There are some very peculiar fluctuations no ticeable in the returns made to the assessors of internal revenue; and the enormous differences in the income of one year over another are startling commentaries on the uncertainties of business. One man in New York who had no property to speak of in 1883 returns an income of $04,000 in 1564. Ile has evidently been success ful in oil orstocka. One large mercantile house made sales to the amount of forty-two millions of dollars, and the leading partner's income was six hundred thousand dollars. A. T. Stewart in 1884., made sales to the amount of thirty-nine million, on which he made only $300,000. In 1803 the same merchant returned an income of one million eight hundred thousand dollars. These facts are remarkable, not only as show ing the immense business transactions, but also as evidence of the dizzy changes to which co lossal fortunes are liable. Some of these mer chants no doubt have acquired their wealth In the legitimate channel of trade. For many years they have shown rare ability and great discrim ination in mancetivering heavy stocks of goods, as a competent general handles hundreds of thousands ormert Bat on the ocean where sail the ships of these merchant princes multitudes of smaller craft meet shipwreck every day. Then again there are seeming argosies laden with Bilks and pearls, fair to the sight but dangerous on trial, and are overwhelmed at the first gale. There is something unhealthy and feverish In the Idea of a man's going into an income of eighty thousand dollars in a single year; and the result of such fortunes generally proves It to be true that real wealth is best acquired by patient In dustry. The Treasury of the United States has re ceived some assistance in this war from many a golden bubble, shining in the morning sun, but for a moment; Adventurers in pursuit of an heir ess, men ambitious of social position, fast young blades who dasire to astonish the world, or to effect loans On . doubtful securities, have return ed larger incomes and paid taxes accordingly. The fellow Who dealt in lard and who slipped off to Europe with a half million of other peo ple's property, was taxed for an Income of $15,- 000 In 1863, and for twice as much in 1864; and this was part of the false foundation on which he built up his credit. Such things are by no means new, btO the tax-collector brings them before us in a novel form, and people are there by led to wonder and moralize. rif•We are in daily expectationof heating of the tracceedul laying dew atlantic Cab% JAY COOSA THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT. Mr. Jay Cooke en in*erpriiintind successful Phibtdelphla banker, bas dials been one of Abeinasteffickat negoMatorAetpublic securi ties. Four years ngo,'when Pennsylvania State slocirs'iveredown to 85,4te werketi and brought them Rs) to par, and at that tate he obtained throat:Lillian dollars , for thiState. for raising and einipping her troops. When Um Secretary of the'Treasury gave various bankers through out the country commissions to negotiate his firsticians, Mr. Cooke was always among the most successfuL He infused a portion of his own great energy into his sub-agents, and seem ed to best understand how to present the claims of the Government. to the people. When the live-twenty loan 'was authorized, it was before the public many months without attracting any attention, and the total sales by the Government were only about eighteen millions. The war expenses were so vast that banks and bankers wereno longer able to supply money in sufficient amounts, and the Secretary of the Treasury was compelled to adopt some plan for appealing di rectly to the people to supply the means for sus taining the Government. Popular loans had never been tried, and their nature was not gen endly'tinderstood. Capital was always sensitive, and capitalists, large and small, were not only to be told that there were five-twenty loans, on the market, but were to be convinced that it was the beat as well as the most patriotic invest ment. Mr. Cooke's high character and previous success induced the Secretary to appoint film General Subscription Agent. The press and the telegraph were immediately put in motion. A large sum was spent in advertising, the distri bution of a great variety of circulars and hand bills, &A. the employment of travelers, and in establishing sub-agencies throughout the loyal stales. It has always been Mr. Cooke's policy to have our loans taken at home, and he has never solicited subscriptions abroad, believing that our own people should have the advantage of the interest. The result of Mr. Cooke's efforts for Ave-twenties is well known. Under his agency, dating about February int, 1863, and closing January 22d, 1804, the loan was sold up to t,.514,- 780,500. As gi,..st success always occasions Jealousy, complaints of favoritism towards Mr. Cooke were made against the Treasury Department, which a special report to Congress proved to be without the slightest foundation. About this time the National Banking System was established, and it was a part of the plan that the National Banks should be the financial agents of the Government While publicly ex pressing the warmest gratitude to Mr. Cooke for his past great and successful efforts, the Secreta ry of the Treasury determined to try the