west of that river. A considerable number
have found a refuge in which they are not
likely to be soon disturbed, in the Indian
Territory west of Arkansas and south of
Kansas. But meanwhile many wild bands
and tribes are scattered in the territories
which are now being settled by - our
hardy pioneers. Some are still left in
California, Oregon, Minnesota, and Ne
vada, and many roam over parts of Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah, Dacotah, Colorado,
New Mexico, and Arizona. Of late many
depredations have been committed, and
there have been numerous attacks upon de
tached-parties who were travelling•over the
great overland emigrant route. The tele
graphic wires have - also ,been cut; por
tions of the stock of the overland mail-coach
line have been stolen, and the cattle have
been driven off from a number of isolated
ranches. A. number of white emigrants
have already been captured and killed.
The captives who have been fortunate
enough to regain the frontier posts of
civilization, give fearful accounts of the
sufferings and indignities to which they
have been subjected, and of the demoniac
cruelty of their captors. The Daisy Union;
Videttc, of Salt Lake City, of August.lsth,
publishes the statements of two women
who, after a weary captivity of nearly one
year, -were finally rescued. One, a Mrs.
LUCINDA EWBANRe., born in. Pennsylvania,
and aged twenty-four years, was taken
from her home by the Cheyenne Indians
in August, 1864. She was subjected to the
worst of outrages, and traded, first, to " Two
Face," a Sioux,. afterwards transferred by
him to " Black Foot," another Sioux, and
transferred back from the latter to the former,
who finally gave her up to our authorities at
Fort Laramie. She was frequently beaten in
an unmerciful manner by hel• savage masters,
and a series of injuries were inflicted upon
her children which eventually caused their
death. The Indians frequently set out on.
expeditions to kill white settlers and emi
grants, and to steal stock. A Mrs. MAR
TIN, captured also in August, 1864, while
accompanying an emigrant train, composed
of twelve men, who were all killed, relates
her experience. Once, when the Indians
became intoxicated, they shot at her as a
convenient target. On another occasion
she saw them hang two white women. A
Child by her side was pierced with four
arrows, which caused its instant death.
Scalp dances and sham battles were of fre
quent occurrence. After innumerable suf
ferings and hardships she met an Indian,
who treated her very kindly, and she was
finally purchased by white traders, who
restored her to her friends. These brief
sketches give but a faint idea of the many
enormities which are continually being.per
petrated, and which, as may naturally be
supposed, have generated a feeling of an
tagonism in the breasts of the pioneers
of our country, which differs widely
from the humanitarian proclivities that
distinguish many citizens of the Atlantic
sea-board. The extermination of the sa
vages is constantly being demanded
by the people of the territories, and al
thouet. the Government is not likely to
yield to such a request, much is being done
to secure future protection. While a large
number of troops are stationed at our nu
merous forts, and at such points along lines
of travel as are most frequently threatened,
and while attempts are being made to form
new treaties, which it is supposed will
secure the future good behavior of impor
tant tribes, General Co2e2Trat's expedition
against some of the most dangerous and
destrntaive.:lnd;a..o
important results. The Videtto of the 19th
ult. says
“WHERE Tear Ann.—Four of Wgskeelsbraves
came in to Fort Bridger a few days since, di
rect from the vicinity of Powder river, and
bring a report which is of great interest at
this time. They say that the hostile Indians
are camped on that stream in large force, the
lodges, about one thousand in number, being
aranged in an immense circle, inciosing a large
area,into which their animals are driven nights
for safety. From this point bands, small
and large, take their departure to commit
depredations on the telegraph and stage
routes, and to steal horses, which are driven
rapidly away to their stronghold. This, too,
is the objective point to which the several
columns under General Connor are converg
ing, doubtless with a full knowledge of the
situation on the part of the commanding offi
cer. Waskee, who understands the plan of
the campaign, and has perfect knowledge of
the locality, declares that the Indians cannot
escape, a belief which we trust may prove
well founded?,
Whatever be the results of this expedi
tion, it is certain that our Government will
not long permit the travellers on an impor
tant international highway to be attacked
with impunity. The Indians must be
driven off from the line at all hazards, and
compelled to sue for peace. The day is
rapidly approaching when %they will be
forced to conform in some slight degree to
the customs of civilization or to perish.
The nation can no longer afford to have its
progress impeded by surrendering the con
trol of the richest portion of its domain to
savage tribes.

