The Currency.

For the first time since the settlement of
the country, the balance of trade is in favor
of the Northwest. The consequence is,
that whatever gold is brought here from
abroad stays here. We are selling more in
foreign markets, than we buy, and this
keeps the balance of trade, land it should
always be sternly kept SOY in our favor. A
continued and unyielding persistence in the
demand that the broad basis of our currency
shall be specie, will bring to US permanent
prosperity. In the long run, nobody ever
makes anything by having anything to do
with deprecated currency. The nearer
prices can be kept to specie basis, the
better it will be for each and all. 1t is
better for man to pay $3.50 in gold for a
cord of wood, than $3.50 in deprecated
paper and it is also better for the seller.
So of everything else. On the whole, in
due time, both buyer and seller will find out,
by counting profit and loss, that they have
made nothing by giving circulation to lying
bank notes any more than any other lie.

The Milwaukee Riot.

Milwaukee was quiet on Tuesday--the
day after the riot. The military held their
positions on the different streets, and the
police were active in seeking for more of the
rioters. The Sentinel of Wednesday, says ::
There is no appearance of any disturbance,
though rumors come to US occasionally of the
entrance of five hundred farmers from the
country, and the organization of powerful
army in the Ninth Ward. We, however, paid
that portion of the city visit yesterday alter
noon, and found it to be the most quiet ward
in Milwaukee. We believe there need be no
apprehensions of another riot.
About sixty persons were arrested--one
half of whom, upon examination, were dis.
charged.
AS to money matters, we have the fol-
lowing interesting news from the Sentinel.
We may expect another horde of wild cats /:
We are authorized to state that at a meeting
of the State Loan Commissioners, with leading
Bankers from different parts of the State, and
Onr City Bankers, it was arranged that the
Banks of the State should take the State Loan
at par.
The Banks have also perfected a plan by
which the bonds of the seeded States will be
withdrawn from the Comptroller's office and
their place supplied by the bonds of our own
State.
1t is stated that. within a few days, the secu-
rites Of the banks on the current list, will be
made up to par, except the ten broken banks,
and it is hoped that some of them may also be
brought up. The late hour at which the infor-
nation reached US, precludes further particu-
lars or comment.

Union Sympathy of Young Italy.

Union Sympathy of Young Italy.
Mr.. Marsh, the new American Minister
at the Court of Victor E manuel, has arri-
we'd at Turin, and now has been published
the answer which Mr.. Seward, United
States Secretary O. Foreign Affairs, returned
to the Italian Enjoys announcement that
Victor Emanuel had assumed the title of
King of Italy. The reply, in substance, is
as follows:
The undersigned can entertain no doubt but
that the extended authority now assumed by
his Majesty Victor Emanuel, being as it is so en-
tirely in conformity with the desires of the Ital-
an people, will be exercised by him with the
same wisdom and moderation by which his
Majesty's rule has been always distinguished
hitherto; and the undersigned trusts that his
Majesty's reign will be prosperous and happy
for himself, as well as acceptable to his sub.
jects.
Thanks, Brother Jonathan, for the friend
" message to cur Italian allies who cherish
equally good wishes for you just now,
amidst all your own domestic trouble

The Sickles Brigade.

The parade of this much-talked-of body Of
men at Camp Scott, on Sunday. was COM
plete success. Upward of three thousand men
were under review, which, added to those on
guard, those absent on furlOugh, and about
three hundred who were unable to appear on
parade owing to the non-delivery on Saturday
of their uniforms, gives an aggregate of about
four thousand six hundred men. This number
will, within few days, be increased to the re
quisite five thousand, by recruits now on their
way thither. The obstacles which have been
thrown in the way of the formation of this bri-
gade by portion OF the press, seem TO nave
been surmounted by the energy and vlgOr OF
the commanding officer. We have good au-
thority for stating that General Sickles has per-
formed his original undertaking to the entire
satisfaction OF the government; that he Will
report his brigade at headquarters whenever
called upon, and accept any position assigned
him by his superiors. He has raised single
handed, and in the face of overt and covert OPP
position, larger body of men than any indi-
vidual since the breaking out of hostilites.
This, we think, ought to shield him from the
sinister and malevolent onslaughts even OF
those who have unsuccessfully endeavored to
make him instrumental in furthering their pri-
vate interests.-Neao York World.
After quoting the above, the Rochester
Union remarks, and we believe with truth,
that &c no civilian has profered his services
to the Government in a military capacity
VINO bids farer to "maRe his mark" or who
is more dreaded by the enemy, than Daniel
E. Sickles; and none has been more fierce
ly, neanly and ungenerously, opposed at
every step of his progress, by large por-
tion Of the Republican press. Knowing
the indomitable energy of the man and his
power to vanquish whatever obstacles his
enemies may thrust in bis way, we have
never doubted that he would overcome them
all. 1t appears that be has already sub.
stantially achieved a victory more difficult
perhaps of accomplishment than the rout of
an army on the field of battle.

