Govtrnor, of a most brutal end atrocious murder,
which waaperpe'rated In Gillespie county, on the

ienca given at the Coroner's Inquest, that on tbe
evening before mentioned, at 7 o'clock, the hcnuo
of Copt. Louis Bchutze of Fredericksburg, was sur-

them, from the house, a donble barreled ahot gnn,

taf By reference to oar news columns, It will
be see that the Conferene* Committee of tb* two
Hoases of Congress had agree! on tb* Military and
Carrenoy bill*, and ware to report th* day follow-
lng. We bav* no doubt, both bill*, a* framed by
the Committee, bave become laws, and we wait
with mueh anxl> ty the features of tbe new currency
bill, a* onr future success mustio a great measure
depend upon It* resolta. Bo far a* we caa learn,
th* present currency Is all to be withdrawn from

medium, wblle the Government I* to be supported
by taxation'and tb* sale of bonds. How thl* will
affect the present eurreney It Is difficult to for****,
but on the principle that "when things are at the

It any lower than it now ls ; and we would recom-
mend *11 who now hold Confederate moaey,which
they have been so anxious to get rid of, to hold on

20 for 1, at' whioh rate It ha* been current in tbl*
elty for *om* week* pa*t, fluctuating slightly
aocordlng to the amount of spent* offered tn Jh*

and silver b not now a standard of value. We oon-
fts* we know no other, and *o much to has It
become a atandnrd bare, and out West, that any
artlole now offered for nal* I* quoted at so much
specie, or 20 for 1 In Confederate mon#y. Blnce
this bo* been the ruling rate, oon*ld*rable *peol*
ha* found it* way into circulation, and we now
believe If Confederate money oonld be entirely
withdrawn, there is almost sufficient metafile eur

lating mediate. It is the fear of l>* being with-
drawn, and taken out of the oonntry that can* * it
