The following lettor from Fort Laramie, dated September 15, is from a correspondent of the St. Louis}epublican :— ‘The wail from the States, in charge of Mr. Burr, arrived on the morning of the 1th, making the best time on record. Mr. HF. Mayer arrived in the mail, from whom we learn that at the Twenty-second mile point, this side of Fort Kearny, they met Sir. Davis and party,’ consisting of xteen men, one woman and a boy, returning from Califor- ia They sti ou that two nights previous, while encamped Fallon’s Bluil, they were attacked about dark by some fifty Indians, who drove off all their mules and horses ; they left one man, the woman and boy in camp, and started in pursuit.’ After crossing the Platte, and going about eight miles in the Bluffs, they came upon them #0 quietly that they secured their own animal: bofore they were discovered, when the Indians desamped ; three of them remained’ to get their horses, and were, together with their horser, taken by the Californians.” Finding these Indians to be too troublesome and dangerous, the: let them go, retaining the chief and the horses, which they had when met by the mail. The Indians had collected here in large numbers, for the purpose of receiving their presents; they refused at first to sign the treaty as modified by the United States ment, but finally, after much talk, signed, so that now settled, and they will this’ day receive the good Major Fitzpatrick, the agent for the Sioux, deserves much credit for the able manner in which he conducted this last, and, wo hope, final step with this discontented tribe. The Salt Lake mail arrived yesterday. From one of the passengers we learn that, upon the affidavits of some of the emigrants, Mr. Bridger, of Fort Bridger, had told them that he intended to give the Utah Indians guns and ammunition for the purpose of exterminating the Mor- mons at Salt Lake, Writs were isuol to take Bridger une bring him to Salt Lake, anda company of men were sent for that purpose. When they arrived they found Bridger gone. They tock possession of all the arma, am- munition, and everything else, and were still there when the mail passed. Te is alve ruurowed that tha Marmanc have bea= a:at culty with the settlers at Green River, and in endeavoring to take a man who would not surrender, they killed him. This, however, is nothing but rumor, und I do not know its correctness. Powell’s Picture—De Soto. TO THS EDITOR OF THE HERALD. It is a very gratifying thing, in the midst of almost unan- imous approval of this painting, that wo have among us one critic sufficiently gifted to see the beams in the eyes of all his editorial brethren, as well as being gifted with knowledge and judgment of practical art, sufficient to combine in himself the double character of connoisseur an (critic, This islolated and enviable individual has fu aished that well edited, and very readable journal, the S.nday Courier, with the ultimatum upon the sub- ject, in these words.—‘The picture, now, has noth- ing whatever to recommend it, its subject is in- serutable, in all its groupings, details, sentiment and color—it is. to say the least, extremely deficient.” In addition to finding all these things out, whidh the rest of the community have failed to do, the same as- tute and discriminating critic and connoisseur has been unfortunate enough not to see, what everybody has easily been able to do—namely, to discover its nationality. It is the misfortune of great telescopes and great philanthro- pists not to be able to discern objects distinctly unless se- parated from them by great distance, and it is difficult to just the speculum to that happy medium betweon that dase no inttrument manufactered for fir John Herschel by Richard Asams locke, and the minute observation of e microscope. Mackintosh was quaint enough to re- mark of Wordsworth, in reply to those who called the late jaureate ‘‘s small man,” that it was probably owing to the fact that ‘he strode so far before them that he dwin- dled in the distance.” But such cannot be the objection in this case, for the modest connoisseur and critic generously informs us that ‘we are too much accustomed to geod works of art in New York to have auch paintings as this national one of Mr. Powell exhibited to us. opine from this that he must have vitited the Dusseldorf Gallery with Mrs. Poti- pher, or whoever it is that is mentioned in the article upon “Our best. Society,” or, “Our New Livery,’” who thought it must have taken Mr. Dusseldorf a great while to‘ paint all of those pictures." Our w ted and acute critie-artist doos not descend to the retail business of saying what is objectionable, bat mollitur manva imposuit lets {t gently down to wholesale perdition “asa companion for the other poor thiogs in the rotunda.of the Capitol.” Of those wbo are dead, that undertook to adorn the Hails of Congress, we suppose there is no way of rapping them over the knuckles, except throvgh ‘the medlumof the spiritual knockers,’ but for the unfortunate gentlemen, Messrs. Weir, Chapman and Powell, who have thus had their existence made misera- ble forever, and their names blotted out from the scroll of fame by the pen of this powerful critic, we can but chaunt for them a misirere. It is lamentably sad, as the eritie connoisseur informs us, that “De Soto stumbled upon the Missiseippi three hundred years ago, a long time before our ancest rs came over to America. ' He was a Spaniard, and had nothing whatever to do with us beyond the circumstance of hav ing conquered from the Indias a pertion of the territory which we afterward# gained by purchase.’ Now, these are unanswerable truths, for if Christopher Columbus and De Soto had remained to this day in Spain; they might have compover with Captain West, or in any one of the Collins lin, in much less time, for lens money, and far more pleasantly, together with finding “Natchez uader the hill” provided with an excollent steam forry boat and a quantity of Cincinnati pork and Kentucky which would have been found very refreshing to nturers. We are very sorry to see that Messrs, Columbus, De Soto, Captain Jobn'Smith and the Pilgrims, were foreigners. It they bad waited until this writing, our friends Maxwell and Rice, of the Superior Court clerk’s office, could have naturalized them as eusily as Martin Kosets. Or, if they lind been artists, they would have found that their being born outside of this continent, and in Europe, would have been a great blessing at thin day to them, As now to be afcreigner is a strong objection toa discoverer, but an im- mense merit to a painter, OCUIDE: The Art Unton.

