Comkcrcial and Bank Failures -Several seri- '
ooa failures luiva occurred in the city and State of

Clark are embarrassed, but thus lar it extends
only to stock operations. Brewster & Co., bankers,
of Rochester, N. Y.t have closed doors. The War
ren Bank, of Pennsylvania, and the Kanawha ^
Sank, of Virginia, have failed.
TIis Ohio Life and Trust Company has also fail- *
?3?oitiaena of Hartford,Connecticut, holding $100- ^
OOffcof its atock. A run was made upou the Una- ,j
diRsBank, N. Y., on the 27th alt., to the amount
O
of $71,000, which were promptly redeemed. James ^
L. Lyell, banker, Detroit, Michigan, closed his
doors oo the same day. Notes o! other New Yoi k ^
country books Were thrown out by the city banks,
and on the 29th rumors of fresh failures caused ^
?juite a panic. j
Hon. Jos. A. Woodward.?It will be remem. 0
bsred that we stated some weeks ago, in a brief r
paragraph, that Hon. W. S. Lyle*, of Fairfield, t
took issue with tbe newspapers that llou. J. A. p
Woodward, who was lately io Kansas, hud pro- p
nonnecd Rpprowogtyof Walker's course in Kansas
Mr. Woodward, under dato of August 19, has ad- h
dressed a letter on this point to Hon. J. A. llill, (<
one of the oandidatce for Governor of Georgia, iu v
- which be says: li
"I did take a position in regard to hia course, p
which contracted minds might hove construed into (
a justification in the absolute, and which unscrupulous
persona might affect tor consider as amounting d
to aonfa justification. Aa to what ia true in tlie o
# matter, cut answer, ainiply negative or affirmative, \
could not inform yon. .
I did defend Governor "Walker, not, however, in
the aba lute, but relatively to the policy of the Ad'miuialration,
or Cabinet, which seut him to Kan
sss, and whoae views and aims he bnd no official
right to depart from, knowing, beforehand, what n
tines views and aims wore. I did defend Gov. w
Wolker relatively to the standard of political right,
touching Kansas uffirs, which ( consider to be *'
recognised by tho present Administration, and 11
which, all must see, is recognised by the manses r
and the lenders of the Democracy, North, and by -L
no inconsiderable propo:li?n of Democratic leaders |
at the South, aa will ccrtuiniy be seen befote long.'1
In abort, Mr. Woodward looks upon Walker
as a hasty and Indiscreet agent, doing openly what ?,
the President instructed him to do secretly?tliero- tl
fore he Oondeinns the Prcsideut and sympathizes 11
* with Walker! "
P.ailkqad Experiments.?The New York Erie c
Railroad is testing an iron supcrstructut e, instead
of the usual wooden sleepers aud ero?s ties The ?
crocs-irons are bedded on atone, with India rubber C
springs to deaden sound.
Another improvement ia iu rails, viz: Welding (|
a (see of caat steel on the rail, which will only in- p
ercose the cost nt tlie rate of $20 per ton, while the o
wearing quality is increased more than twenty laid. K
Tub Jkwuii Oatii? Bill.? For the firth time, *
we believe, Baron ltothsohild hiu been rejuniod a "
member of the British House of Common by the u
eotcrs of London?the House of Lord* having here- ?'
tofore defeated every bill of the Commons modifying "
the oath prescribed to permits Jew to qualify. Tlhs ^
.factiousness of the Lords is likely to be check-muteJ, 0
-*s it is it) agitation to admit the Bsron to his seal u
-on a resolution of ilia Commons alone, with an oath
l prescribed by (lint body. This whs done on a for- j
titer oceasion, And the Attorney General girts nn
opinion favorable to this mode of seating memberi
Lookinu arras Brioiiam.?The Secretary of ii
War has surnuiooed Lieut. Gen. Scott to Wash
ington to concert plans for tho Utah expedition, ^
and the President has instructed tho Secretary to ^
despatch n messenger to Salt Lake City to look out u
that Brother Brigliani does Hot linger letters sent a,
through the mails toother parties, as lie has here- e
tolore done.
Rurrunc or Tit* Caii.c ?I/?lc despatches f?ivo
the information that the telegraph c.ttilo had hci-n *
broken at 330 miles from laud. Tins is a serious ?
disappointment, wlteu all wi re looking so anxiously *
for the union of the two continents in n relation ^
more intimate than the mind a low years since 1,1
could have conceived. The intelligence is nocomrpanied
with the expression iA a beliel that the en- ?'
'terprise will yet be successful. Further advices of r<
the rupture say:
"When the telegraph oable broke there was a *
heavy swell and the cable ran out loo fast. The ''
engineer applied the brakes and the cable pasted. A
'The Nh?g arn and Agamemnon remained to iry j
deep water experiments, bnl the rest of the fleet re '
turned. The Impression at Liverpool was that anotiter
attempt would be made in October." "

| Washington, August 31.?The Interior Do- |i
pertinent hns received intelligence from reliable if
gonthmv-n and from fugitive Mormons, that Brig- B

that ho has rsfapsed into -tho grossest infidelity n
and atheism, and that ho continues to hold up ths

