asked dozen times how much did Mr. Buckner,
of the house of Stanton, Backner & Newman take;
how much did the firm subscribe for. We are in
formed not dollar. If in an error, we should like
to be corrected, but we did not observe their
Names Then, again, how much did the firm of
Washington Jackson l. Co., another firm depend
ing on Mississippi planters There are other parties
connected with the cotton factoraee, who have not
met the crisis faithfully. On the other hand there
is another class of capitalists and holders of money
who are charged as being recreant. We are asked
how much Mr.. John D. Marsh subscribe. Mr.. Marsh
is a director in the Bank of Louisiana; that bank
snbscribes 900, but was Mr.. Marsh present at
the meeting when the resolution passed on Monday
last? However, this matter Of triflDg import
ance, as if director of bank sanctions sub
scrption it does not exonerate him from subscrib-
ing privately. We have strong case in point: it
springs up nobly and periodically; nor do we deny
that it should be regarded in the same light with
some bank directors Let us be explicit and refer
direct to facts. The Louisiana State Bank appro-
priated s250,900, l2a per cent eighth of its
capital John r. Shaw stakeholder of the bank
to the amount of $l00, 600, advocates the subserp
ton and calls his stock as security to the market
value, say $12 500. Individually Mr.. Shaw has sub
scribed ,000 the house of Benost, Shaw & Co.
take $40 OOO-total, $40 500. Benoist, Shaw & Co.'s
business is not cotton sugar, nor do we contrast
these subscriptions with some of the cotton factors.
We have to allude to another strong instance of
a want of patriotic feeling to the cause though the
result was no more than could have been expected
from the general avarice and shaving proclivitiea
of the person in question-on the point of needle
forty nine souls of the individual alluded to could
dance, and there would be room for the fiftieth.
planter residing in Lake Washington, Miss,
elated some of his friends and acquaintance by
saying that he intended to take 100000. This was
not credited then he reduced his views to 100000,
but still some parties gave credence to his in
tent, and finally he did not take dime, so far as
| we can learn. Now this individual will undoubtedly

For the corresponding week in APRIL 1859, the

1t will be observed that in the detailed workings
of the banks there is very little deviation.
The war feeling, North and South, has played
the deuce here and there with the exchange mar
ket. From Monday last the rates have been tend
ing downward, so that the bottom for some grades
has entirely fallen out vanshed in fact it appears
to be bottomless just at this moment. We have
noticed from day to day the banks that have large
balances Though there are only two banks, the
Canal and State, that have large sums in New
York, the others having large amounts in Europe
where they are rather safer) were willing to sell
large sums within the range of discount down to
1 discount. The counter rate was steady at par.
Outside there were sales at per cent. dis. down
to II dis, and three days sight at Il per cent. dis.
Say days sight nominal; no sales Sterling
ceded to 100, 1O2, l03, and few small sums at
fraction over. No demand, no movement in docu-
ments. Francs outgoing down; quoted at $50
! Bank shares and bonds dull, Of course, and ex-
| pected to be dull for some time to come.
There was good congregation at the Merchants
Exchange to-day. Several parcels of real estate
were put up, but not to be sold at sacrifice. At
meridian o large crowd was in attendance, and
from the numerous stands being well crowded,
, it did not appear dull times were prevailing.

Increase for the week Fl, 500
We have very little to say about the cotton mar
ket this evening, or on the movements for the
week. The sales have been about II 600 bales
only--about one,seventh of the quantity supposed
to be on sale. The sales for the corresponding
week last year 10 900 bales, and 1900 bales
for the same week in 1860 The receipts this week
reach 0500 bales against a. 700 bales for the same
week last year. We have no advices from Mobile
this evening. Our Postmaster might at least keep
the mail regular between the two cities, as the
boats come in and depart daily with the regularity
which has attended their movements for months
past.
During the week we have received adyiGes from
Europe up to the 10th inst, brought by the North
Briton at Portland and Kedar at Halifax. We
cannot conclude that the state of the Liverpool
market warrants any happy results to many thou
sands of bales of cotton on the way thither. A
favorable reaction will in al probability be pro-

The Victory Yesterday.

Saws the n. O. Bee in reference
to the victory at Manassas. "ln the
telegraphic column this morning will
be found the brief announcement
that a terrible battle was fought yes
sterday at Manassas, in which Gen.
McDowell's army was signally de
feated after fifteen hours of hard
fighting, with terrible slaughter on
both sides.
Besides this report to the press, we
have important particulars which
reached this city in private dispatch
es. Gen. Mcdowell is said to have
been mortally wounded. Gen. Johns
ton effected a junction of his column
with that Of Beauregard during the
dav, and both of our commanders
distinguished themselves by their
personal daring on the field at the
head of our gallant volunteers.
| Gen. Beauregard placed himself
at the head of Col. Wade Hampton's
legion and led them on against the
foe, having his horse Shot under
him. Gen. johnson, seeing one of
his regiments wavering under a gal
liant fire, rushed forward, and seiz-
ing their colors from the ensign, raj
lied the men and led them forward in
person. Neither Of these heroic men
were wounded. The Confederate re.
, giments made desperate charges
and the men fought like tigers.
8 The wounding Of Gen. Mcdowell
| is said not to have disconnected tht
f enemy in the least, but they Tough
on until dark, some Of their regiments
being actually driven like sheer
into the slaughter. When they re
treated at nightfall, the Confederate

cavalry swept down upon their flying
columns, and must have made great
havoc among the jaded and dishear-
tened troops. The cavalry were
still following them up at the last :c-
nine O'Clock last night.
This news was not unexpected IN
New Orleans. Indeed. Sunday was
anxiously looked forward to as the
probably day of contest between the
two principal columns of the Con
federates and Federa!s. This gave
rise to rumored victory which cir
culated on the streets before the
telegraph office opened in the even
ing. When the news came at night
in the reliable form, althoug h Sab
bath, hundreds were waiting on St'
Charles street to hear of it. The IN
telligence created a deep impression,
but there was no noisy outburst OF
10Y, for every one had relative OF
dear friend who may have been one
of the offerings necessarily given up
on the altar of victory. The list o
killed and wounded will prove
heavy one, but it is idle to siv'
eredence to reported numbers. l

Many confused statements are pre-

a degree which casts gloom over the
remnant of the army. and cxcites the
deepest melancholy throughout Wash

The carnage was tremendously
heavy on both sides. and on ours it Is
Represented as frightiul.
We were advancing, taking masked
batteries, and gradually, but surely
driving the enemy towards Manassas
when the enemy seemed to be reintorc-
ed by Gen. Johnston. We We're i'm.
