is pFlviEi9us. A glance ct The bill, AOwsvsr,
saHsfss Us thst hs press telegrsus from Reh
mend conveyed N entirely erroneous idea Of its
chalzeteT. BY emitting al msniiJu Of the pro-
v lsi0n for the exchange Of I'll old notes (sxceps
those Of he den5miHKiiJn Of Sl00) for nav
B5,e-, SO ths rstc g! 663 cents on the dollar, NO
wcr1 sis tJ the Inevitable conclusion thss this
schsgls contemplated the exEincsiou Of the pre-
sent currency 80 e 7glus in any other shape than
tbst Ell Conioaerste four per csHt bonds, BY he
lsg Of January next. By emitting the tnrtbsI
infer1etioa that bills Of tbs denomination of
I've dollars, which were excepted from the 334
per cGut. forfeiture on tne lst Of April, incQIrsd
il on the Let Of Juiy, We Esrs len to infer thai
the fiEes and under would constitute, ont Of the
vast eirculssfon Of the Confedsfsey, ths only
permanent currency until new n0ses were Is
susd
But instead Of this sweeping programme. The
sehe1ns Of this bill is briefly 10 sweep out Of
eireaasion the one hundred dollar notes and enc
third of the sum total of he others. Ths hOl-
ders Of notes below the dsnominstien Of one
hundred dollars, have the option Of fundiBg
bsm before tho ffst OF April in four per cezt
bonds, at par OF attsr that time, Of funding them
at one ihird Discount, or exchanging them at

sre net exchHngzable for EeH notes, sRa are
moreover sabjecs to an additional forfeiture Of
ten per cent per Esenih alter tho LEI Of April
Instead, tbea, Of = Curtsdment Of 95 per cent.
Of The present currency BY the lst of January
next, he bill provides probsbly f0T reduction
Of little more hAR one half
For example, we ses il asserted thst the actual

about seven hundred millions OF this amount,

DEsrMATToH OF THE PRIsoHBRs.

Maior Mulford flag Of truce officer, was in
waiting to receive the prisoners 70 whose care
they were eonsigRed on arriving Of the boat,
though Captain Linnell and bis guard were re-
tainsd to accompany them down the bay. Maj
Muford's orders for the disposition Of the cap
lives are Of \ secret nature and have not yet
transpiTed. Gen. Terry's orders for the removal
frem Sandusky expired when the men reached
Baltimore. L is, therefore, unknown what IS
now to be dons With them. Some suppose, from
the fact of their being transferred to Msi Mul-
ford. that they are TO be immedistelY taken to
City Point for exchange. The original nnpres-
sion was that they were to be qusrtcfod indetin.

BALTIMORE, FEB. I3.-As the telegraph has
already informed you, the tTGnsfeT Of pTisonerG
from John50n'B leland near SSRdusky. to some
point on the Chesspesko Bay, commenced on
Wednesday last The intention was 70 lavo
made the movement on Tuesday, but unforeseen
difficulties prevented. On Tuesday moE-ing
SanGusky Bay, which on .he previous day hsd
bgea outIaly free Of ice, vrs frozsn over. A
boat had been sent 70 the island on Gondsv ev-
eEiDg, 30 be in readiness 70 take on It's loAd OF
prisoners and sthit for the maitland At the ear
liess m0meui ia the morning. BY seven o'clock
sh7 had her load OF two hundred On board an6
started on her trip. The strength of tho new
made ice effefei so mucs resistance to the pas
sags Of the boat that i required upwards of six
hOuTs to make the trip-s distAnes Of three
miles during ell this time the prisoners we're
huddled on the open deck Of the beat, exposed to
the msrciless north WiGd, from which they could
find 20 shelter Their saffsfiugs from the cold
wee very great, bus fortunately not serious.

Fo colmunIcATIoN ALLowEp.

Throughout the whole trip aud in this city
the utrn0st care hss been taken 70 guard against
suy. communication between the prisoners and
she popUlscs, and it is believed that not civil
len has spoken to enc Of them since they left
Sandusky. This was made the subject of
special and very stringent O,deTs from the War
Dsnarsmeni where the removal WAS considered
a matter Of more than ususl importance. 1t is
important in Ike fact that the 400 brought
through, being all CfiiceTs, are equivalent to q
great many moro men. Thus Gen. Thompson
Is equivalent to twenty. So each colonel repre-
sents fifteen, oach Northumberland ten, ma
ior eight, and q captain six, and lieutenant
four supposing the mean rank Of tho party to
be that Of captains, tho party represents 2,4OO
men. But the average Of rank vail probably be
greater than that Of captain, and the company
s vyerth 70 as doubtless 900 men in exchange.
AZ the same estimate the 2 800 rebel officers yet
remaining at Johnaon's island are equivalent to
70 II $50 men.
