A clearer and completer reply to an assault upon a faithful public officer never was made; TBEAstfelf DirrAltrefeler, April 1, ldfii. Hon Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the fin's oP Repre sentatives: • hilt: I have had the honor of receiving from the House of Representatives a copy of the following remota tem : "Resolved. That the etseretary of Treasury he re quested to report to this House w hat have been the tee. vices of Jae uooke ee. Co to the Glovernment In the sale of Utitod States securities, and what have been tae rate and whole amount of compensation therefor; also. 'whether said. services might not have been as seems in.ly rh.rined by th.. Treasury Department itself; also, what sums of money. if ant. have been paid oat of the Treasury for advertisements ordered by Jay Cooke 4 Co," Pefoxe proceeding le answer these inquiries. it is proper to say that Jay Cooke & Co. WON never been emplo red to render any services to theeelovernment; but as Mr. lay 'Dicke. of that Arm hie been employed as agent for the sale of rinited'htates bonds tied treasury notes, the rem- Julien will be answered as if it Lad been prepared in re fee. nee to him individually. The whole of the five bundled millions five twenty loan being now taken, ant the accounts connected with it Meted, I respectfu ly submit the followiugstatement in response to the resolution, without awaiting the com pletion of the delivery of the bonds subscribed for in ex cess. Which will involve no additional payment on ac count of compensation or expenses: The Bret inquiry requires a statement of the services of Jay Cooke in the sale of United elates seraritios, and. of the zatiereed amount of hie compensation therefor. -Mr. Cooke's first services welts as sweet for the sale of three e yeats' treasury notes. popularly knoten as seven ihhelidee Whea pegotiating the first loan with the associated ban's. of m e w F o rk, Borten. and Philadelpuirt, in July, Mil, of fifty millions of dollars for threeyearsesven.thirty treasury notes, the Secretary stipulated to open sub ecriptiorm throughout the country to effect the sale and dietributton of these notes by agents acting under the di red, supervision of the department, the proceeds of each. sale and distribution to be paid over to the banks in n imbus.: ement In whole or in part of their loan, in order to seams the prompt taking of th e second loan of equal amount. In fulfilment of this stipulation. the Secretary, in addition to the regnittr officer's of the department. ap rotnted one hundred and lofty. eight agents, of whom Mr. Jay Cooke was one, to receive subscriptions for the tale if the es vet.- thirtise, supplied them with minted blank hooks of subscription, bleak certificates of depo- ' sit, blank farina for correspondence with the depart meet. and envelopes with printed addresses thereon. In addition to there expenses, and the exppnses of the neceeearily-increased force of clerks employed, he paid these agents one firth of one per cent. on the first one hundred thousand dollars obtained eY hem respective. le. and one.srehth on ail sums in excess. and allowed for advertising a stipulated sum, varying according to locality. but in no case exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars. 'I he several agents thus employed returned eubscrip aerie in the aggregate amounting to 4124.616.866 81, of setech nr. Jay Cooke obtained $e 224.00, or more than one-fifth of the whole. for which he was paid the fixed. peicentage, amounting to I#6 680. C 6, and, for advertising. BM, malt leg hie total allowances for the sale r,f seven thirties. 86,630.(6. Mr. Cooke. at the close of hie.labore in obtaining MO soriotiews to the seven this-Hee, and on making his fiaal payments into the treaeury. sebmitted an account. sub stantiated by vouchers, showing disbursements by him for advertising. amounting to $.3.641 44, not including soma paid for which he had no specific vouchers. He was allowed only CM, or 'else than one-twentieth of hie expenditure. The crevices of Mr. * Cooke, in connection with the seven. thirty Mane were vainable end important. but of brie magnitude compared with those rendered in .les begot . ..salon of the loan of five hundred millions of dol lars for bonds cemmot ly known as the "ft ve-twenles " When this loan was autheriztd by Congress'. many ex- Per tenced and able financial men expressed their belief that it would be impoesib,e to negotiate b rode redeema ble of er so short a period as flee years. and bearina an hen/este:4 only six per cent., and for a time ItePearilio69 were dech edly against the succfe. of the loan finder the law, every bolder of United Suttee notesbad the right to convert them, at his pleasure. into the fire. twenty bonds at par. A. We/ileac' which can be need at any time is often not used at all. and it soon breams clear text voluntary conversions would supply only a +mall proportion of the large sums regairect for