The report of tho condition OF tho Canal
Bank OF New Orleans is most satisfactory-
to the stockholders. That well-managed
institution shows on hand nearly S200, 600
in exchange at par, over $l9, 600 in gold, and
3622,O79 in loyal tenders, besides notes and
bills discounted to the amount Of 81 ,32l ,377;
making q grand total of resources, not in
Guiding other enumerated itcms, of over
two millions of dollars, over two thirds Of
which is available for immediate use.
It is strange, that, in the face of this show
ing, the Picayune should soy that tho
amount of currency in New Orleans, at this
time, is only about two millions Of dollars.
Two banks alone have shown that they
have over one million in money in their
keeping. But 1t may DO urged that this
money is subject to the demands of individ-
ual depositors who will draw it out upon
the resumption of currency payments by
the banks. This argument implies that the
money must be kept out OF circulation.
But is 1t withdrawn entirely from circula-
tionS Are not the banks using tho money
Of depositors to buy exchange, and discount
paper Z II they are, rs we believe, by what
right do the banks use other peoples money,
against their consent, to enrich their stock
holtlersf If chartered institutions receive
money on deposit to return on demand, 1t
would be eminentlyjust and proper to return
this money whom the depositor needs it
most and when the country is struggling to
pay It's indebtedness; In other words, to
put the money in the channel of circulation
at the exact period when y circulating me-
dunn Is most required. The banks of New
Orlenn. may take either horn of tho dilem-
ma they choose: If they lock up their
money they are impeding and obstruc:inS
trade and cranlping tho industries !; il they
arc putting 1t In circulation, to enhance
their dividends, they arc not dealing fairly
by their depositors and not fulfilling their
obligations to the country.
Another item, in the commerce OF New
Orleans attracts our attention, and that is
tho fact that, after all the complaints made
against the producers OF Withholding their
cotton this year, last Saturdays cotton
statcalont shows that, up to that day, 2o7,-
8l5baaes OF this crop have been received in
New Orleans, against a75 ,27o bales last wear
at tho same day. A difference of 10000
bales is easily accounted for by the lateness
ofthis yours season, and by the probable
decrease In this years crop. But taking
1871, and We hnd that New Orleans reccived
nearly 10000 less that year, for tho Same
period, than 1t has this year
These two hundred Thousand bales. mai.
ing all reasonable deductions, ought to re.
present at least four millions of dollars that
the country has already contributed "to
move commerce" in Now Orleans. With
this amount of money, and with that hold
by tho banks, not loss than four millions
moro, the commerce OF New Orleans ought
to be- moving, not to say unything of the
sums held by brokers, specuIaters and
others, which would swell tho total to Mt

The friends Of tho late Judge Crawford
must fell mortified ut the publication of
the letters of Mrs. Crawford to Attorney
Central Williams. In what unreasoning
moment, or by whose wofnlly ill-conceived
counsel, Mrs. Crawford told Mr.. Williams
that she would be murdered, it would be
hard to tell. We regret most profoundly
that Mrs. G. did not receive better advice,
or, ut least, that MIR. Williams ia SO bitterly
partisan to have made her letter---a
waman's letter-public to the world

The Now York Ledger claims to have
found the Oldest horse in America, and
gives his age at thirty-five years. Col.
Stockton, of Quincy, Florida,is working
a horse in his stage that he has owned

this best friend Of man he was beyond
the age often. He is still vigorous and
promises to live many years, and is high

MRS. GEN. LEE AND ARLINGTON.

New York World, l4th inst.1
There are few modern incidents more
full of simple pathos than the quiet
visit which Mrs. Mary Gusts Lee paid
to her old homestead Of Arlington about
three weeks before her death. Mrs.
Lee had not put in words her longing
for the place endeared to her by SO
many bright associations. During the
Generals lifetime she said not word
about her confscated estate, and after
his death she did no more than consent
that n modest petition should be sent
up to Congress asking that the judy
ment which deprived her of her ancient
home for no fault of her own, should
Mt any rate be examined into, even if
it could not be revised. It was thought
she took tn step for the good of her
children, and not because she had any
personal feeling in the matter. But
when she felt the hand Of death begin
to tighten upon her she painfully left
the seclusion to which ten years of
rheumatic fever had confined her,
slowly and with sad interest revisited
the old homestead and the scenes of
her youth and womanhood, gazed upon
that which she had loved SO well and
longed for in silence and resignation,
and then went quietly back to Lexing-
ton to die. 1t will add pang to the
sense Of loss which her friends have for
the gracious lady, Of such nobility Of
character and patience in affliction, to
feel that to her other griefs was joined
this unavailing yearning for the old
home she could not come back to-a
yearning not put in words nor suspected
until expressed by that most pathetic
leavetaking on the eve of death.

wur ON the Brain.

