Bringing Our Sheaves With Us.
BY MRS. E. A. C. AKERS.
The time for toil has past, and night has come,—
The last and saddest of the harvest-eves; /
Worn out with labor long and wearisome,
Drooping and faint, the reapers hasten home,
Each laden with his sheaves
Last of the laborers thy feet I gain, .
Lordof the harvest! and my spirit grieves
That I am burdened not so much with grain
As only with a heavier heart and brain ;
" Master, behold my sheaves!
Few, light and worthless—yet their trifling weight
Through all my frame a weary aching leaves ;
For long I struggled with my hopeless fate,—-
And stayed and toiled till it was dark and late,—
Yet these are allmy sheaves.
Full well I know I have more tar-es than wheat,—
Brambles and flowers, ry stalks and witherfd leaves.
Therefore I blush and weep, as at thy feet '
I kneel down reverentlyand repeat,
“ Master, behold my sheaves l"
I know these blossoms clustering heavily
With evening dew upon their folded leaves,
Can claim no value or utility.— _
Therefore shall fragrancy and beauty be
The glory of my sheaves.
So I do gather strength and hope anew ; .
For well I know thy patient love perceives
Not what I did, but what Igstrove to do,-
And though the full, ripe care be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves,

A scrap of History.
Apropos of the complaint of Gen. Sherman
that his correspondence with Gen. Johnston,
respecting the amnesty before. the capitulai
lion Of the rebel troops in North Carolina,
has been withheld from the public by the
Secretary of War, it is as well to relate the"
following incident, which carries with it
its own comment, and the truth of which
will net be questioned. Just before Gen.
Grant initiated his splendid campaign against
Vicksburg, in the Spring of 1863, and after
all the preparations had been made for
swinging loose from the'base Of supplies on
the Mississippi River, to make the circuitous
inland march, via. Jackson, Miss, to the
rear of Vicksburg, he was called upon by
Gen. Sherman, and spoken to as follows:
“Gen. Grant, I feel it to be my duty to say
that as a subordinate Officer 1 am bound to
give you my hearty cooperation in this move- '
ment; but having no faith in il. l h-cl it due
to my military repulafiofllo protest against
it in writing, and hope that my protest will
be forwarded by you to Washington.”
“Very Well, Sherman,” quietly replied the
Commanding General; “send along your
protest; I’ll take care of it."
The next day Gen. Grunt received Gen.
Sherman's paper, and the movement was
then initiated which culminated, in less than
three months, in the surrrender of Vicksburg
and its immense garrison. Prior, however,
to Pemberton’s capitulation, but after it was
morally certain that the rebel stronghold
must fall, Gen. Sherman rode up to Gen.
Grant’s headquarters one day, and found his
chief stretched on the ground beneath his
“fly” endeavoring to keep as cool as possible
in the sultry midsummer weather. They
were chatting pleasantly on the prospects of
the quickly approaching success, when Gen.
Grant’s Assistant Adjutant-General came up
and asked him for a certain paper of official
importance.
It is well known that Gen. Grant entered
upon the campaign without more “personal
' baggage than a tooth-brush,” and this ac-
counts for the .fact that his official records
were carried in the breast pocket of “his mili-
tary blouse. Taking a handful of documents
from this receptacle, be selected the one that
,had been asked for, and before putting the
rest away drew fortha second paper from
the pile. Then, turning to Sherman, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, he said: “By the
by, General, here is something which will
interest you." Sherman took it, and saw
the “protest” which a little more than two
months before he had handed to Gen. Grant
to be forwarded to Washington through the
proper channel. An expression, half aston-
ishment and half gratification, diffused itself
over Sherman’s war-Worn features, which
quickly changed to one of supreme satisfac-
tion when Gen. Grant took the ' paper from
his hand, and tearing it into small fragments
scattered them to the winds. No further al-
leaves are liable to the attack of tow insects. '
Bank Commldsioner’s Report.;
From theAnnual Report of the, State" Bank
Commissioners, to the General Assembly
now in session at Hartford, we'makc the fdl~

’ ' Owing to the change from the State to the
National system of banking, the Bank capital
of this State has been materially reduced d‘n-

