A MEAN man never agrees to anything
without deliberately turning it over, so that
he may see its dirty side, and, if he can,
sweating the coin he pays for it. If an arch
angel should offer to save his soul for six
pence, he would try to find sixpence with a
hole in it

JERusALEM.-A correspondent of the Liv-
erpool Mercury, writing from Rome, states
that French officers have latterly been very
busy in obtaining information respecting Je-
rusalem and the state of things in that quar-
ter. He adds that they had been taking
measurements in several localities, particu-
larly the ground that lies about the Mosque
ofOmar on Mount Moriah. From Jerusalem
they had gone to Hebron, GAIA and other
points, for the like purpose. 1t was also
currently reported that body of French
troops was shortly to go to Jerusalem, while
another would be stationed at Jatf;,, and
third on Mount Carmel.
AT Beyrout, he says, the French officers
openly affirmed that their Government had
no intention of Withdrawing the force sent
out, but were about to employ them shortly
on new and very different errand to that for
which they ostensibly came. The French
were also actively employed in making road
from the Holy City to Damascus, along which
they were erecting houses at certain inter-
walls. 1t is said that such scheme as this
intelligence shows to be in the course of de-
velopment, points to the realizing of Pho
Nono's favorite plan of removing the seat of
the Papacy to Jerusalem.

BE- Mr. George woffiin returned night
before last on the Autocrat from the South.
he reports much more Union feeling both at
Memphis and New Orleans than we are led
to believe. Western men are not only not
molested, bat are kindly treated. OF course
ii a Lincoln man should go there and parade
his views extensively he would receive some
worse fare probably than 4" cold shoulder, -
but if he attends to his business and refrsins
from talking politics his stay will be pleas
ant Mr. Violin and Mr.. Levi Iglehart,
who returned few days ago, were both
treated as gentleraen should be. An absurd
story that got afoat here about Mr. Wolfin
meeting with violence was cruel hoax
calculated to make his friends uneasy, and
utterly without foundation. The person
who started it deserves censure. We thank
Mr.. W. for a bundle of late papers furnish

BagT The decline of the price of Eastern
exchange in Chicago has reduced the rate of
discount On Illinois, Wisconsin, ard Iowa
currency at Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and
OF course at other business points. In Indi-
annapolis the above currency was received
by the banks at seven per cent. discount
on the 9Th. In Cincinnati the brokers buy
at about per cent. discount and sell at D
Ga. Here this currency, although not re-
ceived by the banks, has all along been
passed from hand to hand at par, and some-
how our business men have disposed Of it
without much loss. 1t has constituted the
bulk of our currency. The retail dealers
have professedly sold goods at the custom
ary prices in exchange for it; and in this
way inconvenience has been avoided. 1t is
hoped that busiaess will soon revive and
that all such trouble will be done away
with.
We have just learned that Mr.. Copeland
broker on First street, buys this currency
at 5 per cent. discount.
