NkREL FINGnCIEKING.

Tn, rebels, in their inancering, have the pro
digions advantage Of using a specics Of money,
Of which the holders desire nothing no much
Ne 10 be well rid Of it. Borrowing is made
easy under that condition Of tbings. Wha. is
difficult is not borrowing, but loanipg. W.
noticed the other day. that many capitalists 10
New Orleans were Offering loans without In
terest upon mortgages Of city property. What
they offered to loan was Confederate Rotes, and
they would have the chance, by-and- bye, Of
having their loans repaid Ia something better
The New Orleans Crescent, In It's CONNER ca
article for the week eLdirg the 18th ultimo
says:
"The most important financial movement Of
the week has been the favorable result to the
proposals for tho loan of 81 900 900 authorized
by the city council through the Committee OF
Safely. which was promptly taken. One Of our If
insurance companies to, n couple Of score OF
thousands. Nearly three hundred thousand
dollars were taken at u range OF premium from
one tenth per cent. TO one per cent. premium

ployed money enables our principal banks I,
sustain the authorities without incopvsnienc nee

This means that the banks and others receiv
ing nothing from their debtors and customer
but Confederate notes, are very glad to ex
change them for scrip OF the city of New Or

A BATTLE BEFORE YOSKtOWl.
The Rebel Works Unusually Strong
BRILLIANT CONDUCT OF OUR FORCES

The latest reliable accounts show tba, OH
troops advanced on Friday morning in th,
direction OF Yorktown, which Is twenty ioul
miles distant from O,d Point. The right wa,
assigned to Gen. Morrell's brigade, of Gen
Porter's division, two companies OF the Thirt
Pennsylvania cavalry, and portion Of Ber
dams Sharpshooters acting US skirmi.hers
Nothing Of interest took place until their u ri
val at Dig Bethel, twelve miles distant, wher.
they met the outer picksts OF the rebels.
The troops were delayed here two hours in
reconstruc'ing bridge, which had been de
stroyed Ths rebels retreated before the ad
vance Of our sxirmi .hers, TO Howards Greek,
where they had some abandoned sarthwo Of ks.
Four shots were fired here by the rebels, from
two field pieces, which were soou sileLced BY
the Fourth Rhode Island battery, WHEN the
rebels beat hssty retreat, taking the pieces
with them. The main body Of the army here
rested fer tie night, while General Morrell'l
brigade advanced three miles TO Cuckleville
and six miles from Yorktown, and then en-
camprd. BY seven o'clock Oh Saturday morn.
Ing The column was again in motion, and n,
tt n o'clock was in front OF the eprmy's work,
at Yorktown.
The frst shot n'ed was by the rebels--il,
she'll passing Ov,r the heads OF Gen Porter ant
staff, without exploding. The batteries oi Gr,.
fin, Third and Fourth Rhode Island, and Fiji
Massachusetts were now placed In position, re
plying to every shot sent by the rebels. tn,
cannonading continued with but slight inter
miss.on until dark. About four hundred shot
were fired by hotb parties during the day. Th'
loss on cur sIde was three killed and severn
wounded.
The position Of the rebels is q strong one

STEAM FIRE. .ESaINEs.-Those who opposed
the introduction Of steam firs-englnes into this
city on the ground that at some fsture period
we may haze hydrsnts" to answer all the pur
poses, ought to have been silsIced at the out.
set by the fact that these powerful engines are
mostly relied upon In large cities enjoy ing the
fullest facilities in the use OF hydrants. Ex.
perience has shown that hydrants cannot be re,
lied upon to check the progress Of fires, and
yesterdays destructive fire presented q case
in point. No hydrant stream could have been
brought to bear upon the point on the roof at
which Egan's bulldog took fire, while steam
fire engine, stationed Ia the middle Of the Ave
nue., could have thrown q ,od Of water upon
this elevated spot. A good steam FIRE engine
such as those built by Button Il Blake, o.
Waterford, N. T., would have confined thai
fire 10 the tenement 10 which it originated
The Button engines, rs they are called, are the
best in the c untry, and let us have them, Of
s,ne others, before our city Is destroyed By
the devouripg element Away with tenporiz
ing, and let o1r business men and insuranc,
companies look well 10 IT, that the miserably
helpless condition Of our lire department b,
no Longer tolerated for the nero purpose Of ar
argument to be used with Congress to iacili,
tste the introduction Of hydrauts. We wan
the bydrants, but 1t We had eight hydrants L
