ttit '4lrtss. MONDAY, ,SEPTEMBER 18, 1865 The Supporters of General Patrick. From the New York Daily News, that truly loyal and patriotic sheet, we take the to/low ing in relation to the woulti-he next New York State Treasurer: _ . " Without reference to political questions, we are convinced that General Patrick, the nominee of the Democratic State Convention for treasurer of the State, will, if elected, make a good and faithful eivil officer; be cause his conduct as a military officer in a trying and thankless position has proved him to be a gentleman, and a conscientious, hu mane and honorable man.

The recent developments show conclusively that stolen Government bonds have been dis poSed of to innocent parties by altering the. numbers thereof. Some bonds recently pur chased have turned out to be of this character. The alterations are very skilfully executed, and are likely to eaeape notice unless closely scrutinized. It is done by adding a figure before or after the number of the bond and on each coupon—thus : bond No. 1.226, by adding a figure. before or after the number, is made 11,226 on 12,2151, thereby 'rendering the caution to the public not to negotiate bonds bearing the original numbers of stolen ones wholly inefficient.

We understand that the difficulty with the miners in the Lackawanna region, respecting wages, has been amicably settled. We may consequently expect large supplies of coal, that at tint it was thought would be withheld, and consequently lower prices. It is not the interest of the coal trade that prices should run up too high, and we are therefore glad that the upper tendency should be checked by the compromise in the Lacawanna Region, Counterfeit one-dollar legal-tender notes are in circulation. The specimens we have seen are poorly executed. The paper is bad, the color is a much lighter green than the genuine bill, and the engraving is indifferent. The na tional currency hills promise to defy imitation better than any class of bank notes yet in cir culation. It should be remembered, however, that the temptation to counterfeiting was never so great as it is now, from the variety and im mensityoi the national issues. It IS Manning tO find that imitations of some of the higher de nominations of 'United States bonds have been executed with a skill which almost defies de tection expect by experts. Clearly, our police have work befOre them which demands in. creased and incessant vigilance, if the whole country is not to be doodad with a spurious currency. It is important that the people generally should awake to this conviction be. fore it is too late. The publishers of the Bankers , Magazine has issued a volume containing a list of one thou sand five hundred and thiity-four of the na tional banks, Or all that had been authorized on the 24th of August, 1863, together with the names of the president and cashier of each, and the capital stock; the name of the redemption agent of each bank, and the banks acting as depositories of the public moneys. The annual meeting of the Boston and Maine Railroad Company was held at Lawrence, Mass., on the 13th inst. Over twelve hundred persons, many of whom were ladies, were present to vote for directors. The profits of the road during the past three months wore represented at over one ,hundred and twenty five thousand.dollars, which is at the rate of half a million a year. Trains were to commence runninc on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, from Columbus, Ky., through to Mobile, on the 13th instant. This road was partially closed during the four years of the rebellion. A boat will connect at Columbus for Cairo, and the mail Milne car• vied through in one day.
