Our Pittsburg Correspondence. fm Bt Oman ae oo a Artful Dodges of the Wirepullers—The Check of the De- mocrats and Countercheck of the Whigs—Who is the Tallyrand of the Free Soilers?—The Relations between Seward and Hale—Commodore Stockton and Daniel Webster—A New Free Soil Organ-- The Ohio Delegates in a Funny Fix—The Penn- sylvania Ratlroad. ‘The democrats are chuckling at their viotory in getting Hale nominated for the Presidency by the Free Soil National Convention instead of Chase. ‘They played their cards more skilfully than the whigs, who are disconsolate because Chase did not et the nomination. Several democrats were sent as delegates to this convention upon free soil prin- ciples, who were all the time working underhand for Pierco, and, vice versa, several who professed to ‘be free soil democrats were laboring with all their might for Scott. The democrats, however, had the matter pretty much their owa way. Many of the leaders, like Jobn Van Buren and the Evenin; Post, go in for the spoils and Pierce. They worke hard before the convention met to put the free soilers on the wrong track, and had Hale puffed, and constantly kept before the public, and bad him talked of in private circles, so that when the unsuspecting delegates came to vote, Hale was the man uppermost in their minds; and in the absence of Dr Builey of the Washington £ra, who was expected to attend, and by whose judgment they would bave been guided, they fol- yrs their own impuises and voted for Hale. any of fhose who were frieudly to Scott voted for Hale, beeause they believed he was bitterly opposed to Pierce, aud that the nomination would be more damaging to him than to the whig candidate, and the democratic wire pullers encouraged this idea ‘Bhe plan in contemplation to neutralize the effect of this ruse, is to induce Hate to persist in declining the nomination, and as the free soil party cannot bo suceessful in returning their own men by this move- ment, they may succeed in demaging tho party who bas most damaged them, namely: the democrats, The free soil party consists more o! whigs than of demo- crats, and the whig papers and whig leaders, all along, wore unfriendly to the idea of this convention making any nominations at ali; because they knew that in the event of the free soilers all voting, the loas, in deaertions, would be greater to the whig than thedemocratic camp When the convention could not be prevented, the next thing that could be done was to nominate Chase; and unis, too, failing, the only alternative left was to keep Hale to his word in refusing the acceptance of the nomination, It is well known that he is completely under the ‘in- fluence of W. H. Seward, and that it was un- der his advice that he wrote the letter declin- ing the nomination, and there is every reason to believe that Seward will advise ‘him to persevere in declining. If Hale should follow that course, the party would be thus disorgani- ged for the presént, and there would be no free soil candidate at all, this is just the very thing the whigs want, for in that case they would get a greater proportion of the disjointed members of the party, anda oe quota of the scattered isms, than the democrats. Meantime, every effort is being made by the whigs to convince the free soilers that Scott ig atree soiler at bottom, or at all events far more friendly to the cause than Pierce. It is very evident from the tone of the convention, as well as from the private conversation of the members, that the great majority of them would prefer to see Scott clected rather than Pierce. A ¢ bumber would, of course, defeat both if they could, and elect a man more de- cidedly of their own stripe; but as a choice of evils they would take Scott in preference to Pierce. Some of the unsophisticated whigs feel annoyed ata speech made at the mass meeting by Colonel Haynes, who praised Pierce for his alleged anti- Catholic tendencies But these whigs take a shal- low view of that speech. The design of this inge- nious,device, and the tendency of it, evidently is to bring Pierce into disrepute with the Catholic popu- lation. It is, however, a two-edged sword, and it may help him with tho ‘‘no-popery” native party. All the free soilers reg: Seward as their real head, and they look forward to the day when they shall be strong enough to nominate him with a chance of success—perhaps in 1856—and when he be able to throw off the small portion of dis- Guise that prevents his standing forward to the world as a naked abolitionist. Many of the more sensible and shrewd of the free Boilers are incensed against Fred. Douglas, Gerrit Smith, and Lewis Tappan, whom they regard as marplots, on account of the violence of their senti- ments, and the impracticable nature of their Schemes. Though they agree with them in princi- ple, they don’t want to taik out so broadly in the presence of the press and the pallies and they fear that moderate mep, who were disposed to join them, will be repelled from their orgauization. “There is a considerable number of this heterogeneous, motley convention, who do not go for the abolition of slavery, but only for circumscribing it by free soil. The general Se area here is that Pierce will be elected, though there are some enthusiastic friends of Scott who are quite confident that he will win Pennsylvania As Chase is not nominated, Scott will probably lose Ohio. But if the agitation is broken up, and no free soil ticket brought before tbe people, there is no knowing what may be the reenit. There is no excitement here whatever, in reference to Scott or Pierce. The population appear perfectly indifferent about the result. It isa subject of con- stant remark, that there never was such apathy in Pennsylvania on the eve of a Presidential election. Tasve just learned that Commodore Stockton “was oniy prevented, with great difficulty, from coming out in favor of Scott, from cha; and disappointment at being thrown overboard by the National Democratic Convention; and in this con- nection. I may mention a very curious fact I have {earned, on pretty good authority, and that is, that Stockton calculated largely on Webster helping him to get the democratic nomination. have also learned that it is intended to start a