a NorE FROM CAPTAIN KELroS oS-Undcr date
Sept. 9Th Capt Kelton sends us the following,
which explains itself:
EDITOR Journal AT a late meeting of the
Halleck Rifles committee appointed to no.
tify the Douglas City Rifles that they were about
taking steps with view Of holding an Encamp-
ment at or near Weavcrville. and asking this
Company to participate. AS Captain of the
Douglas City Rifles, thank the committee for
the kind invitation extended, and will state that
there is but one thing to prevent my Company
from participating and bearing its part in the
proposed Encampment, and that is the lack of
uniforms due from the State, and long since
promised, but which We have not yet received.
We are always ready to turn out at dead of
night and in gray shirts if our country calls, but
do not care to participate in an Encampment or
parade where the balance Of the companies would
be uniformed and mine would not. Consequent
y we can only be lookers-on at what we trust
will be complete success, and happy occasion
to all concerned. rendering our best wishes in
behalf of the important enterprise proposed, |
remain, your obedient servant,
E. A KELToN, Captain,
Com 'dg. Douglas City Rifles.
We had intended to have something to say in
regard to the matter, and to try and ascertain if
it could not be set right in time for the Encamp-
ment, but have learned from E. Neblett, ESQ,
that the uniforms for Capt. Kelton's Company
are probably on the way-he having been in
formed by Adjutant General Evans that they
would be shipped the presentweek. Gladit is So.

this matter, we give the following extract from a
letter written by soldier of Capt. Miller's COM

''There is more work for the wicked. The
Indians have made raid into Hiampom Valley
and carried off some blankets and other articles
of clothing. Nothing WAS taken which was so
marked that it could be identified, save double
barrelled shotgun. They left sacks of sugar
and other articles untouched. In one instance
they opened a cabin by the key, which hung over
the door, and re-locked it and put the key in its
proper place when they left. Nothing which
they left behind was burned or damaged in any
way. Do wild Indians thus No If ever we

LATE FROM -ORLEANs.-By the arrival of
the steamship Evening Star, from New-Orleans,
the n. y Times has advices to the 9th. There
was nothing of special Importance transpiring in
the Department Of the Gulf. Our forces in Texas
were making very encouraging progress, and meet
ing with very little resistance. Gen. Magruder,
commanding the rebel forces, had issued procla-
nation. calling out everybody for the defence of
the State, ayowing that the defence of Western
Texas "would not be given up, as reported" that
San Antonio and Austin must be forfeited, and
that the invaders should be driven back to their
ships" The Free State Convention in New-Or-
leans had concluded its labors and appointed a
full delegation to the National Convention at
Louisville. The full delegations from the colored
societies were admitted. There was no news in
the city. General gayety prevailed through the
holidays, and social reunions were numerous and
largely attended.
On Wednesday last there arrived at Annapolis
about 500 paroled Union prisoners, list of whose
names we publish this morning. Our correspon-
dent says that the present lot are in very good
health and condition. having received supplies of
clothing through the Sanitary Commission. The
rebels are now holding back the sick and feeble,
in order to conceal the effects of their treatment
There is no further evidence that the rebels in
tend any serious demonstration in the vicinity of
Winchester, as has been lately feared The wea-
ther there has been exceedingly cold, with sleigh
ing.

THE APPROACHING EVACUATION OF RICH,

The APPROACHING EVACUATION OF RICHMOND.
Our readers will remember that, from the be-
ginning Of the rebellion, we have always main
tanned that to capture East Tennessee was the true
way to produce the evacuation of Richmond, and,
indeed, of all Virginia, by the rebels. We have
urged, therefore, that the great concentration of
our forces should take place upon the centre the
long continental line Of battle; that no real often
sive movements should be attempted in Eastern
Virginia; that the "On to Richmond" cry was all
wrong; and that we ought to have kept in Virginia
only enough men to defend the capital and the
line of the Potomac.
The course of the war has confirmed this judg-
ment; and we are scarcely in possession of Chat
tanooga or Knoxville, before a report from Rich
mond goes out that the chief arsenal and depot of
the rebels is transferred from that place to Colum
bia, in South Carolina. Important removals of
machinery and the heavier supplies have been
made, and the capital of Virginia is no longer the
great central arsenal of the rebels. We think
there be little doubt of the truth of this rumor
The failure of Longstreet to capture Knoxville,
and the result of Grants battle of Chattanooga,
decided the question of the possession of East
Tennessee. Until after those events this question
The new South. [volume] (Port Royal, S.C.) 1862-1867, 1864-01-16

