were treasury notes of the new issue, and the remainder consisted of the former issue of treasury notes which will be converted into other forms of debt and will cease to exist as currency on the 31st of next month. The report, however, explains that, inconsequence of the absence of certain returns from distant officers, the true amount of the debt is less, by about twenty-one and a half millions of dollars, than appears on the books of the Register, and that the total public debt on the 1st of last month may be fairly considered to have been $1,126,381,095. The increase of the public debt during the six months from the 1st April to the 1st October was $97,650,780, being rather more than $16,000,000 per month, and it will be apparent, on a perusal of the report, that this augmentation would have been avoided, and a positive reduction of the amount would have been effected, but for certain defects in the legislation on the subject of the finances, which are pointed out in th

The news is chiefly about the Presidential election, which takes place to-day. It would seem that, in New York, some trouble is expected; and, in anticipation, General Butler has arrived there with orders "to report to General Dix" The Pennsylvania brigade, Colonel Bassett, had been sent from Sheridan's army to Philadelphia to be used, it is supposed, in New York city. Butler, according to the Washington Chronicle, "will be stationed in New York for the present, thus rendering assurance doubly sure that the traitors of that great emporium, now so infested with the enemies of the Union, will be checkmated and treated just as they deserve to be. The New York Metropolitan Record calls on Governor Seymour "to bring out the whole militia of the State, armed, and as fully prepared as if they were, on election day, called to do battle for t

Three Hundred dollars reward. --Ran away from the service of R. M. Allen, on Main street, three doors below Sixth, on the 20th instant, my Negro Girl, Margaret. She is about fifteen years of age, of dark brown color, with flat nose and thick lips — not at all prepossessing in features. No particular marks recollected. She had on, when she left Mr. Allen's, a striped cotton dress and calico hood or bonnet. She took no other clothes away with her. I am quite confident that she is secreting herself somewhere in the city. The above reward will be paid for her delivery to me or her confinement in jail, so that I regain possession of her. L. S.

, to capture the town of Petersburg. The army of General Sherman, although succeeding at the end of the summer in obtaining possession of Atlanta, has been unable to secure any ultimate advantage from this success. The same general who, in February last, marched a large army from Vicksburg to Meridian with no other result than being forced to march back again, was able, by the aid of greatly increased numbers, and after much delay, to force a passage from Chattanooga to Atlanta, only to bere as the subject of impressment, the service or labor of the slave has been frequently claimed for short periods in the construction of defensive works. The slave however, bears another relation to the State, that of a person. The law of last February contemplates only the relation of the slave to the master, and limits the impressment to a certain term of service. But for the purposes enumerated in the act, instruction in the manner of encamping, marching and parking trains is needful, so t

e we shall be relieved from the distressing thought that painful physical suffering is endured by so many of our follow-citizens whose fortitude in captivity illustrates the national character as fully as did their valor in actual conflict. Employment of slaves. The employment of slaves for service with the army as teamsters or cooks, or in the way of work upon fortifications, or in the Government workshops, or in hospitals, and other similar duties, was authorized by the act of 17th February last, and provision was made for their impressment to a number not exceeding twenty thousand, if it should be found impracticable to obtain them by contract with the owners. The law contemplated the hiring only of the labor of these slaves, and imposed on the Government the liability to pay for the value of such as might be lost to the owners from casualties resulting from their employment in the service. This act has produced less result than was anticipated, and further provision

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Confederate States of America: It is with satisfaction that. I welcome your presence at an earlier day than that usual for your session, and with confidence that. I invoke the aid of your counsels at a time of such public exigency.--The campaign which was commenced almost simultaneously with your session early in May last, and which was still in progress at your adjournment in the middle of June, has not yet reached its close. It has been prosecuted on a scale, and with an energy, heretofore unequalled. When we revert to the condition of our country at the inception of the operations of the present year, to the magnitude of the preparations made by the enemy, the number of his forces, the accumulation of his warlike supplies, and the prodigality with which his vast resources have been lavished in the at