experi ment of placing the ten-forty loan through their agency. In four months but eighty millions were sold. On July 25th, 1844, the first series of seven-thirties was offered through the same channel, but, up to February Ist, 1865, a perkxl of six months, the mica and payments to soldiers amounted to only about one hundred and twen ty millions. This rate of subscription tot being sufficient to meet the public wants, it was deter mined to return to Mr. Cooke, under whose management the sale began to show an increase within the first week, Ind in less than two weeks averaged two millions a day. During the first thirty days they reached one hundred millions—an average of about four millions for each working day. The first series was ex hausted on the 30th of March, when the sale of the second series of three hundred millions was begun. This series was all sold on the 15th of May, deducting Sundays and holidays, in the wonderful short space of thirty-tax working days—making an average of eight and ortodhird millions per day. The sales of the third series then commenced, hut, owing to the fact that the Treasurer wag unable to deliver the notes, com paratively little effort was made to influence sub scriptions until June Ist, when deliveries were advertised to begin. Sales of Government loans under Mr. Cooke's management as General Subscription Agent, have been about thus 5.20 Bonds_ 7.50 Notes_ $1,24,400,000 to say nothing of his earlier undertakings, or the large amount of bonds taken by his firm at the letting to the highest bidder. Although other causes than Imperfect agencies retarded the subscriptions•in the summer and autumn of 1864, it cannot be denied that their subsequent success was chiefly from Mr. Cooke's energetic direction. His efforts have certainly been as unceasing and his wisdom, skill and energies have certainly been taxed as much as those of any commander in the field, and with results not tins important He has been ably assisted by his brother, Henry D. Cooke, and H. C. Fahnestock—both partners in the firm of Jay Cooke & Co, Bperial Cbrmponcknce of the Independent Republimn. Letter From Philadelphia. PIIILADELPMA, Aug. 2nd, 1E65. The contest for the leading Federal appointments in this city, which has been carried on with much spirit daring the past fortnight, terminated on Sat, nrday in favor of the incumhents. Colonel Wsi. B. Mosul!' has been honored by a re-appointment to the office of Collector of the Port; E Bzeb ItlnrEn, of Bradford county, is retained as Surveyor, and Dr. Entrant) Wattacz, of Berke, as Naval Officer, while C. A. WALBIODN is to serve us as Postmaster during another period of four rears. Asa general thing I believe three appointments are in harmony with public sentiment, and eminent ly just and proper. The gentlemen thus honored are every way worthy, being fully up to the old Jet tetanal= test of capability,i integrity, and fidelity to duties severally entrusted to them. They also have the additional advantage of experience to aid them in serving both the Government and the people, which is no small consideration. Why they should have been met with opposition at all can only be ex plained by saying that there wrrn persons ontalde who simply wanted to "get in," and could perceive no other way to accomplish their wishes but by crowding somebody else out. To these men were joined our tour Congressmen, each smarting under some fancied grief, and big with wrath. They visit ed the President In a body and " demanded " the appointment of a new set of men ; and, as u to clench their demand, Lb., declared they made it "In the name of the people' of Philadelphia and of the district in which the city is located. Well, an ap peal was taken to the "pnople," particularly by Colonel Thomas and his friend', with results far different from what these gentlemen had represent ed or anticipated. Find, the importers, almost in a solid body, asked the re-appointment of Collector Tunes.'The Corn Exchange Association, embody ing the great mercantile influence of the city, met and unanimously protested against any change.— Then followed the verb's= committees of city and ward political organizations, and the Union Leagues, all in the same strain of protest. And, lastly, went on to the President, from the citizens generally, Pe titions and protests of the like import, by the bush el, literally overwhelming with reproach these rec reant Congressmen, and smothering them with dis comfiture. Thus the victory was won, and Wil dcats intermeddling rebuked. How much has bean pined by these gentlemen will be apparent In the future. You need not be surprised if more than one of them should be left to chew the cad of disappoint ment a year hence, should they then seek the hon ors of re-election. There is wide-spread feeling of indignation among all classes of the community naiad their course, especially that ,towarda COL TOMAS. Even the ladles entered into the contest in his betel with a zeal scarcely to have been an ticipated. the gallant and patriotic conduct in thrice organizing troops at. his own expense, and leading them to the field during the darkest of the late rebellion, (while those who were his rivals and contestants, were taking their ewe in splendid par lors, or, perhaps, drilling a brief hour a day In the " home guards,") Is not so soon forgotten.

