Roston and the SoutIl.

Boston is II looking to the South. The
Economist says. 1T is perfectly easy
to see, from a simple outline of this
great Erlanger scheme, that Boston is
to have no small share Of advantage
from an increased traffic directly with
the South and Southwest. The lead
ing capitalists and business men Of
this city do not have the reputation Of
being obtuse in matters that relate to
their advantage and the city with
which their interests are bound up
and their fortunes identified. They
are habitually as quick to detect a
possible benefit as other men are to
appreciate it when it has been brought
to their attention. And while Boston
capital has been poured outs lavishly
in the development of the country
beyond the Mississippi ythe building
Of railroads, the actual returns from
which have never yet been proportion
ally manifest in the increased bushes.

PUBLIC LspeEs orr1us,

mkhPHIss TENN, october ~, 1851,
Many inanciers in the East predict
a crisis in the money market near at
hand. They are all puzzled wei the
ruling monetary s~tringency. In view
Of the fact hat $l25, 600 900 has been
added to the stock of gold in this
country during the past twelve
months, and the wealth of the country
has largely increased in other respects.
the problem is difficult to solve by the
most astute men of business. Some
attribute it to the colossal speculatiOns
which for months past has SO infp-
enoed grain, meat, cotton, and other
necessities, and the vast sums locked
up in these commodities, undoubtedly
has had a tightening effect. Others
express the view that the national
treasury, with upwards Of 5000, 600
in its vaults, three-fourths of which
is gold and silver, is the true cause.
Last year at this time the United
States treasury had $4,000, 900 less on
hand than it has at present. Keeping
out Of the regular market, at this i'm
portant crop moving season, so large a
volume Of money, is exciting wild
comment, and strenuous efforts have
been in progress for some time past, to
induce Secretary Window to call in
more bonds, and disburse some of the
millions he has on hand. Ifthis we're
done, and speculation checked, it
might have the desired effect. Per-
haps when the crash comes, if come it
must, those who have been locking up
vast sums in breadstuffs and provision
corners, will be the main sufferers. In
such event the general public would
not care.
Exchange is without variation.
Offerings Of cotton bills are quite
liberal. The banks buy Eastern bills
at 81 80 to SO 70 per 1000 discount,
and sell drafts on New York or West
ern cities at % 80 per 1000 premium.
On New Orleans rates are ic of buy
ing, and par selling.

bonds are as follows:

Russian Hebrews.
Special to Nashville Dannor.l

Special to Nashville Banner.l
New YORK, October 1l.-Threo
hundred Russian Hebrews, who ar
rived in this city Sunday, left to-day
for Rochester, Philadelphia and Ell
mira.i They are exiles from the South
Of Russia, and were sent here by the
the Alliance ~lsraelita Universelle of
Paris, France. Hundreds of others
are coming and will be sent westward
by the Hebrew Society recently or
ganized in New York. Most o fthose
coming are young men. There are
comparatively few women and chill
dren. They are a good, intelligent,
fairly educated people, much superior
to the average Russian of that part of
the Empire. This led to their perse-
cution quite as much as did old relig-
ious prejudices. Over $4,000 have
been raised for this exile fund, and
many thousands more may be needed.
The trouble is not and will not be in
the raising Of needed funds, but in
the multiplicity of detail in providing
them new homes here where they
will be self-sustaining. Many exiles
having money are coming independent
of the Society.

II PENSION FRAUDS.
The Scandal Likely 10 Eclipse
that Of the Treasury
Department.

Special to the courier-JOurnal.l
WASHINGTON, October 8.-There is
scarcely a doubt but what the Pension
Office will soon blow off a scandal,
beside which the Treasury ring opera
tions will dwindle into nothingness.
Commissioner Dudley is just now
busily engaged in unearthing a formi-
dable ring that has existed in the Pen
sion Office for years. It's peculation
can only be guessed at; the figures
have been placed in the millions. He
then pulled off his coat and took a
tussle with the ring, which resulted
in his being fred out by President
Garfield; the ring won. Dudley is
made of sterner stuff, and may, if
backed up by the Executive, succeed
in bouncing the ring.

Confederate Bonds wanted.

Little Rock Gazette Special
DALLAS, October 1O.-The banks Of
this city to-day received kilograms
from Wall street parties, informing
them that they want all the Confeder-
ate bonds they can secure, and that
they will pay two dollars and fifty
cents per thousand dollars for the
said securities. The announcement
here, when made public, was a surprise
to everybody, as the motive for want
ing to purchase Confederate bonds is
not understood.
1t is surmised this sudden appear
ance Of what has been considered
worthless and dead collateral is a
scheme Of collision on the part Of
European and New York capitalists
to jointly purchase the bonds, and in
the future to endeavor to get the
State or general government to pay
them, and then the Europeans and
New Workers. to divide the profit.
