NV spirit has been most strangely stirred
by the manner in which the press speaks OF
the repassage Of the RaPpahanncck by Cen

An unsuccessful assault Is spoken Of as q

retreat after field fight, and TeQulse after
an assault.
An oficer commanding a ratification is
considered disgraced if he does not repuls' at
least two assaults, even after the works have
been preached.

THE REGISTRY OF THE TREAS
URY.

We have before us an interesting report
from the Register Of the United States Tre-s-
urer, L. E. Chittonden, Ed, TO The Secrc-
tary of the Treasury, Hon. 5. p. Chase
The report is under date Of November 90,
1862, and contains a compact ami business
like exhibit Of the character and amount Of
the transactions which have to BE- attended
to in that Office, distributed unier their re
sPcc!iye heads. The Register Of the Tres
ury gives great credit to the chief clerks Of
his Office, for their industry, fidelity and
accuracy, anI presents forcible reasons why
there should be some notifications By law
Of the mode in which some Iarts Of the bu-
siuess Of the Office is now done, 30 prevent it
from failing into arrears. - the ietriment Of
both pul!.c and private interest. The rules
ard regulations, he says, have existed as they
are without substantial alteration flr moTe
than thrty years. To suppose that the
force and capacity Of an Office ample when
the receipts and expenditures Of the govern
ment announced to fifty OF sixty millions Of
dollars in a year, would also be sufficient
when the expenditure amounted to shai SUN
monthly, Is little less than absurd.

ting under way, and has been talked and
speculat-d about for months, and the iur-

decisive blow in the rebei country

with the who e force he took with MIN, COT Id
have contributed IN the slightest degree to a
different result. Now We do not vet believe
that. weak as the Administration has b,en
IN many respects, It would furnish out an
expedition ON So large a scale as Banks
without having some finite end in view