the die barstn,ents of the war. To enC•lte and promote a better ai.pofAtion, the assistant treasurers, theignatsd demist, tails!, And special epeuts were aatnorized to receive de pot:Mot notes, and issue certificates entitling the depo sitors to bonds-bearing interest from the date of dep osit, Still. conversions lewd, and were altogether inade quate to the demands neon the Treasury. n was indispensable that these demands should he an swered with the least pos,.ible delay, and the reoregary endeavored to ascertain the beet terms on which the bond. could he neg,tlate 1 by tales Careful inquiry was made through the assistant treasurer at New York. and other experienced persons, and. it was ascertained that negotiations could not be effected at higher rates than from 97 to 98 mute for a doslar. which would involve a loss on each hundred millions of the huff of from tWO io aree million .'chars Unwitting to submit to this lose, the Secretary, in Oc tober, 1862. determmtd to appoints. general agent, with authority to appoint sob agent,. thronshont the whole country for whom he should be peps..natty responsible. • nud in this way to organise a direct appeal to the whole people. He accordingly selected as general agent Ir. Jay Cooke, who was recommended for preference by his resPOnSibility. bir his integfity. and by his energetic and snetes,ful services in the negotiation of the first national loan. and committed the whole work to him It was agreed that his commissions, for services and to cover disbursements, should be one-half of one per cant. on the fist ten millions, and three. eighths on subscriP tient beyond that amount. Of "these three-eighths. Mr, Cooke was btnnd to pay one-eighth to subscription cab agents. and s myths) , eighth to travelling agents end for advertising. and other expenses. of mailing the loan as widely and favorably known as possible. He was al lowed to retain the other eighth an compensation for his own labor and risk, and for expenses chargeable to his own proportion His responsibility covered ail acts of his sub-agents until pa; , m.n.t into tee treasury of all m , neys sub- Saribed. 4 114(1.- deliver Y to sehsterGotta of all bonds so.h scribed or. o liability and no datY, except that of furnishing the bonds was assumed by the Government, v hits to insure the faithful performance of the ditty of the general agent. and the full satisfaction of all de mends upon himself and his sub-agents, bonds were re quired and given in the aggregate sum of six hundred thousand dollars . _ . .Nc,twithstanding the magritude of the task imposed upon him the general agent had no monopoly in the disposal of the loan. The Treasurer, the assistant trea surers. and several of the designated depositaries were also directed to use their-U.Bs endeavors to obtain sub scriptions, and were authorized to allow oae.eicath, and, in some cases, one fourth of one per cant to par ebare!it for toggle. Hailing undertaken the work, Hr Cooke proceeded to organize a general system of agencies For a time, the result seemed doubtful. When, however. at the next session of Congress, the absolute right of conversion war limited to the lat of July. MU, and the system of on b-agencies had bean thoroughly organized and extend s.; thrcrishout the country, aubtormcione gradually in creased, until, at length, the unwearied labors of the general agent and his sub.asents were crowned with complete success. ISOI, only was the whole loan taken. but sub.cristions were male on the day it was finally mosso fox nearly seven miliions of dollars in excess of the am. not authorized; for which en case the general agen. was ailswed no compensation. it is imposeibis to exhibit in detail. the services thus ndere.d. Or to Intim e their value in money. It may be sufficient to state that the number of sub-agents era- PieSt d by the general agent, and for whom he was re sponsible, was about twenty-live hundred; that the work of the agency extended into almost every county and town of the loy a l States, end among all classes of the population ; that its fruits were subscriptions for five tivetty bonds. amounting. in the aggregate to the e arn Qt 4361.9.52,9 N; and that without these sabacciptioca net. thee the army nor the navy, nor tire general creditors of th ti o *ern meat , coal , ' have been paid. "irne benefit of the or 01k was not Grafted by its direct results. The interest in the loan, excited by the efforts of rho agent and sub agents, operated powerfully upon anbscriptions with the assistant treasurers, and the designated depositories. These subscriptions amounted in me aggregate to $145.823 OW, of which 1452.178.300 were subscribed by purchasers for reiale, and, 41Q63,- 2130 for direct 111 yeatneat, The whole compensation to the general agent and subs agents for services, and for all expenses incurred in ob taining and paying over subscriptions, amounting, as a‘ready stated. to 4,64912 950. was $1,350 013.15, of