HEAVY DEFALCATIoN.-The tax collector of Louis
vile, Kentucky, took fight on the 4th inst. The
Journal says the city loses thousands upon thou
sands The official bond is only $50 ,O00 and con
sequently covers less than half the defalcation.-
And this is not all that is chargeabe upon those in
authority. There is ordinance requiring the
tax collector to settle at stated times that if the
settlements are duly made, all the revenue will be
paid in by the 10th of March. Why not this
ordinance enforced, and Nee elland compelled to
make his settlements as the city laws require? Had
this been done, there would have been no defalca-
tion-or none of consequence; but by neglect and
mismanagement, heavy loss is thrown upon citi-
zens who are SO fortunate as to be suretes of the
delinquent, and still heavier loss falls on the
city.

The PEACH Crop IN NEW JERsEY.-At a meeting
of the Farmers Club, in New York. last Monday,
DR.. J. T. Trimble, of Newark, N. j., said there
would be plenty of peaches in New Jersey this
year. Mr.. Lawton, of the same place, stated that
he had carefully examined the peach buds his
farm, and found them very healthy, as also the
branches He did not expect peaches from one tree
years. The course he pursued was to plant so or
100 trees every year, and take up many to use
for hrewood. The loss not much, as the trees
grew very fast, and they could be procured in
New Jersey for $40 per 100. They very beau
tiful while growing, and bore fruit in two years
In that way he was enabled to have a good crop
each year.

THE EXCITEMENT AND RUMORs IN WASHINGTON
WAsHINGToN, April THE frantic excitement
created by the hourly increasing probability OF a
civil war continues unahaed in the federal capital
Most people here have their all involved in such
calamitous emergency, and they are terrloiy exer
csed at the gloomy prospect before 'hem' lhey
think. talk and dream OF nothing but war. In the
absence of authentic information as to the plans of
the Administration and of all news from the'South
they indulge in sort of self-torture by feeding on
a variety Of wild rumors OF most extravagant
character.
Strange as it may appear, it cannot be concealed,
that the belief in an impending attempt to reinforce
Fort Sumter is not weakening, as might be natu-
rally supposed in view of the progress of the often
lily growing. But still deem it incredible that the
Administration has any idea of wipng out its past

The brig Betsey Ames Captain Bartlett, sailed from
New York for Cardenas the 9Th OF October She had
passengers including the wife Of the captain, and

nine O'Clock they chased by small armed schooner
which ovcrhauled them in few hours and captured the
brig prizetothe privateer schooner Flying Sally of
Charleston carrying two pivot guns and sixty men They
took provisions and cordage, and put prize
board the brig, and ordered her 10 Charleston.
the 9th they made the North Esto Inlet and beat
it, meeting with nothing except small Confederate
schooner coming out until boats crew, armed, came
and piloed them up TO the anchorage about ten miles
inland, and afterwards she was towed with small
schooner to Charleston by the inland passage.
The English subject sent to jail with the other
prisoners the British Consul saying he could do nothing
FOR him. he did wrong take passage in american

A few days afterwards at tho request OF the British
Consul the Scotch passenger released and took

This authentic statement proves concusvey the gross

to suppose That the violations OF the blockrde may
be by collusion with tho commanding officers.
