TREASURY NOTES AND DRAFTS.

We understand the Secretary of the Treasury
has authorized, under the advice of the President
of the United States, and IN conformity with the
act of July last the issue, this day, of treasury
notes to the amount 'of half million of dollars,
lower denomination will hereafter be occasionally
issued.
In spite Of the idle cavs Of the wing presses, we
venture to assert that not treasury draft has
been issued but the strictest conformity to the law
Those drafts have been issued also, agreeably to
usage. The case which has been harped upon
by the wing presses, of drafts issued in June last
is strictly legal, besides being conformable to the
uniform usage of the government. Some of these
have been issued, in June last not predated,
as some would insist, for the purpose of
eyading the law; for, we repeat, the law
has not prohibited their issue. Others have
been issued since-and some in the current month.
Cases have occurred in which the drafts have been
aAoat for a period of FIVE years, and not yet
returned to the treasury. 1t is not the wish Of
the secretary to keep them out-indeed, it has be-
come his duty to limit the time of their circulation;
and he is now devising system for regulating their
presentation to the treasury in the shortest pos
sbe time so as to comply with the acquisitions Of
the law. Why does the alexandra Gazette" talk
about the drafts being handsomely engraved, if the
secretary intended to make them circulating paper
money! The fact is, they have been neatly engraved
for three months past for the purpose Of preventing
heirbeing counterfeited and especially preventany
counereits being circulated among our ellowcitzens
who are serving their country in the camp. One
thing we may assure the public, that the present
Secretary of the Treasury is as little disposed as
any other man to violate the laws of his country,
and especially to arrest the full operation of the nde
pendent treasury law, whatever may be the temporary
difficulties which may occur in its execution. He
is determined to execute the law--be the conse-
quences what they may We hope that its machin-
cry may work smoothly and easily for the good Of
the country. If it does not SO work, it will GER
| tainly rot be his fault. .-

From the ST. Louis Reyeille
LETTER FROM CAPTAIN MOORE.

We have received from friend in Jefferson CITY,
for which he has our thanks private letter received
from Captain Moore, commander of the advanced
guard Of u, 2, dragons, now en- route for Santa
Fe, from which we make the following extracts:
| "HEADaUARTERs ADVANCED GUARD u. S. A.,
"Pawnee Fork, Santa Fe Trail, July 10, 1876.
"DEAR FRIEND; Your kind letters have been re-
ceiyed by express, and | embrace this, the first
opportunity that has offered to write to the United
States. You know was ordered with squadron
Of Dragons with only eight hours notice) to
proceed In pursuit OF Speyers, the Santa Fe trader,
who had some wagons loaded with arms and am
munltlon for Mexico but, from his having too much
The start, was unable TO oyertake him. When
left my camp at Kansas river, on the 7th ult., and
up to the time Of my arrival al the crossing of the
Arkansas river, | could not perceive that | had
gained much on him, judging from the age of the
sign he made, although followed in forced march,
reaching the crossing in eleven and half days.
Our march was the most disagreeable out Of the
many that have experienced, in consequence ofthe
drought, no rain having fallen since last spring.
The roads were exceedingly dry and dusty, and for
several days we marched twenty-five miles without
water.
"on our arrival at the crossing, finding no Mexi-
cans, nor sign OF any and the grass coarse and in.
sufficient, fell back, with my command, 10 this
point, about eighty miles from the crossing, in toll
cradle grass, where have remained since; but to-
morrow shall take up the line Of march for Bent's
Fort, on the Arkansas, with five companies under
my command-three Of Dragons and two Of mount
ed volunteer rihemen-the two latter companies
Captains Waldo and Reed) having joined me yes
terday. The volunteer officers are clever fellows,
and have hne'looking set OF men, who, although
ignorant OF military matters, eyinee disposition 10
earn highly creditable To them.
1--WE have no news worthy Of credit from Santa
Fe; but it is rumored that General Urea, from the
Passo Del Nore, has marched 10 Santa Fe with an
army offrom three to four thousand troops. II so,
we may meet with a warm reception. Well, IL is
not usual for TO be riyaed in cordially. We will
reciproeate their politeness. The American eagle
will vie with the Mexican in hearty grip.
Lieutenant Colonel Ruff, ofthe Missouri mount
ed volunteers, was about two days in rear OF Cap
tains Waldo and Reeds corps. He will oyertake
US at Bents Fort.
1--WE are all we'll and in hne spirits, in contempla-
tion Of business on hand AS opportunities Of
communication with the United States will now be
frequent, shall write oen, and hope, in future to
have something more interesting to impart.
"Yours, truly,
BENJAMIN d. MOORE, u. s. D."

