NEWS The den atchaq front G et Brat Mc'Notion's twiny are dated up to Thurrday efterneen, at whieh time our t dratted f.o coy %rare within five miles of the rebel capital. Gentnal McClellan was at New Bridge, and was diltently proptring for an itt t irk. It was rumored in clamp that the rebels had pr.tptseci ac armistice of ten days. bat it wee de .olintai by our mann:mien Two eitiseus of Pe tershug, who fl , :tti from thnt City, have come into Wool's camp at. Fortress Monroe, end report that, ti e prOple in the vicinity from whence they Came are In the most deplorable condition; being sadly in wont of the neccamrica of life. The work of conscription is still going Os, and the roads to Riehinond were fairly thronged by old and young, men being driven along under strong armed guards. - General Beauregard had arrived in Richmond. and immediately oomineneed tuaking areeehes to the soldiers. jell' Davii has declared his intention to fight to the death before Richmond, and it was believed that he had 2110.000 men under him. The troops from the Gulf States threaten that, if they have to evacuate Riahatond, they will lay it in toles. All accounts from General lialleole's army agree that that able sad accomplished general does not design taking Corinth by rushing his men right in the face of the rebel bat'eries. Instead of doing this, be is slowly approaching the, stronghold, and fortifying his position as he advances; and, also building roads over miry grounds and swamps, in or der to facilitate the movement of mops and heavy siege guns. All the thoroughfitrw of the rebels, except the railroad to Memphis have Muni oat off.- It is conjectured that the plan of General Llalleolt is to starve the men y out t,f their outrenulankmts. Food and forego are already roarer in the rebel camps, the Inglebaying, tor two. or three weeks past, been on half rations, And they of the coarsest qua lity. Meantime, tieneral Eiatleuk is reported to have said that he ,Sontidently expects to take Corinth without losing over oue hundred and fifty The correspondent of the New York Post, with General Banks corps, says that that general; having driven the rebels out of the Shenandoah Valley, is how about to retire to Strasburg, throve up fortid. cations and spend the summer there. The plan of operations agreed upon by the War Department is this: Gen, Bbh.dds, with his division, is to cross the mountain and join Gen. iWeDo well, while Gon. Banks holds the valley, and. protects the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This, it is said, is done by ex press orders of the War Department, as a plan of the campaign, The probabilities are that Gen. Curtis' army is now in possenion of Little Rook, the capital of Arkansas. Gen. Balleck, on the I.7th iustant, had received adviccs that our army had reached Scarcey, about forty-five miles from the capital, and were rapidly marching on. Little Rook is situated on a commanding bluff, a little below the centre of Arkansas, and is a place of considera ble importme, having a considerable traffic with the principal towns on the Itrkhnsus and lower Mississippi river. Its population at the breaking out of the war was 4,000, and, a large number of these ale known to be Union people. A Uni ted Stales arsenal is situated here, and, if it should not be destroyed by the rebels be fore our forces reauh it, no doubt Gen. Curtis will repossess it, and make it help to crush out the re bellion by furniehlog the implotnents of war. Congress; Yesterday SENATE.—A- resolution to appoint a eouttnithae to inquire what further legislation is neoessary to protect people of color—partioularly in the District of Columbia—waspassed, as was also a bill proSdiling that staff offirers must ba confirmed.

