ExDOrt of SDecfe.

From our Northern exchanges we learn that the
export of specie for the past week the heaviest
ever known within the same space of time. The
Baltimore San of the 21st says that since Wednes-
day last the Government has sold about nine mil
lions of coin, without producing any positive
decline in the price, or any stringency in the
money market. Of the shipments of specie, on
Saturday, the City of Paris took out So, 700 900,
the Napoleon III. 1924, 900; the Pennsylvania,
$155, 600; the New York, 1896, 900; the Germa-
mia, 1914, 500; the City of Limerick, $55, ZOO,
making total Saturday of $5,873, 500; total
for the week, So, 352 694 This sum is nearly one
half of the usual reserve of the Bank of England
and its arrival in Europe must have marked
effect, and do much towards restoring confidence
and prevent further rise in the rates of interest
"Pending the arrival of later European steam
ers, the activity of Governments at New York
subsidized on Saturday, though the
market was strong. The Financial Chronicle sup
poses that in four weeks ten millions of fivetwen
ties have been returned from Europe, and yet the
whole amount has been absorbed in that time, and
the market is one per cent. higher than it was. It
is also believed that if another ten millions are
brought over in the next two months they will also
as high price as during the two months
past. It is said that not over $780, 600 900 of the
total three hundred and fifty millions of our FIVE
twenties owned abroad, are possessed by British
capitalists. In addition to this conviction that
the United States government will be able to bear
its burthen of debt is beginning to pervade the

unbounded resources of the country as evidenced

Gov. Holden snuffs treason in the fact that the
young men of our University have seen it to place
the names of Hons. Jefferson Davis, J. c. Brock
inridge and T. B. Vance upon their tickets as at
tendant managers of the ball, and particularly as
the sunpardoned REBEL Vance, is to deliver the

Such ineffable buffoonery will not lessen the
sympathy of our young men for these distinguished
citizens, nor iniure those honorable and eminent
gentlemen with the Government.
We would advise the young men, if Gov Hol-

place of these persons those intensely loyal and

however, as are reported by the Presidents Com
missioners by the principal officers of the Bureau
in Virginia and North Carolina are not surprising.

naturally disposed to " smartness," could scarcely
help profting by their opportunities but we can
thank Generals Steedman and Fullerton for nav

servants Theirs is the first public report yet of

those against whom they are preferred, in the es-

fleet what precious boon this Bureau, as hereto
fore managed, has been to both white and black in
North Carolina. It is said, we know nothing of
it ourself, that affairs have mended in this locality
very materially during the past few days.
We might extend these extracts to any length,
for all papers of every shade, except black, con-
tanned the most earnest and solemn condemnation

committed,
From the Raleigh Sentinel.
In reading the report of Generals Steedman
and Fullerton upon the operation of the Freed
nent to remember that the cruelties therein de-
scribed inflicted upon the Freedmen, were
committed by the same class of men who were
filed with such righteous indignation at the idea
of whipping the unhappy negro" for larceny,
even though white men similarly punished
for the same offence The ''black and bloody
code" of North Carolina exercised these sensitive
gentry terribly Oh for a forty-stentor power
to chant thy praise, Hypocrisy
From the Richmond Examiner.
Speculation is rife. Men dressed in little brief
authority do these most unheard of things-award-
ing titles to land, and even, in instance,
granting divorce in the very presence of the two
Commissioners. They naturally recommend that
the Bureau be abolished, and that the negroes be
left to the protection of the laws-the military to
be resorted to in case of outrage This is truth
making itself heard. 1t is mighty and will pre-
vail.
From the Petersburg Index.
This report, the work of two United States gen
eral officers, is conclusive exhibit of the rapaci-
ty, cruelty lying and avarice with which this Yam
kee Institution is managed, and no honest man
rise from its perusal without concurring In the
opinion of these officers, that in both these States
the Bureau officers should be at once dispensed
with.
This Whittlesey, who thus screens his employee
from the charge of murder, is the worthy who had
a column of remonstrance in the Raleigh papers a
few days ago against the whipping of negro for
larceny.
From the Charleston News.
This report shows an amount of rascalty and
corruption that would make the most thorough
going scoundrel wish he had been one OF the Blu
