The VALLEY BANK The New York Tri.
bune says that {. no arrangements have vet
been made for redemption of the notes of the
Valley Bank of Maryland, and it is proposed
to call public meeting Of all bill holders to
consult in regard to the measures to be taken
to obtain information and relief in the premi-
SEES. A large portion of tho notes is in the
hands of the working classes, wko can i'll af.
ford to lose theil money. Of the circulation,
500 600, We understand, was loaned to the
Sciots and Hooking Valley Railroad company
on the hypothecation Of their bonds, they
agreeing to protect the currency, which they
have not done. 1t is very evident that some
one has possession of large amount Of assets
belonging to this bank, as it is not supposao ole
case that such an amount of circulation sbonIS
be put on the public by the managers without
something in return"

of returned Californians at Independence,

in the valley. The Mormon authorities were
in great tribulation on account of their women

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intefiigenesr, to-day, treats of news
and Congre ssional matters only.
The Union scouts the idea that Fremont
can carry either Illinois or Indiana, and pre-
sents facts and figures to back its judgment
in the premises. The same paper chides the
Richmond Wing on account Of it's alleged joy,
over the probability that the cause OF aboli-
tionism will be strengthened by heavy Ger
man vote in November. The editor deems
the Wings manifestations in this connection
a fair illustration of the spirit of ultra South
ern Know Nothingism, where the rights and
interests of the slaveholding States are con-
oerned,

Ex.GOv Letcher, of Kentucky. in recent

Mr.. Buchanan was his personal friend-that
he was gentleman and patriot, for whom
he entertained a high regard-and that he
could not say word against his character as
