contain 4,025,l7S lbs Of powder 40I, O26
lbs. of shell 233, Sl8 lbs. Of cannon balls
s. 800 lbs of crenades AZ, 8G2 boxes Of
grape shot and q $50 lbs. Of bombs. The
fiscal resources Of the Bureau Cor the past

penditures to s43, 1I2. 53I, leaving balance
of s., GIL ia to the credit Of disbursing
officers in the Government repositories, on
June so, 1865. The report says iron carri-
ages for field and siege guns are preferred,
and are rapidly superceding the wooden
ones. Smooth bore cannon are better than
the wrought iron OF steel cannon. Not a
single Dahigren gun has burst, and this gun,
at ordinary range, can throw a ball with
sufficient force to pierce eleyen-inch armor
The east iren PARROTS are liable to burst
The one hundred and fifty 100 FOUNDERS
have been abandoned, and the SO-pounders
selected as the limit. The Bureau proposes
hereafter, to arm the navy with smooth boresl

Editor Of the BeAvar Bulletin:
SIR: VIII you allow me small space in
your valuable paper, which promise shall be
used only for the one q feet which prompts
me to trouble you. Being an old citizen of
the town Of Bolivar, I feel at liberty to talk
freely to the little boys, knowing that there
is not one Of them who viii turn deaf ear
to nay advice, and probably | may have some
influence in causing them to pay proper
respect to the teachings of their good pa
rents, as well in the absence of them as
when under their care
I thought when I began that felt at lib
erty to talk freely, but was almost forget
ting that some parents don't like to have
any one intimate that their dear children
are anything else but perfection, yet I will
proceed, and if this should meet the eye of
I,any of that class, they may just consider

Well, boys, prepare yourselves for little

rious future in which you all are destined

From Mexico.

The following is an extract from the Mat
amoras Ranchero, extra, Of the 9Th.
Yesterday several officers and men from
the Fedearl side of the Rio GrBnde crossed
at GAINESVILLE during the day and took up
quarters at Bagdad, apparently for the night
Shortly after midnight the guard at the ferry
and along the river were surprised, Captured
and disarmed by the party above mentioned.
Such lighters as were at hand were immedi-
ately taken possession Of and with them
nearly the entire military force at Clarks-
vile were crossed over in two seperate bod
les, making in all some 400 men, mostly ne
groes. The garrison of Bagdad, containing
about 10 men, was completely surprised
and captured The commander of the post
and the captain Of the port were taken pris-
Oners while In their beds. 1t is said that
the latter was killed and the former made
his escape. OF the truth of this there Is
some doubt. Upon taking possession of the
town, the work Of pillage and plumber i'm
mediately began. Every lighter in the place,
some thirty in number, was taken posses
sion of, and as rapidly as each warehouse
could be Quilted, its contents were immedi-
| ately crossed over to the American side
The gunooat Antonio was called upon to
surrender She answered their demand with
| troadside that scattered the fllibusters in
a hurry.
Shortly after second demand of the same
nature was made, which was answered in
the same manner and with like result She
| is on the way up the river. An Austrian
! Sergeant on the Antonio was killed
At daylight the French men-ofwar in the
! harbor opened fire, compelling the filibus-
ters to take refuge in the upper part of the
! town.
At last accounts the fllibusters we're il
possession of the town. The deaths are re
ported to be thirty on each side.
1t is stated that the fllibusters were under
command of Col Reed; that one b. Clay
| Crawford, being at Brownsville, upon receiv
ing information Of the capture Of Bagdad

The National Banks.


Many enquiries having been made as to
the consequences of failure of any one of
the National Banks, authorized by the Gov
ernment and there being some uneasiness
felt at the report of the failure of some of
them in the North, we copy the following
from the commercial of the New Or
leans Crescent, which ezplaines the whole
question.
The failure of four National Banks at the
North to redeem their circulation in u. S
treasury notes has created Il petty panic
among some holders Of this currency
Yesterday, we are informed, at least, Of the
city markets, it was refused by the butchers
Under these circumstances and in order to
prevent ill-informed holders from selling at
a discount, the First National Bank prompt
" gave notice through the press, that it was
ready to redeem all National Banks at its
counter, at par, In i. s. treasury notes In
the meantime, some money dealers were ex-
changing city treasury notes for them at
par and all the banks and dealers were re-
ceiying them on deposit, and in some cases,
exchanging Legal tender notes for them to
accommodate timid holders
1t is evident that the public do not appre-
ciate the fullness in the provisions Of the
National Banking Law to save the holders
of the Bank circulation from loss. In the
first instance the bank is compelled to de-
post with the comptroller of the currency
United States Bonds to the amount of at
least one-third of its capital. The cOmptrol-
Ter then issues to the banks, In circulating
notes, ninety per cent Of the market value
of the securities depOsited-but in no case
more than par-reserying the ten per cent,
as a margin for the protection, not Of holders
of the notes but of the Government, which
IN any erent, is bound to pay the full face
of the notes in lawful money of the United
States that is, if the securities deposited
were suddenly to become yalueless, the Coy
eminent would be the loser, not the note
holder
The proceedings in the case of bank fail
ure are prompt and simple. The holders OF
the banks bills present them at the counter
for redemption in lawful money. 1t is re-
fused The holder then protests them for
merly, and the notary sends the protest to
the Controller of the Currency. The Con
troler makes further investigation into the
facts and on being satisfied Of the failure, is
bound within thirty DAYS thereafter to de-
clare the deposited securities forfeited to the
Government Thereupon the Secretary oil
the Treasury Is required to direct the hold
ers of the notes of the broken bank to pre-
sent them at the United States Treasury al
Washington, for payment when they will
be paid In lawful money Of the United
States There are other provisions IN the
law TO guard the Government against essen
tial loss, but, standing in the position OF en-
dorser of the notes, the Government Is bound
to pay them in lawful money, whatever may
be the result Of itself

