boutwell, AND THE GoLD GAMBLERS.
The New York Herald says that in his
first brush with the gold gamblers the
Secretary of the Treasury has baffled
and beaten them. That when he an
nounced his purpose of selling million of
gold weekly in exchange for gold bearing
bonds, the Wall street rings formed a
coalition against him, and, for short
time. managed to run gold up from 139
to IA, and then sent Chittenden to warn
him that unless he changed his plans,
the precious metal would go up to ITS,
but that the trick met with signal failure,
and they soon found that he had them in
his leading strings, and can now haul
them short at his pleasure. 1t says:
''Here we have an important point
settled. The gold room is within the
control OF the Secretary OF the Treasury.
Next it appears that his general report
for the month of May will exhibit the
handsome figure of $1,000, 900 in the re-
duction of the public debt. He has
given us the same for the month of
April, or $14 900, 900 in two months, and
he can do better as he goes ON and more
fully realizes the advantages within his
grasp in the way OF retrenchment and
savings. Y n
He carries the whole weight of the admi-
nlstration upon his shoulders. and ap-
pears to be the only member of the Cabi-
net who Is doing anything to meet the
opportunities before him and the expec-
tations of the country. Let him push
forward in reducing the debt, the inte-
rest on the debt, and the expenses of the
Treasury, and let him avoid meantime
any contraction of our needful ciroula-
ton, and the country will sustain him. ~

Mr. EDITOR: Passing along Washing
ton street, few days since, my atten-
tion was attracted towards a newly made
article of domestic manufacture, known
as mattress. Myself and friends ex-
amined it carefully in all its parts, the
materials; sewing, height, elasticity,
&C., and if we are not very much mis-
taken, it is fully equal, if not superior,
to anything of the kind brought here
from the North; and, more important
still, in point of cheapness it cannot be
surpassed. Mr.. Grieshaber is the manu-
facturer; and 1 would advise all who are
in want of 6 cheap, durable article, to
give him m early call.

1t may be truthfully said that the
greatest of all blessings is health, for
without it, it is impossible to enjoy the
life that God has given us. A healthy
stomach, a good digestion, good con-
science are requisites so important in a
physical and moral point of view to human
happiness, that we presume no one will
question it. To all alike is health essential
for life's enjoyment and pursuits; to old
and young, to rich and poor, to man and
woman. Are you in search of wealth?
health is essential; do you desire Office
and worldly hours? of what avail would
these be without health? The beauties of
spring, the song of birds. the deep blue
skies, all have poetic fascination with
the pure in mind and body; but what are
they without health? To say with the
poet, as one feels the throbs of O health
full heart: "This world is very lovely Oh,
that may live." And 80 to continue,

The secret Of the terrible Erie Railway
calamity at Carr's Rock, near Port Jervis, In
April last has been revealed by the unhappy
wretch who was the author of 1t. His name
Is Bowen. He wasformerly In the employ of
the company, and Is now in Jail on charges of
perjury and obstructing the railroad. The
unfortunate creature, by his own confession,
seems to have had wanton and morbid
passion for committing destruction on the
railroad. 1t appears that on the occasion in
question, which was attended by such severe
loss Of life, he dislodged and bent rail,
putting spike under it in such manner that
any train coming from the west would inevi-
tably be thrown off the track. The doomed
train did come from the west, and we already
know the bloody consequences. The prisoner
states that he did not know from which direc-
ton the next train was coming, but was
assured from his knowledge Of railroad matters
that the eastward bound train would be GER
tainly thrown off by his dendish mode Of
taking vengeance upon the company BY whom
he had been previously discharged for mis-
conduct.
This revelation, coming from guilty and
heavily-oppressed conscience, suggests the
disagreeable idea that we are always subject
in railroad travelling to the catastrophe
which may arise from the viciousness of q
rufian like this. It might suggest also to
railroad companies the propriety of not leaving
the tracks exposed to contingencies Of this
character.

The CrOps-The Spectators,

The effort made by spectators to create the
idea that the crops are short, and thus give
some sanction to their purpose to advance the
price Of breadstuffs, is transparent humbug
The Associated Press has lent itself to this nefa-
rious scheme by circulating dispatches all over
the country to the effect that the corn crop has
suffered severely from the drought all over the
Southern States. This is an old dodge, and
we have seldom known an instance when it
was tried that the facts did not give the lie to
the rumor by showing better corn crop than
ever. These canards are always cases of
smoke without fire. 1t Is we'll known that the
harvest of wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and
hay was never better than it is this year.
These products are all safely secured on the
farms all over the country, and in abundance,
too. The barns are loaded with grain. The
cattle are luxuriously provided with fodder for
the coming winter If the farmers have any
reason to complain it Is because the abundant
harvest which Providence allotted to them
may reduce the market prices of their produce
and disappoint the narrow-minded, the lazy

richness of the harvest.
1t is therefore absurd as we'll as wicked, foi
| spectators to undertake the task of making

from ten to twenty cents each are now
ticketed at six and twelve cents. All such
establishments should be patronized, and the
