What will be the rejoicing in rebel
camps and rebel councils when the news
reaches them that body Of men in the
hberty-loving State Of Ohio have dared to
propose the name Of Clement L. VaIlan-

who has been the persistent opponent Of
the Government and the upholder Of the
rebels; who has refused, as a representa-

The following account Of the first issue
of paper money in Europe, is taken from
Washington IrVings "ChrOniele Of the
Conquest of Grenada"


After the city Of Alhambra wss taken
from the Moors, the veteran Count de Ten
dilla was left Governor, and we are in
formed that this cavalier was at one time
destitute of gold and silver whereWith to
pay the wages Of his troops, and the SOL
diers murmured greatly, seeing that they
had not the means Of purchasing necessi-
ties from the people of the towns.


In this dilemma, what does this most sa-
vacious commander? He takes him num-
Der of little morsels of paper, on which he
inscribes various sums, large and small,
and signs them with his own hand, and
these did he give the sOldiery in earnest Of
their pay. Howl you will say, are sol
diers to bO paid with scraps Of paper p
Even so, answer, and we'll paid, too, as
will presently manifest; for the
good Count issued proclamation ordering
the inhabitants of Alhsuhr0 to take these
morsels of paper for the full amount there
on inscribed, promising TO redeem them at
a future time with silver and gold, and
threatening severe punishment on all who
should refuse


The people having full confidence in his
words, and trusting that he would be as
willing to perform the one promise 90 he
certainly was able to perform the other,
took these curious morSels Of psper with
out hesitation or demur. Thus, by q sub
tie and most mysterious kind of alchemy,
did this cavalier turn useless paper into
precious gold, and make his impoverished
garrison abound in money. It is but just
to add that the Count Of TeRdills redeemed
his promise like loyal knight.

More hard work is now performed at the
National Observatory than at any former
period. The officers now employed are
bringing up the work which was neglected
By Lieutenant Maury for st least ten
years. Indeed, It Is now aseertained that,
during his whole connection with the OBJ
ssrvatory, he expended his seal upon mat

Government vessels which are now sent to

On the next morning the exertions Of the

closed By a large iron door. On open

many who were taken out were SO badly

question. Altogether, the occurrence is
the most painful, by all odds, that has
ever happened here, and it has carried
death and dcsolaton into many q happy
