the essentiar principles of republicanism, we are
making rapid advances in imitating '.the exterior
dirolsTs of aristocratic wealth and power. ; Baro
nial castles and lordly palaces, which have hither
to had no existence in the land; (where even the
wealthiest were content to live like geBUeme&
bat not like noblemen,); begin now to- rise -up Jn
our midst, under the influence of the associative
' nower of wealth. A new feature In modern so
ciety, the combined power of capital,-seekibg lu
crative investmenU, is adequate to the. greatest
undertakings. Its tendencies will be ranch favor
ed by the rapid growth of the country, and the-
increasing prosperity of the times. Desirable as
such blessings are, yet are they, perhaps, insepar
able from attendant evils, for all history has de
monstrated the fact, that as a nation advances in
the arts of luxury and refinement, so does it re-
. lapse also into habits of corruption and vice. Its
pristine vigor degenerates into effeminacy, and its
early hardihood and sobriety are wasted by sen
sual enjoyments and fashionable follies.
The splendid hotels which are now springing up
in New York, are far in advance of the wants of our
people, who ars as yet unaccustomed to such ex
travagant styles of living, and such expensive
specimens of embellishment. Many a one who
will enter these palaces, such aa' royalty might
exult in, will, on returning home, look with indif
ference and discontent upon , homesteads which
hare heretofore been sufficient for their simple
tastes and wants. , '-'
The Prescott House Is not to large as some of
the new hotels recently finished, and one or two
others which are still in progress of erection. It
will accommodate about 250 guests, while the Me
tropolitan and St. Nicholas both furnish room for
more than twice that number, As the proportions
of this new edifice were smaller, greater pains ap
pear to have been taken to exhaust upon it all the
efforts of reCned taste, and all the attractions or
cultivated art. It is in the oriental style, aud ri
vals the magnificence of old Moorish and Egyp
tian courts aDd palaces. The main floor is over
laid with Mosaic work from Sicily, and consists of
many hundred thousand pieces, of varied colors,
elaborately inlaid, and decorated with borders of
the same and ornamental sections, inserted at in
tervals. The predominating colors are light drab,
red and sky blue. The entrance from Broadway
is exceedingly gorgeous. It is 120 feet in length,
separated through the centre by a row of rich col
umns, in white and gilt, with Corinthian caps and
marble pedestals. The ceiling is divided by tnas-
. aive Moorish arches, glittering with golden deco
rations, and hung with costly chandeliers, while
the side walls are decorated with tasteful figures
representing the costumes of the reign of Louis
XIV. The bar-room on the first floor in the rear
of the office, is spacious and beautiful, and com
pleted in the same style as the entrance way just
described. On the second floor, the dining apart
ment, and the ladies saloon, are conspicuous for
their princely elegance. On the side walls of the
former, are Elizabethan columns, with Corinthi
an caps, and between them pannels containing
choice paintings of fruits and flowers. The doors
have arched tops, and are crowned with carved
figures. At either end of the room arc two im
mense mirrors, set in massive gilt frame-work.
The ladies' saloon is divided across the centre by
massive arches and columns, richly ornamented
with stoker-work in gold, white, and fresco, and
corresponds to the Egyptian style. The rooms
and private parlors above are all equipped with
carpets and furniture varying in patterns, and
have a pleasing effect. Each chamber is a bou
doir, moie superbly setoff than any which ninety-nine
out of a hundred of the guests ever en
tered before.
Visiters to the city from all parts of the South
are more numerous now than ever. It is remark
able that southerners have generally expressed
disappointment at the Exhibition of the Industrial
Convcution, while northerners have equally as
generally been pleased and satisfied. The whole
Union is at present pretty fairly represented in
New York. Specimens of oar people may be seen
from every State, and, taken as a whole, they do
henor to the nation at large. Scattered over the
length and breadth of the land, when in their far
off homes, when congregated here, they bear the
impress of the same nationality ; the men in the
dignity of manhood, and the women, in the love
liness of their, sex, members of the Great Bepuo
lie, the Mighty Confederacy, the Glorious Union
of SUteafrom the Atlantic on the Easfttf the
Pacific on, the West, and from the snows of tho
North to the orange groves of the South, "welded
together by interests and affections, one and in
separable, now and forever I To look upon such
a people, and such a race, well may one feel an
bonest pride and exultation in the greatness and
destiny of bis country. ; Tt
Altboagh every part of the land is represented
here,Cthe hotels show a decided partiality for
Southern patronage. They find the southerners
more liberal, more gallant in their bearing, tiey
' remain longer, and make gayer company. But in

