Kverv one, who has witnessed the operation of our present militia system, must be sensible of its glaring defects, of its total inadequacy to subserve the purpose of which it was originally designed and. of the necessity for such a i ii.inge a wiii place it upon a Dasts ci respcetabiliiy and t fiiciency. To abandon the system entirely w ould be to make us dependent for dence ngnhrst foreign or domestic foes upon a standing army, which has always been looked upon as of danger ous tendency in repuencs, is contrary o th" spiiit of our institutions and the wishes of the people, besides being j"us(lv regarded w ith jealousy. e should therefore never lose sight of our main stay for defence, but cherish it with care; study to improve it !v all praoticabu- means, to render it as perfect as possible, so that it may cease to be, w hal it nov is in fact, a 7 bv-vvord and a reproach. The militia musters which usually ke place, and are attended only by those who are unable to pay their tines. re worse than useless; they improve not the know ledge of men in dull or the of'.icers in tactics; but, on the contrary, tend to demoralize the habits mil are an actual waste of time, es peciuliv to those who rely upon manual labor 1; r subsistence. It is incumbent upon statesmen, as a matter of policy upon philanthropists, as a measure to lessen if not to prevent heman miseiy and upon patriots, who desire to see their country in the best posture fjr defence to devise some system winch shall equalize the burthens, and be acceptable to the people. Voluntary associations offer the most leasible plan for effecting the object, nut these cannot he general, in conse quence of the expense attendant upon them, if the expense could be lessen ed by fui nishing all the necessary accouterments at the public charge, the ranks wonid soon be filled up. :.:oue iv.ii L v.it excttejmext.

This call brought out not the decent mechanics of the city but those who can get no employ under any consideration, and w ho, from their drunkenness and immorality, are a disgrace to their profession. They assembled to the nuiio or of two or three hundred on ;., public square, but, it being evi-d'-n! h in the tone ol the proceedings iha! no'.hi.ig bvs than a mob was intended, the puhee cliiccrs proceeded to anest ;!e diunken spokesman of the as-embly a raggamufiin named Leo.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The country is in a most remarkable condition. Almost every one is full of beef and business is grow ing fatter and wiser every day is increasing the siz.e of his shoulders the number of his family the rotundity of his legs, or

the extent of his riches and yet both north and south, east and west, aie lashing themselves into a fury searching for conspiracies hunting out dangers and manifesting the utmost spirit of alarm, at some impending disinfl ations of Providence. Titus O.ites is inroad surely. It ul roads and canals ire running over the country in every direction, blending and uniting all secions into one great whole. Vet peole cry out the Union will he disolved the Union will Vie dissolved'. The country was never so prosperous is 1 1 is at this moment; et there was never a greater cry ot dangers sounded thro" the land. Comfort, luxuries, and happiness, were never so accessible, or so easily acquired y et the whole na tion almost swear thev are ruined they are on the verge of destruction they are on the edge of a yawning gulph. vVOOI-. This article says a Philadelphia pa per, is becoming one of the greatest importance to our country. Indeed, it would be difficult to account for its culture having so long been neglected, w here all the means of producing it are so abundant. We know of no part of the world where Wool has been higher on an average, lor tne last ten vears. than in (his country; and no one better calculated to raise it for export than tins. Instead of making it an article ol remilttance to Europe, we. have been md are at present impel ling it in large quantities, the importer realizing it is said, a fair profit for his enterprise. Ilv tiie growth and manufacture of Wool, England has added immensely to her wealth and power. Her clip' has been estimated for some vears past lo exceed one hundred and forty millions of pounds annually; while here with a soil better adapted lo its growth. with lands at about one eighth the price, and ten times more extensive. wc do not produce more than seventy - five millions of pounds. Cincinnati, September 10. oi r vi:;i:tai!le and iue:r mvukf.t. We have never seen, even in the largest cities of Europe, a vegetable muiket superior to that we have had for the last three months, and still continue to have. The variety is great, the quantity immense, and the quality as good as ever grew. Our Fruit market too has abounded in almost every variety of fruit that climate can produce Strawberries, Cherries, Currants, Uasbcrries, Damsons, Pears, in variety, Apples, in variety and quality never surpassed, Grapes, and although last not least, Peaches, w hich were supposed (o have been nearly all destroyed by the late frosts in the spring, yet our maiket abounds with them, although of an inferior quality, that attention not having been paid to their culture which so delicious a fruit, (as a good peach.) richly deserves. There was not less than a hundred and Jifljj Ijushclnhi market this morning; we noticed live wag ons entirely loaded with them. There hive been as many as four hundred wagons at a time repeatedly at the Fifth street market this season, and once or twice the number has reached four hundred and fifty. 'e find that we have omitted to mention one fruit w hich is just coming into season, and which in our opinion is one of the richest in tin; world, but, very unfortunately units reputation, il is the natural produce of our forest and, cheap of course; it is richer both in flesh and flavor than the Uanaiu, or the Plantain, which are so much oughl for in our cities; it is the humble Pa irjj-izc. Post. French Claims. Uecent information from Paris strengthens the hope that the American Indemnity (the fr. e millions id' dollars and interest) has been or will be speedily paid. As it :vas in the President's message (hat umbrage was given to Ij:u PliHipve thai tiie supposed wound was inflicted on the honor ef France Ihe exo'atiation or reparation would bo best accomplished in tiie li'-x! message. The treaty being once fulfilled, the Pres ide)d might easily n know ledge t hat all suspicions and grounds of suspicion, of bad faith hive been removed thai credit is due to the French Executive for the zealous and full discharge of all official obligations. Such might be the mutual understanding. JS'at. Gazette. TRAVELLING. Our curiosity has prompted us to ascertain, as far as practicable, the number of sojourners in our city, from lime to time. With this view, we have counted the names registered on four of the principal hotel books, for the