(„4,lpits,fat: - _Jballarig4hetaftr - refilfififhot at railway. sta tions to gain five minutes in a day's journey; that they were a grasping, selfish sot of peo ple, whose only conception of the grandeur of Niagara lay in a shrewd calculation of its water-power value ; that they were a lot of re morseless Gradgrinds, whose souls could be moved by an imposing array of statistics, but never by sublime philanthropy, or the beauti ful in nature. It was wondertuf, Great Biw a thought, that wo could ever turn so far aside from our dull nature of matter-of-fact as to appreciate the romance of pugilism, and gitie to the world a UEENAN I We were caricatured and satirizrd abroad. Gott mien like DICK ENS thought it worthy their genius to make a tour through the United .hates for the sole, especial purpose of gleaning up our salient characteristics and follies, anti printing them in exaggerated books, that were thought by their readers to be much less apocryphal than many chapters of the Bible, and at any rate worthy of credence, whether true or not. We were sneered .at and ridiculed for being:fn.. tensely practical, solf-concelted, and tobacco spitting; for carrying our heels as high as our bend, and putting intellect ever under the ban of our disfavor. The war in which we are now engaged, and which, in the moat practical manner, we have almost completed, has vindicated our charac ter before the world from these ass tutus. It has shown that all our energies are not en grossed in tie mad chase for fortune and am bition. We have thrown aside self Interest in this war for the Union, al' utterly as any peo ple ever did. To the destruction of our com merce, the prostration of our manufhatures, and the depreciation of our property, we have submitted cheerfully, that the dissolution of the Government might be prevented. We have borne taxation, and must bear still greater burdens of taxation, that the rt- o bellion might be put down. We came forward and loaned the Government millions of dollars, when the prospect of its restoration was far lass auspi alone than now, and not for the seven and thiee•teltbe per cent. interest, but for the IR terest of our fellow-men, and our common country. Js there anything in all this to indi cate a religious veneration of the "Almighty Dollar?" Or, have we not rather evinced as warm a patriotism as did the heroes of the Revolution? Have not our thousands of braves been slain, and have not onr mothers dried their tears? Can we notpoint, hi every :Slate of the Union, to the mounds that mark the resting places oft our Union soldiers—soldiers left . to die of their wounds in deserted hospi tale, starved to death in rebel dungeons, assas sinated while on picket, or killed off by the malaria of Southern latitudes 1 And these men, who have given their lives to their coun try and the cause of freedom, are sneered at as dollar-worshippers! We have never denied that we are an utili tarian people; but so is nature utilitarian, and science too, and even religion in the' highest: sense. No flower b!ooms without a holy pur pose; no blade of grass on all our beuudloss prairies but has a heaven.born mission. We find no aimless passage in the Book of Life, no truth that has not an ennobling value. This is utilitarianism—our great national characteris tic. It is this which, in less than a century, balm made us, if not the greatest nation of the earth, at least ono which greater Powers have learned to look upon with jealousy and formal • respect. It is this virtue which has made America the chief patron of science and the arts, covered her territory with such a diagram of railroads and canals, that of themselves they would make a very respectable map of the Union. We Hee 'the utilitarian spirit in our beneficent system of common schools .(but not necessarily in our Board of School -Controllers), as well as in our innumerable coils gee, pubic libraries, and institutions of learning generally. We see tbis spirit develop ing itself year after year, and are proud of its unfettered growth. We have no tear that it can ever eo far materialize ns as to make us the "stocks, and stones," the "worse than senseless things" that any one might suppose we were from a pt TUAaI of cc Martin Chuzzle wit" ei id omne genus. If we grow more utili tarian and less rastoral since the days of '76, we have cause to bo grateful to the Ruler of all nations thit we have not outgrown the patri- otic intrm'as of our youth, and an appreciate, ae t.mr fatM.rs did, the inestimable bkssingi and advantages bound up in thu Federal Con stitution. • The war has not. only vindicated us from the assault of British ridicule and satire, awl from the accusation of grovelling 'tiordidness; , but - , has shown covelusively, to impartial - that the case stands directly oppiisite. - . l an d, the philanthropic, humane, anti•slavery nation—the nation that, like Harold. Skimpole, never took an account of money, and never .knew ire use or value--the nation, that so far from being sordid was ; always in debt, and scarcely 'ever could satisfy 'bur creditors with even the interest on their , claims ; this mag l i - nanimous, beef-eating nation, is suffering in pocket. ilium our Sembern rebellion. She is douched to • :be quick, and' suddenly' grOws practical. Her cotton-spinners and factors find that their only choice is 'between starva tion- and "the almighty dollar"--and that dollar they must have. True, they have plighted their fiiith to preserve a neutral positinn in this war, but the plight-wit's given at a dine when, they imagined it could affect them but little in a vital and pecuniary way. Their journals Clamor for intervention now, for they see,•in- the prolongation of the war, noting, hut the prospect of popular outbreaks, bread riots, and starvation, in every portion of the United Kingdom. Could anything show more clear:y the hypocrisy of Bull, or do we need any other testimony th in his own atti tudes during the present war to cenvict him of being the true dollar-worshipper? We have no fear', of foreign intervention. The news of the capture of New Orleans and Yorktown, which has reached England ere this, will end such idle talk. Undoubtedly, our British friends have the disposition to give us trouble if they could.. The Trent alit& b3re ample evidence of this fact. But if we feared not their iuternieddling then, we have still less cause to tbar it no w. Since that occurrence, we hare destroyed. the English navy. According to the Times' confession, it now consists of but two fighting vessels I, So Much for this prating of intervention. .li s only saline is - to show