The money and paper market offers nothing for
comment this evening. The banks were pressed,
aahas been the case for some days past, for small
notes in place Of large ones. Some OF the banks
are entirely out Of fyes and tens and to expect a
bank to give what it has not got ID making heavy
demand. In the meantime, the small notes, are
issued just as fast as they can be signed. 1t is
hoped the newissues Of the Gonfederated treasury,
notes Of fyes and tens, will be along in few days
/ ASA he Government of the Confederated States has
imphedly consented to furnish a currency, the
Secretary Of the Treasury is required to push the
issuing with al speed, even at Q 2:40 pace. The
people have partially approved Of the suspension
sot coin payments on the part Of the hanks, bat a
aaFge aud immediate issue Of five and ten dollar
notes y required by The wants OF the people, The
people acqaesce, or large majority, in the sus-
h pension of coin payments, which suspension was
(! strongly urged by the Government at Richmond
shropgh the Secretary Of the Treasury, aud by the
Governor OF Louisiana. So long ago as the 9th of
SepteInberss Mr.. Menminger wroteeto prominent
bankers here that the new issue Of five dollars
Would imme alateiy fellow the stolen notes. The.
public continue TO cry for change, change Most.
OF banks have Increased their line of circulation
this week The presumption is, that instead of
boarding gold, parties are boarding the Ave dollar
notes of our banks. Is q good omen = yefy good
tsait in the movement 81 cur banks that their issues
should be in so great demand. ii coacinsiyely
shows that they are not expanding, aud are as
cautious Of their issues at this time as though pay
ments ii coin had mob been suspended
+ There were some negotiations said to be going
onfn Confederate bonds in small sums. Holders
OF these bonds appear to be willing to sink or swim
with the Confeaeraey OF course, those capitalists
who did net subscribe to the Confederate loan will
be on the same boat with those who subscribed so
freely tba eventtof the great south,s reyerses.
On tie other hand, those who did subscribe will
realize lie glorious satisactiono Of having aided the
holy canseof Sou thorn independence. AS the sncs
CESS of tho South Is sure, we shah not envy those
holders Of money who declined and refused up and
down to TAKE Of the Confederate loan. e
The general stock market is exceedingly qniet.

were ordered to 60 INTO barracks near Cen
treville.
Of the little village of Centreville, and
the neighborhood, we wish to make hun0ra-
BILE mention, on accnuut Ut The kindness, gen
crosby aud hospitality Of the people, in ren-
dering Us every aid possible TO add To ouv per-
sonal comfort We have not, nor do We ever
expect 20 meet with kinder people in our
time, than those of rcnrrcviile The ladies
seem to take great delight in rendering their
services, in the needle line, ana haze done
a great deal Tor our company, for which we
return eur sincere and lasting thanks, and
will send our iast prayer lUr the fair sex o!
Centrevil.e anincgiDorhood, as wc consider
