THE MORTAR FLEET.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTARS AND VESSELS,
Mom the New York Peat.]
Commander Porter's mortar flotilla is rapidly
preparing for coa. A large part of the vessels of
the fleet have received their formidable armament,
and have started for the rendezTons at the South,
or are ready- to sail.
The plans for this expedition were formed BOVe•
ral months ago. but the novel character of the en
terprise has necessarily retarded the arrangements.
Elaborate experiments have been made in order to
test the streng.h of the heavy mortars with which
the fleet is armed, and the equipment of the vessels
bee been a work of time. -At intervals the public
have been apprised of the progress of the work
bestowed upon the expedition at the Brooklyn navy
yard, but no complete account has been given of
the character of the armament or the objects which
the fleet 9S iptaded to serve. The subjoined state
furnish a history of the movement:
TAE lIQRTARS,
The twenty heavy -nurture which form the prin
mipalarinameat of the fleet ware cast at Pitt.dmrg,
and are of immense sine and strength. Their ave
rage weight is over seventeen thousand pounds, or
eight and a half tons—almost equal to the weight
Of the ten-inch columbiads, which are nearly three
times the length of the mortars. The diameter of
the bore is thirteen inches. The total depth of the
414) is thirty-five inches—a little more than two
ends halftimrs its diameter. But the most re
znarkable feature in their construction is the thick
ness of metal around the bore, which is at every
point no less than fifteen inches. The trunnions
measure fifteen inches in diameter. The entire
length of the mortar is fifty inches, and the aggre
gate diameter forty-three inches, or more than
three and a half feet.
Ordinary mortars are quite light, compared with
their calibre. Those of English manufacture, of
thirteen-inch bore, weigh from two tons (land ser
vice)•to five tons and a fraction (the heaviest sea
coast mortars). Those with which Commodore
Porter's vessels are provided—whieh may be used
alike for sea and land service—are about double
the weight and strength of the " approved " Eng
lish mortars, which have frequently burst, though
comparatively smell charges of ponder were used
end short ranges obtained.
Commodore Porter's mortars are elevated or de
pressed by means of cog-like projections on the
breech, into which a lever fits, supported by the
framework of the carriage. By means of the ac
curate working of the revolving platform and the
carriage, 'MOB can easily be obtained. It is be
lieved that accurate firing may be made at a dis
tance of two and a quarter miles.
The force of the recoil of these mortars, when the
full charge of powder is allowed (fourteen pounds),
is stated to be seventy-five tons.
The vessels of tho mortar fleet number twenty
cue, and, with the exception of the flag ship, are
Sailing vessels. Nearly all of these arc schooners
of two to three hundred tons burthen. Originally
they were fitted out as war vessels, and pierced for
four to six guns. Steamers cannot be advantage
ously employed, the ponderous mortars necessarily
occupying the centre of the vessel, so that the
positron usually assigned to the engines or ma
chinery of a steamer is taken up. Besides, these
=all vessels are stronger, in proportion, than large
ones; their light draft fitting. them for the naviga
tion of shallow waters, and their small tonnage re
quiring comparatively few men to manage them.
Moreover, as a mortar vessel fights host at anchor,
facility of movement is viiitietabsaty.
The adaptation of ttese schooners to the mortar's
service is admirable. An almost solid mass of wood
'has been built from the keel to the upper deck.
This staunch groundwork is composed of timbers
over one foot square, and twelve feet in length, in
terlaced and firmly fastened. Two or three inches
above the upper deck the " bed " is built, consist
ing of a solid horizontal surface, circular in form,
with a " track " near its edge, upon which run
rollers bearing a revolving platform. The great
mortar-bed is carefully braced, and supported by
the entire strength of the vessel, so as to bear the
recoil of the mortar. The design is apparently
perfect.
TOE REVOLTING PLATFORM
The circular platform surmounting the bed and
hearing the mot tar carriage is constructed of heavy
timbers, and is one foot in depth and nearly twelve
feet in diameter. When in position for a discharge,
it lies flat and firmly on the bed, but by ingenious
Mechanism it may be made to revolve, in order to
aim the mortar in any direction, or to resight it if
the vessel shifts its position. The change of direc
tion is easily and sickly accomplished, By the
Means of four eccentric axles in the platform, to
7which levers are fatted, the mortar and machinery
(weighing altogether over ten tons) may be raised,
and the weight transferred by the same movement
to a great number of metallic rollers attached to a
framework of immense strength under the platform.
