Boutwell gave notice of the adoption of destructive paper for all obligations and other securities of the United States, and warns all parties that it is felony to have or retain possession of paper like it.

Senator Sprcgur-Anottu r Exposition of Hie Views. Senator Sprague made a speech at a Masonic pic-ni a at Sci tua te, R. I., on the 5th inst. We copy os follows: We have a country the richness ol which has never been equaled. It hoe been given as much to yon as to me; itt benefits 'are as much yours as they are mine. But have ita riches been equally distributed? The idea of the founders of the republic was that the blessings ol the Government should bo equally dis? tributed. Bot I ask any ono of you however loud his voice or extensive hie influenco-what power ho has to-day tc control the acts or will of those you have elected to lead yon. I am a representa tive from Rhode Island-a Senutor, ai you know-to tho Federal Government of the United States. There is a dis Unction to be drawn between my obliga tiona ns an individual and my obligation: as a member of tho Government. Whei you send me to represent 200,000 people in tho Senate, and vote entirely in you: interest, when tho voto I give concern? 40,000,000 people, am I not asked to d< more than I ought to do? And when tin independence and honesty of Rbodi Island character requires mo to speak nr best convictions, I um sure you will bi generous enough to accord that full pri vilege to me. For Rhode Island mei nud women have been celebrated fo their independence and fair denting fron its settlement to the present, time, and . hopo that the spirit of independence ha not departed from me. Rhode Islam men will see in what I have said an< done their own characteristics. You ar hero to celebrate the nation's birth-day and you have the intelligence to knoi that unless the Governmout is admiuif tered upon correct principles, you ar affected accordingly. If the ad ministril tion of your Government is not in ac cordanco with the principles -vhich you ancestors fought for, the question is the Government deriving its power froi the people-if you have the power t make a change and effect a good admit ist ration. Your ancestors fought for tb destruction of that great power whic forced officers nud taxes upon them nc of their own choice or imposition. TL idea, then, which was carried i uto effec by the ovents which ended in 1783-tin it was the power of tho people wine should give direction to the affairs i their own government-was tho or which triumphed in the end. I h;n asked you if in the exercise of tb; power you have been able to control tl political events of your own times, answer that you have not been able do so; or certainly you would not ba' controlled them to the evils of tho pu eight or ten years. The sacrifices of oi ancestors in Jtbo Revolutionary strugg hnvo not had their legitimate resh What is the reason of this? No fr people, of their own act, would have pr duced tho disastrous condition which i suited in the civil war and its bloody t orifices. There is some power whi prevoutod you from the enjoyment that liberty whioh our forefathers thong they had established for you. You may look at tho institution slavery and learn a usefal lesson. Coi with me to the South and examine, you will, and see what it was that ga to that section so great a political pow and made it dangerous to the peace tho country, and you will find that it v not social and religious questions whi produced the troubles, but it wai money-power represented by the neg It was capital in nogroes which det mined the danger and bronght on 1 great civil war. Capital-power in i groes-this it was which, in the progr of time, centralized in the hands of I few, and, "heading up" at Chariest macle the negro the agent of tho pow You destroyed that power in tho w But in destroying the negro power j created another-a burden of debt wh is crushing overy industrial and ma facturiug interest, which is corrupt society nnd sapping away your libert: and which threatens to bring abot condition of things similar to the one put down. How can a free peoplu r mit tout there shall be abscribed i few hands n similar powor, as vicious daugerous and as wicked, as that wi wo have once destroyed? Certainly people cannot permit a condition affairs which centralizes all tho facili of business and commerce in the ha of the money dealers, and subjects people to them. I wage war on 8 powers ns I have described, and t will as certainly bo destroyed as the gro power. The want of a proper rection is the reason of tho existeno such a vicious system, with tho res I have predicted. You have had eno of war and revolution; and if, in the tnro I liavo drawn, you aro induce* think of the condition of the count] nnd I speak to you in general-I shall come satisfied. The Sonator dofonded himself length against tho chorgo of having famed the character of the Rhode Is soldiery during tho war. Ho cl with the following allusion to Mr. fax: Bat I cannot close without poiutin the recent exhibition, in the t?resenos of ! the whole people, of the Vioe-President of the United States traveling and