Terrible Condition OF Affairs in
MisSisSippi-TheC Country Over
rum with Robbers.

IFrom the Klchmond WhIg March T.!
A correspondent of the Montgomery Ap-
peal, writing from Grenada, Miss, says -
Affairs on the border are in u terrible con-
dition, the country being filled with jay
hawkers and robbers, composed principally
of dcserters, whose deeds rival the famous
days of Dick Turpin, and such reign OF
terror has been inaugurated that travel is
almost completely broken up in some por-
tions Of the country Coupled with this,
there are a large number of soldiers return,
ing to their homes on furlough, who are VOW,
ing vengeance on the spectators in the
northern counties who have refused to take
confederate money for corn and other neces
saries of life from their families, and unless
something is speedily done by those in au-
thority we may look for a desperate state Of
affairs here during the present month"

Currency and Business.

The New York Times and Tribune arc
discussing the effect that the reduction o.
the currency to gold basis will have on bu
siness. The Times thinks that if the de
cline in the premium on gold is not gradua
it would effect business men disastrously Tn,
Tribune, on the other hand, wants the pre-
if it possibly can be done, and it is conf
dent that thereby the country would bt
very greatly benefited. There is not much
use in at present discussing the probable
effects on business Of the reduction Of cur
rency to gold basis. Such reduction is
not likely TO occur soon. On the first OF
March of last year the currency was 60 pei
cent 4nSer Paf ana on ,ne mrs. o, rd,
par-being worth thirty eight and hall
per cent. less than it was worth one yeal
ago A year hence, it will, undoubtedly
be worth less than now. Statesman.

Petroleum I'm Ohio.

Ohio is now undergoing a close examina-
ton by vast numbers of professors in lie, y
and from the present number of reports of
Oil Indications, we are led to believe that
Ohio is nderlaid with ''ile," and during
the next season she will be literally perfora-
ted with holes; so much so, that it will be
dangerous to be out o nights. But, as there
is no doubt that Ohio is more valuable than
Pennsylvania, or Virginia, for oil, we pre-
dict, that before the first day of January,
1865, Ohio can and will boast cf being the
best and most profitable oil State in the
Union. Her oil statistics for the year 1865
will compare with any State in the Union.
Bear this in mind. -Petrohm Gazette.

That's the Way the Meney Goes:
Pop Goes the Country.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says, the largest purity
ever given in that city took place Wednes
day night, at the residence OF Chas Knapp,
contractor for heavy cannon. Two houses
were connected into one by tearing down
the walls. Celebrated caterers from New
York prepared the most costly supper for
seven hundred guests; while green houses
far and nearwere called upon for flowers to
decorate parlors and tables. The street IN
front was foored and carpetcd; and it was
slo0, ,00O--thc profit on about fifty guns. -

Government Protecting Life,

We hear much about the Government
protecting our lives, liberty and property.
Yes, but what Government 1t is not the
Federal Government, by any MEANS that
does that. If man is injured in his per-
son, or in his property, or in his character,
the Federal Government does nothing for
the sufferer. 1t is the State government
that gives us protection, and not the Ma
tional Nowhere within the limits of the
