A complete list of the casualties in the 64th Ga., will bo published by us as soon as re ceived. -This regiment contains two companies from this city and we learn that it fought with great gallantry and suffered severely. A number of the members of the Company below named requests us to publish the follow* ing and our columns are ever open to anything laudable to gratify the soldier: BEAULIEU BATTERY, ) Fob.uary 5-*h, 1864, j GENERAL ORDERS, No. 8. 1. Without inquiring as to the usage upon such occasions, the Captain commanding, oannot permit the opportunity to pass without tender ing to the officers and men of Company H, 54th regiment of Georgia volunteers, his hearty thanks for their uniform good conduct and the prompt and cheerful performance of their arduous du ties, during the entire period they have composed a part of his command. It is usual, Unfortunate ly, where troops of! ditierent.arius of the service are quartered contiguously, that unpleasant dif ferences arrise, whijeh being encouraged, rather than checked, by the indifferences or petty jeal ousios of officers, not unlrequently grow into serious breeches of 4 fraternity, and re salt highly injuriously to tbe public service.— Bat how different has been the association and intercourse of [Cap . C. R. company and bis own. For a period us seven months the two Companies have uncomplainingly and with out the slightest misunderstanding; or disagree* ment between officers or race, divided the re sponsibilities and duties incident to their impor tant out post, and so far as com manding is aware, they part this day with sor rowing hearts as ‘'‘brothers!” May the officers and men of each company long cherish the fepl ins of respect and fraierai y that have grown up botweeu them, and may a kind Providence, after our country's injdopendenoe shali have been achieved, vouchsafe to thorn a safe return to the hearthstones aud embraces of their friends, By order.

Cordially entering iuto the spirit of theforego ing, tbe Adjutant cannot refrain from tendering to Cos., H. and its officers his personal and heartfelt sorrow at parting with thorn, and, while he bids them God speed upon their new field of duty, ho does so with the hope that sometimes pleasant reminiscences of their sojourn at Beau lieu will spring uj> and remind them of his sin cere regards as an officer and friend, and what soever of glory their valor may achieve for them hereafier, will be sung by him as of dear and valued comrades. Adieu. Wm. K HANLEITER, Sen. 2d Lieut, and adj’t. The Currency, military, and Tax Bills. The injunction ol secrecy having been re moved on last evening from these important Bill?, we set aside all other aidtter to lay them btfore the reader. They are the most vigorous acts of legisla tion ever attempted on this continent, and will prove as equal in their operation as circumstances would, perhaps, admit. Wo think they will at least be sure to fulfill the chief objects,—the re duction of the currency aud the support of the army. Much may be pardoned if these things are done. These laws will, ot course, fail to give universal satisfaction ; bat that could only oe attained by acts which would fill the army without putting any man in the ranks and turn paper into silver dollars without diminishing their number. Unfortunately this is impossible ; and we are inclined to think that Congress has done the best that could be expected in the present situation. —[Richmond Examiner.

After our evening edition went to pres**, we heard the following particulars in reia« tion to the landing of the Yankees on Whitmarsh island. Earl' on Monday morning the Yankees landed a force of from three to tour hundred on ihe island from a number of barges. A force of about one hundred and fifty men from the 85th Pennsylvania, under the command oi First Lieut Alichener, immediately advanced and drove in our pickets. So rapid were their movements, that they succeeded in cutting off about one hundred and fifty negroes, to gether with their overseers, who were en« gaged at work in ihat vicinity. These ne groes, however, wilh the overseers, suc ceeded in making their escape and reached our,lines in safety. Our troops soon opened.on the enemy, and repulsed ihent. We captured Lieut Michener, a corporal, named Shillenbereer and a private named J. C. Baiiey, of the 85th Pennsylvania regiment. Several of the enemy were wounded. We lost one man killed, belonging to Maxwell's light battery. This' was the only casualty on the Confederate side. No negroes were lost. Lieut, Richardson hrought the priso ners to this city, and they are now confined in the barracks. During yesterday afternoon The enemy were engaged in shelling the island, lor the purpose, no doubt, of covering the retreat of their forces. Latest from Florida. —By passengers who arrived in this city last evening by' the Gulf train, we learn that on Sunday there was a se vere battle near Lake City, in which the enemy were completely defeated and routed- It is re ported that the 64tb Georgia lost severely in officers and men, but no particulars of the casual ties, other than those reported in yesterday’s paper, have been received. The enemy, how ever, were driven to their entrenchments, leav« ing their dead and wounded on the field. We understand that Col. Robert H. Anderson, of the fiih Georgia Cavalry, will command the cavalry forces in Florida. Col. George P. Harrison, jr., of the 32d Geor gia, will command a brigade, consisting of the 32d Georgia, 11th and 18th South Carolina, and 59th Virginia troops. Gen.

