Secretary of the Treasurv.

The Courier is authorized to say that tn
nomination OF Mr.. George A. Trenholm, of
Charleston, for this Office does not meet with
his concurrence. His views in relation to the
currency, and the management Of the fnsn ccs
ofthe Government, differ essentially from those
adopted by Congress, ANA to which it is the
duty of this officer to give practical value ana
eff cheney.
The best chance of success ought to be given
to the Congressional scheme, and to secure for
it this advantage. the administration of the
Treasury Department should be con6ded to a
gentleman whose views are in harmony with
those of Congress.

Early's Expedition.

The announcement, from Northern sources,
that diversion from Gen. Lees amy, under
Gen, Early, was marching upon the snemy's
country, and threatening Washington, has sur
prised very many OF our own people. 1t n
true that vague hints have been thrown out
from time to time OF certain movements look
ing to demonstration upon the Yankee Capi-
tai, to be made with view Of drawing Grant
away from Petersburg but it has not been
commonly believed, that, Gen. Lee, although
amply protected against the assaults of Grant,
was in a condition to spare as large force as
would be necessary to ensure the success OF
the expedition. or this, however, Gen Lee is
the best judge aud the country has confidence
in his sagacity and discretion.
But with all our confidence in this great
stiategist, 1t is Impossible TO repress all anxiety,
not to say misgivings. in regard to the result
Of the undertaking. A failure Of the main ol'-
jsct you'd bs damaging in the extreme; for whilo
IL might enable Grant to obtaa important ad.
vantages around Petersburg and Richmond, it
would certainly aid Lincoln materially Is, re.

still numerous; a call upon them to protect

know by e4perience and unless Early's forge

This is the third experiment Of carrying the

eeding have been generally accepted a. fail.

The Military situation at this juncture is Of
more than ordinary interest. The stragetic
movements Of Johnston and Sherman have
reached point where a decisive battle must
in few days decide the fate Of Atlanta aud of
Northern Georgia The repeated retrograde
movements Of our Geveral have had depress.
ling effect upon the country; but the general
tenor Of the reports which we get from Allan
ia is that of mistaken confidence in the result
Of the impending battle. Gov. Brown seems
to be fully alive to the ex'yencies OF the hour
and has ordered to the front the'w whole militia
OF the State, including details and exempts
from Confederate service.
