GEN. SCoTT AND GEN. McCLRLLAN.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Inquirer says:
There is no truth whatever in the report that
Gen. Scott feels aggrieved at the presence here
of Gen. Mcclellan. On the contrary, the old
hero was counseled when the question Of order
ing him here vas raised, and earnestly urged
that it should be done. The kindest and most
intimate relations exist between the old and the
young General. The latter submits all his
plans to the former, defers always to his supe-
rior Judgment, and never undertakes any inn
portant movement without the sanction of the
veteran chief. Even when the mutiny of the
18TH New York Regiment was to be suppressed
Gen. Mcclellan, having rapidly made all the
necessary preparations for that purpose, waited
upon Gen. Scott, and laid before him the order
to be read to the mutinous regiment.

THE FINANCIAL BARuMETER.-The Bmllr.
tin. of Tuesday evening. in iis financial ar
iicle. says:
Adylces from New York received not long
since indicate a considerable movement in
Southern Stocks, which appears to be appre-
ciating under the influence of a demand from
some quarter. These large transactions would
seem TO betOken degree of confidence on the
part of the individuals engaged in them, but
may be only phase of the reckless stock job
bing not unfrequent in that market. A ques-
ton, however, naturally arises. Are they on
home or on foreign account II the latter,
they may be significant of that coming inter-
vention In our affairs on the part of foreign
governments of which we have occasionally
seen intimations of late, and which Is so anx-
iously expected by the South. The movement
of Stocks is political thermometer, from which
the approach of great changes is often first
learned. One thing appears certain, these
transactions would not be likely to result from
the expectation of protracted war; nor Of
war disastrous to Southern interests. What
do they mean then May it not be true, as re-
ported by distinguished Southern merchant
at Washington, that an armistice is to be called
for by the Confederate Government, and ne
gotiatiOns for reconstruction opened? The
opportunity is favorable for the South to take
the initiative in such measure. Their arms
have been successful, and they maintain an un-
diminished show of strength. They can do
without loss of honor now what the future
chances of war may never leave them an OPP
portunity to do again, under circumstances so
favorable. May it not also be, that foreign
powers have insisted on this course, as prelim-
mary to concentrated action on their part
These are mere speculations-feeble attempts,
no doubt, to fathom the great abyss Of diplo-
macy-but if not founded in error, they afford
satisfactory clue to what is otherwise ex-
tremey enigmatical. In the multitude of con-
ficting statements it is quite difficult to decide
fully upon the credibility of any.

I'm. AlnO. 600. 900 Lonn .

The $3.50, ,OOO,OOO Loan.
II has already been ANNOUNCED that Src-
retary Chase bad effected loan of $780,
OOO, 600 from The New York, Boston, aud
Philadelphia banks. The loan is to be paid
10 three installments. of $4,000, 900 each,
for which the Government issues Exche-
quer Bills or Treasury Notes, bearing IN
ieresi at the rate of 80 100 per cent.
The first nstalment is to be paid rs sOOn as
The Excheqser Bills are prepared the sec
ond Oh the 18th Of October, and the third
on the 18th Of December. The loan is taxi
en- by the banks Of the three cities in pro.
portion 10 their capital, rs follows:
New York Banks. $3.50, 100000.
Boston Banks, ............. l5,O00,O 900.
Philadelphia Banks. ....... 6,OOO,OOO.
Ten per cent. of the amount subscribed
for by each bank is to be paid at once into
the Treasury, and the balance placed TO the
credit of the Government to be drawn for
as required. In part payment of the first
installment, the Government is to receive
any past due or sixty days Treasury Notes
now outstanding, aud for the second and
third installmente, any outstanding Trea-
snry Notes except such rs compose thisloan.
An appeal is to be made to the people to
come forward aud subscr be for the loan,
aud these outside subscriptions are TO form
a part of the several insLallments. Il ap.
pears that the taking Of the second install
ment is conditional OF the banks being able
to negotiate in U satisfactory manner the
first aud 50 of the third. The banks, OT
course. intend to dispose Of the Notes to
their customers, AZ their capital is not suf
fcient to enable them to hold the entire
$3.50. .OOO, 900.
There is plenty Of capital in the Northern
States 10 take up this loan as fast as the
money viii be wanted. and perhaps no ar
rangement eould be effected to supply the
the Government with the snews Of war
that would be less likely to interfere with
the monetary affairs of the country. All
the money used by the Government is re
tanned in the country, aud as it is not
drawn until wanted, it will be kept in Cir
culation. Bnt the success of the scheme
will depend iu great. measure upon the
course of events. A decisive victory over
the rebel army in Virginia would inspire
confidence among capitalists and money in
any amount needed wonld be forthcoming !;
but another defeat of the Federal army,
like that at Bull Run, would cause people
to lnse confidence in the ability of the Gov.
ernment to put down the rebellion. aud se.
riOusly interfere. with the plan adopted for
negotiating the loan.
Al latest advices from New York. sub
scriptions 10 the loan we're coming in raI-
idly averaging in that city 100000 u day,
although the notes had not then been is
sued, It is stated that 81 .OOO.OO of the
loan would be sent to California, the Gov
ernment having received advices from par
ties in San Francisco that that amount
would be taken in this State.

How A SOLDIER FEELS WHEN WOUNEED.
We take the following from the letter of an
Iowa valunteer, who was wounded at the battle
near Springfield:
was standing, OF rather kneeling, behind
little bush, reloading my musket, just before
the rebels engaged in this close work retreated.
Suddenly / fell sharp pain in the shoulder,
and fell to the ground. Jumping up, one of our
boys asked me if | was hurt. l replied that
thought not, drew up my musket to fire, when
he said: ayes, you are shot right through the
shoulder" think it was this remark, more
than the wound, which caused the field, all at
once, to commence whirling around me in n
very strange manner. | started to leave it,
with half ounce musket ball in my shoulder,
and once or twice fell down with dizziness; hut
in short time recovered sufficiently to be able
to walk back to Springfield, nine miles, where
the ball was taken out. was very much pleas
ed to find that the wound was not dangerous
one. In the battle every sensation was drown
ed in excitement. We had no time to think of
being killed, except when standing to be shot
at by cannon, without chance to shoot back.
This, to us, was the most trying part of the
battle. When we had a chance to use our
muskets, every thought and feeling was gone,
except the one thought of shooting down the
rebels as rapidly as possible. Our regiment
certainly did its share Of the work that day.
