Thore remains, then; but this alternative Uard Money, Cash Payments, and Free Trade for we assume that a uure ro-coas traction of our lute Paper Money and Mercantile Credit system is out of the question. Ileal capitalists will not invest their means in banks of issuo organized as at present and subject to the perils which have just overtaken and wrecked us. Sinco wo cannot havo protection, we must try tho experiment oflow prices since we cannot have paper money that is good in every part of the country, and as good to-morrow as to-day, we must try the effect of such approximation as is attainable by ft specie currency. We do not speak of this as essentially desirable but as palpably inevitable. - We cannot keep oi. drilling around Point No Point ; we must havo a policy and a substantially uniform currency. Bank notes that are 10 per cent, discount in other irredeemable paper only fire hour's ride fro m their place of issue, may be fair shin plasters; but they do not form real currency. We must have something better than this or nothing. A very large, and probably at this time, increasing class among us regard hard money and low prices as the true antidote to our current evils, financial nd Industrial ; and the present President of the United States, when a U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, ennnciated this sentiment : 'Reduce our notnintl tu the standard of real prices throughout the world, and you cover th nation with blessings."

I propose to present to those interested some information and some reflections upon the management of the Sandu.'ky, Mansfield & Newark liailroad. This road was made by consolidating these companies, namely : 1st. Tho Mansfield & San-dusky, 56 miles long. 2d. Tho Huron & Oxford,.. 10 " " 3d. The Columbus & Lake Erio GO " " Total length ; 126 " " Let us now see what were tho liabilities of each of these companies before the consolidation and then, bow these liabilities were ad justed. The Mansfield & Sandusky City Railroad owed as follows : Original and first mortgage Bonds,. $730,000 Second mortgngo and Consolidated Bonds 558,000 Floating debt, part in judgment,. . . 205,000 Stock 000,000 $2,483,000 Here are 5G miles of road costing $l-',339 per milo. The Columbus & Lake Erie liailroad owod as follows : First mortgage bonds $524,000 Second mortgage bonds 335,000 Stock, 350.000 $1,209,000 Ilcre arc GO miles of road costing $20,250 per mile less than one-half as much as the Mans field & Sandusky. The Huron & Oxford Railroad owed as follows : Fist mortgage bonds ... . $C0,000 Second do do 40,000 Stock 100,000 $200,000 This is so small an item in this great swin dle, that it scarcely deserves notice. It should bo remembered, however, that this nwl extonjj from Huron on Lake Erie, ten miles south nntil it connects with the M. & S. Railroad and that it is of no practical utility whotovcr to the line. It was just so nuch dead weight, but it must bo provided fur on account ol the parties holding its liabilities. . A part of the enormous difference in the cost of M. 9. and the C. & L. E. roads is accounted Tor by the fact that the first named compan, owned all the .machinery and somo warehouses; but the first cost of these was a mere Ui'Je, compared with tho gross disparity in tie cost of the two principal roads. It must also be remembered that by usa and decay, (be property was materially deprecia ted. . The true cause for (bis great difference in cwt, consists in the numerous and shameful sacrifices made by the Mansfield 3c Sandusky City Road in selling her stock and bonds. Large amounts of her stock were sold at 30 cents on the dollar, and bonds at a similar dis count. In this way the M. & S. road was made to cost 100 per cent more than tho Columbus & Lake Erie, and yet the country through which it passes is the more' favorable of tho two for cheap construction. Tho parties holding those claims against the M. & S. Railroad, wero the persons who have consummated this consolidation and they have accomplished this in order to make these securities, purchased at this large dis count, before mentioned, of somo value. Tho truth is, they had devoured the M. & S. Railroad, and feeling still hungry, resolved to swallow tho Columbus and Lake Eric. Here is the way in which it was accomplished. A new company is formed out of tho three, and the debts and stock of each is thus paid for by this new company. 1. Tho Mansfield & Sandusky City Railroad. The original and first mortgage bonds to be paid by a mort gage of the new company $700,000 The second mortgage and consoli dated bonds, $558,000 to be reduced to stock at 40 per cent 279,000 The floating debt $295,000 less $125,000 to be paid 170,000 Balance of floating debt to bo paid in stock at 50 per cent G2,500 Stock $900,000 paid for at 35 per cent by stock in new company 315,000 $1550,50. Observe hore that tho M. & S. road, 56 miles long, cost in the new company $27,794 per mile. Tl.e Columbus and Lake Erie indebtedness is paid for in this manner : First mortgage- bonds to bo paid for by a bond of tho new company. . 524,000 becond mortgage bonds 335,000 to be surrendered at the rate of CO per cent for new stock 201,000 Old stock 335,000 surrendered at 45 per cent for new stock 157,000 $882,000 Here obsorvo that tho C. & L. E. road, GO miles long costs in tho new company $14,700, thus preserving in tho new company, about the same disparity in costs between the two companies as existed in fact under tho iniqui tous practice adopted in tho construction of tho M. & S. road, to which I havo before ol-ludcd.It is very clear that tho manner of consoli dating theso roads, was very unjust to tho holders of stock and bonds in tho Columbus & Lake Erio load. Those who owned a large amount of the stock in Mansfield & Sandusky liailroad, were holders also of tha stock and bonds of the Columbus & Lake Eric Railroad; and such persons were willing to suiter tho loss upon their C. & L. E. securities, which would result from the consolidation for the sake of the advantago which they would obtain by appreciation in their stock and bonds held in M. & S. company. Tho Columbus & Lake Erie road extends from Newark to Mansfield. At Newark it connects with the Ohio Central ; at Mansfield, with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayno & Chicago, and by this road with the Clcvoland, Columbus & Cincinnati at Crestline It had an advantageous and highly favorable position, and was by no means dependant on the Mansfield & Sandusky road for business or success. It had cost only about 20,000 per mile, and it was, (if disconnected from tho M. & S. road,) a good security for this indebtedness.I wish now to call attention to tho manner of effecting this consolidation, and to do this, I must noto the cxpeuses that havo been paid for it, and to whom paid. I give the list as it has been furnished mo by a person connected with the road.

