The Treasury Department is at last supplying
Irs asury notes to the original subscribers ior
them and is likewise furnishing the SubTreasurers
with United States notes. These latter will
become vastly popular as soon they are better
known and understood. To-day the Bank Of Com

counter. They are safer than any bank notes now

States notes before Congress meets, and the first
measure taken by that body should be to psss an

Abraham, the Mighty.

And it came to pass, when Abraham, the
king, had assembled all his mighty men of
war in the city which is called Washing
ton; and when he had appointed captains
over hundreds and captains over thousands.
And when the King had viewed all these
mighty men of valor which he had assem-
bled for the subjugation of the tribes South
of the great river Potomac, which had with
drawn from under his hand and rebelled
against him, that he was we'll pleased, and
said unto the chief Captain, of his host,
ri will surely go forth with you myself"
But the chief Captain said unto him, surely,
thou shalt not 90 with US, lest some hurt
befall thee, for if half of US flee away or are
smitten, so that we die, they will not care
for US. But, behold now, thou art worth
ten thousand of us, for thou art King and
head over this great people. And the King
said, "whatsoever seemeth good unto you,
that will I do" So the King remained in
the city, and the chief Captain and all bis
servants went forth to the battle.

from Lord Palmerston the formal promise

the English minister had a byview, the in

ded States will be able to resist the efforts
which those of the North are going to at

VOLUNTEERS FAMILIES.

Messrs. Editors There are several
families of our absent soldiers in our midst
who are absolutely dependent upon the char
tiles of others for the means of subsistence
Are not these emphatically, "our poor "-
Is it not due to them, to ourselves, and to
our country, that we eudeavcr to make them,
at least comfortable? e?
We would, therefore, suggest, that a
meeting of our citizens be held in the Court
House, next Monday evening, for the pur-
pose of devising some efective plan for the
relief and support of the families we have
above alluded to. Let US have full meet
ing. Surely every patriotic soul must re-
spond to this call.
One more suggestion: Could not the
Commissioners of the Poor, most properly
and legitimately, perform most important
servicc for their country, by looking speci-
ally to the comfort of the poor and depeu-
dent families of such as have gone to the
tented field to defend our rights and save
our wives and children from degradation
worse far than death itself. Suppose, to
provide literally for such, the Board should
find it necessary to increase their assess
ment upon our general tax 10, Or even 20
per cent, who would complain? This |

these gentlemen but what would this be

We learn from the Richmond Dispatch
that Mr.. boswell, and some other citizens
of Richmond. have presented to Col. Thos.
G. Bacon, Of the 9TH South Carolina Regi.
meut, q valuable horse, called "Mars."
Col. Bacon acknowledges the complimentin in
a handsome manner, in letter, (dated
June a. to Mr.. boswell. The Seventh
Regiment has been pushed forward to the
outpost, and we truly hope the gallant men
who now occupy position in the very front
of the enemy, will be supplied by the Con-
federate Government with suitable comforts
to enable them to endure the tolls of the
campaign.
We make some interesting extracts from
Col. Bacon's letter:
awe are within about five miles of 5000
of the enemy. A balloon was seen last night
and several times to day, from my camp,
in the neighborhood of Alexandria, They
view our position from it and telegraph the
result to Scott. suspect they will feel
easy now that they have ascertalned our
strength in this vicinity. Report says the
5000 above spoken of, at Falls Church,
have started back to Alexandria. If they
do not start by Wednesday, think we will
bag them. Myregiment numbers - men,
besides about 70 negroes, who will fight
