The following items are from the Treasury Teports for the week ending on the 10th instant: the week ending March 10th were as follows: ‘ar Fractional currency was issued amounting to $154,500. The amount of the same deposited in the vaults of the Treasury is $297,500. Mu- tilated fractional currency was redeemed and | eancelied amounting to $348,905. Certificates of in: $122,000 were issued and $122,000 were redeemed and destroyed. The amount of available funds in the Treasury vaults is $140,000,000. * The Redemption Bureau stamped as coun- terfeits 418 cent nots, 83 twenty-fives, 27 tens, one $50 and one $10; total $292.45. gaan esas eas ay NATIONAL BANKS. The following are some of the transactions of the Treasury with regard to National Banks ring last week: The Secretary of the Trea- Sury designated the Second National Bank of Gaieab urg, Ilinoi, as a depository for P sreeg funds. There are now 1,642 National ks, with an aggregate capital of $412,643,266. The | ‘Comptroller of the Currency issued as circu- Jation of National Banks $2,123,960. The total amount now issued is $20,552,750. The sum total of the securities held by the United States for deposits of public monies as circulation for National Banks is #25,(23.500. A despatch in Sunday's Herald says the ex- citeme nt is very great in all parts of Canada, | and that people fully believe before another week passes Sweeny will sweep down upon the borders; but nearly ali are sanguine of Us- nadian ability to repel him. Some timid peo- le Friday came near causinga ron on the Banks by withdrawal of their deposits. The Hibernia Society declare they will walk in procession on St. Patrick's day unless stopped at the point of the bayonet. A regiment bas been ordered from Toronto, C. W., to the Niagara frontier. Troops from Montreal are togo to eastern borders Two companies of negroes have enrolled themselyes at Toronto. Persons trom Montreal report that many Lower Canadian French refuse to turn out: but this statement is very question- able, though some few men have been forced to fall in at the point of the bayonet. Another despatch from Toronto, dated at § O'clock Saturday evening, says that the excite- ment and preparations still continue all over the provinces. Large additional levies left for the front thisafternoon. The troops paraded this morning and were thorougly equipped ; and weil drilled. Most absurd rumors are i afloat that find few believers. Some imagina- tive people really think Sweeny is approach- ing in three columns—the center, twenty thou- Sand strong via Niagara; the right fifteen thou- Band cay vo via Ogdensburg, and another cohc™n via Detroit. ‘Yhe Toronto Leader has the following des- paten, dafed (Quebec, ae afternoon : “The excitement regarding the Fenian inva- Sion continues j2 military circles, amd most active pi tions for defense are being vigorously prosecuted. The Volunteer force which was called toarms on WedncS44Y night and kept ready for sny emergency ail 1.2® £0! | lewing +. at the drill shed, was regulariy billeted. Yesterday out of a force of eleven hundred there were eleven deserters, who ‘were brought to headquarters by a guard with drawn bayonets. The Toronto Globe of the 9th instant says :-— “The time has certainly arrived when the Government of the United States are bound to interfere and bring to an end the proceedings of the Fenian gy bere ae the Union. ‘The journals of the United States are daily Hilted with the most inflammatory appeals to the citizens of the Republic to wage war on Great Britain. Large public meetings are held to promote that end; public officers of the United States preside and speak at these meet- ings; money is subscribed at them, and arms and ammunition are purchased with the cash so raised. And yet President Johnson and his Cabinet look Raph saree atitall. The people of Canada are dantly able to give a good account of all the ruffians who may risk their necks by coming across the lines to disturb the but it is poor repayment for the exer- tions of the Canadian Government to prevent hostile movements from Canada during the civil war, to be compelled to spend money, and perhaps blood, in resisting outrages planned in pret rome ani openly prociaime? for months in ail the journals of thé Union.” The Leader of the same day has the follow- ing:—“It isa question, too, whether the time has ot come when the United States government should interfere to stop the frand which is be- ing practised upon so many of its unsuspect- ing, generous and warm hearted, but fearful- ly deluded ple. We cannot forget that whatever be his virtues, Mr. President John- Son gave an encouragement to Fenianism, in the reception of delegates from the Philadel- phia convention, which was unworthy his po- sition; aud itis but a few days since the tele- graph informed us that «Cap McCafferty.” a protessed emissary of Stephens, the great chief - of the Fenians, who is now a fugitive from justice, bad a “long and interesting interview Witb the President.” An Ottawa (March 8) dispatch to the Toron- to Press says: There bas been no little excite- ment here to-@y in connection with the snd- den calling out or the volunteers. One rifle ; company and one battery Of artillery were or- dered under arms before dayiight this morn- ing, and told to be in readiness to Jeave town by I2o0’clock. No order for their departure, bowever, has yet been’ received. The greatest Sarto Lona ang ene. the volunteers, legram m Montreal to the Toronto — March 8, — eatest ex~ tement has prevai_ ere ali day. The Goy- ernor ‘General, is said to have received extra- ordinary imformation with regard to the hos- tile designs of the Fenians, and it is said he ‘Will not hesitate to put the full powers of his Office into foree. It is believed that the act of habeas corpus will be at once suspended, in order the more effectually to deal with the emergency. {Parii.ment will have first to as- semble and give its assent before this can be done.—Ep. Leaver.) The whole volunteer force of the city was called out and is under : a tothe number of two thousand The Montreal Gazette of the 9th inst., has the following: nso After the Trent affair gome military gentlemen yisitéd the Victoria ge, and Tecommended, besides a strong guare the putting up a chain gate similar to those at the citadel of Quebec, which would prevent any sudden entry or surprise, and | which might be easily opened and shut as trains passed through. A very small party, with a few bags of powder. getting into the Victoria bridge, might do infinite damage in a few minutes, as well in respect of yal f property destroyed as in interrupting rail way } communication: and at a time like this. when bands of vagabonds, bent on mischief, might come in, it seems to us to be unjustitiable to leave such a point and so much valuable prop- erty soopeniy exposed. A chain gaie, which would be very strong, with openings sufficient to allow rifles to be fired through it, might be —_ made. One at either end of the bridge would be desirable. We would say we are Fequested to publish this suggestion by a gen- tleman who was cognizant of the examination to which we in the first place alluded. A gnard was placed at the bridge at the time of the | Trent affair, and we suppose this will not be ited.

