THURSDAY, July lS-6 +. M.
There is nothing new in the money market, and
business is reported very dull indeed. A small
failure in the dry goods trade is reported. There
is great difficulty in obtaining first class paper at
the discount houses.
There is nothing doing in foreign exchange; the
market promises to open steadily.
Stocks wese rampant to-day; the volume Of bust
ness was larger than for some time past, and for
the first time for many weeks the commission
brokers report a fair amount of outside orders 10
buy stocks. People in Wall street appear to have
come to the conclusion that the war is as good as
over, and that the restoration of the authority of
government over the revolted States is merely q
question of time. On this theory there were buy
ers Of United States SKIES this morning at
s9N, an advance of "a per cent since yes
terdsy, and Of United States fves of 1874 at
50, an advance of TX. State stocks were all bet
ter. Missours rose ~, North Carolinas 2, Viz.
ginias s, and Tennessees 4. There was an active
inquiry for railroad bonds, generally at an improve
ment over last quotations. In the speculative rail-
way shares an unusually large business was done.
Several leading commission houses had large orders
to buy, and, the other hand there was evidently

EVACUATION OF SHIP IsLAND.-The New
Orleans Bulletin of the 18th of September
gives the annexed account of the evacuation
Of Ship Island:
Night before last, at eight o'clock, the
evacuation of Ship Island by the Louisiana
troops was completed, the fort dismanteled
and the guns, ammunition, ETC., removed.
Thirty.two hours were consumed in destroy
ing the fort, soldiers quarters, etc, and in
removing the troops and armament, during
which time two war steamers, two frigates
and several smaller vessels belonging to old
Abe Lincoln's feet were in sight, but at a
respectful distance, they not daring to inter-
feIe with the debarkation Of our men.
Had not the officers of the Lincoln fleet
been terribly frightened by the appearance
of our transports lin the vicinity of the ISL
and evidently thinking that they brought
re, endorsements TO the garrison-they mi sht
have caused our men much annoyance, if
not great loss of life. The evacuation of
Ship Island was military necessity, and the
officers who had charge of the work deserve
much credit for the admirable and successful
manner in which it was executed. Yester-
day the blockaders, we understand, ap-
preached the Island and threw several shell
into the deserted fort and finding no enemy
on the Island, vsliantly landed and hoisted
the United States flag.

The Gazette and The Proc,amatIon.


A correspondent of the Gazette asks its
opinion on General Fremonts proclamation.
The Gazette replies that the correspondent
can not have read the Gazette regularly; aud
that it expressed its opinion on the proclaim
alton when it was made, giving its reasons at
length. The difficulty probably was, that
the Gazette gave its reasons at so great length
that the correspondent found it impossible
to understand them. We confess the case of
the correspondent is a little like our own.
We have never been able to find out exactly
where, amid the vast variety Of possible po-
sitions, it chose to stand; and have no doubt
that if we had represented it as holding any
particular shade of opinion in respect to the
proclamation, our statements would have
met at once with fat contradiction.

MURDERED.--A military express arrived in
Santa Fe on the night of July IA, bringing
information that T. NJ. Turner, late of Ari-
zona, was found brutslly murdered near
Los Vegas, N. NJ. 1t was thought the man
committed the crime was one Wstrous, who
was his travelling companion. Mr.. Turner
had been a resident of Arizona for some
three years, and ever known as a faithful
friend of the Territory. He resided some
time at Tubac, but more recently at Tucson,
where he edited the Arizona newspaper, and
was the Arizona correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican, writing over the signature
of "Hesperian." He was an occasional cor
respondent of several other prominent pa
pers, and had formerly edited a paper at
Terre Haute, Ind, and a magazine at Gin
cinnati, o. He was native of Ohio, a law-
yer, and a typo, and when murdered was on
his way to the Territory of Colorado.

Tho Bnt,Ie In western VirgInIn.

The Gazette, which, for wholesale sheet,
certainly exhibits very retail propensities,
charges the Press with practicing decep-
tion upon the public in respect to the report
in its yesterdays issue of battle in Western
Virginia. "No other paper"-says the Co.
zstte-"had the news, nor will have it."
This is a mistake: the Commercial Of this
morning describes the same state of facts.
1t sold'-says the Gdzette-"the Press, and
sold its readers" If by this, the Gazette
means that the conductors of the PRESS were
guilty of wilful misstatements, it afirms an
untruth. If we had sold the public half as
many times as the Gazette in the matter of
war reports, we should be ashamed to charge
deception upon anybody.

been practicing the sensation business, man.

in the southwest, recently, declare that Nc
Culloch is dead, and this opinion appears to
be gaining ground. 1t is little singular,

How Much WAS PENNY A DAY Much
better wages than it sounds TO as. An ag4

Christ, penny was about equal to fifteen of

AN old gentleman named Q. P. Bailey, re-

Parkersburg, was arrested on Monday last,
by order Of Lieutenant Colonel Clarke, on
the charge Of reasonable correspondence
with the rebels. He was brought 10 Harmar,
where a preliminary examination was held
before Maior Bennett. The testimony against
him is said to be abundant. When the man
began to realize his situation, his presence of
mind gave way, and he tainted.

The story Of the closing of the navigation
of the Potomac by the rebels, told by corre-
spondents to the New York papers, tele-
graphed through the country, repeated by
the press, universal and officially acted upon,
turns out to be "a gross exaggeration."
That which gave occasion to it was that the
rebels had planted batteries which COM
manded the channel of the river, but which,
thus far, they have not seen fit to use. No
vessel has been stopped, and therefore the
navigation is not closed. Good.

Reported II emOvaI of General Fremont.
The report brought by telegraph of the re-
moval of General Fremont from his COM
mand is doubtless of average reliability; it
may be true and it may not. II it should
within the next twenty-four hours turn out
to be true, the act of removal will not proba-
bly, be looked upon with quite as strong feel
iDgs of popular indignation as it would have
been had it occurred week ago. AS the
time for action approached, and as men began
to gain full view of the Importance of the
events about to transpire in Missouri, the
question, What has General Fremont done to
inspire confidence that he is equal to this
great exigency2 came to assume practical
significance. He may be the right man in
the right place, but then again he may not;
and there is too huge an interest at stake to
hang upon an uncertainty without occasion
ing apprehension.
1t is to be presumed that the Government
is much better informed of the doingS of Gen
eral Fremont than the public; and cautious
as the Administration is, in personal mat
ters-being far more prone to err upon the
side of inaction than of action-it would not
be likely to act in the manner it is thought
to have acted in the case of General Fremont,
without reasons which, in its own view,
were of paramount importance.
While it would be matter of regret if
General Fremont should be treated with in
justice, the public in general will, we are in.
Clined to believe, not be displeased if it should
turn out to be true that an officer of SO much
ability and experience as General Wool has
been placed in command of the Western De.
partment.
