MONETARY AND OOMlIERCIAL!
Financial AdaIrs.

The general observance Of the day--being
set apart by the National Executive as one Of
Tasting and prsyer'-leaves us without any
transactions to note in Money matters.
The following is from the st. Louis Demo.
cTdt Of Wednesday:
"There was q slight hutter in the Money
market to day in consequence of the refusal
Of some of the institutions to receive the
notes of the Farmers Bank of Lexington.
The Coin and notes of this Bank were put
into the hands of Colonel Mulligan for safe
keeping by the Bank Directory. But, of
course, when Colonel Mulligan surrendered,
the money fell into the hands of the rebels.
How far this will affect the outstanding
of that Bank we can not say, since Bank
notes have, somehow, got fashion of cir
eulatipg without credit or coin to back them.
Exchange for ordinarily good Bankable
Funds was sold at per cent. premium and
Gold at g. The demand for either was not
large, and the supply good" A F..

The New York EOening Post of Tuesday
says of the Money Market and Treasury
notes:
1.-THE Money market is becoming very
| quiet again. Rates on Paper are yielding,
say 4 per cent lower than last week. Prime
| Bills are wanted at 6@6% per cent. Call
Loans are quoted SOC per cent, principally
at the inside figure.
Exchange on London is closing very dull
for the steamer tomorrow, at l08180lO8s4,
the latter at an extreme rate.
"The sales of 73O Treasury. notes continue
| brisk, and that is every indication of largely
increased demand as soon as it becomes gem
orally known that the notes can be had as
fast as wanted. Any body, upon the deposit
| of their gold at the Sub-Treasury, can at
once be supplied with the notes, thus doing
away entirely with the circumlocution hith-
erto necessary. This arrangement greatly
relieves the Assistant-Treasurer, whose du-
ties, aside from the signing of certificates
are very onerous.
Government Stocks continue to show
! great frmness. All the Bonds, Including
the old Skies and FivR are higher and in
strong demand. The Skies of 1881 are
sparingly offered at 90A@9lI. The Skies
falling due next year bring 9515. Six per
cent. Treasury-notes are an exception, being
| n per cent. lower. Several lots from sellers
of vessels to the Government have come on
! the market" t ..

AWesIern NntIonnI Armory.

Cincinnati should have embarked her capi-
tai of skill and money in the manufacture of
arms at this point. Instead of sending
money away, it should have been invested
here. The machine-shops and foundries of
Cincinnati were capable of initiating great
armory for the West. ..
Chicago is bidding for influence to have
Congress, at the next session, to establish
one in that city. One of their members of
Congress has submitted the following sug.
gestions to the Council of that city, on which
a committee was appointed. What action
will Cincinnati take2
There are reasons why this armory should
be located in the great Northwest. On the
23d of July select committee of Congress
was appointed to inquire into the expediency
of locating such an armory at Chicago. My
reasons why it should be located here are
First, the entire security of the position ;
secondly, facilities for transportation of ma
terials, by lake, river and canal; third, the
supply of materials of all kinds; fourth, the
iron of Lake Superior is of the greatest ten
scity, and most suitable for the manufacture
of steel; fifth, the abundance of maple and
| other hard timber sixth, Chicago is the
oranary and provision. store of the North.

Significant Southern Confessions - The
Weakness of the South Exposed by One
of Its Leading Organs,
[From the Charleston Mercury, Sept lo.l
WHAT THE CONGRESS HAS DONE, AND WHAT 1T
HAS FAILED TO DO.
We propose to discuss, briefly, what the
late Congress has done, and what it has failed
to do.
In the first place, Congress has voted an
army of near half million of men, and a
fabulous amount of money to support them.
One only objection TO this legislation is that
it is in imitation of the bullying on the other
eide of the Potomac. The Congress of the
United States voted four hundred thousand
men. We brag over them. We get to near
half million and when we come to money,
they are not circumstance to US. This is a
| sounding patriotism not in the very best
taste. We should have legislated without
regard to the pretensious bullying of Mr..
Lincoln's Congress, and have simply voted
| in the field the force we thought adequate to
the military exigencies of the Confederate
| States.
We have no idea that the half million Of
men the Congress has authorized will ever
be raised, or the means for their support ever
be required. We find it difficult to put an
army of eighty thousand men together in
Virginia, and eighty thousand men are
enough, for any military use we can put them
to. Theirs says there was but one man in
Europe who could WELD one hundred thous-
and men in the field, and that man was Napo-
leon. We may have crop of Napoleons
| coming on to maturity, but at present they
| have not appeared. No General on either
! side in our war with the United States has
vet appeared who has proved himself able
efficiently to handle thirty thousand men in
the field.
Troops that you can not fight are elements
of weakness They consume and compli.
cate and enbarrass-help to disorganize, and
may spread panics. So we are OF opinion
that if we had been little more moderate
in our army and financial demonstrations we
would have been a little more esteemed
We admire unpretentious governments, a;
we do uppretentious measures. Simplicity
is positive virtue. Yet we will not quarre
with the fred imagination, which will beat
the enemy, even in figures. Full numbers ar
certainly very desirable.
APPROPRIATIONS have also been made TO in
crease our navy. This is department Whicl
has been greatly neglected, According 7
the Constitution, no appropriations can b
voted by Congress unless previously recon
mended by the Executive. Little or nothin
has heretofore been recommended by th
Executive for the defense of our coast. Ye

