I PuNDiNe —We are a little surprised that the banks
'n this State have not all followed the example of those
! iu Richmond, by ooming to some definite determination
as to what th>'y will dc with the depositee of their cus
tomers on or before Ihe 1st of April, and by informing
the depositors of ihei: inientious Something they
will do, of oourse, for the bMiiks caunot be expected to
pay these deposites,—n.ade as they were in depreciated
ouri-enoy—in the better currency which we look for
after the 1st of April In RiohmoDd, the Banks agreed
tv> receive and pay out depesites till the 28th inst,
and after that to do nothing of the kind till after the
let of April, and to fund in 4 per cents all balances in
their hands after the 28th, giving notice to the depositors
that their balances will be paid in those 4 pet ccnts
This is right. If a depositor neglects to do it himself,
it i" well for the hank fo do if for him.
It is intimated that the amo’-int to be funded before
the’1st of April will he equal to about ten millions of
dollar? a day—entailine an infinite deal of labor upon
the DenoBitarics. Indeed it is questionable whether it
wilt be possible for tho.'e officers and their assistants to
count all this money. The matter will be t'acilHated.
probably, by nsing certified bank checks, such as the de
positary or tbe Tax coUeoior may be williQ)i' t^i receive,
U-aving the counting to be done more at leisure after
the 1st of April.
It is worthy of condideratiou however, whether a
holder of treasury notes who may not be ani:ious to
make a permanent investment in 4 per cents, would Mot
doqu-te as w>'ll to retain the notes and pay the tax on
them after the first of April of 33.1 per ’cnt That is
to say, retain all but what be will probably require to
pay tax-'s during the present year That much" he
ought tn fund; for the 4 per cent, bondo are roreivable
at par :» r taxes during all this year, whilst the notes
will not be «o receivable after the 1st of .\pril, (eicppt
the small notes, an I of»these thp 5’s will not h» u.ft*r
the 1st of .'uly )
New suppose a man has $10,IKK) over and above wbat
will be necessary lo pay this year’s taxei* Should he
get $10.0(»t) of 4 per cent, bonds for it. whai will these
probibly sell for? Thi.s 13 of course a rattier of doubt,
but we think they will t>ot probably sell for more than
two thinls of their face in the n^w currpncy; and if sc,
why not retain the notes and exchange them for two-
thirds of their face in the new i«»ue* In that event,
he would ha>(e thip consolation, that, without losing
anything himself, he has enabled Ihe government to
extinguish one-third of its debt for these noten
Tbe case is different with any one who dexires to
make an investment in bonds to be heli; for after the
war he will be entitled^o the full f«ce of hi? >f da

Labub Divn>itsi> —The Uauk of Cape Fe«r h”v« de
clared a dividend of 1^ per cent, payable on tbe 16th
just. T^i8 IS in anticipation of its u>ual d.videud of 6
pi*r c'-ut. ofTthe 1st of .N^ay, and !m uudertiood to be

