A Defaulting Cashier.
Ravenna Democrat says:

The Ravenna Democrat says:
CHAs. PEcK, JR., Cashier Of the Frank
lin Bank of Portage County, at Franklin
NJ lis, left that place upon Tuesday last,
having, as subsequent developments show,
done so under a sudden impulse, with the
intention of never returning. His default
to the Bank will be trifing-a sum which
two of the Directors would have willingly
paid, had they known the embarrassments
crowding upon him. Possessed Of a free
and generous disposition. his personal x
p%cnditures have been full liberal, not to
say lavish-=and in outside schemes and
speculatiOns have come reverses, which
have brought about the painful result that
is noted above. At this writing, the exact
condition Of his matters cannot be known,
as his permanent absence only became pub
lie upon Friday. The business Of the
Bank will not be affected by this sudden
denouement in the affairs Of its Cashier.
So sudden was his departure, that bis
wife knew nothing Of it until informed of
the fact through his attorney, to whom he
wrote from Cleveland, delegatiDg him with
the painful duty of first breaking the sad
news to her.

SENATOR WADE.--A Washington cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald writes:
Senator Wade of Ohio, is here, full Of
the war spirit. He is urging the Admin.
istratiOn to pursue the most active policy
possible. He says there is more sound ar.
gumcnt in one eleven-inch Columbiad than
in all the Senate speeches or political
pamphlets ever issued. Senator Chandler
OF Michigan, who was present when the
remark was made, endorsed the idea fully.

How great the change a few weeks have

demands your pass before you eau enter.
Every doorway and portico is barricaded

cleaned and put in order. Scattered
throughout the House are arms and KNAPP
sacks. Behind the chair where sat the
amiable Pennington. is a bulletin board
for the Regiment. While the members of
the different companies are felicitating
themselves, how faithful the country is be-
ing represented in the War Congress now
in session. The same picture is presented
in the Senate Chamb II. The chair which
Davis, Benjamin and Hammond occupied
when they boldly published to the world

chair where Breckenridge sat when he
winked at treason, no. DIS muskets from the

gone; their places are vacant; the echoes of
their delusive madness have died away. but
they have awakened an energy and in.
stalled in their seats a power which will
