Some Of the EFects.-If the north
arm press and letter-writers. are to be
bel eyed, the effects of Mr.. Lincoln's
war are beginning to " hurt" all bran
ches of business. A letter from New
York says:
The war is pressing hard on some
of our first class educational institu-
tons. The general theological SEM
mary Of the Protestant Episcopa;
church, in Twentieth street, l un-
defstand, is reduced to great straits,
financially speaking, SO mneh so that
IN the course of a few days the trus
tees willissue an appeal for assistance
to the church at large, and failing in
that, the doors of the seminary will
probably have to be closed until the
advent OF more prosperous times, when
they shall be able to convert to ac-
count its immense landed estate,
which has been the ample source of
its support in ordinary seasons, bat
which is now, like all OF our city real
estate, entirely unavailable.

Testimony eta Uniomist.-The Mem
phis Appeal of the 18th has the fol-
lowing:
Hon. Henry NJ. Waterson recently
returned from Washington, made {,
speechon Monday last at McMinnville.
The New IA says: 'sHe reminded
his hearer, VI his former devotion to
the Union, and informed them that
what he had seen at Washington had
thoroughly weaned him from his
devotion to the ''stars and stripes
He said if we had no other cause, the
imbecility and wholesale rascality of
the Government at Washington was
sufficient to justify a disruption of the
old Union. He represents a complete
reign Of terror at the old capital, and
expresses the conviction that a more
despotic and tyrannical Government
can not be found than the one which
acknowledges Abraham Lincoln as
its ruler

had been stolen, and the people were
making great noise about it. l
fear-I fear you have got the stolen
pig there; and if so it will go hard

was dreadf1lly alarmed at this piece
Of intelligence. "For the love OF
heaven, do help meout Of this scrape''
exclaimed. you know the country
hereabouts better than l do,-take
NY pig and give me your goose -
II ought to have something into the
bargain to make all fair" said the
fellow ':but I will not be too hard
upon you, seeing you are in a sort of
scrape" With these words he took
the pig and gave Hans the goose,
with which he marched off right
glad of the exchange. Il have not
got the worst Of the bargain, me-
thinks" said Hans to himself, as he
FASTENED onward with his white
goose unIr" his arm. First, there

When Hans had reached the last
village which lay OH his road home,
he perceived scissor-g grinder with
his wheel and barrow, working ana
singing very blithely. Hans stood
still awhile and gaped at his work !:
at last he said: s.Yes," replied the

night for Missouri. They We're the
most inferior men I ever saw. There
is great reaction going on here since
men begin to look at things coolly:;
Six weeks ago we did not dare say a.
word againt the war, but since they
are beginning to make it an Aboli-
ton war, we talk and say just what
we like. It has been very difficult
to get volunteers, and it would be
nearly impossible to get them at all,
if they could get any thing else to do.

What more could l wish than to find
gold in my pocket as often as [ put
my hand into it, So Hans gave
the grinder his goose. "Now," said
the other, giving him an old worn
out stone which lay at his side,
..here is most capital. stone for you,
only manage it well and you may
make an old nail cut with it. Take
it, and begin your gold-winning.
Hans took the stone and marched
off with it in great triumph. "Sure-
ly must have been born in lucky
hour" said he to himself, "every
thing goes so well with me!' Mean
while Hans began to feel himself
very hungry; but he could get moth
ing to eat for he had given away his
last penny for JOY when he got the
COW, At last he got so tired that he
could not walk step farther; so he
sat down at the side Of a little pool
with his great burden of a stone, and
was stopping to take drink, when
the stone pumped into the well and
sank to the bottom. Hans was over
ioyed at thus getting rid Of his only
plague, the great heavy stone, and
leaped briskly up to his feet, exclaim-
ing: "How lucky am I! Sure
there never was such lucky NOR
tai under the sun ~ And with a
light and merry heart he walked on
till he came to his mothers house.

An English T1eac.-The London
Post, Palmerstonian, in its issue OF
August 18th, classes an article on
the war in the following language :
Actual warfare in the United States
has now been waged for several
months. Every advantage, with the
exception of General Mcclellan :
success in Western Virginia, has been
on the side Of the South. What has
the North gained IN exchange! \
dIS@racetul defeat, an amount OF tax
alton which is unparalleled in the his
tory of European notions, the rttt 1
subversiOn of constitutional liberty.
and, by means of prohibitory tariffs
the alienation Of the synpathies OF
their best customers and friends. 1t
appears, further, that slavery IS not
the cause OF this iamentable contest.
1t arises from commercial jealousy :;
and thus we see that in America the
great battle Of free trade as opposed
protection is fought out. not by bus
tings and platform speeches, but by

LOCAL MATTERS.

coxpROMIsE.-We learn that the miners at
o,,.ker Hill have effected compromise with
Mr. Jacobs, the ditch owner, and will again re-
,ur,e work on their claims. 1t appears that
Nr Jacobs has heretofore been selling water at
,bo rate of twenty-five cents an inch for twenty
four hours, and made no charge for water used
IN cleaning up. The usual rate is twenty cents
an inch for twelve hours. Jacobs proposed to
raise it to thirty cents for twenty-four hours !;
hrt this being more than the miners thought
they could afford to pay, he reduced it to twen-
tv.6ye cents, charging at the same rate for
water used in cleaning up. The claims at Qua
ter Hill are not yet fairly opened, but there is
considerable good mining ground in that Sec
tiop. and as the miners will now have an album
dance of water, they have a good prospect Of
doing well this winter.
THE MIDDLE YUBA.-Parties over from
,be Middle Yuba inform us that during the late
aood, the water rose ten feet higher than at
any previous time in the past ten years, and
six feet above the highest water marks. There
;s some reason to believe that the Middle Yuba
was higher on Monday morning than it had
been for two hundred years. Pine trees at least
two hundred years old, were swept away, which
we're SO situated that they must have been car
ried off had the water been as high since they
commenced growing as it was on Monday.
This il the opinion of persons living on the
river; though probably not much reliance can
be placed on such estimates, as the bed of the
stream may have changed greatly in two hun
dred years.
SHooTING.-A man named Charles Brown
was shot in the neck by Joseph Reed, at Grass
Valley, last Tuesday evening. Brown was on
horseback at the time, and had pistol in his
hand to shoot Reed, but his horse jumped and
threw him off before he could discharge his
weapon. At first it was supposed the wound
was mortal, but we are informed theman is like
ly to survive. The difficulty originated IN some
business transaction.
RED DoG.-We learn that the mining claims
ofMessrs. Kane & Co., at Birdseye Canon,
near Red Dog, were damaged to the amount of
about $500, during the late storm, by the wash
ing away Of their fumes, sluice boxes, and min
ing utensils. The damage in that section, by
the storm, was but small in comparison with
that done at other places.
GRASS VALLEY.-A gentleman from Grass
Valley informs us that Morisons Pan-tec-na-
thec-a is drawing crowded houses at that place.
1t will be exhibited there during the week.

What BIsHOP GENERAL Polk WANTED
A correspondent Of the Ohio State Journal
had conversation lately with the Right
Rev. Major General Bishop Leonidas Polk,
of which the following account is given:
We found Gen. Polk in much more comfort
able quarters, and rather more exclusive in his
company. He is fine, large, gray-headed man,
rather amiable looking, but distant. My case
was presented and the permission readily gran
ted. lie began to deplore this war, and won
dered what our people in the North intended by
1t. He thought they ought to stop it at once,
as they could gain nothing by its continuance,
&c. asked him how he would settle.
Gen. Polk-"By giving us all that belongs to
"What belongs to youi"
"All that has always been acknowledged
ours"
"DO YOU want Missouri
Yes, that is ours, undoubtedly"
"Do you want Kentuckyi"
"Of course, the Ohio river has always been
considered the line"
but Kentucky don't want you -
I'VE must have her."
You want all of Virginia"
"Of course"
"You must have Maryland?"
Most certainly"
What will you do with Washington"
ANY trouble about Washington arises from
It's unfortunate position. We don't want it;
ours"
