COMMERCIAL.


1A1oRDAr kyES1so, June Is, 1861.
The currency Of some of the Southern States has
improved during the week. and Is low freelv ta,s,
at par. Gold is in good demand ana e305- ,s.s-
sale at 10 Per cent premium, While The r-oro,.
charge 121GsI5 per cent, A considerable sr,o,,,.
Of Exchange has been tskeo during the ,see,- bv
merchants and others, partly to pay for aupr,,;e.
purchased at the North and partly to pay for bread
stusfs and provisions purchased st Louisville The
high price-l2a@15 per cent premium-Iestricts
the demand.
In the general markets business has been very
quiet during the week The Cotton and Tobacco
trade is about over for the present season though
small lots occasionally received. The stock OF
Cotton in the various Southern Ports st our latest
mail dates amounted to only 10000 bales, against
shout 100000 at the corresponding period lastyear
The stock in New Orleans on the Eth amounted to
only 5I9S bales against 96 O4s at theeor-esponding
date last year, and in Mobile on the 3lst ult, to
1882 bales, against 559S at the same period last
year. The New Orleans Price Current of the stA
says: "The nominal stock of Cotton left in the
presses and on shipboard not cleared is only about
6000 bales and will be still further reduced BY the
clearances of today and Monday, after which no
further departures will be permitted by the United
States ships at the passes The amount on sale can
hardly exceed 1000 bales. Nor do we expect fur
Their receipts of any moment. The limited amount
remaining on plantation win no doubt be withheld
from market until navigation is sgain free, and
freights rule at reasonable rates"
There has been fair degree Of activity in Flour
mainly on Southern account, though there has been
gradual dlminution ia the demand consequent up
on the appearance of Flour from new wheat, in
some of the States South Of us. We quote

SOCIAL POSITION.
The cadets of the Military Academy are
chosen from every station of social life. An
estimate of their condition in life from 1912
to 1859 shows the following results: Sons
of farmers or planters, LOIS; of mechanics,
3O5; of judges or lawyers, SCI of mer-
chants, SIS; of boarding house or hotel
keepers, So; of physicians, 800; of army,
navy or marine officers, 1924; of civil off.
GERS of the geneaal or state government,
176; of bank officers, editors, professors,
masters of vessels, &C.; 405; and of sons of
other occupations and gentlemen of leisure,
262-making total of 406l. The MAXI
mum were the sons of farmers, while the
minimum were the sons of boarding. house
keepers. OF those in independent circum-
stances the number was 2Ol in moderate
circumstances, 3,l03; in reduced circum-
stances, 282; in INDECENT circumstances,
155; and in unknown circumstance, 800.
We can at once see by these statistics that
the charge laid against West Point of be-
ing an aristocratic institution is wholly un-
Just and untrue. Indeed, these circum-
stances 60 to show that the War Depart
ment is very impartial in the selection of
young men as cadets.
The last appropriations made for the
support of the United States Military
Academy at West Point is as follows: For
pay of officers, instructors, cadets and mu.
sicians, SOL LOG; Communication of subsis-
tence, 1904, and forage for officers hor.

Senator Douglas and Senator Breck-
tnridge."


Asa Trenchard," the spicy correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Press, relates the
following incident, which forcibly illustrates
the character of the late Judge Douglas:
After the close of the last Presidential
election, and on the assembling of Congress
Judge Douglas wishing, as be assured Inc
at the time, to wash out any old grudges or
ill feelings, and to begin bis personal rela-
tions with his senatorial colleagues anew,
sent his card to Mr.. Breckenridge as FIRST
step to his intended course of Cancellation.
He met Mr.. B., who passed him without a
bow of recognition. The card remained
unanswered. Subsequently, Mrs. Douglas,
animated by the same kind and magnani.
nous disposition, and unaware of the dis
courtesy of the kentucky Senator, sent him
her usual reception cards. To these Mr..
Breckenridge responded by returning his
card to Mrs. Douglas, the Mrs. UNDERSIGNED.
such littleness could not escape recogni-
ton. " l thought it," said the Judge to
me some time after, /" not the best evidence
of greatness of mind or largeness of heart,
and most certainly would much prefer re-
ceiviDg than giving the discourtesy." / am
of the opinion that there are thousands who
are of the same opinion. mention the tri.
vial anecdote as specimen of the magnan-
imous chivalry of gentleman who has been
wontedly boosted as prince of the finished

