Coincidences.
It is instructive to compare the tone of the.
enemies of the country in the North with, that
of our enemies in Europe anti the Southern
States. They occupy the same ground. ;
make the same objections to the RePUblie,
and use the same arguments. Thus weTfind
General. BUTLER abused in :the South as .a
beast: In England he is called the HATNAU
of our continent—in the New York World
he is.. denounced as :a robber and a scoun
drel: In the case of emancipation we hear
the, - sanie objections echoed from Richmond,
London, and Chestnut Hill. JEFFERSON
DAVIS, calls for the execution of General
MeNETithe London Times daily refers to
him as`the embodiMent of American cruelty
-the Democrats inthe North never allude
to bin but in terms of reproach:. The 'New
-York. World says, "there: are some things
better than :the Unionevery SoUthern
paperrepeats the same assertion—we read
it in every letter 'that SPENCE writes to
the London Times. This strange cbm
mitnicin of ideas is remarkable. We see the
same animating spirit in everything : our
enemies say and do. That spirit =is a
hatred Of the Union—the war -L-the Ad
ministration—the': cause. The loyal people
of the :Country should know these thhig§.
They should see this 'treason . :in its, true
light, and they should :rebuke it witli the
horror that it caimot, fail to inapire In
Enghindi hostility: to the country is: covered
by the .pretence of neutrality-in the South
by that of a 'war for independencein the
North by a strange devotion to the. ConSti
ttitiOu. : - ALet the pretence be:what:it may;
the, purpose is the same, and loyal men
should letirnto diatinguish, however hidden,
the true from the:false.
LETTER FROM ,4 OCCASIONAL.”
WAsnixerox, Jan. 19, 1863.
The last exhibition of the settled purpose
of the Democratic leaders to produce
anarchy in the free States - was the scanda
lous conduct of those who control less than
one-half of the lower branch of the Legisla
ture of New York. The readers of The
Press are familiar with the causes that pre
vented the election of a Speaker of that
branch of the Assembly of that State.
Parties being equally divided, after a num
ber of ineffectual ballotings, the Republicans
placed in nomination a War Democrat, and
the fear that he might be elected Speaker
induced his former associates to resort to a
series of manoeuvres without parallel in
legislative history. Their violence at last
indficed an adjournment until Wednesday
next. Ruffians filled the galleries during
the last efforts to elect a Speaker, inter- .
rupting the proceedings of the Assembly,
and threatening the persons of the members.
Mr. Callicott, the War Democrat, if he
does not consent to yield to the pressure of
the mob, will probably be assassinated in
cold blood. • Observe, this is the work, and
the work alone, of men calling themselves
Democrats ! The turbulence and treasona
ble declarations of the same kind of partisans
in the' Legislatures 'of Illinois, Indiana, and
New Jersey, within the last two weeks, are
in significant harmony with their revolu
tionary proceedings in New York. What
they did at Harrisburg, on 'the occasion of
the election of United States Senator, has
become a matter of disgraceful history.
They boasted that if any so-called Demo
crat should vote for a Republican, his life
would pay the forfeit. How different the
dignified . deportment of the .Republicans of
Philadelphia, where a man elected by.
Republican votes, from a Republican
.district, and by voluntary and vehe
ment protestations and denunciations
against the designs and doctrines of the De-
mocratic leaders, turned upon his own honor,
and deprived the party that put him in posi
tion of the control of an important branch
of your city legislature ! They yielded to
the event, preferring to let time cure the ca
tastrophe, and surrendering party power
rather than disturb the public peace. It is
not for me to reconcile the spirit that punishes
Party disaffection with one hand, and ap
plauds it with the other. Where are we
tending ? Are these elements to control and
crush out majorities elsewhere ? Are oui
cities to become first the hot-beds of treason
and afterwards of anarchy ? Mark well,
that they-who lead in these excesses are as
tender to the armed traitors to the Republic
as they are fierce against all who are
trying to put these traitors down. One
of the prophecies early made in these strug
gles was, that Northern cities would soon
be disfigured and desolated by great popular
collisions. Go back to the initial riot at
• Charleston, when the Democratic Conven
tion divided, early in 1860, and, when it
subsequently reassembled, broken and dis
cordant, in that Baltimore famous before,
and famous since, for the dreadful scenes in
which human blood was shed by insensate
ruffians. One fragment of this Democratic
Convention carried this demon element to
Washington, where it convulsed the Na
tional Congress, and then flew to arms to
take the life of the Republic. The other and
the larger fragment departed upon a different
mission, some, who adhered to it, taking the
path of patriotism, and others, as the result
has shown, following the example of the
bad men who are responsible for the first
outbreak .in the chief city of South Caro
lina. Remember that, whether for the early
or for the later transactions of these advo
cates of revolution and anarchy, the friends
of the present Administration cannot be
held remotely or directly responsible. Will
not the men of property, the -orderly and
decorous citizens, who toil for a livelihood,
and every Christian community, gather from
these shameless transactions a wholesome
and an instructive admonition ? When these
classes realize their own danger, we 'shall
revert to that happier condition, when the
mob was the minority, and the preservation
of the public peace the shield and buckler
of the . itcople. OcCAstoma,

Special Despatches to «The Preso.”