Bond as Receiver. . . i . 4,580 $35,633,21 Here is nearly thirty six thousand dollars taken in cash from the earnings of the lino, expended in making this consolidation, and $29,000 of this enormous sum seems to havo been paid to the attorneys, and to Messrs. Gibson and Camp, who made the representations or misreprcseutatious; which wero required to obtain the consent of certain persons to tho act of consolidating. Thus the creditors of tho Columbus & Lake Erie road were forced, to aid in paying such extravagant and unreasonable charges, to men who were engaged in an undertaking which if successful would totally ruin and destroy thcir property. As an evidence of the truth of this remark, I stale that I have reliable information that the net earnings of tho new company, since the consolidation, have not beon suflhiient to pay the interest on the now debt alone, and that so far from paying divi dends to stock holders, the now company at each recurring half yearly interest day, has beon compelled to borrow money to pay interest on the now and reduced debt. In viow of these fncts I wish to submit to tho creditors, the propriety of having paid the counsel who effected this consolidation $13,-000; and the justice, of having paid to Messrs-Gibson & Camp, $15,000 more. I wish also to remark that no road ever did, nor ever will prosper while it is controlled by persons who use it for their own exclusive benefit, and without due regard to the rights of stockholders, Since the decree, relied on as effecting tho eousolidution, the road has been subject to the manngemcntof Hon. W. K. Bond as President who has been paid a large salary, as I under.' stand, $5,000 per annum, while the road has not been earning enough to pay interest on the debt, as reduced by tho new arrangement.It is a fact known and admitted by all intelligent persons along tho lino that a judicious and enlightened policy would muke tho work vastly more productive than it is, for under tho present management, so little re- gard is paid to inviting and encouraging busi- ncss, that everything in tho shape of freight is kept off the road that can possibly be taken to market without using it. Thero is some doubts as to the legality of the act consolidating these roads. There is scarcely any doubt but that a united effort of those interested, would reinstall tho old corporations in their former positions, and if the creditors of the Columbus & Lake Erio road expect ever to realise anything for their property, they must endeavor to obtain their for-mcr position. I cannot conclude without admonishing the parties largely interested, who reside in New-York, that in tl o end they will find, even this new arrangement unavailing, for tho par-tics, who have consummated it will not, judging of tho future by the past, so uso the power conferred on them as to mako the property productive.

