NEW oRlsANs, March 7. 1868.

NEW ORLEANS, March 7. 1868.
To the Citizens Of New Orleans:
The recent depreciation OF our city currency
has caused great suffering among the poor and
laboring classes Of our people, and has also
seriously inconvenienced the retail trade Of the
city, especially in the public markets. This gives
me great solicitude, and calls forth this my pro-
clsmation. And hereby solemnly express the
opinion that there is no good cause for this de-
probation Of our city notes and for the alarm
which has been thereby created. A few plain
facts will justify my assertion: The total indebt
edness of the city of New wOrlesns is. in round num-
bers, only fourteen millions Of dollars, which is
less than that of any other city Of its size in the
United States. This fourteen millions includes
the amount Of city currency now in circulation,
which is only about four millions Of dollars, show
ing reduction of half q million since Novem-
Der /, 1867.
Now for the security OF this four millions Of
dollars every house, store, and foot of land within
the corporate limits of New Orleans, amounting
ing to assessmenf stands Bsd&sed & for the redsmp-
tion of the same, and the city treasurer informs
me that the amount in circulation is being rapidly
reduced, and not increased, as has been falsely
stated. nft
Inc causes OF the present depreciation OF the
city currency are not difficult to determine. Il Is
well known to me that class Of designing men.
who have been disappointed in their political aspi
rations have sought to injure the city credit aud
thereby bring the present city government into
disrspute, and who are resolved to ruin the city
they cannot rule 1t. Nor can the fact be disguised
that those designing men have worked upon the
fears Of our marketmen and retail merchants to
accomplish their wicked purpose against the poor.
II is also equally true that there Is large class Of
men in every city whose business II is to promote
fluctuations in the currency thereof, and who
snass thereby great wealth. Nor can | refrain
from the expression Of opinion that the recent re-
pudiation of State by military order has had
q depressing effect upon the finances of our city,
and created the fear that similar order might
follow as TO the city currency but In which fear
do not share. And am informed that the gas
company, cotton presses, founderies, etc.. de-
msnd national currency for What they DO, but pay
their employees in the city notes, which they pur-
chase at a large discount.
Having glanced at some Of the principal causes
Of present financial difficulty, ] now assure the
good people of New Orleans that the finance COM
mittees Of both branches Of the Common Council
are maturing a plan to relieve our present en-
bsrrassment, and now call upon all merchants
grocers. and marketmen who are willing TO aid in
the laudabe work by receiving the city notes at
par 10 inform me of the fact, and will officially
announce the same TO the public.

day. The report on education passed lis second
reading by strict party vote. IL opens the Uni

Ii compels all persons TO send their children to
a public school for sixteen months. between the
ages of five and eighteen years, who are not able

RALEIGH N c., March THE convention,

rFsom the worcsster CMass, Spy. Feb. 2i.l

IFrom the Worcester CNass) Spy, Feb. 2i.l
The much talked of long race from Boston TO
Worcester, between the horses Empire State, OF
this city, and Iganhoe, Of Boston, came oil on
Saturday and, as the result shows, was one OF the
most extraordinary and cruel that has ever taken
place in this country. The terms of the match
were to trot from the Mill Dam, Boston, TO W0r.
cester, for $400 a side, each horse to carry four
hundred pounds, sleighs or wheels, rain or shine,
play or pay. Owing to the bad condition Of the
road at the Mil Dam, the start was effected from
the Charles River Hotel, In Brighton. Both horses
were attached to sleighs. Empire State was
by William A. Eager, his hacker, both of this
city. The word was given to go at l0:46 o'clock,
and both started of at moderate gait, with En-
pire State leading. From Brighton 10 Watertown
the road was bad, the sleighing having worn away
TO bare ground, and progress was necessarily i'm
peded. At Watertown the sleghing became
good, and Empire State was still leading about
fifteen rods, under strong and steady pull. He
then commenced the long and powerful stroke
for which he is noted, and trotted with clock
work precision up hill and down, drawing his
heavy load behind him with apparent ease, and
trotted so well within himself that be was not
allowed to go as he pleased until Northboro was
reached at 1897.
The distance thus far Travelled was % miles, and
the time one hour and 81 minutes, nearly four
minutes to the mile. A rest OF seven minutes was
here taken, and Cruel, wine, water aud hay offered
the horse, but he refused, and was with difficulty
head he seemed to be possessed, and trotted mile
after mile at a three minute gait, and all the time
within himself and under q steady pull. This he
kept up until he reached Long Pond, where he
stopped trottng and walkedin the city, arriving
at Washington Square at l:lS o'clock, having come
the last ten miles in IS minutes, and the whole
distance, 3s miles. in two hours and 80 minutes,
which is little less than a mile in four minutes
for the whole distance.
Soon after his arrival the horse became sick,
and although every effort was made TO save him,
the over driving killed him, and he died at mid
night Of spasmodic collie. Ivanhoe, his competi-
ter, was last seen at Waterfowl, but arrived at
Northboro long after the winner had left, and
finding it of no use to follow, his driver wisely
withdrew from the race and put up the horse.
| Empire State. the winner, was one fourth
thoroughbred, l6 hands inch high, weighed 1850
pounds, 10 years old, and light bay color. He
was raised in Kentucky, and at one time
was owned by Dan Mace, and called the

fatal race is without parallel for speed. powers

RIOT BETWEEN GERMAN AND IRISH EMIG RASrs.-
About balf-past eight o'clock A. NJ, on the 5th,
riot broke ont among the emigrants on Wards
Island, New York. which. but for the timely in
reference of police would have ended in terrible
bloodshed. Bad feeling has for some time existed
between German and Irish emigrsnts which today
eliminated In an attack Of about seven hundred Of
the latter upon their enemies, who had also put
themselves into a sort Of army array. The Irish
men seized on s,itch-forks, clubs, axes. ice-cut-
ter's, long poles with sharp iron points aud even
broke an iron rake TO obtain the teeth asweapons
the Germans barricaded themselves in the base
ment OF the hospital building. The light was get
ting cutie fierce when an armed force Of police
interfered and quelled the row, though not until
thew had shot down four of the belligerents.
Eighteen Of the rioters were wounded seriously.
