From the N. Y. World, Sept. 10.
The feature of the day has been the demand
for Treasury notes, which summed up to ST.
027,5O0. This is fifty per cent. larger than the
average since the loan was called for, and is a
hopeful sign for the future of the market. With
what is subscribed elsewhere, the supply of mon.
ey to the government by this means must be
largely in excess of its disbursements. With
victory attending our armies, New York city
alone could furnish the Government with all
the means it required.
So far, very few of the demand notes have
been presented for payment in this city, fact
which goes to show public confidence in them
1t is evident that the country would stand
large issue of these notes if done judiciously.

In the present crisis Of our unhappy country,
it is unfortunate that there should be any APP
pearance Of disagreement between the various
departments of the Government. That our just
cause may be made most effective, there should
be perfect union of views and entire unity of
action among those who are called to the tenn
porary control of affairs, civil or military. The
differences that have arisen upon the bold step
taken by Gen. Fremont in Missouri, we trust
will be of short duration and of no serious mo,
ment.
