Prof. O. J. Wood : Dear Sir: In the latter part of the
year 1852, while attending the State and National Law
School ot the State of New York, my hair, from a cause
unknown to me, commenced falling off very rapidly, so
that in the 6hort space of six months, the whole upper
part of my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the Side
and back part of myhead shortly after became gray j so
that you will not be surprised when I tell you that, upon
my return to the State of Indiana, my more caanal ac
quaintances were not so much at a loss to discover the
cause of the change in my appearance, as my more inti
mate acquaintances were to reeognlze me at all.
I at once made application to tae most skilful physi
cians in the country, but, receiving no assurance from
them that my hair could again be restored, I was forced
to become reconciled to my fate, until, fortunately, in
the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was
Tecommended to me by a druggist, as being the most
reliable Hair Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and
found to my great satisfaction that it was producing the
desired effect. Since that time I have used seven dol
lars* worth of your Restorative, and as a result, have a
rich coat of very Boft black hair, which no money can
buy.
Ab a mark of my gratitude for your labor and skill in
the production of so wonderful an article, I have recom
mended its use to many of my friends and acquaint*
ftncefl, who, I am happy t 6 inform yon, are nslng it with

were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, In the language of a late distinguished
statesman, “the conspiracy to break up thdUnion
is a fact now known to all. Armies arej being
raised, and war levied to accomplish it. Thire can
be but two sides to the controversy. Evety man
must be on the side ol the United States or against

every and all circumstances, shoulder to shoulder
will we stand together, assisting, by every metpjjn ’
our power, the duly constituted representatives of
the Government in the vigorous prosecution of the
present war, in crushing ont rebellion, and punish

We have read, with much satisfaction, this brief
and eloquent discourse. It gives, in well-chcsenlan
guage, a just portraiture of one whose purity of lifo
and Christian zeal had made him a shining light in
this diocese, and whose rare modesty was hardly
less remarkable than his merit. It strikes us that
the reverend preacher has avoided the fault most
common in such discourses, which, by over-oolor
ing, distorts or obscures the features intended to
represent the true image of the deceased. Here
every lineament is neatly sketched, nothing is over
charged, but all is clear, well defined, consistent,
and drawn with a firm though friendly hand. Any
one who bad the privilege of hearing the late
bishop, in his own parish, will recognize the pro
priety of the following passage: “Itwasjiis de
light to share your joy and to divide your sorrow.
A kinder and more faithful phstor you will never
have: nor can yon ever hope to enjoy the Ministry
of a sounder, more eloquent, and zoalous pteacher.
The whole of his teaching was direoted to your
truest and best interests. His sermons were strong
and forcible expositions of Gospel truth, steeped in
the love of Christ, couched in beautiful language,
and striking in the direotness of their appeal.
They riveted tho attention, informed the under,
standing, and touched the hearts of his auditory.
But the power and influence of his preaching lay
in the knowledge of his parishioners, that he be
lieved and practised what he taught, that his own
pure and godly life was the living commentary of
his sermohS. HiS singular guilelessness, his great
self-denial, bis touching humility, his large-hearted
charity, and his boundless benevolence, made bim
a living epistle, known and read of ail who saw
him.”

Colonel BaHier’s Regiment.
This noble regiment having been aocepted by the
Government, is now nearly full, and encamped at
Camp Ballier, a Jittle above Girard College. Wo
observe that a great many of the three-months men
are returning in this regiment. Among them may
he seen seme of those daring Germans who were the
first to drive tho Secessionists out of Martinsburg,
and then to march through the town to the tune of
Hail Columbia, Ac.; and also among them is a large
number of those brave Irish Manayunkers, who,
while leading the “forlorn hope,” fired into a body
of Secession cavalry, who fled, leaving some of their
men on the Held, and also a large fat bullock,
skinned and already for the coals. And should
those “Seceßhers” again meet the terrible Irish
and German compound of this regimen?, it will be
a compound of iron and steel in their teeth. The
oflicers of thi~ regiment are all men of military
experience, and, as for tho Colonel, those who are
acquainted with him know that he is a whole
hearted Union man, a man of military tact, and a
soldier, every inch of him. Doubtless, young men
desirous of serving their country! will not he dis
appointed in entering this regiment.

