Referring to the recent capture
of the French garrison at Bagdad
by party offillibusters from the
American side of the Rio Grande,
the New York Express says:
The further and later intelli-
gence concerning this affair, trans
mitted from New Orleans, puts a
different, and, in some respects,
even more serious face, on it.
The American forces, which cross
ed the river and captured from the
Imperialists Mexican and French)
the town of Bagdad, besides plum
dering, stealing, shooting, etc,
turn out to be, chiefly, the One
Hundred and Eighteenth United
States Colored Infantry, under one
Colonel Davis. The fact is an ug-
ly one, and will tend to compli-
cate matters.

Should the fact of such a refusal
be verified, the Comptroller shall
declare within thirty days there
after that the United States bonds
and securities pledged by the re-
cusant association, are forfeited to
the United States. Holders of
the circulation of such bank, shall
then be notified to present it at
the Treasury of the United States,
where it will be redeemed in law
ful currency. The Comptroller
shall furthermore appoint a receiv-
bond aud security
whose duty will be to put such
bank in liquidation and legally
wind up its affairs. Under this
commission all acts done in con-
temptation Of insolvency, which
may be prejudicial to the creditors
of the bank, shall be declared null
and VOID.
Any officer connected with such
organizations, who may be guilty
of misdemeanor in his office, shall,
upon conviction, be punished by
imprisonment for not less than
five, and not more than ten years.
The foregoing includes all OF
the salient points which enter III
to the composition Of our National
Bank system. 1t occurs to us,
that assuming the basis of this
system to be impregnable, it pro-
vides every check, guard and bal
ance, which the most jealous wis
dom could suggest. II is necessa-
~ to bear in mind, however, what
this basis is. 1t is neither less,
nor more, than the credit of the
General Government. Now, with
regard to the permanent sound
ness of that credit, it is due to
candor to state that widely diver
gent opinions prevail. Many con-
slider it sufficiently fortified to re-
sist successfully all influences
which assail it. On the order
hand, not few believe that it is a
dead sea fruit, which may at any
moment turn to ashes OH our lips.
The report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury furnishes all the attain
able information on the point.
If ali inspection Of its state
ments should satisfy them about
the preliminary and vital question
of the National credit, we have no
hesitation in saying, on behalf
of the banks, that we are acqualn-
ted with no scheme of paper cur
which combines SO much to
with SO little to condemn.
While, therefore, it is obvious
that nothing could be more foreign
from our purpose than to aim any
reflection against the solvency OF
our National Banks, we would not
at tie same time be regarded as
strewing flowers over the possible
pitfalls which inhere in all sys-
tens of currency whose promises
10 pay are not at the will of their
holder convertible into gold. The
necessity, however, which at pres
ent obtains to the South for the
immediate employment of every
dollar which may come into her
possession extracts from these cau-
tionary suggestions most of their
practical significance. 1t is only
when a currency becomes the re-
ceptacle of permanent invest
ments that it appears in It's most
ominous phase, and, SO far as the
Southern people are concerned,
boarding is not a practice which Is
at all imminent.
From the foregoing our readefs
IRE as well prepared to judge of
The expediency or inexpediency of
exchanging their lands, and other
for the existing circula-
ion as we could advise.
