1t will be remembered that at the late
extra session Of Congress, Sen Baker, of
Oregon, procured the passage of law in
creaeing the army rations for troops
This was not so much because The old al.
lowance was too small, when used with
economy, as because cur troops had not
yet learned the art of cooking and saving.
II was one of the evils incident to raising
an immense army like ours out Of the raw
material Of the people. The troops have
now begun to get accustomed to camp
economy, and they find themselves over.
whelmed with supplies. Secretary Cam.
eron has, therefore. issued an s2her agree.
ing to allow to regiments, at cost prices,
for all articles saved in good condition,
and the regiments are, many of them,
making handsome fundtout of it One
which we have in mind--Col Gordons'
Massachusetts, 2d-settled up last month
with balance of 5000 in its favor
Somebody has reduced this to an arithme
teal calculation for tie whole army, and
finds that similar saving by all the rcgi-
ments would give half million dollars
month, or six millions year.

GharIeAlnn.

We PRINT this morning an interesting
letter from our Port Royal correspondent,
giving an account of the stonefeet expe-
dition to Charleston harbor. That city
now can hardly be considered seaport,
for her only available channel to the sea
has sunk in il sixteen vessels in such po
stiens as TO render it impossible, and the
difficulties Of navigation are so great in
the only other channel where ship can
float that the larbor is eflectually closed.
Charleston now, so far as any commerce is
concerned, except that in small coastwise
vessels, may be considered as ..up.coun-
try Fire has wiped out that rebellous
city as efectually as the wrath of God did
Sodom. Fishermen may dry their nets
where it once stood, for few but fishermen
will ever 20 there, and they only to find
its ruins. That these sunken vessels will
ever be removed is not at all likely. The
shifting sands viii soon bury them, and
the superintendent mass will be almost
as impossible of removal as the water
itself. 1t may be in time that the tides
will forma new channel; they may, indeed,
form half a dozen new ones; but it is not
a necessary consequence that any Of them
shall be deep enough for ship-navigation
Nothing is so capricious as the course of
currents on these Southern sand bars.
and there can be no certain calculation on
what direction they may take on this that
has made Charleston the most difficult OF
access OF any important port on the coast.
But the probabilities are that this job
settles the account with what the FIRE had
left Of her. Her end has come. One
year ago she reared her proud crest as the
head and front Of Secession; she sits to-
day with ashes strown over the place
where she once stood. The tall steeple Of
her st. Mchaels. which for a century has
guided the sailor, far out at sea, aud long