The Comm Eleotion.

The election of County Offices viii take
place on the first Saturday in March, next,
Mt which time clerks Of the County and Cir
cult Courts, County Register, Justices of the
Peace, Sheriff, County Trustee, and Consta-
bles are to be chosen According to Article
3, Sec SD of the Code Of Tennessee, Clerks
Of the Courts should have been elected Ia
March, 1864, and hold Office for four years,
but as no election was held at that specified
time, the people will be called upon to fill the
positions according to law that are now held
By appointment, for the remainder Of the
unexpired term. Thirty-fye Justices of the
Ieace are to be chosen, to hold Office for six
years. The Sheriff County Trustee, and
eighteen Constables are also to be elected,
who hold Office for two years Late inform
alton from Nashville, leads US to believe
that no disposition will be shown to prevent
the election from taking place, but on the
other hand, notifications will be made in
the franchise law which will enable almost
all Of the former DISTINGUISHED to vote at the
March elections, which, to US, seems to be
by far the better policy, for if the people are
allowed to manage their own county affair,
it would greatly conduce to the public good
and contribute largely to the extinguising O
feelings and animosities ayerse to peace anC
harmony five cannot have representation
at the White House, let US at least be cor
rectly represented at home The law o
1886 governing the elections, plainly sayi
that the Offices mentioned above shall b.
filled By election Let the people of Harde
man come forward and assert the right thu
guaranteed and choose their own servants
We notice that many announcement ar
made in the columns of our exchanges 70
persons who are disposed to hold position
Of profit and emolument, and there is n
reason why such should not be the case il
this county. No one need fear that the cleo
tion will not como off, for it is beyond tn
shadow Of doubt. There is but little tim
to work in and none should be lost Let til
best men in the county come forward an,
they viii be elected Who will start tn

On the 9th inst Hon. Horace H. Day, OF
New York, addressed the Chamber of Com
merce of Milwaukee in an able manner on
the important project now before Congress
Of establishing water communication be-
tween the lakes aud the sea-bOard for the
largest class Of lake vessels by means of n
ship canal around the Falls of Niagara.
Mr. Days plan contemplates the carriage of
4 vessel Of 1900 tons burthen over the route
in portable docks, holding sufficient water to
float the vessels, on inclined plane system,
the descending vessel operating as the mo-
tive power to draw up the ascending one.
the difference in the weight of vessels or
cargoes being regulated by the displacement
of water in the docks This plan entirely
does away with the use Of locks with the
delays incidental to the latter, and has been
pronounced entirely good by eminent engi-
neers. The Chamber of Commerce passed
a resolution warmly CONNIE nding the pro
iect, and appointed a committee to cooper
ate with similar committees appointed by
other boards of trade in securing the early
action Of Congress on the subject a reso-
luton was alsoadopted rendering the thanks
of the Chamber to Mr.. Day for the earnest
and able manner in which he presented
this important question to their eonsidera-
ton

MIsERABLE-The passenger accommoda-
tions on the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road are Of the most miserable character
and Judging from the experience of ourselves
ms well as from that Of numerous other IN
fortunates who left Memphis last Saturday
morning on the 40 accommodation train,
but little disposition is shown by the officers
of the road to discriminate between whit
people and negroes. When we arrived it
the depot on the morning mentioned Above,
the single passenger car attached to the
accommodation train was crowded almost to
sufocation, and its inmates were shrouded
in utter darkness. We made one attempt to
get in, but were forced to give up all hopes
of going to the Junction that day. Luckily,
thore was no baggage master aboard the
train and some sixteen OF seventeen of us
got into the baggage car and accommodated
ourselves as bestwe could. When daylight
came there was no little murmuring among
the poor white trash as they were made
aware of the fact that negroes Of all ages
and sizes were occupying seats throughout
the car, and this too, while many gentlemen
were compelled to stand up during the en-
tire trip. A friend of ours spoke to The
conductor of the accommodation about the
negroes, and he informed them that negroes
paid their fare and were as much entitled t.
n seat as any one else We do not den!
the right of freedmen to seats on the cars
but it does go against the grain " to SCI
them occupy seats alongside of ladies nnc
gentlemen who never can be lowered to th'
level of Sambo, Cuff or Sue. 1t is an out
rage upon persons who are compelled t
travel on the NJ. & c. r. R. to force them t.
sit in the same cars with negroes. Wonde
