The opc:rations of the Branch Mint at Denver.
Colorado, are confined by law to the jnelting,
assaying, and stamping of bullion, returning the
same to : the depositor in the form of unparted
bars, bearing the government stamp of weight
and fineness - of the gold , and silver contained.
The 'number of bars stamped was 214, . value,
6129;616.38.
There .is a layge demand for the are-cent nick-pi
copper coin in the Southern States, to mtet
- which , I respectfully recommend that provision
hojnade by law for the coinage of such pieces at
the Branch Mint at New Orleans. The appoint
ment of the necessary officers to conduct the
business at the above institution should also be
authorized. The duties of Molter and Refiner
and Coiner could readily be performed by the
Superintendent. The only other officer required
will be an Assayer. • The employment of one
clerk and a few workmen is all the additional
force that will be_required. The coinage of five
cent nickel-copper pieces, and the melting and as
saying of gold and silver,and casting the same into
unparted bars, is all that is required, at, least for
the present, at New Orleans, and these facilities
will be found beneficial to the people of that sec-
lion of the Union.
The Branch Mint at Charlotte. North Carolina.
is being repaired and placed m condition for
ing and assaying the precious metals, and
't sting the same into unparted bars. Thu ex
pense attending these operations will be quite
..small, and the result beneficial to the interests
of the gold- bearing districts in that vicinity.
The amount of bullion derived from the mines
of the United States, corresponds very nearly in
amount with the production- during the, pre
.3dons, year. This result is very gratifying; con
sidering the causes which have interfered with
the prosecution of mining enterpriSe.s." The In
dian war-has greatly retarded emigration te . the
mining regions, aid the pOpttlation resident at
diffeient points in the mineral districts has . been
subjected, throughout the entire season most fa
vorable to mining operations, to 'all the perils
• and inconveniences arising from extensive
Indian hostilities. The ,frequent attacks
made on the great lines of travel to the
bullion districts have 'prevented; except •at
much risk, the transportation of supplies and
staining materials. The expenses of living and
ofmlning' have consequently been kept very
high, and the, risks and uncertainties, ever at
tending gold ining, greatly increased. It may
also be remarked, that throughout the greater
. portion pf the districts in which mining' is now
carried on. the surface mines have become ex
hausted, and attention during the last few years
has been . ; generally turned to "Lode" mining.
The ores from the "Lodes" or mineral' veins.
although usually containing a high p . e.reentage of
- the preciousmetals, are more or less refractory iu
their character, and are difficult and expensive
to Work on account of the lice ' and' obnoxious
metals, either chemically or mechanically asso
ciated with. the gold and silver. To crush and
pulverize these ores, and extract from them the
precious-Metals; requires powerful machinery,
complicated apparatus, and skilled labor. These
essentials for success!ful "Lode" mining now
exist only to a limited extent, and cannot be
brought into full requisition until railroad corn
' nninication is extended to the gold and silver
bearing territories. When this shall have beeu
done, gold and silver-mining enterpriie will be
carried on in this country to an extent hitherto
, unknowie, and with the most favorable results.
The Railroads now being constructed across
the continent are rapidly approaching the base
of the Reeky Mountains from the _Cast, and the
Mineral Districts will soon begin to experience
the benefits 'arising from the approach of Ettil
corenranication, and if peace is made with the
Indians we may safely estimate a large increase
'in the production of the precious Metals during
the Coming year.
The law now imposes on all bullion a tax of
the. half of one Per cent. and a coinage charge
of the same amount. In view of the hazardous
character of Gold Minings-of the great difficul
ties .and privations experienced by those en
,gaged in it, and .of the necessity of extending
every practicable aid and protection to the tin
,portant interest, it would appear to be wise
polley ‘ to repeal the laws imposing the tax and
charge shrive referred to, or at least to ,reduce
-them by ono half.

I'NTERNAT/ONAL COINAGE.
In regard to a grand and comprehensive
scheme of international coinage, it is of course
not necessary for me to say a word as to the
desirableness of its accomplishment. I shall
simply offer a few Words as to the most feasible
plan.
