He was made 2d lieutenant of engineers Jnly 24, 18ts; Ist Heutenant in the same corps August 29, 1520; and captain May 2%, 1828. He was superintendent of the military academy from September 1, 1558,to Augast 15,1545, having been prowoted major of the corps of engineers July 7, 138. Ln 1855 and 1556 he was a member of the military commission to the Crimea and heater of war in Europe, Ins observa- tions entitled ‘Report on the Art of War in Europe in 1854, 1 and 1356.” being d.vs.d | Published Ly erder of Congress.

Our Fleet Asiatic Waters. OFFICIAL DISPATCHES FROM REAR ADMIRAL . JENKINS. Rear Admiral Jenkins, commanding Asiatic station, reports to the Navy department, under date of Nagasaki, Japan, September 29th, that the Hartrord, his flag-ship, still remains at that port, but it was his intention to sail about the first of Qctover for the China coast, and to risit the treaty ports on the Yungtse and thence to Hong Kong. The Lockawanna was at Hako- date, where she would remain ti!! October, and thence proceed to Yokohama. The [roquois was at Shanghai under orders to proceed up the Yangste river as faras Chinkiang. The Saco was at Yokohama. The Yantic is at Nagasaki, but would sail for the China cogst with the Hartford. Lt was the intention of Admiral Jen- kins to send the Yantic to the south to visit the Philippine Isiands, and particularly the islands of that group to the southward of Ma- nilla, the ports of Ilo-[lo and Zebu, and the Looloo seas, where the Spanish are making war upon the ntive Suitan and other rulers, and where the presence of a United States vessel- of-war may possibly be of service to the inter- ests of our trade and merchant vessels in these waters. The Ashuelot and Palos were in the dock-yard at Yokoska for re: , and would re- main there till December. The Monocacy was at same place, undergoing repairs. The storeship Idaho was in the harbor of Yokosha, where she was to be sold, in accordance with orders from the department. The Lackawanna had been to Vindwostok, the new. Kussian naval station in Kussian Siberia, with a view to ascertain the advantage- of that place asa station for a party of observation of the transit of Venus, and the report had been forwarded to Rear Admiral Sands, president of the commission, together with letters on the snbject from Vice Admiral C.

Apuaal Report of Treasurer Spinner. OF BECKRIPTS AND INCSEASE OF PORTANT RECOMMENDA- NATIONAL CUR- LAR(ES RBCOM- 8 NDED, ETC. The report of Gen. F. E. Spinner, United tes Treasurer, just submitted to the Seore- y of the Treasnry, shows a large failing off in the receipts of the government from last ig to 824.280,764.07 ow custo and to £16,012,865.55 on internal revenue. This decrease in the revenue is mainly dae to the «feat re@uction of taxation by Cougress. Tae expenditures are vious year, aud this, to the large approy Congress in excess of the estimates made by the several execntive departments of the govern mnt. The Treasurer says either taxation mast be inereased, an expedient that can ‘hardly b: thought of, of the appropriations mast be kep largely below the reovipts. Otherwise th> rapid reduction of the public debt will be arrested, if not abandoned. . A CONVERTIBLE CURRENCY RECOMMENDED. The Treasurer makes a long argument in favor of a flexible currency to meet the wants of the conntry, and recommends as a remedy for the evil of money being locked up at times, or perbaps swamped in disastrous schemes and wild speculations, the authorization by Con- gt ss of the issue of a certain amount of legal- tender notes, that could at ali times be converted into a currency interest-bearing stock of the United States, and for which the holder of such stock #0 aathorized could at pleasure, at any tme, receive legal-tender notes, with the accrued interest, from the day of issue of such stock to the day of its redemption. it is be- lieved that arateof interest no higher than 3 €5-100 per cent. will be high enongh to absorb the desired amount of the circulation when not necded for commercial purposes.and low enoagh to foree the return of the bonds in exchange for lvgal-tender notes at the times when the busi- ness wants of the country shall require more enrrency. DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL BANKS. ‘The treasurer thinks the practice on the part of national banks of paying interest on deposits, xd expecially that of one bank allowing Interest on the deposits of another, whether they be per- mitted to hold the proposed bonds as a part of their reserves or not, sbould be forbidden by jaw, under the severe penalty of the forfeiture of their charters. THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK SCHEM He believes that expansion rather than con- traction would be a much likelier consequence ax the result of the resumption of specie pay- ments, Reterting to the design of the Post master General, as expressed