rINANcIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

We report large receipts Of grain, an increase
of trade and general increase of business since
our last issue For the last three weeks corn
has ranged from 9Oc to 81 per busAel, wheat
about $3.50, and oats SOC per bushel,-all high
prices, and must necessarily bring large receipts
to the farmers, providing they sell their produce
and do not hold for higher prices, and get less.
We advise ell farmers to sell their produce as
fast as they can get it to market We know that
the present prices are really high, that the wheat
and oat crop of the country is large, and from
present prospects our corn crop will be unusually
large, and we can certainly fear that the present
years crop will have tendency to overstock the
market and bring us, sooner or later, lower
prices; this must necessarily follow, should the
supply exceed the demand, it did in 1861,
and in other years within our remembrance. 1t
sounds strangely and appears to us SO foolish to
hear farmer that has sold many wheat crop
for 60c per bushel. say he is not willing to sell
his wheat for $3.50 per bushel, but will hold 1t
for a hgher price!
Money in the larger cities is growing gradual
" tighter, as must necessarily be the case when
so much is drawn from them by the produce
holders and shippers.
Gold is a very little lower, and is quoted in
New York at 1431a, and is worth about 140 in
Ottawa. Silver 1876
Foreign drafts very little lower, and are
being purchased quite largely by foreigners here
to send to their friends at home.
Exchange on New York and Chicago remains
about the same.
Government bonds are steady, but very dull,
and will probably go little lower. They are
quoted by F. A. Sherwood s. Co. as follows:

OVERLAND MONTHLY. The November
numbsr Of this excellent work has been re-
csivsd, and partially psru.sd. We have rs
peatsdly rscommssded this work to tbs pub
lie, and find pleasure in being more thar
borne out 10 our high recommendations By
each successive number. In the present
number" A Cruise on SLAYER" is a good
and we'll written article, and is 10 good taste
except that the author makes himself ratbel
conspicuous in the narrative. "Sahara and
the Ssbaraus," is "a good article and 30 ii
"Carthsgena." The latter is true to the letter
and should be read by every American citi
zen. 1t is the miniature history ofour South
sru States, written but one generation in ad
vance. "The Dead Rvers of California
is, 10 our mind, the browning article Of the
number. Perhaps this is occasiooed BY oul
location, and former thoughts and studies
upon this subject. e..

More EIMPEAcHMENT-The Radical carpet
bag Legislature of Florida who have denied
the.white men and negroes who elected them
the right 10 vote for Presidential Electors,
have, as we are informed by telegraph. i'm
peached their Mongrel Governor. Reed,
the Governor impeached and removed, con
tends that the act ia not legal, and is going
TO appeal to the courts. How much this
news sounds like that which We got from
Panama, Mexico, and the Mongrel Gov
ernmsnts Of South America. This Florida
Government, under the rule of carpetbag'
gers, is a jolly one. The first act in its
reconstruction was 10 dsfrancbiss the South
ern whites, aud enfranchse the negroes;
this secured Governor aud Legislature Of
carpet.baggsrs. This new government then
disiranchised tho negroes, and elected the
Presidential Electors by the Legislature, and
by this act, and the operation Of the l4lh
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, deprived the State of United States
Senators and Congressmeu, and now they
have removed the Governor. What is the
status Of the Florida Government? The peo
pie, neither white or black, can vote, and
the State has no legal representatives al
Washington; the Governor is removed, and
the cabal Of carpet-baggers have assumed
sole control
Is this Republican form Of government
Thus has one reconstructed State severed
her connection with the sovereign people o
the State, and the United States Govern
men.. Go it, carpet baggsrs. ..

America:
PROCLAMATION.
In the year which is now drawing TO its
end, the art, the skill and the labor of the
people OF the United States have been sm.
ployea with greater diligence and vigor, and
on broader fields, than ever before. and the
fruits Of the earth have been gathered into
the granary and the sorehouse 10 marvellous
abundance. Our highways have been length.
ened, and new and prolfc regions have been
occupied. We are permitted to hope tba!
long protracted political and sectional dis
sentions are, at no distant day, to give place
to returning harmony and fraternal affection
throughout the republic. Many foreign
States bave entered into liberal agreements
with us, while nations which are far of, and
which heretofore, have been unsocial and ex
elusive, have become our friends. The annu-
al period OF rest which We have reached in
health and tranquility, and which is crowned
with SO much blessing, is, by universal con-
sent, a convenient and suitable one for cuti-
vating personal piety, and prac,cing public
devotion. l, therefore, recommend that
Thursday, the 26th day of November next,
be set apart and observed by all the people
of the United States as day Of public praise,
thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty
Creator and Divine Ruler Of the universe, by
whose ever a,chful, merciful and gracious
providence alone States and Nations, no less
than families and individual men, do live
aud move and have their being.
