Confederate Notes.-Currency

gentleman of unquestionable veracty, informed Us
this morning of circumstance which requires explana
tion and which on the face Of it looked like refusal to
take Confederate money the part of of our Banks
The facts seem to be that the gentleman wished to OBJ
tain small bills-currency. to speak-for large Con-
ederate bills and refused in such manner as con-
veyed the impression that the Bank refused to take or
discredited Confederate notes.
The facts, as given to US BY the President Of the
Bank are that the small bills were not given was
simply that the Bank did not have them to give. Last
month, in accordance with the request of Treasurer
Courts, the banks commenced gathering in as many
Confederate notes they could in exchange for the
own currency in order to place them at the disposal
the State Treasury, for the payment of the State'
quota of the Confederate war tax, expecting to re
ceive in exchange, State Treasury notes, to be uset
| by them as currency. Treasurer Courts now inform
them that be has negotiated State BOMBS, with certain
parties in Richmond, who pay the States quota there
for in Confederate notes. and that therefore be does
want the Confederate notes that the Banks have col
change of State Treasury notes fer them to supply tn
Banks with az available currency to be used for purpose
of change Thus the Banks unable to make the chang
for any more large bills They have not the means to
it, The Bank in question has already got 10 eight
thousand dollars of Confederate money and of cours
would not dscredtlt, but will take G in all transacton
but from the circumstances above stated is unable
make change. We hear of nobody dreaming of refusn
to accept Confederate notes.

WATCH THE BR1DGEs.-Once again we would urge
upon all concerned the necessity of the most unring
vigilance in guarding the bridges different rail-
roads, especially the Wilmington and Weldon Road
An Infamous attempt to burn the Railroad bridge over
the Trent River at Newbern preceded and pesaged the
advance of the invading force against thatace There
remains no doubt but that the perpetrator Of that
attempted atrocty in the pay of the Federal lead
ers. The bridge the Neuse river short distance
this side Of Goldsboro ought to be specially watched
Who shallsay what attempt may not be made to slip
noiseessy up that river of these dark nights and
cunnngly apply the torch, rather other dabo
ca continuance for the destruction Of the bridge.
L1NcoLNs special message to the Northern Congress
is certainly peculiar document but it is not different
from the suggestions in bis regular message 1t is hu
initiating it is pitfu to witness the pleadngs the be-
seedlings of John J. Orittenden and other men from
slave States who have still chosen to cast their fate
Nth the North and against their section and the
own people. They are helplessly tied to the car o.
Northern aggression, and can only plead for mercy al

ARMY MATTERs.-We are pleased to learn that Capt
ForDey George, of Company G, 18th Regiment N. G. t.
has been elected Major Of that regiment to fill the
cancy occasoned by the resignation of Major George
TAFT. We have no doubt but that the selection will
prove to be most excellent one in every respect.
We are also pleased to learn that Lieutenant John
McIhenny has received authority both from the State
and Confederate government to raise light artillery
company, and that he has secured fine battery with
the assurance of horses and all necessary arms and equip
ments We have no doubt but our young friend will
make as dashing commander of battery as he has
already shown himself to be of section

Don't Go Away-Don't Speculate.

That at the approach of menaced danger, persons
who have the opportunity of removing their families
should avail themselves of that opportunity no more
than natural All the noncompliance that can be re-
moved the better-at least it can do no HARM But let
all the men who have an interest in the town, in the
country in the cause, who can aid in its Defense stay
and share the risks with their fellow citizens and do
their duty to the best of their ability wherever that
dutymay call them. We know where duty does not
call any man. 1t does not call him to try to make mon
ey cut OF the public Distress to speculate upon the food
necessary for the support of families or the articles OF
wearing apparel demanded by decency and comfort
There is surely heouen for men who would persist
in doing so. They surely do not care much for the
country on this EARTH in which it has pleased Providence
to cast their lot, since they could hardly adopt plan
more likely to nure its than that which they
pursuing from interested motives Oh, let this sort o.
thing STOP both in town and country, for speculation
and extortion is not confined to residents of towns By
any means. Let assist not try to take advantage
| each other.

BURNING CoTToN.-We learn on the best authority
that Peyton Atkinson, Esq Of Pitt County, North
Carolina, has already burned eight hundred bales OF
cotton on one of his plantations rather than that it
should remain liable to the plunderng raids of the
my. When a man thus voluntarily sacrifices over
thirty thousand dollars worth OF his own property from
sense of patriotic duty he gives the most convincing
evidence that he belongs indeed to people who are
terribly in earnest" and will shrink from no sacrifices
of private interest that the cause may demand.
Mr.. Atkinson is not alone. The patriotic planters
of Pitt Edgecombe and other exposed counties de-
termined that OF their cotton shall fall into the
hands of the invaders

discipline which differently regarded from different
stand points, the discussion of which, think through

Last evening we were panied to learn by telegraph
that the Geographic agent for the Press, VIM. d.
Pritchard, ESQ., had died suddenly at Richmond OF Dip
iberia.
Mr.. Pritchard bad some few weeks since visited
Atlanta Ca to be present at the convention of repre-
sentaves of the Southern Press and it seems but the
other day that he was in Office on his return to Rich
mond, where be had bis headquarters. He was then
apparently in full health, and remarkably robust for
man over fifty years of age. 1t would seem that he
contracted violent cold which brought on the disease
resulting in his sudden death.
Our acquaintance with Mr. Pritchard arose out OF bis
relations to the Press first reporter for the former
Associated Press and since that had ceased to exist
as general tegraphc agent for the Southern Press
in all of which relations found him industrious, &C
commodatiDg and trustworthy. We had grown to re-
gard him as friend and respect him as man, and in
his death we feel loss immediate than the mere
disruption of business arrangement, for we presume
that the business will still be carried on by the assist
ants and upon the system which the deceased had organ
led Mr. Z. was a Printer himself, are 30 many OF