Intelligence reaches this Office, no matter
how, that the government Of Spain, having
been apprized of tho recent speeches made
arie and Lewis. and by Judge Aleck Walk
or, Messrs. McCaleb, Dalsheimer and 9TH
ers, and also of tho fact that Caesar Antoine
had formerly proclaimed war on Spain
with the Ozark to back him, which vessel
was thought to be getting in readiness to
embark for Cuban waters), has incontinen-
tally abandoned all its former pretensions,
and is ready to surrender, without terms,
to such a formidable array OF force on the
part OF New Orleans.
We have to regret that Spain proceeded
SO precipitously in this matter, aud did not
wait until the OuACHrTA TELEaRAPH was
heard from. It il we'll known that the
tTELReRAPH, although not Spanish organ,
has, nevertheless, SO far reprobated war
! with Spain in behalf of Cuba, as to insist
that the warriors Of the South, and especial
1 ly the new-fedged champions of the tina
TONS honor" and the country,s alag" have
close at home q field for tho exhibition of
their prowess as warriors, and people to
struggle for, whose expressions, wrongs
and insults are daily seen and felt, where
and for whom all their exuberancy of war
like qualities may be appropriately and
manfuly exercised. The apostles of uni
versal freedom in New Orleans, as we'll as
those gladiators who talk SO hippantly OF
| war, the loss Of trade, the decline of cotton
and the rise in breadstufis, iron, &C., have
forgotten tho skeleton in the closet at home.

The captain of the Arepilas informed
a reporter yesterday that he had re-
ceived orders from the home govern
nent to get ready for sea at the earliest
moment possible and proceed to Cuba.
He expects his vessel to be out of the
dry dock In twenty days, when nothing
to take her powder and armament. Her
powder is now in the yard magazine,
and her guns, which are OF the ARM
strong pattern and are much praised by
the yard officials, are on Cob dock.
The executive officers Of the Arapiles
believe that in addition to the feet
now in the West Indian squadron there
could be put in Cuban waters within
the time specified at least ten first-class
frigates, each of about 5000 tons register
and carrying twenty-four guns. Aside
from these the Spanish Cuban feet
will, within u month, consist Of the
Arapiles, 5000 tons register and seven
teen guns the Pizarro, 1000 tons regis
ter, and five guns the Blazco, Vasco,
Nunez Herau, Cortez, st. Lucia, Isabel
and Alusia Francheesa and Aminaza,
all of the same size and armament as
the Pizarro and Corona, of 5000 tons
register and fifty-one guns. In addi-
ton to these should be mentioned
thirty gunboats, built in this city in
1859, each Of which carries one-hun-
bred pound gun and fifty men.

status Of the South American republics to
the, attention Of Congress. These resolu-
tions were strongly by Mr.. Forsyth,
of Georgia, who maintained his views, 1t is
said, with great ability, and the proposition
Of Mr.. Clay was defeated. t
It was not until 1922, four years later, and.
after . treaty had been made with Spain,
by which Florida was coded to the United
states,. that tho 1--we South American re-
publics were recognized. The independence
OF Mexico was recognized at the Same time /;
both, upon the Recommendation of Presi-
dent Monroe. The recognition, therefore,
was not .sprompt, rat all.
at this time; will be found in the action of
Con. jackson during his Indian war, whom.
the Spanish, authorities at st. Marks and
Pensaoola, received and harbored the In
dians who Were at war with this govern
mont. Gen. Jaclkson lorcibly took possess
sion OF the, fortihe 9panish towns and held
them by force until sufficient guarantees
were obtained that tho Indians would be
no longer protected by the Spanish author
tiles. Gen: Jackson proceeded upon tho
ground that Spain was either unable or un-
willing to enibrcea sobservanceo Of the laws
OF nations In F9orida, then Q Spanish pro-
vines. aud he claimed the rieht to- occupy
the two places nsmed in order to enforce
a just observance Of the rights OF this coun-
try: Ths places; seized were subsequently
evacuated by jackson and turned over to
Spain. Congress subsequently endorsed
Gem. Jackson'soourse.
Before our government had recognized
the sonth American republics, and while
the revolution was going on, some Anaeri-
can vessels were seized in South American
waters and the vessels and cargoes confis-
Gated. Our government demanded remu-
neration: Spain refused, on the ground
that she had never ceased to consider tho
republics, so-oallel, ~ her provinces. Our
government could only roply to this that
Spain had rnado reparation to Great Britain
for acts done under similar circumstances,
and Spain was forced to yield to her own
precedent. In the cessfon Of florida, the
United States agreed to pay five millions OF
dollars to her own sufferers from Spanish
seixures. It waa not until after this cession
that che United States recognized the FIVE
South American republics, which was at
least four years after the matter was first
agitated in Congress.
