iTi?" We notice that the citizens of Cincinnati, New Albany, Louisville and other points on the Ohio river have contributed largely for the relief of the sufferers by yellow fever in New Orleans.

itS?" We learn that the mortality from yellow fever in Algiers, La., (not reported in the papers) is even greater, in proportion to the population, than in New Orleans. Algiers is near New Orleans.

RIP The new locomotive "Crawfordsvillc," for the N. A. and Salem Railroad, landed at New Albany a few davs ago, is said to be a much larger than any now on the road. says the Albany ledger, four more locomotives the same size as the one above named, now at Pittsburgh, awaiting a rise in the river for shipment to that place. The rapidly increasing business of this road has rendered it necessary for the company to procure larger, more powerful, and consequently swifter engines, in order to accommodate, in the shortest possible time, the demands of shippers upon it, and the directory arc evidently determined that no more just cause for complaint shall exist in this than in the other affairs connected with the management of the road.

/T^~Thc Crawfordsvillc, Frankfort, Ivokomo, and Fort Way tie Railroad, says the State Sentinel, is to be put under contract, by the 20th of October, from Crawfordsvillc to Frankfort and Kokoaio. This road, when completed and consolidated with the Evansville and Crawfordsvillc road, will form a continuous line from Fort Wayne, through the richest portion of the Wabash Valley to Evansville-—passing through Frankfort, Rockville, Terrc llaute, Yincennes, and Princeton—besides connecting great points, and making on the route valuable railroad connections. The great atr-

We call the attention of o-:r mer­

chants to the advertisement in to-day's paper of Messrs. BKOOKS it BKOWX, of New Albany, Ind. This firm says the New Albany Ledger, are now receiving their fall supplies, and we hazard nothing in saying that their stocks are as varied and extensive as can be found in any western house, we care not where located. In hardware, cutlery, queens ware, glassware, crockery, and kindred branches of trade, their stocks of goods are immense, and that they will sell on as favorable terms as any other establishment, those wlio have compared their prices with the prices of other houses very well know. Messrs. B. & B.

are daily receiving fresh additions to their stock of iroods.

We understand that the residence

in Indianapolis of Gen. Allen May, Agent of Slate, was entered by two villains, a few days since, in the absence of the family, and rilled of several articles. A Mr. Jelliet, the man having charge of the house, entered while the Jobbers were in, but was immediately knocked down, when they made their escape.

It is said the Raihoad between this

place and Greencastle, will be completed in about six weeks. This will open a much nearer and quicker route from this place to Indianapolis than the present one via of Lafayette.

OHIO STATE STOCK BANKS. A meeting of the representatives of the State Stock Banks of the State of Ohio, having been held in this city on the 18th and 19th instants, for the purpose of inquiring into the frauds said to have been perpetrated upon said banks, by putting into circulation the genuine notes of said banks with forged signatures and filling up, the undersigned presett to the public the 'of their investigations:—

Sentinel. 1. Thai the amount of such paper in cir-

be, by means of the information here giv en, easily detected. 2. That in all such frauds, the name of the Register, as well as that of the Presidents and Cashiers, and the filling up, are forged, and the numbering is imperfectly executed, and is in striking contrast «ith the genuine figures of the Register on the true notes. 3. That we have discovered no frauds of this description on the following named banks, to-wit:

Union Bank of Sandusky City Franklin Bank of Portage connty Bank of Commerce, Cleveland Merchant's Bank, Massillon Stark County Bank Pickaway County Bank, and Iron Bank of Ironton. 4. Measures have been taken to procure a new plate on which to print the circulating notes for said banks, as soon as the same can be prepared, and that no more impressions of the old plate will be issued.

As the circulation of all of said banks is well secured by a deposit of Ohio and United States Stocks in the hands of the Auditor of State, and is unquestionably good, (with the exception of the frauds above named,) we hereby caution the public against any sacrifice on it, and assure them that no loss can possibly attend the holder of anv of the genuine notes of said banks.

