What Bank-NoteS Are.

Our Petersburg contemporary is not
silenced, and we fear it will be difficult
to make it see the error of its ways.
Nevertheless, we will add a word or
two TO what we have heretofore said to
it on the subjectof the relative values of
greenbacks and bank-notes. Wequote !;
" To argue that the creature is
greater than the creator would be
thought very poor theological logic, but
the dispatch seems to regard this kind
Of argument as the height of financial
reasoning"
The United States Government was
certainly formed by the State govern
ments.
But what has that to do with the
value of e greenback relatively to the
value of bank-note? During the war
between the States there came time
when the notes of State banks and even
little corporations were better than
those Of the Confederate States. We
quote again:
1.-THE careful reader will see at a
! glance that these clearinghouse certii-
Gates are simply deemed lawful money
Tor the convenience of the banks which
make their daily settlements in this
way-and for no other purpose"
Well, "that's good" AS the spur
pose " is to redeem bsnk-notes, it would
seem to be that this fact is an all-suiii-
cient answer to our contemporaries
statement that the bank-notes were re-
deemabls only in greenbacks. As gold
and silver coins constitute the only real
money, it is q clear case that bank
notes, greenbacks, and clearinghouse
certificates can only be :" deemed
money"
woquots again:
Z" We will add, with due respect for
our contemporary, which We have every
reason to believe means TO be honest
and truthful in this matter, that it is,
unintentiopally without . doubt, de-
ceiving its readers when 1t attempts to
lead them into the belief that . note,
whose only basis for existence is the
credit and guarantee Of the Government,
is better than note issuedby tnat Gov
eminent ITSELF"
We haven't doubt IS 10 the honesty
and trut, fa'ness Of our contemporary,
but We can't add that it is dsceivipg its
readers, seeing that We do not believe
they can BE- 30 easily mislsd even by
an honest advocate Of such theories as
the Iader-Appsal puts forth. Yet we
would beg lsavs 70 remark that the very
question ct issue between US 10 whsthsr

The Mozart Academy.

The Mozart Academy Of Music will
be formally opened Monday evening
an event which speaks volumes for the
liberality and cultivation Of our city.
The building would be credit to any
city and the facts that it was demanded
and that the funds to meet the demand
were SO cheerfully contributed give
Richmond an unquestioned title to the
claim Of being a musical centre.

SOUTH BosTON, January 9, 1856.
The first snow of this winter fell
here yesterday, and it made up for lost
time when it did come. The air was
piercingly cold, and the wind blew in
gusts, very much after the Dakota
blizzard style. The storm of hail and
snow continued until late in the night,
and the ground is now covered several
inches deep with very wintry mantle.
To-day is the coolest we have had this
winter.

HYDROPHOBIA

winter.
HYDRoPHOBIA
appears to be epidemic just now, and, |
am sorry to say, the terrible disease has
made its appearance in this section,
although not to a great extent. There
we're reports a month or two ago that
hydrophobia was prevalent among the
dogs in this county in the Vernon-Hill
neighborhood, and yesterday infOrma-
ton reached here that Mr.. r. NJ. White,
Of this county, was bitten by mad
dog December Oath. Mr.. White went
to Mr. Pointer, the owner of the famous
Pointer maidstone, who resides in Person
ccInty, North Carolina, and had the
stone applied to the wound as long as
itwould adhere. Mr.. White believes
it has benefited him greatly.
THE VIRGINIA DARKEY IN HIS
GLORY
is the Virginia darkey 'possum huntin',
and this is the season par ercettenee for
indulgence in his favorite sport. Seve-
raj nights ago colored man living on
the plantation of Captain w. S. Belts,
about seven miles from South Boston,
sauntered out with his "'possum
dCrg," a pine-knot torch, and the ne
cessary axe. Soon he heard his dog
tree" and, rushing to the spot, was
astonished to find the dog holding a
large buck. Edo promptly killed the
deer with the axe and went home salts
fed with his hunt.
REPUBLICAN, INTIMIDAT1ON.
A recent letter in the Dispatch from
Mecklenburg county relative to intimi-
dation of colored Democrats by Repub-
leans of the same race has attracted
some attention. What the Dispatch
correspondent wrote is no new tale to
the people Of this section. During the
progress Of the last campaign | wrote
the Dispatch more than once that the
same practices we're being INDUCED in
here in Halifax, and more extensively
even in Charlotte county. The colored
Democratic Club of this place last fall
was the subject Of much Of this sort
OF persecution. One peculiar fact
about the business is that the negro
women are bitter Republicans, and
denounce in the most unmeasured
terms all colored Democrats. Indeed,
their influence was the most formidable
barrier in the way of Democratic
negroes. They would slight, sneer at,
ard elevate their sable suitors without
mercy upon the first intimatiOn that his
"Publikin principals wuz turnin'
D.mikratic," as one expressed it and
the secretary of the club, worthy
colored butcher Of this town, one eve-
ming opened the meeting with the
grotesque announcement that he " have
Jest returned from very entertainin'
discusshun wild my old lady about de
political situashun at de present occa-
sion. We had a right peart tussle over
de matter, but here | is, gentlemen.
Let's puIceed to bizness." This is
frozen fact. as many white Democrats
in the audience were struck with the
statement and have not forgotten it.
