The understanding at Baton Rouge is
that the defeat of Banks was overwhelm
ing, and the account of the fight made to
ordor and published in New Orleans, real
ly confirms this belief.
Mr. Adams brings the important intelli
gence that the Red river has fallen with
unexampled rapidity, leaving a number of
r ! helium QuiNtiou4clllrd.
The foreign accounts rcpoit the final
settlement of the great ram dispute in
England. The House of l’eers—the tri
bunal in 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 with this trial, as they
are already well known to the public, hav
ing been a subject of much newspaper dis
cussion for a year past. -1 lie judgment of
the Peers in opposition to the government
is well calculated to weaken the latter in
the confidet.eeof the people. In fact, all
the judicial tribunals decided against it, |
and we have no doubt the government it
self acted in opposition to its ov/n opinion
of the law and justice of the* case. The
seizure tvas 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

The Old Currency and the Xeir Six Per
Cents.—It is not generally known that the
old currency may be funded in the six
per cent, bonds says I he Richmond Ex
aminer, which the Secretary of the Treas
ury is authorized to issue to the amount
of five hundred millions ol dollars. The
bonds are to bear interest at the rate of
six per cent, per annum, and tuns six hun
dred and sixtv-six dollars, thus invested,*
will yield the same amount of interest as
one thousand dollars in the four per cents
—lorty dollars per annum in botlr cases.—
the holder of the notes will lose noth
ing in amount of interest, by neglecting
to fund them at their expressed value in
four tier cents, and funding them hereafter
Rt 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
revenues of the Confederacy derived from
its import duties and its export duties on
cotton, tobacco and naval stores. Xo fund
or revenue is pledged or set apart for the
pajment of tho interest on the four per
cents. The holders of the six per cent,
bonds will be preferred creditors of the
Government, secured by the mortgage of
a sufficient amount of its revenues. It is
probably the most desirable disposition to
be made of what remains of the bad cur
rency to convert it, scaled to the amount
of one third, into the new six per cents.
We think the Editor is mistaken.—
The new six per cent, bonds are to be put
up and sold in the market, lor what they
will bring. They will be very valuable.

KIU CATION OF DISABLEDSOI.DIKRa
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees
of Mercer University, held this day in At
lanta the (blowing resolution, offered by
Rev. J. U. Campbell, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That Georgia Soldiers who have
been, or may be. disabled in the service of
the Confederate Stales, or of the State of
Grorgia, be aiiowed the privilege of at

control British policy. Russell has de
f'erred to him in everything, even to the
humiliation of his country. British neu

others. It was also announced that an
other sum -of 830,000 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 the city promised to give to the
Institution a lot in the city of fifty acres—

Negro 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. We 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 Y ankees. But at the same time
we believe that the presence of the negroes
hastened our victories and made them
easier. AA’e need not say to Southern
readers that the uegro has no qualities
out of which a soldier can be manufactured.
Auy re.iance upon him in that way is sure
to bring disappointment and disaster. An
army composed in any’ degree of such
troops in an army lias a weak point.that
always may be broken through by an ad
versary that knows how to use his opportu
nities. Hence it is that we hold that the
enrollment of negro troops has brought
