VOL. 9.=-NO. 50.
Mrs. &MATT a saint in petticoats, JEFFER
SON DAVIS "a stern statesman," and
1 1 HENRY Wm a persecuted German. He
helped to put up the Chicago Democratic
scaffold ; was present at the building of the
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and the Long-
Ohio platform. The only place where he
was not found was in the Union army.
The soldier never meets his returned
enemy in the Union party. He never sees
him at a Union meeting. But if he goes.
Into a Democratic assemblage, he generally
finds a Copperhead in the chair, or making
a speech, or offering resolutions in favor of
Col. W. W. H. DAVIS. And so the soldier
-votes against the Copperhead and his
friends.
THE SOLDIERS AND THE DENO
CRA.TS.
The idea of feeding a hungry man upon
the savory odors of a hospitable kitchen is
not unlike the hope of achieving a Demo : -
cratie victory by the aid of soldiers' votes,
Nor does the utter desperation of that
hope deter these politicians. They in
dulge it with an oblivious forgetfulness
beyond description ridiculous. Even their
soldier candidate, Colonel DAVIS, seems to
have lost his own memory of their noto
rious sympathy with the rebels. But that
is not surprising on his part, when we com
pare it with the feel that for three years he
allowed a furious secessionist to conduct
his own paper, " The Doyleetoten Demo
crat," and to fill it with all sorts of abuse
of the Government, and never thought
of disowning the infamy until he was
charged with being responsible for it !
Three years want of memory ! When it
was his own paper—published over his own
name, in his own town, sent to him in his
camp and read in his tent Wonderful
absent-mindedness ! But it appears that
ever since the gallant Colonel has reco
vered his memory sufficiently, yet very
feebly, to say that this three years' prosti
tution of his own columns was without
his consent (not, mark you, without his
knowledge), he has again lost that import
ant intellectual element. The Reading
Daily Evening Record, a reliable Union
paper, says, on Friday last :
" The Doylestown Democrat, owned and edit
ed by Colonel Davis, the Copperhead candi
date for Auditor General, has an editorial in a
recent issue in defence of the inhuman mon
ster, Captain Wirz v who murdered our brave
men by the slow process of starvation at An
dersonville. It asserts that the military com
mission, before which he has been put upon
trial, is a usurpation of power, and that the
prisoner has not been fairly dealt with. Colo
nel Davis, we presume, takes this course in
order to commend himself to the support Of
his party."
If then the Colonel forgets his own affairs
after this fashion, and runs into all these
Copperhead habits and phases,. how can we
expect him to remember the open treason of
the Democratic leaders of this State ? How
can we blame, if, following his example,
they decide to* forget,, oven• to deny, that
they ever did sympathize with. the rebels ?
And who will be surprised if, like the poor
starvling who tries to console, even while
tantalizing himself with the unctuous per
fumes of a round of roast beef, they foo
themselves with the hope of getting a De
mocratic victory with the aid of the soldiers'
votes ?
LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL"
WAsutammox, D. C., Sept. 26s 1865.
Political intelligence, which in the pre
sent interesting condition of public affairs
concentrates with more than usual correct
ness and steadiness at this political centre,
authorizes the confident declaration that at
the coming elections the friends-of the Go
vernment; the great Union party; will be
lawil; - triumphant. There was a brief
taiod when the desperate attempts of the
so-called Democracy to outbid , the true
friends of Andrew Johnson. on the sub
ject of reconstruction created some un
easiness, lest they might be enabled
by. hollow pretexts and the assumption of
sentiments they had bitterly: opposed du
ring all the war to secure such a hold asprac
tically to defeat the great objects supposed
to be secured by the overthrow . of the re
bellion. But every subsequent hour has
only served to re-establish the strength of
the men who have maintained:one attitude
on the great questions involved in the
prosecution and close of- the war, and to
add other proofs to, thp recklessness and
insincerity of those who • only dis
covered that Andrew. Johnson was
worthy of their support when he became
President. Probably nothing has contri
buted more to expose- the uncertain and
unreliable character. of the Democratic
leaders than the trick (of which they
