BANK CHANGEs.-William II. Rhawn has re-
signed the Cashiership of the Second National
Bank to take the same position In the Central
National Bank of Philadelphia, and William II.
Shelmerdine. Teller OF the Second National Bank
from Its organization, has been duly elected
Caehier from this date.
Alexander Erwin, Jr. late Cashier of the Cen
tral National Bank, has been duly elected Vice
President, and William II. Rhawn, late Cashier
of the Second National Bank OF Philadelphia,
has been duly elected Cashier of the Central Ma
tional Bank.
The New York tribune this morning says:-
money on call is 4CD5 per cent, with more
demand, In commercial paper no change.
Best sells at 65@7, and second grade at s609.
Long paper is not popular, and cash loans are
more in favor than ever, The notification of the
Secretary OF the Treasury of reduction Of in
terest on temporary deposits from six to five per
cent. after May 10, and the refusal of any de-
posito except OF gold, insure still cheaper rates
tor call loans, "a further advance in Government
stocks and securities generally. The season,
and the public opinion alike, oppose long engage
ments for capital, and incline people to specu-
lative operations"
BY recent decision Of Judge Nelson of the
United States Circuit Court, delivered at Albany,
the capital of bank is declared to be a fixed
and not huctuatlng amount, and cannot be
altered except by legislative authority. The
surplus earnings of bank are, therefore, not
taxable as capital, the more particularly as a
distinct tax Is levied on surplus earnings by the
National Currency act. ~
"A call has been issued for National Con-
vention of Railroad Presidents, Chief Engi-
neers, and General Superintendents of all the
railroads of the United States to be held at

X. STUART POOLE.
BRITISH MUSEUM, September 21.-While resid
ing IN Caro- in IlS48, when the cholera was raging
there was informed that an Englishman IN O small
neighboIing village had effected speedy and per.
feet cure IN every case oil that disease which he had
an opportunity of treating The number OF the cases
was slXtY.two, and many OF them were very manP-
nant; and subsequently learned that his mode OF
treatment had been pTGctised with equal success IN
Spain, ConstantinOple, and India, and was useful
in many cases, when the cholera ITSELF had been
subdued by other means. Upon applying 10 MIN,
received the following directions Whlch pracUised
IN a lew cases, which afterwards occurred IN my
house, and elsewhere, with invarlaoe success;-
III the patient have not vomIted the pos
matter which Is characteristic OF the dsea 0, aud
which resembles rice water, give tablespoonful OF
powdered mustard in tumbler OF cold water as an
emetlc after the vomiting whether produced by the
disease or by the above means 10 grains OF dered
capsicum (CaYenne pepperl stirred up in IT, This
generally produces almost immediate relief, and
within an bour rest, perspiraion, and seep. In a
few cases 1t was found necessary TO give half dose
ofthe brandy and capslcum after half an hour or
more second half dose was never required, b 1T,
should 1t be required, 1t may be given. No other
huid should be drank before recovery:
ITO accelerate convalescence, 1t has been sug-
gested that 10 dropsof mixture OF spirits OF ammonia
and sulDhuric ether, In equal parts may be adv1n-
tageously given three or 10ur times during the fol-
lowing daY, ..
E" The above quantity of brandy and capsicum is
for an adult patient suffering q severe attack; Ia
other cases, twothirds or. ha of that quantity may
suffice, as 1 have proved by experience"

Arrival Of Captain Kelly, James

A Letter from the Captain Concerning
the Movements of His Chief.

The arrival of thus gentleman, and not James

portance to the Fenian Brotherhood at the pre-
sent time. He brings with him interesting in
formation regarding the movements of the great
Head Centre in Paris, whom he preceded,
according to orders, to America. He gives the
following information in relau IN to the inten-

directed by him, on leaving Paris, to announce
that he would positively sail rom Havre Tor
this port, via Brcst, on the steamship Napoleon
III, which lett the latter port on Saturday, the
2Sth inst. and which will probably arrive here
on Wednesday, the 9th proXlmo, for the purpose
of making tour through the principal American
cities. Matters OF the utmost importance to the
Irish Republic prevented his leaving France by
the steamship Lafayette, which reached this port
on Saturday, and on which he was expected to
arrive. He will address the friends of Irish in
dependence at the several cities which will be
designated through the public press in the
course of a few days.

We lett FL Paso, Mexico, February |, en- route

human habitation is to be seen, and where the
wild Indian reigns supreme amid the solitude.

since the close OF the war. We numbered about
40men, we'll mounted and well armed, with nine
baggage wagons.
AT Eagle Springs, one hundred and thirty
miles below FL PasO, we we're attacked by the
Apache Indians, nun bering about thirty war
riors, well mounted on good chargers. We caO-
tured from them seven head OF beef cattle; they

al woundng two others. They made charge
on four OF our party, but we're repulsed, the rest
OF us coming TO their rescue. No further da-
mage was done. We found the Government
posts on the frontier, occupied by United States
troops before the war, abandoned and destroyed,
nothing but tie shells remaining. Among the
number of permanent posts destroyed are Fort
Quitman, Fort DAVIS, Fort Stockton, Fort Lam
caster, Fort Hudson aud Fort Clark. 1t will
cost much to repair them. Considering the road
had been abandoned so long, it was in good

President Juarez'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Cabinet and AFmy-An Interview with
Ihe Pres1dent-FIrm Patriotism of the
LiberaIs-ERects of the War I'm Texas.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April s.-Havng recently
arrived in this city from the State OF Chihuahua,
in Northern Mexico, some items from that far
distant and isolated country may be OF interest
to your numerous readers
Opposite Franklin, Texas, on the Rio Grande,
is situated the picturesque and beautiful town
OF Paso del Norte, at present, or at least when
lett, the headquarters OF President Juarez, where
he is surrounded by his Cabiuet staff officers
and about three hundred soldiers. The Govern
ment is short OF resources, and the remnant OF
its once large aud powerful army exposed to
many privahons.
This army OF patriots presents to the world
sublime sympathizine, and NOBLE aspect, fight
ing as tney are for liberty, their homes, and re-
publican institutions. Their country invaded by
a numerous mercenary soldlery, backed by one
OF the most powerful nations Of the EARTH this
small but gallant band, owing TO the vicis9itudeJ
and misfoTtupes OF war, has been obliged to
retreat, step by step, before powerful enemy,
and take refuge ol the extreme border of their
native land with the determination to conquer
or die there.
INTERVIEW WITH JUAREz.
In January last l had an interview with Pre-
sident JuarcZ. He stated his unalterable deter.
mipation never to abandon his native soil, ana
that he hoped eventually to have the aid of the
United States, and that he was confident and
sanguine of ultimate success. OF address
plealng, with ponSned manners ana clas
sical and finished education, that honest
and true patriot would be an ornament to the
best society in any country. An Indian by de.
scent he possesses in great degree the proml
nent characteristics of that race in his frmness
and determination. He remains secluded at his
headquarters on the plaza at El Paso most o.
the time, and although he receives many and
urgent solicitations from the Americans on the
United States side of the river to visit them he
has respect ully but nrmly declined, for the rea
son that he thinks the enemy might miscOnstruC

ate Mr.. Bancroft's expression, at once contested
tho Austrian Minister'S right to complain Of it,
and that because the Cabinet Of Vienna had
several times declared It's intention OF remain
