Thomas Ritchie aud the Estabiishment of the Union Newspaper. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Richmond Enquirer of a revent date contains a memoir of the late Thomas Ritchie, written by a friend, who bas no doubt proved himself capable of the teak; but so far as Mr. Ritchie was concerned {p establishing the Union at Wasbinzton, some par- ticulars are omitted which I propose to sapply. That part of the memoir which relates to this mat- | ter is correct im every particnlar: that Mr, It \olic on two ocsasions, when propositions were made t h'm to take charge of a paper in the city of Wash- ington, positively refused, even though the request came through a committee of gentlemen who occn- pied the distinguished position of members of th: United States Senate and House of Representatives- It was only after the President had positively con- cluded not to recognise the G/obe newaoaper as the official organ of the administration that a third at. tempt was made to induce Mr. Ritchie to take charge of tie administration paper, and it was brought about as follows: —. With the President It was understood that I was to be connected with the paper; but the great diffi- culty waa in regard to the editor. Fiaally, Mr. Polk sent for me and stated that he bad fixe! his mind upon Mr, Taos. Ritchie or Maj. A. J. Donelson, then acting as our Minister to Texas, but a3 Mr. Ritchie had positively declined to come to Washington un- der any circumstances, I had better make my ar rangements to depart immediately for Texas, and consult with Maj. Donelson; ia the msantime, he would prepare letters for me, calculated to accom- plish my object. I then suggested to the President the propriety of making another effort to induce Mr- Ritchie to take charge of the administration paper, on the ground that he had more editorial and politi- cal experience than Maj. Donelson—believing, a3 I did, that it wasan importsnt matter to have an old and experienced head in such a position, particular- ly at the commencement of a new and important adwinistration. The result of this interview with the President was, that on the following day, in- stead of starting for Texas, I started for Richmond, with Jettersefrom the President and from Mr. Ritchie’s old friend, Wm. Selden, Esq., then Trea- surer of the United States. On my # rival at the latter place, I la‘d my busi- nese before Mr. Ritchie, who received me in his usu- al courteous and hospitable- manzer, but appeared to be somewhat astonished that he should be again urged to accept a position which he had already several times refused. Finally, after dis- cussing the subject for some time, and spending & most delightfal evening with his agreeable fa mily, he informed me ‘‘ he would see about it—con- sult his friends, and let me know the resalt.” Cho folloving morning I Jeft Richmond for Washington, and-then, as the writer of his memorial staves, M-. Ritchie held frequent and anxious consultations with some of his warmest and most intimate politi- ¢a! friends in the city of Richmond. Some of them counselled him warmly against the step, bat advised him first to visit the President for the purpose of ascertaining for himself the great prinziples upon which his administration was to be condacted— whether they were in accordance with those wich Mr. Ritehie bad advocate? and cherished through a long life, and whether it was exvected that he should yield his independence of thought or action in assuming the position teodered bin. After making this visit, and receiving from Mr. Polk a frank expose of lis views, feelings, principles aod policy, avd believing they were in all respects in accordance with bis own, be consented to waive ali objections. ” From that time until tre «lose of Mr. Polk's a imia istiation, Mr. Ritebie had tee entire confideace of the President, and nota qnestion of importance Was brought before the goveroment that he was not coppizant of and moat geveraily consulted upon. ‘To show bis peite.t indepandence, wiicn a6 ¥ oult uct have given up to have been tue organ of governments in the world, I wil! relate 8 single fact: Before the Uniom was regniariy ucder woy, and while preparations were makizg for the same, tue roavectus was written and |.id dete e the Cabinet. it emhaced Mr. Ritchie's do:trines (tho old fash- ieped demucratic creed) throughout, It was read Jo cabinet council, met the agproval of the P . cert, aad only obje.ted to by ove member, ou a» count of ita frea trade doctrines.

