CURRENCY MATTERS IN CHIC.

CURRENCY MATTERS IN CmCAGo.-The Chi
cago Journal says: "The banks and bankers
OF this city have determined to do strictly
Legal Tender Note basis, and have thrown
out as current funds all the issues of Illinois
banks, whether redeemed in Chicago or not,
and the notes of the State Bank of Iowa, and
of the Bank of the State of INDIANA, which
have since Monday last, been counted in as
current funds. This has been done because
it was found on trial not to work satisfactorily
and that nothing but Greenbacks and National
Bank notes will circulate outside Chicago"

NoBLY DONE ron OHIo.-A dispatch from
Gov. BRoUGH to the Secretary of War on the
18th inst. says that Ohio has sent regiments
as follows: Four to Baltimore, Md, two TO
Cumberland, thirteen to Washington, and
the fourteenth would leave that night; three
to Parkersbnrg, four to Charleston, three to
New Greek, three to Harper's Ferry. She
has also stationed one at Gallipolis, two
at Camp Dennison, two at Camp Chase, two
regiments and a battalion of seven companies
at Johnson's Island; being forty regiments
and one battalion, comprising an aggregate
of thirty-four thousand men. This work
all done in the short space of sixteen days.
So much for having patriotic Governor.
How different would have been the response
of Ohio if Vallandigham had occupied the
Gubernatorial chair.
Including the hundred day men, Ohio has
now one hundred and ninety regiments in the
field ready to do battle for the Union.

- We begin to fear. from certain givipgs
ont recently. that the clique of Copperheads
about Plymouth. who rule the party in the

chance for the nomination for Congress to-
day. by the Convention. is rather SLIM

Cool for Hot Weather,

A bell;gerent delegate from Allen coun-
ty, in the Convention Of Tuesday,
pronounced himself in favor of "a free
election or free fight" this fall. We
have heard the devil accused of singing
psalms. but that falls far short of the
sublimisy of impudence which must
possess Copperhead Of Allen county to
talk about free elections. In that political
Sodom Union man is not allowed to sit
on an Election Board. nor even to act as
a clerk Of an election. Of course cheating
and scoundrelism are the only motives for
such conduct, and the enormous majorities
reported from that county when they are
supposed to be needed. show what is
meant by free election in that paradise
of Democratic" Neutrality-suspicious.

The expedition which left Memphis
under Gen. A. j. Smith about three weeks
ago. has been heard from through rebel
sources. as being near Pontotoc. Mis-
sissippi. 1t. Gen. Lee attacked Gen.
Smith at Tallabinela, and sends word to
Richmond that after three hours fg hting,
he was repulsed. General Smith has
more than twenty thousand men, and is
well supplied with cavalry and artillery.
About q week ago General Rousseau
marched south from Decatur, Alabama,
with large force, and no doubt these two
armies will form junction in the heart Of
Alabama-perhaps at Montgomery.
There are no rebel forces in that direction
which will be able to stop their onward
march. and once to Montgomery, the way
is clear to Mobile. johnson is too busy
trying to take care of Atlanta to detach
any of bis force for operations against
Smith and Rousseau, and the probabilities
are whatever plan they have conceived
will be executed without much trouble.

or has already done so, through Pound

of the State, driving away all their cattle
and horses. taking with them all their
portable property. AS Buckner has not
been heard from for some weeks. and is
not known to be in front Of either Sher.

pearance Of FEASIBILITY.

news of a battle, but something better
General Sherman announces that on yes.
terday. having previously crossed the Chat
tahoochee. his whole army advanced five
miles south of the river and crossed Reach
tree creek. The advance was made with
out any resistance from Johnston's forces,
except slight diminishing with his rear as
he retired. This move necessarily forces
Johnston into the defenses Of Atlanta. and
places the city within range of Sherman's
guns.

European advices are from Queenstown
to the Sd inst. The allies have captured
Alsen, but no further fighting has taken
place between the German and Danish
fleets. The allies no longer consider them
selves bound by the concessions made by
them at the Conference. Austria will
henceforth fulfil her duty as a German
power, without regard to her own special
interests. Semmcs is not in Paris, but it is
said that he has sent for most of his Off
GERS to give them instructions for the ar
mament of new Alabama, Of which he
proposes shortly to take the command.
The France, which seems to have received
special information about this new ship,
says that she is small, beautifully form.

ded with powerful artillery Semmes has
ordered three pivot guns capable Of throw
ing hollow projectiles Of 10, and solid
projectiles Of 900 English pounds. Her
crew will consist of 172 men. The France
says, it does not know in what port the
new ship will be armed, but it believes
that no surveillance can prevent it from
putting to sea.

The greatest discovery Of the age is the
new soap Just come out, and known as the
j. Monroe Taylor Gold Medal Soap; it
not only saves time in washing. but does
the work in a much superior manner to
all other soaps before the people. The
makers claim it is manufactured on an
entirely different principle, and that it is a
great labor.saving article. besides going
much further than any other soap. Our
experience confirms all the Inventor
claims for it. Try it AMI we think all
will be convinced Of the fact, snd will
ever have the Gold Medal or none.