us the danger of pre. .tended friendship, and proclaimed neutrality. Thus, the war is teaching us an infinite avid invaluable experience, and uniting us in the heeds of a common cause, to be maintained everywhere against the enemies of the Union. Not content with itsviridicaticin of our racier, we. must take its,teaeltitigs calmly, and like a ulilitarian people, turn them to good account. In our “War for the Union," We may then Irope to see a blessing- we haVe earned, and not a retribution we have suf fered. - MEN iiTAr assemble to weep, - over the decay of things approved by custom, and protest against the removal of shrines hallowed by use ; but the devastating hand of time and ne cessity will not be stayed therefor. In spite of tears and protests, that which has served the race in its time, but is no longer needed, will mumble away and diz4appear forever. T. lament over, and seek To stay,. these ever-re curring changes, is as idle and unphilosophical as it would be to lament, and essay to repeal, the laws of decay as operative upon our bodies and all material things. For the laws of ehauge, of very kind, are alike. arbitrary and benefi cent. This is not to say that there is no place or-, function for a conservative element in associa tions of men - for social and political purposes.. There is such an element or principle which operates to protect all living organisms against de.struction by undue waste or vio lence. Mit it cannot interfere with the law of natural waste and wear. That which has served its purposes dies and disappears. So of social and political organizations; there is a conservative element corresponding, in func tion, to that which operates in- the realm of animal life. It manifests itself in many ways. We can see it especially.in that eclectic spirit which sees good in all the ages, and nesirea to shake it clear from the false and bad, and in lime the aggregated • mass into the present. We also see it iu the common desire to get rid of evil by easy gradations, as in compro mise ; and likewise in the deep and widespread veneration for constitutions and laws which lf utitotftr_raeL `generation. In tru -' " "— th, thegr f e r ilt , the equilibria of the universe, ems,--..aer-at rection, is the great conservator of all consti tuent organizations and forces. - 13 - lit, - as - ninii - have misspent lives and fahu - lons riches in search cS,t) - gt, cadtraufir - soma .filLiiihY'rd perpetuate every wise and every foolish thing which has figured in human an nals. And as the skilful magicians of anti quity failed to distil a liquid which could im mortalize the body, or to discover the Spring whose waters could confer eternal youth, so bare the efforts of like social and political (lectors to preserve customs, and laws and organizations from the devastating figura of time and change, proved utterly vain. A great and controlling party, ptafessing ciinservmism as its creed, motive, and end, hair never existed in any age which lives iu record. To argue that such a party can never exist may not be•necessary. It is equally true that no party professing ultraism as its creed, motive, and end, has ever gained a permanent control of human affairs; nor can such a party gain control with permanency. The Democratic party, by far the strongest and most successful that has figured in our history, was both radi cal and conservative iu the beginning, and for a long period of its existence. This was the secret of its strength and success. The equi librial principle, so to speak, thoroughly per meated its organization, as the life principle permeates the body of a lusty man. As an or ' ganization it is no more. Its death was sui cidal and fratricidal. It entered upon a career of dissipation, and was driven awreck by the mad ambition of a few of its leaders. If it ever experiences a resurrection, it will appear in the garments it wore years ago, and not in the robes of a pure conservatism. The efforts of the men who stand by its grave and cry "Lazarus, come forth I" are as ill-jadged as tinphilosophical. The party would not know itself, nor would it be recognized by its friends, in the guise these resurrectionists would put upon It. Of old, it was the party of progress and human amelioration. Its purposes were lofty and grand. Its measures were broad and comprehensive. It was the very essence of life and motion. It never stood still. It never proposed to stand still; and when it ceased to go forward it went backward. Until now, no leading spirit in it preiumed to declare that its great'virtue and saving influence was inertia. We rejoice that its resuscitation under such auspices is impossible. A FEW MONTHS ago the streets of this city wore a gala-day appearance. Military heroes, broad shouldered, and wearing fierce side whirkers; lounged around our theatres and hotels, or promenaded Chestnut erect with stately treed, and steps in unison. They were bright, fresh-looking creatures, just from their tailors' bands, and the policemen did not care to interfere with their amusement, although s me of them 'were known to come within the province of the law, and to be justly entitled to the highest consideration at the hands of a jury of their peers. But these gentry have pretty well disappeared from our thorough fares of late. tc We miss them at the even tide." But, inet-•ad, we meet the soldiers who have done our fighting. They are wounded, lame, maimed for life, perhaps, and we cannot Withhold the sympathy which their suffering evokes. We see not the handsomely-dressed Nolunteers, who left us by thousands scarcely a year ago. We meet very few of the gay Zouave uniforms, that were wont to charm our eye. But we meet tired, jaded soldiers, - their garments soiled and: dusty with long marching and poor shelter, and their features sun-browned with a Southern campaign, that with all its hardships had no terrors fOr their noble souls. These are the men that must be pensioned and well cared for by the country, for which they have sacrificed everything but life. Their reward must be no stinted one. VAN Aannacu & Co.'s MILIZAGBRIII.—This ex hibition is to close to-night, as, according to ar rangements made come weeks in advance, it is to exhibit in Westchester on Monday. The manage ment propose to visit many of the principal towns in the State, and we can recommend it to our read ers in the interior as the most complete and aktrao- Sys establishment of the kind extant, and well worthy of p2tronage. No bettor proof of this need be given than the fact that the audiences in this city have constantly .increased in numbers from the opening night.

