Valladinghan's Success Depend,
upon his Country's Rum.

ValladinSham'S success Depends
upon his Country's Rum.
II is not strange that the Vallandighnm
party should feel uncomfortable over the
success of the Union Army, when their suc
eess depends upon its defeat. Every "man
woman or child in the country has observed
'be unwillingness Of these mon to believe
the reported victories Of our arms, and the
evident delight with which they receive and
circulate every rumor Of rebel success.

Mayor Opdyke,s Veto.

The Mayor OF New York deserves the
thanks Of the best citizens for the veto'of the
measure lately proposed by the Aldermen
TO pny the exemption fec of drafted mon. -
That measure was bone thrown to a bark
ing mob, and would have been cowardly ex.
copt that il was proposed not in cowardice
but in 6isloyalty. Its design was to cheat
the Government Of soldiers. The Alder
men are in sonie respects more gontlenanly
than rioters, but in their hostility to the
Government they do not greatly differ from
Gov. Seymour's ''ffiends." IL it not plain
that the Government, by draft, wanted
men and not money! Why, then, docs the
Board Of Aldermen try to cheat tho Gov
erment ofits due2 This same Board, for
Party reasons, lately profered extraordinary
hon0rs to q late commander Of the Army OF
the Potomno. We suggest that il should
now, for patriotic reasons, consult the rank
and hlc Of that army to know whether or
not the soldiers in tho feld are in favor of q
draft among their friends at home. The
Mayors veto uses plain speech in speaking
OF the late riot, charging i upon Northern
conspirators iu the interest OF the Southern
rebellion. lie says also:
"A riot Is never TO DO propitiatod; but q
riot begun under such circumstances il to
DO met with nothing but defiance. Any
concession to Il, real or seeming. is full OF
danger, For my own part, I win have moth
iug to do with il but TO emplby whatever
power ! possess to aid in crushing il at sal
hasards. "
This extract speaks the truth, and has the
right ring. II we are to have rebellion in
the North lot us fight Il out now, aud have
il the sooner over II there is not pluck
enough in the bettor blood OF this city 10
overmaster its riotous rowdies, not only we
but the rioters themselves will be greatly

king rapid strides in building up large
wholesale trade Almost every day we
see new evidence of this gratifying fact
The number of our wholesale houses is
only limited by the building capacity of
the city, and the second floors even are
being invaded by enterprising firms who
are unwilling to be driven from market
promising SO hopeful future. These
reflections naturally arise on looking
around the establishment of McGary &
Co., No. Is, Main street, Second Floor
Our young Irlenu oweetser, formerly with,
Archer & Mackey, is installed in this new
house which will confne itself exclu-
sively to white goods, fancy articles and
notions, and takes hold with a zeal and
enthusiasm that cannot fail to secure a
good trade We wish him and the new
firm all success.

Run ON BANKs.-Our telegraph news
give an account of run on the South
ern Bank of Kentucky, at Carrollton, by
which it was relieved of $4,000 in spe-
Gle and $4,000 in notes. There was a
rrn or the branch of the Rank nf tho
but OF a different character. A couple
of horses attached to wagon becoming
frightened started to run with the driver
in the wagon. He held on manfully, but

ran on the pavement in front of Law

tering some of the crockery that happen
ed to be in the window, and continuing
on down the pavement ran into the steps
in front of the bank The iron railing
was torn from its socket and some of the
corners of the large stone steps were
crumbled by the conclusion.
The old man in the wagon held on 10
the last and finally succeeded in STOP

We are happy to state the Branch
Bank stood up against this ''run" as it
has against all others, in a manner well
calculated to assure the people Of the

place to while away passing hour as
it is the best place to obtain any article
in either the musical or fancy line.
Handsome pianos, melodeons and Or

arrangements are such that they can Or

In the fancy department we notice a
little of everything and some few things
besides The finest cutlery in the city
NAV be found here. The most fragrant
extracts, done up IN the nnoS' 'as'oiu'

celebrated Morton gold pens, and silver

B@- We learn from gentleman who
was passenger on the boat, that the lit
tie steamer Cordelia Ann, bound for the
Cumberland river with heavy load,
struck a snag at the foot of EFlint Isl
and on Wednesday morning last, and
sunk in few minutes afterwards. The
pilot run her upon the bar and she set
tied in such position that not great
deal of labor will be required to pump
her out and get her afoat again. The
cargo was ouly slightly damaged.
At the time the boat struck, one OF the
crew was heaving the lead, and so great
was the concussion that he pitched head
long into the river and practically tested
the correctness of the depth ofwater IN
dicated by the lead. As we passed
Flint Island yesterday morning the Cor
della Ann was afoat and all light as fal
as we could see.
