THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 4,

Mr. Chase having to provide 60,000,000 doll ars
to pay the arrears due to the army and navy, has
Tome into the market as a borrower of 50,000,
dollars. He proposes to raise the money by the
issue of that amount of promises to pay in. sums
of 10 dollars and up wards, bearing inte :est at
five per cent. per annum. The banks of New York
have agreed to take 35,000,000 dollars, and those
of Boston 15,000,000 dollars of the amount.
These promises to pay partake of the double cha-
racter of an Exchequer Bill and of a bank note.
In tae first capacity they bear interest, and in the
second they are declared to be legal tender for ak
debts, pubiie and private. As these issues must of
necessity be followed in quick succession by othe::s of
like or a greater amount, if the army and navy are
to be paid, the contractors settled with, and the war
pushed forward, a feeling of distrust has c .immuni-
cated itsfa to the speculative public. The non-sue-
cees of the operations before Charleston, ',he grow-
ing doubt whether Admiral Dahlgren arsd General
Gitmoro wild not fail as egregiously to capture the

city as Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont did be-
fore them; the calculation, based on. unmistakable
data, that these futile attempts to -wreak vengeance
upon South Carolina have already cost the Federal
Government in round numbers the handsome sum of
500,000,000 dolsewhich any professional accountant,
surveyor, or assessor woald certainly declare to be
300 per cent.ic excess of the value of the fee simple
of all the land in thecae?, and of every house, church,
bank, office, or other building within its bounds, and
all the movable property therein contained; and a
similar calculation that the little treaaure aeqaired
in Vicksburg was not purchased at a smaller cost,
from first to last, than 400,000,000 dots., have con-
tributed each in their degree to excite the fears of
many bankers, brokers, and merchants who see no
way out cf the corner into which the Government is
driven except by further issues of baseless paper,
and who know that such issues inevitably lead to
financial collapse and national bankruptcy. To these
sources of disquiet have to be added, first, the pos-
sibility—and, as many think, the extreme proba-
bility—that General Lee will take advantage of
the depletion of the army of the Potomac, many
thousands of whose veterans are doing unnecessary
duty in the quasi-hostile occupation of the city of
New York, to flank Gen. Meade and march upon.
Washington ; and secondly, the letter of Mr. Lin-
coln to the Springfield Convention, which puts the '
extinguisher upoa all the hopes of peace which have
recently taken possession of the public mind, by
showing that as long as he is President he will listen
to no terms from the South except unconditional
surrender, to be coupled with immediate emancipa-
tion. Nor is this, formidable as the list may be, the
whole catalogue of causes that have came into
simultaneous operation to disturb the money market
and shake the card castle of Mr. Chase's finance.
The European harvest is known to be so abundant
as to make it certain that Great Britain and France
will not this year be very large purchasers of Ame-
rican breadstuffs ; that, consequently, the importa-
tions of dry goods and other articles from Europe
which the necessities or the luxuries of the Ameri-
cans may require will have to be balanced not with
corn and flour, as in other times, but with gold.
How much or how little these several causes of
anxiety or alarm may have affected the sensitive
barometer that marks its fair audits foul in the prices
of stocks and the premium on gold it is not easy for
the most patient student to predicate with accuracy.
Possibly the main motor of the panic that has taken
possession of Wall-street for the last three days was
Mr. Chase's appearance as a borrower. However
that may be, the card castle has had a rough
shaking. Shares in the "fancy" railways—mani-
pulated by the leviathans of speculation—have come
tumbling down, and gold has gone clambering
up, A few men have made large fortunes, for Mr.
Cease does not keep his secrets so effectually as not
to let his relatives, his personal friends, and some
Western politicians and financiers, on whose services
he relies to get a large Western vote for the Presi-
dency, know a few days, or even a few weeks be-
forehand, that he is going to issue fresh greenbacks,
contract a loan, or otherwise operate on the share-
market and the price of gold. But while these
favoured few, and the " ring" or clique that sur-
rounds them, have either kept clear of mischief, or
made money, ruin has seized upon hundreds of the
smaller and less privileged class of speculators, who
have learnt, to their cost, the old but ever recurring
lesson that gambling is no certain road to wealth,
and that industry end the legitimate pursuits of
commerce, though they may not always lead to for-
tune, and never to sudden riches, are the only safe
avenues on which the wise man will travel who ex-
pects to make a sure provision for his old age, and
leave a competency to those who are to follow him.
While gold has advanced nearly 11 per cent. since
Saturday last the decline on railway stocks has
varied between 21 and 31 per cent. ; New York
Central has fallen 91 ; Erie, 15 ; Illinois Central,
111; Fort Wayne, 161; Harlem, 28 ; Harlem pre-
ferred, 31 ; Michigan Southern, 221 ; Chicago and
Alton, 14 ; and Cleveland and Pittsburg, 11. Go-
vernmennstocks have also felt a downward tendency,
and have declined from I to 3 per cent.
The President's letter, which has done so much to
produce the mischief and to disabuse the public of
the idea of a speedy peace, is a characteristic and, in
some respects, an important document. Ardently
desiring peace and a restoration of the Union, he
sees and knows of no method securing these objects
but by the vigorous prosecution of the war. Com-
promiee he believes to be impossible, for the all-
sufficient reason that the Southern leaders and
armies will listen to no terms short of absolute in •
deponolence, an independence to which he, as Presi-
dent, cannot consent, and which he must continue
to combat by every means in his power. He fur-
thermore admits, though not in express terms, that
the recent successes of the Federal armies have in
reality done nothing to convince the South of the
hopelessness of its cause, or induce it to make
offers of submission. All this is undoubtedly true,
though its public confession by the President is
calculated to cool the boiling enthusiasm of that
large and impulsive portion of the Northern people
'who were until yesterday of opinion that Gettye-
burg, ae
jeassnurg, and Port Hudson were three blows
so nearly fatal to the South as to require but one
more to complete its subjugation, and which, ac-
cording to tho
weight at ellogramme, was to fall with crushing
sou:l7ton, and make an end once and
for ever of
dr: independence.

