Extract from s letter of an officer.

The Late Fight at Fort Pickens.Fort Piokens, Nov. 2.

Ttie lontr agony is, I hope, over, andwell over. We have had as much suc-cess as we could reasonably hope for,and with much less loss and damagethan I could ha\e expected. We wereunder a continuous and heavy lire from:he posts and batteries of tho enemy,fourteen or fifteen in number, for twodays, with a loss of only one privatekilled, and one sergeant, one corporaland four privates wounded, and whichis singular but one man was hurt onthe ramparts, the most exposed place.

You can have some idea of the a-mount of fire we gave and receivedwhen I tell you we consumed fiftyhousands pounds of powder, and that.hree guns were fired every minuteor two days. The avalanche of shottnd shell was terrible, but our soldierslid their duty as Union soldiers fight-ng for their country, should, and mostibly did officers and men perform theirvhole duty.

The Navy, unfortunately, could not;ive UP the assistance we expected, in

consequence of drawing too much waterand we therefore failed in the greatbject of our hopes, the capture of?ort McKae.

About two-thirds of Warrenton isjurned, and although we cannot see it,'. think as much of Woolsej', a villagenorth of'the Novy-yard ; and a goodiiitny buildings in the yard are burned

and the remainder must be shattered)y the heavy shot and shell so unceas-nglv poured upon them.

Two steamers, the Time and Brad-ord, had become particularly obnox-oue to our soldiers, who ardently

desired to destroy them, but Bragg,afraid of losing them, always kept theuiat night at Peneacola, and only sentthem down when loaded. At nineo'clock they accordingly came steamingdown, little dreaming of the salutationthat awaited them. The Time is oneof those three story Mississippi steam-ers, pictures of which you see in chil-dren's books, and the Brafdord is amull low gun boat. We waited untilthey had both fastened to the wharfand" let oft tlieir steam, when the wordwas given to fire, and fire did- belchforth simultaneously from twenty guns.We were immediately enveloped insmoke, and so continued for an hour ;when at length we could see, wo foundthe Time still there, but the Bradfordhad gone.

The former continued exposed toour fire all day, and was probablyruined, but her hull being only a scow,we could not sink her, and at nightshe was towed off.

The Old Sailor Parson.Thero died in Cleveland, O ,

years ;igo, an old Oampbellite preachsinamed Samuel Kidd. lie had beeknown long in that vicinity as a maof retired habits, and withal exceedingIy eccentric in bis manners. Siitnmoand winter he wore the same black oa|on his head, aud carried about willhim the same thick stuff—a stick thamust have been equal in bulk to tinclub of Hercules. He never seemecto notice any one, but kept talking tihimself, and gesturing ns ho walkedand ever and anon he would be seento stoop and pick a pin from the sidewalk, or, so sure as he crossed a pieceof greensward, the dandelions thatgrew in the grass. Such, indeed; washis passion for these humble blossomsthat so long as their season lasted, honever returned from his walks withoutcarrying all his buttonholes full of them.The wags of the day used to nicknamehim " Elder Dandelion."

Being very familiar with the Scriptares, he rarc-ly expressed himeeUwithout a quottttion from them, andgenerally, when any one asked him aquestion, he finished off his reply witha text that would be sure to mak'2 hisinterrogator remember it. Sometimes,it is true, the force of tho applicationdepended on a pun, or on the meredrollery of it, but he commonly an-swered a fool according to his folly,and inquisitive people, who showed adisposition to tease him, for the mostpart went away wkh the impressionthat he had as much wisdom ae wit.

One day a ianatic, named PeteriTiith, who had figured at camp

meetings as an exhorter, and made nolitile trouble in several churches wherehe had intruded himself, accosted theolder, as lie was passing in the street,with his usual formula against doctrinalpreaching:

" The old Israelites in their best daysj only one way of thinking. Why

were they not always qarreung andfighting among themselves as thesedoctrine churches are ? "

" I think," returned the elder, ratherruffly, " that you must find the reason

in the 13th chapter of 1st Samuel:Now thero was no Smith fo ind

throughout all the land of Israel.'"At another time he was assailed bycertain sectarian who poured forth a

tirado of abuse upon " revivals,'''sensation-preaching," and religious

stir, and ended by challenging him toproduce an instance out of all scriptureof a strolling evangelist.

"Jesus Christ is the first instancethat occurs to me, sir," replied Kidd." God's church in the world, when hefound it, was just like your sect—stagnant as the Dead Sea. WhatChrist did for it then, his avangelists

Report of the Secretary ofthe Treasury.

The following comprises the most im-portant portions of the annual report ofthe Secretary of the Treasury:

Once a ease of scandal occurred inthe village where the elder was stop-ping, and while the gossip consequentupon it was at its height, a peddler,who had canvassed nearly the wholeparish without making a "'trade," methim with the question, " Where be allyour women folks in this place?"

" I reckon you'll find them all,"answered the eccentric parson, ''downat the sewing society, in the brownfarm-house, under the hill. CP lost her reputation day beforeyesterday, and I suppose they're goneto attend its funeral. ' Where the car-cass is tliere will the eagles be gatheredtogether.'

"Bro. Kidd," said he, "it seems aittle too much like forcing matters toaall you and your denomination theLord's sheep. You take to the watertoo kindly, and that isn't tho nature ofthe animal. You're more like ducks;but we don't hear anything in scriptureabout ' the ducks of the house oihrafil.' ' My duoki hear my voice,' "&c.

"No," replied tho elder, "but Isuppose our sect is alluded to in thesixth chapter of Canticles, as one ofthe particular ornaments of the church:'A flock of sheep which go up from thewashing, whereof every one bearethtwins; and there is aot one barren oneamong them.' When :ny sheep get tobe as unproductive as" the flocks ofsome shepherds that I know, it will betime enough to give them anothername."— Watchman aud Reflector.

A TRUK WOMAN.—Tho World's Wash-ington correspondent relates the follow-

I was told to-day of a marvelous in-stance of escape of a prisoner capturedby the enemy. He was a member ofthe secoud Regiment of Vermont. Af-ter the buttle he was placed in a tent,lie noticed he was not guarded, andwatching an opportunity, effectedescape into the woods near by. Hemade his way to near Leesburg, andfamishing for want of food, asked a wo-man to give him-something to eat.

"You are a Federal soldier I see" saidthe woman,

" I am," he replied and went on toexplain about his being taken prisoner,and how he escaped.

'' Have you a mother ?"" I have."" I will give you food and save you,"

said the lady : " a son of mine in the reb-el army has been taken prisoner, and Ihave the feeling of a mother for you."

She at once gave him a hat aud suitof clothes belonging to her husband, whis a miller, and through this disguise heworked his way outside the enemy's linesand thence to this city. He now wearsthe hat aud suit about town.