new daily free soil paper in New York, the T'ribunc and Times, and Evening Post not coming up to the mark, Avery funny thing occurred here, in reference to the Obio delegates. They came rather late, and could not get beds anywhere. There were twenty- two of them. A wag tent the whole batch, includ. ing elders, and deacons. and clergymen, tq a house, whate ladies of easy virtue board, whie’) has been recently opened here, under the uppearance of a second or third class hote!, They actually went and asked if there wert, accommodations for them. “Yes,” replied the matron, ‘ but not for all togeth- er.” Some of them were then shown up stairs to bedrooms, and further deponent saith not. That was a great humbug that appeared in the papers, about the Pennsylvania Railroad directors allowing the delegates, to this convention, to travel at half price by their line. They charged full price. and, what is more, it is an atrocious bad road. Be- tween Philadelpbia and Harrisburg the cfrs tra- vel about fifteen miles an hour, which is nearly as fast as a smart horse would do it, and the cars are absolutely filthy and*filled with cockroaches. As for their jolting motion, it requires no ordinary strength to stand the fatigue. Persons of delicate frame are shaken almost to pieces. This hopeful company still retain the old stone sleepers, and the joinings of the rails are in some instances so far apart, andin others so uneven, that the wonder is the cars are not driven off the track every half hour; and so they would if they only ra oes The quantity rent this week by rau 07 ; for the week. road. 1,051 15. against 1 061 254 last year canal, 428.815 18, againet 3: tons last year. ‘The shipments this week show an inctcase of 2.928 tons y railroad. and 1.009 tons by canul—making an increase for the week of 4.846 tons. fhe demand for coal continues a little slack for the New York market, owing to the ab-ence of dealers.

In hat election a large number of whigs, thousands we believe, have been indifforent, or neutral, or voted for Reid. All thee, who com- prise @ large portion. of the talent and influence of the whig party, would have been working men and industriously ¢1 aged in promoting the election of Kerr, had not the South been insulted and degraded by the political devilment that nominated Scott. ‘The whigs have now the firat lesson on the Scott nomination, which we feared would not read so well as 7 expected and desired, and so we told the The second lesson on that nomination will. be read in November, and the honest whigs of North Carolina, who have permitted themselves to be de- ceived by the upholders of the Baltimore betrayal will see more clearly than they now do the politi i" pen of the leaders of the Scott foray against the rights, and interests, and honor of the South. False issues and unsound conclusions now have their influence over the minds of those who really wish well to the party and the country; but after the Scott ticket is defeated in North Carolina, they will more clearly discern what a cormorant set of spoils hunters and political aspirants we have in, as well as out of, the State. We did all we could, in our humble way, to avert the present crisis. Long before the Baltimore Con- vention, we expressed the opinion that if Scott were nominated the whig party would be put into a position ** past praying tor.” “And now we repeat the opinion, that apy hope of the cohesion of the disjointed parts at the South restsin defeat; there is hope in defeat, none in victory under Scott; for, in the Jatter case, the divisions of the pany will be irretrievably and hopelessly sectional, while the great mass of the democratic party will cohere as the national party. Is any whig angry at our sny- i Are we your ** enemy because we tell the = We hope, however, that one section of this verity will never be tested; we think it will not be, be- cause Scott cannot be elected, from present appear- anecs. But if he is not, the mischief is done by his nomination and the unwise adherence to it by Southern men. While we say there is no hope but in defeat, we do not think there is a very lively hope in that. Southern men are endeavoring to get up a furor and excitement in this election on grounds “as false as stairs ofsand.”” They profess to be bound by the decisions of a political convention, when they know, in truth, there is no obligation whatever, the Northern wing having repudiated the contract. They hurra for Scott, when they feel in their “Sheart of hearts” that the influences which generated and brought forth his nomination are deadly hostile to the rights and the peace and safety of the South, and the security of the Union. And they hold on their course in the vain hope that all will end in the triumph of partys not per- ceiving that jealousy and embittered hatred will grow out of the successful circumvention that gives a pee to Northern abolitionism and free soilism. The vile incendiaries who have poised their Jances under the honored name of the whig party, will not keep them in unemployed rest, when they have so high a sanction for the assault—so pure a party to press them on. But if the whig party alone were in reril, there would not be so much cause for grief and anxiety. Parties may scatter and again form: if under a new name, still the principles will be the same. But dis- comfitted nationality is transcendentally perilous; the lamp of freedom extinguished is not easily rekin- dled; nor cana household held long together by a community of interests and reciprocal regard, ever be renovated and re-organized in its pristine ‘excely lence. The men of this Union, estranged by the adverse elements now in the ascendant in the whig party, can never be reconciled az brethren, if these elements are permitted to do their fatal work. The Union may be outwardly preserved under a central power, strong in physical might, or in the still more odious appliances of corruption and bribery and fraud. We may present to the world the fruits of commercial enterprise, social grandeur and military glory. But no more the patriotic heart of this glo- rious Union—no more her pure and unadulterated mind. Thie, even this, is the best phase of the changes with which wearcthreatened.

