Singular Inci.aent Of the war.

In one OF Stonewall Jacksons periodical at
tacks upon Winchester. on his way down the
glorious old Valley of Virginia, Captain Dave
Workman, a brave and gallant officer Of the 9th
Louisiana regiment who subsequently lost his
life in the shadow of the Blue Ridge, was
wounded in tho body, painfully. bat not danger
ously. On the capture of the town he was re-
moved from the field to large hospital, estab-
lished by the enemy, and in company with many
Federal soldiers, wounded in the attack, waited,
with such patience as he could muster, his turn
for attendance from the over-worked surgeons.
The groans Of the wounded and dying. and the
misery OF stiffening, addressed wound, length
ened the tedious night, but midst il all, Captain
Workman was struck with the stoicism of stall
wart Yankee, occupying an adjoining cot, who
was evidently mortally wounded, but whose tor
ture failed to wiring q murmur from his lips.
Day broke at last, and with it came one of the
captains company to inquire after his welfare.
Approaching his cot he addressed him by name,
but was interrupted by the Yankee next to
Workman, over whose eye the glaze Of death
seemed setting. Rousing himself, and with great
effort raising his head, he said:
Are you Capt. Workman ?
Yes.
Capt. Dave Workman, of the Ninth Louisiana
regiment
Well, then have something for you. Two
weeks ago my captain was mortally wounded.
Calling me to his side, in the midst OF the fight,
be gave me this package, with instructions to
send it across the lines the first chance. didn't
think, continued he with a wan smile, / would
be able to deliver it 50 soon in person; but here
it is.
And your captain, who was he ?
Your brother, Capt. James Workman, of the
Ninth New York Cavalry
And with gasp the faithful fellow, as if he
had only lived to fulfill his PROMISE fell back on
his pallet and died.

The Financial Chronicle, after enumeratIng the
complaints first, that the national banks make too
much profit on their circulation and second, that
the distribution OF the privilege among the different
States is an unjust one says
Just now, however. the troubles In Wall street
give greater prominence to the third set OF charges
ring stringency IN the money market. The derange-
ment that these financial spasms produce In tie
business or the country, the loss which they innct
upon individuals, the depression they force on our
industrial interests the frequent checks they give to
the development OF our productive powers and the
would be certain safeguard against such disgrace.
lul disturbances OF the financial equilIDrium-all
these motives combine TO create dissatisfaction with
our banks which may hereafter prove dangerous TO
the permanency OF some at least Of their valuable
franchises. What changes are useful TO correct
this tendency to alternate stringency and ex-
cesslve ease we do not undertake TO say. 1t
would, however, be easy to show that a
valuable tonic Tor preventing this succession
OF excitement and depression, OF fever and chill,
would be the enforced redemption OF all bank notes
at New York. This remedy, however, has always
been opposed by the combined force of the national
banks whenever 1t has been proposed in Congress.
From what has been said one or two inferences for
the practical guidance OF legislation sufficiently
evident First, that much more radical measures of
bank reform are necessary than are contemplated III
any OF the bills before Congress at present. sec
ond, that a Congressional committee may with ad-
vantage be appointed to inquire into the relations OF
tne DankS with the money market, and especially
into the reports that certain banks help to eXagger
ate the periodical stringency which now and then
recurs, In order that they may gam larger profits.
These points OF vital INTEREST," they press
mediate solution. Many other measures OF banking
reform can wait their time, and can, indeed, he
better dealt with afterwards.
