TIMELY WARNING.-Our friends have been
reminded from time to time, through the COL
umns of the Express, of the immense number of
new shaving shops, styled in common parlancc
banks, which are going into operation through

ofthcse paper mills, accompanied with large
losses to the bill holders. Large amounts of
this seductive and highly ornamental currency,
finds its way, through the instrumentali'y of
spectators and hired agents, into the West
aud among our people, who have little or no
knowledge Of the gcnuineness of the bills, or
the responsibility of those who issue them AS
the people in their collective capacity have dis
claimed any connection with such speculative
and dangerous monopolies, it would seem to be
equally incumbent upon them, to avoid, as far
as possible, any connection with them as ndi-
viduals. If we would avoid the evils of such a
contagion, we should reject any contact with
the article which may produce it. "a word TO
the wise" ought TO be sufficient.

ed by single defeat, when encountering his
cnun'rys enemies, either at home or abroad
We believe he has never before this laid
down his arms, in legal form and with benefit of
clergy, to the fair foes of mankind; but to such
enemies what soldier would not surrender his
laurels? The General has added another leaftohis
history by his Florida defeat and capture. We
