''NoT YET READY. The grand naval and
military expedition, which has been so long
in preparation, to descend the Mississippi riv-
er, will not, it is said, commence to move as
soon as expected. 1t is now declared that
the troops must wait until they are better
armed and equipped; that the cavalry regi-
ments are not fit for service, and that to move
an army against Coumbus-the very Sebas-
topol Of the Mississippi--unders such circum-
stances would be the height of folly.

BEAUTIES OF Civil WAR.--A letter from
Louisville, Ky, says that full one half the
families Of that city have members serving in
both armies, and that in the State il is more
frequent to meet cases Of that kind, than of
families that are all on one side. We give
the following prominent cases:
General McCook, of the federal forces. and
the Confederate Buckner are cousins. Ex-
Governor Helms, the bitterest Of Secessionists.
has a brother the strongest Of Unionists. The
mayor Of the city has brother in Buckner's
army. George d. Prentice, of the Journal,
has one son in the federal army, while anoth-
er has Joined the conlederates OF Two Of J +.
j. Crittenden's sons, one is Brigader Gen
eral Of the U. s., the other a Brigader Gem
eral of the Confederates. The Colonel Of the
advance guard Of tbs federal forces at Camp
Nevin, has brother holding the same posi-
ton at Bowling Green"

asa- The banks in New York, Philadelphia
ana Boston suspended specie payments on the
soth ult., and of course, the banks all over
the country must do the same. The Govern
ment also, has ceased to pay its notes in
specie Thus in four months after commen-
cling the issue of paper money, it has not only
broke down itself, but carried all the banks
with it,
There is a project now before Congress to
allow every company that can raise one hum
bred thousand dollars in government: bonds,
to issue their notes endorsed by the govern
ment. This will give us plenty of money,
such as it is; but to help on the cause, they
propose to make their paper a legal tender in
payment of debts between all individuals
The Constitution says that the general gov
ernment may coin money and regulate the
value thereof and that no State shall make
anything but gold and silver legal tender in
payment Of debts. But no matter, necessity
reigns, and win have his way The effect of
this If carried into effect win be, that those
who owe debts will pay them with much less
value: while those who live on salaries, or
the interest of money, will find their fortunes
decreased in proportion to the depreciation of
the notes of the banks or the government.

CoSrRABASD NEcRoEs.-There is n notable
plan anongstso some of the leading abolitionists
in Congress TO settle the question Of contra
band negroes in the Southern States. II Is
10 take away the lands from the Cherokee In
diana west Of Arkansas which were guaran-
teed to them forever by treaty with the Uni
ted States; to send the negroes there under
task masters appointed by government, to
raise cotton for the northern manufacturers
and to conceal the nature Of the transaction,
TO cali the negroes apprentices Thus the U.
States In protesting to free the slaves of the
South, would become the greatest slave owner
in the country.
More than three hundred years ago, the hui
name Las Casas, 10 prevent the Indians from
being destroyed in the West Indies and Mex
leo, by their task-masters, the Spaniards, pro-
poted the employment of negroes as a harder
and less sensitive race: but now our philan-
thropists wish to destroy the Indians for the
sake Of the negro. Who was the most hui
name, the S?aniard or the Yankee?
