Tur NATIONAL. BANKlNG CuRnEN.
Cy.--Tno Committee on Banking and
Currency, at their meeting to-day,
after discussing tho question of the
redistribution Of the currency, ap-
p tinted subcommittee, consisting of
MeSsrs. Coburn, Lynch and Jones, to
prepare bill to report at tho next
meeting Of the committee. In accor.
dance with the views expressed by the
Secretary Of the Treasury the com.
mittco deem it important that some
measure on this subject should pass
both houses before the adjournment.
They arc in possession of appeals from
leading business men and inanciers in
to West and South in behalf of such
Il redistribution Of the national bank
ing currency as will give relief to the
Stringcncy which prevails in those
sections. There was somo talk of
getting up free banking law on the
same principle as :ho present national
banking system, but it was thought
that the national bank interest is too
strong in both houses to admit of the
success of any such measure at this
time. 1t is probable that bill en-
bodying the main features of the one
which failed at the last session will be
prepared ". Y. Herald.

Extraordinary Story About Gen. Long

The Courier.Journol publishes the
following remarkable article:
When it was announced that Ger.
Grant had appointed Gen. Longstreet
to the office Of Surveyor to The Port OF
New Orleans, We at once concluded that
the President was apprised of his ap-
polhtee's having been once indicted for
smuggling, and therefore thought him
the better qualified to detect others who
might engage in similar practices. About
the year 1855. rs we are informed.
Longstreet beng major in tho United
STATES army, and in command Of a mill
tnry post on the American ,ilr of the
RIO Grnnde. was indicted in the district
court OF The United States for The terri.
tory of New Mexico. for the crime of
smuggling; hut wien the United
States marshal went TO the fort to exc.

were closed against him, and be had t.

I'd the application Of the Governor. and
ordered court OF inquiry to investigate

Cuba Revolutionary News.

Hauana, March 27.-The United
States il,g>hip Contooook, Rear Ad-
miral lloff commanding, has arrived
here from Key West.
The report published in this city a
few days ngo that q heavy battle had
been fought between the troops under
Gen. Puclo and the insurgents, in the
eastern department., at some point on
the road from Remedies to Moron, is
untrue. There was only slight skir-
mish between the Spanish troops and
eight hundred insurgents.
The steamer, Comanditario, the
regular packet between Havana and
Cardcnas, left this port on Tuesday
evening last for regular trip to Cardo-
mas, carrying about forty passengers.
Nothing was heard of the steamer
afterwards until to-day, and fears were
entertained for her safety. The news
received tonight, however, announces
that several Of the passengers of this
steamer, who had lately been prison
crs in Fort Cabanas, threated the
crew, took possession of the steamer,
and discmbarkcd the lady passengers,
a portion of the crew and the captain
at Roqucs Key, near Cardenas. The
Commanditario then proceeded, it is
supposed, to Nassau, n. P. The dis
embarked crew and passengers we're
subsequently taken up at Roqucs Key
and carried to Cardcnas.
The steamer Coman,ltario carried
ono days supply Of coal. Vessels
which arrived to day report seeing
the Commanditario of Syrup Keys,
under sail. Others report seeing her
anchored of Bahama Banks, one hun.
drcd miles from Nassau. A Spanish
man-of war has gone in pursuit of
her.
Captain General Dulcc has appoint
ed Mirano to be Governor Of Trinidad, {,
in place of Pulmo.
Intelligence has been received from
S'g"a that a party of young Cubans
organized themselves into military
company, with the intention of join
ing the insurgents, but were betrayed
by one Of their number, and all, in
Guiding MeAuro, their rcputed leader,
were Imprisoned.
"hc Havana journals publish dis
patches from all parts of the island.
The news received is favorable to the
government. Reports of several
skirmishcs between the troops and the
Insurgents have been received. The
steamer Concrete has been armed and
fitted out MS n gunboat, and sailed
to-lay for Cardcnas to intercept tho
expedition which is expected from
Nassau. The Peruvian monitor re-
maincd four days at Iluerto Navajo,
fonr leagues from Gibria, during
which timc the crew was engaged in
cutting wood for the purpose of sup
plying steam.
