1 when we left the flags. An old merchant, how.
ever, handed us the following extract of letter
/ from an old Yirginian, son of an old revolutionary
| officer. 1t speaks what may be expected from the
| Old Dominion when the time arrives, which, how
ever, is not far off. The course of seizing the
Federal forts by our Executive is commended:
crLrkrEs cou rys vA.,2
| We have fallen on evil times and worse, per.
haps, arriving, if there can be any aggravation.
| You have done what I have advocated here-a
seizure of forts and munitions of war It is a
measure as proper for peace as war, SIS readiness
| for war is always peace measure. Virginia will
be more deliberate, but equally as sure as any of
her sisters; but her position and frontier exposure
requires more preparation, and time is an element
ofimportance. She will leave before the 4th of
March and unite her destinies with you.
| Cur Legislature has appropriated an additional
million for organization, and each county is emua
ting the Legislature, and taxing the people for
home supplies of munitions of war; l tell you, if
the Northern bear should come, we will send him
limping back in his lair One spirit, that of ready
defiance, animates our entire population. You will
have no cause to blush for mother
we are on the qaG uire.
In our talk yesterday the types said something
about continuance among parties engaged in the
shipping business. It should read " combination"
We shall publish this rich manifesto as soon as a
copy can be obtained.
TWAS talked about that some of the Gulf Squad
ron, or Home Squadron, had the smallpox on
board The yomito and yellow fever season is ap.
preaching, and the good Black Republican naval
officers Of the Home Squadron may have something
else to contend against besides Southern heroism,
powder and balls.
There were some few bags of mail matter dis
tributed at our Post.offce yesterday. We received
Dur Price Current from Philadelphia of the 18th
inst, for which we paid one cent in real yellow
glittering money of the new currency. The bro.
kers are non-plussed, decidedly puzzled. They do
not know how to class the two old coins with the
half cent promises, nor the two peacocks and the
two cent ISSUE On the other ISSUE one cent issue,
there is something which looks like heaps of cotton
bales which can be understood; though some
cynic says the cuts represent the great Custom
house building. There was a report last evening
that the mail of the 28th January from New York
was received. There are no objections to the new
currency, provided the issues are not increased
that is, one dollar and two dollars issued; but
there are many objections to the innumerable de-
lays in the delivery of mail matter when our mer-
chants are willing to raise sufficient means to en-
ploy a full number of clerks to expedite the dey-
cry of mail matter.

We Approve Of The Step.

We are indebted to our courteous
Mayor for q circular issued by the
Chamber of Commerce of the city Of
Macon, Ga. It is addressed to the
merchants, bankers and others of the
Confederate States Of America. The
purport Of the circular is call for
Mass Commercial and Financial Con
vention to meet in Macon on the 14th
day of October next, with a view Of
"devising some plan for establishing
a system of credits between the Con
federate States of America and For
eign countries, which may be practi-
cable and available to all desiring to
use it, and which will command the
hearty support of the citizens of our
whole country We heartily ap-
prove Of this step taken by the Cham
Der of Commerce, hoping sincerely the
object will be accomplished and the
desired benefits attained. This is Il
subject of vital importance to the pros
perity of our country, and should be
treated with proper consideration.
With much truth does that body
say, in its argument: "a mighty and
systematic effort has been made by
merchants and bankers at the North
to transfer to, and engross almost the
entire profits Of Southern trade i'll
their own hands. Our institutions
have been decried to the world in the
hope that by this means they might
drive from us the sy1ppathies of other
commercial nations, and obstruct, if
not wholly prevent direct intercourse
between US and them Let the Con
vention be held, we think the idea
good.

Moremcnt Of arkansas Troops-A
letter received in this city day or
two since, from Col. Hindman, states
that on the evening of the 1st inst,
Col. CIeburne and himself, with six
companies from each regiment, max
ing in all twelve companies, would
leave the camp for the purpose of
attacking force Of 16DO federal
troops, encamped at Cedar creek,
Madison county, Missouri. The dis
tance to the federal camp was only
about sixty or seventy miles, and we
may very reasonably conclude that
unless Col. Bland, the officer in COM
mand of the Hessians, has fallen
back on the approach of the Arkan-
sas troops, an engagement has already
taken place. No fears, we think,
need be entertained of the result,
with anything like equal chances as
the Arkansas troops have not enlisted
in the service with view to defeat
