When Scott heard of Keyes' proceedings, he said:-- What! Has Keyes been appointed Field Marshal? I had not heard of it. Why, nobody but a Field Marshal could have issued such orders as these, while I am Lieutenant-General, commanding the United States armies. Tell General Butler to order Field Marshal Keyes to report to me forthwith, and I will take care of him. Armed with that power I went into the office the next morning. My first visitor was Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, who had just arrived from the North, and who naturally had a little respect for my opinions, because we had acted together for a number of years politically. In a few moments Lieutenant-Colonel Keyes came in and was introduced to Senator Wilson, and Keyes took part in our conversation, which he soon tu

order have been frequent and urgent, and it is now exhausted. But the poor of this city have the same or increased necessities for relief as then, and their calls must be heard; and it is both fit and proper that the parties responsible for the present state of affairs should have the burden of their support. Therefore, the parties named in Schedules A and B, of General Order No. 55, as hereunto annexed, are assessed in like sums, and for the same purpose, and will make payment to D. C. G. Field, financial clerk, at his office, at these headquarters, on or before Monday, December 15, 1862. I was relieved by General Banks six days after. As the time this assessment was to be paid was at the expiration of seven days, and I was relieved before that time, of course nobody paid the assessment according to the order. Within thirty days General Banks found himself under the necessity of renewing the order and did so. But nobody paid the slightest attention to it and nobody paid a

Why wait? In fact, the troops of Lee did not get into Petersburg until the morning of the 18th. Kershaw's division of Anderson's Corps,the first of General Lee's force that arrived at Petersburg, only reached that place on the morning of the 18th of June, as is established by the following telegram:-- headquarters, Petersburg, June 18, 1864, 11.30 A. M. Gen. Braxton Bragg, Richmond, Va.: Occupied last night my new lines without impediment. Kershaw's division arrived about 7.30 and Field's at about 9.30 o'clock. They are being placed in position. All apparently quiet this morning. General Lee has just arrived. G. T. Beauregard, Major-General.

t for I desired to divest the case of all political complexion. It was a long time before it could be argued before that court, for it was a very great constitutional question, and the bench did not desire to pass upon it so long as there was a vacancy in that court. At last, the vacancy being filled, the case was fully heard and very well argued on both sides. After deliberation the court decided, eight to one, that greenbacks were the constitutional money of the United States, Mr. Justice Field alone dissenting ; this decision will never hereafter be questioned. Since then the legal tender money of the United States has been at all times at a par with gold, and under some circumstances at a premium over it. The bonds of the United States bearing five and six per cent. interest payable in gold, immediately rose to a high premium. The treasury had a surplus with which they had been redeeming these bonds as fast as they became due, sometimes buying them at a premium when it

The Delta, said that this Strong visited the Church in citizen's dress to worship God, he being a pious member of the same, and seeing that Dr. Goodrich, the pastor, om