Wasaibrerox, September 15,1865,
The Treasury.
Yesterday the littelligencer, with accustomed
accuracy, in noting the arrest of a young mita
for altering a two-dollar note to a fifty, speaks
of "the familiar profile of JOHN JAY, flrSt See- .
rota* of the Treasury," upon the two-dollar
bill. The first Secretary of the Treasury was
ALIINANDER HAMILTON, and HAMILTON'S profile
appears upon both the two-dollar and fifty
dollar notes, thus rendering alteration compa
ratively easy.
The practice of repeating vignettes en notes
of different denominations is very objection
able, and invites the substitution of a high for
a low denomination by counterfeiting. This
practice occurred on the earlier issues of the
Treasury, but in the later plates prepared at
the Treasury, such repetitions have been care
fully avoided, and no denomination of late
issue has been successfully changed.
The Virginia Battle-Fields.
Parties from the North and elsewhere - hay.
lug repeatedly of late visited the battle-fields
in Virginia, and appropriated to their own
use property found thereon belonging to the
Government, Gen. Taliar, commanding the
Department of Virginia, bas'issued an order
prohibiting the prrehase, sale or shipment to
the North by private parties of fragments of
Shell, fragments cf arms, the metallic parts of
equipments or accoutrements, or of any other
article designed for military use, excepting
such articles as are or have been sold by the
authorized agents of the Treasury Depart
ment.
The Rewards Awarded.
The parties e,ptitled to the reward offered by
the Government for the captnre of those en
gaged in the conspiracy plot and assassination
of the late Mr. Lumonn, have been selected by
the War Department, and it is understood
that their names will bl 3 made public. shortly.
Promotions for officers conspicuous in bring
ing the conspirators to justice have been made
out, and are awaiting the signature of the
Secretary of War, who is now absent from the
city,
The Pacific, Railroad.
In consequence of the washing away of
bridges and destruction of culverts by rain on
the line of the Kansas branch of the Pacific
Railroad, the President has revoked his former
order relative to the payment of bonds to the
company, and no more public money will be
paid .the company until they construct the
road in a manner conforming with the con
tract.
Decision.
I feel authorized to say that there is no
truth in the statement that the Secretary Of
the Treasury has decided tO issue five-twenty
bonds in exchange for compound•interest
notes. The Secretary has various financial
measures under consideration and advise
ment, but has taken no definite steps upon any
of them.
Lend Operations.
The General Land Onicchasreeeivedreturns
from the land office at lonia, Michigan, which
show that during the month of August 7,2%1.45
acres of the public domain were taken up for
actual settlement under the prOviSiOne Of the
homestead act.

