Terrible Revenge Oh a Bank by
ROthSChild.

An amusing advt nture Is relate
as having happened at the Bank G
England, which had committed tn
great disrespect of refusing to dis
count a bill Of a large amount, draw
| by Ans.leen Kothsclild, Of Frank
fort, on Nathan Rothschild, Of Lon

The bank had haugltily replied
'that they discounted only their ow,
bills, and not those of private per
sons." But they had to do with on,
stronger than the bank. " "Privats

Three weeks afterward Nathan
KVthschild, who had employed the
interval in gathering all the five
pound notes he could procure in
England and on the Continent, pre-
sentcd himself at the bank at tl,,
opening of IN. Office lie drew from
his po.k.too"k !, five pound note,
and they naturally counted out five
sov"r"igns, at the same time looking
quite aS.onished that the Baron
Rothschild should have troubled him
self for such a trihe. The Baron eX-
.min-d one by ono the coins, and
put them into little canvas bag ::
then drawing out another note-a

TidmarSh Come at Last.

Stone, Rosstoh and Muarav's grea
! Southern Circus, which has been a,
nounced ever since Christmas, a
on its way to Texas, is at last draw
, ing near. Our sanctum was invaded
yesterday, by "a burly looking gen
tleman dressed in gray, who an
nounced himself as Capt. Tidmarsh
the director Of the great troupe men
toned above We lrave been trac
ing the advance Of this mammoth
establishment all the way from Mem
| pl,is down to New Orleans, where
is vast triu,nphs eliminated in a
Hitherto unprecedented success.-
We are glad to See Tidmarsh, we are
glad the show is coming; for, from
the notices of it. in all the Southern
papers, it is in every respect worthy
of the patronage of the Southern pub
lie. Our contemporaries everywhere,
speak Of it as coming entirely y up to
all its promises, and endorse Capt
Tidmarsl as one whose. word to the
public is never lightly proven; he
says himself that. independent of a
determination, lie has ever made,
never to herald an Indifferent exhi-
bition, he feels Il peculiar pride and
pleasure in renewing the acquaint-
ancc of his old companions-in- arms
to present to them something superb
to anything, both in performance and
management, that has before passed
over the country, and certainly, if W.:
can judge of this colossal concern
from the superior style in which the
| Captain himself travels, it must truly
be what all speak Of it, splendid
affair. The band, how our ears tim
gle to hear the splendid music, that
accompanies the troupe, in this mat
ter, we are informed, the manage
mcnt has not only been liberal, but
lavish. perry's Cornct Band, con-
sidrred very fine, was displaced in
New Orleans to make room for a
bette. and til. renowned Obi Broth
er Band" engaged at immense cost;
tn. selections Of music, given by
these wonders of musical genius, are
applaudcd as being truly delicious.
The outfit Of ,h!s circus, from the
specimen we hav. had in the adver-
Using department, must be costly III
the extreme, and money has been
freely cNpen..d to meet all contin-
y,nceS. An example Of the ample
resources Of til. troupe may be had
in the fact. that anticipating the
scarcity Of accommodation for 50
great Il number Of attachc,.s, it has
actually accompanying it a sP/e""t"
rurc}iug Iiofe/, fitted up with all
the comforts of a permanent estab-
liShM-nt, catering spl,Ndidlv, for
more than 81 OF the men employed
by the company, and under the di-
v-ction of an able hotel manager, Mr..
Andrew Cullen, with first, second
,.nd third cooks. fine sleeping apart
rnents. &C.. this management enables
the hotels through til" country, to re-
c.ive and comfortably entertain the
balance of the troupe, and facilitate
tMcir buS!urS SO rs to give at all
places a satisfactory and elegant en-
tertainln-nt We remember that lid

friends, promised them perfect and
We'll managed and interesting en-
..r,ainn-nt. with fine horses, riders.
yv,nnn-ts, clowns, music; etc, and as
Iidmarsh says. MeSsrS. Stone, Ross

him in procuring all he desired, he is
now personally responsible to his
friends for all he promised.

SUPPOSE THE REBELS SHOILD VOTE?-
The Chicago Tribune. referring to the re.
turns ofthe last Presidential election, makes
the following calculations. "Suppose all
the rebels of those States and alI the col
ored men had voted. the majority for Lin
coin would have exceeded half million
by fifty or seventy thousand. In the clev-
on secession States there are three and o
half millions of colored people and mill
ion Of unconditional union white people
who would vote the Republican ticket,
leaving four and half millions of rebels.
Collecting these numbers together, we
have the following result
White Republicans in loyal States, Il. .OOO,-
900; black Republicans in loyal States,
900; white Republicans in rebel States,
l,000,0O0; black Republicans in rebel
States, 800 900; total strength Of Repub-
lican party. II, 200, 600. Copperllea,is and

600. Total of copporhcad and rebel party,

1t Is thus seen that a majority of tho
American people of not less than three and
half millions support the measures and
principles of the Republican party"
