NEW YORK. September iltii, 1N?
Now lei iLe kettle to the trumpet speak-tb?
trumpet to the cannoneer without-the cannon t<
tho heavens -tho heavens to the earth, for Mon!
trie is himself again !! ! Ot all the band tHrneezing*
Of lovers, which are good, arid all the tender pro
testattons of affection, which are, comparatively
speaking, bettor, and all the - well all the Kisses
which ?ire. superlatively speaking, Lost, there is
nothin? that eau compare with thc exquisite pleas?
ure derived from a renew.i ot'an engagement which
had been broken oil by circumstances over which
ueiiher of rho lovers had any control. Now. where?
as, the engagement between the NEWS and its cor?
respondent was dissolved by corraapond?ngiy un?
controllable circumstances. Moultrie at least is
made most excruciatingly happy by virtue ot its
renewal, and i estimes his letters with the greater
satisfaction on account ol avery full heart and :>
pocket not quite so uncomfortably plethoric.
All hail, then, to my old friends, tho readers of the
NEWS, all hail to those who were kind enough to
express regret at Mordtrie'a temporary disappear?
ance under a cloud, and who, I hope, will be kind
euough again to lejoice with bim that the sun
shines once more upon the day which beholds him
pen in hand at the good old work of posting them
on the news, comprising all tho events, social, po?
litical, commercial, financial, local, serious and
facetious.'that have- transpired, do transpire and
may transpire in and around this great busy,
bustling metropolis of the Western Hemisphere.
By a strange coincidence I am brimful of rather
interesting matter with which to begin my first re?
newal note, or. I should say, renewal letter; for on
receipt, last uight. of the welcome intelligence
that THE NEWS is open to me, as all print was opon
to Sins WEGO, I had just returned from a visit to
the public institutions on Blackwell's Island, in J
compauy with n party ot ladies and gentlemen
from Charleston, who will naturally havo some cu?
riosity to see what I have to say about tho sights
wo saw. Tlte visit included a personal inspection
of the Lunatic Asylum, .Vims House. Work House
and Penitentiary, and I propose not to give you a
guide book account of these places, but a simple
recital of the most prominent features thereof, in
my own loose, running, careless style. In the
Work House and Alms House, there is nothing
worthy of special note, except that they are sub?
stantial and well constructed edifices, regulated
and arranged with a scrupulous regard for the
comfort of the unfortunate inmates, and with the
floors aud every portion of the building the very
quintescence ot 'cleanliness and order. Add to
this the novel sight of a ward for babies, who are
rocked to sleep by other than a mother's hands
as these poor little one?, neavon help them, arc all
motherloss, or what is even worse, abandoned by
their natural guardiaus-together with the circum?
stance that the ??oundsaro most beautifully laid
out, oue walk running through a grove of weeping
willows, being quite as beautiful as any promenade
in ihe Central Park, and enough will have been
said of these.
It men and women with minds diseased can
possibly be made comfortable, theu can tho poor
lunatics in the asylum on Blackwell's be said to be
comfortably Used, and yet, poor creatures, it must
move a heart of hardest adamant to look upon
their haggard faces and vacant countenances in
which the light of reason has gone out forever, or
flickers with a sickly and unwholesome glare that
tells of tho mental wreck irr them, and suggests a
thousand causes ;'or these "minda distraught.''
Every phase and species of this dire affliction can
be seen in the asylum-hero in tho cells with wan
faces and glaring eyes peeping througli the bars
of the heavy iron grating is madness in oven-form,
and here again at the rude dining table (to which
somf of the politer maniacs invited MOULTRIE,
?it tba ur.loitur.atci partaking of a soup (?) unlikf
DELIIOMCO'S. and Ircad harder even than thc heart
if him who could look unmoved upon the sony
picture, lilli madness in evutj . i.?* und form,
ho harmless and idiotic maniac seated upon the
?oor, or slowly promenading along tho broad pas
jage way, with a stolid look aud meaningless Htare,
is of one who had lost something, he knows not
?hat, and searchei in vain for that which never
ian be found, H^re the melancholy wretch with
BJ ea ever downcast, and a look that betokens thc
Jeath ot hope, which from the PANDORA'S box in
ans crushed heart has ned En horror, chased there
from by ?he mercQosa hand of wan, despair ; bon
i poor young girl deceived, ruined and abandoned
by aom^ fiend itt human shape, of whom ?ho
raves from morn till night, and again from
aight till dawn, and who, perchance, aa she
Sita in her lonely cull, walks abroad in the gay eily
opposite, with heal erect, respected by society be?
