I losses sustained on gold purchased BY
order of John Talbot and Jones, and
for which losses w. I'LL. Talbot was to
stand as security, and that Johu Tai
bolt and Jones refused to acknowledge
the amount and pay the money.
In what manner the money was de-
posted, whether in his private name
or in the name of the State, we do not
know; but we have heard it as rumor
that Mr.. Lyons says he does not know
the State In the transactions, and that
the bank does not owe Mr.. Talbot
any thing How much truth there is
in this last | cannot tell, but give the
rumor as it came to me.
Mr.. Talbot says that he has no
doubt of the ultimate payment of the
remaining $51, 875 Ga. Upon what
foundation this remark is predicated,
he has not condescended to inform
the people. The bank can pay moth
ing more Mr. Ricketts, will pay
nothing more, and it must be that Mr..
Talbot intends to perform this opera
ton himself. Upon this point, how
ever, | am entirely incredulous, and
believe that the State will lose the
$4,000, unless it can be made out of
Mr.. Talbot by process of law. AS
the matter stands, Mr.. Talbot is
short in the sum of $4,000. The
school fund was taken from the State
and invested in gold gambling
house, in the city of New York, where
it is lost. To break the force of this
disaster it is smoothly stated that
$18, 405 so of the amount has been
secured by collaterals, consisting in
negotiable notes, but it turns out that
$780, 600 of these collaterals exist only
in the form of an open account, in ia
yor of the bank and against John Tai
bolt and Aquilla Jones, both notori-
Gus Copperheads, for losses in gold
purchased from them which they re-
fuse to pay. That they are honor
bound to pay these losses, / am not
calling IN question, but will they do
SOP That is the question that will in
terest the people and school children

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

1t is with feeling Of profound regret, that we
find our fellow citizens of the South, giving way
to disposition to anticipate disastrous future
The general tone of the press the views of leading
public men, and the daily conversation of our
citizens. all evince leaning toward the dark side
of the question. Hesitahcy upon entering into
business uncertainty in regard to FUTURE location,
distrust of all enterprises, and an universal
lament over expected destruction of all political
and personal rights in the South, are among the
sipus of the times This is not as it should be-
It is unnecessary foolish and suicidal Its effect
upon business is bliehting, and all enterprise
must fall to the ground under its ilomeneI inau-
ence.
No undertaking will flourish unless its projectors
have confidence in the future. No farmer will
succeed unless he is willing to look ahead. No
business man of what ever kind can afford to
anticipate misfortune. He must have confidence
in his ultimate good, or his endeavors become
nerveess. Upon this, his energy, and success
depend.
Now what should be the conduct and feeling of
| our people? We know of but one answer, 10
improve the present, and trust the future. Is it
not vastly better to work while we can, and If
necessary, prepare for the storm now, than to
give up to its influence before it has appeared on
the horizon?
We are ourselves disposed to believe that an
over-ruiing Providence will so temper the tur-
bulence and disorder of our affairs as will yet give
us peaceful and happy land. Passion, excite
ment, i-wiIl are short-lved, and reason, gentle
ness and fraternity of feeling must come IN time
Let US not anticipate to the contrary .-Ne~ber"

NATIONAL EXPRESS CoMPANy.-A meeting Of
the Stockholders of this. Company was held in
Richmond, on Monday and Tuesday last. The
proposition to unite the National with the Mer
chants Union Express Co. had been rejected by
the latter. An exhibit of the accounts Of the
National showed that owing to the small amount
of the stock paid in and the unfortunate man.
agement of its affairs, the Company had sunk
more than the amount invested, yet the concu-
sion was that reduction of the capital to 40 per
cent of the original stock, and the full payment
of that amount, including what had been paid
into the Treasury, would pay its debts and enable
the Company to resume business with better pros
poets OF success. The Company was re-organized
by the election of hew Board and the Presidency
of the Company was offered to MIR Perot, Of
Baltimore. The operations of the Company are
to be suspended for the present, to be revived in

ally rests on chalk, or limestone, both being
conditions very favorable to-this growth. Then
they keep the same lawn not from year to year,
but rather from century to century, undisturbed
except BY the hand of the mower and the pres
sure of the roller. One gentleman whom l re-
ceatly visited told me that a lawn on which l
had just been walking, had been used tor that
purpose only, SO far as he could learn, from the
days of King John. 1t is time then and Guilt
walton, as we'll as weeping sky, and ealca-
reous soil, which gives to England its peculiarly
rich and beautiful turf.
But to return to our English country gentle
man. His house is usually of stone, large, often
irregularly built, generally old, and the more
valued for being So so that lately heard one
who was a good deal more than mere country
gentleman complain rather bitterly of his grand
father as having foolishIy pulled down house
of i'm memorial antiquity, to build new one In
its stead The furniture Of these houses appear
to me quite plain, compared with that OF people
of corresponding wealth in own country
But they always have one ornament which they
value highly, that is, pictures, portraits of their
ancestors and works of.art executed by eminent
painters of their own country, or masterpieces
of continental artists and costing usually very
large sums to the purchaser, whether OF the
present or of a past generation They keep too
| more servants imam is uSual Win us, even WIFI
the fortune, and they certainly have the
finest and handsomest houses have ever seen.
! With homes, then, having so many comforts,
and with country SO prosperous, and means Of
intercommunc cation so perfect, that pleasant
society is accessible everywhere, it is no wonder
that the English delight in country life. 1t
is pity that SO few of them can enjoy it; mil
lions know nothing of trees, and grass and lux
uries, except what they see in the Parks and
squares of London and other great cities. In
deed, in this respect as in many others, clouds
seem to me to be gathering over and beginning
to darken this land, now beautiful, so free, so
prosperous The agricultural element is dwind-
ling in proportion to the general population
London and the other cities swelling out in
every direction, so as to threaten to cover the
whole country. Now the population of great
city is, believe, in every respect, inferior to
that Of the country They are smaller, feebler,
have less stern enduring courage, and at the
same time are more passionate and excitable -
believe that an English army would not be
now as formidable to that of another nation, as
it was at Crecy, at Blenheim, or at Waterloo
An urban population is at the same time more
unruly than rural one.
| The Hyde Park riots last summer indicated
pretty plainly the lawless temper of London
mob, and the timid policy Of the ministry, who
real y gave up for several days, the property Of
the government into the hands of the populace,
augured ill for the future tranquility of the great
metropolis.
But l must now close this long letter
| Yours truly, Thomas ATKINSON.