Which 41E5,700.31 was paid to the general agent en com pensation for responsibility, for services. and far es pemas chargeable noon the one-eighth allowed to hire. Totbe curt of 'Sue agenclee, in order to ascertain the total expenses of the loan, mast be added the commis sions allowed to Purchasers for re-sale, by the assistant treasurers and other officers of the Government; these commisators moor ted to $122,19:1.39, making the entire cc tof the whole loan $1,472.203 64. This cost is a little less than three.tenths of one per cent (or eighteen days' interest). on the whole amount, and, as is believed, is lees than the cost of any other great loan, either Ameri can or English. heretofore negotiated. The Secretary has already stated that the beet terms be was encenr„,ond to hope for in case of resorting to the negotiation of fifty millions with capitalists, in the or dinary 'way. were from ninety-seven to ninety-eight cents for a dollar. and there was every reason to baklava that for the additional some required to complete toe lose Ice would be obliged to submit to much more Weed vantsgeons rates. Had he negotiated fifty millions at ninety-seven and a Calf per cent.- the cost of one-tenth of the loan would have been 41 254.000, It SAM nearly equal to the whole cost of the whole actual loan of $5lO 776.460 upon the plan actually adop ed. Had he at tempted and succeeded beyond reasonable hope in nego tiating the whole at the same rate, the cost would have been 412, GOO, OCO. The foregoing. statement. it is hoped. snfgoientlyan ewere tie inquiries. what have been the services of the general agent to the Government in the sale of United States securities, and what was the rate and amount of compensation therefor. The other innairles of the resolution may be briefly answered. ltio sums of money have been paid oat of the Treasury for advertising ordered by Jay Cooko & Co , and none for advertising ordered by the general agent, except as above stated It only remains to add that the Secretary is clearly of opinion that the services rendered by the general agent and the sub agents could. not have been as successfully Performed,nor,lndee:.performed at all. by.the Treasury Denattinent.

We left Reines, Ga., on the 16th inst., end we arrived on the-nd all safely, we have a rnah time of it. The boys all rejoicing on their re turn back home. The eupposision is we will go up the road in a few days. I hope it will be the ease; there are some excitement here, about Mobile, I don't think there will be any fighting here soon. I think if the Feds do's attack this place, they will not be Mob fighting for I see no lighting men they are all whipped, citizens and soldiers are all whipped. What has a soldier got at etake to fight for they, get eleven doll,ra per . month and they can't get a meals of vittilea for less than three dollars out in the country, they can eat it up a day, as we went to Dalton and Atlanta the citizens was a giving two dollars of Confederate money for one of . greenbaok as we &Mee back they was giving twenty dollars for one of greenback. You could get any prise you asked at Montgomery. Aint that poor encouragement for a soldier to fight for. I think it is time for us to quit when the Yankee money are better than our own money, and then on top of that Congress has raised taxa tion, it will take ail that a poor man has got to pay his tax, and there le no provision make for a soldier. Now can we stand it. The rich man at home and the poor man in the battle field, they will take all his wife has got when she strives to make some thing to live on. It aint right, and this government can not stand it, if something slat doneto remedy it, and I see no remedy at all, that I can see, and here the army will be broke up by , the soldiers going home, and I believe they will go home by re giments next spring, if they don't get better treat ment, our rushing [ration] are short and I think they will be snorter.

The third day's receipts at the Fair are stated by the Tribune at ,55 000.; receipts altogether for the sanitary cause, $400,000 thus far. Mrs. Fremont, Mrs. McDowell.

On presenting the cup and the little book of flowers, the good old woman took a bottle of red Switzer wine from her pocket, and, tilling the cup, handed it to the consul, and then drank herself, laying' 41 Here's a health and a greeting to America; God bless my boy's new faderland." "God bless it," replied the consul, "and Switzerland, too." The old woman thanked him with teats in her eyes, and went away, leaving her boy , ' cup and the Alpine blossom' behind her. An American lady residing in Zurich, Nary H. 0, Booth, being at the rooms of the American Goa• sulate when the poor woman came trembling in with her gift, wrote the following impromptu lines for the donor, and placed them in the cup: It lient much, Herr Consul. that I have brought to day ; lint you're welcome to the little, as to the flowers of May.