now openly boast) in their recent New
York State Convention. With the ex.
ception of a few men in that body
who had been patriotic from the
first, nearly all the- leaders threw off
their honest tendency towards treason,
and put on the robes of ultra nation
ality with as complacent a smirk as the
• actor who changes one dress for another to
please a public who laugh while they know
he is deceiving them. These leaders took
this course in the full face of their constitu
ents, and calculated that they could receive
the votes of a people who were convinced
that the whole thing was a sham and a bid
for office. That any sensible men in the
Union party should have been disturbed
for a moment by such a farce is a
marvel. But that it should have awakened
indignation among those Democrats who
really believe that the mission of the De
mocratic party was to sympathize with the
rebellion during the war, and to continue
as far as possible in a course of antagonism
to Andrew Johnson, was a sequence so
logical and so irresistible that I saw the
proceedings of a protesting Democratic
meeting against the nomination of General
Slocum without surprise, because I knew
some such demonstrations would follow to
rebuke and upset the disreputable pro.
ceedings at Albany. Theo brave General
Slocum, tempted and tickled by unscrupu
lous politicians into the acceptance of their
nomination, and into the rejection of his
own cherished associations and opinions,
will now probably be added to the list of
soldiers who, after having admitted that
Copperheadism had done almost as much
to obstruct their operations in the fields of
war as the armed rebels, yielded to their
blaiadishmerat and their politics, and, as a
result, suffered humiliation and defeat.
The news from Ohio is to the effect
that General Cox, the Union candidate
for Governor, will have a stupendous
majority. There, as In New York, the
Democrats have gone to pieces, because'a
portion of them attempted to change front
and to shift platforms. Vallainligham's late
speeeheg have been of the most acrimonious_
character, boldly going to the extent of
threatening repudiation of the public debt
as a sequence of the policy of the Affinin
istration. In your neighboring State
of New Jersey there is an animation
and a heart in this struggle that looks
more like victory than anything I have
noted in years in that State. In cast
ing up the horoscope, it is just to recollect
that in every Western Commonwealth,—
notwithstanding the rumored divisions in
the Union party, and in the face of what
are called the damaging utterances of Messrs.
Sumner and Stevens,—the Democrats have
been more overwhelmingly defeated than
at any period of their history. Nor will
Pennsylvania form an exception to the
rule. But our friends must be more active.
The Democrats flatter themselves that
they have a party that is quietly at
work, and even with the aid of what
is called the " conservative " platform of
New York, and in spite of the dark flag
btildly raised by Jeremiah. S. Black at the
State Convention, upon which are inscribed
the most. shameless doctrines, they , are
stubbornly contending for the victory. The
Union men have the advantage of the pos,
session or the situation, Their State can
-didates are popular, young., and gallant
soldiers, and their platform- broad, com
prehensive and national. With these
means, and the facilities of an organiza-
tion that should control the State for"
half a century, with the aid of all the
victorious elements of the war and
the great body of the returned veterans, it
would be astonishing if a large majority
were not thrown for Hartranft and Camp
bell. What ought to help our cause im
mensely in Pennsylvania is the anomalous
attitude of the Democracy in placing sol
diers upon their ticket; and these partisans
have already experienced the fact that it is
the height of impudence and audacity for
politicians who have in no one instance, from
the beginning of the war, shown themselves
the friends of the Government, but on the
contrary have been its persistent and poison
ous assailants, to screen themselves behind
the reputation of military men as their
political candidates. If these candidates
were, in point of service, brains and popu
larity, the equals of the most brilliant and
brave of our great leaders—nay, if Colonel
Davis were General Grant, and if his asso
ciate, Linton, were Logan or Sheridan,
they could not carry such a load as the
doctrines fastened upon their back by Jere
miah S. Black, with the endorsements of
such politicians-as James Buchanan and'his
followers. OCCASIONAL.