Got. Wslksr has saacatMy noiiftad his pod*
ion on the question of adopting ths Constitution of
torn?. Wboo ho fljrot sssuinqd lha ottes of Gorvnor,
hi* inaugural woo mandatory oo tho topio of
ubmitting tho ?oootitnlioo tc a vote of tho peopk|
wd no limitation woo to be imposed upon tbe right
>f suffrage. Tbe indignation which ibis proposition
net with brought out the Washington Union in
It-fence; bat neither that paper nor the moral power
if the administration was suffioient to oheok lbs
roll-founded oomplaiuls of the Southern people
gainst this unusual stretch of eascatire power oo
he part of s Territorial Goreroor. In this Condiiou
of opinion at tho South, the Union disclaimed
loailire knowledge, and apologised ami temporised,
intil Got. Wulker could write sod advise fully of
lis Ticws. lie amplified and explained in stoh way,
hat iiis defenders were enabled materially to soften
!owu tlie diutatoriul tons he hud oasuuud, and reluce
it to an exereise of only ordinary power. The
Jnion now says that
"Hie convention, when it submits the Constituion
to the people, will define the qualifications of
i voter. The fenr expressed in some quarters,
hat every person who happens to be in Kansas at
he time will be allowed the right of suffrage, is
n idle phantom. We solemnly 'rust tliut no such
oily will ever l>e proposed by any member of the
onventiou. A certain period of previous residence,
long enough to show the good faith of the
.let , will undoubtedly be required."
Thus it will bo seen that Walker completely
bandons his former ground that tho constitution
hall bo submitted to popular vote on a census of the
^habitants previously taken. Now,sumethiug must
nve operated this change, and it is left to conjeciire
what that something is. We moy assume it
j have been the threat of Atchison to rush in emirnnts
from Missouri and other slave Slates equal
> Northern migration for the spccifio purpose of
oting on the constitution, or wo may believe that
lie voice of the South in condemnation of his course
fleeted the modification of his views and those of
lie Administration. We think both had iufl cneet
ut the latter the largest ngcncy. This being the
rogramme, it becomes importaut to look at the
robublc result of the effort to form Kansas into s
lave State.
Gen. Atchison, in his letter to Col. Raker, repabshed
in the Spaitan of the 20th ultimo, says that
lie registered votes amount to ten thousand, nnd
liai nine-tenths of them arc pro-slavery men.
'Iicse were the voters who elected the constitutionI
convention, us the nnti-slaveryitou relused to vote.
tut the latter did vote on llm ThiwIi.i ?v>n?lilnliiin
ml from tliia allowing of their strength it appears
ley number ten thun five thousand. Of course
icy pretend that their voters did not turn out; but
int is an old dodge of defeated parlies. At ths
me we were much surprised at the statement of
fvit. Atchison as to the pro-slavery strength, but
rase to feel incredulity after the Topeka vote, und
re hopeful that the Southern cause will yet tri
mph.
Denunciations were freely indulged against the
rganixation of a National Dcmoorstio p irlv in Knuis,
and this was looked upon us another trick of
Valkcr t defeat the Southern cause. We are
lad to find evidence that this is not so.
The Nutioual Democrats of K insas lately met in
Convention, to nominate a candidate for Congress,
'here had been two candidates, Mr. Carr, formerly
f Charleston, and Mr. Stringfellow, of Missouri.
Ls their conflicting claims were likely to divide the
arty, they both withdrew in favor of Ex-Governor
lauaom, of Michigan, who thereby secured the
uminntion, und became the regular nominee of
lie Democratic party?having received upon the
liird ballot the votes of two-thirds of the members
f the Convention. Upon being inlurmcd of theasuli_
OitVArnor Rnntntn mn.lt' 11 ?t?m?ali nonvinilnf*
lie noininntion, and as Ttmg Ins devotion to the
iriociplca of the Nebraska bill and the Cincinnati
datform
It is true that Mr. Rinsom is from a non slaveioldmg
Slate, but it is pretty certain that Stringrllow
and Carr, both full-blooded Southern men,
rould not have submitted their names to a conveu00
inimical to the cause fur which they liitve exended
their efforts mid money through the late
n paralleled struggles, nor would they havo witbrawn
their names as candidates to give place to
ae not sound in his views or reliable in his actions.
Ve are still encouraged to hopo that Kansas will
>c a slave State.
To Railroads and Iron Works.?Geu. Duff
Jrecn, of Washington city, who has originated
voro r.ew projects than any living man?ail of '
.'hicli have been signal failures- h.t* started a new
eherne, wliioh might, in other hauds, be produove
of good results. lie proposes a convention of
uilroad and iron manufacturers, to form an orguniation,
which shall bo chartered in every State of
tie Union, with sufficient capital, to bo invested in
ailr<-nd bonds an 1 other good securities; "that it
hall be the duty of this association to act as trustee
and intent for railroad companies in the sale of
beir securities, and, from the proceeds of such sales
nd their own capital, to furnish funds to aid in the
lanufncltire of iron f r railroads; that there shall
c a fixed duty up?n iron, sufficient to protect the
apitul invested In ita manufnclure, and the curreny
from tlie contingencies affecting the price of forign
iron produced by the financial policy of the
lank of England-, that the laws regulating mail
untracts be so modified as to aulhorixo contracts
nth rmlroud companies for the permanent use of
leir roads; und that, instead of payments on con'ucts
as now made, there be delivered to such com nnies
coupon bonds, ehargeabtc on the revenues
T tbo department, redeemable at the plcn?sre of the
ovcrnment, and bearing interest at the rate of two
nd a half jwr cent, for a sum the interest upon
'Inch at 5 per cent, would be equal to the psylents
made for sueh sot vice under the piexriil tys-m;
that the whole proceeds of the public lauds be
-ansferrcd to the poet office lund; and that whenvcr
the funds of the depsrtineni and tlio surplus
1 the treasury, beyond a sum to be fixed by law,
rill permit, it shall be the duty of the proper ofliir
of the government to purchase up at j>nr such

