NEW YOUR, Nov. 19, 1883
THE RAISING OF COLORED TROOPS
Some time ago, applioation was made to Governor
Seymour for authorization to raise colored troops in
the State. It was well known that; in this city,
many nrgroes Were ready to enlist, if appropriate
opportunities were afforded. Seymour, however,
true to his Social antagonisms and the intolerant
instincts of his much'attashed canaille, refused his
Pernsission in the matter, which lotion effectually
checked the patriotic endeavors of the movers of the
plan. This result had been foreseen,, yet it was
thought proper to make this application, probably
with the view of preventing any gubernatorial
grumbling when the step should be taken, which
some of Our leading civilians fid military men have'
just inaugurated. Our Amiable Chief Magistrate is
a great stickler for punctilio, and in his eyes, apes.
really, a week of riots, involving the slaughter of
citizens and the destination of property, the flaming
of auto da fee at our street corners, and the swinging
of bodies from the lamp -posts, are only a species of
poetical justice meted out by the friendly rabble is
Vindication of the of dignity of their patron,
because, according to hie own account, which half
pens to be false, he was not informed by the Govern
ment of the day upon which the draftiese to com
mence...ln view of these facts, and to prevent an
irritation of the Great Unwashed, upon similar
grounds, the application was eminently proper.
The citizens have now taken the matter into their
own hands, and in response to a call, signed by Gen.
Sickles, Peter Cooper, and others, a meeting has
been held, and resolutions, passed, which aim at the
accomplishment of the desirable result, metaphori
cally speaking, over the head of the Governor. A
committee of twenty-five has been appointed, which
is instructed to,make direct application to Wash
ington for the reqdisite authorization under which
' , Colored troops may be raised as a portion of the
' State's quota.. A masa meeting is to be held with a
view of furthering the object.- Pot-house politicians
are much eicited • over the possible success of the
Measure, and are prodigal of prophecies and threats,
and speak of thrashing the "niggers" and tearing
off their uniforms. This is a 1 highly probable.
More than once bandtulis of colored troops have
peened through, and even remained in the city; but
these unrestrainable braves heye been rather chary
of theft insults and cautious in their actions at such
times, and in this ease they will be equally lamblike.
- A PLEASANT STHiPRESE,
Respectability was jubilant last evening, over the
rumor that, after all the Copperhead crowing, and
war-dances, the official canvass has ascertained the
election of Judge Bosworth, over the notorious
MoOunn, by, a majority of fifteen votes. It seems
that there is some difference regarding the votes oast
in one df the districts, in which the MeOurtnltes
claim over one hundred votes for their candidate,
but which official papers do not as yet show. If this
claim is well founded, we must, of course, shoulder
our burden of sin as best we may; la the laterite.
tive, howiver, we shall bavo cause for self-gratula
tins. PtisOunn is sanguine of his own success.
Nominating committees are hard at work on the
Mayoralty ticket. Orison Blunt and 0. Godfrey
Gunther are already before the people, while the
loyal men are endeavoring to press the name Of
General Dix, It is stated on undoubted authority
that the General will not run; and, also, that he
will gladly run, Between these two asseverations,
we are left somewhat in doubt as to the issue. From
present indicetions, the Union party bids fair to
floor itself by sitting on two stools et the same time.
.A. &Mend undivided front is requisite, if Tammany
and Mozart, the political Clog and Magdg, are to be
defeated; but managers do not seem.to understand
this fact, and are squandering away the power of the
party, in Their endeavors to accomplish unaccom
pliehable things.
The recent agitation of Oustont House mattere
has brought to the surface some of the curiosities of
the Revenue Department. The following incident,
vouched for , upon good authority, is not unieter
eating. Some time stem the baggage Of a well
dressed, queenly-looking woman was examined by
an official, and, among other articles, were found
several well-worn silk dresses, fully flaunted with
Honflon lace of the finest texture and yellowest lxe.
