A CORRESPONDENT of the New Orleans
Tines furnishes the following history Of the
family Of the Admiral FARRAGUT:
"The FARRAGUT family was originally
Spanish, natives Of Barcelona. Before the
Revolution the grandfather Of the Admiral
emigrated to the neighborhood of Norfolk,
Virginia. He was probably induced to do
so by Col. WIN. LEIGH, cadet of a we'll
known family in England, who, in early
life, had served in the Spanish infantry, and
aflerward settled in Sussex county, Virginia,
as planter. His son, FERNANDO LEIGH,
married Miss FARRAGUT, who died with
out issue. He was the ancestor Of the late
eminent Virginia statesman and jurist BEN-
JAAIIN WATKINS LEIGH, and, in the mater
! nal line, Of the CLAIBoRNEs of Louisiana
and Mississippi. GEORGE FARRAGUT ia.
ther Of the Admiral) and this FERNANDO
LEIGH were close friends, and he received
his commission in the United States Navy
on the Recommendation of the Hon.
THOMAS CLAIBORNE then, and for near
thirty years, a member Of Congress from
Virginia. Il was after the brother of
this gentleman, Col. AUGUSTINE CLAI-
BORNE, that the young FARRAGUT men,
toned in the letter, was named. Shortly
a1tefWafu the fAhkA0tI latailN removed
to Tennessee, where they found WM. G. {.
CLAIBORNE just elected 20 represent the
State in Congress. He was soon ailer APP
pointed Governor Of Mississippi Territory,
and thence transferred TO Louisiana. Sub
sequently the FARRAGUT family removed to
this city, where the father Of the Admiral
and one Of his brothers, a naval officer Of
high standing, died. Here he passed his
carly youth, and here, some Ely years since,
he received bis appointment in the navy of
the United States, on the application Of
Governor CIAInoRNE, his steady and devo-
ted friend. In this city the Admiral has
numerous relatives, honorable and respecta-
BILE men, who, in the late great struggle,
shared with the Southern people their no.
tons Of duty and patriotism. Their illus.
trious kinsman followed his own opinions.
and maintained them in career distin-
guished no less ior pers,nal gallantry and
pre-eminent professional ability, than for
his generous and humane conduct 70 the
unfortunate"

MORE REAGAxs WANTED.
The New York Tribune exelaims:

The New York Tribune exclaims:
ave want more REAGANs in Texas and
everywhere else throughout the late slave
States"
This was said on the day Of the election,
and was followed by this invocation:
Every vote for FENToN is vote to make
more REAGANs in the South, and TO protect
them subsequently, while every vote for
HOFFMAN is a vote TO shoot, hang, tar and
feather them, to destroy their property, and
10 drive them from their homes. If we do
not stand by the cause here, while men at
the peril Of their lives are standing by II In
Texas, the cloud which there is now no big
ger than mans hand, will shortly darker
our whole sky, and real pacihcation will on
~ come after another campaign, and posi-
bly, only after another series Of campaigns,
anything but short, and everything that is
sanguinary."
Il was by such appeals as this, based upen
Mr.. REAGAE's late letter favoring negro
suffrage that the Northern Radicals have
carried the late elections. There was never
a greater fallacy. There is but one REAGAN
'fin Texas or elsewhere throughout the late
slave States" The votes for FENToN, and
BUTLER, and GEARY, and the rest Of the
successful Radicals, have not multiplied the
number. Of REAGANs. 1t has had the con-
trary eaect-though we trust it will produce
no Shooting, hanging or tarring and feath-
ering," nor any "sanguinary campaigns"
The Southern people may read in the
above outgiving of the Tribune their duties.
For every Radical vote in the Northern
States, it is expected that Southerner will
get upon his knees and crawl into the Rad
ical camps. Il is expected that these
elections will haze the effect to cause our
people to abase and dishonor themselves,
and TO barter away their own and the rights,
liberties and self-respect Of their posterity.
This is a fatal mistake, and it devolves' up
on US more than ever to prove it so, by i'm
movable firmness. Neither we, nor our
children, nor the country can gain anything
by yielding 10 the Radical dema nds, but
may lose everything thereby. Let us teach
them that we are as true and courageous in
support of the Constitution and the princi-
plies Of civil liberty, in the darkest hour of
misfortune, as we have shown ourselves in
the brighter days of prosperity. Let there
be but one REAGAN in all the broad land of
the South.

H. Tl-;J,sisU l.-- >-s:-i~ H. i,cIson-
al history of j. GORDON BENNETT. We
should like to read description retaliating
from the caustic graver of the Scotchman:
JAMES GORDON BENNETT.
Among the emigrants of the early part OF
the present century was a keen, ready, hard
working, thrifty, mischief-loving Scotch
man. Having a certain faculty as a writer,
good humor, a wonderful knowledge of men
and things, and talent for amusing invec-
tive that suggested the shrewdnessof BAILIE
NICOL JARvIE and the eoarseness of An
DREW FAIRsERvIcE, he found ready en-
ployment. He had great ambition and te-
nacity. We presume he made little money;
for we find him leaving journalism in dis
gust and attempting TO teach school. But
those whom the tarantula has bitten must al
ways dance, and so our adventurer driited
back TO the press. Hard work and poor pay
were the necessities of journalism in those
DAYS, even more than now. He tried Boston
and failed. lie attempted a newspaper in
Philadelphia, and lost his money. The
euphemistic politicians of that sedate me-
tropolis were shocked by the plainness oil
speech Of this droll Scotchman. He wrote
letters from Washington in praise of JACK
SON, but the imperious President had his
man BLAIR from Kentucky, and wished nc
other favorite. He acted as sub-editor on
the dreary New York dailies, but they tied
him down, and he soon frayed his tether.
Finally, going down in a cellar, he ar
ranged and printed a small four-paged sheet
of paper, and sold it for one penny. 1t was
rude, coarse, personal and malicious, but
apt, ready with news, and always in good
humor. This Scotchman had power, and
now coming to deal with the world in his
own person, he would be heard and seen
nay, more, he would rule. All the world
learned from this waggish, laughing Scotch
man--his penny a-sheet Radicals-that all
the world was bad; that men were corrupt
and women impure; that religion was
hypocrisy, politics fraud; honor a fancy
this Scotchman only remaining in his cellar
merry, teasing DIoGENEs, charged to tell
each man how bad his neighbors were, foi
the sum Of one penny.

THE CURRENCY IN New YoRK-We
gather from the Independent, and other New
York papers, that unpleasant feelings are
created, in thoughtful minds by the excess
of currency ahoat and bank expansion.
Business is dull, while money is plenty. The
Independent says:
The limit of National Bank currency, viz:
$3O0,000,0O0, has been reached; but this
enormous amount of currency, in addition
TO the greenback currency, is used for basis
for banking loans to a serious, if not to an
alarming extent. The City Bank loans
alone are $27O,0O0,OOO; but every National
Bank in all the States has made excessive
loans in proportion to its capital currency
issues. This stimulus TO speculation has
been most felt in prices Of stocks; but it is
also proportionately, though not so general
" known, in business and mercantile credits.
Credit has been extended in all directions,
and the general expansion has gone far
enough for safety. A contraction must
come sooner or later,
