The following rgport has been received at the headquarters of the army: Camp SUMMERVILLE, VA, Nov. 12.—BErig. Gen. George Crook, Commanding Kanawha Dis- trict-—kir, 1 herewith eubmit a port of my expedition into Greenbrier county: On the 9h inst., proceeding agreeable tepr- Ger, I bivouacked thrve miles beyond Gauley river. On the moving en, I marched all day without interruption; but learned that Gen. Jcnkine, with 2,50 men, in addition to Uol. Dunn's force, occupied the country before me, stat.oned as follows: Colone] Dunn's command is between Lewis- burg and Frankfort. The ith Regiment of Virrinia Caval: is at Williamsburg. One regiment of cavalry is at Meadow Bluffs, pas- turing their horees, with a battalion of four hundred cavalry on the wilderness road as guard. A small force is at White Sulphur, and General Jenkins, with the remainder of | his command, 1s on Muddy Creek, eight miles from Lewisburg. I however pushed forward until within | three miles of Williamsburg, where I came npon & wagon train belonging to General Jen- kin’s command. They were encamped for the night, intending to lead with wheat the fol- | lowing day. Isurrounéed and captured the whole, con- tixting of prisoners und propery, as follows: Nine prisoners, named J. L. Evans, captain nnd acting assistant commissary; W.M. Evan Wagon marter; two wagoners, enlisted men; three wagoners, citizens; two negro wagoners, end two citizens, who were present and in- terested in the grain. The. property taken is as follows: 7 wagons, 23 horses, 4 mules, and 24 sets of harness. After fretting firetoand destroying the wagons and | grain, with the building it was stored in, I set cuton my return, meeting Capt. Smith with his command on Cherry river, 10 miles from Gau- Jey river ford. Arrived in this camp with the above prison- ers and property at 5 o'clock p.m. on lth inst.

Yesterday, the great expedition, which hae | created such vast preparations and increasing interests, sailed from New York. Throughout the day ail the vessels to take part in the gigantic enterprige, presented busy and excitin; ecrhes in jhe embarkation of troops. Genera! Banks euperintended. nearly all the at Mmerts for the departure of the fleet, and, although many obstacles happened to delay the expedition, he expressed his determination that it should leave last evening. A large number of prominent eitivens, how- ever, Agreed that the General should not de) without receiving an ovation during which they could bid him a final and formal adieu. For this purpose, in uccordance with a previous arrangement, the following gentlemen met Genera) Banks on board of a Government cutter at the Barge Office, and enjoyed with him « delightful trip down the hgrbor; Goy- ernor Curtin, Mayor Opdyke, Commodore Vaa- derbilt, Surveyor Andrewr, and others. foon after the cutter sailed, the com) ir proceeded to the cabin, where they sat down to dinner. « General Banks” health was proposed“and honored by three enthusiastic cheers, The General, in reply, epoke as follows: “Fellow-citizens: I feel very much gratified at meeting you on this occasion, and with you comes good Luck, for we havea pleasant day. I have been in your city five weeks, and three weeks of that time it has stormed; but, despite the elements, we are here to-day-ready for the work before ns. I conld not be better satisfied in any undertaking of its kind. The Govern. ment has given us a good chance, aud we pro- | pose to give you the eatistaction of gaining by this ex}edition some pationa) advantages and results which will be Stee Te, | and glorious to the cause of this Union not belive such a command has ever.gone from New York, as it is composed of the best men of New England and New York. It is trne that many of them are recruits; but that better than old soldiers who have all the ills which they have acquired jna Iaborions and sickly campaign. e go to yy id the fi of the Union and sustain the Constitution, id may God grant we may be successfal. Allow meto give you—“The enccrss ef our expedition.” The toast was received with lond cheers. The General was then urged to speak again, but he declined. Gen. Wetmore alluded in eulogistic terms to the character and strength of the expedition, which, he said, was freighted with the t hopes of the nation. The people, he said, every confidenee in its gallant commander, Gen. Banks. In closing, he proposed the health of Goy. Curtin, referring comp.imentarily to the Keystone State. Gov. Curtin, in response, said it was abso- lutely necessary to the ane and dignity of the pation te capture Richmond, the so-called cap- ital of the Contederate States. No expedition to Texas at that time could accomplish any- thing material to the interests of the country. Richmond should be taken; then the rebellion could be crushed and the Union restored. He closed by regretting that the troops of his State Were not largely represented in the ex; ition, und gave the toast—“Succees to the Govern- ment—Nucerse to the Union—trasting in God for the result.” e 9 S&F The business of counterfeiting rebel State treasury notes, lately detected at Richmond, Was traced to some negroes who were eng: 1o Fweep ont the treasury department. e stole the binnks, while anofher filled up and signed them. &F The case of Wm.

For that ion of the current year, during which the internal taxes will have been he estimetes their proceeds at cence aes millions.

