The CURRENCY.-There is a mani
fest improvement in the state Of money mat
ters here within the past few days. The
owners of the Bank of Florence, have been
doing what they should have done all the
while, exerting themselves to redeem the
bills of that Bank, in something besides
the same bills. Of course We do not allude
to the outside redemption, by friends Of
the firm Of Cook 4 Sargent, with gold at
l5 percent This is neither just nor hon
orable, nor carrying out their pledges to
the people Of this community.
We do allude to the fact, that they have
been furnishing, principally to their friends,
exchange on New York, at 7 per cent. and
have done SO to considerable extent.
There is no reason why, with exchange
at Chicago at per cent. it cannot be fur
nished here At 4; slight difference would
be readily overlooked in view Of the situs-
ton of business affairs generally; but 90
large discrepancy viii not be borne for
any length oftims, for, If exchange is to be
had atan, there is no reason why it should
not be furnished at q rate bearing some
proper relation to the ratel at other places.
We are very glad to notice the improve
ment and to state that Msssrs Cook 4 Sar.
gent are evidently making some effort to
place Florence upon . proper basis. and we
know the reason. When it IL worth %
much in this market 80 Illinois and Wis
eonsin money. we shall be content Until
then. We shall be found laboring a. here
tofore, and w shall succeed

The I,adiASs Fair.

The Ladies Of the Presbyterian Church
will open their annual Fair, in Union Hall
ON Tuesday next, the LIST day of June
No exertions have been spared to render
the place attractive-for, in addition to the
smiling and beautiful faces of the Fair,
which will be present on the occasion, the
Fare itself will be of an order to invite the
taste Of the epicure. There will be offered
for sale, too, many useful and ornamental
articles, some Of which have been wrought
by the fair hands Of our fair friends for the
Fair. We bespcak for the Ladies a liberal
patronage from their friends, as the pro-
ceeds are to be applied to the purchase of
lamps, &C., for the use of the Presbyterian
Church.
We are requested to state that Snacks
will be furnished at the Hall during the day.
The Sax Horn Brass Band and Staunton
Quartettc and Glee Club will be present on
Che evening of the Fair, and add to the in
terest Of the occasion by the enlivcning
strains Of excellent music.

The Election.

We give, as far as received, tho returns
Of the election for Clerks, de-, in this
county, On Thursday last. Some of the re-
turns are official. while majorities only are
given for other places. Putting orr paper
to press SO soon after the election it is i'm.
possible for us to give full rcturns--enough,
however, is known to justify the statement
that John D. mbodcn, Esq, has been E.
lected County Clerk, by majority of abou,
200 votes, Nicholas G. Kinney, ESQ, has
been elected Clerk Of the Circuit Court by
a majority Of 200 or 800. The vote fol-
TIL. ?. Wilson, ESQ, is small one, bu
we cannot assign reasons for this, and mus
defer any general remarks until our mex
issue-and here, we wou ld add, that what
ever Of acerbity Of feeling may have been
caused by the excitement of the moment
should be permitted to pass off with the oc.
casion that produced it-many persons may
havo cast their votes in way different from
what was anticipated, yet it was their RICH
and privilege to vote for whom they pleased
and at this none have right complain.

Consistency.

The opposition press throughout the
country are busy at this time in exposing
the extravaganza of the Administration in
wasting the public money; but they forget
30 inform their readers that much of the ex-
pcnditurcs of the present Administration
are caused by paying off lien which the
extravaganza and improyidence of Black
Republican and Know Nothing Congress
left upon the public revenue. They forget
to inform their readers that the Mormon
difficulties, the erection of custom houses
the enlargement of the capitol &C., are adj
ding largely to the ublic expenses. Like
the rogue who cries 'stop thief these
would-be custodians of the treasure of the
Government raise the same cry in order to
avoid scrutiny into their own acts.

Hon. John Letcher.

