filt VieSfi* TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 186.3 alits We can take no notice oflytanag commu• tiloatlons. We do not return rejected manuscripts, ANT Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parte of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it Will b,e paid for, UN MR FIRST rAua we print a letter from 'one of our ablest citizens in regard to the 'record of Mr. Justice WOODWARD. The 'facts it states every man should remember. 'They cannot be contradicted, and their meaning cannot be misunderstood. We earnestly endorse the argument of our cor respondent, and would especially recom mend it to the supporters of Judge WOOD WARD. Many of them cannot fail to per -ceive its force and truth, and not a few will -be convinced that his election will be in jurßius to the highest interests of the country. The Local Canvass. We are glad to see that the friends of the Union have manifested so much wisdom and courage in arranging the nominations for the - municipal offices. When we con- Sider the temptations that surround all con ventions, and particularly in a time like this, when the prestige of former success might be presumed to have led four friends to negligence, we cannot speak too highly off,what those friends have done. There is so much to be gained fin the coming canvass, and so much to be lost, if loyal men show a want of intrepidity, that any cause which may invite failure is criminal. The people have taken the mat ter of politics into their own hands. They see that much of _our.present.trouble_arises._ 11.1 past - negligence—from-a sentiment of apathy that kept good men away from the convention,,and caucus, and primary elec tion. Bad men assumed power and abused it, merely because the people did not de mand their rights, but permitted adventurers and politicians to steal away their authority rind debase it. In many cases, we have had the mom nful spectacle of valuable and im portant franchises in the hands of men whose ideas of theyublic good were as le gitimate and pure as those of the robber who lies in ambush for the wayfarer, and murders him for his purse. The people have not only been served badly, but, in many cases, this service has been the pretext of treason and disloyalty. So deep ly has this sentiment been imbedded in the management of our State and city affairs ; so completely havelthe m ere:polit, clans and job bers been enabled to assume the mastery of -every organization that was supposed to re present the people's will, that the election , day was merely a record of what had been - determined in the bar-room conclaves of the preceding fortnight. Therefore we hail the nominations of the Union Conven tions with peculiar pleasure, and honor the representatives of the people for having been so true to the people's best interests. As an evidence of what we have said, the names of those gentlemen who have been nominated are sufficient. They contrast re markably with those of the candidates of the Democratic party. Mr. HE.NRY BIIIINI, the candidate for the City Treasuryship, is a gen tleman whose ability, integrity, and general fitness for this responsible office are unques tionable. Few men are so widely and deservedly popular. For City Commis sioner, Mr. Elarturoli is placed in nomi nation ; and if intelligence, uprightness, and energy entitle a man to the respect and confidence of his fellow-citizens, Mr. HAMIL. TON deserves our unhesitating trust. Our next Recorder of Deeds will be Mr. Law's B. BROOMALL, now holding a responsible station in the Mint, and none of his prede cessors will have done more justice to the position. Dr. WILLIAM TAYLOR, the can didate for Coroner, and Mr. GEO. KELLEY, for Prothonotary of the District Court, are both gentlemen whO rank high in their re spective professions, and their election will be for the good of- the entire_ community. Such a ticket cannot fail; for not only the principles of the candidates, but their Per sonal characters, recommend it to all who care for the loyal reputation and the business interests of Philadelphia. -We might continue this enumeration, and review the tickets of the other Conventions, but it is hardly necessary. In the Fifth ward, however, there is a nomination that will show to what a remarkable degree this feeling of reform in politics has extended. Mr. HORACE 13114NEY, Jr., has been placed in nomination for Common Council. We need not say to a Philadelphia public that Mr. BIN NEY is one of our most upright and worthy citizens—a man of purity, piety, ability, cul ture and wealth—the honored representa tive of an honored name,• and one who has refrained from politics because there was nothing in public life that could at all tempt him. The Convention that placed him in nomination merely consulted the public good. It took him front his home and buSiness and bade him enter into the service of the • people, and his no mination is therefore a burden that his neighbors and fellow-citizens have placed upon him. If such a man as Mr. BIN . - Env sought his own tastes or conveni ence he would not be before his townsmen for any position ; but they have rightly judged that public office is not a matter of taste or congeniality, but a duty, solemn and grave, and as such to be accepted by all whom the people may . call upon to serve: We are glad to see this feeling entering into our local politics. It will be better for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania when it be comes universal. The office should seek the man. We shall then be assured that the man is worthy of the office. THIRTY THOUSAND troops are now en camped in New York, sent thither at great inconvenience to the Government, for the purpose of protecting that city from riot, and - robbery, and murder. Had Governor SEYMOUR spoken the word, not one of these soldiers would have left the Army of the Potomac. Yet, with usual effrontery, the disloyal friends of the Governor make the presence of these troops a pretext for de nouncing the Government, and threatening loyal citizens. The Express, of last _eve ning, says : "These things do not last forever. There is a history and a memory to come after all this. The precedent will be as good for us hereafter as it is for Abolitionism now. When we want to kidnap, handcuff; or ohaiii-gang them, we have but to get up a war with the Sioux or Chippewa's, and then martial law and military necessity may encamp so,ooo troops in our then park. and we can defy the habeas corpus and writs of attachment too. The folly of Property in ever setting such precedents of force over and above the Law is inexplicable." So, the party for which the Express speaks does want to kidnap, handcuff, and chain-' gang those whom it' citi.g?Ses to speak of as Abolitionists ? We ask a itta i n to the vindictive spirit which inspires the Abolitionists turn rioters, thieves, and murderers, burn men alive, and kill women and children, we shall acknowledge some justice in the parallel it suggests. REFERRING to GARIBALDI'S letter to the President, the World, always anxious to find the worst motives for honorable actions, says, "the whole thing was evidently got up by Abolition instigation from this side, which seeks to prop up Mr. LINCOLN'S reso lution by bringing this kind of influence to bear upon him." But where is the evi dence ? Will the World state it, or, failing to do so, retract its slander and confess its !meanness ? We do not envy the mind -which can see nothing spontaneous in expression of his sympathy with our cause, but hastens to attribute it to •" Aboli,tion instigation." 