threw some shot into the woods and the FIRE
was returned by some new batteries Of Is

any came up;

number Of seine-boats and long.boats con-
cesled in the creeks and inlets between

they are busy building launches, either

Our Army in the Field.
The New York Tribune says

%AN eNNW ANAA @AAha4o
mo statement has come from the War
Department Of the number Of our troops
in the field, and the difficulty Of compiling
such authentic tables without access TO its
official documents has, moreover, hitherto
prevented any one from undertaking the
tasb. The following compilation, nsverthe-
less, is made up from careful perusal Of
all the Messages or documents Of Govern
ors or Adjutant Generals Of States which
have been published during month past,
ss we'll as Rll letters, without exception,
from army correspondents Of all the leading
newspapers, and Of the telegraphio dis
patches to the Associated Press. This
statement, accordingly, Of the number Of
troops now in the field or in camp or bar
racks to be put in the field by tho first Of
November is as nearly correct as anything
unofficial Of the kind can possible be made.
We have omitted from this table the Dis
trict Of COlumbia, Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Michigan, California, Oregon, and the ter
ritories, because we have found nothing
sufficiently authentic respecting them. 1t
will be observed that the sixteen free States
enumerated below will have three hundred
and sixty-tWo thousand troops ready for
the field by the first Of November The
States above named would probably raise
this aggregate above 100000.

ENCOURAGING Facts Regarding tho Nation

Encouraging Facts Regarding tho Nation
al LOnn.
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Times says;
The statement in the Post of Saturday,
that British capitalists had offered to take
one hundred millions of the Government
Loan, is not true. I telegraphed you four
or FIVE weeks since that large portion Of
the loan could be placed in Europe, and
that European capitalists had proposed to
invest in the loan from first hands. One
firm offered to place thirty million dollars,
and another offered twenty million dollars /;
and others offered smaller sums at various
times to the amount Of the original loan
But there has been no aggregate offer Of
the amount named, and no offer within the
past ten days. 1t is understood that much
Of the loan is being taken on foreign ac-
count, and that if Secretary Chase would
appoint agents abroad, he could have guar
antees to double the amount Of the original
loan. Heretofore he has declined to do
anything to obtain money abroad or that
would in any way indicate dependence
upon foreign capitalists. He has preferred
to depend upon the patriotism of the peo-
pie, and the result has proved the wisdom
Of that reliance, for he has already infor-
mstion that the banks will anticipate their
option by giving official notice, before the
close Of this month, Of their intention to
take the last installment Of fifty millioR
dollars.