New York, Sept. 1, 1853. Sim:—Referring to my letter of the 9th gust, from Bremen, I have now the honor to enclose my return of fees at the on Consulate from the Ist of July to the 7th of August, the day before I retired. by cessor consul, Hildebrand, showed me your dis- patch of the 22d of July, in which you censure me for granting certificates to marriage contrasts made by emi- grants, and keepi: he Department of State in ignorance of the same. I must protest against this act of injustice; | ‘ou condemn without investigation into the matter, which am sure would have induced you to commend those asta, It was absolutely necessary for the expedi/eurs of emi- grants to meet a requisition of the New York authorities, who refused to take commutation money for women with children, unless accompanied by their husbands, re- quired, in all such cases, bonds of $300 for each woman and each child. In addition to this, the difficulties in Germany thrown in the way of matriinony, induce large numbers to live together as man and wife, and to have families, without any tie or contract. Thus the expe- diteurs of emigrants at Bremen were compelled to see that the wom whom they forwa:ded had a hus- the Bremen government re- fused to marry the ing that some day they might return from the United States as paupers, and be forced upon them by their native country to be supported—the only remedy satisfactory to the New York authorities was to file a contract of marriage in the United States con- sulate, to be confirmed on arrival in the United States. You have on file, in the Department of State, my letter to Secretary Webster of the :8th of March, 1851, in which 1 stated :—‘ At present, application is) made te the Senate of Bremen to authorize such marriages ; if 1 ot permitted, the parties may be satisfied by tiling in this consulate their intention to emigrate as man and wife, with « promise to have the act confirmed on arrival in the United States.” The Bremen gov srnment in reply re- fused to authorize such marriages as full and Teall but had no odjections to such marriages by the Consul, if valid for the United States, on condition ‘that no clergy- man in Bremen should be employed. My semi-annual returns ever since have exhibited a large amount of fees from this source, and for the past twelve months fully one-third of the income of the con- sulate. How, then, can | be charged with keeping the de- partment in ignorarce of such proceedings ? The Bremen minister, Mr. sehlieden, knew full well the necessity which existed for this step,’ as I had conrersed with him upon the subject before his departure for Wash- ington, and he did not differ from me in considering it as more respectable and moral for the emigrants to file a contract of marriage before witnesses, when emigrating to their new home, than to live together as formerly in a state of concubinage, so common in many parts of Ger muny. If Mr. Schleiden thinks that it leads to ‘“ demoraliza- tion and licentiousness,” what does ke say to the govern- ment of Bremen authorizing their magistrate at Hremer- haven, the shipping port, Amtman Groning, te certify to similar contracts ax fied by the United States Consul, with this only difference, that he required the act to be confirmed betore a clergyman ‘n the United States, while the consul required it to be beiore any legal authority in the United States? Submittiog to, you iucse facts, I shall appeal to your own sense of justice, trusting you will soon favor me with a communication removing all censure.