parts of Europe, except the extreme north, are
here, and Spaniards and South Americans passing
under the general appellation of Don Diegos, are
especially numerous. Nations of the earth are
. all paying morning calls, and leaving cards of In

steam, are making everybody acquainted, and the
prosecution of the arts, useful and ornamental, is

A sailor, who recently arrived from a long voy
age, hired a horse yesterday afternoon, and took
a ride into the country. He stopped at Lemon
Hill, displayed a gold watch and nearly two hun
dred dollars in gold, silver and notes, treated
every body and finally became quite jolly himself.
About ten o'clock, he started to get his horse,
when some oue unknown knocked him down,
kicked and robbed him of his watch, money, coat
and boots, and left him bleeding and insensible.
William O'Neil, who had the billions dysentery

Recove-y of the Body of one of the Men ,ost
at Niagara Falls.
The body of Andrew Hermann, whoso sad fate
at the Fall excited so much attention, has been
recovered It was found near the landing of the
'Maid of toe Mist," below the Suspension Bridge.
The head. and body were much mangled a sharp
stone, or other object, having pierced the body,
either in its fearful descent, or afterwards. The
facts of the case, as elicited from the evidence of
Mr, Brown, aleesident at Niagara Falls, are, that
th ree Germans in his employ, were engaged in
boating sand to'French's Landing, which was used
in building at te Falls. On Monday evening
they went to the Falls, and there got somewhat
intoxicated, although they usually sustained the
reputation of being sober aDd industrious labor
ers. Returnlngfrom the Falls to their boat, they
put out into the'Jiver, about nine o'clock in the
evening, for thelrwn amusement. Concluding
they had not sufSeient canvass, they returned to
shore, and one of the three started for the Falls
to obtain more, the other two again putting out
into the river. OS the return of the third, the
boat was nowhere to. be seen, and its fate was not
known until next morning.
The British War Steamer Medea at Bostou
Desperate Encounter with River Thieves.
Boston, July 80.Te British war steamer Me
dea, from Halifax July 28lh, arrived at this port
this morning. It is supposed she brings despatch
es in regard to the fishery question.
A desperate encounter took place last night be
tween the New Harbor-police and two river thieves
who had been boarding and robbing vessels at
this port disguised io masks, and sometimes using
chloroform. The robber! were seen leaving a
vessel in a boat, and were pursued and captured.

The Administration; and the Pacific Railroad.
We brought to the notice of our readers in our
number of Saturday lasli an editorial article of the
Washington ri 'deTfeiiding the constitutional
power of the Government to construct a Railroad
to the Pacific ocean It was a remarkable article,
to be found in the columns of that journal, and,
regarding it as evidently speaking for the Execu
tive, we read it with as much pleasure as surprise.
The arguments were not new to us; we had heard
them in former times repeated from year to year
by the great champion ot Iuternal Improvements,
the illustrious Clay, with all the power of his
peerless eloquence, and esiiecially in his great
speech in the House of Representatives in 1817
'18, and we could not suppress the gratification we
felt at seeing tbem substantially reproduced as
Democratic argaments in support of a great na
tional measurer Nat. Intelligencer.
BAIL ROAD ACCIDENTS.
The Sumter Banner says that while a freight
train was passing over the trestle work across the
Wateree Swamp, the structure gave way, precipi
tating the twoTiindmost cars in the mud, .totally
destroying them and doing much damage to the
freight, The same paper also states that the
downward train of the Wilmington and Manches
ter road tan over two negro men, the property of
flen, Chandler, killing tbem instantly. They are
supposed to have been lying asleep on the road.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Register
says the lollowing cure for dysentery has never
been known to fail :
"Take one pint of new milk (warm from the
cow if possible,) and add to it two table spoon
fuls of fine cbnrcoal, and one of table salt. Drink
as the patient is able and renew the quantity if
needed. The diet should be principally rice or
milk toast."
Mr. Everett, late Secretary of State, is gener
ally known as a gentleman of extensive informa
tion, and one who will not "speak without book"
on important subjects involving statistical facts.
From a computation of his, it appears that the
use ef alcoholic beverages, cost the United States
directly, in ten years 3120,000,000; has burned
or otherwise destroyed $5,000,000 worth of prop
erty, has destroyed 300,000 lives ; sent 250,000 to
prison, and 100,000 children to the poor house ;
caused 1,600 murders and 5,000 suicides ; and has
bequeathed to the country 1,000 00O orphan chil

