The Herald's Washington dispatches con-
tain the following The Report Of the Comp
troller of the Currency was yesterday sent
to the printer. In treating the question OF
National Bank and Currency, he refers 70
the taxes and revenue, which have bearing
on the subject, and in this way VIII present
an array Of valuable facts 10 our law max
ers, which if sustained by proper legislation
will gs great way toward solving the pres
ent difficult financial problem. 1t is under
stood that he will urge the removal OF the
Bureau to New York. A prominent question
before the next Congress will be the in
crease of the Regular Army. Gen. Grant IS
| understood to favor the mastering out Of all
Volunteers, and such additions to all the
arms of the service as would make the nom
inai strength of the Regular Army about
rs. 600. Too little attention has heretofore
been paid to the Cavalry in times Of peace,
and some new measures for recruiting and
drilling this arm of the service may also be
recommended.
The abandonment Of the depots of Gov
eminent supplies in the Southern States,
consequent upon the gradual withdrawal OF
troops, has caused Gen. Howard to issue a
circular authorizing the Assistant Commits
sioners of States to make requisition
| on the depots still remaining for such ra-
tions as will be required for thirty days in
their respective departments for the benefit
/ of the refugees and freedmen.
| The freedmen's bureau has information
that collection of persons in Mobile is try
ing to underbid negro labor by agreeing to
| furnish German emigrants just off the ship
at lower wages than negro could suosist
on. The scheme meets the appreciation OF
large planters, as it enables them to intiet
a crushing blow upon their former chattels,
| for whom they cherish no particular alice
ton. Respectable white and colored Ia
borers around Mobile protest against this,
/ and ask the Bureau to interfere.
| = The War Department has issued an or
| der announcing the decease Of General Pere
DeRussey, of the Engineer Corps, and re-
uuiring the Engineer officers to wear the
usual badge of mourning for the period OF
thirty days.

port, the 4th Auditor of the Treasury

The Herald's Richmond correspondent of
the 9th says that General Grant was heart
ily welcomed to that city by the military
| authorities. He freely expressed his opinion
! while there regarding Mexican affairs. He
| said emphatieally that the advent of Maxi

was part of the rebellion, and his immedi-
ate expulsion should be part of its history.
France did not ask our consent to establish
a throne in Mexico, and we should not cen
suit that power in re-establishing the Re-
public. Hs said that France had no right
/ 10 interfere in the question, but If she would
| involve herself with us in war on this
point this is the time to have it, while our
army and navy is yet organized, and before
our commerce is again set ahOat on every
sea-
Itis expected that the last of General
Howard's voluminOus report Of the freed
mems affairs will be in the hands Of the
printer by tomorrow.
From Charleston.
The Herald's Charleston correspondence Of
the 25th says The assumption of the COM
mand of the Department of South Carolina
by General SickIes, as successor to General
Gilmore, took the people by surprise, they
being inclined to think that it indicated the
dispIeasure of the government at their short
. | comings in the work of reconstruction, anc
a proposal of the government to re-establisE
martial law, and call another session Of tht
State Convention. The people were IN grea
, excitement.
General Sickles has removed the depart
ment headquarters to Charleston.
Only meagre returns OF the election TO
COngressmen had been received, but ex
: Governor Aiken has been chosen in the Sec
: ond District, which includes the city O
Charleston. That is regarded as a defeat o
the secessionists.
I There had also been in session in Charles
2 ton a convention of the colOred people Of tn
: State, whose proceedings were marked by
great display of ability and decorum- Thei
resolutions strongly disavowed any Insured
tionary designs or feelings Of enmity to
wards their former masters, and leclar
g their only object to be the Improvement an
elevation of their race.
. Over 1900 negroes left Charleston in
D body on the 22d inst, to return TO Sea Is
