Btate stooks, or for United States sixes, would produce - at once an improvement of several per cent. Holders Generally are firm, and where they are held for invest- ment there are no inducements tosell. There is a great scarcity of safe stock investments in this eoun- ‘try, and capitalists experience considerable difficulty in finding satisfaeaory employment for their money in sueh securities. Uniess immediate and more profitable ‘wee for money ean be found, it would be folly to sell United States sixes at even the present high premium, 4 great differenee of opinion exists relative to the safety of certain investments, and what one man con- siders good, another considers good for nothing. This ie perhaps fortunate, for it gives many securities « position which they would otherwise fail to command, Where are people whe will not touch anything but fovernment stocks; others have faith in good Btate stocks; others in delinquent State stocks; others in repudiating Siate stocks. Railroad bonds have their friends among capitalists, and railroad stocks (as strange as it may seem.) are favorite investments with many. Some of the best seeurities in the list are, for eauses beyond our comprehension, depreciated in market vulue tos surprising extent; and it is most extraordinary to see stoeks, purely of a fancy order, and really worth mothing at all, selling duily at prices higher than those alluded to above. These are some et the imeonsistencies of stock operations, and show how little capitalists really kuow about what they @aily deal in. Allour good, sound, dividend paying securities, parti- eularly those of the Federal and State governments, must, as capital increares, appreciate in value, and be sought after for investment, There is no doubt but thet a revolution is going on in the rate of interest in this country. The probability is that the value of money here will approach much nearer to that of @reat Britain, as capital increases in both countries. ‘The rete of interest must be more equalized, Itis entirely out of the regular order of things connected ith fimancial effairs, that money should be worth but one-and-a-half per cent, per annum, in London, and five wer perannum, in NewYork. There must be a greatér uniformity in value, and it is probable that there will be ap approach to a standard in both coun- tries—that it will advance slightly in London, and de- preciate in value in New York. There is at this mo- ment a very large amount of foreign capital invested in our local securities, and employed by the agents of English and other houses, in any safe manner to rea- tlize six and seven per cent interest. Alarge portion of this amount is the proceeds of foreign merchandise sold in this market, which has been left here, instead of be- ing remitted to owners abroad. Money isa complete @rug in London, and throughout Great Britain, Any amount of capital could be obtained at the latest dates, there, at one-and-a-half to two per cent per annum, and there is, therefore, no indueement to make re- |" mittances from this market, where it can with judi- ious management command five and six per cent, If this state of things continues long, all our public stocks, which have @ fixed rate of interest payable on them, must command much higher prices than those ‘now eurrent, to make them correspond in productive- ness with temporary investments of capital, and to keep pace with the steady depreciation going on in the market vs!ue of money. ve ee ADVERTISEMENTS RENEWED EVERY DAY.