RECEIPTS OF REVENUES FROM DUTIES.

While success thus complete has sor attended the measures relating toans, the Secretary regrets to say thatIC receipts of revenue from duties haveot as yet fulfilled the expectations in-ulged at the date of his July report.At the date of his report, the Secre-

ry counted on a revenue from customs,for the financial year, 1862, of fiftyseven millions of dollars, but circum-stances now constrain him to reduce thisestimate to $32,198,602 55.

The receipts from customs for the firstquarter, ending the 30th Septemberwere 87,198,602 55; while the receiptsfor the three remaining quarters cannotbo safely estimated at more than |25,-000,000, making the aggregate for theyear the sum just mentioned, of §32,-198,602 55.

TAND RECEIPTS.

The estimates of receipts from-lands-aud miscellaneous sources must also bereduced front |3,©00,000 to §2,354,06289, of which $354,062 89 were receivedduring the quarter ending 30th Septemher, 1861, and 82,000,000 are the es-timated receipts of the three remainingquarters.

DTRBCT TAX.

The only other source of revenuewhich promises an addition to the re-sources of the year is the direct tax au-thorized by Congress, from which, if increased to the limit proposed by theSecretary, and assumed by the States,the further sum of §20,000,000 may beexpected.

The aggregate of revenue from allsources may, therefore, bo estimated at354,552,665 44, which is less by $25,-447,334 56 than the estimate of July.

* * * * * *THE COST OF THE ARMY EXCEEDS THE

ESTIMATES.

These estimates, it will be remember-ed, contemplated expenditures in all de-partments, and for all objects, to theamount of $318,519,581 87. Of thissum 1185,296,397 19 were for additioualappropriations required by the Depart-nent of War, and $17,652,105 09 forppropviations already made for that de-jartment. The basis of the estimates'or these additional appropriations wasthe understanding that it would bo ne-icssary to bring into the field, for thesuppression of the rebellion, two hundredand fifty thousand volunteers, in placeof the seventy-five thousand draftedmilitia originally called out, and to in-irease the regular army by the addition

of eleven new regiments, making a totalforce, including the regular army alreadyorganized, of about three hundred thou-sand men. Congress, animated by thesame desire for a short and decisive con-test, went beyond this recommendationof the President, and authorized the ac-ceptance of volunteers in such numbers,not exceeding five hundred thousand, ashe might deem necessary.

The action of Congress, therefore, con-templated the employment, if necessary,"of a force, including the existing regulararmy, of about five hundred aud fiftythousand men;

* * * * *THE CAUSE INCREASED NUMBER

WEN IN THE u. S. SERVICE.

This large increase of the army iumen and officers, and the liberal addi-tions made by Congress for pay and rations, have augmented, and must neces-sarily augment expenditure far beyondthe limit indicated by tho original esti-mates; and the limits must be still fur-ther extended by the additional sumsrequired for the increase of the navy,and for other objects.

DUTIES ON TEA, COFPEE AND SUGAR TOBE INCREASED, BUT NO OTHER AL-TERATION MADE IN THE TARIFF.

The Secretary begs leave to recommend that the duties on ten, coffee ancsugar be increased to the rates heretoforeproposed ; that is to say, to two and onehalf gents on brown sugar; to threecents on clayed sugar ; to twenty conbper pound on green tea, and to five centsper pound on eoft'eo ; and that no otheralterations of t h e tariff be made gthe present session of Congress, unless

l.T.W TAXES PROPOSED.

In the judgment of the Secretary, itwill be necessary to increase the directtax so as to produce from the loyal Statesalone a revenue of at least twenty mil-lions of dollars, and to lay such duties onstills and distilled liquors, on tobacco, onbank notes, on carriages, on legac&tt, on-paper evidences of debt and instrumentsfor conveyance of property, and otherlike subjects of taxation, as will producean equal additional sum The existingprovision for :ui income tax, just in itsprinciple, inasmuch as it requires largestcontributions from largest means, may,possibly, and if somewhat modified will,probably, produce ten millions of dollarsmore. The aggregate taxation will thusamount to fifty millions of dollars,

NINETY MILLION'S OX DOLLAKS NECES-SARY FOR THE CURRENT VL'AR.

* * * * * *

But if the sum is large the means oftho people are also large, and the objectto be attained by a consecration of a por-tion of them to the public Berrioe ispriceless. The real property of the loyalStates is valued, in round numbers, atseven and a half thousands of milllionsthe personal property at three and a halfthousands of millions, and the annualsurplus earnings of the loyal peope atnot less than three hundred million of,dollars. Four mills on euch dollar, ortwo fifths of one per cent, on the real andpersonal property of the loyal States willproduce forty four millions of dollars, towhich sum the proposed income tax will

robably add ten millions. Tho wholesum will be little more than one-sixth of;he surplus earnings of the country, * *

THE BEST JIEANS OF PROSECUTING THE

WAR.

To enable the Government to obtainhe necessary means for prosecuting thevar to a successful issue, without unne-cessary co.-! is a problem which mustengage tho most careful attention of the

gThe Secretary has given to this pro-

1cm the best consideration in his power,and now begs leave to submit to Con-gress the result of his reflectionsTHE PAPER CURRNCY CF THE COUNTRY.

The circulation of the bunks of theUnited States, on the ltt day of Jnncary,1801, was computed to be $203,000,767.Of this circulation §150,000,000, inround numbers, was in States now loyal,acluding Western Virginia, and $60,-

000,000 in the rebellious States. Thewhole, of this circulation constitutes aoan without interest from the people to,he banks, costing them nothing except:he expense of issue and redemption and;hc ointerest on the specie kepi on handfor the latter purpose; and it deservesconsideration whether sound policy doesnote rquire that the advantages of thisoan be transferred, in part at least, fromthe banks, representing only the inter-est! of the stockholders, to the Govern-ment, representing the aggregate inter- ists of the whole people.

IUKK CUKREN'CV UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

It has been well questioned bv thamost eminent statesmen whether a cur-rency of bank notes, issued by local in-stitutions under State laws, is not, infact, prohibited by the national consti-

tual safeguard is possible, against dopreciation; and of protection from losses indiscounts and exchanges.

THE SECURITY OF THE UNIOBY IT.

A further and important advantage tothe people may be reasonably expected intha increased security of the Union,spriEg-iog from tho common interest in its pre-set vation, created by the distribution ofits stocks to associations throughout thecountry, as the basis of their circulation.

A NATIONAL CURRENCY.

The Secretary entertains the opinionthat if a credit circulation in any form bedeftirabie, it is most desirable in this.The notes thus issued acd secured would,in his judgment, form the safest currencywhich this country has ever enjoyed, whiletltoir receivability for all government dues,except customs, would make them, where-ever payable, of equal value as a currencyin every part of the Union.