Governor Andrew’s Opinion of Traitpr?,
Vi e make thß following extract from tho speech
of Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, delivered
at Park Barracks, Now York, on Thursday after
noon, the occasion being a complimentary reception
dinner to the Twentieth Regiment of the Old Bay
Staff? ;
lui.- id uui u n ur lur mtm uluuc, iui country uiuue ;
it is a war for humanity, nnd for God. To us was
entrusted this work of political salvation, demo
orntic-repubHcnn liberty, served under constitu
tional forms. By our fathers, to us, was it trans
mitted. Into our own present has it been placed,
to be transmitted to our posterity. A dem»cr»l!o
republlcan liberty is the political gospel of our
time. To us, of the United States of America, the
people of this constitutional Federal Union, was it
committed, this precious charge.
If they who nave attempted to overthrow the
national Constitution, which was their interest as
well ns ours, to destroy their AtawiCiia liberty as
well do ours, to overthrow the hopes of their pos
terity ns welt as ours, to destroy civil society-,
social life, in their own midst, shall find that
their peculiar patriarchal institution, staggering,
shnil fall beneath their own parricidal blow;
[cheers;] whether they count it a misfortune.or
not, it will be their own chickens coming home
to their own roost—their own fault. If it shall
follow, in the good providence of God, that other
men beside those of my own peculiar complexion
and blood shall taste the sweets of liberty, God
be praised ! I am glad that this is not heresy in
the eomnfereial metropolis. I suppose that al
though we ought not, if peace had been presorved,
either to invade, or counsel, or .procure the inva
sion of any constitutional right reserved to any
State; yet when a State and people trample the
Constitution itself beneath their feet, endeavoring
to Crush us and our children with it, wo may at
least have the power, the privilege of praying for
the happiness of them all, bond as well as free. I
look, Mr. Chairman, with the assurance of confi
dent faith for an early restoration of universal
peace. I have no idea, not the slightest, that the
next Fourth of July will find this people in arms.
But If it must bo that we shall continuo to ponr out
our money and our blood, to . spend our lives in
waging by any form of contest this unholy war, let
it come, let it abide, let it stay with us, let the
sword be the constant emblem glittering before our
eyes, let the flag advance and armed men tread
beneath its folds.”
The Railroad Catastrophe in Missouri.
SEVENTEEN KILLED—MANV WOUNDED,
The St. Louis R.cpyblican of Friday has the fol
lowing additional particulars of the terrible disaster
nn the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad :
The catastrophe occurred at Little Platte river
bridge, nine miles east of St. Joseph. The bridge
was a substantial work of one hundred feet
span, and about thirty-five feet above the river.
The binders of the bridge had been burned under
neath the track until they would sustain but little
more than their own weight, and the fire was then
extinguished, leaving the bridge, a mere shell. The
train, bringing from eighty-five to one hundred
passengers, including many women and children,
leached the river at eleven o'clock at night, and
the bridge looking secure, passed on; but no sooner
hndthe locomotive measured its length upon the
bridge than some forty or fifty yards of the struc
ture gave way, precipitating the entire train into
the abyss below. All the seats in the passenger
coaches were torn, and shoved in front, carrying
men, women, and children in a promiscuous heap
down the declivity, and burying them beneath the
crushed timber, or throwing them out of the cars
through the broken sides. Some were mangled by
the machinery tearing through the timbers; seve
ral ware caught between plunks pressing together
like a Tico; others were struck by parts of the roof
as it came down with mighty force; still others
were cut with pieces of glass, while wounds and
blood and agony prevailed an over the frightful
scene,'and shrieks of pain were mingled with the
cries of terror.
k In this manner the two last oars of the train went
down, pitching the passengers into the wreck, or
throwing them into the water.
Only three persons, J. IV. Parker, superintendent
of the United States Express, Mr. Mars, mail agent,
and Mr. Hager, were able to afford assistance to
the suffering, the remainder of those who were not
killed outright being so disabled as to be helpless.
After doing all that was possible for these repairing
immediate attention, Mr. Hager at midnight loft
the wreck to go to St. Joseph for medical and other
assistance. He walked five miles of the way, when
he found a hand-car upon which he proceeded the
remainder of the journey. Two hundred yards
west of the bridge he discovered a heavy oak rail
road tic Strongly strapped across the track, end two
miles farther on he found the trestle work over a
small stream on fire, which, however, had not -a3
yet been so badly bunted that trains conld not pass
over.or could not be easily extinguished.
Arriving at St. Joseph the alarm was soon spread
throughout the city, and although it was 1 o’clock
at night, seventy-five men, including all the physi-
CiAns in the neighborhood, volunteered their ser
vices, and at half.past 3 o’clock a train folly equip
pedt, supplied with medical stores and other neces
saries, was at the scene of thedisaster.
The wounded had emerged, from the wreck,
and were lying on the banks and upon a sand
bar in the river. Seventeen dead bodies were
recovered, and it is believed that this, number
embraced all who were killed up to tbflt tUSO,
Two were so badly mangled that it was not ex
pected they woald survive, till .morning, while
many others, were dangerously wounded, and would
have tb be'well taken care of to'recover. Many
who will escape , with their lives will be <maimed
and. crippled. \
Fifteen ndtes east of tho Flatic riTer, Mr. Hager

