DREW ..Editos .Associats KoiToa The Issue ot Treasury Notes. The bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue one hundred millions of dollars of United States Notes, is now before the House ot Representatives, and will be ably debated. The bill is of great im portance, and we give our readers an outline of its principal provisions. The Secretary is authorized to issue, on the credit of the United States, one hundred millions of dollars of such notes, not bearing interest, payable to the bearer at the Treasury, or at the office of the Assistant Treasurer in the city of New York, at the pleasure of the United States, and of such denominations as he may deem expedient, not less than five dollars each ; and such notes and all other United States notes payable on demand, not bearing interest, heretofore authorized, are made receivable for all debts and demands due to the United States, and for all salaries, debts, and demands owing by the United States to individuals, corporations, and associations within tbe United States, and are also declared lawful money and a legal tender in payment of all debts public and private, within the United States. Provision is also made for the convenient exchange of such notes for six per cent. bonds of the United States, redeemable in twenty years. Further to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to fund the Treasury notes and floating debt of tbe United States, he is authorized to issue, on the credit of the United States, coupon bonds or registered bonds to an amount not exceeding fivehnn dred million dollars, and redeemable at the pleasure of the Government after twenty years from date, and bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum, payable semi-annually ; and the bonds thus authorized are to be of such denomination, not less than fifty dollars, as may be determined upon by the Secretary of the Treasury, or in sums of not less than 2,500, for which, if requested, the Secretary of the Treasury, if he deem it expedient, may issue similar bonds, the principal and interest of which may be expressed in the currency of any foreign country, and payable there. The Secretary is authorzed to issue said bonds at their par'vaiue to any creditor or creditors of the United States who may elect to receive them in satisfaction of their de. niands ; provided that all such claims or demands shall have been first audited and settled by proper accounting officers of the Treasury : and the Secretary of the .Treasury may exchange each bonds at any time for any of the Treasury notes that have been or may hereafiar be issued under any former act of Congress, or that may be issued nnder tbe provisions of this act. Of the bill, the National Intelligencer, remarks: It is simple and perspicuous in its terras meeting the public exigencies at once, and furnishing a currency which it may be presumed the business transactions of the connlry will absorb, without any danger of depreciation from the effects of an over, issne. The bill, however, is silent on one very important point, at least a point of whose importance we are strongly persuaded, and which has been enforced by us in former references to this subject. For it still remains to ask, "In what is the interest on the bonds issued nnder the provisions of this act to be payable ?" In gold and silver or in Treasury notes? However solemnly tbe latter may be declared by law a " legal tender" equally with the former, it demands no great financial sagacity to predict that both at home and abroad, the . credit of tbe bonds will be largely dependent on the solution of this question. Make the interest of these bonds payable in gold, and they will have a real and permanent basis in public confidence. In the absence of such basis, the whole scheme will be exposed to dangerous fluctuations, that must greatly impair the credit of the Government and enhance the expenses of the war. Transportation fob tiibGovernment. As an evidence of the immense . business uone Dy the Government in the way of transportation, u is stated that during the past six weeks there have been forwarded to Washington, from Baltimore, 15,000 feet of lumber (including heavy timber stock), 12,000 cords of wood, and 10,000 tuns of coal- Since the 20lh of October, 9,000 car loads, carrying 300,0o0 bales of hay, have been sent from Baltimore to Washington, together with 5,000 car loads of oats and corn nearly 3,000,000, bushels. On tbe average, 100 cars ot the largest enpacity, heavily laden with freight, have passed over the road every day since the 20th tf October. In addition to this, five , regular passenger trains, and (rom one to six extra trains fur troops, have passed daily to and from the points above named.

&3 The General Order of Gen. Hunter, ia another column of this morning Journal, is a Tery rexarkable document. Unless we hare read the Eastern papera of the last month to no purpose, the expedition to which Gen. Lane has been assigned, is entirely independent of Gen. Hunter, or his department. AH the details of the expe

