EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY ........---.. October 31, 1857. THE WEEKLY STAR. On the outside of our Weekly of this date will be found one of the most powerfully writ- ten of Poe's weird stories, ‘* The Teill-tale Heart.’ The other outside matter consisting ef Tales, Humorous Sketches, Poetry, &c., is of exceeding interest. It has also the able letter of Senator Hunter, defining his position on the Kansas question. The inside has'some twelve columns of fresh Washington News and Gossip, together with ocal matters of interest, includ- ing reports of the Proceedings of the Virginia Synod during its Inte sittings in this city; the Proclamation of Governor Walker, and other matters in this connection, furnishing a com- plete exposition of the latest phase of the Kan- sas complication; details of the late foreign news, especially interesting as giving sane cinet history of the progress of the War in In- dia upto the Iatest dates; also, all current news of the week, at home and abroad, togeth- er with spicy personal paragraphs, items of brief mention, and all the thousand and one bits of things that go to make a readable first class family paper. Price as usual—3 cents for single numbers with or without wrappers, for mailing ; or $1.25 grave Spe Sn SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Intelligencer again argues in favor of the expedient of a -* great central regulator’? in the shape of a national bank for the establish- ment of a currency at once uniform and stable. The Union continues to discuss “‘ banks and banking.” Touching the statement of the New York Temes as to the appointment by the Brit- ish government of a special minister to nego- tiate a settlement of the remaining differences between Engiand and this country in regard to Central America affairs, the Union says : “If there 1s any foundation for this report, it is — that the mission of Sir William Onseley s to Central America, and not to the United States. though he might naturally desire to visit Washington on his way te his destination.” ~— se __ I> The bog cholera is killing swine by the hundred in Prince William county, Va.

There seems to be a general disposition in trade to shorten credit and get nearer the cash system, the only safe system for business. 7" We have received the first number of the ‘Southern Citizen,’ the new paper just started in Kroxville, Tenn., by John Mitchell. It makes a very neat appearance, and is, of course, edited with spirit. The Citizen bids fair to do yeoman service in the Democratic and Southern Rights cause. _—— Imrortast CommerctaL Movement.—New Kind of Remitiances.—It is said that many of the New York merchants, by the Preference of their correspondents abroad, received by the Per- sia large sums in the form of guarantied bank ac- ceptances or credits, something similar in their nature to what are known in this country as cer- tificates of deposit. Deatw or Gex. VaLextine Best.—General Valentine Best, who has long been well known in the political affairs in Pennsylvania as an active | democrat, died at Danville on Wednesday night Jast. General Best was for twenty-five years ed- itor of the Danville Intelligencer, was a member of the State Senate in 1545, 49 and ‘50, and was speaker of that body in the year 1550.

The Persia stopped her engines and fired rockets at Cape Race, but no vessel of the Associated Press was in sight. The steamer threw the news parcel overboard and kept on ber course announ- cing her news herself at New York.