Now, as genuine Honiton, of this .quality, is only
worth about one hundred dollars per yard, the Offk
eises eyes dilated to the size ofnumber four saucers,
The queenly female suggested that she was wealthy
and coda afford such trifling luxuries of self-
adornment ; still, the official was incredulous. After
much consultation, the trunks of my lady were
carted off to the public store, and the whole matter
fully investigated. The result, to employ the words
• of Young Sam, "was stuuninV , lily lady proved
to bea well-known New York modiste, who was in
the habit of purchasing honitons in Paris, and
11ouncing her dress therewith. Now, as a few stray
countesses occasionally rind their way to tide port,
with wardrobes of a gorgeous quality, this fraudu•
lent sinner had, theretofore, passed her own most
valuable collection beneath the noses of the officials
without let or hindrance, by skulking in the shadow
of the aristocracy. In this instance, however, she
was trapped, and, at the end of the investigation,
serenely handed over her check for ten thousand
dollars, in payment of all demands for accumulated
duties. ST UYVB SANT.
A `..peecti. from Mr. Vallandigliatn to the
Students of the Mienigan - University, on
Literature and Polities.
On the 14th a large number of the students of the
'University of Michigan paid , a formal visit to Mr.
Tallandighani, at Windanr, C. NIT. we quote the
following piece of nelf.condemnatien
But, young gentlemen, while I have thus ad
dressed yeu as students preparing yourselves for the
ordinary business and professions of life, I well
know that at any time many of you would be, and
In times of such tremendous import as just now are •
upon us in our own country, all of you are pro
foundly interested in Potence. Probably you give
to them more of your thoughts than to any of your
collegiate ; or professional studies. I know, too, that
many 'of 'ou even now look eagerly forward to the
time.when.you will pass from your professions into
political life. That is the goal of your ambitious
iongings. Your hearts are fixed upon it. It is an
honorable, a holy ambition ; an ambition not to be
extinguished, but to be regulated. He is a false
teacher who would tell the ingenuous, vir
tuous, and public. spirited youth of the country
that the political service of the country is fit
only for thY vulgar, the impure, and the corrupt.
As there are hypocrites in the pulpit, emplace in
medicine, pettifoggers at the bar, and pretenders
everywhere, so there are demagogues in political
life. But there is as well a morality as a philoso•
phy, a science in politics, far above the circle of these
reptilea. Unhappily. the low standard of capacity
and morals set up and denounced by those who de
cline public life, and practically' but too often ac
knowledged by politicians, Is another of the evil
portents which threaten our country. Of the cor
rupting influences of avarice at all times I need not
speak. `But, more debasing and dangerous still, in
seasons of great public corn motion, is the execrable
vice of fear. All these combined, make up that most
loathsome of all the - object& of reproach and scorn, a
"scurvy politician." He has borne the same odious
character in every country and age. Among the
Greeks be once courted popularity or place by point.
ing out the smugglers of ties, and was cursed as
both spy and. informer,
and thence gave a name
to the whole class of demagogues. In Rome
he headed every petty popular tumult, and clamored
.fiercely for a division of' land and goods. Curran de
scribed him in his day in felicitous phrase as "one
- who, buoyant by putrefaction rises as he rots." He
is the vermin, the insect , of politics, and amid the I
beats of civil war and convulsion teems into life
as thick as gnats in the summer evening air. If
any one among you—and I speak, to those _ who
would aspire to be leaders among their country
men—have neither the capacity nor the ambition
to be a 'statesman, let him at least not stoop to be.
come a demagogue. Preach, heal, try causes, work,
but scorn to be one of that number who know
nothing of politics, except the passions and per
sonalities which they excite. If not able to argue
uponprinciples, measures, politics, debate not at
all.- If you cannot soar, do not creep. Whoever
discusses'only men in politics is always largely a
slanderer.
