Remedies for oar Deprecated Cur
Ycncy.

The following is from the Galveston News.
The suggcstions, we think, entitled to ear
nest consideration, particularly the lst and
I'd. We cannot see why the collection OF
the debts due alien enemies should be de-
layed, when they might be the means of
such vast amount Of good, III withdraw
ing from circulation 50 large portion of
currency
We have not had sufficient confidence in
the CORRECTNESS of cur views as regards Tire
proper remedies for restoring our currency
to par, to justify US in giving them TO our
readers But we are glad 10 tind that u
friend. who is both s0und lawyer and
thoroughly informed ou the subject of Cur
currency, as we'll as upon the wants oil our
people and theirability 10 meet the require
menls that may have TO be made upon them,
recommends the very measures that We
have been disposed to advocate. They are
the following;
lst. Let the Government collect the debts
due by alien enemies, amounting we believe,
to about S2O00DU,00O.
I'd. Let the property of alien enemies be
sold, amounting to at least $SUOUOO,OOU,
3d. Let direct tax be collected Of three,
or even five per cent. if necessary, which
will produce 200 or 500 millions.
4th. Let every State guarantee the pay
ment of its pro rata share OF the Confederate
debt. =,
The first three of these measures Will not
only take every Confederate note or bond
now issued, but will fIWnishmean for pros
ecuting the war for perhaps the next IL
months.
We believe large majority of those ow-
ing debts to our alien enemies will be glad
to pay them at once in the Confederate notes
and bonds at par, and the measure once a.
dopted viii tend directly'to bring them up
TO par value in our mutual transactions.
We also believe that the sale OF alien
property can now be affected TO advantage,
as there are SO many eager to invest tier
surplus funds, and we can see no objection
to such sale, part in cash down, and the
balance in instruments properly secured.

WAS held at Austin on the 10th Of January,
which passed resolutions recommending the
immediate removal Of Gen. John S. Beser
Agent Of the Peniten;ary, which resolu'
tions were forwarded to Gov. Lubboek.-
The Governor, in his reply, while cordially
endorsing the two first rcoluiions, (which
state that no enc should be Gppointed to Of
fee whose fidelity to the South is not known
& coudcmning the practice of placing men
in public position whose sympaIhics for the
past year or ,go have been with the north
ern govcrnmcnt,) positively refuses to re-
move Gen. Desser unless such testimony as
will convict hm Of dishonesty or incl.icien7
cy, is placed before him. lie adds that in
the name OF the officers of the Pcnitentiary,
he soliciis investigation into its affairs, and
shall ask that the Representatives of The
people soon to meet, will take measures to
examine into and pass upon, the manage
ment of that institution. We know moth
ing of the causes that have led to this af-
fair, and cannot of course, give an opinion
as to the matter, but wait further develop
ments.

py strain: the next by James Sorley, Esq.
who in. behalf of the ladies, in testimony
of the high appreciation in which he is held
by them, presented Gen. NJ. with hand
some sword. Gen. Magrudcrs reply was
truly eloquent, in the course of which he
expressed his determination to make Texas
his home, aud his willingness to lead Texas
troops until the Confederate empire on our
West shall ouly be bounded by the Pacific.
The ceremonies concluded by suitable
oyation, which was sung by thirteen beau
tiful young ladies.