PltEPARATIOXS FOR WAR. Rev. Mr. Prine, one of the editors of the New York Observer, is now traveling in Europe, and in describing a milit^y review in Scotland, he remarks:

All over Great Britain and Ireland the preparation for war is going on 12,000 soldiers to-day are to be reviewed on the Park in Dublin. The state of things away in the East is the pretext, but the real cause is nearer home. Louis Napoleon has his eye upon England, and he remembers Waterloo. There may be a fight on a sudden, and every public meeting held here, every debate in Parliament, and the constant talk of the people, show that they are looking out for it. It is also gratifying to me to hear it always added, "If we do have a fight with France we expect help from America."

It is really a shame, rediculous in

the extreme, that the streets of Crawfordsvillc should be suffered to remain in so foul and filthy condition as the yare at this time. Whose du'y is it to attend to such matters? If it belong to the supervisor, he should see

On Tuesday evening last, during O O

the absence of Mr. F. II. Fry and Lady, a couple of individuals whose intentions were robbing, entered his dwelling—lit a candle and ordered the children to leave, then proceeded to ransack the premises, but the ed. timely appearance of a neighbor prevented them from making further depredations.— The best thing to dispel such gentlemen is a well loaded gun properly used.

Ollt NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. NEW YORK, August 20, 1053. MR. EDITOR:—We are now enjoying a kind of a demi-autumn, so cool and bracing has the weather become—the change however, is too great from the excessive heat of the early part of the month: but in New York there is no middle ground occupied in these transitions from heat to cold, and on those persons who are unaccustomed to these sudden changes it has a very unpleasant effect. These are attributed to the nearness of our city to the ocean. -Gotham has not yet received her wonted loveliness and bustle, the Gothamites have not yet returned to town. Business is very dull, and considerable tightness in the money market, there are however, strong hopes of its becoming easier in a short time. Our merchants made ample preparations for a large fall trade by increasing their stocks and extending their stores, in fact some of the finest specimens of our city architecture, are the new stores just erected in Liberty. Dey, Warren, and Chambers streets.

The number of visitors to the Crystal Palace are increasing daily since the weather has become more pleasant yesterday the visitors were 6,600 which is an indubitable

sign of its popularity. A report has gone forth to the effect, that the exhibition was a failure, and I think most unjustly, for under the present circumstances it was impossible to form a fair conclusion as to its future success, and to judge correctly we must wait until the New Yorkers return to town, and the exhibition becomes complete. The most of the articles which have been received lately are the most beautiful and interesting, and have filled up a number of vacancies on the floor of the main building. Exhibitors are, also to blame in not sending! their contributions earlier, soastohave been ready at the opening.

From Washington it is said there is still much trouble about the mission to France,

ise of the place. A committee of New Yorkers has-been on pressing Mr. Bancroft for France, but the suggestion finds little favor. Mr. Cushing has also been named. The President has a desire to appoint Robert McLane of Maryland, as minister resident at Constantinople, but there is a strong opposition from his own state. It is supposed however that he will triumph. Judge Young, formerly clerk of the House of Representatives, has been appointed to assist Gov. Gorman in investigating the alleged frauds upon the Minnesota Indians. The Gardiner mine commission has arrived.— There is a rumor abroad, that they will corroborate the report of Slocum and others— no traces of the mines found.

From New Orleans we learn that the Picayune has received advices from El Paso, Mexico, to the 22d of July, which report the existence of great excitement, in consequence of a disturbance between a party of Americans and Mexicans at 'hat place. It appears that an American who had just returned from California, was seized by the Mexicans for some alleged offence and cast into prison, on hearing of which circumstance, a party of his friends commenced an attack upon the jail for the purpose of effecting his escape. The guard fired upon them, and one person was killed and one wound-

The yellow fever still continues to ra^e O in NeV Orleans. There has been great difficulties in burying the dead, and the authorities have been compelled to burn them.

We have had no advices later than the America's from Europe. By her we learn that the Eastern question has at length reached a crisis. The Western powers have just discovered that the Emperor of Russia has been fooling them to gain time Louis Napoleon has sent a request to him to leave the provinces, otherwise he will consider his continuance to occupy them by his troops as an infringement on the rights of Turkey, and a just cause for war. England has been obliged to second this demand of France, and if it is not complied with by a

given time, the commanders of the allied fleets are ordered to proceed at once to Constantinople. The Sultan has also given notice to Nicholas to leave his dominions, otherwise he will resort to arms, a measure
