The Nauonul Dcbt-Lc,tcr from

The following recent letter from the
Secretary of'he Treasury, is addressed
to tho President of one Of the Boston
Banks:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Oct. 23.
bIY DEAR Sin:
! am much surprised by the statement
you soy has been made by one who ough,
10 knew, that the Government intend to
refuse payment of D per cent. and 4 per
cent temporary deposits, in anything but
3-20s. ] certainly have never entertain.
ed n thought Of paying them in anything
except the currency in which they were
received, that is to say, United States
notes; unless, indeed, they are paid in
gold.
The idea that thoy ara TO be paid in
anything Tut money, however, is only
about as absurd and groundless as the
statement thnt the National debt amounts
TO two thousand millions of dollars: and
yet, this statement was gravcly put forth
In tho leading resolution of the Consery-
utive Convention, which met the other
day ut Fancul Hall. On the dny that
'N''i"''bh N"H N''UNNus tnt Nulltnul utDt
amounted to less than S6IO, 900 900. |
wish | had thought of il, and | would
have obtained the precise figures at the
Department before came down, Q am
writing at my house,) and could have
given them To you. Six hundred and for
~ millions compared with what we have
10 show for the expenditure Of ou- par.
of it-sevcnty odd millions, you know,
was the legacy Of the Buchanan Admin
istrotion-is bad enough. certainly do
not contemplate il with complncency
with still less complaccncy do contem-
plato its increase actual since the resslu-
ton wns adopted, and prospective for the
year, ut the rate of u million and quar-.
tor per day. But still six hundred and
forty millions is not two thousand mil
Hons, nor DO | think il wise or patriotic
to say two thousand when six hundred
aud forty represents the truth. Ii was
said doubtless by mistake.
You may show this letter to whom you
please, and il you choose, though il is
written wit a running p n, as you see,
print the subsistence of il.
Yours,
y. =. CHASE,

An event occurred IN this place, OH
tho 2oth Of October, that will not only
sturlc the civilized world, but will rend,r
illustrlous throughout ccascless agcs, the
a'niablo and enterprising city of Tiilin.
The youthful "martyr" to truth, the weird
renowned orrtof, philosopher and satiris,
the greater thar Socrates, Plato, Ci.
zero, Demosthones or any other philoso-
phor or celebrity of ancient or modern
times. Persecutcd, hutcd and truduced
by an cnvious and jealous world. On
that day incarccruted himself in our
county prison, went to his lonely cell,
handcuiled and IN chains, rather than sur.
render his views on tho "Union,' and
with which he would fain enlightcn this
selfish and passionate world. We need
scarcely state that we refer to tue "illus-
uious and immortal J. N."-the great
premulgutor Of philosophy on the war
which he thinks will have to bo recoa-
n!zcd il wo ever have government. 1t
IL hard TO think Of one SO young, gifted
and gentle should be shut out fom the
sweet light of day and all the beauties
OF na'ure-compellcd TO gaze from morn
Till night on the gloomy walls OF prison
a martyr TO truths, which can be fifty pcr-
traycd only by the peerless "J. NJ" him
self.
Deputy Thes. II. Sospcr, draw the
bohs with an easy hand, turn the huge
and forbidding doors lightly on thoir him
gcs. You are mmortalizCd forever. In
your keeping you have one more prncious
than gold or diamonds, and whose incar-
ccratiun at your hands Is destined to form
a new cra in the worlds history.
oh!"J. N."your fate is hard, but like
n martyr YOU Orc prepared to meet it,
Bu, we still hope that jealous aud cruel
world will cease its opposition, withdraw
is shuts orporsccution, and the Press OF
the nation will publish your views OH the
uhloh-h'lp ocar tbe pressure you have
so long withstood.
Come forth, ~. NJ" your martyrdom
in this place must now cease Ten days
is enough TO show that you have no feurs.
Sheriff wciriek, to-day at o'clock take
the huge key, apply it to the massive lock
turn back the iorbidding door and le,
Marsha Britton take of the martyrs
chains and lead him forth from his dark
and dismal cell. Dcuby fortified as the

Ispuodf chd r. this rebellion, looks Fat.
ssrina indeed. Tho removal Of Buell.,
ma, isespsble lscgard, and the placing
of the energetic and always successful
Rosecrans, to the command ofour West
ern army, is one great step forward. The
courage aud skill Of the new commander
will soon, no doubt, lead the army forward
TO the relief Of the oppressed Unpnists
CT East Tennessee, who have so long
been praying for the Stars aud Stripes
Nearly all the revcrscs Cur arms have
met with IN the Southwest, has been
on account Of our want Of knowledge Of
the topography Of the country. or course
there are no mnps Of those scmi-sevago
regions, and the white men familiar vita
their roads, ,nnd paths, and streams were
all in the rebel ranks. But in Rose
crun's nrmy are hundreds Of East Ten.
nessee Unionists, who, undoubtedly, car
track the whole country by night even.
Under ,hoir guidance, Rosocrsns will be
enabled to accomplish the movement so
long looked for and prayed for by the
harried aud ruined men of the South
Wes,-to pass through the Cumberland
Mountains; TO sweep his way to the
grent artery which supplies the rebell-
ion with its lite .blood-the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroud; % cut Il; to ostob-
lsha victorious Union force upon the
crown Of tho whole Cotton region; TO
threaten Lees army on the Potomac with
stnryutionj to menace Richmond in the
rear; ard when our columns begin 10
nave up the Valley, to compel the with.
drawal of the rebel force from McClel-
lan's front, and to make 1t fall back upon
Richmond, aud there wait an utiack
from overwhelming numbers in front and

Seemingly, the rebellion must he pul.