The first difficulty that meets us, is the fact
that in some commercial countries gold is the
principal medium of , trade; in others, silver. To
raalhtuin these a t a steady relation may be given
up" as an impossibility. Wo must, therefore,
calculate, or assume, that as 'the world grows
richer, one nation after another will fall into the
wake of those which have taken the lead in
adopting gold as the standard, using silver'only
for bubsidiary purposes.
The next difficulty is to harmonize or unitize
the three principal moneys of the worldt the
Pound Sterlffig,tk Franc, and the Dollar. When
these 'are brought into a precise relation, the
great work will not be, Mr from its accomplish-
meat.
Each of these three great units has its. peculiar
advantage, or prestige. The Pound &Sovereign
is everywhereStanailiar; it regulates the ex
changes of 'the World. The Franc is built upon
a scientific bags; it has all the /:e/at. of a fixed
natural measurement; it has been 'adopted in
various countries of Europe. The Dollar, which
first found its name (thalert in Austria,, more
than three centuries ago, then became the prin
cipal coin of Spain, and afterwards gave its title
to the vast products' of the mines of Spanish
America, from whence it was adopted into our
own coinage; this welcome visitor to the
millions'•' iSof • China, and the merchants
of London, has such a hold ,upon men's
minds, that' it will .not easily be displaced, in
any re-adjustment of standards or nomenclature.
It has also that amount of value, as'it were, mid
way.between the great pound and thelittle franc,
which gives it a decided superiority to both. In
this respect, I speak of it rather as money of ac
count; in actual coinage, a multiple of the dollar
(in gold) is much better for size. The idea would
therefore.be, to have a pound, a five-dollar piece,
and a ,lsirentysfive franc pieces - identical as to
value; each nation retaining its own money termsy
it' they cannot agree upon one. -
But there is ,a third preliminary difficulty
which must be'noticed, not dwelt upon, because
'it rather belongs to those wile are learned in the
laW. To make this accommodation, one coin or
other must be . changed in intrinsic value. In
plain, terms, If we lighten the gold five-dollar
piece, so as to make it conform to the sovereign,
would not that impair the obligation of con
tracts, inasmuch as the, holders of our Covent
:went bonds would get less amount of interest,
without Changing the nominal rates ??•
But stipposing these difficulties obviated, the
main question comes up, what is the most feasi
ble plan of uniformity ?
The weight of the lialf-eOgle would be 121 9,20
grains, instead of 129 grains; as at-present.
- Nearly five - years ago (Decembesili, 1.862,) a
later • on this subject was addressed to the
Treasury Department from -the Mint, in which
the precise ground was taken; which has lately
been agreed, upon - by the Paris Conference. It
was, in effect, assfollows: - A French coin of 25
francs would be worth, hi our present money,
$4.82.5. A British sovereign, new, is worth'
S'.4.Boii. Here are pretty near approaches, not
only to those two, but also as to our five-dollar
piece.. Supposing them • all fashioned
on the French basis, then the
Iler' sovereign would be brought
down by 4.2 cents, and the new five dollar piece
by 17.6 cents. The shilling in money of account
would be 25 cents, and the franc 20 cents. We
should also have a definite relation to the new
gold coinage system of Austria, Prussia and the
(Selman States. The lira of. Italy has long been
in unison with the franc of France.
isarris - riost or cosi) cooss rnost DEII:IBI2MENT.
If the proposed international coinage of gold
should become a law of the United States, the re
duced weight would call for a re-coinage; and
this would be a proper moment to introduce an
improvement, which the progress of enciit,:ift.it
inn loudly calls for. Indeed, whether the pro
posed reduction should be adopted or not, there
seems a necessity for improving the gold coin,
in the point just referred to, and which I will
proceed to explain briefly, leaving larger details
tor a time of Particular inquiry from an authori
tative source.
