The following is the correspondence rela-
ting to the payment Of the fYe-twentY bonds
In cOin upon the announcement of which
the London Times made its comments con
cerning American securities
New YORK, NovemberI3, 1866.
" The Hon Hugh DC CuIIoch, Secretary of
the Treasury, Washington, d. G.:
DEAR SIR-We have good reason for
believing that an impression prevails very
generally in London, and to some extent in
Paris and Germany also that the United
States Government will avail itself of the
option Of paying the fye-twenty bonds of
1862 next year, and that the liquidation will
be made in currency This idea keeps the
bonds much below the price at which they
would sell were it understood that the Gov
ernmCnt regards itself as bound to pay them
in gold ,r-
= q Should you deem it proper to give an
explanation Of your views as to the kind in
which the principal Of the bonds is payable,
of which we could make use through our
European circular, we have no doubt the
opinion would be Of much interest to foreign
investors in our funds.
" We are, dear sir, your Obedient servants,
al. P. MORTON IL CO"
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, November Is
GENTLEMEN-YOu favor of the 18th
inst is received. l regard, as did also my
predecessors, all bonds of the United States
as payable in coin. The bonds that have
matured since the suspension of specie pay
ment have been so paid, and l have no doubt
that the same will be true with all others,
this being, as understand it to be, the
established policy Of the Government. The
fi7e-twenty bonds of 1862 viii either be
called in at the expiration of five years from
their date and paid in coin, or be permitted
to run until the Government is prepared to
pay them in coin.
am, very truly, yours,
HUGH MOCULLoCH. Secretary.

Among the Prophecies.

A pamphlet has been issued In Belgium
conveying to the curious and the credulous,
information almost as remarkable as that
contained in a recent volume, that the plays
Of Shakespeare were written, not by that
man. but by another man. The substance
Of the pamphlet is that Louis Napoleon is
the destined monarch of the world; that he
is anti-Christ, and the beast of the Reve-
latiOns, whose number is 665-see chapter
I3, verse Is, which number, singularly
enough, it itappears his name spells in Latin,
Greek and Hebrew. Thus, the Latin for
Louis being Ludovicus the number Is found
thus, L-50-3t-5-d-5005O U-5 i-l-c l0O-lI 5-S-O-
666. = Again, the Greek, for Napoleon Is
NapoIeonG, and N-50-al -p-80- 30 e-5-0-1O On
SO t30O-j-l0-666 in Greek letters Fur
thermore, in Hebrew, it is stated, the words
Louis Napoleon BORapGrte make up the
mystic number, 666. The same pamphlet
states that ApoUyon, or, in Greek, Ap0teon,
the name of the predicted anti-Christ, seems
almost identical, and with N preixed, which
Is the abbreviatiOn of the word nGe-verIly
or trulY-means N-Apoleon-tTuLg Ap0E
lyon. This Is singular, to say the least, par
ticular when compared with Daniels descrip-
ton of the last great destroyer, that he
should be a being of inscrutable cOuntcnance
understanding dark sentences, and, by his
policy, causing craft to prosper in his hand,
destroying many by peace, being, also, at the
outset, a vile person" Both prophecies
seem to point to the subtle character and
appearance, and peculiar antecedents of him
who 50 falsely asserts that " the Empire is
Peace" see Daniel, 2chapter 8, verses %

TIE BURIAL OF EOsEs. .

The following lines were written years ago
by an unknown poet, and first appeared in
the Dublin Magazine, the editor Of which
offered handsome reward for the name OF
the mysterious author. There is beauty and
pathos-a pure poetic fre-gleaming from
every word employed, resembling the streak
that glows on old oceans cheek, ere it grows
into the great, great sun:
And he buried him in a valley. in the
land of Moab, over against Beth-peor; but
no man knoweth of his sepulchre Unto this
day" Dcut. xxxiy 6.
The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1866-12-15

BY Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side OF Jordan's wave,
In vale in the land Of Moab,
There lies q lonely grave;
. And no msn dug the sepulchrs,
And it e'er,
For the angels Of God upturnsd the sod.
And laid the dead there.
That was the grandest funeral,
That passed earths
But no man he ard the trampiRg,
Or saw the train go forth
Noiseess the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak oceans cheek
Grows into the great, great
NOiseless as the springtime,
Her crown Of verdure weaves,
And all the trees atI the hills
Open their thousand leaves
So, without sound of music,
Or voice Of them that wept,
Silently drown from the mountains crown,
The great.prOcessiOn swept.
Perchauce the bald old eagle
On gray Beth-peor's height,
Out Of his rocky eyrie,
Look'd the wondrous sight;
Perchanee the lion stalking.
Still shuns that halIowed spot.
For beast and bird have and heard
That which knoweth not
Bat when the warrier dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed, and mufied drum,
Follow the funeral car;
They show the banner taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless stesd,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the uoJlest of thezland,
Men lay the sage rest,
And give the bard an honord grave,
With costly marble dressd
In the great minister's transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the choir sings and the organ rings,
Along the embazOned wall.
This was the bravert warrior
That ever buckled sword,
This the most gifted poet
That breathed a word;
And never eartbs philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathIess page, truth half sage,
As he wrOte down for men.
And had he not high bonOrr
The hill side for his pail,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers talll
And the dark pines like tossing PluRes
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods hand, in that lonely land
To lay him in the grave
That deep grave without a name,
Whence his uncohlnd clay,
Shall break again-most yondrous tho'tI
Before the Judgment day.
And stand with glory wrspt around
On the ALL he never trod,
And speak Of the strife that won our life
With the inearnate Son Of God
o lonely tomb in Moab's land!
o dark Beth-peors hill!
Sneak to these curious hearts Of ours,
And teach them 70 be stills
God hath his mysteries Of grace,
Ways that cannot tell,
He hides them deep like sacred sleep.
OF him he loved so we'll
