John Bull is plethoric with money, The last report of the Savings Banks sums up an amount on deposit greater than the national debt of the United states, which ii mi ally yields the lepositors only about two per cent." per annum.

The Governor be-rated the jieopleof Augusta for going back on him ; told what he had done for Atlanta in the past, and was going now to get their Cotton Factory out of its financial collapse; and how he would have built the Hartwell road but for the credulity of the August inns in believing all that politicians said about him. But the great questions after all are, why did the Governor runaway ? and wBv does he come hack ? the confederate monument which is to be erected, and is to be un veiled on the 28th of April, is the talk. The ladies are full of excitemoM almtit it- Preparations are being mudt "0 tll(! most Extended scale. Col. C. <1 Jones formerly of Savannah, late of New York, fs t ,, pronounce the oration. Military companies have been invited tom a dit Umet. It is said that an arrangement has been made to secure oae J of the flnest hands in the U.

Johnson, General Beauregard, was^rry and General Joe Wheeler. I that llexander If. Stephens, was iot invited to deliver the oration. I should like to have seen this truly “great on mraoner” who has achieved as giesfi victories as Chatham ever did, invfted to the chief part in the great rote. Sev oral northern notables, now in Washing ton, and also some who cm tin^iiished themselves in the Federal army against the Confederate soldiers, are expected. However, the preparations fire upon an extended scale, and I have§° doubt but that the committee in chaise, will work assiduously to make the affair an impos ing one.
