WASHINGTON.

The Treasurer of the United States has forwarded to the Governor of Louisiana $21,000 free school bonds of the State captured at Baton Rouge in 1865 by Gen. Sheridan. The discovery has been made at Washington that in 1848 President Polk deeded to the monument association the ground on which the lofty marble column has been reared by the Government, and that the title still rests in the corporation.
