and 1t was not many IpInutt5 until Capt. BaiIie of Augusta an cid veteran who happened to be in the city, waR going around taking names for a company. Others joined in the same business and names for three full companies were enrolled to the num- of 297. In Rome company is ready for enrolment and in Augusta names for two companies were secured. A curious story is told here about Uni- ted States Minister Jackson who has just resigned his post in the City of Mexico, He was the colonel of a Georgia lgiment in tbe last Mexican war, and there feud arose between him and Jefferson Davis which was turned by the latter to the disadvan- tage of Jackson both at the time and Iii the fate war. Jackson Was in Saw annah on leave of absence during the Chatham centennial to take a promi- rent official part. The coming of Jefferson Davis on his famous tour was the signal for Jackson to throw up his part and leave the city rather
  than meet his former comrade. Jack son is an old man now but full of fire, and it said by his friends here that he would not be ayerse to taking com mand of the Georgia contingent should War with Mexico ensue.

Price of silver,

The continued decline in the price of silver has attracted the attention of many, especially those interested in it's production and others who have studied its relations to the currency problem which is showing its inf1u- ence ill every prominent commercial nation.
 Natural causes in the course Of trade and commerce have been care fully investigated to find the cause of this downward tendency but no satis- factory solution has so far been given.
 One fact which possibly has some bearing upon the question is that while the United States is the chief producer of silver and will probably continue to hold this position she has no voice or influence in fixing the price of her valuable commodity, but accepts the price fixed by the pur- chaser, or the London broker. It is also fact that during the month of January alone England imported $19 100000 in silver, paying for the same at price fixed by herself. Pur- chasing nearly $2O,OO0,OO0 in silver per month for currency purposes al- though nominally gold currency country it is for the interest of Eng land, 10 depress the price of silver to the lowest point.
 There has been recently 2 strong movement in Germany and England which has voiced the feeling of an important class of citizens, demand- ing the 1emonetizatiou of silver and its use as currency. If this movement continues and the fnanciers of these countries see lke deplorable conse- quences of the mistake that wac made and the change which seems to be inevitable sooner or later, there may be an effort made to depress silver to the lowest possible point for the pur- pose of securing large stock at the least cost to meet the exigepcies Of the case.
 Apparently willing to sacrifice one of the most important indu tries of the country the effort of large class of citizens and Government officials has been to make silver unpopular and To create an unfavorable impres- sion in regard to it.
 All these various influences have Flthout doubt tended to create the conditions which at present prevail.- Chicago Mining Review.