hot weather,
A letter to the Halifax Express states that
11. M. S. • Urgent, passed the place where
cable-buoys are said to have been placed, but
with best lookout of officers could see none
of them. It is suppOOd they have gone
adrift.
James L. Orr, of South Carolina, at one time
speaker of the House of Representatives, was
yesterday pardoned by the President.
The Revenue Cutter Service.
The Secretary of the Treasury has issued
circular letter to collectors of the customs
having charge of revenue cutters. It gays,
among other fltillga, that the requirements of
the law will not be satisfied by simply speak
ing in-coming vessels, but they must be board
ed and actually examined, a certified copy of
the manifest received, and the hatches fas
tened.
If, on such examination, there be just
grounds for suspicion that•the vessel contains
dutiable goods not on the manifest, and de
signed to be smuggled into the United States,
a commissioned officer of the Gutter, or if one
be not availabla, a petty officer of the cutter
will be placed on board the vessel, to remain
with her until she arrives at her destination.
These duties are imperative, and a faithful
performance of them will be rigorously en
acted. The regulations are modified so as to
forbid the diversion of the cutters under any
circumstances, or on any pretext - from the
service, except by the express authority of
the department. One of the objects of this
modification is to prevent the cutters from
being used for mere pleasure excursions.
In addition to the duties, specially devolved
- upon the cutters by law, of boarding incoming
vessels and certifying manifests, they will be
required to maintain a general surveillance' of
the coast lying within theirresp ective cruising
limits, with the view of preventing the unau
thorized landing of foreign merchandise, and
the evasion of import duties.
'When cutters are supplied with both sails
and steam-power, they should ordinarily rely
upon the former, and use the latter as a pro
pelling power only on emergencies, when it
may be necessary to increase the speed of the
vessel to accomplish some important and de
finite object. This is required as a measure of
economy.
Counterfeit Treasury Notes.
A dangerous counterfeit was received at
the Treasury tatlity of a $lOO compound-in
terest note, bearing date May 15th, 1865. It is
much better executed than any counterfeit
heretofore presented :Ind requires some scru
tiny for its detection, Beth the face and back
are printed in paler ink than the genuine, and
on careful examination, the lettering on the
face appears defective. Brokers, bankers, and
others, Should compare the offerings with the
genuine before accepting them.
No other denomination than $lOO compound
int erest notes have yet been counterfeited, and
all the compound-interest notes except the
$lOO now can, therefore, he taken without
special examination. One of thcga Collator
felts was sent from Philadelphia and another
from New York.
Gen. Naive •Yristory of Fort Sumpter.
lireyet Major General Meras has written a
letter on the matter of the Sumi4ter and Pic

in the New York Tribune and those of Captain
Fox. As ho was familiar wits . the inception of
the Pickens expedition, he deems it proper lie
should call attention tor some of the facts in
the case. Making a comparison of dates, and
giving facts to show tl;kat the Secretary of
State is not liable to the charge of having de.

which the President had assigned her, without

tion was agreed upon. The Pickens expedi
tion was planned and ordered with the know
ledge only of the President, the Secretary
of State, Lieutenant General SCOTT, Colonel
E. D. Knvns, and myself. When Lieutenant
PORTER was detailed to command the naval
portion of the expedition, its object was eons•
municated to him.' When Colonel HAR,Vav
BROWN was assigned to command the troops,
his instructions made known to him its desti
nation, and to none Others in or out of the
expedition was its destination known, until
we were nearly in sight of the sand hills Of
Pensacola.
This, the first successful military expedi
tion of the war, originated with Mr. SSIVARD . ,
and until it sailed the United States had de
clined everywhere. Fortresses and harbors
had been Idst. He carried me to the Presi
dent, merely saying that he thought the Presi
dent ought to ace some of the young officers,
and not consult only with men who, if a war
broke out, could not mount a horse." When
the President struck out of the instructions
prepared for the commander of the expedition
the authority to declare martial law at Key
West and the Gulf coast, Mr. SEWASID induced
him to restore it. The authorities of Florida
bad in February arrested and held me to bail
for defending the rights of the Yankee fisher
men of the Tortugas against the unconsti
tutional impositions of a Florida sheriff.
The secession slag flewover the court-house
at Key West, within musket shot of Fort Tay
lor, but on the declaration of martial-law,
which shortly followed our arrival in the gulf,
Judges, sheriffs, clerks, and mayor, fled from
-Key West to the main land, and the present
loyal Provisional Governor of Florida was
elected mayor of Key West, and that im
portant post returned to its allegiance.
Some interference with the later program
me of another expedition, it seems, arose from
the secresy with which both were organized,
but the most important posts and fortresses
in the Gulf, Pensacola, Key West, and the
Tortugas, were saved to the United States, all
well fortified; add the lieets,l - whiek would.
have been necessary for their reduction or
blockade, were made available at other points,
which had been lost by the supineness of the
Preceding Administration.
Even if the victualling of Fort Sumpter was
prevented, the United States still, at Fort
Sumpter, asserted its desire and determina
tion to possess tbat fortress, which could not
then have held out long against the batteries
by - which the rebels had, already been per
mitted to encircle it; and who will assert that
a few days provisions, more or less, in Sump
ter, would compare in importance with the
retention of the well-fortified harbors of Pen
sacola and the Florida reefs 'I
Secresy has its incoveniences, but upon per
tfeet seeresy depended these great stakes; and
so well kept was the secret, that, in the re
turning steamer Atlantic, brought back to
New York at once the news of the destination
and of the success of the expedition.
Virginia State Convention.
It is proposed to hold a State mass conven
tion of the original loyal people of Virginia,
at Alexandria, in a short time, to the delibera
tions of which will be invited all loyal refu
gees who have not yet returned to the State.
Alexandria is proposed as the point at which
the convention shall assemble, because of its
easy access to those in the interior, both by
railroad and water, and because of its prox
imity to Baltimore ani Washington, where
large numbers of loyal Virginians yet reside,
though still claiming a residence in Virginia,.

