A full and detailed report has been made
by committee of our released surgeons
from Richmond. It is calculated 10 create
q profound sensation in the country, and
will prepare the world to have little sym
pathy with the pirate crew whose craft is
nearly wrecked. The treatment Of our
brave officers and men will live sm0Dg
Fueh recorded bsrbarisms as the Black
Hole Of Calcutta.
Ibdicsuons are that the amount for
which the Treasury is to be called on to
carry on the war and sustain the several
branches Of the Government, through the
ensuing fiscal year, will be very conside-
rably less thar has been anticipated. The
exact figures of the War Department esti-
mates are understood to amount TO $685.
000, COO and cf the Navy Department 10
Sl42 100000. An approximate statement
for other expenses will be:
For the Interior, Treasury and other
Departments S36, 900 900.
Interest on the Public Debt S68000 900.
Diplomatic expenses are increased, but
this will be balanced by the decrease in
the amounts asked by the Land and In
dian Bureaus. The estimate for interest
on the public debt is believed to be large.
The debt is largely increased in the item
Of $40 bonds, and decreased in certificates
Of Indebtedness. The 30s fall due dur
ing the fscal year, for which these esti-
mates are made, but as yet it is undecided
whether to pay them in gold or paper,
and as they are convertible into Sizes Of
81 it is uncertain how large an estimate,
or whether any is needed for their re-
demption. The whole amount OF these
1905, payable the ensuing year, is $780,
600, ,000-partly due the 18th Of August,
and part the lst of October, 1864. These
certificates Of Indebtedness cannot be
given as their amount will depend on the
number yet TO be issued. It is estimated,
however, that they will smount to about
Sl45, ,000 600. In addition to this the
temporary loan is due any time on sixty
| days notice. This loan has been reduced
by payments within the last month from
ever SIO0, COG, 900 to less than $50 600, 900.
Reports from Surveyor General Clark,
Of Mexico fully establish the truth Of the
reports Of rich deposits Of gold in Arizona.

Much sOlioitude is felt here for the con-
dition of General Burnside's forces. It is
believed that when the facts are known, it
will be seen that there we're satisfactory
reasons for not furnishing him reinforce
ments.
Colonel McKellany has returned from
command Of the conValescent camp. Gen
eral Abercrombie succeeds him.
A question whether to put gilt letters
on the National Bank notes is yet IN
decided. Objections are made to the
appliance of such. Its advantage Is an
absolute safeguard sgaiRst counterfeiting
by photographs.
