tss, Mr. Secretary Walker will have no necessity for
calling In the unpaid portion Of the last loan, which
snds Postponed to Let March next and tia, be j. dis
posed to loan two millions on Treasury Notes In the
manner which alluded to yesterday. Parties are
now engaged In the street in making Up list Of sub
.criDers such loan and the impression s general
that such an arrangement will be completed 1t would
materially relieve the market
We understand that the Agent Of the State Of
Illinois mas received remittance Of sl0O 600 and that
he will IN March, psy the inieres, tie sl6OOOOO
loan made By the bondhoders 10 complete the Canal
and also repay = cent Of the principal Of the loan.
This state is endeavoring to get grant from Con
sress Of all the unsold public lands in the State for
the purpose Of completing her public improvements
We pleased 10 chronicle the above evidence Of the
Increasing prosperity Of Illinois
II we are not misinf,rmed, a most remarkable
course is being pursued at Washington in regard to
lsnd warrants II appears that In great number Of
cases two land warrants have been obtained in the
name OF the soldier by fraudulent discharges.
This being discovered, more than thousand caveats
have been Issued by the Department annullng the last
warrants Issued 10 each case thus throwing the loss
the public who have bought these warrants In good
faith. This course has disturbed public confidence In
,hese warrants, AS it Is impossible to know whether
sny warrant will be &C acknowledged by ne Department
Congress viii probably be called upon place the loss
Of those warrants where il rightfully belongs new
regulation Of the General Land Office requires Ger
thcste from the Notary Justice of the Peace before
whom an assignment of land warrant is made TO the
eject that the assignment WAS filled up on the same
day that ii was acknowledged. It is also suggested
that proof, or oath Of Identity should In oil be
required by the Notary Justice.
y The Sub'Treasury today is paying out more
than /, is receiving and Of the Banks have been
more Opposed 10 make loans than they last week
Allusion has been msde in some of the City
pspers to the drain OF coin for California. and the
,nount already gone has been estimated At half mil