For the first quarter of the current fis-cal year, commencing 1st July, 1861, thereceipts and expenditure are ascertained,and for the remaining three quarters,coding 30th June, 1862, are estimated asfollows:

For the first quarter the ac-tual receipts from customs,lands, And miscellaneoussources, including the bal-lanee of #2.257,065 80 were $9,809,731 21

THE LAKQEST CIRCULATION OF TILLS 13FROM INSOLVENT BANKS.

In the judgment of tho Seereiarj thetime has arrived when Oongress shouldexercise this authority. The value of theexisting ban'-note circulation depend,! outhe lawn of thirty-four States and thecharacter of some sixteen hundred privatecorporations. It k usually famished ingreatest proportions bv institutions of lotistactual capita!. Circulation, commonly, isin the ii,versa ratiu of solvency.

I', is the part of wisdom, however, tobo prepared for all eventualities, and theSecretary, therefore, submits the estimatesof the several departments for the fiscalyear 1863, based on the supposed con-tinuance of the war, as follows:

OPERATIONS OF THE MINT.

The operations of the Mint during thelast year wore large beyond precedent.—The net amount of bullion received was$72,146,571 01 ; the amount coined was:of pold coirs, |C0.694,237; of silver coins$2,G05,VOO; of cent coins, $101,GOO; ofgold bars, $20,015,163 64; and of silverbars, $278,006 94; making the totalcoinage of the year ^83,693,707 58. Lfthe bullion deposited, §54,149,865 32were received at the Assay Office in NewYork; of the gold bars, &19,048,758 88,and of the silver $187,078 63, in value,were stamped at the s:ur,e office. Of$799,923,862 14, the entire coinage sincethe establishment of the Mint, $520,000,-000 have been coined from bullion derivedfrom mines of the United States.

THE COIN IN THE UNITED STATES.

No moans exist of ascertaining, withabsolute certainty the quantity of coin nowin the United States; but the best acces-sible data lead the Secretary to concur inthe judgment of tha Director of the Mint,hat the amonnt is between two hundredind seventy-five millions and throe hun-Ired millions of dollars.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Prom the Londoi? Times' elaborateeditorial we select the following;

" It requires a strong effort of stlf-res-raint to discuss with coolness the intelli-gence we publish to-day. An Englishnail steamer, sailing under the Britishlag, and carrying letters and passengersYoni a Spanish port to England, has beeutopped on the high seas and overhauled,''our of the passengers have been takenut aud carried off as prisoners, claiming,

and vainly c.aiming, as they were beingbreed away, tbe protection of the flag ofjreat Britain. These are tbe nakedacts. The intention of the Federal Gov-'rmnent evidently was to act, upon theirtiict right, and to do so in as litile cere-nonious a manner as might be. If they

justified by tlieir rights as belligerentsn what they have done, the ruanuor ofloing it is a mere question of good or badaste. They insist upon putting their|tianel upon the same ground as if tbe

Queen of England were putliug down aebeliion in the Isle of V7ight. Now, ifhis were so, it is clear tbsit the Federal

States of America have, in stopping ournail steamer, been guilty of an act of ag-

greseion which could be properly punishedby laying an embargo on every Americanship in British ports, and sweeping theirlittle navy from tbe sow. They wouU,accouling to their point of view, not to beat war, and would have none of the rightsof belligerents over neutrals. I ut thisassumption of the Federal Governmenthas been disallowed. The world hasgenerally refused to see in this disruption

/ n d reconstitution of the North AmericanRepublic a mere rebellion. We have re-cognized both republics as belligerent Sta-tes. We declare neutrality between themas between two waning- powers. Wemete out a precise degree of equal con-sideration for the ships of war of each.—In averythipg but our diplomacy we tearourselv'^j exactly equal between them.Whenever tbe-Southem Stf.tes s-lmll havegiven proof of' such stability as may makeit sure that they can sustain their inde-pendence we chall doubtless recognizethem diplomatic-ally, m we iilre.-uly do defacto, 'lii-j is the test applied by allwriters on international law. To support:: claim to enU.-r i:Ho the comity ofnatioa*the only proof required of any people isthat they are able to make their independ-ence respected. Kings and Emperots,and even Dukes and Electors, have some-times Noised to recognize the governmentfor the time being, of England, or Franco,or Italy, but only to their owu ultimateridicule. Wo liave already recognizedthese Confederate States us a belligerentpower, and wo shall, •when the time cornearecognize their government. Thereforewe have imposed upon ourselves all theduties and inconveniences of a power neu-tral between two belligerents.

If we had recognized the ConfederateStales we apprehend that we should havebeen perfectly justiiled in taking theseambassadors on board cur own vessels ofwar ami bringing them to England with-out in any way forfeiting our character asneutrals. But, even if it were necessaryto admit that these gentlemen were iu abelligerent or contra*bnnd character onboard the English vessel, it is, we believethe opinion of very eminent jurists thatthis WSJ not a <ju sfion to be adjudicatedon by a naval officer and four boats' crows.The iegal course would have been to taketbe ship itself into port aud to take stepsfor lipr condemnation, or for the condem-nation of tho passengers, in :\ Court ofAih-iiiality. The result might, no doubt,have been the same, but if the proceedipgwag irregular we have surely a right todemand that these prisoners shall be res-tored.

Donation to the University.The Horace White Collection of Medallions

Tho following communication fromour fellow-citizen, Prof. A. D. WIIITK,

to the Regents of tbe University, attheir recent session, explains itself:To the Honorable the Board of Regents :

GBHTLHMBU—I desire to presentthrough you to tho University the col-lfaction of medallion?, numbering about1,500 specimens, cast by Eicbler, ot

^ Berlin, recently imported by me, andnow arranged in the terra-colta room

t of the museum. The collection com-prises:

First—A selection of casts from thecollection of sculptured gornn in tbeRoyal Museum at Berlin. At my re-quest Mr. Eiehler has selected fromthat famous collection 450 specimenswhich, in his judgment, combine thegreatest artistic merit, with the great-est interest to the classical scholar andthe student of ancient history.

Mr. E'cbler has added to the useful-ness of the geina he hr.s ehooeH bynumbering each specimen to correspondwith tbe full description given in thecatalogue drawn up by Wincholbaun atthe order of the Russian government.This catalogue al^o worked to facili-tate reference to the collection I desireto present.

The second division of the collectioncomprises a complete reproduction ofMr. Eichler's series of medieval andearly modern {Ilenaiscsanc) medals.—Of these there are about six hundred.Among them will be found a largenumber of works from the hands ofsuch celebrated artists as Pisanus,Pictor, Bolder, De Pastia, Benevenu-to, and Cellini. These furnish au in-teresting series for the study ol theprogress oi ait during the last fourcenturies, but their chief use will befound in their connection with thestudy of general history. The greaternumber of the medals are portraits ofnoted historical personages, sculpturedin their honor and during their lives.

