Resolved That the New York banks, with assurances

Of their operation, reason justification neces.

tho United States government and Europe reying there
FORE confidently the harmonious action Of the govern

on the patriotism Of tho peoa they will mas'an specie
payments.
The above resolutions are gratifying as far as
they 60. Every one would like to see the banks
continue to pay specie throughout the war. The
clause referring to the drafts Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury is unfortunate. This is probably due
to the haste with which the resolutions were
drafted. Mr.. Chase will. we fear, consult the
public interest first and the convenience of the
New York banks aftcrward. While the meeting
was being held telegraphic messages were rapidly
passing between the meeting and Washington;
what their purport was we did not hear. The
drain of specie from the banks continues. Itis
estimated that over million was either withdrawn
or converted into special deposit +, lay. Some
of the banks refuse to receive special deposits.

exports, exclusive Of specie, at the port of New

General Stone crossed the Potomac this morning with
one portion Of his command at Edwards Ferry and the
other at Harrison's Island.
skEmshng began between the enemy, in uncertain
numbers and part Of General stones command as early
as nine O'Clock in the morning, and continued without
much effect until about fve O'Clock in the afternoon
when large reinorcemcnts Of the enemy appeared upon
our right, which was commanded by Colonel Baker
The Union forces engaged about 800, and were
attacked by force supposed to be 5000 to ,oo0
Al this juncture General Baker fell at the head Of his
brigade while CALAMITY cheering his to the con-
Hict.
Immediately before he fell he despatched Major Young
to General stone to appse him Of the condition OF affairs
and General Stone Immediately proceeded In person to-
wards the right take command but in the confusion
created by fall of Colonel Baker the right wing sus-
tanned n repulse with considerable loss.
General Stone reports that the left wing in good
order He will bold possession Of Harrison Island and
the approaches thereto.
Strong renforcements will be sent forward to General