cause he has not defrauded a man of his gold, but
only robbed a poo.- woman of her virtue, ber hap?
piness, and her mind. Here a facetious maniac
wno amuse8 himself and others by thc most extra?
ordinary antics aad contortions of his features
that can be conceived, and which, from their very
absurdity and grotesqueness, provoke a smile even
while tho heart of the beholder is pained and sad?
dened as, spite ot che ludicrous grimaces, ho de?
tects an air of weariness and misery that teiis of a
bean agony that no pen can picture. But, obi
most terrible eight of sll-aec there behind the
iron grating of that darkened ceil the riving mad?
man, his muscular arms closely pinioned to ivis
sido in the folds of a straight jacket, his eyes glare
with the savage ferocity of the starved panther,
the loam bursts from his mouth, from which the
blood trickles, as in his frenzy he has bitten bis
tongue, and then with trantic yells and frightful
burst of laughter attempts in vain to break thc
chain that binds him, and by which he is prevented
from dashing out his brains against thc solid ma?
sonry of his dungeon floor. But why dwell upon
this painful picture ? Let mo rather relato such
incident i as tend to show that m His superaban
dant mercy and goodness the All-Wise Creator can
even \ ouchsafe happiness to him whose mind has
been completely wrecked. I was yesterday
personally introduced to a number" of in
saue ladies and gontlemeu in whoso, mad?
ness there ' is to much method that they
are, beyoud all doubt, much happier than
they could pussiblv ever have been before their
minds wero wrecked. One of theso mono-ma?
niacs is impressed with a conviction of the fact
that the great encl und object for which ha has
been placed iu this sublunary sphere ia to prevent
his.fellow-men from ever succumbing to au attack
of Asiatic cholera. On the middle huger of his
right hand this philanthropic madman wears a
brass ring artistically enveloped iii a frame work
of duly cord. You ti?vc but to shake hands with
him arid touch the corded ring, aud there can be
no remote possible chance ot your ever taking
your doparturo from this terrestrial globe by any
bf the cholera routes. Moultrie shook hands with
tho cholera, but not cholenc man, about fifteen or
twenty times, and was much pleased and amused
at notiug how happy the poor luuatic seemed to
be at each affectionate shake. Should J ever die
of the Asiatic disease after this stomachic pre?
ventive, you must never more believe the word ol
mocu-striick philanthropists.
My text introduction was to the "Queen of
Heaven, " who se6me, uowever. to hav*< taken a
wrong train and gotten1 into the other kingdom by
mistake; for she holds forth in the mad house (to
which department the ladies of eur party could
not be admitted, as many of the lunatics Indulge
in naughty language, not to speak of certain pan
tominnc per?oialances more objectionable eveu
than the Black Crook). The "Queen of Heaven"
informed me ?bet, in addition to the duties
appertaining tc her celestial office, she also
fills the position of matron of the establishment,
and added, veith courteoub HJlit^ntss and com?
mendable consideration, that should 1 desire to be
admitted into the aajium as an inmate, stu- would
kindlv use her influence in behalf of thc speedy
attainment of IGV desire, l assured the quccu
that nothing would ccndijce so materially to rm
happiness and peace of mind zs the hope of being
deemed wortbv of the honor sim proposed, auu
that I accepted with pleasure her generous ot-fcr
whereupon I succeeded in rendering "ouc mule
unfortunate" inexpressibly happy.
