I am profoundly conscious that the sanctity aud magnitude of the inte? rests involved in the present political canvass in the United States are too immense not to demand a sacrifice of every personal consideration in a struggle upon the issue of which de- - pends, as I solemnly believe, the pre? sent peace and ultimately the exist? ence of a free republican Government on this continent.

REFORM ON BOTH SIDES OE THE WATr.it.-It is an old und true saving, that, "extremes meet," and the force of this adage is strikingly illustrated at tho ??resent time alike in Great Britain and in the United States. In tlie former country there exists nu aristocracy, the most wealthy and in fltiQnti:tl in Europe, which strives to control the people irrespective of any popular interests, heedless of any arguments save those which affect its o wu prosperity or existence. But the people have at last grown weary of this state of things, and Hie great question of reform, which for many years has been the political shuttle? cock with which public men have amused themselves, has now become the tost issue of the day, the issue on which Governments will stand or fall, the measure on which tho people are determined. In our country, also, we have in this year of our Lord, I860, an aris? tocracy, not of birth, like that of England, not of talent and worth, as should be the case in a republic, but of mere political chance. This aristocracy is nominally the enemy of oppression and thc friend of the people; but it is in reality- despotism itself-and, what renders it all the more dangerous-despotism in dis? guise; and its pride is that most per? nicious to mankind and revolting to Heaven, "the pride which apes hu? mility. " Thc only difference between the pld aristocracy of England and tho new regime of America, is that the former is feudal, and the latter radi? cal-one dates from William the Conqueror and the other from John Brown-but however unlike in name or dato, they assimilate closely in their nature. Both desire power at all hazards, and neither cares a rush? light for the people. [New York News. Our American cousins agaiu claim all tito credit for successfully laying the Atlantic cable. They claimed all tho credit in 1858, when it was thought the attempt of that year had been crowned with success; but the moment it was ascertained that the activo current had ceased to dow through tho submerged cable, they turned upon John Bull, and laid tho failure to his charge, as they have very gen erously laid all failures. They have patiently waited for ultimate success, and now that it has come, they lay greedy hands upon it. Well, we can have no objection whatever to allow their claim, provided they grant that the Great Eastern is Eng? lish built, English owned, and Bug lish manned; that the cable is Eng? lish owned, and English made, and English laid. If they will only admit so much, we shall freely allow them the pleasure of crowing over their success. - Ottawa {Canada) Citizen. Old Romeo, one of Dan Rice's ele? phants, broke loose, nt Buffalo, lately, and, getting into a well-stocked kitch? en ?irden, began to gobble up vege? tables. Wbon he was re-taken, it was found that he had left very little gar Lieu. Tho Senate passed a bill ?t the late i session, creating a sinking fund for the extinction of the publio debt, -which provided that no gold should bo sold by the Treasury, except the surplus over fifty millions, and that it then should be sold in open mar? ket. This was not acted upon in the House; but tho gold provision was understood to accord with the views of the majority of both Houses, espe? cially as the sales of gold preceding the panic in tho London monej mar? ket were generally condemned by the anti-Administration papers and poli? ticians. The bill was intended to re? verse the policy of Secretary Mccul? loch, which was to keep gold at the level of about 30 per cent. Had he not soid gold freely,- it would have risen in price from 30 to 80 or a 100; and, besides that, the pressure upon American cotton bonds in England would have been so great as to compel them to stop payment of the bills drawn upon them against the ship? ment of cotton. Wide-spread bank? ruptcy in New York would havo been the consequence. But Congress and the anti-Admi? nistration bankers decided that gold must be hoarded, or at least must uot be sold at such time, and in such manner, and at such rates as would best promote the interests of com? merce, demoralize gold-funding and speculation, and repress the tendency existing towards increasing prices of all the necessaries of life. The Treasury has of late made no sales of gold, but the Secretary is free to pursue his own policy upon that subject, which will, no doubt, be very wise and prudent. He may sell gold if it accumulates to that extent that will causo scarcity and enhance prices; and he may sell it either in op?n market, or, as heretofore, through a banker. It seems