higher as the end OF every weak than they

poor man will soon find himself reduced to
that distressing condition in which q days
marketing will cost him weeks wages.
BY the way, I have just heard two facts
mentioned which would seem to show that no
pause IN the utterance Of Treasury notes is
contemplated BY that officer. A gentleman

The government and the Richmond paper mill

The Richmond Wig, OF the 10th, says:
This brilliant, cnterprlslDg and able officer
has bcen assigned TO duty in the Transmits
sissipri Department, his district comprising
Il xsf, Arizona and New Mexico. I'VE are
sure 'Dat everything necessary for Ibis de-
fense Of his district will b. done by General
Magruter, 50 IoIg as means and men are tur-
nlsnsd bin. The public had hoped that they
would have his services In field where III y
may be more needed than in Texas; never
the1ese, they are sure tina. wherever he m,y
BE- stationed, he will win honor and distiuc-
tlon for himself, and render efficient service
t,the Confederxcy.
