The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1852-10-22

during the whole day yesterday, upon MIR. Pur'
cell. He had not the slightest objection TO il,
for he was and is prepared to take up his notes
as fast as they come in-nay, he would do so
were they trebly ss numerous as they really
are. Itdoes not hurt him, but it does do great
injury to the public, which is put to great in
convenience by panic which causes them to
throw overheard currency as good as was
ever offered by any State bank-a currency
convertible a. any moment either into gold or
silver, or into Virginia bank notes.
| When Mr.. Purcell became aware Of the state
| OF things, he Immediately addressed card to
the public, in which he advised all holders ofhi
| notes to take not cent less than par for them;
because they would be redeemed on presenta
ton at his counter. He is. TO our certain know
ledge, prepared to stand storm far greater
than this. He has deposited funds already at
various points where his notes circulate most
largely, TO redeem them when presented. The
man who takes one cent less for them than their
face calls for, is dupe and b.ockhead.
P. S. We learn that Mr.. Purcell burns his
notes as soon as he receives them. The peO-
pie will see the pass to which their folly has
brought them. This was a circulation equal
to silver or gold. They have managed to drive
il out for premiums were offered yesterday eve
ming for small notes of the Manufacturers
Bank. and none could be had at any price
What will the miserable bloc kheads who have
produced this panic do for small change?
Roam WAGRa-ln tho article npdor NH q
heading in Yesterdays paper, we stated that
1--WE observe that the manufacturers of tobac
CO have sent in petition for the repeal of an
ordinance requiring them to board the negroes
employed in their factories" This statement
involves an unintentional error. The ordi-
nance has been reported to the City Council,
but has not yet become law. 1t will pro
badly be acted upon at the meeting of the
Conncil on Monday next, and we trust affir
matively. The petition will be against the pas
sage of the ordinance.
PREPARATIONS FOR RECEIVING THE News.
"A few days ago, the editors Of the New York
papers published a notice TO the inspectors of
elections, earnestly requesting them, in the
ct first, in order that the Press OF the U. States
may satisfy the anxiety of the public in few
hours after the polls are closed. The editors
likewise issue a circular, signed by the tee-
graph news agent, requesting Geographic ope-
rators, newspaper agents, and correspondents,
to observe the following rules:
1st-To send the actual majority in each
tI,a s,ol
obtained, stating clearly the name of the candi-
date having the majority.
2d-To send the probable majority in each
county, based on the returns from one quarter,
one-half, or three-fourths; Of the towns of said
county, when the full vote cannot be obtained
stating the number of towns on which the es-
tjmated maj ofity is based.
3d-To mention the name of the State to
which the county belongs.
4th-To avoid sending The returns from sim
gle towns, except those Of large city-as large
TOR instance as Pittsburg, Troy, and above
those in population.
5th-I0 drOid rumOrS 0tdU sorts, and take
returns from reliable individuals only.
6th-To avoid reporting losses and gains, as
they only tend TO cucumber the telegraph wires
and cause confusion in the returns.
kossUTH AND THE REVOLUTIONARY LEAGUE.
"A letter from kossuth, addressed to the Con-
gress Of the American Revolutionary Fund for
Europe, appears in the newspapers, in which
he gives encouraging accounts OF the progress
OF the liberia! cause in Europe. He says the
Hungarans are prepared to rise en- maSSe on
the first summons in Germany, the idea of
Republic is daily gaining ground, and the ne
cessty for united action s now clearly estab
lished. He urges the necessity of increasing
the means OF carrying on the revolution when
hoUnn The no Erht
mences, he says, the Hungarian scrip which
is in circulation will receive a market value, so
that it will be possible for those who may find
it convenient to wait the issue Of the war to re
alize the value OF their Stock Three German
patriots, he conceives, should be chosen to ma
mage the fund. The general agency of the Hun
garian loan was entrusted by Kossuth. before
he left this country, to the German Committee
in Philadelphia. The instructions he left shows
he says, that it was not his intention to apply
the avails Of that loan exclusively TO his own
country; but he is disposed to place portion
of il to the emancipation OF Germany

LosGEvITY.-Billy, the property of the late
Mrs. Sarah Ingram, died on Friday nigh, in this
city, at the age of one hundred and seventeen
years. He was a native of Hanover county,
Virginia, born in the service of Peter Garland,
Esq, was at Norfolk when it was burnt in l775
ana was pressed into his Majesty's service by
Governor Dunmore. Was at the battle of Great
Bridge, and remembered all about the siege of
Yorktown. Billy was strong, hale and hearty
even TO the day OF his death. He was employ
ed as drayman until he was IS years old, and
at the age of 6S could roll hogshead of sugar
weighing 1900 pounds on his dray without as
sistance. He was always good humored, we'll
disposed and scrupulously honest. 1t is a re-
markable coincidence, that for the last sixty
years he lived in family, three of the inmates
of which have died within the last two years,
two at the ages of 90 and ga, and one at the
age Of 76.-Norfok Herald.
Thomas Butler King, Collector of the Gus.
toms at San Francisco, has resigned that
office, and Beverly G. Sanders been appointed
10 his place. The cause of the change is said
to be that difference of opinion had arisen be
tween Mr.. King and the Government relative
to the amount of duties which ought legally to