1 1'110 RratmoND Enquirer states that among the, negroes captured by General STUART, in Pennsylvania, are twenty men, 'women, and children, who were born and bred in this State, and whom, therefore, the 'South cannot have the most shadowy pre text of a claim. These colored Pennsylva nians were harmless non-combatants, and their Seizure:wit - 9 in direct violation of the "usages of civilized warfare,"of which we have heard so mucli .recently. i . They must be returned• If they are sold; or kept in unjirecolifmement, we' trust the Govern raentwill retaliate with promptness and se verity. A Submarine Cable to India. NotwithsWading the fact that no less than forty-four submarine cables have been suc cessfully laid, and are to-day in actual ope ration in different parts of the world, the laying of such cables in deep water is still regarded, by some of the most intelligent electricians, as more or less an experiment, and the same feeling of distrust, if it may be so termed, is shared by the greater por tion of the community. It may be recol lected that some few months ago Mr. CYRUS W. FIELD visited our principal citizens, with the view of demonstrating the entire feasi bility of laying and operating a new Atlantic cable, and of obtaining subscriptions' to the enterprise. Notwithstanding Mr. FIELD'S very satisfactory array. of statistics, and his very intelligible explanation of the reasons which led to the failure of the first tele graphic line between England and Ame rica, and notwithstanding, too, the marked interest exhibited in the matter by .that energetic organization, the Board of Trade, there was actually very little money forthcoming when the time -to sub scribe arrived ; not half as much as we have seen subscribed to the 5-20 Government loan in a single day. But confidence in the Government is one thing, and confi dence in the Atlantic cable is quite another ; and while all men, who have any informa tion upon the matter, are willing to concede that very many submarine cables have been laid, are in operation to-day, and have been in operation for years, such • men are quite as willing to concede that many sub': marine cables have been laid that are not in operation to-day, and are not ineopera tion for years. The people are never so sanguine in these matters as the philoso phers. The philosophers only need pen, ink, and paper, to demonstrate the certainty of success; but the. people, amazing =4,l2tuconcsa — ce4 stolidity, do not in - (lined to invest, upon the basis of such de monstration. We may laugh at their in credulity and call it absurd, but neither ar gument .nor ridicule seems able to drive them from a position fortified by the prece dents of numerous failures ; and all the sa vans can hope to do is to wait until the people gain confidence, and voluntarily come from the fastnesses of their timidity. It may be taken as 'a settled axiom, that any man who subscribes to an enterprise like the Atlantic cable, will either do so un der protest, or with an air of Christian re signation. The professional speculators will never risk their money on the issue of a sci entific problem. At the same time, strange as it may seem, no sane man doubts that America and Europe will one day be in elec trical communication. All are willing to concede the end ; very few are willing to supply the Means. Why is it so ? It is be cause the people have no sufficient data at present to enable them to decide for them selves whether there would be any greater chance of success with a second transatlan tic cable than there was with the first. We are glad to see that our British friends have in hand an enterprise whose result will be fraught with much valuable information upon this subject. Undeterred by the failure of the Red Sea cable, the English Government is about to lay a new line of telegraph between Downing street and India. We find the an noun cerne,nt of the fact, and some interesting details of the proposed work; in the London Times of the 04h instant. The Tinos says : "The Indian Government in making their cable have proceeded so quietly that, except to a few electricians and scientific men, the announcement that a cable to connect this country with Calcutta is nearly made will, we fancy, be quite a surprise to our readers," The announcement, we think - , will create quite as much surprise, if it will not awaken as much interest, in this country, and we shall therefore give the substance of the Times article. The enterprise is purely a governmental one. The India Board have placed the general control of the line under Lieut. Colonel PATRICE STEWART, R. E., an officer 'as well known for his gallan try during the Indian mutiny as for the great services he rendered the Rsitiaa Government by the - construction and mainteicallee of the telegraph lines through the wildest districts of Central and East In dia. Sir CICARLES BRIGHT and Mr. LATIMER, CLARICE have the immediate electrical and engineering superintendence of the line, and under their supervision the cable is now approaching completion at North Wool wich. To preserve perfect insulation, the, line is cased aro twelve No: 7 gauge hard drawn iron wires, thickly galvanized; to prevent corrosion. The cable is then thickly coated with two servings of tarred hemp yarn, overlaid with two coatings of a patent composition invented by the superintendent of the work. It consists of mineral pitch or asphalt, Stockholm tar, and powdered silica, mixed in certain proportions,- and laid on in a melted state. While warm it is passed between rollers, which give it a round,- smooth surface. When cold this forms a massive covering of great strength and per fect flexibility, impervious to water, and in capable of being uestroyed by minute ani malcule. This in brief is the nature of the materials cpmposing the cable. The copper conduct ing wire is composed I d four segments, drawn into a hollow tube in such a manner as to appear like a solid wire. By this means all the advantages of a strand wire are combined with the condensed bulk and small surface of a solid one. This wire, which is nearly one-eighth of an inch in diameter, is covered by the Gutta Percha Company with four distinct coats of gutta percha, and four coats of Chatterton's com pound laid on alternately, after which it re ceives the outer covering already described. Over nine hundred miles of the cable have already been made, costing as nearly as pos sible, one thousand dollars per mile—the cheapest, strongest; and, electrically speak ing, the most perfect cable that has ever yet been made. Three hundred and fifty miles only remain to be completed,, and the expe.- dition will start for its" destination next Month. The Times says : "We have hith erto spoken of this cable as the Indian wire, but, strictly speaking, it ought to be called the Persian Gulf line, and it is down that route it is to be laid to connect Kurrachee with the present land line to Constantino ple." By a glanCe at the map, however, it . will be seen that this will necessitate an overland telegraph from Bagdad to the head of the Persian Gulf, which is a sort of " disputed ground," as the various Predatory tribes of Arabs claim a sove reignty, and fight for it with more or less success. Over these outlaws the Turkish Government, it is feared, may be unable to 'exercise any restraint. To make assurance doubly sure, therefore, another land line will very probably be taken from Bagdad, over the frontier of Per sia to Teheran, thence to Ispahan, and so on by Shiraz down to the shore of the Per sian Gulf at Bushire. This course strikes us as being rather a roundabout one, but it will undoubtedly be much more secure against Arab depredations. The total cost of the submarine portion of the cable will be less than two millions of dollars. As the vessels will probably leave England about the end of next month, arriving on the scene of their operations in the e Persian Gulf in January or February—the best time of the year in which to lay the cable—and as the process of submerging it and securing the shore ends is not likely to occupy more than a month or So, we shall soon hear what 1 success has attended this interesting experi -1 ment, and be prepared to piofit by the expe rience. THE SHANSPEABB TER-CENTENARY CELE BEATIorr.