A large number, too, are casts ofcommemorative medals, struck imme-diately ;,fter famous historical events.I may mention here that the greattruggle so nobly described in the

works of our countryman Motley, iavery fully illustrated.

About throe hundred of these Eich-er catalogued fully, with ample histor-oal references, and I desire to thankProf. Brunnow for extending the use-fulness of this catalogue by an excel-lent translation. T,he remaining me-dallions in this division, owing to Eich-lor's sudden illness were loft nneata-logucd. I have ordered, however, fromParis, at no expense to tho University,tho French " Treasury of Numisma-tics and Sculpture," in whoso twentyfolio volumes I hope to find ample aidin identifying tho remainder, whichwere mainly struck during the time oftho Reformation.

Tho third division of the collectionembraces nearly two hundred casts,arranged in the direct intention of aid-thestudent of Modern History.

Pirst in this division is a completeseries of the Popes from Martin theFifth, elected by the Council of Con-stantino, down to Pious IX, inclusive,'ihese are arranged in" chronologicalorder, The wholu eenes id dividedinto centuries, and each country is sep-arated from those before and after it

Seeond—In this division comes a fullseries of the Emperors of Germany,from Frederic III. to Francis VI,with whom the German Empire endedand the Austrian Empire began.

Third—In this division is a series o(the sovereigns of France, from CharlesVI. to Napoleon III, inclusive.

Fourth—A series of the sovereignsof England, from Henry VII, to Vic-toria inclusive.

Fifth—A series of tha sovereigns ofPrussia.

Sixth—The sovereigns of Saxony.Seventh—The sovereigns of Russia,

from the rise of the present dynasty.Eighth—The sovereigns oi Poland.Ninth—The sovereigns of Sweden.It should be remembered tlat none

of these portraits are ideal or imaginary.Each is from an authentic medal orcoin struck in the time of the personrepresented.

It is believed that this collection, asarranged, will do much toward familiar- ,I2ing students with Modem Chronolo-gy, making it something more than thodry, repulsive skoleton which it toooften becomes, will add to the vivid-ness of historical presentation, will aidin grouping events about tho knowl-edge of persons.

To further these objects, I desire toprosent Eichler's catalogue of theseseries with additions of my own.

The fourth division of the collectioncomprises nbout two hundred and fiftyauthentic medallion portraits, mainly ofpersons noted in the history of the pastsis centuries, including our own cen-tury. As these wore portraits of mendistinguished in departments and eventsof every kind, some difficulty arose aalo the mode of their arrangement. Itwas finally decided to separate them bycenturies—to set each character in thatcentury in which his main work wasdone—and to arrange the portraits ineach century alphabetically.

Of these I have prepared a prelimi-nary catalogue, giving birth date anddeath-date of each person. It is be-lieved that this division also will stimu-late to historical study, and :iitl in it.

In regard to tho authenticity of theseportraits, I quote from EicMer's Cata-logue, published in 1817:

"The great number of portraitsw'ai.h the gallery now contains, maycause some persona to suspect that theworks aro of a mechanical sort, withoutreliability and without artistic merit.

"This is not at all the case. In theirpreparation have been used only suchcoin?, casts, or sculptured originals a»belonged to the lands and tirnos in Iwhich the persons represented lived,and such, also, as were made by themost noted contemporary artists. Therich treasures of the Royal Museum,also of several private collections havobeen opened, and have given a rareopportunity for using the works of themost noted sculptors of the last fourcenturies, in producing this gallery ofportraits.

" Tho undersigned (Kichler) has formany years spared neither trouble norexpense in taking casts of noted worksin foreign museums which might aid incompleting his collection.

" It is believed, then, that the collec-tion will be found satisfactory both inregard to the artistic perfection of thework aud tho reliability of the por-traits."

The fifth division comprises a miscel-laneous collection of very large medall-ions, portraita of the Italian "find Ger-man poets, f.nd ol some noted rioroes*,among tho rest reproductions of llou-don's Washington, Canova'a Napoleon,and Rauch's Blucher.

At no period of our history hasher friendship been of more importanceto our people ; at no period has our Gov-ernment been in a condition to makegreater concessions to preserve it.

Cur. of the Dot. Free Press.The Michigan Fusileers in Kentucky.

Louisville, Ky., Dec. 18.For the information of those interested

in the Michigan soldiers, I scud a briefnotice of the departure from Marshall ofthe First Regiment Michigan Engineersand Mechanics, for the field of action inKentucky. Each company had its fullcomplement, beside an Artillery Compa-ny partly tilled, making an aggregate of1.0S7 men.

Punctual to notice given, the reveillewas sounded at 5 A. M. , Tuesday ; break-fast was called at 5.J A. M. The regi-ment was formed aud took up its line ofmarch through the principal streets ofthe ci'y, eliciting the admiration of allwho witnessed their soldier-like bearingand deportment, and arrived at the depotat five minutes before eight. After alittle detention, they were quietly andcomfortably seated, filling twenty-twocoaches. At 10J o'clock the train, con-sisting of twenty seven cars, left tho depot amid the waving of handkerchiefs andthe deafening applauso of the citizens ofMarshall.

At Battle Creek tlicro was a largedelegation of citizens to cheer the regi-ment on their way to the .scene of action.At Kalamazoo a like greeting was ex-tended to them, and also at Niles andMichigan City. Indeed, during thewholu night, as the train passed tho dif-ferent stations in Indiana, tho cheeringhurrah was frequently heard. At 10 1-2o'clock A. M., Wednesday, the train ar-rived at. Joffersonville, oo the oppositesidaof the Ohio lliver from Louisville,without the slightest accident to mar thepleasuro of tiie trip. After remainingat tjeffersonville sufficient time to havetheir haversacks replenished with rations,they crossed tho ferry aud marched tothe southern part of the city and pitchedtheir tents, awaiting further orders fromGeneral ]5uell, tho officer in command.

At Louisville, they were received withrejoicings, aud with many words of praise,and we venture to assert that they willeotapare favorably with any regimentencamped Lere at present.

AmoJ! tie pleasing incidents connect-ed with tkelr departure from Marshall,was the presentation of a bouquet to theChaplain of the regiment, with the following reference to Isaiah 8, 12. doubtlessintending it as a text for the first sormoniu camp.

P. S.—Sinco penning the above welearn that a train preceded that convey-ing tho soldiers on which were the equipments of tho regiment — sixteen army•wagons, eighty-four horses, a part of theartillery battery with fifty horses, andfive horses belonging to officers. These,«s .contrasted with those from otherStates, bore a very favorable comparison.

It is also due to tho managers of theMichigan Contral Railroad to say thatthese heavy trains were run from Mar-shall to Jeffersonvillo in twenty-fourhours, with but one accident, not of avery serious character, and that supposedto be from individual carelessness'.