_Then, by means of tackle already arranged, Use
whole mass mny be moved to its desired position,
and instantly, by a reverse movement, replaced on
the bed. In the centre of the platform, and ex
tending into the solid mass beneath, is an iron cy
tinder or spindle which prevents any side move
Mont. The arrangement of this machinery is ex
ceedingly simple, and the invention is attributed
20 one of the lieutenants of the navy, now actively
"engaged in the - preparation of the mortaV Vessela
ger their work.
1011=1:1
The mortar carriage is constructed almost exelu
laively of wrought iron. Its length is about nine
feet, and its height and width each four feet. In
form it bears the slightest possible resemblance to a
land carriage—gradually eloping at tho point where
.the mortar res.s, in the direction of the breech ;
aind having wheels, yet not resting on them when
the mortar is dischar ged . The carriage is composed
principally of plate iron, riveted together, braced,
and bolted. It is a framework of excellent design,
and, though weighing probably not more than two
tens, is capable of resisting a pressure of one to two
hundred tons.
Two wheels are set close to the frame.work
di
lectly under the mortars; and connected with them
are eccentric axles, so arranged as to permit so
large a part of the weight to be thrown on the
Wheels that the carriage maybe moved on them.
It is not intended however, that the recoil of the
mortar shall in any degree be taken up or lessened
in its effect by the moving of the wheels. The car
alage lies firmly on the platform when the mortar
is discharged, and the only possible motion will be
that of the vessel in the water.
VIE BOMBS AND POWDER
The bombshells to be thrown from the mortars
Are of the ordinary description, resembling round
shot, but hollow, and weighing unfilled over two
liundred pounds each, the most fortaidoble ordnance
Missies known in modern warfare, with the single
exception of those used in the Rodman eolnanud,
of fifteen-inch bore_ Between seven and eight
thousand of these bombs have been furnished for
the flotilla, and it is understood that the amount of
=plosive material contained in each shell exceeds
twelve pounds; the powder having been carefully
granulated expressly for the purpose.
CM=
In addition to the mortar armament, each vessel
of the fleet has been provided with two "long
thirty-twos," of the best description of smooth-
Lore ordnanee. Each of these weighs thirty-seven
hundredweight, and throws round shot and oh oil.
The vessels are also provided with swords, pikes,
said other necessary weapons. The entire fitting
out, with the exception of the mortars, is quite
pimilar to that of ordinary war VCSSEIiII.
TEE MODE OF OPERATION
Partial inatructione, including a record of the
Multi of the mortar a:Feria/41M Re far made by
the Ordnance Bureau, have been transmitted to
the officers of the flotilla ; but they are accompanied
by the statement that the department will find in
the results of the expedition the material most
needed for perfecting the instructions, and a tho
rough understanding of the subject.
It is understood that code of signals has been
adopted, and the method of placing and anchoring
the vessels for attack determined upon. The mor
tars cannot palely he fired directly ever the sides of
the vessel, and, therefore, the fleet must be par
tially headed towards the point of attack, which
is. however, a better position in respect to the ene
my's guns than with the broadside exposed. The
officers are ordered to anchor in the proper position,
and to remove a part of the rigging of the vessels,
and to trust to their best judgment in the no:ag
ain, absence of explicit instructions,
The effect of the firing cannot at present be ac
curately estimated. The extraordinary weight and
strength of the mortars, the charge of powder (un
precedentedly large in mortar practice), the long
range and high velocity of the projectiles ' and their
terribly-destructive character, combine to render
the expedition one of the most important that have
been 'undertaken during: the wat.

The Naval Officers Engaged in the Cap
ture of Fort Henry.
Commodore Foote's report having stated that the
whole of the seven gunboats had been engaged in
the capture of the rebel fort on the Tennessee river,
we publish below, in addition to the sketches given
on our first page, brief sketches of the remainder of
the commanders of the boats :
COMMANDER WALKE
Commander Henry Welke is a native of Virginia,
but is a citizen of the State of Ohio, from which
State he was appointed to the United States navy.