that, in this state of things, a number of bankers and traders in New York, ombracing many of the trading firms connected with foreign trade, prefer the former policy j of Mr. McCnll?ch to that which Congress would have dictated to him, and have petitioned him to sell sur? plus gold once a week. They make the following representation, to wit: According to general belief, in which we participate, the sole ground for imposing duties upon imports payable in goid, was to pr?vido for the payment of the interest on the debt, and was not intended to con? vert the Treasury into a savings bank for the hoarding of gold coin, thus contributing to impede the legitimate course of business, and to reduce all commercial transactions to the basis of speculations in gold, as is the case at present. We, therefore, further respectfully submit to your consid? eration, as the most effectual means of chocking inordinate speculation, whether it would not be advisable to sell all your surplus gold at least once a week. We consider the rate of premium a matter of secondary importance. Gold at 150 means practically tho repudiation of all debts, public aud private, to the j extent of one-third of their wlule amount, and we do not deem it essen? tial to the dignity or well-being of the Covernment to benefit to any great exteut by that fact. Tho idea that gold should be re? tained and hoarded by the Govern? ment, as a means for prohibiting tho resumption of specie payment, is pressed in some quarters. This sug? gestion arises from opposition to the ouly practicable mode of returning to a specie standard, which is by a reduction of the paper currency. [National Intelligencer. A copper queen is better than no queen; and if tho collapse of the watering-place season without a sen? sation left "Jenkins" almost in n mood for suicide, the arrival of the Queen Dowager of the Sandwich Is? lands in New York has given him new life and spirits. It is true that she is "colored," but then the Caucasian type and color are passing out of fashion, and this excellent woman comes just in time for the ovations of tho opponents of the white man's convention, which is soon to Lo held in Philadelphia. It is true that the Polynesians aro not negroes- 'nit they have the look of tho genuine article, and "Emily, Queen of the Sandwich Islands," will do well enough until tho King of Dahomey comps over to reign over his loyal subjects. [Richmond Times. OFF WITH THF.II- HEADS.-Tho Prcsideut yesterday appointed Calvin E. Pratt, of Brooklyn, collector of internal revenue for tho third district of New York, in place of Mr. Bowen, publisher of the New York Indepen? dent, one of tho most intolerant and bigoted of tho radical sheets. Mr. Bowen and his friends in vain urged that the proprietor of thc paper should not bo held responsible for the seutimonts of tho editor. This little bit of sophistical refinement of argument was fully appreciated by tho President, who, by way of show? ing his estimate of it, straightway appointed Mr. Pratt. Henry M. Johnson has beeu appointed as col? lector of tho eighteenth district of Ohio-the Cleveland district-in place of Parsons, ono of the most un? scrupulous villifiers of tho President in the State of Ohio. Gen. T. J. Wood, commanding Department of tho Mississippi, has issued an order appointing Assistant Commissioners of tho Freedmen's Bureau for every County in tho State. AWAITTXO A D?LUOE.-Supersti? tion, nay? a paper of Presto?, Eng? land, is not eradicated in Accrington and Church. A report that some old woman, at Blackburn had prophesied tho world would be destroyed by a '/.flood of graters" on Monday last, obtained wide circulation. The know? ing ones laughed at tho idea, but there wero hundreds of women, old and yoong, who spent an anxious Sunday, and were very devout, pre? paring for the "last great day." At church, an old woman who keeps a small shop, was so impressed with the truthfulness of the prophecy, that sho actually ? removed her furniture and skop goods to tho highest hill near church, and remained there till Monday morning, when she came back, looking somewhat disappoint? ed that the flood had not drowned all her neighbors. AN INFAMOUS SENTIMENT.-In a speech at Springfield Illinois, a few days ago, Gen. Logan said: ' 'Thcro was but one way to treat with rebels. Tako thc torch iu ono hand and the sword in the other, and march to the music of thc Union, with the flag unfurled, and sweep over their territory. He had no sym? pathy for the leading traitors, no commiseration for them. He could forget no man who had lost his life, and who had been maimed iu this war for the Union, and he could for? give no mau who had fought against it. If elected to Congress, he would carly out what he had said. Ki could not forgive che South." THE WAT TO FIGHT CHOLERA. -Tho ; i Cincinnati Commercial says the dis- ; case is almost certainly susceptible of ! relief in its earliest stage. The way ! to