NEW SECRETARY or TREASURY.

s'''' Il
Secretary Fcssenden rctires from
the Treasury, and Hugh McColloch
succeeds him. Mr.. McColloch was
the Comptroller Of the Treasury, and
next to ex. Secretary Chase, has the
best insight INTO financial matters
pertaining to the Treasury of any
in tho country. He has been
long connected with the financial af.
fairs Of the Government, and has the
confidence OF all. How far he will be
successful in his now position re
mains yet to be seen. The people
have confldenc in him and can only
hope that he may prove himself wor.
thy Of that confidence. II is to be
hoped that the new incumbent, with
tho benefit Of the experience of his
predecessors before him, will arrange
our finances so as to bring gold down
TO a reasonable prcmium--from 1875
10 $50.

les.

Accounts from the different dc
portmeDts of our armies, show tina
the rebels are deserting in considera
bic numbers. Every day brings 1t,
quota of dosertcrs into our lines
many Of them bringing their arms
with them.
This is q good indication of the
speedy close Of the war. The rank
and file OF their armies are discour
aged and disheartened, and see the
hopclcssness of gaming their indie.
pcndcnoe. or course they take the
only means left them 70 make peace
With their rightful Government, and
desert. None hut those in high CON-
inand have any idea of the possibil-
ity of success, and probably even
they hold out for tho p"rpose Of max
ing better terms with the Govern
ment. Like all rebellions, when dis.
affection once gets at work so in this
it will increase to such an extent Us
TO ruin the cause. There is no way
for the rebels TO stop this deserting.
They are being defeated, they are
short of provisions, their money is
worthless and their government is
crumbling. What is there to stimu-
late q man to fight for cause that is
ready TO fall from innate weakness ?
Disafgcction will increase and soon it
will be hard matter for rebel com
mander to tell upon whom he can re-
ly. May their eyes be opened by
further Union successes, and all the
rebels return to their allegiance.