The clearing house, as at present organized, is defective, and wil haye to be remodeled throughout. It is too com plicated, and produces a great deal of confusion, ‘The suspension of Simeon Draper has created a great deal of excitement in Wall street, and in the minds of those familiar with the rise, progress, and result of the speculative mania previous to 1837, has produced appre- hensions of the most alarming character. We see in the future events of the most startling nature, and those who are prepared for the approaching crisis may be thank/ul that they are so fortunate, Very few have foreseen the proximity of the collapse which is likely to be so wide spread and disastrous, It may be even more general than that of 1837, and perhaps in the same proportion that credit of 1853 bears to that which existed sixteen years since. We cannot by comparison of data, form # very correct opinion of the position of things in the finan: cial world in 1863, compared with that of 1837. Specu- lation is now vastly extended and expanded, and the ramifications of the credit system are innumerable and already beyond control. We caanot trace them through all their sources, but will recur to some of the most im- jortant moyements of the last twelve or fifteen years, Iu 1887, the banks and individuals were i mensely expanded, The lines of discount in banks, in every aection of the Union, had ina few years run up from $524,119,499 in 1834, to $626,115,702 in 1837—an increase of more than two hundred millions of dollars n three years. This rapid increase in bank credit caused A corresponding credit between individuals of a different character, inflated prices for every species of porperty, created an immense number of bonds and mortgages, and built up, in fact, ene of the most stupendous systems of credit,upon a weaker basis than ever before realized in any country. After a few years of progress at this rate, when every one was under full heacway, and commercial paper was floating about the market in immense masses, the community was panic struck one fine morning by the announcement that the banking house of J. L. and 8. Jo- sephs & Co, had suspended payment. To allay the ex- citement, or porhaps in accordance with their belief at the time, it was reported that the suspension was only temporary, and that ina few days the house would re- sume payment, and all would go on comfortably as usual. This delusion lasted but a very short time. Tho next twenty-four hours told » tale that spread terrer through the land, and the cry was ‘ Sauve que peut.” Ruin stared every one in the face, and houses of long s’anding and reputed wealth disappeared like magic, leaving in many instances not even a wreck behind. All classes were panic struck, and no one seemed to possess the power to extricate himself from the impending blow. In a few days confidence was among the things that were. It was utterly out of the question to raise money, and every one was thrown immediately upon his own resources. Dozens of failures occurred daily, and the list in a few weeks became frightfully extended. The banks went down amidst the general crash, and shin plasters, in the shape of bank promises and individual promises to pay at convenience, formed the currency of the country. Specie was only known as having once existed. The sight of gold or aver was @ wonder. The state of thinge that fol lowed this convulsion must be atill fresh in the memories of those who passed through those times. It will never be erased from ours, Complete prostration was the effect of such an enormous artificial extension, Frem one @: treme to the other was the course of things, and for years every interest was dormant. The country merely existed— it made no progress, To get eneugh to eat and drink was about all any one expected. After about three years of such inactivity and distress, an effort was wanda to revive business; and after a period of feeble, sickly action, with no indication of permanent strength, it failed, and the community were plunged into still deeper depths of doubt and despair. It was a relapse, and but for the want of material in the body commereial to work upon it, would have been full as fatal as the first attack. In the year 1841—four years after the original crash—the very lowest depths were reached. There was not an important interest in the country—but that was struggling along, uncertain whether it would survive from week to week. Upwards of two hundred millions of bank credit had disappeared, and perhaps five times that amount of individual credit had been extinguished, wiped out, as with a sponge, without the first dollar exchanged in liquidation. The general bankrupt law at that time eame to the aid of the hosts of bankrupts, and destroyed all claims standing against them. That having been pretty effectually performed, and there being nothing left to risk, the community gradually emerged from {he chaos and confusion of such a lengthened period of dis- aster, and once more there were favorable indications of returning health. At first the progress was slew, but sure. The past experience had been too recent and too bitter to be lost sight of, and the utmost caution was exercised by all classes. In December, 1842, 8 new: tariff act commenced opera- tions, the Compromise Act having expired m the month of June the same year. That tariff was highly protective, which restricted importations and served as a check upon that branch of our foreign trade. The currency at the time was also upon @ pretty sound basis. In 1845, the circulation of all the banks was $89,608,711, and the spe- cie on hand $44,241,242; whereas in 1937 the circulation was $149,185,800, and the specie on hand $37,915,340, This acting as a check upon importations, served to prevent too rapid an expansion, and the for- ward movement was strong and steady up to 1846. The importations continued limited, the banks extended their discounts gradually, and speculation was by no means prominent ia any article. All this was healthy and legi- timate, and the future looked encouraging. In 1846, ano- ther change was made in the tariff; the protective fea- tures of the act ef 1842 were abandoned, and a revenue