In the event of her capture or destruction, Major Brent will act in accordance with the verbal instructions of the Major-General commanding, or in such other manner as circumstances may direct. By command of Major-General Taylor. E. Surget, A. A. General Major-General R. Taylor's gunboat expedition, C. S. S. Webb, thirty miles below Vicksburg, off prize Ironclad Indianola, February 25th, 1863. Maj. E. Surget, A. A. Gen.: Major — My last dispatch to you, exclusive of the telegram sent you last night, was from Natchez. The Federal ironclad Indianola had forty-eight hours start of us at Acklin's Landing; at Natchez she was less than twenty-five hours in advance. We left Natchez on the evening of the 23d instant; and I found that we could easily overhaul her on the evening of the 24th, but I determined not to do so, in order that I might bring the enemy to an engagement o

front; so the troops were quietly withdrawn at 1 o'clock the following morning. The wheels of the captured piece were cut down, and it was left on the ground. The enemy seized that opportunity to claim a victory, and the Federal commander was so imprudent as to dispatch his Government, by telegraph, tidings to that effect. After withdrawing from the attack, my troops were placed in the line first occupied, and in the original order. General A. P. Hill says in his report, dated February 25th, 1863: . . .Friday morning, in accordance with orders from General Jackson, I occupied the line of the unfinished railroad, my extreme left resting near Sudley Ford, my right near the point where the road strikes the open field, Gregg, Field, and Thomas in the front line; Gregg on the left and Field on the right;; with Branch, Pender, and Archer as supports. . . . The evident intention of the enemy this day was to turn our left and overwhelm Jackson's corps before Longstreet came up

ove into Kentucky, or farther. The movement in General Bragg's theatre of operations will be, necessarily, under his control. Those from it and beyond it, I will at least inaugurate. There should be no attack upon Franklin until full information is obtained of the enemy's strength. If expedient, it will require a considerable addition to your force. I hope to be able to visit you very soon. Most respectfully. Your obedient servant, J. E. Johnston, General. Chattanooga, February 25, 1863. Hon. J. A. Seddon, Secretary of War, Richmond: General Bragg reports reinforcements continue to reach Nashville. Major-General Cox arrived last week with a division from West Virginia, and Major-General Sigel is just in with more troops. Should not our troops in West Virginia follow the movement of the Federals? It seems to me urgent. J. E. Johnston, General. Mobile, March 12, 1863. Hon. J. A.

in 1861, when the navy was sorely in need of ships, and she was christened after the donor. In Hampton Roads she led one of the two columns of fighting-vessels of all sorts that had been assembled to meet the Merrimac, in case she made another attack upon the fleet after her encounter with the Monitor. The Vanderbilt mounted fifteen guns and showed great speed. She was employed largely as a cruiser. Her first prize was the British blockade-runner Peterhoff, captured off St. Thomas, February 25, 1863. On April 16th she caught the Gertrude in the Bahamas, and on October 30th the Saxon, off the coast of Africa. Under command of Captain C. W. Pickering, she participated in both of the joint-expeditions against Fort Fisher. July 28, 1861. Confederate privateer Petrel, formerly U. S. revenue cutter Aiken, sunk by U.

to do. There was actually more gold paid in than was paid out. From that hour the business of the country permanently revived for the first time since the great revulsion of 1873. By act of Congress, March 3, 1883, the taxes on capital and deposits of banks, bankers, and national banking associations, excepting such as were already due, were repealed, and also the stamp tax on bank-checks, drafts, orders, and vouchers, the latter provision to take effect on July 1, 1883. The act of Feb. 25, 1863, limited the period of existence of the national banks to twenty years; but an act of July 10, 1882, provided for the extension of the charters of all national banks under prescribed conditions for twenty years more, and under this act many banks reorganized for the longer period. In the war revenue act of 1898 a stamp tax of two cents was imposed on every bank-check, and in March, 1900, the President approved a new currency act which established the gold dollar as the standard unit of

rs, therefore, after the repeal of the subtreasury act, the treasury was managed practically at the discretion of the Secretary and without special regulations by law. The election of James K. Polk brought in a Congress largely Democratic in both branches. In 1846 a bill was introduced to renew the sub-treasury system. It passed both Houses, and became a law Aug. 6. This act was practically the same as that of July 4, 1840, and has since remained in force with but little change. On Feb. 25, 1863, the act creating a system of national banks became a law. This authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to make specified depositories of the public moneys, except receipts from customs. The original sub-treasury acts provided for seven places of deposit-New York, Boston, Charleston, St. Louis, the mints at Philadelphia and St. Louis, and the treasury at Washington, the first four being under the control of assistant treasurers. The status of the sub-treasury system in 1901 is clearly
