WEEKLY REVIEW,

There is a continued good demand for
money, md our Banks are unable to re-
spond fully to the wants of customers.
Currency is very close, although the Ex-
press Companies are kept busy bringing In
daily supplies ordered from New York and
Cincinnati. In a week or two there will be
a return of money, now flowing into the
rural districts, TO relieve the present strin-
gency. Rates remain firm at II per cent.
New YORK Exchange is in good supply
and rates nominal, ranging from par to
81 so per $1,000 premium, according to
amounts wanted.
Gold has stifened somewhat. Buying
rates III.

Many able American statesmen regard
the present situation of the country, po-
litically. as n full Of danger to liberty
and peace. johnson has removed nearly
all those officers who had found favor
with the loyal people and e~ngendered
the hate Of rebels for the faithful execu-
lion Of the law providing for the recon
slruction of the late rebel States; he
is doing al in his power to render laws
Of Congress imperative against rebels
and to delay reconstruction be is said
to be intoxicated the greater portion of
his time, a burning disgrace to the ma
ton. The rebels Of Maryland are arm
ing as fast as possible, and the copper
head press Of the north are proclalming
that actual, bloody war will follow any
attempt of Congress TO interfere with
our rebel Presidents programme. Gen,
Grant has proved himself no statesmen
may we never have occasion to doubt
his PatrlOiism-by accepting the po-
sitiOn made vacant by the removal Of
Sec. Stanton, which was really the en-,
lering wedge 10 the present deplorable
state of affairs.
Under all these circumstance we do
not apprehend serious trouble. The
President, if he persist in his pres
ent course, viii surely be impeached a,
the next session of Congress. About
that time rebels may make an attempt to
usurp the Government by backing John.
son, and if 50, they will be whipped, and

Hon. Jonas Hacker, has been very SICK
during the past two weeks, even nigh
unto death, and the regular proceedings
in bis Office have been somewhat disturb
ed in consequence. When first taken
he had a Deputy engaged in the Office
who understood the booss well and could
attend 10 all the business. This Deputy
concluded about a week since to quit,
leaving the Office closed, and the Treas
urer unable TO inslrucs any . IN the
books; since which lime T. c. Hacker
has had charge Of the Office. Yet, as
fate seemed determined TO close the
Office, T. C. Hacker was emPannelled on
the Petit Jury last Monday.
We have never had q County Treas

We have just returned from a visit tc

Twenty acres OF ground have been

The ground is beautiful. level bottom
and is as fine a site as could be secured

long, 10 display the small household and
other articles that have to be housed tc

supposed. of containing all the kinds Of
articles above named and leaving aban.

-Four hundred stalls are being built,
and Will be prepared for the reception OF
all kinds of stock in time for the Fair,

stalls should not be sufficient, arrange

A Soldiers BnTial.-To morrow,
Thursday, August 29,h, the remains of
Merit B Slocum will be committed to
their final resting place in FOrty-FOr
Cemetry, from the house CT his father
Mr.. Thomas Slocum, in Kingston, with
military honors.
Merit b. Slocum was acting Sergean,
Major in the lSt Nebraska Cavalry. a
detachment of which with the 54th Hi
nois Infantry, were on duly al Grand
Prairie, Arkansas, 9th August, 1864,
when our troops there had several battles
with the overwhelming forces of the reb-
els. Mr.. SlocUm was taken prisoner
with the remains Of The detachment af-
ter the fight, and on the retreat of the
enemy btfore reinforcemeDIs Of the
Union army he was taken sick with
chiIls from which be had been suffering
several days before. Tie rebels, part Of
Shelty's command cursed him and drove
him on after he had fallen exhausted
They gave him a horse. and a ComTade
thus writes:
Il was ordered on and a horse was
brought him to ride, and / supposed that
all was right. About an hour afterwards
a man named Graham. came to me and
told me that the rehs had shot Slocum."
1t seems that the fever was on him,
and they kept cursing him that be did
net ride TO suit them. threatening to
shoot him, &c. He finally lore open his
shirt, and told them to shoot. One reb,
asked, Captain shall | shoot the son of
a ID" The reply was eyes d.
him. shoot him"
The villain fired, and your poor son
fell dead, shot through the breast"
This was near the farm Of a Mr.. Bulls,
who has since kindly aided Mr.. Slocum
in recovering the bones of bis son. He
was % years old the February before
bis death.
The rebels are the men who now do
loudly demand their rights. Let them
have justice.
We copy the above from the Record Of
the Times, published at Wilks-Barre Pa
Sergeant Slocum was captured with the
detachment of Lieut.. Pollock, Of this city,
who Knew him well as a brave and fear
less soldier. The above is bat another
link in The cllain that binds the rebel
cause, and its Northern sympalhizers, 10