-- SHAKSPEARE having been born on the , 23d of April, 1564, at Stratford-on - Avon, the ter-centenary of the - world's greatest man will be celebrated next year at the place of his birth. He had just com pleted his 52d year when he died, and his birthday Was also the day of his death. The whole world will do honor to the memory of this universal poet. In England, general preparations are being made for the festival among scholars, artists, and public men. The National Shakspeare Committee is rapidly' increasing in strength. Mr. ALFRED TENNYSON has accepted office as a vice presidenVand Sir RionAnn Mint, C. 8., as one of tbe trea surers. The following noblemen and gen tlemen have been added to the committee : The Duke of Cleveland, Lord Ifou'ornoN, Sir DAVID BREWSTER, M. LOUIS GALL/WV, Professor DINGELBTEDT, the Rev. HENRY ALLEN, Mr. Alderman BALOMONS, M. P., S. A. HART, Esq., R. A., (1. A. SALA, and others. The, organization is extending into the country, the colonies, and foreign lands. Nolwithstanding the presence of our great civil War, the prospect of so marked an event in literature as this celebration will be duly appreciated by American scholars. Whatever the attitude of the English Go ve.rnment toward this country, the scholars of England and A.inerica are friends in the cauK-- - of freedom, and kindred in the memory of ORARRPRARR. "Now, then, I would like to ask a question, and any man of common sense can answer it. I would likeito know how a war can be carried on in any other way, than by putting the money and the men into the hands of the Executive? Is there any other way? Any man who is finding fault with it is finding fault, really, with doing the thing at all. He means that it shall not be done at all. That is the English of it." Judge COLLAMER ought not to ask such questions, unless he is desirous of provok ing the opponents of the Government. Go vernor Savmouu's favorite method of put ting the men into the hands of the lawyers, and Mr. VALLAZTDIGICAM'S refusal to give the Government any means whatever, are the Democratic answers. They would carry the war on, not to its triumphant close, but a disgraceful death. • Tirn EVEN'T of the dramatic season is the reappearance in New. York of our dis tinguished townsman, Mr. EDWIN FOUREST, in the character of _Richelieu, last evening. As part of the fame of Philadelphik the career of this eminent actor is of special interest to our citizens, and we trust it will, not be long before we can announce his' Shakspearean performances in. this city. We hope that, in the new engagement of Mr. FORREST in Philadelphia, he can be induced to recreate the long-neglected characters of Ti 911091, and Coriolovia—parts so appropriate to his genius. Buell per formances would render essential service to the stage. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL.” WASHINGTON, August 31, 1833 I wish all the doubting men of Pennsyl vania- could visit the army before election day. But I. wish I could add that the dis loyal party leaders could safely do the same thing. The one class would find all their doubts passing away, and the other would be filled with remorse aird shame. The strongest feeling of the Union soldier is that of contempt and hatred of the sympathizer with treason, who, in the security of his dis tant home, Opposes the war, obstructs the Ad ministration, rejoices over our defeats, and mourns over our Dietaries. This is a plain and practical fact, illustrated and confirmed every hour of every day. I saw it in my visit to the headquarters of the Pennsylvania Re serves, on Friday last. That was a visit full of pleasing and significant events. You have had them described and detailed in the report of the Morning Chronicle. The moral of the affair, and the thoughts it suggested, cannot be fairly described. When Governor Curtin appeared, he was welcomed by the troops with the wildest enthusiasm. Not a man I met that did not speak of him as the soldier's friend, and as the earnest friend of the Government and the.war. Of course, you noticed the strong and decided manner in which General Meade and General Craw ford repeated this sentiment, and expressed the wish that he might be re-elected in October. But you cannot conceive how these utterances were received by the mili tary. audience. I did not see a faee or hear a voice that was not a silent or eloquently favorable response. Crawford and Meade, like the &serves, are Penn sylvanians—Crawford, a former Demo crat ; Meade, a former Whig ; and they both felt as if the election of Curtin was as essential to them as a great victory in the field. It is needless to give you the reason, for that is as patent and plain as if it were written on the very arches__ nf the They_nreferrea. 41,7_ re-election --. or their friend, Governor Curtin—their open, manly, and self-sacrificing friend—to the election of their equally open and out spoken foe. That is all of it. - Before a fact like this, no party feeling and no bitter prejudice can stand. Now., if the soldiers feel it, and yield to it, and proclaim it, - what shall be said of the safe men in private life, who refuse to be im pressed by it ? What of the friends, and neighbors, and relatives of the soldiers, not in the army, who refuse to recognize and act by it ? But these are useless questions. They will be answered on election clay, and in so emphatic and decided a manner as to leave to the historian no cause for doubt as to the opinion of the American people IN THIS MIGHTY STRIFE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND SLAVERY. This echo . of the feelings of the army will sound like an anthem and an admonition through endless generations. As the past has taught, so will the future confirm. The war party in this country, fighting even in a. doubtful war, has ever been the successful party. The patriotic bullet has ever been sustained and followed by the patriotic ballot. And if this is true of fights like that with Mexieo, what should we say of the falterers, and pal terers, and doubters, and traitors, in this stupendous struggle ? At the risk of offending Senator Comess,, of Califor nia, I - will take this occasion to copy an extract from a letter lately addressed to me in reply to one of my own. And I particularly commend it to the Democrats, and, above all, to the Irish Democrats of this country. SenatOr Corn:less was born in. Ireland, and was elected as a Democrat. Remembering my lamented and never-to be-forgotten friend, Broderick, and be lieving Mr. Conness to be of the same . school of iron and heroic patriots, I wrote him a letter, in which I re ferred to that great man, who was mur dered for his hostility to slavesw. I copy as -much of his reply as will show that the new California Senator knows what Democracy means, and is not afraid to preach it : Since I have thought at all, I have religiously be• lieved in universal human liberty. For a while I restrained myself, whether rightfully or not, in obe dience to a desire for peace and to the obliwations I felt I owed to the country as I had founeit. The enemies of right, human progress, ;Ind of civil liber ty everywhere, have broken the peace I had fos tered, and have relieved me of the obligations I have felt, by their malignant assault upon our Govern ment. I would be leas than a man did I not feel that everything must be done to strengthen the hands of those through whose acts alone we can save this great nation from destruction. Ido not feel entitled to any credit for this. It is the simple duty of the citizen. It is true that all do not perform their duty. I do not know that ova virtue is thereby magnified. I have always been a Democrat. I was only a Democrat because Democracy meant the greatest extension of civil rights to the human kind consistent with civil order. We were working out that simple problem peacefully until this ivar was made upon us to sup plant liberty by slavery, and - to degrade us in the estimation of mankind, Our enemies ,have forced upon us a contest between slavery and freedom, be tween barbarism and civilization, which they have said shall be determined by blows. They are dis covering, what sensible people understood before, that blows can be received as well- as given. The . . . "pine" is twining against the palm," and lacy " God help them" to a severe and speedy punishment for their great, unnatural crime against civil liberty! There are those who profane and arrogate to themselves the term Democracy, which they un dertake to use in restraint of the Government in this great light to weaken its arm and to para lyze its limbs. 0 what a cruel and base use do they make of the Democratic name ! When, before this, where human rights were involved, were the DeraocraOy of the nation not en the warpath? Heretofore the name was the symbol of courage. They would now use it - to corer crime and cowardice. Those who are engaged In it will yet wish they had never been born. You are right in saying that Broderick was a he. roic and intrepid man. Cowards should see in leis case hew the simple virtue of a true courage elevates cha racter. Broderick, though dead, lives green in the memo- ry of the people. The man who resolutely opposes crimes against liberty cannot die. Ris sny proudest recolledion that I aided in sending Broderick to the Se nate, where, in the teeth of paitiaan rancor and the illegitimate exersise of power, . In behalf of his country he asked that the future historian should not charge to the country the crimes then committed in Kansas, but to " a malignant old man, trembling and tottering on the verge of the grave."

