In our last issue We stated, on supposed
good authority, that the loss sustained by
Mr.. John Barrett, Of Head township, in
the recent burning of his barns and their
contents-stock, grain, hay, harness, i'm
plemcnts, Systematically set by some
outlawcd enemy, amounted to only $1,000.
We have since learned that his loss cannot
be less than $1,000. Mr.. Barrett has been
a resident of this county nearly twenty
one years, and is well known throughout
the county rs one of our most worthy citi-
zcns. In this loss, coming upon him in
the commencement Of winter, he has been
suddenly cut off from, the enjoyment of
the fruits of a summers hard labor, and
his family deprived of many of the com
forts of life which was their right to enjoy.
The citizens of this county sympatllizc
with Mr.. d. in his loss, and the guilty vii
lain will not find this latitude the most
congenial one in the future. We under
stand that Mr.. B. will give drawing at
Elkader on the 10th of November, in view
of disposing Of some property, necessary
to get relief from his present embarrass-
mcnt. The first prize is pair of fine
matched iron-gray colts, 2 years old +; the
second 4 years old steer; the third
years old steer. The drawing will be con-
Quoted fairly, by committee of unques-
tionable honesty, and will no doubt be pat
ronized by most of our best citizens in tho
county. 800

Massrs. RaYne 6 Co.

The suspension of the Banking House OF
Bayne & Co.. of this city, has become mat
ter Of some notoriety, in consequence OF its
business relations with the Merchants Ma
tional Bank Of Washington. We proceed to
rive what is reported to US to be more cor
rect version Of the affair in question.
Messrs. .Bayne & Co., it is said, had moth
ing to DO with establishing the Merchants
National Bank Of Washington, except SO far
as relates tothe actual ownership Of two hun
dred and fifty shares Of its stock. None Of
the firm of Bayne & Co. held any position
whatever III the management Of the Bank
They were simply correspondents Of the
Bank, as they were Of several other instltu-
tons Of similar character located in different
sections Of the country. Other National
Banks have also kept in the hands OF Bayne
Co., from time to time, large balances, whose
drafts were always honored, and at times
Bayne & Co. have made heavy advances to
them. It is stated that the books Of Bayne
& Co. will show that their losses were made
in the prosecution Of i legitimate business,
and not,as has been asserted by some, in heavy
speculations in stocks or their account
We understand the matter to be as follows:
The banks in this city, to whom Bayne q
Co. are indebted, are, we believe, with one ex-
ception secured from loss, and if the collater-
ais they hold be judiciously disposed Of there
will be a considerable surplus left for other
creditors The call loans, owing to private
individuals, have all, or nearly all, been paid
off. With those remaining unpaid the Sc
curity is said to be ample, except i'll two ca
ses, and those of small amounts. 1t IS fur
ther declared that Messrs Bayne & Go. have
not asingle stock contract unsettled, either in
this city or in New York AL Of them have
been settled and the balances paid.
They have paid off all of their depositors
toabouttwenty thousand dollars, which amount
they have included in first preferences along
with others who furnished them funds in the
midst of their troubles. BY the terms ofthc
trust, then, itappears they have first preferred
creditors to the extent Of SIS; 5000; I'd Pre-
ferred Merchants National Bank at Wash
ington) $3.50 900.
The only remaining creditors who are to
divide up the balance of their assets are the
Merchants National Bank and a few Of their
creditors whose claims amount to $4,000 Or
$4,000.
They will owe the bank at Washington af-
ter being allowed proper credits, and assuming
that the $3.50 900 above stated will be paid,
about s300,000 The business Of this house
has been very large.
1t is proper to say that the creditors of
Bayne & Co., III this city greatly preferred
that the members Of the firm be left to wind
up their own business; but when the bank at
Washington required it they at once consent
ed to make trust.-BaH GoznIe

MORTALITY AMONG THE BLACKS.
iugly in confederation of the statement OF tear
frl mortality among freedmen since emabclpa-
ton which lately was announced By, Judge,
6barkey, Of Mississippi, and caused murmur
Of incrcdulous surprise to run throughout the
North, we have the figures of the provost mar
shall general Of the armies of the I, s. to show
us how destructive has been the war amongst
enlisted blacks. The testimony thus borne
shows how vastly disproportionae have been
the ravages of disease among coored troops
com Dared with The white soldiers, though the
latter were in so much greater degree subject to
the rigors of active cam paignng and marches.
The report tells us that while 9 997 colorcd sol
diers we're killed in battle or died from wounds
received in action, the enormously large NUM-
Der of &c, 30l were swept away by disease; and
in his analysis, the provost marshal general
says among the white troops the proportion OF
deaths in action and from wounds to the deaths
from disease is about as one to two; among the
cOlored troops as one to cig INT. About one Lun-
dred and eighty thousand colored men were en-
listed in the army during the war, Of whom ac.
cordingIy nearly one out Of every seven died OF
disease The general proportion among white
troops is one to fifteen. It may be assumed
that where one coored soldier died Of disease,
at least five others were seriously sick, so that
very large proportion Of the colored troops
must have been constantly upon the sick list
There need be little surprise, then, at the
statement of Judge Sharkey, in his evidence be-
fore the reconstruction committee, that there
were now in Mississippi very little over one
half as many freedmen as there formerly were
slaves He said there was no way OF est!mat-
ing the mortality that prevailed among them;
they died in immense numbers. The mortality
among the colored people OF the South, espe-
cialy along the Mississippi river, during, the
past five years, is well known. La 1860 there
were 436, 600 negroes in Mississippi, and by
Judge Sharkeys statement more than 200, 900
of them must have died This statement is de-
plorabe, and indicates how desirable it is that
the full relations of peace and industry should
be re established in the South as speedily as
possible. The moral aud physical condition
and future prosperity Of the blacks will be i'm
proved immensely if the politicians will but
withdraw their hands from intermeddling With
the affairs OF both races in that section HUI
mainly demands that this be done. -BaH San.

Mr.. BANCROFT AND EARL RUssELL.-It
will be remembered that Mr.. Bancroft's alrl-
sion to England, in his commemorative grafton,
in February last, on Pres. Lincoln's death called
forth a good deal of comment Earl Russell
wrote Mr.. Adams letter. pleading not guilty
to Mr.. Bancroft's impeachment Of himself
The letter was SENT by his request, to Mr..
Bancroft, who replied, quoting Earl Russell's
letters and the speech referred to by him in
justification of the assertions of the oration.-
The sum and substance Of the correspondence
is, that Mr.. Bancroft asserted that at the COM
mencement Of the late civil war the British
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made
haste to send word through Europe that the
republic was in its agony; that the republic was
no more that headstone was all that remained
due by the lawful nations to the late Union"
Earl RUSSELL in his reply says Soon after
the news of the resistance In arms OF the South
ern States to the government OF the Union ar
rived IN this country, member OF the House
OF Commons stated in his place that the bub
bic OF republlcanlsm had burst / replied in
the same debate that the bubble of republican,
ism Lad not burst, and that if the curse of
slavery still hung about the United States, it
was England that bad made them the Gift of
the poisoned garment which was now their tor
raent. In fact, I have never had any doubt
that whether the United States consented to
separation or pursued the war to extremity,
the great western republic would remain, hap