A gift bestowed upon an unworthy objoct without enquiry is of doubtful virtue, but a gift to ono whom tho giver knows will apply it, or a part of it, to a bad purposo is not a charity but a crime. Tho giver makes him self nn accessory before tho act and a participator in its consequences. Such is tho decision of enlightened reason '' Contribute to build and endow a university on a grand scale " is a call we have recently heard, and it was sustained and enforced by every plausible- argument that much study and repeated rehearsals could produce. It was presented too by a gentleman of talent ana " high sociul position " having " Rcv'd " prefixed to his paternal "nomon" A. Lay. man to whom the appeal was made is supposed to havo answered as follows : What is it for ? " Rkv'd. Piiei-ix. Why Brother, it is desicn ed to educato ministers fur nnr rlmii.li m no. to preserve our doctrines pure and save the church and the Union from schism and agita tion. Ours you know is tho most conserva tive church in tho country, nnd conservatism is the only hope of our distracted countrv yet we havo in this great Stats of Ohio no largo and influential University, while other denominations of so-called christians are building up their Seminaries and Universities ull over the State : ami thorn U Ann in tltn Northern part of the State that lately sprang up and now has fiom 1000 to 1200 students enrolled, anuually, and yet it is far from being a conservative church (if it could bo allowed to be called a church at ullt that hn of it. Layman. I don't know that I caro so much about conservative, for it seems to be a very limber kind of a slick any how, and wo farmers prefer moro stability and firmness in the timber of which we expect to make a permanent structure but let mo ask you a question. Do you intend in j our magnificent Utiivcrsity, to educato rum-drinking rum- selling ministers who you know inteud to go out into the world with your Diploma and organize and minister to rum-selling churches with rum-selling, rum-drinking Deacons and Elders, and uso the talent ofyour cultivation, by tho aid of our money to cxtond, perpetuate and establish by Governmental authority and power tho institution of Bacchus with all its atrocities ? Rkv'd. Pnunx. Dear me ! why no sir. Of courso wo don't intend any such thing that would never do at alL It would ruin our church ot any other. Why rum selling is a sin and the church has frequently declared it a sin not to bo tolerated in the church. 0 ! that is Very unpopular. Yoti don't perceive our point I am afraid. 1 will stuto it again. We intend to have an institution of commanding position, liberally endowed in an attractive place accessible from all points and as free from annoyance as possibly and devoted to our church where our pure doctrines aro taughUhoroughly as they are gut forth in our Westminister con- ession of faun, and in our catechism. Laymas. Well, porhaps. I didn't see vour point and indeed it is so small that I nm afraid tny uneducated eyes will never bo able to discover it. Is that all you want a Univer sity for 1 Rf.v'p. Phufix. Oh dear no sir. oh no. Why you mu-tt see tlut if we do not irut i up an institution ofour own exclusively, our youth will run off to then other schools' where they will teach persons or any and everr do-1 nomination, and then they will get what they call liberal ideas, and so loose tho ism' of our church, j Nowourohuirh is eminently en- scrvative and. corsorvatism, you know, Is the very tall of Ibis great confederation ; (I presume you love your country,) yes sir conservatism anti-putrescont and without it the whole country would inevitably spoil. This progressive age would soetn wild and overthrow every timo-honored institution in our land, and universal ruin would bo the result. Why, sir, allow me to inform you that in somo of the eastorn and northorn States, the public whipping post and imprisonment for debt or for having a bad complexion are already abolished, and the time may come that even confession of faith shall be discarded, and then we know that universal ruin is nigh. Layman. But, sir, is thero o bo no more progress from the time of the dedication of your new college ? Wil that paralyzo all the ngencics of progress now at work ? If your institution, let mo say, is not to be an instru-' mcntof human progress, I will never contribute to it. But if you would teach not only tho doc trines of our church in purity, but tho doctrines of the Gospel practically so as to purify tho church and raise up a class of ministers who would boldly lift up a standard of right eousness and set the church, with ull its moral forco and intelligence, in opposition to all sin, and especially against thoso Wide-spread overshadowing Heaven-defying, legalized sins gonerally called ))o'i'orto?sinp,-igainst which our Saviour nnd all his prophets anda postles made such a decided protest, I would rejoico in your success. Rkv'd Prefix. Well, Brother, I am sure I don't seo why you should suspect us of a design to do any other way. You certainly wcro not in earnest when you spoke of our educating rum-selling ministers knowing them to be such. That would not only be inconsistent, but palpablywicked-because- it, in fact, would bo giving aid and comfort to tho enemy of our Savior, which would bj treason, unmitigated treason, and besides that it would destroy our church. But what mdo you think of such an awful picture as that ? Laymas. Why tho circular or little pamphlet you distributed to induce us to contribute.Rkv'd. Piiefix. Does that intimate any such thing ? If it docs, I'll tramp it under foot at once (.stamps indignantly) for rtiin-selling is one of tho most unpopular sins of tho ago and we could not countcnanco it in the least without injuring our church. Layman. 0, 1 did not say that your circular mentioned rum-selling as a thing you meant to foster or countenance or that it intimated that tiling. I said tho circular made mo think of it and I only put tho question as a leading question, nnd now I will take the liberty to say that your circular does intimate a design to do a thing in your University at West Liberty, which all men not blinded by selfishness consider incomparably worso than tho horrid crime to which I called your attention.Rev'd. Piiefix. Well brother L., do tell us what you have seen in this circular that so destroys your confidence in the leaders of our church as to muko you feel we are about to forsako the old paths. Layman. 