Special Despatches to Th PreiVe Captrire of a Blockade-Rirmitr. The Navy Department has received lafermaqlorr of the capture of the brig Atlantic, by the' 'United. States steamer ririncess•Royal, off the RicrGrandly Mexico. From the statement of Acting Master Quinn' late in command of the gunboat - Antonica, it appears that the Atlantic hail cotton, on board, direcrfrom the TCXRD shore, and the captain of the brirtold him be would swear *the fact, and if a private in terview could be grantvi it wonlit be to the adorn tage of the United State's: The captain's singular proceeding was, he says, Ix' consequence of a ints. understanding between him and the - parties charter ing the vessel. He states tkat he was taken into- Key West in this same Atlantic• while bound fort Texas, by a United States stetun-vessel, as a prize, and lay there thirty.six days T. but he was "smart enough to fool the authorities,"" notwithstanding he . had contraband of war on board. He escaped from there and afterwards sued the United States, and obtained a judgment'for $lO,OOO. He then went off and delivered his eargo.all right, being sent to Brownsville, Texas, via , blatamoros, Mexico. The captain of the vessel further said, "If you don't look out VII . fool you again. Rhave been in such business a long time, having run therblookade during the Russian war, and if you are• not very sharp, I'll get to Windward of you again.”' EAGGAItT, of New York, now at Natamoros, can testify that the brig Atlantic purchased her cot• ton at Brownsville, Texas. The Cayuga was in sight at the time of the capture. The Atlantic has been sent to New Orleans for adjudication. She hails from Nassau. The above facto are communicated by Commander Viromercv of the Princess Royal. Acting Master Sorim, commanding, the steamer Bermuda, communicates the following captures : On the 14th instant, the British schooner Carmine, loaded with 160 bales of cotton, and bOund froth Vo lasco, Texas, to Balize, Honduras. On the 15th, fell in with tho British serhooner Artist, from Nassau. When hailed she said she was from Havana, for Matomoros. Having boarded he; he was informed that the captain was dead, and there being no navigator, they had lest their reckoning. Commander Swirl; however, found the chronometer worked up to the 15th Inst., and the octant set at meridian on that day. She WMI loaded with liquors, cigars, medicines, Etc., and he felt jus tified in seizing her as a lawful prize. Conviction and Sentence. Mr. C.

SIR : Your letter of the• 21st inst., respecting the nuncupative will of Williams, a sailor from the Congress, who died at the naval asylum in Phila., 4.lelphia, is received. The case presented by you in behalf of the legatee is a strong and equitable one. But a long-standing rule has been absolute, not to pay arrears due a soldier or sailor to the legatee under a nuncupative will; and, in April, .1847, the Secretary of the Navy issued a regulation in regard to seamen and marines dying In hospitals (whose cases were not expressly embraced in the former regulation, which spoke only of seamen and marines in actual service), direct. ing that 'no payment should be made under their wills, unless such wills were in writing and attested by an officer. - There has not been any departure from a compli. since with;this rule .in a single instance within my knowledge ; and meritorious, as I have no doubt the claim is presented by you, it cannot be allowed. - Very respectfully, J.N.BRODHEA.D, Comptroller: F.n . stunn Bniox, Pau., Philadelphia. -- General Fremont, it is stated, has succeeded in adjusting all the difficulties heretofore surrounding the IVlariposa grant, and has settled all of his Cali fornia business, which leaves him over a Million and a half dollars' worth of property.

The Fate of Charleston. From tho Atlapta (Geo. )-Appeal, August 20. The fate of tbe city is as yet problematical, though there are many of our best thinkers who are of the opinion that its fall is only a question of time. The. ordeal which Fort Sumpter and Fort Wagner are now undergoing is a most trying one, and if trief successfully resist the terrible onslaught it will bee wonder and a miracle. But be the fate of the city what it may, we do tot regard the fortunes of the Confederacy as in, the least affected by it. As a point of interest or, im portance, it does not compare with that of Fort Donelson, Pillow, Vicksburg, or. New Orleans. It would prove of little strategic value to the enemy, as he could hot make it a base of future operations, or turn it to any advantage whatever reduced to ashes, as it will be before permitted to fall into his possessich. The moral effect of such a cala- Mity would doubtless, for a time, be depressing upon the people and the country, and hence. we feel a deep solicitude for its fate, and sin cerely hope that, through the skill of our oat cers and the bravery and energy of our troops, the proud old city may survive as a living monument to the courage fortitude, and heroism of her people anti noble defenders. A successful repulse of the enemy at this, point, notwithstanding his gigantic preparations and herculean efforts to reduce the place, will undoubtedly have a most beneficial in• fiueneef upon our troops in other fields, as well as upon the country at large, and in this point of view, a very deep interest is felt by every orte in the ulti mate fate of the city. The next ten days, in all pre. bability, will decide this. Let it be remembered in our prayers tomorrow. New Qrleans.l3auk llepasits. General Banks, on the llth ultimo, issued the fol lowing order relative to the bank Oeposite of enemies to the Government : The several banks and banging corporations in the city of New Orlean , „ will, without delay, pay over to Colonel Holabird, Chief Quartermas ter, or to alleb officers; of the Quartermaster's partmeOlis he may designate, all moneys in their possession belonging to, or standing upon their Nooks to the credit of any person registered as an enemy of the United States, or engaged in any man ner in the military, naval, or civil service of the so called "Confederate States," or who shall have Zy;;, , p, or may hereafter be, convicted of rendering any'aid or e ,3lniort to the enemies of the United Stak and all moneys in their peaseision, or stand ing qn their books to the credit of any corpora tion; sedation, or pretended Government in hos tility to the United States.

