G0IDFO MONEY.

Every day is removing the injury inf1ict-
ed upon this city by the downfall Of stump
tail currency. The stuff is rapidly disap~
pcarlDg from circulation, and good money
is taking its place.
The Express Companies are bringing on
an average per day $1,000 Of the solid
coin, which is disburscd among the farm
ers in payment Of grain and cattle. The
wildcat currency is passing away as FIST
as tho coin comes in to fill the VACUUM
Business is now transacted by the specie
standard in this city. Bank notes are
taken at what they will bring in gold
Wisconsin stumptail is treated as mer-
chandise worth 80 or 93 cents on the dol
lar, or at whatever it cen be converted into
money. This rule of treating bank notes
at what they will bring in gold and silver
is the true principle. And by sticking to
it our merchants and manufacturers will
be enabled to undersell all competitors who
receive Wisconsin or any other stumptail
at Par, in payment for their wares. =:
The gold standard gives our merchants
some eight per cent. the advantage Of their
up-lake neighbors. The self.interest Of
country merchants in Wisconsin and Min
nesota will impel them to seek the best
and cheapest market in which to make
their purchases, A Milwaukee wholesaler

GecessIon in the INDIAN Territory.
IH..,.,. Ata cfncfnnafi fyhfIn4fan Hasn1d 9Th

from the Cincinnati Christian Herald, 9th.
Hayiug recently returned from the Indian
Territory, It may not be uninteresting to tha
readers OF Jour paper to hear something Of
that region. The state Of affairs in the Indian
country Is at present most unhappy. A ms
iority, and particularly Of the full blood popu-
lation, will DO slow to meddle with the white
mems quarrels. With fair understanding of
the merits cfthe case and, under equal clrcum-
stances, they might even be depended on for
III. General Government. But they ara igno-
Tant aud unprotected. Southern emIssaries
have been at work among them for years.
Mhny Of their leading men are in the Interest
Of the traitors, and Il they are not drawn into
war now waged against our government, and
buried In the game general ruin that, trust,
awaits the insultors Of our flags, It will only be
because there is not rogueIy enough in vii
laincus men to accomplish It. .
Tie brethren OF the mission have fall
share Of the impending danger. They need
our prayers and sympathies, and may need our
assiEtance. Concerning them, their views,
circumstances and plans, I shall, for particular
reasons, say nothing at present.
TIE vindIctlve temper Of the secession par
ty in that region is fully up to any thiag That
Hanging reputed abolstionists had got to be
stale, so they. capped the climax, Just before I
left, by attempting to hang woman. A Mr..
r. and his wife had been residents Of Texas
Tor about e,Ehteen monthB- Mr. L. was Viz
ginian, and against him no exceptions were
taken. But his wife, i lady not over twenty
five years Of age, and as accomplished o lady
as yon will often find, Was the daughter Of
a prominent Republican Of Iowa, and for
this alone they were suddenly set upon by
drunken mob, who came with the delib-
crate intention Of hanging tho lady to the
nearest tree. Friends 1nterfered, and they
were finally permitted to fleo for their lives,
leaving, and probably sacrificing valuable
p59Rsy Without oo5 iy and r; +eoy Sn!y such
flight, they, get out. Thirty-hy ml1es they
travelled on foot, through the Texas prslrics,

til, across the Red River, among Indians, they
found that assistance Wlieh was denied them
among their oWn citizens. Such is the spirit
that actuates our enemies, and In view Of It,
well msy we ask for the blessing Of God upon
cur arms; for that a God Of battles and OF
