The Truth.

The bay Quinte Conference of the NJ
+. Church, in Canada, recently said some
very true things in reference to Rebels
and the Rebellion in the U. S., as follows,
after setting forth various reasons for
such an opinion:
l. They are rebels, having unconstitu.
tionally taken up arms against their Gov
ernment.
2. They are traitors, having employed
the influence, prosperity and strength
which they derived or stole from their
nation, in an attempt to overthrow its
constitutional Government.
3. They are murderers, being the d.
rect and willful authors, and cause Of all
the death and slaughter of the present
war.
The Pastoral Address of the Bishops,
of the M. r. Church contains the follow.
ing patriotic passage:
"The war is not yet over. We can
have no adequate idea of the wrongs vet
to be endured, of the precious lives yet to
be sacrificed before the nations new life
shall be placed beyond the reach of the
bloody hands which seek to distroy it;
but we state to you, calmly and solemnly,
that, in our judgment, all true patriots
ought to regard their lives and treasures,
without reservation, as subject to the ex-
igencies of this conflict until it is honor
ably and triumphantly ended"

Death of Hon. a. Fl. Reeder.

Yesterday morning as the Journal was
about being printed, the death of the a
bove distinguished citizen was announced
He died of dropsy of the heart after Sc
sere illness, in the fifty-cighth year Of his
age. Perhaps no other citizen of this
place was so well or more widely known
than the deceased, who for more than a
quarter of a century was prominent pol
itician, and as a lawyer had raised him
self to the head Of the bar in this district
aud ranked high in the Supreme Courts.
He represented this district in the late
Union Convention at Baltimore, and gave
his influence in support of the nomina-
tieRs Of the Convention. Having had a
large practice at the bar, and being Que of
our most prominent citizens, his death
will be great loss, not only to his fami-
ly, but to this community.-Easton Jour
nal, July 6.

The New Currency.

The new currency bill whlch recently
passed Congress has been approved by
the President and is now law. Ihe
principal provisions of the act are the
same as the former bill, which vas passed
on the 25th of February, 1868 but there
are some important alterations and amend
ments to the new law with which the pub
lie should become familiar, as the new
banks are destined to produce radical
change in the banking system of the coun-
try.
In future, no association can be formed
under the law in places containing more
than six thousand inhabitants, with a
capital of less than one hundred thousand
dollars, nor in city whose population ex-
ceeds fifty thousand, with less than two
hundred thousand dollars capital but
banks may be organized in places having
less than six thousand persons with fifty
thousand dollars, as heretofore permit
ted. One-third at least of the capital
stock of each institution must be de-
posted with the Treasury of the Uni
ted States in Government registered bonds
of the fve-twenty or ten-forty loans, or
any such bonds which may be used by
the United States subsequent to the pas
sage of the act; and upon the delivery of
such securities as are thus required the
Comptroller of the Currency is authorized
to allow to the association making the
same ninety per cent. of circulating notes,
provided the aggregate circulation of all
the banks organized does not exceed three
hundred millions of dollars.
The denominations of the notes are to
be ones, twos, threes, fyes, tens, twenties,
ffties, one hundreds, and one thousands
but not more than one-siYth part of the
notes furnished to any association will be
of less denomination than five dollars
aud after the resumption of specie pay
ments, no notes of denomination under
that amount will be allowed The banks
in the cities of New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, st. Louis, Louisville, Chicago
Detroit, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Cincin
natl, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Al
bany, Leyenworth, Washington, and San
Francisco, and Richmond and Charleston
after they shall have been taught to recog
nize and respect the laws of the Union
must redeem their bills at par in the city
of New York and the issues of banks To-
Gated in other places must be redeemed
at par in at least one of the cities above
named.
In lieu of all existing taxes each asso-
citation is required to pay one per cent
annually on its circulation, half per cent
annually on the average amount of its de
posits, and half per cent on its capital a.
bove the amount which it has deposited
with the United States Treasurer as ba
sis for its circulation. When the system
is completed, this tax will probably yield
to the Government the following yearly
sum:
Circulation, s30O,OOO,OOO1

danger awaits them,

Shun delays; danger awaits them,
fla task is to be done,
Do not the day pass idly,
Waiting for the setting sun.
If you're young in years, remember
Youth is the most fitting time
To acquire the wisdom needful
For the comfort of your prime.
IF to do an act of kindness
Chance should point for you the way;
Seize at once the golden moment,
Remorse may follow delay.
If you love a pretty maiden,
Don't delay your case to statei
Lest another step before you,
And your left to rail at fate.
Should she listen to your story
With kindly look and smile;
Don't delay to order garments
Suited for bridegroom of Pyle,
Just drop in Pyle's Store, Easton, where
you will see the largest and finest assort.

VALUE OF WILSON'S SUCCESS.

BY the destruction of so large portion
of the railroad communication between
Richmond and North Carolina the opera
tons of the rebel management must be in
extricably embarrassed Food, ammuni-
ton, supplies, British munitions of war
landed by blockade runners, all must be
held back at moment when the need of
them is most imperative to the enemy
Even were the railroad to be reconstruc-
ted, the rolling stock captured (and prob
ably destroyed) by General Wilson must
be an irreparable loss. The material used
on the Petersburg and Danville road will
not avail for any other in or near Peters
burg, the gauge of the latter railroad be-
ing wider than are the Others
BY about this time, 1.-The Southern con-
spiracy of man .stealers and freedom slay
ers must realize that rolling-stock on rail
roads is security" liable to severe fuc-
tuations, when the Yankees choose to bull
or bear the market; nor are the railroads
themselves, it would appear, any more sta
tionary, for they were and are not, like
last years flowers.
Thus Lee-like a willy and venerable
spider brought to bay-sees, one by one,
the gray lines of his web cut, and awaits
the moment When, b57 Il The sseve7ing Of his
supports, the unsubstantial fabric of the
predatory den centred at Richmond will
collapse and fall to dust! B.

New York, July "a special despatch
to the Tribune, dated Charlestown, West
Virginia, July lst, says General Hunter,
with the whole of his command has ar
rived safely at that point without the loss
of a pound of Government property
During his march of 500 miles he defeat
ed the enemy in five different engage
ments, and destroyed property worth s5,-
100000 of our money. All the railroads
and canals on his route were totally de-
stroyed. Our loss in the expedition did
not exceed 1000, and that of the enemy,
including prisoners, must be at least s.
600. The army is in excellent spirits,
and will soon be heard from where least
expected.

ly exaggerated. The New York papers
state "upon the best official authority"
that the number of the killed, from the
time the army crossed the Rapid Ann un-
til it reached the James river, did not ex-
ceed four thousand men. The wounded
numbered something over forty thousand,
and including casualties of every descrp-
ton less than fifty thousand; while the
deaths of these wounded men are so far
not much in excess of two thousand, or
from four to five per cent. The injuries
OF the wounded men in the majority of
cases are very slight. The permanent
loss to our army for the time mentioned,
may be twelve to fifteen thousand men,
but not in any case more than twenty
thousand, and the loss of life is much
less.