dition have been arranged ia Washington. Ample power has been conferred npon Gen, Lane to use this own judgment in conductingthe war, and he ia n route to Leavenworth to take his command, under orders from Gen. McClellan. We are now informed by Gen. Hunter,' that the expedition "designated in the newspapers as Gen. Lane's expedition will be led in person by the Major-General commanding." The order conveys the idea that Geo. Hunter, within his department, is supreme, and that Gen. McClellan in assigning Lane to a com mand, encroached npon his (Hunter's) privileges. We are no prophet, but we hazard the prediction that Gen. Lane will lead the expedition called by his name "in the newspapers,'' and that Gen. Hunter will be reminded of the pro priety of attending to his immediate command, leaving it to Gen, McClellan to designate the man who shall lead expeditions out of Kansas, Prom the Twenty-Firth Regiment. We were pleased, td meet yesterday, Lisut. Brnner of tbe 25th Regiment who, with Captain Larkinand sixseargeants have, retnrned home on recruiting service. Tbe regiment ia still at St. Louis, and on Sunday last mustered 800 sound men, with fifty in the hospital who will recover. It is. the desire of the officers to fill np the 25th to its former Dumber, and these officers will at once enter upon the duty assigned them. A fine opportunity is afforded young men of joining a regiment already in the field, and which will undoubtedly see active service before long. The Twenty-fifth is officered by brave and gallant gentlemen, who know how to treat the men under them while in camp, and who in battle, will lead them in the thickest of the fight. Flax Cotton and Flax Wool. Many persons seem to be rather skeptical in regard to the success of flax cotton, or rather, as to whether it has really been ac complished, and many are ready to cry out, " humbug" without taking pains to enquire into its merits and tbe facts in regard to it. We have undoubted assurance that Messrs. Hall St Farrar, of Jamaica Plains, have a manufactory in (nil blast, tor the purpose of converting ! fi'.n- of flas into cotton and wool, by u i.rw (.lijcess recently invented, and that they ate making about a ton per day ,t. for i which' there is a steady and in creasing demand ; and when mixed with wool, is said to make a superior article over that of cotton mixture. The fibre wears better and the color is more permanent They also manufacture of tbi3 material, prints, cloths, flanuels, stockings, satinets, cassimeres, blankets, &e. , . The flax cotton can be produced at from eight to ten cents per pound, which is cheaper than King Cotton himself, and will pay the tarmer liberally for raising it, aside from the seed. In many parts of the country, farmers cultivate Flax for the seed only, which pays fully as well, and ia many instances better than corn, less trouble and a more certain market. A meeting was recently held at Lockport, N. V., for the purpose of organ izing a company for the manufacture of Flax Cotton, and to convert it into Cloths. Ex-Governor Hunt aud Hon. S. B. Ruggles were present and took part in this meetingIt will thus be seen that flax cotton, and the manufacture of cloth from the material is a fixed fact, and that King Cotton is in a fair prospect of being flaxed out. Sa?" The business of. the Post Office at Washington' City has increased wonderfully since the war began. Tbe returns of the office for tbe quarter ending Dec. 31st, x hibit an amount of business performed sur passing that of any similar period since the establishment of the capital of the Genera Government, and, after paying salaries of the largely increased force and other contingencies, yielding to the Post Office Department tbe handsome sum of $52,749. Tbe (stamps aod stamped envelopes sold durin; the quarter amounts to $71,243, The sale of stamps and stamped envelopes averages $1,900 a day. The office employs eighty clerks. President Lincoln's Barricade. The fact, says tbe New York Evening Post, that tbe President is charged with inaccessibility by Senators and others, has led friends ot Mr. Lincoln to make inquiries ot mm and his private secretary as to the .acts of th matter. They are what everybody supposed them to be that the President has not time tc see everybody who calls npon him that he must deny somebody. ,To a gentleman who failed to discuss the matter, the President remarked, "I have not looked into a newspaper .for a month !" " Therein you have made an immense mistake," was the reply. " Whatever and whoever else Ton neglect, do not fail to understand public opinion, and the wants of the people, and you cannot obtain this knowledge except through the newspapers." , . -. This incident calls to" mind ' the practice of Secretary Marcy while he was in Washington. He Bteadily employed an intelligent clerk George W. Newall to look overall the prominent-journals, friendly and unfriendly, extricating the particular passages which , should., be .noticed. One hour of each nay Mr. Marcy devoted to this newspaper clerk, who read to him strikh)g passages, and in an article, prepared by him gave a brief history of the journalism of the day. In this way the Secretary kept himself, . ronsLintly informed of the position of his political iriends and enmies. grThe Mount Cirmel Register, which has been taking a "breathing spell" of several moniiia, has resumed publication. It pr'Jishes the mail lettings for Illinois a very nie little arrangement Ho pat temporary vitality into an otherwise languishing concern.

Opotlteyoholo, the Loyal Indian Tells his Story to JttaJ. General Hunter. We have received tbe Leavenworth Conservative of the 23d inst, containing

