Vicksburg is the great pivot upon whichbangs the destinies of nations.all eyes are

« turned toward that point. We have not theleast doubt but that Vicksburg will stand, andjf so it will be a crisis in the present war.tbewar currant then must change. Vicksburg istbe most important position in the Confederacyand we believe is the most formidable one inthe world. One-half the troops now garrisonedat Vicksborg are sufficient for its defence.All tbe improvements of modern warfare that floats upon the water has been burledagainst this little city without the least hopeof success. The enemy embarrassed at tbe ill-...^vca»uy water tins undertaken ilp destruction iby a land force, co operating at the same time, Iwith the fleet in front; but the rear of Vjcksburg has natural defences ten thousand timesstronger than human skill can er*ct-~Lfaey werebuilt by the hand of a Being that directs thedownfall and uprisings of nations."Thus farfibalt thou go and no farther." May it not bethat Vicksbarg with its natural fortificationswere formed by the Supreme Aehitect of theUniverse far tbefunction It is now performing!' Who knows! Time ere long will tell the tale.Gen. Grant with the flower of tfce Noi themarmy has <nad« several of the most desperate' and daring assaults upon these Natural Works,only to spill, unrewarded, the life blood ofnmu w,wu to oi),uw or bit beet troops, whileoar loss did sot exceed 600 men.still the oarii'agegoes on.

DISASTROUS FRE8HET.A very disastrous freshet fell in the neighborhoodof this place on last Saturday ni.litand Sunday -morning. Some of the streams

were higher than ever known to have been be-sore. The corn on the bottom lands wag in anice growing condition.a great deal of whichw«b washed up by the roots or covered witheand ; a great deal of wheat, almost ready forthe harvest, was destroyed in like manner.We learn that the heavy rain was confined toa small territorj-, consequcntl}' the amountdamngedone has not been alarming; a fbw individual?,however, hare su(TV»red materially.-

junn MILTON McCORD.Jno. Milton McC«>rd, of Captain Johnson'scompany, IstS. C. Cavalry, died at a privatehouse, near Culpepper C. II., Va , on the 31stof January, last. This young man when hejoined the ranks of his company had just turnedthe seventeenth }-ear of hisuge. lie enduredthe hardships common to ihc soldier and faithfullyperformed the duties without a murmur,lie had gained the utmost confidence and esteemof his Captain and commanding officersby his punctuality in executing the duties hewas called upon to perform. In fact, he wasa favorite, we learn, among the officers whenever particular commands were to be carriedout. He was a young man of frail constitutionj -i .1."..ivi oiiumj inter a severe exposure, for severaldays oij the banks of the Rappahannock, Ihefatal disease, typhoid pneumonia, made him itavictim. He lay sick in camp several Haya beforehe wa» removed to Mr. Dunkersou's, aprivate house, near Culpepper, whete he sufleredthe tortnes of ilie diaeaso for twenty-oneJays, bub not without the careful attention oftwo brothers who- administered to-his wants,(lis remains arrived here on last Thursday'strain, and his funcml services performed onlast Saitirday by Rev. Dr. Turner, and werere-interred lit Long Caue Grave yard. Thisyouthful soldier auetninel an irreproachablemoral character and had enlisted the good will[>f his tellow soldiers. Thus has passed awayanother of Abbeville's youthful and heroic'dcfendersof Southern liberty.

THE CURRENCY.We publish in to days issue an article, under

the head of "Financial," which we direct theattention of our readers, clipped from the RichmondDaily Fxsmintr. Every person shouldr ad it, who have Con federate Tieasury noteson hand, and-net accordingly. The provisionrilade by Congress for the fuudihgof particularissues iias been extensively published in ourpapers throughout the Confederacy and thosewho' suffer the notes to depreciate in theirpossession cannot blame the Government, orthe pre»8 of our country for not giving sufi'.*nierltwarning.The redundant circulation has already been

decreased considerably by the funding in 8percent Bonds.and there will be agrsatci1 rushlor the 7 per cent Bonds and the circulationmaterially" reduced ; from the effcctr of whichweanticipate n general tumbling in prices ofmany articles ol necessity. We sincerely hopeit will have a talutnry effect generally. Thecourse the Richmond Banks pursued seems tous anything but commendable. Had all theBunks of the Southern Confjdoracy refused, asthe llichmoiid Banks did, not to receive on depos'tuotrgbearing date prior to the 1st December,1BG2, an unnecessary panic throughoutthe country would lmve been the result.Every persort has ample time lo fund hia notesand tluse who do not must suffer the consequence.There are m> douhf. nmnu no^»r.r.«

J I .

who have a very small amount of the issuesalluded to and who cannot afford to hold theBonds.those persons should at once exchanges ich notes with persons who are anxious toinvent in the 7 per cent Bonds.

