Aaniral Dahlgren's Health,

Mr.. Fulton, editor of the Baltimore Amerieas,
denies emphaticslly tha, Admiral Dahlgrsn's
health has been inj urcd by visiting the Monitors
and living on board. He says:
The facts are the very reverse of this. Though
not robust man, Admiral Dahlgren has exhib.
It'd through the siege the most dotermin ned and
unfaltering energy. He has led the Monitors
In every engagement, and has never for one
day or hour been incapacitatcd for the moot
energetic performance Of his duties A real
dence Of thirty days on his flagship enables na
20 speak omphasfcafy on this PoInf. ~ =
During that time we never heard of his even
complaining OF indisposition. We had seen
him daily and heard from him almost momen-
tarily In the delivery Of orders and messages
to the members Of his staff, who have had
scarcely moment OF leisure from dawn to
midnight. His signal officers could be seen at
all hours communicating his orders to the feet
and transmitting messages to aud from Gen.
Glllmore's headquarters, indicating an activity
OF mind and purpose that was truly gratifying.
II is only necessary for us TO add that his last
words, uttered less than week since, indie sted
that he was prepared for a long siege or q short
siege. "If one plan fails," he remarked,
another will bo tried, and as to ultimate sue
cess have never had doubt"

The Ausi,ation Of United states Cur

The principal reason for the regulation In

ted upon the Treasury, by making up notes
from Fragments torn or cut from different parts
OF like notes. No note 10, or ever has been, re-
Jected for being porn by use or otherwise, nor
for any kind II dsfdcement, SO that Its character
can be discerned, nor for being torn, however
badly, so that the pieces returned will const-
tute niue-tenths Of note OF the fractional cur
rency, or nineteen-twentieths OF q United States
note. 1t Ia only where q piece, to the extent
above indicated, is torn or cut off for purposes
of fraud, or from malice or wanton careless
ness, and not returned with q note for redemp.
