TH_E. J C ACI.E OFFICIAL HAPBH OF IB» OOUNTX. local & MISCELLANEOUS. FRIDAY, November 24, 1865. We that the railroad ] rnauitig «o«t from Logansport to Peoria, will soon be extended east from Logons port to Luna, Ohio, and of course pass through this county; probably about six miles south of Decatur. If our informslion is correct, something should be done i by our citizens to bring it through this | place. Wood, it is said, is an important, j consideration with the company; and if ihia be so, the company would find on ex-1 amination, that the route through this place would be equally as good (or timber, aa the more southern. Hi Thursday, December 7th has been net apart as a day of Thanksgiving, as will be seen by the Governor’s proclamation, published in another place. — ui W Dor win Bro's have lately made large additions to their stock of Drugs, and now have the largest stock of the • kind ever in Decatur.

The Rewards for the Conspirators. The Times says: It will be recollected that large sums of money were offered for thr detection and arrest of those engaged in the assassination of President Lincoln, and sub equently for the capture of Jeff Davis, both matters wore accomplished, and the money for the arrest of Davis was, not long since, paid over to General Wilson and his party. Owing to the large number engaged in hunting down Booth and his associates, it was more difficult to tell to whom the reward was due. The Secretary of War consequently appointed & Commission to investigate the matter nnd make proper division. The report ■was made out and sent to the Secretary I of War who approved nnd sent it to the President for his approval and order to disburse the money. No action has yet been taken by him. Lnr»e numbers of detectives are now in Washington awaiting the announcement to get their share. The amount involved is near a quarter of a million dollars, inclusive of one hundred thou sand dollars in gold offered in California How to Ci kb Thieving.—‘-They have a singular way of punishing robbery in | China," said a missionary, who had just returned from the Celestial Empire, to a number of friends who had called in to hear his account of things in that land of inarvels, “Does it cure the offender of his unfortunate propensities?” eagerly inquired a “philanthropist." whose interest in human beings was in exact ratio with their villainousness. “Well,” re-I plied the missionary, “I never saw the punishment inflicted but once. I will tell von how it was done, and then you can judge for yourself as to its reclaiming and converting powers. They put the culprit in a large mortar, and then fired him \ head foremost against a stone wall." The Bombardment nt Cape Haytien The blowing up of the British Steamer Bull Dog. , New Yoax, November 17. —The Jacorrespondence of the Herald says: Captain of the Haytien rebel steamer -4.' Voldrogue stated that he told the Cap- ' < tain of the Bull Dog the steamer that he was about to seize was the Haytien jP steamer, and in the employ, of the Geffrard Government carrying troops and munitions of war. He believed Geffrard and some of his Cabinet were onboard at the time. The Captain of tbe'Eull Dog insisted that she was a bonafled British vessel on a legitimate voyage, and lefascd to let. ths Captain search her. The Bull Dog followed the Voldrogue, and the steamers which accom. panied her to Cape Haytien, and sending a boat Ashore, was informed that Bone of her boats could land unlass by superior forci'Of arms. A heavily armed launch was sent with orders to land, but

