Company, which was lost in the Mississippi
river sometime since by the burning Of the
steamer Jacob Garter, having been recovered
by wreckers, it has been forwarded to the Treas

order to have the contents thereof examined,
and such notes as can be identified redeemed.
Gen. Spinner, Treasurer, received the safe
about one month since and had the same
opened, and the examination OF the contents
commenced by competent persons, the express
company paying all costs of examination. The
contents were found to be much charred and
burned, though many of the notes can be
identified but as yet no idea can be formed
as to the amount which can be redeemed
Fractional currency, national bank notes, ard
legal tenders of all denominations were in the
safe. and up to this date about $4,000 has
been Identified. The legal tenders and frac=
tonal currency which can be Identified will be
redeemed by the Government, and the national
bank notes by the respective banks, A large
portion of the money is so charred that 1t Will
