"A NOBLE AND PATRIOTIC LETTER
sENTIN REPLY.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-The following ia a copy
of the letter sent by General Logan in reply to
an invitation of Confederate soldiers of Rock
ingham county, Va, to address them:
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.
Capt. John IT. RallstoY, Harrssonburq, "a:
My Dear Sir,-Your letter, enclosing pe-
ttion containing over 500 names of Confeder-
ate soldiers residing in your locality, request
ing me to deliver an address at your place on
the political issues presented to the citizens of
this republic for their decision, is received, I
regret exceedingly that my engagements are
such that l cannot comply with their request
made in such kind and generous manner as
this has been. 1t does seem to me that the
people of Virginia who are willing to Law
aside their former prejudices and move for
ward IN direction that will give them pros.
perity and be calculated to develop the great
mine OF wealth that lies buried beneath their
SOIL, should adopt tue policy of a protective
tariff and invite Northern capital to invest ia
manufacturing, ETC., in their State and assist
ln the growth aud development of the various
Industries that your country is well adapted to-
The people of the South by adopting this pol.
ICY will move forward to great wealth in the
future. Those who are SO prejudced that thew
Ca not think or speak of anything but the mis-
fortunes OF the past and who refuse to aid and
assist in adopting any policy that will be bene-
ficial to any part of their country will perhaps
continue to cling to their prejudices. Let the
march OF tne progressive people OF your coun-
try pass them by the 5wayside, and move for.
ward In the direction of grand results for their
people in the future by joining and associating
themselves with the party of progress which
has shown the ability for opening the way
and to bringing about the grandest results
ever achieved by the people of any nation
heretofore.
These men who have addressed me in so
kindly manner l recognize as brave men,
such as must take the forefront in bringing
the Southern people out from the lead of men
who have kept their country depressed and
who have never shown the ability to develop
the great sources of wealth that are every-
where found in their part of the country
Convey to these gentlemen my regrets at my
inability to visit Them during the Campaign,
and at the same time give them my kindest
thanks for the very complimentary manner in
which they have addressed me personally.
With great respect, am, very ruly,

NATIONAL BANKS,
Greater Stability Hoped for by Comptrol-
Ter Cannon.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.- Comptroller of Currency
Cannon says that the indications now are that near
ly all the national banks in New York which expiie
after this year viii renew their charters. He has
not sde out the list yet but he says that the lis
which have been published are erroneous but one
OF an tns banks named being right. He says bis
port Will show considerable reduction of national
duction OF last year. For year of great failures
he says the national banks have generally sustained
exactly that they were i'll healthy condition, The
symptoms we're good and gave encouragement for
hopes OF greater stability The period be covered
u The annual report TO Congress extends beyond ihe
lst OF November and the records liable TO be
changed greatly duri that time; but the indi IA
ons are that, while there are more national than
state or p lvate banks in the country the propor-
tl9n OF their failures will probably not reach one
thlrtsenth part. The number of banks whose char
M !ers VIII expire at the eud of this year is greater
