It is in vain to in the thousand, it could be done in the three years with It is also worthy of point to our unexplored mines, our railroads, our unoccupied lands; these we have still: nor to our busy manufactories, our rich farms, our commercial cities ; these abound among us in greater profusion than before the war. We have not destroyed these forms of our stored-up internal wealth. Ev¬ ery thing in our industrial and commercial position proves that whatever else we have spent on our army and navy" we have not diminished our capital. That is greater now than when we entered on the struggle. Much as we have paid Our National income has evi¬ out, we have made more. dently far exceeded our National expenses, We are like a rich farmer who has had a costly lawsuit, or a disastrous fire; but finds at the year’s end that his income has been greater than his losses and that his available capital has increased in spite of his misfortunes. be the dates of such notes. This statement, taken in remark, that the receipts of the Trea¬ sury during the last year of the war were raised without any increase or inflation of the currency. When Mr. Chase resigned in June, 1804, the efficient paper money of the coun¬ try was greater than it is now. We have positively con tracted our active currency and we have still contrived to raise among ourselves, without a foreign loan, and without crippling our domestic industry, all the funds we required for the protection of the National credit and for the vindi¬ one ease. u ever help. complete and so pervading is the power wielded by the Treasury over the financial system of the country that every new order, with its probable effects and indications of future policy, is earnestly canvassed among our business men; and it is claimed by some persons that this policy of calling in and cancelling the compound legal tenders offers at first sight some promise of advantage. This opinion cannot be gain¬ said. There is, for instance, a saving of accrued interest by the Government if the notes are received at par; and al¬ ready more than one million of dollars are reported to have been economised in this way. Secondlv, the next monthly of ft | ; nection with several passages can So of the debt will thus be made to show a diminution aggregate of the Government currency : and this, in the present temper of the public mind, may contribute in some degree to pacify the desire and quiet the clamor for contraction. Lastly", this contraction, if confined to the compound interest notes, loan market; would produce but little derangement of the for, although they" are legal tenders, still being interest-bearing also, they are held for investment. Conse¬ quently their movements slow, and their re¬ circulation produces less as money are moval from the channels of this disturbance in the loan market than would abstraction of a much smaller ordinary legal tenders. These reasons are weighty and well worthy" of consideration. The time will come when, without deviating from the most conservative policy, the compound notes can be gradually withdrawn and cancelled with safety for ever. But it is easy to see that such an attempt, in the present state of the Treasury, is premature ; and that an ill-advised contraction now will lead only to further expansion here* .

The government currency, therefore, consists only of greenbacks and compound notes; the latter forming less than one-third, and the former two-thirds of the whole mass. Now, the point we insist upon is that the compound notes do not derange the currency much, and subserve better the policy of contraction than any other legal tenders that have ever been issued. This is a matter of great practical importance, for it shows that these compound notes can with advantage take the place of the greenbacks as a first step towards the ultimate funding of the whole mass of that species of Govern¬ paper To limit the operations of every war, as far as may be, to of the resources of the powers or parties actual¬ ly and formally waging the war, is a matter of greater impor¬ the exact scope tance the now than enormous before, to every civilized nation. increase of commerce in modern ever With times, almost State in Christendom is now liable to be compromised by the base and reckless among its subjects in any hostilities which may arise between important naval powers ; and the duties of neutrals,” of which our demands upon England were designed to bring about a better and more positive de¬ finition, are duties now not to the belligerent powers of this or that war alone, but to the whole family of nations.

This conversion should be its duty as a neutral.” This is a very accurate statement of slow and will easily be accomplished by making the substi¬ the position taken up by Earl Russell in his correspondence tution as the notes are paid into the National Treasury. with Mr. Adams, and it is a little surprising, we think, that Thircllv, the older notes should be made fundable into bonds Mr. Adams, instead of contenting himself as President John¬ at par and interest, the bonds being offered on such terms as son very wisely does, with protesting against this position as will meet the exigencies of the market.

On all river steamers,coal should be used on the downward trip. The greatest danger is in calm weather, or with a light, following wind. With much wind the sparks are mostly tarried so far as to fall in the water, and at such times there is more danger from other boats, unlese they pass to the leeward. A good watch sparks should at all times be kept. 2d, Lard, lard oil, bacon, and other oily matters should not be stowed for in contact with cotton. 3d* All passengers will smoke ; the only remedy is in watchfulnc s, and the use of tarpaulins to cover the cotton ou the guards.

Cotton which has lain under Orleans, and other the eaves of sheds, favorable condition been exposed for a long time to hard rain, is in a ignite spontaneously. 2d. A strict regulation, prohibiting smoking in every form, should be enforced at each press, and conspicuous notices to this effect should be exhibited. This should particularly extend to the draymen who take the cotton from the press to the ship. 3d. At some presses much care has been judiciously bestowed in providing hydrants and bos?, to use in case of tire. There should be no exceptions. Experience, has s mwn that a full supply of common bu kits, always filled and conspicuously placed, would prove of very gre^t value, for even the time necessary to attach a hose and open a water-plug will allow a fire to get such headway as to be controlled with difficulty, whilst if a man could catch up a bucket and apply the water at once, some fires could be extinguished before any great dam¬ or to danger from the sparks from the chimneys of the and observation has shown that it is greatest in the early morn¬ ing, when the fires are about being started, as wood and other light ma¬ terials are used .for that purpose.