Thefiring was kept up some three-quarters ofan hour, when the enemy retreated rapid

Of course, thereis much that is irritating and vexatiousin the exorcise of this right under themost favorable circumstances, and it isto be hoped the day is not far distantwhen the maritime States of the worldwill agree in placing neutral commercebeyond the reach of such vexations.—Tho United States Government has beenstriving to this end for more than fiftyyears; to this end, early in the presentcentury aud its infancy as a nation, itembarked in a war, with the greatest uav-al power in the world, and it is even nowa persistent suitor at every maritimeCourt in Europe fora more liberal recog-tion of the rights of neutrals than, theother great maritime nations have yetbeen disposed to make. But until these ly, our fire being to hot for them. Ourrights are secured by proper international j troops stood up bravely under the sharpguarantees upon a comprehensive and en-

COM. CuAr.i.K.s STEWART, U. S. N\—The Secretary of the Navy is under-stood to be in favor of raising thisveteran commodore, familiarly knowna* "OKI Ironsides," to the rank ofadmiral. Properly speaking; as yet hois only a captain, which i« tho highestrank in our navy, the title commodorebeing one of courtesy, given pro tern, toa eaptain commanding a squadron. InJanuary, 1857, an act of Congressproroded that officers commandingsquadron* should henceforth bo calledfl.tg officers, thus abolishing the titleof commodore.

during basis, of course England cannotcomplain of an act for which in all itsmaterial bearing her own naval historyaffords such numerous precedents.

Whether the captives from the Trentwere contraband of war or not, is a ques-tion which the two Governments canhave no serious difficulty in agreeing up-on. If Mr. Seward cannot satisfy EarlRussell that they were, I have no doubtEarl Russell will be able to satisfy Mr.Seward that they were not. If theywere, as all authorities concur in admit-ting, ageuts of the rebellion, it will bedifficult to satisfy impartial minds thatthey were any less contraband than a fileof rebel soldiers or a battery of hostilecannon.

But even should there be a difference)f opiniou upon this point, it is very clearthat our Government had sufficientgrounds for presuming itself in the right,to escape the suspicion ot having wanton-ly violated the relations of amity whichthe two countries profess a desire to pre-serve and cultivate.

The pretence that we ought to havetaken the Trent into port, and had hercondemned by a Prize Court, in order tojustify our seizure of four of her passen-gers, furnishes a very narrow basis onwhich to fix a serious controversy betweentwo great nations. Stated in other words,an offence would have beeu less if it hadbeen greater. The wrong done to theBritish flag would have been mitigated if,instead of seizing the four rebels, we hadseized the ship, detained all her passen-gers for weeks, and confiscated her cargo-I am not surprised that Capt. Wilkeatook a different view of his duty, and ofwhat was due to the friendly relationswhich subsisted between the two Govern-ments. The renowned common sonso ofthe English people, I believe, will approve of iiis effort to make the dischargeof a very unpleasant duly as little vexa-tious as possible to all innocent parties.

If, under these circumstances, Englandshould deem it her duty, in tho interestsof civilization, to insist upon the restora-tion of tho men taken from under theprotection of her flag, it will be from aconviction, without doubt, that the lawof nations in regard to the rights of neu-trals, which she has takea the leadingpart in establishing, requires revision,and with a suitable disposition on herpart to establish those rights upon a just,humble and philosophical basis. Indeed,I am happy to sco an intimation iu cneof the leading metropolitan journals,which goes far to justify this inference.Referring to the decisions of the EnglishAdmiralty Courts, now quoted in defenceof the seizure of the American rebels onboard the Trent, the London Times ofNov 28, says:

"So far as the authorities go. tho testiinony of international law writers is allone way, that a belligerent war cruiserhas the right to stop and visit and searchauy merchant ship upon tho high seas• • * But it must be rememberedthat these decisions were given under cir

vollevs of the rebels. Their steadinesswas praised by Gon. MoCall and his oificers. The rebels took the direction ofFairfax Court House, leaving on tho fielda number of their killed and wounded.—Our troops pursued them a short distanceand returned. Several bodies of thorebels were picked up and fifteen woun-ded prisoners were taken. General Ordcaptured eight prisoners and two caissonswith ammunition. In their haste theenemy left behind arms of all descrip-tions, clothing, &c. Their loss is esti-mated at 15U killed and wounded.—Among their killed was Colonel Thilor,of Frankfort, and commander of the 1stKentucky Regiment of the rebels. Theforces of the enemy consisted of three in-fantry regiments, 1st and 11th Kentucky,and lOth Alabama, with a cavalry regi-ment and a battery, all commanded byCol. J. II. Forney of the 10th Alabama,acting Brigadier General. ' The deadrebels were left on the field. The losson our side wero six killed and eightwounded, most of whom belonged to theBucktails. Col. Kane received a slightwound. At 8 o'clock P. M. our troopsreturned to camp bringing in fifty wagon-loads of forage."

has not before that chronicled our ownjourneying to tho home to which allmortals are tending—peace may havedrawned upon our now distractedcountry, nnd families and States bereunited. In the meantime lot every manand woman do their duty, to themselves,to each other, and to their country,and trust the consequences with Gon.Saying this much, we wish all ourfriends A HAPPY NEW YBAB, and go

hopefully forward in our labors.

We have received a circularfrom tho " Michigan Soldiers' Iltlief As-sociation, Washington, D. C.,'' the organ-ization of which we noticed in a recentissue. This circular states that " here-tofore articles intended for tho benefit ofour soldiers have been long delayed inreaching their destination, and, in somoinstances, as is believed, they havo beenlost altogether." To remedy this evilso far as the Michigan soldiers are con-cerned, the Michigan men in Washingtonhave organized an association, and estab-lished an office for the reception and dis-tribution of donations to soldiers iu anyof the Michigan regiments quartered ator near Washington. Tho circular says:" We have a depot in tho Patent Officebuilding, under the direction of Messrs.J. B. Bloss aud M. E. N. Howell, whowill visit the Express office each day, andtake chargo of all packages directed toMichigan soldiers aud such as may be di-rected to a particular regiment, company,or individual, will at once be sent for-ward to the.r intended destination." Italso makes the following important an-nouncement, which aid societies shouldbear iu mind: "Arrangements have beenmade with Adams & Co's Express forthe free transportation of all donations toour soldiers—but to secure this freetransportation, the packages must, in allcases, be marked thus: ' J)onati<n forMichigan Soldiers; care of the MichiganSoldiers' Relief Association, Washington,D.

