Mr
The Old Currcnri/ and the New Sir Per
Cents.—It is not generally known that the
old currency may be funded itt the six
per cent, bonds says the Richmond Ex
aminer, which the Secretary of the Treas
ury is authorized to issue to the amount
of five hundred millions of dollars. The
bonds are to bear interest at the rate jjf
six per cent, per annum, and thus six hun
dred and sixtv-six dollars, tlms invested,
will yield the same amount of interest as
one thousand dollars in the four per cents
—forty dollars per annum in both cases.—
So the holder of the notes wjil lose, noth
ing in amount of interest, by neglecting
to fund them at their expressed value in
four per cenfs, and funding them hereafter
at the rate of sixty-six cents in the dollar
in six per cents.^ The interest on the six
per cents is secured by the pledge of the
tevenucsof the Confederacy derived from
its import duties and its export duties on
cotton, tobacco and naval stoics. No fund
or revenue is pledged or set apart for (be
payment of the interest on the four per
cents. The holders of the six per cent,
bonds will be preferred creditors of tbe
(Government, secured by the mortgage of
a sufficient amount of its revenues. It is
probably the most desirable disposition to
be made of wl.at remains of the bad cur-
renev to convert it, scaled to the amount
of ouo third, into the uewsix per cents.
AVe think the Editor is mistaken.—
The new six per cent, bonds are to be put
up and sold in the market, for what they
will bring. They will be very valuable.

The foreign accounts report the final
settlement of tbe great ram dispute in
England. The House of Peers—the tri
bunal i:i the last resort—lias decided that
the seizure of the vessels by the govern
ment was illegal, and ordered their re
lease.
It is unnecessary to detail the circum
stances connected uiitli this trial, as the}'
are already well known to the public, hav
ing been a subject of nmch newspaper dis
cussion for a j ear past. 'I he judgment of
the Peers in opposition to the government
is well calculated to weaken the latter in
the confidence of tbe people. In fact, all
the judicial tribunals decided against it,
and we have no doubt the government it
self acted in opposition to its own opinion
of the law aud justice ofthe case. The
seizure was an act of cowardly truckling
to Abolition threats on the part of a timid
and unprincipled ministry. These reitera
ted judgments against them should bring
the entire government into contempt at
home, as it is estimated already by the
world abroad. Under no administration
for the last hundred years has the British
character suffered so severely as at the
hands of those to whose keeping it is now
entrusted.
Russell lacks principle and courage, two
essential qualities to the statesman. He
is an Abolitionist ofthe deepest dye, and
this fanatical feature in his character, as in

A l.i-af of .Memory I.o«.l.
An old man’s memory is a queer place.
Indeed, it resembles au oldfashioned gar
ret, full of relics and souvenirs of the past
parmient, having with him a large quan
tity of letters for Texas soldiers. 'We are
indebted to him fora letter from trans-

Magruder coming up also
with his troops from Texas. Disinforma
tion is that the gr 'at batile took place on
thclltliinst. In this connection we may
state that a lady from Baton Rouge, ar
rived a day or two since at Enterprise, re
ports that large numbers of wounded were
being brought in when she left, two boats
having been pressed to convex them; that
the understanding there was that Gen.
Smith retired toward Shreveport before

commotion then occurred in the rear of

il to the Legislature of Georgia In bis ’ ’ ’
I speech he declared that there was no sitni-
| larity of views between Holden and
Brown, nor did they work with the same
object.
It will thus be" seen that the Governor of
North Carolina assumes the same position
occupied by the Governor of Georgia—
nay. not assumes, but declared that he
held it prior to Governor Brown In North
Caiolina thera me two candidates for Gov
ernor—Holden and Vance, the present
incumbent. The message of Governor
Brown to the Georgia Legislature was j Batiks’forces, supposed to be lrom an at-
held up by bis enemies as an encourage
ment to Holden and bis traitorous crew,
and they have, in fact, been endeavoring
to make capital of it. Governor Vance lias

as the loyal candidate, and we find him
not only coinciding with Governor Brown’s
views, but claiming them as his own ideas,

