this kind heretofore this session, but failed,to
carry it further than in connection with the

relative to whites IS general here, though ex-

DEPRECIATION oF r.HKEE TREASURY so7Es.

The sudden and rapid depreciation Of
Treasury notes continues, and has not touch
cd bottom. Reasons of a business charac-
ter are given for this fact, but they do not
reach the case. 1t is true that American se-
curities are sent over from Europe for sale,
and that foreigners having property here arc
converting it into gold. 1t is also believed
tnat the war for the next year will be as cost
ly as for the past year, and that it must be
sustained b. further issues of Treasua:: pa
yer. But there is reason behind sll this, to
wit: that many Of the most intelligent people
abroad believe that this Federal Government
is broken up and cannot be restored. At

GEa. rIELE AID THE LADIES OF H0RFoLE,
4 committee Of ladies Of Norfolk recently
addressed letter to Gen. Fiele, asking his
influence with General Dix and the Surgeon
General to send the wounded Confederate
soldiers to Norfolk, that they might visit
them and try TO alleviate their sutlerings--
To this request General Yieie replied as fol-
lows:
"If the committee you represent were to re-
quest that they might receive and alleviate the
sutferings Of wounded soldiers, without refer
ence to the side on which they are lighting III
this unhappy war, think the request would
meet with great consideration. Surely 1t is
no part of woman's mission TO nurture the
seeds of deatl: strife, nor should her minis
terings at the bed OF suffering be prompted
bv any other motive than desire to mitigate
its pangs, whether for friend or foe. Rather
let it be her aim to pour oil upon the troubled
waters, to seek By holy influence to calm the
fierce hatred engendeled by civil war, and to
show the nation that there is weapon surer
vet, and better than the bayonet.' TO make
any distinction between the wounded would
surely not tend TO this"

as to warrant the belief that the quota OF

dsnos county, upon the White river, Just
oOoTe the junction with the Big Black, and
about forty miles from the northern bOun-

Union sentiment in that section is most
cheering. The inhabitants are voluntarily
coming In 70 the General end taking the
oath Of allegiance, which they haze always
been ready to tske when they could be Pre-
ssetsd IN it. The State Of Arkansas is de-