Gen, Phelps' Proclamation.The Now York Times makes tho

following comments on tho lato procla-mation of General Phelps at ShipIsland :

" Tho proclamation issued by Gen.Phelps on reaching tho Louisianacoast will bo subjected to severe criticism. That, officer, declining to beguided by similar documents promul-gated by leaders ot preceding expedi-tions into rebel territory, has announcedhis mission to be the substitution byforce of free for slave labor; and hasjustified his conviction of duty byconstitutional discussions and bistoiioalprecedents, curiously out of place in amilitary announcement. In no act ofCongress, in no orders from the WarDepartment, nor in the practice of theGovernment in its conduct of the warthus far, could Gen. Phelps find au-thority for the line of policy bo pre-scribes for himself; and he can hardlyplaad the absence; of explicit instruc-tions ns justifying chit* extreme licenseof interpretation. The war, ho muRtbe aware, is not made for the objectswhich he names. He misrepresentsthe aims of the Government, preciselyas the mopt malignant secessionist ofthe South misrepresents them; a coin-cidence which cannot but bo productiveof mischievous nnd embarrassing re-sults. Locally, tho proclamation willtall harmless. It is hardly likely toinako its way bevond the unp-jopledislands of tho neighborhood.

DEAR BnoTiir.r. :—

Just three months ago last eveningI \\a3 frworn into tho CJnited Statesservice for three yearn, bid good-by toMielrgiin, and started for Washington.These months hare gone, that is by thoAlmanac; but tho timo scorns short,very short tome, and I can hardly realizethat three months havo passed sjneelbid my friends in Ann Arbor good-by,but it is so. The most of that timehas been spent upon this hill, and itbegins to be p. great deal like home. Ibegin to have an affection for it. I be-gin to I-ive this spot, and probably it isttswetl that I do, for in all likelihoodwe sbnli havo to spend tho winter here.

I havo just moved my quarters,from the tent of Orderly Cook to thatof Corporal Gilland, which is at thecorner of First and Barry streets, justopposite to my old residence, andsomewhat plenannter. There are onlyeleven occupants, "besides myself.—Should you. or any of my friends, evercoma here, I should be very happy fohave you call on me. You can easilyfind my residence by inquiring ofMajor Welch.

This is the most pleasant wenlher Iever saw at this season of the year.To clay it is comfortable sitting aroundwithout your coat on. Yon have noidea how beautiful it is. It is hard torealize, to-day, that it is winter.

I sea by tho proceedings of Congressthat they aro trying to abolish -theSutler system in tho regiments. Itwill bo a good thing when they do,for if thero ever was a pack of swin-dler*, thieves or robbers, just as younre a mind 10 nave it, Sutlers are.- —They are not human beings. Every-thing they sell they chargo and getnearly if not double its value. Hereis the price of some things. Our sutlersells pies for 20 cts. a piece; one quarterof a mile from here you can buy themfor 12J cents; cheese at 20 cents perpound, near by you can got it for 14cents per pound ; butter 30 cents, oftraders out side of tho lines of thecamp, 25 cents; black tea $1.25 perpound, at a house near by you canget it for 75 cents, and everything elseat the same rato. Now, there are agreat many little articles the soldierwants that he cannot get outside ofthe lines to purchase; and ho is underthe necessity of getting them at thesutlers; besides this, there are manythings that a soldier could get alongwithout, but which tho sutler keeps,and, therefore, they purchase, payinghim double prise. What is this butliterally, robing the soldier of his hardearned wages ?

In one of my letters I mentioned achurch, a short distance from here,that wns being destroyed. For awhilea guard was stationed there to protectthe frame. Last week the guard WASwithdrawn, and to-day not a timber isleft to mark tho spot where it stood.The grove, too, which surrounded it isfast disappearing, and soon not a treewill stand on that once beautiful spot.

Our titno is still spent in drilling,but they are gradually easing upon us.One day last week Hon. Mr. CHANDLER

visited our camp, and my tent. '1 henest day I was called out of my tentby Major Welch, who introduced me toMr. Etntnons, of Dfelroitfwho broughtmo news from home. I was very thankful for tho call.

With the exception of a severe coldI am well.

Hon. Geo. W. Jones, formerlyU. S. Senator from Iowa, and lateMinister to Bogota, was arrested atWashington, on Friday last, by orderof Secretary Sewtird, and sent toFort Lafayette. Ho is charged, wobelieve, wi[h having written sympa-thetic letters to Jeff. Davis.

If England, as wo are here encouragedto hope, is disposed to do her part instripping war of half its horrors by ac-cepting the policy long and persistentlyurged upon her by our Government, andcommended by every principle of justiceand humanity, she will find no ground, inthe visit of the Trent, for controver-sy with our Government.

Washington, Dec. 18, 18G1.Tho English complication conies upou

us in this our hour of sore tribulation,while wo are engaged in a contest, themagni-fieence of which no chronicle re-cords. Wo aro in a struggle which in-volves our life aud our liberty—our hap-piness as ;•. people, and our existence as aGovernment, Wo have thrown everydollar we possess—our own Jives, and tholives of those we love—into this struggle.And now, when on the point of crushingthis infamous serpent of Secession, GreatBritain appears upon the scone, and men-aces us with destruction. It is as thougha strong man, engaged in a death-strugglewith a foe, finds himself stabbed in theback by an insidious friend, who takes:advantage of his misfortune to consnm-mate his assassination. While othernations gaze with awe, and most of themwith earnest sympathy, upon the conflictof our people with a gang of robbers,England helps the robbers, and drawsthe dagger upon our country !

England knows she is strong. This isonr hour of weakness, aud she may makeit her opportunity to strike. She cannow bs arrogant ,ind insulting, for nowher arrogance and insult cannot bo resen-ted. The Northern coast is exposed toher large and powerful navy ; our town'sare not fortified, and she may bring deso-lation upon our people and our manufac-turing interests. All this she knows.—Htr armaments are large and well ap-pointed ; her army has been increasedalmost to a war footing; she is prepared0 throw large bodies of troops into the{astern and Northern portions of onrlepublic; Canada is filled with armednen, and tho frontiers of Canada areimply so many garrisons. Our coni-oerce is at her mercy. In the Mexicanulf there is a large British fleet, which•ould render our newly gained strongolds on the Southern coast untenable,nd accomplish the destruction of the>rave men at Port Royal, Hattcras, and?anta Rosa Island. She may break ourilockade, and entirely nullify our expe-ditionary operations With the Poto-iac virtually blockaded, and an immensermy under Bcauregard iu our rear,Washington would probably fall. Withhe Chesapeake Bay open to any navyhat may choose to enter ; with a disloy-1 population in Maryland; with enemieslong the Virginia and Atlantic coasts

England could precipitate a fearful scriesif disasters, and, perhaps, with the aidif the Southern armies, turn the bloodyide of war upon the Northern States.