Of all the various frauds practiced upon the
metallic currency (and they all call for more or
1 less care on the part of receivers and payees).
there is but one that is really alarming; and
it has grown out of the advanced state of sci
ence and mechanic arts. ' It attaches only to the
gold coin, fur it cannot profitably ho performed
on the silver. The opportunity for it lies in the
114(.1 - nem of the coins . With,pieces like ducats or
guineas, or the original ten dollar piece, it would
not here been practicable. These remarks are
enough to indicate that the 'fraud is performed
by sawing out the interior of a thick gold coin,
preserving the two outer faces Intact, and in
serting a planchet of heavy metal, platinum, be
twet it; then finishing up the edge with a gold
rim, closely soldered. One would suppose
that the labor and skill, required for such
an achievement would not be • compen
sated by the gold extracted; or that they
could be better paid in au honest calling; or that
the difficulty of adjusting the weight to'half
grain. would be inn uperablc. But there is evi
-1 (levee enough that'the fraud pays, and that the
right weight, and pretty nearly the specific
gravity, tan be maintained. And then there
seems l 0 be a pi hie Vstiece.s.l in 'this line; as there
is in but glary and picking of pockets, sufficient
to. keep a h w laillul men at it, whether the gain
Is spiplthifig or nothing.
Now, to counteract this capital fraud, I do not

DEVICES UPON TIM COINAGE. •
The.rharactcr of the devices upon the coinage,
as a matter of increasing interest in the public
mind, Isnot unworthy of special notice in re
viewing the operations of the Mint; and in this
connection, it seems quite iu &mete remark that
the Engraver's - Department. has lately been en
riched by the acquisition: auk important and in
teresting machine, (the invention of Mr. C. J.
Hill, of London), very superior to any heretofore
in use, which greatly facilitates the work of the
artist on the devices appropriate to the coinage.
The peculiar power of this machine consists In
the perfect accuracy, and almost perfect finish,
given by its operation in the reduction of the
artistic model, by which all the freedom of exe
cution of which the larger model is susceptible
in the hands of the artist, can be preserved in
the most minute proportions in its application
to the fate" of'the coin for which it may be de
signed.
Of the advantage thus afforded, in the execu
tion of this interesting portion of the public
service, the most liberal use is intended to be
made in the future issues of our more important
coins, which, while preserving the national
character required by law, will add materially to
their beauty and distinctness of expression.
FOREIGN cones..
There are a few items to be added to this
branch of the report.
The silver so/ of Peru, 'which is the successor
of the peso or dollar, is found to bo of standard
fineness, and the average weight 0.802 ounce
troy. The:dates observed arelB64 to 1866.
-The Mexican silver peso, or dollar. of Maxi
milian, of the date of 1866, averages 9023:.; thou
sandths fine, and 0.861 oz. or 4133 grains in
weight, upon trial of a considerable quantity.
These two reports are furnished by the Assay
Office at New York.
We have seen but one gold piece of Maximilian,
called "20 pesos," of the date 1866, and weighing
1.086 oz. or 521 k grains. We had not the oppor
tunity of assaying it, being held as a curiosity,
but the weight indicated that the doubloon fine
-ness of 875 has been retained. On this assump
tion we placed it in the table. '
I will here add the result of a recent assay
of single gold pieces of France,. of the dates 1863
to 1866,and mint-marks of Paris and Strasbourg.
This is important in its bearing upon 'the ques
tion of international coinage. for if such an in
terchange is to take plade, the respective Coun
tries must keep good faith in regard to the fine
ness of their coins, othewise the matter will
soon come to an end. We find the fineness vary
ing from 898.5 to 899.8 and averaging 899.2.
This has generally been the result fur many
years, and is not what should be expected. The
average ought to be 900, as required by law. The
British coins arc kept up to the mark.

The Alepitblican Campaign in the
b South..
A caucusOf the Union Republican members of
Congress was held in the Hull of Representatives
last evening, to hear the report of the Executive
Committee on the present condition of the
Southern campaign, and to consult as to the
measures necessary to continue and complete
the organization of the party in the unrecon
structed States. Senator Morgan presided, and
the Hon. Shelby M. Cullom 'acted as Secretary.
