What -will our Ilatiks Ip T
This Is an important question in connection -with.
the present struggle of, the Southern States for
their Tights, institutions, independence and very
existence. The people of the Confederate States
are now bending every energy and erery resource.
and are' ready to sacrifice life and property for the
maintenance of their independence. Our brave
volunteers are subjecting themselves to all the pri
vations of camp life and to the dangers of the hat
tie field for the support of the declaration that they
prill be free. Oar monied men are lending their
credit, their cash and their financial ability to the
maintenance of the cause. Our planters are sub'
scribing their produce to furnish the resources of
war. Shall the Banks stand back and refuse even
to credit the Governmentso far as to give circula-
tion to its treasury notes! The public' are aware that
a Convention of the Bants of the South
vrhich feet at Atlanta, resolved to receive and pay
out the Treasury notes of the Confederate States
and thus to cive to them universal circulation at
par. The banks were not fnlly represented, and
hence it becomes a question whether all of tjjem
-will adopt this patriotic step, and at once place the
Government on a firm financial footing. If the
Government ehonld be crushed, there is nothing
more.certain than that the banks must go'down -with
it. All credit -will fall in the commonruin. Hence
aside 'from tho duty ta sustain the Government, it
their. interest to uphold its credit, and insure its
success in the great struggle in which it is now en
gaged. The different Tailroads of the South, at
a convention recently held at Chatanooga, re
solved on this patriotic policy. There 13
nojsacrifico of- themselves involved in it And,
ittf that reason, it may the more easily be done.
The Confederate notes are backed by the entire cot
ton and sugar crop of the South. They arc better
intrinsically than any non-specie paying bank. The
policy, therefore, is a very short-sighted one that
refuses to receive these notes and pay them out
from their counters.
We 'wish to hear from our banks on tliis subject,
trusfing they will all come up and sustain the coun
try in its time of trial, and thus lend a mutual as
iistance to the Government,-to whose protection
they'are indebted for their franchise,
On this subject the Memphis Appeal has the fol-
lowing sensible and timely remarks:
THE POLICY JJi'D DUTY OF OFB BAKES.
In the nreaent state of public-affairs, it is diffi
cult to give a proper estimate to the importance of
the policy which shall be adopted by the monied
institutions of our country. In bone and muscle
and what is more than all in the fearful patriot-:
ism and stern determwittion ot our citizen soldiery
to connner or die the Ssouth lias an abundant sup
ply. In fact, we may say that an army ot better
lighting material was .never mustered into service.
In the material of war, too. the South has a sufficient
supply, or the means under way by which she can
b"e supplied. The great question now is, will our
banking institutions adopt the policy and recom
mendation of the bank convention .recently held at
Atlanta, Georgia. This convention requested the
banks of Tennessee, in connection with all other
banks in the Southern Confederacy, to receive at
par, as currency, and pay out the treasury notes
of the Confederate States. It is a self-evident
fact that the safety and security of our hank
ing institutions depend upon the success of our
great experiment now in process of solution, and it
is to these our country now looks for aid and suc
cor. We regard it as thei duty to come to the res
cne at once, and we are glad to know that the banks
of our city have all responded favorably to the
recommendation of the Atlanta convention. It re
mains for the mother banks at Nashville to make a
move in the right direction. Will they do it? We
regard the Treasury notes of tho Southern Confede
racy much safer for the people than the issue of
any particular bank. The amount of notes to be
issued is comparatively small, and would furnish a
medium of exchange between the different States,
and serve as a universal currency throughout the
Confederacy. In this view of the question, the
policy will be a great convenience to the public,
while it will prove of untold advantage to our
young Republic now, at a time when she stands
inost;in need of such aid as our monied institutions
caiaffbrd her.
Tho progress of opinion in England seems to be
in the direction of the recognition of the indepen
dence of the ConfederateStatcs.
A correspondent of tho London Shipping List
states that the British Government having conceded to
theConfederaleStaits the rights of belligerents and
tho Tights of the States to issue letters of marque,
wishes to know whether prizes can be brought into
British ports to lay .until they are condemned as
lawful prizes -by the Courts of the Confederate
States; He says:
The question has been argued upon principle in
the Supreme Court of the United States, and after
elaborate discussion, it has been finally adjudged
that a condemnation of prize property, while lying
in,a neutral port, or in the port of an ally, is valid,
and may be rightfully proceeded in by the courts
of the captors. (Hudson vs. Guester, 4 Cranch.,
Rep. 293, S.C-; C Cranch, 281; the Arabella and Ma-,
deiia, 2 Gall. Kepi, 368; Story; note to American
edition, p. 1C.
"From theoe extracts it would seem that, as the
law stands now, a privateer with letters of marque
issued bv Mr. President Davis, may take his prize
into any British or other neutral port gay in the
the West Indies, in the Pacific, or in European wa
ters, and, while lying there, have her legally con
demned by a prize court sitting in Charleston, New
Orleans or Mobile, the sentence of such court being
virtually binding upon our courts.
My object in claiming space for these remarks is
to elicit some decided and competent opinion as to
the real state of tho Jaw respecting una very im
portant subject, and cither to allay xague fears or
show clearly the dangerswe may have to guard
flgaint. Frederick Lehman.

