W The National Currency Bill,
originated by Secretary Chase, and re
ported to the Senate by Mr. Sherman,
of Ohio, passed the United States House
of Representatives by a vote of 78 yeas
to 64 Mum. The beneficial effects of the
measure are already manifest. Govern
ment Stocks rose immediately, notwith
standing the efforts of the brokers to
keep them down. The leading feature
of the bill is the establishment of one
sound, uniform circulation, of equal val
ve throughout the whole country, upon
the foundation of national credit com
bined with private capital. In this re
spect the people will find in the measure'
uniformity in their currency, iuiformity
in security, effectual safeguards against
'depreciation, and protection from loss
Eby iliscomit sod exchanges. , Once in
etpastims tie bill will not fail to be so
popular with the people that it , can
never be repealed.
ellr Two brothers, named Joseph and
-John Fitzwalter; lived together with
.their sister for a great ember of years,
in Parlimeet street, Nottingham, Eng
land, the sister acting in the capacity of
housekeeper. Joseph, the eldest one,
attacked, a few days, since, with bronch
itis, and died three weeks ago, at the
age of eighty-four. The surviving broth
er was very much affected by his death
.and expired one hour afterwards, at the
age of eighty years. The death of two
brothers to whom the sister was devo
tedly attached, was too great a shock
for her frame to withstand, and on the
morning fixed for their interment, she
also expired, at the age eightytwo

Bon. Edward Everett ham accepted the

Abbott Lawrence, on Park street, has
'been purchased for the headquarters of
the club, at the price of $50,000. The
impose of the association is understood
to be an unwavering support of the Go
vernment in its efforts to put down the
rebellion.
Q The official - report of General
itosecrans of the battle of Murfreesboro
do published. The report states that
the entire mumber actually engaged on
the Federal aids was 43,400 and the loss
do killed and wounded 8,778 or 20 per
.cant of the whole force. The Confed
erates engaged were about 63,000, and
their loss, estimating from actual re
turns in three divisions," is set down at
14,500, or about 27 per cent.
It is stated that General 'Daniel
Ullman, of New York, is to command a
'negro brigade in Louisiana. He goes
out there with a .complete set of white
officers for two regiments, the cank sad

A son of Vice President Hamlin is to
be one of the colonels, and the visit e
the Vice President down East is said to
be for the purpose of arranging the or
sanization of these regiments.
Or' In compliance with an official call
v►` letter of Lieut. Gee. Scott, dated Oc
tober 18th, 1861, has been sent to Con
.gress. At that time the writer was
•Generatin-Chief, and Geo. B. McClel

•mac. Gen. Scott complains of McClel
lan's insubordination, and begs the Set
.retary of War to put a atop to it. All
cClellan's despatches will soon be sent
.to Congress, and probably will be print

or The Court of Inquiry, summoned
at the request of General McDowell to
investigate certain charges--made rath
er by common report than in any more
direct way—against him, has completed
its labors, and its judgment has just
been made public. The court acquits
him of blame in any particular except
one ; his having gone to Manassas on
the afternoon or evening of the 28th of
August, to confer personally with Gen
eral Pope, on the appeal of the latter
for bis views, whilst his command was
on the march upon Centerville. It is
mentioned that Lien, Pope, McDowell's
superior, did not censure him for this ;
of this tho court says : That the sep
aration was inconsiderate and unauthor
ized, but was not induced by , any un
worthy motive." The charge of disloy
alty, made by an officer of the rank of
colonel, after being lately wounded in
battle, in general terms, without defi
ning any specific ant, is fully disproved
by all the evidence bearing, on the point.
The court denounces the charge of drunk
enness against Gen. McDowell as ri
diculous. It is only justice to an officer
who has borne in manly Csaide an unex
ampled weight of reproach and calumny
to spread abroad the conclusions of the
court, which has carefully examined
into every charge, and now declares
him innocent in intention, faithful to his
.flag, and zealous to meet and beat the
enemy.
ar Thomas H. Seymour, the copper
head nominee for Governor of Connecti

war from its commencement. He made
such an ostentatious and indecent dis
play of disloyal sympathies, that he wa4
socially tabooed among his own neigh
bors: His portrait was taken dowa
from its place in the State Hall by or
der of the Legislature. He was den mo
oed as a miserable tool of Jeff. Davis
by the Democratic press of New Ent,
land, sod read oat of the party by Dew -
ocratic Conventions. And yet this mail
is now nominated for Governor by thos9
who spurned him - a few months since--
and nominated by. acclamation. The
New London Star, a prominent Demo
cratic paper of the State, bolts the nom
ination, and says that thousands of toy
al hearts will grieve to read some of the
resolutions and speeches of the late con

sr The , paid system of negro labor

end of the month, and the other half at
the end of the year. The rules adopted
for their government are said to operate
beneficially. Probably the proprietors,
who were obliged by the military power
to introduce this new system, will find it
more profitable to pay for than to own
their labor, to say nothing of getting rid
of a vast deal of trouble.

she did not wish to go. Mrs. Story said
it made no difference—she must get her