from'the east.

ment, killed, and Mr. Lounsberry and Sidney Clark,
wounded, are the only additional names we have at
present. • -
The Late TTm. Lyon Mackenzie The
Albany Evening Journal contains some Interest
ing reminiscences of Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, written
by Mr. 'Weed. A few days before his death Mr.
Mackenzie wrote a curious letter, to which Mr.
Weed refers as follows :
“ He spoke of his undying hatred of the British
Government. This ‘ ruling passion’ WftS ‘ strong in
death.* His last days and nours were given to a
long, able, labored letter, bearing the dates of 18th,
20th and 24th of August, 1861, fortified and en
forced by extracts from Canadian and English
journals, parliamentary speeches and reports, all
designed to prove that England intends and is pre
paring to take advantage of this rebellion to avenge
that of 1776, and other smouldering griefs. His
are various, strong, and startling, This let
ter, extending over a dozen sheets, would have
taxed the energies, mental and physical, of a well
man. It is in his own hand, and was completed
only four days before his death. Much of it is
only for our eye, and for the information of those
to whom he supposed it would be shown. After
presenting his argument and evidence, he says:
'* Is there not some one in the Republic who can
exhibit, in a half column, the grasping piracy
which has sacrificed half of God’s white creatures
to that calico and. toy-trading isle, which claims the
prostration of all competitors—which virtually says
to the United States, your manufactures, your
shipping, your progress must cease, because it in
terferes with our divine right of domination oyer
the kingdoms of the earth?”
A Challenge and a Reply.
September 2d, 1861.
George D. Prentice —Sir: I am informed bv
my friend, Mr. Thomas, that you, in reply to his
inquiry mode at my instance, avowed yourself the
writer of an editorial in the Journal ot the 234
Angnst, and also one of a previous date, both de
nunciatory of myself. Those articles are false and
slanderous, and were written without the least
provocation on my part, or the slightest justifies
tion or excuse upon yours. I demand redress, and
ask that you will appoint some time, and place out
side of Jefferson county, when and where it wiirhe
given. This note will be banded to you by my
friend Mr. George Thomas, who, as such, is author
ized to act for me.
Respectfully, Roger W. Hanson.
George D. Prentice.
Roger W. Hanson —Sir: Tours of the 2d inst.
is received. You sought “redress” for the very
articles yeu complain of by publishing a scurrilous
pamphlet, and if you “ demand” any more “ re
dress,” you may get it in the same way or in any
other way you can. I shall not appoint a “ time
and place” for meeting you, for I would not go
two steps to meet or avoid you. As for killing you,
I think that I have done that effectually already,
and I don't core to waste powder and lead upon a
carcass. They can be put to better use in these
rebellious times. Respectfully,
Geo. D. Prentice.
Important from Mexico.—The correspond
ent of the Hew Orleans Crescent, writing from
Matanwros, August sth, says:
The most important news I have to communicate
to-day is the quasi declaration of war against the
Southern Confederacy by the republic of Mexico.
It is directly notified to us, through the State paper
at Guanajuato, (hat Mr. Corwin Gas asked, and re
ceived, from the Mexican Government the privilege
of passing troops ttoougb Mssied fs? tim suhiuem.
tion of the South. That is the language of the
Guanajuato paper, and you o&n determine the mean
ing of it as well as I can myself. Old Abe hasfull
permission to march troops through Mexico to at
tack Texas. It is considered doubtful with the
Mexican authorities and the people generally that
the above paragraph is correct; but I must con
fess that I place every reliance in its truth. The
permission thus obtained, of marching troops
through Mexico to our attack, was a part of Gen.
Scott’s programme; it was a part of Mr. dor
win’s mission; it was a great diplomatic move
ment. It is not hard to believe that the
Tulers at the city of Mexico, who hate your people
as they do the devil, should take tkis step, which is
actually a quasi declaration of war against you.
They at ease declare theirsywpathy ana co-opera
tion with the North against the South; and, while
the permission which Mexico has granted is alto
gether worthless, for no Federal forces will ever
maroh through this country, it has the moral and
political effeot of placing the Confederate States in
a position of hostility with Mexico, unless the South
has lost her self-respect.
Shocking Accident. —Charles Groesbeck,
residing in Valparaiso, Indiana, with a party of
young men, was amusing himself firing an old can
non, about two weeks since. -Hot having any swab,
he put his mouth over the fuse,' to blow out the fire,
at the very moment when another of the party
rammed in a cartridge, which exploded, and dis
charged through the fuse, throwing toe whole
charge into Mr. G.’s throat, nostrils, and lungs.
He lingered five days, in the most dreadful agony,
being unable to eat anything, or even swallow a
drop of water.