speaking in th? interest of the powers I condemn. He reminds me of the ass who stole the habiliments of the king of the forest; for when he asserts that the country is pros? perous and contented, he bat Snows the ears which prove his trae character. He came among us more especially as the representative of the mighty West, a people not yet h ide- bound to the dictates of the moneyed aristocracy, or to cus? toms and, institutions founded upon it. But he joint? counsel and co-operation with those powers which in themselves and in their representative capacity are so in hostility to the independence and growth of the West. Let him and thoso who have induced hjm to degrade bis high office to their level, be prepared to meet on the floor of the Senate, for the information of the people from whom he comes, his true character, aud that of the alliance he has made. In California, a miner hnd died in a mountain digging, and being much re? spected, his acquaintances resolved to give a "square fuueral," instead of put? ting the body iu tho usual way iu any roughly-made hole, and saying by way of serviee for tho dead, "Thar goes an? other bully boy under!" They sought the service of a miner who bore the reputation of having, at one time of his career, been "a powerful preacher in the States." And then, for Western fashion, all kuelt around the grave while the ex? temporized parson delivered a prodi? giously long prayer. Tho rainers, tired of this unaccustomed opiate, to while away the time began fingering the earth, digger fashion, about tho grave. Grad? ually looks were exchanged; whispering increased, until it becume loud enough to attract tho r.tteution of their parson. He opened his eyes and started at the whispering miners. "What is it, boy3?" Then, his eyes lighting on sparkling scales of gold, ho shouted, "Gold, by jingo! and the richest kind o'diggings the congregation's dismissed!" Instant? ly every mau bogan to prospect the new digging, our clerical friend not beirgtbo least activo ol the number. The body had to be romoved elsewhere, but the memory of tho incident yet lives in the name of the locality, for "Dead Man's Gulch" became one of the richest locali? ties in California. Just as tho journey across our conti? nent lins been made brief by tho comple? tion of tho Pacifie Railroad, a new enter? prise has been uudertnkeu to shorten tho distance around it. Marshall O. Roberts, of New York, is at the head of a com? pany incorporated by tho Vermont Le? gislature, and holding a grant from the Mexican Government, for tho building of a railroad across the Isthmus of Te huantepec. Tho Atlantic terminus of the proposed railroad is Minatitlan, a river town twenty miles from the Gulf of Mexico, easily accessible to sea-going steamers at all tide, from which point it will run duo South to the Pacific, mak? ing that water at tho port of Ventosa, one hundred oud sixty-two miles dis? tant. The construction of the road does not involve many difficulties, tho ex? treme elevation being ouly 793 feet, and ten substantial truss bridges required. Mr. Roberts has just signed a forfeiture bond of $100,000 for tho construction ot a carriage road, and a telegraph line along the route within eighteen months. The railroad itself is to be commenced within two years, and finished within three years more. The total amount of capital required for tho undertaking is $8,930,009. The money in tho New York Sub Treasury has recently been counted by sixty-six expert accountants. The work commenced on the 29th ult., and conti? nued eleven days. After the greenbacks, to the amount of over $30,000.000, had been tw.ce counted, and the total bad been found to tally exactly with the figures given by Mr. Van Dyck, the bags of gold and silver were attacked, the seals broken, tho sewing ripped open, and the contents poured out on the iron floor. Iben fifty small streams of tho metal, "though lost to sight to memory dear," flsw in every direction from fifty pairs of bands from ono pile to another and bael again, as ono set of account? ants took the other's placo, and the merry chinking diversified tho orderly confusion of tho mon's voices. Nearly $70,000,000 in gold and $500,000 in sil? ver wer? thus bandied and replaced in bags, sewed up and sealed. Then $3, 000,000 in shining gold bars were wuighee, counted and packed away, and on Saturday morning, the tired nc countnets stood on their feot, stretched their backs, rubbed their eyes, folded their dusters, and like tho Arabs, noise? lessly stole away. It was found that Uncle Samuel had in his coffers in New York $102,727,6-48.29. A correspondent, evidently affected by surrounding circumstances, sends the ' Boston Advertiser the following: If a fellow catch a fellow Stealing of his wood, Should a fellow lam a fellow, If a fellow could? If a follow catch a follow Kissing of his wife, ShOpld a fellow chop a follow With a butcher kuife? Soma of tho nc wost boots for tho sum? mer fulton by loops instead of buttoning, and of course show tho stocking. Tho hext nove towards absurdity we should snppoie would be a fluted frill of laco to peep through this opening. F D.