WASHINGTON, January 'l9, 1863,
The 'National Finance-Message of the.
President.
The following message was communicated to Con..
gress to-day :
To 11w Senate and House of Represeataires:
I have signed- the joint resolution to provide for
the immediate payment of the
,Army and Navy of
the United States, passed by the House of Repre
sentatives on the 14th, and by the Senate. on the
reth_inst. - • 1.
Thejoint resolution is a Simple authority, amount
ing, however, under existing circumstances,. to a
direction to the Secretary of the Treasury to, make
an additional issue of $100,000,000 in United States
notes, if so- much money is needed for the paiment
of the army , and navy. • .
My approval is given in order that every possible
facility may be afforded for the prompt discharge of
all arrears of pay due tO our soldiers and our sailors.
While giving this approval,.however, I think it my
duty to express my sincere regret that
.it has been
found necessary to authorize so large an additional
issue of United States notes, when their eireufation
and that of the suspended banks together have
already become so redundant as to increase' prices
beyond real value, thereby augmenting the cost
of living, -to the injury of labor, r and the cost
of supplies, to the injury of the whole country.
It seems very plain that continued issues of United
States notes, without any check to the issues of sus
pended banks, and without adequate provision for
the raising of money by loans, and for funding the
issues so. as to _keep them_within ilue limits, must
soon produce disastrous consequences; and this mat
ter appears to me so important that I avail myself
of, this occasion to'ask the special attention of Con
gress to it.
That-Congress has the power to regulate the cur
rency of the country can hardly admit of a doubt, and
that etjudicious measure to prevent_ the deteriora
tion of this currency by a reasonable taxation of
bank circulation or otherwise, .if needed, seems
equally. clear. Independently of this general consi.
deration, it would be unjust to the people at large to
exempt banks enjoying the special privilege of cir
culation, from their just proportion of the public
burdens.
In order to raise money by way of loans: most
easily and cheaply, it is clearly necessary to give
every possible support to the public credit. To that
end, a uniform currency In which taxes, subscrip
tions to, loans, and all other ordinary public dues
may be paid, is almost, if not quite, indispensable.
Such a currency can be furnished by banking associa
tions, authorized under a general act of Congress,
as suggested in my message at the beginning of
-the present session.
The securing of this circulation by the pledge of
United States bonds, as herein suggested, would
still further facilitate loans by increasing the pre
sent, and causing a future demand for such banks.
In view of the actual financial embarrassments of
the Government, and of the gres;ter embarrassment
sure to come if the necessary means of relief be not
afforded, I feel that I should not perform my duty
by a simple announcement of my approval of the
joint resolution which proposes relief only by in
creasing circulation, without expressing my, earnest
desire that measures,•such in substance as I 'hare
just referred to, may receive the early sanclion of
Congress. By such measures, in my opinion, all
payments will be most certainly secured, not only
to the army and navy, but to all honest creditors of
the Government, and satisfactory provisions made
for future demands on the treasury.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
A Disloyal Clerk.
The readers of The Press will remember that, at a
meeting at the Capitol, on the 4th of July last, at
which the President was present and made a
speech, Mr. CHITTENDEN, the Register of the
Treasury, in some remarks, alluded to the reten
tion of disloyal clerks in office, and said he had
a particular case in his eye, which he proposed
to attend to. The audience applauded his pro
position, and demanded the name of the man.
It was not given, but the Register reiterated his in
tention to attend to him promptly. The person al
luded to was T. H. MADDox, of Maryland. He
had recently been removed from the Register's Bu
reau, in the Treasury, but had immediately procured
another appointment in the War Department,
Quartermaster's Bureau, I think. The Register pro
posed to make the state of things known and pro
cure his discharge from public service altogether.
Doubtless he promptly attempted to do what he thus
publicly • promised. But if he did, he was, to
the shame of public affairs be it said, unsuccessful,
for he still remains in office. The occasion of his
original removal was disloyalty. An evidence df
his temper may be gathered from the following inci
dent: In conversation with an associate in office
concerning the transportation of mails and contra
band articles to rebeldom, he said he knew of a
channel in Eastern Maryland, through which such
business was regularly carried on. On bebig asked
why he did not expose it, he answered, "Do you su
pose I would betray my friends? No, sir; I would
suffer my right arm to be cut off first."
Immediate Payment of our Soldiers and
Sailors.
The joint resolution authorizing the issue of one
hundred millions of United States notes beeame a
law to-day, and upon learning that fact the Secre
tary of the Treasury immediately placed to the credit
of the several paymasters an aggregate amount
sufficient to pay the whole army and navy of the
United States. Fifty-three paymasters have been
supplied with funds in sums ranging from fifty thou
sand to seven millions two hundred and fifty thou
sand. This last-named amount was sent to Charles
P. Lamed, of Louisville, Ky., and three millions five
hundred and twenty thousand to N. Brown, St.