0 I did not see all I've seen in that circular ; it is quite visible in many other things tho church have done ; nor nm I so very much afraid of your leaving tho old paths indeed I think tho sooner you leave somo of them tho better. But what I saw in tho circular is a slightly clouded intimation that after you get everything fixed up all nice and comfortable so as to moot ti e entire approbation and Iks cut rdy suitublojbrsuch very ro. nned being", tlio nyou intend to take oil' ycur hat Irom your head, and your shoes from your foot and invito those to share in the ben- lit of your institution and become its repre sentatives in every department Theological and all) who you know do intend to make merchandize of the souls of men as well as their bodies who, in short intend to perpet-uato and extend by every means within their reach tho institution of human shivery, with all its enormities, your example teaching them to speak cautiously of it and offer all tho apoiogics for it that can bo found, while harsh terms are employed against those who opposo it. Teaching them that they may be tolerably fair Christians whilo they sustain laws that mako chattels of men, women, and children, though they should buy their own brothers and sisters, parents, sons or daughters or even of thoso whom Jesus Christ has acknowredgod as members of his body. And do you expect honest men who havo been taught to love tho Creator and all his creatures to love the Savior and all for. whom he died to love his law and do to others as they would that others should do to them I say do you expect such men to aid aud encourago such an institution as Amcri-can Slavery ? As though it wcro not enough that we, who aro conscientiously opiosed to man-stealing, as nil Godly persons are and must be, are compiled through the Federul Government to sustain tho burdens of the post office, tho Army and tho Navy for their boncfit and many fat offices in the Diplomatic, Judicial and Exccutivo departments of Gov. eminent for them to fill. Not enough that we submit to a ropresentator in Congress of threo-fifths of thoir slave property while not a cent's worth of our property is represented. Nut enough that we havo iniosed upon us the disgusting Obligation of catching their depressed and Oppressed fugitives. Not enough that Our manufacturing interests must be denied the fostering protection of our Govern-' mont for their !enent but you would have us build Universities for them so that they may be educated at a trifling expense. . TO BK lOlSTINUKlV . More Catholic Miiacles. From the Iceman's Journal. The itov, Father Uaudentitis Itosi, ussiuted by tho Rev. Father Anthony Calandii and Luke Baudinelli, all belonging to tho Passion-i.st Monastery of Blessed Paul of the Cross, Birmingham, Pa., have for several weeks been giving missions with marvelous success and effect in different parishes of the Diocese of Brooklyn. These holy and self denying missionaries nave their first mission at St. Joseph's Church, Bedford, in tho bounds of Brooklyn city. The religious interest excited by this first missions was of the most remarkable character. The church was thronged at every service ; more than five thousand went to communion, and at the close of the tuisi-ion, some twelve or fifteen non 'atholirs, soma of them persons of superior education were received into the Church. In the course of th'S mission, it is asserted on cre-libte. authority, that Vol toat pleased to manifest his favor by yeciul graces if an external character.

I he sensations created by this movement among those unprepared by their education for such "signs following them that believe," was intense. Father Guadentius blessod those that came to him with the relics of. the holy founder of his order, . leased Paul of the Cross, and in somk cases cunns wehs effected on the instant Others tvere popularly reported, but not so altes ted as to be cited here.

Our delicately nerved Washington tel egraphic reporter did not send us anything of the speech of Lovejoy, of Illinois, on the filibuster fracas. The reporter for the Lake Shore papers was not so silent. He reported that Mr. Lovejoy was guilty of remarks, of which tho following is an abstract : State Jour. Mr. Lovejoy said if tho neutrality laws needed a change he would vote for it. He protested againsUhis attempt loclcvate into honor a buccaneer, a murderer and a pirate ; as for tho fact they had tho authority of the President, who says that Walker is a fugitive from justice, and escaped from jail, and now they wcro asked to bow to the magnanimity of the criminal who yielded to the officer. Laughter. Great magnanimity, indeed, when a man can't help hitns jlf. Liughter. That was done under the police arrangements every day. If they had to bow to every such man as a hero, they would soon exhaust thcirpow-erofadmiiation. Laughter. If Com. Paulding had hung him Walker at the yard arm, he Lovrfoy -would havo honored him for it. This is the treatment w hich such pinitcsoughl to have held out to them. He entered his pro test against clothing a man with heroism and making him a martyr, when he is simply a rascal. Excessive laughter. Importance of Advertising. Brother Miller of tho Sidney Democrat, says : " We are frequently asked who keeps tho best stock of goods in town, and who sells at tliu lowest prices. 1 lie only reply wo have to make is, examine our advertising columns for yourselves. The different persons who advertise with us keep goods, and sell low. As to others we cannot say anything, as wo never purchase of those who do not patronize us. When you want cheap goods hereafter, buy of thoso who advertize.'' Like Brother Miller, we ulso, are often questioned us to wIki kuep the best stock of goods in town, and our reply is in subsume.! exactly tho samo. We cannot recommend tho mui. who does not advertize, lor we know nothing ubout his goods. Wo know uot whether he has a large or a small stcck, nor do we know how ho sells them. Wo append the following from tho Dayton Empire. , Where shall I go to trade ? People ask thcmg.'lvcs this question almost as often as thoy havo a want to s.ipply. And what must be tho answer? Common sense says "go to tho man who occupies a conspicuous place in the advertising columns of the newspaper." If a man does nut think his business worth advertising, people are apt to take his business at his own estimate and past by on the olh erside. The ground woik of all prosperity is a judicious system of advertizing. Though Jeremiah thcl'ioiihet, cr John tho Rcvclalor, mtynot have said so in exact words, yit had they lived in tlieso latter limes, and had it been submitted to them for consideration, both Jcruniiah and John would have endorsed the proposition at once.