standard, or what was at the time considered a revenue standard, was adopted, under the ad valorem system. Soon after that act commenced operations, the discovery of goldin California was announce, and the world was instantly filled with the most intense excitement. The public mind was for a time occupied with all sorts of ape- culations relative to the effect of such immense acquisi- tions to the supply of precious metals, and epinions dif- fered widely upon the subject. Financiers and capitalists were pretty equally divided upon the extreme points at issue; and commissioners employed by the government of France to investigate the matter, reported just the con- trary to the views expressed by the commissioners of the government of Great Britain. Our epinions re- main precisely the same as expressed at that time. Circumstaucos have strengthened and confirmed them. We predicted an increase in the value of money, &n increasing demand for all purposes, an increase in the value of all kinds of property, in wages for all branches of industry,and a general expansion of credits far beyond any limit justified by the production of gold in California, or any other part of the world. It way at that time our impression that the enterprise of our people, particularly, would extend itself so much faster than the basis upon which the necessa- ry credits would have to rest, would warrant, that ultimately there would be a reaction aud a collapse, which weuld confound the community and shake the commercial world to its very centre. Our experience had long before satisfied us that it was utterly impossible to restrain the expansion of credit, when the Dacis, at the start, was solid and substantial. The even structure is annually piled up ao rapidly and to such sn extent that its foundation invariably, sooner or later gives way, and when it does the crush must be in propor- tion to the magnitude o! the fabrie, Since 1847, at least two hundred millions of gold have | been added to the world’s previous supply of that metal, it has passed principally into the channels of commerce ' and inte the hands of the people. We find, notwithstand- | ing Uhis enormous product of gold, very little increase in the vaults of our banks, and in those of Great Britain. The bulk of it is in active circulation, or hoarded in private bands, The oasis of public credits has not, there- fore, so steadily increased as anticipated, and confidence has for a long time been sustained upon an imaginative foundation. The impetus given to enterprise by the | facilities so easily manufactured, called for the aid of { means not previously contemplated. Ia 1836 and 1836 credits were confined te ordinary channols. Real eatate was operated in largely at high prices, but speculation was not much extended into our great staple products. Prices for every thing were inflated beyond precedent, and extra- vagance appeared in all things. In 1847 there ¢ »mmenced fa nystem of credits different from any ever before tnoug at of on this side of the Atlanwo, and that is saying a great ‘The receipts at the office of the Assisteat Treasurer of thi, deni. The oateasion of our works of improvement, pactl | | colarly railroads, called fo- resources of most extracedl- nary character. “he ordinary channels of credit would not suffice for carrying sueh a kad«f promises to pay, and the genius of our financiers was taxi for a desidera- tum. They proved to be equal to the emergency, and we have just commenced realizing rome of the results, Railroads could not be built very well without monay, amd stock subseriptions came in +l)w, and only to mederate extent. The happy idea of -ecuring and employing the credit of corporations was conceive! by some geoius, and it has been pretty generally carried out. Cities, counties, towns, villages, have been drawn into the movement, an@ their bends have been issued at a rate astonishing, even im this age. It is safe to estimate an aggregate issue of these securities of at least one hundred millions of dollars, not one dollar of which will ever be paid, except by substituting new bonds for the old as they ma- ture. More than twelve months since we printed out the dangers attending this system of creating debts by car- porations. We stated at the time, that taxes levied fer the interest would be repudiated, and thove who invested in such securities would find it unproduetive, if not some- thing worse. We are rapidly approaching that point, am@ the rerult will be full as fatal as predicted. Parties held- ing these securities have already severely felt their worth- lessness during a stringent money market, and individuale may fail, with stacks of such paper in their possesslow Itcannot be negotiated, and any general movement te realize would bring out floods of i’, and sacrifices ruinous to all concerned would be forced upon holders. Confidenee ix the bulk of the bonds on the market, has entirely dis- appeared, never to be resuscitated. They are really wortts no move than so much prettily engraved paper, and the capital they have drawn from the channels of commerce is locked up in railroads and other works of intermal improvement, where it will be ultimately utterly annihi- hilated. ‘The loeses will fall heavily upon the community at large ; but the class of speculators who have advanced on them, must bo swept away with the general wreek. Independent of this peculiar method of expanding credit, individuals have more than kept pace on their cwn ac- count. No one stopped fer a moment to reflect upon the probable effect of such immense additions to the floating promises to pay, as from time to time appeared, and the renult is, that almost every man is 4o far beyond his depts that one-half of them will be swallowed in the maclatrom of bankruptcy. The number of new banks which have commenced operations within the past two years, have, in seeking business, afforded the greatest inducements te speculators and others, and forced credits where it weuld otherwise have been avoided. These banks have been @ curse to the community where they are located, and have been decidedly instrumental in bringing about the present deplorable state of things. Stock Exchange.