The last of the Government Loans, authorized by Congress, hats at length been taken, and the agency here is closed for the present. The effect of it is to cheapen " Greenbacks " and excite speculation.— Stocks of all kinds have now a strong upward tenden el. and the price of gold has considerably advanced. .Of course this affects the so-called values of all kinds of merchandise, adversely to the interests of the consumer.

Row many to-day are canvassing and pro pounding within themselves the gnat question, and how many are disappointed in all their fond hope -and bright prospects that they had laid up in store for the future ! Mast bow many have been disappointed. Battle scenes and the rough hard ships of military life bad almost vanished from their visions, When they looked forward to their joyous prospects of the future, and when many are doomed to remain still longer away from their homes and firesides, and mingle with their brothers In arms.— Still they must not think that this Government looks with a partial eye upon any of his defenders, Whether on land or on sea. But the interests of tbs service demand that some must be kept; and those who are the " lucky ones" must bear it with as good a grace as possible, hoping a good time will come soon.

Most of tier sails and manning gear have been found to be in a very good condition. One or two sailing barks, which have bean bum for two or three years, have been examined and con demned—their upper works being all rotten. They may, therefore, be considered to be in their final borne. No very brisk tnuto has, as yet, appeared np in this port. But It may improve by and by.

Yours, .ke.,_ Senator Wilson's Sentiments Ron. Henry Wilson, one or the leading members of the United States Senate, is an address at a Fourth of Jaly celebration at Washington, expressed hit, dews on dealing with the rebels as follows "I want the south to understand that their black code and their black larws, and all they have done to hold men In slavery, were abolished forever with slavery Itself; and I serve here to-day a notice upon them that I have prepared a bill—which I intend to introduce, too, un the first dey ofithe next Congress —for the personal liberty of every freedman on this continent; and I want them to understood that I belong to a class of men who are accustomed to sleep on the field of victory—a class of men who accept the doctrines of the New Testament, who ac cept as the living faith of the North American Re public, the Declaration of Independence—a class of men who represent the principles of liberty, of hu manity, of justice, and a set of men who never were and never can be defeated. (Cheers. 3 In our ears the words, the touching words of Abraham Lincoln ran forever, that the black man may, in some hour of future Dial, keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom. Mr. Wilson then reviewed the various political parties with which he had been connected at various times, but from which he broke when they ceased to carry the standard of progress to the height he thought it should go, until at last, said he, after four years of bloody straggle I have seen slavery wiped out of the country, from Canada to Mexico. Now I tell you to-day, that, casting party organization aside, I stand upon the eternal pand. pies or right, have sworn to stand there until the end of the chapter; and so long as there is a right not secured, or a wrong unredressed, these men are , ready, and will buildup or pull down at their pleas era I say to you that ninety-five oat of every hun dred or the men who in November last voted to put I Abraham Lincoln—God bless his name—ln the Pres idential chair, are standing to-day shoulder to shoulder, determined to protect the freedom of America. Nothing Is more sublime than the record of the black man In the struggle. They have stood by our brave soldiers and sailors in the thickest of the fights ; they have guarded ne against the enemy ; they have stood by our men when fugitives from starving prisons, and given them food.