Important ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

A Washington correspondent of the
World telegrapbs that journal that Jeffer.
son Davis has sent Commissioners to Wash
ington to offer compromise to the federal
government. The World gives quasi in
dorsement to its correspondents statement,
affirming that the sources of his information
(which are privately communicated to the
editors, though not official, are entitled to
great respect; that the character and posi-
ton of the informant makes it certain that
they have the fullest confidence in the truth
Of their statements, and that their rep
utation for judgment and sagacity is not
easily reconcilable with the hypothesis that
they have been practised upon. Still, the
editors have clearly some misgivings about
their correspondents statement, and to our
mind the probabilities are greatly against
its being true.
According to the Worlds correspondent,
the Commissioners on arriving at Washing
ton were asked what their wishes were, and
responded by proposing the two following
propositions -
First, That the United States Internationally
recognize the existence of the Southern Con-
federacy, and that the latter be permitted for
term of one, two, or three years, to carry on
their government as an experiment. That the
expenses of the war thus far incurred be equ.
tably arranged between the two sections, and
that each do its best for the maintenance of
friendly feeling and intercourse between the
two peoples. And that if, at the expiration Of
the time agreed upon. it be found that the ex.
pertinent cannot succeed, commission be ap-
pointed to reconstruct the Union.
Second, The South will be content if the gov.
eminent will pledge itself to pass; at the coming
session of Congress, an irrepealable constitu-
tional provision recognizing and legalizing for
ever the institution of slavery below thirty
six thirty, which is the Southern boundary line
of the State of Missouri. This done, the South.
ern provisional government pledges itself in
stantly to abandon the war, adm to re establish
peace and the most cordial relationship, SO far
as it's section is concerned; to redirect the
course of trade into its accustomed channels,
and in every way restore the happy days of our
forefathers.

English and American Census.

The English census returns for 1861 show
very considerable increase during the past
ten years. The present population of Eng
land and Wales exceeds twenty millions.
Ten years ago they were eighteen millions.
The exact figures are as follows:
Population in l...................2O 20, 2O5 ,5O4
IN OIL. lis, 035, 92S
increase in ten years. ............ 2,l69,576
The population of Scotland and Ireland
is not yet made public. The population of
Scotland ten years ago was 2,808,542. The
present population is estimated at 3,2OO,-
600. Ireland in 1851, contained 6,5I5,l93
and is now estimated at 100000, making
the total population of the United King
dom 3O,405,5O4. In 1851 they contained
27,475, 261-the increase in the intervening
period being about three millions
Ireland in 184I containeda population of
8,196,579. But the awful famine of 1916
and the immense emigration to America re-
duced the population to 6,5l5,794, being
decrease of l ,67O,785 in ten years. Forty
years ago the population of Ireland was
6,6O1,597, which shows that it was almost
as large forty years ago as at the present
day.
By the recent census the population of
London is found to be 2,8O3,O34, an in
crease of 440,79 upon 1851.
1t is hard to believe that city of that
size can be supported in little island. The
population of the State of Pennsylvania last
year was only 2,9l6,O18. London contains
as many inhabitants as Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, all combined! 1t is as pop
ulous as two New Yorks, with Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore and Brooklyn added, and
is still growing.
Great Britain and Ireland have lost by
emigration in ten years 2 ,249,355. Half of
this number have sought homes in the Uni
ted States. The residue settled chiefly in
the Canadas and Australia.
The population of the United States, by
the census of 1860, was 3l,646,S69, being
an increase in ten years of 8,454,993. The
white population was 27,24l,792, of which
the Free States contained l9,232,460.
The ratio of increase in the .. States is
three per cent. every year. Add three per
cent. to last years population, and we have
the following results:
Whole increase in one year. ......... 949,406
Present total population. 80, 595, 275
Present Free States population. -. .l9, 500, 433
Add to the free States Delaware, Mary
land, Kentucky, Missouri and Western Vir-
ginia, which are under the jurisdiction of
Federal authority, and it makes total
population Of 23,587 ,335, of whom Asa, 296
are slaves.
The rebel confederacy contains 5,356,835
whites and free blacks, and 3 1888, Jos slaves,
making total free and slave population of
9OO7,94O.

PROGRESS OF THE FIRST RKaIMENT.-The
First Minnesota Regiment, which left Chi
cago last Sunday night by the ?. & F. w.
R. r., arrived at Pittsburg in twenty-four
hours, and took the cars for Harrisburg,
and arrived in thirty-six hours from Chica-
go. j. N. Du Barry, Esq, of the Pitts
burg Railroad, spread an excellent break
fast at Fort Wayne, and the Company gave
them dinner at Crestline. The officers
and men were delighted with the route and
the conduct and attention of the employees
of the railroad, and speak of the admirable
management of the entire line. We suspect
the boys were indebted to a considerable
extent for kind attentions on this line to
Dan. w. Boss, ESQ.,, of Chicago, who al
ways takes pride in doing everything in his
power for Minnesotians.
We find in the La Crosse Republican the
following notice of the portion of the regi-
ment that went over the La Crosse road:
The most casual observer of men would not
fail to discern in the rank and file of the Min
nesota Regiment body of men who have
brain, muscle and pluck. There was certain
indescribable something in the firm tread, the
resolute bearing and soldierly discipline of the
Mnnesotans, that needed no interpreter to as
sure any one that watched their movements.
that they were going on earnest business. We
predict that the LIST Regiment from Minnesota
will take high rank among the brave volun
teers. The officers had the appearance of men
who were qualified to discharge the response
BILE and arduous duties that are inseparable
from their respective stations. The men SEEM
ed to be under good discipline, and were ella
ted at the prospect of soon being in active
public service. The Regiment was well equip
ed, and everything was right.
