In fact, the genoral principle of joint stock has recoived & sovoro blow in the last fow months from the mismnnagement and frauds in connection with railroads, banks, otc., oto.

It hns demonetrated that the trado of tho olty ia the legitimato interchange of tho products” of tho Northwest for the manufgoturod goods of the East, and that groat firos cannot diyert it, mor financial panics extingulsh it. It has shown that tho financial business of Chicago is on & goundor basis than that of any othor city in the United States, ns is provon by tho fact that tho banks of this city aro the only ones of any l”(Fu city that are now I‘Elylng in full on domand, This foot alono is already bringing to tho banks of this city the vast colloction-businoss of tho manufacturing cities, Msnufacturers in Piiteburgh, Philadelphis, and Boston, will sond thoir colloctions on_ 'the Wostorn Btatos hero, instend of to St. Louls or Cincinnati, Thoir noxt move will be to establish their qlrmuipnl agoncios for the salo of gaods hore, and, finally, to establish branch manufactorion hora, Thus, tke manner in which Obieago has gono through this panic will rosult in bringing us more money and moro trade,which will necosgnrily result in & more rapid incronsa of population, and the stendy incroase of real cstato values, TIE NORTHWESTERN SHOPS, ‘Within » month or two the Chicngo & North- ‘western Railroad Company will sot 800 mochanics to work in their now shops, in Sec. 10, just weat of Central Park.
