An official circular from the Secretary
of the Treasury, after reciting the original
passport order by Secretary Seward, lays
down the following rules:
l, Passports are issued for one year
and need not be surrendered within that
period.
Q. Citizens of the United States, desir-
GUS of visiting Canada, may take out their
passports either. from the United States
Consulates, or from this Department.
8. United States Consular Agents are
not authorized to issue passports; they
may, however, rise those Of foreigners.
4. Travellers making transit through
Canada from one American port to an.
other American port, must procure pass
ports. .....-...- I'll. -
5. Persons residing near the line, who
desire to cross and recross daily, in pur-
suit Of their usual avocations, are "travel-
ers" in the contemplation of the order,
and must provide themselves with pass
ports. Il. Ea E.a .-. Az.
6. Female and minor children, travel
ing alone, are included in the order.
When, however, husband, wife and minor
children travel together, single passport
for the whole will suffice. For any other
persons in the party, separate passport
viii be required.
Z. Should any person, native or foreign,
clandestinely enter the United States, IN
derogation Of the order, the fact should be
reported to the military authorities OF the
District.
These rules, added to the standing IN
structions on the subject are believed to
cover all ordinary cases. Should aih-
Guilty or doubt arise, you will communi-
cate with this Department. .grzg

.GoYr-It always affords US pleasure to
see fellow-mortal happy, and joyful; and
especially friend who has due appre-
ciatlon of the mirthful, glad tidings which
bring the merry laugh. Our usually
grave, sanctimonious, and really christian
like friend, Dan de Guile, local editor OF
the Enterprise, has, above all other things,
an idiosyncracy concerning Pack-trains'
the very sight of which always puts him
into a broad grin of mirthfulness; and
whether it be a train of dozen mules or
a single Chinaman's jack loaded with
fuel, he always makes note Of 1t, and 1t
straightway appears in the columns OF the
ENTERPRISE. Dan was in ecstacies yester-
day, as, witness the following:
A PAcS-rRArS.-Goy to Washoe! live
nack-,rain hath transpired. It did it yester-
5av-to the extent Of thirteen animals. In
early times, when the Enterprise hung out its
SIGN ON A street, pack-trains were our main
stsnd-by-"P Pack train" and " A Man Shot "
were then standing heads in the Enterprise
Office. OF course the sight Of pack train
nowadays is refreshing to our eye-sight...
like the appearance Of an old friend-an old
saee-brush friend Of SO. We shall always
feel gladdened BY the sight Of pack-train-
shall always make an item ont.
We will agree to treat any rancher to a
bottle of Heidseick if he will bring "a
load of hay" into Virginia and let Dan
get sight of it. We believe it would be
the top-sheaf to his happiness The offer
of the "treat" is open for a week.

PHoRBEs. = Our contemporary of the
Humboldt Register is an eccentric genius,
and his name is spelt IN many ways, al
leys and by-ways. We have seen it spelt
Phorbes, Forbes, and for shor0 4bes.
Many of his ideas are as peculiar as his
name; and we only wonder how he could
ever get any woman Che married at Colo
ma) to hitch herself to a man with 50
many names! But, we rather guess II
wasn't his name she was after. But, we
rather like Forbes-or, rather, his paper
and If it were not for the Register, the
world would hardly know that there was
such place as the Humboldt mines.
Phorbes' paper gives tone and respecta-
bi6ty to the country, which is becoming
the nearest route to Idaho Territory-that
is, provided you start from the right place.
4bes, may the Lord bless you!

Financial.