To this the London Shipping List replies that the
British Government had conceded to the Confede
rate States the rights of belligerents, and that the
establishment of prize courts was a necessary inci
dent jHe further states that the right to carry captured
vessels into British ports, there to remain till con
demned, was settled maratime law in England and
AmjricS.
3Elf .tbis!benet an -acknowledgment of our indepen

And yet another slaughter of our citizens. No
pen can describe the intense excitement that now
pervades our community. Hundreds are running
in every direction innuirintr who's dead! At the
present writing it is impossible,to give the facts in
detail. Sufficient may be gained from the fallow
ing report to satisfy all concerning the facts of this
last tern oio massacre. At a quarter past ten
o'clock this morning. adetachment of U.S. volun
teers, or Home Guards, a part of McNeil's regi
ment, under command, as is alleged, of one Bisscll
or Bissick, proceeded from their quarters at Turn
er's Hall down Seventh. When immediately oppo
site the Recorder's court room, in the building oc
cupied by the Hook and Ladder Company, on
Seventh street, between Pino and Olive streets,
several bystanders, who had left tho Recorder's
Court rather hastily, to spo the soldiers, rushed out
on the sidewalk. Just at this juncture a soldier's
gun, in the extreme rear of the ranks, apparently
wnuo the holder was adjusting a cap, exploded ac
cidentally.
Immediately upon this, and it fs said without any
oruer being given, the troops commenced a murder
ous and promiscuous lire upon the crowd ot un
protected citizens who stood before them.. The
number of those killed, or their names, cannot be
correctly ascertained to-dav. The slaughtered fell
In every direction! Tho wail of the dying rang in
the ears of a startled people for blocks around.
Shriek after shriek went up to heaven, the rush for
places of safety .stifled dozens, and still the soldiers
Urea. J. he scene cannot be described, nay, hardly
imagined. Upon tho balcony, in front of the Recor
der's Court-room, Henry Frangel fell. Close by his
side, officer JN. SI. rratt, who has lor several years
been connected with the police orce, fell, pierced
through tho heart. Tho Recorder, sitting quietly at
his desk, entirely unconscious of the possibility of
trouble m the street, was suddenly surrrounded by
a storm of bullets. The window immediately be
hind was completely riddled by bullets. His desk
was shattered and rent by the flying lead, still,
providentially his life was spared. A prisoner, up
for some petty ollense, tell .dead at the docK. The
other prisoner, taking advantage of tho confusion,
fled from the building and escaped. When there was
no longer anybody in sight to shoot, the rattle of mus
ketry ceased, and there lay the dead, the dying and
the wounded, to be gazed at by the thousands of
horror-stricken citizens that soon congregated
around the spot where the massacre occurred.
In a few momeqts a body of police arrived on the
ground, and a short time afterwards a company of
regulars, under command of Capt. Sweeny. The
street for some distance around the engine house
was cleared, and the bodies of the killed and wound
ed removed. As near as we could ascertain seven
wer6 killed instantly, and a large number of others
badly wounded, several of whom, we are informed
by physicians in attendance, will probably die dur
ing the day. We saw two bodies, still in death,
which were literally torn to pieces by Minnie balls.
An Italian named Bougero, the proprietor of a sa
loon on the corner of Seventh and St. Charles street,
received two balls in the head, one of which tore
off his lower jaw. We are unable to state positive
ly any more of the names of the killed and wounded.
Many were taken to their homes by friends, and
their names will probably not transpire for several
days or at least until an inquest is held by the Cor
oner. When we left the scone of the massacre, the
firemen were engaged with their hoe3 in washing
away the pools of blood that made tbe side walks
look like the floor of a slaughter house. As we have
before intimated, the wildest excitement prevails.
The people in the immediate neighborhood of the
butchery are nearly speechless with terror. Many
of them are preparing to leave the city, as it is evi
dent from every circumstance the Uvea of none are
sale in the city.
Several of the wounded are now lying at the City
Hospital, and five of the dead bodies can be seen at
the Health Office. We shall be prepared to give
more of the details concerning this last terrible
massacre of our citizens to morrow. In the mean
time we trnst those who witnessed the affair will
hand their names in to the Coroner. We have to
ndd that in this instance not one man can be found
who has attempted, or will attempt, to palliate or
excuse, in the slightest particular, the butchery of
our citizens this morning.