" Good I good and applause.] It Is said if they possessed the right of suffrage they would vote as their former masters dictated to them. If there ever was an utterance that had not the semblance of truth in It, that is it. 1 bellevethat if the Government had told the rebels, when it forced them to lay down their arms, that they must do }medico to the negro and give him his franchise they would have done it; but I am not here to find fault with the Government, and shall keep my faith In It until It is broken. And I be lieve the President of the United States, who told the black man in the Capital of his own Tennessee that, If no one else would, he would be the Moses, and be to them what Abraham Lincoln would have been to them had he lived to carry out his great and glorious principles. I understand they say that they hold the right of suffrage in their bands. I want them to understand that an act of Congress prohib its them from bolding offices under the Govern ment, and until justice is done to the negro thbse gentlemen will go minus the offices. Pardons will not give them to them. I am not In favor of com promises generally; but we may accept as a com promise justice to the negro." _41.514,400,000 . 780,000,000 A Washington correspondent of the World com municates the following. There is not the slightest doubt that young Surratt'e testimony "would have entirely exculpated his mother ;" and, for that mat ter, each and every one of the eonspriraters might have been "exeulpated " by the sumo easy method:\ We have beard before of families whose testimony was useful to each other In Lawsuits, and always wondelfally harmonious: " Gorier the late conspiracy trial the counsel for Mrs. Barrett wrote to theilecretary of War, through Judge Advocate General Molt, requesting the privi lege of making John H. Surratt a witness for the prosecution and pledging themselves to bring Bar rett here from Canada in good season milting in re turn that Starrett should be made a witness in favor of his mother, and also that an informal pledge should be given that Buren would be pardoned. The Secretary of War refused to entertain the pro position, on the around that Bnrratt was so deeply implicated In the conspiracy, according to the theory of the Government, that he could net, under any circumstances, receive a pardon. It ta believed by Mrs. Barrette counsel that hie testimony would have entirely exculpated his mother and this opin ion Is strengthed by a statement of Payne that one evening, on the occasion of his last visit at Mrs fiurratt's, he made a remark to Barrett In the parlor from which the plan to abduct the President might be Inferred, when, Immediately Burratt took Payne out of the parlor, and told him never to say any thing of that kind aoln in the presence of his moth er or Mater, as they knew nothing about the affair and should not" eIISMIINARY FIGILT wren LIDLIIIII.-.The Leaven worth (Rsmuus) Conserved* Willy WM, publishes an account of a desperate and ennartimg fight, July Mb, near Red Batas, 100 miles westof Fort Laramie be. tween H of the Mb Kansas Regiment and a gang of Indians, The train which the soldiers were escorting wan burned, andprivate Mores Brown and James Bellew were bill ed, and one sergeant and ten privates were reported missing.

By order of the 1.7n10n State Central Committee, 81MON CAMERON, Chairman. A. W. fir.attacr, Warn roaszr, The Great Central Basin. Mr. Bowles, of the Chicago Tribune, who is one of Speaker Colfax's party, now crossing the Contin ent, writing from Austin, Nevada, Bays: The country between this and Salt Lake la de/o leic enough. No one can understand how utterly worthless it is for all the uses of man, except where the mountains are tilled with minerals, until he sees it. The everlasting sage brush, with a few stunted cedars upon the mountains, and willows, and patch es of grass, and scattered flowers in the gorges scarcely redeem the whole country from utter ster ility. The exceptions are scarcely worth naming, for alter leaving the Salt Lake Valley, the moun table are not so high as the Wintas on the East nor the Sierras on the West, and hence they do not reach up into the regions of perpetual snow, and thus furnish streams to irrigate the plains between them. The maps of this portion of the United States greatly need revising. In sit but the most general facts they are practically worthless. We look for no mountain ranges after leaving Salt Lake till we reach the Bleras, at or near Virginia City, some two hundred miles west; while, in tact, the stage crosses thirteen distinct ranges in that dis tance. True they are not so high as the main di visions of the Rocky Mountains, but future maps should have them distinctly traced, if publishers would lay any just claim to accuracy. The valleys between these mountains are from five to twenty five miles wide, almost devoid of everything but sage brush. It should be noticed, however, that this universal sterility is due entirely to the want of water; for In our judgment the land here in most cases is Mat that proportion of silicon and calee hulls ingredients that would make a most product live soil, could It be blessed with timely rains. It may be worth while to mention that our sup sition as to the probabilities of a route being found a hundred miles south of Salt