ness, except such as pertains to the equipment Of
military companies, is rapidly disappearing.
Hundreds are out Of employment, with no pros
pect Of work during the war. Manufacturing is
the basis Of every kind Of business in Rhode
Island Like the huge wheel which constitutes
the motive power Of so many of her cotton facto-
ries, 1t runs the machinery Of trade, affecting
business does moisture the barometer. Our
mills are lying idle, or running half time, the
period Of activity Of all regulated by the amount
OF cotton on hand, and the LIST Of January will be
the Rubicon with most Of them. The recent
furry has reduced eur market very much
The blanks for the State bonds have been re-
ceived, and the bonds will probably be issued in
afew days. The act authorizes the issue Of five
hundred thousand dollars, redeemable In ten
years, bearing interest at six per cent per annum
payable semi-annually in this city The bonds
are surmounted by vignette Of the Governor,
surrounded with the paraphernalia Of war. They
Will be issued In sums Of Ave hundred and one
thousand dollars They are signed by the Secre-
tary of State and General Treasurer, and Endorsed
on the back by the act of the Assembly
Enlistments are progressing very rapidly Two
companies Of cavalry went into camp to- day, and
II Is rumored that they will form the nucleus of a
regiment. The Rhode Island Fourth Is now full,
numbering some nine hundred men, and will
leave Tomorrow via Elirabethport for w ashing-
ton Yesterday they made public parade, and
the accuracy Of their evolutions in the field
ELECTED the highest praise from the military gen.
temen present. They have been put under thor
ough discipline by Col. McCarty without the aid
OF field officer, and with only half the number
OF commissioned officers. The sixth battery will
also leave with the regiment. Although the
" powers that be" have declared in the hearing OF
your correspondent, that there would be no more
iEfantry raised In Rhode Island at present, you
need not be surprised to hear Of the departure of
NTH regiment at no distant day. MARrEs.
