At the opening of the Stock Exchange, an army oi brokers ~poured into and around. Every one wias wild with exotiomont. The brokers made a united and terrible charge on the en tiro liab of stock, which gave away iith a fearfulcrabh.. Alargins, beams &o., wore used, and the crowd of bro k'rs rushed in to save thomselvcs The seone in the Exchango was equal ly wild in oharacter, and several tinies it seemed as if violence would be resorted to by the bulls who were fairly maddened by their terrifc losses. The gallery was crowded with SpOtators. The gold market was neglected, and file wholo businioms of (ho stroot ceitored upon the stock busuess, which was immenso; and largo blocks of stock changed hand. alnoat overy motmcit. The transac tiuim before noon were equal to the averago of many ordinary days. About 11 o'oluck a wild panio etrucl the morket, and antid tremendous nales, certain that failures were in. ovitablo. Certain parties were doing their best to sustain the market while the opposition were fighting with a desperato enorgy. Stocks for the first two or three hours fluctuated. Westorn Union fell ton per cent. without an j)pnrent struggle. The house of Jay, Cooke & Co., havo sus penled business. The suspension of the firm, it in said, will be but tom porary. All their own obligations are prov ided for. It is claimed that the housc he4ld ono million dollars over their liabilitier on their side. 'ho following arc the particulars, given by Mr. Fainstock, ' one of Jay Cooke & Co: I lo says that for several weeks the uneasy feeling which pro vailed in connotion with the Iow railroad schemties, caused heavy draws upon deposits both in the Philadel phia and Now York housen. The do. posits of both cities suffered dontinual draw3 until at the beginning of the present month, their cash was lower than any time during tho severest stringency during fall and this spring. Tho draw upon deposits, already so heavy, was still further increased by recent suspensfions and the domand for money was heavy, anhd was folt still miore severoly in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia house was compelled to call upon the New York house for aid, of large amount, and assistance wa. rendered. The Philadelphia house w.as under large advances to the Union Tacilio Railroad oinpalny, involving large sums of Imoncy, prevoting thenm frumi maintaining the reserve ordinari ly kept ; and they were therefore una ble to respond to the domand of credi tors. to For thisroason they woro unaiblo advances made, or supply the eel lat orals available in New York at the present timio. Owing to this the cash bills became exhaustedl, and the sus penisionl became inovitable.. Fainstock said the different memn bers of the tinns wore posiessed of a large amount of private and personal property, but nsono of this was availa ble in an emergoncy such as the pros, out. lie was not prcparcd at p resent to tell the exact aimount of the liabili. ties or assets of the firm, but be, be llovedl that all 1ho creditor would be paid in full, the suspension of the Now York house would not affect the eredlit of t he Lonidoni honso of d)ay (Cooko, iMc~ulough & tie, Their businecss, he said, is entirely separate from that of the New York firm, and heby have mnoreover largo cash suirplus and their exchange and letters of credit will not bo injured. ie said, in conclusion, ho did inot believe the suspension of the firm. would necessarily embarrass others; as their chief creditors wore banks and bankers. Mr. Cross, another member of theo firm, says the suspension is merely temporary, as that firm is, no doubt, perfootly solvent. 11o had no idea wvhant the liabilities amounted to and the exact figures could not yet be obtained with any degree of accura Gold rose rapidly from 111}, the opening price to 1 12&. There wore only eleven bids for treasury gold, aggregating $2,3 17,300, at prices r~anging from 110 to 1114. it is said that J. Cooke & Co. Arm short of gold to the extent of about $6,000, 000. Th'lat firm bas, within the last few days, entered into inaportant finan cial negotiations Wvith numerous houses, among them being Rlobt. Tiobo & Co. of Berlin, and Dresden and Al. bert Frinsdorf, of Iloinburg,.It is also stated that within the last few days, they have beeu in negotiation with Alexander Lemon, of IHanover. Hlalf past two this afternoon, the suspen *lon of Robinson & Soydoms, brokers, was announced in Stock Exchange. Richard Scholl suspended at Sun down. The fact that so few failuresm have ccurred ou Stock Exchange, is a re minarkable evidence of strength, and alnmost without a precedent in history. At J. C. & Co.'s oilico late this afser ioan, the nmembers of the firmi were blosed together, looking over their af fairs, but dhteline any further stat . and return in the forn of cloth ; an, thus thousands of dollars find thei way every yo,ar into tho pookots c Northern speculators and weroshanti Factories should be built. It i useless to speak of Northern oapita and enterprise. Tho neglected wate por:er of Columbia i. a lasting ionu ment of our foliy in seeking extr neous aid. We must help oursolvei A stook company should be formed c our own citizens. Planters wont find