rcial bills, without any improvement in rates. There was very little pressure to sell at the opening of the stock market, and, therefore, although prices declined materially, there was not much sensation, and but little panic. The New York Post, of Saturday evening, says: The war news at hand this morning was the signal for a general stampede among the currency brokers of Wall street, Southern money at once undergoing an important depreciation. The notes of the banks of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, are now quoted at a discount of 25 per cent., and rates of all Southern currency are very fluctuating and unreliable. Virginia and N. Carolina notes are selling, in moderate amounts, at 8a10 per cent, Tennessee at 5 and 7 per cent., Missouri at 8a10 per cent. The great distrust of Southern notes affects, in turn, the currency of the West, the basis of the circulation being Southern State stocks. The exchange at Chicago, on New York, we learn by te

A large and fine flag of the Southern Confederacy has taken the place of the South Carolina ensign lately waving near the Vegetable Market. This flag is 16½ feet broad, and 26 feet long, and is the largest which has ever been raised in the Old Dominion.

y both sides up to seven o'clock, the hour at which Fort Sumter ceased firing. He gives as a total 75,000 pounds, or over thirty-six tons of iron. It was currently rumored that the Harriet Lane was crippled by the Star of the West Battery, while trying to run in yesterday morning, but that the Harriet Lane pursued the course of her predecessor, and put back to sea minus one wheel. The Courier contains this significant paragraph: If there are any among us who yet consider South Carolina not in earnest, or in the right, it is full time they seek safety in a more congenial climate. Those who are not for us are against us, and we shall and can take care of ourselves. Further accounts. The following are extracts from dispatches dated Charleston, Friday: The soldiers are perfectly reckless of their lives, and at every shot jump upon the ramparts, and then jump down cheering. A party on the Stevens' Battery are said to have played a game of cards durin

iring addresses were delivered by John C. Hawlett, Jr., and Isaac R. Watkins, both of the speakers acquitting themselves handsomely. After paying a deserving compliment to our patriotic ladies--God bless them — who made and presented the Southern Confederated Flag, they proved how much more it was to the interest of Virginia to be with the South than remain the tail of a Northern Confederacy.--While speaking was going on the telegraph brought us the sad news that our gallant brothers in South Carolina had sustained a loss of 360 men. You could see sorrow pictured on every face you met, and universal regret expressed for the sad fate of its heroes. The flag was then unfurled on a pole 95 feet high, amidst thundering cheers for the Southern Confederacy, the ladies, and old Charlotte; from which you will see that the descendants of John Randolph have not degenerated.--Another flash of lightning on the wires brought us the glorious news that the flag of the Southern Confederacy was flyin

From Charleston. Charleston, April 15. --Major Anderson, on embarking for New York, expressed great regret at the destruction of property in Fort Sumter. The first gun from Fort Sumter was fired by Capt. Doubleday. Maj. Anderson complimented Stevens' Iron Battery, and said his fort fired the best, but that he did not think much of the others' fire. He said he expected aid from South Carolina in putting out the fire in Fort Sumter, adding, "This was nothing more than was usual in civilized warfare." He was likewise surprised that no blood had been shed, which was the best evidence of skillful engineering.

ting to hear of a conflict at Charleston. When it does come, old Botetourt will be represented in the Confederate Army by her sons, who will never permit a foe to walk unmolested over the soil of a sister State. When war begins, the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia will, for a time, cease to echo the report of the hunter's unerring rifle. The deer may feed in repose, for its enemy will be on the track of a less noble animal — the Yankee of New England. To-morrow the ladies of our town propose presenting to the Botetourt Dragoons a beautiful flag — such an one as so noble a band of men deserve. I wish them a bright and happy day. We claim to have one of the best drilled dragoon companies in the State, and believe them every one true as steel and all right for South Carolina, unless it is with one exception, and that one has been dishonored by voting to aid the Federal Government in coercing a seceding State. I'll keep you advised of the progress of secession.

efforts to fire the Northern heart. The first-named paper says: But there is no hesitation. The country responds as one man to the call upon its resources. We have been patient till patience was almost a vice. The Administration has done all, and more than all, that the most scrupulous regard for life demanded of it.--Even the last words of the brave Anderson were calm and temperate, and in accordance with his strictest duty. If there was an atom left of that chivalry of which South Carolina boasts so loudly, even traitors would have respected the bravery of Sumter's garrison, and turned the battle, if battle they must have, to another point. But they glory, in cowardly glee, in their thousands hunting to death the loyal eighty. They have well learned the ignoble lesson in their blood-hound hunts of defenseless slaves. To-day the nation looks to the Government to put down treason forever. It will not grudge the men or the money which are needed. We have enjoyed for
