The liberality is explained in the following paragraph from the News: A great parade, in the papers, is being made by some of our banks about the money advanced by them for war purposes, and large claims to patriotism and generosity appear to be founded upon such subscriptions. Such a bank has given so many thousands, and such a one so much, say the war papers. The fact is the banks are only investing in stocks of the State of New York. A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky., May 11, gives the following proceedings of the Kentucky Legislature: Mr. Machen, from the House Committee on Military Affairs, yesterday reported in the Kentucky Legislature a bill appropriating something near six millions of dollars for military purposes, and the organization of a standing army of 10,000 men, with proper portions of artillery and cavalry, and a reserve force of 50,000 Mr. Under wood offered a resolution that the bill be rec

Certain persons, though representing themselves Union men, have been denied the privilege of forwarding locomotives to Tennessee, for the reason, among others, that such necessary railroad machinery might be used in the transportation of hostile troops. The Government also takes care thats never more so at this season of the year. Certain we are, from the most reliable information, that there is food enough and to spare in Memphis, and in all West Tennessee. How it will be with the upper States in regard to the sugar, molasses, rice, cotton, and Money of the South, our readers must judge.--Our own opinion is, th

He is in favor of this as a matter of instant action, by the assumption of some responsibility if need be, instead of waiting till the Virginians have entrenched themselves so as to render their dislodgment difficult. The prosecution of the Commodore's views depends very much on whether he can obtain the co-operation of Col. Dimmick at Fortress Monroe. The Baltimore Sun furnishes some additional information about the capture of the steam gun: The steam gun captured on Friday has been stationed in the camp of the Sixth (Mass) Regiment, and on Saturday it was understood an exhibition of its powers would be given; but a very unfortunate circumstance interfered with the arrangement.

The same paper says: The steamer H. D. Mears arrived yesterday afternoon from Vicksburg, having on board tour military companies from Arkansas, as follows: Etonia Guards, Capt.

A Harper's Ferry letter to the BaHarper's Ferry letter to the Baltimore American says: A double force of workmen were employed at the several workshops, busily and constantly in the manufacture of arms, cartridges, &c.

We trust that all the Southwestern States will concur in the propriety of perpetuating the policy of river blockade, which has been inaugurated just at the right time for us.--The States above us cannot reasonably complain that the navigation of the Mississippi river is not free to them, when they have been the first to interrupt it; and they must expect that the example they have set us will be followed by the South renewing the blockade as soon as it shall be suspended by them.
