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.

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

The Milwaukee News of last iu-tk
record as follows one of the bravest-,
and noblest acts ever performed bj a;'
Railroad engineer.
On Wednesday last, as "the train "nrt
the La Crosse Railroad was, c6niit ,"'
east, and when about dmile east df Cam-'
bria, the engineer saw a little boy ibrmS'
five years old on the track. He irnk--diately
whistled to "brake," and rcnirs
ed the. engine,. but as it was on a dow"
grade, he found he could not stop tho .
train, which-, when the-child wis '5rs'
seen was under full motion. The cdt-
neer stationed himself on the forepiri . .
ot the locomotive, and watching his
chance, jumped ahead of the engine,
snatching the boy from the track, an I
thus saying his life The train passed'-.
on some distance before it stored.--'
The name of th engineer is L. TV

for his noble act. . There, arc f err ?ien
