FINANCIAL Policy OF THE GovERsMEAT.-

FINANCIAL Policy OF THE GovERNMENT.--
The New York Times, in its editorial comments
on the financial policy of the Government states,
apparently by authority, that the associated
Banks will 60 no further with their loans to the
Government than the third fifty millions. OF
the new scheme Of finance proposed by Mr..
Chase, the Times remarks that sit would force
three quarters Of the banks into liquidation and
bankrupt the whole community" t
Ion, the intelligent correspondent Of the Bal
timore Sun, says: -
The country must be prepared for An impor-
tant change in its financial matters at the begin
ming of the new year. A general suspension of
specie payments by the banks, and probably by
the Government also, is about to occur. The
New York banks on Saturday last held only
twenty-six millions in specie. They were to
lose seventeen millions more this week in pay
ments to the Government, on account of the 10 st
loan. Suspension of specie payments is a mat
ter of necessity with them. The gold paid out
by them in loans to the Government does not
return to them. One reason is that holders of
coin are alarmed, and are beginning to hoard it.
1t is now certain that the banks cannot fur
ther aid the Government by loans, and that in
dividual capitalists will not. The treasury pro-
ject will not afford relief, but it is thought that
it would, if carried out force nearly all the local
banks into liquidation, and greatly increase the
public distress. -
But the Government has a resource in heavy
taxation, and in the issue of treasury notes, re-
ceivable in payment of all public Dues More
over it is believed that these treasury notes will
be made legal tender-a measure which, though
prohibited to the States, is not so to Congress.
In this way, receiving hundred and fifty mil
lions year by taxes, and issuing treasury notes
adj hbituna, the expenditures Of the Government
can certainly be sustained till the end of the next
fiscal year. Beyond that day it is difficult to
foresee anything of the future. %:

@rA project is now being agitated among
certain prominent members of Congress with re-
gard to the disposition of captured negroes Ii
is suggested that the Cherokees and other tribes
who occupy what is known as 'sthe Indian Ter
ritory," west of Arkansas, shall be summary
dspossessed of their lands, which are to be coded
to white settlers to whom the slaves captured
during the war are to be apprenticed, for the
purpose Of cultivating cotton in that region.

The schooner sunk by the Confederates
on Sunday evening the 22d ult. is said to be the
'Three Sisters" which was running up load
of pine wood. She was not sunk by what are
known as the Confederate batteries on the Po-
tomac, but by piece or two of field artillery
drawn to the Virginia shore at point far below
the fixed batteries on the river. The guns were
stationed nearly opposite Maryland Point, and
the place where the schooner was sunk is known
"a Boyds Hole.

h6 Messrs. Mason and Sldell with their
Secretaries, are doubtless on their way to Eng
land in the British mail steamer Niagara, Lord
Lyons having directed that steamer to proceed
to Boston harbor and receive them on board. -
Whilst the Niagara is engaged in this specific
duty, the Persia will take her place in the regu-
lar mail line from New York.
A~ Whether the maritime powers will reA
gard the closing of Southern harbors by sinking
vessels therein filled with stone, as legitimate
exercise of the rights Of belligerent, remains
to be seen. The London Morning Post-the
Government .organ-has already, briefly but
ominously, intimated that stone blockade
might lead to something sharper than remon-
strances.

hundred men, The battle is reported to have
been quite desperate one, and resulting disas-
trously to them, their loss being forty-three