its officers and such citizens as might chose to adopt
the provisions of the bill, and coupled as it was on
the part of the Legislature and the Governor with
oi,tinna hostile to its authority, and in sympa
thy with those who were arrayed in a condition of
actual hostility, against it, could leave no doubt of
its object. To carry out tne provisions oi mis ex

gave rise to an interview between Gen. Harney
and Gen. Price, that resulted in an agreement
which, it was hoped, would lead to the restoration
r .if,r,i,nite and irood order in your State. That
a repudiation of the military bill, and all efforts to

preserving the peace of Missouri, loyal citizens in
p-reat numbers continue to be driven from their
homes. It is immaterial whether these outrages
continue from inactivity or indisposition on the
nrt of the State authorities to prevent them, it is
enough that mey uunuuue, iuuctuhcuii juu tuc
duty of putting a stop to them summarily by the
force under yonr command, to be aided by such
troops as you'may require from Kansas, Iowa, and
Illinois. .
The professions of loyalty o the Union by the
State authorities of Missouri are not to bo relied
upon. They have already falsified thoir profes
sions loo often, and are too far committed to seces
sion to be admitted to your confidence, and you can
only be sure of their desisting from their wicked
purposes when it is not in meir power io prosecute
them. You will, therefore, he unceasingly watch
ful of their movements, and not permit the clamors
of their partizins, and opponents of the wise meas
ures already taken, to prevent you from checking
every movement against the Government, however
disguised under the pretended State authority.
The authority of the United States is paramount,
and whenever it is apparent that any movement,
whether by color of State authority "or not, is hos
tile, you will not hesitate to put a stop to it.

It is my design to carry out these instructions in
their letter and spirit. Their justice and propriety
will be appreciated by all those who take an en
lightened view of the relations of the citizens of
Missouri to the General Government, nor can such
policy be construed as at all disparaging to the
rights or dignity of the State of Missouri, or as in
fringing, in any sense, upon the individual liberty
of its citizens.
The recent proclamation of Gov. Jackson, by
which he has set at defiance the authorities of the
United States and urged you to make war upon
them, is but the consummation of his treasonable
purposes long indicated by his acts and expressed
opinions, and now made manifest If in suppress
ing these treasonable projects in carrying out the
policy of the Government and maintaining its dig
nity as above indicated, hostilities should unfortun
ately occur and unhappy consequences should fol
low, I would hope that all tbe aggravation of those
evils may bo diverted from tha innocent and may
fall only upon the heads of those by whom they
have been provoked.