Louis, Mo.; $900,000 to D. H. McPhail at Wheeling,
and" $670;000 to San Francisco; $250,000 to Indian
apolis; $250,000 to St. Paul; $lOO,OOO to Kansas;
$200,000 to New York, and the remainder of the
$24,150,000 was furnished to the Paymaster Ge
neral.
There was also paid for the navy $386,900.
The Transmission of the Mails.
Postmaster General BLAIR, in reply to the Senate
resolution relative to the mail derangements between
this city and New York, replies, with accompanying
letters from the presidents of the several railroads
interested, that the difficulty is mainly due to the
increase of travel required by the exigencies of the
war. He says these companies are resolved upon
measures to facilitate the mails, at once remove the
defitys consequent upon a single line of track, and
greatly promote all the interests of the business
community. President GARRETT complains of the
inadequate compensation for carrying the mails.
Arrangements are progressing for making the line
continuous, which it is claimed will greatly facilitate
the prompt delivery of the mails.
More Rebel Correspondence.
Another budget of rebel letters has been Inter
cepted, They were taken from Major SANDERS,
when he was recently captured off Charleston.
Some of them are dated as far back as December,
1861, and the latest in last December. The informa
tion contained in these papers affords an interesting
inside view of rebeldom, relative to its domestic
troubles and wants. One of the letters is addressed
to a distinguished member of the family of Louis
NAPOLEON. While thanking the Emperor for
his efforts to induce the great Powers to interfere in
our affairs, he urges a continuance of his "kind
offices," with the assurance of the writer that they
will be successful in the end.
The Mrs. GILMAN alluded to in this correspon
dence is the wife of Gen. GILMAN, Mrs. Myeas is a
daughter of the late Gen. Twzoos. Mr. VISITTELY,
of whom reference is also mad e,is a correspondent and
artist of the Illustrated London Times, and writes also
for one or two French papers. He was quite indig
nant when accompanying Bull-Run Russell, because
our Government refused him a pass to go to the
Army of the Potomac. He had just then returned
from the 'West, where he boasted that he had done
brilliant service against the rebels. He always in
sisted that he was strongly with the 'North, and de
spised the rebels.
• Gxo. N. SANDERS, writing to his son in Decem
ber last, says, "My steamers are really the only
thing abroad in which the nation has really much
interest. It is the only thing that offers succor and re
lief. SINCLAIR BULLOCK'S steamers are only prey
ing on the enemy's commerce. We want more
than that now. We want succor or we must
die. Mr. MASON will, I am sure, take the
right view. All other projects sink into :insig
nificance compared to the construction of my
six steamers. So thinks Congress,, and so thinks
every intelligent man with whom I have conversed.
You must present the case to Mr. Misox in every
point of view. Theae steamers can open and keep
open the port of New Orleans to our commerce, and
one week's trade will pay the nation three times
their cost. I would secure my trunks and all the
presents until your return." SANDERS' order-book
embraces heavy orders for Liverpool cotton and
pins, French corsets, tea, jewelry, and shoes, for va
rious ladies—Mrs. JEFF Davis included.
The lettez s show that the men want boots princi:
pally.
European capitalists are advised to invest in cot
ton, and that a great scarcity of cotton and woolen
goods exists in the South. Among other things, the
war is represented as terrible—Richmond is much
altered and the citizens turned extortionists.

on the reef, With signals of distress flying. He stood
down for them, and found one to be the ship Lucinda,
of N. Y., laden with troops and horses. She hadgone•
ashore the previous night, had thumped over the reef
And was inside, between the north point of Long
Reef and Triumph Reef. We went immediately to
work, and gother off without injury, and started her
on her Course. - We then bore down for the other
xessel, which proved to be . the Sparkling Sea, of
New York, and had on board the 25th New York
Battery. She had run ashore at daybreak, on the
north point of Ajax Reef, and. will probably prove a
total wreck. Finding it impossible to get her off, as
she was hard fast on the reef, with four or five feet
of water in the hold, I received on board this vessel
the officers and men belonging to the 25th New * York
Battery, and proceeded with them to Key West,
where I arrived this 'morning.

The High Price of Paper.
The agents of paper dealers and manufacturers
have been busy in attempting to influence the action
of Congress against a reduction of the duty on pa
per. Nothing has yet transpired to encourage their
hopes. The embarrassments to newspaper pub
lishers, resulting from the imposition of extortionate
prices, are duly appreciated by many influential
members of Congress,who will not fail, at the proper
time, to urge such relief as may secure the ends of
justice and honesty.-,. •
The reports which have reached here, that paper
dealers and manufacturers are only waiting for the
adjournment of Congress to increase their prises
above the present figures, are believed to be true in
view of the present condition of the paper market.

PORTLAND, Jan. 19.—The steamer Hibernian,
from Liverpool on the 6th, and Lorulonderry on the
9th has arlived at this port. , •
The steamer Norwegian arrived.at :Liverpool on
the 6th., The Edinboro arrived on thelth inst., and
the Bavaria at on the Bth.
