[From the Evening Post.l
CvrnS w Field

We hope we do not violate confidence in
stating fact to the honor of a New York
merchant, which, though private transac-
tion, ought to be known. Our fellow-citi-
zen, Mr. Cyrus W. Field, whose name will
always be connected with the Atlantic Tele-
graph, has twice nearly ruined himself by
his devotion to that enterprise. Though a
man of independent fortune when he began,
he embarked in it so large portion of his
capital as nearly to make shipwreck of the
whole. While in England, engaged in the
expedition of 1857, financial storm swept
over this country and his house suspended,
but on his return he asked only for time,
and paid all in full with interests. But the
stoppage was heavy blow, and being fol-
lowed by fire in 1852 which burned his
store to the ground, and by the panic of De-
cember, 1860, just before the breaking out of
the war, he was finally obliged to compro-
mise with his creditors. Thus released, he
he has at last carried through. The sue
cess of the Atlantic Telegraph, we are happy
to learn, has brought back a portion of his
lost wealth, and his first care has been to
make good all losses to others. He has adj
dressed a letter to every creditor who suffer
ed by the failure of his house in 1860, re-
uuesting him to send statement of the
amount compromised, adding the interest
for nearly six years. and as fast as presented
returns a check in full The whole amount
will be about 100000. Such fact, howev-
er he may wish to keep it secret, ought to be
known to his honor and to the honor of the
merchants of New York.

Though the substance of the following
corresp0udence has been made known, we
have not before seen the letters comprising
it. Mr. Nc Culochs letter will have the et-
feet to check any tendency OF decline In
our government bonds abroad. But, still as
neither the Secretary nor any other power
can undertake to answer for the future ac
ton of Congress, it would be very we'll, and
perhaps very necessary, that all doubt upon
the subject of the inquiry should be removed
by speedy legislation.
NEW YORK, November is, 1866.
The Hon. Hugh Nc Culloch, Secretary Of the
Treasury, Washington, d. c.:
DEAR SIR: We have good reason for be-
iieving that an impression prevails very gen
erllly in London and to some extent in Paris
and Germany also, that the United States
Government will avail itself of the option of
paying the fve-twenty bUnds Of 1869 next
year, and that the liquidation will be made
in currency. This idea keeps the bonds
much below the price at which they would
sell were it understood that the Government
regards itself as bound to pay them in gold.
Should you deem it proper to give an ex-
planation of your views as to the kind In
which the principal of the bonds is payable,
of which we could make use through our
European circular, we have no doubt the
opinion would be of much interest to foreign
investors in our funds.
We are, dear sir, your obedient servants.
L. P. MORTON & Co.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, November Is, 1866.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor of the 18th inst.
is received. 1 regard, as did also my prede-
cessors all bonds of the United States as
PAYABLE in coin The bonds that have ma
tured since the suspension of specie payments
have been paid, and I have no doubt that
the same will be, true with all others, this
being, as l understand it to be, the establish
ed policy of the Government. The five-twenty
bonds of 1862 will either be called in at the
expiration of five years from their date, an d
paid in coin, or be permitted to run until
the Government is prepared to pay them in
coin.
L am, very truly, yours,

Judicial Decision in Virginia--A White
Man can Rightfully Shoot a Negro.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-An ex-oficer of
the Freedmen's Bureau, who has just return
ed to this city on trip through the north
ern part of Virginia, reports that the noun
famous region, including the towns ofLynch-
burg, Lexington, Staunton, &c, is bitterly
hostile to the black man and the white Uni
onists. The latter are slowly selling out their
real estate and moving northward. 1t is
with the utmost difficulty and in spite of
bitter opposition from the people of all that
section of the country that colored schools
are established there The following judicial
decision, just given in Lexington reveals the
feeling of even the best class of the whites
toward the negroes.
A few weeks since, respectable black
man walking homeward just at dark saw
young man, who turned out to be one of the
students of Gen. Lees College, talking with
a colored girl Thinking he probably meant
to accomplish her ruin, the black man stood
still moment to watch. The student, no
ticing that he stopped, ordered him to move
on. The negro remaining quiet, the student
with threat renewed his order, to which the
black man replied that he thought he had
right to stand on the sidewalk. The stu
dent rushed into building close by, where
some of his classmates roomed, and demand
ed pistol. When summoned to give their
evidence at the trial, the students testified
that they asked him what he wanted pis-
tol tor, and he replied, ITO shoot negro
with who insulted me-" They advised him
to take club and knock him down but on
his refusal to take the club, one of them
handed him a revolver. He immediately
returned to the street but the negro had gone.
Ascertaining the direction from the girl, he
went after him, shot him through, and then
returned to his associates.
The negro died before morning, but he
lived long enough to testify against his MUIR
derer On the trial the pistol was produced
and all the facts proved The Judge, after
hearing all the testimony, including the
statement of the student himself, decided
that the laws of Virginia have always recog-
nlzed the difference between the white man
and the black that a white man may pro-
tect himself from negro insults that though
the deed was clearly proved, it was the re-
suit of the insult and that, therefore, he
should discharge the defendant from Gus
tody.
The effect of this decision is to justify
shooting negro in cold blood who endeav-
ors to save any of the females of hisrace from
