Letter from Rev. z. G. Gear.

To the Editors ofthe Pioneer and Democrat.
Looking over your paper OF the 18th cur
rent, this morning, l notice in the article
upon Kah.ge- ga-bowh," or one George
CONWAY, the Gub-muh Taerg." You say,
after mentioning few of his antecedents,
that be was subsequently candidate for
orders in the Episcopal Church" This,
permit me to say, for the sake of truth, and
the honor of the church, was not the case.
1t is a fact, however, that this somewhat
distinguished parsonage, after deeming it
expedient to leave Canada, whittier he had
retired while in connexion with the Metho-
dists; or rather, perhaps, not finding it
pleasant to remain there, on account of the
good administration of justice in her Males.
tvs courts and after few of the incidents
to which you allude, visited Nashotah, in
the diocese of Wisconsin, on his way to
Minnesota, in 1849, and did then and there,
talk, and only talk, with the authorities of
that diocese, on the subject of becoming a
candidate for orders. And, believe, the
good Bishop was rather favorably impressed
with his appearance, as my Lord Brougham
no doubt, must have been, while slipping
coffee with him. But when Professor
Adams, who looks quite as deeply into
character as he does into other things, cast
his eagle eve upon him, and gave him to
understand that he would be required to
spend four or five years in close study, be-
fore he could, under any circumstances, be
admitted to orders, he abandoned the no.
ton, and, as we sometimes say here at the
West, vamoosed," and turned his atten.
ton to other matters. George, most prob
ably, had read the account of the men in
Gil Bias, who became rich by attending to
the affairs of the poor and at this time he
had grand scheme of an Indian Republic,
between two rivers west of the present
boundaries of Minnesota, to be planted and
managed by himself, with funds contributed
by the charitable. In connection with this
magnificent plan, like some Others no bets
ter qualified for the Office, he dreamed of
becoming Bishop in these goings down
of the sum-"

TO the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat:
CHICAGO. May 20, 1860.
Chicago, during the past forty.eight
hours, has been convulsed with terrible
panic, the cause and nature of which you
will have learned by telegraph before this
reaches your readers. The all-absorbing
topic of discussion anywhere and everywhere
throughout this city, and presume through
out and beyond the limits of the State, is
the currency-or, as everybody calls it,
"stumptail." The excitement and interest
felt by all classes of the people in the pro.
gress of the civil war has measureably
abated, for one hears nothing else spoken Of
but "stumptail currency" was at the
Board of Trade rooms yesterday and have
not for many years experienced two hours
of such excitement. Business men repre-.
senting every branch of trade were convened
there in scores, gathered in groups of tens
and twenties, talking boisterously and ex-
citedly about the extremities to which all
classes are reduced, and the utter prostra.
tion of business of every kind. Merchants
were there, participating in the excitement,
who rarely ever attend on Change. Indi-
vidual firms in this city are losers to the
extent of fifty, seventy five and hundred
thousand dollars by the panic. Many of
the firms who signed the petition to sustain
the currency of certain banks have lost
heavily. And many of them deserve to lose.
They were acting in bad faith, paying out
but refusing to take "stumptail' under any
circumstances. At the Board of Trade
rooms yesterday, few sales of wheat were
made at one dollar and thirty five cents per
bushel. against the price of one dollar and
twenty cents in New York. Exchange
was eagerly sought after at forty and fifty
per cent, and but precious little was sold at
that. You may gather from these little facts
something of the condition of things here,
and the excitement throughout the State is
none the less. All holders of Illinois
"stumptail" must lose at least one>half of
their earnings. No one seems to know
what the banks are going to do in this
emergency. COMMITTEES from the various
business interests meet, discuss and adjourn,
without any satisfactory result. The cry
now is, "crush out the worthless stuff, and
give US gold and silver" Those who suffer
most by this state of affairs are the labor
ing classes, and unless the banks pursue a
wise course, there is certainly very great
danger of some more or less prominent men
melting mob. The combustibles are all in
place, and some reckless men are desperate
enough to apply the match.

Number and Disposition of Troops

WASHINGTON, May 22.-There are now
thirty-two strong regiments under arms
here, including two of regulars. Gen.Scott
wants 10000 men along the banks of the
Ohio and Mississippi, which precludes the
idea that any very large force is coming
upon Harper's Ferry from the West. AT
present the Government don't seem to care
much about that point.
The second regiment of regulars in Min
nesota, the companies of dragons, artillery
and infantry in Utah, and the fifth and sew
enth regiment of infantry In New Mexico,
and part of the tenth regiment, are also all
ordered here. Minnesota will be guarded
by the first regiment of Minnesota volun.
teers, and New Mexico by two regiments
of volunteers raised by the Government.

Three of the much talked of big guns
arrived at Cairo Wednesday night, and five
more ARE on the way from Pittsburg and

ground for mounting them has already com.
menced. 1t is proposed to make a strong
redoubt, using the Mississippi and Ohio
levees for two sides, and running another
embankment to connect them, enclosing five
acres. This will be all done Immediately.

"Stumptair' Currency--Speech of Gov.
Banks--Down Oh Shinplasters--Sen.
Douglas.

To the Editors of the Pioneer and Democrat:
CHICAGO, May 22 1861.
So far as the Illinois "stumptail" curren~
cy is concerned, all remains in uncertainty
and doubt. Meetings of Board of Trade,
eloquent speeches, spread all over with APP
peals to the patriotism, forbearance, and
confidence of the dear people, resolves and
re-resolves, cannot impose upon the people
any longer the miserable trash called Illinois
currency.
Last evening an immense meeting of the
business men of the city was held, to decide
what was best to be done in this crisis of
money. You will have seen reported in
the press here that the several committees,
representing nearly all the business interests
in the city, agreed to take the money of
some thirty-one banks at par. was pres
ent at the time the vote was taken, and do
say, positively, that the proposition was
voted down by vote of two to one
The speech of Governor Banks was mas
terly effort, and his views were eminently
practical and sound. He showed that the
whole banking system, of this State, was a
fraud upon the people, in the manner in
which it is conducted. Confidence with the
people, in the currency, could only be re-
stored by the bankers making good the Sc
curities. Would they do this, so long as
the people were fools enough to receive the
money at par? He argued that the only
way the community could do, to protect
themselves from loss, was to take the money
for just what it was worth, and no more.
The currency which these business men now
propose again to receive at par, there is no
time specified as to how long they will re-
ceive iD is worth about eighty cents. This
money will not buy exchange, and cannot
be made pass dollar for dollar.
The safest and surest thing for the people
is to reject all Illinois currency-drive it.,
at once and speedily, out of the State. The
Illinois Central Railroad have 100000 of
this money on hand, and other roads have
from $4,000 to $4,000. They will be
glad enough to pay it out to the farmer for
his wheat and corn.
Chicago, who prides herself, and justly,
on being the hub of the West,-the great
commercial centre of mighty people and
a vast territory,-is really reduced to a
pretty predicament. Doing an annual
trade of $15O,000.000, she is now about to
undertake to carry on her business on a
currency of about 100000 circulation,
and at from ten to fifteen per cent. discount
at that. Until confidence is restored, and
the banks show themselves ready and will
ing to become responsible for their bastard
shinplasters, all business here will be virtu-
ally suspended. Good currency will not
come into the State to contest with @stump-