Major General Hunter, at presentthe target of the politicians, who are never content un lessthey have somebody to abuse, and who qualify their support of the cause of the coun try by exhibitions of a disposition to attack it whenever the occasion is presented—Major General Bunter is no doubt a monstrous ogre and fitnatic, but let us give him er;editl'or one thing. Be has audaciously attempted to lay his warrior band, upon the precious caS het of slavery; and for this has been greeted with the hatred of all its wor shiPpers but he has been successful. in leading thousands to approve the Presi dent's emane.ipation policy, who, when that policy warkenunciated, received it with undig gutscd horror. I complain of nobody for (hanging wrong for right opinion's. There are few'sights more agreeable.. In the joy Yhai has'heene:ceited by the Presicleuacorrection of Bunter's proclamation, - among the spit l'athizers of the Secession school, his' great plan of emancipation it generally ac . ceptcd as vise, well timed, and practical. In the Bottler States this feeling haS become powerful. General Bunter can, at any rate, console himself that if he bait not liberated the slaves of his military district, he has indiroetly enabled a good many oflhoso who have lately Opposed tho President's policy, to liberate theniFelves from their iinjUst and unworthy The President may congratulate himself upon the extraordinary feeling which thiS and • other circiunstanc,, , s have excited -in favor of Itis proposition of grtclual and ccrtn pettsated eteanelpation.. In the Border States the agitation is already must animated,- and thousands who denounced it at first with much vehemetice naw cordially agree to it as their last and only chance to protect themselves from the - results of Secession. Missouri and Maryland, are both moving in this direction. The slave stampede is these two 'Slates is like a contsg'on, and seems to affect every dis'riet. I have no doubt dist if the emancipation resolution recommended by the President to Congress could uw be presented, it would receive the votes of army who opposed it when it was introduced. The honest religious- senitnent of the South is rapidly arraying itself, ag.tinst slavery, and , would not be surprised if, before the expira tion of Mr. Lincoln's term, most of the Border States are mud° tree with the sanction of the people.' The address of the Democratic members of Congress-has ., been made the platform of the Breckinridgers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere, Out it is rem...flied very'coldly by S(400 of the most,. influential of the newspa pers supposed to represent that erganization. The Louisville (ICy.) lionnerat, a Douglas papt4, gives it the cold _shoulder, and the Boston Post and New York Leader regard it as . n.bsurd mid unsatisfactory.' What can the Democrats of Pennsylvania say, now that this address is put forward as their creed, in the face of these protests Can they still believe that the Democracy is the same party under whose banner they enlisted some years ago? Is i> not now apparea that their orgalla and leaders have no heart in the country's cause ? Let thoss who doubt, carefully pause and ponder the fixga ment agajnst the Congressional-Address of. Andrew Johnson's Nashville pap-ir. He knows that the attempted. resuscitation of the Democratic party is merely a resuscitation of the Breckinridge party, and so believing, does not hesitate to utter a warning voice against it. - OeoasrosaL. cc You . . CANNOT, if you would, be blind to the signs of the times," is the expressive lan guage of Mr. Ltscor.s to the people of the Slave States, in his recent Proclamation. The signs of the times are not less significant and expressive themselves. - In the final and des perate struggle between the loyal and the dis loyal, it is no longer to be concealed from even the casual observer, that slavery is to pass away and disappear forever from the ra cords of the Republic.

