We presume that the action of the Senate
10 repeating the bankrupt Law by vote APP
preaching almost TO unanimi;y fofeshadows
the action Of the House.

that on Saturday, at Taylorstown, Washing
ton county, Pa, few miles from the former

Six steamers left New York for Europe on
Saturday, carrying unusually heavy cargoes
OF grain and live stock, including many
American horses. This would seem 10 indi-
cate that somebody on the other side is bold
enough to take war risks in advance of any
formal declaration Of hostilities between Eu-
ropean powers.

A fresh impetus has been given to the colo
nzation of Liberia by the mania which has
lately possessed the negroes of South Carolina
and ship load of negroes has just started for
the African Republic. The accounts all agree
that the first to avail themselves of this first
exodus are industrious, capable people, skilled
in agriculture and well equipped to pursue that
calling They will be located in Liberia and
start out in life for themselves to carve their
own destinies and work out their own futures
upon that virgin soil.
The New York Times says: MRS. Titon's
letter will be effectual in reviving the whole
disgusting controversy, in liberatng once
more the moral contagion of which it has
been the fruitful source, and in lending 10 the
odious gang who traded on their knowledge
of Mr.. Beechers guilt species of vndica-
ton which may lead people to forget their
meanness and duplici.y. As for Beecher, he
remains the impure and perjured man which
any rational construction of his own letters
proves him to be'
Advices have been received from various
cities to the effect that the banks resumed the
payment OF specie. In Albany, New York.
small payments are made from certain of the
banks, and at Cincinnati three banks are said
to offer their customers choice between gold
and greenbacks. From the South the move
ment is more general. At New Orleans,
Savannah, Wilmington and Atlanta no charge
is made for gold if parties presenting drafts
prefer the precious metal, and at Charleston
they are ready to adopt the same course. In
the large cities, especially on the seaboard,
where the bulk of the duties are paid, the
banks seem disposed TO wait until even the
present nominal premium on gold has disap-
peared. The manifestations of actual resump-
ton are sure indications of confidence in the
business future of the country.

New Bremen, Ohio, dated, 10th inst, says:
quite wonder has lately made its appear
ance, about eight miles north of New Bremen,
in the shape of fine boy with three eyes and
but one ear. The parents are q young mar
ried couple who came here TO reside from the
eastern portion of Auglaize county, about ten
months ago, and have been married a little
more than that period. The child is about
two weeks old. The parents were astounded
to find on the right side OF the face an eye and
an ear in their proper natural positions, and
on the left side of the head, third eye, all
perfect in form, but no ear where the ear
ought to be, the place for the left ear being
perfectly smooth and solid as any other part
of the head. The boy is healthy sound and
bright AS a boy baby can be The eyes are
perfect in sight and action When the eye on
the left side of the face opens or shuts its twin
does the same, both seeming to be controlled
and operated by the one set of nerves.
