New YORK, Sept IA The Times Wash
ington special says the prisoner Wirz is
suffering from a severe degree of nervous
prostration. He has been growing more
| and more nervous as the trial has pro.
ceeded, and at every recital of some ad.
| ditional act of revolving cruelty he suf.
| fers increased agony of mind. He has
more feeling than appears by his expires
sionless countenance. tie now rests his
hope for escaping extreme punishment
on the ground that others higher in au.
thority are being positively inculpated
by testimony as it is developed.
Certain papers, whose course in regard
to finances has always been inimicable
to the Government, are seizing on the fact
of a further issue of compound interest
notes to assert that the volume of the
currency is being largely increased. This
is untrue. All the compound interest
notes now being put cut are exchanged
for those Of older date, bearing interest,
which accumulation Of interest is saved
the Government sby the cancellation of
old notes, or they are used III exchange
for the 5per cent notes, or for the redemp-
ton of certificates of Indebtedness. The
volume of the currency has only been in
creased to a small degree during thepast
summer, which stands as a remarkable
fact In view of the enormous acquisitions
from the War Department, In closing
up the accounts of the army, no other
country did anything like it, and the
Secretary of the Treasury not only con
siders the present condition of the imam
ces favorable, but believes it in his power
to meet all the acquisitions previous to
the meeting of Congress, without any
expansion of the currency
A special to the Herald from Washing
ton 18th says: 1t is contemplated by the
President to entirely withdraw the troops
from the South in short time, leaving
the States lately in rebellion to reorgan-
ize on basis of civil government, pre-
cisely as they stood before the late war,
with the exception of slavery. This pol
icy is said to have arisen thrAugh the
good sense of the leading Southern men
themselves, in accepting the present po-
sition of affairs, as disclosed in the inter
view between President johnson and a
considerable deputation of their leading
men at the White House the other day.
Thus the late slave States will not have
any soldiers left among them, but such
as may be required to garrison the sever
al forts, and those, as in the Northern
States, will be retained in active service
only for the purpose of meeting any
emergency that may arise from the ac-
tion of foreign powers.