A correspondent Of the South-Side Dem
crat writing from Washington on the sub
ject Of economy iu Congress, thus speaks of
the Hon John Lctcher:
Il doubt if there ever was in the whole
history of Congress more resolute purpose
to reduce the expenses of the Government
to the least possible amount. I advise you
TO study the debate in the House on the
Civil Appropriation Bill You will find
that we have some model representative
Democrats figuring largely in it. Your
friend. Hon. John Letchcr, Of whom you
spoke to me whilst here, is worth whole
troop Of common, half way men. / have
closely observed his course now for long
time, and | would not be surprised at any
time if Black Republican SANDER should
make mark Of him, for believe, in all
candor, he is the most honest, true and
straightforward man, to be a politician,
ever knew. Every one knows where to
find him. Always in his place, always we'll
informed, OF busy to make himself SC, he
strikes harder, to strike SO often, than any
man in the HOUSE, and always on the spot
he aims at. recommend to Congress, if
we are to have navy, that it just appro-
pirate to that purpose the amount that Hon.
John Lctcher saves the country by his Wig
lance. And then we shall have the coun-
try as we'll guarded as is the treasury"

THROUGH TICKET.

Central Railroad the best route to the
Sprlngs-Accommations for Travelcrs.
The Central Railroad has effected a
through ticket to the Springs from Peters
burg, Va, Charleston, S. c., Augusta,
Ca, Montgomery,-A Alabama, and even far
thor South, and We are pleased to say that
through ticket has been at last secured
from Baltimore also. There is some rival
ry between the Railroads in the South and
some Of our Virginia railroads, for the trav-
Ell to the Springs, but as there will be GA
miles of stage travelling over the route by
Lynchburg and but 80 over that by the
Central Railroad, very few persons will be
induced to turn away from the usual and
natural route for the sake of saving few
pennies. We shall, therefore. look for a
larger increase of travel to the Springs over
former years on the Central Railroad this
summer. In all our towns along the route
to the Springs there are excellent quarters
to be obtained for travelles, and our hills
and mountains abound with excellent pub
lie houses, where, visitors will find an album
dance Of the best of everything to eat, spa
cious lodging rooms, fresh air, and pure
sparkling water clear as crystal, the most
lovely and enchanting scenery the eye ever
behe Id, and intelligent and accommodating
landlords. Even at this early day, there
are persons passing to the Springs over the
Central Railroad, and especially to the
Rockbridge Alum Springs. Let them come,
from the South. from the North, from
the East, and from the West, the Virgin
Ia waters have healing and invigorating
virtues for them all, and this season thous-
ands more viii find accommodations than at
any former period. Charlottesville LETTER.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE
SLAVE QUESTION

The Archbishop and Bishops of the Cath
Ollie church, who recently assembled in pro-
vincial council in this city, have issued q
pastoral letter to the clergy and ]aitv of
that denomination. Among other subjects
to which it refers is the slavery question.
We make the following extracts
The peace full and conservative character
of our principles, which are adapted to every
form Of government and every state of So
ciety, has been tested and made manifest in
the great political struggles that have agi-
tated the country on the subject of domcs-
tic slavery. Although history plainly tes-
titles that the church has always befriended
the poor and laboring classes, and effectually
procured the mitigation of the evils attach
ed to servitude, until through her mild in
f1uence it passed away from the nations of
Europe, yet she has never disturbed estab-
lished order or endangered the peace of So
ciety by following theories of philanthropy.
Faithful to the teaching and example of
the apostles, she has always taught servants
to obey their masters, not serving to the
eye merely, but as to Christ, and in His
name she commands masters to treat their
servants with humanity and justice, re-
minding them that they also have Master
in Heaven. We have not, therefore, found
it necessary to modify our teaching with
view Of adapting it to local circumstances
Among us there has been no agitation or
this subject. Our clergy have wisely alb
stained from all interference with the iudg~
ment Of the faithful, which should be free
on all questions of polity and social order,
within the limits of the doctrine and law Of
Christ. We exhort you, venerable bretl-
rem, to pursue this course, so becoming the
ministers Of Christ and dispensers of the
mysteries Of God" Let the dead bury
their dead. leave to workings the cares
and anxieties OF political partizanship. the
struggles for ascendency, aud the mortif-
cations of disappointed ambition. DO not,
in any way, identify the interests of our
holy faith with the fortunes of any party;
but, preaching peace and good will to Ill
mankind, study only to win to truth the
deluded children Of error. and to mtrt tie
confidence Of your focks, so that, becoming
all to all, you may gain all to Christ.-Bcd-
ttmOre ,Sua.