an account of a recent interview between Opotheyoholo, the celebrated Indian chief, and Gen. Hunter. It contains the particulars of the recent fight' between the' rebel and loyal Indians, and we, publish the ac" count in full ' Major Cutler was formerly a resident of this city. - Yesterday Opotheyoholo, the head chief of the Creek Nation, in company with CoL Wm. G. Coffin and Major G. A. Cutler, had an interview with Major Gen. Hunter. Opothyeholo, through an interpreter, told Gen. Hunter the recent terrible events he had gone through. The danger of remaining in their own country becoming fearful, John Ross calling himself a Union man, had told the loyal Indians to go on to the Cherokee lands. They followed his advice and were attacked the first night after reaching the camping grounds " designated by Ross. When the Union Indians-" only 2,000 were attack"! by the rebel Indiana and Texana-more than 3,000 they fought like tigers. Tbe Unionists followed the rebe'.s five miles and slaughtered the villains as they fled. The Union Indians then changed ueir camp and agtili took the position designated by John Ross. The next day, c r r".wea n-vf ck si f o rvon i-tY' - art r Amain Ul vvo lav v vuiu B f-, juu aauva a uit umi u ng the same, were aliased by rebel In dians under Mcintosh and Drew, and Texan a and Arkansans under Gen. Cooper, and tbe rebels were again defeated and driven back, leaving fifty-five rebels dead on the field. Tbe rebel prisoners taken in these two engagements were " dispatched"witb arrows. The Union Indians then fell back to the northern boundary of the Cherokee Nation and there remained unmolested for two days. On the third day, while a Urge number of tbe Union Indians were out seeking pro visions for the destitute families, tbey were again attacked by an increased force not less than 4,000 in all. The battle commenced at 10 o clock in the morning and lasted till night, the Union Indians maintaining their position. Their ammunition being entirely consumed, Opotheyoholo ordered a retreat to Kansas. The Umop Indians having a large num ber of women and children, and all being on foot, the retreat was necessarily slow. The retreat, as described by the Chief, was truly heart-rending. They were poorly provided with clothing, all suffered greatly, many were frozen to death, but the fatality among women and children was much the greatest. bince the arrival of these persons a large number of their friends have followed them, and there are now not less than six thousand men, women and children, on our Southern border. Provisions, blankets, money to buy beef cattle, and rations in large quantities have been sent to them. . Replies were made to Opotheyoholo by Gen. Hunter, Col. Coma and Major Cutler. The brave old warrior was deeply impressed with the interview, and departed fully convinced that the u pale faces " would sus tain bis people with the full force and power at tne command ot " the Ureat Father." CSyThe reception of Gen. Jim Lane at Chicago, indicates the popularity of his mode of dealing with the rebellion. The peoplo have no sympathy for traitors, and hail with satisfaction a man whose avowed policy is to " attack, pursue and destroy the rebellious enemy, and deliver the coun try menaced Dy traitors." Lioyai men honor him, because they believe that he will strike hard and quickly whenever he takes the field. Mr9. Laae, during her slay in Chicago, was presented by a mechanic of that city. who modestly withheld his name, with a splendid carriage valued at $1 000. The gentleman who made the presentation speech thus alluded to Gen. Lane, in con nection with the Presidency in 1864: " If it should be your destiny, on a 4th of March after the next Presidential elec tion, to drive with him in the carriage now given you, to the White House at Washing ton, there are . many here and some of them bis old tellow-citizens from his and their former State who would not unwillinglyacquiesce in such a turn of for tune. . Applause.J - LETTER FROM COL. S. S. FRY. --Mrs. Fry. wife of the gallant Colonel S. S. Fry, of tne 4tn Kentucky regiment, received a let ter at Danville on Friday last, from Col. F. written after the battle near Somerset. He details in the letter the manner in which he killed Gen. Zollicoffer, which varies somewhat from the many statements we have seen. Col. Fry was in the act of leading his regiment into a charge upon the Mississippians, when Gen. Zollicoffer, accompanied by his aid, rode up to him and said: "You are not going to fight your friends, are you? These men [pointing to tbe Mississippians] are all your friends." In the meantime Zollicoffer's aid fired upon Col. Fry, wouoding his horse, from which wound the animal died. Col. Fry then turned and fired upon Zolliffer with fatal effect. Gen Z. evidently labored under the impression that Col. Fry was a rebel officer. The stories about the old intimacy of the two officers are all untrue. They had never met before, nor did Col. Fry know tbe rank of the officer upon whom he fired, as the evidences of his rank were covered by a cloak which Gen. Zollicoffer wore in battle. THE BRIGHT TREASON CASE.

The "fleecy snow" fell thick and fast all day yesterday, but the roads ore in Bach a condition from the recent rains that it will only add to tbe depth of the mud, which, in some places ia as unfiithomabte as "Milton's Chaos." ,t .

' The high water baa rendered the working of tbe Henderson Coal Mines impossible, and the people" of that city, are " hard up" for fuel. The Superintendent ot the raises will secure a supply of coal from other sources, nntil the river falls. 6" We call attention to the advertisement of the Phoenix Insurance Company, in another column. ; This is one of the most reliable Companies in the country, with ample capital, and it adjusts, promptly, ' all claims against it. Mr. Nexsen is the agent of the Phoenix. BSaf It will bo seen by reference to the Council proceedings, that hereafter horses are to be kept in readiness to draw tbe steam-fire engine, .and we understand a stable is to be built ' opposite tbe engine bouse, for their accommodation. This is a step in the right direction and meet3'the approval of every citizen. Why any member of the .Council should have opposed the proposition, or worse than this, not voted at all, is incomprehensible.