ATM* aFaneral Ransom's headquarters, the other day, I saw a graphaired man, beat with age, coming feebly up to the porch. Ifa asked if he might come in. ,‘ Certainly, air, if you have business here." He came tottering in, and stated his business to an aid. He wished to enlist in the United States army ! "But you are too old." "I am only sixty." " But you are too feeble." "I think I could drive a team, or cook. I have come thirty-three miles on a straight line to see you, and I wish to live and die with you. These Secession devils out yonder have just worried my life out of me—bothered me, cursed me, stole me poor, tried to force me into the rebel service; swear they will force me in yet. That's a pretty flag over the porch. I haven't seen that flag in many a weary day. I saw it in Jackson's time, in the war of 1812." The old man was assured of protection without enlistment, and went on his way. Our troupe here are under very strict orders in re gard to marauding, and I have as yet heard of no great injury being done to private property. Now and then a peach tree suffers, or a watermelon '" perishes everlastingly," but on the whole the dis cipline of the soldiers in this respect is good. Those who complain that an army is not perfectly virtu ous, =at - remember that 10,000 men represent the male adult population of a city of 50,000 souls, and in what city or that size do you find complete free dom from crime? And so far as quiet stealing goes, the soldier gets alarmingly skilful. " Stra tegy, my boy," becomes an element of his larce nies. It is a fact, I believe, that a party of the Stir Kansas once stole a grave. How?—you ask. In this way : Some members of the 2d Wisconsin had to bury a comrade, and dug a grave for the solemn purpose. Some members of the sth Kansas, having the same melancholy office to perform for one of their deceased companions, watched a chance, and while the detail of the 20 Wisconsin had gone for the Wisconsin corpse, took possession of the grave, and buried their own inanimatejayhawker therein. I call that the gravest offence, in its way, on record. Mr. Brown, who :had a lunaber yard in Natchez, and a beautiful residence under the hill, was a good deal astonished the other day by the rigors of war. The Federal quartermaster Rent down a detail with '-- draw away some of this lumber. Mr. B. 'surcbasers. rth $3O a thoUSand. fancied they Came Some of this, 0801110 j ° some $50." " Well," said the officer, "I guess take 'some of the $5O sort. Load on, boys." "But," said Brown, "it ;should be measured first " And at that instant it dawned upon the mind of the man of boards that perhaps Uncle . Sam, the of fended One, was seizing the lumber !

The Governor Is at work with the .most unremit ting, zeal and labor, by day and night, scarcely allow ing himself time for meals or the most limited' amount of sleep, so entirely is he devoting himself to the interests of Kansas, and especially to put the State on a tooting to meet the present fearful , crisis. A CATHOLIC ORGAN ON SLAVERY.--The Catholic' Telegraph, of Cincinnati, edited by Rev. Edward Purcell, brother to Archbishop Purcell, publishes an editorial, in its issue of the 26th inst., in which the cowardice of those people who are frightened by the term " Abolitionist" is exhibited in the moat scathing language. The Telegraph says, speaking of slavery : "We never raised a hand against it;, no word of any Catholic editor assailed it, so long as it would be unjust and illegal to do so ; but now that it is dead—dead by the act of its admirers—we will not consent to see its body festering on the highways. "Let it be buried out of sightforever. Let it rest with all its" honors in the grave ; let its memory fade from the recollection of men. It was an out rage against humanity such as the history of no oth er people could exhibit. There was something man ly in the old custom of reducing to slavery him whose sword had been beaten down by a stronger arm on the.batttle• field ; there was a show Of justice in re ducing to bondage the debtor who could not pay his. creditor ; but for American slavery there was no ex cuse!' It was a monstrous crime; front the seizure of the African in his own land to the moment of his death, when his body was wasted by toil; rather than disease, to uphold the luxury of a master " Well, it has fallen, and we are ealled•Abolitioa• lei, because we refuse our consent to its resuscita• tioti ! We are proud of being called so, under cir cumstances so creditable to the mind• and heart. May we ever deserve the name! We will bear its stigma joyfully through life, and carry it into eter nity with honor. We struggle in a holy cause—the cause of religion and-of the human race." .a NEW COPPERHEAD THEOLOGIAN.—One Philip Knahperberger, of Tuscarawas county, Ohio, has written " Inquiry into the Bights -of Holding Negroes as Slaves," substantially proven and made to appear from natural facts and copious extracts from the Bible. Here is one of his texts :• "Matthew, vii. Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them." Here is Mr. P. X.'s, exposition:. "We do not wish negroes should free us, so under the.precept, or by the precept, we are not bound to free them. It is. only what we wish others. should do unto us, that -we are commanded to. do unto them. The precept applies only to reciprocal duties, and none else." This may be excellent logic. Let us apply it in another case : We do not wish Vallandigham to re lease us from punishment for treason c so, under the precept, or by the precept, we are not bound to help release him. COPVERHEAD LOGIC.—" In this great (Aid* of the conntres history," says a newspaper which is annious that the policy of the wan shall be abaft doped, and the rebels be permitted to return uncon ditiorsally to their plotting in the Union, " he is the best patriot, and best serves the republic, who. is most free from the taint of selfishness." TherefOre, it argues, let us make Fernando Wood Speaker- The grounds are three-fold: first, .patriotism; second, his service to the country ; and third, his freedom from the taint of selfishness. Not to put too fine a point upon it, if. these are the reasons for elebting him; how soon is he likely to be elestedi The truth is, if Jeff Davis has taught us in, these bloody years nothing more than to confide in Fer nando Wood, we deserve to have him for Speaker. —l4arper's Weekly, . • V.

