THE SECOND FIFTY MILLIONS OF loan
Some apprehension was felt week since that
the adjustment cf the second loan Of fifty
millions would not be so easy as was supposed,
the banks having been depleted Of specie
considerably already. and thirteen millions of
the first Gfty not yet being called in. The
result has, however. been as complete assuccess
as could be desired. Exchange has fallen one
to two aud a half per cent under the rapid de-
mand for wheat and -four for both France and
England; and with the position Of things now
existing. the importance of specie is likely
again to be large. The military position at
Washington also being favorable, circumstan-
ces were found to support the Secretary's ap-
plication very strongly, and at the meeting Of
bankers in New York, on Saturday, the second
fifty millions were definitely put at the service
Of the government. = Philadelphia North

EXPRESS STEAMER.--A small stern-wheel
steamer, built at Adamsville, on the Tuolumne
river, about three miles above Tuolumne city,
made her appearance in our waters q few days
since. She is intended to ply as an Express
boat between this city and the landings on the
upper San Joaquin, the residents along the
river having extended sufficient encouragement
to her builders to induce them to embark in
the enterprise. She is forty-six feet in length,
having ten feet beam, and is provided with
nhorse power engine, built at the Globe
foundry. When loaded, her capacity for
freight being about twenty-five tons, she will
draw but twelve inches of water, and will thus
be enabled to cross the shallow places in the
river with ease at the lowest stages of the
water. She was built at a cost of $2,500, by
Jones & Ward, farmers on the Tuolumne, who
have taken this means of q" filling in their leis-
ure time during the past season. She will be
christened the 76"- Stockton Independent.

PENNsrLvANIA LEGIsLArURE.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May There is Sc
rious disposition on the part of some members
of the legislature to restrain the enactment of
full exercise of the governors military pre-
rogative, and any such bill will be vetoed.
Mr.. Williams of Allegheny has proposed a
preamble and resolutions in the house, relative
to the Baltimore riot The preamble recites
that Massachusetts aud Pennsylvania volun-
teers were brutally murdered, and declares the
right of the federal troops to pass peaceably
over any portion of the United States soil.
The slaughter of the troops, whether done
under the authority of the state, or by private
persons, is treason, as much as levying armies
under the authority of open secession.
1t calls upon the federal government to de-
mand the surrender for condign punishment
of the persons engaged in the massacre, pro-
nounces high eulogy upon the martyred dead,
and SAYS that the refusal of the border slave
states TO contribute tieir quota of troops to
the federal government, or their assuming a
state of neutraity,is is a remuneration OF their
allegiance, and the duty of the federal govern
ment is to reduce the revoited citizens to un-
conditional submission, and that no compro-
mise ought to be or can be made.