wear the yictor's CROWN Indissolube bonds OF
friendship bind them together, and they have ever
been the white mans friend. Their honesty and in
dustry Is proyerbial, and well cultivated fields and
well stocked farms give token OF much tbrt and IN
dependence They are strict observers of the Cath
Ollie faith the priests being allowed TO live their
villages. III had not been for these Indians, New
Mexico would long since have been oyerrun by the
surrounding Indian tribes They do not make war
a trade, but their bravery is unequaled IN the re-

small and uncomfortable village, in its most prosper
Gus days never having had va population OF more
than 1000, aud Il is now upon the decline IL is sit
uated twenty miles from the Rio Grande, upon the
east side II Is owing 10 extensive commerce with
the State OF Mississippi and the gold mines in the
vicinity, that has given Santa Fe a name abroad.
From Santa Fe large wagon road winds around
through the Valleys and energies out into the plains
before reaching Red river. Through the mountains
to San Miguel or Ell Bado, il is fifty miles. San Mi
guel is situated upon a small creek or river called
Pecas river, which takes its rise within Eileen miles
Of Santa Fe, and AFTER running six hundred miles
falls into the Rio Grande. About halfway between
Santa Fe and San Miguel, is the celebrated Peeas
village, being Of the same tribe that has been de-
scribed, but claiming more ancient origin. They
have no records but are governed by oral traditions
They observe the Catholic faith, but strange to tell
they say they waiting the return Of their great
King, who promised them that he would return in
due season, and from time immemoral have they
preserved the same fire that burning upon his de-
parture They describe him as their great King and
Saviour, and they take it by turns in watching
the fire, which is preserved in deep well or cellar
The old and most decrepd destined TO the never
ending watch. In latter years great sickness pre-
vailed amongst them, and the village went TO decay
in consequences. They became fearful that it,was
some visitation, and about the year 1889 or 1870,
they moved to the west side of the Rio Grande
to small village called Jemas, about fifty miles from
Santa Fe, where they carried the everlasting fire, to
continue It's omnous blaze through all time.

Northwest Company--whieh purchased the estao'
ishments and stock ON hand of the Pacific or Aso'
ria Company, in 1913, and founded Fort Vancouver
few years afterwards.
The British government interfered but little in the
dispute between this association and the Hudson
Bay Company, until the two parties had taken up
arms, md a battle had been fought on the Red
river, in 1916, in which many lives were lost
The question was then brought before Parliament,
and at length, in 1921, a compromise was effected
| through the mediation of the colonial office. The
Northwest Company was combined with, or rather
absorbed by, the Hudson Bay Companyj to which
il transferred all lis posts and property wheresoeyer
situated on certain conditions namely; the payment
of a certain amount Of money TO the Northwest
Company; the reception Of the people of the latter
into the service Of the Hudson Bay Company; and
the assurance Of share of the profits Of this CON-
pany to the extinct association, which was TO be
| represented by three persons, &c. At the same
time, and as part of the same arrangement the To-
nous act of Parliament of July 2, 1921, was passed,
empowering the government to grant by license to
any company or person the trade in exclusion Of all
other British subjects, for not more than twenty
one years, of all the territories in North Americs
not embraced in Canada or in the Hudson's bay
possessions, or in any organized State Territory OF

The returns come in very slowly. Enough how.
ever have been received to show that the banner Of
democracy, with victory perched upon il, still
waves over the Prairie State. The wings have sus-
tanned regular Palo Alto defeat The democrats
have done nobly. French, governor and Wells,
lieutenant governor, are elected by $4,000 ma
ority. Smith, McClernand, Ficklin. Went
worth, Douglass, and Turner are elected to Con-
gress by majorlhes varying from hundreds to
many thousands. The legislature is largely demo-
cratic, and the county tickets have been more than
usually successful. We confess that we were not
prepared TOR so glorious triumph We feared that
general apathy" had got the command of the dem

Turpentine Agency,

ZNHE subscriber respectfully offers his services to
~ TurPentine Makers as Agent for the sale of
the article and hopes by prompt and active atten-
ton. together with his experience, to receive a
continuance Of past favors. &c. He would par
tculary recommend all Turpentipe Makers to have
their Produce sold by we'll qualified Agent, as it
is not legitimate business for an Inspector to at
tend to- and it is believed they DO not desire to sell
the article. The subscriber also begs leave to OBJ
serve that he charges commission of per cent
and will endeaver to earn it on all occasions, and
in conclusion would particularly recommend all
Turpen,ne Makers not to engage their crops tc
dealers in the article in this market at the so cal
led highest market price, merely to have their bu
siness done for nothing, by which they frequently
lose two or three commissions on the sales of the
produce. JOHN HALL.