On Friday, Col. Allen was arrested by
order of General Butler, for disregarding
the safeguards issued by the General. Speak
ing of the Colonel's arrest, Mr.. Fl. j. Ray
mond, writing from Fortress Monroe on the
18th, says:
The main point Of interest here to-day is
the arrest of Col. Allen, of our New York
regiment. l happened to be at Gen. But
ler's headquarters when the arrival of COL
Allen was announced. He was asked to
walk in, and received a courteous greeting
from the General, who had ordered his ar
rest. He was told that on making proper
written application, he would receive such
indulgence in regard to quarters as the
rules OF war would permit. He made the
application accordingly, and was told what
freedom of movement he could enjoy. The
arrest is matter of good deal of impor>
lance, and will give rise to considerable
comment, without doubt The general feel
ing here is that it is just and deserved ex-
ercise of authority, and that if properly fol-
lowed up, it will tend to check some very
serious abuses which have crept into our
service, and which tend very seriously to
ipjure the Union cause
| understand that the charges against
Colonel Allen embrace several offences. He
is accused, in the first place, of going be-
yond the line of our pickets with men of his
command, which is in direct violation of
military law. His men, moreover, have
been guilty, at various times, of very seri-
Gus violations of private rights, in commit
ting depredations upon private property,
and in offering serious insults to persons
who had in no way subjected themselves. to
our hostility. Yesterday or day before be
is accused of having seized six persons, and
brought them into camp as prisoners, in
spite of the fact that three of them exhibit
ed permits to remain on their farms, signed
by Gen. Butler, and the other three exhib-
tied similar passes, signed by Colonel Allen
himself
This violation of permit is in itself
very serious violation of military law. Col.
Aliens excuse is, that these six men were
at work for secessonist, and were about
to harvest splendid field of wheat, of which
the alleged secessionist IA widow was the
owner. 1t was further charged, that after
making the arrest, he ordered the wheat
field to be set on fire, and 1t was utterly de
stroyed. Such an act of vandalism as this,
certainly deserves the severest punishment.
Allen alleges, however, that he did not Or
der the burning, but that he had, moreover
been told by them that the six men whom
he arrested were not engaged in harvesting,
but were intending to steal horses in his
camp. He declares his ability to refute all
the charges that are brought against him,
and attributes the arrest to the malice of
his enemies.

The Trial of the Pirates.

From the New York Evening Post of Saturdav.
The indictment against the privateersmen
Of the Savannah was drawn to-day and
they will be arraigned in the United States
Circuit Court at one o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon. The prisoners will waive an ex>
animation and Will be remanded for trial,
which will come on as soon as the Gordon
slave case is disposed Of
Distinguished counsel has been engaged
for the defence, consisting of Mr.. David
Paul Brown, of Philadelphia, Daniel Lord
and Messrs. Bowdoin, Larocques and Bar.
low, of this city. The prisoners are indict-
ed for "treason, piracy and robbery on the
high SEAS" and while they will plead "not
guilty." conviction upon the three charges
seems inevitable. The prisoners themselves
do not deny the facts the prosecution pro-
pose to introduce. One of the privateers
will turn states evidence, and the captain
of the captured vessel is here as witness.
The officers are fully aware of their posi-
ton. From their conversation, one would
Judge that they all expect to be convicted
and sentenced, and then to be subjects for
Executive clemency. The captain says
that be does not consider himself pirate,
and the officers all think that they ought to
be treated "as prisoners of war;" The cap.
tain remarked this morning that he couldn't
see why he should be tried as pirate, any
more than why southern troops captured on
land should be convicted as highway rob-
her,"
These men not only appreciate their pres
ent situation, but express their regrets at
the capture of the Joseph, which is certain
ly an unpleasant matter. The first officer,
Harleston, says that be went into the
business more as a matter of excitement
than any thing else;" be expected that
they would make short cruise and have a
little fun out of it-that's all. The sailing
master, Howard, tells queer story: "He
shipped to 60 to the West Indies to see his
wife," who lives, he says, in the south of
Cuba; but be does not propose to put this
in as a mitigation of his sentence, since be
said nothing about it when he shipped;
" if be should be executed" tie facts must
come out, so that the account of his death
and his few effects can be sent to his wife.
Purser Pascallaigue takes the matter
coolly he says that they can murder him
if they like" but he thinks he ought to h" be
treated as prisoner of war;"