Thore remains, then; but this alternative Uard Money, Cash Payments, and Free Trade for we assume that a uure ro-coas traction of our lute Paper Money and Mercantile Credit system is out of the question. Ileal capitalists will not invest their means in banks of issuo organized as at present and subject to the perils which have just overtaken and wrecked us. Sinco wo cannot havo protection, we must try tho experiment oflow prices since we cannot have paper money that is good in every part of the country, and as good to-morrow as to-day, we must try the effect of such approximation as is attainable by ft specie currency. We do not speak of this as essentially desirable but as palpably inevitable. - We cannot keep oi. drilling around Point No Point ; we must havo a policy and a substantially uniform currency. Bank notes that are 10 per cent, discount in other irredeemable paper only fire hour's ride fro m their place of issue, may be fair shin plasters; but they do not form real currency. We must have something better than this or nothing. A very large, and probably at this time, increasing class among us regard hard money and low prices as the true antidote to our current evils, financial nd Industrial ; and the present President of the United States, when a U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, ennnciated this sentiment : 'Reduce our notnintl tu the standard of real prices throughout the world, and you cover th nation with blessings."

I propose to present to those interested some information and some reflections upon the management of the Sandu.'ky, Mansfield & Newark liailroad. This road was made by consolidating these companies, namely : 1st. Tho Mansfield & San-dusky, 56 miles long. 2d. Tho Huron & Oxford,.. 10 " " 3d. The Columbus & Lake Erio GO " " Total length ; 126 " " Let us now see what were tho liabilities of each of these companies before the consolidation and then, bow these liabilities were ad justed. The Mansfield & Sandusky City Railroad owed as follows : Original and first mortgage Bonds,. $730,000 Second mortgngo and Consolidated Bonds 558,000 Floating debt, part in judgment,. . . 205,000 Stock 000,000 $2,483,000 Here are 5G miles of road costing $l-',339 per milo. The Columbus & Lake Erie liailroad owod as follows : First mortgage bonds $524,000 Second mortgage bonds 335,000 Stock, 350.000 $1,209,000 Ilcre arc GO miles of road costing $20,250 per mile less than one-half as much as the Mans field & Sandusky. The Huron & Oxford Railroad owed as follows : Fist mortgage bonds ... . $C0,000 Second do do 40,000 Stock 100,000 $200,000 This is so small an item in this great swin dle, that it scarcely deserves notice. It should bo remembered, however, that this nwl extonjj from Huron on Lake Erie, ten miles south nntil it connects with the M. & S. Railroad and that it is of no practical utility whotovcr to the line. It was just so nuch dead weight, but it must bo provided fur on account ol the parties holding its liabilities. . A part of the enormous difference in the cost of M. 9. and the C. & L. E. roads is accounted Tor by the fact that the first named compan, owned all the .machinery and somo warehouses; but the first cost of these was a mere Ui'Je, compared with tho gross disparity in tie cost of the two principal roads. It must also be remembered that by usa and decay, (be property was materially deprecia ted. . The true cause for (bis great difference in cwt, consists in the numerous and shameful sacrifices made by the Mansfield 3c Sandusky City Road in selling her stock and bonds. Large amounts of her stock were sold at 30 cents on the dollar, and bonds at a similar dis count. In this way the M. & S. road was made to cost 100 per cent more than tho Columbus & Lake Erie, and yet the country through which it passes is the more' favorable of tho two for cheap construction. Tho parties holding those claims against the M. & S. Railroad, wero the persons who have consummated this consolidation and they have accomplished this in order to make these securities, purchased at this large dis count, before mentioned, of somo value. Tho truth is, they had devoured the M. & S. Railroad, and feeling still hungry, resolved to swallow tho Columbus and Lake Eric. Here is the way in which it was accomplished. A new company is formed out of tho three, and the debts and stock of each is thus paid for by this new company. 1. Tho Mansfield & Sandusky City Railroad. The original and first mortgage bonds to be paid by a mort gage of the new company $700,000 The second mortgage and consoli dated bonds, $558,000 to be reduced to stock at 40 per cent 279,000 The floating debt $295,000 less $125,000 to be paid 170,000 Balance of floating debt to bo paid in stock at 50 per cent G2,500 Stock $900,000 paid for at 35 per cent by stock in new company 315,000 $1550,50. Observe hore that tho M. & S. road, 56 miles long, cost in the new company $27,794 per mile. Tl.e Columbus and Lake Erie indebtedness is paid for in this manner : First mortgage- bonds to bo paid for by a bond of tho new company. . 