I was presented next to a Gcnran physician,
book worm and ei-newspaper man. who proved to
be ?o intelligent that I doubted his insanity, till
he settled the point at once by most unexpected:y
euiering into a lengthy and eloquent eulogy upon

ST. Loins, MISSOPRI, 1??7
To ?fie Editor of the Daily Kern:
I have spent six days io taking a careful sun
of this great Western city, and I am much m<
favorably impressed with St. Louis, especially w
its brilliant prospects for the future, than with a
city west of the Allegheny. During tho four yoi
of desolating war, tho commerce of St. Louis v
locked, and tho keys given to ber rival, the Gard
City on Lako Michigan. Chicago, being one of t
widest-awake towns went ol' New York, was r
slow in taking advantage of her position. F.
shrewd merchants with tho key of disloyal :
Louis in tliyir pockets, could pet permits to si
immense cargoes of merchandise to and from !
Louis, thereby reaping tho profits that l?gitim?t?
belonged to this city. It is said immense fortuu
were made in this way. and that some army oi
cers shared in ibo spoils. As the people of M
souri are not yet fully reconstructed, allowa?
must be made for the stories they tell on tht
neighbors across tho river. 1 was amused to w
ness the rivalry that exists between the ti
cities. A Missourian would as soon nive
his money in the sand banks of Saco Beach,
in real estate in Chicago, for they devoutly b
lievc-if not hope-that Chicago is to receive b
final doom long before tho general conflagratio
that she is not to be destroyed by lire, but is to 1
buried beneath the angry billows of lako Michiga
If ?.ho wealthy men of this cit.- would imitate tl
"reckless speculators" of Chicago in pushing fo
ward io completion their line of raUroads, thc
would thon have less cause to be jc-alou9*of tho
energetic and prosperous neighbors. Forty yeal
(?go the site on which Chicago now stands, was
wilderness inhabited by savage Indians. At prei
mt it is thc centre of a great net-work of raUway:
and has become a rich and prosperous city, bai
inc pcmo 200,000 iuhabitants, and is ono of tb
largest grain depots in fae world.
SI. Louis, however, is destined to be the Ne
?ork cl the West. Il is built on solid rock, on tb
west bank nf the mother of waters- a single brau.1
af which is navigable up the great Northwesl
3.200 miles. Situated as St. Louis is, in the centr
of tho Valley of the Mississippi, midway bet wee;
the Atlantic and Pacitic Oceans, it is to be tb
Mmmoreial heart of North America. Nat ure bu
marked .St. Louis xs the great inland metropolis o
this continent, her 20,000 miles of navigable waten
pouring their rich cargoes into this mart, will
lines of railroads which are to tap tho Pacific, sur
Hounded by ono hundred thousand square miles o
tue moot fertile lam? ?a the globe. With the?
?treams of gold pouring into her. St. Louis mus
in time becomo one ol the richest and most popu
lons cities in America. If church steeples aieanj
indications of the piety of a city, then St. Loui?
anist be considered a pious city. Sho has ono hun
Ired and fifteen churches, ten convents, mime rom
universities, high schools, medical colleges, acade?
mics, etc. It has fifteen orphan asvlums am
homes for the widows and destitute. The Romai
Catholics are building bore uno of tho finest cathe?
drals in the United States. St. Louis has fifty in
:oi jmrated banks ami private hanking houses, em?
ploying a capital of forty millions dollars. It alsi
fias forty-five insurance companies. Fifteen hun
ired buildings, mostly of brick and stone, wen
greeted during the pasi year. 'J'en daily newspa?
pers are printed here; some of them are ably
?ditod. The Merchant's Exchange reminded
me of thjb world renowned Bourse of old Ham?
burg, in Germany. Ai ll o'clock, the merchants,
bankers and brokers, representing evory branch
of commerce, assemble in a spacious hall,
and dispose ol' tho rich cargoes of merchan?
dize, grain and provisions which aro being landed
on the spacious levee from tho floating palaces, just
in from thc Rocky Mountains or the Gulf of Mcxi
:o. St. Louis sold last year more than two hun?
dred mil?on dollars worth of provisions and mer?