The Alas financial article of Monday
says: ......... ...... .....
There has been very little change in the
price of money since the last week. The
demand has not been large, and the sup
ply seems to be on the increase. The re-
ceipts are more free in the payment OF
accounts, exceeding, probably $l,OoO,OOO
for the week, and money accumulates at
the usual reservoirs. without, however,
producing any change in rates. which re-
main at II per cent. per month for the
usual 80 days.
The demand for bullion exceeds the
supply, and fine Bars are quoted at $50,
| with some transactions even as high as
$50. In some cases it has been difficult
to fill orders. The rates per last steamer
were s65@S60.
The Mint was very active for the mo-
ment, unusually so for the season. The
sudden demise of Mr.. DEMO has led to
the closing of the Mint until authority
can be received from Washington in rela-
ton to the bonds of his successor. This
NAV throw all the business into the hands
of private assayers for some weeks.
Silver, in bars, has been in good de-
mand, at a range of 1@3 per cent. pre-
MUM, with fair shipments by this steamer.
Silver coin is very abundant, and as it is
not taken on deposit, in some cases is
quoted as low as dis. Sales of Mexican
dollars to the extent of five or six thou
sand have been made, at ll4@l2 per cent.
premium, for China. .E.. ..
The rate for Sterling Bills ranges
4s@4SS. The foreign Banks draw at
4S4.
The shipments of Treasure are, includ-
ing silver, considerable. The operation is
somewhat retarded on the last day by the
new requirement, that each shipper shall
clear at the Custom House before the ship
clears.
The rate of freight for Treasure by this
steamer is 4, against per cent. by the
last steamer, amp IL per cent. BY the pre-:
vious steamer. -
The want of news, per telegraph, from
the East, as a matter Of course, unsettles
the value of currency bills on the East,
and the quotation ranges l9O@l97t-l95
@l971 being the approximate rates. For
the same reason Geographic transfers are
nominal at 81. Sight Drafts, payable in
coin, are selling at l3@2-the British
Banks selling at the latter rate.
Legal Tenders have been very firm at
50@5l. The rate to-day was 500 buying
at 81 selling. A considerable amount,
probably 1000, 900, is on the way, to
meet the claims OF Government creditors.

New HOSTING WORKS. According
to the local paper, new kind of hosting
works were erected lately over the pans in
Webber's mill, at Unionville. A gentle
man, formerly from Placer county, Cali
fornia, invented the machinery, and il
proved success, as far as it went; but it
didn't go far enough. Dust like old
Placer-never knew one yet to succeed
except in getting rich and getting poor
again. But to the point: The hosting
works over the pans consisted, first OF
dighs, wrists, elbows, and shoulders, and
were applied in the extraction of amslgam
from the pans. Extracted the amalsam
frst-rate; owner of amalgam "didn't see
it in that light" Placer man got his head
shaved for his invention, and sent back to
CaGfornia-as this id country isn't
good enough for him. ....

MALIGNANT MYTHoLoGY.-A certain
Assemblyman, few days since, inquired
of a certain citizen, meeting him on the
street, whom " Apollo was esteemed to
be among the ancients: The party ad-
dressed, in an of hand and unsuspecting
way, replied: Apollo why, I believe
he was the God of Liars; and Mercury
was the God of Thieves" And then the
classical inforner, noticing that his reply
partly direct and partly superAuous-
did not appear to give entire satisfaction
inquired, in turn: "Why do you ask "
"Oh% exclaimed the enlightened Assem-
blyman, rOh nothing, nothing; only
lady, who is writing from here to my
county paper, calls me Apollo" The
citizen at once proceeded to explain, that
musical Tyres were the articles he re-
ferred to, as Coded over by Apollo; and
that he "put in" the account of Mercury's
moral standing supposing that the Assem-
blyman wanted to give some man, or some
newspaper editor, who had been SANDER
ing him, celestial thunder from the Heavens
of old. His explanations did not seem to
bring reviving pleasantness to the eoun-
tenance of the original inquirer, and the
incautious informer walked away, mourn
fully muttering: "Why didn't refer
him to his honorable colleague in the
Senate, who brought down nearly all the
old Gods, the other day, and parceiled
them out amongst his Senatorial asso-
c;atss 80

~..c.,.,tons aboatHherman.

