Is it possible that Mr.. Conant denies that
the issuing OF notes by a corporation to be
used as money or currency, is banking!
assert that that very right is the highest
privilege ever granted by State to corpo.
ration, is leading branch Of the business OF
almost all banks incorporated in America.
and is therefore "banking" in the highest
sense Of the term. And further assert
that none but the State b nix and Branchrs
and the "Free Banks" can lawfully exer-
else this privilege in Indiana, and th,t Mr..
Conant's corporations are not"Free Banks"
nor "State Banks" nor branches Of ii e
State Bank, and therefore have no authority
for these issues; that those issues are made
in fraud, violation and defiance of the con-
stitution OF Indiana, and OF the people who
made the constitution and laws; and if there
were money or property basis (Which
there is not) Tor these issues, still being il.
sued in violation Of law, every man no
pays cut one OF the bills, receiving value in
return, is liable TO take the bill back and
pay in good money, as if he had passed

So | understand Mr.. Conant to mean that
his C ncerns are "Stock Banks" when he
says (See his article of to-day): at is true
that the notes of said company are pur-
chased by Conant & Co. at par for other Slate
Stock notes of this State' What can be

appears that Redfeld, New York Publish

read some extracts from the vicious forth

misfortune to peruse. The incidents are
separately, trifing, silly, foolish, and occa-

loathsome vaDidi,y-the wit is of the thinesi

JOU r. Y n T..
CITY OF EVANSVILLE.
SATURDAY MORNING, :::::::::::::::Nu
THE CHI MEA.

AS the eyes OF the whole civilized world
are now dir icted to this spot, it may net be
amiss 10 give a brief sketch of history.
The Crimea, as is well known to our rea-
ders, is peninsular in the North part OF the
Black Sea, laying between that sea aud the
Sea OF Azoi, and is connected with the main
land by an sthmus five or six miles wide. II
is only 225 miles in circuit, and contains
some 1912 square miles. In surface, three
fourths of it is an undulating plain, with
fertile SOL and an extremely luxuriant vege
tation. The extreme north part, near the
Isthmus, contains salt marshes and lakes,
from which salt is manufactured to supply
the neighborlng Russian provinces, and for
exports. The southern portion is quite billy
and even mountainous, some OF the elevations
reaching to the height of 1900 feet. These
hills are covered with heavy forests, which
yield excellent ship timber, and the valleys
produce al sorts of grain, chiefly wheat bar
ley and milIet. also fine garden fruits, and
grapes from which is made excellent wines.
TWAS known to the ancien,s as Cherson-
esus Taurica, of late years as Grim Tartary
and now Crmea. Its first inha btants were
the Cimmerians, but about 600 years before
the Christian era, the Greeks CONNIE need
trading here, and reduced it to their subjec-
tion. II was then successfully occupied by
the Goths, Huns and others till A. ID. l44l,
when it became dependant OF the Turkish
government, and so remained I'LL IVA, when
it became indePen 'ent. bat in 1888 was an
nexed to Russia, and las since then remained
province OF that empire. As soon as IL
came into the possession Of the Russians,
they commenced the town of Sevastopol, AZ
excellent harbor for ships of all kinds, aid
especially for men OF war. The various an
clent remains, antique monuments aud curl
Gus caves in its vicinity would seem to ndi-
cate that it occupies the site of an ancient
town. The excellence OF its harbor has in.
.duced the Russian government 10 foriify il
stronlly, and they have increased its fortfi-
cations as their navy on the Black Sea has
increased, till it is one Of the strongest for
tresses in the world, and seaward is consid-
cred impregnable.
The Crimea was once very densely popu-
dated, but the troubles and connections just
previous to It's annexation to Russia caused
many TO em crate, aud after that annexation
many of the Tartar Inhabitants removed, so
that in 1900 there were only about SO, 900 in
habitants on the peninsula. Since then, a
long peace, its fertile soil and mild. climate,
together with the building OF Sevastopol,
has much increased its population. But it
has again become the theatre Of war, the
largest armies known to m ,dern times are
now tramPling over its viney and gar.
gest armies known to modern times are now
transPirirg there which not only attract the
eyes OF the whole world now, but which will
probably dictate the programme of history
for centuries To come.

THE CHALLENGE.-This new, large and
splendid stern-wheel novelty arrived here
from Cincinnati evening before last, on her
first trip, and bound for New Orleans. She
is under command of Capt. Crooks, formerly
Of the Clipper No. 2. The Challenge has
four engines besides her Doctor engine. On
the stern she has two large wheels, each
with two engine propelling powers. These
give her all the advanta es of a side-wheel
boat, in backing, turning, &c. She rounded
out from our wharf beautifully, and very
handsomely illustrated the advantages OF
these double-wheels. That she is large
sized boat, may be judged of from the fact
that she was barely able to get through the
Louisville Canal. She is fine passenger
boat in every particular, and very light
.draught.

The Memphis Wing has been compelled,
for the reasons stated below, TO reduce lis
size, and the Eagle and Enquirer was to fol-
low the week after. Thus are new spa pers a II
over the country either reducing their d.
mansions, or increasing their prices. The
mammoth ?apers generally curtail their size,
while the smaller Dailies increase their sub.
scription prices. We have chosen to make
all increase in price as before noticed, and
the new arrangement will commence next
Monday. We extract the following from
the Memphis Wing. The Wing is now
ABOUT the size of the Journal, the same
price by II week, but So per year:
With this mornings issue of the Wing
we reduce the SIZE of our Daily paper, bring
ing it down to its former size. This we
have been forced To do, or lose money. from
various reasons, the most obviou of which
are the extraordinary enhancement i'm the
price of printing paper and materials, and
tie general advance Of labor, all of which
have advanced from twenty-five 10 thirty
three per cent wi hin the past six months,
and sill continue advancing. Already quite
number OF the eading journals in Various
cities in the Union, New York City, PhiIa-
delphia, Boston, Baltimore, Buffalo, and
Cincinnati, have been forced to either reduce
the size OF their paper or advance the price
of subscription, aud of the two most of then
have chosen reduction in size.
So great is the advance in newspaper, and
the general scarcity of both the article and
the materials of which it is made, that
premium OF $500 has been offered to anv
one who will discover cheaper material
and mode of manufacturing it, so as TO fur
nish it at former prices. Several expert
ments have been made and are still making.
but asye' no one has been able to produce
it cheaper than it is now made from rags.
Indeed, so scarce has paper become, that in
France, England, and in this country. manu-.
fncturers are buying up old newspaper
sheets, and by some chemical process for
bleaching, are manufacturing il over again
so as 10 be used the second time; but even
this does not reduce the high prices.
