The undersigned earnestly appeal to the women of the whole South to aid them in obtaining contributions for the erection of a monument at Richmond, which is to stand as a lasting memorial of the love borne our great Chief by a mourning and grateful people. The sol diers, through their resolutions passed at their great meeting so lately held in Richmond in honor of General Lee, have called upon us to join thorn in collecting contributions for "the desired object. An organization for that purpose has been already formed by the undersigned and to the women of the South—from Maryland to Texas—we appeal for aid. The fourth Sunday in November (Nov. 27th) has been selected as the day on which a collection shall bo taken np in every church throughout the length and breadth of our Southern land. This is the only possible way by which a volun tary aud simultaneous offering can be mode to the memory of him whom we would honor in death as we linve honor ed and loved him in life. With perfect confidence in the love which his people bore him, and in their zeal to do that which, in honoring him most will most redound to their own credit, we cau have no doubt of the success of this plan if it can be brought directly to the notice of every clergyman aud congregation in the South ; aud that this may be accomplish ed, we call upon you to assist us. Let the committees which have been appoint ed for each State act promptly and with vigor> Let them urge, that on the fourth Sunday in November, each member of every family should go to church with that sum, small or great, which their means will allow them to dedicate to this sacred object. To those clergymen and congregations who object to collecting for such ject ou tho Sabbath, we would suggest that they should appoint some suitable day in this mouth when a meeting of their congregation should be held and the collection taken up. Let it be remembered that this monu ment is to be raised by tho whole South; that it is to be one to which, as a people, may point proudly, and to which gen erations for ages to come shall look up with respect for the love which a defeated people could bear to a great but fallen hero. Shonld each of the 25,000 gregations scattered throughout the South contribute but a trifling what a monument could bo reared!

From a sketch of his remarks we take the following : We have gone through this contest, we have rnude no appeal to party, we have made no „ discrimination against men, and yet we have made a distinctive appeal to the common sentiment of the common coantry, iu behalf of tho right of every man to exercise the right of fran chise of a free man, and we; have won up on that principle.

He was indulged iu every way, and tho bondage he was supposed to endure did not hurt him any. After the war, this clever block man struck ont for himself. Ho moved to tho seaboard, and became at once a carpenter aud a Radical politi cian. Ho managed to do a moderate business at his trade, and his name was paraded sonorously in the newspapers. He was, we believe, a noted man in a small way, and had a big name to pub lish. For five years, he has been, as ho was well qualified to be, a species of lead ing Radical among his own race. Every thing seemed to go promisingly with him until a few days back. In a fracus last week ho killed another black man. He was arrested and imprisoned. Iu this sad extremity, did lio get succor from the Radical oil venturers in Savannah ? Did he ever think it worth while to mako his appeal for help in that direction ? From the gloom of his prison, his mind fixed instinctively npon the man who had once exercised gentle sway over him, and who was many miles away. To this, his former master, he wrote one of the most piteous letters wo have ever read, beg ging him for God’s sake nnd for tho sako bf old times, to oome and help him. This letter exhibited a strong reliance that tho heart of the old master would be touched und help of all*sorts, money, counsel and the like liberality extended. What right, though, had this convict to moke any such appeal ? He hod helped all ho could to destroy the prosperity of the very man to whom his mind reverted.— Would not that gentleman thus suplica- ted bo perfectly justified in turning a deaf ear to the cry oi distress which came forth irom the prison at Savannah ? He certainly would; but it is not likely that he will. And yet the benefaction that he is about to consummate may bear, as it has done over and over again, the sting of ingratitude, in cose the unfortunate negro should escapo hanging. What could more aptly illustrate that the negro, in hia day of calamity, relies upon the Southern man whom he essays tornin with the ballot, and has no fidenoo whatever in the men who aro us ing his suffrage as a convenient method of robbery and corruption ? . Wp do not ask the negroes to listen to ns. We ask them to listen to these facts.

Interesting Decision ry the United States Supreme Court.— Washimjton Nov. 12.—U. S. Supremo Court, No. 211.—The National Bank of the Repub lic vs. Millard; error to the Supreme Court of tho District of .Colombia. The defendant in error sued the bauk .< check drawn in liis favor by a paymaster in the army, on the bank against funds to the credit of the drawer. Among other matters, tho court below refusod to charge the jnry that Millard could not recover unless the defendant, the bank, had accepted or promised to pay the check. The verdict was for the plaintiff. As the bank brought tho case here, this court now reverses the judgment holding that the holder of a bank check cannot sue the bank for refusing pay ment in absence of proof that it was ac cepted by. the bona or charged against the drawer. The relation of banker and customer is simply that of debtor and creditor, and does not partake of judi ciary character. There can be no foun dation for on action on the part of the holder unless there is a privity of con tract between him and the bank, and there can be no snCh privity where the bonk owes no date and is under no obli gation to the holder. The holder, takes the check on the credit of the drawer, and the bonk Is not connected with the transaction; Mr. Justice Davis delivi ed the opinion. .