Here Is a characteristic extract from a letter in the London Times, purpoiling to have been written by a correspondent in Wash ington. It is bitterly abusive of General MCCLELLAN, and the abuse will be appreciated properly at this time, when General Moan- LAN is almOst within cannon range of the Con federate capital: The Merrimno has returned to Norfolk, and it Is said she has a leak. However. that may be a false report, and the dread of the Merremaa is a great impediment to all the operations of (loners' MoClellon. This poor general eonfesses now that the works of the enemy are three times stronger than he suspected., Poor man! Everything was placed at his disposition , and be had not the good sense to procure perfect knowledge of the place bo was 12oing to. Even persons who were formerly blethellan's beat friends arc doubting him now: or, at least, his talent. The President wee said, " That fellow is always speaking about his groat plans ; but I'll be —it I believe he has any at all." Mr. Stanton, I hear, is of the same opinion. The pa pers bring long accounts about the things going on before Yorktown, but I assure you they are not north repeating. I think McClellan has got there 1:21 a horralde. fi z, and witlwish. in wain "to 6a in Dixie." General John , on said that he would die of old age before McClellan cams io Rirhmond. Poor fellow ! wby had he not some experienced men about him to point out' to him a much better way 9 The. Magazines We have Harper's Magazine for June, from J. B. Lippincott & Co. From T. B. Pugh, Sixth and Chostnutstreets, we have the At/antic Monthly for Juno. It contains fifteen articles, opening with an essay on " Walh ing,".by the late Henry D. Thoreau, which will be followed by others, expressly written for this peri odical.' Miss Harriet E. Prescott contributes an account of the late Elizabeth Sheppard, author of the novel called "Charles Auehester ; " a work, by the way, which has sometimes been attributed to one of the Rothschilds. Miss Prescott also concludes her Coast story," The South Breaker." Professor Ages- Dia continues his " Methods of Study in Natural His tory," and John Weiss commences " The Horrors of St. Domingo," a painful subject. which, in fu ture numbers, will , require great delicacy of treat merit. A second article, by Mr. Weise, celled. "War and Literature," is very good. From the pen of 'Richard Frothingham is an historical mono graph, (part of his "Life and Times of Jtreph War ren,") relating to the Sam Adams Regiments, in the town of Boston, in the autumn 0f1768. " The Health of our Girls" by T. W. Higginson, in which the writer contends, in a pleasant manner, for the improvement of young female Americans by such out•of-door exercise as makes health elsewhere. "Solid operations in Virginie." by Edward Everett Bale, describes, somewhat heavily, Cornwallis's Campaign and Surrender in Virginia, during the War of Independence. A Now Orleans legend, en. titled "Pere Antoine's Date-Palm," is the best bit of prose we have yet seen from the pen of T. B. Aldrich—brief, and well told. The poetry in this. number is contributed by Alice Carey . ,.Hoso Terry, F. G. Tuekerman, and James Russell Lowell. It may be a defect in our capacity or taste, bat we are unable to see anything but absurdity, however clever the execution, in Professor Lowell's Biglow Papers. His " Sunthin' in the Pastoral Line," this month, shows ill•direeted ingenuity in mis-spelling words, even the most ordinary. There may be intense poetical feeling in writing sunthin for something; precerdents, for precedents; ef; for if; es, for as; sous, for was; evrtge, for average —but we cannot sea it. The present number closes the ninth volume. A notion on the cover tells us that, among the attrac tive articles already prepared for the July and following numben', are an interesting series of papers by the late. Theodore Winthrop, author of "John Dreut"Und "Ocoil Dreome," called "Life in the Open Air;" Mr. Dowthorne's retold of •s late Visit, to Washington and the Seat of War ; , is' new Romance, with the title .of "Mr. Axtelli?'

Zither we have the Eclectic Mega zinc for June, with a fine portrait of Prince Al bert, from a photograph taken a few weeks before his death. The literary contents. from the loading British periodicals, are selected with much tasto and judgment.

