Redemption of Mutilated Currency.

The comptroller of the currency offers
the following suggestions relative to the
redemption of mutilated circulating
notes of national banks:
First the notes are to be redeemed
by the banks by which they are respect
lively issued, and should not be returned
to this office in sums of less than five
hundred dollars, or even in multiples OF
that amount.
Second-Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received
when presented by the bank that issued
them, provided all the fragments are not
so tar obliterated that it cannot be de-
termiued by what bank the notes were
issued.
Third-Fragments should be redeem
ed by banks, in full, when accompanied
by an affidavit stating the cause and
manner of mutilation, and that the
missing part of the note is totally des-
troyed. The good character of the affi-
ant should also be fully vouched for by
the officer before whom the affidavit is
taken"
These affidayits must be forwarded to
the Comptroller's Office, with the frag-
ments to which they relate, in order
that the banks which present such
parts of notes may obtain credit for the
same.
Exceptional cases may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, and where
no reasonable doubts can exist ip.EsGsrd
! to the entire destruction or ilefbafable
damage to missing portions of1otes-as
by fire, acids, &c.,-where evidence of
identity is ample, by the signature Of
one or both officers, or title or locality
Of the bank, and the denomination of
the note--where the integrity Of the
bill-holder is unexceptionable,a and where
no question could arise in regard TO 9
fraudulent or improper use Of missing
parts; in such instances judicious dis
elimination must necessarily be exer-
cised by the officers of banks. It is,
however, advised that such notes be re-
ceived at their full face value, and a
perfect note given therefor, record be-
ing preserved Of the fact, so be sent to

R All the volunteer troops of our
army ia Central Texas are to be with
drawn, and will be replaced by regulars.
A large number of the volunteers, both
white and colored, had arrived at Gal
weston from the Rio Grande on thr 22d
instant, on their way home, 10 be mus
tered out of service. Some of the Texan
people profess approximations of negro
outbreaks after the withdrawal of the
troops, and have petitioned Provisional
Governor Hamilton for the organization
of State militia.

GENERAL GRANT,-As has already been
reported. General Grant left Washing.
ton for southern trip on Monday last,
and arrived AZ Richmond on the same
day. There are various opiuions and
surmises with regard TO the object of
his visit, and also as to how far he in
tends 10 proceed. 1t is stated that he
expressed himself with considerable free
dom with regard 20 Mexican affairs, de-
claring among other things that the
Macmillan usurpation is part Of our
rebellion, and, being such, is a nuisance
that our government should abate. He
further remarked it is stated, that we
have nothing to do with France in this
Mexican business, unless Louis Napoleon
chooses to take umbrage at our support
Of the Juarez government, and If he does
and desires to go to war with this cOun-
try, now Is the best time for us, before
our army and navy shall have been com
pletely reduced to the peace establish
ment. 1t was expected that General
Grant would leave Richmond for
Charleston Tuesday evening, and return
to Washington ia time to be there when
Congress assemblies.
The probability is, as the Boston
Journal intimate that the Lieutenant Gen
eral does not intend to let his high
Office be a mere sinecure but that it shall
be of great usefulness to the people in
peace, as well as in war. There is
enough to demand his closest attention,
and TO call into exercise all his rare
powers.
The withdrawal of our forces from the
South has perhaps, been carried far
enough already, and the right distribu-
ton of those that remain is a matter of
great national Importance. The prac-
ticed eye of Gen. Grant will at once COM
prehend the whole field, and we shall
soon have such disposition of the ma
tional troops as will best secure general
order and the special protection and well
lare OF the freedmen. Ana then we
have no doubt also that Gen. Grant will
so take in the whole drift of events and
temper of the people at the South, that
President Johnson will derive more in
struCtion from this tour of military in
spection," as 1t is called, than from all
the other travelling observers who may
have thus far reported at the White
House.

FrRE.-Last evening about five o'clock

to be on fire. Openings were immedi-

a stream of water thrown in by the hose
belonging to the machine shop, but the
pressed hay continued to burn for some
time. The top of the car was finally
broken to pieces, and the bales got out
In damaged state.

by the rebels in Cape Fear river, below

Forts Fisher and Caswell, by the ma

amauga's piratical career was short
but quite successful one, she having run
out from Wilmington through the block
ade in October, 1854, destroyed several
vessels Off our northern coast within
the following two months, and returned
to her port OF departure, again eluding
the blockading squadron, few days be-
fore the Cape Fear river forts fell before
