Confederate IIfasErI No'eS,

We think tho finances 81 The south ana the
exchanges between the States would be greatly
benefited and facilitated if the Banks gene
rally would agree t. take the Treasury notes
of the Confederate Government. Tie patri-
otto ne well as wise example Of one OF the
Southern tanks deserves TO be generally fol-
lowed, at least to the extent OF receiving and
paying them out. But that Bank goes fur
Their it proposes to cali in lis own cITcuia-
ton and pay out the Treasury notes alto
gether. There can be risk in this policy.
The Southern Cortederacy viii have in good
time ample resources. The cotton lean itself
will make the Government quite independent
But apart from that, the moment war rs
over the ways aud means are instant and pre-
sent whereby and whorewith the Government
will be amply able to redeem all Its obliga-
tons and wipe cut the wax debt ia brief
period. An export duty on cotton of tri-
firg amount, not TO speak of all the
other resources, will soon accomplish that
The Treasury notes would DO the best currency
We could have; more t. he relied upon, more
acceptable, than Bank paper; and one advan
tage would be, that by employing them we
could avoid a large part of TIE multitorm cur
reney that is now delEg.ng the counry, and
much of which no one can know anything
about. If the Banks will do this, they vii
benefit themselves AID greatly accommodate
the public. One great advantage they will
derive from it will be, that they will have less
of their own notes TO redet III when specie pay
mentS arc resumed, while the Treasury notes
will answer the purposes of their operations
Just as well as their own notes.

A L1scoLNIrg PLANS AN lssuRREcrIoE,
AND Is HUNa.-A plot for slave insurrec-
ton was recently discovered in the Parish Of
St. Martin, La. white man, Lncolnite,
name unknown, had iuYeigled twenty six ne
groes belonging to different pro2rietors to en-
gage VI h hin, in q conspiracy, having for its
object q general insurrection OF the negroes,
the massacre of the whites and the violation
Of the women. 1t was to commence among
the inhabitants of False Point. After having
mastered the whites, other negroes were TO
be obliged to join the band And the mum Der
of Insurgents, increasing thus from house to
house, were finally to divide into two par
ties, 10 burn the villages CT St Martin and
New Iberia. The white man who command
ed them promised large reintorcenents Is
soon rs they should commence. Twice the
affair failed; the third time, from uuex pectea
circumstances, the scheme was found out.--
Six of the negroes were hung last Monday,
eleven have been sentenced 10 the panitentil-
ry, and the others returned to their masters
after a severe correc ton. The greatest crimi
nal of ali--the miserable white man who had
woven the plot of the piracy, and saticed
the unfortunate blacks to their destruc ion
was hung last Saturday .-Esmphis Tenn

SITUATION OF MAKYLAsD.--The Baltimore

Government, says:
In spite of fraud, ana treachery, and lies,
of espionage and repression, OF black mouth

will make itself heard, aye! and felt, and re-
membered. The day of rstribution will
come, and when il does come in earnest the
reckoning will be fearful. We here, In Ma
ryland, have especial cause to treasure up The
recollection OF the "tender nercies' OF the man
whom the Northhas appointed to rule over
as. We had strictly kept our Federal obi
cations, aud therefore we were TO be Vigorously
dealt with. We had broken none OF the pro-
visions of the Con titution. but what OF thali

struggle we had succeeded In reoeeming our
chief city from the sys tenn OF Terrorism which
had made it a bye word and q Teproach-and
now It has been forced back upon us at the
point of the bayonet, and with it the rutians

OF Federal satrap, who repeals at his Will
the enactments Of our Legislature, puts his
columns in motion during the darkness of
the night, and takes our citlzens from
their beds and lmmures them within
the walls of fortress, without war
rant of law or any color OF authority, beyond
what may he derived from the orders OF his
superiors at Washington. There will be an
end OF this thing soon. The people OF Mary
land will never allow themselves 10 be ridden
over roughshod without taking such measures
rs Will bring them ettectuai relief. General
Banks and his myrmdons may think that the
commotion the surface is perfectly man
ageable, but we know better. Let them be-
ware of the strength of the under tow. If
our State is to bear the brunt of Executive
ylBdic tiveness and of military insolence,

for the Legislature of Maryland. The Guard

The First South Carolina Regiment, com
manded by Col. Maxcy Gregg, has arrived in
the city from Fairfax, where they have been
stationed for some time. Their term of en-
listmsnt has expired, and as they have done
much laborious and effective service, they are
richly entitled to return to their homes from
which they have been absent more than elk
months 1t must be remembered this gallant
and devoted regiment promptly obeyed the
call of the Governor of South Carolina, and
were posted on Morris Island, where they re-
manned for several months, performing most
valuable service, which was rewarded by the
successful bombardment of Fort Sumter, in
which they were engaged, with much credit to
their reputation as well disciplined soldiers.
They came to Virginia and remained patiently
IN Richmond for many weeks, although eager
to meet the enemy and be placed in the van
guard. While in our city their drill and be-
havior was the admiration Of our citizens and
when ordered to Manassas Junction, il was
with the understanding they should have the
post of danger, and if any fighting was done
they were to be the first engaged in repelling
the invader. We regret to part with them
but are glad to know it is only for short
time, as it is understood they intend making
only short visit to their homes, when they
will return to Virginia, perhaps under another
organization. Their absence, we are inform
ed, will not probably extend beyond few
weeks. Wherever they go, our best wishes
attend them.
