for the past Week
The leading disturbing feature in the
money market, during the week, was Ken
lucky bank currency more marked line
of distinction having been drawn between
it and the currency of the Ohio and Indiana
State banks, than existed the previous
week. Bankers now take it as a special de-
pOsit, consequently at the risk of the de-
positor, and in this way the burden or risk
is thrown upon the latter whilst the cur
rency is kept in circulation and passes in
trade in the city. It is being sent home,
however, rapidly, and the indications are
that the Kentucky banks will not be able
to hold out against such a run upon them,
and therefore the fear is pretty general that
they will be compelled to suspend specie
payment, which would place their paper at
a discount of 5 per cent at oace AS COM
pared with the paper of the banks of this
State and Indiana, it is now virtually at
discount of 21G93 per cent, as exchange
on New York can be bought at J prem
with the paper Of these States, whilst it
sells at 3033 prem. for Kentucky currency.
Of course, the causes of the depreciation of
the Kentucky paper, which has heretofore
stood high, is the probability of the State
seeding, and assuming hostile position to
the United States Government.
The indications last evening were that the
Kentucky currency would be thrown out
by the bankers to-day.
The demand for exchange on the East
has been but moderate. The quotations
are as follows at the close, as regards the
selling rates

But it is unnecessary to enumerate the many
cases in which these purely vegetable medicines
have been successful but let us enquire: Why are
they SO universal in their happy effects
Because they purify the blood and thus reno
vate all cause of disease in the system.
Because they act powerfully upon the secretiOns
of the body, aud remove all impurities at once.
Because they do not reduce the system, but invig-

A PERIODICAL SOUTHERN DELusIoN.-In
another column will be found document of
some interest at the present moment-the ad-
dress of the Southern Commercial Convention
recently held at Macon, This makes the fifth
or sixth of these Southern commercial con-
crosses which have taken place since Mr..
Calhoun started at one of them his theory ofthe
commercial independence of the South based
on the idea that our rivers and lakes are inland
seas, which should be made exclusively tribu-
tary to its wealth. Their labors have never
resulted in anything, for the single reason that
they could not alter either the physical features
of the country or the natural laws, which make
the inhabitants Of the Northern States a manu-
featuring, while those of the South can never
be anything but an agricultural people. If, ac-
cording to their own admissions in this address
they have never, while furnishing the world
with sugar and cotton, been able to establish
credit in foreign markets, how are they to do
so when they will be staggering under the
burthen of taxation imposed by this
unnatural war? We can tell them, further, that

RAPID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WASHINGTON
AND RICHMoND-There are plenty of active
agents in Washington. 1t will be remembered
that when President Lincoln made his first call
for seyenty-fye thousand men, jeff Davis on the
following day.issued proclamation calling for
hundred and fifty thousand; and now that the
President has issued proclamation interdict-
ing all commercial intercourse by sea or land
with the States in rebellion, we find it as active
ly responded to by the rebel chief, who CON-
mands all Northerners to leave the Southern
States within forty days from the date of his
proclamation. These are public facts, it is
true, but they show that before Washing
ton news is we'll promulgated at the North it is
known in Richmond. The government ought
to organize detective corps to prevent these
facilities of communication being enjoyed by
the insurrectionists and it would be desirable
at the same time to look into the several de-
partments and sweep the secessionists, some of
whom are doubtless rebel agents, out of the ser
vice. That men are aiding and assisting the
rebels under the very eye Of the federal govern
ment at Washington is notorious, and their not
having been frustrated in their designs before
this shows that there is great neglect of duty
somewhere.

RECRUITING BOUNTIES-By an order from the
War Department the two dollars bounty per
man, hitherto paid to persons obtaining re-
cruits, has been abolished AS this has caused
some dissatisfaction, an explanation of the poll
cy that has dictated it becomes necessary.
A bill was brought before Congress last ses-
sion authorizing the War Department to give
as bounties to the three months volunteers, on
re-enlistment, the sums of thirty, forty
and fifty dollars, under certain specified
conditions. For this was wisely substi-
tuted law adding two dollars a month
to the pay of the soldier. There was no object
of economy in the change, for while under the
first bill the recruit would get only $50, unless
when enlisting with company or regiment,
under the second he obtains by the above
addition to his pay for the three years S72.
The difference as against the government
will be seven millions of dollars-the
aggregate amount Of the additional pay
for the volunteer force for the three
years being twelve, while that of the $50
bounty would be only five millions. OF the
moral advantage of this arrangement there can
be no doubt. When the soldier gets bounty
he is apt to dissipate it at once, his family de-
irving no benefit from it; whereas, by the pre-
sent system, he can easily be induced to allo-
cate his monthly pay, or portion of it, to the
support Of those dependant upon him. Tho
bounty to persons obtaining recruits has been
abolished, from the belief that the addition
made to the soldiers pay viii be sufficient in
dacement to compensate for its necessity.

How CAME We TO LOSE GEN Lyoy2-r.rr
Us LOOK THE Truth IN THE FAoE.-Post NOR
tenn examinations are instructive rather than
pleasant. BY the lurid light which they throw
upon the nature OF disease, keen-eyed science is
sometimes enabled to devise the appropriate
remedy in similar subsequent cases. Let liz
listen to the voice of instruction, though 1t s-
sues from the tomb; let us look truth in the
face, although she wears frown.
How, then, did we happen to lose the daring,
dashing, dauntless Lyon, with several hundred
men, merely for the achievement of drawn
battle, at best? The answer is clearly given in
the first full account from the battle field. The
writer says:-"W With two more regiments We
should have driven the enemy entirely
from the valley, and with a proper cavalry
force could have followed such victory with
decisive results"
why were there not two tmore regimentsy
why was there not ga proper cavalry force~
on our side at that bloody battle? Do any
visions of men, slaughtered through their ineiii-
ciency-do grim ghosts of men, doomed to o pro-
ftless death--rise up from that CORY battle field
to haunt the visions Of the military authorities
at Washington! Regiments might have been
had. They craved it as privilege, boon, to
fight and die, if need be, for their country. Cav
airy, hardy and brave, was offered to the govern
ment The accounts say that the "Iowa troops
fought like tigers" 1t was at the head of them
that Lyon fell. "Give us leader" they shout
ed to him, "and we will follow to DEATH" Com
posed of Just such men from that same State
was the cavalry which was offered weeks ago,
and discOurteously declined. "Tell them to
raise corn" was the stolid answer. It was in
vain that the representations were made that
while they were not used to working in corn
fields, they were accustomed to eat corn and
bacon, to live in the saddle from daylight to
dark, and sleep at night leaning against tree.
1--WE don't want cavalry" was the brief but de-
cisive rejoinder.
1t is thus that all the expense, all the labor,
all the blood put into this glorious cause en-
trely thrown away A little more, properly
expended in season, would save all. We do all
that it is possible to do and lose; we leave un-
done the little essential additional, without
which we cannot win Brave and competent
generals are scarce. No army prolific in men
like Lyon. No cause can afford many such
SACRIFICES: Will they. can they, at Washington,
profit by the terrible one which we have just
suffered? 4,