Fourteen Banks have

By so doing, they have surrendered theirZ

change of twenty-three Banks, . 7,850,800
Present capital, , .. . . $13,073,850
The circulation of the Banks, ,now doing
business under the laws of this State, was, on .
the lat day Oprril, 1864, $7,852,828. On
the 1st day of April, 1865, $7,305,024, being
a decrease of $547, 804; and not varying
much from fifty-six per cent. of their capital.
Notwithstanding the advantages possessed
by the National Banks, in being allowed, fif-
teen per cent. more circulation on their cap-
ital than the State Banks, and no specie rc-
serve being required of them, the State Banks,
have kept their circulation. within the pale
Of the law, and are not therefore responsible
for any inflation of currency which may ex-
ist.
The present amount of specie held in the
vaults of the Banks of this State, on . the let
day of April, 1865, was $852,792,96; being
about 11 5-8 per cent. of their circulation.
In 1861, the Banks of this State reported
of past due paper, the sum of $705,667,551;
which consisted Of Stocks and Bonds, 01'
debts connected therewith; a large amount
of which was considered doubtful or worth-
less. .
A great proportion of these debts were the
fruits of illegitimate banking, discounting
paper promising large interest, but having
only a speculative value. By these transac-
tions,which will not be repeated by this gen-
Vcration of Bankers, an important and profit-
:lllll'. lesson was learned.
The aggregate amount of past due paper
rupm-u-ll on the lsrylay of April, 1865, was
$280,656. 31 : being a reduction of $425,011.
All lln: Bu ks, except turn, have made.

The tax paid to the State by the Banks
fur the year ending July lst,‘1865, was $32.-
258.69; licenses and tax paid the United
Slants the last three quarters, ending April
18'... $174,125.10; proportional tax for quar-
[er ending July, 1865, $58,041.70; amount-
ing to $264,424.49.
An not passed at the May Session, 1864,
making it obligatory upon Bank Officers to
stamp counterfeit and other had money, has
met with very general favOr among the State
Banks, and is having a salutary efiect in dri-
ving this spurious currency from the State.
‘ Forty-three Banks report having stamped
$12,903; and six Banks do not report hav-
ing stamped any.
We are sorry to say that some of the offi-
cers in the National Banks do not comply
with this law, claiming that they are not
amenable to this law. ‘ '
We differ from them in this opinion, and
hold, that this law is purely a police regula-
tion, laid upon a certain class of citizens, for
the public weal, and does not in any manner
interfere with their mode Or system of bank-
ing; nor does it contravene any law undér
which they do business; it is simply an act
to abate a public nuisance, the suppressiOn
of which all should favor. -
The aggregate amount of deposits in on
Savings Banks on the first day of January,
1865, according to their report
was, . . . $9,142,288.58
()u the first of January,
1864, it was, . . . 26,982,221.84
Increase during the you was $2,160,066.74
The market value of their assets, as report-
l-ei, was $31,087,14585, leaving a margin on
tliv amount due depositors of $1,944,857.27,
a fraction over 6 per cent. ,
Large‘iuvestments have also been made
in the United States Bonds, which have pro-
ved to be safe and profitableassets.
Of this class of bonds We find $6,941,650,
the market value of which is set down at
$7,109,648.
All the Banks, with but two exceptions,
hold a fair proportion of the same. ‘
The number of depositors reported J anna-
‘Iy lst, 1865, was $121,682; bcingan increase
duringthe year of $5,00l. The amount to
the credit of each varies from one dollar to
lwcnly~four thousand one hundred and
eighty-five dollars.
Ono Savings Bank has paid the last year,
free of tax, 6.1-2 per cent. ; twenty have
paid 6 per cent. ; Iiinehavc paid 5 1-2; . eigh-
teen have paid live; and one recently orga-
nized has not yet made a dividend.
Amount of tax paid to the
State was . . $178,310.77
Amount of tax paid to the
United States, . . 65,734.37
Total of taxes paid, . $244,045.14
After haviuguiadc a careful and thorough
examination of all the Banks, Saving Banks
and Building Associations, in the state, and
having IHIII all the information which we
could desire from the officers of these insti~
tutions, it gives us pleasure to say, that we
believe the Banks of Lonnecticut were never
found in a more prosperous, healthy, and
sound condition, since the Commission was
established, than at the present time. -
It is also equally true, that every branch of
industry in which the people of this State are
engaged, (with perhaps the exception of com-
merce.) was never so largely remuneratory
as during the last four years. These have.
emphatically been years of recuperation f'or
the Banks, and their success is but. the pul-
sation of general prosperity.
