About the Currency.

All matilated National Bank notes
sent to the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, for destruction and ex-
change for new notes, should be IN
packages of $500, and should in all cases
5e cancelled before sending, by cutting
out the signatures of the officers; other
wise the notes will be returned at the
expense of the bank for cancellation.
For some time past there have been
repeated larcenies of small sums of
money and trifing articles in va
rious drawers in the counting office
of the Treasury Bureau; all efforts
to discover the thief proved una
vailing, until recently, when the Of
fender was detected in the person OF
one of the female employees, whose
duty it was to prepare the rooms in the
morning. The amounts stolen were
for the most part the property of pri-
yate parties. General Skinner, after
satisfying himself of the guilt of the ac-
cused, dismissed her from employment.
There are no indications of an imme-
diate appointment of Solicitor of the

The Bap,i.t. Of North America.

We have received from the Deposi-
tory, No. II, Fifth street, q copy of the
American Baptist Almanac for 1868. Its
Typography and illustrations, together
with its reading matter and statistics,
making it among the most beautiful
and valuable of its class. From tho
tables here given we find that there are
1,l57 ,22l Baptist communicate members
connected with their churches in this
country These are all regular Baptists.
The figures are based mostly upon the
official returns of 1866, though i'll the
case of the Southern States and Il few
others, they are the figures of returns
that date back several years. The true
estimate, therefore, would place the
the present number of Baptists still
higher than as stated above. Including
other denominations who practice I'M
mersion, the Baptist family in North
America contains 1,Se0,5l7 communi-
cant members.

A sKETCH of George d. Prentice in
the New York Gazette, contains the fol-
lowing: "When at work in his private
office, in an old woolen jacket, and
loose, well-worn slippers, and seen
shufiling sullonly about, he reminds one
more ola ayspeptic tailor than popu-
lar poet and distinguished journalist,
He is not, temperamentally, a sauguine
or cheerful man, and is addicted, es-
pecially since age has come upon him,
to fits of moroseness and gloom. Some
times he will not speak to his most in
innate friends for hours, and appears
anxious to avoid society of all kinds.
Generally he is severe student, and
when travelling is fond of reading, and
is in the habit of making notes on the
margin of the papers which he carries
in his pockets. From such notes, when
he was at home, he would dictate edi-
torials and paragraphs, and frequently
makes q brilliant article out of some
well-wern scrap he had exhumed from
his garments"

The Meeting of Congress and the
Presidept,s Message.

We understand that some doubts e1-
ist as to how the approaching session OF
Congress is to be regarded-whether
merely as an adjourned session, or the
commencement of the regular session OF
the Fortieth Congress. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the President to communi-
cate his views of the condition OF the
country upon the assemblage OF Con-
gress at the regular annual sessions.
Whether he will regard the meeting on
the 2lst instant as the proper occasion
for the communication of his message is
not known, if, indeed, he has arrived at
a conclusion. Doubtless the senseless
legislative tinkering at the laws regu.-
lating these matters has produced great
confusion, if nothing worse. 1t Is very
evident that the Departments generally
are behindhand in the preparation OF
the materials upon which the Presi-
dents message must in the main be
based, and it is very questionable II 1t
be possible for the Executive to do JUS
tice to the varied and important mat
ters which must necessarily engage his
attention before the usual time OF con-
vening q new Congress.-NdhoRdt IN

The Civil Rights Bill Unconstitn,
tional.

The Superior Court of Delaware has
decided that the Civil Rights Act is null
and void. The question arose from an
assault and battery case between white
man and negio, and was sent up from
the Quarter Sessions. A correspondent
of the Age says:
"Chief Justice Gilpin and Justice
Wootten held the act, so far as it at
tempts to interfere with the rules of ev-
idence or mode of procedure in the State
courts, absolutely void. Justice Wales
said, in view of some decisions, and also
of his own impressions, he was inclined
to hold contrary opinion; but on full
ler argument this might be changed.
at was therefore ruled that the
statute of the State remained unatfect-
ed by the civil rights act; in other words,
that it is null and void so far as it at
tempts to interfere with the judicial
systems of the State"

From 81. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, November 6.-Omaha dis
patches received here mention report
that 1000 Sioux and Araphoes Indians
are encamped at the mouth of Big Horn
river, waiting for Mackinaw boats,
which are descending. Chiefs Red
Cloud and Lone Horn would meet the
Commissioners at Fort Laramie, and it
is said the former would pretend to be
for peace in order to obtain blankets
and ammunition, while Lone Horn
would go to Fort Sully for the same
purpose. 1t is understood that they
will only make a treaty on condition
that the Powder river country be sur
rendered to themiby the whites, and if
this is not done war will commence
again with the cry Of determination.
Information from other sources indi-
Gates that there will be no trouble at
Laramie, but on the contrary favorable
treaties can be made with the Indians.
No further news from Kansas have been
received this morning.

An abandoned woman named Mary

An abandoned woman named Mary
Lynn, was found dead in her room at
indianapolis the other day, having
taken an overdose of opium, which she
was in the habit of eating. She was
woman of good family, and of more
than ordinary beauty. An Indianapo-
lis paper says that within two hours
after her death the remains were on the
way to the graveyard, and her effects
on the road to an auction room. Such
is life. 's