i Ibe va'uP of tfce shares at the time of assessment an.!
in ihe neighborhood w>-ere assessed Our readers will
obee’-vc that fhe assessmout ha** uot yet been made. The
probability is, that between tbis time aud the »»t*ei>»ment,
bank shares will fall in value in the uiaikei, not only
because tbe curr ncy will uudouWedly have appreciated
before iba‘ time, «.ul also because, at t valuation in ac
cordance with recent sales, the tsxes would be wore
than the usual dividenJs of bank^. leaving the holder in
debt, in'^tead of realizing anything from bis inveotment
ForinetsDce: Bankejiares have been sold here at some 300
per cent A tax,of 5 per cent upon valuation would
be 16 per cent a yeat; whereas the entire divid nd.^ are
vifluaily 10 per c^nt. a ye»r man would tbus be rich
er,/or thf present, if he would giv*^ away hip sl'^ck, pro
vided h« could get anybo^ly to accept it T'~-e remedy
will doubtless be found in a lower assessment of the
value of share" If. even then, the tax should absorb
the dividends, as is likely, fhe stockholder wili hftve to
wait with patience MTI the end of tbe war and a reduc
tion of taxes
We understand that the a«essaient of the value of
stocks, &c , (all tb^t is required to be made this year,)
will not be made in this county till May Xbis is very
proper, as by that time values will probaMy havp set- i
tied down to some reasonable, standard. j
The State’s stock is of course not subject to Uiatiou.
Its 16 per cent, dividend will be some $76,000 lo
f100.000, we suppose.
Since the abeve was in type we have received tbe ad
vertisements of tbe Bank uf Cape Fear and the Bank of
Fayetteville.
British Nstitkalitv.-A good deal of surprise and
indignation are felt at the conduct of the British gov-
ernmer't in seizing tbe Confederate steamer Tuscaloosa
at Cape Town, and professing to hold her till claimed
by her Ifgal owners, meaning the yankees; and also at
the decision of a Court at St John’s, N. B , that the
captors of the yankee steatner Chesapeake are guiUy of
piracy and shciild be delivered up to the yankee au
thorities. ■The Tuecaloosa was captured by the Ala-
b>ma and fitted out as a Confederate cruizer by C»pt.
Semmes, who placed a Confederate Nival officer in com
mand of her Having put in to Cape Town for repairs
or supplies, ehe is seized by the British. The Chesa
peake is believed to have been a lawful prize of Confed-
erate'officers and men. And the idea of their surrender
to the yankees, probably for trial and execution, has,
we are glad to hea**, promptly aroused our gnvercmcnt.
We learn from the EichmoLd Whig that “a distinguish
ed legal gentleman is now on his way to New Bruns

and knowing her, would do iiiji slice to his own feelings
and to his ^pcreciatiiin of her virtues, if her life and
character di.i not feceive from him more than a pt^^sirg

careful in the n'anagement of her domestic affiirs, hos
pitablc and kind. Notady presided at her table irith

no superior Her care »s a mistress wac proved bv tl»n

might make them useful as well as or name nli»l members
•>f ('Ociefy, was worthy of all praise, aud consequently
. ;u bad the love and ocntidence cf her »diildren to a
i r.oft mmsual extent; and ihey esteemed it tueir chief
j joy fo minister to her comfort and happiness Ever
ready to exhort them to the performance of duty, she
would not suffer her anxious fears, or her overflowing
affection, tn come between then^ and duty In the last
ti-r i^he ever wrote fo one of her sons in ihe army,
after ti'lling V im of her disappointment in not seeing
him at Christmas, she adds, “but I wou'd not have you
my sou to think that I am not willing for you to be in
the army when your country needs y-'ur services,” no
although their comfort was her care, their absence from
home her great grief, she was willing if need be to give
them up and made it her pleasure fo 'nocurage thtm to
the cheerful performance of their duty. She had lived
ith her husband twenty seven years, and through all
that time, she wat* the tame modest. Irutht'ul, loving,
Christian wife. It was never inconvenient for her to
lainister to his comfort and she identified herself com
pletely with him; his friends were >^er friends and bis
interest and happiness hers In flftllction sho was his
stay £ind oorr-fort, and as the cloud was passing away
she saw and pointed out to him the first rays of light
and hope. Truthful and sincere herself she never heard
or uttered a slander; n«ver .said behind your back what
she was not willing to siry to yonr face. She possessed
all tbe frankness of a child, and her good sense and
strength of cbaractcr caubcd her whole family to be de
pendent on her. Her death was very sudden, the laes
senger came when no otte expected fcim; she bad no
time lo bid farewell to the loved ones who surrounded
her, but it was not needful; ihey the etriokon ones, hus
band and children, knew that her kr>)p was full of oil
and that when tbe cry ctmc “behola the bridegroom
oometb, go you out to meet him,” fb'it if was trimrrjcd
and lighted aud tbat.it Id now shining tn ihc Courts of
