The st. Louis Rel,ujiicqa Of Friday
says
The mail yesterday brought us two
small rcmittances OF The paper of Teka-
ma Bank, each letter accompanied by
the remark that it would be redeemed
on presentation at the Citizens Saving
Institute, in st. Lonis. We were not
50 well satisfied about this, and
thought we would try it. 50, very
soon after the Banks opened in the
morning, the three notes, amounting to
twelve dollars, were presented for re-
demption, but we were told that it was
no go-thcy would not redeem them.
THIS ought to be the end of Tekama
money in st. Louis, and we advise
persons abroad who may be so unfor-
tunatc as to have any of it on hand,
that it is not worth while to send it to
this city, III the expectation of making
it available. If it is regarded as good
at home, keep it there.

the threats of brigham Young, are all |

opinion Of the Presiden: himself, as in
dicated by his annual message, from
the beginning. No doubt is entertain
ed but that the regular troops now I'M
der orders and on the march will be
amply sufficient to 1ucll the rebellion
and establish the laws in the Territory. |
One thing is certain that no volunteer
troops will pass our western frontier
until the peace commissioncrsare heard |
from to the effect that such move
ment is necessary. And the volunteer
Appropriation Bill is yet destined to
meet with violent opposition in both
Houses Of Congress. Several mem
hcrs that voted for the Army Bill |
have had their views changed in re-
gard to the necessity of the additional
regiments and will not vote for the
Appropriation Bill. Several we'll post
ed persons prophecy the defeat of the
Bill. At any rate it is bound to give
rise to one of the, if not the most ami
mated and interesting discussion of the
session.
The Mexican Minister here, halls
with pleasure the idea Of an American
protectoratc over that country; not a
protectorate that would interfere with
her domestic Government, or require
any sacrifice or submission on her part.

the sake Of good neighborhood, would