He first entered the navy on February 1, 1827, thus
making his services under the flag of the Union
over thirty-five years. His present COMlTtialten
bears date September 14, 1855, and in the navy lists
for 1860 and 1861 he stands No. 92 on the list of
commanders t having steadily risen in rank. Under
that commission he had, up to the end of 1860, seen
but one year and four months' sea service, al
though his total sea service was about fifteen
years. Up to that time he had been on
shore and other duty besides his sea service
about seven years and a half, and had been
nearly twelve years unemployed. At the coat
mencement of the rebellion he was in command
of the storeship Supply, on the Gulf squadron,
and while performing that duty brought away a
number of men, women and children, from Pensa
cola, after the surrender of the navy yard by
Commodore Armstron. This humane act was
attended with some danger; but, as it was not
authorized by the Navy Department or the flag
officer of the squadron, Commander Welke was, in
March last, tried by naval court martial for not fol
lowing red tape, and leaving the poor creatures to
starve or be taken prisoners by rebels. No one
could deny the humanity of the act; but, although
gallantry and humanity approved of it, naval law
did not, and he was found guilty of the second
charge, via : as Disobedience of orders in not re
turning to Vera Cruz," instead of doing which, he
brought the loyal sufferers to New York. For this
offence he was sentenced to be admonished by the
Secretary of the Navy. But as this trial and its
attendant delays occupied some time, the Supply
bad to sail again to the squadron under a new com
mander, and the subject of this sketch, by doing a
brave arid humane action, lost his ship. The re
bellion, however, has given him an opportunity to
have command of a gun vessel. He was but re
cently ordered to the Mississippi flotilla, and ap
pointed to the command of the United States gun
boat Corm/de/et, thirteen guns, and has fortunately
participated in the capture of the rebel Fort Henry.
His name now stands No. 59 on the list.
Lieutenant S. Ledyard Phelps is a native and
citizen of Ohio, and was appointed to the navy from
that State. He entered the service on the 19th of
October, 1841, and received his present commission
on the 14th of September, 185 g. Up to the end of
1860 he had seen but four years' sea service as lieu
tenant, but his total sea service was nearly ten
years. The time spent on nhore and other duty to
that date amounted to seven years and nine months,
and he had been unemployed for nearly two years.
The length of time employed by the subject of this
sketch in the United States service was over
twenty years. fie was on board the sloop St. Marys
from April, 1858. until a short time since, when he
was Vrdercd on epeeial duty to cillginnati, He was
then appointed to the command of the gunboat
Conestoga, nine gang. At the beginning of 1800
his name stood no 183 on the list of lieutenants,
but in the extra navy list he ranks No. 105.
LIEUTENANT GWIN
Lieutenant William Gwin, of the United States
navy, is a native and citizen of Indiana, from
which State he vas appointed to the navy. lie
entered the service on the 7th day of April, 1847,
and received his present commission on the 16th
day of September, 1855. lie has seen about four
years' sea service as lieutenant, and has been over
ten years at sea since he entered the navy. He
has bad abont two years' shore and other duty,
and has been about the same length of time unem
ployed. Hernia appointed to the steam-sloop Sas-
Tizehariria in November, 1859, and en leaving her
was ordered to the Western flotilla. His total ser
vice under the flag of the Union has been nearly
fifteen years. lie is at present in command of the
United States gunboat Taylor, nine guns. On the
Ist of January, 1860, his name stood No. 265 on
the list of lieutenants; in twelve months he had
but risen thirteen in the grade of promotion; but
the rebellion has given him a rapid advance, for
his name now stands about No. 160.
LIEUTENANT SHIER.
Lieutenant Tames W. Shirk, commanding the
gunboat Lextngton, is a native and citizen of
Pennsylvania, and was appointed to the navy from
that State. He entered the service on the 25th of
March, 1849, and was promoted to a lieutenancy
on the sth of November, 1856, He was appointed
to the sloop St. Mary in December,lBsS, making,
with a former voyage, about four years' sea ser
vice as lieutenant. His total sea service is about
ten years, his shore and other duty about thirteen
months, and he has been unemployed about fifteen
months. He has been in the service of the United
States for over thirteen years. On leaving the St.
Marys he was ordered to the - 'freetern flotilla, and
was appointed to the command of the United States
gunboat Lexington, nine guns.