refuses to recall or modify his proclamation

it is not valid, it needs no retraction ; if' it is valid,

which shows more of the "crankiness" cf a lawyer
than of the sagacity of a statesman. If it be not
valid, its promulgation might yet betray such an
animus against the Southern siaveholders as to goad
them into a more determined t
resietaece •
Lincoln's armies than they might otherwise nave
displayed, in v-,hich case its

expedient to make. And, • the same way, if it
Wero as valid as the law, the Constitution, and the
fact could make it, the seine authority that
issued could withdraw it, if the public interest de-
manded. Another argument which
Mr. Lincoln
uses in defence of his proclamation would, if admitted,
prove a great deal too much for his case. "The
Constitution," he sap, " invests the Commander-in.
Chief with the law of war in time of war. The
most that can be said, if so much, is that slaves are
property. Is there, has there ever been," he asks

triumphantly, " any question that by the law of war
property both of enemies and friends may be taken
when needed ? And is it not needed whenever the
taking of it helps us or hurts the enemy ? Armies,
all the world over, destroy enemies' property when
they cannot use it." According to this reasoning,
Mr. Lincoln's Generals, instead of freeing the
enemy's negroes, might destroy them, just as they
would the enemy's horses or pigs, or any other pro-
perty they could not consume or carry away. Of
course Mr. Lincoln intended to convey no such mean-
ing, although some of his Generals, in placing negro
regiments in positions where their annihilation was
all but certain, with the object of proving to the
world that negroes could fight if they pleased, have
acted as if the destruction of such " property " were
quite as allowable as the destruction of stone walls.
On the general principle of the employment of
negro soldiers ➢Tr. Lincoln's reasoning is as satisfac-
tory as it is unnecessary. There is no just reason
why the free negroes of the North, and these who
have made themselves free by running away from
their Southern masters, should not, for the military
purposes of the Federal Government, be placed on a
footing of perfect equality with white men. Neither
the law of the Northern States nor the Federal Con-
stitution forbids their employment as troops, and if
military necessity or political expediency requires
their services the Northern people would be unwise

if they did not use them to the utmost extent.
But the objection to negro soldiers lies among white
soldiers, and is social and ethnological, not legal or
constitutional. Though white brigadier-generals,
colonels, majors, and captains are willing enough
to command negroes, white private soldiers obsti-
nately refuse to serve along with them. The ne-
groes must be kept scrupulously apart or the whites
will mutiny—a state of affairs which remains
wholly unaffected by Mr. Lincoln's vindication of
his undoubted right to enlist soldiers withoat re-
ference to the colour of their skins. The negroes
are quite aware of the prtjudice, and although they
offer themselves in sufficient numbers to form three
or four regiments, there are more white candidates
for the higher posts of command over them than
there are black soldiers to be commanded.
Although it is asserted that this letter is wholly
Mr. Lincoln's own composition, and that Mr.
Seward more especially has been prevented either
from mending or marring it, there are indications
that some other hand than Mr. Lincoln's has re-
vised and endeavoured to elevate its style. When
the Federal navy is described as " Uncle Sam's web-
feet" the world may be sure that the image is Mr.
Lincoln's own, but when with a rhythmical cadence
it is announced "that the father of waters again
floawsnuet, may b
nvexedto othesea,' the hand of Mr. Seward,
oTrheofwhsoolme ecomotphoesritinqouondan schoolmaster of the
Cabinet,
suspected,'
-
if not positively traced.
will no doubt be as widely
read in Europe as in America.
In its concluding
prayer North and South might well agree. " Peace
does not appear so distant asitanddids.o
clomhospaesittowbilel
stay,
come soon, and come to
worth the keeping in all future time." Without

sharing Mr. Lincoln's beiief that peace is any nearer
than it seemed to be at any period of the war, not
only North and South but the whole civilised world
may say " Amen to this sweet prayer."

