On the night of the battle of Brandy

General Greene to Count Pulaski, a no.
bic P0lander, who took a prominent
part in our struggle for freedom. He
was quartered in a neat farm house,
near the upper forts. After our busi-
ness was finished the Count asked me
to take some refreshments, and at the
same time called out
MARY my lass, Mary -
In an instant, a rOsy-cheeked girl en-
tered, her face beaming with Joy, it
would seem at the very sound Of Pu-
laslzi's voice.
''Did you call me Count2" said the
maiden, timidly.

On the morning of the nth of Sep

purpose Of crossing Brandywine Greek

The Hessian General Knyphausen,
with a large force, advanced upon the
creek, and uniting with Lord Corvallis,
who commanded the left wing Of the
army, crossed at the upper ford of the
river and creek. 1t so happened that

a demon, on seeing the inaninabe form
Of Mary:

A little boy, who had not been noticed

The National Banks.

The Sanduslzy Register has q long and
very able argument against the prop.
osftion to substitute greenbacks fol
National Bank currency, with a view &c
saving the interest on the bonds depos-
tied by way OF security for such curren-
cy. The author thinks that immense
financial embarrassments would be
brought upon the country by this at
tempt to tinker with our banking sys-
tenn, and points out more safe and
easy means Of accomplishing the end
which it is proposed to attain by sub
situting greenbacks. He says;
There is a eommon-seuse method OF
settling this whole matter without doing
injury or injustice TO any. Let Congress
ascertain, by careful investigation, lust
what amount of taxation the national
banking business can stand and still
yield a fair return TO stockholders, then
Increase tGrdttO1l to that limit. The mo-
ment taxation becomes so extreme as to
compel the closing of banks, that mo-
ment it becomes hurtful to the country
and the people. The country needs
more instead Of less banking capital,
and any legislation which, either by
taking away the privilege of circulation
or by over-tazatiOn, forces the banks to
call in their loans and enter other fields
of fenterprise, thus decreasing bank cap
itaI and deranging business, cannot
possibly benefit the people or relieve
the treasury. There lis no antagOnism
of interests between the banks and the
people, and we hope to see none pro-
duced, for while in case of conflict the
banks would suffer some, the people
would suffer more Instead Of con-
vulsing trade and stopping business by
wiping out the circulation of the banks,
let the people compel the banks to pay
for the privilege Of issuing notes by
increased taxation. The result is the
same 90 the treasury, and far better for
the people. The banks themselves are
a Thermometer to cell how high taxation
may safely go, for when it goes too high
the banks win begin TO retire from
a business that is oYer-taxed.

for the benefit Of the one people Of
the nation, as against State rights
for the benefit of the Democratic
party.
1t insists upon prompt acquiescence
in the decision of the people at the
ballOt-box.
1t demands the maintenance inviO-
late of national faith as pledged TO the
nations creditors.
Tt requires a proper distribution Of
taxation that its burdens may fall
upon property equally.
And it insists upon economy In the
administration Of public affairs.
Its object in resisting the Democrat

Its object now is to restore and re-

DELAWARE OHIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER g. 1867

forty or eighty per cent. to the debt by
converting it into gold bonds OK con-
tracing the currency enough to get to
specie payment. This is the problem for
Congress to deal with. Il is not the
matter OF contraction of the currency
alone, but the expansion Of the debt.
For there is no other reason for prOlOng-
ing the currency imitation but to pay
the inflated currency debt. For every
purpose it is an evil. And if it is not
going to be made available to prevent
the consolidation Of this debt, the con-
traction ought to 90 on at the rate Of
four millions a month at the least. If
the currency is ever to be contracted, it
would be as foolish to stop it because it
pinches as to stop the amputatiOn Of
diseased leg because it hurts.
The keynote Of the financial policy
of Congress should be to stop at once
this rulnOus policy Of converting cur
rencY obligations into gold bonds.
Then it should devise temporary loans
to carry along the paper debt. Rates of
interest that many seem large VIII be
but a trifie compared with the increase
of the debt by converting It from cur
rency to gold bonds. When the rest Of
the currency obligations shall have
been paid, the currency notes may be
retired gradually by eanceling fixed
amount cut Of the revenue receipts. A
Secretary Of the Treasury devoted to
such q policy, could nave saved the cOu-
version Of every dollar since the war
closed. A secretary opposed to itcan now
defeat it IN the face OF Congress. If Con-
gress shall have the force to enter upon
this radical change from increasing the
public debt to reducing 1t, it must in
sist on the earnest cooperation Of the
Secretary, and it must arrange its COM
D1ittees for this policy. To appoint COM
mittees who viii work with Mr.. AICCul-
lough for his present system, and to
leave in his hands all the power that he
holds over the money market, is to pro-
vide a shameful defeat. But an increase
of the curre rency should not be
thought Of Any new imitation viii
prove that the country has not the sta
bility to suffer the pressure that is in
separable from a reduction of the cur
rency to specie. Tt viii destroy conf
dence in the currency, and viii be the
sure sign that the currency viii never
be retired except by a total collapse.

