els-CharacteristiC Letter Of

fishes the following extract from private
letter from Lieut.. Boughton, dated Head.
quarters, Second Division, Sixth corps, near
Petersburg, Va, June u, 1864:
III send with this true copy of letter
written. by James Buchanan to John Tyler,
president of the Peace Convention on the
22d day Of February, 1861. The original
was taken by Captain w. II. Long, Assist
ant-Adiutant. General, from the house Of
John Tyler, near Charles City Court House.
| had the clerk make the copy myself, and
know it to be correct.
There was another letter, copy OF
which did not obtain, dated the same, or
day previous asking what effect the parade
would have on the peace convention. -
Tyler's reply we did not get, Of course. -
This seems to have been written on account
OF his (Tyler's) complaining that the effect
would be bad.
at seems impossible to conceive that a
President of the United States would so
humiliato himself and his country by apollo
gizing 10 one Of his countrymen for sllaw-
ing one or two companies Of regular troops
to participate in the celebration of Wash
ington's birthday. 1t would seem to show
conclusvely that he was not with, but rath-
er against us in our struggle for life. 1t
were better for that man had he never been
born.
s.. WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1861.
"'MY DEAR SIR: found it impossible
to prevent two or three companies Of the
federal troops from joining in the procession
to-day with the volunteers of the district
without giving serious offence to the tens Of
thousands OF people who have assembled to
witness the parade.
1.-The day is the anniversary of Wash
ington's birth, festive occasion throughout
the land, and it has been particularly mark
cd by the House of Representatives.
The troops everywhere else join such
professions in honor of the birthday of the
Father Of our Country, and it would be
hard to assign good reason why they
should be excluded from the privilege in
the capital founded by himself. They are
here simply as a posse comHatus, to aid the
civil authorities in case of need Besides,
the programme was published in the Ma
tional Intelligencar Of this morning without
my personal knowledge-the War Depart
meDt having considered the celebration of
the national anniversary by the military arm
of the Government as matter of course.
From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN.

HFAIRBANKs' SCALES. - Abou


thirty, FIVE years ago, the Messrs. Fairbanks
invented and began making platform Scales,
which effected complete change in the
manner of doing such business as requires
weighing, and without which it would be
impossible to do the present immense
amount Of business in the country. Since
then they have given their constant person
al attention to the business, making all such
improvements and adding such modifica-
tions as their experience has shown to be
desirable. During this time many other
kinds Of Scales have been invented, and
more Or less tried by the public, and mainly
thrown aside, while the business of the
Messrs. Fairbanks has steadily increased
from year to year, their scales now standing
higher in public estimation, and their sales
being very much larger than ever before -
This shows very strongly the excellence and
durability of Fairbanks Scales.

Allegheny Cattle Market.
ALLEGHANY CITY, Jul

ALLEGHANI Cllf, July L.
We have seen markets which were con
sidered hard but it is probable the time
will never come when cattle will sell worse,
according to their cost at home, than they
did on Monday, the opening day of our
market. At an early hour in the morning
all the yards were filled with cattle, and
among the large number offered for sale but
paratively few good ones could be found
Really good stock, suitable for the retail
trade, did not dcpreciute so much in value
as the inferior and common grades. 1t is
almost impossible to give the exact decline,
for many drovers became alarmed for fear
they could not sell out, and thinking the
market might be worse on Tuesday, sold at
almost any price that could be offered.
There was quite number of strangers
here with cattle, aud as generally is the
case, when such men sell their own cattle,
low prices sprevailed-prices thatthey would
qavc been unwilling to leta broker sell at.
We saw thin cattle sell at two and three
cents, which broker could have worked off
at five cents For example, certain Ohio
drover worked hard all day endeavoriDg to
sell his stock, and in the evening finding
himself with a considerable number still on
hand and greatly discouraged, he persuaded
one of our brokers to buy him out. That
same broker afterward sold that same bunch
of cattle at profit of twelve dollars per
head Such instances as the one above no
ted are quite numerous, but there are men
who, rather than pay slight commission
to a broker, appear willing to trust to
luck "
The market opened more briskly on
Tuesday morning, and long before night all
the cattle were sold, and that, too, at an
advance over Mondays quotations. There
were several eastern buyers in market, and
they would have taken more cattle if they
could have got them.
The following are the current quotations
for the different grades Of cattle =,