Mexican News.
With no desire to compliment ThelPreft upon
the accuracy of its early information from
Mexico, because I am not of those who rejoice
over the downfall of a sister Republic, yet
every day establishes the truth of your special
despatch from New York, signed " Monte
zuma," and the letters of your correspondent
from Chihuahua. The intelligence publish
ed in the New York lima of yesterday,
taken from a letter written front the
neighborhood of Chihuahua, is substantially
correct. Some of the warmest friends of Je-
AREZ admit that it is impossible for the-Repub.

can prevent a full trial of the Maximilian ex

he withdraws his forces chaos worse than any.

will break loose. There is the bitterest hatred
Of the French, and even of. the Americans, in
Mexico. I saw a letter, a few days ago, from an
American gentleman, who was a surgeon in the
American army during the Mexican war, and
who is now living in one of the Meat Cinne•
bar provinces, in which he said that the
fiendish hatred of the Mexicans to foreign.
ers cannot be described. That there is a
strong- party in Mexico insisting upon the
return of the French troops cannot be ques
tioned, and is not even denied ; but the cove
nant between MAXIMILIAN and Louts NAPO..
LEON binds the latter not to leave the former
until he thinks he is able to maintain himself.
May it not be to the true interests of humanity

whether France or Austria, or any of the
foreign powers, occupies it for a time, this can
only be for an interval. Elements thus dig.

they use the very experience and intelligence
thus attained by them to throw off the yoke of
any oppressor, and to look to a higher civili

Washington Society.
The city of Washington is alive with visitors
and business. Willard's is crowded, and the
other hotels are driving an unusually heavy
business. The theatres and public resorts at
tract throngs of spectators. The large majority
of persons in Washington are from the South ;
indeed, the President sees more of them than
of any other class. Gradually they are resum
ing the avocations they left when the war
broke out, and I notice that under the gene
rous rule of the President, rebel actors, doc
tors, lawyers and politicians are reappearing
in Washington. They gem to behave well,
and are getting into business. But "the scep
tre has departed from Judea. , ' They never
will be able to resume the controlling position
they formerly held.
non. Alexander . Ramsey.
Senator RAmenv has just reached Washing.
ton from 'Minnesota, and says there is no truth
in the report that there was any difference in
the recent Union State Convention there in re.
gard to President Jot:arson's policy. There
was unanimity and enthusiasm for the Presi
dent's course, and the allegation that a resolu.
tion complimentary to him was laid upon
the table is explained in this way: After
the convention had arranged and agreed
upon a most satisfactory platform, including
a full approval of the President's policy, a
ponce outside offered an additional resolu
tion, amounting to the same thing, which wag
regarded as superfluous ' and therefore not
adopted. The Democrats looked upon this
as a division among the friends of Jotmsou,
and put up Hxittrilif.Rion as their candidate for
governor, who is now running as an exclusive
friend of the President—a trick that is well
understood in Minnesota, and heartily laughed
at even by the Democrats themselves.

The Reported Invitation to 111 r. Bright.
Hitherto it has not been necessary to form
ally contradict, on this side, the European
statement that Mr. BRIGHT had been offered
by the President a passage to this country in
the Colorado. Hero it was generally known
that the Colorado had but recently reaehed
that quarter as the flagship of Admiral
Gotnsuonouss, the commander, of our naval
!forces in European waters, and it was Justly
taken for granted that she would stay there the
usual time, unless some extraordinary reason
should soonerrequireher return. No such occa
sion has yet happened. Mr. BRIGHT, however, is
well aware of the sentiments of the President
and people of this country in regard to. him.
They know that he is one of the very few of
the leading statesmen and members of Parlia
ment in England who pave taken pains to
master the causes of our late struggle, and
who have heartily sympathised with the GeV
,ernment in its progress and at its conclusion ;
they would, therefore, welcome him whenever
he might come hither, and it is a cause of re
gret that, as ho will be detained at home by
his official duties, an opportunity for carrying
out that welcome will thereby be delayed.