A correspondent of the London Times, who has
just returned from Madeira, says the United States
steamer Tuscarora has been employed in a sort of
blockade of Funchal. Four -British steamers,
bound for Nassau, Were lying in the roadstead on the
16th .of December. The Tuscarora chased one of
-them (the Doura);:flred at her about a mile and a
half from shore, sent a boat off, and after examining
her papers, allowed her to proceed. .
An American cruiser, shiptigged, 'apparently in
chase of a very large ship bound W. S. W., was seen
on the 20th' of December, in lat. 41, long. 15, by the
Challenger, which had arrived at Falmouth.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in reply to addresses
from the women of England urging the abolition of
slavery, writes that the -great anti-slavery work. to
which their English sisters exhorted them is almost
done.
The London Globe says that Parliament will meet
on the 6th of February.
The Globe also says that the efforts of the Ministry
- towards economy have been successful to a substan
tial extent. Coupled with the increased income,
athe Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget will be
very favorable.
A meeting of the stockholders and friends of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company was held at Liverpool
on . the 7th, to hear an address from Ron James
Stuart Wortley on the prospects of the , enterprise.
. ..The Paris correspondent of the London Times says
the Spanish Government do not intend to name any
other person to the Embassy, in place of Concha,
until they see how matters go on after the French
have occupied the city of Mexico, which the French
Government hope to effect about the middle of Feb.
miry.
The relations between Fiance and Spain are far
from 'cordial. The French Government is most
anxious to have the co-operation of England, after
their troops are in possession of the capital.
Complaints are made that the contributions for
the distressed operatives in the French manufactu
ring districts come in very slowly, and fall wofully
short of what is needed. Fifteen thousand francs
per day is at the very least required for the bare sus
tenance of those out of employment.
The Madrid journals say that all the resignations
which have recently been tendered have been ac
cepted. These resignations agitate both the Con
servatives and Liberals. It is reported that the
chief member of King Leopold's cabinet had gone to
Lisbon to urge Ferdinand to accept the Greek
throne.
The latest despatches say that the ministerial
changes will be confined to those already announced.
Sir Wm. Brown presided at the meeting of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company. There was a nu
merous • and influential attendance. Mr., Wortley
took a conlident and hopeful view of affairs, and
earnestly appealed for commercial support.
THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON ON NEW .
YEAR'S DAY.
The following is a synopsis of the news taken out
by the steamer Kangaroo :
The Paris correspondent of the London Times says
that Napoleon, at the New Year's reception, said to
Mr. Dayton, the American minister, that he regret
ted greatly the continuance of the civil war in the
United States, but hoped that before the next New
Year's day matters would be settled. This was said,
writes the correspondent, with .a sort of smile, and
May be interpreted as a pious wish or prediction; or
even as an indication of something still ratite algal-
Scant.
To another person, who bn the same day expressed
the earnest hope that the- battle of Fredericksburg
might be the last, the Emperor observed thiit he de
sired so too, and hoped the war would be ended by
next spring. This incident created a good many
conjectures.
The Conslitutionnel deniesthat France has made
any further mediation overtures.
It was reported 'that the Alabama was about to
change her cruising ground to the East Indies.-
The United States Minister at Madrid protested
against the sale of the Sumpter, which, he says,
will not be respected by the Federal cruisers, as she
is a Federal vessel which was seized by the rebels at
New Orleans.
Instructions have been asked from the Govern
ment at London as to whether a. register is to be
given her.
When the packet left Gibraltarthe Sumpter (now
changed in name to the Gibraltar) was being coaled
and getting a screw, preparatory to starting on a
voyage to England. The new captain, having
steamed around the works under British colors,
was immediately chased by the United States
gunboat Ottowa, with her guns loaded and men
at quarters.
On perceiving the United States vessel approach
ing the land within the three-miles limit, the Go
vernor, Sir William Coddington, ordered the batte
ries to be manned and the guns made ready for
action, upon which the Ottowa sheered off. A. United.
States sloop-of-war was at Algesiras, watching the
Sumpter. If a Inister be granted, she will be ek,
sorted to England by a British ship-Of-war.
Letters from Madeira complain of the' UniteiF
States frigate Sarf Jacinto firing at and stopping
British steamers off that port. The Portuguese Go
vernment has protested against a repetition of the
offence.
The London Daily News again denounces the fitting
out of. the Alabama; and wants to know If the Con
federate Government has been called to account for
this insult to British neutrality. .
Returns from the distressed districts in England
show a further improyement in the state of affairs,
but it is feared to be only temporary.
In France the unemployed. French operatives are
computed at 400,000, who are in absolute destitu
tion. . •
A demonstration hostile to the Government had
been attempted at Naples. Several arrests were
made, 'and documents' found indicating tile existence
of a revolutionary conspiracy. •
The Minister of the Interior of Italy has directed
the prefects to have two hundred and twenty batta
lions of the mobilized National Guard formed by the
20th of January.
