It is ownerly 144, in 1844, its price was 31; during the first Empire, at an epoch, it is true, when it did not imply as many hands even in proportion as it does now its price was as high as 81d; but since 1820 is has not been as high as it is now; even in 1826, it reached only 121, and in 1886 it attained but 13d," The announcement made in the Western papers of the utter bankruptcy of the Federal treasure and Northern banks has not taken Europe by surprise, as such an event was long ago foreseen and predicted; but, nevertheless, the news has given a heavy blow to confidence in the Federal Government.

rved; for there was not in the city a human being who had done more good for the last thirty-six years. Had Sister Regis been a man, endowed with the same amount of energy and business aptitude, she would have achieved an uncommon fame in any station of life. Being a woman and a sister of Charity, she was contented with being a model of devotedness and this bounded energy to other women, and the pattern of everything that is pure, virtuous and lovely for her companions. In the year 1826, when she was twenty-two years old, Sister Regis joined the Sisters of Charity. She came to New Orleans in 1856, and a few men the after her arrival was known among us as an extraordinary woman, who knew no obstacle whatever in the execution of any plan suggested to her by a spirit of charity — always on the look-out. Successively she established the camp Street Asylum, the St. Elizabeth Asylum, the St. Vincent Infant Asylum, (on Magenine street,) and an Orphan Asylum in Carrolton. Were we

From some of the Northern papers we take sketches of three of the Federal Generals, commencing with the unhappy. Brigadier-General Silas Casey. Brigadier-General Silas Casey commanded the advance division at the battle of Fair Oaks. --General Casey was born in Rhode Island about the year 1806; entered West Point in 1822; graduated in 1826, and entered the Seventh infantry; was promoted to First Lieutenant in June, 1836, and Captain in July, 1839. In the Florida war Captain Casey served with distinction under General Worth. He served also throughout the Mexican war, and added still further to his reputation for gallantry. At Contreras and Churubusco be distinguished himself, and received the braver of Major. At the assault on Chapuitepec he led the storming party, and was severely wounded. For this he received the brevet o

A Prophetic book. Those indefatigable publishers. West & Johnston, have reproduced another book, which is having a great run, and, what is better, deserves to have it, "The Portican Leader," that celebrated novel published by the late Judge Beverly Tucker in 1826 and which so marvelously applies to current events that some persons, not acquainted with its have seemed to suspect that it must have been gotten up since the beginning of the present war. It is a shrilling and powerful narrative, but most wonderful in its character as "a tale of the future," new literally fulfilled. The present edition," is edited by Rev. Thos. A. Ware. For sale by West & Johnson.

suggestions were, in succession, declined by our Government, and this decision was each time approved by the judgment of the American people. Which is thus exposed: But this is not the only blunder. Mr. Seward affirms that the invitation to the United States to join the Congress of the Spanish States of America just liberated, was declined by our Government. Now it so happens, and Mr. Seward is old enough to remember it, that just the reverse is the fact, for the invitation, in 1826, was accepted by our Government, and ministers were appointed and actually went on their errand. This the files of his own department would tell him all about. This is blunder number two. The criticism concludes as follows: We have space for but one other remark, and that we make interrogatory. Mr. Seward has, as we all know, published huge volumes of diplomacy, and left no corner of the world and no period of his times unilluminated. But it seems there is one dark cranny--one

--The painful news of the death of this distinguished officer and statesman was announced in this paper yesterday. He died at 6 A. M., on Wednesday, the 26th inst., the anniversary of the battle of Cross Lanes, in Nicholas county, the first of his Western Virginia campaign, in which the enemy was completely routed. He was born in Montgomery county, (in that part which is now Pulaski county,) in 1803, and was therefore in his 58th year. He graduated at Columbia College, South Carolina, in 1826, and was admitted to the bar in 1828. After a short residence at Helena, Ark., he returned to Virginia and settled in Abingdon, Washington county, where he died. He was elected to the House of Delegates in 1847, and again in 1849, in which year he was elected by the Legislature Governor of Virginia for the term expiring January 1st, 1853. In 55 he was again elected to the Legislature. In '56 he was a Presidential elector, and voted for James Buchanan, by whom he was appointed Secretary of

New type. --The Dispatch is renewing itself with a new suit of types; and a noticeable fact in regard to them is that they were manufactured in London. We believe they are the first English type brought to this city from London since 1826, when the late Mr. Ritchie, of the Enquirer, imported a font for his paper. Since then up to the war the Yankees supplied the South with types. We are gratified at being able to lead off with the English manufacture now, and will be yet more pleased, after the war, to dress our paper up in types made here in Richmond. Indeed, a foundry was in existence here when the war began, and our paper was then printed on Richmond-made type; but the founder was a Yankee, and went off through the lines under the promise to return and bring some articles much needed by publishers and the Government, but he never came back.

o him as farmer or gardener, yet, thanks to walks and garden-work of Strawberry Hill, lived to the same age. Philip Milles was an octogenarian. Lord Kames was aged thirty-seven at his death (1782). Arthur Young, though struggling with blindness in his later years, had accumulated such stock of vitality by his out-door life as to bridge him well over into the present century: he died in 1820, aged seventy-nine. Parson Trusler, notwithstanding his apothecary-schooling, lived to be eighty. In 1826 died Joseph Cradock of the 'Village Memoirs,' and a devoted horticulturist, aged eighty-five. Three years after, (1820,) Sir Uvedale Prite bade final adieu to his delightful seat of Foxley, at the age of eighty-three. Sir John Sinclair lived fairly into our own time, (1835,) and was eighty-one at his death. William Speechley, whom Johnson calls the best gardener of his time, and who established the first effective system of hot-house culture for pines in England, died in 1819, aged eighty-s
