The redeemed Treasury Notes were paid in by

as the balance Of trade with Europe continues
in favor of this country, and the gold We have
here remains with us, there appears to be no
danger in the bold and patriotic action Of the
Banks ia coming to the relief of the Treasury to the
extent OF $50, ,000 and no reason 10 fear dis
aster should they 20 on next year and take two or
three hundred millions more, trusting to the natural
absorbing power of public investment to gradually
relieve them Of the burden. The mails between this
city and Washington have been irregular during the
week, and 10 doubt some reimbursement drafts have
been issued which have not yet been received
at the Sub-Treasury. The amount reimbursed this
week is only $57l 900. The aggregate is about 10 v
cent on the first fifty millions, leaving the Banks
about sc, 900 600 in advance to the Government As
the first fifty millions nearly all sold to the public

For the benefit Of our timd friends, who are ap-
prehensive of war with England, we may state
that the freight agent of the New-York Central Rail
road, who has Just returned from Canadian tour,
after making extensive arrangements with the mer-
chants Of London, Hamilton, and Toronto, for the
transmission of freight TO them by his line from
Europe, states that he never once in all his tour,

CoMMUNICATED.l

We have been requested to call the at
tention Of the public to the sale of the Es-
tate of the late William McKenna and er.
spec tally 10 the fact, that the terms of sale
are precribsd by the Doed Of Compromise
and not by the Executors who arc control
ed by the Deed made between tho parties
interested. 1t is unusual for 40 large a
mass Of property to be sold in one District,
and it has dsvolvsd on the Executors to OK.
srciss their discretion, in very few particu.
lars, for the Deed also precribes that the
sale should bs made "as soon after the frat
day Of January next after the date of the
Deed Ne may be convenient and advanta.
gsous."
They have endenvored b. particular aG'
vertisement Of the property, and AZ curly
and extensive as seemed practicable, to in
vits the attention Of purchasers from as
wide area, and with view to attract the
confidence of all, both FAR and near. They
have placed the conduct Of the sale under
the management Of Auctioncers, of long
established reputation, from Charleston,
who are well known. over the entire South,
a. men Of correct business habits, and per
sonnl probty.
ln thi, they may have excited some sur.
prise; but they feel assured, that little
reflection will satiiy all consijerate and
candid persons, that th. arrangement will
probably promote the beat interest Of all.
The disporsl of SO much property requires
n large crowd; and it's attendance eau be
secured only through such proceedings as
will establish confidence, among persons,
who are remote from the District, and not
impair that of our own people.
The Executors do not indulge the hope
that in all respects, they could succeed in
doing everything as everybody may have
expected but they believe ;hey have done
the best for all concerned, and they know
they have endeavored to do so.
Of one thing the community may res,
assured, that there can be no change either
Of the time or terms of sale; unless, events
beyond human control shall defeat the
present purpose /; and preparations may be
made accordingly.

call was made upon the Lower Battalion, ear
one hundred persons promptly stepped TO- .
ward and rendered their services. The Regi-
ment was then marched to the Court House
square, where it was addressed by DR.. r. L.
Crawford. The address was one of the most
chaste and patriotic that it has ever been our
good fortune to listen to- 1t was received with
loud applause. We believe that our people
are fully aroused to the struggle which now
seems inevitable. Serious and stern resolve
was visible in the countenances of every think
ing man.

gros were sold by the Commissioner in
Equity at, what We considered very fsir
prices. Two fellows about thirty five years
old sold, one for $3.50 and the other
for 1880. They were nothing more than
ordinary field hands. Our people have no
fears Of the permanency Of our peculiar
institution.
Several parcels of real Estate, principally

State instead Of tho Federal Government.
He urged that in the territory still within
the possession of the Federal Government,
tho law was to be enforced, by civil process,
and not by armies and navics. Even the
legal posse must be under civil officer.
After the Government de facto of the
seeding State had bsen established, then
war might be made to recover the territory,
but he warned gentlemen the war was dis.