was still open when Longstreet raised the siege
and marched hurriedly away towards Virginia the
most important blow delivered In the war had
taken effect. At Washington the Importance of
the results was so well appreciated that the Presi-
dent, his heart filed with gratitude to God for so
great victory, immediately-on the 1th OF Dec.
called upon the people to join him in praise to
the Great Disposer of events. He wrote:
Trustworthy information being received that the insur
gent rereatng from East Tennessee under crcum
rendering probable that the Union forces cannot
hereafter be dislodged that important position and
eeing this be high national consequence, recommend
that all loyal people do on receipt Of this normson as
sembe at their places Of worship and render special ho
mept Of the national cause"
The possession of East Tennessee settles the fate
of Virginia No doubt the rebel chiefs will remain
at Richmond as long as they dare, but they dare
not risk their most essential and indispensable
machinery there they dare not leave their great
depots in place from which they may be COM
PEELED to fly at any moment. A glance at the map
will show that Richmond is now bound to the
South only by single narrow line Of communica-
tion which can be reached at any time by DASH
ing cavalry troop in North Carolina a line which
is too long to be defended, and which must be
abandoned whenever it is threatened. Such line
cannot be maintained against an active general;
and the first demonstration made, with q strong
and determined force, against Petersburg or Wei
don, will carry panic to Richmond and probably
interrupt the work of removal.
As soon as General Butler has a sufficient force
land we know he is increasing it day by day. we
trust he will do more than harass and threaten the
rebels, by organizing effective movements upon
the North Carolina railroads. which are within his
reach. An expedition through North Carolina like
that of Grierson through Mississippi would annoy
and embarrass the rebels greatly. At the same
time it is important that our army in North Caro-
lima shall be kept well in hand and prepared fora
surprise Lee is not incapable of falling suddenly
upon our forces there, and furnishing severely the
compelled to vacate Virginia soon, he is likely to
turn his attention to the weaker posts along the
coasts.

personifed by three figures representing Europe
Asia and Africa In the foliage overhead is the
figure five, handsomely ornamented.
The border of the face is composed of the
word FIVE; scroll work, consisting of grape leaves
and the figure five alternating in panels. The
novel peculiarly of the border is that no two
words, figures or scrolls are exactly alike, having
been varied purposely, SO that the counterfeiter
may not be able to initiate the note by repeating
small portions, as Subsequently noticed in spurious
money. In order to initiate these notes the cour.
terfeiter will find it necessary to engrave the
whole with the minutest nicely.

TIE NATIONAL BANK CURRENcY-DRsoRpT1oN
OF THE NEW FIVE DOLLAR NoTEs.-The Cont
mental Bank Note Company, of New York, have
just completed alarge batch of notes for the new
national banks provided for in the act of Congress
approved on the 25th day of February last.
About one hundred and fifty-seven banks have
already been organized under the act-some of
them in places where there were never banks in
existence before. This is q popularity which
grows out of the novelty of the system, the old
banking institutions being slow to yield to the
innovation. The theory upon which the national
banks are formed consists mainly in the substi-
tuition Of government faith for State securities.
In other words one-third of their capital consists
Of United States bonds deposited with the Treas
urer at Washington The notes are supplied by
the government ITSELF being prepared by contract
by the most skilful bank note associations in the
country.
The Continental Bank Note Company was
awarded the contract for the five dollar notes,
which is the lowest denomination of the new
currency.
The batch prepared are for the First National
Bank of Washington, D. c. AS the introduction
of these new bills may be said to open new era
in the history of our national currency, short
description of the national bank notes will not be
inappropriate in this connection. 1t may be
stated at the start, by the way, that the plates,
designs and appearance Of all these notes will be
the same for all the States with the single and
necessary exception Of the local names and
numbers.
The face of the notes may be briefly described
as follows
At the left hand corner of the face is vignette
representing Columbus sighting land He is
standing on ship-board, and in the act of pointing
out the shore of Guiana Hani, while afgure, kneel-
ing, is seen pointing in the same direction, and
looking into the face of the great discoverer In
the immediate foreground is another figure with
cross in clasped hands, and the face turned
heavenwards, in thanksgiving to the Almighty.
The background is occupied by priest and other
figures, while on the sail above the word "fve"
is engraved in highly ornamental letters. This
design it will be noticed, is historical and this is
in compliance with the wish of President Lincoln,
who limited his desire on the subject in his
letter inviting proposals
The vignette on the left hand side of the face
contains an allegorical representation, which is
also another idea of Mr.. Lincoln's. 1t consists
of picture Of Columbus presenting America, in !