Canova, Operator. • The Currency Bill.—A member of Con gress informs us that the following were some oi the figures and estimates at Rich* mond: Amount of currency out in millions, 800 Os which there is in 100s, 230 Interest bearing Treasury notes funded by the act, 102 Estimate of notes lost and destroyed, 60 Thirty-Three per cent, tax on re mainder, . 136-627 Currency after Ist April, 273 This i« to say, 273 millions, reckoning at on the dollar. .The fax act, it was thought, would produce 350 millions, an exee&soflll ui ilium a over ihe amount of 100s afloat. Upon thin statement it will be evident that money is going to be comparatively very tight. In a short time it must be worth double what it is now—or, in other words, prices must tumble. The policy of everybody therefore, is to sell now while prices are high, there’ll be profitable uso for every dollar.—[Macon Telegraph. ‘‘ The Spvtng Cauipalgn." The following paragraph, lrom a New York paper, shows that the Yankees expeot warm work in she spring : The rev. ia -win not give up without another anti a harder struggle. There aro plans to be thwarted, new combinations to be met, hard battles £o be iougfat bolero sve reach the end. They have at least, two hundred thousand men in th s lieid, and ihe forced conscription of every aria bearing man, which they are.now rashlessiy carrying o »t, will swell the-.e ranks before the winter is over into a formidable mass. If we have tour hundred thousand Jet us remember that wo stand towards them in the attitude of besieger*, occupying an exterior line still, and that wc should have, all o' her things being equal, a much larger force than theirs. To this end the cry of every General in high command is, men ! Le; our present force be doubled, and let us work in t nesß preoious months of winter to preo paro an overwhelming advance in the spring, or earlier if need be. Sob jtute Men Can’t Broome Contractors. Tac Lynchburg Virginian says : We understand that ihe Secretary of War has deuid and that the substitute men, as they are called, .. ho aro liable to service in virtue of the repca l o’ substitute law, shall, in no case, be al lowed to evade service through the contract sys-i tern. No contracts will ba entered into with them. They aro to be soldiers and nothing else, 1 unless specially detailed for some special duty. With all our objections to the repeal of the sub stitute law, we think that this decision is wise and just. It will, by patting all of this case on an equiil footing, allay much of the discon tent and heart burning that would otherwise have existed. Men who, through adventitious eircatn: lances, by the use of money, would have had u decided advantage over poor men who had not the means to enable them to do so, or n ho would bo ua willing to engage in such tricks 10 evade thb operation of the law. Since the repeal of the substitute law the most monstrous and bare-faced efforts of this kind have come to our knowledge. Improvis ed contracts of every kind, entered into fre quently with subalterns of the Government scat tered all over the country, would have kept more than half me moneyed men now liable to ser* vice out of tlje h-.ui.ds of the enrolling officers. It is well, therefore, that a rule has been es tablished that will preclude the possibility of discrimination that would not only be UDju&t hut odious to the people Gay Times at Washington.— The Con stitutional Union says of Washington life s Gayety is rife iri certain circles here* Dinners,.balls, bops, levees, dress, diamonds and extravagances everywhere. Have they ever a moment’s thought of the hor rors of war ? No, they do not even dream of such matters; but, on the contrary, they indulge in rwelry and all manner of reckless sport, as though believing that “nobody is hurt.” Let the spectres of the millions slaughtered since their pleasures began sit heavily on their guilty souls. Another of Lincoln’s Jokes.— A North ern paper tells the following as one of Mr. Lincoln's “funniest jokes .” A young lady applied to a physician for specific for a bad breath. “Let me smell it,” said the Esculapius. She breathed tfn him. “Ah, Miss,” said he, “you must chew assafeetida.” ‘O, dear me ?” exclaimed Henrietta, throwing herself into the rocking chair, “I’ll never go the post office again, to be ooked out ot countenance by all the men on the corner. It’s so provoking! What can I do, Sarah Jaiie, to stop those awful men staring me la the face ?”. “Do as I do,” re plied Sarah Jane, with a sly look—“show your ankle.” A recent number I the London Times con tain* eom-r very striding sentences.