Juazez Reported a Fugitive From Mexican journals of the 18,t e h, the folloral , la extracted : An expedition had a`m,ried to occupy Tampico. It was rumored that Don Benito Juarez haMbeen preparing to proceed to- Matamoros or New Leon, hie object being to talcs refuge in Tdkas ; but-it was thought he would not be well received by triwrebels, whom ha had offered.to oppose, in -accord snith Pre sident Lincoln. The Mexican journal, - the Estafette, in, an article abusive of Juarez and his Government, uses the fol lowing language: - Their principal hope today lies in aid from North America. Whatever may be, in present circum stances, the embarrassments of the• Washington Cabinet, it will not readily conform itself to the French occupation and the establishment of an Em pire in Mexico, The Government of , Juarez, all dis honored as it in, is still, in the eyesof the Northern cepublMans, the last hope of the Monroe doctrine, the great rkeam of Anglo-Saxon supremacy, which is the more cherished the nearer it approacheaex- Unction. The Mexican question will soon he for the Lincoln Cabinet a subject of the first order, and the hostility of the North will break out, according to the progress of the American civil war, to mena cing notes, in loans of arms and money, or in fili• bus tering expeditions, authorized by Fedesal'rulers. The more the annihilation of the remains of the juarist army is hastened, the less risk 'will there be of a conflict with North America. Ws have, there fore, heard with grc,s.t pleasure of an approaching campaign in the interior, Address of Governor Plerpoint to the Pea- pie of Virginia. Governor rierpoint, says the Alexandria Gazette, has issued a proclamation announcing That, in "par imance of en act of the General Assembly, passed February 5, 1863, authorizing the Executive to se lect some point, and establish it, by proclamation, as the capital of the State," he has "chosen the City of Alexandria for the purpose contemplated in the act above referred to." He has also issued the fol lowing address to the people of Virginia : In establishing the seat of government at Alexan dria, I hope to be brought into nearer contact with the people ; to give personal attention as far as pos sible to the rights of the citizens ; to assure all of my sincere determination to restore harmony and good will, as far as I can, between the civil and military authorities. In those portions of the State occupied by the military, and in which civil government has not been established under the authority of the re organized government of Virginia, the people will have to endure military rule and submit to the or ders of the generale commanding the military depart ments. In sections in which the restored Government has been organized by thesAction of the various civil officers required by the laws of the State, it is ex pected that the said officers will discharge the duties of their respective offices in conformity with said laws. In the discharge of their respective duties there need be no conflict between the civil and mili tary officers. that the enactments of the civil authority shall he enforced by officers elected by the people therefor. When, however, resistance to such autluirity is at tempted, the posse comitalus is brought into requisi tion ; and, it that prove insufficient, as a last re. source, the aid of the military is invoked to enforce the laws and secure the subordination of the vi cious. It sometimes happens that, among the large num ber of army followers, many evil-dispoked persons are found attempting, for the sake of lucre, to intro duce demoralizing influences among the soldiers; and hence a more rigorous police system and more revere and summary punishments than are known -to our mild system of civil law are necessary. These departures from civil usages may seem harsh; but it should be remembered that the Government owes to the soldier, as well as the citizen, all the protec tion within its power against the avarice and de moralizing influences of the corrupt. I am happy to be able to say that the President of the United States manifests the most lively desire for the restoration of order in this State, and a dis position to rnlet, by every means at his command, to restore the civil government and produce har mony. ln view of the great fact, which must be apparent to every observant mind, that the force of the rebel lion has expended itself, having wrought great mis chief in the destruction of life and property, and that the leaders of it will soon be fugitives from thejus tice impending over them, I most earnestly invite the co-operation of all right-minded men and women in my ardent desire to restore-peace and security to each county and neighborhood in the Common wealth, assuring all that I have no other object in view than the present welfare and future prosperity of my native State. F. 11. PIERPOINP. Ttre Story of a Reitgee. A writer in the Lynn Reporter gives the following authentic narrative of one Mr, Bradburn, from Vir ginia "A short time since I made the acquaintance of a refugee from ' Dixie,' and, thinking you might bein. terested in some of his stories, I propose to write to you a small part of what he tells me. The man is an ornamental painter by trade, and before the war he was getting a salary of twelve hundred per allatlf!,.in. the employ of one the railroads running' Muth from g He resided with his family in the city of Petersburg, about twenty-five miles from Richmond. When the war ;:,;.vie. put he Was a strong Union man, and when Davis's proclamation was issued to warn all Union men to leave the South, he was one who was caught in the trap. He made appli cation for a peso s and thereupon was arrested and sent to prison, where he staid some months, is company with many others. After a time, how ever, he was liberated, and went home to find him- self a poor man. He had, before his imprison ment, by guidance and industry, laid by the sum of seventeen hundred dollars ; but now he is not worth a cent. He has had very little employment since he went to prison, and his property, having been all converted into Confederate money, dwin dled away rapidly. About two months ago, he managed to get his wife and children across in a litifi-of truce boat from Norfolk, and since then he has been trying to get himself across the lines, and succeeded in getting into the Federal camp on . Thanksgiving day, which - he says was- truly a thanksgiving day to him. He was well known -in Petersburg as a Union man, but, he was not alone, as he says two-thirds of the citizens of that place were Union men, as proved by the last ballot (for a convention) before the secession of the State. He says that there are Union clubs, or leagues, now existing in that city and throughout the State, but- they have not the power yet to strike. The Union men are waiting for the support of the Federal arms to obtain the ugper hand, and hold th Pn0 , 1"1".- He was a meinner of a Union lesella in Petersburg, Which compriied about fo huored me/numb. They used to meet in small ba da of fifteen or twenty, at private residences. The first rebel nag raised in their city was torn down, the staff split in pieces, and the pieces worn as a sort of Union badge by those who laad a hand in the job, and he was one. He thinks that if a fair and impartial vote could be taken from the people of Virginia and North Carolina, the re suit would be an overwhelming majority for the Union. He says the people—the sensible people—are wholly disgusted with the Confederacy, and will get out of it, sonie way, as soon as the Unes can be crossed, even if they do obtain independence. He says the rebel army is wholly demoralized, and that the soldiers would be glad to give the Federals a victory if they would take it. Obituary - . Mostly, THE GuEnlLLA.—Major John S. Mosby, chief of the guerilla forces operating in the vicinity of the Alexandria and Orange Railroad, was a na tive of Virginia, and was but a young man when he assumed the command of a guerilla comny as its captain, operating as-a part of Major General Stuart's rebel cavalry.- This company was but small in numbers, but made up in q,uicknesa of manoeuvre what it lacked in that respect. One of the most successful otMosby's many dashing expeditions was the one made into Fairfax Court Rouse during March last, on which occasion he captured General- Stoughton while surrounded by his forces, took him out of his bed, at headquarters, and carried him off to Richmond. At thin - time he was in search of the acting general of the Union cavalry— Colonel Wyndham—who had been called to Wash ington, and so escaped the trap. Mosby, however, captured his assistant adjutant" general, and his Austrian aid, Baron Wordener. The band, who were but twenty-nine in number, secured and car ried oft'a large number of horses belonging to Union oilleers and cavalry at the same time that they se. ecured the above-named and thirty other- prisoners. General Stuart, in his official-report and general "orders, describes the feat as " unparalleled in the war ;" but since that time Kilpatrick, Griersoa, Cornyn and others, have thrown such feats into the shade. - - . Shortly after that occasion Mosby waspronaoted to the rankof major, and his company, with that of Captain White, was formed into a battalion, seeking recruits among the farmers and their sons in the counties bordering along the railroad lines. These forces have been continually acting upon the out skirts of our army, but more especially operating against the communications between Washington and the main Army of the Potomac., never daring to meet any very large organized force, but ready to at tack trains, Sic., when unprotected. General Stahel, while commanding the cavalry in that vicinity, on several occasions gave chase to Mosby 's band, but no sooner were they attacked than they at once disperSed, Scattering in all-directions, only to meet again and organize at some preconcerted point. .-One of the more recent raids of nfosbps cavalry was made against a sutler's train tkning the present month, on which occasion he succeeded in capturing about fifty sutler's wagons, several of the men, and part of thesmall guard. A force was sent out to re capture the men and their property, when the gue rill at led our nice, after a running fight, into an am bush, and caused them to suffer considerably in killed and wounded. During, this contest it is re pelted that.Pdesby received the Wollnde, from thka effecta,of which he supposed to have died. Markets by Telegraph.