Murder in New York.
At about six o'clock this morning an affray
occurred in the liquor store of Wm. Kehoe,
N 0.29 Coenties slip, resulting in the death of
a canal boatman named Frank Billager. It
appears that the deceased and two compan
ions entered the porter-house at the hour
above stated, and soon became involved in
a quarrel with the proprietor, who ordered
them out of his place, bat they refused
to leave. Kehoe then undertook to put
them out, and while so doing, BiNagar
threatened to cut Kehoe with a bowie
knife. Kehoe then drew a sir barreled Smith
& Wesson's pistol, and fired at Billagar. The
bullet entered the left side of the head, and
lodged in the brain, death ensuing in a few
moments, The body was then conveyed to the
First precinct station house, and Coroner
Wildey was notified to hold an inquest. In
the meantime Kehoe went to the Fourth pre
einet.stat ion house, and surrendered himself.
Ire stated that he had killed the deceased, but
had) acted in self-defence. Coroner Wildey
empanelled a jury, and several witnesses ware
examined. . .
. „
The jury, after reviewing the testimony, ren
dered a verdict, "that the deceased came to
his death by a pistol-shot wound at the hands
of Wm. Kehoe, ou the 15t11 day of September,
1865, at No. '26 Coenties slip.- -
Itehoe was remanded to the Torahs. He is
thirty-two years of age, a native of Ireland,
and resides at No. it Cherry street. He
claimed to have acted throughout in self
defence.
The deceased was thirty-three years of age,
and a French Canadian. He had a reputation
as a quarrelsome and vindictive man.—N. Y.

We know the professional, habitual, incorri

morning waiting for the gin-shops to open, or
hanging about Bow street at four o'clock in

comrade off in the van to COldbatliglelds. There
he is, in his slouching, shabby garb, his foul
linen, his t,and knotted neckerchief, his
batters d " lace-up.boots." He doesn't
look li eostermonger ; he doesn't look like
a Mechanic out of employ ; he looks only like
what he is--a low, blackguard thief. We }MOW
frem what rookeries he emerges, what tap
room he frequents, what drabs he maintains,
what song he sings, what crime he commits.
We know how the police hunt him down ; how
he lies at full length like a wolf in the station..
house cell, how he is brought into the court
himdeuffed, and how, when. sentenced to a
slant term of imprisonment, he tells the ma
gistrate that he " can- do that little lot on his
head." We can trace his- career- from area
sneaking and-till-robbing to .the bolder, flights
of " cracking cribs" and "putting. on the
hug;' and he is_ alternately "front-stall,"
"bank-stall," and ;I ugly ; man," till he gets
convicted of- felony and; scat to penal servi

be can assume when.his dungeon door-at Pen

gistrate, and'how eloquent he can be on the.
subiect of. a contrite heart and the chastening ;
of the spirit when there is a chaplain to,be
" garnmoned." We know how, at Portland or
Dartmoor, he literally " tickles the earth with
a spade," and laughingly gathers: a. harvest of
cocoa-nibs, suet-pudding with, treacle, and
beef free from bone. We know; to our sorrow
and our cost, how he often gets a ticket-of
leave before his spirit has beembaltehastised;
how he frequently commits another robbery
and incurs a. fresh sentence;. but how, unless
he happens to lose his head, nd, giving way
wholesale to his Wild-beagt instincts, dashes
out a warder's brains with an ironpot, he very
seldom gets hanged ; for the criminal pur sang
has, as a rule, an 'exceeding tenderness for his
own skin. He does his best to keep to wind
ward 01 - the gall9WS, and is very much in dread
of Dm eat-o'-pine-tads.
This is the criminal man—Bill Sykes, " Scat

