The volume of currency has only been
increased to small degree during thepast
summer, which stands as remarkable TACT
in view of the enormous requisitions Of the
War Department. In closing up the &C.
counts of the army no other country did
anything like it, and the Secretary Of the
Treasury not only considers the present
condition of the finances favorable but be-
lieves it in his power to meet sll the requi'
zitions prior to the meeting of Congress
without any expansion of the currency.

FROM ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, September IA.
General Grant and family spent to-day
at the homestead OF his father-in-law, Gen.
Dent nine miles from the city. No public
demonstration hss yet been made in his
favor, but at the request OF Mayor Thomas
and q number of prominent citizens, he
will visit Lafayette Park tomorrow after
noon, where he will remain three hours,
giving the masses OF the people an opper-
Iunity of paying their respects to him.
The English. party arrived this morning
and proceeded TO the Lindell House, where
rooms had been reserved for them. A
steamboat excursion on the river, witness
ing the capacity and efficiency of steam
fire engines, drive to the Botanical Gar
dens, and other prominent points about
the city was the order OF the day. A supper
at the Southern Hotel will be given them
tonight, to which all the distinguished
persons in the city are invited. They
leave tomorrow morning for Chicago, via
Terre HAute and Alton, and the Illinois
Central Railroad, by the same train, and
accompanied By the same party that es-
corted General Grant to that city.

Records of the War.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, makes the following in
teresting statement:
It will be remembered that, until last
winter, every year number Of military
reports were specially ordered to be print
ed by Congress. General McClellsn's,
General Rosecrans, and few other reports,
were thus published at the public expense.
Their publication was not under competent
professional supervision, and hence the
historical value of the books produced is
not as great ss it might have been. Dur
ing the last Congress, however, resolution
was passed putting stop to the desultory
publications, and authorizing and directing
the Secretary of War to cause to be col
lated and printed In proper form sll the
naners and documents Of every description,
OF any historic character, having bean col
lected in his department from the fall of
1860 to the close Of the civil war. This
Congressional mandate will be faithfully
acted upon, and will result in due course Of
time in the fullest possible military history
of the rebellion. Of course the comp ilR-
ton will embody only loyal material.
To carry this undertaking through in q
creditable manner will require the contin.
uous labors of . number of compilers for
several years. The public can form no
idea of the vastness OF the material already
piled away, snd still pouring into the War
Department in q steady stream. In a
number of rooms the walls are covered
from floor to ceiling with shelves, cases
and boxes, in which the vast accumulations
sre stored away. OF course large portion
of these records consists of irrelevant mat
ter, not required for the military history.
To separate the nWhest from the chatiD.
will be q most tedious, protraoted pro-
cess. The magnitude of the task OF gettirg z
the essential mattsr ready for publication
may be inferred from the fact that it is the
intention to print every despatch, every
order, every letter, every report, from
Generas commanding down to the
commanders of the smallest bodies.
OF course it is impossible at this time to
estimate the number of volumes TO which
the work will swell. I would not be sur
prised if it exceeded fifty large sized ones.
The sub-reports of Gen. McClellsn's pen
insulA campaign alone sre said to contain
matter enough TO I'LL dozen. The work
of collGting has been progressing for some
months, but so far only the matter relating
to the events of the first SIX months of 1861
has been put into shape. The first volumes
viii probably be printed during the COM
ing winter.

A correspondent of the Concord On. HI
Statesman writes:
Professor Rugglss of Dartmouth College
on Friday evening. While walking on
Goat Island with party of ladies' one of
them dropped her psrasol, which slid some
fifteen or twenty feet down the bank of the
river. Mr.. Ruggles went down and picked
it up, but on attempting TO return, the
bank being steep, and the ground hard, lost
his footing and fell down to the very brink
of the precipice, which at this point is
eighty or ninety feet high. Here he
caught hold of the roots of an upturned
tree, the trunk of which hangs over the
abyss. The shock caused the tree to shake
violently, and it appeared on the point of
falling over the precipice. The ladies
shrieked and called for help, but no assis-
tance st hand. A movement on the part
of Mr.. Ruggles, or 8 gust of wind, seemed
sufficient to cause the tree to fall. At this
critical moment one of the ladies took off
her basquine and skirt, cut them into strips,
got shAWls and other articles of clothing
from the rest of the party, tied them TO-
gether, fastened stone to the rope thus
formed, and let it down to Mr.. Ruggles,
who, taking hold of it, walked slowly up
the bank. It was q moment Of fearful sus-
pense. The rope was held firmly by the
ladies' above but it might unite or break,
and 8 fall of hundred feet on the rocks
below must be the inevitable result. When
Mr.. Ruggles reached terra JfrDsa, his fair
reseuer, who had shown such remarkable
presence of mind, tainted and was taken
home in an unconscious state.

The telegraph gives us this morning
some further returns from the election in
Maine. They show 8 Union mSjerity, in
three. fourLhs Of the State, of Is. GAO, 8 gain
of nearly four thousand on last year. The
total gain is probably about six thousand,
sad had full vote been pOlled it would
have reached ten thousand.
This triumph is triumph for Negro
Suffrage. This was the only question in
issue before the people Of Maine. The De-
mocrscy scknowIeded the abolition of slAv.
cry and endorsed the policy of President
johnson. The Union men made the cam
psign openly and fairly on the principle
that the ballot should be granted to all free
men everywhere. OF course there were
some timorous gentlemen in Maine as well
As in Ohio, who we're terrified at the idea Of
going before the people upon this issue, and
predicted sil manner Of ruin to the partyii
What has been the resuI2 The people Of
Maine have endorsed the principle of Negro
Suffrage, and endorsed it, too, by q majority
much greater than was giver to the Union
party at the previous election.
Let this result be lesson to weak kneed
wire pullers, who are eternslly being
frightened BY political scArscrOws from the
discharge of duty. We venture to predict
that wherever Negro Suffrage is made the
issue the Union party viii gain votes, as it
has in Maine. We look to Iowa and
Minnesota to Justify our prediction.
