THE TREASURY DEFARTMENE. ,
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
makes a most gratifying exhibit.of the national
finances. The receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1866, were $558,000,000, and for
the quarter ending September 30,1866, SI 58,-
000,000. The actual income exceeeded the
estimates by $90,000,000, and the expenditures
were $200,000,000 less than tb% estimates.
The decrease of the public debt from the
highest'point is slated by the Secretary as
follows : . - -
Debt August, 1865 $2,757,803,686
Debt Oct. 31, 1866 2,551,434,121
Decrease $206,379,565
The balance in the Treasury on the 1st of
October, 1866, was $142,000,000. The public
debt on Jdn'e 30, 1865, less cash in the Treas-
banks ; but now that such banks are needed j cams lances: In 1S30 he war exiled to Siberia

meet these obj ections, and at the same time
attain the desired end, it is recommended that
the amount of circulation be increased, but
only in proportien to the decrease of legal
tender notes. “ Bearing in mind," says, the
“report, “ the regular monthly reduction of
“ legal tenders at the rate of four millions per
“ month, as provided by law, an increase of

HOG CHOLERA CURE AND
PREVENTIVE.
T)R0MPTED by a desire to benefit our coun-
V 7 try, and also to establish an important
in science, we have concluded to offer to
the pbllc the above named remedies for the
cun and prevention of Hog Cholera. Medical
gentlemen of skill and experience began a se
ries of examinations when the cholera first
began in this country; after having performed
numerous post mortem examinations tipon the
bodies of hogs which had died of cholera,
and after great research and investigation to
determine the nature of the disease, led by
(lie lights arising therefrom, they undertook
the cure of the complaint by various remedies.
They found several articles beneficial,' but
success was not fully attained to until the
above named medicine rf-fis tompounded. The
medicine was not sought out fop the purpose
of sale, but the great success attending its
use has induced them to form a company and
pbtain a Patent. We offer ft as.being, under
the accompanying directions, full}’ capable of
arresting any epidemic of hog cholera, and
prompt in giving relief when properly admin
istered. \Ye Confidently believe that the rem*
edy is a specific; yet we do not recommend it
as infallible in all cases, though we have never
known it to fail, either as a cure or preventive
against the further spread of the disease when
used agreeably to the directions, notwith
standing those free from thedisease have been
kept in close proximity with those diseased.
It is a great Toni<\ and will successfully
remove Mange, Sore Head and Vermin, either
tfff which will affect the health of the hog, and
stop his growth and development. Nothing
will make hogs so thrifty as this remedy. We
offer no patent remedy (or the cure of man,
hut we think that the public will esteem us as
benefactors when they consider that we have,
for years, beer, investigating the diseases of
domestic animals/ which form not only a part
of the wealth of the country, bui afford sus
tenance to man. Allow us to add that bog
cholera is but a mild disease when taken in
Its early stages with this remedy, which will
also remove worms from the bowels, and if
administered once a month by the directions,
will forever prevent any injuries from the Tri-
ihina Spiralis, which produce such alarming
Symptoms in persons who eat trichinous pork.
Thousands of applications have been mad® to
the Patent Office Department of the United
Stares, in behalf cf remedies to cure Hog j
Clr . - , but we, alone, have been able to pre
sent .lie unquestionable testimony necessary
to procure the Patent now ir. our possession,

$31,000,000 for the year. But four month af
ter, that is, on October 31, 1866, the debt was
$2,551,000,000, showing a decrease during
these four months of $99,000,0(0. With the
present vast income of the government of the
United States the debt would necessarily
continue to decrease more rapidly, because
nearly all the claims for war expenses have
been paid. Bnt the Secretary says, “ It is not
expected, nor is it desirable, perhaps, that the
same rate of reduction should be continued."
The estimates of the Treasury for the last
three quarters of the fiscal year to June 30,
1867, are as follows :

