Tur BLACK NAH. CURRENCY-BLAcK MAIL
FryAscrERs.-We perceive by the organ of the
BLACK Mail Currency-the sc New York Sum
that these financiers, who live by shaving the com
munity, have again commenced fresh movement
upon the interests of the people In that deectable
organ, we find the following announcements
PLAINFIELD BANK.
o. BILLS OF THE PLAINFiELD BASK ARE REDEEMED Al
Iris Office New York SUM during all hours of the day al
the rate Bank bills Of the of New York. viz
-one half OF one per cent
Look at the impudence of this levy of black mai
upon the community Of one-hali of one per cent on
every dollar ISSUED by these shavers. In this city
we have plenty of good banks who redeem their
bills at par-Nthout any shave. These are good
banks-undoubted banks--not banks situated in a
distant town, and composed of men that the public
know not. Are not the bills OF the banks OF New
York quite sufficient for the people of New York
Why then allow a set of black mail fnancers to
issue the currency Of distant bank, merely to
shave the community out OF one-half of one per
cent!
This system is pernicious. Here are distant
banks about which we know nothing, creating
agencies in New York, merely for the purpose OF
the black mail shave. We trust that the cOmnlu-
nifty will take care Of al such currency Get good
New York money-that Is the sales.--future is nc
shave on it, Avoid the Black Mail Currency.
VERY LATE From SoUrn AMERIcA.-By the
arrival of schooner Charles Henry, Capt Griffin, I'VE
have received journals from Bogota to the 24th
January. The annexed are TRANSACTIONS from our
papers.
This couxtry, New Grenada, with its twenty-five
provinces, appears to advance rapidly IN size and
prosperity. According to the it had last year
population Of ,931 1854, showing an increase Of
Pas, 646 since 1885.
We see that Peru continued in commissions. Vi
vance was supreme on the 18th Of November
There had been fight in which twenty or thirty
officers had been taken prisoners 1t is pity that
Gen. Santa Cruz don't take possession of the
try, settle 1t for little whiIe and have beefsteak
for breakfast every morning instead OF revolution.
PERU.-We have received the "Peruanos" of the
10th and 18th OF November. We learn by IT that
the army under the command OF Nieto and Castil-
la had completely defeated, on the 2Sth OF October,
the directorial force under General Guarda. The
engagement took place IN Campo San Antonio y
Santa Rosa, and two generals, eight colonies, hive
lieutenant colonies and great number of other
officers have been taken prisoners. The paper OF
Peru does not contain any official account, bat
from the authentic intelligence which we have
received it is evident that the victory com
plete, and that the whole infantry had been
taken prisoners. and the victors have formed tour
regiments out of them. The pager to which we
aliude tries show the fidelity OF the prisoners,
the cavalry Of Guafda dIsbanded, and the infantry
surrendered on the appearance of Nieto. The
Supreme Director Vivanco, left the capital on
the sixteenth of November, to oppose the VIC
tors Of Moguequa, but till now he has content
ed himself with Furnishing three consprators in
Lima and holding ready the army Of del Sur
What nexi The defeat of Vivanco is very pro-
bable and there will be no end to the sanguinary
drama, which desoiates Peru.
The General has disc har k cd nd has
gone to Join Guarda. The Peruano says Ge-
neral Santacruz has been taken and brought to
Tacnas.
Guayaqnil, and taken command Of the army It is
his intention, is reported convoke an extra or.
binary Congress to abolish the laws regulating the
exchequer: letter from Quito, which we have
mentions that he is going to resign the presi-
dental dignity, and to retain only the command of
the army, but we do not know whether we may
put any faith in this statement
