number OF soldiers stopped at the

into conversation with one of ne

called his servant into the house,
with a threat that if she did not come
in he would would whip her, when

Our Banks.

By, Recommendation Of governor
L. O. Moore, the different banks of
the city of New Orleans. have agreed
to suspend specie payment. This
patriotic step taken by ourbanks, we
doubt not would have willingly been
done ere this, without their being
called upon to do it, but our readers are
aware, we presume, the power Of thus
acting of their own free will, would
be detrimental to their business, for
in doing this they would forfeit their
charters. Undcr existing circum-
stances, it is probable that there will
be no risk run, for, undoubtedly at the
next assembly Of the Legislature,
an act will be passed warranting the
course at present pursued, and thus
clearing them of any violation of the
restrictive laws.
That the suspension, by our banks
of specie payment, will prove advan-
tageous, is beyond doubt; in fact it
is absolutely necessary for the welfare
of our Confederacy. and will prove
of vast benefit to themselves. This
will put down any opposition to ac-
cept the Confederate States notes as
currency, for they. as it We're, will be
substituted in place of cur bank
notes. No person can conscientious
ly object to this. We do not, and
are willing to take all We can get.

from gentlemen just from Fort Macon,
that British man of-war, lying off
Beaufort harbor, has been boarded by
our men, who there ascertatned that
the Fedcralists intend an early attack
on Fort Macon.

fact coming under her own knowl-
edge, that the Tederals, in their al

the guns and fuel of the Harriet

and sixty men drowned. 1t turns
out, therefore, that their actual loss

three to one.

manumission, freeing two slaves. it
reads as follows. Frank Lewis and
Hiram Reed, heretofore held to SER

are hesby declared to be free and
forever discharged from the bonds OF

Lying on Large iScaA.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer is determined
to be ahead of all competitors in the
sensation line. Hear him
y story is told Of the Confederates
which, if true, displays a daring on
the part of their men, which can only
arise FROM desperation. The strict
military discipline Of the Federal
camp OH the Virginia side of the Po-
tomac has mAetely "blocked" the
usual sources through which the Con-
federates have heretofore obtained
information. a few nights ago they
determined, at al hazards, to learn
he password, in order that their
agent might enter our lines and
reach Washington. TO do this, they
dressed two of their men in govern
ment uniforms which had been cap
tured, and succeeded in placing them
between our pickets unobserscd.
The imrosters and the trre soldiers
pursued the regular duty for some
time, when finally the Confederate 5
challenged one of our men, who was
about to give the requisite password
when he discovered the cheat and
gave the alarm, but not in time to
effect the arrest or death OF the dar-
ing but non-pIussed Adventures.

own country was divided into opposing
parties, and where the men for the work
had to be picked up and used just as they
showed their fitness to forward the inter
ests of their party. Mr.. Banks, who was
formerly an American mechanic, but who
is now Major-General, may not make a
very formidable leader, but, on the cou-
trary, he may turn out we'll enough. The
Buffers, and Cadwalladers,, and other ct-
villains have, we dare say, received their
appointments for reasons which the result
of their work may fully justify; and our
own case in the Civil Wnr against the Stu
arts may find q parallel in Amrica, as with
citizen Observation-Disclosures commanders bat
ties were fought and won against veterans
skilled in command, which show that men of
ability, when engaged in great cause, can
accomplish even more than the mere profess
sional men, who work by routine. in cases
where the ordinary calculations by which
they are guided cannot be relied on.
Those who criticise the Americans should
not forget that Blake, one of our greatest
naval heroes, was an inlprovised admiral.
Cromwell was brewer, Major General
Whalley an apprentice to draper, Colonel
Jones (Cromwell's brotlier-in-law,) had
been servant toa gentleman, Skippon was
q common soldier, who become a great
general and Commander-in-Chief in Ire
land, rs well as member of Cromwelrs
council. oolouels Harvey and Rowe were
silk MERGERS, whilst Major Salway, who
was a member of the Council of State, had
been nm apprentice 10 grocer. To which
we may add, in proof of the way in which
troubled times bring out latent faculties,
that Colonel Horton was gcntlem0n's
servant, Colonel Berry a woodmonger,
Colonel Cooper n harberdasher, Major
RoIfe shoemaker, Colonel Fox tinker,
and Colonel Henson a cobbler. Let us
not therefore, sneer at the appointments of
President Lincoln. The present contest
has to find the men it requires, audif they
have faculty they will soon fit themselves
to their work. Van Tromp, one of the
greatest of professional admirals, had no
advance over Blake, the amateur; and we
doubt not that some of the men who may
be called to command by the exigencies
of the times on the other side of the At
lantic will be able to show the "might that
slumbers" in arms unused to battle when
called upon to strike for the integrity and
safety of their country.

A GREAT MEDICINE ron FEMALEsl- l-Hun-
dreds of stimulants have been invented
and sold, purporting to be specific in the
various diseases and arrangements to
which the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The result of all these slim
ulants has been to impart momeatary actiU-
ity to the nervous system and false vigor to
the muscles but this relief has been sue
ceeded by depression and prostration
greater than before; and the repeated at
tempts of invalids to build themselves up
by the false remedies, have finally ended in
destroying what little vital organization
was left. But in using ''BarAavss Hol-
