State of the South, remain Indifferent to it.
A correspondent treating on the same subject
says:
And we would inquire of the elderly Ameri-
can ship-owner and shipper of produce, and the
old merchants in general, fthey do not remember
that there was time mot than 25 or 80
years ago) when the shipping of a few hundred
thousand dollars of specie to England, to make up
our balances, had then no effect whatever on the
PRICE of produce, nor on the CREDIT OF the iona

people pay 90 per cent year to have his long pa

Brown and others to submit to-
1.-The cause then was, the existence OF a means,
known to the sound trader, By which the change
was so reduced instantly, that in one day ali ship
ments of specie would cease, and the banks were
in no fear of stopping themselves or stopping the
merchants. But most unwse administrators OF
the affairs of the country thought the people would
become too happy to have the regulations Of trade
secured as permanently as it is Ia Europe, where
state of affairs in time of peace prevents the DO
ma tide merchant from realizing cash for his paper
or produce at trillng per centage over the legal
rates.

DECISIVE BATTLEs-The decisive battles Of the
world those of which, to use Hallam's words, "a
contrary event would have essentially varied the
drama ofthe world in all its subsequent scenes p"
are numbered as sixteen by Professor Greasy, who
fills the chair of ancient and modern history in the
University of London: they are the grand sub
ject of two volumes by him, just from Bentley
press. These battles are-1. The battle OF Mara
thon, fought 400 B. c. in which the Greeks I'M
der Themistocles defeated the Persians under Oar
ius, thereby turning back tide of Asiatlc lnva-
sion, which else would have swept over Europe:
9. The battle OF Syracus, 413 B. c., in which the
hthenian power was broken, and the west OF Eu-
rope saved from Greek domination: 3. The bat
tie of Arbeia 33I B. c., in which Alexander by
the defeat ofDarius established his power in Asia,
and by the introduction of European civilization,
produced an effect which may even yet be traced
there: 4. The battle Of the Matarus, fought 207
B. c. in which the Romans, under the Consul
Nero, defeated the Carthagenians under Hasdru-
bal, and by which the supremacy of the great re-
public was established s. The victory OF Arm-
MUS, A. d. 8, over the Roman leeions under Va
rus, which secured Gau from Roman domino
ton: 6. The battle of Chalons, A. d. 45l, in
which Aetius defeated Attila the Hun, the self
STYLED 'sScourge of God" and saved Europe from
entire devastation: 7. The battle OF Tours, A. d.
732, in which Charles Martel, by the defeat of the
cardsSGncS, SNefttu me bidnOmncUdn YOKE from
Europe 8. The battle of Hastings, A. D. 1866, in
which William of Normandy was victorious over
the Anglo Saxon Harnod, and the result of which
was the formation of the Anglo-Norman nation,
which now is dominant in The world 8. The bat
tie Of Orleans, \. D. 1929, in which the English
were defeated, and the independent existence OF
France secured: 10. The defeat of the Spanish
Armada, \. d. 1888, which crushed the hopes OF
Papacy in England: II. The battle of Blenheim,
\ d. 17G4, in which Marlborough, by the defeat
of Tallard, broke the power and crushed the am
bilious schemes of Louis NV: ~. The defeat Of
Charles MI, by Peter the Great at Pultowa, A
D. 1863, which secured the stability of the Mus
covite Empire 8. The battle of Saratoga A. D
I177 IN which Gen. GHtes defeated Gen. Dur
goyne, and which decided the fate of the American
revolutionsits, by making France their ally and
other European powers friendly to them: IA. The
battle of Valmy, A. d. 1892, in which the Con
tinental Allies, under the Duke of Brunswick, were
defeated by the French, under Dumouriez, with
out which the French revolution would have beer
stayed: 5. The battle of Waterloo, A. D. 1915
in which the Duke of Wellington hopelessly de
feated Napoleon, and saved Europe from his grasp