FINANCIAL.The following article we clip from the DailyRichmond Examiner of the 11th inst., wliioh

will be read with interest, by those who haveon hand Confederate Treasury notes,.it containsall the information desired in relation tothe funding of Treasury notes:.

The Money Market..The marked feature ofthe money 'market is the notice given by theSecretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of theplan of Congress, in relation to the funding'ofits notes. The notice is to the following effect:All Treasury notes issued prior to 6th April, |idoj, are miiciauie fn seven per cent, bonds untiltlie 1st of August next inclusive. Afterthat date all notes bearing dat« prior to tbe 1stof Decfrober, 1862, cease to be fundable inmy stock, Note# bearing date between tb«1st December, 18G2, and the 6th April, 1863,can be funded in seven per. cent, bonds anytime on or before the latol August, 1863, afterwhich time they are fundable onty io fouF pereent bonds. Notes bearing date on and afterthe 6th April, 1869, are fuudablein rx per cent.l»ouds if presented within one year from- thefirst day of the month printed acroeatbeir face;./v.. <I~j »«-

.wit year m«?y ore lunoaDle only in foarpnr cent, bonds. Treasury notes issued underthe act of 16th May, 1861, and entitled to befunded in eight per cent, bonds, payable in tenyears, must be presented on or before the Slitday of July, or they will be debarred the privilegeof being funded. Bo great« disparityin the value as exists in the Government bonds.bearing, respectively, four, ttx, teuen, eight,peraeoC.must bring coufussion apoo oar currency.Such varying values in the note* Issuedby the Government are productive mf advantageto none but those who speculate io GoteramsatMcurjties, and are aalealated to embavaea the ordinary traasaelions of commauities.We see this already in the racent actionof the Richmond banka resolving that aAaryesterday (the lOtb) they shall reoaiva on dapositto-day none of the. Confederate notesbearing data prior to Urnfiftl of DtotKbw IMS.>uu m« oonwqatDet > the depr«ai*U»a of this:Um tiotM^-they beings* k>sg»r "ImmwmUa"with the banks io this city. I* striking cot)Lrart with this 1IHber*1^nd dsngerons policy

ot the Richmond banks is the action of thebanks of Lynchhurg and Petersburg, v/hiohhave delnrinitied to continue to reccivo and payout the old issue. It is to be hoped that thereis patriotism enough witli the banks of Richmondto rescind-their resolution when they seethe financial disaster that must ensue from tliorejection of so large a portion of our curreno)'.The amount of old issun now afloat in theConfederacy falls little short, it is estimated,of one hundred and fifty millions. It remainsto be seen how much of these notes repudiatedby tho Richmond banks cau be ubsorbed bythe funding at seven per cent, till the first ofAugust. The fewer that are afloat the bet.ter for the people; but it is very clear thatthey are to lose considerably in any eventTllev »r* in . » .» «-- . -----

... _ ih nic uuuusor peoplewho are not able to fund them, an<l whowill be compelled to pay them out or sell them.The time which ha6 elapsed since the plan ofcoercing their holders to fund them-was put inforce is too brief to allow us to come to anyother conclusion. It seems to be M»e duty ofthe people, if the Richmond banks shall adhereto their resolution of discrediting and deprecialing the currency, to meet together and havea free and full interchange of views upon thebest policy to be pursued. It has been proposedthat the merchants and tradesmen agreeto receive a proportion not exceeding fifty percent, of old Treasury ti>>t«8 in the aettlemeut oiclaims. If this be done, public cenfidence inthe old notes w ill be restored, and they willcontinue to he mud as currency, at par, untilthe last of August, by which time, the colleolionof the wtir lax will have commenced, anda mentis of rapid absorption afford ed leaving,in the judgment of parties well informedin financial matters, but a email (ft-oportionof the old iasuc in circulation after thefirst of August. This process would cause butlittle embarrassment in the departments oftrade. The nraount of notes ironed since December1st, 1862, to 1st June (between 250 andKanO rmn nnii\ 1 1 *
