~ The following is reported as the
testimony of Capt. MoELDowNEY and
Capt Bowers before the FIrz JOHN PoR.
TER Court Martial:
Captain Robert McEldo vney, of Mar
tinsville, W. Va, was called. He was
in the Confederate service as Captain in
the Twenty-seventh Virginia Infantry of
the "Stonewall Brigade" On the 29th
of August his brigade was on the right of
Jackson's line,a was moved over to the
left, where A. P. Hill was heavily en-
gagged later IN the day; he remembered
seeing clouds of dust in the direction of
Thoroughfare Gap, which be supposed
was caused by the movement of Long
streets forces, but of his own knowledge
could notsay anything about them; he
placed Jackson's forces on the map and
said he had been over the ground last
week to freshen his memory. He was
not cross-examined, his evidence being in
no respect in conflict with that which has
been already offered.
Mr.. Basil T, Bowers, a lawyer of
Martinsville, W. Va, was the next wit
ness. He described himself as being
Second Lieutenant of the Twelfth Ohio
Battery, attached to Milroy's brigade Of
SigePs division on the 29th of August,
and gave in detail the movements and
operations ofthe battery during that day,
referring TO the map. On the 3lst of
August he left the battery to look for wa
ter for his horses and met an officer, who
questioned him as to his position. He
was not in uniform at the time and the
officer did not believe his statemente and
carried him to the headquarters of Gen.
eral Porter near Centerville. He was
there put under arrest and remained
for some hours outside Of tent in which
General Porter and three of his staff off
GERS were sitting. While there he heard
General Porter say to these officers
"General Pope is coming through this
command shortly. I do not wish any
honors or courtesies shown to him, and
want the troops told So" The officers
thereupon left the tent and in half ar
hour General Pope came along, but nc
attention was paid to him. He 1.-THE wit

had belonged to several brsnches of th,
service for short periods, and that he wa
not commissioned or mustered into th'
army in August, 1862, and was acting a
second lieutenant of the battery withou
authority. He admitted thst he had ono
been arrested as spy by some Ney
York troops and sent to Camp Chase, o.
and that he had afterwards served as
scout for General Milroy and had bee
several times arrested though he had al
ways managed to get free again.

The Financial Panic In Great
Britain.
[By Gable to the Herald. I


GLASGOW, October 15.-Failures and
rumors of failures have filed the air here
to-day. 1
Not in the iron trade only (which is
mostaffected by the suspensions) but to
some extent in the Stock Exchange.
As result OF these suspensions, pig.
iron fell from 43s 81. to42s 10d., aud
l per cent, off for cash; but the price
rallied before the close OF the days sales
to 43s. Sd. Stocks were generally de.
pressed to day, although some slight i'm.
provement took place after official
hours. Yz
In the annual report Of the North Scot
land Bank, issued to-day, the Directors
OF that institution state as their belief that
the failure OF the Bank OF the CITY of
Glasgow arose from departure from the
rule OF Scattish banking, and transactions
of an exceptiouable character and extent.
GREAT ANXIETY IN LONDON.
LONDON, October 15--There is much
anxiety here in every branch OF trade re,
garding impending failures. The mar
ket was much depressed to-day. Two
firms 10 Manchester and one in London
must suspend tomorrow. The failure
OF w estwick d Co., spice merchants, at
% st, Mary at-Hill, E. C., and Nos. II
and Is Cross Lane, e. C., occasionad
little excitement. Their Utilities were
only 10000 (s350,00O). The East In
dia trade is considered rotten. So eau
tous are the Banks that even the best
bills are taken very cautiously.
Money is very scarce Call loans have
reached their higheslltates. AlI.American
securities were very fiat all day. En-
glish hank shares were also low. Paris
is buying Egyptian bonds enormously !;
they are low now, and the wiley French
men are speculating on the administra-
ton of the Khedive's treasury hv En-
glish and possibly Austrian and French

THE FEELING IN PARIS:
PARIS. October 16.-There is nothing
abnormal 10 the state OF financial feelings
there is nothing exciting. The market
iss little dull, but that is all. The fail
ures in Scotland have had little or no ef-
feet here.

"Not III it was my Boy"

Some years ago the late Horace Mann,
the eminent educator, delivered an address
at the opening of some reformatory institu-
tions for boys, during which he remarked
that if only one boy was saved from ruin
it would pay for all the cost, and care, and
labor of establishing such an institution as
that. After the exercises had closed, in
private conversation, q gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement, and said to
him:
"Did you not color that a little when
you said that all the expense and labor
would be repaid if it only saved one boy?
"Not if it was my boy" was the solemn
and convincing reply.
All, there is a wonderful value about
"My Boy" Other boys may be rude and
rough; other boys may be reckless and
wild; other boys may seem to require more
pains and labor than they will ever repay
other boys may be left 10 drift uncared foI

Worlds Money.

There Is no money of the world. ALI
the American gold coin is not money any
where outside of this country; it is only q
commodity. An AmeIie snianding in Eu-
rope with thousand dollars of American
gold, finds that it is not money any more
than other forms of merchandise. He
must sell it and turn it into the money of
the country. He is no better off than if
he had taken American cotton, or Ameri-
can wheat, OF American wool. He is not
30 we'll off for these latter articles would.
reasonably speaking, pay profit for ship
ping, while the man who takes with him
American coins always suffers loss
through discount. They are excepted
abroad only at their value in the melting
pot, making no allowance for the alloy and
the exchange of coinage. Mexican silver
dollars, containing more silver than our
full legal tender silver dollars, are at a
discount of from five to ten cents in this
country.
The money of America is not money in
Europe, or Asia. The money of Europe
and Asia is not money in America. We
will pay premium of one hundred dollars
to any one who will show us specimen of
the money of the world, either coin or pa
per.-Ihe Monitor
OF course there is no such thing as mon
ey of the world; every nation has its own
money. Because iron was once used as
money in Athens does it follow that iron is
money? Silver Is not money, nor Ia Gold
money, nor is paper money, until il is
made 80 by the stamp of some nation.
Money does not grow, It is made.
Because stick is marked with thirty
six inches on it is called a yard stick or
measure, therefore every stick is a yard
measure would be as good logic as that gold
and silver ere money without The Govern
ment stamp.
