THE Stock IN RTCHAoSD.--The Fredericks-
burg Herald, noticing the visits of merchan is
of that city to Richmond, says:
The merchants of Frederic ksburg who yis-
tied Richmond recently, and whose purchases
We're considerable, We're surprised to find
wholesale dry goods houses of such extent
prepared with superior assor tments of goods
suited to Virginia trade, and offered at prices
quite as low as in Northern markets If the
merchants of Virginia have any desire tc
build up home market we are assured they
will find, by visit to Richmond, that they
can do so without any sacrifice.

Times of the lSth in remarking upon Presi-
dent Lincoln's inaugural Message, asks:
Would it not be better 10 recognize at once
the forma ton of the Son thern Contederacy,
and to think a little less of constitutional pow
ers and decorums which can end in nothing
but civil war, and little more on negotia ton
and arrangement, by which alone that civil
war can be ayerted? 1t would be an intellis-
bic course We're the President to say tha! he is
going to negotiate for peace, or that he is going
10 enforce return 10 the Union by arms: but
10 say that he is going TO exercise the powers Of
the Constitution, ignoring altogether the fac t
of secession, is to make war certain while cut
ting OFF any opportunity for negotiation.

Our hope ia, that the impatient utterances OF
many, and the arrogant taunls OF 2 few, have
not driven General Scott from his Fabian poll
cy, aud led him to advance the army faster than
his Judgment prompted. II It be 50, then have
such men a weight Of suffering TO bear, to
which no expression Of Indignation from Us
could add anything. Those who demanded a
new leader, who paTaded the words in staring

"On to Richmond - and who sueered at the ad-
ministration as di!atory and compromising,
Ve leave to the bitter reflections, from which
they cannot escape.'-Nei0 Bedford Mercury.
Allthathas eendenonstrated is The strength

have shown their courage by shouting "For-

The New York Tribune. whose brutal vio-

and General Scott, for some weeks past, has
astonished and Disguised its friends, now goes
quite beyond all its previous efforts in this
line, and even has the audacity to call itself

cabinet. Personnel grievance and malice can
undertake to insult the pnblic by monopolizing
an occasion like this - Worcester Daily Spy.
The Tribune knew the number Of our troops
knew they were inferior in extent to the
rebels, yet it bounded on Gen. Scott, it bounded
on the p esident, it bullied its friends into
demanding an advance-the responsibility Of
the result rests upon it, and the s~everest denun-
citation OF its course is justifsble.-BostoE Be.
We cannot but think that it was the plan OF
the general ln-chief to drive the rebels from
the Junction mainly by military maneuver, and
not by throwing bis men into the Jaws of such
a terrible fire. But his policy seems to have
been overruled through the influence Of the
senseless clamors OF a set Of p~sstilent political

us Yesterday, that an entire regiment Of Penn

Report of the Secretary oFlho Trens-
urv,

In the Confederate Congress tie report Of
the Secretary of the Treasury was presented,

nond Examiner says CT il:
It IS understood that the report is mainly in
snaH er to a resolution passed at the late ses-
sio1 Of Congress ingtTucting the Secretary 10
prepare 3 statement touching the amount Ts-
ceived from all sources AID expended under
direction Of the Government and also tabular
statistics Of taxable properly IN tie several
States in toe COusederecy. In round Uamoers,
it is believed the expenditures have been
about $4,000, 600, up to 1st july. while re-
ce.pts have been about S14 000c00. The
former jLGlU3ss On item Of 500, 600 refunded
to South Carolina, in part satisfaction Of her
outlay in way OF preparation fer defense, an
terror 20 her adoption Of The Constitution OF
the Confederate States.
The Secretary Of the Treasury estimates
the taKsbie property, real and personal, Of
the eleven S ates at 81 100. O00. 600. Secretary
Chase puts that OF the United States 81 SI0,-
900 ,GO0. 600 but many Of bis values are ne
titious and ephcmeTSl, while the estimates Of
the Conie3erats Secretary are based on solid
securit ca. The expenditure Of the CoEfede-
rate Government does not, Cf course, include
the expenses incurred BY the States prior TO
their connection with the Southern ConfsdeTa-
Cy, except the case alluded to Of South Caro-
Ina. The bsIsace Of her outlay OF 100000
has been taken in Confederate bonds, no men

credit OF the Government. The Secretary
will soon issue s20,OO1,O0 Treasury notes,
