II the Contipental Monthly. for February, is
long and very able article from the pen Of the
Hon. Robert ]. Walker, formerly Secretary Of
the Treasury, on our National Finances. He
gives lucid statement OF the necessities Of the
Treasury, points out the causes and the fatal
results Of deprecated currency, what policy
and measures ars required 70 maintain the Ne.
tional credit, indicates how the issues Of Treas
ury Notes and the present Bank circulation mu-
tusl!y tend to the rapid depreciation Of both.
shows that the remedy is substitution Of ma
tional for local or Bank issues. according to the
plan of Secretary Chase, demonstrates that this
plan, if adopted year since, would have saved
many millions to the country, and that if not
now promptly adopted, still greater lose will
result, and finally passes to the discussion Of the
constitusionality of State Bank issues, and the
right of the Nation to the exclusive regulation
Of the currency. This latter portion Of his ar.
ticle We publish in another column, and earnestly
urge upon our readers its candid consideration.
As Mr.. Walker remarks, the maintenance
Of the Union is more question of finance than
Of anything else. If. BY any means, the curren-
cy can be kept in healthy condition, all other
requisite means for the overthrow of the foul
Rebellion can be obtained and employed with.
out serious difficulty. The trouble is caused by
excessive Bank issues. These must be restrained
in some mode. Mr.. Walker thinks it not too
late to adopt and put in operation the plan of
Secretary Chase, though it NO uld have been
wiser and better to have done 80 on its original
suggestion. ~. N1

TEE STRIVE have received two letters

The three soldiers from the eth Conn. Regt.
must have had a severe time fiti in escaping from
the Libby Prison, Richmond. Stopping at farm
house to obtain refreshments, they fell in with a
rebel government detective, whom, above all
things they would have chosen to have avoided.
In lieu of having their wishes gratifed, they were
questioned and cross-questioned by their host who
In short, claimed them as deserters from the rebel
army. They were not long in taking to their heels
after this new chapter in the history of their mis-.
fortunes had been opened A vigorous pursuit
was made by several armed men, assisted by blood
hounds, who were Immediately put on their track.
Weary to exhaustion, they concealed themselves,
after long race, in slight furrow in the earth.
The dogs missed their scent near this spot, and
were called off by their masters and put on new
track. Thus these daring fellows escaped, by per-
haps the iuckiest chance in the world, and soon
thereafter reached our lines, to relate their tale of
dangers, daring deeds and fortunate escapes, more
romantic than romance itself.

REAR-ApM1RAL S. F. DU PoNr.-On the 18th of
July number of the leading citizens of Philadel-
phia wrote Rear-Admiral Dupont, expressing their
desire to tender him mark of the high apprecia-
tion which they entertained for him as an officer
and man. "Your great victory at Port Royal,
they said, "will stand unsurpassed in the history
of naval warfare and your zeal for the success of
the national arms will be remembered as an exam
pie to your professional brethren" Admiral Du
Pont replied, declining the dinner; but said it was
very gratifying to him that they proposed to so
acknowledge services which in another quarter had
been appreciated so differently. He closed his
letter by saying: 60 I owe it to my companions in
arms to say that the county cannot estimate
the obligations due the officers and men who, un-
der my command, won in battle foothold on the
coast whence the rebellion had expelled every
vestige of the national authority-held that coast
for four hundred miles with grasp of iron, which
the enemy strove in vain to break, and which for
eign nations were compelled to Respectable

A COOP THINa.-The Volunteer Engineers at
Morris Island have a society among themselves by
which when man is disabled some assistance, in
the way of material aid, is afforded him and if he
is killed or dies in the discharge of his duty his
family if they are in want are provided for. AS
an instance of the value OF this society, it may be
mentioned that when Sergt. Clark, was killed the
other day, sum of over two hundred dollars was
at once sent to his widow, to help establish her in
some little business by which she can support her
three children. The society, we learn is regularly
organized and managed by a committee of nom
commissioned officers, under the general supervis-
ion of Col. Serrell who takes lively interest in
this benevolent and really soldiery institution for
soldiers in arms should be brothers in affection.
1t is surprising how much is accumulated and
what good can be done with the savings of a So
ciety which only cost the members few cents a
week Not nearly as much as it would be spent
for glass of beer, is all that any one Is asked to
contribute and yet hundreds of dollars are col
lected and many respectable family saved from
want. 1t would be good plan for all the regi-
ments in this command to organize similar So
cieties.

We learn from Paymaster Adrew Tower, an
old acquaintance, of the U. S. S. Para, that that
vessel, under command of Acting Master E. G..
Furber, had very narrow escape with all on board
from the terrible blow Of the 10Th and 18th ult.
While bearing up for Fernandina, and only four or
five miles distant, at p. m, on the 18th the wind
suddenly hauled to the eastward, blowing directly
on shore. An effort was made to get off into deep
er water, and away from the breakers which are on
every side the entrance to Fernandina, failing in
which, both anchors were let go. The gale in
creased in fury and it was found impossible to
keep the vessel from going ashore, unless by cut
ting away the masts, the cables could be relieved
of the strain upon them; at the same time prepa-
rations were made to throw overbooard some of
the fhirty-two Founders attached to hawsers: The
masts were cut at s, P. NJ, on the 17fh and at ten
O'Clock the fury of the gale was reached, but the
vessel was enabled to ride it out, and was towed
into Fernandina on the morning of the 10Th, by
the o. S. S. Potomski, Capt Welch.

WATCH PREsENTATION.-DAvID McGREGoR,
ESQ.,. Chief Blacksmith. was the recipient on
Thursday evening of splendid gold watch and
chain from the numerous employees in the estab-
ishment The presentation speech was made By
Mr.. R. LINDSAY, his able assistant, in very hap
py manner. He took review of affairs from the
occupation of the place, two years since, till the
present time, and during the delivery was warmly
applauded. Mr.. McGregor, who did not anticipate
the cause of the meeting, was taken somewhat by
surprise, yet replied in an equally fecitous man
ner. On the back of the watch is the following
inscription:

THE Posr.-The Sanitary condition of our Post
is excellent and reflects credit upon the gentlemen
in charge. The fears of contagion are infinitely
less, and the cool, frosty nights that will be soon
here, will keep away yellow jack. The latest re-
ports from Key West, says there is not a case of
yellow fever thus far, which we may say is without
parallel.