I t may be in all these grave considera-ions, and the sad necessities of the ease,hat, in order to avoid a war which couldinly end in our discomfiture, the Admin-strati on may be compelled to concedeho demands of England, and, perhaps,••clcase Messrs. Mason and Slidell. Godorbid !—but in a crisis like this we must

adapt ourselves to stern circumstances,rod yield every feeling of pride to main-ain our existence. If this contingency

should ever arrive—and I am only speclisting upou a disagreeable possibility—hen let us swear—not only to ourselves,

but our children who come after us—to•epay this greedy, insolent, and cowardy Power with the retribution of a justand fearful vengeance. If England, inour time of distress, makes herself ourfoe, and offers to bo our assassin, w* willtreat her as a foe when we can do so un-trammeled and uumenaced by anotherenemy.

Thero are several methods by which tobaffle England if she is disposed to takepait against the cause of Civilized Free-dom on this continent. If CaptainWilkes has erred, it was only by follow-ing British authority. We can offerto replace the rebel envoys on board theTrent, and then have that vessel convey-ed, with its " contraband " cargo, to aneutral port, aud tried according to theBritish construction of international law.Or we can say that no offence was inten-ded to England (as none was intended)in the detention of the Trent, but that,in arresting two notorious traitors bentupon destroying our glorious Government,we felt that what we did was preciselywhat Englaud would have done under thesame circumstances. Or, with thesepropositions and protestations, we can of-fer to submit the whole case to the arbitration of Russia or France, or both to-gether. Should the British Governmentaccept any ono of these suggestions orexplanations, the case can readily be ad-justed. Should she relusc, thero can bebut one judgment dronounccd. She willforfeit the respect of every civilizedGovernment on earth. But whether sheaccepts or rejects them, this much iswritten in the Book of Fate—thai if shhas attempted to embarrass or to assail theUnited States in their present mighty trouble,she has made eternal foes of all the loyalmillions of Amerka and their posterity for-ever.

If we do concede the demands ofEngland, however, it will only be because

Of course in our is-olated position we cannot know all thedifficult aspects in which the questionwill present itself. We can only judgeof acts that come under our observation,and reason that the same rule that willexchange one prisoner will exchangean army. I admit we are anxiouson the subject and we have cause tobe; humanity prompts and justice de-mands it. I believe I speak the senti-ments of all hero when I say, wo do notwish to embarrass the action of our gov-ernment in the least; but we cannot un-derstand how a full exchange will domore injury than acts already done.—We believe belligerents can be rccognizodwithout involving independence. Surelythe war cannot continue for years, oreven months, longer without this questionbecoming so important that it must bemet aud an exchange effjetcd ; then whydelay what must inevitably be? We en-listed to serve our country, and, if neces-sary, die for it, but we would prefer adifferent death from the one awaiting ushere. I can not say all I would, for ob-vious reasons ; but I can say w7e arc suf-fering from neglect; so much so that itis the subject c>f newspaper paragraphshere and elsewhere. It makes my faceburn to read them, and think that overfour mouths have passed and nothing donefor our relief. We have frequently heardthat clothing was to be sent to us, butwinter has come, and no clothing hascome, but sickness has. It has been saidthe Confederates sent the most destituteto the far south from motives of humani-ty ; however that may be, I saw some gowithout shirts, and many without shoesor socks; and even some with drawersand no pants. I am sorry to say this,and perhaps my doing so will preventthis reaching you, but I trust it will notI may be treading on forbidden ground,but will say that 1 believe this would notbe if clothing could bo obtained hero—itcan not iu sufficient quantities. South-ern troops are clothed by contributionsfrom home, of home-made cloth. Thosewho h;»ve means to purchase can findlimited quantities at extravagantly highprices, beyond the means of most of us.Clothing can be sent safely. The Massa-chusetts men, having been hero but sixweeks have already been supplied withfull outlits from their friends at home.—Can not government send as well as they?The Confederates have recently furnishedquilts as substitutes for blankets, whichcould not bo obtained, and straw sacks,which is some improvement; but we stillneed blankets and clothing, especiallypants, shirts, drawers, socks and shoes —I am sorry to trouble you with this mat-ter, but thinking your position would en-able vou to do much, I venture to do so.If we are to remain here and governmentdoes not speedily provide for our wants,will you please call tho attention of suchcitizens of Michigan as may be in Wash-ington to this matter. I know that anappeal to the people of our State wouldbo promptly met, aud I feel assured thatour state would havo been attended toere this had in beeu known that it wasrequired and could be done. What isdone should be at once.

Very respectfully voura,M. A. TARK3.

" Tho Government to-day received in-telligence, brought by the last steamerfrom Europe, from Gen. S:-ott, statingthat he intended to take passage iu thanext steamer for the United States.—The General docs not stato the object ofhis return, but he undoubtedly brings in-formation to our Government of impor-tant- movements abroad. It must be aserious matter, for it is well known thathe had made arrangements to remain fora long time.

PREPARING FOR ROCOU WEATHER.—

Orders from Washington to the manu-facturers of aimy tents have had thoeffect to expedite operations in theirmanufacture to a large degree. Atthe principal point of supply from thisvicinity, tho mammoth mills of Garsed& Bro , at Frankford, Pa., work hnsjust been commenced by night as wellas by day. The mill was previouslyrunning fourteen hours per day. Mostof i;s machinery will now run withoutcessation, Sundays only excepted. Thecanvas, made almost as impermeableas sheet iron, is saturated in caout-chouc by a process which renders itimpermeable by water, and excludesthe wind as efteotuaiy as s stono wall.The preparation tones down tho colorto a drab, v.ory pleasunt to the eye.—Phil, N.

The Victory in Missouri.Ottervillo, Mo., Dec. 23.

Part of the prisoners captured byGen. Pope, at Blackwater, last Thursday,passed down last night on a special train.Among those seut down are Col. Magof-fin, brother of Gov.

Many of theprisoners wore a kind of uniform, andhave served with Price for severalmonths.

In thistime we marched about ten days in a di-rect line from this place, scoured thecountry through which we passed for adistance of 40 or 50 miles. On eachside of the route we took about 1500prisoners, 1000 horses and mules^lOOOstand of arms, 100 wagons and quanti-ties of stores, supplies and olothing.

Care of Domestic Animals inS. Hiiwnnls Tod, in tlio Caitntry

G'r/itlrmqu, writes intelligently mi \.h»above sul y-'., Which, :it this sonsiin ofthe veiny is bi the first importance. Henays :

Wo are really in winter quartersnow, ami every animal oriBSt l-.avo it.sallowance dealt out to it They canno longer obtain a supply of food intho field; and AiurciUg V.'TM'S andpelting storms will use up a dollar'swortb oi fat and flesh in sustaining ananimal. 1 hnve always found that it ismuch moro economical and hetter, inevery respect, to sustain animals ingood stables or shodf, nrith enough toeat, than to leave them where they willbo compelled to use up any of tho fatthoy hiivo laid up, during the summer,for want ot a proper supply of food.

