and including the dividend due on the 1st inst.
The interest annually accruing in London, with
eight per cent exchange added, amounts to S80 -

year, the State Trea.^ury holds about S70,000 in

of coin from one or more of the banka to covcr
the deficiency- Alabama is determined to main

.1 Momm'Hh Hwindie.—The swindles of this
war arc carried on on as grand a scale as the War
itself—both exceed anything yet accomplished iu
tlieir respective lines. Capt. Oecie, an English
man, residing near the Mont^oiaerj White Sul
phur Springs, haa “recoguized” the Confederacy
—done it for the hanasH)ia« tigare of S1,2UU,00U
—aud sloped, liis operations were hales of bo
irus bills of sterling cxchai-ge. Tho Lynehbur«r
Virginian gives the following accotlnt of this
great s .>indie:
“‘The bills were disposeil. of to various mci-
chants and brokers of fiichiiiorid and other towu.
and oil being forwarded for collection the startlin"
the V'aukccH themselves, in full development ot
tboir long rupditated policy of conquering and
appropriating the South. Reconstruction is re-
pudiat* d, and by the, Congres.s of the United
States. Hy un overwhelming vote that body has
lately letcrmined that no ‘reaty whatever shall
be held with the Oof^ederate States, tr> re adjust
any tsrnis of peace or Union; but that we shall be
copqucred and subjected as rebels, and take the
fate of conquered rebels. Gar;ett Davis. » Sena
tor from Kuntucky. who, with the other I nion-
saviours of Kentucky, ha.s cheated that State into
helplessTtcss and subTT^is'’ton to Yankee rule, ve>o-
tUTes to question thi‘» policy, und he is rnamediate-
Iv threatened with expuJ:-ion from the Senate.
Hven he, om oi their most abject and submissive
tools, shrinks back with horror from their cruel
purposes of bloo'i ‘an - ovt-r the South
Whatever roay have been the folly of thei past,
may we uot hope tbit in North Carolin-a, as every
where Vise, this vain talk of peace, when thore is
uo peace with the yankee*, will uow end, aud cud
forever? Such Knguage now can uitan only tub-
Tuiasion to their conquest of u.^. J^eace on any
terms, means.su6mts.'»tou on nn^ lerrn*. }ior is
this all. The Tennesseeans and Kentuckians
have found out th:\t their yankee conquerors will
not I'^ave them a position of Dcutrality. They
•jLxe forced into the ranks of their army, and are
eoBipellcd to fijijtit with the yankecs for our sub-
Uijawion. Their eubmi.-^sion, therefore, involves
active Hiilitary service against U’S. Iu other words,
fficy muse Z»?com« fraiton^ to their State an^the
Confod*tracy, ot which their Statc.' are a part.
With such un alternative forced upon them, we
cannot hut hope that the Confederate States wil'
bo more united than they have ev«r hern in rc-
.linting, energetically and desperately, our demo
niacal and cruel foes. The pease of submission
isi pecuniary ruin and political death.

Food.—We again urge upon our planting
friends the policy and duty of preparing for a
bountiful crop of vegetables for their negroes.
There is not, bj a large amount, meat enough in
the Confederacy to allow full rations to the°army
and people, negroes included. The army must
be led, we all know, and the smoke-houses of
planters must furnish the subsistenco. The meat
ratipns of the negro must be reduced to at least
two pounds per week. With a plenty of vegeta-
bl« this is sufficient, or will do very well. With
out that addition the negroes wiil suffer. Let
every planter^ then, put in at least a half acre in
collards tc every ten hands. If he will manure
the ground highly, that half acre will be worth
to him a thousand dollars or more. Now is the
time to plant Ihem. Don’t min4 cold weather.
It woo t hurt them. In three months from to

Federal foraging train of ocventeen wagons, load

in ikis direciiou, and on 'I hursday had reacked
Cosby Creek; when, about i p. m., ho was attack
ed by a rsginient oi Federal cavalry. Gen. Vanoe
and about seveaty-five men were captured. The
Federais theu rcturued iu the direction of Knox
ville. lie had ordered Col. Thomaij, who was
some twenty miles distant, t© join him with a por
tion of his command at Co:sby; but for ?ome reason
his* orderS were not obeyed, iieniy’s cavalry
and our artillery passed the same place the next
day and reached Newport gafely. They learned
from the citizens that Gen. Vauce had been seat
to Knoxville.
The A.sheville News haa the following:—Cap
ture of Bri^. Gtn. Vuiice.—Some days since Gen.
Vance, with a part of Henry’s battalion and a
few men from Thomas’s Legion, started towards
Seviervilie, Tennofsee. At Gatlinsbur^ he left
his artillery and ail his men but about one hun
dred, dashed into Seviervilie, and captured a yaa
kee tram of seventeen wagons, with the teamsters
and wagen masters. Six hundred yankee cavalry

icformaHon wag of course promptly eommuoieated
of what Gen. Vance had done.
In the meantime Gen. V. pushed off towards
Ccteby with hie prize, stopping at Shalt’s Mill
about an hour, having sent a courier ordering the
men at Gatlinsburg to meet him there. This they
failed to do, stating that the route was impracti
cable for artillery. At the end of about an hour,
aud while Gan. Vauce’s men were entirely off
their guard, the yankees swept down upon ttiem,
taking them completely by surprise. A running
fight ensued, our men scattering in every direc
tion, and making a stand wherever a lew of them *
Could get together. Gien. Vance Valiied a little
squad, and after an ineffectual rosistaoee
overwhelming numbers, was captured, with his
Inspector General, Capt. L:!cius H. Smith, and
about thirty others. Majsr Charlie Roberta was
in the afiair, as was also Dr. W. H. Murdoch,
but escaped, with many others. Th® yankees re
captured their wagons, and also en« ambulance
and about fifty horses from Gea. Vance’s com
mand.
Col. Henry, with liis cavalry and artillpr*’
worked his way tnrougu the mountain?, an • "
ed over the battle ground the next day, an
of the information in regard to the cap* . ' '
Gen. Vance he obtained from people living on
spot. The yankees did not tarry long, but pHsh-
ed off as rapidly as possible.
These are substantially the facts as gathered
from the information received here by fe!ol. Pal

He says the yankees are committing many dep
redations, but yet generally leave every family a
full supcly of provisions for their own subsistance.
Tha Federals are in a perfect atew i*D regard to
their troops, whose time of service is about to
expire. It is thought that not more than fifty
to the regiment will re-enlist. They say they are
heartily sick of the war, and are determined to
go home aud quit the service.
The people of Middle Tennessee are very hope
