Several months after the close of the
war a tin box was given to Gen. Spin
ner, Treasurer of the United States, by
Mr.. Stanton, then Secretary of War, for
safe keeping The box was said to con
tim about $4,000 in gold, and Mr..
Spinner carefully locked it away in the
vaults of the Treasury. About year
ago n certain national bank suspended,
with a heavy Indebtedness to the Gov
ernment. A United States Quarterm as
ter who had got into trouble in his Off
cial capacity was indebted to this bank
in the sum Of $4,000, and the box de-
posted with Spinner was said to con
tain that amount of money belonging to
said Quartermaster. The bank engaged
the services Of an eminent lawyer Of New
York City as its attorney, and he i'm,
mediately began proceedings to have
the box opened and the money TAX en-
out and paid over to the Government to
liquidate part of the banks indebted

f,r more than year to accomplish his
object. but it was not until that
success attended, his efforts. He had

GEN. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.

We find the following communication
in the New York Tribune, which paper,
in an editorial calling the attention of
its readers to it, says:
"Many of our older readers will thank
us for giving place in these columns to
a ,indication of our departed President.
Gen. William Henry Harrison, hy his
companion in arms. life long friend and
admirer. Col. c. S. Todd, of Kentucky.
who was selected by Gen Harrison as
ambassador to Russia The errors
which Col Todd corrects were unin-
tended, but not therefore less injurious
Gen. Fl arrison's honest fame is one of
his country's treasures; she will not
permit it to lie dimmed. even needless
ly, and Col. Todd's vindication is tri-
umphant. ao#
We shall crafty many of his compat-
riots in the canvass of 1910 by stating
that Col. Todd, though surrounded by
devotees of "The Lost Cause" is an
earnest Republican, and gave Jealous
support to Grant and ColfaX in our late
struggle the stress Of which constrain
ed us to defer for weeks. the publishing

Early Printers.

The first printers were Titans, and
they performed Titanic work. They

plodding artizans. They were, what in.

new power which printing had intro

s'-iousness that they were iaboring for
the illumination aud improvement of
the species. And they caught the in

addressed themselves to their work with
the hearts of heroes, and in the spirit

printing press, to found his own types,
and manufacture his own ink. He was

money was necessarily great. Some

wedne day Morning. April 49, 1853
We were visited by regular old-fashioned rain
Yesterday morning. At O'Clock q heavy gale
came up from the westward bringing with i
clouds pregnant with rain. In a few moments
they let themselves loose upon in torrents, and
kept il I'D till 10 O'Clock. From that hour to the
present writing the skies have been cloudless, and
old Sol, apparently angry at having been cheated
out of a few hours, beamed down npon rs, causing
Precipitation to flow freely and shelter 10 be sought
by all persons upon the levee, excepting the
freedmen. who seemed, algator-like, to glory in
baking in his rays.
Notwithstanding the weather pretty fair days
business was transacted upon the steamboat land
ing yesterday. Several packets were receiving,
and, taking all things into consideration, thsy
were doing very well.
Since the election the Black Crook brigade has
fallen of considerably, and the remaining force
seems willing TO go to work.
The river before the city continues to rise
slowly; it was two feet three inches below high
water mark ~ dark last evening.

We hope to see the Mite at the wharf in few
days, aud TO find not only the boat, but friend
Eppler " all right"
News items are becoming intolerably scarce on
the wharf. There has not been a steamboat fire
for several days. We believe that the locked
safety valves were invented purposely to save
river news reporters the pain and trouble of record
ing another explosion, etc. few more patent
inventions, and We fear that our occupation will
be like Othelo's.
The regular packet Grey Eagle, Capt. Baranco,
leaves al P. N. to-day for Bayou Sara and inter-
mediate landings on the coast. Mr.. Leo Bayhi is
her polite and attentive clerk.
The famous Wild Wagner, under command of
the well known and ever popular Capt. W. B.

The general trade of the city has undergone
no material alteration since the date of our last
review. Operations in the leading staple have
been limited and irregular. Sales Of Sugar, Mo
lasses and Tobacco were light. Provisions were
inactive but firm. Breadstufs continued dull and
Dropping Money was abundant throughout.
Foreign Exchange was dealt in to a moderate ex.
tent at varying figures, and Domestic Exchange
was quiet and steady at about previous rates.
CoTToS-The market has presented but little
for special remark during the past three days. On
Saturday and Monday 1t was slightly firmer under
encouraging advices from Liverpool and New
York, but il has since relapsed, owing to an un'
favorable reaction in the European and Northern
markets, as viii be seen by the appended synop-
sis OF the daily movement:
Saturday, April 25.--The market has been
very much excited to-day under the adVices
from Liverpool and New York. Factors and
holders here have realized a further advance
of fully &c. u 10. upon all classidcations. and
the upward tendency has been checked only
by the very limited character OF the supply. The
total sales, however, reached $500 bales, and the
market closed stiff.
Monday, Apra 27.-The market has been
steady and firm 10 day, but without any
change in prices. The morning kilograms
caused holders to ask advanced figures, bat
on the receipt Of subsequent dispatches
they freely accepted Saturdays quotations.
The supply was light and undesirable through
out. and the demand, which was fairly active
from the opening to the close of business, re-
suited in sales of $500 bales.
Tuesday, April 2S.-With advices OF an unfa.
vorable reaction at Liverpool and New York. the
movement to-day has been partially suspended
and rates of all descriptions have slightly de-
clined. offerings were light throughout, how
ever and as most factors refused 70 accept offer
ing prices. operations we're restricted TO 450 bales
at the following nominal quotations, viz: Good
ordinary, 30s@-c. low middling, 3ltc.; and
middling sac. The total sales f0rthe past three
days amounted TO 6450 bales against 1900 bales for
the corresponding days last week. The net re-
cepts footed up but 1920 bales against 1854 bales
last week. The aggregate exports were zoos
bales against 94l3 bales last week, and the stock
on hand and on shipboard not cleared this evening
Is Sc ais bales against "a 722 bales Friday evening

days comprised 50 bales coastgise, and 20l6 bales
