mates that the repulse at Balls Bluff has de-
,.road tho plan Of the Ccmmander-in-C Chief,
and may possibly defer temporarily the ad-
vance Of the main army, which was projec-

hold to the belief that the grand movement

Of the Philadelbhia Press. whose means Of

opinion that an advance will be ordered

Government at Richmond, Mr.. Memm'nger'
to the commissioners appointed to receive
subscriptions to the produce loan, in reply
to a request from the cotton planters. 1t would
appear that the planters have appealed 20 'ne
government either to purchase the entire COT
ton crop of the year, or to make an advance
upou it's hypothecated value. To both OF
these proposals Mr.. Memminger declines 70
accede. He declares 1.-THE experiment OF IN
oreasing the liability, and thus damaging the
credit Of the government, is too dangerous