There is erowinz dissatisfaction with Simon Cam

know what he is about. He talks economy, and
gets contracts at which lust sons can make fortunes

that are in the field. There will be a storm raised
directly, that will drive him out of tho Cabinet in

the War Department respectable.

Washington, June 18. Late last nieht Gen. Scott
received the following dispa'tch: I left camp accor-
uuig iviuau ubuuiw, nitu lilts iTSb IBIO Aegimem,
C68 strong, and went on an expedition to Falls
Church to patrol tha woods in- that direction. I
then proceeded to Vienna with four companies
Company E, Capt. Paddock, Company C, Lieutenant
Woodward, and was afterwards joined by Captain
Pcarce, Company G, Captain Bailey, Company H,
and Haztett total 272 men.
On turning the curve within a quarter of a milo
from Vienna, wo were fired uponby raking masked
batteries of, I think, three mms.'with shell, round
shot, and grape, killing and wounding' the men cn
the pianorm ot oneot the cars.
When tho train stopped I could not on account of
damage to some part of the runniDg machinery draw
the train out of the fire, the engine being in the
rear. We left the cars snd retired to the left of the
woods.
Finding that the enemy' batteries were sustained
by what appeared to be a regiment of infantry and
cavalry, which force we have since understood to
be 1,509 South Carolinians, we fell hack along the
Railroad, throwing out skirmishers on both flanks.
This was about 7 P. M. Then we retired slowly,
bearing off our wounded for five miles, to the Point,
which we reached at 10 o'clock. The following is a
list of the casualties: In Capt. Hatzell's Company
H, two arc known to be kliled. three wounded and
five missing.
Captain iBailey's company G, three killed,
two wounded and live missing. Captain Jad-
dock's company E, one officer slightly wound
ed, Company 0, Captain Pearce, two missing.
The engineer, wbea the men left the cars,
instead of retiring slowly as ordered, detached his
engine with one passenger car from the rest of the
disabled train, abandoned us. running to Alexan
dria, and we have heard nothing of him since. -Thus
wo were deprived of a rallying point and of all
means of convevine the wounded, who had to be
carrietLon litters and blankets We wait here hold
ing tho road for reinforcements. The enemy did
not pursue us.
I have ascertained that the enemy's force at
Fairfax Court House, four miles from Vienna, is
now about 4.000. When all the enemy's baJtenes
opened on us, Major Hughes was at his station on
the foremost platform car, Col. McCook was with
me in one of the passenger cars. Both of these offi
cers and many of the men, behaved most coollyun
der thegallingfire which we could not return, and
from batteries which we could not flank or turn from
the nature of the cround.
The approach to Vienna is through a deep cut in
the railroad. In leaving the cars, and ociore we
could rally, many of our men lost their haversacks
and blankets, but brought off all their muskets, ex
cept it miy be a few that were destroyed by the
enemy's hrst lire, or lost witn tncKiueu.
Fpedal Dkpatca to the Net? York Post.
There is great excitement here' over the bloody
affair which occurred yesterday at Vienna. Eight
of the Ohio soldiers who were shot by the rebels
have since died. Six expired last night and seven
others this mormnsr. No biame is attached to uen,
Schenck, the commander of the Federal troops, for
it is stated that he acted under tho positive orders
of Gen. Mc Dowcll. Col. Hunter's Third reeiment
of cavalry was ordered over to Vienna last nights
Uur pickets and outposts generally were oacs: last
erunuig.
Probably no further attempts will be made to ex
tend the railroad communication, and telegraph
lines along the Loudoun and Hampshire railroad
until the Federal. troops are strengthened by large
reinforcements.
Accounts from Arlington to day say that Cen
Schenck is now there, and that the attack was from
troops from Centreville ; it is thought with no ul
terior object.
Wasiunoton, June 18. The Ohio regiment which
was attacked at Vienna, was on the train for the
protection of a telegraph corps engaged in erecting
a telegraph line, and all were unaware of the mask
ed'batteries which were planted in the woods and
surrounding hills. Tho batteries are still there,
but it is understood that an attempt will be made
to take them during the day. Information has been
received here that one column of the rebel forces
at Mannassas Junction, is on the retreat towards Ac
quia. Another covering their movement by a pre
tended advance towards rairlax Lourt House.
Major Shermun, of the light artillery, gives the
opinion that the rebels are leaving their position at
Manassas Junction.
The Star has an extra from Conrad's Ferry, east
side of Montgomery, Maryland, dated the 17th, say
ing that the enemy have been practising upon us to
no purpose, from three or four six pounders plant
ed en the other side of the river. They have fired
many rounds at a portion of Col. Stone's command
stationed here. J. he total lorce ot tne enemy op
posite us, is about 800 strong. Their fire was re
turned from our rifled muskets by some twenty
picked marksmen, who, in the course of three
fires, brought down one of the enemy's gunritrs.