Ministerial resignations are rumored in Madrid,
and it is asserted that O'Donnell will dissolVe the
Cortes if his policy is opposed„ A modification in
the tariff on iron, cotton, &c., is proposed. •

Mr. McDOUGALL (II.), of galiforhia,offered aims
ries of concurrent resolutions, as follows.
Resolved, That the present attempt of the French
Government to subjugate the Republic of Mexico to
her authority by an armed force is a violation of the
established rules of international law, and that it is,
moreover, a violation of the faith of France, pledged
by the treaty made at London on the 31st of Octo
ber, 1861, between the allied Governments of Spain,
France, and England, and communicated to this Go
vernment. over the signatures of the representa
tives of the allies by letter of 30th November, 1861,
and particularly and repeatedly assured to thus Go
vernment, through its minister resident at the
court of France.
Resolved, further, That the attempt to subject the
Republic of Mexico to French authority is an act
not merely unfriendly to this Republic, but to free
institutions everywhere , and is regarded by this Re
public as not only unfriendly, but as hostile.
Resolved, flirther, That it is the duty of this Rd
public to require of the Government of France that her
armed forces should be withdrawn from the territory
of .Mexico.

'_ Court of Claims.
On motion of Mr. TRUMBULL (Rep.), of Illinois,
the bill reorganizing the Court of claims was taken
up.
State Prisoners. ,
At the expiration of the morning hour, on motion
of Mr. WRIGHT (Union), 'cif Indiana, the bill for
the discharge of State prisoners was taken up.
Mr. POWELL. (D.), of - Kentucky, proceeded to
amok at length in reply to the speech of Mr. Wright.
He alluded to quotations from Mr. Jefferson as au
k
thority` for the suspension of the writ of habeas
corawl, and for making arrests,and contended that
Mr. Jelfhrson was in favor of abitrary arrests. He
referred to the fact that Mr. Jefferson, when Prat*
dent, and whenrrtain arrests were made by Gents
Jackson, sent the affidavits and charges to Congress,
and handed the persons over to the civil , authority,
which was directly the opposite course now taken
by the President and his Administration. He -re.
!erred also to the last speech made by Senator . Doug
las, in which he said he would res is t any interfer
enee with the institutions of the States, andelaimed
that the Senator from Indiana had no right to quote
Senator Douglas as authority for imprisoning
peaceful citizens. He denied that lOyalty to the
Government includes loyalty to the President.
Mr: WEIGHT said that hi time of war he be
lieved-it to be the 'duty of every loyal men to' sup•
port the Government and - give it all assistance.
Mr. POWELL said that depended on the charac
ter of thewar. Hehelieved that thia war was com
menced to overthrow the institution of the South,
and he believed it was overthrowing the Constitu
tion, and he would give' it neither money normen.
Ifeclaimed that the late elections in Indiana showed
that the people of that State 'did not 'agree prith.the
Senator's sentiments. They were in favor of the
Constitution, and'opposed to the acts of the present
Administration. The people would continue to hi
umph, and at the next Presidential election. would
obtain possession of the Government and preserve
the Constitution.
Mr. WRIGHT, in reply, said hedid not aeknow
ledge that Democracy as true which, ia time of war,
refused to aid the Government. There • had been a
Burr a Calhoun, and a 13reckinridge in the ranks of
the Democracy, and many of the Democrats who a
year ago were acting with the Senator from Kea
tuoky were now inthe rebel army. He (Mr-Wright)
did not belong to that wing of the Democracy. It
was the duty.of every loyal Democrat to, aid the Go
vernment, by every means in his power, in its
struggle for life ; and in an hour like this, he
could draw no distinction between the Govern
ment and those who were carrying it on and
trying to save it. Secession was the death of the
nation, and any admission of that principle by.the
so-called propositions of peace from so-called Demo
crats, was death to the nation. Yet there were men
now trying to get into political power through
the misfortunes of the country. The senti
ments of Senator Douglas could not be mistaken
when he declared that there could be no neutrality
in this war. Men must be either friends or traitors.
Would the men who deprecate war upon the rebels
counsel submission to them? Would they yield the
Government up to the power of treason? If
not, their mutterings are mere idiocy. The key
note of all this has been sounded in New York,
under the specious claim of State sovereignty. This
infamous doctrine, that the State has the power to
override the Government in a time of war like this,
must be put down, or the Government will be
ruined. Men have kept still for a year until misfor
tune fell upon our arms, and then they come out and
cry against the war in.the name of the Democracy,
because they think they can gain political power.
And here, to-day, a Senator has talked for an hour
and a half concerning the war and not one word
against the rebels, who were trying to break
up the Government If ever this Government
falls, its death will come 'from the traitors in
the North, and it is time that the Government
should take measures to defend itself against
these traitors. There Were fifteen thousand graves
in Indikructo-day, and she had sent one hundred
thousand men to the field, and she would send one
hundred thousand more before the Govern
ment shall fall by the hand of treason ! (Applause
in the galleries.] As Hamilear swore his child to
eternal hatred to Rome, he was willing to swear
his children to forever fight for the unity and pre
servation 'of this Government. [Applause in the
grillery.]
