We learn that Mr.. Elkana Bush is dis
posing OF his mules in Georgia at fair prices
for cash, and will come out all right.
G. VI. 81. W. Givens, Of this county, ar
rived home from Mississippi last week, and
report the mule trade little better, hav-
ing sold all but few at fair cash prices. Mr..
Il. c. Harris has charge Of the few mules be-
longing to them still unsold.
We received day or two since a letter
from our friend J. q. Dickinson, written from
Northampton county, North Carolina, from
which We extract the following: The cotton
planters of this State, especially in those coun-
ties Of Wake county, where they cultivate
nothing but cotton, are all "busted." They
are largely in debt for last years supplies, and
the merchants hold a top mopgage ON their
cotton, and will not make advances on it, and
the planters are not able to run" the negro
laborers, that is they cannot furnish them
with provisions, mules, etc. have not seen
a man for twelve DAYS that wanted mule, or
that could raise the money To pay for one. |
do not believe that the horse. aud mules that
are now in this State for sale can be oasked for
more than so per head within the next sixty
DAYS. The money is not here, and to sell on
time Is equivalent to giving them away. /
have only sold ten head. We will try the to-
bacco-growing counties next. We cannot
wort ourselves unless the people refuse To
look at a ninle."

The Fir-t National Bank, Of Quincy,
Illinois, was on Friday night last, rob-
bed of about $780, 900 in currency. The
bank was entered by cutting through
the hall floor of the second story imme-
diaiely over the vault. The burglars
then made breech through three feet of
masonry Of about four feet square. They
then cut through an inch thick sheet Of
boiler iron, and entered the vault. They
then charged both the money safe and
the one containing bonds and valuable
papers with powder, and by means Of a
small India rubber hose, carried train
to the top of the safe where small pis-
tol, screwed to an old ledger, was ar,
ranged to set it off. A string was at
tached to the pistol and passed out of
window of the second story to the street,
and by this means the operators were en-
ableJ to discharge their blasts when the
streets we're clear of people.

THE GENEVA AwARD.-The I'm tied States
Senate passed. on the 18th inst, bill for
the distribution Of the Geneva Award This
award amounts to fifteen and one-half mil
lion Of dollars, and over the distribution OF
this fund there is q fierce and greedy
struggle by Eastern ship-owners, insurance
companies and merchants, which, up to this
time, has kept the money in the United
States Treasury. According to tie bill, as
passed, there is to be court of five persons,
to be appointed by the President, which is
to consider oil claims resulting from damage
by the Alabama, Florida and their tenders,
and by the Shenandoah after her departure
from Melbourne. No one is to be compen-
stated If he has already been compensated
by any insurance company, unless his losses
exceed his indemnity from the insurance
company. The insurance companies are
excluded unless their losses exceed their
gains, and are then to be paid only for excess
of the first.
Only loyal persons are to be paid any
thing.
This bill now goes to the House Of
Representatives..

In the Pcayunes leading editorial of yes
terdaJ we observe the following para
graph:
We understand that movement is on
foot in the Ouachita parishes by which the
farmers intend applying to Government and
to Northern commercial organizations for
the help they chiefly need to restore them to
activity and usefulness. Col. Whitehead
and Mr.. A. w. Faulkner, both citi-
zens of the district and largely in
torested in agriculture there will
shortly start to Washington duly accredited
to make whatever arrangements may be
practicable. They do not ask further aims,
they are all ready to pledge their crops or
their property, if necessary, in order to OBJ
tain the means Of resuming operations and
saving from utter destruction, not only their
remaining possessions, but their very ener-
gies.
If there is any such movement on foot
and the idea is good one-we hope that
our planters will select good men to repre-
sent them. The name of A. w. Faulkner is
certainly not calculated to inspire confidence
in the movement, and we would refer the
Picayune to an article in its columns some
few years since, in which that worthy is
swindler. The Pic. never took that article
back, but on the contrary announced its
ability to substantate its statements.
The charge against Faulkner was for at
tempting to swindle life insurance com
parry by falsely alleging the death of an
individual whose insurance he had procured.
The memory of the Pic. must be growing
unreliable when it gives such prominence to
the name of man who once figured in SO
nnenviable manner in its own columns.
There is no merchant in this community,
in good standing, who would trust this
Faulkner without the most ample security,
and we cannot conscientiously expect the
merchants in other cities to be more liberal.
Has Faulkner's utilization with Kellogg
anything to do with the Pies oblviousness
of his antecedents