Principles not men, is not, indeed, altogether a
sound maxim, though little liable to be abused since
personalities always make up so large and control
ling an element-in mere partisan politics. Better
say, principles and men. It is easy to be "a politician
or demagogue—sail with the wind, float with the
current, 'look not to the compass, neither lift up
your eyes to the heavens where the constellations
and the' pole star, bright, glorious emblems of God,
and Truth, and the Right, still shine steadfast, im
movable; just as they shone in the 'beginning of
time, poela nasotittr. So it is with the demagogue.
But the statesmen must be made as well as born.
His voyage is through mid-ocean, and in storm. Re
sails under orders. His port is ascertained and pre
scribed before he sets out, and it is his duty to reach
it ; and so, like the majestic ocean steamer, he sails
on, and
"Against the wind. against the tide,
Still steadier with an upright keel "
Demoothenee, more than tiro thousand years ago, in
his great oration on the crown, well distinguished
between these two characters, declaring that while
they were alike in nothing, they differed chiefly in
this-..that the statesman boldly and honestly pro
claimed his opinions before the event, and thus
made himself responsible to fortune, to the times,
to his countrymen, to the world ; while the syco
phant or demagog ue was silent till the event had
happened, and then governed his speech and his
conduct accordingly. and now, allow me to add,
that though you may be patriots, and yet not
statesmen, the great statesman is always a patriot.
His love of country is as well a principle as an
emotion. Duty enters largely into it, hence it
is stable, enduring. It is not sensational—cer
tainly not mere feeling of gratitude; least of all
in the meating of that word, as defined by Dr. John
son, "a lively sense of favors yet to be received."
He loves his country both wisely and well He never
sacrifices her real, though remote, interests to a
popular clamor, and still less at the demand of those
who hold the power. Neither will he corrupt the
virtue nor tarnish the honor of, his country to save her
mere sordid interests. Rather will he imitate the ex
ample of Aristides, who, reporting to the Athenians
that &certain proposition was indeed for their Ind
mediate advantage, but would bring dishonor upon the
State, counselled that they would reject it.

MB. FiEBOHBR.—We _understand that Mr. Beecher
positively refuses, for the present, to lecture before
any society for money., He will, however, make
public addresses in two or three of the principal
cities, on condition that the entire proceeds shall be
appropriated for the benefit of our sick and wounded
soldiers, or in some other way for the benefit of the
cause for which he battled in England. From this
tufa'. until January he will deliver no lectures on
private contract under any inducement whatever.
It iv said that a benevolent amooiation in this city
tasjust offered Mr. Beecher five hundred dollars for
a Single lecture in behalf of its specific work; and
that an organization in Philadelphia offered eight
hundred dollars for two lectures. Both offers were
declined.—EveningPost, •

of "Shoulder-straps"' by another, entitled "The
Days of Shoddy—a Novel of the 0-teat Rebellion of

history of the war, and, as the title foreshadows,
will deal largely with contractors, their. doings mid'

by Peterson & Brothers, early next month.

• The Speakership of the House.
[Correspondence of the Evening Post.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 18li3 —lt is reported that
Mews. Davis, Webster, Thomas, and Oresswell, of
the Maryland delegation in the Rouse of Represent
-
/gives, may decline to enter the Republican caucus,
but it is certain that they will vete for the Republi
can nominee for Speaker. Declining to enter any
caucus, they may make their choice in the open
Rouse between the two nominees—one the repro•
sentative of the Administration as* the war; and
the other representing the entire opposition to the
Administration and the war.
There are not less than ten members elected to
the new Rouse, who will not act with the members
from Maryland whom I have named. They are not
Republicans in the technical meaning of the word,
but they are emancipationists, and will, on all occa
sions, vote against the Copperheads and Democrats.
' . For all practical purposes they are as efficient sup
porters of the Administration as if they were elected
from overwhelming Republican districts. The Ad
ministration will recognise them, rather than the
so-called “Conservatives,l , from their respective
States, as entitled to speak for the interests of their
section.
Sir Alexander Milne on the United States.
[Correspondence of the Evening Post ]
limvax, Nov. 13, 1863.—Sir Alexander Milne,
naval commarder-in•cbief on this station, left here
in - her Majcsty's ship Nile this Morning for Ber
muda, whence be will proceed to England. Sir
Alexander's successor is Bear Admiral Sir Santee
Hope. •
Admiral Milne was much esteemed while on this
station. In his reply to the address presented him
by the merchants of Halifax, before leaving, he paid
a high tribute to the naval'commanders and to the
naval authorities and Government of the United
States for the uniform kindness and courtesy mani-
Seated towards himself and the officers under him in
all their intercourse. He also stated that the Go.
vernment of that country acted honorably ani
promptly with regard to every communication sent
•toit by him. This reply has been " gall and worm
wood" to the rebel sympathizers in Halifax, aad
- they would gladly suppress it if they could.
•
MIIBICIAL.—From the New York --
-World we quote
the following truthful criticism :
Effective music, which, while occasionally taw
dry in ideas, and inelegant in compotition, is of a
quality now most acceptable to audiences in general.
The actor who is nearest akin to a Stentor rouses
people to applause, and walks into popularity more
readily than he whose utterance is less vehement,
and the music which is boisterous makes its mark
much quicker than tha • which demands more sub
'dued intonation. This circumstance is sorely detri
mental to art. Composers and singers ask
for reputation upon the strength of it, and the conse •
quence is that faith in the taste of Donizetti,-Bellini,
Rossini, and Jtleyerbeer, is being dreadfully shaken.
The Italian composers for a dosenyears past have,
from producing voluptuous music, come to cultiva•
ting a little that is positively vulgar, and which
quickly finds its place in the repertory of circus
bands, and similar 'inferior orchestras. The edu
cated public owes it to its own good' name to exer
cise great care in awarding , honors to operatic com
positions. Truth - to say, nothing is more common
than for the craziest pieces in an opera to take the
laurels of the evening, or for artists to gain encores,
after transposing an aria into an easier key, and
singing it more or less out of time and tune in ad
dition. ..
A VERY large number of freedmen are employed
try the navy on the Mississippi river. They are
said to make excellent seamen, and are especially
capable as gunnera. ' A letter says : " The body
servant of the rebel Secretary Benjamin is now en
gaged on board one of the steamers plying between
Memphia and New Orleans, and many other once
valuable slaves are now in happy freedom making
men of -themselves . At many of the contraband
camps zealous chaplains and noble men and women
sent forth by the Christian Commissions of the
several States are now laboring to elevate the charac
ter of the. freedmen and trying to make them Indus
tricle and useful, both to themselves and the com
munity."
Tait total valuation of the State of New York
counts to $1,454,464,817, upon which is imposed for
the year 1863 a tax of $7,272,274 08. 'The pros; eds
are be applied as follows: For schools, laws of
1866, chapter 180, X of a mill; for canals, laws of
1863, chapter 393, 3( of a mill ; for bounties, laws of
1863, chapter 184, 1 11-16 mills •; for the Albany and
Susquehanna Railroad, laws of 1863, chapter 70,3-16
of a mill ; for general purposes, 134 mills ; for defi
ciencies in former appropriationt, Mof a mill. To
tal, 6 mills on the dollar. Last year it was 4% mills.

provided about $600,000, and the Legislature of 1863
has also appropriated more than is provided for.

The report sets forth the great value Of the coal

are subject to constant flue tuations, and those who
have the leasing of them will always-be exposed to

ing, which was held on the 20th of September; that
the resolution previously offered by Mr. blether
' ill, and passed in thischamber, on the 24th day of
April, was in his hands,' and produced before the
committee on asking for it postponement as a reason
for so doing, and that the postponement was voted
down; Messrs. Harris,- and Panting, with ethers,
voting against the postponement, and Mr. Sulger
not voting at all.