524,000 becond mortgage bonds 335,000 to be surrendered at the rate of CO per cent for new stock 201,000 Old stock 335,000 surrendered at 45 per cent for new stock 157,000 $882,000 Here obsorvo that tho C. & L. E. road, GO miles long costs in tho new company $14,700, thus preserving in tho new company, about the same disparity in costs between the two companies as existed in fact under tho iniqui tous practice adopted in tho construction of tho M. & S. road, to which I havo before ol-ludcd.It is very clear that tho manner of consoli dating theso roads, was very unjust to tho holders of stock and bonds in tho Columbus & Lake Erio load. Those who owned a large amount of the stock in Mansfield & Sandusky liailroad, were holders also of tha stock and bonds of the Columbus & Lake Eric Railroad; and such persons were willing to suiter tho loss upon their C. & L. E. securities, which would result from the consolidation for the sake of the advantago which they would obtain by appreciation in their stock and bonds held in M. & S. company. Tho Columbus & Lake Erie road extends from Newark to Mansfield. At Newark it connects with the Ohio Central ; at Mansfield, with the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayno & Chicago, and by this road with the Clcvoland, Columbus & Cincinnati at Crestline It had an advantageous and highly favorable position, and was by no means dependant on the Mansfield & Sandusky road for business or success. It had cost only about 20,000 per mile, and it was, (if disconnected from tho M. & S. road,) a good security for this indebtedness.I wish now to call attention to tho manner of effecting this consolidation, and to do this, I must noto the cxpeuses that havo been paid for it, and to whom paid. I give the list as it has been furnished mo by a person connected with the road.

Bond as Receiver. . . i . 4,580 $35,633,21 Here is nearly thirty six thousand dollars taken in cash from the earnings of the lino, expended in making this consolidation, and $29,000 of this enormous sum seems to havo been paid to the attorneys, and to Messrs. Gibson and Camp, who made the representations or misreprcseutatious; which wero required to obtain the consent of certain persons to tho act of consolidating. Thus the creditors of tho Columbus & Lake Erie road were forced, to aid in paying such extravagant and unreasonable charges, to men who were engaged in an undertaking which if successful would totally ruin and destroy thcir property. As an evidence of the truth of this remark, I stale that I have reliable information that the net earnings of tho new company, since the consolidation, have not beon suflhiient to pay the interest on the now debt alone, and that so far from paying divi dends to stock holders, the now company at each recurring half yearly interest day, has beon compelled to borrow money to pay interest on the now and reduced debt. In viow of these fncts I wish to submit to tho creditors, the propriety of having paid the counsel who effected this consolidation $13,-000; and the justice, of having paid to Messrs-Gibson & Camp, $15,000 more. I wish also to remark that no road ever did, nor ever will prosper while it is controlled by persons who use it for their own exclusive benefit, and without due regard to the rights of stockholders, Since the decree, relied on as effecting tho eousolidution, the road has been subject to the manngemcntof Hon. W. K. Bond as President who has been paid a large salary, as I under.' stand, $5,000 per annum, while the road has not been earning enough to pay interest on the debt, as reduced by tho new arrangement.It is a fact known and admitted by all intelligent persons along tho lino that a judicious and enlightened policy would muke tho work vastly more productive than it is, for under tho present management, so little re- gard is paid to inviting and encouraging busi- ncss, that everything in tho shape of freight is kept off the road that can possibly be taken to market without using it. Thero is some doubts as to the legality of the act consolidating these roads. There is scarcely any doubt but that a united effort of those interested, would reinstall tho old corporations in their former positions, and if the creditors of the Columbus & Lake Erio road expect ever to realise anything for their property, they must endeavor to obtain their for-mcr position. I cannot conclude without admonishing the parties largely interested, who reside in New-York, that in tl o end they will find, even this new arrangement unavailing, for tho par-tics, who have consummated it will not, judging of tho future by the past, so uso the power conferred on them as to mako the property productive.

A gift bestowed upon an unworthy objoct without enquiry is of doubtful virtue, but a gift to ono whom tho giver knows will apply it, or a part of it, to a bad purposo is not a charity but a crime.

