The speech of Mr.. Secretary Cameron,
at the dinner of the st. Andrews Soci ETY.

partment has illustrated the sincerity of
his declarations. More systematic and eff
fective labor has been performed in the
last eight days than any corresponding pc
riod of time. The country will give him
SANITATION and support in the highest ex-
ercise of his energy in accommodating a
force which will make resistance hopeless.

WE are free to acknowledge the many
e1cellencies of the New York Times as n
newspaper, but still it has rare habit oc-
caSiOually, of getting both its feet into
''tLe elbows of the Mincio.n For instance,
the other day it went of half cooked
about the Wheeling Convention, and had
long article, stating that it had, by vote
of So to o, adopted resolution dividing
the State. The Commsreid! Adrsrtiser takes
the Times 10 task for its blunder, in an ar

at the expense of one of the editors of the

for the Associated Press, saying that their
mistake was due to the .'Ambiguity" of its
information. As showing that ambiguity,
it says:
Ia the dispatches from Wheeling, dated
the 18th, published likewise in all the CITY

Ayes, 56-not u vote being cast in the neg

A CONVENTION ofSouthern bankers has
been held at Atlanta, Ga. The represent
tation was rather slim, but it was large
enough to ruin the banks. They agreed
to receive on deposit and in payment of
arms, and to pay out at par, the bonds of
the ConfederHcy; to take their share res
pectively of the loan, as soon as the bonds
are ready aud to communicate as soon as
possible their concurrence in this request
to the Secretary of the Treasury at Rich
mOnd. The railroad companies were also
requested to exhibit a like self-sacriicing
spirit. What is a bank good for after it
has been "putthrough course of sprouts"
like that? With every dollar of specie
thrown away for worthless bonds, their
notes are not worth the paper on which
they are printed.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says
that in the opinion of many sagacious peo-
pie business will take an improved turn
after the extra SESSION of Congress, which
commences July 4tb. and certainly after
harvest. The immense amount of money
expended by the Government among the
people is gradually quickening Industrial
interests, and this is likely to increase as
the war progresses, Though Southern
debts are repudiated, the old fOgy credit
system is destroyed At the same time. The
medicine may be bitter, but its effect will
be ssIutaFy. In the opinion of the best
business men. the.Norlh will regain oil the
prosperity it has lost before the channels
OF trade for the South are ever opened.

NOrtlTVeRt.


Brigadier. Genernlissimo Raymond (old
Tom) has, we suspect, boon made to feel
very like a fool, by the recent run of
events in Western Virginia. He went off
TO Richmond this last time in fulllfsathers,
and in allthe rampant consequence and
peacock importance of his newly acquired
sPaulettes. Atthe Fairmout depot, just as he
wasabout tosethis royal foot in the cars, he
was told of the action of the merchants of
Wheeling that they had refused to pay
taxes to the Richmond conspirators-and
he swelled up with vast Indignation at the
intelligence His last words were 10 the
effect, that he would soon bring them to
their milk. He was going away, then, but
soon, like Catalina, he would 'come
again" and dreadful was to be his coming.
Terrible as an army with banners was to
be his appearance. The Northwest would
ere long be glad to get down on their re-
pentant knees, and kiss Pope Haymond's
toe. De was to be the ''bulIy boy" that
would bring indictments to terms, or else,
by all the gods at once, he would confis-
cate their property. He was to come back
as a General Major Genernl-and Al
pheus, his son, and old Zed. and Jim Nee
son, were to be so many right bowers in
his grand army.
But alas, "there's many n slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip" and so it has been with
old Toms graudiloqueut programme. We
don't suppose several yoke of oxen could
induce him to return. a camel engine
ceuld hardly drag him into the Northwest.
And as for ''the son of his father, aud old
Zed, and jim, they are not boweis, as they
expected, riding it and lording it far and
near, with fine feathers in their caps. They
are all away-all scattered, nobody knows
cares. Never were menso
completely capsized just in the niche of
time. Under the lead of the t.Virginia
Statesman" who once inhabited these
parts. they thought they chad founded a
royal dynasty of officeholders for the
Northwest. Old Tom was To be the mill
tnry chieltain the balance of his days, at a
fat salary, and the "Virginia statesmen"
was to succeed Mason. Old Kid was to go
to Congress just as often as he wanted
NeesOn was to have life estate in the
State Senate. Alpheus was to he per-
petuul legislator, and Oldham and the rest
were to be well provided for, They were
all to be nicely chartered at various cribs,
and altogether they were to constitute a
sort Of Germany, each one being IA little
mightiness of some sort, undOr the title of
Cotton princes of tile Confederate realm.
But see how they have all been dished.
They are now princes without thrones or
revenue; in fact so many Bourbons or Or
leanistS scudding before the wind, seeking
q safe place and few crumbs here and
there, among their brother despots over

A oheerlng word rrom Kentucky

"A Cheering Word from Kentucky.
We are permitted to publish the follow
ing extract from private letter to friend
in Brooke county, from prominent Union
man in Kentucky:
know you will thank me for sending
you an early copy of Mr.. Hollis magnifi-
cent letter. To my mind it is altogether
the ablest exposition of the unhappy con-
dition of our country which we have had.
1t ought TO be read and re-read by all peo-
pie. We are prouder of him to-day than
ever before. The sick soldier ut Sebasto-
pol kissed the shadow of Florence Night
engale as it fell upon his pillow; and rs
the reflected glory of 10. Holt liehtens
the escutcheou of our cherished State, we
call for new blessings upon him, already
gifted and blessed beyond his fellows.
Have we not reason to be proud of Ken
lucky? Who looms up so prominent be-
fore the eyes of all men to-day, as Robert
Anderson And as the warrior Anderson,
so stands the patriot statesman Holt They
are Rentucky's sons. They are the men
who make paths through the impossible"
\ few such noble men in the far South,
would would have stayed the march of this
fearful revolution. Men, there, of whom
We had right TO expect better things,
covered and were overwhelme1-but the
furious wave which swept with such re-
sistless force over them, was shivered in
to spray when IL struck against the eternal
loyalty of Kentucky. But that spray was
poison. We read that in the Shasta VAL
ley, are streams whose waters iucrust with
stone everything they touch: the dry twig
and the green leaf. Those waters of the
Shasta are symbolic of the Secession move.
The whole moral nature of the country
seems to be converted into stone, aud even
the mist from tue broken wave which
dashed against us, has told too sensibly on
the vitality of Kentucky.
What shall be the policy Of yonr peo-
pie, Of course have no opinion. Wheth-
er to organize New Virginia out of the
Western counties, or by Convention to
CLAIM power over the State, and depose the
present rulers. These are questions TOR
statesmen. My own feelings, whether en- :
dorsed by sound Judgment or not, would
prompt the advocacy Of a new State. What
ever may be the determination, you can
have no more earnest sympathizer than
myself.

bloody hands on Carlile. How they would