After hearing the testimony, it was thought
proper by the committee to give the members of-the
sub-committee who wele implicated by it an oppor
tunity of being heard. mr. Harris appeared be
fore the committee, and read a sworn statement, and
tittered to answer, under oath, any question that
might be asked. Mr. Sulger sent a statement, but
Mr. Panting did not appear, send any statement, or
take any journal notice of the invitation sent to
The evidence in regard to this latter gentleman is
so conclusive, and his failure to attend, or offer to
deny or rebut it, confirms Nem decidedly, that we
deem it unnecessary to make confinents upon it.
In boldly and unblushingly pressing his own corrupt
demands, he did not hesitate to bring the whole of
the - Committee on*Girard Estates under suspicion.
Such conduct is a disgrace to these Councils, and
should meet with prompt and immediate punish ,
ment. How can we expect to obtain the respect of
our fellow. citizens if we tolerate one who is capable
of such a course?. ,
As Mr. Pauling has failed to appear or submit
his case to the committee, and we are not-empow
ered to give him a technical trial, we cannot, per
haps, report a technical conviction. In regard to
Mr. Sulger the committee have nothing to say. He
I is a member of the other Chamber, and they leave
his case to rest with those who are concerned in the
matter. The committee are of the opinion that the
I /resolutions granting leases to Messrs. Wadleigh &
' Vandyke and Mr. Laws should be vacated.
The report is signed by Messrs. Miller, Nicholson,
Davie, Catherwood, and Wetherill.
An ordinance was offered annulling the lease
granted io Messrs. Wadleigh & Vandyke and A. F.
i -Laws & Co., and providing for the releasing of the
said lands.
The consideration of the ordinance was postponed.
The evidence submitted in the ease is voluminous.
Charles Dengler testified that he was at the meet
ing of the sutacommittee held in - September, at
Pottsville; from what they said he was led to be
lieve that it depended upon their report whether a
lease would or, would-not ,be granted. Neither
member of the committee asked him for anything
direct. He sent coal, two cars; about four and a
halt tons each, to Mr. Pauling, one oar to Mr. Sul
ger, and none to Mr. Harris, Nothing was said
about payment of the same
' nor did we expect any
payment. He, understood frOm his
. partner, Mr.
Robinson; that they expected money.
Morris Robinson testified that Pauling asked him
for four cars of coal, and gave him his address. Mr.
Panting said to witness that a bonus would be re
quired of him and his partner; witness said lie could
not say anything-- at that time, he would speak to
Dengler, whom he afterwards told what Peal
ing Was (drifting .at ; Mr. Dengler*Went to Paul.
leg to inquire what sum was required y Panting
hid not like to tell Dangler, as he was not well
acquainted With himwitness then saw him, and
told him to name his
s ,figures; reviling said the
other members of the committee wanted a pretty
large sum, but he had got them down to what he
thought was about fair; he -said- it ought to be
three thousand dollars, but he would take' two
thousand dollars ; witness asked him if he
could not take one thousand dollars ; he said
no, as there would be about eight to divide it among
that that would be a majority of the committee, and
would be less than $3OO hundred each. Witness
then asked if he could not take one thousand dollars
cash, and give time for the balance of the $2,000 ; he
said no, that it would not do; if there was paper
given it might tell some tales. Neither of the-other
members of the committee named any sum of money
to witness, who informed his counsel of all that had
transpired, and, did not give any Money, Pauling
accused witness of telling on him, and said it would
be bad for witness if he told the conversations that
had happened between them.
,Franklin Karcher, agent of the Girard estates in
Schuylkill and Columbia counties, was examined.
He had no. knowledge of any, person procuring a
lease for Money ; have been offered Money to pro
cure leases; Mr. Vandyke offered me $l,OOO if I
could secure him the Keely run tract. -
Richard Vandyke who was sworn, denied - posi
tively the form in which Karcher stated the facts
in regard to their application for a lease.
Mark Wadleigh was also examined, but his evi
dence had no direct bearing on the case. •
The affidavit of William Harris, Jr., a member of
the committee,- sets forth plainly that he knows no
thing of the bribery alleged to have been practised,
and that he never in any way authorized the same,
or had any knowledge or it. ~
The statement of Mr. Sulger, disclaiming all con
nection with the matter, was also submitted.
