MESSAGE OF Gov. 4. .. PATTERSON
friend at Denver City has sent US printed
copy of Gov. Pa.terson's message to the Third
House of Colorado Territory" As might be
expected by those of our citizens who know
"Pat," the message abounds in lively sallies
of wit and humor The closing para graph,
however, is both sublime aud prophetic; it is
as follows:
ave have all been born and bred towards
the rising snn-surroundedb by all the Injuries
ard comforts of life-stl time end space have
been annihilated by steam; and situated as
we are, so far towards the setting sun, we
seem isolated and lonely without hearing the
shrill shrek of the iron stced-the Gathering
of his hoofs, hurrying up the valey of the
Platte. But American energy and persever-
ance will soon bind cur young Territory with
bands of iron to the older States. 1t shall not
be long before we shall welcome the iron mes
senger at the base Of the Rocky Mountains
see him hurry through the mountain fast
nesses, and scare the proud eagle from her
crag on the newly discovered pass-and with
wide-spreading nostrils and fiery eye-balls
chase the deer and lyrx-eyed wolf from their
coverts, and triumphantly enter the great city
Of the Pacific"

GEN WASHINGTON on ARRESTS FOR TEEA-
soN.-At the time of the Revolutionary War,
Gen. Washington wrote to Gov. Trumbull, of
Connecticut, the following words. His Ian
guage had been supposed by some to be ca
pable of modern application:
"Would it not be prudent to seize those
Tories who have been, and we know will be
active against us? Why should persons who
are preying upon the vitals Of their country
be suffered to stalk about while we know they
will do every mischief in their power ?"

How THE GOVERNMENT is SwINDlED.-At a

some of the Government agents or inspectors

Resolved, That the Democracy of Brown county

resolutions adopted by the Democratic Union Con

Seizure of the Deposits of Southern
In Men arI< Ilrara

ers i'm the New York Banks.
There was considerable excitement in New
York during the past week, among the banks
money deposits of Southern men TO the extent of
fifty or sixty thousand dollars, by order CT the
Secretary of State. 1t appears that before the
commencement Of actual hostilities, but after the
secession of South Carolina. number of the
leading merchants, planters, and manufacturers,
the moneyed mea of the South. sent their funds
TO New York for safe keeping. These men are
not engaged in the war upon the Government,
except far they compelled to, and no
doubt would hail an end TO the rebellion. BY
placing their money n the North they manifested
their confidence in the stability of the Federal
Government and the integrity of the Northern
bankers. Ii is said that from fit zen to twenty
millions of dollars in specie has thus been placed
in the vaults of the New York banks. The
New York Herald. in referring to the matter,
remarks OF the action of Mr.. SEWARD: stsp 8
The deposit of this twenty millions in our
banks here was one Of the causes of the general
abundance of specie during the past nine months,
and its effect was Immediately shown in the fall
in the rate Of exchange, which has ever since
continued in our favor. With so much specie in
their vaults, our banks were enabled safely TO
guarantee the first instalment of fifty millions of
the treasury lcan and thus these Southern de-
positors not only deprived JEFF. Davis of the use
of their money, but actually contributed 1t, ndi
rectly. to the support of tie Government in its
efforts to crush out rebellion II they could not
serve the Union cause in person, they at least de-
posted their money where II could DO good SER
vice, and money has always been accounted the
very sinews of war This was one OF the great
causes of the success Of Secretary Chase's loan,
and now that Secretary Seward, without, seem
ingly, any consultation with the Secretary OF the
Treasury, has ordered these Southern deposits to
be seized, the national loan Immediately shows
the evil effect of this measure by falling of in
its subscriptions of fifty per cent Not only this,
but the bankers are hurying off this specie to
i Europe for safe keeping the rate Of exchange is

The small size No. l Salamander safe which
| purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam Il.
Barr, in Lancaster City, on July 20th, 1888,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it withstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, (S20,00O) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 27th of Ju-
", 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unscathed The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the ruins, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within The brick walls. After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation OF your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully
