STILL HARPING.

We notice in this mornings Union a
call for another "Greenback Meeting" to
be held on next Friday evening at the
Court House. The former attempts to
effect the change in the basis of our bust
ness transactions were woful fzzles, and
we have as yet observed no demonstra-
tons of change in the public sentiment
upon the question. Greenbacks are re-
ceived, at present in payment of debts at
a higher value than they bear in New
York, and those who have superabund-
ance of them can readily dispose of them
to advantage. So long as Specific Con-
tract Law enables our citizens to do bust
ness with their eyes open, and to know
what they are contracting to reclaim for
their labor or merchandise, they will be
very unlikely to waive that advantage
and 90 it blind on the tender merciss Of
Wall street gamblers.

MARYsVILLE DISPATCH.
Important Arrest.

MARYsvILLE, Feb. l4-3 P. N.
Some six months since, it was discov-
cred that letters containing valuables were
systematically extracted from mails in the
Northern portion of this State, and robbed
of their contents. As soon as the fact came
to the knowledge of postal Agent Corbett,
he secured the services Of detective officer
Casad, of this city, who after considerable
trouble, traced the robbery to the Marys-
vile post office. By means of decoy let
ter. containing thirty dollars in greenbacks,
officer Casad succeeded in fixing the rob-
berry upon an employee of this Office,
named H. P. Eaton. Upon his arrest
this morning, the thirty dollars in green
backs in decoy letter, with some seventy
dollars extracted from other letters in the
same mail, were found in his possession.
1t seems that his plan was to carefully
open letters, and after taking the valua-
bles, fill them with paper to preserve their
bulk and weight, seal them again and for
ward them to their destination. From
confessions of the prisoner it is learned
that he has obtained some $4,000 since
last October when his depredations began.
Eaton is young man, about 81. years of
age, of respectable connections, and has
heretofore sustained an honorable char
acter. ........ ......

THE OVERLAND ROUTE.

The Salt Lake Telegraph says that If
the Overland Route is to be kept open,
and it be decided that it cannot be done
wi,hou, a considerable force of troops, 1t
will naturally be expected that they will
be furnished by the Government. That
is the most important lengthy desert route
in the country, and if security cannot be
maintained with ordinary peaceable rela-
tons, it ought to be BY permanent
armed occupation of the route. On four
or FIVE hundred miles of the route from
Denver eastward all, or nearly all, the
trouble occurs. If the peace must be kept
by physical force, on that stretch, there
could be military posts established every
hundred miles, or nearer, strongly forti-
fed. amply provisioned and supplied, and
sufficiently garrisoned to absolutely defy
all attempts at Indian attack or siege
each.to be beyond all possibility of surren-
der to the savage foe. These would form
so many nucleuses for settlers and places
of refuge for employees of different kinds.
Travel then need never be broken up
emigrants and mails could be escorted in
times of difficulty from post to post. This
periodical stopping up of the road is get
ting to be decided nuisance, and promises
TO become intolerable, falling with especial
weight upon thecitizens of the Territories.
True, the posts would be expensive, and
so is the present way of doing extremely
expensive. If these two ways are the
only alternatives-armed occupation and
periodical interruption-the expenses of
closely located military posts, we should
judge, is the one to be chosen, as the least
of the two.

Pearls.

1t is we'll known that the coast along
Chiriqui and Costa RIGA abounds in banks
of Pearl Oysters, which remain with
scarcely any molestation whatever. We
can barely remember that sbme twelve
years ago vessel went to Chiriqui and
took some two hundred tons of these
shells from Mr.. Charles Wagner, if we
remember correctly. At that time it was
the intention Of the late firm of Campbell,
Jones & Co., for which Mr.. Wagner was
agent, to enter into the business largely,
but before the house could mature its
plans and execute its designs, the acct
dents of trade caused it to close its estab-
lishments in this city. Since then we do
not remember to have heard of any one
else turning his attention to that quarter
for that valuable article of commerce. In
Costa RIGA we have heard of large guam.
titles of pearls being collected, but we
have no positive proofs that any consider
able shipments of pearl shells are made
from that direction either to Europe OF
any other place, and it is to be presumed
that the same drawback which prevents
the collection of large lots of shells on the
Coast of Chiriqui, is the same preventive
cause which forbids the collection along
the margins of Costa RIGA. ...
From the scanty accounts we have al
times received, it would appear that the
pearl oyster banks of ChiriQui is con-
tinuation of those of Costa Rica that they
oil
and that the quantity which now lies de.
posted there is almost inexhaustible. One
would suppose that so valuable an article
of trade would not b. allowed to remain
long at the bottom of the sea useless, when
there are artificial contrivances fully adap-
ted to bring it up from its rocky bed. Il
is said that divers, as general thing, OBJ
ject to GLOWING their vocation near the
shores of the main land because of the
sharks and other dangerous fish that
abound in the neighborhood; but we
know from experiments that have been
practiced in other countries that there are
diving bells and other machines that can
be safely used in defiance of these dreaded
monsters of the deep. What are required
are courage, capital and perseverance,
such as are also needed in all other new
enterprises of any importance-courage to
engage in the undertaking, capital to set
the machinery at work, and perseverance
not to be discouraged by casual obstruc.
tions. May we not expect that when we
are favored with steam communication
along this Coast the resources of the 18TH
mus will be better known, and this branch
of trade as well as others will meet the at
.tention which it merits.-Panama Chron.

Retribu,io, m Liverpool,

The financial crash that alluded to in
my last. says London letter of October
9th, is destined to be very disastrous.
Large failures are occurring daily in Liv-
erpool and Manchester, and the crisis is
not yet near its climax. I have just con-
versed with two or three gentlemen, lately
arrived from Liverpool, and they tell me
there is soon to be calamitous CONNER
cial crisis in that prosperous town. Liv-
erpool to all intents and purposes has
been port of the rebel States since your
misguided rebellion, broke out and from
peaceful and honorable merchants, nearly
every member of that community seems TO
have been transformed into bitter enemies
OF the United States, their Sole study to
see how much they can do for 1.-THE south
how much injury they can do 1.-THE North"
and how much money they could make
by feeding the rebellion and running the
blockade. Any person Of the least retiec-
ton must have foreseen day OF retrlou.
ton for such course but few anticipated
that it would arrive so soon.
True, some of the staple articles OF Llv-
erpool commerce have been cotton, tobacco
and rice, from the Southern States; but
the great fact cannot be ignored that Liy-
erpool has grown rich by trading with
New York and Boston by the traffic Of
the Northern merchants; the cargoes and
passengers of ships to and from the
Northern ports-the emigrants and Lam
cashlre goods sent out to the warehouses,
workshops, household and agricultural
and manufacturing districts of the North
ern, Eastern and Western States. And so
far as the staple products of the South are
concerned, they can only be looked on as
part OF the products Of the one great
country, the United States.
They were only paid for by British
goods consumed mostly in the North.
And yet these money making Liverpool
ians have, from the commencement of your
unfortunate struggle, been transformed
into bitter, active partisans, making every
effort for the disruption Of great country
that has fed this one by commerce Of
several hundred millions of dollars annu-
ally. And now its purely legitimate fruits
are crumbling to bitter ashes in their
mouths, like the famous apples, of the
Dead Sea. The poisoned chalice is COM
mended to their own lips. Who can
either envy or pity them;
You may look for series of failures
and period of financial distress in Liver
pool that will weigh hard upon that viii
lom prosperous place.

The PapaI Manife.so.

Encyclical Letter, or Bull against social

lierly. This is what the Paris Temps
says about it:

forced to seek. in the duties Of the citizens,

1t is, however, on the entire mass of the
faithful that the publication of the 9Th Of

PRoGREss.-Even the rebels have ac-
quired knowledge from experience. The
Richmond Wing now says that negroes IN
the prime of life will make better soldiers
than white men of fifty years of age.
Verify, the Yankees have taught that peo-
pie some valuable lessons, and at much
higher cost than the same information
could have been obtained by judicious
system of free schools, which they ig-
nored. Progress is vital law of nature.
If a people will not learn, sooner or later,
it will be pounded into them. A lesson
in human nature still awaits these rebel
leaders. They have yet to learn that ne
groes, though ignorant and debased by
generations of slavery, will not fight to
rivet chains upon their race. 'Chivalry
and high refinement can alone see beauty
and mercy in slavery. The Niger can't.

REPUTATION.

Our Virginia neighbors are looking the
proposition of "repudiation squarely in
the face, and alto do it or not to do it,"
is now the question. The Union shrinks
with horror from the idea and fatty asks
the Enterprise, "shan we repudiate:" The
latter SAYS that some hundred thousands
of dollars of the city and county deb. is
alleged to have been contracted in viola
ton of law, and that if such shall
prove to be the case, it is " in favor Of
repudiating the illegal Indebtedness Of
Virginia and Storey county" As to the
city debt, that is no business of the News.
As to repudiating indebtedness Of Storey
county, that is question with which we
have something to do, and when we are
sufficiently informed as to facts, we shall
claim and exercise the right of discussion.
We shall say no more, at present, than
that the mere fact that the law does not
compel US to pay debt is no honest rea-
son for its repudiation. If debt has
been contracted and the county has re-
ceived the benefit of the contract the debI
ought to be paid. In all cases where the
county has been swindled, every loop
hole of the law ought to be taken advan-
tage of for the evasion of the debt; but
that value should be paid for value re-
ceived, is a principle of justice that should
be respected by governments and peoples,
as well as individuals. When We ascertain
the facts concerning the outstanding in
debtedness of the county, alleged to have
been contracted in violation of law, we
shall apply the above principle to those
facts, and govern ourselves accordingly.