of Kentucky have indicated a steadfast desire and
purpose to maintain n position of strict neutrality
between the belligerent parties.” In the same
communication you express vour desire to elicit
“nn authoritative assurance that the Government
of the Confederate States will continue to respect
and observe the neutral position of Kentucky.’’
In reply to this request, I lose no time in nssuring
you that the Government of the Confederate States
of America neither intends nor desires to disturb
the neutrality of Kentucky. The assemblage of
troops in Tennessee, to which you refer, had no
other object than to repel the lawless invasion of
that State by the forneg of the United State#, should
their Government seek to approach it through Ken
tucky without respect for its position of neutrality.
That such apprehensions were not groundless has
been proved by the course of that Government in
the States of Maryland nnd Missouri, and more re
cently in Kentucky itself, in which, as you inform
me, “ a military force has been enlisted and quar
tered by the United States authorities.
The Government of the Confederate States has
not only respected most scrupulously the neutrali
ty of Kentucky, but has continued to maintain the
friendly relations of trade and intercourse which it
has suspended with the people of the United States
generally.
In view of the history of the pasi, it can scarcely
be necessary to assure your Excellency that the
Government of the Confederate States will Continue
to respect the neutrality of Kentucky so long as
her people will maintain it themselves.
But neutrality, to be entitled to respect, must be
strictly maintained between both parties; or if the
door be opened on the one side for the aggressions
of one of the belligerent parties upon the other, it
ought not to be shut to the assailed when they seek
to enter it for purposes of self-defence.
I do not, however, for a moment believe that
your gallant State will suffer its soil to be used for
the purpose of giving an advantage to those who
violate its neutrality and disregard its rights over
others who respect them both.
In conclusion, I Under to your Excellency tho
assurance of my high consideration and regard.
And am, sir, very respectfully, yours, Ac.,
Jeff’n Davis.
FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Wayne Court House is the county town of Wayne
county, lying on the Kentucky line, and had been
a nest for the Secessionists for some time back.
On Saturday the 25th nit., Captain Smith, with
53 U. S. troops took possession of the place. Eight
Secessionists were taken prisoners, includinga Rev.
John C. Johnson.
Capt. Smith sent for reinforcements on Sunday.
Major Onnstead, with Captain McFadden’s compa
ny, and a part of Capt. Kirk’s, with a portion of
the cavalry, numbering iu all 5S men, went up as a
reinforcement, arriving on Monday. Scouts were
then sent out, and encountered the rebels about a
mile from the Court House. Our cavalry heard
the firing, and went to their assistance. When the
rebels saw the cavalry they made a quick retreat.
In the skirmish winch took place our troops re
ceived no injury, four rebels are supposed to he
Killed; wounded not Known.
On Tuesday morning the rebels renewed the at
tack, and kept it up until 5 o’clock in the evening,
