Legitimate enterprises. Such is the pre-
sent position of the merchants aud me-
chanics of Mobile.
The payment by the Confeleracy for
all work done for the Government is in
Treasury notes and in the notes of the
interior banks, the first of which are
sold at seven per cent discount, and the
latter at twelve to fifteen per cent, as
they are not receivable at our Banks,
and consequently are e.,sed by the me-
chanics and trades people. This, in
connection with the re sal Of the Banks
here to put out their own notes ON any
securities which can be offered, has so
embarrassed the whole community that a
settled gloom rests upon all operations,
and no one seems to know what course
to pursue.
The Treasury Department of the
Confederacy may very properly desire
under no circumstances, to receive or
pay out any other than the constitutions
al currency of the country, which can
never be less than gold or silver, or bills
which are specie paying banks, and yet
while they have SlS0,O0O in coin in the
Bank of Mobile and the Southern Bank
of this city, they are refusing to pay
those who have made the contracts with
them for specie currency in anything but
their Treasury notes, which can not be
counted in money or in the paper of the
interior, while they are at the same
time demanding from the suspended
banks that shall pay coin, or its equiva-
lent, for all their notes which may in a.
ny way come into the Treasury.
Now, whether this state of things
has ,en brought upon us by the policy
or necessities of the Treasury department
the fact is that all are embarrassed by
the fact that we have upon US two kinds
of currency--one ofspecie-paying banks
which e constantly decreasing in their
amount by the payment of coin and en-
tire withdrawal from circulation in the
other currency of suspended Banks and
treasury notes is fast increasing upon
us, and is at present unavailable for the
payment Of any OF the nee sary purcha-
ses Of the mechanic and subjects all that
take it to heavy loss, while those who
buy, even at ten and fifteen per cent, +,
find no way of disposing of it to advan-
tage, The planters who might perhaps
assist in its circulation in the country.
require that at any balance due them by
the factors shall be RENTED them in gold
or silver coin which they will hoard up
till the end of the war or until such time
as they shall be able by the use of it to
purchase negroes at such time diminished
prices as will induce them to part with
it. 1t is said that in this way some
three to four millions of specie have been
drawn from our city Bank; aud may be
said to be buried till it can be used at u
time when the necessities of the people
are ripe for large sacrifices of their prop
erty to obtain it.
If. Secession thus early produces such
bitter fruit, what may be expected from
it in the dark future ?

1 MlSSissippian's Opinion OF JEFF,
Davis.

DR.. B. F. Bacon publishes in the New
York Sunday Mercury some incidents in
the life of the President of the Southern
Confederacy. and accuses him of cow
ardice and incompetency in the Mexican
campaign. He relates a conversation
with Col. A. r. McClung of Mississippi
in 1S49, who said of President Davis
Il am very sorry ever fought duel.

would like to fight one more with one
man. and that man is Jefferson Davis

Useful Receipts.

Interesting to Voluateers.-The fol-
lowing prescription for diarrhea sad
symptoms of cholera was used by the
troops during the Mexican war With
great success. IT will be found very
useful at this time:
Laudunum, two ounces.
Spirits of camphor, two ounces.
Essence of peppermint, two ounces.
Hoffuan's 5 anodyne, two ounces.
Tiucture of Cayenne pepper, two dra-
chms. .,-.
Tincture Ct ginger, one ounce.
Mix all together. .Dose--a table
spoonful in a little water. Will check
diarrhea iu ten minutes, and abate 9TH
er premonitory symptoms of cholera i'm
mediately. In cases of cholera it has
been used with great success to' restore
reaction by outward application.
Ink Spots.-It is perhaps not gencr-
ally known, that piece of blotting pa
per, crumpled together to make it firm,
and just wetted, will take ink out of ma
hogany. Rub the spot with the wetted
paper, when it instantly disappears, and
the white mark from the operation may
be Immediately removed by rubbing the
table with cloth.
Hominy Wo6ss.-Two spoonfaIs Of
homiuy; small lump of butter; two
eggs; one quart wheat fouy. Thin with
milk, to the consistency Of very thick
cream. Bake in waffle irons.
Cream Sponge Cake.-Beat two eggs.

rich cream, one cup Of white sugar, one.
of flour, one teaspoonfuf of cream tartar,
half one of soda, season with lemon,
bake in long tin.
Two spoonsful of finely powdered char

applied as perfume to the face and hands

when bitten by them, aronsatic vinegar
is the best antidose.

to send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take theil
newspapers from the Office to which they art
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon

The small size No. l Salamander safe which
L purchased from your agent Mr.. Adam r.

has been subjected to very severe test,
which it wiIhstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some TO my neighbors and friends,
and represeting val1e of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50, ,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours TO an intense heat
among the ruins, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls. After tho
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in state Of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,

hear of couple forsaking the dull and
spiritless walks of celibacy and entering
upon the Rosie Way. Apropos of moth
ing: hard times are said to be here ):
people don't get married when times are
hard therefore, times are not hard. To
return, the frequent recurrence of these
little matrimonial episodes will have the
effect of ultimately demoralizing, demol-
ishing, and otherwise smashing up the
great and enlightened Club of Jolly Sim
glefreemen. Which will be melancholy
for the Club as Club, but vice versa for
the Club as individuals.
We think-in fact we are morally GER
tain-that our friend j. has done both
wisely and well III the above transaction.
"Til Hymen brought his slove-delighted hour,
There dweit no joy in Eden's rosy bower;
The world was sad-the garden a wild
And man, the hermit, sigh'd-till woman
smiled
Wherefore, and in consideration whereof,
we hereby tender him and his bonnie
bride our sincerest congratulations and
best wishes for a happy present and a
bright and glowing future, and bespeak
for them the smallest possible moiety of
the "slings and arrows of outrageous for
tune" as they glide along on their way.
For the gold dollar accompanying the
notice of the nuptials we are, with respect,
yours exceedingly.