c DARING OUTRAGE5ifeSP
'We understand almost daring land outrageoas
assault was made opoo the person of a young Ja
dy Saturday' evening between the bonra ot8 and
9 o'cock;-iTbe particulars of the aflair, aa near
as we can gather tbem, seem to be as follows : A
couplo of young ladies residing in Ettricka, start
ed about sunset or BaUersea, in order to see a
couple of .their female acquaintance? and gel
them to spend the night aVtbeir residence. As
they were returning, and. whil passing through
Campbell's Bridge, .which crosses the Appomattox
river, a negro who had "secreted himself in the
bridge, made an effort to strike one of the young
ladies in front ! the blowj however, she warded
off with ber band, and passed on. Foiled in this
attempt, the ruffian seized another young lady,
who was immediately in rear of the former, and
threw her down. The young lady thus suddenly
and unexpectedly seized, screamed for assistance,
when the scoundrel thrust his fist into her mouth
This attracted one of her comrades, who in
stantly retraced her steps and desired to know of
the negro what he was doing, when he cut at her
with a knife, and inflicted a severe wound across
her head. By this time, the cries of the young
ladies attracted some gentlemen not far distant,
who immediately came to tbeir assistance, when
the assailant fled. Wc are pleased to hear, bow-
ever, that he was pursued, (finally arrested and
lodged in jail. Dr. Brodoax being sent for, promp
ly obeyed the summons, and dressed the wound
of the young lady that was cut with the knife ;
but we are sorry to hear that she lies in a very
critical situation, and is not expected to recover.
The name of the young lady so severely wound
ed is Miss Frances Porch.
NEW AND IMPORTANT RAILROAD.
The Cleveland arid Sl Louis air line Railroad
Corr.;iany has been organized. The road is in
tended to bo as near straight as ossibk. Seven
ty miles of it, on one stretch, will be perfectly
straight, and the whole distance will be only 375
Miles. The company is to have a"capital of ten
millions of dollars. Already eight millions have
been raised in New England, and the road, if
such is the cae, is sure to be a fixed fact within
a short time. It is intended to make this the im
portant eastern extenion of tha great road from
St. Louis to the Pacific. Our neighbors on the
lake shore arc entitled to much credit for the en
ergy with which they push their railroad connex
ions. Ohio Slate Journal.
Tub Alleged Defalcation of Wm. C. Zantzin-
ger, Esq., late Disbursting Agent of the State De
partment, it is said, undoubtedly had its origin in
malice. His accounts have not yet been settled
llness having prevented him from making them
up. I lie airnculty, on lhursday last, would all
have been avoided, had tho Department given
him notice that his check for ten thousand dol
lars had not been honored. He had accounts
with Corcoran Sc. Riggs under several different
heads. He drew a check against the certified
balance due him on one account, which the bank
teller declined, because he had overdrawn on an
other private account. It is stated that all will
be arranged amicably in a day or so, if it has not
already been done, and that it will show that
there was no possibility of a dishonest intention,
and probably show a balance due by the Govern
ment to Mr. Zautr.inger, and that he has been
grossly wronged in the transaction.
MILLIONAIRES IN CALIFORNIA.
Some of the largest incomes in the United States
are now enjoyed by gentlemen of San Francisco
who, four years ago, were far from being rich.
It is said that the annual income of Samuel Brao-
non, Esq., is over two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars; whilst that of J. L. Fohiom, W. D. tiC
Howard, and several others, is but little, if any
less. These large estates have been made within
the last three or four years, by the rapid rise of
real estate in and about San Francisco. In 1847
48, lots were purchased for S15 or 20, which are
now worth over 8100,000. On the chief business
streets, in favorable locations, ground is worth
from S500 to S1.000 per front foot, exclusive of
the improvements.
Railroad Accident Ship John C. Calhoun.
Boston, August 1. The railroad train from
Montreal, on Saturday, with about 200 passengers,
was thrown off the track at the junction of the
Lake Champlain road, near St. Johu's, owing to
the misplacement of the switch. Some damage
was sustained, but none of the passengers were
fatally injured.
A telegraphic dispatch, from St. John, N. B.,
stales that the ship John C. Calhoun, before re
reported ashore at Musquash, had been got off.
EXAMINATION OF COUNTERFEITERS.
Cincinnati, July 30th. The gang of counter
feiters, recently arrested here, bad an exaraina-to-day
before Judge Spooner, and were held to
bail in the sum of S10.000 cash for counterfeiting,
and 65,000 for robbery, several sheets of genuine
notes being found in tbeirpossession. In default
of security they were committed4 to jail.
YELLOW FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, July 30. The deaths within the
last 24 hours bare been 154, of which 126 were
from yellow tever.
RIOT IN NEW YORK.
On Saturday night a terrible riot took place in
the neighborhood of the 1st aveoue and 18th St.,
N. Y. It appears that the members and rnnners
of Engine Company No. 30, whose. house is in 22d
street, have been annoyed at different limes by a
large number of men, who congregate in the 1st
avenue, and on Saturday night the parties to the
number of about two hundred on both sides met
in the 1st avenue, and immediately commenced
firing stones and using clubs, which in a few min
utes broke out in a general riot. The police
came to the rescue, and after a number of broken
heads on both sides, 22 of the rioters were secur
ed and locked up.
The Chinese Repository tells of a strange kind
of death punishment which was inflicted on a
Chinese criminal who had committed a very hein
ous offence. He was wound round with cotton,
saturated with tallow, places being left for him to
breathe. He was then dipped like a monster
candle until be presented a mass of tallow. In
this way he was stuck up on his father's grave,
lighted, and kept burning until his body was con
sumed by slow degress.
THE BRITISH POST OFFICE.
Official returns have been made public of the
business of the Post office of the United King
dom, for the year 1863, as compared with each of
the thirteen previous years. From these official
data, it appears that the increase in the number
of letters since 1846, (when cheap postage was
introduced, is luliy 126 percent; and the net
revenue has increased from 500 789 to .1,090,
419, although the actual receipts are not yet equal
to those of the year 1839, (the last - year of the