Naw YORK, Aught 31, 1863, THE DRAFT The draft in this city having been completed,- the normal state of Mental quietude, or as much of it ae can ever obtain in a great metropolle, is restored; Again we breathe freely ; again the negro walks our streets tn security ; again we call ourselves orderly and loyal men. Let it not be presumed, however, that the St. Bartholomew spirit is chilled and dead, for it is ndt. The Mobenen still hold their meetings ; still threaten to renew the work of the torch and bludgean, when the Government shall undertake to compel the drafted men to enter the depleted ranks of its armies. But we have lost f. faith in these menaces already ; whether wisely or not, remains to be seen. The oaths; the Menaces, which for the past two- weeks' have been heard on every side, have not been fulfilled, and we are die poeed to refer them only to the vaporing infection caught by the Copperheads from their more manly colleagu ea at the South. Exemption claims are now the order of theday, and the melancholy and' heretofore unsuspected ' truth is now becoming painfully apparent, that we have but few Americardicitizens amongus. Every body is an alien ; everybody never " declared' his in . tentions ;" everybody speaks- significantly about hie consul, who, in the words of Mr. Guppy's friend, I "won't stand no hi-god nonsense, you know." Be. sides this, everybody is halt, lame, and blind e and :has a widowed mother dependent on him'foe sup - port; everybody never lived here, or is somebody else, or resides in Canada. This sudden and whole sale discovery of alienage is, to , say the least; cu rious, and the chronic debility of metropolitans is suggestive of an alarming degree of physical degene ' racy. The developments establiah one serious fact, which will be the fruitful cause of unfortunate re sults : New York will send buta-handful of men to the army under the draft. Even this handful would never be forthcoming had our Common Council succeeded in carrying out its nefarious plane•for nullifying the act, or could our excellent Governor have full scope for his whining foolishness. Thus far the Democratic authorities of both State and city have thrown every obstacle in the way of its cesful enforcement, which political iniquity andun ecrupulous opposition could suggest Every rioter, with his hands imbrued in innocent blood ; every de serter, every coward, who has fallen into the hands of- the police, has been the object of dismal spume thy among them; every effort of the Govern ment to arouse its recreant sons to a sense of their duty in this fearful crisis of the country, has been falsified and met with a sneering malignity and spirit of perversion. But, thank heaven! these bolts of fury have fallen harmlessly, and the insane ragefiand bloodthirsty doctrines of the Copperneads have proven but a fearful reversion to themaelves. The firmness of the Aministration, and the ueshrink ins loyalty of General Dix, have saved the city from a second massacre,. The recent publication of the correspondence which passed between the Gene. ral and Governor Seymour, has placed the honor_ able character of this. latter gentleman in no new lighlpnor has it been.able to excite any fresh disgust among the loyal memwhose capacities of contempt were already exhausted. It has merely served to gives the whole country a deeper insight into the political doctrinea. of the men who have been ele vated to power upon the most disgraceful political and moral iesuea aver presented for a decision by popular suffeage.,,and a fairer and more comprehen sive view of the obstacles with which Mr. Lincoln has to deal, in enforcing a law necessary for con serving, or 'rather re. establishing, the integrity of a republican form of government, for which these political Yherieees are continually: howling, while striving by every covert means in their power to effect its overthrow. To all unprejudiced men who have perused this correspondence, itwill be evident that the Governor totally avoided committing him self to any promise which might bind him to crush his " friends," in case they should see fit _ again to immolate, to burn, and to butcher their political antagonists, or to take any precautionary measures which might render him unpopular in the purlieus and among the men who, in July, cheered for him in the same breath with cheers for that concentrated Democrat, Jefferson Davis, for the brothers Wood, and for Brooks, of the Empress. A NOBLEMAN IN LIDIBO During the laat voyage of the Cunard steamer Corsica, from Nassau to this port, a son of Lord Ainslee, an officer of Madras Light Cavalry, com placently committed a theft, thereby affixing a stigma to the family pedigree, and creating a sensa tion among the indigenous snobs of this country. It appears that Ainslee occupied a state-room in con junction with a gentleman`named Harris, who is a resident of Nassau, N. P., and -that, improving an opportunity which offered itself, he appropriated a bill of exchange in triplicate for some £350, belong ing to that individual. Upon discovering his loss' Harris, without the fear of "the pride of heraldry, the pomp of power," before hia eyes, gave informa tion t o the captain of the steamer, and boldly avowed a very natural suspicion that the interest ing nobleman had purloined his bills. Throughout the voyage, Ainalee had assumed a. pompous air of auperiority, not at all calculated to inspire his fellow-passengers with any exalted feeling of friendship for him, and consequently no feeling of sympathy averted from him the oblo Qvy or' general 5u.p.