to him, of recom mending in his aunual report a scheme for post- al savings banks, Treasurer Spinner say3 by this plan all persons will be enabled todeposit with the postmaster in all parts of the country amounts of money for which, when received at the Treasury, will be issued ‘to them currency interest-bearing bonds of a like character here- inbefore described. As this would change a large amount of the indebtedness of the nation from six per cent. gold interest-bearing bonds to others hearing a lower rate of interest, paya- ble in currency, thus making a great saving to the nation, and at the same time, giving to al! the people a place of safe deposit, and as it will be an auxiliary and a help In the project before indicated for the improvement of the eurrenc the plan commends itself strongly to bis jud, ment. WHY IT WOULD RE POPULAR. This rate of interest, being just one cent a day for the use of $100, would be popular with the masses of the people, because of the ease with which interest could be computed on any amount forthe known number of days that a bend may have torun. [tis very probable that the legaily-authorized amount of $100,000,000 of legul tender notes need not be inerei io order to carry out this scheme; and it is more than likely that under the then changed condi- tion of the currency, with no tendency to go into wild projects and stock speculations, the minimum amount of 8556 ,000,000 would, on ac- count of ite belng readily obtained in exchange tor the proposed stocks, be suffictent for the easy transaction of the legitimate business of the country at times when commercial wants shall need the largest amount. It ix believed that with this new attribute of the legal tender notes, the parties who are now so clamorous for more paper currency will become satisfied that no more ts needed, and that those who believe that it is mischievously redundant and a hind- rance to the resumption of specte payments will have opportunity to judge of the correct ness of their precor ceived opinions. DISBUESING OFFICERS’ CHECKS. ‘The treasurer suggests relative to disbursing officers’ checks that the heads of the different departments of the government be asked to is- sué orders to all their disbursing officers who make payments by checks on the Treasury, or on any ot the officers thereof. Fexuiring such officers to place the number of the check upon the receipt received. therefor, and the num of the receipt upon the check given in payment for the same in all cases where claim is made that credit be given toa disbursing officer, on the settlement of bis accounts, on outstanding checks issued by him, qu which he may haye before received a credit on the receipt taken on the delivery of the checks. REDEMPTION OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. The total amount of currency outstanding at the end of the fiscal year was $588.424,619.23. The ow uding fractional currency in 1864 was $14,842,335; of amount there was redeemed in the next fiscal year $4,903,747 34, being at the rate of 33 percent. After that the falling off of the sucess ot redemptions is shown to be very great. The decrease of redemptions in the next year was 29 per cent,, aud ror the year closing with the 90th of June last, the actual redemp- tions on the amount outstanding was a trifle leas than one-third of one percent. These facts would seem to indicate that nearly the whole of this issue, originally amounting to $20,215.635, that still exists, has been redeemed, and that probably about $4,000,000 have been destroyed, and ean be fairly deducted from the actual circulation of the fractional currency, and that the national indebtedness is reduced by that amount. In bigh contrast to this stand the redemption and_ percentage of the outstanding circulation of the oki demand notes. These are the other extreme, and the redemption has been greater, and is nearer up to the full amount issued, than that of any of the issues of United States car- rency. T DEyACED NATIONAL BANK NOTES. The Treasurer suggests that unless national banks can be induced to provide for the prompt retirement of such of thelr notes as are and ma, become unfit for circulation, Cengress should be asked forthe passage of a law compelling them to doso, or to authorize some arrange- ment through which the exchange of new for old and defaced notes of all the natianal banks can be made through the instrumentality of the Treasury department. He also recommends that, to prevent frauds, the former rules and ery od in regard to the redemption of United States notes and frac- tional currency from which parts may be mias- ing, may be bv put in force, or that Con; may be asked to such a as may at least in part prevent, in this regard. frauds upon the Treasury. - In closing, the Treasurer urges increased compensation for his employes, and says not cent has been stolen by them during the year.
