TREASURY DIFFICULTY.

FREExAS CLARK, Comptroller Of the
Currency, has written sharp letter to
Secretary McCULLocH, in which he says
that the published statement Of the con-
dition of the Treasury and public debt is
inexcusably erroneous. Also that the

Of bonds, and concludes Il will add
that ! can show to the satisfaction of any
one, that neither Of your monthly reports
for the last four months has shown to
return fifty millions of the amount OF
money in the Treasury, or on deposit in
national depositaries In reference to
this quarrel, the Commercial Advertiser
says 1t is quite proper that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury should understand
that there is grave disapproval, among
a large majority of practical iinanciers,
Of the policy of secret negotiations
adopted by the head of that department
Both bonds and gold are understood TO
have been sold by family connection.
These facts may well dispose Congress
to deny the Secretary the carte blanche
authority for funding short obligations
and contracting the currency, as pro-
posed in the original Finance bill They
should show necessity for the funding
measures pending in Congress; strictly

March. But it is not Of St P, or any
other Saint, that the present pen purposes
to write. The middle of March may
differ little, from the middle of any other
month, so far as incident marks the thing
we call history. But the 18th day OF
March, 1856, heaped clods upon the
bosom of one of the noblest youths that
ever lived. In his gray jacket, garment
riddled with bullets, and scorched with
gunpowder, he was pnt under the ground.
He fell in one Of those episodes of battle

the success of his mission the General
