The young men belonging to the Guards, are, a great majority of them, business which will demand their presensc that day Many ot them perhaps could not turn out. The military will, or ought to be, one of the features of the occasion. And then the merchants would no doubt close up for two or three hours on Monday afternoon.

The Augusta Chronicle in noticing this new de parture, says: “The proposition that the govern ment should establish a sub-treasury iu every county for the reception of farm products is not apt to puzzle the people very long. It probably find its rise in the Wiudoni plan to receive into the treasury vaults all the silver bullion that can be bought, issuing therefor silver certificates on the market value of the metal. This measure has not been accepted by the silver men, and will not he. The former are the material for the coin of the country. They are tlio author ized money ot the constitution, and even under the doubtful treatment of the Wiudoni scheme would not ! furnish a precedent for ail agricultu ral sub-treasury. If the corn and cotton of the farmer arc to lie stored and bonded, and treasury notes issued upon their value, other interests would clamor for similar favors. Manufacturers and miners would ask for 'cloth and iron warehouses what not.

The law which authorizes spirits to be put in bond was framed because the manufacture of spirits is accompa nied by a heavy tax.