THt KNICKERBOCKER KITCHEN. The Knickerbocker kitchen was Wall bleat. The great fires in the chimney-corner roared out more brightly and pleasantly than ever before since the temporary opening of the building. The kitchen utensils, polished up according to the most uncom promising style of old Knickerbocker excellence, glittered like the golden vessels of the JeWish temple on ionie high festal day. Everything was as clean as a pin, as the saying goes, and as neat as woman's hands could make it. A savory and satisfactory smoke issued from the chimneys, betraying a feet well known to the ladies within the building, that these were several varieties of good things in pro. Gess of culinary conversion, not excepting the "candle," of which we have already had come ex• perience. The forms of two rollicking old cats were to be seen quietly snoozing by the fire, while an old negro fiddler contributed to the occasion by "making night hideous" with some very solemn and dreamy performance' on an old fiddle. He was desolately accompanied by two colored youths, who sat in another corner of the chimney, on a onotonsued in• stiument, commonly known as the jewsharp, though we do not remember any eminent Hebrew who ever distinguished himself on it. The music in this department Wall not very harmonious, to be sure, but yet it was attractive enough. and reatioded all good Koteketboekera of the hale old times when there was foliating in every ball, dad beards wagged all * ' ' Win"— the Swiss penult's word for " wine " Colonel Frank W olrord His Political Sentiments.

In conversation Ire ex• prettied briefly some of his political opinions, which may not be uninteresting to your readers. He al, ways denied that slavery existed anywhere by Di vine right, but Only by legal right. He never could. believe that one person has a natutal right to hold' possession of mother, however inferior he may be. He has no ohjection to the mere enrolment of slaves, but is opposed to enlisting thorn. He would have some owner proceed into camp And take away his negro, that the questioe might be brought at or ce before the courtei whose decision should govern all loyal Kentuckians. • He believes the institution tits been - hurtful to Kentucky, and has aliens been in favor of a gr..- dual removal of the blacks into a separate region. Be thinks the employment of negroes as soioiera a poor piece of economy, so long as we have aue'a an Minutiae en of wilileg white men..-A black regiment Will not do as much and as goad service as a white one, while the expense of maintaining each is equal in amount. He would employ them without stint in other works. Pub ten thousand of them to work to build a railroad over the Cumberland mountains to Kreniville. It would be much more sensible than to put them into regiments to bungle through the drill in camp, while East Tennessee was starv ing. The Colonel is strongly of the belief teat Longarreet's cavalry Will go into Kentucky, proba bly by way of Somerset, Kentucky. Be thinks they can have no other possible design. Ho believes John Morgan to be intending the moue thing. The latter is a good commander over 3,000 men, but quite fails to manage a greater number. Decree of the Mexican Regency. The Courrier des Etats Unfs publishes the fel /owing important decree, issued at the Department of Foreign Affairs, at the Imperial Palace of hlexi• co, March 4, 1864: “The Regency of the Empire being informed that many individuals among those who, coming from abroad, have entered the territory- Of the .Empire through the ports of the Pacific, 'undertake to claim property in rich portions of the Mexican soil in virtue of contracts made with the Government of Benito Juarez, have decreed that publicity be again given through the press to the decree of July 23, 1863, still in force, which declares null and void all contracts made or to be made with Beano Juarez, as these contracts affect properties and rights be longing to the nation, which the Imperial Govern• meet will claim and enforce at all times."

