The Sentinel says

"our own currency has faller to fifty cents
cents on the dollar"
This may be wilful exaggera.ion on the
Sentners part, or Ignorance Of the simple
rule by which the comparative value Of pa
per and gold is computed. That rule is to
nuke 100 the numerator and the selling
price Of gold the dcnominator, Of the irac-
ton which Indicates the proportion which
paper holds to gold as the unit. Whea gold
goes to 2OO..as ii never has, and we trust
never will-then, and not Till then, viii the
currency have fallen to fifty cents on the
dollar.
The Ssntivers inference that, with butter
at 40 cents, tie farmer is IN fact " only Tt
eeiving 20 cents-the same as he got fur ii
three years ago is, Of course, equally e.ro-
neous. II the price Of gold is taken to iudi-
cate the actual depreciation Of the currency,
then butter would be as high at 30 cents and
q fraction to-day as it was at 20 cents three
years ago. But the truth is that gold If run
up and down by spectators, just as butter
Is. and It's price is by no means the mark Of
the actual depreciation Of the currency. It
is absurd to suppose that the real value of
the currency varies S or 10 per cent. IN a
week-now up and now DOWNS gold does.
The truth is, the farmers pound 0 butter at
40 cents, will buy him about t,ciee as much
real estate, -four, pork, newspaper, and many
other things, as pound would three years
ago, while the cost OF production has pro1a-
bly, not increased over a cent a pound. \
fair allowance for depreciation Of currency
and increased Gust Of production might bring
butter up to q or Is cents. All above that
is speculative extortiOn-

Adi't General Washburn, writes the Time.
a letter of which the following is the main
portion
Every soldier mustered into the service Of the
Unitel States. is paid his State pay from date Of
enl s;ment to date Of muster, throus this office
If n recruit fr oil regiments, it is paid before
he leaves the State. After muster the sollier is
not entitled 10 draw pay from the Treasurer I'M
til the expiration Of one mOqh. The four com
panes Of the l7th regiment were mustered
March lst, 81 AMI 4th. Copies OF the MUSTER
in-rols of Companies 4, D and c we're sent to
the Treasurer, March -, and a copy of the
muster-in-r0ll of Co. D was sent to him March
2S.-ali ia season FIR she first payment which
became due 10 each.
1t was announced in the circular Of January
6, 1854, from this office, that credits would be
given when the muster-in-rolls Of such re-enlist-
ments are received at this Office, and could not
be given until then, and that no other evidence
would supply the place Of such rolls. Il not
unfreouently has happened that the muster-in-
roll, when received has shown that men were
re-enlisted and mustered IN to the credit of a
different town from that to which they have
given their notice of re-enlistment. In all cases.
Is soon 20 muster mr., lis of re-enisted men are
received, notice is sent by mail to the selectmen
of every town shown by such rolls to be entitled
to a credit. There is never any greater delay
than is absolutely necessary for writing the no
tees.
There have been received at this Office since
the first of November, 1868, two hundred and
thIrty-six muster-in-rolls Of ecruIts,-mostly
for old regiments. Copies of all these rolls have
been seasonably prepared as rapidly as it could
be done, and forwarded to the Treasurer. In
but yery few cases and those unavoidable, has
the copy been furnished so late as one month af-
ter the date of the roll In ordinary times, the
copies are furnished within a very few days at
ter the receipt of the rolls. Even in the hurry
ing times of last winter. they have usually been
furnished within twenty days after muster.
The difficulty in obtaining the pay from the
Treasurer does not arise from the fact, that the
nuster-in-rolls have not been reported to him,
but from the fact that recruits are very frequent
ly assigned to a different regiment from that
shown by their muster-in-roll, and their regi-
ment and the company to which they are as
signed, and whether they are ACTUALLY IN the
service, or have deserted on the way, as some
do, cannot be known until the regimental re-
turns are received, which are made to this Oh
fee each two months. Hence the Treasurer de-
clines to pay until the returns are received-
The returns due Feb. 10Th, have not yet all
been received at this Office. All are reported TO
the Treasurer as soon as it is possible to prepare
them, after they are received.
Yours very respectfully,