It had an immense sale, and commended itself to favor by its extraordinary brevity, its accuracy, and the great variety of information which it contained. It seemed to omit nothing that was indispensable. The compiler, Mr. Parke Godwin, now of the Evening Post, was ad¬ mirably qualified by his extensive knowledge of men and facts, his habits of accuracy, his great discretion and thoroughness! to pre¬ pare such a manual; and the enterprise, as was to have been ex¬ pected, proved a success.

The most populous states in the Union have the smallest farms, com¬ manding the highest price per acre ; and the value per acre is, as a general fact, inversely proportionate to the size of the farms.

The Money Market.—There has been ment in the course of monetary affairs change of mo¬ during the week. The withdrawal of a large amount of legal tenders into the Sub-Treasury, through the sales of gold, has had no apprecia¬ ble effect upon the supply. Brokers have been able to gef all they required at 7 per cent on call, and the discount mar¬ ket has been well supplied. The receipts of currency from outside are merely nominal, exchange on Cincinnati & Chicago being at par. At New Orleans, exchange on this city is at a discount; and the balance between New York and Boston is still against us. So that no dependence can be placed upon outside supplies of money. The openings of the port trade is likely to produce an early increase of bills at the West, and a remittance in that direction may occur at any no time. To-day the Sub-Treasury commenced the and Miscellaneous Stock.—There has been new Stock new opening of the Exchange building, and the holding of several daily sessions by the old board, has also tended to foster ac¬ tivity of business. The week opened with a brisk bear move¬ ment, supported by strong parties; an attack was made up¬ on some of the leading shares, with temporary success; but the large current purchases to cover outstanding “ short ” contracts checked the downward tendency, and prices close to-day generally higher than a week ago. The annua]/report of the New York Central road, presented at a meeting of stockholders this week, had the effect of depressing the price of the stock, the exhibit being less favorable than was antici¬ pated, and the market generally sympathized. It has since being explained, with what truth we know not, that the re¬ port was made up with a glowing aspect to influence future legislation at Albany. To-day, Ohio and Mississippi Certificates have taken an upward leap of 1^, on the strength of the annual report pre¬ sented at the meeting of the Company held on Wednesday. The earnings of the road show an increase of $448,062 over those of 1864, with a decrease in the expenses of $149,096; making the net earnings $597,159 larger than those of last . The report estimates that the business for the year ending December 31, 1865, will show a balance of earnings over expenditures amounting to $1,016,622. Cleveland and Pittsburg has been sold heavily, as is supposed, by parties year. who had bought up largely to control the election of directors, price, however, has been well sustained. Large purchases have been made of Cleveland & Toledo, upon the understanding that a new feeder will be early added to the road, materially increasing its traffic. The price has advanced 7£ during the week. Beneath the present buoyant tone of the market, there is a feeling of mistrust in the continuance of the current large earnings of the roads. The present inactivity of the older houses is very much attributable to an apprehension that the competition of the Mississippi route will largely reduce both the rates and the freights of the principal roads ; and hence they are willing to unload into other hands.

The interest which centres in the Provision market is now The speculative demand has been very active,—favored at the middle of the week, by a material failing off in the receipts of hogs at this and the western markets; but it is found difficult to infuse confidence into the market—and prices have on the whole been without important advance. All accounts from the West that the packing season is very much behind former years ; but, as the English orders for Bacon are very cautiously executed, at moderate prices, no apprehension of a short supply is felt. It seem6 to be expected that the packing will be active when it is once commenced, and that the hogs will make up in weight what they lack in number. Lard having declined moves off rapidly. Hogs are now arriving more freely at all points with favorable weather for packing. Beef, Butter and Cheese are inactive, aud prices irregular. Groceries of all kinds have been very dull; coffees and sugars have declined, and in other particulars the tendency downward. To-day, however, there was renewal of demand in coffee and rice.

Other metals show no important change. Naval stores have had a downward tendency, especially tar, of 'rthich the supply has materially increased. Oils are quiet and un¬ changed. Hides have experienced a slight relapse in gold prices. Leather quiet and unchanged. Fruits and fish tending downward. Petro¬ fair export business. Several thousand barrels are being loaded at Philadelphia for European markets. There is an improved demand for wool at the decline which has been acceded to during the past month. Prices are now relatively very low, and manufacturers seem disposed to purchase somewhat beyond their immediate wants. There is no advance to notice—in fact, some yielding in coarse wools is reported, but only from a pre- vions nominal quotations.

On the contrary, to depress prices, we have had continued heavy receipts at this market, as well as at the Southern ports, scarcity of freight room to Europe, and, most potent of all, the ad¬ vance in the rate of assurance to five per cent. The severe losses by fire in our cotton warehouses have compelled an advance of premium in self-protection. Probably, the improved prospects of the next planting season (American energy and tact overcoming the formidable difficulties that were presenting the»selves) were not without a depressing influence.

Wheat has improved within the past two days from seven to bushel. The greater improvement is in the low grades of spring, which have been most depressed. They are taken for export to Great Britain. In the finer grades of Red the advance is nearly nominal, as there is only a limited milling demand for them, and choice Springs do not briDg their relative value. A decline in freight has favored the export movement. The deliveries at this market are now suspended for the season. They may be resumed to a limited extent by rail and the southern steamers. The wheat market may be said to be in some danger from the ex¬ cess of flour, and sales at such low prices as will compel our local millers to stop grinding. Some of them*have already done so, in which case, the present considerable stock—say about four mil¬ lion bushels—could only find a maiket through exportation. Corn has moved freely for export, and with a decline in freights prices have advanced one cent. The receipts of Western corn have now ceased, and but very small quantities of corn grown on the Atlantic coast is reaching the market. The stock, however, is large. Oats have improved.