mission Supplies.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—Several additional
witnesses were this morning examined for the
Government.
Dr. M. Marsh testified that he bad been em
ployed as an agent for the Sanitary Commis
sion for the States of Georgia, Florida, and the
Carolinas, from January, 1862, until the close
of the rebellion. The witness sent from Beau
fort large supplies of clothing, such as shirts,
drawers, pantaloons, and hats, and also Crack
ers condensed milk, coffee, tea, and other
articles of food. The arrangement for send.
ing the relief to the prisoners was made by
General Foster with General Sam Jones, ac-
Cording to which the goods were passed over
to the agent of the Confederate Government
at Charleston. It was known in June, 1864,
that there was suffering at Andersonville, as
escaped prisoners gave the information. The
witness had no evidence that the goods were
received 1)y tile prisoners. In November an
order was received from WanhingtOn. not to
send them any more supplies.
Cross-examined.--After the goods passed
from the Sanitary Commission they went into
the hands of the Confederate agents..
Judge Advocate Chipman pnt in evidence a
letter of Captain Wirz, lated Andersonville,
Nov. 12, 1861, addressed. to Captain Neely, as
sistant quarteimaster,. Confederate army, in
which the writer acknowledged the receipt of
eighteen packages of; clothing, five bales of
blankets, one box of, shoes, four boxes of
pants, three boxes of drawers, Seeks and
shirts, and that he should distribute them
without delay.
John B. dones_testified that he had been a,
clerk in the rebel War Department with re
gard to General Winder, that officer was very
unpopular; efforts.were made to reeloye him,
but unsuccessfully; he did not know whose
'Particular favorite General Winder was; the
latter frequently went to President Davis'
and Secretary Benjamin's offices ;.as there was
a clamor for WintienS removal, as provost
marshal, and as Winder was not removed, the
presumption was that he was sustained by
President Davis.
Philip Cashrtieyer testified that he was in the
rebel service four years, and was employed as
a detective under General Winder; the rela
tions between General Winder and 'resident
Davis were friendly ,• he had often heard Gen.
Winder say so, and had frequently seen him
go to Davis? . house; when the order carae Winder
asWar Department to relieve Gen. Winder
as Provost, Marshal, he went to President
Davis, whandoreed the order with the words,
" It is entirely unnecessary and uncalled twee
or words to that effect.; General Winder was
sent to Goldsboro to take the field, and after
wards -had his p. ewers extended by being ap
pointed, Commissary General the witness
continued with General . Winder until he died
in South. Carolina; General Winder was sent
by Secretary Seddon to Andersonvllle to lay
out the prison.
Dr. Lev,•ellyn testified that as a surgeon at
Andersonvill
e Hospital he prepared a full re
port of its condition for the' benefit of the
medical director, making suggestions as to
how an improvement might be effected.
Cross-examined. . --Dr. White was the chief
surgeon of the military prison, and left Are
dersonville abeut the time General Winder
died.
Judge Advocate Chipman then asked the
• counsel for the defence to call their witnesses.
' Mr. Baker said they were not prepared to go
on, but if the court thought it test they would
dO eo.
Colonel Chipman said that for the last fort
nigirestringent rules and regulations had keen
adopted, so as to prevent the-reception by the
prisoner of anything clandestinely. So much
so that he could not have an interview even
with his wife, excepting in the presence of an
'officer. Two or three instances had occurred
in which the rules had been violated, d, not:
or letter from the prisoner had been delivered
b 3• Mr. Schade, one of his counsel, toNrs. Wirz
without having been examined • and after
remonstrance from the officer to' Mr. soiled"
the latter was seen t 4? hand the prisoner mo
ney and a slip of paper which he crushed in
his hand. This morning a letter was passed
by the prisoner to Mr. Schade and headed to
Benegetti, one of the witnesses. Such prac
tice was improper.
The court asked Mr. Scbade whether he
could give the contents of the letter.
MT. Schade did not think it was any harm to
band a letter from Captain Wirz to his wife,
as it related only to private matters, perhaps
clothing. He gave the money to theprisoner
out of his own pocket to buy him food, and as
he did this innocently, and so frequently, he
did not hesitate openly to declare it. This
morning_ he received a letter, in the presence
of the Meets, and told the prisoner there was
nothing wrong in it. Not having,time to carry
the letter to Mrs, Wire, he bonded it to one of
the witnesses for that purpose. He should
have that letter produced, so that the court
may see for themselves that there is nothing
im_proper in it.
The court requested Mr. &bade to hand the
letter to the Judge Advocate.
Mr. Sande replied he would. ;
Mr. Baker said that he had only heard there
had been sharp wds. He had requested the
Judge Advocate to bring gilt tilae faCtS,
Milicellaneons.
knew nothing More of the' matter then witaB
had jusi been stated;
The andge Advocate' said they had often
heard of the bribing of sentries. Money was a
very ready means for that purpose. Counsel
must not t....oume thin & oftbat-kind when the
prison Mlle& informs him that such practices
are againk the rules.
Mr. Schade - replied he had not given the pri
soner more than Ave doliarS - at any time, and
this:WAS done on -the pr;bonp,rs asErwring him
that there was] a necessity for his procuring
- better food.
Colonel Chipman. He gets all he desires.
Mr. Schade. Belays he does - tint;
The court to Juage Chipman. We wish you
Would inquire, into , lbat, and see whether the
prisoner is suffering from any d'Apsiviitilon.
Mr. Baker. I am satislied.the' Captain , fares

