AsNuccLFn cAudnr IN HIS 0wy TRAp.-Anl lEngshman
giving his name as Hannibal Moore, appeared at tho
Twcntysoventh precinct station house yesterday aud
complained that he had been robbed by William Donald
SON proprietor OF boarding house at No 25 Greenwich
street. Hc stated that he had brought package con.
tanning 900 needles from England, for the purpose
of selling them IN tins country and that while stopping
the hotel Of the accused the greater part Of the pro-
perty was purloined Donaldson arrested the in.
stance OF the complainant when the prisoner made somo
revelations respecting the character OF his guest which
led tho officer to believe that he had accidentally got
upon the track Of smngger. Upon searching Moore's
bagg ge lie found his suspicious be correct for
trunk owned by the complainant was found large
quantity Of jewclry and hardware which had evidently
never passed through tho Custom House. Tho tables
were completely turned upon Moore and he was con.
fined cell in the same station house with Donaldson.
The prisoners will be examined in fun today-Moorc be.
fore the United states Commissioner, and Donaldson be-
fore Justice Connolly at the Tombs.

FINANCIAL AND CONNER ciAL.
FRIDAY, Sept. I2-6 P. M.

FRIDAY, Sept. lZ-6 L. M.
The money market is quite easy. Five per cent
is still the general rate for call loans; but we hear
OF large amounts offered at four. None of the
established houses are willing to allow five per
cent for money left with them on deposit, and very
few care about receiving money even at four.
Certificates of indebtedness sold again to-day at
9sA, and are quoted 9sl. At these rates they
are tempting investment to parties who have
been accustomed to employ their money in the
purchase of government paper, IS they yield per
cent per snnum, six Of which is payable in ooin,
and the balance in legal tender money.
Gold has been irregular to-day. 1t opened with
an active demand, and sold up to ll9H; after
ward it fell of and closed about llsM II. Ex-
change is inactive. without change of price.
Leading bankers ask 131; buyers are
unwilling to give over 1907 for the
best bills, and transactions are occa-
sionally made on this basis. The dry goods i'm
portcrs continue to require good many bills. not
withstanding the tariff, which, according to their
representations, was going to put an end to their
trade forever. Last week the imp portatons of dry
goods amounted to 81 AL 900, against $s06.00
same week last year, and 81 ,005 900 same week of
1850. Our aggregate importations of dry goods
for the year to date amount to $40 1874 00 against
$35 44s 900 to same date in 1861 and $50 1857 900
to same date in 1860. The more candid among the
importers do not disguise their belief that they
will do fair trade this fall. They say that the
foreign manufacturers will alter their styles to
suit the new tariff, and that people will buy as
many goods as ever, Notwithstanding the advance
in price.
Stocks were not very active to-day, and Wall
street was not as lively as it has been. The
weather may have operated to check
business, as well as the absence of
startling rumors. AT the first board the
market opened steadily but closed with
a downward tendency. Between the boards there
was rather less pressure TO sell. At the second
board prices recovered somewhat, but without
reaching yesterdays fgures the market closed
quite steady. Comparing the closing prices of the
day with those of yesterday, we note a decline Of

CoNHIsCATIoN.-The Journal Of yesterday
evening has an elaborate two-cOlumn artl-
Gle upon the subject of The con6scation OF
the property Of rebels, now agitating Con-
gress. 1t argues that Congress has the con-
slitutioual right to confscate, but contends
that such measure is not needed and would
10 every way he unwisc and bad policy.
We agree with the Journal entirely In the
latter opinion and we think, moreover,
that The right to confscate the euemy's
property does not belong to Congress. Mil
itary commanders, while In the enemy's
country, undoubtedly have the right TO APP
propriate any property, whether public or
private, that may be necessary to carry on
their operations; but except 10 cases of me-
cessity, the military code requires that pri-
vate property shall be respected. As the
Federal troops advance into Tennessee.
they clearly have the right, without any
express act of Congress, TO seize and use
the railroads for transportation purposes;
and if it is found that slaves are employed
by the enemy in constructing intrench-
menls, etc., the commanding general has
the ght to set them free. If the bill now
pending before Congress should become a
law, we think il would be an attempt to
usnrp the powers properly belonging TO the
military commanders, and as such would be
disregarded.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-03-08