when they endeavored to retake the town. Our
men. however, returned their fire so thick and fast
that they were repulsed. In their retreat they en
countered Lieut. Col. Calvin, who was advancing
with supplies from Camp Pirn-point, and were again
repulsed.
YANKEE INVASION
The Pierce county, (Ga.) correspondent of the
Savannah News appears to be of a genial tempera
ment. He says:
“As the prospects seem pretty bright for one of
Abraham’s < Grand Armieg’ to land on our coast
the first white frost, your correspondent is pre
paring to have some fun. lam raising and train
ing dogs to run the devils down with when we get
them on a stampede (Manassas fashion) through the
Okefenokee Swamp. That they can outrun the
fleetest of our wild beasts, has been sufficiently
proven,' but if they con get away from the hennas
that will be ready for them, through this country,
they must run faster and longer than our foxes and
deer.
“ It would he advisable for Mr. Lincoln to select
his men that are to attack onr coast. Send none,
Mr. L.,but those blue-bellied, long-legged fellows,
such as we have often seen down South peddling
maps, steel pens, Ac., Ac. That style ef Yankee
that- we can hold up before our eyes to look through
at the sun’s eclipse, and count every grain of rice
he eats for his dinner.”
■THE 4EOBGIA TROOPS.
The Richmond correspondent of the Savannah
Republican writes the following:
“Gen. Toombs has not vet earn to Manassas,
Owing to the difficulty in sending forward the regl
meiits that will compose his brigade.
- “ Gen. Toombs’ staff has been organized, as fol
lows : Aid-de-Camp, Capt. TV.' Dußoise; Brigade
Commissary, Maj. R. J. Moses; Brigade Quarter
master, Major IV. F. Alexander; Adjutant, Capt.
——. Hill. He has accepted [tie services also of
one or more volunteer aids.
“It is thought that the Seventh and Eighth
Georgia regiments, and Colonels Goulding’s and
Anderson’s regiments will be placed under Gen.
Walker, though this is not certain. ”
MORTALITY AT MANASSAS.
The correspondent of. the Charleston Courier
writes ffom Manassas as Mows; .
“ Disease is by long odds too common and too
fata] in onr camps. Thus fax, as I have in other
letters remarked, the health of our regiment has
been extraordinarily good. Rat as much cannot
be said for any other in the service. A painful
degree of mortality has prevailed, especially among
the troops from North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi. On Sunday I visited the ‘ Junc
tion ’ to procure a coffin, and found thirteen orders
ahead of me.”
TUB MAYOR OF MEMPHIS ATTEMPTS A PROCLA-
The Argus, of the 24th ult., publishes the follow
ing proclamation from the mayor:
To the Citizens of Memphis: Applications
have repeatedly been made to me, as executive
officer of the city, for protection against indiscreet
parties, who are sent out to impress citizens into
service against their will on steamboats. Many of
these men have been dragged from their beds,
wives, and children, but never has there been a
man taken who had on a clean shirt. I hereby
notify any citizen who may wish a pass, within the
city of Memphis, to oall on me, and I will furnish
the same, and wtii see he will be protected. One
poor man being shot yesterday by one of these out
laws, as they may be called, causes me to give the
above notice John Pare, Mayor.

