ASTOUNDING BANK FRAUDS 1t is stated that
the examination into the affairs of the Bank
OF Albany reveals Il system of fraud ex tending
for many years back, and some AS founding
developments i'll regard to the operations Of
one or two leading men in the bank will be
made in few days. The attempts which
have been made to "white- wash" certain
guilty parties involved will also be exposed.
The books of the bank have been falslfied in
every conceivable way. 1t was even made TO
appear at the directors meeting that the de.
posts OF the bank were only $3.50, 900, whereas
the actual amount was $500 900. Among
other frauds, one note for SIS, 600 OF q leading
politician, which was supposed to be a paying
asset OF the bank, was paid by him seven
years ago, and receipt thereof obtained the
interest on this note was paid by the party
in teresed in making it appear as an asset OF
the bank.-B0St0a Traveller.

Our Regimen. Not accented.

notwithstanding the dispatch from the
AdJutant General notifying Col Marsh
that our regiment had been accepted by
the Governor as one of the six regiments
for tho Government service, il turns out
that it has been left out after all. the 9Th
has been substituted instead
Now, we would inquire of those in au-
thority, why Is this ? What has produced
this cnahge? Why is it that Col Marsh s
regiment Is left out and Col LAWYERS sub
stituted?
Col Marsh's regiment is admitted By all
military men who have visited Camp
Goodell to be one of the most efficient and
noble that has yet offered its services TO
the Government. 1t is composed of young
men in the prime of life-in fact of the
very flower of the district We venture
the assertion that there is as much intelli-
gence, patriotism and manhood in the
regiment nov encamped in the suburbs Of
this city, rs can be found IN any regiment
that has yet offered its services 10 the
Government. And what is better the men
have rendered their services during the
war. What more can be asked than this 4?
There is something unaccountable in
the turn affairs have taken. and there
are many surm;ses relative TO the produc-
ing causes. 1t is said by some that when
our Congressman, the Hon Owen Lovejoy,
found that the soldiers of the regiment
did not want him as their commander, he
at once brought his influence to bea upon
Gov. Yates to cause it 10 be rejected We
do not make this as q charge against Mr..
Lovejoy, but the circumstalc bear strong
ly against him. 1t certainly looks as
though he was the cause of our noble vol
unteels berg left out. At all events, so
strongly are our brave soldiers impressed
with the idea that the Hon. Owen Loveioy
has been the cause of the change that has
been the cause Of the change that has
been made by our State officers, that it
would not be conducive to his health for
to visit Camp Goodell about these times.
! We understand that the regiment has
made a tender of its services directly to
the President. 1t has made no half way
work in the matter, but is willing to stand
/ by the stars and stripes until our national
honor ia vindicated
Composed as it is, Of the very best men
the country could produce, we have nc
doubt it will be gladly accepted by Presi
dent Lincoln. Therefore our gallant BOYS
may be making ready for the responsible
! position thev will soon lie called upon to
| fill'-JOliet Sgnai 2SM.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1861-06-01

The following, which we cut from the
Joliet Sigaal, expresses SO admirably what
we have felt like saying for week or two
in reference to sneal,ing threats thrown
out against some Of our best citizens, that
we copy and endorse it word by word:
CowAEDs-In the sudden shock Of war
which has burst upon us like clap of
thunder from clear sky, on a summer
day, it is natural that the true instincts of
men will be shown out. The true patriot
will stand firmly by his post Of duty and
lend the government all the aid in his
power to prosecute the war until it can be
brought to an honorable termination. The
real hero will wheel into the ranks and
prepare 20 meet the enemy in deadly
combat. But towards may be known by
their sneaking round and threatening Vi
olence to their neighbors who may chance
to differ with them in their opinions
Therefore when men are heard applying
the term" traitor to better patriots than
they dare claim to be, or talking about
mobbing people for simply expressing
opinions in regard to matters of policy, it
is positive evidence that they are afraid to
volunteer and wish to make 3 display OF
patriotism by blowing around home and
threatening mob violence Let all such
b;peds be s'spotted," as towards.