The despot at Washington acted wisely, no doubt,
in postponing the meeting of his Congress to so late
a period as the 4th of July, that its acts might he
merely "accessory after the fact" The New York
Courier and Enquirer, two or three weeks ago, indi
cated what Congress wag expected to do as follows:
Their duty, in our Judgment, is easily defined, and
a in be very rapidly discharged. Jt consists in doing
precisely ichat the Execullvt may ask of them, andnoih
Ing more. In the interim between this and the 4'h
of July, the President should have matured tl e
necessary bills to carry into effect his determination
to put down the existing Rebellion, and they should
consist as follows:
"A bill to authorize the necessary loan3.
"A bill to increase the army.
"A bill to increase the Navy.
"A hill to authorize the calling into service the
necessary number of volunteers, c, (fcc.
"A bill defining more accurately, Treason against
the United States, and punishing with death every
atlirr.pt to give aid or comfort to the Enemy.
"A bill making it obligatory on the part of every
Commander of a United States veseel, or vessel in

of Privateers fitted out by the Rebel Government,

"Such other bills having special relation to put

The extent' that Lincoln approves of these sug.
gestions may be inferred from the fact th'sfhe has
since appointed Mr, James Watson Wniiythe editor
of the Courier and Enquirer, to an important' foreign
mission.
But why should Congress take the trouble to do
all that is suggested ? These things have already
been done by Proclamation. The constitution ha3

if-there is any weakness, it will be, not In them, but
in, their rcpiesentatives. All observation of Amer

that popular intelligence on that point is ahead of
tho timidity of that demagogucism which is the
curse of our State Legislatures and of Congress.

"Of course, such a war as that ia which wo are
engaged, must bo carried on in part by tha use ef
credit, but credit is a wasteful expedient if it is
used too much, and if it is left unsustained by ade
quate revenues, It is by taxing roundly that money
can bo borrowed cheaply. The terms tddch Gov.
Cliase can make in WaU strett depend upon the show
ing he can make of his resources, and if Congress is
wiso ano nrm, tnese resources will bo equal to the
crisis. There is no limits to what is possible in that
respect, in a country like this, full of wealth, and
not less ready to pay than to fight, when the na
tional existence is at stake."
The Columbus (Ohio) (Hsis earnestly protests
against the policy indicated by Mr. Chase s organ.
That paper says :
"Wo shall be very much mistaken if a "Stamp
Tax" and a tax on --Tea and Coffee" will be the
only taxes that will bo required, to meet the interest
on the war debt accumulating at a rate never before
heard of, or thought of, in this country.
"The poor who learned to use tea and coffee as a
necessity, will not be satisfied to have the burdens
thrown upon them. There are rich men who use
articles ot luxury and who are the real instigators
of this war, that will be required that will be re
quired to bear a part of the burdens also, other
than the tea and coffee; they use. A poor man
drinks as many cups of coffee as a rich one, and a
poor woman as many cups ot tea as a rich woman.
Our system of taxation is based on property, not on
muscle on izealth not on stceaf .
"That money must be had and taxes must be
levied, we admit, and expect it; all these are necei
sary to the war now' fairly inaugurated, but let
those who have the property pay the taxes in this
as in other measures of expenditures. The poor
suffer enough from low wages and little work, and
the other casualties necessary to such exigencies.
They fill up the armies, offer their lives, but they
did not demand the war. They were ready and
willing to compromise our diffe'reuces, and save the
country and the expenses also.. But they were not
listened to, and now it would fie wrong to put the
burdens on them."