The Late Elections—Singwlar Results of the Kil- kenny Cat Fights in Bissowri—Curious Posi- tion of Old Bullion—Mr. Atchison’s Resolution Inquiring inte the Cost of Fremont’s Reports— Curious Facts—Exploration of the Colorado Country—Politscs of the Day. WThe late clections in,several of the States, de- velope some curious results. The city of Boston has sustained the conservative policy of Mr. Web- ster, in returning to Congress a gentleman of the same views. North Carolina, on the other hand, has revolutionized herself on the slavery question ; and from a neutral position, stands out, in the elec- tion of the Governor, a confederate of the South. But the most singular political contest since the split between the New York hunkers and barn- burners upon Gen. Cass, has been the Kilkenny cat fight between the democratic “ hards” and ‘softs’—the Bentonites and anti-Bentonites, of Missouri. They are both, for the time being, de- royed by each other; and as far as known, the lit makes an opening for a whig Senator from isgouri, in the place of Mr, Benton and his thirty years inheritance of a chair in the Senate. Bu Bullion is not the man to abandon the field. By some, it was supposed that he would re- move his headquarters forthwith to California—re- onganine the political fabric of that commonwealth, and in good time return to the Senate from that State, as the great Senatorial dictator from the a ic. But such, we understand, is not the game. We are informed by a distinguished gentleman of St. Louis, that Col. Benton has given notice, or caused notice to be given, that two years hence he will be in the field as a candidate for the House of Repre- sentatives, and for the Speakership, at that; and that as far as possible, kis name for Speaker is to be made the test in all the Congressional electious for that Congress. Of course, such an issue will have some incidental pearing upon the Presidency, and among the freesoilors of the Northern States will have a rst influence over the Congressional elections. Nous verrons. In the meantime, it would appear that the con- test between the Benton men and the anti-Benton men of the Senate is not yet ended, until the elec- tion of a Senator to fill the new term from Mis- souri from the 4th March next. Mr. Atchison having declared to the people of Missouri his determination to prostrate his col- league, has made a movement in the Senate to-day, with a vi of completing the work. He has of- fered a resolution, requiring of the Secretary to report the amount of money voted from the con- tingent fund of the Senate for book», pamphlets, reports, maps and charts, since the year Ii 3 The t was date discloses the object of the inquiry. not until that year that the reports of the explora- tions of Colonel Fremont began to be printed, and since that time those explorations have result- ed in animmense amount of printing, including plates and maps, probably involving ‘drafts upon the Senate contingent fund, including the Fre- mont court martial report, of at least ‘io0 000. It is a plausible inference that the ol is of Mr. Atchison is to lay before the Missouri Legislature, at the next session,,the cost of Colonel Fremont to the government, and the consequent advan of being relieved of the head of the family. If such is the object of the resolution, we think it is The expense of Colonel Fremont’s ns is absolutely nothing te the advan- tages and benefit which they have conferred upon the government, the American people, the world, and the cause of science. They have made plain a hitherto unknown region of the continent, as mysterious to geographers as the heart of Africa. It was Fremont that opened the way to Califor- and . np the war on the Pacific coast, which ended in the acquisition of California. Nearly the whole of our geographical information of that country is from Colonel Fremont, and the posses- sion of the country iteelf, is probably due to his accidental presence in the country, with his explor- a, ¢ party, on the breaking out of the Mexican war. ut that time an Irish Catholic priest, of the neme of Macnamara, was negotiatin, Mexican government for the cession of C to hi ing it with Iris! Catholics, under cover of a B ship of the line, at San Francisco. The jealousy of the Cali- fornia Mexicans led them, before they had any knowledge of our war Mexico, to attempt the expulsion of Fremont and his exploring party from California. The result was a war upon his own hook, aided by volunteer Americans in the country, which ,prostrated the negotiations of Macnamara, and ended in our possession of the golden land. ‘This view of the services of Fremont is affirm- ed in his election to the Senate from California. It was the knowledge of his services that secured his election, and we apprehend that any attempt to disparage them by the costs of the printing of his expensive report, so far from operating to the disadvantage of Benton, will rather tend to his be- nefit, if anything can possibly benefit him in a le- ture with about two-thirds majority against im. We think it is te be regretted that the expense of another intended expleration of Fremont has not been added to the bill of his printing expenses. It was his intention till swam; among the snows of the lofty Sierra de los Mimbres, back of New Mexico, to cross the continent in that direction, to California—to explore the unknown valley of the aroha se and the unknown country west of it, ‘tween that mysterious rives and the Pacific moun- tains. Such an exploration would have given us all the required information ef a region still unex- plored and unk»own, embracing an area of 200,000 square miles. It will be the duty of the Mexican Moundary Commission, when they arrive on the Gila river, within striking distance of the Colorado, to detail a detachment up that river, and disclose its mys$ terious dirkness to the light of day. We learn from that adventurous tribe of the mountaineers, known as trappers, that the Col- orado is a river of singular wil and sub- limity, flowing at intervals, for many miles, through dark chasms, or can between per- pendicular walls of basaltic ka, walled in intervals, 2 by lofty mouptains—that again. the mountains recede, and fertile valleys open out to the sun, inhabited by semi-civilized ladian tribes, possessed of numerous flecks and herds, and living in good houses, and competent to de- fend themselves against the incursions of the Utahs or Apaches—that at least one of these tribes are Albinos, or white Indians, whiter than Kuropeans or their decendants, and retaining still the religious rites and civil sof the Aztecs, the ruins of whose ancient habitations still mark the available spaces along the desert valley of the Gila. We hear, in, of mighty ru mong the woods of the Colorado and its tributaries—ruins sorme- what similar to those tremendous piles of an extinet people in Yucatan and Central America. But all our information of the Colorado is from the traditionary accounts of trappers, or the confused and unintelligible jargon of the wandering Apaches. Mr. Calhoun, Indian Agent at Santa Fe, who lately crossed the mountains in that di- rection with Col. Washington, on an Indian hunt, gives official information of many fine valleys over there, and of the numerous flocks and herds of the Navajos, and their splendid horses. While we regret, therefore, the failure of Fremont’s last expedition, we may expect a full revelation of the mysteries of the Colorado country by the Mexican Boundary Commission, and probably a new field for the founding of a new State in t unknown region. But we have insensibly wandered away from the main question—the results of the late elections. Upon the whole, they disclose no remarkable ch of footing between the two great parties of the The issues of the slavery question, still nding before Con) have yet to be reflected ck from the people. However they may be set- tled, the settlement must efleet some important changes in the parties ts they stand. We have not mucl 4 it either party, at the next election, will be able to run @ national candidate; but that sectional feelings, so far from being pacified, will lead to the nomination of sectional candidates on both sides, so that we shall probably have five or six candidates in the field in 1862. We ansume, in all this, that the South will sub- mit, that the bills before the House wili pass, that Congress will close up the slavery business, and thatthe Union will stand. But Southern extremists affect to doubt it. They speak oe | of J States; other Presidential election for the U but all the time, the movements of all parties, North and South, are founded upon their ednetee of the election of 1852, and the chances of the spoils. The patronage of the federal government is wtll stronger than the temptations to dissolution. Wasniveton, August 22, 1950.

