Demand Treasur,-notes.

We notice that quite large proportion of
the circulating medium hereabout is made up
of United States Demand-notes. They are
handled with great confidence BY bankers,
merchants, farmers and traders generally
And why should they not be? They will
pay taxes, and are receivable in the post
offices, and in all other Government offices
the same as gold. If farmer wants to buy
Government land he can do so with these
notes, and save the premium of one-half or
one per cent. he would have otherwise to
pay. They are redeemable at the Sub,
treasures of the United States in gold, on
presentation, and must remain good.

NHeRo TRooPs.-The Detroit Free Prsss
says It was reported by telegraph day or
two since that Secretary Cameron, in his
forthcoming report to Congress- would dis
tinctly ayow bis policy Of placing arms in
the hands Of the Southern slaves willing to
use them for the cause of the Union. II,
with all the power that is now at the com
mand OF the Secretary of War, he can not
suppress the rebellion without calling upon
the, slaves TO help him, we think he had bet
ter resign at once. We are alike opposed to
the Government making "nigger .cstchers'
of our soldiers, or employing "niRgers" to
fight our battles. IT. with six hundred thou
sand well disciplined and fully equipped
troops, Secretary Cameron can not put down
the rebellion, supported by an army in all
respects inferior, then, in Gods name, and
for the honor of the Anglo Saxon race, let
us put aside our swords aud propose terms
of peace. Let it not be understood through
out the world that it is necessary for the
United States Army to call to its aid the
Southern "niggersr to save this Union. But
we can not believe that Secretary Cameron,
or any other Secretary under President Lin
coin, will distinctly avow" or favor any
such policy in their reports to Congress.

The Stone Fleet.

Nothing definite has as yet been heard
from the famous stone feet which left for
Southern ports few days since. Consider
able importance has been attached to the
movements of this feet, and its destination
speculated upon to great extent 1t is
thought by some that the result of its move
ments will be to revolutionize the entire
commerce of the South. Those cities such
as Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and New
Orleans, which have heretofore done up the
trade Of the South, it is thought, will be cut
off from the ocean. and will be as inaccessi-
bic to ships as the Rocky Mountains. These
old cities being walled in, new cities must
and will arise to fill their places. These new
cities will be filed with Northern energy
and Northern capital, and will grow in size
and population in a manner to remind one o.
the go-ahead habits of Chicago. These new
ports will lead to sudden fortunes and vast
speculation in corner lots. Property now
worth twenty-five dollars an acre will soon
be worth one hundred dollars foot. Spec
ulation will lead to speculation. The feve
will spread until we expect to see real estat,
sell for as much per lot near Beaufort as il

LOYAL SENTIMENTS IN VIRGINIA.-From
trustw orthy sources intelligence has been re.
ceived of the increasing strength of the loyal
sentiment in Frederick, Jefferson and Butk-
ley counties, in Virginia. On Tuesday lady
arrived at Hancock, from Martinsburg with
her children. Her husband, a loyalist had
fled to Maryland four months ago, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that she was able
to get permission to pass the rebel lines to
Maryland. She states that in Burkley County
the greatest suffering exists among the fami-
lies of Union men who are now tugitives.
During the last fortnight she states that the
expression of Union sentiments had been
growing stronger, and that on the occasion
of the approach of Capt. Sumo, with a scout
ing party of $50 cavalry, to within five miles
of Martinsburg, the joy of the loyal fami
lies was unbounded, on the suppostion tina
it was the beginning Of an advance by our
troops; hut that when the party returned
they were in despair. As a sample of thu
prices of provisions, she states that salt wa

IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.
An Anticipation of the Arrest of slidell and
Mason-What the British Government

[From Our Special Correspondent
LONDON, Saturday, November 16,

LONDON, Saturday, November To- 1861.
A curious paragraph appeared iu some Of

to the effect that one of Her Msjesty's ffiga'es
which had left Spithead to watch the move

on to state that the object of the Adger was sup
posed TO bo 10 intercept the Esst India mail

What Our Army has Done in the South.

What Our Army has Done In the South.
The New York Times thus sums up the re-
suit SO far of the Beaufort and Port Royal ex-
peditiOn:
"Thus far our Southern army has occupied
neither Beaufort nor Coosewhatchie, which
commands the Charleston and Savannah Rail-
road. General Sherman has contented him
self with foItifyiDg Hilton Head Island SO
thoroughly as to render our position there i'm
pregnable. We shall soon send him down
large reinforcements under charge of Generals
Burnside and Butler. Meanwhile the issue (as
the doctors say) which We have opened in the
side of diseased and oancerous South Carolina
does we'll. The blacks around Beaufort con-
tinue to flock into our lines. There needs no
suggestion what to do with them. The un-
picked cotton is to be gathered now by the
same hands, though those hands hold quite
a new relation TO the cotton and to mankind.
The Iigature that bound them to their rebel
lious masters is forever severed; andit will be
a splendid piece of poetic justice to hear that
the king on whom they relied to work out theiI
nefariOus designs is not only helpless to aid
them, but is chained captive to the triumphant
chariot Of the advancing and conquerinl

MEXICO AND THE MONROE DooTRINE.-The
London Morning Post Lord Pa,merston's
own newspaper, entirely reDudiates the Mon
roe doctrine, on the ground that Eugland,
holding large possessions in North America,
has as much to do with the balance of power
on this continent as the United States them
selves. 1t adds that mo foreign power, in
all probability, has the slightest desire to
hold permanently foot of Mexican soil, or
10 invade the United States, either from the
lakes or the Atlantic" We are expected to
be very grateful, perhaps, for this probable
moderation,

AN ACTRESS MADE TO SHOW HER CoLoRs.-
Maggie Mitchell is now playing at Pittsburg.
On Monday night Captain or Lieutenant
Braun visited the theater, and raised dis.
turbance by accusing gentleman present Of
having been a manager of Southern thea
ter. He was also excessively angry over the
statement that the actress had sung the
Southern "Marseillaise" during a recent
visit to Secessia, and presented or received a
rebel flag. Braun was finally put out of the
house, bu. returned and demanded an expls-
nation. The Dispatch describes the scene
which followed:
When the curtain fell, the chivalric Cap
tain or Lieutenant was boisterous in his calls
for Miss Mitchell who at length appeared
before the curtain, escorted by Manager Hem
derson. Our hero demanded an explanation,
whereupon the Manager stated briefly that
the lady was toQmuch agitated to speak, but
that he was authorized by her to state that
she had never trampled upon the American
flag. This denial of charge never publicly
made against the lady, mollifed Captain OF
Lieutenant Braun, and he testified his satis-
faction in an emphatic manner.
