GARRETT, A. Q M. Norttunt News The Iron-Clad. We are indebted to the courtesy of A. A. Gen. C. D. Myers for a copy of the New York Herald of the 13tb. Most of the news it briegs has been anticipated, bat the following, relating to the arrival of the iron clads at Beaufort may be interesting to our people. The loss of the Monitor is confirmed : Beaufort, N. C, Jan. 3, 1863. The iron-clad Passaic lies at anchor in Beaufort Roads. I learn that she suffered considerably on her passage down, in tow of the State cf Georgia, and at one time tens on the point of being abandoned. The water was then making rapid 'eadway upon her, and all hopes of keeping it from the fires was given up, when one of the officers, reported to me to be the en gineer, urged another rally on all the pumps. All hands, officers and crew, went to work, and finally suc ceeded in keeping her free until the storm abated. TUB TBASSPORT M0NTEBELLO, having on board the Fifty-sixth New York Volunteers, (Colonel Van Wyck's regiment,) left in tow of the steamer Gahawba, Captain Baker, and got along smoothly until Wednesday laft, the 31st ult. Daring the gale on that day the hawsers.parted, and, the run ning out of others being attended with great danger and difficulty, the transport continued her voyage under sail. Both the Monitor and Passaic could be seen from the Montebello daring the gale, lhey were then pitching heavily, ano w re fquentlyso deeply sub merged that but part of their turrets could be seen. The Montebello arrived safely with her troops, all well. Beaufost, N. C, Jan. 6, 1863. The Iron-clad Alontavk on Shcckleford Shoals, and off" Again all Safe and Sound.. Tha iron-clad Montauk, Captain Wors2en,frora New York via Fortress Monroe, attempted to enter the har bor yesterday morning in charge of a coast pilot, and struck on Shackleford Shoals. The accident was occa sioned by the misplacement of a buoy. The Montauk remained fast until six o'clock ic the evening, when, by the assistance of the tagboats John P. Freeborn, Capt Almy ; John P. Levy, Captain Rogers, and gunboat Miami, she was got afloat, and towed into the harbor, "anchoring abreast of Fcrt Macon. She waa entkely uninjured- Cjaartermaster Bowen, oi this post, is enti tled to great credit for the promptness and efficiency with which he discharged his duties in rendering assis tance to the Montauk. He was personally thanked by Captain Wcrden for his timely aid. The wind was freshening, with a heavy sea, and every prospeot of a gale, when the Montauk was so happily delivered from the bank of sand in which she was embedded. The Montauk left Fortress Monroe on the 2d inst., about three P. M., in tow cf the gunboat James Adger. The sea was smooth and weather calm. On Saturday, the 3d, about eight A. M., the hawser parted, and she was left adrift. The weather continuing favorable, with every prospect of its continuance, Captain Worden con cluded to work into Beeufort without the aid of the Adg er. Subsequently was made fast again to the Adger ; but on Sunday morning,' about eight o'clock, the haw ser 8gain parted ; and, being then inside of Cape Look out, Capt. Worden, for the second time, determined to enter the harbor without the aid of a tow, which he would have succeeded in doing had not the misplace ment of the buoy deceived the pilot. She went on the point of the shoal only about the distance of her own width from deep water, about an hour after she parted from the Adger. Before getting ofi she Oaa to transfer ber shot and sheii to the tugs. Her i viest anchor was 6iipped, but will be recovered to-cray. f he Mon tauk is unstrained, and ready for immedipte service. Officers and crew of the Montauk all Washington, Jan. 12. 1862. The Navy Pepurtmen h been adviser oi the safe arrival at tau.crt oi tt i'atsaic TLf roei story is ana. The Passaic and Montauk are at Beaufort, all welL The former was not disabled. She went safely through one of the most terrific gales recently experienced eff Hatteras. An officer of the vessel, writing to a friend here, says that the superstitions of the sailors and of some of the officers was one of the greatest difficulties to be overcome. Several of them gave up all tor lost at every dash of the sea, and the deck being almost constantly immersed, the appearance of things in a measure justified their fears. Professional men, how ever, are highly pleased vith the Bea-going qualities of the new Monitors, and see nothing to be improved up on save a further strengthening of the flections. Captain Wordao, of the Montauk, bns reported his arrival at his destination to the Navy Department. The Passaic was in port, all well, and nobly braved a terrific storm off Capt Hatteras the same which wrecked the . Monitor. Captain Drayton, of the Pas saic, has written to New York for the only things need ed in his vessel a velvet cushion and some glass af fairs. Care for Virulent Small Fex or Scarlatina and Measles. A merchant and ship owner of this city, says the Bos ton Courier, has had the following recipe sent him from England, where it was furnished by Mr. L. Lirkin, member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and