stances, with the exception of such little - deli.
CaCies as a man in his feeble condition re,
quires. ' I hope nothingimore of thhlrind ,
come up;
Mr. Schade. The prisoner says hey °illy got
two cups of milk and two eggs.
The court. Mr. Schade, you must get the
letter.
Father Hamilton, called Tor the defetide,tes.
titled that, while he was engaged in his ministe
rial duties at Andersonville, Captain Win
was doing everything in his power to promote
physical phyal and spiritual comfort of the prim
Boners.
Father Wheelan testified to tile same effect ;-
lid saw. Captain Wirz commit no personal vio
lence, although he had made use of prtifane
language ; men were hunted by the' dogs; but
he never heard that any one was torn b 1 the
bounds • Captain Wirz gave him permission to •
distribute euppliea. among the prisoners ; •
while he was there lie never heard of Captain. '
W ira killing or striking a man with his pistol;
or kicking a man so that he died or was laid up.
Cross-examined by Colonel Cliipman.—fie •
did not say-that Captain Wirz did not do such
things; but that if be did it was probable he
should have heard of the facts ; he heard from
the prisoners that Captain Wirz was violent
and harsh,-
Direct examination resumed.—Several other
Clergymen werealso at the prison.
By the court:The witness Said he fought
some flour in January . ; it was for the benefit
. of all the prisoners, without distinction of sect
or creed ; he had ifrequently heardrisoners
complain that they did not get enough to eat ;
lie did not know whether spoiled meat was
,furnished or not, as he was too much engaged
.in looking-after souls; he could not say posi
tively to how many persons he had admin
istered spiritual relief; perhaps fifteen hun
dred ortwo thousand ; perhaps not no much.
Mr. Baker said lie understood these two wit
'senses had made exertions to visit Captain
'Wirz - as his spiritual , advisers, but they could
not obtain permission to do so until after they
had testified as witnesses. He desired that
they be furnished with certificates that they
had testified.
The'eturrt said they had nothing to do with
that. It was for tthe - officer of the prison, un
der arrangement;witbs the Secretary of War;
therefore; the application of counsel was su
perflubuS.
Mr: Baker.- The Secretary of War said he
would give the permission.
The Court. That iS for the Secretary, and
not for the Court..
COlonel Fannin, of the let Regiment Georgia
Reserfes, wider orders from Brigadier General
Cobb, went to Andersouville on the 9th of May,
1864, and' remained there until the middle of
September.' At first the guard did not number
more than - two or three hundred, but it was in
creased as the number of prisoners increased,
until there were from -twelve to fifteen hun
dred men ; their arms were r in great part, flint
and steel locks ; CaptainWirz-coold not punish •
or reward the guards fore anything they had
done ; could grant furloughs only when he
might be temporarily acting an commandant
of the post. The witness never heard, while
in command, of a furlough• given to a guard
fur shooting a Union prisoner.
Question - by Mr. Porkers Did Captain Wirz
ever apply- to you to have a , furlough given to
any guard for nhooting a Unicitt.prisoner I
The Court sustained the. objection as raised
by the Judge Advocate.
Q. Did ever a guard apply: to-yon for a fur
lough on the ground of shooting a Union pri.
goner 1 A, Ido not know of- such application
Upon that ground.
The witness said that Turner, the owner of
the dogs which had been to during
this trial, belonged to his regiment; this man
in July was commanded -by General Win
der to report to him, which he did, and
General Winder ordered him. to procure a
; pack of.dogs ; these dogs were employed to
hunt Confederate as well. as Union de
serters • the sentences of Confederate courts
martial' for offences were digging up the
swamps and the ball and chains ; if Captain
Wirz"has Melted, shot and , maltreated priso
ners,. it is probable that he should' have heard'
of it ; he frequently made requisitions on the
quartermaster for tools, but was unable to ob
tain them ; there was a gooddeal of grumbling
among the troops about the rations, and de
sertions occurred from that 'cause; Captain
Wirz was sick last summer -near Anderson
ville, and was absent from •the , post. some
weeks; this was in August; the witness fre
quently heard whipping in the stockade at
night frail the Pound of the lick, screams and
fighting going on ; this was -at the time the
raiders, so much disturbed theeamp ; six of
the latter were hanged ; Captain. Wirz. having
previously turned them over to a jury of the
Union prisoners.
The Commission then adjourned:

