The Colonial is well posted in his business,

ence OF the House and Senate, on the life
and character of Andrew Jackson Mr..
S. is young man Of Democratic ante
cecents, and is considered by his friends

friend OF his country.
Thursday, Mr.. Oldin. Of Montgomery,
Chairman of the Committee on Finance,
introduced bill giving B inks the privi.
lege of suspending specie payments, un.
til otherwise ordered, which passed its
6rst reading. A motion was then made
10 suspend the rules, that the bill might

are twenty five, Sight the bill hard To-
day, (Thursday,) the bill was read the
second time, and after all kinds of amend.
menls, offered by the Hard. Shells, were
voted down, it came up for eugrossmeut,
when Mr.. Flagg. of Htmilton, obtained
the floor. The House then ad joured.
Two bills passed their second reading
to day, both being for the relief of families
Of o V now in the service of U. S., or
the State OF Ohio One provides that the
State shall levy tax of one half mill on
all the taxable property Of the State. Sec.
Ell provides that the Assessors in 1869
shall take the enumeration OF all the vol.
unteers who have enlisted from their sew

ment showing the number oil volunteers
from their respective counties. Sec. 4, h
provides that the Auditor OF State shall
apportion the funds so raised, upon the
enumeration, and pay over the same 10
the County Treasurers at their semi
annual settlement, TO be disbursed by the
Commissioners, as at present. Both OF
the above bills are now in the hands OF
the Committee on Military Affairs. They
will most probably report in tavor of a
STATE levy. 1t is said some of the ablest
counties have but few men in the field, =,
and have not and will not levy any tax
for this purpose. unless obliged TO. 1t
will make but hllle difference with Geau.
ga, whether il is n State levy, or County,
as by the law OF 1861. The other Bill re.
iered TO above is the old law re enacted
January llth.
The main business OF the day has been
the engrossiug, third reading, and fnal
passage Of House Bill No. 3, granting
banks the right to temporarily suspend
specie payment. and ordering the County
Treasurers. and the Treasurer OF State 10
receive bills OF solvent Ohio Banks. and
demand notes OF the United States, in
payment OF taxes. The Hard Shells,
assisted by Flagg, of Hamilton. Tough,
the bill desperately. Flagg is Union
Democrat, man of fine ability, but one
o. the strong anti-banH men. Many Of
these Hard-Shells are good men as gen
eral thing, but, politically, they die hard.
Every kind OF motion was made. For in
stance : to take a recess, 10 adjourn, 10
lay on the tablet commit and re commit,
or call Of the House. &c, &C., Just TO con-
sumo time and stave off, Hubbell (Speak-
er) had hard day. The bill was put
through under the previous question.
which admits OF one motion TO adjourn,
one to lay on the table. and one call oil the
House only ,and we got them all each time.
The banks say, unless this bill can be
passed Immediately, it will be OF but little
use to them. Ii is said specie is going out
of Columbus, al the rate OF some $50, 900
per day. .....