Mr. HALE (Rep.) of New Hampshire, moved that
the Senate go into executive session. Agreed to,
after which the Senate adjourned.

quested to inform the House what sums have been
paid, since the breaking out of the rebellion, for the
transportation of troops and munitions of war be
tween Washington and New York. This informa
tion ig reqUired by the Select Committee on the
Subject of a llitlitary and Post Road between those
, two cities.
Paymesit.or the Troops.

• Mr. COX (Dern.), of Ohio, offered a resolution ask
ing the Secretary of. War what amount of revenue
has been derived from- the sale of the hides, hoofs,
and tallow of cattle slain for the army since the com
mencement of the rebellion, and the number of cat
tle slaugetered, to whom sold, whether by contract,
and whether arrangements cannot be made to in
crease the revenue from that source. Referred to
the Committee on Government Contracts.
Credentials.
Mr. BEAMAN (Rep.), of Michigan, presented the
credentials of John 8. - Rogers, claiming a seat as a
Representative from Tennessee. Referred to the
Committee on Elections.
Finance Rill.
The House then went ixto Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union on the bill providing ways
and means for the support of the Government.
Mr. RIDDLE (Rep.), of Ohio, in a general discus
sion of the subject, said the time had arrived when
Congress should exercise the power residing with it,
and hitherto inert, to supply a uniform currency,
both to the Government and to the people.
Mr. HOOPER (Rep.), .of Massachusetts, alluding
to the former action' of Congress, said the currency
provided by it was recognized in every part of the
country. It has fratisiled'every purpose for which
currency was needed by the people. It was such a"
currency as. the people were entitled to, and had a
right to demand, and the Government should at this
time provide. The people 'asked for more of it, be
cause the actual results of its use had showed that
more is required for the purpose of trade of the coun
try, and because the further issue is necessary, and
will be beneficial to the public service. The tax
bill is in successful operation, and it is believed the'
revenue derived from it, and from the tariff on im
ports, will much exceed the estimates then made of
a hundred and fifty millions, without operating
oppressively on the industrial interests of the coun
try. One more measure is required to perfect the
system—namely, a National Banking Law, which
will establish a uniform and secure system of
banking throughout the country. He proceeded
to discuss the measures submitted to the House
by the Secretary of the Treasury. The substitute
he had offered for the bill reported by the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, would afford all the means
to pay all demands of the public service, and at the
same time provide to' capitalists, bankers, and the
people, the means to prevent any depreciation of
currency growing' out of the redundancy of notes
issued by the Treasury Department. He objected
to the bill of the committee because it restricted too
much the action of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. HORTON (Rep.), of Ohio, argued that there
is no other mode by which money can be raised ex
cepting on public credit. In explaining the pending
proposition, he said, in order to fund 'a large amount
of debt, it was inevitable that currency should be in
flated ; but the bill was calculated to prevent evil
results. The committee had made the bill as worka
ble as possible, but would consider any suggestions
in the way of improvement. He opposed the propo
sition of Mr. Stevens to pay the interest in specie.
Mr. WATTS (Rep.), Delegate from. New Mexico,
opposed two classes of currency. He would pay all
descriptions of debts in legal-tenders. He wanted
no better currency than greenbacks. If one machine
would not print notes fast enough he would procure
two.
lflr. GURLEY (Rep.), of Ohio, showed from the
act of July, 1862, that the Secretary of the Treasury
has power to sell the six per centum bonds on such
terms as he should think most beneficial to the pub
lic interest, leaving him free to sell at any price.
- Without concluding "the question, the committee
rose and the souse adjourned.

How. JAMES W. - WALL, SENATOR FROM
NEW JERSEY, AT TEE- GIRARD Ilotrax---A SEEN
FADE AND A SpzEou.-I.ast night, about 11 o'clock,
Col. James W. Wall, U. S. Senator elect from New
Jersey, was serenaded at the Girard House, in
the presence of a vast concourse of people. Pre
vious to his appearance on the balcony, a plen
tiful display of fire-works was exhibited in front
of the building, and there was much cheering
and noisy demonstration. He was introduced
by Mr. 'James 0. Vandyke, in a brief speech, in
which a eulogy was paid to the words "traitor,"
"rebel,"—words which he said had more than ordi
nary significance, because Washington and his com
patriots were proud to be honored with such appel
lations
Mr. Vandyke was frequently interrupted by
loud calls for " Wall" with cheers for New Jersey
and Vallandigham, and groans for Butler and Came
ron, intermingled with demonstrations of disapproba
tion and counter cheering. In the midst of his re
marks the band struck up a lively . air, and Mr. Van
dyke was obliged to' close.
