A HEAVY DRAFT ON THE COLUMBUS
BANKs.-An eccentric individual, supposed
to be slightly deranged, called at all the
banks in the city yesterday, and endeavored
to negotiate small loan. He produced a
bundleof nicely written documents prepar-
ed by himself, purporting to be claim
against the Government, upon which he
wished to borrow the sum of one million
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
for temporary use. He earnestly maintain
ed that the claim was perfectly good, and
he could not see why the solid men of the
capital should hesitate to invest IN his claim,
which was, he thought, ga sure thing"
Unfortunately, the banks were troubled
with an attack of the "shorts," and
they expressed themselves as feeling such
confidence in the ''claim" that they would
be delighted to accommodate him If within
their power. The heavy dealer concluded
that Columbus was one horse town and he
would favor some other place. ta

On Friday two more came in. They
were formerly United States guns, prob
ably obtained at the seizure of our

Sheridan was sending in large droves
of captured oxen, sheep &c. The de-

on so that the rebels Will no longer be
