FAIRFIELD RACE COURsE-A purse Of five
hundred dollars was run for over this well known
course yesterday. The race was improvised for
the occasion, it being understood that the nett
proceeds were to be handed over, by the winner,
for the benefit of the Confederate soldiery.
This fact, and a knowledge that the contesting
nays were noted fox speed and bottom, served
to bring together a large number of persons
partial to the species of amusement alluded to.
The distance run was two miles and repeat. 1t

The Legislature having, at its late ses.
sion, authorized the Issue of Bonds t. the
amount oi S675 900, bearing an interest Of
seren per cent, for the purpose of providing
the funds required to sustain the State in
the act of Issuming her rights of sovereign
ty, this Bank is now prepared to dispose of
the Bonds. They are issued in sums Of
500, 800, and 5000. An opportunity is
thus afforded every citizen TO make a secure

ting aid to the cause in which the State is
engaged. With the view of enabling cit.
zens in any part of the State TO share in

ishing the Bonds on the receipt of the mon
