| of Postmaster Gardner against Albeit f.
| BoswOrth, Treasurer of the Stafford Mills
| Fall River, for the sending of an obscene
| letter through the mails addressed to a

The Coming Yacht Race.
NEW YORK, September Ist.-The Times
says Bets are freely offered on the Puri-
tan, but, except in insignificant sums, they
lind no takers. One Wall-street man has
had $4,000 in his hands for at least one
| week to bet on the Yankee sloop, but up to
| last evening had not been able to place it.
There was some talk yesterday among
| Nall-stTeet men of cabling TO the English
gentleman who, it is said, was chiefly in
| Strumental i'll perSuading Sir Richard Suit
| ton 10 bring the Genesta over here, to ask
| him if he would back her to that amount.
! Although the odds one month ago were on
| the cutter, her friends are now asking for
| the odds. There is hardly enough betting
| going on to afford Il criterion of what are
! the ruling Odds but it may be said, approx
llnately, that they are six to four on the
Puritan. a few bets for small amounts
| have been made at these figures in the last
| day or two, and few for smaller amounts
at two to one.
! Generals Grant and Rawlins.
New YORK, September 1st-Dana, in a
Ss'7l leader, renews his charge that Grant
owed an unrecognized obligation to Gen
J erai RawllnS, for the success OF which the
latter was largely the promoter and IN
| SpIrer. He says: General Grants seige of
| Nlcksburg, of which his own account APP
! pears to-day in a magazine, is a graphic,
| truthful narrative as far as il goes We
| cannot suppress our regret that he has
| omitted references TO the influence which
| guided him safely through the perils
which surrounded him and kept him in
| chief command until he vindicated him
self. BY the splendid campaign which
ended with the investment of Petersburg
| we are justified from personal knowledge
in saying that Rawlins was again a potent
factor in much Of what took place Grant
| could have told how persistent Rawlins
| was III advocating his plan, which resulted
| IN the capture of Nicksburg and which
Grant finally adopted, but he fails even to
! mention the name Of Rawlins The COM
Plete history of Vicksburg has yet to be

generally steady losses and a season of
| shaken confidence and industrial depres-
sion. The past year has been a season of
short crops at home and overproduction
abroad, which forced upon us small sales
and low prices all at once. In the sugar
industry there exists unprecedented de-
preston. The foreign trade has greatly
fallen of, but the new crop is greater than
the average and better times are looked for
ward to.