Another and a much shorter letter of the Presi-
dent, characteristic of the simplicity of his mind
and the original kindliness of his nature, excites
attention, and inspires hopes that he has at last
seen the error of his ways in his constant interfer-
ence with the plans of his Generals. It is addressed
to General Grant, thanks him in cordial, though
not in eloquent terms for the victory achieved at
Vicksburg, and admits that several times during the
progress of the operations that were ultimately so
successful he had his misgivings that the General
was wrong, that he (Mr. Lincoln) would have acted
otherwise had he been in the same position. The
President candidly admits that in all this he was in
error. Taken in connexion with the fact that in his
letter to the Springfield Convention Mr. Lincoln,
for the first time, admits that General M'Clellan
gained a victory at Antietam, and that that battle
was as " bravely done" as Murfreesborough or
Gettysburg, people are inclined to hope that Mr.
Lincoln will for the future remember that be is only
an ornamental and nominal Commander-in-Chief;
that he knows nothing of the art or science of war,
and ought, therefore, either to leave his Generals
untrammelled by his advice until, for cause assigned,
ho and his Cabinet see fit to remoee them. The
tribute to General Grant is honest and hearty. That
to General M'Ciellan seems to be an accident—due
to a slip of the pen rather than to a studied desire
to do justice.
The draught in the cities cf New York and Brook-
lyn and the towns and villages of Staten and Long
Islands has been brought to a close, and in a fort-
night or three weeks the Government will be able
to count how many men it has produced. No dis-
turbance whatever has occurred during
its pro.
gress, except one provoked in a ginshop by a
drunken major and a drunken colonel, and of which
a drunken Irish lad of 20 was the victim. The
presence of 50,000 men, and the reliance of the
poorer conscripts that the city would pay their ex-
emption fee, has kept all things quiet, and, in spite
of the irritating presence of the soldiery, they are
likely to remain so. The Mayor and Controller
have publicly advertised for 10,000 substitutes, to
each of whom, if accepted, they offer the sum of
300 dols., so that the conscription has resolved itself
at last into a system of volunteering, with the only
difference that the city of New York provides the
funds for the purpose of paying the bounty money,
instead of Mr. Chase. Sensible people think that
the Government would have acted more wisely if
it had saved itself the odium of the proceeding,
even although Mr. Chase may be a gainer of three
millions of dollars by the transaction. It is notice-
able that very few native Americans consent to
serve personally, either as original conscripts or as
substitutes. The five substitutes shot for desertion
last week in presence of the Army of the Potomac,
and of 25,000 shameless civilians, who ought under
no circumstances to have been admitted to the spec-
tacle, were all foreigners—Germans, Italians, and
Irish. Oat of every 100 substitutes who offer them-
selves not three are American born, but mainly
Irish and Germans, some of them newly arrived,
who have net been 10 days in the country, and
others discharged volunteers, whom the war has
unfitted for honest industry.
There are yet no signs of the withdrawal of the
army of occupation, although not the shadow of a
necessity exists for its presence. The well-known
author and introducer of the Act of Conscription,
Mr. Wilson, shoe manufacturer, of Massachusetts,
and senator for that State in the last and present
Congress, custodian cf the conscience of Mr.
Lincoln, and prime mover in all the projects
that have for their animus the laying waste
of the South with fire and sword, and
the extermination of all its people, with
the sole exception of the negroes, has, however, in
a speech made at Brunswick, in Maine, given a rea-
son for the invasion of the peaceful community of
New York, which may well make the citizens shud-
der. " There are," said he, " forty-four regiments
in New York to help the Government to enforce the
draught, and there is not a soldier among them who
would not rather shoot a Copperhead, put a bullet
through his brains, than ho would shoot a rebel."
Mr. Wilson took the trouble to repeat this asser-
tion twice, in order that there might be no mistake.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES—WEDNESDAY,
THE ST. LEGER DAY,
The contrast presented by the aspect of the gathering on
Doncaster Meeting within the last few years is a striking
one. Through causes which it is unnecessary here to dwell
upon, the races had assumed a purely business character.
The course was denuded of all those attractions which make
Ascot and Goodwood such delightful reunions, and the
meeting was rapidly loosing the prestige which its past glories
flung around it. But a change, going far to re-establish the
old order of things, has taken place. The zealous co-opera-
