Higher Interest.

Some broker, note shaver or note shaver's
tool. in the Ohio Legislature is endcavOr-
ing to have the legal rate of interest raised
to teu per cent, again. 1t would be natu.
raj to suppose that thu past ten per cent
experience of Ohio was sufficient to teach
cur weu!d-be- wise currency tinkcrs to let
the present rate of interest alone. The
people will have burdens enough to bear
for the next five years, in the shape Of
heavy taxes, and high tariff, without being
saddled with any ten per cent laws, to put
money in the pockets of the -shylOcks
that would suck the life blood from com
munity.
Six per cent is as high 4 rate Of interest
as any business man can afford to pay,
and it is as high as the people of Ohio wish
the legal rate to be.

ZOllicofFer. They left their dead on the

The loss on the Federal side was heavy

Bishop MeIlzaine-

This gentleman, Who is now in England,
was recently invited by Hon. Arthur Kin.
naird to meet a few clergymen to make a
statement relative to the American crisis.
The venerable bishop said as regarding the
North the war was not ostensibly against
slavery, but against rebellion; the South
being. on the other hand. avowedly fight
ing for slavery. Although the liberation
OF the slaves vas thus not the aYowed
object Of the war, it Hould-in tie event

"Abolitionists" and the friends of a pra1.

districts occupied by the northern expedi-
tlonary forces showed themselves to be

GOV. pennison,s Messaga.

Owing to the fact that all of the space
in our paper of last week was occupied By
the farewell Message of Gov. Denuison and
the inaugural of Gov. Tod, we made no
comments upon either, and the interest and
value ofthose two documents are a sufficient
excuse for the lack of other matter at that
time. 1t is hoped that the length of Gov.
Dennison's Message did not prevent any
who Ike the slightest interest in the af-
fairs Of Ohio, from rcadingit it, asst was full
of the most valuable information, and all
who have read it must be convinced of the
ability and integrity Of the man who has
held tho Lein Of the ship ef state during
the widest storm which Ohio has ever
Eeen. No man who has ever occupied the
~gubennatorial Chair of this State has been
mere abused than Gov. Dennison, and
none SO causelessly; none has ever been
surrounded with such difficulties. and none
has performed such hcrculean labors, in
spite OF them. The day will come when
the merits of Gov. Dennison will be &C
knowledged by all. and history will do
hin the justice which some Of his cotem-
porarfes arestardy in bestowing now.

The Fight at Prestonburg.

Prestonburg is about twelve miles be-
yond Paintville. After the Cavalry Skin
mish at the latter place, Col. Garfield push
ed on with the advance of his Brigade for
Prestonburg. Before reaching that place
he found the enemy posted on and behind
a range of hills. The Federal force FORM
ing the advance was less than seven hun
dred. Col. Garfield at once prepared to
make an attack.
A body of the enemy was posted on a
commanding hill, and it became necessary

volunteered for the service, as they knew
the nature of the ground. Said Col. Gar
FIELD. Go in boys; give them-Haz
Coium6ia!"
The hill was cleared, and soon the re-
serve of the Brigade came in at a double
quick. As soon as he saw them Col. Gar
field pooled off his coat, and flung it up in
the air, where it lodged in a tree, out Of
reach. The men threw up their caps with
a wild shout, and rushed at the enemy,
Col. Garfield, IN his shirt S~Leeres, leading
the way.
As the Federal troops reached the top
of the hill arebel officer shouted in surprise,
"Why, how many of you are there?" 3D.
600 men, d YOU" yelled a Kentucky
Union officer, rushing at the rebel. In
an instant the rebels broke and run in
utter confusion.
Several instances of personal daring and
GOODNESS are related. A member of Capt.
Bushnell's company in the 42d, "a about

the cartridge from bis fingers. Coolly face
ing the direction from which the shot came

The rebels burned most of their camp
squipage and baggage. Some arms fell
into the possession of our forces, and a
large number of knapsacks and oyereoats.
The property found was wretchedly poor,

ment of our forces, the main body being

The Bank Suspension Bill.

Below we publish the bill passed by the
Legislature authorizing the temporary sus-
pension Of specie payment by the banks Of
Ohio. All the banks will probably continue
to pay specie to their customers. for bust
ness purposes, and the design Of the bill
is only to protect the banks from the bro
kers ard sAavers who would draw the
specie from them and sell it elsewhere
The banks are strong, now, have plenty of
specie, any they can now remain in that
condition. We omit the preamble of the
Bill.
