That the American people are approci-

enterprise, 1t was something Of venture
for chemist of his splendid reputation
among the literati of the world, to risk it
inthe production of Cough Drops and Pills,
But he boldly threw himself into the gap
where his talents could best spbserye the
public veal, and it is now easy to see that
be did not misjudge the temper of his
countrymen. Throughout this nation and
some foreign lands, his name is foremost at
the bedside of sickness--whilo in the good
he scatters, he is second to no living mans,
He wins the brightest laurels man can wear,
and enjoys in untold measure the luxury
of doing goca,-Obsorver, Dubuque, Iowa

CHEERING NEWS.

Tho conture of Fort Henry details of which
o.o o;von in our columns to day, rivals in spirit
aud success, and resembles in some particulars,
the famous bombardment of Port Boyal.c The
Gallant Commodore Foote pushed bis vessels
nm in the very teeth of the enemy's guns, and
concentrated fire of so much severity upon
their works as to lead the rebel general to sur
render in haste. In the mean time the rebel
land forces appropriately and with such hot
haste as to fairly eclipse the feats of our forces
in that line at Bull Run. The boosted chivalry
of the South are in this particular entitled to
the palm. They have made the best time on
record.
The importance Of this victory in a strotagetic
point of view can scarcely be overrated. Fort
Henry is in Tennessee just across the Kentucky
line, and is the only fortified place up the river.
1t was the connecting link in the chain OF rebel
posts between Columbus on the Mississippi
River and Bowling Green in central Kentucky.
In taking it we have completely separated the
with each other, and have placed strong force
southwest of the rebels at Bowling Geeen, as
the victory at Somerset gave us the control to
the southeast In taking possession of the
bridge of the Memphis and Ohio railroad ff-
teen miles south of Fort Henry we have inter-
rupted the communication of the rebels at
Memphis with Johnstons army, and further
advance of seventy-fye miles will cut off all
communication with Columbus.
Since then we have news through rebel chan
nels that Burnside's expedition has after two
days fighting, captured Roanoke Island, which
commands the connecting inlet between Pamli-
co and Albemarle Sounds. OF course we are
without full particulars, but if the rebels admit
thus much we may rely upon it that our troops
have achieved substantial victory in that
quarter. 1t is reported by telegraph that the
rebels are in the widest CONSERVATION at their
defeats which crowd thick and fast upon them.
1t now really seems as if the "grand concern
trio movement" so long predicted, had COM
menced and that new era, in which conflicts
and victory are to succeed to defeat and inaction,
is dawning upon cur arms God speed the
right, and may the good work so auspicously
commenced proceed until the rebels are van
pushed and the rebellion efectually squelched.

THE THEAsURY NOTE BILL.

The Treasury note bill with the clause max
ing the notes legal tender, passed the House
of Representatives last Thursday, after an ear.
nest and protracted debate. From the first
there has been radical difference of opinion
both in Committee of Ways and Means and in
Congress, concerning the propriety of the legal
tender clauses. The Committee stood four to
four Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont member of
the Committee moved a substitute, emitting
the legal tender clause, which he and othess re-
garded as sure to work an immediate depreca-
ton of the currency aud consequent ruinous
rise Of prices throughout the country. Mr.
Morrill's substitute was rejected So to 90. The
bill then passed, 90 to 55,-all the members
from Vermont voting against its passage. 1t is
believed that the bill with the legal tender
clause will pass the Senate by a respectable
majority.
The bills provides as follows:
The issue, on the credit of the United States,
Of Sl00,000,000 in Treasury notes, bearing in
terest at the rate of Gj-l00 per cent per an
mum, payable two years after date receivable
for all dues except on imports. Any holder
of such notes, deposting not less than 800 or
some multiple Of $50, to receive in exchange
for duplicate certificates of deposit for the
amount, with the accumulated interest, which
may be transmitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who shall thereupon issue to the holder
an equal amount ofbonds coupon or registered,
bearing interest at the rate of $40 per cent,
PAYABLE semi annually, in coin, and redecmable
at the pleasure of the Government, after ten
wears from date; such notes to be received the
same as coin, at their par value, with the ac-
cumuated interest, in payment for any bonds
that may hereafter be negotiated by the Secre-
tary. who may, from time to time, as the ext
gencies of the public service may require, re-
issue an amount of such Treasury notes equal
to the amount redeem ed. The Secretary is also
authorized to issue coupon bonds, or registered
bonds, to an amount not exceeding $500, 000,-
000, in order to fund the forting debt of the
United States, bearing interest at 6 per cent,
and redeemabe after twenty years.
We are not sufficiently well Informed in the
matter of finance and currency to express an
intelligent opinion as to the merits of this bill
But it seems to us that its passage will prove
beneficial to the country generally, in the pres
ent condition Of the Treasury, and during the
suspension of specie payments by the Banks Of
the country. 1t will prevent the great depreci'
alton in the bonds of the government that
would otherwise take place and to that exten
will curtail the speculations of those who wisl
TO make fortunes in buying up the government
paper at an enormous shave. We see that thu
passage of the bill was recommended by thu
able Secretary of the Treasury, by some of thu
most eminent bankers and financiers of New
York and Boston, by the New York Chambe
of Commerce and by the Banks of Rhode Island
These recommendations undoubtedly and yer.
Justly exerted an influence favorable to tn
passage Of the bill.