THE DEFENSE OW CHAMP FERGUSON
The trial of the notorious guerilla, Champ
Ferguson, having been concluded at Nashville,
the prisoner's counsel read an argument for
the release of the prisoner. The principal
points were as follows :
The court win rernemb6t that the universal
tenor of the evidence is that t in all cases where
the defendant was proven to have committed
a wrong, it was against those who had wronged
him or adthreatened to do so.
It
tion has
d b t e h e e n ge u t l e l n y e s e h , o t w h ant, b t r a b a y te th o e f pr h o e s e s e c u a. -
tion in which the acts alleged to have been
unlawfully committed was that of perfect
chaos.
No law prevailed, no order could be restored.
The military of either side permitted it to
f r e ma s in ar t o iti se pl;Ot h e i c e t u eg owe r e d ad th stt e a re ie fo a r te e a p b or y so p n e a r t .
soma force.
- .
That this has been mutual is shown by the
testimony of the first and other witnesses for
the prosecution, as well as witnesses for the
defence,
Why, therefore, should one individual be'
punished, and others equally guilty of the
same offence be held blamelessi
It appears by the testimony of at least two
witnesses that the defendant was a commis
sioned officer of the rebel forces, and such acts
as he committed were under the direction of
superior officers of the Confederate States.
That the commanding officer should be re
sponsible, and not the individual who was com
pelled so to act, is plain. See Halleck's Inter.
Law and Laws of War, page 355 and following.
But even admit, for the sake of argement,
that all falls to the ground, that the prisoner's
commission does not protect him, that lie
should be punished for the acts committed un
der positive directions from his superior offi
cers, that he bad no right to defend himself,
that his organization of a company was ille
gitimate, that that command had done vio
lence,. yet is not the letter of Major General
George IL Thomas to Major General Lovell IL
Rousseau a complete pardon for all past sins,
provided the conditions therein contained
to show that weTrheecomplied
plainly
imme
diately on the reception of the information
therein contained, the prisoner accepted the
same, and was anxious to lay down the.bloody
sword so long wielded with the bloodstained
swords of his opponents.
He willingly gave up his followers, and di
rected them to sacredly swear, in the pre
sence of their divine Creator, that hereafter
the blood of their follow-man no longer
attach to their garments.
All this was done; yet of all the band ; of all
within his own section of the country; of all
within the noble Department of the lAnnber
land ; of all within the scarred lands of the
Potomac; of all within the bounds of th
United States, who had identified themselves
with similar independent bands, he alone was
refused pardon.
Why is it that all others are permitted to go
free and he punished.?

li111211•111 , 1Ce - wri - VrIlmr•
[From the Chattanooga Gazette.)
We bad the pleasure of a brief interview
yesterday with .Mrs. E. M. Warren, just arrived
from Eutaula Alabama, on her way to Nash
ville. Mrs. Warren has served as nurse and
matron in the rebel hospitals in Georgia
through Out the entire period of the rebellion.
She left her home and friends in Tennessee
at the beginning of the war, and offered her
services as a nurse to the rebel authorities,
with the full determination, if her services
were accepted, to deal with a gentle hand, and
administer to the wants of the sick and wound
ed alike to both friend and foe. How well she
has kept this truly Christian resolve through-
out her lengthy experience with the maimed
and fallen victims of the recent bloody war, is
best known to herself and to Him who
prompted her Christian administration.
We believe her to 1)o a good woman, as the
sequel will bear testimonr We acknowledged
her refinement and intelligence, and learned
from her the following sad account of affairs
at Andersonville and. Albany, under the
management of the notorious Wirz, in the win
ter 011864. . _ .
Airs. Warren was Sant from the Empird 1102 s,
pital, at Atlanta, on or about the Ist of Decem
ber, to lend her aid to the sick and wounded,
at Albany Hospital, Doherty county, Georgia.
On her way thither she visitect Andersonville,
at "MAC1113%013 she stopped Corer for several
days, for the ostensible purpose of waiting on
the sick, 'wounded, and prisoners, and learn
from personal observation whether the sick,
&c., were being treated in such a cruel and in
harpan manner as reported and whispered
among the nacre Christian and humane people ,
of Atlanta. ‘,
Mrs. W. visited the sick, wounded and priso
ners, but ere she half completed her contem
plated tour, her heart so sickened at what she
saw in that foul den, that she covered her eyes
with horror, and turned away and Knight
refuge beyond the limits of the place where
naught could be seen but o man's inhumanity
to man." She saw half-clad, living skeletons,
devoid of shoes and stockings standing
upon the frosty ground, and occasionally lift
their feet, goose- eke, and wrap them in the
tattered rags that hung about their person,
and press their feet close to the body, for its
warmth to shield them from the frost.
Groups of men could be seen hovered around
and over green pine -wood fires with their
faces and pOLSOIic Soblack cried with the soot
of the pine -wood smoke that they appeared
like negroes.
Other men could be seen engaged in carry
ing the dead bodies from the straw pallets of
the den,. stacking . them up at the entrance to
be earned away for interment 'without coffins,
or friends or comrades to follow the corpse to
its resting-place.
Inhuman wretches were there, clad in gray,
with muskets, overlooking these sad and sol
emn movements of the dead; and should onc
of the prisoners, engaged in moving the dead,
fall under the weight imposed Upon him, the
wretches in gray would prick them with.their

