steam engine, nor pounco vlown upon

Madam, the spider is perhaps shocked

the spider has a right to laugh at
your coarse daubs as she runs over t
them. Just show her your crochet work <j
when you shriek at her. "Have you spent j
half your davs uoon these clumav nti.
macassars and these ottoman covers ??
My dear lady, is that your web t If I (
were big enough, I might with (
reason drop you and cry out at you. ,
Let me spend a day with you and bring t
mj* work. I have four little bags of
thread?such litf lo bags ! In every bag
there are more than one thousand holes
?such tiny, tiny holes 1 Out of each
hole a thrcd runs, and a!| the threads?
more than four thousand threads?I spin
together as they run, and when they are
all spun they mnke but one thread of the
web I weave. I have a member of my
family who is herself no bigger than a
grain of sand. Imsgine what a slender
web she makes, and 6f that, too, each
thread is made of four thousand or five
thousand threads that have passed out of
her four bags, through four .or five thousand
little holes. Would you drop her,
too, crying out about your delicacy I A
pretty thing, indeed, for you to plume
yourself on your delicacy, and scream at
us." Having made such a speech, we

Explanatory.
Perhaps the suspension of our paper fo
two weeks, requires an explanation. It i
known to printers, if not to the gcneralii
of men, that to print a news paper, one c
the most important implements used, is
roller. A roller is made of glue and molu.<
ses. In tho Summer season, the eonsister
ifWirthi Molasses if the roller were too sol
?in the Winter, if not made sufficiently sol
and pliant, it would become too hard. W
were unable to procure tho right kind c
glue here, and although our type was all
up, after some dozen attempts or more t
make a roller of the material we had, w
were finally compelled to send off for glut
Wo have a supply now, and a good rolle
and hope to be punctual hereafter. We ni
willing to mako up the loss to our subscr
bers, by extending their subscriptions tw
weeks longer; so, in the end they will los
iiuiniDg.
This paper is not what we would wis!
but to have seen a fattier sitting by the be<
side of his only son day ufter day, and nigli

him breath his last; when this isconsiderei
the frown will depart from the faces of man
of our friends. Bless God, he is convalet

and with a firm determination to do our u<
most, to make the ledger ?n agreeable visi

In a week or ten days we look for a cor.
pie of compositors, so that with addition:)
help, we will be prepared to fulfil our prom

Charleston and the Fall Trade- tl
Some time ago, we wrote an ar ticlo on c<
the above subject, which has been noticed c
by seveial papers in this State, amongst oth- 1
crs, the IS'ewberry Sentinel.
We can assure our friend of the Sentinel ,
it wis very far from our intention to prejudice
Country Merchants against Charleston
Merchants. We wished to murk out an error,
tho correction of which, would redound ,
to the benefit of the beloved city of our nativity.
I
But few Country Merchants will visit
Charleston this Winter. The yellow faver
will either drive them North, or, otherwise 1
compel them to order.
Tho pestilence raging in Charleston at 1
this time, will take thousands, yes hundreds |
of thousands of dollars away, which would I
have been poured into her lap. Why?? (
There arc wo are told fine stocks in Charleston
! Country Merchants do not liko to order.
We know some, who will not order.
Tho two last cases of ordering goods from
this district, and from different houses, wo
know in both coses tho gentlemen who ordered.
were most egrcgiously "sucked in."
Did we not care, and tnko an interest in the
prosperity of Charleston, wo would not
speak thus. True, wo admit it, Merchants
in New York and Philadelphia, may also
bike the advantage, but, it is no reason that
Charleston should imitate their example,
rather should it influence h?r Merchants to
do otherwise.
There is not a citizen in the State we
presume, but desires to see Charleston pros
per. The late disastrous gale, and now the
fatal scourge raging in her midst, causes the
tear to drop from many an eye, and tho sigh
to escape from many a bosom ; but must \vc
behold glaring faults, and shutting our eyes,
say, go on gentlemen, humbug our green
ones, so you make Charleston a great com!
mercial city ? Nay, we cannot, we will not.
j We wish every Country Merchant would
purchase in Charleston. State pride, yes
National j ride, should determine them withi
out the least hesitation. The expressions
of the New York Press, are enough to arouse
th" indignation of every Merchant and
man in the South ; yet, we would say to
. Charleston Merchants, secure the custom of
, your Country friends, by fair, honerable dealing
' The Post Office Department, and the
8outh Carolina Rail RoadQuite
an interesting correspondence wo
find in the Carolinian in relation to the
1 transportation of the mails on tho South
Carolina ltait Road. The Post Office De
partinent has been paying for this service?
the transportation ol the mails from Charr
leston to Augusta and Columbia?$237.50
per-inile. The Company aro required now
y to run night trains instead of day traius ; to
if do this, und at the same time uccouimoduto
a the public, and secure their own interest, it
would be necessary to place au additional
i. train on the road. For this extra service,
.? i ?? u?mir
ft donate. They demand $6i.50 per mile
It more, making $300 per mile, the price paid
e by the Department for similur service on the
>f roads between New York und Wilmiugtou.
;t Mr. Campbell the Post Master General, reo
fuses to accede to tho demanJ, and Mr. Calde
well the President of the South Carolina
s: Rail Road Company, positively refuses to
r, perform the sorvice for less. How the uiaU
e ler will end we do not know. Mr. Caldi
well has given the Post Master General to
o the first of November to consider the matter,
le and it ut thut time he refuses to comply with
his demand, the mails must be transported