‘ , .,.. --- rxr - conversatinn, - hemx; his condolence with Harris, and bemoaned the loss under the peculiar circumstances, claiming that it placed himself in a painful situation. Every body agreed with him upon this score. Upon the arrival of the Corsiest in port, the fact and the ac companying suspicion, were communicated to the revenue officer in charge, and a strict overhauling of his baggage revealed the missing bills safely stowed in the finger of a glove which had been thrust in the pocket of hia trunk. While the search was proceeding, Ainslee consoled himself by whist ling ; and when placed under arrest, gave no other signs of agitation than by a Change of color and a nervous puff upon a cigar which he had lighted for the occasion. Ultimately, Mr. Harris declined pro secuting him, and he was released from durance vile. He sailed on the same day for Europe in the City of Washington. In appearance, Ainslee was quiet and comparatively genteel for a lord, • and wore the proverbial "shocking bad hat" of a ge nuine Englishman. STUYVESANT. Public Entertainments. CHESTNITT•STREET THEATEB,--The immense au dience which last night greeted Mr. Booth's impel , : eon ation of Sir Edwai.d Mortimer was a tribute worthy the talent of that actor. Not only was not a scat unoccupied, but scarcely standing-room WAS available. The delicate and sinuous character of Mr. Booth's facial expression, his pathetic and yet powerful tones, were very, perceptibly appreciated by the audience congregated before him. The intel lectuality of his acting, is striking. His features have often been extolled, indeed hyperbolically praised. They are regular and expressive, and very impressionable When impassionateness Of language, lends a fresh power to them. He is neither an elegant rhetorician nor a completely educated elocu tionist But he does not, pamper to the vitiated taste of any small public. His rendition of the character of Sir Eritsdrd Mortimer does not need more cirr herds at yesent than to be reverted to. The repute which this performer has acquired is suffi cient always to draw a fair house, and generally a fun one. Nothing much can be said of the minor characters of the personation. Mrs. Alexina Fisher Baker has the equivocal advantage of belnaoin her prime, aug gestive of that alliterative axiom, "fat, fair, and --." She dresses with taste and acts with care. She comprehends stage effect—is utterly deficient in genius. She fills her present pooltion averagely, and is not unpleaaing. Mrs. S. L. Barrett makes a plump and a pretty.looking girl, at a distance. The play last night was carefully represented, and as carefully applauded. WALNUT STREET THEATRE.—Last !night several, hundred people visited this theatre, ignorant of the fact that its reopening has been postponed till Wednesday, on account of the non•completion of the internal impiovements. THE RIVAL GHOSTS.—It is a pleasure to an nounce that theproduction of." The Ghost," at the Musical Fund and Concert Halls, has ultimated in a complete success. The prospect to -be seen was less unfavorable than the prospectus. It is exceed ingly pleasant to see an old man with his throat cut ; it is excessively agreeable to behold a young woman in white, with her hair hanging down to her waist. When to these are added a sharp sword and a dead shot pistol, the success of the event is inevitable. This success has been abundantly evinced within the past week. At the Musical Fund Halt and at the Concert Hall, the ghastly impersonation is nightly to be seen, and nightly attracts crowds of observers. The stereopticon lends an additional zest to the entertainment, and agreeably diversities it NATIONAL UNION SENATORIAL CONVEN TION—FIRST DISTRICT.—The Convention of the National Union party of the First Senatorial Dis trict assembled last evening at Jefferson Hall, Sixth and Christian streets. . . Ex• Mayor Charles Gilpin was called to the chair, and Messrs. Sam'] B. Murphy and John O'Donnell were appointed secretaries. The credentials were received, and the subject of contested seats was referred to a committee of seven, as provided for by the rules. The committee having reported, the Convention adopted the report unanimously. The room was now cleated of all persons excepting members and reporters. An assessment of twenty-eve cents was ordered to be paid by each member to defray expenses. Jeremiah Nichols and Joseph Moore were placed in nomination for State Senator. A letter was presented from Mr. Moore, 'de clining the nomination. Mr. Nichols was nominated by general acclama tion, amid great cheering. A committee was appointed to wait upon Mr. Nichols, to inform him of hianominatlon. The following preamble andresolution were offered by Mr. Mclntyre : Whereas, Our political opponents endeavored in sidiously to disfranchise the soldiers by perpetrating the most glaring and astounding frauds, thereby tending to render unpopular the Idea of allowing the soldiers to vote ; and, whereas, we deem it an act of justice that the soldiers should be allowed to express their patriotic feeling by recording a peaceful ballot as well as shooting clown rebels is arms by Union bullets; therefore Resolved, That this Convention is decidedly in favor of the proposed amendment to the Constitu tion of the State of Pennsylvania authorizing a law to be passed by the Legislature allowing the soldiers to vote who aie otherwise qualified:to do so under existing laws. Vnanimoualy adopted. John Davis Watson, Esq., Samuel J. Rea, Req., Mr. Charles Gilpin (the president of the Conven tion), the people having by this time been admitted into the zoom, delivered appropriate and patriotic addresses, which awakened the utmost enthusiasm.

Hubbard 'l . l.orkal Union party of the ning, to.the Common Cou Comasum—About , seven o'clock last evening, a locomotive on the railroad collided with a horse and wagon at Nineteenth and Willow streets. The wagon was dashed to pieces, the driver had an arm broken or dislocated, and the nous WU BO bad• ly hurt as to be of no future nee. Cur season has been very long.

The cause of the-rise is seen in the - news from Charleston being lean , favorable than we , as ticipated, the calling out of 600,000 slaves by - Mr.- Davis for military duty, and the unpleasant con dition of the Mexican`questim The talk of rebel iron-clads in England and North Carolina also had some influence.

About noon a recession was slowly developed, and as we go to prese 127% is asked, with no bids. The chief cause assigned for the ad vance is the necessities of the "shorts," and the disinclination of the holders, who have bought at higher prices, to sell their - gold at a sacrifice. Exchange is quoted at 140%, with little doing. Capital': is abundant, and the brokers have no difficulty in obtaining all the loans they want at 6 per cent,y as there is no' pressing demand for money. The merchants are malfkig very little paper, and instead of the commission houses having as usual at this time of the year, a full portfolio of bills re ceivable, they haVe scarcely any on hand. We quote first-class six-months paper at 6 per cent. - The stock market is firm; with an upward ten dency. Governments are more active, Border State bonds strong, railroad bonds advancing, bankshares neglected, and railroad shares steady. Before the first session Erie was selling at Mg@ 13. William Y.
