THE BANK OF ENGLAND FEELING
THE WAR PRESSURE.

We learn by telegram from London
that the officers of the bank of England
have announced further advance in
the rate of discounts of one per cent.
The minimum rate is now six per cent
The barometer does not indicate more
surely the sudden changes ofweather or
the coming storm than does the bank of
England the financial disturbance and
apprehension of approaching disasters
in Great Britain. The war between
France and Prussia, and the complica-
tons growing out of it, have alarmed
the bank authorities. Looking, too, at
the extraordinary preparations of Eng
land to place herself on war footing,
with the tone of public sentiment and
the language oft the leaders of all parties
in Parliament, it is not unhkel y that the
bank has received hint from he Gov
crnmcnt to be ready for crisis. At
such time as this there is a tendency
to draw away the specie of the bank.
The demand for it abroad, and the hur-
ried rush of timid people to get hold of
it for the purpose of boarding against an
evil day, would soon bring the specie
reserve down to a very low cbb if the
Bank were rot to take precautionary
measures to prevent it. Raising the
rate Of discount is always the first step
putting on the screws, as it is called-to
prevent drain of specie. Six per cent
as the minimum is high rate OF DIS
count in England, and it rarely goes up
to that except in times of war or great
commercial crisis. 1t is evident, there
fore, that there is serious apprehension
in England that she cannot be kept out
Of the war. 1t is probable that the rate
Of discount will be raised still higher
We should not be surprised to hear with
in week that it has gone up to seven
per cent; unless something remarkable
and unexpected should occur to indicate
determined neutrality on the part of
Great Britain or the prospect of the war
not spreading. We do not apprehend
that the action of the Bank of England
will have any serious or lasting effect
upon the financial affairs of this country.
1t might cause temporary depression
in our bonds and stocks abroad, but this
would not continue long. While we re-
main ct peace and so on in our wonder
ful career Of prosperity there need be no
fear that tbs credit OF the country will
remain depressed whatever events may
happen il Europe n I. Herald.

ensN3Qncluding Vc

ION the late war; we copy the- IoI-
lowing paragraph on the character of
the work
In the first volume Of his work Mr..
Stephens confined himself entirely to a
discussion of the causes which led to the
secession of the South. In the Volume
now before us, he narrates The story Of
the War, giving especial emphasize the
action of the government of the Confed-
eracy, or to what may be called its con-
fidential history. His account of the
important conference at Hampton Roads
between President Lincoln and the Con-
federate Commissioners, is one of the
most valuable additions to the literature
of the War, and is in itself worth the
price Of the entire work. The vexed
question of the non exchange of Priso-
ners of War has much new light shed
upon it, and tho peace movements in
the South are thoroughly explained. -
The fact that the first volume, which
was but the introduction to the history
of War, commanded sale of over CO.,
600 copies, fully warrants the assertion
that this volume, which is not mere
discussion of principles, but a living,
breathing narrative of the events of the
greatest struggle of modern times, by
ono Of the most important actors in it,,
will reach a sale unprecedented in this
country. No minded, unprecedented
person can afford to be without this
book. 1t is the oGciaI history on the
Southern side, and must hold in the lit
erature of the War even higher place
than is accorded to Mr.. Greeley's Inner
lean Conflict 1t will occupy in our his
tory the place that is given to Napoleon's
Memoirs in the literature of the French
Empire. 1t is like that work the last
production Of its gifted author, and is
entitled to all the weight which attaches
to the high character of great leader
presenting to the world the story of his
cause in vindication of it. The book is
sold by subscription only, and agents
are wanted in every county.
Mr.. b. LowREY is the Agent for the
sale of this book at this place.

TRUE CONDITION OF THE COUNTY.

Z Kirk:
TRUE CONDITION OF THE COUNTY.
With the exception of the Stephens
tragedy there have been only two MUIR
doris since 1860. Two murders in ten
years. What county in the North can show
better record. The sheriff, now incar-
cerated by Kirk, has frequently told me
that he never experienced the slightest
difficulty in making an arrest, and he
informed the officer commanding the
United States troops sent here to assist
him in enforcing the civil law that he
could arrest any man in Carswell coun-
ty by sending him a note telling him
hat bo was wanted. have asked
these questions of a great many negroes :;
Have YOU ever been molcstedH Do you
know any negro who has been molcstedG
Have YOU ever seen Ku Kluxl The
answer in all cases and TO every ques-
tion has been no. The United States
troops were received politely, even cor
dially, some time before Kirk and his
iawhawkers came, the prominent gentle
men being glad of an opportunity to
nrove to disintercsted strangers and fair
minded men how foully they have been
Slandered.
1t is unnecessary again to discuss the
Stephens tragedy at length but there
are many impossibiitics in the hypoth-
csis that he was killed by political oppo-
nents. Even ifa Conservative commit
ted the crime it was much more likely
to have been an act of private revenge !;
for this invaluable martyr was an inccn-
diary and thief, having confessed in
open court to abstracting chickens, and
compromised by paying the value of
the fowls, earning the SoaJriquct of
Chicken Stephens" with which naugh-
ty boys, not having the fear of Holden
before their eyes, and also not forc-scc-
ing the terrible Kirk, were wont to hail
This apostle of loyal leagues that a
