Correspondence of the Lancaster Ledger
NF.W YOUR, NOV. IS. 18j7.
No loiter last week 1 think 1 iu*:u~ you
any! I will not plead the present mom lary
crisis as on excuse; lor every bo.lv
knows that all, but those who are entirely
pamlizcd, nerve themselves to a greater a*
mount of work than foturerly: and should
be more attentive to their duties. So the
monetary crisis in this city won't do for an
excuse. Hut suppose a cry-sis were to enter
a man's domestic circle: would you ex.
pect bite to bo able to pick \>p news, for Ids
correspondent ? Would you suppose him
capable of writing a loiter worth leadiou j
certainly not. Then be it known to vou
dear l*Si>?KR, that an cit: ; mm<i cry sis h. s
arrived at our house?the tirst time sueh an
ovor.t has ever happened. Tel I it to yum
readers ! I.et it be known h> the wor'd.
The times are x'ill better -incc niv last.
npd are still improving. Ti.c news too
from .1 cross the water is rather cheering
Upon the whole; tor although t! p pers
place u rather gloomy u.*p?cl on things,?
it is better tli.iu 1 expected, 1 confess?pri
vate ietters show a brighter face : and I propheay
that the Indian war \vi ?oiiie terminate
and with it all cause cf panics, and
that the spring of '58 will lind ns recovered
of the present crash and prospering.
Speaking of prophecies ; ii reminds me ;
Do you remember that I prophesied only in
October last, that we Would carry this State
for the Democrats ? Ilo,v true has my word
cotno 1 The Ji.ncks last year footed up a
inajoi ty oJ'about So.uwu against us. but the
idler second thought lias returned to the peo.
plu of the Empire State ; and we i.<?w have
near about lo 000 of a tnnjoiiiy against
them. Do you people of lh? sunny South
rejoice with us; or do yon think no good
thing can come out of Nazareth ?
s\ way on uie sircei cne outer tiny s.-iH :
"I nity the St:.to now that the Democrats
are again about to rule it" "Why ? are
yon not a democrat, and did yon not help
til you could, to place the parly in power ?'
Wat queried by several "Micks" present
"Ye*," was tho reply, -but I did not think
the democrats?tho hvpecrits?would net.-is
they are acting. A short timo ago when
heavy failures took, every body seemed to
sympathise?none more so than tho demo
crats; but now the election is over,they throw
off their disguise, and rejoice at it. Out
upon such conduct!" "Wiiat failure has
happened," asked tho Mucks '" ' The Irfmendous

party '' Tne "Blueks" owned 1 ha sell, and

You Imve no doubt seen. at large, th" de j
tails of the ' bread ri??t-? " in this eiiv. A I
large number of in the last few 1
months have been thrown <?n! of i tnploy
tnent, n l o are dependant upon their daily i
labor for tread ; and it is these who are makino
what are .'ailed riots .Starvation stares
them in the face, ap wonder they lire become
desperate.
The evil is n >t a light one ; or one that :
can be passed by, or easily disposed of.?
The present state of monetmy affairs makes
it utterly impossible for their former ein- |
ploy era to give thein work and pay for it ; 1
and there i* no prospect that there will he
a full resumption of business before the
spring of '58. In the meanwhile w hat must
these people do? Weare at the threslifmhl
of a long, hard w inter. It is difficult for
tery many of the laboring classes to live hero
through the winter, even in prosperous
times. It will he impossible, now that they
hnve no work. The heart *ickc% at the
bare contemplation of the misery that is entailed
upon the poor people, hy this revulsion
brought ahout hy those rich scoundrels,
I spoke of in a former letter, that they might
peculate a littlo more profitably,
'i'hese people must not starve?they must
have bread. But how they ive to get it is
a problem not yet solved. Our Mayor.
Wood, has proposed for the city to give
them work. This could he done on a pret
ty large scale, and much suffering would he
relieved. But Mayor Wo< 1 is attacked for
this, most bitterly, by tin- Black Republicans.
lie has, however, laid thu matter before
the council ; and the absolute necessity
to do something is apparent to every
body. I hope some measure for speedy relief
will he adopter!; for it is a sad thing to
witness the daily gathering* of men begging
for work; and to etc their processions, with
* their banners inscribed with but that one
expressive vow?bread. i much fear a
winter of horrors is before us. May He
who temper* tlie wind to the ?hor? lamb,
avert from u* the e\ils of starvation.
The Wood in or case is ended. The lady
has left fir her home in the South. Her
cuac wili be dieeuaacd for a few duyn l>y the
lovers of scandal; and then it will give place
to something else. Already is there a similar
cius on tjie tnpia. liut those ol your
readers who lo\o a little scandal now and
then, if there he any audi, can find all of the
disguu-eful details elsewhere. Far be it

