The taking of portion of the Govern
ment loan by the Bankers in New York,
Boston, and Philadelphia, has had favora-
BILE effect on public securities, and impaired
more confidence, still it cannot be denied,
that the real or apparent ineficiency display
ed in the management and prosecution of
the war, has general depressing effect, and
until more energy is manifested, the whole
people of the loyal States will feel discour-
aged; but, on the other hand, energy on the
part of our public officers, and success on
the part of the army, would at once restore
confidence. The late battle in Missouri, in
which some four or FIVE thousand of our
troops had to fight four times this number
of insurgents, in which the losses were
large, including one of the most efficient
and popular of our Generals-the lamented
Lyon-has been source of great discour-
agement, Notwithstanding the bravery dis
played by the United States forces. At the
close of the week, it was evident that an at
| tack on Washington was expected. If this
should take place, it is hoped that our for
ces are prepared to meet it, and that the re-
resalt will be a thorough defeat of the rebel
army, and this win at once restore conf
dence in the financial and commercial af-
fairs of the loyal States.
