NEW YORK, et.M.-The Posts financial article

became evident that the brakes We're to be ap-
piled to the upward speculation which yester-
day ran wild, and that this was to be done
through the instrumentality of the money mar
ket, which has been overtaxed, not so much per-
hapS by the advance in stocks that have a
known value, as by the rise in doubtful stocks
and clear rubbish. Government bonds are
steady to strong in the face of sharp per

are buying for the purpose OF new note circula-
ton. Railroad investments are quiet but firm,

NEW YORK, Oct. PA special from Salisbury,
n. O., says: A grand reunion of CarolinaS SOL
diers OF both armies was held here to-day. Ten
thousand people were present. The town was
gayly decorated with union flags. Chas. Price
welcomed the crowd and introduced the speak
ers. Gov. Thos. j. Jarvis, who first appeared,
entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion.
He had been soldier, and urged Carolinians to
the same devotion to the flag of our country
that they had shown to that other flag, which
had been furled forever. Next came Senator z.
b. Vance, who urged the realization of the full
significance of the meeting. Mr.. Daniel G. Fow-
Ter said the people of the north and of the south
must be friends. No nation of equal numbers
could have resisted the north so long as did the
south, and no nation but the north could ever
have conquered the south. Major Hallock, of
Michigan. said that he was glad that his first
public effort was on such an occasion. He had
fought for the union and now would rebuke the
denfagogues who sought place by reviving the
passions of war. Col W. Ii. II. C0wles VIM.
johnson, Wm Raffins. Gen. Rufus Barringer, A.
NJ. Scales, JAS NJ. Leach and Major Merrill, OF
Mississippi, also made brief patriotic addresses.
at the conclusion Of which the crowd partook of
barbecue dinner. In the afternoon a grand
masquerade procession paraded the streets, and
at night there was one OF the finest displays OF
fireworks ever seen in the SOUTH

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.


PANAMA, Oct 16.-The news OF the capture oc
the Huascar, announced by cable from Europe,
mas not yet been received by mail from the south
coast coast on the LIST OF October the Huascar and
Union LETT africa on a cruise south. The object
OF thelr mission was no doubt to observe the
movements OF large fleet of transports which
M naa ieft Valparaiso for Antafogasta under con-
voy OF the iron-clad Almirante Cochran TO ascer-
tam the reason for the concentration OF so many
transports and such important land forces al,
Anta1ogasta, and also probably with view OF
making a prlze OF any straggler from the convoy
or OF any OF the corvetteS which lust now ara
cruising about sfngly. The fleet OF transports
did not sail as soon as expected and the two Pc
ruvfan vessels finding only the Blanco Enealafia
unued the voyage SOUTH trusting TO their speed
To be able TO cut out some or the ships from the
convoy or sink them and then show the iron
clads clean pair OF heels as they have frequent
ly done IL this was their calculation they
missed it woefully since the Cochran is now able
TO make thirteen knots an hour, which is shade
faster than the HuaScar can go. The Peruvian
vessels fell in with the fleet. when the Cochran
either oyerhauled the HuaScar or chased her
within sight of AntafogaSta, where the Blanco
Enealada would be able to cut off her retreat
peCting.
The allied generals are expecting the long
looked for descent of the Chilians at an early
date. Reinforcements have been sent from
Lima to AFRICA, several regiments OF the reserve
having gone forward, stripping Lima of its de-
lenders and leaving 1t open to capture by as
Sault. With the HuaScar In their hands the
Chiians may land where they please on the Pc
ruyfan coast.
The Cable interrupted.
The next mail should bring the details OF the
capture Of the HuaScar and possible movements
of the Chiiian army The cable is interrupted
between Kingston and Aspinwall, whether in
the cable itself. near Jamaica, or on the lines
on the island, is not known. Since the after

About Gen. Grant.
THE BOON FOR HIM IN PHILADELPHIA-HIS TRT
PECUNIARY RESOURCES, ETC.-THE NATI0NA


THE BOOM FOR HIM IN PHILADELPHIA-HIS TRIP,
PECUNIARY RESOURCES, ETC.-THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
James R. Young, esq, late executive clerk OF
the Senate has returned to Washington from
among the politicians in Philadelphia and New
York. He says the republicans in Pennsylvania
will have walk over in November next; that
all the leading politicians in Philadelphia are for
Grant for President, with Blaine as second
choice. A ticket made up Of Grant and Blaine
is much talked Of. Mr.. Young says that in al
his intercourse with General Grant that John
Russell his brother. who travelled round th"
world with him, he neoer converSed with him
on the presidential subject, nor had tue Genera
alluded to it in conversation with anybody; tina
Grant paid the bulk of his expenses on his trip
ard that they were heavy: that he IS worth
about $3.50. 600 but has it tied up in such way
that 1t does not yield him much OF an income
Mr.. Young says that his brother reports Gen
Grant to be one of the most liberal hearted men
that he ever knew; that he is constantly contri-
buting to the aid of his relatives, and takes sat-
fsfaction in doing it.
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
When in New York Mr.. Young met Colonel
Keogh, of the national republican committee.
keogh told him that soon after the November
elections the national committee would meet to
choose place for holding the national conven-
tion. There seemed to be an impression on
Keogh's part that the convention would be held
in Chicago, although there was good deal Of
clamor for Philadelphia, and that Indianapolis
had offered to build a wigwam in which to ac-
commodate the delegates If it met in that city.

The Star and the business Revival.

Business has been unusually brisk here thi
autumn. The EVENING STAR, our most success
ful daily, has had so much advertising as to be
compelled to issue double sheet every Saturday
for several weeks past. This is eight weeks In
tofore. 1t is said, and, I think, truly, that
houses were never before in such demand A
great many new ones have gone up all over the
city, and the number OF families who are only
here during the session of Congress who have
leased houses for that period, or longer is prob
ably greater than ever before. This seems to
argue that society viii be livelier than ever

THEY MET AGAIN.-One day recently there ar
man who shot and killed Albert D. Richardson,
and who was tried and acquitted, and Abby Sage
Richardson. He is a decrepit, ragged old man,
in the garb of a wellto-do lecturer. When Nc
Farland learned of her arrival he fell fainting to
the sidewalk. and was carried into drug store
near by, where reStoratives were applied and he
recovered. He then began to cry and wiring his
hands, exclaiming: "Oh! must see her! must
see her! II only for one moment before die! I
must speak to her." His condition was so piti-
able and his appeals SO earnest that some gen.
tleman who had known them both In better
days volunteered to go and see his wife and en-
deavor to bring about an interview. The sequel

JEFF. DAVIS s'struck lie" in his
late speech, but there is one paper
that does not agree with him. He
can do without this one, though,
when he has the people and all the
Country expositors'' with him. The
Vicksburg Herald says:
"What did Mr.. Davis mean at Pas
cagoula when he said he had never
seen Southern woman who had been
reconstructed, ard that the children Of
such women must yet rise to win dictate
these principles? And what did the
anti-'book iarnin'' Mercury mean
when it Endorsed and jubilated over
what Mr.. Davis said? Did Ihe Mer-
cu7,y swallow this stuff whole merely
| because it came from Mr.. Jefferson
| Davis? II Mr.. Davis didn't mean, he
| yet hoped TO see State sovereignty and
| the right Of secession vindicated, it
looks to US like he was talking foolish
ness. These principles undoubtedly
are State sovereignty and secession.
And put these principles in a nut
shell and they mean that the Union is
a partnership which any State may
dissolve at pleasure. Out upon euch