Mr. BRIGHTLY now moved that the consideration
of the report be made the special order of the day for
the next_meeting, at five o'clock, and that Mr.
Panting be furnished with a copy of the evidence,
and notified to appenr.
Mr. ZANE moved to - amend by, striking out the"
name “Pauling'," and inserting "all persons impli
cated and connected with this Chamber."
ometer
Mr. BRIGHTLY finally withdrew his motion, and
offered a resolution expelling Mr. Fouling, which
the CHAIR deoided out of order. '
Mr. - ZANE sustained the views of the Chair in his
decision. In all reports emanating from committees,
we merely consider the ordinance attached or re
commended, and not the report itself. , The speaker
said that up to , this day there never have been any
charges made against Messrs. Harris and Pau
ling. There was a mere insinuation that something
had gone wrong—no charges were made—and a
committee of investigation was ordered. They can-
not be legally expelled until a committee is appoint,
ed to investigate the charges made in this report.
After a long discussion and several motions were
made and voted down, •
Mr. BRIGHTLY moved that the elerk inform Com
mon Councils of the action of the investigating com
mittee,' and furnish them with a copy of the evi
dence.
The motion'was agreed to, and no further action
will be taken in the case until Common Council is
heard from.
Mr. MILLER then offered a resolution instructing
the Committee on Girard Estates not to grant fur
ther leases of the coal lands, until an ordinance
directing the mode of making said leases. shall be
passed. Agreed to.
Sundry bills from Common Council were concur
red in, when the Chamber adjourned.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1863.
Mn. Margeret Dougherty. It seems from the evi•
dance that defendant and a deserter from the army,
named Woodside, went into the Union Restaurant,
on l'assyituk road, near Wbarton, on Tuesday after
noon, and obtained some stewed and fried oysters.
A five-dollar counterfeit note was tendered to pay
went. The attendant refused to take it. The de
fendant became uproarious, used obscene and bias
phetuous language. Mrs. Dougherty ordered the
parties out mud they refused to go. Finally,•she
succeeded in pushing Moore into the street, when
he snapped a pistol, at her. Both the intruders re
turned and menaced the, house. A. warrant was
taken out, placed Into the hands of Detective
mon. He arrested the defendant, and had an urs.
Wind amount of difficulty in getting him to the
office, so violent was the, resistance. The accused
was lined for drunkenness, and ordered to enter bail
in the sum of $lOO, to answer an assault with and
snapping a pistol at Mrs. Dougherty. He was also
required to enter $3OO. additional bail to answer the
charge of blasphemy. The revised penal code in
flicts a tine of $lOO and three months' imprieonment,
at the discretion , of, the court, for the misdemeanor
of blasphemy.
Conceal/NI Deadly . Weapons, &c.
James Peens , and Daniel Grey are the names given
by two canal boatmen, who were:arrested on belay,

porting to be the issue of the America Bank of Rhode

Ellen Schaughnessey was arraigned yesterday on
the charge of keeping a disorderly house in Harmony
court, below Fourth street, and with committing an
assault and battery upon a German named Louts
Spicer. It seems from the evidence,Ahat four or
five women occupy rooms in a house above located.
Mr. Spicer, a poor man, iiVCS in a room beneath the
acme roof. On Wednesday evening, about nine
o'clock, as he was going to his room, he heard , the
voice of one of the women, as though she was being
maltreated or imposed upon. In the kindness of his
heart, he opened the door, when he found his ser
vices were not needed. For this '
another woman,
who had gone out for a pint of whisky, (regular
tanglefoot,) dashed the vile liquor into his face
which set him nearly crazy for a-while. Other old.
dense was adduced to show that the house wee very
disorderly at times. The accused were required to
enter bail in the sum of $5OO each to answer.
LEGAL IN'TELLIGENOE.