tion of all well-wishers to its prosperity has made Doncaster
what it used to be before the springing up of so many pro-
vincial meetings—the head-quarters of the Northern Turf.
True, its moor does not exhibit, at least in the same form,
the galaxy of rank and beauty that 50 years since gladdened
the eyes of our forefathers. The Fit zwilliams, the Stanleys,
the Vanes, the Saviles, the Duadases, and the Pauletts do
not come in the pomp and pride of coach-and-six, and with
their families and retinue of servants, fill the quiet little
town for the week. This railway age has changed all that.
Still, the course to-day presented such a spectacle as Good.
wood only could rival, and in one particular not exhibit.
For here, in addition to the long array of grand seigneurs
and ladies of high degree, were the people, in densely-
packed ranks, taking as great an interest in " t'Leger" as
their betters, and having only the one object before their
eyes that had brought many of them such long distances
from their homes.
The distress in the North happily no longer tended, as
last year it did, to keep back the masses from the manu-
facturing towns, and the unmistakable type of that
class was present in great numbers. A larger assem-
blage has not been seen on the moors for some years.
Nor was the cause that had brought this great assem-
bly together unworthy of such a presence. Though
the lot was generally considered rather a moderate one,
still they were the progeny of mighty sires, whose fame
has been bruited abroad throughout the world. The sons
and daughters of Voltigeur, Now Minster, Kingston, and
Blink Bonny, descendants of yet more illustrious names,
were met to contest for the great prize, as their ancestors
had done before them, and in presence of those whose fore-
fathers had witnessed their triumphs and defeat renew the
struggle for equine fame.
And that struggle promised to be an exciting one. The
changes that the leading favourites had gonethrough within
the last few months, the equivocal position held by Lord
Clifden, the unceasing hostility exhibited towards him by
so many influential members of the ring, not to mention
the mystery attaching to the movements of other horses in
the race—all contributed to invest it with an unusual inte-
rest. The shuttlecock, as Lord Clifden had been termed,
seemed destined to deserve his name to the last. Yesterday
fluctuating from 7 to 6 to 1, he this morning was first fa-
vourite at 4 to 1, but a leading book-maker speedily drove
him from that position, and Avenger again took the lead, The
Ranger was firmer, and was backed for some money at 6 to
1. Previous to the race, however, another change took place,
and Lord Clifden was again elected to the premiership,
Avenger and the Ranger being respectively 4i and 6 to 1.
As they were marshalled past the stand in single file the
blooming condition of most of them elicited marked admi-
ration. Lord Clifden looked as well as horse could possibly
do. Blue Mantle's style of going was much fancied, and
National Guard's appearance won him many friends. Queen
Bertha and Ranger did not command any enthusiastic com-
mendation, and Borealis, though universally admired, was
admitted to be too much of a pony for a Leger winner.
Directly the flag felt, Lord Clifden was over one hundred
yards behind everything, and a derisive roar broke from
the members of the ring as they saw the horse, for another
mile, last of all. At this moment any price could have
been obtained about him, £lOO to a shilling having been
absolutely laid. He, however, showed himself not un-
unworthy of his blood, and Osborne, most judiciously
obeying orders, did not hurry him until he got over the
hill, when he began to act, and went through his horses
in an instant, At the distance he was in front, with
Queen Bertha and Borealis alone near him. On they came
amid the roar of many voices, and with the gaze of thousands
fixed on the struggle. Vainly did Wells call upon Queen
Bertha, and Challoner urge on the game little daughter of
Blink Bonny. It was not to be, and, amid great cheering,
Lord Clifden's number was hoisted as the Leger winner
of '63.

Lord St. Vincent, naturally overcome with excitement,
rushed down from the stand, shouting that " Lord Clifden
was the best horse in the world," and when he appeared in
the betting ring he was greeted with a tremendous ovation.
Lord Clifden and Johnny Osborne, when they returned to
weigh in, were hailed with immense cheering, hats being
thrown up in all directions. Edwin Parr, as ho led the
horse from the ground, was also enthusiastically congratu-
lated by the crowd.
It was doubtless felt that the race was a triumph over the
machinations of the bpokmakers, and the ill-natured spite
of people who libelled the trainer and questioned his ability.
Singularly enough, the Marquis, who was second to Carac-
tacus for the Derby, like Lord Clifden obtained the first
place at Doncaster, Subjoined are full details of the run-