yesterday.
In conversation yesterday with an old
man, who lias passed a long and useful
life, and with whom it is now Indian sum
mer, we were impressed with a remark he
incidentally made. lie had seen the open
ing of near seventy winters—at first the
winters came and went, by and by unmel
ted snow fiakos lingered in his hair, and
lie-saw them drifting over the graves of
one after another, whose feet with his had
brushed the morning dewg together. At
last they whitened over his old wife's last
resting place—her who knew him when
the shadows fell to the westward, and
“the day was before” them both—who
neve*r thought him old, though all the
world pronounced him so. Every body
said when she died, “it is a terrible blow
to the old man,” and a few did all they
could to make him forget; but there w ? as
no need of that, “for,” said he. “they
did’nl seem to know where the blow fell
which they so deplored-they didn't think
how much l missed somebody to help me
lcmember!’
These few words indeed contain a Avotld
of meaning. He did miss the other leaf from
memory’s tablet. Two pair of eyes had
but one rainbow—but one pair beheld it
tack of guerrillas; that Banks sent a con
siderable force to punish them, when the
gueirillas proved to be Magruder, at-the
head of his brave Texans, w ho at once
commenced a heavy attack; that at the
sound of Magruder’s guns, Smith checked
his retreat, and.as agreed upon, suddenly
assumed tlie offensive, and that tlieeneiny

Governor A anco is right. Governor
Brown lias no sympathy-wiih Holden, nor
them being driven into the river.
The understanding at Baton Rouge is
that the defeat of Banks was overwhelm-
Vance is honest—and we have no. reason
to doubt his honesty—lie is the one with
whom the Governor of Georgia agrees,and
who agrees with him. What will the
newspaper enemies of Governor Bfown
say, when the}’ read that Governor Vance,
acknowledged b}’ them to be the loyal
Confederate candidate for the guberna
torial honors of North Carolina, favors tbe
“agitating” and “nnpatiiotic” views of
Governor Brown. Surely they will not
infer, now that Governor Vance has spo

ferred to him in everything, even to the j ove p incS3 0 f this
humiliation of his country. British neu- j
trality in the American war has been but
little better than active intervention for
the subjugation ot the South. 1’ torn tbe
beginning tbe United States have, been
buying ships, arms, and ammunition in
Biitjsh ports aud recruiting her armies in
almost every British town, and yet not a
word of complaint has been uttered. 1 he
building of a few steam rams, under cir
cumstances that created a suspicion that
they were intended for the Confederates,
aroused all the ire and indignation of this
1 same honest Mipistry, and caused them to
put foith every effort, legal and otherwise,
to suppress what they were pleased ^
term “a violation of British ncutrality .
The rams Vero seized and held up for ad- ^
judication. The lower courts decided there
was no breach of neutrality, ana ordered
the vessels to be released. Bussell then
appealed to the Exchequer, a still higher
tribunal, which also decided against him.
A final appeal to the House ot 1 eers has
met with a like result, and the rams, we
suppose,.are now at liberty, and wi P 10

There is a legend concerning this valley

pathos—of romance.

and because of her extraordinary personal II F Smith,
charms, her people, in doing her homage, al
most forgot the Great Spirit who endowed
her with suchatt ractive loveliness of form

acknowledged and worshipped by all the
youthful warriors oflier own tribe, many of
whom sought her love in vain, but she was
courted and loved by the youth of other

l>r. Crawford explained the object of the
meeting, and said lie had been informed
that there was a gentleman in tbe State,
who was willing to give 8100,000 for the
establishment of an Orphan Asylum, pro
vided that the same amount be raised by
others. It was also announced that an
other sum of 530,000 could be probably
obtained for the same purpose. It was
further announced that 85,000 had been
promised to an Institution. A gentleman
living in tbe city promised to give to tbe
Institution a lot in the city of fifty acre.s—
worth 850,000. Addresses were made by
Dr. Tucker, Rev. Mr, Tickenor. and Hon.
J. L. M. Curry, of Alabama, and others.—
It is understood that tbe Asylum is to be
placed under Baptist control.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees

lanta the folcwing resolution, offered by
Rev. J. H. Campbell, was unanimously
adopted:

f Appeal.
beneath the holy stars and by the side of
tbe murmuring waters of the beautiful
Chattahoochee, they vowed to live and
die for each other. Their meetings were
frequent- hut clandestine, as Loceola’s tribe
aud the Cherokees were at war with each
other. Nacoochee’s father heard of these
secret meetings, and became enraged.—
One night, says the legend, his daughter
was missing, and warriors were sent in pur
suit of her.
They found bar with Loceola. In aD
instant an arrow was aimed at his breast,
Naeoochee sprang before him and receiv
ed it in her own heart. *
Her lover was stupified, made no resis
tance, and was killed. They were buiied
in the same grave—a mound was raised to
mark the spot, and the valley has ever
since been called Naeoochee.
i f Georgia Tints.
He said that half a million was necessary
' to begin tbe enterprise, and be tbought it
| could be easily raised 1 . He thonght half
j that amount could be raised in the city
| of Atlanta. The Governor’s Address was
I listened to with profound emotion. He
j concluded, with amotion which was adop-
! ted, th^t meetings be held on Sunday
| night in the First and Second Baptist
I Churches of this city,, to present the sub-
! ject of an Orphan Asylum before the peo
ple.
Dr. Tucker nfoved that a committee of
five be appointed to prepare a constitution
to be submitted before the meeting at 51-2
o’clock this afternoon. Agreed to.
The President appointed as that com
mittee Hia Excellency, Joseph E. Brown,
Dr. Tucker, Rev, Mr. DeVotie. Rev Mr,
Mansfield, andD. A Vason, Esq.
Then adjourned.
Nkgro Troops.—The catastrophe of
the Y'ankees* at Fort Pillow, like their
rout at Ocean Pond, and other mishaps
that have befallen them of late, is attribu
ted by themselves to the cowardice of their
negro allies. VVe are well satisfied, says
the Richmond Whig, that the result in
each of these cases would have been tlie
same, if the place of the negroes had been
filled by Yankees. But at the same time
we believe that the presence of the negroes
hastened our victories and made them
easier. YVo need not say to Soul hern
readers that the negro has no qualities
out of a hich a soldier can be manufactured.
Any reliance upon him in that way is sure
to bring disappointment and disaster. An
army composed in any degree of such
troops in ait army has a weak point,that
always may be broken through by an ad
versary that knows bow to use hi3 opportu
nities. Hence it is that we bold that the
enrollment of negro troops has brought
into their atmies an element of positive
weakness,and given ns a great advantage,
l'he unnattural and diabolical attempt to
turn slaves against their own masters
reacts upon those who conceived tho vil
lainy, and renders their overthrow more
certain and speedy. Iu this as in other
ways, the institution of slavery is being
miraculously vindicated by the events of
the war.
Gwcrnr Drowns (Message in the Army.
A correspondent of the Griffin Gazette
over the signature of “Private Frank,”
writes that paper a letter in which the fol
lowing paragraph occurs:
Pamphlet copies of the Message ofGov.
Brown to the Legislature at its recent ses
sion, have been sent to the company com
manders of our command, and I presume
to all the other Georgia troops. It has
been extensively read and commented on
by both officers and men. I find many
who condemn the policy of the message
“intoto,” (these say they have never,been
Joe Brown men, and swear they nercr will
be.) others agree with the Governor in some
of his measures and differ from hint in oth
ers ; but a majority of those whom I have
heard express their opinions, agree witIi
Gov. Brown in almost every measure pro
posed. Ilis position in regard to the act
passed bv Congress authorizing the sus
pension of the writ of Habeas Corpus,
meets ^ith tbe approval of many who have
always been opposed to Joe Brown. Many
who commend the Governor for his opposi
tion to the conscript act, (because they
thought the exigencies of the country de
manded its passage) heartily endorse his
recommendation to the General Assembly
to “stamp the act (suspending the writ of
Habeas Corpus) with the seal of their in
dignant rebuke,” because they cannot see
that there is any necessity for such a meas
ure.”