Mr. Wall soon after appeared, and after prolonged
cheering, commenced hispeech as follows :
FELLOW-CITIZENS OF PHILADELPHIA : I fear I
have not words to express to you the heartfelt gra
tification that I feel at this moat magnificent
reception, It was only, my friends, a few weeks
ago that I was told that the . Democrats of
the city of Philadelphia were all dead. [A
voice "it is a lie," and laughter.] If this is a
specimen of the mortality of the Democracy of Phi
ladelphia, then, all I have to say is, that you are the
liveliest set of corpses I ever saw. [Cheers, and de
risive cheers.] Ido not know anything like it in the
history ofthe world, except it may bein thebook of
Ezekiel, where we are told that "bone came to bone,
and the stood upon their feet an exceeding great
army." Applause. A Voice. "Three cheers for Gen.
Butler." My friends, there are a great many fanati- '
cal, thoughtless men in this community, who be
lieve even now in the classical language of .Abraham
Lincoln, [groans and cheers,] uttered from yonder
porch, that "nobody is hurt." [Hisses and laugh- '
ter.] But, my friends, there are thoughtless
men in every community;but there are some honest,
patriotic men who believe that at this hour the
ship of State is tossing in the angriest storm it ever
encountered... I know, fellow-citizens that there
are many of us here to-night who, likehonest &on
salvo, in Shakspeare'a play of the Tempest, would
give a "furlong of sea fora barren acre of ground."
'My friends, we must stick to the ship, and whatever
be its fate, you and I most share its destiny. There
.is a precious freight on board this tempest-tossed
bark. The waters are white with the foam .be
neath her bow. There is no time to take to the
long boat; That tempest-tossed vessel is freighted
also with the precious Constitution our fathers
gave us. The compass by which they steered.
it is still on board that vessel, and in order to;
C eserve it we have got .to stick to the shipi.
ries'of "that's so," and cheers.] My friends,
there are men now navigating ' that vessel who are
attempting to steer her by the compass of coercion; •
and to drive her by the chart of a "higher law."..
[Cheers and counter cheers.] It is to watch these
men that we have got to stick to the ship. Ido not
believe that that old vessel will ever be saved until
a Democratic commander again walks the deck
[cheers], and the strong hand . of a Democratic pilot.
is upon her helm. [Renewed applause, and cheers
for Wall.] .
Fellow-citizens, I have recently, at the hands
of the Legislature of the State of New Jersey
[three cheers], been tendered the responsible of
fice of Senator of the United States. I go there,
my friends, as I understand it, to advocate,
as far as my limited abilities willpermit—to
advocate„l say, peace in that body. [Cheers for
"peace.') I cannot say, my friends, how this is to
be brought about but I believe I speak the senti
ments of the . people of New Jersey, and not only of
the people of New Jersey, but of the loyal people or
Pennsylvania, when I say that they will hail the
hour that shall bring us from out this lurid tempest
of war into the calm and blessed shade of a long
and lasting peace. [Cheers.] My friends, Igo also,
as I understand rt,. upon the floor of the Senate of
the United States, to advocate those great prin
ciples of civil liberty which were handed down
to us from our fathers [renewed cheers]—
those great principles which are embodied in the
amendments to the Constitution of the United States,
every one of which, I am sorry to say, has been
trampled under foot by the present Administration.
[Applause.] Gentlemen, you will recollect that it
is but a few months ago that men were afraid to ex
press the truth that was in them; but now, how
great the change! A short time ago I, gentlemen,
endured obloquy and insult of the grossest character.
Aye, my family had to submit to the grossest insults
in the city of Burlington, and my daughters insulted
by the wenches on the streets. When I ventured to
complain I was charged with disloyalty. I have had
no distinct accusation against me, though I have
time after time demanded to know it. I wrote to
Mr. Cameron to know why I had been imprisoned
in the dungeons of Fort Lafayette. [Cheers and
groans for Cameron.] But, gentlemen, after I had
been imprisoned for weeks and then let free,
I wrote to Mr. William H. Seward, I said:
"Sir, I have written to the Secretary of. War
for the purpose of being informed why I was
put in the Bastiles of I the Administration ; now
please tell me why I was let out]" [Cheers and
laughter.] I have not been able to find out either.
Yet, - however, before I left my home, I understood
that a leading Republican editor of the - State had
asserted. that I was put in that Bastile:because
I was one of the - parties engaged in endeavor
ing to take Maryland out of the Union.
[Laughter.] Well, when I' saw that, I thought
it was necessary, in ordmithat I might polish
the lie and give it a Republican finish,
that I should send to him a note telline him to put
in his paper of to-morrow that I was not only en
gaged on that ,work, but that I was in disguise
among the Plug Uglies—the captain who shot down
the soldiers of the Massachusetts regiment who
passed through Baltimore on the 19th of April. One lie
only equalleddhe other. [Cheers.] But, gentlemen,_
during all these stirring times, when the hearts of
men were failing them for very fear, I still had con
fidence in that sober second thought of the American
people—never wrong, always right. I always, my,
friends, relied upon the reserved force of the nation,
and I am happy to say that the reserve force of the
nation is now coming to the rescue of its imperilled
Constitution. [Cheers for the Constitution.] Put
your faith my friends, in that truth, uttered by a
I
man who,am sorry to say, does not now under
stand the import of the lines he wrote—l mean Mr.