chandise: har trade can bc doubled if she wili push
forward her line of railways. Thc economical
Germans arc to bc met herc in every branch of
commerce and profession, and by their industry and
frugality have added mach to thc wealth of their
adopted city. The active, enterprising Yankees
hr.ve also done their share in building up thc com
morco of St. Louis. The Now Englanders who
come Weat rarnind mc of a boy I knew in the
mountaius of ? leorgia. who destroyed one-half of
his mother's chickens in his impatience to havo
them 'hatch'' ?B less than twenty-one days. The
Ne? Englanders, with their activity and energy of
character, clear tho forests, build railroads, erect
rude dwellings, lay the foundation for great cities,
bul they can't wail the full twenty-one days, [hey
are impatient to realize, sell out and take hold ol a
new enterprise, iilaay a fortune is lost, much hap?
piness destroyed, and many a chicken killed in the
"pip"'by this impatient, restless spirit. Von might
as well expect the waters that flow over tho rapids
above tho Kails of Niagara to flow gently and
smoothly as for the ''irrepressible" Yankee to re?
main quietly on a Western homo, especially when
he hears that there are richer lands a few hundred
miles further West.
The mountains of mineral wealth which he at
thc very doors of St. Louis will necessarily make
it a great manufacturing aa well as a great com?
mercial city. In addition to its rich mines of coal,
lead and iron, they have roccutlv discovered lin.
Si. Loni? possesses the elemente of greatness In
having an abundance of cheap food, cheap incl,
und cheap transportation.
I go to-morrow to Iron Mountain, and then fur

SUEJUFVS SALES.-The formidable array of sher
iii 'a sales found in our advertising columns will, nc
doubt, produce melancholy reflections in regard tc
an apparent lack of prosperity in our district.
This unpleasant condition of affairs has beef
mainly produced by the unsettled condition of thi
country, politically, and the people of the district
must Lear the burden thus imposed upon them
bv their conqporers. Still, we think much ol
the evil dreaded in view nf these numerous
levies, might be avoided bj un earnest effort tc
comply with the lax laws of tin- Slate. This opin?
ion has been made a plain truth in several pre?
vious cases. The sheriff, as an officer, has used
all the teni tv he could, consistently with his offi?
cial bond and oath, und we have reasons lor know?
ing that the State Solicitor has been instructed to
Institute legal proceedings against him at thc next
court, in event, of his duties in this mat ter not
being complied ?iib. The sherill has, therefore,
no alternative left him but to proceed in each cane,
however painful the duty may be.

MK. EDITOR : I saw a niece in your paper a week
or so ago., from Mi. Dudley, m favor of a Conven?
tion, wnich ia altogether contrary to tho opinion ol
most of thc citizens of thc State. Look to Ten?
nessee what a deplorable condition: a Convention
just at this time would put South Carolina in a
worse fix. The time for a Convention may.'t?
coming, but bas not arrived; the party that is try
ing tonde is running wild ! yea, madly into an
forscen misery. The laborers are now complain?
ing ol' such heavy land rent, wh?c the most ot
them RIV renting lands for one dolla? per acre,
whereas if tue land was confiscated it would be?
long tn thc general Government, and if soldas
Government land as heretofore, would be worth
one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, the land
being already entered by old citizens, of course,
they would have lo pay to the Government the
price of ono dollar and twenty-five to secure
titles, that would, of course, increase tho rents
say from ono dollur now, tu two dollars and twenty
five conts. which would fall upon tho very party
that it in favor of confiscation.
'I bis should bo fairly understood by tho parlies
themselves, who, I do not suppose, lias given thc
subject a serious consideration; laborers can pur?
chase land now l'roi.i the citizen? for less money
than they can from tho Government if confiscated.
I hope this matter will bo well considered, and
several other matters of vital importance should
be looked into before the meeting of a Convention.
As thc landholders and laborers are all interested
together in the Convention, I hope they will post?
pone tho meeting for a yeur or two nt least until
proper reflection. M.

The document is as follows: 'No. 21. Prince

of praise, as also the respect and gratefulness