Secretaiy of the Treasury.
THREE YOUNG MEN DROWNED.
The Snow Hill (Md.) Shield states that on the
24th nit. three young men, John Maddux, James
Richardson and Joshua Richardson, (the two lat
ter sons of Mr. Jepbtha Richardson,) whilst ba
thing in Atkinson's mill pond, near Nassaongo
Fiirnace, were drowned. It appears they could
not swim, and Maddux getting beyond his depth,
aDd one of the Richard&on's in attempting to res
cue him, also got into deep water, when the other
Richardson went to the aid of bis brother. He
likewise got beyong his depth, and all three met
a watery grave.
A WOMAN "WALKING AGAINST TIME.
An American female, called by the romantic
name of Miss Kate Irvine, has commenced at
Sheffield, in England, the arduous task of walk
ing eight hundred miles in as many consecutive
hours, for (it is said) a bet of X500. The lady
pedestrian is described to be about thirty years of
age, tall, and of rather prepossessing appearance.
Her carriage is remarkably erect. She wears the
Bloomer costume a straw bat, a jacket of thin
black material, a light vest with bright buttons, a
tunic t.ilk skirt, and light boots. She started for
the first mile at 6 o'clock in the evening, and ac
complished it in 12& minutes. The average time
of each mile up to Thursday evening varied from
12J to 13 minutes, which, for a woman, may be
considered really wonderful. Nearly three hun
dred persons paid a visit to the fleet-footed Amer
ican on the first day.

sands will hereafter add their testimony.