EARTHQUAKES IN CONNECTICUT.-011 Sun
day evening, about eight o'clock, the shock of an
earthake was noticed at several localities in
New london county, Conn. In East Lyme and
Old Lyme it was perceived, lasting three or four
seconds in the latter place. At Colchester it was
quite severe, and excited no little alarm in the
village. A congregation in one of the churches
cut short the service and cut stick for the
door, accomplishing the complete evacuation
Of the building in the quickest time ever
made there in going out of meeting. It seemed
really probable that the house might be thrown
down, so violent was the heaving of the ground
there, as well as in all the neighborhood. People
fled from their dwellings in terror, and sought
the streets. Such a scene was never before
witnessed in Colchester. On Tuesday, the 29th
ult. about half.past seven in the morning, a smart.
shock was felt at Saybrook, Essex, Chester, and
other localities in Middlesex county. It lasted
but a few seconds, however, and was nothing like
so violent as the ene which seems to have made
Colchester the central po - nt of its operations.
WELLINGTON NEVER LOST A GII.N.—It is a
singular fact in this man's history that he never
lost a gun to the enemy. "Returning with him
one day from the hunting field," says Lord Elles
mere, "I asked him if he could form any calculation
of guns he had taken in the course of his career?"
"No," he replied, " not with accuracy; somewhere
about 3,000 I should guess. At Oporto, after the
passage of the Douro, I took the entire siege train
of the enemy ; at 'Vittoria and Waterloo I took
every gun the enemy bed in the lel& After the
battle of Salamanca," he went on to explain,
" three of my guns, attached to some Portuguese
cavalry, were captured in a trilling affair near
Madrid, but they were recovered the next day. In
the Pyrenees ; Lord lull found himself obliged to
throw eight or nine guns over a precipice, but
these were all reeOvere4, and none fell into the
enemy's bands at all."
A HUNTER'S OUTFIT.—Major General Minter,
according to the late famous order issued by him
at Leavenworth, seems to be a good specimen of
the rough-and-ready. Re says:
"The General commanding takes in his valise
but one change or clothing, and no officer or soldier
will carry more."
And then
"The general commanding has applied to tho
Government for six brigadier generals."
This looks more like a fight than anything wo
have heard for a good white; but the proportion of
brigadier generals to linen suggests a reverse of
FalgiaPS &NOW tavern bill—a great deal of bread
and so littlo sac.—Vanity Fair.
TnE VAFNTED "PATRIOTISM" OF REIIEL SOG
nrErts.—The Virginia Legislature ie urged to take
immediate measures fQr adding to the pay of
soldiers, so as to make it at least eighteen dollars
per month. "In no other way," says one of the
rebel journals, " can the Virginia troops be induced
to enlist."
AT 31nuruis, on the 22d, a number of prisoners
escaped by breaking through that miserable abor
tion situated on the bank of the Mississippi river,
called "the guard house." Parties have been sent
in certain directions in search of them, and we have
no doubt of their being successful in bringing the
offenders back to quarters. •
A REBEL STORY.-A gentleman, recently from
Richmond, says that the Rebel I/over:meat has
positive intelligence that France and England will
recognize tho independence of the South in the
spring, and that Davis will foreshadow this assu
rance in his message, to be delivered at his inaugu
ration on the 22d inst.

THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIt. Fobruary 8.1862
The stock market was depressed to-day, partly by the
letter of Air. Thurlow Weed upon the prospects of
French intervention in American affairs, which was
turned to pretty good account by the bear interest. We
have no fears of any immediate movement of this cha
racter on the part of France, whatever might be the
course that Power would take if the spring were
allowed to pass by without some such a decisive
result for our arms as would justify the expectation of a
speedy end to the rebellion, and a resumption of unin
terrupted commerce with all sections of our country. If
a fsi , oiahlo season for military movement against the
bonthem armies and territory is allowed to come
and pass without bringing us clearly near to an
end of the war, we must prepare ourselves for
such action on the part of the European nations
as will seem to them likely to bring about a renewal of
trade and commerce, and a cessation of hostilities. But
it is among the must uulikely things of the future that
such will be the history of the war in this coming spring,
and, in the meantime, it is folly for either stock specula
tors or anybody else to be discounting or anticipating
such an improbable event as French intervention
The uneasy suspense in the minds of the ripple as to
the future courts , of the eurreney of the country, arising
from doubts whether or not the United States treasury
notes would be made a legal tender, gives place to a feel
ing of satisfaction on the part of all loyal parties, and to
great joy among those who expect to he paid for con
tracts or labor made with or done for the Government.
The folly of issuing these notes without making them a
legal tender, of making a paper currency which should
be received by some, and rejected by others, whose potty
interests or disloyal caprice would lead them to refuse and
depreciate it, becomes hourly more apparent.