themselves amply repaid for a expenditure of money for this pui pose, not only in actual divideuds, bu in the increased prien of cotton. L( thei subscribo mon!ey, cotton, C provisiois, or oven laud-anythini that has a markotable value. TL proeeds of eight hundred bales < cotton would establish' a factory I begiu with, and this might be er larged from year to year. The fL ture prosperity of Fairfiold rests i her tanufactures. Will she fail I seize the opportunity u'Kil soi' tihrewd Northern capitalist buys u her water pov.4r ? Perhaps it woul be well for the Granges to sot the ba in motioa. Shares can be put at low iguro, so as to fall in tho ioac of all. While other Counties ai agitating the question of railroad lot Fairfield establish manufaetorie She will hnd them. hnore profitable. We make no appeal'to patriotism. The question is one of dollars an cents. The factories now in oper. tion pay anuual dividends of from I to 30 per cent. on the capital investe ed, while farming has been oaloi lated to realize only live per cent. There is money in the schome. Wb will take the initiatory steps ? Collapse of the Balloon. And so the manmoth balloon hi burst. After our ninds had bet strained for weeks in contemplatlr the ascension with its probabio ri suits, we confess we were keenly di appointed at tfils inglorious termini Lion of the wondrous undertaking. But this failure proves nothing cithi for or against the western current. Tho point iuvolved wid not wheth< a balloon could be conariucted thi would traverso the air for a long p riod. That ha ;s u; tn already prove by the experinmont of lruf'. Lowe i 1861. The question of reaching 10 rope by aerial navigation was the ori Wo be solved, and Ieromains, 0.3 was previous to the last effort, iuvol o in unlcoltaintv.

Wednesday Morning, Sept. 24 1873. Oarrying the War into Afrioa. A State grange -a boen organized in Pennsylvania. ia is emphati cally "carrylbig the war into Africa." The granges have comnonccd a cru sado against monopolies and extortion; and Pennsylvania is the hot-bod of thesepests. I1ero aro the headquarters of the Ponusylvania Central Railro ad, that is doing all in its power to : press producers. Here, too, Simon (lameron wields his sceptro over the huge irou monopolies. Here, too, is the rottenest political ring in the wholo United States. The granges in invading tho onemy's 't'orritory, and planting their standard in' Fis very tecth, show an amount of pluck aud determination that will ensure sucOss in tho.end. Ratilroad Oasualties. Just as tho..publio mind has been lulled to ropose; after some als-.ster, it is suddenly roused by some new and unexpected horror. Wednesday last we were all shocked by the It tails of the accident near Stack's Turnout. The next day a collision occurred on the Vilmington) Road ; and on Saturdajn frightful accident happened on the South Carolira Rail road by which four souls were hurried into eternity. Theso tragedies werc more frightful from being totally un expected. 1:tilroad accidents attend ed by loas of life are comparatively rare in the South, and from this fact much carelessnes prevails. Careless. ness was the chief cause of the first collision. The down train was twen ty niiintos'bohind at Ridgeway, and Coiiduotor Orchard determiucd to make another station before waiting for it to pass him. The thing had boon done before. No accident had happened, and why should it this attempt sticceed. .lt .was tried. We know the result. had every precau tion been taken to soure safety, two homes would hnt ave been saddened. The South Caro!ina Railroad aoci dent resulted 'froiu carelessness. reavy rains had prevailed, and tho trILV11 IYOO jI&PLUIJ..1* 14-04-1 neer Brickmurn was exercising soic precautiton, but not enough, and he lost his life in consequence. We trust that the railroad con panies will prolit by these lessons, and command the greatest care and diligence on the -part of their em ployees. Af'airs are tmaaged too loosely. When an ofticer in, guilty of carelessness or disobedienco he should bo dismissed whether accident result or not. Th'le law hais heretofore treat ed on'ending'oflicials in eases of rail roadl ac'idents with too miuch lenien. cy. Not autil a few are hanged or placed in thle penitentiary for causing the death of their fellow creatures will these railroad tragocdies'coaso to shock the public ziun. . Manufacturos.

They are content to farm year after year, living from hand to mouth, over erogbing theinsolves and over crowding eaclh oth'or, when new ave' nues of wealth lie unopened in their midst. It is genorally supposed that vast capital is required to establish a factory. This Idea is erroncous. A factory can be put into operation for $415,000 that will yield a heavy divi dead. Trho people of Fairfld t.hould take steps to inaugurate a system of man51 ufactures. In our County, at Rocky Mount, the rapids of the Catnwbat fuirnmish mngnificent water power. A canal three miles long, with substtan.. tial looks of stone and brick in fine* preservation is already there. Them fall in this distane, is over one A undred feet, and this, with the ample volume of water in the river, supplies urn limited motive power for factories..
