AMAAfT -4; EH DLL Treasure of Ibe Confederacy. The bill which has just passed the two houses of Con gi ess, and is now in ibe hands of the President, repaying the assigns of W B Isaao & Co., for tbe old taken from that firm's bank at tbe evacuation of Richmond, recalls an interesting history of the gold here in possess sion of tbe Confederates. When the city was deserted by the Confederate government, there was in the treas ury and the banks here o!d coin amounting poesibly to several mil lion dollars. Mnch of It was car ried off by surviving heads of tbe Southern governme nt, with a view of paying tff the troops of Joseph Johnson's army. For a long time there was a general impression that a large amount of this treasure bad been placed in a coffin and deposited in a vault in Hollywood cemetery. So strong was this suspicion that the suspected vault was searched, bat without success. This gold seems to hare a dread fata'ity attached to it. A reference to this money in the editorials cf one of tbe Richmond papers was the onse cf a du 1, in which one of h participants fell bedly rounded at the first fire. A leading State official, who bad carried off some of hia gold for ssfe kespinp, came near beiDg drowned in crossing a stream with the money in a pouch tround bis waist. What was left here was paid out aa salaries to tbe various Oonfederata officials- sta tioned here, some of whom after the war returned what they haj re ceived to the Federal government.

After cordial greetings and hearty band shakings, the children began to bring in their presents for grandma, consisting of an easy chair, cot-bed, a number of dresses and but we cannot name them all, and then such a dinner, the children kept carrying in baskets of well you know what it takes to make a good dinner.