Lake, for the Pacific. railway, has been changed by our ride of four hundred miles from that city. It consequent ly cannot follow the stage route over the timber range's of mountains between Virginia and Balt Lake, and several Intelligent gentlemen who said they had thoroughly explored the country south of it, have assured us that the country Is more barren and broken than It is on the route over which we have passed. As Benton once said In Congress, the buffalo ages ago surveyed the route for the great highway of the continent. The route Is by the South or Brigham's Pass, north of Salt Lake, and by the Humboldt and Carson Valleys, to the best point, probably Virginia City, on the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and thence by the best Pass, and that will be ditlicult enough, to San Fran cisco. The mute indicated is the old California trail, still largely used by emigrants to the Pacific elope. These observations, at best of no value as against the leverof the engineers, may be of soup service to those pioneers who wish to locate in ad vance of the advent of the locomotive. Our pres ent information has convinced us of their general accuracy. The Voice of a Southern Man In his excellent 'Fourth of July oration, at Chica go, Henry Winter Davis says: " I have seen abontas much of negroes as any cf you, have lived as near them, and suppose I have as much prejudice towards them as any of you ; but to talk 61 this after we have had to call them to our aid in putting down this rebellion, Is either drivel ling folly or infinite meanr.ess. japplante) If yon did not wish to have the negro hereafter enjoy the rights of a man, why did you bury him on the bat tle field? [Applause.] Yon, white men of Illinois, Why did you not have the quota of your State in creased so that the negro should not be needed ? Lappin:we.] We, of Maryland, carried enumeipa- Mon by going to the poor white men in the South ern portion of the State, and showing them that the negro could relieve them from military sem-tee— the-7 did not stop to discuss his right to political privileges then. If he is their and your equal on the battle-field in the service of the country, be ie and should be at the ballot-box, fapplausej and it be is not your equal on tho battle-field, then you have cheated the United States, to the injury of the national cause, to save yourselves front service.— [Renewed applause.] " There it nothing in President Johnson's procla mation which assumes to conclude the judgment of the Congress of the United States on the recogni tion of State governments in the rebel States. He may have bed more confidence to the white people of the South than I have ; he may have desired to give them a golden opportunity of refuting every slander and of silencing every doubt regarding their loyalty. He might have a hope that when they should be called upon to vote on the Constitutions nuder his proclamation, to be ready topresent them to Congress In the form of petitions, for they would be nothingelse, that seeing the signs of the times, -and what and humanity require, or what the long-headed people of the North will nat urally suppose their safety requires, they may Incor porate universal suffrage as the basis of their Coo etitutions. I shall rejoice with him if that result shall come about, but I am far trout expecting it." Our National Finances °Metal Statement to July alrt---The Debt Over Two anal a lilt Billions.

Meeting of Jefferson Davis's Friends The friends of Jefferson Davis, the late pseudo President of the pseudo Contederacy held every prt. vats and confidential meeting, says the New 'York Evening Rat, day before yesterday at the rooms of Mr. Carlos Butterfield in Broad-street, the form of Invitation being us follows : "Yon are invited to meet, with several gentle. men, at the offices Nos. 19. and al In the house No. 9 Broad-street, on Monday, the Slat inst., at 4 r. x. to devise means for the fair and full defense of Jet' lemon Davis and hie associates, so whatever happens justice may be done. New York, July 26, 1865. Tliere was no formal organisation, we understand, but a commute of five was spointed, consistin,, ,, of C. Godlre y Gunther, Carlos Butterfield, Theodore Martine, Mr. Cleavey and Mr. Douglas, "to raise funds for the object stated hi the call, to consult with Charles O't.onner, esq., of counsel, and to adopt such other measures as may be necessary to hasten on a trial of the parties so unjustly ineareer , ated by the United States Government." A cumber of Southerners were present and made brief speeches, saying that the failure at the rebel. lion was merely temporary, and that the great in surrection was overpowered, not crushed. The spirit that originated It still lived and was strong, and, with the aid of the North and the oust:dement of the "glorious doetrine of State Bights," the in dependence of the Booth would yet be established on an Indestructible basis. Allusions were made to the "official murder" of Mrs. Barrett, with the declaration that It had tired the Southern heart once more to do and dare. The gentlemen who figured so prominently in the meeting ought to be taken to the proposed Morgue. They are deader than the Ptolemies, and they don't know It; nor will they until their bodies become too offensive to remain above ground.

