"Two men stopped in this place on Monday
last and late in the afternoon one ofthem pur-
chased at store an article Of The value of Sc

The merchant without hesitation received it,
and gave change in North Carolina money,
with per cen, premium. The next mo- ming
as they left town, one OF them called at the
same store, purchased an article Of 80 value,
giving $40 Newborn note, lang receiving
change in other money, and one oflh ten
dered another $50 Farmers Bank note, al a
store further on their way out Of town, in pay
ment Of an article OF only 20 cents valued
The latter circumstance coming 10 the ears OF
the person to whom the $50 note was passed

Much has been said by the Opposition, both
in and OUT of Congress, on the subject ofle'ter-
writer's from Washington, who misrepresent
them, their motives and their actions. We
give them the following extract from letter
Of one of thei- own party, who figures in the
New-York Inquirer. After giving statement
Of Mr. Kremer's reply 20 Mr.. Wright OF Ohio,
about tackling hen, the writer proceeds.
"Mr. Kremer then resumed his seat, Wills,
