Semmes, the commander of the pirate Ala- bama, has not yet been removed to the Old Capitol, but is confined at the Navy Yard in a Toom adjoining the chapel. The room is in the second story of the building, and is very comfortably furnished, with bed, sofa, and table, and itis also carpeted. The marines at the Yard are charged with his custody. A sentry is constantly on duty at the door of the room, while outside the puilding, under the windows of the room, another sentry is sta- tioned. No one is allowed to speak to or hold intercourse with him except one gentleman, who holds a pass from the Navy Department, understood to be his counsel. He spenas most of his time in reading, having brought with him some of his fayorite books, His meals are brought from a restaurant near by, and paid for by the Government. Under the cir- cumstances |he is quite cheerful, but seems to be anxious that the trial shall take place speedily. THE PUBLIC DEBT. We give below the items of the monthly statement of the public debt, as it appears from the books and returns in the Treasury Depart- ment on the Ist of January, 1866. Debt bea ing interest in coin, $1,167,145,291.80: debt bear- ing interest in currency, $1,179,475,235.50; ma- tured debt not presented for payment, $1.16 32; debt hearing no interest, $459,519,950.37. > ared with the monthly statement of No- vember Inst, that part bearing interest in coin has increased $21,650; the portion bearing in- 6h, art bearing no interest has increased The present statement gives the $10,2 Amount of coin in amount of curren- cy in the Treasury, $4,993,271.11; amount of atonal debt, less the cash on hand in the Treasury, $2,716,581,536.19. total debt the Treasury, $45.735,3 A COOL REQUEST. Mr. John Ferguson, of Charleston, S. C., former owner of the steamer “Planter,” which surrendered to Admiral Du Pont shortiy his attack en that city, has applied for possession of the steamer, claiming that she was stolen by negroes and captured from them by our blockading squadron: that he had taken the amnesty oath, 2nd the steamer should be restored to him with his other property. Gen. Saxton baving been called upon to investigate the affair, reports that the “Planter” was em- ployed by the rebels to transport troops, arms, and ammunition Guring our attack on Charles. ton. While in this service she was gallantly bronght past the rebel batteries, and surren- dered to Admiral Du Pout, by asiave named Robert Small. The steamer has since been re- paired at & cost of $4,000, and is employed by the Quartermasters Department. Small, for bravery displayed since his surrender of the “Planter,” has been placed in command of the vessel. THE WHITE HOUSE. There were not many visitors at the White House to-day, and the reception by the Pres- ident of those having business with him ter- minated atan early hour, Among those who called on the President were James Watson Webb, our Minister at Brazil, his son, Gen. Webb, Gen. Howard, Goy. Pierpont, of Vir- xinia, and a number of Senators. The Pres- ident has @lmost entirely ceased to issue par- dons, none being granted except in cases thor- oughly investigated by himself, and where the parties are in every respect deserving ‘of Ex- ecutive clemen MARRIAGE OF GEN. WILSON. The bour appointed for the marriage of Maj, Gen. James H. Wilson was 11 o'clock this morning. Gen. Wilson marries Miss Ella An- drews, second daughter of Brig. Gen. John W. Andrews, of Wilmington, Del. The wed- ding was, doubtless, a brilliant ceremony, asa great number of the most eminent military and naval officers in the service were to be present, among whom are Lieut. Gen. Grant, Colonels T.S. Bowers, Horace Porter, O. E. Babcock, A. Bodean, and Major Wm. M. Dunn. of Gen. Grant's staff, Maj. Gen. M. C. Me aud Ad- mirals DuPont and Dahlgren We REAR that a subscription paper is in cir- enlation in the pre-emption division of the General Land Office to raise money to carry on the injunction suit of William A. Cook. Cle- phane, Kobbins, and the person named Cross- man, Against the yoters of Washington. It would seem that the clerks of that division are pretty heavily taxed in being required to do Cook's legal work in office hours, and also in being compelled to contribute of their scanty salaries to sustain his dirty, pettifugging schemes.