Effects of the War upon our Domestic Manufactures. In reviewing the present steins and proapocta of the leading manufacturing esteblishmente throughout the city, we find that, with the exception of jfioae is the Cotton interest, flit effect of the war has been compirn tiv.ly slight. Most of our manufacturing firms are omrating as largely as ever, and not a few of them, In. stead of suffering a depression from the war, have been more hurried during the last Mx menthe with ordure than at any former period in their history. That this eltould be the CDFO with establiniunsnts largely or exclusively engaged in manufacturing war imple mcnis wrillid not be. eurprietog, but the uoaal activi ty here refered to, is by no means cnallne I t this (USG We were eepecially struck with the tact here stated by what we caw in a visit yesterday to the warerooms of Mr. Jrionsilipear, W0...1.118 Market street. The enterprise and undainitod persaverance of Me. Spear, as an inventor, manufacturer, and merchant, are Droverhial, and if we ma) judge from tho immense pre natally:is he is already making for the fall trade, what has beet to many a yrar of trials has been to him a year of hiumpb. To a manufacturer less fortified with a conscioos superiority of his wares, Mr. Spear's groat preporations for a Nieto season might bo considered rash ; but he evidently belongs to the class who believe that to venture, intelligently, ie to win. It must not be supposed, however, that he to doing nothing for the season now. Present. The business he is driving with hie celebrated Gas-Burning (looking Raeriee and Stoves Is 'mermen!. From the orders crowding in noon him„ we sheuld suspect that about every ott7r fandly removing to the country for the summer was car rying with them one of these indispensable conveniences. When wo look back to the time when Mr. Spear had not yet 'shelled the public with his Gas-Bnrnieg Stoves and Ittwgere, we almost wonder how the people managed to get slong. without them. •Cartainly, to . dispense with them now would bo like retrograding from tbo passeuger railway cars to the old omnibue, or from the use of gas to the old•fashinned lard lamps. Virei have already told our readers that • Spear was a - public benefactor, and it will boar repeating. He fs a genius, moreover, as Is proved by the fact that almost every substantial improvement Introduced. in etoves or ranges within the lase decade hes emanated from hie brain. In a trOt d, SpS'ai is a live man, who knows how to com bine the practical with the theoretical. He hse not only the genii's to invent, but ho has the sagacity and enter prise to tuitunrscttite and sell, and makes money while his less nimble rivals look on will something like art( illehment, wondering hose he makes it pay." A few hours as. nt at' hie salesrooms almost any day in the week will reveal the whole secret, in the praises which his patrons lavish upon his Stoves and Ranges. as being the best in Use world. good housekeepers, in fact, have acquired a sort of enthusiasm for this popular hives tor. The charming manner in which those' etovos and rangers bake, broil, roast and boil, have male the name of their inventor familiar, in this community, as a oliFchold word. We may stale, in this connection, as a. matter of intelligence, that Mr. Spear bas been laboring for the lest six years to produce the Lest baking and cooking store of the age, and after succeeding in this, he turned, his attention to making the most economical Move, both as !lards the quantity of coal consumed and the amouet and exm Hence of the work accomplished in the 'shortest time. le Ibis ho has been equally successful. -In conclusion, we advise all of our readers who may require anything in the stove line to examine this epics did stock before pureltaalog. A spoeimen stove may be seen at the'roome, No. 1116 Market street, every day, in fish operation. Anxious as we are to lev before oar render', the latest intelligence, at the earliest moment, we have felt that the euhatence of this article was a matter of information for the people too important to be over looked.

There have been vague whispers in Wall street for some time past that something was wrong with the 5. per c.nt..certificatea. but it was not till to-day that the affair became generally known, in explanation of the continued westcnSes Of the stock market. The:facts of the case, so far se we can learn, are as follows: The State has an agency in New York, and up to September. 1959, when anewsystem of transfers went into operation; the transfers were very loosely conducted. The present agent of the State, we are informed, is In no way implicated. The agent is appointed by joint ballot of the Indiana Legislature, and the over-issne wee perpetrated under the appointment of the winter of 1858-59. The old cer tificates, which were surrendered at the Now York office, have been put to a surreptitious nee, by an indi.. Yidual in dote intimacy with the clerk of the agent. The mime of this clerk is Stover. The fraudulent certificates are dated previous to the closing of the books in Ju1y.1359, and have been hypoth ecated with various banks and capitalists in Wall street, and the disclosures of to-day, of course, create a good dt al of uneasiness. The over. hone was accidentally discovered some time ago,-and the Governor of the State, Dy Parties in New York, has induced, under pain of exposure, the culpable parties here to, retire about 5500,000, which, it. le soppored, includes nearly ell afloat. We ere assured by those fully tic-Inainted with the facts that the fraudulent hones are now nearly all re tired, and that a tow days will see the whole matter as stisfactorily nettled.
