BUSINESS OPERATIONS,

When we speak. IN general terms, OIL
the present suffering condition Of the
country, we refer particularly. of course,
to the currency aud the exchanges. not
vet materially relieved from the derangn-
ment into which they wetc thrown by the
wanton and wilful war undertaken by the
Executive against the late Bank OF the
United States. The extent of that de.
rangement in some parts of the country is
absolutely ruinous, in comparison to its
cxten, here. But, even here, it is oppres,
sve enough. We cannot perhaps give a
better idea Of it than to state circumslan
ces which have occurred within the range
the last week, as follow:
We had occasion to draw upon our agent
in Richmond, in Virginia, at sight, for six
hundred dollars. We paid nine dollars
exchange in converting it into money Of
the District Of Columbia.
We had occasion TO remit three hundred
dollars to Boston, in Massachusetts. We
paid nine dollars premium for q draft on
Boston fer that amount
We had to pay our account for postage
at the Post Office in this city. amounting
to one hundred dollars. The money
received in current payment at our office
was Virginia money. To convert one
hundred dollars Of that money into Dis
trict bank notes we paid one dollar and q
half, and to convert the District notes int o
specie lin which we are required to pay
our postage billy we paid three dollars and
q half.
With these facts within our own knows
ledge, such as occur every day repeatedly
in this city, under the very eyes and nose
of the Executive, it is in vain to tell us
that calls WE'LL" or that all things ,ciU be
well, until we find some things getting
beiter.- National Inteiirencer,

AN OLD MAN.

On Monday. a goodly number Of citizens
followed to his long resting place Mr.. VIM.
Butler, aged 1903 years, and we looked for
some notice Of the man who has been 90
long mingled with the affairs Of life, though
in humble station. We were wont TO
meet the old gentleman in the street, and
talk with him Of things Of other days.
He had been soldier in his youth, and
fought in various battles" Among the
earliest of his military movements, was
that with Braddock's army, he being o
soldier therein, and sharing in the dscom-
future and danger Of the defeat. Before he
went westward, he was encamped, if we
recolect Alright, in the woods, away up at
the corner Of Sixth and Chestnut street.
| and pleasant was it to hear the old gentle.
man, as he leaned upon his crutch, dis
course Of Washington and the scenes in
which he had followed with his eve that
good man. Some Of the family must have
stores Of anecdotes from The deceased his
long life enabled him to see much, and his
good nature made him cheerful and talk,

From ARKANSAS we learn that JOHN
WILSON late Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives Of that STATED has been
tried, in the Court for Pulaski county, upon
an indictment for the murder of JOSEPH J..
ANTHONY, one OF the Members of that
House, and found Not GUILTY of Murder,
but guilty of jnsllfable Homicide. Unless
all the accounts Of this affair were essen
tally false, this must be admitted 10 be q
very extraordinary verdict.-Wat Int.
The Baltimore Patriot thus Justly re-
marks: at will be remembered that the
crime was committed during the session Of
the House for words spoken in debatc.--
Major An,hony's offence consisted in hav-
ing made a remark which the speaker,
Wilson, construed, justly or not We will
not say, as reflection upon his integrity.
Without any explanation sought and with
out single word iu reply, the speaker
drew his Bowie knife, and deliberately
walked down to Mr.. Anthony's seat and
then and there killed him. The victim
stepped back, drew knife, and raised a
chair in his defence; but the onset OF
Wilson was too murdorous to be thus par
rieG, and a wound was inflicted which
caused almost instant death, Yet under
these circumstances the act is character.
