THx Southern ladies are circulating,
for signatures, o letter, which is to be
presented to Mr.. Peabody, and which is
an exposition Of their condition and ne
cessi.iss, resulting from the rebellion.
The war, they say, has deprived them
Of their natural protectors, and it 10 es-
timated that every dead soldier has left
ut least n woman who had been de-
pendent upon him. They do not ask
for immediate pecunisry assistance, but
urge that a portion Of Mr.. P~eabody's
generous gift to the South should be APP
propriated to founding. an institution in
which Southern women could be taught
~smployments by which they might sup.
port themselves. They wish to learn,
among other things, printing, engrav-
ing, carving, painting, gardening, book
keeping and t~elegraphing. 10 conelu-
sion, the letter says:
Even if very few could DO trained in this
school, great good would be done; for each
pupil, returning to her native town, would
convey to its Inhabitants the germs Of en-
tirely new ideas. She would carry to many
~fainting hearts the good tidings that their lot
is not so hopeless as it seems-that they
may yet be saved both from the scanty sup
port Of i'll paid and %exhausting labor, and
irom the humiliation Of eating the bitter
bread Of dependence. In conclusion, we
would express to you in our names, aud in
those OF our fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons, our gratitude to you for what you have
already done for your impoverished fellow
countrymen Of the South.

PoLIrrcAL.-In New York the Repub-
lican State Convention meets at SYRIA
cuse to-day, September goth. In Min
nesota the Democratic State Convention
met last Thursday, at st. Paul. The
Republican State Convention has already
been held, but nominated a ticket that
was distasteful to a section of the party,
and it, under the name Of the " Peoples
Party" will hold a State Convention a.
St. Paul, October It'll. In Cincinnati
and Chicsgo, where the Republicans
have been for many years dominant,
that party has split over tho nominations
Of city officers. The boilers from the
regular ticket in Cincinnati coalesced
with the Democrats, and nominated an
opposition ticket, composed half Of
Democrats and half of Republicans.
Ia Chicago the boilers are led by the
Tribune, and have nominated a ticket Of
their own. Corruption in the city gov
eminent is the alleged rossou for the
movement in both cities. In Arkansas
a movement for a National Conservative
party, following the example Of Tenues-
see and Virginia, has begun, and its
Convention will be held at Little Rock
next month.

FROM SACRAMENTO.

A New Steamer for the Vallejo Route-
Arrival Of the Passengers last Might
Cause OF the Delny-Accident on the
s sTss Gr.nd HiGGs smpiImsntar Fn 6fasssr
last Night.
SACRAMENTO, September 29.-The Califor-
mia Pacific or Vallejo Railroad Company,
have bought in New York a new steamer,
the Orient, which will leave that port in a
few days for San Francisco, to run in con.
nection with the Vallejo cars. She is repre-
sented to be Of an excellent model for speed,
and to have great power.
The Central Pacific passenger train, which
was due at LOO P. N. yesterday, did not
reach the city until 7:lO P. NJ, having been
delayed about midway between Wadsworth
aud Clark's Station, in consequence Of the
locomotive running over some cattle, Of
which two were killed. The locomotive, bag
gage and express cars were thrown from
the track, but no one was hurt. The passen-
gers remained in this city over night, and
proceeded to San Francisco by the Vallejo
and Western Pacific trains this morning.
While coming through Steamboat Slough,
yesterday morning, en- route for San Fran
cisco, the steamer Helen Hensey had two
thirds OF her bulwarks on the port side car
ried away, and her wheel somewhat injured,
by coming in contact with stumps which pro-
jected from the bank.
Admiral Farragut came up from Vallejo
yesterday morning, accompanied by General
Frisbie. They leave for tho East this morn
ing in one Of the Central Pacific sleeping
cars, four Of which were attached to tho
train.
The banquet given at the Golden Eagle
Hotel last evening, to tho Directors and
others Of the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, was a grand success. Over 200 people
sat down to the tables, which were loaded
with all the substantials Of the market, and
dainties in profusion.

The bare idea Of Spain arraying herself

enough to provoke a smile but for her

ALOUISIANA PICNIC.