The report shows that from April I to Decem
ber 4, 3;10,673 were • collected, of which seven
members of Congress and einploye;s at the
capital lied contribitted $15,000.. The entire
amount •has been expended for the greater part
in printing 854,700 documents for Southern cir
culation, and in the employment of orators for
that section. Over two million of documents
haVe been circulated since the organization of
the committee in March, 1,86 G. Over three
thousand letters haVe been reteived from the -
rebel States. Memoranda are kept of all the
reconstruction work. The elections of delegates
in , favor of conventions hay% been successful
in all the States except South Carolina. where
there was a want of time and but few places
of voting. The committee think that if.an
other election should be held the result would,
be favorable for a convention in that State.
From the advices coming. from Texas, it is tat
'loved that the State will give a decided vote for
a convention. One hundred and seventy-eight
spaakens and organizers have. een directly aided
by the corninitten and many more have been
employed witipthe pecuniary aid from State com
mittees. The campaign - for the ratification of the
constitutions to be framed will, the committee
say,. involve the expenditure' of considerable
money, and they therefore recommend as a part
of the programme that, twenty representative
men, white and black, be put into the field, as it
is believed they will have great weight with the
Southern people. A. resolution i,cas.passed con
tinuing the present organization, And for - the
raising of additional funds for carrying on the
work already commenced. The meeting was al
together harmonious. No other basmess than
that above referred to was transacted.

and Means, at the meeting this morning, had
under consideration the subject of the contrac
tion of the currency. No definite conclUsion
was peached. It is - Understood; however : , from
an interchange of sentiments among the mem
bers, that a majority of the Committee is op
posed to.any further contraction.
Senator Williams, of Oregon, has. prepared a
bill, amendatory of the Reconkructlon act,which
he dill introduce at an early day. He proposes
to change the phraseology of the fifth section of
the act, by striking out the words "majority' of
the registered votes," and making it road "ma
jority of all votes east," shall be sittlicient to
ratify the constitution of a State when submitted
to the people : This.is intended to frustrate any
attempts that may be made by ,discontented
parties in the South, who, after registering, w,(11
,lity away from the polls, in older to defeat the
State Constitution.
The President has just sent to the House a list
of pardoned rebels, with the hatueS of the
parties 'recommending such pardons, called for
by the Republicans of the House some time ago.

Servants.
Thecurrent number of the North Ame
rican Review has the following concerning
servants: Our ancestors were harassed as
.. mach as we by the difficulties of domestic
service. In a country where land might be
had for the asking, it was not easy to keep
hold of servants brought over from England.
Enianuel Downing, always the; hard, prac
tical man, would find a'remedy in negro sla
very: "A warr with the Narragansetts," he
writes to Winthropjin 1645, "is verie con
siderable to this plantation, ffor I doubt
wither it be not synne in us having power in
our hands,, to suffer them to- maynteyne the
worship of the devil which their ' aw wawa
often doe; "lie. If upon a just warre
the Lord . should deliver them , into
our hands,, ,we might. „easily.have; men,
woetuen „and children eriongli to exchange for
Moores, which will be more gravnetul
pfli
dage for us than we conceive, for Ido not
see how wee can thrive until. wee gett into a
stock of slaves - Stiffleient to doe all our busi
ness. for our children's children will hardly
see this great continent filled with people,
soe that our servants will still desire-freedom
to plant for themselves, and not stay but for
verie great wages. And I suppose you know
verie well how wee. -shall, rosyntme ; 20
Moores Cheaper than one Engliihe` Ilervant. l,
The doubt whether it be not sin in us longer
to tolerate their devil-worship, considering
how much need we have of them in mer
chamlise, is delicious. ,
- The way In which Hugh Patera grades the
sharp descent from the apostolic to the prac
tical with an etcetera in the following ex
tract, has the same ch arm. "Sir, Mr. Elndi
eott.4 mys elf salute ; you in the Lord Jesus,
&e. Wee have heard of a divider:cc of
women and children in the bay & would be
glad of a share, viz., a young woman or
girle & a boy, it„, you think good." Peters
seems to have got what he. asked foe, and to
have been worse off than before, for we find
,Itim Writing two years later : "l4ywife de-
ISirefl niy ; daughter to send to Hanna that: was
her mayd, now of Charlestown, to know it
she would dwell with us, tor truly wee are
so destitute (havingncrw but an Indian) that
wee know not what to do." Let any house
wife of our day, who does not find the Ce tic
- element in domestic life so refreshing as to
Mr. Arnold in literature, imagine a house
hold with one wild Peottot woman, commu
nicated with by signs, for its maid. of all
work. and take courage.
