The New York Economist argues that
prices will continue to advance. II
says the haryestis short, the staple fol
the manufacture of cotton clothing all
but gone-rofwoolen utterly insufficient,
wages, ,which must keep pace NTH the
cost Of fring, are advancing. What
then, is to be done? If inordinate
prices are to be avoided, we say it is
necessary to lessen consumption in ev-
cry practicable way. To increase pro-
duction is, for the reasons we have
given, impracticable; therefore, all that
we can do is to husband and econo,
mize the resources we possess. 1t is
for each man to inquire what is his per-
sonal responsibility in this matter, Let
us make one or two suggestions: 1
Invest your money in Government
securities instead OF private specula-
tions--make, the establishment of your
national credit your first business.
Introduce rigid system Of frugality
into your family government; let your
table'be supplied with plain food, and
avoid foreign luxuries. ,ad
LSI IHcIc fpc SreaI HoucTallOn III
dress-it is a physical impossibility to
furnish the same quantity ofclothing as
is usually required; let there be q
graceful submission to the iron necessi-
ty of the hour. ,, ...t,,I
Let no expense for entertainments or
amtsements, usually indulged in, be
sanctioned during the coming season.
Are wefnot warned of the necessity of
timely attention to these suggestions :?
Do they not commend themselves at
once to the Judgment and conscience
Is it not fitting that amid the roar Of a
thousand cannon belching forth de-
struction, and the groans from dying
soldiers, and the walls of their bereav-
ed wives and mothers, the sound of re-
joicing should be hushed in our streets?
Is it not well thatwe, by rigid and per-
sonal economy, should help the nation
to bear the mighty financial burdens
which the war entails? p
Do any then inquire why we SO con-
stantly insist upon the fact that prices
must advance? This is our reason: 10
be forewareed, as 10 be .Jo,earmed. The
financial condition Of the country is to
day much more critical than the military.

revoke his order for conscription" and
demonstrate against any draft upon
the able-bodied men of the country to
assist in prolonging the war that we be-
licve uncaled for and superlatively
wicked" They further declare "that
every iife hereafter lost in this most
atorocious war will be . deliberate mul

pocket Of tha taxpayer to further its
prosecution Q downright robbery"
The democrocy Of Delaware county,
Pennsylvonia, have resolved that the
Government ofthe United States has
no right to coerce a sovereign State,"
Such is Democracy in l5o4--openly

Openly on the one side of the rebellion.

Apal ling Steamboat Disaster
i'm France.

A terrible steamboat accident occur
red at Lyons, the 10th of July, result
! ing in the loss of27lives. New passen-
ger boats have been put upon the
Seine, which on Sunday convey great
numbers of country people from one
point ofthe river to another for two
cents. They are narrow, stand high
out of the water, and roll easily. One
of the thronged boats in passing mar
row bend 1urched so that the water
came in at the scupper holes, and an
account says: acc tiy
The inexperienced and easily terrif-
ed crowd Of French country people, ,lost
their feet and their heads at the same
moment, and allowed themselves to be
carried in compact mass against the
slight handrail which ran along the side
and offered the only resistance to the
impetus. The rail of course gave way
and more than fifty people were literal
iy ''emptied" into deep water. The
captain was carried overheard with
the rest. So compact was the strug-
Cling mass that at first, as described by
dil tyt-WllltSS, IL CiCdNCo tuC WdlcI
like a wedge, and for an instant the
river closed over its victims. The
next moment horrible scene was vis-
ible, as arms, heads and legs re-emerg-
ed on the surface, making desperate eff
forts to release themselves from the
death struggle. "The hands of many
of the women" says one account, "still
grasped contulsively their parasols. !"
Swimming under such circumstances
became well nigh impossible. even for
those who intended such means Of es-
cape. The captain himself went to the
bottom, seized hold of by two females,
one of whom clung round his neck
while the, other held his legs, and the
three sank together. "When the bod
les were being recovered says anoth-
er narration, "a string of nearly doz-
en- corpscs of men, women and children
was fished up at once, clinging to each
other like bunch of grapes. 1t was

CoPpERHEAD HEBoEs.-The Cop.
perheads are engaged in enumerating
the list of the heroes of this "Abolitioi
war" The array is frightfal to con.
template. The Hartford Times devotes
column to detail of their sufferings.
Some of them jump from the cars, al
the risk ofbreaking their useless necks
to escape the officers taking them to
the front. a mother in Indiana burnt
out the eyes of her son to prevent his
enlistmg. A drafted man in Delaware
threw himself before loaded team and
had his Ribs smashed, preferrihg to
die on his own account rather than
risk his life for his country. Others
have thier front teeth pulled; some cut
off thier fingers. A Boston gentleman
starved to death at Hamilton, Canada,
whittier he had fled to evade the draft,
and Vermont boy ran away and lived
in the woods for months for the same
reason. These are the Copperhead he
roes, and a very pretty show they
make. Ifthey had lived in primitive
times the Springfield Republican thinks
they would have been transformed into
eunuchs, and put in the kitchens and
nurseries as second help to the nurse
ry girls.

Sonth Troy is just now agitated by

that in consequence of its disarrang-

my own use, and before putting on the
tires I filled the felies with linseed oil;
and the tires have worn out and were
never loose. Iironed a buggy for my
own use seven years ago, and the tires
are now as tight as when put on. My
method of filing the fellies with oil is as
follows: / use long cast iron oil heater,

to boiling heat, the wheel is placed on

When the war first broke out.
young married man of Steubenville,
Ohio, volunteered. He was reported
killed at Perryyille, and subsequently
his wife received ametalic coffin which
purported to be the body of her hus-
band. She buried it with all due cere-
mony and affection, and after moro
more than a year elapsed, she married
again. A few days since, an exchang-
ed prisoner passed through Steuben-
vile, and left message from the hus-
band supposed to be dead,, that he
would probably be soon exchanged
and would be ONE again. Her pres
ent husband is a worthy man, and the
case becomes somewhat embarrassing.
A man calling himself George A.
Mason was arrested in CINCINNATI on
Saturday last for Maj. Gen. Burbridge,
and offering him $500 in gold to carry
it out. The party to whom this plan
was proposed caused his arrest. An
examination of papers found upon him
showed that he was an EnglishInan;
that he had been two years in the rebel
army that he had been imprisoned in
the Olb Capitol prison and since his re-
lease had travelled all over the West,
South and Canada, and had frequently
passed through our lines.
A down East editor said he was in
boat when the wind blew hard, but he
wasn't at all alarmed, he had his life
insured, and ''he never had anything
happen to him by which he could make
any money" 'g ,roHei9Dsaoo oiai
