A correspondent of the Chicago Times
writes the following:
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. IL, 1851.
EDIroR TE1Es: The bill containing the
amendments of the merchants to the bank
ing law, has been presented to the House,
and is now before the country. The mer
chants aim at no radical change Of the bank
ing law, nor Will they make war upon the
banks which are doing, or will do a legiti-
mate banking business. All they aim at is,
a prompt redemption Of their bills by the
banks at their. counters; and that every
bank be required to keep q counter, and Off
GERS, and business hours, so that it may be
found and answer business calls. Those who
make a currency, ought to do 90 upon the
terms authorized by law. This is the want
and interest Of the people and Of the mer-
chants The law requires prompt redemp-
ton, in specie, on demand, at the counter.
The wildcat, red-dog bankers, the sha-
wing brokers and certain paid supporters of
this class, pretend that the people only want
a currency which is well secured. They
pretend that 70 aim at anything more, is to
substitute another system with the view to
destroy the banks and the people do not
want anything Of the sort. These men
speak in the name, but not for the interest
Of the people. 3
The people have spoken in multitude Of
petitions, by tens Of thousands-daiiy pour
lag into the Legislature. They have asked
that the banks be required to redeem as we'll
as to secure their circulation.
Those who pretend that requiring redemp-
ton is to wind up the banks, and to wind up
will produce a loss too heavy to be borne,
are men who oppose any and all legislation
for the people. If any relief is to be given
to the people and business uen, it must be
bv requiring the banks to REDEEM on de-
| mand. They want to know that their billi
represent, and viii command the money
| and not mere ULTIMATE SECURITIES. They
want cash, not mortgag ages-not bonds.

A BOGUS CONGRESSMAN.

The Dayton, Ohio, Empire asserts that upon
the 4th Of July-the day Hpon which the LIN
coin congress convened man by the name
Of UPTON appeared and claimed to be the legal
" elected representative from the Fairfax,
Va, district, who was, and virtually is yet, a
citizen Of Ohio, having been the editor and
publisher Of the GAINESVILLE Courier, in that
State, until within a few weeks ago.
He went on to Washington about the time
Of the Inauguration son the wild hunt after
Office" and failing to get one from the admin
istTatieD, waited until the LINCOLN troops had
possession Of Alexandra, when be opened /
poll and ran for congress, receiving about
twenty-five votes! Upon the strength of this
bogus election, be claimed a seat as represent
ative, and, Notwithstanding Mr.. S. s. Cox, of
the Columbia district, stated the circumstances
Of the case to the house, UPToN was admitted,
by bis Republican colleagues, to the seat he
claimed, and to-day he is engaged in making
laws for a pc opIe who never elected him. He
to-day is allowed, by the votes Of the Republic
can members, all the privileges Of a represent
alive in congress.
10 commenting upon this procedure, the
Empire adds "Was there ever a more shame
full outrage upon the rights Of a free people,
than this act Of the Republican members? OF
course, UPTON is a bitter war Republican, and
will vote for anything and everything that his
master may demand of him.

Resolution fer the Pardon OF

The following jo ~
lnudesrtain acts Of tbnent OF General ohAo-
REGAHD'ss for "siglationed at CenterviIle'
obtained a glorious victory over the federal
forces on Thursday. Our collection of "Black-
Republican dispatches to the northern press"
dated on Wednesday, advise that the federals
intended to make an attack upon the confede-
rate position, and the dispatches from Rich
mond, via New Orleans, from our special
correspondent, and those sent out from Wash
ington under abolition censorship, evidence
that e battle was fought, and victory perched
upon the flag Of the Confederate army. 1t
viii be seen that the dispatches from the
North admit, upon the authority of Colonel
RICHARDSON, of Illinois, that the federaIs fell
back-Dsre rspulssd should have been the
term.
When it is remembered that the number
Of the federalists predominated over the south
ern forces so largely, it will be seen that The
victory was a glorious one, demonstrating that
the powers of the brave men of the South, in
fighting for their liberties and homes, is equal
to any odds, and that they are unconquerable.
We expect to be able to give full particu-
lars Of the battle in our Sunday mornings

LaTE FROM PENSACOLA.