1 failed, being met by a charge of bayonets I from the infantry. The crew were perI ndtted to take off the British Consul — The Bull Dog then prepared to fight, and the Consul was again landed, but no further communication was permitted with the shore, except afterward, through boats of the United States steamer De *Lto. Meanwhile the people were greatly exasperated at the conduct of the British commander, even women came out of t • houses armed with knivee, and vowed vengeance on the English crew if they atI tempted to land. They broke open the i British Consulate, and took therefrom i seven or eight refugees belonging to I Geffrard, concealed there for protection, aid held them as hostages. The Bull ' Dog went to sea during the following i day accompanied by three of Geffrard’s i steamers. She opened lire on Fort ' Picolet, pouring in two heavy broadsides The men were scattered on the ramparts but they soon manned their pieces, and replied with three or four guns. The Bulldog steamed ahead and fired I upon the town with shell and grape, and started to run down the Voldrogue but got aground as already stated. She continued to pour broad sides into the town. Commander Howell of the De Soto, was on shore on duty with a boat’s crew, and miraculously escaped with his life. Capt. Walker, of the DeSoto, sent | a boatabord the Bulldog to know why 1 her Commander was bombarding the I town without notifying him, as he proin- ' ised. and without informing foreign I Consuls. Meanwhile Captain Walker j sent his boat under Lieut. Howell through a heavy lire of the Bulldog and the Haytien batteries, to bring off' all foreigners who wished protection under the American flag. The Prussian, Belgian, French Hamburg and Oldenburg Counsuls and 50 other persons of all nations were conveyed to the De Soto, which steamed with them out of danger. The bulldog sunk the Voldrogue and one of the Haytien schooners, whoso crews were I mostly ashore. Commander Wako replied to Capt. 1 Walker’s message, that he appealed to ' American generosity, and hoped Captain I ' Walker would not take advantage of his unfortunate position. The Bulldog kept I constantly firing on the town all day, and • late in the afternoon begged Capt i Walker to take a hawser from him and 1 tow him off, promising to stop firing and J I leave the harbor; otherwise lie wou dbe > I compelled to blow up the ship. Capt. I j Walker declined any assistance except to ! ' take the wounded aboard, which was ‘ done, lhe Bulldog continued tiling till i sundown. During the engagement she i had one officer and two tq.cn killed and 1 I fifteen wounded. At half pust 10 she was blown up. Tke Currency ol tire Country. The currency or circulating medium is again beginning to attract the serious at tenlion ol the people. There seem to be two parties growing up among financial and business men on questions of currency, finance, etc , viz: one known as the Bulls the other as the Bears. The Bulls go in go in for inflation, speculation, etc., while the Bears favor gradual reduction of paper circulation. Before the com-mi-ncement of the late insurrection in the So'uthern States the entire volume of the currency,, including gold, silver and bank i paper, never at any time exceeded three hundred millions ol dollars, while now it would appear to be three times that an.ount, as follows: 1. OKEENUACKS. Interest bearing Treasury Notes and Compi und Interest Notes. §206,000,000 Legal Tenders bearing no interest §427,000,000 Fractional and Postal Currency $27,0Qp,000 §660,000,000 2 BANK CIRCULATION. National Bank Notes §189,000,000 •State Banks 51,000,000 Total §900,000,000 Thus it will be seen that the amount of money now in circulation is six hundred millions more than in 1859 and 'GO.— Some persons appear to be apprehensive I lest the currency should be too suddenly contracted. Judge McCulloch, tho Secretary of the Treasury in his Fort Wayne speecn, took ground in favor of a graduI al but steady reduction of the greenbacks or, at least, that portion of them bearing interest. There is, if our memory serves . us aright, about two hundred millions of I the compound interest and interest bearing Treasury notes, which become due in 186 G and'67; an<f it would seem to be • 1 the settled policy of the Government to I take these out of circulation by funding ■ them, in other words, by taking them up ; 1 and giving in lieu of them long bonds pay- ' ’ able in ten or twenty years, or by cancel- ■ ing a stated amount of those received in '; to the Treasury every quarter. It is 1 \ said by some who are supposed to be ' conversant with the Secretary’s views > that he does not piopose to reduce them 1 by this system of funding at a rate to ex- ’ coed twenty five millions every ninety 1 days. This being so. as there are now ■. over two hundred millions of these inter- ■ ’ est bearing Treasury and compound n tes 1 i outstanding, it will take two years, at ■ j least, to get them out of the way before . even a beginning can be made to withdraw any portion of the clean greenbacks (.from circulation. It is lobe observed ' that there are now only about two hunl dred and fifty millions of bank paper in '- ’circulation, including the issues of both

s the National and State banks—-the Na- - lional bank currency is limited by act of - Congress to three hundred millions—sup--1 posing after January, the interest bear- • ' D g greenbacks to be reduced at the rate 1 of, eay twenty-five millions per quarter, 1 there would still be no perceptible rcduc- ‘ ’ '.ion of the amount of money in circulation, for six months to come, as the Naioual bank currency will probably conI tinue to increase and be run up to the full I limit by mid-summer. It must be obvi- 1 • ous to every one that funding greenbacks will not cause a contraction of the cur- c rency if the circulation of the National banks increase at about the same rate of the withdrawal of legal tenders. After ; this, say in the course of eight or twelve : months, there will be, if the contemplated ' measures are carried out. a gradual re- ' duction. At present the Banks, National I and State, keep their reserve mostly in L in the interest bearing treasury and com- I ( pound notes, When these are all with- I drawn the banks will be compelled, from 1 1 necessity, to replace them with clean j greenbacks to redeem their own circula- 11 tion, when presented. ! ( The question is sometimes asked, when i ( : will a greenback and gold dollar be of the j > same value? The early financers clour ; country, such as Jefferson and Hamil 1 ton. maintained the position that the Uni- 1 ted States Treasury could keep nt, or ' near, par with specie; an inconvertible • currency if the amount did 6-* exceed lhe annual revenue. Simula, therefore, , the sum paid into the Treasury be equal ■ to a million per day, or three hundred , and sixty-five millions per annum, and lhe above theory should, on experiment, , prove true, as the Government hasaout . of its own paper currency, six hundred 1 and sixty millions of dollars, and they | should not reduce it a more rapid rate . than one hundred millions annually, it [' wili lake nt least three years before we • shall again see gold or silver in circula- ' tion. Nor is it to be forgotton that the . theory of Mr. Gallatin and others, that on irredeemable Government currency can be kept on a par with specie, if not ,| in excess of the revenue, is based on the , | supposition that it, and it only, should be received for all Government dues. How far this will prove to be correct in prac- | j lice, if the Government continues to re--1 ceive the paper of over two thousand disI lerertt banks, scattered far and wide over : the country, may require more consid- ■ elation than we have space at this time to i devote to it. We clip the following from Jan exchange: ’ I I The New Y'ork Trib'ine std tes the total ! jcurrancy of the country as follows .; Government Legal Tenders §638,709 6111 i Notes ol National Banks... .’203,877,355 ; Notes of State Banks 60,000,000 Total Currency §897,586,966' In what has been said, above and in | the Tribune's estimate, no account is ■ ’; taken ol the specie currency. According I to calculations made, there are in the ' i country about sixty millions of gold and ' I silver. This makes the total currency jin the United Slates over §950,000,000. In this article we furnish some date ‘ touching the currency, which will open ’ the way for a dicussion of partical ques--1 lions pertaining to the subject in another article.— lnd. Herald.