The Secretary's views of the-resources of the country is production of already Teucbed about #100,000,000, and must steadily and rapidity advance. He counts largeiy upon el rution of labor, to toliew she return of peace. le does not favor the idea of a permanent national debdt, but prefers Joans at euch ' as will enable the principal to be sal or at the earliest moment when payment becomes practicable. We eubjoin a few extracts from the report: The whole power to borrow money under the act of July, 1861, to authorize @ national loan is now exhausted. The only important Iswe under which means for meeting demands on the Treasury can Le hed are those enacte or mod- ified by Congress st its lest session. There are of two genucral classes, nataely, thore which provide revenue from cuties and taxes, and those which authorize the obtaining oi money by Joans in various forms. The actual and estimated receipts under these laws for the current fiscal year, asaiready stated, will amount under the tariff art to #6¢,041,236.59, and under the internal revenue | law to #t5,4°6,303.73. The receipts tor all other | fources, exclusive of loans, as estimated, will | Teach #13,953,75".47, making a generalaggregate, | including $13,043.548.81, balance from last year. | of &160,$85,315.00, and leaving to be provided | from loans, in rome form, #6UF, 62. The laws of the second class Limit the issue Inited States notes, exclusive of the con- gent reserve for deposits, to #250,000,000, limit | the amount receivable on temporary deposit to £106,000, and limit the issue of Hve-twenty | sires to 0,000. The issue of certificates of | indebtedness and of fractional currency is un- limited by Iegielation. The nmount of United States notes, includin, notes receivable for customs, already ieoned and in circulation or in the treasury to the credit of disbursing officers or of the Treasurer, was on the Ist instant €22,0,111. There yet remaine, therefore, under the law, an authority to iesue the further sum of €27,067,469. The amount received on deposit, including coin and eetimating for the last day of November, is #79,7°¢,650. ‘Lhe turther sum of 620,201,350 may therefore yet be received. The issue of fra. | tional currency bas the sum of | @3,544,000. The best lights lead to the estimate that before epecie payments can be resumed, not lees than £40,(40,L0u will be required by the | Wwante of the community. The sum of $36,115,200 | not yet iseucd, may therefore be counted on as | &n additional resource. It is not easy to deter- | mine what further payments can be made in | certificates of indebtedness, but it seems prob- ' Able that pay ments ‘in that form may be safely | carried to emount of $10G0N,000 Theee | payments have already reac! $°7,303,241.45, | and the additional «nm of $12,696,758.35 may | therefore be paid in that way. What can be justly expected from conversions under the act authorizing the issue of five-twenty sixes, that | is to say, from exchanges by holders of United | Atates notes for theee bonds, at par, cannet be j Stated with much certainty. The amount re- | ceived from this source from the date of the act to the Ist instant, estimating for pamt ol the last werk in November, is $23,750400. It may rea- somably be expected that $35,000,000 will Te. ceived, if the act remains unmodified, during the remainder of the fiscal year. The te of all these tums, namely, $131,92!,197.35, con- stitutes the total of resources available for the © current year under existing laws, except | through «ales, regarded as impracticable under ties at their market value. e These credit resources, with the actual re- ceipis from like sources, added to revenue in all forms, may supply the treasury with £511,646,200.96. Thero remains a balance of dis- bureem: nts of 8276, Ud States notes adapted tocirculation as mone tobe orgauized under National legislation. The Sicretary says: It is true that gold commands a premium in notes; in other words, that to purchase a giver? amount of gold a greater amount in notes is re- quired. But itis alco true that, on the snapen- ments and the substitution lor coin of United States notes, convertible into | cie bonds as the legal standard of value, gold became an arti de of merchandise, subject to eat yoy! 4 fluctuations of supply and demand, and to the extraordinary fluctua- tions of mereepeculation. * * *° The cir- culation of United States notes may great! facilitate the payments to the banks through whieh their own notes must be withdrawn: and thus not only protect the community from the inconveniences, but the banks from the losses which might otherwise attend reduction. It may also be stated that when the subetitn- Uon shall have been accomplished, Apdpertiaps if circumstances favor, st an ear! period, pa ments in specie of United States notes may resumed with less cost and less injury to butiness than would attend a like resumption in payment of corporate notes. With atively trivial sacrifice, the Government can, whenever its expenditures are reduced to its revenue, provide, by loan or all the ecin needed to commence and maintain the re- sumption. ALEXARDEIA Arrains.—County Court is in session here. Wm. McKewen, charged with felony, in etealing a boat from James Dixon, was examined, and the Court decided that Mc- Kewen was not guilty of felony, but that there Was cause to charge him with petit larceny, and that he be committed to jail answer an in- dictment at the next term of the (Quarterly Court, and the Court deth further order that he may be admitted to bali in the sum of $100, con- ditioned according to law.