Correspondence OF the Montgomery Advertiser
PENSACOLA, July 16sIS6i.
The telegraph may have informed yen of the
fact Of a deserter FROM the o.. S. steamship
Niagara having been taken a. East Pass. He
was brought into camp By a squad of Capt.
CIanton's company, who took him as be land
ed. HIS appearance gives strong Indications
of hard treatment, which must baye been the
cause which induced him to run the rial; of be-
ing eaten by sharks, TO escape ole Dabe's
yoke OF bondage. He is marine. He says
that he expected every moment to he taken by
a shark, but he was so tired Of his situation in
the enemy'5 navy that be preferred 70 brave
death rather than remain there my longer.
There is a Tumor In circulation about town
to the effect that a boat load Of tis snemy
landed rear the mouth Of the PeTdido, fred
upon the picket guard stationed there, and re-
tired without having a shot returned This, |
am happy to be able to say, on good author
ity, ig incorrect in every particular, wi h he
exception Of their landing. The facts are
these: a picket guard OF about 90 men, hay-
ing about 70 or Il miles O cosst to guard west
from Fort McRae, discovered boat contain
ing some 30 OF 40 armed men, Con Friday eve
ming last moving along very slowly, TecODnoi-
teTing with their glasses, some 400 yards
from shore, evidently with the intention of
landing. To make them "shoW their hand"
the officer in command Of tue picket guard
ordered one man to fac, who aimed at the
BtesrsDan and fred, The ball passing over his
head, upon which they Immediately turned
tail snd fed fer their lives. This squad then
fired at the boat some twenty-five shots, but
with what effect it was impossible to tell, as
il was near dark but from the commotion in
the boat twice during the firing, it
was very evident that somebody was
hurt. But they did not return the fire.
Thinking they might return with rein
forceuents and land during the night, the en-
tire guard remained on duty all night, sRd only
retired to rheir camp at daylight 10 get a little
rest and break their fast. During this short
relaxation from their vigilance, il seems that
a boat landed twenty-five or thirty marines
close to their camp, who formed on the beach
and took up their line of march in the direc-
ton Of the camp. This was no doubt acct
dental, as the moment they discovered the
camp they beat a hasty retreat, without firing
a shot.
Many Of our scouts had fallen asleep soon
after arriving in camp, in consequence Of
which the orders to "saddie up'' and 'to horse'
were not obeyed with as much a%lacritY as
usual, and by the time the scout arrived at the
beach the boat bad gained some 400 OF 500
yards from shore, but as soon as the scout
came in sight they fired a few shots, all of
which fell short, and which it was deemed
useless to return. That picket has been REIN
forced since the above occurrence. -

WHEELING, Va, July Thorough cow
ardice or imbecility, Gen. Hill permitted the
escape Of GaFhstt's fugitives near Oakland.
They numbered about fifteen hundred, and
we're exhausted, and probably would have sur
rendered without resisting.
HIPS advance was within a mile and a half
of them, eager for the fray, when he suddenly
ordered a countermsrch, against the expostu-
lalions Of officers and men. He afterwards
received strong TeinfOrcements, and returned,
but Gen. Mcclellan being disguised with his
operations, and fearing disaster, had ordered
him to stop.
The enemy being reinforced, and Hillhaving
allowed the right opportunity to pass, should
he meet disaster, the fault will be bis. Major
Marcy goes to Washington as bearer Of dis

TROnPS-BEE BCCBLLOUGH IN THE FIELD
BRAVE CONDUCT OF GOVERNOR JACKSON
Correspondence Of The Louisville C~ourier.l
ST. LOUIS, July 16, 1851.
EDITORS COURIER: | Yesterday sent you
some cheering news of the proves Of cur
brave State troops. That information, as |
told you, l knew to be reliable. I have Just
been put in possession of a private letter, for
the truth of the contents Of which vouch.
You will see that the days Of oppression and
tyranny in this State are drawing to a close.
The letter to which I refer is da.ed "Knob
Noster, July 18th" and states
"a have concluded to write, in order to cen
tradict some Of the faIsehOods published in The
Republican in regard TO the battle of Carthage
and other movements Of our State troops. The
statement that we lost six hundred men is
false. The following, from the pen Of doctor
who was in the fight, says:
"That the brave State troops met the fed
erals under Col. SiegeTs command unex-
pectedly, at about eight miles north of
Carthage. They were $500 strong, and,
having the chOce Of ground, had planted
their cannon in the most commanding pO-
sition. Gov. Jackson, with about 1900
men, Of whom only about 1000 were arm
ed, except with shot-guns, determined to
give them battle. He had only eight pieces
Of cannon, which be planted az best he
could. Siegel opened the fire on them,
which was kept up for eight hours, when
our cavalry out-fanked them, and made a
charge, which broke their ranks. The
federals then retreated in some confusion, our
boys cutting off about seven hundred Of their
number, four cannon, and a great number Of
wagons, army supplies, and horses. A run
ming fight was then keptup for eight miles to
Carthage, our boys cutting them down along
the entire route. When at Carthage, Colonel
Siegel made a stand, but was routed, leaving
Is wagons Of provisions, camp equipage,
mules, and one wagon load Of cakes, pies,
ETC., intended for a feast for the federal5
after cleaning out our boys-a good Joke,
but badly spoilt. Our brave State troops
still charged them three miles south OF
Carthage, when they we're checked by night
OvertakiGg them. They then rested for re-
freshment, which, it may be imagined, they
wanted badly. On the following morning,
Ben. McCuiloch Joined them with 5000 ran
gers, who followed the federsls on Saturday,
the result Of which had not been obtained up
to the time our messenger left but as General
Price, with 5000 men, were advancing on
them from the South Of Carthage, they GER
tainly captured the whole command.
After our boys had cut off the wing of the
enemy with their four cannon, the best they
had, they were compelled to cut them down
before they wosld give up the guns. The cav
airy, in which our Johnson boys played a con-
spicuous part, charged on them, and in many
cases they would not surrender until they
were cut down. The boys had to ride up and
cut their heads off. They got all their pTinci-
pal officers, one Of whom refused to surrender,
shooting two OF our men after being sur
rounded. They Of course riddled him.