who vouches for it as "a medicine that will effect a revolu tion in the healing art, as regards the preventation and cure, not only of small-pox, but also of measles and scar litina, however malignant the type, in a manner more efficient than ever could have hitherto been anticipated, even by the most ardent philanthropist : "On the first appearance of fever or irritation usher ing in attacks, whether occurring in families cr large communities, the subjoined method of treatment should at once be entered on : Take one grain each of pow dered foxglove or digitalis (valuable in the ratio of its greenness the dark should be avoided) and one of sul phate of zinc. (This article is familiarly known as white vitrol.) These should be rubbed thoroughly in a mortar or other convenient vessel, with four or five drops of water ; this done, a noggin (about four oun ces) more, with some syrup of sugar, should be added. Of this mixture a table spoonful should be given to an adult, and two teaspoonsful to a child, every second hour until symptoms of disease vanish. "Thus conducted, convatesoense, as if by magio, will reeult. The rapidity of an event so auspicious, will equally delight and astonish. It may, however, be ne cessary further to aote, that should the bowels become obstructed in progress of the disease, an evil - by no means commc, then a drachm of the compound of jal ap (formed of two parts cream of tartar with one of jalap) and one grain of the herb, treated as above, form ed into a pastil with syrup cr sugar, should be given to an adult, aad half the quantity to a child.

Finance of the Confederate States. We append a condensed copy of that portion of the report of Hon. C. J. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, recently presented to Congress, which shows the. fiscal operations of his depprtcjent oi the Government, and exhibits the amount and con dition of the public d;.bt on the 31st Dec. The re maining portion of the report, (which is unusally lengthy,) is devoted to the Secretary's scheme or res toring the currency to a normal condition. We will endeavor to make room for the whole, or a synapsis of this part of the report as soon as we can obtain a copy : From the commencement of the Permanent Govern ment to the 3l8t Dec. 1862, the rc? ipts aud expendi tures were as follows : BXCEIFTS.

AMOUNT TO BE BAISKO BY CONGRBiS. The appropriations made by Congress, and not yet drawn from the Treasury amount to $31,879,913 ; estimates for the support of Rov't to 1st July, the encLof the fiscal year, (in cluling $242,977, for the war department.) $290 493,713 Total, $"572,373,626.

The debt of the Government at the same date (Dec. 3lt, 1862) was as follows : BONDS AND STOJK.

It is important to bear this in mi?d in estimating the effect of the act of the last session upon funding treasury notes. The loans in which such notes are fanded axe those mentioned in the schedule as loans of May 16th a i i August 19tb. The amount of these loans, as reported at tbe last meet ing of Congres3, wu3 on 1st August, $41,577,250- By the statement now reported, the total a mount of these bondi is $73,999 ,400 From which Bhouid be deducted amount on hand not yet disposed cf, say 8,000,000 $65,999,400 And, in or Jar to ascertain the amount of Treas ury notes fond id, there most be deducted for ths bonds issued lor produoe, say 7,003,000 $58,999,400 41,577,250 Deduct amount reported 1st August. Balance... $17,422,150 This balance shows the amount of Treasury notes funded in .five months, the average being about three and a hall million per month. INTEREST BEARING TREASURY NOTES. During the same period, the interest bearing Treas ury notes have increased from $22,799;900 to 120.480, 000. Increase $97,680,100 ; from which deduct noe3 on hand $11,904,600. Real increase $85,775,500 This large increase of interest bearing notes affords sat isfactory evidence that the issue of them was a jGdicious increase, and for any ordinary war the bond and inter est notes, amounting together to a monthly Bale of 20 millions would have sustained the Government without any resort to paper currency. But the estimates call for more than twite the amounts furnished by these re sources, and we are compelled to resort to Treasury notes to supply the deficiency."' The Platform of Lincoln's Administration The New Abolition Pronunclanaento. The speech of Mr. Thaddecs Stevens in the Uni ted States Congress ha3 created a new sensation at the North. The New York Wot Id thu3 reviews bis posi tion : Mr. Thaddeua Stevens, of Pennsylvania, the real .leader of his party in the House of Representatives, has at last rendered the country the only service which the country could have expeckJ at his hands. He has un masked the new policy of the Administration, and the issue between radicalism at Washington and conserva tism throughout the country has now been officially made. 1 he radical organs ia the press have ior some time past been throwing fo-th intimations of this issue The slightest expression of reverence for the Constitu tion has long acted upon them as holy water is reputed to act upon the