Financial --At the first board in New York last Friday, a still further advance took place in State stocks, some of them quite heavy--North Carolina 6's went up from 68½ the day previous to 62, an advance of 5½ per cent; Virginia 6's advanced 1½ per cent; Missouri 6's ¾, closing 41Ê; Tennessee 6's ¾, at 43½. The New York Times of Friday, says: "The additional subscriptions to the National loan in 7.30 per cent three-year Treasury bonds at the Sub-Treasury yesterday, were one hundred and fifty in number, the amount ranging from $50 to $10,000 each. The aggregate sum paid in on these subscriptions is $279,950. "There is a very quiet money market this week, and the improvement in rates, which was father looked for after the recent government negotiation, has not yet been fairly established, as the per cent, on call loan, and 6a7 per cent, on prime discounts, are the current terms still quoted at bank and on the street. The foreign exchanges are steady; 107½a107½
h of intelligence received by way of Cincinnati, accepts as highly probable the report already given of the surprise and defeat of the Federal forces under Col. Tyler in the Kanawha valley. The Times fears that important district of Western Virginia will shortly revert to the Confederates. "Salt," says the Times, "is selling in Richmond and Petersburg at $6 a sack. The Confederates must have this necessary article, and it seems that they know where and how to get what they want — lead in Missouri and salt in the Kanawha." The Times regards the destruction of Tyler's command as possibly but the beginning of an onset that shall sweep every vestige of the Union army from that part of Virginia. Cincinnati, Aug. 25.--We learn from the Kanawha valley that Col. Tyler's forces at Summersville, Va., were surrounded and badly defeated by the Confederates, under Floyd, early yesterday morning. No particulars have yet been received. Interesting letter from Connecticut. The follow
of the Union people had not yet been confiscated or molested up to the time my informant left. Vague rumors have circulated here to-day to the effect that the enemy were about to make a demonstration at Edwards' or Nolan's Ferry. From Missouri. Rolla, Mo., (via Franklin, Mo,) Aug. 27 --Letters received from Col. Boyd, by his wife, say that the report prevailed in Springfield that an attack had been made on Montgomery's force at Fort Scott, and that he successfully repulsed theine of not less than $100. Prudential committees are being formed throughout the State to squelch secession. Boston Aug. 28.--The resigned officers of the frigate Congress, (Robert Tansill, of Virginia, Captain of Marines; Thomas Wilson, of Missouri, Second Lieut.; Henry B. Claiborne and H. B. Cenas, Midshipmen, both of New Orleans,) have been sent under a guard to Fort Lafayette. Cincinnati,Aug. 29.--The remains of Gen.Lyon arrived here this morning, and was escorted by the military t
on every point connected with it, and stated what his plan would be for bringing it to a close it the management of it had been left in his hands," &c.] Can the Government meet a reaction?--General McClellan at work. It remains to be seen if the plans of General Scott can now be followed. The reaction along the Mississippi will be great, and Major General Fremont, with great respect for his courage and enterprise, is not the man, I fear, to conduct large columns successfully. Missouri is anything but safe. Cairo is menaced, and my friends at Memphis seem to be stirring from their rest under their General. I regret that I cannot give any more interesting or important intelligence, bl I have not been able to go out for the last two days to the camps, as is common with many people in Washington. I was suffering a little from the weather — thunderstorms, rains, bad odors, which produce the usual results in garrisons and ill-drained cities. However, it is some co
to speculate. If we lose Washington, it will be worse to us than a dozen Bull Runs. If we beat the enemy the tide of war will have been turned against them forever. The next few days are big with the late of the Great Republic. From Northern Missouri. Quincy, Ill., Aug. 30 --A body of Secessionists, estimated at 2,500, under Martin Green, took possession of Palmyra, Mo., (eight miles west of the Missouri river and about ten miles from Quincy,) yesterday. There were no Federal troops there and no resistance was made. A train of cars containing a considerable quantity of muskets, for the troops at St. Joseph's was fired into near Palmyra and forced to return. From Southern Missouri. Cairo, Aug. 30 --A flag of truce arrived this afternoon, from New Madrid, at the Federal camp at Bird's Point, Mo., opposite this place. The object was an exchange of prisoners. It is reported that the rebels under Jeff. Thompson and General Harcee are failing back o
From Missouri. Louisville, Aug. 31. --Passengers who have reached here from St. Louis state that it is currently reported that Jefferson City and Booneville are in the hands of the Missourians Fayette, Mo., Aug. 31. --The Cashier of the Bank here sent $100,000, via Springfield, to St. Louis, and it is stated that twenty Secessionists, headed by Captain Poindexter, seized it. Louisville, Aug. 31.--It is understood that Lincoln has written a letter, in which he gives assurances that Gov. Magoffin exhibits a conciliatory spirit and says he will be guided by the action of the Kentucky Legislature.