fight cholera is to give instant at- I tention to premonitory diarrhoea, j Tho treatment of tho premonitory ? is simple enough-only be prompt, j Get a speeitic for the diarrhoea from j your family physician, and keep it always at tho elbow. A physician ; should bi> summoned at once, in case , of threatening symptoms, but tho j time spent in going for him is always I precious. Repose, also, is :ts essen- j tial to overcome looseness of tho I bowels as medicine. Take caro of I the diarrhoea. The Commissioner of Internal Re? venu^ has written the following re? specting the tax upon unction sales: "Prior to the date of the late. Act of July 13, 18G0, it was held that sales made by auctioneers, for judi? cial or executive officers, or for execu? tors and administrators, were liable to a tax in the same manner ns sales made for other persons. The law has been amended, and it is now held that tho sales of auctioneers made for or on account of the persons or officers above specified are not liable to tax since August 1, instant, tho time when the above Act takes effect." COTTON.-In an elaborate estimate in the New York Times, tho yield is put down at nearly one-half of that of 1860, except in Tennessee und Florida, the last being 100,000 bales, against 65,000 in I860, and in the former 125,000 bales, against 996,404 in 1860. by this calculation, flip es? timate makes out. a yield of 2,640,000, against 5,185,'.?25 bales in I860. All accounts that reach us from all quar? ters accord in thc fact that the land planted will fall considerably short of a full yield, while all know that the extent of ground planted is not one half of that tilled in 1860. A. II. Stuart wisely remarks, in his recent address before the University of Virginia, speaking ot" the large landed estates of Virginia: All this must now pass away. Large estates must be sub divided and sold. A hardy race of yeomanry will then till the soil with their own strong arms, will supplant the large landed pro? prietors. Land will be improved in productiveness and value, and the ! wealth of the country will be aug mented. Thrift and economy will be ! substituted for the lavish expenditure and wasteful profusion of the ancient j proprietors. Thc Petersburg Express says: lt is ! reported that the freedmen of Amelia County, Virginia, held a meeting in that County a dav or two since, and resolved to work no more for the whites; also, that they would counte? nance no negro who did. Wo do not kuow the canst! of this action. If the intelligence is true, we witness but another widening of the breach I between the two races. What if the whites refuse to rent their lands to the freedmen-tho}' will either be compelled to emigrate or starve. THE NEW ISOBTH CAROLINA CON? STITUTION. -Chief Justice Ruffin, of the Supreme Court of North Caro? lina, has decided against the lato "so called" State Convention and the Constitution "supposed" tobe framed by it. lie says: "I consider that there is no Consti? tution, because your Convention was not a legitimate Convention, and had no power to make a Constitution for us, cu to alter that which we Lad and have. ' Major-General John M. Palmer, nt his own request, has been relieved from duty as President of the Gene? ral Court Martial in Raleigh. The court remains in session, and will soon proceed to the trial of Lieut. Boens, A. A. Q. M., charged with misconduct ns an accounting officer, which ease has been sent to Raleigh for trial from Charleston, S. C. THE GRAIN CROP.-Tins New York Express says that the indications are that the cereal crops cf the West and the Middle States, soon about to bc, if not already in good part, harvest? ed, will be the most abundant on record. That is the substance of tho reports, which are coming- in to us from all quarters. With but a limited demand for exportation, we do not see how lower prices can be avoided a contingency which consumers now compelled to pay 814 and 815 per barrel for flour in .th? sea-board mar? kets must contemplate with delight. TRUE TO THE LAST. TA letter from ex-Gov. Harris, published in the Fayetteville Observer, says: "I hope and expect to make myself comfort? able here ere long, and expect to live and die in Mexico.

The Atlantic cable enterprise is represented by three capitals, each of .?000.000.

The accounts as to tho state of the. crops, received from all parts of Ire? land, are of the most favorable cha? racter. Cereals are well spokeu of, potatoes promise to afford an abun? dant yield, while there is little men? tion of any appearance of disease, and the crops generally are in a for? ward state. The intense heat expe? rienced in Dublin for some time past is also generally prevalent throughout the country. Straw trimmings are among the newest things iu fashion, as applied to dresses. Straw fringes, enriched with small jet or silver beads, are used to simulate tunics upon silk dresses, taking the place, in fact% of the goat's hair fringe.
