TIE RICHMOND BANKS AND THE IREAsU-
RY DEPARTMENT. the time OF the evacua-
ton of Richmond, the banking establishments
of that city contriyed to send away the amount
OF coin belonging to the different institutions
to point further South, for the purpose OF
securing it. The amount originally reached
the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. Of which one hundred and fifty thous.
and we're lost by plumber, and the remainder
placed on deposit at Washington, Georgia IN
charge Of special agent OF the Richmond
banks, who, owing to the unsettled condition
of affairs, was unable to get back to Richmond,
and was therefore compelled to remain there
Tor some time.
While this coin wasat Washington, Georgia,
claim was made to it by General Wild Of the
Freedmen's Bureau on the ground that 1t was
captured property, and an investigation OF the
case by General Winslow resulted in giving the
right of possession to the agent of the banks
Afterward, about the Goth of August last, al
order from the President, through the Secreta-
~ of War, was received by General Steedman,
then commanding the department, to turn over
the captured coin to a Treasury agent This
was done, and the coin sent to this city, where
it was placed on special deposit with the Treas
urer Of the United States.
Claim is now made in behalf Of the Rich
mond banks for she restoration OF this money,
and it is alleged that The order Of the President
was made without full information of the facts
in the case.
After full and careful examination by the
Treasury Department, the matter has been re-
ferred to the President, who has ordered that
the coin be restored, provided the identity be-
tween the amount cow on deposit in the
Treasury and that claimed by the banks can be
established, and compliance made with GER
tain formal conditions required by the Secreta-
~ of the Treasury Wash. Chronicle.

The End of Time.

We are passing on, slowly but surely on,
to our graves. Each day brings us nearer
to that unseen world, that strange country,
into which so many enter, to d sell in hap
piness or misery forever.
We meet with no returning travellers,
who can relate to US their experience; they
can pass on never to return. We follow
our friends with straining eyes, as one by
one they pass the sea of life and drawing
rear to the shadowy land of eternity van
ished from our sight Then the warning
speaks deeply to our unwilling hearts.
Perchance we have seen a beloved one ia
ken from our family circle. We have seen
the cheek so bright with health and beauty,
grow pale and wan. We have listened to the
dear voice, and marked how each day it
grew more falteriDg, till it was hushed in
the silence of death-then we have drawn
the hair from the plain cold brow, and seen
the delicate form deposited in the tomb. 1t
is in moments like these that we fully real
ize our actual position-that we ourselves
are slowly, yet surely, travelling towards
our graves.
How many there are who seldom give
any consideration to this serious subject.
They are too busy, too anxious after world
ly wealth and power, putting forth all their
talents and energy for one great object in
view-the possession of gold, passing with
careless glance and unfeeling heart the
moor in their desolation and misery; guard
/ ing with misery care their dollars and
dimes; unconsciously sowing that others
may reap, for the time SET apart in the
future Tor rest and enjoyment perhaps nev
er comes Ere that time their souls may
be called away, and an account demanded
