there were in the Union 1,476 bank, possessing a
realised capital of 401,976,242 dollars. Since the
crisis of 1857 the realised capital of these banks has
increased by a sum of 31,000,000 dollars. The
proportion borne by specie to bank paper differs in
various States. In the Eastern States it amounted
a year ago to 331 per cent. ; in the Central States
to 88 per cent.; in the Southern States to 28-1,- per
cent. ; in the South-Western to 74 ; and in the
Western to 19 per cent.
In the four years preceding 1860 the number of
emigrants to America from Europe has sensibly
diminished, as will be apparent from the following
statement :

In 1856 there arrived in the United States from
Europe....
„ 1857
„ 1858
„ 1859
The number of emigrants who landed at New York
in 1860 only amounted to 103,621.
Previous to the secession of the Southern States
the regular army of the Union amounted to
12,900 men, and the militia to 3,070,987, of which
number 51.460 were officers. A year ago there
were 27,857 miles of railroad in actual operation
in the States ; at present many of the lines are
closed and the traffic suspended. The European
countries whose commerce will most suffer from
the civil war now prevailing are Great Britain,
Spain, France, with the Brazils. The importations
from England and the exports from America to this
country exceed five times in value the commodities
imported from and exported to France, as will ap-
pear from the following figures :—The imports from
England in 1859, according to the latest accounts,
amounted in value to 157,993,877 dols., while those
from France only amounted to 31,447,005 dole.
The exports from American ports to England and
her colonies were valued in the same year at
215,679,761 dole., and to France at 45,107,074 dols.
American importations from Spain considerably
exceed those from France, amounting, as they do,
in value to 44,505,409 dole. The exports from the
States to Spain are but one-half the value of the
imports, amounting only to 22,917,402.
The value of the imports of the free States from
foreign countries, according to the latest accounts,
amounted to 305,813,000 dols., while the slave
States imported only to the amount of 32,955,000
dols. The exports of the slave States, on the other
hand, exceed in value the exports of the free States.
The slave States export to the value of 187,627,000
dole., while the free States' exportations are only
valued at 169,163,000 dols.
The population of the free States was reckoned in
the year 1860 at 27,667,000, while the population of
the slave States was only 3,910,000. The export-
ing and importing free States are sixteen in number,
the principal being New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, and California. The slave States carry-
ing on an import and export trade are ten, viz.,
Louisiana, Maryland, the two Carolinas, Virginia,
Delaware, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
In the years 1868 and 1859 the number and ton-
nage of European ships entering the American
ports wereas follows :
(1) English 18,757158 vessels, carrying 4,202,105 tons.
(2) Hanseatic
7)
448,616 „
(3) Spanish 483
7) 140,155 „
(4) Swedish 174
(5) French 132 )) 66,722 „
)) 43,788 „
It will be seen from this table that England alone
sent eighteen times as many ships to the States as
all the rest of Europe, and five times as much
tonnage.
The Northern States chiefly produce the cereals
and plants found in Northern Europe. In the Cen-
tral States tobacco and hemp are chiefly grown. In
the Southern States, properly so called, the prin-
cipal products are:cotton, rice, and sugar. Indian
corn grows in all the States. Of late years the vine
has been much grown in particular localities. The
numerous German emigrants settled in Ohio and
Missouri assiduously cultivate the vine, and sell at
Cincinnati and St. Louis a wine said to be very
tolerable. In the year 1859'the district of Los
Angelos exported 325,000 gallons of this wine to
San Francisco.
The cotton crop of 1859 and 1860 exceeded all
former yields of that material. It produced
4,675,770 bales, being 824,289 bales in excess of
the cotton harvest of 1858 and 1869 ; 3,774,173
bales, or four-fifths of the total of this amount,
was exported to Europe, England receiving
2,669,432 bales, France 589,587 bales, and the
North' of Europe and other countries the re-
mainder.

211 E CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

(From the Special Correspondent of the Times.)

NEW YORK, MAY 28.
• The troops that were pushed into Virginia last
week have since occupied their time in throwing
up earthwork intrenchments. With that exception
no move of importance has taken place since my
last letter. General Scott's position to the west of the
Potomac is now regarded as secure. His lines ex-
tend from a point opposite Georgetown to Alexan-
dria, and the advance scouts are thrown out to the
westward about 20 miles. The bridges on the rail-
way from Alexandria to Leesburg—up the valley of
the Potomac towards Harper's Ferry—have been
destroyed by direction of General Scott, and the
rebel forces have done the same with the bridges
on the railway leading from Alexandria, by way of
Fairfax, to the Manasses Gap. It is stated in the
telegrams from Washington this morning that the
Southern troops are concentrating on Manasses
Gap and constructing intrenchments there. As this
would be the most natural thing for them to do I
think it very likely that the news is correct. The
possession of the Manasses Gap Railway by the Go-
vernment forces would cut offdirect communication
between the Harper's Ferry forces and those sta-
tioned at Richmond ; and General Scott's move-
ments point plainly to such a possession. Then the
large force collected at Harper's Ferry and in the
valley of Virginia must either fight or retreat. The
Government continuo- to collect, forces at Gettys-
burg and Chambersburg, near the Pennsylvania
line in front of them--the force at the Relay-house
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad below them is
increased, and troops continue to go forward to
Washington. Since my letter by the Great Eastern
three days since, four regiments of 1,000 each have
gone from this part of the country, one of them a
New Hampshire regiment, and three from the City
of New York. Thus you will see that, as General
Scott increases his forces, he begins to draw his
lines closer about Harper's Ferry. Troops also con-
tinue to go forward to Fort Monroe, though not in so
large numbers. I observe that some of the best regi-
ments have been sent there. Duryce's Zouaves, the
best regiment that has gone from New York,
and the Vermont regiment, also made up of picked
men, have both gone there. The total force re-
ported at Fort Monroe is 6,000, enough for defen-
sive purposes, or to detain a hostile force that other-
wise might be moved North, but apparently not
enough for any offensive movement.

