little excitement growing out of the arraupemer,
entered into before Judge Pearson at Salisbury to
take one case to the next Term of the SuprsmoO

such an agreement was made by Gov. Bragg. =,
counsel for Government, and that the GovernmeD,
has violated it, and is going on to enroll the men
and send them to camp. The latter, we believe
is true; but that there was any positive arrange.
ment, as stated, is not true. The Government has
not violated any agreement of its own or Que made
by Gov. Bragg. We are authorized by that gen.
tleman to say, that when an arrangement was pro.
posed, as above stated, he said distinctly to the
Judge on the bench, and in the hearing of all the

The New National Bank Issue.

We have seen S. bill of the new Ma
tional Bank currency, on Il bank in Fort
Wayne, Indiana. In engravings and picto-
rials it may be considered handsome, save
that there is too much of the pictures. We
should judge, however, that it will be eX-
tremely difficult to counterfeit. On the
back of the bill we find this statement: ''This
note is receivable at par in all parts of the
United States in payment of all taxes and
eXcises, and all other duties to the United
States, except duties on imports, and also
for all salaries and other debts and demands
owing by the United States to individuals,
corporations and associations within the
United States, except interest on public
debt"
1t will be observed that this currency does
not pay the debt of one man to another, or
pass current among the community, except
as Il matter of confidence. There is no re-
quirement compelling individuals to re-
ceive them as money currency, therefore,
rs it stands at present, is much inferior in
value to the legal-tender greenbacks which
individuals are obliged to take for their
debts as well as the Government. On the
greenbacks are these words, "This note is a
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, except duties on importations and in
terest on the public debt, and is receivable
in payment of all loans made to the United
States"
IThe new currency is precisely like the
issues of all State and private banks, so far
as not being legal tenders for individual
debts.-Cin. Enquirer.

Majesty of Law.

Frederick the Great a century ago, wish
ed to enlarge his possessions and his palace.
A certain mill obscured the view, and he
offered the Prussian fair price for it. He
refused to sell, because it was paternal
estate. Frederick then ordered the mill torn
down, which was done. The miller stood
calmly by, saying that he would abide by
the law. He must obey his sovereign, but
the law did not compel him to sell his mill
He appealed to the courts, and the courts
decided that Frederick should rebuild the
mill. This he cheerfully did, thanking Goo
that he had court not influenced by i'm
perial favor. Twenty years ago the present
owner of the mill became involved, ant
offered to sell it to Frederick William, th'
successor of Frederick the Great. Th'
sovereign refused to buy, but freely CAV,
him $4,000, saying that the mill must stan'
as monument of the triumph Of law, AM
Prussia stands to-day as a constant monu
ment of the majesty Of law. 1t is not be
meath the dignity even of an Emperor t

! The american Railroad Journal sums up
the, actual mileage of railroads completed
in the United States on the 1st of January,
1864, at 33,860 miles, with about 10000 miles
additional that are, or have been, under
construction. The increase of completed
road during the past year has been 1880
miles. OF the completed roads A,927 miles
are in the loyal States, and 1888 miles in the
States now in rebellion. The condition of the
latter is so bad thatmany of them, on the re-
turn of the States to loyalty, could be more
properly classed among the roads ''under
construction" The total cost of the COM
pleted roads and their equipment in the
United States, is one thousand t,oo hundred
and Sirty-sic million dollars-quite respect
able sum of money to be invested in one
branch Of business.
Taking the grand total of roads complet-
ed and under construction in the several
States, Ohio stands pre-eminent as the Rail-
road State, but falls behind Pennsylvania in
the number of miles completed. The fol-
lowing are the railroad statistics of the five
great railroad States:

A Singular Prophecy.

Just about the commencement of the
present war the following article appeared
in the Courier des Etat UniS, published in
New York:
"Although many of the predictions made
by Nostradamus Especially those concern
ing the deaths of Henry w. and Louis
XVI.) have been completely verified, they
Ire generally discredited in our times. But,
in the Propeeties ct VdticindtsonS of that
great man, vol. edition of 5000, we find
the following, which would mto deserve
some attention.
'About that time (1S61,) great quarrel
md contest will arise in country beyond
the seas-America. Many poor devil will
be hung, and many poor wretches killed
by punishment other than the cord. Upon
my faith you may believe me. The war
will not cease for four years, at which none
should be astonished or at all surprised, for
there will be no hatred and obstinacy in it.
At the end of that time, prostrate and al
most ruined, the people will re-embrace
each other in great joy and love.
"Now, here is something very contirma-
tory of the prophetic genius of Nostra-
damus, but in no way consoling to us poor
devils and wretches, who will have to suf-
fer under this war for four years. Let us
hope that the astrologer was mistaken at
least in this point"
We have already had nearly three years
of the war, so truly and wonderfully pre-
dicted by Nostradamus two hundred and
fifty years ago, and no sane person will
contend that it will end short of that time
predicted. SAT the end of that time," says
the prophet, 'prostrate and almost ruined,
the people will re-embrace each other in
great joy and lovew confess that | have
some faith in this astrologer. The foul
years" spoken Of will complete the consti,-
tutional term of this Administration. A
Democratic Administration will succeed it.

"will re-embrace each other in great JOY