The Memphis Appeal publishes the following ex
tract from a St. Louis letter, prefacing it with an
expression of incredulity:
“ General Fremont is moving heaven and earth.
Troops are pouring into the city from all directions,
and the calculation is that there will be from fifty
to one hundred thousand, troops here in ten days.
Fremont has had fifty heavy gnus sent here from

WAR NEWS.
REBEL MUTINY ON A PASSENGER SHIP.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser of
the 7th inst-, we take the following strange narra
tive :
The ship Resolute, Capt. Thomas F. Freeman,
arrived this morning from Liverpool, with the
whole crew in a state of mutiny.
The crew of the Resolute left New Orleans some
months ago to avoid being drafted in that city.
They came to Liverpool la a Southern ship and then
left her. When their means were exhausted they
shipped on board the Resolute, with the determi
nation, it is alleged, of either capturing the ship
themselves, or in the event of falling in with a pri
vateer to take such measures as would result in
the ship failing into the hands of the pirates-
They kept their plans secret until they well
at sea, and then began to openly avow their sym
pathy with Secession. Every day their conduct
become more and more threatening, until at last
they made their boasts that they would take the
ship when they thought proper. Captain Freeman
became alarmed for the safety of his vessel and
made preparations to resist them should they at
tempt t* wie tke skip. The fUmtfHltM i»-
fonned of the condition of affairs, and to a man
resolved to stand by the captain and officers of the
ship.
The Resolute came into the lower hay last night,
anchored, and came up from her anchorage this
morning with colors half-mast and union down.
Shorfly after her anchor was let go Sergeant Hol
land, of the Harbor police, boarded her, and found
the entire crew turned into their berths, refusing
even to furl the sails, lie immediately obtained
the facts from the captain, as above stated, and
then ordered the would be-pirates to get up and
dress themselves as quickly as possible, and prepare
to go on shore.
The fellows seemed quite subdued when they
found that they were in the hands of the authori
ties, but complied with the orders.
Most of them are young men, but they bear the
impress of crime and debauchery upon their countej
nances. '
They were then ironed and conveyod to the
United States Marshal’s office, to be examined be
fore a United States commissioner.
DAN MCE ON THE WAR
The Girard (Pa.) Union issues an extra with a
full account of a Union mass meeting held in that
place. Among the speakers was Dan Rico, the
famous showman, who said, ajnong other equally
good things: “I am not a Republican, aor ami
a Democrat, though it iB well known to most of you,
perhaps, that I am a disciple of the principles and
docrincs enunciated by Mr. Douglas, and now
being faithfully carried out by Mr. Lincoln and his
Administration. But when I saw that a small
party of politicians, who have managed to control
the Administration of this Government for over
thirty years, were on the eve of destroying one of
the noblest fabrics ever constructed by the genius of
man, and fast merging our peaceful country into
the horrors of civil war, I thought it my duty as a