Layman. I don't know that I caro so much about conservative, for it seems to be a very limber kind of a slick any how, and wo farmers prefer moro stability and firmness in the timber of which we expect to make a permanent structure but let mo ask you a question. Do you intend in j our magnificent Utiivcrsity, to educato rum-drinking rum- selling ministers who you know inteud to go out into the world with your Diploma and organize and minister to rum-selling churches with rum-selling, rum-drinking Deacons and Elders, and uso the talent ofyour cultivation, by tho aid of our money to cxtond, perpetuate and establish by Governmental authority and power tho institution of Bacchus with all its atrocities ? Rkv'd. Pnunx. Dear me ! why no sir. Of courso wo don't intend any such thing that would never do at alL It would ruin our church ot any other. Why rum selling is a sin and the church has frequently declared it a sin not to bo tolerated in the church. 0 ! that is Very unpopular. Yoti don't perceive our point I am afraid. 1 will stuto it again. We intend to have an institution of commanding position, liberally endowed in an attractive place accessible from all points and as free from annoyance as possibly and devoted to our church where our pure doctrines aro taughUhoroughly as they are gut forth in our Westminister con- ession of faun, and in our catechism. Laymas. Well, porhaps. I didn't see vour point and indeed it is so small that I nm afraid tny uneducated eyes will never bo able to discover it. Is that all you want a Univer sity for 1 Rf.v'p. Phufix. Oh dear no sir. oh no. Why you mu-tt see tlut if we do not irut i up an institution ofour own exclusively, our youth will run off to then other schools' where they will teach persons or any and everr do-1 nomination, and then they will get what they call liberal ideas, and so loose tho ism' of our church, j Nowourohuirh is eminently en- scrvative and. corsorvatism, you know, Is the very tall of Ibis great confederation ; (I presume you love your country,) yes sir conservatism anti-putrescont and without it the whole country would inevitably spoil. This progressive age would soetn wild and overthrow every timo-honored institution in our land, and universal ruin would bo the result. Why, sir, allow me to inform you that in somo of the eastorn and northorn States, the public whipping post and imprisonment for debt or for having a bad complexion are already abolished, and the time may come that even confession of faith shall be discarded, and then we know that universal ruin is nigh. Layman. But, sir, is thero o bo no more progress from the time of the dedication of your new college ? Wil that paralyzo all the ngencics of progress now at work ? If your institution, let mo say, is not to be an instru-' mcntof human progress, I will never contribute to it. But if you would teach not only tho doc trines of our church in purity, but tho doctrines of the Gospel practically so as to purify tho church and raise up a class of ministers who would boldly lift up a standard of right eousness and set the church, with ull its moral forco and intelligence, in opposition to all sin, and especially against thoso Wide-spread overshadowing Heaven-defying, legalized sins gonerally called ))o'i'orto?sinp,-igainst which our Saviour nnd all his prophets anda postles made such a decided protest, I would rejoico in your success. Rkv'd Prefix. Well, Brother, I am sure I don't seo why you should suspect us of a design to do any other way. You certainly wcro not in earnest when you spoke of our educating rum-selling ministers knowing them to be such. That would not only be inconsistent, but palpablywicked-because- it, in fact, would bo giving aid and comfort to tho enemy of our Savior, which would bj treason, unmitigated treason, and besides that it would destroy our church. But what mdo you think of such an awful picture as that ? Laymas. Why tho circular or little pamphlet you distributed to induce us to contribute.Rkv'd. Piiefix. Does that intimate any such thing ? If it docs, I'll tramp it under foot at once (.stamps indignantly) for rtiin-selling is one of tho most unpopular sins of tho ago and we could not countcnanco it in the least without injuring our church. Layman. 0, 1 did not say that your circular mentioned rum-selling as a thing you meant to foster or countenance or that it intimated that tiling. I said tho circular made mo think of it and I only put tho question as a leading question, nnd now I will take the liberty to say that your circular does intimate a design to do a thing in your University at West Liberty, which all men not blinded by selfishness consider incomparably worso than tho horrid crime to which I called your attention.Rev'd. Piiefix. Well brother L., do tell us what you have seen in this circular that so destroys your confidence in the leaders of our church as to muko you feel we are about to forsako the old paths. Layman. 