U. S. District Court—Judge Cadvvalader.
John Carr was tried in this - court yesterday, on a
charge of passing as altered note, a one•dollar green.
back altered to a ten, and was acquitted, tire Judge
having instructed the jury that there wan not evi
dence sufficient to warrant a conviction.
No other case was tried.
Court of Common - Pleas—Judge Ludlow.
Julians . ' Mintzer vs. Baker et al. The trial of this
feigned issue to teatthe validity of the will of Adam
Mintzer, deceased, was concluded yesterday.—
Speeches of counsel were finished at a late hour,
and the caw, alter full and impartial Instruction
from Judge Ludlow, was given to the jury, who
were directed, if they agreed upon a verdict, to seal
It and bring it in this, morning.
Court of Oyer and Teruttider and quarter
Sessions—Judges Thompson and Allison..
Commonwealth vs. Henry Young.. Indictment for
the murder of Enos McGee. The evidence for the
defence was concluded yesterday. It consisted
mainly in an effort to prove, what was stated in the
opening speech of Mr. Goforth, that the shooting
of the pistol in the car was done by Hazard; who
escaped, and not by the defendant, who had no pistol
in his poeseesion. In relation to the conversation
detailed by the witness McGill, called by the Com
monwealth, as having taken place on' Monday
between the defendant and a colored woman,
named Btuke, as the two were being con
veyed back to prison in the van, the wo
man, Burke, was called to the stand, and testi
fied that, though she had some conversation with'
defendant in relation to the members of hie family
who were in court that day, she had no conversation
with him in reference to Mrs. McGee whatever; the
witness McGill was mistaken as to that.
The defence further called witnesses as to the pre
vious good character of the defendant. -
After speeches of counsel, the case, at a late hour,
under the instructions of the court by Judge Thomp
son, was given to the jury, who had not agreed upon
a verdict when our report closed.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
THE MONEY MARKET;
PEULADBLPRIA, Nov. 10, 1863.
Gold was much excited to-day, and rose to 153,4, duo.
tuatingfregnently between that figure and 162%—closing
at MX. The demand for money was active. but easily
supplied at 6g)7 per cent., the market looking a little blue
early in the day. Government securities are fn fair cle•
wand; prices firm.
The stock market was moderately active, with a strong
list of prices. Buyers are taking courage, and from the
Promising condition of several of the /tower-priced fan
cies, there is a likelihood of a revival of speculative move
/cent very soon. Catawissa preferred was freely taken
at 51©31.e.1; the common rose to 10g. 'We are s orry the
°Meets of this company are so reticent on the subject of
their receipts. If they would permit -the figures 'to be
Publisbed, - the ; Stockholders would. be - happy, and the
public have the satisfaction of going in for a good thing.
Or if it be the design of the directors to come out with a
large dividend and astonish everybody, perhaps they are
excusable for their close-mouthed policy; but they
should remember that many of their friends may sacri•
ace their stock, which a statement as to the condition of

The New York Evening Past says;
The demand for the five•twenties continues to in
crease, notwithstanding the interruption of the supply
from Washington. -We learn, from the various agents,
that the subscriptions from the country were never so
numerous as now; and it is one of the most significant
d gratifying circumstances attendirrg thls loan. that
the masses of the people are as anxious to invest in it as
the great capitalists, and that habits of economy and
saving, Which, when diffused among the citizens, con.
tribute so greatly to augment national wealth and pros
perity, are thus receiving a new and powerful stimulus.
Tt e loan market is easy and moderately active at 7 Der
cent. The brokers have now - no difficulty in obtaining
money. and the speculative spirit, if the present ease
should continue, will, no doubt, revive before long.
The stock market opened strong. A number of new
buyers have made their appearance, but are operating
with caution. National securities are firm, border State
bonds quiet, coal stocks quiet, bank shares dull, and
railroad bonds strong.
•Railroad shares are irregular. New York Central and
Erie are strong; but the Western shares are drooping,
from an increasing disposition to sell.