Gold and silver are undoubtedly tne beet legal tender,
but when these are not to he had, and a resort to paper
currency becomes necessary, the payment or Government
debts in paper not a legal tender 'is little short of robbery.
In default of coin, tho public creditors are entitled to re
ceive the fullest and most perfect substitute or coin that
the Government can devise. And the substitutes would
be neither full nor perfect if they wore not made to be
legally money. They must be such money that the Go.
vernmeut creditors can use them at their full value in
payment of their own debts, without subjection to the
caprice of banks, or the greed of money changers. They
should have such a value that parties making future
contracts with the Government shall not doubt that when
they come to receive their pay, it will be at once availa
ble for payment of their debts. There can be no full and
current circulation of those notes unless they are or ;such
validity that the man who takes thorn shall be able at
once to pay them away again.
A great error is made by come objectors to the legal
tender clause, who look upon the demand-note law as an
isolated measure, standing by itself, instead of in Its right
UkLf Ab only 61% of a series of financial filaanCail. The
system of banking and taxation, now under considera
lion in the Committee of Ways and Means, is the princi
pal of these measures, and its passage, when it has been
fully matured, will no doubt secure the National Trea
sury against any future embarrassment.
A good example Is set by kir. Marsh, preoldmat of the
Erie road, who continues to aid the Government to the
extent of his power by circulating Treasury notes on the
line of hie road, by disbursements, &c. He has thus put
out. within four or live menthe, $860,000.

An extract below, from the New York Evening Post,
shows that the Secretary of the Treasury hat adopted s
plan giving a rest for the temporary surplus of the de
mand notes not rtquired in circulation. 'This measure
will be found very effective in preventing the notes from
gorging in the financial centres, and will help very mate
rially in keeping the notes from depreciation, and thereby
in giving them the widest circulation in the West.
The temper of the Post, *bleb has strenuously opposed
the passage of the demand-note bill, is to be regretted.
That its opposition was the result of a conviction that
only gold and silver should be recognized as money in
law, we do not doubt for a moment ; but since the Com
mittee of Ways and Means and the Secretary of the
Treasury have found it in their opinion necessary, and
Congress concurs with that opinion by passing the law, it
appears to us that the Pest should submit to what it deems
an infliction with better grace. The Post has hitherto
been a staunch and able supporter of the Administration,
and we are sorry now to find in its columns the exposi
tion of feelings which can only tend to embarrass the
policy and delay the action of the Government.
he Secretary of the Treasury has just given instruo.
Cons to the Assistant Treasurer of this port, relative to
the drmand notes now 111 IllaaPt, which must greatly
facilitate the - business of the Government, and at the
same time relieve those banks and individuals who have
been unable to use the notes for several days past, except
at a discount. Mr. Cisco is authorized to receive these
notes on deposit, on ten days' notice, giving for them a
certificate of deposit bearing 5 per colt. interest. the
loan is repayable. of course, in the same kind of currency.
. , . . . .
Thie arrangement Will at once establish harmonious
relations between tile banks and Government, for We
presume most of our bank officers are in favor of it, and
we do not see why it was not miler adopted—as well last
week as now. The friends of the legal•tender bill desired,
perhaps, the continuance of the quarrel between the
banks and the Government, in order to push through
Congress their forced currency bill.
We annex a copy of the certificate which the Assistant
Treasurer will issue to the depositors;
No.—.
OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT TTEASERER
OF THE UNITED STATES,
NEW YORE, ISO-.
I certify, that this day deposited to the
credit of the Treasurer of the United States,
dollars, in United Slates Notes, as a temporary loan, for
v. hide interest at the rate of Five per cent: Der annum
viii be paid, together with the principal, in like currency,
on demand after —days notice, for which I have signed
duplicate receipts. ---
Assistant Treasurer.
The design of some of the banks is undoubtedly to em
ploy these certificates in settlement of balances at the
Clearing House, but this will not probably be acted upon
by the associated banks till the logat-teadrr bill becealca
a law.
. .
Not a little disappointment is felt to-day nt the striking
out from the legal-tender bill the claim directing that
the interest on the public debt be paid in gold. It is
doubtful if the majority in the flouse would hate been
so large bad the bill come np for vote with this import
ant provision kit out, and it is unfortunate that the re
consideration, for this purpose, was permitted. There
are DOW [strong double of the passage of the bill in the
Fenete in this shape, if at all, for it is reported from
Wm -Unstop, on g ood ankitox44., this morning, that the
majority of the k:enate Finance Committee are against
the bill.