A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Time, relates one Of his experiences on
a picnic excursion 10 Pontchalanta, as
follows:
"a friend introduced me to Susan the
belle of the picnic, and, as l was also
out for a holiday, Susan and / kindly
took together. She was not pretty, but
she had a deal Of energy. Her hair
had come down once or twice, and it
looked q little crazy. She had been
helping to make ice-cream and forgot
to roll down one OF her sleeves, show
ing a tolerably muscular arm, and emo.
ton aud enjoyment had somewhat taken
the starch out Of her frilled and fluted
waist, which was quite damp although
it had not rained. We made a sepsa-
ton as we went over that floor in a
'galop.' Susan was on her metal, and I
felt as if was on hot iron. l got crazy
and dizzy as she tore through the dance
in regular high-pressure picnic style.
| could hear the lockers on, say
in amazement, who's that p why,
that's Susan 'Oh, of course, l know
her ; but who's that with herr '0h,
he's some of them city tellers that
came up in the dummy. Amt he a
tearin it2' At last l caught the eye of
the head devil of tho brass band, and
gave him such a look He knew what
that look meant, and stopped that cuss-
ed din, which stopped Susan, and left
me hanging on her arm likea wilted
magnolia. We took some ginger pop
and a stage plank for refreshmsnt, and
strolled of through the grounds. Har-
per's own artist aught to have BEEN
there to take the scene. After tripping
UP and tearing the soles off my boots
on all the sticks and stumps in the
place, We came to a swing, and Suke
would swing. No counter attraction
l could propose would divert her from
the intention. Swing she would. Mem
tally revolving the consequences of
swinging her by the neck, l got her
seated aud pretty fairly balanced, when
she insisted that l should tie her petit.
coats round her ANGLES. Ny modesty
was shocked to preserve hers, but at it
| went, doing my level best to get my
arms round her circumference so as to
tie up her extremities with my handker-
chief. After desperate exertions made
both ends meet, and tied the knot, but
just then Suks lost her balance and
stopped over like a huge jelly pudding,
screaming like a lunatic. There was o
rush Of blood to that nose, q rush Of
boos to that woman, and my final rush
to the dummy where / secured q
smelling bottle, and escaped slightly
damaged, but still In the ring"

The market for Government bonds
was a good deal unsettled all the latter
part of last week, and tended to lower
prices. This is the more singular be-
cause it has been announced that the
reduction Of the deb. during the current
month will be some Slo,ooo,o 900, or
about double tho reduction Of August
which will mako a reduction Of some
$50, 900, 900 since tho lst Of March last.
This ought to improve the public credit
and put up the price Of bonds. Ia this
connection it may be proper to give the
gi,t Of the illusions Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury to the National finances at
the dinner at the New York Union
League Club last week:
The Secretary said there were two
things necessary to give our country the
strongest and most envisbls position in
the world. These were-6rst, to secure
the payment Of the national debt in
gold, without qualification or equiyo-
cation and, secondly, to secure the
adoption Of the fifteenth Amendment
neither OF which events was he disposed,
to consider in doubt. The Secretary
said that he had reason to believe that
II he had the authority a good share Of
our debs could o be funded at Al,
perhaps 4, per cent, and when our
interest account was reduced to $780,
ooo,ooo We should have a surplus from
u present resources of frou $50, 900, 900
toS7o,ooo 900, which would make it very
easy to take care Of the demand debt.
And that, at our present rate Of taxation
he believed our whole debt could be-
paid of 10 IL years. The Secretary
also observed that whoever does auy
thing to impair confidence in the ability
and disposition Of the country to pay ii,
debts, adds to the burden Of taxation oil
the people, by compelling them to pay
80 much higher rate OF interest.

PARTNERSHIP CHANaEs.-The United
States Compissiouer Of Internal Rsve-
nue. has recently had again under con-
sideration the liabilities Involved by q
change in the members OF business
firms during the year, and the rule laid
down by him may now be considered as
q final and imperative decision. The
Commissioner decided that every change
of firm whereby a former partner r~e,ires,
or a new partner is admitted, constitutes
in contemplation Of law o new firm,
liable, in addition to the tax paid by the
old firm, to new special tax for the uu-
expired portion of the year, which
should be assessed from the LIST day Of
the month in which the change occurs.
He also decided that there is no pro.
vision in the law by which a person
retiring from business during the year
for which he has paid the tax can trans
fer his receipt to the person succeeding
him.

A CoRRrcrIoS.-The critic Of o New
York paper recently pronounced q
writer, whose works were under review,
a "poor poet" The judgment was
rather harsh, and not quite in keeping
with the residue Of the notice. The
slight obscurity was removed the snsu-
ing week. The paper says the word
printed "poor" was written " good"
Rather a difference-liks an error noted
in an old volume: "For black, read
white" Readers Of newspapers should
always, like the judges when puzzled,
hold incomprehensible statements uu-
der consideration" until the next issue.