We tremble when we think that the salvation - of the nation's prestige and honor, If not of its life, and of the cause of free government everywhere, depended upon the accident, as ft seemed, of the accession in the winter of 15411., of Edwin Si.

Long John Wentworth" on Ne- gro Suffrage. Hon. John Wentworth, who represents the Chi cago district In the next Congress, recently made a welcome speech to a returning Illinois regiment, In which he said : "Those traitors who for four years have been fighting to subvert the Constitution, trample liber ty tinder foot,and set up a government of their own, with slavery as Its corner-stone, now that all hope. In that direction are gone, have set up a furious en against the negro being allowed to vote. Of course, the negro is and always bas been loyal—he would vote the loyal ticket. If ho were allowed the elect ive franchise, all their beautiful castles—all their hopes of future power would be at an end. lam in favor of letting the colored man vote, for I believe a loyal nlzzer Is a better man than a white traitor.— f Tremendous applause, long continued This war would never have broken out bad not its lenders ex. p , cted assistance from the Northern copperheads. The war is now over—the snake la crushed—let a. see to it that It never again revives."

Rebel Troops Across the RioGrande 3LcrAmouos, July lith, 1865 To-day I learned from a good source (a late C. S. officer of some rank) that some 7,000 Confederates lately crossed the Rio Grande, with the view of en tering the Mexican service, and that they are to be organized into corps, formed of them only. lan. informed that General Shelby is charged with their organization. Some °Metro of note are among them. One is the late cavalry General, Wade Hampton, who 6 said to be up the river, at Camergo , with 6,000 men. I am also told that Magruder is at Monterey. At the capital is General Kirby Smith. This iv important, for It will crush the cause of the Republican party in this country. Along with this news I am able to add the feet, that a tomcat...loner, Gen. de la Fortino, haft come to this point by order of the Government, to grant lands to exiles from their country, and to give them every facility to settle upon them by admitting, fn of duty, agricultural Implements and minerals, etc This seems to show that the Emperor is now go ing to carry out the scheme of colonizing the border with men of the late "C. B " Army, and pit them against any " emigrants" from the North. 145 - The manner In which Secretary Seward came to know of the death of the President Lincoln was singularly touching. A correspondent of the Phil adelphia Bu &tin says: He had been kept ha Ignorance of the attack on the President, his physicians fearing that the shock would be too great for him to bear, and all news papers were rigidly excluded from his room. On the Sunday following the assassination, the Secreta ry bad his bed wheeled around so that ho could see the tops of the tree, in the park opposite, just put ting on the spring foliage, when his eye caught the stars and stripes at half mast on the War Depart ment, on which he gazed awhile, then turning to Ida attendant, eaid: "The President is dead." The attendant stammered and changed color as be tried to say nay, but the sagacious old man said: "If be lied been alive, he would have been the first to call on me ; but be has not beers here, nor has he sent to know how I am, and there e the flag at half-mast" The old statesman's inductive reasoning had told the truth, and be lay in silence, the great tears coursing down his gashed cheeks, as the dread ful truth sank Into his mind. Rl' The Loutterale fawned says that the anti. amendment people seem terribly apprehensive that, unless retrained by the Constitution they will in evitably marry a nldger. We have all heard of the noisy fellow, who, when getting into a quarrel, cried out to those around him— "Hold me, gentlemen, or I shall strike him." Each anti-amendment man seems calling aloud in o similar spirit— " Hold me, dear Constitution, or I shall marry a nigger as aura as you are born." But we propose that the Constitution shall stand off and see fair play. Tu GOLD 118TER1L9T ON TILE NATIONAL The annual interest on the public debt that is pay able In gold, amounts to fifty-eight millions of dol• tars. The receipts from customs, In gold, in New. York, during the Decal year just ended, reached eighty-six millions ; thus showing that the Govern ment has had a large surplus of gold over its wants to meet the Interest. The receipts from customs during the present year will undoubtedly be much greater. The average duty paid upon the Imports of the last year was-forty-four per cent. 'New Agrettionutnio. TEAS!
