lsT VERMONT BRIGADE.-The Beuning-
ton Banner says: capt. Ayers of the reg
ular army has been given the command of this
brigade, the feld-oficers having asked that
this position be given to the gallant Cap
tain, he having been in command Of battery
connected with the brigade, from its organi-
cation till his appointment as Chief Of Artil-
lery Of General Smiths corps, and subsequent
ly of Franklin's Grand Division, during which
time the brigade and Captain Ayers have been
together on near a score Of bsttle-felds. Gen.
Ayers knows his men, and the men know their
commander, as soldiers learn to know each
other by the faithful performance Of their du-
ties. Gen. A. was in the Mexican war, and
at the first Bull Run commanded his battery
CALAMITY, earning high encomium, and bring
ing from the field his battery and horses-a
a result accomplished by no other battery
on the field Of disaster. At An
tietam, during the battle, Gen. Mcclellan
asked, Capt Ayers, can your batteries cross
Antetam Creek?" my batteries, sir, can
go wherever they are needed" replied the
Captain, and his guns were quickly on the en-
emy's side of the Creek. We have no doubt
the General will be able at any time to say
of his brigade as he said of his batteries.

The Currency Question.

OF the twenty-three Senators who voted
for the natiosl currency bill, all we're Repub-
licans except Arnold (Union) of Rhode Is
land, and Nesmith Union Dem.) of Oregon.
OF the nays, six were Republicans, to wit !;
Collamer and Foot of Vermont, Cowan of
Pennsylvania, Dixon Of Connecticut, King of
New York, and Trumbull of Illinois. OF the
Senators from States supposed to be most in
favor of a "uniform national currency" nine
were for the bill and eight against it. 1t is I'M
questionable that the bill will be exceedingly
burdensome to all the country banks which
depend materially upon circulation for their
profits, If those banks are to be forced into
the system of banking provided by the bill I;
but still, il it be necessary for the general
good and the safety of the country in the ex-
isting and coming financial crisis, nobody can
doubt that the country banks ought to me t
the sacrifice cheeriully. That is the dictate
of patriotism. | must confess, however, that
unless the scheme shall be made practically

In the Senate, the currency bill was con-
sidered, Senator Collamer speaking against
it. Secretary Seward, in reply to resolution
of the Senate, reported THAT no suggestions
were made to NJ. MERCER by the Secretary of
State that induced, or were designed or calcu-
lated to induce him to undertake mission to
Richmond in April last, or at any other
time" nevertheless that several foreign min
listers were permitted, by the President. to
visit rebel states, on their own affairs, the
United States Government having authorized
them to make no representations to, and hav-
ing itself had no communication with, the
rebel government.
In the House, nothing of unusual interest
was done.

Admiral Dupont transmits to the Navy
Department official documents concerning
the reported breaking up of the blockade Of
Charleston. Among the documents is a
statement signed by the officers commanding
all the vessels comprising the blockade at
that point, to the effect that the British Con-
sui and Commander of the British war steam
er Petrol bad previously gone five miles be-
yond the usual anchorage Of the blockaders,
and could see nothing of them with their
glass, is in every particular false.
They also say no vessels were sunk, and
none set on fire seriously but two vessels
are injured of consequence. After which the
ram made hasty retreat and anchored under
the protection of the forts and remained there
No vessels, iron-clad or otherwise, passed out
over the bar after the return of the rams.
They conclude thus:
"Ihese are the facts and we do not hesitate
to state that no vessel did come out beyond
the bar after the return of the rams, at be-
tween seven and eight o'clock in the morning
We believe the statement that any vessel
came anywhere near the usual anchorage of
any OF the blookaders, or up to the bar after
the withdrawal Of the rams, to be deliberately
and knowingly false. II the statement from
the papers, as now before rs, has the sane
tion OF the Petrol and Foreign Consuls, we can
only deplore that Foreign officers can leave
their official positions, to be spreading before
the world, for an unworthy object, untruths
patent to every officer in the squadron"