0 I did not see all I've seen in that circular ; it is quite visible in many other things tho church have done ; nor nm I so very much afraid of your leaving tho old paths indeed I think tho sooner you leave somo of them tho better. But what I saw in tho circular is a slightly clouded intimation that after you get everything fixed up all nice and comfortable so as to moot ti e entire approbation and Iks cut rdy suitublojbrsuch very ro. nned being", tlio nyou intend to take oil' ycur hat Irom your head, and your shoes from your foot and invito those to share in the ben- lit of your institution and become its repre sentatives in every department Theological and all) who you know do intend to make merchandize of the souls of men as well as their bodies who, in short intend to perpet-uato and extend by every means within their reach tho institution of human shivery, with all its enormities, your example teaching them to speak cautiously of it and offer all tho apoiogics for it that can bo found, while harsh terms are employed against those who opposo it. Teaching them that they may be tolerably fair Christians whilo they sustain laws that mako chattels of men, women, and children, though they should buy their own brothers and sisters, parents, sons or daughters or even of thoso whom Jesus Christ has acknowredgod as members of his body. And do you expect honest men who havo been taught to love tho Creator and all his creatures to love the Savior and all for. whom he died to love his law and do to others as they would that others should do to them I say do you expect such men to aid aud encourago such an institution as Amcri-can Slavery ? As though it wcro not enough that we, who aro conscientiously opiosed to man-stealing, as nil Godly persons are and must be, are compiled through the Federul Government to sustain tho burdens of the post office, tho Army and tho Navy for their boncfit and many fat offices in the Diplomatic, Judicial and Exccutivo departments of Gov. eminent for them to fill. Not enough that we submit to a ropresentator in Congress of threo-fifths of thoir slave property while not a cent's worth of our property is represented. Nut enough that we havo iniosed upon us the disgusting Obligation of catching their depressed and Oppressed fugitives. Not enough that Our manufacturing interests must be denied the fostering protection of our Govern-' mont for their !enent but you would have us build Universities for them so that they may be educated at a trifling expense. . TO BK lOlSTINUKlV . More Catholic Miiacles. From the Iceman's Journal. The itov, Father Uaudentitis Itosi, ussiuted by tho Rev. Father Anthony Calandii and Luke Baudinelli, all belonging to tho Passion-i.st Monastery of Blessed Paul of the Cross, Birmingham, Pa., have for several weeks been giving missions with marvelous success and effect in different parishes of the Diocese of Brooklyn. These holy and self denying missionaries nave their first mission at St. Joseph's Church, Bedford, in tho bounds of Brooklyn city. The religious interest excited by this first missions was of the most remarkable character. The church was thronged at every service ; more than five thousand went to communion, and at the close of the tuisi-ion, some twelve or fifteen non 'atholirs, soma of them persons of superior education were received into the Church. In the course of th'S mission, it is asserted on cre-libte. authority, that Vol toat pleased to manifest his favor by yeciul graces if an external character.

Our delicately nerved Washington tel egraphic reporter did not send us anything of the speech of Lovejoy, of Illinois, on the filibuster fracas. The reporter for the Lake Shore papers was not so silent. He reported that Mr. Lovejoy was guilty of remarks, of which tho following is an abstract : State Jour. Mr. Lovejoy said if tho neutrality laws needed a change he would vote for it. He protested againsUhis attempt loclcvate into honor a buccaneer, a murderer and a pirate ; as for tho fact they had tho authority of the President, who says that Walker is a fugitive from justice, and escaped from jail, and now they wcro asked to bow to the magnanimity of the criminal who yielded to the officer. Laughter. Great magnanimity, indeed, when a man can't help hitns jlf. Liughter. That was done under the police arrangements every day. If they had to bow to every such man as a hero, they would soon exhaust thcirpow-erofadmiiation. Laughter. If Com.

He entered his pro test against clothing a man with heroism and making him a martyr, when he is simply a rascal. Excessive laughter. Importance of Advertising. Brother Miller of tho Sidney Democrat, says : " We are frequently asked who keeps tho best stock of goods in town, and who sells at tliu lowest prices. 1 lie only reply wo have to make is, examine our advertising columns for yourselves. The different persons who advertise with us keep goods, and sell low. As to others we cannot say anything, as wo never purchase of those who do not patronize us. When you want cheap goods hereafter, buy of thoso who advertize.'' Like Brother Miller, we ulso, are often questioned us to wIki kuep the best stock of goods in town, and our reply is in subsume.! exactly tho samo. We cannot recommend tho mui. who does not advertize, lor we know nothing ubout his goods. Wo know uot whether he has a large or a small stcck, nor do we know how ho sells them. Wo append the following from tho Dayton Empire. , Where shall I go to trade ? People ask thcmg.'lvcs this question almost as often as thoy havo a want to s.ipply. And what must be tho answer? Common sense says "go to tho man who occupies a conspicuous place in the advertising columns of the newspaper." If a man does nut think his business worth advertising, people are apt to take his business at his own estimate and past by on the olh erside. The ground woik of all prosperity is a judicious system of advertizing. Though Jeremiah thcl'ioiihet, cr John tho Rcvclalor, mtynot have said so in exact words, yit had they lived in tlieso latter limes, and had it been submitted to them for consideration, both Jcruniiah and John would have endorsed the proposition at once.