New Yorx, August 21, 1854. In a notice of the steamship Sau Jacinto, in your editorial columns this morning, you state that the abip was built. at Brooklyn Navy Yard, and thtow the blame of her failure on the naval constructors. It is true that the ship waa built there. and a flaer ship of her clags does not float; but the machicery, | which is a disgrace to ite builders, a4 well as to the country, was built at Philadelphis, in a private es- tablishment, and has lately been repaired by the Bsme parties. Th ship had also been dovkei and repaired at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. It is no more thar ‘ust to state these facta, as the Philetel- phians are constantly boasting of the saperiority of the sbips and machinery built at their port; and they will cajl the San Jacinto another New York failure, instead of adaitting that the fault lies at their doors. New Youn. The Battle at Copenhagen. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEGALD. With reference to an article in your paper—“Pros- pect of another Copenhagen”—I should allow my- self to correct an error about time and cause. I have heard too often in this country the remark made that Nelson bombarded the city of Copen- | bagen in 1807. Nelson never bombarded the city of Copenbagen. He hai an open and fair battle in the Bay of Kjoge, just on the spot where Charles Napier took his first station in this war against Ras- sia. With reference to Nelson, every Dane’s breast swells with respect Sor the hero, But in 1807,uuder the ‘command of Admiral Gambier 294 General Chatcha, the highway robbery, landing 40,000 men: twenty miles from Copenhagen, bombardi2g. tae. city, destroying the navy-yards and all, while on friendly and-ventral terms, is what no Dane or Danish generation ever forgets.

A gentleman from Arvostook feel states that showers have been frequent, that no ¢ifficuity is ex- pertenced from any drought, and that the grass is green and the feed good, By the following from the Detroit Inquirer of the 17h, it will he seen that Michigan, als», is suffering seve :e}y from d@osght:—Great drought is now pre- vailing tbrovghout the Stute, threatening in mayy laces to eut very short both corn and potatoes. ‘re b eadth of land in corn, the present season, is unusually large, and up to two weeks ago am crop never looked more Inxarian'ly, or gave better promise, but the leaves now be gin to curl and turn yellow, aod the tops are dying ont.

The preva- Jent oj-iuion among the more experienced farmers in this ard adjoining counties, is that oots:oes, which have not yet ripeved, comprising a'l late plaated po- tatces, will bea failure. ‘The vines are already dy- ing fast.

Preciaticn at this rate is entirely beyond precedent. We have nereco.lection of recording such a steady rapid decline inthe stock of any railroad compeny in active operation; but we are afiaid that the Erie Company will not be the oniy one on the list. Harlem and New Haren Railroad companies have run down pretty well, and the probability is that they will go still lower. At the open- ing of Harlem te day, the stock commenced at 35 por cent, fell off to 29, and closed at 202, per cent. This is contrary to general expectation. The supposition was that it would open at about 40 per cent, and be main- tained. New Haven stock has no particular market value. It will not be opened again at the board for some time, and in the meantime it would be difficult,to seli it above forty to fifty per cent. Reading Railsoad advanced a fraction this morning, from some local influ- ence. All sorts of opinions prevail relative to the recent pany’s affairs. This is natural enough; for the two great speculative interests are continually at work on tho fancies—one in depreciating and the other in appreci- ating some particular stock. Reading has its friends and its enemies, like any other fancy, and will, of course, fluctuate. The company have the monopoly of an enor- mous business, and all that is necessary is good manage- ment. Cumberland Coal appears to be settling down again to the old starting point. A large quantity of stock has recently been put on the market, the effect of which, in such times, could bave been easily foreseen. We have seen no statement very lately of iis coal opera- tions, but presume it is doing as large and profitable 4 business as previously reported this season. The price of coal ia high enough to give large profits; and if coal companics do not make a great deal of money and pay heavy dividends this year they nevezcan. Nicaragua ‘Transit holds ita own as well as any other stock on the list, and we know of nothing calculated to depreciate permanently its market value. The depression in railroad securities is about being followed uy by failures and panic in the currency; seve- ral banks are announced as having failed to day, an] tha desire to get rid of bank notes and to pocket gold, strorgly reminds one of 1837 and 1838 The Metropolitan Favk, in promising te regulate the curreney, has grossly deceived the public, for a more worthless and dangerous volume of trash never flowed in and out of the pockets o) the peop'e. At this juncture the State comes inio the het to borrow one aad a qnarter millions for the caval enlargement, The Canal Commissioners undoubt- edly rely upon a demand for bank purposes; in thie they will be doomed to sad disappoiutment, for there are few of cireulation.u atil after the present bank panic has had its run. The shortsightedness in not putting the total amount which the canal enlargement law permits for any one year on the market, before the United States government withdrew, must surprise those who examine taken at ap averoge of 18 per cent premium, and sub- stituted in the Bank Derartment for U. 8. stocks, which were purchased by the federal government at 21 per cent premium, There wero plenty of U. 8 stocks in the Bank Department to have covered the present loan also. Thia Joan must now rest upon a demand for investment, and by the price of other permanent State stocks, such as North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Virglaia, and Mis- sonii, at 1to 3 per cent premium, we should think that from 6 to 8 per cent premium would be all that our real capitalists, savings banke, insurance and trust compr nics would poy for a U. 64 er cen! stock.