Bryant, of the Evening Post—that
"Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again--
- The eternal years of God are hers ;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
' • -And dies amid her worshippers."
Mr. Wall then concluded by expressing a regret
that his health would not permit him further to ad,
dress his friends, and to assure them that he would
take the earliest opportunity to again address his
'fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania.
Charles W. Carrigan followed in a short speech,
and the crowd soon after dispersed. The, band played
numerouatunea, but not one was of . a national cha
racter. .
HEAVY ROBBERY OF GOLD BY A BEGGAR.
—.lnformation was lodged at the Central Station
last evening that a bag, containing $6,000 in twenty
dollar gold pieces, worth about $7,200, was stolen
from the counter at the establishment of Jay Cooke
be Co., on Third street, below Chestnut, between four
and five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The person
who committed this robbery wawa miserable-looking
beggar-man,. about fi ve feet ten or eleven inches in
height. He • wore rings in his ears, and had on a .
slouched hat. It seems that an express-wagon
was standing in front of the banking-house, await
ing to *transport of some gold, of which there were
twelve bags, each containing five thousand dollars.
One of the attachOs of the establishment accidentally
dropped a bag, and the gold rolled out. It occupied
a few moments to pick:up the money and restore it
to the bag. When this was accompliahed, the boy
put the treasure on the counter for the express man
to come in to get it. Just at this moment the beg
gar entered the house, and those behind the counter
saw him pass along, and supposed that he had
gone into the back office to solicit alms. The clerk
having placed the bag of gold on the counter,
turned his back for • a moment, and the beg
gar suddenly, turned, :picked up the bag, and
walked out of the front door with it. The whole
thing was done in the "twinkling of an eye." He
was seen by several persons with the bag in his pos
session. In a moment the alarm was sounded, and
a hurried search was made in every.hole and corner
in the neighborhood, but the thief could not be found
anywhere. He is described at the Central Station
as wearing ear-rings--is a dilapidated specimen of
humanity; but it is more than likely' that he will so
change his appearance as to avoid arrest. The de
tectives, on learning the particulars of the robbery,
spread themselves in different porta of the city, last
evening, with the view of capturing the - fellow, if
possible, and recovering the money.. •
The bold robber subsequently visited a jewelry
establishment, and after making choice of articles
;7lfered payment in double eagles. This excited the
mapicion of the - jeweler, and.he handed the rascal
over to the police. The money was all - recovered
except about $lBO which had been expended in vari
ous ways. Be was arrested by Lieut. Henderson
and Officer Atkinson, and gave his name as William
Welsh. He immediately owned that helmd com
mitted the robbery.

The Neiv York-Evening Pod of today says
The stock market is very active to-day, with an enor
mous business in gold and the speculative shares. Some
of the leading railways jumped this morning 5 and 6 per
cent., and in one case (Reading) 8 per cent. The most
buoyant of the list are Erie, Michigan Southern, Bead
ing, Galena, and Rock Island. The prospect of an early
passage of the currency- bills by Congress gives buyers
for the rise great confi dence.

vance of %V. cent. Erie closes with sales at 77.
Chicago and Rock Island rose from 91 to 96; Galena

Money is easy at s@ti'g cent. The banks are lending
quite freely again at 6 V. cent.
The market for gold and demand notes is again excited
to-day, at au advance of ygvis; cent. on the quotations
of Saturday. The opening business in gold was at 1173%
at which there were considerable sales, but at the board
14€0148,4 were paid. 'The large export of Saturday in
duces holders to ask higher rates.
Dutiable demand notes sold at 144, which i s freely bid.

Captain Hazard remains in the city, with a e 01
non-commissioned officers, to recruit the comxyta
its full standard. About twenty men, we bakers
are yet wanted to complete this company, and wean
rather surprised that it has not been completed before
offering, as it does,so many advantages. This arisen
we presume, from the fact that men doubt if !Itt
authority has been given as will enable the battslis:
to remain at the fort. All doubt on this subject rim
be settled by a glance at the authority of the Wst
Department in the possession of the Captain. n
company is probably one of the best organized int
State; most of the non-commtsvaloned officers a:
men who have served in the field, not only ir. thu
country, but in Europe. The list of commiszil
officers is as follows :
Captain—Samuel Hazard, Jr., formerly of &fa'
Lancers.
First Lieutenant—Joseph B. Bispham, Grey R.
serves.;
nrst Lieutenant—E. H. Miles, Gen. Gnat,
a rmy. •
Second Lieutenant—George P. Kimball, A..n.:?3 ,
Cavalry.
This is, we believe, the only successful orginii. ,
tion under the last call for troops in this State.
other comPanies are now on duty at this post,
as bounty ceases after this month, we presume ther
will be no trouble in getting the few men necestar,
to the completion of this.