Prominent among the first effects of the passage of the
legal.tender bill, is the active demand for gold for Eu
rope. The steamers which leave this port to-day take
out over $1,100,000. The City of Washington, for
Liverpool, has on freight 5071;390 in specie ; the Bare
rfg, for hamburg, $444,513' making a total of e1,110,-
003.
The heavy export does not grow out of any Increased
margin of profits on gold shipments since the legal-tender
bill was passed, but is simply the desire of foreigners to
place their funds on the other side, in view of the ava
lanche of paper at ead.
The stock market is weak and lower today, under the
realizatim a of the "paper money clique," who hare
been the principal buyers of the speculative stocks since
the suspension of the banks. There is no great decline
in price, but the market is inanimate at a reaction of
e,31 per cent. from the highest points touched yester
day.
The weakness of the market is due, in a great measure,
to the doubt hanging over the fate of the legal-tender bill
in the Senate, and rumors of. French intervention in our
affairs.
New 'York Central is quoted dividend off; and sold at
80, equal to 83—a decline of % per cent. since yesterday.
The railroad hoods are again in strong demand for
investment, and prices are higher. The issues of tho
Erie are firm. The thirds are active, selling at 94c094%
on sellers' option, probably for foreign account, to ar
rive within a week or two. Michigan tientral eights sold
at oar.
The list of Government securities is weaker, owing
chiefly to the striking out of the clause providing for the
payment tof the interest in coin. The .7.30 treasury
notes are most affeeteo, fapjng pack to 98098 K, against
99099 X yesterday.
Money is in full demand on call at 6 per cent, with
less freeness of supply than last week. Some borrowers
look for lower rates when the financial policy of the Go
vernment is determined upon and put in operation.
The price of gold remains very firm, with a tendency
upward. The last sales were at 103% 0103,31.

DE. TRALL'S LECTURES IX WASIIINGTOY.—
The course of Lectures, now being delivered by R. T.
Trail, M. D., of New York, have created no little sen
sation in the capital. His riewe of the nature of Disease,
the Acting Remedial, and, indeed, the whole Philosophy
of the Healing Art, are new and original, and, in many
respects, rather startling. He will speak before the
learned and wise men of the nation, in the Smithsonian
Institute, on Wednesday evening, on the subject of The
True Healing Art; or, Hygienic vs. Drug Hedicotion."
GREAT LECTURE BY COLONEL ThoßoE.—This
(Monday) eTruipg, M Concert Hell, Col, T, B, Thorpe,
of Brooklyn, will give his celebrated lecture on "The
Hidden Causes • or, Inside View of the Great Rebellion."
From the great praise lavished upon this lecture by the
New York papers, and tho well-known antecedents of
Col. Thorne, as an artist and man of letters, a rich treat
may be anticipated. The hall will doubtless be crowded
to overflowing, and we would therefore advise our friends
to go early. The lecture will commence at 8 o'clock.
SUPERIOR TE.A 9 AND OLD GOVERNMENT JAVA
COFFEE.—Mr. C. U. Mattson, dealer in fine groceries,
Arch and Tenth streets, has constantly on hand the
finest Oolong, and other popular Teas. at moderate
prices; also, a Supply of prime Old Government Java
Coffee, to which we invite the attention of all lovers of
these delicious beverages.

Prince Salm.Salm, at present in the army, intends

Powers, the celebrated cutter at Stokes' llone
price " Clothing Store, under the Continental," thinks
that, if the poCkete of the soldiers were rifted, the con
tents would go much farther. Be was led to this be
lief by reading of the experiments with rifled ordnance.
Ilke considers the old style of cutting pockets as having
exploded.
TUE NEW DEMAND NOTES.--11l the course
of a few days the new demand notes of the Govern
ment will be out and in circulation. Each bill will
have the legal-tender clause printed Ito back.
It was also suggested to back them with a favorable
notice of the elegant and substantial garments, for aol
diers and civilians, made at the Brown Stone Clothing
Hall of Hoclibill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut
street, above Sixth. Secretary Chase did not favor the
idtai principally, we suppose, Ars the reason that it
would be a work of supererogation to give extraordi
nary publicity to a generally-conceded fact.
