We are indebted to Col. Lewis Till
man, and Edmund FiersoB, of Shelby
vile, for late flss Of the Memphis-GTe-
nsda- Jackson Atlanta Appeal, from
which we take the following
YANKEE FIEAEeIEs.
While gold continues to 60 up st the
North. we have other encouraging as
surances Of the decline Of Federal scrip.
All the gold at Memphis and Nashville
has been seized within the past sixty
dsvs and sent EoFthWsrd, the holders
receiving s'greenbacks" in return, and
| al trade in coin being forbidden. Il is
not improbable that all the coin IN the
banks North viii be seized under like
plea, in the hands Of EecE0maDcer Chase.
The establishment Of national banks
meets with great disfavOF, the people see
| ing that the drift is 60 bankrupt the
country, and place al the substantial
means in the hands of the Lincoln Ad-
ministration. On this subject, the Chi
csgo Times quotes from New York pa
per:
The war between the State and ma
tionaI banks is gradually riponirg. The
American Exchange bank, of this city,
has opened the ball, and instructed its
tellers TO refuse the circulation eff tie
bank of Washington, which have mad
their appearance in small amounts.
One Of the grand designs of the ma
tionaI bank system, says the Times, is to
grasp il the hsnds of the Federal Gov
eminent the whole monetary power Of
the country, as it was formerly held by
the United States bank system. It is
essential to the success OF tbs system
/ that.the State banks understand that the
crushing process is 10 be attempted upon
them; hence the action of the American
Exchange bank in New York. We shall
see directly that resistance to this pro-
cess BY the State banks will be pro-
nounced "dislovally." Indeed, an en-
issary of the Treasury Department, on
; recent public occasion in New York,
did pronounce such resistance "dislOy-
atty" Nevertheless, the State banks
will resist, and, if they be properly sup
ported By the people, will triumph; snd
the triumph will be 3 triumph Of State
rights over Federal centrslism and usur-
patton.
UNITED STATES FINANCES.
We publish to-day 3 very interesting
article from the New York News, show
inc the condition of the Federal fnan-
ees snd the ruin which has been wrought
by the Black Republicans in their insane
ambition to get possession Of the Gov
ernment. Chase has dug 3 financial
sbyss beneath the feet Of his people, into
which they sre soon TO fall. The tenn
porary expsdients, BY which he has de-
layed the final catastrophe, will but
make it the more terrible. The seeming
prosperity in which bis people rejoice, is
fictitious and delusive The nation is
feeding upon itself-is holding wild car
nival With its wealth and resources.
The day of doom is coming and is nearly
at hand. Excessive importations are
hurrying on the final crash. Let US be
firm, and patient, and brave Through
the operation of various cOneErTing
causes, our deliverance draws nigh!
From these extracts the cOpperhead
papers can see that they are accomplish
ing their purposeg--cOmforting the rebels.
TIE ARMY RE EELIsTNG.
The action of so many bfigades, regi-
ments snd companies, re- enlisting in the
Confederate service for the war, leaves
hardly room for a doubt that this will
be the general course of the great armies
in Virginia, Tennessee and Northern
Georgia The cid spirit of 1856 seems
to be re-awakened, under the circum-
stances that ennble it TO the highest
standard of patriotism and heToism
Unquestionably, says%he Columbus En-
quirer, the men who are thus de-
claring their resolution 10 remain
in the service of their country,
perform sll the arduoue duties, endsPe
sll the priyations and suffer all the in
convenieRces Of the service, srdsntly de-
sire 20 return TO their families, their
friends and their business. But they
exhibit the noble spectacle Of patriotism
rising superior to self, and fortitUds over
coming every i'll and hardship. Heroic |
and noble men they grandly illustrate
the race from which they sprsng and the
age in which they live. Heneeforwsrd the
world need not turn TO the republics of
ancient times for examples Of the high
est types of patriotism and manhood,
They live and act their parts in our
present struggle, and their name and
fame will constitute q portion Of the
brightest history of the earth.
If the North fails to see In this move
ment the spirit of people uncorqaered
and uncomfortable, it must be in that
stage of msdness which closely precsdes
destruction. a people, whose young
men are animated BY such q spirit, sad
whose patriotism and endurance cheer
fully braves and bids defiance to the
dangers and seventies Of such conflict
ss that which we are undergoing, can no
more be subdued than can the irrepres-
sibie waves Of the ocean, which may
have their ebb tide and flow, but which
never fail to surmOunt every barrier with
in their resistless sweep.
THE NECESSITY OF SUCCESS.
We, the people of the Confsdersey, can
not afford to fail in the great struggle
IN which we are now engaged. Il is
not 3 struggle merely for separate ma
tional and State Independence, but It is
a struggle for the maintenance and per-
petualion of everything q high minded
man holds dear on earth. Il is q stFug-
gle for both our personal and property
rights, for our status and position 10 So
ciety, for home We call our own, for .
country and name.
Ofall these we will be robbed and plum /
dered in the event the enemy triumphs |
ever Us and converts our country into,
and holds it as conquered territory.
