Approved, May 15, 1858. He ircnt Down TTlth Earness on. We find in the National Intelligencer, a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, written by Lieut. Maury, giving in detail the order of events connected with the loss of the steamer "Central America." Lieut. Maury, who was a brother-in-law of the brave Herndon, in the introduc tion, says : ' ' " As a tribute to his (Herndon's) memo ry, as material for history, as an heirloom of the Navy, and a legacy to his country, I desire to place on record Si the Depart ment this simple writing and memorial of him. The letter gives the history of the dis aster as gleaned from the most authentic sources, and is thrillingly beautiful. "We make one extract, which we know will draw tears from eyes unused to weeping. The letter says : There were many touching incidents of the most heroic personal devotion to duty and to him during that dreadful storm. Even after the ship had gone down, and her passengers were left in the water clinging by whatever they could lay hands on, offices of knightly courtesy were pass ed among them. As one of the last boats was about to leave the ship, her commander gave his watch to arrassenrrer, with a request that it miifht be delivered to his vrife. He i t jr 1 her r.lso, but his utterance wes choked.- i Teii her Unable to proceed, he I bent down his head and buriedliis face in his hands for a moment, as if in prayer, for he was a devout man and true Christ ian." - In that moment, brief as it was, he en dured the OTeatest asronv. But it was over now. His crowded thoughts, no doubt, had been friends and home; its de solation; a beloved wife and lovely daugh ter dependent alone for support upon him. God and his 'country would care for them now. Honor and duty required him to stick to his ship, and he saw she must so down. : Calm and collected, he rose up from that short but mighty struggle with re newed vigor, and went with encouraging looks about the duties of the ship as be fore. He ordered the hurricane-deck to be cut awav and rafts to be made. The life-preservers were also brought up and distributed to all who would wear them. Night was setting in, and he directed Frazer, the second officer, to take charge of the arm-chest, and send up a rocket everv half hour. Van Ilenssaleer, his first officer, was also by him. Herndon has spoken of him to me in terms of esteem and admiration, and Van Rensaleer proved himself wor thy to the last of such- commendations. Side by side these two stood at their post, and perished together with their harness on. After the boat which bore Mr. Payne, to whom Herndon entrusted his watch, had shoved off, the captain went ' to his state Toom and put on his uniform. The gold band around his cap was concealed bv the oil-silk covering which he usually wore over it. He took the covering off and threw it on his cabin flour, then walk ing out he took his stand on the wheel house, holding on to the iron railing with his left hand. A rocket was set off; the ship fetched her last lurch, and as she went down he uncovered. . A crv arose from the sea, but not from his lira. The waves had closed over him, and the curtain of the night was drawn aver one of the most sublime moral spec tacles that the sea ever saw. Just before the steamer went down, a row-boat was heard approaching. Herndon hailed her. It was the boatswain's boat, rowed bv hard hands and a gentle heart returning on board from a brig to report her disabled condition, u sne came alonide she would be engulphed by the sinking shin. Herndon ordered her to keen off. She did so, and was saved. This so far as I have beenrable to learn, was his last order. Forgetful of self, mindful of others, his life was beautiful to the last ; and in his death he has added a new glory to the annals of the sea. It. does not appear certain that her com mander was seen or heard, after she went down, by any of those who survived the wreck. Mr. Lhiids, one oi ine passen gers, thinks he conversed with him in the water after midnight on Saturday, only a little while before he himself was picked up. But Herndon was small -of- stature of delicate frame and constitution, and by no mea'ns in robust health. He was al ready suffering from the incessant labor and exposure cf the'st two days and that long Friday "night. His 'fatigue must have been greatand when the waves closed over iis ship he was, in all proba bility, too exhausted to struggle witli the rest in that, pool of drowning men' for floats and life. Everything that could be "done by the best sea-captain to save his ship was done to save this one. Brave hearts, and strong arms, and willing mind were on board. There was no lack of skill or courage. Order and discipline were preserved to the l ist, and she went down under conduct that :fiii3 the heart with sentiments cl un utterable admiration. . Herndon "was in the; 44th year cf his age. He was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, cn the 2oth day cf October, 1S13. He was the son of the late Dab ney Herndon, of that places ami was the fifth of seven children, five sens and two daughter, of whom Mrs. Maury is the elder.J He was named after - Captain William Lewis, of thfe Navy, who was lost at sea on beard the U. S. brig Eper vier. Lewis Herndon was left early an orphan; and entered the navy at the age of fifteen. Affectionate in disposition, soft and gentle in his manners, he was beloved of his own ; he also won the love and esteem of his associates wherever he went, and he became a favorite through out the service. None knew him better, or loved him better than, respectfully, your obedient servant. M. F. MAURY. . Lieutenant U. S. Navy. I How to dispense Tvltn Paper Honey. Heretofore it has been attempted, by instrumentality of action in the several States to effect a currency reform. This has been impossible for although some States might prohibit the circulation of banknotes, others would continue it, and still continue to deluge the prohibition States with their emissions. The true plan is and we invite the at tention of the friends of a constitutional currency to it for Congress to pass a law imposing a direct tax on the circulation of bank notes as currency. The power of Congress to do this is unquestionable. The constitution expressly gives Congress authority to levy d:re:t taxes. In case of 1813 it to-cd a !r,v taxb.r be the in all their der.aruirJs' a cent on every dollar bill issued.' -This tax was continued until ISIS. It was then i taken ou wnne an mairect tax was conti nued on sugar, salt, and other necessaries of life. . To comment upon this odious distinction is entirely unnecessary. Banks have spe cial privileges granted to them, and ought to pay more taxes than those who have not these special privileges. We call for the reimposition of the tax, by Congress, on bank-paper issues. Let it be from the first so high as to prohibit all notes from circulation of a less denomination than twenty dollars. Gradually it could be in creased upon the large bills, until the true constitutional currency of gold and silver was restored, It was never intended by the framers df the constitution that there should be any other money than gold and silveri They were hard-money men. They had seen the evils of the old paper issues of the old Constitutional Congress in the days cf the Revolution. The de preciation in value of those notes was so creat that it be$r;rared thousands, and brought financial ruin and distress upon the country. They insened a provision in the present constitution making nothing but coin legal tender for debts, and they forbid States from issuing bills of credit. This they supposed would accomplish' the purpose. But the States have evaded it. and have delegated to individuals the power to issue what they had no right to do thems?Ives. The violation of the cons titution, in the issue of notes, has so long been practiced and has become so inter woven into the business of the country, that the courts, in view of the immense consequences, have shunned a decision on ,the point and allowed the circulation to continue. Let Congress now perform what the courts have omitted to do. .The next Con gress will be Democratic. We hope to see it, before it adjourns, impose the tax upon banks, and take off the tax upon ealt. The tax on bank bills should be gra duated; the smaller the denomination the heavier should the tax be. None but large bills would then be issued by the banks. and lanre bills are more m the character of bills of exchange than a currency4. By driving all bins unaer twenty or nfty dol lars from circulation, the channels cf trade and the common money transactions of every-day life will be filled with nothing but gold or silver. The Congress which restores to the people a sound metallic currency and drives from general circula lion all banks promises-tc-pcy will render a. greater service than any which has met since the constitution was formed, and "?n ' e r i. win gain an immortal iaiae icr ltseil in the archives of the future. ' The country is ripe for it. No -measure could be mare popular or meet with a more hearty ap provalf rom the Democratic masses. - The ball for the constitutional currency ourht to be immediately set in motion.