The intense excitement prevailing among the “blue noses,” and the hot haste with which the “loyal”’ hosts in the Provinces are arming to repel inv2sion, as noted in the Canadian pa- pers, irom which we furnish copious extracts, contrasts admirably with their philosophical and contemptuous calmness when we on this side ofthe border were struggling for existence with a vigorous military power, backed by British neutrality. Positions are now re- versed. 1t is no longer their bull which gores our ox. Note the admirable coolness with which the Toronto Globe calls upon the Presi- dent to interfere, (with what?) and its innocent forgetfuinecs of recent events, when it boast- fully but pleintively adds: “The people of Canada are abundantly able to give the ruffians a warm reception, but it is a poor repayment to the Canadian Govern- ment for its action during the rebellion in the Southern Statee to be now compelled to spend meney and blood in resisting outrages planned in the States of the neighboring Re- public.” is the St. Albans raid, then, so soon forgot- ten? Is the Canadian memory so short and the Canadian character so ungratetul as to re- member no longer those dear friends from the so-called Confederate States, who were re- ecived only a short time since with the warm- ect sympathy and regard, and encouraged in their diabolical plots for the murder ot citi- zens, burning of cities, spreading of infection, robbing of banks, and other atrocities in the loyal States of the Union! The Canadian curses, it appears, haye soon come home to roost, and there is nothing the people there now dread more than to receive the same trearment they accorded to us. John Bull knows that we are quick tolearm and apt to ape British manners, and therefore dreads the reoil upon his own head of those admirabie lessons in “ neutrality” which we were forced to leayn during four years of bloody andeyent- ful war. We know not whether cur provincial neigh- bors have much or little cause for their great alarm; but if their apprehensions are trae, then we must accord to the Fenians great con- fidence in their strength and great contempt for their antagonists, when they herald to the ‘world their numbers, maneuvers, and plans, stating just what points in Canada are to be attacked, and by what rontes, and with what force the assaults are to be made. Surely here is & Magnanimoas and generous foe, who scorns to take ® mean advantage, but advises his enemy as to his every movement. But suppose the publications of anticipated moye- ments are mere feints, to keep the « Kanucks™ on the qui vire, and weary them with false alarms; suppose really formidable plans (and more formidable because secret) are adopted, contemplating movements in unexpected direc- tione, with forces whose numerical strength is imposing but not known, and also act in accordance with well matured plans of strategy and battle! 1f we can suppose all this, then we muy imagine that the last state of our Canadian neighbors will be worse tnan the first. MORE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS, Senator Sumner has offered the following proposed amendment to the Constitution, which has met with the approval of many of his Congressional] friends; ARtTicie —. Representatives shall be appor- tioned among the several States which may be included within this Union according to their respective numbers, which shali be determined by taking the whole number of persons, and excluding Indians not taxed.

THE MALIGNANT SPRECH of Thad. Stevens on Saturday, in which he put on the clown’s cap and bells to cover the animus of his foul billingsgate leveled at the President, is re- ceiving universal censure from thoughtful Republicans, even those of the radical school, who are sagacious enough to see that such utterances as those of Stevens against the Chief Magistrate of the nation is calculated to win for the latter the sympathies and esteem of the people of the country, and strengthen his position impregnably with them. It was just such vindictive, intemperate abuse of An- drew Jackson as this leveled by Stevens against Andrew Johnson that made Jackson the idol of the people: and from present ap- pearances, the scurrilous abuse of President Jobnson by Stevens ct al.,—though not so in- tended—wil! do as much for Andrew the Sec- ond.
