Under this caption there appears CONF
munication in relation to our currency in
your daily OF the 10th, signed St. Louis.
upon which, with your permission, will
say word or two.
The praise bestowed upon our able and
faithful Auditor, in the fore part of the ar
ticle, is well deserved by the officer | will
neither add to nor detract from it. After a
few comments of the above sort, the writer
goes on to say, % have heard of a transac-
ton of large amount, of a merchant hav-
ing to pay q premium for New York ex-
change in Illinois money THE forcible
use of the proposition in the above sentence
will strike the most ordinary reader.) Ii
any such transaction has taken place in
your market. the party paying that premi-
um for Exchange with Illinois money,
either fell into the hands of a sharper, or the
man that sold the Exchange met with

the above allow me to state fact On the
very day of the publication of the article un-
der notice, the writer of this had occasion
to send gold to your city for Illinois Bank
notes, and what premium DO you suppose
was paid upon the transaction? Just one
per cent
The fact is, all this cry about Illinois
banks, smacks very much of IN attempt to
get up panic and shave the note holders.
II dealers in exchange, by raising the rate,
could stop the West from overtrading with
the East, il would be blessing. The clos
ing suggestion of your correspondent about
Withdrawing State Stocks, is good one
and should have been acted upon some time
ago. IL is questionable whether il would
work well now with war with Europe
staring us in the face. The author OF any
movement calculated TO injure the credit OF
Missouri or Illinois, should be secuted as a
public enemy. No foreign demands of any
extent having prevailed for years past, for
Missouri bonds, n war cannot seriously i'm
pair its securities. Our banking law is in
tended to secure the note holders, and has
worked well in this respect, as witness the
closing up of the Bank of Belleville, Ham
ilton county, and sundry others. With an
average crop, which We now bid fair 10
have, in less than six months there viii be a
demand for every dollar of legitimate cur
reucy in the West, to move the same 10

s&r Much surprise has been expressed in
all quarters at the hesitatation of the Aus
trian army in attacking the Sardinians, be-
fore the arrival Of their French allies
Various reasons have been offered for TINS
hardness, but none of them are satisfactory.
The New York Herald says Gthere is but
one way of accounting for this hesitation
which seized the Austrians, at n moment at
which their preparations seemed to have
been made for an immediate advance. The
revolt of the two Duchies, and the prospect
of its spreadingito the rest of Italy, appear
to have had the.effect of paralyzing their
movements. If this is correct, how blind
must have been the Emperor and his al
visers, to the real condition of the Peninsula,
and of the Italian provinces under Austrian
rule They should have been prepared for
these results, or not have pushed matters to
their present extremity. Ii IL difficult to
understand the generalship which under

This is the same old national sluggishness
that lost everything to the Austrians in
their campaigns with Napoleon the First
They seem to have learned nothing from the
humiliating experience in those campaigns.
They have permitted the French and Sar-
dinians to unite, and the probability is that
the next steamer will bring intelligence of
their shameful defeat. The conduct of the
Austrian generals savors so much of down.
right folly as to deprive the contest of all
the interest usually attendant upon well

was of a higher and holier nature. In
stead of seeking to raise his own name, or
seize supreme power, he devoted his whole

the liberties of his own country. In mod

things without the soil of sellishneSs, or the
stain of a grovelling ambition. Cesar,
Cromwell, Napoleon, attained n higher ele-

spur that drove them on. John Hampden,
William Russell, AlgernOn Sydney, may
have had motives rs pure, and an ambition

SINGULAR Relic OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.
We were shown, a day or two since, by Gen.
S. +. Carey, a small model of the human
head and face, which was recently ploughed
up in a hitherto undisturbed field in Brack-
en- county, Kentucky. The material is like
fine porcelain, and of light straw or clay
color. The lineaments of the countenance,
which is that Of a beardless man Of twenty
FIVE or thirty years, are traced with re-
markable skill and fidelity to nature, every.
line and muscle being portrayed, although
the diameter of the head is less than three
inches. The features are of the pure Cau-
casian type, closely resembling those of that
physically noble race Of mountaineers
against which the Russians have fought so
long, and with so little permanent success.
II was the intention of the artiSt-iC SO
we may term him-to set forth the agoniss
of dissolution. The drocping eyelids, the
distended nOstrilS the drawn-dOwn muscles
of the open mouth, and the other concomi-