They say that Mr. Con- C tad contemplates inting Mr. i, a New York py the ‘thief clerkship of the War Department, in place of Anderson, whig, re- moved; because, Yat, Mr. Campbell was chief clerk under Secretary rey, and therefore is experi- enerd; 2d, beeause he graduated at West Point, at the public expenee; and 3d, because General Scott recommenda hirn ‘They say that Mr. Corwin has made but three Sceretary of the Treagery, two were rabid democtats. nang of The that Mr. Preston, as Secretary ef the uo, WR lps fey geo ets prin oom raleaaa enatiien no one of Cu rted to make way for @ rious whig and friend of the administration. They say that Mr Hall, the new Postmaster Generab clares that Mr Collamer all the ‘als in the department necessary to made, and that he cannot, himself, think of removing ¢x- perienced chiefs of bureaus and chief olerks, evem though they may be wealthy democrats, and their places may be wanted by meritorious and talented say that Mr. McKennan, the new Seereta- ry of the Interior, will be obliged, under the law, to remove some twenty-five temporary clerks, most- ly whigs, at the adjournment of Coi and that 'y see no present evidence that any of the many democrat ws § ts in that department are to be ré- moved. These things they say—and they keep on saying them in the bitterness of ish. Why is it! alas? why is it? they ask, that the moment whivs are placed in high offices, they at once fall in love with democrats, and act as if they were satisfied that the whigs were physicaily, mor: and intellectu- ally disqualified from the jing and re- ible clerkships in the executive departments. indeed mortifying and humiliating to the whigs everywhere, ‘o retlvct that whenever their leading men get elevated to power, they forthwith become convinced that they cannot carry en the aflairs of the government without the co- qs) of locofecos—political adversaries—in most of the leading oflices under them. Have the whigs of the country come to this, that they cannot do the duties of the principal clerkships in the exeeutive departments, as correctly and efficiently as loco- focos ? Hasit come ‘o this, that the head men of the whig party—those holding cabinet stations—ac- knowledge before the world this important defect rvading all the resi of the whig party? [And as it come to thisat last] If so, would it not be wise for the rank file—the bone and sinew, of the whig party, the ins and outs, the plain, com- mon-sense whi [who don’t care a copper for the whole batch of office beggars] to advance none but locofocos to the highest offices of the government?

[This is the hormble condition we are now in.} But they will soon have errmagintn press their complaint. I have authority [whie! hee never yet deceived me,] for declaring that the members of the new cabmet will not continue the system of political suicide commenced by their predecessors. They will cull to their aid and co- operation their friends, [the happy fellows!) and relieve their adversaries, in a great many instances, from the important and responsible positions they now hold, as they held them under the administra- tion of Mr. Polk. [The poor locos !] The work will be done, though not so soon as it ought to be done. “If ‘twere done, when tis done, Then ’twere well ’tw ce done quickly.” The longer the work is delayed, the more re- luctance will the secretaries feel to execute it.

Senator Douglass, ‘the Young Giant of the West,” has more common sense, tact, and shrewdness, as a politician, than any half dozen wi! perhaps, who have recently filled high offices of the government. He, yester- day, went te the Post Otlice Department, to get a new post office established in Lilinois. The man he recommended for postmaster, he frankly stated, was a democrat. The fact was, he said, there were none but democrats in the viciauge.

Southern Pamphlet on the Preservation of the Union —Interesting Statistics on the Taryf—Heavy Drainage upon the South— Movements upon the Tariff Question, North and South—Fresh Sub- ject of Agitation. We have received an ably written pelitical pamphlet, entitled “ The Union, Past and Future. How it Works, and How to Save It. By a citizen of Virginia.” From the ability with which it is written, from the great labor evidently bestowed upon the statis- ties, and from the strong pervading Southern see~ tional coloring of the document, and the close sys- tematic style of the argument, we presume thatthe writer is none other than the Lon. R. M. Y. Hun- ter, one of the Senators from Virginia. The writer comp! 1. Of the inequality of the representation of the two sections in Congress. 2. Of the Northern conspiracies for running off fugitive slaves. . Of the proposed admission of California, and the legislation for the territories for the exclusion of the South, completely destroying the balance of power. , 4. Of the inequality of the taxation and the bur- dens of the government, between the North aad the South. But the bedy of the pamphlet is directed to the commercial questions invo'ved in the argument. branch of the subject, a great amount of research is bestowed, to show the value of the Union te the North, and the drainage which it makes upon the South. The writer says:— In the eleven years from 1780 to 1800 inclusive, the exports of raw cotton, rice, and leaf tobacco, amount ed to ninety six millions, (we use bers )out of three hundred and eleven millions of dollars Of balance, the South produced one hundred and four Southern i .
