ssion movement at the South is beginning to work its results at the North. In Wall street it was felt severely yesterday. Stocks fell from ¼ to 2 ¼ per cent., as may be seen be reference to our money article. And this, we fear, is not the end, but only little more than the beginning of the depreciation and decline of all securities.

f the Northern States is six or seven per cent. The usury laws, if they have any effect, are a prejudice to the borrower. Some of the State Legislatures, at their next session, will, it is supposed, revise their legislation on this subject. The first of October is at hand, when the Banks that have the option of the Government loan to the extent of a hundred millions more, will, according to their agreement with the Treasury, either take or decline the fifty millions wanting on the 10th of October. The probability is that the individual subscriptions will be so large as to encourage the Banks to sustain the Government until Congress shall meet. A number of rich corporations also intend to take portions of the loan, and a part may also be taken on foreign account. The Government is sending large sums in demand Treasury notes to the West for the supply and movement of bodies of troops.--The chief theatre of action soon is likely to be in the West, on the Mississippi and on the

The Identity of the black horse Troop. To the Editors of the Dispatch: --In your paper of the 10th of October, you pay a very handsome compliment to the "Black-Horse Cavalry, of Fauquier," and their brilliant charge under the "Ashbys," from which it would be inferred that this troop was officered by the gallant Captain Ashby. This is not the first time that a similar mistake has been committed, and as a fact is worth full as much as an error. I ask you to make the proper correction. There is now and never has been but one troops of cavalry known as the "Black Horse." This troop is not now and never was commanded by Captain Ashby; or any gentleman of his name. It was in the battle of Manassas, and Captain Ashby's troop, "The Mountain Rangers," I believe, was not. It was led in that battle by Captain William H. Payne, of Fauquier, who had been its commander from the beginning of the war until his promotion to the rank of Major, a few weeks ago, in the Fourth Cavalry, an
