Tin; New York World says: The continued dullness of trade, the general decline iii pri?es, and thc curtailment. of manufacturing, ure beginniug to have a depressing iullu enco upon the standard of wages. Merchants, manufacturers aud other employers, are discouraged by the bu? siness prospect, aud, ns usual under such circuuistauces, they are inclined to seek for relief in the reduction of wages. This disposition is strength? ened, too, by a belief, or perhaps ra? ther a fear, that stormy times in the financial world are not far ahead. The wholesale merchants, for in? stance, are generally- cuttiug down their force of salesmen and other em? ployees, upon the presumption that next year's business will full furbelow that of the present. lu the matter of wages there is but little difference in this branch of trade between the salaries aud the arrangements for next year. Heads of departments have, in some cases, obtained ad? vances, but the general standard of wages in the wholesale trade hus but slightly lessened. A large number of stock clerks will be thrown out of em? ployment on the first of January; also a considerable number of entry clerks, porters, etc. It is in the manufactur? ing line, however, that the dull times are most keenly felt. A great many manufacturing concerns in this city aud throughout the country have lately suspended operations, others have curtailed their business, and others still have cut down the wages of their operatives. There is now a strong tendency toward lower wages in several branches of manufacturing, particulary in the cotton and woolen line. The employers in these branch? es, unmindful of the fortunes they m&do in "shoddy"' contracts during the war, are now inclined to turu their operatives out of employment, or else cut them down to un remuner? ative wages at tho first sign of hard times. It is our impression, however, crgjptt there is much unwarranted unea? siness among business men. It is true that trade is dull, and that pre? dictions of a financial revulsion ure rife. But wo have had just such predictions duriug the last five years, and we-see no tangible reason for gloomy apprehensions. At the same time, however, it is best for the work? ingmen to place themselves on the safe side by sticking- to their employ? ments wherever possible, and hus? banding their resources closely, re? membering that if the panic comes, prices of commodities will go down with a crash.-New York San. NEGKO SUFFHA GE.-The Nat iona Intelligencer says : It was stated repeatedly on the floor of the Senate, in the negro-suf? frage debate, that we must either pro? tect the negro or give him the ballot to protect himself. But even with the ballot, he cannot protect himsell against a hostile public sentimeut; and by forcing the ballot into his bauds, we but intensify the hostile feeling against him, and prepare for civil commotions throughout the South. Is it not the part of states? men so to legislate as to pave the way for the voluntary adoption of pro? posed reforms, rather than thrust them upon a reluctant people? As long as the Highland airs aud cos? tume were interdicted by Act of Par? liament, they were the badge of de? votion to the Stuarts, and were sacredly revered in many a Scottish home. The moment the interdict was removed, Scotland was free from dis? turbance. Negro suffrage voluntarily adopted by any Southern State can? not lead to mischief. Negro suffrage forced upon any white population in the South will breed commotion, hatred and bloodshed, as much be? cause it is forced agaiust their ren? dering of the Constitution as for any other reason. The location of thenew President? ial mansion has been determined on, it is said. The placo is about two miles North-west of Washington, and embraces grounds for a park. The land is valued at about $1,500 per aore. ? SP?CIAL NOTICES. SWEET OPOPOXAX FUOM MEXICO!

Annual Income over $3,250,000 ! 1,300 policies issued, and receipts over $300,000 last month. Over 13,000 policies issued tho past year-the largest number ever issued in a single year by any Life Iusur nnce Company in the United States. Iii tho year ending November 1, 18G5, its losses were fewer than those of any other Company, in proportion to the number of policies. (See Eleventh Annual Report of Massa? chusetts Insurance Commissioners, page 57.) In proportion to income, its per centage of expenditure was LOWER than that of any other Company. (See New York Insurance - Report, 1860.) Its sncr-css in doing the LARGEST BUSINESS with- tho FEWEST LOSSES and LEAST EXPENDI? TURE, enables it to pay its policy? holders an ANNUAL DIVIDEND of FIFTY PER CENT., with as good a prospect of increasing it as any other Company. The unparalleled success of the iEtna can only be accounted for by its admirable plan of transacting its business to suit the wants of the peo? ple, giving them policies at actual cost, embracing NEW and IMPOR? TANT FEATURES, which secure to them all the advantages that can be derived from a policy of Life Insur? ance. All who wish to avail themselves of the benefits of Life Insurance, should examine the .?Etna's plans for the same by calling upon any of its agents at their place of business. E. A.