GENERAL BUTLER’S ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OP
LOWKLT.
At the public meeting, called at Lowell, Thurs
day evening, to welcome back home Gen. Butler,
that distinguished gentleman, after remarking that
the people of his native town had been foremost to
respond to the call of duty and of loyalty, con
tinued ;
Vpu say well, sir, there are no parties. Wjs.huve
a country torn at the present hour by intestine war,
and until that country is put in peace, in quiet,
there must be no party, and no thought of party.
No compromise, [applause.] no yielding, nothing
but the strong arm, until the glorious flag of the
Union floats over every inch of territory which be
longs to the United States of America. [Loud
cheers and applnuse.]
For one, I trust that there may be no attempt at
peace, and after remaining a few days here, I am
ready to return to my duty, and never return to
Lowell until the last time, or until the work is
accomplished. We must have peace, but a peace
in which the power of the Government is acknow
ledged ; It must be a peace which secures (t)C con
stitutional rights of all men under the Federal
Government, and no other government. [Loud
applause.] With my fellow-soldiers, whom X have
left for the hour, there is no other feeling, and we
have heard with pain and regret that there was any
other feeling cherished even by a few. Why, sir,
let us make a peace for the hour, and it would not
be sixty days before we would be involved in war
again, if the result of that peace was the separation
of this Union into two confederacies. We must
have the whole of this country under one govern
ment, or else no government at all. [Applause.]
There is no middle ground. We must pour out
blood and treasure—the first liko water, the last
like sand—until that is accomplished. If you have
no country, what have you left? Nothing! We
should be base to give up the rich inheritance be
queathed to us by our fathers, and leave to our
children only a broken and ruined country.

THE MONEY MARKET.
Philadelphia, Sept. 7, 1851,
The stock market continues very quiet. The
speculative market is firmer, but ft.s investment
m.-cui'Uic.- dull. The niui eluent ol aci oral moneyed
corporations and of private holders to change their
investments in State and City loans into tho new
National loan tends to overload the market with
those securities and depress prices. The improved
feeling in business circles is confined, in its effects
at the stock board, to speculative stocks and bonds,
which are strong and tending to better prices.

The New York Evening Post says, concerning
stocks and money in that city to-day:
The stock mnrket is rather lower to*day, tho ex
treme prices of last evening not being maintained.
There is a general disposition to realize the profits
of the rise, and the Western stocks, which have ad
vanced most rapidly, are jal per cent, lower. Th»
street is free of exoiting rumors, though further de
velopments on the Potomac are awaited with soma
anxiety.
The market for United States stocks is firm,
though the highest prices of the dny are not sus
tained at the close. The Coupon Sixes of 1881 are
90a904, the Registered 89iaS9£. The Fives of 1865
sold at 37i and the Coupon Fives of 1874 at 793030.
There is a good inquiry for the six per cent.
Treasury notes at 983. All the buyers at this
figure were supplied at the close. Small lots have
been sold at 98}aP9.
The Southern State stocks were in fair demand.
There is an advance of 15 per cent, in North Caro
linas and i in Tennessecs. MUsouris were f per
cent, weaker.
Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien stock rose 1 per
cent., selling at 17. The business of this line Is re*
ported to be very satisfactory.
The money market is without noticeable change.
The rates on call are 5aG per cent.
Exchange on London closed firm at 1077a107J
for first-class bankers’ bills. Francs are dull at
5.32ia5.40.
The Mint has done very little this week, not
much over half the coinage of last week. The re
ceipts at the new office one day were $900,060, hut
the remainder of ttyc week only small lots have
been sent over.
The American Bank-Note Company are making
every effort to push formard the 7.30 Treasury
notes- On Monday $450,000 will be sent to Wash
ington, and every succeeding day the company ex
pects to increase the quantity. They commence
with the smallest denominations, $300,000 of (he
first instalment being in $lOO, and $150,000 in $5O.
There is no unusual excitement at the Sub-Trea
sury to-day. The subscriptions are numerous, but
in small amounts. As the agencies multiply the
less pressure there i 3 at the Government office. Mr.
Chase proposes to hare fire hundred agencies, ia
various ports of the loyal States. The sales of th--
