VYe are authorized to announce W . A. Gorman, Esq. as a condidate for Justice of the Peace for Blooming, ton township, to till the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of VV. S. Wright. We arc authorized to announce James S. llawlios, n candidate for Justice of the Peace for Bloomington township, to fill the vacancy of J. W. Lee, whose term of service has expi. red. Heavy failures continue to take place almost daily in the Kastern and Southern cities and distress and ruin seems to hang over the country like a lUck and angry cloud. Our citizens docs not wear that cheerful counten. ancc that they did six, or even three months ago.

The amount of imports for the last fiscal year, ending 30lh September List, wai $1011,980,535. The amount of cxpoits during the sm period, 128,GG3,0 10 Showing an amount of imports over experts of say sixty one millions of dollars. (What portion of this was profits on exports ?) By this statement it would 82cm that we were debtors to foreign na tions the sum of sixty one millions and hence the belief that we have lar gely overtraded abroad. We have not had leisure to exam inc minutely into the matter, we take simply (he summary as published, and we now direct the attention of such R3 many feel an interest in the subject to the lew rcmatks v.'ni'.'i follow. If the Treasury report embraces all iniportit then we can with safety deduct the following items from the gross sumof imports: tst. The coin imported in payment of the indemnities. 2d. The coin and other article? imported by emigrants, bankers, frc. 3d. The value of oil, whalebone and fish. Wc believe the amount of these to be large. Our whale fishery alone, by this Treasury report, 6how the amount of 144,CCO, tons of shipping. Our citizens engaged in this important branch of industry, we believe, "keep no cats that catch no mice." Again wc would enquire, what is the probable amount of actual sales abroad of our various securities, State Bonds, Canal Bonds, Railroad Bonds, &c. This amount is not embraced in our exports but the proceeds are doubtless found in the amount of imports to be jaid fr hereafter, not now. Again what is the probable amount of proceeds of shipments to Eu. rope from ports other than those of United Slates less than the amount of exports which may have gone from us to procure said shipments? Even admilting that no proGts on the vovaire were made, but a simple earning of

freight, wages and expenses. These

items are not embraced in exports, but come to us back again in the shape of imports, and which, with the three items noted above, though they are to swell the amount of imports, are already paid for. The Treasury statement is mide up to 30th September last. It embraces of course all imports up to that period. Nations that export largely in raw materials, like individuals who pay their debt by the production of their industry, generally buy urst ana pay afterwards In our intrecourse with Europe, where the rate of interest i lower than with us, we can better afford to be in debt than to pay in advance. Is it not natural to presume then that a very large amount of our imports were intended by both parties to be paid for by the coming crop. With reference then to our last year's imports, ending 30th September the "coming crop" is now goirg forward. The price of cotton has declined from last year's rate; but will not the increased amount in quantity meet the decline in price? Will not the present and late long period of oppression in our monetary affairs, tend largely to diminish cur reent imports, and aid also in increasing the amount of exports of foreign goods already imported. We exported last year, endinc; 30;h ; Septembffrj $l0G,9l6,6C0 of domestic ', projuctions, and 21 ,74G,3CO of for i eign productions. We dont think a j man in trade would be regarded in a "b:ld VV!,V' wl, bougbt 129 worth of c-inp .n afrftnf it inul(i o a hart' : matter if his credit was not sound for .yl, whilst it was showii that his business whs going on, and his Moc k in trade wa good. l or this is the worst view cl the cases, as shown by the Treasury report . But if the enquiries ne have made above are sound, this bi'. ince of sGl is very mi tcrially leduced.

(ional resources now in the course of development, the Treasury report might show a balance of 120 millions instead ol Gl milling, and occasion no cause for alarm, provided the natural energies of the country were not crip pled as they now are by unauthorised Treasury orders, and the operation of laws which were passed avowedly to obviate what were deemed greater evils. Our overtrading, if bo it may ba called, is at home, and among our selves, and this has been brought about by destroying the only barrier that former wisdom had constructed to guard against this evil. 1'roduCtive industry is the substratum on which the prosperity of a nation rests a sound currency is the evidence of and the protection of this industry a sound currency is not exclusively gold and silver, for coin cannot perform the duty of exchange, it may answer in one community that holds no communion with other communities, but no further. In an extensive country like ours we must U3e paper to perform the exchange. The paper must be reliable if a man takes it in Maine, and sends it in a letter or carries it to New Orleans or to Chicago, and can there exchange it for gold or silver dollar for dollar it is better than either, because it costs less to carry or convey it. Such a currency we had, but we were not satisfied with if; some thought we could have a "better cup rncy,M and in making "the expert

For a few days past, great leeling and ex ' citeuient have existed in 11113 neighoornood, occasioned by the appearance and horrible work of mad dogs.

Hi mo. lib, 1M57. Boston, April 2. A s;iiior applied at the Savings Bank for the Seamen, yesterday to make a deposite. V hile transacting his business he mentioned an incident which happily illustrates the great advantages which have accrued to the Poor by the destruction of the U. States Bank, and the circulation of the better currncy which Gen. Jackson and Colonel Benton have given to the country. He 6tated that he was a seaman of the United States ship Potomac, and that he had been recently discharged and paid oil' at Norfolk Virginia. He was paid in Ihe notes of the Deposite Bank, as he would for merly have been paid in notes of the United States Bank. On his remonstrating against (his mode of payment, and observing that he wished to take hi3 money to Boston, he was told that the bills would be as good as gold and that he could convert them there into paper which he could use without charge or loss. On this assurance he accepted the money. He brought it to Boston. He found that it was not worth here one hundred cts. on the jdollar, as the bills of the United States bank used to be. Unable to get rid of it, he ap. plied to a broker to exchange it and he finally exchanged it for Boston Bills at a loss of seven and a half per cent. This is the currency that was to be more uniform than that of the U. S. Bank! Here was a precious sample of the better currency! Here was a poor sailor's first experience of the blessings wbicn ms government bad bestowed upon him, and thou-

How unequally the good things of this world are divided! LITTLE THINGS. It is a great point of wisdom, to know how to estimate little things. Of those which are evidently great, everyone can see the importance, but true wisdom looks at these great objects before they have arrived at their full size. She considers that it is principally in this earlier state that they come under the power of man, and can be arranged, modified, in. creased, or extinguished, at his pleas, ure: whereas, in a more advanced stage, they set at defiance all his ef. fort. On the countrary, it is the part of folly to wait till evils have at. tained their maturity before they are altacked: for then that which might at first have been easily crushed, be. comes irresistible.