simply oecnuse the grand conceptions of Blandin

that time I believe no railroad was iu operation

Charleston to Hamburg.
It waaevideut to the moet superficial obeer ?r,th
such msaiis alone could give development to some
the most interesting and fertile portions of tl
Union. Addsd to Ihs sxhaastless fertility of tl
soil, was an equally iiiexliauslibfo source of miner
wealth, and an absolute waste of water-power f
manufacturing purposes. Tlio Krench IIrood, lie
stein, Noiachuvky, and Pigeon Rivers, would fu
niah iron aud watwr-power lor machinery of evei
kind to supply the oivilixcd world. This dor mati
national, as well as individual wealth, is utmost ei
tirely cut off fruin the world without the aid
railroad transportation. The facihties of travel a
also to be noted. Thousands of oar low counli
health and pleasure-seeking friends will s|>end tin
time and money in our own mountain region, i
stead of lavishing it among our vile traduccrs ai
libellers.
Under such circumstances, and in nccordan
with the spirit of the age, it was very natural th
our friend* and countrymen beyond thu Blue Rid;
should be seeking un outlet in any and every dire
liou for their teeming agricultural productions ai
mineral wealth. I cannot describe the plcasurat

to Kentucky, and the other coining from Wcste

carries thein to tl.e table land of Buncombe, (nc;

Congress, asking him to sand you a paper, nnd be
will generally to able to do so. ll not, the Secretary
of tour Stale Agricultural Society may be able
to supply ynn. *
i. Planting.?Choose a worm, mellow soil, such

start a liuls seed in ono corner of iu If you

sow a little in drill* two feet apart, the aeeds

3. Tillage.?'Hie Sorghum comes up looking
very puny?much like broom-corn or fauru-gruss.
If you set u blockhead to weed it, he will probably
pull it up, and report that it never germinated. Cultivate
like In lian corn?only laillifully. If suckers
start a majority siy pinch them or pull them off?
that is, m growing fur seed. This need not be done
in growing lor sugar.
4. Harvesting.?Whenever the seed shall bv.

say three feet long, aud hang them up like brooin.

th.it ihu Sorghum is ul least twenty five per cent,
more nutritious than tlie Corn. Hut nil that can be
efftcted this year is to prow a pood supply of seed,

and fodder. Not year will be soon enough for
most cultivators to think of sowing for fodder or
grinding into sugar.
One word of caution to eiperimrnter*. Don't
run tliu thing miu the ground. The Sorghum w ilt
prove a valuable addition to our crops, if wu don't
render it odious by some MiiIiumuIi* foolery. Hut
wheat, Indian corn, and uluver are not going out of

To scale the wall* would be easy, but Do object
would be gained by pourit.g our tiandu' of tr?s.p>

but thai the assault would be successful. Having
got possession of the palace, the city fills at once
There is, however, a chance ol the river ruing suddenly,
when the ballcries would be destroyed, so
that this attack entirely depends upon the river and
the probability of its rise. The next and m'Mt mole

I the une adopted, n to attack near the Cashmere
. gate. The advantage is this, that our Iclt would be
