IN TIE S1ADoY OF Bun

In THE SHADOW OF BUNKER HILL.
The eternal fitness of things is con
suited in the consignment of James NJ
Mason to prison in Boston Harbor,
with unquestionabla Yankees for his
keepers. What has always tended to
make Mason especially obnoxious to
those who have suffered his society,
has been his exceeding shallow capaci
ty, presumption and afectatioa Of con
tempt for Northen people and institu-
ton. It was Mr.. r. G. Winthrop, OF
of Boston, who, a few months ago,
asked the Virginia Senator when he
would visit Boston. The reply was:
"Not TIL I come as an ambassador"
This official visit is now to be paid
How the Envoy will like the palace pre-
pared for his Legation, and the State
with which Yankee hospitality will
surround him, remains to be seen. He
may at least be able antici pate Toombs

his slaves in the shadow Of the Bunker
Hill Monument; for if the fugitive from

amount of commisssry store, which
will be consumed in one month by the
United States Army when brought to
the standard authorized by Congress,
viz: 500, 1000 men. 1t will be seen that

CouRT WEEK.--This being the
week on which our people assemble to
quarrel according to the forms Of the
law, the Pinery constellation Of legal
luminaries is shedding its radiance
through our village. Adjutant Park
oondescends to appear among us in
citizens dress, and carrying no more
dangerous weapon than the Revised
Statutes, unless it be that little affair
covered with acicker-acorA. which we
noticed protruding from his over-coat
pocket. Lieut.. Webb, his majestic
form all done up in blue coat and brass
buttons, is stalking through our streets
with his martial tread, having been
furloughed in view Of the necessity Of
his presence to the proper manage
ment of this term. Mr.. W. G. Webb
looks very much as if he had been e.
lected to the Legislature. It is RI,
mored IN Waushara Go. that he can
run as far in three days IS some can in
that many weeks.

Money that is not Stump-tail.

We notice that the small Demand
Treasury Notes are beginning TO be in
troduced and circulated in this vicinity.
This is a fit subject for congratulation
on the part Of our business men. We
have considered from the commence
ment Of the political and financial cri-
sis, that the issuing, by the United
States Treasury Department, of one
hundred millions of dollars Of notes, re-
deemable on demand, would be the
best method to furnish the government,
in part, the money which it needs, and
the people the reliable medium of ex-
change which they need.
Certain well-known fnaneiers are
Directing that the government is doing
the people injustice in forcing among
them these Notes without interest, and
with nothing to give them the advan-
tage over the Popular Loan Notes
which draw interest. But this is not,
we are sure, the sentiment of the peo-
pie on this subject. Aud with good
reason. Private individuals may issue
promises to pay on the credit of State
bonds the interest on which they them
selves realize, and we receive them in
hesitatingly SO long as we are convinc-
i :, +l,ot No
But the United States is better securi-
ty than any one State, and if it uses its
credit to issue one hundred million dol
lars in notes, the interest on that
amount is saved by the government
and thence, Of course, by the people.
Again, if these notes are but issued in
sufficient quantities to become the
common medium of business, and if, as
they necessarily must, they gain free
circulation in the East and West, ex-
change will be reduced to merely
nominal tigure,-a great deSiaerot,na,
surely. But the addition of coupons
TO these bills would be fatal, in all
probability, to their introduction as a
currency. We expect that the rapid
increase, of this kind Of currency,
consequent upon its popularity, will
render advisable the constitution of a
United States Bank, or if this term, by
reason Of its past associations, is I'M
popular of a National Redemption
Agency. Such an institution would
materially facilitate the handling of
these notes and relieve the Treasury
Department of what must become a
grierous burden.
Secretary Chase, to whom we are
indebted for this paper money which is
worth one hundred cents on a dollar,
has shown himself to be equal to the
great emergency. We may, with pro-
priety, apply to him the words so
beautifully spoken by Webster of
Alexander Hamilton:
''He smote the rock Of public resour-
ces and large stream of revenue burst
forth"

Treasurer G

Madison, Nov. 27, 1851.
o. Treasurer 49,:
DEAR S1R:-To meet the interest on
the State Bonds, and to pay for pur-
chases made in New York, it will be
necessary that a portion Of the State
tax soon to be collected, reach the
treasury in coin. As there is at thu
present time large amount Of coin in
the hands Of the people, it will be no
hardship for one third, at least, of the
State tax to be required in this shape +;
the balance will be received in Wiscon-
sin currency to the extent it is received
from the tax payer. / have the most
satisfactory assurances that all Wiscon-
sin currency now current--with the ex-
ception Of the notes Of the Dodge
County Bank, Bank of Portage and
Waupun Rank-the aggregate circu.
lation is less than slO,OoO--will be re.
deemed so as to save the holders from
all LOSE. In all cases where the banks
issuing these notes fail to redeem as
required by the amended banking law
the notes will be redeemed by the ban.
kers association, and at once retired
from circulation, and the non.redeem.
ing banks wound up without loss to the
bill holder. From careful investiga
tons I am fully satisfied with the cor.
rectness Of these assurances, and hest
tate not to express the opinion that
there will be no further trouble with
Wisconsin currency.
Very respectfully yours,
SAMUEL D. HASTINGS.

The Property of Rebel Preserved

If the government intends to confscate
any ofthe property ofrebels, the airing
ton estate Of Gen. Lee affords good
opportunity. 1t is situated opposit W ash
ington, in plain sight OF the White
House, is surrounded by our armies,
and is necessary to the defence of the
capitol Of the nations instead of con-
fiscating or destroying this property
of rank rebel, Arlington has been un-
der the especial protection of Gen. Nc
Dowell, ever since the war commenced.
while other property all around it has
been used for the accommodation of
our soldiers and erecting fortiticati ons,
Lees property is actually undergo lug
Improvement as we learn from an army
letter: "New out-buildings are pnt up
around the mansion, and the roads are
considerably improved. Near the man
sion, and from a half to a full mile
around it, on al sides, no timber has
been cut, but beyond that it has beca
slaughtered. | hear that Lee wrote to
Gen. Mcdowell, asking, as favor
that no tilaber be cut on the estate,
and l know that, a few days since,
when we wanted some logs to build a
stable Of, Gen. Mcdowell wouldn't let
anybody cut near the spot, but We had
to go away off beyond the estate to
get them. This il very considerable
very kind, indeed when it is one of
the first principles Of the rebels on
the line to destroy all they cannot car
ry away of the property of Union men
that falls into their hands. Still Gen
McDowll is right. The troops have
been careful not to deface or destroy
anything on the estate, and everything
is spared. Hunters house, not great
ways off, met with worse fate, being
pillaged, and then broken up TO make
flooring for soldiers tents"
