We have at work for us many of the men brought up by Mr. Griswold In the business trom boyhood, thereby securing a com bination of skill and practical experience. We will spare no pains in striving to give satisfaction, as our success depends on the merit of our edits.— Our Works are convenient to Macon, (3 miles dis tant,) on the Central Railroad, and easy of access.

We v ould say to tlie former patrons ot Mr. Griswold that, in consequence of advanced age, he lias given np the manufacture of Gins en tirely, and has kindly extended to us all of his ex perience and advice.

The Notes of National Banks—Liabil ity of Government for their Redemp tion, etc. The following letter, and the decisions It contains, is peculiarly Interesting at this time, when the public is turning a suspi cious eye upon the National Banks and all that relates to the/ Treasury of the c n i ted States, \ Washington, May 16, 1866. > Dear Sir: Your letter .'(he 10th in stant has just now been rect ' and. You ask to what extent is .be Govern ment liable for the redemption the notes of the National Banks. I answer to the full juominal face value of every note Issued by theComptrollerol the Currency to a bank, and by the bank put into circulation. You ask, “Should the bank deposits w ith the United States Treasurer to secure the cireulatingnotes with the banks depositing them be inadequate to the redemption of the notes of the bank, by reason of the de cline of the securities deposited, is the Government bound to redeem the notes at par?” The 47th section of the National Currency act not only gives the right to forfeit ail the securities held for any defi ciency, but the Government lias a first and paramount lien upon all the assets of a tie faulting bank. I therefore answer this question affirmatively. You ask again, “Could the absolute fail ing of a National Bank impair the value of the circulating notes of the bank mak ing such failure?’’ I answer, No. On the contrary, the notes of a National Bank that has failed are rather better than those of a bank in good standing, if away from the business marts or commercial centres of the country ; for the reason that the Tretisurer of the United Suites becomes the Cashier of such defaulting bank, and will, through his assistants and all other Gov ernment officers, redeem such circulation. You ask, fourth, “Are the notes of the United States Treasury, beyond tlie fact of their being legal tenders, a greater security to the holders, than the currency of the National Banks. The United States legal tender notes af ford no greater security to the holder than the notes of National Banks. The only real difference between the two is that while the latterare only a legal tender from such legal tender from and to all parties, whether municipalities, corporations or in dividuals. Very respectfully, yours, F. E. Spinner, Treasurer. R. E. Daniel, Esq , Cashier Merchants’ Na tional Bank, Memphis, Tenn. The Suppression or Interest on Debts Due Southern Creditors. Avery important question was decided recently, in the U. S. Circuit Court, of Il linois, which may ntieet many interests. A resident of Virginia had, before the war obtained a judgment against a citizen of Illinois, which remained unpaid at the outbreak of the war. On the 13th dsiy of July, 1861, Congress authorized the Presi dent, by proclamation, to forbid all com mercial intercourse between that j>ortion not in rebellion, and on the loth day <jf August following, the President issued his proclamation under the act of Congress, declaring all Virginia, east of the Allegha ny mountains to be in a state of rebellion, aud prohibiting, within ttitcen days after the date thereof, all commercial intercourse with the inhabitants. On the Ist of tember, 1861, when freedom of intercourse ex pi ted, the plaiutUl was still in tlie Con federacy and the defendant at home. The judgment remained unpaid. Iu January of the present year, the defendant asked leave to pay the amount of the judgment into Court, witli interest to Csepteml>er 1, 1861, when right of intercourse with the people of Virginia ceased. The motion was made upon the ground that after that date there was no one to whom tlie money could be paid, and that during the war all debts due Southern creditors was suspend ed. The Court affirmed this view of the case, and ordered tliat payment be made of the principal, with interest, until Sep tember 1, 1861. This was done in the absence of the de fendant, and he subsequently applied to i have the order, principally upon allega tions that the defendant had acted disin-1 genuously toward him. by representations | made since the original order of the Court. | That tribunal, however, u ->sed to consid- ! er these questions, and, n r argument, re-artirmed the original order. The matter will he taken to the Supreme Court of the XJnited States for final decision. The prin cipal thus adjudged, if sustained must op erate in all cases of judgment by Southern creditors against Northern debtors, and also to claims for interest upon debts not yet in suit. If the doctrine of the South ern Court of Illinois is sustained, all in terests upon Southern claims against Northern debtors, was susjiemled after the President’s proclamation of non-iuter course, and in cases the difference to the debtors and creditors will be very consid erable. — Chat. Union. A Wonderful Phenomenon. STARKVILLE, April 4, iB6O. Editor of Wilkes' Spirit of the Timet : Sir:— The following very strange and anomalous circumstance lias just trans pired in our community : Mr. Gabriel El lis, a flourishing dry-goods merchant, had frequently remarked that he could sit up three weeks without any material detri ment to his health ; and that after the ex piration of that time he could go to sleep, and sleep without waking until the loss was made up. He was led to believe this ! fact from experiments on a smaller scale.) In the early part of February he sold out ( his store.and invested the capital, thus raised, in a farm, which gave him leisure; and in compliance with tlie wishes of sev eral scientific gentlemen, he begun on the 11th day of February to abstain from sleep. Gentlemen sat up by turns to satisfy them selves of his strange faculty; and to use- 1 elude all possibility of being accused oi momentary snatches of sleep, he would read audibly all night long, uud keep Lis feet during the day—watched all the while at his own.request, lie would comment i in a clear, forcible and intellectual manner i upon what he read—deploring the heart- I lessness of “lago,” laughing at the illim itable drollery and humor of the “Army «{Straggler,” etc. Oil thelOth day of March, i <jt the urgent solicitation <>t triends, lie i W ent to sleep for the first time,and did not wake until the nineth day of the present mouth lie expressed the opinion that he could stay awake a year, and then sleeep in proportion, without injuring his consti tution. He never gets sleepy until he closes his eyes and resigns himself to slum ber at which time he gets asleep almost ! instantly, without regard to the noise or excitement around him. There are many i curious facts connected with biscase which I might interest the readers of your vnlua i ble paper; but as Doctors Edmund, »' Mo an and Jordan are preparing for the press an 1 elaborate statement of their experiments 1 and discoveries, I desist, j Youis, very truly Richard L.