Prince of Darkness. Mr. Steven3 cow avows, ob the floor of Congress, the settled policy at Lwhich these anti-pathetic contortions have long been hinting. The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means deliberately recognizes the Confederate States as a foreign belligerent power, which has lost all its past re lations with the Union, over which the guarantees of the Constitution no longer extend, and which is to be made war upon and subjugated or made peace wich, substantially as if it were a desirable portion of the Mexican territory, or an attractive province of Canada. Of course this position, if it be the position cf Mr. Lincoln's government, must profoundly affect the rela tions of foreign powers to tl : American question. It is a virtual abdication of ull tbe grounds which tbe government has heretofore taken in its diplomatic cor respondence. It asks Europe not to stand by in silence and await the restoration of a violated compact, but to watch the progress of the arms of the Union in a war of conquest and domination. But we forbear at prenent to comment fully upon tin natural consequences of such a change of front at this upon the opinion, and inevitably, therefore, tipon the action of the world at large in respect to our internal dissensions. The domestic aspects of the radical pronunciamento more immediately demand our attention. It invites us directly to coi .template a war for tbe Union without the Constitution. This is not the war which the Amer'can people have undertaken. It is not the war for which they baVe poured out blood and treasure like water ; it is not the war to which- their hearts and hopes are this day.piedged. The old war had an aim whicb rcse beyond the mere blind fury of arms, and could be fought to the possible result of a settlement in which, rights, being respected, law could be restored. The new war imp'ies no alter native result beyond the extermination ol oi.e party or tbe extermination of the other. Are we to understand that in proclaiming it the Ad ministration means to confess that the latter of these results have been reach d ? And is Mr. Stevens pre paring the way in Congress for those propositions of peace which the Tribune has of late been so earnestly agitatiDg ia the press? . A r I is 1 1 .irRiTl'SiTiTvJ THIS IIBa ALU ON -UiKisIUKJf r DATISPEaCIT. The New York Herald "of the Uth instant, has the following comments on rhe speech of President Da vis recently delivered in E:chmoad : But Jeff , in spile of this pleasing illusion, (victories at Fredericksburg and Murfreesborp'.) and forgetting that he ia a professor of piety as well as. philosophy, loos s his temper, and raves like a veritable fish-woman against " the Yankees." He says thit their conduct in this war has been that of demons; that " every crime conceivable, from tbe burning of defenceless towns to the stealing of silver forks and spoons, has marked their career ; that General Butler, in New Oileaos, " exerted himself to earn the ex orations of the civilizei .wGrld," and that the Northern invaders of the South in every way have shown themselves so utterly disgraced " that if the question wa- proposed U you whether you would combine with bjenas.or Yankees, I trust every Virgin ian would say, give me the hyenas." (Cries ot "Good," " Gocd," and applause ) This declaration was coupled with an illusion to President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, und . from thos3 responses of ' good," a good," we are 'jdaioniai ed that hencefort h the war on the part of the rebels will ba fought with a unity of purpose and an intensity of hatred Hgaiusi tb.3 Union whicn they have never yet exhibited.. To sum up the essential points of these lat o speeches of Jeff. Davis in a few words, they warn the adminis tration at Washington that the armies of the rebellion, instead of bdig nearly subdued, are stronger to-day th-n they were a year ago ; that the rebel leaders are more confident cf success now than they were last Jan uary ; that, they intend to " strain every tffort" to save Viekaburg, Port Hudson and Richmond; that thtsa are the strongest and yet the vu'nerable points of the rebellion, aod that if we fail in securing them before the return of f priog, we may prepare for European in tervention and disunion, or for a new army of a million of men.

Twenty-four prisoners from the Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio regiments captured on the Mississippi, opposite Whit river, arrived here to-day. They confirm the report tbat the Federal Gen erals Wyman, Steel, and Smith, were killed before Yicksburg, and represent great dissatisfaction as exist ing among tbe Western troops, with an extreme hatred of the Eastern Slates and an earnest desire for the es tablishment of peace. Gen. Sherman was placed under arrest for disobedi ence of o ders in making the attack on Yicksburg pre maturely. These prisoners surrendered to twe of Starke's cav alry. They say that the Western troops would all de sert if possible. Our scouts report twenty-five transports pressing South on Tuesday last. Enemy Xltpulsetl Near the Black Water. Franklin, Jan. 20.