an
than one hundred and fifty magis
trates took place recently, in Cork, to con
sider the security of the public peace as me
naced by Fenianmovements. The proceedings
Were private, but the Cork Examiner says they
resulted in the unaniniouS adoption of a me
morial to the Government, praying for an im
mediate increase in the police and military
force of the county. The existence of secret
organizations, dangerous to the public peace,
was generally admitted, yet It was suppbsed
the adoption of the proposed steps would be
sufficient to maintain public order. On Friday
evening, September 15th, in Dublin , a large
force of ' police proceeded from the castle
to Parliament street, where they divided into

man organ, but were refused admission. The
police then broke• open the door and took pos
session of the premises, and arrested twelve
or fourteen persona, said not tobe compositors,
and conveyed them to the castle. The pollee
then retained possession Of the premises.
There is no information as to the cause of the
seizure, but there are'rumors of concealed
_arms, and documents with the names of the
leaders, but the reports are pot generally
credited, and the Government was supposed
to be acting on_information. The police kept

pOrtione of the State there is great disturb.
anetrand apprehermitm - frden lawless persons,
who are 'thieving, maremling and commit
ting. acts violence remote from the mili

and' - whereas, Brigadier. General Ames corn
mantling the northwestern portion of the Stat e,
has suggested the organization of a militia
police force in each dhrirri.et of his command,
to act'in &Wert with his * ,forces in preserv
lug order and peace inthecommunity, - and
whereat, it is supposed that the other military
commanders 'will have nabbjeetions to theuid
and assistance on the part of the citizens in
suppressing crime and malistsiningorder • and
V J
whereas,
so, it appears that President oint.
SOD bite sanctunneu and autkoriz&l the Provi.
sional Gervernor of Mississippi to organize
a similar force hi that Statc4and has forbidden
the military authorities there to interfere
with such orgaanization. Nbw, therefore I,
Benjamin loranhlin Perry, Provisional Go.
vernor of the State of South Carolina, do
proclaim, order, and declare; that there shall
be formed and orgurnized in each judicial dis
trict one or Mote ra ilitia companies for a home
police, to ace under and be a...vinery to the
military genie= of such district in prevent
ing crimes and pria serving the peace of the
district. 'rho• tomranies will consist of a
captain and three lieutenants and eighty
men, scattered' over the district so as to be
easily aecessibletrom allpoints"where any dis
turbance may Maur. When the companies
are formed, they will report, through their
captains, to the reopen, Give brigadier generals
commanding in South Carolina, and to the
provost marshals at t heir respective court.

When arrests have beep mane, they will turn
the offenders overt', tie civil authorities or
bring them before* the p rovost court-martial,
for trial and punishmea it, according to the
terms of agreement betty -sin Generals Meade
and Gilmore and myself. to the respective
jurisdiction of the civil m id military authori

The police guard will bit voluntary in' its or
ganization, and should 1Y e composed of none
but discreet personsof stall cling and character
in the community, whom ..e willing to render
the services promptiywls In the occasion re

have a most salutary in 'nee in preserving
peace and order, and• p ireventing crime.
The evil-doers will know brat t there is a power,
ready at hand,. to arrest thee a and bring them
to justice. It is to be-hoped! : that all good citi

