The bill passed by the House of Repres
entatives last week, authorizes the issue of
demand Treasury notes without interest,
to the amount of §150,000,000, of which
50,000,000 are to be in the lieu of the
notes issued in July last, which are to be
taken up as rapidly as posrdble. The notes
are to be legal tender for all purposes j
The bill also authorizes the issue of G per
cent, coupon bonds to the amount ot §SOU,-
000,000, redeemable at the pleasure of the
Government after twenty years from date. ;
the interest to be paid semi-annually. At
no time except one of extreme danger, !
when the necessity was most urgent, could
the passage of such a bill he urged. Rut
every motive of patriotism and safety now
demonstrates its utility. Its passage will !
strengthen the government for the work it
i* engaged in, will restore confidence among >
ou-iuess men, and will ensure to tha eoun- i
try a currency not liable to fluctuations ac
cording to the caprices of the banks and !
speculators. Among those most opposed i
to it are a few banks which suspend specie '
payments at pleasure. Such in this State :
ought to be attended to at once by the
summary process of compelling them to
wind up their affairs.
Expulsion of Senator Bright.
Last year, at a time when no one in his
senses could doubt the intentions of the
southern conspirators, Jeso P. Bright, a
Senator in Congress aud loeofoco demagogue
generally, addressed the following letter
to that arch fiend, Jef Davis :
" Washington, March 1, 18G1.
Mv HEAR Slß: —Allow me to introduce
to your acquaintance, my friend Thorns* B.
Lincoln of lexas. lie visits your capital
mainly to dispose of what fie regards a great
improvement in fire arms. I recommend him
to your favorable consideration as a gentle
man of the first resppctabiFty, and reliable
in every respect. Very truly yours,
"JESSE D. BRIGHT.
"To his Excellency, Jefferson Davis, President
of the Confederate States.
There is no equivocation in this lan
guage. It is addressed to one who had
usurped the prerogatives of the President
of the I nited States, aud recommended to
his friendship and patronage a tnan who
had a "great improvement in fire-arms"
for sale! In giving that address, Bright,
as a Seuator of the United States, recog
nized the traitor as President of part of
those States, and in doiug so stood forth a
perjured Senator. In the next place, he
knew that an improved or any other fire
arm would be used by the traitors to kill
his own constituents who would re
main true to his country, aud in recom
mending or.e who had such weapon for
sale, he became as much a traitor as if he
had offered his own services. With the
exception of a few papers in the cities, aud
here and there a locofoco press which can
see "abolitionism'' in everything that is
done, the expulsion is cordially approved
by right thinking men of all parties.
Canadian City to be J Sold. —The city of
London, on the opposite shore of the Lake
from Cleveland, is in the hands of the Sher

WAR N E WS.
From the West we have the announcement
of another important success of the National
arms. Fort Ilenry on the Tennessee river
has fallen, the rebel force there has been put
to an inglorious rout, the railroad between
Bowling Green and Columbus is in our pos
session, and the National banner is again
planted upon the soil of Tennessee. Though
this victory appears to have been cheaply won,
the main body of the rebels precipitately re
treating when their artillerists were shelled
out of the Fort by the gunboats, its results,
in a stragetieal point, are eveD more impor
tant than those of the victory at Somerset. —
It gives to our forces the possession of the
Tennessee river, by which away into the in
terior of the State is opened ; it breaks the
communication between Bowling Green and
Columbus and threatens the rebel forces at
both these points with a flank movement.—
A similar expedition up the Cumberland will
secure possession of Fort Donelson, and with
the command of both rivers the communica
tion between Nashville and Bowling Green
will be broken, thus forcing the rebels there
to retreat or come out of their entrenchments
and fight.
The expedition against Fort Henry consis
ted of seven gunboats under the immediate
command of Com. Foote, and from eight to
ten thousand man under command of Gen.
U. S. Graut. The Fort was subdued entirely
by the gunboats after less than two hours
bombardment. The artillerists in the Fort,
with the command' r of the post. Gen. Lloyd
Tilghman, formerly of Maryland, were ta
ken prisoners. The rebel infantry, encamped
outside of the Fort, and said to number four
or five thousand, when the Fort surrendered
precipitately fled, leaving behind a large
amount of camp equipage and ammunition.
The Fort was bravely defended, but the con
centrated fire of the gunboats, delivered to
wards the close of the action at a distance of
only three hundred yards, could not be sue
cessfuliy resisted Gen. Tilghman in sur
rendering spoke of the defeat as the most
serious disaster of the war. The gunboat
Cincinnati, Com. Foote's flag ship, received
thirty shots, but continued the fight until the
end. The most serious damage on our side
was received by the gunboat Essex. A round
shot killed her second in command, Capt.
Britain, and penetrating one of her boilers
caused it to explode, by which a number of
her crew were scalded to death and others
jumping overboard were drowned. The Cin*
cinnati had one killed and six wounded.—
Thcre'Vere no casualties on the other boats.