Presentation 40 gen. Fremont

Gen. Fremont was presented last Sat
urdoy night by the Germans ofSt. Louis
and vicinity with u magnificent sword,
which ives long since purchased for this
purpose. About u year ago a dime sub.
scription was started among the Germans
to raise a suitable amount for a testino-
al. A Thousand dollars was speedily col
lected, and the sword ordered from Tiff.
any, New York.
The weapon was a superior one, the
blade of the finest steel, with a gold
scabbard. Fremont's recent arrival there
afforded the wished for opportunity, and
that evening was chosen for tho demo n
strationy commencing with u terchlighi
procession. The multitude gathered to.
gether was very large, and the enthusi-
asm unbounded. About $4,000 people
were present, and it was one OF the
grandest demonstrations of the kind that
city ever witnessed. A sash OF white
satin, having upon it tae bust Of Free
mont, was also presented by the ladies.

OF John Bull is once more in rage al
Admiral Wilkes. Canadian papers in
form us that the notorious" Admiral
insulted the good people Of Bermuda by
entering the port Of ST. Georges for coal.
The Governor at once ha.tened to pres
ent Admiral Wilkes with copy Of the
Queens proclamation relative to the
twcnty-four hours limit but On repre-.
senting that his ship needed some re-
pairs, Admiral Wilkes, with difficulty
obtained leave to stay from Monday
Oct. 6, until Thursday. Then he was
induced to leave by threat of the Gov
ernor, that IL he did not leave he would
be compelled to do so. The coming oi
Admiral Wilkes to Bermuda is declared
to DO a gross insult to England, because
&" he must have known the defenseless
condition of the island" and because he
came to capture or destroy the six
steamers in that port which were engag-
ed in the trade with the Confederates.
The poor Confederates, we are told
were badly frightened. One of the three
vessels Of the Admirsl's feet, after
leaving the port, continued cruising out
side Of 81. Georges.

Of a man.

after Fort Donelson had fallen, allowing
the Rebels to eyacuate Nashville al
their leisure and carry ofMillions' worth
Of provisions and munitions which he
might easily have captured.
lie so slowly obeyed his orders TO
march to the support Of 6rants army on
the Tennessee that the army would have
been utterly destroyed bat for the un
ferseen circumstances that Johnston and
Beauregard made their attack on il two
days later than they had int, ndcds
Arriving at Pittsburg Landing at the
eleventh hour, his fresh troops easily re-
pulsed the thnned, worn.out regiments
Of Beauregard Johnston having been
killed) but he teok good care not to fol.
low UP bis advantage and convert the
repulse into a rout
Left in charge of the Army designed
10 libernte East Tennessee, he took care
TO do neither that nor snything else, but
slept away the Summer in torpoi while
the Rebels were h6rsssing his scattered
line Of defense, and taking regiment af-
ter regiment prisoner
Aroused at last by the irruption Of
Bragg's Rebel army into Kentucky, he
marched Northward, allowing Bragg to
capture Five Thousand Union troops at
Munfordsville, aud turn over their arms
munitions, &c, to the service OF the
traitor Confederacy.
He reached the Ohio but by this
time the Presidents long-sunerinR patti!
ence had given out. He appointed new
commander for the Army hitherto led by
Gen. Buell.. But the Border State osbal
which has so long exerted baleful in
fuence over our national affairs, inter-
posed in his behalf; fomented trouble
In the Army, and threatened its dissolu-
ton or a mutiny unless he was reinsta-
ted. He was reinstated, with what re-
suits the last fortnight has shown.
He allowed the rebels to strike one d.
vision of his army with two Of theirs at
Chuplin's Hill or Perryville, and to 6ght
n Drawn battle which their bulletins can
preyert into a triumph.
lie allowed them to get away from
the field Of that conflict without serious
loss, though his army in overwhelming
force stood idle within few miles.
And now he has allowed them to steal
out Of the State, as they had stolen all
over it, driving off thousands of cuttlo and
drawing of the plunder of weeks by the
help OF thousands Of stolen horses and
wagons.
Kentucky has thus taken dose Of her
own Dorder-State mixture, as compound
cd by Crittenden, Wicklife, Garret Da.
Wis g. Co. We hope it may do her good.
That il will tend still further TO open
the eyes of the President to the value of
the counsels he so long followed we Gun
hardly doubt.-N. Y. Tribune.