Is every animal well fed and properlyprotected ? Arc your stables all inorder? or aro the boards knocked offhero and there, so that tho cold windsand storms can beat upon tho horses.?Does every milch cow have a goodeupply of nutritious food, not lo.ss iliantwice daily ? Cows cannot be expectedto yield even a tolerable supply of milkunless they can havo a good supply ofsucculent food. Docs every animalhavn a comfortable place, where shecan lay down during the night, andenjoy quiet rumination and res t?

How is it with your calves? Dothey have all the good hay they caneat during the night— and do they gota little meal every day—and have acomfortable shed or stable? Do thoyfill themselves well—or do their sides—as my littlo boy said—" look as if someone had kicked them all in with a bigb o o t ? "

Where are your sheep ? Aro theyaway of}' in some distant field, tryingto make a meal by pawing the snowoft the grass? Have your lambs beenseparated long ago from tho old sheep—and do they now have the benefit ota good shelter, a plenty of fodder anda little grain every day ?

Do you intent) to keop thoso colts inthat field, all winter, with no protectionbut a rail fence? That is a practicethat economical farmers cannot affordto adopt in raising domestic animals.

If every animal does not have agood supply of food, and a comforta-ble protection, no time should be lost insupplying these very important items,without delay.

Is tho barnyard in a good conditionfor the comfort of your animals—or isthere nothing b u t , fine manure, mud ' i n t ] , e neatest styles, ana as cheap as anyand wator for them to stand or lie other housa in the State. We ar« alao pre-down in ? Have all the holes andcrevices been stopped about tho sheds—or does the cold and storms rushthrough them, and render tho shedcolder than it would be awny fromsuch sheds?

Let us have all these jobs attendedto without delay, if they .have not boonperformed; and keep the yard wdllittered with straw.

One of the "Western Gunboats."We give a description of tlio Benton,

one of the gunboats to be employed inthe Mississippi expedition, from thecorrespondence of the N. Y. Times :

Oue of the boats, the Beaton, has aflag-staff erected from tho upper deok;from tho top of which floats tiie Ameri-can flag, while on the bottom is naileda sign, " For Memphis aud New Or-leans/' The Benton looks as if thissomewhat vaunting advertisement couldbe made true with no great trouble. I tis built so that, when ready for service,little will bo presented above the waterline save tho muzzles of the guns and thetop of the smoke-stacks. All the ma-chinery is uuder the water, and this partis so divided into water-tight compartments, that, in case a ball should enterone, it can do no material damage. Thesides aro sloped at an angle of about for-ty-five degrees, and are covered wit^jiron plates two and one half inches inthickness, securely bolted to each otherand through tho heavy timber beneath.Each plate has been submitted to ade-quate tests, and is calculated to resistany missile known to modern warfare.

The bow is pierced with four port holes,through which will protrude the muzzlesof four 32-pound Parrot guns; tho sternwill have two pieces of the same sort;tho sides will have each six of those for-midablo 10 inch columbiads, whose rangeig only equalled by anything a trifle lessthan infinity. The magazine is perfectlyinaccessible to accidents of any kind, andis placed below tho water-line, near thostern. This brief outline of the Bentonwill serve as a specimen for nearly all theothers.

Secretary Chase's Plan of Finance.The plan of finance proposed by the

Secretary of the Treasury is now underconsideration by the Senate Committee.The Secretary's views, as laid down iubis ablo report and elaborate document,which is now before tho committee, to-gether with a carefully drawn up billwhich it is thought will not only meettho requirements of the Government, butthe general approval of the country.—Greater advantages are to be offered totho banks and banking associations thanthey now possess. First, it is proposedto secure to the country a currency ofuniversal value; and second, to obtain alargo demand for Government bonds.—I t is proposed that a bureau of currencybe established in the Treasury Depart-ment, authorized to receivo from all thobanks bonds of the United States on de-posit as security for tho payment of suckbills as the Secretary shall certify arereceived in the Treasury. These bills tobe made payablo by tho signature of theCashier or President at the bank fromwheuco they may be issued, in coinor demand notes. The benefits of thisprovision to be open to all associationsfor banking purposes now existing orhereafter to be organized. To add totho inducements for investing in theGovernment bonds, it is proposed to re-ceivo and pay out through the Govern-ment agencies the notes of such bauks ashave secured their currency by a depositof the bonds of the United States in theTreasury; and to induce old institutionsas well as now ones to invest their wholecapital in these bonds, tho Secretaryintends to use such banking associationsas fiscal agents of tho government, withpower to collect all taxos and other duescoming to the Government, and with au-thority to receive and pay out ali billsthat are secured in tho Treasurj'. A billto carry out all those objects embracedin the Secretary's Keport is now beforothe proper committees of the two Houses,and will probably be reported iu a fewdays. Such a bill, it is supposed, willenable the Secretary to obtain all themoney ho requires for twenty year bonds.— Washington Cor. of N. Y. Times.

Ona of my patients hm\ Syphilitic ulcersin bis throat, which were consuming im palate and thotop of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken,cured him iu live- weeks. Another was attacked bv sec-ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulcerailon hadeaten away a considerable part < f it. BO that X believe thodisorder would soon reach his brtlu and kill him. JJnt ityielded to my administration of your Sanaparilla: theulcers healed, and he Is well again, not of course withoutsomo disfiguration to his face. A womau who had beentreated for the game disorder by mercury was sufferingfrom this poison In her bones. They had become so SSB-lltlve to the weather tlint on a damp day she Buffered ex-arociat.Dg pain in her joints And bodes. She, Icured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few ween. Iknow Gram its formula, which your agent gave me, thatthis Preparation from your laboratory must he a greatremedy: consequently, these truly remarkable resultswith it have not surprised me.

DR. J. C. ATEH: Sir, I have been afflicted with ft pain-ful chronic Shtumalitm for a long time, which baffled tho•rJQl of physicians, and stuck to mo In spite of all thei.remedies I could find, until I tried your BarsapariUa. Onebottle cared me in two wcelig, and restored my generalhealth no much that I am far bettor than before I vrnsattacked. I think it a wonderful medicine. J. FHEAM.

Jules Y. Getchell, of St. Loots, writes: «• I have beenafllictod for years with an affection of the Liver, whichdestroyed my health. J fried every thing', nud every thingfeiled to relieve me ; and I havo been a broken-duwn manfor some years from no other cause than Jrra?it,-Vit Liter. My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. Espy, adTlgedme to try yourBarsaparlUa, because he sold he knew yon,and any thine you made was worth trying. JJy tho bless-ing of God it lias cured me, and has so purified my Woodas to make a new man of me. I feel young again. Thobest that can bo said of you is not half good enough."