Reply to Hon. J. C. Breckenridge.


1t is notorious that Secession is most per-
sistently urged by the women of the South.
The Baltimore Clipper, however, gives the
argument of Miss Ann Ella Carroll, Union
lady of that city, prefacing twith the follow
ing remarks:
We have received copy of a pamphlet by
Ann Ella Carroll, of Maryland, replying to
the speech of the Hon. Mr.. Breckinridge, in
the Senate of the United States, which we
can most cordially commend to our readers
as the most thorough and perfect demolition
of the Hon. Senator, and the most perfect de-
fense of the Government against the attacks
made on it by him and others.
Miss Carrolps name is familiar TO our read
| ers. They must all remember her former
success as political writer, and we feel that
with US, they will be glad to welcome her
again in the field, and to find that the infu-
ence of her great historic name and brilliant
abilities will be given to the cause of law and
order.
We can not forbear giving the following
extract from her pamphlet:
"In the progress of events the rebellion may
assume such formidable proportions as to
override both the judicial and Legislative
| powers, leaving the military as the only
visible power in the land. Ii would then be
| the clear duty of the President, as Com
mander-in-chief to maintain the military
authority over every foot of territory of the
United States until the judicial and legisla-
] tive power can be restored. In such an eX-
| igency it may be his duty to call several
| millions of men into the service. 1t may be-
necessary to arrest traitorous Senators and
members of Congress, Judges of Courts, &C.,
who are in completely with the rebellion,
and treat them as public enemies. Instead
of suppressing one press, he may extend 1t
to all presses engaged in exciting and stimu-
lating the treason. Instead OF arresting 9
few traitors, he may arrest all traitors, aud
deprive them of the means OF warning on the
Government. rs.-
"This Government relies on individual
duty and obligation. 1t has the power to
tax individuals in any mode and to any ex'
tent to maintain it; and to call out citizens
as individuals, for military service to defend
it.
ain this supreme struggle for its existence
men Of all sections ehould adhere to it. They
should not only sustain it, but if necessary
meet death to preserve it until the roar o
the final FIRE, and the judgment of the quicl
and dead.
"Better that Washington had perishe'
like Hampden. That Jefferson had neve
drafted the Declaration of Independence
That Lee, Hancock, Adams, Franklin, SheI
man, Livingston, &C., had died like Sidne
and Russell upon the block, than that thi
Union, created to be the daylight to brea
J the night of ages, should finally collapse, an
traitors be permitted TO write the epitaph, I
; lived and died."

NATIONAL FAST Day General Observance
Throughout the Cty-Business Suspended
and Meetings Held,--We noticed this morn
ing that majority of the prominent busi-
ness-houses in the city were closed; quiet
almost equal to that usually witnessed on
Sundays prevailed. The people, considering
the rather unpleasant state of the weather,
attended the services in the various churches
of the city in good numbers, and the ex-
ercises were conducted with a special refer
ence to the national calamity, which called
forth the proclamation of the President.
The outside entrances of the City Build
ing were closed this morning so that no one
| was permitted to enter the various city Off
| ces, and the Police Court adjourned until to-
morrow morning, all the cases on the docket
| being postponed. The various county Off
GERS also suspended business and the people
| that usually frequent the Courthouse found
| less public retreat elsewhere.
The Business Mems Prayer meeting this
morning, held in st. Paul's Church, on
Fourth. street, was well attended, the pews
| being mostly filed. Mr.. George f. Davis
| officiated as leader, and remarks were made
by Rev. M. L. P. Thompson, and other clergy
