We understand that he is deteri mined to ifieue morel Treasur y —notes at . Present, and not to extend the limit for do: poses at the Sub• Treasuries. His certifi, ,cates of indebtedness, having one year to run, are now selling et par; and, as he is authorized to issue any amount of these, be may consider the financial problem of the War coMplitely solved. The working o the money market. is likewise going to as shit him in another way. Many people Here _that the five year bonds, of which Mr. Clue is euthorixed, to isms $500,000,000. and into which .the legal. tender currency is eenvertible, in reality, prove ten, fifteen or twenty year bondit, as they are only 'redeereable,:‘..at the pleasure of the \ government; after five years," and itseems unlikely that the government will be. able ' in 1867, to par off so large a debt as sdoo,- _OOO,OOO. Hence the advance of the other sixes to a premium is leading many indi viduals to think about converting them into these - fit', year bonds. Mr. Cisco bad 513 - end inquiries on the _aubjeat - to-day.' By way of completing the. triumphs of Mr. Chase's financial policy, the advance in 7.80 notes is enabling him to provide, the gold for the payment of this intereston the jotablio debt without . paying-a; premium. .145 t week, Mr. Cisco exchanged $2,100,000 of 7.80 notes. for gold at par.

The businesi slime the beginning of the year, indicates that the estimates of Secretary - Chase rele . tive to the revenue from duties on foreign gbeds were lees the actu al - receipts.

What a contrast does the South present —and even what a contrast does England present. The reflex effects of the War upon her prosperity have been ten-fold greater than the actual war upon us at home. The accounts in the London papers of the mis eries and destitution, on account of the cotton famine, are of the most'appalling character. The cotton dearth cannot last much longer, and for the sake of the suffer ing operatives we are glad of it: The share of prize money which accrues to the Navy Department from the prizes taken during the war, amounts — already to a very great sum, sufficient to cover a large part of the outlay of the department in pur chasing vessels for the blockading fleet. Our ships have been very fortunate of late in making captures;_ and as the ves sels attempting to run the blockade are gen erally laden with extremely valuable car goes, every prize adds largely to the fund. Of course, our seamen and officers must be making very handiome profits. Many of the seamen and ordinary seamen make several hundred dollars each, by a cruise of a few weeks or months. EVACUATION OF YORKTOWN PARTICULARS. OF TUE ETCUATION Pursuit of the Enemy OUR GUNBOATS AT WEST POINT Foams Moo* May 5, 18G2 Old Point is in eostacies this morning over the news from Yorktown, and rumors are Hy ing fast and thick in relation to the evacua tion of and subsequent pursuit of the flying rebels by Gen. MoClellan.„ gentleman direct from Yorktown in forms me that at fire o'clock last evening a large portion of Gen. McGlellan's army' had advanced and-were closely following up the enemy. In Yorktown a number of dead bo dies were found, including several officers, whOwere killed during the cannonading on Saturday night and Sunday morning, a brisk firs being keptup the whole night. The reb els kept their guns manned throughout the night, and the rear guard abandoned them at daylight on Sunday, when our columns ad vanced and took possession, the cavalry and artillery following. rapidly after thh - m. From the cannonading throughout the afternoon and evening, there is no doubt thattliets was some serious fighting with their rear guard. I=l As to the motive for the action, the prison era taken represent it to have been a nem , city en the part of their generals from which they could not escape. The news from New Orleans and the evacuation of Corinth by Beauregard, together with the scarcity of provisions, bad created so much dissatis faction that many of the rebel regiments were almost in open revolt. The didiffictilty of transportation and the scarcity of beef, espe cially if the gunboat. should advance above Yorktown, gave promiseof actual starvation, and inch well the state of demoralization that a oollision could only have resulted in total destruction. Among the priaonofS is the Chief of Engineers ob Oen. Johnston's staff, who states that the whole - febel army at York town amounted to 85,000 men. lie gives a most deplorable account of the condition of the army, and says that tboy will be unable to make a stand anywhere this side of Rich mond. The retreat commenced before daylight on Saturday morning, and-lie doubts not that the advance was "twenty miles distant at the time the last gun was fired from Yorktown. - On Sunday morning Gen. McClellan sig nalled the five gunboats lying below York town the fact of the evacuation, with laetrile tions. to proceed on up the river to West Point, and remove all obstruction) in their way. Quite a fleet of steamers and vessels loaded with troops were disbovered in the dis tance, and a pursuit commenced, resulting in the capture of some of them, whilst others were run ashore and fired by those on board, who escaped to the woods. It le said that by three o'clock in the afternoon, the gunboats bad reached West Point, at the bead of naviga tion, nearly thirty miles above Yorktown, frequently shelling parties of this enemy disc covered flying along the shore, and flanking that portion of the retreating army that were acing towards West Point to take the rail , oad for Richmond. Immediately in the wake of Cie gunboats followed a long line of river steamers, loaded ',with troops, carrying Gen. Franklin's Divis ion, with from fifteen to twenty thousand men. Among-these boats was the.Louislana, the Columbus, the Wilson Small, Georgiaand a host of Baltimore boats, which bad been lay ing in Cheeseman's Creek waiting the orders of Gen. McClellan. These troops reached Yorktown during the afternoon, and were stopped there to wait intelligence from the gunboats. They had not left at one o'clock to-day. It is proposed to land them at West Point, if the report of the gunboats is . favor. able to such a movement. The pursuitis described as most rapid, and the demolition complete. The artillery and Cavalry leading the way;followed by the in fantry, who entered into the c&so with great —Among the arms left at Yorktown were large numbers of pikes; somewhat similar to those Manufactured in Baltimore to arm the rabble with by order of our city authorities. They were intended for the undrilled militia for whom no arms could be procured. ON. x'cLitaaiefi AnvANce It is said that the advance of Gen. lloClel lan's army is this morning beyond Williams burg, and that they found the roads strewn with arms and equipments, and the bridges broken down to prevent their rapid pursuit. Some of the'prisoners taken emus voluntarily into, camp, and most of them, seemed glad to escape from the . military tyranny which has so long held them in check.'' If General- McClellan has succeeded in reaching West Point with the gunboats, as reported, be ill be enabled to move on rap idly towards ,i n ichniond. The railroad , from West Point to chmond is about thirty Miles long, and th rapidity-with which be has moved, and the derneralimut. condition 'of the rebels, willdoubtless prevent any serious dam age being done to it. This is doubtless the point to which the fleet of vessels - so long point Canton, loaded with cars awl lo comotives, is destined, and you may look for their immediate departure for Richmond, iia York river: There are' four locomotives and about sixtj ears here,- which, with Such as may have beeneaptured, willfprzu quite-a-ae strecrobultehrolling. stock for this now - route to ER STATE.

GksrLemnx : The- mar in America has produced an unfortunate crisis in the cot ton manufactures of all countries. The town of Ghent has, in particular suffered much from that crisis, and it is urgent to assist the numerous and brave workmen by demanding of public charity resources which the deficiency of work has completely dried up. I have thought that the army would be disposed to lend its assistance to any measure that would tend to alleviate those sufferings; and, in order to enable each to bring hie offering to the valiant army of labor, I have decided that in each garrison possessing a band of music ar rangements shall be made for organizing a concert, the product of which shall be ap plied to the assistance of the working pop ulation of Ghent.