Moveii ma of tbe Enrmy, The movements of the enemy at Fieiericksbnrg for the last week, hava indicated a purpose to undertake another "On to Richmond !" The operations at Fred ericksbarg, and in North Carolina, taken in conjunc tion, leave some doubt as to whether the real a. tack will be made on the Rappahancock or in North Caro lina. The building of a railroad towards King George C. IL, and a corduroy road accross a swamp protecting the same by a strong redoubt, would indicate that the movement on the Ilappahanock was designed to be made in earnest, while the operations in North Caroli na, were designed as a feint to draw troops from Gen. Lee. Whether the Rappahannock is the leal and North Carolina the feint, or North Carolina the real and tbe Rappabanock the feint, can only be determined fully by subsequent movements of the enemy. But whatever may be his purpose, or wherever he may direct his for ces, whether again3t Gen. Lee or Gen. Smith, we feel CJLfiJent that neither the beaten army of Barnaide nor that of Foster, will be able to eSect anythingjrther than their own-destruction. The raid of Foster gave us due notice that such a re connoisance might be followed by a serious movement, and we cannot doubt bat that proper step3 have been or will be taken to ntieipate any danger from tie North Carolina attack. While the hopes ol the Con federate people rest in perfect security upon tbe experi ence, judgment acd skill oi Gen Lee. Rich. Enquirer A Paiza Lost. Tbe Raymond Gazette thinks a rich haul might have been made by the abolitionists a couple cf weeks since, had they had a know ledge of tbe facts and sufficient courage to avail themselves of the situation. That jour nal says : We. learn verbally that on tbe very day they commenced their furious display in the Yaz m river Presiidant Davis and his staff, General John ston and his staff, General S. D. Lee and bis staff, and innumerable other military men of renown, all dined at tbe bouse of Mr. Elake, near the banks of the -Yazoo, not bnlv within hearinsr of the trana of the Yankees, but also within sight of those terribte gunboats. ' 1 SJN . j - TU Yankee GeiiaJs at Vlekabnrg. A correspondent of the Mobile Kegvter gives toe following account of two or thrc of tbe Yankee offi cers who were killed or wounded Deir Vicksburg t Gen. Wjman, formerly superintendent of the Iijlnois Central Railroad a road already famous for having given to the Yankee army those grand military hum bugs, McClellan and Burnside commanded one of the oldest and finest brigades in the Abolition service. At the commeccement of the war, Wyman rai-cd a regi ment of railroad employes and was ordered to Missouri, where his regiment remained ontil ordered to a?s3: in the taking of Yickbarg. A brigade was then placed under Wy man's .command, and at the bead of this bri gade, which was badly cat up v.hen attacking the Ya zoo strongholds, Wyman was killed. II is mourned by the Yankees as one cf their bravest, aud most skill ful officers. Gen. Morgan D. Smith, fo.merly a steamKoat run ner in St. Loui3, commanded what was stvled a Missou ri brigade, but composed wiioliy of conv;cls pardontd out of the Illinois .Sta'e Prison upen condition of jo a ing the army. It was the infamously no'orious Eighth Missouri, noted for every kind of inhuman outraga aud tie burning of a large portion of the city of Memphis. Gen. Smith, the leader of his desperate band, was mor tally wounded. Smith's reputation for swindling oper ations while at Memphis is equal to that of bis in famous command, aud none wul say tbat he did not deserve lis fate Colonel Smidi, brother of General Smi h, and leader cf one of these 50 disant Missouri regiments, was a'sD killed. And am ;ng tbe wounded in cur hands at Yicksburg, I learn, :s Captain Hayden, formerly a writing maste: in St. Louis, and well known as an atheist. His atheistical and abolition doctrines naturally brought him into the Yarkes line, and at the defeat on the Yazoo he had an 8rm,shot off, which will perhaps interfere somewhat with his penman ship, of which he was deservedly prcud. Sash is the fate of three abolition officer in the battle of Yicks burg, known to ns by reputation. All AND COBIFOKT TO 'I I ID ENE3IY BY VIIOLJiSALE." Under the above singular caption, we find the lo'l ow ing in the New York ' Herald." Oiie of our abolition organs of this city published a letter yesterday, purporting to come from the " Head quarters of tbe Army of the Potomac," which is a con tribution by wholesale of " aid end comfort to the ene my." All the declared treasonable or disloyal publica tions of all the newspapers heretofore, suppressed by tbe Government amount to nothing compared with tut mis chievous disclosures, if true of this sensation latter of our aforesaid abolition contemporary. It tells the world and the rebel army in front of ours at Fredericksburg that tbe "Administration locks with distrust on tbe army of the Potomac," and that the army "looks with distrust on the Administration;" that Gen. Iialleck ha3 deaonn ced this army 41s "disaffected and dangerous," and that, in fact, " the Army of the Pof oniac has ceased to exist ;" that " the animosity in Washington towards the army is amply repaid by the bitterness of the army towards tbe Cabinet ;" that Gen. Burnside bad been ordered to move against the enemy " iast Thursday week," and that the order was countermanded with the discovery that some of his Generals " had no confidence in him;" tbat the army itself has no confidence in him ; that the army is demoralized and ia a dangerous position, and that the Cabinet is debating whether to breik it up, to appoint a new commander, or to try - another advance under its present organization and leader ; and so on to the end of the chapter.