Those were serious times, .indeed, when
your cook might give warning by taking
your scalp or chignon, as the case might be,
and making off with it into the woods. The
fewness and dearness of servants made it
necessarv:to call in temporary assistance for
extraordinary occasions, and hence arose the
use of the common word "help." As the
great majority keep no servants at all, and
yet were liable to need them for work for
which the family did not suffice, as, for in
stance, in harvest, the use of the word was
naturally extended to all kinds of service.
That it did not have its origin in any false
shame at the ,condition Itself, induced by
democratic habits, is plain from the fact that
it came into use while the word "servant"
had a much wider application thaknow,and
certainly applied no social stigma.>Down
ing and Hooke, each at different t imes, one
of them so late as 1667, wished to place a
son as servant with one of the Winthrops.
Roger Williams writes of his .daughter that
"she desires to spend some time in the ser
vice, and liked much Mrs. Brenton, who
wantecr This . , was, no doubt, in order to
be well drilled into housekeeping, an exam
ple which might he followed still, to advan
tage. John Tinker, himself the "servant - or
steward of the second Winthrop, makes use
of the word "help" in both the senses we
have mentioned, and shows the transition of
the word from its restricted to its more general
application "We have fallen a pretty deal
of timbre and drawn some by Goodman
Roger's team, but unless your worship have
a good team of your own, and a man to go
witli them, I shall be much distracted for
help • • and when our business is most
in ha, , te we shall be most to seak."
Again, writing at harvest, as appears both
by the date and by an elaborate pun. "I re
ceived the sithes you‘sent; , but in that there
came not also yourself; it caused me to sigth."
He says: "Help is scarce and hard to get,
difficult to please, uncertain, etc. Means
choice of my help. '
It may be sonic consolation to know that
the complaint of a degline in the quality of
servants pa no modem thing. Shakespeare
makes "Orlando" say to "Adam: -
-Oh..gstxl old man, how welt in thee appears
Ili. constant bervlce of the antique world.
When service sweat for duty, not for weed!
Thou art not of the fashion of these times,
When none v. , il! sweat but for promotion."
When the faithful old -servant is - brought
upon the stage, we may be sure he was get
ting rare. A century later we have explioit
testimony that things were as bad in this re
spect as „they are now. Don Manuel Gon
zales, who traveled in England in 1739, says
ot' London servants : "As to common
menial servants, they have great wages. are
well kept and clothed, but are, notwith
standing, the plague of almost every house
in town. They form themselves into
societies, or rather confederacies, con
tributing to the maintenance of each
other when out of place, and if any of
them cannot manage the family, where , they
are entertained as ,they please, immediately
they give notice they will be gone. There is
no speaking to them—they are above correc- 1
Lion; and it a master should attempt it, he
may expect to be handsomely drubbed by
the creature he feeds and harbors; or perhaps,
an action brought against Mm for it. It has
become a common saying, if my servant bent
a thief, if he be but honest, I can , bear with
other things. And indeed, it is very rare in
London to meet with an honest servant"
The Last Batten.
EY AN EX-CONFEDERATE OFFICER..