(Frem the Charleston Mercury, (independent.) Aug,13.] It is admitted on all hands that in the first trial of strength, since the Presidential nominations, the whigsare badly beaten. Governor Reid iz re-elected by an increased majority. The National Intelligencer and the Republic, however, console their party by assurances that this election is no test—-that Scott will show a very different result, &e. We agree with them that this election is not a test; but for the reason that the whigs were nnited and worked heartily for their candidate for Governor, and that they will be divided, and but a portion, probably a small portion, will enter into the canvass for Scott with spirit and hope. According to all the indica- tions, General Scott has no chance of receiving the full whig vote of North Carolina, and, of course, no chance of carrying the State.

Mownay, August 16—6 P.M ‘The Farmers’ Benk of Kentucky havs opened books for subsoription for an additional cepital of two hundred thousand dollars, at the Hank of America. Already nearty one hundred thousand dollars have been takea by some of our largest capitalists, and there is no doubt but that the balance will be secured at once. This bank is paying ten per cent dividends, and siready has a surplus of $44,880—equal to six and ebaif per cent on its present capital, One of the Bank Commirdoners ia in the city, and may be seen at the office of Gibson. Stockwell & Co., No. 85 Pearlstreet. The last statement of the bank may ‘be seen at the Bank of America, where any information regarding the bank can be obtained. The Farmers Bank has been in operation only eighteen months, and its char- ter has thirteen years torun., Banking in Kentucky has, for many years past, been a very profitable business. The stock of the Bank of Kentucky is now selling at ten per cent premium, and the Northern Bank of Kentucky at seventeen per cont premium. The system of establishing branches, in different sections of the State, has worked admirably, and proves exceedingly productive. Qaotations for all the leading fancies were pretty wel, sustained at the first board to day. although the transac- tions were more limited tham usual. New Jersey Ziac declined %4 per cent.; Harlem, 34; Long Island, %. Delaware and Hudson, advanced % per cent, Nicaragua ‘Transit, 14. All others remain the same as previously quoted. Between the boards there was a better fecling ; in the street, business became quite active. At the second board. Erie Railroad advanced 4 per cent; Har- lem, 34 ; Stonington, 44; Hudson Railroad ‘{; Reading Railroad, 5;; New Jersey Zine, 14; Nicaragua, +{; Penn- fylvania coal. 34; St. Lawrence Mining Company, '; ; Northern Indiana Railroad. 34. At the close, the ten- dency was upward, with an active demand, ‘The rece'pts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $199,005 ; payments $17,182 21—balance, $5,625 567 91. The value of merchandise exported from Baltimore last week was $345,808. The exports of breadstuffs com- prise 12 076 bls. flour, 2.221 bbls. corn meal, 20 bbls. rye flour; tobacco, 4,425 hhds. The receipts of the Cheshire Railroad Company, for July, 1852, amounted to $27,461 21, against $18 691 21 for the same month in 1851. Increase, $8,770. We learn that in the formation of new banks inthis State, under the general banking law, a larger portion than usual of the securities are bonds and mortgages This, we suppose, is caused by the high prices current for the right kind of stock securities. Real estate is, at the present time, so much inflated in value, that the utmost caution should be exercised by the Comptroller in receiving bonds and mortgages as security for circula- ting notes. The Miners’ Journal says that the Cumberland coal used by the Cunard line of steamships, is usually screened, co that a large quantity of fine coal had accu- mulated in their yards at Brooklyn and Jersey City. In order to dispose of it most advantageonsly, the company sold it in small quantities, by which nearly every black- smith within one hundred miles of New York city ob- tained a portion. It was thus distributed in every direc- tion, and an opportunity afforded to test its excellence. So fully convinced of its superiority are all who thus employed it, that the demand for the fine coal from the Alleghany mines has become equal to that for the coarse and run of the mines. Welearn that the last link of eleven miles, between Greenville and Union, of the Cincinnati, Dayton and Greenville Railroad, will be in running order by the first of November, extending the line to Union, the terminus of the Bellefontaine road The latter road, we are inform- ed, is completed tothe Smithfield station, six miles, leaving but twenty-four miles of iron to lay, which is being rapidly put down, and will be completed by the time the Greenville cars reach Union.

