Washington letter, in speaking of the
intense anxiety felt regarding the course
to be recommended by Secretary Chase to
provide for the financial vents Of the
Government says that certain parties in
New York have offered one thousand dol
lars to the clerk who viii Arst ascertain
this point for their information. The Sec
retary has been subjected, for week past,
to the visits Of committees and individu-
ais representing the different financial
interests of the country. They have
swarmed upon him like the lOeusts Of
Egypt, disturbing the perplexed cypber-

trudipg upon the privacy of his home.
The correspondent says:
In spite Of the strong pressure in this di-
rection, it is thought that Mr.. Chase will
recommend the fuTthur issue Of Treasury
Notes. 1 hear one hundred and fifty mil
lions mentioned as the probable amount Of
the extension in this direction. Those al
ready issued have been absorbed by the
demands for currency, and they are very
popular with the people at large who arc
glad to rid themselves Of tbein greasy bank
bills in exchange for notes that are not to

they cross a State line

the way General Rosscraus has of dispos.

not be satisfied with the refusal of the Pro-

"one of these yesterday rushed up to
General Rosecrans, intruding herself be-

Hamilton, saying

In her last card Of ackhowl, dgment Of arti-
cles received at tho Evans House, Mrs Harri-
sen Gray OTIS relates the following Incident:
a. lady, Saem, Mass, $40. Twenty years
since valuable sapphire breast pir, encirrled
with brilhants, was stolen from u, lady in
Salem, Mass Every effort was unsuccessfully
made to discover the thief Recently asmall
package was left aller dark at the lady's dopr;
on examination il contained the long losl jewel
and $50 in new, crisp banknotes, one for each
year Of the retention Of the article restored by
the purloiner The money has been given to
sick and suffering soldiers. Thus il would
appear that some erring martal Ir'
r =. Has looked into his soul ...--,
And there beheld such black and grained spots
As will not leave their tint
and has resolved in his penitence to feel -s
A peace above all earthly dlgnitts,'
A still and quiet conscience."
Early Sunday morning tho body Of man
vas found lying beside the track Of the lowell
Railroad, short distance from the West Med

was shOckingly mangled, aud one Of bis arms
broken. The deceased name was John Nc.

A Coroner's T. quest was held by John =.

he being then lying upon the track in a state
Of intoxication, and that no blame can be at

IMPORTANT FROM NEwBERN. We
saw and converscd with very intelli-
gent lady on yesterday evening, in the
cars at the depot, who left Newbern on
Friday last. She belonged in Cal4-
well county in this State, and has been
absent at thc"North for sonic years at
school. She came home by way of
Newborn at which place she remained
three weeks. She says that troops
arrived there every week during her
stay, and her impression is that the
force IT present at Newbern cannot be
less than $4,000 men, consisting Of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery. She
says Yankee officers with whom she
convcsed talk freely of al advance in
this direction, and that Colonel told
her If she would wait a compile Of weeks
they would send her 10 Salisbury by
flag of tiuce from Raleigh. She says
that during her stay troops arrived
there from Massachusetts, New York
and New Jersey. The Yankee off;
GERS asked her if she knew anything
Of the finest residences at Raleigh,
that they should bring their families
to occupy them, &c. She represents
a number of guuboats in heriver and
the Notifications west Of the town as
very formidable. e..
- Here statements were very frank
and seemingly truthful and we4are dis
posed to place considerable confidence
IN what she says.
Of course our military authorities
will have something 10 say about the
advance. We are glad to learn that
Gen. Evans is in command at Kinston.

The above piece Of INFORMATION, will
undoubtedly provc.to De rare me1cs in

that ladies are not to DO trusted any
more than male rebels, especially, j

Pleasure and Advantages of Labor.

Pleasure and Advantages of Labor.
There is a very false notion in the
world respecting employment. Thou
sands imagine that if they could live
in idleness they would be perfectly
happy. This is a great mistake. Eva
cry industrious man and woman knows
that nothing is so tircsome as being
unemployed. During some seasons
the year VIC have holidays, and it is
pleasing on these occasions to see, the
operative enjoy himself; but we have
generally found that two or three days
recreation, the diligent mechanic or
laborcr becomes quite unhappy. Of
ten he sighs over the wretchedness Of
being idle. The fact is, we are made
to labor, and our health, comfort and
happiness depend upon eXertion.
Whether we look at our bodies or ex.
anime onr minds, everything tells us
that our Creator intended that we
should be active. Hands, feet, eyes
and mental powers, show that we were
born TO be busy. If we had been
made to be idle, a very large portion
of our bodily and mental faculties
would be redundant.-Neao York

II tie Yankee Journals are to be be-
lieved, tile whole Of the grand Amy
OF the Potomac under burnside, is
now in front OF Fredericksburg. But
We do not think tbs Yankee journals
are TO be believed. Heretofore they
have studiously. avoided saying any.
thing about army movements. This
silence they have been instructed to
by their masters at Washing
ton, under a threat Of arrest and in
carceration, if they disobeyed. Now,
that they all simultaneously announce
the departure of Burnside and his
army for fredericksburg, we think IS
very good evidence that Burnside and
his entire army have not gone to Fred
ericksburg. We may rest assured that
whatever route the Yankees may Sc
lect for an onward march to Rich
mond, their newspapers will be the
last TO give the Information.
We have good reason for stating
that Gen. Lee would be much gratifed
if the enemy would adopt, the Fred