The Union vote in Virginia is unexpectedly large,
and some of the Northern newspapers are hoping
for a majority. Ido not think there is the slightest
chance for such a result. The Secession authorities
have the counting of the votes, which will be enough
to prevent such a result, even were it otherwise
possible.
The State of North Carolina has seceded, and has
also joined the Southern Confederacy absolutely,
without any condition of reference to the people.
I shall fail in my duty as a faithful correspon-
dent if I longer neglect to speak of the growing,
and, so far as I can judge, deep-seated feeling of
regret in the popular mind at the manner in which
England has received the news of the war. This
sentiment began to manifest itself about a month
since, when the public first thought that it per-
ceived manifestations of a change in English public
sentiment towards the South, and it has steadily
increased with each day. I hear from all classes
and all sides bitter complaints against the Govern-
ment—more bitter and more heartfelt than the pas-
sionate outbreaks which you will find in the news-
papers—complaints that the Government hastened,
on the first news of war, to give to the rebels the
support even of a proclamation of neutrality, recog-
nising them as entitled to equal countenance and
consideration with this Government, which has long
been on such friendly terms with the people of Eng-
land. Why, it is asked by such persons, does the
British Government meet the United States, con-
tending with persons in rebellion to extend the
domain of Slavery, with a different and harsher
policy than it had for Austria contending with
Hungary ? What has the United States done that
England should welcome its disintegration ? How
would England have received a proclamation of
neutrality when Ireland or India rebelled ? Why,
then, has the British Cabinet made such hot haste
to give a status to rebels here ? As I have already
said, this feeling is deep-seated, wide•spread, and
threatening. I can only speak, from my own
knowledge, of the feeling in New York; but I hear
the same account from all parts of the interior. I
can speak positively about New York, that the
public mind is, however unjustly, rapidly becoming
possessed of the idea that England sympathises
with Southern Slavery in its attacks upon. the in-
stitutions of this country ; and that under this
apprehension or misapprehension, the good and
kindly feeling which three generations of peaceful
and friendly relations have created are vanishing
away. Indeed, whatever may be the fate of the
rebellion, whether successful or a failure, and no
matter what may be hereafter said in England when
the relative strength of the two parties is better
known, I fear that it will be long before the hearty
admiration—one might almost say affection—for
England that existed throughout the North two
months since will be restored.

The new Government loan was taken on Satur-
day at rates equivalent to about 7 per cent. The
loan was apportioned as follows :—Funded stock at
85 to 86. 7,319,750 dols.; Treasury notes at par,
1,674,250 dols. The successful bidders are rapidly
paying their gold into the Sub-Treasury, where the
balance is about 9,500,000 dols., with a probability
of being 12,000,000 dols. before the close of the
week.

The presidents of the leading banks of New York
have addressed the following letter (which speaks
for itself) to the Governor of the State :

"Now York, May 13.
To HIS EXCELLENCY E. D. MORGAN, GOVERNOR OP

THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

" Sir,—By proclamation, dated the 26th day of April last,
Joseph E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, sets
forth and declares that property of the citizens of Georgia,
whenever found within thelimits of the anti-slavery States,
in which the said Governor includes the State of New
York, is seized and forcibly taken from its owners.

"And Governor Brown further forbids and refuses to
allow the citizens of Georgia to pay their indebtedness, of
whatever kind or nature, to any citizens of this State, but
invites them to pay the same into the Treasury of the State
of Georgia, in any funds bankable in Augusta or Savannah,
and to receive therefore a certificate of sums so deposited.
We now, as officers of banks in the city of New York,
doing business with banks, bankers, and merchants of
Georgia, and other States, known as the Confederate States
of America, now in revolt against the Government of the
United States, deem it proper to apprise your Excellency
that we do distinctly deny the truth of the statements so
made by the said Governor of the State of Georgia.
" The banks of this city have paid, and continue to pay,
in every case, all draughts against funds deposited, whether
by Southern, Western, or Northern banks, bankers, or
other dealers, and any statement or allegation to the con.,
trary is wholly unfounded.

New York.
G. S. CoE, President of the American Exchange

"J. J. CRANE, President of Bank of Republic.
" G. D. ANGELIS, Cashier of Mechanics' Bank, New
York.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills and Ointment.—
Determination of Blood to the Head, Palsy, Apoplexy.—
The daily press abounds with sudden deaths, chiefly result-
ing from these diseases. They never come on momentarily;
premonitory symptoms always herald their advent, which
may assuredly be altogether averted by timely use of Hol-
loway's preparations, which draw the blood from the head.
The Ointment should be rubbed into the nape and sides of
the back twice 'a day, while the Pills are being taken. The
Pills and Ointment soon equalise the circulation, remove
the giddiness, and overcome the nervousness. After regu-
lating the flow of blood, these purifying remedies act most
beneficially on every organ; and during their wholesome
operation the entire body is rendered healthier than before
the threatened attack.
