The Secretary of the Treasury has
instructed his assistant at Washington
to continue through September the
weekly purchases Of bonds and sales Of
gold which have been made throughout
August. Any one who pleases has q
right to guess that Mr.. Boutwell, means
to keep doing so until directed by Con-
gress to do otherwise. We heartily
trust such is his purpose.
About 10000 bushels of peaches
have been shipped this season by the
fruit growers near New Albany to Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Lafayette and Indian

gion calculate that next year there will

BY the death Of relative in Tex
as some months since, who died with
out issue, leaving a fortune of $500
900, family in this county consisting
of eight children, it is thought, will
inherit this sum, making for each a
fortune of 100000. Efforts are to be

The author of the following sub
lime effusion deserves the emincntly
devout prayers Of the press:
"Breathcs there man with soul so
dead, who never to himself hath said
I will my county paper take, both for
my own and family's sake? If such
there breathe, let him repent-and have
to him the paper sent; and if he'd pass
a happy winter-he in advance should
pay the printer"
A romantic radical youth, promena-
ding in one of the fashionable streets of
New York picked up a thimble He
stood awhile meditating the probable
beauty of the owner, when he pressed
it to his lips, saying: Cob? that it
were the fair cheek of the wearer."
Just as he had finished. a stout, elderly
ncgress looked out of an upper window,
and said: "Massa, jist please to bring

The revenue officers in Utah have
received instructions to tax the church
property of the Mormons, and there is
every prospect of a lively time between
the Mormons and the Government Of
fcials The Mormons declare they will
not submit to the tax. and it is thought
that Brigham is just headstrong enough
to execute the threat he made to Scna-
tor Trumbull short time since. to put
these obnoxious officers out of the ter

"A number of influential Cubans,
residing in New York, have published
an eloquent protest against the sale of
Cuba to the United States They de-
clare the war to be waged solely for in
dependence, and nothing less. The
proposition of Minister Sicklcs is de-
nounced as unjust to Cuba, and espe-
cially odious to the patriots. The right
of Spain to dispose of them is not rec

clare they perfer humiliation to being
bought and sold They declare that
they are making an honest and legiti-

yoke, and hope confidently that the
American people will see that they are
not devoured by the rapacity of the

among the negroes to emigrate. In a
single county of Tennessee, more than
four hundred negroes are preparing to

or is he beginning to feel the first wave
of that tide of emigration, which is run

first, the negro may yet play part in
the history of this country. If the lat