Tn the absence of Eastern news, the
Msrysville Appeal thus speculates on the
movements of Sherman:
We have been deprived Of Eastern news
for twelve days, and twenty days have
elapsed since we have heard word from
him, and such length Of time, in the
crisis existing at last dates, affords room
for grand successes. The last we learned
of Sherman he was about cutting loose
from Savannah, headed northward. He
had raided south, and was charged for q
greater raid north. The impression pre-
walls that he marched for Charleston.
The movements of the rebels the last we
heard of them, indicated they believed
Sherman looked towards Charleston-that
he intended to send the Palmetto City as
a valentine to Lincoln. Sherman's STRAIT
eey may lead the rebels to believe he has
marched on that city. It would be policy
to induce them to send all their spare
troops on the line believed to be the one
Sherman was to advance on. He may go
to Charleston, or he may intend to make
q more extended march, and suddenly fell
in the rear of the rebels below Richmond.
Having the most unbounded faith in this
excellent General and his brave army, and
knowing it is military ambition to exceed
former exploits, we are induced to believe
that Sherman aims at nothing less than
the capture of Richmond and Lees army.
The capture of Charleston would add new
laurels TO the hero of the West, but fol-
lowing that of Savannah would be con-
sidered trihing in comparison with the cap
ture of Richmond. In fact, the taking of
the Confederate capital would be equiv
alent to capturing both cities, and perhaps
end the war. Sherman can certainly go
where he pleases, and he will be apt to be
pleased to give JEFF. Davis aud Gen. Lee
a call. If he advances on Richmond, we
cannot see how the rebel army can escape.
Grant on the north and Sherman on the
south, completely shuts in the rebel army,
and ensures capitulation. If Sherman
goes where we hope he may, the rebel
capital falls without a struggle. Our
hopes strengthen our desire for news, and
the true state of military affairs. We are
not in suspense anticipating defeat but
terribly exercised for the news of victory.
We pray we may not be disappointed in
our most ardent anticipations. There is a
prospect that the telegraph will relieve us
in a day or two. .- ...... ..-

CONDITION OF KENTUcKY.-The sad
condition of our State is now an object of
much solicituds. It is without adequate
means for protection, and the large portion
Of the territory is overrun by marauders
and given up to plumber and despoliation.
Society is fearfully disorganized, and We
no longer appeal to the statutes for the re-
dress Of a wrong. Lawless bands roam at
will, and the peaceable citizen is hunted
down with the greatest eagerness, and
robbed and murdered in the coolest man
ner possible. The desperadoes bid def
ance to all authority, and they mock at all
attempts to bring them into subsection. A
ruthless warfare is waged. The knife is
red with the blood of innocent victims, and
the ire-brand of the bold incendiary is ap-
piled with feelings of exultation, and
the blackened ruins of many homes
attest how well the work is and has been
done. Trade is destroyed. But few signs
Of prosperity are to be seen in many por-
tons Of the State. The inland towns are
no longer full Of the hustle of business,
Stores are closed, and an air Of desolation
reigns on every side. Men are forced to
dee for their lives, and whole families are
abandoning pleasant homes and moving
to other States. The proud old Common.
wealth has suffered terribly indeed. The
outlaws are preying upon her vitals, and
Il . remedy is not soon applied, the dis
ease win become hopeless. Lands are
last dePreciating. property Is going to
destruction, and everywhere stalks the
form Of ruin.-LoUisriNs Journal.

COUNTY HOSPITAL.

The Legislature has appointed a Com
mittee of both Houses to come up to
Storey county and toinvestigate into the
conduct and manner Of running this insti-
tuition. We have not seen any of the
committee, nor do we pretend to know
much concerning the Hospital, but we
are assured by q gentleman who has IA
cilities of finding out the real condition of
affairs, and he says most emphatically
that the report of the committee will give
the contradiction to the numerous reports
which designing persons have circulated
as to the Encouragement financially and
otherwise, of the Storey County Hospital.
We hope so. We trust for the credit Of
the county, and those who are directly
identified with it, that all may prove salts
factory to the taxpayers.

A SMALL feet of blockade-runners has
been passing up and down the Clyde dur
ing the last few days. Of these vessels
two sailed for their destinations on the
18th of December, viz: the three-funneled
steamer Flamingo, Of 800 tons burden
which has already figured as smart
blockadc-runner, but which, receiving
some damage in the trade, had come home
for repair; and the new steamer florence,
of /, 100 tons, sister to the well-known
smart runner Banshee, and from which
also good work is expected. Two other
steamers are lying at Gareloch, ready to
follow. They are the Alice, of 800 tons,
and Fanny, of 800 tons. These vessels
have already distinguished themselves as
blockade-runners, the latter having made
fourteen trips. Both have lad an extern
sive overhaul. Another new steamer has
passed up the river, named the Amy, of
1000 tons, and is also expected to sail this
week. Several other new vessels are
finishing and building for this trade, and,
up to the 18th, the total number of YES
sells. almoet all of which are new paddle
steamers, that have sailed from the Clyde
to run the blockade during the present
year, amounted to so. They averaged
from 400 to 1900 tons, and were manned
with crews Of from 20 to 90 men each.
The total cost Of these vessels would be
close upon G500, 000.-Scotsnsan.