MECHANICS, TARMEKS AUD WOBEINQ SttS.
The attention of the enterprising and Industrious portion of
the commnnlty Is directed to. the following statements and lib
eral Inducements offered them by the
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY,
which, as tier will cetceiTe. will enable them, by nrcser entr-
cy, perseverance and Industry, to provide comfortable and per"
speaUn;, very little capital.
LANDS OF ILLINOIS.
Ifo State lathe Valley of the Mississippi offers so great an
Inducement to the settler as the Stata ot Illinois- Then is so
portion of the world where all of the conditions of climate and
soil o admirahly combine to produce thos two grtat staples,
Coax and Wmu-r, as the Prairies of Illinois.
SICIIROLLINQ PRAIRIE LAND3.
The deep rich loam of the prairies Is cultivated with such won
derful facility that the farmers of the Eastern and Middle States
are moving to Illinois In treat numbers. The area of Illinois
is about equal to that of England, and tbe soil is so rich that
it will support twenty millions of people. .
EASTERN AND, (SOUTHERN MARKETS. "
Theselarjdsarecontlguous'toa railroad 700- miles In, length,
which connects with other roads, and navigable lahes and riv
ers, thus atfordlng an unbroken communication with the Eastern
and Southern markets.
APPLICATION 07 CAPITALi
Thus far capita,' and labor have been applied to developing the
soil; the great resources ot the State In ceal and Iron are almost
untouched. The Invariable rule that the mechanic arts Sourish
best where food and fuel are cheapest, will follow at art- early
day in Illinois, and In tbe course ot the next ten years the natu
ral Jws arid necessities of the case warrant 'the belief that at
least five hundred thousand people will be engaged in the S tatel
of Illinois In the various manuucturlng employments.
RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS.
Over $100,000,000 of private capital have been expended on
the railroad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as part of the In
cone from several of these works, with a valuable public fund
Inlands, go t diminish the State Expenses, the TAXES ARK
IiIOiIT,and must, consequently, every day decrease.
THE STATE DEBT.
The State Debt Is onty J1D.103J93 H, and within the last
tire years has been reduced J2,a33,7'G SO; and we nuy reason
ably expect that In ten years it will become extinct.
PRESENT POPULATION.
The State Is rapidly filling up with population; 8G&VW1 per,
sons having been added since 1830, making the present popula
tion 1,719,193 a saUo of ICG per cent In 10 years.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
The Agricultural Products of Iltincis are greater than those
of any other State. The Products sert out during the past year
exceeded l-SCO,0(jO tuns. The wheat crop ot l60 approaches
35,0U0,IXX) at bushels, while the corn crop yields not less than
HO.OuO.WW bushels.
FERTILITY OP SOIL.
Nowhere can the industrious fanner secure such Immediate re
suits for his labor as upon these prairie soils, they being com -rosed
of a deep, ric1) loam, the fertility of which Is unsurpassed
by any on the globe.

EVIDENCES OP PROSPERITY.
A s an evidence of he thrift of Ihe people, Itmay be stated tha
600,000 tons of freight, including 8,600,000 bushels f grain
and 250,000 barrels of flour, were forwarded over the line last
year.
EDUCATION.
Mechanics andworkingmen will find tks free school system
encouraged by the State and endowed with a large revenue for
the support of schools Their children can live In sight of the
church and schoolhouses, and grow up with the prosperity of tha
leading State in the Great Western Empire.