it would relieve the pressure in the money

it is far any other class of society.

The Kiiitor ??f tho Camden Journal, from
observation rni information derived /it. " the
seat of Cioverumenl " gives it as his opinion
that the indications in favor of the election
to the United States Senate of the
Hon. James Chesnut, are decidedly favorable.
The Legislature, in our opinion, eould
1 not make a better selection. We expressed
I similar views several months ago, and have
seen nothing since, flint Would justify in us
a change ; lor as the Journal very truthfulI,

Death of Oen. Hamilton.
We find in our Charleston exchangee n
telegraphic despatch announcing the dentil
of Gen. Jumc* Hamilton of this Stnte. He
wan the unfortunnto victim ol another din'
aster at sea, occasioned hy a collision at
midnight on the Gulf of Mexico, between
I the steamer (ialrerton and the Opcloutn*.
The latter sank immediately,and Gen. (lain*
ilton with twctiiy.fi> e other passengers were
loft.
Gen. tlumillun, years ago, occupied a
highly promim-nt position in this State, and
with respect to liis cooreotinn w ith the polities
of thu country. Recently, since the
death of the lamented 1tut1er, his friends
I and admirers have been sohcitous that he
.return to public life, ami have .urged his
election to the United States Senate.?
Whatever may have been his prospeeUand
anticipations, his past distinguished services
I are sufficient to secure from every Carolinian
a large meed of sympn.hy and regret
at his sudden and melancholy death.

Legislature to convene. We have no ad!
vices from live Capital down to that day as

ever, we hope to give our readers, besides
the Governor's Message, a goodly quantity
of the proceedings of our Legislative Bodv.
i This session promises to be one of unusual
i interest. Itasidc* the ordinary business,
the important election for United Stat-a
senator is to be made, tlie election for I'resident
of the t oil. ye, and the subject of Uaok

; tlmt we advise those who wish to send
I money, to either buy a cheek, or send by
private conveyance. Our own experience
teaches us that the mail is not to oe relied
on. We sent a letter to Ci.nrleslon about
I one month since containing seventeen
dollars. Tlte letter has never reached its
destination, whilo the parly to whom it
was sent replies that, while up here this
fall, several letters written to Charleston
j have never l>?en received. There is great

you of the benefits I have derived from Dr.
M ' Lane's valuable ''ills. 1 have for two year*
past been alliicted with a severe pain over the
eyes, accompanied with a nervousness and stna
of dtsiincM ; a malady beyond the power and J
skill of our physicians to relieve and cure,caused, ^
.as far as I myself could judge, by a diseased state
of the liver and stomach. Some of the doctor*
tried bleeding, and various other remedies wero
tried hut all in vain for the deep-rooted diseae still
stuck fast. Al last I procured a bos of your
valuable Tills from a DruggisY. here, and feel,
after taking a poi lion of them, that the disease
anil painful sensation over the eyes has almost
entirely left me. l' will close by advising all
those afflicted a* I have been, to procure tho
valuable medicine at once, and save much time
and pain, with little cxp'-nse. With sincere
gratitude and respect, I remain yours respect- ^