And not unfrequently the bodies of soldiers
were carried away for intermenthefore life
was Witanot•
Other bodies were carried past with wisps
of straw in either hand, grasped in the last
agonies of death.
Oh, horror! Let justice be quickly meted
out to those who are guilty of such shocking
Crimes I
We did not further questieh Meg. W. for par.
ticulars respecting the foul deeds she saw
enacted, and crimes perpetrated at Anderson
ville upon the prisoners, for Year of touching
upon too delicate matters, for we had already
discovered that our fair informant's modesty
prompted her to keep silent.
She further stated, however, that while in
company with several ladies, she saw Wirz, at
which time she addressed him, and remote
strated against such inhumantreatment of the
prisoners under his command. The colloquy
terminated by Mrs. W. calling Wire a" Dutch
monster." Wire replied by saying that ,4 se
veral, ladies of Anciersonvtlie had recently very
mysteriously left the town for making similar ek,-
p 7e nions; and you may go tin the same way, if
you persist in making such expressions."
'fairs.- Warren became frightened at this re
inark of Wirz, and the /EOM accompanying
advised her to leave Andersonvino zat onee,
for if she remained, Wire would certainly do
as he said, or intimated—put her out of the
way.
Mrs. W. left the town the following morn
ing, and went direct to Albany, Doherty coun
ty, Georgia, where she entered the hospital
as matron.
. .
On or about the 15th of December the pri
soners of And ersonville were moved to Albany
in consequence of an expected advance of the
Federal cavalry. At Albany the prisoners, Or
many of them, were forced to climb the china
trees at that place and eat the dry berries,
which are very astringent, and. said to be
poisonous. The china-tree berries of the South
are never eaten by anybody, under, any Mr
cumstanees.
At this place the prisoners were camped in
an open seld, 'grown up with sedge grass,
without tents or blankets, and with scarcely
sufficient clothing to cover their nakedness.
On account of the severe cold, the . prlsoners
dug holes in the. ground and burie.l them
selves, as best they egtild i te.shielcl thelneelifeS
from the inclement weather.,
The prisoners remaxned , at this place three.
weeks, with barely sufficient food to sustain
life, in ' consequence of which many of. them.
became so weak and faint that they could not
- walk.
At the close of the time Stated above, the
prisoners were ordered to return to Anderson
vine. Those that could not march did not fall
in when so ordered, but remained in the camp
in their Mee t Offered with sedge grass,
(which bad been found In the field, end was
gathered by band and tlliown upon the-loose
rails over the holes in etto ground, forming a
covering that shielded them from the frosts of
winter,) to be burned alive, as Wirz ordered
the camp to be mired. and Many a poor, sick,
faint prisoner was burned to death on the
spot, and many died after in SoriseqUenee of
their injuries.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERVII/o
There was a good deal of activity tto
stock market yesterday, and the railroad fist.
especially was considerably firmer. Govern
meat loans were in steady demand, and gtne
rally at higher figures. The live-twenties
(new) sold at 10534—an advance of W I . Thete
was nothing said in the 1881 s. The Seven
thirties were held for higher figures, with
sales of August notes at 90X, June at 9934, and
July at WA. For State loans there is no de;
mend. City Gs were dropping, the new selling
at 90%, and the municipals at td. Company
bonds were inactive. In the share market
there was a lively movement, but for Reading
prices fell a shade. Catawissa was again very
active, and holders less disposed to sell,
except at higher figures, which were
readily obtained. The preferred stock sold
at 27%, an advance of 134 ; and the com
mon at 1534, an advance of 1%. Lehigh Valley
was steady at e 4; Pennsylvania Railroad sold
at Which is a further advance of %. 127
was bid for Camden and Amboy ; 25 for Little
Schuylkill ; 5734 for Norristown ; 56 for Mine
bill; 253. e. for North Pennsylvania; 40 for El
mira preferred ; and 23 for Philadelphia and
Erie. City Passenger Railroad stocks meet a
moderate inquiry. We note further sales of
liestonville at 1834, and Race and Vine at 1134
4834 was bid for Tenth and Eleventh ; 1934 for
Thirteenth and Fifteenth ; 123( for Spruce and
Pine; 18 for Aseh-street ; 31 for Green and
Coates; 26 for Girard College ; and 20 for Union.
Canal shares arc less active, at. 2% for Schuyl