(From the New Orleans Sunday Crescent I
Few hear, the immortals of Lee's army
speak of thp retreat from Petersburg to Ap
pomattox Court House,, the scene of that
army's apotheosis, and the reason of that
silence can well be understood. Knowing
nothing iuuj thinking little about the condi
tion of the army outside of their own CCM
mands, the great body of men, in their reli
ance upon their great commander, simply
performed the duties imposed upon them,
suffered the agonies that necessarily fell to
their lot, and met calmly the death which
ended those duties and agonies for many be
fore the memorable ninth of April.
The sufferings of the rank andfile of the
army on that occasion were mercifully dead
ened by a stupor, if not recklessness, super
induced by the peculiar haidships to which
they were subjected. The enemy, with his
overwhelming force of splendidly mounted
and equipped cavalry, held in addition the
direct route to the point aimed at by General
Lee, retarding his advance, compelling him
to fight while day-light lasted, and to do his
marching at night. The want of sleep, and
during the last four days of the retreat,
the entire lack of provisions, produced in the
men the mental and physical condition I
have mentioned. And although after the
surzonder,the men and oftieurs Of the Federal
army vied with each, other in their kindness,
and exhibited a deaf . ° to 'do t everything i n
their power to relieve the necessities of their
like foes, the destruction of:LI portion of their

themselves in a itnitical oondittir;i - tWitok,

needed supplies.

to complete, as soon as posse. e, the paroling
of the men c in order that therstight be

The condition of these tt truly deJ

them stricken tr with fever, they looked with
dismay on, the, dismal march through /he
mud to Burkesville station, the nearest point
at which they could expect to fLatt ransporta
tion. • olonel Waggamart•AU many of the
officers did - not believe half of them would
be able to perform the journey, and, as a
dernier • rlBort, and also in some measure
to inspire the men with hopes which he him
self believed delusive, Colonel W. started•
the brigade 'commissary ahead to try,ean4;
pick up something for man and beast on the
route they were traveling.
The commissary, with no more hope of
success than his commanding officer, started
oil; and after traveling a few miles over a
tract which gave no promise of supplies.
being rather dubious about the road the bri
gade, would travel, accosted an old gray
headed and vety ragged negro he found sit
ting at a cross-road, and questioned him in
regard to the route to Btrkesville. The
egro replied intelligently, giving him the
ecessary directions, ad the commissary
as about to ride, on, when it occurred to
ie im that the darkey might possibly assist him
in search of something eatable. He began
by asking it he knew where he could get a
feed fol his horse.
After a moment's hesitation and a rapid in
spection of his questioner, the darkey replied
in the affirmative, and immediately led the
way through a gate to a small clearing in the
piney wood. Stopping, in the yard of a small
shanty, he went in and got the key of a pretty
good-sized corn-crib, which he Opened, and
displayed to the commissary's envious/am
forty or fifty bushels of the finest corn in the
ear he had ever seen, even Virginia. He
took out a liberal feed for the horse, and re
marked that "The Yanks had spar'd him that
much." The commissary saw in his mind's
eye his brigade once more eating a "square
meal," and assuming his most persuasive
tone, commenced :
"Uncle, I have about six hundred men
behind here a little ways, who have eaten
nothing to speak of for five or six days.
They have thirty or forty miles to travel on
foot, and they never will be able to make the
trip in their present condition. Could you
not let them have a couple of ears of corn
apiece. and save their lives ?"
Darkey—"ls dey Southern soldiers ?"
Commissary—" Yes."
Darkey—"Well I reckon, young master,
they's the last I'll ever, see. Vou just tell
them to come along and take what they
want." And having said this, the poor fel
low sat down on a stone and.cried like a
child.
In an hour or so the troops came along
and were marched up in single file to the
corn crib and given two ears apiece. The
old darkey, in the meantime, had knocked
in the head of a barrel of sorghum molasses,
and nearly every man got a tincupfull.
There were a few cases of colic that night
among thote who were not fortunate enough
to get any sorghum,
_but that did not lessen
the gratitude of the men for the last Confede
rate ration issued to the Louis': a troops in
Virginia.