Tae Prospect or tae Poor.—Thank God! south of Mason and Dixon’s line there will be ¢omparatively few discharges of working men and women this win usual at that season o! less, the discharges that place at the North are opem@@r ‘ mechanics of all descriptiamg in soareh of. em- ployment, which, We reges®to say, they, will not be able to find in this region.» Hundreds such were in Washington last week asking in vain for the means of earning an honest liveli- hood. It was enough to make the heart of a man of genial sympathies bleed to see them and heer theif accounts of their condition with the knowledge that the supply of workmen in all callings here among usis quite equal to any possible demand for their labor that can exist in the District of Columbia this winter. Of their condition and prospects in New York, and the duty of society towards them, the Triéune Says: What shall be done for the unemployed the coming winter? How shall they be saved, not only from difficulty in procuring food, but from actual suffering and semi-starvation? This is a momentous question that must be met. There ix no time tolose It is not over forty days before the commencement of a cold winter—a winter that must prove to many thousands in this city the most cheerless they have ever seen. Want of food and tiring will not be felt by the idle, beg- ging class so sorereey as by the honest, hard- working mechanics—indeed. by all who work for wages and who have been thrown out of em- ployment o; soon will be. What are these people fodo! Perhaps one-tenth of the number have a very small fund saved up, that by rigid economy will eke out existence till spring and hope come again. But what will the others do? he number of people now in this city who have been accustomed toa comfortable home and plenty of food, fire and clothing, who have no meaus to carry their families through the Winter without work and wages, isalimost inconceivable by those who have means, and fearful to contem- plate by those who must contribute to their sup- port. or see them starve. But how shall that contribution be made and applied? The wolf is already at the door, and the sooner he is met aad driven Se the better and easier it wiil be done. Wait till Winter’s famine makes bim yaunt and ravenous, and the task will be fearful. The men and women that are doomed to sutier need pres aid. Not that any yet are starving, but they are al.eady wasting their means If you doubt tt so to the shops of the pawn-brokers, watch who come there, and what they off-r to pledue, and above all, look at the little price ob- tained—for price it is, just as much as thouch it was an actual sale, since but a small portion of the pledges willever be redeemed by the owners. Not less than a million of dollars will be lost to those who ave driven to the necessity of pawn- ing their property fo buy fecd within the next six months, to say nothing of the fearful rate of interest that all must pay for bawnbrokers’ loans. The lezai rate is twenty-tive percent. perannum, 8 already taken ng to send hither uo more, for any sum for any time, ander heavy penaliies—ihat are never inflicted. The Jaw says the pawubzoker shall charge ouly twenty: cent., but he charves three per cent. a mouthnd does it openly. Indeed, he much oftener takes wifty per cent. pe annum than less, and not un- frequently two hundred per cent. ‘The law says wubroker shall sell the unredeemed pledg- he benefit ef the owner, at a fair public sule, after duly zdvertising what is to be sold, and pay the sucplus to the holde: of the pledge ticket This is neverdone. Just as soon as the year expires, the pewnbroker claims all aiticles as his own, coutiscating them without mercy, refusing to allow the owner to redeem. ‘Thus he often obtains valuable articles at a tithe of their cost. It is true he has no legal right to refuse re- di ‘tion as long as the property remains unsold; but what is leval right to a poor widow or sew- ing girl. once in the bands of a Shylock?) Anda host will inevitably fall into such hands, for all classes of workers, the largest proportion thrown out of employment by the revulsion are the sew- ing women. “Many of these women will be dri- ven to pawn every piece of dress or other prop- erty net absolutely necessary; and it is fightful to contemplate the pittance they will receive for the valuable articles ms parted with forever. Yet many of these poor creatures will doit rather than make their distress knowu in quarters whence relief might come. Now, what can the charitable do for the relief of such a class of their fellow-creatures, without debasing them? The best thing that can be done isto givethem work. There is but one way that those wanting work done can find those who have been thrown out of employment and are most in need of work, and that is, to hive a cent al point of bringing them together. If some benevolent individuals will join in the expense of opening an office. under the charge of some capabe wo- man, where every eve who could bring a good certificate from her late employer might come and register Ler name, and the kind of work she could do, it would enable auy one in want of such work to vive ker employmeit i rely sending @ note through the penny post. Is not this a feas- ible plan of giving the very best of relief? What benevolent tadies will take the thing in charge? We can name one establishment that has lately discharved three hundred f ithfal, houest Par Pear girls, of good character—aud we ioubt not that the names of three thousaud would be ed in within a week after such an office was oprne tised ‘Tere is another plan-of real charity and of ac- tuxl benetit to the poor—better than charity as usually given—and yet it will cost nothing’ ex- cept the use of capital. Let halfa dozen benevo- lent persous unite togetber and establish a mont de piete. like that of Paris Instead of giving money to be doled out in charity, let every per- son who is willing to give, instead of bestowing a doilar or two outright and without knowing what good it will do, putasum of money into the hands of t stees to be loaned out upon pledges of discharged workers, who can be well recommended as deserving, and who are likely to come to want without aid from the charitable Let these pledges be made at fair valuation with- out interest, or at most only enough to pay office expenses. In this way substantial relief can be given to many worthy families at no other cost than the interest of money advanced; and a mil- lion cf dollars worth of Property can be saved from a great maelstrom that already bas many a poor wretch in its never-ending whirl, It need not be sneeringly answered that this is simply setting upa pawn shop. If it is so, and it is hon- vstly conducted and offered only to the poor sew- ing-girls, now thrown sadden!y and anexpected- ly out of e:xnployment, it wil! save scores of tuen from such temptations ay human nature can hard- a resist. Who will do something to realize these plans, or any plan that promises to alle- viate the sufferings of the coining winter? Tae Movement or Gov Ligos, in calling out the military of Baltimore to prevent riots at the election in that city to come off on Wed- nesday next, we take it, will meet the approba- tion of all, of all parties, who desire that ruffian rowdyism shall be put down, wherever it may show its hideous forn:. It is very certain that the municipal civil authority is incompetent in that city to preserve the peace there on such occasions, and also at the same time to secure to all quiet and orderly citizens the unmotest- ed enjoyment of their political rights, without which the pretence of free government is a mere mockery. Ina case of this sort, it is wholly unnecessary to argue where the blame for the state of things in Baltimore justly rests. That it exists, is £0 patent as that none dispute the fact; while it is equally as well known that to hope for its abrogation in any other way than that which Governor Ligon proposes tu provide, is hopeless. We cannot believe it possible that the question of Poiitics will be permitted to enter into that as to the countenance and sup- port to be aecorded to Governor Ligon in his course, us all good citizens equally desire the restoration of the supremacy of the law in Bal- timore if through any cause, her reputable citizens should fail to be united in Support of his policy of repression, and it should fail of a happy re- sult on that account, the eltect of its failure must prove even more disastrous to the com- merce of the Monumental city than the outrages up to this time that have made it the absolute duty of the Governor to resort to such means.
