New York. Dec. &c


AT conference of our city banks on
Saturday evening, by unanimous vote,
they resolved upon an immediate suspen-
sion of specie payment, the heavy drafts
on their coin caused by their large adyan-
ces to the Government, rendering this step
in their judgment necessary. Wepresume
it will be quite generally followed in the
large cities.
The manner in which Mason and Slijell
are to be delivered up has been left to
Lord Lyons, who will, doubtless, have it
done in the manner least offensive to this
government. They will probably be put
on board the steamer America. which sails
from New York next Wednesday, and
which will, it is understood, be required to
stop at Boston to take the rebel commits
sioners on board.

The New Orleans Delta of the 18th inst
has the following in regard TO movements
against that city:
Certainly, the enemy's presence has not
been without meaning. It is probable that
he meditates simultaneous attack upon
Fort Jackson aud Phillip and Fort Pike, and
will attempt to reduce at the same time our
river and lake defences. The reasons why
he should hasten to attack are obvious. if
he means to attack. Warm weather is rap
idly approaching. anc the deadly pestilence
will soon commit more rsvages in his expe-
ditions than dozen battles would. He must
strike early. or his arm will be paraIyzed.
The Mobile advertiser of April 9th says
of our Gulf feet:
They now directly menace New Orleans
with attack. The newspapers latest receiv-
ed from that city have certain intelligence
that between thirty aud forty Yankee men
ofwar are in the Mississippi river, below
the city, and of course below its defensive
works. Besides this formidable fotilla in
the river, majestic feet rides under the lee
of Ships Island. These vast preparations
have not been perfected to remain unem-
pioyed, and We may rest assured that the
blow, strong aud heavy. will be soon struck.

A Part of QuantreI's Band Taken.

We are indebted to Maj. Banzhaf, of the
First Misso uri Cavalry, who by his indie
fatigabie exertions to exterminate tie band
of guerilas 10 this county, and the ability
displayed by him as a commanding officer,
is highly esteemed by our citizens. for the
following particulars of the attack upon
Quantrel and his party on the night of the
18th !:
Lieut.. Col. E. B. Brown, commanding
forces at Independence, having received re-
liable information of the whereabouts OF
Quantrel, ordered Lieut. Nash with thirty
men of the First Missouri Cavalry TO moe
to Raytown at midnight on the 18th inst,
and be governed in his action by the infor-
nation he there received from his scout
who had been sent out. The night was
dark and heavy thunder storm ragged un-
til four O'Clock A. M, effeciually concealiDg
the command. At daylight it reached a
small old log house two miles from any
travelled road, and about twelve miles from
Independence, in the direction Of Little San
ia Fe. where Quantrel and his party were
housed. They were completely surprised,
and Lieut.. Nash charged on them, as they
were flying to the brush about twenty rods
from the house, killing four, wounding four,
and capturing FIVE prisoners, sll the horses
and accoutrements, most OF their arms and
of Quantrel's men running
off barefoot and coatless.
Lieut.. Nash deserves great credit for the
success of this enterprise. The night was
the darkest and most stormy one ever wit

were necessarily attended with great diff

The Battle at PITT burg.

Several gentlemen connected with the
army at Pittsburg arrived IN this city on
Monday morning. Among them Captain
Newsham, of Gen. Smiths staff, and Cap
tain 1sgow, of Gen. Grants staff. The
latter gentleman is bearer of Gen. Grants
official report of the great battle and victo-
ry of the Federal forces at Pittsburg. They
left the army Friday night. General Hal
leck arrived at Pittsbarg. Friday evening.
and Immediately assumed command of the
Army of the Mississippi.
The number Of killed in the Federal ar
my was l 800; of wounded. 3,4UO. On
the side of the rebels, the killed amounted
to $500, and the wounded to 5000. So
great was the haste of the retreat on Monday
that the rebels left their killed and wounded
on the field In ambulances, detachiHg the
Besuregard sent letter to General Grant,
asking the privilege of visiting the battle
field. to bury his dead. Gen. Grant declin-
ed the request. saying that the object of it
had already been attended to By his army.
It is settled that Col. Peabody and Lieut..
Col. St. James were killed. Lieut.. Col.
Phillips. of the Ninth Illinois, was badly
wounded. 1t was between this regiment
nd the 22d Mississippi that the great and
absorbing contest took place. But the Illi-
noissns were victorious. OF the Mississip-
pi regiment, only 81 left the field. The
Ninth suffered loss of 368, killed aud
wounded, among whom were 10 officers.
Col. Bowen. formerly of this city, was
wounded while in command of rebel reg
iment, though it is said not seriously.
Nothing is known of the other St.-Louisans
in his command.
Gen. Hindman in command of an Arkan-
sas regiment, had the calf of his leg shot
off, and the same shell, fired from the gun
boats, killed and wounded AZ others.
Lieutenant Fletcher, of an Arkansas reg
iment, of st. Louis, is among the prisoners
brought to this city.
The rebel army has its outposts at the
foot of Pea Ridge, extending eight miles
from Corinth; and the advance of the Fed
eral troops is eight miles from Pittsburg,
leaving space of only two miles between
the opposing forces. A battle may be
brought on at any moment, and we have the
strongest assurance that our army is ready
for the encounter. They will not be long
in forcing fight.-&. Louis Republican.