If the subjugation of tbesa States depend npon bat tles fought upon paper, the Yankees will certainly sub jugate them in a very short time. Their battles on tbe field are almost, always disastrous to themselves ; on paper, they are only so many trurr.phs, each for tbe time unparalied, and each rising ia dignity and impor tance above the other. . But tbe other day we bent them baHJy in tbe field at Murfreesborongh and Yicks burg.' They have made themselves amende, after thtir fashion, by a great victory at Arkansas Post. With regard to the detail of this exnloit, aa publish ed by us ye&terdiy from the New York Herald, we must say that we are utterly incredulous Arkansas Post is an old French settlement m Arkansas county, on the Arkansas river, about one hundred mi!c3 above the mouth. It was a p:st during the exis'ence of tbe United States, and was he!l by a email fjr?e, n: ver more, we believe, than two or three companhs. Tbere were no fortifications there, and, as far as we ran learn from the most diligent ii qairy at the ptopcr source, no considerable body of troops. At t'"e utmos-t it is to. believed that there were more than four or fi.v hundred. Yet tbe Yankee pa cr victrry ol's for 7,000 prisoners, 550 killed and wounded, ar.d nine cannon. If we placed credit in this alleged vic tory, we should be at a J033 to know Tom whence 60 many men came, how they got to Arkansas Post who commanded them, and liat cou'd have irtducfd them to surrender without inflicting a loss of tr.or j than one hundred men upon ti e enemy. Tim whole story i3 incredible, and we predict tbat it will turn out to be a fabrication, based upon the surpris3 and capture of an old dilapidated fort, and a few companies loit thereto guard the public stores. We can never be ind'icid to believe that 7,000 Ccn federate soldiers could have sur rendered, after a re-sistence so feeble a) tht imp!:ei in the Yankee accounts, without making some ifijrt to escape, either by abandoning the pot before it waa in vested, or cutting their way out after it was. A few days, however, possibly a few hours, will bring u re ports from our own officers in that quarter. Richmoiid Dispatch, 21s. A Great Mistake. It is a great mi3take for men who are not in tbe army, to suppose that their obliga tions to aid in establishing our independence are les3 imperative than tLOe of our soldiers whose sphere of duties embrace the cump and battle-field. Indeed, if there be any difference, real cr imaginary, the duties pertaining to men at heiae (3333 the Selma Rt potter) are more serieus and weighty than those belonging to the soldier. This point, however, need not be argred. What we wish to 'iin preps upon the mind of every man at home, is that his sphere of usefulness is not contracted by reason of his being out of the array; rn the contrary, be may do jast as much to sustain (he Government ao if he had a musket upon hi"3 shoulder. The pecpb of the South are passing through a fearful ordeal, and under the deprivations entailed apoa them by tbe blockade of their ports, they need substantial aid from each otber, as well as the generous sympathies that should characterize a crisis like this. Now, if the3e premises be correcl, it is impossible that any patriot would accept this a a suitable time for making monej by speculating upon the necessities of our suffering people. We speak in kindness, for we are quite sure that the want of reflec tion has been the fruitful ause of much of the f pecula ting mania, that has efilctcd the ccuatry. Men who desire to be esteemed as honorable, have been incau tiously carried away upon the current, who, if tbey bad waited to reflect, would have been slow to incur the in famy that will forever attach to those who employ this dark hour in making haste to grow rich.
