From our repoat of the state of the
bank, it will be seen that we have on hand
$804, 466 of old issues of the bank. This
is about the amount collected since we
have had charge of the bank. Deducting
this amount from $3,629. LOG, the amount
appearing from the books of the bank to
have been issued prior to the 9th of May,
1861, will leave $2,s24 $40, which is the
amount of the old issue outstanding.
There is possibility that this large
amount of the old issue (sS04, ,466, now on
hand might be distracted and put into cir
culation again. The keeping of it i'm
poses a heavy responsibility upon the
Trustee, and he respectfully asks that aut
thority should be given to burn the same
from time to time, an accurate record
being kept of the amount and denomina-
tion ofthe notes burned

losses by the Tornado I'm Texas. etc

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The State De-
partment is informed that the amount of
the losses. by the tornado at Matamoras
in October, cannot he computed-fve mil
lions would he low estimate at least.
Six hundred houses have been destroyed,
including many valuable warehouses, con
tanning large stocks of goods. So far as
heard from the ranches are overthrOwn
down for thirty miles around Matamoras.
At the mouth of the river the destruction
was great, scarcely house is left standing
at all, all the river steamers we're wrecked
or disabled, except the Tamauli, which
was still serviceable. Considering the
great destruction of buildings the number
of casualties is not great, probably twenty
killed and forty or fifty more or less in
iured. Brownsville suffered equally with
Matsmoras, very few buildings being left
uniniured.

A ATerrIble NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


NEW YORK, Nov. l5.-The Herald's
Havana special says: AdVices from Porto
Rico to the 9TH inst. have been received.
A terrible hurricane had visited the north
ern portion of the Island, destroying all the
crops. Two hundred lives were lost, and
four thousand families are destitute. Pro-
visions were to be landed duty free for two
months.
Tortulla, one of the small British West
India Islands, between Virgin Mary and
st. Johns containing an erea of fortyreight
square miles, has been completely sub,
merged by the food following upon the
great gale of the 9TH inst, andit is reported
that several thousand lives have been lost.
Subscriptions have been opened in Havana
for the relief of the sufferers of st. Thomas.
The loss of the steamship company at
st. Thomas will amount to $l2 ,000, 600.
Some 500 bodies remaining unburied
have been buried on the island. News has
been received here from the republic Of
Hayti up to the ID inst. The news is i'm
porlant, as it shows the cause of General
MOntez, now confined in a dungeon at
Cape Haytian, has become universally pop
ular, probably owing 10 the reaction in
sentiment, caused by the recent riotous
proceedings at Port an Prince against the
members of the House of Assembly when
demanding of the government its reasons
for keeping him confined unconstitutional,
and without the benefit Of a trial or court
martial. They have been ordered to report
instantly for his trial on the accusation of
Havin, who headed revolt. The leading
GefIrardists have been expelled from the
republic.
Advices from Venezuela to the 25th nit,
have been received. The rebellion had
been quell ed, and the insurgents pardOned.
A new Cabinet had been formed.

NEGRO LABOR IN 1867.

The insolubility of the problem of the
value of the labor of the negro as a freed
man" is still perplexing our agricultural
friends. Each succeeding January seems
to increase the annoyances and troubles of
those who have to depend upon the proven
bal fickIeness and unreliability Of Cufee
The negro wakes up from his Christmas Or
gies in an exceedingly bewildeTed and
irFesolute condition. The demon of change
seems to take possession of nearly all of
them. Those who worked on shares last
year desire now to be employed by the
month, and those who have heretofore been
employed as day laborers have been sud
denly seized with an irrepressible desire to
rent a few acres Of barren land, build a
cabin Of unhewn logs, and set up for them
selves In many counties no contracts for
labor for the present year have yet been
made, the negro holding off while dollar
Of last years wages or profits remains un-
spent From the conflicting reports which
reach us from all portions of the State, we
utterly fail 10 gather any uniform or prac-
teal results.
In contiguous counties, where the wages
of labor are precisely the same, the conduct
of the freedmen has been as widely differ
ent as light from darkness. Indeed, upon
contiguous plantations, this difference has
been very marked. SO far rs our personal
| experience extends, the negro has worked
more faithfully and iudustriously as a freed
man than he ever did as a slave, but this
has not been the experience Of many Of ouT
| friends, and the vexed problem Of the value
/ ofthefreedman'sl labor at the commencement
| of 1867, is as difficult Of solution as it wss
two years ago. We think it very certain
that, with some exceptions, the freedmen
! have determined to ran the gauntlet of ex
/ periments before they will consent 10 com
mence work in good earnest in the rura
| districts.
