The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun says that an application was made to
the War and Treasury departments, on the 18th
uitimo, by two u s. Senators from Southern
States, for the recovery of certain silver plate,
spoons, &c. These valuables formerly belonged to
the families of said Senators, and were supposed to
be among the prizes of war captured BY Sherman 8
army during its ''march to the sea, y The Treas
ury Department have in charge the boxes contain
ing these honorable trophies, having received them
from the War Departmentfor safe keeping. Upon
this application these boxes were opened and thor
oughly examined. The contents were found to be
articles strictly contraband Of war, according to
Sherman's code, to wit, watches, plate, jewelry,
aces, &c. But one article belonging to either SEN
ator was found, viz one silver spoon with his ini.
tials engraved thereon: The searching Senators,
we presume, are Joshua Hill and II. '. NJ. Mil
ler both of Georgia. :. ,........ .... .,,.
Gen. Beauregard as Financier. go.
"A few weeks ago, MI. R. W. Clarke, Third
Auditor of the Treasury, found on his accession to
Office, an account of $lO.5O on his books against
Gen. Beauregard. He promptly made it out and
sent it to the General. Beauregard responded i'm
mediately, acknowledging the correctness Of the
account, but enclosing counter account against
the Government for $l65.50, for transportation
from West Point, N. Y, to New Orleans in Janu-
ary and February 1861, inobedience to orders from
the War Department. He says this account was
not paid, the quartermasters department at New
Orleans being out of funds at the time, and he re-
quests Mr.. Clarke to deduct sl0:5O from this
amount and remit the balance at his earliest con.
venience. .r,~.. 90. ..-,r.. - 80. -.
This is one of General B. most brilliant flank
movements, and his request is nothing but just !;
for as he reminds the Auditor, his resignation was
accepted to take effect February Goth, 1861, and
not before. Greeley thinks the Treasury officers
made very little, either pecunarily or otherwise,
out of their presentation Of an old bill Of $l05O
against General Beauregard."

Pouring Oil on Governor.
"A very interesting ceremony took place in
Atlanta, Ca, last week. E. B. Pond, proprietor
of the National Hotel, Gen. Terry, Commander of
the Department, and R. B. Bulloch, Governor of
the State, were seated in front of the hotel one
night, probably conversing on affairs of state.
While thus engaged, Gaines Chisolm, noted
sporting gentleman of Atlanta, came up, accompa
MED by several friends. When within few feet
of the party, Chisolm stopped and asked Pond
what was trumps?' Pond made some unknown
reply, whereupon Chisolm exclaimed, "well, it s