THE WAR TAx.-There has been perfect
child's play in the Legislature in regard to the
payment of the war tax, and more picayuneish-
ness displayed than we ever thought men capa-
Bile Of. Instead of coming out bodily and voting
upon decided plan to raise money for the pur-
pose intended, every one OF the rising statesmen
Of the age, particularly in the House, has halt
ed between two opinions in regard to the mat
ter; one being an i'll defined opinion of his
own and the other an idea Of "any other man."
1t does seem as il California sinks lower and
lower in regard 10 her business matters in con-
nection with the Federal Government, and yet
for the very little she has done since the war
commenced, she has received more in proper
tion than any other State. All the useless talk
consumed in discussing how and when Califcr-
MAS proportion should be paid, has cost the
State more money than the l5 per cent allowed
for it's collection would come to. The State
has assumed the payment of the tax, now let it
be paid, and with some sort OF grace, so that
the Home Government will not be'placed in the
position Of suppliant to a portion of the
Union it has done so much for.-[Spirt of the
Times.

RUMoRED INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs.-The ru.
mors lately published of Indian depredations
in Nevada Territory, it seems are without
foundetiOn. The Carson City Age. of the
lst inst, says:
Mr.. J. T. Lockhart, Indian Agent, has re-
turned from tour on Walker river where he
has been on business connected with his office.
He reports the Indians in that vicinity all quiz
ct and disposed to remain so. The rumOrs OF
Indian depredations in the way Of cattle killing,
in the vicinity Of Carson Sink, are entirely
without foundation. They will shortly leave
that region and ''pitch their tents over against"
Truckee river for fishing purposes.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-03-08

TIE LATE ERUPTION OF VEsUvIUs.-We
have already given some particulars of the
late terrible eruption Of Mount Vesuvius,
which broke out about the 9th ofDecember,
and was continuing with uDabated violence
at last accounts. The city of Tore del
Greco, situated near The base Of the vol.
cano, on the Bay Of Naples, and which
lately contained $4,000 inhabitants, has
been nearly destroyed, and The most of the
population are fugitives, having been driv'
en- from their homes. A Naples letter, OF
December 2stb, says:
The destruction Of a city which numbered
%, 900 inhabitants, is so startling fact that
trust / shall not weary you by sending some
statistics which have this week gathered on
the spot. Covered with snow, vomiting ashes
still like l0,000-horse power factory chimney,
with ruined city ly ing at its feet, such IS the
spectacle which Vesuyius at this moment pre-
sents Unable to restrain my curiosity to know
what was passing behind the clouds of ashes
which intervcneG between us and the mountain,
went down again on Tuesday last, and direc-
ted myself to the committee who had been sit.
ting in permanence since the Sth instant. The
municipal building, fine old historical edifice
of the time ofthe Arragons, had been destroyed,
so that the committee was sitting in a suppress
ed monastery on the outskirts Of the town, and
not on the bed of old lava. The cloisters and
the stairs we're filed with squalid misery which
had come there for relief, and the Syndic and
his coadjutOrs to whose courtesy / am much
indebted, gave me the following information
Out Of population Of q, 900, $4,000 are fugi-
tiyes. Between so and 50 houses have already
fallen, and 800 are falling, the rest are more
or less injured. Out Of IL churches. 4 only are
uniniured but there is another fearful source
Of danger-the sulphurous exhalations which
are emitted in every direction, and which render
houses, in other respects comparatively safe,
uninhabitable. BY these exhalatons five or
six persons and all the animals, such as cats,
dogs, mice and birds, and the fishes in the sea,
have already been killed. In fact, two-thirds
of the city has been destroyed.

The BRODERICK WILL CAsS.-SimOnton,
the Washington correspondent Of the Bnl
letin, makes some statements, in late let
ter, with the view Of showing that the doc
ument purporting to be Broderick's will is
forgery. II all he says can be proven.
The document would doubtless be decided
spurious; but he is not very reliable cor
respondent, and ha7ing prejudice against
The legaiees named in the will, but little
confidence can he placed in his statements.
He is evidently very anxious that the will
should be declared spurious, whether II is 80
or not, aud some of his statements will not
bear Investigation. He asserts, for in.
stance. that John B. Haskin, who vas inti
mate with Broderick from childhood, will
swear positively that The signature of the
document is forgery, and that A. j. But
Ter virtually admitted as much to him.
Haskn was one of BrOderick's creditors.
and bis warm personal and political friend;
aud If it is true that he knew the will to bp
a forgery, it is somewhat strange be should
have kept the matter secret for two years.
and then divnlged it to Simonton, bitter
enemy of Broderick. Billy Mulligan and
one Willis. It is said, will make AFFIDAVIT,
that they knew the will was forgery from
the beginning; but their testimony, under
the circumstances, is good for nothing.