.
In EOLIIIIIIIA J Sept. 22.—The discussions of last
night on the 'proposition to strike out the
word "white" In the fifth artiete of the y. 2 5-
posed constitution in regard to the basis of
representation was terminated early today
by a motion made by Chancellor Inglis to lay
the amendment to strike out on the table;:
which was carried by a largemajority. So the ,
section and article remains ae repOrted by the.
committee, making the white population the
basis of representation. Some slight motes=

new apportionment the city of Charleston is
entitled to two senators.
THE NAILS.
A Northern mail was received by the land
route in Charleston in seven days from New
York, Boston and Cincinnati.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
There was again a very active demand for
the speculative stocks yesterday, the " bullse
being decidedly in the ascendant, Melee Was
very little doing in Government bonds, but
prices were still very firm. The 10-108 were %
better, notwithstanding the announcement
that the Secretary of the Treasury is about to
put twenty-seven millions of this loan On the
market. The act of Congress authorizing the
10-401 loan fixed the limit at two hundred mil
lions, but the loan was not all disposed of, and,
if we believe the Washington correspondents,
that part of it still undisposed of will be on
the market in a few days. The 188113 sohl. at
107 X, at which:they are now firmly held. Seve.•
ral lots of new.s-203 sold at 105. The London
quotation for the old 5.205 to the 15th Septem
ber is 681 sterling Money, equal, with gold at
143% sp cent, to 108% el cent. here. As the-.
Quebec steamer left Queenstown, the Persia,
from New York September 6, had arrived
out, but her news, which included the pub
lic debt siateMent of September 1, and ti flat
contradiction of the rumors of a new loan,
had not been acted upon in London. The
7-30 currency. bonds are not so . firm. as the
gold-bearing, and a few sales were made at a
fraction olf.. State loans are Very dull, and,
unchanged as to price. City es are steady. In,
the railway list the chief movement is in Read-'
ing, of which.nearly 4,000 shares changed hands
before the close of the second board, opening
at 55% and closing at esel. Philadelphia-and
Erie advanced IA ; North Pennsylvania 2 ; Cate
wissa common %, and the preferred stock 1
Pennsylvania Railroad sold at 60 1 Ae which is a
decline of eel Northern Gellerl ‘ - ',e,tie%; Little
Schuylkill at 80s,e, and Minehill at Ottee, Pas
senger Railroad stooks ; continued in high
favor, especially llestonVille, which again ad
vanced %. The recent heavy earnings of the,
road are telling favorably upon the, illeeltet
value of the shares. Chestnut and Walnut was
firm at 58 ;_Fifth and Sixth at 40; Thirteenth
and Fifteenth at 23%, and Spruce and Pine at
25. The only sale of bank stuck wee. Corn. Ex-
change, at 61. 180 was , bid for North America ;
118 1 4 for Farmers and Mechanics'; 47 1 4 for Penn
Township; We for Manufacturers'; 38 for

There was considerable , activity in the coal, •
stocks, with further sales of Big Meuntain at.
4 Fulton at 5%, Swatara Fails at 2%,, and New.
creek at 1%. 011 Meeks were moving at a
moderate pace, ane,priees rather better. The
money market es, still working emeothly. A
large class of lenders are placing: their I
balances in compound legal-tender. notes of
the United States, in the belief that they will
be funded into gold-bearing stocks in , the
course of the next few menthe. These notes,
with from tep to,sixteen,montbiseaccumulatea
interest, at the rate of 0 eecent. a year, can be•
bougbe 10061016102 Vh cent., dating front
June to December, 1864.. Their present value,
counting accumulated, interest, is 108ele6610il

.1304 dates, and a strong disposition t0)031111 on
to the 1805 &dee for.ageulnUlatiOn.

1,408,461,000,00 0 bushels, or 58,616,430,000 tons of
coal, which at two dealers per ton, or a little
,over seven cents per bushel, would be worth
$107,0$ 2 " 000 , a, anise Well to tbe payment of

The value •of both the imposrt and exports
the past year fall far short of that of the pre
vious year. Thla is owing in chleftotbe gene
ral decline in prices. That thbre bas been a,
large increase in the value of commerce the
last ten years, is seen by radiating- the value
the past year to'a gold basis, - and It' with be
found that it vastly exceeds wht,:tth'e value of
the imports was before the war, WM/flaking
the highest figures, Which were the/le of 1859430.
.2tow, the average premium on gold •fOr the
past year was a fraction oyez 8y per . centl, awl
by making the proper deduction% as ahown
by this premium, fronothe aggregate value of
the imports as given - above, it redlines it to
ei5i,451,015, which is W 18,105,689 more than the
value of the Imports in ie*-1X), the largest of
any year before the war.
