of steam that will carry her through 10
advance Of all others.
The contest 10 this State assumes al
together a different bear'ng since the
formation of the Union ticket between
the Douglas and Bell forces.
We are having something else in the
city besides politics. The Fall business
is opening brisk. l know that the pala'
t;al mansions in the aristocratic localities
still present q deserted appearance.
The wealthy and fashionable OF the En-
pire CITY are yet rusticating in the
country, leaving their splendid homes at
the mercy Of servants and burglars.
The city, nevertheless, IS exceedingly
busy. 1t is again presenting that Won
der to be seen in no other city in the
Union. The excited, busy, jostling
and never ending crowd is again
seen in Broadway. There is the
jam of teams, the scores OF
vehicles locked together in inex:rlcable
confusion and unable to move; there is
the impatient crowd waiting on the COL
ners, annoyed at the distractions. that
prevent their crossing that thorough
fare there ara the ''stars," whip in hand,
trying to unravel tie mixed multitude
and make order out of confusion; there
is grand display of dry goods, dazzling
wares, useful articles Of traffic, silks,
satins and diamonds, from the windows
Of magnificent stores; the latest style of
dress is being exhibited in an afternoon
promenade there is mixture of the
long, pale, sharp face and fast wa king
New Yo,kers, with the we'll formed and
manly appearing Southerner; there is a
busy time 10 the wholesale stores, hur-
rying to and fro Of clerks and packers,
draymen with laden carts, Fastening to
the railroad depots and wharfs, in fact
everything betokens a busy time, such
as New York alone presents.
Money, it is said, was never more
abundant. There is renewed excite
ment amongst the bulls and bears OF
Wall street. Every body for the moment,
seems to be dabbing, or just going to,
in some railroad stock. People out OF
town, arties In the streets, staid, sober,
steady going people as well as speculat-
ors, are buying or selling, and the like
of such a time all around is said not to
be in the memory of the oldest broker,
not even the famous Little Jew, who
has already lived twenty-three lives.
Advance is now the order Of tn, day,
and that too, as universal as Calling
falling was in the crisis f 1857.
Your readers will no doubt be some
what surprised, if tell them that nc
class Of New Workers are any more busy
than the fur dealers. Such is the case,
those splendid Russian Sable Cspes, the
large minks are being sold at a rapid
rate, and that too, when the the' nome
ter is amongst the nineties. Buyers are
plenty ard the shipments are heavy.

been as good as it has this season, our
wholesale houses have sold larger guam

later,-Amcrican mink is said to take
the lead this year-prices with the ex-
ception of Fitch, will be about the same
as last year. Fitch furs will be notch
or two higher.
The book publishers are also bestir-

trisk fall trade. More are making
greater preparations to add to the litera.

They have turned their back upon
Nassau street, and are now holding
forth in Broadway, near Brown street,
and have one Of the finest stores in the
city. On the first of next month, they
will have ready for tue reading public, a
story in two volumes, by Mis-. Warfield
Of Kentucky, called the ''Household Of
Bonverie, or the Elixir of Cold" IIav.
ing carefully examined a proof copy,
can but pronounce it one OF the most at.
tractive stories Of tie day. 1t cannot fail
10 make a sensation in the literary word.
The fair authorizes has shown great
deal Of originality, in the selection, a:
well as in her dclineation of the several
characters.
The thousands of admirers Of the
writings Of Marion Harland, will be
pleased to learn that the above house
has just published another volume from
ner pen, emitted "Nemesis." This new
volume fully sustains the good reputa
ton of that authoress, and will be found
fully as interesting as her former works.