The conduct of the crews of the gunboats
W-is splendid. They fought with the great
est spirit and without a man flinching.
The unfortunate town of Harper's Ferry
was again the scene of stiring events on Fi i
day. resulting in the ercater portion of it be
ing reduced to ashes. A Rebel flag of truce
having approached the river, a boat was sent
over to them, which was fired upon and one
of the boatmen killed. Colonel Geary iuime
diately ordered the shelling of the houses in
which the Rebel riflemen were concealed, in
eluding the Wager Hotel, all of which were
subsequently burned. Anothed Rebel flag
afterwards approached the river, but Oolonei
Geary warned them off, refusing to receive it.
General Lander has again occupied Rom
ney, Virginia, with the Federal forces, the
Rebels having fallen back to Winchester.
Gen. Stone, commanding a divsion of
the army on the Upper Potomac, was on
Sunday arrested by the military authorities
in Washington, and he is now lodged in
Fort Lafayette. Ever since the disastrous
affair ot Ball's Bluff, when the lamented
Baker fell, vague suspicions have existed
in regard to his capacity and loyalty, and
they have culminated in his arrest. The
charges preferred against him are ofa most
serious nature
First. For misbehavior at the battle of
Ball's Bluff.
Second. For holding correspondence
with the enemy before and since the battle
of Ball's Bluff, and receiving visits from
rebel office™ in his camp.
Third. For treacherously suffering the
enemy to build a fort or strong work since
the battle of Ball's Bluff under his guns
without molestation.
Fourth. For treacherous desigu to expose
his force to capture and destruction by the
enemy under pretence of orders for a move
ment froui the Commanding General, which
had not been given.
Fifth. A court martial will be speedily
ordered.
Despatches from West Tennessee state
that our forces were still encamped in the
vicinity of Fort Henry, but preparations lor
further movements were progressing. Five
additional regiments had been ordered to
rendezvous there. The Rebels who fled
from Fort Ilenry are at Fort Douelson, and
the whole force there is supposed to be
from eight to tea thousand. The Rebel
steamer Orr was chased by our gunboats
and burned by the Rebels. Several Reb
el steamers are reported to have been cap
tured. The alarm throug out Tennessee
was excessive, and the river was open to
our gunboats all the way to the head of
navigation in Alabama.
Dr. Ives, a correspondent of the New
York Herald, was arrested at Washington
on Sunday and sent to Fort McUenry.—
The charge against him is that of acting
as spy on the War Departmoot, and threat
ening to use the infiueuce of the Herald
agtinst the Government if he was not al
lowed to obtain information from the De
partment.
Gen. Huater hat declared martial law in
Kansas.
Earners from the Bunisiue Expedition-
Fortress Monroe, Feb 9. —V\ e learn thst ;
the bombardment of the works on ltoanoke
Island continued during yesterday. About •
noon, Commodore Lynch got his Musquito
flotilla under way, and camedown Curri- ■
tuck Sound to assist his rebel friend, Gen. j
Wise, on the island.
The Federal gnn boats then directed
their fire upon the gun-boats commanded
by Lynch, and at five o'clock yesterday af
ternoon three rebel gun-boats had been j
sunk, two were captured, one of which had
a Commodore's pennant flying daring the
action, and the rest dispersed in every di- !
rection. i
The firing ceased at dark last night, but
was recommenced with increased vigor and
effect this morning, aDd kept up until about
eight o'clock, when it is supposed the reb
el forces on the Island surrendered.
A fireman on board the Selden said that
the Federal troops had been landed in
large numbers on Roanoke Island, and that
the Stars and Stripes could be seen at
Elizabeth City flying over the Confederate
batteries. It was rumored in Norfolk this
morning, that three regiments had been
recently sent to Roanoke Island, and that
as there is no chance for escape, the prob
ability is that they were all captured.
The rebels acknowledge that the only
obstacles of importance to retard General
Burnside's march inland and upon Norfolk
will be the natural ones of swamps, marshes,
sickness, Ac.
The rebels feel their recent defeats very
sensibly, and are growing desperate in their
fear.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 11.—The Clipper has
issued an extra fully confirming the news
of the success of Gen Burnside's opera
tions on the North Carolina coast.
Roanoke Island was taken after three
days hard fighting.
A large number of rebel prisoners are
reported to have been captured.
Two of the rebel gunboats were captured,
the rest were sunk or scattered.
The people of Norfolk and Portsmouth
are said to be panic stricken.
The passengers that arrived here to-day
by the Fortress Monroe boat confirm these
accounts, which, it must be remembered
are derived from rebel sources.
fiSij-Hy the Steamship Jura, we learn
that Mason and Slidell had arrived at South
ampton. No demonstration was made
on their arrival. The former went to Lon
don and the latter to Paris.
Napoleon opened the French Chamber
on the 27th. In a speech he said:
" The civil war which desolates America
has greatly compromised our commercial
interests. So long, however, as the rights
of neutrals are respected, we must confine
ourselves to expressing wishes for an early
termination of these dissensions."
