Srrvs Pui.Lrp-- We have repeatedly drawn
attention 10 The new abuse 10 the management
Of the omnibus lines the issue of tickets in
making change-whioA has been aggravated by
the insolence with which the drivers force this
worthless currency upon passengers Not only
are people com PEELED TO receive these tickets
in return for the national currency, although
in many csses they are Of no possible value 10
the recipient, but they bave to submit TO all
kinds Of abuse II they demonstrate upon the
injustice Of the system. or the fraud--for IL de-
serves other name We are glad to learn,
10 some purpose upon one Of these insolent
drivers A gentleman, who was insulted In the
usual fashion yesterday in one Of the Broadway
stages, reported the fact at once 20 the United
States authorities Upon the return OF the
stage the driver vas arrested; . charge Of
uttering base currency was preferred against
him, and he was held to bail 10 $500 to answer
for the same. There Ia no necessity Of resorting
to the issue Of this class OF tickets Fractional
currency Of the government, two cent and one
cent pieces for making change are abundant.
Therefore it Ia o swIndle for the omnibus pro-
prietors or the railroad aud ferry companies, to
issue them, and II IL time that the public should
protest against the abuse. However, tho arrest
of driver will not remedy the evil, unless
measures ore carried out 70 vlsi. punishment
upon the offenders. A shoFt time ago . rail
road conductor was held to ball on q similar
charge, and We have heard nothing Of the case
since. We hope the proper authorities will not
let the matter drop.

This county, from Its proximity to Memphis
has has far been looked upon as rather neu.

stated, It has been visited by both parties. A
gentleman from DsSOiO, who has spent soma

changes brought about since the commencement

waste by both parties, 70 the extent of destroy
iag fences, etc, very generally. The dwellings
throughout ths county have suffered but litt.e

desOlsled. No crops worth mentioning are being
cultivated. The negro population Is nearly all
gone. The supply of NEST in the country is
good, but in consequence Of The mHrauding
course pursued by cavalry parties, there is but
Little corn lsft. The deficiency is supplied from
she grsnaries Of the Mississippi prsiries. This
is bought at very low figures, and were If not

convenience would be felt in consequence Of the

A considerable amount of contrsbaDd trade
is carried on with the Yankes traders at Mem
Phis, and BY the profits arising from this buzi-
ness, many who would otherwise be in strait
oned circumstances, are not only enabled to
make living, but also, in some instances,
enormous gains. Before FORESTS last raid

Little or no hindrance effered 70 visiting Mem

lines have been very strictly drawn

On the 18sh instant private Joel Burgess, Of
the 9TH Kansas eAvslTy, reached Little Rcck,
having escaped fom Shreveport, La, where he
had been held by the rebels as a prisoner Of
war. Mr.. Burgsss is q middle aged man, of TO-
bust stature, and evidently man of cAndor
sud intslhgenee. From his statement we gather
the following facts:
Mr. Burgess WEs captured the I9sh January
last, with eight other Federal soldiers, fifteen
miles from Pine Bluff by about seventy of
Shelby's men, who were mostly dressed IN
Federal uniform. This was at the time of the
second raid upon Pine Bluff The prisoners
were Immediately taken to Shelby's hcaduusrt-
ers, on Saline nver, near Mount Elba, whore
they arrived and found two other prisoners

horses, money, ovsEcosis aud boots and, in
some instances, they robbsd his comrades Of

they confessed that that was what they were

to Warren, where they remained four days.
| Marmaduke's headquarters were then at War
ren. From thence they marched to Camden,
where thsy remained three days. From Cam.
den to Shreveport they were six days. Ths
weather was cold much Of the times, and Is the
prisoners were, most Of them, compelled to
march bATefooted, they suffered severely. Phi

his feet hostbitteE, and at the end Of the march
his feet were 90 swollen they hardly ressmblsd
human feet. The prisoners hsd to lay ous Of

consequently were much exposed and suffered

Mr.. Burgess thinks the rebel force there was

From these two statements, says the SssitEet
it appears that $I77, 023 900 50 of the non in

csncslled. This amount includes only such
notes as have bssa regularly cancelled and do.

We imvs heard the amount thus hsld ss pres
ent, apart from the four per cant funding, esti-
mated at ten millions.
Thers is but little doubt that ths funding,
east and west Of the Mississippi, will amount to
three hundred millions. The total Issue ont.
standing March 3lst is thereby reduced to
$4s5 600 900. OF this, considerable portion,
probably hundred millions, is in hundred dol.

NORTH CAROLINA If It should fortunately
happen that New bern fall into our possession,
and there seems reason to anticipAtsits speedy
capture, the Whig is of opinion the whole of North
Carolina will return to Confederate dominion. By
means Of their naval supremacy aud their posts
at HewbeTn, Plymouth, Washington and other
plac es, the enemy have been enabled for the
last two years to dominate PAmlieo and Albe-
marie sounds and the circumjacent counties.
Thus they have held = country not of great area,
but Of much Importance from its exceeding fer
tility and the abundance of food supplies annu-
ally produced by it. Its recovery will prove ne
less = solid increase of our resources than q
brilliant triumph of our arms, and will, 1t is to
he hoped, constitute the opening OF a series of