The Philadelphia, Germantown and Norris•
town Railroad Company have declared a divi
dend of four per cent. on the capital stock,
payable on and after the 1M 4f October.
The Clements Oil Company have declared a
dividend of 234 per cent. on the capital stock,
payable on the 14th inst.
We notice that several oil companies are ad
vertising calls for assessments to replenish
their depleted treasuries. Many of these in.
stitutions that were started on large capitals,
with a small working reserve, are still keep.
ing up expensive offices and clerical forces at
big salaries, which are perfect sinecures.
These parties are living off the declining for•
tunes of companies that can • never pay the
shadow of a dividend to the stockholders ; and
now, in their failure and despair, they make
still another demand on the impoverished
stockholders for more money, tinder the plea
that it would keep the company from being
sacrificed. Perhaps in a few instances it would
have that effect, but in the majority of eases it
is another ruse to raise money for selfish ends.
'Why not accompany the eel with aau met
and sworn statement how the original funds
have been expended I Let there be faithful re
ports made, that every stockholder can look
at and knew for himself whether he has been
swindled, or his loss the result of causes that
could not be controlled.

The Shipping and Mercantile Circular is the
name of a new commercial journal issued in
this city, whose general merits will at once
commend it to public favor. It is pllbliMed
by Mr. Michels, who conductedthe Coal Oil
Circular with much ability, and brings to the
discharge of his new duties a long and useful
experience.
The last nail from Europe brings notice of
one of the most common of the SVlindles per.
petrated, and yet one that it is difficult to
- soainat. It seems that a merchant in
Buenos AYrce nenk. lo.a Liman in AntWerD 11 .
bill of lading of one hundred and eighty-nine
bales of wool and one bale of sheepskins, ship
ped by a vessel called the Gustave Marie. The
bill of lading came by steamer in advance of
the arrival of the vessel, with orders for insu
rance in due form, and an invoice of the goods,
against which drafts were drawn for 129,000
francs, which drafts were duly accepted. On
arrival of the vessel it was found that there
was only the bale of skins on board, the one
hundred and eighty-nine bales of wool having
been added to the bill of lading after it was
signed by the captain, as was clearly proved
by the captain's copy of the bill of lading. Ad
vances are daily made in all commercial ports
on skipping documents of merchandise, and. it
is so necessary and important ft Dart of corn.
merce that some cheek on the commission of
a fraud of the kind named should be devised
and carried into effect by general agreement,
such as a certificate from the consul, which
would at least prove the c0r5e5t116116 of a bill
of lading, though it could not prove the quali
ty of the goods.
