EFFICACY OF PRAYER. The Richmond En-
Qulrsr says:
During the mission services at St. Patrick )
Church on Monday night an accident occurred
Tat came near resulting IN fearful panic. One
of the flowers on the main altar took fire from y
candle, and in the effort to s1tingulsh it several
candies we're knocked over, and the whole altar
was placed in danger OF being destroyed. The
alarm of fire spread instantaneously throughout
the building and the most intense excitement
prevailed, and had it not been for the remark
able presence OF of one OF the Fathers, there
is no telling what might have been the conse-
Quence. " hen the danger WAS most apparent
he requested the congregation to join him in
payer, with calmness that commanded their
attention, and while the prayer was being offer
I'd up for the safety of the church, a few COL
heads, with little difficulty. extinguHhed the
flames. The church was densely packed. and
lad not the Rev Father been needed, we might
have had TO chronicle broken limbs, if not loss
OF life this morning"

The Financial SySten---Exchequ

We copy from the Richmond Wing The let.
ter of Daniel II. London, esq.,, now of New
York, but formerly of Richmond, on the sub
ject of his plan of an exchequer. 1t is deemed
of vast importance to the people OF Virginia
and the South that the rates of interest on
money should be reduced to enable them to
prosecute their mining aud other operations.
Anything that can do this will be hailed with
joy by all our people. 1t is Intended, We learn,
some time during the summer, after the May
meeting in Richmond, to hold IA convention TO
consider the subject further, aud the best re-
suits are hoped for. We kuow very little about
finances bur We do know that money is very
scarce in Virginia, the principal cause 1T which
perhaps is that We are LOO extravagant; want
too many Injuries; buy more than We sell both
10 town and county. aud will have to be
brought down to lizard pan. Whcu this Is
reached aud our people all 60 20 work with
cheap money we shall prosper.
To the editor Of the Richmond Wig:
NEW YORK. April |, lS75.-My intention
is to be IN Richmond the first Tuesday in May
and shall endeavor to satisfy your planters,
merchants, and manufacturers OF tobacco, and
your distilIers, that their interests can be serv
ed By combining with the friends of stable
currency. SO much has been said on the un
necessary aud palpabla outrage inflicted on the
planters aud farmers 10 Virginia and the other
tobacco and grain producing States, that am
aoxious to learn whether such men rs JohD

ed to co-operte with the friends OF the bill for
an Exchequer, and by making common cause,
lay dowu such principles upon the subject OF
the internal taxes as will lead to the gradual
aud certain abrogation of the tax on manuiac-
tured tobacco aud spirits These taxes are
hatiy unjust, and, therefore, obnoxious to the
Constitution. urge this course on the part
OF the tobacco men, because, singly, their in-
terest is too small to get justice. So far as the
Exchequsr is concerned. It's passage is as GER

BRANDY SMAsH-0r t may have been ,cAisky, at any rate there a sraash-up on the Plaza on Sunday afternoon. Two inebriated individu- als driving, rather allowing span of horses to run at full speed with buggy attached, came dashing up Montezuma street to the corner of Goodwin where they took turn 10 the left and ran up to Cortez; here they stopped, and one of the animals-not of the horses-rOlled out on the ground. Being assisted to his seat again by his companion they turned about and had not gone far before they came in contact with pine tree, breaking the tongue and some other parts of the vehicle and ending the days sport Fortunately the horses were unhurt, and if the carriage had escaped as we'll it would have been little matter what breakagcs had bcfallcn the cargo. Such reckless disregard for the lives and limbs of others is entirely reprehensibIe and ought not to be permitted, to say nothing of the matter of cruelty to animals which itself should be punished

Verde, April 13-The new military road now being constructed between Camp Verde and Pres. colt through Copper Cadon is about being com pleted. Since carly last fall companies and B, Sth U. S. Infantry have been diligently at work and last month Company A, 9th Cavalry, was or dered on the construction party. The distance between Camp Verde and Prescott is shortened l2 miles. The distance by the new road Is 36 miles, by the old road 1t is 4S miles. The new road has been passable for teams for the past two weeks. Teamsters and freighters generally are loud in their praises and pronounce the road as being excellent. Loaded teams can pass either way without uncoupliDg the trail.
 Col. J. W. Mason, 9th Cavalry, commanding officer al Camp Verde has been busy for some time past constructing and building water works to supply this post with water la city style. His efforts have been crowned with signal success. The water is conducted from dam on the Rio Verde, five miles north of here, by means Of a ditch thence to an overshot water wheel which operates q force pump, forcing the same water into reservoir on the plateau; thence the water Is distributed from the reservoir to all parts of the post by means of wooden pipes.
 Work will be begun tomorrow on new hos pitai building.
 Everything unusually quiet here since the re- moval of the reservation and Indians to San Carlos.
