Easy times in Texas.

The New Orleans Picayune, has news from
Texas to the following effect.
The Mexicans are buying the cotton from the
Texans, paying 90plOc. er pound, in gold. The
Texans procure the bagging and rope from the
Mexicans, and everything is at moderate prices.
That portion Of Texas is well supplied with gold
and silver currency. Provisions are plentiful at
very low prices--pork being only four cents per
pound, and corn thirty cents per bushcl. Dry
goods can be purchased in the little towns at
prices which would astonish The people in the old
States of the Confcderacy. There is no disposi'
ton to buy up everything for sale and run ur
prices.
The people Of Texas haze not felt the effects
Of the war in the least. They are well supplied
with provisions, clothing and money, and are pro-
crossing happily ms IT, there was but one Pres-
dent on this continent. Texas just at this time,
may be regarded as the "garden spot" of Amer

WAsuNesoN, Jan. 6.-Judge Hearne,
one of the 9 ounsel for Col Kerrigan,
emphatically contradicts the report that
evidence has been elected establishing
without doubt the charge Of having Civ
ing information to the enemy. The
evidence for the prosecution has not
yet been closed.
This committee will probably report
tomorrow the bill authorizing the Sec
retary Of Treasury to issue 800, 900, 900
of Treasury notes and to make them le.
gal tender, public and private, within
the United States, also make the uotc 8
authorized in July last legal tender.
General Mcclellan for the first time in
several weeks appcard out of doors to-
day, being able to tide in his carriage
He has nearly recovered his health.
In connection with the runners respect
ing the leakage of news from Washing
ton to the rebels, it is said the daughter
of high official is one of the guilty par.
ties.
1t is now well understood from the
Governments of the Rebels they were
aware of the designations of Burnsides'
Expedition. The story goes that it was
talked of in the family of the officer al
luded to, and by the daughter .communi-

Bank siOns.

Most of the Banks of all the States, Indiana
excepted, have suspended specie payment. 1t is
said that the Ohio Banks refuse to suspend. The
directors of the Banks of tho State Of Indiana
declare their determination not to suspend. In
Ohio the laws are such that u suspension of specie
payment for thirty days, or more, works for
fciturc of their charters. This provision of law
may be evaded by the banks suspending twenty
nine days, then paying specie one day, and again
suspcndng for twenty nine days more The paper
of suspended banks still continues to circulate
but no man knoweth the day nor the hour wher
it will be wholly valuocss. We would advise
persons holding paper trash to pay their debt
with it, and contract rs few d BITS as possible
Every thing indicates the approach of trying times
