BLIND ToM.--A large audience assem-
bled at Washington Hall last night to
witness the performance of this strange
genius. The great musical talent OF
this blind and uneducated negro is
truly wonderful. He is not only a skill
full and superior pianist but is also a
superior vocalist. We would urge all
our friends TO go and see and hear for
themselves.

If the Nation means to continue publish
ing long argumentative articles about nothing,
we beg to suggest that its title be changed to
the RdbOcindtiOm.-MrS. GrHndy.
As thcre appears to be no lady contribu-
tors to the Nation, 1t has been suggested
that for this and other reasons its name be
changed to the Stag -NatioR.-Press.
The Nation.-One Of the most ponderous
periodicals Of the day is the journal bearing
this title. If there be anything more over
powering than its advertised army of con-
tributors, it is the perusal Of their contribu-
tions. Is il possible that any other editor
can endure the labor Of reading all these
essays once week in manuscript And
having read, is any human intellect equal to
the task Of their comprehension As for
their appreciation, that is the public s affair
and likely to be as well performed as is
''everybody's business" generally .-CHisen.
THE NeD Nation has again made its
appearance. We have looked at it-that' s

it frantically asks, "What are we ?" To

road party under Col. Sawyer from Sioux
City, arrived at Fort Conner, on Powder
river, alter many hardships, in destitute
condition. They report tho route by Mime.
raza and White rivers imp-acticable. They

among them Col. Sawyer's brother.
The route from Montana to this place, via
Fort Conner, Powder river, and Clarks Fork,
following the cast base of Big Horn Noun
tains, is reported practicable. 1t cuts off
four hundred and fifty miles of the distance
by the old trail. Plenty of wood, water, and

We have already given the result of the
meeting Of the creditors of X, S. & Co
The following is the dying speech and con

Esq, Of counsel for the concern:
Ngw York, August 81, 1865
To the Creditors or Ketchum, Son 4 Co.
GEsTLEMEs: A sudden and disastrous
blow has prostrated our house. The conduct
of one Of its members, too painful for me to
dwell upon, has deprived us of upward

Securities belonging to others are ab-
stracted, as we'll as those belonging to the
firm. The former, we are advised by our
counsel and mercantile friends, it is our first
duty to replace. That being done, and trust
funds secured, we have made an assignment
of all our property for the equal benefit of
all our creditors. have also assigned all
my private property for the same purpose.

seconded, / never had the slightest doubt of
my sons integrity never supposed him ca
pable Of doing wrong to any one, and least of
all to me; even now his conduct is inexpli-
cable, and l cannot believe he was in his

never have supposed that the amount taken
was beyond the ability of the house to re-
place, and the secrecy, therefore, was the
dictate equally of good sense and kindness.
l do not blame them, for they acted accord
ing to their best judgment, and under trying
circumstances. They have filed prominent
positions in my house for many years. hav-
ing, deseryedly, my entire confidence, unim-
paired by tho decision they came to in their
efforts to regain the securities abstracted.

render plain to you the state of our affairs,
and to ask your advice. Five gentlemen
whom you all know as Of the highest charac-
ter and ability as merchants, Messrs. Moses
Taylor, Jonathan Sturges Edmund g. Howe,
benjamin b. Sherman, and John j. Phelps,

The letters requesting this examination, and
their answer, are subjOined.

expressing to you my deep regret that any Of
you should be II loser by our failure. In my
prosperity l never supposed this would hap

1t is not the loss of my own property which
causes me my deepest regret, for now, if |

VALUABLE MUSEUM.


One of the few good things that have been
derived from the great evil of our late civil
war is the United States Army Medical Mu.
scum, now located opposite to Rev Dr. Cur.
LEr's church in this city. Here is to be
found the largest collection of specimens and
objects illustrating the injuries received by
the human body in battle to be found in the
world. This collection numbers already
about five thousand specimens, and we can
not, perhaps, give better idea to our read
ers of their quality than by copying few ol
the labels in the cases where the bones etc.
have been arranged with great neatness and
skill. We find there a great number of
"Fractures of the skull !" "Gunshot wounds
ofthe Wima and radiWS" "(bones of the arm from
the elbow to the wrist, "Gunshot fractures of
the Elbow, y "Excisions of the Elbow, obs
eases Of the stumps after amputation of the
arm, " "Excisions Of the continuity of the
humerus" Qarge bone Of the arm), "Gun,
shot fractures of the shaft of the hnmerns, y
9 Excisions Of the head Of the hmmcrus, u
"Gun-shot fractures of the shoulder joint, -
"Gun-shot fractures Of the pelvic bones, -
"Gun-shot wounds Of the thoracic parieties, y
"Gun-shot fracture of the vertebrae, u " HiI
joint amputations," "Hip joint injuries, -
"Gun-shot injuries of the Jcmur' (thigh
bone), Partial reparation after fractures Of

putation Of thigh, " "Gun.shot fractures Of

gadenic alterations after gun.shOt wounds, )
Partially united stumps," gun-shot wound!
of the earpuS, (small bones Of the wrist,
gun.shot wounds of the mctaca,pUs, (smal
bones of the hand.)
Each specimen is prepared and mounted
with great care and numbered, and the rec
ords of the museum give the history Of eacl
case. 1t will readily be seen that this col
lection must possess immense value to stu
dents of medicine and surgery, who will
doubtless visit it from all parts of the civil

with much interest the remains of their LOST

that no such banking institutions can