The SLAYER IN the broad lagoon
Lay moored with idle sail
he waited for the rising Lf10ou4
And for the evening gale
Under the shore his boat was tied,
And all her Hstless crew
Watched the gray alligator side
Into the still bayou
Odors Of orangs-howers, and spice,
Reached them from time to time,
Like airs that breathe froln Paradise
Upon q world Of crime.

The Slaver7s thumb was on the latch,
He seemed In haste 70 60.
He said. ssAIy ship at anchor rides
In yondsr broad lagoon;

And the rising Of the moon
Before them with her face upraised,
Like one hair curious. half amazed.
A QuadrOon maiden stood.
Her eyes were large, and fun Of Hight,
Her arms and neck were bana5
No garment she WOres save q Elrtle bright,
and her own long raven ha1r-
And On her lips there played smile
As holy meek and faint
As lights in some cathedral aisle,
The features OF q saint
f'The soil Is barTen,-the farm IS old -
The thoughtful planter said;
Then looked upon the SLAYER gold,
Then looked upon the maids
bis heart within him was at s.rIfe
With such accursed gains
Fer he knew whose passions gave her life,
Whose blood ran IN her veins.
But the voice OF nature was too weak
He took the glittering goldl
Then pale as death grew the E1aiden's cheek,
Her hands as icy cold.
The SLAYER led her from the daor,
He led her by the hand,
To be his slave and paranour
In q strange and distant land!

virginia Freedman On tie Election.

/ A freedman Of Richmond, Va, writes
US that none can regret more than the
/ members of his race that they were
compelled by their sense Of duty, in the
recent election, to vote in solid phalanX
l against the whites. But as it seemed to
\ the blacks that the question on which
/ they We're voting was whether they
! should ever have the chance to vote
/ again, it was absolutely impossible that
! they should vote away their own right
I to vote, He predicts that as soon as the
/ question Of right to vote is settled,
I which VIII be done by the vote ratify-
I ing the Constitution to be adopted by
/ the Convention, the black vote of Vir-
I gin1s viii be as diversified as the white
4 on al questions of State and National
4 policy. The blacks not only believe
Z but ardently pray that after the Cousti-
4 tuition IS formed, securing their rights
/ the blacks may never aaa1u be Obliged
I to vote as party together against the
! whites. As TO the candidates, he writes
! lin better spelling shan tVO-thirds OF
our Common Council or Board of Su-
/ pervisors would be competent to manu-
4 facturel as follows: 'The men who led
] the ticket of what was called the Con-
1 serv&tiVe party we're well known tn
/ Richmond, both by blaclzand white-and
Z known as gentlemen Of the highest or
der-and they had and Still have the re-
spect and high appreciation Of the coll
oFed men, as well as Of the white; but
/ they unfortunately happened to be up-
I on the wrong track. Hence the colored
men had to l0Ue them and JeGVe tbe85.-
! They looked like q fine team to 3 ine
1 coach. but going to the wrong hotel
Hence we could not take 0Gr seats in it.
/ While the men who led what is known
/ as the Radical party in Riohmond, even
/ ifthey was (Were) objectionable in some
Z respects, was (Were) known to approve
/ of the reconstruction acts, and hence
must be supported. They may have
I appeared to some as a very poor team
/ to an old shaC}ley coach, and travelling
I in the mud Gnd mire but they were
4 going the right way. Hence we took
! seats in the old concern, and put our
! shoulders TO the wheel, and pushed the
/ old thing along till we reached our des-
/ tination, And the passengers all went
I home without saying word to any
/ body, They did not send up one single
shout Of joy, as some people would
have done had they had the same sue
cess. But we thought it was best to
make no demonstration, as it might
hurt some ones feelings. And this is
all that has been done by the colOred
men of Richmond"
The only plan by which con6scation
in Virginia could commend itself to our
conscience, would be one by which the
land of the late masters might be dis
tributed so as to give from an acre to an
acre and half or two acres to each
freedman, while the sense and discre- /
ton of the freedmen should in some
way, as compensation therefor, be con-
fiscated, divided up and distributed
around so as to furnish from an ounce
to an ounce and half or two ounces of
brains to each CONSERVATIVE IN Z.

'IMPENDING SERyILE WAR. "A
Southern paper uses this startling
caption for its efforts TO frighten the
whites into violence against the ne
groes. The pro slavery mind always
regarded the freedom of the negro as a
state of servile war. As there are no
people in a state Of servitude, there
can be no impending seryile war And
if the blood thirsty wretehes who want
to precipitate a conflict with the blacks,
thinking the whites of the North and
the army viii join in exterminating