month of August, and, find the same to be rather rising three thousand. Taking into consideration the numerous taverns and boarding houses in the city, this number can scarcely be one half of those who visit Cincinnati; and as

August is usually one of the dullest business months of the year, it would not be too high an estimate to place the annual number of strangers passing through this city, and stopping for a longer or shorter period, at ninety thousand. With a like inquisiliveness, wc have also counted the names of passengers on the register hooks of sieam boats, during the last week, whose destination have been beyond the city, and h ive not stopped a-hore longer than the boats remained, and find the number to be three Iruvlrcd enul Jifh. This average for the year would make eighteen thousand two hundred passengers; which, added to the former, makes neatly one hundred and. ten thoiiband passengers. Our Eastern friends can form a small idea, from this:, of the extent of travelling in the West. Ci n. Gazelle. Potatoes. Our whoh vegetable market is at this time of the very first quality. Potatoes, especially, are of superior size and Haver, such as have never befoie been in the country. Among the finest we have seen throughout t lie season, was a quantity raised and sold in market by Mr. Henry Jouidan, who, by tin; way, is a very successful cultivator of vegetables. A few vears ago Mr. Jourd an was extensively engaged in merchandize in this city. He failed, and lias since sought, in the resources of his own industry, and by the labor of his own hands, the means of sustaining his family. If more men would thus direct their energies, instead of hanging up friends and relatives, it would tend very much to improve the general condition of our population. Cin. Guzctte. 1cm:fits of auvkutisino. We are pleased to see Ly an Editorial in this morning's Gazette, that our merchants are some of them (and we doubt not all will soon see the utility of it) adopting this mode of making known what they have for sale. If generally and uni formly adopted, it would double (he amount of business done in this place in one year. We riyrr of more than one instance ofWeslcrn merchants coming to this city to purchase dry goods, and after referring to the papers, as all business men do in all places, and not seeing a single article of dry goods advirtised. naturally concluded there were, none here, and departed for the East immediately.

Could we understand and relied upon one half of what most mothers at that time say and do to us, we should draw conclusions in favor of our own importance, w hich would render us insupportable for years.

Since the 1st of the month, business has been gradually improving although not yet so active as it probably will be. Considei able qualities of dry good and other merchandise have been sent out of t!ie city. Tiie stocks of (he former are unusually large, and prices well sustained. Since Friday his', (he weather has been unfavorable to out-door business, being showery and cool. Several boats, however, have departed for New Orleans, laden as deep as ihe present stage of the Ohio would permit. Fi.ouit has advanced since last week, fo 5,75 from slore. The arrivals are limited sales at the canal, were made at 5,G2 l-'2. Pork. We advance our quotations (wo dollars per barrel. Of clear and mess, there is hut little on hand; and no prime, that we are advised of. Wihskkv, is Fold freely as it arrives, at 33 cts. We quote this as the current price. A lot, however, was fold yester day at the canal, for 3-1 cts. The supply on hand is daily diminishing, Hiid the amount received less in quantity, than the former week.
