The imports are very much belo"
an average. The receipts tor II erchan-
disc, however, are more than IN 1861 by
about twenty six millions, but less than
in 1860 by iorty-nine millions. A larg-
or decrease than this might have beer
expected. We are receiving now about
two-thlrds of the amount OF foreign
goods that wo imported when the South
was supplied from this market. The
States now in rebellion, and whose trade
is suppressed by the war, took prota-
bly, not less than one-balf the import OF
New York. 1t would appear, therefore,
that the Free States are now consuming
more foreign goods than during times OF
peace. This fact is very extraordinary,
especially considering that the war, tar
IF, and other causes have advanced the
price of merchandise fully twenty per
cent. The conclusion is inevitable that,
in spite Of the war, there is q large
amount OF prosperity in the Free States

ARMY OFFICERS AND THE PREsIDENT.-The
following comes from Washington in a letter
to the New York Evening Post:
General McClellan's order to the army of
the Potomac, in which he refers to the eman-
cipation proclamation and defines the duty of
the army and its relation to the government,
gives great satisfaction here. The truth is
that the town was full of stories affecting the
loyalty of many of our army officers as con-
nected with the emancipation question. 1t
has been stated on apparently good authority,
that mauy of these officers OF the army
have openly denounced the presidents proc
clamation in the presence of the troops under
their command. These allegations reached
the president, and he has declared, as he told
Major Key, that he would tolerate no dsobed-
lent or disloyal men in the army. The decis-
ion displayed by Mr.. Lincoln in the Key af-
tair gives to the nation proof that he will en-
force his proclamation when the time arrives
and that he will tear the straps from the
shoulders of any army officer who attempts to
prejudice the troops against it. 1t is now
known that the president visited Gen Nc
Clellan to confer with him on this very mat
ter, and it has been satisfactorily arranged

DEATH OF AN EsTMABLE CITIzEN-We
learn with regret of the death of Tyler Batch
eler, Esq, the senior partner in the house of
I. & E. Batcheller & Co., and one who has
long been flvorably known as merchant of
great integrity and business enterprise. A
native of Brookfield, he began lite as shoe
manufacturer, and by his industry and energy
won place nearly if not quite at the head of
that branch of business. By the mercantile
disasters which followed the outbreak of the
rebellion, Mr.. Batcheller was sufferer but
still continued his labors with untiring assidu-
ity. His strong will was not sufficient, how
ever, to do battle with the growing feebleness
of years, and his strength suddenly failing,
after a weeks prostration, he died yesterday
morning, at his residence in Chester square,
in the Goth year of his age. He was connect
ed with many of our moneyed and benevolent
institutions, and for many years was deacon
of Park street church. Boston Daily i'd

1t is no new thing for political convention
to pass resolutions which mean much or lit
tie; but certainly the new party at its conven-
ton on Tuesday showed marvellous anti
tude for this sort of balancing, considering its
brief practice. Its resolutions touching the
president are a miracle of skill for their absti-
hence from either support or condemnation.
OF course it is understood that the majority of
the convention were opposed to the presi-
dents proclamation, if not to many other of
the recent acts Of his administration. 1t is
declared, however, on the one hand,
that entertaining these views they re-
Trained, from patriotic motives, from setting
themselves in open opposition to his policy.
On the other hand, we see that at Worcester
one Of the democratic members Of the Faneuil
Hall convention told the democratic caucus,
that the resolutions, fairly construed, CEN
snred the presidents emancipation proclama-
non" We must conclude therefore that,
whatever the motive, whether patriotic or in
terested, the trainers of the resolutions con-
triyed to trim their sail for either breeze with
a good deal of success.
The process by which this was done is more
clearly apparent than elsewhere, in the reso-
luton which is devoted specifically to the
president. Abraham Lincoln is solemnly
recognized as our responsible head, "whOse
rightf1 authority and power should be re-
ligiously guarded as the condition Of safety
for all our rights. But whether in the
one case which now absorbs the attention
of the country, the authority and power
exercised are "rightfA," is a point which
the convention is not to be blamed for
avoiding. When, however, there is added

seryatiuns, warning 10 the president 10 guard
