THE SPRING WORK.

We take the following from the News
Summary Of the Chicago Tribune of the
11th:
Lieutenant General Grant is stripping the
Army Of the Potomac for fight. Evidently
a ,tutmens anything but byutum has fallen
among the suffers and camp followers, and
they are packing up their fancy wares and
travelling. Officers baggage is coming to
Washington by every train. There is some
work to be done which cannot be effected in
ruflled shirts and dog collars. Grant is
gradually getting them down to his travelling
cGuipage-the solitary tooth brush-and vii!
mix in some Of our Western boys to give
them the Nicksburg and Chattanooga fash
ions; and we warn the army of the Potomac,
when they start for Richmond, they have got
to travel fast or Illinois, Indiana and Iowa
will be in ahead of them.
Elsewhere also the busy note of prepare.
ton is heard. Missouri is ordered to be up
aud doing. Her veterans are wanted at Chat
tanooga. Rough and Ready Sherman sends
little note TO Wisconsin in which he hints
that three hundred men in time are better
than thousand behind hand. Everywhere
the veterans are ordered to the front at double
, quick. There is work ahead. It is no play
this time. Already the bugles are blowing
and the old flags once more unfolding and
Haunting in the faces Of the enemy, and ere
many days, forward all along the line will be
the word.

Accordingly The full band was called out
and preparations made to give them a full
benefit. Matters were proceeding swimming

sdcrably hurt and the balance badly scared
the boys" were about to retire, when the
man Of the house Ignorant Of their mishap)
came out and offered to treat with the apples
if they would desist, which he did to the
tune Of some Two dollars.
Speaking Of weddings reminds me that it

very poor remuneration and badly out Of

The Chicago Board Of Trade took impor-
tant action at a special meeting hast evening.
They resolved that on and after the 10th of
May, ensuing, all their transactions shall be
in Treasury notes or their equivalent. 1t is
understood that the banks and bankers OF
the city win ,indorse this action, and our
leading merchants generally are in favor of
this step. In the interior Of this and adioin-
ing States, all currency that is at discount
has for some time been rejected. The result
of the Board of Trades action will DO that
tho notes on oil banks, except such as are at
par, will be thrown out of circulation in the
West, "greenbacks' being the measure Of
currency values. - Chicago Journal.

OPINION OF AMERICANS ABROAD ON THE
PREslpENcY.-An American residing abroad
writes to friend in Washington:
"In Europe the Americans are almost
unanimous for Mr.. Lincoln for a second term
He has done so well-been so honest and
faithful-that it would not be expedient to
drop him now. 1t would, | think, have a
bad effect upon American securities, of which
so many millions are being sent here. 1t is
fault of our system that we change Office so
often; and when one has been in Europe he
cannot but see il in this light. The emanci
p;Nion proclamation disarmed oil opposition
in Europe. 1t was astonishing what nfiu-
ence ii had, and what friends it made for u.s."
