Thu Florida.

The crew Of the Florida is composed of Eng
lishmen, Irishmen, Germans, &C., and contains
no citizens of the rebel States. Among her
officers, however, there are several Southern
ers. Surgeon Charlton, who is now on board
the Kearsarge, is a native of Georgia. He was
before the war an officer in the United States
Navy, and was stationed for several years in
Chelsea. lie has many acqualntances In Bos-
ton. He was here on the day of President Lin
coins first election, and left shortly after to
tender his services to the Southern Confeder-
acy. He ls a gentleman In appearance and
manners, and not reluctant TO speak.
Surgeon Charlton expresses full confidence
that his captivity will last for only very lin
tied period, believing that the whole affair will
terminate as did the seizure Of Mason and Sill
dell three years ago. If the demands which
he thinks will be made by the Brazilian Gov
ernment are disregarded by our authorities, he
looks for an Endorsement of the claims by the
Governments OF Great Britain, France and
Spain, in such a manner as to compel. COM
piiance. The rebel officers profess a complete
Indifference as to the result Of yesterdays elcc'
tons.
Surgeon Charlton estimates that the Florida
has steamed over forty thousand miles since
she left Brest, not having spent ten days II
port In nine months. During her career she
has captured about forty American vessels.

Depreciation OF Confederate Money.

The chief difficulty u be apprehended in
connection with our finances results from the
depreciation of the Treasury notes, which
seems Justly TO be attributed by the Secretary
to two causes: redundancy in amount and want
of confidence in ultimate redemption; for both
Of which remedies are suggested that will com
mend themselves to your consideration as being
practicable as well as efficient.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
The main features of the plan presented are
substantially these: First. That the faith Of the
Government be pledged that the notes shall
ever remain exempt from !xa on. Second.
That no issue shall bo made beyond that which
10 already authorized by law. Third. That a
certain fixed portion OF the annual receipts
from taxation during the war shall be set apart
specially for the gradual extinction of the out
standing amount until II shall have been re-
duced TO Slt) ),0C 1000; and Fourth. The pledge
and appropriation OF such proportion of the
tax In kind, and for such number of years after
the return OF Pc .ce, as shall be sufficient for
the final redemption OF the entire circulation.
The details of the plan, the calculations on
which 1t is based, the efficiency of its opera
tion, and the vast advantages which would re-
suit from Its success are fully detailed In the
report, and cannot be fairly presented In form
sufficiently condensed for this message. / doubt

WASHINGTON CITY AND ITS PRosPECTs.-T
feebleness of this municipality is shown in a
Presidential crisis. Its brightest and most in
AuentiAl residents are TO great extent but en-
camped within 1t. There are hence but few
home-llke residences. Trees, shrubberies and
lawns are not cultivated in and around 1t. The
earth has nude surface, and In sunny seasons
the atmosphere is pervaded with its floating
particles. We are encamped for one, two,
three, or at most, with any confidence, for four
years. When, with the blessing of heaven,
peace and prosperity shall return 10 the nation,
the gates OF It's capital will be open TO industry
and enterprise, and there will come an Increase
Of population, rendering the stable residents 80
numerous, relatively to the transient perS0p.el
OF the Government, that the ebb and fow Of the
latter will no longer be felt. Then will begin
the prosperity and the beauty Of city adapted
by nature for the attainment of excellence In
each. When the crisis of the present tempest
shall have passed, and clear skies shall over
spread and surround us, fortunate will be the
possessors OF sites for dwellings within the
city, and OF broad acres in the picturesque re-
gions within the range Of vision from its proml'
, nent elevstions.-C Correspondence Phiad,iPhio

Gen. walIscs's Order Concerning Eman.
oIpRtion In Maryland.

BALTIMORE, Nov. l0.-Major Gen. Wallace
has Just issued an order setting forth that seer
tain evil-disposed parties in Maryland intend
obstructing the operations, and nullifying, as
far as they can, the emancipation provision OF
the new constitution" He therefore orders
that all persons within the Middle Department,
heretofore slaves, are now free, and are under
special military protection until the Legisla-
ture shall pass such laws as shall make mill
tary protection unnecessary.
A Freedman's Bureau is created, the Office
to be In Baltimore, and Major William NJ.
Este is appointed to have 1t In charge. In
order TO make the bureau effective, Major Este
is authorized to institute Investigations, to
send for papers, and to make necessary arrests.
The provost marshals of the various districts
are directed to hear all complaints and report
the same to Major Este, who Is directed to take
possession Of the Maryland Club House, which
is now by order named the Freedmen's Rest.
AL moneys collected from friends are to be
appropriated TO the use of the Freedmen's
Rest but for immediate wants Major Este Is
directed to draw on Colonel Woolley.
1t Is further directed that should the moneys
derived from donations and from fines collected
prove insufficient TO support the institution In

Tn. Recent Assault on Castln., Maine.

The Augusta (Malne) correspondent of the
Advertiser says
"The late attack on the battery at Castine is
one OF the most lDe$plicablC aiialrs that has
taken place during the war. To the present
time II is not known who composed the attack
ing party, how many they numbered, where
they came frem, whittier they went, or what
object they could have had IN their attack. II
their object was plunder, as In the baked at
tempt on the Calais banks and the successful
one on those OF 81. Albans, they were '.lly
enough If they imagined the capture of the
battery was a step in that direction; equally
incomprehensible is their conduct II they
were bent on a general destruction OF life or
property; aId what other motive could have
impelled them is difficult TO conceive. There
is one hypothesis, which is at least as reason
able as any theory yet advanced, that the whole
affair was intended as practical Joke-a very
poor joke certainly; but there are some people
who are capable of conceving Just such jokes
and believing them very funny,

RELIEF for paroI.d Soldiers.

The United States Sanitary Commission have
sent an agent and n stock of Its supplies with
each vessel of the feet which has gone TO sa-
vannah 10 bring our paroled men North. The
Commission has also made arrangements to
alleviate the sufIerings of these men upon their
arrival at Annapolis. Large invoices of stores
will be sent there from New York, Baltimore
and Washington, and the force of relief agents
increased according to the largely augmented
demand for their valuable services. Combs,
handkerchiefs, towels, and many other articles
not furnished by the Government, will be dis
tributed among the men in large quantities.

THE CHASE OF THE TALLAIIAssEE,

1t would seem, from the accounts received
of the chase Of the Tallahassee, or the Olustce,
by the sassacus, that good opportunity was
lost through lack of a wholesome reckless
ness on the part Of the commander OF the
latter vessel. The captain Of the sassacus has
an affection for his heavy guns and guncar-
rages, no doubt; also, for his shot and shell
and proyIsolsj but he has missed an opportu-
nifty that may not occur again in his lifetime
to have destroyed a powerful piratical craft at
sea. Had he possessed the hardihood to have
lightencd his vessel by every possible means,
when he had discovered the true character Of
the chase, he might have immortallzed him
self
He carries ten big guns and the pirate but
two, and he could have pitched overheard suf-
hcient dead weight to have overhauled the
pirate.
OF course, officers are drilled into the belief
that they must preserve their batteries, and
that Is the reason why they do not catch vessels
at sea. Admiral Porter's father raVaged the
Indian Ocean, destroying the British commerce
there almost entirely. He was chased by the
british navy for months, and his prlvateer was
finally destroyed in the harbor OF Valparaiso
| lying at anchor, as tho Florida was when cap
tursd.
And the British were always Obliged to dc
atroy priyateers in neutral harbors, because
they couldn't catch them at sea- and the reasoI
why they couldn't catch them we suppose u
have been the traditional rules against wasting
guns and ammunition, etc.
