FUNDING.

The amounts of money that have been
funded under the late act is extremely large,
where Depositories are established, though
we have none here, as yet, but one will be
opened on Monday next There seems tc
be difference of opinion'among the "know.
ing ones" some contending that the neces.
sites of change, will bring about a premi.
um on the tens, tWenties and probably ff.
ties, equal to their apparent depreciation:
However this may be, aoe would advise q
general funding, as the opportunity offers,
in order that the plan of Government to i'm
prove our currency may be carried out, in
its true meaning; though any attempt to
put down speculation seems to be an impos-
sibilitJ. There are. men who will make
money, if it can be done, under any circum-
stances-patriotism is "all in my eye"- with
them-and there is no friendship, no chari-
ty, even the ties of close kindred is over
looked in their rapacity; like Oliver Twist,
they still cry for "more," and more they
will have. We would like to say that such
were small class of our people-but, we
can't do it.

5TH REG. s. c. CAVALRY,
CAMp BADGER, N. G. Feb. "a,


lMessrs. Editors: Perhaps it will be Of
some interest to many persons in York Dis,
triet, to hear something of the expedition
lately planned, and admirably carried out,
against Sheperdsville, in which some of the
boys of the District were engaged.
1t was intended that Generals Picket and
Barton should attack Newbern, and that
General Martin at the same time, should
proceed against Shepherdsville, which was
strongly fortified post of the enemy, a.
bout thirty miles below Newbern, and d.
rectly on the Railroad leading from New
bern to Morehead City and Beaufort. The
object in capturing this point, was 10 cut
the Railroad, thereby interrupt the enemy's
communications, and prevent reinforcements
being sent from Beaufort and Morehead to
Newbern.
Company K, of the 5th Regiment s. G.
Cavalry was ordered to join General Mar
tin in the expedition and to report to him
on the way to Sheperdsville to reach this
place required a march of about one hun
dred and fifty miles to be made from our
camp. -..
On Sunday night the 31st Of January,
thelittle army under General Martin, num-
bering in all fraction over two thousand,
composed of Infantry, Artillery and CaVal.
ry, the latter embracing our company and
parcels of three other Cavalry companies of
North Carolina and Georgia, and having
together about one hundred and twenty eff.
fectiye mounted men, assembled at Smiths
Mills,son the White Oak River, where
temporary bridge was speedily constructed.
Early the next morning crossing was eff:
fected; up to this time when we had gone
a mile from the river, our destination was
known only'to the field officers, most of us
supposed that We were soon to revel in the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1864-03-09
ADDRESS OF CONGRESS.

Our first page to-day is almost entirely
taken up with this able and timely State
paper, which will amply repay careful Pc
rusal. It is said to have been written by
the Hon. Mr.. Curry, of Alabama; be the
writer who he may, the facts laid down, and
the manner of composition, alike make it
an able paper, .one that will be read with
interest, and we trust, profit, afar off and
is we'll worthy of preservation.
We have also an excellent article on the
operation of the currency act, from the
Richmond Whig, well calculated to explain
its workings to the commonest understand
ing. These have somewhat excluded our
usual variety, but the excuse we feel as.
sured is good one. s,.#

FIRES.

- The depot of the Kings Mountain Rail
Road, at Chester, was consumed by fire on
Wednesday morning last, about 10 o'clock,
and Is bales Of cotton, belonging to Jasper
Stowe, of North Carolina, all it contained,
was burnt: The building has seldom been
in use, and was securely locked up at the
time; the origin of the fire is unknown.
A dwelling and outhouse.of Dock Whit.
aker, near this place, was burned down on
Saturday last, and the entire contents con-
sumed. He is poor young man, and the
loss falls on him with the greater severity, at
this time, when food cannot be obtained for
love or money.

GENERAL FINEGAN.-General Finegan,
the hero of Lake City, is an Irishman by
birth. In. early life he enlisted as private
in the United States regular army. After
his discharge he removed to Florida, where
he became employed, We are informed, as
an engineer. By intelligence and good
conduct he prosperedin in his affairs, married
eligibly, and became leading Citizen
Since the breaking out ofthe war he has ris-
en- in the Confederate service, to the rank
of Brigadier General; and he has just won
victory which makes him famous at bone
and honored throughout the Confederacy.
In him we have another reminder of the
gratitude. (which we. owe to our soldiers of
foreign birth, and of the kindness which
We should manifest to them.

that Suffolk has been occupied by Confed.

PROMOTIONS I'm THE ARMY.

A bill, introduced by Mr.. Miles, of this
State, on the subject of promotions in the
army, and which passed both Houses of
Congress, is likely to give lively satisfaction
to our soldiers, as it does them justice
which has long been denied them. 1t en-
titles every soldier, distinguished for gallant
and merritorious conduct, to promotion
whenever there is vacancy in his regiment.
Heretofore, these promotions have not been
made except in the comparatively rare in
stances of vacancies in the companies; but
the bill referred to enlarges the field, and
enables the meritorious soldier to profit by
all contingencies of vacancies in his regi-
ment.

A HEAVY ROBBERY ON THE BORDER.
Lewis Hymau, formerly a successful jewel
ler on Main street, between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets, but who sold out his
property recently with the intention of lea
wing the country, fell among thieves, few
days since, while making his exit, with the
permission Of the Government, from the
Confederacy By the Valley route, accom-
panied BY bis family and several other per-
sons. The robbers stripped Mr.. Hyman of
every dollar he possessed, consisting of a.
bout twenty thousand dollars in gold coin,
greenbacks and jewelry, the latter the most
valuable part of the stock in trade of his
business, and the former the proceeds of
the sale of his property in Richmond.
