frsm lie Seat Of Yankeedom.

A highly intelligent gentleman,
who left New York a few days
since, informs us that the finan-
cial condition of the North is
aurht butencouraging. The-stock
of specie in the banks is rapidly
diminishing, and the mercantile
men say that the people there are l
boarding their money. 1t Is est
mated that thirty millions of dol
lars have thus been secreted.-
The treasury notes put out by the
Lincoln government at over sew,
en- per cent. are rapidly returned
to the banks. 1t is the OPINION
of the best judges that these IN
situations will soon have to sus-
pend all over the North. Trade
IS at a stand-still. A large ma
.iority of the. commercial houses
have already failed, and there Is
hardly a day but some one OF them
topples to the ground.
The voluntary enlistments OF
the army of the North have ceased;
Drafting has already been resorted
to in New Jersey and will here
after be the only mode IN their
power of recruiting their armies.
At present, the vacancies by deaths
and desertions exceed the number
of voluntary enlistments. Con-
scription is now the only resource.
1t is plain enough that an army
thus constituted is not to be de-
pended on.
Our informant thinks the peace
party is gaining ground, although
free speech and freedom OF the
press have been suppressed. 1t
would seem that the influence OF
the Catholic church is hostile to
the war, and these, with the com
mercial classes, make the basis of
a strong peace party. The war
ON the part of the Republicans, is
becoming every day more and
more plainly a war upon slavery,
and the opposition are rallylng up
ON this ground. Such is the sub
stance of the account derived from
a gentleman who left New York
hut q week ago. /

Wao First Invaded Keslueky!

The Hickman tKy.) Courier,
from its location, which is exactly
betwecnT Paducah and Columbus,
the points invaded, commenting on
the neutrality, has the following
paragraph, which is conclusive to
all honorable men that the Fed
erals were the first to invade Ken
tucky and set neutrality at deli
anee:
In this portion of the State we
have seen directly the operations
of both sides, and know that while
the Federalists have invaded our
soil in the county of Ballard
twice, and arrested her citizens
without authority of law, and
condemned them to punishment
without trial, and invaded Colum-
bus and tore down the flag erected
by her citizens as the symbol OF
their political faith-planted bat
teries commanding the town, and
threatened the complete annlhi-
lation not only of Columbus, but
of Hickman and Paducah, tie
.q,uttern authorities haze persistent
IN refused our repeated petitions for
projection on account Of the ne,.-
frality of our State. The neutral
ty is broken now, by the Federals
first, by Kentuckians second, and
by the Confederates lastly.

Tstdmerts for Soldaers.--Eldel
j. r. Graves has succeeded in run.
ming the blockade with a set OF ster-
eotype plates of the New Tesla,
ment, and Messrs. Graves, Marks
& Co., of Nashville, are now issu-
ing 5000 copies per week for the
soldiers in our armies. Elder G.
tried first to get Lincoln's consent
10 the bringing through of 100, 600
Bibles, but the despot declared
them eontraband! Yet, in spite
of Lincoln's attempt to blockade
the Bible out of the South every
soldier in our service will soon be
furnished with a copy OF the Word
of GoD. Elder Graves deserves
much praise for his zeal, energy,
and skill in accomplishing this tor
our cause.

J. f. r. RAY, Sec. of State.

Mr.. Auguste Belmont, an emf
nent banker of New York, and
agent of the Rothschilds, went to
Europe to see if be could not nego-
tiate a loan for King Lincoln. He
has signally failed. The London
Saturday Review says
1--WE need scarcely say that the
attempt to introduce the proposed
Federal loan into the London mar
ket has proved failure. Mr.. A.
Belmont has finally taken his de-
parture, convinced of the hopeless
ness of persuading the English pub
lie to lend themselves to the specA
ulation. 1t is universally felt in
this country, that if the Northern
ers mean to conquer in this un-
happy strife, they must conquer by
their own energies, and their own
The Federal Government
can give no adequate security; and
the English public are well aware
that neither Messrs. Rothschild,
nor any other firm, however emf
nent, can or will give security for
the payment, punctual or unpunc-
tual, of the interest.
