Platte, the Smoky Hill, and the Arkansas. Within this
belt of country, war is being carried on against the Sioux
and Cheyennes, and as we cannot with certainty, or intel-
ligently, distinguish a wild Indian of one tribe from those
of another, the war for the present is practically against
all wild Indians between the Platte aid tho Arkansas."

COMMERCIAL.

NEW Youx, June 1, 1867.

Last Saturday's steamer took out $838,211, and on Wed-
nesday $130,500 in specie went to Europe, making the total
for the year close on $17,000,600. The import of specie from
California amounted on Saturday to $568,998, making the
total from the commencement of the year $10,503,812. Gold
has been firmer. On Wednesday it advanced 1 per cent.
This is in consequence of Mr. M'Culloch's letter. The Sec-
retary wrote to the Boston merchants declining an invita-
tion to a public dinner, and took the occasion to dwell at
length on financial affairs. He did this last year on de-
clining a similar invitation, when he warned Congress
against extravagant appropriations. He now shows them
the effects of their lavish expenditure. But his letter has
imparted confidence to the Stock and Money Markets, as it
defines a distinct policy. Uncertainty is the bugbear of
our financial affairs. We never know what Congress
will do, as it is capable of doing any possible thing ; -
whether Protection or Free Trade will be in the
ascendant; what it is going to tax-or what to exempt.
Wo now know that the greenback currency will not bo
further contracted for some indefinite period, and this, of
course, sends up gold. The Government expenditure for
the quarter ending March3l was $232,741,052, and receipts
$239,241,854. There is a balance now in the Treasury of
more than $130,000,000, which, with gold, has strengthened
railway and miscellaneous stock, though no great anima-
tion is yet apparent. More freight is said to be carried on
both the Erie and New York Central than last year, but
not at remunerative rates. They are moving on
both lines to cut off the profitless portion of
their traffic, and secure, as far as possible, their earnings
for the proprietors. Michigan Southern has been firm,
steadily advances. It is now re-

(From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, June 12 )
By the Java we have our usual advices from Now York
to the 28th ult. Business generally on the Stock Ex-
change had been on a somewhat limited scale. Tho Go-
vernment Funds maintained their price, but the demand
had sensibly diminished.
Mr. M'Culloch's letter to the Boston merchants had ex-
cited great attention, and the conclusion drawn from it,
that, for some time, no further large contraction of the
currency would be possible, had in some quarters induced
operations for a rise in quotations, but the speculative
purchases had produced uo effect on the market.
The Assistant-Treasurer had notified that after the Ist of
June ho would be prep.ired to purchase, at current market
rates, the second and third series of Seven-Thirties, the
purchase of the first series having been suspended. Of
this issue there is only now about one-fourth of the whole
amount outstanding,
in July. and they will be paid off at maturity

Railroad stocks at ono time exhibited a slight upward
tendency, but quotations subsequently gave way, and
there was a decline all round, with the exception of Il-
linois Central, of from one to three per cent. from the pre-
vious week. The transactions in railway mortgages were
very limited, but Border Sato bonds were in request, at
an advance of quite st on Missouri, Tennessee, North
Carolina, and Virginia.