The following description of the late Mr.
Poe, the poet and critic, is from the pen of Mr.
Gallagher. To any one who is at all acquaint
ed with the writings of the author of the
“ Raven,” it must appear a faithful portrait,
drawn by a master artist. Poor Poe ! his
spirit we trust is now dwelling with the myriad
of the happy beings in another world, whose
existence he has so often described in his sweet
song :
“ Poe seems to us to have been one of those
who never understood themselves—neither
their capacities, their actual wants, nor their
duties to themselves or others. A friend, a
husband, traveler—a man always in need, suf
fering in spirit and afflicted in body—a scholar,
a poet, and a novelist—a creature of imagina
tion all compact,’ and we might almost corn-
plate the quotation, by saying a lunatic and a
lover—be had seen much, thought much, and
suffered much, ami through hard experience
had obtained all sorts of sense but common
sense, lacking which, his life that might have
been made most honorable to himself and use-y
ful to his fellow men, he the next, thing to
threw away. Perverse in infancy, dissolute in
youth, impulsive and uncontrollable in man
hood, he passed from birth,- to death, like a
star whose light struggles through cloud-racks
from its uprising to its going down.

The following eloquent passage we clip from

“ The Southern Cross no longer gleams out

with the harmless sepuchres of our martyred
dead. But when years upon years have passed

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE
CURRENCY.
Since the last annual report, 62 national
banks have been organized, of whicn 51 were
new organizations, and 11 were conversions of
State to national banks, making the total
number new in operation 1,647, having an ag
gregate paid-in capital of $418,000,000, owned
by 200,000 stockholders. Sixteen national
banks have been etfclttded during the year for
various reasons, otherwise the list wcuM num
ber 1,663. The total resources of these 1,649
banks on the 1st of October last were $1,525,-
493,360, and their liabilities $1,024,274,386,
leaving a surplus for capital and earnings of
$501,221,574. Daring the year ending Octo
ber 1, 1866, the increase of capital, bonds, and
circulation of national banks as follows:
Increase of capital paid in $21,515,557
Increase in bonds deposited to se
cure circulation 56,247,750
Increase of circulation issued 101,824,698
The apparent increase of over $100,000,000
in national currency, the report essays to
explain away by the statement that during the
same period State banks, which have been
converted into national banks, have withdrawn
$50,000,000 of their own currency, thus ma
king the actual increase of currency only about
$50,0(0,000.
After the recital of the facts given above,
Acting Comptroller Hnbburd makes several
recom’men'dations, which wiil be noticed seria
tim. ■ First, in reference to redemptions, it is
urged, 1 -with great cogency of reasoning, that
the national banks of the country should re
deem their notes at New York. At present
seventeen cities are designated as places tor
the redemption of national currency, while,
practically, the operation is confined tp three,
to wit : v New York/ Boston, and Philadelphia;
for, of the 1,647 national banks, 1.320 redeem
in these cities. One point in the argument iq.
favor of redemption at New York is put so
tersely that we cannot refrain from quoting
it: . t . • .. ,, :
In recommending redemptions in'New York
there is no intention tp ignore the claims of
any other section of the country. There are
cities of commercial importance in the Middle,
Western, and Southern States, whose financial
interests demand consideration. The notes of
banks located in those cities are, by the pro
visions of the law as it now stands, redeema
ble in New Y'ork and the managers of those
banks would not have it otherwise. If the
law did not require it, they would voluntarily
redeem there. The proposed amendment only
requires ail other banks to do the same thing.
It will give those cities and the banks in those
cities a currency that is vt'orth phf in NeW
York, instead'of a depreciated cilrrpncy that
would be a continual clog upon the business
operaTons.' If any particular section not
tributary to New York, the fact that' the banks
of that section arc required to redeem ia New
Y"ork will not make it tributary,' bet will make
such redemptions easy r.nd in nowise burden
some! The commercial importance of any
place will force its own recognition ; m*ney
can to.drawn from it only for the payment of
its debts. Trade flows in natural channels,
and money goes with it; wherever trade cen
tres, there money will accumulate sufficiently
for its wants. If money is arbitrarily concen
trated contrary to this principle, it will flow
equally complete, be required instead ; and
that when the capital stock of a hank has been
impaired by losses, the capital stock anfl cirqfi-
lation shall be reduced accordingly, or the los
ses made good by a pro rata assessment upon
the stockholders, and in case of failure to do
ore or the other within thirty days after such
loss, the Comptroller of the Currency may
wind up the afl\. ; rsof the bank. These amend
ments seem so just that is ip to .be, hoped
Congress.
The report closes with a eulogy of the na
tional banking system, which we advise peo
ple to lay aside for reading a few years hence.
Of course the system is established, and its
most vigorous oponents at the time that it was
broached avail themselves of whatever advan
tage it may offer. But when the currency
shall be contracted in earnest, and fortunes
begin to melt into thin air, and banks shake
and tumble, then will be the time to test the
national bank system ; and not till then can
its eulogy honestly be written.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The total amuunt raised by internal revenue
during the year was $319,906,984.17, an in
crease of nearly $90,000,000 over the receipts
of the proceeding fiscal year. The receipts of
the coming year are estimated at $285,000,000.
The commissioner recommends that the amount
of income exempted from taxation be $1,000,
instead of 600, as at present, and that the time
for returning income lie changed from May 1st
to January 1st. He, also, urges the reduction
of the numlier of taxable articles and a revis
ion of the system under which cigars are taxed.
independence. He was again captured and
transported for life time to Nevtchinsk in the
North of Siberia. In 1865 he found in the bed
of a river masses of melted quartz mixed.with
iron ore. His Brazilian and California expe
rience now came in play, and prosecuting his
search he discovered anti secured diamonds to
the value of $40,000, and near the close of
summer he found one large diamond, weighing
75 carats, and worth, had it proved perfect, at
least $250,000. He resolved to make his es
cape. if possible, through the Chinese Empire.
The smaller diamonds he secured in a belt
about bis person, and to make sure of the lar
ger one, he forced out one of bis eyes, and in
the vacant orbit hid the highly-prized jewel.—
On his way through China he was robbed by a
banditti of his belt and small diamonds, save a
few which lie sold to procure the necessaries of
life. After many dangers he arrived at Calcut
ta and sailed for Marseilles. He is now in
Paris and iu great misery and poverty, not be-
lUg able to sell Ills jewcll-. as , it proves to be
f iled with black spots, and almost worthless.
A good story is told of the late Father Mul
len, of New Orleans. Gen. Butler once sent
for him to bury an Irish Roman Catholic, then
in Y'ankee uniform. His alacrity in coming
surprised Butler, who expected contumacious-
tbat they will receives the prompt attention of ne f®iJ ^ •/,' 1 „ . ,
“How is it, rather Mullen, you come to
bury a dead Y'ankee. ?.” 1
He replied: “That, General, is a rite 1 will
perform for al! of yuu with pleasure.”
“Y'ou can' do anything if you only have pa
tience to wait,’’ said an old fogy to his son.—
“ Water may be carried in a sieve if you can
onlv wait.’’. . , . .... • .. , ■
“IIow long?" queried the son, an impudent
and impatient Y'oung America, who could
hardly wait for the old man’s obituary.

