TIE ENROLMENT OF FREE ExGRoKs IN RkBELDoM.
In the Virginia House OF Delegates on the Atm instant
the subject Of enrolling free negroes for the rebel army
the following debate took place We copy tho oiclai
report Of the proceedings from the Richmond Er-
a,ainer.-
The bill amending the Convention act for the enrol
men offree negroes was motion OF Mr. PRINCE taken
up Among the amendments in this bill Mr. Prince
called attention to the allowing ten cents for each
negro enrolled To the Sheriff officer so enrolling
them He proposed to strike out this amendment ana
insert lieu Of the proposed compensation that II the
law they be subjected 10 penalty OF not less than nty
nor than hundred dollars. AS those oftcers
exempt from military duty, he ssid it was about
little they could do 10 perform the service Of en-
rolling the free negroes OF their respective counties as
part OF their official duties. His amendment was
adopted.
Mr. RIvEs proposed that the amendment in the bill re-
specng the Of the enlistment Of negroes be amend
cd TO make the ninety days. instead OF hundred
and eighty His for this was the iact that the
families OF many Of the free negroes enlisted having
other Of support would as had beon the case
in his county suffer very much from want
Mr.. PRINCE agreed 10 compromise with the gentleman
on one hundred and twenty days.
Mr. ANDERSON of Botetourt, hoped that the amendment
would pass One hundred and eighty days were only
six months and il white could be drafted for two
years. he reason why FREQ negroes should % on
titled to such charitable discrimination.
Mr. RvEs replied that he mado the proposition from no
particular friendship to free nogross II were in hss
pousr, he oould them all into soves tomorrow
But was simply call the attention Of the House 70 the
fact that In his own county many severe cases Oh suHe
ing had occurred among the families OF free negroes from
this cause ho thought that possibly some
might be brought about by tho amendment proposed
The amendment was rejected, and the DIN was snen
ordered TO It's sngrcssment. .r

temporary loan he was offered $500 ,oo0-ft q con-
fdently anticipated that. before another week
elapses. the deposits will amount to four or fvs
millions Whenever any bank or banker dnds his
supply of notes accommodating beyond his wants Tor
circulating purposes he will now take ILLS surplus
to the Sub-Treasury and make it earn five Ser cent
per annum. rt.r,.
This new Sub Treasury regulation is destined to
exercise marked influence on the money market.
week ago it appeared that money was
destined to fall in value here. 1t u
known that in London, call loans are
not worth over lH per cent per an
mum. 1t was reasonable to suppose that similar
plethora of money would sooner or later begin to
be felt here, especially as the supply of currency
was about to be increased by large issues of 60
vernnent paper. But the appearance in the money
market of the government as borrower on call at
fixed rate of five per cent will operate efsctually
to maintain the price of money. The wants OF the
Treasury are sufficient to absorb all the floating
capital in the country, and borrowers on stocks
and mercantile paper will find Mr.. Cisco formi
dabe competitor. In the opinion of leading
money dealers it il hardly likely, so long as the
Sub Treasury pays FIVE per cent for temporary
loans that the rate in open market will rule below
to buy paper at or below five per cent. when they
can obtain hve for the temporary loan Of their
funds to government. At present call loans are
quoted per cent, and first class paper at the
same rate; long paper and names not generally
known pass current at various rates--from seven
upwards. The market is bare of paper in com.
parison with past times; but the brokers report
that there was rather an increase Of notes on the
market last week. .A
Foreign exchange rose yesterday to 1l4H lis
for sterling bills, and 4.92H 97% for francs
bankers bills in both instances The advance is
due partly to the recent increase of importations.
coupled with a decline in our exports Of produce;
partly to apprehensions arising from the passage
through the House of the Treasury Note bill, and
partly to speculations among the operators in ex-
change. OF these three causes the first is the only
one that is substantial, and glance at the above
tables shows that its operation can be but tenn
porary. Our exports of produce. merchandise and
specie are in excess of our aggregate imports not
withstanding the recent increase in the latter. As
to the fears which are entertained among our
foreign residents with regard to the issue of paper
money, time will show their groundlessness; and
the operations of speculatons carry with them their
own cure. There was time when they were dan
gerous, as having tendency to produce panlc'
and defeat the financial aims of government; at pre-
sent they can do no harm. If speculation causes
bills to rise above their natural price, may rest
assured that a reaction will sooner or later cause
them to fall far below the true point they had
risen above it.
The following table shows the course of the stocA

Here is all the information which Congress
needs to frame the new tariff. The bulk Of the
articles above enumerated would be imported
whatever the duty was; they may just as well be
made to yield double the revenue they do. The
export Of produce last week was not as heavy
as usual, though few years ago it would have
been considered an unusually heavy export to
have been made, without any shipments of cotton.
We cannot expect, for the remainder Of the win.
ter season, to ship as largely Of breadstuns we
have been doing. The gold shipment last week
was large. 1t is understood that it consisted
chiefly Of gold which was bought some time since,
and has been waiting for an advance in bills to go
abroad. At the present market price Of gold
there is no profit on shipping it to Europe even
against bills sold at ll4I. The following are the
