Extract of a letter from one of Gen. Jackson's
aids, to gentleman in Petersburg, dated
:" Nashciiie, May Ia, 1919.
Since our return from the eastward,
the general has labored under most Sc
we're indisposition, from which he is now
but convalescent. Such was the violence
OF ms attack for some time, That we had
NILE hopes ot his recovery but the God
OF Battles Is yet unwilling TO disband our
chief, and has issued his orders accord
ingiy. His disease is now nearly remov
ed, and hope in "a few weeks his health
will be quite restored"
BALTIMORE, May 3l.-When an ex
citement exists, so suddenly produced, as
was Witnessed in this city on Friday and
Saturday last, we find full excuse for the
anxiety with which persons crowded to
The banks TO demand payment of small
sums OF money; and, when il is recol-
iecied hat every person had right to
make the demand, no other blame can be
attached 10 them than the inconsi,ierate
haste with which they proceeded, which
tended TO produce confusion, and increase
the alarm, that every good citizen would.
or reflection, aid in preventing or allav-
ing.
Ii Is unfortunate, that, on such occa-
sions, the motives of men are too often
misunderstood, and matters really unim-
portant IN themselves, are upinientionaIy
imagined and misrepresented until rnmor
changes the character of Indifferent or
friendly actions, so as to produce in the
public mind Misrepresentation, where il is
not merited.
Weare induced TO make the above re.
marks, from being convinced thai The
circumstances which had caused the re-
mark IN the paper of Saturday that one
or two citizens had acted otherwise Than
friendly 10 the banks" were misunderstood.
and thai the persons whom rumor has
implicated as uniriendly must STAND ac.

banks, or To Increase the excitement
which prevailed. We are also authorized
ana requested TO state, that The anecd0tc,
communicated for publication) which we
published on Saturday, is incorrect, the
person who wrote II having given what
was merely the rumor of the day. The
gentleman alluded 10 did not draw from
the bank the whole balance ofbis account
nor did he offer to deposit the money
which he received from one bank in any
o'her-and OF course did not experience
any such refusal as is mentioned. The
Tact, nt which we have no doubt, that the
gentleman owns a large amount Of stock
IN the Mechanics Bank, is strongly cor
rOborailve OF his own assurance, that his
conduct was moi Influenced by any mo-