MS. GLADSTONE S INTERVIEW WIPH THE POPE.
The Corriere Ttaliono professes to have received
from a person worthy of credit the following
account of the interview between Pius IX and
Mr. j Gladstone :
Mr. Gladstone found the Pope as calm
as possible. Politics were not mentioned
until the end of the conversation, and it was
Mr. Gladstone who took the initiative. The
Pope complained of the Austrian government,
while fully admitting that events in Germany
had put it out of the power of that government
to defend the Holy Sea, and almost justified
its conduct. Mr. Gladstone congatulated the
Pope on the arrival at Rome of the Antibes Le
gion. On this the Pope said “ Terrestrial le
gions have the defect of often failing of tqe encl
they desire to attain. Moreover, wliat matters
it to me what shall happen ? Rest assL 'ed
that when thfe French are gone I shall not be
less protected, seeing that the legions which
defend thfe Church neyer faiL” . Ln'sayiug that
the Pope raised his eyes to Heaven. Mr. Glad
stone wished to speak of Italy, and he asked
whkt’ truth there might be in the preliminaries
of negotiations with the Government of Flor
ence mentioned in the journals. This is the
Popej5 reply : “ I do not read the journals ; I
know nothing in that respect; I am ignorant of
everything ; all I know is that in dying I shall
not leave entire to my successor the sacred and
inviolable inheritance of St. Peter.” The con
versation on Italy haying ceased, the Church
in Ireland was qkiken’of/ aiid the Pope warmly
commended to Mr. Gladstone his well-beloved
flock. Then; smiling, he added, “ If one of
these days I should leave Rome, although Ire
land is far from the centpe-of Christianity, I
should not object, perhaps to choose it for my
domicil. Malta, a place almost entirely mer-