TROUBLE IN CHINA—SERIOUS RIOT AND ATTA.ON ox IIIisSIONARIES.—R. letter dated Fah Chau, China, January 22, which we find published in the Times, of India, given an account of some Serious difficulties which had just occurred in that city. The trouble originated in the natives making noisy demonstrations against the missionaries, by inter• rupting the religious services. Some of those guilty of these outrages were arrested at the instance of the mis gloomier, and the natives, excited at this ac. tion, attacked a native missionary, and maltreated him outrageously. Afterward they attacked the chapel of the Methodist Mission, then that of the Episcopal Mission, and afterward that of the Ameri can Board. No injury seems to have been done to the persons of the foreign missionaries, although the wives of the native missionaries were outraged. At last accounts quiet had • been restored r and the foreign consuls had taken measures to bring the of fenders to justice. PRESENTATION TO PB.ESIDENT LINOOLN.—The Washington correspondent of the Newark Adver tiser writes as follows : An affair of considerable interest came off at the White House on Saturday last in the presence of a small party of visitors, being the formal presentation of a very Choice cal. lection of wax fruits to "Abraham and Mary Lin coln," from Mrs. Caroline Johnston, a highly re spected colored Friend, oLPhiladelphia, as a testi. monial of her appreciation of the President's ser vices in behalf of her oppressed race. Though some. remarks were Made by NM J., the presentation speech was made by the Bev. James fiamilton,,a Baptist clergyman of the above city, who touchingly alluded to the past sufferings of his people, tothe rapid progress of their deliverance under the present Administration, and their hopes of the future and asked the President to accept of the gift as a 463 a- - of the handiwork of a lady of color, and. sa an evidence of their confidence and esteem for the chief who had brought then% thus far out of the land of bondage. Mr. Lincoln briefly responded, returniug thanks for the beautiful present, referring to-the diffi cultiea with which he had been surrounde4 and as cribing the wondrous changes of the pant three years to the rulings of an all-wise Providence. The work is glued at $350, We understand that Tam Lincoln Intends having it repacked for shipment to her home in Illinois.

But the author of " The Gentleman , ' and of " Scenes and Thoughts in Europe," can afford to fall where so many and more ambitious writeri have not suc ceeded. Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, has written a volume in forty-eight chapter', with an appendix, which he calls "A Scriptural, Ecclesiastical, and HMtorloal View of Slavery, from the days of the Patriarch Abraham to the Nineteenth Century," which be has addressed to Bishop Potter, of Penn sylvania. It is an ingenious specimen of special pleading in vindication of Slavery. Dr. Hopkins goes farther in this than any other Writer, stoutly maintaining that slave flogging if more NM fOr the offender, both in mind and body, more merciful, and more effectual, than imprisonment.

THE MONEY HARM. Pair,Apsuum, April 7, 1864 Gold operators seem detihmined to set the efF4rts of Mr. Chase at defiance. Gold advances in the very teeth of his price for the gold notes. Whether or not they could stand a protracted battle, is or is not yet to be tented. Mr. Chase, with the vast means at hie coin mend. ought to be able to sontrol the niteatet t but that gold speculators will make extraordinary efforts to de• feat him is perfectly natural and to be expected, and if by rapid movements and heavy advances they can in• timidate the Secretary into a moral disbelief of the sin cere of his efforts, the sooner they can do it, the better for them There. of coarse, is no reason to obi sat to a certain glass of operators making money by a certain preccas, if the currency ofthe nation were not seemingly depreciated by their transactions. They might run gold to GOO. and pocket millions, and we should not object, did not national c. edit suffer. and prices of the newels& ries of life advance to fabulons prices. For these two reasons alone considerable effort should be made to de, feat the I =pant gold speculators, and we should like to see the experiment tried for awhile. We anticipated violent opposition by the gold cliques, and they vont thelr power in causing Violent and unwarrantable flue toslione in tte prices thereby unsettling business, and, rai.ins a clamor from the commercial community. From 169,% to 170% was paid to• day for gold, settling strong at 1693% u be five-twenty bonds sold up to 112, 113;4 bid for 1831 s. It is argued that it is Impossible to keep down the price of gold and at the same time dispose of the new ten-forty loan, That which controls the one governs the other_ The loan cannot be freely taken without more green backs are issued to moke the money market easier, and if that is done gold advances as a natural result. There Is certainly some truth in this But the war mast go on and money must be raised. If the public do not feel dis posed with their present means to subeari be freely, give them mere ready cash and let gold advance The higher gold is the less will conr importation be. and home manu factures to tl at degree will be encouraged. Besides which it will make our securities cheaper in Europe and large orders may come tens. . Pro and con, the advance of gold is a good and en evil, and it would require a long discusi ion to cover all the points of each side. Com mending the subject to the careful investigation of wiser heads than our own, we hope that everything will be lovely and greenbacks will soon be above par.