The shipments of mer- ebandise for the second week in August were nearly two hundred thousand dollars tess than during the first week Lreadetoffs continue to form the bulk of our exports, as previously noticed, Cotton has, for some weeks past, been inactive, which is the cause of the limited value of our weekly exports. As soon as the new crop comes for- ward in larger quantities the shipments will increase, and the influence upon the movements of specie likely to be of the most favorable character. One vessel has sailed for Australia during the last week. She carried out but a «mali cargo, the value being less than five thousand dol- lars. Our foreign trade, at present, does not bear a very favorable aspect, and it will be some months before the balance wil be at all equalized. During the. month of August, our importations are usually large and our expor- tations usually emall. In about three months this will be reversed, when we shall rapidly liquidate any foreign balance which may accrue against us, Under existing circumstances, the shipments of specie to Europe are very small, Under date of the 2ist July, the directors of the Cum- berland Coal and Iron Company of Maryland made their first report to their shareholders. It will be found in our advertising columns, and will repay an attentive peruesl: This company was organized some months ago out of the fusion of a number of smaller corporations— proprietors of a large portion of the great Cumberland coul basin. Of its capital of $5,000 000, the company has still in its own possession $1,800,000 of stock, and owes no debt. In these days, so overrun with borrowing cor- porations, it is refreshing to contemplate a company of this magnitude, conducting its business without owing money, 6nd without apparently intending to create any debt. Its independent situation may partially account for s0.little having hitherto transpired about its affairs] This corporation, familiarly known in the Cumberland coal district as the “ monster company,” having got into ite own hand® all the property and legislative privileges it wants, seems in no hurry to make all its advantages known, or evento use them very energetically for its own benefit. The public, at apy rate those who buy Cumberland coal, can gather, from what is most care- enid in the directors’ report—and more from what is y left unsaid—that the company’s profits must le to warrant good dividends on this stock; but nder these circumstances, there is no immediate nerease in the mining and delivery of an article in demand and of great profit, is left unexplained, ‘The remembrance of the many disasters which have overtaken weak borrowing associations, from prematurely crowding this kind of business, may well cause some de- lay in developing mining property, until careful and long tried experiments have determined the most eaving ways of proceeding. But the cautious old merchanta and bonkers who sit in management of the Cumberland com- pany, ond their agents here andin Maryland, are mostly men Of long experlence in cowl, Before the furion of the old asrogiations, many of these parties had been for years profitebly engaged in this very Cumberland business— to that we are inclined to think the holding back of the directors arises not from want ef experience, but from rome protracted negotiations for securing from the car- rying companies even moré favorable terms for tolls and freight than they now have, or fot tnsuring greater cheap. ness or facility of working some other part of their ma- chinery, before augmenting their production of coal. It is also said that there is a scarcity of boats for freighting their cowl; but we should think with the surplus means of the compavy, and the known enterprice of boatbullders and workers, this scarcity would not long exist. At any rate, the directors, having the power to remedy this tem- poruty deficiency, at a cost much smaller than the Loss of profits which will ensue in one season from Inadequate forwarding facilities, cannot long excuse themselves, if they do not use the power and provide the boats them- selves, if the public attention bas not been suficlently turned to this quarter to impel tndividual enterprise into this channel, ‘The stock of the Cumberland Company has very ree 7 been introduced tuto the Brokers’ Board, It has Jolterly been welling te 00 to t; be aw why, | we believe the parties who il (he company’s affairs are the bo street at prices ranging from * | \ vned choy kaow (hole OFA LA | vingue a tewest, itis time the stockholders should learn theirs, also.
