rho Sale OF Five-rwcn,io.

The sale of fve-twenties by jay,
Cook & Co, for the past four days footed
up over ten millions, thus: On Thurs
day, two million two hundred and forty
three thousand seven hundred on
Friday, one million two hundred and
eighteen thousand three hundred and
fifty; on Saturday, four million two
hundred and sixty-twO thousand nine
hundred and fifty; to. day, up TO 8 p. NJ,
two million five hundred thousand. The
Treasury Department is yet some ten
days b%ehindhand in deliveries on orders
The popularity Of the loan is the prin-
cipal cause Of the delay, for small orders
from country people of slender means
for 500 and $500 are immense in number.

We were conversihg a few days ago,
with a highly intelligent banker, from a
neighbOring city, a British subject, by
the way, on the value of the GIVE
twenties." He remarked az am a
British subject, but assure you that if
| we're about TO retire from business, l
would invest every dollar of my means
in these U. s. bonds. They are the
safest investment one can make of his
money. l know many Of my secession
friends who are quietly investing large
sums in these fve-twenties." This
gentleman was not interested one dollar
in the sale OF these bonds.

Gloomy (. rospoc

The Planters Banner isnow publ shed
at Franklin, Louisiana, the headquarters
of Gen SiBLEY. The leading article Of
a recent number is devoted to a discus.
sion Of the dark prospects of the South,
and the expression of fears of famine.
II say
From the beginning of the civil war
which now wages with such f~erocity in
the country, the South has been passing
through alternate bright and dark pc
RODS. Hopes and fears, sunshine and
Storm, veal and woe, have succeeded
each other as though ordered by Provi-
dence as heavens programme of the rev.
o%lution, Let no one fancy the South has
seen her last dark period. The next part
OF the programme may be famine and its
horr,d accomplishments.
II we have a dropth this season, and
such a thing ia probable, how can the
South feed the Northern and Southern
armies aud her own people? If they
succeed ia cutting off the supply Of beef
from Texas, destroy ing the crops, and
demoralize the slaves as far as their
armies extend their operations, what will
be the condition of the South another
winter, 1t the planters and culiivaiors of
the soil inside of the Confederate lines
do not apply their entire energies and
labor TO the raising of breadstufs and
prOvisiOnsl2
We learn that in lone partsl of Texas
and Louisiana cotton planters, carried
away with the hope of selling their cot
ton after the war for fifty or seventy five
cents per pound, are making arrange.
ments TO make all the cotton they posi-
bly, can, aud are paying but little at
tention to corn. If such a spirit should
prevail extensively, the South will vet
see such a suffering as she has never vet
seen before. We may as well look these
facts fairly in the face. The war Is not
yet over. We are not entirely safe. Toe
vigilance, diabOlical hate and despera-
ton Of the enemy may yet ruin the
South, IL our planters, as wen as our
generals and soldiers, and statesmen, do
not do their daty.

MISUNDERSTOOD, April 29.-About noon,
a report that the enemy was advancing,
in force, up Manchester Pike, created
great commOtion. Strong bodies Of troops
we're under arms, and general prepare
tons were made for battle.
Remembering attachments we're Pick-
eted five miles or more out, on the vari-
GUS pixies, and beyond these the yidettes.
They reported no enemy, Our troops
returned 10 camp and the excitement sub
sided. While all needful preparations
were made, twas not believed the enemy
would come, although il was reported by
scouts that Bragg had declared that he
would attack on the 10Th, if Rosecrans
did not anticipate him.
The excitement yesterday was super
induced by an order TO the chiefs Of the
various camps 10 remove military stores
within the Qualifications, the warehouse
being ready. Tho substantial truth IL,
that the exciting reports which have gone
home have originated from the specula-
tive opinions Of officers who are supposed
20 know what's doing, and who, loosely
v%enturing the opinion that there will soon
be a fight are supposed BY greedy news
men to be infallible oracles.

Rebel wit.

The Chattanooga Rebel tells the follow
ing "goke" on an army surgeon:
Surgeon was dressing a wound at the
battle Of Murfreesboro'. Soldier came
by on a Yankees back, actually riding
him 10 the rear.
"Doctor," cried the lucky Confederate,
from his novel perch, "if had them
spurs YOU went 20 bed In at Mobile, I'd
give this fellor hail Columby-get up
here, you whey -faced, Yankee son OF a
gun "-and he drove his heels into the
sides of his faded " animal" and pushed
on. amid the roars Of laughter from the
surgeon and his corps of assistants.
A few days ago we received a copy OF
the Hendersonville N. o. Times, which
contained a letter from its editor, who
holds some petty Office in the rebel army.
The letter begins as follows:
Dfor Times / forgot in my last to tell
you Of quite an amusing incident con-
nected with the hanging Of the tory
bushw hacker, to which l referred last
week. l believe l stated that two bush
whackers were captured, both Of whom
were very properly dealt with summari-
ly by being hanged. One of them had
received a shot in the shoulder, innicting
a painful wound, disabling him from
making bis escape. While the officer
was arranging the hempen necklace about
the wounded tory's neck. it produced
considerable pain in the wounded shout
der, which induced him to exclaim ooh!
do please don't I don't believe | can
bear to be hung! My shoulder is 50
sorel"
Reeollect that these two vulgar and
brutal incidents are told, not by Northern
men, but editors Of t0o rebeI newspapers.
Had they appeared on the authority of a
letter to some Northern newspaper, the
{" conservative " press would have remon-
slrated against the w~ickedness of fab
ricating stories so malicious and mis-
chievous, as tending to ~exasperAte the
misguided people Of the South. Every
copperhead organ from the New York
World, down TO the Louisville Democrat,
would have denounced the story as a
"bsse abolition lie" the coinage Of a
fanaticai brain" But here we find two
instances Of cowardly brutality which a
negro savage could not have surpassed,
recorded with delightb by two rebel news
papers, and statements which would
have been called e%xtravagant in one of
Mrs. STowE's novels, are given az matters
Of fact, On rebel authority. What has
so Jrutdlizea these re5elsg Is there not
something in their training which ex-
plains the whole matter? Letevery one
investigate for himself and see. And
are these the wretches whom we are
called on TO compromise with? Shall
We give up a gOodly portion of our
country's domain to these iends incar-
nate /? Never The territory is far
more valuable than such citizens.

Correspondents perpetraie some very
f%anciful letters occasionally to newspa-
pers at a distance. Take as an instance
the following letter from this city, dated
April 10th, to a Philadelphia newspaper +:
oREAT EXCITEMENT IN NASHVILLE.
For the past forty eight hours the in
habitants of Rock City have been in a
state Of constant and terrible excite.
ment@ Ga Saturday evening last %intelli-
gence was brought 10 that a Urge BODY
Of Rebel troops were within thirty miles
Of the city, on the banks of the Cumber-
land, and that they we're meditating an
attack upon this plac,. The report once
being put in circulation, Of course soon
became much exaggerated, and by noon
on Sunday the citizens generally believ-
ed themselves and their beloved city al
most within the power of the rebels
Rumors increased rapidly in number, and
grew more fearful in character.
Don't know anything about it, Don't
believe II. Think that If the city had
been "in a state Of constant aud terrible
excitement for forty. eight hours" we
would have heard about il.
P. s. The "rebs' get up little ex
eitenents occasionally, but they are not
citizens.