The next paper is
Tub National Monitor.?A very excellent
paper this, edited by Aduison
Farnsworth, a formei editor of the New

of reading matter in the Monitor, aud
what we have road, quite interesting.
It is strictly a literary paper?a family
paper, and deserves support. It is published

?The New York Tribune thus pointedly
insults Southern merchants who do
business in Now York :
" Southern merchants do indeed keep
away from New York, for the reason that
they cant pay their debts ; there is no
doubt that if the jobbers of this city had
not trusted Southern traders for the past
three years, they would Ihj a great deal
better off than theV are."
Wo hope Southern merchants will
have sufficient self respoci to prevent New
York from further suffering by their custom.

Managers ov Elections.?Managers
of Lections will find the following extract
quite useful:

State Legislature, without issuing any
writs of election, except in case of vacancy.

In the Act of 1852, page 3, the election
for Representatives in Congress, is to
be held in the same manner ss for ruein
hers of the Legislature, without issuing
writs of election.
The next being a general and regular
election, no writs are issued, and the Managers
of Election are required to bold
elections for members of Congress, in the
same manner as for members of the Legislature.
Diaboucal Attkmft.?We are grieved
to be compelled to record such an offence
as the diabolical attempt made on
Monday evening to tbrow the passenger
car oft from the high treeael-work at the
upper end of town, and opposite the dwelling
ot Mr. James It. Aiken. It appears
from the statement of Mr. Fowler, that
some one had deliberately, in a spirit of
fiendish mkchierousnese, taid a rail across
the track, which, if (he train had passed
over, must hare precipitated it to the
depte or eotne 40 or 50 feet. Most fortunately
when the train stopped to exchange

the light from the lamp revealed the opitacle
to the vigilant engineer.? W\na6oro

HEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. ??
ro tub Editor or Lancaster Ledger. h<
Dear Sir:?With Saturday the 9th 1,1
nL closed the bested term of Septembsr. ^
1854, a term only equaled, in its intensi- ?
ty Hnd duration by that of Soptember, ci
1822?the last yellow-fever year in New ?<
York- It whs succeeded by a general
storm, which washed our streets to the d
granite and made the very paving stones ^
rejoice. Being the season of the year ?
for sowing wheat and rye, the general w
complaints of the long continued drouth p
that reached us from every section of the a
country, created some feeling of alarm ti
with reference to the fate of the small t<
grain crops of the next harvest. But the t
" crisis had arrived," and softly and stCA- ?
dily the rain fell, a* if hesitating between t
a good thorough drenching and another n
disappointment. And now we hear of it ^
from most quarters, and where we hear c
nothing, it is because the wires are down, t
We may therefore anticipate the goner- (
al setting in of a rainy season, and of 1
such a general change in the atmos- '
phere, in all quarters, from tbo breaking i
up of the late "heated term," as will not I
only result in the reclamation of vegota- '
lion, but also in the rapid extinction of
cholera and yellow-fever, wherever they <
may happen to exist. '
As might have beeu predicted, in spite <
of Santa Anna's treasury being so re ]
cently replenished, appearances indicate <
that his tenure of authority is rather procarious.
Such, however, would seem to I
be the fact, if any reliance can be placed I
on the official bulletins of the revolutionary
army, as published at their head-quar- 1
tors in Acapulco. Hitherto, the fighting i
has only resulted in petty encounters be- 1
tween the government troops and the
rebels?which nevertheless are invariably
dignified by the ministerial organs
as glorious victories on their side, while
the revolutionary sheets as invariably
represent them as shameless routs sustained
by the partisans of the despot.
Which party really has the best of it,
in the present uncertain slate of ntfairs,
is utterly impossible to be told?but it
seems likely that p<a>r Mexico ia not
destined to enjoy pence for some years
to come.
While llritain and Holland are contending
more energetically with us for
the commanding influence, in connection
with the foreign commerce of Japan than
it was thought probable they would essay
not long since, we are receiving highly
favorable reports of the success of Com
modore Perry's expedition. Our Recounts I
now reach down to ^ ay 14th, *t which I
King. It would secin that throughout, the
entire exjunlition Commodore Pe^ry has
succeeded in combining dignity and
firmness so happily with kiudness and
cordiality, that he has made our squadron
and our country re*|Hvted without
. in any w?y humiliating the National pride
o| the Japanese. So lar as we are at
present aide to judge, we do not believe
in spite of their superior experience, with
Eastern affairs and connection with E.istern
commerce, that either Britain or
1 Holland will be able to rub us of the
legitimate advantages properly belonging
to us, as being the first to induce Ja
pan U become a portion of the coin,
inercial world. The treaty that Japan
has already entered into with us, shows
that we have made a favorable impres
sion and it now only remains with the
government to preserve and increase
itNew
York is. once more in town
again for the seasou, Grisi and Mario
were doubtlessly the first motive power
to lure the wonderers back to their old
haunts, and the cool weather of the past
week having added a fresh impetus, the
fashionable watering places are being
rapidly deserted. And so once morBroadway
is crowded with familiar faces ;
from the fair dames who sport the very i itest
Parisian fashions, and those delicate
little articles neatly done up in French
broad cloth, tipped with whito kid gloves,
patent leather and mustaches, hy courtesy
only called men, down to the big
bnrly blioyM >ix feet and well proportioned,n
who look* for all the world like a,
great, good-natured Newfoundland, dog,
content in his own conscious strength
apparently both with himself and (he
world at large. Hut eren the deligfitsof
the Opera sin'< into insignificance before
the heated discussions which party politics
generated, and each hour aliQost
some new movement is spoken of, or
some new man named. Plots and intrijue*
of every kind are the order of the

of all the cliques of all the parties ;

be impossible for the moet knowing one* I
even to calculate, with auy degree of certainty,
the result of the approaching election.
Although the ultimate euoccae of the |
Reward whig* in the primary election* I
had bean long eousidcred aa very doubtful,
it waa not believed until after the else- 1

so utterly defeated?for newer probably in *

week. It a as a ''Know Nothing triumph, h
id shows clearly that even iu New York A
erself, the votes of that mysterious party j ^
re more than sufficient to counterbalance q
lose of the Irish. Whether the boast is jno
nuturod result of their recent victory we cQ|# 1
iu hardly say ; but it is pretty freely Josej
.ated that the Know Nothings and Fiil- R. E
lore whiga have carried a majority of the Mrs.
( legates who are to meet at Syracuse on '
Wednesday next, to make the regular ^rrl
diig State ticket. If it really be so it jjrJr
rill prove unfortunate for the old whig ^ s
arty, as then doubtlessly the convention j yy
t Auburn will tuake separate noinina- j,,|,n
ions, and between the two, it will tumble Jam?
o pieces, or have to join with the Alioli- J. F.
ionists and Temperance men. Seward Jon'i

we believe, to the ultras of both factions Maj.
t would be impossible to get the whig-* Wm

It is too early as yet to go through the

programme will depend upon the events

From reports received this morning, |1 (j
