am Just back from Boston, and have few
words to say relative to a matter concerning
every Western man. was well aware, pre-
vious to leaving Minnesota, that generally
speaking, Indiana stock as well as TIC polili-
clans from that State, were in bad oder, but
did not suppose that the bills of the banks of
the State were sunk so low in public es,ima-
ton, as have since learned to be the fact
Unfortunately, when left St. Paul, | had in
my possession $50 on the State Bank of Indi-
ana, but presuming that there would be no diff
fculty in passing it, gave myself no trouble
about it, until on presenting bill at the tchc,
office at Boston, l was informed that "such
money didu't pass in that neighborhood." "Is
it not good" l asked. "Yes," was the re-
sponse, "but IRE rW haze nothing to do uih it,"
Finding that argument was useless, placed it
in my pocket-book and mizzled Shortly after

NEws.-The excitement concerning the
Central American and Enlisting questions. has,
in a measure, subsided. 1t is generally con-
cedeJ that there will be no war, although our
Government is making active preparations for
defence. Lord Palmerston founders in the
British Parliament but the people are not with
him, and Judging from the tone of convcrsa-
ton Of Englishmen in this country, as well as
the views entertained by the more sober-mind-
ed friends Of the old world, it would be almost
impossible to mar the harmony which now ex-
lists between the two countries. My own opin.
ion is, that Champion will be promoted to some
other position, that the Gov. Of Nova Scotia
will be recalled, that the transgressing Consuls
Of Philadelphia, Boston, 81, will be disposed
of, and then the storm will blow over, leaving
Franklin Pierce TO get out Of the mud, as best
be can.
Lieut.. Hunter, of Alvarado notoriety, was
buried yesterday, from Trinity Church. But
few attended his funeral. Previous to his,
death, he had run himself low in the estima-

1t will be observed that the subject of Pa
