on the middle of her deck. Two seconds
afterwards terrible explosion was heard;
the grenade had made its way into the mag
azine, and in les3 than five inmates the
Francis Joseph was in flames. A distress
signal was hoisted, but before the Bene-
dek could be sent from Peschiera to help
her crew, she sank in the midst of the Lake.
Not one of the two hundred men she had
on board was saved; all of them persisted,
either burnt TO death by the flames, or
drowned ia the waters of the classic Beaa-
Gus"

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-Letters from WasL-
ington say:
No instructions are yet given to postmas-
ters regarding the pay of themselves and
clerks. If they appropriate from receipts,
as heretofore, accounts cannot be audited
without the violation OF law in absence of
appropriation. It's well understood here
that the lie Clere letter was written by Hun
ter, chief clerk of the State Department, in
regular routine, and that TO Hofer by Ap-
pleton, to remove the sting of the first and
that part published of the dispatch to our
Minister at Berlin by Buchanan, as an an
tdotc to both the Others. Several members
of the Cabinet met to-day for mutual admi-
ration, there being nothing else to do. There
is positive information here that Hunter
will carry the Virginia delegates, and prob
ably be the nominee at Charleston. Wise
is here now.
