From the n. Y. Tribune, Nov. 10th.

/ From the n. Y. Tribune, NOv 10TH
The Secretary Of the Treasury returned Il
Washington this morning. His brief inancia
visit to this city has been crowned with emin
ent success. With Q replete treasury at hi.
command, but with sagacious eye to the fu
ture. he came to New York to negotiate the loan
Tor December. The result is seen in the cheer
ing fact that the Associate Banks of New York
Boston, and Philadelphia meet to-day to receive
the unanimous report of their Committee in ia.
v0r Of taking loan at par of Fifty Millions OF
. per cent United States bonds, having twenty
years to run. in equivalent 6 per cent bonds
The Committee did not finally act upon, but
deferred till January, the option of taking an
additional Fifty Millions of Treasury Notes.
bearing an interest of seven and three-tenths
per cent. But it was generally understood that
they would be taken at that time if needed.
This new loan, like the previous ones, made ne
cessary by the current war for the preservation
OF the Union, was taken with alacrity by the
banks Of our three chief cities.
Thus We see, that the moment when the loyal
heart of the country is made buoyant by the
success of our arms in the West and in the
South, our achievements in inance-thanks to
the skill and liberality of the Secretary, and
the patriotism and generosity OF the banks
are not less important and cheering. With
Fifty Millions absolutely secured for December.
and Fifty Millions made reasonably certain for
January, and with victories ilumining our aap
in all parts Of the field, we may indeed bid the
country be of good cheer
When Gov. Chase assumed the duties of the
Treasury, he found its Golfers empty, our fnan-
cal system in confusion, and our credit sew erely
shaken. Scarcely had he got control of the
seals of Office, ere treason plunged the country
INTO war OF gigantic proportions, which daily
made demands OF immense magnitude upon the
moneyed resources of the Government Not
only bad he to discharge the ordinary duties of
an ofice always onerous, and to expOund and
execute new and complicated tariff, but to de-
wise measures for furnishing the Treasury with
money in sums never dreamed of by the most
lavish of his predecessors. But by dint of rare
sagacity, careful thought, wise forecast and q
capacity for hard work which never flags, he
has already won Q reputation which places him |
second to none of the eminent men who have
administered that important derartmsnt Of the |
Government With all this, however, he could |
not have succeeded except TO. the generous aid |
OF the banks of our principal cities. The coun- |
try owes them q debt Of gratitude for the |
promptness, the courage and the liberality with |
which they have met the crisis. Let them |
rest assured that they run no risk in standing |
by the loyal cause in this exigency. Whatever
else the United States fail to do, they will not
fail to pay their debts to the uttermost farthing
Let us be of good cheer. The Government
us by our fathers will weather the
storm!

The Daily NeWs says: "when We inquire
how the increase arose, We ind the explanation
in the large arrivals from India. From America
there was received in the month of September
only l49.6 cwts, against l79,. .S44 in $50, and
S5l ,626 in 1889; but India supplied US With
aOO.77s cwts, against 36s, 1886 in 1860, and 1885,.
297 in 1859.
The Liverpool Mercury thus speaks of the
prospects of q supply from India:
THE accounts from India are more encour.
aging than those from America. The Indian
public seem to be at length thoroughly reused
to the importance Of the present crisis on the
fortunes OF India - cotton.producing country.
A very great step has been made BY the intro.
ducton Of steamboats on the upper part of the
river Godavery. That great river, With its nu.
merous tributary streams, flows through the
most extensive of al the cotton fields of India
namely, that of Nagpoor and Hyderbad. The
quantity of cotton grown in this district is i'm.
mense, and very little Of it has ever found its
way down the seacoast, owing to the difficulty
of and cost Of transport. Morevsr, the quality il
superior to that of the Surat cotton. and most
equal to medium qualities of American"

Whatever the policy of the federal gov
eminent may be, and whatever Of success
may crown our arms, it is certain that the
general result will be beneficial to all classes
North and South. The ungenerous per-
sonalities that have heretofore characterized
our National Legislature; the ill-adTlsed
discussions that have been flooding the
American press, and the almost unnatural
differences between sections, upon abstract
questions, will receive lesson never to be
forgotten. For many years there has bee
vast amount Of bitter feeling existing
against the Northern part Of our country
Ia feeling eugendered by the reckless de-
nunciations of men who regarded it as
policy to keep the masses in ignorance.
We have been branded as selfish and un-
principled in business--as deceitful and
impudent in association as vulgar and un-
couth in habits whilst our brave men are
represented as towards and plunderers.
Now, that we are upon Southern soil, the
masses can see for themselves whether
til csc things are SO. Thus far our troops

niz ing public, and their department. will
