From The N>T York HlrHd. Oct is-h-I
There was a runor IN The street. that the
.4sid will bring Z million Of dollars IN geld.
That vessel was TO sail three DAYS after The
Atlantic. We could not trace the rumor t.
any responsible source, although that steamer
Hiil probably bring a small amount. The
Vanderbilt is rep0rteito have haF a million on
board, but II 50 it is probably IN dcubloons from
Havana. A passenger BY the dfiantic stateshe
gathered from conversations with Manchester
and London merchants and bankers that they
anticipated being obliged 10 send gold here for
the purchase Of produce under the embarrassed
condition OF the exchanges. The low rate at
which sterling is selling Is not only very IN
fortunate FOR those who must draw. but Is put
ting a stop 10 many operations which would
Otherwise be eonsummstei. Ne know Of
orders here for considerable amounts OF our
stocks ant b5sis-we believe Of some 10 coo
shares Illinois Central siock alone, and also
FOR breadstgfs and which il is impossible to
execute, because the bills drawn against them
cannot be sold.
Notwithstanding the resolution Of he bank
meeting, TO expand loans to ths extent OF three
millions, the weekly bank statement continues
. show a rapid contraction Of loans. reaching
ibis week 70 the extent u 5000 900. The
loans are now lower than they have been since
November, 1856, when they were SOB, 142.O 900,
and the deposits were more than twenty mil

The report, however, shows how severe the

Things not Generally Known.

BRoTHER JoNArHAS The origin
Of this term. as applied to the United
States, is as follows: When Gen. Wash.
ington, after being appointed commander
of the army Of the revolutionary war,
went to Massachusetts, to organize it, he
found great want of ammunition and
other means for its defense and on one
occasion il seemed that no means could
he devised for the necessary safety -
Jonathan Trumbun, the elder, was then
Governor of the State of Connecticut
aud the general, placing tho greatest re.
lance on his excellency's judgment. re.
marked, We must consult Brother Jon.
othan on the subject The general did
so and the governor was succ !ssful in
supplying many Of the wants of the ar.
my f; AMI thencefor,h, when difficulties
arose, aud the army was spread over the
coun'ay, it became a by-phrase. We
must consult Brother Jonathan ; and
the name has now become designation
for the whole country, as John Bull has
for England. - Dictionary Of american
ism, by j. r Bartlett, 1912.
"TuE STARS AND STRIPES The
American fag originated in resolution
of Congress, Juns. l3. l777, That the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternately red aud white; that
the Union be thirteen stars. white in a
blue field, representing new constella'
iion." The combination is thought TO
have derived from the arms of Gen.
Washing ton, which contains three stars,
in the upper portion, and three bars run
ming across tho escutcheen if this is not
correct, the c'iucii.acc is striking. There
were several flags used before the striped
flag by the Americans Formerly new
stripe was added for each new State ad'
mitted to tbs Union, until the flag bo'
came T.. large when, by act of Congress

President was authorized to increase the
number of prvates in the lSl companies,
last year serving on the frontier, to sew
enty four men each, which addition il
duly made, would give an aggregate Of
1853 men in the American army. IL
is probable, however, that considering
the constant losses of men By death, ex-
piration Of service, &c, our military force
is rarely greater than that FIRST mention
ed. The whole number Of recruits dur.
ing the six years ending September so,
1855. was 80 066, or an annual average
of SOIL. They are principally from our
large cities, New York furnishing her
full proportion. The difficulties of this
service may be imagined from the fact
that Of the l6 064 enlisted in that city
during tho year 1852, 1888 were re.
jocted for various causes. During peace
the greater number of recruits are for
cigners but in time of war this is revers.

nearly tho entire army was composed OF
Americans. The same may be said Of
the Mexican war. or five thousand en-.
